[hollow sundial]

or just incompetent?

[visual anchor]

Who’s the brainiac that thought it was a good idea to dump an entire server into one system for the academy event. Do you guys ever play this game? Even once?

[vagrant topaz]

Also a possibility!

[trim gazelle]

Hey, what is up with changing the rewards of Heavy Hitter AFTER IT GOES LIVE?????

@soft trench @tropic ibex @earnest harness That's really weak changing the rewards after launch

[pulsar pelican]

Another bonehead move made by Scopely….dumb just dumb

[covert wadi]

How does this make it through any thought process?

Was it supposed to be different at each level bracket and they screwed up?

[green latch]

You need to fix this academy crash course event. 40 hostile kills when an entire server is trying to chase them down in 1 bloody system is beyond ridiculous. Do you even know what you are doing?

[solar canopy]

Lol

[foggy socket]

Man. I can't even get to the system. lol

[green latch]

Where is our community manager? @wanton copper

[magic star]

sleeping

[foggy socket]

haven't built the botany bay so I haven't finished the quest to give me a path in.

[dry mantle]

can we please not do an event again where the entire server has to go to one system and then try to kill 40 hostiles. the lag is terrible, the spawn rate of the hostile is terrible, everyone is trying to kill the same 10 hostiles so you end up just sitting there watching people with better data connections killing everything.

why couldnt we kill hostiles in any augment system?

[fickle dirge]

@wanton copper is watching the fire from a great distance, as they submit their resume to other companies.

[fickle dirge]

At lest you can play. Sever 69 is still down.

[covert wadi]

I would be. I mean all the stuff he has to deal with because they are too lazy to think an event through

[dry mantle]

even moreso a reason to not put everyone in a single system

[manic estuary]

Not really necessary to say anything but WTF???

[limber zephyr]

developers and marketing... a community managers worst enemies 🤣

[keen nimbus]

Really, One system for the whole server for a event. What is scopely trying to do , get people to quit.

[fickle dirge]

Yes. This way they don't have to renew the IP license

[warm crest]

It's not bait and switch when it's corrected in the first hour of a 48 hour event. It's a correction of a mistake. Now the academy one? In one system? Seriously scopely? Who thought that was a good idea? Smh

[elfin sentinel]

@wanton copper, what's the deal? An entire server having to kill 40 hostiles each in only one system for the Academy event? Scopely didn't seem to think that one through. Show up, kill one, event complete ... okay... but to kill 40? So stupid!

[umbral mist]

I just want to thank scopely for ignori g the first part where it says hostiles that like to go after your surveyors.... Just think if it was one system and only the bounty hunters counted.... Lol

[buoyant iron]

Honestly the mistake is expecting an actual gaming company to PUT OUT EVENTS CORRECTLY to start. It shouldn't be that hard to simply check it before it's released.

[modern monolith]

Lol I got a language warning ...

Ok. Stop making dumb event decisions. Sending the entire server to a single system to get 1 or 2 kills would be fine. Sending us to kill 40 is ridiculously dumb

[quick nest]

@wanton copper Honestly, tell them next time to take the extra week and get it right. The number of new bugs, previously fixed bugs, content errors, event misfires, and overall dumb choices are making what was already a pretty lame arc even worse than February’s Charlie Foxtrot.

The number of unforced errors is bad enough. To keep repeating the same unforced errors month after month and adding more to the mix is really inexcusable.

[warm crest]

Was already a two week break I seriously don't understand how these programmers keep their jobs.

[green latch]

Still can't redeem alliance rewards...

[buoyant iron]

Add to it that this is a hostile grind LB. The person with the most grinding wins, and what does that take? Time. So for those of us who thought "Wow, that's a LOT (but not instantly unreasonable) amount of rss, we've wasted an hour of our lives trying to improve our event placement. SMS? Sure, people would be unhappy, but not like an SLB.

[lyric quiver]

Hey let’s have everyone chase reds in one system, what could go wrong?

[fickle dirge]

Event was planned Back in Jan I think... But sadly they don't have a QA team by the looks of it.

[buoyant iron]

Imagine if the Pike SLB comes out, and an hour after spending your mats, they switch it to SNW Spock instead. People would be storming Scopely.

[warm crest]

Spending mats is slightly different then killing a few hostiles

[supple sphinx]

It absolutely ridiculous the system I'd lagging can't attack ships in rainstorm...common sense your servers can't handle it and should have been spread over 5 systems

[undone idol]

It’s time for them to take a month off new arcs and say we’re dedicating the time to bug fixes and general QoL updates.

[supple sphinx]

Rainsford*

[warm crest]

But then they'd have to hire an actual QA team. Wouldn't want that.

[modern monolith]

Why when we willing beta test for free... heck some of you even pay for he right to do so

[dark horizon]

I really hope Eco is getting paid REALLY well considering the beating he takes in here

[junior stump]

Game is unplayable right now ships frozen cant collect rewards @wanton copper

[warm crest]

I'm not beating on eco. He's a content manager. It's the programmers that need to be taken out back...

[quick nest]

I would be totally fine with a month of mini events, borg/apex/etc, if they spent that time fixing issues, absolutely.

[umbral mist]

They need more than a month... A lot more

[quick nest]

Not necessarily, they just need Ripper, some hot pockets, and a 3 day weekend 😂

[visual anchor]

Worst part about Rainsford is that it hasn’t really got rolling yet. Wait until the after work crowd signs on and all of them head for Rainsford. It’s gonna make the mess happening there now look like a picnic.

[ocean prism]

Am I the only one expriencing the the fact that the event where we need to kill suluban bounty hunters only scores in one system? Is this intentional or just flat broken

[elfin sentinel]

Remember, QA doesn't generate revenue. They aren't value added per Lean practices. So what gets cut first? Yup...QA.

[brisk barn]

Classic scopely: changing event rewards. "OOps, these are too good"

[woven swan]

Nothing will change for the better until players stop spending. That’s the reality of the situation.

[thin bear]

Changing rewards after a SLB was active is ridiculous horrible Scopely. It's indefensibly bad.

THIS IS A COMPLETE FAILURE.

[spare kraken]

https://tenor.com/view/you-can-do-it-suck-gif-22600073

[young crag]

some of us still have this problem after patch40. quick fix not Scopey style

[ornate sundial]

Academy event points just got lowered!!

[ocean prism]

can we get some guidance on how we're supposed to get this event done? as it sits now it's broken and impossible

[warm crest]

Kill in rainsford

That simple. Good luck. Use a speed crew.

[austere mortar]

seriously, whoever thought up they event should be fired. and for heavens sake, hire som QA people for crying out loud.

[ocean prism]

you must be on a newer server even that isn't doable haha

[floral coyote]

NICE JOB SCOPELY, CHANGE THE STUPOD EVENT IN THE MIDDLE OF IT FROM 40 YO 20. I WAS AT 36 KILLS AND DID NOT GET COMPLETION REWARDS.

[dapper halo]

Why only 1 Augment system? You just really like a blood bath or servers crashing because there’s to many ships in a given system?

[warm crest]

No I'm not. Hence the good luck

[ocean prism]

Yeah you brought up what I've been trying for over an hour... one kill 😉 so hence the assumption you're on a newer server cheers

[brisk barn]

What's even more egregious is that alliance rewards are STILL bugged, but less than an hour after the event started they have reward payouts changed

[dry mantle]

lowering from 40 to 20. thanks i guess.

[green latch]

How about lowering to 1?

[ocean prism]

^ I like that suggestion...

[warm crest]

Nope. Server from day 1. Been playing since day 1

[ocean prism]

Me too!

[umbral mist]

Thanks for changing it after I completed it... I HAD TO DO 40, for I'm guessing the same rewards as those who only had to do 20....

Scopely has been stepping up their game at making the game broken, events broken, and players unhappy lol

[ornate sundial]

OK, so you lowered the scoring requirements. STILL not a chance in hell for many players!!!

[desert nimbus]

one system for the entire server to grind 40 mobs, well thought out

[untold arch]

So, heavy hitter was dil, but then you all decided to change it to steel? As a long time player, that's incredibly frustrating

[mild pagoda]

Yup, I was getting a head start on the leaderboard and now screw it
My 1st place 3.1b dil to now 3.1b steel isn't even comparable
Stupid decision by devs

[untold arch]

It leaves a bad taste in the base's mouth. It feels like a bait and switch

[dark horizon]

just rank on 3rd place, is it that hard ?

[magic star]

my goal, if i get steel on the rewards, will open a ticket, trust on that

[mild pagoda]

Clearly broken depending server or who views it
I was all Dil an hour ago, now all steel....

[grave rose]

Yeah I was excited to earn a bil dil token booo

[wooden blaze]

Ceritos event .I'm ops 36 so need to hit 50 hostiles while cloaked within 24 hrs. NO WAY can I get enough Tetrions in that time frame.

[dark horizon]

you dont need to be cloaked for the burrito

just pop a combat exo while killing reds

im confusing the events

[wooden blaze]

What 's the levels for g1,g2,g3 hostiles etc anyway.Never seen hostiles described like that before

[dark horizon]

thats the grade of the Exo

"with Grade x combat CB active" - also not sure why its a Combat CB and not Combat Exocomp, but thats what it refers to

[wooden blaze]

Ok, when do exos go up in grade. Every 10 ops levels or something?

[dark horizon]

check your exocomp factory info ... it will tell you, i dont know that

[wooden blaze]

Ah so sort of ops related.I can't upgrade my exo factory until ops40.

[queen kindle]

of stars on exocomp = the grade = the g level

[upbeat oxide]

why not just change the event back again.. problem solvede

[meager cave]

You can also do eclipse armadas for the Cerritos event. For some reason those score too 🙈

[deft sonnet]

Anyway thanks to @wanton copper for the fast reaction, but please make a permanent memo for Scopely to never send players killing hostiles in 1 System. Many players already have problems when an event requires shooting Eclipse enemies and there are at least multiple systems. 1 System is asking for trouble

[wanton copper]

Nope just getting information! I've said this before I believe, but usually when I'm not actively responding I'm reading and getting info

[warm crest]

Respectfully @wanton copper just lowering the requirements is not sufficient. Open up more systems.

[wanton copper]

Totally understand, thanks Phazonis

[deft sonnet]

It is disheartening at that point cause some problems and mistakes keep on happening

[umbral mist]

@wanton copper but what are you going to do for those who are burnt out who pushed through the issues and did all 40 before you reduced it to 20....

[clear ether]

Changing the rewards in Heavy Hitters after it launched and while working towards slb is insult. Keep the dil rewards

[umbral mist]

All the issues the past few weeks have been above and beyond the normal issues and mistakes, feels like we reverted back a bit... Almost makes me want to give up if it weren't for people I like....

What little enjoyment was left is almost gone

[turbid cedar]

dropping from 40 to 20 for Starfleet Academy #2 SMS was a start. But how about opening more systems NOW for this event? Too many players to have a single system for this.

[jade finch]

Not only that, but adding the SNW Medals for leaderboard only after people said "F This" and stopped is ridiculous.

[warm crest]

Correcting an error less than 2% into the event is just that. The whole thing is a disaster, but not an insult when people have barely started a 2 day event.

They screwed up royally, but expecting to keep a multi-billion dilithium reward just after the event started is a bit over the top.

[shell kettle]

let's force the entire server to fight for hostiles in 1 system the entire day, it's a great idea! (said no one ever)

[native peak]

@wanton copper Will the players that had over 20 kills for the Crash Course 2 but not 40 get the rewards for finishing the event? because when the amount was changed I never got the SMS completionist trophy or other rewards?

[umbral mist]

And provide a reward to those who went through the stress of doing it under the original conditions

[mild pagoda]

No one cares about adding Medals now with the steel for Heavy Hitters
Bring back Dil exactly as the event started at event reset
Don't bait the community and offer us trash after the fact

[warm crest]

Thanks for adding more systems @wanton copper

[umbral mist]

Changing rewards, unless it is adding to is not good...

[sullen ore]

im pissd too. made it up to 10th with inertia. now I learned screwply switched the rewards, I'm not pushing

[dark horizon]

I said it before, if they screw up the rewards then just eat the error and dont lower them after the fact. Mistakes happen, what makes them worse is changing them in the middle of the event

[umbral mist]

Changing requirements after people finished a sms, is horrible if you don't provide something to those who finished it under the original

[hollow flicker]

one system for a event, no increased spawn rates, sounds like some dev plays on a server of 4 players, they are all friends and luv each other. that or all the devs forgot to drink coffee before work.. that engine wasnt working.

[oblique ore]

The event change of the sms has no effect. The added systems does not work. Independent of this we need for about 1000 players 20 or more systems. 3 are furthet much too less.

[warm crest]

Yes the added systems do work

[waxen marlin]

Clean system and then do event

Working as intended

They trying to promote pvp

Like ppl aren t on edge already

[astral galleon]

how is it possible to screw up this much? What the hell? This is outrageous

[hollow flicker]

promote pvp in one system on servers that can handle the number of people wanting to enter the system.. funny you click on system.. and it wont let you travel to the system.. cause it has to many players in it already.. lol

[waxen marlin]

Well unfortunately not the first time

[light canyon]

The academy event would be better if people could complete it all when there ready like the other numbered events in the past instead of having to wait for the next day

[waxen marlin]

Pity they screwed up this one those enigma type of event are pretty cool usually

Pity they are not promoting more alliance event

[sterile wigeon]

So, I'll say: On one hand, I'm thankful that they're willing to listen to feedback and make modifications fairly early in an event that's going poorly. On the other hand, how did we get here to begin with? They surely have many metrics on user engagement and activity during arcs. They have hourly performance data. They have historical information on events constrained to small areas entirely dependent on spawn points (recent eclipse SLB, anyone?). They know this, and thus they're left - in my mind - with two options:

1. Don't run events that create poor UX and leave players fighting over limited resources in a very tiny space in a laggy system for a very high point-count given these factors.
2. Temporarily increase system resources, and spawn rates and locations (e.g. make them spawn more often and more randomly like borg on steroids).

The SLB is a different factor. Changing event rewards should only ever be done in the extreme positive direction. The Medal of Honor addition was an OK-enough touch, but going from dil to par in the first pass of changing the rewards was just silly. And that weird intermediate zone where only Rank 3 was dil. I think a further 'nice' modification would be extending the SLB to 100 ranks, especially given that it's a 2-day.

This just feels sloppy over all. I know this must have been planned out for months in advance, but how many checks and balances do y'all really have passing through your product/marketing/dev team? Are your employees afraid to speak up? Is there an oppressive culture? Is this all truly by design and you only back down when the playerbase freaks out?

[bold lodge]

That's because it is a bait and switch.

[elfin shard]

What am I supposed to kill for the Starfleet Academy mission?

[gleaming cosmos]

Heavy hitter still bugged it looks like. The common ore reward for finishing 11-25 is listed as uc ore

Fail after fail after fail……

[wanton copper]

Really appreciate all the feedback on this and your thoughts on the matter. I believe many other Commanders have said many of the same thing.

I can say that for the SLB, the reward was always intended to be parasteel which is why it was adjusted. I totally understand your concerns about the rewards, and we never want anyone to feel like we're trying to "pull a fast one". We also added on the SNW recruit tokens to try and make up for the difference in rewards and since we saw many of you felt like the rewards weren't good enough.

[bold lodge]

The SLB may have been intended to be parsteel, but it came out as Dilli and many of us started investing time and resources in winning the event. Dilli is much more compelling than Parsteel and different time decisions would have been made if Scopely had gotten the event right to begin with.

So, regardless of intent it is a bait and switch

[earnest harness]

Thanks for flagging this ❤️

[vagrant topaz]

Starfleet Academy#2 is still glitched. I’m hitting everything in the augment sector and nothing is scoring.

[night socket]

Will the problem with the alliance reward chests be addressed any time soon? I understand the whole mess with the Academy needed fixing, but we actually paid a pretty penny for those chests yesterday and they still are unawaible. Thank you

[queen kindle]

Try in Raddan

[vagrant topaz]

That worked. Thanks. Look like Rainsford, Lydan and Raddan are the ones scoring.

[fervent pivot]

Just to let you know: I have others to do instead of waiting to get some Systems in and reduce the points to get. Some of US have to work half of day. So I really have to do something? Really? I even would be done without of both. So how about just giving Gifts like all of time the Job is mit done by you? Cause I don't have time for that crap

[solemn bloom]

Damn y’all long texting

[patent river]

Most of us responsible folks plan of daillies taking a fixed time. Having a misstep or new feature puts the available planned time at risk...priorities have to be made. I thought there was some reasononing of not having prolonged daillies. I get the fact of keeping daily users engaged.

Hiccups in the system jack everything up.

[sick mural]

Is there an event list thats not ingame?

[jaunty jay]

The way this arc is going the most fun I’m having is mining. Yup

[dapper gazelle]

There's the event-information channel if that's the list you're looking for

[strong lagoon]

The lack of economic scale in these missions is almost as bad as the writing. It only takes 1000 Tritanium to repair a station but 4000000 Dilithium to repair a shuttle (and 250K Dilithium to build a 3* warship). The story is weak enough already without some arbitrary mission level making suspension of disbelief all but impossible.

[mossy relic]

I want to go out on a limb here and say thank you for all the trit in the elite battlepass! cheers!

[cinder iron]

This is crap making all these updates as download patches that rob me of my high speed over the phone Wi-Fi high speed and game playing time cause their done when I want to play and can play do updating a a downtime patch that can be installed anytime not on player’s time have to pay for my internet use. Are you going to put cash back in my pocket since your pulling it out of my pocket not once but twice in a row now

[cinder iron]

Won’t be able to play tonight this holodeck install which could have been done like the treasury but no you got to burn up my high speed internet time so now on low speed with two updates burned up my high speed time and still burning it up. So won’t be able to play. So now paid for the bonus BattlePass that I can’t play now when I want too you’ve taken money out of my pocket too burning up my internet time thanks for ripping me off

@patent river hiccups lol, think it's more like acid reflux

[clear copper]

I completed missions 1 to 5, how do I start missions 6 to 10?

[white bramble]

They will launch at some point before event end

[clear copper]

Thanks

[rich orbit]

im probably not even gonna buy a bp this month , i mean the snw chest is the only thing that looks good, but thats it, no way to source the currency for it, very lame

[lyric quiver]

Server crashed

By the way anyone else’s allegiance daily disappear after completing the daily only 1x?

[short matrix]

Yup server crash on server 35

[lyric quiver]

Server 8 down

[limpid prism]

For some reason I can’t do the second mission for current event. It does not show up as a holodeck option.

[rapid valley]

Server 12 is down

[white bramble]

Known issue that has been passed on

[empty slate]

looks like the stacking alliance gifts is sorted

probably got so big the game collapsed

[keen flax]

OKAY, NOW IM NOT GETTING CRITICAL POINTS FROM EVERY KILL, I get 1 then 5 missing then again I get it . SCOPLY

I'm Hitting the same hostile in borg n eclipse with same crew !!!!!

[potent oracle]

probe kills end fast and sometimes you dont crit, check the log before spazzing out

[rich orbit]

i hope they source out the snw chest in recruits, its indeed a lovely chest with the ship s included, again, hope scopley gives plenty of tokens for it

[ancient ferry]

We'll see what mess scopley make of the next event, yesterday was farcical

I kill 40 hostiles then they reduce it to 20

I don't bother with the critical hit event as not worth it and move to ds, then they change the rewards, they are beyond a joke

[keen flax]

I did check logs, n i was with other in 74 and we having the same issues

In our server bracket, is a big competition going n we not getting the points cause rif n issues

[high aurora]

Please Schedule a Second Para Bellum and Jellyfish Brawl. It is the primary source of 4* uncommons and parts for folks to progress their ships, research, buildings and compete in auction events (aside from the battlepass)

[high aurora]

Assignment Hunter not scoring….fyi, I crit on the assignment…

[warm crest]

One system for kills again. Scopely, seriously? @wanton copper

[high aurora]

This is just embarrassing at this point…

[spring umbra]

Doubling down on failure from yesterday’s event I see

[vagrant topaz]

Few seconds have gone by, no announcement.

[warm crest]

Seriously? I mean come on. Did yesterday teach them absolutely nothing?

[dim lodge]

Just to repeat... Another single system for the entire server???

[manic estuary]

Another one?? Really??

And if anything an even less populated system by hostiles

[deep yoke]

Scopley never learns from their screw ups

[ocean prism]

did they learn nothing from yesterday?

like really....

[dry mantle]

So let me get this strait. After an event where you got enough feedback to decide to change it up you decided it would be fine to run it again unchanged?

Are your memories that short?

[civic gorge]

@wanton copper "...and will try to include more systems for events like this in the future." How?

[winged roost]

Single systeme again! WTF! "We wont do it again" does it again "oups we will do better" does it again.

-Scoppy...

[toxic sinew]

https://tenor.com/view/chirs-farley-shocked-what-huh-omg-gif-13613361

[high aurora]

@wanton copper if you guys think trolling us in an event description is funny, it’s not

[native peak]

Are you guys really that lazy/stupid that you learned nothing yesterday????

[dry mantle]

I'm actually flabbergasted.

[high aurora]

It intentional, read the event description “get there before it gets too crowded”

[toxic sinew]

They have already corrected slightly. See #⚡-mod-announcements message

[high aurora]

That is seriously the most freaking tone deaf bs thing I have read is is infuriating

[halcyon walrus]

@wanton copper can you please confirm that the away team scoring does not work for critical hits only or for everything? because i had 4 critical in a row and none gave points

[civic gorge]

Yeah intentionally irritating players

[toxic sinew]

And thank you for chiming in quickly @wanton copper

[brazen oyster]

How DUMB can u be ....

[lost salmon]

Looks like no points when completing epic away team assignments🙈

[jolly lantern]

Seriously again, do the Devs never learn, 2 days in a row they think it is a good idea to have the whole server fight in 1 system for hostiles

[high aurora]

And taunt us in the event description….

[worn needle]

This actually unfair to the early comers, this is the second time they reduced the event while I gain nothing from it

[stiff wren]

seriously? they said they LISTENED to us yesterday about our complaints about 1 single system's hostiles that the entire galaxy has to duke it out over. and the VERY NEXT DAY!!!!! they do the EXACY SAME THING!!! $copely, what are you thinking?

[native peak]

@wanton copper are the rewards from yesterday ever going to be fixed? Still haven't got the trophy rewards after you adjusted it.

[halcyon walrus]

is the away team only not working for critical hits or for eveyrthing?

[thin bear]

Criticals not giving points in Assignment Hunter? Another day, another REPEATED unforced error. Why the F is this a recurring issue?

DO BETTER. STOP MAKING BASIC MISTAKES.

[high aurora]

Yeah, just lost an epic.....should have known better to collect it I guess..

[earnest harness]

#⚡-mod-announcements message

[rustic bison]

Obvious point of frustration, but is there not a BA, PM, or some form of QA person looking at events for 'tomorrow' telling designers, something to the effect of "hey we screwed this up yesterday, maybe we should get ahead of it today?"

[lime moat]

MORE AND MORE SPENDERS ARE READY TO QUIT…….GAME DESIGN HAS SHOT THEMSELVES IN THE FOOT……I DO NOT WANT TO LOSE THIS COMMUNITY,!!!!

[halcyon turtle]

@wanton copper #⚡-mod-announcements message

Thanks for this update it was speedily done and we appreciate it. However this then begs the question about your events teams dev tools. Why could this not be adjusted BEFORE the event launched today? Surely after yesterdays mess with the same thing it would have been a high priority for a single member of the team to go through the arcs events and amend any events relying on "one system" for scoring.

Just in the name of transparency here from you guys, could you perhaps shed some light on if this was simply an oversight by the team or if there simply isn't a tool that allows the event to be amended prior to going live?

[scenic flint]

This needs to be a position at Scopely. Someone whose only job is to look at events and make sure they are not repeating past mistakes

[green latch]

WTAF Scopely!

[floral coyote]

ITS GROUNDHOG DAY. NICE JOB SCOPELY. HAVE YOU NO PRIDE IN YOUR WORK?

[halcyon turtle]

@wanton copper sorry for the double ping but... I mean if it's the former, it's kind of terrible that after the outrage yesterday sparked you guys managed to overlook this. If it's the latter, well maybe you should have announced this would change after launch yesterday?

[rustic bison]

I get that a lot of this stuff is roadmapped and planned in advance, but whoever (individual or team) is currently in charge of that roadmap/product design isn't aware of real-world usage constraints or doesn't have enough data insight to predict/plan for this small funnel events

[thin bear]

I know I'm not a whale, but I'm pretty sure that over the last 3.5 years I'm close to $15K in. But I'm about done with the same. repeated. issues. every. day.

The slow sourcing of officers after arcs. Auctions for THREE YEAR OLD OFFICERS.

The game is fun.

The repetitive screw ups is a middle finger from Scopely to it's entire player base. This has to stop - because it never should have started.

[mild glacier]

STOP PACKING THE ENTIRE SERVER INTO 1 TO 3 SYSTEMS YOU ABSOLUTE IMBECILES!!!! The only thing that makes me stop playing this game (aside from server downtime) is when I literally can’t do things because a system is literally un-enterable due to the number of players there.

[green latch]

@wanton copper I am not spending another dollar for this game until something major is done to revamp how this is being operated. Period.

[winged roost]

What about checking if #5 is one system or not. Heads up! Since no one seems to have checked! What about fixing it now while you're at it.

[deep yoke]

No pts for AT. Unbelievable

[frozen charm]

#⚡-mod-announcements message

[outer gulch]

Also the events are little nonsense. Why not just let us push a button with any kind of donation as alternative to go thru it with one click/tap? There are no skills needed anyway.
Originally i wanted to say, more events pls 💩
No, my idea is, get rid of the dailies and 💩, go for monthly 😘

[halcyon fiber]

next level dumb, straight up mocking your fed up playerbase

[halcyon turtle]

Guys, I get a lot of players are angry but let's not call the dev team names like imbecile... it doesn't actually help the situation any. Try to be polite because ultimately if you were in your job and people were calling you names, you wouldn't be happy about it and whether there was justifiable cause for the anger of the person or not - you'd resent people taking that approach

[halcyon fiber]

at least noone is happy then

[halcyon turtle]

They won't be happy regardless but attack the issue not the people.

[mild glacier]

They ARE imbeciles because the keep making the same mistakes over and over again

[halcyon fiber]

the people are the issue

[mild glacier]

💯

[halcyon turtle]

One could flip your argument on it's head. And say the players are imbeciles because we continue to play the game expecting things to change. It wouldn't be helpful but your logic applies.

[outer gulch]

Money is the issue 🤑

[halcyon turtle]

Which is why name calling isn't helpful

[mild glacier]

@halcyon turtle no one could not, no logic there.

[thin bear]

If players start quitting, will the people who keep making the same mistakes be fired? Because if I made this same major mistake on a regular basis, I would be.

[outer gulch]

Fired a friend today 😅

[mild glacier]

@lean ridge unless you are making the assumption that playing the game is a mistake, in which case yes I’d agree there.

[green latch]

in·com·pe·tent

[vagrant topaz]

Wow... So over this crap... Let's send the entire server to one system and wonder why so many are leaving the game...

[knotty bolt]

Yep as long as the spenders spend their money on a broken game the longer this will continue.

[keen dawn]

In NO OTHER INDUSTRY is incompetence like we see here from Scopely even tolerated

[halcyon turtle]

I beg to differ - look at the travel and airport industry atm

or politics

[pure sun]

Ridiculous absolutely crazy the amount of money sunk into this game for it to be subpar.

[frozen charm]

In lots of industries, the incompetence that Scopely has shown is greatly tolerated.

[jaunty bone]

And all they say to us is "known issue"

[keen dawn]

I’ve had fewer problems traveling cross country that I’ve had here

[white bramble]

What else do you expect? We aren’t told anything other than they recorded the issue and are investigating.

[halcyon turtle]

Hundreds/thousands of flights across Europe are being cancelled every day at the moment.

[green latch]

This is a logical fallacy as they are not equivalent examples

[outer gulch]

U take it way to serious, this is just a game folks 😅

[keen dawn]

Due to strikes over pay, not rampant incompetence

It’s always hilarious reading posts here, and being able to identify the Scopely Apologists

[outer gulch]

Anyone wants to talk about quality of life?❤️😘😀

[halcyon turtle]

Actually it's not due to strikes over pay. It's because the industry let people go during the Covid Pandemic to save on costs. Despite the governments of multiple countries running schemes to guarantee payment of staff wages. Then when the covid restrictions were lifted the airlines and airports failed to adequately re-recruit employees or train employees to staff the airports and planes. So services can't run because of a lack of staff due to incompetence from their senior management

[elfin sentinel]

Be careful. You'll get put in Scopely timeout for suggesting such things here.

[jaunty bone]

Well if everyone is thinking it banning us all only makes it worse

[keen dawn]

How convenient

[jaunty bone]

Yep already deleted

[green latch]

We are angry because we want this to be better, because we're tired of people flocking out of our servers and our friends and alliance mates quitting. Of seeing once powerful alliances reduced to nothing. The ultimate thing we want is for the management at Scopely to sit up and listen and understand what we are all here to do. Give us some credit, the people I play with are incredibly smart and accomplished folks from all walks of life. If Scopely has to throw their roadmap for the year in the garbage, then do it! Prove to us that you're willing to admit mistakes. Mistakes happen, digging in and not adapting to a changing environment will make you Toys R Us not Amazon.

[elfin sentinel]

See?

[zealous brook]

💩

[halcyon turtle]

I'm hardly apologising for Scopely here. I've asked Eco to explain why this wasn't changed yesterday prior to the event launching and if they don't have the tools to do this in advance of the event launch, why he didn't post a reasonable advance warning of the event needing to be changed after launch yesterday considering the outrage and issues caused by yesterday with Rainsford. I'm simply saying there's asking difficult questions and expecting answers and then there is being rude to people by calling them names. Did your mother never teach you that you get further with milk and honey than vinegar and salt?

[knotty bolt]

I'm not surprised.

[elfin sentinel]

Happened to me yesterday...

[frozen charm]

But have you tried salt and vinegar chips? They're amazing.

[halcyon turtle]

I have but I'm going to shock you - I haven't eaten crisps (that's chips to you americans) for 20 years now.

[jaunty bone]

wear it with pride

[frozen charm]

Not surprised or shocked at all. They're not the healthiest snack or side. There are many better options for food to consume.

[halcyon turtle]

it's more of a texture/sensation thing for me. reminds me too much of when I first transitioned from liquids to solid food after shattering my jaw and my jaw broke again.

[elfin sentinel]

Snuff the Bobby, put him in the boot, then take the lorry to your flat to eat some biscuits while calling your barrister.

Two people separated by a common language.

[fickle dirge]

@wanton copper LV19 players and lower are still not getting the Starfleet Crash Course, didn't get the Away Team SLB, and still SOL on the Heavy Hitter SLB.

[civic gorge]

😂 They removed critical succes altogether from ATA. That's the "fix".

[buoyant ember]

The Barclay Pack is not worth the value (25 shards & 3* resources) and limited to 3, crazy. Not worth $99.00. Packs need to reflect the OPS level the player has and offer items that will assist them complete tasks for their level (not a generic one pack for all). @wanton copper

[woeful wigeon]

Dear God, this is spiteful after yesterday

[white bramble]

“Fast” Fastolf?

[woeful wigeon]

Oh probably. Haven't bothered, just... "Better hurry before it gets crowded 😉😉😉😉" after yesterday's clusterf

[rich orbit]

so you can either buy the snw tokens somehow or you can only get them thru the ...leaderboards....smh

[woeful wigeon]

Just heard they added another system. Great. But this is embarrassing to have the same issue the next day, and fail to address it prior.

[sharp lark]

The announcements say the ATA crit successes should be scoring correct now, but I'm not getting any scoring for crits, even after the announcement. Anyone else?

[halcyon turtle]

https://tenor.com/view/hello-it-have-you-tried-turning-it-off-and-on-again-telephone-on-call-gif-15495555

[sharp lark]

More than once, yeah lol

[winged bison]

So the best you could come up with was add an additional system to reduce the congestion? Is that all you could come up with with all the minds at Scopely?

[halcyon turtle]

they halved the scoring too

[winged bison]

And this helps how?

[white bramble]

They added a system

And halved the requirements

Give it a few hours and you can freely do the event

[halcyon turtle]

20 is better than scrambling around for 40 kills at 1 point per

[winged bison]

Are you guys working for Scopely by any chance?

[white bramble]

No

[halcyon turtle]

Absolutely not... I applied for Eco's job I didn't get interviewed even

😂

[brazen oyster]

I love the event description "get there quick, before it fills up!" ... obviously well aware it will be a pain in t a to do :)

[halcyon turtle]

The important question on this issue is this one:

#💬-events-feedback message

[winged bison]

Well the reason I asked is you guys are defending them..

[halcyon turtle]

Accepting that changing the event is welcome and we're grateful for it is not defending Scopely

[white bramble]

No not really. I don’t like the fact we got 2 systems, given how many people are on each server. Tbh I don’t really like this arc and my distaste for it has been shared but it’s out of my hands to change much

[halcyon turtle]

They could have simply said "event is what event is get over it"

is 2 systems or 3 systems great? No. But then before the new 33 Borg systems got added every event involving Borg Probes became that. There's still only 1 level 29 Borg Probe system

there's only 3 systems for Swarm sunday at OPS36

It doesn't mean it's defending scopely to simply say "Well any amount of changes to improve the situation is better than none"

[winged bison]

Oh wow.. i didn't realise that #💬-events-feedback just became, #🏆-event-chat

[astral coral]

Was there an ETA on the AT Event scoring fixes?

[winged bison]

Guys I get your point, and I welcome your inputs..

But that is not what I am doing in this channel...

I am genuinely asking Scopely that with all their Engineering / Management minds they could come up with just these two changes?

Just for a minute stop shutting down folks for asking Scopely a question..

If you are going to be the Spokesperson for Scopely.. this will never change.. they will not think this though enough..

[white bramble]

Don’t worry I’ve passed on your question 😊🖖

[halcyon turtle]

that's more of a rhetorical question than anything else because you already know the answer

[winged bison]

The point I was going to make is that everyone has a set time or prime time if you want to call it... and from having played this game for 3 yrs now.. its always the first two hours at event reset..

So reducing it 20 or having a second system with slow hostile spawn wont help everyone finish the events in their "prime time"..

this is what i want Scopely to think this through properly..

[umbral mist]

The minds are on sabbatical, vacation, holiday... Except for one unlucky one who has to deal with the issues those away left her/him/it

[halcyon turtle]

But is this ever the case?

[toxic sinew]

My timing for everything got thrown off by a power outage last night. Curse you Scopely for causing severe thunderstorms!!

[halcyon turtle]

how many can complete every event in their "prime" window

[winged bison]

go and look at both systems on your servers.. for the next 2 hours..

if the number of ships have reduced to less than 20 hunting hostiles.. i take back feedback...

[halcyon turtle]

Again is it ever the case that events can be completed by every player in the first 2 - 3 hours following launch?

[winged bison]

That is what we are aiming towards.. where were you when we had all those quality of life improvemets...

[hardy knoll]

I finished it in 5 min. Wasn't crowded at all when I went in.

[winged bison]

Same in my case.. but I speak for my alliance members who cannot log in at the time of event reset.. and do that..

Folks just gave up and left.. and told themselves they will do it if they can...

[halcyon turtle]

That isn't the objective. The objective is that an SMS event should be 100% achievable within the allotted time without having to spend actual money on the SMS unless it's specifically an event designed to never be completed like a "Heroic"

So something like this like go kill 20 hostiles in those 2 systems? within a 24 hour period? that is achievable

[winged bison]

You did not get my point above, did you?

[halcyon turtle]

you're focusing on the wrong aspect of the issue here. As I asked Eco - the issue is why if they knew how much outrage there is in the community over the single system hostile grind event yesterday they didn't either change the upcoming events before they launched, or failing that if that cannot be done did Eco not advise us YESTERDAY that this was the case and to expect the event to change shortly after launch

[halcyon turtle]

I get your point but your point is not the crux of the issue

I think a lot of players could forgive the fact that the event launched with a single system and a 40 kill count if we had been given advance warning that the event could not be changed until after it launches.

I think if there are MORE events in this arc that like today's and yesterdays events require kills in a single system if those events cannot be changed before they go live that Eco should TELL US NOW in advance of this

so players understand and can expect the changes

[toxic sinew]

Probably true.

[halcyon turtle]

the problem with this event is not that it's 2 systems for a whole server

the problem with this event is that it launched without prior communication that it would be changed

following on from yesterdays problems

[toxic sinew]

True, but I do consider the fundamental 1 system for this event design choice to be an problem as well. Though, in fairness, not a new one as it is repeated with some swarm and borg events as well.

[halcyon turtle]

The fact that it's a single system for every level player from 20 - 60 on a server is an issue yes. But it's reasonable to assume that any events requiring this type of thing will be expanded to reduce targets and add other scoring systems in since Scopely knows how we all feel about these. We made that clear yesterday. The problem that caused the anger today is that they did not communicate in advance with us that there would be issues with the event and that it would be changed

[wanton copper]

You're right, I think I could have 100% better communicated this to avoid the frustration of this morning. I'll try and be better about that in the future Iceglow

[halcyon turtle]

Most of you guys know I moderate for Rev, you know that I am there in almost every stream and hear it all. We talk of standards yes but a big standard and it's one that has improved since @wanton copper started but still needs work is communication

[winged bison]

@halcyon turtle I appreciate the response you have provided. You are right in about mitigating how the community might feel if there was an announcement, But that is not the problem here.

I still think Scopley need to think the events from "quality of life" improvement in the game, as they promised to do 2 years ago..

[halcyon turtle]

So on that basis... Eco are there more events which will need adjustment after launch coming? Can you please check with the team and let the players know. Not just with Discord but with a news post pushed in game for those who do not frequent Discord explaining what they are and if possible how Scopely intends to change them to make it better for the players today?

[wanton copper]

More than happy to follow up about that Ice

[white bramble]

This is a good shout

[halcyon turtle]

agreed but, baby steps - let's solve the issues of this month first because as Rev has said and others have said. We are experiencing an arc planned somewhere in the region of 5 - 6 months ago

We won't necessarily see massive changes to events and quality of life balance for a few more months

[toxic sinew]

I do think it is fair to ask that they have someone reexamine the plans for the next few months and see if there are other similar issues that they might be able to address in advance.

[winged bison]

I will write this out in Agile format that the Scopely devs will understand. This should be applied to all their ARC SMS event designs.. "I need to design an event whereby the event can be completed by majority of the server in the first 3 hours".. If any event does not meet this criteria then they should re-think the design of the event.

[halcyon turtle]

But @wanton copper is aware of how we all feel on this. I'm sure he is talking to the dev team to help ensure that future content will be better balanced for the player because that's his job. And Eco sounds at least somewhat competent at the job.

[halcyon turtle]

agreed, that should definitely be on the cards for the team to look at

[brazen oyster]

Risk informing every player 'bout stuff 70% just don't care and are oblivious to. People here reading are the very minority of players ... I assume.

[rustic plover]

So AT scoring for the event, is there no difference between success and critical success? Echo’s announcement made me believe there would be more points for critical but it’s still scoring as just a success.

[white bramble]

I have asked about this to see if the adjust has been made and just not showing visually

[austere mortar]

didn’t we just talk about having an event where everyone must kill hostiles in one specific system.

i mean seriously….

[grand pike]

I totally understood that statement... 🙂

[trail egret]

Scopely you are killing the fun of the quiz type events. I used to really look forward to these. But they were short simple tasks that were not a grind. Now we are fighting for 20-40 hostiles in a limited number of systems. Followed by needing to mine 1M points worth of ore? That's just another grind event. What happened to just mining one piece of something and letting us move on to the next quiz? I don't understand how you can take one of the more fun things as far as events and just turn it into another grind. We have enough of those already.

[halcyon turtle]

The ATA speedup is just a token gesture. The real thing is the correction of your score. The problem is the chest can't be empty for it to work so 1 hour speedup

[jaunty bone]

yeh

[versed onyx]

The one system and go kill hostile events are terrible. I'm not really sure why this was introduced. Please make them go away.

Sincerely,
Everyone

[blazing shadow]

I have been looking at some of my logs and noticed that not all the fights with crits are being counted in the heavy hitters slb

[blazing shadow]

Never mind I it has updated while I wrote this. Guess it’s delayed

[undone idol]

I get they need to plan multiple months out, but this arc is proof they need to press pause on their plans and introduce no new content until they deal with bugs and QoL updates. Once those are addressed they then need to revisit their plans and verify that they’re not reintroducing or breaking new things

[vagrant topaz]

I’d settle for bringing some QoL updates in during the new content.

[rustic plover]

Well I’ve just install Diablo immortal, seems pretty good and I always loved Diablo… they also have packs for 89pence… yes not £89 🤣

[toxic sinew]

I did see the $0.99 starter packs.

[jade finch]

Anyway we can get advance notice on what the one system they'll try to herd us to tomorrow for an event so we can set up early?

[queen kindle]

Beta Paldorios, I'd set up early so you beat the rush 😈

[jade finch]

I wouldn't put it past them to set up the event in a system no one can get to.

[high harbor]

Was this points correction supposed to be for uncredited ATs or for ATs which came back crit but were scored without a bonus?

[white bramble]

No a correction was made to critical success missions as they scored 0 points overall.

For this event critical success should score as success

There is no critical success scoring mechanic

[strong anchor]

So the new faction allegiance dailies aren’t getting counted. I did the faction dailies, but have only 11/30 towards the allegiance dailies. It’s like my kills in Sol were counted but not my kills in Dark Space

[strong anchor]

Now they are counting. Maybe just another scoring glitch. To be expected?

[strong anchor]

13 capital traders and 37 fed explorers in dark space, but the faction allegiance daily tallied 11. The other 39 kills were what, unlucky? 🤷‍♀️

[strong anchor]

Plus the heavy for parabellum, so only 11 out of 51 skills actually scored anything. I’m grinding out the rest now bc I’ve already learned there’s no point reporting to CS

[kind wagon]

Yesterday I received 0 points in borg space under lvl31 for heavy hitter event. Today in lvl29 I scored 51mil points. What happened yesterday? Feeling a little cheated.

[halcyon fiber]

its totally weird, i woke up a few minutes before event reset, saw allegiance daily at 0, while i definetly killed more than 25 of the required hostiles for the daily

i feel like it pops up at random times of the day

[dry shadow]

well holodeck missions do not give out Barclay shards

did the borg holodeck and it wouldnt let me click collect on the one of eleven shards....

had to restart... so do not know if I got the Shards which for me will be transporter patterns as I have one of eleven maxed

[uneven relic]

it depends, When did you score the points?? by the discord timing of your post, the Allegience daily had reset 3 Hours prior, so if you had done any before that time and not finished it, it would've reset.

Nah, it’s how it translates from a couple of languages.

[keen dawn]

What’s wrong with it?

[white bramble]

The who?

[vague fossil]

New daily for killing lvl 52 faction hostiles on lvl 52 is nearly impossible. I suggest to make it kill level 51 hostiles since the gap is too large and you'll need an unafordable g4 epic or a g5 uncommon ship.

[marble jolt]

Have to give scopely credit the holodeck looks a good feature just waiting for the bugs and cash grab to start

[open folio]

Crashed again this morning,
Ship will be destroyed any gifts for inconvenience

Again!

[nimble dragon]

Nice. I’m chasing down the number one spot in heavy hitters slb and server crash. Not cool. How about some compensation for 44 hours of blood sweat and tears only to now sit and wait

[sonic kernel]

Nothing is scoring for the daily activities.

[dire pumice]

I would love to report something.....but I still can't log in. Maybe later huh?

[strong anchor]

No, this was an hour before reset. Also I’m if I’m grinding cap traders, prob safe to assume the game’s cycles aren’t new to me

[sly zodiac]

Is it me or is the heavy hitter slb basically un winnable for anyone lower than level 39 in that level bracket. 39s have the advantage of deep space swarm hostiles and ability to level Franklin A past level 10.

[white bramble]

Stella is also a thing

[sly zodiac]

Yes, but higher swarms produce higher points than eclipse. It’s a time in game disparity. 39 can spend less time grinding for better results

[cold grotto]

The pack is already in the store.

[mighty star]

Battlepass event missing today?

[junior sonnet]

It’s missing, there should be one

[ocean prism]

Yeah. I dont know what to say.

[drifting robin]

As they leave the house and get to the end of the neighborhood....They realize they forgot to get in the car. This is how I picture Scopely.

[stoic bough]

That implies they ever bought a car in the first place...

[old gate]

THey don't need one...Just like your wallet, they just steal it.

[ocean prism]

or that they were walking to the right end of the neighbourhood?

and it appears! yet another mining event...

[strong anchor]

Battle Pass event today?

[thin bear]

5 epics for a normal SMS? I can do it, but this seems ridiculously expensive compared to the normal SMS. That, plus a 20 min delay in even having a BP event is day 4 of "Scopely gonna Scopely and screw the player base".

And I'm trying to be nice about it - but the continual repeat mistakes. SIGH

[iron cape]

anyone else missing the BP event??

[cold solstice]

When Lindstrom is completely EMPTY of armadas, you have a problem with armadas not spawning fast enough. lol

[raven heron]

Exactly!

[unborn igloo]

@wanton copper no BP event for ops 29 players. Mining iso for nothing

[trail shale]

restart, itll show up

[lost kite]

@Eco - So mined like crazy and unloaded after the Evening reset. Nothing credited towards the Daily BP Event, although it's a mining Event.

Closed game, and restarted, but still the points have not been awarded.

Why is the Evening reset now the source of immense frustration; when it should be one of enjoyment?

[trail shale]

this whole week has been one absolute disaster after another.

[languid marlin]

@wanton copper @sterile wharf

Epic Borg Armadas only counting for 50 points despite event listing them as should be scoring 100

[vagrant topaz]

Hi, stuff is broken again. Fix pls thx

[languid marlin]

Suggestion log #847...

@wanton copper mining event for battlepass not registering points

[high aurora]

Currently there seems to be some severe scoring lag

At least I hope is it lag, cause I just dumped 2 mill officer xp with no points for the ticketed event scored

Lag confirmed, just got points

[quiet surge]

mined 80k raw lat and have not got any points

[rigid warren]

for me also, i have crystal ticket event, just refreshed 60K nothing, not even a BP event

[quiet surge]

i just got it lol

i guess everyone is trying to do the events and servers are getting overloaded

[wanton copper]

Looks like there is about a 4 to 5 minute delay in scoring

Commanders are reporting in now they are starting to see points

Would you mind letting me know if the points start coming in for you as well?

[high pine]

Server 40 scoring is coming in, but delayed a bit

[upper flame]

what servers ? oh you mean the 8088 they have running this ?

[latent merlin]

Completionist isn't scoring

[unborn igloo]

thanks, but 0 points because i recalled miner before event was there

[languid marlin]

Points finally came in for mining event. Scoring still wrong for epic borg armadas.

[wanton copper]

Looking into the borg armadas still for you Excathedra

[mighty star]

Brother. Dont do anything until its clear what the events are. Not the first time that this happens. Will happen again

[hot bluff]

Still angry that ticketed event rewards were lessened the last few months. This was a paid product for some of us, Scopely. Not cool!

[lost kite]

@mighty star - That's not always possible, when players plan to have a full (Protected cargo) load almost immediately after the Event reset time.

Players manage to plan and execute what they do in a logical and structured fashion.

How come Scopely can't do the same? Not once, not twice, but pretty much every day without fail.

[wanton anvil]

This arc is by far the worst ever. I can rate it now.. F - There is no coming back from this 💩 show. Scopely is completely deaf to players concerns.

[halcyon fiber]

nothing will ever change as long as players still buy packs

[quartz creek]

<@&509691205798592532> If I cannot unlock Epic ATMs until level 39, why are they considered as a basis for my scoring? I need to score 3600pts which means I would have to accomplish 6 rare ATMs. With the current setup, that is impossible because as I complete the two rares I'm eligible for, they are replaced by two uncommons or commons. So then I have to wait for the refresh to occur as there is no way to currently source refresh tokens. So in 24hrs, I could theoretically accomplish 4 rare ATMs for 2400 pts. So I either need a smaller point scale, refresh tokens, or epic ATMs to become available at my level.

[queen kindle]

They aren't, if they were you'd have the same pt req as the 40+ segments, ie. 6k

As to the difficulty of the event, I agree, it's too hard or dependent on luck to get you a good set of ATA. That said, make use of the speedups you're given from today's bp reward and you might have a chance

[pallid pasture]

@wanton copper Why do we have a faction promotion specific SMS the day after a 3 day faction specific promotion SLB? Why do we have borg armada’s in these events with NO source for directives?

Do you do this intentionally or are you that disconnected from the actual game play?

[white bramble]

Copy paste

Everyone gets that

[queen kindle]

It's not considered as basis for your scoring. Your requirements are scaled until you hit 6k pts needed, at level 40, and those players are expected to have epic ATA to do.

[quartz creek]

I've been looking for them, it wasn't until recently that I was informed that there was a research further down the line.

[white bramble]

I mean everyone gets the same event description

Whether you have access to that rarity of ATA or not

[quartz creek]

I get it now. Thanks.

[wanton copper]

This is feedback I'm happy to raise for you Fade. I appreciate you letting me know your thoughts on this

[dense hare]

@wanton copper is there some plan for how players are to get the mission keys for Tread Lightly pt 6-10 to complete the Tread Lightly event? Because there are none in the battlepass rewards.

[queen trout]

Absolutely dog …. Event . Who in their right state of mind would have Borg directives . Swarms armadas are for the big players and eclipse …. Not enough epics spawning . Or are we supposed to spend hours doing uncommon eclipses ?! It’s a game not a 2nd job .

[wanton copper]

Yup there should be more news on this in-game this weekend!

[trail shale]

You're supposed to spend hours on UCs until you decide to spend something else...

"Infuriate your player into spending, create bottlenecks to encourage their spending toward progress or a goal." - Plaque in Scopeleys break room.

[high aurora]

Could we please get the Allegiance daily on the same timer as the other dailies. 🙂

[marble jolt]

Didn't take scopely long to cash in on pattern buffers surprised it's not 100 dollars

[limber furnace]

I'm sure it's been said already, but we need a lot more eclipse armadas for events like this... Or at the very least, vastly improved respawn timers. 😤😡

[halcyon fiber]

whay does the allegiance daily spawn in 4 hours before the daily event reset?

[sinful heart]

Yeah, screwed me over

Didn’t get back to the game after I did it earlier (Scopy has trained me NOT to collect till after noon.)

So I guess I lost a day of it. Doesn’t matter, not like it does me any good anyway. Just annoying

[fickle dirge]

So let's see we LV19 and below players didn't get the Recruitment SMS or the SLB today,

Still missing the Event Completions SMS and ALB even though we can earn the trophies...

@wanton copper seriously WTF?!

[swift rain]

the event picture for BSE armada hunter - sms shows doomsday armadas. they aren't listed

[high aurora]

What I want to know is if it disappears at reset

[torpid saddle]

Can't plan allegiance daily milestone if we don't know when it resets. Is there a reason its not synced with other dailies? I was 2 kills short and didn't finish before it reset.

[craggy urchin]

Were like 3 days into this arc and on top of all the other problems, too much mining

#⚡-mod-announcements message

[white bramble]

We don’t know that’s just how it is right now

[mighty star]

I had done the Allegiance milestone right before the daily reset (as it spawned as usual 2 hours before the reset). Then suddenly with daily reset I had another allegiance milestone with the new definition (F/R/K). So yes they also aligned the timing yesterday

[white bramble]

That’s nice to know

[strong anchor]

Really hoping that nothing at all scoring anything is just lag

[golden kiln]

Maxxed out event isnt working

No points scoring and that was supported. For maxed out event

[blissful zealot]

The back to back away assignment events have used up all my speedups.
Please give players more AT speedups

[indigo oracle]

Point delay again

[young dragon]

No points for hostile hits, come on Scopley

[golden kiln]

Nothing for ticketed events either

Sheesh

[halcyon fiber]

got points in the beginning and then it stopped

[steady veldt]

Why do we have another material spend event just shy of 2 weeks from the last 3 in a row?

[strong anchor]

Some points coming in. Comic Cleanup tallied only 1/5 of my kills

[high aurora]

Threat reduction not scoring points while swarm ticketed event is…..woof

[velvet field]

No points for ticket event gas mining

[wanton summit]

My new events aren't even loading on S65 despite several restarts.

[steady veldt]

Scoring is lagging as per usual.

Just give it 30 days and it will fix the scoring :)

[swift rain]

scoring is lagging S9

[strong anchor]

Everything seemed to come in … it’s about 10-15m lag

[buoyant ember]

Bucket recruit is not scoring nor is battlepass with nao probes

[swift rain]

they wouldn't need to spend so much time on commercials that don't make sense if that game actually worked

[mighty star]

Ticket Events - Just to confirm there are 9 ticket event days in this arc - is this correct? I am asking because the text says 9 - the startup screen for the events says 3.

[knotty bolt]

@wanton copper Events not scoring again today.

[jovial sparrow]

Points are repeatedly not counted, no matter which event. When will scopely get this sorted out.🙈

[white bramble]

Currently looks like lag of 10 mins

[knotty bolt]

That is not acceptable at all. Please contact those who can fix this problem because we as players want a game that works and scores correctly. This issue must be fixed ASAP.

[white bramble]

I as a player want the same but we have had the same thing every day since forever and it never changes :(

[mighty star]

https://kids.kiddle.co/Parallel_computing

[knotty bolt]

Looks like someone got the message and cleaned out the cache because it's scoring now. I will double check though to make sure all of my points are correct and I encourage others to do the same.

[white bramble]

No problem 🖖

[umbral saddle]

Love it when I come here with a question and the last thing written was the answer 😀

[white bramble]

👀😁

[muted verge]

Am I crazy or are all the events costing more and taking longer this arc? I may be crazy and things are harder too. This is at least my 2nd arc at ops 40 so I didn't change.

[white bramble]

Ops 40 is significantly harder than 39 that might be it. Personally for me been same ops for last 4 arcs and no issues

[junior pond]

It's not just you or an ops 40 thing. I've written before that the cost of material SMS events particularly has been all over the map recently. Hanging here at ops 34 right now so I've been watching it here and at 33 before, and the top milestone has been in the mid 50K points, 79K points sometimes, and then a crazy (for a 34) 149K points. And the reward for the top milestone is a handful of shards.

1500 mats at ops 34 is seriously difficult because of the ops caps on the amount of mats given out during events, particularly when several of these milestone events are run with mats in 1 arc. And because they are tied to SMS milestone completions, it's generally a must do to be able to finish events (like the Tendi event that was set up where you had to do 100% or get nothing, even though that scoring ended up slightly messed up).

So with the random payout on a single material refine very much in love with giving out 7 mats, even with the 3* primes and a triple refine twice a day that works out to around 1260 mats in a whole month when you play the averages of some higher than that 7 and those super lucky all commons that still spit out of the refinery. The 79K point milestone would be achievable regularly with these numbers plus events, but when you double that twice a month it gets untenable.

[frozen trellis]

I am confused The recruit pike event.. is it 100 pts for an epic armada or 500 x 100 = 50k pts for an epic armada?

[junior pond]

it should be the multiple. It's always per directive.

[frozen trellis]

Thats what I thought but with scopleys track record lately I was taking it on Face value until I asked

[vagrant topaz]

So they took out the ultra recruit and also increased the uc spend sms requirements🥴

[queen kindle]

Spend SMS usually go up if you upgraded your ops. Did you do that recently?

[tender path]

2nd half of Tread Lightly SMS is missing from the holodeck. Feeling robbed from finishing event.

[vagrant scaffold]

Nope - been 41 for a while. This is the 1st time I've looked at a recruit sms and thought "nope. Not worth it"

[latent brook]

Scopely - do you know how demoralising it is to do a long Strange New Worlds mission chain, get your 800 SNW officer reward tokens, keenly open the chest wondering which SNW officer shards you might get, only to receive three - yes THREE - rare Spock shards? That's Kelvin Spock, in the game since day one, who I maxed years ago, and oh yeah - doesn't even exist in the SNW timeline. Like, what the actual frak is going on? I wasn't even hoping for much, you know? Just a single shard for an any SNW officer would have been fine. Why are there even any non-SNW officer shards in the SNW reward chest? Sheer carelessness? Deliberate insult? Either way it's not a good look. These repeated slaps in the face are why your player base is haemorrhaging.

[vagrant topaz]

Gacha mechanics. Can't let them players get stuff they want too easily. I wish they didn't dilute chests either

[latent brook]

Strategy: drum up positivity for the new arc, good PR for CBS, inject player base with some enthusiasm for something fresh, ask them to invest significant amount of time into exciting new mission with promise of something new at the end, then bam - in one fell swoop turn all of that faith into confused, angry, crushing disappointment - feelings that player now associates with the very thing you're trying to get them enthused about. The times Scopely gets it right are so massively outweighed by moments of incredible irritation like this one. I was looking forward to spending the day doing the other events. Now? I Just. Don't. Care.

[midnight turtle]

spent 200 regular rare directives and was not awarded points in the SLB.. anyone else have that issue?

[muted verge]

@white bramble this isn't my first time in the game nor is it my first arc at 40.

[white bramble]

👍🏻 some of the events were harder this arc but not all of them. The ATA was way harder this time round

[trail shale]

Wouldn't have been soo hard if they didn't excessively spawn common 24hr missions..

I saw more common 24hr ATMs in my list while that event ran, than I ever saw before.

[hollow sundial]

When will the mission key for the Tread Lightly part 6-10 be dropped? Didn't find them anywere in the battle pass rewards. Bug? Oversight?

[white bramble]

Event reset today

[white bramble]

I had 3 rares and loads of uc’s and I still couldn’t finish it

[vagrant topaz]

Got the same 3 👿

[mighty star]

Top rewards this time

pov: you are playing f2p

Where is disappearing act?????

[halcyon walrus]

after daily events...or disappearing

[manic estuary]

yup hiding out

[mighty star]

Here it is. Also very exciting

[hybrid quarry]

So for this iteration of Disappearing Act, our reward is simply the joy of completing the event.

Case in point.

[mighty star]

Did you click Collect?

[manic estuary]

It shows the same as advertised on event page

[warped knoll]

ok, so I'm not the only one with that problem

[mighty star]

the reward you get by buying the broken ring in the store

[steady veldt]

Armada Hunt SLB doesnt have rewards either

[warped knoll]

yep

[white kite]

Seeing the same, no rewards?!?

[quiet surge]

still getting this screen when i go back from a event

[warped knoll]

me too

[quiet surge]

yea

This has also loaded 3 times so far so who knows what the rewards are

[rare silo]

So 65 pts from daily refresh; how many pts from hostile itself?

[steady veldt]

Oh also the no rewards is because they are the disappearing act 😉

[last schooner]

Oh. Well I guess this is out fault really. We shouldn't be expecting these things to work after all.

It comes to something when we can actually start to factor compensation chests into our regular weekly economy

[steady veldt]

We expect Comp chests but half the time they just tell us "oh well, throw more money at us"

I was there happily scanning through....oh excellent, disappearing act, that always pays out gas and I sure do need that right now, let me go cloak!

And this mission is necessary for the event which has an SMS Completionist tied to it

[manic estuary]

Hope they fix this thing quick , I need to pull some more tetryons i the next hr

[high aurora]

The rewards and objectives are cloaked. How thematic and intentional was that!! 😉

[light trout]

The new rule lately is do not start or try to finish any events in the first 3 hours after the reset. More events are breaking lately than ever before, it seems.

[manic estuary]

But this is impossible to wait for and still complete, have to get another pull tomorrow

[dense whale]

Instead of new Designs, new things, we need less annoying and hard events and bug fixes

[vagrant topaz]

I finished it and it pops up all 4 minutes...but without any ..only a empty window

The thousent of bugs in this game are wormholes to the other server ...lol

[rough forge]

I wonder...

From the top of my mind, they fixed displaying the wrong resource type on switching mines only one release ago, and this week I got that error again. Is old code checked in, or was it not fixed at all?

Dear @wanton copper could you ask scopley why all the below events are paying out steel and ore? Don’t get me wrong I do like steel and ore but we all also need trit, gas, dil&crystal

The only event excluding tickets is swarm that pays trit & crystal

[manic estuary]

<@&509691205798592532> No response from above at all on disappearing act?

[iron cape]

How is a lvl 25 player supposed to defeat a 2.1M ship?

Complete nonsense!

[ember cave]

GG Scopley. Set out a level 25 mission no one except whales can complete. What a joke.

[fervent laurel]

It may be completable without being a Whale ^^

Even at ops 25

[iron cape]

ok, how?

[fervent laurel]

Vidar

And a decent crew

[iron cape]

just hit lvl25, don't have the Vidar

[ember cave]

So...whale it. Got it.

[fervent laurel]

Vidar doesnt mean whale

[wanton pewter]

Just because you can't do it, doesn't mean it's not reasonably possible if you know what your doing

[rough forge]

Even OPS20 get that mission, and they need to finish it for this SMS? Or is the Heroic label missing again?

[manic estuary]

rewards up it's par

[fervent laurel]

Would you mind cutting it out? As explained, a Vidar has nothing to do with being a whale or anything 🖖

[ember cave]

I've stated my opinion. Let's leave it at that.

[fossil prairie]

A SMS event should NEVER be something a player cannot complete. There should always be an alternative. How is someone that just hit ops26 complete the disappearing act? Where is the kill a large amount of X as an option? not saying make it 'easy', but 1 hostile/1pt just like heroic swarms would be fair.

[mighty star]

You are saying a vidar from an ops 25 guy can kill a 2M mission hostile?

[fervent laurel]

I guess it could with the right crew

[iron cape]

oh you guess??

[mighty star]

I want to see a screenshot

[fervent laurel]

What else am I supposed to do? I am not at 25 to do the mission 😂

[iron cape]

how about not say anything?

[quasi aurora]

SnW pt 2 breakthrough mission is marked as a lvl 25 mission. There is no way a 2mil enemy is built for lvl 25. MAYBE a P2W lvl 30 but not a lvl 25. They wouldnt have the crew or the power. Heck, im a f2p lvl 33 and I dont have the power or crew for it.

[fervent laurel]

Hmm... not an option. I say something when I want to. And again, with the right crew, it might very well be possible

[mighty star]

doing the Tread Lightly part 6..10 - there the hostiles are 600k - is it possible those two mission chains got mixed up?

[fervent laurel]

Possibly

[quasi aurora]

What crew are you thinking with the vidarand what lvl vidar?

[fervent laurel]

Max vidar, a good kirk spock with good defense stats, maybe an officer like Ro Mudd with good below deck attack

[quasi aurora]

What did you use? I have nothing maxed out because i keep getting screwed on rss when I need it.

[dawn lion]

These notifications are becoming more than a joke now. We need custom notifications. I'm bored of armadas, I don't need a push notification everytime one is started. (one every 30 seconds for 2 days is ridiculous)

[quasi aurora]

Guess ill keep trying then but ive attempted multiple crews and no luck. Im about .5mil below you on power for my saladin.

[digital bane]

Yeah my f2p lvl 27 has no chance of beating this. Heck my 33 barely did with my 1.2 mil B'rel

[mighty star]

Yeah you are right — super easy and i didnt even tune the crew

[fervent laurel]

A max saladin from ops 28 should easily do it. Of course depends where are at with officers and research

[exotic cipher]

AGAIN: Disappearing Act as a 24hr event is impossible. I’m running a legionary, had max tetryons at the start of event. Used all I could, redeemed my daily, still not enough. I’ve got a 30min window tomorrow to redeem again but I’m not seeing 150 points with the 60 tetryons I’ll get tomorrow.

Is my math off or is scopely once again scopelying the f2p sms

[digital bane]

Kill level 25 ships in K'amia regardless of if they are actually Klingon ships because they seem to be the only ones that count

I just finished beating my head against my desk trying to figure out why killing lvl 26 klingon surveys wasn't counting.

[waxen marlin]

No not working

The feedback stand

[digital bane]

Not what the mission says. It quite literally says lvl 25 Klingon ships. The lvl 25 ships in K'amia aren't Klingon

But yes, that is what finished it for me, beating the lvl 25 ships in K'amia

[last thunder]

Then PROVE it is possible. Don't speculate. This game, as with all MMOs, is basically about math. Show us your proof. "Then a miracle happens" is FAIL

[fervent laurel]

I didn't say "it might very well be possible" for no reason. I did not exactly state it is possible

[exotic cipher]

Yeah screw that, buying cloak was an understandable mechanism when it was first released. I thought we fixed this issue months ago.

[waxen marlin]

This mission sucks big time

[last thunder]

Pathetic.

[vagrant topaz]

So everyone in your server to 1 system to kill 1 specific level ship...yeah good thinking Scopely

[past spoke]

Disappearing act is completable

That’s without purchasing tetryons or getting a cloak fitted

[fiery obsidian]

How is the level 25 supposed to beat a 2 million powered patrol ship

[past spoke]

I would wait till tomorrow evening I imagine scopley will fix it

[fiery obsidian]

I can beat it but I'm a level 33 and that's not going to be easy but the 25 not a chance

[fervent laurel]

It's a mistake and was already reported 🖖

[fiery obsidian]

👍

[lethal barn]

Help me do the math then, i have 200 max so saved up that. Then another 65 from chest today. That's 265 meaning 10x cloaking a 26 ship. That's 350 points. Add another 65 for chest tomorrow (if you managed to claim it in time today) and you get 3 more attacks so 105 more points. That's 455 total. Meaning you needed to have saved up at least 50 tetryons above the maximum and claim chest in the 2 hours timeslots twice to complete it

Pretty sure it used to be a 2 day event

[muted granite]

2 day event during a battlepass that awarded extra tetryons

[mental robin]

Unless you already bought them...

[mental robin]

I had 250 saved up to start, pulled 60, and used legionary. STILL FELL SHORT.

[lethal barn]

Yep, you need 360 tetryons minimum. 375 if you only use one ship. That means having 255 saved up and claiming the 60 twice.

[lucid idol]

which joker designed this breakthrough part 1 mission? at this point i just think scopely are actively trying to annoy us

[lost kite]

Having lost my 2 strongest ships in trying to kill a 2m+ Klingon patrol ship, I have had to use the repair speed ups to get them repaired for Eclipse hostiles etc.

Hopefully Scopely will not only figure out how to put right their mathematical 'faux pas', but also give out some repair speed ups for those that shouldn't need to have been used.

As regards this particular Arc. It's been an absolute farce so far. They don't seem to have got it right at all. It can only be because they don't care, as this fiasco has simply been going on for far too long.

[past spoke]

I had around 450 tetryons saved up partly due to the extra given in the bp yesterday. I did claim my daily tetryons half way thru doing the event. I have a cloak on a legionary so only use 25 tets a pop. I don’t do daily tetryon event anymore so I always have saved

[lethal barn]

The BP tetryons are a paid feature though

[runic oriole]

I didn't even try to kill it. Part 1 was doable and doable pretty easily even for me as a newer player. Excited to do part 2 and go "Well nope, that isn't gonna happen" when I see a 2.1 million power ship

[azure canyon]

Well, if you kill that 2.1m ship and get to 4/5 you need to kill 4 level 25 klingon ships. I'm getting no points for any klingon ships at all.

[vapid meteor]

I had more than the max cloaking tokens (from some event and never used). Even with more than max, and the drop from daily gifts, I’m still 20 short of finishing event. How is this supposed to be free to play?

[past spoke]

Ahhh yes just doubled check, yea I get the £19 bp each month 🙈 sorry about that!

[dusty comet]

lmao im trynna wrap my head around the fact that at level 25 im supposed to take down a ship with a power level of over 2 mill

[past spoke]

So yes the math doesn’t add up!!!! 😱 why am I shocked? They always screw up 😒

[hushed crater]

you need to kill them in the system were you landed during the quest. ships in other systems don't count

[manic estuary]

Those aren't klingon

[hushed crater]

When I recall it correctly, it's a mixed system.
Anyway: that's how I completed the quest

[rancid fractal]

No more stupid !@@#$% like this. Pain in the ass, 25's never spawn and only in that system?

[manic estuary]

Hint just assume the rest of the description is bs also😉

[vapid vale]

And the event runs 2 more times this month, so even if you saved and had extra to complete it this time, the next 2 times won't be possible without paying.

[sage sequoia]

you get some from normal battlepass though

[inland goblet]

You really need some Math lessons,
That cloaking event is a joke.

[pure hamlet]

The ones you’re supposed to kill aren’t even “Klingon”. Almost every mission I’ve ever done where you had to kill hostiles you were able to kill that level or higher and in almost any system unless they were the special yellow hostiles.

And yet again you have a whole server worth of people in one system, this time chasing one of three possible levels of spawn. 🤷🏻‍♂️

It’s almost as if whomever did the game design for this arc has never ever played this game or done any work on it previously. 🤦🏻‍♂️

[hushed helm]

24h for cloak event is offensive towards us

[uneven wyvern]

And they are sending the entire server to one system (which isn't even Klingon ships like the mission stares) to kill one third of the ships that spawn there??? Possibly the worst designed mision ever.

[visual anchor]

Not even one third, I think. The level 25 spawns are rare as hen’s teeth.

[toxic sinew]

They count even though they aren’t Klingon.

[floral oracle]

Took 1 hrs to get all 4

On top of everyone also trying

[final pendant]

Yo why is the new breakthrough mission, rated for a level 25 player while having a 2 million power ship to kill?

[weak ocean]

Disappearing act event IS completable, but only with a lower tier ship like Legionary. Enterprise cloak costs to much so can't get as many 10 point kills. Looks like I did mine in 20 kills using legionary and I have 67 cloak juice left.

Simply put event is broken

[rancid fractal]

Just be glad there wasn't a pvp kill event in that system too.

[elfin sentinel]

So, I'm a fairly strong lvl 28. My best ship is just shy of 1M. How on earth am I supposed to complete this?

[final pendant]

I said the same thing. I'm 29 with a 800k ship and can't complete it

[night halo]

Why is the mission still broken?!

It's supposed to be 15 cuz it's for 15 and up and it shouldn't be 2.1 mil

[elfin sentinel]

Recommended level for the Mission set is 25. Yet they put a 2.1M interceptor in there in Part 1?

[pure hamlet]

I was lucky and had a cloak to “claim”, which completed the event for me.

[silk cipher]

Is there a cloaking “prime”? My D3 and legionary take 25 tetryons per cloak. Doing 20 kills is 500 tetryons. If I had that many, this event wouldn’t be an issue.

[vagrant topaz]

Only completable with paid track bp tets. Had 245 tets banked, claimed more when I went below 200, and only got to 420 pts with d3. Even if I got to claim again I'd be at 490. Need 2nd day. Preferably 3 days

[gritty bobcat]

Yeah I had a cloak to claim so I could do it, elsewise it wouldn't have been possible

[weak ocean]

I don’t think there’s a cloaking prime like that. I just had that much in the bank. 25 per cloak as well. So I must have started with 565. And I did claim another 65 afterwards so I only used whatever was in the bank.

I’ve never purchased cloak juice, just daily collecting.

[vagrant topaz]

You also scored for every tet spent

[weak ocean]

Maybe scoring is broken? I don't think it gives you 10 points per kill. Otherwise I would have finished event way faster. I should have got 700 point total, and I got 500.

[vagrant topaz]

I didn't get the 10 points either, I attacked players not hostiles. Not sure if that matters but when I looked at the wording it sounded like it shouldn't

[past beacon]

How many level 25s can complete this?

[uneven wyvern]

None. I think you need a 1.5M L28 ship to have a shot. This quest and the accompanying SNW Mission Pt 2 SMS is clearly not completeable for me. I can pnly hope this is fixed before the event expires in 4 days.

[queen kindle]

No shield at the end there leads me to believe your Spock is too weak. I'd use the promo event now to see if you can get him at least another tier and try again

[spare creek]

Scoring for me wasn't broken just can't be done. 40 points per cloak kill, I got in 400 points. Still short of the 500 by 120 tets

And that means I was overbank to even get there

[uneven wyvern]

I think the real issue is that an OPs 25 player with a great ship for his level had no chance against a hostile 3x his power when the quest says L25.

[past beacon]

He is T5, Commander

[queen kindle]

How much def? and is Kirk just as good?

[tawny hedge]

@queen kindle are you trying to say it's his fault a level 25 mission (which says level 15 when you first look at it in the holodeck prior to purchasing mind you) has an enemy that is 2.1 million power?

Like I don't think this is something that we should be coaching people through...

[queen kindle]

No, I'm trying to beat it with the pieces they have

[vagrant topaz]

I’d try 5 kang khan, but unlikely they’re high rank too

[queen kindle]

He's the only one who's shown a high level of development at 25 here, and it's worth knowing if the mission is "impossible" for a 25

[tawny hedge]

well it's definitely impossible for 15 which is what it says initially

[queen kindle]

I'd go Yuki KS, or a shield-breaking ship first with yuki on it

[vagrant topaz]

Isn’t Yuki’s effect removed after the first battle then?

[queen kindle]

If it strips the shield entirely

[vagrant topaz]

Thats good to know

[uneven wyvern]

It's flat out impossible at 25 also. Perhaps is you had maxxed officers and you did multiple hits with two strong ships, but noone has that at Ops 25. And the Vidar is the strongest ship possible at 25, and his is T9!! And mission boss is still 3x his power! What ship should he be hitting it with second? A maxxed Kumari?

[queen kindle]

Vidar would be 2nd, the first ship has to soften the shields and then die before the shields are entirely depleted

Actually, if they have a kumari, I'd try that solo too, that's a tough ship

Didn't catch it was a fake explorer, but still worth trying

[uneven wyvern]

You are ignoring the actual issue Candle, show us a screenshot of you beating a mission boss 3x your power please.

[queen kindle]

That's not my concern at all, I'm only interested in if it's beatable at 25. I know the mission boss is too hard, that it should be changed, but that's not for me to do that.

[frail bridge]

90% of the guys on my server under 28cant do it and only a few I seen even 30s struggle with this ine

[queen kindle]

I want to know if a maximally positioned player has a chance.

[frail bridge]

Not a single 25has beat in on my server just asked around even have guys watching it

[past beacon]

the Kumari would be fighting uphill in the triangle, though, I have all the ships possible at 25 and all of them maxed, the D'vor too

[queen kindle]

I don't doubt it, t9 Vidar and t5 spock is exceptional. I don't think there'd be more than a handful of players that are in a better spot

Can you try the Kumari? it'd be an interesting test

[past beacon]

I'm still uploading the screenshots you requested, sorry its being slow, what makes my work more impressive is its F2P

[frail bridge]

It was tuff for lots of 30s I'm luck at 32 with a t5 brell

U t8 bortas failed

[uneven wyvern]

I couldn't beat it at 28 with a T6 Legionary.

[past beacon]

here are the requested info

I will try the Kumari, I avoid that ship most of the time as it is not cheap on repairs

[short silo]

if spock is not enough for shield regen, try Bounce (cap), Spock, Kirk

[past beacon]

you mean Bones?

[short silo]

yes

do you have normal madd ?

if yes, can try Kirk ( cap) ,spock, madd

[past beacon]

Mud? yes

[queen kindle]

I like that plan. Ditch the atk officers out of the LD and use DEF/HP only. Kirk Spock Mudd

[short silo]

anyway the only ship being capable to kill bosses twice stronger is enterprise

[frail bridge]

My t8 bortas couldn't do it 1.5 mill so but my 1.8 brell did just fyi

[past beacon]

yeah I'm not holding out much hope, but this'll be my first try at Mudd

[short silo]

i have not much hopes too, that one is hitting quite strong

[past beacon]

Kumari on her way

[short silo]

kumari will last 3 rounds )

[crimson arrow]

Dear Scopely This whole Arc is a joke. Take todays mission SMS (5 parts of breakthrough) as an example
First the holodeck states it’s a level 15 missions it’s not it’s level 25.
The 3rd activity of the first part has you fighting a 2.1 million power Klingon Int. how is this a level 25 activity, a fair % of my alliance can’t beat this part. Our server is only 9 months old so most people have ships in the 900k to 1.2M range.
The 5th activity of first part asks you to beat 4 level 25 Klingons, but that’s not true it’s any level 25 in K’mala.
The rest of the parts of the mission are poorly written rubbish in which you warp sector to sector killing mostly really low level ships, which includes a bounty hunter ship with power lvl 143. Then at one point It tells you that three Breen bounty hunters have dropped out of warp and you think ooh cool fighting some Breen something New , nope it’s just kill three lvl 21-23 Vaaran Marauders. Do you care about the players or Star Trek, hell why not say three Wookie bounty hunters have dropped out of warp or three blokes named Dave for all it matters.

It really does feel like you are just dialling it in and taking everyone’s money for nothing while trying to advertise Strange New Worlds. Which you can’t get atm the moment in UK and Ireland and other large parts of Europe and this Arc isn’t exactly filling me with excitement for it becoming available at the end of June. Report card reads ‘Must do better’ but not sure how you could get worse.

[frail bridge]

They game will be dead do to cost soon with this inflation going on and with the way it's becoming more spend hard or loose

[past beacon]

no, the Vi'dar on my first try did 3 rounds, the Kumari did 1 round with the new crew test

[short silo]

@past beacon forget about it, not possible i m pretty sure

[past beacon]

retrying the Vi'dar, want to see how it compares to the first try

[queen kindle]

There are improvements to be done, but it doesn't look like it's in range

[past beacon]

new crew did less damage, still 3 rounds though

[queen kindle]

And so we wait to see what tomorrow brings

[tawny hedge]

"We've decided to label the SMS with Heroic"

[short silo]

yes just call that mission " heroic" - will do )

[past beacon]

well, here is the thing, I would have gotten here and went "okay, archive for later, no problem", I do it all the time, but the event says do it now, so I couldn't just shrug it off

[queen kindle]

It's the weekend, and the event has more days to it. They probably weren't going to address it til Monday if at all.

[past beacon]

its okay, the events completionist is not worth it like the previous month, full officer unlock

[past beacon]

and just for the record, I did not mind the questions or the tests, I personally would have been curious what a maxed 25 could do too

[uneven wyvern]

I'm not sure that "The event is not completeable, but that's ok because your rewards are terrible" says much good about this month 😆

[past beacon]

agreed

[queen kindle]

I think the best approach is to go a different way. Looking at the fp and damage output of this ship, hitting harder, faster is probably the move. Survive the first round and the 2nd is free.

[past beacon]

probably true, but I'm not sure how much of my dozens of millions of Tritanium and Dilithium this target is worth

[elfin sentinel]

We shouldn't be trying to figure out a solution to a broken problem.

[vagrant topaz]

Now where’s the fun in that. Who doesn’t like a challenge

[torn hatch]

We have a lot of frustrated members as well. One guy sent his Centurion with 6 different crews and finally gave up. It should really be billed as a L30+ mission for part 1. The rest of them are L15+ easily except for going into Augment space needing L18+

[mighty star]

It will make you happy to hear that the mission series marked as level 34+ has only hostiles with 600k power

[torn hatch]

Lol yeah, I've stopped looking at the suggested level. There's no consistency

I had fun taking ss of the 600k realta tho

[mighty star]

For all the <@&509691417686442004> here, it would be interesting for me to know how all the recent additions like USS Cerritos and Below Deck Offis and Cloaking change the power factor towards mission hostiles. My impression is that for players in the higher 40ies the impact is not significant so those features are probably designed for the 3* area primarily?

Soon I have the second 1B lock then I can finally do some missions again 💪

More as in 50% more or ?

[vagrant topaz]

I’ve only unlocked it a week and a half ago, looking forward to playing around with it a bit though

7 to 9 sounds quite significant though

[mighty star]

For the mortals it is a long process

ok. So I should not ignore it then

[vagrant topaz]

Yeah exactly. Let’s say 7 to 9 is one extra to be super conservative on all fronts. That’s 1/7th more. That’s huge

[mighty star]

The last research milestone indicates warp range into deeper space. So that ship is probably important long term

[vagrant topaz]

It will outlast most of us 😂

[fervent laurel]

https://tenor.com/view/who-ping-seal-ping-gif-24789222

[mighty star]

Fiz did

[crude arch]

i'm sorry but... you give me a lvl 25 mission, then expect me to kill a 2.1 MILLION strength ship?!?!?!

[mighty star]

Has been reported a gazillion times. I would expect that Scopely fixes this bug

[crude arch]

ah, ok good. w t f were they thinking...

[mighty star]

your answer is in your sentence - they weren't

[frail onyx]

Disappearing act is a bit difficult when there’s no extra tetryons available. 500/35 = 15 cloaks needed so 375 tetryons in total. Two daily chests is 130 so needed to start at 245 tetryons which is pretty tight.

[gilded vector]

Breakthrough part2 is impossible. Mission ship can’t be attacked

[mighty star]

has also been reported. but not sure whether they will fix that. I never use cloaking and a couple of weeks ago they gave out tetryons somewhere. So, me who never uses cloaking could do the cloaking event 🤣

re: Disappearing

[white bramble]

It’s favoured towards Ops 40+

It’s a good boost for ops 36+ with Cerritos but research will seriously boost ops 40+

[frail onyx]

In the grand scheme of things it isn’t a biggie 🙂 would be a small improvement if they just made the last limit 475 or thereabouts.

[hollow pier]

I've done all of todays missions. A lot of the Hostiles need to be in the same system... The worst one is the 4 25 Klingons.
Although if you're an Ops25 you'll steuge to kill the boss.

[gilded vector]

Yes I killed the hostiles after a lot of patient waiting but in the next part the mission ship is unresponsive.

[gray halo]

Seriously Scopely... a mission chain that requires a lucrative transwarp cell to finish the mission. Oh yeah and the thread lightly mission needs to be finished within 4 days to be able to get the rewards

[pine burrow]

I have been running the next SNW mission and I think there is something weird to it.

It’s supposed to be a lvl25 mission and in the part one you have to kill a 2.1mil ship… and on part 3 a 134 ship!!!

Are you guys sure it’s correct??? @wanton copper

@queen kindle any feedback on that?

[wooden smelt]

I an trying to complete Breakthrough Part 1 mission, and have come to defeating the Klingon ship, how am I supposed to defeat this with a strength of over 2 million when I'm level 28??

[lethal barn]

You don't need a transwarp cell. You selected the wrong system to travel to probably, i didn't have to go there

[wooden smelt]

@ SanctusPunitor same for me mate

[gray halo]

The system where you need to travel to gets randomly picked for this mission

[pine burrow]

I did manage to overcome it since I am 34 and I have a maxed Bortas 1.7 mil

[gray halo]

So I got as lucky to get that system

[wooden smelt]

What a waste of repair time and resources trying to defeat this for the mission!! Please resolve!!!

[inland goblet]

🧠 🧠 🧠
It's for you, Scopely.
Looks like you REALLY need it.

[vagrant topaz]

Breakthrough Pt1 recommend level 25 with a 2mil + hostile? Please fix!!

[vagrant scaffold]

@wanton copper Unlocking a cloak isn't scoring on disappearing act

[autumn wadi]

Even harder if you're working federation and haven't got access to any cloaking ships yet...

[subtle cedar]

I did 6 cloaked attacks and didn't get points for initiating those attacks 😞

Scamley in action 😂

[violet smelt]

i guess it was a typo error wheter it happened at labeling: 25 instead of 35 or at creating that mission target by adding too much numbers: 200k initial indended but some sleepy employee added another zero so it got to 2 mio, either way it slept throw the quality management

sorry but if we all would working like that, we were kicked out soon of our jobs 😛

[vagrant topaz]

Blue ones don’t count.

It needs to be worded better, but hit hostiles.

[subtle cedar]

Thx for info, as usual, shame on scamley

[raw trench]

The 2 mill ship is bad enough on its own, but the bright spark that decided that all lvls need to go to the same system to kill hostiles... This must be a joke right?

[vagrant topaz]

No no.

The joke is everyone needs to go to the same system to kill the rarest spawning hostiles.

It wouldn’t even be a half as bad if it was any hostile in that system 😆

[raw trench]

Did Scopely appoint a new team to plan the events? Because these honestly seem like absolute rookie mistakes, do the people that planned this Arc even play the game? Do they know that even for a lvl 30 player it is virtually impossible to defeat a 2mill target, do they realize what happens when you have over 2000 players trying to enter the same system?

[vagrant topaz]

No, no they do not.

[runic oriole]

Bothers me more that I can't find them having said anything about the 2m ship for what is supposed to be a level 25 mission

[vagrant topaz]

Here is a splendid example of a Lv29 me killing a 2.1M hostile.

[raw trench]

Agreed, nothing to indicate that they are looking into it or how they expected you to get past the 2m ship

[red kiln]

Scopely is completely done deaf and cares nothing about their customers, that is entirely obvious with this arc. Upside is another day or two of this and you won't have trouble hitting in one system, so many are leaving the game it's actually gone from sad to hilarious.

[runic oriole]

I can't even get past the 2m ship so the system is irrelevant to me

That needs to be fixed too

[vagrant topaz]

Here is another example of a Lv28 me killing a 2.1M Augur.

At Ops 25, you cannot kill the 2.1M hostile.

[raw trench]

I ran the same crew, but I went with Klingon as my faction so I have a Bortas, even with excos running for damage and crew boost I cannot get past that and my Bortas is at 1.3mil

[vagrant topaz]

At Ops 28 and beyond, only your choices prevent you from killing a 2.1M hostile.

[vagrant topaz]

Don’t use that crew.

[raw trench]

which crew would you recommend for the Bortas?

[vagrant topaz]

Kirk and Spock at the sides, Kang Captain.

Stack attack/defence blend.

[raw trench]

Let me recall ships and give that a try then

[vagrant topaz]

👍🏻

[vagrant topaz]

@compact scroll you’re on TV!

[raw trench]

No luck

the advantage runs in favour of the hostile

[vagrant topaz]

Just going to have to do what a lot of players will have to now, fail the mission chain because of one obscure hostile kill required to obtain 2* materials

[raw trench]

yup

[austere vigil]

What about an exocomp boost?

[raw trench]

80% battleship boost along with 50% officer defense

[toxic sinew]

You need to hit it twice. The first ship needs to be set up to strip its shields. The hull will regenerate almost immediately, so that doesn't matter. The second ship has to hit quickly before the shields regenerate.

Yuki as captain, with marcus for synergy is a good basis to start the shield stripping crew with.

[vagrant topaz]

Cos all level 25 + players have yuki and marcus at high levels

[vagrant topaz]

Careful with Yuki/Marcus. Strip too much shield and it instantly regenerates too.

Just like all level 25+ players would have known this event was coming and simply chose wrong

[bronze rain]

I don’t even have a mil strength ship yet. There isn’t anyway possible to even do a two ship go at it. And I’m level 31.

[vagrant topaz]

Woah there negative Nelly, Yuki is Captain ability here so can be T1 and Marcus can be T1 as he’s only there for Synergy.

[toxic sinew]

You are after yuki's captain ability, which won't grow with tier, and marcus is for synergy. So it doesn't really matter much that they are going to be low level. I still don't have them at high level at 38.

[vagrant topaz]

No point Marcus being high level as he’s useful against shields and you took all those away already.

[raw trench]

Will my 800k May or 950k Sally be the best for this?

[toxic sinew]

If you look at the picture HarmoniousDeath posted here: #💬-events-feedback message, This is clearly the second ship to hit since the shield is already half gone.

[vagrant topaz]

Mission target isn't a battleship so not sure what that proves

[toxic sinew]

The mayflower will have the battle triangle working for it, but.... I'm not sure.

[toxic sinew]

That I linked the wrong post probably. I meant to link the Sally vs 2.1M mission boss, where the mission boss started at half shields.

This one: #💬-events-feedback message

[vagrant topaz]

The Mayflower will get kicked so hard you won’t be able to find it’s nacelles for weeks.

[raw trench]

Ok...🤣 Sally it is then

[vagrant topaz]

Gorkon, Kerla, Khan on the Saladbin and KSKang on the Bortas in that order and you should be able to double-tap it.

Or maybe the other way around looking at your pic.

[toxic sinew]

Yeah... I went Klingon/Rom. A cent would be a decent choice, but I never played with the May or the pizza cutter.

[vagrant topaz]

Mayflower is trash, but the Saladong is a weapon.

Hopefully we can get you through this.

[raw trench]

No luck

[vagrant topaz]

Grrrrr

Lemme see your below decks officers?

[raw trench]

no below deck skill officers... crew that is there was chosen to max all bonuses to 300%. I took a break from the game for about a year and only just came back. And to be honest this Arc is already reminding me why I left in the first place

[toxic sinew]

You did get it's hull down a bit farther, so we are on the right track.

[austere vigil]

I hit it with a 1 mill sally, 850k mf and an 800k vidar. I’m still trying to find all my teeth it knocked out.

[raw trench]

I am going to wait for a team mate to come on later with his Cerratos (I think) to give me a boost. But I feel that these tests prove that most players under lvl 34 will not be able to get past that hurdle easily

[vagrant topaz]

Yah see, you just need to buy packs

[queen kindle]

If your fight's short, it's not worth using KS. I'd try with a fast damage team

[small narwhal]

A 1.4m sally can beat 2.1m yellows. Didn’t even have a good crew back then

@raw trench is your Spock maxed?

Gorkon’s role there was to get some crits (tried a few times till it clicked)

[vagrant topaz]

He’s dying without shield so no.

[raw trench]

I just went lvl32 so please dont judge me on my ship power, but even so I feel I am slightly higher in power than most players at my lvl... my research obviously has a lot to do now, but I was pretty caught up on lvl31. But from all the images above if you didnt go with the Sally you are effectively up the creek without a paddle

[vagrant topaz]

Cent would probably do it easier than Sally.

[small narwhal]

The bortas does as much or more damage than sally, just has lower shields though so you really need Spock

[safe ether]

Not at all man! I was a bortas main as well! It’s still all doable.

[small narwhal]

Gets the triangle advantage too for this boss

[austere vigil]

Ok I figured it out

[small narwhal]

What tier khan do you have?

[austere vigil]

You gotta use this.

That 100% mission boost on the bottom.

I took three ships without the boost, no joy, I used the boost on the three ships and it worked.

[vagrant topaz]

That boost is from a pack in the shop

[raw trench]

dont have any of those excos... I left the game just as excos came in and only started about 3 weeks ago again, so if I had any of those I already tried using them

My Khan is T1 still, I am a mostly f2p casual player, so I do not have a lot of maxed officers.

[fiery flint]

@wanton copper seriously a 2mil hostile against 3 1mil ships and I still could not get it on top of a 50% officer defence and an 80%explorer exo?

[vagrant topaz]

What crew are you using?

[fiery flint]

Kirk, yuki zhou, gorkon kahn and kerla, and nero kumak and uhura. Got me the closest.

[vagrant topaz]

Yeah, only one of those is a crew.

What ships have you got?

[fiery flint]

Saladin, cent and lego

[vagrant topaz]

Ok, Saladbin, tier? Cent?

[fiery flint]

Both tier 6

[vagrant topaz]

Ok, asking a lot of those but how about…. Kirk (Captain) Spock and Kang on the Cent

And Yuki, Marcus and Khan on the Saladin first to strip it’s shields.

[regal portal]

What ops level do you start getting 4* uncommon?

[vagrant topaz]

Yuki Captain.

[fiery flint]

No kang

[vagrant topaz]

Getting? 39. Refining? 41.

[regal portal]

Refining

[vagrant topaz]

Refining 41.

[fiery flint]

Ok going to try gorkon in place of kang.

[vagrant topaz]

Yeah, or maybe Zhou in place of Kang - and a strong defence stack.

[fiery flint]

Alright trying those crews now

[fiery flint]

No go

[vagrant topaz]

Grrrr.

How close?

[thin void]

The Disappearing Act SMS event is not completable unless you have extra tetryons on hand. The last time this event ran as a 24 hour event, it gave tetryons for each milestone so that you could complete it with a single max set of tetryons (200) plus the daily pull (65). That would be 250 tetryons with a level 26 ship for 10 kills or 350 points. IF you time it perfectly and get 2 daily pulls (130 tetryons), then that's 325 tetryons spent with a level 26 ship for 13 kills, giving you 455 points, still shy of completing the event. In order for this event to be completable, it should give tetryons at each milestone. You need 375 total tetryons with a level 26 ship to score 525 points.

[vagrant topaz]

Has been raised. There were 180 (I think?) tetryons in BP couple of days ago which I saved because I don’t trust the event, which I’ve done now, but it’s low to not include them IMO.

[toxic sinew]

I've been sitting on cloaking for the sarc since the last battlepass event store just in case this event came up again.

[thin void]

Thanks. I didn't even attempt the event because it wasn't completable

[vapid vale]

It seems to be the consensus that because there are tetryons in the battle pass, it's ok because you can complete the event, but this event is scheduled to run 2 more times, and there aren't another 2 batches of 180 tetryons in the battle pass.

[vagrant topaz]

Yep. Hence why it got raised.

It is a lousy event if you’re not chucking tetryons in to the rewards.

[thin void]

I'll refuse to participate as a matter of principle until they put tetryons in the milestones

battlepass tetryons show up at the wrong time and can't be spread across all 3 events

[hushed helm]

For ppl struggling with 2.1m ship after you get this ship. 🤣🤣🤣

[vagrant topaz]

Yup it is the only one at 2 mil power. I'd love to hear what the lvl 25 players are using to kill that ship with

[hushed helm]

Ridiculous devs story writer

[vagrant topaz]

Definitely worth the 3k 2* Ore, because everyone needs it 😄

[vagrant topaz]

Nothing.

There’s absolutely nothing a Lv25 can do against that ship.

Makes sense that it's a level 25 mission then

[iron cape]

We're not, we're waiting for Scopely to fix their stuff

[vagrant topaz]

Or tell us they mean Lv40 🤣

[iron cape]

Has anyone even heard from Scopely on this yet??

[vapid vale]

But isn't it balanced as there is a 143 powered yellow hostile later in the mission 🤪🤪🤪

[vagrant topaz]

But that doesn’t really fit with the next hostiles 😆

[vagrant topaz]

It’s been all of Sunday for our CM.

I’m sure we’ll hear something soon as to the intent of the mission.

[winged roost]

So the fix we can expect is they are gonna change the requirement lvl and we all gonna miss out on the time limited rewards?

[vagrant topaz]

Who knows?

[winged roost]

Fair i dont think a good fortune teller could tell either... Disapointment ARC continues

[vagrant topaz]

Maybe they gonna change the hostile, maybe they gonna autocomplete it, maybe they gonna update the level requirement to 40 and shaft everyone that can’t kill it… we’ll find out soon enough I’m sure.

[winged roost]

Still nothing like motivation that shows the carrot then whack you on the head thinking you might get it. No you HD just Scoppy in general since this arc is out.

[elfin sentinel]

And we would lose the completionist trophy

[white bramble]

You can make it back somewhere else

[elfin sentinel]

That's not the point

[white bramble]

Ignore that link please it’s dodgy

[vapid meteor]

No update on the fact that the event “disappearing act” is impossible to complete?

[clever nest]

It's not meant to complete unless you droppin cash @vapid meteor
