[late ermine]

Plus with all those high lvl 50+ farming at lvl 41 system I can't even kill hostile that are lvl 41 😅

Atleast they should have capted it for thier respective lvl

[tulip sparrow]

PMC seems to be working the best for most people including myself. Tried all scopelys crews but they underperfrom hugely. Maybe they meant that their crews should have all officers maxed, who knows. Even the whales are usign PMC 😄

[elder lodge]

44 - tier 5 valdore

[late ermine]

I am lvl 44 with a tier 5 ktinga using e Picard e data and 5 of 11 for loot

[elder lodge]

You can tell it's broken when the level 56's have to farm 41-44 🤣

[late ermine]

With cerritos boost i can kill 6 lvl 41 but dayam 41 system is full with 50+ and because of them can't even kill a single hostile 😂 wasted 3 tokens already

[drowsy cypress]

it's 'cause they set the leaderboard to be 70pts per kill, regardless of level, which is very dumb

[urban needle]

and they just farm to complete the Event or score in slb - the hostile loot is useless to them.

[late ermine]

Yup very stupid 🤣

[sharp egret]

loot crew is okay for you. Or Doctor, Janeway E-data

[elder lodge]

With pmc and exo and cerritos support, I can maybe take 1/4 Hull off 🤣

The valdore really struggles with this type of hostile - I do better with the t3 ktinga

[humble kindle]

I just wish people would PLEASE go to their own bracket system.

I will admit I completed the leaderboard. Level 41. First attempt zero kills. 2nd-4th 2 kills a time. 5th attempt. 0 kills. 6th attempt, 3 kills with Cerritos support.

Sorry, milestone.

Scopely completely botched this.

[late ermine]

Yes man super hard forget about doing the sms can't even get loot for daily pulls because of those naughty players 🤣🤣

[nimble nymph]

What's going on with waves?

[drowsy cypress]

Did they break them? The patch had some fixes for them

[nimble nymph]

We get Exception_errror_200 and only see people come in after. If you skip to galaxy and back you are alone...

[late ermine]

Yup

Happening every server i think

Thats the first time i am facing problem with waves 😂

[tulip sparrow]

i am always afking there with one ship so dont really know 😄

[nimble nymph]

Who do you wanna joke?

[late ermine]

I mean really 😅 i ain't joking

[nimble nymph]

Is it your first wave? 😂

[late ermine]

Nope 😂 have a lvl 33 building and 25k rep

Daym think i killed the chat 🤷well bye guys

[narrow sable]

I can join waves but can’t see other players so it stuffed for me

[buoyant scarab]

Yeah, skipping them till they are fixed.

[narrow sable]

Grrrrr thought this arc was bug free

[humble kindle]

Okay. Scopely support is even more useless.

Got a Q’s Trial hostile… silence ship. ‘We are aware of issues, and you will not receive a response after this’.

Your automod will block my default replies.

Gonna guess the community managers are all in hiding again?

[buoyant forum]

Has the lat price per faction credits increase?

[drowsy cypress]

should still be 50 per?

[midnight hatch]

@heady moon @terse jackal the Hotfix didnt work for silent hostiles, still appearing in q trials on server 9

[drowsy cypress]

Did anyone have the patch fix their Training Missions? It still is broken for me

Field Training

[fluid shuttle]

When?

[slow mica]

Never lmao

[knotty flume]

Next year, it is always next year 😉

[humble kindle]

When the currently planned and prepared content has been produced…

So, about 6 - 9 months from now. If you’re lucky.

[faint hollow]

Anyone know why the xindi scraps aren't showing up in the rewards anymore?

[humble kindle]

Because Scopely decided you have to grind both.

[dusky cove]

Are they just invisible or do they no longer drop them?

[faint hollow]

They are not dropping them...I only got the tech modules for rewards.

[humble kindle]

Probably a ‘bug fix’.

[broken void]

Hi - anyone know what you use 'immunocytic gel' for?

?

[hybrid vector]

Actually, I believe we have this all wrong. Scopely did make the game less of a grind. When the only events require a grind that cannot be done, then we are freed up from grinding.

[cobalt vale]

Nah. I think they're making it less of a grind by forcing the majority of players to get frustrated with the never ending grind and quit instead. 😄

[split quarry]

Any idea when waves will be fixed?

[tropic nexus]

So the silent enemies are only for 50+ players? They gave me the event and the tokens to mock me?

[drowsy cypress]

40+, but probably realistically 42+

[tropic nexus]

I’m 40 and I can’t do any of the event 😞

[drowsy cypress]

Yeah I'm 40 and died as well

I've seen a couple people able to do it with Tier 9 Enterprise

[tropic nexus]

With a tier 8 auger and the recommended crew I’m not even close

[drowsy cypress]

Yeah, I died with Tier 7 Enterprise. I think you need like, T9 Ent, Decent Harry Kim and Tom Paris below deck and Severus-Charvanek-Decius

[tropic nexus]

I also heard from a 46 that it’s not easy to get enough points even if you can kill a few

[drowsy cypress]

I can say there's 400ish 40-42 players on my server, only 21 have scored any points in the SLB

[oak basin]

more realistically it's aimed at 46+ or spenders. the lowest level silent enemy system spawn's like 90-95%% lvl44 enemies, which if you're on an ops 42 ship, you're getting one, maybe two kills a hull if you're using the severus crew. the system's often full of 44's with no 41's around until enough 44's get killed that one spawns and then it's 80% likely to get snatched up before you reach it.

[inner aurora]

Next step up system is the same, all 49s, no 46s.

[drowsy cypress]

That's just because of the SLB though, that won't be like that a day or two from now

[oak basin]

yeah, then it'll be worse because you won't have stronger players clearing 44's to get 41's to spawn

[drowsy cypress]

The ships do recycle on their own though and you're just not going to have 20-30 people in the system in the first place

[inner aurora]

We'll see. I still think the spawn rates of the weaker ships should be adjusted up. It's not a 49 system after all, it's a 46 system.

[drowsy cypress]

People right now aren't hunting for the Loot, they're hunting for the SLB, when they're hunting for the loot normally they'll be picking targets differently I think

[oak basin]

eventually they recycle, but that's an even slower process, so... worse

[drowsy cypress]

But I mean it'll be like any daily farm, like if you go into a probe system there's like 2 people, not 30

[oak basin]

aye but if you're going to a probe system, you've got a specialty ship and you're able to pick an appropriate level of system with nothing but appropriate levels of hostiles for your ops and ship lvl.

[thorn fjord]

SLB should have bracketed the hostiles, points only if you hit your intended group

[neat obsidian]

What do all the new systems do? Except I now have a zoo on my ship?

[mortal elk]

the new refinery model forces you to pick the 'right' systems regardless of whether your ship can handle it or not 😄

SLB aside, there's no benefit for a 55-59 hitting below the 55 system

[hollow steeple]

Nice update. Trying to start the game since 30 minutes. Liading screen of doom but nit loading. Restarted the game 6 times, ni change, only loading screen in endless

[mortal elk]

in some ways, it's a good thing... buuut

[mortal elk]

with the progress bar, or?

[silver parcel]

https://tenor.com/view/shhh-shush-silence-nose-gif-17895433

[mortal elk]

that's @slim sierra' job, no poaching 🤣

[hollow steeple]

The screen after the progressbar

The bar is filling up nice and quickly

[mortal elk]

is that the first time you've loaded since doing the patch update?

[hollow steeple]

Yes

[mortal elk]

you will probably have to sit on it a while while it does the asset download and whatever else it does, mine routinely has to sit for 10-15 mins before it loads

first time, anyhow

after that it's kinda normal speed

and no, I don't know why they don't package all the assets in with the patch

[hollow steeple]

So why it dont say downloading like past times? Would help if somethimg indicates what waiting for after the progressbar is filled up 🙈
Aight, thank you. I will wait then. 30 minutes done, lets see how many will follow 😅

[mortal elk]

reinstall may help if somethings gone squiffy 😦

[hollow steeple]

They do what they do 🤣

[mortal elk]

I find if I treat the game client, like I treated windows PCs in the 90s and early 00s, it helps 😂

After update is autoshield anyways right?

[mortal elk]

that will have dropped already, its usually only an 8-12 hour

and the patch was yesterday

[amber island]

I need a opion to get back my ops55 to 54 😄 so i can use the uc loot from still hostile 👀🤓

[silver parcel]

They just need to add it to the refinery and not ops gate it.

[amber island]

Or so..i was a lilltle bit joking 🙈😆

[mortal elk]

Eco was going to talk to someone about that

no further news...

[amber island]

Ok cool@mortal elk 👍

[earnest flax]

7 tokens spent, and SMS not complete. Thanks Scopely, you guys did a "wonderful" job with this new material, as usual!

[pliant vapor]

ridiculous event catered towards the spenders and high ops players only

what is with all these crazy hostiles in last few arcs!

[acoustic grail]

Don't know how to make good challenging content, like a lot of game companies they think random bs/inflated #s equals difficulty

[pliant vapor]

I should be able to kill any foe in the galaxy using the Enterprise since its the best ship in the federation arsenal! according to the Trek lore

[solid orbit]

the kind of morning where scopely lets u click things, but your rewards are lost in the ether @terse jackal @mortal elk

[mortal elk]

But which enterprise? 😄

[broken sigil]

Even if I could kill a few 46s. There aren't any spawning. This feature is so well done it's amazing

[mortal elk]

we have 5 now?

[solid orbit]

Zabatiz, are my rewards above lost?

[pliant vapor]

any should be up for the tasks.. in game the g3 Epic 😂😂😂

[mortal elk]

I'd restart and check tbf

any word on when waves will be fixed?

Got it, thx

[pliant vapor]

ok can someone post a info graph on the new silent hostiles? quite a name tho

[vapid solstice]

They are silent but deadly 😆

[pliant vapor]

it kills your ship silently!

[mortal elk]

silent 'cept the gnashing of teeth 😄

[pliant vapor]

in space no one can hear your screams!??

[mortal elk]

I meant the player's teeth 😄

[vapid solstice]

And the f bombs

[shy sequoia]

Racing higher ops to 41s. If you're buffed you won't get much done and waste rss because 1) it's got ds shroud and token locked, 2) these things are tweaked out on something 3) it's a waste of time

[mortal elk]

once the SLB ends that should be less of an issue

[sour light]

The 51-55 bracket is utterly BROKEN.. I have a vorcha 175m.. with titan and certios buff.. and 2 good damage exos.. I can kill 1.5 55 silent enemies... like 8m not some f2p guy.. I'm over 10g's deep in this trash and I can't generate enuf rare 5 star parts for 1 pull.. as it was, just to finish the event I had to use my last token and go to the 46 system and grind out a couple hundred of them... DO BETTER SCOPLY.. NOW.. ... PLEASE?

[pliant vapor]

so what are these mean lil bast....? interceptors, battleships, or explorers battle triangle wise

[mortal elk]

all three

[shy sequoia]

Lol. Can't even complete the solo ms

[mortal elk]

sokay, neither can I 🤣

[whole rapids]

We are all in the same boat. Scopley needs to nerf the 51-55 areas. They are way too strong.

[frank loom]

I’m mean…it’s not ok. But yeah, lots of us in same boat…and it’s full of holes in the hull and sinking fast.

[golden cliff]

Aren't you ops 49? you aren't getting any loot for your refines trying to kill 41s

[frigid zephyr]

I’ve never been frustrated as I am with trying to kill one of these hostiles. This is a joke of trying to earn event store credits. This is just a joke of a month event store with events you can’t complete

[shy sequoia]

I have to plink 46s to get a refine. Not happening.

[frank loom]

The hostiles are a joke…the new loop is a joke…and the event store is the worst joke of all.

[ruby turtle]

so I guess waves are just being ignored... maybe scopely can just start giving us the credits we'd earn as daililes if they aren't going to fix this so we can still collect our section 31 stuff

[pliant vapor]

The hostiles are a joke…the new loop is a joke…and the event store is the worst joke of all.

[hybrid cave]

Except many people can’t hit in their “intended group”

[exotic gulch]

I understand they are trying to motivate us to progress with waves, new enterprise ship and now new hostiles but to link these events with the blueprints event store is a cruelty. I am op 40 (rushed a little for new ent possibilities) and can’t defeat even one so I will probably only window shop if more events for this store will be linked to new silent hostiles.

[exotic gulch]

😂😂😂 yes, on my way to work so taking pauses is moaning 😆😅😂

[marble oasis]

so i need S31 credits for S31 store refines but i can't do wave becouse Error 200 @terse jackal any information on when that gets fixed...

[thorn fjord]

Then very few would score and Scopely might possibly shrug a bit harder than usual

[untold tartan]

Way to go. Make an event that is so hard, you can't complete it even with the tokens given, forcing people to pay to finish. No wonder so meny high lvl players are quitting in droves. Bad content. 💩 Arcs, and pay to play.

Is the latest debacle going to get fixed and a comp cheat given or is it tough luck guys, pay to play only?

[tidal edge]

does anyone know where i can find immortal datapads

[abstract glade]

Anyone recognised scopeley is really quiet again they did it with the xindi stuff too 😬

[untold tartan]

Cause they know they had fracked up badly as usual. Lol

[hollow steeple]

For the progressbar is just a short movie befor the real loading starts? 🤣

So*

[broken sigil]

I can't even get the hostiles I need to spawn. Forget if it's doable or not if there is nothing to hit. Fix the spawn rates or get rid of the tokens. My best ship is basically stuck in a system while I wait for spawns. Unless I wanna waste a token 😡

Scopely should have handed out more tokens yesterday. It took me a run to figure out crewing now im short of finishing part of the event. Frustrating!

[slow isle]

They did mention 3 suggested crews in their patch notes

[foggy lark]

There is no Karen in HR...

[cedar vale]

They did but i went big on my first run and only killed one hostile. I guess thats my bad.

[slow isle]

The bigger issue for me is that you cannot refine the loot depending on your OPS and the level of the enemies, this wasn't mentioned anywhere but here in some comment by Eco or so

#🌌-galaxy-chat message

here is the comment

[cloud tinsel]

If you are 51 but can only kill sub 50 silent hostiles, anyone like me can't access the artifact temporal exchange since it is only 5* mats?

[hallow moss]

After seeing this I know it will be a low earning event store month...

[frank loom]

Nothing in the store worthwhile anyway. Might as well just take the whole month off.

[gloomy bay]

[main quartz]

Are there any support people here from the klingon empire. I have a problem with the cloak on my Korinar. When I enter a system from warp my enemy is able to see by ship briefly and they warp away. I did activate the cloak outside the system.
I think the cloak is broken so would like to return it for a full refund.

[warm osprey]

are they able to see the ship itself or just that someone warped in? Because seeing that brief warp flash is intended as far as I know

@terse jackal @heady moon 2 hours left and only 5 people have scored in my slb bracket. The new hostiles are ridiculous. It's like you took a regular faction 41 red and multiplied it by 10 and added ship abilities on top.

[frigid zenith]

Dont get greedy! I mean its half an officer shard for a 3 day event. And you need to decide between 4 (four!) officers. Very exciting stuff that is.

Every new grind is hard at the beginning. Needs time to get the tricks out, find solutions, getting stronger for it. Sorry, but where please would be the fun of this game if everything would be just be solvable with a boring click at first....

[patent glen]

Scopley crew recommendations can't beat 51s

[lethal coral]

If you had went to the refinery and clicked on the loot needed, it should tell you where to get what you need..

[vapid solstice]

Yes indeed. Oh wait you do have people who buy their way to the top of the leaderboards. Now there some fun.

[latent hill]

Let them, they keep the lights on 🙂

[indigo tangle]

The issue at play here is the token gated systems, like the Aquatic systems. While the Reptilian hostile loop is difficult and challenging, people could take as much time and resources to experiment with them as they so chose.

You can't do this with the Token Gated systems. Previously, the token gated systems literally required the specialty ship designed for them to work. Even the NX-01 for the Aquatics doesn't work outside of the box, without creative crewing.

Tying events to completion of tasks in token-gated systems is atrocious game design. I don't even know if you can still call it "game design", at this point.

[broken wadi]

I feel they did madlibs to design the systems and hostiles.

[oak charm]

What was the code again?

[steel sapphire]

Exactly they can fix the issues here by removing the token requirements

[earnest raven]

ENT3 - for Ops 38+

[steel sapphire]

These new hostiles need to be tested with different crews to see what works best for each player. You can’t do that when you only get 2 tries a day

[oak charm]

Ah thats right. Wasnt sure if was 3 or not. Thank you very much

[opal meadow]

F this company and F this game. Sick of their BS. "Quality" my @ss!

[proven bolt]

As someone else pointed out, you’ll see a warp flash when someone enters the system, and a flash from where they warp out. If I’m eyeing a target, I’ll look at my warp path into that sector and try to enter when they aren’t next to it/focused on it. If they’re grinding I’ll wait til they’re on the other side of the sector

[gleaming ocean]

@terse jackal @heady moon While I get that slbs are won by the spenders, and heroic sms are pay to complete, regular sms should be doable by the average player without too much difficulty. I don't remember ever failing to finish an sms that I tried for.

[ivory hull]

Can I just point out that locking everything new behind some limited token is a terrible idea. People might have been able to finish if they could get to the space

[peak sedge]

We've entered the Pay2Play era, the USS Visa is required for all content 😆

[subtle shore]

you know its bad when there are 50s in the 41 system trying to complete the event

[marble shoal]

As I've said before this is the first arc/loop I haven't been able to do a single event.

[steel sapphire]

As a 52 with a almost maxed Newton but no g5 ship yet I can’t kill more than 2 51s a run

[dull kiln]

It's been that way since they introduced the Xindi. With this new arc they even gated the loot and still folks are going down

[prisma phoenix]

I’m a level 53, where can I use the common temporal disruptir parts I have accumulated or are they useless?

[marble shoal]

And if they are creating content for the bigs fine but also put something out us lowers can do.

[marble shoal]

Ok that's funny

[swift moon]

You forgot your Diners's Club and Loan Shark officers.

[peak sedge]

Love it. No doubt it'll get deleted, as "spam" so I've saved myself a copy 😄

[dull kiln]

The loot is gated to the bracket

[thorn plinth]

Seems odd to leave events unfinished. But I got no tokens left for the new areas.

[verbal hearth]

what this is about?

[dull kiln]

Your artifact gallery is to the point you are into the remnant segment with artifacts

So the stuff I have collected is absolutely worthless

I have lvl 47

[thorn plinth]

Yeah the events ask for killing silent hostiles but the turn in requires you to hit specific level hostile.

[dull kiln]

Basically, they'll probably add an upgrade refinery at some point or something...

#🤝-help-each-other message

[dull kiln]

Any artifacts at level 15?

[pseudo flower]

As it was asked: each system has their own bracket of levels that can gain loot to refine there. So the 50s' in the 41 system will get credit for the slb and the sms but cant refine the stuff any more.

[prisma phoenix]

But the majority of people my level are grinding the lower level for event, what an absolute farce

It’s ridiculous

I can still refine g3 mats …

[dull kiln]

As an ops 41, I can really go down... And trust me I see the g5s having to hit the starting zone...

[thorn plinth]

@prisma phoenix yeah and that's gonna waste many tokens for collecting the daily trade in material.

[pseudo flower]

Anyone found the trick to these hostiles, I tried crit reductions, defensive crews etc...

[pastel knot]

image saved for the future

[dull kiln]

Yes, but I think the one thing they realized about the Xindi loop was over correcting on stopping players from punching up, but instead of forcing players to hit our level they caused us to punch down. They did the loot locking as a way to punish punching down, I'm guessing

[prisma phoenix]

PM tucker working well

[prisma phoenix]

Either way it’s broken

Scopely are right tuckers

[pseudo flower]

Didnt try that one yet.

[dull kiln]

Broken for us, but Scopely seems to be enjoying making it worse

[mild trout]

By quality over quantity, they meant replace borg probe style loops with annoying difficult to kill hostiles

[pseudo flower]

Maybe its time to find a new game 🙂

delete scopely.exe

[subtle shore]

https://tenor.com/view/war-games-joshua-woppr-strange-game-doctor-only-winning-move-is-not-to-play-gif-16198386

[mild trout]

Starting to feel that a little bit

[thorn plinth]

Back to normal daily stuff. We can just skip this new thing lol.

[trail pier]

my server only has 3 participants! .... thats a sure sign of a very balanced and amazing new QUALITY content

[thorn plinth]

At least the xindi,s have non token areas.

I don't remember kirk paying subway fees to do stuff. Lol

[dull kiln]

And a sub 40 zone, the drops are super low, but still

[gleaming ocean]

He did need money for a bus ride once🤣

[trail pier]

remove the tokens, lower the warp range.... i mean i'd love to try to kill those hostiles with a tier 6 augur... not sure it'll cut it but i cant even try because tier 6 augur doesnt have the warp range... gotta be at least tier 8 to reach the system, and defiant/talios at half the power of a tier 6 augur definately dont get the job done

[thorn plinth]

Lol save up 2 tokens and take mantis with you lol

[dull kiln]

Voyager is an option, but yeah it's nuts

[proven bolt]

Does mantis sting work on hostiles?

[trail pier]

i dont have a voyager yet... hate grinding the hirogin

[thorn plinth]

@proven bolt no clue never tried it

Lol

[dull kiln]

Getting the Voyager is a pain, but it provides a lot of amazing things

[proven bolt]

Lol, ok. I’m pretty sure it doesn’t but the idea I was like…omg I see Q trials going better.

[trail pier]

i have 82/100 voyager bps... basically just through forced grinding by events requiring to hunt those systems

[thorn plinth]

Nope just tried

No joy

[proven bolt]

It would have been sweet though. Thanks for confirming

[trail pier]

i wouldnt mind the grind for hirogin .... if all those hostiles in those systems didnt drop 4236340324532236342 RSS filling the cargo in 3 kills

[magic glen]

you're grinding in the wrong systems then

[proven bolt]

What ops? What’s your biggest ship? Hirogen elites are the way to go

[trail pier]

ops 39.... biggest ship is a tier 6 augur, but i normally hunt with the talios for the cargo capacity

[dull kiln]

Without Voyager the elites aren't happening for g3 players

[proven bolt]

Try augur in velyxis. Use Tal crew if you’ve got it. Otherwise blue Bev (c). Giorgio and Tyler on the side. Stack attack, Hugh below

[dull kiln]

Zoom in, make sure to only Hirogen and no lost hostiles

[magic glen]

Attana should also be reachable for hirogen elites.

[proven bolt]

Or go for the surveys in Velixys and neighboring systems. Rare spawn but easy and lots of loot

[trail pier]

it just takes too much time waiting for hirogen to spawn... i get bored and just go do other things.... if the lost hostiles didnt drop all the RSS i could just sit and grind the system and not get frustrated/bored waiting for spawns

the hirogen/voyager problem is purely my problem i know that... 🙂 but the new loop is just aweful

[thorn plinth]

@trail pier it is so far for sure.

[dull kiln]

I jumped systems, but I get ya. There was a suggestion on crewing and burning Tal might get you there

[trail pier]

from my perspective, taking about 10% off the hostiles stats/damage what ever... scale them back just slightly... lower the warp range on the systems... would make them more doable.... removing the token cost would be great but just reduced damage and lower warp requirement would help so much

[timid current]

anyone having issues doing WD due to exception error: 200????

[dull kiln]

Yep

[distant quartz]

The game got stuck so I reloaded the app, and now my profile isn't there...the game started as if I'm a new player. I had logged in on the website earlier to claim the mission key in the webstore, so I'm definitely signed in online, but not sure what to do for my account to load. Any suggestions?

[crude phoenix]

scopely for the love of god.. we need more 55 hostiles..

[dull kiln]

G5 players are too busy in the 41 system anyways

[proven bolt]

It was glowing last night, glowing all morning. The 24hr slb means it’s never gonna be free for lower levels like me til the slb ends

[tame sparrow]

What is happening with waves @terse jackal

[nimble nymph]

are waves working again?

[spark epoch]

Dude is it laggy as all heck right now for everyone else?

[tame sparrow]

I don't think so

[pastel knot]

Quick question, is it weekend already?

[tame sparrow]

2 more days🙄

[proven bolt]

According to the 4 year old, yes. But my phone says no 😂

[pastel knot]

Are you sure? CMs dont work on weekends. Have you seen any today?

[tame sparrow]

They are active when they have answers I guess

[north torrent]

💩 i have killed all 61er silent ones. Do not respawn now any more, system is full of 62. i am not able to kill that one and no other player on my server is even able to get there to help cleanup. dead end

[pastel knot]

Really?

[tame sparrow]

Someone would answer olready

[pastel knot]

Please tell me you arent new here.

[flint ruin]

It’s not a mistake. This is third arc in a row where we’re getting OP hostiles. This is intentional, and an attempt to get players spending more at lower ops.

And thats a really bad sign, because it means whale spending is down.

[pastel knot]

Agreed

[untold tartan]

they can frack off

[slender escarp]

I scopley will have to take my money from my cold, dead hands

[dull kiln]

Forcing people to their level is one thing, but when g5s don't even have the power to go to like mid 40 hostiles, that's just crazy breaking players PvE power

[indigo tangle]

Well they keep chasing away their whales #justiceforbubbajoe - but that's completely self inflicted.

[untold tartan]

we have had on our server in the last 8 weeks, 9 people leave the game due to the grind and almost all of therm where lvl 50plus

[flint ruin]

Dealing with this just takes a mindset switch…ignore the new content until punching down 10 levels gives you a reasonable grind.

Problem solved. 😊

[acoustic grail]

Except that's how we get lvl specific loot...

[pastel knot]

For the first 3 weeks of xindi i didnt grind for them.

[acoustic grail]

Damned if you do or dont

[verbal tendon]

I needed to hear that, just treat it like the newest shiny ship

[trail pier]

except arent alot of the people punching down... finding out they also cant refine the rewards they are getting?

[flint ruin]

I still don’t. Total,y not worth it. Everyone once in a while I park a ship up there and happen to catch a some surveys…otherwise I do nothing on Xindi.

This arc’s BS will be the same…will revisit in a few months, if the game is even still alive then.

[north torrent]

⛑️ The Claim for the two daily Tokens for the new system has disappared from my faction store?

[dull kiln]

Except punching down doesn't help people entering into things

[flat karma]

we need more tokens!!!

[indigo tangle]

👀 i just saw it in mine.

[verbal tendon]

I think they mean giving that amount of time

[flint ruin]

You got it exactly…this mechanic was intentionally created to not let people punch down, so they “have” to spend.

It’s on purpose. It’s not an accident.

So there’s nothing to do. Either spend like they want you to, or ignore.

It is NOT going to be “fixed”, because from their perspective, there is nothing to fix. It’s exactly as designed.

[trail pier]

i've seen alot of people punching down... getting uncommon... but there refinery requires rare..... its a bit of a problem

[slim sierra]

Hey Dayta, can you please shoot me a DM? Thanks!

[dapper scaffold]

Making an arc heavy on metas...with mistuned content is a great idea.

[pure yew]

it is clearly you all are panicking and with panic the fools will buy

FOmO

[untold tartan]

naa i only ever buy the battle pass now, nothing else is worth it . oversepensice price grouging tbh

[dull kiln]

These arc could have built in each other with each providing buffs that make the next possible, but even if they did Scopely makes the progress too slow to drop these all one after the other

[dull agate]

Eco said just give it a try and get back to him but we can't even give it a try lol

[north torrent]

thx. obviously the button disappears if one does have more then 8 in stock

[unreal bear]

$$copely is really taking a chance with upsetting the players. Why ? The gaming industry is having issues. Some are closing down . $$copely stop taking the players for granted or this might happen to your company one day.

[pure yew]

they just got bought out by savvy games they dont care

🤣

[tame sparrow]

Should be 3 years, but rarely comment or write

[peak sedge]

The message from the very top of Scopley is that this game is "sticky" and players won't leave. That arrogance will bite them eventually

[dull agate]

Us Trekkies are a stubborn bunch but Star Trek IP deserves better than this pile of poop

[untold tartan]

the ammount of players leaving our server is huge all ex paying players.

[dull agate]

This position posted a month ago. Still looking for someone to fix the numbers.

Billy got axed

[onyx wolf]

https://tenor.com/view/neymar-neymar-jr-neymar-junior-neymi-njr-gif-8767892713360152322

[shy hamlet]

corporate finance isn't doing anything directly tied to the game at all

[grave geode]

Scopely have built a massive web and if you get caught in it only the strongest escape

[dull agate]

That's the problem. Lol they dont care about the quality of their games at the game level. Just care about the $$$ coming in at the end of the day.

[dapper scaffold]

Then why does it feel like this game is entirely run by accountants?

[dull agate]

You can only milk that for so long til everyone gives up

[thorn fjord]

I would, but it won’t let me…

[slim sierra]

LOL It won't let me message you either. This is hilarious.

[untold tartan]

yeah we had players in our alliance who dropped 4k euro a month into the game. and more, each. now they drop nothign and quit the game as the game is pure grind. even the FTP players are leaving

[untold tartan]

the evil overloard bots rule the world

[shy hamlet]

one of you two probably needs to enable this for a minute

[dull mason]

@terse jackal I've used up all my available Data trying to play there's so many problems " Disconnecting issues

I can't shield 🤷🏼‍♂️

[fossil furnace]

where's your base, i'll look after it

[slim sierra]

I have those on or people would scream. LOL

[dull mason]

Not telling u 🤦🏼‍♂️

[fossil furnace]

different server anyway

[high mason]

@heady moon @terse jackal I thought there was a hot fix that was supposed to prevent this. Fresh login this morning, just started my trials for today and that was the second one that I was given.

[pure yarrow]

How?

[untold tartan]

its pay to play so enjoy:@_

[crude phoenix]

but no refinable loot // wich is the issue ;p

[terse jackal]

Morning everyone

[gloomy light]

o/

[onyx wolf]

I needed 100 dollars to finish the first event no I need another 100 for todays

[untold tartan]

morning eco., amy updates from the evil overloards?

[fallow parrot]

good morning lol, is 5 pm

[shy hamlet]

Temporal Disruptors have a free daily claim (which gets you 300 over 2 days) and are also earned via the new Silent Enemy loop

[void wadi]

So if you already collected before reset Scopely says screw you

[shy hamlet]

if you already collected before reset, just collect before reset on the 3rd day as well

[onyx wolf]

Back to Star Wars my other love

[frank pike]

So, anything to be done about the hostiles basically cloaking in waves now?

[flint ruin]

It’s not an issue - it’s by design.

[terse jackal]

What updates are you looking for exactly?

Also I know events are refreshing right now. Let me know if anything weird is happening with scoring please

[shy hamlet]

are the hostiles cloaking? from the other reports i've heard, I wonder if that's someone who's in your wave but invisible to you killing them

[viscid fern]

Exception 200 error on Waves would be nice

[pure yarrow]

@terse jackal Is this supposed to be a mistake or are we truly screwed it we hadn't timed the claim for this specific event?

[untold tartan]

about how must of us cant complete the events due to not being able to kill enough silent hostiles on the tokens provided forcing us to either not play or pay!

[terse jackal]

This I'm following up on, I know it's been happening a LOT since yesterday. Team is looking into what's going on

[frank pike]

Nope, straight up disappearing during people’s waves, some “reappear” at the last perimeter circle before hitting the base, others don’t show back up until they’ve hit the base

[terse jackal]

I'm going to make an announcement today on everything I'm tracking

[frank pike]

There’s also the issue of the game freezing up when trying to unlock shards of the new artifacts

[fallow parrot]

what happening is that, there's only quantity but 0 quality lol

[frank pike]

They meant kwality when they wrote that

[onyx wolf]

now the game is freezing up every time i click on something

[terse jackal]

Really? Could you do another video for me by chance?

[onyx wolf]

restarted 3 times now

[terse jackal]

I need to go grab coffee, if anyone sees an issue with an event please tag me

[frank pike]

Are we still tracking the high number of broken formation armada systems? The ones that have been broken for months now with no solution on hand?

[hasty hemlock]

some mid-day event switches are worse than others

hopefully the lag subsides...

[terse jackal]

Still tracking and looking into things. Your'e talking about when the third leg of a formada doesn't work correct?

[rigid stag]

Game not loading for me, stuck at the base 😞

[frank pike]

There are systems where one leg is always broken, usually the bottom right. Chose the right leg first and it gives the armada limit, does not need to be the third one started

[dull kiln]

Just got hit by this freezing issue. Also insane that the loot refining for temporal artifacts is time gated when it is already gated by the system tokens

[turbid hound]

Awesome more events that a huge portion of the player base can't participate in yet again

[indigo tangle]

Your meme-fu needs work, but I applaud your early efforts 🖖

[magic glen]

I love it when I do my daily claim of an item, and then an SMS shows up that involves earning points for earning said item and to complete the sms you gotta wait until after reset.

[turbid hound]

@terse jackal any word on revalance of events to stop screwing 20 to 40% of the players ans letting us be able to do events

[indigo tangle]

What other company do you know that penalizes its customers for engaging in their product on their own schedule? I'll wait.

[hasty hemlock]

i screw up one event at the beginning of every battlepass like clockwork. my consistency is kinda impressive

[lucid wharf]

Cigarette companies

[magic glen]

Nintendo. Ubisoft.

[turbid hound]

Ea

But scopely is the worst

The battle pass and event store are utter garbage anways

Don't spend a dime

[frank pike]

There is at least one broken system of formations at every level, I think on our server there is even only one working 40 and 50

[daring swan]

what is wrong with this side, first no login so no forward to password and now that

[magic glen]

In all fairness, I know better. I know they do that kind of thing, but I did it anyway. My comment was more of a "that moment when".

[dull kiln]

Probably more like 80% of players

[turbid hound]

I was trying to be generous to get a response

But clearly the community managers refuse to address real issues with this release

[void wadi]

This is a great example of sheer stupidity. I can barely kill 5 level 44 with a 32 million pillum. I am seeing ships twice my size struggling on the same size ships. Apparently, all that grinding and rss spent on repair was for nothing since I can’t even spend the uncommon

[opal sleet]

🐂 💩 ... thanks for turning this into a pay to play game... I pride myself in doing all non-heroic events and now I can't even do that without spending money

[dense raptor]

Jesus this lag is insane after reset today

[bleak anchor]

Properly crewed I could kill 4 lvl44s on 1 hull using a 20mil Kelvin so your Pilum should be good, but you're right you can't spend the loot anyway so that's the problem

[opal sleet]

the next thing we will find out is that the PC and MAC clients are mining BTC

[sinful nest]

What is the pack in the store with 10 silent tokens? I don't see that anywhere. Heard people talking about it earlier

[turbid hound]

Not one single dollar

[ivory dove]

what crew are you using?

my best run was 7 44's and 6 41's, using a defensive below decks setup and severus/decius/charvanek as main crew.

ship was a 29m monaveen(defensive ship may have been what helped me)
(I'm ops44)

[bleak anchor]

It has 2 artifacts that really help with the hostiles and 10 of the tokens

[turbid hound]

The event store and battle pass are straight garbage anyways

[sinful nest]

@bleak anchor which pack is that?

[opal sleet]

we shouldn't have to spend to do the basic events, unless that is the plan... chase the F2P out, merge servers and keep the whales

and buying that pack tells them that what they are doing is ok...

[weary nimbus]

I found the recommended crew! 🤣🤣

[timber valve]

Day 2 of "SMS events you can't complete". Just wonderful.

[onyx wolf]

it's gone

[timber valve]

No lessons learned on day 1

[bleak anchor]

In the mobile store it's in a folder labeled temporal artifacts in web store it's just listed as such

[sinful nest]

Yeah they don't have tokens in it for me

[thorn fjord]

Weird, fairly sure it’s possible, someone I don’t know from this server messaged me the other day

[terse jackal]

Yup we're still tracking that

[subtle shore]

Any word on getting the fix for waves fixed?

[sinful nest]

Oh that package is gone? It was only a 24 hour package... lame

[slim sierra]

I get an error when I send you a friend request too LOL

[hot phoenix]

Wave defense errors with exception error 200. The other players in the wave do not load, it just keeps "scanning"

[frank pike]

Tracking is one thing, are fixes actually being tested and developed?

[sinful nest]

They need to just cancel that event until they rework those hostiles. What an unrealistic sms

[terse jackal]

Any of the events not scoring as they say they're supposed to be scoring?

[dreamy prism]

im not getting any points for grinding temporal disruptors in the event

[robust lake]

you can't grind them

[sinful nest]

Lol no one could finish the sms yesterday because they didn't give us enough tokens @terse jackal . Not enough time either. Also those hostiles need to be reworked.

[robust lake]

they are refined

[turbid hound]

Does not being able to kill and do any pulls to score count?

[short pewter]

Laaaaaaaaagggg

[indigo tangle]

You've been tracking this since the launch of formadas. Where's the progress? Is there any?

[terse jackal]

What event name specifically?

[robust lake]

they are misunderstanding

it's not a grind event, it's a refine event

[sinful nest]

It has to be the rare ones, the uncommon ones don't count

[shy hamlet]

the event scores for acquiring temporal disruptors, not temporal disruptor parts

[dreamy prism]

what rare ones?

[shy hamlet]

the thing it scores off of are what you refine into and your daily claim is

[sinful nest]

Lol we need more tokens...

Otherwise this event is impossible to complete

Like...this event should just be cancelled @terse jackal

[tepid lotus]

I'm surprised they haven't come out with a prime/refit for that.

[robust lake]

it's not impossible, i'll complete it easily

[quasi ember]

they need to remove the tokens all together, why is it token locked, plus locked behind timers on refinery? makes no sense

[timber valve]

And there lies the issue

[turbid hound]

In Other words, scopely doubled down on making ot clear they don't care a single bit that most players are being alienated and made sure the events running today can't be scored in by the normal player

[dreamy prism]

what do you do with the uncommon stuff?

[tepid lotus]

Whenever it's token locked, they're trying to artificially slow down the content because otherwise people will blow through it.

[timber valve]

Nothing

[opal sleet]

I play this game to reduce, not induce stress... why is Scopely so focused on driving non-whales out?

[dreamy prism]

well this is a completely pointless arc then. I cant kill anything with rare parts

[quasi ember]

there is no content tho, day 1 and uncommon is already obsolete

[robust lake]

except they won't, because it's always time gated by refines anyways

[turbid hound]

Hey acopely was being nice

They say the xindi grind took 5 hours

So this loop we can't even do at all

[robust lake]

these are what score in the event

[turbid hound]

That way it doesn't take any time

[robust lake]

not the parts

[quasi ember]

no one wants loops in the first place.

[timber valve]

Only way Scopely could be nice here is just giving out a token comp chest to everyone

[dreamy prism]

scopely is inept, why would they do that heh

[bleak anchor]

I mean there's dropping the ball on launch days and then there's blatantly chucking the ball in your face.....this is the latter....

[steel sapphire]

Yep I can’t kill more than 1.5 51s a run so I’m cooked for this arc

[turbid hound]

Do you mean acopemy isn't get paid Ads revenue for the amount of hours per day they get us to waste on grinds that suck?

[opal sleet]

they aren't inept, they are pushing in to the greed zone

[patent rover]

they know exactly what they're doing

[tepid lotus]

You missed tripping over the ball and falling over on launch days too.

[dreamy prism]

its not greed when you cant even attempt to do the events. Thats just plain ole inept heh

[turbid hound]

I love how the community management only say utterly useless stuff right now and are completely ignoring the real comaints and ghosting chat

[quasi ember]

what i mean is, they gave us a 2022 frame for 2024 new years, that right there is scopely in a nutshell, incapable of anything world class or ground breaking besides going down as one of the worst companies of all time.

[bleak anchor]

That would be insinuating scopely messed up....they did not....they did exactly what they planned this time it just screwed everyone and forces more purchasing

[opal sleet]

in all $eroiu$ne$$, i$ that $copely'$ current drive ? Let'$ get rid of the $emi-$pender$ and focu$ on the whale$ ?

[timber valve]

Too many "we're looking into it" and zero "we're fixing this now"

[quasi ember]

the semi spenders, stopped spending years ago.

[modest echo]

Any info if waves are now working ok?

[subtle shore]

still broken

[bleak anchor]

I'm a semi spender and bought a package this morning

[flint ruin]

Not inept. The loop is doable if you crank up your spending.

They know exactly what they are doing.

[quasi ember]

its been years and incursions still doesnt run without major issues. they just arent capable, they are just a copy paste company, stealing someone elses formula and trying to copy it.

[opal sleet]

I'm a monthly baby battlepa$$ buyer... and the occa$ional monthly elite mat$... but I might not even buy thi$ month'$ out of principle

[harsh parcel]

Waves are broken (more so than normal) ‘exception error 2000’

[dreamy prism]

its not doable even if I "cranked" up spending. Not without dropping thousands, or probably tens of thousands. And thats a laugh so.. inept.

[steel sapphire]

Unless it benefits the players then they’ll immediately do something about it. Looking you refinery bug.

[bleak anchor]

Did anyone else's warp tokens disappear from exborg store after reset?

[shy hamlet]

no

[magic glen]

silent hostile tokens? mine are still there.

[shy hamlet]

i'm still seeing them

[bleak anchor]

Weird I drew mine this morning to finish event and now they are gone gone....no picture no timer nothing

[terse jackal]

I'm following up on the refine temporal event right now

See if there are any changes that may need to be made for it

[harsh parcel]

Scoring is goosed

[bleak anchor]

If isn't the question

[ivory dove]

they completely disappear if you have too many tokens, they come back a few minutes after you drop below the limit.

[flint ruin]

That’s exactly it…you get it now. That’s what they’re pushing for. It’s not ineptness - it’s an intentional strategy.

They are trying to force players to slow down Ops advancements and spend to get (much) stronger at lower ops than they might otherwise reach. It’s like a sand trap…they push you into the 40s relatively quickly these days, and then get you stuck unless you spend or grind a looooooooong time.

[harsh parcel]

Waves are goosed

[dreamy prism]

Level 57 is screwed, rare refines at high levels that are not possible to do. Maybe with epic g5 at level 60+.

[bleak anchor]

The fact they keep throwing Ops40+ specialty ships in our face proves this

[dreamy prism]

thats a strategy that will just have people quit. Its called killing your customer base. Inept.

[cold sand]

Silent Q's Trial :D...they aren't supposed to exist

[knotty meteor]

Hi there,a suggestion for you,during a base defence you can repair it only in base mode,not in system view. Why don't you "take out" the possibility to repair your base? This way you don't loose the view on the battle around your base

[signal escarp]

Lvls 55 can just smile and wave. Luckily I'm about 2 months away from sanctus so i will be able to kill what i need to refine.....in two months

[untold tartan]

yeah took me a year to get from 49 to 50

[steel sapphire]

Power event is not scoring correctly. Just did a 120k power research and only got a 120k points. When it’s supposed to be 15 per. @terse jackal

[terse jackal]

let me double check on this now Heezy

[magic glen]

Meanwhile I unlocked 1 Epic quality artifact and completed it in one go.

[timber valve]

Scored fine for me. Did something like a 84k and got 1.26 mil points

[shy hamlet]

odd, i'm getting 15x points per research.

which one did you do?

[untold tartan]

and then took me 3 days to get from 50 to 52 lol stipud

[flint ruin]

The customer base that matters is the big spenders. People like you and I, we’re just content for the real players. And that’s ok - focus on what keeps the lights on - I can respect that.

Another way to look at this is…they’re running out of ideas on making meaningful content for whales. Contrary to common perception, whales don’t actually like buying packs just to cover repair bills from pounding on each other. The whales on my server are top-50ish across the entire player base, and their activity level has plummeted over the past few months.

Game is at a crossroads…the easy money is gone…will be interesting to see what happens next.

[terse jackal]

Good to know, still going to talk to the team and make sure we're good to go

[opal sleet]

now that has been addressed... how about back to back token draining events? is there anything on the horizon to at least let some people complete them both?

[exotic berry]

@terse jackal does #⭐-official-announcements message mean that incursion store being made available post incursions is no longer being tracked by the team?

[nocturne matrix]

Anyone else having an issue with waves?

[exotic berry]

yes - we've been unable to run waves since arcfall

[warm pivot]

of course... now when more than just those "too low" have problems with enemies (waves) you hear the concerns of them... -.- @terse jackal
just let the whales who want a challenge hit down again so they feel more powerful than us lowbies -.-

[terse jackal]

Oh let me add that

Good shout

[exotic berry]

ok cool, thx!

[terse jackal]

Added

[nocturne matrix]

At least it’s not just us 😂

[maiden portal]

@terse jackal Could you please be more specific on the grading point? As I'm ops 55 and I just don't have chance to be involved to Silent hostiles event and getting tokens for event store due to the fact that my bracket require rare part which my level unable to kill...

[chilly cypress]

@terse jackal what about incursions Exo Comps?

[terse jackal]

Is this about the Exception Error 200? This is a bug/error so we are tracking that. The difficulty of wave defense is intended

[exotic berry]

misery loves company 😉

[timber valve]

You can run them, but it takes LOT of coordination filling them. Invisible ships and then you don't see anything until it starts

[terse jackal]

I just added to the announcement

[whole sleet]

No update on waves @terse jackal ?

[sharp dune]

Has anyone else found waves almost unplayable?

[terse jackal]

We've heard this feedback and are looking into the data to see if any changes on these hostiles need to be made

[plain rain]

@terse jackal what about waves? They’re not working on server 14

[terse jackal]

Exception Error 200 is the first bullet point

[chilly cypress]

https://tenor.com/view/who-is-the-man-you-are-the-man-you-got-it-all-you-gif-4392995

[warm pivot]

my comment was about you guys hearing concerns when it comes to multiple difficultylevels

[terse jackal]

This is a bug which is different than intended difficulty

[timid dew]

@terse jackal they need to lowered the cool down for the warp tokens to 12 hours or include daily gift chests during the arc. Really sucks to have events but no way to harvest the RSS needed for the event. 2 trips a day is not enough.

[tranquil goblet]

Hey @terse jackal , did you see my DM because I'm feeling I got robbed by Scopely customers service team yesterday?

[whole sleet]

Thanks, this is the thing behind you appearing on your own in waves when you're actually in a full team?

[warm pivot]

the second the powerful guys cant faceroll contend anymore you guys look at it

[dreamy prism]

or they could make uncommon disruptors do something heh

[lucid junco]

Maybe I am the first to ask this: but what about testing BEFORE the update?

[indigo tangle]

@terse jackal What about a daily chest for 1 wave 10 clearance worth of S31 credits until waves are fixed?

[fickle vapor]

Lol at least for wave 4.

[indigo tangle]

Waves are completely unplayable right now, and engineering's ineptness as usual, is affecting the players.

[terse jackal]

The goal is always to fix the issue first and then talk about what comps we may need to do

[nimble glade]

😎👌

[terse jackal]

So we're doubling down on getting these items addressed first and formost

[indigo tangle]

[maiden portal]

Thanks. Hopefully something quick as the days are going and events are expiring.

[dusky cove]

It likely would be easier to just make a good comp chest and give it a week long cooldown and put it under gifts permanently 😇

[tranquil goblet]

Sooo @terse jackal you want our money but will not give our rewards for those purchase

[full light]

Yesterday's events were impossible. As a 45 with a T5 Kelvin and even with the recommended crew (that I had), I could only kill one silent. This is the first arc I couldn't complete a single day one event. Guess this is the arc I quit for real.

[green ginkgo]

Great job developing events most don’t stand a chance of doing. Makes the event store 100% useless

[vapid onyx]

Ha! @terse jackal announced "they are looking into people's concerns about Temporal disruptors being level specific " .... Concerns????!?!? No Sir it's out and out OUTRAGE......
A simple "fix" would be ... removel the whole "travel token" garbage .... if I as a lvl 52 w/ a tier 8 Pilum can only get ONE kill per trip of a lvl 51 Silent.... that's fine..... but let me repair and go back as many times as I need to ....Just like we have to in Reptilian Xhindi space.... And OR give us a refinery to "cash in lower level loot to get the higher level ones we need....
NO ONE would expect a 1 to 1 exchange

[opal sleet]

not like this event store was loaded with great stuff anyhow

[thorn fjord]

Discord is weird, thats all i can say… Collateral Damage managed to sort of send me a message, and i allow messages from server members apparently, according to the settings, i did find the “server dm” option was off, but you’d think that would block everyone

[stray pawn]

@terse jackal when you buy the pack giving 10 Silent Nebula tokens nowhere does it say this will cause the daily reward claim to be removed. This is selling under false pretences since you are effectively paying for something you already get free!

[green ginkgo]

For ops41 it would of helped get an officer that may help with the arc but no chance now

[cinder prism]

Not to worry. The Event Store is 100% worthless to most players I’ve spoken to. So if you miss out on a few coins it’s no biggie. I’ve never seen my alliance less engaged with an arc’s content than this one …

[warm pivot]

https://tenor.com/view/grave-error-catherine-ohara-moira-moira-rose-schitts-creek-gif-20774539

[twilit lintel]

idk bout you but i love the event store good for f2p like me

[opal sleet]

made it $o much ea$ier to $kip event$ than ever before

[terse jackal]

Or just let people use the past grade as well. So if you're on G4 rares you also have the option to turn in G4 uncommons

This is just a me idea

[flint ruin]

Still no Nova bps in Event Store. I see Northcutt bps so I’m obviously high enough to qualify…

[terse jackal]

You get 10 tokens when the limit is 8, so it going on cooldown doesn't impact the fact you can't go over the limit no?

[dusky cove]

Downright silly the event store doesn't have NX-01 BP

[shy sequoia]

Yeah and this silent sms was such a huge hit (not) and gets swept under the rug. Gotcha

[nimble nymph]

@terse jackal #⭐-official-announcements message what about waves broken?

[green ginkgo]

Doesn’t help those that can only kill one 41 even with maxed ships

[indigo tangle]

Not really, the NX-01 is mostly garbage and already has a f2p path.

[terse jackal]

That's exception erro 200

The first bullet point

[solid sparrow]

@terse jackal Any update on the terrible event store? Is there any point to giving suggestions to be added?

[dusky cove]

although between the difficutly of the SMS, how few event coins we seem to be getting (sure hope that changes) and the poor contents of the event store it doesn't seem like we're expected to use it anyway

[terse jackal]

Made sure to look and add things to #1214613753384013905

[hybrid vector]

I had a lv 42 player with best ships, maxed enterprise and maxed augur ask for crew advice to hit the new hostiles. We are brainstorming but I could use help here. Please let me know if you have an idea. Thank you.

[nimble nymph]

it just sounded they pop up everywhere, not wave specific 😉

[stray pawn]

No not really. 1 no where is this stated when you buy a pack 2. If you have bought a pack why should you lose free tokens? You are effectively charging me for the free tokens. 3. No limit is stated on the tab unlike other items with limits and it doesn’t go into cool-down it disappears. This will breach several countries consumer laws

[vapid onyx]

That would be fine too ... while 51 & 52 are "technically " G5 you can't throw us into a grouping that pretty much requires us to have a G5 uncommon ship to defeat the hostiles ... when we don't GET a G5 warship till 53

[solid sparrow]

Good to hear… but we’ll hold you to this 😁👍

[turbid hound]

Here at scopely we know you have coplaints and we just wanted to acknowledge we don't care

[terse jackal]

They happen in voyager systems sometimes, but the big spot over the past 24 hours is WD

[remote plover]

The mechanic for the new hostiles should play as follows: if required to go into a lvl 51 system, then an avg player should be able to complete 1 chest pull from killing hostiles before dying. The 2nd token would be used to try to earn more rewards to try for a multi pull after a couple days or so. This is how hostiles should be scaled to keep players engaged and happy.

[terse jackal]

Happy to raise this with the team, thanks for the feedback

[rustic oar]

I'm missing out on wave defense refines 😦

[dusky cove]

What else of interest is in there that isn't available F2P? I'll likely use it to get the last archer shards I need to unlock him but beyond that I can't see anything tempting besides just grabbing synd exp

at least getting the NX-01 would save me UC xindi credits which I could use for favours

[solid sparrow]

Its a bit of a self-solving problem, the events won’t pay out enough store currency to matter anyway 😆

[indigo tangle]

I'd say the most value in the event store is the FT catalysts, for those that are engaging with the FT loop.

[warm pivot]

thats just making it easier for those who wanted a challenge...

[dusky cove]

Likely but an event store that boils down to "guess I'll grab catalysts and use whatever I have left for synd exp" isn't exactly impressive especially since the catalysts won't even get me a FT level up (which could fail as it is)

[plain rain]

@eco also I have to log onto your website that never works just to get a mission key. Fix the website it’s ridiculous.

[indigo tangle]

officer shards if you're short to unlock are always valuable.

[magic glen]

website works fine

[steel quartz]

C'mon, this has to be a bug

[void wadi]

It states right there that Max is 8. Once you drop below that number you will be able to claim more.

[dusky cove]

IIRC store I got around 400k credit so 36k to unlock archer 150k on catalysts which is the max I can spend on it and 150k on synd exp which is the max I can spend on it and the rest for random stuff 😅 . I unlocked tucker, future sourcing is unclear and the mining officers are bleh

[rare smelt]

😂 funny new announcement, so we are on the same page they say , we are not even in the same book it seems 🤦

[shy sequoia]

We're reading Hamlet, they're on Spiderman issue #203

[oak basin]

so i see we have another event with event store currency today that is once again dependent on the borderline-to-outright unplayable new hostiles

[dusky cove]

at ops 49 with a T6 korinar janeway doc edata works best for me

[opal meadow]

What’s an excrusion store? 🤭🤣

[rare smelt]

An new secret one

[plucky roost]

This game will die this year if Scopely does not deliver on their “Quality over Quantity” promise, which has thus far been a blatant lie.

[flint ruin]

Ferengi Whip…is there a f2p path for that? (Don’t know…asking)

[opal sleet]

https://tenor.com/view/maury-sigh-gif-5851133302025912289

[steep phoenix]

Scopely will not deliver on quality, but will persist on broken quantity.
They.just.don’t.care

[dusky cove]

nope

[oak basin]

https://tenor.com/view/laughs-no-seth-meyers-late-night-with-seth-meyers-nope-no-way-gif-14012461

[plucky roost]

They better start caring soon if they want to keep milking this cash cow

[flint ruin]

They…know…that.

[plucky roost]

We’ve lost at least 5 teammates over the last couple of weeks specifically because of the continued ineptitude

[steep phoenix]

Most new officers of the last few arcs are not reasonably unlockable f2p. Scopely doesnt want their content to be used

[dusky cove]

Eh scopely could release a HF of 7/9 in a skinsuit and make millions on it

[plucky roost]

We have a couple of 60+ players going on long hiatus and may not return

[indigo tangle]

Hearing this everywhere, sadly.

[dusky cove]

same on my server, unsurprising with 3 grinds in 3 months with terrible quality and way overtuned mobs

[hushed cobalt]

History is just repeating itself… Enterprise killed Trek for years, it might kill this game😅

[opal meadow]

I’m still waiting on the HF of a hand clutching a pearl necklace. 🤣

[chilly delta]

is ther a grade 5 token space for materials

[steep phoenix]

I wonder what paramount thinks about scopely giving the star trek branche a bad name. A normal company would sack em all

[indigo tangle]

Bajoran token space in Dominion/Jem'Hadar territory.

[deep eagle]

@terse jackal I appreciate your update, however I miss a critical point about:

• the tight limitation of the new tokens
• the insane ops appropriate strength of the hostiles in certain ops ranges
• the inability to complete sms events due to the afformentioned points
• updates on the event store

[dusky cove]

"oooh look how much money our shareholders are making nomnomnom"

[turbid siren]

Scopely says “we are checking” more than the Ferrari pit crew 🤦🏻‍♂️

[indigo tangle]

Paramount doesn't gaf as long as they get their licensing fees.

[oak basin]

it's paramount. they don't care as long as they get paid. they're just scopely that make movies instead of games. same for cbs.

[steep phoenix]

Everything that was sent to the team the last 5 years is still at the team. They call their dustbin ‘the team’

[indigo tangle]

Paramount is circling the drain right now anyhow. Lots of rumors and potential upheavals in the near future in the entertainment biz.

[cinder prism]

It’s not just the big players leaving that I’m seeing. It’s the mid tier players that used to be really active who are just giving up. The game used to be fun. Scopely have done a great job of turning it in to a P2W grind fest 🤷‍♂️

[opal sleet]

not even pay to win... almost pay to play

[plucky roost]

Yeah. I specifically mentioned the bigs because that’s the ones Scopley cares about

[void wadi]

I said that same thing in AC earlier.

[wispy pebble]

So 5* rare parts out of reach so never open any boxes but got 4* parts but wont let you refine silly situation @terse jackal

[dusky cove]

Not surprising as scopely painted themselves into a corner. Either reds are designed with F2P/low spenders in mind and dolphines/whales have no reason to spend or they're designed with dolphins/whaels in mind (logical as they pay the bills) and stuff becomes increasingly (near) impossible for the F2P/low spenders due to an ever growing power disparity even at the same ops due to an ever growing list of primes, paid only officer tiers, buildings which F2P are years from maxing,.... They realise this to a small degree hence dolamide from waves etc. but it's still too little too late

[steep phoenix]

If i was an it guy working at scopely, i would be very ashamed the way scopely handles its customers. I’d be searching for a job elsewere

[oak basin]

1.) not as long as whales are willing to spend just to have what someone else doesn't. 2.) if they'd smacked us with faith of the heart as startup music, that might have tipped the scales, lol.

[fathom flower]

@terse jackal @heady moon any word on waves being fixed again?

[dusky cove]

Would be nice if TP officers got updated as well, sitting on over 1,5m patterns though I guess I could tier mariner or so

[indigo tangle]

They've got top people on it right now. top people!

[thorny mirage]

@terse jackal any chance for get NX01 bps in event store ?

[dusky cove]

you're putting a lot of pressure on those unpaid interns man

[ornate fossil]

100 clics for buy 😂

[round parcel]

we cant even participate in this arc because we cant kill ops specific hostiles

what are we supposed to do?

[ornate fossil]

paypal

[round parcel]

no amount of money can even fix this

[keen sleet]

It’s a joke. A sad joke

[stable tree]

But have you tried EVEN MORE money?

[dusky cove]

https://tenor.com/view/hasbulla-money-gif-25191018

[stable tree]

Considered selling your children?

[keen sleet]

Uh….. hell no

[flint ruin]

This is it exactly. It’s all rooted, fundamental, in the p2w pvp power gap. There’s no way out without alienating one side or the other…it’s just math.

[dull kiln]

They don't want the sticker shock of presenting how much it'll cost, so click per blueprint. Plus they can only code it to be 100 claims, so if someone could get 100 bp in a claim...well...Scopely needs better programmers

[fallow wing]

that's incorrect. Just buy stuff until you're ops 70 and have a maxed borg cube and kill anything you seen

[terse jackal]

Just put out an announcement about exception error 200

[indigo tangle]

I'd prefer the mansion and a few nice luxury cars instead.

[terse jackal]

Make sure to put it in #1214613753384013905

[fallow wing]

to each their own 🤣

[dusky cove]

Yeah they've been warned about this for year. Without a way to (eventually) get primes and other stuff at some point the power disparity will grow so large that reds are either a joke or darn near impossible or at least way too time consuming.

[fallow wing]

but yeah: balancing of hostile strength has been "questionable" recently

[stable tree]

By "questionable" you mean "Not attempted?"

[fallow wing]

do I have to change my name? 😄

[hushed cobalt]

I was okay with Xindi because of no tokens for Reptilian ships. But putting these behind tokens AND making loot specific to ops level is beyond stupid. You make hostiles harder, just don’t punish us for trying stuff out, then locking the door until tomorrow to try again.

[fallow wing]

There is a reason why I used the "" around questionable

[solid kayak]

forget events store sectional stuffers what about store redirect stuffers where trying to go do consumable or into the alliance store going to a completely different section and having to manually direct it to the right section?

[fallow wing]

otherwise I would have to use swear words 😄

[civic geyser]

Is this mission new as I seem to have a few new low lvl systems popped up

[twilit lintel]

where

[terse jackal]

It's only been 24 hours, you can't yet 😛

[hushed cobalt]

Honestly, after this month, just take a break from new content. Just fix the game for a few months.

[dusky cove]

they won't, the frustration isn't a bug, it's a feature to drive sales

[twilit lintel]

yup its blank on my end sweet new place to go look at

[steep phoenix]

They did promise quality over quantity, but that clearly was a lie. Scopely cannot be trusted. Period

[oak trench]

THIS

[fluid shore]

"sILeNt EnEmIeS cAn Be FoUnD iN"

[north lantern]

All these updates and nothing about field training that is still just as broken as it was before

[timber sail]

Any chance that you could give us a few extra Silent warp tokens to complete this SMS - not gonna be easy considering how hard the hostiles are if you are at the wrong ops level

[abstract glade]

They have an other opinion about quality then the rest of he community

[plucky roost]

Several times, recently

[fathom flower]

It's more than just that. Hostiles disappear until they are hitting the station causing a failure early, don't see anyone in the wave with others for 7-8 minutes. More laggy than usual which is hard to do. And then once it's over players are stuck in the system and can't leave to run another for 10+ minutes

[terse jackal]

Ok let me follow up on this as well. Thanks cold

[fluid shore]

Can someone follow up on this, please

[stable tree]

Like, yesterday, would be good

[fathom flower]

Oh and day 2, the new silent enemies and new artifacts are still bad imo

[stable tree]

Just turn off this arc and fast forward to the next one

[fathom flower]

It will be even worse

[twilit lintel]

what is this

[plucky roost]

A system, i’d think

[twilit lintel]

the blue thing

[fathom flower]

This yrs quality has dropped month after months I fully expect next month to just be as bad or worse than this one

[twilit lintel]

i see it now

[round parcel]

thanks for making the arc unplayable for some of us

very much appreciated

[vapid onyx]

They need to just eliminate the travel tokens for this loop.... Especially if they aren't going to "fix" the grind expectations

[stable tree]

As long as you expect utter abject failure, this team will deliver.

[timber sail]

In general, I dot the i's and cross the t's in the game. I have most things in pretty good shape. If I can't complete a regular SMS... something is wong 😂

[oak trench]

git big ships via cc or gtfo

[timber sail]

that's a reasonable idea!

[wispy horizon]

Waves are not working

[wild vigil]

WAVE ISSUES CONTINUE: Now getting an error exception 200 issue trying to enter a wave

[boreal oasis]

same, came here to see if there was anything i was missing

[dusky cove]

I'm mainly puzzled by what they're trying to achieve with this new loop. The past few arcs seemed geared at helping and encouraging people to go to higher ops levels while this arc does the exact opposite "You tiered without having a strong enough ship or the credits and mats to upgrade your shipyard and build a Gx UC/Rare/...? Bad bad player, you lose access to the refinery until you catch your ship up" which seems like it'll encourage people to tier up much slower.

[indigo tangle]

No, they'll just go further and deliver better failure than you could've ever hoped for them to achieve.

[dry tide]

Waves are glitching. Exception error 200.

[ivory hull]

Because the goal is to make you move up so fast that you now have to spend cash to play.

[dusky cove]

tokens aren't the issue, the red strength is

[indigo tangle]

Both are.

[wispy horizon]

Waves can’t see others in system

[dusky cove]

except now people will upgrade much slower

[vapid onyx]

@terse jackal did just post in the announcements that they are looking into that

[fathom mesa]

Has scopely acknowleged the problem about aquatic weapons in Q trials yet btw?

[terse jackal]

Yes should be addressed hopefully this month

[twilit lintel]

@terse jackal what is this fo

[fathom mesa]

Great to hear thanks.
You are doing a great job btw, dont listen to the haters

[vapid onyx]

100% ... but they won't adjust that .... IDK about your situation, but I can only kill 1 per run of the 51s they "expect" me to kill .... if I have to repair and return , I'M fine w/that .... just like what we have to do with Reptilian Xhindi

[frank loom]

lol…should…hopefully…maybe this month. 😂

[timber sail]

yeah, removing the warp tokens would help those players in the borderline ops regions

[dusky cove]

due to me camping at 49 I can do the double refine atm

[timber sail]

if you were ops 51, you would be screwed 😂

[dusky cove]

why do you think I haven't gone to ops 51 yet?

[vapid onyx]

I'm Ops 52 Louie ... I have a T8 Pilum

[timber sail]

you will have to go at some point!

[terse jackal]

❤️

[timber sail]

also ops 52, T7 kori, T5 tribune

neither good enough for what I need to do for the SMS

I'll need to rush to 53 and pickup the corvus before it gets any better

[terse jackal]

Woah you just hit me with the "fo"

[dusky cove]

I have a T6 kori, first want a T8 kori before I even think of going ops 51

[terse jackal]

You from Chicago?

Where is this Tidus?

[timber sail]

you'd still be screwed for this content with a T8 kori at ops 51

[twilit lintel]

sorry meant to say for

[terse jackal]

Oh lolol

[dusky cove]

likely, this content seems to expect you to have primes etc. at a certain point

[vapid onyx]

You should be in about the same boat as me .... you should be able to kill about 1 , and have a tiny sliver of Hull left ... so eliminating the travel tokens would allow you to repair and return as many time as you need to get your refines

[timber sail]

it expects you to have the strongest ship in your bracket, so 49/50 is a good place to be, as is 53/54

[civic geyser]

Here Eco

[timber sail]

I can do 4

[oak trench]

55 is rip

[terse jackal]

Looks like a voyager system correct?

[timber sail]

Tribune - Severus crew, cerritos boost. Gets me 4 x 51s

[steel sapphire]

If your 51 to 52 your supposed to have 4* epic that’s scopleys logic 🤬

[ivory hull]

@terse jackal It's super clear that the hostiles here in this arc are vastly overpowered for the players levels. SMSes could not be completed and SLBs are looking empty becaue people can't kill the hostiles to finish. What's being done to balance this? Not being able to even finish basic SMS ladders is crazy.

[vapid onyx]

Interesting... I have tried multiple crews .... haven't done a ceritos buff yet to do a run

[timber sail]

Still super borderline for completing a basic SMS though - that's bad design

[terse jackal]

Thank you

[timber sail]

Cerritos buff will keep your shields up - try the severus crew

[dusky cove]

I'm still hoping they'll be retuned before I'm 51

[round parcel]

50-52 are completely screwed

[timber sail]

same for 55s

[shy hamlet]

the new systems appear to have a phlox-related mining node (uncertain the point - events maybe?), housing, or missions

[steel sapphire]

Notice you have a 4* epic

That’s the goal to force you to buy the best ship in your bracket.

[timber sail]

a strong g4 rare or epic might get you something, but very little

[civic geyser]

No idea as my ops isn’t that high

[vapid onyx]

No, that's their logic NOW .... they've pushed people to progress past that and skip the G4 epic until THIS Arc .... now the ones who took that path are getting the 💩 sandwich

[round parcel]

oh yes buy a g4 epic thats only going to be useful for a couple of weeks

[timber sail]

the content encourages you to stick at 49/50, then blast all the way to 53/54... but who knew to plan for that 😂

[steel sapphire]

My 81 million Newton can kill 2 maybe usually 1.5 per trip

[timber sail]

Severus crew with cerritos buff?

[steel sapphire]

Haven’t tried buff yet

[timber sail]

do it

[steel sapphire]

I’ll try it tomorrow when I get more tokens I’m cooked for today as well as yesterday 🤣

[timber sail]

cerritos buff might get you 4/5 per hull

[solid sparrow]

Problem 1: Not enough event store currency given out in events, and what is being given out is in events that difficult for many to complete.
Problem 2: Nothing interesting in event store to spend it on anyway.

[vapid onyx]

No real way to "Blast" to 53 since it requires G5 Uncommon materials .... that you don't accumulate until you get to 51 +

[subtle vortex]

Any plans for compensation for the waves being unplayable with error 200? Some currency to tide us over while the issue is dealt with?

[timber sail]

and the g5 commons

[thorn plinth]

We can still do battlepass without the silent.

[steel sapphire]

People need to experiment with these new hostile to find best crew for each player yet they locked em behind two measly tokens it’s bs 🤬

[vapid onyx]

G5 commons can be bought w/ Lat ... so that's "doable"

[timber sail]

I'm moving as fast as I can, but agree... no real way to blast it. Same as moving from 53 straight to 56... needs rare g5 mats which take time to accumulate. So you just get screwed if you are caught at the wrong ops level here 😂

[timber sail]

"doable" 😂

[steel sapphire]

I’m in the same boat except I’ve ran out of rss to do the final push to 53

[timber sail]

should be easier once we pickup those g5 uncommons... but until then, pain session 😂

if they removed the warp tokens that would help

[steel sapphire]

Sad part is I have all the northcutt bps just can’t get there 😭

[dusky cove]

same for ops 55 from what I hear

[vapid onyx]

@timber sail I was 50 around the 1st of the year , and held there to "catch up" on some research I wanted before my push... I started that "push" about a week ago.... talk about bad timing

[timber sail]

yep, also rough for the normal Xindi grind right

15k for the double pull at 49, 50k for the double pull at 50!

[steel sapphire]

Anyone else having issues with research not scoring correctly on the sms for today?

[fathom mesa]

whats the double then?

[timber sail]

ahh sorry, got that wrong... corrected it

[dusky cove]

wait whaaaaaaaaaat? please tell me that's a joke

[timber sail]

that's no joke

Make sure you camp hard at 49

so that you can very quickly move to 53

pretty much everything gets significantly worse (recent content/arcs) the moment you move to 50

[flint ruin]

Yep. I’m in the same 51-52 trap. And the problem with Xindi now is I have so much of the free crit research done that even crewing “right” causes huge drop in amount of damage I can land before I get obliterated…unless I spend $ to get the “floor” buffs.

Whatever…there will be another loop soon enough to replace this one…ignoring all things Xindi until it’s easy.

[solid sparrow]

I have some alliance mates who planned their 49-53 journey well, are currently at 51 or 52 and have been horribly punished this arc for it.

[timber sail]

you are not alone...

[vapid onyx]

Regular Xhindi grind , I'm personally fine with ... again ... I'm fine w/ going back and repairing /rinse a d repeat .... yes it's MUCH longer than the "5 minute grind" as advertised by $copley.... but again ... a player can still do it.... THIS one being locked behind a "travel token wall" isn't

[silver parcel]

aww yeah

guy's in my bracket made me work for it, lol

[timber sail]

Anyways, better get home from work! Good luck to all the ops 51, 52, 55 players out there! We are all hurtin' 😂

[flint ruin]

I don’t mind “challenging”. I very much mind “do this stuff to be stronger so we can 🤬 with you for having done it.”

[vapid onyx]

I'm not even complaining about the repair cost to do that... but we should have the opportunity to DO that

[dusky cove]

that seems near impossible due to no acces to G5 or anything like that....

[thorn plinth]

@silver parcel grats!!

[timber sail]

49->52 is pretty quick... 52->53 less quick

[vapid onyx]

But yet $copley makes you be G5 a week before the Arc to be able to get the G5 arc rewards in the battlepass ... so... they should have known they were gonna screw a TON of people

[silver parcel]

was pretty close

passed out, guy in 2nd really went ham

[flint ruin]

They did know.

[thorn plinth]

Ahh yea the top three was tight

[dusky cove]

I'm about ready to go ops 50 (just waiting for a good sms) but can't imagine stockpiling enough to go from 50 to 52 + stockpiling the mats to get a G5 to a decent tier in the next 6 months

[timber sail]

you might do it a bit quicker than that

the new content really pushes and camp hard - rush hard approach

[vapid onyx]

I'm just thankful I wasn't a WEAK 50 before I made my push .... I see some 52's on my server who are under 90 Mil power and I know they are WOEFULLY lacking in research and are never gonna be able to kill these hostiles

[timber sail]

49 -> 53 as quick as you can

I'm a 131M power ops 52 and I'm super borderline on this content

[vagrant vapor]

just tried to run a wave. that was an... experience...

[vapid onyx]

50 you're fine .... the 51-53 is is where you'll be screwed as it relates to this arc

[vapid onyx]

110M here.... but as I said... I JUST hit 52 last week

[civic geyser]

All this content people can’t do I’m sure isn’t putting us lower lvl players off carrying on playing

[silver parcel]

So that error wave 200 is something special..

[dusky cove]

I was planning to go to 50 this arc and then continue prepping for G5 but the idea of going from 15k to 50k xindi scraps per pull makes me nauseous

[timber sail]

I don't mind a challenge at all, but they need to adjust it to make it less borderline. Just remove the warp tokens... that effectively fixes it

Trit is no probs

[timber sail]

for double pulls

I now do the 10k single pull, but it's slowed my progression on the Xindi right down

[glossy island]

Or at least give a bunch of extra bonus tokens while the events are running, like they do for the Borg events

[solid kayak]

20 a day maybe?

[silver parcel]

Joined an alliance wave, couldn't see anyone, they couldn't see me, each person was basically in their own instance for the first 3 waves. Then the 4th rolled around, and everything showed at once.

[burnt briar]

2 is really a bunch

js

lol

[silver parcel]

Rest of the waves, hostiles kept phasing in and out of existence.

[vapid onyx]

Honestly what @terse jackal said to me in response earlier was a great idea too. . Let us "in-between" levels use either the either loots ... the 51-54 OR the 46-50

[glossy island]

well, 2 is more than enough for the borg stuff. This one needs a lot more than that tho.

[graceful swift]

@terse jackal can we get an ultra recruit pool update? its been like a year since its been updated iirc.

[vapid onyx]

But I think there are 2 chances at that .... Slim and NONE

[solid kayak]

not on this one definitely not happening.

[burnt briar]

facts like 10-20 a day lol

[dusky cove]

which would still grind that loop down to a halt so now the question becomes what ops 50 adds to outweigh the xindi loop freeze

[burnt briar]

practice runs lol

[timber valve]

That's everyone dude. Have to all join, confirm they joined, then after it starts, restart the game, and then, maybe after another error, it finally refreshes and you see others, but still somewhat buggy

[burnt briar]

😜

[formal halo]

In the Rest of the world Code 200 means success. For scopely this is an error. Success is an Error

[silver parcel]

bah, i refined before the event

[fluid shore]

<@&509690795536941056> Hey there, is this ever going to be addressed or nah?

[silver parcel]

check the announcement fortis

[slow mica]

No one never check that lmao I

[fluid shore]

Nothing addressed this

[silver parcel]

oh, sorry misread it

[lucid junco]

Question: i only can refine this 5* stuff. But as lv 52 i cant kill this lv51 hostiles for 5*

[wind lichen]

the announcement does not address the level 38 problem

[silver parcel]

that's not on the patch notes anymore.

[wind lichen]

worst event ever.

[silver parcel]

Was probably a typo/old info

[fluid shore]

Just re-clarifying they're forcing content ops37+ for either whales or ascended players...

[wind lichen]

38+ really

im just leveled to 38. and thers no hostile to take down haha

[silver parcel]

They opened it up too soon, like with waves and xindi.

[vagrant vapor]

not too soon, it's targeted at the top 0.1% players

"it's meant to be challenging" - ie pay up and it's easier

i buy battlepass, i don't understand how ftp keep playing either 😂

[dapper scaffold]

Almost every screen has some type of error...Quality!

[tropic sorrel]

is there a 4 * temportal parts refinery? i see a 5*

[vagrant vapor]

i don't see quantity there, at least 😂

[silver parcel]

The gift that keeps on giving

[green ginkgo]

The refinery will depend on what ops level you are. If you only see 5* probably means that is the level you need to hit

[lucid sphinx]

Waves are laging like hell with exception error 200.
How can we continue to grow ??
Will you give us what we are currently loosing?
@heady moon

[dapper scaffold]

I wasn't be facetious about every screen.

[mental gull]

This work on armadas?

[silver parcel]

It has an exception for assaults and station defense, so i would assume yes

[terse jackal]

I'm confused, the grammar or are they not in those systems?

They are most likely the story hostiles

[silver parcel]

The system is empty eco

[dull kiln]

System is empty same as the center system (the hub) of the Actian system. Are there supposed to be some hostiles before the token gates?

[terse meadow]

Of course it works...you have to pay for it... It's the rest that doesn't work 🤣

[vagrant vapor]

tell me you're not playing the game, without telling me you're not playing the game

[void yoke]

Change my name to yellow? 🤔

[vagrant vapor]

YellowArchKnightHough

[terse jackal]

No the only reason for those systems are for the missions. Tokens are needed for the hostiles that drop the loot

[silver parcel]

Might've been an older screenshot because the patch notes make no mention of that system now.

[wind lichen]

@terse jackal how do you guys expect lower levels ie: 38-40... to do this event.. if we can't take down a 41 hostile in the token system?

[silver parcel]

you're not expected to

[dull kiln]

Even if the hostiles had no loot, it could be really nice being able to test again hostiles in the hubs

[terse jackal]

Not a bad idea, let me bring it up to the team

[dull kiln]

Takes either maxed g3 epic or Voyager and crewing

[silver parcel]

maxed g3 epics are still gonna hurt, but saw some 18-20m voyagers doing well in the 43-45 range.

[dull kiln]

If possible, consider it for all token space! That way we aren't burning tokens on systems that won't be useful. Thanks

[wind lichen]

my g3's are maxed...and my voyager is still tire 3.

[dull kiln]

I managed the 41s with a tier 5 Voyager Romulan suggested crew with Paris below decks

[silver parcel]

Was in the 41 zone all day since the event started, killing on and off in between commercials on amazon prime. Got to see all types of ops and crews and ships going at it.

Came to the realization, some people must employ a board with post it notes and crew names, when they send their ships out. They just toss darts.

Because boooooy. some of these people were special.

[jolly raft]

Agreed. Not seeing it happen for me in this arc. At level 40, I'm no longer going to waste my time and resources trying.

[dusky cove]

I'm really wondering if STFC has entered the sunset phase of the game with the xindi arcs seemingly aimed at forcing people to get max strength ships without any regard for how realistic it is and seemingly no care for player feedback or the amount of people who're quitting due to 3 grinds in 3 months

[haughty willow]

The silent systems are really bad designed. A few systems are swarmed by all players. People punching down for points … and I am stuck now in a system with 51&53 with one tiny issue … not a single 51

[misty kernel]

Hi, my nome os cap Jesse kyrk, my federativo os xdca.

Meu nome e capitã Jesse kyrk sou da federação XDCA e amo esse jogo

[abstract glade]

It's the arc which is bad designed not only the new grind loop

[wind lichen]

exactly and if i just leveled to 38 (which i did) but all my g3 are maxed.. and still can only do 50% damage and with the suggested crews too.. minus i dont have tucker just yet.

[dry valve]

Eco’s tracking more than the Ford Carrier Group, carry on 😆

[dusky cove]

The problem is the xindi arc is designed around "surely everyone has a boatload of primes, bought all the officer tiers, bought the favours, paid to upgrade/max buildings,....? If not well then they're out of luck or can spend hours chisseling away in hopes of doing a refine"

[radiant helm]

@terse jackal why do ops 55 need to hit same level hostiles as 56-59? We don't have the g5 rare ships so have no chance of engaging with the loop.

[dry valve]

I just did two days worth with a Corvus , got to be a bit sneaky and patient

[vagrant vapor]

there are packs for those problems

[spiral coral]

Same problem at 52 only G4 ships available yet the 51s need to be farmed with a strong g5

[reef lagoon]

@terse jackal Is scoply planning on making the grind easier? I am a level 52 and i can't participate in the events or this new grind.

[dusky cove]

We have given the reds sufficient testing and the results are clear, just like the januari xindi's these are overtuned and disregard the actual player strength

[silver parcel]

I don't expect them to make it easier, but they may make the previous tiers of loot relevant. Would be the easiest and make the most sense as a change.
