[mortal elk]

so little of it in loot compared to A

[wet anchor]

While run on A is twice the event.

[weary plank]

That event was easily manageable if you've done the right research

[humble orbit]

Research here is junk, I went in with cerri buff though expecting harder.

[mortal elk]

They played up the need for barrier research a chunk... can't say I've needed it 😐

[dusky cove]

I have a t9 korinar, still needed 3 runs to finish the sms which is way too long and I did up the loot research t t3 or so already with a full loot crew

[mortal elk]

how many kills per run?

and where?

[humble orbit]

Apex barrier won't change anything on the pve side, there's simply not enough this month.

[silver parcel]

yeah, they made it sound like the common systems it would help and it was a requirement for the uncommon and higher systems

[dusky cove]

Hmm...70-90 a run I think in Hann (45 system). I might give killing the 50's as opposed to the 45 another shot but mast time they blew me out of the water

[silver parcel]

i found iso defense much more useful

[mortal elk]

cephalcosque is coming into its own, for sure

[fierce fossil]

think this was lvl 8 barier on a sanctus

[mortal elk]

if thats how its spelled

Gorn-hat

[fierce fossil]

wouldn`t call it a game changer ><

[silver parcel]

yeah it's coming along nice

[mortal elk]

just wish I didn't need to go grind the loot again already 🤣

[wet anchor]

Yeah I think the gaps between hostiles are set a bit large. With a g4 rare it’s probably a bit of a struggle. So 51-52 is a nightmare zone probably.

[dusky cove]

Yup, does feel like like a middle ground is missing. I also did a trell d run on 48's s but so little drops it didn't score much

[wet anchor]

For me the D hostiles are way too far apart, I can’t grind more than a dozen or so of the 58s, and the 50s I run out of time well before hull.

[candid quarry]

That sounds like a ‘you’ problem 😏

[timber valve]

I can tell you 52 is a horrible spot for grinding the mirror hostiles. The 45s are fine, but the 50s eat my hull fast.

[humble orbit]

Did you build a 50e?

[mortal elk]

https://tenor.com/view/sad-cat-sunakook-tired-exhausted-gif-24687868

[timber valve]

In what fictional world do you think a normal player has the massive amount of faction currency to build one of those?

[wet anchor]

I have two 🤪

[mortal elk]

So do I, but only because I wanted Sam Kirk unlocked 🤣

[wet anchor]

I built both at 50 so actually used them for a bit 😁

[mortal elk]

and now I'm twice as far from DD than I was before 🤣

[lethal coral]

Here I thought only the whales built those 👀 I was gonna let the 46r carry me to 53 😅

[humble orbit]

I built my 50e back before G5 armada chests were a thing. The opportunity cost was delaying novas. These days the credit income is so good in G5, the impact of picking one up should be much more reasonable.

[wet anchor]

Yeah, I built my trib and two months later had enough between credits and bp drops from the g5 chests to build the Corvus, and enough again this month that I splurged on a cloak for the Corvus for the MU 😁

[mental gull]

I have all my vorcha bps but I'm buying a tribune anyway

[wet anchor]

But honestly you don’t need the epic still. It took only just over a month to go from 50 to 53, so the pain period without having an epic is very short. Couple of months if you can live with slowing down one or two loops you can still skip over them.

[mental gull]

I Run impulse crew and just kill as many 48s as I can

Loot boxes worth more then hostile loot atm. I can kill 50s but killing 120 48s nets me more loot

[wet anchor]

I’m getting about 8k or so total between chests and cargo on the 50s.

[mental gull]

Ya i get a LOT of credits between faction message talios refinery, ex borg chests

[warm pivot]

and now MU surveys

[mental gull]

They drop faction rep not credits

[wet anchor]

Haven’t tried those yet. Maybe once the events settle down.

[warm pivot]

no it is credits

[wet anchor]

The chests give a lot of faction credits apparently

[mental gull]

Oh

Whaaaaat

[dusky cove]

1 month for 50 to 53 with sy 53 is very optimistic without spending

[warm pivot]

33 chests, i`m low 40 and had bad crew. 40-45 credits per chest, inside random

others can do the 100 as well
and those are just the lvl 40 surveys... higher level more loot

[mental gull]

I mean I guess that's neat

[wet anchor]

Not really. 50 to 52 doesn’t need anything but resources, and that isn’t a problem with the pickle.

[mental gull]

Unless they drop a chest every time like the wqrships

[warm pivot]

they do

[mental gull]

And credits every time?

[warm pivot]

do your voyager loop and get your faction messages, get your black talios and claim your faction credits and now feed your refinery in MU and the rest goes in faction credits

[mental gull]

I do everything

And inhave all the new skjns

Enigma clandestine

[warm pivot]

thwn try to diversify your shipsources. like go for ktinga, pilum and then ent a

and not valdore pilum tribune

[mental gull]

I have ktinga pilum kelvin valdore

T10 t11 t8 t11

[dusky cove]

52 to 53 is a boatload of commons though

[mental gull]

I'm building a tribune for funsies

Have 150 nova bps, 150 vorcha bps, 700k romulan credits

[humble orbit]

If you're skipping 50e, what are you using all your credits on? 53u is dirt cheap, and 56r is months away after that. A nova fleet seems like a waste.

[wet anchor]

That’s why it takes a bit over a month. If you saved up lat, could go even faster.

[warm pivot]

i somehow wish there`d be a way to get more trait officer xp
and i mean another way to get em, not bajoran... thats not enough ^^

[wet anchor]

Max pull Bajoran uncommon chest

Heh. It gets pretty reasonable.

Think I’m up to 7 maxed officers now.

[warm pivot]

depends... i know the top levels get expensive...

[mental gull]

Like 129k for last level isn't it lol

[wet anchor]

Yeah 107k or so for the last level

[warm pivot]

my neros needs kill me xD

[mental gull]

I have 2 with last skill at lvl 6 lol

[wet anchor]

But each max pull gives me 12k now so it’s not so bad

[mental gull]

Oh nice

I'm ops 50 400k to max rep still

[warm pivot]

an efficiency research or maybe a fleet commander with a perma node for that would be nice

[wet anchor]

Yeah

[mental gull]

Ergree

[wet anchor]

I didn’t max anyone before late 40s

[mental gull]

Trait skill?

Or tier

[wet anchor]

Yeah most I got anyone to was level 8 on the last trait

[mental gull]

Jesus

[wet anchor]

Tier I had tons of maxed epics

[mental gull]

Ive only been playing a year:/

[warm pivot]

tbh, i do not own a single max tier/level epic officer by now... and they got all the shards, but i simply don`t need em atm

[wet anchor]

I’ve been playing since they added ATA’s 😆

[mental gull]

Nice

I have max chapel max blt tho

[wet anchor]

You could save your officers max tier for g5. The officer xp daily slb is actually nice rewards then and making an epic should get you top 3 probably.

[humble orbit]

Nice pickups.

Get a hugh, and your G4+ lower deck team is set.

[warm pivot]

the only one i consider maxing is grush, for when i build my rare g4 ship and got no below deck slots

[sour sage]

Anyone complete the into the mirror mission found in the mirror universe? I’m stuck on the first step of processing 15,000 raw trillium A. I think I’ve processed it, but nothing happens.

[wet anchor]

You need to donate it

[sour sage]

lol… duh. Thanks!

[mental gull]

I save xp for borg officers.during borg event so.i can get locutus

[humble orbit]

Never have space for ghrush here, and officer stats have bloated enough that you don't need him.

[mental gull]

And I'm 5k.incursion 2.coins from having enough to get 7

[wet anchor]

That’s true I’ve stopped using him below decks now

[warm pivot]

still focusing on more impactful researches and artifacts tbh

[mental gull]

All my research up.to 50 is.done

Completely out-_-

[wet anchor]

Wow

[warm pivot]

https://tenor.com/view/camping-hiking-hike-good-time-heart-gif-20210641
someone like camping ^^

[wet anchor]

I got tons still to do. It was always way too expensive when in g4.

[mental gull]

You have to collect 15k trellium a once u do that either goto the mission log and donate nit or go back to the mission planet. U. Just need 15k RAW TRELLIUM A

Paris t4

[hidden python]

Issues on European servers? I cannot summon 8472 hostiles in Rearys, I get the exception 200 error box instead

[dull mason]

Try another system,, ??

[hidden python]

The lvl 55 system K'tje works but I'd rather summon in the lvl 58 system for muhc better efficiency

[humble orbit]

Ghrush to the 59?

@queen jolt Comp for no war room as scheduled!

[queen jolt]

https://tenor.com/view/star-trek-spock-eyes-thick-eyes-lightning-gif-15018572

[lethal coral]

Wouldn't it start today ? Or did they start them Mondays? I honestly can't remember , usually just hop on and it's done anyways xD

[warm pivot]

but wave defense will start, right?ß

[hidden python]

Will try but not sure how my Voyager will be against them

[gilded widget]

I hate you

[silver parcel]

i built an ent a for funsies

ran out of rare parts

will probably scrap it eventually

[minor furnace]

At that angle, it looks amazing... Just don't see the side view.

[silver parcel]

It is odd how some models lack detail and res while others don't

[lethal coral]

My d4 has a bit too much details 😆

[livid shell]

Looks like a new ship design for next battlepass from scopely !!

[astral folio]

The IKS Burnt Chicken Corpse.

[twilit mirage]

Have they said anything about why the exos can't be used?

For the new mirror mats

[warm pivot]

you don`t want an unlucky spender loose a slb to a lucky f2p

[twilit mirage]

I haven't even gotten any of the new exos yet to try I just have some alliance members trying to use them and can't even find them on their exo list.

[proven bolt]

Apparently it’s just a really bad drop rate. But a player showed their inventory had them yesterday. I’ve only heard of that one player since mirror released. Like, a really bad drop rate

[mystic flicker]

This arc and milestones are 💩

[solar trellis]

Every time I accidentally look at the Ent A's lens flare effect:

[solid kayak]

they broke another thing im being told. why is it that communication drops off the map whenever the devs break something?

[solar trellis]

After 6 years of it happening nearly every month, they figure "why bother?" 🤷‍♂️

[silver parcel]

what's broken?

[solid kayak]

that thing over there

[night frigate]

Mirror Universe warping is still kicking players to base

Even after the 'hotfix'

[proven bolt]

Maybe they’re referring to war room not running 🤷‍♂️. But my thoughts are they don’t wanna payout free war room stuff when there’s already PvP today. My guess is they sold a lot of mirror PvP packs

I am not a lawyer

[solid kayak]

or they didnt like small alliances finished and wanted even higher top point values then last time

[void stratus]

Anyone else not complete “Trailing Trellium”?

[queen jolt]

Let me try my luckkk

nvm

[buoyant scarab]

That 5% chance must be a blatant lie.

[stray umbra]

I will say the added entry tokens into mirror was appreciated after day 2 I was frustrated, but now things are settling in even with pvp in mirror

[queen jolt]

Then a wild rogue appeared to clear the MU

[dull mason]

The Arc is Very Disappointing,
No good content for -39 player's

[dry valve]

Now where did that Exo go?

[warm pivot]

https://tenor.com/view/سحر-magic-abra-kadabra-vanished-gif-17338827

[solid kayak]

they haven't released directed content to below ops 40 in awhile safe to say thats not going to change either.

[late pawn]

Scopely is obviously pushing people to go to 40+, as so many sit below that. But there's nothing to be scared of, just level up Ops. It's more fun anyways.

[queen jolt]

https://tenor.com/view/bit-steve-austin-stone-cold-come-here-evil-smile-gif-16992296

Would be fun to watch if a CC makes a crazy race to ops something

[sturdy umbra]

Took me 2 runs @ 54

[sturdy umbra]

There is plenty to fear. 50-70 is the slb bracket they have yet, or possibly never intend to, fix.

[late pawn]

50 to 51 is different than 39 to 40. They will fix it eventually, just like they 'eventually' fixed going from 39 to 40.

[sturdy umbra]

No, 50-52 are uniquely trash

[sharp owl]

Revenue that low, huh?

[sturdy umbra]

No ship. Just push through the pain to 53 uc.

[queen jolt]

https://tenor.com/view/seriously-no-comment-shades-down-stare-huh-gif-16220777

[sturdy umbra]

Honestly, as much as the slb grouping is terrible, it has done wonders for reducing my weekend playtime. So for that I am thankful

Zero stress to complete a event you can't compete in

[night frigate]

Hello. I sent you a PM yesterday

Or the day before

[late pawn]

Grouping in general is terrible. PVP, SLB, anything that requires effort to figure out who should / shouldn't be competing against each other.

[queen jolt]

https://tenor.com/view/flood-house-funny-memes-funny-gif-27029501

checking now buddy tepid

[sturdy umbra]

It should be simply grouped by ship availability. Anything else is asinine really

[vast cobalt]

Why is the war room postpon3d again

[late pawn]

I think I can agree to that mostly. Same with Resource availability. It doesn't make sense for 5* to compete against 6* on resource spend. Whoever came up with that is just {not caring enough about players}.

Honestly, things would go much better if Scopely got rid of the weekly meeting on "How to monetize" and just built a game that organically made money because people enjoy it. But many many businesses fail at that idea. Especially in gaming.

"Mythic Quest" is Scopely, if you haven't watched it.

[vast cobalt]

Agreed I spend on thinks I want or like not on things they try to make me get just to play the game

And scopley now selling almost everything in the game is makeing even big spends stop playing cause it's almost like scopley is makeing them spend

[late pawn]

They figured out anything useful SOMEONE will buy, so why not sell it? ... And they forgot all of these should have 3-6 month (max) F2P paths. People SHOULD just be paying for early access to things, with (almost) everything coming f2p after.

Many more items today are "PAY ONLY" with no F2P path than previously.

[frigid owl]

The paid and free path should be released at the same time.
And it should be buy it now, or farm it in a few weeks....
Not pay now, wait 3 months for us to decide how to make it free and then spend 4 months farm it.

[late pawn]

Probably because Monopoly GO makes them Billions, and now STFC is just a small fish trying to make sure Saudi Arabia gets their money's worth.

[late pawn]

Yeah, overall at least they have F2P paths (like the complete garbage ship the Eviscerator.) There are so many Primes that are nearly essential that have been out for a long time that have no path whatsoever.

[vast cobalt]

Yea the point of spending is for faster path to it f2p should get everything a spender gets within 6 months probly 3 mounts but 6 mouths max

[void stratus]

I saw the prices on Monopoly. They literally are crazy. But worse are the people buy 60 dice for $60

[frigid owl]

The best (and only) way that they should be releasing things like new ship is the way they did the Talios or the original Vidar.

[late pawn]

They're literally making billions on that game. It's the number 1 revenue generator. A little crazy that people spend that much on Monopoly, which is ironic.

[frigid owl]

I'd say within 3 months max. Cuz by the time ur at the 6 month mark that content is then abandoned by scopely and they've moved onto the next new shiny thing.

[void stratus]

Monopoly Whales need a meeting with a therapist.

[silver parcel]

I think the way they did the cube is a good way to handle new ships, partial bps on free track, full set on elite track.

with the event store to finish the free track

[late pawn]

I think that's a bigger problem. Pump and dump content. They release an arc and then forget it exists.

[frigid owl]

As long as they put the rest of the ship in the event store at the end of that arc, so people aren't waiting 6 months for it to be put into the event store.

[silver parcel]

that's what they did, got 30 free, and 70 in the event store that came out at the end of the arc

[late pawn]

yeah, I liked that you could get the cube for $19.99... with all of the other things that came with it. Was semi-decent roi

[silver parcel]

Don't think we'll be seeing that anymore

[vast cobalt]

Scopley forgets about there arcs the day they come put cause there working on the next arc trying to figure out what they can sell to make more money

[late pawn]

$99.99 for any ship .... Not ever happening for me. I'm not paying AAA Game Prices in one go for some ship that probably sucks.

[silver parcel]

I mean we're not even unlocking rares anymore

[vast cobalt]

Take picard he could be good if u unlock him but if u don't have Derek or a maxed data for 100 assimilate he is trash

[late pawn]

But I will pay $19.99 for a BP. Still a little high in my opinion for mobile gaming, but meh..

[frigid owl]

I'd rather spend that on a F2P game that isn't forcing paid content on players.

[vast cobalt]

Yea I'm almost done with my spending I have a goal I set and when that goal happens spends will almost stop till they make it better

[late pawn]

The most interesting thing is thinking that anyone at Scopely cares about what we've said about the F2P not being F2P at all. 🙂

[vast cobalt]

They don't even give a almost free rare anymore even if u buy the bp u might get what 18 bp of the rare officer for the month

[flint ruin]

I’m not understanding the mirror event rewards…the docking one rewards 5* rare mats…today’s does not give any rare 5* mats…?

[late pawn]

Yeah, I still think Ent-E Troi effectively coming with the BP was an accident. They have a history of not being able to do math at scopely.

[flint ruin]

I think I missed the class where players delivered the communication that would be a good thing.

[proven bolt]

Was there a PvP event scheduled for today? I don’t see anything

[vast cobalt]

The war room is cancealed agai. For some reason

[crisp kernel]

When will the Kir’Shara be available for purchase finally?

[silver parcel]

Probably when it's fixed

https://tenor.com/view/shirley-temple-giggle-laugh-gif-5118563

[proven bolt]

Ok, I thought there was a mirror PvP event or something. Thanks

[vast cobalt]

Why spend on it it's a stupid artifact

[crisp kernel]

Queuing up hostiles will be an amazing improvement to my gameplay

[vast cobalt]

Unless your on a dead server that artifact is absolutely trash

[late pawn]

It's a great artifact for Wave Defense, if it worked.

[livid shell]

Loading screen ….

[solar trellis]

Hey, Scopley... You forgot the "(Heroic)" part of this event. 600 disruptors per day does not make this event doable unless you have the Prime, and even then, you have to know this event was happening prior to arc start, and save for at least two weeks to finish.

[livid shell]

Some say this artifact is a Miniature bot in game 🤷‍♂️

[sturdy umbra]

I like this new effect

[timber valve]

I swear, these mirror events are a pure cash grab

[sturdy umbra]

I know players that spent the cash and are super disappointed

Apparently they made a research path that nearly requires the associated officers to function as intended

[solar trellis]

There's a few good things...but like every other arc, there's 5 bad things for every 1 good thing that they do.

[livid shell]

Preparing …

[sturdy umbra]

70%!

[livid shell]

Scopely preparing something for dinner 🤔

[fast grove]

Bad form on this artifact sms scopley

[late pawn]

It's hard to complete, but to be fair it was listed in the Event calendar.

just that you'd have needed to save for months to actually complete. But that's typical scopely.

[timber valve]

I can't even do that loop again until I reach ops 53, so ignoring it

[fast grove]

It had other artifact scoring metrics lest month

[late pawn]

Encourage everyone to save everything always because one day you'll want it for an event. Therefore never getting better or progressing.

[frank pike]

@heady moon honest feedback: making every event a dollar spend to finish event is a great way to keep driving away people from playing and to make sure those who do play continue to absolutely warn anyone they know off from picking up the game.
These absurd milestones for the “premium” mirror dust events are killing enjoyment. 100+ person alliance, never seen alliance chat deader than this arc.

[late pawn]

War Room is cancelled, the only person who knows how to change the configuration to turn on the War Room is on Vacation.

(to be honest, it's probably that someone is close to advancing their war room to a decent level, so they need to slow it down, again.)

[frank pike]

lol, without packs it’ll take me years to get war room to where the material or rss payouts is worth even paying attention to it.

[late pawn]

yeah, it's pretty garbage.

[frank pike]

I get more mats and rss daily from obsolete loops

[late pawn]

Like the Eviscerator... War Room... NX-01.... Any Specialty Ship that has one purpose...

[indigo tangle]

Why is the SMS/SLB for the Artifacts only temporal and not counting regular?

[timber valve]

I mean, I finally got the command center to level 45 last week and my holodeck is at 8.

[frank pike]

Nx-01, the gimmick ship that works on only 1/4 of the content released around it. Garbage vs normal xindi, garbage vs xindi armadas, garbage vs silent hostiles.

[livid shell]

29 artifacts and I’m still at t2

[timber valve]

The NX-01 is actually pretty nice, just not when it's T1

[hasty hemlock]

i dont hate the nx01 loop (aside from go home gun). its a very quick loop

[late pawn]

My holodeck is also 8. Command Center 44.. Ops Center 45. Almost able to get to 45 command though.

[frank pike]

Basically been that way since they introduced temporal stuff.

[indigo tangle]

No, there was combined events

[frank pike]

For 1/10th the scoring on normal artifacts, woohoo

[late pawn]

My problem is just that I hate "Specialty" ships. They make PVP even more of a problem. When they do Open PVP events and you have to be in a Stella for instance, you're guaranteed to die to just about anything.

[timber valve]

Today I learned how bad silent hostiles were designed for the ops 51-52 people.

[solid kayak]

activating...

[obsidian stag]

I'm also finding they've made it impossible, how do they expect us to do this?

[white saffron]

This is the worst arc ever, most sms need cc and are way over scaled

[late pawn]

Is there even a Pack to buy Temporal Disruptors? Or were people supposed to just be saving them infinitely until an event just happened to come along?

[solemn plaza]

So they canceled the event they put on the calendar. And started an event that wasn't on the calendar....

[indigo tangle]

on the SMS any points would be helpful.

[solar trellis]

There's not even a disruptor pack in the store for whales to finish it. I'm laughing at how hard this event has failed. 🤣

[indigo tangle]

The SMS should be heroic, because it's sure as heck not doable f2p given the refinery limits.

[late pawn]

It's not even doable Heroic.. because there's no Pay Path.

[obsidian stag]

I was able to save a few for this event but still not enough for the 1st milestone

[indigo tangle]

[late pawn]

@queen jolt how did the Temporal Disruptor event get approved?

[timber valve]

https://tenor.com/view/paperwork-banbert-gif-21066695

[obsidian stag]

no-one in my bracket was even able to get past the 2nd milestone of the spend SMS on my server

[solar trellis]

I can finish the first milestone before it ends. Finishing the event would be like a snail trying to climb from Mariana Trench to top of Mt Everest before our sun dies.

[dusky cove]

That's hardly surprising...not my screenshot but it does showcase the problem

[late pawn]

Why do community managers go silent just when event turnover happens? Seems like a daily thing.

[magic gyro]

28 DAYS OF DOUBLE PULLS...

[obsidian stag]

that's the most I'm going to be able to do as well

[dusky cove]

this arc is the worst (yet) this year and I didn't think I'd say that after the disastrous previous arcs this year

[magic gyro]

thankfully i have 16k temp disruptors so events done

[obsidian stag]

I'm OPS 42 which isn't too far off that

[magic gyro]

just kidding...lol

[late pawn]

Not sure how they learn nothing from the PVP arc, only to jump into "We need to make up revenue from that disastrous arc by making Paid arcs that nobody will like, and will drive revenue down further!"

[magic gyro]

[north torrent]

These mirror events, which are always the same, are slowly starting to bore even the very last player...

[crude phoenix]

and still farm battleships in the 40 system with it for the special loot

[solemn plaza]

I'm mean if they make the game bad enough and drive away enough players then they can pull the plug on it.....
Wait a few months and then... STFC 2

[solar trellis]

They decided to try to plug the hull breaches with more bullets.

[dusky cove]

The june arc seems to be "What were the most hated aspects of this years arc? Let's combine all those things in the june arc, players will LOVE it"

[crude phoenix]

well only a few weeks till we see if they can match one of the worst arcs ever with part II

[dusky cove]

How much do you want to bet they'll sell us solutions" to the problems they caused? It's their whole design premise after all

[crude phoenix]

im guessing aphex piercing primes

and prob some ship for mirror universe that has one gimmick and is hardly needed 0_0 with no f2p sourcing till they get some pack sales again

[sharp owl]

That's not a bet. That's a 100% fact 😉

[solemn plaza]

Whoa 2 ships.
1 for hostiles
1 for mining.

[dense iris]

Tone down the SMS events Scopley, they are about to get absurd. I "preloaded" syndicate xp from the BP and did the daily events 3x in the 48 hours, i did not even get close to the first milestone. At least the first usually wasn't a big problem, until now. And now you throw in another non-heroic with absurd requirements (temporal disruptor)?

[crude phoenix]

ah yeah with a super duber mining speed.. at t12

[solar trellis]

Even Prime Temporal Disruptors pack won't help with this event, and no disruptor pack in the store. It's not doable unless you have been saving TD since beginning of last arc.

[crude phoenix]

strange oversight.. if theres no packs to sell alongside it

[solemn plaza]

It'll be G4-G6 so mining boost is at T18

[late pawn]

I'm sure the problem is just that Scopely can't count

[silver parcel]

this is without the prime, and daily stock since the last time they ran a temporal event

[late pawn]

They thought you could finish the event with 10 temporal d

[silver parcel]

Previous runs you could finish the sms with like 3-4k

[proven bolt]

Yeah, they used to let you score by restoring artifacts. But the sms does not at all. And the slb used to let you get some points by spending non-temporal artifacts. This new slb does not. They took the strategies that worked and said nah. And they call it a strategy game

[solar trellis]

Well, that's 50% of the sms. Lol

[silver parcel]

at least i can finish one tier of the sms

unlike the syndicate event

[obsidian stag]

most people won't have that kind of stockpile as we need the artifacts

[late pawn]

They're going to lower scoring, but then anyone who already turned in their TD will be screwed.

Like they did with the MU event the other day.

[silver parcel]

doubt they'll lower the scoring

given it's the new "quantum' difficulty metric

[timber valve]

They didn't yesterday. They're asleep at the wheel this week.

[solar trellis]

And @silver parcel kinda also unintentionally points out this event is not doable unless you skipped the last event. And if you start the vicious cycle of skipping events because the next one requires skipping one to finish, why bother even playing at that point?

[obsidian stag]

I've already turned in all I had

[late pawn]

finished the MU event yesterday in 1 run. I think it was messed up for some ops levels.

[proven bolt]

Best option is to just take a break

[misty pelican]

Are they gone crazy with sms milestones? The artifact millstones are crazy high.

[late pawn]

@queen jolt @heady moon where'd you guys go?

[silver parcel]

they'll probably add a pack to the store tomorrow\

[hallow moss]

AGAIN 🤦

[silver parcel]

to spur those last minute slb jumpers

[dusky cove]

perhaps a time travel ship that can ignore the time limits?

[urban needle]

https://tenor.com/view/it-wasnt-an-accident-wednesday-addams-jenna-ortega-wednesday-it-was-planned-gif-27427018

[dusky cove]

good news though, it's being run again next week

[solar trellis]

It seems to be a daily event. I'd let that one go, since tbh, you'll wish you were swimming in common tokens once MU arcs end and can't get anymore outside of refinery.

[gilded sand]

I've been pulling everything daily since last time and I have 2.9k at ops 42. Tho I am not double pulling the silent loop, as I can't farm enough

[late pawn]

The Next event they will do will be to spend Fleet Commander stuff, since Rev has been pushing everyone to spend it. I'm CERTAIN an event is coming.

[solar trellis]

I have no rage left after seeing this one. 😂

[crude phoenix]

ship in part II will prob have a refinery for it.. or maybe u know a prime for it ;x

[tiny tendon]

The mirror dust event is pretty lousy too. SMS for a resource we have limited sourcing on, and limited ways to spend.

[late pawn]

Paid ship with only a 12 month F2P path!

[frank pike]

It’s basically, did you buy the prime and not spend a single temporal disruptor since the event schedule came out. If one of those don’t apply, you can’t finish it.

Make sure to ping a cm and let them know your actual feedback

[dusky cove]

event then you can't as it's being run again next week

[late pawn]

was able to complete that dust event at least. Spent 1440 or whatever on 0.0000005% to shields

[frank pike]

They apparently want these premium dust nodes to be researches on the par with prime nodes the way they are telling you to either be a whale or don’t try

[solemn plaza]

Did you save dust though to try and score in the surprise unscheduled SLB.

[late pawn]

I think you needed to not spend since Silent Arc came out, not just event schedule.

[late pawn]

I saved dust, as soon as I saw it on the schedule.

[solemn plaza]

The SLB wasn't on the schedule.

[late pawn]

There was a dust spend event on the schedule. Which is why I saved it.

[dull mason]

Player's don't like rince and repeat Event's 👎🏼

[solemn plaza]

Yeah the sms was on the schedule. But the slb is a surprise event.

[pine phoenix]

FOMO arc

[late pawn]

yeah, rerunning the SLB wasn't scheduled. But meh... I saved for it because of the SMS

[late pawn]

Scopely can't actually count, I don't suspect they can tell what Day it is either.

[north cave]

ridiculous spending arc

[pine phoenix]

Today is Sunday
Its always Sunday in scopley HQ

[tiny tendon]

Had to trade down all my uncommon and rare to pull off that little stunt.

[late pawn]

To be fair, you can't even spend to win the Temporal Distrupt event! So we're all in the same boat!

[solemn plaza]

Maybe the pack will come out at the other reset time. Cuz the time change is confusing for scopely.

[dull mason]

Why o'why Slow down the load up screen just before reset ?

[dusky cove]

Ah this point honestly...why even bother giving feedback..... This arc is a showcase of ignored feedback with all the negative feedback seemingly only being focused to craft the most controversial aspects of the past 5 months into the june arc. Further feedback will only be ignored or monetized

[late pawn]

"Oh, ship attack queueing would be a nice thing to have?! We can make a (broken) paid feature for that!"

[timber valve]

I get why they designed this new loop the way they did, and it's fine, but as always, the scaling at some ops levels isn't where it should be because of assumptions that aren't true for a lot of the player base.

The SMS goals though are badly set

[warm pivot]

<@&509690795536941056> let me clarify, while the extended eventtext clearly states you can get points by completing and upgrading artifact, the infobox only mentions temporal disruptors, and the infobox is right. i completed jaheela and didn`T recieve any points.

just smack the eventdesigners on the head for me please.
You dont even sell packs for disruptors alone... -.- nobody ruined this arc as much as the eventdesigners!

awaiting compensation - feeling insulted!
you guys really treat your customers as if they are stupid.

[dusky cove]

I disagree, they could have implemented the MU so much better yet it was clearly designed in such a way to be as user unfriendly as possible and to be such a massive timesink people just pay to skip it. It disrespect our real life time to such a degree it's either by design or somebody who really has no business being an arc designer.

[late pawn]

Scopely literally just can't math. How many times have we had Battle Pass where they had to compensate points because the SIMPLE aspect of getting a total count together fails? I mean, theoretically they have people on the team with CS Degrees, who should at least know BASIC math....

[timber valve]

Yes, it's a horrible time sink, but the research tied to it is pretty nice.

[late pawn]

The funny thing is that they vocalize it as "We did this to try and keep people in the game less!" and then make it so you have to spend 15 minutes of DEDICATED time in the game.

So many things they could do to make it easy. Add an "Exit" gate to every system and you can come back at anytime, the timer stops, but doesn't disappear. So you can go do something else if real-life comes up, but can't just sit in the MU. Something like that.

[dull mason]

We want serious Event's, with serious Rewards
Not wishy-washy Event's

[timber valve]

That's where they're failing miserably. They now add a grind a month and player are overwhelmed. You literally end up dropping a grind, because the next one's rewards are so much better or you just don't have the time for them all.

[civic geyser]

Is there an artifact event ?

[hot dove]

https://tenor.com/view/taehyung-bts-taehyung-hide-behind-post-taehyung-meme-gif-gimbapkugif-gif-6854350700148902522

Both CMs when events reset…

[pure yew]

last year they made 602 million from you guys

[dusky cove]

yeah, you just need 27 days of refines ready if you can douple pull or 47 as you'll need to do it again next week

[pine phoenix]

You all so negative
You all forgot oficer filter 😂

[timber valve]

I can gladly say, I farmed the NX-01 on the free path.

[civic geyser]

Guess not for my lvl then 😢

[dull mason]

, for that to happen,
We need A 👉🏼 Formation Armada Event..😡😡

[silver parcel]

nooooooooooo

never want to see another formada event

[pure yew]

since savy bought them gotta try and double that this year

🤣

quality over quantity was a false flag

[magic gyro]

https://tenor.com/view/airplane-goodluck-counting-on-you-gif-3550114

to the cms

[dusky cove]

and massively game lag, surprising no one but scopely as there's a new wave pass

[timber valve]

Remember Bek said quality meant more quantity each release 🤣

My mind is still blown by that one, lol

[pine phoenix]

And fun part
Scopley will not fix the mu portal kick home bug
Same as they not fixed wave kicking bug

[pure yew]

im sure theyve made about 300 million this year so far since every arc has been basically you pay to participate

[hot dove]

Said it with a straight face too apparently!

[pure yew]

but playerbase is going down fast never seen my server so dead

[magic gyro]

She wasnt talking about the game.....🤣

[civic geyser]

Once again being under 40 by the looks gets the ……… can’t put what I really feel as would get banned 😬

[pine phoenix]

Being beginning of 50 isn't fun either

[timber valve]

51-52 is the absolute worst range to be in

[late pawn]

I don't mind having to pick and choose loops. I think many people's mistake is trying to do all of them. And while that made sense when there was barely any content in the game.. It doesn't make sense now, and will create a variety of different players / play styles. Which I DO like. I think they're getting a lot of things wrong, and ignoring older / semi-older content is one of them. But I think that's easily fixed by making some of the rewards more worthwhile.

[pure yew]

50-59

[timber valve]

Nah, once I get to 53 at least the goals/expections will match the ship strength

[pure yew]

it doesnt really

you cant do xindi based on your level unless you bought stuff cant win slbs get new officers/ only whales get rewards

[pine phoenix]

They will expecte you reach ops53 and got straight a maxed g5 uc ship

[pure yew]

sms’s are insanely extreme too

syndicate is pay its all bad lol

[timber valve]

Xindi isn't that bad once you have the crit floor maxed. That crit penalty is no joke. I'm at tier 4 of 5 on that and forgot that I shouldn't Cerritos boost on one run and got my hull eaten away.

[twilit ingot]

Wouldn't be surprised if someone just woke up one day and decided to make a similar game but with better features, and much less paywalls.

Just a matter of time I guess.

[silver parcel]

xindi is great once you got the warp range and kill the 51 surveys

[timber valve]

Star Trek Online is fun. And thanks for the reminder

[pine phoenix]

How they make money in 2018 ?
There where 99% less pay to play events
Its a miracle scopley not go broke

[timber valve]

Must be Summer Event ship time

[late pawn]

Won't work unless they can tie it to Star Trek. There's already similar games. I don't play them because this is Star Trek, those aren't.

[pure yew]

pseudo star trek lol

[dusky cove]

it's because people keep forgetting scopely isn't in the business to make a game but to make a profit

[twilit ingot]

Even if the theme is similar? Garner enough attention and you can easily get ST attention.

[late pawn]

There are other mobile games that ARE Star Trek as well, but they kinda suck.

[timber valve]

I mean, the Star Trek TNG and the Kelvinverse pinball tables are quite good.

[pure yew]

this game isnt really star trek its far from the premise just has the usage title license

[late pawn]

It's Ironic Trek.. because Trek is all about 'not capitalism' and this game is 100% Capitalism lol

[timber valve]

At least in STO I get to actually fly a ship that isn't a triangle on the screen and fire my phasers

[late pawn]

I can't stand the Ship combat / flying in STO. Maybe I'm missing something but my ship is sloooooow at everything.

[timber valve]

My Risan Corvette is way too fast, lol

[late pawn]

I just have the "enterprise d" ship... I haven't played enough to get further than that

[timber valve]

I love my T6 Nebula

[sturdy umbra]

If only I had saved 106 days of temporal disruptors i could have completed the event.

[timber valve]

🤣

[sturdy umbra]

Beautiful

[magic gyro]

28 days of double pulls stop being dramatic...LOL..IM BEING SARCASTIC...LOL

[pure yew]

how dare you make a logical decision and not spend like an addict

[sturdy umbra]

Oh true. The silent hostile loop was SUPER accessible between ops 50-52

[dusky cove]

26,6666 so 54 for the 2 runs so let's say 46 to be fair as it's next week and runs 2 days

[sturdy umbra]

That's fair. It could be double pulled once I hit 53 and had a g5 uc ship capable of killing the hostiles within the 50+ refinery.

Between 50-52, I feel for those players deeply.

[night frigate]

Use max titan buff + Cerritos... Maybe your only good chance right now for a decent run

Even Ops53 players struggle with their Silent runs and 53 ship

[late pawn]

It's a little weird that nearly nothing else is, but Silents are Ops based.

[sturdy umbra]

I did fine once I was about 120m~ and kept to the 51s

Before that it's an absolute struggle bus

[pine phoenix]

That what I do too
Exo burrito titan
Then the 53 silent are possible to grind

[sturdy umbra]

Their loot compared to damage output vs the 51s isn't efficient unless you're strictly time efficiency

[void wadi]

Glad I’m not the only one that thinks having to spend 16,000 temporal disrupters seems a bit excessive for a non-heroic SMS

[night frigate]

Crew?

[sturdy umbra]

Kathryn+doc+edata

[sharp pelican]

That’s because the ‘Quantum’ events are pay to complete

[sturdy umbra]

Or go loot if you have the power.

[night frigate]

Janway (c), Torres, 5/11 - LD Hugh, Tom Paris, Doctor

[pine phoenix]

EPicard Edata janeway

[night frigate]

Or swap Torres and Doctor around

[frank pike]

Too many people are just pushing ops without ship power because of gimmick ships that give more warp than power.

[sturdy umbra]

Absolutely, it's an efficient way to play for a refinery that is limited by time.

[night frigate]

ISO damage is not the way to go

[frank pike]

“I have enough power for my dailies” is the warcry of people who will fail at new loops

[sturdy umbra]

"I can't max my pilum" is the war cry of those who refuse to push ops

More like "augur"

[late pawn]

There's no "Pay" option to get a ton of Temporal D

[dusky cove]

No, "I'm F2P" is the warcry since scopely keeps upping with ship tiers/research you need to decently do new content and it has clearly jumped in the past half year

[twilit ingot]

Wasn't there a new company that took over scopely? or stfc

[gilded sand]

It's owned by some Saudi Arabian company. AKA, an oil prince or something

[night frigate]

Isn't everything?

[gilded sand]

They have their hands in a lot of places, but at the same time not really. They are trying to expand their portfolio with stuff other than oil

[twilit ingot]

Can't be an oil prince if he's desperate for money

[gilded sand]

LOL. That would be funny, but I doubt it. They are all hyper capitalistic tho and you can feel it in the game

[twilit ingot]

Tbh, at this point I want to know what the numbers are in terms of user activity per month.

100% certain the numbers are dwindling now.

[gilded sand]

According to Rev, the numbers are not groqing, but also not falling much. The game has stalled, but it's defo in the direction of falling rather than rising

[twilit ingot]

Honestly, seen it too many times. I know everyone is all like "omg, but this is Star Trek!", but every game that doesn't put aside their ego here and focus on what the people want = that stall will be a freefall soon. They're not realising that their competitors are beginning to become more aware of this and will capitulate on it at some point.

[gilded sand]

Imo, you can kinda feel it through OH's desire to be hyper positive about everything. He is desperate to find every possible thing to be possitive about and not acknowledge anything which is negative about the game. That's coping behavior imo. It's not realistic, but falling towards the direction of delusional positivity

[warm pivot]

its not because they are pushing their greed beyond believes... but they do it in a self sabotaging way
you cant even complete this sms with pack purchasing

[twilit ingot]

It's his job to be overwhelmingly positive.

So you'll get that regardless.

[twilit ingot]

My shop shows eye of ara t1-2, when my EoA is already almost t3. kek

[frank pike]

So many people are running multiple accounts just to keep server or alliance appearances up.

[twilit ingot]

Makes sense =/

[gilded sand]

Umm, that's kinda true. Not saying that ur wrong, but ideally a good CM would actually acknowledge both the possitives and negatives. RN, he is trying his best to obgiscate the nagatives, which is simply not connecting with how the community feels about the game

[humble orbit]

If your artifact is at the remnant level, then buying a pack gives you shards. Those shards can be converted into Temp Disruptors in the artifact refinery.

[frank pike]

SPEND MOAR!

[indigo tangle]

The event should be updated to be a Heroic event.

[late pawn]

ah, so the event isn't for whales, its for Super Whales.

[dull mason]

Disruptors 🤣🤣
Scopley have no idea 🤣🤣

[warm pivot]

you serious?

[frank pike]

I love how that’s the answer, not an admission that the event has abusive milestones.

[late pawn]

at least there isn't a new wave defense season right now........................

[dusky cove]

I do feel for the CM because scopely really is sending them into the trenches unarmed because this years arcs have been terrible bad and it seems they're only getting worse, the april arc was a small exception but for the rest every arc has had a terrible design (player unfriendly/way too time consuming/unsatisfying.....), disastrous technical issues or was utterly tone deaf in design (pvp focus anybody?) and june is just a combination of those. Scopely didn't even deign to give this arc good designs or grind reductions in other areas so they could try and hype that up.

[late pawn]

But officer filter though.....................

[dull mason]

https://tenor.com/view/call-police-calling-call-spongebob-patrick-star-gif-14250970

[late pawn]

CMs have been remarkably silent. One can only hope it's because the Whales (who can get things changed) are in an uproar in their private channel.

[warm pivot]

that one is a little buggy as well, while i can switch in kuron to an officer place when searchin for impulse, tlaan on the other han with ship xp refuses to react to any clicking until i close the filter.

[heady moon]

The word "hero" is tossed around a lot these days....

Can't "switch" bridge with captain either.

Let’s just cut to the chase and tell us now these are all meant to be stretch goal events for heavy spenders, much like the absurd syndicate event we just had.

[dusky cove]

Let's not forget that support for the unity version STFC uses has ended

[raven sigil]

@heady moon “difficulty” it is literally impossible unless you saved up 30 days of them. Literally one month of saving and not using a resource assuming you max pull the chest daily. If you can’t max pull its 2 months. This is from max pulling chests today

[late pawn]

Scopely tracks EVERYTHING. So they know exactly what we've already turned in, and can adjust.

[exotic berry]

@heady moon why has scopley decided to remove the "Heroic" label for all pay to play events?

[late pawn]

They didn't, they just added an upgrade "Quantum" one.. for "Extreme Whale Spending" at least through this Arc.

[hasty hemlock]

oh cool my ship just got stuck in battle while in mirror space

[dull mason]

We won't See a comp chest, anytime soon 🤨🤨

[heady moon]

Folloing up on this.

[dusky cove]

Difficulty? There's no difficulty there, it's a very easy event actually. It's basically "do you have the mats? If so complete it instantly if not you cannot complete it"

[exotic berry]

thanks 👍

[late pawn]

"Do you have the mats?" - The Answer is No. Done.

[frank pike]

Deflecting from actual negative feedback when it’s been the main focus of the afternoon is a disservice to the people you say you want to help communicate with the dev team.

Rephrase it however you want, sometimes it’s best to be serious about the problem first, then try to lighten the mood after some sort of information has been passed back to the players.

[dull mason]

The occasional gif is not deflecting feedback especially after I said I was going to follow up with the difficulty of the event. If I were spamming gifs, I would agree, but I said I was looking into it.

Listen, the only person who made a guide for handling players was Eco, they're working on a new one.

[late pawn]

strangely a lot of those players seem to be playing Monopoly Go, based on revenue.

[gilded sand]

What SF is saying is that considering how much the community here is upset about the behavior of Scopely towards the same community, any humor, be it in the form of a gif or anything else, is doing the opposite of making things better.

It's like showing an angry and very upset person a random meme on ur phone. That person is going to look at the one showing the meme like they are stupid. There is a complete emotional disconnect between both of those and the only thing it would achieve is making things worse

[raven sigil]

Just tell your girlfriend to calm down. Women appreciate that.

[gilded sand]

I imagine the playerbase of Monopoly Go to be a middle to higher age person being baited into spending on speedups or whatever they are spending on in that hellscape of a game. I might be wrong on the age group tho 🤣

[dusky cove]

Just my 2 parsteel but I dislike unrealistic milestones being called difficult, especially if they're just hoard events like this one. Those aren't difficult, they don't require clever crewing or anything. They're the easiest events around, they're just terrible designed by somebody who didn't bother to run the numbers. When you take the max amount people can get (and that's ignoring the well known issues with the silent loop) and the result is 27 days of max pulls needed an you run it twice with a week in between.....

[fast grove]

That's a good point. There is nothing truly difficult about this event.

It's just save the currency for a random event (that's how we killed the value of ultra recruits) or spend money to complete it for the handful of rewards

[late pawn]

STFC is primarily Middle Aged Men.

[exotic berry]

in this case, couldn't even finish if you saved....

[raven sigil]

Spending money won't help. And you have to save 30-60 days ahead of time which is impossible to know.

[gilded sand]

Yeah, that's the last thing I am going to say on the topic. The playerbase knows it, Scopely knows it, the CMs know it. All I am going to do is have OH write to me again in PMs about how I should not be negative on this discord server.

[late pawn]

@heady moon if we could just put an end to events that encourage you don't spend anything until a specified time.. The game would be much more enjoyable.

[solemn plaza]

As long as people keep spending and players keep playing nothing will change.

[late pawn]

People are going to be upset when a Fleet Commander Spend event comes around again, OR.. 2 years down the line, when one of them NEVER comes. Because there's no rhyme or reason to what will become "Spend" events and what won't.

[gilded sand]

So basically close the entire game 🤣

[heady moon]

I get where you're coming from and I don't want to make peeps angry, but this is still Discord and people tend to use gifs pretty regularly.

[gilded sand]

Yep, you are correct. The main people I am blaming for the cesspool that we are in, are all the addicted whales who can't find anything else to spend their money on

[late pawn]

I liked angree better.

[fast grove]

I started this month excited for the arc. Now with the past syndicate event and this artifact event. It's hard to stay optimistic

[late pawn]

It's like a weird portmanteau of "Angry" and "Agree"

[heady moon]

Oh dude! That was a roller coaster ride.

[heady moon]

The only expectation you should have is that it's going to be really bad and over priced. Then you'll never be disappointed.

[dusky cove]

that makes one of us, I read up on the MU travel mechanics and I just went "this'll likely be a nightmare" and a week later I'm already bloody burnt out on that terribe "feature". Knowing scopely I'm unsure why I'm even surprised but I'm amazed scopely managed to implement a loop I hate even more than the xindi and silent ones

[gilded sand]

I'm sorry that I sound rude, but what you said doesn't mean much tbh. The problem is not the gif. It's the attempt at humor during a tense situation and an angry crowd. Positivity and humor have their place and sometimes being synced on an emotional level with the audience and acknowledging a problem does more than any attempt at humor will ever do.

[heady moon]

So is everyone banned from using gifs in this situation or just the Community Manager?

[late pawn]

Just you. Know your place!

[gilded sand]

But at the same time I know that directly saying "Yeah, that's a problem" is not exactly in ur job description I imagine

[gilded sand]

As I said, but maybe it really is hard to understand, the gif is not the problem

[heady moon]

This legitimately made me chuckle. Appreciated.

[solemn plaza]

You may use Hamster related gifs only.

[patent granite]

I just drop into the chat and see people complaining about the arc and I’m like… I just think the game is cool.

[high crow]

@heady moon Yo OB any update on server 94 Ascended Keys its been 3 weeks

[solar trellis]

Personal feelings are not going to get the core issue of an absurd event being released with clearly no way to finish it resolved. OH can gif all he wants, as long as it's acknowledged the problem should be brought to Scopley for review.

[fast grove]

I'm having bad flashbacks of that stupid eco friendly gif haha

[heady moon]

I've responded without gifs or humor to you but I feel like that's not your perspective.

[dusky cove]

Perhaps only people who buy "prime gif posting" can post tiers? Each tier allows the user to post 1 gif per hour

[heady moon]

https://tenor.com/view/hamster-ayasan-gif-24417561

[patent granite]

Also the Federation role being Terran Empire is a nice touch

[heady moon]

Will check again.

[late pawn]

I think Humor is fine. As long as it's also "I'm aware we have a situation... moving on until I have more info." Which is what you did. If you were like "Ha, you peons just can't afford to win these events!" or something ridiculous, I'd understand the hate.

[hasty hemlock]

i dont understand with the syndicate event they didnt just

1. let free players get the 1st milestone
2. increase the points and increase the rewards at the top for spenders

could've saved a lot of grief and kept the incentive to buy

[gilded sand]

You have responded yes, but you continue to deflect the issue at hand. Anyway, this is pointless. The fact that you are able to deflect so much shows well enough that you fully understand what I am talking about. That is enough for me

[hasty hemlock]

same with the artifact event. unless its just some psychological thing they do to check the community

[late pawn]

That's how it was previously. Just leave some things alone, is all. But they keep thinking 'well they get syndicate from this / this and this.. We better make sure nobody can get it free!' (also, side note: they can't math.)

[dusky cove]

I would say the milestones are a symptom, not the root cause. This arc is designed by somebody who doesn't have the slightest clue about how the game works or what the players want if I'm being kind, the other option is that this was malicious intent by whoever cooked this nightmare up. Just the travel system alone with needing to travel system by system showcases a blatant disregard for our real life time. Not to mention I can't recall a majority of users asking for another massive grind with all cargo protections being removed with time constraints and even more possibility for pvp

[hasty hemlock]

i had a mantis tier up banked so I could double pull, then accidently pulled the wave syndicate xp. not remotely close of course lol

[vagrant meadow]

@everyone
Commanders,

We've just deployed a server hotfix aimed at addressing the following concerns raised by the community:

• players getting** kicked out from the Mirror Universe** and have their ships sent back home

This is still happening

[heady moon]

Yup. Lemme check for an update.

[solar trellis]

Oh, I agree, and would also like to add the sole sourcing for premium entry tokens in the refinery has very poor drop chance. I am currently locked of M Kronos, and 3 days of the refinery have yielded none. I have to take the 11 jumps over for a much worse source of Trel D just to make a pull.

[subtle vortex]

Is that scopely this arc with the event schedule? Each circle is a day?

[late pawn]

Yeah, it doesn't make a lot of sense to not at least get people to the first milestone. The funny thing is from a gaming / psychological standpoint.. That's how you get people to spend more money.

[dusky cove]

fun loop, isn't it?

[raven sigil]

I'm so happy I stopped spending on this game. Used to spend thousands a year. Now nothing. Probably will quit soon.

[solar trellis]

And, tbh, it started off pretty promising... How the arc felt once that first Syndicate event showed up:

[hasty hemlock]

it also drives me nuts that syndicate events are never on the calendar. during a battlepass or inbetween, never announced

[little finch]

oi

[late pawn]

Always gotta wait until reset to do your pull, just in case. At least they fixed that problem, because it doesn't matter anymore. You're not getting the first tier anyways! 🙂

[trail hill]

It does feel like they can simply put quantum in front of it and make any event more difficult to score for fewer rewards

[hasty hemlock]

thats what I do, which of course didnt matter this time. who knows next time - unlikely theyll tell us

[humble orbit]

Quantum events are supposed to be hard, some even comparable to heroics. And the rewards are premium research mats for one of the stronger trees in the game.

[solar trellis]

#🌌-galaxy-chat message

[shell crag]

Scopely, just have a folder dedicated to heroic and quantum events, it makes everyone know that those events are pay only, problem solved.

[late pawn]

They already answered this... You can get your artifacts to level 15 or higher and get "Shards" .... Which you can do for the low low price of $10,000.

[humble orbit]

Prime TD would have helped if you bought it when it was released, you'd be closer to finishing it. What's the concern there?

Remnant'ing a temporal artifact only requires getting it to T8.

[nova shadow]

The event isn't hard. You have to save for 27 days (F2P) then its easy. You can either do it, or you can't.

There isn't a hard way to accomplish the goal

There is nothing you can do in game to complete it

[late pawn]

"DON'T USE YOUR RESOURCES FOR ANYTHING EVER, UNLESS EVENT." - That's the STFC way. It's garbage from a gameplay standpoint, but it is the game we got.

[humble orbit]

This is a strategic base builder game, and making and sticking to plans is hard. The effort had to have been made before today, you're right about that part.

[late pawn]

Not Effort.

[nova shadow]

Even if you do save, the rewards are barely worth it. You get like half a research out of it.

[pine phoenix]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1217585499745550336/1250158060387696720/Screenshot_20240611_204043_Star_Trek_Fleet_Command.jpg?ex=6669ebec&is=66689a6c&hm=0c52aaf4ab57b7fcc457a42e7efc10e7488faa02cb666af24b60f91fb26be4d3&

Quality

[late pawn]

"Do not spend any resources you get. Making the game objectively harder in the interim, so you can get some POTENTIAL reward, IF we do an event around it."

[humble orbit]

Also true, hoarding can often end up paying out poorly.

[late pawn]

Since there's no rhyme or reason to when there will be events based around things, it's just bad game design.

[main marten]

It is "stragetic"... but Scopely can change events at will, and don't tell us exactly what we need to save for, so it is blind guessing at best.

[fast grove]

Hoarding ruins currencies. When was the last time there was an ultra recruit event

[nova shadow]

And they abandon stuff all the time. Remember when we used to have Ultra Recruit spend events? Now we all have 100k plus tokens and they don't do any events

[late pawn]

Fleet commander? How many people have been saving that stuff, even though they will probably never run an event again.. because they're done with Fleet Commanders.

[silver parcel]

there's a recruit slb on the 14th

[humble orbit]

Last month we had a champion event that rewarded epic/rare shard gains. Ultras could have been used there.

[late pawn]

As soon as enough people spend the resources though.. Scopely will have the bright idea to run a Fleet commander event.

[nova shadow]

ATA events are gone

[tall viper]

@.dragonkeeper they're gonna act cheeky about it, do one more, and then forget it forever

[urban needle]

No it used to be . Now there is just a greedy cashers game left with lots of imbalances especially in Event brackets.

[nova shadow]

Everything just gets abandoned after we are conditioned to save

[dusky cove]

eh call me jaded but I felt it was bad from the start just by the MU travel mechanic as they felt intentionally convoluted and rl time consuming

[pine phoenix]

If we saving stuff scopley will never run the events
No money in it
See ultra recruit token
No events for it because we save them up

[dusky cove]

and they made ultra recruit packs nearly useelss as it is

[nova shadow]

Sure......but when you're in an SLB with all the Ops 60+ and they get the full unlocks of the new officers and you get maybe half spending 100k ultras isn't going to make up the ground

[late pawn]

@humble orbit I don't think anyone that answers honestly can say that creating events that encourage people to not use the resources they get until an event that nobody knows if it will happen.. is good game design.

[silver parcel]

But it is profitable, and that's their only concern

[late pawn]

Certain things make sense because they're regular. "Eclipse" made sense, you know not to use directives until Thursday, because it's LIKE CLOCKWORK. All of the other is just guessing. That's not strategy, that's stupidity.

[solar trellis]

Unless there is, such as in the case of today's TD event, no pack in the store. Today is literally a case of "hope you saved, otherwise you're SoL."

[humble orbit]

I can say that events are made in a way that things aren't gifted for free. At this point, if they made an Ultra recruit SMS, the reward is "free." The more interesting case is in SLBs, and if they want to continue feeding the hoarding behavior they've nurtured in the past. I think they're moving away from that, and there are signs that show it.

[silver parcel]

the lack of pack is what gives the idea that it may be a mistake and it's being looked into

[late pawn]

Like the event today, that only works if you were a hoarder?

[wheat pendant]

Even then hoarding didn’t get you the max for the event unless you were a serial hoarder than never took part in other artefact sms and slbs

[late pawn]

And they're moving away from some, like they won't ever do a Fleet Commander event again, because too many people are still saving. Lol. Like I said, they WILL do it, if they notice a majority of people spend down their Fleet Commander resources first.

But again, we're just back to BAD GAME DESIGN.

[silver parcel]

probably won't see a fc event until there's a new fc

[late pawn]

No other way to say it. It's bad, and there's no interest in it getting better. Even though it would INCREASE revenue if they did it correctly.

[solar trellis]

Tbh? Wouldn't be surprised if a MU character like Empress Kira will be one.

[wheat pendant]

The fact people are even trying to defend this blatant greed is astonishing. Give people f2p with paid too rewards: people will pay. Make something completely p2w: most will tell the company where to shove it

[humble orbit]

How would you do it? this is a game that favors having resources on hand. I think people will hoard no matter what you do.

[solid kayak]

shell have a below decks ability for mining trellium d faster

[fast grove]

Lol scopley. We have screenshot. You can change event descriptions all you want.

[pine phoenix]

We hoard because scopley FOMO
They created the problem

[late pawn]

Regular intervals would help for one. Or even if you create an event, you keep it.

[silver parcel]

There's enough days in the month that that can run all the slb types and have some days leftover. They can also announce them instead of throwing them out of the blue.

But that would run counter to their fomo

[pine phoenix]

You so getting a DM for this 😂

[solar trellis]

#FakeNews
😆

[late pawn]

If you have an event for spending Temporal Disrupters, you keep it around after the Arc. If you create a Fleet commander spend event, you keep it around. OR you announce that it's dead and there will be NO MORE spend events related to that resource.

[pine phoenix]

That they called Fixed 😂

[solar trellis]

Gotta agree here. Scopley created the FOMO mentality in its player base.

[wheat pendant]

Regular events for all would be a start, and a FULL schedule, not the “oh maybe we will add something” we currently have. There’s a reason people save syndicate xp in their bp until the event comes round. But even then they spat in our face this week with syndicate

[late pawn]

Not even fixed on mine. Probably have to restart to see the "Fix" 🙂

[dusky cove]

it isn't stupidity, it's FOMO design

[late pawn]

yeah, but this doesn't help keep people playing. It doesn't even help keeping them spending. Again, just bad game design. Which is stupidity.

[humble orbit]

I think that's going to cause a lot of problems if someone calls an event dead, and a future arc runner wants to run one. The best case for devs is to never call an event dead so that it won't happen.

[late pawn]

Then yeah, the game is irrevocably broken if that's always going to be the case.

[dry valve]

@humble orbit Can you flag up a spend temporal disrupters event on and you can’t buy any …

[humble orbit]

I've already done that, it's being monitored.

You can "buy" them though.

[dry valve]

Buy the arts

I need the step before that no?

[solar trellis]

But they are allegedly wanting to move away from FOMO mentality, yet are still fostering it every arc. I'm not calling for them to announce if an sms/slb is dead, but full transparency on calenders would be a nice start.

[humble orbit]

Yeah, and convert the shards to TDs.

[warm pivot]

and if you are ops locked in upgrading?

like be 45

[late pawn]

You have to buy enough to max it.. And then convert the shards. It's a Premium Uber Whale event.

[dry valve]

With a terrible conversion rate once maxed

[warm pivot]

scopely just made an oopsie again and pretends nothing happened

[silver parcel]

If that was the intent all along, it's an even bigger slap to the face than as it currently appears.

[fast grove]

Better to buy a car with the money they are expecting you to spend

[dry valve]

I’d rather buy the disrupters 😂

[wheat pendant]

This is a joke right? You can only do that ops 50+ for most arefacts

[late pawn]

Or basically.. he's just being pendatic.

[solar trellis]

I can do conversion on the Eye (artifact efficiency) artifact. That's it. Not really enough time has passed to have more than 2 or 3 at rank 8.

[humble orbit]

I'd guess 55. But yes, it's a way to do the event. I don't think it's the intended way though.

[late pawn]

I'm ops locked from upgrading the Eye any further. So Cand1e is just making stuff up anyways.

[wheat pendant]

I have 5 artefacts that could be maxed…. Except I can’t because surprise surprise ops locked

[late pawn]

Like there "IS" a way... It's not possible.. but there is TECHNICALLY a way.. AKA Pendantic.

[solar trellis]

Didn't realize getting to rank 8 was Ops gated until now... That sucks.

[warm pivot]

eye of ara above tier 4 needs 45 as well, or was it 43?

[late pawn]

The way is Spend $5000 to get your Ops from 45 to 51 in a few hours, then spend another $500+ to get one Artifact high enough to get shards..

[warm pivot]

anyway, scopely ruins anything...

[late pawn]

And then spend enough on the artifact that you don't need to get more shards to turn in for measely rewards

See? Possible.

[humble orbit]

It's possible for lots of people, not everyone.

[late pawn]

"Lots" = 5 per server

[urban needle]

And then you compete with OPS70 in a lot of SLB Events

[dusky cove]

Anybody wants to bet one of the next arcs will require playing monopoly go to finish the arc?

[wheat pendant]

Can I have whatever candle is smoking?

[warm pivot]

they just dont deserve anymore defense

[fast grove]

Guys let's not forget what we are getting for the rewards though. I mean they are pretty hefty. You get 500 premium dust which is almost enough to do one tier of one research. Pretty good if you ask me 🤣🤣🤣

[warm pivot]

just critique

[humble orbit]

You're estimating kinda low. It's not difficult for a G5 to be in that position.

[wheat pendant]

Statistically it’s possible for maybe 10% of players. Most players are still around the ops 39 mark

[humble orbit]

Thanks, that's more reasonable than 5.

[late pawn]

I'm not sure.. I mean MAYBE? again, if they want to spend $1000+ But at that point

you might as well just buy the mats you "win"

even if not available now (haven't looked, because don't need them, yet) .. They will be.

[wheat pendant]

Let’s be honest if you’re going to spend 1000$+ on this game you’d go max ops and the best ships, not this event

[fast grove]

100$ gets you 4x premium dust than that event the expect you to spend on

[late pawn]

So there you go.. Buy the premium dust, save yourself $900.

[fast grove]

Now that's value 🤣

[wheat pendant]

Scopely can’t even get their own pricing and events right to max profits 😂

[late pawn]

I mean any apologist trying to say this event makes sense.. Has something going on that can't be fixed.

[humble orbit]

You're making up villains. No one has said this event makes sense.

[urban needle]

Ops56-59.
2 made it to the last milestone.
Looks like 1 of them bought a prime for it.

[late pawn]

Best course is "Yeah, it's not really meant for people to do, or they made a mistake, but sure it's technically possible for a small subset."

[humble orbit]

But it would be a lie to say that spending cannot finish it.

[pine phoenix]

So fix it
Ad heroic to it
And all happy

[late pawn]

yeah, I guess when talking about things I speak in reasonableness. If they had a pack to directly buy TD .. then I would say "Yes, spending would be a path that they intended for people to take."

[humble orbit]

Right, and the lack of that pack suggests that this event is not right.

[late pawn]

And while I may still Disagree with that, at least it's the game that I know I'm getting.

[warm pivot]

spending in a way could fix all problems, just buy the company and replace incompetence

bad argument

[late pawn]

Saudi Arabia is not selling.

[wheat pendant]

Isn’t that a sad state of affairs: event isn’t right because pack isn’t around

[warm pivot]

they would sell for hundretfold the investment. buisnessman talk money not stubborness

[late pawn]

I mean, sure if the price is ridiculous. But Scopely is literally billions in revenue after Monopoly Go. So we're talking .0001% of people that could buy it. But you're correct "Money" could technically fix it.

[pine phoenix]

https://tenor.com/view/shade-watching-baby-yoda-messy-tea-gif-12692722566736320360

[late pawn]

Last I checked STFC was third place in Revenue (not profit) at around 500m/year

[boreal oasis]

they're trying to improve their image by attracting people through games/sports

[night frigate]

Ops53... What level hostiles do they have to hit? Trying to help a friend

I mean Silent hostiles

[boreal oasis]

there has been a lot of professional athletes that are refusing out of principle

[late pawn]

Player Ops System Name Hostile Levels
40-45 Aethera Nova 41, 44
46-50 Orinthus Prime 46, 49
51-54 Valtara Minor 51, 53
55-59 Lyrae Nebula 55, 57

[night frigate]

Ops53 guy says 53-55 on top of his refine via Alliance > Store > Artifacts

So what system would he have to go to for loot?

I couldn't find the patch notes

[late pawn]

You mean these that they link back to in their own Help Articles.. but get rid of after an arc? 🙂 https://startrekfleetcommand.com/update-64-patch-notes/

[night frigate]

Haha

[humble orbit]

SS of this refinery?

[night frigate]

Yes, says it's an error and can't view the patch notes

[late pawn]

@night frigate has he tried the system I posted? Valtara Minor?

[night frigate]

Yes, that is the system he needs

I found the patch notes after all

I had to manually go to it

https://startrekfleetcommand.com/news/page/3/

Then from here, I had to click Update 64 in order for it to show

[late pawn]

They need new Web Administrators and Developers. But what else is new?

[night frigate]

They need new everything

Even the ticket system is completely automated, and at the end of every ticket.... 'You will reiceve no further communication regarding this topic'

Great job

LMAO

New servers

New coders

My server still experiences a lot of lag just before event reset and at event reset

[pine phoenix]

Seriously who made the points for events in this arc ?
He is a math genius
Give him a bonus payment

[night frigate]

I haven't checked the milestones yet

Is there a problem?

[warm pivot]

they already altered the ign eventcalendar to make it look like it was intended

[night frigate]

Been too busy killing all these new hostiles released every month to pay attention

Lol

Xindi, Gorn, Silent, Mirror

I've mentioned it before, but there was a roadmap last year where they stated they would reduce screentime

LOL

[late pawn]

Listen, I got halfway to the first milestone! That's all we can expect F2P. 😂

[night frigate]

Apparently Talios was one of those reductions in screen time........

[late pawn]

They did, you can only spend 20 minutes in the MU. Of course it has to be focused minutes, but you didn't specify how you wanted them to reduce it.

[warm pivot]

i could reach the 2nd, depending on if they give me the points for completing artifacts or not

[night frigate]

Releasing a new set of hostiles for a 20 minute grind is not reduction of screen time

[jaunty holly]

someone forget to feed the server hamsters? lag is unreal today

[late pawn]

they won't.. they removed them. So "wasn't intended" to count toward scoring.

[warm pivot]

but i will not gimp my ktinga for xindihunt giving it more critchance for nothing

[proven bolt]

omg you’re right

[pine phoenix]

It's no lag
They slow down game like cm slow down dc
So we not complaining so much 😂

[night frigate]

Yesterday, even with lat Rush, it took a little under 3 hours for my rewards to come through

[late pawn]

@heady moon feels like they jumped on the last "accidentally too high" scoring event.. recently. And not hearing anything about this one. Seems like it was intended then.

Maybe they just forgot to put up the Temporal Disruptor Pack.

[pine phoenix]

Compensation chest this time ?

[main marten]

There is one for sale...limit 2... 16k TD each

[proven bolt]

No, they changed the event description to fit the one they released

[late pawn]

nobody has verified it's a mistake

[jaunty holly]

well guess what... it just showed up in the shop

[warm pivot]

i just want another interview with mr tiger from dj, confronting him about his great arc features being ruined by stupid event design

i really wanna know if there is a level of frustration

[jaunty holly]

$99 for 16k disruptors, not even enough to pull a single artifact

[late pawn]

RIP OFF

The Scopely Way

[late pawn]

Also Comp chests suck now since they "fixed" them to one type of payout.

[night frigate]

Haven't had anything since the day it was released

LOL

[jaunty holly]

because the game is working fine /s

[pine phoenix]

I know they will like from beginning of the arc pretend everything is perfect

[night frigate]

Is it?

People getting kicked from Mirror Universe still?

And that's perfect? HAHAHA

Even after the hotfix

The lag is still in the game and causing issues

[pine phoenix]

I just want comp chest to see how much emergency field rations in if All server's involved not only EU
Want see if got screwed because EU player

[night frigate]

We are all screwed

We play STFC

[humble orbit]

16k should be enough for an epic unlock. The rest of the pack looks like more mats as well.

[magic gyro]

USA beat as well

[late pawn]

the best comp they did was probably when they gave out a month of the Elite Daily Reward Pack a while back

[magic gyro]

server 16

[pine phoenix]

It will never get fixed
The so called hot fix was just a fairy tale

[late pawn]

And they probably meant to type 3, and typed 30 on accident.

[night frigate]

I know it was never fixed, as I still get kicked myself

And as the ticket system is of no use with no signs of reimbursement, I end up sending PMs to CMs just to get some sort of human response/help

[late pawn]

it's pathetic for the cost, but you're right.. it is an amount. And you were also right, they forgot to release the overpriced pack to go with the event.

[night frigate]

I had actually PMd a CM the other day, they had my problem fixed in 15 minutes and I thought... That is the best thing to come out of Scopely in the last few years

So polite, very helpful, fixed my issue.... Made my day over such a small thing

[pine phoenix]

Someone in scopley is getting trouble now
Forget put pack out for sale is a no go

[magic gyro]

hot fix comng soon...

[dense iris]

i heard the responsible intern was immured alive

[night frigate]

Hotfix for a bug from 4 years ago?

[magic gyro]

4000 temp disruptors per $100 pack

limit 2

🤣

JK

[late pawn]

its 16k for $99.99 not much better.

[magic gyro]

OH THERE IS A PACK!!

[late pawn]

yep. Just appeared

[drowsy idol]

Quick fixed! Thanks god

[austere pulsar]

So this is how they fix the event.. with a pack and changing the event notes.. come on scopley..

[heady moon]

Yeah.... putting together an announcement about that. Pack should be available now.

[heady moon]

Pack should be in store.

[late pawn]

Saw it. Overpriced, but to be expected. Thanks.

[dry valve]

I would have added the temporal arts to the scoring , peeps might of bought them and Xindi Directive’s.

[heady moon]

Yup.

[pine phoenix]

And the comp chest?

[dusky cove]

what great arc feature? This is one of the worst designed arcs ever, I would argue it is even worse than the xindie series

[humble orbit]

Cooldown too long on the xindi, one bad pull and you're still stuck.

[pine phoenix]

Wait for next arc 😂

[dry valve]

All true, but still only chance to get this

[humble orbit]

I saw someone get a full unlock of the Ara when that loop was released. Been dreaming of that windfall.

[warm pivot]

how many hours of truly listening to some arguments do you have? i could explain it to you why but i`d rather not waste time

[humble orbit]

Maybe it was the watch, either way, a full unlock.

[silver parcel]

my first pull i got a full unlock on the watch

nothing since then

probably talking about me since i posted it here

[subtle vortex]

Panic is over the pack has been released. We can all go back to ignoring the event now 🤦

[dry valve]

Make the packs super tasty, slap up a SLB.. let ftp earn SMS and we all game on 😆

[dusky cove]

I'll likely be awake for another 2 hours but I do need to sort some RL stuff. I will say that while I'm obviously open for other view points you're unlikely to change my mind as the bloody travel system by system coupled with a time limit coupled with infuriates me even more than the january xindi loop which was mainly mindnumbingly boring

[late pawn]

I was using TD on Ara... only to realize it's ops / building locked. Lol. It didn't have anything obvious saying that, so now I have it ready to level, but can't. Which is awesome.

[humble orbit]

You're in luck, the SMS only scores for spending TDs. 😃

[late pawn]

oh.. well before the SMS.

[silver parcel]

used all that i had

[late pawn]

more of a saver than I am, for sure.

[warm pivot]

the whole game design from the beginning had pvp in mind, it was built around zone and sector control but the tech was lacking and players just appeared out of nowhere instead. all what was missing to make a pvp worthy area is in this arc.
do i think it is great to have pve features inside a pvp focused zone? no... but finally the tech is there

[silver parcel]

i saved since the last temporal event

[dry valve]

Who says they don’t know how to score events,

[silver parcel]

so had 16k + today's pull

if i had the prime it would've been doable

[dry valve]

[late pawn]

For $99.99 more you can get another 16k

[silver parcel]

was able to do this at least

[dry valve]

Perfect fomo reinforcement, you didn’t get it you loose 😆🥂

[silver parcel]

and get the stone to tier 2

[late pawn]

@heady moon would be nice if the Artifact Store gave current amount / amount to next Level on it.

[dusky cove]

I'm not even talking about the pvp aspect, which due to the P2W design is a joke, I'm talking about the joke of a travel system for starters, the real life time needed, the absurd event milestones, the lack of a proper level spread in hostiles,.... This arc to me feels like an even worse execution of the xindi arc. I

[pine phoenix]

Can we have a big aplauz and big thank to scopley for listening to our feedback and fixed the event?

[fast grove]

Now it will be twice as expensive next month

[wheat pendant]

Quality over quantity remember….. certainly the quantity of paid packs have gone up, not sure about the quality though

[warm pivot]

have a second ship do dailies somewhere else while traversing? 🤷‍♂️

yyou got a time display at the bottom

[late pawn]

Travel system , you mean the Portal things? Pretty bad

[sinful osprey]

quantity of events that require packs is through the roof, think all the quantum events out right now require lots of spend to finish

[late pawn]

Think they mean the actual portal jumping / mapping out routes ... not the TIME ? but not sure

[dusky cove]

yeah I do mean needing to travel zone by zone instead of just being able to warp to the target system or at least set an autopath

[late pawn]

My Warp time to get places is nearly non-existent anymore.

[warm pivot]

i am for autopath as well some qol addition

[dry valve]

Boring

[dusky cove]

I would still dislike the time lost but it would at least remove some of my frustration with the MU design

[warm pivot]

but missing comfort doesnt make the feature bad

[silver parcel]

There should be a fast travel option once you unlock the system

[dry valve]

Dear god, you all missing the entire point not to have that 😆

[pine phoenix]

Was reported as dumb idea that we have to be there, watching it, clicking it portal by portal
Waste of our time
6 min I need to go for trelium D hostile
Its ridiculous dumb game play

[silver parcel]

Using common and uncommon keys, you got 12 minutes left when you make it to the 60 zone

15 if you use a premium

worse for the higher level zones

[warm pivot]

thats why they sell em, intended flaw you can overcome by spending... thats greedy design

[late pawn]

"We have to focus and spend too much time doing MU." Scopely: "Traveling through a portal will remove 5 minutes from your remaining time." FIXED!

[dusky cove]

It does for me, a car could have great design but if the steering wheel has spikes on it and the seat gives me a rash I still won't enjoy driving it

[pine phoenix]

The dev called this travelling times as exciting
In dj show

[silver parcel]

Alternative definitions of words are in vogue.

[dusky cove]

lol do you happen to have a link to that? Please tell me DJ told them they were being bonkers

[fringe anchor]

Tbh I think the majority of players on here want to minimise the time spent on STFC!! NOT spend more time doing stupid worthless stuff!!

[exotic berry]

the event is coded incorrectly, per game description.

when will the event be corrected?

[dry valve]

What do you lot do in PvP, click a system warp over and die ?

[warm pivot]

i would say it automatic vs gears... switching gears all the time vs snooze cruisin

[late pawn]

reboot and it will be

[exotic berry]

still showing the incorrect scoring

[dusky cove]

add in stalling or the engine blowing randomly when switching gears and we're closer

[silver parcel]

that is the "correct" scoring

[exotic berry]

no it's not

[warm pivot]

performance issue, not feature

[silver parcel]

you're posting the slb

[exotic berry]

after reboot, it's still incorrect

[late pawn]

That's the correct scoring. The other screen you showed was incorrect.

It updated on my. Clear localization.

[silver parcel]

they quietly changed the description of the sms in the news section

[dusky cove]

I disagree as it's a lack of testing of said feature

[silver parcel]

to match the score card

[late pawn]

the SLB artifacts and such count.. On the SMS only TD counts

[exotic berry]

sorry

that's the SMS

with the correct scoring

[late pawn]

Reboot, or clear localization. They've fixed it to remove everything from SMS except TD

[silver parcel]

Like i said, it was changed to match the score card

[exotic berry]

so instead of fixing the problem, they screwed the players over? is this the right answer @heady moon ?

[late pawn]

"It was always intended to only count TD." Will be the response.

They want you to spend $99.99 on 16k TD

[warm pivot]

[silver parcel]

Two slaps to the face. The third slap to the face is that it's running a second time.

[late pawn]

But I mean, anyone that thinks Scopely cares about Gameplay, and not just money.. is just kidding themselves to feel better for the time they already invested.

[dusky cove]

I would LOVE to see the dev who cooked the arc up run some of the events on an account we design on a live stream while they expalin how engaging the MU is

[wheat pendant]

Fourth slap to the face is they probably have another one planned they didn’t put in schedule, like so many events last arc or syndicate

[late pawn]

fourth slap in the face is that they will run it once more, and then NEVER again, while people save TDs for eternity.

[silver parcel]

The rogue dungeon style of the MU is actually fun. The travel times with the limited timer, the limited sourcing on the travel currency and entrance fee, the cooldown on the entrance fee is what makes it a fail.

Scopely right now be like:

[pine phoenix]

Questions
Is that absolutely f2p quantum artifact sms needed for the meta ?

[silver parcel]

it scores for it

[fast grove]

I wouldn't call the quantum mirror universe 1 sms a meta. I doubt scopley intends for anyone spending less than 500 to get it

[wheat pendant]

Pretty sure only way that event can even possibly be completed f2p is if you somehow miraculously managed to win every mirror Picard recruit slb

[dry valve]

There is a better spend way, they just didn’t match up rewards for a knife fight slb 🤣

[pine phoenix]

Best arc ever 😂
Next one will be pay to open game

[frank pike]

Always

[exotic berry]

how many more lies do players need to be told before scopley realizes there won't be any more players left?

[frank pike]

They want people to be really bad at math and spend money on packs to finish events for the premium dust and forget there is a pack for just…. Premium dust.

They don’t just want spenders, they want stupid spenders.

[late pawn]

Everyone is out of the office they went out to celebrate another successful Arc.

[exotic berry]

if the event was intended that way, then fine.

but it wasn't. it was clearly intended to score with the traditional scoring metrics with all the other scoring

[echo schooner]

I have not got beyond the first rift system, once a day, pop across try and hit 50 hostiles and return, what an arc!

[pine phoenix]

He said in the show how exciting it was run away from opc hunter with 36k trelium mined
36k 😂😂

[late pawn]

They counted how many people were holding onto Artifacts, and decided they won't allow it for SMS scoring.

[pine phoenix]

So you lucky and don't get kicked by bug

[proven bolt]

No, I’m pretty sure they messed up the sms scoring and we’re told too late by players to fix

[late pawn]

OPC.. when there is no OPC. Sounds like a typical thing they would say.

[heady moon]

Good catch. Will pass on.

[late pawn]

well I guess technically there is. 1 is OPC in MU 🙂

[echo schooner]

Been lucky so far but only go there once a day, that seems to be the requirement for lower level players, really feel for those who need to travel through several systems multiple times to do the event

[late pawn]

There's not really "too late" ... Everything is tracked. So if they really wanted to, they could give credit for people that already redeemed Artifacts etc.

[pine phoenix]

He not answered when got asked what can dig 36k in this time
Probably a max g6 miner
So they play and not understand us mortals have problems

[stark fjord]

so is pm cath with entperise -a good against level 50 ksg fighter when I get there

[late pawn]

I get 11k from 1 run killing hostiles. So will probably keep doing that for a while yet.

[humble orbit]

You can try it, but an ent isn't supposed to last all the way to the end of DS.

In all likelihood, it'll perform pretty poorly based on what I've seen so far.

[late pawn]

My ent is mothballed at Ops 45.

[pine phoenix]

Its getting more and more annoying and we not really getting the prime stuff for shorter travel
All is designed to generate painfully game play or buy buy buy
Good idea got destroyed by ferengi rules

[pine phoenix]

Trelium D ?

[stark fjord]

well I ment the entprise-a at ops 50 which has a warp range of 190 at tier 1

[late pawn]

yeah

[humble orbit]

Oh, an entA is more than enough.

[pine phoenix]

Nice

[late pawn]

Speed Crew and killing Level 40 hostiles. 8500 in Boxes, and the rest in cargo.

[heady moon]

Thanks for catching!

[pine phoenix]

Lv 40 not have trelium D

[stark fjord]

is the level 51 the most an enterprise-a can hit for the most rep or can it go higher

[late pawn]

Oh.. A .. not D. I don't keep track well enough lol

[exotic berry]

will the event be corrected?

[silver parcel]

it was "corrected":

they added a pack in the store and changed the news description

[late pawn]

too many "currencies"

[pine phoenix]

I do now 18k trelium A on lv51 and chest
But on trelium D only 4k

[silver parcel]

don't expect to complete any of the quantum events without spending

[humble orbit]

Starting there is fine. When you feel you're ready, you can try the survey-only systems in MU.

[heady moon]

Looks like there's an SMS and an SLB today.

[wheat pendant]

I’m willing to give scopely 100$ to fix the event back to what it should be

[late pawn]

The description originally said that Artifact Restoration, etc.. counted for the SMS. They quietly changed it. But some peoples game still shows it.

[wheat pendant]

Oh sorry let me correct that in post: 100 Russian rubles

[echo schooner]

I appear to be short of unobtainium, I could have swore there was some for sale somewhere 🤣
