[near bloom]

A lotta people get target fixation and charge after the most annoying ship (enter Cybie)

[fluid shore]

With the current lag even 7 seconds 😂

[dusky cove]

yup hence me saying arena has some strategy bug is still vastly pay to win

[minor furnace]

Hi. I am an otter with a fixation for Aqua Jet.

[near bloom]

But as ranking matures the pay to win will battle the pay to win.

This isn’t random hookups like Incursions

[minor furnace]

shoutout to match

[dusky cove]

yeah if we kill all ouf 10 ships we delay it for 50s and only have 2 m respawn giving the other 9 ships free reign 😅

[near bloom]

Eenie meenie miney moe like Incursions.

[fluid shore]

The tolerance in ops and rating is still insane

you will never have a whale-free zone

[near bloom]

You don’t have to stop them all the time, you need to stop them at the right time.

Whole lot of admitting that people can’t play smart with their ships going on 😬😂

[late ermine]

Never surrender never give up lost 50 won 10 enjoyed it 100 % 😂

[minor furnace]

and if you can't win... Make it DIFFICULT

Get them mad to make mistakes

[near bloom]

The best compliment for a loss is coming back on here and seeing “this should have been a walkover, oooft these guys didn’t half make us work for it. We failed four group armadas trying!”

[fluid shore]

Get them mad to make em buy packs

[dusky cove]

no offence but to me it mainly seems alot of effort to deny that the iss Mastercard helps a lot here. Strategy helps but claiming strategy reigns over money in arenas is a joke

[fluid shore]

• Scopely 2024

[late ermine]

Also u do get 400 losing

[minor furnace]

Why not. I don't care if they throw money at the problem.

[late ermine]

Its not really work without rewards

[minor furnace]

I did MY job.

[near bloom]

And then the game has more investment AND they get further out of your arena rankings 🤣

[near bloom]

Because it doesn’t even help a lot. Sure it helps but power is nothing without control and if they’re focused on trying to kill your ships then they’re not focused on scoring for the arena, and you’ll win.

[normal elm]

is that a Deathiant in your avatar or are you just happy to see me?

[near bloom]

Anything else is just “woe is me, F2P perpetual victim”. Thinking this would be any different when the game is literally filled with “play smart or spend hard” is fooling yourself.

[minor furnace]

and don't be afraid to ask for help

[fluid shore]

Under the premise everyone has unlimited instant-repairs, yes. But we don't.

[near bloom]

It. Doesn’t. Matter. How. Many. Times. You. Die.

It only matters that when you’re alive you stop them getting to their armadas. And if they’re laser focused on winning “by PvP” or you’re laser focused on the actual objectives, you’ll beat paid power hands down nearly every time.

[near bloom]

The people that have the cash to unlimited instant repairs will very quickly rank outside of your matching area anyway.

[fluid shore]

Can't do objectives when you're in your station repairing is what I'm saying 😂

[near bloom]

The biggest benefit I see paid players having at this point is actually the extra docks.

[late ermine]

Yup and just because some one spend a lot don't make em stronger 🤣 take ben for example 30m newton on ops 50 says he is running out of research

[minor furnace]

I have considered doing that.

But money is a luxury after all

[near bloom]

Narrator: He is not running out of research

[minor furnace]

But I can manage with 6 docks

[late ermine]

Also tier 5 Newton

[dusky cove]

Sorry, are you seriously claiming it doesn't make a difference if my team can't scratch their ships ?

[near bloom]

The single biggest mistake I’m seeing from the teams that I’ve seen have the biggest complaint about matchmaking is they’re getting a mid to start it so the lows can come along and their “whale carry” can carry them, but all the “whale carry” does is drag that average ops up to put you in more strife.

[dusky cove]

and hopefully ranking will weed paying players out but that doesn't change my stance that I would have preferred cash to have 0 impact on arenas

[near bloom]

Then you’re playing the wrong game.

The only way that arenas would have had no impact from cash is if it completely ignored your ship hangar, your research, your officer roster, your docks, everything.

And that’s beyond unreasonable.

[dusky cove]

is it? Hardly an unusual system in a fair number of games

[late ermine]

Surely u will get a good match at some point tho happens in every game ( i myself lost 7 or 8 back to back then got a good match )

[late elk]

It’s unreasonable in THIS game

[near bloom]

If you’re continuing to play STFC in the hope that one day it isn’t going to be STFC, I’ve got news for you…

[late elk]

It’s like legitimately the most unrealistic thing you could ever expect in a game like this where money allows you to progress faster and unlock more power

Even if it was only lvl 40s vs lvl 40s or 63 vs 63, the ones who had spent will have more research, more ship tiers, better officers …

[late ermine]

Oh hd knows sheet 🤣 i heard not his 1st redo

[near bloom]

There will be the one with MU crew, tantalus field, FC Lorca…

[dusky cove]

I'm merely saying you claim it's unreasonable while I'm saying it isn't, eve echoes has this far example iirc. StFC not wanting to do that due to wanting to monetize arenas like paid speedups is another thing altogether

[late ermine]

Sometimes games get too frustrating ... I will walk away when its time for me too

[late elk]

I just returned to the game and have no idea what two out of three things in that list are

😆😆😆😆😆

[late ermine]

Hey when i warpwd out from mining system got blasted by big ships what do u mean eve has better 😂

[near bloom]

FC Lorca - death ray button. Tantalus Field - FT with something like 1000% hull boost. MU crew, the only thing that kills anything nowadays 🤣

[late elk]

Yet another massive ft. Ugh

Ohh really

[late ermine]

I have played eve for a while

[late elk]

What’s the MU crew exactly?

Mirror universe I take it?

[late ermine]

Yea m Picard and co

[late elk]

Are they the apex barrier ones

[late ermine]

Yea

[dusky cove]

nsea gets you all the trell you need

[floral kestrel]

Question, what’s the best crewing to farm rep in mirror universe?

[late elk]

I’m not chasing anything in this game anymore

Did my head in once already

[late ermine]

E pic e data 5 of 11

[minor furnace]

[late elk]

I’m just gonna zen out now

[minor furnace]

Adm. Freeman below too

[late ermine]

The lanzo yes

[near bloom]

Do what you do, use your skill to beat paid players or come here to complain that you’re not inventive enough in what you do 😝

[minor furnace]

Throw more exos than is allowed at robot wars

[acoustic folio]

@near bloom did you manage to find something about those league points?? 😅

[late ermine]

I do mu run every now and then for fkr credits lol

Rather than rep

[near bloom]

Jesus give us chance, I need Pauly to wake up to badger him 😆

[late elk]

Credits? How?

[near bloom]

MU pays out credits

[late elk]

As in loot?

[late ermine]

U kno whats more funny did a ticket they instantly closed it 🤣

After telling me to give prof if i was gold lol

[near bloom]

Yep

[late elk]

Ohh what systems

I didn’t eee that

[late ermine]

Yup from loot boxes

[dusky cove]

I'm just saying that iirc, though it has been years, eve echoes has an arena/wargame system with preset ships and gear

[late ermine]

Its totally different type of game tho

If u lose ship there its lost

So ofcourse not everyone is flying with titans ... There

[dusky cove]

in the arena you don't use your own ships but as I said, it has been ages

[late elk]

Preset? Ew

[fallow sage]

Where can I source armada directives? Just regular unc fkr

[near bloom]

https://tenor.com/view/payday-cash-money-rich-gif-17898571

[dusky cove]

alliance store or money

[late ermine]

Lowest system

The one i kill

[fallow sage]

Was hoping that wasn't the case

[late ermine]

I aill say if u farming credits go speed crew kill lvl 45s unless u got like 100m + protector then 51s

[minor furnace]

I never tried hitting the 51s

How is it with... a tier 10 g4 rare?

with metreon at tier 8

[late ermine]

Its 2b power

[late elk]

ta

[late ermine]

How big is your g4 rare i can only take a few with pilum tier 8 and 85m power

[fluid shore]

It's mostly hull though

[late ermine]

I haven't tried pilum for a while tho

[minor furnace]

Newton, avg 110M, with around 18M DPR average before crits

[late ermine]

60m tier 4 protector can kill maybe 15s then i go mining

[late elk]

wonder how my 330 sanctus wud go

[minor furnace]

31% added for iso

[fluid shore]

You're better off speeding 45's

[late ermine]

I will say go find out 🤣 they have all energy weapons so pmc is a good option for 51

[fluid shore]

or 48's even, try Mirror Dessica

[acoustic folio]

😂😂😂😅 well you didnt gave me timelime 😛

[minor furnace]

I might as well hit the 51's with the northcutt

[late ermine]

Yea 🤣

[minor furnace]

looking at the hull health

[late ermine]

I do protector because have to mine so what i do is hit few 51 or 48s on my way then mine

Its more of a added to mining ...

To save time speeding the small ones probably will give u more credits overall

[signal cloak]

So, just for clarity, I can define 4 variables that are used to match:
average rating, average rank, leader opslevel, average opslevel

[minor furnace]

Sounds about right, IMO.

[leaden meadow]

you know Scopely does mathn't

[near bloom]

Seems like people need to stop asking for that “whale carry”

[late ermine]

Seems to be the deciding factor yes

[opaque badger]

Doesn’t help at all tbh

[leaden meadow]

I spent some of my ultra recruit tokens this weekend, setting the slider to 50 pulls required the game 40-60 seconds just to calculate what I'd be getting
coding could use some work

[near bloom]

Agreed, I think. Drags average rating and average ops up, pulling you out of your normal position potentially drastically.

[opaque badger]

Was in a group ranging 45-50 earlier, 3 out of 4 games we faced multiple 53+, heck one had a 57 in it

[near bloom]

Ah, you’re still battling the even starting point though.

[opaque badger]

Best match we got was 3 50s, I was the one 50 we had and the power was pretty lopsided

[near bloom]

One 57 aside, 50s vs 53s isn’t an enormous delta.

[opaque badger]

Yes it is

[near bloom]

Only if you’re a rubbish 50 😅

[opaque badger]

It wasn’t 50s, it was a 50

[near bloom]

To be useless against a 53 you need to not have a G4E and they need to have an excessive G5U.

[leaden meadow]

https://tenor.com/view/polikotvsapogax-gif-15733285314671545447

[opaque badger]

125M ship vs 3 players with 250M+ only works if they’re rubbish 53s

[late elk]

as a 56, even if i fight pother 56-59s

a lot of them have ships at like t10+

wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy stronger

😢

[opaque badger]

I was able to get one vorcha down and that was only because his BD was trash

[near bloom]

Quitting sucks, eh? 🥲

[late elk]

was the same even before i left

to be fair

rofl

[near bloom]

If you’re focusing on what kills you can get in arenas you’re doing it wrong.

[leaden meadow]

I still don't have T'Ana, players with similar strength but more iso defense are wrecking me pretty hard atm
Even though my research and artifacts for iso defense are a lot higher than theirs

[opaque badger]

If you’re the largest player on your team in arena that’s your job

[warm pivot]

https://tenor.com/view/coffee-time-kopi-ngopi-orangutan-drinking-coffee-gif-13392755374862936100

[opaque badger]

Otherwise your teammates are spending all game getting sacktapped

[near bloom]

If he’s running around in a Vorcha then you’ve pretty much by default won because he can’t get anywhere at anything other than galactic drift speed. 🤣

[near bloom]

If they’re getting whacked by a Vorcha, again, they’re not preparing and approaching it right.

[opaque badger]

Tribune isn’t exactly a speed demon

[near bloom]

You don’t win arenas by killing people

You win arenas by not being killed.

You don’t do either of those things in a battleship

[leaden meadow]

depends on if you're doing the armadas and the vorcha just sits in your circle :p

[near bloom]

(Regretting my Augur about now 🤣)

[near bloom]

Go to the other side of the circle

Takes them the countdown to cross the thing 🤣

[mortal elk]

this is why I grabbed an unlock of Dane 🤣

made the bortas bearable 🤣

[opaque badger]

Your impulse research must be trash tbh

[mortal elk]

ops 39 locked server fun

[opaque badger]

Not you

[late elk]

they still exist?

[mortal elk]

HD

ops 39 locked 🤣

[near bloom]

Every single impulse speed research near enough that applies to battleships applies to interceptors.

Which start at a much, much better starting point.

You can roll that turd in glitter all day long, but your Talios is faster.

[opaque badger]

I’m not setting land speed records, but with max impulse research can usually track down people without impulse crews

[mortal elk]

I can't think of any ship specific impulse researches before tail end of g5 tbh

[near bloom]

Botany Bay

[opaque badger]

And 20x squishier at 55M power

[mortal elk]

Ah yes, that well known combat ship 🤣

[near bloom]

The point is you don’t get squished because they don’t catch you.

[normal elm]

oh shoot, cheers, forgot she was full

[late elk]

what happens when u fight a 63+ ship thats faster than jesus on a beam of light?

https://tenor.com/view/you-are-dead-dead-cut-throat-threat-jungkook-gif-1993902389723613232

[opaque badger]

When you’re facing 3 players that have a ship a tier higher and Talios’ the size of T10 G4 epics they do catch you

[leaden meadow]

you vemet that guy and keep him occupied while the rest of your team scores
If it's only 1 63 ofc

[silver parcel]

got a lot of pms about my rotarran doing that faster than jesus thing

[near bloom]

You roll faster than Jesus on a stream of photons.

[late elk]

works in theory, not so much in practice

given that repairs take 2 mins

[near bloom]

Three rolls of Vemet usually confuses people 🤣

[opaque badger]

haha

[near bloom]

Yes, I know it’s not guaranteed every time, yes, I know it’s not going to beat the ones with the big ships that play smart.

[silver parcel]

too many brought in g6 uncs that were about useless

[near bloom]

But the teams rocking a Vorcha are not playing smart.

[opaque badger]

That’s pretty pathetic on their parts

[near bloom]

Neither are the ones rocking a Trib.

[late elk]

not really the 63s are super weak

if u have a strong 56 or 60

[opaque badger]

Well we don’t all buy and max new ships just for trash events

[silver parcel]

the nsea with speed crew was king for hostiles

[near bloom]

You’ve got a collection of ships better placed, you just have all your eggs in your Trib.

The thing is, as matchmaking matures you’ll find yourself around more people who are in the same position and you can all play who’s got the least slow ship together 😝

[opaque badger]

Pray tell, what other ship can I use to protect teammates

[near bloom]

Tell them to protect themselves.

Their job is to gobble hostiles and solo armadas

Anyone not focused on the thing that actually scores is baggage.

[opaque badger]

Well golly gee that will work swell versus 125M Talios’ chasing down their 50Mish ships

[near bloom]

Exactly. 125M Talios can’t kill all 10 ships in 30 seconds.

[late elk]

https://tenor.com/view/boring-randy-marsh-south-park-s22e2-a-priest-and-a-boy-gif-20405246

[opaque badger]

3 of them can

Especially when backed by 3 other 53+ ships

[near bloom]

Debatable, unless you park them all up and stand still for them 🤣

[opaque badger]

Maybe you found the only people on the planet that just followed you fron behind and didn’t use other ships to corner you. After you tier up a couple times you don’t get those players anymore.

[near bloom]

Then you found the limit of your skill and your ships.

🤷🏻‍♂️

That’s how it goes.

[opaque badger]

Usually is when programmers are trash and can’t set up matchmaking ya

[near bloom]

Why?

Because it’s all new and shiny you’ve gotta wait while all the good players rise through the ranks past you. And good matchmaking you’ll lose about as many as you win 🙂

Good matchmaking isn’t winning every fight.

[opaque badger]

Why what? Why are Scopely programmers trash? If you can’t answer that I would question if you even play the game.

[near bloom]

Can we avoid violating the rules please.

[normal elm]

i imagine the programmers now quickly scribbling 'make weaker players win in the future' 🥲

[near bloom]

I’m all up for spirited debate but if you’re going to resort to name calling then the mods are going to have to come in all happy like and correct your course to the airlock.

[near bloom]

“Give them a dead cert win every once in a while as a ‘thanks for playing’ prize” 😂

[opaque badger]

Meh, not like they ever actually do anything based off feedback from this discord anyway.

[near bloom]

Actually I’ve seen people yeeted fairly regularly for insulting people on here.

[opaque badger]

The whale discord is the only one that had any real input.

[near bloom]

So, yeah, they do take action based on feedback on this discord 😂

[opaque badger]

Oh I’m sure they’ll yeet people left and right, I’m saying they don’t really care about feedback from the peasants.

[queen jolt]

https://tenor.com/view/hi-hi-there-gif-16107842475380108536

[near bloom]

But they do.

[opaque badger]

The continued placement of the home button says otherwise. Only seen about 100 complaints about it.

[near bloom]

This feature is possibly the least whale-centric implementation that I’ve seen in this game in years.

[opaque badger]

Arena? As long as they’re in the whale alliance it’s pretty geared towards them. Had multiple matches against 69 ops players with our 53 leader, despite our server being G5 locked.

[normal elm]

give it time, it will be a little bit more balanced each time

[opaque badger]

The solo whales or small alliance ones are gonna have a rough go of it, but don’t see a ton of them in the wild.

[signal cloak]

the arena is not really depending 1 or 2 whales if anything; if your team fails, the whales won't be able to operate against 5 other players

[near bloom]

Yep.

If you’re taking “a big gun” into Arenas then you’re setting yourself up for failure.

[signal cloak]

the data shows as well as personal experience; we both managed to go against big guns as well as fail against smaller teams

[near bloom]

Every tactical nuke you put in your team drags your ranking up opening yourself up to worse teams the other side. Coupled with a lack of data maturity in ranking and it’s going to take a few runs for it to settle down.

[signal cloak]

absolutely. Player experience, adjustments and duration will affect the outcome globally

[near bloom]

No, but they’ll be there after you start it 🤣

[normal elm]

there are many pvp games out there with team based arenas where putting up weak defences is the tactic you have to use to get a more doable assignment next time round, this is really not all new

I didn't find it a disaster.

[oak basin]

idk if it was so much that he decided as that the withdrawal symptoms decided for him

[minor furnace]

I find disasters to be things that you can not even make an attempt to even try to the point where it gets taken down by the devs themselves.

[near bloom]

I missed you too much 😘

[minor furnace]

That has happened a couple times

with incursions

[oak basin]

and i have you booked in for a checkup to figure out what's going on, that's not normal

“I got beaten a couple of times” isn’t disastrous.

Hello everyone, I'm sorry to ask the question here but is there a table for mirror systems? who has a link to give me please thank you

[near bloom]

A table? I recommend IKEA.

[stray pawn]

Many people couldn’t because of the timing of event and having it on Lat Monday was another error. Then there was the fact that some lost millions of mats, as well as tokens, because miners were recalled even though there was nothing warning about this. The event matchmaking I can take as it was new and a consequence of the poor timing, but overall it was disaster for most. Many of my alliance logged on after getting home from work to find it nearly over. Initial impressions will stop a lot from participating in the future which will just perpetuate the problem. The overall idea was a good one, but the execution was very poor

[humble mirage]

Thanks so
much

[oak basin]

to be fair, there's been repeated mentions on here for the past week that miners would be auto-recalled when going into arena, and the actual announcement about arena does say that you'll be automatically pulled into arena - that station and ships will be relocated, when you're in a squad and it's matched up. i think it's just been confusion about what 'deploy two ships simultaneously' meant, the difference between 'two ships can leave station at a time' and 'only two ships will be involved' wasn't understood by everyone.

[stray pawn]

On here is not that relevant as the vast majority of people who play the game never visit it. You are then relying on word of mouth

[minor furnace]

And not check the in-game news board.

There was multiple ways to check in-game and discord. That is on them.

[oak basin]

maybe not, but as i said, it was mentioned in the official news announcement on the stfc website, which players were linked to in the in-game announcement. if they don't read that, that's on them. if they failed to understand it when they read it, that may be insufficient clarity, or it may be a language barrier.

[oak basin]

to be fair, for english speakers, german is a surprisingly unintuitive language, given the shared roots. it's one of those things where you really want a german to be the one doing the translation, and american companies are exceedingly unlikely to track down actual germans they'd have to pay to do the translation, when they have access to google translate, which doesn't have to be paid.

[dull mason]

Deletion is permanent..

[oak basin]

also germans can be really fussy about what dialect things are translated into, like, someone who speaks hessisch may look at something in swabisch and be all " this is very poorly translated " about it ( and this is one of the reasons google translate's german is so bad, it has absolutely 0 grasp of dialects and mixes and matches between submitted translations without any dialectual consistency )

kinda like how most of the world looks at 'american english' and says " would you please learn how spelling and grammar work "

So no announcement regarding client updates 🤔 <@&509690795536941056>

[silver parcel]

got pushed back

looking at the 17th now

[minor furnace]

What a coincidence... I did get a client patch on PC

A small one though

[vagrant tapir]

All 3 clients been updated

[slow isle]

same, just a small patch

[minor furnace]

Meh.. Most likely a bunch of translation corrections

The CMs mock Barny all the time and he hasn’t spent a penny.

[slow isle]

They added new stages to the battle simulator😉 (remember that one🙈 )

[near bloom]

Did they? Awesome!

More free stuff 🤣

[slow isle]

I actually wish they would do that

[minor furnace]

omg they did

What’s a T9 Vidar pull cost for max (three pulls) and can you pull it as well as Tally’Ho pulls? I can’t remember.

[oak basin]

Coming next patch chimera in the arena

[oak basin]

hex based movement system. future battletech arc confirmed

or maybe a hearts of iron crossover arc, new g4 specialty ship, the tiger 1, special ability : stopping working in the middle of combat because it broke

[oak basin]

you joke but they do seem to be a bit bad at keeping special hostiles to their designated thing, prolly gonna get fatu krey spawning everytime you kill anything in arena at some point

[outer mesa]

did they fix the busted symbiosis mission that they said they fixed a week ago or no

[vagrant vapor]

there was never anything wrong with the symbiosis missions

[silver parcel]

it was an old mission, had nothing to do with the arc

[dull mason]

Well morning LAG has arrived

[queen scarab]

Did it ever leave

[outer mesa]

really then why does it make it so you cant get into the game for 3 to 4 hours after completing a section of it cause that sounds pretty busted to me and its done it to me 3 times now lol

[queen scarab]

Just more attention seeking at times 😂

[outer mesa]

busted busted busted thats what that is lol tell me again its not busted liars lol

[mortal elk]

complete the mission and see if it's still doing it?

[queen scarab]

Its not busted

[outer mesa]

it is busted liar

[queen scarab]

Its mcfly

[silver parcel]

most had already finished the mission

long time ago

if you keep insulting people who are trying to help, in spite of your approach, you'll need to find somewhere else to ignore the help offered

<@&509690795536941056> The Prime Fleet Readiness has been silently changed to not affect Lorca skill points anymore. It was working last month (if proof is needed, there's plenty in CC videos).

[outer mesa]

im not insulting anyone im simply telling the truth the people saying it wasnt broke n are wrong and not telling the truth cause it most defintly was it doesnt lock you outa youre game for hours just by completing a secttion of it if its working properly correct or no lol

[mortal elk]

Nobody has said 'it wasn't broken'

[near bloom]

It was never the symbiosis missions and insulting people is insulting people whether you believe your position to be one of “fact” or not.

[mortal elk]

they're saying 'it isn't broken now, and it isn't the mission you think it was'

So, time out to take a breather, think about it, check for yourself maybe, and come back with a better attitude?

it's clear people don't want more icons. so they add more every time.

[cunning topaz]

it's gone, with the today's app update

[sour schooner]

@queen jolt @heady moon what is with mirror waves?

[wraith plover]

same thing that's wrong with all the voyager systems giving exception_error_200

[sour schooner]

what they fix today for what was the update?

[wraith plover]

20mb to remove the arena button.

[civic geyser]

Thursday I’m led to believe for Mu waves fix

[sour schooner]

and where is the comp for the unplayable mirror waves?

[silver parcel]

The update we just had was just backend work

The fiix for mu waves was pushed back to the 17th, comp chest will come after it's fixed

[twilit lintel]

gotta be a faster way to mine with the freesha without buying a refit

[sour schooner]

fine idea... when it is fixed I can go for new items, but UNTIL it is fixed???

so stupid all the time this "comp when it is fixed"

most things are not fixed, so never a comp and wh not a comp now because we cant get ingame items

[wraith plover]

you're right. most things are not fixed. and they won't be.

[sour schooner]

yeah and so never the comp arrived ^^

[silver parcel]

https://tenor.com/view/viva-la-dirt-league-vldl-souls-logic-dark-souls-git-gud-gif-19856700

[wraith plover]

as you shouldn't. their content is constantly broken or abandoned. no wonder they're shifting back towards mobile after the restructure.

[twilit lintel]

lets see

[silver parcel]

arrock has little effect on a feesha

he's more useful on a regular survey

[twilit lintel]

yup i got him and his partner

[wraith plover]

it increases with synergy 12,500%

[silver parcel]

Even full synergy isn't a big boost on a feesha

It already has a big increase

[twilit lintel]

ty again

[wraith plover]

there's also fc spock

bottom right tree. "prosper."

[twilit lintel]

got him too

hmm

time to upgrade him lol

[wraith plover]

unfortunately you need titan.

[twilit lintel]

got that too

[west matrix]

can anybody give me this months redeem code pls?

[wraith plover]

the loop is require to advance fc's. they never added a drip

thx

[wraith plover]

yup. gotta do it daily to get the fc stuff. if you care.

[wraith plover]

easier if you do it like this

[silver parcel]

you're better off with max cargo/protected

wasted officers otherwise

[wraith plover]

your research eventually makes it a quick recall and deploy again.

[silver parcel]

my feesha is max, my research is max, my whip is max, i'm well aware

Using those officers is a waste

[wraith plover]

30 second nodes and warp versus sitting on a node for 5 minutes

[twilit lintel]

whip cost money and im poor

[silver parcel]

They're better off on a regular survey so it mines like a early feesha, and your whip feesha using max cargo so you can pop on and off longer between trips, or max protected if you have to worry about hunters

[wraith plover]

you don't have to worry about opc on older servers unless you get up and walk away.

most nodes... your research exceeds their value.

you know that.

[civic geyser]

lol I have to worry about it opc/upc

[wraith plover]

yeah game's like that sometimes

[silver parcel]

i don't have to worry about it since i tossed the whip on a selkie and haven't mined concentrated in about a year

still get 1st every time though

[twilit lintel]

i keep my eye on my miner lol

There always is

[light crown]

God forbid they put out a halfway decent product.

[civic geyser]

In other news this was my 2nd wave

[red stag]

Guys will the arena event always be in working hours?

[near bloom]

Says it was your first.

[near bloom]

Unclear

[red stag]

But having it only for 8 hour during work is really a mess

(The 3 round i partecipated i really liked it btw!)

[near bloom]

Define “working hours”.

US covers about 6 hours time difference. Europe most of double that.

APAC a lot too.

There’s no winning with limited hours - but what is clear is they didn’t feel they wanted to run it for 24 hours.

[civic geyser]

People work different shifts

[near bloom]

CMs have said they’ll feedback, so we just need to see what falls out the other end of the sausage machine.

[red stag]

In eu it was from 11am to 8pm

[near bloom]

In your time zone.

[red stag]

Generally working hour are 9am 19pm

Yep

In eu also uk is similar (only 1 hour difference)

[near bloom]

And in Russia?

You’ll work it out eventually, but let me help you along the way - it started at 10pm for some of our Russian players on EU servers.

[civic geyser]

With the limited time span I think most had trouble getting members together for a team

[red stag]

We are in the middle in,italy so 1.hour less.in uk 1 more in east Russia

Yep if was a 24 hour event there will be no prob

8 hour in the middle of working hours are really a problem

[near bloom]

Basically, it’s not easy and while it is easy to point at US for example where a majority are within a few hours, when you venture to the extremities there’s no easy answer.

[civic geyser]

Don’t think running it for 24hrs is something they plan on

[near bloom]

I don’t think it would work very well either

[red stag]

When you talk of eu the majority is germany, uk, italy, Russia, france

All,within 3 hours

[near bloom]

No they aren’t 🤣

[red stag]

Why not?

[red stag]

At moskow now are 15.34 in italy germany france is 14.34 in uk is 13.34

Then there are extreme territory but there are very few ppl in them

[near bloom]

Moscow is in Russia but Russia isn’t in Moscow 🤣

[heavy idol]

There's a bit of Russia past Moscow tho

[red stag]

I know but look at populations

Majority is in st Pietroburgo and moskow areas

[near bloom]

145M people in Russia, 13.1M people in Moscow.

https://tenor.com/view/pedro-monkey-puppet-meme-awkward-gif-15268759

[red stag]

Look at the zone around not only the city themselves

[opal meadow]

well done on an actual fun mechanic scopely! Need to improve matchmaking and maybe start times a bit and possibly shrink repair time down to a 1 minute or something, but this arena concept is promising

[near bloom]

Yakutsk is half a million population.

[twilit lintel]

since when has scopley done anything right lol

[red stag]

I have not saying that the rest is empty but within this area should be more then 70-75% of the population

And the rest of europe is within 2 hour

[near bloom]

Oh ok, so we’re ignoring extremities.

[red stag]

Nope

[near bloom]

Hey Hawaii, screw you, you don’t count.

[opal meadow]

That has been my message for the past 5 years. they finally make something somewhat positive though

[red stag]

I didnt say that...I am saying that for majority of ppl in eu the time proposed was terrible

[twilit lintel]

good place to relax tho lol

[near bloom]

I prefer playing when I’m working 🙂

[red stag]

When I am working i prefer to work...

🤣

[twilit lintel]

]i know ur not talkin bout that laggy crashy mismatched arena are u?

[near bloom]

Arena looked incredible

[red stag]

But besides of that the point is that doing a 12 hour event will probably solve the issue if not moving the window

[twilit lintel]

oh yeah it looks awesome just gotta get pass the lag and crashes

[near bloom]

I agree with you there, that the window was badly placed

[civic geyser]

If only you could play

[red stag]

I agree event is one of the best in a long time

And the fact the only ppl without a job can partecipate is really a mess

[near bloom]

I have a job.

[red stag]

Yep I was correcting it saying or ppl who can play at work 😅

[twilit lintel]

now if only you could match with ppl in here say i wanna start arena just imput vamp death and laan82 name and boom that would be awesome too lol

[near bloom]

If you extend the window though, assuming most of the people who will engage in this content found a way to do so, it’s 2000 teams that were put up.

If you drag that out over more hours, your matchmaking decreases massively.

[twilit lintel]

WOAH

[civic geyser]

Please don’t cross post

[near bloom]

Less of the insults, please don’t cross post, and 10,000 people engaged in it.

[light crown]

Lmfao @ "STPDLY"

[twilit lintel]

i sense someone might be getting muted soon lol

[signal cloak]

well you just took the words out of my mouth. Try actually being a part of the solution instead of the problem.

[near bloom]

Indeed, you can always spot them a mile off.

They could suggest what they think could be improved (spoiler alert, if you breathe through your mouth and think “never run them again” is helpful feedback you are the problem) but they prefer to just scream about how they seem to want to play a different game altogether.

[red stag]

This is true moving the event of 3 hours would be probably enough

[signal cloak]

I guess people rant rather than contribute and actually think of how to solve issues.

[near bloom]

Welcome to the STFC official Discord!

[signal cloak]

also, not understanding why Scopely chose this timeframe (and was actually right in doing so considering the beta test last week!)

[civic geyser]

Please be civil on here

[red stag]

Guys I am not ranting but just trying to find solution (ignoring insulting message obviously)

[near bloom]

I read it, but “don’t put it during my working hours at all because I work those hours and screw anyone that works shifts” isn’t really offering a solution either is it.

[scarlet hare]

Ok this is not a rant....but
Can we have our mirror waves fixed today please.
People are losing out on researches and syndicate

[near bloom]

Your post was 95% insult and 5% “accommodate me”

[near bloom]

Today no can do. New estimate is Thursday but we haven’t had concrete confirmation.

[red stag]

Mine? Or referring to others?

[near bloom]

Others 🙂

[signal cloak]

arga to be all precise

[scarlet hare]

Thursday... I hope we're getting a huge compensation chest....

[light crown]

If Scopely wants to limit Arena engagement to certain times, then they should have TWO blocks.

[silver parcel]

I hear someone wants a mute.

[signal cloak]

and there's plenty of reasons what a set timeframe will never have no consequences 🙂 Regardless of available time, there's always someone gone/not available/on holidays or whatever.

[near bloom]

UK’s quantity of workers that work shifts are 14%. This also ignores people that choose to play during working hours, or those who do not work at all.

Whilst I am sympathetic to those who could not participate because of the timing, your posts are a walking demonstration of how not to go about it.

[signal cloak]

in the end it's a choice they made. the only thing 'wrong' about the choice is the lack of communicating it earlier

[near bloom]

Your opening salvo was to call them “Stupidly”.

Now, imagine you’re in a customer facing role.

[light crown]

I mean if the shoe fits....lmao

[near bloom]

How many people who approach you and insult you are you actually going to help to the best of your ability, vs “to a professional standard”.

Because the professional standard goes to everyone that walks up to me and insults me.

I’ll move heaven and earth for the nice ones.

[near bloom]

It doesn’t matter whether the shoe fits, it’s a headlong walk into a mute around these parts based on the rules people agreed to when they joined 🙂

*in your opinion.

And in the opinion of every shouty Karen that doesn’t get what they want, they’re incompetent, useless and deserve to be called every name under the sun.

[light crown]

Yeah, I get it. I'm just being an ass. Not defending that at all. That being said...we've tried nice...we've tried everything and they still continue to put out a broken product.

[near bloom]

I get it too. Y’all seem to act like we don’t all play the same game.

Two months I’ve been asking for ascension because for two or three months we’ve been releasing content that I can’t play.

[fluid shuttle]

I have more bugs after the update today. What's going on?

[worn rapids]

G'day sorry to jump in bt just wondering if reset will be still happening for 201

[near bloom]

🤷🏻‍♂️ I voice my concerns in ways that don’t break the rules and as such garner more attention.

[light crown]

I'm just saying some anger and venting is warranted. There's a way to show it without going all Karen. Not a dumb spam post though.

[west matrix]

matchmaking is complete bs anyway... when you are in a team of 5 people between ops 49 and 55 and then you have to face an opposing team who's LOWEST player is a single ops 55 and the rest of them have access to g5 rare....

[near bloom]

I’m not here to comment on their level of professionalism. If and when I have issue with it I articulate myself in a way that doesn’t get me muted and is helpful to the team.

I am here to comment on your level of behaviour here, and it stinks.

[light crown]

Look man I'm trying

[near bloom]

Matchmaking takes time to mature the data, and unfortunately in some cases you’re gonna have to take the “close enough” match because over the course of the entire event in the two bigger regions there were the equivalent of 2000 teams.

Because particularly for event completion, losing is still better than not competing at all.

[signal cloak]

and matchmaking is always a balance between set boundaries, time to wait and available teams 🙂

even with 2000 teams, it's a challenge

[near bloom]

Like Vidar PvP. Do you sit there and wait until someone turns up in a ship you can kill, eventually running out of time, or do you all Vemet up and crash into each other until it’s done?

[round ember]

If you can get in for the first hour, you get a lot of people putting decent crews on and having a good go at it, in my bracket on my server, at least

But when you know you've got no hope of winning a single battle, you Vemet up. That was the matchmaking experience for at least 50% of my Arena matches yesterday. The other were close fights

[light crown]

@queen jolt don't ignore me

[dull mason]

Rubbish event, no one with a Ship weaker ever shows up..
It's a boring Slog

[near bloom]

People like me don’t get to play the first hour, we’re too busy trying to help people 😂

[west matrix]

maybe so... invalidates your argument not to lenghen the event - if this kind of thing also happens in an event that lasts just a few hours... so if it happens ANYWAY... why not make the event longer and give everyone a chance to participate - rather than expluding people whop actually have a life and jobs and bring in the money they spend you your game?!?!?! I am a European who was placed on an APAC server when I started the game and was past the point where I could change servers when I found out that this option even existed... and yet the timing for this event is chosen so poorly - I can't really participate no matter if I'm playing on apac OR eu server...

[queen jolt]

is this about the blue rings, right?

[civic geyser]

Yeah can we change the colour 🤣

[near bloom]

You couldn’t change from APAC to EU anyways if it makes you feel any better… although it probably doesn’t 🙈

[dull mason]

That " Blue" ring's
Could cause Epileptic fits ..
And should be Cancelled asap

[near bloom]

But yes, I appreciate the delicate balance that needs to exist between allowing all to participate through long windows, the need to encourage participation to allow best matchmaking, and the challenges of event completion.

It’s a difficult puzzle.

[west matrix]

I see, as usual, you completely got the point people are trying to make and focus your (not so) helpful answer on useless details, mocking the people here... haven't changed a bit... should have stayed where you went when you left

[near bloom]

There’s no need for that - I answered the rest in the next post.

[west matrix]

yeah... as a "member of the team" you should ONLY post the second part and keep the unnecessary first part that is ONLY designed to irritate people to yourself

[light crown]

Yeah sure is. Haven't done a mirror wave in a week. Where's the compensation? Is it good? (Don't laugh) Do I need to get my pitchfork and torch ready?

[dull mason]

Close the event till it's fixed,
Give Compensation, Chest
If you CAN Actually do that.....

[near bloom]

Why is it intended to mock? It’s intended to provide some solace that were that option there it wouldn’t have applied to what you wanted to do anyway 🤷🏻‍♂️

Personally I’d feel comforted that there was literally nothing I could do even if I’d known, rather than thinking “if I’d known x sooner”.

[hollow vessel]

Does anyone know when the vindicator event is supposed to be?

[near bloom]

I believe Thursdays.

Alongside Apex

For those that have the ship.

[hollow vessel]

Would have been nice to know last Thursday

[west matrix]

I'm past the point of ANY server change anyway... so what difference does it make... the point I was trying to make was an entirely different one... one that you conveniently ignore in your answer

[signal cloak]

well 3 regions and 24hr

= 8hr/region

[late ermine]

Any news on a fix for apac players ranks ?

[signal cloak]

that's how 8hr came to pass

[west matrix]

save it HD... you are now blocked... not dealing with your BS in here anymore

[near bloom]

Your point was to attack anyone you can perceive to be Scopely. You felt it necessary to denigrate anyone that could play during those hours as not having a job or being worth any money, you inflate your sense of self worth because you have spent on “my” (not my) game and then behave like a brat because you misunderstood the intent of comforting you over the server transfer token.

[near bloom]

Oh no, however will I live with myself. 🤣

Your valid points were shrouded in utter contempt for anyone and everything and your response to any discussion shaped by that.

[mortal elk]

There were valid points?

Mostly I saw diatribe and 'hey, 8 hours doesn't really work' which the team are already aware of and looking at

but mostly diatribe....

[near bloom]

That extending the window and having good matchmaking aren’t entirely exclusive, if you’re prepared to accept being thrown in to any match.

[dull mason]

They should be " Looking into "'

The multiple
Compensation Chest's they haven't given out....

[near bloom]

Which is a fair point, but then you accept that “being thrown in to any match” becomes the norm and nobody wants that either.

[opal meadow]

matchmaking is a huge one too. especially at the g6 level. you get a bunch of 57-63s going against a rare g6 or beefy cube and the odds of winning is very slim if they use speed crews. no one can touch their ships

[near bloom]

I’ll take the occasional wafflestomp to complete an event, but if every match up is just being battered then the feature gets old really quickly.

[civic geyser]

#⭐-official-announcements message

[late ermine]

I do think timing need to change a event during office hours don't really work too well 😅

[languid elm]

Yeah and the blue rings are still there. Is there a fix coming this month?

[silver parcel]

17th is the new date

[mortal elk]

I heard Thursday?

[dull mason]

Just don't Do Waves 🌊
Simple

[mortal elk]

pretty sure the blue rings are what create the 'cloudy' look in systems, and the 'too bright' blue rings are missing or mis-linked assets?

[mortal elk]

you can't do waves anyway 🤣

[light crown]

Thank you for that insightful advice. I don't know what we would do without you.

We’d have nobody to torment for losing their account!

We’d have to abuse me and @civic geyser for deleting our accounts instead.

Actually no, we’d have to abuse serial restarter Zab.

[scarlet hare]

That's not a good answer.....new content should be held off until old content is fixed.
Every time we have an update there's more bugs we have to contend with.
Just look at the amount of compensation chests we are getting.
The 'we thank you for your patience- quotes are wearing a bit thin

[dull mason]

Still no equivalent for Lower level player's or compensation
And still 8 days late for previous compensation

[mortal elk]

How about you ops up, join an alliance and do the alliance event?

[late ermine]

We are getting but with ? Mark 🤣

[civic geyser]

Be a team player

[languid elm]

Yeah 8 hours was a bit short. Should have been at least 12 or like Incursions and everything else 24 hours. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[dull mason]

The server is having a merger,
Most likely I'll join a new group

[near bloom]

In my head I’m wondering if two four hour slots works better, but there’s for sure ways of doing it differently.

[bright mulch]

https://tenor.com/view/going-to-bed-fail-caleb-labelle-daniel-labelle-midair-lagging-fall-to-the-floor-gif-27075152

[light crown]

I was thinking two 6 hour windows

[near bloom]

Could work. More hours is more too.

[late ermine]

Hey any news on ranking problem being fixed ?

[near bloom]

Could split it over days as well to help.

[late ermine]

For apac

[mortal elk]

I think they need to run 24hr and just see what happens

even though we know it's going to hit the available 'good' matches

[near bloom]

I predict terribad matches, but we’ll see.

Well, we won’t.

[mortal elk]

I could

[near bloom]

Cos, you know.

🤣

[mortal elk]

I could log into my main 🤣

but I'm quite liking not having to charge my phone every night

[scarlet hare]

From what I understand it takes about 2 hours to complete and that's if you win. Even splitting it into 4hour slots I'm not sure that scopely could handle the amount trying to do the event.
That's not taking into account the queue time

[late ermine]

2 hours how ?

3 win complete sms.. right

[mortal elk]

depends if you have the people active in alliance to start when you start?

[languid elm]

Why not 24 hours making it more available for everyone? Works around being on mining Monday and TC’s.

[late ermine]

Or 12 losses if u that unlucky

[near bloom]

I’m fairly sure it was like an hour of losing.

[near bloom]

The wider you cast the time segment the less people are doing it at any one time, and less at any one time means less people matching and less people matching means a lower quality of match.

[lyric haven]

Would still like to see consideration for reduction of squad size to 3

[mortal elk]

From 'player access' POV that's the right path.
From 'player presence' and teams being there to be paired, and active when they find a match... could? cause issues

[near bloom]

Given the complaints about the matches as they were… that could be a very quick decline in player experience.

[mortal elk]

But we won't know for sure til they try

[late ermine]

Mostly it ends in 5 to 7 min actually if someone is snowballing and max is 10 so ... Yes hour more or less ( also your team can start with u being afk free currency we did that a few times🤣 )

[near bloom]

I think smaller teams might be the thing that helps to achieve the balance.

[languid elm]

I can buy that to a point, but we do incursions for 24 hours so….

[mortal elk]

I'd hope they based the time slots on 'peak activity' for those servers... but, I have no idea how they picked the times 🙂

[mortal elk]

Incursions don't rely on you matching up with 9 other people at the same time

infact, incursions kinda rely on the exact opposite, and catching the people who are definitely not on line

[lyric haven]

Agreed. Could help the matchmaking algoritm in some cases in addition to (selfishly) allowing my team better chances to attempt next run. Made it as high as 4

[languid elm]

HD has a valid point of smaller teams. After all that Scopely individual in the FB video said it was one on one 🤪

[late ermine]

Dev who picked the timing

[lusty marsh]

You all are focused on the wrong end of the problem. The issue is limiting teams to one alliance. With the bracket limitations, many that did want to try the Arena were unable to. And it will only get worse as less people wants to participate

[near bloom]

You’re stuck with them for 24 hours and can throw a shield up, and that match is done for you.

Arena you’re either matching to someone or you’re not, and if in order to match you’ve got to say “right stuff it, stick that group of Lv70s with those people off 404 that thought they’d enjoy ascension” then you’re going to have a world of hurt.

[silver parcel]

Unfortunately it doesn't look like they can or are willing to change the alliance only caveat.

[late ermine]

Yup do think need a option for randoms

[mortal elk]

I'd play that, it'd be funny to watch the fallout 🤣

[signal cloak]

I think there's more to it than meets the eye 😉

[late ermine]

I mean hey i don't have a problem with mine but many don't have the privilege...

Also can make the braket smaller for joining people with randoms so a more even team is formed

[signal cloak]

i think the root cause is there's currently not a (public) construct that allows grouping up members other than alliance members 🙂

[languid elm]

Also we should be able to align with other alliances in our server like we can with waves. Makes it easier to fill a team of 5. We had to bail for a couple hours as we couldn’t fill a team of 5 within our alliance. If that isn’t possible we definitely need smaller team options.

[subtle vortex]

Any event with a timeslot allowed for the event is going to have a great deal of resentment against it. I would argue people want to play the game when they have time to play the game not be dictated to.

[lusty marsh]

Sure there is, assemble in one the wave systems, then provide a button to start an arena instead of a wave

[near bloom]

Yeah, I think a few people have said that alliances are a relatively strong constraint for this. I don’t know the technical complexity around it (and @signal cloak has alluded to the potential difficulty) but if it were possible it would be great.

[near bloom]

Get that, I too struggle when they do/did incursions at the weekend as that’s when I’m not on (although I deal with that a lot better than some others!) so I know it can be frustrating and disappointing.

[languid elm]

Incursions, more broken than playable. 🤣

[late ermine]

@mortal elk any news on a fix for apac ranking ? I was gold 4 got demoted to silver 3 instead of a promotion to... Gold 3 .... I know i asked it few times but what can i do my alliance is like top of apac arena leaderboard 😂

[signal cloak]

Yes, you're right there, however it's not a 'chosen' group 🙂

[near bloom]

There are three things we don’t have; ascension, incursions and new content. 🤣

[signal cloak]

however, perhaps with the right changes, that could be something 🙂

[late ermine]

The silver 3 daily chest is really hurting 🤣 and cs just closes ticket on me

[near bloom]

Did you try being good enough for gold?

[late ermine]

I was i think 🤣

[queen jolt]

I don't have an answer to this yet, Comics! 😦

[earnest raven]

@queen jolt Any update on MU Waves? S91 confirmed that it is still messed up. I thought today's client update was supposed to fix it?

[forest socket]

Is there an issue with assigning commanders?

[near bloom]

We can do those! 🤣

[near bloom]

Hopefully Thursday.

Not set in stone.

It’s only in stone when they’ve taken the servers down to do it.

My command center is lv 44 and I had Kirk and Spock assigned yesterday.

you have as much information as I do from the announcment the other day

[near bloom]

But we hope.

[late ermine]

Thanks thats all i need to know

[lusty marsh]

Idk, but building teams from the whole server would allow them to keep the PvP brackets tighter too, and provide more balanced fights. But what do I know 🤷🏼‍♀️

[near bloom]

I agree. This I think would be really positive.

Wouldn’t know, I’m not allowed to progress to the low level I need to be to get the ship for low levels.

[languid elm]

Yeah they told us today, they have the poor mods breaking the bad news and taking the grief for it. They should multiply their pay by 10.

You’re gonna have to step your game up, I reckon Jess has at least three complaints about me today.

You’ll never get paid if you’re not the most hated.

[languid elm]

Some of them get free battle passes and the monthly chest. According to my sources. 🤫

[silver parcel]

not the mods

maybe ccs

[late ermine]

Yea thats what i thought mods don't

[near bloom]

Your sources should go on your fish and chips.

[languid elm]

QA doesn’t exist so that would be the same as 0. We at least know there’s an attempt to code.

[gleaming lantern]

Why must I go through the tutorial again to get to the settings?

[queen scarab]

Dunno. Jess was rinsing you last night.

[swift anvil]

their math is as good as my girlfriends when it comes to how much she's going to spend on my credit card whilst shopping...

[near bloom]

Doesn’t surprise me.

[queen scarab]

Let me show her hows it done. Long number, exo date and 3 security numbers in pm please

[swift anvil]

she spends £200 on a dress that's normally £400 and says I should be grateful that she saved me £200...

[queen scarab]

Better add the address actually

[swift anvil]

she likes "saving" me money

[late ermine]

Kinda wild actually

[queen scarab]

And i cry if i have to spend more than a few quid on clothing item lol

[languid elm]

Well that’s why they call it the girlfriend experience.

[swift anvil]

oh yes, to be sure - gives me the evil eye if I dare spend £10 on me 🙂

[near bloom]

I saved £400 on the paint job of her £3000 bike frame by buying it from the painter.

That would be great

Compensation, the full battlepass for all the Game problem's, lag and maintenance

[lusty marsh]

ChronoX is right, there is a client update

[near bloom]

Ah, I see you share the same confusion as me about how you do backend updates with a client update. 😂

[queen scarab]

Ask your oh for a lesson in backend updates

[signal cloak]

well, there's still a client-update, even if that's to ensure the backend update works as intended

[boreal oasis]

they likely have to update the client to point to the backend changes

[signal cloak]

doesn't make it a backend update tho 🙂

[boreal oasis]

instead of you know, keeping them separate

[silver parcel]

Pauly said it was just backend updates, you calling him a liar?

[boreal oasis]

lol, do you really think they know, or that they are even told what's in the updates?

[signal cloak]

not saying he's lying, it could very well be interpretation; the client update that provides support for (future) back-end updates might just have been a too long of an explanation too 🙂

but inherently, back-end updates cannot be done client-side 🙂

[languid elm]

The presentation of the backend updates.

[near bloom]

Exactly 🙂

Ah, backend.
