I really loved how Scopely had dvor parts in the event store early on today, but then they removed them.. I was so looking forward to buying a bit of those. 😔
wild nebula
I commeend scopely for bringing back the Event Store. Awesome stuff and thank you. However, if your purchasing dvor bps. Can you please, make more options than just 1 at time, for example, 10bps and 20bps. Its fustrating sitting there 1 bp at a time
@frozen bone they have not removed dvor bps. They are still in my event store.
frozen bone
Yes, bps are still there, but the parts.. they were there.. now they are available no longer.
At some point when people started restarting their clients, the dvor parts and franklin modulators just vanished from selection. I guess some Scopely boss decided it was a good way to maximize profits. 🙈
Edit: And the parts and modulators were back few hours later. Interesting.

Please fix the price of officer shards in the event store. There are some that cost more than 10x what others cost. This is an obvious oversight and should be corrected immediately. All officers shards should cost the same amount.

@mild glacier Commons are cheaper than Uncommons are cheaper than Rares are cheaper than Epics. I do not see a problem there. All shards of the same rarity cost the same amount.
you expected Epics to cost the same as Commons? That's just silly.

@upper iron we are also waiting for a major defect on the shop. 1 USD for the most expensive packs. That day will come, based on the quality .. pardon .. the sheer lack of it.
in any case this is by far the worst release since im playing. pure garbage. No respect for players. @prime gulch FYI... have you dropped QA so low?
upper iron
other than some things populating late, some issues with the event store(which we don't have currency to spend in the store yet unless you bought some) and the bugged notifications...it's been a pretty good launch
how is this a "failed release"
sharp seal
oh, ok, so for you its fine. now i understand your standards. Pretty low i see.
other than some things populating late, some issues with the event store(which we don't have currency to spend in the store yet unless you bought some) and the bugged notifications...it's been a pretty good launch
@upper iron o dear, you live in another dimension. look on what people is reporting. This is a complete garbage failed release.
upper iron
well, I mean I just don't see an issue with a store being bugged before I actually have the opportunity to use it. As long as it's fixed before I get currency to spend there, what's the big deal? The notifications are annoying, but they are working on it. Mistakes happen, as long as it gets fixed fairly promptly, what's the issue? It's not stopping me from playing.
the only other major issue I see is the targeting issue some are complaining about. They changed targeting last patch, people complained, they changed it back. It is now working as it was before.
sharp seal
Mistakes happen, as long as it gets fixed fairly promptly, what's the issue? It's not stopping me from playing.
@upper iron well, it should NOT! Period. user experience is the worst. true, it does not stop you from playing. but if you're ok with garbage, then i have nothing more to say. Clear you have no ideea what quality vs experience means ..
upper iron
Ok, when you go make a game and have flawless releases let me know
until then, I'm back to enjoying my time in the game. Again, the only issue that's kind of annoying is the notifications, other than that, I'm in game, doing my dailies as normal, without any issues
sharp seal
Ok, when you go make a game and have flawless releases let me know
@upper iron go accept garbage. be happy like that. It is true that having low expectation nothing can touch you.

This has all the taletell signs of a couple company that sees the imminent reduction of playerbase and profit so they're pumping out as much quickly hammered out drivel as possible. Tossing out 3-6 $99 packs for stuff you don't even really need for an event they don't even know if it will work.

Why would they name the half-Bajoran Ro Mudd???
Obviously they're copying Ro from Ro Laren from TNG. But Bajorans have their surname first.
Ro is a surname. Ro Mudd has two surnames.
In Ro Laren, Laren is the given name.
Kira Nerys, Kira is the surname and Nerys is the given name.

@meager creek they took some stuff away from event store last night to adjust them in order to reduce lag.that is prob why you didnt see bps

Yesterday, scopely removed the dvor and freq mods from the event store, before readding them with a better exchange rate. However I wish scopely had looked at the other ship parts. You cannot seriously justify to me, 50 surveyor parts for 34k. I suggest this needs a better exchange rate.
winged axle
ship parts have been like that since first event store
wild nebula
Just because they have been like that since the first event store, does not mean the exchange rate is correct. Just saying 😜
winged axle
yeah I know,we have forwarded it a few times already
wild nebula
I already have a legionary, centurion and valkis. I have Franklin, dvor and vidar. I would like kvort and antares bps. But because I am hostile or enemy with those factions. I do not get option to buy them. The only ship that I have interest in, is the gladius. I am limited to 20bps and it saves some faction credits. So outside of the gladius I am really left with dvor parts or freq modulators. If players could buy ship bps for the likes antares or kvort, so when I faction lock rommies and grind fed rep, it would help. Just saying. 😜😂😜 Give me something else to aspire to in event store.

Lol, scopely) on mining spots everything turned from bad to worse and the to the worst! From relatively slow data mining you turned it into active mining, on high speed but you should be there moving botany every 15 seconds... Now instead of mentaining speed and increasing a bit mining spots what you did? You split in a half old style and new style and when the data mining event will be on, Yarda will be like overcrowded 24/24... The worst augument update ever!!

<@&509691205798592532> you've told me to reset the data nodes to get it bigger. I did multiple times but still hasn't increased in size........
Okay just seen a system with some biggers. Is this intentional?! If it is intended - Why doesnt scopely show transparency and just says for some systems it's increased in size which are A B C?! Or if it's not just get a statement out hey we noticed it's not working as intended - working on a fix.....Communication is key and transparency...this is a joke. I'm not personally attacking you but you Moderators might can give some information up and say that they really do have to work on their costumer service in this case transparent information!
lyric lily
Only in certain systems.
wild nebula
@mortal spindle its not transparency that is the issue. The issue is one of 2 things - a) You have misread or misunderstand the information provided, b) Scopely have not communicated this properly.
Either way transparency is not the issue
mortal spindle
Well after knowing now that it is only certain systems you can interpret from their announcement that this only affects few system but be honest. If you read the text many preferred old data nodes yada yada we are brining back the old ones yada yada -added new larger nodes you have to admit that you'd think it's all going back
Just clearly say few systems contain these bigger nodes to have the players enjoy still the small fast nodes who like it. System A B C contains those
Transparent information clearly spoken not around the point
Well let me admit the word transparent doesn't fit here 100% okay
They said why they made the change etc. But detailed information about the changes are a necessity. This is why changelogs exist!
Just as an example literally no one from our top alliances on the server understood right away this only affects certain systems. After being mad and trying out they assumed it was only affecting certain systems or thougt its another bug
This mechanic is working as intended but just make a concrete statement
upper iron
@mortal spindle ask and ye shall receive:
systems marked slow have the old, larger slower nodes returned to them

Regarding the data node changes as discussed above...
We asked for bigger nodes, not slower nodes.
I know Scopely has their profit-driven reasons for going with fast but microscopic nodes and big but slow nodes.
But we didn't expect you to give us 60k nodes for the new fast rate. We didn't ask you to combine the two.
We asked that you increase the size of the nodes.
Even just increasing it from 3700 in Yarda to 10k would be way better. It would give us the opportunity to multi-task. At 7 seconds per reset, we can't do much of anything else.
If the fastest ships took like 20 seconds to drain the node, that would at least give us a chance to kill a hostile or 2 at the same time.
How about getting the number of resets of the node, to finish an event, down to less than 100? It's freaking ridiculous the way it is.
vagrant topaz
It was fine at 3.7k....but sure keep crying over it and they'll change it again screwing over the majority that actually like it this way. Squeaky wheels get the grease

I appreciate that you fixed the problem where it goes to the beginning of the event store carousel every time you leave a 'product'

@thorn silo you are complaining that you actually have to be completeky engaged with a node, instead of being able to roll up a big node, and be bounced off when 0 or opc.

Anyone crying over the data changes must be illiterate, because THEY LITERALLY IMPLEMENTED BOTH WAYS. Some systems are fast and small, others are large and slow. Maybe try looking around and reading before complaining like a toddler. As for real feedback, having 5 separate solo events with no way to cross-complete does require a somewhat unrealistic commitment. I'm loving the rewards, but it would be nice if doing one quest gave at least some small level of completion for another to help save time.
upper iron
agreed, adding anything that requires any type of grinding on top of Faction Hunt, when killing Faction Hostiles does not count towards it, is too much in one day
Just doing the three Faction Hunts is already close to if not beyond the limit, adding any more on top of them should not happen, especially on weekdays
unkempt prawn
Faction Hunt is a multiple hour commitment which is a lot.
sharp token
@rose cloak you can have your opinion, but "both ways" is not what most people asked for
the fast nodes were fine imo, they just need to be slightly bigger, same speed, just take 30 seconds or so instead of 7
still very much active mining, just not mind numbingly so

Why the massive leap in points required to complete this event, might be fine for those at a stage to run Rare's and Epics but for those of us not yet on a level to do so how are we meant to compete here? lowest Rare is 16M, even with 5 upgraded as far as you can Stella's running decent Mudd crews, that's a push, multiple runs at it is a near impossibility too given the short lead time of the exchange Armadas.

I would like to take the time to say Thank you Scopeley. This Update is as we are usually told "Working as intended". I am fully enjoying seeing JOHNWICK repeatedly hitting my sheilded base. I am also going to spend ALL my directives I have on the Gaugntlet event to finish in top 8-15 alliances. Leaving the top 5 for the ones that fund your paychecks. It is also nice to see that the ONLY exchange armada packs available in the store are for Rare/Epics. Not a single one for uncommon. Which I do believe the Armadas got nerfed at last update for the fact my group could not take down a 31 rare which we had no issues with pre update. And I have even increased my Stella research and stella Power as have others in my group. These Pay events are Great. Thank you again for an outstanding game and event.

Can't do exchange armadas if they don't respawn. Also it doesn't help to talk to customer service if it takes several days to get an issue fixed if they even care to fix it.

where are the uncommon directives in the outlaw packs? they previously had value, now with just rare and epic directives, i don't feel like they do
there are no epics to even run, and we'll just end up with mostly uncommon armadas if everyone is doing rares

@wild nebula
You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. And you fail at logic.
I have never let data nodes sit at zero. That's why I don't want them to zero so quickly. Fracking duh! Zeroing every 7 seconds for some, every 13 seconds for me currently, is absolutely ridiculous.
I don't want mining data to be the ONLY thing I can do. I want enough time before zero to hit a hostile or 2. Or even better, being able to go pee without hitting zero. That's a far cry from wanting to let the node zero and force someone to have to knock my ship off.
For you to misrepresent what I said earlier so fallaciously demonstrates either your ignorance or your malicious intent.
And now that you're on my radar, if I see you say such stupid things to other people I will call you out on it.

Every single person I've heard from on my server hates the tiny nodes. I don't know what majority you're talking about.
Why wouldn't you want the new fast speed but also to have a bit longer before zero? That's all I'm asking for.
Maybe you have a slow botany bay so you don't see how ridiculous it is? How long does it take for a Yarda node zero for you?

<@&509691205798592532> Can something be done with all the Junk filling up this chat room
vagrant topaz
exchange armada timers are too slow. We have enough people on to run 5 armadas but none are spawning in. This is causing strife in the alliance as people that have limited time to be on and actively playing for armadas can’t get into enough to do their event. Please increase the respawn rates.
upper iron
Just because you can't comprehend why the new nodes and the old nodes both suck, and that it would be super simple to make the new nodes not suck, doesn't mean anyone is illiterate. It says a lot about you, though.
@thorn silo I don't think either the old or the new suck. They are both great depending on what I am doing. At work right now, so nice to be able to set and forget one on the old style nodes. If i'm watching TV though, nbd to sit there and refresh node
thorn silo
@buoyant bison @mighty swift I know! I'm saying putting the slow nodes back in is NOT what most people wanted.
upper iron
If I need to take a break or pee or something, I just sit off a node so I am not zero. If OPC, I just go drop off cargo and go back. Again, not hard to do while watching TV
@buoyant bison @mighty swift I know! I'm saying putting the slow nodes back in is NOT what most people wanted.
@thorn silo actually, a lot of people wanted the old slow nodes back
but plenty were happy with the new nodes. I even saw several people change their minds. They hated the new nodes at first, but now love them

Exchange armadas, server 145 ticket submitted, get a grip on reality scopeley
thorn silo
If I need to take a break or pee or something, I just sit off a node so I am not zero.
@upper iron
So are you saying after every time the node zeroes, I should hop off, go kill a hostile or two, and then jump back on the node? That's gonna double or triple the amount of time it takes to finish an event.
Can something be done with all the Junk filling up this chat room
@mighty swift
So why did you contribute to the 'junk' by telling me something that I clearly already knew?
valid vector
Way to go with another worthless armada event that steals all your directives and does nothing but frustrate people.....here is a suggestion do not run intense task hungry events on sever 31 we are way to active and way to full to have anything that is not done 100% correct
thorny perch
The Armada Event is ridiculous. Time amount of points is full absurd. Armadas doesn't work, are not shown, started also by another ally etc etc... This is completely 'not good' or playable
vagrant yew
It's a great scam.
Scopely gets paid by the QC department, instead of the other way around.
thorn silo
@mighty swift you could have scrolled up and read my original feedback so you knew what I was talking about, that would have saved you the trouble and stopped you contributing to the junk.
That's why I'm quoting, so there is zero question what I'm responding to. Because multiple people cluttered the chat by not reading my feedback and responding in such a way that shows they did not read my feedback.

Yeah, these armada events sure keep bringing the Scopely servers on their knees. I wonder why do they still wish to torture us with this. 😂
Maybe they want people to loose directives due to lagging and then buy from store? 😅
vagrant yew
They want to lose their player base.

@rigid badge Borg are not in the x2 recruit chests. Same as Mudd’s Company are not in the ultras 👍🏻

I really feel like this version of the armada event requires too many points to complete

Hi All, is the uncommon armada heist credits appearing in people’s faction store after defeating an eclipse hostile? I have just done a few am didn’t check properly but almost certain it hasn’t registered. Wanted to check before raising a ticket
I agree Psephos, unless you are doing epics is seems very hard indeed

@dark wave You need to return your Stella back to the station. They stay in the cargo hold until you do

@meager creek just start 2 epics, don’t even need to turn up to them. Event done in 10 minutes.

Seriously? 14k points on level 34? For that I would have to open 10 armadas myself. Or open 5 and participate on 29 others (against lvl 31-33 targets). This is ridiculous! 😤 And this on 3 event days, only in this part. According to the event plan, there are still 5 more event days of this kind still to come.

The shared spawnpoints for the exchange armadas isnt great. Why not same as others and each type has its own spawnpoint.
valid vector
I was actually impressed the way they did borg space for armadas. Tons of different areas and a spawn rate of RIGHT THE HECK NOW. I though it was thought out pretty good and didnt glitch too bad even when the entire galaxy was crammed in there trying to do an event. This outlaw arc is being considered garbage by about 280 players on my server. The whales are going at it but all us in 20 dollar a month club in the alliances i am in contact with are calling it a day and going raiding
sharp token
I don't think that is the case with regular armadas
Borg space armada organization was way better
As there was always some of each type available
valid vector
yes it was i miss borg space glitches now🤣

But obviously better with multiple levels of each type
valid vector
hard seperation in the armada zones seemed to keep the glitches down and the mass alliance confusion down as well

WE NEED EPIC ARMADAS!!!
lost spire
Borg space armadas where great in terms of layout and levels. They shouldve done that here too
I can start a lot of epics but none to be found due to the crazy lottery on spawnpoints
dense anchor
Definitely not enough armadas, especially epic. Is there more than one yet?
mighty swift
I saw a 35 for about 10 min
pure tusk
The armadas event required is too high. A person or alliance does not get enough directives in the first place to run that many. Getting 1/3 of one a day and force to buy no scopely this is broken on top of broken.
dry shadow
<@&509690795536941056> Thought you said in the patch notes Note – We have increased the Uncommon Outlaw Armada Spawn rates, but it doesnt look like it.

At level 30, for this event, it would've been better to purchase bps for faction 32. I have no use for 26 & 28 faction ships
swift wren
Garbage pack for outlaw armadas in the store. Why get the big pack when there is only one epic. I say EPIC fail!
silver briar
Why don’t eclipse armadas award the person starting the armada a chest like regular armadas do?
toxic wraith
@silver briar they do 21 epic directives
With team of 4, that's 2 unc armada directives each and if you've been saving your epics, 1 start epic 250 directives x 30 points =7500 just for starting epic
Yes ftp it's difficult to do everyday more than 2 uncommon but I've done today's fully, then maybe Monday can do halfway.
Whales not going to have a problem
And I am nowhere near a stella
As for gauntlet, we'll top5 whale alliances got this sewn up
Gauntlet alliance to start, next weekend will be solo gauntlet... So gonna be whale event
vagrant topaz
One, one epic Armada in our entire server and it's 500 million points... None have respawned and they are immediately fought over. So there is about 3 fake Armadas being ran for points just like with the Borg cube... Great job Scopely. Totally missed the mark on what servers are capable of.
viscid phoenix
Who cares about defeating them as long as you complete the event and get your event store tokens?
dense anchor
So there are literally zero armadas in alpha right now. I’ve seen several armadas with two alliances starting it at the exact same time, no idea what happens with that. I can’t see other people’s armada flags so i have no idea which ones are already started until i try and it (thankfully) tells me. This is epically broken.
iron python
The Armadas are really... Slow.
dense anchor
The timers froze at 3 for some reason, probably because i tried to start my screen recording and so the server lag didn’t catch up. But these two were perfectly in sync the whole time.
upbeat ferry
Another waste of time event. Start epics & fly away. The people running this game don’t care & even worse have zero creativity
silver briar
@toxic wraith no. You do not always get a chest for hosting an armada. 21 epic directives right now have very very little value comparatively.
wild nebula
This is becoming an increasing problem on many servers. In the alliance I am in, we are taking bold steps to stop people running armadas where there is no realistic prospect of victory. Armadas encourage teamwork and activity. So for example, lvl 31 players, running lvl 31 armadas for players 29-31 power allowing. Once you reach ops lvl 35+ things can operate with a "bit more freedom". But we have taken these measures, in the hope that players do not become disenfranchised. However, Scopely should be reaching out to the community working with people. If people become disenfranchised - they eventual outcome results in stale game play, and people quitting the game

@rose cloak
Just because you can't comprehend why the new nodes and the old nodes both suck, and that it would be super simple to make the new nodes not suck, doesn't mean anyone is illiterate. It says a lot about you, though.
@thorn silo This is exactly the problem, the problem is with you and no one else. If you want to go pee, go pee before you start data extraction. Pretty simple idea. You have failed what you want to gain out of your diatribe. Oh I need it faster. Then galaxy research tab or level up your bb. Believe it or not, just because EVERYONE agrees with you, does not mean that is factual or truth statement. That is a statement of opinion. I again set out, what I am seeing. I am seeing that you dont want to be on your device 12hours a day to compete. Then how many seconds/minutes/hours do you want to be on your device to complete your events. However, please stop arguing over utterly pathetic and banal points. Why is this not an issue for you with G3 mat nodes. What people want to see is a clear a concise problem. Anything else, is timewasting on your behalf - and will lead to one eventual outcome, the ban hammer coming down

Why the Eclypse reds starting with a power of 1 million, my vahklas has even 288k I'd don't have chance to fulfill the event 🤔

I would like to Thank Scopely again for another stellar event. It is great to offer Mudd 2.0 in an event. And all you need to do is spend G3/G4. The best part is at Ops 31 i get the pleasure of Competing with at least the ops 38 players.

Garbage event. Full bugs. Unplayable.

The leaderboard events all blow. I’m always competing with people above me who can upgrade one thing in their base and blow me away from the pure cost in rss to do it. These events make no sense other than to continue to reward the whales with everything and leave the other 99% with scraps or nothing at all. I don’t even bother.

Wondering what the definition of whale is in this context?

The announcement about the gauntlet events that just got posted. Wow. The prizes will include (gasp) battle frames! Be still my heart. Scopely do you seriously think avatars and frames are worth something? It seems you do.
“Whale” is a well-known and defined term, @strange patio

@dense anchor I am just wondering how much does one have to spend to be a whale?

Really nice reply.....I was just wondering what your parameters were regarding what a whale was in relationship to your statement regarding gauntlet event. If you can;t explain it, then, in my opinion, your comments are nothing to be considered constructive but just whining. Have a great day!
mighty swift
@everyone During the Outlaws III Battlepass, each weekend there will be an event where strong $$$ performance awards event store currency as well as a Gauntlet $$$ token. To qualify to compete the following weekend, you will need to BUY$ a Gauntlet token the previous week. Each round will require players to carry out various actions related to the Outlaws arc. The 1st round is an alliance leaderboard, the 2nd will be a solo 38/40 + milestone event, while the 3rd and 4th will be solo 40+ leaderboards. Each round will become increasingly difficult/competitive ON $$ spending and the rewards will increase each week. The final round will have Epic, Rare, and Uncommon Battle Frames (depending on ranking in the leaderboard), Apex research medals, and Heist loot.
I edited the announcment a bit to read more true
My definition of a Whale would be someone that could go from the old lvl cap of 39 to the mid 40s in under a 24 hrs period. Even figuring the stock that person would of had from being 39. There was no access to 4* material beyond the store possibly scrapping @strange patio
strange patio
@mighty swift I agree....seen it happen on our server a lot....thanks for your editing of the announcement......awesome!
mighty swift
@dense anchor as for the event type LBs I do tend to avoid for the most part. But it is the bracketing that is way off. Kinda like the PVP range after lvl 20. Seems they bracket events up to lvl 30 then toss everyone in the last bracket. 31-50. But they do not do that to every event. But to compete in some of the solo events I lvled up to 31 to unlock more stella research. The brackets should be somewhat relevent to war ship ops lvls. like 28-31/ 32-35/ and so on. give some lowers a bit of a fighting shot at it.
They are also very inconsistant with the bracketing. One LB top guy is a 38 another top player is 44.
cosmic swift
I personally don't mind about the Gauntlet event as its just an advanced version of the leaderboard's that are there for the whales anyway, But if you are going to exclude a big portion of your user base from this by its very nature, can we have some milestone events for the rest of us that aren't suicide missions and are achievable? Burning armada directives on unwinnable targets just to achieve your milestones isn't fun.
astral galleon
Enough with the armadas they are absolute garbage. Just ... for the love of god, stop it.
torpid quarry
I was saving my heist loot for the ship blueprints and so far have bought 33/45 available for the Franklin. However I just levelled ops from 19 to 20 and now the jelly blueprints are gone. They were next on my list - I understand needing to be above a certain level to get stuff but it is pretty crap that Scopely should penalise people for progressing in the game.
Put the jelly blueprints back in the store for everyone regardless of level
wild nebula
Seriosuly scopely, if you have a cash problem within the business, at least perform a "cash call" to investors - instead of creating an event called "Gauntlet" forcing people to waiting hands of 95GBP packs to complete.
Because this is exactly how it looks - it is a sinister and unscrupulous ploy to take a players money
lavish patrol
In our server, I think there was 500 armadas started against the same epic lvl 45, and people just abandon it. You should give extra points for staying inside and let yourself and your team blown with Stella (or people will join with envoys) so at least it would’ve been slowly damaged over time.
And we’d managed to see some interesting PvP happening at the end, where big alliances would fight to be the last one to kill it
ionic briar
The "Only Top 5 alliances get to continue gauntlet events" is messed up. That means just 350-400 players can even participate in the next gauntlet events
There are thousands in our server and the majority won't even be able to participate?
And moreover what are the rewards for gauntlet events?
A full Eurydice Unlock?
75 Enterprise BPs?
ionic briar
Cuz if we need to spend 8-12 hours a day, for three days a week for four more weeks, grinding eclipse hostiles, you better make it worth it

they never make anything worth it
Just look at leader board events
win 2500 lat 55 uncommon

Is it just me or have Mudmada Events now replaced Data Mining? Limited Targets (ESPECIALLY if you are trying to be one of only 4 that can launch the single Epic target in Penumbra), Lots of fighting, and expensive to launch, and darn near impossible to Max the event (unless you are a "wallet warrior").... Thanks Scopely.
mellow wasp
Its pretty easy to max the event if you've been collecting everything you can in the rogue store every day
And not shooting off armadas whenever you had enough to run one before now. If you're not planning around events though I don't know what to tell you.
Future rounds this month will be tough though.
icy river
I have been. I get 50 Unc. Eclipse Directives for the "Directive, Rep & Credits" thing and 34 Unc. Eclipse Directives for the "Data to Directives" thing. That' s 84 Unc. Eclipse Directives a day and 0 other directives. It takes 100 Unc. Eclipse Directives to start one. Soo I don't even get enough Unc. Eclipse Directives to start 1 a day. For the event you get 10 points per Unc. Eclipse Directive spent so that's 1,000 points per launch. If you launch a 27-29 and win that's another 200 points. So lets call it 1,200 point per. I need 13K points to max my "Tapping the Eclipse" event. 13K / 1,200.00 = 11 Launches.. So 1,100 Unc. Eclipse Directives. At 84 Directives a day that's just over 13 DAYS of store directives....... AND Scopely has run this for 3 straight days..... 13 X 3 = 39 DAYS..... Ummm Mudmada's haven't been around for 39 days have they?? Yup @mellow wasp you're right... Seems easy to max by collecting your store Directive's..
And that's NOT mentioning the other Mudmada events Scopely has run since introducing them....
I'm all for new content. And creating Events around them. But the events should be doable even for F2P alliances..... Right?
mellow wasp
Hmm, you start getting rare directives at scoundrel, you're still not there yet?
Ive been there for 3 weeks or so, I guess i figured most people were at least for a little while.
mellow wasp
Also you dont have anybody in your alliance doing the event other than yourself?
icy river
There is only 1 Rare target.. It's in Penumbra. And only 4 People can launch it at a time....
icy river
I have not gotten a single "rare" directive...
mellow wasp
Anywho, I didn't math it out so perhaps I'm wrong, but I feel as if I would have gotten enough directives to finish these three days from the store, assuming you have a good number in your alliance doing the same, but maybe not. And you won't be able to replenish them by the next round.
icy river
mellow wasp
Correct, you apparently are not to the scoundrel rank where you start getting 87 rare directives a day too. You should be doing pulls as soon as they refresh if possible.
gleaming goblet
Mm the only way to advance in the outlaw ranks is to kill freighters. And since they have garbage got loot you have to kill them all day long. Ignoring all other needs.
mortal inlet
When people are incessantly setting armadas against 500M exchanges, entirely expecting no loot because they don't even get in the zone, just to get points ... when four are set simultaneously ... I think it's safe to say that the event is flawed by design. And why the heck do people seem to have more Rares and Epics than Uncommons? What a corruption of how things were supposed to be ...
viscid phoenix
That’s because you get epic directives for free when you kill uncommons. People had them stored up because they couldn’t use them previously. And the event rewarded starting armadas more than defeating them so it made sense to do that rather than fighting over the small ones.
wild nebula
this is an example of one problem with game mechanics for Armadas - Firstly armadas cater to the strongest ships/strongest players. So when Armadas are created, and the ships arrive the strongest ships are automatically selected. I don't want that. As an ops level 31 player, I want to run an armada against level 31 target with 10k credits available. To make sure every one has a chance of sharing, I want ops level 29-31 to partake in the armada. So I only want to certain people, to be notified the armada is running not everyone in the alliance. I can run an armada of 5 seats (myself + 4), with ships crewed correctly, we can go on a run of killing 5+ targets. We have an alliance of 75 people. We need the ability to create "fighter wings" of similarly ops level players. These "wings" can run their own armadas for just those players. Scopely, you are not thinking of the problems with the features you create. Armadas are an absolute minefield. People become fustrated and disenfranchised. It is scopely that is directly responsible - feckin do something. Or your players will do something for you.
However, scopely will take above implement it and then consider Armadas to be "fixed". If that is the case, then it is clear the decision makers in Scopely do not a clue. Let me repeat, Scopely does not have clue.
Engage with your players
valid phoenix
@wild nebula you can select who participates. Notify your alliance only those approved will be in. People get angered if you do not announce crew and they show up and get bumped.
wild nebula
@valid phoenix that response is precisely the problem. Instead of engaging with the player base. What if the leader loses Internet connection before selecting players. I know of such case in the last 24 hours. This is precisely the problem, scopely is never to blame. Its always the players. Community engagement by scopely is about pacifying CRITICISM. August 13 for eve echoes. Looking forward to it.
valid phoenix
@wild nebula I dont know what more you want. The ability to star players is there. I would prefer they not add an additional feature to the game that would most likely cause more glitches or bugs. If you cannot control your alliance that is a you problem. If people join after being told what the crew is, and cause one of the chosen crew members to get bumped, you kick that player. At some point players have to be able to manage their own team and not rely on Scopely to do it for them.
wild nebula
@valid phoenix We are not asking for scopely to manage our players. Players historically will disobey alliance rules because of the broken game mechanics scopely adds. Let me repeat, the broken game mechanics, scopely introduces.
valid phoenix
further, your statement is ironic. you claim the current set up disenfranchises people, yet the very thing you want to do causes that. Specifically excluding potential teammates by giving others preferential treatment. My group allows people to call their spot. Once one armada is ran, they have to call again. And my group has plenty of people willingly back out to allow those not in the last one an opportunity to participate. Running 5 armadas with the same select crew, and ostracizing the other members will cause you to lose people in droves.
wild nebula
We have done a survey in our alliance that demonstrates some players keep getting bumped, disenfranchising those very players. What we want to build are features that benefits all players, and not just the limited group you hear through the private and limited VIP group. Stop being defensive and accept that things are broken and need fixing. But that's right, scopely only cares about its "whales".
valid phoenix
Well frankly I do not think this part of the Armadas is broken. If people are getting bumped the problem is within your group and not the game mechanics. When we call only those people show up. If someone shows up and bumps one because the leader didnt lock they get a warning. If it continues they get the boot.
upper iron
@valid phoenix We are not asking for scopely to manage our players. Players historically will disobey alliance rules because of the broken game mechanics scopely adds. Let me repeat, the broken game mechanics, scopely introduces.
@wild nebula If players disobey Alliance Rules...kick them from the Alliance. Pretty simple. This is an MMO, there is a social element, managing your Alliance is part of that.
wild nebula
Okay @valid phoenix if you claim this area of armadas is not broken, why is a notification sent out too all players of that alliance that an armada is formed and inviting them to join? Surely even those of limited intelligence can see that is a problem.
upper iron
I was in an Alliance that had players that did not follow rules, including one Commodore who was a friend of the Admiral. We had a friend of mine who I had brought to the Alliance quit. He popped all his tokens and let us raid him. This one Commodore was sending multiple ships, not taking turns, just being a real female dog about it
well, my friends and I are no longer in that Alliance now are we?
wild nebula
On one hand, don't turn up but then getting a notification inviting them to participate????? Seems like flawed logic to me
upper iron
the solution comes with the social aspect. Most players in my current Alliance know to just ignore Aramada notifications
I do wish we had better notification settings, so we could choose which ones we get notified for, and just turn Armada notifications off though
dense anchor
@wild nebula I don’t know how else this can be said: If your alliance is so lawless that people ignore what they’re told and just show up to armadas and bump the people already there, your alliance sucks. Fix it or leave and find a better one. Armadas are completely manageable a) by using the stars to pick who you want (and don’t talk about “one time the leader had a glitch” as if that negates the entire function, and/or b) enforcing behavior within your alliance. It’s not like you’re having to keep other alliances out, it’s your own people. If your leaders aren’t going to manage this, SERIOUSLY, go find a better alliance.
Anyway, back on topic for this channel, EVENT FEEDBACK: the gauntlet event is complete and utter garbage. Thanks for creating an event with follow-on stages that you right up front told 95% of the server they won’t be allowed to compete in. Only the top 5 alliances on this weekend’s event even get to do the rest of it? WHAT. THE? I know Scopely loves catering to the whales, but seriously, is it necessary to start making whole pieces of the game that only their alliances get to even participate in? Way to disenfranchise nearly your entire customer base.
upper iron
so whales should not get special content? What's going to keep them playing and paying?
You are absolutely right, they told us up front, so we knew if we did not stand a chance to just ignore it
valid phoenix
@dense anchor please remove curse words from your post or I have to delete the whole thing.

It is not lawlessness I am referring to - its Scopely's game mechanics facilitating breaches. We have had one such case, where a player would turn up to "stella" only armadas with anything but a stella. I now believe they are using bot software - and they did not know what they are doing. I suspect they were scraping the notifications, and sending a ship to an armada blindly. Whenever dares to question what is the game mechanics, scopely cheerleaders jump out of the closet blaming players/alliances.

So boot the player - from the alliance. Yes, problem solved, if you cannot think beyond 2 steps in front you. So player moves to another alliance affecting that players experience in new alliance. This does not fix the problem, is a sticking plaster over the problem - when really open heart surgery is required.
upper iron
yes, social problem, social answer
wild nebula
Why are people so reluctant, to accept there are serious issues with game. Lets not touch the code, and break something. Sounds to me, like some people are too involved in the code of the game, beyond being a mere player. Hmmmm....
upper iron
oh, there are issues with the game. No question about that. This is not one of them...
wild nebula
... so you claim
upper iron
and you are the only one I have ever seen make this claim
out of thousands of players on this Discord....you are the only one
I see no one here agreeing with you and several people disagreeing with you
wild nebula
So please @upper iron tell me where your list of issues are documented and how far along Scopely are in instigating fixes and/or mediations to those issues?
upper iron
my list of what I consider issues is in my head. When stuff comes up that I feel is an issue, I send in a ticket, that way it is logged and filed with other tickets saying the same thing and when there are enough tickets, Scopely will look at it
as for how far along they are, how in the world do you expect me to know that?
One of my major issues was several Officers not working. they did fix that with this last update, so kudos to them.
actually, several things got fixed, other than notifications, it was a great update
warped sierra
good morning. what's up?
wild nebula
So, lets just break that down, you have a list, in your head. Scopely does not acknowledge it as issue, other than if x number of tickets say the same thing, then it is looked at. So the issues you claim are issues, may not in fact be an issue. Isn't that a sort of subjective metric to be applying???? "Several things got fixed" "it was a great update". I do not think fixing problems - is the measure of a "great update".
upper iron
guy thinks that Scopely should do something about players in his Alliance not following Alliance rules and showing up to Armada's that he does not want them in
like when he tries to run a 31 and only wants other 28-31s there, and higher players show up
or when non-Stella's show up to Stella-only Armadas
but of course we told him there are stars there for that reason and if a player continually breaks the rules of your Alliance or can't seem to work as a team, you can remove him from your Alliance
wild nebula
That is a somewhat simplistic way of looking at @upper iron. But if the measure of "great update" is "fixing issues" then simplistic is what I am going to get
upper iron

@wild nebula Yes. just because i consider something an issue does not mean it's an issue
I am but one player and there are thousands
warped sierra
FYI, i would love a rex "X" right next to the star. lol it's the easiest solution, HOWEVER, because it's not present in the game, we gotta coordinate, and handle the personnel issues ourselves. what did we do before the stars? you had to coordinate and keep people from getting bumped.
upper iron
I mean, I really think thta dailies and event should reset at the same time
that's an issue for me
but most don't feel that way, so whatever, I live with it
wet vale
It would be good to pre-star people before armadas start / they arrive, in order to prevent last minute ninjas or crashes preventing you select people.
It'd be nice to limit armadas to certain ship types, so you can easily say strongest stellas only, rather than have to click each ship.
It'd be nice to select by outlaw research level, rather than power, as we've bumped stronger stellas for weaker just because we had no idea.
It'd be great if you didn't have to click every feckin ship in order for it's power level to show accurately.
It'd be good to be able to start chat rooms with alliance members, so you can join up in groups of 5, and publish armadas to teh group instead of alliance. Alliance chat gets REALLY confusing when you've got lots of armadas starting at once, and people are just used to saying 'omw' without specifying which armada they're on their way to..
Oh and for the love of god if an armada is started at the same time as yours, give like a 20 second window to cancel and refund directives. I've lost 2 rare armadas so far this event just because we had no idea who was actually going to hit the target first
wild nebula
The crashes preventing you from starring people is a biggie - that recently affected one running of an armada in the last 24-48 hours
upper iron
yes, crashes are an issue. I'll give you that, despite the fact that if I crash once a month I'm shocked, because I can't really recall the last time I crashed
wild nebula
Okay lets not use word "crash", lets use the phrase "any event which interrupts the game play"
upper iron
aside from a crash, what else interrupts gameplay?
wild nebula
Failure of Internet
upper iron
again, can't remember the last time that happened to me
and that is definitely not Scopely's fault
they should not be responsible for your internet failing
if you have a problem with your service provider, take it up with them. Don't expect Scopely to do something about it.
wet vale
Well lets go with the common case where scopely bugs something out and you can't see your own armada flag to select people..
wild nebula
Some people in rural locations may have particularly bad internet connection issues. That is not something scopely is responsible for. However, scopely is responsible for the game, and if real world issues interfere with game play - they have failed to consider those influences in the gaming mechanics which they create
upper iron
That is a very unreasonable expectation
wild nebula
So a hospital shouldn't consider the loss of power supply in delivering there services???? things just happen I guess
lyric lily
How are we even this far into a discussion in a channel that's about providing feedback on events?
Please, try and get back on topic lads.
upper iron
A hospital does, as does Scopely, they have back-up generators
they make sure they have power. It's not up to them to make sure you have power at home though
lyric lily
All feedback is valuable and there's never a unified opinion, ergo - please leave your feedback here and don't feel the need to discuss the feedback of others. 🙂
wild nebula
@upper iron Seriously, do you practice being obtuse - or does it come naturally?????? "they make sure they have power. It's not up to them to make sure you have power at home though" - I have never said that power at home - is a scopely requirement. I am going stop right now - before I say something I regret. I guess stupid does as stupid is - is a thing
sharp seal
How are we even this far into a discussion in a channel that's about providing feedback on events?

@lyric lily probably missing a feature to move topic to an appropriate channel and 2nd there is no appropriate channel

For those commenting on missing Alliance flag on armadas, scan the armada and then exit to the main screen. The flag will now appear allowing you to select it and access the lineup listing.
Not a fix, I know, but a short and simple workaround

Are they going to retroactively reward for the quest completion for this even?!
molten coyote
I'm extremely disappointed in how outlaws 3 heist loot is absolutely 100% leaderboard oriented. With the lone exception of a single "researching the enemy" event, I haven't seen a single way to earn heist loot. If there was any louder way for scopely to say "screw you, its pay to win" this chase officers leaderboard does just that to everyone below level 27. Feeding the whales is extremely damaging on the newest servers, and until they drop a ban hammer on the cheating bot alliance... I'm definitely not buying anything, battle pass or otherwise.
upper iron
It's in the Battle Pass too
with just the Battle Pass, I get more than enough to get my 45 Franklin BP, plus some extra
yeah, if you want more you pay to win the LBs, but there is plenty available from just the Battle Pass
molten coyote
The F2P battle pass is just enough for Franklin at 24. It won't get the Dvor. borg store earned me 45 northstar, 45 franklin and 25 jellyfish prints.... plus officers by comparison
Sorry, but it's a very loud "screw you" to run exclusive leaderboard events when you have a bot like 50 times worse than scotty's workshop was on the loose.
lone drift
4400 codes a day is 100% an unofficial Eclipse daily. Can Scopely throw in a bit of rep and make that an official rewards ladder?
gleaming goblet
Why do ai have a solo ranked Domination event? That showed up in a last few hours?
upper iron
I am guessing at the same time they pushed badges to the event store for lower levels they accidentally pushed that event
primal fox
What happened to the Blueprints in the event store?!?!?! That was my number one reason for being excited about this event! 
iron python
They're working on it.
iron python
Thank you for the update!
molten coyote
Okay, that's not exactly a fix... the badges are showing up at 75k each, but lower levels (say a 24) have zero chance to buy the things unless in one of the top leaderboard alliances. Event smacking more and more of feed the whales and screw everyone else. Lemme see some heist loot events that aren't pay to win leaderboard deals.
torpid quarry
Still sucks that the jelly BPs disappeared at level 20. Scopely are penalising people for game progression. Put them back ffs

At least scopely admits they're screwing us. Let me buy half of the vi' dar last event and then tell me it's by design that I'm not a to buy the other half of it in this event 😡

what level are you?

Didn’t have it available at 24, showed up at 25 for me.
rose cloak
When I say this, keep in mind I have completed and will complete every milestone of all 3 Outlaws events: Announcing that getting something requires the completion of something that can no longer be completed is like "DONT EVER DO THIS" Gaming 101. If I was one of the people who couldn't complete them all (some of my alliance mates were 26 during Pt1 and just barely couldn't complete the BP) I would be LIVID. There's just no real excuse for that level of poor planning.

This about the frame? Hardly a massive loss if you don’t get it.
dense anchor
It’s not a new announcement, either, it was in the original message when this all started. That was just a reminder. And yeah, it’s a frame, so who really cares? What’s more astounding to me is that Scopely seems to legitimately believe frames and avatars mean something to players. “Oh, if I complete all three stages I’ll get a new FRAME?! In that case, I’m gonna do it.” Yeah....don’t think so.
modern urchin
I am only doing the event for the badges, the frame is a nice plus but really, who cares?!?
timber bloom
Why does scopely think we really want a 3rd day or mining events???
sly coral
Just scrapped Stella and got no points on event
torpid saddle
Going back to my book please @ me when the game actually returns from mining
limpid rune
No points for scrapping Stella and scrap time has increased again. A level 20 Stella has gone from 18 hours to 20 hours and now 22 hours. There is no help from customer support. They aren't even processing help requests anymore. On top of it I have been informed that they play on the servers they are suppose to provide help on and have used this to punish other players.
sharp seal
they are processing them but .. receive only incompetent answers from CS. I think there is a total separation between devs and CS .. probably different company. Based on the answers they actually don't have the necessary tools to do their jobs, and they do what they can, given the conditions.
limpid rune
We have a dev playing on our server. That's how we know that customer service doesn't care.
vagrant topaz
So I found out that I like master surveyor much better than lat rush. The latter requires hours upon hours of babysitting timers whereas the former requires about an hour of active mining, freeing up time and docks for other purposes. Now, if you’d just add some uncommon gas or crystal to the rewards...
And give us more stuff to spend the data on...
dense anchor
CS, like every other tier one support in the world these days, is clearly working from a playbook, hence the canned responses and limited understanding of the game. They rarely grasp what i try to tell them and often answer questions i didn’t ask. It’s mostly useless.

The $99 one is worse since you only get a “chance” to get one of the officers and if you already have it you only get 7 shards worth of transporter patterns...

$20 not bad if you don't have Pike and are a long way off.....havign XP Officers for everything but Interceptors
the $99 one, yeah, it's a chance, but you will get one of them
which one you get is the chance, but you get one full unlock
if you don't need/want any of them, yeah, probably not worth it. Plenty of people have bought it though, so it's worth it to some people
and is it really only 7? not the normal conversion?
I'd like to see some evidence of that

Getting really sick of seeing ALB, participating and earning points towards it, and then not getting the rewards.
I put in a ticket and was told "you participated but couldn't receive the rewards". ARE YOU SERIOUS?!

Completely crap that people who did not get into gauntlet cannot earn any event store loot today. Pay to win again with nothing for the smaller teams. Give them extra, but it's bad to remove from others

Having no Heist Loot outside of Guantlet is a huge blow for the majority of the player base.

Event feedback: I like the ability to get badges. It is possible to get 3+ of each badge by doing 100% of this event which seems to take the right amount of work. I commend scopley for some good event rewards.

Event difference between gauntlet (one of top 8 alliances last week) to non gauntlet events. Where is the loot rewards for the regular players? And really 3 days when 90% will finish in no time on day 1?
@mighty swift how come it was only top 5 alliances go through this server and top 8 on others?
mighty swift
@silver pike I was refering to ranking in overall power LBas in top 5 for my server. But they are all in the alliance LBs in the top 8 on the others. But last event to win the gauntlent to be in the one this weekend was a power base event. bigger ships can kill more then the lower alliances period. Even though my group finished in top 10 on that event. there was a HUGE point difference from rank 7 to 10.
woeful raven
Our server was top 5 for gauntlet

It would be still good if you can see who took part at the ally milestone Events. This point Was said over and over and over...

And over and over and over and ,,,,,,,,
Really hope you have a better way of getting unc Exchange armada directives. Server is going to run out of them very fast come Sunday and then run out of rares that are doable. Just for the fact you need to defeat an uncommon for the chance of a rare/epic to spawn.
This really needs to be fixed. You all did so well with the Borg armadas on types, lvls and spawn times. As well as availability of Directives.
zenith compass
Why is there 4 days left for this event when its not possible to unlock the missions in that time, the only way to do this is buy the points pack🤨
mighty swift
Really hope next 3 days have high points in events.
vagrant topaz
Even if it's all domination events (highest scoring event) we won't reach the mission keys in time...not by a long shot
31.33k/day to reach it...seems unlikely
Have scopely miscalculated? Other than the first borg arc the f2p missions have been reachable before their associated event timed out...hopefully scopely has some high scoring events planned for the next 3 days
uncut sentinel
I am going to say this and I am sure it has been said before, but I find this APEX SPY event to be missing some... I can appreciate that they balanced the mining regardless of what you get 1 point, and you get points for adding an upgrade to your Botney Bay, but nothing for Tiering the ship? I mean just to get to first rank in the event I need 92.5K and lets be honest at 1 Point per mining that was a long time. And with my bb I did not get much for the one component I needed to add. So without getting points for Tiering the ship it was a useless event that I could not achieve any level without going wihtout sleep.
mighty swift
Depending on your lvl and BB lvl would only take about an hours time on the fast green nodes of mining to finish off event. I do agree they should of put teiring BB as points

What on earth makes you think people will spend rss or buy packs for a single shot with nothing to fall back to.......just dumb
past fossil
People spend on it still unfortunately
ripe elm
@past fossil So far our server is the only one with a single place.It was not like this in the past.

How old is your server ?
I can only assume these things are done by events team checking numbers or server age

Beta...august 2018 @past fossil
Star quip got 3 complete ships while the only participant and now its nerfed to 1 slot?
past fossil
🙈 how good is the population ? Any rough idea?
If the server pop is low or activity is low they do tend to change things
Was a while ago on our server the 39+ pretty much anyone got rewards from events even on minimum investment but now they altered the reward structure to make it competitive
ripe elm
The server merge added 35ish actives. Its still stupid small 130 ish actives.Ive been the person leading the charge for mergers and more population for our server.
I totally get smaller servers having a smaller ladder even though populatipn size is not the players fault. 1st a full set...second a half set 3rd a quarter....sure that fair.This is not.
Seems strange letting a single person on a server of 100 players get 3 of them and now make it like this? @past fossil
past fossil
I don’t believe the intention was ever to allow people to get multiple Jelly’s originally, but there are a few edge cases where a few players got access to win a second or so
But obviously if your server pop is super low that’ll be the reason why
meager creek
Still salty about the inability for players locked out of gauntlet to get heist loot right now, but I really do like Apex Outlaws mix of badges, badly needed dilithium and options in terms of spending in the event store so thank you for that Scopely.
ripe elm
@past fossilI am sure it wasnt intentional.But 3 he has lol.But thats something there is little way to redress so meh.And I have no problem making events competitive with scaling them, all for it. A single place in an event is however anti competitive. No way im buying a single pack of anything when its an all or nothing crap shoot.

@storm gyro If you're not in an alliance when a event has started, you cannot participate.

do you mean they must be in alliance 5 minutes before the event starts? if I arrive later and do the whole event, isn't it worth

Yes you have to be in an alliance before the event starts.
If you join after it has started, you're not allowed to participate.

I am at 227k battle pass and need 256k for the last missions. I don’t see them giving us 29k worth of points tomorrow.
dim whale
Yes and asked a question in Galaxy Chat but no response.
Guessing ftp are getting the shaft again and excluded from completing aspects of the game.
lusty cargo
Always been able to grind out the mission events without paying before. Not sure why they would do it now. And the rewards are really good enough to justify paying for them, so it doesn’t make sense.
dim whale
Same for ISS Jellyfish event. The Jelly is crucial for early dark space play but current structure means you better throw down $5-10k PLUS to obtain one.
lusty cargo
Well the jelly is a huge reward. The mission event is for 10k loot. Not worth dropping money for.
So it doesn’t make sense.
dim whale
Just another pointless way that gains Scopely nothing but pisses off their player base.

How can you expect me to believe rewards have been applied to my account properly - when you cannot give me a simple answer as to why events "auto completed". I do not believe the rewards have been correctly applied. I have asked for a statement of all rewards. I have asked for detailed statement showing when the events went live - to help me understand what took place. Nothing has been supplied except glib, empty hollow statements - diarrohea has more substance. @prime gulch sort out customer service, please
valid phoenix
Some events have been auto completed due to problems within the missions that make it impossible to complete (glitches for example) and in the past they auto completed a number of missions which had very high res payment requirements. In all instances I was credited with the rewards. As far as events go, which event was auto completed? @wild nebula
wild nebula
@valid phoenix It was the Heist Preparation - Gauntlet event, which "auto completed" without me doing anything. Apex Rogue same day, also "auto completed". I believe I got the rewards from the Apex Rogue - not so sure Heist Preparation event. Just not getting information that satisfies my enquiry from support. How many guantlet medals should I have, if completed all events at this stage? I am not saying that support is wrong - just the way information is be communicated, is not being done in a transparent and informative manner.
valid phoenix
During the event requiring you to participate in armadas, if you opened the chests in Rogue store (Faction Store) and purchased armada directives (I believe there are 2 chests, one uses keys that drop from eclipse hostiles, other chest uses decoded data) then those counted toward your score and you could have completed it that way. I opened both and got over 2k points toward event.
@wild nebula
I do not recall the rewards, but it wasnt an auto complete, just got credit for obtaining directives.
wild nebula
I bought a small pack of directives. Would that have had the "same effect" @valid phoenix
valid phoenix
most likely yes
it seemed to count obtaining directives toward the event
I have not seen any reports of people not getting rewards, so most likely you got them, but unless you ss your heist loot before and after you may not "see" them as added. I quit ss just because I have too many on my phone now. But I was always credited.
urban cloud
Perfect Battle Pass attendance will put you 6000 Battle Pass points behind the last set of mission keys after today's Domination. That's 16830 Heist Loot from the Going Out With a Bang event that is unobtainable without buying Battle Pass points. That's really unfortunate. Especially since Heist Loot was removed from 3 days out of each week to make it Gauntlet-exclusive.
mortal dove
yeah, this is an incredible dickmove. So you need the pay battle pass for the last mission and cant just do it in time. Wtf.

@prime gulch Jelly event needs revamped. People spend massive amounts of resources and get bumped at the last minute losing out on shards. It's a crappy way to get the jelly and many who participate get a FU at the end. I don't don't wish that on my worst enemies in-game. This game gives us enough FU's every day to make us want to punch it in the face, jelly event shouldn't be another one.
dim whale
A one point they ran a jelly event where if you went up by 2 levels you got a full unlock. Much cheaper and in fact guaranteed way to get this vital ship. Loads of people on our server did it that way. Obviously wasn’t profitable enough for greedy Scopely so now they shaft everybody and put it out of reach for 99.9% of players on here.
mystic kraken
really? can't complete mission event again w/o buying battle pass points? 😦
idle hazel
how are we supposed to complete this "without" buying a pack?
in the allotted time frame?

You said it in your first sentence. It is not the first time a milestone time limit was p2p.

zenith compass
Just short of hitting it
And they removed the pvp events this arc that gave a few extra thousand pts each time, guessing they expect everyone to buy the pts pack🤨
sacred trench
Was grumbling about that as well. But finally it is only about 17k of heist loot which you don‘t get. The battle pass lasts until end of august, so you will get the missions and the remaining rewards without much hassle.
tough pasture
17k loot it to much needed BPS
So brilliantly designed by the greedy bastards of scopely
zenith compass
yeah it's only 17k but still we have been able to reach all this stuff in time in previous arcs
I don't like the move towards limiting rewards to force you to spend more money
fleet latch
Scopely greedy bastards
fleet latch
Even if you go and buy points to hit the mark, missions require you to go to all 3 outlaw transwarp cells systems. So most people don't have that
zenith compass
Oh really thats even more sneaky
Would have to saved them in advance
The small heist currency pack gives near the same amount but i would not buy either
lapis torrent
Fix the issue with going out with a bang extend the mission 24 hrs so f2p can achive it you had it right in the last 2 arcs dont change something when it works

Eclipse armadas count for rescue mission? Or only hostile ships?

Wow, thanks for explaining we need 2 warp coils & an extra $20 buck yanky, just to complete "out with a bang".... Stched us up but good, can't get to the milestone, no problem just buy this... Oops, didn't tell you 2 warp coils are also needed, behind a cooldown you can't speed up, oops you can't complete? Why aren't you more advanced in your Stella, did we forget to explain ??? $copelyed.... 🤦♀️ Do you guys have shares in eve echoes? Seems like you directing us all there like a traffic cop... 🤔

Why does In jelly event some servers see 2 positions which receive bps and some servers have much more.. And how this is normal to have to ripp off some servers considered any good for players? Is Scopely a ripp off game company.. If yes we should all be aware of this is a Casino
I DEMAND A ANSWER FOR MY SERVER TO KNOW OUR MONEY WORTH SAME OR ONLY HALF ONE FIFTH OR WHAT

Different servers have different populations. If one server had 100 players and another 1000 then it’s likely places are amended.

When i pay for packs i get less than other servers bc of player base?

Is there no solo event tonight for the players under level 26 to score event store points?
outer wigeon
This Armada event is not fun.
glossy hemlock
All the Outlaw Armada events have been bad. And now a Server LB on top of it. So 50 top spenders move on. And the lower levels in our alliance can’t compete either. Terrible event.
languid marlin
Top 50 spenders and content creators that were gifted massive amounts of directives...
hard vortex
It was really fun, grinding all that time to get a chance to compete ate this gauntlet, up until this latest part, that took all I did and flushed it down the drain. Not only is it lvl23 and up, since others can't spend directives at all, it is lvl27 and up, since others don't really stand a chance without a Stella. And to make things worse, it isn't divided by level at all, and not surprisingly, the people that will advance to the next stage of the gauntlet are the strongest players in the server, and those that don't really need any help improving. Thanks
gaunt igloo
Please, please, please, do not give us another mining event tomorrow. I'm sick of mining.
You really need to mix it up more often and have events more random. For instance, everyone knows lat rush comes on Monday and they set their miners on Sunday evening. If you happen to be doing real life stuff you miss out on the nodes. Randomizing events would make things more interesting and give more alliances and players a fighting chance.

At eclipse Armada Ally Event ally members have the Option every npc give points... I have this not Shown. Only mudd & Stella...??!
Just changed language..... Oh Scopely....

Next time there is a gauntlet event, possibly have it graduated by one more degree. 1st ALB, 2nd solo milestone, 3rd tiered by level (27-33 and 34-40 etc) SLB and 4th/final an all server slb.
ripe aurora
Don't say in station news gauntlet is for lv. 18 plus and then make an event a lv. 18 can 't even score in. Completed round 1 and 2 but now there is no way of me getting any points for round 3
sterile hamlet
I dont even bother with gauntlet. Its geared towards higher level players and I'm the only one in my alliance thats over level 25. Lousy event.
mild glacier
Don't EVER run a gauntlet event like this again! if you're going to have a global solo leaderboard you might as well just give the whales a bonus gift and not have an event at all. This sort of garbage does nothing but piss off the rest of the players and make many people lose interest in the game.
If you can't run a reasonable leaderboard where only players of the same level compete against each other then you shouldn't run leaderboards at all.
A properly run event would have had only same level players competing against each other with 1st to 3rd place getting the gauntlet reward., it would have net roughly the same number of winners, been FAR more fair, and allowed the entire population to feel like they are actually participating in the event.
hushed elk
The gauntlet bracket is ridiculous, have level 18s competing with level 42 (the highest on my server).. why even bother trying??
ionic briar
Can we have nodes of security codes in those 3 mining systems in eclipse? We as it is have so many hostiles to kill every da... 25-50 Faction hostiles, 50 Borg probes, 50 Swarm, And nearly 100 eclipse!
250 Hostiles a day? Why? Give us a passive free way like mining to get those stuff!
vagrant topaz
65 swarm at lvl38+ just fyi...
Plus events for hostiles...4-6 of those most weeks. Oh and you forgot armadas too, gotta do those on the regular if you want to maximise your rss/mat income. They are making this game very easy to walk away from tbh
ionic briar
Yeah exactly...
I get it that you want players to spend more time in game as it increases chances of them buying packs... but we have actual lives!
vagrant topaz
No what they want you to do is buy packs to bypass the time needed. Every hostile killing event has a way to score by tiering ships or spending materials, this is specifically aimed at the whales and krakens using their scrapyards as a g4 production line
gleaming goblet
Thanks for nothing scopely. You have the dullest event planers and designers around! O and since you make obtaining eclipse directives so damn hard to obtain. You can take your 100$ and 50$ packs and stuff them up your dark brain pans.

Feedback about armada event : NEVER AGAIN.

Feedback.
Event #3 of the gauntlet is biased.
I'm level 21. I cannot start eclipse armadas, therefore I'm piggy backing off alliance members and have no control over how many I can do.
Also im in the same bracket as lvl 39 players.
Its impossible for me to place top 50

@low flicker i got bad news for you, unless your server is lvl capped at 39 you're in the same bracket as lvl50's

How many times can scopely keep messing up swarm rewards? Is there a secret competition? Where are the Khan shards.

looks like 4 swarm events now... at least right after all
lyric lily
There was a mix-up on what the consensus was on Swarm events. At planning, they opted for Battlepass points because of the current arc. Realizing what had occurred just now and the feedback that was provided in the past, they rushed and added the Khan reward events as well. Honest mistake guys.

Add more 32er swarm systems if you bombard us with swarm events please, 1800 people using 2 systems is a chore
valid vector
It understandable that Scamley is trying to make a dollar, but if all the lower level players CONTINUE leaving then those whales are not going to have any fun either. The time requirement to participate in this game is ridiculous. Probably why scopley is seeing massive dropouts at 26-34. People dont want to spend a year maxing a faction ship. Fix Milestone Maxes, Mining Refine rates, and lower resource costs for leveling everything to be more progressive.
languid marlin
Please stop with the armadas. To the best of my knowledge, no one likes them.
tight sinew
This game is getting too time consuming. I have a ft job already, and family, this game is getting ridiculous with how much you have to do per day to try and advance. No wonder players are leaving

Is that why no second day of FH? @lyric lily understandable mistakes can happen, at least we got Khan shards today 🙂
Just skip the eclipse stuff free's up a lot of time
I don't do them
most of the research is for stella but the arcs over now
I did a few of the warp and repair researches and the hull/shields
but no point pushing on
the rest is all for the stella
eclipse are too time consuming
And yeah I'm also definitely over armada's after this, the rewards are good in the events but running this many eclipse armada's just to rinse repeat the Stella is not rewarding

Add faction hunt tomorrow and everyone will be happy )

phew, that gauntlet event was a GRIND.
is the next one PVP?
saying that, i do have to agree, capping the levels of the SLB is needed. i ended up having to spend all the directives i saved since the start of the arc just to win this thing.

@distant steeple do you have to be a certain level to get the shards as rewards cause I didn’t get them.

If pvp is going to be a straight out fight and not capped or the playing field levelled then the biggest check book wins. Hand out the prizes now and save us all the effort next weekend.

@kind cipher not that I am aware of. It would be your standard swarm event.

I submitted a ticket this last Friday on Toppling The Eclipse armada event because the Alliance Leaderboard didn't count my first epic points (7500) towards the alliance leaderboard. This is the responses I received from customer service.
these are the kinds of responses that are driving players/customers away

Scopely really doesn't care about it's players or customers... It really shows in the pricing and bugs and responses to issues.... They just give generic responses hoping people don't take it any further.... End result people just quit the game

If there is going to be a PVP event for round 4 of gauntlet or in the future then it should be bracketed based on shipyard level. Doesn't it make sense to have separate brackets based on what ships players have access to? I am a level 41 player and having me in the same bracket as a level 50 is just silly. On server 14 nearly all of the highest level players are in the same alliance. That makes most events super predictable and not very interesting. It also means there is basically no reason for competition. If PvP events were a thing and those events bracketed players based on shipyard level it would encourage power players to not all be in the same alliance.
It is super difficult to find a way to balance PvP in this game. My opinion is that having it based on shipyard level makes the most sense, not each level as it's own bracket but have the brackets be separated based on the levels where new ships become available.
granite haven

Yup. I've never seen so many in our alliance take the day off. Hostile hunt is great, but not for what it offers to event

When will Scopely understand..... Armadas are all about team/group action to take down a target. So why 'o' why are scopely pressing the SLB. It is counter-productive to very nature of the armadas. Think about it, please. Just engage those brain cells.
cyan moon
I would like to amend my earlier suggestion regarding brackets for PVP. New ships become available at key shipyard levels but most players don't get them right away so a level adjustment is appropriate. Example: epic g3 ships are available at 34 and then the next ships become available at 42. The bracket should be 35 - 43. Players at level 34 are most likely still using a ship from the previous shipyard milestone. This is a suggestion for event brackets, not general PVP and station raiding.
brisk osprey
I repeat the question I asked yesterday; What is happening about Battle Pass Points, which are earned after the 20th Milestone has been achieved? Will we be able to exchange them for something else. please?

@stone quarry From the first page I can see that Sesha is captain and not Ahvix. Her captain ability is shown, Always on Guard. Ahvix captain ability Chirugical Precision is not listed. That is why you don’t get the crit boost.

The domination rewards are sh.it when you've finished the battlepass. With no heist loot, it's worth very little.
And I mean the solo event, not the alliance event.

Alliance rewards for domination have always been garbage too
green bloom
Every event reward is garbage. Spend tons of rss to complete and not even make them back in rewards
Speaking of garbage, more technical difficulties...didn't see that coming. Why is literally every release to date riddled with problems?. Like literally every single one ffs. Stop hiring the cheapest labor force and get people that can actually code.
ionic briar
Turn the event store into a permanent thing and add heist loot as a reward in our dailies...
We all have different factions and different ships with different strategies which makes our requirements different from one another.
The event store can be a good way in which a player can choose the exact rewards they need.
So make the event store a permanent thing that will be there no matter if there is an arc or event or not.
Add heist loot to our daily goals
We'll have the ability to earn only what we need
Like if I am hit by the Crystal wall, I can claim UC crystal and make the game a little easier
If someone is hit by the parsteel wall, they have the option to claim just the parsteel tokens
If we need badges, the one can grind towards it from a week or so and earn a badge
We need control over what we get and we should choose our rewards
We shouldn't be forced to choose the events that we want to participate in due to the rewards
lyric vessel
Why isn't there in the rewards from event Alliance credit?
woeful bronze
I had a major amount of issues with the game last night. 1) 5 or 6 crashes or freezes each. 2) game showed me being joined in 4 different exchange armadas, person running them didn't see me as joined. 3) spent 2.5 hours mining, a little over opc on my D'Vor, when I got to my base, it was empty. 4) Was shown just leaving my base, timer said 30 seconds from target, then all at once my ship is sitting in the system. 5) 3 times an invisible seeker hostile ship attack mine, didnt even show attack incoming.
6) 2 or 3 times mine count down timers showed 00m 00s when my miner still had 250 - 500 left in mine. What is going to be done about these constant issues? What kind of compensation is going to given for what was lost? The exchange issues caused me to not be able to complete the armada event because I got so frustrated at it. Came really close to just deleting the game altogether. This mess is getting frustrating.
And btw, I'm expecting more than an "Our Bad" about this.this kind of stuff needs to be addressed and fixed before y'all worry about adding more bells and whistles.

Just to get feedback .... how many alliances will be able to complete the first step in the Crucible of war, in your opinion?
without spending money, of course 😅
storm gyro
I see it as a useless event for 90% of the players ... the first step should be feasible ... absurd to propose 800k points ....
ionic briar
CoW is easy if you have a strong alliance with active players...
I'm from server 195 and we recently booted lots of inactive players and Added a bunch of active players... The average ops level of our alliance is 27-32 and we already are about to finish the second milestone ( so far 60 players have been actively grinding )
It is a team effort @storm gyro
storm gyro
I'm on server 133, ours is a small alliance, medium 28 .... we play actively in 30 ... 😅 we have a lot of fun ... but we will hardly get to the first step
however we are among the top 30 alliances on the server .....
ionic briar
Well you can at least leave 3-4 ships in aug space overnight and score well
storm gyro
Can there be an alliance that rewards only the strongest? 😅 apparently. Yup
Automatic hostile? he stops working ... after two points of victory there are no more attacks 😅
ionic briar
If you are ops 25+ and your alliance is struggling to reach that goal... you probably need to get some new active players or go to a better and more active alliance
Automatic hostile? he stops working ... after two points of victory there are no more attacks 😅
@storm gyro They stop when someone either kills it for you or if someone warps in when they are about to spawn... So go to a system where there are least number of players
You can also do the same in enemy faction spaces
I leave one of my ships in a low level lat system because that is one of the slowest mining system, so less people warping in or out...
storm gyro
Yes, they confirm to me that other alliances rescoo to make goals 😊but for me ad company the importance is enjoy 😅the play shall not became a job 😅
I don’t want oblige anyone to kill ostlieles for 5 hours 😅😂
ionic briar
Best and easiest option will be leaving ships in aug space or enemy faction space if you don't want to spend hours
storm gyro
Anyway thanks for the advice ... I'll show them in the group 😅

@vagrant topaz Hey guys, could you restart the game and check again?
vagrant topaz
@lyric lily The event appeared today, roughly 2 bours ago. though I'm having a hard time figuring out if it counted trophies for all of my participating members. Getting them to gather screenshots so I can total it up. I know there were other alliances on my server that still have this issue.
lyric lily
@vagrant topaz I can save you the troubles, you'll find that the event started 'fresh'. It didn't take into account previous progress made.
However, I was asked to share the following:
At the end of the event, feel free to contact Customer Support about any missed milestones and they'll be happy to set things straight.
upbeat ferry
How come the Stella hasn’t been added to the CoW event. It sure looks like a warship ?
lyric lily
Stella can be tiered indefinitely and uses different materials, so tiering for points with Stella might be a tough sell. However, adding Stella to this list is something which I just forwarded to the event team.

@lyric lily
@lyric lily I don't have a military superiority event. An ally of the same level has it.
lyric lily
@runic nebula That's a different thing from what I was talking about earlier. Military Supremacy is targeted specifically to players, not alliances. We believe it is somehow targeted to certain players that are behind on progression somehow. That might be power, that might be unlocked ships, we simply don't know.

@The Hologram # 9337 can you please tell me where I can get an answer to this question?

@runic nebula If you want to know why others have that event and you don't - I'm afraid there is nobody with an answer. Customer Support has been instructed not to share details on how players are targeted for certain events, same as for our Community Managers. We're all curious but we have to find out on our own I'm afraid.
runic nebula
@lyric lily it's just that we have with another player, everything is practically identical. He's a little bit stronger. But he has this event ...

It could be power. When you first started playing. Ships unlocked. Faction standing. Anything. Keep comparing and something should be significant enough.

Honestly, my server is on the newer end, so unless me and my alliance of 19 people each spent 200 bucks and did all of our solo milestones and they were all counted, plus killed a slew of ships, I am starting to realize we didn't have a chance at even hitting the first milestone, let alone the rest.. A few of them PMed me and were like how in the world are we going to do this. I told them dont get hung up on the impossible, focus on doing your solo milestones and enjoying the parsteel, no way we can even scratch the alliance one. It's kind of frustrating, I feel like new servers didn't stand a chance, with or without the technical difficulties. I've spent a fair amount of cash on this game to get things like Armadas for my alliance, and to get ahead and I still can barely help them lol.
❗ I also noticed that using the De'Vour and the Franklin is only counting as one point in the alliance milestone. Both of which I have.
Edit: according to my ingame ticket the bonus points are counting, they just aren't showing in the progress banners. Known issue and work in progress.

Increasing disappointed 😔 it would be interesting to see the individual score regarding the trophy alliance classification .... for what reason in the other ranking it is possible and not here?
For medius and little ally the event is impossible.....

I had the Supremacy event yesterday. Did some points. Then i upgraded my Ops to 32 and today the event is gone.

@twin epoch I had something similar happen to me a few levels ago. I was in a base upgrade event, then I hit level 25. Last I saw I was in first place but the event wasn't on my list anymore. An hour later when the event ended I still got credit for it. It was strange.

We need to either do away with the mining events, or give better payouts for completing each tier. This goes for all events as well. Pay outs have gotten worse over the past few months.
potent bough
@twin epoch I don’t even get he supremacy event anymore, $copely says it has to do with having completed some things - not specific, I think it’s a cop out. There’s no reason every player of whatever level shouldn’t get it, especially as they scale almost all events based on level.
twin epoch
The funny thing is i had the event going. And it got deleted after Ops Upgrade🤣
wild nebula
So has scopely been playing with the Domination Solo Milestones?????
lone dragon
Doesn't matter, Domination sucks.
But I thought Crucible was supposed to be a 4 day event. Why did it end after only 2?
wild nebula
I thought it was a 3 day event, and ran for 3 days. But maybe I am misrecollecting.

@lone dragon it broke, so they said screw it

These events aren't stopping people quitting the game..... scopely still can't run this game with players in mind
Scopely really doesn't care about it's players or customers... It really shows in the pricing and bugs and responses to issues.... They just give generic responses hoping people don't take it any further.... End result people just quit the game

Question: are all monthly pack the same?

@little plover they call their wallets players.

Please fix alliance reward tiers for COW. We are in high teens/low 20s for most events and overall power, but barely scratch in the alliance event

any news about the "postponed" gaunlet event? the event store closes soon and I guess we wont be able to do much in it from the rewards from the gaunlet event....
inner stream
Hi everyone. I'm sure I'm not the first person to write this. What were the developers thinking and how could this be allowed to happen? To participate in rating competitions in the same group of 30+ and 40+ levels? The only thing that suggests itself is to encourage donation :(((
paper cape
Is the scopely computer stuck in a loop on domination? Getting boring, change them around a bit...
marsh osprey
@paper cape I'm enjoying the break from the intense event schedule ... time to search and raid ... you know, that pvp element to the game ... 😉
paper cape
@marsh osprey even that gets boring after a while, need events for a rest period 😂😂

A pause is good from time to time ...

I’m pretty sure Domination events are the most hated events there are. They shouldn’t even qualify as events. Once again Scopely does a great job listening to their player base. Not sure how many of you are in the same boat but I logged in today... saw domination... popped a shield... and closed the app. Great fun!
visual minnow
Most hated=most loved. Its scopley math
crude totem
Spend money to win domination events. 99% of them are won by whales
shy grotto
domination sucks. a week fraction hunt would be nice
vagrant topaz
I’m not at all happy with their choice to do this 3 days in a row. And adding armadas doesn’t make it better.
languid marlin
<@&509690795536941056> This. This right here. This should not be happening. We are burned out on your stupid armada events. Stop giving us armada events. We do not like them.
wild nebula
Seriously scopely, p**s off - no seriously. 3rd day of domination and yet more armadas. Cant you think of something original instead of same old "rinse, dry, repeat" model.
open otter
Tbh they've been lax on Armada events
Eclipse Armadas were ridiculous though, too many
sharp token
30 mins in and already no armadas left 
wild nebula
Same old story, different day
sharp token
it seems like the respawn rate has improved, but it's still an order of magnitude off
simple path
How are you going to have an armada event and have no available armadas?
wild nebula
Scopely response: "The software is working as intended".
simple path
Lol, in other words, not very well.
tacit trout
Armadas: The most stupid and useless event
wicked pike
aaaaand of course eclipse armadas and directives don't count
becuase that would be too easy, would it?
granite haven
And the lovely spawn rate of the armada's... Useless
wicked pike
the two worst events ever, both at the same time, how luuuurvley
tacit trout
How you can start armadas when there are no one. Stupid.
zealous copper
Three domination events in a row?
wheat fern
Just scopely trying to get you to spend$, thought the armada respawn rate was fixed 2 updates ago, epic fail scopely
sharp token
it's def been improved, it was fine when there was no event
could find a decent armada pretty easily, but it's still probably 10x slower than it needs to be to support an armada event
ionic flame
Armada event was a bad idea with the current spawn rate. My server is already picked clean at least in the systems i can reach at L29
tacit trout
Waste of directives. no comment
rose cloak
It took my server 30 minutes to be completely empty of uncommon armadas.
pallid sand
Obviously, no matter how many time we say in survey, on discord, or here than armada event are not fun, that we hate them, and that no one want them EVER.... You are still doing them 😏 and I m not even starting on the fact than after less than 2h there no armada anywhere to find..
So to help you :
- We hate Armada event. NEVER DO THEM AGAIN
- Nous détestons l'événement Armada. NE LES REFAITES JAMAIS
- Wir hassen das Armada-Ereignis. MACHEN SIE NIE WIEDER
- 我们讨厌阿玛达事件。 永远不要再做他们
- Мы ненавидим Армаду. НИКОГДА БОЛЬШЕ НЕ ДЕЛАЙ ЭТОГО
- Nienawidzimy imprezy Armady. NIGDY WIĘCEJ ICH NIE RÓBCIE
- We haten Armada evenement. DOE ZE NOOIT MEER
- Odiamos el evento de la Armada. NUNCA LOS VUELVAN A HACER
- Odiamo l'evento Armada. NON FARLI MAI PIÙ
- 私たちはアルマダのイベントが嫌いです。 二度と

I love how they also require FACTION armadas. Taking the small pool and cutting it in half. What a joke.
At least include neutral space if you are purposely avoiding exchange because of their high spawn rate.
sharp token
it doesn't actually
"faction armadas directives" are just what they are calling regular armada directives
why? who knows
rose cloak
Oh so poor and confusing direction. Not exactly better, but I guess I'll take small wins?
tacit trout
Its just a waste of time
outer wigeon
This armada event sucks. Need to launch 10 armadas and/or complete some over a certain lvl. Not enough Armadas are spawning for the player base who have a ton of regular faction armada directives in the bank. So we have 4 armadas launching on each armada target on our server. Whoever starts first gets to run it and everyone else is just trying to spend the directives.
rain oar
Replicate eclipse armada spawn rates in regular armadas 😡
mellow topaz
Surge packs not working
rain oar
This event is absolutely pointless. There are peak times in play i.e. when people finish work. At least put a sodding algorithm in that increases spawn rate during peak times
wind moss
Armada events suck when they don't reset them fast enough. Not sure if this was a good idea for a event.
sharp token
@mellow topaz define not working
there are no uncommon directives, just uncommon credits in the surge pack if that's what you mean
the point is to convert uncommon credits into a small amount of rare directives
sleek scroll
It's absolute garbage that the event was structured so that anyone who has a day job gets robbed of all the alliance event milestone rewards. Thanks for the garbage again.
mellow topaz
Mostly just a question... some are reporting no rewards given, but armada credits taken.
wraith briar
Agreed velocimonkey live in wrong time zone or have a job miss out more reason to not spend
wind moss
I know the feeling, worked all day and then come home to see armada events, and slim pickings. They need to think about their events, armadas are great but if they don't reset fast enough, then a waste of time.
signal tapir
Are you guys sure? Read something different in #🏆-event-chat but I might be drunk
willow quest
@sleek scroll @wraith briar start any armada or paticipate in one that is in the range specified in the solo event and you should get all the alliance milestone rewards
sleek scroll
@sleek scroll @wraith briar start any armada or paticipate in one that is in the range specified in the solo event and you should get all the alliance milestone rewards
@willow quest Thanks, but I already did that before I came here to rant. did not work.
willow quest
@sleek scroll many have tested it and it worked for them, are you sure the target you destroyed was in your level bracket? (check solo event not alliance) failing that it sounds like a job for customer support
sleek scroll
I cannot find any information about my bracket to answer that question. We did destroy the target and it earned me 110 points in the solo milestone event.
sleek scroll
I did the one armada yesterday @ around 5 eastern when I logged on. Saw that the team already collected the alliance rewards. I got points towards the solo only and no other rewards triggered.
That's when I realized the payouts for solo event alone did not offset the cost of starting events.
So now I'm not bothering with event at all.
wraith briar
If your alliance reaches all there goals before you wake up and you have not participated you will not recieve any points
dense anchor
that’s between you and your alliance. we try to ensure we don’t leave people behind and give our guys a chance to “buy in” before we hit milestones. but yes, scopely could do a better job of not expecting everyone to be on 24/7, as they clearly think we ought to be.
going back to the previous event: is the story arc ever going to conclude? the missions ended with the appearance of “new Mudd” but there was zero explanation as to who he is and what he’s doing here. i’m big into the story of the game and it’s driving me bananas that it just....stopped

<@&509691205798592532>
Is there some news on Round4 of Gauntlet? Or is it simply left out, hoping people will forget about it?
FYI: The final event was „postponed”. The top50 players who made it to the finals are awaiting some kind of event and awards still....

It hasn’t been forgotten about, things are happening to get it out as soon as possible
But communication on it will come from the CMs

And now we get more 32 swarm systems so we can actually do the event? I know you guys think people fight over it, but most of us just stop playing instead of fighting for event slots
grim lichen
How about frequency modulators as part of the rewards for swarm sunday events milestones.
lament urchin
How about to think about the useful usage of frequency modulators? As soon as you maxxed your franklin, these mofulators are complete useless. I am so blessed to have around 20mio of them but cant use them for anything😂
wild nebula
Sell them at the market place - oh wait - no market to sell them at 😦
shut lichen
How is flooding the 32 swarms an improvement?
ruby ivy
@shut lichen This is freeing up the lvl 32 swarm system, most people are not in there having to farm 187x32's for the Heroic part of the event.
stray harbor
Thank you for making swarm Sunday’s MUCH less tedious!
toxic wraith
@sleek scroll found for the alliance armada, if alliance already completed but you hadn't done solo yet, to get alliance rewards you had to set a normal armada.
Setting an exchange armada provided points but didn't count towards alliance alb.
hollow ruin
@prime gulch @cobalt elm been playing a few months and there hasn’t been a single borg anything for events. Any chance of them getting into the rotation even if it is one event every other week?
queen coyote
Why not include data in the lat rush event, similar to what was done for Master Surveyor.
wild nebula
Why not award people latinum for using a dvor during the latinum rush event. Might stop the so-called 'premining' culture of people using envoys/horizons which starves people with actual dvors of latinum nodes during the week?
Or use the software and test if a person has dvor. If they don't have a dvor - they don't get any points for mining latinum during that event with envoy/horizon. As they then would need to mine G3.
wild nebula
Or better still a bit of pseudo code of devs at scopely IF miningvessel != dvor THEN do not acrue pts for latinum mined END IF
Would stop people from camping on Latinum nodes, starving players with dvors of latinum nodes during the week 🙂
forest spear
Can't you just destroy any ship doing that?
uncut sentinel
@prime gulch or @cobalt elm will the Hostile Hunt be extended cause of the delay with the upgrade today?
eternal mauve
@prime gulch looking at events specifically we keep only doing pvp target 1 and not the whole series. Can we please get targets 2 and 3 in this arc?
thorny perch
I have no problem with a patch taking so long. But for the people who haven't finished the mining event yet, it's pretty bad now
wicked pike
Is Lat Rush going to be extended to account for the delay?
honest kindle
was sitting 5th in solo, but with a d'vor full of latinum. This hour would have seen me regain 4th and push for 3rd - what now @prime gulch @cobalt elm @winged axle
sleek scroll
Agree. Please adjust the event.
uncut sentinel
@thorny perch @wicked pike I asked about the Hostile Hunt cause I was traveling all day yesterday, but forgot about the Lat event too. I fo hope that @prime gulch or @cobalt elm or even one of the Moderators would comment on this.
thorny perch
@uncut sentinel Myself I'm finished with it but there are lots of ally members and players who were planning with the mining event 10-14 +1 hour. But now... the whole timing for the event is broken. why is there an event when making a patch. this makes no sence at all
wicked pike
I's a valid question considering original maintenance time would have ended 2.5hours ago...
uncut sentinel
@thorny perch I think events are pre-planned to always run like the Swarm Sunday and the Lat Monday... So my assumption would be those are done regardless. But in the case of Hostile Hunt they should not have assumed everyone would be done by the published UTC time for the patch to roll out in every case.
