Is Lat Rush going to be extended to account for the delay?

So when is the US servers back online and the update app in game store?

also, you know the patch notes released earlier, describing new officers abilities? Guess what - they're different in-game 🤣

Events will roll-out a bit later when regions are fully back online and running.

Thanks for loss of lat event. We expect a compensation apology and it best be reasonable and not cheap.

I too am not happy - How hard would it have been to extend by 30 minutes - 1 hr, just give people chance to recall miners and add points to alb. There are some very unhappy players because of this. 😡

I ended up 2nd in my solo leaderboard for lat rush, I am not going to complain about that 😉

Those 5 hours really cost... I started 7 hours late, when I dumped my preload, I was 135. When the game went down, I was 11 running 5 farmers, 2 on warp 40 super lat. Not saying I would have won, but most likely ended up closer to 5th... more importantly, I would have gotten a participation 🏆 😆 I got 0️⃣ .
That has to be worth a Tribune...

Please make new officers available in solo milestone events and recruit tables, NOT leaderboards. So that everyone has a chance to get and test them.

Will Discovery be any different? These arc's all have a ship which turns out to be useless and incredibly difficult to upgrade (Franklin, Vidar, and now Stella). It's really frustrating spending countless hours following an arc and doing the upgrades we can do for a ship that is WORTHLESS except for a tiny niche arc. It makes it more difficult with the PVP piece of the game. Sure, you CAN farm the swarm with the franklin. But as a battleship, it's defenseless against players half you level. So I can't farm without being blown up by another player. (Edit: yes the Franklin is an explorer, but a battleship for ROE purposes. If it's not a miner, it's open season).
signal tapir
Franklin is an explorer 🤔
potent depot
Wtf? It's a "day off" due to maintenance. Daily events only. Log back on hours later to find discovery has started and six hours are missing because of it!!!! Wtf scopely?!?!? 😡😡😡😡😡

@prime gulch or @cobalt elm , can you please explain why the events that will happen 3x a day for 10 minutes at a time, will ALL happen within the same ~60 minute window? 8am, 8:30am, and 9am PT isn’t workable; the 3x a day should be spaced out throughout the day, IMO — one in the morning, one in the afternoon, one at night.

@prime gulch I've been trying to log in for over an hour now the game constantly stuck at 91%..... Shields down and no way of getting on............
Funny how the new bug fixes are as long as the patch notes....... Why bother playing a bug riddled game
mossy oyster
<@&509691205798592532> are the new discovery quests tied to level? Or is scopley cutting of the player base from the new storyline

No idea

So you can't recruit new officers with ultra recruit tokens like previous arcs ? You have to buy them ?
Thats a new low Scopely

@neat whale the description says the anomalies will appear every 45 minutes throughout the anomaly event day.
stray harbor
Read the description for chaotic space event and the short event times will make sense.
buoyant bison
Why are all these events pay to win???
Black Alert event - Need the discovery
Anomaly events - Need the discovery ideally or you get about 3 mins to hit hostiles alongside 100 other players all doing the same
Officers - Need to purchase packs
Ridiculous so far

Absolute nonsense event. The dumbest thing Scopley has ever created. And I was just about to buy some packs again. Not with me. .. 💩
rose cloak
Players: "Hey Scopely please don't put 1000 events in the tab anymore. Use folders."
Scopely: "Hold my beer"
Also, there are 10 milestones in the Solo MS event. The events are every 45 minutes, for 15 minutes. This means 10 hours to complete the milestone. Scopely must really be against the whole "screen time" movement.
And that doesn't even factor in another FACTION HUNT, the non-arc event that takes players the longest active playing to complete
buoyant bison
@rose cloak Couldn’t agree more there. I’ll be skipping this whole arc now and focusing just on the battle pass rewards.
I really don’t understand how they work this stuff out...it’s a absolute joke to bring events out like this before anyone can gain the ship naturally without paying. Jokers 🃏
rose cloak
Also, 8 hours sleep, 8 hours work, 10 hours to complete arc event = 26 hours. Days on Vulcan last 26 hours, 43 minutes and 7 seconds. Scopely just outed themselves as aliens.

idle hazel
its great we get another arc with rewards....cool. Its nice we have a chance to earn some free stuff for a little effort....cool again....but now we have yet another ship to upgrade "if" we so choose to. A ship that uses the UNC stuff we need for ships that are actually relevant in the overall game. The stella...is as close to being a FTP ship as we could get. This one..the discovery....will eat UNC rss away from folks that cant afford to constantly "buy" packs. The folks that do spend constantly...don't even remotely need it...I mean why? I kinda sorta understand the logic of the ship...make a ship available for the low level 30 crowd....and thats AWESOME......BUT you have it locked down for ftp until a week or two from now. There are events going on now that involve the ship. Come on guys....

I have sat here on my phone for almost an hour, and the whole time it shows the event as already over.
I got out of a meeting at 11:15AM and got on immediately but event was over. And no new event has started
So either server 40 is screwed up, or the events aren't displaying even after resetting localization

Scopely, please change officer recruitement back - so we can use ultra recruitment tokens to 'try' and recruit these new officers. Your p*ssing off a lot of players. @prime gulch

sharp token
scopely, you need to STOP doing events when you know they are broken, doing the armada events multiple times when the respawns on armadas were so bad that it was impossible, and now these anomaly events... you need to fix all the bugs related to the events not loading properly before you do this non-sense 7-10 min events, the event is over before you even realize there was an event because new events don't load most of the time without restarting
granite haven
💩 just this.. nice idea but it fails on execution.

I can tell everyone looking through my AC, players are not happy. There are discussions of organised strikes & boycotts.

It's just impossible without the discovery

Fix the damn event.... it takes nearly 10 mins for it to activate on players device so why make it a 10 min event you idiots... 2 anomaly events and i played 4 mins in the first one and 4 seconds in the second

it's not even possible with the discovery
granite haven
Such a shame! I had high hopes for this arc but it's a huge fail. The 3 day armada's ware bad but this...

because the damn events don't load
wild nebula
Its a blatent cash call to the players - milk the players off all the monies
rancid elbow
Don’t worry about the event if you don’t have the discovery, unless you have time to do it 30+ times. Time wise, without the discovery and if you luck into all lvl29 reds, it takes 81 kills to get all 3MS. 81 kills takes 6.75 minutes of battle time alone. Not counting flight time between hostiles. Not to mention competing with 20 other players in the same system. Even with the discovery, it’ll be a stretch to finish within the allotted time.
sharp token
i have the discovery and still couldn't even get a single milestone in the last anomaly event, event had 1 min left by the time i even realized, as i had to restart to see it
rancid elbow
Oh and 30 events is 22.5hrs. So don’t plan on sleeping the next 24 days
sharp token
but in theory, in 11 mins it should be another anomaly event?
technically if you can complete them, you only need 10 events
but that's much easier said than done 
rancid elbow
With the discovery vs lvl29s, it takes 21 kills? So yes, possible, but still is a stretch. Might need 2-3 discoveries to compete with all the hungry mouths in the server
sharp token
18 kills actually, at least with my milestones, possibly less if you get credit for both
but killing 29s with the discovery seems to require a fairly upgraded ship
15 kills if it counts both the "destroy hostiles" and "destroy w/ Discovery"
which it does actually
1 lvl 23 kill gave me 50 pts, 10 + 40
but even still, 15 kills, of which my discovery can't kill even 1 currently, in the span of 7-10 mins, with all the people there? just nope

The mining event just loaded for me with 2 minutes and 45 seconds left to complete

Worst event ever. I'm done with it.
uncut swift
@prime gulch Again, I'm disappointed in the copy paste of arc's without thinking how the game is actually played. If you're going to make discovery a miner, call it a miner. Calling it an explorer makes it fall under the ROE of a battleship. It's underpowered and outgunned because it was never meant to be in a PVP environment. We buy into these arc's for ships that are dispoable when the event ends. After that the ships are worthless along with the money and time we sunk into them. We can't farm swarms with the Franklin. It's PVP and underpowered against every player PVP'ing in the area. We can't farm Bord, same with the Vidar. Dev's can't make a paper tiger EXCEPT against a certain hostile because STFC is a PVP game. I think it sucks the PVP portion is killing the game. But scopley keeps expecting us to sink hundreds of dollars and hours into another worthless ship? The only thing you get it players leaving and more server merges.
obtuse wraith
i received notifications for every fracking armada my alliance did, even for the ones i Started myself ... and now this?!?!

The new anomaly event is the worst. It absolutely needs to be longer. Every time it has started, I can't see it until about 5 min are left and it's basically impossible to complete. It needs to be longer at a minimum like 30 min.

⚠️Guys "Scopely" Seriously 6 mins event pop up events are ridiculous! @prime gulch
Game already has a hard time "refreshing" and updating for normal things. By the time the game refreshes the event is already at 2-3min mark if you are lucky.
- Even with Discovery built, no chance to effectively compete on this limited time events, as the game UI depending on users phone does not refresh properly!!!.

When will Scopely make the burst event visible during play?
spring umbra
Pop up events... Just no
lavish stump
This is a new low for scopely. I get that they rigged an event to encourage us to buy the Discovery. However, the short burst events mean we must be at the game’s back and call all day to attempt the event. There is no respect for our time we must spend to earn the money scopely wants us to give them. On top of this, the system flags in galaxy view and the event updates don’t show up, so I’m forced to restart the game every five minutes for an event that may or may not be going on. After several burst events, I have zero points. As a level 44 player and top raider on server 32, I am a very active player. This event makes me hate the game. @prime gulch
frozen mesa
@lavish stump Totally agree, thinking of moving my time and money to King of Avalon... or Buying a Motorcycle.🚮
median wharf
I just think Scopely doesn't use their own product. Drink your own champagne/dogfooding is a strategy that works for this 👏 specific 👏 reason 👏
I always taught on my teams the notion of doing customer service or using the product firsthand. Nothing builds empathy more than hearing people meltdown about how you're messing their life up, or having to stare down your own decisionmaking and wonder how you arrived there.

pulsar pelican
This is the feedback I sent via support, but I figured I would post it here too.
Just feedback on your Discovery burst events. This has to be the dumbest event I have ever seen, and simply a cash grab by your company to force people to buy a ship they should get free anyway. Does anyone at Scopely do math? There are 32 sessions of 45 minutes in a 24 hour period. Without the discovery, you might get the first tier of reward in each burst event. That means to finish the longer event, I would have to play 22.5 hours straight and not miss a single event, or pay you for a ship I will get free by the end of the arc anyway.
On top of that, in order to even see the event, you have to restart your phone. They don’t pop automatically when they are supposed to.
And lastly, people have school or work for a living, and can’t play these stupid 10 min events all day. Which genius on your dev team decided this was a good idea? Maybe you need a player committee to tell you what good event ideas are, because your company obviously has no clue!
vagrant topaz
Great Discovery anomalie event, the biggest shit event ever in this game and the best is i only see the flaggs after i restart the game.
STFC fix your bugs before you start events like that or you want from me that i restart my computer all 5 minutes?

@prime gulch events not showing up is not a new bug. It has existed for at least months. Restarting once a day isn’t an issue. However, fixing this issue does not resolve the other issues with burst events. Please delete them from existence and let us all forget the last couple of hours...
vagrant topaz
Yes, this bug has been around since I started playing the game, so for over 3 months, one of the biggest bugs in the game! I have to restart the computer several times a day or I won't get the reward of the previous day, nor will I see the new events.
So far it was "half as bad" because you know the main events start at 18pm, then you can reboot at 18:01, but now you don't know when and you had to reboot every few minutes, that's not possible at all.

vagrant topaz
Scopely, Ever damn person hates this event, except Hanlon who may be being sarcastic. You can announce the system with a 5min timer until til the announcement if you want anybody to enjoy this content
forest orchid
This is a mobile game. People shouldn't need to spend 7 hours on the game EVEN WITH THE DISCOVERY to complete all 30 miletones. This is ridiculous. The anomalous event needs to have more reasonable targets per milestone, and set the milestones for Chaotic space to be 1 Anomaly milestone per milestone. Better yet, cap it at 5 Chaotic Space milestones and double the reward for each (to keep the same amount of rewards as the original). That way, people only need to spend 3.5 hours camped on the phone (which is still a lot for many, juggling between all the other events to do).
Option 2: As someone suggested earlier, extend the length of the anomalies. Maybe to 15 mins. Also up the hostile spawns (while the event is active), and cap the Chaotic Space milestones to 5 and double each reward.
tribal fox
@prime gulch now event is closed do we get compensation for alliance event too

@vagrant topaz i think Hanlons was paid to say that 🤣

@forest orchid There isn't that much money. Scopely is holding someone hostage. 😂

It is one thing to frack up content. That largely implies, "made a mistake". This was down right intentional. Absolute horse manure!

@stray harbor I've worked for teams in similar spots. The third party software biz can be a little screwy for this stuff
they may not have to pay explicitly, but there may be an expectation of revenue. The source of the pressure is different, but it comes down as the same pressure
stray harbor
I understand. Show biz is shady.

Maybe the Scopely engineers decided this anomaly event was a nice way to fix the random crashes. If people voluntarily restart the game every 45 min, these random crashes don’t happen so much. 🤣🙈

@prime gulch I have not received my compensation for Lat Rush. Yes I completed all milestones but could have featured in the solo leaderboard had Scopely not messed up the deployment. So can you please provide an update for that. Yesterday it was announced compensation would be coming today. Some very unhappy players at present, especially after todays shaningans.

that's what i'm saying! crowdsource the bugs
dim whale
Feedback - I don’t even know where to start, I have no words. Fortunately it should be obvious even to Scopely this was a steaming pile of 💩
wild nebula
I feel for devs. It was clear that this is timed to occur on Star Trek day. The devs probably didnt have much say in the timescale. This was a management/business decision
We should also have some sympathy for CMs and Mods. Again, they are caught up in this mess as much as we the players. So my gratitude to @prime gulch and others for putting up with a somewhat hostile player base. When the s**t hits the fan, they take the brunt of customer anger.
pulsar pelican
@wild nebula if Scopely actually listened to what their players say, they wouldn’t have a hostile player base or mods to feel bad for.
median wharf
ehhh I normally have the same stance but people were asking in the Q&A earlier this week about bug fixes and were getting brushed aside in a really dismissive manner. I think people's ire is well founded. This isn't a new bug. People have been bringing it up since it first showed up earlier in the year.

If after, that impacts a lot of players because of their possibility to utilize the discovery refinery tokens to get discovery recruits and change their leaderboard standing....
Specifically, the "report to the bridge" leaderboards....
midnight knoll
@prime gulch j have to admit that this update isn't that bad. The glitches repaired are mostly well done.
The adapted missions to the level makes them way better.
The idea of the discovery is good allowing to gain different mats, unfortunately the event was broken.
All in all imo one of the better updates. Thanks

Event feed back..... Why does scopely continually release poor content.... Customer satisfaction is at an all-time low with people leaving the game... at what point will scopely clean out the dead wood developers and start getting real about customer satisfaction and deliver a quality product.....

@little plover it's been the same event over and over since swarm...except after swarm we get some junk ftp officers and the good officers are locked behind packs..and it takes an act of Congress to get any of them added to the recruit unlock options we have now....how long did it take for the others? Like 6 months???
Any officer that has a shot of giving a player a benefit is locked behind money

@idle hazel the game has be come pay to play since the franchise royalties need to be paid... There's a reason you don't see 7 of 9 her royalties are to high. The game as a whole is royalties based hence the pay to play.

Issue with Discovery Mission. I’m stuck at One of Our Own, as the mission requires to defeat the USS Chaloner. At Level 40, the ship is 4.3M, which is absurd for a monthly battle pass mission. Dial down the difficulty if players are paying.

@analog fossil @winged axle I feel like my version of that ship was much more tame... at ops 31, mine was only about 150k power. While yes, at 40 they SHOULD have a ship that can do that, but comparable strength of the two mission hostiles seems off.
winged axle
Yes because you are in a brackets with lower levels while he is in a bracket with higher levels than him
I am not sure but 2 of the brackets are lvl26-39 and lvl40-50 I think

It’s a good change. These arc missions have always been too easy. They may have overdone it a bit though

So we got the anomaly compensation but what about the stuff for people who got discovery prior to the announcement @prime gulch
vocal violet
The gauntlet event for final Outlaws arc is horrible for the following reasons:
(1) PVE competitions resulted in a PVP event.
(2) There is no bracketing or points limits to reduce unfair matchups. E.g. on Server 31 our level 50 whale is simply sitting in the system and destroying everyone. He's choosing who he allows into the system to score points. One way to reduce this would have been different pts mechanism. E.g. 5+ levels lower than you = 0 pts, 2-4 levels lower = 1 pt, +/- 1 level = 3 pts, +2-4 level = 5 pts, +5 level = 10 pts.
(3) I duplicate point 1 here because this is so crucial. We had fun (?) competing in PVE events to get to this point. Now that we're here you use a completely different game mechanic to score us? I just have to say, that's like, so lame. 😦
(4) Rewards are meh, at least to me.
modern fractal
The “early adopter” gift for purchasing a discovery we don’t need for an event that doesn’t exist is very small and over-all pretty worthless
vivid belfry
Gauntlet event is truly unacceptable. As above PvE turned into a PvP, WTAF? Level balancing is not taken into account. The higher level players are going to dominate the event by ship strength and crew maxed.
If you had to use a PvP event, limit it to common ships like Phindra, Turas, & Talla.
The rewards are substandard for the length of time invested in the event.
This is a tremendous disappointment for the effort that the players put into reaching this point.

I wish I could see what is going on in the system to be an observer. They could have made the system visible to non players to watch the fun.

Gauntlet event should have been announced yesterday.

it would be nice for the system to be viewable by everyone so alliance mates that can’t participate can still spectate.

it would also be nice for all players to be able to watch the results of the event even though they aren’t participating.

our server 'pvp' arena will look like this for next few days
maybe cause we not as mature server as some others? but literally one player can just sit and make it pointless for others to come 👍
the only way around it is to make deals with other teams...which kinda defeats the point
otherwise people wouldnt even get single point and no reward
quasi torrent
gauntlet event just a 2 ship and one alliance event, since two top ships grant other alliance members... well done Scopy 👍
Thats is Hammi!

should limit to certain ships as others suggested, higher levels wouls still be advantage because of research and crew but not make it impossible for certain players to even score

Standard Scopley BS at it again.

so many ways to do it better, scopely couldnt think in one... give just one point for loosing and 100 for winning, would be more interesting to spend at least one of that 50 warp tokens...
onyx karma
Only way for scopely to get the message is total boycott. Don’t spend a penny on it, don’t do any of the Discovery events, don’t build the USS Discovery. If it is a monetary flop and just a bunch of failed events then maybe they will get a clue.

Dont have info about it but probably no
sharp raven
Implement a working PvP system before starting a PvP event
My 2 cents
abstract pier
Feedback: this PvP event is broken. People will not come to the arena if they don't think they can kill any ships, which means they won't score any points. There needs to be a different points system. Perhaps adding points for battles period (similar to the previous PvP events) or maybe adding points for time in the zone or capturing/holding nodes created in the system. This will give people a reason to go there even if they have to fight or run away from bigger ships.

Hey, there are some ideas.
I am disinclined to play in this gauntlet event at all as it stands. I worked really hard to get access to this event and am VERY disappointed.
I suppose I'm not surprised, but definitely disappointed.

Trust me it’s not more exciting seeing into the system... you’ll see the 5 biggest ships on the server sitting, waiting for any smaller (smaller = all other ships) to enter the system and pick them off as soon as they arrive... there is no activity in the system now, since most qualifiers have figured out they can’t even score a point...

USS Chaloner is way overpowered, it shows as 4.3 million, I hit with 2.8 mill augur and did 10% damage and went poof, but fraction lvl 41 ship is 4.8 mil power and I can kill dozens of those with that same ship. the rest of the ships in the missions chain are around 130K, it is bugged, but support gives run around about it

It might be Overpowered but it is not bugged - mission enemies are stronger and PVE crews don’t work on them
The generally function like PvP ships

icy nexus
Could have made gauntlet better to balance whales ability to dominate. Couple ideas
- Scaled cost of warp cells, 1 cell per million power, little guy gets more chances
- Change to warp for that system, simple as increasing charge time to 30 or 60 seconds. Like other games battle timer, can't leave until been out of battle for x minutes?
past fossil
If you have a Jellyfish or another Epic maybe you can two/three tap it but doubtful
Think you need closer to 3.4 power

Jelly is at 41/120 before I get it, though I do have 80K in Unccomon gas ready for it when I get it and all my epic ships are around 2.5mil are higher

If you have good anti Fed officers(maxes ideally) they do work vs it
faint scaffold
@prime gulch Scopley need to be more upfront with details of new ships. It’s not possible to upgrade the Discovery by just playing the game and grinding. You have to either pay to buy spore components or win tokens in broken events that you then use for the chance of getting a small number of spore components from chest pulls. Full ships stats for each tier should also be made available. Even at tier 3 with 300% officer bonus the Discovery’s power is ridiculously low and I don’t see how it can get much higher. The warp range is also criminally low. If I’d known I was paying for a ship I couldn’t upgrade and that’s too underpowered to be used for anything in the game I wouldn’t have bought it. Anyone know how to request a refund? I really wanted Discovery to be great, but unfortunately it’s a huge disappointment and I’ve been left with serious buyer’s remorse.
thin kite
I still think they overpowered it, especially since the next ship in the chain is only 133K, why jump it to 4.3 that we can see on front end but under the table increase it by such a large factor it poofs your current tank ship, then drops the power down to 133K for the next ship in the chain, the logic in it baffles me

This final gauntlet event is a complete half-arsed joke
People are dropping tags to team up to get points, so there is no possibility that the best players win. What a joke after such a large investment of time and money
Events should be your lifeblood. This could have been a well planned tiered battle to the final winner
That would have been something people looked forward to a couple of times a year maybe.

Think he means events should the lifeblood of the game and therefore carefully & thoughtfully planned out & executed.

Events are surely the only thing keeping many players active in this game, so yes from Scopely's ongoing life with this title does hinge on successful events.
Trying to understand the benefit of mocking feedback. You must have gained some personal satisfaction, as there was certainly no benefit to this forum
lament urchin
To be honest about that Gauntlet event:
-players lvl43+ with 6m power ships „competing“ in PVP vs players lvl31 with some 1,2m ship....inventing that kind of event surely required alot of braincells....NOT. Creating these kind of special events is some collossal fail.
The literally only good thing in that event was: Teamworking in top50 qualifier event to get 24/50 of the same alliance in top50....and pushing out some others who desperately wanted in (but failed😂)
rose cloak
If the USS Chaloner is supposed to scale, then why as a level 29 was mine only like a 200K power ship? You say I'm supposed to kill 25 lv 37 faction ships (~850K power) but apparently I can only handle 200K for a quest mob? I honestly don't remember what the Chaloner was because I blasted it to pieces before I realized I had fought it. I kept expecting to see some beast ship appear based on the feedback, but apparently it's only the high level people that are getting screwed.
winged axle
@rose cloak brackets aren't the best that is why. 0-10,11-25,26-39 and 40+ if I am not mistaken these are the brackets and how hard/rewarding your mission will be depends on which bracket you are in
rose cloak
So is the ship powered for the minimum level of the bracket, AKA I fought a USS Chaloner meant for lvl 26?

Quick question for those of us who don't have gauntlet: when does it end and when are we getting alliance events again?

@wicked pike it was originally supposed to last 3 days, so I would assume Sunday at the earliest, maybe Monday at the latest for resuming alliance events.

@winged axle i like the idea of them, but the implementation was not great. Even if the "spawning" of the event problem was not fixed, if they had it run for a full 15 or 20 minutes per cycle, it would have done better. Then, there could also be a SLB where those with a discovery could excel because they get there that much faster.
7 minutes is just not enough time
I had 3 ships there and could barely get 1 milestone (in a 28 system)
meager bough
If you're going to make a gauntlet event with 50 people, at least allow those 50 people to qualify for their own event they qualified for. The logic that went into this event is non-existant and a complete slap in the face for anyone who tried spending their resources to make it there.

So @tranquil arch thinks “winning” a pvp event is working with friends bringing in Dvors and suiciding on each other’s ship - sums the event up really 🤣
I’ve got 40 odd tokens left and in the spirit of actual pvp trying to win real combat, not just running around like a clown and suiciding on team mates when threatened or “bravely” killing Dvors to win points.

@prime gulch I wanted to take time away from the game to thank you and your team for an event today that is impossible for me to complete. Since this event requires a ship I do not have and cannot get, it once again demonstrates the lack of thought and care put into new events. As each day of this arc continues, I find more and more reasons to take more and more time away from the game...and spend less and less money!!!

@lavish stump even if you had one you probably wouldn’t do it. I’m not spending billions of trit in repairs to do that event. Not to mention the hours and hours it would take to find non-heavy transports to kill 70 of them...
Full repair of my g4 faction ships are ~280m trit including maxed research for my level (45). No thanks. Eve is looking better and better every day...
Just killed one with my ktinga. 70 kills, based on the one with pike/Moreau/Chen would cost 490m trit and 12.9m dil including cost reductions... no thanks

Its hostile hunt
pliant bloom
@prime gulch the PvP gauntlet was a great idea but it has gone stale. The system is empty. People are trading kills for points and everyone else feels left out. Wouldn’t it have been good to give everyone on the server a warp token to that system, and the 50 qualifiers an extra 49 tokens? That would provide more targets for the qualifiers, and after the rest of the players had gone once, they could at least watch the battles for the rest of the event.
There would still be time to implement that for the last day... it would make the event much more dynamic... and not so biased towards players with huge ships or those who trade kills overnight when everyone else is sleeping
On my server 15 of the players who qualified haven’t showed up at the arena once because they aren’t at all interested in PvP, it’s not their play style. And others who would love to participate have been left out....
ebon wharf
Regarding Report to the Bridge event alliance reward - I didn’t receive the alliance reward because I didn’t get a point as an individual. I had the opportunity to score a point, but because my alliance’s standing was firmly set with no place to go up or down, I thought it was best to stay put and not waste.
Events like CoW explicitly list a minimum for alliance rewards where as Report to the Bridge doesn’t. If I’d known there was an individual minimum, I would have met it. But I can’t find anywhere in game or on Discord that says as much.

So, before event was pulled off because not working, I send a message to support...
This is their answer. After the event was pull off because not working.... That s it s MY fault for not having an app updated 🤣
Hello Commander, the fault events are flash events (each lasting 7 or 10 minutes), running every 45 minutes. There are 2 types of events: extraction and hostile hunt. These are new dynamic events! Don't worry, you won't be able to finish all the events and that's normal! Their duration and frequency simply allows players to participate at any time during the day, depending on availability. If you can't see these events correctly, it means that you don't have the latest version of the game available. Please update your game and it will come back in order. If there is anything else, please do not hesitate to contact us again! Long Live and Prosperity 🖖

Seriously Scopely the lvl 40 event kill hostiles with G4 faction ship? The amount of incompetence it takes to pull that off is impressive.

Scopely want all 40 + to quit the game that’s why the missions are made unplayable and daily events impossible we lost a 41 last night again. On our server they are dropping like flys.

This arc is an unmitigated shambles so far. Even the ship is a crushing disappointment given the massive potential it had for new mechanics for PvP and events. 5 new officers, 3 of them a total waste of time.

That event your doing tomorrow is messed up because not everyone will be able to participate. I work 3rd shift in the east coast of the US and ill be asleep, and I like a lot of others including those who work 2nd and some who work long on 1st wont be able to participate. So 1 hour out of 24 is really poor planning. 1 hour for any event is kind of stupid. But then again were kind of getting used to it. People on here have lives outside of this game,and bad choices for events like this one takes a lot of the fun out of it, and combined with all the other issues in the game,, makes people think about getting off the game altogether.

Strength in Numbers: The Event did not appear on the events page until after I had closed the program and reloaded it, so I missed 20 minutes of it. It should appear automatically without a reload! After a frantic time mining spores and killing the aliens, I looked at the rewards and they were very disappointing! I felt sorry for those aliens. It was like a pack of piranhas attacking a helpless animal.

This issue mentioned by @brisk osprey was reported by several others of my alliance. Event only appeared after a complete restart of the Game.

Complaint on gauntlet event: i worked VERY hard as a 27 to qualify for the final gauntlet event. Being a pvp event, i got smacked by everybody because they are 30+. Now, i don't even get the special frame for participating because I couldn't win against anyone! All 50 that qualified should be rewarded for our efforts if the game makes it unwinnable for some of us. Im very unhappy about spending money to guarantee placement and didn't even get a fair shake in the event
slender jay
Our alliance worked pretty hard to qualify some low level players, but we also did get points for everyone in the alliance by getting some of us leave and feed the points to those that needed.
Some alliances weren't that lucky, an alliance getting 5 through had 3 not show up, out of total of 4 that did not score.
Gauntlet should have given out points even on losing to have a carrot to keep the ships in even after they are wounded and would have guaranteed that everyone got their base prize.
And as an EU player, I feel like a promise that there would not be any alliance events during the Gauntlet was broken, as the Strength in Numbers event started while Gauntlet was still going on.
dusk timber
Definitely! Should have been like regular pvp events. 3 for a win, 1 for a loss. Then everyone could have "participated" instead of wasting money, rss, and effort to even get to the final gauntlet
south sluice
I loved the Strength in Numbers event, especially the challenge of finding the double points sector. Time was easy to work out using google, no complaint there. Rewards were not sufficient for the effort involved, should have been more. Would love to see this again, preferably at the weekend.
vagrant topaz
@dusk timber You're not alone on that. Saw it with 30s, etc. Should have been tiered.
And in the 40+ crowd, the winners on our server had the admiral of another alliance go over and trade kills to get their group to own the top 5. Scopely encourages that either consciously or unconsciously, and it's gotten pretty old.
Pay, play cheap, win. Yay. LOL.

Strength in numbers is a joke. It’s an alliance event but lower level members don’t get points. They never stated that it was only certain levels that could participate.

This event is not scoring correctly. We have 71/73 people in our alliance, and at least 30 have completed their Data mining event, but according to the numbers only 8 people have finished.

Hey Scopely, I didn't get to participate in the strength in numbers event. But thank you for showing me the results when it was over. Insult to injury? Check.
To be clear, the event never showed up for me despite multiple resets.

Strength in numbers event was so glitchy that I had to tap on my screen 20 times just to destroy 1 hostile. doesn't seem like a clean and fair event when lag was a serious issue. Even resetting 4 times didn't help. @prime gulch
potent depot
The lag was horrible and multiple members had to restart to see the event
It was also virus impossible to tell who was actually scoring more real time. Someone had to watch the alliance member scope and see who was climbing faster. The live results made no sense.

@dusk timber @slender jay @vagrant topaz I submitted a ticket in game. The response was that was an alliance event, it required you to score a point. I replied this was not an alliance event, it was an individual event. I think scopely has committed yet another false and deceptive trade practices, or a manipulative trade practice. I too spent money to qualify for the gauntlet event.

it has been always like that in ALBs

@meager oriole When my flowers need fertilizing, I submit a ticket. Granted, I encourage others to do it in the hope of a deluge, but honestly, I'm not convinced that the customer service department could pass a Turing test.
@tired oar Yeah, Scopely's one hour events are horrid in that they expect you to drop everything for their events.
meager oriole
@winged axle this was an individual event, not an ALB
winged axle
which one are you guys talking about?
meager oriole
The gauntlet pvp event over the weekend. And, it is milestones, not ALBs that require participation.
winged axle
and have you scored at least 1 point during that event? last one wasnt milestones,instead it was SLB(solo leaderboard)
meager oriole
@winged axle I qualified for the PvP event. I participated - meaning I sent a ship and lost a battle. There was no STATED requirement to score a point. The only STATED requirement to get rewards was participation.
Scopely is clear in their events, alliance milestones that is, when a player needs to score a point to get rewards. No alliance leaderboards that I can recall require an alliance member to score a point to get rewards. Only alliance milestones. The Gauntlet PvP event was NOT an alliance event in any case.
dim whale
Like all events the scoreboard was posted, along with the bands to score points, and you only appeared on the scoreboard if you scored a point. Zeros were not shown on the scoreboard as scoring rewards.
It was also a terrible event.

@languid marlin - we have asked the team to review announcements. It seems only the English version was updated with new dates.

@iron python appreciate the response. In our fairly active alliance, we had 6 people participate. The Strength in Numbers event was a bust. Just, no one cared to do it on top of it being during a busier time of day for people.

@languid marlin - I did it, but the timing wasn't great and I had to quit early for dinner. It was also challenging with so many people packed into each system, causing bugs.
So I totally understand.

I can tell you that the CCs and Mods try quite hard to relay player sentiments. I wish we could do more. Not sure if it makes you feel any better to know there ARE advocates, but we do try.

I certainly do appreciate it and I can imagine it gets frustrating at times. I just don’t get how a company as cast as Scopely can’t understand the requirements of SDL and proper methods for mitigating these types of issues. sigh

What's the deal with the TFB Heroic event? At lvl 17 with a franklin, it requires lvl 19 swm for 10 points, but the Franklin can only be tier 1 at lvl 17 and can't even reach lvl 19 swarm system. Or am I missing something?

Heroic event: I just hit shipyard level 17 this morning. I haven't had an opportunity to buy a Franklin, and I have to kill L18 swarms? I can maybe level my Turas enough to kill ONE. But the event requires 105(!). I think the levels are off a level. 17 and 18s would have made more sense than 18/19s for a L17 player.

@dusk timber thats why you just organise with another player to trade kills, so you both were able to get at least 1 point on the leader board. or have someone from your alliance drop their alliance tag and kill them, it wasn't that hard to figure out

@stone void what crew are you using?? use Cadet Uhura, as Cap, Cadet McCoy, and Tlaan.
stone void
@uneven relic yes that is the crew I'm using. Turas is roughly 23k I believe. I can do about 75% damage on a Level 18 swarm. I could send two ships and kill one. But then I'd have to do that 105 times...
With travel time I might be done by Sunday ha
uneven relic
haha yea it can be tough to start off with, what we would do to help our smaller players was we'd use a small ship and go kill in there and damage them so they were smaller hits for our lower players, so maybe someone or a couple in your alliance can help.
stone void
@uneven relic just seems like a lot of grief to go through. Maybe if the requirement were 10 kills or something. I think most in our alliance aren't completing this event bc the levels seem off by 1 and they can't do it. And also it's just so many. And the ship designed to do it (franklin) can't even get to the L19 areas.
uneven relic
@stone void yup but even if you can do a few runs it will help to be able to upgrade the franklin to be able to do it,
Its a balance, its about levelling at the best times, know what the requirements are for the next levels, the requirements change on the EVEN levels,
Also do the Franklin Research, that is what helps the most in doing the swarm, you will get there, it does and can take time, if you can grow the franklin, use that as a semi base for your level up requirements, then that can help be a pointer if you are ready or not to level up.
and yes some events you may not be able to complete the whole thing, but doing the swarm with what you can will help give you whats needed for upgrading it 🙂
what are the swarm requirements for your swarm event today? there will be 2 different point level you can kill
orchid oracle
For lvl 17 TFB heroic is 105 points. 10 for 19s which the Franklin can't even reach because the warp part you get at lvl 18. Or 1 point for lvl 18 which my lvl 5 Franklin can kill about 10 of properly crewed. The ftp players in my alliance cannot kill a single lvl 18 swarm.
It just seems like an error on scopely's part to have the lvl 19 be the max reward at a lvl that the ship they sell to kill swarm can't get to yet.
stone void
@uneven relic I can't do any of it. I know that it sounds like I'm just complaining, but I keep up with research and my base/ships are leveled. A whole lot happens at L18/19 that allow for stronger G2 ships. A L17 can't kill a L18 without the franklin, and like @orchid oracle mentions, the franklin at L17 can't reach the L19 areas.
I've been playing the game a little over a month. This is the first event I haven't been able to complete. Most I can complete very quickly. This one I have no shot of even getting the first milestone.
torpid quarry

@orchid oracle yes you're missing scopely's business model :). Buy the 100$ packs to make them happy.
orchid oracle
If it were the regular swarm Sunday event that might be OK, but most of my alliance is pissed because they have no chance at the battle pass points.
mild river
I need to know what alliance members are contributing to the apex totals and which are not. An alliance breakdown like most other alliance events would be helpful.
Id love it to list all of my players and thier point totals and a way to message players right from the alliance breakdown. Tracking alliance events currently involves too much out of game data collection and comparison to reveal the non or low performing players.

Why someone who already got the avatar would automatically classify for another event run with the same avatar? If you separate the events, should be with the intention of letting others get the avatar, right ?

Day 2 of TFB Herioc - L17 FTP players still can't complete this. And even if I decided to shell out some money today, I can't buy the franklin because it's not Sunday. Again, it would be nice if Herioc was L17/18 swarms. I can get 4 L17 in one pass, so it would take some work, but doable. L18 - not even close without the Ship Yard hull upgrades or Franklin.

Hey, it would be great if every Alliance based event have a participation points counter. It's very difficult to tell who's contributing or not to certain events like this Apex one.

One of our players is using all 3 ships to take out one lvl 19 swarm, then repairing then doing it again. Sound fun to you?
orchid oracle
The second time they tried it with the same 3 ships and failed. Must have got some lucky critical hits the fist time. So now they get to repair all 3 ships and don't get the 10 points.

@stone void try to add C Scotty for range, since the Franklin is designed for you you can worry less about one of the other officers. Also, how well leveled are your offices? Their levels help as much as ship level. What about research, have you thrown everything you can at combat, particularly explorer class research?

Server 41 player here, anomaly events are MUCH better now
Starting on the hour so easier to be ready for, and longer timers, 12-15 minutes each. Most players in my alliance are having them pop up too. Discovery makes them super easy as well.

@mellow wasp thats good to hear, main thing is are they coming up without having to restart the app??
mellow wasp
Not always I'm afraid. I stopped doing them after I got the milestone completed (they reduced it to 15 points total from 30 as I recall previously) so I don't know how they were all day, but at times I wouldn't have it at the beginning of the hour and would restart to get the event. Others showed up on their own, but sometimes a little late. Going to the store section or events section and back out seemed to also sometimes get it to pop. With the longer time and not having to remember 45 minutes from the start of the previous, it is very manageable. They are also quite easy to complete now that most have their Discoverys.
fringe tree
Discovery sucks. Collecting dust. Completely useless ship. Can I get a refund please
rose cloak
Well the anomaly event is at least doable now, since people have free discovery and there is 15 minutes. Still a little tight for T1/T2, but doable. So that's a little win at least.
vagrant topaz
Really, are you kidding me. You brought that ridiculous event back?! Even if you were capable of killing the strongest hostile without a discovery you still need to kill 50 ships in 10 minutes when there are 20 hostiles and a hundred ships in the system. And really, kill three with Discovery or 200 without in 10 minutes

No matter what this new event, we are 50 on the same hostile ... it just makes you want to stop the game ... thank you!

Must be server differences. Server 40 it actually ran smoothly this go around (on first attempt it was hot garbage).
And no they said they were going to reduce the number of milestones in total (it was 30, now it's 15 to complete). And rewards are the same.
The 10/15 was the event used to be 10 minutes, now it's 15 minutes.

tribal ravine
my take on the whole thing is .. when I land on a mine and it takes 5-10s to start mining, and I attack a hostile and it doesn't always engage and/or does so with a delay .. and as soon as the event is over it is fine .. there is obviously an extra compute part of the objects in those systems that is required to pull off the event. We now get reliable notifications of the events, the efficiency of the cpu cycles required to process the events themselves needs a few iterations of effort throw at it . My $.02 ..
I'm curious why the backend doesn't catch the kills/mining reports when ships pull off mines vs tracking when you land on the mine and/or engage the hostile before battle begins? It's like a new department introduced new spiffy ideas into the code on how we should do this better, and in order to save some effort they royally missed the performance metric by a mile ...
no I don't work for scopely nor have I ever seen any of scopely's code. Just been around the block a few times and would be honestly curious how close I am in the above analysis to reality 😉

This anomaly event is a waste of time.
Too many players fighting over too few hostiles. Get a couple kills if you are lucky then BOOM go repair for an hour or dump speed ups to maybe get another kill or two.
Not worth the effort.
gleaming goblet
Great fix for this anomaly event! 5 systems to kill hostiles in great idea!! 5-10 ships at every respawn point trying to kill 1-3 hostiles at a time. If your program can’t handle all the systems then just give us players the mats until you figure out a permanent fix. Cause it’s a flat out joke right now.
sleek scroll
Please turn anomaly events back off. At least the first time, I wasn't in a rage trying to attack the same hostile 15 times only to have some insert impolite term who already finished the event steal the kill from halfway across the system because they're too smooth-brained to realize and/or care they're making other people unable to participate.
Pure garbage. You owe everyone who paid for the discovery a refund.

Worst event ever Ship is horrible Can’t get the resources to upgrade the ships because the ship can’t get there. And why would I want to waste any of the already stretches resources I have on this useless ship. As for the anomalies you have to grind it out with ships that are slow as molasses. Lucky to get 1 or 2 points an hour for total crap rewards. All while the real rewards not to mention the points for story arc which actually give you decent rewards are in the faction hunts running at the same time. If think I’m gonna spend 12 hours trying the get the points I need for the solo anomaly event instead of doing the already never ending grind of the faction hunt youve lost it. You guy with all the stupid new content are making me not want to spend any more money on your game because all you deliver is garbage value.

This event is designed like a job. Two milestones per run (realistic goal) implies 7-8 runs for full completion, meaning being available to log in for 15 for 7h time window. That’s insane if you have job, family, social life and other things.
Maximum amount of event runs you’d need to complete should be 3-4. Not 7-8

Even the damn mining events!!!! I can't mine if I can't get a connection to actually do anything!!!
arctic talon
This event sucks
nimble dragon
Still too much lag and glitchy. Can’t target ships or I get invalid ship location. The anomaly events are unplayable

Impossible to do event, I drive a truck not a desk😡😡😡

15 min event is so bad and lag - won't do this anymore. to glitchy, tons of ghost ships, mines completely overloaded - no fun...
torpid saddle
I managed event no problems. My issue is the distortion rings aren't a token?
winged axle
only for scoring purposes
torpid saddle
Yup, my suggestion is give them value
wet vale
Anomaly events are not fun or interesting. Only way they're completeable right now is if you restart app on the -3min mark, insta-warp to a system as soon as you see the list, and get your kills done in the first minute or two before the swarms start to arrive.
I'm mining mycelium that i can't refine because you've rewarded more from previous events than the discovery can hold, killing hostiles that drop nothing useful, all for events which drop paltry rewards. T2 discovery, having to be online for 5 hours to do each event on the hour, gets me a full refine which gave me 70 spore drive parts. Not even enough for one component.
inland tulip
Even when trying to play this event the right way this is still broken. Client side caching in the last two hours resulted in me seeing a system from the previous hour's event show up as a mining target. Sent miners, they finished mining, but no event credit. Checked galaxy map again and system was no longer marked. With no time left to get to one of the marked systems I lost out.
frank sequoia
Another lie in Scopely mathematics... I was level 33 and to tier 1 reward I needed 67k points. So I did upgrade the ops level, used the accelerators and after completing the upgrade I found that I do not have a reward, but the number of points for tier 1 reward increased to 100k. So you deprived me of my reward!!! In game support is incompetent, as usual... bla bla bla.

Where was the black alert event yesterday ffs?
After today we have two more days of anomolous
toxic sinew
Having the anomaly events so frequent inhibits participation in other events. Unless I am only playing the game (which I usually am not) there is a limited window to do things like faction hunt. If something else comes up in that window, it isn’t worth sending a ship out for that and then recalling it for the anomaly.
sleek scroll
The event is still borked. Get it right or give up.
analog vector
Hourly events to get people to play more? Having the opposite effect! I am not dedicating my day to this game. Looking for an alternate game to play. Goodbye STFC
dense anchor
you ruined the entire concept of the Discovery by listening to the whiners who gave you bad feedback on the first day/single server when you tested the anomaly events. the whole point of that ship is that it can jump instantly across the map, so the concept you had in which the anomaly events would appear randomly made sense, but now that they a) appear at predictable times, and b) you tell us several minutes ahead of time where we need to be, you took away all point in having the new ship. it has no advantage at all. good job ruining your own concept by listening to bad feedback from people who clearly didn’t “get it”.
plain vortex
More than 5 systems should be active for the anomalous events they get super crowded

They do need to realize that some servers are far more crowded than others

weak rivet
Your events are BS. Just mined 3200 mycelium, but apparently not in the right world so got no points.
vagrant topaz
I will probably stop playing stfc like so many others lately.
The reason is you Scopely, you're holding us up with way too many events and mini events every day for the whole month, you don't let us breathe, even for me 16+ hours a day is way too much, even though I don't have a family.
It's not possible that I have to invest at least 12+ hours a day to complete all the daily goals, events and lately also mini events. Your Anomaly Events and the next event ship discovery is the biggest bullshit you have ever implemented. You are aware that the Franklin takes a lot of time to level up? Then we have the Ferengi, the Vidar and now mini events for the Discovery + Daily Goals, but apart from that you're still doing fine?
We are supposed to do the whole thing with 3 dry docks? I would actually need 4-5 docks with OPS25, but no I only have 3... 17,5k resources I have to mine as well, how do you imagine that?
Your totally disabled anomaly events ruin the whole game. We have to be ready every hour and in the meantime we can't do our daily goals because 50min is not enough time, if I have to mine 45min g3 mat then I would have to stop because I don't have a free dock for the anomaly event, I have to mine 17,5k resources for 2 factions per day (with OPS25), that takes 8 hours and then you come around the corner with a crappy discovery event ship and events that run every hour. I have almost no time to level my Franklin anymore, because I have to level the Discovery as well as the Dvor + Vidar. IT IS TOO MUCH and a pity for all the money I invested lately!
i fly almost 10min to my faction NPC day targets and it takes min 45-55min to shoot my ship down, that's too short, then i miss the anomaly event.
I say it again, you are not letting us breathe air!
When do I complete my missions? When do I level my Franklin? When the Vidar? The Dvor also has to farm latinum all the time and she is full with a super node every 1.5 hours, then I need a ship holding the super node for 15min again... When should we do all this?
There are still the many day events + currently the 3 HUNT events that take up enough time for themselves, when should we do this? Oh with OPS27 comes the Stella as well... Sorry but you are really not right anymore!
vagrant topaz
When I hear what all the OPS28 players are saying to the refinery, I feel bad. All have bottlenecks with uc *3 material...
Your package prices are a cheek anyway, everything is way too expensive, that's what you get + the above average bugs.
I have never played a game that is so buggy.
Your greed is destroying the game!
vagrant topaz
Since the Anomaly Event is running you can see unused super nodes everywhere, this shows very clearly that people have no time and no free dock for the Latinum mining, at the latest here should be your alarm bells ringing!
I'm certainly not an average player, I spend most of my time in our alliances, but even for me it's too much. There is no way I will buy another event ship after the Discovery, we already have way too many! Which is also because of the very shitty refining yield and the many parts you need for every ship, because it takes too long to refine the necessary uc/c *3 mats & the prices in the store are not only exaggerated, they are a cheek!
ornate grail
Yeah we have suggested play improvements and bug fixes but scopely have anymore intrrested in money events.
dark sonnet
How do the Ops 40+ feel about the rebalancing of missions in the Discovery arc? As a lvl 40 myself I’m stuck at “The Devil you know” because I don’t have a ship with warp range 80. Also The USS Chaloner at 4.4 million power was a kick in the face. @warped sierra requested feedback on the scaling of missions during these arcs and my feedback is that Scopely made it too hard for lvl 40+. <@&509690795536941056>

We have to be ready every hour and in the meantime we can't do our daily goals because 50min is not enough time, if I have to mine 45min g3 mat then I would have to stop because I don't have a free dock for the anomaly event, I have to mine 17,5k resources for 2 factions per day (with OPS25), that takes 8 hours and then you come around the corner with a crappy discovery event ship and events that run every hour.
@vagrant topaz
There’s something wrong if it takes you 8 hours to mine 35k g3 mats. Officers? Envoy maxed?
kind cipher
I also dual faction takes me just under 4 hours to mine 35k g3 mats or “2x 17.5k”
And 90% of it is afk
Level 25 ops here as well
vagrant topaz
Oh man... whether it takes 3.5 hours or 4 is nevertheless shit, here it concerns the principle! We have to play too many hours every day to handle all the events and daily goals, it's just too much and from time to time they don't leave us any room to take a breath Every day there are new events coming and with these crappy anomaly events there are now also mini events every hour, so all the other daily goals get stuck and we still need more repair
I have the Vidar that need 30-45min time every day, i have the franklin that normal need 3h every day but i have not so much time for the franklin, that the Dvor is all 1,5-3h full, now we need every hour 1 ship for this stupid event and so on....
ITS TO MUCH'!

Here’s an idea don’t do it all pick and choose what you want to do lol. I don’t do hostile discovery events cause it’s a pia till they fix it. Nowhere does it say you have to complete everything

I am not the only one who finds it too much to handle. Yesterday 3 people on our server gave up the game, all 3 for the same reason, the game eats too much time... They were not small players.

That’s another option play a different game if it causes too much anxiety doesn’t sound like fun
I don’t spend money on this game at all and don’t complete a lot of stuff cause it’s not fun, I do what is

Also, many of the new events are pay 2 win events and the prices in the store are the biggest sass I have ever seen in a game.

The discovery is not worth my time or money I complete the mining events skip the hostile ones and do the battle pass to get rss and other stuff I need to further my strength and level
vagrant topaz
Whether I look at the Galaxy Chat or the Alli Chat, people are extremely frustrated because the Anomaly Event runs every hour! Every hour is just too much.
When we all do that @kind cipher then your alli dont finish the chaotic alli event, the rewards are nice but the event itself simply eats up too much time because it runs every hour.
That you can only level the Discovery during the event is also complete nonsense.
The discovery will change the game on the servers anyway, you can jump into any system in 5sec to occupy empty nodes (super nodes etc) until the other ship is there
I like that in itself but the events are just cruel.
I also not buy the discovery but all those who earn the combat pass points every day have the Discovery for 1-2 days
kind cipher
Last time I checked Scopely doesn’t have a gun to your head forcing you to do or pay for this stuff or else. And with that I’m done with this convo. And no I don’t support Scopely
vagrant topaz
The biggest trash in the game is the *3 refinery, the ships are so expensive and the refinery spits out far too little.

The problem lies with the players that pay for the crap they put out and until that changes Scopely will continue to do what it does

@weak rivet No, I thought my message was a bit less cold than their messages, but they’ve explained the event reasonable well. (Regardless of how good or bad the event is.)
If I worked at $copely and was part of the dev or QA team there would be less bugs going to production.

Or be fired for trash being released
@river schooner that could explain it, they keep hiring dev/QA who deliver trash so they fire them all and the new team first has to figure out what the previous team did, and because of poor decisions and bad timelines of managers they release trash and the cycle releases.

I am just wondering how are we going to upgrade the discovery after the events are done? We can only earne discovery tokens by paying and from special events. Need a way to earn them without just paying for them.

Just think of borg armadas...itll be ok
The spore drive was a stolen idea anyways it will be better to be forgotten
wind moss
Same thing with the officers, how do we finish promoting them when the event ends? Guess they rushed to get the update out for Star Trek Day then figure out what happens after the event.
neon oasis
If these discovery events are going to be an ongoing thing, they should be put in dailies.
wind moss
Exactly I agree with you.
hushed elk
With the alliance MS event on currently do you have to claim each tier as it unlocks to get the rewards?
As I claimed the first reward a few hours ago, and have just then claimed another reward but it was only the final tier, it didn't add all the lower tiers into it, is this intended?

How do the Ops 40+ feel about the rebalancing of missions in the Discovery arc? As a lvl 40 myself I’m stuck at “The Devil you know” because I don’t have a ship with warp range 80.

@dark sonnet I,m the same as you m8 the discovery mission setup is crazy I,m lvl 41 and can get to warp 90 atm. Really can’t understand why they made the mission set impossible to do as all it’s done for me is left me boycotting the discovery arc . In a way it’s not too bad as it’s stopped me spending on the game I just login to do dailys and set miners now and since moved onto another game. From what ppl are saying on my server all the new content is having the same setup so a nice way to kill the game of for anyone at lvl 40+

@lyric lily This happened to me months ago. I upgraded to get the first tier and intended to get the second via expenditure of g3 Mats on buildings but as soon as I upgraded I had new targets. I did get the first lvl rewards for the previous ops level but only the first lvl rewards on the new ops lvl. I spent enough for top tier rewards for the ops level I left which was far better than the first lvl rewards of the ops level I went to but Scopely screwed me out of it using a moveable goal post.

boreal mortar
I spoke with Scopely and they gave me the rewards for the missed first tier of ops 34 but if they have a moveable goal post when you upgrade ops they have to be more transparent about it. It it literally the definition of a bait and switch - here are the rewards for this ops and you’ll get loads of pts if you upgrade, enough for the first tier. Oh well you upgraded now so you can’t have the previous tier rewards
lyric lily
An actual bait and switch, they don't compensate you for. It was a technical limitation which is present on all events and for this one in particular, was actually disruptive. There's now a notice in place informing users, also telling of its non-bait-n-switch-nature and it will be adjusted for future runs.

toxic sinew
Ok. I’ve given the anomaly events a fair chance, and while I think I understand why they were designed that way, I really, quite strongly, don’t like them at all. For one thing, the game is not stable enough, in general, for a rapid event. Despite the update, I can never see the event until about 30 s after it starts. Today it was back to crashing and being very laggy during each event. The app crashed 3-4 times during one.
More importantly, the rapid, every hour event takes away from being able to do the other game content and requires more constant attention. I have chosen to stay with this game rather than Eve precisely because it requires less attention during play. The anomaly events interfere with that. They are a nice idea that shows off the instant warp capability of the discovery, but it just doesn’t work for both technical and game style reasons.
dense anchor
why don’t the points i got in one event carry over to the next one? there’s nothing in the event to indicate that’s how it works. if get two “distortion discs” but run out of time before i get the third, then in the next event i should get to the next tier in the Chaotic Space after getting my first disc, but i don’t, it still takes 3 more. so what happened to the 2 discs i earned an hour ago? they’re just gone???

@dense anchor they count in the accumulating event, which takes 15 discs, as well as the alliance leaderboard event

that’s what i’m saying - they don’t accumulate from one hour to the next even though th Chaotic Space event is cumulative
i earned two last hour but ran out of time before i got the third. so an hour later, i should have hit the next tier (which takes 3 discs) after getting my first one, but i didn’t. i had to get 3 more. the 2 i earned the previous hour just went poof, apparently

This new event "where no one has gone before" has terrible timing. Not everyone will be able to participate, which takes points and rewards away from them because they have jobs, families, traffic or a host of other reasons. I think a little more research should have gone into the timing of the event. Instead of once per hour three hours in a row, break it up into once every 8 hours, to give everyone a chance to participate. Doing it the way you are only gives those who live on the game a chance for points and rewards. Y'all dont even take into consideration that most of the people playing have lives outside of the game.

Why are lvl 39 players who have 5 dry docks and can reach dark space in the same lat rush solo leaderboard as players who have 4 dry docks and can’t reach dark space? Doesn’t seem fair.
river merlin
You cant reach "dark space just being a 39"

I thought the last Arc was piss poorly run.... Clearly this Arc is actually worse 😂
The last update actually stopped my game from loading...... More tickets to send.....
It must actually feel overwhelming working for scopely who can't produce a viable playable that doesn't have people complaining about them everyday 😂

Just completed the 2nd lot of missions - mediocre copy/pasta missions, so very much similar to the other disappointing arcs of 2020. Nothing of worth in the rewards, or anything of a challenge. Battlepass very "tight" this arc aswell
rapid ember
Dear Scopely, that was the single dumbest event you have ever done. Just poorly thought out, poorly executed. Just bad. Whoever was in charge of that should be fired and shamed.
Even with a Discovery almost no one in my alliance was able to get enough points. Do you just hate your players or not care about us? It has to be one of the two, because that event shows you don't care about us at all.
I wasn't sure where to post my complaints about this event, so they got posted here and in general suggestions. Delete if it isn't in the right place.

thanks for "taking care" of us dream company of sucking money

Easy to get all 15 but I only had time to collect 11 before the milestone event expired, lol. Why wouldn't they make the points add automatically instead of needing to tap on event reward, which takes a good 10 + seconds?!
hot bluff
So, on the fence on this one. Torn between annoying and fun. In some ways it highlights some interface shortcomings. For example, having to hit "Winner" 17 times and wade through three screens to see what/if systems I missed; that was painful. It also just feels like a way to get us to by cultivated mycelium.
lavish stump
<@&509690795536941056> please stop running any events that are less than 24 hours. This game takes plenty of our time as it is, and it’s very disrespectful for you to tell us when we must play.
If this means no more events using the discovery, all the better!
nova delta
Dear Scopely, unless you fix the permanent crash and connection issues (especially when wifi is used) don't do any ultra short time events like yesterday's 10 Minute event. It's just frustrating and enraging! How are people supposed to finish that 15 systems event, when the game crashes 5 times during it??
and all the crash/connectivity issues have become a lot worse with discovery, especially in systems that are rushed by many players at once

I didn't see that "new" event (where no one has gone before). I was yesterday and today every time online

You guys write the worst event descriptions... Ever......nobody understands you.... Even the English speakers.... Last event was explained as 2 events.... Not 16 individual S you had to collect, individually before clock zeroed? no, you did not, consequently folks were so busy jumping about, they done thunk your event was broke, all 3 times, after all, they was doing as it read"see how many you can visit"... Just like it said... Just as it read... Should have added that tinsy wincy detail about having to collect each event (all 15) individually...Before clock zeroed to score anything in th 2nd event not many scored in...
dim whale
@frozen lodge I agree with that 100%. I learned from this discord that I had to collect based on players who raising issues here and responses from CC’s and Mods. Had I gone off of the description I would have no idea. Luckily I’m also naturally one of those people who hit collect when they win something.
frozen lodge
Yeah well not everybody in my Alliance 1st language is English, so mystified x10... 👀👀👀

@prime gulch timing of the Strength in Number event (and other burst events) is a joke. 4:30pm in the UK is food prep/kids/work/commuting. Push these events back into the evening please!

Oh, unwanted feedback / comments will be deleted? That's really something new 😂

No, just ones that violate the #509679626763632642 (curse words, for example)
Feel free to repost without that.

@frail relic if they deleted all unwanted feedback / comments on here just on the basis they don’t like it or it’s not complimentary towards Scopely then the whole discord would be empty!
iron python
If we deleted all negative comments, half of mine would be gone. 🤣
Just keep it within the rules.

@versed valley Absolutely this. Nothing in the event description said each event had to be collected. I completed all 15, started to collect them and the event timed out. Think I only scored for 6 of them or so.
sharp token
i mean, could just collect them while you're waiting for ship to warp/move/etc, instead of waiting til the end 
rose cloak
Or they could just not make punishingly short events with the sole purpose of instilling FOMO. Scopely is using all the addiction tactics in the playbook to try and squeeze every penny out of their players before said players break and quit. They don't care about longevity, they gated their OPs levels so well that's not a concern for them. You can see it happening gradually in their content: Flash events for Outlaws, reducing timers on Exchange armadas to 7 minutes (even though they are high-warp systems), 10 and 15 minute events out the butt this arc, set time 1 hour events during dinner hours. I'd have already left the game if I wasn't an admiral in a level 22 alliance, but if the next arc continues this trend I'm calling it quits.

So much for mining. Game is down

Wtf again!
I really hate this events... I will not play that
without warning a maintenance?
within the event timer for 15 min ...

Maintenance again? Did you forget to do something in the morning?

Can we write to the CBS asking to take back the rights on the brand and give it to another software house???

@limpid igloo how many hamsters they use in the servers? Indefinite period of time for maintenance 😱
thorny perch
At least there must be a 12h Auto shield

Here we go again, maintenance during a event. Guess they didn't fix this. Wonder what servers are affected. When is it going to be fix and what compensation are they giving us?
They should have just let everything alone
vagrant topaz
Crash before bed time... 12 hour shield is mandatory!!!
thorny perch
Just give us the whole event points and rewards. And a 12h. Thank you. Ah... And throw this Disvovery thing in the trash

@silver crown dunno how many are left they probably let snakes on a plane get them
wind moss
Are all servers down in US and EU? Wonder if APAC is working since their maintenance was yesterday?
hushed cloud
@iron python I have to say that I have been playing games since the 80's, over a thousand at least, and that this is the worst designed game I've ever come across. the amount of bugs is untrue, the amount of maintenance and it's long down times. down to these emergency ones.
if you can't fix the bugs, or improve the game, maybe it would be best to wipe it and start again from scratch?
wind moss
Compensation first of course, maybe money back
thorny perch
I think there are tribbles left on the server which caused much trouble

@hushed cloud I can't fix anything, that is true. I'm a player-volunteer, not a Scopely employee.

12hr shields with downtime unknown, not sufficient compensation

The maintenance chest is a joke how about getting real scopely you can't crap at running this game

Could not complete last two hourly events since your emergency maintenance shutdown, definitely costing me points!

Thanks for the compensation but it doesn’t give me the battle plan points or distortion rings I have missed as a result of maintenance shut down and inevitable loss of two miners to the lottery of the switch back on!

Please stop miner attacks during peace shields. Lost two miners twice in 24 hours!

The events are started long before you get to see where to go, often leaving only 5 mins. This is crap and denying a fair crack at the points needed by players aswell as alliances.

Thanks for including event rewards in comp chest 3. Could there be a 4?

Are we ever going to get to use up the gauntlet tokens from the outlaw arc? I recall it saying we’d be able to cash in for huge rewards/frames or something of the like.
clever dawn
I will probably not be able to complete the event today, as I have always been busy when the event was active. I just want to remind you how you are discriminating people with a busy and fixed work schedule with this event. I would have time now, but of course there is no event now....
frail relic
For God's sake please stop those stupid-minute events!
I work in the hospital, I help people in emergencies! and i can't do these stupid events. Please change that!!!

there's an event that started 25mins ago. but no one knows what it is! it just says retrieving. most of server 133 has the same problem. it's a ranked event...any clue???
viscid phoenix
@hushed cloud it’s Strength in Numbers. Kill hostiles or mine mycelium in any Discovery system until the event ends

Was restarting the Discovery missions intentional? Objects on the horizon just showed back up in my gifts section.

I don't know about others, but I personally don't even look at Solo LB events unless it is accompanied by a Solo MS event, because the goals in the LB events are virtually impossible without spending money.

Great another swarm event! Come on faction hunt would have been great or even a refinery bonus event.
grim idol
Was that a 2nd hour long event in a span of 3 hours ... for a mobile game? Are you preparing to call yourselves an eSport now STFC? Is this the new eSport- competitive mobile tapping on red dots?

When are you bringing back the Vulcan Officers event? @prime gulch

Really? Harrison only for 25 people? At this point you should just be giving him out we've waited so long!!!

event going for 5 minutes and people in my LB who are several levels higher than me already have 10m+ points.. Looks like i am not getting him 😅
and not to mention i as a level 33 am in the same group as level 39s, well done Scopely
thorny perch
Good: bring Harrison back
Bad: this Event is a Bad joke... Ridiculous as usual Scopely. Why a list Event?? . No thanks.
As always very disappointing. You're really good at that...

Hey what gives? My Discovery was destroying level 21 hostiles just fine, then suddenly after repairing and returning it gets destroyed by level 21 now, twice in a row when fully repaired, just got robbed out of the event by some stinking bug.

Really bad arc. Boring. With designated time to play. Missed almost all of them coz I have a real life to live. When low connection is impossible to play. This shouldn t be the case. We should be able to complete these event when WE WANT or WHEN WE CAN
