I had 180k faction recruit tokens, a slider would have been really nice

[deft drum]

@queen jolt can you get them to add sliders to faction recruit

[dull mason]

We need a Shield Multiplier..
Ie use X amount of 8hr shields one at a time...

Example 👉🏼 9X 8hr shields = 3 day's of shielding

[trail hill]

Was there a rumor they were gonna add new stuff to the eoa store?

[shy hamlet]

this week yeah

[deft drum]

Wonder if we spam every day multiple hours a day about sliders on faction recruit tabs if it'll make a difference

[heady moon]

Let's keep our expectations reasonable...

[deft drum]

Hey hey, this is about sliders

[fluid shore]

Could you spare a bit of your precious time and shed some light on why the arena compensation turned out so poorly?

1. Graded compensation when every player ops has equal costs.
2. No inherent maximum amount, rarity or time-gate on arena emblems except time investment.
3. You wouldn't be giving free hand-outs by giving resources for three pulls, but grant players what they would've been able to earn F2P themselves.

Yet someone seems to think those emblems are the most valuable resource mankind has ever seen the way you won't even let players have double pulls for an entire week. Any chance we get a response on this?

[wanton laurel]

But since your here. . . how about more sourcing for everything for f2p

[fathom flicker]

And those on faction recruit chests too

[pine phoenix]

[fathom flicker]

@heady moon make refining easier

[primal stag]

I assume the roadmap has missing info, hopefully one of the ships this year helps with ship parts sourcing like Gorn Eviscerator but higher quantity that is guaranteed as well as maybe some adjustments for g5 and g6 economy as a means to help incentivize players to ops up.

https://tenor.com/view/hello-dave-gif-21063887

[umbral vigil]

Independent Archives is frustrating TBH, I can't do most of them because they depend on the ships being maxed out and those are ops locked. A real QOL improvement (if you will insist on turning it into a grind rather than just giving it to players) would have been the ability to complete the archive and for the daily rewards to scale up as the ship is tiered

[oak basin]

not the only one to suggest partial tier-based mastery claims, but the 'but you get the buffs at each tier' viewpoint seems to be dominant

[finite ibex]

Fun bug

[steep aspen]

you found unlocked the secret monaveen talios

[bitter temple]

https://tenor.com/view/oh-yeah-oh-hell-yeah-hell-yes-gif-6153642535120452043

[oak basin]

so what you're saying is we're getting the faction recruit pull sliders?

[steep aspen]

that doesn't really make track though, what you get from the mastery is what you would have gotten from the ship's store/refinery each day. Until the ship is maxed and the loop is mastered, there's no partial claim that makes sense.

[bitter temple]

archives speed up the journey to mastery... to which while a select few knew the bennies of having most of these ships maxed or near maxed.. you've got the daily incentive to do it and be done with it, short of the few events

[steep aspen]

I think it might be reasonable to take another look at the ops locks on the ships, but partial mastery claims just sounds like wanting the rewards without ever having to use the ships

[oak basin]

given the state of the game, i think it'd be more a case of 'certain ships' than 'all'

like, say, vidar, but not talios, because the only point in vidar's existence is... that you need a maxed one to get the talios

[steep aspen]

the vidar is an awesome ship that does good work in your 20s and early 30s and doesn't have any stupid ops locks, so far at 35 the talios has been an albatross making my events harder and not really doing anything better than the vidar

[shy hamlet]

I think we're all glad the Bay's gone

[steep aspen]

what would a tier 5 vidar mastery claim look like?

[bitter temple]

right in time for the Bay 2.0 to return with wrath of khan!

https://tenor.com/view/evil-evil-laugh-evil-racoon-hehehehe-muhahaha-gif-25486258

[shy hamlet]

I think the obvious commentary is "if it's not max tier you haven't mastered it"
I also think the obvious rebuttal is the defiant as part of the bajoran faction

[oak basin]

yeah that's ops35, ie : baby talios. iirc vidar was also a bit guff when you first got it and got better as levelled.

[shy hamlet]

it's data mining 2, but now in token deep space hazard systems with 50% less nodes

[bitter temple]

and the armadas hunt you

@ the devs

[dull mason]

https://tenor.com/view/tremors-monster-gif-7273188

[near bloom]

I don’t follow and I can’t reconcile this. IA for me means I can get a week of Hirogen things by hitting a few transports, my Borgs is a full Talios after about five minutes in a system, 8472 is now an easy max pull every time and mining-wise each node is 4x for me, and that’s IA ops-locked at 42.

While I appreciate it would be nice as seemingly “legacy” content with in hindsight (politely, players called it from the off) overly complicated loops bone them binned off completely, it makes sense for them to “help us” complete them. It also gives a positive boost to people to actually find them easy.

[wanton laurel]

but the IA is a reward for those who have finished, not a aw i never bothered so now give me what someone else worked hard to achieve.

[steep aspen]

I've still not head what a partial tier-based mastery claim looks like, what would you get for a tier 5 vidar partial claim?

[rough heart]

It makes the track slightly faster, here's where I'm at on my Vi'dar

[timber valve]

It speeds up things a LOT

[rough heart]

Gives me more loot at least, so I can farm faster to progress

Already that's 45% nanoprobe increase in loot I can't get from characters I don't have 🤷‍♂️

[wanton laurel]

do you have access to vidar exos?

[rough heart]

Exos?

[steep aspen]

vidar exos that you get from solo borg armadas that aren't easy to do before you are done with your vidar, those exos

[wanton laurel]

yes, exocomps for the vidar and or tally? May be ops dependent i'm not sure

[near bloom]

Unlikely

[umbral vigil]

Not bothered is a ridiculous, dismissive and condescending phrase to use!
I bother plenty but if it's ops locked then it doesn't matter how much I've put into doing the loop or even if I have all the materials to max the ship

[rough heart]

That's a neg chief

[near bloom]

Best bet for fast progress - more so now - is PMT in the Lv29s

[rough heart]

PMT?

[near bloom]

Pike, Moreau, Tlaan

[rough heart]

Pike

Tlaan really?

Thought it was chen

[near bloom]

Took me three weeks to max Vidar from zero. Should be easy.

[rough heart]

TIL

[near bloom]

On the 29s and the 29s only

[wanton laurel]

🤷 if you're ops locked that's one thing, guaranteeeeee that there's plenty out there who aren't ops locked

[near bloom]

The 29s are all kinetic.

[wanton laurel]

but again, as pointed out it IS Making your progression faster.

[wanton laurel]

age old debate that one eh.....

[umbral vigil]

My original post was specifically about the ops lock on these ships/loops

[near bloom]

I’m ops locked and love the IA still. I have now all the stuff I need for at least three tiers of Talios

[steep aspen]

I think ops locks are a fair thing to complain about, but that is a completely different can of worms than IA mastery

[near bloom]

I also have a Voyager loop that is super easy to max pull.

Remember, I’ve done all this once

I was never in a position that I was waiting to do ops, with the mats for the next several tiers of things.

Defiant I guess would be closest I was to that position.

But Borgs? Doing max pulls daily, and progressing the ship, and pulling credits?

Nah, pull the other one

You had to be a psychopath to do that to yourself for a lot of those loops.

[steep aspen]

probably because of IA, but I am sitting on 2.4 million charged nanoprobes, pulling everything I can for the talios, and actually accumulating more while it is stuck at tier 1 because of ops level

[wanton laurel]

ops locks are helpful in that you can get something to a tier and worry about other things or ignore until it's time for you to focus. I get players choice let me do what i want when, but also players often complain about too much to do and ops locks are natural and sometimes frutrating speedbumps.

[placid maple]

🤣 your gonna be waiting a lifetime for Tailos if your ops 35, you need ops 58 to max tier it

[wanton laurel]

like the stupid one in Mirror that i have to ops up to 61

[whole robin]

So where is the rest of our arena comp??

[near bloom]

Ops 42 here, stuck at T5 Talios, got 7M charged nanos 😂

[steep aspen]

didn't you just say you were never in a position that you were waiting to do ops?

[whole robin]

We should be getting an absolute minimum of 4900 emblems regardless of ops

[wanton laurel]

the first time around...

[placid maple]

G6 has 5.4

[rough heart]

I'm waiting to leave 29 till I have pike

[near bloom]

Previously, yes.

Launch day Talios player here, with charged nanos to spare then. Spent my entire game trying to catch it up to where it should be.

[solemn plaza]

IA + MU make the Voyager grind basically nonexistent, it's a beautiful thing.

[deft drum]

So about them sliders for faction recruit tabs?

[opal meadow]

Is shattered wisdom SLB scoring broken for hostiles lvl 44 and up?

[summer ice]

hi guys... is there a "timeline" at which points servers open up their ops block ? like ops39 block

[shy hamlet]

[near bloom]

I’m on an old server now

[near bloom]

You’re months away

[shy hamlet]

[near bloom]

Incursions is going to be terrible

[shy hamlet]

they might ascend mid incursion, you never know

[near bloom]

A bunch of people we can’t hit, a bunch of whales with Q cannons beating snot out of us and we’re gonna be the only stations with anything worth taking.

[limber latch]

Should I get sarchophogus

Or centurob

[whole robin]

like I said, regardless of ops

the emblem turnins don't scale with ops, we should all be getting 4900+

[near bloom]

Whatever this is supposed to be is better than a Sarco.

TBH getting nothing is better than a sarco.

[limber latch]

So centuron

Or sarchophgus

[near bloom]

Centurion. But what are you looking at that gives you that choice?

Event store loot?

[limber latch]

Yes

Also sarco can go up to tier 12

[near bloom]

Absolutely get neither of those with event store loot

[near bloom]

And it can still get battered by an Envoy

[limber latch]

Actually

[abstract fiber]

<@&509690795536941056> any update on why lvl 40 El Aurian hostiles aren't scoring for some people in the damage SLB?

[shy hamlet]

I have a max sarc and it's an utter waste

don't get one

[near bloom]

Not even worth it for the scout trick now with Voyager

What other speciality ships have you got access to in the event store?

Honestly, the only thing worse than doing a faction ship through event store is doing a Sarcophagus.

[limber latch]

What du hell

https://tenor.com/view/its-pretty-bad-critic-its-bad-pretty-bad-not-good-gif-14148004

[whole robin]

don't use severus crew

severus crew doesn't appear to give any points

[near bloom]

Even on a node the sarcophagus hits like a rotten cucumber

Off a node it is like being hit by a gentle breeze.

[whole robin]

and what does a rotten cucumber hit like?

[abstract fiber]

Why? Damage counts on 38s... But not 40s

[shy hamlet]

I think my sarc has a like 1:50 KDR

[whole robin]

because on the 38s you are doing a full round worth of damage

[shy hamlet]

also the impulse of a snail

[whole robin]

in order for damage to count with severus crew

you have to do at least 20% of the hostile's hull

without severus, in the time that severus kills them

otherwise it counts severus's damage over yours

That would be a no... Never from hostiles

If the only way is by store, you must've spent a ton of credits on it...

[shy hamlet]

past those 3 (and not counting the highest end which don't have a big enough hostile yet), faction ships will drop if you hit a high enough level hostile of that faction

The El-Aurians have rep gains?

[little violet]

I never thought I would get 15b and I am pushing close to 100 now

[little violet]

I don't grind rep

[shy hamlet]

not that I recall, I think you confused something

[little violet]

Probably the banner that was there when I took a snipit

[lime surge]

That picture with the revenant kill showed less rep....

[little violet]

That is a different faction

[shy hamlet]

different faction I assume

[solemn plaza]

My G5 epic chests have been super nice for credits. (It never the faction I want but it's normally a bunch of credits)

[little violet]

Really wish they would do something about these bot using whales... Getting annoying...

[oak basin]

no, but there are some mirror hostiles that do

supposedly those are way more efficient to grind than faction hostiles

[little violet]

I can get over 1b rep in less than an hr in mirror lol

All the faction rep research is making i way easier for sure

[oak basin]

i say supposedly purely cos i've not done that yet cos i'm rly lazy about remembering to do MU stuff and protector is baby t3 and i got the impression that a t9 pilum prolly wouldn't cut it for that task

[little violet]

Probably can handle the 51's

[shy hamlet]

t9 pilum can probably kill the 50's

or those, yeah

[little violet]

whatever lvl the lowest 50 is

[lime surge]

I know the MU is helpful for rep gains, but I just hate the rift shut....

[little violet]

It is annoying to have to watch it go across the map just to warp again

[dull mason]

Your getting confused with the Assimilated El-aurian Event
And faction Hits
One has nothing to do with the other except Scopley bunching Them together

[solemn plaza]

Lvl51s and PMC should be good to go.

[little violet]

I wonder if this research helps with assimilated aurians

[coral sedge]

It will not

[little violet]

Then it is useless research lol

[oak basin]

only things tagged as ASM

[dull mason]

I'll take a Good guess and say definitely NOT

[oak basin]

like with how monaveens bonus only affects things tagged DAL, or how voyagers only works on things tagged as delta quadrant hostiles

[coral sedge]

Different factions. The research is 100% useless

[dull mason]

They haven't introduced that research options Yet 🫣🫣

[little violet]

still assimilated lol

[coral sedge]

Name doesn't mean anything

[little violet]

51+ you probably can't see it at your ops

[little violet]

I know, just saying lol

[little violet]

I am just glad that research was not required by anything behind or infront of it

[oak basin]

bah, i need to do another tier of the warp range research to go try the mu rep thing

[coral sedge]

You did even more than me lmao

[little violet]

Was for a research event lol

Solely for the lvl power boost

[shy hamlet]

I did t1 of it. thought it was a prerequisite for something

[little violet]

I thought they were going to do that too.. When I heavily researched the stuff behind it I was very happy to see it not required

[shy hamlet]

you could pay me though. I am a simple woman and I have a weakness for money

[little violet]

I wouldn't start over in this game even if scopely paid me to and paid me to play it again..

[fringe plaza]

Agreed. It's taken me way too long to get to where I am now, and cost too much, let's be honest.

[little violet]

Tried to get my to do an interview on a discord that was going to be made and said I couldn't bash scopely in my name... NO thanks..

Do better and make me not bash you..

[little violet]

I been playing almost all 6 years ... Ops 63.. More than I have ever spent on any game because I like the game play... I am starting to now like it with all the pay only 💩

Cool. I think I've been playing a similar amount, but I'm not positive.

[little violet]

Me neither... Here is what I had to say...

He is one of the community managers here ... They work for scopely.

[vapid solstice]

Banning of showing a players name saves them from public embarrassment 🤷‍♀️

[shy hamlet]

allowing the posting of player names encourages people in the midst of server drama to come here and post kills of their opposition, which rapidly leads to flame wars

with the names blacked out it's more positive or neutral, and still leads to some good fun

You mean toxic environments 😛

so eariler I got to level 38 of artifact galary and was able to spam the artifacts as I save up alot that needed that level also must have unlocked synicate pack in ex-borg with that too not sure which one did that though

scopely's subtle hints to F2P's that they are not really wanted...

[placid zinc]

Going to be the one month anniversary of broken links soon

[bronze phoenix]

If they would put some real value in the store packs more people would buy them. Currently still insulting and no where near worth the 'value' placed on them.

[shy hamlet]

all packs are either worthless (you're changing pixels that you're being allowed to use until a 3rd party decides otherwise for any or no reason) or worth exactly how much scopely charges (as the sole supplier).

[proud parrot]

You do know that whales get custom packs right?

[minor furnace]

As do everyone. Proof is in the weekly packs.

[shy hamlet]

it's also different per server, per ops...

if you take it personally that someone else has more stuff than you, this is either an extremely expensive or extremely frustrating game for you

[near bloom]

Custom is a stretch

[keen basalt]

No, no, I like this conspiracy theory.

[near bloom]

🤣

[minor furnace]

https://tenor.com/view/you-sound-like-minimum-wage-minimum-wage-steven-he-gif-27154750

[near bloom]

They do have better packs, but better just means “expensive packs you wouldn’t buy because there are better value gateway packs you’re not buying”

[oak basin]

gateway would imply at least relatively sane pricing

by which i mean ' that's probably not the word you were looking for'

This game is weird with the packs most games will have like $10 or $20 packs with super value but limited purchase quantity to help balance the lesser spenders vs the whales

But STFC is straight up u want the good chiz? Fork over a hundo!

With smaller packs being worse value

One of the biggest issues with this game IMO and thats coming from the perspective of a spender

The $50 packs are a step in the right direction but we need $20 or even $10 packs with amazing value but limited quantity

[near bloom]

https://tenor.com/view/hola-shark-shark-dancing-hello-hey-there-gif-16140857

Shakedown anyone?

[opaque crescent]

calling the shakedown packs ‘amazing’ is a bit of a stretch

[near bloom]

If you’re F2P or low spender, the sourcing for Leslie is horrible but NX01 is awesome with them.

£5 to get that is a bargain.

[woven plover]

Have a merry xmas everyone!

I have Leslie but have no idea how I got him 😄

only rank 1 but you only need his captain ability anyhow

I want another $20 BLT Kim Neelix pack D: throw in a Paris for good measure too 😉

how I imagine the STFC devs

the programmers at least

[woeful compass]

so is there still the 1 week cooldown when you double pull the solo chest for the revenant?

Paris in the 20 pack would be awesome.

so if you haven't heard yet, Discovery has been wiped from official star trek canon by Lower Decks. Here's a link covering how

https://cosmicbook.news/star-trek-discovery-erased-canon

[silver parcel]

That's a stretch that would make armstrong envious.

[normal elm]

time to scrap the Disco i guess

[deft drum]

So then TOS gets erased also, correct? Because the statement made is over how different Klingons look in discovery vs snw

TOS would include the movie era, by which time the klingons looked the same as in tng and later shows, and they already used enterprise to 'explain' the smooth foreheads in TOS, so.... no?

Assimilated El-aurian Ship event is ⬆️

[dull mason]

Ha ha,
If you only knew 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[dull mason]

The L38 assimilated El-aurian system is Rubbish..
No inters or Battleships
FYI I can't hit L40's

If you keep putting this event on , you should ramp up the Red hostiles, and have a second L38 system

[near bloom]

Why can’t you hit Lv40s?

[dull mason]

My. Ship 👉🏼💥

[near bloom]

Enterprise is good at it

Janeway captain, Torres and Kirk.

Probably better crews.

I could probably kill 42s if it weren’t for warp range

[solemn plaza]

You can hit lvl40s but you'd rather complain than think about using an alternative crew.

[deft drum]

So I'm gonna make a prediction on new arc for Voyager, we're getting Voyager-A and admiral Janeway officer. Guessing Voyager-A is gonna be a g5 ship since the lateral was a g4

And since it aired January 16th, 1995 it's going to be the first arc we see for 2025

[burnt briar]

Put the straw down Nostrildomus that stuff makin u see too much

[oak basin]

nah it'll probably be one of those 'starts as g4 but turns g5 when tiered enough' ships

[solemn plaza]

Probably start seeing more ships start in G4 and end in G6.

[deft drum]

Just putting stuff together that fits lol

[deft drum]

That is true, a g5 jump might be to much as they haven't given any true advancement of g6 yet, but adding Voyager to the g5 roster would be the beginning of them setting up the advancement of g6 and the introduction of g7

Officers will be admiral Janeway (epic), tuvok(rare), seven(rare)

[oak basin]

it''d also be rage-inducing when you consider how much of the playerbase is sub-g5, which is why i don't think it'd be introduced as a g5.

[deft drum]

One thing I've never made sense of is why we never saw the USS vengeance added to the game seeing how the game started based on the new movies

[twilit lintel]

https://tenor.com/view/family-movie-nights-star-wars-the-last-gif-10583277

[deft drum]

Now come on do you really think Scopley cares if it causes that? They've been hard pushing these events to try and force people to upgrade bases and ships this past 2 months. It very much seems the goal is to force people towards g5

[oak basin]

it's meant to be a giant section 31 one-off battleship that outclasses everything

[deft drum]

Just look at recent events and ships that tried to push people into g4 with everything being released for ops 40 just this past year

[oak basin]

i doubt they especially care if they annoy players, but they will care if players don't spend. introducing a pay-to-get ship that maybe 12% of the playerbase can even build is both not gonna get the same spending as introducing a g4 ship, and is liable to trigger enough rage that people who'd normally spend that month, may well not, and that is in the realm of things scopely care about

granted, that 12% is largely comprised of medium to heavy spenders so they'd probably all buy it

but still

[deft drum]

That's kinda what I meant, they give something to drain those people of money which they've been doing for a couple years now

[oak basin]

aye, but it's not gonna drive people to push into g5 so buying the ship is worth doing, it's more likely to do the opposite, cause people to realise how much they'd have to spend to reach that new 'target zone' for scopely, and nope out

[deft drum]

I honestly would love to see Scopley change course of recent ways of releasing content but idk if they will because they've taken all f2p for granted for so long

[deft drum]

Here's to hoping Scopley has a new years resolution to focus more on quality and the f2p community

[oak basin]

i wouldn't be surprised to see it be another ops42+ ship like revenant, or maybe even ops46+ ( although tbh i think prolly a bit early for that ), though

[deft drum]

I don't want everything to be free immediately (before someone takes that literally), I just want them to spend more time fixing and giving free paths to stuff we can't obtain without paying

[oak basin]

i don't think they'll change the policy of trying to push people to ops up through this stuff, but even scopely can't possibly be so dumb they'd fail to realise there's a limit to how fast they can push that

[deft drum]

One could only hope

[placid zinc]

Pink nodes all day for Christmas spirit!

[crimson fern]

jeez just 1 time i cant complain about new year rewards lol tho christmas 6000 event tokens was still crap

[limber remnant]

[queen jolt]

anyone missing their 9.99 bp unlock?

[little violet]

I am wondering if the arc store is getting anything added. Yes or no?

[pale fern]

Are officers going to be added to the officer flash pass

[little violet]

https://tenor.com/view/sabrina-the-teenage-witch-sabrina-spellman-salem-salem-the-cat-salem-saberhagen-gif-17796801

[ashen harbor]

But don’t worry. They added like 20!$100 packs to the store. It shows what they care about.

[little violet]

There is already about 1k of those in there 😛

[warped whale]

Missing the event store additions… 😕 (not counting the totally separate bucket for brand new currency)

[little violet]

I keep asking and getting cold shoulder

[rough heart]

The online store shows a 9.99 BP unlock, as well as 9.99 NOT BP unlock but here's goodies

[red viper]

Also I can't seem to find the regular pass unlock, only the elite pack

[red viper]

oh well at least it's there

[rough heart]

If it don't got that crest symbol, it ain't gonna unlock

[red viper]

looks like there are no updates or additions planned for the arc store, but I heard we'll be getting bigger gifts tomorrow 🤞 👀

[ashen harbor]

So you all
Lied to us for two weeks

[little violet]

https://tenor.com/view/as-usual-danny-ramsay-neighbours-as-always-typical-gif-20976303

[little violet]

Yep now that all the spend slbs are over... Weeeeeeeee

[ashen harbor]

Seriously. You lied to the entire player base. Cant blame this on scopley. The community managers lied.

[little violet]

They are scopely 🤣

[warped whale]

If there aren’t any planned what happened to the plan that resulted in us being told there were updates?

Y’all have done a lot of good this month but it’s crud like this that maintains scopely reputation stain for disappointment and let down

[dull mason]

https://tenor.com/view/sookie-smad-mad-sad-gif-5914847

[little violet]

Funny that you all wasted your time telling hampster what you wanted added and the information went right into which packs they can target you with 🤣

Then straight into the shred pile

[naive escarp]

i saw A LOT of players not spend anything in the black market final event due to the possibility of something new being added to the event store, i guess their gamble did not pay off.

[little violet]

Not a gamble when they said it was coming

[queen jolt]

https://tenor.com/view/wait-wait-wait-lucifer-morningstar-tom-ellis-lucifer-hold-on-gif-18407820

Now all the sudden it is not coming

[naive escarp]

i mean we never got our new years avatars either last year

and a whole bunch of other stuff we were promised

[little violet]

Never noticed that because I could really care less about avatars

[solemn plaza]

So the white elephant went extinct?

i dunno what's worse, your typing or the fact that i understood it

[gloomy narwhal]

not enogh ppl are voting with there money

[little violet]

Scopely don't care bout the smalls they only target whales with events and say screw everyone else

I mean that is proven.. in actions repeatedly

[boreal oasis]

dude.....

[solemn plaza]

But if all the F2P people quit who are the whales going to pvp with?

[coral sedge]

So you guys are just cool with lying to us then?

[little violet]

Exactly cause they ain't pvping the other whales often..

Unless they are the strongest on the server and they will eat the other whales like minnows.. Then it will become a spending spree to see who can beat each other.. That is what scopely loves...

[primal stag]

#🌌-galaxy-chat message

[little violet]

Of course their cop out is going to be.. Well we did add something.. Just not to the arc store 🤣

Typical lack of communication... Just like half the crap they trick people into buying and then they realise it doesn't do what they thought ti would because the wording is so bad

[queen jolt]

https://tenor.com/view/what-wait-hold-on-let-me-speak-gif-13499166

[neat cobalt]

Only $99 option for the elite now ?

[queen jolt]

cmon peeps get eggnogs or drinks, while Pauly checks this

[solemn plaza]

Maybe the white elephant option was people not spending ESC. Then you'll end up with a very expensive useless item in your inventory (which is essentially what a white elephant gift is)

[dull mason]

I don't like any of those things....⬆️

[little violet]

https://tenor.com/view/merry-christmas-xmas-happy-holidays-macho-danny-party-gif-15858640

[dire flower]

Frankly what I understood by there wording , there is no addition to the existing arc, but new small event arc. And that's what happened. Only thing is bp unlock is higher because of newyear

[dull mason]

[gloomy narwhal]

that might be, but the original question that hammy ansewered "yes next week" to was about arc event store

[dire flower]

He might have got it wrong. There is new arc he confused that existing arc would get additional officers or what ever

[little violet]

You know what would have been really nice... If the fricking announcement went out about the additions... IF any are coming before the dude that was working on it left for vacation... The fact that scopely does that 💩 is a really annoying flaw. Stop being so dang greedy and just poll the 💩 before the arc and put it in the store from the start...

[primal stag]

The OFFICER flash pass is a joke by not guaranteeing officers and now the event store updates that hammy has been talking about for 2 weeks isn't coming? This is shaping up to be a great end of the year

One of the Devs said there would be more things put into the event store in the Q&A so they don't have any excuse for not adding things now.

but Event store and Arc Event Store is not the same

[proud parrot]

I love the new feature in this game where it says you're warping forever until you restart the game

[dire flower]

Misunderstanding and not clearly worded statement.

From scopley ofcourse

[little violet]

Sad thing is their cop out will be, "We added the flash pass currency.. We never said it would be additions to the arc store currency."

Watch..

THat is going to be their response..

[dull mason]

Not just 007 but 0000 maybe 7 LoL 😂

[coral sedge]

Side dish of throwing Hammy under the bus for not understanding what the arc runners meant

[little violet]

It is his fault for not clarifying..

They probably didn't clarify to him.

I can see the coms being ... Don't come to my office asking me 💩 teams me so I can give you a roundabout answer

[proven quail]

<@&509691205798592532> so no basic flash pass pack?

[silver parcel]

It's being looked into

[little violet]

It is on their website..

[proven quail]

Ok

[queen jolt]

can you ping me your player ID

[silver parcel]

The webstore apparently has it for people that are missing it in game

[little violet]

Probably going to be the new normal since it is $20

Or you can get it on PC

[silver parcel]

Or it's just a bug

[dull mason]

He's Still here, 😱👉🏼🤣

[little violet]

I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't

Look at all the pay only crap this month

[ember marlin]

Hey?...what's up with not having $20 option for the Officer Flash Pass?

[little violet]

It was $10 actually

[silver parcel]

Check the webstore

In game is currently MIA for some people and being looked into

[dull mason]

no

[little violet]

Then he was just added there since i complained about it to Hampster

[silver parcel]

not just added, but with the last update

[little violet]

He just said ... interesting... Then nothing..

[dull mason]

That's not Good

[silver parcel]

been a few months now

[little violet]

Yep

[ember marlin]

I only have access to in-game and only shows the $100 pack for the elite flash pass

[little violet]

then goto startrekfleetcommand.com and get it there if you want

[solemn plaza]

They haven't added any "White elephant" options to any event store, which is what they said they'd be doing.

[steep aspen]

Ham did heavily imply before the spend event ended that the additions would have their own currency

[silver parcel]

No, he said it would more useful to spend their event currency on the event store then wait for the update

[little violet]

where was this

[ember marlin]

just hope that fix the in-game store for the $10 option of the flash pass

[little violet]

You can get it off their webstore.. Just the same... and you get multiphasics...

[turbid jackal]

CD for white Christmas .. wish u all well

[steep aspen]

On my phone so awkward to search, but if you look at my posts you can see a message chain about it

[solemn plaza]

If it used a different currency then it wouldn't be an addition to the existing store, it would be a completely separate store....

#🏆-event-chat message When he mentioned spending currency that weekend, I asked if the additions would use a new currency, and he said it was likely

[solemn plaza]

#keep-q-continuum-part-2-q-and-a message

[little violet]

That has nothing to do with what i posted just now..

[ashen harbor]

Funny you fix the only thing that costs money.

[steep aspen]

Ham suggesting that the new additions would use a new currency has nothing to do with no peeps about a new currency?

[solemn plaza]

A dev saying they'll be adding more stuff to the already existing store has nothing to do with a separate store for a different series of events being added at a later time.

[ashen harbor]

How about actually doing what you all said was going to happen. This is the end of the year Christmas event store and you more than dropped the ball. You lied to the player base and strung them along so now there are no events to get credit for by using the currency.

[little violet]

#keep-q-continuum-part-2-q-and-a message Sadly for this.. Scopely is to ignorant to look at actual power gain.. Most power booms come from turret... They have nerfed the power gained from turrets in events and the event has now become impossible to complete..

Just shows how actually out of touch they are with their own product..

[woeful compass]

@queen jolt anything on the event store additions we talked about?

[little violet]

I have gained 300m in building power from turrets alone... points are not showing in reflection... Means I should of had 1.2b power in the event from those turret upgrades alone... But here we are ... 170m points...

[ashen harbor]

They are not coming. They lied to us.

[primal stag]

Probably not coming

Despite being told for 2 weeks that they were coming

[steep aspen]

Last week Ham suggested the additions would use a new currency, and that's what we have now

[little violet]

With the flash pass store.. They got a cop out... White elephant is coming later

[woeful compass]

Those are not white elephant additions

Thats an entirely different thing

[little violet]

I keep telling him that but he keeps posting it lol

[steep aspen]

I don't know that it is an entirely different thing. You are stuck on the name of the bucket, but the intent seems to be the same

[woeful compass]

The new year stuff is not the white elephant stuff hammy promised

[little violet]

https://tenor.com/view/doggo-dog-annoyed-pissed-no-gif-27062669

[queen jolt]

Okay, peeps. We understand some of you were hoping for additions to the arc store. While we’ve been discussing potential updates with the Arc Runner, they’ve mentioned that any additions players are looking forward to won’t arrive until the # event stores.

In the meantime, Pauly will keep pushing for anything that can be added(no guarantees). For now, we recommend making the most of the current bundles.

[coral sedge]

Please express our most extreme disappointment

[steep aspen]

I don't think Ham ever mentioned "white elephant" stuff. ArnoldPalmer did, and he described it as having it's own bucket at the front of the store, which is what we have

[little violet]

https://tenor.com/view/champoy-el-risitas-kek-issou-etu-gif-17837830

[warped whale]

Appreciate you saying this. We weren’t hoping though. We were relying on what we were told, to be clear. Great things done this month, but this fiasco just goes into the “good old / same old scopely” pile. Appreciate your efforts though

[little violet]

Just spending my 💩 This is classic...

[woeful compass]

We werent hoping, we were told by a community manager they would be added. Entirely different thing

[woeful compass]

Hammy did

[ashen harbor]

Merry Christmas Scopley is Scrooge. The community managers lied.

[bright maple]

Wait. So we gave up on an SLB spend event in favor of additional sote items?

[steep aspen]

Link?

[ashen harbor]

Lost all respect for both of you.

[little violet]

No wonder Hampster took a vacation.. 🤣

[primal stag]

This won't be received well, unfortunate that we were promised additions for 2 weeks and scopely dropped the ball

[bright maple]

Store items that won't be coming

Big fat liars lol

[little violet]

https://tenor.com/view/loading-screen-gif-25439817

[woeful compass]

Cant find it, but I now he talked about it. He said there would be additions to the event store

[solemn plaza]

Can we change "hoping for additions" to "expecting additions since you were told for 2 weeks that there would be additions"

[steep aspen]

And he also said those additions would use a new currency. And we have additions that use a new currency

[queen jolt]

I'll share your exact words with the Arc runner🥵

[little violet]

https://tenor.com/view/hope-and-a-prayer-optimistic-hopeful-pray-prayer-gif-8655736879722937733

[steep aspen]

Do those screenshots mention "white elephant" specifically, or just event store additions?

[woeful compass]

This is one of the biggest screw ups you guyscould've made. Event store had been useless for the past year. We were promised additions and now it turns out you guys lied and that while its christmas...... @queen jolt

[little violet]

Here they are incase your scroll bar is broken

[woeful compass]

@steep aspen

[umbral vigil]

Can anyone advise what I should waste my currency on it all looks useless and overpriced TBH

He specifically stated white elephant items

[primal stag]

@queen jolt and this is why the pitchforks are coming out

And why can't the new year's store be the white elephant items? It matches the intent even if the name is wrong

[little violet]

https://tenor.com/view/muppetwiki-muppet-wiki-muppets-muppet-angry-gif-4979240094074316588

[solemn plaza]

To be fair to them they just tell us what they get told. And a Dev also said there would be additions to the event store, so Hammy was just parroting what a Dev told us all.

[woeful compass]

No it doesnt, that are not white elephant items

[bright maple]

To be fair, it's still all scopley

Scopley at fault here. Do t care which individual representative of scopley it was. All wear the scopley badge

[little violet]

just saying... why ask us what additions we wanted and then wipe their butt with it...

[steep aspen]

What are white elephant items then?

[warped whale]

What exactly are you trying to defend? The intent of messages delivered to us was conveying additions to the store we’ve been collecting currency on. Not some brand new store with brand new currency. At the very end, sure, messages were being walked back on. But the first couple weeks of the arc were “additions coming (to current store / currency)”

[little violet]

There will be an entirely different event called "White Elephant" just like they done for the last two years

[dire flower]

Now it's no use of any additional to the event, most of them have given up and used their currency, and if they even did its too late too little

[little violet]

It is usually on newyears

[deep eagle]

I don’t like be lied to so often in one month. First Mr Tiger says there will be special packs in the event store during a podcast then it gets announced multiple times in here by a CM. Then the Revenant MK2 type 03 refinery is falsely advertised in game. And all I get from support is: we checked the pricing and it’s correct and in here we get: sorry no event store bundle updates? Is this a joke?

[little violet]

https://tenor.com/view/welcome-to-the-party-nileseyy-niles-dancing-jamming-grooving-gif-19234267

[ashen harbor]

Nope. It’s no joke. They don’t care.

[steep aspen]

This is the source of the words "White Elephant" that so many people are stuck on. I don't see how the new year's store doesn't fit the bill #keep-q-continuum-part-2-q-and-a message

[warped whale]

Oh I don’t know. Maybe the fact he says next week. So clearly implying current store and currency

[deep eagle]

Using your current currency not a new one

[stark fjord]

I got soran earlier today 🙂

[steep aspen]

Ham specifically said we should spend our currency over the weekend because he thought the new additions would have a new currency, that is what I'm defending

[solemn plaza]

He said spend while the SLB was running since the new additions wouldn't be very good.

[warped whale]

Yes. Walking back, at the end, what we were told for weeks. Doesn’t negate the disappointment and anger at this typical scopely lying and misdirection

[little violet]

That is not what the conversation was even about... The white elephant is an entirely different event...

[deep eagle]

Yeah and this: no rotating special packs happening at all

And tournament is after the material choice store closes

All a silly joke

[spiral coral]

Anyone whose played this game long enough should know by now they misinform

[steep aspen]

I don't know what conversation you are referring to, but the additions not using the same currency has figured prominently in many complaints here

[little violet]

The white elephant is an entirely different event... Kind of like the Thanksgiving neelix banquette...

[steep aspen]

That's fair

[steep aspen]

Did they promise a White Elephant event, or "white elephant" style offerings?

[little violet]

That is because they don't know what he was even saying. That event is different. Scopely just don't know how to describe their own content

[deep eagle]

I understand that it's not your personal fault. But how can a company (multiple representatives) lie to their customers about that stuff?

[little violet]

This implies it is coming after...

[deep eagle]

And of course I will spend my Choice currency (for materials) tomorrow before the timer expires, and of course they will re-enable it during Alliance Tournament just to majorly .... me off

[woeful compass]

like what are you trying to do lol

[steep aspen]

And this new addition did come after. Why can't this be the white elephant type of offer?

[little violet]

The way it is worded is stupid and open to interpretation

[little violet]

Because there is no rotation...

[deep eagle]

that's from their Q&A

[little violet]

those events last like 2 to 3 days... And then refresh..

[steep aspen]

That's fair

[little violet]

WEll not event... They are store claims that rotate.

[deep eagle]

#keep-q-continuum-part-2-q-and-a message direct link

[little violet]

There has been two different things said so who knows at this point..

[steep aspen]

I started playing in June so I have no clue what the site offering you were expecting looks like, but, except for the rotation, what we have looks a lot like what was promised

[little violet]

I spent my currency and said screw it.

[steep aspen]

I'm trying to bring some reason to the outrage

[little violet]

The outrage is because the contridiction

[ashen harbor]

Perfect way to end the year of quality over quantity. Oh wait.

[steep aspen]

And, except for the lack of rotation, there isn't a contradiction

[little violet]

Their example of quaility was the Xindi arc.. Possibly the worst arc in the history ... Just saying..

[ashen harbor]

This is the worst event store ever. Only 5 officers.

[little violet]

Did you not read what hampster posted ... There is 1000% contradiction...

[ashen harbor]

Where are the rest that came out this year.

[little violet]

I know the context of those post because most were aimed at my questions...

[ashen harbor]

Just ignore dimwit. He is either a troll or a scopley employee.

[deep eagle]

There is no rotation in the event store, and the special packs usually cost like 75k or 150k currency and include multiple shards of rare and or epic officers or other stuff

[little violet]

Probably the arc runner trying to coa 🤣

[near bloom]

I see we’re all feeling how I’m feeling. Let’s just remember that the people we have here aren’t the people that Old Yeller nice things like this and are as disappointed to be doing this within minutes of the fat guy emptying his sack around people’s trees as we are being on the receiving end.

[steep aspen]

The addition to the event store in its own bucket placed up front using its own currency? What about that contradicts what we have?

[deep eagle]

Well I understand that it's christmas eve, etc. however that's a big F on comms

She’s already sourced in invasions

[little violet]

Yeah like 4 shards a month.. If invasions even happen. If you call that sourcing 🤷

If you are lucky with the rng a little bit more, but not that likely..

[wet anchor]

Can probably get 10+ if you spend it all on her

100k loot needed for 10 shards

[little violet]

You would have to win ever slb

If you won every slb you’d get a lot more than 10 shards

I've never bought a flash pass. The trend will not change

[primal stag]

This flash pass makes garbage more desirable

[little violet]

Just nice to see some consistency from scopely.. Starting off the year the same way they end it

[whole robin]

I have her and halfway to tier 2

[little violet]

Must be from the last spend event

[whole robin]

Got her from a SLB when I was ops 20 something

Months ago

Like August

[little violet]

Well low enough that scopely will throw you a bone because pvp in that range is not really a thing..

[whole robin]

Wasnt much competiton at that ops level

[shy hamlet]

ah yeah, the easy event brackets

[whole robin]

She is amazing for armadas

[little violet]

I know.. Which is why I want her

[shy hamlet]

if you're more than 20 ops below your server's biggest spenders it's really easy to get officers

I miss that sometimes

[whole robin]

One of our servers biggest whales is staying at ops 50 and dominating the second tier SLBs

[little violet]

She is one that will not be replaced for a long because she has both pve and pvp... All the armadas from 20-70 she will be usable for

[whole robin]

He has tier 11 NSEA at 50

Despite our level cap being 60 lol

[little violet]

that is doable... G5 is available at 50
