[thorn fjord]

You saying Arenas also need to check your spend too?

[near bloom]

Rank has that covered

[warm pivot]

as if armada primes are equally as impactful as pvp primes ^^

[thorn fjord]

Only if whales stick to their own pods and don’t take in freeloaders

[warm pivot]

and a thousand in pvp officers > 1k in stationprogression packs xD

[near bloom]

Freeloaders are people too!

[near bloom]

Dude bought things cos it annoyed him seeing things he hadn’t bought in the store

He wanted the store to be empty

[warm pivot]

i m the same, if there is a slice of pizza left i have to eat it ^^

[near bloom]

The dictionary definition of “that’s not a limit, that’s a target”

[woeful compass]

What about unlimited packs🤣

[warm pivot]

what was the world record? 482 chicken nuggies?

[near bloom]

He tried, and got bored on one of those. His words were “I think they’re less limited than my patience”

[late ermine]

Its always better to fight fight a whale 😂 who is your lvl than a whale higher than u

🤣 a endless pit when u start u can't stop otherwise u will fall behind others

[ornate moat]

Depends. Are you playing their game. Or your own ? I buy packs to extend my game entertainment, not to justify or keep up with someone else.

[mental mauve]

and again, thx for nothing - matchmaking

[oak sonnet]

its so sweet to play with all this laggs

[near bloom]

Two ops levels different, average, offset by your gold/silver ranking vs their silver/bronze

[north torrent]

Nice "improved" matching System. OPS 70 with 136b Ships still machted against OPS 60-65 with Ships of 4-6b. Thanks for nothing...

[dark shadow]

Ops 70 is the problem. They are exponentially stronger than one ops lower than them. There is no way to balance those out unless ops 70 could only play arena with other ops 70, lol.

[indigo tangle]

Put Ops 66-70 together, it's still lopsided, but it gives them somewhat of a fighting chance.

[near bloom]

I don’t think there’s any real fix for the Ops 70 because unless you happen to have two teams squaring up at the same time, they’re always going to be getting disappointingly easy matches.

Someone told Ty’Gokor I’d build another Kvort. All day there and I’ve had 3 of the 8 remaining BPs for it 🤣

[north torrent]

Thats a point and i dont have a solution for the 70 problem. but its screwing up arena for all other G6 Players below and that cant be

[near bloom]

I agree, and it’s a shame.

[solemn plaza]

Maybe time to open up G7

[near bloom]

It’s the exponential power explosions again and again that’s hindering enjoyment in a good feature.

[slim sierra]

Even for the 70s, tbh. They don't actually like rolling over speedbumps with no challenge either but they do like to finally play with the pretty ships.

[near bloom]

https://tenor.com/view/dr-evil-how-about-no-austin-powers-gif-17640212

[slim sierra]

Not a great answer here.

I will relay your request to speed up G7.....

https://tenor.com/view/dancing-coffin-coffin-dance-funeral-funny-farewell-gif-16737844

[near bloom]

Do not

[fierce fossil]

and scopely will hastly abide with the "many player asked for this"

[near bloom]

https://tenor.com/view/daddys-home2-daddys-home2gifs-stop-it-stop-that-i-mean-it-gif-9694318

Don’t make me fetch my bad gifs.

[slim sierra]

"we have heard your feedback..... overwhelming desire to..."

(because that one guy said)

[near bloom]

They don’t listen to us guys and gals on 404 asking for ascension.

[thorn narwhal]

Anyone think solo players should also be able to take part in Arena…not everyone wants the alliance dramas. Be able to launch, not join take their loss and 400 currency. They are happy, the winners are happy….everybody happy…afterall they can (sic) solo lv60 Epics…why not be in Arena?

[late ermine]

Put g7 launch before 404 asension 🤣 or maybe thats the " plan "

[solemn plaza]

Might as well ask about G8 at the same time.

[near bloom]

I live in hope that one person deliberately misrepresenting the desire for G7 will be equally ignored.

🤣

[dull mason]

Ha ha

[near bloom]

Shoosh Barny

Don’t make me come down to your ops level and point at the dock you could build.

CMs need to decide who they want to troll more, me or Barny.

🤣

[dull mason]

I was told a long long time ago, when I was a Kid..

👉🏼 I want never Gets...

[near bloom]

Aha, but in this instance they can’t troll both of us.

[late ermine]

Guess so 🤣

[near bloom]

If Barny goes 39 HD is no longer “bigger after 5 weeks than he is in years”

But if we can ascend they can’t troll us for being 39

But, give it another month or two, they could still troll us for being stuck at 50.

So there’s that.

[late ermine]

I mean u gota be far away from maxing stuff for 39s surely even if you are done most of your server probably not

[dull mason]

Other game's " Rent - out " second builder and research options..
Other game's " offer "
Other troops similar to 👉🏼( Dock's ) when you go up VIP like 👉🏼 ( Syndicate level )
And other games offer server transfer,

These things would be an awesome Improvement

[near bloom]

You get additional docks with ops level

You just choose not to go get them

That’s on you, not Scopely

You rent everything in this game

So…

[late ermine]

Sever transfer what stfc like game you are talking about lol

[dull mason]

I turned level
👉🏼 # 39 yesterday

[near bloom]

<@&509690795536941056> we need you to ascend 404 urgently so that Barny stays stuck behind 🤣

Let me guess

You now need a ton of crystal G2?

[late ermine]

For doc lol

[near bloom]

There’s a pack for that, btw.

It’s OK, I hate me too.

[late ermine]

Funny stuff i remember i have wait a week or 2 for that lol

[solemn plaza]

To sit at 46 or rush to 49....decisions decisions.

[near bloom]

I got bored after one refine and bought the pack last time

This time I was only about 5 weeks old an account so I still had tons 🤣

[late ermine]

Same slb braket rush 49

The moment i build my g4 rare i went from 46 to 49

[solemn plaza]

I'm in the ops 45 slb bracket for the spend event atm 😂😂

[late ermine]

Was worth it

[near bloom]

I did that on one spend event. Ops 25 to Ops 33, the bracket was well and truly beaten 🤣

[late ermine]

Ok yea i mean if you going 46 and then can build your g4 rare go 49 no downsides

[dull mason]

Nope, I never stopped mining 2* and I picked the ascension pyramid thing last night,
I'm a handful of building's short of L40

[near bloom]

Poor “I’m going to upgrade my Kumari” guys got battered.

[solemn plaza]

I went 45 to 46 and T7 a pilum the other day.

[late ermine]

More than enough go 49 theres no actual downsides

[near bloom]

Stop mining stuff that is zero use and you won’t need all those docks!

[solemn plaza]

Yeah I'm also liking that the Dabo table rewards scale as you ops up.

[late ermine]

I have never done my mining dailys hate 🤣 it lol

[dull mason]

I regularly scrap 4/5 👉🏼 2* ship's a week

[late ermine]

Although now that i am ops 50+ i kinda have to do every other day because of intel event

[near bloom]

For all six 3* mats?

One more of my 5 remaining Kvort BPs!

Now 4 left to get.

96M Fed rep

[late ermine]

U get a decent chunk of ... G3 crystal actually if u scrap envoys

[warm pivot]

feels like the arena became easier with the new ops bonding change in matchmaking

[late ermine]

For sure

[dull mason]

I only need 13/14 Antares bps, then I have the set of 3 miner's

[oak basin]

https://tenor.com/view/why-huh-but-why-gif-13199396

that was @ scrapping 2* ships

[warm pivot]

5 matches, 5 wins, 3 times even matchups, and 1-1 in terms of handicap

[oak basin]

'reply' dissapeared, idky

but srsly, why

the return is not worth the investment

[dull mason]

Yeah 😆👍🏼

[late ermine]

Same stuff 16 win 3 loss today almost 90% matches where even / avg ops or near even or avg

Only 1 times we got snowballed and i guess we did that to enemy 2 times

[oak basin]

https://tenor.com/view/clerks-seton-hall-gif-22174429

[late ermine]

And even that theres wasnt a very big avg ops difference

[summer raven]

nice arena fights ! png to png laggy as hell

[near bloom]

33 Uncommons. I get more than double on at least one if not both daily refines 🤣

[dull mason]

You should try a Tunnocks
Snowball 😋😋

[near bloom]

Doing anything that needs effort for the Envoy scrapping is bonkers.

[late ermine]

No idea what is that lol

[near bloom]

If I’ve got it, meh, maybe.

Otherwise, hard pass.

[warm pivot]

i met an ops rushed 46 as "teamcarry", people should really stop depending on a monaveen alone for progression

[late ermine]

Early 30s yea not on late 30s or 39 lol

[late ermine]

Yup people really like those fluff ship " nsa " lol

[warm pivot]

nsea is nice, i like the gameover retry buff ^^

[late ermine]

Yea but people skiping their fkr for nsa hell nha

Its nice nice good for arena as speed ship but shouldn't be your main pvp or gridning ship

[late ermine]

Ahh ok

Fancy name for some marshmallows lol

[tough vapor]

<@&509690795536941056>
The lag is terrible. Is this gonna be the new sandard?

[muted cape]

has been for 6 years

[oak basin]

but buy the aldi version, they're better

likewise with caramel wafers

[lime wolf]

Ive seen in other games Buffs / Debuffs to try and even out the playing field. Restrict what ships can be sent. "Arenas are G4 and G3 only" that will at least give people a CHANCE. but a lvl 70 with a 25billion cube with speed crew.... No point. Alternatly, have a surender button. insta win/loose and GET RID OF THE DAMN LOSSING POINTS. Worse thing they have implemented in a while

[ornate moat]

<@&509690795536941056> lag and exception errors every minute/every time we click on anything on EU 106

[jade summit]

Still trash matchmaking in arena mode....is scopely playing the own game?

[earnest raven]

Use Chaos Tech Chaosmatter? We need $$$ to buy the CT before we can use it right?

[lime wolf]

there is one in the Premium battle pass, cheapest way, but yes., its P2W

[naive escarp]

its pay to lag

[lime wolf]

No, lag is free

[naive escarp]

yeah but yall keep paying for it

[graceful sage]

Is this coming? And did the SMS just get deleted from the calendar? @terse jackal

[slim sierra]

https://tenor.com/view/linus-tech-tips-ltt-bug-gif-19900847

[naive escarp]

this whole arc is pay to play, a lot of new years resolutions will be coming early this year.

[placid maple]

How you figure? Continuum grind is F2P, IA is F2P. Only thing this arc that is P2P is chaos tech unlocks.

[naive escarp]

you're unlocking all the Q officers for free right?

[earnest raven]

Continuum grind for what? What is the purpose of this grind? To get mats for something F2P can't upgrade?

[naive escarp]

all the battlepasses are free too

[muted cape]

the last one gave only 4K of each ship UC parts (at Rank 1) Not really something to look forward to

[fierce fossil]

BP not scoring for mining

[graceful sage]

Eco was maybe going to change the rewards though

[muted cape]

You can unlock the slots on your ship (unlocking scores in the events) and eventually those tech will be f2p so having a stockpile of the upgrade mats is a must

[warm pivot]

Deceptive, Charismatic, Specialist... 🤔 strang combination

[earnest raven]

I have been grinding and refining daily since it has gone live. I still don't have enough to unlock slot on any ship....

[muted cape]

the bundle on left is how its assumed it would be f2p, this was on bek's video. But not added yet

[golden cliff]

This is ridiculous

[muted cape]

The min slot is 600 for common ships and 2K for epic

[naive escarp]

looks like a pay arc to me

[earnest raven]

My Sanctus shows I need 3000 btw.

G4 Talios is 2000 Chaos Tech Fusion Rods...

[muted cape]

@golden cliff responded to wrong message discord is jumping

[muted cape]

i dont have g5 ships, so couldnt check

[earnest raven]

What event are you referring to? I don't see any events that needs Chaos Tech Fusion Rods?

[muted cape]

thats because an event is not running at the moment, but their was one last week to spend/upgrade/unlock.

pratcially no one scored as no one noticed unlocking the slot scored aswell 😄 most SLB's had a few players

[earnest raven]

Actually I found it. To Go Further Beyond SLB - that one will take Chaos Tech Fusion Rods.

[muted cape]

yeh most players assumed it was a P2P only event so ignored it

[placid maple]

👀 I got rank 2 on that only unlocked 1 slot 🤣 was 4 players on my slb

[terse jackal]

Looking into this now

[terse jackal]

I'm a big dummy and got my dates wrong, it's happening on Wednesday not today

[graceful sage]

oh and if the rewards are still the ucnommon parts, don't bother

[terse jackal]

Today is the CT SLB

It's not I cahnged it lol

[magic sand]

Also. Isn’t there supposed to be an archives slb today

[terse jackal]

Wednesday, I got my dates wrong

Today is CT

I sent a message over to paulie and I'm going to chagne the IGN

u been playing for quite awhile now u dont know this....???

[fierce fossil]

pretty sure it was monday last time

"the delayed" one

and yes it was in the first arc week now they suddenly delay it

[formal dragon]

@terse jackal are you back?

[graceful sage]

I’ve never seen so many heroic SMSs. Wonder if the arc runner gets a kick back based on player spend that month….

[woeful compass]

that was in the picture lol

[oak basin]

sheningans going on in the background for tournaments atm? alliance league seems to keep changing everytime i look

also, arenas are unplayably laggy

also possibly not scoring properly, the lag makes it a bit hard to tell

[near bloom]

@terse jackal do you get paid based on spend? 👀

[gray lintel]

They still not issued your 2024 scopely calendar... Good luck getting 2025s

[solemn plaza]

How get the rare Qs.

[warm pivot]

https://tenor.com/view/money-money-money-make-it-rain-dolla-dolla-bills-dollars-cash-gif-15485267

[humble orbit]

Cash shop, or end of arc event store. More sourcing will come out down the line.

[terse jackal]

I just published the changes to the calendar

[solemn plaza]

They're not in my store.

[terse jackal]

Soap there was an issue with the store for a minute, can you refresh and check again?

I just did and they are now showing

[humble orbit]

This isn't the end of the arc.

[warm pivot]

its the beginning of at least 2 months, 3 more likely ^^

[terse jackal]

@humble orbit There was an issue with the offers not showing in the shop

We just fixed it

Might be what they are referring to

[humble orbit]

How long is the arc going to be? there's enough room for at least 2 more months.

[maiden blaze]

where is this prime?

[solemn plaza]

They're there now.
Still missing the common CT though.

[humble orbit]

What's the pack called?

[terse jackal]

Really? It's not in the new section?

Should be right next to the temporal conduit towards the front

[solemn plaza]

I have the 2 $100 epics there but no $10 common.

[terse jackal]

I know this is a dumb question, but your'e $100 sure you didn't buy it?

[buoyant zenith]

daft question, in the event store, why is there no 5* epic ore or gas but there is 5* epic crystal?

[peak sedge]

Getting a chain or crashes in Arena. PC client, first crashes I've had in months

[solemn plaza]

I'm $1000 sure I didn't buy it.

[terse jackal]

Can you DM me your player ID please?

[solemn plaza]

It's not letting me DM you 🥲😂

[humble orbit]

Anything on the right of your SS like this?

[humble orbit]

To send DMs, you'll need to turn off the setting that prevents others from sending you DMs. Leaving it on shuts them down both ways.

[solemn plaza]

I don't have that on.

[humble orbit]

Looks like this.

And I had it backwards. Need to set it on.

[solemn plaza]

I just turned everything on and now it works 🤣

[terse jackal]

Soap it wasn't you

There was a conflict in the store not letting you see it

It's been adjusted which is why you se it now after a reset. Didn't want you think you were going crazy @solemn plaza haha

[solemn plaza]

It just showed up thank you.

[thorn narwhal]

Continious Error 5 anyone?🤪

[maiden blaze]

ah thx. i am wearing glasses, seems blindness is an issue for me

[sharp owl]

Hey @terse jackal could you make a separate bucket for this enormous amount of “heroic” events? It’s getting rather hard to find the events that don’t require a credit card.

[terse jackal]

yeah the event tab is bad right now, and it's my fault. I'm going to spend some time fixing it tomorrow

[near bloom]

Glad someone else called that out, I thought I might be being unreasonable 🤣

Also @terse jackal naughty naughty putting the cosmetics on T2 of the officers. Noped out, don’t mind unlocking to get the cosmetics at fiddies, but not paying hundos each for them.

[terse jackal]

Naw especially after today

it looks bad

[terse jackal]

https://tenor.com/view/oh-my-god-gif-23934762

[near bloom]

Shame I can’t post that screenshot 🤣

[near bloom]

I’d pay a hundo for the pair, but I’m not paying a hundo each sorry.

[terse jackal]

Fair enough HD

[near bloom]

As much as I love this avatar

[terse jackal]

Sorry for the miss on that one

[near bloom]

Spending more on bikes nowadays than this.

[terse jackal]

Ew bikes?

Kidding, that's cool

[near bloom]

Pink ones!

[terse jackal]

Oh that's sick

[near bloom]

For the wife

[terse jackal]

I love the colors honestly

[solemn plaza]

Would also be nice to have a $20 pack with ONLY the officer shards.

[terse jackal]

Pink and Cyan always work well together

[terse jackal]

I'll take note of that, but don't think we've ever done something like that before for the new rare have we?

[near bloom]

This was the inspo for the pink

[terse jackal]

Super cool HD

Ok I need to go update spreadsheets, and I haven't had any caffeine this morning

[solemn plaza]

Used to do it with ships. Would have 3 different options for ship way back when.

[terse jackal]

So I'm going to take my leave at this time

Understood Soap

[near bloom]

I get the impression from the recent content that a lot of this is trying to encourage more out of those more casual spending, the key to that is balance.

[terse jackal]

Fair enough

Ok I'm outta here, appreciate you all

[near bloom]

The old ways didn’t really work for the casual spenders and getting them to regularly spend twenties and fifties is more effective.

[terse jackal]

Have a great day Eco!

[fathom flicker]

Y'all is support in today?

[terse jackal]

❤️

[near bloom]

Yep

[late ermine]

U know what might be a good idea 🙂 its regarding how chimera damage slb braket is - 53 to ops 70 all in one braket i understand for grinding and spend slb but in a slb where damage done in one round matters the most theres no way someone with g5 unc can beat people who has g5 epic or g6 ships

[near bloom]

Been talking to CS today.

[fathom flicker]

Hmmm I put a ticket in earlier today and they still haven't gotten back to me about it

[late ermine]

Weekend ?

[near bloom]

It can take a while for allocation and first contact

[stray pawn]

@queen jolt exciting new matchmaking 😂

[fathom flicker]

Nah it was today at 7:00 this morning

[late ermine]

I mean mostly takes a day or 2 if i am honest

[late ermine]

Very rarely get a quick response

[late ermine]

Its nice now that matching have improved

[fathom flicker]

I mean I haven't been able to switch my back up account to my lvl 50 account for 2 days now

[near bloom]

60.3 recurring vs 60.6 recurring.

Nothing to see here other than the other team having a really spread team.

[stray pawn]

As you know PvP is this game doesn’t work that way. 66 has a 7bn cube, maxed tantalus and Q Cannon

[late ermine]

Oh its you lol @opal meadow

[near bloom]

That’s not matchmaking, that’s team forming and I personally think 7 levels each way is a very large spread, but probably needs “wider than a single alliance” pool availability for team building to change it.

[peak sedge]

Can't select my ships in arena. My docks disappear, several resets have not helped

[late ermine]

I mean honestly that is a pretty even match by avg ops ...

[stray pawn]

I don’t think matchmaking will ever work tbh as the PvP mechanics in this game usually means the biggest ship is able to clear the system

[late ermine]

I mean enemy team can ask why are we getting ops 60 when i am ops 55 😂 its avg ops what can i say

[near bloom]

Indeed, all the complaints I’ve seen so far today are because there are teams using a wider spread of ops vs a team with a narrow band.

[near bloom]

You’ll get used to it.

[late ermine]

Yup i mean no solution if i were that ops 55 in enemy i can ask why do enemy have ops 59 as lowest

[kind dragon]

@heady moon @queen jolt for improvement to the game can the chat feature get an overhaul? Multi-person private chats, GIFs, better emojis (graphic enhancements as well). There is so much that could/needs to be added to improve the chat experience. In addition could a ready check system be created for a commodore or admiral to PM the alliance and each member checks either a green check or red x showing they read the message?

[stray pawn]

We have a spread of 3. They have a spread of 11

[near bloom]

Kinda my point, no?

[late ermine]

I mean surely u have definitely seen better matches

[stray pawn]

Been like since 29/11/18 first day I played

[south haven]

What's the redeem code for the current arc?

[late ermine]

Q surprise

[near bloom]

Then it shouldn’t be a surprise 🙂

[stray pawn]

I never said it was. Just the reason why arena matchmaking will never work

[late ermine]

Definitely working tho

[near bloom]

All it takes is a Lv50 with a maxed protector and y’all be complaining about them too 😂

[peak sedge]

The game simply isn't ready for Arenas. Mixing G4/5/6 will never be a balanced or enjoyable experience, and there are (apparently) not enough G6 players to have separate brackets. Maybe shelve it and try again once more people are at G6 🤷‍♂️

[late ermine]

Everyone in my alliance enjoyed it a lot today nearly 0 big different

[near bloom]

They’d have to stop keeping me and Fakez in G3 🤣

Always going to be complaints

[earnest raven]

At that point, there will be G7's that we will complain about.

[late ermine]

Next day if they do all g4 and g5 we will get why someone has a max hegatha 🤣 or max ent I can't beat him or why does he have a max tantulas an dq cannon i can't beat it its just never ending

[peak sedge]

Indeed. An eventuality in any game. Much like the annoying apologists who spend all their time on discord antagnosing people. Can't stop it

But, that doesn't mean you have to tolerate it

[near bloom]

Where antagonists?

I should fetch a mod for that.

[late ermine]

Its never about braket tho did u play many games today were all one sided or enemy ops heavy compare to you ?

[oblique hollow]

Can't log in ... Why can I not log in? Retrying at 76% and just stands there???

[earnest raven]

On Data? Try switching to wifi?

[late ermine]

I mean i had 6 team playing from my alliance not a single one said today we had bad matching... And we are apac where theres a shortage of players idk why people will complain when there are visible improvement... And if they getting a avg ops

[near bloom]

Improvement doesn’t mean fixed though, we should be cautious of writing things down like that:

[oblique hollow]

PC client on LAN... Client is broken. Even repaired. No luck

[late ermine]

Actually i dont see a actual fix people need to stop whale Carry

[near bloom]

But in general observing the channels today, I observed that either people noped out (which is possible, although with Vindicator behind it less likely) or it was better.

Not perfect, there’s still issues and I’ve fed back to the team again as every time these run what I think will help, but better for sure.

[late ermine]

Hope they find one 😂

Did they made ops first priority instead of rank ? Today

Nvm i missed a announcement

[near bloom]

Narrowed acceptable average ops variance I believe

[late ermine]

Yea i see theres announcement ... Dumb me

[loud garnet]

Good afternoon, all 🖖

Is it intentional that mastery of the Botany Bay track in the Independent Archives eliminates any way of gaining Augment rep? Another member of my alliance mastered the track before hitting ALLY rep, and he's locked out of the mission and avatar that require maxed augment rep.

[late ermine]

Yup known issue

I send a ticket they just told me i have master it and unlocked all ( personally i don't care as in get full claim ) but they should do something about it

[near bloom]

Inadvertent side effect, they are aware and looking at it

[shy prism]

Anyone else having issues with Bookmarks not taking you to the stated location? Or clicking on mission locate button and it taking you somewhere completely different?

[twilit lintel]

whats the redeem code

nvm

Use Code: “QSurprise” starting 30min after Event Reset. Code will be live for 7 days

[earnest raven]

Links posted in chats also don't work either.

[twilit lintel]

or starting your game and all your bookmarks are gone?

This is so dumb, one big lvl player with a lvl 53 ship impossible to win

[coral sedge]

So we are getting an extra arena on another work day instead of even trying a weekend?

[near bloom]

So, because one person can beat all three of you you casually ignore that two of them should have no chance against you?

Further proof that to some people “good matchmaking” is “guaranteed win” 😂

You technically have the higher average ops. 🙂

And if we’re looking at power…

[short basin]

Yes, it’s a dumb match making, tried multiple times today but others have always one with a big and quick ship

[near bloom]

Sheesh that 48 is like waaaaay outclassed

If you lost that it was mainly a lack of trying.

[short basin]

We tried, send best ships with best PvP crew, but you stand no chance against bigger ships, some even with pay to win tech or crew 😒

[near bloom]

If you’re going to try and win PvP fights you’d lose against a team of 40s that are focused on the prize.

[buoyant scarab]

So many with tantalus fields. That thing ruined it a bit for me.

[near bloom]

Yeah I don’t see the way the game benefits from an 1800%+ hull boost

[split storm]

OI SCOPLEYUEYE

WHY AM I AGAINST 2 LEVEL 70S?!

my max squad mate is 68?!

[short basin]

Scopely 🤡

[near bloom]

Cos even the Lv70s need opponents sadly 🙈

You just drew the short straw as the best available at the end of the matchmaking.

We were talking about this earlier, as to who on earth the 70s are actually supposed to fight.

[steady mountain]

"fight"

[split storm]

Scopley said the matches would be based on Avarage power

the 70 alone has more power than the 3 of us combined xD

[short basin]

And no treasury in sight😔

[near bloom]

Average ops*

[near bloom]

I keep hearing Thursday

[split storm]

so 61,66,68 vs 70,70 66

[short basin]

Would be nice

[gloomy spear]

Your 68 had to fight a 70 instead of a 54 sounds right to me

[near bloom]

Average 65 vs 68.6 recurring.

[gloomy spear]

which is pretty close to 70 in the grand scheme of things, right?

[near bloom]

One of the worst matches I’ve seen, but… unfortunately not that far apart ops wise, which is the challenge of exponential power growth.

[near bloom]

Exactly. Unfortunately there are several constructs throughout the game that make this near impossible if not impossible to achieve without there being the occasional “bad match”, cos the 70s unfortunately do need to match someone too.

The fact that on paper two players with identical crews and primes, one ops 41 with a Jelly and G3 epics and one Ops 42 with G4Us, the 42 should beat seven shades of snot out of the 41.

That’s unfortunately STFC.

[gloomy spear]

Hopefully matches will continue to improve as whales rank out of others competitive pool. Nothing to it but to do it.

[near bloom]

A very rational take - and one I believe to be accurate. Unfortunately those in high G6 will always be faced with occasionally hitting their “turn” to get battered by the Ops 70s, but there are so many fewer complaints today.

[ebon raven]

7 heroic events... getting silly now.... can they go in their own folder....

[frank pike]

Nah, they like the “buy a pack to complete me” events right up front and center.

Once you take those away then people really see how few events there actually are for them to participate in.

[split storm]

unless you have a 70, you should never got up against a 70

nvm 2

[mental mauve]

dear scopely, if you not change the matchmaking in the arena immediatly, many of us will quit. it's just no fun anymore

[frank pike]

This is still already far and away better reports than just last week when 70s were getting matched against entire teams in the mid 50s.

Nothing will be perfect, but take the friggin win when we can.

That pairing with the two 70s is not optimal, but at least on ops the other team was at least closer.

[ebon raven]

Actually makes me want to spend less just cause how hard they try to pump you for cash.... and then makes me do less in game cause can't see the wood for the trees of normal events....
Like I said... its getting silly

[frank pike]

Preaching to the choir, but you have to understand this has been a frog in a pot situation for years and many of us have long since stopped caring because we were shouted down way back when about it by apologists.

It’s here, it’s not going to change, and at some point the game will collapse under the weight of its own greed. Only way to avoid being hurt by it is stop spending and stop paying attention to arcs,

[short basin]

Exactly

[near bloom]

The mass of spend to do anything events making it hard to see things has been raised, and I believe Eco is planning to work on it tomorrow 🙂

[thorn narwhal]

presumably when those that are able to drop £1500-2500 A DAY, either get made redundent; put in jail; own a house or get married…or a combination of life changes 🤣

[frank pike]

That’s a reminder on how much faith to have in that one

[near bloom]

I’m not sure on the relevance of that to the event bucketing or lack of, but…

[long pendant]

Is there any way to farm sigma speed ups? Each 1 day speed cost 1.5 mil lat, and you get 30k /day from dailies. 😑

[near bloom]

@silver parcel do you gotta farm these in MU?

[frank pike]

Want to know how to work on the glut of pay to complete “events”?

DONT HAVE A MASSIVE AMOUNT OF PAY TO COMPLETE “events”

It’s like the “don’t be evil” mantra people tried to throw at EA for a decade

[long pendant]

Thanks, is there a specific system?

[frank pike]

Just toss the rewards into whatever pack you want the idjits to buy and get it out of peoples faces as some fake carrot reward for spending money.

[near bloom]

I agree, but they’re there now. They’ve been told, and I trust Eco when he says he’s gonna go back and look at it. A PvP officer month was always going to be spend centric, but it’s not like there isn’t anything for F2Ps or us light to mid spenders.

This month has been niiiice.

[elder lodge]

the event rewards have been meh but the archives is an awesome addition

[near bloom]

#🌌-galaxy-chat message 68 mu surveys drop 15 hr sigma speed ups, generally about 2-6 every 100 or so kills

From Arsenic who’s lurking in background as he’s probably doing arenas.

[long pendant]

Thx man @near bloom
Though 68s still tough for me 🙂

Will try lower 60s and see

Would love to know when the arena updates are happing seen as it looks no different from any other week

[near bloom]

Examples?

[warm pivot]

https://tenor.com/view/do-it-star-wars-emperor-palpatine-palpatine-gif-799657800635657398

[ashen harbor]

Still a bust for me with arenas. G4 can’t win against g5. G5 can’t win against g6. Until you stop that. It’s dead on arrival still.

And where is alliance tourneys.

[heady moon]

Not seeing any change in the matchmaking?

[final cipher]

Literally none

[warm pivot]

some people will disagree, but out of my perspective as gold 3 ranked ops 49 the new matchmaking made the matches WAY easier now that i dont meet 2+ shipgenerations anymore.
my opponents on the other hand probably now have issues because they got matched as bronze against a gold
but in terms of opslevels it cleary became more even now, but that doesnt mean anything, because you can rush ops and you can camp for a year on an ops

[umbral arch]

Nope my squad of a 54, 54, 55 always matched up with squads with 2 players 57 or above and a 59 can sweep all of our ships without a scratch

[thorn fjord]

just once it needs some sort of brackets lol

[warm pivot]

51-70 slb? 👀 🤪

[dusky cove]

I see some improvement but when a 49, 55, 55 team goes up against a 49, 56, 59 team there're still improvement to be made

[thorn fjord]

yea, thats one time the brackets are wrong without a doubt

as others have said, some sort of bracketing around shipyard level, if you dont have the appropriate ship, well, hard luck, but you will have one day

will always be some anomalies, like 46-49. 50-52

[warm pivot]

it is impossible to really balance it out, not even the amount spend or any other factor can make it actually fair. but i see this change as an absolute win. didnt run into any issues but i can imagin thats different for g5 / g6

[thorn fjord]

true, nothing will ever make it balanced or fair every time

if you have brackets, it would need to pull up, so a 56 and 2 49s, would face a team with at least a 56 in it, if not 3

which seems no better than now

[wide sundial]

I found the matchmaking less extreme this time. Didn’t run up against any ops 70’s like before. Sadly it’s still PvP and PvP is broken in this game. No amount of tweaking the matchmaking will make it fair when someone can have a max tantalus field and becomes untouchable

[radiant bay]

THe new matchmaking has been brilliant. I rarely say this but... "Amazing job Scopely"

[pale fern]

FIX THE LAG IN ARENA

[thorn fjord]

i think the match making is still variable sometimes, just depends on what levels are in your group

[pale fern]

@green sable

[potent gorge]

lag is a constant, in each version they only change the place to put it

[wide sundial]

One win out of 6 attempts. Not really motivating to keep playing this event. Will probably give the next round a miss. Lots of players feel the same scopely. You will have a degree of participation, mainly from the spenders and PvP lovers but the majority will leave it alone.

[warm pivot]

last week i was ops 47 and had to fight off a sanctus... while this time i didnt even encounter a g4 epic... could be luck but its 100% better ^^
i dont think even a tantalus field on a pilum could have helped against a 8times stronger sanctus

[pale fern]

i havent had lag before in arena except when we got trapped in it for 2 hours

this time i have my ships not able to join armadas with 20 seconds left,, ships killing my ships 3 seconds before they enter system.. while my ship charging for 15 seconds each time ,,,

[potent gorge]

luck you, for me it's laggy since day one

[snow remnant]

i also believe this too, out of 7 matches which my group all won we didnt have anyone higher than a 58 which is fine since our group was 49-56s

[green sable]

?

[pale fern]

youre starfleet can you fix the lag

[cursive harness]

From a time standpoint, Arena is FAR worse than any grind. One needs to commit a few hours to get enough loot for a weeks worth of pulls. And only on Monday afternoon/evening. So if you have some sort of conflict during that time slot… oh well, sucks for you.

[grand burrow]

Can u automate ships?

[bitter temple]

https://tenor.com/view/bonz-hero-gif-21867245

free from carl bot jail 😛

https://tenor.com/view/futurama-bender-dance-gif-4195777226086506084

[frank pike]

Better, but still seeing ranges as wide as 5 average, considering the difference in ship powers at higher ops between shipyard bumps that can still be a pretty bad matchup.

No 64/65 for example, can compete with even a middling 66, so tossing several 66s with one minimal end ops against a team of 60/61s is still a mud hole stomping.

[bitter temple]

ya i get stomped.. but that time i take out a 64.. priceless

[heady moon]

So improved, but we should keep iterating.

[frank pike]

Yes. Overall, improvement, but still needs refinement to give teams a mathematical chance each time.

Not seeing 10+ ops average differences this time at least between groups.

[lime hemlock]

Tbh honest I can stand loosing 5 fights in a row to same team. But laggggggg making 2 ships stuck in battle for minute or being unabke to spawn attack button is a no go.

[frank pike]

@heady moon Really, just remove the loss penalties and just give no rank gain for a loss and the rest of the issues from the player side will go away. Still slower progress but people will be less likely to avoid it as a whole like a lot of alliances still report on our server at least.

[oak basin]

are you saying the way to fix the lag is for scopely to stop punishing people for not being whales? 😮

[frank pike]

Imagine if they broke matchmaking down to how much each account has spent

[oak basin]

https://tenor.com/view/barack-obama-boys-dont-get-any-ideas-gif-14353201

[snow raven]

Where’d this term “whales” come from? I prefer dodge ram 2500 and mids are f150, and newbies are silverados lol

[hazy summit]

Still issue with arena being level 40 to 49... too big of a range

[frank pike]

Comes from casinos and gambling, which has an awful lot to do with this game and it’s spending structure.

[snow raven]

Ohhhhhh

Now I see the similarities

[split quarry]

Can we have the Q&A pushed like 3 hours for a more apac friendly time? 🤣🙏😜

[mighty bone]

About how long is it between lvl50 and lvl60 ascension?

[oak basin]

varies from server to server, don't expect a specific timespan, that way lies dissapointment, just ask @near bloom

[opaque crescent]

lol last night we had 49,50,54 against 60,62,62… but tbf we also were on the other side of that equation a lot more 😅

[opaque crescent]

my server was over a year from 50 to 60, but g6 came out like 3 months after we ascended and it opened right away 😫

[brave ore]

Arenas have been updated and so far the sentiment through the discords is that barring the occassional outlier, matchmaking appears to be far improved this week! So let's dive in, kill some ships and see if strategy matters even MORE today!

Nope, I am actually mining

Thought G6 was locked until 61 even if you had rep.

[mighty bone]

Farming lvl61

[little violet]

How you mining G6.. it locked

[mighty bone]

Arena should match on power, not level. One player power equals the entire opposing team.

Well I actually care about fellow alliance members. You know I have 2 simple rules.

#1. Don't attack me or my alliance I won't attack you. Even if your opc or zero node.

#2. If I say I am going to do something, I do it, even if it's against my alliance wishes.

Thats why I attack you guys a lot. You guys are a bit aggressive.

[slim sierra]

No server drama here, please.

[ember ginkgo]

We like our wars and battles, this is true. Im learning as we level up repairs get more expensive though

[slim sierra]

[mighty bone]

We are actually communicating

[slim sierra]

It's fine as long as you two stay respectful like you have been.

[mighty bone]

[mighty bone]

Yeah, I get on to messages about people being hit. Get the story, do my dailies and events and farm. Then watch tv.

[sudden folio]

@silver parcel yo you around?

[mighty bone]

Sorry about last Incursion. I could of done better i think. I was being chased around. They couldn't break my station but they wouldn't let me do anything. I have 4 lvl60s chasing me.

[ember ginkgo]

I do wish there was a mechanic that pushed wars more though. Like a capture the flag system besides tc that just puts random alliances on a server war against each other for points

[mighty bone]

Thats why I won invasion damage done by like 15b points.

Wait, that was trillion wasn't it?

[ember ginkgo]

I was moving that weekend so put up a 3 day shield. Hopped on between breaks but wasnt keeping track

I did finally collect odo so it went well enough

[mighty bone]

There was a total of like 7 60s fighting me. Everytime my station landed 4 landed beside me.

[ember ginkgo]

Yeah they were definitely more coordinated power wise, probably had an incursion voice chat going. One of my proposals for next time

[mighty bone]

There is to much hatred to do that.

I won't get in a voice chat with rooty, I can tell you that.

[ember ginkgo]

Yeah, lots of egos that would need to be put aside for the win. But could be done if we want it bad enough. I want my pocket watch dang it!

[mighty bone]

To much old hatred on server 700.

[ember ginkgo]

If i can work with Binx for tc you can help us coordinate a weekend incursion

[mighty bone]

I have people i refuse to talk to, but I don't hunt them. I keep it civil and have them blocked.

Only person I don't have blocked is ashlom. So when I kill him he can ask what he has for the past 500 deaths. I do not keep it civil with him.

He asks "why did you do that?"

[ember ginkgo]

I feel thats getting into server drama a bit

[mighty bone]

Ashlom is a player who will wait for players to wear their ship down killing stuff. Then attack you. No reason, just attack.

[ember ginkgo]

Hes a Canadian lol

[mighty bone]

So I feel it's my gift back to him. If I see him, he dies.

Only person I hunt

I hate rootys guts, but I don't hunt him.

[ember ginkgo]

My game nemesis quit 😡

[junior monolith]

does scopely plan on moving arenas to another day instead of mining Monday? I don’t like resetting my miners after each arena

[ember ginkgo]

Im not participating because i have token miners out

[mighty bone]

Well not to get into server drama. Though I don't know if you remember when I went rogue? That was a crazy fun month. Though I think 99% of the server still holds grudges.

I went rogue because leaders of 4 alliances made the choice for the entire server to go zero node. Before that rule took affect, people were abusing it and claiming it. They were being bullies.

So I went rogue until they removed it. They needed up removing it after a month. That was last Christmas.

[ember ginkgo]

Dont know if you remember our first interaction but you were solo doing cardi armadas and i was impressed because I had just reached out there 😂

Messaged you "holy cow you can do those solo!"

[little violet]

https://tenor.com/view/walking-gif-18297004

[mighty bone]

Everything is easy mode anymore. Kinda takes the fun out of it. I can solo epic 60 FKR, lvl58 Xindi Armada's, one ship kills epic 60 Dominion and Borg Armada's.

[ember ginkgo]

I never understood the caring about zero nodes. If you cant find an open one in a system push your self to a different spot

Its not worth the repair

[little violet]

Just smack the person sleeping on the node and then you don't have to waste time 🙂

[mighty bone]

One thing I am lucky about, I have over 1000 warp range on my miners

O'Dear 🤷🏼‍♂️ I don't know what to say,

[mighty bone]

Before I started i had 9 lvl31 miners, 4 lvl41 miners, 3 meridians, 3 lvl58 miners, 2 max freesha and 1 northstar.

[little violet]

they were probably banned

Really wish scopely would post a Banned banner on the bases they caught cheating or doing other neferious activities

[ember ginkgo]

Im a humble farmer now.... of xindi and borg and invented a Klingon squirrel. Im content lol

hitting dead bases for eventpoints runs under shenanigans as well, better no mark 🤔

[mighty bone]

Lol, I had to stop farming low level stuff. It wasn't fair.

[dull mason]

I had an interesting idea 💡,
Place there station in locked system's, so they can't leave for X Time,
Stop/ restrict there stations from relocation
Turn off there activities

I've taken much more in the past,
It's So Funny 🤣

[mighty bone]

I don't attack people for being opc unless I have a reason.

Why do I need others stuff?

[dull mason]

I even say sorry after removing a zero, in some cases they are nice about it and some are complete donkey's

[little violet]

5* token space really makes it easy

[dull mason]

👉🏼😭
😱

[mighty bone]

I have absolutely no reason to attack anyone. Unless someone messes with me or my alliance.

[ember ginkgo]

He adds a sense of danger

I had to teach tc strategy because a genius wanted to play with his miner lol

"Helmut is coming to our tc!!!" "So play cheap quick ships and jump on nodes when theyre empty. Whats the issue? TC is for PVP"

[ripe birch]

Arena matchups are even worse than before. Clowns!

https://tenor.com/view/this-is-very-accurate-chris-evans-esquire-very-precise-on-point-gif-17762378

[mighty bone]

I literally hate being this high. I don't have much to do anymore. I have all my ships except my miners max. My station is maxed out. My research is as far as I can go.

So I farm and find stuff to do. I have enough Uncommon/Rare/epic to probably do it all over again.

[little violet]

Send me that epic gas 😛

[ember ginkgo]

Right?

[mighty bone]

I guess I do kinda look forward to one of KHAN being stupid.

Gives me something to do

[ember ginkgo]

Said this while watching you guys whale out. "These guys are all going to be sitting at the top asking what do we do now waiting on the rest of us to catch up"

[mighty bone]

Hammer is mad at me. He kept telling me to slow down

[ember ginkgo]

I think this is where most players as invested start a ftp account and a youtube channel 🤔

Love you guys 🫶

[tranquil maple]

Ok....dumb question...

The new IA building...you can't claim the daily rewards unless you have a maxed version of the ship....

Why do they give out parts for those ships then? Is scopely planning on letting us scrap those ships going forward???

I mean...this is what you get for the Voyager....what use are THOSE going to be if you already have a maxed Voyager?

[mighty bone]

You can have more than 1 voyager

[ember ginkgo]

For your second Voyager?

[mighty bone]

Why you would, no idea

[ember ginkgo]

https://tenor.com/view/roy-kent-morning-cup-of-tea-drinking-tea-headspace-gif-5103829324230986666

[mighty bone]

If you get the Armored refit, you get more stuff daily.

Notice 2k?

[ember ginkgo]

Armored Voyager should be in amalgam store 🤔

[mighty bone]

Yes I have it mastered.

[little violet]

it will be in the alliance tournament store.. with emerald rep

If they ever bring the 💩 back

[ember ginkgo]

Whole skin sourcing needs work. Fricking 300k event store currency for 80/120 assimilated amalgam?

[little violet]

Skins and tech have been overpriced

[ember ginkgo]

I feel theres a legal precident somewhere in the $100 not equaling $100. If 180k can get me a fc slot that costs a $100 anything in the store i could also buy for $100 should be 180k credits

[mighty bone]

I have been having fun, I am actually buying lower level stuff just to have it lit up in ship building. That's where my event currency has been going.

Thats why my stupid behind has 4 Stella's

That and I can start 5 armada at one time. So Thursday is funny.

[ember ginkgo]

Yeah thats too much to keep track of for me lol

Ever have an idea so scary you say it and wish could take it back. Thank you discord lol

[woven dune]

When. Will. Scopely. Fix. Its. Lag. In. Arena? I'm on a high-speed connection with a high-end laptop and I might as well be doing dial-up.

Will you guys stop adding more crap that performs at a terrible level?

[mighty bone]

You have to have 7 seat armada's to be 60, because acc must be 50 for 57 ops. Now imagine 5 armada's that are 7 seats. It's funny to watch people try and call a seat. It's like...just join one.

[ember ginkgo]

As of yesterday 😃

[mighty bone]

Nice

[ember ginkgo]

We do a first 5 "kar" response as a reservation system. If busy goes kar host name

I toss up 🐿️ and 🌰🥜 sometimes

[mighty bone]

Tar or kar?

Used to be tar

[ember ginkgo]

"Khan armada reservation"

I got Fair doing "far" now 😂

[mighty bone]

You forgot, I was one of the original ZERO when the server opened. Before it was KHAN.

[stuck reef]

SBMM seems to be working real well 🙄

Haven’t left Copper 3 until the match before. Immediately went right back.

[ember ginkgo]

Ah, but remember I was tja before Khan. Never in Zero

[mighty bone]

By the way, when I say solo 60s. This is what I mean.

Just did that

[ember ginkgo]

Yeahhhhhh.... give me 6 months. Im knocking out the heavy 60 dominions now with just sanctus buffed

[mighty bone]

Yeah, but when you can solo it. It loses its luster after a while. It's like "do i need to kill armada's, ahhh!"

[ember ginkgo]

You can see the power creep if watch any of the spade or angry rhino videos from a year or two ago

Like you said, mirror research is a huge force multiplier

[west matrix]

have the FC lorca efficiency skills been fixed yet? are they working?

[dull mason]

Well remember those early days when your mate's had a envoy, and they bragged they killed a Talla ...

Those we're the days 🤣🤣

[ember ginkgo]

Yes, and they sent the comp. We got an ingame news message about it. I was kinda impressed

[west matrix]

when ?

I don't recall a comp chest

[mighty bone]

The thing is, on 700 the power balance is off a lot. We have a lot of people around the same power. Most don't like each other around the same power.

It got to the point where me and another big guy in my alliance were 2 manning the firsts on the server. The first Xindi armada kill was done on our server as 2 man.

[tender robin]

Yay

[west matrix]

ah ok... didn't receive it then cause I heard about the bug and didn't waste skill points on those skills

ok so save to skill them now

thx

[dull mason]

Well we are missing compensation Chests for failed Login Day and the extra Maintenances

[ember ginkgo]

There has to be a first one to try everything, you know I was the first on the server to hit level 40? We discovered the ascension while i was mid epic at that days event change over

[mighty bone]

I was the first 41, 42 and 43.

Lol

[ember ginkgo]

Yeah, i was probably sill looking for speedups lol

[mighty bone]

Then Queen and hammer passed me

[ember ginkgo]

I parked at 42 for a bit

Didnt see the rush, even now Im mapped out for 60 around December/Jan just in time when you guys go up. Helps with events

[mighty bone]

I don't even have a team for arena. That's how things are going for mw.

Hammer runs with grappler, farmer and Daz. So I am stuck with no one to go with.

[ember ginkgo]

Im skipping it, needs to not be on mining day and im low on tokens lol

I mean..... ask dan lol

[misty sky]

arean matching and lag is 10x worst thatn last week 😦

[mighty bone]

I don't talk to dan much. When greasy was hitting our tc i went and hit Dan's station and then amalgam hit it. Just to wake him up.

That was my way of telling him to get up and get his boy.

[ember ginkgo]

He did too 😂

Just saying, were not zero but not dom either

It looks a bit Sandy over there

[mighty bone]

I look at it this way, i try not to be a bully. Though if you annoy me. I will make your alliance mad enough they will deal with you.

[ember ginkgo]

See Im competitive, I want us to have the best team to win all the events and squash opposition. I dont play by ego, we play as a team for all of our benefit

[mighty bone]

Thats why when I hit Dan's station. I did one hit to kill it, one hit to make sure it was clear and one amalgam hit.

[ember ginkgo]

I get it. Why do you think i crash into yours and hammers ships so often lol

[mighty bone]

To make us come after your alliance?

[ember ginkgo]

If im the only one there who can be a speed bump in a tc ill do it lol

When was the last time youve seen me hit anyone outside a tc? Lol

[mighty bone]

Don't remember

Yeah, it's all about keeping a balance. There is a lot of boredom right now though.

Hammer is mad at me about a lot. He wants me to not go full destruction on KHAN. He wanted me to slow down leveling. He wants me to let others win more competition events.

Last time I hit your tc, he was mad. But that was retaliation for greasy.

He said I did to much.

I only killed a little over 120 ships. Wasn't like the old days.

[ember ginkgo]

Hammer seems like a grumpy old man who's grandkids refuse to visit him. But thats your internal alliance stuff. Thats why im over here

[mighty bone]

Old days I would of gone crazy. You know me.

[ember ginkgo]

Yeah buts its a short hop for you isnt it?

[mighty bone]

I am working on it.

We had QPLA and WSR getting hit also. He was three ships hitting our low levels and them. I was really annoyed.

[ember ginkgo]

Dude you think like even 3 months ago youd be on discord chatting with someone from a different alliance instead of doing a pvp event? Wild

[mighty bone]

Probably not, I don't talk much anymore.

This is the most important have talked in a month

[ember ginkgo]

Wsr and our mid levels have a feud going on over miners. I think they need to feed like that

[mighty bone]

Wtf

This is the most I have talked in a month

[ember ginkgo]

Squirrels gifted the irish the blarney stone and what did you dumb humans do? Cancel the magic with those ugly lips!

Goes to look and see if squirrels actually have lips

[mighty bone]

I have literally not spoken in my own alliances chat in a month. I have said maybe 5 sentences in GC in a month?

[ember ginkgo]

Come to the khan side

[mighty bone]

F no

[ember ginkgo]

😂

Just saying, this is what our ac is like

[mighty bone]

I have to many beefs with members over there.

Soda, Rooty and a couple others are muted. Moose has me muted, mostly because he doesn't like me counter bullying him.

[ember ginkgo]

My one request would be leave the zero beef at the door. Thats not us

So leave them muted

[mighty bone]

To much history

I was kicked from zero because rooty was using all my directives for an event. Then went and used his with other people. I felt abused and used. So I refused to do anything with him again. Made it clear.

Moose said that was unsportsmanlike

Kicked me.

We used so many of my directives it took us 3 days to do them. The morning of the 4th day, he was doing them using his for others.

Thats my beef.

Dude you wanna solo, solo. You wanna pre team, just make sure we all know, you wanna join a 39s cardi with a 3b 60 ship theyll probably thank you. Just bring a stella to eclipse

[little violet]

Got to love seeing a 13b+ powered cube in a xindi 56

[mighty bone]

I was kicked for not carrying rooty. Literally.

Thats why I refuse to be in an alliance with him.

[ember ginkgo]

Well, offer is out there. Those arent issues in Khan.

Think im gonna do arena after I get my next bajoran token pull. Too bad theres not an option for multiples here

Can someone check and confirm what level gets epic *5 gas in the event store mat pulls? See epic crystal and ore but no gas

[minor furnace]

You should start to get epic gas and ore at 56. Someone correct me if I am wrong.

[mighty bone]

I believe 58

[minor furnace]

I am at 55 and getting epic crystal

[mighty bone]

From refinery?

[minor furnace]

Refinery? That I don't recall

I thought it was for the arc event store. My bad.

[mighty bone]

I thought epic from refinery was 58. I may be wrong.

[little violet]

You will not get epic gas or ore from anythign but the refinery or 7/30day chests

[ember ginkgo]

I was asking about the event store, refinery is 58 so was wondering if 57 might be a event thing 🤔

[little violet]

no events give epic gas or ore

[ember ginkgo]

Thats...... mumbles

[mighty bone]

I know that multiphasic was where I got epic first

[little violet]

https://tenor.com/view/27dresses-yes-it-is-yes-katherine-heigl-gif-7817588

[little violet]

packs, 7 or 30day chest and the rare drop from the refinery

[ember ginkgo]

I didnt think to check the multiphasics, ty

[little violet]

Yeah, they are there. 61+ give more G5

[ember ginkgo]

Need 220 more to tier 12 Voyager

[little violet]

I saved my multiphasics for that increase

[mighty bone]

Saving my multiphasic and tickets for event for 61+

[ember ginkgo]

I think thats what ive been doing too. Was told not to use them until 60 for the epic because increases each level

[split dagger]

don't bonus refineries give epics, at least RNG wise

[mighty bone]

61+ it's needed more

They give epic from refinery

See

[ember ginkgo]

At 56 😂

[mighty bone]

Yup

I think i first saw it earlier than that

[split dagger]

woohoo!!!! 7 epic g5!!! you rich !!!! 😂

[mighty bone]

Times 50 is 350

[split dagger]

you def rich!!! ahahahaha

[mighty bone]

So 25k multiphasic is 350

Don't let nitediver see my inventory...lol

[split dagger]

lol... i do have a habit of raiding at nite 😁

[ember ginkgo]

Well thats gonna be awhile

[split dagger]

but unfortunately it wouldn't affect your mats

[mighty bone]

Lol, I had to explain to a lvl37 who threatened to raid me. It's impossible on our server to do so.

[split dagger]

nothing is impossible mate

[mighty bone]

My station EMPTY is 9b+ power.

[ember ginkgo]

Id give it a go

Empty

[split dagger]

so a 15B cube wouldn't crack it?

[mighty bone]

I said on our server

Key words

[little violet]

It would crack it like a hot knife through butter

[mighty bone]

We haven't ascended yet

[dull mason]

Star trek voyager: episode 👉🏼 Timeless 👍👍

[ember ginkgo]

Cube keys are on the hook right?

[mighty bone]

Yeah, cubes are nice. Haven't seen mine yet?

Pick a system

[ember ginkgo]

Ive seen a max cube, i know theyre nice

[mighty bone]

I will send my Protector also

Promise you haven't seen one like mine. Lol

[spark sluice]

Probably looks like all the others

[ember ginkgo]

Is hammer on?

[mighty bone]

I don't know

His is smaller than mine

In both cases

[ember ginkgo]

Awww i thought your base was gonna be empty 🥺

[mighty bone]

You by my station?

I will pop them out

There

[ember ginkgo]

Ooooogaga boga! 😂

Very nice

My new door knocker

[mighty bone]

I was laughing yesterday, some random guy named op1 entered our TC. I one shot his protector with borg beam.

[ember ginkgo]

Awww Ive seen him exploring around

[mighty bone]

I forgot about TC and was farming. Rushed back and saw him.

Boom

[ember ginkgo]

Never mind, i realized youve already done that lol

[mighty bone]

I taught rooty, you know that?

I taught hammer a lot

[ember ginkgo]

Yeah, bad idea. My bad lol

Werent you and sith a 2man for awhile?

[mighty bone]

Lol, I don't teach subtle or half doing things.

I was solo for a looong time after going rogue.

[ember ginkgo]

You saw what i did with Nine right?

[mighty bone]

No

Do you know i ended up writing a rogue guide?

[ember ginkgo]

Was asked to guest admiral for a couple months, built up some players in their teens and helped get them set up in stronger alliances

Thats why I can network so well across the server

Post it on the server discord, good read right?

[mighty bone]

It's long. I can't post it publicly. It will give away trade secrets.

Come on, not even greasy was as good a rogue as me.

[ember ginkgo]

So if you violate your own rogue code do you sue yourself?

[mighty bone]

I hardly died, I killed over 10m power a day and I wasn't raided once. Infact it became a trick to find me.

This was before we ascended to 40+. So 10m a day was a lot.

[ember ginkgo]

I remember

[mighty bone]

I was in and out before anyone could even respond.

[ember ginkgo]

Was alot more fun when we had real rogues

[mighty bone]

I killed everyone

[ember ginkgo]

Not the same game anymore. We even got greasy farming

Hes living his best life irl though

[mighty bone]

Hold on a minute

[ember ginkgo]

Other day was a funny excuse, drugs may have been involved

[mighty bone]

Lol, got ashlom again

I know, but he deserves it

Forgot to do my daily freebooters. He was there, so I chased.

[split dagger]

1B and change cube is nothing to boast about on here... trust me

[mighty bone]

I know, lvl64 is like 5b

We are not ascended yet

We are not 61+ yet.

[split dagger]

it's a humbling experience when the top dog of a server gets raided and is the sole person to blame for losing incursions.... my server did that and won!!! i won't mention the name but it is so apropos

[mighty bone]

LOL, you think i am the reason we lost incursion? I raided supplies while being ragged on by 4 60s constantly. Made too damage done and even with a 4-7 disadvantage I still made top 7 in resources raided.

Made top damagw*

Damage*

[split dagger]

i don't know you... just saying that whoever is a top dog and untouchable... well... let's say that's not a thing

[blissful swallow]

My matchups today were the best by far! I'm a 50. Whatever you did there. It was perfect.

[split dagger]

i agree with you that the matchups were definitely better... but you may want to repeat that in #💬-general-feedback

[mighty bone]

We were matched against server 101. They had like 20 lvl60s and we had 5.

I did what I could

[ember ginkgo]

Helmet i havent heard one person accusing you

There was two fools giving them coordinates too

[split dagger]

that's great for your server mate! but i was simply talking about humility of any 1 person who thinks they are the best and untouchable or unraidable

[mighty bone]

You came in half way through a conversation and claimed you could raid me.

[split dagger]

we can end the convo here...

[ember ginkgo]

Sith came in the other servers gc posting our coordiates and was told "we dont wanna win that way, go away"

[split dagger]

i'm not interested in arguing (?spelling)

[mighty bone]

Yeah, we had a few people giving away resources as well

[split dagger]

every server... including mine.. have peeps with rss in the T's... who decide to stay in TC and higher systems.... and it's very very upsetting... but at the end of the day... it is pixels on a screen... whatever happens doesn't reflect on your actual real life... your friends and family still love you

[mighty bone]

I am generally hated, don't worry.

I was fired for being hurt on the job twice and medically unable to do the job anymore. But I was a deputy and hurt my knee. Then went to work at the county jail. Got hurt wrestling someone. Now my spine is damaged. Anyways, after being law enforcement and working the jail. I am used to it. So hate me all you like. Just don't make blank statements at my person.

[ashen harbor]

So I have tried 3 arenas today. Matched against g6 each time. It’s not fixed. G5!can’t beat g6 ships. Period. Scopley fix this.

[split dagger]

I don't make a general statement towards you or people... I personally don't know you. The only thing I can infer, is that you are passionate.

[ember ginkgo]

Its a work in progress, theyll keep refining it and well keep providing feedback. Next one needs to be towards the end of week

[ember ginkgo]

That he is. I like the dude but theres past history with alliance mates

[split dagger]

not 100% accurate on that statement... g5 rares with appropriate research and crew will win

[ashen harbor]

Not when there ships more than double the power.

[split dagger]

everyone has a history... but talking on this channel... it's a clean slate ... people will only get to know you on how you reply/respond

[ember ginkgo]

And i will say knowing that i can emphasize. One of the worst things about working in that field is the downshift you have to make going civilian side. You spend years being told everyone is out to get you and always to expect the worst of people.... thats just patrol. We thought the correction guys were nuts

Best move I ever made was going emergency management and then semiconductors

[mighty bone]

I didn't mind the jail, you built a respect from the detainees. Simplest rule was, if you say your going to do something, do it. Never lie to a detainee.

Second rule was, watch your back. No one else will

[ember ginkgo]

Its not like that in the civilian world.

Thats been a tough lesson for me actually

[mighty bone]

If you lie once in the real world will 200 plus people take turns stabbing you?

[ember ginkgo]

Possibly, but i could spend all day debating "real world"

[mighty bone]

There is a few people that detainees hated. Thief's: because they would steal from you, children abusers and liar's.

[ember ginkgo]

Real requires a common frame of reference to base abdomarilities off of. More points of contact more refinement on what is "real" vs "deviation" for a common model

[mighty bone]

I once had to go full clear a dorm with a bunch of guys beating up a guy who stole from another.

Because, they steal from one person inside, they will steal from anyone.

[ember ginkgo]

Dude, thats the past. And its veterans day. We need funny war stories

[mighty bone]

I have quite a few of those.

[ember ginkgo]

One of my best friends to this day i met because i has to sneak his 19yo drunk self past the barracks watch in through the window

[mighty bone]

I was once doing headcount on shift change. We had to see faces, so we could for sure say they are there.

I stopped at this one cell and he had a curtain up. He wasn't responding. So his bunkmate was saying don't worry, white is on top. White is on top, yo it's him, he is on top. This kept repeating until he showed his face. I wasn't saying a word, he just kept repeating it.

Before I left, after seeing his face. I said something that's against the law but funny.

I said "I just needed to see his face, not know who does what after dark."

For reference, the guys last name was White.

[ember ginkgo]

Ahhhh

[mighty bone]

The whole dorm bursted out laughing

Because you don't often hear a CO crack up with a sexual reference. It's against P.R.E.A

[ember ginkgo]

So couple years later he marries a stripper because that way can collect BAH and love out of the dorms. Weird looking little thing, one leg shorter than the other, worked at Babe outside New River at one point. He goes on deployment, shes pregnant when he comes back and claims its his. He requests a court order and some how they had to go on Maury and to get his leave approved was required to wear his service alphas instead of Dress Blues.

[mighty bone]

Oh no

Class to the show?

Class A

So he basically couldn't do anything, that's why

Class A he better behave in

[ember ginkgo]

Marine, he wanted to wear his dress blues but they wouldnt sign off on his leave until he agreed to do it in the green alpha uniform

[mighty bone]

Oh so it wasn't his blues

He wore the pickle outfit

[mellow aurora]

Well arena is still trash. Our sever is ops locked at 60 and we are facing 65’s.

[mighty bone]

So are we on 700

Yes, again his class A pickle outfit

Also chatter, you do get epic from refinery at atleast 60

I just did my refinery

[mellow aurora]

I started getting epic at 56 or 57

[ember ginkgo]

Yeah im 56 and need epic gas. Think 58 refinery will get it

So turned out Longs first name was Rick, we still call him Pickle Rick

[mighty bone]

Let's be honest, young marines have bad decision making skills when it comes to women.

[late pawn]

Don't need anything after "skills."

[mighty bone]

I had a good buddy who was a marine counter intelligence nco. He married a girl, she came to stay out a room he rented from me.

After several attempts to tell him, hey she is hitting on me. Him refusing to believe me. I put a nanny came in the living room and caught her putting her pelvis in my face asking me to feel her freshly shaved legs.

[jaunty wren]

Something seems rather odd about this

[ember ginkgo]

Ill be honest, us old Marines still dont have clue about women lol

Gross

I just treat everyone like a fellow "dude " and it seems to work

[mighty bone]

I had to put a nanny cam because to put it bluntly, she asked to see my "you know what " in front of my visiting mother. He refused to believe both of us over her.

[ember ginkgo]

Dude your the patient, fire them

[mighty bone]

I was the best man at this dudes wedding.

[ember ginkgo]

Now that i have an empty nest, my schooling stuff all done im starting to see the point of the dating adventure as opposed to the marriage to raise the kid deal. I dont need a wife, i need a cop partner with boobs (sorry but i like them)

[mighty bone]

Problem is, most are insane or dangerous

Female LEO scare me more than anything

[ember ginkgo]

I dont mean as in works law enforcement but that level of shared experience and openness

Ive done that too, and nurses. Worst is dating theripists

I had a former corrections counselor one time as a flatmate. The transference is real

[mighty bone]

My first Lt i had in the sheriff’s department was a female. Oh my god, she was dangerous. She was a Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt, mao tail black belt and competitor. I saw her knee drop a 300 pound guy from 10 feet away.

I went to the jail after the road. I swear on my life it was like a CO sex Athon. They were sleeping with each other like crazy. We had three ways being caught by officers in locker rooms.
