Tomorrows announcement: "We were busy getting high and forgot to multiply the Borg armada rewards by 5,000x. Please accept our apologies and here is a crappy chest for your annoyance. The rewards are now correct"
vagrant topaz
The biggest problem is that the rewards are so low that spenders have no real incentive to buy packs in order to help their alliance...there's less in the packs than a standard ultra and there's nothing on the back end to make them worthwhile either.
eager fable
I hope that you give another 60 bps of the dvor either in the event store or at the store..... giving the dvor at the event store is good but giving only 60bps then selling in the store the whole 120bps? How are we gonna use half of the 120bps? I hope you’ll try to think how we could get the half of the required bps.... the same goes for the bps of the North Star....
dreamy trail
A little intel from my side.
This Event is so disappointing and shows a bad and dangerous way. Tbh, you are going to be to greedy.
100€ for what?
A few Armadas with nearly 0 Rewards.
Even it’s just a copy&paste with new skin and not more. It looks like 0 effort. Also the story so far is just, meehhhh.
So great the last 3 Arcs were so bad is this one.
I’m only doing what is needed to bring the most to my ally, the rest I don’t care.
If you keep it that way your servers will even die much faster as they already do.
Why didn’t you kept it the way you had it before with those 20€ packs?
I will never get it, which game doesn’t matter. With a lot paying a few you will get more in the end as with a few paying a lot.
But yes, that’s like the modern world works.
thorny turret
Yeah, I can justify dropping $30-$40 dollars on this game here and there... these $129-$189 bundles just make me feel depressed.
vagrant topaz
The premium priced borg tech pack has 4k salvage, 2 epic 1 rare directives plus 220uc of each type and 30 rare each...that's 6 epics and 2 rares you can start plus the comparatively low amount of materials...not even enough to get the solo milestone event done without hoping on a few extra...pack contents are for lvl38 account, dunno if they vary by lvl

How can I do 75 armada in 7 hours to get another 7500 points?
vagrant topaz
That's only 6hr15min...plenty of time 😂
rugged delta
@exotic cape I’m told it’s for levels too low to get the Borg armadas
I’m not yet able to build my Vi’dar
modern urchin
Borgmadas should drop salvage. At least then there would be a cascade effect. I am not going to waste £100 to get 1000 inert nanoprobes when I could just farm scouts for free. I really dont get it!? Happy to support the game but the rewards don't match the cost so I am respectively spending my money elsewhere on other titles.
tall hearth
I do not see it feasible to make borgmadas when for me and my alliance there are 2 directives per borgmada (we cannot win the first time) that implies spending double to get 500 points
on the other hand, if there are parts for the dvor and for the franklin in the event store, they could also have put them for the Vidar since if we wanted we could buy several Vidars during the event in the store
modern urchin
Are you using the Vidar? Mine T6 can beat the 25s really easily. Only way to get tokens is via Alliance helps presently so we are just suiciding envoys against npcs
Hmm @tall hearth Vidar is in my event store, what ops level are you?
tall hearth
I do not say blueprints of the Vidar, I say the ones you need to improve it (that you have to use the refinery to obtain it)
and of course a t6, mine went up to t3 yesterday and between 4 we only gathered 700k of power, which is insufficient to complete the borgmada
There would not be so much complaint if instead of taking away 1 of the 2 daily events to put the event of making borgmadas they added this as a third daily event, in my alliance we continue to earn only 200 points a day for not being able to do the borgmadas, which means that we won't even get directives to attack the megacube
modern urchin
Hmm, yes I am not sure why actives are not in the store yet the ones for the officers are. I have been doing double batches to speed things up but even then I need about 10 days worth of refines to tier mine to 7. Will take me a while but I had the good sense to work on upgrading the Vidar after the last arc, though uc crystals have also been an issue
acoustic lodge
this is just wtf
how about making this one more achievable, instead of having to run 150 times
I was running those suckers back to back yesterday for what felt like an eternity, and it only ended up being 26????
Also Nobody on our server has been able to kill an Epic Borg Armada

The cubes should drop salvage to keep the ball rolling. Nuff said

@vagrant topaz
Exactly 😩😩 when the most expensive pack IS NOT EVEN ENOUGH to reach the 15k requirement of a daily event.... There something really wrong.
Last milestones should be no more than 1000 points. Certainly not 15 k 🙄

Do they mean that real, if you change alliance during event you cant get more alliance event points and rewards? That is a joke!!!!!!!!!

If the borg cubes dropped more nanoprobes, I am sure someone with a bad sense of humor would come and kill all vidars as they are OPC. 😅

Events Store
(1) Why can't I view something, back out and end up back in the events store instead of getting dumped to the Events where I have to go BACK to the events store to look at something else? I mean, c'mon, that's basic a basic UX issue.
(2) Why can't the transwarp cell I buy in the events store work for completing a mission when I only get 2 from Scopely per day, my transwarp cell dole? Why can't that cell, which looks EXACTLY like the other cell that's for spheres (and has the same name!) work for regular probe farming?
sharp token
@vagrant topaz they are not named the same, the regular one is "Transwarp Cell", the new one is "Borg Transwarp Cell"
they also don't look the same
the original one has 4 "V's", one in each direction, the new one only has 2, in the up/down direction
hearty stag
Are they actually trying to push people away from the game with the massive leap in paywalls now? I was all for dropping in £100 here and there for special event stuff but from the moment the ten of ten officer was released it got silly and has just worsened... Whatever they’re making definitely isn’t being put back into game development given the constant stack of bugs. Also pretty sure the people making decisions can’t have actually any knowledge of the gameplay given the borg armada rewards... 150 inerts? Na I’ll swerve this one thanks!
vagrant topaz
This Borg event is utter bollocks. All missions aimed at lvl25+ players, all events requiring to have powerful ships and a very large wallet with £100’s of expendable income to piss up the wall in the store for very little reward. 100% driven by disgusting capitalist greed, would even go so far as to say targeting people sat at home because of the current international crisis. Disgusting and will be costing the servers the activity of free to play players.
silk pecan
These series of events have always been "build for the next event" suffer some pain now / spend some money now and the rewards will be better next time! The event store, i like. The rewards are good, the choice is even better. Borgmardas? I mean whats the point? the effort required is low, but the cost is high. The wall to climb for the alliance milestone is huge. Most people are just going to skip this event and move on. I was actually enjoying the borg stuff, the excitement around borgarmadas was huge, and its been a massive letdown. Get your act together, listen to the players. Maybe think about making a great game people want to spend money on, rather then a sub par game people have to spend money on to get anywhere.
scarlet escarp
I only joined this game a few months ago and have really enjoyed my time on it. That being said I had the opportunity to play through the first arc and achieved things like unlocking the vidar and such. Didn't have to spend money (although I did on the 20 quid packs because they where good). Missed out on some officers but kind of thought that was okay considering I didn't want to buy them.
Now compared with this arc.
I don't see any kind of decent end reward goal to justify grinding let alone paying for it..
The Borg mega cube content looks fun but are many people actually going to be able to access that content? If not all your effort creating it was for nothing, and if so what rewards is there to gain from it?
They're problems yes, but if you read all of the feedback you'll see most of it is negative.. because you don't implement and listen to people.
Bugs
Refinery rates
Lack of finished high level content.
All things I see here pretty much everyday.
Alot of players don't even play the game how you designed it because it would kill the game..
Anyways 😅 probably won't read this.
lusty nexus
Terrible event guys, I haven't been able to score a single point so have stopped paying attention to it, except esprit de corps cause I can actually do that. To be effective in it requires at least 2 people with vidar at good tier and around 1M power (which takes long time for those just got it) and then coordinate across time zones and work schedules to ensure everyone gets a chance. That assumes we have no life other than this. Rewards are poor as well from what I have seen. I would happily spend some cash on a supporting pack but you only ever send me £50 and £100 ones and most ones for this event are £100. The only £20 pack was restricted to one purchase, but you could get 4 x £100 packs.... stupid. I have asked so many times to send me £20 pack offers as I never have £50 to spare in one go let alone £100, but all you say is that they are packs aimed at my progress so far...... YOU ARE LOSING SALES!!! I tell my staff all the time that losing sales when someone is actively looking to spend is beyond criminal. What is going on???
jade latch
Borg armada event is a complete joke, spent real money to help my game and alliance and rewards from Borg armadas suck, also 15k daily solo target? £95 might get me 25% of daily target leaving me having to spend another £285 or hoping 3 more alliance members drop the dough, and that's just for one Day, ONE DAY!!! And that's just for 4 players, if we helped each other, my alliance has 73 players in it so do the MATHS to get all the players to achieve their targets for just ONE DAY!. Looks like it's a 3 one day event also, so times that by 3 also W.T.F is this a billionaires game NOW! And Borg event still has 12 days to run, I don't mind spending money on a FTP game I enjoy but this is going the way Kixeye went. I'm getting to the point where I'm going to move on and spend what money I can afford on another game, and it won't be Scopely, just like I refuse to play any Kixeye games ANYMORE! Shame Scopely don't learn, I enjoy the game but it's the players that kept me playing, but everyone has Thier limits and I'm close to my LIMIT!!!
dapper flint
Complete failure of an event, not only have you set up paywalls where someone has to pay a lot to help others in an alliance but the rewards are a joke for the amount you ask. If you want to ruin your income stream keep doing this, watch the players and payers leave.
vagrant topaz
@sharp token 'Borg Transwarp Cell' and 'Transwarp Cell' pretty much read the same to me, since they're both....borg. C'mon. That's poor design, no defense. I'd argue it's a glaring UX issue.
Oh, the Esprit de Corps - appears the Help All button only counts as one, so gotta hit them one by one.
sharp token
i don't disagree with that statement @vagrant topaz but you said they are named the same and look "exactly" the same
vagrant topaz
@sharp token Well, good for you. I hope you feel like a real man.
sharp token
lol, don't know why you're being rude
vagrant topaz
@sharp token Because you're just diluting the point to make yourself look smart. And that's fine, I won't judge, but the point of the matter is that they DO look alike, are easily mistaken, and on a widdle scween, it doesn't make a difference to most people.
So, while I appreciate your pedanticism, it's open to being mocked. 😉
sharp token
to make myself look smart? no, i'm just pointing out that they are not the same thing, that's why you can't use them interchangably
vagrant topaz
So, after this guy has his say again (because he will)-
The Transwarp cells in the event store are easily mistaken for their use, and it's poor UX. And why on earth can't people buy them to farm probes anyway?
pallid sand
What about stopping screaming on each other and screaming on scopely 🙄
vagrant topaz
@pallid sand Kinda my point.
modern urchin
I love the decreased timers and the fact that they are more of them but I actually need salvage to exchange to do them in the first place. I really dont understand it given the rewards are pretty pants. £200 to do all the solo milestones and then you can only get enough points for 3 10of10 shards
Maybe someone forgot to put the salvage in the borgmada drops?
pallid sand
More probably they didn't test anything as usual and didn't understood how having a daily event impossible to do would alienate players 🙄
stray harbor
How about some realistic goals for the borg armadas? You expect each person to get up to 150 armadas to complete the event in a day? Yeah, not paying for that crap. This latest borg set has been a complete failure to the players.
This is the first time that an event has frustrated me to the point of quitting.
silk pecan
Alot of people are just putting up 7 day shields and taking a break.. i dont blame them
tall hearth
<@&509690795536941056>
I hope you read everything above this comment and tell your superiors that they are managing to kill the game
sharp token
@stray harbor i would say the real goal is to complete 5 armadas a day, not 150, which is why the other milestones don't give progress towards the alliance milestone event
lusty nexus
As above, I am 7 day shield, only dropping in to refresh miners and complete dailies
jade latch
@sharp token Correct alliance target is 500 points I believe, 15k is solo target, I bought a pack and ran 20 plus uncommon Borg armadas, and I wasn't the only one, yet just over half was able to achieve alliance target of 500 points for the day and we have 3 more days to go, I'm nearly out now, can maybe hit 500 today and use my rare and epic for the next day to hit that, after that it'll be another pack need and even less alliance members hitting their alliance target as I can not run another 20 plus and neither can the other members that bought packs yesterday.
tacit rapids
The borg event points exchange has disappeared from the Event Store

@tacit rapids swipe right, it's there still I've just exchanged 🖖

It might disappear after you use it
Check again?
I've heard from 2 alliance members now that they don't see it
boreal canyon
I simply cannot understand where the logic is for having 15,000 points as top tier in armada event. Granted some events are difficult, but this is just...impossible. 1 day to complete? How about 1 month.
boreal canyon
That said, the amount of armadas is great, attacking the cubes is fun, the shorter timer is a plus in my opinion, and the ability to select armada members is nice. I just don't see much reason to do them past the 500 point mark
hollow frost
Armada daily is horrible. No way to complete it unless you spend serious money. God awful way to treat players.

This might be the most badly thought out event ever 🤷♀️ !
I got level 25 yesterday and what happend? Yes, I got all the tasks you need a Vi'Dar for !!!
Has anyone at scopely thought about that for a second? Do you get a full fletched Vi'Dar when you reach level 25? (Hint: Nope!)
So now I can watch the event without the slightesed possiblity to get some war tokens (except for Corps spirit)!
Well thought through I must admit
@azure epoch thats of course to torture people which resist to use the shop 😉

Final showdown would have been fine if the cubes had dropped salvage instead of probes. Would have made doing rares and epics a reality and solo event a reality.

They dont want you to do solo event, its only in there for whales and even then you have to spend £300
Im just doing the 500 points and doing something else with the rest of my day.

We pnly have 100 people on the server active.....so its a bust for all alliances bar possibly 1
modern urchin
Ours is pretty active so not really an issue, its a shame the devs dont bother checking server activity levels before setting unrealistic mile stones. Being on an active server has its disadvantages too, no way i can rank under 20 in an event to win 300 parsteel
spark cypress
Well weve had about 45 people in allaince doing event. With a bit of coordination we should hit the milestore for the 10 mega directives today. Made sure everyone did 2 or 5 uc cubes every day. Its just a shane that it feels the rare and epics are out of reach unless you spent on the pack. Its not even about the leaderboards.. we expect whales to buy their place with them.
modern urchin
You cant even hit the top solo with one of the £100 packs, so not at all worth doing. I am just doing my 500, if I spend 100 scrap on one UC borgmada and others in my alliance do the same (I have 5 armada slots) we can all do 500 points. Its just a shame its not worth the effort doing any more and there is nothing left to do for the events
ripe elm
We have bought packs....and even with a lot of effort are on 33k points....so far away
spark cypress
Yeah, like i say i expect they should have dropped salvage instead of probes.. that would havw totally transformed the event.

There just isnt enough points possible per person per day...need 70 plus in alliances...how is it our fault they have our server with only 100 people on it?
dim whale
<@&509691205798592532> we are a very active alliance of 32 members. We have been very very active in hitting Borg cubes, we have 4 players in the top 10 of the solo Borg armada points event. However the structure of this event means despite that we are only on 68,000 points, which is nowhere near getting to the megacubes. If this is the great finale and all this effort is for nothing I think the game will loose a lot of players. I for one would be gutted after all this effort.
valid phoenix
@languid marlin you are correct that the CC's cannot do anything about it 😆 we mods are not thrilled with this Event and have provided extensive feedback both from our perspective and the community's and will be providing more.
dim whale
@valid phoenix - is there a third phase coming where this excluding of huge chunks of the player base can be corrected?
valid phoenix
@dim whale I am not sure. I believe each stage increases the points (we are in Phase 2 now). But it may be difficult for smaller alliances. I will ask.
dim whale
Thanks @valid phoenix. Why they would set any event that is just based on alliance size and not alliance effort Is beyond sense and unnecessary. We compete and score regularly in top 3 when it is an alliance effort based event even with 32 players on a very busy server (server12). The recent hostile grind be event where everybody complained smaller alliances could not complete we did in 1 1/2 days just through effort. This finale that excludes alliances just based on player numbers is just fundamentally wrong.
ripe elm
@valid phoenix I am not sure how we pay the price for a server with only 100 players total....
4 alliances ...
58 people at all

dim whale
@valid phoenix these screen shots should tell the whole story
Loads of effort from individuals and alliance, no rewards and no chance of competing in the fun part of the event hopefully with rewards. Sickening
Given we were told to keep participating (and spending to try and compete) because points would increase significantly from phase 1 onward, ie keep going you will be able to complete I feel totally misled and want a refund on any monies spent on Borg Armadas.

<@&509690795536941056> <@&509691205798592532> Moderators and Managers, how is scopely going to compensate players who spend 100$ on borg directives who get killed by trolls while they are waiting for their rare and epic armada to start? Your inability to regulate people who are ruining the game is costing player real life money and thats worse than just regular troll action
past fossil
If this comes across as blunt or harsh my apologies. But the game has PvP and has had wide bandings for a very long time. There is no guarantees attached to a large majority of purchases in the store and again it’s been that way for a long time
If someone chooses to spend $100 on something that could be ‘griefed’ or ‘stolen’ the person didn’t go into that blindly
jagged mango
Indeed the options to control single guerillas is quite limited.
The mark as enemy was just a simple step, but not enough.
Nevertheless a defender ship should be present when big armadas are done
past fossil
There is risk attached and in some sense a form of gambling 🤷 (mobile games love this) it’s a bit like poker, don’t buy into something you’re not willing to lose
jagged mango
A defined 'defender ship' on a given area would be great. Always protecting the alliance ships inside that area and take the 'first battle'
Automated of course ;)
regal elk
@past fossil Your response is inadequate, these events are designed to entice people to spend, and if trolls come around and regularly mess it up, how will that work? Lets not forget this isnt a PVP game, this is mining game. The Walking Dead, also a scopley game is a pvp game with rules and events. Also, equating this game as gambling is completely false. You know the odds when gambling. No one here spends $100 expecting 50% chance of it returning ZERO. You're basically telling us dont spend any money. How long will this game last if that happens?
@jagged mango I'm not talking about single guerillas, i'm talking about alliances that condone and encourage this behavior who have the biggest wallets
valid phoenix
always advisable to send multiple ships to an armada if you are concerned about it being stolen
@regal elk this is a pvp game. It is common knowledge that armadas can be stolen
regal elk
When they roll in with a 5M Jelly, into a space where you need special cells to get to, not everyone has even a ship that can stop that
valid phoenix
Its the way the game is...
jagged mango
@valid phoenix badly with game lags that manual defending not always works out. Without an automated ingame option that always works.
regal elk
@valid phoenix i know armadas can be stolen, but this is special events to tell us to spend. Spending $100 and then just getting it wiped out is bull.
valid phoenix
I do not know what to tell you. There were other armada events in the past with the same outcome for many.
past fossil
And thus the cycle continues, spenders get frustrated and either spend more to stop it happening again by upgrading their ships or they stop spending. Every so often the first thing happens and Scopely gets more money which is why they are successful
FYI I’m talking purely as a player - I’m not employed by Scopely @regal elk
valid phoenix
I do not like it either. My preference would be once launched an armada could not be launched by an opposing faction and ships inside the circle could not be attacked. but this is what we have

<@&509691205798592532> I posted some screen shots above which highlight my alliance’s position in trying to get enough points to get to the megacube part of this arch. Is there any expectation that we can at least get to being able to run megacube armadas? If not then there is a massive massive problem with this event because as you will see from the screen shots we have been very very active but still have under 70k points.

@sonic robin 100%. conflict= more revenue/return on shareholders investment
mystic kraken
@cunning meteor individual effort doesn't get you very far in this event, it's all about the alliance. first week you maxed 200 pts per person per day, second week it's 300. The point system is geared towards large active alliances, small alliances are left behind.
dim whale
@mystic kraken then please explain how we have the 3rd most ALLIANCE points for Borg Armadas on a very active server and yet are nowhere near the points we need?
mystic kraken
If you look at the reward structure for this event, the first 500 points on the SMS give you "War effort" points. Everything after that just gives war funds.
winged axle
How many actives you have Fire?
mystic kraken
so, you need a full alliance to do 5 armadas apiece to maximize points. After you win 5, any wins after that helps the ALB, but doesn't help the war effort.
dim whale
I would say 30
winged axle
Hmm.lets do some math
First 4 days everyone got 200 per day
Last 3 days(not counting today) everyone got 600 per day.
With 30 actives you would have 200×4×30+600×30×3=78k
But how many points you have right now in milestone event?
dim whale
77840
mystic kraken
nailed it!
dim whale
Part way through today and not all been online
winged axle
Nice so yeah you truly have 30 actives
Panic said it will be easy for 50 member alliances in DJ's podcast
If it is easy for 50+,I would say it is possible for 30 actives even if you might need to complete all of the events
sharp token
my alliance has got around 30 actives and are at 91.5k on the milestone
winged axle
But need to see points per day during phase 3 to be sure
dim whale
@sharp token you guys must have dropped some cash on the pack that gives you extra points?
winged axle
Yeah 90k for 30 actives seems a bit high 🤔
winged axle
Probably around 35
mystic kraken
I think one of the days you got extra points, because PVP II was broken.
dim whale
Each pack gives you 3600 war points
mystic kraken
they sent a comp chest and restarted the event. I think you keep any points you got before they removed it + comp + that event
winged axle
Shhh! My math is correct! 😂 dont find mistakes
mystic kraken
🤐
sharp token
though looking at the ALB event, we only have 29 placed
winged axle
That is interesting 🤔
sharp token
some of the actives are < 23 though
dim whale
Anyway point is we have been very active and are not close to running the megacubes and nobody said we couldn’t complete it.
winged axle
Same amount of points.lvl doesnt matter
winged axle
Yeah I get it Fire,but I would say wait for phase 3.Maybe you will get 1k per day per player
sharp token
can't get participation ifnromation about the milestone event 😦
winged axle
We asked for a way to track actives during milestones events from Devs when we got CoW for the first time
I hope they do something
dim whale
We’ll see but Scopely could fix this before they run phase 3?
winged axle
Doubt it.They already planned and released showdown arc so making changes would be near impossible IMO
dim whale
Well if it proves impossible to finish this is really unfair - events must be effort based not just size based. The’ll be a lot of refunds needed for money spent on an event that could not be completed to get the real rewards.
sharp token
i actually think that's why there was no $20 premium pack this arc, because if they did it similar to previous arcs, there would be so many people not completing the milestones and therefor not getting all the premium rewards
and likely get very upset about it
dim whale
Well there’s a lot of upset people already who bought Borg Arnada packs with no rewards in them being told that’s not where the rewards are, just wait for Borg megacubes when you get there then to be screwed!
sharp token
i mean, i wouldn't say there is no reward in them (as someone who's bought one of the packs) as theres a lot of other stuff in them, like trit, uncommon, rare, etc, though the armadas themselves were pretty underwhelming
dim whale
The balance rewards in Armadas packs drop from the Armadas. In this case these were a route to the megacube rewards we were told.
sharp token
and it actually did make a huge difference in how our alliance did with the 500 pts per person

dense anchor
Do we have any idea how many mega cube directives are needed to attack one? I assume it’s more than 1 since the first tier where you get them awards 10

@dense anchor - the FAQ actually covered this. Hold on while I grab the SS.
Mega = 10 directives

Lucky you. Highly active 30 players out of 32 and just over 82k. Well done Scopely for screwing your player base straight in the ass again
Oh and spent $100’s to ensure we could run enough stuff to make sure we got all our stuff maxed out. No warning that at 30 players we could not complete. What normally happens to a business that sells items for something that cannot be obtained?

Absolutely no alternative event for players who cant participate in Borgmadas

This event has been a stressful effort to arrange as many players as possible to reach their first two armada milestones with the limits on travelling to and launching against targets.
If this is going on for further days I can see a larger proportion of our players just not bothering.
vagrant topaz
Nah, it ends in 6h 25 min
What is starting is a mistery
🤣
Sure? We still get tech salvage for 9 more days and nobody would bother doing borg armadas for 150 nano probes without an event.
As I said, this thing is ending. But what starts is beyond me...
Yea, I know Mega Cube is up next but still...
Hm, ok. Let's wait and see.
Oh I'm still preparing for discord burning down

fossil jasper
That's kinda par for the course yes
But there is other things that you can do to squeeze some more juice out the game
Alliance events need activity as well as having the biggest ship
We've had first place and top 3 on some events.... Activity and teamwork still have a roll

weren't we supposed to be getting more war effort points per day with phase 3?
looks the same to me

it might be possible to get lower level missions instead of level 25. I have been stuck at level 19 for a while now. I still have many open missions that I cannot complete yet. my thalla is barely 30000. and most of the missions that are open. 40000 110000 235000 and so on

We had a 6 man raid take two shots at a megacube first with all maxed Vidar and then with 4 star ships in the 6-7 mill range. They took about 10% off it

Wow what is the point? People should be asking for all their Borgmada money back. What a farce
vagrant topaz
Hey guys, anyone know or tried to see if Chen activates on these mega Borg cubes as they are labelled 'special hostiles'
obtuse wraith
So this event is like separatist bosses meet armada. Killing the armada does give points in one event, but mostly its about damage done and spending directives. Where is the wow loot?
These Armadas should drop salvage parts, dropping cells like probes is a joke.

These mega cubes are terrible. Scopely, you're losing us as players with every greedy event.

gusty hornet
Cool event guys, heres some "feedback"
- The Art department gets an A+. The megacube looks dope as hell. Theyre the best part of stfc team, hands down. Give them all raises.
- The concept is cool, multiple targets on a massive structure, thats pretty neat.
- The execution really sucks. Really, really blows. Most battle logs ive seen dont go past 2 rounds. Hugely expensive ships barely dent this thing. You nerfed assimilated decius. This execution of the concept is not fun at all.
Everything was set up to make this really cool and....you failed.
Some Suggestions to make people interested in doing this...
- remove the player cap on megamadas and let the entire alliance join. If not that, then double or triple it.
2)let us invite allies or friends to join our megamada.
3)Activate all the "forbidden" officer abilities versus these things.
4)How about nerfing these targets just a scooch? Maybe they just dont fire the first round so my smaller alliance mates actually get a shot off and feel like theyre contributing a little.
This event is not fun. It couldve been fun. It might be fun in the future. But today it sucks. Except the art department. Give them raises.
iron violet
💯 @gusty hornet
They could have made this really cool and fun. I love the whole alliance effort idea or alliance collaboration effort. That's an awesome idea!!!

We said our ally just start mega cube and fly directly home just to get the 5000 points. Absolutely ridiculous

How about something for at least participating in Mega Armadas and incurring multiple repair bills. I have no desire to go to an armada 4x a day just to incur only a repair bill with literally nothing as a 'thank you' for participating. I get that is is a point event for the alliance but players sacrificing ships and getting a pittance of points and nothing else... I'm done with it.

They really should’ve just made Borgmadas like regular armadas. Why have special tokens that we need to get special rewards that we need to get special transwarp cells to reach a special area of the map that has special armadas that we need special tokens to buy special items just to start the borgmada just to get crappy rewards?
Should’ve been a bunch of borg cube armadas in regular systems that are treated like regular armada targets.

First world problems, I know.
However, the Mega Borg Cube Event is not showing the Silver/Bronze Frames for 2nd and 3rd place finishes respectively, like it was for the prior Borg Armada Event. Might have been forgotten or an oversight?

Such huge disappointment 😩 to think I was enjoying these Borg events and putting some cash into them for upgrading and the officers - what an absolute waste when this is what that all amounts too
woeful narwhal
Yeah sorry to say but this is the worst arc so far. What a flop! You could have made it so good, but you’ve just made us repeat the same stuff over and over and get minimal rewards. Where has the creativity gone? Disappointing scopely, absolutely nobody I’ve spoken to likes this arc.
Hardly any storyline - which could be ok if there was something interesting, or some decent rewards for the amount of time you expect us to play.
Reward your player base, don’t make them hate you, you’re so out of touch with your customers it’s unreal.
Most players can’t kill an armada, and when they do, 6k inert nanos? You think that’s a good reward? 🙈💩
Big companies sometimes do have friends in the same industry, maybe you guys should try and buddy up with Bethesda. People that play their games actually like and respect the company that made them.

This whole borg arc has been nothing but a cheap scheme for y'all to sell more packs in game that are nearly worthless. Everything would cost anywhere between $300, $400, and $600 just to complete one event or obtain one thing fully from the event store. I've lost all respect for Scopely, Digit, and CBS.
These borg armadas are also the most worthless piece of junk in this game

So we go to these mega cubes die 4 times for zero points? Makes sense smh

What i'd really like is to see an event that encourages me to play, even if it is a bit of a grind. All this borg arc has told me is to do the bare minimum for alliance rewards, and shield/play something else. It's split the game into spenders who are pay per play with what looks to me like minimal rewards, and everyone else that's got nothing to do and no motivation to try.

More milestones? Please don’t make this big alliance centred. If you do that allow MORE POINTS to be scored daily, capping daily points that give you war points just penalises smaller but very active alliances.

I would love to know why in server 15, the top 3 alliances get to decide to run a private event, competition, to destroy all warships. This has the effect of denying the entire server from participaring in dailies, hostile/borg/swarm grinding and scopely events. Will the server be compensated for lost rewards because of a couple of bully alliances?

Nope

fast lagoon
can someone help define the terms of a server merge.
and forgive me for a lack of understanding but i want it to be crystal clear.
Is a server merge, two separate populations being brought together into a single population, or will server populations be fractured and sent to various different servers. If the latter is the case will alliances be shattered in the process?
viscid phoenix
No one will know for sure until they actually do it, but it’s highly unlikely they would fracture existing populations. It would seem safe to assume it’s two separate populations being brought together
fast lagoon
now I understand it makes no sense to split a server population up
but scopley has made questionable decisions in the past, and that scenario isn't an impossibility.
BUT: it might be a good idea, to pool the information of all the KOS players in all servers and dump them into a single server, to live out their days on the game breaking roe on each other to their heart's content.
like that Jet Li movie "one" where the criminals of the multiverse are dumped on to a single planet.
Server Designator -1: the KOS server
viscid phoenix
Plus, splitting existing populations across multiple other servers seems like a much harder task so Scopely are unlikely to go down that road.
fast lagoon
might make their fuzzy little heads explode.
viscid phoenix
I take your point on moving all the aholes to one server though. I imagine that’s something every server has wished for 🤣

take all those chat banned people and put em all in 1 place.
we only have 1 perma chat banned player.

clever dawn
So basically if you don’t have an epic lvl 50 ship you are useless in this event? You take the points for starting and that’s it. @prime gulch @cobalt elm what’s the point?
languid marlin
It is supposed to be a rally event to band the server together. We are supposed to combine our efforts to down the mega cube.
In reality, it is solo alliance effort and griefers. Only alliances that stand a chance are full of whales. Even then, they struggle.
livid topaz
If you make the borg mega cube armada unlimited by the acc so that as many players even others from other alliances could join in... this would be fun. I’d like a borg fight with 4-5 alliances and anyone that wanted to fight being able to join. Unlimited @prime gulch

@fast lagoon KOS are well behaved on my server...

@livid topaz and by using the new star systems the starter can select which ones he prefers
mild glacier
@near glacier if you coordinated with other alliances it was possible to take down the target in only a few hits with no shield regen. you just had to space the armadas only about 5 seconds apart.
It was still very much trash though.
vagrant topaz
@near glacier yes because what an event with limited directives and warp coils needs is a forced pvp element thrown in...most servers quickly set up agreements between alliances that these restricted access systems are pvp free zones in order to avoid exactly that scenario.
wet vale
We coordinated to have 4 alliances work on the same one - the only satisfaction was getting it down, we all know the reward is non-existent.

Wonder if we could convince the live ops team to pretend there’s an issue with the event and pull it so we can all get back to doing something more engaging?

This event really does suck Scopely. The constant armada attrition is boring and the number of times you can do this is dependent on how much you spend and it could have been so much better. The whole ethos of the missions leading up to this event was to get the independent factions together to fight the Borg but what is there in way of outcome to this event? Rewards for the servers fighting off the Borg invasion would have created a sense of cohesion for the whole server regardless of whether you are ftp or p2w and would make it a truly unified attack as opposed to a rinse and repeat of an armada event with a different hook. Here are some ideas for your consideration that are totally different to your usual.
-
Tactical Borg Sphere systems
This is where all the spheres act like faction hunters and start coming towards the nearest ships in the system. Make it difficult by having an ability for the spheres that completely negates the players shields once destroyed so that players will face the next sphere with less shields - that way players need to work together to stop the same player getting hit by multiple spheres before their shields have time to regenerate. -
Borgmadas with Consequences
How about systems where the Borg cubes don’t just reappear but have waves of reinforcements every four hours? Cube systems could be depleted and would need to be or friendly faction systems would suffer. You could even make it an event with three sets of Borg systems one by each faction. Let there be consequences if a Borg wave reinforces an already populated system of Borg cubes - such as using the faction store. After the event if the Borg cubes were kept at bay then you get cheaper faction purchases for a week for the faction you helped defend. If reinforcements overwhelmed the defence then the faction store becomes more expensive for a week.
- Assimilation of Worlds
Borg have started to assimilate planets and outposts around the galaxy using transwarp conduits to bypass defensive perimeters. Like normal armadas but each cleansing of all outposts in a system clears that sector for 12 hours. If a neighbouring system has not been cleared then when the armada targets respawn then they do so with assimilated tags on them. The idea is to cleanse all armada targets before they all spawn once more.

I enjoyed the arc until the last part I was really hoping for a alliance armada 15 to 20 players in the armada. Also the prizes for the mega cube are not even in the ball park for the money and effort to destroy a mega cube target. Wow wow not even close at all. It’s became get your war points and do nothing else with that whole new borg area. Was good arc till the end.
I could really care less about how big you said the cube was that’s trivial I won’t lose any sleep over that.

Well I spent $60 on the last 3-part series, this Arc I spent zero. Go analyze those metrics.

And you've alienated the little spenders by shoving £100 packs with rubbish in them anyway
inner oasis
this is the most boring event ever... and 48 h more of it
viscid phoenix
More like 118 more hours
😭
I think I’d prefer to be water boarded for 4 days more than this
modern urchin
It would be a more fun event watching the borg build the damn thing in real time
wild nebula
Scopely plan things out just like any other company. I am now wondering whether the whole $20 premium rewards were designed to reel the fish in. Trying to get them on the hook to buy the more expensive packs. Hmmmmm.....
modern urchin
If that were the case they would let me buy prime officers.
tardy lagoon
Scopely plan things out just like any other company. .....
@wild nebula
LOL. I appreciate your optimism.
full ether
Even with arc 3 being so bad and with all the negative comments I want to know why scopely didn't just cancel the darn lousy crappy event? And to think this will continue for God knows how long
languid marlin
All this final event does, at best, is encourage players to do the bare minimum and shield for the rest of the day.
inner oasis
I am done with the event in about 5-10 min, get my 500 points and leave
that anybody buys the packs baffles me, but even my whale mates have stopped after finishing a MC
wild nebula
All seriousness now - when this arc ends, I don't care for a chest. I just could do with a nice Military Supremacy event... offering lots of trit. HINT HINT
inner oasis
Trit will become a non issue once you're like level 32+. But don't think for a second that it's better to be lacking the amounnts of Dil and steel needed
subtle night
There is no Way regularar Players can kill mega cube this is nonsens. Do you really think People Will buy packs over any eventy you are posting?
Only this week 3 People from my ally deciced to quite this game...
inner oasis
Unfortunately there are people buying packs for the MC...
I hope it's very low Overall, only language they understand
subtle night
It would be great game... If not this p2w
And bugs 🤣 but its not suprise if you think devs need to lounch new event to get some more money from ppl
outer hemlock
rewards suck for borg events and concept of pay to play events is terrible, there was literally no way to win events other then paying and even you paid the rewards were bad.
tulip grove
Going from two community surveys, we'd like more faction hunt events please! - preferably before the borg recruit special - 2x chance disappears. 🙂
inner oasis
Borg 2x Recruit just another hidden scam, no chance for unlock
quiet furnace
I haven't heard anyone having a lucky pull in the officer packs for months, just another scam
rose frost
I haven't had a lucky pull in a bit
sharp token
i had a lucky pull in the premium recruit pack just a few days ago
but the borg recruit special doesn't give you any chance of a lucky pull
inner oasis
I have had several luck pulls (epic) in the last 3 months, the borg pack doent have a chance for an unlock, so you can wait long there
sharp token
saying it's a scam though is stupid 
it doesn't claim to give a full unlock chance like the others
inner oasis
yeah, but its perfectly hidden, how many people opening borg chets like crazy know that fact?
sharp token
that's their own fault for not checking though
those same people in theory also wouldn't know it's possible to get a full unlock in any recruit pack
since it's just as "perfectly hidden"
inner oasis
so you're saying you have to double check anything before buying? reflects my trust level of scopley actually
If the ultra recruit pack has a chance for unlock I certainlky assume the borg ultra recruit pack has it too!? it costs the same and is even advertised as something special
sharp token
why would you assume such a thing when you can just click the little i and know that's not the case?
inner oasis
whats the reason for it to not have the chance then?
you are allready trading epic officer shards for uncocmon and rare borg shards
its just to make people waste ultra recruit tokens
sharp token
because that's the trade off, get borg shards, or a chance at full pull
inner oasis
ok next question, why can I buy avatars I allready have in faction score?
sharp token
i was able to unlock all the borg officers except the epic ones completely from the recruit packs
inner oasis
with no confirmation to spend 6k fac credits, which gives the chancce of misclick every day
sharp token
poor ui design?
inner oasis
designed to make you spand 1/3 of a officer pack for nothign
sharp token
maybe be more careful what you click?
inner oasis
if you buy stuff there every day and the chance is not 0%
you have to scroll thorugh the damn store
sharp token
i buy things in the faction stores every day, i've never bought anything accidentally, but i do agree with you, it's poor design and shouldn't be like that
inner oasis
but Im glad they have loyal customers that take any shit they pass on to them
you cant even make support undo the purchase
any particular answer you have for that too?
sharp token
that's all on scopely there their customer support policies are 💩
i wasn't saying i agree that borg recruit packs shouldn't have a chance of full unlock, but you were saying it's a scam, which is simply not true, the information is there, you just have to check it
inner oasis
then call it shady
sharp token
i wouldn't call it that either
at best it's slightly missleading
but again, the information is there, you just have to check it
inner oasis
the Pack is claimed as 2x chance
where is the 2x chance there?
a normal pack has 0% chance for borgs
so 2x0% is still 0
sharp token
then they are giving you more, what's the problem lol
inner oasis
misleading again
sharp token
not missleading though
inner oasis
ok where is the 2x chance?
sharp token
it can be as simple as each of the borg officers is in the "pool" twice
out of all the listed officers
inner oasis
do you know it is that way? bc there is no % specifided for epics/borgs
sharp token
no i don't know, and they should be more clear about what 2x chance means, but i don't believe it's missleading either as i've gotten tonnes of borg officers out of this pack
sharp token
but it also seems likely that's what they mean, because the original borg recruit pack didn't drop many, this one drops a lot more, but there is also more officers in this one
no it really isn't, it's much more efficient to use both, unless you're actually spending money on it
if you're not spending money to the ultra tokens, open as many as you can from the borg ultra recruits, and then get the remaining shards from event store, much more efficient
if you are spending money, then yeah, probably makes more sense just to buy the war funds
languid marlin
@sharp token Scopely is blessed to have such a devoted customer that is willing to defend them no matter what, even when it is in the "feedback" channel where they supposedly want player feedback...
sharp token
i'm not defending anything @languid marlin
languid marlin
Fooled me
sharp token
can't blame scopely for people making assumptions
incorrect assumptions, even though the information is easily available
languid marlin
Why would the assumptions be wrong? In other 2x chest pulls, it has been possible to get a full unlock of officers.
sharp token
lol...
ass u me
don't assume anything
why would they be wrong? because they are?
languid marlin
Well, then I dont have to assume anything about you. Any time we have talked, you defend scopely lock step
sharp token
i have never defended scopely
languid marlin
Every time
sharp token
wrong
this guy was claiming it's a scam, which is 100% not true, go look up the definition of the word scam, he was just making assumptions that are incorrect, that's not scopely's fault, it's his, lol, and that's not a defense of scopely, it's just the truth of it
languid marlin
Calling it a scam is incorrect. Players having to double check something because every other time it is something different than this time.... not on the level.
languid marlin
But more so, this a feedback channel. Let players provide feedback as they see it.
sharp token
do you think they even consider any feed back that calls stuff a scam?
when it's clearly not
that goes strait on the ignore pile
languid marlin
Perhaps they should. If the player community looks at it as such, maybe they should.
Marketing is often much more important than product offered. How information is presented can make and break deals.
river merlin
crazily surprised none of the people here have heard about their walking dead game. they havnt learned from that...
languid marlin
I have heard of it. Have not really played it though. Heard it was a trainwreck.
wild nebula
The problem with scopely is they are only interested in getting peoples money, period. That points to greed, not a scam. Look at the disaster of the Epic Reward Tokens. They offered loads of mats and unc in the premium reward pack, to get players money, but when it comes to rewarding loyalty, they shaft us. Again, I go back to something I have said before, I think they have planned this megacube rubbish, with a deliberate attempt at trying to convert the premium reward pack customers in to buying larger packs. Players saw right through the "money grab", and their feelings are very well expressed in channels like this. Given they have not even attempted to deal with issue demonstrates a cultural issue within company.
quiet path
This arc has dissatisfied so many scoply could have saved it by all the tokens that have been saved up could be coverted but instead they are just going to clean house, what a huge disaster on their part.

Use your regular ships, they are not hard to defeat
boreal canyon
@languid marlin I tried to give feedback on here too, he shut me down as well.
sharp token
noone "shut you down" @boreal canyon i just gave you a way to fix the situation you are in with your rep
because i think if you are waiting for scopely to fix it, you'll be waiting a very long time
scopely's history with new features is that they release them, and instead of addressing issues with them in a reasonable amount of time, they let it sit untouched for a very long time, so i don't really expect to ever see that rep/g4 thing ever fixed
winged axle
What is the issue?
sharp token
just that he raised his rep with rom and fed to celebrated, and is not able to access g4
and therefor cannot complete the mining dailies
sharp token
that's what i tried to tell him, but apparantly that means i shut him down?
vocal eagle
Do we know what we are supposed to do with all the Borg Points, Epic Borg Points, and March Borg Points when this event is over? Will we be able to trade them in for something?
pure tusk
War effort points really? I'm sure some ppl paid u for them in the packs and then say there not exchangeable?
boreal canyon
Never said it was a bug @winged axle just said I wasn't a fan of it changing so drastically for something that was relatively easy to do. Again I was giving feedback in the feedback section.
winged axle
Not against you providing feedback but why?
boreal canyon
Why what?
winged axle
Changing lvl limit for 4g?
You cant mine it because you are too low lvl right?
And you grinded too much rep
kindred isle
my 2 cents worth from a guy who plays 12hrs + a day,every day.theses borg armadas are a letdown at best.expensive to run and next to no rewards for beating them.you could have done a much better job.hopefully you re-work them so they are enjoyable and not a grind
boreal canyon
I just thought it was a substantial jump. I just do my dailies I didn't grind hardcore at all
And I'm dual so it's half speed.
The hostiles I'm required to hit are easy enough to find
winged axle
Think it like premium pass maybe for now? Only people who has privilege can go there and mine 4g.Rest of us just need to keep our rep below 30m
All of those 4g content right now is whale only except maybe ISS? Sure it can change in the future but I doubt it as long as they earn $$
boreal canyon
I agree and that's what I was giving feedback in reference too. That's ok isn't it
winged axle
I would want them to change game economy instead of changing lvl limit for 4g first
Fix the issue from root
kindred isle
@boreal canyon its super easy to get your rep back below 30m...i do it every day until the cost of g4 miners goes down..using relos to go mine in dark space isnt possible anymore due to low drop rates of relos since update
boreal canyon
Well I guess I have to work double hard and hit 2 separate factions to get it in line
I enjoyed just hitting klingon
winged axle
Till you reach lvl38 and have a good miner yeah.But as 3g become cheaper when they released 4g,costs for 4g stuff will get cheaper eventually as well(but doubt anytime soon)
ionic briar
Since Fractured empire will be starting soon, can we expect that the leader board will consist of only same level players instead of all high level as well as low level players?
vagrant topaz
Of course we can't expect that, how else could scopely incentivise rapid progression? Reasonably priced packs? Rewards that reflect effort? Engaging gameplay?...don't be daft! Just make lvl27 players compete with 39's it'll be fine...
lethal mountain
This is my first time posting to this channel which will hopefully be a sign of just how bad I think this Borg Armada event has been. The first couple borg events were great; good rewards, lots of quests, engaging action. The last few have been a total let down, and this Borg armada stuff is the culmination of epic failure. It is completely useless and a waste of time. The one positive is that it doesn’t take long to complete dailies. But with no other simultaneous events, that just means I quit playing this game and have started playing other things. The packs are a joke, the event store is 95% ridiculous, the quests are too short, and I now have thousands of tokens sitting in my inventory that will clearly never be used. Borg Points, Epic Borg Points, Epic Borg Reward Tokens, March Borg Points, and now Borg War Fund and Borg War Effort Points. It’s clear developers are just throwing crap at the wall with no real picture of the future in mind, while only occasionally trying to fix things.
sleek sable
Borg cube portion of latest Borg event is an.epic fail..do close to doing a 7 day shield. 6 days so far so in a few hours it better be done
languid marlin
Have 3 more days of this it looks like
ionic briar
Can we seriously get confirmation about the fractured empire event? Confirmation that for once they acknowledge we want level based leaderboard and not one big leaderboard with everyone...
The last time we had a swarm event it was a leaderboard where a lv 34 was competing with a lv 29! and though they changed it in the following day's event, we get no compensation for not being able to compete
And moreover all the Bps were taken off from the rewards and only the top few got some trit
Can we please have leaderboard where players compete only with same ops level players and also get some rewards like bps of highest constructable ship of the player's shipyard, or epic officer shards that are actually valuable?
vagrant topaz
They changed the swarm lb's on the fly so maybe the lack of bp's/shards was a result of the rush to appease the angry mob...we'll see next week but I wouldn't hold your breath
drifting temple
Borg even is good , our players is enjoying it tnx
minor grove
Does anybody read the newsfeed when it pops up..
Not all of the borg currency will be completely useless.
I do, however, think that they should have had killing borg probes as an alternative to the borgmadas. Very few alliances throughout the servers can actually kill a megacube. And of those, i only know for a fact of one alliance that can one shot them. If not for being in an alliance with skacoren, i myself wouldnt even attempt them. Idk what scopely was thinking with this event. With regular armada events u can kill hostiles to earn points..... so why not allow us to kill borg probes for points as well... it would keep it sorta fair, allow smaller players/alliances to be able to actually compete and keep in line with the borg theme.
night steppe
that dont make them $ then
minor grove
Yes it does, maybe not as much but if u think ppl dont spend money on every event ur fooling urself.
wet vale
I think it's weird to encourage all your player base not to participate in the event by telling them if they don't spend directives & salvage they'll be able to trade them in directly for war funds after the event ends..
minor grove
By participating u have the possibility of earning alot more war funds to use in event store now or later, if u choose to wait.
wet vale
That's speculation. You can't know till you see the conversion rate from each currency into war funds.
minor grove
True but knowing how things usually work in the game, the conversion rate wont be spectacular.
wet vale
I don't know whether to bet on scopely being stingy or making a poorly thought decision with unforeseen consequences...
minor grove
I bet on both lol
wet vale
Certainly, there's no incentive to spend mega warp cells now if you can't get high on solo leaderboard
minor grove
Either way, we are still gonna be stuck with all the borg points from the first 3 arcs. I did take notice that they arent listed on the currency exchange list to covert to useful currency.
I disagree.. even if u know u cant win, and most are in that situation, start it and simply dont join or take the quick way home. The leader earns 5000 points for simply starting a megacube armada.
wet vale
yes, but by starting and not joining you still get to keep your warp cells to trade in later
minor grove
Just because u may not score high on the leaderboards doesnt mean u cant earn urself some war funds.
wet vale
but anyway i've got our alliance to spend all the megacube directives they had on 2nd leaderboard, no directives for 3rd means no reason to spend warp cells
minor grove
True enuf.. unless u spend money u only get enuf directives to start 2 megacubes, IF ur alliance completes the milestone event. So ur mega transwarp cells can still be saved to turn in for war funds, thats exactly what i plan to do with whatever i have left. I blow right up everytime we do one.. but we win cuz we have ska, for me its worth to use them. The case is not the same for most and i totally get that. U just do what is best for u and thats all u can do.
little plover
The Borg event has been one MASSIVE fail for bordom. An EPIC PAINFUL waist of alliance time...1/2 the alliance of 70 did have or try to get the vi'dar... And of 40 who had the vi'dar didn't even bother getting out of bed the event was so effing boring. Of around 20 who did try they just got sick of crap rewards (yet again) MASSIVE MIDDLE FINGER SCOPELY
woeful narwhal
Maybe we should make up our own events! Chase the realta with klaa as captain with full synergy
hearty stag
Did we need so many days of these?? Eurrrrgh
lethal mountain
Seriously! A two week long event was either colossal stupidity or laziness. Even Faction Hunt for two weeks would get monotonous, and that is an event that is actually worth completing.
inner oasis
3 more days of mega cube!?!?!? Ok I'm sure now nobody from Scopley actually reads events feedback
This is the worst event I can remember and it's dragged out like that
tall hearth
@inner oasis they just see that there are a lot of people who don't care how bad an event is that they keep putting money in
inner oasis
I know, whales in my alliance are still buying the cube attack pack. I am struggling to see any reward coming for it
I can only do my part, they are not getting a penny from me

I've been doing Borg stuff since Jan mate, I'm long overdue for a change
kindred aurora
I'm not against the change from officer XP spending events to recruit token spending events.
The problem is not knowing if all XP events are done for good.
The domination events during and prior to the Borg arc made hoarding XP virtually essential for a f2p player. If that's no longer a thing, I'd be happy to spend it with freedom but since no one will tell us if Domination and do events are gone for good I'm left hoarding everything!
toxic wraith
Mirror mirror and business as usual next extra packs bought with Borg war points... Guess a lot missed that in Borg cube extra faq cos they were bored.

Only 3 more days of cubes
@old quarry only? This bullshit has been going on way to long. Got uninteresting after 2 days
old quarry
We've been doing Borg stuff since Jan. 3 more days isn't gonna hurt anyone.
tall hearth
@old quarry you're right, but at least the rest of the borg content was nice compared to this
old quarry
Yeah, I agree it's gone on too long
I've got no interest in the event, just want my points and war funds, and for it to be over
tall hearth
me to
Speaking of points, how many points do you think they will give us when changing the directives and the rest for points?
old quarry
No idea tbh. I would expect mega cube directives to earn more than epic borg armadas, which earn more than rare, which earn more than uncommon. But actual amounts I've no clue.
tall hearth
I know, for my part I doubt that among everything I have I will reach 100k
old quarry
Every little helps™️

So, why allow for one alliance to win all three mags cube frames?

This Borg event is terrible
tame flicker
It would have been good if the borg event gave charged nanoprobes either as event rewards or available in the event store - considering the Vid is the main ship for the event
And the ALB rewards are meh a frame woopie 10 borg funds for all that effort - 1000k would have been mega
15 - 20 hits per cube to get 5k per launch and 5k for the kill mmm - how much rss would that cost the team - who does the math's for these events?

Can we get any details about which servers will merge with which? because we have friends who just started playing but cannot jump to our servers because it is full or unavailable. Can details regarding the server merges be shared so our friends can jump to the servers that will be merged with us.
minor iron
Love all the events. Please consider making events available to all ops lvls. And achievable goals for them. Myself I'm ops 22 and cannot participate in some borg events as such I'm missing out on rewards/prizes.
Also daily events are much fewer and harder to score in as you advance in ops lvl.
Finally the way pvp base attacks are it makes it near impossible for the lower and mid range Ops players to get any resources for continued upgrades. Consider adjusting the current unlimited attacks after a 10 minute shield. That's absolutely stupid. Or have base resource production increased. Its absolutely ridiculous. Or increase protection of resources. Something needs to be done.
blissful zealot
Missing Mega Borg Cube directives
We seem to be missing Mega Borg Cube Directives. First leg of the event, gave one or so attack. On second, and third, event no longer provides directives.
Since the mega cube doesn't actually drop loot, it makes no sense to with hold them.
forest orchid
This daily borg armada is getting old. And the ridiculous amount of attacks to kill a Megacube is also terrible.
earnest dew
What do we do with the premium borg tokens I never actually received two of any of them I have a lot of single premium tokens that can’t be used for anything.

What a boring event everyday the same. At least put some effort in the future.
mild glacier
Kinda late for this but I hadn't looked at the whole event store. 5 of 10 and 10 of 10 cost 7.5 times more than the other borg officers. Please fix this so that all officers are of equal cost and refund the war funds spent in this overpricing error.
radiant kraken

@mild glacier 10 of 10 is likely the single best officer out there over time. unless they nerf it after awhile. What will really burn you is when you are 1 shard from getting it but after 5 tries it doesn't happen... seems odd yes?
empty lantern
I been completing tasks but havent been recieving alliance rewards
mild glacier
@radiant kraken I'm aware of that, but mining is boring for the most part. drop off the ship and come back to it in an hour or so. Mining more faster doesn't really help you any after a certain point as you are limited by the refinery. So 10/10 for many people is only really game changing during the mining events, and now that so many people have him it's not so much a game changer anymore, more like a necessity to be competitive.
In terms of useful gameplay he's no more influential than the other borg officers unless you completely ignore probe hunting for daily refines. Same deal With Borg Jaylah, she's been underwhelming for the most part. Having those 2 officers cost so many times more than any others is so much cheese.
I realize this is all futile as Scopely is well known for rigging the market and screwing players, but it can't hurt to try.

@mild glacier all excellent points. Seemed to me that pure mining speed increase of 80% for everything and stackable extra 50% for dilithium, Tri and Steel seems to reduce the duration your ships are out, freeing up missioning and pvp ships. Also reduces zero node losses. But I don’t have one. Yet.

What will happen to unused borg war funds? I am raising my rom reputation to 10m so i can acess augur bp but i wont make it on time. If i dont use the funds will i lose them?

kill a borg for 5k reward = 1 shard for 5/10 seriously after all the time/hits they take to kill nothing Epic about the rewards - just the Epic amount of $$$opley was hoping to make 😋

@vagrant topaz yes i do all that. Rom credits are short. Only 90k. But with rom locked i can swap my borg war fund for augur bp and give a big boost

Last part of this event was bad and got boring real quick.

Mega cube should have a mega armada... able to add any player willing to join with no max. Would be great to see a server come together to kill the mega cube with 100 ships fighting same target. @prime gulch
inner oasis
So we got enough dicetives to start 2 MC but the events last how long 9 days or was it 12? Can't remember anything this bad
vagrant topaz
Lol no tokens in domination...well done making a 💩 event somehow even 💩 ier
wild nebula
Well done scopely. Domination event rewarding trit is most welcome. Doesn't make up for this arc being a dogs dinner, but at least you appear to have listened to players asking for trit. Recognition must be given for listening to players.
vagrant topaz
They swapped the trit tokens for raw raidable trit though so...yeah thanks for nothing as usual scop€ly
river merlin
They didnt swap anything they removed tokens you got like 11 mil on the final tier before + raw
crimson edge
Dumbest event this company has ever come up with....... nothing for the f2p people. Find another game to play.
lusty tendon
We didnt have event that gives rss for so long. i was happy. finally we can undate something without using tokens
crimson edge
Lots of rss to be had if your alliance was willing to spend 2k per day killing borg mega cubes..... we put and end to that smartly. Dear Scopely...... come on already.
sharp token
@crimson edge there is no more rss to be had from the mega cubes if you spend 2k or 0
makes no difference
killing a mega cube gives you nothing
crimson edge
The packs we are forced to buy come with a stack of RSS.... completely useless since the USS Kelvin is 208m tritanium to repair......
crimson edge
Killing a mega cube is not even possible without buying packs by 6 people.
sharp token
who cares? as i said, you gain nothing from killing a mega cube
crimson edge
Sure you do. Avatars if you kill enough. LoL.
And silly frames to go with them.....
sharp token
it's a crap event for sure, but claiming you have to pay to participate is just not true 
crimson edge
Never said you had to pay. Said they are forcing people to pay if you want to partake in their dumbest event yet.
We have lots of f2p players in our alliance. Biggest let down to date..... seen lots of them quite already.
river merlin
How isnt mega cubes pay to participate lmao
i dont see any methods to earn those start mega cube tokens after youve used them all
sharp token
that would be, pay to participate more, not pay to participate
boreal canyon
Pay to complete would be most accurate.
sharp token
i don't know about that, a well organized alliance who put in the work to level their vidar's could have killed multiple mega cubes, completely free to play
boreal canyon
I mean complete your milestones
sharp token
complete the milestones? really? that's not at all true
paying would not help you in the slightest
unless you're talking about solo milestones?
boreal canyon
Yes solo. 60k points
sharp token
this whole entire event was based on alliances, not the solo player
boreal canyon
The solo milestone is pay to complete wouldn't you agree yes or no
sharp token
even paying players couldn't really realistically complete all the milestones
unless they were paying stupid amounts lol
boreal canyon
Well yeah whales gonna whale
sharp token
yes it was, which is dumb, i don't really even see the point of having that event
boreal canyon
As an alliance we have taken down mega targets and completed the alliance war points thing, not too hard for sure
But the solo is just cray
sharp token
the solo also was never meant to be completed, by anyone really
which is why only the first 2 milestones gave alliance related rewards
boreal canyon
I know one for sure on my server has, he has a Kelvin and all that so...yeah
sharp token
which was my point about the entire thing being alliance focused
river merlin
Um
A full team of maxed vidars cant even do 15% damage to mega cubes
Dunno where you got that info
Must be 100,000 lightyears stats cubed logic

i don't know about that, a well organized alliance who put in the work to level their vidar's could have killed multiple mega cubes, completely free to play
No
river merlin
By the time they get back the shield replenish and you only got 2 free chances at each part of the cube
sharp token
are you going solo or what?
river merlin
Full team was 6 people majority of alliances only hold 5
Because 6 player teams is 40+
So no majority of players could not take down a mega cube part even doing all their free shots
sharp token
even with 5 player teams, you could still have killed multiple with 100+ attempts worth of directives

Lmao
You are joking right?
What alliance has 50 players that have maxed vidars

i don't know about that, a well organized alliance who put in the work to level their vidar's could have killed multiple mega cubes, completely free to play
@sharp token Sorry but you’re very wrong. We have more than a dozen maxed out vdars.. maxed out officers, 8M jelly, 7.5m Kelvin..... you cannot kill one in a single hit. Impossible with even 6 people. My vdar is 1.3m and everyone else is 1.1m.
Clearly that guy never went and tried. LoL.
Try 6 attempts from a 400m power alliance. Finally could take down part of a mega cube.... so unless your playing a different game than us you should go check it out yourself. Don’t forget to buy packs. Cause you HAVE to......

i never said anything about killing them in one hit 🙄

Anyone know if there will be a "Race to Operations XX" event anytime soon?
Is there some kind of calendar online that we can check for upcoming events?
Would really like to get credit for tiering up ships and levelling up my operations center. I always seem to just miss it.

Not sure but the next announcement is survey on how the mega borg may event was that comes out tomorrow.
vagrant topaz
Yeah, for some reason those were silently nerfed
@south moat no calendar available, sorry. And no, we have no info about any upcoming Race to ops event.
I just got to 36... If they start it now, I will be livid...
@heady basin don't be ridiculous, it's just gonna be an apology for making us endure this 🤣

@vagrant topaz For the Fractured Empire Event, do you think they would again make the level brackets too big for leaderboard? even though in the past people have complained about dozens of events when they match a lv 29 with a lv 34...
Do you think finally they would have learned and actually a lesson
vagrant topaz
I doubt it
stone tiger
Is this the worst dom event ever or what
The rewards are lower than a third of other events
vagrant topaz
Why do you people keep saying "Is this the worst..." are you challenging Scopely to make it worse?
😂
stone tiger
Do you think that'd be possible? They have events that reward 100k parsteel total lol
The only reason anyone participates is that our server hasn't had XP spending events since Borg

Hey Guys. I'm on APAC 188, pretty new server and I wanted to share my frustration with one giant aspect that has already been a failure. Over the course of this event I went from lvl 20-25, grinded my butt off, spent some coin here and there for me and my alliance, and used just about every speed up I had. Ya know what? I had fun doing it too. I finally made it to the Mega Cube tonight though and was going to buy two borgmadas for my alliance. We had a real chance to win the mega cube event from the best clan MAQS. Kudos to you guys!
However, I discovered that I didn't have any of the MC directives needed to participate because I wasn't 25 before the monthly event finished. How dumb is that? To get all the way and put in crazy hours, only to find out you can't even fight the boss. It's gaming 101. It's the final test and yeah I probably would have died but I won't get that chance. It's not a reward, it was a participation tool. What was the harm of giving it to a lower level at the time.
Anyhow, just my thoughts here and I hope they find their way into a community managers hands or something but seriously, the boss is the capstone of any game and this really bummed me out. Scopely and divs, etc. I appreciate all you do. It's been a great distraction during this time of quarantine but please don't let mistakes like this happen in the future. Hire me, heck I'll work for free, I just want to make this game better for everyone.
stone tiger
@vagrant topaz I don't follow your outrage, what's up
vagrant topaz
@stone tiger mate when you say they can't make it worse, it's like taunting a bull. They can... Just don't ask for it... For the love of god stop 😂😂😂😂
Everyone hated Domination... Everyone thought it can't get any worse... Now it is nerfed...
So apparently we were wrong...
🤣
stone tiger
yeah but if you keep poking the bull's eyes it goes blind and we can rob the scopely vault 😱 there should be a big scopely vault with all the rewards they've nerfed that can be taken in an interserver effort… Let's call it the Borg Hub 😋
vagrant topaz
🤔
I still wouldn't poke at it... 🤣 🤣 🤣
And to be honest, I just want it to end and be done with it...

Now that the second Borg arch is coming to an end I would like to give you some feedback. The first Borg events was entertaining, thrilling and engaging. The missions were exciting and the day to day rewards were very good, only flaw was the epic chest in the end but lets forget that. In many ways it could be an example of "how to" get players involved. The second arch (that ends today) is the complete oposite and I have never wanting anything end as much as I do this event arch. Boring, lousy rewards, fractured mission chains and last but not least the laughable Borg enemies. Regular borg cubes 38m strong and made of wet paper the last cube so insanly strong it is laughable. Inert nanoprobes (and not much of them even at rare of Epic)!? May this never come again...I beg of you, if there is a pack in store "be spared the second Borg event" I think I will use the credit card. Cheers
forest orchid
Can you guys fix the event store going all the way back out to the events page after every exchange? and while you're at it, add 5 and 10 exchanges for the blueprints? nobody's just gonna be exchanging ONE BP.....that would really speed things up

Why are we getting so few borg war funds for our spare borg armada stuff?
hollow cave
So this was the announcement about Borg missions (in French).
It says here missions will be free. I'm pretty sure it said the same in English.
So how can we access these missions when we had already converted most of our tokens?
stable ivy
Well, thats a complete joke. 16k war funds to get the mirror mirror mission play. Considering the price is NOT advertised ON the store and we could not look at the cost before the tile went live, you just completey made things worse. Also if we have NEVER done this mission before where is our free round?
toxic wraith
It was advertised cost in the the Borg cube q and a news way b4
Well 4 days b4 at 4k warpoints per day so 16k war points.. And cost was 16k
But what I want to know is mirror mirror and business as usual event gonna start tomorrow. I. E free run, b4 spending paid runs
languid marlin
16k to get 20 rare officer shards seems about on par for the other officer shards in the event store. Not too broken up about that one...
toxic wraith
Sine original was 7 day event mirror mirror... And first run was free to all anyway.. So if buy pack and it comes tomorrow do I lose the free run
stone tiger
Thanks for adding the missed mission chains to the faction store. 👏 Literally what I've been asking for the past month
I would've liked to know that not wasting mega directives in the whale arc would've been far more profitable however. Not playing the game would give me more war funds, which I desperately need. Sadly, I played the game... That's not been handled well at all. I don't have mega dirs left to trade in.
winged axle
@stone tiger nah would be same. 10 Mega directives gave 5k points in solo event which was equal to 7.5k war funds which is also same value in event store
stone tiger
Don't count the first two rewards of the daily borg event, you'd get that with the 5 uncommon borgmada's @winged axle
winged axle
Yes and no.If you spend 10 mega directives then you wouldnt spend 5 unc 🤷♂️
stone tiger
If you knew of this convertor beforehand you wouldn't waste your mega directives and you'd use 5 unc
That was my point: the rewards are greater for not using the whale event stuff, not wasting warps for it etc.
vagrant topaz
Worthless event on my part my war effort points nvr counted cant trade in store and because im almost lvl 23 missed the whole cube part and every event daily below lvl 25 was either use rss or kill enough reds you constantly having to repair to even be in the top 20 of any solo LB you needed to spend $ TOTAL RIPOFF IN MY OPINION
hollow cave
Anyway: when you announce something to be free, to put a price on it, even in games token, isn't cool.

Yeah cant do the mission because all my birgfunds are gone 🤣

There is no point to the missions if you already have the officers all you gain from the Mirror Mirror mission is more officer shards it would be nice if you obtained jellyfish blueprints or the dark jellyfish blueprints then it would be worth competing for
fervent plinth
It's all become a little confusing since all the new events came about today. I was buying bps for the vi'dar from the event store so i could build it as soon as i upgrade next to level 25. I now have 80/100 bps but i can't get any more unless i trade in warp tokens i also can't get. If I'm not supposed to have the bps yet, why make them available.
Parsteel is needed in the millions for upgrades at my level but it is hard to come by in these quantities and by my level players are clever enough to keep shields up so they're not raided.
That doesn't sound like constructive critism but I'm just putting it out there some of the problems there are. I have spent money on my game but every time i think I'm getting somewhere i get stuck, the game changes or things I'm collecting become even harder to get. I understand the game was designed to make you money but I'm actually thinking there's no point in throwing more money at it. If you're going to add new events i think there should maybe be one that still awards the previous rewards, just one, so people know gaining those rewards is coming to an end instead of just stopping them....
tardy lagoon
Mmm hmmm. The ‘majority’ of the debris of a borg cube 100,000 light years (cubed) is in this system.
Seriously need to stop hiring dudes off fiverr to come up with this content. Its extremely embarassing. Im embarassed for you scopely.
tame flicker
why not just have one place where you click to convert any leftovers instead of scrolling though? and the rewards are not worth converting so I will just keep mine
@fervent plinth same for everyone you get to point where you can do all your dailies everything is sweet then you go to the next ops and boom slow and boring again - not able complete dailies, need sooo much rss - so you can go slow or $$$ buy some packs which is what they want you to do and the more you spend the more expensive the packs lol $$$$copley

I still laugh at the “100,000 cubic light years” size of the Mega Cube. I know they were trying to make it inconceivably huge, but come on. That’s literally impossible. That’s like 40 times the size of our solar system, it’d be so gravitationally massive it’d suck in half the quadrant and our ships wouldn’t be able to get anywhere near it.
royal rapids
Ha, I understand the cube is not completely solid but imagine how much material would be required to build a cube that size.

ember fulcrum
I missed the survey because my game crashed right when I said yes
This event was not nearly as good as the last set of borg events. The alliance dependency skewed the event away from smaller alliances to only favor the massive fee super alliances on my server.
My alliance which was ranked 32 on the server in the borg armadas alliance event, never got the mega cube directives to attack the mega cube. We were two milestones away by the end and every member of my alliance that could participate did.
The last 2 borg events where you had good solo milestones along with the 20$ pack for the bigger rewards were great. Do that more. Do this less.
Thanks
VinzClorthoKoG server 17
ruby ivy
@ember fulcrum rank 32 that does seem a long way down, is your alliance really that inactive? Merge or move alliances, it is not really that complicated.

Bring back the old rewards that we originally had for fractured empire
We need actual events that give out uncommons, especially with increased costs in the game, it's ridiculous I used to get 90 uc from this event, now it's around 20 uc

You missed to scale the separatists to the new ship powers.

<@&509690795536941056> <@&509691205798592532> I just wanted to say finally, thank you for listening and making the Fractured Empire event leaderboard good enough that we can compete, unlike past times where we had to compete with players too big for us. Thank you for listening to our feedback
pliant bloom
Well I think this event needs a rethink... higher level bosses or something. We have lvl 45 and lvl 30 all fighting for the same lvl 26 bosses and as @jagged mango said, its just fighting for spawns. We need level 31 separatist bosses or something like that... something for the Epic g3 and g4 ships to chew on... the lvl 26 are like paper planes to them. Even people with a decent lvl 28 ship and pike crew can down more than 100 in one run.
sharp token
@viscid phoenix when you can kill hundreds of bosses (even thousands with some ships) before repairing, when using pike crew, that's not really a concern
stable ivy
For players who have never seen the Mirror Mirror Missions before, the "have to buy" to even experience 1 playthough ever is a massive slap in the face.

i have a 750k centurion and make, with the kadett crew on it, 3 bosses. it's really sucks

Any idea of best crew for sally against boss battleships? Using pike, Moreau and Chen but only getting 5/6 with 1050k strength ship. Fellow alliance member with very marginally bigger bortas getting 20 with same crew. Is Chen wrong?

At least at low levels, event is not giving advertised points. 1 point being given for L17 elitist instead of 5.
Also, IMO, alliance LB shoukd have 11-25 prize of some sort.
quiet furnace
Ever since the backlash over the dire borg saga, its like the events have been twisted to either make them mega lame, or increase the milestones and cut the rewards to a fraction. Almost like scopely is basically saying FU to the players
shy grotto
☝️that's true.
the benefits from the events are lesser than ever.
river merlin
They did the same thing after armada release how are you suprised
chrome dust
Guys needed to bump up the spawns by like 100%
open otter
Spawns in the separatist systems are fast enough, it's the systems that need to be increased
wet vale
Looks to me like there's loads of leaderboards for the spenders or those that can play 24/7, and everyone else is given some easy to complete solo event then sent off to play something else. Takes me a few hours to do dailies, most of which is mining, and then 5 minutes to do this event. That's really the wrong way round.
chrome dust
Spawns are not good on my server for this event every spot has 4-5 ships bosses are being killed soon as they enter the system
pliant bloom
All the spawn nodes in all 3 boss systems look like this
vagrant topaz
When we now, after a very long time have the "fractured empire" event it would be a good idea to fix so you can buy BP:s for hi jacked ships in augment faction store as it says in the ships description?
vagrant topaz
With ship balancing and servers maturing (increasing population of 28-34 lvl players) fractured empire needs a fourth system added to each faction with legendary bosses of some sort, higher difficulty offering higher scores and unique pve drops (useful bp's, uc's, rares, directives etc). Currently there's 9 seperatist systems and only one of those is optimal for lb chasing (pareleon), the traffic jams there are beyond ridiculous even on a relatively low activity server like mine.
Also triple the solo milestone requirements and (at least) double the rewards....also also, what the hell happened to all the rss tokens we used to get?
ornate grail
Hello dont bother anymore spearists, our server 140 people have 1,2M vessels and highers already and this is just contest on birth nodes who gets fasted klicked on birthing sperarists boss. Either boost separists strenght or scrap this event.
sleek scroll
The event is now a negative sum gain. To qualify for any event payout, you have to burn at least 3 times the amount of res you'll win from the event. Makes no sense at all.
How can people involved in writing computer code be so deeply challenged by applied mathematics?
tame flicker
Fractured Empire should be for different tiers - or renamed to big ships fractured event - only players with huge ships need to compete the rewards are great but no good for low/mid players
Also pointless if(userBorgFunds < chestCost, display=0, display=1)

I'd like to be able to convert those Borg premium reward tokens. I worked hard to get them but couldn't use them because two were required, but we only received one unless the pack was purchased.
vagrant topaz
Premium...as in paid content
frosty belfry
You worked hard for rewards in the milestones..
vagrant topaz
👆
faint torrent
You got those premium tokens too.
vagrant topaz
Hard work = milestone rewards...hard work + $'s = premium rewards
faint torrent
Lol
frosty belfry
Got heaps of resources, materials and whatnot from the main and supplementary events, but we obviously did it for tokens that we were told that we couldn't use without buying a pack. Makes sense..
faint torrent
Yes. I would have willingly bought the packs, if I could have afforded them.
vagrant topaz
They were clearly stated as pay only rewards....you get what you pay for...you payed nothing soooo...
faint torrent
Lolololololololol
frosty belfry
Conversely, those who paid for the rewards should miss out on rewards so that you can get rid of the tokens? If I was Scopely I'd give you.. 100 war funds for the lot 😂
vagrant topaz
You'd be fired by scopely for that generosity
faint torrent
Lol truth.
frosty belfry
100 it's clearly trolling, I'd get medals 😁

The f2p rewards for arcs 1-3 were excellent tbh, I don't begrudge those that paid 20-60$ extra their premium stuff

Good Lord. Okay Mr whale.

frosty belfry
The premium rewards packs were relatively cheap, like dinner at fast food for me 😂

Doesn't mean everyone could afford it. The free rewards were great. But "screw you if you couldn't afford it"? Really?
vagrant topaz
Even I picked up the premium packs...20$ a month for decent rewards was actually a good deal for once
frosty belfry
If you can't afford the additional rewards that were provided at a price? There was plenty of free rewards throughout the event, and buying packs still always give people an advantage. You might as well campaign to remove the store from the game altogether..
faint torrent
I mean really, there was this whole pandemic thing that caused finanystrain on millions. But that's okay. As long as Scopely got their cash, right? I guess that means that people who paid for ships should be the only ones who get them too? Yeah? Riiiiiight.
vagrant topaz
I didn't say screw you, scopely did by framing the rewards in that way...no need to be defensive we all play and pay at the rate we can manage
faint torrent
Sure you are!
vagrant topaz
That said if you don't pay why should you get the same as those that did?
frosty belfry
You can get ships for free too 🙄 and Scopely is a business, designed to make money, that's what they do.. you don't have to spend, some people want to and that's their choice.
faint torrent
Just vecy it was only $20, doesn't mean it wasn't affordable. Doesn't mean it would be nice to have them converted for use.
DUDE, That " if you don't pay why should you get the same as those that did?" Logic is so bogus. That's what they do with ships!
frosty belfry
Except that they weren't there for F2P players, they were there for people that bought the pack to make sure that they completed the event to benefit from the rewards.. and if you F2P get something for the tokens, then those that paid should get it too or they'll be short changed instead 🙄
faint torrent
Yeah. If the pack came out again, fine by me! The P2P can get more!
frosty belfry
That's the business model. Scopely don't do it for the love of star trek, they do it for money. Like every for profit business ever.

iron violet
Fractured Empire event is too long and tedious. This really should be a 1 day event.
winged axle
@stone tiger Hmm.I will ask from other mods about that. But to answer your question no it isnt hidden because Panic said that,they will be added to normal recruit chests (soon)
stone tiger
Thanks
LOL I just noticed it's a 3-day event! Completely agree @iron violet
If you don't have Pike or very strong ships you're not likely to waste your time on this event
stone tiger
The solo yes
winged axle
Leaderboards always take lots of time/killing if you want to rank
stone tiger
I meant ALB or solo lb
winged axle
That is just nature of this game,cant change that. Spend more time-> get more rewards
stone tiger
Just the solo, I mean, I simply don't have Pike or Nero so I simply don't have a correct crew lol yet
winged axle
You can use Arix to trigger burning that should help you finish solo
stone tiger
And without the right crews I'm not putting any extra energy in the ALB, I would if I could, but I can't
winged axle
For leaderboard Pike is a must
stone tiger
Yeah that's what I did after I got tired of grinding level 22
thorny perch
We thought mining Event is boring. Then Scopely put out mega cube. More boring. Then THIS Event with THIS Bad rewards. Much more boring. What could be next. Wake me up when it's finished
chrome dust
No idea what’s bad about it kill a couple bosses solo event is done. Time vs reward seems pretty high to me
thorny perch
Solo is easy. 4 kills. Finished. There Was an separatiste event with bat'leth Token and so on....
winged axle
That was AoW(Act of War). Different event
languid marlin
This is not a bad event. Especially for the time required to finish solo. The worst part about it is that we, as the players, have out leveled/powered the content, so too many strong players sit in the 3 boss zones taking most of the kills. Aside from that, 👍
languid zinc
In the Time from 2-5 am it was alright on our sever
stone tiger
@winged axle So actually... What Panic said was that "the officers will soon be added to chests as well". He didn't say 'normal chests', just unspecified chests. A few mins after I left after our chat I realized they're obviously already in chests outside the event store: the borg recruit special. And it took a little while for this chest to be offered the first time around. 🤔
frosty belfry
I think it's open to some interpretation, though my question that Panic answered was not about special officer chests and so I'm hopeful that it's not a Scopely switcheroo.
stone tiger
When's the last time they added officers to any of these chests? Augments aren't there, neither are the exclusive officers that are obtainable nowhere... Guess we'll see
Ended up spending most of my war funds on other things since Scopely is unreliable and vague
frosty belfry
Augment officers are obtainable through the augment faction store and Khan is also available with transporter patterns, so I'm not sure what the issue there is? Give me a borg faction store with faction reputation, faction credits and Borg officers; certainly wouldn't be upset there just because they're not in the other chests.
stone tiger
The point is officers don't get added to the regular chests
but I agree, Panic also kind of played at Borg eventually becoming a faction, but before that's an actual thing I think it's more interesting to see what happens in the next Augment update, as that might indicate what kind of 'faction' Borg can become as well
frosty belfry
Just because they didn't add augment doesn't mean that they won't add anything at any future point..
And in the issue of whether there will be means to obtain the officers F2P later I'm not sure that it matters if they're added to their own specific chest or to the regular chests: just that they're added 🤷♂️ and I'm hopeful based on panic's reply that they are slated to be added somewhere (though Panic is not the most reliable source of information).

Can we bring back the event store that also went with fractured empire? That's half the reason we wanted it!

I will be so glad when this event is over. I will always be in competition mode. I kill 4000 boss-ships in 3 days. I think that hard-working events are better than pay to win events. But when they come so rarely, then everyone jumps on them. They have to come more often, then you can say: "Not this one, I'll do the next"

I have to skip most lb's like these as I suffer from stress induced migraines which can also be triggered by excessive screen time. Any lb requiring near non-stop activity is demonstrably damaging to player's health and wellbeing and it's about time scopely pivoted away from them.

A very good point!! Its nice to have a different event type though especially one not relying on Armadas, Help Requests or Mining. I finished my solo in less than 10 minutes, which payout wise (~9m Trit at my ops level) is decent for killing a couple of ships. The ranked event, I will abstain on as its just not worth the grind trying to compete.

For a combined total of about 90 seconds work over 3 days, the solo rewards are pretty good in this event really.

@viscid phoenix I think the problem is the way they have leaderboards.... if it was such that only same level ops players competed.
Morreover the rewards for leaderboard are not worth as much as the trit and dil spent on repairs... let alone speed ups

I was only referring to the solo event. Didn’t even bother with the leaderboards. Better things to do than spend countless hours hitting red triangles.
But leaderboard events are only occasionally worth the effort given the wide brackets they use, that’s true.

@ionic briar the trit rewards for fed fractured empire was decent enough. I spend 3M-4M in repairs and got 8M, rares + uncommon

I don’t know the LB event for me was easy. 14 minutes and I take first place. 4 seconds and my solo is done. I’ll take that all day long.

Solo events rewards were good, i just can't believe they can't balance events to take a reasonable amount of time. Not hours of grinding, not 5 minutes warping, 2 seconds killing, then done. I think pike is making it impossible to balance events around really - the amount you can kill, and what becomes challenging, is too different with/without him.

@lavish patrol what about the speed ups and dil?
I’ve seen that the leaderboards are usually dominated by certain ops players, like 28 or 34 or stuff
Basically the top ops level of the brackets
So the thing is only they get to participate and earn in events properly
For the rest of us, we basically don’t have any content
