[white bramble]

Clearly it’s not meant for f2p as have other events in the past

[vagrant topaz]

Completed on just the BP.

It’s horrible and shouldn’t be this way, and they don’t get to play the “oops, should be heroic” card again, but it’s not impossible.

Next one will be 🙈

[vapid meteor]

i had over the max tetyrons from a previous event, wasn't possible for me with over max + a daily drop. i'm 20 points short

[vagrant topaz]

There were 180 tetryons two days ago in BP.

[vapid meteor]

in the paid BP

not the free

free got optical diodes, paid got tetryons

[vagrant topaz]

I know, that’s what I said 👍🏻

[opaque geyser]

If an event awards a completionist trophy, then it should be able to be completed reasonably by F2P. Still waiting to hear any word from Scopley on this @wanton copper , since the event ends in 30 minutes. Another very disheartening weekend for F2P.

[hardy knoll]

I finished it by buying cloaking for the D3. I'll never use it (don't even have a D3), but it allowed me to complete the event.

[lusty rock]

WTF kind of event is this, who can this be included in the event completist series, this was with 260 tetryons and its still not completable

[lusty rock]

So that means the event completionist is not ftp, its been the trend all year pushing ftp out of the game.

[vagrant topaz]

We still don’t know how many of the events need to be completed to complete the completionist event.

[lusty rock]

And whos responsibility is it to let us know that,

[vagrant topaz]

Well, last month we did get told. This month not so much.

[thin void]

This is way too many armada events. This is not cool

[vagrant topaz]

Recruit spock event, yet another one to screw f2p with lol. Rare and Epic armadas only, cos everyone's packing loads of those directives right now

[white bramble]

I think the fact we haven’t been told is maybe an indicator there is a lot of room for error the last completionism SMS we got it was very easy to do although idk if it’s similar to this one 🤔

[nova delta]

Reward not received.

[soft agate]

Did anyone else win the avatar then still have it locked

Lol… guess never mind.. you too

[unreal wind]

Scopely really going for an all time low now.. Armada event after armada event and you can’t score unless it is a rare or and epic, even destroying has to be one of those. You guys really know how to annoy your player base. It wouldn’t be so bad if you were even slightly competent at coding the game but you can’t even make the events menus work. So many silly bugs in the game yet you expect people to pay for this rubbish.

[past hearth]

Came first, still waiting for the winnings.

[haughty needle]

This is bad. Really, really bad. Plain and simple.

I really like this game, too. I can now see why many people are quitting.

[hushed helm]

grrrrrrrr again armadas after armadas and again in 24h!!! fdkakdfzkldòj

[craggy urchin]

Same here no rewards for the Pike avatar.

[fallen jasper]

3rd,n no rewards 🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️

[slow tide]

2nd no Rewards, come on scopely get ur shi!t together... and the armada event thing again... thought we already had this talk a few months ago when you lost a decent chunk of players when you did this.

[hybrid notch]

man... no rewards from pike avatar slb... and now at level 33 I need to start 5 rare or 2 epic armadas to win... and have 24 hours to do so

or win 10 epic or 17 rare

[desert nimbus]

please label meta events as heroic

[hushed crater]

it's intented to have a group for it. everyone starts something and you gain more points.
everyone need to only start one epic and one rare (or something like this) and you are done with the event

[slow tide]

I think the words we are all looking for here are, ToneDeaf and Incompetent

[alpine glen]

Does scopley think we all have deep reserves of epic and rare armada credits? Why not have something else to be able to do the Spock event… like alliance helps or speedups used. I’ve tolerated enough tone deafness and incompetence with this game. Clearly we as a player base aren’t being listened to. Congrats scopley… another player leaving the game 😡

[thin void]

They want you to buy armada packs

[pine burrow]

The SNW second mission is undoubtedly wrong, no lvl25 player can beat the 2.1 mil ship in part 1 @wanton copper

[high pine]

Eco has already raised the issue of the 2.1 mil boss

[pine burrow]

Ok didn’t see that sorry

[pseudo pike]

Now breakthrough part 2 has us beating a 748k ship; can any 25 beat that cause I will admit that my ships aren't maxed

[high pine]

NP - it was posted in the other Event channel

[distant bay]

Why does ship xp count the same as officer xp in the Vessel Enhancement SLB? Ship xp is usually worth 8x officer xp. This event is now simply an officer xp event, there's no point in spending ship xp. @wanton copper

[uncut radish]

Having SMS events that can't reasonably be completed (first the cloaking in 24 hours and now the Rare/Epic armadas only) is bad. Even if you can still complete the completionist total can still be done; still feels bad.

[halcyon walrus]

this does not seem right 😄

[queen trout]

@wanton copper there is absolutely zero ore / rafine ore / rare / g3 or g4 in the treasury on my lvl 46.
Why should I spend 90£ for this ?!
Is it done on purpose or is it a mistake ( ore is missing ) ?

[silent zinc]

Dear Scopely,

Do you know how to test things before you release them? Pretty frustrating that you can't manage something as simple as making the points score correctly for the Pike event.

Sincerely,
The STFC player base.

[wraith zephyr]

Dear Scopely:

I'm a level 30 player and my vault contains precisely ZERO 3★ materials (and a handful of 2★ materials). If you want me to buy the unlock key, make it worth opening. 🤷

Sincerely,
A confused commander.

[fossil prairie]

nope, mine is still 2.1m

[fervent laurel]

Breakthrough part 2 has 748k. Part 1 still has 2.1m

[buoyant ember]

How do you "exchange" broken Desealing Rods for a complete desealing rod?

[halcyon walrus]

anyone having the problem of not getting the avatar for top 5?

[fervent laurel]

It's a global problem. No one knows why

[queen kindle]

Lots of people are not getting their avatars. It's being investigated

[white bramble]

Get the 700 points to use the key and the exchange should show up in the gift section

[vagrant topaz]

Eco mentioned there is little room for error in the completionist sms

[white bramble]

Ah cool I missed that

[toxic sinew]

Given the number of armada and/or rss spend events it looks like there will be, I'm guessing that completionist will end up just out of reach for those of us that are currently f2p. I'll try for it, but I'm not hopeful.

[tawny hedge]

wait, we have to contact support to complete the SMS?

[white bramble]

If your low Ops and can’t kill the 2mil hostiles then yes

[tawny hedge]

so basically anyone under ops 30?

99.9% of Server 83?

[white bramble]

If you can’t kill it I would still put a ticket in

[vagrant topaz]

I might be wrong because I can't find it but I'm pretty sure he said it. I'll keep looking cuz he was answering a good nuanced question

[white bramble]

Tbh I remember he said it for Tendi but I must have missed it this time round. I’ll use the search function to find it

[white bramble]

Yep found it he did say that

[vagrant topaz]

Can you post it? I couldn't find it when I skimmed

[white bramble]

It links to the question just didn’t bother loading it

[slow tide]

👏 dont 👏 release 👏 content 👏 that 👏 hasnt 👏 been 👏 tested 👏 in 👏 an 👏 identical 👏 sandbox 👏 at 👏 every 👏 level 👏
game design 101..

[manic estuary]

Let's play a game, what's this about? FFFFFF

[vagrant topaz]

Thanks for finding it. The question is interesting because the answer kind of implies you could skip even the free ticketed events and still get the completionist sms, meaning there would be a lot of wiggle room if you did the free ticketed events. I'm not sure if that is how ecom meant it, just my interpretation

[white bramble]

Tbh I’ve missed a normal sms so I did 3 or 4 extra ticket events

I know what I’m getting myself into so not worried about wasting tickets

[abstract dome]

Armada event with no armadas in the deep space.... funny

[tawny hedge]

RIP support team

[fiery flint]

Took him down to 1/3 of hull

[vagrant topaz]

Ouch

Close then.

If you can try a few times, maybe a stray crit will do it.

[fiery flint]

I have tried 10x and no go. Just seen eco put something out going to see what they are doing.

[queen trout]

4.500 for killing a rare . Yet I get 3000 points . 🤔

[wanton copper]

Going to follow up about this!

[jaunty bone]

Putting the burden of the Mission issue on Customer Support is not a good idea.

[trail shale]

I meant what I said the last time I tagged you. No passing the buck to CS. That's showing us development isn't even capable of fixing their mistakes.

They either own up to it, or they show us just how little they care about their finished product.

[ocean fable]

@wanton copper Will there be a change in rewards for the vessel enhancement event? Cause normally it's either steel+ore or trit+crystal.
And steel+crystal is maybe the worst combination possible 💩

[vagrant topaz]

So how did I end up suddenly with an odd number of points in the Pike event when apparently every hostile I killed gave me 2 points?

[toxic sinew]

I'll give them that customer support provides a built-in mechanism to track the scope of the problem.

[heavy escarp]

You killed an armada

[vagrant topaz]

Nope. Just hostiles in 1 system.

[toxic sinew]

2 points for using pike + 1 point for a hostile kill

[heavy escarp]

No. It's or not and

[toxic sinew]

Weird they are usually and

[vagrant topaz]

I was getting two points for the longest time then suddenly I had an odd number of points which stayed odd after that

[heavy escarp]

Not with that wording. +1 is so non pike holders cam still complete

[summer barn]

At op29, should the lockbox really only give 2* uncommons? And there’s no option to spend broken keys to build a functional Key

[white bramble]

Depends which value loot box you got. Which depends on how much you spend among other things

[toxic sinew]

There 2was a prior event where the toast display only showed one of the point mechanisms, but the total reflected both, could that be the issue? You are getting 3 but only seeing 2 on the notice?

[summer barn]

That might explain it. Well then the lockbox is utter garbage for f2p 😂

[white bramble]

Yes it is

[robust bear]

Is anyone noticing that the Spock event today is not counting the armadas completed? I have completed 5 reg uncommon armadas and score is still zero.

[opal river]

the spock event only counts rare and epic

[robust bear]

Thanks, just saw that….🙈

[echo python]

Lol. Contacted support about the breakaway mission 2.1m ship to destroy. Autobot said to look @ discord. smh

[queen trout]

Mine at 45 doesn’t have ore at all 🤦‍♂️ so don’t worry it can be worse .
I don’t think I’m gonna buy it this month .

[vagrant topaz]

At 44 mine is the same.

It is embarrassingly bad.

But I’ll let @lusty girder share just how bad it can be

He’s napping

You know that’s just gonna make me tag you more?

[tawny hedge]

I feel bad for anyone that is trying to retrieve their lost account or report abusive behavior.

[past fossil]

What are we doing today Brain? Same as every other day Pinky… not being helpful & trolling

Corrected for you

[lusty rock]

Most ppl will miss it, you need over max tetryons twice to finish it and i believe disappearing act happen two more times.That in my opinion far exceeds completionist, that perfectionist!

[white bramble]

Yes I agree

Some of the events have been extreme

[trim gazelle]

https://tenor.com/view/tryem-chef-south-park-try-them-give-it-a-try-gif-21521138

[rancid fractal]

Event that doesn't suck. See how easy it is devs?

[raven lion]

Three armada events in a row?! An armada event that rewards very terrible points for epics and rares? Just advertise the game as “Mortgage your house to win events that have sub par rewards!” Just tear the band aid off and quit pretending that you care about F2P and casual spenders. Just make the game a monthly subscription to play and get it over with so we can quit playing your game so you can kill the game and build a new one to start fleecing people over.

[vapid meteor]

• disappearing act was impossible to complete for free to play players

• these aramada events are ridiculous. Nobody has that many directives

Arc is a disaster

[gaunt torrent]

— Today at 3:36 PM
You were warned in Star Trek Fleet Command. Reason: Inciting boycott.... this is what I got for speaking my mind 🤣

[vagrant topaz]

Then speak your mind without inciting 😜

[gaunt torrent]

Scopely really doesn't like it when the truth about them comes out

[unborn ruin]

😳😱

[keen dawn]

How dare you!

[blissful junco]

I'm also one of those who didn't get rewards. But you are working on it 🙂

[elfin flint]

I’m another one…

[high cliff]

How many level 25's have a 2 mill ship available because this mission requires you go beat a 2 Mill+ ship? Am I the only one that finds that a tad unreasonable for the level?

[patent river]

Nope...ur the only one

[high cliff]

I guess i set myself up for that.

[patent river]

Lolz, feels for u tho

[hardy mural]

I’m lvl 33 and don’t have a 2+mil ship. This is a tad ridiculous if you ask me.

I’m told there’s been tickets put in for it. But until those get fixed it just is suxville, population everyone who is f2p

[slim estuary]

The points are not coming through correctly for the recruit spock armada sms

[queen kindle]

People have won with lesser ships on that mission. That said, the mission has been addressed by Eco already, and for those that cannot complete it, they can contact CS to get past it.
#⚡-mod-announcements message

[strong anchor]

So bc I don’t have rare armada directives, I have to ride along in 17 rare armadas hosted by others. Aside from the WTAF factor, at 15m each, that is over 4 solid hours of armadas with less than 24h to complete
🤷‍♀️

[viral kayak]

Your math is wrong, you have to spend at minimum 5h doing 20 rare armadas because the task if giving you 3k pts instaed of the listed 4,5k ...

[devout trail]

since we're posting, I also have not recieved my pike awards

[tough dune]

Doesn't matter when everyone used their directives yesterday because of other event

[viral kayak]

\👆

[devout trail]

Exchange mada victories (but not directive spends) are counting for score btw, those are at least only 6 min.

Get in a few rare/epics of those and you'll be through it with slightly less teeth pulling

[cedar lily]

Yea this has been ridiculous day. There is no challenge involved just mindless armadas any level. Dissapointing.

[earnest harness]

Anyone else having to go to Yoria-3 for Tread Lightly Part 7, no way of getting the token? My vidar is maxed and it’s impossible to get the required token to finish mission/event.

[white bramble]

It’s being looked into I recommend contacting CS

They can bypass that section for you

[earnest harness]

Ok thanks for the tip

[pliant forum]

Epic exmadas are only giving 4K point instead of the 8k they should for the armadas SLB

[ionic trout]

Didn't get the reward either...

[slow tide]

@wanton copper appreciate the update to the things you mentioned but still feels extremely tone deaf considering today's problems and events.

[vocal ocean]

Seriously scopley- 3 spending sms events? At 39 that is close to 5k uc with a battle pass incoming of only 1800 with the elite battle pass. Seriously lopsided for incoming vs outgoing

[wanton summit]

Only seeing the non-prime bonus. 15 hours to figure this out, guys. I haven't resupplied from the last one, clearly.

[gritty bobcat]

No bonus refinery showing for me yet on 201

[wanton summit]

They took it back down, was only showing for a bit.

[sand flare]

Can scopely just stop doing events until they fix everything they already broke? Seems every event brings more issues now

[timber heath]

Explain how this is a level 25 ship? Attack 963k, Defense 857k, health 283k, damage per round 620k

[high pine]

The current advice is to put in a ticket.

[golden kiln]

Any reason the treasury rewards are particularly horrible this month? Ive bought 2 of em that were very good. This one is bad

Or is it just like everything else this month - a complete mess lol

[queen kindle]

Some months will have more appealing treasuries than others. If there's no value for you, skip it.

[golden kiln]

Ya bout all i can do lol

[junior pond]

It also varies by how much you buy. For me, it's mostly 2* mats at Ops 34, and I get more of them in a 2* refine than the treasury.

So not even worth the $5 starter price.

[fierce sonnet]

Why in the world is the Breakthrough mission hostile over 2 million power when it’s a level 25 mission?

[short zinc]

My 2 cents for the recruit SNW Spock event requiring rare and epic armadas for an SMS is preventing F2P players from winning the event. Especially after the recruit pike event and the armada SLB are all happening at once. I think there should have been scoring for uncommon armadas as well, or maybe some other form of scoring that doesn't involve armadas (destroy hostiles?)

[queen kindle]

If you're incapable of killing it, contact CS and they'll bypass it for you. #👽-how-to-contact-support

[uneven wyvern]

I put in a ticket earlier today, no response yet, Has anyone who submitted a ticket gotten the event completed?

[short silo]

eclipse rares and epics giving points for killing one so its not impossible for f2p but takes some time

[uneven wyvern]

It's only been 11 hours so maybe tomorrow? But you have to admit putting in literally thousands of tickets seem an odd fix.

[short silo]

i bet the second part of spock event gonna be the same as the first one ? )))

[spice owl]

Sent a ticket, also waiting

[vagrant topaz]

Yes

[vagrant topaz]

It’s domination

[short zinc]

Still armadas, still requires directives. This is an event for lvl20+, I'm level 20 so I rely on my alliance being benevolent (which they are) but the last events depleted a ton of directives.

[short silo]

yes, devs obviously pushing the player to buy armada packs...

I kinda disappointed, i thought it will be 3 days event with the same objective every day - kill epic and rare armadas )

[fierce sonnet]

Yah it’s rough with two armada events pretty close to back to back

If it’s a one day uncommons should def count

[cold shoal]

Anyone have treading lightly part 7 route you to a system behind a token? I’m supposed to go to Yoria-3 for the next part, but there is no way I’ll get the transwarp cell I need in time. I reported it.

[queen kindle]

The missions will give you a random system nearby as the next objective, you were unlucky. A CS ticket is the correct route, and you'll have to wait for them to respond.

[foggy blade]

Pretty please, @wanton copper

[open panther]

This event should be labeled heroic, and not part of the main event completionist chain! 24 hours for only REGULAR rare and epic armadas? I know scopely is trying to get us to by the $99 galactic armada pack, but still! To make it worse, there is a separate SLB for any armada so EVERYONE is going for EVERY armada! So now I already know I’ll miss the rewards for this event, and the 3-day Spock event. All I can hope for now is that the overall event completionist event for the month has some wiggle room. I thought you learned your lesson from last month scopely? I guess not!!! SHAME!

All you have to do is open the event to UNCOMMON armadas which we all have directives for! Stop being so $$$ greedy scopely!

[trim gazelle]

Wow, it would have been nice to celebrate my victory on yet another SLB with MY GORRAM PIKE AVATAR. But sadly no, you've completely robbed the achievement of winning the avatar by FAILING TO DELIVER.

[queen kindle]

The missing avatar is a known issue, they're working on it now.
#⚡-mod-announcements message

[trim gazelle]

Yeah, but it's one my straw on the camels back. The dev team had been straight up lying to players this arc.

Since when is an "epic or rare" a Regular Armada???

You say regular, and we modify our gameplay and save directives for the big event, and then you drop this turd on us.

This was a fun game a month ago, why are scopely /Devs wrecking it? @earnest harness.

Are they trying to drive people to diablo by making this suck?

And by treating the players like cash pigs

Extend the Spock event by a day and give everyone 200 directives so they can complete it.

Or ban me, idc anymore

[high pine]

Eclipse Armadas are giving points for winning if that's an option for you.

[trim gazelle]

Not unlocked yet, thanks though

[restive bramble]

#⚡-mod-announcements message
How exactly does one "contact Customer Support and they will assist with this so you can finish the SNW Mission Pt.2 - SMS"?

[high pine]

See the #👽-how-to-contact-support channel - directions are there.

[restive bramble]

Step 4 on the list doesn't exist on the website.

[high pine]

When I go to the Web version, I scroll all the way to the bottom. There's a Contact Us link there. Hope it helps

[restive bramble]

Got it. Thanks

[late tangle]

These 'grand' rewards are far from it... @wanton copper @tropic ibex @earnest harness please make sure Scopely understands this...

[jaunty bone]

No, please don't make them change ANYTHING about the events you see now.

Because I get your precious ship xp event after never having it for 3 years.

Thank you for the change devs, even if it was unintentional. DONT REVERT IT please!

[late tangle]

They're absolute crap... They want us to spend all our uncommon mats to get crap rewards, so we have to buy more packs to spend them on the actual GOOD events... 🤬🤬

[jaunty bone]

Don't do the event then. changes NOTHING for you.

I now get a good event thanks to this change

[late tangle]

It's a crap offering to be considered 'heroic.' this is my point.

[jaunty bone]

It's been that way for 3 years. Don't tank a good change because it hurt your feelings

[late tangle]

How is it good?!?!

[jaunty bone]

Because half of the playerbase gets the ship xp event now when they never had it previously

The can of worms is opened, Scopely, you can't close it

(good change)

[dry shadow]

payout isnt worth what you have to spend to get it, unless you are in dire need of Rare 4* Ore

[jaunty bone]

I'm not saying it is.

If you don't like the rewards don't do it

[dry shadow]

im not

just stating a fact

[jaunty bone]

Yes. its a fact. It's been the same for 3 years you just haven't seen the event before

just like i've never seen the ship xp one

so please don't complain and let everyone enjoy the xp event

[dry shadow]

I can do what I want tvm

[queen kindle]

With more eyes on and complaints about this "heroic" one maybe it'll be improved after all these years. Stifling input can backfire on you

[jaunty bone]

Yes, but what could happen is that the changers get cold feet and revert it

I'd err on the side of caution

[trim gazelle]

This forum is to provide feedback, I find it entirely inappropriate for you to be disagreeing with people's feedback. Are you a scopely employee? The intern responsible for putting together events lately? It seems like there's a lot of scopely employees actively shouting down feedback lately.

[mighty star]

6 day bonus refinery, easy spock arma event, easy pike vs pike (that I did with Picard 😂 ) - So Alpha very happy with you today

[hushed helm]

Does the new daily Ship upgrade event repeat or is only today??

[lost kite]

@Eco
Why is Scopely requiring players who cannot complete the 'broken' Breakthrough Mission to put in a ticket?

The players didn't cause the problem, and have already spent quite enough time trying to get this mess sorted.

Scopely need to start winning back some kudos with your customer base. Right now you've got squat diddly, after so many continual clangers day after day after day.

[vagrant topaz]

Nah I’m with Tiger on this. It’s a nothing event but providing it universally across servers along side the ship XP one, it gives people choice to do it or not.

If it fell right for me, I’d be glad of the kickback.

If it does not, no big deal.

I’ve ignored the officer XP event this morning cos I’ve no desperate need for the output

[distant harness]

Still waiting for devs to fix my part I. I put the ticket in 4 hours before some of my clan mates that already got it rewarded….still waiting

[queen trout]

Why are this even in there ?
Also where is the ore in the lockbox ?!
Not paying 89£ for something like this ….

[undone idol]

This is especially true when the response from customer service is the same BS of we’re looking in to it but so to higher than normal requests it may take a while.

[azure folio]

Best way to saturate the customer service with unnecessary tickets. Make the life easier for your customer service, just solve the issue directly. @wanton copper

[keen dawn]

Yeah. Like FIX THE FRAKKING MISSION

[ornate heron]

Jeeze. I got 9k of each G4 part from it 🤣

The rest don't matter 🤷‍♂️

[queen trout]

Interesting, you’re the same lvl as I am yet different content

[prime hamlet]

Have you pr the other bought things

[queen trout]

Hm ?

[prime hamlet]

If you buy a lot of things I think the rewards improve

[white bramble]

Did they give you the £89.99 or the £45 pack?

[queen trout]

90£ one , never had anything cheaper ever 😂

[queen trout]

I believe I bought enough packs in the past 2 weeks to boost this ( if that is the case ).
Obviously no reply from CS…

[prime hamlet]

That must be it, or you have bought at least one 50$ or 100$ becouse you start you can buy 5 and 20 if you spend 20 you unlock the 50 and if you buy one 50 you get access to the 100$

[queen trout]

Not sure it works like that as I bought a minimum of 10 packs of 89.99£ this month . Just pissed off as I wanted to buy it. Maybe @wanton copper can look into the above ☝️.

[fossil prairie]

@wanton copper This isnt the response I was expecting when you said put in a ticket for the SNW mission

[vagrant topaz]

That’s… that’s exactly the response I’d expect 👀

They’re working through completing it for people.

[vagrant topaz]

I’ve raised this too, treasury doesn’t seem right to me this month.

[lost kite]

@fossil prairie
@Eco
Is anybody at Scopely on the same page? Players are fed up and from what I have seen, looking to quit the game in droves.

Does anybody at Scopely genuinely believe this is an adequate response in the circumstances?

You couldn't make it up....really you couldn't.

[vagrant topaz]

What response?

The one from CS?

Well, what did you expect the reply to say?

[fresh frost]

Looks about right for me, on material amounts, so/so on rss distribution for a crystal focused pack, but somehow just seems like a shorter list of types of stuff included... not sure why?

less things, but the things that are there look to be the right amount

[vagrant topaz]

Mine’s smaller than an interceptor pack (last month was bigger than the base pack)

[fresh frost]

oh, that is odd

yeah, mine is still bigger than the ship pack

which is the closest analog

[queen trout]

Find it quite odd considering that I only bought base packs & battleship packs. So it should be based on ore not crystal . Anyway waiting for eco or cs to reply ( it they ever will ).

[fresh frost]

They are rotating the focus of the pack... this month trit/crystal, last month was steel/ore, month previous was gas/dil - I'd expect gas/dil next month

Amounts are definitely predicated on spend though, with ops as a minor consideration

[vagrant topaz]

Shall we say aside from the last week, my spending hasn’t changed.

As per announcements, contact support who will automatically complete it for you.

Just sent in a ticket.

Kinda crazy on how they think a recommended level 25 minimum should be able to defeat a 2 mill ship.

I still haven’t

[slow tide]

Oh no, ive been moderated for a word that is not a curse word, nor is it "offensive" or belligerent, demeaning ect. @scopely if you want something to moderate im sure we are all in the mood to give you something to moderate.

[runic oriole]

Scopely autocompleted part 1 for me, only for part 2 to include a 747k battle power ship. Is that intentional or is that another ticket?

[vagrant topaz]

I’ll raise this. My understanding was these hostiles were smaller than that, I foolishly paid no attention as I’ve got miners that can smoosh them 😅

[runic oriole]

I wish I had those ships. I'm still a bit away from getting them

[slow tide]

Let me try this again
A bonus refinery does not make up for PAST spend events, or the unbeatable (25) mission that you have to submit a ticket to complete, or the failure to give out rewards for an event or to even acknowledge that it will be dealt with, or multiple back to back spend events and or armada events, or the absolutely "FANtastic" event rewards this arc, or the absolutely "FANtastic" treasury, or incompletable events (for free 2 play) that are core to the entire arc and will keep you from getting an officer that was a "free" officer

The only thing the refinery makes up for is the ratio of required spending of G resources to the amount given out by the battle pass which this month is also "FANtastic"

[runic oriole]

I'm going to put a ticket in either way to see if it can be done before the event ends

[slow tide]

Fight me <@&509691205798592532>

[vagrant topaz]

Uh, they did acknowledge the lack of rewards from the Avatar event and announced it here:

#⚡-mod-announcements message

Other than that, no complaints from me.

[slow tide]

acknowledging something is wrong is not acknowledging that they will actually and immediately do anything about it

[vagrant topaz]

▫️ The SNW Pike Avatar - SLB: We're aware that some of the rewards have not been sent out yet and we're working on resolving it now! When I have an update on these being shipped out I'll let everyone know

• Eco

From that announcement, less than 90 minutes after the event failed to issue rewards.

[slow tide]

I read it before you posted it. giving a standard answer to something "we're working on resolving it now!" and having no updates in 20+ hours is ridiculous
and its also not doing anything about it. Its placating.

[vagrant topaz]

I’m curious then, did you need him to ship you a developer to sit next to you so you can see them working on giving you rewards? 👀

Would you prefer him to ignore it for the 24-48 hours they may need to fix it?

Or perhaps to announce “we’re aware of it, and to be honest we really can’t be bothered and it’s only cosmetics”.

I mean, “we’re working on it and we’ll give you an update when we’re ready to ship” is about all you can ask beyond not borking it, but that ship had sailed.

[slow tide]

No i and many others would prefer to be updated regularly on an issue that should have never been an issue if the the devs actually sandbox tested things properly before introducing them to a game that people individually spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on.

[vagrant topaz]

Yeah, people got angery enough at being updated on the server maintenance when there actually were updates on it.

I can’t imagine “still no update, team are working on it” going down well every couple of hours.

[slow tide]

One thing has nothing to do with the other. Introducing that into this is a fallacy.

[vagrant topaz]

Not really, no.

[slow tide]

yes really

[vagrant topaz]

People complain when they communicate when there’s nothing to add.

[wet scaffold]

I’m sure it’s been said before, but the event requirements for Recruit Spock armada event are too high. I would have been able to complete it if not for the spend event this previous weekend.

[vagrant topaz]

People complain when they communicate when there’s something to add.

People complain when they don’t communicate.

Expectations set; “will let you know when they’re ready to go out”. It’s been one working day.

[slow tide]

Its specifically a StrawMan Fallacy.

[vagrant topaz]

And west coast haven’t even got to morning yet.

Scopely are a global company with offices in various places, but that does not translate to “follow the sun everything”.

If there was no update when Eco checked out last night, I’m sure he’ll have one for us this morning or be looking for one pronto.

[slow tide]

Oh look another fallacy

[vagrant topaz]

Oh look, another one I won’t help 😆

[lost kite]

@vagrant topaz The mission was introduced nearly 48 hours ago, and they were told of the problems soon enough.

For most players here, after all the other Scopely nonsense, that really is more than enough.

[vagrant topaz]

You’re conflating.

The mission, the update specifically was log a ticket. There’s a new issue that’s been raised which is there’s another hostile 🤦🏻‍♂️ but as soon as anyone can get anything new for you they will.

[lost kite]

@vagrant topaz And you aren't helping.

The facts are the facts. End of story

[slow tide]

LMAO their solution is NOT A SOLUTION.
Their "solution" its your problem, submit a ticket, we didnt do anything wrong.

[vagrant topaz]

Don’t go at me, I agree with you.

It doesn’t change the answers though.

I can lie to you and you can have someone new to have aggro with, or I can tell you what you need to do.

[slow tide]

and it doesnt change my original statement one bit, nothing you have said or shown has changed it at all.

Let me try this again
A bonus refinery does not make up for PAST spend events, or the unbeatable (25) mission that you have to submit a ticket to complete, or the failure to give out rewards for an event or to even acknowledge that it will be dealt with, or multiple back to back spend events and or armada events, or the absolutely "FANtastic" event rewards this arc, or the absolutely "FANtastic" treasury, or incompletable events (for free 2 play) that are core to the entire arc and will keep you from getting an officer that was a "free" officer

The only thing the refinery makes up for is the ratio of required spending of G resources to the amount given out by the battle pass which this month is also "FANtastic"

[vagrant topaz]

The event shouldn’t have been broken, but it was. The rewards will arrive when the team push them. We will be informed when that is according to the announcement.

You said, and repeated “or to even acknowledge that it will be dealt with”

That is a lie.

It has been acknowledged in an announcement.

Stop mashing the keyboard in rage, lying when there’s plenty truth to be aggro about and move on 😆

Simple.

[heavy escarp]

Whales had no issue with the events so Scopely doesn't prioritize the fix. It's not that hard to understand. I spend thousands a month and still didn't qualify for a resolution to an event from the 3D chess piece arc. A week after the arc and event store is gone. They awarded me the chess pieces I missed out on. Now I have a bunch more useless items and a "we will pass your feedback along" response.

[vagrant topaz]

That’s just bad.

How much currency was it in the end?

Enough to buy anything useful with or one last go on the Feesha parts pull?

[heavy escarp]

If your account doesn't have 5x "$" next to it, and you don't have access to the whale discord with dev ops, then don't expect a timely resolution

I got 6000 chess pieces.

[vagrant topaz]

Enough to be semi useful then.

[heavy escarp]

With no where to spend anymore.

Yes

[vagrant topaz]

Let me have a word, can promise nothing.

[heavy escarp]

I expect nothing.

[vagrant topaz]

😆

[slow tide]

Again "we're working on resolving it now" is not doing something about it, its placating. they didnt say "we are resolving it" they said and ill break the language down for you "we are taking steps to start resolving it" and here we are almost 23 hours later with no updates, no nothing. I get it you just want to fight me and distract from the issue at hand. which is in it self a fallacy.

[heavy escarp]

Omg stop with this fallacy thing. What do you want, a blow by blow of every code line inspected and checked off as they go down the list to scout bugs off last minute code changes?

[vagrant topaz]

No, it means that there’s evidently no magic wand “fix it” button and someone is working on it. Stop trying to play nuances of language like people are out to get you. The avatar will be with you when someone has sorted whatever needs to be done to get it to you.

[heavy escarp]

They say they're working on it. And that's all you're ever gonna get, until the resolution is found

[toxic sinew]

What you are doing is the equivalent of hassling IT about when something will be done while they are busy trying to fix that thing. If they have to stop to answer every self-important little tyrant to ask it'll never happen. Just chill a bit and give them some time.

[slow tide]

No, i and many others want regular updates to problems THEY caused. in again a game that people individually spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on.

[vagrant topaz]

Cool starry bra about a past life, the duty manager at one of my last places was escorted off the premises after demanding someone technical give her more than “the engineer is working on the issue at the moment and will update us when he knows what’s going on”

[heavy escarp]

I'll repeat, the whales who spend 100s of thousands of dollars in the game didn't have an issue with event in question so your fix is not prioritized

[vagrant topaz]

They did actually 😆

It wasn’t selective, if you won the avatar you didn’t get it.

[toxic sinew]

Nice. Sounds like an excellent boss somewhere in that organization.

[vagrant topaz]

They will also have been told it’s being worked on and will have it when it’s fixed.

[heavy escarp]

Oh this is about an avatar?! I thought it was about the 2m boss for the lvl 25 mission

[slow tide]

I think you are missing the point here, we are talking about the avatar SLB currently not one of the many other mistakes that have been made over the last week since the arc launched.

[heavy escarp]

Eff the avatar. Seriously?

[vagrant topaz]

Yeah, this is the avatar SLB.

[heavy escarp]

Pointless waste of energy and spending.

[vagrant topaz]

Well, it’s his/her to spend energy and money on, and they should have it.

[heavy escarp]

Sure. But it's not slowing or blocking their progress elsewhere in the game

So it should take a backseat to more pressing issues

[vagrant topaz]

But to the extent of getting all wide boy at volunteers pointing out that their statements are not borne of fact and suggesting patience would be a virtue well exercised here… yeah. There’s no need for that.

[heavy escarp]

I.e. why they decided to put a 2m power yellow in a mission recommended for lvl 25 which is tied to an event they can't complete because of poor coding.

[slow tide]

It didnt give out any of the rewards for that event not just the avatar, so it has also messed up the Completionist ALB and SMS

[heavy escarp]

Oh and the final ship in that mission line is 154 power? What a slap in the face.

[vagrant topaz]

13 days. If they haven’t fixed it in half that we’ll be front and centre with the pitchforks ourselves.

[slow tide]

Thats not the point.

[vagrant topaz]

But because less than a business day has passed and you don’t have your avatar? Sheesh. Go see the outside world and enjoy life for an hour.

[heavy escarp]

HD are you one of the community mods too?

[vagrant topaz]

Nah, just an ECOM.

Volunteer to be abused because we try and encourage some rational thought interspersed with sarcastic comments about how to crew and complete missions/events etc.

[slow tide]

They have had other issues in the past with SLB/SMS's that were fixed by sending out a Loot Box to everyone game wide in LESS than 24hours from the issue occuring. and those were lesser issues like the scoring being messed up, or events been incompletable. This is an event that did not pay out for ANYONE.

[vagrant topaz]

Yeah; you see, the bit about sending loot boxes to everyone game wide is probably a bit easier.

[slow tide]

And yet here we are with nothing.

[vagrant topaz]

You are assuming that the mechanism is the same, that there is a button for “oh, the rewards didn’t go out, push the right rewards out to the right people”

[heavy escarp]

Someone doesn't understand coding, or how complicated this game has become since launch.

[vagrant topaz]

They have to package rewards for the right places in the table (you’d be upset if 1-5 all got first place prizes, right?) and get those to the right people.

Get that wrong, no takebacks.

Bunch of angry spenders who wanted an avatar to themselves.

[slow tide]

No, that hasnt been their answer in the past, even for slb/sms they just push a generic reward out to everyone instead of only rewarding those who participated or won

[heavy escarp]

So they can show off their spending

[vagrant topaz]

Bookmarking this.

[white bramble]

Same

[heavy escarp]

That's not true.

[vagrant topaz]

So you don’t want the avatar, you just want a generic compo chest?

I’m confused what you’re asking here.

[toxic sinew]

And with everything that has gone wrong with this arc so far, they are likely in disaster mode-hopefully they are triaging to address more urgent issues than the avatar.

[vagrant topaz]

Maybe I’m being obtuse, but the complexity is almost certainly making sure the right rewards go to the right people. You’re saying fix it fast like the old days of just a generic chest to everyone?

https://tenor.com/view/what-huh-wtf-err-umm-gif-11004622

[heavy escarp]

They don't know what they're saying.

They're being argumentative just for the sake of it. Even though... asked and answered...

[white bramble]

That won’t end well

[slow tide]

I do want the avatar, absolutely, im not saying how they have fixed the event issues in the past is right, because its not. If they want to give out the avatar to everyone, so be it, but the avatar is only part of the problem.
Yall do realize that there is a database that everyones event statuses, stats ect are in right?
And its not actually difficult at all to collate the data to find out who for an event that didnt pay out for anyone, needs to be awarded.

[vagrant topaz]

I’m going out on a limb and saying there are databaseS.

[slow tide]

I was simply using their past behavior in regards to SLB/SMS mess ups to show that they have the capabilities to distribute the rewards in game without CS

[white bramble]

https://tenor.com/view/pretty-much-everyday-lance-geiger-the-history-guy-almost-everyday-every-single-day-gif-19440345

[vagrant topaz]

Yeah, but that’s the scattergun approach.

I have never in my game seen them scattergun a cosmetic auction reward.

[white bramble]

And every time they needed to be accurate they have used CS 🤔

[slow tide]

i completely agree, i hate it when they scattergun fix things, and when that scattergun fix doesnt pay out 1/10th of what the actual event did

[vagrant topaz]

So you’re complaining for complaining’ sake?

The update is and always has been “they’re working on it to make sure people get the rewards”

That means (I believe, from this and other conversations) that the goal is for people to get the rewards they won.

Not just a compo chest and a devalued avatar.

I don’t want an avatar of shame, that I got cos Scopely screwed up.

[slow tide]

no, what are you talking about, i said exactly why i brought something up, to show that they have the built in mechanic to address PART of the greater problem. I also showed that they have the ability to parse who needs to be rewarded with a fair amount of ease, and when you combind these two things its fairly SIMPLE to push the proper rewards to the correct people.

[heavy escarp]

Omg.

[white bramble]

👀

[vagrant topaz]

Yeah, but you’re assuming that getting part a and part b to do their thing together is easy.

[white bramble]

I’ll get the popcorn

[red kiln]

I know I'm jumping in the middle of an ongoing conversation, but this isn't a new issue.

Scopelys quality of product has been decreasing for months now. By that I mean specifically the number of "glitches" have been increasing, the number of flawed events being rolled out has increased (snw seems to have brought it to a boil), the game mechanics are broken in regards to server population and levels and finally there is serious evidence of real lack of any game experience in design (whole server hitting in one system).
As @heavy escarp stated, maybe tounge in cheek, about going over every line of code, but that is exactly what is necessary at this point! As large a task as it may be.
I for one, would much rather see scopely just take the entire event off line, run something like "hostile hunt" for a week with maybe trippled rewards while scopely gets things fixed.
As a customer, scopelys tone deaf attitude and disregard for customer care tells me to never give scopely another penny. As a lifelong ST fan I really hope scopely has the ethical fortitude to make this right. Sadly I feel the final solution will fall somewhere in the middle and disapoint all.

[heavy escarp]

https://tenor.com/view/you-know-nothing-jon-snow-go-t-game-of-thrones-gif-5394714

[vagrant topaz]

Getting points out of a DB; easy.

Issuing rewards to all players, easy.

Getting those points out of a DB, turning those into the correct rewards, turning that into a gift bundle and issuing targeted gift bundles to the right players, with screwups meaning a devalued avatar and angry players?

That sounds like something you maybe get peer reviewed.

[heavy escarp]

Hey Google, can you just quickly send the right rewards out to everyone? K thanks

[vagrant topaz]

And all this, because an avatar won 23 hours ago hasn’t arrived.

[slow tide]

You dont have to put them together, thats literally what humans are for. Human, Run a search in the database for all 1/2/3 place winners of the event across all servers, (database tracks things via our scopely ids so this is simple)
Put those scopely ids into a spreadsheet
Give to the proper people who can push the "gift" box out
Send only to the listed Scopely IDs
They already do this on a 1 on 1 basis through Customer support.
This is a SIMPLE THING.

[white bramble]

Wait we are talking about an avatar??!!! I thought we were talking about claiming our £89.99 treasury loot boxes 😳

[white bramble]

And you can do all this in a matter of hours without upsetting the community?

[vagrant topaz]

And now it needs doing on a much larger scale.

[heavy escarp]

You don't seem to understand how these mobile games work, or how complicated the coding gets when you continually add new things that have to correctly work with existing framework. Scopely does not break down the game for each update. They add patches. Over time patches become clutter and have trouble talking to each other. Hence the need for a reboot amd rework of existing code.

[long frost]

Guys, it’s not just an avatar, for those in top 3 positions it’s the trophies for the alliance

[toxic sinew]

The humans are already occupied with some of the other many issues that have come up over the last... has it really only been ~48 hours since the messed up mission was released?

[vagrant topaz]

That don’t add any value for 13 days.

[vagrant topaz]

Yes because it’s literally the ONLY issue they currently have to dedicate resources to duh

[slow tide]

Its also the amount of RSS dumped into the event, and time and money

[vagrant topaz]

And also the whole point of making sure issuing the rewards don’t screw up.

[white bramble]

13 days left

[white bramble]

Wait!! Weren’t alliances being deleted the massive issue of the day???

[vagrant topaz]

No, dolphins not having an avatar is the issue of the day.

Cos there ain’t no way they’re squealing that they’ve only got 13 days left to get their trophies 😆

[white bramble]

Wait! Maybe the new issue will be the fact some servers went into maintenance today when they had a 3 day warning 👀

[heavy escarp]

Ok had my daily dose if privileged from this avatar convo. Good luck

[long frost]

It’s the human fear of being lost and forgotten 🤣

[toxic sinew]

Basically, the avatar event rewards being missing has 2 consequences. One is cosmetic and the other has no impact for 13 days. This will be a lower priority than deleted alliances, messed up missions, etc.

[vagrant topaz]

You haven’t been. It is an issue I and others have said we are actively monitoring.

[slow tide]

Its not just about the avatar or the trophies. Its about the fact these are issues that you would expect in a brand new game. Not one years old. And its compounded by the misteps of the rest of this arc.

[vagrant topaz]

It is an issue Eco has acknowledged himself, and said people are working on.

The problem here is Drama Llama is lying about it being unacknowledged and ignored when it has been mentioned specifically in #⚡-mod-announcements as being worked on.

This issue is one that has visibility in all the right places.

[slow tide]

eyeroll

[heavy escarp]

People who kno nothing about coding complaining that complex coding isn't being done fast enough

[vagrant topaz]

https://tenor.com/view/drama-llama-gif-7964413

[vagrant topaz]

This game is not years old.

This game and the one four years ago are very different animals.

Today’s is vicuña?

Every time you pull it around with a bunch of new features, you introduce massive change.

Is it acceptable? Hell no.

This level of broken is utterly unacceptable, is being complained about loudly and rightly so.

But don’t be lying saying something isn’t even acknowledged when there’s an announcement specifically stating it 🤣

[slow tide]

Changes that should all have been thoroughly tested in a sandbox at all levels. The amount of bugs and issues this game has is unacceptable with this large of a player base.

[vagrant topaz]

Who’s here arguing against that?

[white bramble]

Steve in the corner

In all seriousness. no one

[vagrant topaz]

You’ve flip flopped around your argument and points because you’re here to mash your keyboard angrily; that’s fine. You got called out for language that you know is against the rules, called a fight with the moderators and have sat trying to declare that an issue isn’t being investigated.

[toxic sinew]

I would argue that yes, the game is years old in the same way that Windows 10 is now years old. They haven't made quite the level of massive change that exists between major Windows versions.

[vagrant topaz]

Seriously, it is. The people here, all of us want this to be better. The issues are not acceptable.

[lyric lily]

Oh the hate this used to get, funny how it's now frequently hated for being here instead of soon.
Shoutout to of ya'll rememberin the SOON

[toxic sinew]

Especially not in version 43.0.1.

[vagrant topaz]

Take a deep breath, go for a walk, kick a kitten or whatever you gotta do, and when you come back I’m sure the nice man Eco will be thinking about getting out of bed and wondering what splendid news he gets to give us today.

[vagrant topaz]

I’m such a noob. That was here when I got here 😞

[kind dirge]

Why is Breakthrough, a level 25 recommended mission giving me a 2.1 million power enemy?

[vagrant topaz]

#⚡-mod-announcements message

[lyric lily]

Last update is #⚡-mod-announcements message

[pallid pasture]

@wanton copper We just did a 2 day SLB armada and spend event and you guys put us right into a ISS Jelly fish armada event / spend event. I see the bonus refinery and thank you for that, as materials goes the refinery is the bottle neck. But what means of being able to run armadas for a third day in a row do we have? I spent many directives taking top 3 in the armada event. Can we please have a cooldown period between a multiday armada event and then a SLB armada event? I cannot afford the $3,000 it will take to win said Jelly fish. It is this type of stuff that makes many of my fellow players disheartened and want to quit the game. The brackets are so skewed you might as well not show me an ops 36 when the ops level 40 is already millions of points ahead (@30 min into the event) They have bigger options to drop materials on than we do by far. For one thing, they have stuff to spend 4* on where as those of us in the mid 30’s do not. This is no way possible for an ops 36. Heck, even if I won I cant build it for 3 more ops levels. This should be for those who have the requirements to build the ship.

[vagrant topaz]

Don’t stress about the Jellyfish.

Had mine 2 months before it got shelved to only come out for Brawl.

[fresh frost]

It was also in the calendar from last week, so if you're planning a run at a jellyfish, you should know to skip the rest of the month...

And you do need to plan for it

[pallid pasture]

Not so much stressed. I dont see the point of putting players into a run off if they cant even build it.

[white bramble]

Make them rush to ops 39

[junior pond]

It's clear they want people to move up, but they sure are not giving any real incentives to do so.

This months big push was centered around a bunch of new research to spend on when resources are already probably the number 1 complaint from players beyond the train of bugs in the game.

[halcyon fiber]

But everyone has the same prerequesites, the spacing of SLBs doesnt really matter, the preparation matters. Jelly Brawl requires months of saving, not just a single one and is not really worth going for.

Just because there is an SLB doesnt mean you should go ham on it

[elfin sentinel]

Or, they could post that they will resolve it in time to complete the event or compensate everyone accordingly. Instead they leave it open-ended and their agent (Eco) actually told us to open a ticket, which only clogs their customer support. Given Scopely's track record of taking weeks to resolve and compensate players, we aren't too keen on an open-ended "we're working on it".

[mellow turtle]

The quickest way to complete this sms without your own tokens is TEN epic armadas (which spawn after a ridiculous long time) in 24 hours while everyone else is trying to do the same. In 3 years I think this is the worst sms there has been. Plus this has a completionist token plus it is part of the Spock event. Honestly you need to compensate and adjust for this because it’s almost impossible and the effect of non completion is too wide ranging

[past spoke]

Why is it when the payout in events is incorrect and adverses the player it takes scopley forever to fix but when the wrong payout is in favour of players they only need 15mins to fix it 💭 🧐

[compact idol]

Sorry Scopely, it’s impossible for a lvl 25 player to finish the current event by killing a 2.5 M battleship! Pls correct.

[past spoke]

Contact cs and they will complete for you

[last tiger]

Jelly is over rated

[light spear]

Scopely Event planners! As player I'm fine with challenging Battlepass, milestones like power, research, level up and killing hostiles. We don't love it, but we do. What I can't leave without this rant is the event that requires to spend all day and night (normal players need to sleep, work, eat, have families...) to earn some "special content". I have to criticize the attitude towards players that is behind this kind of event. Turn is into freaking addicts just to earn a few more bucks for Mr. Greed! I defy what I will name an intrusive action and I must say that I despise by heart the motivation behind. Go waste your own time!

Referring to the same recruit Spock Armadas event as AltaOne by the way. One of 16 events per day...

[unique wolf]

I contacted them... They asked for screenshot, playet i.d...

[vagrant topaz]

Well they gotta know what account belongs to you 😉

[unique wolf]

They to be other than greedy ferengies

[vagrant topaz]

Yes that makes perfect sense in this context.

[foggy socket]

Hoping they do it soon for me. I got a response but it was a 'higher volume' response.

[sturdy moon]

So.... we just NEVER going to receive these rewards?

[keen dawn]

Funny, our small alliance was able to complete it for everyone who wanted to in sufficient time.

It’s called teamwork

[wanton copper]

Just put out a update in #⚡-mod-announcements !

[brazen oak]

Not sure if this is the right spot for this suggestion. But the holodeck missions, it would be nice to know what rewards were available before purchasing them.

[spice owl]

I hope I get a reply soon on my support. :/

[vagrant topaz]

Nope. You can skip one of the upcoming events though like the mats spend event

[keen dawn]

If you completed the event, they weren’t wasted.

[light spear]

Congratulations! But the point is not players who achieved to debase players who say it's unhealthy, compromising, inbalanced planning to have 24 hrs for milestones that contribute to an achievement with consecutive goals and zero slack inside these. 48 hrs I'd be fine for the challenge. Different ways to reach the target as well. 6 pm now often is an attempt to ruin my evenings. 😔

[keen dawn]

Frankly, it wasn’t that hard.

No, that was to provide compensation for the nerfed rewards in todays event
Please try to keep up

[wanton copper]

More than happy to give more context! This event was for today's event not the past Armada event since the rewards were a little off from what was expected/experienced in the past

The Extra trophy can make up for a past event missed OR a future event!

Appreciate the feedback and I'm sorry you feel this way

The intent was to give everyone a bonus trophy for any event they might struggle with

[slender tundra]

when do those that bought the rodinium packages before they were updated get their extra rodinium @wanton copper

[wanton copper]

Don't have an eta, but I know it's actively being worked on

[keen dawn]

EVERYONE gets the extra trophy as a freebie if you complete it.

[slender tundra]

why is there an event for rodinium actively ongoing then? anyone who buys them now has a huge advantage over those that bought them before

[keen dawn]

You want your directives back? Are you willing to give back the armada loot you got from running them?

Didn’t think so

[white bramble]

Could of planned better for the event though?

[keen dawn]

Alliance of 32. AFAIK, all members who wanted to were able to complete the event. Everyone contributed directives as they were able.

Kind of the point of an alliance…..
(And those of us who completed early started armadas for others who still needed points)

[vagrant topaz]

In the nicest way possible, more fool you - armada loot is awesome.

I was angry with myself getting Bev and Geordie the wrong way around the other day and wasting rare loot 🤣

[keen dawn]

So, you lack reading comprehension. Noted.

[vagrant topaz]

It always amazes me that Scopely does something to help the players and peers of those who succeeded through the struggle, and instead of being happy for their peers who now have that chance still of having the Officer, they’re more concerned about their own outlay to get there.

Humanity really is it’s own worst enemy.

[frail onyx]

Yes I’m grumpy about this too. There are more armada events upcoming this month and if I’d been given the option to kill 30 hostiles and save my rare armada directives for them, I would have.

[vagrant topaz]

How many whales you see kicking off that Lv25s are having the mission they “struggled through” autocompleted?

I coulda done without spending 15 minutes trying to make Lv25 hostiles

[keen dawn]

Hey, I’m good with it. Frankly, I didn’t care about the SMS rewards, I just wanted to complete it for the meta. But I’m happy to claim extra with minimal effort.
Kudos to Scopely for putting up a remedy so quickly, and making it count extra. They didn’t have to

[slender tundra]

they kinda did given all the flak they've been getting

imagine they didn't fix it and just left it "broken"

[white bramble]

So your annoyed because of an extra hostile event?

That’s** free**

[frail onyx]

That’s a strange attitude in my opinion. Too many times recently there have been events which a chunk of the player base have whined is too hard and then they just get given the reward anyway.

[keen dawn]

And took like 5 minutes to complete

[vagrant topaz]

And the majority of those instances I support that

[keen dawn]

No, it’s quite obvious you lack reading comprehension or are willfully ignorant, given your misplaced perseverating on your perceived purpose for the extra event

[vagrant topaz]

Too many times in my mid 30s I had to grind for most of an entire day for events because the assumption was you had max Chen

[white bramble]

You never had a choice. Stop thinking you had one. You got a free extra event

[vagrant topaz]

This 👆🏻

[frail onyx]

So many people on my server spent all day doing eclipse armadas because they didn’t have enough normal directives. I think it is completely justified to be upset that those that didn’t bother just get to complete the meta anyway.

[vagrant topaz]

But they also got a bunch of other nice stuff.

As well as the armada loot.

[frail onyx]

The armada loot point is, well pointless! That loot was mine whenever I spent the directives. There’s an alb armada event coming up in a week - I would’ve spent them then.

[vagrant topaz]

Not really, cos there was a bunch of G3 and G4 attached to the event too.

[lethal barn]

So any reason officer xp doesn't count for Spock gain power event? It's listed as spend officer Intel, whatever the hell that means

[vagrant topaz]

And if you’re telling me you’ll pass on it because of the most easily sourced thing in the game - eclipse directives - I’ll call you a liar right here, right now 😆

[frail onyx]

Not everyone had the time to spend several hours trying to find rare/epic eclipse.

[vagrant topaz]

And those people now have a way to complete the event.

[keen dawn]

We did the whole event in like 3 hours total

[vagrant topaz]

Yeah I think “it took me all day” is possibly a touch overdramatic.

I ran one epic (normal) and mooched a bunch of eclipse when I wasn’t on here or so far in Deep Space I think I could see 167’s territory sector.

Should be fine.

[frail onyx]

Maybe different servers had different experiences but finding epic eclipse was very difficult so it was basically rares only

My alliance was running armadas all day for sure.

[fallen jasper]

Any news on the Recuit SNW Pike SLB rewards?

[frail onyx]

Anyway, doesn’t really matter. Stupid giving out extra meta points.

[keen dawn]

Why is it “stupid”? Simply because you don’t like it?

[white bramble]

Free???

[final pendant]

One of the people in my alliance had the whole first mission finished. I sent a message about it like a half hour after he did. We both got the same form email and nothing fixed or changed on my game

[keen dawn]

We had multiple people starting, and sending multiple ships. Others were hunting for armadas. Again, team effort.
Work smarter, not harder

[frail onyx]

If I tell my kids they can have dessert if they eat their vegetables and one does but the other doesn’t, is it reasonable for the one who ate their vegetables to be upset if I just give them both dessert?

[keen dawn]

It’s quite obvious your a worse complainer than I ever thought of being, as well as arrogant.

[vagrant topaz]

Well, yes, but he’s also right on this occasion 😆

[vagrant topaz]

If it’s part of a well balanced meal, it would be rude not to.

[keen dawn]

False analogy. Ten yard penalty, loss of down

[keen dawn]

HEY!

[final pendant]

You two aren't even talking about an event.....

[white bramble]

True!

[keen dawn]

Imagine complaining because you got something /for free/ that you never expected nor had any right to…….

[fresh frost]

It's worse, it's complaining that someone else might have got something easier... Like, idc if someone has an easier life than me, good on them 😅

[devout trail]

Hey @wanton copper any updates on the pike reward fulfilment?

[bleak moat]

DUUUUUUUUUUMMMMMMMMB! Sorry, but just gotta be blunt about this...

[strange bloom]

nothing wrong with that event. if you have a hijacked ship go pvp and if you dont, go kill some hostile. the rewards are pretty good for the effort. they also gave you heaps of time to do it. No reason what so ever to complain about this event

[keen dawn]

I finished it while doing dailies. No big deal

[obsidian badger]

The mission breakthrough is a joke. Supposed to be a level 25 but I'm a level 32 with a Sally 1.3m but still can't kill a 2m klingon so how is a level 25 Supposed to

[queen kindle]

You should be able to beat it with some crewing against yellows. Those without your capabilities will need to contact CS to get a bypass.

[quartz creek]

I was really stoked to do my very first ISS Jellyfish Pursuit today. I checked the requirements. My excitement quickly turned into "F it, why bother." as I saw that 1st place is the only person to get blueprints of any kind and 2nd and 3rd place were the only other two to get anything. Can we explore into partial blueprints for like the top 25? With all my whales, it'll be years before I'll be able to make 1st place.

[queen kindle]

If the source is bad for you, then don't use it. I saw how difficult it would be for me, and I skipped the auction and went for armada chests and the Origin service to get me mine.

Others will be positioned to win, and for them it's a huge load off to know they're done, then and there when they win

[quartz creek]

How do I compete with this? I spent everything I had to build.

[queen kindle]

I tracked the auction over several months to see the kind of scores people were putting up, and the players that are playing/winning. If you don't think you can put up a comparable performance, then the decision is obvious.

[unkempt meadow]

Dumb question but how do I contact CS, is this through Discord?

[queen kindle]

I'd try either the tribbleshoot chatbot or email options in the link here: #👽-how-to-contact-support

[eternal lintel]

The mission is a joke for level 25, yes, but Kirk Spock Lorca on my level 40 Sally knocked that mission boss out and barely scratched my hull. 🤷‍♀️

[night halo]

Why aren't SNW medals of honor being awarded through the events? Some were assigned to an event or two after complaints, and I haven't seen any since. They're not in the battle pass rewards or the elite track. What the heck?!

[fickle dirge]

#⚡-mod-announcements message

Still waiting for this one to come threw for people at LV19 and below, @wanton copper ...

That and all the other SMS, ALS, and Leader Boards that we're getting not getting that could easily be done.... But for some reason we don't.

[unique wolf]

@Eco I have contacted support for part 2 of SNW, i can't beat an almost 800k ship. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!!!

[vagrant topaz]

Please stop spamming this same issue multiple times per hour on multiple channels.

[inland pier]

So, the STNW holodeck mission 2 for lvl 25 still has a 2M hostile ship to deal with and no reply from the support. Has anyone succeeded in destroying that thing with a pair of 1.2M ship or am I the only one struggling ?

[queen kindle]

1.2 should be doable, is one of them a saladin?

[mighty star]

This was a test run. Tomorrow is the real thing 😂

[nova delta]

Still haven’t got my Pike Avatar from event 😦

[vagrant topaz]

It’s been 1 working day give it some time

They have more pressing issues than some delayed avatar

[queen trout]

Can people just stop commenting on other people’s feedback ? If you want to chat you have #🏆-event-chat ….

[vagrant topaz]

No 😂

I assure you sentiment is picked up just fine as it is. Sure in an ideal world people would only post in the “right” channel. But there’s tons of genuine questions, misperceptions, etc as well. It’s just a bit unrealistic to expect that level of discipline from a discord server with 100k members.

With regards to your previous post (where one could wonder where a question about content of a lockbox is “event feedback” ;-)), it was already correctly answered by Zabatiz. The only individual targeting is amount of € not content of the pack

@queen trout

[vagrant topaz]

Lv19 should not be buying anything. Consider it an indirect favour 😅

[queen trout]

You’re argument is that if someone does something wrong , might as well jump in, not trying to sort it out . Nice .
With regards to my previous post, no it wasn’t answered by any of the relevant people or customer service.
For a person that spent over 1.5k this month I think my opinion out matter to scoplay , as people like me keep it alive as a company. They are in the business of making money not entertainment.
And my feedback ( MY feedback) to this event is that I am not going to spend 89.99£ on the pack , so they are losing one customer for this month due to the highlighted “issues” that concern ME.
So don’t try to be smart about it with your little “””” or comments.
I’m out, not going to argue with you or spam.

[vagrant topaz]

What’s your concern with the pack?

[vagrant topaz]

There’s a pack he doesn’t like, and thus wont buy. Big shocker 🤷‍♂️

Which pack? Treasury? I’m currently kicking off about that, if he’s got the same cack pack as me and a couple other players he’s got a fair gripe 😂

That’s why the ask. Even if he isn’t going about it the best way 😅

The gripe was that he needs ore and this month doesn’t contain it

Not even amounts or anything

Oh, yeah, tough.

Rotates. I need ore this month too, if the crystal wasn’t trash in mine I would buy it still.

Kids can go a week without food right?

The said “feedback” was actually a question about the mechanic, which was answered

On an open forum

But apparently open and forum are foreign concepts too

And wants us to educate 100k people about discord etiquette while not applying it himself either 😂

[white bramble]

Yeah given it’s 2 days and about 60-70 hostiles to kill that’s easily done from daily’s

[turbid coyote]

The official response is to send a ticket… been 30+ hours from me and nada. Guess I’ll finish the event one day 🤣

[inland pier]

Same here 😂

[distant steeple]

Response on tickets to CS can be up to 5 days, and has been in the past. Higher ticket volumes have been this long, unfortunately.
This problem has been raised internally and doesn’t need another ticket.

[turbid coyote]

Raising a ticket is literally what they put in the discord announcements to do tho. Generally with a wide scale bug like this in games I don’t bother but when they’ve told us to do it… 🤷‍♀️

[distant steeple]

Tickets are for individual issues, if you had checked around you would have seen that the OP hostile in a 25 mission has been mentioned a good deal and that there was even a game announcement for it in #⚡-mod-announcements

[turbid coyote]

You mean this one where it tells you to submit a ticket if you’re unable to complete it due to level ? That one?

You might want to try actually reading the announcements before lecturing ppl lol.

[distant steeple]

Refer to the first part then, that CS has a backlog due to a large ticket request.

[distant steeple]

If you don’t get a response by day 5 then come back and raise it👍.

[turbid coyote]

Yeah that’s cool, I’m sure FOH teams are used to having BOH mistakes become their problem, but their ticketing system still gives a 24 hour ETA, not 5 days. My problem wasn’t really that it hasn’t been resolved yet, I was expecting delays because it’s a stupid way to resolve the problem that does god knows what to the workload of the lowest paid workers involved here, but please don’t speak condescendingly to people if you haven’t actually read the announcements correctly.

[vagrant topaz]

I think you’re at cross purposes.

HarLiii was saying you don’t need to raise another ticket.

Not saying you didn’t need to raise one at all.

[turbid coyote]

Ok, if that’s the case I withdraw what I said. It’s not how it read initially but obviously in textual communication like this it’s easy to misinterpret.

[frail verge]

Or you can use multi ship attack w/PvP crews and kill the overpowered Hostile like we've been doing for 3 years.

[turbid coyote]

Mate, I’m level 25 and my 3 best ships with their 3 best crews for pvp or anything couldn’t make a dent in the thing. If you’ve been playing for 3 years perhaps you’ve forgotten what power you actually have access to at 25?

[fervent laurel]

Up to 1m

[frail verge]

ok

[fervent laurel]

Maybe even higher

[frail verge]

Sometimes it takes three ships to kill one hostile, but you're right, i don't know how you play or your research levels.

[turbid coyote]

In an individual ship ? Maybe if you’ve parked at 25 for a few months and tiered up your Kumari to the max with a few promoted epics. Otherwise nah. You’re looking at more 400-500 per ship

[fervent laurel]

Vidar at max can go over 1 m

[turbid coyote]

Yeah I don’t disagree that it does take that sometimes, but usually not in a timed event marked lvl 25 🙂

[turbid coyote]

That’s great if the timing worked out for someone get one right on the dot of reaching lvl 25 then 🙂 but for the average player who is 25 right now, probably not.

[winged roost]

Why does the Pakled boss in Swings and Roundabouts part 5 is 1.9mil and is marked lvl 35 while Breakthrough has a 2.1mil and is marked lvl 25? On missions lvl 25 i dont need to look at what im killing. Présentation sour this big time. Marked lvl35 i would not care and Archives it.

The fix..
Open a ticket after a week long of bugs where i opened a ticket almost every couple of days since this ARC started. Doesnt feel like the right people are fixing the issue.

[vagrant topaz]

They go further than that.

[fervent laurel]

Not at ops 25

[white bramble]

It’s been fixed now so the mission shows ops 40

[elfin sentinel]

This is incorrect! The ticket is the only way right now to get the problem solved. Scopely has to go in and manually pass the mission for you in order to progress through. The only way they know to do this for your account is for you to submit a ticket. Turnaround time for me was 3 days. Since the event is over in 2 days, that could be problematic if you haven't already submitted one.

[vagrant topaz]

Not seeing anything incorrect about it.

The announcement refers to raising a ticket.

[elfin sentinel]

And @distant steeple was telling the player to not submit a ticket because they already know about the issue. HarLii is mistaken. The player should submit the ticket.

[vagrant topaz]

No, he was saying not to submit another ticket.

[distant steeple]

Complaining about a ticket not being answered within player requested time schedule. As I mentioned and it has been before by many mods, ticket response can take up to 5 days.
This issue was raised internally and then Eco gave that announcement but also another ticket is not going to help.
If you don’t get a response after 5 days then come back and ask Eco or a mod to escalate the status. It can also be that the ticket may have inadvertently been closed.
I appreciate the call up but please be patient and realise we mods are players too in the same situation.

[elfin sentinel]

If the ticket is still open, a check back can still be made without opening a new ticket. With the event ending in 2 days, I can certainly understand the pressing need to get this resolved. If, in the initial ticket response, Scopely had said they would either resolve it in time to finish the event or compensate accordingly if they couldn't, then people might be a bit more patient with the long response times.

[turbid coyote]

I never once said I would raise another ticket nor that I should. I said I had raised a ticket and it was unanswered 30 hours later. If the ETA is up to 5 days then perhaps their ticketing system should reflect this, not 24 hours. And has been stated, in the meantime, the clock is running down on the event and people don’t know if it will be resolved in time or if they will be recompensed if it doesn’t

[vagrant topaz]

Yeah there’s a lot of us keeping an eye on it; don’t worry.

[elfin sentinel]

Telling players "don't worry" when it comes to Scopely fixing their bugs is like telling an angry girlfriend to "calm down". Please stop.

[vagrant topaz]

Ok, panic like mad, we’re doing absolutely nothing at all.

That’s so much more helpful isn’t it.

[elfin sentinel]

reductio ad absurdum

[winged roost]

Nope still lvl 25. And changing it after the fact is worst then not having access to it in the first place. Show me a cake and not letting me have it is worst if i knew that cakes was for others in the FIRST place. Show me a carrot and hit me with a stick. Not nice.

[white bramble]

It’s Ops 40 in the holodeck

[vagrant topaz]

The very premise of your argument is broken; if people say nothing, players kick off. If people say something, players kick off.

[turbid coyote]

Look, I am in the middle of implementing a ticketing system for cross channel customer service for a few brands and if nothing else this entire experience is showing me what not to do 🤣

[vagrant topaz]

So kindly be aware that we know there are slow tickets, we are aware of it, try not to panic, enjoy your day knowing there are plenty of us here keen to make sure nobody misses out.

[winged roost]

So you need to be ops 40 to claim a suggested lvl 25 missions... Great fix as usual.

[white bramble]

You can get away with it at Ops 28 but otherwise yes Scopley fix 😬

[vagrant topaz]

Didn’t say it was a good fix 😆

[winged roost]

Expection dashed is worst then the new research. Im not as mad with the research since i dont have access to them. If that mission was ops 40 in the first place. I would not mind and be like "p2w stuff" but you show it to me. Makes me think i can do it. Put a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.... But nope no way to get it.

Poor some cereals then find out you have no milk type of anger! Lol

[trail shale]

"Pour cereal then find you have no milk."

Eat it dry or use your tears of adult depression like a real person. 😆 🤣 😂

[winged roost]

Not the point. I would made toast if I knew there wasnt milk in the fridge. I would do something else if i did not invested time into something i got suggested i could do.

[vagrant topaz]

Log a ticket, get it fixed. If it is already with support, people are making sure it’s getting sorted.

[winged roost]

My ticket that i sent before this hasnt been answered yet... Sent 2 about this one... I can tell i get automated message since they switch into french. So from my point of view my fix is just being ignore.

The squeaky wheel gets the oils. Ill make sure my wheel squeaks until i get the oil.

[vagrant topaz]

A reasonable quantity of players have this issue.

The squeaky wheel just gets annoying.

The issue isn’t being ignored, as has been said there’s a few of us chasing to make sure it’s being addressed and one of the questions I have for today is “what happens if it doesn’t all get cleared”

You’re not alone. You’re not ignored 🙏🏻

[winged roost]

Discord is communicating just fine... But im tired of talking to robots when I try to do the fix i got told to do. Im not complaining every minutes. Just need to vent my frustration somewhere. Sorry for being annoying but what else im a suppose to do? Wait and hope is not calming me down tho.

[vagrant topaz]

Do some different events. Time flies when you’re stealing someone’s stuff.

[winged roost]

Nice try. Lol all done. Refreshing miners, since i need to mines all the raws in the universe, waiting on tiering... My option are limited.

[vagrant topaz]

The galaxy is your oyster.

Go forth and create mayhem!

I’m here watching for people still not getting their mission bypassed.

[winged roost]

Mmmhhh i dont want to cause havoc for my alliance. I dont mind a little havoc for Scoppy on the other hand. Reasonnable havoc. Whining in discord type of havoc. Lol ok rant is done. Lets see if in 24h if get and answer for my 3 tickets... Nothing you can do i know and somewhat feel sorry you have to deal with this mission BS.

[high aurora]

I hope the upcoming mining event has more then regular resources that you can mine. It's already a gigantic mess because of the bonus refinery.

[edgy moth]

breakthrough part 1 mission, 2, defeat klingon pat, 2 mil ship, WTF, lvl 25 mission, and a 2 MIL ship?

[fervent laurel]

Message CS and they can skip it for you

[minor summit]

Same for lots of us. I've put in a ticket for it too. Excessive on a timed mission. I'm L28 and my strongest ship is just under 500K. No way can I complete.

[trim gazelle]

I wonder wonder wonder when scopely will deliver my Pike avatar. It feels like its been a week, how time stretches on when you're waiting for your due payment. With interest, I feel like these avatars should come with a full Pike unlock. Compensation is due, and it costs scopely nothing to make this right.

[slow tide]

Oh look another domination style event... how many days in a row is that for separate dom style events scopely?

[spice owl]

Took 2 days, got a reply on the 2 mil enemy, it is fixed for me now. Took awhile but I imagine they have a lot of reports about it. Thanks to support though.

[fickle dirge]

Not asking to buy things. Asking that players at my level don't get left out of having missions that we can actually do.

We didn't get the Spock mission to earn his officer shards and the rss for killing NPCs. We don't have the Doomsday mission that allows you to earn his shards for killing normal NPCs, or teaming up with alliance members to do a Doomsday fight, Don't have the Laboratory SLB even though everything for scoring points can be done, same thing with the Heavy Hitter SLB.

Still don't have the Event Completionist SMS/ALB even though we still earn the FREAKING trophies.

Event planning has gotten worse and worse for new and lower level players. Sadly I'm about the only one that knows about the Discord, at the lower level mark.

[vagrant topaz]

Sorry; you linked (I think?) to the desealing Rod post which threw me. Chuck me a PM with an outline of what the issue is and I’ll try understand, although most of the BP stuff kicks in at Ops 20 which sounds like it’s the issue.

[cunning karma]

Hello. I would like to ask if you can relay to event planning that domination events so close together are very difficult for mid level players. I finished an 8 day research and didn't even cross the first objective. The last few events all required the same things, research, building increases, ship or character xp. It is just too much to have these so close together when the point expectations is are so high. Especially for a bp event, that we pay money to recieve rewards.

[vagrant topaz]

It has been reiterated by the Epic Commanders and Moderators how painful this is.

[tame osprey]

Not only that. And I still have not received my awards for taking second in the pike avatar event.

[fickle dirge]

You think that's bad. Here are the events from yesterday and today that LV19 and lower players didn't get, even though they could be easily done by us.

Vessel Enhancement SLB - Spend ship XP or Officer XP
Recruit Spock Hostiles SMS - Destroy Hostiles (Any level)
Recruit Spock Gain Power SMS - Spend Officer XP, Ship XP, or by completing building upgrades or research.
Recruit Spock Meta - Complete Spock events
Recruit Spock Doomsday SMS - Fight Doomsday NPCs or normal NPC
-I will say this one is harder with Doomsday NPCs being at LV27, but the NPC part is at LV20+. With that said it could have been scaled down for lower players to take out lower NPCs.
Surveyor Extracktion SMS - Go mine resources
Laboratory Expert SLB - Complete Research, Spend Faction Tokens of Officers
Heavy Hitter - Do Crit damage
Event Completionies SMS/ALB - Just to note that we still earn the trophies... For no reason apparently since this isn't given to us.

Sadly we're still treated like a red headed stepchild.

@wanton copper and the support bots, say feedback is being taken... But I think it's just ending u in the bin.

[trim gazelle]

the recruit spock doomsday SMS can be completed by killing L20+ regular hostiles - so it wouldn't even have needed to be scaled to be completable by L15

[vagrant topaz]

@wanton copper still no response to a ticket regarding that lovely 2.1 mil hostile and my brother opened the ticket 2 days ago, with now less than 2 days left on the important event I'm rather concerned that it's just going to get ignored.

[agile zinc]

No avatar yet for me either

[fickle dirge]

Agreed. But some people who rush to just level up, might not have their ship(s) upgraded or research done. So I was taking that into consideration.

[trim gazelle]

I think if people rush and that makes things hard to complete - that's okay and a known trade-off. Scopely has taken it the other way, and limited participation just in case people find it hard

I don't think you can have it both ways - either same events more accessible, or events tailored to level

And, to some extent I get it - they amount of flack that they get (from me, and others) when events are incompletable at a level without cash spent
But, I would like to see the accesible events being more open

[fickle dirge]

Well Scopley are the masters of the "Copy and Paste"... Just saying

[trim gazelle]

I copy and paste in my job too - that's almost praise rather than criticism

I think the bigger issue is that the OPS25 events lock is strange and arbitrary - they are events that would be completable at any level, but are restricted to higher ops because... I don't know why - I would like to know why

[fickle dirge]

Trust me that makes two of us. More so since there's a event lock at LV20 as well

[hardy knoll]

The game has level locks on everything. You want a Saladin, upgrade to 28, you want and Enterprise, upgrade to 34, you want some events and other missions then upgrade. That's the way the game works. I want a Tribune, but I can't get it until ops 50. If you want to stay at a low level, then you just can't have everything. Play your way, but stop complaining about it. If you are staying at a low level, you are choosing to not have the things that are available at higher levels.

[twilit furnace]

I have no clue to kill the 2mio klingon ship for the mission. I tried 8times with a 1mio saladin . I wasted 3 80%exocomps. Nothing helped. Annoing!

[hidden parrot]

Submit a ticket to CS and they will advance your mission past it. I submitted one last night, this morning it was advanced.

[wind prism]

Contact CS via one method here #👽-how-to-contact-support

[twilit furnace]

Tnx

[fickle dirge]

Didn't bring up ship locks once. I'm pointing out the issues where resources and officer shards are being kept locked up.

And as I stated with the events listed above, ALL OF THEM could easily be done by new and lower level players. If you don't like the feedback I'm giving... well you're not part of Scopley so you could skip what I type.

[idle epoch]

Feedback: Event completionist SMS should have 1 more tier reward with ~1200 points to get it.
12 days till end of SMS and many of us are already done with it.

[keen dawn]

What is “mid level “?
I’m ops 35 and I completed both handily, with resources to spare.

[white bramble]

I would say that’s upper level 🤔

Mid level I feel is around 25-32

[keen dawn]

Still, even at Ops 30-32 I would have had no problem.

[white bramble]

I guess it’s subjective and depends on play style and what your server is like etc etc

[keen dawn]

I guess.

[safe ether]

Where’s my pike avatar 😱

[keen dawn]

In the queue.

[tame barn]

Do Scopely Devs bug & playability test their updates and missions or are they just using the force?

Silly me, if they used the force it might actually work at least one in a while by the law of averages alone

[vernal isle]

Nope, they don’t seem to use any sort of sandbox server for testing anything. They just code and fly by the seat of their pants*

[cunning karma]

24 to 35...depending on advancement. In my situation my station is maxed but cant go up ops until research is done, so stuck with only experience and ship experience to level. If used all day before none available today. Can't speed up research if 8 days or longer and you dont even get 50k points for it. No speedups left, can't build nothing to build..stuck

[vernal isle]

*assumptions made that they wear pants and are capable of working the ties, fasteners, or zippers on them.

[deep rapids]

The easiest way to complete these domination events is to spend Officer XP (imho). It's very rare to not have any on hand

[cunning karma]

Agreed but spent it all yesterday for same reason

All of the above effect power increases be it Research, ship or officer xp 4 tasks in 2 days. Even stocking up, this is tough. I am aware it can be done, just ask should it really have to.

I don't know, i just must be missing the magic officer xp fountain

[vagrant topaz]

Ty’Gokor

[cold grotto]

The multipurpose magic system.

[visual citrus]

Have not heard from scopely support in 48 hrs 😂 ticket number is #7788878 if anybody is out there from scopely reading this in this galaxy 😂😂😂

[vagrant topaz]

@wanton copper another ticket

[cold grotto]

Maybe, just maybe having every single person file a ticket for a mission was a bad idea.

[sweet wedge]

filled ticket 4 days ago and every day after hearing no response from scopley

[tawny hedge]

No response on #7782906 for the same

[viral aspen]

same here for #7784582

[final viper]

People are leaving the game do to no customer support.

[autumn wadi]

Support moved me past the 2.1m enemy but the next one is 747k and even with an exocomp, tuned crew, and double-whammying the enemy I still can't get it under 80% hull so I give up. I'd just archive the quest normally but since this is an event prerequisite it's just annoying. Sorry support, it's not you, it's (the lack of) QA.

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Maybe something for management to hear.

[blazing shadow]

I'm in the same boat. I don't understand why a mission is made for an event if you cant complete the mission. Level 23 given a level 25 mission?? how does that make sense

[trim gazelle]

So if the recruit Pike event is coming back in 3 days, and we still don't have our initial set of avatars, are the new people competing in the event going to get them before the first people?

[pure hamlet]

Who thinks of this?

Run an SLB where people will use every bit of officer intel and ship xp they have the the very next day run an arc completion critical battle pass event which is best completed with……officer intel and ship xp. 🤦🏻‍♂️

So now if you’ve used all your intel & xp and are in a position where you can’t build or research a lot then you’re screwed for the daily BP & Heroic BP Overflow events.

[past hearth]

Not sure about anyone else but I've just got my pike avatar rewards come through in the gifts section.

[toxic gust]

Me too, but I’m sure the reward was meant to be 3 items? But I only got the avatar and first place trophy.

[past hearth]

I received the avatar, 1st place and top 3 trophy in mine.

[latent merlin]

Same. Ticket 7788784

[toxic gust]

Weird, I didn’t get the top 3 trophy just the 1st place one. Not even shocked though, at this point my expectations are pretty low lol.

[past hearth]

Weird that the top 3 trophy is missing and worrying that the correction for the mistake is also broken but not the same with everyone. Worrying but not surprising 😂

[queen kindle]

Getting the 1st place one without the top3 one as well seems weird. I'd send in a ticket

[toxic gust]

Yeah it would be more surprising if it had all worked as intended. 😄 I’d send a ticked but I’ve completed the event and got 1080 points in Completionist ALB so it would likely be effort for a trophy I don’t really need.

[patent river]

Got em...same as when they do a ton of armada events...than follow it up again with more. The rewards weren't worth goin xp broke for..

[keen dawn]

Who really cares? It’s an avatar

[foggy socket]

While I appreciate Scopely support manually completing the mission to bypass the 2.1 mil boss. I’m guessing this quest chain is only intended for level 25? Next mob is 770k and I’m just a piddly op21 with a 74k Kehra. Lol. Still, appreciate that they got me past the first quest. 🤣

[queen kindle]

You can contact CS again for another bypass for that mission boss.

[foggy socket]

Oh can I? Well then.

[sweet wedge]

i have contacted them 4 times and no reply not one still waiting and the event is almost over com on some one get on the ball

[bleak moat]

Trying to make hijacked ships relevant for an event is dumb. Make them worth something all the time and they'll be more valuable.

[junior violet]

Easiest fix for Scopely would be to just gift chest the event rewards to everyone. Not sure why they are trying to manually help people by pass it, seems more time than it’s worth.

[trim gazelle]

It doesn't really matter if you value things or not. Your conduct is unacceptable.

[cunning karma]

Thank you for offering assistance instead of criticism

[fickle dirge]

Sadly if you held your breath, you would be bluer then a Smurf.

[fickle dirge]

That's because they want people to buy packs.

[gritty bobcat]

Not a fan of the SNW pack too much rng for me

[blazing shadow]

Rant time. They make us wait for the snw pike frame and placement trophies. And we wait a few days and they correct the issue. Finally when they send it (myself getting first) I get the frame and the first place trophy. I do not however get the trophy for placing in the top three. They do this for every event. You get a total of 210 for first. 150 for first and the 60 for being in top 3. Took them days to send it out and they still can’t get it right??

[cold tusk]

Same. Ticket 7784626

[mighty star]

Reopen the ticket and explain it to them respectfully . Helped me a few times in the past. Only humans on the other side

[neon oasis]

Event not working.

[visual citrus]

@wanton copper still no response on this from scopely support ? Are you all still hanging in there ?

[vagrant topaz]

There have been a number I’ve been informed of that have been progressed, I’m hoping you’ll come up soon. DM me your ticket number if it’s not sorted in 7 hours and I’ll nudge Eco for you.

[toxic gust]

Surely it would be easier and quicker to adjust the hit point values for the two ships in the Breakthrough mission than it is to deal with hundreds or thousands of support tickets? I think I’d be fired if I tried to do my job that way. 🤷‍♂️

[vagrant topaz]

That depends, I guess. Without knowing the effort involved in each it’s speculation.

[keen dawn]

You’ve been eating onions

[toxic gust]

Charging a hit point value can’t possibly take as much effort as fielding thousands of support tickets. But to be fair these are the same people that constantly roll out broken events and updates so it’s maybe best that they don’t get involved lol. 😄

[vagrant topaz]

Assumption. You would think, but it is still an assumption.

[queen kindle]

Relax, no need to insult other players over the things they consider important to them.

[keen dawn]

A valid observation isn’t an insult.

[past spoke]

@wanton copper Can we please have a review of the missions in the arcs?? Breakthrough pt6 to 10 and in all the other arcs are just not fit for a large population of players. I’m an ops 43 player completing missions such as killing ships that don’t even have 200 power getting 2* rewards. The only singular thing that is good is the speed ups but that’s it

[vagrant topaz]

Missions are supposed to be accessible to a large part of the player base, unfortunately in this one they managed to drop a 2.1M and 750k hostile and give the Lv25s a pat on the back to go complete it.

By and large the “level-appropriate” missions are fewer.

[past spoke]

It just sucks, apart from the mission reward they give separately for completing a chain these missions for a lot of us are pointless and just waste of our time. As for the 25’s that was a proper ball drop and exactly highlights the issues we the players have with the game

[vagrant topaz]

Feedback has been given extensively over putting everyone in a Lv24 system to kill Lv25 hostiles 👍🏻

Everyone hated that.

[past spoke]

But it’s not just this arc it’s every month, remember disabling the enterprise? It was a corvellan ship if I remember correctly. A mission for the 40+ players that had a 25m power ship? The list just goes on endless. I really hope after this month scopley buck there ideas up and payout the money required for quality checks. Anyways thanks for the reply back I always appreciate the time people take to answer questions 🍺

[vagrant topaz]

Yeah - there’s a few occasions where ships have not been right for the missions; think the instance you referred to was the Angel in Disguise hiccup? Anyway, yes - loud and clear, mission mistakes that make them unnecessarily arduous are no good for anyone. 🙏🏻

[winged roost]

Good news! I got passed the mission. 72 h. Annoying but i guess keep hoping fellow trekker. Thanks and i hope i dont have to spend to much time here in the futur. 😉

[visual citrus]

Still got no response ticket number is 7788878

[high aurora]

Really Disappointing there is only 1 Para bellum and 1 Jellyfish Brawl this month, among everything else.

[tight pine]

That is so on the players. Because everybody is rushing towards the 25s. Everybody hug a spawning point and kill everything gets it done faster. It just shows that we as a community can’t be asked to do a little bit more and work together.

[vagrant topaz]

Yeah, but it’s still a bit cruel

[tight pine]

Also true. But if I had to choose they can keep that and fix other stuff.

[vagrant scaffold]

Nah - it's a dumb move by the event designer. There's zero chance of thoughtful co-operation with that scale of dogpile.

[tight pine]

At least that goal was obtainable by all players. I killed people ships before when they didn’t kill the lower lvl ships before. Happy to do it again. Having a 2.1M boss for ops 25 is the far bigger mess up.

[vagrant scaffold]

I think the dumpster fire events are much more dangerous for the game than the bigger, longer-term stuff. Whales are leaving mainly because of the continuous gouging of high-level economies, but the fubar events are driving sub-40s away, which will hurt the game way more in the long run.

[vagrant scaffold]

They're both the same issue imo - thoughtless design and no testing

[tight pine]

Mission worked like a charm for me. So testing worked. Was Game Design that messed up.

[tight pine]

People take this game way too serious. If you (and I mean not you personally) don’t like walk away. There are other games out there.

And if the whales leave in bunches ain’t nothing we can do. Game gets shut down and we start something new.

Don’t get me wrong: scopely needs to work on their game design team and quality control. And feedback is necessary to get the message through to scopely. But crying about having to kill 4(!!!!) lvl 25s is just too much considering what’s happened this arc.

[vagrant scaffold]

that wasn't the only faulty event this arc - it's not the one event, it's all of them

[bleak moat]

I could be reading this wrong, but I think a lot of people are passionate about the design and implementation of the game because of the community of gamers and the love for the Star Trek IP.

Sure, there are other games out but I have seen deep bonds formed in this community that are in danger if this game dies. People are probably getting upset because Scopely, on the surface, doesn't seem to care about the community aspect of the game.

[tight pine]

i like that the CCs are able to have a communication line with Scopely and Eco is helping pushing the agenda for the community. But i have been playing for 3 years and lots has changed for the better. I know that this arc is not great. But i like some stuff they implemented (new crew design to have an alternative PvE grinding crew, new research helps with some stuff although it will be expensive). Maybe i should log of from this discord server but i only see complaints (and all the same).

[vagrant topaz]

I agree, the positive impact of everything that’s going on is yet to be seen, but overall there’s a positive trend of people wanting the game to be better, and better content appearing. We’ve just had a lousy month, let’s not lose sight of the positive changes that have been made.

[tight pine]

Treasury is one example: lots of people complain (like clockwork each month) about the content of the lockbox. When they dont realize the huge impact the treasury has on their everyday game.

[white bramble]

Admittedly there have been some bugs with the treasury that have made the loot a lot less than it should be but your right it has changed the game and the fact we can get 2 free a year

[vagrant topaz]

And can I just say Bravo! To the events person scheduling today, three ATA events on the same day, two SMS and one SLB.

All done in a oner collecting my Epic ATAs.

After successive domination-style events, one after the other, no overlap, having “compatible” events at the same time is a godsend.

[tight pine]

i am outraged: i have 5 epics lined up and i need those milestone points higher than they are (lots of sarcasm).

i shouldnt have said that: i failed an ATA with 95% success rate. 😂

[white bramble]

This is good I’m very happy

[vagrant topaz]

In before “all I had to do was collect ATAs and now I’ve got nothing to do”

[vagrant topaz]

Just failed one of those damn :p

[tight pine]

Mine was an uncommon to test the scoring. All 5 epics worked like a charm with one crit.

[vagrant topaz]

Sweet!

Good luck on the SLB if you’re chasing that

[tight pine]

not with ATAs. 5 Epics hit with on crit and i am already 180k points from 1st. Trait XP is the real scoring for the SLB.

but thx anyway.

[vagrant topaz]

Yeah true

Yup

Napped through last event end. Might have a go this time around. Doubt 80k will get me anywhere though

Did land three epic crits though, none exciting 🤣

The ones that pay G4U

(Yes HD NAPPING, I know, I’m old)

And one that pays the purple medals

[quartz creek]

<@&509690795536941056> With all grief you guys get, I just want to say thank you for what you guys do get right and work hard to correct. I would also like to thank you for the really nice Picard Day gift that was sent out. Pass it along please.

[desert nimbus]

great gift chest, thanks!

[night socket]

Thanks for Picard Day gift, very much appreciated

[soft agate]

https://tenor.com/view/nod-yes-agreed-star-trek-kirk-gif-15202097

doenst make the bad good again but it was a very appreciated gesture

[tough flare]

Indeed, great Picard Day gift but I'm still upset for the ISS Jelly Event - I am lvl 36 and top 10 was lvl 44, 43, 41 and I think I have noticed a lvl 39 also....Considering I do not have grade 4* materials, this was a mockery of event, without any chance to win....What was the purpose? @wanton copper

[potent oracle]

you cant build the ship til ops 39 so competing in it right now was pointless for you

everyone who tries to compete for that saves up for months and or years

so dont blame eco

[tough flare]

indeed, but I can get bps for it..

[jaunty bone]

You need at least 3 million points to even bother trying

[potent oracle]

varies by server but yes, you need millions of points

it also runs every month so like, chill out lol

[tough flare]

my point was that I should not be put with lvl 44 and that event matching is not fair..

[meager cave]

Saving your epic loot and get a 3* territory is easier than winning the jelly event 😂

[potent oracle]

its a grade 4 ship and its available to anyone who doesn't have it (who's 36+), you can't really ops bracket it

you have lots of time to save up but that event is mostly pointless

i got mine from armada chests and 3* territory emulsion pulls

[jaunty bone]

Yeah unless you have a plan that you have been saving up for months you won't place

I might not even place when I go up from 35 to 39

I'll try to plan it on a good auction but it's not guaranteed

[tough flare]

this is a long discussion, that event matching is not fair and my point was that nothing is changed and still unfair - it's like that saying "You can be God, but can you??" - here's an event, you can win Jelly bps, but can you?? What is the point is there is no real chance to win?

[potent oracle]

there's a chance to win you just need to plan for it

[jaunty bone]

It's a really old event

it's not a point and shoot one

[vagrant topaz]

It’s a server-wide, 36+ “as long as you don’t have a Jelly” event. The sensible choice is alternative sourcing now; epic armada loot, territory services.

[potent oracle]

but its an outdated event and there are other means to source those blueprints

[jaunty bone]

you gotta plan for months to try or just get the ship in other ways

[potent oracle]

the event is available at ops 36, mostly because i believe that's when you can start getting the bps in epic armada chests

[tough flare]

I know there are other sources for Jelly bps but still..

[potent oracle]

its the same thing on every server

so its nothing unique, if that's the avenue you want to pursue you just need to plan and save and gauge how many points it takes to place in the event

[vagrant topaz]

It’s an auction. Either partake if you think you can win, or don’t, but at 36 unless your server “agrees” winners it’s a foolish game cos you’ll get beaten by someone upgrading a gun on a Lv42 ship.

[tough flare]

Unfortunately, my glass is almost full and I see only visual changes when the real issues are in-game mechanisms (old ones 😁 )

[vagrant topaz]

Which are?

[potent oracle]

i cant see the event anymore but im on an old server so 5 places paid out BPs last i saw

i think some servers its only 1st place

[jaunty bone]

Yeah it depends on server age too

My server goes to 5 places so I'll be happy if I rank

that's 30 BP's for free if I time my push well

[potent oracle]

yeah i was lucky i am in a good alliance so i was able to take advantage of the 3* territory store

5 bps a week + whatever i got from armada chests

[tough flare]

most likely will do the same, use territory or switch to allied alliance that has bps for ISS

[potent oracle]

trust me it will be less painful than trying to save up for the ship

which is pretty lackluster anyway lol

[jaunty bone]

Well you kinda need it for the event it gives and the warp range

[potent oracle]

yeah its worth building and taking to like max T4-5

then you're better off saving for an ops 42 ship to go beyond

but if you're able a t8+warp g3 epic will get you into dark space far enough to grind

i opted to not wait to upgrade my g3 epics because i am on an old server and the g3 epics are outclassed, even maxed, by the majority of the population so id rather spend my time collecting for the next ship after the jelly to remain relevant

[jaunty bone]

I'm waiting till 39 to upgrade my D4 any further

Although I'll be building an Augur soon as well

[potent oracle]

they start to need inordinate amounts of g3 around T4-5 so it just wasn't worth waiting for me, but they are definitely worth getting

[jaunty bone]

Yeah

It's at tier 4 right now just the common mat upgrades

[potent oracle]

i think i need 7k unc ore to do the next tier, then another 9k after

[jaunty bone]

I'll probably take the Augur up the the same level when I build it then decide which one to take further

[potent oracle]

id probably hold off on the d4 until you've upgraded your faction miners a decent amount

[jaunty bone]

Yeah

im not touching it until 39

I need to get my Antares up

[potent oracle]

what ops are you

[jaunty bone]

35

[potent oracle]

just go to 39 as fast as you can and get the better rewards and event payouts

[jaunty bone]

Yes

I am saving up

I don't want to get stuck at 37 lol

[meager cave]

And efficiency researches

[jaunty bone]

My plan is to get to Ops 38 in one push then do all the Defense Platforms and Drydocks at once after

[potent oracle]

just keep in mind the longer you wait, the more stuff you miss out on

rewards get better as you level

[meager cave]

That's what I did, and then they nerfed the def platform points 🤣

[jaunty bone]

Well I need the rss

I physically cant go up now

[potent oracle]

and more efficiency research means those things get cheaper anyway

[jaunty bone]

need about 2.5k more uncommon mats to get there

but this week has been a good infusion of those

I think I should be able to go up after next arc

[potent oracle]

im just saying you get better rewards at 37 vs 35 etc

[jaunty bone]

Yeah but 37 is a hole

[potent oracle]

you unlock efficiency research which makes the push cheaper

stuff like that

[jaunty bone]

Im going to do it in one push for a Jelly auction

to get a bit of the prints

[potent oracle]

ultimately up to you, but imo its not worth it

i haven't mathed it out but i dont think that push will net you a ton of points

[jaunty bone]

My calculations are about 2m points

it depends on the month but that should place me somewhere

I might change my mind if there is an officer I like for an auction

but that's 2 months down the road

[potent oracle]

yeah just keep in mind, say you place 5th or whatever and get 30 bps, all you did was save yourself a couple of weeks worth of emulsion pulls

[jaunty bone]

I shall show you my calculations

[potent oracle]

id personally go for the officer if they're good

[jaunty bone]

this is to ops 38 (no drydocks or platforms)

I just need the mats

[potent oracle]

where are you getting the 2m points from?

[jaunty bone]

I'm getting my research tree ready for the efficiencies when I hit 36 and 38

My full thing up to 39 plus Primes and armadas

[potent oracle]

oh ok because i think its 100 points per 1 g3 unc so that's only about 800kish in points

[jaunty bone]

The Defense and Drydocks are about double the gas and crystal there

and I think there are a few 38 upgrades I didn't add there

[vagrant topaz]

This is highly server dependent

But

[jaunty bone]

Yeah

for mine it varies a bit

[vagrant topaz]

We still routinely end up with 6/7 million

That’s on one of the older servers where hundreds already have the jelly

[jaunty bone]

I'm seeing what the one that just ran for my server is

i'm on an older server as well

[potent oracle]

yeah like my R&D building is 11k UNC g4 gas so if you have someone above ops 39 competing it gets pretty easy to wipe that out in one button

[vagrant topaz]

Everyone’s path is different

But if I could do it again I’d rush to 40 asap, do some catch up, get a 42 ship

[jaunty bone]

Yeah I hear going to 40 is easy

[potent oracle]

yeah i went from 35-39 pretty fast, got my jelly for free, and said screw it and went to 41 because i had the warp range without wasting mats on g3 epics

[vagrant topaz]

Jelly is well positioned but it isnt very good otherwise

Yeah good call

[jaunty bone]

I'll see where it takes me when I go

[potent oracle]

and dont be afraid of not having a g3 income, i do all my g3 mining in lucrative and i still get more or less the same amount of it from events and the battlepass

[jaunty bone]

Yeah

I'm doing okay actually

I feel like my refinery is pretty good

[potent oracle]

so yeah, as far as event feedback goes, jelly auction sucks

lol

[jaunty bone]

my server's most recent auction

I am not SpaceWilding

[potent oracle]

how many spots pay out, 5?

[jaunty bone]

5

[potent oracle]

does 5th actually get bps or just mats?

[jaunty bone]

30 BP's

[potent oracle]

still you're looking at double the amount of points for your best case scenario

[jaunty bone]

Yeah

[potent oracle]

but yeah, what i tell everyone in my alliance, dont sacrifice progression and sit on stuff. Just keep rocketing upwards and get more free stuff out of the game

i see people who haven't moved up ops in 6 months months but are sitting on 10s of billions of resources for no reason, ready to be raided when they forget to shield

[vagrant topaz]

The absolute most efficient strategy is impossible to determine as the economy keeps changing

[vagrant topaz]

But personally I’ve done very well just pushing ops as soon as I reasonably could (considering future dailies and events and such)

[potent oracle]

Yeah you need to make sure you can handle it for sure

[junior pond]

I think with the amount of costly research added, there is benefit to not moving up as fast. Yes, some mats flow better as you move up, but if you move up your glass cannon ships because you don't have the research to back them it will hurt. Now that's as a f2p. A paying player will have a different path most likely with more mat access at lower levels to move up and do that research.

[potent oracle]

There’s a balance and it needs to make sense to move up. I’m just saying don’t sit to upgrade ships because you’re worried about appearing weak when you can move up ops. Get more mats. Do more research and make those ship upgrades cheaper

On my server having a max enterprise means nothing in PVP but I can do all my dailies at 41 easily

So no point in me sitting at say ops 39 working to make my pointless ships stronger

[jaunty bone]

I am not worried about "being weak" at all

I have a max sally and chen that's all I need

[wanton anvil]

Picard day chest is awesome!

[pseudo compass]

@wanton copper Seriously, we REALLY need a Battle Pass Milestone Points Event Calendar!! It is impossible to complete some of them without preparations, like the Away Team event... you need to stock up on finished but uncollected missions. If you don't there is simply no way to finish the Battle Pass and the completion event fully.

The calendar we get is the arc events, but those are not that important!

[vagrant topaz]

I agree, but today shouldn’t have been a surprise as there’s an ATA SMS on concurrently 👀

How are the other events not important? They pay out way more over the month than the battlepass

[pseudo compass]

Not as important for me

Ymmv

[vagrant topaz]

Anyway, just keep a minimum stock of speedups

Problem solved

[small narwhal]

This time trait xp is a very easy way to finish it. Hopefully that continues.

[vagrant topaz]

And that 🙂

[pseudo compass]

Yes, the SMS was quickly done with trait XP, but the BP needs you to have ata speedups, OR plan and have ready-to-serve missions waiting

But I still want a BP MS event calendar!

[white bramble]

The bp was easy I just had 2 rares and 1 crit and that finished it for me

[vagrant topaz]

Doesn’t detract from the need though. I can sympathise 100%.

When the game has managed to get so far into micromanaging resource and making sure you have the stuff you need for each event, a badly timed BP ATA event can really throw things.

[small narwhal]

Trait xp counted for the bp event as well
