Well I am very happy thanks to the Symbiosis event 🙂

[bleak anchor]

Tennessee by 7 was even better than I predicted! GO VOLS!!

[stark fjord]

where is our comp chest

[silent hollow]

I've got almost half the BP of the NX-01 thanks to this event

[grim thistle]

probably been posted before but cool https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=llvMv5-ydyQ

[stark fjord]

so someone told me earlier that a g4 ship can hit a level 56 survey I think not as they are 127m power

what is everyones enterprise d power before built

mine is 199m

compair that to the strongest ent-a you got

[iron grail]

With the right crew my Newton can hit a 56s fine

[coral sedge]

I routinely hit high level surveys with my Pilum a G4 rare to farm rep

[coral sedge]

AT least until I scrapped it

[tardy gust]

Question, would epic Jean Luc Picard give increase effectiveness of Jason Nesmith Apex Barrier abilitiy?

[tardy gust]

Nice! Enterprise D! Not the A

[rigid otter]

& trust me I had to buy my way out of the Juan & only black hole I encountered in this "gam€" about $400/U$D as I reckon

[turbid siren]

🤷🏻‍♂️

[graceful swift]

Yes.

[tardy gust]

Thanks

[stark fjord]

how do you even reach there with that ship its way out of warp rage even with a max tier ent -a with a required warp of 355

and you need the first two levels of the dicovery prime just to even have the warp range on that to summon that so you must have spend at least $150 to do that

[minor furnace]

NX 01 and find systems that have station hubs.

Which said system in the screenahot has.

Areal is one of the best systems to rep grind rom and klingon due to this

[glossy glacier]

question : is territory being cleared and reset again in 2 days (22nd)???

[split dagger]

territories are open for grabs... i'm sure other alliances probably already have started... 22nd is when the tc battlepass starts

[glossy glacier]

thats what im hoping, our server has started to take zones and would be annoying if it resets again in 2 days.

butttttt... ^^^

[split dagger]

that is messed up!!!!!

we already grabbed one on Friday and going to grab another today (sunday)... probably just continue and see what happens

[faint ridge]

Does anyone know who wants to start the alliance tournaments again?

[late ermine]

I thought 22 is when tc bp starts

Why will tc be reset 😅 maybe cs just don't know ?

[late ermine]

You mean when alliance tournament starts again ?

[faint ridge]

Yes

[late ermine]

I got no idea but will like to know when we gonna have the next run 😅

So will be nice if someone knows ( there might not be news available tho )

[split dagger]

do you guys ever click on the alliance button? if you click on it.... the arena button has a timer on it... it's currently set for 1d 15h

[late ermine]

Yes thats when it begins next right?

[fallow sage]

We got any details about this material claim prime?

[civic geyser]

#💬-general-feedback message there is this if any help

[meager cargo]

Who’s silly idea to put the claim all button right above where you claim for dailies individually?

[fallow sage]

Sweet yeah that was what I was curious about. Hopefully they up some of that. Looks great for me but an ops60 definitely low amounts

[lost sorrel]

Anyone having trouble logging in?

[near bloom]

Nope

[late ermine]

Are you referring to building mats claim one ? Its good if you are looking to get a scouting for war room mats gives 1500 other ones not a good ammount ....( scopely promised war room running every other week lol which already had a bad scouring now they don't even run the event ah ha )

https://tenor.com/view/copium-meme-pepe-frog-gif-26117735

[late ermine]

Don't think there's something like that in game right ? 😅

[sly canyon]

Ik

I am waiting

Till mirror spocky comes out I ain't gonna ops up to 30

I WILL DOMINATE MIRROR SPOCKY SLB

[late ermine]

😅 ok man weird but you do u

[sly canyon]

My goal is to run a full spock crew and kill ppl w it

[late ermine]

Theres already 3 spock 😂

[sly canyon]

I only have one unlocked

[late ermine]

Probably faster to get other 2 lol

I mean you do u just thought thats weird 😂

[sly canyon]

I have 45 tos spock shards

3 shards away from snw spock

Have instructor spock and normal spock

[devout herald]

it's not resetting again, Its the Territory Season Pass event that is starting on the 22nd,

[warm pivot]

with the exception of merged servers, they will get a second reset

[fallow sage]

Wish there was a way our server could opt out of the merge XD

[frail halo]

What ops-lvl do you have to be for the "unlock fc slot" to be available in the event store?

[civic geyser]

Been through one wish I could say it was enjoyable

[late ermine]

Ops 40

Might not be ops 40 tho ( i think someone in my alliance got it Below that )

Have you purchased fc slot either with money or with event store in past ?

[frail halo]

I'm lvl 25, and it's in my event store. But I have som guys under lvl 20, and they don't...

So I guess the question really is: Do it appear at lvl 20? 23? 25?

[late ermine]

Wasn't command centre something you unlock at 25 😅

[frail halo]

can't remember, been gone a looooong time from the game😅😅

And just checked, the building unlocks at lvl 15😇

[late ermine]

Ok so either offer is for players who are 25 or higher or maybe they already purchased one in past

[hot elm]

Test.

[frail halo]

That's what I wanna find out. Some of our players can rush to ops lvl 20 if they get it

[late ermine]

Thats probably won't happen

Iirc you might not get new stuff in store if you weren't already that ops lvl used to happen in past now sure this problem is still in the game

Event store might not refresh even if they ops up

[frail halo]

aha

Well that sucks for them😜

[late ermine]

But if i were them i will rush as fast i can no points being a ops 20 😅

[frail halo]

That's a good point for another day😅

[hallow moss]

Scopely another gripe🤦 PvP Arena is back, right!? Can we have Comms sorted for the PvP Teams, please don't tell us to use Discord. How can we strategies, one has to be strategic or is it the biggest and strongest ship will again own the Arena.

https://tenor.com/view/filing-shall-i-file-it-yes-minister-bureaucracy-gif-11042144

jesus only knows what will happen if they start tiddling about with the UI?

[thats being positive]

[fallow sage]

At least the claim all button is more reasonable in the dailies tab

[fringe plaza]

Not for me. I'm trying to build up Federation Rep, and the Claim All button would claim Romulan and Klingon as well, which would hamper things. It's quite useful, just not for me.

[obtuse nexus]

it was suggested a while back, that it would be great if we could delete daily tasks we didn't want, think now would be a good time to look at that

[fallow sage]

Did you not update? It's been moved lol

I mean. If you dont want to claim all. Dont hit the button. But it's not taking up a huge chunk at the bottom anymore and been moved to a new location and barely takes up room. Which is more what I was happy about. Thing was taking up too much room beforfe

[silent sedge]

Yes much better 👆🏻

[bleak anchor]

I updated and mine hasn't moved. Was curious if this was a troll thing but guess not. Maybe just select servers or regions?

[silver parcel]

it's not in the corner?

[bleak anchor]

Nope dead center bottom

Android mind you

[silver parcel]

might not have put the update out yet

should've been though

ios was the one that was delayed, android should have the update

[civic geyser]

Least it’s not cutting off the bottom anymore.

[bleak anchor]

Just did a max fortification to pop a claim

And this is app store updates tab

I mean it doesn't bother me I think we need WAY MORE claim all buttons

[ember ginkgo]

Will the war room be open during the arena?

[silver parcel]

unlikely

[bleak anchor]

Would be nice but doubtful I suggested the same thing

Would just make sense to run concurrent pvp events like those

<@&509690795536941056> Just a heads up.. If you hit the attack button on a player... Whether you attack them or not it is dropping your shield ...

[mortal elk]

Think it's always done that after you hit the confirmation, regardless of if you make contact

Stops you from triggering the sirens repeatedly without consequence

[silver parcel]

has always done that

[little violet]

It used to do that.. They fixed it.. Now it is doing it again

[woeful compass]

Afaik it drops when you start a battle not when you hit the button

[mortal elk]

Ships it drops on contact

[little violet]

I like it cause they used to run after a hostile and I had to do the shield confirmation over and over.. now once and it gone, but also what if you hit it on accident with a long shield 🤷

[little violet]

It is supposed to drop on contact.. It is not doing that now. If you hit attack from across a system your shield drops immediately.

[warm pivot]

plus if your enemy attacks you in return after you attackmove them, your shield stays up and bothers you again with the warning message ^^

[little violet]

Its not doing that anymore

[west matrix]

an update on the confusing time announcements for arena start on APAC servers ?

[little violet]

TIme posted is in your time zone

[silver parcel]

The announcement was fixed, it matches the in game timer, and is your time zone

[west matrix]

yes but time posted says it's 24h AFTER what the ingame timer says

also what ingame says is EXACTLY when it started last week... and it was supposed to be changed to start later in the day

[long prism]

I would suggest relying on the game timer over the announcement …

@west matrix

[silver parcel]

hamster updated the announcement

[warm pivot]

i`d like a timer to the next warroom and alliance tournament ^^

[silver parcel]

war room is slated during incursions, whenever that is

[little violet]

https://tenor.com/view/infinity-loop-infinity-symbol-gif-16359183

[silver parcel]

alliance tournament won't be back this month

[long prism]

So… I would suggest relying on the game timer or the Announcement 😂😂

[west matrix]

ok I see the announcement has been fixed to display the correct day now... the announcement says (for my time zone) it starts Monday 21st at 4pm... right now in my timezone it is just after 11 pm on sunday... so arena start SHOULD be just under 17h away... the ingame timer says it starts in 7h

it must be really hard for working professionals to read the clock right...

[near bloom]

I think it’s more “actually it’s really difficult to construct announcements when you have to do three time zone conversions or more”

[warm pivot]

only when you are eco

[near bloom]

Creating the event they have to turn what they want the event time to be into their working time zone. After that, comms teams have to turn it into their working time zone, then into epoch, then build an announcement out of it.

[little violet]

Not really.. There is discord time codes for regjons

[near bloom]

That’s not how the timestamp function works though, it works from epoch.

[west matrix]

it's not the discord timestamp that is the problem

that part has been fixed

[near bloom]

That’s what I mean though - and it’s especially an issue for US to APAC as it often involves crossing the date line.

[west matrix]

it's the fact that they ANNOUNCED the arena would start "LATER IN THE DAY"... yet the ingame countdown to arena start speaks a very different languague... according to this: they ANNOUNCED it would start later in the day... but it actually WON'T... it has 7h 30min left on the clock which means it will start EXACTLY at the same time as last week - DESPITE their announcement

[opal meadow]

Time is difficult in software. Most beginning programmers underestimate the complexity.

[near bloom]

Many experienced ones still struggle

[opal meadow]

So do not expect a group like Scopely to ever get it consistent or correct. 🤣🤣🤣

[wet anchor]

It looks like apac is actually at the same time, eu is 4h later and us is 2h later than last week.

But the time in the announcement seems consistent, it’s about 6.5h from now for apac which matches what the in game timer says for Lyra

Ohh I guess they’re in EU

[vernal jungle]

sooooo its going to be like war room maybe sometime sorta will show up once every quarter?

One of my mobile devices reset to new player status. Logged it back in to Scopely account and now, courtesy of the cloud, all my connected devices inclusive of the PC client have the reset experience. No bookmarks. Everything (crews, ships, missions, ata, ...) marked as new. Not how imagine the cloud working, but evidently Scopely thinks is just a-ok.

[merry lion]

I thought the new TC season launches on 10/22, so why are there territory captured already? Did I miss something?

[earnest raven]

Yes you missed something because they posted in the wrong spot. #⚡-mod-announcements message

[merry lion]

Not sure what you mean, it's stated 10/22 also.

[earnest raven]

Read it again and watch for the word tomorrow.

[merry lion]

I'm not sure what you are trying to say. I am merely stating that there are already territories captured on my server, so either Scopely screwed up on the date or they they didn't disable TC properly. I wouldn't be shocked if they either just let it go or wipe the territories clean again on 10/22.

[silver parcel]

Nothing was screwed up

[earnest raven]

On 10/16, they said TC will reset tomorrow.

[merry lion]

and usually new season gets launced on the date they stated, which is the time you can start with TC, I thought?

at least that's how it was done in the past seasons

[earnest raven]

That is an assumption. Read what was announced... despite being in the wrong place.

[steep aspen]

the Recruit Masriad Vael SLB says you can score by spending rare armada directives, but I didn't receive anything for starting a rare exchange armada. Is it just delayed, or is there something indicating what armadas actually count?

Exchange Armadas never did count before. It is:

Dominion Rare/Epic Solo Armadas

[steep aspen]

is there anything in game that tells you this, or is it just something you have to learn by wasting directives?

[shell crag]

Says spend regular directives

[earnest raven]

What is regular 😆

[shell crag]

Fkr directives

[earnest raven]

Then they should say FKR directives. I don't blame people for not getting it.

[steep aspen]

by that logic, neither borg solo armadas or dominion solo armadas would work, because it just says solo armada directives

[shell crag]

Officer auctions have been around before eclipse was a thing

And it says spend solo directives which are dominion and borg

Rare and epic

[normal elm]

there are plenty areas in game with descriptions assuming you know everything, not all players do

[steep aspen]

why does solo mean two different kinds of directives, but regular armada mean only one specific kind of directive

[shell crag]

Your inventory states rare eclipse directives, the word eclipse excludes using that for an slb. You don’t get that many points using directives anyway. It’s a complete waste to use your hard earned directives

[steep aspen]

why does the borg in borg solo armada directive not exclude it from counting?

where are the "regular armada directive", I see nothing with that specific name

[shell crag]

No extra wording, rare armada directives and epic armada directives

[steep aspen]

again, why does the borg in borg solo armada directive not exclude it from counting?

[shell crag]

Bc they are solo

Different category, they are classified as solo directives

[steep aspen]

given that the solo directive spending counts two different kinds of directives, why should we not expect the group armada category to also accept two different kinds of directives?

[shell crag]

Fkr and solo have counted eclipse never have counted. Please just accept that.

[steep aspen]

I have no choice but to accept that, can you not at least agree something should change?

either fix the event or fix the description

[shell crag]

Just like monaveen directives don’t count for anything. They won’t be changing wording for slb, they have other issues in game.

Spend materials and not directives, it’s simple.

[steep aspen]

there's a limited number of things I can reasonably spend resources on at my ops, and I happened to have directives for ~20 rare/epic exchange armadas saved because my stella research was ops locked, so its not that simple

[shell crag]

Eclipse count for apex Thursday, that’s about it

[quaint osprey]

Well dang that was quick 😅

[dry blaze]

Just got the nx01 and found out quick what a complete waste that grind is. Get just one warp cell a day and after 5 warp cells still don't have enough for just one refine,46/50k, to get half what I need for one upgrade, 150/185. Get bent.

[minor furnace]

Everyone starts that way. Just build up weekly and it gets 100x easier over time

[vague gull]

The first few teirs you’ll be doing single pulls (doubles will only happen if you get lucky with a few battleships). Prioritise getting the refit then you end up with more token then you ever need. The rewards from exborg store make the loop worth the pain and it becomes trivial at t6-7

[vernal jungle]

you need to get particle beam delay favor and critical dmg floor maxed before farming becomes reasonable

also drop crit % officers.

[void wolf]

I just traded in some field rations for elite rewards moments ago... but the rewards are for September not October????

Edit: I also just saw the field rations today - I've seen them before, but this appears to be a new batch

[solemn plaza]

If you have the crew for it then you just kill the battleships and then 1 kill sets you up with enough loot for like a week.

weekend hamsters

[queen scarab]

Not sure there's anyone in the office 99% of the time

[warm pivot]

they need an office pet 😄

[queen scarab]

They do. A bear. It ate everything

[warm pivot]

reptiles are good, you can leave them alone for a week

[queen scarab]

That's the scopely mantra on game bugs

[warm pivot]

yeah, just name the pet "feature" and leave it alone xD

[queen scarab]

Hope it becomes self sufficient

[warm pivot]

a spider maybe

[queen scarab]

Love a good spider though

creyfish? 😄

a "seabug" ^^

[untold ingot]

[queen scarab]

Don't like monkeys

[quasi ember]

7 pve chests from 50 swarms, this is unacceptable

i'm having problems convincing my alliance to collect the mission keys, they say they either don't have time or the rewards aren't worth anything.

[silver parcel]

There is zero excuse for "not having time" if they log in, they have time.

As for the rewards, if they're going to be selfish, find a new alliance or new members.

[quasi ember]

they claim they have so many other things they need to do in game, that remembering to collect keys is not on their list. there's too much in game they already have to skip due to time restraints.

[bright goblet]

People still care about lat monday? The events are a joke

[quasi ember]

on a dead apac servers, there's not much choice for alliances, even less choice for those with any english speaking players.

like no one on my server is doing the arena stuff, for 2 reasons, lag and time restraints.

[queen scarab]

Pray for a merge

[untold ingot]

we need account sitting for working people XD

[queen scarab]

Work? What is this? Lol

[untold ingot]

the time when you sleep :V

[queen scarab]

Sleep? What is this?

😂

[warm pivot]

a good hobby for money saving 😄

[queen scarab]

Ah that's where i am going wrong

[viscid fern]

My alliance did cause its 'must win everything kinda vibe'. Arenas being on Monday is the best thing ever cause its forced them not to really care 😂

[bright goblet]

😂 I already had people complain today. Makes me laugh. The SMS is done quickly alongside dailies the SLB pays nothing

[civic geyser]

Lat Monday is one trip with Feesha and over and even that’s a chore

[viscid fern]

Tried that argument many times to get them to ignore it, thankfully Scopely to the rescue 🎉

[bright goblet]

😂 sometimes scopely does something good

[slow mica]

When did they do that ?

[quasi ember]

we've had 2 mergers already, 198 into 199 and then 200 into 199.

never won an incursions, the scores aren't even remotely close

[bright goblet]

Arenas on Monday, Alliance Tournement. Sometimes they do something good

[civic geyser]

Praying we don’t get merged with you 😬

[slow mica]

Since when lol … last 2 alliance tournament has been wonky at best lol

Arena so far hasn’t failed

[bright goblet]

I enjoyed Alliance Tournements. Does it have problems. yes. But is it a great feature that needs to run every month to source really good stuff. Absolutely

[boreal oasis]

nah, this is easy to overlook - especially if you have to open up their store every time

[warm pivot]

we made it custom to remind everyone daily at eventreset (primetime on EU) when it comes to the missionkeys (in alliance chat)

[twilit lintel]

i do that before i even get on the game event or not lol

[boreal oasis]

forcing people to visit their store 🤷‍♂️

[civic geyser]

Everyone window shops doesn’t mean you have to purchase

[warm pivot]

you cant play this game and not be able to ignore certain advertisement

[thorn fjord]

Sure you can, it’s just willpower

[warm pivot]

you should be is what i tried to say xD

[coral quartz]

Hi, is there any solution to the bug where you get the "reward" for the unstable discoveries event every couple of min? I just get "you got 6000 chips" every 2 min! It is rather annoying

[thorn fjord]

You have to wait it out, it eventually stops once the event has gone from the list, so 24hr after it ended.

[boreal oasis]

sorry, i was assuming we were talking about the webstore daily mission key drop and not the in-game store

[twilit lintel]

@boreal oasis idk why u put money bags emote i dont pay for nothing

webstore key is free

[sharp egret]

Great job!

[boreal oasis]

you realize that the webstore key is outside of the game, and to go there you have to go to their "store" - store...

https://tenor.com/view/joke-missed-over-your-head-gif-8604199

ur joke is lame sorry

[boreal oasis]

lol, if that upsets you...

[near bloom]

Jokes don’t need explaining 😂

[twilit lintel]

why would it?

[boreal oasis]

it was more of a hint at to what you were missing

Complaining about STFC every day, while playing STFC every day 😂

In 5v5 at list we had fighting chance as there were 10 ships. like this is easy. GG whales. get your loot

Why did you have more chance against more whales hunting you?

o_O

[boreal oasis]

lol, so you think if a joke needs to be explained to you it's a bad joke, and nothing else?

sorry, that's funny right there

[near bloom]

See, now you get jokes 🙂

[sharp egret]

It was harder for them to follow every this

like this it is easy. just follow 3 ships that are in and u have 6 ships in

[twilit lintel]

a person trying to justify his joke that is funny but it was super lame he has to keep talking and trolling?

[cunning topaz]

congrats scopely. it's so much more fun when the bracket is evently matched. good job💩

[sharp egret]

and they will not score before time with less ppl in. so it will be 10min every time

[boreal oasis]

all good mate, birds of a feather

[twilit lintel]

joke was so lame it made me block someone lol

[sharp egret]

I got the same 💩

[earnest raven]

They probably should have decrease the timer to 7 minutes or make it 750 points to a win or something.

[cunning topaz]

there should be some cancel button. there is not brain cell left in scopely

[peak sedge]

mAtCheS wIlL bE faIReR wIth tHr33 pLaYerz

[twilit lintel]

so I guess the alliance tournament is gone?

[sharp egret]

For this and next month

[keen gust]

with 3v3 will be better balance, rather than 5v5 ._.

[peak sedge]

I aint spending money on speedups just to get obliterated by groups of G6 players. Good luck making money on this one

[sharp egret]

It looks like it is not

[hallow moss]

I'm sure you lot are being Trolled by Scopely, the real event will start soon🤦😮‍💨😎😂

[worthy wedge]

Class scopely just makes crap, changed to 3 player, but not the ops level, 9 up or down a laugh, the difference should be max 3 ops levels

[peak sedge]

Feels like we're being fed to G6 players to satisfy the big spenders. Cannon fodder anyone?

[twilit lintel]

op 60 getting matched with op 67 GREAT match making scopley lol

[peak sedge]

Afk 10 while the timer runs down

[boreal oasis]

yeah, it seems like there is a sweet spot with levels, still trying to figure out what

mid 50's seems like it will be tough

[hallow moss]

Saw a pic in Reddit ops60 v ops49 😂😂😂

[worthy wedge]

arena ops 54-68 😂 😱

[remote portal]

<@&509690795536941056> Why preemptively delay alliance tournaments for two months? This has never happened with something else that’s broken like incursions, they’ve always been cancelled one run at a time…

Yes, alliance tournaments had plenty of bugs, and they still worked better than 80% of other new features. And most players actually liked the concept, which is rare!

[worthy wedge]

we must all not play Arena!!!

[eager crypt]

as expect even worst pairing than with 5, pairing based on ops is very bad

[boreal oasis]

good rewards if you had an active alliance

hopefully they are looking into the mechanics

[twilit lintel]

The arena is trash bring back alliance tournament

[peak sedge]

THIS

At least add a "Concede" button to arenas. Being locked out of regular game play for 10 minutes is a killer

[remote portal]

Right, why be so insistent on iteration to improve arenas, and shove alliance tournaments to the backburner instead of doing the same? There are so few new features players are actually excited for

[worthy wedge]

5:5 was good, because ships also rep normally 2 min . the ops levels on + 3 and -3, then I play the arena, otherwise not 🙂

[peak sedge]

PVP is meant to be a real money spinner in these kinds of games. But I'm not encouraged to spend at all when my 500mil ships are getting battered by 5billl ships. There aint enough packs in the game to turn that into a winning scenario

[twilit lintel]

last time i did arena 41 vs 57 really i was like yeah not even gonna try one hit i'm gone

[sharp egret]

totally agree. +-3 for 3v3 is more then enough

[eager crypt]

only pairing on average power ships (without any research, officer, favors or...) is probably best solution (but this also have drawbacks but not so big as ops)

[untold ingot]

ops gab in arena is fürn popo

[keen gust]

BS never ends

[untold ingot]

40-48 lolz

41 joint arean kommt 48er farmt die inruhe weg

sinn los

[eager crypt]

I was in two (in one my was overpowered in second other was overpowered), and both are not fun

[untold ingot]

we had both times the same enemys

[hoary nimbus]

That match up is reasonable 🤷‍♀️

[fluid shore]

Can't make this stuff up....unbelievable.

[twilit lintel]

arena should be whales vs whales f2p vs f2p lol

[fallow sage]

This ones actually comically scopely

[peak sedge]

Not one of us can scratch the 2x 5 bil ships. Hardly

[civic geyser]

I’m neither so I don’t get to play 😢

[worthy wedge]

my time is too precious for !!!

[keen gust]

RLY??? SAY THAT 3 BIL AKIRA

[twilit lintel]

u dont play anymore?

[civic geyser]

lol no I’m not a whale or f2p I’m in between

[hoary nimbus]

@keen gust Are you expecting to win every match? 😂 others have posted actual tragedies on here. Yours was not one.

[near bloom]

I pity the fool.

[slow yacht]

Only good thing about the arena will be watching the whales moan that the cannon fodder gave up bothering and the feature is dead.

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

[keen gust]

I'm expect fair fight, i can deal even with 58 lvl. But can't do a S agains akiras and 5+ cubes of g6 players/ Where on earth g5 vs g6 is balanced??

[oak basin]

the balance that scopely mean is their bank balance, and as long as it goes up, that's all they're fussed about

[main quartz]

So far not really an improvement. Arena1 trivially easy and the others gave up, Arena2 impossible to compete.
I just don't think those goldilocks battles are possible with the way pvp is setup in this game.

[peak sedge]

And it won't. How are they making money out of this?

There simply isn't a pack in the game that will allow a G5 player to kill a G6 player

[smoky trellis]

Speaking of balance...

Balance and stfc are not feasible within the same sentence

[keen gust]

MB you take some brains, and as 42lvl\g4 player don't bring with you g5 players?

I'm as g5 takes g5 player with me, and expect also meet g5

[fluid shore]

You expect to meet G5 and meet a squad of mid G6's

[peak sedge]

As for the "There aren't enough G6 players to match them against eachother"....all of my matches have been against G6, there certainly looks like there's plenty of them

[fluid shore]

Who made that argument

Shameless

[near bloom]

Probably worth cutting the names from those screenshots or deleting them. 🙂

[smoky trellis]

Well I made my point clear, I hope

[keen gust]

And those not are arena screens. so no point.

[keen gust]

also you in WAR with that alliance, what you expect, they won't attack you? bcs you small?

[civic geyser]

Balancing might get worse when there is less player base actually playing arena

[smoky trellis]

I mean the whole game is unbalanced. You can't expect arenas being what the game is not

[fluid shore]

It wasn't this terrible last week

Terrible but not this terrible

[remote portal]

The whole game is unbalanced, but they also don’t have to make changes that make it noticeably worse… 😆

[boreal oasis]

they also have the ability to create more balance, but don't

[smoky trellis]

So you're telling me that you find fair that a 300M strength ship can fight Vs. a 3M? War or no war is not the question

[near bloom]

Bring your miner home and attack that 300M ship with your real ship.

🤷🏻‍♂️

[smoky trellis]

At level 42 what ship can fight a 300M? Please enlighten me

[civic geyser]

Don’t think my mayflower would take it out

[peak sedge]

Why are you trying to fight 300m ships in the open world?

[untold ingot]

the power cap is crazy lvl 41 vs 48 is sinnfrei 16m ship vs 42 m powwer pfft

1 player off the other team can solo the incamming enemys

[signal pewter]

42 mil is weak for a 48. Level doesn't mean everything. Dude research is low

[untold ingot]

if you would bring players to equal power for the arena would make sense but this is not even attend worth

yeah was just his little ship ^^

[signal pewter]

They said prior the 1st few times would be mismatched

Need to build up for the algorithms

[main quartz]

yep Arena2 is just as 💩 as the 1st run. Just getting slapped around by a 2B G6 ship with a speed crew 😦

you just can't mix G5 and G6, or G4 and G5

[signal pewter]

Meh g4 can beat g5 tbh

[boreal oasis]

they honestly should have just left it open for a week so that these numbers could actually accrue - limited runs and a lot didn't even participate last run

[signal pewter]

I couldn't form a team but saw many of the matchups

Some were good many were bad.

[main quartz]

occasionally you get a good match. The majority are bad.

mining monday is more fun than arena.

[peak sedge]

100% G5 vs G6 so far

[signal pewter]

I've seen otherwise

Do it or ignore it. Nothing is forcing u too

[boreal oasis]

to me it's more that they lock progress behind these walls

[signal pewter]

Even if it's g5 v g5 u'll have ppl with all the primes and ft's wiping everyone that doesnt

[peak sedge]

But you stand a fighting chance. Fortify, Cerritos, Mantis

[signal pewter]

Was a g4 player on my server that could easily wipe my vorcha and northcutt for that reason

[minor furnace]

Heck. I won 2 games in a row against a major ship tier disavantage since I did my job of letting my lower ops doing armadas while I cover them. Too many with skill issues.

[sharp egret]

matching is getting better after few ganes, 1st match is just terible. they probably reset the system

[minor furnace]

I was killing their Q'Soms and Sanctus with my northcutt... it was a great time

[main quartz]

you try skill vs a 2B 450impulse ship.

[minor furnace]

As long as I distract them from the objectives, I have done my job.

[signal pewter]

Bad crews and or research that will happen

[minor furnace]

Work Smart, not hard

[tough vapor]

@queen jolt The 8h duration for arena is not cool. There are people here who would like to participate, but also have a job, you know.
It should be extended to at LEAST 12 hours.

[minor furnace]

Both games the enemy was too focused on PVP that they lost points

an ops59, 57, 56....

[boreal oasis]

lol, basically just get lucky then

[distant crypt]

No sms paired with the arena event?

[minor furnace]

While I was 55, a 50 and a 53 with me

[sterile fox]

Still a bit off with the matchmaking...

[distant crypt]

The 3v3 play style has made the matches longer - so more screen time needed

[oak basin]

as einstein said, " only two things are infinite, the universe, and a whale's capacity to make bad spending decisions. i'm not sure about the universe "

[north torrent]

In my Alliance just: Own OPS-Range possible to participate: 42-56 - oppenont players are OPS 62. Which kind of time-wasting BS* is that?

[gray lintel]

Yeah that silver rank makes a difference.. But 149 v 171 is not that big difference

[north torrent]

and like i though and have allready critisized: 3v3 does need more time then 5v5, less posibilities to help each other. BS too.

I did hat now the same: Opened by a 59, max range we could put it: OPS 65. Opponent: one 60, 2x OPS 68 ....

[mellow sequoia]

👀 my Terran store computer shop assistant 💇‍♀️ says No 👀 😬

https://tenor.com/view/computer-says-no-carol-beer-no-way-little-britain-trendizisst-gif-14015902623456325888

[sterile fox]

Not sure where the numbers come from 😅

[modest echo]

3 v 3 seems much better now.
While matchmaking is not always even, it does not prevent wins against stronger opponents.

[earnest raven]

I'm just going to get in, kill 1 hostile and just go afk...

[late ermine]

Definitely

Won more than a few like that one was against ops 64 aswell

[tame cypress]

"...... to improve matchmaking we make it 3v3........"

[late ermine]

Win is possible but 3v3 makes it hard because now its easier to find 3 big ops instead of finding 5 big ops also makes it one sided if you can't run away

The matchmaking have certainly gone downhill with 3v3

[warm pivot]

the reason might be, that now the higher players might actually be able to participate with a ranking of 0

give it time

[late ermine]

Well had more than few like this 😅 actually never got a favorable match today

Won a lot probably because we played it well

[north torrent]

Again: Max OPS my Squad can is 65 - so our 66 is not able to join and help. But we get then 66 opponents. Where is there any balancing???

[fallow sage]

I dont think Scopely even realizes the power difference between ops

[peak sedge]

8 matches, 8 G5 vs G6. Not enough G6 players my hairy white poop hole

[fallow sage]

Like. An ops 45 vs an ops 52 can be a HUGE difference. Same with G5 vs G6

[woeful compass]

even the difference between 59 and 60 is huuuuuge

[fallow sage]

Arena just wont work the way they developed the game.

[warm pivot]

guys... dont fight bigger ships, avoid em...

[woeful compass]

two out of three times i'm up against multiple maxed g5 epics

[cunning falcon]

Really balanced matches 😢

[coarse ferry]

Well, we had an ops 67+63 plus 61 😂vs. Me ops 60, ops 59 and ops 56. Not so sure

[warm pivot]

do a npc to cancel their attack

[late ermine]

No not really g5 rares can easily beat g5 epic if they are not maxed 😅

[woeful compass]

then oyu are lucky

[late ermine]

Had more than a few fight like that won all only lost those we were against ops 60+

[coarse ferry]

My problem lag this time 🙈 my ship joined the arena and I did not see it flying somewhere. Stod still 🙈

[late ermine]

Never lucky didn't get 1 single good matchmaking all again odds won because we played well

[woeful compass]

well getting hunted by a 2B rotarran is not fun even when I have speed crew and I'm out of instant repair stuff

and the lag is crazy

[pine haven]

Well, this arena is much worse than before. Gj on the "balance"

[woeful compass]

got hit multiple times while the 10s armada countdown was active

[late ermine]

Yea but if you plan it well forti yourself cerritos then sting enemy its possible atleast what we did 😅

[rigid otter]

'in the 3D beta is there a gravitational lensing adjuster module available - keep picking up nanoBH aft, etc. ?

[late ermine]

What 😅 ?

[rigid otter]

Opps, buffer phART fm the 3D beta grp

[queen jolt]

For my EU peeps, can you add your feedback to arena 2.0 to #1295263579511197726 thankyyy

[late ermine]

i think we have a bot here

[queen jolt]

so we still have issue with scheduling and matchmaking

[rigid otter]

0h the b0t game, chase the fed & all those cubbies ... i'm 'in

[peak sedge]

9 matches, 9 G5 vs G6 matchups. How long is it meant to take for the "first few unbalanced" matches to go away?

[main quartz]

https://tenor.com/view/hands-up-working-as-intended-smile-move-fingers-gif-17763806

[boreal oasis]

should open it up for awhile just so that ELO accrues and matchmaking gets better

[peak sedge]

I'm at the point of just joining these and going afk for 10 minutes. Not a fun experience

[late ermine]

Never goes away lol atleast with 5vs5 i saw some good matches today 0 lol played like 20 total litrally 0 this time

[fallow parrot]

Silent hostiles are BROKEN, I kill, kill, kill and NO loot

[late ermine]

U sure u didn't reach hostile limit ?

Theres a 2k hostile limit

[pine haven]

"No access"

[pine haven]

But they "improved" it!

[sterile fox]

How about this one?

[peak sedge]

It gets to a point where its just offensive

Please suffer for 10 minutes so our G6 whales can have their fun

[fallow parrot]

forget about that, that may be the case

[earnest raven]

Make it 24 hours please. Scheduling is always going to be a problem for somebody since people work and sleep at different hours.

[coarse ferry]

Do I have to be blue for this 😃

[peak sedge]

No, make it shorter. Like 30 minutes

At 1am

[queen jolt]

just need to pick your region role on id:customize

[earnest raven]

5 minutes @ 3:07 AM

[simple wadi]

just remove the garbage from the game until you fixed pvp... gift everyone max terran faction and credits to buy everything to max in the shop

great matchmaking algorythm again... well done Scopely!

[civic geyser]

How’s everyone’s day going having Fun

[rancid cosmos]

So lucky we will always have mining monday to ignore this Arene bs ( bs is an understatement)

[crude phoenix]

afking these seems to be a thing now

[sharp egret]

it is easier to find 2 afk partners 😄 fast 12 games 🙂

[pine haven]

So I picked role/region and now can only see like 3 channels. This seems... better?
By "better" I mean like "we've improved matchmaking"

[sterile fox]

Aaaaand another...

[pine haven]

Oh, I see. I have to manually resub to every channel. Amazing

[pine haven]

It's unplayable unless you're a whale. Scopley went and Scopleyed it

[warm pivot]

i know these guys ^^, just run from JIN 🤣

[crude phoenix]

this matchup thing is still bad.. very bad

[near bloom]

Wait, what, they were higher ops and you still won? 👀

[warm pivot]

its all about, are they able to click in the right moment to target your ship or are they not

better performance and less lag makes a win

within reasons, a fresh 40 against a 70 with double speedcrew will never have a chance

[urban needle]

There's not much positive to say about the game anymore.
It's all about the friends and they are leaving.

Matchmaking is garbage as predicted. Looks like nobody really thought about how it's done.

[sterile fox]

@queen jolt yet another...

[sterile fox]

We almost had them, ask about Ivor

[warm pivot]

nice

[near bloom]

https://tenor.com/view/your-language-is-offensive-watch-your-mouth-zach-galifianakis-gif-13885320

[night frigate]

So seems as though matchmaking is still broken

For Arena

It looks as though the Arena leaders for each team will also be seperated by -7 or +7 Ops levels

So Team 1: Ops49 leader could match with Team 2: Anyone between Ops42 - Ops56 as leader

Great matchmaking

[hot sandal]

I could make it a damm more offensive 😂

[north torrent]

Thats the most logic explanation for what is happening - it does check only if the both leader are in range of each other and not the group. if first is low, second is high that resulats that the later can bring players much higher then

[humble drift]

We had the same problem before 😊

[night frigate]

I have just seen a screenshot of.... Team 1 Ops63 leader, Team 2 Ops43 leader

[remote portal]

There’s a screenshot above of a match with leaders 12 levels apart

[night frigate]

That's a 20 Ops difference

[sterile fox]

Yeah, a tad mental eh? 😅

[night frigate]

https://gyazo.com/08b6c50180b49a4e174742d8aa3f2b84

This match up is worse, lol

Team 1: Ops56 minimum

Team 2: Ops47 maximum

[remote portal]

Yup, even worse

[sterile fox]

That shouldn't even be possible

[north torrent]

but its happening all the time!

[hot sandal]

What the holy bejesus is that I thought mine were bad

[north torrent]

unplayable atm!

[night frigate]

So any leader could possibly match with another leader that is 20 Ops higher

Completely fair matchmaking right?

But don't worry

Everything is tested...... Before release.....

Isn't that what they say?

Lol

[west matrix]

I don't know what you are all trippin' about... they said the opposing team will be of similar average ops level... the ops level on both teams are in arabic numerals and they are all two digit ones... if that isn't similar enough for guys, then scopley can't help you...

[silver parcel]

average ops + ranking

[north torrent]

The Ranking fits - thats equal each. OPS doenst, and that cant be intended.

[silver parcel]

That one shouldn't be possible

[night frigate]

Screenshot says otherwise, I haven't even done an Arena yet, but still

20 Ops level difference for leader..... Not right

[near bloom]

I’m wondering how much of this is short term pain based on how much they’ve weighted rank vs ops, but some of the ones I’ve seen including the recent one above could do with being “no suitable match”

[night frigate]

Rank should not come into question, it should only be Ops level based

[white relic]

lol, looks like the arena is as much of a pile of 💩 as it was last time

[remote portal]

If everyone else is fed up with how bad matchmaking is and have stopped bothering, we’re going to see even more bad pairing because there’s nobody else in the queue at all…

[white relic]

those matchups do seem entertaining ... for the whales

[dire cape]

Do you think arena battle is very hard lvl ?

[white relic]

but i guess all in all PvP is going to stay the same - representative of $craply stance towards it

[north torrent]

Looks to me much like that only the rank of the league is taken into account and OPS are not in any way.

[near bloom]

Disagree, but it certainly shouldn’t be skewing things such that some of these matches go ahead.

[white relic]

it should be OPS and rank, no reason a 42 is matched against a team with a 69

[near bloom]

Yeah, ops doesn’t seem to have enough weight to me but then there’s the other side as things “mature” where a camped/strong ops level is much, much, much more effective than a fresh ops level, and ranking will need to cure that.

[boreal oasis]

yeah, they should put more weight in ops matching

[thorn narwhal]

First Arena, as last Monday I was on vacation….and last

[uneven cloak]

Seems balanced

[west matrix]

forget all that "similar average" nonsense... someone who is ops 56+ with access to g5 rare ships shouldn't be unleashed on a team of players below ops 56... I don't care if it's "similar or not" you can have three people ops 55 vs a team of 2x ops 55 and 1x ops 56... the guy at 56 with his rare ship will win the arena single handedly every time assuming all other things being equal... same thing with the folks who have access to g5 epic ships and it's even worse there... I don't understand what is so hard to comprehend about this... allow teams of 3 who are all within one ops range of the same ship tier (49-52, 53-55, 56-59, 60-62, 63-65...) that way everyone involved would at least have ACCESS to the same grade and rarity of ships... how well those are developed is everybody's own business... but have someone who is invested in the game and works on his ship/crew/research face teams with ships that are twice as strong or even more and alienate those people... way to turn folks away from the game

[near bloom]

Disagree.

But it shouldn’t be that the difference is so vast as to be insurmountable.

[charred canopy]

But those at that level have likely paid more for their goodies, so they get to have the deck stacked more in their favor.

[near bloom]

How many of us run around showing all our “punching up” kills, taking out Tingas with Sallies etc, then want to play the “all things equal one ship type higher is insurmountable”?

It shouldn’t be early or even ideally mid G5 vs G6 averages, but “55s shouldn’t play against a 56” pffft.

[vapid fern]

https://media.tenor.com/tXUh3cfk9BoAAAAM/trendizisst-drama-llama.gif

[boreal oasis]

i'm sure there are likely outliers, but generally this should be how it's done or at least a big part of matchmaking take into account

i'll take the outliers as opposed to all of them

[charred canopy]

Just use the average level or PD of the group to match them to a similar group.

[sterile fox]

Yeah, that's just daft...

[west matrix]

best pvp crew out there vs an impulse crew... good comparison 👍 even if you could do that against a pvp crew as well... first of all you can do that ONCE while the guy you defeated can probably wipe out the other 5 ships in your squad before you win - or upon repairs... this match up, with that ship being as much developed as it is... I guarantee you, you are in a very very small minority of players who can do things like that... this does NOT represent the average player or the majority of players...

[white relic]

55 vs 56 woould be fair, 42 vs 69 is not, under any circustance

[near bloom]

Indeed.

That’s my point.

[north torrent]

Right. But there are limits. Beeing in a Squad with max 65 OPS and 63er Ships and meeting a 70 with a 70 Ente-E of 76b Power?

[earnest raven]

3 vs 3 addressing matchmaking issues? Pepperidge Farm remembers!

[near bloom]

Indeed.

[earnest raven]

https://tenor.com/view/rip-coffin-black-ghana-celebrating-gif-16743302

[west matrix]

for SOME a fight 55 vs 56 would be fair... IF you camped on 54 or 55 for a while and "wasted" much more rss/mat into your ship than you should in order to progress faster... for MOST the 56s with their rare ships will wipe the floor with them

[near bloom]

You assume that a 56 has the rare ship

There are some who don’t get it until 57

🤷🏻‍♂️

Complaining about ops-adjacent fights is pretty foolish in light of the pictures doing the rounds.

[west matrix]

that is why I said it should be people with ACCESS to the same tier/grade/rarity of ships...

if you actually have them... how well developed they are... that's on the players

[white relic]

i guess the obvious best match making would be to remove all FT and artifacts effects from arena and only match the same ops level. prove me wrong

[near bloom]

I have been enlightened on just how much power is locked in artifacts.

[torpid charm]

Only had time for 5 matches when arena first came out. It had issues, lots if them, but I actually found it fun. This time around, no fun at all.

[near bloom]

Massive differences.

[rotund ginkgo]

how the hell should i beat a rotarran 😄

[west matrix]

if you say you skip a g5 unc... that's on you... can't complain then... but if you are trying your best and have good ships only to be put down three arena leagues cause you are constantly loosing to people with just one ops higher than you which results in facing ships that are simply unbeatable (again: for the vast majority of players) ... THAT is foolish

[near bloom]

Battle triangle will do most of the work of an uncommon vs a rare of same group.

[flat knoll]

spend more 🙂

[earnest raven]

Blame Tom when you lose.

[mental mauve]

That's absolute nonsense scopely - 3 56s against 2 64s and a 60 in the arena!

[faint briar]

Are invasions also dead content? Its been 3 weeks for content that was advertised as every-other-week.

[earnest raven]

Supposedly tomorrow

[viscid fern]

I dunno about artifacts but I know the FT's are massive, we could really use some more sourcing of Fusion Rods, or better still remove them and allow us to switch at will.

[thorn narwhal]

💯

[stark fjord]

so I am using the 3 borg epic crews for mining ( 3 of 11, 4 of 11 and 11 of 11) on my g4 mining ship ( only currently got the hydra ) but it still takes over and hour to do events 😦

[hollow herald]

Arenas are still 💩

I get the bands have to be big to match teams but when you have a level 50s team getting put against a 60s team it just doesn’t work and isn’t fun for anyone

[solemn plaza]

Use 3/2/10 on hydra and mine gas.
Or just goto a token system.

[stark fjord]

so a miner hit me last night and took out my miner and a feesha?!?

[exotic kraken]

When is the Halloween event for Star Trek Fleet Command

[steel sphinx]

Arena: yet another event where scopely thinks of nothing and further increases the imbalance between players

[earnest raven]

They have a PVP crew on.

[buoyant jacinth]

Matching is awful,ops 66 against an ops 58

[stark fjord]

that was an ops 42 player vs ops 50 player 🤯

[civic geyser]

So I often punch up against bigger players

[solemn plaza]

Research research research. Plus they have a meta pvp crew on and the feesha actually hits really hard compared to the faction miners.

[buoyant jacinth]

Nice, can an Scopely Programmer come to a fight with sticks? And the opponent with a machine gun
It's like that

[spare ether]

Hey. In the Terran store, are the possible favor options based on your current ranking or the highest you achieved? For example, if someone was in Gold but fell back to Silver, does the store still offer Gold favors, or do they become unavailable?

[sleek orchid]

arena recalls miners, but forget to gives points in dailies and lat event.

[iron pivot]

why do others have allships above our joining limit? Fair Chances? or bought winners?

[sleek orchid]

programmers should must learn to program correctly

[iron pivot]

or how to fight as lvl 42 a lvl 63?

[warm pivot]

the matchmaking is less of a problem than the performance, IMO @queen jolt
it was at least controlable when you didnt rubberband 😦

[night frigate]

Claim all is breaking my game every day

https://i.gyazo.com/thumb/1200/641a574f2b67c0969d7dd9ad67a71ae5-png.jpg

Clearly I have enough, but will it let me refine? No

https://gyazo.com/5452a8bcce63bae3c354a8a7c9d702bd

Same for swarm refinery, can't refine that either

[flat knoll]

such fair game 56 vs 65 ....

[urban needle]

100% Garbage

[hot sandal]

That's pretty good tbf from what everyone else is getting 🤣🤣

[ivory dove]

at least you have a G6 player on your team, who has at least a small chance of being able to do some good.

[near bloom]

Yeah I’m not gonna defend some of those pairings but that’s a “suck it up buttercup” moment

[hollow root]

and again ,these people at scopley can't get anything done, take your job seriously damn it

[night frigate]

https://gyazo.com/b549182971c1f01d7ee2f267658640bc

https://gyazo.com/a20485dce7f83ef9740bbe7cb8b5250f

Sigh

[hot sandal]

I ran out of buttercups last year

[night frigate]

Always bugs

Can't do any of my refines as the game thinks I have no resources when clearly the screenshots show that I do

[night grove]

scopely you call these fair fights ? you and your wallet warriors can keep arenas to yourselves. matching is worse than random draws out of a black bin liner

[cursive sphinx]

Dunno if I'm just missing it or what -- in the PC Client, the only option for zoom is mouse wheel but I use a trackball that doesn't have a mouse wheel. Is there any "hidden" binding for that, or any way to assign another key? +/-, for example, or Pg.Up/Pg.Down?

Been playing on Bluestacks because I can't rebind that but I'd much prefer to use the desktop client if I can

[night grove]

Q to zoom and E to expand

[night frigate]

What brand mouse do you have?

[deep eagle]

eu arena lag is next level

[night frigate]

There are some apps you can use where you can assign your trackball direction as mouse wheel up or mouse wheel down

[dusky cove]

I can't wait until arena's are as dead as assaults, just another P2W feature with the paid repair speedups and **** rewards for the time spet on them

[cursive sphinx]

I use the Marble Man Trackball, Logitech used to make them but discontinued, saves my wrist with working on computers all day 🙂 I've tried the alternate binding apps but they're fiddly and it wasn't working in the STFC Desktop Client

[cursive sphinx]

E takes me to Ship Construction and Q takes me to the pay store

[night frigate]

I think you are not using the MOD?

[cursive sphinx]

Considering I don't know what you're talking about, the answer is no...? =p

[stark fjord]

so why does not many use manis or franlin-a in waves

[silver parcel]

strong enough ship and you don't need them, plus they're useless against the majority of the hostiles

[near bloom]

Yay, don’t even need to double tap 🤣

[broken void]

Nice !

Would love to understand Scopely Matchup calculations

[viscid fern]

Avoidance strat can work 😂

[near bloom]

Don’t post that here, people be outraged

[civic geyser]

That’s witchcraft 🧙

[viscid fern]

Had another close one against a 63, its bloody tough mind. Especially if the cotton on to what you're doing

[near bloom]

More of a sense of achievement if you do it though

[viscid fern]

That was my 3rd/4th in the row as the highest ops on my team that matched us against a G6, so it does seem to have that tendency

[pastel knot]

love this bugs

[dapper sandal]

love that 52...

[dusky cove]

arena's are just the newest way to stroke the ego of whales

[dull frigate]

@unborn urchin Take your pvp and don’t waste my time

[near bloom]

Don’t do it then

[stark fjord]

my franklin-a tier 11 has 800X ( 80,000 % ) damage per swarms which means my 553k damgae per round becomes 442m

[near bloom]

Magic thing about these are they’re completely opt in.

[dull frigate]

Stopped it. .. 🙌

[simple violet]

The problem with the optional part, if you don't do them, you miss out on quite a lot of stuff, stuff that will be very helpful, but who cares so long as the whales can crap on people with little effort right.

[broken vector]

The arena event is dead for me since we got mismatched too often with too strong opponents.

[broken void]

moaning aside, PVP Arena - Best thing since Starbase Assaults, credit where credit is due

[civic geyser]

Bring back the worms

[simple violet]

Put the whales in their own bloody arena, and let everyone else stand a chance

[left crypt]

just need to wait for the whales to move to diamond and all the rest is good

[broken vector]

I had a group starter a level 44 plus a 48 and a 49 matched against a 56, a 55 and a 52 absolutely nonsense.

[simple violet]

Nah it needs to be ops bracketed like it should have been in the first place, all this crap about ranks is pathetic.

[fickle latch]

The ranks is just another pain for the faction store. If you loose a match you loose rank points which effect what you can get from the store. Just make it faction rep level based like the others and that would be a big improvement.

[queen scarab]

Managed 2 matches this week. Tbh i am bored already

Taken ages to get a group of 3 then getting matched with much lower ops so not even a real fight 🤷

No real interest on my server by the looks of it overall let alone in my alliance

[pine haven]

Matchmaking is cross server. It's just that without an event, and with these horribly one sided matchups, no one cares anymore. Already

[queen scarab]

Yeah that's what i meant

[simple violet]

Match making is such a joke I think Scopely would have more chance of running an arc without a single new bug

[true oyster]

If you want to leave the group... You can't... What is this?

[stark fjord]

I am not able to get the last milestone on unstable discoveries I am currently 1000/2000 with 6 days left

[queen scarab]

Think its just whoever is available at this point rather than any actual match making lol

[queen scarab]

You have missed events then

At 1500/2000 and not done todays yet with 6 days 21hr remaining

[stark fjord]

I missed 4 or 5

[queen scarab]

Then you can't complete it lol

[steel sphinx]

This arena is a real aberration, did scopely really listen to the players to improve the rules or did they do as usual to frustrate the players a little more?

[queen scarab]

Theres rules? Lol

[fickle latch]

Of course they didn’t listen to the feedback, they never do 😂

[queen scarab]

Think most folk doing waves. Better returns

[queen scarab]

I will quote Bek. The feedback is unclear ...

[fickle latch]

She said that? Wow. All they have to do is read here……..

[spiral coral]

Frustrating part of the arena is so many rewards tied to ranking and keep loosing so lose rankings as being a lvl 54 getting matched against g6 players

[queen scarab]

In one of her videos ages ago. Never watched one since as it was such a ridiculous statement

[civic geyser]

Think that is one of the issues I think people might not care so much about losing if it didn’t affect the ranking and store

[serene drum]

Arena is still not to do.....

[hazy hamlet]

the feedback is unclear because despite all the complaints, spenders keep spending

[steel sphinx]

It is clear that they have made the low level cannon fodder for the big payers.

[queen scarab]

Both just life

Sadly

[spiral coral]

Tie all rewards to rep and just use ranks for bragging rights then it will be an improvement

[serene drum]

As a small alliance impossible to start and if you got 3 players your being beaten by strong players

[earnest raven]

Have you considered joining a bigger alliance?

[hazy hamlet]

Have you considered playing a better game?

[ripe rock]

Arena is the worst feature added to this game in years.

[queen scarab]

Strong statement

Incorrect

[serene drum]

Oh oh think your going to be muted by the moderator or the evil scamely

[queen scarab]

Def worse features lol

[ripe rock]

If you say so.

[queen scarab]

It works

Lol

[spiral coral]

Arena is a good concept but like most things badly implemented

[queen scarab]

I mean its very simple and mundane repetitiveness

[mystic gust]

I've tried constructive criticism so many times but nothing does the trick. They just keep adding mechanics that don't work even though they "beta tested" them. Sure. I've got lags that make it unplayable and a matchmaking.... I don't know why I have to compete against Ops 69 as a 58.

[queen scarab]

Everyone wants a 69

[spiral coral]

Needs better matching ie only +- 3 ops more repair speedups - none this week and just rep based rewards

[serene drum]

Yepni know I was 7 days on muted because I said something bad about scamely

[earnest raven]

Except Scopely. They are going to destroy server 69 soon.

[queen scarab]

Server 69 sucks

[mystic gust]

In their own team maybe... But it's 58 +/-7 lvl and for the other team this doesn't seem to be a limit at all.

[hazy hamlet]

isnt that the appeal?

[queen scarab]

Shhh snuck that through

[serene drum]

It's the worst feature the whole arenas I'll skip en don't do it anymore

[queen scarab]

Dont let the mods see

[earnest raven]

If you don't want to do it, then do it by joining and hitting 1 hostile and go afk. Easy way to gain currency by going afk

[steel sphinx]

how can he not understand that having a G6 ship fight a G5 is counterproductive. aren't these people graduated with a certain level of education?

[civic geyser]

lol love your alliance much

[pine haven]

The g6 has fun. That's all they care about

[left crypt]

Like I said just wait for the whales to move gold and diamond and let them fight among themselves

[dusky bane]

Matchmaking is the worst in have ever seen. 56 against 64.🤬

[queen scarab]

I lie. Its broken lol

[earnest raven]

That is only 8 levels. Did you see the screenshot of 18+ average levels difference?

[queen scarab]

Having to restart to see if fixes it

[dusky bane]

No i dont.

[queen scarab]

Nope. Cant enter the match now lol

Karma there

[steel sphinx]

Well, it's not fun for everyone, so yet another stupid event.

[pine haven]

Preaching to the choir, my dude.

My matchups all had 64s in. Our highest was 57.

[queen scarab]

Dunno who has fun killing the smaller ops

I certainly don't

[pine haven]

People who spend thousands a month for this "game"?

Like, it's their entire business model

[steel sphinx]

14 levels difference in the same event is becoming more and more ridiculous

[twin acorn]

Yep it's official, arena is yet another rubbish scopely idea. Well done 👏

[queen scarab]

So you're on the fence

[foggy parrot]

A lot of ppl struggle with the fact that the level of the starter for the squad has zilch to do with the level range in the other team, apart from their contribution to the weighting

[simple violet]

Arenas are worse than Starbase assaults

[mental mauve]

ever and ever and ever again... wtf?

[split storm]

So Arena is balanced

[split storm]

i just had the same.

[pulsar plank]

😡😡

[left crypt]

so are the territories reseting again on the 22nd or just the start of the TC bp

[foggy parrot]

avg ops of 56 and silver vs avg ops of 61 and bronze 🤷‍♂️

[queen scarab]

What do you think

[mental mauve]

thats total crap! what should i ever do against an 6* ship 3 times stronger than me

[left crypt]

I think it is same Scopely gibberish that doesn't say one thing or another

[queen scarab]

Ok

Its pretty clear but hey ho

[left crypt]

so a week to get territories only to be reset again......

[queen scarab]

Lol

[foggy parrot]

why would you think they'll be reset again?

[civic geyser]

Start of the new pass unless you are one of the servers merging

[queen scarab]

Where does it say that lol

[shell crag]

Only reset is server mergers

[timber valve]

Is the artifact to remnant refinery broken? Have the extras in my inventory but the refining option isn’t popping up. Already tried clear localizations and restart.

[foggy parrot]

yes they are 60+ but still it's only 5 ops level difference. and your players have been winning more than theirs based on the rankings. and it's also just the 2nd week

[mental mauve]

next one, are u kiddin me?

[queen scarab]

It does make the world make sense though with the things said in here at times

[left crypt]

that is the reason for the question they are non-specific about anything and don't say a word one way or nother

[split storm]

Thats...woooow

[timber valve]

Ranked silver and complaining #FirstWorldProblems

[queen scarab]

#⚡-mod-announcements message

[warm pivot]

i feel him, sometimes you just loose when you hit your ranking wall

and the next match will be against an afk farmteam

it is still rnjeezus

[left crypt]

That is my point some say only the merger systems but the announcement says we are reseting everything from what I read

[queen scarab]

Did you actually read it?

It literally tells you

[iron epoch]

Only 1 match today with new teamup...so stop complaining about not winning all matches.

[queen scarab]

I don't understand how its unclear

[left crypt]

yes, Heads up for our Admirals and Commodores! Please note that territory capture will reset tomorrow. The new Season 5 will also kick off next Tuesday, the 22nd.

[iron epoch]

For ops 65+ team brackets are very hard to even get a match

[queen scarab]

Yes so it reset

[left crypt]

doesn't say a word about merger or anything so I don't know where ppl are coming up with that junk

[queen scarab]

The bp starts on 22nd

[lime wolf]

The lag for arena is horrific

[queen scarab]

There is upcoming mergers which also resets the tc if you are merged

[warm shuttle]

An even match

[lime wolf]

cant taget, and select, cant do anything

[queen scarab]

Completely separate thing

[iron epoch]

Territory reset already happened on eu servers.
Only new season start on 22nd

[lime wolf]

on the rare chance its a fair match

[queen scarab]

Yeah instead of reading announcements correctly hes juggling various hear say snippets

[split storm]

you should be able to accept or decline matches if its something stupid like g5 vs g6

it should stay within the range

[queen scarab]

Then conflagrating them

[twilit lintel]

Who here loves the arena?

[simple violet]

If only Scopely would do that

[simple violet]

https://tenor.com/view/whale-breaching-whale-hello-there-gif-15847811

Whales only

[queen scarab]

Cant see the point for whale's

[twilit lintel]

so ppl who buy packs not f2p

[queen scarab]

Easier to buy the packs no?

[warm pivot]

i like it, it is something different and the rewards are enticing, the few roflstompf matchups you get when you play 10+ games are not that bad, sometimes you win, sometimes you loose. just don t stop playing after 1 bad matchup

still need improvement in terms of performance and 24h runtime would be great if scopely can manage that

[simple violet]

Nah, if you aren't a complete whale, you are screwed through these

[tame cypress]

helo skopeli. u forgot arena events.

[queen scarab]

Nah

They were broken last week

So won't return anytime soon

[simple violet]

Try having over 10 matches in a row, strongest player ops 56, coming up against players over ops 60

[split storm]

another match with my G5 team mates against a full g6 team

[queen scarab]

One bug too far lol

[tame cypress]

wdym broken? last week everything was broken

such as this week xD

[queen scarab]

The scoring was way off or something

[split storm]

na they fixed what was broken last week, and broke 2 other things to make up for it

[warm pivot]

i did only have 1 easy match today, 7 on even terms and 3 total roflstomp loose
and with even i mean same G class, while only having a 46 rare and others come in with 2x 50 epic

[twilit lintel]

who here wants the allianve tournament back

[queen scarab]

Events were pulled mid run

And not launched at all for us servers

[split linden]

I thought arenas were for everyone but required a level 40 to start them

[simple violet]

Pretty much every match I've had this run has had rubbish like this

[kindred yacht]

You need to take into account the power of the players Scopely not just the Ops level!!! An Ops 40 with 25m power matched with an Ops 40 with 55m power 🙄

[twilit lintel]

op 40 at 25m?

cant be f2p

[warm pivot]

yeah, i know those matches as well, type GG and ask for a fast finish so you can queue up again
maybe wait 5 minutes to not get the same opponents again

[near bloom]

Jesus, Ops 40 with 25M and there’s me feeling guilty at 22M at 39 🤣

[simple violet]

Gets worse when they just kill the odd hostile and you have to wait the whole 10 min timer, need a surrender option in these for matches that are completely "improved and fair"

[warm pivot]

did someone already test if you can get arena directives after hitting hostile cap? ^^

[queen scarab]

No one hits cap

[simple violet]

People are complaining they can't after hitting the cap

[queen scarab]

Lol

Be intriguing to see player participation stats from last week and this

[simple violet]

Probably gone up given the change to start time, but you've also go loads more moaning because of the "improvements" they did that have made it far bloody worse

[queen scarab]

Yeah why it would be intriguing

Next week more so pending no changes being implemented

[shut shoal]

I mean I'd say that's ok to match up though

[foggy parrot]

I disagree, if a player has levelled up too fast and is weak for their ops, it's their problem.

the strongest ops 40 is currently on 67M and the median power is about 23M

[left crypt]

yea, I had to fight an OPS 46 with a max pilium (146M) and my poor Kori couldn't dent it

[ashen briar]

Monday, 1.10pm in California, and so far no <@&509690795536941056> has shown up here? 🤔

[simple violet]

I'd say they are hiding considering the clustercluck that has been this round of arenas

[velvet egret]

Its could be so simple: OPS lvl of team leader is max OPS lvl of all team members (if team leader is OPS 53 no higher Player can join) and same OPS lvl will match for fight...

[simple violet]

But then the whales wouldn't be able to crap on the other team with their massively OP ships

[primal seal]

im having an issue with the exocomp + 50% mining speed only working intermittend. one run on conc lat node i go 33,500,000 per hour. but sometimes its about 59,345,443. is this a bug?

[queen scarab]

No lol
