Most worthless and fruitless event I've ever seen on my 2.5 years of playing this game
<@&509691205798592532> pls send feedback tomorrow when scopely is open that this rare event is impossible. On server 8 we have over 8 active alliances that were running rares in deep space and normal space and it was impossible for most to complete this event. Request that they send a comp chest to all those that could not finish this event as the expectations were impossible. Request that next time they want to run an event of this magnitude to pls ask the player base if possible. @warped sierra has been asking for a player review panel and that would have stopped an event like this from flopping hard on its face. I have whales, dolphins and f2p who have barely cleared the third milestone if they were lucky. There was no epics, and almost no uncommon armadas at anytime
Scopley have hit a new low with this event. What a waste of time! So frustrating spending hours looking for rare armadas that just arenāt there. Thanks for wasting my time scopley
Having a 12 hour timer of the "Rift #3 -SLB" is fine, but when you reset that timer after the 12 hours, it is a slap to the face of everyone that spent the 12 hours to get to a certain position.
Scoply is busy counting money. Dont disturb š©
Searching for most of the day, weāve only found one 26 so far⦠this event is ridiculous.
This rare armada event is a waste of time.... In order for an ops 39 to do it effectively you need to run 2x 38. But these are rarer than rare.
The rewards do not reflect the literal hours and hours of searching and still not getting to start any.
It's one thing to make an event which some/most of us cant join in as the dirs are hard to get in the first place. But making the dirs impossible to spend is ridiculous.
A really poorly thought out event...
Something is broken, would expect to see some rares/epic being run, but only one I have seen is a 26.
It's not broken it's just scopley
If scopely does another armada event like this I swear to go to that office n smack someone upside the head this is ridiculous. Uncommons took forever to find and get. Then when you did you had to fight over the damn thing. Rares was so rare its impossible and if you do find one is so small you would have to do 20+ of them to get the points. What are yall freaking thinking?
The spawn rate is just ridiculous...what an event.....
Can we jump servers ? Cause stil havenāt found a rare armada on 147 š¤£
I found 1 26 in rom and 1 26 in fed since this thing started thats it the only uncommon we was able to find earlier took 3 rounds to beat it and some one tried to take it after the second round when it was almost dead. Hell no I spent money to do the damn thing I wasn't giving it up without a fight. You gotta love their ridiculous TOS too. We can't garuntee the game free of glitches and no refunds. Game froze mid purchase 3 times and half the stuff I didnt get they keep claiming I got it all. But not possible cause my officers are sitting at the same shard count they was before the purchases n they all would have got promoted.
#jellygate #armadagate š¤£
Iām going to say, donāt run the epic armada event scheduled June 27. You canāt even get a spawn rate that accommodates uncommon armada needs. Rares are nearly impossible. Epics would be an epic failure.
Best Iāve managed to do for rare so far is 315 points out of the needed 21.5k. Would take months at this rate to do this 1 day event
Stil at zero points , like most of the players on server 147 š¤£
Idea for epic armada event : if you see one , you get points
No I mean share cords in AC and get full event points
This Armada event is a joke, and waste of time and money, was lucky to get 2 armadas at a decent level and the rest it seems it was expected players to buy and spend on low level Armadas, <@&509691205798592532> was this event meant for the big spenders and players that sacrifice social lives?
Secondly I could not find any armadas after due to lag issues they would randomly appear out of nowhere already taken. Very disappointing event.
An event that 95% of the entire stfc population will not be able complete top job. Understand in auction events like jellyfish pursuit but when itās entire servers what an absolute joke
I donāt understand how an event like the rare armadas still makes it in to the game. Is there a expiration date on feedback at Scopely? Didnāt we give our feedback about armada events and lacking armada spawns two years ago?
Seems like a privi for top Alliances only. Still disappointing
There responds is always so funny and selfdistructive š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£
No compensation for last two jelly events , not even an world wide apology, so donāt expect any for armadas folks ⦠just pay and shut up is what scopely wants
#armadagate , #jellygate
rare armada event - the worst event in that arc.
You can only complain about rare armadas, when you find one.... No complaints
If we can find them there wouldnāt be any complaints š
Jellyfish pursuit is an optional auction style event and is (normally) limited to ops 36+ and you have other option about how to complete. Armadas unleashed is a milestone event. Big difference.
They have been giving directives in previous event so ideally you shouldnāt āhave toā spend money to complete. But not having any armadas to be able to is the bigger issue.
Not if the pulled the events while spending your uncommens witch are just as hard to get as your rare / epic armada directives
Regarding 'Armadas Unleashed - The Second Wave', there are far, far too few rare targets for armadas to attack! It makes the event ridiculous.
Totally agree with Capdevila
I just want to personally curse everyone in scopely that made the event so bad, and for stealing our sleep tonight - there are literally no rare armadas of decent size available (lvl 32 up) and below deep space.
We spent hours and hours trying - fought multiple battles over the few crumbs that were available - and I came within 3,600 points of completing - not a chance to do that now - there has been nothing for at least an hour. Thank you very much scopely sadists for stealing our time and sleep for nothing. NOT IMPRESSED.
I think everyone pretty much has given their feedback on how bad this event is. You set out to honour "your" decision to the community's request to balance game time, and the recent Armada events has just done the opposite. Countless hours over the weekend just looking for armadas wasted. You did not sell any of your packs, as even if we bought it, there were no armadas to open. Bad game design.
If a rare armada sms event is ran again, it shouldn't be ran concurrently with an armada alb event. It might not be as bad if people weren't rushing to kill every armada for the alb even after they've finished their sms.
Is there any calendar for daily events and arc events?
Look in your in game news section : "Make It So // TNG Part Events " Tab
Perfect. Thank you. I guess there is not one for the daily events.
You mean the Battle Pass Points? None that I have come across. It is a bit random.
26-27th are the worst days in the calendar.. with Who's That Officer, Ticketed Events, TNG Part2 Officers, Recruit Picard, Follow the Leader, Armada Fleet Formation (Rare Armadas), Armada Tactical Force (Epic Armadas), Officer Exchange Program plus 27th being a Sunday you get Swarms and Anomalous Phenomena.. I have no idea who creates the calendar, but it looks like they lack the thing up there in the brain..
So next Sunday, we can decide if we want to have a real life with friends and family or a virtual one inside Scopely's mad house
I am wondering if the server will hold up to all those event tabs appearing at the same time.. and the activity updates that goes with it
Again, the Armada event is a JOKE. IF you can't make a reasonable spawn time for Armadas DON'T run these INSIPID events.
I run an alliance of players irate about the rare armada SMS. This was nothing but poor design: my dozen or so players with g4 faction ships or big enough Jellies finished easily enough in deep space, everyone else endured a combination of wasting paid directives on whatever thing spawned that was smaller than theyād ever hit outside the event or spending hours scanning for fresh spawns, disadvantaged when they didnāt blow up what was there to time the respawn. My AC is full of players who put a lot of time in trying to beat respawn timers and server-wide player contention.
When design is bad, there really needs to be acknowledgement.
If it weren't for the fact that armadas had just been revamped and hyped up I wouldn't be so disappointed, but these armada events are just not funny. Gaming is about having fun, and searching endlessly through empty system after empty system just isn't fun. It just feels like I'm not playing ... So much for the revamp.
I think between putting 3rd day of rift and a miserable rare armada both on Fatherās Day in the middle of an auction for quality of life, Scopely shows that their first instinct is in a continuum between not understanding player frustrations to be able to anticipate them in event and ripping the face off their customers by making quality of level an exorbitantly expensive prize for a handful who have the luxury of time for bottomless grinds.
Those players will get strong second grind crews, itāll create far more ongoing imbalance in a lot of level brackets than selling Picard shards outright without artificially constraining supply.
What's worse is that when Scopely scrapped the first run of the Uncommon Armada Event, it cost players 300 rare directives. Forget the other awards. Scopely should do the right thing and give us the Directives we should have gotten.
Rare armada event was optional, took me 7hrs to find 1 as people camping during peak time... But they fell asleep.
I mean, weāre first place alliance, rewards werenāt great, but Iāve got hungry competitive players who love to play armadas. They are cursing Scopely out of deep frustration with this event.
Yes well they did improve timers was just people had rare directives.
Still got 2 more rare runs to go 3 unc runs and 1 epic event...
This month been all about armadas
The armadas āunleashedā event was more like armadas on a milk carton. Have you seen my armada?! Itās almost as if the designers donāt even know how many people are at any particular level. Or maybe the game designers donāt talk to the event designers. Im sure the time spent in game numbers will be inflated and no one will actually realize how horrible this event was. If the plan was to make people so sick of the game they just quit completely it was a rousing success. Make the events FUN. Itās a GAME. not a post apocalyptic scavenge for armadas
The problem is that the "developers" seem to balance these events based on newer or less populated servers. They IGNORE how this "balance" plays out on CLOSED Mature servers like server 31.
Over and over, the impression I get is that designers decide they like a concept, they don't really do the math to get an idea how it will translate for players or to see how consistent it will be across brackets. And they definitely don't seem to simulate across players stats or anticipate perverse incentives, hence the long history of terrible PvP event design.
"my dozen or so players with g4 faction ships or big enough Jellies finished easily enough in deep space" - this was precisely why we had the event.. the whole armada event was to get people to explore the new armada areas and do them, and the events were to get them to do it and in the process buy packs.. it was not meant for F2P players (barring the few F2P who do have G4 ships / Jellies).. this is by Scopley design!
At some point it's a simple calculation like how many points the event requires, how many armada targets will exist over the course of the event. The numbers don't add up.
I'm a first place alliance, and we're still a continuum from huge spenders to f2p. If events are only designed for the top 10% of the server, it pisses off the other 90%, which includes a lot of members I really value. If you want to make an event exclusive, require rare tickets, but make the rewards compelling. Fail, fail, fail.
f2p players learn things about the game that big spenders miss. I understand that Scopely may be at best indifferent to them, but they have insights on game mechanics and efficiencies that benefit everyone. I š my f2p members.
I am with you on this, and likewise a F2P player. It's nearly impossible to convince Scopely and talk to them about the inverted Bell curve.
I dunno about Scopely listening, I come here to give feedback on behalf of players in my alliance, I have yet to hear a word from Scopely that speaks to this unless it's via the content creators, where the politics of who filters what to try to be heard on whatever else are as intense as anything I've encountered in-game.
I have heard there is a special discord of big players / spenders and they decide / vote on changes.. so unless you are on that one to suggest / influence changes.. this discord is mainly for us folk to share each others frustrations about the game / learn something .. and perhaps lend a shoulder.. nothing will change based on discussions from this discord imo
My understanding is that Scopely no longer maintains the VIP Discord, but they do still give some really huge spenders an ear.
And even before that, getting involved in that was a crapshoot because Scopely was really poor at reaching out to those who are eligible, you had to network your way in.
Stop these unspeakable ranking events. Is that really all you can think of? Apart from armada events without armadas!?
<@&509690795536941056> Tell Scopely enough with the Armada events. The spawn rate it still far too low for regular armadas. We canāt complete events.
Borg attack doesnāt give points for borg?š
PvP event with hostiles hunting. Why? Why is there only one system? Next time I will choose "extremely dissatisfied"
Another disappointing pvp event. REMOVE THE PVE OPTION. Or make PVE not pay. 1pt per hostile killed and only in the pvp system no pve systems
@tropic ibex please sort out a decent pvp event
Lose the pve element to them and they would actually be fun
For the love christmas. please NO more armada events for the forseeable future unless the spawn rate is increased
Too many leader boards today and events are all over the place...mining, PvP, hostile grinding, alliance armada event, and ticket events.
A couple months ago you made an announcement about understanding that player time is valuable and the time commitment being requested by the game had become over bearing to many. That understanding seems to have been forgotten, and needs to return. This game wants to be a second job...
it did get me thinking why the F am I putting as much effort into this game
"was kümmert mich mein dummes Geschwätz von gestern" Konrad Adenauer
(What do I care about my silly talk from (time) before?)
you value as peers, but $copely doesn't value as F2P
Hey Scopely... As you have probably already gathered... The armada events were rubbish! A complete waste of time trying to find uncommon and then rare armadas.
My measuring stick for this game is absolutely whether quality of life improves, defined as amount of time required of competitive players and how consistent this is across the arc calendars. As best as I can tell, no one at Scopely is actually focused on and accountable for this because this has been all over the place so far this year, when it's remarkably clear that people are getting back to previous work routines and have very different RL/game boundaries.
It's like the person who announced the quality of life improvements has left scopely lol [pushed out an airlock no doubt]
If you must do pvp events, maybe don't have different systems for different players. We got ppl in systems not meant for pvp for them that get hit cause a bigger level player does have pvp in that system. How many times we gotta go though this scopely before you listen??? Pick a system, make that pvp for all, fix brackets so massive players can't kill small players like always happens. It's rubbish and wasting our time and rss
You have a fair point in terms of how this has played out.
Or put separate markers on all the PvP systems not on a player's list so they know they will get hit there because of the event.
I just had to run down whether an ally hit in the correct system under customary event waiver, this is more work than it needs to be.
Way to go Scopely! Run a pvp event and only provide some of the information!!!! For instance, you tell me what systems apply for my level but not for other levels which are different. So, I go about my business, thinking I am avoiding the hateful pvp part of this game, and some higher level bully whacks my ship costing me 11 hours repairs! F*#king share all the info or none at all. #Ihatepvpš”š”š”(Rant over, thankyou for your attention!)
Ask your alliance mates what systems they have for pvp and make your life easier. Personally I wish they would remove the pve element of the pvp events and make the PvP side of the game better and more enjoyable. Hate seeing empty pvp systems
Hmm see the apologies to all the players for latest brillance. Slow incoming, a event where you could made tidy profit with planning.
Suspect you lost millions to that gr8 idea and very upset player base.
Well done
It seems more like a job than a game. A really horrible paying job at that. š¤£
I thought the PvP with the smaller ships that everyone has was more fun and easier to put into the same systems.
Instead of systems that spawn armadas during an armada event.
Why do Klingon and Romulan lose rep for hostile grinding this friendly fire event but federation doesnāt? Federation gets a system with non faction hostiles
Will there be any feedback announced on the ability to complete the rare sms? I seriously tried so hard talkin like 10 hours of scans and got nothing <@&509690795536941056> (ps hate @ Ing people)
<@&509690795536941056> Why have grinding SLB /ALB events when people using bots can outscore real life players 5:1? Players using bots are demolishing almost every one of our SLBs...
@mystic kraken Woah woah, don't be hating on me.
lol
I think the mix between the slb at the same time as the sms, combined with the very low spawn rate, really just made it a terrible experience. And Iām all for tough⦠a little bitā¦. But it was seriously just not possibleā¦.
I dislike people get 24 more hours to grind with wesley.
Its pretty dumb to out grind spenders only to lose after 2 slbs because you gave them a free window to grind.
So for todayās game event what was the point of the pvp system? On our server we just had guys on the top end of the brackets wipe out anyone trying for the SLB hostile grind. It has led to a huge disengagement of the event. To further that, you also changed the brackets to which the SLB have been for this event. I.e yesterdayās rift was cut off at level 28, but today is cut off at level 31. That is somewhat of a big difference at that level on the player ships and what they can grind and compete against.
Also, for the faction Friendly Fire, the balance of rep lose/ won should have been equal. For Fed you shoot Gorn, and lose zero rep. For Klingon you shoot Klingon and lose rep, same with Romulans.
1 - 2 armada events a week, spread out would be ok, but 3-4 back to back to back is absolutely a pile of garbage! The amount of ladder events are also a great way to disengage a server.. we have 3 ladder events today that have maybe 10 players doing them. Great job scopely.. way to make sure that you gouge and prod those last dollars and bit of time away from your players. And on Fathrrs day to boot!?! What the heck were you thinking?
You say that youāve listened to feedback on the first run of the Picard week? Itās simple, get rid of the ladder events and offer more Picard shards for the events you have, stop with the armada garbage too. Thereās the feedback
I think Picard should be easier for most people to get early. I realize most epics they release are given to a select few or via paying for them which is normally fine. However, Picard is a character that many people would join the game to get. Once they see how paywalled he is, as well as many other things, people won't continue playing. Sad to see a lot of new players probably disappear after this arc. Could've had one marquee character easy to obtain and draw in players. Another scopley fail to get short turn dollars instead of long term mega gains
mixing pvp and pve - bad idea. some people are tired killing reds every day. why we cant get pure pvp event?
Yes and for 1 day please, don't make so long events for game maniacs or macro recorder users
Over 2 days is fine. I work during the day and can't be on
Pvp systems(other one us empty so didn't screenshot)
Pve systems. A lot more ships and was actually full last night. Remove the pve element from these events. If you want a pvp event actually make it pvp not add a pve side to it.
@tropic ibex feedback on another boring pvp eventā
This event made for them who already purchased (i can't say it as "earned") Pickard, like cashback to spenders... Whole arc is for them.
This is reality for them who not spend, but play a lot...
PVP event in a nutshell. thank you scopely for making pve an option in a pvp event š¤¦āāļø
Yes PVP event and PVE together bad idea, BUT before you do real PVP event please FIX officers activation when both players use same crew and drop ship repairing prices down than it not stop other progress.
I'm not getting points for this requirement š¢
@white holly are you mining g2 or g3? Event says g2. Might want to check.
@mild glacier I opp'ed for "Cry", didn't give any points.
Does say ore cry.
You seemed to hit the nail on this comment, ship repair prices (and time to repair) are probably keeping people from going PvP vs stats.
Improve rewards so they have alot more trit and speed ups in them and people may do pvp but given the option sadly alot of players do pve and care far to much about the pixels
ššššš more armadas ššššš I think scopely didnāt sold the amount of directives packs in the store last couple of days so today itās : armadas again ššššš
Why not use any of the systems that are not in use for the PvP, instead of red farming systems. Such as any of the unused Borg armada systems.
I just want to say that the rules for the PvP component of the Friendly Fire event are confusing to the point of stupidity. We've had so many players hitting and not scoring, players getting hit where's there's nothing to alert them to risks.
There is a simple way of evaluating any event with PvP: give the instructions to people not involved in the design, let them play the event, see how much time they spend on instructions, see how much error is involved when people try to follow the instructions.
Simplest predictor of high error rates: do players have to scroll to read enough of the instructions to get it right?
Also, the reality of the event is that it's yet another example of asking players to run backward, give up something valuable, in this case rep.
How is this possibility fair
<@&509690795536941056> what is scopelys view on the current pvp events? Do they think they work? Do they think more engage in pvp during the events? Do they take the feedback that's so far been given saying remove the pve side of it and listen to it?
You must have a very inactive server with few people. Our server has much smaller brackets.
I have the same problem on my server that research and other daily events are levels 30-50, even though there are about 200 players in the level 30-31 bracket for events like Picard.
Terrible pvp events are terrible there are people in second and third place in a pvp event without doing any pvp damage.
My feedback on the Friendly Fire event just ending:
- Great event, good balance of PVP and PVE, lots of choices and paths and strategies
- Greatly reduced or eliminated "cheating" (use of uninteded mechanics) to win
- One terrible thing that completely spoiled the event for me: timing. It came right after "the day of too many events" (Sunday had uncommon armadas, rare armadas, Make It So, Swarm Sunday, Anomalous Phenomena and a bunch of territory defenses), and I was completely burned out of the game. Had Friendly Fire been a day or two after, I would have engaged a lot more with it.
Yeah Sunday should never have a faction hunt, or a stockade of events, but can still run a quick event like hostile hunt on Sunday
Some would argue Saturday shouldn't and others would argue typical workdays shouldn't.
@iron lily incorrect. Active and large server
Maybe not compared to others. Idk. I know our server is one of the biggest in the game. Not scheduled for a merger and always meets those server milestones with days to spare
Missed the timer on the picard coins. Can we cash these in before the arc finishes? Or at least convert to a diff currency
so 3 new events requiring tickets to start, but no tickets. are they delayed?
3 ticket events with different names, same rewards, same requirementsā¦. Is that intended?
Was the Jellyfish Event supposed to start at 12:00 EST? If so, I don't see it and I definitely don't have a Jellyfish. I also do not see the ticketed events mentioned above...
How about posting a FULL LIST of PvP event SYSTEMS
i think event list with full info about events in every arc should have information about which event requires tickets for start. i dont see any notes in news channel what "faction warfare" its a ticketed events.
Faction warfare event. Is a complete skip, rewards are NOT worth the hassle
I REFUSE to waste event tickets on a PvP event AND the ONLY reason I joined the UTTERLY USELESS ISS Jellycrap event was because there was no cost even though I can't possibly be competitive in it.
No! Bad scopely! Bad!! Who wants to waste tickets on whale events? Oops, I mean pvp events. Also, don't try to pass this off as some new version of faction hunt which we need back (and fixed for the whales). Pvp and SLB events are a total waste of time for 95% of the players. Yay, you gave hostiles as an option, but BOOO! you put them in the same systems as the pvp. So those who don't like pvp will keep getting killed by those who do, and just give up or not event attempt. Which is what I'll be doing; total PASS
Who that offer event 2 and 3 are bugged. Did correct answers on both, no points. Then did all the answers on both. No effect on 2 but 3 now shows negative points.
$copely, why the hell is it so hard for you to say "use a speed up on a building" vs just "use a speed up" and only those for a building to work. You're world class dumbasses.
How can we complete Whos that officer, if you need 100's of UC mats to be able to build something to speed up? Why will the speed ups not work with research or repairs?
Yet again, a āuse speed upā requirement which A doesnāt specify which type of speed up needs to be used and B if the player is at a point where they arenāt building a station upgrade or able to then they canāt do this part of the event (because ship repair speed ups donāt count towards this event).
Right? The time after they were all available to cash in the coins was shorter than the time (days) it took to wait for all rewards to be available.
I see another mixed PvP/PvE event, again with convoluted rules presented terribly, this time PvE and PvP are in the same systems, but which ships score for what and how ships impact PvE and PvP differently, I'm sure there's a thought process there, mostly there are confused players, where people skip the PvP side because it's error-prone and more time- and resource-consuming. This is a design failure pattern for this arc, I really hope there are lessons learned.
Pvp and PvE should be in separate systems I don't do pvp
We already had an event where pvp and pve were in separate systems and it was terrible.
Take your caps and tag just to flip the bird elsewhere please. I'm very sorry for your experience but unsure why you'd need to send this to volunteer chat mods.
point taken @lyric lily, sorry for taking it out on you, please just understand my frustration
and Scopely just don't listen to their players
I do, I completely understand.
Systems that are PVP for an event should be marked like the Discovery-systems with hostiles so warn players.
And well, this IS a proper channel for... well... events feedback. Any chance this could get through to the devs?
Not in the way you formulated it
They read these channels so if you just adhere to the #š -rules-and-roles12, I won't have to delete a thing
OK but I complained here the last time the same problem happened, and I was polite then. I see other people have complained about this too.
Yet I feel like we're talking to the wall here...
I just got killed while doing PvE, got a massive repair bill, couldn't do my event; don't know where I could
as I don't know where I'll get killed...
...and to add insult to injury, I didn't even get the losing points as it wasn't my PvP system!
Can any of this come through to Scopely?
Feedback doesn't always lead to immediate action, or not always public facing action anyway.
It's a numbers game of amount/time to assign priority, if any. Continue posting your thoughts here and in the surveys.
As for becoming a casualty of war because PVP systems of other brackets aren't communicated to you clearly,
I've sent the suggestion in to mark those as described in my earlier message.
Some feed back new faction war event has a lot of potential, I'd suggest making it better by removing the ability to score points using independent ships, and force players to use faction ships to score points that way there can actually be pvp and not a bunch of players avoiding all the pvp as literally no one is trying to do any pvp
@lyric lily thanks for bringing that suggestion to them... It would be very helpful to know what to avoid. Any way of communicating where other brackets' PvP systems are would be more than helpful!
You guys are huge jerks for making all the event systems free-for-all pvp systems as well. Whales just camp in every system and kill everyone. It's the same story every single time you do this BS. No one but these assholes wants to pvp. Stop doing it!
I did not know how makes the German translation but The translation is totally wrong and does not correspond to the series. Also, the tasks mistranslated had to do something completely different
Older servers have huge brackets and scopely have never fixed them. The bracket is 30-50. In the newer events like the recruitment one the brackets are smaller but not by much
These events are in brackets, the whales can't just kill everyone and score points they have their own systems to go to for it. I'm level 35 and sadly my server is a massive farmville server. The last couple of "pvp" events the pvp systems have been empty but the pve systems have been full. The pve option needs to be removed from the events completely and just do a PVP event. If people want the rewards then they will break with the boring norm of just killing reds and actually experiment with their ships and crews. I'd they dont they can log off for the day and do something else in real life.
This game is literally a pvp game. 
Making the lower levels bait is just shit.
I really don't have any suggestions how to fix the event/or the PvP dilemma
sorry wrong reply
I have been using speed ups for repairing ships and spending parasteel on updating ships for the Current mystery officer event answers for officer 2 and 3. These are not triggering a win.
The event simply says use a speed up or spend parasteel-am I missing another criteria?
I just did 780k at lvl 28. Saving up the right buildings to level is the trick
Iām a bit ticked off. Didnāt mean to post it in two places, but this seems to be the most appropriate.
REDUCE PLAY TIME! You said months ago you had plans to reduce the time required to complete dailies and events, since then you have only made things more time consuming... stupid events that require 150 hostile kills, or 38 pvp wins... multiple events at once that all require different things to be done, and don't even get me started on god damn faction hunt. We have players quitting left right and centre because this game is consuming their life, you need to fix it
Faction hunt isnāt that hard, using 2-3 ships can be done in like 15-20 min per faction, sometimes faster
And the time in game is entirely your choice, yes they will have events, but how much time you spend in game is entirely up to you, spend more time achieve more, spend the time you have, I work a full time day job, I spend the time I want too in game when I can, and I can still get the majority of events done.
fair point of being able to put in however much time you want... but OP was reminding us that $copely said they recognized the daily time commitment and planned to reduce it but didn't
The PvP event is a JOKE. Even if you don't opt in AND are in systems that are out of your bracket, you get attacked by players who are in systems that are in THEIR bracket. How is it fair if I get NOTHING for a loss in Unrorth because it's not a valid PvP system for ops 36, but the ops 33 players where it is valid get the points for killing me? IF you can't figure out a FAIR and BALANCED PvP event don't run them.
Well donāt go in there then, how hard is that?? Get killed once oh well, repair your ship and go somewhere else, how hard is that?? Itās a pvp game,
as others have pointed out, he might not know it's event PvP for others because $copely doesn't communicate well.
enjoying the good factor credit loot with the events lately. thank you
@uneven relic , I had NO idea that Unroth was a PvP system in the 33 bracket UNTIL 2 of my ships were hit after doing Armadas. At least the person hitting wasn't wrecking Armadas, but consider what could Easily happen with the way things were set up for this event.
<@&509691205798592532> I appreciate you all bringing back a Wesley event! However, due to the lack of opportunities to acquire more Assignment Speed Ups along the way, since their release, we seem to not be able to fully participate in this event. There does not seem to be Assignment Speed Ups in any of the Daily Goals, Gifts, or in any of the Packs I've looked in on the Store. I would've appreciated the opportunity to be competitive in this event. I hope you consider this feedback and offer some way for Assignment Speed Ups to be available before the Wesley event is over. Thanks!
Faction Warfare is very nice event, better than previous pvp. Some people really playing in farmville, but some have fun) But why its ticketed? Make this free to join)
That's a hour of grinding with 3 ships in one system, now do it with one ship, that's 3hrs
Itās kinda hard to avoid systems where PVP events are happening for other brackets when you canāt see a list of systems/brackets for all players. š¤·š»āāļø
No offense, but scopely needs to have the timers of regular armadas be the same as Exchange Armadas. Why do you think Apex Outlaw is still a good event where everyone participates while faction armadas are a pain.
Hunt with your ViDar or non faction ship. They don't earn points if they blow you up, but you do. In fact, park your base there and throw a Realta at them over and over again. They get 0, you get 2 for blowing up
Why should I?
If I wanted to participate I wouldnāt be saying we need to know all the systems for all the brackets. š¤·š»āāļø
Better communication of event details is the issue. Look above at how part of the āWho am I?ā event lacked the key detail of the speed up needing used had to be a building speed up till they realized it was important and edited the text after it was live.
Because the way the scoring works, it only looks for the faction ship if you win PvP. Not if you lose or blow up hostiles. Just saying there's a loophole for those who don't want to do PvP.
Or cheat the system
As far as other systems, a systems glow tells how many ships are present in system. The red glow means there's a lot of people there, so chances are it's a pvp system.
this isn't reliable, I've looked at some systems glowing and saw no one and other times I look in non-glowing systems and there are hundreds of ships
That is true, since when is the game designer reliable
Glowing systems relates to the amount of combat happening. We've made systems glow just by raiding a base.
In addition to not knowing about the speed up being a building speed up, there comes a time when someone runs out of buildings to speed up because they are holding off on an ops level up. I'm 29 currently, and a jump to 30 opens up a lot, but I also want to be done or mostly done with the research available to me now before making that jump. If there is an event requiring a building speed up in the future, I can't participate unless I change how I plan to play.
Allow swarm armadas to count for rare event. At least they spawn and people can find them
how should i participate in away team event, when the automatic and manually refresh doesn't work?? <@&509691205798592532> <@&509691611903426561>
About PvP event. It's positive that PvP event's get more structure in how players are matched and that they routed to same place to find matches. Yet I went PvE way despite the need to kill 150 hostiles. Main reason is that for PvE, I sent ship and grind until done. For PvP battle(lost or won) repair is needed which means travel time and if I cannot relocate that is going to be a pain for 35-75 battles what was for my bracket. I'm actually interested for some "fair" PvP yet almost all events fail on logistics issues. Like travel times, specific conditions which need to be met, low interest from players for PvP due to above mentioned. It looks like people planning events do not understand game mechanics and players. It's OK to do PvP cool down for a min or two to set my crew but I really don't want 3-5 min of travel in best case scenario just for one battle that. You already have several types of speed-ups in game. Why not use speed ups for travel for PvP.
Itās the point system. Same system is good because it will prevent cheating from grinding bots. But who wants to repair full hull for a measly 2/4 points when you can kill reds for 1 point each.
The 40+ as i understood could just park in archer and kill a realta 75 times in pvp to complete all three.
thx for a free evening, scopely š š
Ok Scopely, so you added an extra day for Rare Armadas, doubtful itāll help much, but at least itās something thx. But what about the Epic Armada Event? Still only one day for them? When they spawn even slower than Rares? Seriously!?
And for the sake of our sanity, never EVER have Armada Leaderboard and Milestones running on the same day again. Thatās a major reason why these current Armada Events are so aggravating. Cuz even when players are finished with their individual SMS, theyāre still hunting for more targets to help their Alliances in the ALB. The frustration never lessens until the ALB is over
I'm with you. I don't understand why they don't speed up the spawn rate for armadas during these events. Especially since it would likely mean that more people would buy armada directives if there was actually something to use them on!
you forgot about picard slb which scores spending rare and epic directives also and gonna start tomorrow
gonna be rough
I don't understand why armadas aren't instant respawn
It makes no sense in gameplay balance
It makes no sense as a business model
It makes no sense for customer satisfaction
It makes no sense for event balance
It makes no sense as a gating measure
ššššššš
I HATE these armada events! Scopley is so completly out of touch with reality it's comical.
Scopley: I have a great idea for an event ARMADAS!
Players: Great idea we like armadas
Scopley: Here you go guys enjoy
Players: it's way to hard to find armadas to run, I spent hours trying to find any.
Scopley: Great feed back, we're going to adjust the timers and add more to the event to make it better,
Players: This should be way better I'm looking forward to being able to run some armadas.
2 hours later
Players: I've been searching for an armada for 2 hours, I only missed that last one by 6 seconds!
Players : 3 hours NO armadas, Scopley time to rethink your improvemets. This is a waste of my time.
This is a pretty good summary š letās hope the promised changes are to instant respawn as you propose
No one present in system on Server 29 and uncommon Regen for event still unchanged as stated.
Oh it's lagging again. How disappointing.
It seems everyone i talk to was also thrown off by this timer.. please bring back event store.
the arc is not over yet...
i thought i had more time aswell. now all ive got is a stack of picard coins
So the last Armada Event was a disaster and now the same thing again? What the hell Scopely? I couldn't even score a single point if I wanted because there are still no armadas around!
@silver moth there was literally ticking down timer the entire time. Was there for over a week.
like every weekend makes Scopely 3000000000 P2 events š¤¢š¤¢š¤¢š¤¢š¤¢š¤¢š¤¢
extremely annoying, pointless and not fun
welcome to the future
I've got chen on a d4 why am I not scoring?
Captain? I havenāt seen the event yet but thatās how it worked last time.
no it wasn't
Listed officer had to be captain.
Yes, officer exchange program. The officer has to be captain, they havenāt fixed the event text yet.
thank you for a 2. free evening scopely š
Recruit picard slb: Even though frequency modulators are listed as g3 mats, you dont get any points. Guess i have to open armadas as level 20.... somehow š¤·āāļø
Armada event is terrible. The only way to score is to suffer sleep deprivation and wait till the middle of the night when fewer people are on and even then you may have to wait hours till you see a target. Armadas are generally not fun on top of that because you just sit around doing nothing for 15 minutes. Very poor idea scopely.
Hi Guys, I dont know what happen, why dont receive my points on Event. someone help me. thx
first Kirk and Second time, Magro (Blue Doctor)
- joined event? 2) correct officers as captain 3) correct ship (for fed event has to be rom or Klingon faction ship
Credit where credit is due ā¦nice brackets for Picard spender ā¦but ā¦. Iām pretty sure next spender will be the same as before š hope Iām not right
thx for support
Where are all the rare armadas. I think the spawn rate actually got worse. Plenty in deep space for the whales but I cant get there yet. Face palm!
You know I understand why you would try to get alliances to fight each other but it is really strange that you are now doing events designed to tear alliances apart.
It's another Saturday and no COSMIC CLEANUP event. AGAIN! WTF?!
3 hours scrolling... Nope... Nope... Yay, got one ! 15mn wasting... 5sec pew pew... ad lib... Ooohhh what a fun armada event ! š©š©š©
Not sure why you even have this āfeedbackā channel when the feedback given is never taken into account. Fix the fn respawn rate for armadas. Not sure how much clearer that can be and yet, you seem to f it up and miss the point.
@hallow sky wasn't there an announcement made that there would be improvements to Armada events? Just a heads up nothing has changed on Server 29.
Scopely: Where can I send my expense report for you to replace my devices' screen protector? The constant looking through systems for armadas has worn it out.
Spawn rate will be change later. This time they change points needed, and neutral armada are scoring
@pallid sand so it's an event meant for deep space as all of them seem to be there. Seems like a high roller event than anything. Another disappointment it seems.
This āfixā of extending or having neutral zone armadas count makes no difference when there are no armadas to be found. Itās just obvious that scopely just wanted to get more cash for armada packs, so they extended Iām the days instead..
They are only easy to find in deep space because few player can reach, and less can kill them.... Nothing to do with the event itself
They need to address the issue.. stop doing the back to back armada events when there arenāt any servers that can keep up.. but we know they will never happen since they only want to weed out the ftp players and keep the whales
As long as they don't touch spawn rate, every armada event will be waiting event
You mean an event of disappointment and waste of time and money.
What's the point of having two congruent events where one rewards you Picard shards at the end of the event and the other scores points for collecting Picard shards during the even and then having them end at the same time. There is currently one event going on that can earn you a whole one Picard shard and they aren't available in the store. The level of ineptitude at Scopely is beyond comprehensible.
It's another event geared to make you pay and play but you can't have a life and you can do nothing else except stay in game. It's the 3rd disappointing Armada Event @hallow sky wtf man.
Ticleted events have been well balanced and value for money with regards rewards vs time spent. [not that good value for money - before you think of reducing the value]
The Faction PVE/PVP was great, once i realised that using a vidar wouldn't score points for those doing PvP š
it only took 75 x npc kills in the selected system to complete all 3 tickets š
Thanks š» [ don't ask for feedback re: armadas]
It's just frustrating... Also this complete arc. It's only living because of tng. It's almost stupid, boring and absolutely unmotivated done stuff. The ones at Scopely which decided to make it this way is a bunch of....
@vagrant topaz not in regards to Faction and Marauder Events....just sayin.
Also I'd like to order a Rare Armada in Azati space please. Hot and Fresh, the last one was coldššš
faction warfare was done within 40mins using a 1.1m vidar in jiwu'puh.
Joined all 3 events -[3 tickets] killied 75 npcs finished all 3 events. no one pvp'd because they wouldn't score points for killing me
The rare armada event is a total no-go. Itās hard enough finding any uncommons but no one is wasting hard to get rare directives on anything but the most valuable targets possible. This least to about 8 locations in the entire galaxy that are patrolled constantly where spawns only happen a couple times a day. To make it wors you manipulated the points so we have to do at least 2 of them. You could give us a week and many people still wouldnāt be able to complete it.
The better points for an epic or rare type events work but this rare only event is really bad as others have pointed out
<@&509690795536941056> another poor armada event. No armadas to be found anywhere. Can't do the rare event as no rares anywhere in the server. Can't do uncommons as no uncommons anywhere in the server. Epics don't score but loads of those around. Massively poorly thought out event again. No changes made to the event even after all the feedback when it was last run. Event should have been pulled. Really hope you arrange for every one to get an apology pack for the 2 events as people are unable to do the events due to there not being any armadas anywhere in any system
I would have to agree. Just wasted over 90 minutes trying to find a rare armada without success.
There are literally 0 armadas up in the level 39 zones on server 37 right now. This is ridiculous for yāall not to have changed the respawn timers on the armadas by now. For there to be no armadas up during an armada event is inexcusable. Fix it, scampley.
Totally agree. Also third day with armadas
Cāmon everyone, donāt put $copely down, they likely increased the re-spawn rate by 0.01%.
No armadas over lvl31 in server 17. Last rate was 30mim ago. No one from lvl31 to lvl38, and just is hard to find then and hard to collect rare directives !!!
Please Scopely, surely itās a simple variable to change the respawn.
Armada events suck, I spent 2 hours cycling through bookmarked systems looking for a rare and I'm still looking. Even the stupid "take hull damage" event in the TOS arc was better than this because even though I was repeatedly punching myself in the face while doing it, I'd actually had some made progress.
Scopely. This event sucked the first time. Still sucks the second time. No armadas. Not even trying anymore to find a stupid rare.
Wait until the epic version tomorrow, lol
Thanks Scopely for having a event where you donāt Identify the officer you want in the event! There are 2-3 James T Kirks in the game! O wait ones is a cadet! Thanks for nothing
Players: we hate this event!
Scopely: Lets run this event twice as often for twice as long!
it was a scheduled run and it is twice as long for less points needed, give credit where it's due
No maximum was shown for the geordi pulls for the ticketed Officer Exchange Program event buf Geordi disappeared. I demamd compensation since i would not have spenf tickets had i known
@junior spear twice as long but exact same amount of points needed. more time doesnt help if there are still no targets.
also gonna be a concurrent epic run tomorrow. those spawn even less.
Lots of goodies in my inventory that seem obsolete. What's happening with these tokens which some haven't been used since I started.
the Armada's respawn time remains downright miserable. Armada's events are fun to do. If you can do it, that's not the case. Increase the respawn speed, as with Stella Armada 1 min respawn time. And decrease the duration of the Armada 15 min to 6 min
please donate me some command badges lol
Event is STILL a JOKE. Respawn timers need to be cut significantly for ALL regular Armadas.
Here's a simple suggestion. Respawns are on a clock cycle. Uncommons every hour, rares every 2 hours. Epics every 4 hours. Simple check when the timer counts down. Has this armada been destroyed? Yes respawn it, no don't spawn. Sure in occasional cases you'll have an armada be destroyed just before it's internal timer counts down and it will quickly respawn, but that shouldn't happen often and even when that occurs wouldn't affect the total number of armadas potentially available.
Respawn times need faster, hella lot faster..
Armada event could honestly be great, just need to upp spawn times or make it so they respawn at the rate of eclipse armadas during an armada event
Or remove spawn rates on all armadas so as soon as they go pop a new one appears
Let me make sure I understand this. 12 epic systems in the 30's with spawn rates roughly between 1.5 to 8 DAYS each for an entire server to complete a 24 hour event?!? sigh
This epic armada event is BS!!!!
Epic Armadas? scopely you're having a lauugh......
Arc started shit.....you manged to pulll it back.......... i gave you praiise,even defended you
....guess what - it's ended shit,
The devs & community manager has fecked off .......
Only one set of tickets today? After showing two with time locks for the past 24 hours?
Why only 1 ticket for officer exchange? We got 2 yesterday!!
We should get 3!
I think we spend enough on packs
I'd voice my feedback on the epic armada event thing but it seems everybody else is well on top of that right now, but I'd like to voice my complaints about the cadence of events this arc.
There have been multiple days where there's been very little to do event wise (several days where I've been done with events in 10-15 minutes after they started) yet tonight the events are the opposite extreme.
I know you'll never please everybody but a little balance between the two extremes would be appreciated. š¤£
I take that back 6 ticket events should get 6 tickets
this event can't be done, because of the bad respawn time!!!!!!
Fix it
Or no make this type of event
They have two sets yesterday and showed both cards with timelocks all day, but today the 2nd set disappeared?!
Yeah the armada events are trash! Bad respawn times, not enough armada targets. Ridiculous
SECOND TICKETS EVENTUALLY APPEARED
Really?!!!!!!! Wait rares are difficult to find letās do something even harder and an event that the dirs are also not forthcoming
Fix the respawns time than people can do this event... Why scopely not fix it ...š
Respawn rates... FIX THEM!
Bad planning all the way around considering the ALB covers uc, rare and epic. As soon as the first days events started everything was getting ran.
And then only one day!!!! After increasing rares to two! Learn anything?
Maybe have your content planners actually play the game or fire them and find ones that do
Armada events
thx for 3rd free evening in a roy, scopely
and also thx for thinning out the number of players after the merge.
every day a couple of players are quitting the game due to annoying events
Same report as every Sunday for the past ~20 weeks.
Why do you pick sundays to pile on events. Thereās double the number of events to do today compared to every other day. Sunday is not a day off for everyone. Sick and tired of not being able to compete. Spread them out over the week!!
Wow scorply way to overload the events. STOP DOING IT ON A SUNDAY EVENING. Armada events suck you was told that when you first ran them and haven't changed anything. You are meant to have introduced a game life balance instead you are going down the game IS life path rather then making sure people actually have a real life away from here. People will spend more if they know they don't have to spend 24hrs a day in the game to be able to compete. If they suspect they have to spend more time here then with family they will quit. Sort it out. @tropic ibex <@&509690795536941056> please give feedback around the insane thinking of overloading events.
In the past 85 minutes Iāve seen one epic armada being run, and no others available or in progress. Improved respawn rates? Where?
So for the officer exchange events, the Discovery ship should technically count as a federation ship with a Klingon officer⦠just sayin
The damage done to uncommon armadas doesn't seem to be scoring any points lol
<@&509691205798592532> when I complained about the rare armada events, they got fixed. How is it the epic wasn't taken into consideration???? Those timers are significantly worst and there is no way for ppl in active alliances to complete the epic event. Recommend compensation chests for those that don't complete the event.
I want to complain about epic's armada event. You unleash an armada galore with an only 24h event time. You should increment respawn 10x. You don't learn from previous mistakes...
Armadas should have a minute or two respawn time maximum and they should be in more systems. Thanks you.
Not enough armadas and respawn rate is a joke.
Should be in every system
I've seen 1 epic in over 2 hours and that was a 39. This event is BOGUS . Why should we be FORCED to be on ALL day in the hope that we can actually find an Epic to run.
Lol please tell me how to complete this event? There are 100+ players who are looking for epic amardas and only few amardas with bad respawn time
Scopley, why do you hate us?
I think scopely dont know their own game.... otherwise they wouldnt do such events. idk if were allowed to call this a event.. its more a "waiting simulator"..
Yeahā¦Scopely, ya done messed up AGAIN! Iām done. Make the events achievable with a 2-4 hour play time, or donāt friggin bother.
Iām not spending 12 hours/day for 3 days hunting for Rare or Epic armadas on the 4% chance I actually catch one to start. Yāall can jump off a bridge with that logic.
It is events like this that make me SERIOUSLY reconsider WHY I play this game. And my camelās back is near breaking. Knock this sh&t off.
It's not rocket science. Let me put this in terms that even a Denebian Slime Devil can grasp. You know exactly how many qualifying armadas can spawn in a 24 hour span. You know exactly how many points they will pay out for the event. Therefore you know how many players can potentially complete the event. Obviously you think that a completion rate below 25% is acceptable. It's NOT. This is as bad or worse than your INSIPID Whale Lottery SCAMS where the vast majority of the players have ZERO chance to crack the leaderboard.
The excuse we can't change respawn rate is unbelievable. I cannot believe you would hard code variables such as respawn rate... especially since you made an update quickly. It's a scam and dumb agile project management excuses. var=respawn rate = xxxxms gimme a break
Listened to complaints and changed the rare event then for some reason didnāt connect those complaints to the upcoming epic part. Fascinating
Rev said their excuses were that there wasn't time to fix.... and it was a weekend
Iāll tell you as soon as I know myself š¤£
ššššš
Looking sense event started for epics not a single one to be found but finding rares everywhere but during rare armada event I was finding epics everywhere get it together scoply
LOL Scopley: Hey we know and fixed the rare event by extending it.... How about we do that to the epic and have it overlap on sat? Nah why do that? Facepalm
Doesn't matter no epic directives not buying any until I can find one
This is miserable and Iām not interested in playing even if I skip the stupid armada event. Everyone is on edge worried that they are going to miss an epic so no one is doing anything else and thereās about eleventy hundred other events. The people who are playing are snapping at each other. The fun is gone. The only reason to play a game is to have fun and this is no fun. And Scopely knew how miserable this was and still ran the epic event. The changes to the rare event made it almost tolerable but there was no saving this event and they know it and donāt seem to care. Pretty sure this is it for me but itās more than me, itās a server full of grouches.
Rewards aren't worth the annoyance
"Who's That Officer?" event is missing (lvl 26 here)
Then they should have cancelled it. If they canāt do it right, they shouldnāt do it at all.
Hard to complete an event, or even get an opportunity if the armadas to do so donāt ever appear on the map
Works for Epic armadas too...
Think of epic armadas like a heroic quest... while I'm at it, I will also be looking for the lost city of Atlantis and the Holy Grail... I don't have much hope for the armadas, but I'm feeling optimistic about the other 2š„±
No rares targ 56 event sucks
24 events in one day. Quality of life improvements ehh scopely?
Volunteer chat moderators, we have no such powers. And don't swear, for that we do. @stoic lotus
Looking for hours, there are no Amanda left.. why the respawn times.. every guild fighting for it
These armada events....as you have numbers of players for each servers
What was the point putting on these events, which i am sure were a dismal failure for your bean counters.
No armadas available no pack sales !!
Howscthe next bethetic apologies coming scopely ?
Lost sales nothing to loss of reputation and player satisfaction.
Pretty sure the latter be in negative numbers
Scopelyā¦I have an ideaā¦ā¦give me my money back or put up some epic armadasā¦ā¦ā¦my time is more valuable them spending hours wasted looking for 1 epic never-mind 3 or 4ā¦ā¦OMFG
I need for completing all armada events, 4/5 uncommon - 3/4 rare - epic one.. there are nothingš
Not the only one in the server . My guild mates need the same amount
Ridiculous, respawns times
Helloā¦.helloā¦.scopelyā¦ā¦almost 2 hours an not one 30 epic in the 3 systemsā¦ā¦.helloā¦.Hello
On server 20, havent seen a single epic for hours. Cant complete event if you wont give us what is needed
All the epic respawn bots must be on break or an early vacay
Will there be any armadas for the armada event? geebus....
This thing on?!?! tap tap....
Hello the event "What's That Officer" is missing for level 20-29 players.
Over the past 6 hours of play I have yet to see a single epic armada, available or being run by someone else. NOTHING THERE!
Whoever the genius was, who came up with the EPIC Armada event, should be promoted. Probably no better way to frustrate the majority of all players
Yesā¦yesā¦promote himā¦.make him an @epic commanderā¦ā¦ā¦pfffff
Poorly thought out event. Too many players, not enough epics and ridiculous spawn rates.
Yes great event motivated my entire alliance to log off
I mean it is simple math. They could have figured out before hand that this is a mass frustration setup
Whoever came up with an epic armada event, and the lack of epic armadas to start, needs to be drawn and quartered, while lying on a bed of salt.
Not enough epics? Try ZERO epics!
Want a realistic event? How about getting alliance members to leave in huge numbers because this monthās armada events were an epic failure? Weāve lost at least 5. Thanks Dopely.
Dopelyā¦ā¦ā¦lmfao
No armadas are respawning not even UCs... their new code is probably horribly flawed.
Helloā¦.helloā¦scopelyā¦.Iāve checkedā¦.Noakynā¦..HāAtoriaā¦..Galorden.Core every 5 minutes for the past 3 hoursā¦ā¦NOT 1 epic has appearedā¦ā¦.Iām sure I will be updating you in another hour
Hereās how you fix armada events: make them ALLIANCE. Milestone instead of solo milestone.
Oh and this is server 53 btwā¦..if you want too fix ours at least ā¦.never mind the other servers bahahahahaha
Theyāre all just as bad.
I knowā¦.lol
I'm sure they'll blame an Amazon outage or something again.
Or COVID maybe
Not much fun spending hours combing systems with the hope of getting an armada. At least with other timesinks and farming SLBs you get some rewards from drops, rep, loot chests etc
This, you can spend hours looking and get nothing.
Let me try to put this in a language you might understand. You make your money by selling armada directives, that is the element that should be restricted in supply, not the armadas themselves.
If you made it such that there was always at least 1 armada in a system but you had to clear uncommons and rares to spawn an epic, the other directives would be in demand as well.
"We learned our lesson from the previous rare armada event by creating an epic armada event." š¤
...and also the shit show of a borg armada arc last year š¹
This is insanely frustrating and so poorly thought out, I can only surmise Scopely spent no time considering the event, the mechanics, and the impact on players. After the rare armada shit show, it's even more frustrating they moved forward with it. It's not like they didn't have any warning.
loving the ticketed & "who's the officer" interlude events.
I was very anti-purchasing event ticket packs.
Recently purchased the £45 pack and I now see the value.
Such a shame this great change has been ruined by the armada events
Whereās the increased spawn rate? Itās not in any 34 plus system.
Your player base is sick of giving you the same feedback for every armada event. Why donāt you listen? The absolute disrespect for your customer will cost you b
Hey guess whatā¦ā¦an epic showed in 2 of the lev 30 systems after 4 hoursā¦..at least 5 peeps from 2 other teams can work on the event
No this was deliberate continual armadas 1st run rare armadas was true scopely, epic event no different
Why you would do this scratching the head level of ....
worst event ever, what armadas ?
Was day after day armada event then the two monster clusters rare and epic armadas
My guess is that they heard the feedback on the rare event, adjusted it, utterly failed to note that epic event was scheduled and would have similar issues far more intensely.
Itās part of the pathological problems with successful change and act on feedback promptly and consistently: incapacity to comprehend the product analytically and systematically. Shallow touches are always preferable, shallow comprehension is not.
And if this was planned a month in advance, and knowing the parameters for rare and epic armadas. Spawn rates be inadequate at best !!
Their pipelines have long lead times that pair poorly with demonstrably short memories and a toolchain that seems incapable of enabling meaningful cross-references. Iād be scared on my own shadow in making changes if that was my track record, but Scopely seems to keep reinforcing those weaknesses rather than working to overcome them.
The borg cube event was bad 1st time around 2nd time was just as terrible 12mths latter
Fill you with confidence?
Part there problem secret squirrel keeping them and players in the dark re new content
Blowing there ownvtrumpet and fyi
There platforms out there that could promote game and information about it not using at all
So, how many multiday events you ending on my Monday this week? It's bad enough you got event reset @2am... but now you want to ensure I've got 0 chance of placing in these events... why don't you just post events nonamericans can't place in & be done with the charade...š
It's not like we can get another chance at sourcing these rewards,officers don't come back...
This is complex game two different ios but planning and testing should be 110% required before updating realsing next patch ect
Territory is a fizzer as that crashes servers so hope updated pipe dream there
The respawn time on these epic armadas were terrible - I hope you will send a compensation chest for everyone for wasting our time and directives on calling small epics <@&509691417686442004>
90% of the people on my server are not going to finish the armada events because they donāt spawn fast enough
Have literally been trying 9 1/2 hrs
This epic armada event is stupid need minimum 2 armadas to finish and you can't find even 1 in time
Ridiculous armada event. You know the spawn rates are a MAJOR issue Scopely, but you still decide to hold another fkn event anyways. Righteous job, fantastic! Put the fix in first then throw the armadas. FAIL.
Just flood their support with tickets.
They canāt āfixā the timer on armadas mid arc, itās a server side thing, please refer to the latest mod announcement, the epic event was scheduled and they proceeded and I admit that wasnāt wise
Sure, the feedback stands: there was an event on the calendar that was going to exacerbate problems, and it was retained. I'm not claiming that there was a ready fix available for making supply adequate to demand within the event's originally scheduled duration. The consequences in player frustration and wasted directives are still there with even more valuable directives.
The epic armada event is an absolute joke! Wow! You canāt participate if they arenāt there!
If you know the event will fail why launch then? Better to say we messed up event will not work as intended sorry here are some rewards anyway.
No chance of completing these š© armada events... 0 points
@frozen lodge Americans can't work with the timing of these events either, they begin and end in the middle of the workday. Event times appear to be ideally placed for Asia.
i looked for an epic armada all day and couldn't find one. Games are supposed to be fun not impossible hide and seek. I'm just done with stfc.
almost the day is over. And still there are not enough Armadas... on my server level 40 + fight for level 21 Armadas!, then you can really see how badly this is arranged....
epic armada event is a real disgrace. i bought the armada pack have been monitoring lvl 35 armada systems all night and never not once did one appear. i will make a case for a refund.
The Final Wave: Armada Tactial Force is a disaster! Even with the Marauder, Slave Market and Pirate targets there are fer less targets than in the bad rare target event we had a week ago.
How many of the whales can kill those
that is rubbish, they sell a pack with armada directives for this event and there is a lack of armadas in the time window reasonably to access them. after watching those systems all night, some people also have a day job
Only top 25 gain from alliance armada event. Absolutely ridiculous.
And we have to spend so much in directives how about giving directives as prizes instead of useless res, we can all farm for.
Also whos bright idea was it to finish weekend end on Monday 5pm when
most of Europe will be at work n cant compete for top 25 finish.
Wake up before
you start losing players
Worst event ever. No one bought any armada packs as they can't find any to launch even if they need more directives.
WHOS THAT OFFICER
why is the event missing for some people?
There are many empty systems. Put a large number of rare and epic targets for armadas in them.
@junior spear , this actually started a couple of weeks ago when the first run of Armada Resistance/Follow the Leader was scrapped. That cost players 300 rare directives with NO compensation. Over the course of the Arc most players would have gotten enough uncommon directives to pull extra rare directives via chests, so losing that run cost most folks 2 rare armadas (with the associated event rewards/possibility of earning 1 or more chests).
@brisk osprey, IF you're on a newer or low population server that may be true. You might not have Alliances with high enough members to tackle bigger Armadas even if you can reach systems like Ursva and Groombridge 40. Just because you have range 38 doesn't mean that you have anywhere near the firepower to hit a 28m uncommon, let alone a 64m epic.
We have one of the most powerful people on our server in our alliance, but we are only 32 people and we need a few minutes to prepare for epic armadas.
It is so frustrating that non of us is able to finish the epic solo MS event, because another alliance is literally instantly starting across the entire galaxy all epic armadas. They fighting for that stupid ranking event, always the same people in it and nobody else can finish their solo.
It became a full time job to scout the epic armadas AND i am sure many people wasting their most valuable epic directives as they have to rush and fail in result.
How that should be fun? You make people again spending 24/7 and everyone is getting frustrated!
Hour after hour after hour scanning and searching and asking if anyone sees an epic armada and still no one in my alliance able to find a single one. Congratulations on another spectacular failure Scopely š
Im glad our big boys pulled us through via dark space armadas ..doesnāt feel like I achieved something, tho
This armada event is the worst. I haven't seen a rare or epic armada in the last 24 hours. I'm completely disappointed in the product, Scopely.
The team at Scopely that plans out these events needs to be fired before too many people quit in frustration.
1hr from reset. Managed to get to first tier in rare armada event. Not on the board for epics at all.
These events are impossible. Absolutely pathetic planning from scopley to go ahead with these events after all the backlash from the first one.
... and how anyone thought 24 hrs to do epic was feasible after having to give 48 for rare is beyond all sense and logic
But you only need 1 39 epic at ops 35 to complete cant you solo that. (Sarcasm just in case anyone can't tell context)
Good news scopley you're still incompetent!
Iād be more than willing to try solo it. That would mean Iāve at least had the opportunity lay my eyes on one
If you were just willing to put in the 6000 hours of search time you'd be done already, Some people...
I guess when you test these events on your server with the 5 people on it finding thses are easy
I have never had my time valued so little
Made a joke in galaxy they just spawn them to test
if this doesn't show how little they think of the people who pay their bills nothing will
I get better service and more results going to the DMV
hmm VA or scopely support who is worse?
Haven't dealt with the VA but my money is on scopley
This epic armada event ist possible one of the worst ideas which scopely had yet (and that's saying something). Especially when you consider that this disaster was absolutely predictable.
Note that even after the complaints NOBODY at Scopely has bothered to acknowledge what a fustercluck this event had been.
We were chatting about the epic Armada event in our alliance today. Most of my alliancemates have been watching for Epic Armadas all day... and struggled to get a few. I don't think any of us in our alliance have been able to complete the top tier of the event.
In talking about it we realised how crazy this is to complete.
Let's take a server and say 20 alliances have 50 active players trying to complete it.
Each player needs at least 2 to complete the event.
That means '2000' player slots are needed.
If it's possible to run 5 in an alliance (probably possible), then you take a fifth of that...
and you are left with a need for 400 epic armadas in a server.
About 35 systems have Epic Armadas, but maybe up to half aren't helpful in completing the event in just two runs.
So you're looking at between 10-20 Armadas have to spawn per system to give any chance of completing the event.
Our server has way more than 20 alliances, and many have way more than 50 players trying to complete the event.
In short, there are way too few Armadas practically spawning in one day to stand any reasonable chance of completing this event...
this was the first event ever that I was unable to complete due to lack of content. Thanks for nothing scopely. Massive fail.
A total joke. They could have at least made it rare and epic to give us a chance. I wasted hours yesterday scanning systems to find an epic and never came close. I saw a total of 2 and they were already taken by other alliances. I got up at 5am EDT to try and get one and got nothing. This completely sucked
Why do I have ABSOLUTELY NO events for today? Not even dailies or Latinum Rush.
BattlePass over. i completed all the dailys and i ended up 1000 points short. that dont seem right based on the past months i have done.
<@&509690795536941056> @tropic ibex can we get s couple of edits to Military Supremacy please. Edit 1 don't run them on week days when people have to work. Edit 2 reduce the level of ships that is needed in relation to what level of systems players are able to go too. Level 40 hostiles for 34+ when a majority of the systems are level 39s and only 2 level 40 systems is a joke. It means there are no level 40 hostiles anywhere. Reduce it down to 39+ till you hit 38 then make it 40+ as then you can reach more level 40+ systems
If you do edit 2 you won't need to do edit 1
Actually there are a lot of 39 and 40 systems for it they dont have to be faction systems i done my first one in a system where I was by my self
Is it me or did we not get a second batch of red tickets to unlock the story missions that were in the store until 5pm?
Yes, cow and MilSup events can be any hostile, not just faction.
Question about event rewards... Lets say I won some shards in a 'recruit picard' event (or rly any other rewards in any other event).. how long will they keep flashing in upper right corner? how long do I have to pick them up, if lets say, I am out for a day or two?
If I log back into the game in, lets say, 30-36 hours since the events ended (where I scored a reward), will rewards still be up there in event window?
@regal portal I don't believe u, u posted that only 41 mins after event begin...... Even u kill all 40 lel hostiles, and in crowd system. Kill one need 5 seconds cool down and target need average another 5 seconds, so at least need 5000 seconds to finished, means in 41 mins u can't finished it!
I don't know why you post that, just show u r a awesome , smart player?
<@&509690795536941056> @tropic ibex Can we change military supremacy points rule? like kill 38 +1 point , 39 +2 points 40 +3 points.... That will more efficient in same system for every players, we don't need waiting refresh or trash hit for target lel show up .
we need more hub systems! military supremacy relying on places like wolf is dumb!
Yeah ,hate that, but add system compared change rule , change points count more easyš¤
Ursva and Groombridge for me killing 40s if you can handle them its pretty good
My wallet can't handle them 𤣠just 34 lel , have tie 4 ent most likely impossible š«
My t5 intrepid handles them just fine
My 39 mate with his 900k Stella work on rogue 40+ system, that is just fine šš¤£
But for most us, it's hard job in weekdays š«
Hmm good idea there for stella use
That long way... Just wishing they can change a little, make it more easy for us
Mine is under 700k but cheaper to repair might do a test
No, 700k not enough kill 4m 40lel transport, u research not enough....
Good lucky , wishing I am wrong, budš¤
If someone was using multiple ships they could do it in much less timesā¦
- two ships = 2500 seconds
- three ships = 1670 seconds
- four ships = 1250 seconds
Plus maybe a tier on appropriate ship
@fringe hinge you can also complete the event by building an epic
How is 2am a bonus for Asia? No joy for nz at 4am or Singapore's midnight...š
Hmm diffrent schedule than us we have. Well some of us have supremacy
@potent bough ha-ha, forgot that š¤
@granite abyss need too much time online, really hard with really lifeš
it's why I'm cutting back my game play on July 1, why that day vs today, because š
Why is scopely not counting in-between lvls of armadas? Was just told only designated lvls are counted for final phase event. That needs to be way more clear lvl 38 armadas are not small
Oh.. respawn rate was deplorable
You killed a rare. The event you show was for epics
Itās not the level, but the typeā¦
2 arcs ...and i dont have a full DOS officer or TNG officer .....have i now forever no Chance to get the Rest of the parts???? I promise i never ever will pay for BP Elite...never any . . .
Same with the black jelly event ...onnmy server i dont have the Chance to got under the first 3. Some of the players hsbe the 3. Black jelly ......it is not fair that i hsve to play till lvl 42 with tiny ships.....i Really think about stop plsying at this time ...from 38 till 42 and a refine from 7 till 14 uncommon rss every 3 Boxes ...that is unseriƶs
@frozen lodge Midnight is a much better event end time than noon on a weekday. Few people are working at midnight, virtually everyone is at work at noon. You keep claiming this is designed to favor Americans but itās clearly not. Events starting and ending in the middle of a workday is terrible. Itās not designed that way for players, itās so the development team can solve issues during normal working hours.
9am resets for pst so right as the real work starts for me
12 events ened your Sunday my Monday,many multiday events,... if you can't see how that handicaps the darksiders & always has... you must work for $copely,or probably should...š¤·āāļø
3 arcs. No change to get 2 of 10 for free and Jaylah only for a few top alliance. I mean, she is preaty usles now, where nobody event thinks about doing swarm aramdas. But still...
2/10 seems to a pay only officer from the get go, donāt hold your breath on that
Historically pay only.ended up as f2p accessible, just the lag is the question
This game started with the idea of free2play having access to everything just taking much longer, then scopely changed direction of game towards pay2win. And now we are moving more and more away from pay2win, and towards pay2play. Stop this rot, or youāll lose more players. This is hardly a game at all any more and just an income generator. The fact you brought tng arcs into a game set in the Kirk era, when those characters arcs could have been Klingon or romulan based shows you really only care about the money. And as soon as enough whales turn the tap off, the game will get shut down
Looking forward to the super generous directives compensation pack for the cluster you inflicted on all servers scopely.
Lets see 2000 uncommon, rare and epic directives each about cut it!!
Spawn rate same as eclipse
You stuffed up show some integrity address such
Guess go usual path, and losses will double triple or quadruple!!
Carrot and stick approach you would made a tidy profit had actually adjusted spawn rates match the event.
Instead making it impossible you stuffed yourself.
Fantastic way to make money when its not even remotely possible.
you realize the carrot is the nice approach (feeding the horse) and the stick is the mean approach (whipping the horse), with what you're saying you believe it's a carrot on a stick approach
Supply and demand ....had there been enough armadas for everyone. The event been a success, as rare event was a disaster, putting on epic event with same problem like dumb.
Scopely has all the game parameters, so was deliberate.
Carrot and stick was in reference to enough armadas players might buy there galactic directives pack as they might been having fun
Think someone misunderstood the carrot on a stick reference. Think of a fisherman with bait on a hook.
Not spending a single cent as Scopely does not need my cash - if they did support would not be a complete joke.
Supremacy... The dreaded event...
Ya know, if there were enough 40s to supply the demand on my server, I would totally stomp thru this event. I have plenty of speedups and rss to cover the several repairs needed. But it is a huge time suck sitting around waiting for 40s. Can't even find a system that has low supply, w/o finding others there hunting, too. Yeah, I could blow my hull on hitting 38s w/o much reward, but that's bs. Plz up the supply.
This is comparative to the rare and epic armada events. Staring at the screEn and doing 3xs as much "spending" on UNCs or 38/39s is not conducive to me having fun. Doesn't even make me feel challenged. Makes me š .
I'm assuming you are on a different server than I, correct?
Also, this is Event Feedback, not #š-event-chat . :)
At level 38 you have access to deep space to hit 40s and that is where thr event is achievable. Also eclipse space has 40s
I'm not a L38.
I admittedly haven't tried eclipse space. However, if there is higher demand than supply in other systems/zones, doncha think it will be the same there. Oops, just checked, yup. Many there, too.
I'm here to give scopley feedback not collect experiences from players. :)
True.
I've decided it's based on how many factions you could be building a ship for your shipyard level. So even if I get the augur built, I'd get it next time for the enterprise.
And potentially the Klingons, the next round.
Tried it out and 40eclipse traders aren't an option for me, either.
where's the stick part of that reference?
it's not a carrot on a stick reference, carrot and stick is positive (carrot) vs negative (stick) reinforcement
I'd guess it's the power of your ships, research, and crew for your level and what the level based targets are... oh, too easy, $copely won't let you do it
please make military sup mobs more available, spending an hour in a system and having less than half a dozen 40's spawn is bs
Why were the other officers pulled from the event store before it was over? I know most of our server saved the Picard tokens waiting for the ability to cash them in for the other officers only for them to be useless.
I read it multiple times, I was able to build multiple faction ships but never got MS to then get bps.
CoW alliance MS event: Can we get the Stella/Discovery/Franklin-A added to the scoring chart?
Can I just say, having only the Cow event and dailies has been bliss. So much so I actually donāt want another arc to start and then get swamped.
Restore RL balance. Maybe 1 event at a time during the arc. Thereās so much to mine, defence of Tc dailies and events itās so overwhelming some just donāt bother
Iām guessing that now that the Picard part of arc is over, they might slow things down. Theyāve already driven away a bunch of customers anyway.
I hear you! Iām at the point Iām taking a one month ābreakā from the game.
- refine/turn in everything I can
- keep buildings and research going
- send ships once to TCs for alliance
- do the one battlepass event when the next arc shows
No dailies, no other events, etc. see how I feel August 1.
Itās getting like that mate. To much burn our. Especially with lockdown ending people wonāt have time
I disagree with the fewer events/no arc comment. My team hasn't felt the need to stake their claim in tc. That is the real time commitment issue for you, imo.
My team has been bored the past few days. Several of them knocked out their MS and were bored with just pve for cow. Even the daily events were not inspiring. Station and ships (no one has mats for).
Double refinery, today?? š
more likely Apex today
@here itās not loading, anyone know what weāre supposed to do to score points?
just reload... Botany Bay, Data, etc
re-loaded...didn't fix
Nevermind...re-loaded 2 or 3 times and worked
Day 1 is always data build/upgrade BB
Or recruit officers
One more TNG arc, I believe. I'm expecting worf and cardassians (hopefully a cardassian faction)
These arc events which reward new officer shards or ship/weapon skins are completely irrelevant to me now. In the top tier they only award the top 3 players which means the same 3-4 biggest spenders get them all. I am on one of the oldest servers and there are a lot of 46+ players now and it is impossible to get anything new without spending thousands and thousands of $$$. I am now F2P player at 47 and refuse to give Scopely any more money (except maybe for the $20 battle pass pack). Advise to all the players...do not level past 39.
@pale steeple I agree about acquiring new content but best officers are f2p anyway now.
If you just ignore the news shiny crap 40+ is viable.
Ive always been f2p reached 40 in 11 months 41 took me 13
Totally time played is 13 months š
I have been playing since just after beta....and I regret every minute of it haha
I know it was a totally diffrent game back then
But for new players there's alot of advantages being 40
I was referring to the events between arcs. Last time, we overlapping events (cow, apex , faction hunt). So far, no overlap this time.
Apex Events should have stealing like Latinum Events does.
I think lat has that because the road to f2p dvor is a lot longer than BB which is very easy to acquire.
Apex Outlaw is such a stupid event. Nice going Scopley, the events have got shittier over the last 2 months. You intention is clear, you want more COINERS !!! š© š© š©
That is the Scopely yacht !!!
Thanks to the way events have been in the last 2 month, myself at at least 3 other people from my alliance are all thinking of quitting this game. Way to go Scopely, your Ship is Sinking... Glub, Glub...š©
Good thin there are fan made updates to Star Trek Armada 1 and 2 out there. Cause this game is starting to stink...š© š© š© š© š© š© š©
The scarcity of prizes and the low amount of materials given in prizes in today's Domination Events mean that they are nort worth the effort of arrempting them since they are all ranking events. Why is there no ordinary Domination Event?
Bracket is at least between levels 22-29. I wonder who will dominate this āfairly balancedā bracket. š¤
You people really need to pull your heads outā¦
Why does the Plasma blast SLB not give rare shards for every rank?
Dont know maybe they think we have enough
These events really are getting repetitive. I just wish they would bring back some of the events to get ship blueprints so that us f2p people can get then too. Like the vi'dar, discovery and d'vor.
Yeah let's see how much you skimped on as well, or you Def aren't free to play if you get to 40 in a year while doing a good jobs with your ships, research and etc. Only way to do that was by doing alliance hoping and doing the minimum upgrades, 35 to 36 itself is a month, to do all the defense platforms takes another month.
For SLB's, can we start getting in the descriptions for events what ops levels are competing in that event? Would be great info to have before choosing to spend directives and mats and such.
Vidar could replace the Saladin until you were able to grind the bps for a saladin
Event ship, requires 2 arcs of event stores which would take 6 months @sterile bramble
The Vidar will be a massively useful ship that you will use til you quit the game.
I don't even use mine š¤£š just another boring grind and since I'm free to plays officers don't progress fast enough for me to worry about credits
Valid point, Iām F2P as well and Borg probes made triple locking easier, particularly getting from -2M to positive.
Vidar can be the key to speeding up your officer progression as a f2p
Vidar is not key, dude, reread what I said, officer xp is a bigger problem @sterile bramble
That being said this isn't the right place to talk about this talk it elsewhere
Just trying to help. Take my 2 cents, or don't, up to you.
<@&509690795536941056> @tropic ibex what's with the huge difference between both types of domination? Is the beam one a bigger bracket? As you can tell from my places I'm not focused on these events anyway as they are a money grab but knowing its a bigger bracket isn't going to make me chase them in future events
Nobody is paying $400 for an officer. How desperate are you? The worse you get the less people are going to pay. Profits will be going down down down the more bs like this you push
So, if someone defeats a lvl45 exchange armada, do they get points??? ššš
Plasma Blast leaderboard where I'm 'competing' with Ops 39 players when I'm at 31?
I'd rather just not have the event, thanks š
No points for the 45. Iām guessing there were probably issues in the past with people trying.
And another auction event. Are these the new cash grab norm? I refuse to pay anything for a chance to be in a leaderboard and get a partial something. Paying for an uncertain outcome is called gambling. I doubt scopely has done the proper filing with the SEC to be considered a gambling company.
So the discovery officers, regular players ever going to get a reasonable way to get them again?
Donāt have georgiou, and get about 1 shard out of all the chests, from that crappy Sunday event. Going to take about another 80 weeks just to unlock at this rate.
Bloody game is a pain in the ass
How the hell do you ruin the Faction hunt event?
Who made that?
Completely neutered faction hunt with neutered rewards. They have been doing this to us increasingly with every new iteration of an event that is highly requested due to its previous rewards.
Give us back the old faction hunt with all the rewards it had.
Lol, I think they are either trying to make all FTP players quit or they made a mistake by removing ultra reqruitment rewards from faction hunt. š
prob the first part of what u said
probs the first but it also means they cant pad their stats anymore and in the app stores itll show they only have a few hundred whales left over the millions they currently can say have the app downloaded, marketing team will be mad when they force out the majority of players due to price to play
Wanted to confirm that excluding the parts of Faction Hunt with the valuable rewards (ultra officer tokens, substantial faction credits, mats) aren't being run, while the ALB is being run is deliberate.
If the Pledge Your Independence event with the much smaller faction credit rewards is meant to be a substitute that can be completed in less time, that's a nice thought, not at all exclusive with having the regular faction hunt available. Faction Hunt as an ALB with no SMS events/rewards really doesn't compute.
This reads as stiffing players, not as creative event design.
It is Faction Hunt, without the hunting factions part!!
They put the 2 days events after 4th cause people wold be drunk to do faction hunt.
Why would people be to drunk to do faction hunt? Nothing special about 4th of July for all but 1 country on the world.
Wow!!! A faction hunt without a faction hunt. This is a new low. Evidently you start digging
Just a suggestion, but if you establish a pattern then break that pattern without any warning it really annoys people.
This is a game of planning and strategy, people can't do that when you mess them around at a moment's notice.
Maybe a news item a day or two before and you'd have half the complaints.
BRING BACK OUR FACTION HUNT
Why would you take this event away without even a warning and leave the stupid alb? Like come on, if the independence event eas supposed to cover it, it doesn't. BOOOOO SCOPLEY, BOOOOOOOO ON YOU PEOPLE
I'm offended that a pack for the US holiday was put out but nothing for Canadians. Way to go $copely
I dont have any 4th kf july packs in my store
Faction hunt is my main source of officer xp, BRING IT BACK
this is everyones main source, just scopely want u to buy officer packs instead
Im so sick of these guys i buy packs but i cant buy ALL the packs. They need to be cool man and give us back faction hunt
DISGUSTED with the Independence Day version of Faction Hunt. It's bad enough that you've cut the event to 2 days in recent months, but as players we look forward to the massive amount of recruit tokens that Faction Hunt gives us. To take that away with ZERO notice was WRONG and I'm a US player. Admit your mistake, give us compensation for today and let us have a REAL Faction Hunt tomorrow.
Events are how we grow and they dropped it why? Cause one country is having a holiday? So what? Some people are do busy to do event, so they wont, the rest of us could have
I say we strike
ATTICA ATTICA ATTICA
While I will miss the rewards. I had a sigh of relief when I realized there wasnāt a sms today. Maybe a good balance would be a special reduction in the requirements. Or a double payout tomorrow. Good luck figuring out what people wonāt get used to too quickly or complain about. Happy Fourth and Iāll be enjoying the day. Causally in and out of the game.
I seem to be missing all the faction hunts.
you know, the ones with the officer xp and whatnot?
Things I will not be doing include purchasing officer xp and whatnot with money.
I was looking forward to faction hunt to get this watered down crap event. Nice scopley
<@&509691205798592532> can u pass to scopely that this independent event is nice to have and should come more often.
For those griping, the event is only 24 hours and u will get faction hunt tomorrow. Also, the 39+ hate faction hunt because of the amount of grinding required because the scoring makes no sense for 39+
tell me more about what the 39+ crowd wants, daddy
What is this crap today? Why is scopely cancelling the faction hunt event? All the players are looking forward to it and scopely disappoints again. Have you made it your goal to disappoint the players over and over again with crap like this, knowing full well that everyone likes it because it's lucrative? Shame on you
Actually faction hunt after level 39 is easier then pre 39.
Faction Hunt is one of the best events.. so what they eliminated it?
Todayās event is total š© shame on $copely
Apparently, scopely spends more time making us new stupid offers every day instead of bringing us the events we all want. Because every day there is some new stupid package to buy.
I call them $¢øā±ā¬ā¤Ā„
Too hard to type all that šš
It's 500 indy creds for doing dailies...what is wrong with u ppl
Those of us that aren't whales need the rewards to keep us going...
If they ran indy event + faction hunt no one should complain
Scopely you forgot the meat of faction hunt. You owe me ~2million officer exp, 2400 epic shards for office pulls, the same for premium and 30 each ore, gas and crystal
300+ reds grinding...how is that easier???
Not a whaleš. Indy creds are hard as he'll to get and they made it easier
If you don't have the ships to spawn point camp after level 39 slow down with your level progression and even out.
I'm triple locked, so I have to use 3 ships for at least 3 hours to get my faction hunt done. And btw armadas count as 1 hostile
Finishing all three factions for me takes less then an hour and that's counting travel time for 4 ships.
Don't aim for the highest level hostile you can hit and don't aim so low the pts barely stake.
Hunt the factions was wayyyy better because it took less time and effort
I should be able to hunt 43s and 44s and finish relatively quickly...instead the points don't matter after 42
Just cause you can hit high doesn't mean you should. I can spawn camp 38s and knock out over 300 in less then 15mins.
Why you'd do FH in DS I'm not sure. That definitely sounds like it'll take longer based on spawn times.
I think this is right on the nose. The game has a lot of patterns, players learn the patterns, get used to them, then when there's change without notice, it causes a lot of agitation, particularly if previous benefits are diluted or disappear. This is essential to the marginal quality of life story in this game: people have real lives, having some aspects of the game be predictable, having play that is more consistently time-bounded, avoiding making things that improve on that based on paying through the nose, this is what makes quality of life meaningful for the vast majority of players, whales included.
There's enough of a pattern of designing in a way that undermines this that, despite substantial progress, players tend to expect Scopely to do things that screw them and then not to acknowledge doing so, even when this isn't the intent. What matters to getting past this is consistency in improving the quality of life story for the game and not making that available largely by auction, and that consistency hasn't been established for the vast majority of the player community.
Counterpoint: Today's nonsense was waaaayyyyy worse, seeing as the event rewards didn't include (1)Officer Xp (2)Ultra Recruit Tokens and (3) Uncommon mats.
Your opinion is bad and you should stop trying to convince us otherwise.
as for 500 independent credits, that's 2.5 days in the borg refinery with a max vidar. contrast that with the time and effort to grind out 2M officer xp. ĀÆ_(ć)_/ĀÆ but keep posting through it, I guess
@gusty hornet @north bobcat
I mean, put a bit differently: Faction Hunt and CoW are pretty expensive events to compete in as ALB as alliances gets more and more of their rosters above 40. CoW's rewards are completely out of keeping with these costs, you are rewarded with far less trit than you'd spend on rewards if you have a faction g4 that's required to get substantial scoring opportunities. The parsteel awards for the SMS component are similarly broken for benefit for 40+.
Faction Hunt when you gut the rewards, what's the point? Why bother? And now you're taking away a reliable solution to resource problems. This is not a substitution in goods, it's not even a dilution.
This has been a pattern with events for about half the arcs so far this year: value of rewards vs cost to play in game resources are out of alignment. These events are extremely expensive to play, and the rewards are more bragging rights than real game benefits.
AND what's nice about today's event is that I did I with my daily hunts so no extra grinding.
I was going to do the hunt anyway for my 25 reds for faction daily so I didn't have to spend extra trit
<@&509691205798592532> please read linked comment about cow and faction hunt and send it to scopley to revamp as they revamped swarm
What I'd say is what @gusty hornet said: I'd happily spend the trit to get the officer XP and tokens, mats, and faction credits, as there aren't comparable alternative sources, particularly in terms of game time required. Take that away, I've got a shortfall, and the reality is that every time Scopely creates shortfalls at this point, players think they are being stiffed something that was previously reliable to get them to buy that good outright. That seems like a form of rent-seeking from players that makes any progress in quality of life one step forward, two steps back.
my man, no matter how many times you keep posting this nonsense, the problem is that THE REWARDS FOR FACTION HUNT WERE GUTTED. NO OFFICER XP, NO RECRUIT TOKENS, NO UNCOMMON MATS.
It's the exact point the post you're replying to is making, but you didn't really read it.
Just stop posting. you're point is that it took you less time and everybody else's point is that the rewards aren't good.
they'll only say they gave us extra with the "free independence chest" LOL
How is grinding for hours a good quality of life???? Less time means less effort. Faction hunt needs to be revamped....its a garbage event as a whole
I mean, if the full faction hunts were there on a holiday weekend alongside an event that gave the faction credits for far less time, that would be great, players get a choice depending on how much time they have on a holiday. I'm glad there isn't a bottomless SLB today, as there was on Father's Day.
But if they were really improving quality of life, equivalent benefits would be available while reducing time, such as giving players tokens to pick two factions to play and getting the benefits of all three factions. Giving with one hand but taking away more with the other, that's not a quality of life improvement, that's telling players getting quality of life means needing to spend more.
Faction Hunt was the best event
not even a close race.
Let's talk quality of life now. I could spend a couple hours a day for 2-3days, once a month and get Millions in officer xp, 2400 ultra recruit tokens and close to a hundred uc gas, ore and crystal by doing the faction hunt event.
that ensures I can reliably complete all the battlepass domination events, that I can accelerate my ship upgrades, and that I can get rewards for officer recruit events.
right now, the monetary price tag for that is $100. that's 5 trips to the movies, that's almost 1 year of a streaming service, that's a nice date with my girl, that's 2.5 tanks of gas, that's SUBSTANTIAL compared to a couple of hours on a weekend. that shot is quality of life, not "I SpEnT hAlf a SuNdAy AfTeRnOoN kIlLiNg ReDs, OmG"
I've already made friends playing this game and I'll have our discord server to keep shooting the breeze even if I quit playing.
Sorry Scopely, but you could have thought this out. It would have been easy to arrange this month's between Arc break as CoW, Faction Hunt and Apex Outlaw. Today would have been the 2nd day and primarily hunting Eclipse or Bounty Hunters (which doesn't take long). The Independence Day event is doable just off of Faction Dailies so there's no real issue of "too many events". We would have gotten a full Faction Hunt and everything would have been fine.
that would involve them using "common sense" though LOL
Saw the faction hunt tab, opened it and saw no milestones. This is wrong on so many levels that i do know where to start explaining. Not to mention this constant pushing for LB events and reducing SMS events in general which i already negatively commented.
This wasn't "Faction Hunt" even if it was fancied up with a whole sub menu. It's kinda disappointing - arc had a lot of officer events that totally depleted my recruit tokens and I was actually looking forward to getting some XP to level up a few of those officers. Maybe it's a creepy sales tactic?
they want us to think think it's independemce day reewards
where the heck is the extra?
hell....did st paddy's give any more?
yes less time playng.............. for those who wanted
[ good job scopely dont follow ramadan]
Is it just me or did they reduce the amount of rogue event trophies. I remember getting 6 uncomm pulls and the last 2 runs of apex outlaw I only got enough for 5 pulls.
@vagrant topaz what's raman day? Is that like a Japanese noodle event?
Now I want udong noodles
Well I finished faction hunt with a third hull left, less than an hour, missing all our regular rewards will stymie progress ,fanx for that $copely... and my guess is well have even more leaderboards/SPENDEVENTS that reset at 2am... fanx again these 2am resets are killing me, I spend everything in inventory just to see the snipers use it as a benchmark to surpass,placing me outa ranking,time after time... leaves me no5hing for next SPENDEVENTS...feeling like a 6fingered red headed stepchild here on the darkside... work my arse off to unlock nothing so far... way to engage players,not...ššš
If you spend everything in inventory and are still outspend, wouldnāt you have lost anyway š ?
How about they flip the clock so you can find out for yourself,tommy... if it makes no difference?
I rarely ever participate in auctions. Not planning to sink money in it so no point really at my lvl.
Meanwhile, with an event reset during work hours:
We're a fine pair, I can't place in leaderboards & can barely find my battlepass coins, you won't spend on leaderboards... same result... I respect your stance on not spending but believe we'll both be beggars for anything tng because of these leaderboards & spendevents... sigh
Scopely: The Enterprise D is fixed...
Me: Ohhhhhhhhh
Scopely: So here's a mining ship
Me: great ...
New ship! New skins! None of it the Ent D!
Riker's beard is drawn wrong! His beard is higher on his cheek bones. His beard was a popular style from the 80s and 90s, not a lower on the cheeks style that is popular today. Messing up Riker's beard lines is insulting to bearded men everywhere.
Really, really, really don't like the fact that (according to the content creators) unless you buy a Meridian, or buy a load of BP points to unlock it early, you won't be able participate in some events during this arc. Poor stuff.
Yeah this is not a 30 min extension. Maintenance was supposed to have been done almost an hr ago. Still not able to get in.
most EU servers are open as far as i know
This feels the same as to why I have 2 Discoveryās. Only thing with having 2 meridianās is that having multiple may be useful.
I get that they're a business and they've got to make money etc etc and if there were only events for building / tiering up the ship (while other events were running) then.. fair enough. But if this is going to be a mining based arc and there's going to be a load of events specifically around Isogen mining (and nothing else running at the same time) then, well, either you buy the ship early or even if you spend 24/7 mining Iso you're not even going to come close to the top prizes. I guess we'll see.
events dropping late I guess
Just finding this out now. Cant participate in the events. By the time I do get the ship events will be long gone.
Typo?
@hearty vector , at least you have events. There are none on Server 31.
Maybe you'll get them without typos then
Server 30 is missing events also
If they are expecting me to buy more stuff just to participate in events during this arc.. Iām out.
āMore currencies, and more active mining⦠thatās what we need!ā, said no STFC player, ever!!
Thats the way I understand it works so far.
Would be nice if someone would start the arc
but but you need all them miners. So many miners to be had
Scopely, It's been over 2.5 years. How are there still issues with launching events?
Because ppl still spend massive amounts of šµ, if it still brings in the cash why fix it.
I have finished the Pike questions challenge and the Adventures of Will Riker - AMS is not full and expire same as all questions 10? error on this part??
But SMS have completed so that bit strange event.
Snap!
I mean, there are basically three events running at the minute which, unless you buy the Meridian, you can't really compete in / complete. A leaderboard event where I'd have to outmine Meridian owners for Isogen? And they get a head start of a few million for buying it and tiering it up? A 3 day event to complete 25/40 researches? š„“
Boooooooring
Wow....pay to participate events.... Thats an absolute new "low". Thats just crazy... @hallow sky : could you please explain, why scopely is starting such š© events?
āHow is this new?? Its like this at least every Arc Series if not every Arc.
New or not... It's Just BS and absolutely anoying... Anyone hates it, except some Whales
Q7 is broken here
You should label the research events as pay to win. You can't effectively do them without buying the Meridian, since you need iso-resin for the new research. Yes you can do 25 or 40 regular researches, but this is a 3 day event. Most people can't do 40 researches in 3 days
And why am I (Ops 33) in the same bracket as Ops 35 for the iso mining meridian event? If I were to buy the meridian I couldn't take it past T3 or whatever at my Ops level, and yet Ops34/35 could take it to something like T6?
Why aren't these basic things considered...
With regard to the new research being dependent on the new shipā¦. My only response would result in my being banned and possibly investigated by law enforcement. Let me summarize by saying I am not impressed or happy with the money grab.
My congratulations to the person you assigned the difficult job of screwing up faction hunt. Outstanding Job!
OMG that iso away mission takes 10 days of max isogen refines to kick off
Also it is broken as it is green but says rare
Is the skins effects for the g4 ships not matching what the ships start mining deliberately done or is it a mistake?
I.e. the Vorta Vor mines Ore but the skin give crystal bonus
Itās deliberate
This mission doesnāt appear for me.
Remember, each faction essentially has a primary and a secondary mat that's the same as what's required for the faction's epic class. Thus Roms have ore as their primary mat, crystal as their secondary. Both materials appear for purchase in the faction store. There's a logic to this.
Where our faction hunt rewards? You owe us two more days, we need those rewards š wheres our comp chest for you stealing from the poorest š thieving lying bastards
Getting a few hundred ISO emulsion when you need 10,000+ to do a single away mission is pretty lame... need to start getting more iso-emulsion in the Battle Pass.
Hate thisš stop stealing from the poorest šfaction hunt is a 3 day event with 3 days of rewards you stealing our rewards, rewards WE NEED... You chopping it up &/or hiding it behind ticketed events you want us to pay for...YOU STEALING FROM THE POOREST PLAYERS stop squeezing THE POOREST PLAYERS...
Dear scopely. š
For the love of god put the Riker missions into 1 tab.
This is what the event tab looks like atm
How are we supposed to refine the ISO-emulsion into ISO-Resin? I have tons of ISO-emulsion in my items tab, yet no way to refine it lol. Are y'all not yet finished with in-putting the tab to do so in the Territory refinery or what? lol jeez
build the ship to unlock Resin
Ah ok thx.
And, you know call me crazy, but maybe implement a year one Comp Sci sort algorithm so they don't show up in random orders.
No, you get a token from the event store that unlocks an away mission that gives resin.
Eventually yes the new ship will be how, but everyone can participate right now.
@Nighthawk#2949
Yes building the ship is what unlocks refining Resin in the TC refinery which is what was asked.
Oh yeah fair. Saw a ton of people asking about getting it for the event in other places.
Well dont happen often but new research and ability get particles well done scopely
New miner cash grab another plus
If makes backwards player retention stop hope so
Introducing 1* into territory of alliances have territory that dont have 1 * a maybe possible
Please start considering long term instead short term scr.ew. short term scr.ew yourself
Would've been nice not to have to restart the game after every question to get the next one to pop up š¤
Oh well, LCARs is officially gone. Will scoply be creating a new repository of data to support the game? I would think that there is potential for people to quit as without a database to use for reference, the game is seriously lacking information to support players (both old & new)ā¦
NEW LCARS STYLE OF DATABASE FOR PLAYERS!!!
Still have no Solo Milestone event for the missions (clearly posted as level 10+), and in game support are doing absolutely nothing and have no idea what they're talking about. Getting frustrated as I have the mission keys from milestone 4 of the Battle Pass and I can't do a anything because I can't use them or start any missions.
Territory Refinery refresh rate needs to be increased to match Resource Refinery. With the launch of Territory Away Mission, new Territory Research, new Territory Refinery, Meridian Ship which all require ISO elements. The current refinery refresh is way too slow and rewards too low.
Also the protected cargo size for the Meridian is far to low at 5k for tier 3 and 11k with officers. Meridians protected cargo should be at min. 30% of cargo size
Stop peddling this server⦠currently it looks just to be a selection of data pulled from LCARs. I wish you all the best in getting a resource up & running for the community, however until you have indexed your data & engineered a bot into Js, python and/or web-hooks then please stop spamming this currently inoperative & incomplete discord server.
Sorry, but FORCING Territory combat on the player base is WRONG. Yes, there should be a perk for Territories, which is the SERVICES they offer. Basic access to 2and 3 Isogen (and the associated research shouldn't be gated behind a wall that many players will NEVER breach. This game has multiple clusters of systems requiring relatively high Warp (but not Dark Space) to access. Why can't some of those out of the way systems have 2* and 3* Isogen nodes. Most of these cluster are systems with Parsteel, Titanium and Dilithium which is a relatively little use from a mining standpoint by higher level players. They're NOT in Faction Space so they have limited benefit for events/Dailies.
@hallow sky many in my alliance are not happy with the payout in the events in this arc so far.
Anyone else not able to access event store for the missions? Works for some ppl on my server but not for others.
Same here, Event Store is well and truly closed for me and support are ignoring it
Delightful.
They told me I had to be level 32 and up to access level 10+ missions....I'm assuming they're unpaid volunteers? clearly have no idea what the game is
Whut. I could always at least unlock the missions for higher levels. How will we access the missions now? Will we get them after reaching level 32 or do we just get pointless rewards in the battlepass?
I just think he was completely wrong as the patch info clearly states level 10+. Seemed he just wanted a way to dismiss the issue
Seriously? Why is I the people running this game feel everyone below level 35 can F-off ?
Here have an event that Noone can complete....but hey they don't care because they get people's money.
True. But it does only seem to affect players under level 32, so...he at least got that part right. š
Some of the patch information still had Part 2 in it where they had just copied and pasted the last stuff and forgot to change the 2s to 3s...these are not dedicated, interested individuals lol
berating them here isn't going to help š
Berating who? People who clearly don't care about any suggestions?
Nothing is going to help, in-game support have done nothing in 24 hours except make invalid excuses and close tickets
did you get back in touch with them like suggested yesterday evening?
And again today at lunch
Survey after survey, comments after comments and nothing chages....
Multiple screenshots. I've literally given them a colouring book to explain it
then unfortunately its just a case of being patient. they can take up to 5 working days to respond.
They don't honestly care kezz
But they respond, they just don't understand, or help, then they close it off so I have to open another...what good is that?
IF they're backlogged with multiple issues...jesus, it's a MASSIVE game, yet apparently they don't Beta test anything to any worthwhile extent
A quick piece of feedback: what this game needs is LESS MINING! This is getting ridiculous and now becoming FarmVille in space.. not to mention that everything is now moving more and more towards ptp, and itās more and more obvious that unless a feature has some way of gouging the already half tapped out players, it doesnāt get added.
@hallow sky please sort out these pvp events remove the pve option to them. My score is just from pvp second place is pve only. Its a joke pve shouldn't compare to pvp in these events
Now that ISO is back in the forefront again, the lack of nodes has reared it's ugly head. Aside from the eclipse space with a handful of nodes, there are only 3 systems that you can mine in as a non-territory owner. Compare this to the number of data nodes, lat nodes, or even mycelium nodes, and it is drastically undersized for a larger server population. More nodes are needed if it's going to be a a resource needed to advance.
Sorry to the pve lovers but maybe separate them or just do pvp events. If people don't want to do pvp fine but don't ruin the game for those who do
they merged the pvp & pve events to give the pvp'ers targets š¤
But if they do no work how can it be considered a working day? š
Huh? I was making a joke about support sometimes taking 5 working days to respond. Nothing about PvP or PvE.
whoops... sorry - tired eyes
All good, I was just very confused⦠not that it takes much lately.
Need 1 system then not 3
Have some fun, shoot players off nodes
1 put of the top 6 is pvp rest are pve in the 3 other areas.
How is the reward for top 25 1 single uncommon crystal? š
You look at the rewards? I just see something different to hunting reds all the time
Reward vs time spent grinding is what I look at . But I definitely donāt have as much game time as others so I have to use my time wisely š
Now thatās just pouring salt on the wounds.. gouging players, essentially forcing them to purchase a new ship to mine in events that they can only do if they have the ship, then making most events ladders, and what do they give you as a reward? A nice kick in the nuts. Way to go scopely.. er.. jokely
The cost needs to be rebalanced here. These are intended to supplement people that don't have the meridian yet during the BP?
At 9k iso cost I would have to save for a month to even do this once and still wouldn't get a single research from that. Ops 29
The bp event to day is a cheat no chance for lower levels to compete
I know Worf will be in an upcoming arc but donāt forget to give a rare/blue Troi. And personally I am hoping for Guinan
Give us Q!!!
Pve vs pvp. Please stop giving multiple pve systems and only 1 pvp. These events should be pvp in all of them
@river merlin are you implying I'm a baby because I want more pvp in pvp events or the players hiding in pve zones?
no you could just go do the pve too like those other people.
you thought people enjoy a p2w pvp game
š¤£
Screenshot 2021-07-08 16.34.31.png There is nothing in my refinery about refining iso-emulsion into iso-resin, only refining isogen and progenitor alloys. So how are we expected to finish the Complete New Research Event? The scraps of iso-resin from the Away Team Missions are not enough to do it.
Using speed-ups on the Away Team Missions is no good because I have no reset tokens.
Please fix the Refinery before you start such an "event"... this is just ridiculous anymore
People keep cheating the rescue the crew leaderboard. Stop running it
An event that only tracks building/tiering g3/g4 miners seems overly specific. No mining component option at all?
Ikr, you either spend 100+ cash or you donāt get goodies
Iso resin refinery open when you build the ship
IF you had released this ship at the beginning of an Arc block, then added the reading bonuses in the 2nd month, it would have been better received. Unfortunately as an effectively FtP player (all I buy typically is the Elite Battlepass), I can't take advantage of what this ship offers and so fall further behind the curve.
Remember, they are not catering to you or me, they are only aiming for those that give them cash.
Dusty, at least you are in a realistic event bracket, I'm lv36 up against level 41
That will be next month maybe for me mate. Looking forward to some action for a change. Rest are all farmville
Pve counting in pvp events is lame. I can't no life it like these pvers I don't understand how scopely can make 20 pve kills = 1 pvp kill in a pvp event
In other words No points ZERO points for pve in pvp events
Sure, when the brackets and systems are fixed correctly. As a new 32 I am in the same PvP zones as people with epic ships multiple levels above me. If it were level playing field PvP, then I could buy that, but until then thanks I'll just go do the PVE that I can finish the solo task in one run.
Hey Guys! What do you think about that the "Rescue the crew SLB" and generally all hulldmg type pvp events are being exploited/"win-traded" on my server with Leslie's cpt ability (for more hull dmg). For exemple 2x t4 enty vs enty with Leslie is like 100M points per fight. I know that Leslie is part of the game but still makes this event unfair.
Mining is shown in star trek what 3 maybe 4 times. Now you've made a month long arc about it? Really why make the game more boring then it all ready is? No1 likes mining no1 wants to mine more. MINING SUCKS. Stop making us mine
Op lvl 32 competing against Op lvl 35 in leaderboard events is hopeless. Why such wide brackets in the leaderboard event?
Because then you are being incentivized to spend money to level quickly to catch up. It's not right, but it's the reason.
@hallow sky @tropic ibex to add to this feedback. Why not make it ship limited for this bracket? Make it 28s and 32 ships only score. Make it fairer for all in the bracket. More might do it of they don't have to face an epic ship. Also remove the pve side of the event so pvp will be more active. Or have pvp score in all systems but more in the open system, also pvp to score 10x that of doing pve
<@&509690795536941056> <@&509691205798592532> no free tickets for this event? Given the screw up with the 4th of July event no1 cared about would think would be able to do all 3 during the arc.
There was one yesterday in the battle pass but differently colored...
pay walling faction hunt again................... maybe time to quit
just getting greedier and greedier
Thats for the other event
Which one?@opal geyser
@hallow sky is online as well properly won't comment though
2 ticketed events in 1 night n no tickets well done or is it just more money grabbing??
Thought it was for this one but nope not even for this event. So got some tokens cant do any events. š <@&509690795536941056> <@&509691205798592532> @tropic ibex care to give us some insight why we can't do any events today?
This is very misleading makes you think you can spend tickets earned from battle pass but the events just use regular uc tickets
Maybe works as designed š¤£
Have to buy the elite pass to do them so a big F.U. won't be buying to for a stupid mining arc scopley can do one. I'm not someone to be pushed into another bucket as they call it. I'm more likely to push back and go agaisnt what you want
so not only is faction hunt ticketed it's competing with other ticketed events
@opal geyser if youāve been doing the battle pass you got 10 free event tickets yesterday-
Not sure what event they go to yet but they match the golden tickets pictured on the outside of the ticketed events box
Even though everything in that box uses the regular tickets
Yesterdays ticket were incompatible with anything offered so far. But gift section gave now 10 tickets to try either one of the new more grindy faction hunts or one of the other ticketed events. The whole thing seems annoying. During first borg arcs we got a few faction hunts each week. Now we get them barely once a month and the new ticketed version is a more grindy version. š
Or I suppose it isnāt all that grindy with using Riker as captain.. but using a sub-par quality crew feels stupid. Iād really love to hear how Scopely game designer thinks using it is more fun. š
Can we get an answer from the DEV team.
Elite pass has 20 event tickets n they literally just gave us 10 think they only did that to shut us up. I was going to buy elite pass today. But do u know what scopely u can shove it where the sun don't shine.
2 groups of ticketed events should = 20 free tickets, according to the previously established pattern. So today we get...10 tickets. Awesome.
Giving out apex trophies but no apex event store on so you canāt exchange them. š
š
Different event. They are for an event in the future not this one
I said when I saw it was a boring mining arc I wont buy the battle pass this arc. Dont buy any other packs already so not a problem to ignore the store
They changed the awards- total bait and switch! If I had know it would only be for research medals I wouldnāt have bothered with them!
āTicketed eventsā has no option for Crystal. Two events give ore. Is this a mistake?
there are a lot of mistakes.. no Q&A being the #1 by far
<@&509690795536941056> Scopely's paywall is getting ridiculous. Requiring tickets for faction hunt, an old event that is tedious to complete, is really a new low. I guess this is Scopely's idea helping us with more balance. Instead if making them easier and take less time to complete, they charge for them so now we don't want to do them at all. Another easy day of virtually no events to complete. Thank you for making it easier and easier to quit playing this game.
Really wish they would learn to consistently group events so we can stop having our events tab over ran by 9000 Qx events... they did it for previous trivia events... but not Riker š¤¦āāļø
What are the Apex Medals?
Used for apex research
I'm lvl 19 do I need them?
Not right now, but you can use them in the future. They are used in the Outlaw and Station research trees.
Thanks
Re Peak Performance-a 110 epic shards or 11 promotions, etc. felt like too high a bar for the reward. That is a lot of pulls especially on a cycle with no 6/12hr recruit event for some synergy.
The Ticketed Events are still not right. There are 2 Parsteel/Ore rewards, 1 Dilithium/Gas and No Tritainium/Crystal. Usually there is 1 of each type.
We need a way to earn/purchase skin/projectile shards. Like for the Jelly, V'idar, Stella and so on. It also would be nice to have a Resource Converter (ex: 100 3* common = 1 3" Uncommon, 200 3* Uncommon = 1 3* Rare, 100 3* Rare = 1 3* Epic & the same for 4* & 2* resources. We need to increase the Territory Refinery refresh rate by double or triple. With the new changes lots more items require high amounts of refined ISO or Resin. After an ARC and new officers are released they should be added to the recruitment section for the opportunity to grow those officers.
Please please please update the description on this event to define what type of speedup is required.
It's very ambiguous.
This is one of your new fun and friendly events. The lack of explanation has lead to an increasing amount of unhappy players.
I hope you can help.
(PS thanks for the bonus refinery šš)
TIA
K'vort and Antares BP for sale. Why no Valkis????
All 3 are in my store. What's your rep with roms?
The argument against that is they called them exactly what they are called, speedups, as compared to repair speedups or Away Team speedups, look in your inventory
So what else are you gonna call them
Yea could say building speedups, but still.
I believe the first time they did this some peopleās events said ābuilding speedupsā or āspeedups for buildingsā, any why not be more specific? God forbid they be a little nice to their players with clear communication.
Ticket events arenāt offering 1 that has a decent amount of tritanium. That sucks donkey pebbles.
Why did it change ?
Iso rush not registering points fir mined raw Iso. Mined over 10k, reset zero node, zero points awarded.
materials not registering on will riker event.
It is on a rotation, each set of ticket events will have double events for Steel, double for trit, and double for Dil, and their respective material.
Yesterday we had double steel, today we have double dilithium, the next one will have double trit
Iād rather have double Trit everyday. Always have enough of the others š¤£
Points target for the Armada event is too high! Weāve called and killed 3x35UC, and been in 2x35R and a 30E, all wins, and have 30% of the points required! Iām Ops 35⦠Target is 5M pointsā¦
This event runs three times this arc!
The milestones are way to high for the armada event, event if itās 2 days long and alliance wide
How about a crystal ticket event? šµāš«
Passing on the ticketed events today and saving for faction hunt
We finished it already š
It is on a rotation, each set of ticket events will have double events for Steel, double for trit, and double for Dil, and their respective material.
Yesterday we had double steel, today we have double dilithium, the next one will have double trit
Um we are at 3 million points already
How many in your alliance
The vast majority of my alliance is under 32. Thatās probably a contributing factor
Yea itās a milestone and we are only 2.5 hours in to a 48hr ms, just pump up those uncommon and Rares, š but hey any milestones you get are better then none.
Yup. Not like the directives are being flushed down the toilet
Bs
Scopley is really trying very hard to upset players. I have to say they get an A for crappy decisions which create unhappiness. I wonāt even try. I havenāt been first in anything since moving into this current bracket
Thanks scopely, the new armadas timers helped alot. Now I'd like to spend some $$ for more directives if you could put out the galactic armada pack.
I think we can have an notification for an event before it starts and the battle pass for this month is good actually š good work in it scopley........and please bring new events for the lower operation players also š
Thatās the avatar event that has just 1 reward. Our server is the same. The shards event has many spots.
I know but one spot on anything is bs. Itās usually 5 spots for Avs
I agree having the sms alongside the leaderboards is actually a good idea
Yo, whatās with the lack of crystal for these ticketed events???
Question was already answered a few above you, scroll back
could be just a bit more and less cheap.
Could say the same about the packs and the battlepass and event rewards as a whole
worthless crap on bp today
The recruiting riker event is SEVERLY missleading! When you can only score by spending the mats on ships, you need to make it clear in the win conditions for the event!
"Spend mats" is not enough
Oh wow
Really? Thatās pretty bad. Lucky I stopped competing in it after a couple milestones
Really?
I just spent a small amount on research (99 rare) and got the points for the SLB?
Are you sure you didn't just miss the banner / the banner was lying?
You get points for research, buildings, ship upgrades
Should make it available to buy the picard shards with picard tokens for us who had IRL tings going on so we missed out on deadline.. š
Next gen ryker on augur isn't generating 300pts per hostile... Only 100
Can you add refractive beam shards to the Riker store please? I only need 1 ... š
<@&509690795536941056> @tropic ibex Level 37+ swarm clusters don't count toward the Threat Reduction - BP Event??
<@&509691205798592532> Why is Scopely fvcking their customer over again???? We were told Meridian warp coils will be available to people who bought multiple Meridians, so that they are able to upgrade all of them.
.... AND THEN YOU TIED THE STORE OPTION TO OPS LEVEL!!!!
I have bought excess Meridians, but I am not ops34 yet.
How is this going to be handled?
Is this just another one of your middle fingers to your paying customers???
Yea we should be able to get both parts no matter our ops level as we already paid for it
Can we get a promise, this warp coil is going to be available in every event store from now on?
No reason it shouldn't be in current one for everyone, if they make it a mission that stack with the other.
that way we buy the mission now, but can't compleate till we reach the appropriate level
It can be just an item that sits in our inventory until we reach the required ops.
Or maybe not actually, haha, yea only mission would solve the problem
Having the upgrade part available in every event store is the most viable of options, but I am not expecting reasonable solutions from Scopely anymore š
i'm sure he'll make an exemplary first " OFFICE, even under hostile conditions" lol š¤¦
can we have rare tng officers in event store too? š
Still no Beverly shards in an Event Store? Very disappointing Scopely, very disappointing. Sheās not even an Epic. Bad enough that you gave every player, that was below Ops40, the shaft by not giving them the mission to get the 8 shards at the beginning of the TNG Arcs
anyone remember Jaylah wasn't in any event store also? š
and everyone below lvl 35 had no chance to unlock her coz last shards comes from swarm armadas
Yeah I just hit lvl 28... up until this point limited daily events were competitions with people within 1-2 lvls of one another. On my ship event there was a lvl 47 that had spent 9 million in ship xp. I struggle to get 100-200k š
They want you to spend $100 to get Beverly for some reason
Don't forget: that $100 also gets you Wesley!
Jaylah is only useful for Franklin A so no point in unlocking her before then
She boosts both Franklins.
But can only be unlocked in swarm armadas so useless on little version
True enough there. Another Scopely special.
Using Next Gen Riker as captain on Bortas is scoring 100 points instead of 300. Can this be fixed, please?
To be honest, these both should have been in the pack already.
Happening on our European server too
Stop monetizing all the events! Greedy jerks
I raised that as a ticket before during the Wesley event. Apparently hunters don't count for bonus points for a captain. You have to attack not let them attack you.
Aaah, makes sense. Thanks! šš»
Bortas bug working fine now although also reduced score using epic riker from 750 to 700 bonus points.
They fixed meridian injector cores fast but not compensated or refunded those bought it while bugged.
Is it true only mats spent on ships counted for recruit riker?
I think that having an event store only open to a certain ops or higher is stupid. Having additional battle pass events just means those players are going to have additional days to complete the battlepass where points will mean jack.
Of course itās stupid. Itās aimed at higher levels because higher levels pay more. Scopley only cares about $$. They couldnāt care less about people who donāt spend or who are upset by their tactics
Outside of greed did scopely say why faction hunt is now ticketed instead of free? seems rude to add a price of entry to an event that was free
A Matter of Honor: with Rom ship | ok I know the Vi'dar is a 'specialty' ship but the description clearly labels it as a Romulan ship and for some players it will be a primary ship so just count it as Rom.
Hi. Does anyone know if there will be klingon credits in the event store?
It was highly asked for so Scopley figured they could make money on it. Save your breath on feedback. Feedback was brackets too wide rewards too few. So what did they do? Expand brackets and give rewards to even fewer. They care about anything but money
It you say what you like theyāll use it against you and make you pay money for it, if you say what you donāt like they may tweak it. Or they may make it worse
In either case just save your breath
These new mini-event stores being run in the last two or so arcs, are complete crap.
We need the full ones much more regularly. Every battle pass would be great, but I know that wonāt happen. Every second or third should be the minimum.
People need a some way to catch up on ships and officers, when they canāt play everyday and end up a handful of shards short
Great now weāll have even less event stores and more officer and ship offers in the pay store.
Anyone know if more rewards will be added to the event store? like last month with the Picard store?
(Yeah the red signal is a feature ā¦.)
ā¦. The latinum Rush brackets are mean ⦠me working my ass off almost 24h against ā1min after reset scoresā from the w160+ guys š©
next month should be full event store for last arc part )
Dr. Beverly Crusher - put there in the riker event store. Thank you
5 month ark I read somewhere. Would be the longest ark ever. So Eventstore maybe not August but September
Stop introducing new events and go fix your bugs. š”š”š”š”š”š”
In titaxeb, 39 are no reds? Cut the Worm thing out of game
If you insist on constantly running pvp events which everyone hates, at least do them in the right systems. Put the pvp in the 39 systems and let pve be in the 36 systems. Even the high 40s players have trouble killing those 37 and 39 hostiles.
Dear Scopley. Were we not going to look at the bracketing of PvP so that we do not bracket people multiple levels higher with access to ship classes above you in the same bracket as you that throw you aside like garbage? A PvP game only works if it's close to fair.
Screenshot 2021-07-13 18.39.52.png In A Battle for The Ages Part 6, Picard orders us to disable the ship before it leaves the system but the game sends us to a ship in another system, Blys, and that system is a PvP zone! There should be a yellow hostile in Biruin for us to disable and a Mission should never send all players into a PvP zone!
@brisk osprey It should be a pvp zone for just a 2-days event, you have time afterwards to complete the new missions for battle for the ages milestones.
As usual, Scopely screws up events with missions. So lvl 30/31 pvp bracket is Blys, and you also have a mission in there? Oh y, oh y.. I cannot make out who is doing missions with those there for PvP.
@tribal kindle The ship should not be in Blys. It should be in Biruin.
The Doomsday worm BP event should have been part of the rotation for months. It's an event that only takes a few minutes to complete (unlike most Hostile Hunts).
PvP handicap is this a complicated concept or is it just me?? So much more fun for everyone to have level 41s hunting level 36 in the same system... Months of complaining and still they do nothingš„± How difficult is it to balance the PvP events to make it meaningful and engaging?
Hey Scopley, next time lets not put a arc mission inside a specific pvp event system. You end up with players not in that bracket going in there to be slaughtered by those who are in the bracket.
Brilliant Idea, putting the mission point in the pvp system
Ah, yes, because it would be unreasonable to put it in any one of dozens of other systems so folks dināt have to consider waiting until the pvp event was done
that's great if you know ahead of time that a pvp event is going on there... which I didn't
I dont hate pvp events I hate the fact my pvp system is empty due to the fact people in my bracket have been bullied into not doing pvp by the normal day to day pvp bracket where a level 50 can hit 33s
Whats the deal with me not being able to score at all for SLB but finished SMS?
Read the description. SLB requires you to use a Klingon or Romulan faction ship.
I canāt compete in the SLB either. (Ops 25) Sent a ticket and didnāt get far. Only 20 people even participated in my bracket, or should I say the L26+ bracket I was stuck into with L26 requirements to participate. GIVE ME MY TOKENS!!! I would have crushed this event!!!!
Stop grouping people into brackets where the rules make it impossible to compete. You ****** level 25, royally.
Make it right!!!!
Compensation!!!
Ummm devs really?
nothing like an impossible event to make your Wednesday....
never mind looks like it's and AMS not tagged as such...
Whereās phase 3?
It's actually a server milestone event
Hence the Global at the top right
