relying so heavily on ELO, but not letting us accrue any is beyond bonkers

[leaden meadow]

https://tenor.com/view/soon-gif-19121692

[hazy summit]

Tbh if they announce the date range it should span all those days across the board

[near bloom]

Ewwww

Even I can see that would not be well received 😂

[leaden meadow]

NO

[remote portal]

72 hour incursion? Hard pass 😂

[leaden meadow]

many players on our server already take a day off when incursions hit, don't take away 3 days of their playtime :p

[late ermine]

Its 24

24 per region thats why its 72

[remote portal]

I was responding to the suggestion #🌌-galaxy-chat message

[hazy summit]

...
I mean I'm gonna just shield up for incursion day and do my daily events and then log

[late ermine]

I mean personally i want 1 Incursion per week 😝 makes it fun

[hazy summit]

Just fight your own server

[late ermine]

But arena is way more fun if u looking for pvp

[hazy summit]

Hahahah

[late ermine]

Sad they run it in odd time

[remote portal]

Gonna have to disagee with you there, at least during incursions I can find players my own size

Not everybody enjoys the same events, nbd

[queen jolt]

working on it

[hazy summit]

Most pvp events make me want to log off

I'd rather have story and content

[queen jolt]

I totally get that! PvP can be intense and not everyone types. I knew a bunch that preferred the arc story too. You are free to prioritize which event you likeee buddy

[hazy summit]

Still waiting for some more missions and such to help out some of the odder races of Star trek...

[queen jolt]

which race are you looking forrrr?

[hazy summit]

Would love to see the Dominion expanded on

Well I'd live to see more stuff with Cardassians, Bajor and that conflict... would love to fight in the Kilngon Federstion war...

Things like that

Ferengi quests would be cool for like covert trader stuff

[boreal oasis]

do we know what the new arena ship/prime is going to be?

[hazy summit]

Breen, Tholians

So many races untouched

Would love to see more with the progenitors

[remote portal]

I still don't get why the Jem Hadar don't automatically hunt anyone allied with the Bajorans, like Augment space 🤣

[hazy summit]

Right

Changeling Arc would be cool

And imagine having refitd to make your ships look like other ships

[oak basin]

honestly this 'more pve factions' option is way better than gating everything behind different varieties of pvp to try to force players who don't want to pvp, to pvp

[remote portal]

There are some of those already... K'Tings can look like a Breen ship, Valdore can look like a Cardassian Galore, etc (paid/event store of course)

[oak basin]

only thing that should be gated behind pvp content should be pvp focused rewards, you should not have to pvp to access anything for pve

[hazy summit]

I also feel alliances should be aligned with factions outside of FKR

[boreal oasis]

it was this way for years

[hazy summit]

Also hostiles should be able to attack your base if your rep isn't good with said Faction

[oak basin]

they did that with the g3 epic TOS skins, some g4 uncs too have alternate skins. i assume overall they didn't sell well, cos it ain't been done again.

[remote portal]

Like the alliance you join should be faction aligned? Or like you as a player can get faction ships from more than FKR?

[hazy summit]

.....because most pve people aren't spenders

[hazy summit]

Both.
Allaince should be Faction aligned and recieve buffs by maintaining standing... and i would love more ships that do different things that aren't the big three and aren't one trick ponies

Like with this Trill event... there could have been an alliance quest for certain resources to help the Trill empire... and maybe your ships get a loot buff or something

[remote portal]

I don't agree with the first one; forced conformity and also less diversity of ships within your group which can be a tactical disadvantage.

Most players end up locking them all eventually anyway, but I don't like the idea of constraining who you can play with.

[hazy summit]

Or your alliance has to all attack a big bad villian that might be causing the Faction trouble

[oak basin]

that can be an issue. the more viable non-fkr ships, the less people will bother with faction ships because they'll have other, easier to get/level options

that then leads to 'everything is the borg cube and you must get and tier other ships to advance it'

[hazy summit]

Tbh you shouldn't have to teir another ship to advance a ship

Think that's stupid

Sorry just spitnalling ideas to keep players engaged for more than the daily events...

Would love to build all the older ships i have BP for and donate them to a Faction for rep or rewards... like... the Federation needs more miners... donate 10 survey ships for x reward

Might make me actually build the old ships and use up BP

[oak basin]

something like that could be a workable tournament task

[hazy summit]

Well yes and no because it takes a couple days to build a ship

[oak basin]

latinum is a thing for a reason

so are speedups

[hazy summit]

True

[oak basin]

but overall the devs are more likely to go for something like that, something that removes things from the game, than the 'trade marketplace' that moves things from one player to another

[hazy summit]

Nah one player to other is blah

I'd rather trade in old ships or better yet send them out on away missions of sorts

[woeful compass]

ships are soo fast the game can't handle them properly😂

[oak basin]

tbh i was actually a bit surprised when away teams didn't have that, it'd've at least have given the unscrappable junk ships a purpose

[hazy summit]

Exactly... and maybe then people might make some of the older ships too

Right now I have like 15 envoys...

Just sitting

Because I got bored and built em all

[forest ridge]

my cube has gotten pretty big lately 😐

[warm pivot]

again no corrosponding arena event 😦

[fallow sage]

Lets seeee iiiiiiiiit

[warm pivot]

there is so much wrong with that dudes crew 😵‍💫
or maybe he specialices vs weyun? 🤔

[forest ridge]

which the cube? thats my ship,lets say i have reasons for staffing my primary PVP ship this way that really only apply to me (or someone else who are hitting way down... because to me everyone is hitting way down)

[warm pivot]

na just because freeman without status

your cube is perfect as it comes 😄

[forest ridge]

ah gotcha, ent-e... this was 5v5 arenas back before everyone had favors and knew how they worked

so i'll assume it was his 4th or 5th ship 😄

because yeah Freeman is completely wasted there

maybe i should have cropped the ent-e out of it before sharing, because he just wanted to see my cube 😄

i just happened to have this handy

[silver parcel]

dezoc below deck will proc freeman, just at a lower rate even if maxed, so not completely wasted

[warm pivot]

there isnt much that would have helped against you tbh ^^

[silver parcel]

if you can get a dezoc proc off that'll counter over freeman metas

[forest ridge]

freeman is already too random for my taste, i would not build a PVP crew around making it even less reliable

but i have no idea if Dezoc was below on that fight

[silver parcel]

just saying it has it's purposes, so it's not "bad" just not optimum, i've beat similar and higher ships with that crew against other freemans

[forest ridge]

again im pretty sure this was ship 4 or 5 for him 🙂

[glossy granite]

Guys, how do you unlock the faction superhighways?

so its basically tantalus field or you lose

[late ermine]

Not always but most cases yes

[kindred echo]

<@&509690795536941056> I have 1480 common keys, chest for repair 1200, yet tells me I can’t buy other than the store?!

[late ermine]

Says u can tho 🤔

[kindred echo]

Yep, but when click on it says I don’t have enough go to the store

[late ermine]

U restarted game ?

The terean store is super bugged

[near bloom]

Did you buy something already?

[kindred echo]

Yep, done localisation

[late ermine]

I have to always restart to update the currency ammount i have

[near bloom]

Sometimes the math takes longer to do than Vamp takes.

[kindred echo]

Never bought repair, but did buy some shards yesterday

[near bloom]

Sat there trying to count 1200 fingers

[kindred echo]

Another restart solved it

[late ermine]

All i know is terran store is bit bugged ... Always takes time to update currency

[kindred echo]

Guess the 15 restarts I’ve done today didn’t count 🤣

[late ermine]

Well all good now i guess 😂

[woeful compass]

@queen jolt horrible lag when doing arena's

[slow isle]

yeah that is always laggy and takes a few min

[woeful compass]

game can't process the fast ships and getting stuck on almost every screen

[slow isle]

oh yeah, last battle was like that as well

[late ermine]

If you referring to entering and existing yes it takes good few min no idea why its still like this didn't change since beta

[woeful compass]

its everything

[near bloom]

Voluntary restarts aren’t the same as involuntary restarts 😝

[woeful compass]

if you press the wrong button you are stuck for like a minute

[slow isle]

one battle was basically just 1 frame per 30 second or so lol

[queen jolt]

EU buddy, right?

[woeful compass]

yeah

[late ermine]

I haven't seen lag inside system tho ? Didn't play much but did play good 10 games no complains today from alliance mates aswell

Oh its EU exclusive 😝

[near bloom]

🤣

[late ermine]

Good thing i am not EU

[solemn plaza]

How -2 ?

[slow isle]

you guys buy too little packs 🙈

[late ermine]

U owe them some gifts thats why 😂

[late ermine]

That's really funny tho never seen something like that

[near bloom]

Don’t open alliance gifts, they’ll take standard recruit tokens off you! 😂

[solemn plaza]

As long as my 15minute speed ups are safe it's OK.

[near bloom]

*5 minute repair speedups

[opal meadow]

Does anyone have any additional intel about the incursion coming to 705 this week?

[late ermine]

U are up against 704 not sure what else u wanna know 😂

[near bloom]

How badly they gonna spank them 😂

[slow isle]

maybe the exact day would be nice lol

[near bloom]

Nah, surprise incursions are the bestest.

[opal meadow]

It’s on 11/01. What I know is that people are advised to shield their stations and move them to below Level 19 systems.

[near bloom]

And territory is not below Lv19

Just as a reminder, in case.

[opal meadow]

Yep, territory is not safe. Madras is safe.

[near bloom]

Now I’m hungry.

[opal meadow]

Curry lol

How many people are on 704? I’m new. I don’t really even know what an incursion is.

[late ermine]

U just smash each other thier station thier ships anything and everything they have ... And u can smash

[opal meadow]

I’m only level 16, so I’m peace shield up and washing my hair that day, apparently.

[near bloom]

Float around doing dailies and mining just to really upset people

Most participants won’t be able to get you

Level bandings still apply

[late ermine]

Even if u don't shield no one will bother u I think 😂

Now days other than incursion I don't feel like raiding any station that has less than 20 or 30t rss atleast

[nova pilot]

Has the incursion date been given?

[opal meadow]

1st November

[silver parcel]

line up dates are still awol

[nova pilot]

Ok

[kind dragon]

@queen jolt any chance we can get the exact day for incursions at this point instead of the 10/31-11/2 range?

[heavy ermine]

THIS

Hoping prep launches today if we're running on the 31st...or cancellation incoming?

[warm pivot]

the attitude of some people, interpreting GG as complain about a loss xD

[dire flower]

No cancellation of incursion,

[near bloom]

Some people are so angry they lost that reason left the building hours ago.

[kind dragon]

@heady moon Can you provide and update on when incursions will be for specific servers yet?

[fathom flicker]

Is CoW starting today or ROTMC

Or Incursions?

[near bloom]

Yes

Probably

Maybe

[foggy parrot]

yes to one of those 😂

[near bloom]

One or all or none of the above

[fathom flicker]

So Yes to CoW probably to ROTMC and maybe to incursions

[near bloom]

No

Yes, probably, and maybe to all of them.

Basically

https://tenor.com/view/eh-meh-jim-jim-halpert-the-office-gif-25317293

[fathom flicker]

Ah gotcha so I guess I gotta wait roughly ten minutes to find out

[warm pivot]

well, i lost... he was mad because he was able to kill my 46 rare with his t9 northcut ^^
its strange, seems the only one not complaining about matchmaking are those in upper g6, and even they get mad because of too easy enemies

[near bloom]

Come hold hands with us and we’ll wait together!

[fiery trout]

no MC or CoW

[near bloom]

*Yet.

[warm pivot]

how about faction hunt during incursions? interested? ^^

[near bloom]

Easiest of the lot

Build a scrapper

[warm pivot]

ok, CoW ^^

[thick cypress]

do we still have time to spend the event credits? the store doesn't close today?

Echoes of war paid out yesterday for me

[wise sail]

Yeah, I got my EoW payout already too

[late ermine]

Did get it tho..

[boreal oasis]

this event held me up 4 OPs levels

[late ermine]

Oh i know the feeling 😂 was easy winning and was 2nd rank in i just had to ops up 4 times and 😭 couldn't complete at all later

[jaunty holly]

Okay, just checked, apparently I did get the awards yesterday.

So much reward spam.

[late ermine]

Lol ha ha happens

I mean if that wasn't server wide problem don't think taging cms will do anything anyway better go ticket ... Well not needed now as u know u got it 😂

[nimble stump]

Morning @queen jolt Can you clarify if the current SLB for artifacts is correct? As an OPs 50 I’m in the same bracket as Ops 70s?

[late ermine]

Yes

[umbral jay]

<@&509690795536941056> can say something about the lag have actually in EU servers... started last week?

[late ermine]

Why is everyone so ... Worried about thats slb

[graceful sage]

@queen jolt is emperor georgio's crown considered a symbiosis artifact or a temporal artifact or something else?

[late ermine]

U get 125k pts i think for unlocking scoring specified it

[jolly hull]

✨

[wise sail]

Because Premium MU Dust is valuable

[graceful sage]

i got 0 points, so nope

[heavy ermine]

Incursions canceled or just incursions prep canceled?

[nimble stump]

I’m not worried about the SLB itself, it’s the idea that they’ll be shoving us together more often in larger ranges. A guy can ask the question, chill.

[primal stag]

Probably cause an ops 38 player shouldn't be in the same bracket as a g6 player on any SLB

[queen jolt]

We don't have a resolution yet but the team is actively looking into the lag reports.

[late ermine]

Well 70 or 60 or 50 or 40 almost everyone get same ammount each day

[umbral jay]

thanks

[late ermine]

Yes i won't disagree thats its a bit too wide...

[graceful sage]

we have had these artifact upgrade events before and they aren't so poorly bracketed, what happened?

[wise sail]

Where are you getting free Premium MU Dust daily?

[late ermine]

Well what i mean is theres so many other slbs we should be concerned about 😂 and i am pretty chill

[late ermine]

Wasn't talking about premium mu dust its temporal disruptors artifact tokens etc the thing u use to score in that slb

[late ermine]

Theres a way to get mu dust daily tho 😅 from terran faction

in the merge the reason the game is laggin so bad right now @simpaily

[near bloom]

No as it’s not merge time?

[bold field]

so the game is just laggin cause scopeplay again

[light wadi]

No Borg event today ?🥲

[near bloom]

Not lagging here, but he’s said they’re looking into it.

[bold field]

ok lol... ships are like jumping across screen that's how bad it is lol

[near bloom]

Seems not. Give it a little while, clock changes always throw spanners in the works, maybe there’s more fun coming.

[light wadi]

Lol ok

[fickle latch]

Why is this? Genuinely curious. Clock changes aren’t a new thing and if Microsoft can get it right in Windows, why can’t Scopley.

[warm nest]

lol

[near bloom]

I expect some of it comes down to coding for Zulu/UTC and the upset of certain regions when their clocks changed about how their events should still change at the same local time, ignoring that different regions change time at different times.

So then all the events need updating, and the technical edition of copy and paste of events from last month’s effective “down week” to this month’s ignores that the UK for example changed their clocks yesterday.

Chaos ensues.

Personally I hate this week or so between UK and US changing clocks as it ruins my calendar 🤣

[wild kestrel]

<@&509690795536941056> Will there be an announcement today about the Incursion prep events and the actual date for each group of servers?

[bold field]

clock change isn't till next week though

[fickle latch]

Yeah that is a pain at work too. Just set everything to GMT, it’s the best time zone anyway (speaking as a Brit) 😁

[near bloom]

There… isn’t one?

[bold field]

the battle pass is over...; only the store left

[late ermine]

Bp is over lol

[worthy current]

Omg lol hahahahaha /s

[near bloom]

Which is a novelty we should celebrate!

I lost count of the number of times I had to say “hey @terse jackal, could we extend the store please as you’ve given credits and now there’s nowhere to spend them”.

This time all is good! (Hai Eco! X)

[late ermine]

I hope they don't extend it again after i spend my currency on something I don't need 😂

[bold field]

agreed... now where top spend them lol

[near bloom]

In the store 👀

[bold field]

I meant on what lol...

[queen scarab]

Or just don't spend them

[late ermine]

I mean store extension is good but they also starts giving more currency and i am like what the hel last time i was 6k currency short from fc slot 24 hours left so had to spend it on something useless then they extend it and gives more currency 😂

[near bloom]

An option many players took.

[late ermine]

Lossing over 400k currency for what 😂

I won't be the one to risk it lol

[queen scarab]

Because you can

[warm pivot]

imagin 100% of server pop would try to play arena, i don t think the servers would be capable of that. so even if everyone was hyped for pvp, something clearly is bad in terms of performance during high frequented playtimes.

[queen scarab]

My prep stuck at 0

Going well

[warm pivot]

so while there are matchmaking issues, the amount of arena instances at the same time limits the participation anyway

[quartz spoke]

@heady moon announcement soon for specific dates what servers having incursions on what date

[late ermine]

Odd question does everyone have to wait a lot of time entering and exiting arena ? Like sometimes have to wait 1min otherwise 20 sec minimum

[warm pivot]

match is usually found in between 10 to 15 seconds, joining seems fine, arenastart had issues in the last hour, had to restart everytime the match started. leaving takes about 5 seconds of loading after the timer hits 0

pc client

[late ermine]

Yes leaving takes a while for me mainly like 20 sec 😂

No lag otherwise just so weird

Android

[warm pivot]

no lag? 🤔

https://tenor.com/view/i-dont-believe-you-whatever-lies-gif-3602502

[late ermine]

Didn't had today yes...

[still moth]

why is there no TC event? we currently have our takeover and cannot get any points. i hope this will be fixed. otherweise no chance to complete the battlepass for capture

[late ermine]

Had some in beta test and on we 1st run 2nd run with 3 v3 and Todays one was very well

[slim smelt]

where is our holloween event

[late ermine]

Eu is having a lag issue i think 😂

[warm pivot]

better switch to plural lags today

[strong needle]

Let’s give Scopely a round of applause! 11 servers down from merging in 2 weeks! They really know how to make people leave the game. Good going!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻. Oh by the way was just informed you lost another cash cow!🤣🤣🤣🤣

[late ermine]

Yea man people should walk away when its not fun anymore 🙂 if you are not having fun time to walk away we all will do at some point

[near bloom]

Some of us even come back, don’t you @civic geyser

[strong needle]

👍🏻

[late ermine]

I will tell u one thing i ain't coming back if i delete my account 😂

[warm pivot]

moo for us 🤣 and get ascended for gods sake ^^

[near bloom]

@queen jolt

[late ermine]

No ascension for hd lol

[slim smelt]

yeah iggored

[queen scarab]

Its so broken and poorly executed no one even wants to get involved in arena anymore. Its not enjoyable.

[late ermine]

What do u mean no one 😂 i sure want 27k syndicate each day

[queen scarab]

Took me 30 minutes to get a team. Then it got stuck on 0 in prep. Had to restart. Then we were all struggling to target anything. So lost as ran out of time and neither team broke 100 points.

So not getting anything anyway

[warm pivot]

its so expensive 🥴

[whole musk]

Hi all, quick question, did we already get the incursion days (dates) for the server pairings?

[queen scarab]

We will get them next week

[late ermine]

What rank are u anyways

[civic geyser]

Hehe

[warm pivot]

silver 1 or just that dude up there 🤣

[civic geyser]

Yeah I said that and here I am 🤣

[late ermine]

Gets better as u rank up went from silver 1 to gold 3 now and uff gives a lot of stuff now

[late ermine]

Wait u are rank 1 in eu ?

[queen scarab]

Bronze 3

[warm pivot]

only in 106

[late ermine]

Ahh

Still impressive

[near bloom]

“Deleting will stop me coming back, I’ll just get annoyed at all the stuff I don’t have and can’t do”

[late ermine]

Well i am not leaving anytime soon ha ha

[warm pivot]

3rd highest 47 in eu... not really, just lag resistant

[late ermine]

When u Don't care too much u Don't get frustrated ha ha

[warm pivot]

nobody wants to play in my arena teams anymore, everyone hates going against g5 ^^

[warm hedge]

can someone explain whn still in a matchup for a server that has only in the last few months for ascension to G4 when the arena is launched by an OP40 player are we up against OPS50 52 and 53 players?! many times now...I mean even if an OPS48 or 49 playr wanted to join on our side the wouldn't be allowed!

[late ermine]

Not new man happening to everyone mostly matches depends on ops lvl and rank

First u wannna check if they are lower rank than u or not if if not then its a mismatch and bad luck what can i say

[gloomy narwhal]

@heady moon Question, are we not mend to have have Incursion Prep event, since its the monday before a Incursion?

[warm pivot]

no, comp is announced

[late ermine]

U know i have a odd feeling its already .... Bracketed the days

[warm pivot]

https://tenor.com/view/mcqueen-gif-25874245

[late ermine]

Just see the gap

But yup nothing official so far

[glass void]

<@&509690795536941056> no TC trailblazer event on a monday?

So not only was the TC map reset messed up to start on an L2 day, but now we get 1 day less to score points, when will this be fixed?

[gloomy narwhal]

i kinda feel like the communication from Scoply have been getting worse and worse over the last couple of month 😦

[warm pivot]

feel again 😏

[silver parcel]

The gap in the posting isn't the day separation, they're just listed in order. The servers will be staggered again.

[late ermine]

Don't you have buffs from the research? You can't do them without that special faction research for the spheres.

So everythings at the same talios level of damage boost.

Sorry meat exos

When i first did that had a 1.1m sali 1m talios 1m bortas so not really a big deal...

I don't think exos are really going to do much to move that +35k damage boost.

[late ermine]

Not really pretty sure u can do 42 ( if thats the next one )

[tepid lotus]

35k% damage boost rather

[late ermine]

Yup exo don't work

[patent moat]

Where are they?

[late ermine]

Actually I can't even feel exo working in Armada thats just how much power creep we have now

[late ermine]

U can find them will be green system look around too lazy to open the game 😂

[patent moat]

I only see them in low level rom space lol

[late ermine]

Was there i think

There u go

Every borg solo armada system are green / has a green glow ... U can look for higher ones with that if u need

[wicked charm]

In the discord post linking to the blog, he literally says they will have more information on which days for which server later. He doesn’t think that gap represents the days.

[patent moat]

Seems doable thanks will try latter

[late ermine]

Yup got that 🙂

[late ermine]

Definitely u are ready

For those

[tepid lotus]

We didn't have prep events for that incursions did we?

[late ermine]

We didn't yet i think

[tepid lotus]

So are they going to be giving us the tokens to transfer to the other server?

[ruby night]

Does anybody know when Alliance Tournament is?

[tepid lotus]

Unless they change something, not November.

[sterile fox]

<@&509690795536941056> s - support seemed to suggest that arena matchmaking is done to ensure the quickest matchup, not to ensure the fairest / balanced matchup, which seems so utterly backwards. Can this be revised? I'd much rather wait longer for a fairer fight...

[silver parcel]

Not this month, most likely not next month

[dawn pelican]

Hello. I was wondering if there was a channel that can show you mission chains. I run into a lot of blocks in some areas of space and other rewards because all the locked areas of space require completion of missions that I haven't been able to find. I would appreciate any assistance you can offer. Thanks.

[tepid lotus]

Going to be a lot of people away for holidays.

[gloomy narwhal]

https://stfc.space/ use this site to search for the quest

[tepid lotus]

Yeah, stfc.space is the place I go to for missions.

It would be nice if the search also worked on loot though. It can be tough when you get a mission for "X widgets" and you can't see what mission gives the widgets as loot.

[dawn pelican]

Alright. Got it. Thanks for your help. 👊🏾

[empty mantle]

this lag is hallowen joke? 😮

[warm hedge]

thing is I dunno how they can call it a "matchup" when your team is restricted to OPS40 - OPS48 and they have OPS53+ players on their team...

just matching us to our average levels would be better

[sterile fox]

Because it's based on speed of matchup, not quality of matchup. We've just had this one... The 56 had ships we couldn't even touch.

[blissful mist]

@heady moon how dare you get rid of server 69!!! 72 should merge with them!!!!

[near bloom]

69 needs to be saved.

i fixed it

[blissful mist]

[soft pine]

Everyone should have 69!

No, save!

Everyone should save 69!

Wow that was a faux pas.

[civic geyser]

Please don’t name and shame

I think it's too late, Scopely doesn't care about 69.

I’m sorry, I love it, I signed it, but a <@&509691205798592532> is gonna need to nuke that 🥲

[near bloom]

69 is more fun.

[dense hare]

[tepid lotus]

You get the stuff after the merge

[dense hare]

They can take my life, but they cant take my PETITION!!!!!!!

[near bloom]

They can and they will.

Unfortunately it’s a universal thing, because it is a slippery slope.

You let one worthy cause in (like saving 69), then you let the fundraiser for the sick kid, then the one for the house that burned down, next thing you know you’re dealing with thousands of people who need a new car cos theirs died.

So it’s a flat rule, nope nope nope.

[warm pivot]

soooo close 😔

[dense hare]

Remember, remember, the merge of the day,
When server 69th was set on its way.
From tasks and from toil, it now must align,
With server 72 in a grand combine.

The data was restless, the packets did flow,
As bits and as bytes were ready to go.
The merge was planned, the sysadmins knew,
That something was coming, something brand new.

Remember, remember, the date that it fused,
Two servers together, no data refused.
For 69 now lives, within 72’s frame,
A network united, both one and the same.

[twin osprey]

When is the actual incursion happening? Announcement just says Oct 31-Nov2, I know it doesn't last two days.

[near bloom]

TBC.

[proud knoll]

[lime wraith]

[leaden meadow]

Tuberculosis?

[sterile fox]

[ivory hull]

Is the TC trailblazer event missing for everyone, or am I just lucky? Just scored all of zero points for our TC defense because there is no event up.

[warm hedge]

I don't have the SMS either

[slow mica]

Being from server 69 ….no it’s not lmao

[weary adder]

I have it, but in the "event is done" section... it appears it ended a day earlier than what it would normally have.

@heady moon so about those incursion dates?

[ivory hull]

Yeah, I have that one closed out too, but expected to be finishing the points today. <@&509690795536941056>, there seems to be an issue with the TC points SMS events with it ending early or ending with no replancment up

[heady moon]

Yeah lemme check on those.

[keen eagle]

so, $cop€£¥, please tell us how can someone busy every monday during arena, compete in it! maybe you should think to open it in other days...

[quartz spoke]

i think arena should be ran for a minamum of 16 hrs instead of 8....give the people who play overnight a chacne to play as well

[heady moon]

Yeah, I think expanding it would help too. Will see what I can do.

[dense hare]

Justice for Owl! - He's Free!

[woeful compass]

stop having g6 in g5 squads etc. power difference is too much even with speed crews etc.

[bitter temple]

You know what would stop that? Bonus pts for using certain ships.. promote an arena ship of the day for extra rep, etc

[primal stag]

@heady moon was there a reason why the Temporal artifact SLB bracket included everyone 38+. I'm losing our on 750 Prem dust cause everyone above me is g5 (my server doesn't have g6 access yet) despite the fact that I'm still g4

we have new players on 401 ..... from some cashapp

we've also received new players on 401...... they have been reset to lvl1. ops 65 earlier. tutorial, signin and they've not been seen again 👍

the ops 65 was so polite

why are the lvl1 account resets happening? he upgraded ios at a similar time to arena starting [that sort of time]
Thank you for the new player source. they're going elsewhere
Scopely keep opening new servers........ how do we retain new players on 401? @heady moon

Nothing to look into, it's working as intended

[lime wraith]

50 spots and no brackets was intended?

I thought it was a bug

[silver parcel]

38 to 70 and yes it was intended

[steep aspen]

how quick people are to forget the 28-49 daily event slb bracket, scopely is no stranger to absurd groupings

[stuck abyss]

@heady moon did the territory pass event end early intentionally? Historically the week long pass event would include Monday’s takeovers

[silver parcel]

it didn't end early, ended the same as previous events

[steep aspen]

then where is the new one for this week? at this rate, monday takeovers won't score

[silver parcel]

the season start was different

[hollow crown]

Previously they ended after Monday's captures and started again on Wednesday, this is a bit different than usual.

[lime wraith]

if they're going to do a 40-70 bracket then there should be more rewards, only top 50 is ridiculous

[frank pike]

Well, it basically is hosing people with Monday takeovers

[stuck abyss]

Wrong. They always included the Monday takeovers

[silver parcel]

I'm talking the duration fo the sms, it was the same as previous sms

So no it didn't end early, the start time for the season was different

[hollow crown]

Ah, yeah, looks like they started it on Tuesday when there were no captures. That was weird.

[silver parcel]

Yeah, the start date is what threw things off

[split storm]

Can someone explain how an team of g5 players can win against a team of g6?

Match making math ain't mathing scopley

[hollow crown]

I hope having a pass going on Tuesdays when there aren't captures and then no pass going on Monday when there are isn't the plan going forward.....

[stuck abyss]

Maybe a CC can get ahold of the overlords and get some clarification

[near bloom]

It started early and ran for the normal length as far as I can work out.

Weird in any event.

[ashen depot]

Laggggggggggggggg

[ripe rivet]

@queen jolt @heady moon Is there a particular reason that there is no TC Trailblazer event running during the TC season on a takeover day? Can you only score points from Wednesday to Sunday now?

[tall igloo]

So muted me now

[stuck abyss]

Tuesday to Sunday (with no takeovers on Tuesday). It’s an undocumented benefit!

[split storm]

<@&509690795536941056>

Explain THIS?!

[warm pivot]

silver vs bronze

[silver parcel]

Definitely looking like they turned off the averages just to get a match going

A bronze should never be going up against a silver

[shut shoal]

average 60 in silver vs average 56 in bronze

[peak sedge]

They're putting too much faith in their ranking system

Which, given their track record with maths, is a poor decision

[round ember]

Except apparently some pairings are listed in 2 days, eg 105 vs 401 happens on day 1 and day 2. <@&509690795536941056> Could someone look into that?

[split storm]

Yes becuase my 500 million ship can kill this

More and more of my alliance are just starting matches without even deploying ships just for the mats

[civic geyser]

That’s one tactic I guess

[frank pike]

There is no matchmaking, it just look for the quickest match it can throw together. Otherwise we wouldn’t see teams of three mid-40s paired with 56s and 57s

It didn't even scratch it

[split storm]

I played against a 70 earlier highest ops i had was 61. Was very evenly matched

[delicate tartan]

I hope this isn't what I get to look forward to in 80 minutes

[frank pike]

All they needed to do was set matchmaking to be a -+ 1 or 2 level average after taking the average of the three players on a squad.

[hollow herald]

Needed to be g4, g5 and g6 more than anything else

[frank pike]

An average ops of 44.something shouldn’t be matched against an average ops of 56.whatever

[warm pivot]

do we have a pic of a decently leveled protector on ops 50? ^^

[bright goblet]

One in my alliance who doesnt have the best PvP research

[frank pike]

Why get over complicated? Literally just take however many people are there, add ops, divide by how many are there, that’s your matchmaking range.

[hollow herald]

Reason it isn’t worked properly is the whales wouldn’t have anyone to play against

[frank pike]

Also a crap crew

[slow isle]

they are flying backwards now, guess they gave up attacking the middle 🙈

[obtuse nexus]

seriously... w the absolute ffffff.... how did we even get matched

[frank pike]

There is no actual banding for matchmaking. Only answer that makes sense.

[exotic lodge]

Seems legit. 🤣

[warm pivot]

the only issue is, people dont play enough matches

too many g6 in bronze still

[obtuse nexus]

playing matches is not the issue, those two teams should never match, there is 9 levels between their smallest and our highest

[civic geyser]

Wonder why they don’t play enough 🤔

[warm pivot]

i think prior gold 2 or 1 you rise in ranking with less than a 50% win ratio

still not enough ranking points out there, generate more ^^

[warm pivot]

well, 8h monday only is a reason that comes to mind

[grave spoke]

Rather loads of disillusioned people..

[obtuse nexus]

not surprised when you wind up against 2 people 14 levels higher, and 1 16 levels higher

[warm pivot]

i 100% think, scopely allocates 1 rank higher as important as 1 ops higher, so bronze 4 vs silver 2 would be 7 ops levels.

[trail hill]

What is the real difference between bronze, silver etc?

[warm pivot]

bigger daily pulls in terran store

[indigo tangle]

Supposedly ops and rank are equally weighted in the matchmaking, so failure is assured.

[grave spoke]

With these bugs and parings they should have stuck to reputation and scrapped the arena ranks

Greetings to scopely and their tremendous sense for timing

I’ve had two mutes 🤣

[hollow herald]

As long as they do most of the other weeks they will be fine, with no overrun you get a few weeks where points don’t do any

What, all I was going to do is ridicule your attempt at matchmaking and say someone isn't watching server's before they match them

But in a not so kind way

[mild leaf]

@heady moon Will Incursions be starting an hour before Evening Reset as last month? Which will mean UTC-1 due to the time change in UK/EU last weekend?

[modest echo]

We also seem to be getting a bonus run 2 days in a row 😄

[umbral jay]

maybe should not run incursions with this lag in EU servers... is very unplayable...in this screenshot we was in wave 3...

[near bloom]

Pros say it in a kind way.

[random jetty]

Thank you.

[heady moon]

Thanks for staying within the lines!

[slim sierra]

I really appreciate the restraint you're showing, btw, to try to adhere to the rules.

[bitter temple]

🤣 incursions and arena the same day, yes lag is to be expected

[bitter temple]

Arena about to que me in... my mining node

[umbral jay]

we started experiencing the lag on thursday... and today still unplayable

[near bloom]

Adherence can be voluntary or inflicted 😂

[bright goblet]

48h incursions would be the dream😍

[supple belfry]

Only good there was so much communication from scopely and the massive compensations for losing half a day on an unplayable game.....

[mighty bone]

Well, last time I didn't adhere to the rules on the subject of matchmaking, I got a warning and a good match up.

And Bec was slamming me in this chat

@near bloom 😘

[near bloom]

You still play?

[bitter temple]

ya'll know the best thing about arena? waiting for the last team member to do arena

[rose oracle]

Yeah, still grinding away.

[supple belfry]

Seriously? You either click on a system without housing, or send a ship there, black on the housing planet and follow instructions

In Ancient times, there was a sport at making the politest insults possible in speeches.

[bitter temple]

what pack you gotta buy for instant arena ques?

[near bloom]

In modern times we have the STFC Discord!

[twin fog]

<@&509690795536941056> is the alliance tournament going to run between arcs? That was told to the community as a once a month event.

[near bloom]

Not this time

[proud parrot]

Suks that the arena recalls all ships.

Giving up them node

[supple belfry]

Well, I've been looking for help on this channel once or twice, so I rather try to help if needed

[silver parcel]

Recalls ships, spaces cargo and awards 0 points

[twin fog]

Do you know why?

[near bloom]

“My good sire, please stop talking - it seems you need your mouth to breathe!”

[near bloom]

Probably to fix some of the longer standing issues.

Wrong tournament bands, stuck tasks, refinement of tasks (if we’re lucky!)

[slim sierra]

You can't. It is indefinitely located wherever it starts.

[twin fog]

I hope you’re right. Should still have communication on it.

[near bloom]

Mainly just to punish us and make us wait even longer.

[mighty bone]

I did it politely last time, I used the words like special, should be fired or moved to a job with less math skills.

Still got a warning

[near bloom]

That’s @heady moon’s department and I think the barrier there is Scopely generally prefer to tell us when something is coming rather than rabble rouse for things they don’t have dates for.

[rose oracle]

@slim sierra i have been near Risa for 6 years. The beach is getting boring

[exotic kraken]

Tuesdays seem like a better day for arenas because there’s nothing going on really

[near bloom]

See, we’re going to have to disagree on versions of nice then.

[indigo tangle]

Make fun of the situation, not the people. 🖖

[near bloom]

You just need better company. Let me relocate to Risa too. I bring occasional visits from stray rogues too!

[warm pivot]

you cant remember extended server maintainance, can you? ^^

[near bloom]

We can talk about the weather, and British food and how it’s the best food in the world.

[silver parcel]

Tuesday is patch day, they're not going to run it then

[rose oracle]

@near bloom last time you came by i had to buy new curtains. You're a little messy potato

[heady talon]

you mean bug day.....

[silver parcel]

That's everyday

[mighty bone]

My server at that time hadn't ascended past 51. We were matched against a server with 61+ players. Special was nice.

[exotic kraken]

When maintenance begins on my server, it’s usually 3 o’clock in the morning so nobody’s really doing arenas

[near bloom]

I’d apologise but it was such a good party, next time I’ll pick up the dry cleaning tab.

[twin fog]

@heady moon can you please make an official post about alliance tournaments that SHOULD be running between arcs. Also telling us why it’s not please.

[random jetty]

Your Silver rating bumps you up a bit and the team you went against is all bronze.

[near bloom]

The problem is when you start talking about fired and special and stuff, it’s incredibly insulting. That stuff just doesn’t need to be said to convey displeasure with the event. No amount of in game spend places anyone on any pedestal that they get to insult anyone or suggest they’re fired. Mental health is a thing, and the staff aren’t kicking posts because our impulse control isn’t working.

Most days I leave constructive feedback for Scopely folks, and it tells them what I’m upset about, why I’m upset about it and makes zero assumptions about competence or otherwise and makes no mention of things that are - frankly - for Scopely to manage internally if indeed there is a failing of an individual.

[mighty bone]

You have to admit, they do things that reflect a lack of care or responsibility to the community's needs.

I changed to my game name.

[near bloom]

You have to admit you’ve assumed that that is reflective of an individual or individuals involved in the development of the game you play and not a constraint given by those with other interests.

[kind mist]

How can I leave an arena search if our Team leader is afk?

[mighty bone]

Individual needs are not what's at mind when entire servers are stuffed under a bus.

[exotic kraken]

You can press leave team on the bottom left corner

[heady moon]

I'll see what I can do!

[near bloom]

Which is why I think it is far better to articulate the problem you have and why it affects you, dispassionately, so that it can be passed to the right people and not written off as incoherent angry rants 🙂

[karmic jay]

I haven't been able to login to scopely for months now
Is the place where I can get help,?

[kind mist]

but we are already in search and found an opponent

[stuck abyss]

@heady moon thank you for investigating the territory pass events. Will today’s takeovers count. (Restart event) or will there be a chest coming for the missed points?

[near bloom]

You’ll need to get in touch with support using any of the methods in #👽-how-to-contact-support

They can help you best.

[exotic kraken]

You could try direct messaging the leader on discord if you have a discord

[slim sierra]

@mighty bone Automod caught that. Please do not repeat it. Also, to answer the question you were asking -- most humans actually don't remember feedback delivered with insults, we remember the insult and not the valid points. So, to relay feedback and hope it sticks, the insults are ineffective.

[mighty bone]

You know why I did it in such a manner? Because of the exact response I got.

I didn't have to wait 24 hours for scopely to notice my complaint. It was noticed right away and do you know that whole thing was shuffled 5 hours later.

[near bloom]

Yeah, behaviour that you think was effective just loses you the avenues that you think were effective in getting that change.

[heady moon]

I don't think so...

[bitter temple]

hmmm fully expected my mining event to complete with the arena que... it didn't.. it didn't score at all

[heady talon]

Its a 'feature'

[warm pivot]

first leave node, then join match

are us arenas running already?

[exotic kraken]

For some reason, I keep getting Armada notifications, but when I go to look, there is no armada present

[near bloom]

“This is terrible, what kind of (insert insult here - something about special) is in charge of this, they should be fired, if I was this incompetent I’d be fired, if I ignored my clients yadda yadda”

Straight in the bin, or via a community volunteer who has to bin it for you. No help whatsoever.

“I’ve found this whole experience incredibly frustrating. Our server is level locked which exacerbates the problem of these matches as there is nobody in our alliance who can deal with these instances, but first and foremost it’s just really demoralising. I want to engage in this feature but it’s really difficult to maintain that interest when we’re just not getting a fair match out”

Which do you think gets to the dev and product teams for them to do something (or nothing, their choice after all) with?

[snow zinc]

Neither

[bold field]

Hey scoplay... arena on mining monday is daft just saying

[near bloom]

You might think that yelling and screaming has got you results… it hasn’t. And anyone that wants to pull the “after this long, they should be doing better” card, “after this long, you’d think your expectations would be better balanced”.

[normal elm]

it's great, more points for us under 40s

[random jetty]

Someone in your alliance is running a Solo armada.

[exotic kraken]

That’s probably what happened. Thank you.

[near bloom]

I have sympathy with the US servers. For the APAC and EU runs, I hate premining, I love when it runs. US have this run during the actual event.

It is… sub optimal.

😂

[bold field]

well yah have to choose which event is more important and recrew

[warm pivot]

cant wait for the first matchmaking rage pics ^^

[heady talon]

it takes a whole 10 minutes to complete the mining event anyway

[exotic kraken]

Just make sure there’s no names because we don’t want to embarrass anybody

[random jetty]

Happens to me all the time as alot of us run solos. You can also ask folks in your AC if they are running any solos to verify but I am pretty certain that is the cause. Happy Hunting!

[stuck abyss]

Unfortunate. Every other TC pass Monday takeovers counted. We have members that were relying on todays takeover counting

[burnt niche]

@heady moon Sever 402 vs 403 is listed on Day 1 and Day 2 in the Inclusion Schedule????

[near bloom]

Don’t you want to get the do-over booked in?

[burnt niche]

What is a do over... i thought it was a mistake as I didn't notice other servers with dual schedule

[random jetty]

And this match was just perfect as well. Look at the power equality. Those Generation level of ships available are equally matched right?

[near bloom]

When you lose, you get another go to see if you can win all the stuff they took of you back.

(It’s a joke, Hammy has raised it and it’s being looked into)

[daring shadow]

This is the worst matchmaking I've seen in any game.. the teams aren't evenly matched, arena's is a joke..

This needs to be a +- 2 ops kinda thing not 7

[random jetty]

We had some matches last week that went the full time as we had some balance with ops/power and those were FANTASTIC MATCHES. It was a great game of keep away basically. keep them from armada scoring while they kept us from it as well. Was the most fun we had in game, EVER.

scores were sub 300

we lost some, we won some

Today is horrible comparatively.

[bold field]

I just smoke a team of a 48, 53 and 54 and we were 46, 48, 53... they had 100k power on us

1200+ to 450ish

[random jetty]

That looks like it could have been a good match. But you are all stuck in limbo?

[lime wraith]

replace incursions with alliance tournaments IMO

[lime jacinth]

Yep

[lime wraith]

or at least tournaments should have a regular schedule. at least monthly

[lime jacinth]

We are going to live here for 10 days 🤣

[ashen harbor]

Do I miss out on merger in 2 days then 🤣

at the very least when the event is over it "should" move you back no matter what. "should" I hope.

[urban needle]

not working anyway. We finished as masters and now we been switched to novice....

[young echo]

@lapis seal @heady moon changed it from 5 to 3 man arena teams and now this is what I am facing 4 of 5 matches. It needs to be grouped by levels to where G6 uc vs G6 uc, rare vs rare, epic vs epic. Theres no competition the way it is and theres no surrender button so we are stuck waiting for the other team.

[solid umbra]

Arena is such a joke

[warm pivot]

just asking, bc there is a speedy hamster here atm 😄

Interesting but on djz stream few days ago you gave the update that October and November was cancelled for dumb reasons.
So is it that the real feedback is being forwarded now (that players do want to have them) and we might get chances to see that event in November at least again? Or do we need to wait for next year to complete our half or even one third unlock of stuff? 🤔

[cobalt bear]

It's fine, I'm sure they'll be issuing the winners chests as comp and re-opening the store. Right? Guys? Bueller?

[ripe rivet]

They need to go back and give the points to those who did TC today. In our case, this was our last chance to earn points since our server merges tomorrow and our alliance won't be able to compete in territory with the new groups. We lost it at the tail end of the last TC season also when they ended the season on Sunday and I missed my chance to hit the last milestone. If they want us to spend for passes, they can't change the rules mid-stream. Or next territory reset they could re-wicker the territory times so that the week ends on Sunday.

Or maybe it is, lol.

[warm pivot]

its stfc ^^

does that make it better or worse? 🤔

[hot dove]

Worse than 95, but better than vista

[random jetty]

And another example of a wonderfully balanced match with no disparity between ship generations or power levels.

[green mural]

How does a group started by an Ops 43 get matched with a group started by an Ops 56? How on earth does that even make sense?

[random jetty]

Scopely match making at its' finest

Felt like I was going against Deef and Balooga

[final cove]

the same way the pvp OPS level is designed, an OPS 40 can get his life stomped out of him by some OPS 61 whale

they don't really care about the lower OPS levels, only their whales

[warm pivot]

with enough grind, a little bit of strategy and some level of skill even small ops can rank up and get terran factionstore stuff

think of it as a new ship f2p grind, 3 months till it gets normal 🤪

[little violet]

should be 49.99

Anyone else getting event completion winner things coming up when they shouldn’t be? I’ve been getting this every few minutes for the past 24 hours and it’s driving me nuts. This was yesterdays event 🙈

Don't need to defeat them... Use nsea with a speed crew...

They have speed crews too...

Their speed crews don't seem to ever lag. Must have brought those prime connection packs

[brave ore]

goooooood evening! Tonight we're gonna push matchmaking to it's limits. Is there strategy to having a team CLOSELY tied in ops? OR WIDELY varied in ops? We'll look at it both ways tonight and try to break the matchmaking to our benefit! Let's see if the algorithm can handle some player pushback!

https://www.twitch.tv/ultimatdjz

[whole robin]

at around what tier does a K't'inga become higher power than a maxxed d4??

like I remember my D4 didn't become stronger than B'rel til tier 5 or 6

[little violet]

I would say tier 1..

[whole robin]

ah true bigger level difference

I gotta get grinding that rep 😄

if you have the extra ship repair slot does it work in Arena??

[little violet]

no

[whole robin]

ok good to know I don't have it 😄

[little violet]

Me either, but they said you can only repair 1

[whole robin]

does winning give more resources than losing? the things for terran faction store lol

400 for a loss and 1000 for a win

[lean coyote]

Your matchmaking is friggin horrid

[chrome drift]

Screw you scopley

[gray lintel]

Wow last 2 perfect examples of how matchmaking should work.
Winning streak bronze facing higher ranked silver teams, and lower rank winners meeting stronger similar ranked teams.

Just like past weeks there are no gold ranked teams yet or even platinum.

Highest being silver and bronze.

[chrome drift]

I'm trying to hit gold today

I'm halfway there

My current teammates are both silver1 and I'm silver 2 about to be silver 3

[fading belfry]

that's a good example of a check that should be added to the matching. no g5 players will match a team of all g4 players

[chrome drift]

The ops 56 guy in that pic agrees

Just got into one with a 53 player

[fading belfry]

we had one with2 53's on the other team. it didn't go well for us mid 40's

[remote thunder]

Why did the TC event end a day early?@heady moon I had TCs today and missed out on the points for the BP because of that.

[naive blade]

@heady moon

Seriously?! How is the pairing even remotely close to fair? All we can do is lose our rankings.

[random jetty]

Your silver ranking increases your ops level in matchmaking

[naive blade]

Just like getting matched against this?

I've done well in arena when fairly matched but having 59-64 go against a 70 or 3 g5 players go against all 67s?! What's the point.

Just sit and wait 10 minutes to lose and have a reduction in ranking.

[bitter temple]

wise man say go into arena expecting loss...than feel joy and surprise when you actually win.

[little violet]

https://tenor.com/view/confucius-fart-brain-smart-genius-gif-11935634

[bitter temple]

especially when they're 56s rocking g4 ships

[opal meadow]

This matchmaking is terrible. Another terrible thing that could be great

Make it 1v1 against your level only

P2W will dominate but hopefully you find a few you have a chance against

A 57 with a 600m Sanctus fighting a 63 with a 5b cube just makes zero sense.

[naive blade]

And another terrible matchup @heady moon

[bitter temple]

You play arena for the pvp fights, I play to put ships into the 2min penalty box.

[delicate sentinel]

I understand that Scopley reads this so please Scopley what are you thinking pitting me a G5 Ops 56 against a team with a G6 Ops 65? What precisely did you think I was going to pit against that? PVP is great but dang I know better than to pick a fight with some one who will win ever single time - point blank Scopley this is not fun and I am not gonig to particpapte till you fix the issue

[blissful swallow]

I see yours and raise you mine

[blissful swallow]

They had the better crew

[slow mica]

I’ll tell those 3 good job on beating coach

[jade stream]

i was suprised i won, i dont know how

[naive blade]

Did you see me matched against a 70 with a t18 cube? Mathematically impossible

That was a 59,a 60, and 64 against him

[vale spear]

Suckley, great job on the match pairing for arenas!

[blissful swallow]

You are a 60 dude. I'm a 50

[slow mica]

You choose to stay at 50

[blissful swallow]

I am. I don't spend. I spent 20 this year

[naive blade]

Yup.... Point being the matching today is beyond horrendous. This is headed towards Starbase level participation

[slow mica]

lol coach you know I don’t believe that and almost everyone on server 51 doesn’t also lol

[jade stream]

🤣

[blissful swallow]

Well anyone on my alliance can confirm. They never get gifts from me. I'm just better at this game.

I have reciepts

[jade stream]

you can do it anonymous

[opal meadow]

Yep. Starbase participation within a month for sure. What a waste

[slow mica]

You mean u get carry by high ops lol 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[frank iris]

Do better scopely

[jade stream]

fix power matchups or remove negative rank points

[opaque badger]

50/49/46 vs 63/56/50 seems fair

[gloomy talon]

If they can limit joing to 7 levels up or down...then they can match opponents similarly. If a 63 starts then the matched starter is also a 63.

[gloomy talon]

50 should have been matched with a 50 starter.

[opaque badger]

You’d hope but nope

[tepid lotus]

What do you do if there's not a free same level starter to match with though?

[opaque badger]

My tribune is supposed to beat an ent d apparently

[gloomy talon]

Sorry to hear it...would be awesome if done that way.

[gloomy talon]

3 lower or 1 higher?

Thanks your starter
