@woeful sphinx You mistake adherence to artificial rules and/or restraint to "moral" activity.
@keen dawn lets just agree to disagree. some people play game as with similar social norms and dont be deliberately antagonist, whilst a select few ( on my server ) like to just do what they want, like in real life. but fundamentally each server is a community of people, a society of sorts. artificial rules and restraints are a fundamental requirement of societies to reign in or force consequence for extreme behavioirs

PLEASE dont start the 1h flash event more then 1 time per Month... 2-4 times is away to much with 4 competition days!
For the competition its better when you stop the event in the Night for 4-6hours, **exactly in this time people like me get the necessary points to stand out, **so many people who work and have much more real life activities than I do, have no chance to reach the top positions.
With the last sentence I make the event more difficult for myself, **but it would be better for the great mass of players. **
However, we need more systems with mycelium NPC, in the prime time you have to steal the NPC of others or you won't make it into the Top15! I find that very bad.

@vagrant topaz Because YOU cannot reach TOP15 people WHO can only play in the nights, where you sleep are not allowed to do the events? That does not make any sense, dont you think so?

please, please, please shorten the flash event, every 2 hours is more than enough! Your total crazy, all three tier4 discovery guns cost ~45 million tritanium! that is so exaggerated...
@worthy junco As you can see I'm still awake and since yesterday 6pm I'm playing the event every hour. I think it's much fairer if the event pauses overnight, that people like me have too much time, so many points are scored that 98% of the other players have no chance to get a good ranking.

This event is a bloody disgrace
I don’t give a damn about the SLB, do not make it every 2-3 hours just remove it. It is stupid to force people to be online when you say and the event itself is just a frustrating race to click the next spawn against other 10 people. Just remove this absolutely horrid event and never come back with a flash event ever

I have now reached ops 39 and have automatically joined the G4 group. The only G4 ship available to 39s is the ISS Jellyfish, to achieve some systems it is near on impossible to get to them, please look at the banding around 39 ops. The jump is huge.

Honestly scopely your shift to 0 rewards events where your rewards are now only in the battle pass arc has pretty much ruined the game for me not that you weren’t doing a fine job of that with each passing month anyway. When you first added the arc it was like ‘finally’. Some decent rewards for all the grind. Because those rewards were on TOP of the rewards you got for the regular events. Most specifically. Being able to do 5-6 faction hunts a month was finally allowing a meaningful acquisition of epic officer chests and faction points that while still a long and painful grind (by my calculation still about 9-12 months start to finish to get an epic ship unlocked) Still you at least felt like maybe it was worth the effort with the rewards. Now however. These events!?!! Are you kidding me!?? The rewards are only in the arc. And they suck unless you buy the battle pass. But even with the battle pass If you take the other rewards away then it no better then it was before the arc Only now I have to pay for the rewards. Total bait and switch. And the events that do give rewards 120 discovery refine tokens!?! Really. So that maybe after refinement I can get an officer badge once a month or so. That’s you idea of rewarding events? I don’t even play your stupid discovery events. I refuse to it’s such an insult to expect me to waste me time playing them for such meaningless rewards. And if you continue with this zero reward events and no more faction hunts during the arcs then I will leave the game altogether. There is no way im Goign to continue paying to play a game that so clealry does not value the participation of its customers. You have made the game unplayable imo by stripping the value of playing.

This Disstinguished Service - SLB has been a bit of a double edged sword. I love the smaller brackets as it makes me feel like I have a chance (carry that through to some other events). The other side of that is a FIVE day event with hourly participation, my girlfriend wants to leave me... You missed the mark on that side.
heady creek
Do level 7 players not get any special daily events other than "Race to Operations Level 20" and the usual "building your base, and research your tech" (which is already max'd out)? There's no battle pass this time, unlike the previous battle pass, there was the option to participate as a level 7.

<@&509691205798592532> any news on when Scopely are going to fix the battle pass mission chain for level 40+ players? It’s been over 4 days. I’ve barely played since then. I am not spending £5k to upgrade my ship/s to be able to defeat it. And yes, I’ve tried dozens of crew combos including the much favoured Yuki, Marcus and Khan/Nero

Open a ticket and request a copy of the lower tier mission - hopefully they should be able to provide it
I’m not sure if it’s going to go out globally for 40+ bracket like it did the last time or if people need to request via CS
It has been raised but generally very little movement during weekends
royal hornet
There is no shortage of idiots participating in events that are designed with ship-exclusivity in mind. These events are meant for the DISCOVERY.
Is precisely due to the contribution of these idiots that event and systems get buged down and make it harder for ships that do belong in such areas.
Take mining events for example. You'll always see Miners and other ships that are not the Discovery.
FEEDBACK
-PLEASE look event systems (only during the ark duration) to EVENT ships. Don't allow other types of ships to enter the system.
-If "locking" a system is is too hard for you, LOCK the EVEN for ONLY the ark ship.
-Alternatively, add a DIFFERENT and ADDITIONAL event for players without the ark ship.
=== BENEFITS ===
-Less players in a system (non-event-ships) means...
+less bugs
+faster loads
+easier on the server
+lower bandwidth
+all positives

I have a question.....what's with the phantom event on the 19th? It looks like one event was kinda erased, but not completely. Lemme guess, the Tholians have opened another spatial distortion to the mirror universe?

I just don't do the hourly events, if everyone said F it like me $copely might reconsider having them.

@potent bough
Because they weren't collecting zero/opc during the event. Ppl were slaughtering miners and sending taunts to try to get targets to come out for revenge.
royal hornet
As much as you want to make this game more PvP (rather than mining-PvE), a LARGE amount of the player base LOATHES PvP events.
Add NON-PvP options along side PvP events. Some way to get BP points/resources BESIDES forcing us to PvP
visual minnow
A large amount of people loathe mining and pve events. Make it equal.

Here's an idea... Give players a choice. Pvp or pve. Choose a path on the event, same rewards. People can choose which they want.

Or... just don’t force us to participate in PvP events. Happy to skip these lame PvP events and just do my dailies but not so thrilled when I’m forced to partake because the event was badly thought out.

@summer lantern I'm not sure which event you're talking about, I just ignore them now, I was talking in general, not to a specific hourly event

@royal hornet yeah I just wanted it to be clear that it was a choice, you choose either pvp or pve. That way people won't be reaching to do both like most events.

Can we choose to ignore mining events too?
As long as you guys are happy. Thats all that matters
Nobody else could ever possibly have a valid opinion
I honestly skip the last milestone of every mining event now. Sometimes I skip the whole damn thing.
I finished every arc with plenty of time to spare
So yes you can skip 2 whole pvp events and finish easily
Or you could put your big boy pants on and actually participate

I think you need to revisit the lat Monday event. With this new summoning ability it's now become a shoe in for whale alliances and players. Summon miners to warp 185 systems where only whale players can get to and sit on 4nodes untouched with 4miners. Actually makes it so unbalanced that I don't even want to play anymore.

I love love the “bonus points for using lower level ships” for the alliance leaderboard and getting rid of the catch up mechanic for the solo LB. I feel like I’m making a difference as a lower leveled player and have the choice to progress how I’d like. Stronger hostiles can be taken out by stronger ships but you tradeoff the bonus points and repair time. The choice matters

200 EUR for a MINER???? SERIOUSLY $$$$$copely?

@toxic wraith fully maxed research from a lvl 50 can't?

@languid quail nope, disco can't reach g4 systems, but these whales just relocate close, send miners in no need to summon
Same you relo to say wolf and to g3 gas with warp 28 miners
Or to lat with warp 28 dvor even though its warp 40 normally to get there
Just a matter of reloc and send
languid quail
Well what's max warp range then? I have alliance mates that have been summoning to deep space for days now
languid quail
@toxic wraith I think it's a whole different game at ops 46+
idle hazel
@toxic wraith yes....yes you can summon to areas with high warp...
And no....the ones doing it cant he touched by 98% of the server
The catch to doing it is....you have to ascend to dark space before you have the ability to do it....
languid quail
Which is the source of my complaint about the event. The main whale alliance in my server has two level 50s as two 49s. They've been at war wit my alliance for 3 months now and haven't placed above 4th since we shut them down so well. Enter the event today (the first lat Monday since the introduction of the summon ability) and right at start of event, they start of with over 100 mil points. None of them have more than two G4 miners. But all have spent to completely max discovery and do ALL research related to it. Been sitting on those 4 million nodes in deep space mining for days untouched just for event. There are only 2 other players on the server that are ops 50 and no other level 49. Hence my issue with the event now that summoning is a thing. Also makes armadas even harder because I (I'm ops 32) can be killed by a 49, 10 sec timer isn't enough protection to count down now that they can just insta warp the discovery in and summon their Kelvin and Newton and completely wipe us low/mid 30s out... Then laugh at our small ships...
idle hazel
Not defending ol scopely...not by any stretch...but couldn't you use that summons ability to insta warp out when they popped in?
languid quail
Not a mostly free 2 player at ops 32
idle hazel
I wanna say....that once you max that disco warp research that it gives the disco like warp 120? So...if a 38 that has done the ascention to dark space mission could send disco to those systems and bring one of thier other ships
river merlin
Lol
languid quail
And don't think a 38 can reach warp 185 yet
river merlin
You cant get discovery research maxed til 49
They dont want low levels getting in whale areas
idle hazel
Ahh! Forgot it was limited by levels
languid quail
I mean they ruined my last epic armada and there's nothing I can do about it
Takes me 2 days to get enough directives to run uncommon exchange and lately they've been popping discovery in, summon iss jelly and Valdore and no more armada
idle hazel
I agree.....a 49 hitting a player at level 31 is ....plain out silly...no capable defense.....but...didn't you say your at war?
Doesn't take away from the level differences.....none what soever....that's silly
languid quail
Ha a war where they demanded my admiral (a whale at ops45) quit the game.. So yeah not ending anytime soon
idle hazel
Hopefully someone at scopely is reading your posts....and realizes that it's going to cost them more if a bunch of lowers quit than to limit the pvp range of the few whales
languid quail
It really is, there have been a bunch on our server quit because it's so lopsided. And that 24hr PvP event didn't help..
It was a ghost server devoid of all war ships, including any in base! 😆

@left marlin Those ships do massive damage due to their abilities... I guess they specifically wanted to make players do regular battles and not use events ships to stack up points... Moreover the requirement to use those specific captains seem to be designed so that you can't use PMC/T or Uhura...

Can the rewards for events parts of the arcs be looked at
Rescue discovery officers is on for the 2nd time now and will be run another 2 times this arc
I won the 1st time round so got my stamets avatar , Im comfortably in 2nd place this time so dont get another stamets avatar , but I would and sure others would want a different reward instead
Its not only this event that does this
Can we have a different reward each time the event is run or another reward introduced for placing in events more than once

@hallow sky & @prime gulch, we know you've been having problems with your service providers but giving players not one but two PVP events at once is a pretty stupid way of reducing server load.
Anyone left in Scopely who thinks the PVP mechanics work in in STFC is delusional. This Discord channel is full of issues with it. There's no nuance, skill or fun involved. It's simplistic "find smaller ship, smash it" (remind anyone else of a story about beetles from Game of Thrones?). If corporate strategy dictates that more PVP is required, you need a total re-think of how PVP should work in the game and, no doubt, a few months to re-write the code to cater to that before you can start making it the basis of events.
Otherwise you'll find the dead servers we saw last week during the Klingon Houses event becoming a regular occurrence as you drive more and more players away from the game and into the arms of your competitors.

@onyx sage
Yeah, what's up with this? I took a break from the game and missed all the rogue events. I'd been patiently waiting for a stella event and was willing to just buy a stella BP pack when it came up so I could get one as I missed my chance it seems for a free one. But then there is a stella pvp event today and there is no BP pack in the store for it!

Actually - just saw the rewards for I,Mudd, don't think you'll have to worry about too many competing for that crap

It's not the event I want it for, honestly, it's so I can take part in content I'm currently unable to, do the rogue research, etc.
The event is just what I thought I had to wait for to finally get it at this point.
But apparently not...
I see franklin and dvor packs all the time when those events come up

I wouldn't worry about it too much, it's a shit ship, was part of a shit arc and has an upgrade grind that makes the Franklin's look generous

You are missing my point
"don't worry about it, it sucks anyway" is sweeping a fundamental issue under the rug
That the ship, and a load of content, is unavailable - for both free and paying players

If one of the scopely bods can facilitate it you can have my Stella if you like. You're right though, it's pretty thick giving you an event that requires a ship there's no way of obtaining

plain breach
@hallow sky @prime gulch I know you've received a wheelbarrow full of complaining about the global PVP event, but I wanted to share that there's a less vocal group that REALLY felt it was a breath of fresh air in a very stale PvE environment. Even the level bands didn't matter. Of course there are whales on the server that can kill me at a whim, just like there is without the event. Part of the fun is sniping the targets you can kill while evading the whales trying to kill you. Please don't think community feedback is all negative. There are many of us who look at that event and agree it was the most fun we had in-game since we started playing. And no, we're not crazy pirates who just like griefing. We are a normal ROE-following alliance with a wide range of levels that finally had an opportunity to use TEAMWORK to locate and kill pvp targets, even higher level ones we couldn't kill solo. Please don't ruin that event. 🙂
Causing people to park their ships for a day and not run missions if they don't want to risk being killed is a small price to pay when 99% of the time the game is completely focused on that style of play.
I, for one, would love that to be a weekly event. <dons flame-retardant jacket>

This disco pvp event is absolute crap. The 3 systems are completely controlled by the strongest alliance in the game. You get gang raped the moment you enter the system. Way to go scopely! 60 losses to complete the individual event. Screw you!

@plain breach maybe your server had a different experience than ours. The PVP event brought ours to pretty much a standstill. After about 90 minutes it was pure farmville - miners peacefully going about their business and even the odd all-survey ship armada. The few stragglers who hadn't heard about the event got sniped immediately and then joined the rest of us by throwing up their shields and doing something else for the day
plain breach
I hear ya, I heard similar stories. But turtling isn't the only possible response to a bunch of people hunting any warship they can find...
I actually think the "constrained to certain systems" approach creates the environment bloodletter is complaining about.
Why volunteer to be someone else's chum.
My server is only a few months old, and that probably plays into my perception.
there's a nice spread of levels, we have whales, we have noobs, we have a fat middle group of 18-30
I can imagine if you're really the bottom guy on the totem pole and you can't kill anyone else on the server that would be less fun. But our low-level members still had fun acting as spotters

@prime gulch Just like to say thankyou for the 'A Chance to Shine' event, nice rewards and an excellent scoring table that was good for all, really nice that there was no afk scoring. 👍

if you play this as a primarily solo game, I can understand the urge to turtle until it's over.
In fact, I'd love to see a paired event for the purely pve-oriented giving EXTRA rewards and credits for doing pve-things while the pvp event was going on, as maybe a rewarding incentive for not turtling 🙂

Since we just finished the first week of the arc, I collected some feedback from multiple members of my alliance to share about this arc so far:
- Battle Pass: two thumbs up. The new way to do it is perfect, and no complaints about the rewards.
- Rescue PVE event: it's OK. A bit grindy, but other than that, it's fine and the rewards are fair.
- Missions event: it's OK - standard mission milestone event. Kudos for including all necessary missions in the free battle pass. Mission difficulty and rewards adjusted for player level (same as arc 1) was a great improvement.
- Discovery PVP: Definitely a pay-to-win event. Free players mainly sent their ships to the systems to die a lot. The leaderboard portion worked well, rewards were good. This event would benefit from having different systems for different brackets, so players would mainly fight others of approximately same level of progression in the game (Discovery size, research, etc)
- G2+ PVP: Almost everyone hated it, even the players who enjoy PVP. Most people just shielded for a day and went to play other games or watch TV.
- Because the whole galaxy was fair game, it meant no one could do dailies (other than mining) and the points gained by the PVP-prone players were erased by the others.
- I noticed many left their alliances to play alone for the duration of the event, then returned after.
- While I saw many complaints in the official Discord about the scoring system, most in my alliance felt it was fair, since it mostly prevented trading hits to manipulate the leaderboard.
- Suggestions for improvement:
- Restrict the event to specific systems - could be a large number of systems, such as 20, or even all systems with G3/G4 mines. Still a large playing field while leaving some places for those who don't want to play to hunt hostiles, swarms, etc
- Split event systems by bracket to add more of a tactical element and avoid lag. One set of systems for players in each bracket with no overlap.
- Stella PVP: just started, but similar to the Discovery PVP. Great rewards!
- Georgiu auction: it's OK. Same as other auctions. Mainly for spenders but free players have a shot at the lower tiers
- Flash solo milestone: This event was OK, only suggestions were: 1) to place the flags in all systems, not just the bonus ones; and 2) mix a bit of mycelium mining (like arc 1) to break the monotony of just killing hostiles and give an opportunity to use warships for other goals. It's also waaay too frequent (16 of 24 days of the arc).
- Flash solo leaderboard: Most people in my alliance (myself included) really disliked this event. The idea was good, but too few spawn points, lag, etc in the bonus systems spoiled it.
- Idea for improvement: reduce the overlap of special systems (ensure that different brackets get different special systems each round)
- Flash alliance leaderboard: We loved this one, mainly because we could get points doing armadas as a workaround to the lag issues. I was a good teaming event.
- A Chance to Shine: great event, fun and creative, good rewards. Got lots of engagement from our members. Some struggled to understand it, but I assume because it is so new and different.
- New tighter brackets: huge thumbs up, several players who never felt they had a chance before engaged well now.

@vagrant topaz I didn't choose to miss the event, I got sick and was in the hospital during a major portion of the event and wasn't able to participate
plain breach
maybe an interesting twist for G2+ pvp event, make a huge bonus point event for killing hostiles, like ALB and SLB hostile killing events with big rewards, but also big negative score for killing another player, so the strong players who want to pvp can't also dominate the pve event. Gotta pick one 🙂
also creates an incentive to send pvp escorts to defend pve farmers competing for ALB. Could be a lot of fun 🙂

Most people I know would simply set a shield and forget about playing in both events if they do that.
plain breach
It's very hard not to read that as "I do the same thing every day and don't like anything that throws a wrench in my mindless grind" though, isn't it?
I assume part of that reaction (turtling) is to the newness and unexpectedness of the event. Why not challenge alliances and individuals to figure out how to play a new kind of event?
I mean jeez, making dailies harder for one event periodically.. maybe the problem is an over-focus on "dailies" and not fresh content.
if you hate pvp, and I know people that do, I get they won't enjoy this event. But honestly, so what? I don't enjoy latinum rush because the whales always win...
silver briar
All the pvp events are crap. The rewards are weak. Disco pvp bonus captains aren’t working. Need to be ops 31 and have spent precious spore drives on the warp range which means everyone under 31 is handicapped. Rewards weak again. The galaxy wide pvp was a cheat mode. We were in first place legally and then two alliances each cheated by removing a player, said players suicide into their alliance bases to rack up big points. Decoupling resource rewards from bp points is not advised. Yesterday I spent 100s of k tritanium and speedups for the SLB and alb and my rewards were again nsuper weak and the bp prize was a portrait. Also once you’ve completed the bp milestones why keep doing the events? There’s no reward anymore. The Stella pvp rewards should be tied to your highest Stella tier not ops. I need rare and epic and all I got was uncommon.

@plain breach no it’s about not losing points for your team. It’s that pvp is just a bully system because the pvp brackets are too broad. A level 30 can be hit by a 45. It’s not a skill system.
plain breach

@silver briar That seems like something deserving of a solution, it's basically an exploit. @prime gulch we didn't have that.
@silver briar You could argue in similar terms that no pvp in this game is skill based, and you wouldn't entirely be wrong.
the event had nothing to do with it
silver briar
Right so now you get why it became a mining event by default.
plain breach
In other MMOs like eve, there are many choices and tactics that affect pvp outcome besides straight ship power. The crew choices are not a particularly effective mechanism for adding variation and skill.
I still don't @silver briar because keeping your wits about you and avoiding the big gun trying to kill you is part of the fun.
I think lots of people aren't used to that manner of play, and preferred to hide, but that's not dictated by the event.
silver briar
Not worth it. Get your dailies for swarm borg and faction kills done the night before. Set miners and shield. Walk away
plain breach
An option if you don't like it, but again, my point is that reaction doesn't make the event bad. Just makes the event not interesting for some set of folks.
And you can't make everyone happy all the time.
I wanted to express my opinion on behalf of the people who DID figure out how to make it really fun.
And we were NOT the server whales.

Mining event takes way too long to complete to only get battle pass points

Getting my sally blown up by someone in a valdore or enterprise is neither skill nor fun. 250knrepairs and 6hrs of speedups is not worth it. Turtle is rational.

@vagrant topaz I didn't choose to miss the event, I got sick and was in the hospital during a major portion of the event and wasn't able to participate
@onyx sage
Sorry to hear that, hope you're doing well now. Regardless of why it was missed though - whether by choice or not - I think we want the same thing. To be able to acquire the Stella now, long after the original event has passed. Not giving us the ability to do that, even one with an monetary cost, puts us out when it comes to events requiring thta specific ship.

@silver briar I'd ask why you didn't see the attack coming and escape? Attempting non-consensual PVP against an awake opponent isn't actually that easy.

The game is a grind, we all know that, what fascinates me are people who complain about some out of the blue event that interrupted the grind with something different. There are two responses: figure it out and adapt, or turtle and wait for the game to go back to the way you like it.
I have no issue with those who turtle. Just those who fail to recognize both sides.

@vagrant topaz that's my core point. the world got more dangerous. it wasn't impossible to adapt to that. If people choose not to because they like doing the same thing every day, that's not a great reason not to inject some newness into the game. Even if it had it's rough edges.

The disco pvp event is not granting bonus points for the captains. Are you going to refund us the extra tritanium and speedups?

Bravo on these PVP events! Much better than the last!

A chance to shine is/was really a nice event. I like these events where even low level commanders can participate.
stark cipher
indeed it was a nice event and somewhat different than usual grinds
just one remark, the description wasn't clear enough:
- many ppl didn't understand it and didn't use the right captains, so getting no points
- nowhere was written that points count only when ATTACKING hostiles, so ppl were trying to "autogrind" by getting attacked in hostile areas so getting no points

47 and 34 are in the same event? There should be lvl restrictions and they should be random. Within 3 or 4 levels of each other and sometimes the 34 is the top, sometimes the 34 is the bottom.

So just to reiterate the pvp rewards are insulting. 500 spore drive parts for at least 500k tritanium in repairs? The captain bonuses weren’t working and nobody has since replied to the ticket hours later.

Well, the PVP event sucks as it helps those who spent money on the ships.... and asks the rest do go 23/30 time with vemet to get killed.... sooooo much fun. More interestingly.... with the SLB going ppl with high level ships wont stop the slaughter when they are done with the SMS. If you really want to disappoint ppl -> good job. (and no, I am all done, but I have seen what is happining in those systems.... it is rediculous.
agile karma
PVP Discovery Event - - seems to grant bonuses based upon the other players captain not mine. What is up with that? If I had figured that out earlier, I would have put a proper PVP crew on board. Then the only two systems I can do it in require Scotty to get there, so you limit my captain choices, you take away one officer slot for Scotty, and the other ships in the systems are so much higher than me that I don't have a chance to actually win a battle. Top all that off with prizes that are laughable. Didn't even get enough spore drive things to upgrade my Discovery.
Scopely, every day this month you have events that require using a lot of repair speed-ups. You don't give us any time to replenish the supply because EVERY DAY I need to be using a bunch just to do the events. Half way through the month and I am running out. Someone did a poor job thinking things out for this months of events.
gritty void
Here's a perfect example of what's wrong with the PVP: I'm FIFTEEN levels behind the other player here. No hard feelings against them for taking the advantages they're given but come on Scopely, give us a chance!
grand pawn
Stella PvP was quite 👍, but Discovery PvP was terrible so I just give up on the second prize 😭
thick gazelle
Disco PvP has been fantastic. BTW I'm a full F2P player, with a discovery that is in the middle power range of my bracket. Using the systems as a bracketing method was brilliant, now the effective range is only 5 ops levels. We do need to work on better notification for which systems a player should be in. I've had to help educate several upper level players that they are in the wrong system. Maybe you could use the flash event system flag to make it visual. Disco instant warp keeps the action fun and happening, but spore supplies will run low!
gleaming goblet
Lucky you. Both pvp events were so fun for me I scraped the Stella at the start! Not fun to fly around with a bullseye on your ships. For the Stella avg power difference was about 100k over my 210k. And the discovery was worse at 180k. Great going Scopely on giving out a ship that there’s no in game ability to upgrade!
hushed cloud
@hallow sky @prime gulch the discovery and Stella pvps have been quite good.
however the old problem with the game still exists.....fair balance between levels. there is still a huge unfair advantage to players that are generally lvl37 and above, and it just becomes a duck hunt for them. I've brought this up on many occasions but nothing gets done about it. for instance a lvl31 just entered a PvP system to have 5/6 lvl37, 39 and a 41. ranging from 175k to 243k. the lvl31 was 132k... so what part of fair is this ????
I've gone into the system over the last hour and won one. my discovery is 153k with Spock currently as capt.
why can't you just separate the whales from the rest of us? give them a different system to be in. and let us have our fun

That’s over 1200 kills. Ain’t nobody got time for that.

And u guys keep saying this month’s Battle Pass is more rewarding, but last month’s yielded 2 sets of Badges if unlocked the Elite. This month, only 1 set. Yeah, those Epic Directives are nice, but not nearly as useful as a set of Badges. So that’s a big downgrade in my book 👎
real lichen
Was considering buying elite again. Nah. Hard pass.
steel wedge
The scoring isn't paying out 3/1 damage for this Separatist Elite. It's paying out some fraction per damage.
Hence 1200 kills if you're level 28+. Or it's 200+ attacks on Sep Boss.
I was level 27 the other week and it was 36.75 million the first day, and 3.675 million the next day.
idle magnet
Sorry, but is nobody listening? The separatist event is ridiculous. Everyone else finishing up in 10mins, but I'm expected to waste an absolutely stupid amount of rss at lvl28. I've lost out at every event. Really disappointed with this.
steel wedge
Yeah, this is bizarre. And it seemed like they fixed it for day 2 the other week, in terms of lowering the required kills, but didn't fix the scoring, but now we're back at square one.
Like, both last time and this time, Boss's are paying out 3x, but I have to repair after every attack. Elite's are paying out at a flat 44,200. Which isn't 3/1.
idle magnet
I've lost so much to this event: you can't justify this, Scopes. You're sucking the fun out of the game with this separatist event.
steel wedge
if it was scoring correctly and the 5million for level 28 was the goal, it wouldn't be too bad. But as it's broken, it doesn't make sense.
I'm running 4 miners instead.
This was the other day, I was ops level 27, day 1 of the event. Would have required killing 850 Separatist Elites.
This was the second day of the Separatist event, I was still ops 27. I finished the event in less than 30 minutes, but I was still not scoring 3/1 for Elites.
This is today, at ops level 28. I would be expected to kill 1200 level 22s Elites or several hundred attacks on Boss with a repair between each attack.
@old grail Check the above out. What's the scoop? Scoring is broken, so the goals were lowered for the second day, but now they're back up and scoring still isn't working. You're surely not expecting folks to kill 1200 hostiles, right?

If you look at those screenshots, it's clear that there's an issue with the event and your advice, while I'm sure came from your infinite wisdom and gaming experience, isn't relevant to the problem.
@steel wedge Ichibe is trying to help and offer a solution to your current situation. the event is working as intended and how its always worked
steel wedge
I hear you guys, but this isn't an alliance event. This is a battlepass event. When Scopely wants us to team up, they make that explicit. If the goal was for me to team up with my alliance, it wouldn't count toward battlepass OR they wouldn't have lowered the goals on day 2 if they did want it to be a team effort. And this doesn't address the fact that the Elites don't score 3x1 damage.
So, while I recognize that you both have solved this problem and are making it work, I don't believe that was the intention or design of the event. Why would they lower the limit on day 2 if it was supposed to be a team effort? No alliance events count toward battlepass points. They all score for separate rewards.

plain breach
Dammit scopeley @prime gulch @old grail I feel like the feedback about marking systems got potentially misunderstood. I feel like some people asked for ALL systems to be "critical" instead of an alternating set, and some people asked for better marking, and that got turned into "mark all systems" and completely lost the idea that marking critical systems on the map was super helpful and is now broken. Can you at least mark the critical systems with a different color flag or something?
A red flag instead of a blue flag on the critical systems would be super helpful, unless the intent was actually to obscure which systems were critical for each flash event and cause some level of "doh" each time.

slim fern
in regards to global pvp. i have a number of points to make as to why the current model is pointless.,
1- this game is already an always on pvp game. i send out a miner, ten miners later, destroyed., i mine data, go, op, im destroyed. i beat someone to that ferewnghi assimalted frieghter in borg space, player unhappy i beat him there, boom. ship destroyed. i start an armada, players we at war with attack us. ships destroyed. its a 24 hour a day pvp event. so when you make it an event to please 10% of your customers, your actually alienating 90% of your other customers. havent the pvp players enjoyed that 20+ levels of killing players on a daily basis enjoyable. cause only way to make pvp a "FAIR" event is to eliminate that 20 levels of combat range you enjoy.

Stella pvp was brilliant
@tropic mantle That message is specific to one pvp event, which is not the Stella one.

tropic mantle
Don't enjoy the discovery pvp
slim fern
stella pvp, was far more enjoyable, yes
uncut sentinel
@plain breach Look I liked it but I complained some too... The controls were not there and if you cannot balance good and bad then you need to take a step back.
As an example, I felt that a control needed to be in place for Borg space. I mean I took my Vi'Dar there as a level 31 and got killed by a level 48 Enterprise. I wasted a TransWarp lost nano's and then had to spend resources and speed ups to repair that normally not be spending (at least the speed ups). So the bad was that. Now the good was I killed a player that was level 33 cause of understanding the triangle better then him and having the correct load out. He attacked and lost while I survived. So it is all relative.
Stella PVP did have a good feel it was all about crew load outs to a point and I saw that as a trainer for Galaxy PVP
fiery harbor
Don't get me wrong but,
If they really wanted someone to score better in both events, they would improve the rewards for both the Vulcan Hello and Distinguished Service events.
Changing the points for those who score better, defeats the original intent.
And the rewards for the Distinguished Service are not enticing enough to make someone stay up constantly to fight for it.
plain breach
To the above (g2+ pvp event): (1) I don't say the event was perfect, some rough edges could be adjusted, such as giving higher rewards for non-pvp given the increased difficulty--such as a pve event that was extremely lucrative if you pulled it off, but player killing had massive negative impact so you couldn't do both. (2) If you actually kept eyes out for players trying to kill you, it was easy to avoid being killed. Problem is most aren't used to that, so it felt unfair. But it's not, really. Someone you don't know getting too close? Warp out. (3) If you expected to do the same thing you did every other day and for it to be the same mindless grind, it wasn't. For one event out of hundreds of events. "My server couldn't do its dailies" is pretty goofy. You don't lose years of progress if you skip a day of dailies and do something different. (4) in terms of "it's always a pvp event" that's just plain not true. There's normally zero incentive, even though it's within most server ROEs, to kill warships outside of raiding. People who do on the reg are considered griefers by most, and gain nothing but a higher statistic. Turning it into a points game gave it purpose and meaning for everyone.
Basically, it was a challenge to the playerbase to play a different style for one event. Not everyone will like it. I'm cool with that. But I think a lot of the complaints were people unwilling to try. No tweaks would fix that.
potent depot
They try to push pvp because it costs more rss and speed ups then anything else out there. It makes scopely the most money. That's all it is. Most of us don't want pvp because we want to have a nice time. Not a constant spend death match. This is a star trek game after all. It shouldn't be so about combat (or mining)
plain breach
In theory I agree @potent depot but that ship sailed lol
late gale
Personally, I don't enjoy PVP, although I know others who do. I am not against PVP events, I just think the event needs some tweaking. The exclusion of miners was a good move. What I suggest as a further step is designating systems (could be a large number of systems to allow a large playing field, if that was the intent) without making it "all galaxy". This way, those who choose not to participate are not penalized.
Making an analogy: those who don't like mining are not forced to play mining events; however, the PVP event forced those who don't like PVP to participate. There was no choice. And therein lies the problem.
Another change that could draw more players to participate is to have different areas for different brackets - if you are fighting people of similar power, you feel like you at least have a chance. Plus it adds a tactical element, where your officers and battle triangle matter more.
slim fern
i think the g2+ event needs lots of tweaking, i am 35, and i would participate if, it was balanced for a chance of actually scoring points. but on my server after the first hour, the only ones scoring points were in the high 45+. they were the only ones patroling the systems, looking to score. so ok, someo9ne pointed out, i caN ALWAYS WARP AWWAY, tell me how warping away earns me a lvl 35 player points.? i mean seriously. thats no different than staying home and remaining bubbled.
plain breach
There are already specific system events. Even with more systems it would lack the cost snd mouse hunting aspect unless it was so many systems it may as well be the whole galaxy
Cat and mouse
Pvp is part of the game. I understand not liking it, but the option exists to sit out the event. The timing of it was such that you could do dailies before the event started and after it ended. A tweak would be to provide more warning — I think ppl were surprised.
tropic mantle
@iron python will the stella and discovery events still take place

one theory i have that might work, and im not real sure on this. would be to deduct points for hitting lower lever players, but gain points for hitting your level and higher

Or reduce points for lower level

Not following

if im 35 and a 45 hits me, he still earns points, so im gonna warp away and just stay home
plain breach
A scale within level band, 2x, 3x, 4x for levels above, 0.5x, 0.25 etc for levels below
I mean, there will always be bigger fish to kill you. You can run away from them without giving up on the day.
slim fern
no ty, ill stay home, remember its need to be fair. "FOR ALL", that will produce same result of roving patrols for 45+
plain breach
I’m not the biggest on my server. I am just used to looking over my shoulder so when I saw them coming I scooted away.
There’s no way to make it so the risk of the highest level player on the server is the same as the slowest. Trying is a waste of time. You optimize for the fat middle of players.
Bet you can do is make it less valuable for the higher players to hit lower. If you make it zero or negative that’s not fair to them either. They may be higher level but they want to play too. I don’t hate them for that
We have whales on our server, they are clustered in one alliance. They massively lost the event because it actually IS fair, unlike most events the whales can dominate by default.
No idle points, you have to hunt, needs teamwork. And people keep an eye on you and run away when you’re around.
Vs little level 22 me in a northstar — no points for killing me but I can sneak up and blap your vahk 🙂
slim fern
anything that allows the 45+ to be the biggest benefactors wont work. you have to remember a few things, your not just fighting the level, but your also fighting his massive ships, his 45 levels of officer improvement, and his 45 levels of research, that most of us arent even allowed to research.
plain breach
But that’s my point. You aren’t. And they don’t benefit. If anything it’s the worst place to be because you can’t find a fight.
Maybe a few opportunity kills if someone is sleeping
Can’t win the event with that
The tweaks that seem more important is fixing the exploits around alliance jumping snd base hitting
slim fern
if the combat ranges were reduced to say 2 above or 2 below maybe. just maybe.
plain breach
Late 20s would be a pretty boring place to be on most servers.
But I’m not against some tightening of the level pools
But if you did the scoring i spit balled above, they would basically get zero credit for killing someone 10 levels down so doesn’t that also resolve?
slim fern
lol no
plain breach
Maybe you get full credit for +/- 1, and it geometriclally scales down or up from there
Why not?
slim fern
if you somehow could prevent someone 10 levels above you from winning by default then maybe
plain breach
But that scoring does that?
slim fern
isnt that what your saying tho? give them points for hitting 10 levels below?
plain breach
But so little that it’s irrelevant.
slim fern
it adds up if you do it enuff
plain breach
If 10 levels below had a .01 multiplier on points it wouldn’t be meaningful
Sure but you’d have to kill 100 times more to get the same points you can get with one same-level kill
slim fern
if i see a 25 and i still get points as 35, its a a win by default, it wont discourage me unless, i see a 26 or 30 next to him

So he gets 1 point for killing a 25. You get 400 points for killing a 25. I hi k you are dismissing the inherent fairness

plain breach
He may still kill you, but it won’t help him win he event so it may as well be any other day.
slim fern
default win, ill b on it
slim fern
the other part where you lose points for losing the fight was a big turn off
the largest alliances figured the whole event out. one or two players would take one for the team, goto some obscure rarely looked at systems, leave the alliance, and send out some weak g2 ships for the rest of thier alliance members to hit repeatedly. yeah a way to exploit the game mechanics in a way thats actually not violating the rules. but it paints a stigma on the whole thing entirely. a year ago, when they last did this event. we crashed our fortunates into our allys ships and bases, and helped our allys win the event. overall when both sides of the fight are players, and its an alliance event. it just says rigged, why bother, all over it.
plain breach
Yes that I agree there are fixes to be made.
Exploits suck
Luckily that didn’t happen on our server
slim fern
i think if everyone had participated, it wouldnt come to that, it was the lack of targets ajnd the desire to beat the other alliances , that drove it
but yes the first improvement on this years event vs last years was the exclusion of miners, good move on scopelys part
river merlin
When you make a game that gives crap to everyday players you get those kinds of players

viscid phoenix
I’m a fan of PvP events but Scopely clearly need to put more thought into them so as 1) not to turn off the general population (ie not those arguing loudly on either side on here) and 2) to prevent them being exploited by having players drop from alliances to cheat.
Level restrictions are clearly needed, as well as an incentive for people to take part.
Stella event was fun, but over in about 25 minutes. Needs something better than that that isn’t just a galaxy wide free for all
fading marten
Something like a free-for-all pvp within the systems that are in Neutral space levels (14)-(20)
coarse thicket
A couple of thoughts I've got for the galaxy PvP event:
-
Bracket it by ship rarity (se mf vs lego vs d3 / cent vs sally vs bortas etc.) which would have tightened up the possible power ranges of the ship hence someone running about with their ent won't score points by crushing a little mayflower. This also encourages higher level players to dust down those un-used ships to have a chance of participating with the masses
-
Award bonus points to lower level players that beat higher level players or maybe have a multiplier by how much % stronger their ship was compared to yours. This will encourage people to get creative with crew selection and gives them the option of balancing risk vs rewards
I really enjoyed the Discovery and Stella PvP events in the sense that the field was more level, I was able to beat L39/40 players ships (I'm L34) of an equivalent power just by virtue of mixing my crew up
Look to a good example of PvP done well... Guild Wars 1, everyone in PvP was scaled up to the same level, then it came down to skill selection (in our case officers) and player skill that got wins rather than by the wallet
young breach
The server-wide PvP Event issues seems so easy to fix to me. 1. Exclude all specialty ships from giving points. 2. Only give points within a certain level range of OPS.

toxic sinew
I had been looking forward to the pvp event. For some reason, I had assumed it would be similar to the 'target practice' event that used to crop up and I wanted to play around with crews and see if I could finally beat a jelly. (as a side note, I am irritated that I can no longer obtain a jelly.) However, I am one of the masses that took one look at how the event was set up and chose to turtle for the day. The problems are all pretty well documented here, as are possible fixes, so I won't add to that noise. I just wanted to point out that some of us who didn't participate do enjoy pvp.
brisk osprey
The proposed 'Territory Capture' sounds to me like a way for the high level players to dominate everything. They are the ones, who will conquer all the territories, and nobody else will have a chance. Their ships are too powerful to resist.
toxic sinew
I would like to see the amount of territory an alliance can control scale with alliance level or something along those lines. That could keep 1 or 2 alliances from controlling everything if done right.
toxic sinew
One of my alliance members pointed out that tightening the pvp bands would keep him from clearing most 0-nodes he sees. Maybe we need different pvp bands for miners than warships/bases?
pure hamlet
If things were power based rather than level based it would make the game more interesting.
Use the mechanic which identifies what is “very easy”, “easy”, “normal”, “hard”, “very hard” and base points for winning PVP combat on that factor. It could apply to PVE too.
“Very easy” earns no points or very few points so that grinding them takes forever.
Normal and Hard and Very Hard should offer the best reward to encourage fights at a players power level or higher.
This might encourage using ships which typically sit in our inventory and hardly ever get used outside of special events which require them.

That would make things more interesting.

@real lichen if you can’t defeat a boss, then your alliance can help you finish quickly, we strip the shields off a boss, then let the low levels hit the hull, 3 or 4 suicide runs with a vakhlas or Kumari, or even envoy ( with Nero) will do the trick

Dear Scopely,
I really love what you've done with the Battle Pass missions in terms of lowering the grinding required. It's so lovely to be able to finish the events and then having time to pursue some of the many goals you can have in this complex game (faction grinding to fix reputation, raiding, farming frequency modulators, taking the Stella out to get loot, etc.).
I really, really like that you can finish the event fairly easily - and then you've often thrown in a ladder for those who want to compete.
I hope this will leak into the usual events too. Has it already? Anyway, faction hunt, Swarm event, etc has been a little too grindy. For instance, why not take a look at the daily Swarm where you have to hit 50 level 15 swarm hostiles - that one is getting a little tedious at higher levels.
In particular I liked the Discovery PvP event. It's very satisfying to black alert in, fight fight fight, repair, then black alert again 🙂 And thank you for filling up my refined mycelium so I could.
gritty void
Permanent Silence mission. Step 3. I have to go to Yoria-3 which requires a Latinim Transwarp Cell. Really?
@tired crown yep, I get that too. So you need to find and kill a ferengi trader and for the refinery to actually give you an Uncommon Latinum Transwarp Cell all for the sake of 40 uncommon officer shards and 100 xp. Comical 😂

I have talked with quite a few people in game about this and they predominantly agree...the value of battle pass has dropped. I waited to pay for this months bp and if there wasnt going to be a store like in the borg and stella arc i aasnt going to spend. well no event store and i havent bought it. maybe pass it up the chain that they will lose a lot of money by reducing value?

surreal dagger
To Harisson: What are you thinking all the time? The last Harrison ranking event was a bad joke. Instead of learning from the mistakes, the same shit now exists. Where the hell is the problem of finally getting all the missing officers out the regular way? I think this policy always gives the big players more opportunities than smaller players, absolutely shit. Such events are and will remain simply unfair. We had to wait a year to finally get officers like Harrison back and you hit us in the face. Shame on you
thorny perch
The Harrison event is simply unfair and unimaginative. Why not continue the event as it was in the beginning. In this form it is a pure joke on the player. To the Blitz Events... Scopely seems to seriously believe that this is a great idea. After the pvp event it's the biggest shit that was thought up there. I don't understand how you can act so much past the wishes of the players.

Hi, The flash event have good rewards but are to intensive example in my league you can hardly miss anything. I became first giving my stop to a team member but i think this event and also maybe with more others it should be based on effort. So for example have over 200 points you should get rewarded. If you want te keep servers en events more active i think this is an option. I see many giving up because the just can’t reach the top levels and some in comparison need to do more. Like a flash solo milestone. Also to be fare the rewards are good but are not inline with the effort.
Example i am now 2 times top 3 however i get the same avatar?

Can we NOT have another "Distinguished Service" event? They have not been fun, nor have the associated flash events.
plain breach
@hallow sky @prime gulch Building on the previous comment, the flash events aren't necessarily terrible, but running them as a multi-day leaderboard is definitely terrible. They are fine in small doses but otherwise the same thing over and over. If Distinguished Service were a 24 hour event, once in a while, I think it would be fine. Making people do these flash things on the hour every hour for four days is borderline torture.
I do think there's a multi-day format that might work better, however. Make it a 4-7 day event but make the flash events less frequent (maybe 5-6 a day) and randomize the times. That way there's no incentive towards sleep deprivation and setting an alarm every hour to get up and turn a crank.

Why is gas/uncommon gas the least common reward in Events? I've been monitoring this for the last 2 months or so. Most events reward ore or crystal. in Milestone Events where all 3 are awarded, gas is never at the highest tier. Can we switch that around a bit and have at least one event with some meaningful Gas rewards please?

As of today I have earned 30k battle pass tokens since finishing the battle pass even. In the first part of the event Scopely stole 15k event tokens in the same scenario. Now is Scopely going to steal the 30 k tokens I have earned since completing the Battle pass event?

Are they going to clear leaderboard as up now and usually can make it but with flash suspended, just ppl have clear advantages as they can start out with points ahead in event?
leaden axle
Gentlemen. I would like to suggest that you do urgent maintenance. the game is a mess, full of bugs and lags. Organize these events better to avoid overloading access and consequently game failures. Thank you for resolving. good night.
trail inlet
They basically handed the leaderboard to whoever got to play before they crashed. The Flash events are already unanimously disliked, tieing them to a leaderboard and only turning off the flash, not the leaderboard makes them less appealing.
tawny wraith
Why are the rewards for the Domination events disproportionally low compared to any other event? The Domination event is basically: spend as much tokens or resources that you've hoarded to win. But right now the rewards are so low, that it's much more economical to save those resources for the common station, research, ship, and officer event. Using them for Domination == missing out.
What is the thought behind the weekly mining SLB event? is there a thought? because the event awards tokens to make the D'vor stronger to the top 3 winners, so what's happening right now on our server (and I imagine in other servers) is that the same players are in the top 3 every single week. And every week they get stronger and the gap between them and the plebs larger, to the point where it makes no sense to even try. Shouldn't D'vor tokens be in the solo milestone or ALB event instead? That way the event stays relevant to a lot more players, and then the SLB can award a stack of latinum to the players that already have 2 or 3 overpowered D'vor's.

Scopely it was a very nice idea that we can get 2k points with the "mycel armadas" outside from the flash event, awesome idea, it need a little bit fine tuning but its much better then before.
Edit: Maybe more points for a armada kill would be nice, hmm? i dont know.
And thanks that this event running 2 days, 4 days was too much. But 2 days is still hard work!

Maybe you can help please
I answered about the name of event and said that the ticket was about the fact that event disappeared
I hope if you inform devs, there could be some information provided to the official support too?

This Disco and Stella PVP event is garbage! I dont even stand a chance against any of these high level players who completely over power me! It’s not even competitive or fun, players 15 levels higher just pick us off because they can. Absolute BS! At least allow like players to stand a chance with other like players! I’m literally sending ships to die and not even scratching larger players! You heard the first time it was garbage, but don’t listen! Furious with this BS event!!!
lament delta
How about a way for players who don't have a stella at all, to get one? Like thru an event store as before
toxic sinew
Honestly, I kind of enjoy the stella pvp event. Repairs are fairly cheap and, with Vemet as captain, I can usually get more than one point per hull. It is crazy watching the whales run from each other and then trying to converge on the lower level ships as we try to slip past them to face a ship we have a chance against though.
Disco is another matter. Repairs are expensive and the bonus points for certain captains mean we don't get as many chances per hull. Also @unreal isle You only get the officer bonus points when you win.

@charred juniper they hear from some that event X is crap, but they look at participation rates on the server and determine it’s not.
Stop participating in certain events and encourage others to do the same. I don’t do certain events when I think they’re stupid, since the hourly events seem to be the only way to get my Discovery leveled... it ain’t getting leveled. It’s a POS anyway.
agile karma
Please explain: two wins in Discovery PVP. My captain is Pike. I get 9 points. - - - - Yeah, doesn't add up does it - - - Now if I stop looking at my captain and look at my opponent's captains, it does add up to 9 points. This was pointed out after the first Discovery PVP, you haven't fixed it.
steep ridge
That's because scopely programmers are morons and lazy.
barren wadi
@charred juniper the higher levels even come back after they have finished their events so we can’t get any wins. PvP needs an overhaul badly.

In the case of disco event there is a ranked event but I do see this in stella systems also

Again the rewards for the disco pvp is absolutely horrible. 500 spore drive components for 100ks of tritanium and speedups? Hard pass
I opened a ticket last time and reported that I wasn’t getting the correct scoring in the disco event. Response 2 days after event ends asking for proof. I provide some but didn’t screenshot every battle. Still no response. What a joke
spare creek
Please institute some form of level bracketing. If you attack up bonus points. Attack down none or lose points. Having a 45 kill a 33 while ignoring the other 39+ warships is dumb

Be neat if the critical captain applied to the loser, as well... What? 60? 60 freaking losses? Bc the whales sit at the entry point... So all losses.

Unbelievable 4X bonus refinery 150k batch each plus 4X normal refinery 75k batch each time gets ZERO rare ore. WTF was that Scopely. Maybe you should calculate how many hours of mining was that 🤬🤬🤬

Not to mention if you don’t get your pvp events done early, you face empty systems and no one to attack. Both of my disco acting systems have been empty other than me for hours.
indigo coral
@dense cliff just ignore the events as it will be a waste of rss and repair speed up. Adding to the stupidity is to wait for hrs to let your ship killed at least 30 times to get 60pts placing Vemet as captain

After using total 1.35M raw ore for 6x150k bonus + 6x75k normal refinery still get ZERO rare ore 🤣🤣

Well... i played 3 times disc pvp event. Im 31 lvl with 159k discovery. So nothing big. But i was able to be 3rd in leaderboard and won that bloody frame. There was looses ( not only by whales), but more wins. It is possible, but it needs some tactics (now im talming about piloting the ship, not crew choose only). Just my idea.

Scopey talks about making brackets more fair, then they put 38s and 39s in the same bracket for lat rush as those down to 32. That's stupid since 39s and up have a whole other ship.

Content is getting worse with every iteration and it all boils down to zero beta testing. They just throw new unproven concepts at us and to hell with the consequences. Flash events are an example. We have officers that were recently released after being in the list but unavailable for 2 year and they do not work... This is amatourial at best.
My feedback has been given by removing my credit card from the equation. Sticking to the game only because of the awesome alliance we have.

@everyone This new server vs server whale action is not what we had in mind scopely nor is it even remotely enjoyable, creative or fair to whole player base.
lets cater to whale2

worst part is you can't even prove the accuracy pf numbers in the competition but have proven we could do server vs server all along and chose not too...

One of our players came up with a great idea today - Make the Cross Over event Combined Accumulation of each Server then total at end. Every player can contribute and play a part for their respective Server. This will bring amazing participation and Cooperation.

Simple way to balance PvP event? Add a solo milestone which has multiple milestones with good rewards such that people are ready to come out and die
Maybe a total of 100UC and 20 Rare of each for finishing all solo milestones
vagrant topaz
I finished bp days ago, so only event is flash. this is not the way to address the complaints of "there is too much work to do in game". Stop adding in new crap we have to grind (muddmadas AND eclipse hostiles, borg for hours at a time, swarm, mine 20b lat to refine 12/2000 dvor parts...). give me a real reason to log in today, some kind of event that i can at least enjoy instead of feeling like playing the game is punching the time clock

Would y'all stop using Domination as an event for getting points during a battle pass, it creates a situation where it's not possible to complete the event because there's nothing you can do to gain pounts during a Domination event if you don't have officers to promote or level, ships or Latinum to spend, speedups, etc.. On one of my accounts that's free to play i can't complete the battle pass because the Domination events that occurred making me two milestones behind and unable to complete the battle pass in time.
I have resources/xp to spend that would finish these Domination events, but can't spend them due to some factor or another, that's why I suggest not using events where there's a possibility of not being able to complete because of some in game factor, like not having any officers available to spend that xp on, or ships, etc..

@robust valley Errrr... no - one of the problems is alt accounts which scopely have allowed on to servers. These 'alts' could actually sabotage efforts by genuine players.

I'm getting lag in the game took like 30 seconds to reset a node.
candid anvil
the cross server event is not doable the difference between 39 and 50 is to big. Also the scores are not updated correctly so you don’t know the status
the we have lag and crashes
need game reloads every now and then to fix this
again if you do event make sure that the server have resources
lone drift
Until Scopely fixes their level scaling and balancing issues, finishing an event with two days of domination is 100% BS. Do you recall how hard it is to complete a domination event at level 30-32? I can't just build a gun or level ops. No, ops gets me three levels. Can't level an officer, doesn't even register.
You know what I can do? Whip out a credit card and pay Scopely $50 for an avatar and some meaningless officer shards!
No.
Come on guys, I've worked in games. Event production just isn't this hard to get right.

@SchuperJesse#1386 research also counts for domination.
tawny wraith
this new format where BP daily events award BP points only (and the BP meta event has bigger rewards) appeared very interesting at first. much less FOMO when you can't play for a day, but after finishing the Battle Pass exactly on schedule the other side of that same coin becomes apparent. For days now I have a daily event that awards BP points that since completion have become completely useless and can't be exchanged in an event store because the new format doesn't have an event store. Isn't there a better way to do this?
maybe add a counter for surplus BP points that can be traded in an Event store?
maybe change the event rewards from BP points to some random other currency as soon as the BP meta is completed?

What a stupid event. Comparing lvl 39 player with level 50 😂🙈 i would have needed to kill hostiles for 24 hours to reach the amount of first place after 6 hours. Sorry but what a bullshit 😂🤣
If you want a battle between different server the range of players needs to be equal more or less. Or it must be with a special ship which everybody has and with limited strength.
How should anyone on level 39 compare with an enterprise A ?
Only then you can compare players. Same base for all. And now the strong server are getting additional mats which ensures they are getting stronger again.... welcome to the next battle... 🙈🤘🏻
vagrant topaz
Hoorah for a new concept @vagrant topaz 🍻 but absolutely no shockers. Congratulations. the biggest lvl 50 wins followed by 1st/2nd gen US + one newish APAC server. Possibly a timezone issue?? 😂 or maybe the 39+ EU players were fed up with giving maximum grind for miniscule rewards and couldn't be bothered? the leaderboard 2hr delay would have been a clinching factor. 🤔 Also some players have more disposable time than others.
Maybe this format event would be more practical with a shorter timescale when most players are online across the world servers? or done regionally? including bracketing or: server gens bracketed. Just a thought 🖖

How can a lvl 41 player be second and a 39 tenth? They have no 4* faction ships (req. Lvl 42), no warp-particle R&D (req. Lvl 42), so max Lvl 42/43 systems reachable. Even their Stellas can be max. 720k due to R&D limitations.
vagrant topaz
@vale plume I am trying to figure that out. I am a level 41, with 2 maxed out stellas, maxed R&D for my level with everything, and I was only able to clear 55B points ranked 16th. How the hell was he able to grind 127B?! I have a maxed enterprise, max augur, and even clipping transports in sol (not even the heavy ones) I can kill maybe 5 before repair, and they don't give the points that Penumbra hostiles do in rogue (10/11M each).
Sure, the behemoth 50's were killing heavy transports in Sol, but with my ships I can barely SCRATCH those big ones regardless of crew. I parked my Disco in the middle, and was using lat to fix and summon right back and I was grinding like a mofo.
He either had to have 4 maxed stellas and copius amounts of meth and no competition for hostiles in Rogue - or he was using a bot.
Killing 42 - 44 ships in Inocula or even borg 33 give me at most 3-4M per hit. Penumbra lvl 40 rogue give the most by FAR unless it's heavy traders in Sol. And I know for a fact neither he nor I could even scratch those babies.

@strange patio My 755k Stella with Pike-Crew gave me 200 mio. Points per approach. However, there is only one Pike-Crew available, other Crews are a little less efficient. So make it 2 billion points per hour with 5 maxed Stellas which leads you to roughly 48 billion in 24 hours. Far away from what he really had 😖

Nice job on the trek or treat event!

vagrant topaz
<@&509691205798592532> this Trek or Treet gummi "faction hunt" event is much better then the normal old faction hunt event. In the old faction hunt event we need too much points to finish it, its to hard work and time consuming for many players!

@vagrant topaz the rewards for this faction hunt suck, we need the old one back <@&509691205798592532>
lyric lily
Same goes for you.
vagrant topaz
your alli have to share the gummis, not eat and when you buy the 470-500 independent packages you safe soo much datas and time to get the independent credits. This gummi event is 20 times better and not so time consuming!
at the old faction event it took me at least 1,5-2 hours and I have good ships, others will take 2,5h and more.
I finished the gummi event in 70 minutes without stress (the old faction event stress my nervs, but the rewards are very nice!), its still not so easy but much better.
We have so much to do with the dailys, collect nano probes for the vidar, collect modulators for franklin, tier up and scrap the stella, tier up and scrap envoys, phindras (to collect more g3 uc mats), all dailys need a few hours, the flash events are terribel as f... and so on. Sometimes i dont start Armadas for weeks or find no time to raid stations, why? i have no time, because we have too many important dailies that need to be done.
Current i have 4k armada directives, that say all. I dont buy directives since 6 weeks, i just don't find the time to start armadas, here and there an armada but then again the flash event interferes.

It‘s shame that there is a three days cooldown for sharing the Trek or Treat event rewards. 😒😔 3 days! 🥺

Yes thats true @tiny terrace this 3 day cooldown make no sense, thanks to this you cant sharing more then 1 time.... good idea but the implementation is so disastrous that it destroys the entire meaning.
halcyon turtle
This event has been great for Halloween really good work guys. Few points though: option to share gummy rewards should have been 3 limit same as eating this really got the alliances working together to reap bigger rewards as a team. The limit of 1 share scuppered this slightly.
Secondly changes to alliance rewards is good with the new tokens etc. However let us choose to buy steel/trit/dilithium or speed ups as an actual individual item greater choice and control less RNG is always better

Event leader boards would be in increments of 5 level not 10. As a level 24 I can not keep up with 28/29/30(really 30) for leaderboard evens.
Also a level 29 can hit me at 24 but I can't hit a 20? Please fix pvp ranges.

Agreed! The levels are stupid once you get above 23. I can get hit but a level 40 and I'm 28.
These stupid pvp things that eventually end up with the same 2 players every single time. Our the same 2 alliances with all the credit cards.....

vagrant topaz
<@&509691205798592532> why only the top3 finisher from the latinum event get DVor parts and only the top10 get any price... It would be very nice whenp place 4-5 or 4-10 also get a little bit Dvor parts, and maybe rank 11-15 or 11-20 get a little bit g3 gas + dilithium.
I find it generally very bad that from operation level 28 on only the top10 get a reward at all events.
You manage in absolute perfection to take away the fun from the players.

I can prove you its impossible came on my server and ask anyone to raid me alone fron a other system
You didnt provide me any proof mm you are just saying ... and now you agree you cannot clean 10b base that way .. so we can both agree this is a FACT.... territory event is going to cut down on one of the main and most essential aspect of this game

So we need to raid people its essential !

@hearty topaz feedback, not long discussions about a difference of opinion on how to do something in game

Its not really a opinion.. its not possible to raid from other system when someone is defending... only possible when you attack people that doesnt know how to defend properly or no one defending... so yeah its a differrent opinion only going with the fighting skill of each server i guess...
vagrant topaz
It would be time for something new, every month battlepass gets boring with time. The gauntlet event store was nice.

You dont need to raid, you need to focus on having the strongest ship you can at your level so you can actively win flash and daily events. Currently have 2bill of parsteel in tokens and 300mil trit never needed it to update to level 31 so totally disagree. Raiding only pleases 1 person and leaves the other at a disadvantage and annoyed not good if they are a paying customer like me. Flash events and dailies can benefit all. Much better way to go.

flash events still painfully lagging/slow. points taking ages to appear. completed event reports need to be organised so that they just don't disappear, maybe some kind of archival ? imho i think there should be an official timestamp - .date & duration of said event on the event completion. If there are any concerns from the players, how are we meant to be able to bring this to the attention of CS ? @hallow sky @queen crag @upbeat cedar By not having this official timestamp, scopely are setting their customer services department up to fail !
With regards time stamps, could this be introduced with all things? ie battlelogs.... you were attacked 47minutes ago... - very useful. 47 minutes relative to what initial time?

Domination events are terrible... save officer xp for the heroic officer daily event or battle pass domination events for the points. Eventually you run out of officers if you continually do domination events for their measly payouts

@visual minnow thank you. I do have a lot of envoy bps lol
vernal raven
The update on territory capture you just publishing sounds like another present for high level alliances. Cause only the strongest alliances can defend those special nodes and will win quickly most territory. And as they don't have to pay resources to participate they can easily keep the territory. This is especially what I feared and opposed to what you said that you will make it fair. And you will loose members with this sort of PVP as people will be pissed that they have not a chance to win with their Ally

Why we get sooo much g3 ore? From 10 events we get in 6-7 events ore, but for almost everything we need mainly gas and crystals... totaly bs...
merry meadow
I dunno about you but I need far more ore then gas and crystal. OPs and Academy both need thousands of it.

What’s the min player level that can participate and/or hold a node in the takeover zone? Level 1, 10, 25, 30??? Will 49 player be able to kill any ship in the zone or just to the range limits in place today?
What is the warp level limits in the zone?
thorny perch
Don't you think it's getting a bit much and overpowering? What else?
Dailies, day events, swarm, Borg probes, Eclipse opponents, lightning events and now territory. And then, if there is time, Armadas, Scouts....
Seriously... this will be confusing and a little bit annoying
kind cove
yep.... and new nodes and i bet they will introduce a new ship for those nodes... come on its a game.... not a fulltime job!
merry meadow
The more complicated they make it will only help the gated whale communities (territories).
People should be able to relocate into territories to raid them but no shields can be applied. This really is going to be a disaster creating even more nearly dead systems full of empty bases with no loot in them while the whale teams make deals with the teams surrounding them and help protect them from being attacked on territory capture day.

Mods have stated no event store,. If this is true consider you having another player lost. I took a year off this game due to bs and came back to give it another try. Needless to say I am very behind and rely on those stores to catch up. If there is really no store there is no way to catch up and no point to coming back. This may be goodbye from me

Can we plz just once have new content come out without introducing a new resource to mine or 5 different new currencies/tokens to keep track of?! So much grinding already. Give us a break!
little plover
Territory capture is the dumbest thing scopely has come up with to date 😂
Only a very few alliances can do it ..

Only a very few alliances can do it ..
@little plover What you think of Scopely. The alliance with paying player are getting even more benefits, like always.
pastel bear
This what we have deal with on server 16 top alliance take up who thing and won't let smaller alliance compete
Bully tactics. That what makes this game not fun
little plover
@spice ravine 😂 do you like you whale money funding stupid events
pastel bear
I entered that new system and got take out immediately. No time to bring miner in
This arc gonna sux on server 16
pastel bear
Another system over runner by these Azz hats on server 16. Just making this event harder to play when it starts
@prime gulch very disappointing that scopley allows bully in this game
spice ravine
@little plover No, I hate games where you can only get ahead for real money. Scopely just made me realize that they only want PaytoWin players. Sooner or later I will leave the game, again a nice game that was spoiled by the developers. It's a shame about the beautiful game.
And not worth a cent. At least they don't see any more money from me.

<@&509690795536941056> <@&509691205798592532> Is it a bug that I haven’t got what’s needed to progress in the mission chain available in the Territory capture store?
ionic flame
Any events today?
woeful sphinx
i also cannot progress in mission chain as per above lack of rewaed in alliance》territory store

Can't progress either same problem in eu 167

Can’t get anywhere near a mine for the mission.
Was it intentional to make it so that only 0.0001% of the server could do the mission and get rewards?
Seems so
quiet furnace
Load of utter bollocks, well done scamley
shy grotto
why this countdown 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡
craggy pewter
Horrible quest chain so far. Send everyone to the same area for the same resource multiple times. Who writes these? They should be slapped.
safe cloud
Great event and game design... like always! 😡
ionic flame
Need at least 10x more mines if you are going to make it part of the storyline mission. Most servers have ROE and alliances cant get any access to these once the p2w whales get them
buoyant bison
Brings out alliance based content. Everyone can take part, be attacked whatever level in those systems but oh wait.....need to be ops 25 to refine the stuff to take part.
On a new server, just hand the areas over to the top alliance now. No one else can play! Cracking idea 👍🏻
pallid sand
NOT ENOUGH Node...... Why not convert some useless spore mine that no one use, and add quickly some isogene mine?
It s discouraging people very fast, and arc barely start....
toxic wraith
104 nodes right top 3 alliances grab these mines, keep them 24/7 noone else can get currency to challenge. Great design
3 routes into origin space all tutorial nodes in 3 systems on 1 path
ionic flame
I think someone messed up the new refinery. 24k for a resource this limited is just insane.
toxic wraith
Changes with ops lvl
As do output
Basicly have to wait for whales to finish the 1star research

The new box is for 3*?!????wtf
shy grotto
do you really think scopely 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
scarlet escarp
This is funny.
brisk osprey
Sending nearly every player in the game to the Vemmi system at the same time in order to complete the first mission was not a good idea.
scarlet escarp
Go to events guys..
vagrant topaz
@Scopely are you really serious? Every system looks like this!
cedar cairn
Oh come on, start sharing the nodes for the few ypu need for the Missions
vagrant topaz
not on our server, before they start a war^^...

Very trekkistic😂

Please reduce the material cost for the first particle refine.
Its a tutorial... costs should match
minor elk
How has it happened again, lvl 29 ops and I need 55 million points for top reward. thats over 1,200 hostile kills or 27 suicide missions in my kumari with the best survival crew.
This happened last time when ops 24 to 29 had 10x the rewards targets compared to everyone else
analog haven
Can't refine new mats stuck on quest please fix
fluid lotus
Update your game to see the refinery tab required
I however can’t see the reward in the “territory store”
vagrant topaz
i cant refine the new iso ore any idea why?
vagrant topaz
had to uninstall then reinstall
brisk osprey
Now the high level players are hogging all the isogen nodes.
stone void
Very disappointed that the new events exclude people level 24 and under. There are very few events for those of us under 25 in this arc. I count 3. Flash events, ship PvP, Cosmic cleanup and Legacy Ship Utilization. Two of which occur on the same days. So i have very little to do for the next month, since i can't participate in the territory capture either.
This month proves to be a very boring month. Thanks for that event design scopely.
gleaming goblet
Nice scam Scopely! What the hell are “prime particles”? And why is the only way to get them to drop 100$ to get them? Your just a greedy bunch of jerks.
toxic wraith
@minor elk why haven't you got faction ship am ops 29 also and I got 55m with still half health left on a 689k sally
Crew and ship choice, kumari is ops 24 ship with you doing at 29
Mind you could do 10.5mil with just basic sally
Straight outta box so have fun
minor elk
Don't yet have the bps for Saladin. So stuck on kumari and Mayflower
toxic wraith
Stick morale crew on kumi you will last 100 rounds do ton damage
Or use burning crew on an envoy rinse repeat
Your own fault for lvling too fast
Hit the bosses. Rather than farm the weak plenty of YouTube content creator vids about separtists
Bosses you get 3 points per damage point
Pike moreau Chen in paraleon is best crew

Scopely can eat all 💩 😡 can’t even get 1 login nodes to mine while high level players holding with battleship and hogging the node for hours. After so long of planning yet so screw up. Bloody brain dead

Do not pay for anything anymore! Save your money. Scopeless have ruined the game
Too much time required to play

Game is unbelievably laggy

22h waiting for next refinery 😡😡
hollow violet
@shy grotto What else did you expect?
shy grotto
the same countdown like the mats refinery
vagrant topaz
Honestly, I can tell someone thought the events and added features are a great idea. From this angle, it's just increasing complexity (go ahead and look up software entropy)... and just too much stuff to do, and just too much stuff to continue paying for.
Paywalling primes is normal for Scopely, so... meh. Not even worth talking about, if you don't like that, maybe do the dishes. Clean your room. Whatever.
But really, I'm looking at this game right now and looking at the stuff I have to do, and it's beginning to look a lot like chores.
So whoever thought all of this was a good idea... well, maybe you should stop listening to them. Because it's going a bit beyond irritating (burst events were stupid and lost allure rather quickly, if they had any at all). Adding more research trees...
Well, first there was galaxy, then there was rogue, and now discovery... what's next to get money out of people? Because it's become that patently obvious.
thorny perch
Thanks a lot scopely - last month I thought your idea of flash events was the biggest nonsense of all times... you have taught me better with your "creativity". You really manage to frustrate you again and again. Put your territory somewhere else
rancid agate
i get that the idea was to give the whales something to play and keep it fair by only allowing them to keep 5 territorys...but no one hinders them from flying around clearing every other system for fun. sorry, our alliance wont partake in territory capture, we cant mess with 43+ ships at all.
thorny perch
I don't see the point in participating in this pointless sh... event...
rancid agate
well there are like 100 nodes of iso outside of the event space and our server has like 900 actives with 3 ships each...take a wild guess why it would have been quite beneficial to own an area of the map where only you can mine iso...
vagrant topaz
Nearly impossible to mine any isogen, Or. Sec.'s armadas repoping once everyday, how cleverly thought it was 🤣🤣🤣 a test server could be of some use...
shy grotto
i thought the megacube was shit but this is the biggest shit ever
hollow violet
Stay calm and wait for things to settle a bit, once alliances start getting territories they will move their Isogen mining over to those Zones and thus free up the independent mines
sacred glacier
@hollow violet lol, youre joking right? there are soo few isogen mines and systems, by the time some mines free up, ppl will be so fed up with this stuff that nobody will care about it anymore. discovery as tv series is good, but these discovery arcs, flash events and so on - big fail... now would be the time to take a step back and rethink it twice or thrice, before implementing half cooked ideas 🖖
potent depot
@panic do you see yet exactly how this was a pay to win or are you guys that ignorant? 🤦♂️
obtuse urchin
It appears we owned a zone - joining fee paid and only us on capture nodes there - but it says no alliance now, after about 10 minutes "retrieving..."
hollow violet
@sacred glacier that is your opinion, I have a different one 🖖
vagrant topaz
the biggest bullshit ever!, i search 2 days for a isogen node and found nothing... The 2 biggest allis kill all and now sitting 2 allis on all nodes... **** you Scopely!
time to uninstall this dumb idiot game
indigo coral
So difficult to even mine 25 Isogen to complete 1st mission and find out 3rd mission also need to mine 20 Isogen after than need to refine so to move to next . It will need at least 33k to start a refine 🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪
Need to ask other alliance members for 5 mins to mine
vagrant topaz
normal its easy @indigo coral you have to min 3,5h but first find a free isogen node, thats not possible on our server...
indigo coral
@vagrant topaz not possible for many in our server. This is a joke
open yoke
Shitty game. Where is the iOS update ?? Don’t have it. It’s unfair !!
vagrant topaz
and this scopely bots implement again a lot of bugs, I've had enough of this incompetent crap store!
indigo coral
@vagrant topaz agree with you and many of our members decided to just mine ore crystal and gas for daily rather just ignore other events and let the game die off. What’s the point to capture territory moving base there while being lonely 😂😂😂. Only Scopely thinks PVP so get players pay for repairs and speed up to buy more packs to increase their bonus
vagrant topaz
But they are wrong, I invested easily 500€ in the last months (to much...), but now they do not get a cent more. The Battlepass was the last thing I bought.
I am currently installing world of tanks and reactivating my 40k games account.
I also don't feel like restarting a game 20 times a day because it is mercilessly bugged.
indigo coral
The worst is the refinery the higher level the worst output UC and Rare even with 75k batch each time. Many already starts to play less and don’t even bother with those new ship
hollow violet
What, my refinery output is definitely higher than it was at lower levels
shy grotto
where are the beginning missions from this systems??? <@&509691205798592532> @hollow violet
indigo coral
@hollow violet I know you most supportive of Scopely so good to know everything you touch gets good result
round valley
So difficult to even mine 25 Isogen to complete 1st mission and find out 3rd mission also need to mine 20 Isogen after than need to refine so to move to next . It will need at least 33k to start a refine 🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪
@indigo coral if you complete battlepass event (separatist), the 2nd milestone has the necesary material to complete the mission and skip the refinery part
indigo coral
@round valley thanks for the information. Truly appreciate
hollow violet
@indigo coral 🧐
I didn't say refinery is great, but it is better than what it was when I was lower level

Not enough node, and armada are NOT respawning...

<@&509690795536941056> is there an event calendar coming for this arc like the past several arcs?
thorny perch
When I look at the event or the architecture, I dare to doubt that they themselves know what they are doing...
winged bison
Flash events disappeared after the initial count down to start?
Another bug?
I was thinking of a name that combines Scopely with Bugs, and i came up with Sbupgsly.. maybe others can do better
Now the Cosmic Cleanup disappeared too..
indigo coral
Hostile event disappear 😫😫😫😫😫😫 after I done nearly part 1 reward
thorny perch
where is it gone? 😄
tribal ravine
Dear scopely, the takeover new content has many interesting features. The most frustrating is the lack of isogen mines. Reining once every 22h with 32k requirement for a lvl33 such as myself requires 1.5h on a mine per day per person. There are just not enough mines to go around for a galaxy of alliances to attempt to mine the mines, creating discontent, frustration, and increasing hostilities. Please please please consider packing more mines into the galaxy to permit players to all participate, not just those that have big ships to defend their alliance members and takeover entire systems of mines for just themselves. Thanks for listening!
obtuse urchin
Further to earlier message about winning a zone but not really getting it.
We got the deposit back. But not the zone.
What the actual f?
