GQ is with you FOREVER

https://tenor.com/view/forever-sandlot-the-sandlot-gif-13526090

[marble shoal]

And that is a problem

[boreal oasis]

GQ is fine, i just wish it came with some game improvements

[tiny tendon]

Yes, but you could swap out the GQ IP with something Trek for this arc, and the mechanics of it would still be awful.

[slim sierra]

https://tenor.com/view/gq-man-of-the-year-that's-a-big-honor.i-can't-think-of-anyone-more-worthy.-interior-design-indoors-face-gif-2641261562287325702

This is what I picture when anyone says "GQ" - I can't help it.

[obtuse sonnet]

Wtf?!?!

[slim sierra]

I don't think anyone disagrees, although I hear some people do like Galaxy Quest. But it was probably a Paramount request to a company licensed to use their IP.

[dark shadow]

Agreed GQ isnt the real issue here, its the mechanics of the process.

[split zinc]

Will the event store update you think to offer better stuff? Just faction credits and resources for me 😩

[slim sierra]

Now that I would like to hear more about if you folks are willing.

[obtuse sonnet]

Why is a 44 system requiring a warp range now of 230?!?! Come on scopely

[slim sierra]

On one hand, we were told this was a loop (ugh) but rewarding (definitions vary). What I've been reading here is that it isn't balanced for QOL but I'd like to know more about it.

[silver parcel]

what system

[dark shadow]

Sure. Its the mindless need to kill half a million fatu kray on our server to finish the IMS (which we wont come close to). Also, its the Chimera directive sourcing, its so low that its a non-starter in its current form. Most players will get to kill one Chimera each event store loop.... Also, the event loop is a botters paradise, making the SLBs not competitive for those that follow the TOS.

[boreal oasis]

where to begin, well for starters all of my ships are out afk grinding for the SLB

[silver parcel]

where is your station at

[obtuse sonnet]

It’s a 44 system a warp range of 230 is the islands for crying out loud

[lyric haven]

Maybe try moving your base back to a system with a lower warp range before blaming others

[rocky escarp]

start with sourcing for new fake madas 🤣 . I have only gotten enough for one - super engaging ......

[obtuse sonnet]

Oops my bad your right lmao

[silver parcel]

The warp range is actually 105

It's only that high for you because of where your station is at

[slim sierra]

Yikes, it isn't super engaging if you can't actually earn thingies to do them... Understood.

[silver parcel]

0, 50 or 100, People have been getting 0, 50 mostly, have yet to see anyone say they got 100

[marble shoal]

I just don't understand tying Faction favors (Rom, Fed, Klingon) to the Fatu invasion?? Galactic Acclaim tokens can only be obtained when an invasion is active

[silver parcel]

1 start from elite bp, maybe 1 or 2 starts from the daily cooldown.

hard pressed to call it a loop when it's an event like megacube

[rocky escarp]

it is not - plus it's a chance. I should get one more tomorrow. they should be required to use the eye icon [ from faction store ] on all pulls - cant repeek in Fatu_Krey Scrap exchange. Not to mention it was a new mechanic to claim in an event store. I think we had confusion on that .

[marble shoal]

As I said it's not the favors that are the issue. It's tying them to Galaxy Quest grind.

[rocky escarp]

I mean they should have kicked us off with a couple of starts. very similar to mirror start. They need to know we actually like figuring stuff out. Hard when you maybe get one chance a day to tie it together......

[lyric haven]

Pulled 100 twice thus far. Ran 2, no bp purchase

[rocky escarp]

lucky - not having 2 starts has pushed me way down LB's

[lyric haven]

Def got lucky. Still better than MU exo drop rates

[tranquil maple]

I have pulled two 50's...which means one shot for me

[marble shoal]

So maybe I'm blind and haven't followed the convos but I don't think I've seen anyone saying, Oh yeah GQ I love the mechanics??

[rocky escarp]

know what I think - bek should post a vid of her doing the loop / these events as a new 40. that I would watch .....

[marble shoal]

Correct me if I'm wrong but the Fed, Rom and Klingon favors are tied to Galactic acclaim tokens which are only obtained through Fatu invasion events while the Invasion is active??

[silver parcel]

correct

[marble shoal]

That is the mistake in my opinion.

[rocky escarp]

now wondering how often this happens - so we can calculate F2P for the Ship. None of us will get favors until we have the ship. The rich get richer........

[silver parcel]

next run is on the 21st

[civic geyser]

It’s been this long since the game was fun

[slim sierra]

I've seen some folks who don't mind them but I can't say I have seen any overwhelming praise for the mechanics. That said, I tend to hear from folks who don't like things more so than people who do so it's a little skewed perhaps.

[marble shoal]

Incursions, Invasions, War Room.....To much of a good thing is still to much

[rocky escarp]

ya - but will it be like incursions and cancelled all the time - just never know....

[marble shoal]

There is just so much in the game that isn't really tied to the main game. Or at least barely attached. To many closed loops/grinds.

[bitter temple]

GQ in stfc will officially be lore... GQ is now trek

[rocky escarp]

ill say one thing that was right- i can't engague with it yet. Its a 2 parter [1] ya for new drip of prime particles. really, honestly. [2] Boo for the actual prime particles they included. Really old and statistically not great. Plus a forever grind to get them. I guess its better than nothing. would have been way cooler if it was like valor or mirror particles....

[opal meadow]

Orville would've been better

[rocky escarp]

disney -nope

[marble shoal]

Still so much ST to explore. Other franchises are not necessary yet

[slim sierra]

I have already requested Andromeda. No Orville. 🤣

[opal meadow]

🤷

[rocky escarp]

space hercules?

[slim sierra]

No, I like Tyr and the Nietzscheans. LOL

I did enjoy the backstory on what happened to them though... it was a less optimistic take on "the Federation" in its way... and they 've tried to replicate that in more recent Trek -- down to the swarming eat you from the inside monsters -- but they're missing something that made that work... at least for me.

[civic geyser]

I’m on board with this 🥰

[near bloom]

Do they shout louder or shout more? 👀

[slow rock]

I think I've been too harsh on the event it is playable and it is good improvement from past events that offered more discouragement than encouragement like the invisible enemy which I still haven't eaten or done anything with

[slim sierra]

Both typically -- which is to be expected... there have been studies showing that people are about 5 times more likely to leave a review about a negative experience than they are a positive one.

It's how humans are wired.

[near bloom]

Reminds me, I still need to leave a few reviews for my good times on my holiday the other week 😬

[dull mason]

Seriously....
This is the
👉🏼Great Sarris Invasion store..
What a Joke for All the hassle of placing 1st 🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️

[slow rock]

The invisible enemy has probably great rewards so do the xindi but they're hiding kind of bouncer for the spike club LOL

This is a little more balanced I'm just a little more gun shy after all of that

[near bloom]

I have no idea what y’all are on about cos I need to git gudder, but I won a thing.

[civic geyser]

Don’t go spending it all at once

[near bloom]

https://tenor.com/view/southpark-gone-gif-4781884

[slow rock]

I think the grinding needs to be cut down a little bit it's becoming more of a discouraging factor that it is a encouraging one

🌮👀

Here taco pay attention LOL fetch

🌮😂🍺 I got to go to work you guys have fun depending game and figuring all this out for me

[boreal oasis]

screen time is currently insane

[silver parcel]

probably the two letters capitalized

[dull mason]

Definitely..

[low canyon]

How? Why?

[warm osprey]

How's everyone doing on this... balanced event?

[dull mason]

It's a short term for X

[civic geyser]

Was gonna say the ops33 as scopley don’t like you g3 guys

[dull mason]

FYI X xx isn't allowed LoL

[tranquil maple]

I have gotten 50 in each pull...which means I was able to run a SINGLE one.

[low canyon]

Figures... Not going to type all that again, so whatever

[dull mason]

FKR is... LoL 🤣😂

[warm osprey]

Bruh.. but this server milestone is just pure bs.. no way we will finish that

[silk cove]

I actually like GQ as an addition, but the mechanics of this are beyond underbaked. My server definitely won't finish, lots of folks can't even launch a chimera because of RNG, etc. Lack of clarify on what officers even work caused lots of others to waste their 1 shot at a chimera, etc. @slim sierra

[dull mason]

🤣☝️

[low canyon]

This game is much better once you learn to ignore all LB events.

[fluid shuttle]

https://tenor.com/view/the-simpsons-homer-simpson-thats-a-damn-lie-and-you-know-it-gif-7563099348111511780

[primal stag]

That is the problem, on paper it's great but there are major problems with how it's being ran

[near bloom]

Seen a lot of similar feedback.

[civic geyser]

Don’t think you’re be the only one we don’t look like we be anywhere near

[near bloom]

People have heard and passed on, as ever no promises.

[spiral saddle]

The Saris Event Store closes in 2 days. Will it return?

[low canyon]

You know I ignore them 🤣

[near bloom]

Can’t even see mine, stop moaning 😂

[silver parcel]

it will be back on the 21st for the next run of invasions

[slim sierra]

don't post screenshots to get around Automod, please -- it's the attempt to say the f-word without saying it... I think automod has most variations. LOL

[warm osprey]

People also passed on... from the game. One alliance on my server lost 4-6 people in one day because of the new arc and it's mechanics

[slim sierra]

Automod dreams of one day becoming a Terminator when it grows up... so it's learning and evolving.

[dull mason]

They were trying to post FKR LoL

[warm osprey]

Couple in mine also voiced heavy frustrations that you're basically sidelined from the new content unless you buy the ship

[slim sierra]

Nope, it lets that one

I can see the automod log

[low canyon]

Sorry but I cannot remember how to say or spell the fatty grey ships, so I initialized the name

[dull mason]

They Missed the r LoL

[heady moon]

https://tenor.com/view/terminator-2-judgement-day-gif-10161030357565038980

[warm osprey]

Because they missed the R in FKR, so a typo

[slim sierra]

Yeah I get it. Tbh, some of the things the Automod catches are a little excessive.

[warm osprey]

Or that

[slim sierra]

Luckily, Automod doesn't punish. It just won't allow it to post.

[silver parcel]

Oh i know the joys of typos with auto mod

[slim sierra]

It catches some really hilarious things. We should do a funniest bloopers of Automod channel without the names.

But it does do a lot of valuable work too.

[low canyon]

Automod is fine, I realise it is needed, just wish it had an edit option and not just a delete option

[near bloom]

A little?!

[near bloom]

Imagine how badly you could have typed “we have bigger problems” and then hand punishments to Mee6.

[vapid fern]

https://tenor.com/view/closing-door-slam-shut-funny-gif-11895684

[near bloom]

Poor guy copped an insta-ban

[slim sierra]

oh I think he earned that ban

Look how definitive she is about locking the door

🤣

That poor picture, though!

[civic geyser]

Not sure showing domestic abuse is good 😛

[near bloom]

Oh yeah, there was no disputing that the ban for what he typed was very much earned. He just didn’t mean it 🤣

[grizzled lintel]

where are all those wave fanactis to join mine, cant find 5 people on entire server willing to do that fail content ...

[slim sierra]

Please provide your feedback in constructive, non-insulting ways. Thank you.

[silver parcel]

Nlot saying much but the first milestone on this syndicate event is a lot more mangable compared to the previous quantums.

Honestly surprised they didn't throw quantums at us again

/knocks on wood

probably will later

[near bloom]

I can send you a 25k Talla

[heady moon]

[near bloom]

https://tenor.com/view/take-it-or-leave-it-take-it-leave-it-snap-oh-snap-gif-13894922

Probably because you upset automod

[mystic gust]

💩

[near bloom]

Here, let me demonstrate.

[golden marten]

@heady moon there’s a lot of event feedback that’s not been responded to. Is anyone looking at this please?

[near bloom]

See, straight in automod dumpster

[grizzled lintel]

30 mins waiting on 5 ppl on entire server to do one wave...... great content .

[near bloom]

Now, see if you use your big boy or girl words:

“Hey Scopely, I’m not a huge fan of these events - I dislike these things about it and the mechanisms needed to score are overly complicated”

[mystic gust]

Yeah. Seems even the mods are obsolete now. Just delete this whole Discord already. Game will be dead anyway soon if this way of "Quality improvement" continues.

[near bloom]

See, it stays!

[slim sierra]

Ok, so that was phrased in a fair, non-insulting way. Ergo, it won't be deleted.

[near bloom]

Mods aren’t obsolete because they still have to deal with children desperate to act in a certain way.

[slim sierra]

I don't mind being obsolete. It means someone can finally unshackle my ankle from this chair in Scopely's basement.

[livid shell]

Who you calling children ?

[tepid lotus]

I've found that unless you're in an alliance that likes doing them, it's pretty tough getting full waves outside of a wave battlepass.

[solemn plaza]

People been saying this game will be dead soon since 2019.....and yet here we all are...still....

[low canyon]

Mods have kkndergatden experience, surely

[mystic gust]

If anyone would kindly tell or forward the programmers to improve the game by quitting their jobs. Yeah. That'd be nice.

[slim sierra]

some of us do.... maybe not all 🤣

[tepid lotus]

Who you calling children, kid?

[low canyon]

Then they will get it... On the job training

[grizzled lintel]

its dead bud trust me, majority ppl here just trolling lol

[mystic gust]

What was it that happened in Saw? Cut it off?

[livid shell]

They’ll add ops80 and bring in new ships just as everyone thinks the game is complete .

[warm osprey]

Tbh that's more on them for not merging you or your entire server hating waves (unlikely).. I don't think this is representative

[old jackal]

So with my bortas 1 mil power at ops 31 I got the missions done

[grizzled lintel]

we had one merge before , didnt help longterm

[near bloom]

Yes, as no devs at all will dramatically improve output. It’s well documented that having nobody to deliver anything delivers much better results than insufficient people to deliver things.

[proper jackal]

Stop making each other quit then

[old jackal]

I used scotey and grush

[livid shell]

This opens at ops 35? I don’t remember.

[solemn plaza]

Yeah...anytime anyone says "Trust me".....causes an immediate lack of trust...

[warm osprey]

Yep

[grizzled lintel]

i dont think we make each other quit ..... scopley cough

[proper jackal]

Idk man, I had this same debate with one of the lads who quit on our server the other day. The game model hasn't changed and you should've been aware what you was starting

[old jackal]

I got it some how

[shy hamlet]

you can do the mission early but the loop is still ops 35+

[warm osprey]

You don't, the event store you showed is empty. You'll see stuff there at 35

[livid shell]

I suppose you’d just have to ops it now.

[grizzled lintel]

lets try again then, been playing 5 years, this cash grabbing app has nothing to do with how it was back when i started , and it keep getting worse .

[old jackal]

I still unlocked it

[proper jackal]

But like... going back 5 years you'd get less for your money than you do now

[sharp owl]

@heady moon quantum events were supposed to be harder than heroic events, but here we are with a heroic syndicate with quantum milestones. What’s up with that?

[proper jackal]

If you started fresh 5 years ago, spent 10k. You'd get nowhere as near as far as you would now

[near bloom]

Feedback wasn’t positive so it was rebranded 😬

[grizzled lintel]

max chen for couple K lat compared to half a mil at least you need now.... dont think so...

just one example .

[solemn plaza]

That has nothing to do with it "being dead"....the game isnt dead and its nowhere near dying.

[proper jackal]

Lat that's free in game?

[dull mason]

Congratulations 👏
Ship's stuck in Warp 🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️

[near bloom]

We don’t talk about that.

Jesus wept, I can’t even get T2 Chen 🤣

[grizzled lintel]

ok seems i woke the wrong kind of fanatics, i needed wave fanatics not scopley ones.

[proper jackal]

Im not a fanatic. But complaining about it being a "cash grab" when... it's always been a cash grab I'd futile

[solemn plaza]

If the games dead and just a cash grab why you still playing?

[grizzled lintel]

wanna bet this app wouldnt last more then 24 hours on steam ?

[near bloom]

Scopely fanatic reporting for duty

[livid shell]

Because it’s easy to waste time and watch shiny ships

[near bloom]

Time to start a new account

[livid shell]

But some says they want to feel powerful so they play

[dull mason]

Time to delete that one..

[solemn plaza]

Ok...still has nothing to do with the game being dead lmao.

[grizzled lintel]

atm im playing because of the community we created and its the only thing thats keep me going, not scopley or new content or any shiny ship they implement .

[near bloom]

@heady moon Barny wants his account deleting

[grizzled lintel]

it has but me trying to explain you to that would make your brain spin for a week, so will keep you out of that pain.

[dull mason]

No way bub

[wheat pendant]

A heroic syndicate event requiring 90k syndicate xp in 2 days? Thought heroic was the one that was supposed to be doable

[dull mason]

Syndicate event is cash only..

[silver parcel]

it is.... lol

[solemn plaza]

The game has a relatively healthy community on Mobile and its own PC launcher.....why does it need steam....oh wait it doesn't. And just because it's not on steam doesn't mean that it's a "dead game".

[silver parcel]

well the heroic first milestone is supposed to be doable if you plan right

the quantums were mostly pay only

[warm osprey]

Mine has 4.5M as the max milestone, I think that's the same as the last quantum one was

[silver parcel]

It's slightly more than the last quantum

[wheat pendant]

I have all the pulls for event start, yet i could get a max of 60-70k syn xp if i calculted right

Nowhere near enough for this first milestone

[grizzled lintel]

on steam you wouldnt be able to implement a product that would be negated with another product in 3 months time, in healthy industry thats called scam and yes stfc would be repored and removed from steam, and they dont need that kind of rep there.

[silver parcel]

i said usual heroics

[main quartz]

Looks like the events today are squarely in the swipe to play bucket.

[pliant cipher]

Man this arc blows

[kind axle]

The current "Heroic" Syndicate Advancement has the same milestones as the last "Quantum" iirc

[median sable]

<@&509690795536941056> These need better identification. There is nothing when zoomed out which is how most play.
Also, some notification and information on them would have been nice.

[silver parcel]

Slightly higher milestones

[heady moon]

Good question. Will ask.

[half shell]

So to hit the first milestone you need to earn 45k actual cyndicate xp a day

[wheat pendant]

Think you need to ask the devs why they cant even go 2 days without screwing up some event at this rate….. yesterdays shambles and now todays “heroic” which is actually quantum syn xp

[warm osprey]

Unless you time your pulls to get 3, then it goes down to 30k

[dull mason]

Syndicate event
Should be Called

👉🏼 Heroic Waste of time...

[dense raptor]

Any word on fixing the protectors mining?

[fathom flower]

Best thing we can all do tbh, pop a 30 day shield and come back next month. I agreed to give it a chance. I did it's bad overall. I sent my initial thoughts to hammy already, they have gone down from there. Had to send em directly for catching a mute for speaking gaelic, which I didn't curse in

[boreal oasis]

30 costs $$$

[solemn plaza]

You offering to buy everyone the $100 30day shield packs?

[fathom flower]

Nope but 7 days are free, so log in once a week

[half shell]

I'd have to do some mathing but gut feel, not doable without $$$

[primal stag]

Personally, I don't think the first milestone should be that high on the quantum. I think it should be attainable F2P but still being hard to do. Such as needing maxed Mantis, maxed Stone of Memory, s31 pull, and a lvl or 2 from the MU research

[warm osprey]

Probably not without primes and wave XP

[sturdy umbra]

I've got all those things, short the "maxed stone". I will not hit it

At least all the f2p sources. My mile stone is like half a million

451k in 2 days, lol.

[half shell]

I'm gonna "choose" to not do the cyndicate event

[abstract fiber]

Ummm, @heady moon where are the sub events for players below ops 40? We had ONE this week. If they're not "supporting" sub 40 players anymore, just upgrade all of our stuff to 40, and stop with this BS...

[sturdy umbra]

That's legit an entire level

[main quartz]

I think we were reasonably content withe getting milestone 1 just playing the refinery, and stretch to 2 by being strategic. But Scopely had to go and ruin that with either greed or incompetence.

[near bloom]

https://tenor.com/view/dinosandcomics-im-in-this-photo-i-like-it-im-in-this-photo-and-i-like-it-dino-gif-19592145

[half shell]

Lmfao in game calendar. A bit sparce eh?

[primal stag]

That's the problem, I fully believe you should be able to hit the first milestone but all the "quantum" events are set up in a way that all those researches are primes

[mint trellis]

its trash

[near bloom]

I’m Ops 17 and if I don’t have an unattainable mining objective I have an excruciating hostile event, and none of the above are in any way related to the arc.

[half shell]

Quantum, heroic, how many Battle passes this month? 2 arc, 2 mini, wave, ts. SIX battle passes. Just turn me upside down and shake the money out

[primal stag]

This might be the first time I've actually taken more than 2 seconds to look at it, very disappointing that the 2 weeks between arcs feels like more content

[abstract fiber]

Or give them the middle finger by telling them to go to hell with your wallet. Don't buy jack.

[dusky cove]

@queen jolt @heady moon is there any update on the IMS mess please? With all due respect but this design choice seems a terrible idea which is just frustrating people....

[half shell]

I get the 20 buck pass sometimes, but it feels like the amount of paywalls is increasing exponentially

[crude phoenix]

last day entering and no action on ims still

[near bloom]

Being discussed today I believe, but I would anticipate any remedy to be done after the event if indeed it is done.

I believe they have form for making good after the fact but don’t quote me - I think they’ve also left people high and dry before too 🙈

[oak basin]

because it is

[dusky cove]

Which is downright absurd, from the outset is was clear that it wouldn't be possible for many servers. It really feels like scopely is intentionally shooting themselves in the feet.....

[dull mason]

I've never Shielded This long and done something else for such a long time...
I'm wondering what I could do with This Heroic Time 🤣👍

[near bloom]

I’ve been shielded for days 😂

[abstract fiber]

The game is all about paywalls at this point... Paid forbidden tech, paid rare officers (not just epic), paid projectiles, paid ship skins... Pretty much everything paid unless you're ok with progressing slowly because it takes forever to unlock specialty ships and dependent researches, etc.

[primal stag]

I'm sure it'll be edited for the next time it's ran, hopefully I won't need to be blessed by RNG gods to get more than 1 start

[hot dove]

Use the time to upgrade your ops to 40. You been in the 30s for over 2 years now 😂

[serene prism]

Can someone help me contack someone in my Alliance please and thank you. My game has crashed & even after uninstalling/reinstallling the game 6 times; I still can't get into the game. My Alliance is called "EPIC" But I son't have thier discord chat address.

[near bloom]

2 years plus VAT 😂

[flint ruin]

What’s up with these new blueprint cooldowns…there’s like one for 4 hours, then one for 16 hours…I get trying to goose the daily interaction numbers but…surely there’s a less annoying way, lol…

[flint ruin]

It has always been that way. Progress slow - and it gets exponentially slower, the higher you go - or pay.

[half shell]

Speaking of blueprints am I really gonna have to click this 200 times?

[glossy saddle]

Yes, because Scopely is completely clueless about the most obvious things.

[dull mason]

My L36 update has been cooking for awhile now, It has 6 days left..
I'm not going to do anything that'll compromise the Spend event in a few days

[primal stag]

And apparently wait multiple hours between clicks

[abstract fiber]

It's definitely far worse since G6 dropped

[dull mason]

In should have a multiply Slider...

[trail pier]

scopely should invest heavily in companies that sell screen protectors, and mice.... as all the people clicking all those chests gunna be wearing theres out

[mystic gust]

"Why is syndicate now that hard?"
"Why are there no new events?"
"Why are there even more loops/ships/primes instead of making the other stuff easier to complete and giving players the Quality they deserve?"

[slow mica]

Better start clicking away lol

[half shell]

I don't even know if we're gonna end up with 250k store currency,

[mystic gust]

Programming buttons costs money.

[slow mica]

You won’t

[dull mason]

👉🏼 Cash only events

[crude phoenix]

no new events today ?

[slow mica]

It’s scopely …they will never give you enough lol

[half shell]

Ultimate shlljz said were gonna be swimming in event store loot. Guess he either lied again or just clueless as usual

[oak basin]

see, if they're honest about the game, scopely won't give them free stuff

[mystic gust]

Oh right. Forgot that one:
"Why are there more cash only Events than events every player can participate in nowadays?"

[small pike]

Trouver la mission espace sombre

[oak basin]

y'all also forgot that they're now testing the waters on officers that require you to have purchased specific stuff for their abilities to work

so we can expect to see more of that in the future, even though no one except whales will actually want it to be like that

[gaunt aspen]

Yes with cooldowns in between

[old jackal]

Boo they won't let me get We Are People Too

[near bloom]

I guess you’re not people after all

[acoustic orbit]

My cooldown was 22 hours

[old jackal]

At least let me spend my crap

[acoustic orbit]

He’s a scopely shill and a sellout

[oak basin]

apparently the cooldowns are 'per bp'

which is weird becuase nothing else in the game has ever been done that way

they're probably hoping to trick people into getting less bp's than they've actually got the ability to buy

[warm nest]

does the talios 15 minute loot exo work on regular armadas?

[half shell]

So each bp pull has a 22 hour cooldown? 🤣 forget this garbage

[oak basin]

12hr i think

max of 12 a day

something like that

[mystic gust]

🕳️y💩🕳️ (just testing the new censorship bot)

[oak basin]

or maybe it's 22 and i'm confusing the bp's with the timer

def 12 a day tho

[acoustic orbit]

It’s a Paramount money grab… paramount is Scopely’s daddy… why I cancelled my paramount+ subscription

[half shell]

How do you pull 12 bps on a 12 hour cool down? I'm not adept at bending time and space

[acoustic orbit]

Cooldown starts once you hit 12

[half shell]

So I should just pull em and hope I end up with the full 250k loot for an unlock 🤦‍♂️

[mystic gust]

On the contrary. There was a Hirogen hunt event where you could participate and earn some currency. When you tried to spend all the currency at once there was suddenly a cooldown. Nice one. Still having that 💩 lying around in my inventory. Together with so much other useless stuff.

[half shell]

Oh my gawd they can't even make an event store that works without being a pain in the @$$

[acoustic orbit]

Pull what you want, word is this is going to end up like the borg event and be a monthly thing

[half shell]

Who's word

[acoustic orbit]

Another SLOW trickle of BPs

[acoustic orbit]

@gilded finch

[solemn plaza]

It's faster than other ships.

[crude phoenix]

must be the lightest arc iun terms of events.. nothing else on thursday then old events ?

[acoustic orbit]

Seeing as they haven’t released a path for free sourcing yet and that there is no relevant Store, Faction, Refinery… I’m inclined to believe that it will be a monthly event…

[crude phoenix]

with never enough armada pulls with the stupid pull

[primal stag]

We're assuming that it won't be shelved after this month due to it being purely for the crossover

[quasi ember]

is there a place i can find all the redeem codes? thanks

[crude phoenix]

then those faction favors would have been for nothing

[primal stag]

Only time will tell, I imagine that if it does go beyond this crossover, it'll be reskined to be Klingon only or something of the sort

[tepid lotus]

It looks like the invasion will be repeating, since FKR favors need the galactic acclaim from it, and the new ship's BP's are in that store as well. So that's the long term F2P path. I would expect the ship to be orphaned though contentwise, similar to the Defiant, Voyager, etc.

[paper swallow]

Or different crossover each month 😜

[primal stag]

Hopefully we'll get another source for the favors in the future, id hate to see the cost for level 5 let alone 15 if it takes 50k of the event currency for level 1

[crude phoenix]

the only source for that stuff is the armadas with their shady sourcing wich is really bad.

[tepid lotus]

Yeah, you're going to be forced to buy the packs to get enough directives to run those to get enough loot to do anything with.

ie. I'm not expecting to get those new FKR favors.

[primal stag]

I was meaning in like 6 months the new loop at that time we might be able to get those favors

[daring grove]

Yep total rubbish, engage with new content win rewards but ah guess what NO NO NO you cant spend them.

[old sandal]

How do you get the mission Mirror Independent Space Unlock?

[tepid lotus]

1. You buy the Protector

2. You buy the packs

[half shell]

Stfc.space says from a bundle claim, my guess is mid month patch

[tepid lotus]

3. You do the MU research to get to that point.

[dusky cove]

The good news.....we're at 38,09 million on the IMS, bad news is the top MS is 74,58 million...

[half shell]

Scratch that chicken lord was right

[tepid lotus]

Yeah, my server is at 17.16M out of 38.66M. Not going to get that in 22hrs

[old sandal]

Got it.. thanks

[tepid lotus]

Re. the warp lane, it lets you get to the northern part of deep Mirror space faster. Not sure how worthwhile it is.

I guess there's trellium-d nodes up there.

But it's a similar number of jumps down south ways. You don't need the gold rift doohickeys on the north path though.

[vapid ferry]

SyndicateXP event is back to "heroic" but .. still need 90,240 to get tier 1. Yeah. Thank you Scopley! -_-

[tepid lotus]

I maxed out the common mining research and my selkies mine like crazy. Blows away a tier 2 protector at least.

[dusky cove]

lovely when the event store currency from an event is nearly completely outside of your contro isn't it :(?

[tepid lotus]

Ever since they went quantum on the syndicate stuff, I haven't bothered looking at it. Never can get to even the first tier cashing in everything.

[tepid lotus]

Even better when they pretty much kill any F2P path to enjoy the new content from the get go.

[tepid lotus]

Mine says 451.2k at ops 61 though.

[half shell]

He means raw xp

[slow rock]

I think I'm getting an idea on where the glitches are coming from and it has to do with a little bit on incursion

Has to do with communication copying error between AIS or ai and breeding say you're the teacher you give a message on one end of the chain and the child gives it to another and then you go to the other end of your message is not the same as what you had before because of copying air

[vapid ferry]

Take that, divide by 5. Easier to see how much XP you need then. Still unattainable.

[slow rock]

It's like copying on a copying machine a copy of a copy makes it worse copy

[tepid lotus]

Ah, gotcha.

[half shell]

Yeah it's really disappointing that they took even the first cyndicate milestone away from f2p

[slow rock]

To AI growing independent of each other will have conflicting data so when you merge servers on incursion you have horrible glitches and you're having glitches because you're adding new information

[tepid lotus]

Yeah, pure greed.

They should at least have the first tier be attainable by F2P.

[slow rock]

Let's just my theory LOL

[half shell]

Giving 6 epic and 2 rare shards to f2p will break the economy-
Scopely probably

[primal stag]

I wanna know which whales are spending money on the chimera start packs, $100 for 8 starts is pathetic at best

[crude phoenix]

look for the big scores in the slbs

:p

f2p u can run 2-3 madas ?

2 max

3 is with bp

[half shell]

I'm at 2.5 atm

Enough for the sms not Enough for the slb 😃

[civic geyser]

lol I bought bp and have only been able to run 2

[slow rock]

Hey I don't grow independently anymore they have outside influences from programmers and other AIS and we're starting to understand that there is something we call AI in breeding to the wrong code continues forward and a copy of a copy degradates the AI is intelligence

[tepid lotus]

Same so far

[iron steeple]

Absolutely not. I'm not spending for the server to win. I spend for my power. I participate for the server.

[crude phoenix]

2 x full full and bp would be 3.. but alas got 50 on both pulls

[slow rock]

I think most people are LOL

[crude phoenix]

think scopely thought we would be buying m,ass packs for that ims

[slow rock]

The amount of people you're competing against and the size of some of them makes it where these ladder events you don't even get to the top tier unless you're at the top tier

[iron steeple]

Yeah...nope

[slow rock]

This is why I don't really like ladder events I don't really have any chance of winning

[crude phoenix]

if u like to win f2p dont play a p2w game 😉

[iron steeple]

If anyone has money to burn like that, I'd like to fill my savings account with your money. Please and Thank You. 😅

[primal stag]

Same

[slow rock]

Well it's the old saying the only one that wins is Vegas

[crude phoenix]

ppl seop 10k a day easily.. but not on these silly packs i guess

[half shell]

10k is xsolla daily spend limit

[slow rock]

Basically you got to be a smarter shopper buy quality not quantity

Do you want to have fun pay for it and if you want to make money work for Vegas

[half shell]

May be able to get around it by special request

[pastel moth]

Try 1 from pulls plus bp

[civic geyser]

Can’t see 184 doing this 🤣

[lunar dew]

And I’m not going to do anything in here

[half shell]

That's what happens when you can't excel and you don't play the game

We get unachievable milestones

[tepid lotus]

We could have completed it easily if we had a 3 millon last milestone like the other servers that finished it in an hour or two on day 1.

[civic geyser]

When this happens it kinda puts you off even trying some of the events

[half shell]

You gotta have events first

[near bloom]

You guys have events?

[half shell]

Why would an arc have events that's crazy talk

[civic geyser]

Yeah pin the tail on the donkey 🫏

[near bloom]

Pin the tail on the hammy?

[lethal meteor]

What are events?

[slow rock]

AI are children they will go to school and they will come back with viruses and share them with each other lol

[tepid lotus]

What, don't you want giving and generous children?

[slow rock]

Lol

Maybe we need to teach her to wipe the AI child's nose more 😂

[tepid lotus]

On the other hand, if the first thing do with a runny nose is go up to and wipe their nose on you, you just might be raising a psychopath.

[slow rock]

Well psychopath would be an improved in some of them are above diligence still have the computer fall on their brain

If we have a dysfunctional child they'll probably grow up to become skynet 😂

Saras invasion store will it end in 1 day or there will be another saras invasion store

[late pawn]

It ends, and have to wait til next month to be able to get more BPs for new ship.

[near bloom]

I believe so, I am very upset that I can’t trigger the easily triggered any more 😂

[heady moon]

It will be coming back later this month.

[late pawn]

It sure feels like a "store" that should be a refinery.

[dusky cove]

I'm really curious if any server with that top MS has actually finished it

[near bloom]

They’ve been less successful selling packs for the refinery 😬

[near bloom]

Let me ask.

[late pawn]

Let the creative team know that making 30 different wants to get BPs/use ships, etc.. Doesn't make the game more engaging or complex. It just makes things more annoying. Please.

[near bloom]

I thought the number 1 requested feature was to make the pips less annoying?

You all thought that meant making the pips less annoying.

[dusky cove]

you know you can talk to the creative team directly, right?

[near bloom]

They went the other way and made something more annoying than the pips 😬🤣

[late pawn]

Add more PIPs is the answer.

[near bloom]

Evil genius if you ask me.

[late pawn]

If it involves messaging outside of Discord, not going to happen.

[dusky cove]

You just need to go to https://chatgpt.com/

[near bloom]

Are you Dutch?

The Dutch have an interesting sense of humour, that many other folks struggle with.

A few times chatting with some friends from that way and they’re in proper belly laughs and I’m just like… OK 😬

Then other times I’m clearly incredibly funny and they give their best Bek impression:

What for? 👀

[twilit lintel]

@dull mason

[late pawn]

I'm in the American part of the United States.

[dusky cove]

Thanks for trying though I feel that is actually an answer to the question 🙂

[near bloom]

It isn’t, it’s that the people I speak to are not around; official channels only and as you can see, I do not have those any more.

[mystic geyser]

<@&509690795536941056> had a dm going with @heady moon but cant reply now.

If scopely is gonna focus 40+.... remove the g4 ascension so we can get there! This is BS that people want to do the events and $copely wont let us!

[paper blaze]

@near bloom not scoring in RLB despite killing chimeras

Score was erased

[late pawn]

Yeah, the only real argument against the 40+ stuff is that not all servers can get to 40+ ... It makes sense to release 40+ content. It's never made sense to hold entire servers back. Horrible game design.

[near bloom]

It is and it isn’t. Going past 39 is self defeating for whales, but also the G4 stuff is waaaay big for muggles to fight back

[late pawn]

It doesn't make sense to gate everyone. Unless those servers get their own content or something. It's just poorly planned and badly thought out design.

[fluid shore]

Not getting the chest during partial chimera defeat because PvE limit was reached before

[near bloom]

Ouch.

[late pawn]

PvE Limit is another poorly thought out idea to 'prevent' people automating kills.

[near bloom]

I think it’s a problem that needs a better solution for sure cos it ain’t getting any easier.

[late pawn]

And then Scopely themselves release content that is intended to be automated kills.

[fluid shore]

Doesn't matter if it counted as armada loot albeit not being an armada, i.e. exempt from pve limit

[late pawn]

I just think they should consider hiring people that have designed actual games before. But probably don't want to spend the budget on it.

I sadly can't get that one..🤦🏼‍♂️

[crisp kernel]

uhm.... they announced a comp chest with dominion salvage but gave us the eye patches ???

Mate, you didn't listen. Torres ups your punching power in the officer spot, you need to up your damage for only 10 rounds - not mitigate.

[mental gull]

maye

[sterile fox]

So then why bother asking for advice or help?

[mental gull]

good question

i did say nm

[sterile fox]

Assumed that was in response to the sarcastic 'nm' message that followed.

[minor furnace]

Cheers on the prompt response before the event end.

[hot canyon]

Just reporting the comp chest had eye-patches, not dominion salvage

[minor furnace]

All I wanted was 100 directives back that didn't score.

A little extra.. don't mind

[warm shuttle]

There's too many currencies, the intern didn't learn all new ones yet, ok?

[hot canyon]

Yeah the directives were good.

[dusky cove]

Bit frustrating it's nearly weeked and CM seem to be ignoring all questions regarding the IMS......

[jade narwhal]

I just wish there was more chimera starts. I was really unlucky and it was only able to get one. 😵‍💫

[heady moon]

Raised this yesterday.

[heady moon]

Not ignoring. I'm working on stuff. I'm passing on the sentiment regarding the IMS and RLB.

[dusky cove]

Ah cheers, I hadn't seen any comment on it by any CM/mods and well....getting kind of antsy with both the end of the event and the weekend approaching. I don't have the best experience unlocking specialty ships/officers if you miss any BP/shard early on 😟

[mystic geyser]

I love this game. Much to wifes dismay, i hafe no problem over spending on it. But all my money is going into Raid now cause there is nothing worth buying in stfc since i cant grow. Buildings maxed. Research almost completely maxed. Ships maxed. Would love to see aTal in store but QQ i doubt that will happen. Litterally no reason to sp3nd money on this game anymore since i cant do anything to grow. I would normally get bored and just start over but i got super lucky with the NX chios and such and dont want to give up the officers i got this time.

[heavy idol]

@heady moon any chance you could ask the team to add an option for buying more than 1 protector print at a time in the event store?

[burnt briar]

yea i just got 12 bps for the protector and now im faced w/ a 22hr cool down lol

[civic geyser]

Hopefully he’s bring up the mining speed on Protector being awful

[heady moon]

I've been raising this with the team...

[near bloom]

How about no events for the poor?

[fluid shore]

Paid-only events

Oh we already have that

[heavy idol]

How about no discord rights for non-players

[burnt briar]

they'd still be busted

[near bloom]

Seems harsh

[civic geyser]

Get gud then

[heavy idol]

😘

[burnt briar]

to be 100 tho who got 2x comp chests up in here or was that a playable glitch only i experienced lol

[jade narwhal]

Can we start a petition to remove the cool down for the scrap refinery @heady moon

[steep aspen]

its the scopely uncertainty principle, you can't both have events to earn currency and a store to spend that currency at the same time

[jade narwhal]

Cuz if we didn't have a cooldown for the scrap refinery I think a lot of people would be more happy with this feature

Even a 12-hour cooldown would be better than the 22-hour one

[near bloom]

I won an SLB today

[jade narwhal]

Lol

[dusky cove]

is it that bad? I thought it beat G5 miners around T7 or so?

[civic geyser]

T1 was 32k hr not sure on g5 as only just ops40

[flat knoll]

its bad T2 nova does 300k/h and T2 protector is 90k on D19 nodes

[mystic geyser]

@heady moon ill stop bugging about ascension. Just dropped my review down to a 1 star over it. I cant think of any other game i have played where devs intentionally hinder people from growing.

[fathom flower]

We just need to start a petition to scrap the GQ arc entirely. Maybe a petition for them to fix the bugs instead of adding more with every new arc

[limber latch]

Where can I find the compensation chest

[timber valve]

Question because I pressed that chest way too fast and didn't see the rewards. Was it 15,000 salvage in it?

[bleak bolt]

Worse. Arc. Ever.

*so far

[fathom flower]

No salvage

[icy lion]

“(Also, I would like to mention that Chimeras are not armadas so armada crews will not be effective against them.) “

[nova bear]

It literally said it on the Chimera.

[slim smelt]

hammy what about all the poeple that cant aford all this spending guess we all get crapped on but scooply till we all leave the game

[bitter imp]

@heady moon it did not include Dominion salvage as your post said it would my friend

[slim smelt]

😔

[fathom flower]

Yep

[icy lion]

Who really reads haha

[nova bear]

@heady moon Is this a second comp chest?

[fathom flower]

There was 2 neither included dominion salvage though both announcements stated dominion salvage

[limber latch]

Guys where's the comp chest at

[burnt briar]

ikr eye patches lol

[drowsy cypress]

That's pretty weird phrasing though, Armada specific buffs do not apply to Invasion Commanders... so 1, what's an Invasion Commander? 2) What counts as Armada specific? Because some work and some don't

[timber valve]

I'm still irked at the 5 ship BP limit per day with those.

[fathom flower]

What's funny when you start a chimera it talks about you not being in the armada till your ship gets rhere

[slim smelt]

😂

[fathom flower]

So there is something else scopely botched. If it's not an armada, why does it state my ship is not in the armada?

[drowsy cypress]

They are coded as Armadas, because while 'Armada specific' buffs don't work, Armada non-specific ones do. If it says "Non-play Hostiles and Armadas" it works

[abstract fiber]

So @heady moon where are the events for sub 40 players, or are you giving us free upgrades to level 40, just like the free Borg cube?

[heady moon]

pinged you.

[burnt briar]

mine had eye patches also

[timber valve]

https://tenor.com/view/one-please-gif-24267172

[heady moon]

Yup! That's the chest we sent out.

[barren fern]

@heady moon If the chimichangas are not armadas, why do “non-armada” officer abilities not work?

[burnt briar]

it says sarris in the announcement tho

[civic geyser]

Oh how do you get the GQ icon

[fathom flower]

So if it has eye patches, why get our hopes up with telling us it's something of actual value like dominion salvage?

[heady moon]

Whoops! Right!

I did not look closely when I opened the comp chest but it did not contain the 15000 salvage for sure

[fallen cradle]

(Also, I would like to mention that Chimeras are not armadas so armada crews will not be effective against them.)

Then what? Solo armadas? Hostiles? Inverted polaron beams?

[near bloom]

Poor Hammy

Be nice

[heady moon]

Nope. That's on me. It had eye patches. Sorry for the confusion.

[fathom flower]

Good ole scopely. Break it, not really fix it, send out a comp chest thats not actually what we were told we were getting, and their way of fixing it. Change the narrative

[fallen cradle]

Would be handy to know before possibly burning the already scarce tokens 😐

[burnt briar]

we deserve recompense for the compensation failure

[grim nimbus]

you resending then? I already claimed mine

[near bloom]

Yeah, for all players! 😬

[narrow ledge]

Just use 5, khan, lorca

[arctic river]

Thank you @heady moon for the compensation. My alliance is pretty happy.

No. There are only eye patches. No salvage. I made an oopsie.

If things were properly tested with real QC we would get 3 arcs a yr that would actually work

Crews stating, just hostiles
Or just armadas don't work.
But if crew has hostiles and armadas

Hostiles or armadas in description they work.

There’s a joke in there somewhere worthy of a ban.

[burnt briar]

https://tenor.com/view/quail-roast-gif-5389843

[fathom flower]

So the point of doing the armadas is for dominion salvage right?

[honest gazelle]

@heady moon hey Hammy are you supposed to get battle log for an attack on chimera? I attacked one no log or anything just lost the 100 particles

[burnt briar]

this is facts

[fathom flower]

So scopely botched the armada event

[near bloom]

I just hope this is a one time mixup, for your sake you don’t want to be strapping salvage to your face and trying to drive an eye patch.

[burnt briar]

facts

[gray lintel]

Blt works below deck but not as an officer lol

[fathom flower]

And instead of fixing it they just want people to run more of them so replace the starts cool

[heady moon]

You're not seeing battle logs from your Chimera battles?

[fathom flower]

No problem with that

[heady moon]

What's going on with the armada event?

[gray lintel]

Even borg queen and dezoc work below deck

[near bloom]

There’s an armada event?

Oh wait, I don’t even have ACC.

🫠

[honest gazelle]

No log or anything the bar went down on the chimera and I lost the particles that’s it

[fathom flower]

But the whole point of running the armadas scopely botched was for the dominion salvage so the compensation chest should have been dominion salvage and the starts not eye patches

[warm pivot]

i m asking myself how my rbl bracket is able to reach nearly 1B damage per round when i cant even loook for their ops level due to server "retrieving"

Thanks @heady moon for the comp chest.

[fathom flower]

Oh you mean other than not properly counting the damage dealt, and not counting the 2 I did when it first started so I ended up starting at 0 again so the only way to actually compete would be to spend money I'm not gonna spend to catch up? Absolutely nothing

[gray lintel]

Go ask the server that started 5 years b4 you did

[fathom flower]

And the comp chest is different than we were told it was gonna be, so you know no problems at all

[oak basin]

mine was exactly what they said it'd be

[iron steeple]

https://tenor.com/view/passive-aggressive-gif-18885121

[gray lintel]

Good idea might be to have the hostile sms run every day of the event, and refine not disappear between events so people can you know stockpile directives between events, maybe put the refine in the refinery tab

[mystic geyser]

What kind of comp chests do we get for yet another "ascension required" event when we are not allowed to ascend?

[fathom flower]

Both chests were originally said to have dominion salvage, both had eye patches. So not entirely happy

[slim smelt]

love get the touches

😄

[latent belfry]

Well hello Cuimhnigh

[gray lintel]

Or like apex store be permanent to you know spend stuff with the cooldowns

[dusky cove]

Just a small idea OH but would it perhaps be useful to give enemies "tags" so we can more easily tell what type of enemies they are? Due to the directives necessary to fight chimera's people will assume they're armada mobs but those officers don't count. People may assume they're standard reds in that case but officers like hugh don't seem to work either. It seems like these are closest to mission bosses

with BLT, Nelix, E-troi etc belowdeck. Some officers like hugh don't work

Keep the 10 round limit in mind so buffs like defiant, ceritos etc. may help

[gray lintel]

Hugh doesn't work because he's noted as hostiles only.
But blt, Paris neelix etroi are all denoted as hostiles and armadas, or hostiles or armadas

Below deck only in officer slot they don't work lol

[dusky cove]

yeah the probllem is these aren't armadas so normally you'd assume these are hostiles but it seems they're neither so officers which work for all types seem best

[silver parcel]

Armada and hostiles do not work, non armada hostiles do not work, non player hostiles does work, opponents does work.

Mind posting the battle log? Normally you should have gotten a survivor chest

so make sure you check your items

[heady moon]

They are not armadas!

[prisma citrus]

@heady moon any updates on the invasion hostiles spawning everywhere? I really want to lock Rom by Saturday. I have only 1 billion rep to go and every system gets swamped with invaders.

they look like armadas

That's still being worked on

you would get a survival chest under item claims, that would be it

While they're 'different' it's not the case that they aren't Armadas, Armada effects do work on them, it's only 'Armada ONLY' effects that don't work

[arctic river]

No im sad

i didnt get anything omgggg

[dusky cove]

Hammy is right, while the countdown/directives would make you assume they're armadas when we look at which officers trigger I can assure you they're not classed as armadas

Her captain ability is not specified for any kind of opponent, she just works.

[arctic river]

I dont know yall- any officer that says hostiles or armadas or nonarmada hostiles will not work. Non player hostiles or opponents do work. So i was looking for ANY officer that had effects that were firing.

[drowsy cypress]

The basic rule I think is the abilities must work on an Armada to work, but it can't ONLY work on an Armada

[dusky cove]

her captain ability always works 🙂

she'll still work, just only when people shoot you

officer abilities that are for hostiles or armadas or nonarmada hostiles not working is so confusing- i wish they were just like "WILL WORK HERE ______" and i would not have to spend so much down time reading.

Pointing out your mistakes is not rudeness by default. Mistakes are opportunities to learn.

Rolled in a few ascension requests yesterday. 705 was on that list.

[tough vapor]

@heady moon I've got a question for you. Pls be honest, okay?
When it comes to forwarding player feedback to "the team" about new content or just the game in general, how much filter you put on things?

[heady moon]

Oh yeah. Those pop up a lot.

[fathom flower]

99% unless it's considered especially constructive. If you just say this sucks, without going well the concept is good but I feel if we did it like this instead it would work better for the players. It doesn't get passed on

[heady moon]

Bascially nothing that's purely negative or insulting ever gets passed on. But if peeps are giving me constructive feedback that is something I will take to the the team.

[little violet]

Any reason why we have 70x the milestones as other servers? @heady moon

[calm sequoia]

wonderful. What does that mean for us in terms of timeline? ascension next week? this month? next month?

[fathom ruin]

because they thought we could do tha last one lol

[carmine compass]

hmm... I think this is the filter

[little violet]

Are you in my ims?

[fathom ruin]

hmm let me look

[arctic river]

points and things are not counting now 😦

[fathom ruin]

no my ims is 40m away

[arctic river]

im so sad.

[tough vapor]

Not long ago I sent an idea to Pauly about a possible event store change. Did that ever come up in any meeting of yours?

[heady moon]

Hope to hear today or tomorrow. IF it happens, it would be this week or next.

[heady moon]

You'd have to check with him. The tricky thing is that one off requests can be difficult to implement.

[arctic river]

I just spent 12k salvage and my points didnt budge

[tough vapor]

So feedback from one person is not considered as feedback? Do I get it right?

[fathom flower]

Like if they doubled the points per kill in the IMS more people would be inclined to finish it

[drowsy cypress]

Is anyone's server near competing the event? We're only at 50%

[fiery sable]

@ GQ Hammy i am on section 31 server have been since i joined section 31

[fathom flower]

Instead of being required to kill 600 ships they would only have to kill 300

[little violet]

There are some who had 1m points to complete...

[misty blaze]

How about Scopely fixing all the buffer problems instead of adding more crap

[heady moon]

It is considered feedback that's passed on, but one off requests are trickier sometimes to get implemented. It does happen, just not everytime we raise something.

[drowsy cypress]

did it scale based on server? ours is 74.58 Million

[silver parcel]

12k salvage on what

[heady moon]

You're on S31?

[little violet]

Sounds like you're in my ims

I am on 31 yes

He is not on my server tho

[dusky cove]

If it's request time then I'd be REALLY happy if we got collect/refine presets like we have officer presets. With every arc added the amount of things we need to collect/refine/.... keeps increasing so being able to do presets with toggles would save us so much time we could do for loops.

[drowsy cypress]

Same target, but different server

[little violet]

I hit 2k 60's and barely moved ourbar

[silver parcel]

hey how about getting them to remove the cooldown on the new ship buy with currency as we wont aquire im geussing enough to buy the ship to quickly anyways. thats more pressing than g7 starting in december.

[tough vapor]

@heady moon this was the idea I mentioned. I asked you because I was curious if the topic was ever brought up. I thought you were all present on those meetings (might be wrong though)

[round cedar]

Is this even doable f2p? I'm not even getting the first milestone done anymore.

[little violet]

I think no. I think you have to have the elite chest to do it f2-

[drowsy cypress]

No, about 3 months ago they started to make the 1st tier unattainable

[covert ore]

hey

[solid kayak]

they expect you to pull every single point of syndicate and collect both free and paid track battlepass to get first milestone.

[little violet]

Lvl 60 system should be warp 500 like all the other lvl 60's

[round cedar]

Yeah, thought so. I'm getting Syndi XP from the Sec31 store like 10k, from the artefact, dailies, Mantis refinery, everything I can get and still so far away from milestone 1. 😂

[dusky cove]

we're at 45,89 mil so I don't see us reaching it either

[little violet]

It's actually ridiculous.. Milestone one should be easy to get... Here we are tho..

[drowsy cypress]

I think too they raised it when they added the Artifact and raised when they added the new waves pull etc... so basically yeah you need certain paid things to get there

[brave stag]

found one of Mr Tigers hidden gems

[drowsy cypress]

Scopely has a way of selling you stilts, then raising the wall you're trying to climb by 10 ft

[brave stag]

took 2 attempts

[round cedar]

Especially when you look at what you get with milestone 1... 😂

[heady moon]

I think Pauly did raise it in a thread, but eliminating event store currency would be tricky to do.

[tough vapor]

Do you have a short answer to: why?

[round cedar]

Stressful. 💆‍♂️

[tough vapor]

As I see it, you just create a universal "event store credit" and use that one going forward whenever you open the event store, instead of creating a new one for every time.

[silver parcel]

omg, finally got a lucky, was convinced they didn't exist after the new officers were added

[carmine compass]

🤣

[heady moon]

In a nutshell, every single event store that I've seen while working here has had a new event store currency. I don't just don't see us eliminating new event store currencies.

[little violet]

What is that from?>

[heady moon]

Loot goblin!

[little violet]

I want like 8 luckies on him

[little violet]

Where tho?

[brave stag]

mirror Inari

[brave stag]

yep got 147k loot from it

[little violet]

How much did he pay for that much damage...

[silver parcel]

kind of a weak loot goblin though

[tough vapor]

Yes, that's the core problem

[silver parcel]

needs more loot

[fathom flower]

Could we maybe get a refinery or something for the old currency so maybe I could turn in the old junk that just clutters up my inventory for some of the new currency? Could be a 5-1 kind of thing

[severe cliff]

Can someone explain why Earth is in Esothea?

[little violet]

I mean I can get 300k look for that much damage 🤣 147k seems very weak

Looks like the planet is called Esothea

Earth is in SOL

[brave stag]

look at the planet not the name

[carmine compass]

esothea accidentally copied earths geography on their test

[little violet]

I have the worst luck...

[round cedar]

I see Europe lul 😆

[heady moon]

I'd love to see this. Or even some exchange for old currency. But as things stand now, I don't think we'd get rid of new event store currency.

[hot canyon]

Read the odds closer. It's 75% to get shards at all. I got 0

[round cedar]

Didn't get a single voucher yet. 👀

[split quarry]

That was mine

[little violet]

I mean those new tokens are worth it

[fathom flower]

I mean it would make sense from a player stand point to unify all these currencies, but I know it would cut into profits even if it's .001% so they won't change to a unified currency. But giving players a way to trade the old in for the new would help with some of the bloat

[little violet]

Vouchers are useless to me

[carmine compass]

i accidentally wasted a chimera run... I started it when my ship was moving away :/

[round cedar]

Wouldn't say useless. You can save them and then get faction ships later and save credits

[silver parcel]

gives g5 epic at 59

[little violet]

Yeah am 57 right now

[silver parcel]

useless now, useful later

[little violet]

I already have the Ent d bps

I agree

You have G6 ships in there?

[silver parcel]

not at 62

[round cedar]

Always nice to have two of them 😆

[silver parcel]

still got the epics

[little violet]

I mean 63 is where you can build the Akira so nope

[tough vapor]

Is this a technical difficulty or more like the big bosses not wanting to see a decrease in selling? Don't get me wrong, I am truely curious.

You're getting Hammy into trouble with all those questions. They are watching him. 🙈

It fails to take into account how players would attempt to game the system for value. Players would hoard in bad officer months, and splurge in good ones to extract over a 1k worth of pack value. Why would Scopely do this when they can sell the packs instead?

Nor does it take into account those who've collected the ships already. Highly developed players have no need for most of the offerings and would hoard automatically. This again, cannibalizes pack sales.

By forcing you to spend what you earn in the month, they keep the market open.

[little violet]

Force is never a good thing.. Actually makes me not want to buy

[round cedar]

Couldn't you just set the currency to 0 every time the event store ends? No hoarding, no restovers

[carmine compass]

my accelerator things 😭

[tough vapor]

maybe try to approach the target before you start the timer

[humble orbit]

If you don't spend the currency, then it decays in value. That's fine for them too.

What advantage does zeroing out items that people paid for get you?

[drowsy cypress]

I think just the actual coding and lag reason

[carmine compass]

I thought it was close enough... :/

[dusky cove]

the problem is that you need to join the armada with more than 10 seconds left and it doesn't account for that when setting them 😦

[little violet]

People have some unrealistic mind set that inventory creates lag in their game🤣

Speaking of exchanging old currency I would just do 1 outdated currency = 1 lat, nobody getting rich with that one lol
