[weak cosmos]

Ferengi greed doesn’t hold a candle to Scopely greed.

[warm pivot]

try a restart

[solid sparrow]

I didn’t do either polygon or either heroic power gain one, and I’ll finish the last tier once I get my login one done.

[silver parcel]

claim the gift chests

[glad pike]

Comp chests are out for it

[silver parcel]

there's 2

[simple violet]

<@&509690795536941056> What exactly are Scopely doing here? How exactly are some people completing this New Years stuff without doing polygon stuff and others cant what are they smoking?

[simple violet]

How the heck does that work

[reef pilot]

i can't say the same for myself 😄 i keep adding it keeps counting but as you can see the button is now greyed out 😄 i'm breaking it

[hardy birch]

2nd comp chest makes it possible but I need to do the heroic new admadas before it was possible finish without

[left dome]

It is very unreasonable to have this type os requirement before anybody can get it free to play. If thos was at least 100 days after the release of the revenant then inwould not complain. But again, scopley is pushing more and more pay to play

[abstract fiber]

They don't respond, and close out customer support chats in the middle of the night

[solid sparrow]

Its 180k

[simple violet]

Then I will get banned for spamming because that is an absolute joke

[abstract fiber]

I raised the issue with the polygon for servers that haven't ascended... It's literally 1000% impossible

[wooden drum]

Can't complete the full event as F2P because it's locked behind a paywall

[simple violet]

There is no way it makes any sort of sense how some people can reach all the milestones without the polygons, and others can

[reef pilot]

that says 18k not 180k can you read or are your glasses dirty?

[foggy parrot]

my glasses are verrry dirrty... cos I've been a bad, bad boy... 😉

[warm pivot]

https://tenor.com/view/ew-brotha-eww-meme-eww-eww-gif-gif-1452572770363109714

[reef pilot]

yeah that one requieres the new ship to complete it if you don't have it you can go kick rocks basically or hope your alliance if you are in one will carry you through 25 of them

[pine phoenix]

Lovely paywalled last of the year event
That a very good show what to expect in 2025
Pay pay pay or uninstal

[wooden drum]

Yeah a few members of my alliance have the ship, but I hadn't really seen anyone running the Polygon Armadas Armadas we've had days of Armada stuff already where those were part of it

[potent gorge]

so to end this event ya really need to do all the heroic 💩

[hardy birch]

Before today's events launched it was possible to finish without. Some people on 137 have finished without doing them others need to do them. Who ever is "fixed" it may be new years but put down beer and do a proper job

[wooden drum]

I just need the heroic Armadas and the day 5 claim.. everything else is done and collected

[solid sparrow]

They’ve had numbers cut off on these all week. Its 180k. Not saying its good programming, just letting you know what you need to finish 😆

[foggy parrot]

everyone should end the year in style and buy the ss rev... 🤣 🤣 🤣 nope couldn't make it all the way without laughing

[solemn plaza]

Does that mean I have to buy a 2nd one or am I good with the 1 I already have?

[foggy parrot]

buy 2 get 1 free?

[lofty linden]

Solo’s count for the Polygon Group mada’s too.

[foggy parrot]

still needs a ssrev

[shy hamlet]

do you mean polygon solos? bajoran solos didn't

[warm pivot]

bajoran solos counted for regular group armadas as well

[red stag]

Quick question for the higher lvl guys what crews you all using for 65+ hostiles?

[reef pilot]

sure on the mobile version it's cutt off but on the desktop client there's enough room for the numbers not cutt off

[foggy parrot]

and yet it's still cut off

[karmic inlet]

are we gonna get more stuff like this new years boldy go thing?

[pine phoenix]

You forgot in your announcement
Everyone who paid can finish the NY event

[simple violet]

@atomic notch No you guys didn't fix anything, you've made it arguably FAR worse by sending different people DIFFERENT amount of points, so how exactly does that fix anything?

[umbral vigil]

Thanks for paywalling the NYE event - completed everything except for the Revenant tasks and miss out by 60 points.

Great 'Celebration'(!)

[reef pilot]

let's talk about cutting things off. if they was cutting numbers off this wouldn't be a thing.

[signal vortex]

Many of my alliance completed it without the Rev.

[pine phoenix]

Absolutely bombastic end of year 😂

[modest shale]

Question, iv done every event but the 25 polygon and day 5. I have 70 points left to complete but only 40 from last day event is that right?

[plucky roost]

with the scoring adjustment, i’ll be 10 points shy

[warm pivot]

ah the classic one ^^

[plucky roost]

that’s kind of irritating

[simple violet]

Yeah because scopely are too incompetent to send out the same chests to everyone, so some will complete the event, others wont. Scopely at work screwing stuff up as usual

[plucky roost]

only thing i didn’t do was the Poly armada stuff

[modest shale]

Others in same boat as me have finished the event

[modest shale]

Fair play great best go have another beer and forget about it then

[warm pivot]

most likely because you were too fast on day 1 and didnt get points awarded for a task

[wanton laurel]

scopely just gave me 15m lat, name a ferengi taht will do that!

[foggy parrot]

there is a simple solution... just give them your wallet 😜

[modest shale]

My ex wife always said I was 2 fast

[foggy parrot]

she was right

[wanton laurel]

some stupidity about eh

[modest shale]

Makes a change

[foggy parrot]

I know what it's like to be wrong... I've been married

[late ermine]

Happy new year everyone

[warm pivot]

you married the wrong woman then, makes her right as well ^^

[foggy parrot]

I thought I married miss right... my mistake was it was miss always right

[lime wraith]

Very nice with the scoring corrections I was able to complete the last milestone even without the poly armadas. A true New Years Celebration! Thank you CM's. 🙂

[simple violet]

Shouldn't make any difference at all, Scopely need to actually do their jobs properly for a change instead of sending out different amounts of points to people. It's a joke that just shows their incompentence

[warm pivot]

https://tenor.com/view/willy-wonka-gene-wilder-you-must-be-new-here-gif-3545114

[foggy parrot]

you must be new here 😂 😉

[umbral vigil]

How have some people been sent more points?!

@queen jolt

[silver parcel]

They didn't send different points, everyone got 100

to cover the discrepancy of those that were missing 20+ points

[simple violet]

100% they sent different amounts of points to people.

[silver parcel]

No

[pine phoenix]

Nope got 10

[lime wraith]

I got more than 100 points. I got 100 and was 60 short of finishing, then I got more later which let me finish the last milestone.

[arctic flint]

<@&509690795536941056> Any word or chance on getting more polygon armada directives to complete boldly events?

[umbral vigil]

Then why are some completing the last chest without doing the Revenant tasks?

[simple violet]

If they sent everyone the same amount of points, why are some of my alliance on 2220 points, whilst I'm on 2170, and we've done the SAME tasks?

[warm pivot]

you dont

[timber vortex]

I'm confused how they expect us to finish the poly Armadas? We only get 1 a day and I'm short 9 poly Armadas

[lethal coral]

If you see an earlier milestone at 63000 giving 80 tokens , what in the world made you think that the task that gives 120 tokens is gonna be 1/4 of the previous milestone ? A bit of common sense would lead you to the answer: you need more (180k)

[lime wraith]

This is me. I got more than 100 points. Not that I'm complaining.

[simple violet]

How dare you speak the truth here, you must be banned 🤣 You can't prove scopely are incompetent in such a way

Anyone from Scopely want to explain the above or just hide away and hope people forget it?

[umbral vigil]

Except some have done

[wanton laurel]

proof requires more than one SS...

[warm pivot]

yeah, about that 🤣

[foggy parrot]

only @queen jolt and his flame-retardant suit

[weak cosmos]

They gave you pixels to spend on their broken pixels.

[foggy parrot]

why say "Don't shoot the messenger" when that's exactly why they hire said messenger?

[warm pivot]

https://tenor.com/view/scopely-worf-star-trek-tng-gif-14364051566714364063

[wanton laurel]

nah i bought the 5.00 pack 6 years ago, haven't had a broken pixel yet

[simple violet]

It's not hard to get screenshots from my alliance who have done the same tasks I have, and have different amounts of points. Scopely just refuse to admit they do anything wrong or try to fix it in the same way for everyone.

[lime wraith]

I know it's more than 100 because I initially got the first 100 points and was 60 short of finishing once the Day 5 login came thru. Then suddenly I was just done.

[foggy parrot]

equality...? smells a bit like socialism 😂

[wanton laurel]

i mean you're complaining about a comp chest sent out because they did something wrong and saying they never admit when they did anything wrong...

but sure

[eager pike]

I need 100% completion, time for ata - blah

[pine phoenix]

So you say they fixed it ?

[wanton laurel]

fixed what?

[lethal coral]

Without borg polygon armadas I will be at 2220 , it's gonna be a sad new years

[pine phoenix]

World peace 🤣

[simple violet]

I'm complaining because if 2 people have done the same tasks, and have claimed the chests, they should have the same amount of points, not different? I'm complaining because scopely are incompetent and need to actually sort stuff out instead of sending random stuff to random players

[wanton laurel]

i'll take more random stuff for a thousand Alex!

[simple violet]

But apparently scopely doesn't like being told the truth

It's not trolling when it's the truth

[wanton laurel]

so you're short and you've done everything but poly's and the rep for today, and you've done your 5th day claim?

[lime wraith]

I mean I don't know it's being implied that I'm lying just for trying to be helpful and provide screenshots of my points. But sure I guess I'll just stay out of it, good luck everyone!

[warm pivot]

psychology named that "trauma bonding" 🤣

[wanton laurel]

never said you were lying.... it's hard to establish a base when there are 70 ops, 90 events of scoring....

[simple violet]

That's exactly what scopely want

[simple violet]

Will be short 150 points because of the pay poly armadas
Was 160 short but the last comp chest given 10 points
There's no logic only scopley math 😂

[warm pivot]

they attempt to figure out the 3 body problem ^^

[lethal coral]

Lol I'm gonna be 20 short without the polys , math ain't mathin

[wanton laurel]

there were two comp chests...

[foggy parrot]

a lot of times... I think you're underestimating

[wanton laurel]

did you open both? if you only got ten points that seems odd..

[wanton laurel]

https://tenor.com/view/star-trek-deep-space9-star-trek-garak-bashir-distrust-gif-23025715

When I logged in today (an hour ago) there was only 1 comp chest called "scoring correction" and then the holiday chest available , I didn't receive a 2nd chest for scoring

[pine phoenix]

And ?
Collected both
Not changing that Im screwed because not buy renevant 😂

Maybe that's where my 20 points went 😮

[lime wraith]

I got three comp chests (I swear I'm not lying). All named Scoring Correction or something like that.

[hot dove]

Dear ladies, gentlemen, etc. of species 5618, which are also known as Terrans, modern humans or scientifically Homo Sapiens Sapiens and dear other species,

I wish you all a happy new year full of happiness. Next year is just a logbook that you still have to fill and I hope that next year you learn a lot and gain experience at such a high level where no men has gone before. You should grow and learn from these so that your life is as happy as that of a Terran in the 24th century AD on Earth. Set goals that you will achieve in the next year.
Happy New Year 🎇🎆

I don’t mind heroics netting you more stuff but “haha no completion for you, pauper” is a really bad message to players and disincentivises spending.

I - like many - are way more likely to spend on things that get us more than “gun to head, spend to finish”.

[heavy idol]

It's literally why I don't spend on the regular, that exact attitude

[near bloom]

Gun to head, spend to finish is how on OFP launch day with a bunch of new events I’m sat playing SimCity (2013) and enjoying that more than STFC. If you know your SimCity, you know just how strong a statement that is.

But it doesn’t take a genius to piece together some movers and shakers from EA of around that time to another developer relevant to this discussion shortly afterwards.

Ducks from incoming severance letter

[heavy idol]

Thing is, EA seems to have eventually woken up and learned from certain mistakes

Ubisoft did not

Not to mention Warner bros

[near bloom]

The gaming industry is actually really small, so it is incredibly easy for people to become very “no, I know what I’m doing, you’re just wrong”

[warm pivot]

ea just loves money more than virtue signaling, that doesnt make them better devs ^^

[heavy idol]

No I'm still no EA fan, don't get me wrong. But even in terms of making fat stacks, one has to realise eventually that annoying gamers is a very poor business strategy

[near bloom]

Yeah, EA worked out very quickly that appearing in mainstream press articles slamming their business practices was not good for business.

Dunno how it is in the UK since brexit, but in the EU they've been trying to have loot boxes with % chance drops chucked under gambling laws

No progress as of yet tho afaik

Tell you what tho, little fun fact perhaps

I assume most here have played GTA 5?

GTA 6, do we think it’s going to be event store additions late or incursions late?

Neither, cause it'll be late but it'll actually be close to what players want/expect

did anyone else notice the 51 planet harvesters in mirror space drop less faction credits than the 50 romulan miners?

about 6-7k per 100 vs about 9k

[near bloom]

Can’t say I did, no, mainly cos I need to refer you to the gif one post previous.

[whole robin]

well the 51s give almost triple the rep though

60k instead of 25k

[heavy idol]

Yes the 51s are terrible, either go 50 in pjem or go that higher system.. forgot the name

[near bloom]

I only found out about Mirror Tau Ceti the other day.

[whole robin]

I can try the 54 but will probably get obliterated only t6 NSEA lol

or was it 55

maybe next tier

[heavy idol]

Hang on, will log on and tell you where I farm

[whole robin]

I'm just doing the 50s for now I can kill over 100 of them

[pastel knot]

go to Romii

[whole robin]

but would be useful to know if next stop is 55 or 58

yeah I can't kill those yet 😄

[solemn plaza]

The 51s are easier to kill. More rep less credits.

[heavy idol]

Altanea is where I went until I built my sanctus yesterday. Used my vorcha with speed crew, around 7.5k for each faction per trip

[whole robin]

the 51s are harder than the 50s lol

much harder

but yes more rep, less credits

[heavy idol]

Pjem is terrible compared

[whole robin]

I can kill about 30 51s, over 100 50s

I farm in Altanea

[pastel knot]

then don't go to Romii

[whole robin]

yeah Altanea is where I farm

[heavy idol]

Altanea is the best you'll do for now then I think

[whole robin]

what about the 55s? are they bad credits too?

[solemn plaza]

What crew.

[whole robin]

with any crew the 51s are literally 5x the power

actually wait maybe 2-3x I forget

[heavy idol]

55s are just harder to kill, speed crew on a lower system > hitting up

[solemn plaza]

Crew makes a difference. The 51s are special

[whole robin]

with PMC I can only kill about 30

with SNW Pike I can kill over 100 50s

with snw pike on 51s I can do about 27

[pastel knot]

got janeway?

[whole robin]

nope not yet

[wanton laurel]

No JW on Mu reds stick with spike

And hemmer

[whole robin]

yeah except that one system PMC works better because they only do energy damage

only in pjem

[pastel knot]

i use janeway on Romii, its fantastic

who do you use with JW for when I get her?

And yet, here we are.

[simple violet]

They've added the holiday choice event store, now all they need to do is sort out the points for the new years rubbish they've screwed up

[near bloom]

I’m trying to ask, but it seems I am out of favour.

Different levels seem to have different points tallies.

I’m too short to make it with what I can do, but others are safe.

[simple violet]

Anyone asking scopely to fix their screw ups is out of favour, it seems to be shunned on expecting scopely do the decent thing and fix their screw up

[dull mason]

https://tenor.com/view/really-neil-degrasse-tyson-startalk-are-you-sure-is-it-true-gif-22232422

[simple violet]

I've got players in my alliance 1 ops lower than me that will finish it without the 25 polygons, I'll be 30 short. Apparantly calling out scopely for being incompetent is rude, I do love how it's wrong to speak the truth these days

[near bloom]

I just want to understand it. Fixing it is a decision they have to make on how broken it is, and whether they wish to “balance” that, but from where I sit it doesn’t feel OK that some people don’t have to do the polygons and they’re OK, but others do.

[near bloom]

Well, there is speaking the truth and there is being insulting and derogatory plum. It is generally best to stick to the former.

[simple violet]

100% it's rubbish, they need to fix it so it's the same for everyone, anything else is a complete joke

[simple violet]

Calling scopely incompetent isn't rude in my eyes, it's the truth 😄 There are PLENTY of other things that could be said that are rude 😄

[near bloom]

I appreciate that emotions and frustrations run high but there’s a line and we all agreed to it.

[spice nexus]

I'd also love to know how I scored 1 point without doing any poly group armadas or solos

It's either a visual glitch or there's some other scoring criteria noone knows about

[silver parcel]

What is or isn't rude in your eyes isn't relevant, it is rude and you were told to stop.

[simple violet]

It doesn't help when scopely have gone quiet, they know they've screwed up, but instead of saying we messed up again, we will fix it, they are ignoring it hoping it goes away

[simple violet]

Ok, so if I am not allowed to point out where scopely screwed up by typing the I word, what words am I am allowed to use?

[near bloom]

Describing why you feel something stems from incompetence - “it shouldn’t need us to do xyz”, “basic QA should pick this up”, “having two outcomes from the same actions isn’t great” - is fine. Calling something incompetence isn’t. It is built on presumption.

[warm pivot]

they never admit they messed up, so that thing with again is imaginary ^^

[near bloom]

Scopely have indeed gone rather quiet (it is NYE, but they did kinda go “fixed right? Byeeeee!”) and it is very frustrating.

[simple violet]

They never have, and never will that's the problem

[simple violet]

Not sure what else it could be when different people are getting different amounts of points in the scopely version of fixing the issue tbf

[near bloom]

That.

That isn’t an issue.

“It is unfair and unreasonable that different people are getting different amounts of points in the Scopely version of fixing this” is good.

Calling them names off the back of that is not.

https://tenor.com/view/simples-meerkat-simple-compare-the-meerkat-compare-the-market-gif-15146657

[simple violet]

I'm not calling them names, at least that's not my intention. I'm just pointing out their work ability

[near bloom]

An assumption and an insulting or derogatory name.

🤷🏻‍♂️

[hazy pier]

https://tenor.com/view/internet-police-siren-linus-tech-tips-alert-typing-gif-26322165

[simple violet]

Depends on how you are using it I guess, but I guess if scopely didn't screw up we wouldn't be having this conversation

[near bloom]

You assume incompetence, devils advocate it could be inexperience. Neither of those are things you should be calling out so brashly on the internet to strangers with real lives and real feelings, when you don’t know all of what is going on.

[near bloom]

You agreed to the rules, if you no longer like them the exit is easily accessible 🤷🏻‍♂️.

I’m here to help people express their disappointment in a way that Scopely have to ignore rather than effectively hide behind rules having unpaid volunteers deleting.

[solemn plaza]

Gets even worse when you remember it's not actually scopely that make the game....its Digit 🤣

[warm pivot]

but we are allowed to make fun of people making SIMPLE math mistakes when working as designer? ^^

[spice nexus]

It all boils down to insufficient communication. Nothing is more frustrating than not knowing what's going on or being done

[simple violet]

It's impossible to know what is going on or what happened when the people that have screwed up go silent, which is what leads to assumptions, clearly scopely have failed to do their jobs correctly (shock horror I know)

You have to remember scopely "fixed" it by sending out chests which is where the problem is coming from. The fix they did has made it worse, not better and instead of saying ok we screwed up, they've gone silent. There is no way they don't know they've screwed up, yet they wont do anything so of course people are going to moan

[near bloom]

Don’t know the detail of this instance but I (in)famously slapped about a CC for breaking rules. Mods may not be able to effect action against devs (I’ve not checked permissions in a year now) but they can ask that a CM remind them that etiquette is a two way street.

[near bloom]

I agree that it is unjust, and that I do not find it acceptable. It is a large part of why I am on here encouraging people to voice their discontent appropriately and not get themselves moderated by being silly with what they say, and not in game.

[simple violet]

I'll agree with you there, but where is the etiquette from scopely admiting they screwed the pooch with the points they've given out and saying they will fix it?

[pastel knot]

all of this just because someone used the word incompetent? for crying out loud, i've seen moderators use sarcasm to belittle other people here complaining about the problems that the game has

[warm pivot]

always recieving point correction comp chests got nothing to do with anybody leaking info. it just happens pretty regulary these days

[simple violet]

https://tenor.com/view/usher-letitburn-gif-6075238

[near bloom]

“It is borderline incompetent to do xyz” may be seen as acceptable, but “just how incompetent do you have to be to xyz” is probably across the line. Context matters.

[simple violet]

I know if this was my job and I screwed up like this, I'd be marched into my managers office straight away and have them demanding I fix it, when we make mistakes at work, we admit we made mistakes and fix them, we let people know what we are doing so it avoids all this rubbish, we don't say we fixed it and hide.

[solemn plaza]

Is the word for falling frozen water that children like still censored here?

[near bloom]

The assumption here is that the situation exists that players should have more than they currently do. I expect we’re not being told directly but indirectly being told “sucks to be you, you should have to do the Heroic events for completion” which means that management will not sign off on overtime or effort if it’s normal working day to “fix” removing token rewards from a handful of players.

[solemn plaza]

You don't work in game development or Government do you? 😂😂

[simple violet]

I work in a bank 🤣

[near bloom]

Banks get away with murder in the right places

And strung up on a cross if they screw up in the wrong places

Fintech here. Telephone number fines for seemingly trivial stuff and “just say sorry” for what I’d consider massive 🤣

[hazy pier]

but someone cannot say "incompetent"

🤭

[misty island]

I don't understand the complaints. This event has boosted me big time on mats and lat, even if we can't finish events. This has been the best payout in game ever.

[near bloom]

You cannot call them incompetent. That’s against the rules you agreed to when joining here.

Hope that helps.

[simple violet]

The problem is that with the chests scopely screwed up when they sent out, some poeple will reach the final milestone WITHOUT doing all the tasks, while others wont. So some get lucky while others get screwed, which I guess is the scopely way

[spice nexus]

I think it's rather ironic that the event is titled ENGAGE! when I am unable to "engage" unless I've bought the new ship

[misty island]

yeh maybe, but still not going to complain from what I have gained 😄

[near bloom]

I very much dislike this imbalance but nothing I am doing is getting any attention and if I kick anything much harder it’s gonna kick back.

[solemn plaza]

There's also people that changed grade mid way through and got both grades challenges for the mats spend so ended up with extra points.

[simple violet]

Which again is crazy, but of course we aren't allowed to say that

[simple violet]

Why should we be scared of it kicking back? What's going to happen? We get banned from a discord that clearly doesn't like it when the truth about scopely is negative? If scopely could actually fix something, when they said it was fixed this wouldn't be an issue at all. You cannot say you fixed an issue when it has made it worse, NO workplace I've ever worked would accept that, yet here we have to bow down to scopely and accept their screw ups without calling them out? That fixes nothing, that just means they will carry on doing what ever they want.

[near bloom]

You assume that the fix was to get you to completion, the fix was to cover a delta that some players had even wjth doing the Polygon armadas.

My dislike of this is that seemingly arbitrarily some people now can complete it without the armadas, where others cannot.

[solemn plaza]

I just took the 2400 store credits and ran lol

[simple violet]

That's the problem though, the fix was SUPPOSED to be to fix the error that stopped people completing the tasks today, which it has, but given that same fix has completely screwed up the points for pretty much everyone, needs to be addressed and scopely need to pull their heads out of hte sand

[near bloom]

One has to question whether it is incompetence, inexperience or indifference that we are getting radio silence on the fallout of this situation. But here’s the thing. You can ask questions like this.

You just can’t accuse people of it or call them names.

[simple violet]

The fix should have given everyone the SAME amount of points, not different.

[near bloom]

It did give them the same amount of points.

I believe.

[simple violet]

No it didn't, otherwise we wouldn't be having this conversation

[near bloom]

But what changes between them is the points tally they got on the way.

[near bloom]

Prove it.

[heavy idol]

This is the important bit folks seem to often forget

[simple violet]

If everyone got the same amount of points in the chests, why are some of 2220, and need 20 to complete the event, whilst others are on 2170?

[near bloom]

“This situation wouldn’t exist” isn’t proof. The only thing it proves is the outcome.

[solemn plaza]

Could have also just been a super quick fix that wasn't checked properly because they running on a skeleton crew due to the fact it's a holiday.

[near bloom]

What it doesn’t prove is where the delta comes from.

[near bloom]

Exactly. Tons of reasons.

[simple violet]

https://discordapp.com/channels/509679626763632640/509686204975808512/1323727819150196878

I can post pictures of EVERY SINGLE TASK if needed, but BOTH players have completed the SAME tasks, yet the total points is different.

[solemn plaza]

Could be a sync issue and the 1 persons points didn't log properly.

[near bloom]

Your assumption is that the award from each task processed properly and accurately and it is the comp that was different.

[simple violet]

Which again then means scopely screwed up yet again.....

[warm pivot]

yeah, the eventthingy was borked from the start xD

[near bloom]

But not in the way you’re yelling about

[warm pivot]

but thats a whole other argument ^^

[near bloom]

So let’s circle back to the whole “assumptions” and “insults” thing.

That’s the problem.

[solemn plaza]

This game is notorious for having sync issues and point issue for events. I myself have had to open more than 1 ticket for "missing" like 1200 BP points at the end.

[near bloom]

You’re angry, fed up, disappointed, insert any number of things here.

Understandably so.

But you cannot fix this with assumptions and insults.

[simple violet]

I assume scopely screwed up, not exactly an assumption given the screw ups from day one of this event, scopely are doing nothing to resolve the issue except hiding. At what point does it stop being an assumption when it's clear scopely have screwed up?

[near bloom]

We need someone with the tools inside Scopely to understand what broke where, and explain whether we are or are not getting this fixed.

[heavy idol]

If I've learned one thing watching this chat it's that HD enjoys when folks come here with properly supported arguments on things. Much like myself. If you come in here with a "hurr scopely durr" attitude, expect some flak.

[simple violet]

It's scopely, they won't fix anything, and that's a fact, not an assumption

[heavy idol]

And simply saying "they screwed up because they always screw up", isn't a properly backed argument

[near bloom]

Disagree, and can evidence a few instances… but I will concede it’s not their strong point.

[inner wave]

https://tenor.com/view/sir-patrick-stewart-patrick-stewart-engage-serious-gif-12281820

[simple violet]

All they will say is it's too much work to fix it, same with the bug that people exploited when Holodeck could be upgraded, that allowed players to buy 1 pack and max the building in the same day

[solemn plaza]

Honestly there's also way too many hands in the pot to just point at Scopely and blame them.

[near bloom]

I think it would cost nothing and yield a lot in community sentiment even if the answer is unfavourable if someone could stick their head up and say “they shouldn’t have it, but they do, it should need you to complete the heroic polygon tasks”.

At least we have our answer, rather than radio silence feeling like we have an issue and that it is us that have been the recipient of an issue, not them.

[heavy idol]

Stfc community isn't evil, nor is it "out to get scopely". They would do well filtering out the constant complainers here and focusing on the feedback from folks who genuinely just want a nicer game to play

[near bloom]

The problem is the constant complainers aren’t “wrong” per se, they just are inarticulate.

This is why I want people to express themselves within the rules.

[eager pike]

& poor?

[heavy idol]

It's not the message, it's the way it's being delivered

[red locust]

[near bloom]

At least then Scopely have to actively ignore the feedback, rather than binning it because insulting or something.

[red locust]

Preparing screen bug.. not gonna go any time soon?

[timber valve]

I swear Scopely loves throwing bugs at us

[simple violet]

You are right, it's my fault for assuming that a company like scopely would admit they've made a mistake somewhere and would actually fix it like pretty much anywhere else would. My mistake.

[misty island]

Happy new year to all 🍻

[solemn plaza]

We're normally at -30C so it being +3 is just wrong, plus there's no snow which is just sad.

[warm pivot]

have you ever been responsible for getting rid of it? no snow is a heavens gift ^^

[solemn plaza]

Yes but I also like the snow so do the children lol.

[warm pivot]

my back hurts just by remembering past few years ^^

[heavy idol]

Where you at?

Ish

[solemn plaza]

Been getting less and less snow the past few years. 2018 we got like 6 feet of snow, now we barely got 2 inches.

The agent helping us out at the time described BC as "well.. 80% of Canadians live on the border with the US.. so it could be worse"

Hell of a sales pitch

Yup 80% on the boarder and like 45% live in 1 province (and that's not BC)

10 points shy of the top engage milestone.... did everything but the 2 borg armada ones.... should have labeled the whole event "heroic"

[silent hollow]

Fact.

Im in the same boat

[solemn plaza]

English is probably the most stupidly over complicated language out there purely because it's like 60 other languages smushed together.

[hallow iron]

i did all but one borg armada event and im 30 points shy

[heavy idol]

English is so easy 😂 there's a reason so many people speak it as 2nd language

[quartz talon]

why is hitting the top level of the event required, it's only a small increase in the total event currency that you get

[heavy idol]

Honestly few things amuse me more than native English speakers who think their language is complicated

[dull mason]

The uk has many versions of English...

[frank loom]

I did the 10 one. 16/25 on the second yet still short

[solemn plaza]

There are aspects of the language which make 0 sense and are completely contradictory to other parts of the language. If you look into the origin of some words the ridiculousness becomes more prevalent.

Considering that some people still can agree on the plural of Octopus or platypus.

[dull mason]

🤓👆🏼🤣

[heavy idol]

That's for every language tho. This may come across as rude, but I don't think anyone who can speak just 1 language fluently is qualified to speak on the difficulty of said languages

I mean, I'm Dutch and used to think both Dutch and English were pretty tricky. Then I moved to Iceland and had to learn a 1000 year old language. Then I moved back home and found myself struggling with my mother tongue.

But I never, even for a minute, struggled with English 🤷‍♂️

[dull mason]

That's why the early movie and tv companies had the Transatlantic accent

[heavy idol]

Personally I think this day and age everyone should be fluent in English

Would make life easier

[opal sleet]

the final milestone is 3200 new years tokens, which for me is approx 2.5t trit plus 2.5t trit in tokens.... and as someone who is trit starved right now, that's quite a bit to be ticked over

[solemn plaza]

Going from any of the western European languages to English shouldn't be too bad since in some way they're all smushed together as the bases for English. Just took all your words and got rid of all your rules to make up some new ones that only make sense half the time.

[tulip jackal]

Happy early Newy Year everyone. If anyone you know (that claims to be your friend/loves you) suggests that you should check out the movie Hoard (2023), do yourself a favor: stop speaking to that person. Also, ignore what Rotten Tomatoes says.

I tend to send multiple ship's out, Voyager is doing some good in the system near Gorn and around Rom, try the other side of that group

Some missions require a lot of going back and forth

[stark fjord]

so is tier 7 crozier good tier for the ship?

[hot dove]

Id imagine tier 8 is better

[glad pike]

Yes. The extra crew slot helps a good bit.

If you can manage, T7 is a good stopping point so you can start saving for G5 epics. ofc, you can go higher, but T7 should handle everything until 60

Let's make 2025 the year you all wake up and don't spend money on mobile gaming. You're the reason we're here🫣

why you worried about what other people spend on games

You say that... If spenders didn't exist you wouldn't have anything to play on your phone...

[steady oyster]

Because maybe i get a better game😱

[little violet]

Scopely is to stupid.. They would let this game die first

They are already worried about the state of the game with the survey questions they had in the last one..

[shadow forum]

Question, how do i get the armada tactical cores to do the armada command center research? The only source i've found seemingly requires you to do armadas to get the tokens to exchange. But i need the armada center for that so i'm really damm confused.

[silver parcel]

You need to have someone host the armadas for you

[split dagger]

why do people get so salty when surveys or waships get hit opc? we had grievances spill into incursions, where a certain alliance would not allow my alliance to participate in raids, whether it be on whales or not

[little violet]

If you ar ein a new server. You have to join an alliance that bought it. Possibly put a ticket in with scopely and if you get a nice cs rep they may give you lvl 1

[warm pivot]

only in token systems the salt levels rise, as we got em roe protected ^^

[split dagger]

that i understand... but this is out of token/protected systems

[glad pike]

War games do be like that

Sometimes it's just any reason to pewpew 😄

[thorn narwhal]

[split dagger]

it's so childish... especially during incursions... where everyone should be working together

[shadow forum]

Ughh, right, i assumed i couldn't joing those without the center so i've been ignoring them. it is a newish server with a low activity guild so not trival. I wasn't super fussed about getting it online but still my inner OCD doesn't like the empty building slot taunting me :p.

was ur server roe shown on one of revs videos, cuz our bullcrappppp one was

The new ship is free if your lvl 42 and spend 200 days farming el aurians

[split dagger]

lol... we competed against s35... they initially got a member of my alliance from the get go... abut 800T.... but we actually won at the end with over 1 Qd

[crisp nest]

while true, u cant compelte the event today

[little violet]

31 never wins incursions

[silent hollow]

80 was lucky

[split dagger]

so many 70's out there

[little violet]

My server has about 8 probably by now

[crisp nest]

wealso had the player, that was the jerk who donated to all the kids charaties, and then filed fraud charges/chargebacks on them

i dont think u can get any worse than that

[glad pike]

I guess. It's a game. They didn't want you joining in on their raid. Go find another? Moaning about having to find your own raid seems kind of childish too, tbh. 🤷‍♂️

[silver parcel]

I meant when they eat your station

I managed to shave 20% off one, lol

[little violet]

Oh well there probably not many that can keep that out

[split dagger]

we always put aside KOS or hard ROE for incursions... but this one alliance felt so butthurt they felt it was necessary to spill the grievances into incursions... which doesn't help to win overall (ie assisting in defending bases along with preventing raiding on whales... which the points count)

[little violet]

Reminds me of the good ole atari days.. when a space ship would blow up and you would her the you lose music 🤣

[thorn narwhal]

I think s168 are at war now as one of their ally’s tried to nick another’s map during Incursions…..was a shame we couldnt stay and watch 🍿

[opaque crescent]

lol yeah some alliances are just like that… all the other apac servers are so dead and we’ve never lost so we sorta lost the idea that we should focus on teamwork by now coz unless someone seriously big drops shield we always win by fairly big margins

[split dagger]

the best is when i said on our discord server... we are not at war... bunch of people responded with the thumb down emote... and i responded... hard roe is not the same as kos... hope you know the difference 😂

[opaque crescent]

ahahaha during incursions is such a jerk move tho, they had to know it wouldn’t go over well

[little violet]

https://tenor.com/view/mega-man-megaman-megaman-7-mega-man-7-megaman-dead-gif-7116235829601196177

Not atari, but same concept 🤣

[glad pike]

Sure. I get it. But again, this is just a game. They didn't want you joining in on their raid. Doesn't sound like they were scanning you w/ Voyagers and going to raid your base, so it's kind of a minimal slight. Complaining that they wouldn't let you join in their raid comes across as whiny too... and might even provide a hint about their perspective. You're sort of coming off as "they should have let us raid the base too." Seems sort of entitled. Not letting you join their raid won't win or lose the Incursion. Can only loot 5-seconds at a time anyway. "There's the alliance we dislike. Tell them to buzz off" doesn't seem anymore childish to me than "I don't care if you dislike us, you owe us some scoops on that base."

[split dagger]

however, that has been the premise during incursions... team work... we have dedicated channels for raids and defending

during incursions... we all share in raids and help defend bases

[thorn narwhal]

what they “tried’ to do was stay alive and/or cloak while some of our whales went in clearing the defending ally for pvp and ‘accidently’ win it…

[boreal oasis]

lol, stopping war for incursions,

[dull mason]

Crozier
A staff surmounted by a crook or c ross carried by b ishops as a symbol of p astoral office.

[split dagger]

and to clarify... when there is a base raid on a whale with multiple alliances... only the one alliance would hit us and interfere in the raid... it was singled out

[little violet]

That is the eh we are both tired of war.. Lets call a truce

[glad pike]

Right. We do it too, and have had generally good results. But we also have two alliances that have a pretty intense war that's been going for months. Guess what they do for the good of the server? They both avoid each other and look for raids in other systems. The two of them scouting at the same time actually nets us more points than them all gloming in one system. They know there's conflict, so take the not-childish route and just avoid one another during Incursions. Just a much more adult response to war than what it sounds like y'all are doing

iirc, their war started over an armada timer. 🤷‍♂️

[split dagger]

it wouldve been nice if they told us beforehand

[silver parcel]

aww yeah good run

[glad pike]

OK. That's fair. I'm with you on that one

[little violet]

nice, 6 is very rare...

I also am now able to kill 100 68's with snw 😄

[silver parcel]

14 today so far

[little violet]

I might do a run once i rejoin my alliance

[split dagger]

and the best way to win is to have a feeding frenzy on a whale base with non-stop scoops and gaining points... the whole point is to win incursions as a server... we all can go back to war or whatever afterwards... to me that's a strategy

[thorn narwhal]

sound familiar? 🤣🤣

[glad pike]

Better way to win is to have 2 feeding frenzies. Can't scoop any faster than 5s, so one alliance feeding while the other keeps scouting for targets is better than both alliances spamming attack on the one base. After abt 15 folks, you're not raiding any faster

[silver parcel]

with enough ships, multiple people can scoop at the same time

[glad pike]

How many hostiles that run?

[dull mason]

You just need to join 2/3 L35+ or higher Armada's, you will then have enough credits for the core's..
If decide to stay with them or go Solo up to you

[silver parcel]

110

[glad pike]

T14 Cube?

[glad pike]

How many minutes were you out there before hull popped?

[silver parcel]

hull didn't pop

[glad pike]

So that was 30 mins?

[split dagger]

multiple is always better... and obviously everyone is looking for the next base, but until a new base opens... no reason to kill an incoming amalgam or warship that is assisting to hit the opponent nor hit our own member's bases. that's a bit excessive in my opinion

[silver parcel]

can usually do about 150, but being distracted

usually have about 30-40 hull left

[glad pike]

Again, if the base is already saturated, others coming can become inefficient

[split dagger]

totally get that... but need to have as many players as possible to hit the base, so the target player can't put up shields or relocate

[glad pike]

I'm gonna have to figure out where my weak poit is, then. I can do 150, but need T14 Cube. I'm missing something out of the bazillion variables that makes Ent-D viable. ofc, I don't boost or anything, since Cube handles it fine, so ould just be that

[silver parcel]

what's your iso defense at?

[glad pike]

No, you don't. You just need enough to spam the base. If the other alliance had 4-5, that's one thing, but if they had 15-20, they had that base locked down if they were all spamming

A 16/16 node will usually be enough to lock a base down if 15 are raiding

[glad pike]

haven't looked at it, but I do notice you have Pelia. I don't usually run her for that. Gonna test that next time.

[silver parcel]

hit for 6m iso, i mitigate 4.5m

[glad pike]

But I got my Velox, so 70's not coming fast enough for me to grind rep much anymore

[silver parcel]

also, apex barrier

[glad pike]

Thanks. Gonna make a note of that and compare next time

[split dagger]

so the way it works on my server.. no one alliance places a claim on a raid during incursions ... it's all for one (which is completely different outside of incursions)

[twin fog]

<@&509690795536941056> serious lag, constant rebooting, can't click systems on s28. game play is garbage right now.

[little violet]

I don't use pelia cause she doesn't do much for me

[split dagger]

@glad pike so after incursions, i placed my sanctus to autogrind in texas space... one of offending players hit my ship... i didn't cry.. didn't care about the lost loot... i was only interested in leveling the ship... do i like it.. no... do i care that much to go on a rampage... lol... def no

I forgot to mention I have to cerritos to get 100 😛

Think she is tier 2 for me ... I think

[glad pike]

I get that. The point I'm trying to make is that the response to their childishness is kind of childish too. "They didn't follow our Incursion rule" etc, etc, etc. Sometimes you just gotta let it go and move on. So they're upset you hit their miners. Yes, childish. And now you're upset that they squeezed you out of a raid. Also childish. What's not childish? Ignore them and move on. It's just a game and people get bent for all sorts of things. Sometimes it's heving your miner hit. Sometimes it's being squeezed out of a raid. Meanwhile, everyone else is just shaking it off and finding something else to do. (And honestly, during an Incursion, looking for other bases is absolutely a useful strategy)

[stark fjord]

so armada pillager base loot increase is only 30% 😭😭😭

[silent hollow]

I just picked up monaveen from last event.

Fun grind

[glad pike]

Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. Just let them rage, I guess. Maybe they never get over it. Just do you and let them be the ones staying up at night fuming

[silver parcel]

i might not actually need her now, will have to check next run

[little violet]

I been working on the borleth crystal

[glad pike]

PS Autogrind w/ your Monaveen. Cheaper repairs and accomplishes the same task

[split dagger]

after it was clear they had no intention of following our "incursion understanding"... we did exactly that... i just brought up the situation here to get feedback

[little violet]

I also don't have the metreon on

Running into an issue with the fusion rods

[split dagger]

you can autogrind with a ship that you don't need ship xp? pretty sure it doesn't work that way

[glad pike]

Gotcha. Well, you know my feedback, rofl. Sorry you had to deal with that. Maybe they'll be better by next Incursion

[glad pike]

Oh. I only autogrind Texas hostiles. Haven't used hostiles for XP in... 4y. Always just throw lat at it

[split dagger]

i doubt it... but when those guys reach my threshold... all bets are off

[split dagger]

texas space is a great place to autogrind for those who can't autogrind in regular faction space... manual grind is eclipse and higher systems

[glad pike]

Yeah, TX would be great for XP. Never thought of it like that, but you're totally right. The only reason I go there now is when an event requires it.

[split dagger]

glad i was able to share good info

[little violet]

Texas actually don't give good xp ... Depending on what ships can autogrind at which levels

[glad pike]

I'd share it with my alliance, but I'm sure they'd all be "We know Panda. Not everyone throws lat at XP." 😄

[little violet]

starting to swim in trit .. I might have to start exchanging

[silver parcel]

add a 0 to that and that's what i spent on sunday's incursion

maybe 1t on repairs, rest on upgrades, lol

[glad pike]

Impressive

[little violet]

I don't really have any more upgrades. I have my entd and rot maxed

Maybe start working on the sanctus again after research is maxed

[silver parcel]

get a deridex, heh

[split dagger]

the numbers of rss and mats is no longer impressive... it's essentially understanding exponential increase along a graph

[little violet]

I could probably max a Dderix today 😛

[silver parcel]

they need to add cosmic particles back in pinnacle at 65

only research i have left besides g6 now

[little violet]

I think the next spend event I am going to finish 64

[split dagger]

raw intelligence is what i need more of

[glad pike]

Speaking of 65, does your hazard mining daily autocomplete when you complete normal mining?

[little violet]

Does it give you raw and faction intel now ?

[silver parcel]

no

[split dagger]

yes... but i need more

[glad pike]

Did it ever?

[silver parcel]

law of the intelligence i need

[little violet]

To be honest that change is great for folks who need it

[silver parcel]

not for me, but i heard some folks it did

[little violet]

As you can tell I used all my mutiphasics trying to max my ent 🤣

[glad pike]

Ok, interesting. I had it all through 65, but it reverted to hazard at 66. I'd love to know what connects all those that have that happened. Another 65 in my alliance has the bug too

[silver parcel]

one of my guys was having it complete mining in the 65 silent zone

[little violet]

Thankfully silents don't upgrade anymore after 63

[glad pike]

Ohhhhh. That would be interesting if that's what it was. I haven't done anything but silent since 61. I'll have to test that tonight. Incursions threw me off

[silver parcel]

was a while ago since that bug though

[split dagger]

having the faction intelligence is great.... i spent a lot of raw intelligence to unlock klingon superhighway and almost "fed" superhighway... just need more to unlock that mission module

[opaque crescent]

question for the late g5/early g6 players… my sompek is tier 5 (in name only, no components upgraded) and i’m thinking maybe i should leave it there. it’s fine for everything pve, pvp could obviously use the extra juice, cube is already a tier behind anyway… thinking i’m better off saving the mats for epic ship ?

[glad pike]

T7

[keen merlin]

is it me or are the glitches getting worse the closer we get to midnight. I am having to reboot every ten minutes. It's like Scopely is going out of their way to make the game unplayable

[opaque crescent]

don’t have the rare parts and made dumb mistake of tiering voyager too early so hard to do jelly scrap loop atm 🥲

[glad pike]

Ouch. Well, focus on the other rep for your G6, then. Rotarran or D'D. This will free some space for Quv. That said, T5 might be enough to carry you to 60

Also, get Lorca and hit up his parts efficiency.

[split dagger]

but at least you get to play on a computer... i can no longer play on mine

[silver parcel]

i should get a lottery ticket

[little violet]

or you could just let me rub your rabbit foot 🤣

[silver parcel]

lol

[opaque crescent]

yeah i literally just got lorca from incursions 3 days ago - spent all the xp i had on him (altho will pull borg chests during tourney so can do more then). only pve i find somewhat painful atm is el aurians.

that said i could take it to t6 with what i have atm, maybe the extra tier would be worth it to increase speed of rep grind in mu

[primal stag]

Can you elaborate, looks pretty standard for a rep grinding session in MU

[silver parcel]

7 15 hr speed ups on a run is a fantastic haul

rest is really inconsequential, it's the 15 hr speed ups i'm going for while knocking out the ams

about 31m lat in speed ups today

[little violet]

At was is the requirements for 65?

To lazy to pull up stfc.space . If you remember
