[ebon temple]

all players should 100% use hugh. he has been a massive gamechange in 99% of all pve

[maiden cave]

maxed Enty

Ops 41 to be clear

[earnest raven]

How many rounds did this go?

[brisk pulsar]

So are we spawn camping 55's? Fun.

[placid furnace]

I have no issues doing anything especially dailies. I whack 51 freeboots for 5 mins and mine for a hour and my dailies are done

[keen wraith]

I have a T5 Vorcha.

[raven summit]

That makes no sense as I tried.with a maxed auger and got nowhere

[maiden cave]

I used Sev crew with just my standard lower decks and managed 1 kill; swapped out to a full on health build and a health exocomp and I was getting like 6

[placid furnace]

Hugh won't change outcome.... our alliance has tested

[hidden python]

Should be easy with the Severus crew then and Paris below decks and stacked with defence. Make sure to just hit the battle triangle (explorers for a battleship)

[crude phoenix]

5 rounds

[flint ruin]

We are. It doesn’t matter. The red triangles are simply too OP.

[simple smelt]

How it is every time they update something breaks, devs don’t care about your time or money

[hidden python]

You shouldn't be running out of shield in 5 rounds with a T5 Vor'cha

[placid furnace]

And I'm not wasting another token... 1 wasted on 41s getting UC crap... 2 on 46s testing crews

[raven summit]

Seriously not worth the headache till later

[old ferry]

@terse jackal they put a hot fix out. Now what about the game loading problem on Android

[steep inlet]

Writing this event off entirely for OPS 39, also fix the promo code level, it's just rude to ≤37s

[granite snow]

Anyone any idea? Player Can't see the full text

[old ferry]

I'm a lvl 44 and can't claim the promo code. It should be available to all players

[steep inlet]

Oh goodness yeah that's rubbish then

[half shell]

This event is impossible to do with the amount of cells given and level of hostile expected to hit

[midnight hatch]

This Arc is intentionally designed to frustrate and chase people away, total waste of time for people at below 39 and who arent scopley’s loyal Big Spenders. Giving 3 mortgages a month isnt worth it on a game, but that seems what they prefer

[minor osprey]

Can we get some more tokens? Or remove the token gate from the low system? Out already and I only managed to kill 3 across 5 tokens spent so cannot complete event

[proven bolt]

Does the xn01 do anything other than the aquatic loop? Anything there other than picHugj? Seems the aquatic loop is a skip, right?

[heady moon]

Think it should be saying this:

[half shell]

33 51s on 5 tokens isn't happening

[naive blade]

@heady moon why do ops 55 need rare loot to exchange? Shouldn't it be uncommons until ops 56 with the ships capable of killing the larger hostiles?

Side note, where is the permanent long term officer sourcing for the Enterprise crew going come from?!

[silver parcel]

gonna get expensive

[gleaming hollow]

<@&509690795536941056>

Much like the Xnidi Arc you guys said it was meant to be hard and players were supposed to take time to improve, which is great EXCEPT when you run day one SMS events with hostiles you haven't had chance to "get stronger" against yet as it DAY ONE!

Or put another way, buy the Prime or fail.

[desert shale]

This update is the worst, shameless money grab.

[granite snow]

Thank you 🙏🏻 so you get them remnants after you've maxxed the orginal artifacts?

[proven bolt]

Hey @heady moon. If you can, please take a look at event chat. Seems folk are foregoing silent hostile loot to punch down for the slb. It seems wrong to not be able to use the loot you’re grinding for

[outer mesa]

Why do two of these ss say I have these things but the place you spend them says I don't 🤷‍♂️

[sinful nest]

Ummm, it won't let me exchange g4 temporal disrupter parts

I think it's glitched

[hardy tree]

It's not like there's anything of worth or value in the event store either so it's a easy battle pass only month and skip the other events for me.

[sinful nest]

We got scopely'd

[desert shale]

They tiered the parts because this is a cash grab.

[hidden python]

My man you can see the words uncommon and rare right? 😅

[silver parcel]

because your screenshots uncommon and you need rare

[crude phoenix]

that is the onl;y way to win the slb ..

[heady moon]

At least one original. Yup!

[brisk pulsar]

Out of tokens.

[outer mesa]

Nope not wearing my readers but thx,👍😊

[buoyant zenith]

@terse jackal i dont mind them changing things up a bit with hostiles and making you think about crewing but it shouldnt be locked behind a token

[granite snow]

Thank you , your a star 😊

[cold anchor]

Best team for 57? My 310 sompeq has hard times

[sinful nest]

@terse jackal are y'all aware that the temporal disruptor store isn't working correctly? The parts don't show up in the store

[raven summit]

Me neither

[lime wolf]

have you checked the level you are hitting provide the parts for your level refinery

[hidden python]

I have had enough crazy for one day, events done, laters 🫡

[buoyant zenith]

also in the 46 system right now all there is, is lvl49s that nobody can kill lol it should be full of 46s should it not

[torpid flower]

This arc is already a complete fail. Who does the testing for these things? So much for "quality over quantity"...

[sinful nest]

G4 parts and I have g4 part mats

[rare smelt]

@terse jackal , @heady moon drop the tokens , make the systems open … maybe then people can at least do there sms … how can I do my sms when u already did 3 runs on 44’s and only got me past milestone 1 … we have now got 5 tokkens which leaves me 2 … that will not be enough for a sms … oh and a side note , I need to kill level 51 ships I can’t kill as a 52 😂😂😂😂 great job scopely

[lime wolf]

Cool, the advice earlier was to restart

[sinful nest]

Oh nvm

Just realized those were uncommon parts

[dusky cove]

I know Eco and Obsidian are only CM so they're the messenger and I'm trying not to shoot them. That being said I'm really struggling as this arc showcases darn near everything the playerbase has been saying NOT to do despite the warnings of content creators in the leadup to this arcs release. I know Obsidian and Eco are just trying to help but it's hard for me not to be angry when it's further fracturing the group of people I've been playing with for years as scopely seems to favour killing the game over actually perhaps considering that the playerbase knows what they're talking about.

[sinful nest]

The store is rare only

[midnight hatch]

Uncommons will likely appear in refinery tab once artifact gallery is level 50 and artifact is level 15+

[granite gulch]

Mein herz brennt rammstein🤭😂

[sinful nest]

Lol anyone have a recommended crew for those? Also the event isn't long enough. You can't get all the loot you need to get the tokens provided, even with the ENT3 promo code

Like it's not enough tokens to complete the event, even with 5 of them. Should've ran that event for multiple days

[upbeat flax]

It's 46 to 49 as the next system up is a 51 system. People killed the 46s and so you now have to wait

[solid kayak]

when are we get refunds even if we havent bought anything? is that day 2 3 or 18?

[buoyant zenith]

yeah but what a stupid setup, they could at least take fog of war off so you can see

[upbeat flax]

Welcome to the world of scopely where the only thing that matters is $$$$ and everyone else can do one

[gleaming ridge]

yay, another hostile i can't kill! Can't do Xindi 40+, can't do these. Such FUN!

[dusky cove]

Doesn't that summarise the whole xindi arc chains though? Bad design choices followed by even worse while the design makers hold a BBQ with the player feedback.

[ashen briar]

After trying out the 'Silent enemies' I decided, that I'll simply ignore them as I do with the Xindi's. Both are plain ridiculous and a waste of time.

[silver parcel]

was able to finish the sms on one token, hitting 55-57s

[fresh kestrel]

This patch sucks. Everyone's basically in one system racing to hit the same hostiles and just wasting time. Dont know how much patience I'll have for this one.

[silver parcel]

but i'm not repeating that 6.5b trit repair bill each run

[dusky cove]

Perhaps we should make a counter to keep track of how many people quit due the third grind in three months in the "quality over quantity" year?

[sinful nest]

What crew @silver parcel ?

[silver parcel]

janeway doc tucker

[sinful nest]

Cool thanks

[gleaming ridge]

Remember when we complained about how much stuff there was to do, and then they gave us freebooters and we were happy... turns out it was just a big ruse so that they could bug us down with new, not-quite-different, grinds!

[sinful nest]

Although granted, you have like way more powerful ships than me, lmao @silver parcel

[royal plume]

Do we know how long the promo code will be available to redeem for those of us close to getting to 38? @heady moon

Event Calendar for those who like it

[silver parcel]

the loot drop difference between the 55 and the 57 is so low, yet the 57s hit like trucks

and barely any 55 spawn

[open basalt]

Since I can't do this loop, guess I'll do something useful on the game like kill Doomsday Worms.

[mild trout]

48 8-hour speedups? For once, these missions are giving some not completely worthless rewards, congrats would like to see more of that going forward.

[remote ermine]

That’s my issue. I can do 55’s but the 57’s are so deadly. I’m without trip as well 🥲

[elder thistle]

No more grinds!

[grave swan]

Maybe they should fix the other hostiles before they interduce more...even as a 53 with a 53 ship I still takes me like 3 trips of lvl 42 Xindi to get the 20k just to do 1 chest pull let alone doing a max pull....lol

[gleaming ridge]

You know what... I'm ust going to play League of Legends. At least then I know I won't be screwed with stupidity.

[weary pier]

Qtrials in 3 star became unbeatable d as well related to xhindi introduction. Another loop unable to use

[grave swan]

the new Silent already made it in the drop tables I had to kill one earlier today thank god it was reduced to regular hostile levels and only had 50 million power

[sinful nest]

@grave swan if you are doing the aquatic, try

[grave swan]

I'm takling about the regular Xindi..it still takes like 3 trips in my Vor'Cha hitting 42s to get 20k loot

[sinful nest]

Ah, I just use ent e Picard, 5 and ent e data for those

Loot crew

https://tenor.com/view/scopely-money-gif-14124393094162907114

[turbid storm]

the PVE chest rewards for these hostiles could use some improvement. Killing lvl 57s and they dropped -

[mighty kettle]

Anyone else get bumped out of game and now can’t get back in?

[silver parcel]

34 - 55-57 on one token/hull. 520m sanctus with janeway/doc/tucker

There will be more tears after loot boxes in mobile get reclassified to gambling in EU...

[silver parcel]

6.5b trit repair bill

[silver parcel]

34 kills, gave 11 chests

could've at least added the new currency to the boxes

[abstract glade]

But then they have to give us our money back 😜

[grave swan]

PVE chests need redone anyway...they want quality over quanity..how about fixing it so ship blueprints actually drop when you need them....not require having at least one of the ships to smash bigger hostiles to get them to drop

[dense raptor]

https://tenor.com/view/get-smart-maxwell-agent-86-gif-12923944

[grave swan]

It's absurd I'm at lvl 53 with a 53 ship. Halfway into G5 Deep Space and the blueprints that drop is G4 ships. Makes no sense and frankly horrible game design. RNG and low drop rates is one thing but plainly putting things out of reach is just for the $$$$$.

[dull mason]

Remove the Cooldown on Artifacts

[spark epoch]

@heady moon Any reason why you guys still having fix'd the GD Brackets for SMS/SLBs? How can I legit compete at ops 56 with my 330M ship against a 64+ with a 2B+ ship in a hostile grind event. Current event is called "Silent Enemies - SLB". Until you guys pull your head out of your *** I won't be spending a GD penny.

[crude phoenix]

well u can. hit lower.. its the amount of ships killed not the size.

[opal meadow]

No point in tagging him, the lights are on but nobody is home, probably on Monopoly Discord, i hear thats a riot

[spark epoch]

Typical community manager then. Eco wasn't any better

They are trained to knod their head smile at everything without saying a word

[heady moon]

Should be up for 10 days.

[spark epoch]

Or my favorite is they crack jokes in lou of actually providing real information that could be useful to the VAST majority of their players which aren't 61+

They are to busy catoring to the whales that support their coke addiction

[old ferry]

Fix the game

[little oxide]

Does anyone at scopely actually play this game?

[heady moon]

Oh man. Breaking up the brackets is something I'd love to see too. Server population plays a role, but I'll raise it again.

[median cliff]

yes with maxed accounts and everything done - so it is easy!

[light heart]

@terse jackal gotta be honest, I’ve yet to see any quality so far this year. Just three months of quantity. Which is the opposite of what we were assured.

[grave swan]

No cause Digit actually codes the game

[spark epoch]

Well they said they were going to start throwing 61+ in an XSLB for things like this. Where did that idea actually go? My guess in one nostril and out the other.

[dusky cove]

part of the problem is scopely dug a hole where either reds are designed assuming people aren't whales and reds provide zero challenge to dolphines/whales or new content is designed with them in mind (unsurprising as they pay the bills) but people who have no/fewer primes will find the content (darn near) impossible eventually as the disparity between F2P/low spenders and high spenders/whales keeps growing the power disparity due to increasing list of primes, paid officer tiers,....

[karmic wave]

Anybody know if/when we're gunna be able to use these?

[opal meadow]

Endless cash grab Primes have destroyed this game

[grave swan]

You won't cause 51-53 uses rares

[flint ruin]

Yep. It’s not a solvable problem, which is why the game is nearing the end if it’s useful life.

[karmic wave]

Wait, so there another useless currency? Wtf happened to Quality over Quantity.

[crude phoenix]

well and theres ops hunters who have the ops and barely the ship but no research to support it..

[viral trail]

At this rate, there will be no more people to populate the serves. 😂

[grave swan]

each set of levels has their own...it changes again at 54 to whatever....

[dusky cove]

it's a perfectly solvable problem and they've even implemented some of it though I'd say too little and very likely too late. If primes were eventually attainable through in game methods you could keep the power variance at a given ops somewhat under control. The dolamide and the current loop (if it was actually doable) show they know this but they're far too reluctant and tardy in implementing it.

[heady moon]

We ran that 61+ xslb last month...

[slow moss]

Problem with hitting lower is you can't use the parts

[foggy lark]

Does the game work yet?

[grave swan]

and you can't kill the level you require

[spark epoch]

So why didn't that work for all the other SLBs that are being done?

[velvet hill]

Has it ever?

[karmic wave]

Ffs... there goes my 2 free tokens. Guess no event completion for me

[crude phoenix]

doesnt seem to be a problem for every ops 55+ competing in the slb 😉 they all hitting down

[slow moss]

Especially not for completing in an sms where every kill is the same amount t of points

[opal meadow]

Did you get the other free 3 ?

[sinful nest]

There is no way to finish this sms in the new system. I'm ops 49 and can't even touch the 46 hostiles. Also they don't give you enough tokens to finish this event...

[karmic wave]

Free 3? I have 10 that I paid for but, im not touching em.

[grave swan]

yeah but the kill anything is only 1 of the events..the other a SMS requires you kill so many to get a score which at my lvl is 5700 points..which means I need to kill at least 30 51+

[spiral saddle]

what is wrong here

[crude phoenix]

so moving forward scopely also reckons we are chanceless in PVE without spending ;p

[spiral saddle]

stations gone, ships in waves gone

[flint ruin]

Rephrase - it’s not solvable given the business model. When the whales have finished leaving, it’s over…they will wind the game down before making the content more accessible at lower spend levels. And that process is well underway.

[solid kayak]

nothing

[high vessel]

I'm 55 with decent research and a t6 unc and I'm only get 5/6 hostiles per token at level. I don't want to imagine what those people are going through. The loot should just all be uniform instead of 6 different types lol

[pastel knot]

will never happen

[twilit lintel]

Scopley fails at helping players under 35

[tough badge]

Another update, another dumpster fire. Maybe, just MAYBE, consider fixing existing bugs over adding another loop, another grind, another metric tonne of bugs.

[grave swan]

yeah apparently the whales spending large amounts to kill each other wasn't enough so now they are wanting everyone to spend just to do even PVE stuff

[dusky cove]

oh I agree, the past few arcs alone seem to showcase a complete disregard for a sustainable playerbase in favour of absurdly difficult loops which even infuriate the G5 and G6 players

[deep torrent]

I don't have an artifact at level 15 or above, the refinery is blocked for me, I must hit 55 hostiles and above to get the res from hostiles, not possible..... Event over before it started.

[velvet hill]

https://tenor.com/view/angry-mob-riot-torches-pitchforks-gif-5859895

[abstract glade]

Did it ever?

[viral trail]

The funny thing is no one is asking for new content. Just fix the game, and that’s that.

[crude phoenix]

tried the right crew ? https://i.imgur.com/mQi97ZI.jpeg about 15 hostiles with this

[grave swan]

We've been saying that for 2 years.

[summer raven]

can i get more tokens pls

[steel sapphire]

Im cooked with tokens too not enough for what they’re requiring

[viral trail]

For 99.99£ sure thing.

[somber lava]

I am 52, can kill 1 lvl 51 silent per hull. Don't have my building to 50 so no lvl 15 artifacts....what a 💩 arc

[hot dove]

And they are “listening to us”, but just choosing not to do anything about it.

[grave swan]

Cause all the updates ever seem to accomplish is making more stuff to add to the long list of things you already can't complete in a day. And gives whales more super powers with all the primes making the gap between them and regular players even larger.

[heady moon]

Hey peeps! Been on since 5am pst and now my tummy is a rumbling! Going to grab a sammy real quick! Back in like 15 mins.

[main rock]

1 more foot closer to the cliff more will quit I'm sure

[viral trail]

Take the night off. Is not like you can do anything. 🤗

[dusky cove]

Have a nice meal and please don't take the feedback personal, just pass it on to the decision makers please who I hope do take it personal

[fair sentinel]

Amazing.....almost everyone saying the same or similar thing and what we get from Scopely, silence then the complete opposite. ENOUGH ALREADY!

[brittle ivy]

Eco, now we tried out the new feature, it’s pure quantity 😉

[steel sapphire]

If they want this event to be achievable they need to not have tokens to get there

[dusky cove]

or better yet, nerf the reds....

[gleaming ridge]

@terse jackal you want a good feel? its bad. just like xindi was bad. stop introducing loops that are WAY overpowered.

[foggy lark]

What happened to the other CM? What was their name... Something short... Dino? Yamak? Romo?

[crude phoenix]

hence there is a pack with 10 tokens ;x

[little oxide]

@terse jackal please move level 55 players to uncommon…. This is a joke if you expect us to get rare loot

[steel sapphire]

Indeed

[ashen briar]

Domo, I guess. Looks like, he ran away pretty quick. 😂

[grave swan]

isn't 54 rare to? cause they ain't in the 51-53 group....

[whole musk]

What should I say as a level 46 player, can also just use rare loot

[steel sapphire]

Also the brackets are wrong

It should be 50-52 then 53-56

[oak trench]

nah 46-60

[median rapids]

I have too only Vorcha 🤷‍♂️🤪

[opal meadow]

He said he was going for a sandwich too, never heard from him again, must be code

[hot dove]

Keyzer Soze

[steel sapphire]

But I know they want us to buy a 4* epic for 2500 bucks then it’s instantly useless against a 53 uc 🤬

[dry monolith]

This ☝️

[twilit lintel]

code for he been fired or changed his name lol

[oak trench]

err just buy the primes?

[ashen briar]

Or decided, that maybe he doesn't want to have 'worked a longer period of time for Scopely' in his CV 🤷🏼‍♂️😂

[twilit lintel]

woah now thats a lot to spend

[stable cipher]

Scopely said "less quantity and more quality " what a joke
We got another long and expensive grind

[oak trench]

what do you mean its $5k? you peasant. you can afford it. sell a kidney.

[viral trail]

I’m curious where did the inspiration for the Silent Enemies name came from. I bet when they were brainstorming names, they looked at each other in the mirror and thought, "Yep, we're the ultimate adversaries, but we do it with style, silently creeping into the hearts of our enemies!" So, "Silent Enemies" it was, because who needs loud enemies when you can silently sabotage them with a smirk! 🫠

[hot dove]

Considering all they had him doing was collating all the feedback channels, im not surprised he left

[foggy lark]

My dad left for a sandwich once... Once...

[oak trench]

buy primes

[abstract glade]

It's just another loop to sell us new officers cause otherwise it's not makeable

[twilit lintel]

i tell ya child support is high these days lol

[thorn pivot]

There was a game that I played as a kid call Star Wars The Collectible Card Game. It was a fun game with some interesting mechanics. As they added more expansions, they kept increasing the number of mechanics in the game. The game finally reached the point that it became so convoluted that people stopped playing. That seems to be where this game is heading.

[ashen briar]

Greed eventually always leads to a downfall

[placid furnace]

So 4 days for one refine!!!! From 2 tokens daily in store....... 🤣🤣🤣

[opal meadow]

The shredder motor must have been red hot

[thorn pivot]

That's so true.

[mental mauve]

only the whales will be left after this arc Scopely, too bad your greed for profit is killing the whole game 🥲

[high vessel]

I don't pay for the primes that you apparently do regular research is good enough.
That crew would be garbo for me, as my shield is gone before the hostile is down

[jaunty holly]

The refine / kills are stupid for ops 49. I can't even kill 3 per token.

And the event calls for 2200 points of kills.

[placid furnace]

Add that it takes hours to complete not 20 mins as someone so claimed from every hostile is 49 and rarely catch a 46 unhit

[grave swan]

The Silent Enemies are from Star Trek Enterprise Season 1 Episode 12....its literally from the show the arc is about who would have thought

[crude phoenix]

did u do all the g5 related research ? and away team research for ships ?

[foggy lark]

So where are these new hostiles everyone says are impossible?

[velvet solar]

the eff? i killed 12 in one hull with just PMC in a level 42 ship

[jaunty holly]

46 hostiles?

[half shell]

So why isn't there a 4* option for 5g players? Tons of specialty ships need 4* parts, that's just stupid design

[high vessel]

Indeed

[wispy pebble]

So according to this pic i need to hit 57-59 silent hostiles to get 5* rare you having a laugh

[silver parcel]

https://tenor.com/view/bug-starship-troopers-gif-12598393

[crude phoenix]

ex borg research with mitigation ?

[velvet solar]

no just do smaller hostiles. Its token space. if you're slamming yourdick into a wall and wasting tokens on big hostiles thats your fault. Kill more smaller hostiles for places with limited access.b

[silver parcel]

The problem with that is they can't refine for artifacts unless they hit a specific level hostile

[jaunty holly]

42 kelvin t10 Ent E crew with damage bonus below decks. 3 kills of 46 hostiles. 44/41 I can kill 10+

[silver parcel]

Which is the main issue

You're hitting the easy ones and acting like everything is fine

It's not

[jaunty holly]

That doesn't work if you are ops46+ the refinery doesn't use the UC parts.

[foggy lark]

Everything is awesome?

[viral trail]

Are we sure tho the inspiration is from there? 😅

[velvet hill]

Only when you're part of a team!

[high vessel]

Mitigation is at max

[rocky canyon]

@terse jackal not just level 55 players, let us all use uncommon refines

[foggy lark]

Dreamwork makes the team work

[placid furnace]

And do what with the pointless UC g4!? Not to mention a waste of a token

[jaunty holly]

This event needed a diagram with 20 pictures to make sense of how to do it

[silver parcel]

Admire it

Dress it up in a bow

Make it look pretty

[crude phoenix]

ok then the spending part.. Q hostile building lvl ?

[steel sapphire]

So they gave us 5 tokens but it took. 2 to figure out crews and which ones we need to hit

[placid furnace]

Like the countless other unnecessary stuff in our inventories

[frank pike]

Spike crew with bd crit honestly works best, and the best advice I can give is to work with your alliance to build groups for a max fortify and cheeto dust run so you can ignore triangles and everything else.

[zenith coyote]

Just drill a hole in the wall, easy

[long pendant]

dmg exo , cerri , titan buffs used

[foggy lark]

How do you slam it into a wall? Walls are flat... You could smush it against the wall... Or is this some kind of new fangled bending wall?🤔

[keen wraith]

I did that. I die in 4 rounds.

[crude phoenix]

could have read discord for crew science .. we sacrificed our tokens for you ;x

[hard cedar]

This is just another stupid and pointless grind. Not doing it. Scopely out of ideas I guess?

[silver parcel]

honestly their crew suggestions are bunk

[keen wraith]

Well I am...

[crude phoenix]

janeway doc tuck seems to work better ;p

[high vessel]

35

[silver parcel]

yup, got 34 kills that way

[keen wraith]

Dear Scopely - you continue to find ways to make this game unplayable. Perhaps it's time we split up.

[ivory dove]

to keep the balance(so high levels don't intentionally stick to low level systems forever) just decrease the value of low level loot, instead of making it immediately useless...

this doesn't affect me yet, but it could make me hold off on going to ops46...

[viral trail]

Let’s hope that next arc, Discovery, will make up for this mess.

[high dew]

https://tenor.com/view/quality-quality-work-sarcasm-ouch-hammer-gif-12270508

[silver parcel]

need more 55s though, too many 57s that hit harder and only give like 40 more loot

[frank pike]

48 kills, ignored triangle much of the way, came away with 24k rare goobers

[crude phoenix]

maybe thats why.. mine is about 20 levels higher with a bit of spending

You fixed this utter shambles of an arc yet?

An impossible sms for currency for a horrible event store, well this month's off to the usual start.

[steel sapphire]

51-53

[feral canopy]

This whole arc is a holodeck simulation...Riker will pop in at the last mission and shut it all down

[buoyant scarab]

Something is off with the new hostiles. They should have 10% crit chance, yet each hit is a crit.

[steel sapphire]

This news fixing for sure it’s not doable

[foggy lark]

Computer end program? 👀

[steel sapphire]

3 tokens to get 5 51 kills not even enough for a chest pull

[viral trail]

https://tenor.com/view/surprise-surprise-cilla-black-surprise-gif-1052833010603976246

[steel sapphire]

Let alone complete the sms

[crude phoenix]

look at their special abilities

[proven bolt]

They have 100% crit chance, 350% crit damage bonus, 50% crit floor, burning for 6 rounds

[gray lintel]

You may want to hide hammy

[velvet solar]

their special abilities change crit to 100% after the first round

[wispy token]

100% chance to p off 90% of everyone? 😂

[gray lintel]

That's closest I got... So wait for cells tomorrow

Try different crew

[buoyant scarab]

Ok. Can’t see that from battlereport. Where the I says 10% crit chance with 150% crit damage.

lv50+ are swarming silent lv41 system and waiting for smaller ppl spawn certain hostiles for them 🤨

[gray lintel]

Hostile gets 100% crit chance and 350% crit damage every round and burns for 6 rounds

[turbid hound]

Never fails

Everyone release is utter dog 💩

Who doesn't enjoy a new token loop to kill a 100 hostile a day

[zenith coyote]

Where'd y'all get extra tokens from?

[gray lintel]

But only need to kill 25x 51s can't even kill 1

[twilit lintel]

Man i love grinding for hours on this game it brings me so much joy in my life......

[junior basin]

[clever coral]

Im lvl 52 for Exchange in new store i need loot from silent hostiles 51+ how to kill it with newton?

[shell marsh]

Server war!!!!

[high vessel]

Get the tribune and get it to t9

[placid furnace]

How'd you make it hours I killed 5 tokens in 30 mins.... 3 wasted... 2 getting 4 kills and boom... Nothing done sms wise and will take 4 days for 1 redemption!

[solid kayak]

i was thinking pm torres or maybe janeway

[clever coral]

Sure m8 give me your cc number no problem

[high vessel]

Poor planning

[jaunty holly]

This loop is 100% DOA and a flop

[hard cedar]

You would think they would actually PLAY TEST the arc events beforehand but, then again, it is scopely we are dealing with.

[twilit lintel]

idk what this token is must not be for players UNDER OP 35 like the promo code

[quartz plover]

WHere did they hide this new PRIME Critical Evasion ???

[lofty snow]

So this is fake <ops40 content, right? How do I compete in the SLB without an Enterprise (and/or Tucker)? What a joke

[viral trail]

Try this: Janeway, Torres, Lorca BDA: Hugh, Doc, Parris, Odo

[placid furnace]

Oddly enough Tucker doesn't even do a darn thing..... just waste tokens like screen time

[crude phoenix]

janeway and her synergy with torres, doc lowers the dmg incmoing greatly

[viral trail]

This needs be be framed.

[quartz plover]

Doc only lower as of 2nd shot

[ashen briar]

It's a Classic by now, yes 😉

[quartz plover]

paris mitigates from 1st shot

[mossy sundial]

Wow. Really played themself here. So when nothing works that means there was no playtesting. Goooot it.

[vapid solstice]

Still don’t work even with “testing”. They release it and hope for the best

[viral trail]

We are the test subjects.

[vast vector]

Janeway, gg, Tal. Bld: paris, Hugh, tendi. Works great for me

[jaunty holly]

Launch is Alpha, come on yall.

[viral trail]

I stopped $$$ since Xmas. Not worth it anymore

[vapid solstice]

It’s always been a goal in my life to be a guinea pig for a mobile game 😂

[vast vector]

Also can they fix those artifact menus to be inline with the other ones. To much clicking just to find out what the artifacts do.

[hallow iron]

So as a level 39 player, why should i care about this game? monaveen, nope, i need to do territory research more, nx-01, im months away from having the rep to even start getting shards, now this new loop with max ent, much of the relevant research for my level, and 2 damage exocomps on, cant hit the lowest level silent hostile

[jaunty holly]

But wave defense!

[high vessel]

Agreed tucker didn't do anything

Unrelated to hostile killing issues - is there some chance that more items will be added to event store? It seems very.. light on things that were not there before for years.

How is a ops52 meant to kill 51s with my best ship being a Newton lol

[solid kayak]

this gonna take 5 tokens per time for event lol

[twilit lintel]

is it me or did the battlepass loot get smaller

[turbid hound]

I need to kills ops 55 for the conversion pull but can't kill ops 55 ships

[vapid solstice]

Quality over quantity

[hushed raft]

It’s just another get ya wallet out ark thanks £copely

[acoustic grail]

Wait till you see the overflow...

[spice vessel]

they expect us to have a maxed out g4 Epic ship

[turbid hound]

🤡 💩 greedy 🪳💩 over at scopely now

[deep eagle]

The refinery is gated by time and OPs and currency - who the hell cares about tokenizing the systems...

[solid kayak]

looks like ops value is good

[high vessel]

Not to be a bummer but they add 5 years of content to level 39, I don't think it needs to be crowded there anymore

[twilit lintel]

at least they gave 19 days this time

watch most say they missed it lol

WHAT A WASTE OF AN ARC FOR OPS 55

[tawdry glacier]

is there a comp chest going out to 50+ for folks who used tokens and got uncommon not rares?

For every levels...

[gleaming ridge]

remove the ops 55 part, your statement is then correct.

[wraith moat]

@terse jackal this new loop is too hard. T5 northcutt well reseaexh its 220 million and on the silent enemies i can do 3 or 4 hostiles lvl 55 with severus or ent pic crew. 5 tokens used and sms not complete. I cant shoot down either as an ops 55 need rare loot. Perhaps can the ops bands so ops 55 refine uc instead.

[dapper sentinel]

The Artefact tab alleges that I can get rare G6 loot from lvl63-65 Silent hostiles but that is a blatant lie scopely.

[hot phoenix]

I now get a silent hostile in q trial. this was supposed to be hotfixed out?

[flint ruin]

Tiny bit of lat, 1 recruit pull and desealing rods…didn’t we used to get more…?

[dapper sentinel]

Only 64-65 hostiles drop G6 rare.

[wraith moat]

Honestly the whole loop is a pass as it impossible untill i have a t7 g5 ic ship or a t5/t6 g5 rare.

[summer raven]

pls scop give is bit more tokens 😄

[tawdry glacier]

they cant give your tokens back lol thats not fair to the rest of people who waited for it to be fixed.

[somber lava]

more tokens aren't the answer. The entire arc needs to be taken down and revamped.

Scopley's goal this arc is see how much money we can get people to spend

[solid kayak]

tokens should be max 100 and give 7 a day change my mind!!!

[weary pier]

Agreed - I hope they give everyone 4 tokens back

[weary pier]

Well change the whole loop setup, reset and give everyone their tokens back

[somber lava]

4 more tokens won't help me. I can only kill 1 per hull

[tawdry glacier]

they should add a conversion 1:1 from 5* uncommon to 5* rare

[tawdry glacier]

i can kill 21 a hull

[somber lava]

if they just made it so there wasn't a level requirement. All of the hostiles drop the same type of rss and how well it refines was based on your level

[viral trail]

You left out o couple of 00. Probably they do it but as 1:100. Or 1:500 😂

[tropic oak]

Stuck at 70% and it is not going anywhere. Anyone know what to do?🫤

[solar drift]

@terse jackal Out of tokens, 20 points short of last milestone, 😂😭, and 5th in the SLB, did anyone think about balance in this event? 5th and last milestone not complete!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[weary pier]

That’s an option but it needs to be behaved as well so you don’t require on obscene amount as ops 55 which you can achieve with the tokens you get daily

[turbid hound]

It takes a special type of self absorbed 🤡 💩 to make an impossible arc

[dapper scaffold]

Level 63s having to kill level 46 silent hostiles shows good game design.

[broken sigil]

If this is helpful. Ops 46 t6 vald. Today's results. I needed hugh even with Janeway as without it went from 9 rnds to 17 rnds

[round parcel]

so if we need 5* but cant get 5* are we just screwed this arc?

[twilit lintel]

i would love some porter house steak right now but not well done mine gotta be pink in the middle and if's its good no need for a1 steak sauce

[remote ermine]

I have a g5 rare at T4. I don’t have tucker either. One 57 takes half ish hull. This is stupid

[sterile fox]

These 46s pack a hefty punch... Val does not do well.

[broken wadi]

@heady moon so the silent hostiles chests don't drop thier loot? just basic stuff. kinda bad form there. is that supposed to be the case or was something miscoded?

[turbid hound]

Ops 55 can't kill ops 55 hostile therefore can't farm rare loot and can't get anywhere in the arc.

Stupid doesn't even cover this 🤡 💩

[sterile fox]

Use the 46 systems, which also drop rare.

Redacted due to stupidity.

[heady moon]

I got a chest, but I don't think the disruptors come in the chest that they drop.

[golden cliff]

It would be really nice to at a minimum guarantee 5 of the new prime particle from that Temporal Exchance refinery. Those particles not being a guarantee is really sad for how difficult this loop is

[sterile fox]

Only ship parts.

[turbid hound]

Rare only comes from lvl 55+ it says

I got 0 rare form 51 and 53s

Bro thats 4*

[sly warren]

lol

[sterile fox]

Oops, sorry 😅

[turbid hound]

Keep up, I'm ops 50 I need 5*

[broken wadi]

with as hard as the loop is already. that woudl at least make a slight bit better. I got nothing but basic kumari ship bps.

[lyric haven]

Yep horrible advice. 4* vs 5*

[sterile fox]

System is filled with other Ops50s on this server, sorry haha

[tawdry glacier]

easy 😛

[turbid hound]

Easy with a g5 rare

[heady moon]

I think that's good feedback. Will pass on!

[tawdry glacier]

i skipped g5 uncommons. wasnt worth it tbh

[remote ermine]

It’s really not easy automatically with a g5 rare.

[turbid hound]

Well it's apparently not possible with a corvus at ops 55

[dapper scaffold]

Easy with a maxxed ship, too bad my scrap yard eats them all.

[sterile fox]

Can you also feed back that the event store pales in comparison to previous months? End of arc stores usually include the ship from the arc, and way more officers...

[shell marsh]

Well I might as well not even try with my t8 Val

Looks like another blunder

[mild trout]

Yeah that’s an extremely limited officer pool this event store

[sterile fox]

T8 Val getting me here...

[heady moon]

Yup. Heard a lot of mentions about the NX. Personally, I was happy to see all the cloaks, but get wanting the arc ship too.

[sterile fox]

Cloaks are much less useful in the grand scheme.

[mortal spire]

@heady moon OH, normally i dont complain but the 5 tokens given we have to try out crews is not enough to finish the sms. i normally have no issue but im only half way and out of tokens because i've had to try multiple different crews. The suggested crew does not work work for all LVL.

[opal meadow]

Into one ear and out of the other

[remote ermine]

I have a T4 rare. No tucker and a 57 takes half hull. The 55’s don’t spawn enough either

[shell marsh]

Jeez that high hard

Hit

[umbral vigil]

Meanwhile the S31 Disco refit..

[sterile fox]

It did, but Doc takes all that hull damage away 😅

[turbid hound]

How about gelling them not to alienate their player base with self absorbed content releases

[high vessel]

Other than it looks 😎 it doesn't really give any benefit

[opal meadow]

While you are passing things on, print this out and spray them around the office

[dapper scaffold]

Cloaking is for dishonorable cowards. No NX bps makes this yet another waste of an arc.

[turbid hound]

So in other words they are 🧠 dead incompetent

[umbral vigil]

I'd like to complete it since I've had half forever.
Plus extra crew shards and access to Lorca especially is still useful

[shell marsh]

We are the test server it never made it to alpha.

[heady moon]

For Klingons, I agree! For Romulans its a brilliant battle tactic!

[turbid hound]

Lol 211m Corvus at t4 is not ops 55 research is it?

[opal meadow]

Try 55s

[high vessel]

Don't expect a lot of Lorca shards

[turbid hound]

Sure let me figure out that additional 40m in research real fast

[tawdry glacier]

he said he can kill 2 of them.

[terse meadow]

Any mod home to even say.. we heard you?

[tawdry glacier]

we ascended like 2-3 weeks ago to 51+

[twilit lintel]

they went to make sandwiches

[slim sierra]

No. And shouldn't you have been split back into Tuvok and Neelix by now?

[high vessel]

53 hostiles will help you finish the sms, for the junk event store, but the loot won't help you till you hit 55s. Just wasting tokens

[terse meadow]

Hmmm ... Evasive maneuver... What patern is this...? 🤔

[turbid hound]

How much prime research does it take to get a t4 corvus to 211m power

[queen owl]

All of the above

[hard sorrel]

pull pin, throw, walk away

[turbid hound]

Yeah seems like an unrealistic screenshot

[gilded finch]

hi.. what do we do with g4 temporal arrifacts parts if ww are ops 51 and above?

[candid quarry]

Neelix delta Tuvok 3.

[silver parcel]

admire them

[queen owl]

Probably 60+

[silver parcel]

then ignore them

[gilded finch]

what a waste..

[turbid hound]

Also waa the screenshot taken before it finished loading not showing full damage taken

[formal depot]

This is a t6 corvus at 54

[twilit lintel]

why would this trash even be on here

[tranquil goblet]

@Eco#1936 Scopley event scoring is broken on Temporal Artifact Hunt SMS

[twilit lintel]

its without the numbers

[tranquil goblet]

I bought the pack to un open 2 artifact and got nothing in sms points

[gray lintel]

Wake me up when events reflect average players not people with maxed ships as soon as they are built

[royal plume]

Awesome thank you

[tawdry glacier]

happy now? lol

[twilit lintel]

good?

there're no good blueprints this time

[clever coral]

Huge dissapointment this arc is...

[light mason]

ok i know everything's chaotic at the moment with crew combo's and such, but if i'm a kori hitting the 46-49, wouldn't a crew of snw spock tlaan chen againt interceptors make sense? they fire 6 energy 6 kinetic each and every round. spock have a decrease crit by 15% and you get the chen and tlaan damage reduction as well which would mean lower crit damage. anyone try this? sorry. i know the chat is very active so i'm sure i'm late to the party.

[abstract glade]

@terse jackal You brought the lag back now, is this an new arc feature?

[twin acorn]

It's not even subtle money grabbing anymore. A whole BP even based around hostiles hardly anyone can destroy. Thanks scopely, you don't even have the courtesy to offer up NX shards in the event store!

[modest echo]

@heady moon for the new loop it would greatly help lower players (as in not having 56+ ship) if Phlox officer ability (which is a negate of HGWorf ability) actually worked on hostiles too. If the players could do the 2 heroic sms events and unlock him, they could run with Pike Moreau Phlox and negate critical chance of Silent hostiles, thus being able to kill them much easier. There might be some reason why you made him pvp only officer, but it might alleviate some pressure if he was also able to affect Silent and Xindi hostiles

[jaunty holly]

If this is how events going forward are going to look, this game is dead in a month. Probably EoS in a year.

[chilly cypress]

Yay bugs

[broken sigil]

Well somehow they managed to bring us neither quality or quantity. I suppose we could see that as improvement? 🤔

[twilit lintel]

oh i see new stuff in the faction store hmm

.........avatars

[jovial rivet]

Just some comparisons, Hugh Paris LD...

[golden cliff]

Cloaks are nice, but at 600k, or 800k event store loot, they won't be able to be fully unlocked this arc. Especially since loot is being locked behind the silent enemies event and many players are having issues completing that

[heady moon]

Totally agree with this. Might be hard to get that change, but I'd love to have PvE Phlox type officer.

[ruby turtle]

did waves get fixed?

[graceful crater]

@terse jackal @heady moon The event is, even with the additional 3 warp token, not finishable. Can you please throw at least 2 more out?

[fathom flower]

Nothing gets fixed here

They just send out new shiny stuff that distracts the players from the broke nonsense

And this new stuff isn't even shiny. They polished a turd and said it was gold

[spiral viper]

Why is it ok to say "Hell" in mission text but Hell is censored in game chat? I mean seriously? that's pretty much stupid

[ruby turtle]

so they're just ignoring the fact that waves are broken? Or has there been an update on it? Can't do my pulls...

[tiny tendon]

Working as intended is the gist of eco's comments on waves. Of course the intentions are to disappoint anyone who doesn't spend thousands a month,

[fathom flower]

Trust me they disappoint the spenders too

[ruby mica]

Saved, this image will serve me well on this discord in the coming months

[solar drift]

@terse jackal it would be a good gesture to soften the blow to gift a few more tokens, and I don't mean the gift being in the store to buy! The silent enemy even doesn't seem very balanced and to put a new hostile type in token space isn't fair.

[fathom flower]

It's why most don't use the g6 ships and hundreds of spenders are just walking away

[willow tendon]

so how do we use the uncommon temporal disruptor parts?

[fathom flower]

In the artifact area

[vagrant vapor]

i really appreciate the quality over quantity in pt3 of this arc. fantastic!

[fathom flower]

Not the refinery. Click the artifact building

[opal plover]

Let's try this again @everyone ! Comcast seems to be behaving, so we're gonna try to giveaway some free STFC battlepasses before it acts up again! All you have to be doing is following on Twitch and be in chat!

https://twitch.tv/revdeuce

[fathom flower]

Why would I want that rev? Scopely is actively trying to drive out players

[willow tendon]

I only have the ability to use rare temporal exchange

[golden cliff]

You need to get loot from the level 46-50 hostiles, the uncommon loot is no good for your ops

[flint ruin]

Nothing to fix - working as intended.

[fathom flower]

You see the temporal exchange?

[fathom flower]

Uncommons can't be refined past a certain ops lvl

[heady moon]

Totally get this. Been hearing how difficult the sms is for some peeps. I can ask, but might be tricky...

[wraith moat]

@terse jackal exception eerror 200 in wave defence. System wont load so thats broke as well. Cheers one less rhing to do tonight. Break everything and i can log off.

[abstract glade]

Cause it works like intended?

[fathom flower]

Just as I can't refine rare, I have to refine g6. But scopely made the warp longer than my ship has and I can't upgrade it more unless I spend more money. Which isn't happening for this absolute dumpster fire of a release

[vagrant vapor]

there are packs for those tokens

[long gyro]

Im Ops level 55. I had to decide to finish sms event or refine silent loot. Now I have 4* loot I cant use. Thhhhaaaaaaaaaannksss

[reef lagoon]

I am a level 52 what hostile do I kill and with what crew?

[willow tendon]

who the hell thought that it was ok to restrict us like this

[vagrant vapor]

you need to kill 51+ hostiles, which you most likely can't

Edit: to be able to exchange in store. for the sms you can do lower.

[crude phoenix]

https://i.imgur.com/FWEog22.jpeg titan and cerritos buffs.. @heady moon we need more lvl 55 hostiles .. we can hardly kill those let alone the 57's ;p u ran out of these things fast just soloing a system.

[fathom flower]

51+ and most of my guys are finding good luck with Severus crew with max synergy and hugh Paris boimler BD

[reef lagoon]

I have a 61M tallos

[abstract glade]

Then forget it

[timber valve]

When you see ops 59 people hitting the lowest hostiles, you know someone at Scopely screwed up bad

[vagrant vapor]

my 110m corvus can kill 1 lvl 51 hostile there, but maybe i'm just weak

[fathom flower]

Yeah won't happen for you. So again scopely went ahead and scopleyed some players

[flint ruin]

You’re toast. All you can do is ignore the event…

[reef lagoon]

Great

[long gyro]

Cr*p

[stray pawn]

So much for battle triangle 😂

[smoky sinew]

New scopely objective is how to make the arcs worst and worst

[heady moon]

Hear that! I'm hunting 55s too and we could use more.

[abstract glade]

Try with full fortification, pike Moreau and tucker, lower deck hugh Torres and another

[fathom flower]

Try Janeway doc and trip. I hear some are getting better results in g5 ships with that.

[fathom flower]

Why is the 61 system 950 warp when the first 61 systems in regular space 900?

[timber valve]

I mean, they're going for a F score easily this arc. Early unexpected end of arc store with meh offerings, and a horrible loop added.

[fathom flower]

I have 914 and can't reach to kill what I gotta kill, and scopely ain't getting any money with this release

[vagrant vapor]

yeah, max everything out for a few hostiles, rinse and repeat. no thank you. i'll return when i can at least make some progress.

[fleet halo]

thanks for 3 loops in 3 months 👍 quality over quantity works great lol

[fading crow]

Random question but is anyone else getting a green flash when they swap between chat and galaxy/ system screen whilst playing pc?

[reef lagoon]

Can I use Hug below decks against these hostile?

[graceful crater]

yea

[heady moon]

Good question. Will see what I can find out.

[fathom flower]

You can but with a 61 mil talios you won't kill what you need to refine

[mellow lake]

Anyone else can’t log in?

[fathom flower]

Well while you do that eco asked for an update after trying the new content. Can't try it so gonna call it bad

[opal meadow]

Let us know how tough they are when you get there 🤣

[fathom flower]

Maybe by the end of the arc if I get enough mats and rss, cuz I'm not spending to do it. The arc isn't good enough

[reef lagoon]

Should I hit battle ships or interceptors?

[heady moon]

Wait. Are you saying that regular level 61 systems are 900 and the new one for the silent hostiles is 950?

[fathom flower]

Yes

[solid umbra]

So im getting BLUE temporals in 51 system. But its labbelled uncommon? Wtf?

[crude phoenix]

gonna need some emergency rebalancing here .. a compensation chest is not gonna cut it. My suggestion is scrap the entire divide in loot .. and make it one currency with increased pulls the higher the ops level. @heady moon think this is the least invasive procedure here ..

[pseudo gorge]

Congrats on another disasterous start to an arc Scopely. Top marks.

Rotarran is currently warping to the first system at 900 warp range. And it's 914 doesn't get me to the 950 needed for the silent system

[fathom flower]

It's not even quality if you're a spender

[vagrant vapor]

yikes 😬

[fathom flower]

Go watch revs interview with the guys from early servers about g6 content. I been in this game since launch this is my 2nd server. Second time above lvl 50. Now lvl 61 and I can tell you since day 1 till now. The first 3 yrs were far and away better than the last couple

[vagrant vapor]

yeah, i've been here 5 years. it's no longer the same

[worn pumice]

What is the recommended hostile crew including lower decks in order to take on the lowest level of silent hostiles for this month?

[opal meadow]

Last 2 years coincide nicely with all the cash grab Primes that have ruined this game for sure

No longer need skill, just throw $$$ into it

[exotic gulch]

That’s one for the bridge (no idea what was under) but Rev is recommending everything that gives crits

[oak basin]

they literally told us in the patch notes

[thorn plinth]

Lol 63,s buzzing around in the silent newbie zone should be fun.

[oak basin]

well, except LD. LD is mar/tend/hugh

odo if you have him

[spark cave]

I still can’t get past the forever adjusting screen to play

[oak basin]

[spark cave]

I wish I could get help instead of cruel jokes

[oak basin]

do the basics, if on phone, clear cache & data for the app, if that doesn't work, uninstall, reboot, reinstall, if that doesn't work, harass support. if on pc, uninstall, reboot, reinstall, harass support, if on mac, same as pc but also ask apple for your wallet back and hide it before scopely get hold of it.

[vagrant vapor]

how long have you waited? it usually downloads a ton of stuff in the background there, took 5+ minutes at work to start today after update.

[spark cave]

30min

[hybrid vector]

Anyone have a crew for the kelvin that can work for the new hostiles? I tried Snw pike Snw uhura Lorca with no success.

[elder wave]

So... As a level 47 player, is there no option to refine Uncommon Temporal Disruptor parts?

[vagrant vapor]

unless you have a really poor connection, that should have been well enough then 😞

[oak basin]

if you don't have tucker, severus/decius/charvanek, hit bb's. mar/tend/hugh/odo LD

[lyric haven]

No

[lament slate]

Nope they completely made this loop trash

[hallow orbit]

there is literally nothing different about the Temporal Disruptor token used to pull the artifact shards; every Temporal Artifact uses the same Temporal Disruptor token, only the Temporal Disruptor Parts tokens change, so whats the point of having a 4* and a 5* version, never mind uncommon and rare, if they get converted into the exact same thing? its just insane. Remove the grade stamp on them, no other artifact token has a seperation by grade, theres literally no need for it. I'd love to hear the BS excuse for this, unless somebody over there wants to grow a spine and say "Yeah, we just did that to force spending" Quality my a$$. @terse jackal @heady moon

[lament slate]

Quality my rear end. Xindi-rep > xindi aquatics > silent. And Xindi-rep was already a big fat zero.

[soft mica]

Anyone have any experience with getting a in game refund of lat for accidentally repairing a ship?

[burnt wasp]

no hope

[lament slate]

Lol i wish, done that once too many times by my fat finger

[remote ermine]

Yes, the incursion before last I put in a ticket about it and got my lat back within 2 hours

[thorn plinth]

Did the ship get repaired?

Thanks will try

[soft mica]

well opened a ticket, full Vor Char repair goes for about 4.5 mil lat if anyones wondering...

@heady moon Are there any plans to adjust the event store please? It's happened in the past and this event store is very poor, not even NX-01 shards

[old arrow]

Have u tried crews from patch notes?

[maiden blaze]

i have a suggestion to imprve the game: more loops, while being forced to play not efficient. its nice that a ship is destroyed after 5-6 kills to collect points bc of needed hostile level

[torn edge]

My silent ship loot has disappeared

[terse meadow]

me...on those silent things....🤣🙈

[oak basin]

yeah but only if you've got nvg's on, and scopely haven't released that prime yet

[fickle vapor]

Idk how about you but I have lvl 47 , and killing 46 lvls of silent hostiles gives me something like 4k loot. For 1 chest pull I need 3k

[torn edge]

"Latinums" . . . . Bruh

[maiden blaze]

need to hit lvl55. not spawning so often while 10 players hunting them. with 57 5-6 kills

[heady moon]

I can check. But if it has happened in the past, its usually pretty rare. Hearing a lot of asks for NX bps

[fickle vapor]

But I don't get idea of locking loot(on 47 lvl I can only use lot from hostiles 46-49) , 41 -44 lvls hostiles loot are garbage

[sterile parcel]

This is great. I’m ops 52 and can only kill the G4 reward silent enemies so can’t do an exchange in the artefact store 🤦

[hallow orbit]

They just phoned this one in as far as I can tell, while its ncie to be able to get a full unlock of a G4 rare cloack now, there is very little else in there thats been asked for REPEATEDLY. Its pretty much a dead feature at this point without some adjustments on their part, same old same old.

[oak basin]

today's e-store curency event doesn't even bode well for the accessabiliy of the dissapointing options for non-spenders, tbh. a whole bunch of folk won't even be able to get near completing any event that involves the new hostiles.

[hallow orbit]

yup, bad design and awful implementation

[oak basin]

well it is a specialty ship for jem hadar solo armadas, not a main-use ship that you'd normally go grinding with, and t3's pretty low strength anyway

[stark fjord]

its the stronges ship I have too

[twilit lintel]

that moment facebook took 160k people offline for a few hours

[hallow orbit]

Defiant doesn't deserve the name, complete joke of a ship and an embarrassment to the DS9 namesake.

[quasi ember]

universal translator frame, but no universal translator in the game.

[twilit lintel]

wish discord had one

[twilit lintel]

They're all making fun of him even the rich are lol

[oak basin]

that being the case you're lower ops level than scopely are targeting the new stuff at. if it makes you feel any better i'm only getting 5-6 hostiles per hull with a t7 valdore @ 23.5mil strength, they seem to have aimed it at upper 40's and 50+ ops players, and spenders who'll pay the daft prices they charge for officer unlocks.

[dull mason]

The Old Bugs are still here... 🤦🏼‍♂️

[heady moon]

While I like seeing Archer and Trip, agree that there could be more officers. I do really like seeing the cloaks don't think we've had a selection like that ever? I can pass this on.

[quasi ember]

dont think we ever got the 2024 new years frame either

[unkempt bobcat]

Should I not also have the uncommon temporal exchange? I'm ops 49... What's the point of ever killing the 41-44, then if I cant redeem them?

[dull mason]

Remove the Cooldown ASAP it's an unfair matrix
@heady moon

[maiden blaze]

a login cool down would be great

[unkempt bobcat]

@heady moon see above, why am I missing the uncommon exchange?

[turbid hound]

This is such trash, scopely got their last dollar from me over this

I won't even be buying the 20$ battlepass

[oak basin]

maybe they could apply a cooldown to some of the bugs

[thorn fjord]

Because you’re into Rare, ie Ops 46, territory

[unkempt bobcat]

but that makes no sense, I spent all my tokens killing 41-44's for the sms today (Which I still havent finished because the benchmarks are insane even with my newton), and I have a ton of uncommon mats to redeem but cant?

[heady moon]

Separated by ops level. Sounds like you're on rare so you need to go to your ops level system which is listed on the temporal disruptor exchange.

[unkempt bobcat]

Okay, but the 46s chew through my ships right now (Still figuring out crews), and the SMS is unattainable.

[thorn fjord]

Basically no down punching

[worthy current]

Most people can't kill the hostiles necessary to obtain the loot they need rendering this concept pointless.

[unkempt bobcat]

That's communicated terribly

How on earth is this new mechanic fun in any way as to encourage people to play more and enjoy what they are doing? This is worse than the xindi scrap debacle.

[heady moon]

Yup. And that's what I've been passing on. If you're lower on the ops scale, its going to be tricky. I'm letting the team know.

[shell marsh]

Those hositles are next lvl I got to many grinds anyway. Screw that crap

[turbid hound]

Any word on not screwing ops 55 players?

Burned 3 tokens to get 1 single lvl 55 hostile kill

[oak basin]

i was gonna say it's a sales tactic to get people to buy a tucker unlock, but he's not even in the store atm

[turbid hound]

Don't spend a single dollar

[dull mason]

Quid LoL 😂

[shell marsh]

Ya I spent on Borg cube and nx o1 both were a fail imo

This time nope

[solid umbra]

Cant even kill 1 ship.

[shell marsh]

This is xindi all over

[worthy current]

There is literally nothing fun about this loop both in process and in reward.

[solid umbra]

Garbage

[shy sequoia]

When even ops 65 are in the low lvl system hunting these new demon spawn ships because they're just so o.p. it's ridiculous. Have used 4 tokens and not even close to 3/4 done with this absurd even. Bye Felicia.

[turbid hound]

Such an out of touch 🧠 dead response

Just go higher up derp

[dusky cove]

NX-01 would be appropriate since it's part of the arc, I can't see it as I have it but I hope it also has the cube. Would also be nice if the systems only spawned their specific level so the 46 system isn't swarmed with 49's 😅

[urban needle]

The Ops Level systems are really bad balanced and people get upset more and more. This aint working Out and I totally Unterstand everyone who stops paying or playing because of this continuous mess we get thrown at.

[turbid hound]

Honestly they going to lose players over this 100%

[old arrow]

@heady moon man I give u a clap for being rhe mod on arc release day, I can't imagine the headache u guys get. And on that note I will prolly be retiring from captains chair and moving on to other games this has gotten way to out of hand for enjoyment. Gl to u sir

[turbid hound]

Last 2 grinds they added were utter insults to the players

[shell marsh]

Only ops 44 anyways I got so much to do. This isn't worth the repairs or trit

[kind nexus]

I mean, there are people with g5 ships struggling, and I'm a 52 with a pilum...

[turbid hound]

This is just greed and ego and stupidity of the fhe highest levels

[fickle vapor]

Relax guys soon will be new buffs bundle that improve killing those hostiles. It will cost only 150£ / month🤣

[kind nexus]

I can't even begin to participate in the new content, and probably wont for a while by the sounds of some of the newer 53's not having a great time with it

[worthy current]

You make a good point. The tactic is to increase player frustration as much as possible and then release the "solution".

[stray pawn]

It’s got nothing to do with low Ops levels as it’s just as pointless at high Ops level. It’s an incredibly poorly designed loop

[heady moon]

https://tenor.com/view/thank-thanks-thank-you-thanks-man-thanks-dude-gif-19454682

I find it hard to believe Ppl go after schools but not EA and scopely

[solid umbra]

Im 55. Need rare. Cant kill 1 ship. I think yall trolled us with thise crew suggestions

[oak basin]

and as with most online games, it's also to annoy non-spenders into leaving in the hope that they'll get replaced by a spender

[worthy current]

But this is annoying spenders as well. Most of us literally cannot participate in this arc as we can't get the loot to enjoy the rewards.

[sharp egret]

Im 52. I have Pillum. I basically have to stay out of this loop until next month. I tested few crews and it is not working

[shy sequoia]

It's not just the crews, it's the o.p. ships that crit and burn like nothing else.

[thorn narwhal]

F2P dont add to the bottom line....we just occupy resource

[broken wadi]

as opposed to making a game that people want to support. which would be way harder lol

[minor osprey]

So it is "Heroic"? 🤣

[solid umbra]

Wheres the quality of life arc???

[turbid hound]

Remember that time scopely patronized us not 70 days ago and since then has utterly disrespected their player base no less than 3 times with garbage releases

[worthy current]

Team response, "Working as intended. Keep your head down and continue taking bullets."

[thorn narwhal]

We have lv 40/41's with maxxed g3 - and cant yet get anything else - and just wasted 2 tokens not killing a lv41 Silent. They are frustrated and some thinking of chucking the game in after last months Xindi Aquatic they also couldnt kill

[hallow orbit]

Typically the cloaks have only ever been half unlock so the full unlocks for them is appreciated for sure, but yeah very much lacking in every other area lol missing a bunch of ship skins at very least.

[sharp egret]

Only save for me is if they add Whip in event store

[wanton root]

Full cloak unlocks being available is pretty pointless when we can't finish the event that gives the currency for said cloaks.

[heady moon]

Which crew are you using?

[solid umbra]

All the suggested ones.

[tender dome]

@terse jackal. why bother naming these events around StarTrek, why don’t you just name them “Stupid Scoply Money Grab”. that way everyone doesn’t get the false hope that they will have fun playing

[solid umbra]

And even if i can kill 1, i cant do a "pull" nor is it worth it as its peanuts towards the event.

[oblique forum]

try janeway the doktor and Data E below hugh tendi becket and odo

[sharp egret]

Try this

[solid umbra]

This has been tried, didnt wrk

[solid umbra]

Sev crew worked best. But u need.mitigation
Boimler paris hugh.below gave best results

But still.trash as most 55s cant hit there system

[sharp egret]

yy. i didnt check below deck

top one should take it in 4 rounds

[stray pawn]

No it isn’t it’s actually harder. For example I’m 55 and have to hit 55’s to refine, but a 52 can hit 51’s and still refine. A50 can hit down to 46 etc. Those at 60 can’t even reach the system

[solid umbra]

Player count and purchases bout to drop

[fallow lodge]

So I can only farm a resource that is useless to me, since I cannot kill the 55+ which is expected of me (I'm OPS 55)... So I cannot participate in that loop at all. Which is frustrating because there are events attached to it...

Who is designing such stuff? Seriously, this is a new low.

almost. Ops 52.

[tranquil tinsel]

Wow. Well I’m not gonna be able to complete this Into the unknown event. Used 3 tokens now and only just completed the first level. These hostiles are just too hard. Oh well. Looks like this arc is lost on day one.

[ebon temple]

this event store need a major overhaul. it must be the worst 'stocked' event store yet.

give us more officers

Another big failure of scamely. Arc sucks

[turbid hound]

Scopely would rather act with zero dignity and alienate their player base after openly patronizing us not 70 days ago

[stark fjord]

so why is the slb blank for me ops 39 and server 16

[vapid solstice]

Their yachts and private islands aren’t going to pay for themselves.

[serene drum]

You see ops 50 or higher kill the lvl 41 44 silent hunters to compete in event

[stark fjord]

one other in my aliance said is was blank for them too

[sterile parcel]

I’m in the same boat being ops 52 and having a Newton. Can’t kill the hostiles. This is mega frustrating yet again

[sharp egret]

Yes. we need to use this arc to get to 63. that is it. it is not helping that it is event month. For us there is nothing in event sotre too

Only Whip if added can do something for us

[gleaming ridge]

level 42, no shipyard 42 yet, only a max augur, can't kill even 1 of the lowest level 41 hostiles.

[turbid hound]

Should we be glad the event store is an insult so that not finishing the sms doesn't matter

[sharp egret]

the same trax. im just 52. we have no way to do anything just relax

[turbid hound]

@terse jackal does scopely even care they ruined the game or yall just towing the line for greed and stupidity

[ripe compass]

This is the worst mo ther fe cking arc ever, Sco have no idea what the fe ck they are doing or how much they have just alienated the players. I have played this game from before day 1 and this is the first time I have ever really thought about deleting it.

[gleaming ridge]

i still can't beat the 41 xindi yet either XD These last 2 loops they added in are just unrealistic for most of the playerbase

[dusky cove]

this arc is bad but I'll still argue the january xindi arc was even worse

[gleaming ridge]

i still felt like i could do SOMETHING with that arc though... at least they had the 34s/35s that I can do a hell-grind on.

[dull mason]

Exactly the Same with Wave Defense, it's useless to me

Yup scamely think only on dollars

[gleaming ridge]

only 12 people on my server in the 40-42 bracket have even managed to kill these new hostiles. TWELVE. Out of HUNDREDS of active players. We're looking at less than 10%, maybe less than 5% of the people are able to participate

[sterile parcel]

Another borked release

[cobalt echo]

The first time in this game that you can loot something and actually have no use for it. Dumbest loop ever. I'd rather have another useless 100 Euro ship shoved into my face.

[fierce shale]

@heady moon.....
So here's something you can take to your overlords at Scopley. Pretty Crapweasel thing they did with this new artifact silent enemy farce.
I find out after the fact that anything picked up in systems lower then 51 can't be refined. Which means I wasted time, resources and money because some inconsiderate slobs at Scopely can't be bothered to put fourth clear information and explanation of the new loop. What ships I have either can't reach or not powerful enough for the level 51+ systems. Which means time spent in the 41/46 systems were a waste of my time, resources and money. This new loop is worse then the last two but at least with the other two loops. I was able to eek out enough to gain something from them.
This new loop is indictive of Scopely's continued philosophy of urinating on players with lack of information. Had I known what I was up against, I wouldn't have spent the money as I did on this months Arc. I was cutting back the money I spend each month. After this latest stunt, I'm cutting off the money. Won't even spend $20 on the Battle Pass anymore. Strictly a free to play player now. So as the eyes an ears for Scopely, let em know that I'm not the only one upset over this an much more when it comes to the game. Having read many comments hear as well as in other forums, Scopely didn't just put another nail into their coffin but with today's screw up. They managed to drive a handful of nails into their coffin.

[lethal cedar]

Lol. Your point may be valid but just randomly making up numbers doesn't help that point.

[keen sleet]

@unborn urchin this is by far the worst thing you have done. This new loop is ridiculous. Did you even test it with live players?

[small void]

I've done three of them - one worked the other two crashed the game - haven't tried since

[late elk]

Im assuming he saw 12 ppl on his SLB

Idk if that qualifies as making up numbers if so 😆

The 100s part possibly more so 😆

[lethal cedar]

I'm still waiting for the "reducing the grind" that was promised like a year or more ago. Literally all they have done since they said that, was increase it 🙄 I ignore so much stuff now because it's just not fun.

[indigo tangle]

I'm sure they tested it with their dev accounts with maxxed ships, research, ft, etc.

[late elk]

As a 55 who can’t kill the 55s, it’s easy for me to skip 😆

[lethal cedar]

If you're going to come in here with rational arguments and reasonable assumptions then I just can't talk to you 😅

[hallow orbit]

At Ops 52 its really not, 5 or 6 kills is not going to be a long term option to keep this viable and when thats barely enough for a single chest pull this is going to be a 10 day grind to unlock 1 single artifact. Honestly it needs some MAJOR adjustments and the material grades need to be dropped.

[indigo tangle]

#🌌-galaxy-chat message

[signal pewter]

Their major adjustments is for us to buy packs to upgrade our ships to do their bs

[worthy current]

What we need to do is make a discord that includes players from all servers, not managed by Scopely, where we can coordinate leverage against their poor treatment of their player base.

[late elk]

Idk why they think introducing extremely tough hostiles for a daily grind adds anything meaningful to our game experience

[keen sleet]

Well, not buying the battle pass this month in protest

[jade narwhal]

In theory this idea is a good one but the execution was terrible

[indigo tangle]

We can't even get people on their own servers to agree on anything, let alone each server.

[green ginkgo]

This has definately reduced the grind as I am lucky if I can kill 1 hostile per token

[heady moon]

DM'd you.

[high vessel]

Big boys don't listen

[gleaming ridge]

there is a website that can show you the amount of players in a level range on your server... and yes i took the 12 from the SLB

[turbid hound]

Even though they program the game to want every moment of your day and refuse to reduce grinds even though they make no advertisement revenue based on player count

[jade narwhal]

I mean I can't even kill more than one with a tier 6 valdore at my level

[worthy current]

Usually most whales are part of the largest alliances on a server. They are the players most impacted by this garbage. They stand to lose the most in their game play through Scopely's tactics.

[sterile mountain]

I'll take a stab at the thinking.

Eco/Scopely has previously said they didn't expect everyone to aim 10 levels below their ops for the Xindi loop and wanted it to be a "challenge" where they fought their own ops level hostile. So it was seen as a kind of design failure that people were aiming so low.

So rather than realize that they made it impossibly difficult and tone it down this time, they instead created a mechanic that actually prevented people from hitting outside their target zone because the reward wasn't what they needed. This way a 56 would be forced into the 55-57 systems as appropriate and have to figure out a way to get enough loot from those hostiles.

Basically: players figured out how to win at the first Xindi loop by using surveys and the Ent-E crew, then figured out the Leslee crew on the second Xindi loop, and this time they figured they'd lock it down with the reward to force us to hit our ops level ... and promptly found out the reason we did those other things was because we literally couldn't hit those hostiles with normal ships in the amounts needed.

And now they're surprised, caught off guard, and wonder why we're all upset.

[late elk]

I’m aware 😆

[woven oracle]

That's day 1, then the meta is found and it becomes a grind, an easy one or a hard one, grind is to be expected, but it's the only thing coming out in these new arcs... also the artifacts themselves will take forever to get at a normal ( ie non purchasing) pace

[lethal cedar]

When did we get a new yellow guy? Are they as useless as Eco? Lol. He heard people crying for communication, so he communicates and that's about it. They've only here to make it look like they're actually doing something.

[gleaming ridge]

numbers weren't made up. 12 taken from slb, hundreds taken from stfc.wtf

[turbid hound]

Douchely doesn't care if we are upset

They only care if they can extort money

[indigo tangle]

@heady moon Is this a sample of the quality we're supposed to receive? I didn't realize Archer wore a blue helmet:

Except the hostiles are so hard that the only way to get the rewards and participate in the SMS/SLBs is to spend an exhorbitant amount of money. This is flat out failure in the other direction. Very few players can get the loot they need making the rewards entirely out of reach.

[jade narwhal]

I mean I used all five of the tokens I got today and I am one milestone short of completing the thing and I was able to do only one of the refines. This is not okay

[worn panther]

Where is the mission that takes you into the new loop and territory? Done all 3 Holodeck ones, and 3 others from new systems. people saying here.

[jade narwhal]

It's a story mission

I think

[signal pewter]

Wasted time. Wasted money

[late elk]

The SLB is any hostile

Kill the lowest

[turbid hound]

Yeah good luck finding how far back tou see in that mission chain lol

I had to do like 50 missions last time it told me to complete a mission

[late elk]

Of course if you’re low ops you’re still screwed but eh

[spring girder]

@heady moon How in gods name are the lower 50s supposed to do the grind on 51s of the silent hostiles? When we cant even destroy one ship.

[late elk]

I’m a 55 and can’t kill the 55s either 😆

We need to git gud I guess

[sterile mountain]

Right. They made it an aspirational loop. A reason to upgrade your ships and research. You can invest either time or money into that goal, like everything else in the game. (Not defending, just describing.)

[worthy current]

You have to buy a level 50 epic ship.

[fathom flower]

I'm 61 and can't even reach the 61 hostile system to find out if I can even kill em so there is that

[sterile mountain]

No. Nobody should get one of those.

[worthy current]

You are an expert at missing my points.

[sterile mountain]

I heard it needs a nearly-maxed epic to get the 1100 warp range.

[late elk]

Imagine being 61+

[sterile mountain]

Thanks! At least I'm good at something.

[late elk]

In this economy

T5 rotarran with the warp core can make 966 for me

[worthy current]

I can understand this intent but it should be communicated.

[fair sentinel]

I'm lucky, I am ops 46 and biggest on my server so event is possible but it is shockingly badly designed and implemented

[fathom flower]

If I scrounge the 550 bil trit for it

Get a bigger ship ?…….

[thorn plinth]

Something does seem weird lol

Lol get a bigger ship? Haha! No one wants to hear that lol.

[fathom flower]

January arc, trash. Feb arc more trash piled on top. March arc, set it all on fire. Thanks again scopely

[stray pawn]

its pretty much the same for everyone unless you are lucky to be at the top of a wide bracket where you can hit down and still refine. The hostile levels need adjusting down for everyone

[oak basin]

ah, yes, the aspiration to buy pixels so that you can do the annoying grind for frankly lacklustre and uninteresting artifacts. woo. oh how i aspire to one day fill scopely's wallet enough to be rewarded with a slog to acquire and upgrade old outdated tat that was crap when new, it's my number one goal from now on.

[signal escarp]

pretty much, these new hostiles and systems are worthless to me for a few more months until i get a bigger boat.

[thorn plinth]

Least you know it's coming

[pure yew]

pretty funny though the people that instantly bought the battlepass

now they probably are in despair

[signal escarp]

cheap battlepass is ok. i can finish SMS at ops 55, just can't kill to refine anything. so.....yey

[oak basin]

also, is it just me or are the spawn ratios in the new systems way out of whack?

[pure yew]

until they make an event requiring you to

[oak basin]

like, the 41 system spawns like 95% lvl44 hostiles

[thorn plinth]

Okay so hostile level determines rare or uncommon and then player level determines which you can exchange? So no uncommon exchange for ops 49,s is that correct?

[fathom flower]

Yep

[thorn plinth]

So wack 46,s got it no worries lol

[chilly dawn]

All I’m going to say is if the sms is going to be that hard than you could at least label it heroic so those of us who aren’t heavy spender know we stand no chance at finishing it.

[thorn plinth]

Wasted a token i
Killing 44,s for nothing but ah well lol

[signal escarp]

it's great, at ops 55 i get absolutely nothing if i do not kill a 55. i fall in the bracket with refine for opses 55-59......so ops 59 has it easy. me? smile and wave

[turbid hound]

Hey the American way. If you can't pander to those select few then how do you make the people being exploited know their real value

[oak basin]

so

[signal escarp]

gosh, i do hope this arc won't have to do a lot with silent enemies and me having to refine for new artifacts, i'd be screwed if that happens

[turbid hound]

How else do they make whales feel good about spending their vacation home worth of money

[oak basin]

to summarise today's chat

[late elk]

it is very odd to put 55 in 55-59

like, wot

[slate cypress]

again....Scopely misses the mark. More BS we dont want or need

[velvet hill]

Decided to go against my gut and try to complete the sms and even after using multiple crews still came short.

[turbid hound]

You said that as if you assume the mor0ns who make the game actually play the game instead of being greedy out of touch douches

[wicked ice]

which crew did you use? I still could not kill ANY of them

[late elk]

as a 55 killing 41s...

https://tenor.com/view/sloth-walking-slow-slow-mo-asi-cuando-gif-9747136

[sharp egret]

I do not have SMS...

[late elk]

wrong folder

[pure yew]

woah woah woah 55-59 is clearly the same theres definitely not low amounts of resources for them in the paystore - scopely (please give me your retirement money and your burial funds)

[velvet hill]

The only one that worked for me was Pike Moruea Tripp, i still do not have hugh and honestly got lucky, killed 1 hostile per hull for the first 4 tokens but died completely on the 5th hostile.

[signal escarp]

tucker or lorca, was about the same for me. with paris and hugh below

[turbid hound]

Yeah seriously you can just as easily take a g5 uncommon up to 200m power and handicap any account growth

[velvet hill]

Was running Tendi Odo and Grush below decks

[late elk]

i could probably get mine to that now but im so close to the 56s

why bother

[turbid hound]

Who needs a g5 rare when axopely expects you to drop 5,000$ on each ship you unlock

[wicked ice]

I am level 46 and do not have tucker....

or janeway

[hallow orbit]

See @heady moon this is it hitting the nail right on the head. Scopleys bad design and decision making punishes the players for figuring it out and finding ways to work the problem into a solution, its Gailagate all over again lol

[kind nexus]

"QuAlItY oVeR qUaNtItY"

[tranquil tinsel]

Well this has to be the worst arc they have ever released. Unachievable and just wasted my evening because scopely can’t even explain what you have to do properly. Apparently I have to hit lvl 46, I am barely taking down lvl41s.. what a joke @terse jackal

[turbid hound]

Douchely wants you to know we don't care about making good on our word

As long as we can scam you out of a bit more money

[abstract narwhal]

I am way disappointed after missing a week from last arch becuase couldn't get on the phone and now I can't even kill the sms for 41 with the right crew

[turbid hound]

I wonder if scopely ever had fake swatting calls like the twitch streamers get

[abstract narwhal]

Ohh and I didn't get compped becuase I didn't report it through the ap I couldn't access

[signal escarp]

you should be able to kill 51s.......just for SMS, not that you will be able to get anything to refine

[hybrid vector]

This arc has me so excited to go mine iso

[abstract narwhal]

Lol

[late elk]

yeah i know. im doing the slb too though

[hybrid vector]

Three trips up and one hostile defeated.

[signal escarp]

ah, i tried to kill a 55. twice, two crews. emphasis on tried, lol

[late elk]

i tried once. ONCE. lol

[abstract narwhal]

The good news is you can still rank for the artifacts if you do formation armadas and upgrade your artifacts

[proven bolt]

Is…is scopely trolling me with that retrieving name? They…they got me good this time

[oak basin]

the day scopely figure out that providing content players want, instead of whatever someone at scopely thinks is a 'neat idea', is advisable, the vatican will elect a protestant pope.

[signal escarp]

i mean i could say i did better but the end result is the same😅

[late elk]

just think of the pride and accomplishment we will feel when we finally kill one

[glacial plaza]

How it showed be 🤣🤣🤣

[bright spindle]

Have you noticed that all coms like and scopley’s puppets have gone very quit over this….

[silent gull]

They always do.

[turbid hound]

Well they say stupid 💩 like of course we beta test content or it wouldnt work

And just hit higher lol hostiles

[signal escarp]

will tell my boss i need a day off to celebrate at that time

[golden cliff]

Probably because they've done all they can do. Share the feedback from us to scopely, and the rest has been people attacking them

[late elk]

its also night time in the US

outside work hours etc...

[oak basin]

@heady moon can you relay to the devs that they need to adjust the spawn ratios? 5-10% of spawns in the 41 system for the new hostiles being lvl41's is far too low. thx.

[humble kindle]

As opposed to an apostate one?

[abstract narwhal]

They need to be like level 38 hostiles with that buff

[bright spindle]

Their feedback is a like kitten purring for a scratch.. they never stand up and give it too them hard straight because if they do they’ll lose the special packs they get in game…

[silent gull]

They should have known this happens as they are the go between the scumbags who make the game and poor sods who play the game

[nocturne sentinel]

And maybe throw us like 5 more tokens.

[humble kindle]

They know.

They just don’t know how bad we get.

[dull mason]

https://tenor.com/view/bestfriends-forever-lets-play-hey-gif-25992547

[solid sparrow]

What, you don't think sitting in the 46-49 system trying to beat 5 other players to the one 46 that will eventually spawn (amongst the sea of 49's we can't touch) is interesting day 1 content? 😆

[shy sequoia]

I just told people in chat, you know it's bad when the mods and such have all disappeared.

[abstract narwhal]

That is every release of an arch lately

Yes. Sometimes with gentle hand.

Sometimes disrupter field booping stick or hammer…

[thorn plinth]

I'm in the 46 system 4 56,s a 54 2 57,s lol so as a 49 this is gonna be an after midnight run when there all asleep Or never.

[little violet]

?

[thorn plinth]

None are hitting the 49,s there racing for the 46,s

[kind nexus]

Dw, I saw a 800M ship a 62 player was using on 41's

Probably can't beat their own level hostiles so resigned to hitting 100's of the weakest for the points XD

[tiny tendon]

Might just be time to join Bubba Joe. I hate to say it but enough is enough

[thorn plinth]

@kind nexus yeah optimum points is gonna be the lowest they can grind most likely with is gonna jam us all up in the lower systems.

[tiny tendon]

New loop is bad enough. For this to be the loop is just appalling

[late elk]

boycott spending by boycotting not spending so spend to boycott!

Very happy that first day meta is already ruined.

that's the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me

❤️

[tawdry oriole]

I kill 2 of the 41s per hull I go to the artifact store and there's no where to refine anything? I have 4000 credits. It's saying I can't use them until I reach artifact level 15? Huh?

[late elk]

what ops are you

[tawdry oriole]

46

[late elk]

the refine is in store -> artifacts

[turbid hound]

Gift tab

[late elk]

that refinery is for overflow

when u max artifacts

[sturdy raven]

So they say they completed the enterprise crew. I don't see Mayweather

[tawdry oriole]

I try that as well. It's saying I have 0 credits

[karmic rover]

Scopely should have provide more Silent Nebula tokens. Will be super hard/impossibl for low 40s to complete Silent hunter event in just 1 day

[late elk]

i think 46+ needs rare ones

41-45 unc, 46-49 or 50 rare

[worthy current]

Admins and whales will say, "Then get a bigger ship"

[late elk]

u can only refine one type

that typically come from ur level range

so if ur 46 and killing 41s, u wont have the correct drops

[tawdry oriole]

Whaaat . Oh dear

[late elk]

mmhm

[tawdry oriole]

Looks like this arc isn't for me then

[worthy current]

G5 only available from level 51+ systems.

[worthy current]

It's for about 5% of the user base.

[late elk]

50-54 need unc, 55+ need rare

thats why everyone is complaining

cus we can barely kill the hostiles at our own level range
