[pseudo compass]

Didn't notice that, so the issue with the ATA BP just now is a bit moot then, mea culpa, but the question stands.

[vagrant topaz]

Sort of; it be good to know how much you need to leave in the bank after an SLB because of the proximity of another SMS.

[pseudo compass]

Yes, or where you place your all-in-miner days, when to adjust dailies to account for synergy with events, when to save up officer cards, when to make sure you have lat for speedups or mats purchase, and all kinds of things that makes your gametime more efficient

[small narwhal]

Yeah the calendar would definitely be useful no doubt about that

[regal moat]

If you're able to plan more you'll spend less 😜

[keen dawn]

There’s a list of events and dates on your station billboard. That should be Sufficient

[small narwhal]

That’s not the battlepass calendar

[shut geode]

cannot be completed it

[swift linden]

so... eeehm... where is that Brawl again?

[worthy junco]

yep where are the matrix diode to get the mission?!?

[eager oriole]

Can't start the new mission.

[vapid meteor]

Where do we get the tokens for the new holodeck mission? Pop up says to try the Battlepass but neither free or paid have it. This amount of mistakes is insane

[high aurora]

@wanton copper missing iss jellyfish brawl

[jaunty bone]

also @wanton copper nobody can claim the "Best Left Unturned" mission

[viscid phoenix]

I could, guess you spent all yours on other missions already

[timber osprey]

where the heck is Jellyfish brawl ?

[jaunty bone]

I spent them on the appropriate missions

You probably didn't claim that earlier 40+ mission or a different one

[worthy junco]

Nope. I spent it only on the required missions for the event.

[strong anchor]

Jelly Brawl was on the schedule. Moved? Canceled?

[fervent laurel]

Missing, already getting looked into

[swift linden]

Messed up probably

[viscid phoenix]

Don’t know then, I’ve done all the required missions so far except the break through one, but I still have 50 diodes left after claiming todays mission

[fervent laurel]

There will be one more mission after todays

[mighty star]

Guys 5 days - no stress

[vapid meteor]

JFC more armadas

[unreal perch]

Day 19 at Battlepass and not enough Matrix Diodes? Weird...

[dry shadow]

but they can add new gfx to the win button

[fervent laurel]

ops 34+ didn't get enough for all missions. Already has been forwarded 🖖

[patent river]

They had a decoy in holo deck last week. It got me too. Why is there more than needed to make this happen?

[supple coyote]

how do we get the 50 tokens for the mission?

[fervent laurel]

ops 34+ didn't get enough for all missions. Already has been forwarded 🖖

[supple coyote]

im ops 45 and dont have enough either

[fervent laurel]

That is included in 34+,isnt it?

[dry shadow]

They can add this, but not the events they said they would add.... smh

[soft agate]

Says it is in the battlepass for the mission.. what day cause i cannot find it

[fervent laurel]

ops 34+ didn't get enough for all missions. Already has been forwarded 🖖

[soft agate]

Thank you rogue

I assume will be sent in a chest?

[fervent laurel]

I don't know

[soft agate]

😦

[fervent laurel]

I can only do so much, sorry 😓

[manic estuary]

So you're allowing exchange armadas on many events now but having so many events for them we'll run out of directives for them too! outstanding!!

[lyric lily]

Jellyfish Brawl is now live with added 24hour duration.

[high pine]

Kudos to the team for fixing that so quickly!

[strong anchor]

Some players got the matrix diodes for the new mission. No joy here. Is there an event needed to get them?

[fervent laurel]

ops 34+ didn't get enough diodes for all missions. Already has been forwarded 🖖

[warm crest]

Isn't it always 48?

[lyric lily]

No generally 24

[vagrant topaz]

They updated it… now it’s one run at 48h instead of two 24h 😩

Been that way couple months now

[snow warren]

Nice trap Scopely

[fervent laurel]

The gift for Holodeck has been launched now 🖖
Please check your gift sections

[scenic flint]

Is it just me or have the events rolled out without issue today?

[fervent laurel]

yes, they have. Some of them at least

[scenic flint]

Ok, I just got lucky then. But still a big improvement from before.

[jagged cypress]

I wanted to say I really like this, however, I do notice one thing.. its on the wrong layer. But the indication of what event is completed is very nice

[indigo moth]

We need more Eclipse room. Finding armadas is a joke… 🙄

[wanton copper]

Which server are you on Omicron?

[supple coyote]

they could just add some to the 3 eclipse systems that currently have none in them

[vagrant topaz]

All sorted now.

[supple coyote]

@wanton copper can ye add muddmadas in these three systems also a few more lvl 38 and 40s would be nice

[safe cloud]

These armada events are just a huge pain in the a... and I mean all of them! We need more armada systems!

[high aurora]

It popped in a few hours ago. Server 8

[wanton copper]

Ok glad it's resolved now. Sorry about that

[wanton copper]

More than happy to give the feedback!

[high aurora]

I was busy with Eclipse Armadas during lunch. so it's all good. Just did dailies instead of brawl in between 😉

On the positive side, everything that did launch scored properly out of the gate, so that was good.

[austere vigil]

Don’t you just love how it’s not even cropped to fit the borders of the winner icon? Epic fail. 🤣

[vagrant topaz]

Myself and @iron python would be very grateful of more Eclipse armadas

TBH they could do with going past 40, but maybe adjust the 45 to be a 50 and put some in the middle; I can solo 40s and there’s 16 Ops levels beyond me of research available.

[high aurora]

100%. Adding some 40+ plus exchange systems with hostiles would be great as well. Same thing with higher level swarm systems 😉

[patent river]

For realz...there's space up north to make some more armada and hostile fighter zones

Don't get me started on the system with like one armada...

[dark mountain]

Please reduce the respawn times of the (eclipse) Armadas. It's horrible to find and start rare Armadas on lower levels

[foggy socket]

Hey all. Sorry if this has been asked. Anyone else not getting credit for defeating armada's in the Hostile Hunt - BP event? Put a ticket in with support already but curious.

It's messing with my plan of having my alliance-mates carry me to victory as that armada would've completed the event for me. lol

[high aurora]

Got zero points for the BP daily for 12 armadas. I typically just grind hostiles.

[foggy socket]

Yeah. I'll start grinding when I get home from work. It lists armada's as giving points so figured why not.

[high aurora]

Technically is says Eclipse ships for the BP dialy

[foggy socket]

Mine is Hostile Hunt - BP Event

[high aurora]

Ah, mine is Clear the Coast

[foggy socket]

Ha. Yeah, I'm just a piddly OP21 😄

[left steeple]

I really need help. We have had 2/3 Armada events this month with only Eclipse, Borg and Worms. I cannot source Worms or Borg directives and they payout nothing very valuable. With just uncommon directives, it requires 25! Armadas. Last week I killed 1 and only 1 level 49 freighter and finished 3 events. This is an example of not balancing time in game. With normal life, along with uncommon/rares/and one epic it took 4 hours to complete. Three different killing hostile events finished with one kill that took 15 minutes round trip. With this discrepancy in game time, I question event designer and the lack of understanding that Armadas take significantly more time thank hostile swatting events. Please please fix this. Remember: flying and killing(aka grinding) is much better than hours of searching and waiting for timers

[topaz tinsel]

@wanton copper come on man, please increase the exchange armada respawning rate it is stupidly low.

[glad oasis]

Weres the lat for jelly brawl

[covert jewel]

Jelly Brawl does not give lat. Para Bellum does.

[regal moat]

Be careful of what you wish for... They'll probably make sure you won't be able to finish 3 events with one 49 trader next time. How's that for balancing?

[vagrant topaz]

A good alliance will carry people that have trouble finishing themselves (due to level at least). So hopefully they’ll let you join some rares and/or epics. With a lower powered ship, pike moreau gaila is a great crew to bring to roguemadas

[white bramble]

Oh yeah of course they will make 49’s how they did in Faction Hunt if people aren’t careful what they wish for

[white bramble]

Does yours include armadas or not. They have been releasing variants lately that don’t include armadas in that scoring

[small narwhal]

Hostile hunt for the battlepass has always included armadas I think?

[white bramble]

No not this last month or so

It’s been hostiles only for quite a few of them

[small narwhal]

https://stfc.space/events/629f4bc3eefff5ebbac4547c

When?

[white bramble]

This one does include armadas

[white bramble]

https://stfc.space/events/62a8b02891ef9e6737340b72

The ones with the wrong thumbnails

They are all hostiles only

[small narwhal]

Interesting, seems when it’s subbing in for threat reduction or destroy the machine it doesn’t include armadas

[white bramble]

Correct 👍🏻

The days it’s subbed in for those it gets the mining bp event thumbnail and it’s the same event

[thick locust]

is there a reason why the cosmic event store has only been up for 1 day this week and last?

[white bramble]

I have already passed this on 🖖

[vagrant topaz]

I'm pretty sure this has been brought up multiple times this arc, but why so many armada events back to back to back with such horrible rewards?

Like, absolutely horrible pay out for the amount of time required...

[white bramble]

True. It’s a pain. Although today there isn’t an armada event on. Only a mat spend with secondary scoring mechanic that includes rare and epic directives. Anyways I’ll pass this on. 🖖

[uneven wyvern]

I was worried when I had to do another SNW Mission after Breakthrough. I complained a lot about Breakthrough and had to get Customer Service to complete it. But this time you got it right Scopely, Best Left Unturned was smooth, the hostile locations made sense, hostile strength was appropriate (maybe even a bit low), the mission made sense, thanks! Great to see the improvement!

[wintry thicket]

Wish they would add ticket packs to the store when they run ticket events kinda a dumb move on their part.

[white bramble]

Yeah that was kinda interesting that they timed them wrong. They were there yesterday just not today for some reason. I’ll pass this on 🖖

[wintry thicket]

Thank you appreciate it put a cs ticket in also not angry just annoyed.

[white bramble]

Yeah I get it. Doesn’t make much sense to me either and I don’t buy them

[wintry thicket]

I dont spend a ton on them maybe 20$ a month lol

[left steeple]

@vagrant topaz it's the time that bugs me. I have a great alliance but fudge me, it took way too much time to finish. I would much rather fly my ship and kill that scroll for an Armada along with every other alliance, light, and wait. 2 ships, and active alliance, a bit of life(phone calls and dogs) it still took 4 hours.

[vagrant topaz]

I’m not entirely sure what conversation this refers to again, but I definitely agree armada events are generally way too much of a time investment

[maiden trail]

I find it weird that to open treasury on an ops 23 account the key in shop costs 4,99 € but it requires 4.000 broken rods to open for free as it does for a treasury that would cost 99,99 € to open.

[white bramble]

Yeah the broken desealing rod cost is fixed across all ops and servers

[past spoke]

When they launched and advertised the de sealing rods was it not described as at multiple values (no t&c describing that if you spend money it will always be 99.99)?

[quartz creek]

Desealing rod costs are based upon player spending. So if you spend nothing your desealing rod is only going to cost $4.99 whereas if you spend regularly it is $99.99.

[white bramble]

That’s just how they target it 🤷‍♂️ I think they adjusted it this arc so the £50 loot box was more common among lower spenders but that’s it

[quartz creek]

The broken desealing rods are fixed at 4k so that anyone, regardless of level or spending, can at least access 2 per year.

[past spoke]

Just curious as by there own advertising they should be providing me some rods below 99.99 …..at some point?

[white bramble]

Depends how much you spend 🤷‍♂️

[quartz creek]

It was always advertised that desealing rod cost was based on player spending. I never saw one below $99.99. I spend regularly in game so I wasn't surprised.

[past spoke]

Well what I do know if it was a physical shop in the uk it be shut down by trading standards and I dare not say anymore for potential breach of this discord t&c that are clearly stated 🤣🤣

[vagrant topaz]

And try charging me £100 for it anyway 🤣

[unique wolf]

How can i finish the the Disappearing act if I don't have ships that can cloack???

@wanton copper

[white bramble]

What ops are you?

[vagrant topaz]

Get a Lego or a D3 and buy the cloak.

Job done.

😅

[white bramble]

Get an ops 26 or 28 ship cloak and your done

[junior stump]

Yet again @wanton copper i have to go against a level 44 player in a SLB event when im lvl 41 This is ridiculous how do we compete. 5th time complaining i usually put a ticket in but that goes nowhere

[vagrant topaz]

Which SLB?

[edgy bison]

In recruit pike sms why no credit for G3 epic materials?

[hollow violet]

G3 epic materials don't exist

[white bramble]

Wait 👀

All is a lie!

[solid lodge]

@wanton copper This cloaking event it not possible to finish. At my level it takes 500 points, I can gain 65 per day which gives me a max number 5 kills while cloaked over 2 days, plus 10 points per kill only put me at 200 points. So as I said, this event is not possible to complete.

[queen kindle]

You need 375 tets to finish:
That's 15x cloaks using the cheap D3/Lego cloaks at 35 pts each to finish with 525 total.

Perfect playing will start you with 260 tets and 3x 65 daily claims for a total of 455 tets. This does not include the free tets you can claim from the free bp in MS14.

[vagrant topaz]

Why does everything need to be easy

It was only announced 2 weeks ago 🤷‍♂️

[white bramble]

😅

[small narwhal]

Someone pointed out that it’s slightly better to do 12x cloaks with lvl 26 and 2x cloaks with lvl 28. That gets you exactly 500 points and costs 360 tetryons

[queen kindle]

That would have completed my event the first time! I missed it barely

[vagrant topaz]

Personally I think they can keep it either a 2 day event as is now, or go back to 1 day with point reduction so you only need 1 pull

The double pull within 24h was a bit too restrictive. But nothing wrong with occasionally planning ahead

[spark agate]

I haven’t gotten a single snw shard from 8 chest pulls. Nice Trojan horse chest you made there scopely

[white bramble]

It’s called bad RNG

[spark agate]

Not the only one in my alliance. About half of us haven’t

[white bramble]

Yep bad RNG. My last 2 pulls was a bunch of TP and a few Augur and D4 bps but before that was 3 SNW shards a box

[spark agate]

The chances are intentionally low and the chest intentionally diluted. Who tf wants kelvin Spock in there.

[vagrant topaz]

I got three La’an just now from a single pull 🤷🏻‍♂️

RNG is gonna do what RNG is gonna do.

[spark agate]

We’ll now I’m even angrier lol

@wanton copper

[fervent laurel]

Has already been forwarded 🖖

[scenic flint]

So I have a question that has been bothering me all month. How are the Recruit "xyz" SMS and recruit event? You don't get any shards for said officer if you complete the event or tokens for a recruit chest and the event completionist event doesn't event give officer shard. So how is the event a recruit event?

[torpid obsidian]

Can confirm, didn't get mine either.

[fervent laurel]

Forwarded and being Investigated 🖖

[queen kindle]

The La'an swarm SMS is part of the Recruit SMS meta event that awards shards, ie. it scores there

[austere vigil]

Pike awards still seem to be broken. Cleared local cache (localization) and still nothing.

[fervent laurel]

Forwarded and being investigated 🖖

[solid lodge]

Man you making one very big assumption there, and that's I have not spend spending any of my tets. An event that is meant to be completable by f2p players can not make this assumption. therefor the math looks like this. Assuming I did not do my dailies the night before when they reset. I would have 65 tets, using my legion that's enough for 2 kills with 15 left over. I can pull 2 more times during the event giving me 5 more kills. that's a total of 7 kills for 70 point + 175 tet points for a grand total of 245 points which is not equal to the 500 needed. When I say this is not possible to complete I'm stating that from the point that all events such as this one should be completable without having to stockpile resources and not complete normal game mechanics. Also I know someone is going to say it but no just unlocking a cloak is not a viable suggestion as the cost is beyond the level level of rewards given.

[small narwhal]

Eh? Events always make such assumptions. Battlepass domination assumes you have a supply of officer xp/ship xp and somewhere to spend it, for eg.

Or have some big research and speedups to finish it

[olive prism]

https://tenor.com/view/office-space-gif-13221756

Where’s my avatar?

[ocean belfry]

It's such funny game design, which encourages you to play the bare minimum until asked to play more. 😂

[queen kindle]

Spending any resource to exhaustion will deny you the ability to finish a lot of SMS events. This one is no different, but if you want events to be completable from that position then okay. I doubt it'll happen, but okay.

[vagrant topaz]

There’s a middle ground (having a decent quantity of tetryons, and a reachable set of milestones for daily pulls on top of that.

[toxic sinew]

After the first set of cloaking events, I started trying to manage my tet stockpile so it would always be above 200 after a daily pull. Some days I only hit 1 ship cloaked, some days I hit 3. I just try to manage it there so I have a bit of a stockpile for these events.

[vast basin]

I would say the cloaking event restricts gameplay the most. Even if its announced it pretty much says don't use your cloak for a week. Personally I've avoided using cloak for months after getting extra ones from battle pass so I could start a cloaking event with 350 tetryons. In my opinion this is way worse than keeping 200k ship xp banked.

[toxic sinew]

I kept Sarc cloaking banked for this too.

[queen kindle]

It's poorly priced to cost as many tets as it does, but there should be some element of strategizing your income/outlays, otherwise it's a push-button freebie.

[uneven arrow]

no Pike for me, hopefully fix soon

[white bramble]

Can you put in a ticket please. There is a US holiday today so things are slow. A ticket can help identify players that need help during this period 🖖

[uneven arrow]

oh, yeah, that seems right, thx

[swift rain]

Recruit La-an: Swarm - SMS. no thank you. i don't like Swarm Sunday on Monday. it says Swarm Sunday right in the name there

today is Mining Monday, for comparison. Taco Tuesday is tomorrow

Doritos Wednesday, although not alliterative, is at least consistent

[wind rampart]

Did not receive a Pike avatar here despite finishing 3rd.

[white bramble]

Currently being investigated. Can you put a ticket in please as it’s a US holiday today things will be slower so it can help identify players that need help during this period 🖖

[olive prism]

How does one “put in a ticket?”

[vagrant topaz]

#👽-how-to-contact-support contains the instructions you seek.

[fair cedar]

So a life choice here Scopely - spend time with the family, go to work, and in general have a life OR I do the Recruit La-an: Swarm - SMS.

The goal is either too high, or the swarm hits are too low for each hit - I thought this type of life balance crap was a thing of the past!

[vagrant topaz]

Reject family, embrace La'an

[fair cedar]

🤣

[foggy socket]

Glad I paid for the Franklin yesterday. Took most of the day inbetween work but was able to hit all the low-level swarm to finish the mission without having to go back for repairs. lol

[fair cedar]

I had three runs in the level 46 swarm to finally finish. Off to the physio now to fix my shoulder, elbow, wrist, and fingers 😬

[hybrid quarry]

210 tetryons when event started.
+65 tetryons a day
=340 tetryons during event.
÷30 tetryons to cloak
=11 ships destroyed while cloaked.

So if you use tetryons for anything, like say ship combat during a territory capture, this event cannot be completed at the rate tetryons are sourced.

[queen kindle]

The 26s only cost 25 to cloak

[hybrid quarry]

I scrapped mine for prime research.

[queen kindle]

I'd build one to keep around for cloaking events and to prep for more scrapping later, other than that, there are some tets in the battlepass if you haven't claimed them yet

[hybrid quarry]

My money is limited. So I only buy the battle pass when there's an event store. And I'm getting ready to access deep space. I don't have the mats to upgrade a faction miner, and a ship I'll only use for one event.

[vagrant topaz]

If you’re about to venture into DS then you’re going to want to prepare for the G4 economy. Get used to having Lv26 ships building and scrapping 👍🏻

[hybrid quarry]

Crap.

[fringe lake]

When you need tens of thousands of common per upgrade and lat conversions still blow for g4 mats. Never-ending cycle of scrapping 26 and 28 ships

[high aurora]

Is it just me or did they switch the La’an sms event today? I could have sworn it was probes last night…

[white bramble]

Yes its been switched twice

[high aurora]

Ffs….

Heaven forbid changes get communicated and are not stealth changed. So much for synergy. This kind of crap is infuriating @wanton copper

Also, changing it from probes to away teams…come on guys. Are just trying to piss people off intentionally?

[rich orbit]

@wanton copper i see scopely has completly given up on the snw recruit chest....sad, a great opertunity down the toilet

[high aurora]

24 hours for 11k points….

[vocal karma]

Done

[willow quartz]

Hey scopely. Your away team event doesn't score with critical again.... I should've 14k plus points after doing epick with crit plus spending around 4 k trait xp but I'm 1.3 short to 11 k. Can you at least do something good once?

[blazing ether]

Why there an event called vessel improvement where I upgrade the vessel and it does nothing?

Surely ship XP and officer XP is a better name

I mean, I could max out all my officers but it's done nothing to improve vessel itself

[distant steeple]

[wanton copper]

I'm sorry what changes weren't talked about? We did post the past notes in Official Announcements when the update was live and the in-game news is live as well =]

If there is something missing that you see however, if you let me know I can look into it !

[wanton copper]

Shouold be out in just a bit! As soon as it's sent I'll let everyone know

[umbral mist]

It was away teams last night, and all day yesterday if not long before

I know as I told several of my guys who don't always do away teams to make sure they were doing them yesterday morning

[trim gazelle]

Why would they get rid of the Eclipse hostiles, and not get rid of the Borg hostiles?
Everyone can get to Eclipse, but you can't get to any BORG without buying a ship that's not event currently available in the game

[round hare]

Away team events really mine are 2 days to finish 4 out of 7 so guess need to spend some more cash ??

[queen kindle]

Trait xp an option?

[somber hinge]

if the goal of the recent changings was it to give every officer a green arrow, cogratulations! 😒

aside the good idea to make the officer status more visible, including the trait update possibility into the arrow somehow destroyed that work. The arrow was every time the indicator of the officer being able to be tiered up. Now it looks like every offi can be tiered up. i suggest you implement at least a 3rd arrow color (since there are also blue arrows - for what actually??)
And with the 3rd color the priority of shown arrows would be: green > new color > blue

[meager cave]

It looks like the green arrow is an indicator that it can either be upgraded, or a trait can be upgraded. I've only seen blue arrows on maxed common officers, i.e. without traits.

[somber hinge]

and thats actually, at least, my problem. Before the change you saw which offi could be tiered up, which was actually good to know. Now you dont see it anymore..

[frail bridge]

Are we going to get the new officer with out buying them it sure looks like only if we buy them will get the. So far iv completed all events and not even half on them

[buoyant ember]

Recruit La'an: I completed an Epic & obtained Crit Success. But was only awarded 5,500 pts. No points for completing an Epic AM. Completed a Rare w/th Crit Success and got 2,500 pts but no Crit Success pts.

[queen kindle]

The first one is normal, you only get the pts from one scoring card. The 2nd is unexpected for how long it's run and no other reports. What is your total score now?

[buoyant ember]

8500

[queen kindle]

8500 with one score being 5500 leaves 3000 left unaccounted for, and there are no scoring options for 500 pts. The most-likely scenario is that you actually received 3000 pts from your crit success, and not the 2500 you believe.

[vagrant topaz]

you can still see the shards, 100/100? ready for tier-up, 20/50? not ready for tier up

nonetheless having different colors for the arrows (with a legend somewhere explaining them) would be a good thing

[late totem]

Or just put the arrows back to how they were before would be ideal. You could already tell when setting up an away team assignment which ones had the trait and how much their trait contributes

[vagrant topaz]

The arrows weren’t put there for trait.

Trait appears to be a tedious fly in this ointment.

[proud gale]

Scoring is wrong for the showdown LB

[soft agate]

i do noo think we are getting the points for beating the armadas

only starting them
\

@wanton copper

[proud gale]

yes, only starting

[trail adder]

Wasn’t laboratory expert supposed to last another day? The short day nullified my entire strategy!

[fervent laurel]

It was announced it only runs 24h

Another one will be starting for 48h tomorrow

[wintry thicket]

Interesting already posted but armada scoring is broken in showdown event points only being awarded for stsrting not beating armadas...

[simple path]

This arc has been nothing but glitches and bugs and nothing working the way it should... where is the Quality Assurance in this company, I mean, seriously?!?

[wintry thicket]

They have quality assurance? I thought that department was run by monkeys.

[unreal coral]

i agree with Auchsu - points for starting an armada but not for defeating

[fervent laurel]

Global Issue, already being investigated

[simple path]

Might as well be with all the issues happening basically daily. At this point, they should give everyone Pike at the very least.

[wintry thicket]

🤣 🤣 🤣

[storm ledge]

Thank you saved me a ton of writing

[jovial sparrow]

The Armada Alliance Showdown event is not correctly scored. Only the points for the guidelines are counted and no points for defeating the armadas.

[white bramble]

What armadas are you defeating

[jovial sparrow]

Normal armadas, for example, in ursva 39 uncommon and the same in Nekosa.

Server EU 137.

[white bramble]

Ok thanks I’ll pass this on

[topaz valve]

here also doesn't score when destroying the armadas

[white bramble]

What type you destroying?

[topaz valve]

normal armada special rare or epic

[meager cave]

Same here. Only points for starting regular armadas. No points for defeating regular armadas. No points at all for eclipse.

[topaz valve]

server US 43

[white bramble]

I’ll pass all these on. 🖖

[lyric quiver]

Fix this before more people waste rare and epic starts

[twin moat]

Not getting points for winning either. Doing uncommon armadas in Nasturta. S80.

[vagrant topaz]

I seem to be only scoring 1000 pts for Uncommon starts, instead of 2000pts as the description states....

[lyric quiver]

How difficult it is to cut and paste scoring from another armada event for this alliance showdown SLB?

[white bramble]

Those armadas cost 50 directives correct?

[lyric quiver]

Technically it effects everyone negatively equally unless one alliance has a lot more rare and epics but man bad QC

[vagrant topaz]

It says "Start 1..." not "per directive"...

[white bramble]

It’s per directive

[vagrant topaz]

That's not what it says...do we understand how that could be confusing?

[white bramble]

It’s per directive. The scoring table uses some standard armada costs to do the final score

[white bramble]

🤷‍♂️ it makes more sense than making every single uc armada start 2k points

[vagrant topaz]

I'm not disputing what the mechanic is...but that the description should match the mechanic

[white bramble]

Yeah that’s true it should be a bit clearer laid out

[pallid pasture]

@wanton copper Klingon burial ships count for starting at the same rate a normal one will, but zero points for defeating.

[white bramble]

Already forwarded

[timber carbon]

Don't get points for starting exchange armadas. Shouldn't we?

[pallid pasture]

If the intent was to have us run only Normal Armadas or faction armadas then that should have been included in the event description. Next time please be explicit as my team is very frustrated in wasted time, effort, and now real US dollars buying packs.

[storm ledge]

I started a rare faction armada in groombridge and i only got points for starting no points for defeating so that cant be it

[topaz valve]

same thing here on the same system

[shut wharf]

Yep this event is BUGGED once again... score does not match with the texts....

[storm ledge]

So it's just a epic failure of the point scoring mechanic

[topaz valve]

that fails in really nonsense

[storm ledge]

Nothing important, go on with your day

Smh

[lyric quiver]

And scoring for wins matter because armadas don’t always fill

[late totem]

Well then something is definitely broken. Every single one of my officers has the arrow, including max tier and max level ones.

[white bramble]

Yep visual bug goes away if you click on the officer

[low mortar]

no it doesn't, only the green arrow changes to a blue arrow

[white bramble]

👍🏻

[late totem]

Already tried that on some. Only a couple changed to blue but they all still have the arrow. Did everything with them and even refreshed game.

[small narwhal]

Yeah I think in the past some of these have described it as “x score per directive spent”

[low mortar]

@wanton copper Can we please get an update whether scoring will be fixed, event will be cancelled or description will be fixed? It kinda matters to know this asap, so we know how to approach this event.

[shell stag]

No acknowledgment of scoring issues yet? On S11 my team is not getting points for wins, only for starting regular armadas.

[white bramble]

Not officially. All I can tell you from what I know is it is being looked into along with another small handful of other armada event related issues 🖖

[shell stag]

Ok thanks. Good luck.

[coarse cedar]

I apologize if this has already been asked/answered. How do you complete the Heroic BP Overflow event? Mine says the final reward is for 311k battle pass points. But my battle pass only shows 264k points available. Am I missing something?

[white bramble]

If you complete all the bp events the ones that give battlepass points and you will get all the points

It will start filling the first reward bracket fully after you hit milestone 20

If you miss one event you will not get the full overflow

[coarse cedar]

Right, but how do you score additional BP points after milestone 20? Will new events pop up? I’ve completed all of them.

[white bramble]

Yes they keep going till the end of the arc

[coarse cedar]

Got it. Thanks.

[latent merlin]

Points for launching armadas but not destroying them in alliance event? @wanton copper

[fervent laurel]

Known and already being investigated 🖖

[latent merlin]

Thank you so very much 🙂

[warped knoll]

OK, so I'm not the only 1 with that problem 😉 ... good to know, sad to see 🤷‍♂️

[timber carbon]

Have we gotten confirmation which armada types should be getting points 8n the event? We've run a bunch of exchange with no points accruing.

[uneven wyvern]

Wil the armada event scoring be retrocaively fixed? Or should we stop spending our directives until it is fixed?

[uneven wyvern]

The moderator has reported the armada event scoring bug, no word on when a fix will happen or if we will get our points back that I see.

And I had just forgiven Scopely for the start of the arc event issues after the bonus refinery and the smooth smooth SNW Mission Pt 3, and now this : (. My entire alliance was all psyched up to push hard for the 2nd round of the Alliance Showdown, and now we have totally stopped armadas waiting to see if we are wasting our directives or not.

[simple geode]

Over and over and over again. Some may argue its semantics, but I just TOTALLY DON'T UNDERSTAND why a simple official communication can't be made in game and through the official announcement channel. It's not a lot to ask. I shouldn't have to comb through discords to figure out if Scopely is working on something. @wanton copper you're doing a great job, but this is a continual frustration point for me an many others. Please seriously take it under consideration. We're nearing 5hrs after event drop WITHOUT OFFICAL COMMS

[fast notch]

well in my Opinion Event isn't the biggest problem. Many Players can't connect since 1 day

[uneven wyvern]

Agreed, I understand they can't fix it immediately, but a post up there in announcements that they are aware of the issue and are working on it, no timeline yet would go a long way, also if they stated whether or not we would get points back, but instead crickets. You poor moderators have to work with zero info.

[cinder oak]

@wanton copper , I have started and won 2 uncommon armadas. I have also participated in another 2 uncommon armadas which we have won. So my scoring for my alliance should be 2 * 2000 + 4 * 2000 = 12000. But instead the game shows that I've scored for my alliance only 4000 points. I would say that individual scoring is broken. I can't verify if the scoring for the entire alliance is also broken.

[uneven wyvern]

It is Cosmin, read this channel and event chat and you will see eveyone's frustration.

[cinder oak]

Thank you.

[burnt sage]

Where would be information about fix? There or at #⚡-mod-announcements ?

I need right place where to check 😄

[uneven wyvern]

A Scopley announcement should be in game announcements. Nothing yet : (. All we have so far is that moderators have reported the problem, they appear to be in dark as much as the rest of for an answer though.

[eager slate]

Removing the point option for winning the armada has now been removed but the other alliance that had their points corrected while our alliance didn't is completely messed up. We were in 1st now we are 3rd cause their points were fixed.
Thanks scopley for another broken event

[quick crystal]

Same with us. It's disappointing and beside this it makes no sense to let alliances score this way. No need to spend more directives for this event. Totally screwed, scopely.

[thin void]

@wanton copper Why did they deploy a fix that got rid of winning armadas?

[fervent laurel]

Because defeating armadas wasn't working anyway an this was the least damaging approach

[thin void]

I really don't understand how an armada event that ran last week can be broken now. Armada wins not counting considerably changes the strategy for this event

[shell stag]

Falls in line with every other recent event, geared to reduce players stockpiles of every type of resource, currency and material.

[wanton copper]

Totally understand, and we know having it set like this does change the way Alliances are going to tackle it. Sorry for the delay in response, but everyone has been getting the same amount of points for each bracket

[desert nimbus]

is it the whole event that's being removed?

[fervent laurel]

No, just one of the scoring metas

[wanton copper]

^

basically we're taking away the event description that says defeating will give points since it's currently not

[desert nimbus]

ok, thanks

[pure zenith]

I reckon this is debatable... first the description is wrong with regards to pts for setting UC armadas which cost fewer directives than 100, its more or less ignored and put off with some mechanics, and then you just change the description so it matches however the game works... it's really not good enough guys 👎👎 big thumbs down from here.

[fervent laurel]

I can only give so much info. I am not one of the people working on the events 😓

[cloud dune]

Could you explain how i can Score 2400 points when the score for an UC is 2000 and 7600 for a rare

[pure zenith]

I know you're not - but I assume you're part of the team 😉 again and again these events go wrong... it becomes somewhat... well... frustrating.

[wanton copper]

I'm sorry that this happened, and I undersatnd this is frustrating

This was the route that we wanted to take since it was currently balanced and no one was getting more points than anyone else

[fervent laurel]

I am not part of the team either. I don't work for scopely at all

[scenic flint]

@wanton copper I'm confused. So we are only scoring on directives spent?

[fervent laurel]

yes

[wanton copper]

I totally understand how you feel and I'm really sorry, we know this is causing alliance issues which is why we're also sending out a chest to compensate

[wanton copper]

For anyone not in the first or second place bracket, only starting Armadas is scoring

[pure zenith]

In that case I apologise, I havent realised how to tell one from the others 😉

[lyric quiver]

Isn’t there 3 brackets?

[burnt sage]

7600 - 2,6 * 2000 = 2400. Simple math: more UC armadas - less points gained

[lyric quiver]

One for top 2, another for 3-5 and another for 6-8?

[fervent laurel]

Epic Commanders don't work for Scopely, neither do Moderators or CCs. Only the Devs and Eco work for scopely. At least from those visible 🙂

[lyric quiver]

This should have been a damaged based ALB

[eager slate]

Removing the point option doesn't fix anything nor does an armada gift when the other alliance had their score corrected. They were 20k below us and jumped 40k above us. Thats not them starting armadas. That's scopley fixing their points and only theirs in our bracket.
I'm over this event

[junior stump]

How come 3rd place keeps their extra points and we dont in 4th and 5th RIGGED

[cloud dune]

🙈

[wanton copper]

I'm sorry I don't understand, everyone is getting the same points and no one is having points removed

The only thing we're removing is the event description that says points are earned from defeating armadas

Since that wasn't scoring at all for those in the 3-8 brackets

[shell drum]

I think the problem may have been that some armadas actually scored points when defeated early on. So some alliances were able to jump to a huge lead.

[shut wharf]

I advised my alliance mates to stop spending directives in this

[wanton copper]

I don't believe that is the case based on the info I have about the event. The only ones that scored for defeating the armadas were those in the 1-2 bracket

[cloud dune]

I don't understand either, I have 2400 points there is another problem with the score

[wanton copper]

How many armadas did you personally start and what types?

[shell drum]

we have a person in our alliance with 1000 points. Not sure how they scored that

[cloud dune]

I've started 2 armada , 1 rom and 1 klingon burial

[earnest harness]

AFAIK nobody had their points adjusted for this event.

[earnest harness]

It's scored based on directive spent, if they spent a shorter amount of directives on other non-FKR or marauder armadas (like burial ship, swarmada, etc) it would score a bit differently.

[shell drum]

scoring is "Start 1 UC armada - 2000 points

[cloud dune]

This is not what the event says unless the objective is to guess how the score works

[woven swan]

It isn’t what the event says, but that is how the scoring has been working from the outset.

Regular FKR uncommon, 100 uncommon directives? 2000 points.

Klingon Burial armada, Territory armada, etc that take fewer than 100 uncommon directives, they are scoring at 20 per directive used.

[gleaming cosmos]

Definitely doesn’t say 20 points per directive spent.

[trim gazelle]

This is such bullcrap -

The points for defeating the armadas is what levelled the playing field - now this is just "Who can give us the most money"

remove all the fun from a well thought up event because your team dropped the ball on executing and couldn't COUNT??@!?!?!?

If you're going to do that, then make all armadas score the same - no bonus points for epics

[junior stump]

Scopely ruined it again

@shell drum

@eco expllain this

@wanton copper

Shows loc ahead in mine but @shell drum says they are ahead

[woven swan]

If you fire 10 epics, that’s 200k points. 9 rares is 68,400 plus one uncommon.

3 uncommons.

[junior stump]

Mine shows us ahead tanks shows them ahead totally diferent scores

[shell drum]

Different servers i believe. Same alliance name

[woven swan]

I’m not saying that’s what happened, but it’s not impossible.

[junior stump]

Server8

[frank barn]

So, members who can't start an Armada won't get any points at all.

It's an Alliance competition, not an individual competition.

[trim gazelle]

it's not a "competition" anymore - it's just a spend event

[eager slate]

When starting armadas in territory it only give half points we are assuming since it's half the cost of starting them in normal space

@wanton copper does scopley have a timeliness on the armada gift been sent out?

[wanton copper]

It's being worked on and when I have info on when it's getting sent out I'll let everyone know

[eager slate]

Awesome thank you

[vagrant topaz]

🐳🌎

[young breach]

It’s a shame. My alliance is in first place in the 3-5 bracket. We worked hard for that position. We do better in armada events than the other events that are coming. I just wish that for once one of these “cool idea” events would actually work as promoted. The actives are finally leaving the game. Scopely has squandered an incredible IP due to terrible execution.

[sinful heart]

You do realize that that will only make it worse for the event, right? Please tell the overlords that this “fix” ruined the event. But it is noticed that the whale section worked just fine. If they could please come out and say that the freeish to play folks don’t really do not matter. Because the dribble on my back is to warm even for Carolina rain. 🙄🤨

[simple path]

@wanton copper This arc has gotten way out of hand. Nearly every day there has been an issue of some variety. But, this armada ALB event takes the proverbial cake. It started this afternoon scoring for defeating and starting and scoring wasn't working for defeating. On top of that, the type of armada directive was NOT specified. I went offline for a few hours and come back to it scoring only for calling and now specifies normal directives??? How many real life contests or events change their rules/requirements DURING the event? What else isn't going to work correctly or be changed without notice going forward? Not saying this game ever had QA, but, seriously, wth?

[woven swan]

Nothing will change as long as people keep playing and keep buying packs. Period. End of story.

Why should it?

[simple path]

Agreed, they are making their money and keeping their investors happy, screw the players.

[eager slate]

The spend directives is exactly the same its just showing the points now per directives instead of the full amount. Spend 100 directives this morning it was 20 points per which came out to 2000 points. Spend 50 in territory armada it was 1000 points which is still 20 points per directive 50 X 20 =1000

[simple path]

I didn't say the points for starting changed, I said the scoring for completing was removed and the type of directive became specified as normal only.

[cinder oak]

@wanton copper , I don't understand why only alliances ranked 3-8 are receiving the directives compensation. I'm in the alliance ranked 2 and I'm also affected by this bug. My defeated Armadas were not counted. Why our alliance should not receive the directives compensation?

[cinder oak]

It wasn't scoring either for my alliance which is ranked 2.

[trim gazelle]

@wanton copper our alliance Armadas have stopped scoring at all. No points for starting, no points at victory, nothing.

[sinful heart]

We just stopped starting them. We are a f2p fleet and you know scopy is gonna slam another friggen armada event. What is the point. And the 3 fleets in our bracket are all Allie’s so we all just kinda went “meh” when they did this.

Me personally I am actively telling my fleet and the others to stop. Why bother getting into a “peeing” contest for scopy’s benefit?

[vagrant topaz]

https://tenor.com/view/your-language-is-offensive-watch-your-mouth-zach-galifianakis-gif-13885320

[sinful heart]

Seriously?

At this point scopy deserves some harsh language. And my snark, and tone is directed at them. If it bothers anyone else, they need to look at themselves for that one. I cannot say why calling to task a disconnected greedy opportunistic and incompetent company isn’t the right of a customer.

Folks defending businesses is getting silly. They ain’t your friend, it’s not like they are the DM and have to be friends later. They are providing a service, poorly and should feel bad.

[vagrant topaz]

Yes seriously. You may feel they deserve some harsh language but the Discord rules prohibit you using it here.

I’m not here to be anyone’s friend, and calling you out for your language isn’t defending them.

Do all of the things you say you’re entitled to do without the offensive language or find somewhere else to do it with the offensive language. 👌🏻

[sinful heart]

Actually they block me when I use language I cannot use, so thanks for that. Might want to lighten up Francis. Check the content instead of bickering about the packaging maybe?

[vagrant topaz]

“They” don’t. The <@&509691205798592532> just get to clean up after you.

Say what you have to say without breaking #🌠-rules-and-roles12 is all you have to do 👌🏻

Although using intentionally derogatory terminology for people is definitely going to go down a treat 😆

[sinful heart]

Actually I get a big red screen that says the content isn’t allowed. And seriously, you’re being a bit Extra. What I said was common lexicon dude.

[vagrant topaz]

It only picks the worst. The mods clean the rest.

Re-read the #🌠-rules-and-roles12, I’ll pick the special bit out for you.

Which part of that being a swear word isn’t quite sinking in?

[sinful heart]

Grow up.

[vagrant topaz]

Says the guy having a flounce because he can’t say what he wants to say without swearing 😅

[sinful heart]

Of all the things to harp on. 🙄

[vagrant topaz]

Rules are rules.

They’re there for a reason.

You can say all of what you’ve said, I even agree with a chunk of it, but instead of saying it without swearing you’ve decided you want to argue your seventy fifth amendment right to run your chops in violation of the rules 🤷🏻‍♂️

<@&509691205798592532> it just ain’t sinking in here. Can only lead him to water.

[sinful heart]

And if that is the case I ask you to keep your religion to yourself.

You are THAT guy are you? The dude on the bike in How High? You’re that guy? Wow.

[vagrant topaz]

No, I’m the guy that gets to sit here and entertain himself with people who struggle to articulate themselves without breaking the rules, and instead of taking the subtle hint and changing one word so their valid point can stay, dig in so he can lose every shred of high ground he had 🤣

All you gotta do is say it without swearing.

[sinful heart]

Yup, that dude. 👍

At least the top milestone is not 11k….

[toxic sinew]

This (and flash events) are why I start getting nervous when people ask for more variety in events.

[mighty star]

Might be level dependent. I did it in 30 seconds by finishing a running epic.

[fervent laurel]

I on ops 33 did it with a single rare crit. But I still get how it's annoying to some people

[frozen trellis]

Lol . Got to use la'an as captain . But wait she is unfit to lead. Scopley wins again

[dense hare]

Really, Scopely? Kill Eclipse hostiles using an officer as Captain who has no Captain ability?!?

[edgy bison]

Spending faction credits in Lab Expert event isn't working!

[fervent laurel]

What did you spend faction credits on?

[edgy bison]

Augment Recruit VI

[fervent laurel]

1st, Augment credits are not included in the event
2nd, Faction credits only count when promoting an officer

[edgy bison]

So crappy description

[jaunty bone]

No, Augment credits clearly aren't stated in the description

and you can reasonably infer that "Spending on officers" means promoting

[toxic sinew]

It's better than the first time they ran something using this scoring metric. That one just said 'spend tokens'. Really irritated me that my Enterprise BPs didn't initially count.

I will grant that spending on officers could also reasonably infer buying officer shards, though not recruit packs that would have to be spent on shards. There is no method to spend main faction or independent credits directly on officer shards.

[vernal isle]

Also a day after the la’an away team event

[thin void]

there's been so many ATA events that I blocked that one out of my memory

[vernal isle]

Make sure to keep voicing that displeasure and vote on one or more of the away team changes in the suggestion log

[fervent laurel]

The highest ranking suggestion again have been added to the #keep📜suggestions-archive

Ah

[white bramble]

Yeah Jess ticked off a 2 or 3 I think so far

More G4 nodes, purely because of suggestions

[jaunty bone]

I'd count 2 there

the TP thing was from the Survey Rev organized last month

[white bramble]

[fervent laurel]

Like, we had this

[solid imp]

@wanton copper I hate to gripe, but here's some genuine feedback about the super-special SNW recruit chest for 800 tokens: Don't ever do this this way again.

• Make the tokens more accessible - I'm a lvl41, low-mid spend player, so I wasn't super-competitive in the leaderboards; I got only three pulls from the missions events in the entire month.
• Lose the dilution, keep it to the super-new officers. Of those three pulls, two were KELVIN SPOCK, who I maxed forever ago.

The super-premium chest that was the only real access to the new officers outside the battlepass itself and the recruit metas (which combined didn't even give full unlocks) actually gave me 500 transporter patterns and shard unrelated to the arc (I don't even remember what it was). I have now finished the arc, with full participation, and not unlocked a single of the new officers. Not even decent progress on Pike.

I like the game, honestly, I enjoy playing it for many reasons, and I love Trek as well, Especially this new property of SNW. This is NOT the way we should have introduced these characters to the game.

[toxic sinew]

I got BPs for epics I already have in mine.

[tulip sedge]

Same sentiment as OfficerBek. Mid Spender i only spend for Guaranteed pulls, not chance.

[solid imp]

Looked at my pack, looked at the officers, and it was an easy hard pass. $100 for 11 pulls? When the three free were two-thirds useless?

[toxic wraith]

Much like ferrengi arc on officers really., so unless the same officers being sourced next arc.. Well.

[solid imp]

Ferengi arc the dilution wasn't as bad and they sourced the tokens better

[toxic wraith]

Still trying to understand showdown as 56 took part in pt1, only 29 scored pt2... And I know some who did pt1 haven't scored but should have in pt2

[solid imp]

Ferengi arc was hard for me to judge too, I scored a full unlock of Cath on my first pull lol

[toxic wraith]

Basicly only those that scored yesterday are scoring today

[solid imp]

What do you mean part 1 and part 2 Divine?

[toxic wraith]

Well the 1st part was ranking period then we sit into 3 tiers. For next 3 showdown events

First is armadas they bugged yup scoring...

Next will be ata and then hostiles

[solid imp]

yes, that's all correct...

[toxic wraith]

But basicly people gonna lose out cos their scores not counting

[solid imp]

who's not counting? some of your alliance members in the armada event?

did they score in the qualifier? The power event? If they didn't score in that then they probably wouldn't see the rest of the events, which would mean they don't score points for the alliance

[toxic wraith]

56 ranked in pt1.

Only have 29 ranked atm.

[solid imp]

What bracket are you in? 1-2, 3-5, or 6-8?

[toxic wraith]

56 scored in qualifier 29 scored b4 reset. But no scores are counting from anyone else in day 2 of armadas only if scored on day 1

T2

Know some set armadas scored in qualifier but score not counting on alb

[solid imp]

Odd... they scored in the qualifier so they can see the event, and they are NOT getting points for starting regular (faction) armadas?

[toxic wraith]

Nope

Just because they didn't score in first 24hrs

Actually looks like those that scored b4 the fix can score, those after fix cant

[solid imp]

It's one continuous event, I doubt that's the issue; there's probably something else. If they've already scored in the ALB event and they're not scoring for starting faction armadas now, they should make a note of their current score and send a ticket.

[toxic wraith]

I just tested, as scored b4 fix and my score counts, but others cant

Not problem with those who scored b4 fix yesterday

It's those that try to score after fix

[solid imp]

what fix? They didn't change anything with the event

[toxic wraith]

T2 and t3 destroy didn't work so they removed destroy after few hours.

T1 is unaffected

[solid imp]

Exactly, they changed the text - the event mechanics never actually changed

[white bramble]

Ranks 3-5 and 6-8 were changed due to a metric not working

[white bramble]

Yes true

Mostly wording was altered

[toxic sinew]

The fix to match the event text to the actual scoring coincides with the time you see people not being able to 'join' the event?

[toxic wraith]

So why are people who qualified, not scoring in alb armadas, cos only way I can see is they weren't online b4 fix

Those that were can score even now, but those that didn't post score b4 it was changed, now can't even though qualified.

[solid imp]

They implemented the change in text (I refuse to call it a fix) only a few hours after launch, not 24. And again, nothing changed in the event mechanics, so if they are not scoring points for FKR armadas something ELSE is off.

[toxic wraith]

But of ranks 3 to 8 don't matter cos ranks 1 and 2 worked...

[solid imp]

you actually have the roster of people who scored in the first few hours? And you're sure it hasn't changed all day?

[toxic wraith]

We had 29 people b4 reset and it's still 29 now.
Even asked people why they not scored saying won't register their score

[toxic sinew]

The text change/fix didn't happen at reset and is not likely the event that caused this then.

[toxic wraith]

I know that I said fix occurred hours after reset yesterday

No idea what they did but anyone logging in after they did what they did although qualified can't score

[toxic sinew]

Ok. Just trying to pin things down because you have identified both the fix and reset as your timelines for when people stopped being able to start scoring.

[vagrant topaz]

And didn’t report it until now*

[toxic wraith]

I ve only been in since reset, had to work,

[vagrant topaz]

You’d have thought players might have noticed in the last 24 h 🫤 helpful of them 😆

[toxic wraith]

So been trying to pin down from mbers what's been occurring

People don't read lol

They don't do discord they barely speak english

[toxic sinew]

As a long time admiral now, this doesn't surprise me in the least.

[toxic wraith]

Only t1 alliances report things and their set and destroy mechanic works fine

And half mods are in t1 alliances so see nothing wrong

So no idea why, but looks like of 56 qualified only 29 going into ATA

But yes it's kick in teeth to t2 and t3 alliances, because t1 alliance members can get rewards just for participating in armadas, while t2 and t3 have to actually set, but even then its bugged

And have members basicly wasting directives to try to score but score not registerung

[solid imp]

• 'Only t1 alliances report things and their event works',
• 'Half the mods don't care because they're in t1 alliances and don't experience it'

When you start making generalized statements like these that reflect an 'I'm a victim' mindset, your credibility evaporates. My alliance is not T1, we managed to squeak our way into the top 2 of the qualifier. Believe me, if something isn't working in an event, my people notice and we can raise a fuss.

If what you are saying was accurate, a whole host of groups would have reported it by now. It's almost 24hrs since they changed the text (not the event, mind you), and three hours since event reset, yet no one has reported the issue you describe.

If you're so certain that what your people reported to you is absolutely accurate - that they scored in the qualifier, can see the armada ALB, and are not gaining points for starting a Federation, Romulan, or Klingon Armada, then you and they need to raise a CS ticket, because the issue is NOT with the event - it works fine for everyone else in all the other T2 and T3 brackets...

[storm ridge]

Are you calling out my integrity, and what Scopely/Eco/themselves tell me? 🤔

[storm ridge]

I told you where it came from. Here: https://youtu.be/hKDOrZFhSaI

[fervent laurel]

No, no, not at all 👉 👈

[white bramble]

Scopley can tell us themselves.

[storm ridge]

They did, by letting me release the information 😉

Benefits of it being my project 😂

[thin void]

When has Scopely ever communicated things clearly and directly?

Until Eco showed up, we often got no explanation whatsoever for things going on

It's been more or less a requirement to have someone looking at the Content Creators for information, and given those constraints they do a fantastic job

[storm ridge]

Definitely love how Eco has stepped in to fill that void. Was in a call with him for almost two hours yesterday going over communication for various issues and upcoming releases in the game. Dude is beyond dedicated. Just hope they get him some more help (second CM) so he doesn't burn out. We had this call well after his work hours. His passion & work ethic are phenomenal

[thin void]

Eco has absolutely been a breath of fresh air, but the job is too big for 1 person no matter how good they are

[storm ridge]

Agreed. CCs and Mods all do a great job trying to help him, but we also don't work for Scopely. We're not there (or many times approved) to do things for him anyway. Definitely needs someone else there!

[fervent laurel]

Well, Scopely is currently looking for a 2nd Community Manager 🙂

[storm ridge]

This will make 4. We just need more in "this" area of the play field haha

[white bramble]

Wow that’s amazing

[storm ridge]

Not a knock on Ares/Panic, they just had a different style, but Eco spends more time with the players & the groups working under him than any CM we've had before. Pretty great, IMO

[white bramble]

Yeah that’s awesome

Yeah the others before him weren’t bad

[storm ridge]

yea I don't like to say bad, just different style. Eco is far more "front facing" as a CM. Hope part of the CM team that add to though is in a different time zone. Would give him less catch up work every morning and let players have someone when all of the US folks are asleep.

[polar berry]

@wanton copper My battlepass registed 259k in points.. my BP Overflow 270k... curious about the equations behind this little bug.

[vagrant topaz]

Regularly! Get him!

[toxic sinew]

As one does

[storm ridge]

Hey thog! how are ya

[toxic sinew]

Doing ok. How about you?

[storm ridge]

Better after taking a 5 day break from Scopely lol. Feel refreshed xD. Finishing editing a video. What level are you up to now?

[toxic sinew]

Hit 39 during the alb qualifier thing 2 days ago

[storm ridge]

Heck yea, congrats! You're gonna love the events/rss payouts 🙂

[toxic sinew]

I’m not sure I could take a 5 day break and still come back to the game.

[storm ridge]

Well to be clear I st ill was in game. making content. live streams. I took a break from scopely

No dev channels (actually had left them), no CM, no game design

just, a break

[toxic sinew]

Ah. Right. I can see that. I came here to express/vent feelings about this arc and just kind of stayed.

[storm ridge]

I've been trying to be around here/the reddit/facebook more. Frustrated like everyone else.

[toxic sinew]

It wouldn’t be so bad if they hadn’t been improving so much over the last few months.

[storm ridge]

Yea, I've tried to talk about that. mentioned it in several live streams. This bad month was planned a long time ago. So, it doesn't negate the past 2 months, but it still feels awful

[toxic sinew]

Emotionally, and no matter how much we want to be emotionless green blooded people we are emotional, it comes fairly close. Picard day and bonus refineries helped some, but the next day it was …. Painful again.

[gritty bobcat]

Some people complained about the bonus refinery 🤦‍♂️

[toxic sinew]

I know.

People will complain about anything and everything

[gritty bobcat]

Yeah and Star Trek seems attract more than its fair share of manbabies

[uncut cloud]

It the overflow once your BattlePass is finished. All the extra points go in there for more rewards.

[somber flax]

Hmmm didn't notice that tidbit in phase1 event description

[vagrant topaz]

Still don't know what's up with defense platforms, or if we will see the return of ultra token spend events. I honestly hope they're gone but I don't wanna spend them just be hosed if there is another ultra sms

[patent river]

U have around 15k ultras, that should be good. Spend some, u know u wanna

[frail bridge]

Ok so I have completed the battle pass and all the events and I'm still short 6 Spock why gives even got top slot in a few events ...

[vagrant topaz]

I have like 49k ultras and yeah I wanna spend em. I will wait till next bp though

[frail bridge]

And not a single new officer from the special 🏅 box only existing what gives that's supposed to be help us get officer right

[gleaming cosmos]

How are incursions going to be successful when you can’t fix the lag in territory fights on a single server? Can’t wait for this hot garbage to drop.

[queen kindle]

Ultra token spend events have been here for a long time, and I've seen no reason to believe they're leaving

[vagrant topaz]

Thanks. I'll try to hold out. I'm antsy because I'm 50/100 for pike and wanna dump. If pike wasn't my choke point I wouldn't mind

[queen kindle]

If it helps, I doubt you could finish pike with that stockpile without being lucky so there's nothing really lost by holding.

[vagrant topaz]

That's true. With the borg ultra chest I would expect to get 35 shards with 47 pulls

[young oriole]

Did someone also not get all the La'an Noonien shards from the events? Because I only got 30 instead of 34.

[queen kindle]

I don't think finishing any officer was guaranteed this month

[jaunty bone]

Scopely has stated many times that they would be guaranteed with full event participation and the 20 dollar BP

[blazing vector]

Again creating some bugs?

[frail bridge]

I got like because I ranked 1st I got la an from events but I'm 6 short on spock all events don't and I didnt get a single new officer from the box lots of old Spock ...

[vagrant topaz]

Where have they stated that? I’ve missed it if so

[vagrant topaz]

They haven’t

Yeah my thoughts too

[astral talon]

The difference between “has stated many times” and “stated this time” is a big one. While I agree with your basic sentiment that at least one rare should come free, my experience is that only a green officer is ever guaranteed. Rares depend on the arc. Sucks, but such is Scopely.

[grave rose]

Wait Scopley baits players with unclear language that seems to mean you get more than you do for paying the minimum?

[small narwhal]

No, players have a vivid imagination.

[toxic sinew]

https://tenor.com/view/why-not-both-why-not-take-both-gif-11478682

[supple coyote]

no free ticket for today's event?

[jaunty bone]

No, they stated that "many times" this month

[solar bramble]

Adding shards to the ticketed events is awesome. A warning of it would have been even better. Now I'm out of tickets and have missed one of the few chances of officer sourcing for the month. Had I known it wasn't coming until the end, I'd have saved my tickets.

I'm glad June is almost over. I hope for great improvement in July

[ocean belfry]

If it makes you feel any better, I had quite a few tickets left over from last month, collected all the free ones this month, opted not to do a few of the higher effort ticketed events this month, and I still don't have any left to use today.

[solar bramble]

Scopely's poor planning this arc has made me regret buying the Battle Pass this month. I don't mind paying for good content. $20 per month is an excellent entertainment value for the money. This month didn't live up to it though. This arc seems to be made of bugs and hot fixes to patch things or to react to community complaints. It's been a pile of broken.

[ocean belfry]

@supple coyote @solar bramble they just added 10 free ones

[solar bramble]

I'd have rather had warning. Then I'd have three chances at shards. It feels like an afterthought adding them this late.

[ocean belfry]

I get it

As someone who doesn't even have access to the La'an events, I also would have liked any chance possible for the shards.

[hollow sundial]

Hmm, how many shards are allocated for the win?
Hard to read

[small narwhal]

Citation needed

[jaunty bone]

DJ has said it multiple times

[trim gazelle]

I think the Star means full unlock

[shut wharf]

I am really ANGRY! Now that the BUGGED armadas event is over.... IT SEEMS THAT ONLY PLAYERS WHO SPENT DIRECTIVES CAN GET THE REWARDS???

Is that so? There was No indication of this, the score system was bugged all along.

🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬

We scored as an alliance. We participated in armadas ... WE WANT OUR REWARDS!

[crude goblet]

of course you have to participate and score in the ALB as a single player. No participation as a single player, no reward. just fair.

[shut wharf]

At first it was indicated that killing the armada was partcipating, then they chaged the rules...

[white bramble]

That’s not bugged that’s intended. The ALB stops free loaders

[white bramble]

They changed it after 5 hours of the winning armadas not counting

So the whole 48h was a directive spend event

[shut wharf]

But no warning that only partcipating players will get the prizes like in other events... This event is a big fail to my point. bugged from the start to the end.

[toxic sinew]

And they did give all of us affected enough directives to run a rare, so we all could have joined. I feel bad for the 30 members of my alliance that didn't get anything, but they did have a theoretical opportunity to score.

[white bramble]

If you knew it was bugged then you should have changed your strategy towards it

[toxic sinew]

Don't most of us expect that this is how alliance events work?

[shut wharf]

No

[white bramble]

Normally every alliance has an events officer monitoring scoring

[river merlin]

"free loaders" did you just confirm f2p isnt allowed to get rewards?

[shut wharf]

Many alliance events specify that score is necessary to get the prizes

[river merlin]

kinda weird my guy

[white bramble]

Free loaders is an English term for players that don’t participate at all

Free to play and free loaders are 2 separate things

[river merlin]

they did participate they did join armadas thats not free loading

[shut wharf]

Here we participated in armadas

[white bramble]

Nope. That’s not part of the armada event.

[toxic sinew]

That's funny, an events officer. That would be nice. We have whichever member feels like checking.

[shut wharf]

It was part at the beginning according to mentions

[white bramble]

We have a Commodore and a Premier that have that role. I also do a check occasionally myself

Ok apologies then. Wasn’t meant to sound rude

[river merlin]

if they cant afford to generate armada tokens for this supposed "f2p" game but are in an alliance and can join said armadas they should still be able to get rewards for actively being in the event

[hollow sundial]

@trim gazelle Full unlock of 2 rare officers, for both first and second place? Would be awesome, but knowing Scopely I sincerely doubt it

[shut wharf]

This event was definitely bugged in all sorts of ways.. This ending is just the cheery on the bugged cake

[white bramble]

They should be able to though. All affected alliances received 200 rare directives per player

[river merlin]

i havnt gotten that chest

[white bramble]

This was the comp chest that was sent out over the change in the broken event

[toxic sinew]

Except, it's how it was supposed to be at the start. Yes, they should have shifted strategies and/or someone should have noticed, and they should have realized that all alliance events always only provide rewards to members who actually score, but... armadas do require broader participation than just whoever started it. It's not like they sat back and did nothing. They just contributed in a way that didn't count to the score.

[river merlin]

only sent to a few servers i guess

[white bramble]

What bracket were you in?

[river merlin]

top

[white bramble]

1-2 3-5 or 6-8

[river merlin]

were the biggest alliance now

[white bramble]

1-2 did not see that issue

Participation towards armadas counted

[toxic sinew]

That chest 'should' have gone to every alliance affected by the buggy event. It could be that it only went to alliance members who scored in the qualifier?

[river merlin]

ah ok

i get the frustration though

[shut wharf]

Me and my players too 🤬

[river merlin]

its like when they do armada events and only allow rare and epic armadas to count

[white bramble]

There were a number of factors that affected who could score in this event and how
▫️ If they scored in the qualifiers then they can score in the other showdowns
▫️ If they were in the 1-2 bracket no issues were seen so winning armadas counted
▫️ 3-5 and 6-8 had issues so event was changed and 200 rare directives were given so everyone could still participate
▫️ if they left the alliance they scored in with qualifiers they are disqualified also

[scenic flint]

Has this been answered? Cause I'm curios too.

[trim gazelle]

you're right - there's a display issue in the store too with the # of shards being hidden the same way

[river merlin]

thing is this whole battle vs alliances rewards are still pretty miniscule this game probably has the smallest awarding i've ever seen can hardly upgrade 1 building with these events. but im barely on nowadays anyway just come on when my alliance annoys me with pings 🤣 .

[supple berry]

So it was only if spent armada tokens ? What about those that are pre lvl 20 that participated in the armada’s they then don’t get anything out of it ?

[white bramble]

Were you in brackets 3-5 or 6-8?

[shut wharf]

That should have been mentioned explicitly in the "present sent" announcement, imho. This spending directives event was all messed up, and clarification was necessary.

[night halo]

"deal 1 damage to hostile= 1 point" WHY THE F DOESNT DAMAGE IN CRITICAL HITS COUNT?!

[night halo]

Okay now what is this nonsense

I dealt over 6 million damage and it only credited me for 1.3 million

[past fossil]

Banner is unfortunately not always accurate. Check the event details for info

[gritty bobcat]

Away team ALB, could these be rebalanced next time so actual away teams mean something

I get trait so being a part of it, but it is essentially all of it.

This is coming from someone in an alliance winning our bracket - it just isn’t fun or a challenge

[small narwhal]

It counts only hull damage

[night halo]

@small narwhal that math still doesn't match if so, and that's not what the event says

[toxic sinew]

Based on his screenshots, that should have been around 3M

[small narwhal]

Those probes have about 1.3m hull

[toxic sinew]

Interesting, I had been under the impression with prior damage events that it went off the damage done whether or not that exceeded the hull.

[small narwhal]

Yeah I’d have expected at least 1.8m (so the shots before the first destroyed) at least but apparently not. The crit damage event counted more than the health of the hostile for eg.

[mint cobalt]

What is the point of a gauntlet alb where a single whale on the opposing alliance can score 100 billion points in about an hour where an entire group cant even come slows to catching up?

[mighty star]

Agree, but then there are other showdown events where whale or not does not matter

[mint cobalt]

It’s all about event design, so that all players, spenders and free to play, are just as important.

[ebon pewter]

Does armada damage count for the Alliance Showdown: Hostile ??

[eager slate]

@wanton copper not that it matters really as they didn't really score points but an hour or so ago we had a 4th alliance show up in just the hostile alliance showdown. The away team alliance showdown its still just the top 3 alliance (we are tier 2 on server 74)

[fervent hazel]

If someone moves from one of the qualifying alliances to a different alliance, the score counts for the diff alliance.

[white bramble]

A couple players were discussing this yesterday. Luckily it seems the extra alliance that appears is just a visual glitch and doesn’t actually compete in the “glitched” bracket, just it’s own one 🖖

Also this has been passed onto Eco 🖖

[grave rose]

We need 3 per arc? Come on!!

[halcyon fiber]

these Spend SMS are just too much

How broke do you want to be: Yes

[dark pine]

Why have the rewards been changed for the last SLB for this spend event? I won the first one and didn’t get a normal Pike shards

[eager slate]

Totally hope they do the alliance showdown again our bracket was happy to not have to compete against the top 2.

[eager slate]

If u plan right you don't need to spend $$.

[halcyon fiber]

every week 9,5k uncommons? go away

and the armadas count shoot

[astral talon]

Does anyone know if a ship XP SLB is likely during mid-arc? Have a D3 tiered up for scrap, so lots of ship XP to dump into it

[white bramble]

This arc is coming to a close and I don’t see anything left on the calendar for an event that type maybe next arc 🤷‍♂️

[astral talon]

Yeah. I was wondering if anything like that happens mid-arc, though. I don’t pay enough attention there to remember

[white bramble]

There is some ticket events that are use ship xp and the domination style events are mostly ship xp too

[astral talon]

Yeah. Something tells me I’m going to have to wait if I want an SLB. Ug

[queen kindle]

We just had one during the power gain qualifier ALB.

[astral talon]

Yeah. I was just shy of making that. Kinda hurt, lol

[languid marlin]

How is F2P supposed to complete Disappearing Act on a regular basis? 500 points needed to complete... 1 point per tetryon spent, 10 points for attacking..... max allowed of 200 tetryons.... math doesn't add up

[astral talon]

Over-pull your tets (say 260) and get your chests to claim status before AM reset

It sucks, but you can pull ~460 in the 2-day window

[queen kindle]

It's 2 days now, so 3x dailies. Should be enough

[wispy seal]

Disappearing Act is really unfair for players lvl 26/27. They need 500 points too, but only get 50 instead of 65 new Tetryons for free per day. In addition they can't receive Tetryons from "Tactical Advantage Supplies"...because they dont have this in event store.

[astral talon]

They can still get up to 395 tets if they manage chests right. Not fun, but def doable

Even w/o timing it well, 345 tets are possible

Though I guess that’s still short, isn’t it? 😦

I definitely agree that 500 is unfair

[white bramble]

Quick question have you factored in the 10 points per hostile killed while cloaked?

[wispy seal]

I could do it 9 times now with 225 Tetryons, that's 315 points. Than i received my first 50 daily Tetryons now...thats another 2 kills and +70 points. Tomorrow there will be another 70 points, that's 455 points. And only if my timing will be perfect, i can do it shortly before event finish...but it's crazy.

[astral talon]

I think 345 ends up being shy by like 15. Would have to go in maxed and pull 3 chests

[white bramble]

Hmm I see 🤔

[astral talon]

Ops 29 could go in with 245, pull 3 chests for 150, then do it easy. But that timing sucks. 345 would fall short bc only 110 points from kills and only 325 tets spent 😦

[white bramble]

I still haven’t gone through and bought the cloaks I want so I never do the killing on this event

[astral talon]

Yeah. It’s definitely geared toward buying cloak. That will eventually end, though, esp for lower. 400 really should be the max until a person can pull 65 tets

[white bramble]

Yeah I think the need to adjust it per ops level

Maybe make ops 26 300 and then add 20 maybe for every 5 ops levels or something. That might be bad maths I’m just throwing random numbers that make some sense around

[astral talon]

It should at least track with tets from chest. If 500 @ 65/chest, less @ 50/chest and so on

[white bramble]

Yeah that’s better maths

[covert zephyr]

The points for this seem excessive. Ops 42, max M number for my ops and it still takes 2 full runs worth of Hull to finish this

[elder fulcrum]

Disappearing act / acquire cloak / there is no cloak on sale

[vagrant topaz]

the cloaks are on sale in the factions stores, based on your reputation with the factions

[mighty star]

Ah for you a whale is a big spender. In my case i dont consider myself a big spender, but i am on a higher ops then any in the other alliance

[mighty star]

And if an event result is not a to a significant degree a consequence of money spent, then i would argue it is fair. In particular if there are other events with different rules

[queen kindle]

Check your cash shop now.

[elder fulcrum]

yep, they appeared. thank you

[gritty bobcat]

Same situation and I feel a little cheated out now.

Felt good about it before and now just feels bad

[regal oxide]

Server 159. Daily’s are not registering/scoring at all. I won’t even mention all the other bugs/ glitches/crashes!!
At what point will this Billion Dollar company meet its own terms and conditions and supply a game that actually works as intended???

[lost kite]

Heroic Officer Event mathematics is broken.
I collected 16 Rare Officer shards @50 points per Rare shard.
Surprisingly, this generated 320 points total in this sub-Event.
Why does this not work. It's a regular feature of the game, so old saying...
"if it ain't broke, don't fix it".

See point from Scotty above. Please refer to your own terms and conditions.

[small narwhal]

Eh? Where does the tos say they provide a working game

[vagrant topaz]

Is that what the event shows after accounting for some potential lag, or what the toast banner said?

[minor finch]

Because the game is a job to play. Plus you need to have a job to be able to play.

[indigo oracle]

Points for eclipse and seperatists not counting

[simple path]

Disappearing Act SMS isn't scoring. I've used several cloaks and have only received 10 points since the event started yesterday. Started a ticket and have yet to hear back. It would be nice if, at least, one day before this arc ends, things work as they should.

That's sarcasm btw, I know the arc ends tomorrow.

[visual pebble]

Anyone seeing delayed scoring in Ticket event Fleet Development-Alliance? Specifically the failure of regular armadas to accrue points.

[modest sapphire]

Anyone else having problems with the overflow event?

Maxed every bp event this arc and the overflow event is 1100 off hitting max

<@&509691205798592532>

[lyric lily]

We're experiencing random spikes in server lag as of late; specifically event counts. I would check back in 15-30min to see if your points have changed.

[modest sapphire]

Okie cheers John

[cunning chasm]

you had to miss something, I just completed mine today

[modest sapphire]

Yeah but tell me a bp event where the final missable tier is 1100 points?

The first tier yeah maybe but never the fourth and final

[lost kite]

@vagrant topaz - It was the case 2 hours after the shards were collected, after unloading and reloading the game, and remained the case right up until reset.

[cunning chasm]

I would not be so sure that BP overflow points match exactly to the point max you can get

[modest sapphire]

Wouldn’t be the first arc where some peoples bp point where missing for the overflow

[cunning chasm]

could we get TFB - heroic bit easier? Its bit too much expect fresh 35 killing 35+ swarms

[lost kite]

@modest sapphire - After completing the third BP milestone today I was 100 points under the final points total. With 6k points for the fourth and final milestone I had 317.5k points.

With you managing 310.5k points total, it would seem that you missed a 7k final daily milestone somewhere throughout the Arc.

[minor finch]

If you're missing 1100 then you're actually missing like 7k. As there was more BP point attainable than required to complete the overflow event.

[grave rose]

2 disappearing Acts in one Arc is more than enough 3 is just terrible planning and annoying to the user base

[vagrant topaz]

Exchange armadas should count for this event

[vagrant topaz]

Frankly this event has been like this for years - if you play a years-long game expect to have to plan ahead on occasion / check what you’ll need to do. The info is very accessibly out there

[patent river]

Vicious cycle, you want to fight certain hostiles. You unlock it, only to find you don't do it well. So you improve...rinse repeat.

Heroes choice helps a TON

[white bramble]

It gets very easy once you get the Frank A

Skip it a few weeks till you can do it easy

[cunning chasm]

Just saying its bit unfair from event

i still completed it but killing 188 swarms is bit too much for one event

[white bramble]

I remember when I hit ops 35 I skipped the first heroic completely then did the second when the Frank A was done. It’s not ideal but if you are able to plan for it you can minimise your losses from the event.

Heroic labelled events are normally harder to complete it’s debatable if some are easier than others but the event is labelled to say it will be hard

[blazing ether]

Same, I am 2.1k short as is a team mate

[muted shuttle]

Like the mining ISO events where you can mine and dock with ISO, or steal and dock with ISO.. could we do the same with eclipse codes, frequency modulators, and other items.

[small narwhal]

It’s very easy if you have a max og franklin too, and that can be achieved well ahead of ops 35.

[white bramble]

That’s also very nice

[tight pine]

And now remember to the good old days without a Frank A. And a higher count of 35s to kill. I needed 4 trips with a maxed franklin to complete it.

[small narwhal]

They lowered the heroic milestones?

[white bramble]

Yes

[lofty steppe]

Not sure where to post this, I'm experiencing limited to no communications from CS for a ticket that I submitted due to being locked out of the game from Scopleys update. Is it possible to get some assistance for this?

[white bramble]

Update your game to the latest version it’s been patched

[lofty steppe]

I know, and I'm in game, however I'm missing BP and SMS event rewards from that update. The ticket has been open since the 23rd. I'm going to miss the BP overflow event because of it

[white bramble]

I’m not sure if CS can help you for that 🤔 I know that they can if you were raided but idk for events 🤔. How long has your ticket been open?

[lofty steppe]

Since June 23rd, with only 1 non automated reply

[white bramble]

It might be a situation where after the battle pass ends they can give you the extra stuff

[simple path]

Especially when they aren't scoring properly.

[white bramble]

They should respond within the next 2 business days

[lofty steppe]

Thanks, but I'm not holding my breath. This was the last comms from CS

That was Saturday

[white bramble]

They replied on a Saturday? 😳

Wow that’s a new one

Well as long as the ticket is still open it’s a good thing

[frozen trellis]

@odd marten why do you have an event that's almost impossible to complete. The disappearing act is such an event. You only let me bank 200 tetyrons. And you give me 65 a day. Yet you require 500 for the event. So with giving 10 pts per kill and 1pt for each one spent. That's 13 kills I can do so that's 130 pts plus 325 for cloaking. That's 455 far less than the 500 required. I managed to get 490 because I had some leftover from the battle pass rewards. But still 10 short.

[odd marten]

I like to watch the struggle.

[queen kindle]

You can bank more than 200, you just can't collect again if you're at 200+

[frozen trellis]

Haha wrong person 😂

[frozen trellis]

Right but only way you can get more is to buy them or get them from the bp. Heaven forbid you actually use them to get the particles for research

[queen kindle]

Yeah, I'm very much not a fan of this event. The prep required means that you don't get to use cloaking in your day-to-day, and have to choose to hoard for this one event or spend.

[gleaming field]

ended up being 3 tetryons short to cloak one last time for the last 5 points, could not have managed them any better it is simply rigged to come up just short

[trim gazelle]

Pike SLB didn't pay out the medal of Honor chest rewards

[queen kindle]

Where did you place?

[vagrant topaz]

They started the event a day early this time. The 55 tet per day people were absolutely hosed if they didn't have the tets from bp

I don't think they did the math for the 55 per day people

[keen dawn]

Meh. Who’s forcing you to do the event?

If you have problems with it, don’t do it. As long as you keep attempting it, Scopely isn’t going to do anything about it.

[junior pond]

I ran the event this time in prepper mode on purpose to test If I could finish in the compressed time. You can, but you have to time it exactly right, you have to be able to pull the 65 tetryon level a day, and you have to use a small ship that only takes 30 to cloak. I started with 262 in the bank, and the ability to do a pull at that point. I finished the event in the first 24 hour window with the 2 pulls and had exactly 2 tetryons left. So it is finishable even as a one day, but you really have to stack your deck well ahead of time exactly to do it.

In this case, you had 2 days to do it so I would have been able to pull another 65 the next day before reset to get any last points on top of that, but it's still a real pain with timing. And working out how to be at the 260 level takes a lot of math I don't really think we should have to do for an event.

[spice owl]

Think I missed the last milestone by about 10 short of a last cloak, would have had it. And I think I had over 200 before I started. I didn't get my daily quick enough

10 pts for the milestone I mean

[spare creek]

In the future putting data mining event on top of lat mining event... just no please. How about a little variety?
I did eclipse event by buying mudd shards bc otherwise just too much mining for me

[lofty steppe]

Scopley knows players were locked out of the game for almost 3 days, they know what events took place when they kept players from playing because they phased out older android phones.
What's to think about?

[lost turret]

Does anybody actually give a damn about mining monday anymore? The ALB rewards are pitiful, most of my alliance stops after finishing the solo milestone. Time to rethink mondays, Scopely

or, ya know, make the ALB rewards actually worth competing for

[queen kindle]

Whale in my bracket bought multiple feeshas to win the slb, so yes. They've mined nearly 1.5b pts so far

[small narwhal]

Each?

Oh one whale, got confused by “they”

[lost turret]

And when does one person represent an entire player base?

but that's ok. I don't have an MBA, so I must not know anything about how to please the customers

[small narwhal]

A sizeable fraction of my alliance competes for the slb. The alb just comes for free with that.

[queen kindle]

You've asked if anyone cared, and the answer is yes. If you asked if a lot of people care, then the answer is still yes. My bracket is filled with tryhards that have done tons more than the bare minimum. I did 29/26m pts needed, and am 88th. Top 10 is ~300m. A lot of people don't care, and that's fine, but a lot do too.

[heavy escarp]

@wanton copper I thought scopely fixed exchange armada respawn times months ago. Why are we sitting in empty exchange systems for 5+ minutes waiting for armadas to respawn 1 at a time and then with the lag we end up with 2+ teams starting the same armada. Another way for Scopely to scam us out of our directives so we have to buy more packs?

[elfin sentinel]

Ummm......

[heavy escarp]

Exactly what I'm talking about 👆🏽

[keen dawn]

Or, you could exercise a little patience and do the event later, when there’s less competition and less lag.

[heavy escarp]

That's not a thing in my server

I'm not staying up til 1am when the server finally quiets down

[keen dawn]

You people don’t have patience?

[heavy escarp]

Less competition and less lag

[elfin sentinel]

The issue isn't patience. It's wasted directives because people are starting armadas simultaneously.

[outer wigeon]

What's up with the really low exchange armada spawn rate. There are maybe one or two armadas in the 5 most popular systems for this. Lots of waiting for another to spawn.

[umbral mist]

On my server there is no such time

It's heavy comp all day long

[spark agate]

There will never be less competition because everyone needs the same armadas that aren’t available

[spark agate]

You don’t seem to get it. Jump into a server that just merged and open your eyes

[heavy escarp]

But really @wanton copper would love this respawn feedback to make its way to DevOps asap.

[elfin sentinel]

@wanton copper , or maybe it's time to create a few more exchange systems.

[trail shale]

Don't try to reason with the shills, let them speak their piece and allow them to crawl back under someone's desk.

[elfin sentinel]

@keen dawn, laugh all you want but the warning message that Scopely added to prevent such occurrences doesn't work as intended.

[trail shale]

Because 5 exchange systems completely empty of armada targets.. during an armada event is a problem, and IDGAF what anyone says otherwise.

@wanton copper no more apex events until armada spawn times are fixed. This is beyond ridiculous.

As a matter of fact: no more armada events in general until spawn times are looked into. This is a problem every time an armada event starts in my server.

[twilit gust]

Definitely depends on your server, usually 3-5am US/Eastern is a pretty good time to run some armadas with the night crew, but even then during Apex you are likely still competing for Rares/Epics

[vagrant topaz]

Raise it with CS, theyll refund the tickets

[spark agate]

Yes but how many people are able to play in the middle of the night. The game should be catered to the players. The players shouldn’t be doing backflips to play a game. That’s how you make people quit

[spark agate]

In time for events though? Just getting them back doesn’t solve the problem always

[vagrant topaz]

Thats unlikely

But given you’ve enough to finish regardless (🤞) it’s some free points

[twilit gust]

Should have put a /s (sarcasm tag). I happen to have a really weird schedule so do get play time then, but think that the armadas respawn needs adjusting because the fact that basically 3-5am is one of the few "good" times is very bad

[vagrant topaz]

Definitely agreed there, I’m not a fan of apex

In part because of this

[spark agate]

Or trying to help alliance members get their skin

[trail shale]

Yea I honestly don't care about the Opus Grande skin anymore. It's a problem just clearing the armada event itself with these spawns, let alone trying to compete in an SLB for a skin. (Then again I don't really care about SLBs in general anymore.)

Good on you lot for trying to help others get it in all of this stupid mess. 🍻

[autumn wadi]

OK, how the heck are we EVER supposed to get enough armada directives for these events? Or is that the point, no f2p grind option, just make people choose between missing out or throwing down cash?

[queen kindle]

Eclipse armadas have pretty good sourcing, you can exchange codes for them every day

[autumn wadi]

I can get 34 directives for 37k data once per day so it takes me 3 days to get directives for a single armada which gets me about 20% of the way through the event. So 15 days worth of accumulating directives.

[queen kindle]

This is a destroy armada event so you'd get pts for joining your teammates' ones too. In addition to green directives, at a higher rep you can earn blue ones in the same exchange

[vagrant topaz]

eclipse directives are sourced better than normal directives, but we already had 3 events in june bp, and the apex before the bp, and the apex now, this many events can easily dry the reserves one had accumulated

[keen dawn]

I soloed the event this afternoon. At the height of “competition.” 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

[trim vigil]

The event lasts two days so....

[autumn wadi]

The data farming was one day, the armadas the 2nd. The overarching event was two days.

[dreamy marsh]

This armada event is borring ! The respawn time for éclipse armada is too long ! Scopely team please change this time of respawn. We don’t have enough armada !

[rigid tree]

I don't understand how you can call this is a solo event, when you have to have participation from your entire alliance to compete and score in it.. unless it's a competition of which alliance can spend the most to compete against your own team and the rest of the server

[keen dawn]

I soloed it easily.

[dark pine]

Think he’s referring to the refit event

[thin bear]

Just what everyone always wants! Auctions for 3 year old rare officers that have never been regularly sourced! Profiteering at it worst.

[high aurora]

Everyone has materials to spend as well...lol

[thin bear]

And the SMS gives fewer shards of the "featured" officer than we'd get for an epic too.

[vagrant topaz]

I started working on the angry data mining event in plenty of time to catch an empty node. I didn't there in time because of how unstable this game is.

[thin bear]

But let me tell you, 525 transport patterns and 5 Harrison shards for 1.29M points in a SMS seems like an amazing deal for SOMEONE..... who is entirely not the player base.

And yes, I'm implying most long time players have Yuki maxed in that statement.

[patent gazelle]

Boring. Another data mining event is you people just don't care.

[high aurora]

Should have run a second Stella Armada event for....synergy ...

[spark agate]

@wanton copper do y’all not learn? 4 weeks in a row of mat spend lbs? WE DONT HAVE THEM

[spark agate]

I don’t even have the rss to complete it. This is the 4 th one in 4 weeks

[thin bear]

Yep. But to be fair, this isn't the fault of @wanton copper that there's another mat spend auction, that they refuse to release Harrison normally, and that there's another auction for a 3.5 year old officer.

[keen remnant]

Just outrageous it's on a weekday 3 days after the last one ended

[desert nimbus]

in this slb lower ops players also get less shards with is pretty weird

[steep ridge]

6* mats don't count for the spend?!?!?! Not cool! @wanton copper

[junior stump]

Get it together scopely after spending to try and unlock Pike (which I couldnt) now we have another spend event. Thats 6 in a month and 3 in 2 weeks GET A GRIP i cant even score the first tier

[tender wadi]

I will not be spending any mats on this P2W event, as is my prerogative!

[trail shale]

Yea no. You guys can take a long walk off of a short pier with this nonsense.

You wanna huck more spend events in? Cool. BUT FIX THE REFINERY, OR SHOVE THESE EVENTS WHERE THE SUN DOSNT SHINE.

[jovial zinc]

9400 unc g4 for 6 Harrison shards and 2 officers maxed ages ago (I’m ops 41). For the first time in my tenure playing this game I’m skipping an sms. If the expectation was that the sms was for players competing in the slb, put the extra shards there & spare the rest of us this insult.

[spark agate]

It’s pretty bad for sure

[spark agate]

We’ll if he doxs the guy who’s fault it is I’ll yell at them instead lol

[light canyon]

This is bs doing events knowing no one has rare since you screeed up the ability to get rare from uncommon armadas. Your ferengi greed is going to kill the game

[spice owl]

Again Unc doesn't count

[spark agate]

Why would it? Then it would be possible

[vagrant topaz]

Think I'll skip

[trail shale]

Truth hurts don't it? #firetheeventplanner.

[gilded warren]

You could make the grind less boring eclipse borg probes ect with a multiplier in event to make game less boring

[gentle fox]

So what happens to alliance helps and buffs when you invade another server during Infinite Incursions?

[split cedar]

The lag is horrible for territory battle. How is this new event not going to be as laggy ?

[high aurora]

@wanton copper Incursions are going to tank the game. Forcing people that don't want to participate into sub level 20 systems. It's just going to be a grief fest the entire time this is on. You're going to have people quit in frustration as trolls kill everything in site. Hit the eject button before this does irreparable damage to the game and community

I enjoy PVP, but this is the worst idea I have ever heard of and I've been around since beta

[manic rampart]

yep! noone is going to be able to mine as there'll be no reason to follow RoE when on remote server and every reason to kill every single ship they can find (even if it's only 1 OC; and depending on events, probably kill even if it's not OC)
EDIT: maybe they're trying to get everyone to do more miner repair research!

[toxic sinew]

Got to say, I’m not excited by the incisions plan so far.

[final pendant]

This new server wide event sounds horrible.

There should be a way to opt out, or move people who opt in to a temporary server

[gentle fox]

Don’t get me wrong, I think the concept of cross-server travel is interesting. But there are a lot of details to fill in, and a lot of obvious pitfalls.

[final pendant]

Not to someone like me, who is barely 5 million in power. I stand zero chance.

[gentle fox]

On the plus side, you’re probably low enough level that most griefers won’t be able to hit you, and your dailies will still be doable. I’m level 39, and need to mine g2-g4 mats daily or almost daily. That will likely be difficult.

I’m always up for a challenge, but….

Also, if we end up liking the other server, can we stay after the event ends? 🤔

[violet pulsar]

Wow, 2-day events that don’t allow shielding in the vast majority of server space. Ooh, so you can get a server buff no one can agree when to use, while Scopely massively slowed down fixing the massive pile of regression bugs they shipped over the last two months so they could ship something no one wants by the time they’ve read the instructions.

RL is a thing again, fools, and you keep running away from game improvements that recognise this because you think whales will pay for every other kind of shiny.

Oh, look, here comes Henry Winkler on waterskis.

[umbral mist]

So, since territory doesn't have a level, does it count as 19 and bellow, or 20 and up for the shields?

[little plover]

Who ever the muppet that came up with incursion event must like killing the game more.. Watch more people leave the game 😆

[wise oasis]

I was days from lv50 ops. I've spent thousands on this game:; probably tens of thousands. I don't like this Insurrection concept. I enjoy pvp but I enjoy it at my leisure. I do not appreciate it being forced on me. I definitely do not appreciate being pushed into a sub 20 system or risk having everything stolen from whale players since I won't be able to shield if I do not move. I do not appreciate all the months of holding onto territories with my group to suddenly be forced to leave everything behind. When this concept tanks badly, (which it will knowing Scopely's track record for not thinking things through) Me, and more importantly my money. will be leaving; as will the majority of the non-whale/non-pvp players. This is not an idle threat. And its so blatantly obvious it is going to happen. But good luck with it. I hope Scopely has a well prepared explanation to its stakeholders why their shares fell significantly. This cash grab is gonna cost you.

Candy Crush, here I come!

[twilit forge]

Will relocation tokens be readily available for incursions?

[olive cape]

Lol the doom n gloom is real. I for one will give the incursions a chance. Could be fun. If theyre a disaster (either programming-wise or entertainment-wise) ill base up in a <20 system, shield up and wait for it to be over.

The game is not ending over a 2-day event failing to deliver. If that were the case stfc would be dead dozens of times over. 🤣

[toxic sinew]

Yeah. I’m not excited by what I’ve seen and heard so far, not at all excited, and there are lots of ways this could go very very bad for people on vacation, etc, but I will give them that we have enough warning to try and prepare.

[violet pulsar]

Sure, this game is ending because the entire year in new content has been garbage, while Scopely leaves bugs sitting and introduces a mountain of regressions to deliver this hot garbage, and does nothing to deliver actual efficiencies that make the huge shortcomings in the g4 and g5 ecos sustainable for players who aren’t spending six figures on this game.

RL becoming more of a thing? We have some QoL for you to buy one set of crew presets at a time.

[high aurora]

Unless you went on a 2 week vacation recently...lol

[toxic sinew]

Yeah

[austere fiber]

I somewhat look forward to this. However, it is still just PvP for PvP sake… it’d be better if there was some kind of goal, like a capture the flag style event where we have to fight to get to a crucible (from storyline) somewhere in the enemy server while they try to find one in ours… that would require teamwork and strategy. This just requires ill-tempered players with a history of making poor financial decisions.

[high aurora]

Just get rid of the shield suppression....

[austere fiber]

This also should be tied to DS9s wormhole… which would mean building a single access point to fight and defend. Just randomly jumping bases into another server seems like a missed opportunity for strategy

[olive cape]

I don’t disagree, just that this new info isn’t ‘hot garbage’ (yet). It could be fun, it could be meh, it could be a disaster. Won’t know ‘till we get there.

The g4, g5 economies, server lag/game crashes, uninspired arcs, etc. being hot garbage? Yeah. And those issues are far more problematic long-term issues then a new 2-day event being a bust.

[violet pulsar]

Scopely’s track record for PvP events so far is 0 for how many?

[olive cape]

Yeah 🤣 I’m a betting man, and I wouldn’t bet on Scopely here either… but maybe they get one right?

[swift rain]

Is the incursions link available in other languages? Brazilian?

[manic estuary]

So someone said these were 2 day events? or 2 1day events?

[heady basin]

lol server invading event... how do they expect to be able to handle that. they cant even handle an armada event while it kills the servers. i mean cool idea but its going to be a hot pile of 💩

[violet pulsar]

I mean, “let’s bet the farm on the one thing where we have failed with complete consistency”.

[high aurora]

Even a broken clock is right twice a day?

[violet pulsar]

I’ve spent two months having to re-archive the same missions and clear the help button of the same arc announcements when my sessions reset almost every time I put the game down. That thirty minutes a day of wasted time, on top of chasing support as someone who’s made it to 54, only to be thanked for my patience as there is still no ETA, I’m sure incursions will totally be worth that still unresolved regression.

[umbral mist]

Only if it still shows a time, and uses 12h and not 24h time... Being scopely those won't be true

[vital sparrow]

I heard the incursion event store would have new ships like the millennial falcon

[high aurora]

https://tenor.com/view/obi-wan-oh-yes-elevator-obi-wan-yes-aotc-gif-23605373

[swift rain]

can i get some love for other languages represented on our server? @wanton copper

[austere fiber]

Do we know how incursions will be scored? I would hope the scoring penalizes servers for eating their own… because all those bases going unshielded from my own server will look darn tempting to me.

[blazing ether]

Hey @wanton copper incursions really bad forcing us to work together ... our server had a merge and it did not go down well, why am I being forced to help certain people based on us sharing a same server number only? Some people or alliances we have been in a cold or not so cold war with.

[tame seal]

You dont need station shielding if you got prime station cloaking 😉

[austere fiber]

Don’t you need 100 shards for that, and the only way to get it is a $100 pack with a chance for one shard that’s available for one hour on the fifth Monday of a month.

[tame seal]

Dont forget its a limited offer so you better get your wallet out

[grave rose]

[languid garden]

Due to the exceptional lag I suggest you give us all 10 opus grande shards.

[hushed hazel]

10 Opus Grande shards for everyone without the skin. For those who have the skin, like myself, they should give them 10K rare uranium.

[spark agate]

If I get raided during and incursion because you dropped my shield I’m quitting @wanton copper

[gilded warren]

Need base in 19 system to shield

Stupid idea

[tough pasture]

Incursion is going to be your biggest mistake. Which game designer thinks this is a good idea?

[maiden rampart]

the one who loves call of duty

[viscid python]

This lag is absolutely ridiculous

[mild glacier]

From the sound of it, incursion looks like it's going to be little more than a mass raiding event. Makes sense, we've been given all the tools to make that worthwhile for those who do that sort of thing.
I suspect if it actually happens it's going to go much like that one time Free-for-all galaxy-wide pvp event went -> 99.9% of players will simply move, shield up, and log off for the 1-2 days the event runs.

[amber lintel]

it would actually be fun if it were reasonable brackets, if the current range is used then why wouldn't they just sit out after getting a few points and let the whales smack each other around

[cobalt axle]

This is overly complicated for casual players who may only check in with the game once a day. You also have players who have things come up in RL and so they throw up a 3 or 7 day shield. Now if they don’t also move their base to a low level system their shield becomes meaningless and they come back on to discover they have been drained. This is going to frustrate a lot of players and lead to them quitting? Is the goal to shed enough players from the game so you can consolidate more servers because that seems to be what is happening. I don’t think this has been thoroughly thought through by people who actually play the game. Take this back to the drawing board, please.

[steady scroll]

I am so sick of Scopely only listening to the whales.
This is obviously something the whales have asked for.
Probably demanded "Give it to us, or we'll take our money elsewhere."
Just like every other part of this game.
I'm done. I'm over this game. This isn't even Star Trek anymore.
The only thing Trek about it, is the name, ships, and characters.
Everything else is useless.

[tough pasture]

Raiding resources we all have in surplus. Makes absolutely no sense. Even TC is dying because of the ridiculous amount of time needed.

[nimble dragon]

If you want the incursion events to be a success, make the rewards legendary. Simple and easy to do. It’s how any event or battle pass arc is remembered.

[thorny perch]

This event will be a big mistake. As nice as the idea is to compete with other servers , then this kind is for many players a slap in the face and quite a cheeky

[mystic compass]

Go with the new cross-server event! I don't like the fact that shields are automatically lost.
I'm a level 37 player using 7 day Peace Shields because I can't keep an eye on the game At all hours.
If I don't want to participate in the new event, why should I lose the Shield of Peace automatically?
Why aren't players given the option to choose whether they want to participate in the Cross-Server Event or not?

[thorny perch]

Scopely will "argue" that you have a choice. You just have to move into a low20 system. Simply ridiculous.
I hope that the territory shields will be preserved. After all, they don't have a level or do I see it wrong?

[uneven mason]

I was hearing earlier that TCs are considered lvl 20 systems

So not safe

[fervent laurel]

They are, so no shields

[languid garden]

Honestly this incursion event so far seems like raiding on steroids.Would like some other angles to it.

[unique hound]

Absolutely loving the idea of the incursion event @wanton copper
Reward seems a little slim though and we have to see how smooth it goes and how participation will be.
I am really annoyed at all the crybabies that want to keep their eternal bubbles up, why not play candy crush instead?

[vagrant topaz]

The point of all these crybabies including myself is, this stuff basically tells you to either participate or not play at all. Consequences are far beyond some shield. Just throw ROE out the window for the duration. The impact is far too great for the average 1h a day player

[unique hound]

They can just relocate to a lower system

[vagrant topaz]

“Consequences are far beyond some shield”
