[tidal edge]

So no one can tell me where to find the daily claim from the artifact, or if it's only from max lvl artifact?

[fluid kite]

it's using 13gb

[stark fjord]

hello?

[remote portal]

You get the claim at level 1 according to my players, but i didnt ask where it is

[remote portal]

Is what crazy, the rep?

[tidal edge]

i have it unlocked but cant find it anywhere even after restarts, could you please ask them and let me know ❤️

[stark fjord]

yes did you see what I said ^^^^

[remote portal]

I get more in MU but this is pretty good

[solemn plaza]

No thats like 20mins in MU.

[rapid hill]

Gifts

[stark fjord]

um not for me I get like 200m per run in mu

@stark fjord

[stark fjord]

so server 701 is first place in flashpoint and server 706 is dead last server 16 is 98/114

[silver parcel]

300 rare directives have gone out, make sure to collect them

[hidden python]

300 free rare directives, bit late I don't see many servers completing IMS 3 even with that.

[hot wave]

looks like now the epics don't spawn, do you know if that was intentional?

[silver parcel]

limitations have caused it, it will be addressed by the next run

[hidden python]

I'd love to see if they'll share the data on Tuesday with how many servers actually did it and what it cost them $$$

[stuck blade]

https://stfc.wtf/flashpoint

[pliant vapor]

Rare directives! Now I'll finally be able to take out these epic 45's, oh wait.... 😑

[hidden python]

Utter failure, I hope whoever justified that milestone is demoted to never run an arc again 😅

[shut shoal]

they fixed the rare spawning

[hidden python]

Funny my server is rank 3 and that score still makes me laugh

[dawn hearth]

anyone able to advise what is in the compensation pack I have waiting in gifts? 90% of the time opening those errors out, so curious what is inside

[exotic kraken]

Three starts for the new rares

[pliant vapor]

In my server all 45's are still epic. Higher ones are rare but can't do anything to those

[silver parcel]

intended due to the limited way they can spawn epics atm

it will be addressed with the next run

[remote portal]

Speaking as the server currently in 2nd we spent the first 36 hours yelling at everyone not to spend their directives YET and even that only helped a tiny bit 😅

[stark fjord]

when will they update the officer buckets in the event store?

I need to get mirror uhura and seska

[pliant vapor]

Yay.

[stark fjord]

but I am not doing areans for mirror uhura and for seska the relitivity will take forever

[exotic kraken]

Seska is easily gotten

[stark fjord]

100 days?

its like tier 5 releitivty I think?

[exotic kraken]

You just have to run group Kren Armadas and Solo Kren Armadas as well

[tidal edge]

Now only rares are spawning, where do epics spawn? 🤣

[hidden python]

I nearly have a T3 Seska and I only have a T5 Relativity

[tidal edge]

theu messed that up now?

[silver parcel]

45 system

[round shale]

is there a reward for the flashpoint grind beyond the event store currency?

[exotic kraken]

Then get aquire from dti faction store

[tidal edge]

only lvl 45?

what about lvl 66 ones?

[hidden python]

More story I guess?

[rocky escarp]

Even with gift, event not done. 😂

[shut shoal]

So IMS stage 3 is impossible with only rares especially...

[ornate wharf]

Thank you @heady moon we appreciate you!

[exotic kraken]

Thank you <@&509690795536941056>

[stark fjord]

but I would need to hit 20x level 54 krenium IE or level 58s which is impossible

[tidal edge]

There is now an issue where epics arent spawning i just did 7 rares and no epic spawned in for lvl 66 system

no system has epics now

why is it so hard to code half rare half epic?

[silver parcel]

The epics are in the 45 system, due to the limitations on how they spawn. It will be addressed next run.

[normal elm]

is this for 40+?

[west fox]

so are there any lvl 45 rares then?

[tidal edge]

but what good is that, terrible loot, terrible sms points.

[exotic kraken]

It’s fun to learn new things

[subtle vortex]

How are you supposed to do the SMS if it's limited?

[shut shoal]

They really need to simplify the spawning to just be a specific number of each type in a system and hard code the spots to reduce the issues we constantly have with all types of armadas.

[hidden python]

Whats that classic quote. If things weren't tested....

[tidal edge]

what are you talking about, that's to difficult

[exotic kraken]

Have fun everyone and things are tested. I promise you.

[tidal edge]

@silver parcel so you want me to do lvl 45 armada, that give no points for my sms, give 100 loot in its chest, and no points for the damage slb?

[oak basin]

" it's an eco arc " ?

[tidal edge]

is that some type of joke?

[exotic kraken]

Most likely

Strange new worlds premieres on July 17 on Paramount+

[hidden python]

It has been poorly planned so far, so checks out

[subtle vortex]

The grind in PT 1 and 2 are forgiveable, making pt3 just so difficult due to lack of directives, ridiculous spawning problems just makes the whole event a laughing stock. What is the point?

[exotic kraken]

https://tenor.com/view/star-trek-captain-pike-you-are-very-important-to-me-important-to-me-special-to-me-gif-4760409645361458384

I just realised I could do reltivity resarch so I did a few 🤪

increased my warp range

[oak basin]

https://tenor.com/view/hold-please-saturday-night-live-hold-placing-you-on-hold-one-second-gif-23824909

[tidal edge]

@heady moon Do a favour and pass on the message that the armada spawning issue is still there, now they've done the opposite with only rares in the system and no epics. Fix needed before end of events, or extend the timer on the events.

[stark fjord]

and othjer buffs

[exotic kraken]

https://tenor.com/view/sup-hi-hey-checkin-in-hello-gif-11254682721021219380

Until next time

[stark fjord]

I am going to try level 52 see how well I do against krenium IE

[oak basin]

https://tenor.com/view/please-hold-nope-dont-like-gif-25735045

[dull mason]

Which system has the bigger Delta system's node's,
I forgotten

[stark latch]

3 rare starts....really! With the 1 in the battlepass I would need to kill 5 level 70 rares to finish the event. I am shy 2. And we know I can not kill a 70 much less a 66. I might be able to do a 63 but even then, that is 13 total armadas. You are 10 rare starts shy!

This is the worst arc. And after all my daily turn ins...I habe gotten a total of 0....0 directives for either rare or epic!

[dull mason]

Sadly they need cash 😒

[stark fjord]

my strongest ship and my tier 2 relitivity couldnt finsih a level 52 charged the reltivity got destoryed and my other ship barley got scratched is that mean I am not putting out enough damage per second?

[dull mason]

Research
And Crew
Do these...... D'oh

[stark latch]

Maybe if they didnt allow players to cheat and steal form them, they would not be in trouble.

[stark fjord]

how do increase dps?

[hidden python]

The amount of dodgy packs I know players have claimed is silly in just the last couple months

[slate patio]

It’s a new Scopely pyramid scheme. You (the non-spending whale - apologies if you are), must complete menial tasks so the top tier can rake in the rewards..

[silent snow]

Why are there only rares and no epics?

[tidal edge]

Good question, I’ve just been hounding them on that

The answer is

There is, lvl 45 ones only

[stark fjord]

why is no one anwsering my question?

[hidden python]

Here

[silent snow]

So is the loot adjusted?

[tidal edge]

I’m ops 69, but far from a whale, mostly bps with the occasional ship unlock, I grind hard but even this arc is just beyond bad, first you mess up the spawning rates, put out a “fix” then that fix makes epics not spawn. They literally just flipped the bug around

and expect me to go waste my directives on a bloody lvl 45

[hidden python]

Scopley following suite of most game developers nowadays and releasing unfinish content that is being rushed

[arctic star]

Anybody seen a rare so I can start one?

[silent snow]

They just need to gift stage 3 at this point

[shut shoal]

yeah they're all rare now

[arctic star]

This time rare had a double meaning I guess

[pine phoenix]

Unbelievable they still pushing forward with the broken trashpoint
Where is our money for beta testing this bs ?

[dull mason]

You don't read them

[whole robin]

<@&509690795536941056> now there's like no epic invading entities instead of no rares... Why can't you just set x amount of each per system

2 epics 6 rares per system sounds good

[tidal edge]

^ and if they instant respawn where’s the struggle in enough going around for everyone, not like a surplus of directives anyway

[solemn plaza]

Most likely because people spent months answering your questions for you to totally ignore what was being said, then having temper tantrums saying its your game and you can play the way you want to.

Should make yourself familiar with "The boy who cried wolf" story.

[whole robin]

[gentle raft]

Tell me more about this ' boy ' ... 😉

[stark fjord]

can someone look at this battlelog I have no clue why I didnt win https://spocks.club/battlelog/?bl=63f3dfc1-f214-41fb-bef8-f6e16b50a628

[shy hamlet]

given the officers i do and don't see proc'ing, and the proc rate of the ones there... that's probably a significant factor

[jaunty holly]

#🛠-known-issues message so what does g6 do that needs to kill 60+ to get the rewards to do the chest pulls?

<@&509691205798592532>

[heavy ermine]

You hit the 50 round limit @stark fjord

When you hit 50 rounds on those the battle stops and you get a partial

[terse mortar]

very wrong crews

[stark fjord]

can someone share there level 52 battlelog as and ops 59ish and simuar crews to mine and see what is different?

[dull mason]

That's like using a blender to heat water for coffee 🤣🤣

[solemn plaza]

Don't give him ideas.

[terse mortar]

pic 1 , strongest ship , second ship and it doesnt have to be the rela
@stark fjord

[gentle raft]

That works. But it takes a few minutes.

[half plume]

Anyone figured out where to find the krenim invasion entites for the day 4 tasks on crucible?

[dull mason]

Ha ha🤣

[jaunty holly]

cool cool cool

[shy hamlet]

around Nivara

[dull mason]

Delta quadrant

[gentle raft]

Ya know I just come here to chat with ya ..

[dull mason]

Lucky me 😆 I'm Login out soon 😴🛏️ the game is giving me a great opportunity to sleep early 😂

[stark fjord]

ok going to try with that crew but on my below decks I only have 4 slots on my crozier and 2 slots on my relitivity

[hollow vessel]

Does anyone know what the "Gold Rush event" refers to

[silver parcel]

ims 4

[serene wraith]

Based upon how bad this run was- why would the player base believe the next run would be better? Stop using us to beta test these events - designers and testers need to actually consider how they would work before releasing them to us. Actually test with realistic builds - not maxed ones.

Events need to entice us to engage with good rewards - this event has just driven away engagement with relentless grinding, milestones that are way too high, massive lag and defects in the coding.

Combined with the lack of <@&509690795536941056> engagement regarding all the problems - this has been a damaging arc for the players confidence in the game.

[stark fjord]

omg I won

but my relitivity still died

[jaunty holly]

dont forget that g6 is screwed now, and cant pull the epic event chests at 125 credits per kill when we need millions

[river orchid]

what's the optimal crewing for the Hurak Invading Entities?

[jaunty holly]

invasion crews

[dull mason]

Another great idea,
Get experienced player's on test duty

[jaunty holly]

they pay me in packs and i might actually consider applying for beta

[stark fjord]

here is the battle log for that win https://spocks.club/battlelog/?bl=b98a1eb2-281d-4992-806c-986da5352e84

[little violet]

They don't wanna pay testers.... They want volunteers

[silent snow]

So you guys sold epic directives to us so we can complete these events, and now we can’t use them. The 45 epic does nothing for me at level 70.

[dull mason]

Technically your only allowed one Link per day

[stark fjord]

who me ?

I thought that was for content creator links not game links or other game related content

[pale moth]

<@&509690795536941056> so the solution to "No rare Hurak spawning" is ...more rare Hurak directives? is that correct?

[stark fjord]

but is that much better with the right crew?

This game is horrible trash today

[twilit lintel]

is this a slap in the face? NOBODYU WANTS RARE

WE WANT EPIC

[little violet]

I mean I was happy withthe rare 😄

[twilit lintel]

i alrdy have 500 rare

[narrow isle]

Failed 2 solo waves because of “no connection” issues and I’m connected thru WiFi.🤦🏻‍♂️

[twilit lintel]

not like my ship can even beat a flashpoint mada

[worldly token]

if ther eno fix to the epic they need to comp the 50k tokens which is part 3 and part 4

[little violet]

I tried a 63 epic.. GOt my rear handed to me

All ground up in a little baggy

[twilit lintel]

maybe we gonna get a ne ship like the uss rev for the flashpoint mada lol]

[little violet]

Not buying it 😛

[worldly token]

new ship should probly be nsea miner/combat

[jaunty holly]

the new ship is level 70 ops whale ship

[worldly token]

keep in mind were still missing the research tree

[dull mason]

I hope not,
I don't have s31 or reliant as it is
They can 💨🤭

[twilit lintel]

i dont have that ship

but i'm close to gettin the gs

[little violet]

You know what is sad... I don't even notice a difference in impulse without kirk on

[dull mason]

Scopley
Stop resetting my extended ZOOM

[minor furnace]

I am pretty well stacked in pve, and I am having trouble with 63 rares and epics. I feel you man

[twilit lintel]

csnt wait to get this i really need ship parts

[minor furnace]

I am letting the armadas go for now since there is no mathematical possibility for me to finish phase 3, let alone my server. Gonna pool that resource for the future

[stark fjord]

so is that crew eariler for the KIE the same as for the flashpoint IEs?

[twilit lintel]

@dull mason

[dull mason]

I'm more excited to get a second meridian, 👍🏼

[twilit lintel]

transogen is the new iso barn lol

iso is old news

[vast fern]

This is bogus. I can't go to 63 with a mats spend like this

[minor furnace]

Then hold.

[kindred briar]

thatgs31 is a good ship. gots nx01 warp range fast

[minor furnace]

Best you can do right now.

[kindred briar]

n a shield

[dull mason]

I'm not going to that system

[twilit lintel]

i bet they gonna add something or transogen in the terr refinary tab lol

[kindred briar]

iso cascade or iso... iso cascade will never die as long as crit is a thing

[twilit lintel]

not that kinda iso

iso u mine

[kindred briar]

ah

selkie!!!

[twilit lintel]

lol

[minor furnace]

Heh.

[twilit lintel]

wish i had thatb ship

[kindred briar]

selkie is the way to mine iso

i chased it hard pre arc

61 hard

[twilit lintel]

but can it mine trans

[little violet]

Why mine iso when exborg give you enough for a week

[minor furnace]

Yes.

Quite a bit.

[twilit lintel]

fast?

[kindred briar]

... now i feel like an azz..

[twilit lintel]

naw u good

s happens

[stark fjord]

why is there no battlelog sharing channel?

[kindred briar]

my g5 doesnt do anything towards spend

[twilit lintel]

cuz scopley only cares about money

[kindred briar]

newly g6 cannot source uc yet

[dull mason]

My New building is L4
And I can't get enough for refining

[little violet]

I will have ops 69 started in a bit 🪂

[twilit lintel]

see if u was doing ur task ur be ok

[kindred briar]

it raises very fast the mining rate. chase it chase it hard

[twilit lintel]

mine is 10 without spending money

[kindred briar]

isogen complex!!!

mines 11 i bought the paid track

12

[twilit lintel]

transisogen ship

[minor furnace]

Not a bad start, but improves over time.

[little violet]

Mine is 16 and only bought the pass

$20

[kindred briar]

but you exchanged some!!!

parts

[dull mason]

We have player's killing everyone's hostiles, and they are getting Angry about it, and ship's don't mine enough before they mysteriously Pop

[little violet]

this dust 💩 never drops... bs

[kindred briar]

ya that hazard is what decided it... strongest long grinder is vindicator

thats the exchange i grab them piecewise its still like 65parts for forge 11upgrade so

n you randomly get gifts in there keep an eye on your 'claim' box as you rush it

[little violet]

Vindicator is so slow to tier

[twilit lintel]

i need

[minor furnace]

It is not that big compared to the building bonuses.

[dull mason]

The same

[unreal root]

why is the nsea hazard protection uselss in the new 'hazard' systems?

[solemn plaza]

Scotty is the best of the new officers.

[minor furnace]

Below deck is where that Klingon belongs.

[twilit lintel]

cuz its only fo mu

[solemn plaza]

Different type of hazard.

[jaunty holly]

It's a different 'style' of hazard

[unreal root]

do scopely have a ux designer?

[twilit lintel]

i almost have him

[jaunty holly]

This is the 5th? Hazard type now

[jaunty holly]

Clearly not

[kindred briar]

the universal hazard protection only needs 20% uo to system 62

[unreal root]

can they put some of the billions of profit to a competant ux dev

[twilit lintel]

also need this

[dull mason]

He's the New mäkenen

[stark fjord]

I dont know how people are hitting there level even the right crew the flashpoint hostiles the best I can hit is like 2 level 54s

[jaunty holly]

They can move the servers off AWS and build a server farm.

[minor furnace]

Btw.. do we have screens on the daily bonuses from said artifacts?

[unreal root]

they test on maxed ops 70 accounts and use chatgpt to scale down without testing pepelaugh

[solemn plaza]

6th

[kindred briar]

those new artifacts are in the isogen refinery

i get mines today

[jaunty holly]

I claimed the chests, but they didn't pop for me to screen grab them, they went pop out.

[pallid saffron]

How are we expected to finish the entity event with no epics?

[kindred briar]

ill check the store before i claim n share over yonder

[minor furnace]

Could always use some more sigma. Started my push to 66

[jaunty holly]

Oh ho ho ho, they are up, in the 46 system.

[kindred briar]

the store you can see whats in ft tier up chests i assume its the same for those claim chests

[pallid saffron]

Yeah level 45 are 600 points

Useless for me when I need 20,000 points

[jaunty holly]

The chests are in the daily chest claims. I tried to look and it just did the fly out when I hit claim.

[kindred briar]

ya i got webstore/mission key claim in an open tab

3 unopened ft claims cause they got trial bells

[jaunty holly]

Lemme check

[solemn plaza]

Because people didnt rush ops to the same extent you did and have ops appropriate Ships/Research/Artifacts/FC/CT/FT/Crews.

[unreal root]

whered they put the level 43 or 44 rare armadas? lol

[kindred briar]

ty sir.. not huge but the daily drip is kinda big

[unreal root]

they were in the 46 system

[minor furnace]

Good to see the speedups.

[jaunty holly]

This is level 1 artifacts, they apparently get better with tiers.

[kindred briar]

that was my next question again ty

[jaunty holly]

It was 4 days of pulls to get tier 1, looks to be the same for t2

[stark fjord]

well if you gave me 100m of each type g5 of mats and rarity, 50m of each type of faction credits 1 billion latnium then I would be fine

[kindred briar]

took a table flip break earlier when ims 3 started. it looks alot calmer now

[jaunty holly]

We only have 1k of the 10k needed.

we got the whales on 95 theyll bite the bait eventually

Or, you could slow down your insane pace of Ops upgrading, and actually work on catching up everything to your current lvl.

[kindred briar]

i got 3 directives in claim n 2 from ealier its in reach the sms

[jaunty holly]

...its worse than i thought

we gotta be ready for halloween ops 71!!!(my guess)

[jaunty holly]

62 in the oven... made 61 prelaunch hours

[lusty olive]

You are not playing. T7 should be minimum ftp

With bp, 16

[kindred briar]

not spending as much time on screen you mean!!!

bah humbug

[lusty olive]

It doesn’t take much effort

[kindred briar]

not when you are used to the effort it takes

but ya this game requires alot of scheduling

[jaunty holly]

Back in my day we spent 16 hours a day in borg token to level our Vi'Dar

[kindred briar]

n support active support from support team

[dull mason]

I'm only just passed Bp8

[lusty olive]

The whole IMs/sms is another story. The building itself is not much effort at all

[lusty olive]

I mean buying the 20 buck pack

[jaunty holly]

2 packs and the building is at 49, and im done spending. The iso bonus is nice.

im waiting on the extra arc pack... this is one of those arcs we'll get it 4of 6 had extra arc rewards so far? 3 or 4 this year

[lusty olive]

It won’t. Unless a few alliances spend thousands on directives

[kindred briar]

we just need a few to buy the ship on our server then we'll get server notice

[jaunty holly]

$99 for 10 directives on epics that drop 125 tickets per kill when I need 38m to pull the 3 chest? Big brain move scopely

[unreal root]

almost complete the IMS guys

[jaunty holly]

If by almost you mean 25%

[wind mortar]

@heady moon Were you referencing the current Cosmic Choice SLB with this comment or is there an SLB with an officer from the current Arc coming up in the near future? This change in format without communication from Devs feels like a rug pull and that's not a nice feeling.

[jaunty holly]

Any remember the first run of 'march of progress' and how much of a fail that was? This event is 10x worse.

[lusty olive]

I’m brain dead on them. But almost there

[jaunty holly]

server MVPS for the first two IMS

[lusty olive]

But everyone who has a chance to do their sms3 and 4 should do so. Waiting on IMs 3 ias a waste of time this run. Ain’t happening. Maybe next run. Maybe next month

[jaunty holly]

20bil and 14bil points, my condolences.

[unreal root]

this game is not balanced at the lower mid end

[jaunty holly]

agreed, get your SMS done

[lusty olive]

It’s unfair for many. Especially ops 60`s. They are hosed

[jaunty holly]

im saving my epic directives for the next run

no way im spending directives for 125 event currency

scopely can fly a kite

i was thinking about saving for the fleet preset, meh

[lyric flare]

Yeah seems insane we’re at 126 points and need 8400 lol that’s just crazy

[jaunty holly]

they even doubled the points

and we are at 311

[somber cave]

https://stfc.wtf/flashpoint if you want to take a peak how other servers are doing and it is not looking good in generel😅

75 servers completet stage 2 right now

same here, usually i have to restard and it works again, also the disconnect usually happens on different times on different acconts, this time all disconnected simultanously

[jaunty holly]

knowing cid, its probably maxed

[willow flax]

Got kicked out and can't log back in, anyone else?

Good to know I am not alone with that, so it's the game(like usual) 🙈

Scopely, pay your server bill 😤

[pastel ibex]

Ah servers down

[jaunty holly]

Cid is the only one in the world with the ship currently.

[merry edge]

There are 7 of the ship 🙂

4 in US 2 in EU 1 in APAC

[minor furnace]

Who has them in the EU

[jaunty holly]

Then his is probably the highest tier

Next compensation gift around the corner 🤣

[merry edge]

Highest ive seen so far yeah

which one?

there is like 10 they are behind on

[slow isle]

the one for (some?) euro servers being dead right now

[solemn plaza]

Thats on the premise that the 7 people who won their RLBs can actually build the ship.
Would be kinda awkward and funny if they won a ship they cant even build.

[opal plover]

Has @everyone gotten their territory event battlepass done? new season starting soon!

Got questions and want to be better in STFC? Well come on let's chat!

ALSO

Giving away $100 for a pack purchase tonight courtesy of @d... !! Will be one hour after stream start! (8PM CST)

https://twitch.tv/revdeuce

[slow isle]

Yeah, you need a maxxed G6 epic as well to build it, would be funny indeed

[solemn plaza]

Doesnt need to be maxed. (Unless they changed the prerequisites)

[merry edge]

🤣 Oh yeah thats true

[slow isle]

oh, I just assumed t12 or so would be maxxed

[jaunty holly]

g6 ships go to 18

[merry edge]

Aside from Vengeance. Thats back to t15

and the 63s and the miners.

[jaunty holly]

g6 rare and epic ships*

[slow isle]

ah okay, good to know

[jaunty holly]

am lowly pleb

[merry edge]

Selkie t12
63s t15
66s t18
68 miners t15
70s t18. XD

[slow isle]

Wonder if they'll drop the next one next month already 🙈

[lusty olive]

The vengeance is most definitely the ISS jelly 2.0. G7 will own it 😂

[slow isle]

Ah at least the euro servers are back now

[lusty olive]

Biggest money grab/heist Scopley ever pulled off

[slow isle]

and they'll do it again

[tacit shard]

of course they will

[merry edge]

🤣 If they wouldnt have put it as auction only ship maybe would have gotten more out of it.
The slb was pretty tame

[broken mulch]

https://tenor.com/view/hell-yea-baby-damn-right-gif-21574723

[jaunty holly]

what was the SLB?

[merry edge]

mine was 760m score. the other eu something about 400-500m

which is about t9-16 of an epic roughly

not by going rare ship parts. just by mats

and lots of the score came from syndicate packs

[solemn plaza]

760mill in just rare mats?

[jaunty holly]

so it was a spend SLB?

im never getting the ship, lol

[slow isle]

wasn't it even a RSLB?

[solemn plaza]

It was weird.

"only" g6 rare mats and "Only" g6 rare ship parts

[solemn plaza]

Was only rare mats too.

[merry edge]

😆 I didnt even bother with it. I was just watchin it

Just for comparison.
To build the ship had to be 1st inRSLB and finish the SMS.
The SMS needed about 14 packs minimum. prob 15.

[kindred briar]

thats my dom🧟

[pallid saffron]

Was over 1 billion for the one on my server.

[narrow isle]

Did they change the way Armada’s work?

Armadas we use to destroy with loot crews with ease, are being “Partial” complete than usual.🤔🤦🏻‍♂️

[static hazel]

some have a round limitation. they can be easy, but if you fail to kill them within X Rounds they finish with partial. So you lack damage

[narrow isle]

Hmmm. We had no issues previously, now with the SAME group this arc, we fall behind in dmg then? We haven’t changed anything and built up ships since then,🤔🤔🤷🏻‍♂️

Game has been Scopely’d I guess

[static hazel]

have you changed below decks?

[narrow isle]

Nope. Same setup, same crews.

[static hazel]

Fleet Commander or TC Service?

[narrow isle]

Nope. Nothing changed and everything the same. Idk. The game as been meh lately.

Probably time to leave the game for awhile again.

I’ve been back into some ESO with the new subclassing and looking to play some Edge of Fate this week when it drops.👍🏼

[jade stream]

whats the best crew for the new vangard? are this like enteties?

[crimson lintel]

… so… six more months of THIS?

[crimson lintel]

I believe it is, yes, so DeMarco, Toli etc

[jade stream]

thanks

[whole robin]

so I powered up my ship and this amount is still ludicrous... 200 kills if I'm punching up 2 ops levels

punching up more than that is impossible because they gated the hostiles so they kill you if you don't kill them in 1 round

[kindred briar]

they are entities 5of11 demarco n someone else.... dajash dajash 5 demarco!!!

[whole robin]

https://tenor.com/bzio4.gif

[kindred briar]

5 dajash

[whole robin]

how I see scopely right now

[kindred briar]

ytytytytyytty

thats mee needing final sms

ims

i know how to copy n paste those stickers not how to find n link them though

[exotic kraken]

Good night galaxy

[kindred briar]

is your ims lost too

have a good rest

[misty island]

your rewards are sent, restart to see, compensation is on way, grind your ar.ses off guys to high heavn

[twilit lintel]

https://tenor.com/view/art-beach-sparkle-water-sky-gif-6908414888149999358

[frank pike]

So, with the only epics now being 45s, how is scoring for the sms going to be handled for people who need quite high points and a 45 epic gives peanuts?

[solid kayak]

theres no winning without giving scopely money

[misty island]

https://tenor.com/view/bran-grinding-grind-gif-15963763

[solid kayak]

i mean thank goodness stff was tested am i right everyone?

can they enter store to buy packs? answer yes then the game works just fine.

[remote portal]

That and that the ridiculous IMS milestones assume we're doing epics...

[magic glen]

scopely devs

https://tenor.com/view/spaceballs-funny-sorry-sir-doing-my-best-gif-12052920

[frank pike]

From a programmer standpoint, this is what really annoys me about this dev team and tells me they aren’t that good….. they never think past the initial layer of “fixing” something and think about downstream effects.

[lofty linden]

You could have stopped at think....

[remote portal]

I assume it's the same root cause Tiger has spoken about before, the people who design features and the ones who decide how much stuff we are provided to do the events are totally separate teams 🤦🏻‍♀️

[lofty linden]

So are you trying to tell me you don't like the "New Unintended Features?"

[remote portal]

As an engineer, that's not even the worst thing. This game feels like a case study in why you need to do design and architecture 😅

[frank pike]

In this case it’s not even that.

“Fixing” the armada spawns by making one low level system the only epic system creates multiple downstream changes that affect scoring for people on the sms and ims. Just…. Basic logic should slap one of them across the face and make them go “but, wait, this will create X, y, and z problems”

[frank pike]

I know a lot of engineers, this game would make them drink….. then when they were done drinking, draw up a dozen ways to unbleep, then drink again because they know it would all be ignored.

[remote portal]

Hi, that's me you're describing 😅

[frank pike]

You should go listen to the bob-iverse audiobooks forthwith.

Last engineer friend I introduced them to finished the series in a week because the problem solving was “like a window into my drunken nerd soul”

[remote portal]

Every new feature breaks lots of unrelated stuff that wasn't regression tested, so I don't think analyzing downstream effects is a priority...

And yes, I've read them.

These are problems that can be fixed, that's why it's so frustrating

[frank pike]

I’m still pretty sure they have no centralized build they all work off of, with updates forwarded to the arc groups.

We were told a couple years ago they can have multiple arc teams going at once, and even different teams working on the next steps of an arc with little or no idea of how the previous part of the arc actually sets things up to work.

There is no master/central control or czar or cabal (all terms different game studios have used for a central authority ensuring compatibility and shared focus) overseeing anything

[remote portal]

Which is why you need an architecture that's scalable to help you add new features 😂

[remote thunder]

<@&509691205798592532> So how are we supposed to finish the SMS stage 3 If only rare Hurak Vanguards are spawning?

[remote portal]

And they don't, which is why patches frequently get left out of future releases

[frank pike]

There is one system of epics….. and they are all 45s

[remote thunder]

yeah for less points then a 60 rare

and less loot

[frank pike]

Hence the nerd talk back and forth you see above regarding the dev team

Let’s face it…. https://tenor.com/duJfub1ByfE.gif

[shut shoal]

I mean if you have any chance of finishing at all it is based of incredible luck on your hostile pulls. literally incredible luck. or buying directive packs I guess

[frank pike]

This is the stfc code

[remote portal]

A lot of it seems like Conway's law, which is that the structure of the product mimics the organization that produces it. So any inefficiency in how the teams communicate/coordinate will usually manifest in the delivered item.
They realize that a roadmap is something they should have, but they seem to be missing the technical component of one that plans out how those features will integrate together. A roadmap is more than a list of ideas, it's a plan.
And I mean this all constructively, I honestly want to see them do better

[frank pike]

At one point we all did, problem is I increasingly think we all need to face the fact we are what’s left on the other side of the trust thermocline collapse point. One of the reasons I’ve stopped spending outside of the occasional gift card I get through work for the past year.

[remote portal]

It's at least cathartic to say it out loud though 😅

[frank pike]

We have people on our server who have opened triple exchanges three times now, 0 directives to show for it. The comp chest were their first directives.

The gambling crap needs to go, give a set amount guaranteed, THEN have bonus chances for extra.

[remote portal]

Even the Fatu Krey stuff gives you a guarantee of half a start...

I thought that was bad (objectively it still is) but this is many times worse

[frank pike]

But, like I said the other day, Scopely coding on the gambling chance stuff wouldn’t pass Nevada gaming inspections

[timid current]

this arc is trash and i have a suggestion. All of these new mechanics, new ships new grinds are getting to be too much. I am hearing from MULTIPLE PEOPLE in my alliance that is getting fed up with these complicated/time consuming and spending required arcs/grinds. Scopley, please take heed. I might suggest a "take it easy" arc with some good paying events that allow us to catch our breaths and recover for a month. I have had to talk at least 2 people out of quitting the game. For Your Consideration. @heady moon

[jade anvil]

if i run 2 exocomps, same bonus 2 different slots, will they stack?

[timid current]

no

[jade anvil]

how about 2 different % for same thing, like research?

[timid current]

in that way, yes

game wont let you put the exact same exo in 2 slots. but if they are different but for the same effect, just different numbers, yes, those stack

[jade anvil]

so a 15% and a 70% woukd stack?

[timid current]

yes

[jade anvil]

thank you sir

[timid current]

np

[elder plover]

So SMS is impossible, with once again Armada Spawn glitches.

My question is does the Stage 3 IMS also become essentially impossible? I think it looks realistically not possible due to spawn errors; but am curious if others think they can still complete the Server IMS.

[merry gale]

This is the best screen in this game. It pops up more often than the game lately!

Love the preparing in the bottom right corner that's endless

[solid sparrow]

It’d be impossible even without the spawn issues imo.

They’ll have some data to examine for the next run of this, and they’ll have to make sure the person choosing the milestones isn’t as high as they clearly were this time. 😆

[remote portal]

Hahaha nope
Nobody is completing this at 1 pt per rare https://stfc.wtf/flashpoint

[shut flame]

Is there any g5 space reds that drop USS beaty bp?

[remote thunder]

It's possible if G6 players waste directives on level 46 epics and lower ops can finish their SMS

[remote portal]

Faction store only AFAIK https://scopely.helpshift.com/hc/en/19-star-trek-fleet-command/faq/7087-shipyard-level-51---60/

[remote portal]

Most of the g4 playersI know are taking 2 tries per rare and those are the ones that can kill them at all

[remote thunder]

my ops 56 completed stage 3 with 2 epic 45s and 8 rare 50s

@heady moon Customer service is not comping those that did not get directives from the Targ chest

[shut flame]

Dang ok

[sturdy quiver]

@queen jolt why are the g4 players made to do the new solos? We can’t beat the dam things it’s a total waste of time… I’m one of the strong ops46 players on my server and I can’t kill one of the vanguards no matter what crews I use… also why the heck are the whole 40-50ops now in the slbs together ? Talk about keep moving the goal posts… who ever wrote this arc should be dragged into the carpark and beaten frankly it’s another pile of garbage…

[steel oxide]

I just want to see the Playbook responsible for making this game worse every update

[whole robin]

has there been any CM content on the invading entities? when they 'fixed' the rares they broke the epics lol

I haven't seen an epic in the 66 system all day since their fix went up 😐

[granite crow]

epics have been moved to the 46 system

for now

[steel oxide]

just took me 3 restarts and 5mins to claim a 10min chest

[frank pike]

It’s a children’s scrap book with pages alternating pressed bugs,lizards, and the occasional poo with interspersed drawrings of cool cars and boats.

https://tenor.com/2Kau.gif

[whole robin]

epics of all levels? 🤔

[frank pike]

LOLNO

[alpine lance]

So as a ops51 with gets only 5* common from refinery, both the spend event and the boldogy go event wants 5* UC (or higher) to be spent. I was planning on finishing up my G4 epics, but 0 points on the spend event or scoreboard. I gotta be missing something, there is no way they took away g3/g4 spending on mat spend e vents, right? RIGHT?

[whole robin]

... then how am I supposed to get SMS/loot from the epics

let me check the 64 system I guess

cuz 66 is all rare

68 is empty

nope 64 is all rares too

how are g6 players supposed to do epics

62 empty

[granite crow]

we didn't say it was a perfect solution.........when they reset the rares, it wiped out all the epics, so the dedicated one system for epics

[whole robin]

[frank pike]

https://tenor.com/b0gIS.gif

[whole robin]

so they took an already broken event and broke it in a different way

[granite crow]

featureized it

[whole robin]

now g5 and g6 players can't get any epic loot

not enough for a turn in

[granite crow]

at this point i will save turn in for next iteration

[frank pike]

This event is a steaming pile, poorly planned, directives rely too heavily on broken and skewed gambling mechanics, and the fixes applied to problems never look past the first immediate effect, leaving all kinds of problems downstream that just build up and make it worse.

Toss in the widely hated crucible event and this arc is off to a year of hell worthy start

[whole robin]

ya I am going to finish my SMS 😐

any leftover dirs I will save

[granite crow]

definately saving my directives, there isn't any server that is going to get past tier 3

[muted basalt]

Yeah not possible

[granite crow]

BTW hiya Phelan........im from 702, fun incursion last time

[muted basalt]

This whole thing is impressively inept.

[shut flame]

Hm nothcut still sucks

[granite crow]

well brand new event style........i guess we call this the alpha run

[whole robin]

👋

[granite crow]

northcutt becomes ok at lvl 60..........heheh

[opal meadow]

https://youtu.be/WkL7Fkigfn8?si=TFxHfDK2S0byAawd

[arctic flint]

Crucible is such a tease event. Can't get the final points

[shut flame]

I also wish my cube was better but it's stuck here till I get northcut bro tier 6

[granite crow]

the tease was that you had the "opportunity" to buy scotty not get scotty...........hehe

[sturdy quiver]

Event that asks you to do just a bit more events than you can actually gain directives for in the time period.. the Christmas one was good this one is another pile of turd like every thing in the last 4 months

[frank pike]

The Christmas one literally dumped all over people who didn’t buy the revenant, among other problems, to the point they had to go back and add a bunch of bonus points so people could even get close to finishing.

[vocal kindle]

well we know that wont happen for 6 months at minimum since this is a 6 month run

[vocal kindle]

why not? it was actually pretty easy

[native hornet]

Wow thanks

I’d have killed for a free jelly when it was useful lol

[arctic flint]

Directives dried up, elite solos not possible, and a few other spend mat issues (have the mats but no ship, bldg, or research to spend on)

[gentle raft]

Every event it's the same thing. Last month, this month, next month ...

[crystal dock]

Serious question was their fix for entity spawning issue just to make epics not spawn or am I imagining this

[late ermine]

Yea they turn all the epic in to rare no people don't see epic now lol

[blissful wigeon]

3 days in a row I've got 0 hurak directives from the refinery pulls - 80% chance eh? 😒

[weary mango]

that's way too low

[weary mango]

scrap it then scrap the entA and then buildanother entD

[late ermine]

1 ent A gives nearly enough parts for 3 ent d 😂

[weary mango]

depends on your efficiency

mines enuf for 2 I think lol

[late ermine]

2 or close to 3 kinda same since the higher you have efficiency the more diminishing return you get

Still can never have enough 😂 more always better

[weary mango]

with scrapping I guess more ents make sense

[gentle fossil]

Lol, I'm ops lvl 42 and need to defeat a 45 rare Armada 🤣
This Arc is so horrible, literally unplayable

[weary mango]

event I assume being the arc event? I wouldn't know cuz I'm skipping this month's events😂

too grindy

[sturdy quiver]

most of the ops50s on my server couldn't beat one.. at 42 you have zero chance

[gentle fossil]

I kind of figured, how bad can an Arc be...
I said it before, revert the changes of the arc and fix it first.

[weary mango]

it's catered to g5+ I guess and even then g5 still has issues with the events I think😂

[crystal dock]

Scopley really missed the marc on this arc

[weary mango]

you know it's bad when all the low g6 players need to farm in the same system as the higher g5 players

[shy hamlet]

my ent is better at farming drop ships than my g6r

though there's certainly no g5 players in that system except, like, sevik

[weary mango]

I had to farm at 58 earlier this week before getting the rot. 61-63 were in that system😂

[shy hamlet]

need to try again with my cube though

[weary mango]

do it

also my cube can use sigma stuff now

or I need sigma stuff to upgrade to t14 parts

should I do it🤔

[shy hamlet]

if you spend sigma on it the repairs will cost sigma

[shy hamlet]

decided to test auto grinding in the 66 system for the 6* rare loot

works, I just need more hazard res

[snow remnant]

so if I read the announcement correctly, the epics are only in that one system? but since they're way smaller vanguards wont that hurt my scoring in the sms? or do they score as higher ones?

[silver parcel]

they score like the scorecard says they do

[fallow sage]

Why is this even a thing? Lol

2 days for the server to do 13,530 notmadas?

A server pop of 1000 would only be able to manage like 5000 points max lol

[minor furnace]

It is mathmatically impossible for my server due to population, unless people spend thousands.

[snow remnant]

I get that, but on my server theres no epics in the 60 zone unlike a day or two ago. and the announcement said the epics are now in the 46 system but in the 46 system theres only level 45 epics. im just trying to figure out if the 60s are in a different system now that they arent in the 60 system. or if the scoring of 45s was changed cause theres zero point in me doing a 45. thats like 1/5th the points of a 60

[static idol]

How many servers are going to complete stage 3? No chance on 109, and even if we did by some miracle it won’t leave time for stage 4.

Don’t mind a challenge, but we were set up to fail here

[tranquil siren]

What crews are people using verses the drop ship? I am struggling

[opaque pilot]

Gone for 3 years, kinda a wish I stayed not playing, this ark is the worst, I'd rather do more WOK events at least those were doable at my level xD

[sturdy quiver]

half the players on my server can't even kill a L46 vanguard... no way we are completing it

[serene drum]

Fix da 💩💩💩💩 game it's gonna be to heavy for a mobile 📱 game. Continuously game is shut down because of the 💩💩 content... but who am I scamely don't listen to there players.....

[silver parcel]

there aren't any other epics atm

[opaque pilot]

it's broken of course you won't get what is needed they can't fix it

[heavy ermine]

It's become pretty clear that game design didn't expect anyone to finish the 3rd SMS....just move on

[fathom lagoon]

When is territory reset?

[opaque pilot]

less than 2 days i believe

[fathom lagoon]

I thought that was just the battlepass event

[opal meadow]

EPIC fail? 😂

[snow remnant]

so now my only epic start i have nets me less than a rare 60 and most likely have no way of completing the sms. if there was a 60 epic im pretty sure i would of completed it with upcoming pulls.

[snow remnant]

The best crew for me ive found is Pike Moreau Annorax BD: Borgh Hugh chapel WOK joachim Harry Kim Belanna Torres Neelix Tom Paris. The chronodeflector CT seems to help as well to keep the shields up

[random garden]

Anyone else wish they had done more with this ship ? The look of it I love, I wish it was not relegated to the dock its entire life. It deseved so much more then that.

[weary mango]

buy more👀

[opaque pilot]

One would think they coincide given this is the end of the season as according to some minor research it states every 3 months with april being the last start at midmonth, add may, june, july that makes 3 months. I could be wrong so someone can correct me if so

Also no exact start date has been given just that there is a new one with the new arc

[dusky cove]

Sure seems like scopely is actively sabotaging this arc, ironic but unsurprising they'd ruin their own "living universe" attempted hype to p ush more sales

[broken mulch]

[opaque pilot]

too much goes into marketing and pushing arcs before they are ready and thoroughly thought out. They don't care about the fan base just their income 😉

But aren't we all in this day and government age le sigh

However if you give people things that seem like they can accomplish and feel passionate about, they might say no to that second vacation instead of a second job which is what the game feels like

Also I think they forget people like to eat to survive while also having a positive outlet

[undone carbon]

is scopley even working on that Ship cannot change course thing

[opaque pilot]

I feel privileged that I was able to send my son to space camp for less than 1k and that took some shuffling of what should we invest or save but will I kill his dreams? Heck to nah man

Maybe instead of paid support they can offer players cheaper packages like they do moderators to help get through such a huge backlog of user support concerns...? idk don't kick me xD

[broken mulch]

Thanks to Scopely some kid could have a future job at SpaceX as a child test pilot, just to pay for some parent's $99 pack addiction.

[solid kayak]

dont forget you gotta also finish ims 4 for gold rush then who knows how long for that section. so not 2 days

[opaque pilot]

xD he hates spaceX nasa kid through and through. His grandfather served in the Air force but fell ill with lung cancer before he could be accepted into their program

nasa>spacex anyday

And if he's anything like me, ap classes and ROTC

[jagged valley]

What is ops 47 like ops bracket with what ops does ops 47 compete in events

[broken mulch]

Good for him, I hope enjoys a wonderful career!

[opaque pilot]

Thank you. He is really proud of himself! As am I!

[opaque pilot]

Couldn't tell ya, Ops 42 fresh here, went from 29 to 42 in less than 2 months, many regrets xD

the ships are shiny tho...

[upbeat olive]

who can explain the mechanics of obtaining tokens to closed systems with Trans materials?

[opaque pilot]

From what I've seen your Transogen facility must be lvl 45 to get those closed systems tokens whcih you can obtain by paying $200+ of course

which even

at that's just to lvl 42 idk what it would take to auto fully updated beyond lvl 42

to be fully*

Seeing that they don’t plan to fix this run of the evens, can anyone really be bothered with it again! The rewards aren’t even worth it!!

Guys is the boldly go event available to lvl 32 in apac , cuz i didnt see it at all

[warm venture]

after a massive grind to get 2 single pulls of the house hurak targ tag exchange and getting 0 rare and 0 epic directives.... I just ignore these events....and if they don't change anything for the other 2 runs, they will be ignored as well

[snow remnant]

oh and another thing did scopely ever say why the slb this weekend is only g6 mats to score for g6 players? I was planning on finishing my enterprise but i guess not.

[white moon]

Did you have to like update your game for the boldly go events to appear , because i didn't even see the boldly go event tab in my events

[lusty olive]

I don’t know when it becomes available. Sorry. Someone oust know

[white moon]

It said it was from July 7th to July 12th

Because it neveer appeared for me

[static idol]

I literally has a countdown of hostiles led to hit in our alliance, even took it to GC to get it done fast enough to give time for the last two stages. What a waste of time!!

[lusty olive]

Off the top of my head, I would say 34 or 36 🤷🏻‍♂️

[dusky cove]

And keep in mind they're trying to convince us to engage 2 more times in this "event" this month

[lusty olive]

Don’t forget the next 5 months after

[white moon]

thats my name lol

[dusky cove]

Yeah I know, seems like after this arc it'll likely be sarris event 2.0 with all its flaws ramped up to 11 and nothing learned from it

[lusty olive]

They’ll throw in a few tournaments a month and cancel these occasionally 😀

[broken mulch]

This entire event should engaged the same way one does with a baby's diaper, holding your nose and disposing of it. 🙂

[white moon]

Yall could you please help , I am ops 32 and im in APAC Servers , and i didnt see the boldly go events appear at all

[opaque pilot]

👶 💩 🦨 🤮

[lusty olive]

It’s a weekend. Someone will answer you shortly hopefully

[opaque pilot]

ops 40+ new ship for lvl 70 only

[white moon]

Not the ship , the TOS scotty

[dusky cove]

You don't see an "engage" event next to the gift chest icon? Maybe it's level locked 😦

[opaque pilot]

Idk if he can be earned with any other recruit form other than the Boldy go event which is ops 40+ only and it sucks so don't feel bad i can't even kill a Hurak hostile

[white moon]

none

[dusky cove]

I was skeptical (it's scopely after all) but curious about what they'd do with their "living universe" idea but it's just a trash combination of sarris invasion (except that one has no problem with grinding loot), augment (way overtuned mobs) and some other loops all designed to sell an NSEA/voyager style ship next month. It really seems they took all the most frustrating parts of some loops, threw out what redeeming qualities they had and seem intent on claiming (or at least trying to convince us) it's somehow good

[opaque pilot]

I've earned half the points so far for the event. not too worried about the rest as I can't kill kremlin or polygons

Heck mining the trellium was a duck of a time

[old palm]

where can I find rare Hurak Vanguard ?

[opaque pilot]

Unless you have a ship that can kill 400mil power you're screwed

[opaque pilot]

Starting at Wyte

[opaque pilot]

Epics are in the Beta nerra

If you have the gorn you should be able to uncover all the systems within warp range easily to show the new locations

[dusky cove]

This is quite telling, seems 0 servers will finish stage 3

[opaque pilot]

I think it's a test to see how much people will actually pay which isn't as much as they had hoped/expected

scopely=failed

[fallow sage]

Does the ripper pc mod have a damage per round read out? Or are combat logs all i got lol

[warm venture]

battle logs are all you get ingame, but on PC you can export them and upload them to spocks.club which calculated dmg/round

[opaque pilot]

There are mods??? I wish I knew that xD I love mods for the sims I even create cc for them

[old palm]

How ?

[warm venture]

Click this button on top to export them as a csv file on your device

and on spocks club go to battlelogs to upload them

[lusty olive]

We need that on iPads

I hate having to go to pc if I really want one

[opal meadow]

So look at this description, it almost hints that if you can't achieve this milestone by reaching stage 4 of the IMs, you can't access those systems anymore to kill the hostiles or mine

[opaque pilot]

The only way is to pay $$$$$$$

[lusty olive]

https://tenor.com/view/counting-money-paper-stacks-gif-9918098029500472876

[opal meadow]

That's strongly hint if a server can't get past stage three of the IMS, you're cut off from those systems, the problem is my server has tons of active people, but everyone blew their directives before we hit stage three of the IMS. They didn't even bother to read anything

[opaque pilot]

I can troll on fb for free. which after watching my gc is the only thing that happens. As a positive troll myself xD it's confusing but I don't make it hateful is all i mean

[opaque pilot]

They think people will pay more, which they won't. No new news there

Even terraria a once 8-bit game has more income on pc .. that tells ya something

[opal meadow]

There's a news article on this game how they rake in about $10 million a month

They make a killing on this game

[opaque pilot]

Yeah paid by paramount xD

for advertisement

[opal meadow]

Nope

That's what they make off the Apple, Google and Web store, from the players

[opaque pilot]

IDK don't shoot meh lol I don't pay for most games

[opal meadow]

Yeah they make a killing on this game which is why it it's just completely crazy they can't hire people to fix the bugs

[broken mulch]

They make more on Monopoly Go by leagues.

[opaque pilot]

Star trek online makes more doesn't it?

[opal meadow]

I doubt that game has people shelling out hundreds of thousands of dollars a year from a single player like they do here

[opaque pilot]

Idk I stopped playing almost all games besides eq2 and the sims

[broken mulch]

Quantity of customer vs. "quality" of customer.

[opal meadow]

I'd have to see some kind of income statement for that game. I'd be shocked if it actually could match $10 million a month.

OK I'm wrong and you're right, I just looked it up, Monopoly go grosses them 200 million a month

[opaque pilot]

The Sims franchise has generated over $5 billion in revenue, according to Fortune. The Sims 4 alone has generated over $1 billion in revenue, according to EA. The Sims 4 also reached 85 million players worldwide across all platforms as of May 2024, including 31 million players gained since going free-to-play in October 2022. In fiscal year 2022, EA reported GAAP net revenue of approximately $7 billion. And they have constant bugged releases

[opal meadow]

That's crazy.

[broken mulch]

https://www.businessofapps.com/data/monopoly-go-statistics/

[viscid fern]

They way I read that, is the mining should of been locked out at the start of the Flashpoint and we gain access to it by completing IMS 3. Now we know that wasnt the case, but given the bugs we've had with this who knows if that was intended or not.

[broken mulch]

$1.34 billion in 2024

$100m a month vs 10m a month

[opal meadow]

Yeah that's probably where they put all of their efforts into

[opaque pilot]

More than sims 4 this year xD but of course you have the idjits who do illegal downloads. We despise those ones

They might actually make more if it wasn't a daily buy but an extension buy

Packs, kits and so on

Scopely subscriptions sounds tollerable

ooo illteration

[oak basin]

https://tenor.com/view/alestorm-pirate-peter-dinklage-gif-25561456

[dusky cove]

Sorry but no, that is obviously a part of it but when 0 servers have finished the third stage and zero servers are even on track to finish it than there is a clear design issue

[opal meadow]

Just because there's technical issues, that may not prevent the bad ending from happening which is why people are screaming at them to auto complete stage three for everyone since the invading entities are broken

[oak basin]

there's only a design issue if it's not functioning as intended

annoying players is intended functionality

ergo it's designed fine

[opal meadow]

Yep if it's intended to block your mining if you fail, that is not a design issue

[dusky cove]

Agreed, seems an intended failure state

[opaque pilot]

more like server issues. 076 constant hate/war

no one gets along, throw excursions, etc.

[opal meadow]

To be honest, they should've blocked PvP in those systems during the flashpoint events

[dusky cove]

I'm not talking about technical issues, to me this seems a designed failure which makes me wonder what they intend to change if they expect people to engage the next time

[opal meadow]

So if you were in that system, and targeted a player, the attack button would be greyed out

[opaque pilot]

also more like* scopely is also an issue yes

[opal meadow]

Oh no it's a good design issue "pay attention and do the IMS, or you get screwed" that's going to be very good motivation once people find out they can't mine until the next event run

[opaque pilot]

New players don't stand a chance.

Or returning

[oak basin]

last time they ran an event like this, there was a similar issue. the answer is 'they change nothing because their target audience will engage with the cash store which is all they care about'

[opal meadow]

I was gone for two years, and I just came back in April, and I have to punch down seven or eight hostile levels on all of these, and it's almost impossible for me to hit the milestones

[opaque pilot]

I am an example. I left for 3 years for personal reasons. and came back, server drama was at an all time high and no one gets along

[oak basin]

did you accidentally return to barny's server? that sounds like barny's server

[opaque pilot]

I am at 780 pnts with new boldy go event after 4/5 days

server 076

[opal meadow]

Boldly ago was easy for me. I finished everything by day three, and then just kicked back and collected them as they unlocked

[dusky cove]

Again, I disagree. Obviously I agree that people need to learn to read events and i'm one of the people who tried to spread that message but that doesn't mean there aren't issues with this arc (and they can certainly be by design). Seeing the current scoring "people should read" alone won't fix it. I read all the events and engaged as much as I can and I have zero hope of finishing the third SMS

[opaque pilot]

My highest ship is just now 22mil power from WOK event store

The NSEA

[opal meadow]

Yes but you can't finish it due to technical issues and terrible milestones. The terrible milestones are design issue though, but what I'm talking about is the failure mechanic is not a design issue. That's intended.

[opaque pilot]

Lvl 42, and no one is helping so I've had to help myself and freeplayer

well my alliance is awesome so it's not them. If I need an armada they can't start, they do

But no one has so much disposable income

We have lives and worldly problems, not meant to solve theirs

[dusky cove]

And as I said before it can certainly be an intended failure but that doesn't mean I can't view it as a design issue so to a degree I think we're talking about two different things. I can and do certainly agree it's an intended failure but that doesn't mean I don't view it as a design issue as I view it as lazy and demotivating

[opal meadow]

A design issue is basically a bug or a ux failure. For example, the scoring is working properly, but it's designed poorly, and people either can't meet, or struggle to meet, milestones . That's a design failure.

The overall failure mechanic is probably going to work properly, and it's completely intended. So that's not a design issue anyway you cut it. You may not like it, but it's not a design issue.

You may not like the failure mechanic, but that doesn't mean it's a design issue

[split lark]

i have the same problems, can't defeat the level 45 Hurak vanguards with my OPS43

[opaque pilot]

But scopelys new vid saying only certain people/servers will receive higher rewards... kind of a fail. https://www.youtube.com/embed/D5F2KftdMp4?si=gpM2IglUU_Zhc052 fail or pass they said themselves

What is the showdown????

I'm a mom. I hate surprises

xD

Surprises mean ants in the microwave and I can't... never again

[dusky cove]

That's because you're using a different definition than I am. If a new feature/loop/game or product fails to properly resonate with the intended customers you're free to say that was the intended design but it's still failing to engage the customers so at best that's a "task failed successfully"

[dusky cove]

Which is a bad idea as far as I'm concerned but as it's currently looking 0 servers will finish it

[opal meadow]

There's no special rewards that one server can get that others can't. They're all obtainable. What that video means is that some servers may fail the events while others won't

[opaque pilot]

Agreed, they'll have to adjust their expectations

[opal meadow]

Most servers aren't finishing it due to a technical problem, and the fact that a lot of people got their SMS to stage three, and concentrated on the invading entities SLB, and ignored the IMS

So they burned all their directives before their server hit stage three when they should've held off doing the SMS in the SLB until the server was at stage three

So servers are failing due to a combination of technical issues and failing to follow the event directions properly

However, the developers really didn't make it clear to the player base how important the IMS is to complete

[dusky cove]

And again, I certainly am not saying players shouldn't read things more but if 0% of servers meet your goal perhaps there's an issue with the approach even if you want to debate if that's an issue of communication/transparancy, technical issues or whatever

[opaque pilot]

Yeah our alliance lost a lot thinking they could score in events vs the boldy go where you can earn rewards even when the next day was not unlocked

[opal meadow]

And that's hard to judge with all of the technical issues with the invading entities. So is it more of players didn't follow directions, more of a technical issue, or more of the events weren't clear what to concentrate on

[dusky cove]

Because "oh look at the awesome rewards for winning" doesn't really work if there's no server to show the benefit of winning/engaging

[opaque pilot]

flashpoint events*

[opal meadow]

Oh no.... I only knew because I did something that got me credit for day five, and I spread the word

[dusky cove]

Which to me isn't too relevant as it's undoubtedly a combination of all those things. What matters to me is that if 0% of servers meet the goal than scopely made an error or intended ALL of us to fail. You can certainly argue that players played a role but at some point scopely should face some heat for choices they (didn't) make

[opaque pilot]

Day five territories... easy peasy xD

We had someone do a venomous puncture during waves... not goingn well xD

not like it hurt but they are headbutters special delight

Helmet most likely required

[opal meadow]

Oh I agree. I know for a fact that the technical issues are problem, and I know for a fact that the milestones were ridiculous – especially for G5 and G6 players. They really need to step back reevaluate and rebalance this entire event before it's run again.

So basically they have to

1. Fix the tech issues
2. Rebalance the milestones/scoring
3. Make it very clear to the player base how important certain things are in the event to do in a specific order

[dusky cove]

Agreed, now the question is "can/will they do that in time" which I'm uncertain about. I also feel they'll need to make a gesture to the playerbase since I imagine all servers failing will hardly motivate people to even try a second time

[opaque pilot]

5 days too late

[opal meadow]

They won't do that in time. One of the announcements already hinted that they aren't fixing the invading entities until the next run

"Due to limitations on spawning, the epic hurak are only in Beta Nerra (level 46) system now, while the rare hurak are spawning again elsewhere. This will be addressed with the next run of the event."

[opaque pilot]

Maybe scopely shouldn't be so criptic, most players are old a senile obv

[vocal kindle]

what are the pull rates of the transogen dust? ive done 3 max pulls now and havent got any. how will we ever unlock the warp drives if we cant ever get anything to unlock them

[opaque pilot]

and nolt a

[opal meadow]

That above statement in the known issues channel hint that they aren't going to get it fixed for this run of the event

[dusky cove]

Oh yeah I know it won't be fixed this time in combination with a Q&A where I'm sure they'll blame us for failing. The question'll be is if it's fixed before the second run

[opaque pilot]

not. keyboard sensitivity

[opal meadow]

It should be. It sounds like they tried to change a configuration file to fix it and it didn't work. So it might need a programmer to change/fix some code. I'm pretty sure it'll be working for the next event.

[dusky cove]

Not like it's hard to make this server event a lot more doable. Looking at our servers IMS it would boil down to every single player running 8-10 rares and 1-2 epics and even if nobody had spent directives before stage 3 the directives just aren't there

[vocal kindle]

not to mention the epics are only in 46 system now so they are basically worthless

[dusky cove]

Number tweaking is a necessary part of the adjustments

[vocal kindle]

and 90% of people cant hit armadas at their ops level

[opaque pilot]

Scopely either needs to accept their failure otherwise

or adjust accordingly

There is no other option

[vocal kindle]

the hostile for g6 are insanely hard, im a very strong 62 and i can kill 1 62 hostile, i have to sit in the 60 or below system

i can get the rare 60 armada if im fully buffed, takes about 1/4 hull

[opaque pilot]

I know more about the game than most lvl 69/70\s do, they constantly ask in alliance chat what is new, because they do not care

Do higher lvls want to carry an entire server? No

[vocal kindle]

the amount of money they would have to spend to carry the server is more than most are willing to spend, and i dont blame them.

[opaque pilot]

No rewards are good enough for that

ducking eh they don't

[vocal kindle]

@opaque pilot have you recieved and transogen dust from your pulls?

[dusky cove]

I'm uncertain they could even run enough armadas between now and the end of the IMS even if they wanted to

[opaque pilot]

I'm lvl 42 the most dust I've gotten is 200..

can't defeat Huraks either

[lusty olive]

Many ignored stage 3 of the IMS and went and did their sms stage 3 asap. Nobody can fault them. Due to how bad the spawns were/are, they have no choice but to knock it out asap. Because nobody knows if they will break again.

It’s not like the IMS is doable anyway

[opaque pilot]

Also can't do polygons, or any othe invading entities

other*

076 is 265 pnts from the first milesone in the stage 3 ims with 1 day and 6 hrs to go

[lusty olive]

That’s doable maybe

[vocal kindle]

S31 is 1192 pts away from first milestone

[opaque pilot]

except the server can't get along, they throw incursions xD

I wish I could move to another server without starting over

Now that, I'd pay $99.99 for

[vocal kindle]

incursions are a joke and the rewards arent worth the effort, s31 has won 2 and they were both against s20

[lusty olive]

We are 106 points from our milestone 1

[waxen ledge]

our server is at 275 points... 919 from first milestone... its so not happening for us. i cant even get through the sms... im about halfway, and no way to get enough directives

[opaque pilot]

Brsngr ain't that right xD

[opaque pilot]

Don't feel bad, you are not alone

Almost all servers haven't hit that mark

-almost

xD

[waxen ledge]

oh no doubt. I just dont understand how they can throw this arc out now... after all the griping we did about the time sink... they came out with IA and that helped... and now after the wok arc and this ark, its taking more time than it did before IA came out

[vocal kindle]

stfc . pro shows 701 is the higherst at 16% completed for ims 3

[opaque pilot]

Because they'd thought it would make people pay more to either get to lvl 70 which would mean a lift on lvl cap or because thye are greedy

[waxen ledge]

we knew the greedy part lol

[vocal kindle]

WOK is a small time to max out, once you guys get the reliant you will be done with that entire thing in a couple months

[waxen ledge]

and i still suspect g7 before the end of the year.

[opaque pilot]

xD

[waxen ledge]

i have the reliant... and i have enough stuff for the refinery for a while... but it still took alot of time to grind to this point

[vocal kindle]

i mean they just gave the new g7 ship

not going to disagree about the reliant, that first month was rough but after that it was super easy. the only thing that it will be used for is some officer sourcing

[waxen ledge]

im still upgrading mine... got a ways to go... but i can through it out for an hour and bring home enough stuff for a while.

[opaque pilot]

I don't have a reliant xD is it good?

[waxen ledge]

still have to grind the epic stuff though... reliant isnt big enough for those hostiles yet

[vocal kindle]

its only good for autogrinding the wok loop

[opaque pilot]

so ehhhh

[vocal kindle]

not worth spending the money on honestly but i always buy the ships

[opaque pilot]

I'd never spend money on this game.

[waxen ledge]

i typically unlock the ship... to ease the grind some... and then grind it out to upgrade it

[opaque pilot]

Until they have something worth paying for that is

[light rock]

Scopely thanks you for your business

[waxen ledge]

i never buy upgrade packs for the ships

[vocal kindle]

same

[opaque pilot]

All the ships I've gotten... free

[vocal kindle]

yeah, if it wasnt for the people that buy the ships and spend money on other stuff this game would be dead and gone

[opaque pilot]

I did pay for the building and research extra's 4 years ago which was $40

[light rock]

You say that likes it a bad thing? 🤣

[opaque pilot]

nothing since

[spice nexus]

Especially when even the top server can't get through a quarter of the 3rd stage

[waxen ledge]

ive bought quite a bit..... but spread over the life of the game it averages out to about $50/month

[vocal kindle]

yeah i already said that like 5 mins ago @spice nexus

[spice nexus]

ah, righto 👍

[light rock]

I normay buy the £20 battlepass but nothing more than that, no other packs have long-term value to me

[vocal kindle]

which is why a lot of people are upset with this arc, i actually liked WOK, it was fun trying to find new crews to use on them, but this one is a joke and its 6 months long

[light rock]

WoK was good, it was a grind but the rewards were worth it, I got Khan and Joachim unlocked in first few weeks. This month, terrible rewards for an even worse grind, so no thanks

[vocal kindle]

i agree, i spent on khan (wish i would have waited) but hes already maxed and so is joachim, really there is very little thats needed from that refinery anymore

[covert oyster]

Who at scopely decided that to get to ops57 you need to upgrade the armada center and that it would require doing armadas till your dead and not give an efficiency for it

And that it would need so many cores

[vocal kindle]

youre about 5 years late on that complaint

[light rock]

Frustrate you to make you spend, its the model

[raven geyser]

My server (125) recently had a merge and has a high number of players.. The vast majority kept their armada directives and still we have 0 chance of completion for stage 3

[spice nexus]

Better yet, the ACC only goes up to level 50 and all those cores you have are worth nothing

[covert oyster]

Yea I played for about 6 months stopped then came back

[vocal kindle]

regretting that decision? if i could stop i would but its like a drug

[covert oyster]

Not to bad just the unnecessary amount of cores irritates me

[vocal kindle]

the funny thing is, at some point you have enough armada loot to do pulls forever and then end up with an abundance of dirs, and you wont have any issue with cores

[covert oyster]

Now I know most people frown on giving scopely money but is there any downside besides dropping $400 for the core to get caught up

[vocal kindle]

that said if i were you i would find the biggest you can solo and do some of those by yourself for loot instead of trying to ride the coattails of bigs who take all the loot

personally i would not do that, its not worth it, the cores come at a decent rate as long as you are pulling every chance they come up. also lets you get maxed at your current level before pressing

[spice nexus]

YES, don't waste money on cores for god sakes

[covert oyster]

Yea but the directives

And I thought about the rare armadas and epics myself

[spice nexus]

The strategy is to punch up and get help from alliance members to maximise your loot, use a loot crew also

[covert oyster]

My alliance is very good about setting it up so I get most of the rewards

[spice nexus]

Yes, keep doing that

[vocal kindle]

thats actually not the best strategy, because the bigger players steal all the loot

[covert oyster]

Still working on that plus the research for extra armada drops but need to send my veen out for more grinding

[spice nexus]

You only need as much power as is needed to defeat the armada, if he's running 60s he only needs support from a couple g5 UC ships, if that

[vocal kindle]

armada loot is based on power, except the starter box, if you have 10% of the power you only get 10% of the loot.

[spice nexus]

What's your strongest faction ship mate?

[covert oyster]

Well my tally is not really a faction ship per se but it’s 90 mil my ent a is about 88

[vocal kindle]

the best thing you can do if you are starting them is to find the biggest ones you can solo and do them yourself. at least to get loot, then you can run more to help the alliance later

[terse mortar]

sometimes @dreamy canyon kicks me out of the alliance just to raid me when i go to sleep and invites me back in the morning

[deft niche]

Dont forget you can also get cores from one of the faction stores and gifts > away teams.

[vocal kindle]

oh yeah, away teams has it in there now and so does s31 faction

[crude osprey]

Is this the final boss in borg polygon armadas?

[dreamy canyon]

If I could do that I would....apart from the invite back in part....

[opal meadow]

There are 1.2 ones

[warm venture]

I guess its about the borg type 3 spawning ontop of the polygon (or vise versa 😅 )

[opal meadow]

Oooooo lol

[peak sedge]

So I have enough epic directives to finish the SMS event, but with them only spawning in the 46 system they're too low for me (ops68)so give meaingful points towards my SMS goals...not impressed.

[terse mortar]

keep them for the next event

[peak sedge]

What's that phrase...screw with me once, shame on you. Screw with me twice, shame on me.

[pine phoenix]

So only big cash players and scop devs can finish stage 3
Great event design
Congratulations on most incompetent arc ever

Current event 👆🏼

[pine phoenix]

So only pay 99$ per event is the way to play stfc ?

[uneven delta]

Wow this game is spiraling fast.

[pine phoenix]

Can't wait for the North Korean propaganda show called Q&A 😂

[peak sedge]

"Players told us they wanted more grind events. You're all welcome"

[ashen walrus]

"how have you managed to produce such an awesome game?"
"well, comrade, thanks for asking..."

[waxen ledge]

Hey now, you shouldn't speak of the Scopley overlords like that 😂

[pine phoenix]

Anyone played diablo immortal ?
Scop will get worse

[oak basin]

" look, comrade, observe the greed of the capitalist pigdogs as they charge 99.99 for half an armada's worth of tokens, see the fuelling of the anger of the playertariat "

[split storm]

General Question.

Is Every single server, required to score the same for this event? or did Scopley actually Scale the points to how active the server actually is?

As i did the math for mine, Epic Aramdas for this event, at 4 points per armada 1 point for rare we need roughly 4000 Armadas, add in the realistic amount of actual active players on my server, this just aint possible, even if you max pull every day, and get the luckiest pull every time, there just aint enough directives to do it. I saved everyone of my directives until we unlocked stage 3. ive only contributed 44 of the 10.5k points needed.

[pine phoenix]

Server have different milestone target
How they set it ?
By pure hate to make people suffer
We have just reached stage 3 on our server and we scoplayed on the armadas

[split storm]

this is how dead my server is

[pine phoenix]

We have 79 🤣

[terse mortar]

400 🥳

[split storm]

honestly, the only way to do this, PACKS PACKS PACKS. Its a whale event ro rinse money

[ashen walrus]

"How have you managed to produce a game that involves so much maths and so many spreadsheets to understand it, yet not have it make people tear their hair out in frustration?"
"this is a good question, comrade, thanks for asking. We like to make it more complicated than a maths degree because it attracts a more cerebral type of player, and not one who just flips switches randomly until something works"

[terse mortar]

remember battlestar gallactica online ? remember the official servers closed and somehow the server files leaked - one programmer took them , and since this day - battlestar gallactica has private server running much more profitable and better than the official ? can we do this ?

[crude phoenix]

prob everyone blew their directives when they hit their personal milestones 😛

[split storm]

We would like to also inform you that 1,5,10, 20 and all the other %s are in fact, a new math.

10% does infact mean anywhere between .0001% and the true 10% but, we will change this math depending on how we feel.

[split storm]

All of mine didnt even finish my own Event nvm the servers

[pine phoenix]

I blame for trashpoint everyone who did the survey
You all asked for more grinding more mining more armadas more new currencies and everything 10x harder to do
Thx a lot 😂

[main dove]

Only one server in the EU is over 10% on that IMS, it's the milestones that are the problem not your server.

[fading belfry]

my server has 8.4k for stage 3 and we may just make the first milestone. all the bugs aside, I pull max on the targ chest and have yet to get a single epic dir and I'm not alone in that. I've decided not to waste what dirs I have left at this point. we went to a lot of trouble for stage 1 and 2. I won't make that mistake again. the effort/cost vs. the rewards is the worst I've seen. if they keep the hazards in the pre-g6 systems and don't add hazard research for all ops levels, they can count me out. lol. the repairs are too expensive and the rewards are less then meh

[split storm]

Correct, by my server is also, in desperate need of a merge.

[hallow moss]

Afternoon my beloved STFC Addicts👋

To the moderators ... Is there a list of officers whose abilities have been changed, let's say in the last 6months?

[ashen walrus]

Personally I'm hoping for six more specialist miners, each of which is only available if you complete a task that runs for two days every five years. Well, unless you want to buy them at the very cheap price of 99whatevers and 99 per tier

[dense fractal]

Sort ur heads out waves deliberate lag cost me 3 attempts already

[terse mortar]

you get disconnected and have to restart your game at certain levels ? 🙂 new way of making the game more difficult

if they get disconected and fail their solo waves , they will have to buy directives

[lime laurel]

more having this problem ?

[silver parcel]

add the prime.exe as an exception to your antivirus software

[pastel knot]

this is my very active server, after an merger.

[warm pivot]

IMS stage 3:
given the fact that its mostly rares with only 1 point... and people trying to find their maximum while wasting a few...
yeah, maybe better saving up directives for 1 certain push on the last IMS... if only there was no deal damage SLB baiting people to waste their directives. ^^

[arctic iris]

im guessing the Nova building has no effect on this transogen forge?

[waxen ledge]

if you click where it says special buildings, it will tell you which ones it works on

[arctic iris]

ah cheers

[lime laurel]

thx it worked, never had this problem before

[serene drum]

The whole flash event is a disaster.. and the following arc also... scamely have doing a great job to peep up the game...... im doing only the dailey and them im done... the promised quality they said in 2024 is a big slap in da face.

[arctic iris]

im waiting till the last day to see how far off i was, but i find it so odd that everything is so impossible. even all the boldly go events. never finishing all that, i dont understand why its so heroic for just 10 officer shards.

Im very active and do everything i need to ingame to make sure my chests are all max pulled and still not going to finish.

2025 the year of putting your head in Sand

[crude phoenix]

amazing how they make the non heroic SMS also spend events if u want to reach stage 4

[pastel knot]

they are all heroic, they just don't want anyone to complain more than usual, so they don't put heroic on the events

[fringe wind]

Same I’ve played since day one, spend between £20 and £100 a month on packs and 3-4 hours a day on the game. What do they want? 24/7 grind until I’m bankrupt ? Crazy

[pastel knot]

that's what they really want.

[fringe wind]

No money for any packs if I can’t work because I’m grinding x blah blah to hit y milestone

Nothing dynamic about any of this content it’s still hit random made up hostile and mine random made up resource

[crude phoenix]

another arc to completey take away any player enjoyment at the first week 😉

whoever is behind this design really needs to be sacked right away

[signal stump]

Anyone here play game on a Tablet, My phone is just not cutting it at work. Curious what a good solid Table to play on.

[serene drum]

Me mobile is going hot 🔥 🥵 and crashes....

[warm pivot]

week one was really a difficult ride to not loose faith
much to do, in many peoples eyes way too much.

[signal stump]

Not sure what they did, but I got that Comp back and I am now done with the Personal Event. Those Rare Mada's where a Pushover the Epics way way to tough

[lusty olive]

iPad is very nice

[fringe wind]

Needs to be a good tablet, my 3 year old iPad Pro is starting to grind under the strain. And needs constant restarts regardless of device I think

[warm pivot]

the only difference in rare and epic is the isodamage, once you got your isodefense at a nice level (wok joachim) you are good to go for maxloot. at least if you dont try to attempt the impossible ^^

[crude phoenix]

yeah kinda still working on getting joachim to a decent level.. some ppl didnt even finish the last arc lol

the new grinding standard is too high

[signal stump]

I got Joachim and I used him on the Rares, well the second one and it was a big difference. I have him at T1 though so I can only imagine the higher he gets the better

[warm pivot]

there is really good ways to improve your performance in this arc while grinding the previous arcs contend... dont think the average joe has done everything he can grinding out champion trophys and researching

[crude phoenix]

the rewards are quite bad too compared to the time invested

if this runs again the knowledge that u cant even complete the last two IMS or SMS just makes ppl not do em

[signal stump]

We are on the 3rd one now on our server. We shall see. I have to work here in abit so I wont beable to do much till I get back.

[lusty olive]

Stage 3 IMS ain’t happening

[signal stump]

Thanks for the advise on Tablets folks, Good luck everyone today on the Event

[lusty olive]

Milestone 2 is top imo

[lapis marten]

Definitely, the stage 3 is out of reach. Absolutely no chance of getting that done

[lusty olive]

Aren’t our missions borked now?

[crude phoenix]

stage 4 is refine isogen.. so everyone can uhh.. do it once a day.. thats unreachable probably too

unless u upgrade the building so pulls reset

wich is prob what scopely wants lol

interesting hpw the Q&A will totally ignore this fail again

think they need to relay our unfiltered question and opinions for once

[lusty olive]

The classy thing to do would have been to make the stage 3 lvl based. More points the higher the level armada

[lapis marten]

That would have made more sense. One or four points per entity isn’t enough. This is where we’re at in my server. It’s not going to happen unfortunately. I’ve started pulling my refineries for refined transogen again. No point in saving them any more since we won’t make the first milestone never mind reach stage 4

[dull mason]

My Old phone used to get so hot I couldn't hold it, l placed it on a large block of wood to cool off

[dull mason]

I don't even have him unlocked

[crude phoenix]

wonder when scopely is gonna fix the client crashes too

and oiffc the kir shara artifact.. in the new age of grinding at least their grinding tech should be working right

[frank pike]

This is one of those questions where the only answer that can be considered true enough to use is “after the rapture”

[limber wharf]

Where are those 50 epic vanguards are hiding now 😂

[remote portal]

Next run 😅 #🛠-known-issues

[limber wharf]

🤦

With limited directives and scopely ever helping rng how can we finish the sms without the epic respawn ? 🤦

[lusty olive]

Would have been priceless if the 70`s were all epics. That would have been the ultimate slap in the face

Considering nobody has done one yet to my knowledge

[crude phoenix]

lol these ship parts CE's are about as useless as scopely CM's unless u save up for months i guess

[limber wharf]

This event planning is really an milestone benchmark of how an event can be poorly planned by Scopely and it's dev

[limber wharf]

They are scape goats to get the blame from the free to play community members, the whales have a separate CM team who can really do stuffs 😄

[crude phoenix]

its al;most like they and the cm team dont even play the game

[limber wharf]

So you think their dev or testers do ? 😅

[crude phoenix]

they dont have testers

the devs say its ok to deploy

hence we have this garbage pile every month

[limber wharf]

They have a few inhouse for high level testing

[crude phoenix]

they dont test at all.. these bugs are too obvious to be me missed

how do u miss armadas not respawning

[limber wharf]

They test in a controlled environment with only limited players so it's obvious that they don't have proper setups for the broader community that's why things fail every time.

[crude phoenix]

how do u miss ships getting stuck from usage in the new systems

these are things one person can do

[limber wharf]

When load exceeds then those issues occur how could you replicate the same with just a few testers doing the blackbox testing of each unit module separately
