[timber valve]

That’s the only saving grace. The alliance I play with and that the older content keeps me busy.

[twilit lintel]

7 years and counting

[tawdry oriole]

That kind of crossed into a negative 🤷😅

[kind dragon]

How about a status update. I appreciated their recent messaging on the outpost issues then it just stopped

[buoyant scarab]

“let’s see how often we can make them click on the shiny thing and give em just Retrieving”

[fallow sorrel]

well it's worked for them for like 7 years now 😂

[twilit canyon]

I dont think they KNOW what broke raiding....b

😂I may be wrong on that but they tend to go silent when they dont know

[kind dragon]

Clearly it hasn't worked

[twilit canyon]

They will only act when their big spenders demand awnsers

[timber valve]

The detailed explanation of how test code was deployed to production for outposts was great, maybe a tad too much for most, but greatly appreciated. Frankly, most day 1 bugs they bring in are most likely deployment mishaps anyway.

[fallow sorrel]

they have survived this long and publicly disclosed rising revenue speaks for itself and they even managed to sell of the company for more value than it actually is at. sure, it's not working for them.

[gritty compass]

That's as positive as it will get. Sowwy

[twilit lintel]

their prob still working on the issure but i have done outpost and im still doing it right now and its working and scoring so maybe its a server issure?

[ashen harbor]

<@&509690795536941056> why did we change the scoring again. Punishing players who try to prepare for future runs of the event. And you go ahead and change the scoring to basically screw those players over. I am done giving scopley another dollar. Until you stop adding more useless things to the game, fix real bugs and stop putting lip stick on a pig players will continue to quit in droves. Don’t do the second month for this arc. It will only make things worse. How about fix the actual game. Add the things that have been requested and that were promised. I don’t wanna hear Connor whine and cry again either. So don’t post another video that he has no intentions of actually following through.

[twilit lintel]

i just beat this bp

[kind nexus]

So, from now on arcs are 1 part rubbish events and a second part pay to do any events?

[twilit lintel]

and pl,s change the output tokens from 10 to 200 for 51

if 53 gets 400 why cant 51 get 200

[twilit canyon]

They have been promising to fix thr game they have just made it work. STOP the new content. FIX the game THEN bring it out.

[timber valve]

Sums up my server. 1 player has made it to the new CotA SMS end in my bracket. 2 to the 3rd milestone.

[kind nexus]

And they haven't even made the ferengi store better to make it worth it for those that spend 😂😂

[queen otter]

What changed?

[twilit canyon]

They took off a LOT of scoring items

[main marten]

My desire to participate

[covert belfry]

OMG I can’t believe this 💩😂

[queen otter]

I thought they were going to put it back 🤨

[solid kayak]

were you allowed to do that?

[kind nexus]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[twilit lintel]

code over code over code creating glitches and bugs and the server or host scopley has is not a really gold one with the lag 7 years this game has been up i would have thought it would have been better by now but its slowly dying people are leaving the game because their not listening to the feedback from the players right and when is this GM guy gonna post that video he said he was going to do?

[twilit lintel]

allowed?

[buoyant scarab]

Restart and see its a plea for free user opinions.

[steep aspen]

common outpost control core had the score for recon locus, recon locus had the score for rare outpost control core, rare outpost control core had the score for common outpost control core

[timber vortex]

@heady moon what happened to the treasury? I had a day remaining to purchase it!!! But its gone

[queen otter]

If they only changed the values, it's just another spit in the face. "We hear you, but we don't care"

[cold summit]

Still not on slow mo on here which is wild!

[elder plover]

Chronicle of the Ascendant SMS milestones are impossible now, Scopley removed 90% of the currencies that scored last month, now the SMS in essentially impossible for 95% of the player base. No Thanks, you killed the Chronicle of the Ascendant event

[weary bloom]

Hang on ,I’m just RETRIEVING 😂

[round ember]

Excuse me, time to look into chargebacks.

[sharp pelican]

https://tenor.com/view/jason-mamoa-mamoa-chair-sit-down-gif-9843852

[finite hound]

ok, its time to drop this "game" then

[steep aspen]

@silver parcel anything for people that spent based on the incorrect scores?

[signal pivot]

If they don’t turn on slow mode we all blow of steam faster and won’t be as annoying HOLD THE LINE

[twilit canyon]

THIS! Agreed. Cant afford to spend thousands on thsi game to complete an event. Its virtually a pay to play event now

[kind nexus]

I couldn't score on this new SMS in any meaningful way if I wanted to, it's 2 days from a spend event I've got no sigma speedups left and 12d on a building 😂😂

Hey community manager, you aren't being paid to hide. Come out and face the music.

[heady moon]

Im not even supposed to be working today, but I'll raise the Foundations of Power scoring changes.

Don't say I never do anything for you!

[timber vortex]

Scopley upset their cashcows 💸 so now we all get milked a little more

[deep eagle]

haha a feedback survey. Really. Just read #💬-general-feedback #💬-events-feedback #👾-bug-reporting <@&509690795536941056>
Why should I provide Feedback, when I don't receive feedback on my feedback? GM Podcast was promised is not coming. Current Arc "value" is just sub-par. COTA changes seem demoralizing.

[kind dragon]

How about the outpost comp chest too while you are mesaaging

[heady moon]

Nobody's hiding! Im supposed to be off!

[spiral ginkgo]

ITS A TUESDAY

[round ember]

They'd better do something about it quickly though. It's only a 24h event and we've already had 4h of that

[heady moon]

Its VETRANS DAY! Its a holiday!

[timber vortex]

It's Veterans day

[strong hamlet]

i guess we shouldn't expect that old cota scoring buildings should come back, this is what we got?

[spiral ginkgo]

Then dont break the game before a holiday I guess

[twilit canyon]

@heady moon we really want to be able tk do the event but scopley making it pay to play is impossible. And with no warning

[heavy ermine]

Go eat your quesadillas @heady moon . It'll still be on fire when you get back.

[heady moon]

Unlikely to change for this run. But I'm raising it.

[sharp pelican]

LOL! So the news announcement that has been broken is about giving community feedback 🤣🤣🤣

[heady moon]

I didn't break it!

[glad ocean]

The CM's don't direct the game design but they get to deal with the consequences of it

[round ember]

Not everywhere has a holiday today. Most of Europe was working.

[heady moon]

Im not based in Europe!

[heavy ermine]

https://tenor.com/view/its-always-a-treat-reward-bonus-prize-a-treat-gif-15568188

@heady moon Genuinely feel sorry for you and @queen jolt having to pick up the pieces time and again

[queen otter]

Don't be rude to the CM, he's only the messenger

[cold summit]

America and shut down ?

[round ember]

Too little too late. I get it's not your fault, but you were already haemorraging players, and the changes to CotA have ripped that wound wide open.

[heady moon]

Agreed. There should have been more advance warning.

[hot dove]

SimPauly was here all day, not off on a holiday, yet he chose to ignore everyone as per usual

[deep eagle]

Well I could do it f2p if hadn't already upgraded all my khan stuff...

[silver parcel]

He wasn't ignoring everyone.

[viscid fern]

Advance warning would not change how awful the scoring on the event is now.

[west garnet]

Gods this game is running so bad right now. Two updates today. Deleted and reinstalled. Nothing is working to fix

[steep aspen]

what even can they do? resources have been spent, buildings have been built. I don't know if they even can undo that sort of thing. Not to mention anyone that might have bought a pack for the originally listed common outpost core scoring. I had been saving my cores to win one of the upgrade SLBs but when I saw it would complete my SMS I went for it, if I could go back to a level 3 outpost control center I would gladly, instead I have to worry that I blew all my chances at the frame I wanted because of false information from Scopely

[heady moon]

Yeah dude. Are you new here? SimPauly doesn't ignore people.

[kind dragon]

Latest in game message is a survey. Best way to let scopely have it is in the survey

[spiral ginkgo]

Im a simple man, the american CM throws shade at the euro CM and I'm happy

[twilit canyon]

I feel sorry for the community managers

[heady moon]

Thanks!

[spiral ginkgo]

No thank you

[glad ocean]

it's not ignoring, just can't react fact enough lol

[lavish pulsar]

i log in get kicked right back off

[silver parcel]

Every single issue that has been mentioned today has been raised internally by pauly, hammy followed up on what he could.

[round ember]

If they add in the old scoring options that have been completely removed, at least people would have a chance to complete the SMS, even if they didn't correct the scoring for spent mats

[queen otter]

@heady moon Can whoever changed the values of scorings also change the event back to normal?

[heady moon]

I would never besmirch Pauly's good name! Good day to you sir!

[deep eagle]

doing a "from:simpauly" search here on discord goes back like three pages only from today - so they have been active

[steep aspen]

all of my resources are spent, they'd have to score retroactively for what was used today and I don't think they have shown that level of sophistication with their database work

[spiral ginkgo]

Now about that comp chest you went to check on 26 hours ago

[heady moon]

but it still doesn't freel right. A lot of folks provide legit and ordered feedbeak which at least deserves an offical response. which is absent for over a week now

[twilit canyon]

It exists... but its probably something st up like 1000 rations or something

[spiral ginkgo]

I'll take 1000 rations whatever

I just need to tell my alliance its coming

[heady moon]

I pushed it along yesterday. Hope to have an update tomorrow.

[heady moon]

I 'm glad someone noticed that.

[fallow sorrel]

is there ever a right one? 😂

[twilit canyon]

Okay im done for now. Hope that SOMETHING happens cause im annoyed I cant get my officer shards now

[heady moon]

I said good day!

[deep eagle]

doesn't help if you can't spend them though

[timber sail]

It’s a real shame they wrecked that event… was a good one

[kind nexus]

Everyone liked it, they had to!

[whole robin]

so when are we gonna get Transogen Forge parts in event store?? DTI building parts have been there for some time and DTI store came out like 5-6 months before Transogen

[twilit canyon]

It was the onky event in the month I looked forward too...

[glad ocean]

It would have been wisdom after a bad arc launch to not anger the playerbase like this. There is frustration top to bottom

[arctic iris]

@silver parcel what was changed? I cleared localization and restarted but still all that score is Wrath Credits? no DTI, no acclaim?

[deep eagle]

who says anything changed?

[silver parcel]

Common and rare scoring for the building was swapped

[whole robin]

they fixed the scoring listed for the new building

acclaim and DTI Were removed

DTI I Can understand but acclaim should still score

[twilit canyon]

Its messed up. They need to either LOWER the scoring or ADD everything back in for points

[whole robin]

imagine that a heroic SMS isn't super easy to complete now 🤣

I just barely finished it with specialty buildings and wrath credits

[arctic iris]

i give up, i spent everything i got and cant even reach milestone 3

[deep eagle]

they went with DTI for several runs of that event. so the change completely unwarranted

[whole robin]

DTI faction is like 10+ months old now a lot of people have everything maxed myself included, I would just be converting DTI credits into transporter patterns

[fallow sorrel]

what ops are you? i dont see any consistency in increase or decrease of pts based on ops or item spent

[arctic iris]

60

[carmine copper]

it need every building material type . as it is a Building heroic

[arctic iris]

thats exactly what i did do the last 2 events, spent on officer shards that were max for transporter patterns

[solemn plaza]

Recon was moved to rare, rare was moved to common, common was moved to recon.

[whole robin]

I actually like the new scoring except galactic acclaim should be added back...

makes the SLB better for me

[warm venture]

Oh I think I noticed this second last bug fix! 👀

[whole robin]

a lot of that stuff I have max already

[silver parcel]

This is what was changed

[fallow sorrel]

https://tenor.com/view/angry-sigh-mix-cups-funny-gif-16993434

[peak sedge]

"CoTA Fixed" = lowered the points you get for spending new building mats?

I sure hope people didn't spend based on the original values that have been retrospectively reduced..

[steep aspen]

not everyone has been g5+ for months, removing old scoring options is just making the experience worse for newer players for no benefit to older ones

[whole robin]

the real change is they want you to spend mats to finish the heroic SMS but mats are saved for Friday 🤣

[whole robin]

wrong it makes SLB better for older players because people new to their grade don't have those factions/buildings maxed and get more easy points

[queen otter]

No f2p could finish the last sms anyway

[timber sail]

F2P could finish the previous version

[slow isle]

Well, time to spend(not money!) them; I'll doubt there will be other changes to it this run😬

[steep aspen]

so new players should suffer because people are camping for way to long? no thanks

[queen otter]

Every day except the last one

[whole robin]

but maybe make what scores different by ops level? like at 68 I'm fine with what scores now... but g5 players should maybe have some of those old buildings score

like there are already different scoring brackets

[fallow sorrel]

yup, many building are locked at g5/lvl60 and the parts just keep accumulating. a new g6 player used to blow away even big spenders in the g6 bracket

same for ops locked ships

[whole robin]

DTI/section keys are what always made this SLB score big for me

[fallow sorrel]

true.

[peak sedge]

It's our own fault for enjoying the previous CoTA events. Fun doesn't fit in with the current model 🤷

[whole robin]

it wasn't making enough $$$ for them

is the real reason for the change

they weren't making enough $$$ off the new officers

[spiral coral]

If it ain't broke don't fix it... scopelys Moto if it ain't broke then break it and if it's broken ignore it

[whole robin]

$copely has always been greedy at least as long as I have been playing so does it really surprise you

the playerbase is relatively small compared to some other games so they gouge the heck out of us on stuff

a lot of other mobile games have 1mil or even 10mil+ players I think we have less than 100k

[opal meadow]

they also need to feed their families

[peak sedge]

If they think this change is going to drive spending, it'll be yet another disappointing conversation with their bank account

[opal meadow]

but it should give us fun enough to spend more than just our time

[whole robin]

stfc.pro says 251.7k players but that might count inactive players plus the high turnover new players a lot of them don't stay

[dull mason]

https://tenor.com/view/oliver-twist-reaction-want-some-more-please-another-gimme-gif-17355848865162338639

[whole robin]

actual active ops 30+ players I would say closer to 100k

the game doesn't even really start until ops30 ops 1-20 is basically tutorial

[peak sedge]

Monetising something previously un(or less) monetised is misguided at best, delusional at worst 🤣

[opal meadow]

I am ops 21

[whole robin]

you can get ops30 in a week or two

[opal meadow]

how?

[broken wadi]

I believe it's like 225 unique accounts. and 250 counts alts. but they lost like 15K players in 6 month

[primal stag]

oh they'd make more money on the officers if they were actually good, seriously how much money could possibly be made from base cracking officers when raiding is pointless or officers that were originally released to work for one event that nobody liked to do

[whole robin]

play the game more?

[timber sail]

I would like to report a great dishonour in the galaxy, and it’s YOU Scopely… it’s YOU! 😂

[opal meadow]

I play a lot

it took me 6 weeks to be at 21

[solid sparrow]

The current scoring is also broken Ham. I know its a holiday, but with zero feedback from the company about a key event that only lasts for 24 hours, was changed with zero notice and is currently broken, no response from the company is going to be very poorly received. And deservedly so.

They can pay you guys overtime pay, or those responsible for this very poor decision and quality control can come in and fix it... In your shoes I'd be hopping mad at my company that I couldn't take a day off without things going to 💩 and requiring me to work. As a human being, I'm 100% there to support you, an overworked worker who deserves better. I'll gladly help you hold those responsible accountable.

As a customer of Scopely, this is the forum for me to voice the deserved displeasure of their poor choices and treatment of us.

[strong hamlet]

scoring is already fixed

[stray pawn]

well they are going to make even less now

[solid sparrow]

I just put one level into my outpost building, and the scoring is still broken for me.

[silver parcel]

clear your localization

the common scoring was swapped with rare

[opal meadow]

I used to be 40+ but I like the early phases

[fallow sorrel]

a base cracking officer in a time where most bases are massively walled with regular rss and active players need sigma stuff which cant be drained without completely depleting the regular rss. who has time to raid for 20+hrs to get to the sigma?

[heady moon]

pinged ya

[strong hamlet]

wait what. they fixed the visuals of the event, but wont give ppl the score it shows when they did the event? 🤣

r u for real?

[whole robin]

It's a holiday? what is it? Veteran's day? 🤔

[opal meadow]

COTA on Veterans Day

[primal stag]

precisely my point, i guarantee if hierarch was this month's Ascendant then we'd be more willing to spend

[lapis marten]

Exactly. I don’t want the old school rss, but spending days trying to empty that for 3 scoops of sigma doesn’t appeal to me at all

[whole robin]

well the studio is based in Ireland and they don't have veteran's day but they already went home for the day

oh it's Armistice day the end of WW1 maybe they have their own version of the holiday but it's not called Veteran's Day

[shadow island]

$copely is either stupid or brave putting out a survey now

[round ember]

In the UK (and probably Ireland too), it's not a holiday, just Armistice Day. Aside from a 2 min silence at 11am, most of the official events took place on sunday

That's ok! Don't look for it!

[broken wadi]

@heady moon can we have another Q&A and ask why they want to take the fun out of the game? based on the last few months that seems to be the direction. I can't access COTA because sub51 and scoply doesn't want them to exist. not taking into account COTA is what helped push me faster to G5. so that's much slower now.

[kind nexus]

It'll be the new stuff only, old CT and FT stuff won't score!

Don’t worry, they screwed those of us 51+ too by changing the scoring metrics for COTA. Too many people getting half of an officer unlock apparently. Can’t wait for Conor’s video talking about how much improvement since they cancelled flashpoints.

[cold summit]

Remember America don’t have many days off.

[waxen bobcat]

they want feed back when half the game is bugged?

still can raid, all bases are bugged now

ya it's been there for several months at least

[waxen bobcat]

its a key part of the game, this is the worst arc so far, and that is saying something.

if i bought a car with the amount of bugs this game has i would be returning it for a full refund

So I lose placing in the event because the common was swapped and others who saw the exploit before me placed higher with the wrong greater scoring of 6,718 per common control core and now that its fixed I get 672 points. Not directed at you Arsenic but Chronicle of the Ascendant today has been a huge letdown, it wassss my favorite monthly event…

[little violet]

that looks soooooooooooo good

The scoring wasn't changed, just the display.

We own a mountain, and a cave, just to store it

Seriously look up US gov cheese

Its wild

[leaden meadow]

This is cheese

[plain wadi]

The cheese caves in missouri are wild

[twilit lintel]

No, the U.S. government no longer distributes block sharp cheddar cheese directly to low-income families as it did in past decades. The practice of distributing "government cheese" was a result of agricultural policy in the 1970s and 1980s that created a massive dairy surplus, which was then given to people in need.

[round ember]

Of course it's an option. Where I work we have a 3 month window where our annual audit could take place (unannounced). So we're not rolling out new software when the next working day is one where the auditors can show up. If we can plan around that, I'm fairly certain Scopely could plan around 1 single day

[spiral ginkgo]

I have 6 blocks on my counter right now dude

They definitely still do

And it tastes worse than it looks

[whole robin]

mmm Brie yummy

[cyan nimbus]

Instead of fixing scoring they dropped the points for common outpost pats by a factor of 10. Zero chance of finishing it f2p now. Kills the entire 6 day meta I was saving for 30 days to finish.

[whole robin]

or is it camembert or another soft cheese 🤣

[twilit lintel]

well its by the government always short cuts in their food

[leaden meadow]

it is brie

[deep eagle]

yes. so what - as long as it completes the event=?

[leaden meadow]

nothing changed to the actual scoring. They had switched rare and common scoring on the outpost cores. Or they wanted to save face, I don't know.
It's still impossible to finish for 9/10 of the players and completely destroyed all the interest I had left in the event

[cyan nimbus]

@heady moon why was this launch special (the pack on the right) not released on patch day?

I want comp for the difference between the two packs cuz I bought the normal pack because launch special was missing last week

5.6k common cores 1.6k rare cores you owe me

[leaden meadow]

There was so much of it they'd have to accept 3 more mods to clean it all up
So it wouldn't be much use deleting stuff unless it really violated the rules of the server

[whole robin]

and 5 hierarch shards

[spiral ginkgo]

Yeah thats a legitimate beef. They do owe you 1.6k rare cores

[slow isle]

I want those 9.6K <color=#00b4ff>Rare</color>... right now 👀

If you want to sell these packs you should commit to a sourcing strategy past December and announce it ASAP

[lusty olive]

Never fear. I predict another ascendant event next week for the other officer. Everyone is laughing. And crying cause they know it to be so

[whole robin]

in the past there's always been a launch day special on day one but there wasn't one this time so I assumed their wouldn't be one...

or it was only available in the web store, I didn't check web store cuz Xsolla banned me for requesting a refund, even though I cancelled the request- so now I get 10% back through google play instead of Multiphasics

if you subscribe to Play Pass ($30 a year) you get a 10% back as points for 1 day thingy once a week now thru Google Play

then I spend those points on battle passes xD

[lusty olive]

They’re desperate for sales. Using old tactics

[muted cape]

did you not no? STFC = Spicy Texas Fried Chicken

[leaden meadow]

they must've fired their army of psychologists because no sane person would pull the "players are spending less, let's be pathetic with our events to try and squeeze some money out of them" tactic they're pulling right now
If you're already spending less, feeling like someone's forcing you to spend will result in the opposite effect

For me anyway

[tepid lotus]

I bought from the web store and saw no launch specials.

Maybe next time we need to bug them about it if we don't see one.

[weary herald]

just saw this on FB

[tepid lotus]

I was assuming they wouldn't have one either though.

[gleaming palm]

https://tenor.com/view/bah-humbug-ba-humbug-christmas-carol-scrooge-gif-4810867

if we take away the free stuff, they will surely pay us more 😆

[whole robin]

yeah next time I am holding out for sure in case they 'forget' the launch special again

this month's launch was a hot mess though

but yeah in the past 3 months or so the only $99 pack I have bought is whatever 'launch special' there was for the month, I used to spend more but 1. Game Quality has been getting even worse and 2. the Value on the packs at higher ops is HORRIBLE

[minor furnace]

Unfortunate that the decision to not adjust scores rather than correcting the text was their decision.

Something I might have to reassess...

[whole robin]

the $99 material specials give like maybe a week's worth of materials for high g6 players

Ain't worth it unless you're a true 🐳 I'm just a 🐬

[gleaming palm]

its rare that the $99 mats or parts are truely good value
usually save you maybe a week ish of grind if that

[twilit lintel]

you know u hate waves so much that the game makes you wana do em for gs31

[arctic iris]

aint that why all these events are changing? lost alot of the 🐳 now trying to make up for the loss of income by pushing more spending onto the 🐬

[twilit lintel]

we need gs31 ship parts in event store

[gleaming palm]

yus, fast ship to level and replaces the G6 unc and rare ships + parts refinery

[leaden meadow]

I just want it to a useable level
Haven't been able to use it in g6 at all, not even in elite solo waves
And it's almost t9
Silly that a ship just sits in my hangar for half a year until it's good enough to use

[twilit lintel]

and not one almost done

but i do like how they added the upgrade button

[grim thistle]

oh titan takes forever, that one is a slow roll like evis

[strong hamlet]

collect tons and tons of stuff and then use the trans efficiency

[arctic iris]

dunno what i did to get titan maxed but treated it as a prio to make my daily pulls the best i could for commanders

[grim thistle]

milestone reached

[tepid lotus]

Isn't it amazing that all 3 factions use the same word for Hero?

[twilit lintel]

what op lvl

[grim thistle]

elite did it better yeah

[grim thistle]

70

well 69 for feds

[solemn plaza]

Only 8.5T to go

[grim thistle]

and roms, klg were last, just now

[arctic iris]

still a little bit for me

[grim thistle]

ye will get back to you on that one in like 2years

[solemn plaza]

Yeah its pretty slow without insane spending.

[grim thistle]

spotted the dauntless research though, maybe accelerate it all down to a year with that and some daily mu grind

[opal meadow]

Veil dailies, exos, MU, the lot 🫣

[solemn plaza]

Probably faster to grind the rep than to get the Dauntless to T11

[grim thistle]

dauntless has been pretty nice for finishing the rep has to be said

oh im a good few months from 71 at least, got a lot to do before then - ton of buildings, bunch of ships

[whole robin]

lol I just started playing Elite again recently

[solemn plaza]

Takes over a year to go from T1 to T11.....thats just insanity

[whole robin]

they had Odyssey on sale in steam store for like $1.49 I had the base game already

[whole robin]

ya I have already completed the bajoran faction store but my Defiant still not max 🤣

but Discovery is even worse than Defiant

[grim thistle]

yeah the defiant, titan, evis are all ships you finish their loops for long before you max em

[whole robin]

Titan isn't as bad as the rest since there's now an exocomp for it in the transogen store

defiant has an exo now too I think but it's slower than titan to begin with

[solemn plaza]

Dauntless is by far the worst. The upgrade time on it is just ridiculous

[whole robin]

Evisc I got after Defiant and finished before defiant I already built a second one for ship-upgrade SLBs

now watch them remove older ships from scoring on the ship upgrade SLBs like they removed a bunch of the factions on this one 🤣

[clever coral]

Another great fix... 🤦

[humble orbit]

Upgrade time takes awhile, but at least the dauntless is providing ship value when it farms aggregation. I feel vindi and defiant are the worst.

Though defiant gets a pass since it's a buffing ship.

[dull mason]

@twilit lintel don't look #🌌-galaxy-chat message 😱🤣

[solemn plaza]

A ship taking 2+ years to max is just stupid though.

[twilit lintel]

[dull mason]

I agree 💯

[tepid lotus]

Yeah, most ships you won't be using after 1 year.

[heavy mantle]

Are they going to adjust chronicle of the ascendant ? Or comp announcement?

[humble orbit]

Yeah, too long. With vindi/defiant, you're generally decreasing performance when you include them on your teams. Bad in a different way.

They don't grow all that fast either.

[silver parcel]

wouldn't count on either, the scorecard dislay was fixed and they added heroic to it.

I'm livid about the abuse that they just dished out to CotA...what was once a good event, and a chance to get rid of all the stupid extra currencies and components that many people save up, cause you never know when they will drop an event for them...and finally when it seems that they have a regular event cycle that allows us to actually upgrade our stuff, and now it's just been a waste of time and progress again...

[tawdry oriole]

Yup. Now token space is broke.

[warm hedge]

and not even a calendar of the brutalised CotA event so you don't even know what they inserting in our butts each day for the next week

does this loot bonus MULTIPLY with Squall's existing loot bonus? cuz it has thousands of percent existing loot bonus on it's target hostiles... which if additive that's trash lol

unless someone is trying to use the squall as a combat ship without it's active ability? 🤔

the 1000% mining rate and 30% bonus transogen is nice though but that ability seems... bad?

either way not worth buying to me will get once they add F2P sourcing in 1-6 months

I bought the PvP CT though 30k apex barrier 🤤

thats a lot of grinding for 1 officer badge, first ones free the others are pay to play?

I used to buy the Battle Pass, but after this turd of a game got even steamier this week I won't buy that until Scopely turns the ship around

[naive escarp]

you'll be waiting a long time lol

the ship only sinks further

[harsh atlas]

More money kept in my wallet then

[silk wyvern]

I am really starting to look forward to the day I try to log on and the servers are gone at this point.

[frank pike]

The constant moving of the goalposts should be expected at this point.

If there’s one thing Scopely is good at, it is saying blap you to players when it comes to events and expected scoring metrics.

Expect the rest of the week to be just as magical.

[proven magnet]

at least 9 hours late good job scopely. probably only prepared announcement after seeing people complain about it

[formal crypt]

Well, I'm out. What a crock. Completely nerfed everything to do with the COA.

[frank pike]

Yeah, Scopely can get bent on those scoring changes and waiting until this late to announce them.

You literally have people who save up just for these events, <@&509690795536941056>, this is a great way to help drop that player count by another 20-30% reeeeeeeal quick.

[formal crypt]

I'd be banned if I used the words I said when I read it

I'm not taking part in CoA now

[heady moon]

The scores didn't change after CotA started.

The entire game is garbage at this point… I am convinced they want to kill their own game…

[graceful sage]

Wow they are really doubling down on this decision to gut CotA

[ornate prairie]

For the future events it just did

[hollow crystal]

lets hope I don't find a birdcage.

or a fish tank.

[steep aspen]

the listed scoring values absolutely did change

[hollow crystal]

"meat is murder" I'll whisper

[vast kayak]

not sure they know what heads up means

[arctic iris]

Im so anrgy, shielded up, turned off the game and opened my xbox and ea apps to find something else. full blown take away any hope of getting anything new in this game without spending. Cant wait for Alliance Tournament to remove the Free 10k tasks next

[frank pike]

What scores anymore for the daily events just drastically changed, with zero notice.

Bait and switch much?

[heady moon]

It changed. But not after CotA started. The changes were made before hand and should have been announced sooner

[pallid saffron]

Scopley you suck, nothing you do is acceptable, I hope this have dies fast

[rich fern]

I see scopley really has no desire to keep players around. Removing all the scoring options is yet another slap in the face to the players

[jaunty wren]

Still poor communication

Like always

[pallid saffron]

Yeah I’m done with this game

[tight hazel]

that and recreating the crazy grinds just to complete a single event that scores 1 badge and some reputation 🙁

[glass pine]

Changed after and chalked it up to a display issue.

[silver parcel]

it was a display issue, the scoring has remained the same

[jaunty wren]

@heady moon why the scoring change when you guys just want people to do outposts because nobody doing them

[steep aspen]

people spent based on the displayed scoring, which was incorrect

[frank pike]

So, basically every day of the event is now buy at least a pack to complete, if not more.

[heady moon]

Let me follow up on this tomorrow.

[hard tundra]

Nobody is doing outposts because they take too long and tie up your ships for far too long… shocker Scopely thought players would be happy about this?

[frank pike]

You guys really seem determined to get under 50k daily logins

[old arrow]

3 to 4 packs

[analog phoenix]

<@&509690795536941056> I updated my game but most of the CotA scoring is still missing on my account, about 9 hours after event launch

[frank pike]

I see more and more people, whales included,saying spending is done with on their end.

[boreal oasis]

don't agree with this approach

[steep aspen]

the math on the displayed scoring told me I could finish the SMS with my common outpost control cores, which I was saving for the final upgrade SLB to win that frame. I spent them based on that math, which was wrong, because the displayed score was wrong. The 3 million they actually gave did nothing for me on the SMS

[frank pike]

Guess they need to hit the few rubes left harder and harder

[scarlet pelican]

Wow. Probably one of the biggest slap in the face in recent months.

This ain’t even game anymore. Just a company searching through a player’s wallet

[frank pike]

Seriously, just tell us how much you expect people to pay up front anymore, @heady moon, so people can just look at it, laugh, and go play actually good games for a heck of a lot less.

At this point you’re talking $1k for an officer this week. Eat it

[arctic iris]

So if i do decided to carry on with this game and go to G6 and can start scoring though spending mirrior dust again, i cant score anymore anyway lol

[gleaming ridge]

you know what? maybe this is good. this game has gotten way too involved lately. now 1 of the best events for catching up and progressing is being removed? might be time to take a year or 5 away from the game again.

[frank pike]

Our wallets are not heroic, the live ops teams level of delusion IS

[plucky roost]

Well, I guess CotA is now truly a “heroically open your wallet” event. Sad, but not unexpected

[plucky roost]

I need to find another game to play. Mobile. Similar structure, preferably, but cheaper. Thoughts?

[old arrow]

U better invite me

[plucky roost]

Well, have to find one first

More likely i’ll just keep playing and not spending

until it finally dies

Which, should be pretty soon based on current trajectory

[arctic iris]

"added Solo outpost directives"
🤣 🤣
Why?
For a once a month event that most likely wont even line up with the event

[frank pike]

Anyone in northern latitudes and clear skies should get outside and take some pics of the night sky

[lament slate]

Its not. It starts right after the current one ends

[scarlet pelican]

In the space of 3-4 months quite literally removed/revamped all the events that rewarded syndicate xp, special currencies, officers etc just to replace it with heroic pack events and battle passes. This is a company cashing out because they know their license for the IP is not getting renewed

[frank pike]

That's not true.

yet

[empty bluff]

Just a I hope your new owners the Saudis punish you as much and as brutally as possible. This is no longer a game. This is just a cash register. If I spend I win some door prize, a frame maybe or an avatar. I love the fake commercials where they show all these neat things about switching ships out and loading things up and etc. It's all lies.

[old arrow]

Wow what game is that it ain't this one

[empty bluff]

If we employ a little logic here. The company doesn't like scrapping keeps adjusting new currencies every time we go from G6 to G7 to whatever. Raiding just happens to break. And since it's broken, the leaders will instruct not to fix it. So it will stay broken. Now they just change the scoring. I do see the holiday lights are coming up. Perhaps it's time to enjoy them.

[arctic iris]

Some serious false advertising there 🤣

Stop paying attention to the game entirely, seems to be their end goal at this point.

[dull mason]

Compo will probably, not include event points

[dull mason]

The event schedule is 💯% crazy

[scarlet pelican]

Give it a few weeks and the ahead of curve event will be a paywallled heroic

[dull mason]

Sadly no boldly go, and No Future collaboration is Ridiculous ...

[humble orbit]

Aotc was already close there. In the long term, FC development space is going to run out, and I needed that to supply a lot of my pts.

[empty bluff]

I think it's called doubling down on being stupid.

[dull mason]

In a not too distant future for most people
Fleet command slot's maxed
FT maxed
Artifact maxed
Chao's TEC maxed
All factions maxed
Plus Crew and archive Maxed

Then what? ?

[modern eagle]

There'll be lots of new (game breaking) things by that time.

Always something to buy. That's the mantra.

New PVP officers that will make the current ones weak in comparison. Something that beats iso and shred etc.

[frank pike]

Then you expand scoring, not retract it, or give players what they should have done long ago: actual end of loop ways to use up currencies that we can no longer use.

[naive escarp]

there's too many officers as it is with no real system to sort or search them. its a mess

[minor furnace]

Did Scopley hire Nico Harrison?

[frank pike]

Don’t defend the stupidity and laziness of just removing scoring options just because some people are starting to hit the eventual end of certain loops. Instead, call out the constant glaring lack of forethought from the dev team on how to address that in ways that’s actually rewarding and engaging while not punishing others who still haven’t hit those points,

Crap design is crap design

[glass pine]

What happened to rewarding previous progress? That would take care of people hitting the end of loops.

[arctic iris]

its not becasue some people started to end loops, its a cop out, its purely becasue it didnt cost money to complete the event

[frank pike]

This makes about as much sense as people defending g6 and g7 players still getting g3 mats in rewards

[steep aspen]

if it was about ending loops then they would have left common and uncommon wrath credits in, or also taken out rare and epic wrath credits

[broken wadi]

the wrong people won, and that's not how STFC has fun.

[quartz spoke]

stfc has just earned my 7 day shield in which i will make my decision if i am done or not

[steep aspen]

if they are going to remove loops from scoring for CotA, then those same loops should be in the IA and have their ship bps and parts in the store. Until then, the loop is still relevant

[frank pike]

They’ve lost another significant portion of who was left since 71+ came out, and a chunk of that from the top end.

They’re proving they no longer care, they’re just going to ride it till the the last pack is bought

[silk wyvern]

The game is so broken, you don't even need a shield. 🤣

[frank pike]

@heady moon all this latest set of scoring changes has done is shown a growing population of players they don’t need to bother logging in or paying attention to in game events for a week since they won’t be able to rely on scoring that they had built up.

Looking forward to the lack of lag at least 👍🏾

Oh, wait, this is Scopely I’m talking about, lag will still happen

Way to ruin Chronicles of the Ascendent with all these removals of scoring metrics with only a single addition. Super lame. Are you trying to turn off the community before the end of the year? Because this is how you turn off the community before the end of the year.

[boreal oasis]

[sinful parcel]

It just a week or so ago that I was up on stage on UltimatDJz podcast saying how I my play time was down to the 15 hour a week range and how I wasn't motivated to move up from Ops 60. I was planning on going to 63 this week for CoA since I would have a bunch of specialty ships available to upgrade after going to 61 ans such.

Now after seeing them neutering the scoring for the events, I am even more disillusioned about making any changes. Maybe if they made the changes due to offering The Hierarch, I could say it was justifiable, but with it being Nog, I don't see the reason for it.

Congratulations STFC staffers, you managed to really turn off a 7 year, week 1 player.

[warm root]

Meh I can take a picture of the whole galaxy 😂

[warm root]

They didn’t pay the bill

[brave epoch]

Ha, bad santa

[timber sail]

Ok I'm going to try the parental thing - Scopely, I'm not mad... I'm just DISAPPOINTED! 😂

It's becoming a bit sad to see the game consistently make bad choices month after month. It feels like change is needed at the top - whoever is making these choices, replace them. It's a great game with a great community, but you are going to lose it soon due to poor decisions and bad leadership. This latest change with the previously great CotA event is the latest in a string of really tone deaf decisions sure to steadily alienate the player base. Reflect, react, get it sorted.

[minor furnace]

Like I said earlier...

Hire NICO

[copper gale]

Honestly, gutting the CotA events less than a day after the 3rd maintenance of the month that managed to somehiw ADD even more bugs to the already terribly bugged update of this month is a very special kind of disrespect or even maybe hate towards your wall.... players. Do better.

Base raiding still nerfed, STILL…

It’s been a week!!!

#🛠-known-issues message

youve known about, told us “it’s a top priority”, we’ve had yet another maintenance (planned or otherwise) and guess what 🤷‍♂️

It’s still broken!

What kind of monkeys do you have doing the coding?
You obvs just don’t care anymore

40k accounts have dropped in 6 months, surely that cannot continue
Scopley’s responce “Hold my beer”

[fallen cradle]

Has the latest Conor ransom video dropped yet? Not seen any announcement.

[cobalt shoal]

What can i even say anymore, i liked the game, and i liked buying new stuff, battlepass premium, that sort of thing. But with the absolute incompetence of scopely staff to fix any issue, and the horrible decision making, it's zero dollars only from now on, and if things keep getting worse its a goodbye game. An yes, these kind of "i will not pay anymore!" declarations are often pathetic, as if that one person is holding the key to all the income. I dont pressume that. But if scopely thinks I am alone in this, they are sorely mistaken. Losing tens of thousands of people, losing big number of paying customers, and still, they cant get their ish together. And what will be the response to any and all feedback? Another great "we are sorry you feel that way, but we will keep being muppets and put in MORE paywalls" ? Another "be quiet and accept this tiny pointless compensation package" ? No thanks

[elfin loom]

Don’t leave my friend

[agile bolt]

Leave, leave before it gets worse. Cause it will

[cobalt shoal]

I dont want to, but this latest Chronicles insert word here that is likely forbidden really riled me up. People save mats for a big monthly event, just to get another word up just as it happens. That is beyond anything I expected of them. And i already expect the worst. I go play something else for the day, as there is no point doing anything right now.

[timber sail]

really rough spell at the moment for the game

no IA additions for 6 months, massive click overload (30-45 minutes each morning working through the daily clicks), no g5 scrapping, no g6 freebooters, nerfing the best events, rolling out unfinished/unpolished content... unfortunately, people need to be replaced and there needs to be a long look in the mirror

[leaden meadow]

Time for a long shield and step away to re-evaluate if I still want to play this
This change which was not communicated at all until it was way too late, will at best drive a very large portion of the playerbase to quit spending or seriously lower their investment in the feature.
At worst a big portion of the playerbase just moves on to a different game.
I know I am too tired for Scopely borking over players, feels like a social experiment to how far they can go.

[fringe timber]

<@&509690795536941056> I wake up to this. to put this message out after the uproar is just insulting.

[timber sail]

"a heads-up" 😂

the heads-up is that we have removed all the ways that you can F2P these events, so that you can realistically only engage with them with the good old $. Announcement Ends. 😂

In some ways, you gotta give them credit for how far they are willing to push it... tone deaf beyond belief!

It's rare to see a business so out of touch with their customers

[radiant helm]

Is there sourcing for ent e riker, except for depot tokens?

[timber sail]

gs-31 refinery I think

[opal meadow]

What have you done this time? 🫣😅

[mystic gust]

Sure, "Chronicle of the Ascendant" and nothing counts anymore. More like "Chronicle of ignore this 💩 Event."

[lament heath]

so true

[kind nexus]

The most upsetting thing about this change is, not only is the new CotA event rubbish and undoable for so many (I physically cannot even get the first milestone because of these stupid changes)

But it also is the only actual events they're running for the week basically

So it's a dead week of the arc, unless you're lucky enough/spend enough money

[mystic gust]

Absolute huge pile of purest 💩 I've seen in a long time from Scopely

[cyan nimbus]

If today was the only nerf, it kills the 7 day meta. But it gets worse as they are pulling the f2p hoarding option from every day's events. It's dead to even small spenders now.

[humble orbit]

It's not the only nerf. The in-game news has a list of things changing.

[brave epoch]

I've put up a 3 day shield and not logged in. This is my considering not going back.

[kind nexus]

It's disappointing the amount of disdain the arc runners and whoever made these changes show for the players, every day

[opal meadow]

Basically everything 🤷🏻‍♂️🤣

[humble orbit]

Based on the changes, it's phasing out older and earlier parts of loops. The easy stuff lost value, and scores will be based on mats and "current" content.

[mystic gust]

Game is dead for me.

[cobalt shoal]

Understandable, and i wish you calm three days. It is best to consider ones position rather than acting in affect after all 🙂

[cyan nimbus]

No, as they didn't replace what was pulled with equivalent new content that free to play/$20 BP players can use to score. They needed to drop the milestones by a factor for 10 for what was removed.

[leaden meadow]

They added 1 currency to the scoring and removed 25 others
That's not really phasing out or updating current content

[scarlet pelican]

I struggle to see how you can call this a strategy game or a game at all when every solve is just to buy a store pack

[leaden meadow]

When you remove 90% of the currency, lower scoring on the remaining currency but keep the milestones the same as before, you're just ready to let the event die

[cyan nimbus]

They are pulling NSEA and Vindicator from starship upgrade day. I'm a $20 BP 80 hour a week player and NEITHER of those ships are maxed yet. Till they are in the IA they aren't "old content". I'm STILL working on them.

[mystic gust]

Even this outpost stuff could've been more rewarding by making the purchased outpost upgrades permanent but resetting it every time makes this whole mechanism just useless. At the moment it's just nonsense. Don't know who 💩 in the Game Designers intl their brain but it must've been a huge load.

[pearl timber]

But it's not phased, but removing nearly all of the buildings and other items that score in one go. If DTI and wave credits went and transogen and aggregation added then I'd agree.

This isn't that

[kind nexus]

I would understand that if it was 1 in 1 out, swapping an old for a new, but they've bulk removed a large amount, some of which most people would still be collecting and using because of their game design for no reason, why add them all in the first place to remove them a few events later

[humble orbit]

Both those loops were added in an earlier run.

[deep birch]

Well more and more I feel like Captain Picard, Janeway or Sisko, it seems that a 7 Year trip is going to end, when I see all this s…t going on with the game, and it seems to get worse month by month.

[pearl timber]

So why does the Syndicate and Faction options have 3 scoring metrics? Where is the the replacement there? Where is the phasing?

Why does Synidcate score 12 point less than last time? Why is Rare and Epic WOK credits Score half what they did last run?

[kind nexus]

Why did they remove a bunch of buildings from the "foundations of power" event, but leave those credits and syndicate

Would make more sense to leave the buildings in an event called FOUNDATIONS of power

[lament heath]

so am i blind or are relativity ship parts staying in the scoring mix?

[deft wyvern]

Why is everyone complaining about all the events being so 💩from Scopely. Blame all the whales for buying everything there is even if it is a 💩arc. Scopely learned they only need to drop a new ship/BP/crew or anything new and they will buy it. If you had a animal that you feed 💩to and it will 💩out gold. You are going to keep doing it

[humble orbit]

I'm not looking at each run in isolation. They added modern loops like transogen and aggregation, and phased out scoring for those others. The last run had surplus scoring, and this is the one where they removed a bunch. In the broader sense, I'm calling that phasing. Projecting further out, I expect this to continue, and wok r/e credits to lose complete value in the future too.

[stray pawn]

so Scopely doubled down on GOTA? 🤣🤣 STFC r.i.p.

[deep birch]

I never spent that much money here, the different BP every month, special ships when they appear. 4 months ago I stopped spending money, until the game gets better again.

[primal stag]

Then where's the bloody IA updates if they want to "phase out" old content? Instead they took out 75-80% of scoring options just for today's events let alone the rest of the week which guts the event further. Also there's no replacement for the Ferengi pass currency that's available in CotA otherwise F2P get 115k through the BP. Guess they killed off the event store that was supposed to "replace" the end of arc stores

[primal stag]

Wait til next month, it'll probably be removed

[brave epoch]

It's true a small percentage make the most money, but without the 99% of everyone else, they've no one to show off to

[primal stag]

And with out those people spending, none of us are here as the game wouldn't be here

[brave epoch]

I don't buy that, the difference would be profits in the millions, not billions

[lament heath]

yep reallocating it would be much better than sneaky sneaky delete

Transparency (or the lack of it) is still their worst part of this

[primal stag]

Well if none of us are playing then whales have no reason to spend 50k on a vengeance, if whales have no reason to spend absurd amounts of money then they quit, if they quit then the game dies as it's not profitable anymore

[primal stag]

I doubt half the people in the team who helped make the decision, actually know about the decision

[deft wyvern]

Also remember the game is for the whales. So they don't score for all those ships upgrades anyway as they already max their ships so why should we f2p and smaller players get points for it

[pearl timber]

I accept that items should be phased out, I have no issue with that. This is not that, they added 2 metrics over the last 2 months and removed 75% of what's left in one go. Why half Syndicate scoring if that was going to be a constant metric?

They gutted this event and have also removed the bulk of the top up event store loot that was up for grabs. It's now likely I will just get the free track of the battle pass plus maybe a handful of SMS milestones

[humble orbit]

I don't believe syndicate is going to be a constant metric. Syndicate income isn't constant or stable, the players in the current expansion part of syndicate are earning tons more than players in the older parts.

If they kept the scoring constant, then officers from cota would get easier and easier as they progressed in the syndicate loop.

[deft wyvern]

They also removed the syndicate from BP also.

[tame cypress]

Lets just face it. If I was Scopely I would do the same. Cut out old currencies hoarded so that people can't really compete without spending. The more they cut - the more ppl will complain, but more ppl will spend.

[humble orbit]

Looking back, I think that makes sense because of the wide difference in value a syndicate 56+ will view the syndicate exp reward that is only big for 55- players.

[scenic mulch]

Phasing stuff out is fine, but add as much as you remove. The worst part is still the missing communication and the ignorance regarding player behaviour. Of course people plan and hoard for those events, of course people are frustrated when their plans get foiled. But yesterday left the impression that the Community Managers did not even know about the changes in advance. Tough to communicate stuff you don't know about ...

[stray pawn]

Then the answer would be to have different scoring metrics for G7. if lower level looks still have upgrades to do so its not irrelevant to them. Scopely created this mess by over complicating the game

[humble orbit]

Syndicate isn't ops-linked, it's not a G7 vs everyone else issue.

If they give a syndicate reward that's appropriate to people at level 44, then it'd be worthless to those at level 56.

[merry tree]

-I entirely disagree. Nothing in the last months has pushed me closer to wanting to spend. Absolutely the opposite i'm afraid

[humble orbit]

And if they did it the other way, then the 44 is going to gain so much exp...

[pearl timber]

No, F2P players will quit as Scopely have removed the another avenue to try and stay relevant against the spenders

[merry tree]

^ that's me, I feel called out 😉

[primal stag]

Except for the fact that it's a middle finger to whales as well cause the only specialty buildings that score, they spent to max them even as recent as last week. Even for the ships or tomorrow's research day, either they maxed the item or didn't spend. This event wont make people spend but instead incentivize people to close their wallets or quit the game

[oblique forum]

you forget the people who cant spend more... if you take the chance from the med and low cash player to get new stuff you loose more monay if that base is leaving... only whales cant hold that game... its a bad joke that scopay remove all chances to get points... they can wait until the h.e.ll will freezing if i spend more... its more possible that i spend less or nothing!

[lament heath]

but it's the opposite of the "lower ops players exist" speech this summer. what's wrong with catch up? syndi 55- is old content, is it not?

[naive escarp]

thousands of players have already left the game, scopely don't seem to care.

[merry tree]

Makes you wonder how accurately and effectively our concerns are actually passed along ...

[lament heath]

my main reason of not being able to progress is all these utility stuff. syndi, command center, artifact gallery. very hard to catch up on these.

[leaden meadow]

Ah yes they added so much stuff the past few runs that getting to the milestones is about as difficult as before right
Right?
I'm certainly not a massive hoarder who saves up everything to spend at the right time who now can't even get halfway through the sms

It might've been somewhat fine if we knew about the changes 3 weeks ago, although almost nothing scores still

Btw that argument would make sense if they hadn't cut the scoring of things like wrath credits in half, something which already is quite difficult to mass in large quantities unless you completely forfeit any of the officer or ft/ct pulls which need daily attention
The philosophy behind it is just to bork over the players who don't spend for every single event and they cannot hide that
Didn't spend 400 euros in packs for the outpost to get a bunch of common and rare? Well too bad for us I guess

[humble orbit]

Doesn't need to be passed along, scopely is here all the time and reading your feedback. Even today, hammy, was in discord fielding concerns about the day's problems, and it was a holiday break.

[lament heath]

or if i manage to catch up, like i did with the hurak, they simply remove it 🤣

[tame cypress]

I totally agree to all that replied to my comments. I'm also a hoarder and a minimum spender (monthly bp and thats it). But im 100% sure they have assessed everything regarding the yapping/spending/players quitting balance. Even if it is just for this COTA event and after all the feedback from players, they might (low probability) return some scoring for next one. They would have drained many wallets just for this COTA.

[merry tree]

so, one person 'eh. should we feel something about that ?

[primal stag]

I genuinely think that the CMs write down our feedback but either it gets sent to his bosses spam folder or he doesn't have the security clearance to walk into the part of the office with live ops or game design to deliver feedback

[leaden meadow]

Hammy can pass all the feedback he wants, the changes and doubling down on it clearly show his job is just meaningless

[merry tree]

^

so, of all the thousands and thousands of players input, ,that gets filtered up by ONE person...Is that what i'm reading here ?

[primal stag]

I don't think wallets are gonna be drained for CotA outside of the weekend mat spend which is worth 2x pts

[humble orbit]

No, it isn't. But your concern was that it never reached scopely. And he's scopely, same as simpauly, and sierra was in here a couple days ago as well.

[merry tree]

welp, I hope that helps you understand my opinion on how effective that all is then

imo ofc.

[tame cypress]

For the last events that were cross-server, we could clearly see how many big spenders there are.. big percentage are f2p/low spenders. but big spenders are also quite big number

[merry tree]

because these last few months are showing me that nothing gets up there y'know.

[humble orbit]

All of your feedback, and the vigor is seen by scopely, both directly and by people like mods, CCs, and PAC who push your concerns to them.

[merry tree]

i wonder if the 40k that've already left will appreciate those efforts...because honestly, I don't really see it myself, but there we are.

on a much lighter note tho, Pluribus is definitely worth a watch folks 🙂

[lament heath]

something gets up tho, cause they made an announcement of scoring. i think it was bc of our complains here.
but i think their power is very limited, cause stuff that actually matters is very slow to change. all we get is some sugarcoating 🤷‍♀️

remember the lower ops matter speech. it was nice but was there any action? all i remember that events were pushed to 51+ 🤣

[teal snow]

Are bots allowed in the game, people still using them 6 months after scopley informed ?

[primal stag]

It's still the premise that they had to have known it wouldn't be received well at all and chose to not tell us, just like #freedti. Also, with how slow they move on meaningful changes to the game (took 18 months before anything was done about lvl 70 Gorn system warp range compared to Eviscerator) will inevitably bleed more players. If they don't 180 on some of these tone deaf decisions, then 6-12 months we might be in maintenance mode

[teal snow]

And why are scopley having employees playing the game setting up alliances etc is it to make us spend more ?

[primal stag]

Technically no, but the ones who not are the ones paying for the CEO's yachts

[warm hedge]

hey come on man...they need their coke and strippers!

[lament heath]

i agree, that's why i said all we get is sugarcoating. i think they know but chose not to take action just throw us some scraps

[warm hedge]

this time it's not just not taking action it's doubling down on bull 💩 moves refusing to actualy post a calendar of events still but rubbing the 💩 in our faces by just announcing whats being axed, rather than fixing the player dissatisfaction!

[teal snow]

I would have thought it would be classed as cheating and the offenders removed but if not we can download the software as well yes ?

[dull mason]

I honestly hate kren being added to the " Too do Task's" I can only destroy one if I go at a damaged one over 8+ time's it's so boring..
This day's event will be left ( blank ) like the one with New Augment ( blank)

[humble orbit]

Botting is against the Terms of Service.

[primal stag]

No you cannot, you'd be at risk for a ban

[dull mason]

A daily helper would be great,
It's such a Shame

[warm hedge]

IMHO botting should be allowed, they only don't like it cause people can soemtimes.....and it's quite rare , but it can sometimes be used for SLBs but I notice that those SLBs have the crappiest rewards...

but if the game can be played by a bot...it's obviously too repetitive and you need better game design

[teal snow]

@humble orbit Thats what I thought but the guys using them are being linked to the scopley employee that's in game ?

[humble orbit]

File a ticket to CS about it. #👽-how-to-contact-support

[warm hedge]

who do you think is behind making most the bots? how else do you answer how the bot updates come out at basically the same time as the game updates?

they obviously know whats coming....

[teal snow]

@humble orbit Guys are saying if scopley allows it by taking no action then surely it's kinda allowed ?

[humble orbit]

People say a lot of things, doesn't make it true. It is not allowed.

[teal snow]

Tickets are being done video evidence etc also

Again

[warm hedge]

You can't even get your assesment rank high enough to max a lot of FT...but they pulled it, it's not even finished content yet...

#FreeFT #FreeAnnorax #FreeCotA #FreeF2P

oh anf #FreeFleetPreset

[stray pawn]

you are missing the point. The event scoring type can be scaled to each level in the same way pts and other rewards are. you don’t even have to give each ops levels the same scoring opportunities. Just because a category no longer has relevance to a higher level player isn’t justification for removing it from lower levels. Scopely keep banging on about wanting ppl to level up yet they continually think of ways to encourage the opposite. Net result ppl no longer participate in the event

[merry tree]

but, but...It works in Excel tho!!

[solid plinth]

You say it’s not allowed, but they sell a ship that does this (dauntils 🤷‍♂️) all be it limited time, but still

[humble orbit]

Syndicate isn't ops-linked. Instead of making many different reward levels, and including them in many different bps, they went with just removing it entirely. Alternate sourcing of syndicate exp exists, it doesn't have to come from bps in addition to those others.

[warm hedge]

Scopely are now clearly trashing the game and squeezing every last drop out of the Whales before the whole game goes Maintenance Mode!

[stray pawn]

you keep banging in about syndicate while I’m talking about all the removals from GOTA event

[humble orbit]

You're replying to a comment about syndicate exp.

[subtle vortex]

this has echoes of their recent fails (removal of old mats from mat spend events, DTI saga) take and take and take it only ends in one place. Maybe thats what they want at this point

[subtle vortex]

if ever a gif described playing this game 🤣

[dull mason]

Kren
New augment system's
Aggro ship's
T space
Mu Warp token's system
S-31 Ship is Annoying
A little " 📱 Helper ' would be great

[dull mason]

When they removed the limited time Crew XP, ship XP, recruitment Event's and introduced wave's is when the game for f2p became a Pain

On another note
The Old event titles need to be reinstated, the New one's are annoying

[paper raptor]

Then why doesn’t scopely take action against people who do it?

[humble orbit]

Scopely won't tell a third party what actions they are taking due to privacy reasons. File the ticket if you suspect someone's breaking the ToS. Let them look into it and decide what to do.

[muted cape]

Because it’s a major issue for all games, STFC is no exception. Scopely are a not a super tech giant that can combat a problem like this.

[twilit lintel]

which is today

[primal stag]

hold your horses, they wont say anything until at least reset in about 5.5 hours

[muted cape]

Those programs are dodgy, and high chance of infecting your PC with viruses or stealing you information.

[civic geyser]

How can it be a level playing field if mobile devices can’t

[muted cape]

Not saying anything but look at AppStore 🤣 it’s shocking Apple and Google allow such things

[twilit lintel]

stfc has cheater bots?

[paper raptor]

Yes

[twilit lintel]

wow

[strong hamlet]

Yes. And scopely doesnt seem to care. Someone posted videos of them here a while back. Poster probably got banned. Mod already ”explained” that kirishara works like that. But it doesnt

[paper raptor]

Been here as long as I have (4yrs)

[muted cape]

If caught they can have there accounts deleted, IP addresses blocked. Even fined in some countries

[twilit lintel]

no wonder some ppl can bypass a shield

[twilit lintel]

so kirishara i the name eh

[muted cape]

Tbh many people who think players are using bots are actually just using Kir’Shira

[strong hamlet]

If u checked the videos posted while back, it was clearly not kirishara. Every kill had 3-4sec delay

[twilit lintel]

so easy to get pass that tho

[strong hamlet]

Constantly. All the time. Kiri doesnt do that. Nor human. For hours

[twilit lintel]

not the account

the ip ban

[muted cape]

VPNs a bit dodgy in UK since that 18+ internet law

[twilit lintel]

good thing im not in the uk lol

[paper raptor]

Ours was 3 mining ships returning to the exact same nodes every 3/4 seconds as multiple people took turns killing them for over an hour.

[civic geyser]

Normally discussion is frowned upon

[muted cape]

https://tenor.com/view/wow-south-park-gif-26992332

Never heard of a no lifer?

[strong hamlet]

Yup still if he was plaing. Why there was always a delay between kills. Always same time

[twilit lintel]

if u gotta cheat on this game you are no real star trek fan

[muted cape]

Many non-UK sites have started banning UK users, rather then comply with UK law they supply deny us access 😏

[paper raptor]

3/4 seconds like clockwork, same ships to same nodes

What “human” is going to do that over just moving to a different system? I can tell you, NONE

[muted cape]

STFC has it easy 🤣

[twilit lintel]

that sucks

[muted cape]

Almost 2 million bots banned

[twilit lintel]

another 20 mill.ion to go

take 1 down 5 more pop up

thats what mpaa dont get either lol

[muted cape]

It’s still a problem today, back then the bots crashed the in game market. Expensive items became worthless.

I lost over 80 million coins 😂

[twilit lintel]

ohhhhhhhh its that kinda bot

lowers stfc item pricers in checkout?

[muted cape]

This is why scopely afraid of adding a market place to STFC

[twilit lintel]

i can see why

[humble orbit]

Enough with the bot discussion. It's not allowed in the ToS. File a ticket with CS if you believe someone's breaking it.

[twilit lintel]

oh mu bad

[dull mason]

Old school cheat codes, from gaming show's or magazines we're a god send, to player's
Ie: max inventory, level skip, power ups etcetera

[muted cape]

Not real money market, OSRS/RS3 has a trade market, a stock exchange where you can buy items or sell useless junk

[twilit lintel]

barn shhhhh no more cheat talkin lol

[muted cape]

although the bots brought about illegal real world transactions which is why botting is banned

In any game

[dull mason]

Tv series Game's Master etc were brilliant

[twilit lintel]

guys u should really read this and stop talkin about bots

candle not jokin

but thanks for the info i didnt know about

[muted cape]

Those where built in by the developers

[twilit lintel]

was that a uk shiow

[muted cape]

All the greats are UK

USA ones copy other countries

[twilit lintel]

only game master i know is from an anima called yu yu Hakuho and a little boy with powers who play games is called game master lol

[dull mason]

I have VHS recordings somewhere of the gaming show's ( cheat codes) and I still have the free books given with Gaming magazines 👍🏼🤣

[twilit lintel]

i rem when Official PlayStation Magazine used to have game demos in their magazines

than a year later it ended

[round ember]

I was actually in the audience for filming that one day

[twilit lintel]

These magazines began phasing out demo discs in the mid-to-late 2000s

[dull mason]

Omg 😳 no way 📺👁️

[round ember]

Yeah, it was cool. Unfortunately didn't get a chance to meet the Games Mistress

[twilit lintel]

do i have the right ct and ft on?

[humble orbit]

There are better FTs.

[twilit lintel]

prob those i dont got LOL

like what lol

[humble orbit]

Mine is holding metreon because I want the fights over asap and pushing damage output is the key to that.

[twilit lintel]

i see

and if u have a san what ft should be on thatg

[humble orbit]

Most of my efforts would be spent trying to support the reliant because I strongly prefer an autogrind solution. If you have excess power, then the sanctus could use metreon instead, it's one of the better pve FTs. It can hold one of the other pve FTs, or even something like tantalus field for just the hhp.

Generally though, the goal of a non-reliant ship would be to supply the splicers that the reli couldn't. If your reli can only get up to rare, then I'd put enough power onto the sanctus to get the epic. This can be done pve or pvp. I prefer to hunt surveys with a vemet crew, but you have options.

[twilit lintel]

tbh im doing this just to get this quest done and over

[fallow otter]

COTA scoring updates are BS, making harder to score points, thanks for that, looks like i will be adding that to the ignore event pile.

[twilit lintel]

and what happened to the Q button

im not in an outpost rn

[twilit lintel]

why go there when the q button was in the right place

[spring mason]

Should I buy the ferengi pass or the normal battle pass?

[twilit lintel]

this outpost is makin me mad i swear

[brave epoch]

They will change it back and use it as heroes for listening to us. If they ever listened they would know to give people a heads up well before the change was implemented, instead of this rollercoaster of gaslighting

[hot nacelle]

Look another bug 🐛

[humble orbit]

What quest?

[twilit lintel]

when will we get rare mats?

[naive escarp]

when was the last bonus refinery?

[humble orbit]

If you're crewing for that mission, you'll need to use a crew.

[twilit lintel]

i need rep to get there

[humble orbit]

Okay, that's fine then.

[twilit lintel]

so i need to get tons of rep

which means i need to autogrind

and i dont know the right crew for my toer lvlv and which system to go to

[humble orbit]

Keep hitting higher until you run out of reasonable capability.

[rough delta]

These outposts are not worth the time or effort it's takes to do them and the rewards don't seem worth anything

Maybe it's just me who knows

[dull mason]

I remember demo cassettes 🤣
@twilit lintel

[twilit lintel]

before my time

what 1980's?

[kindred echo]

When are solo waves going to be fixed? <@&509690795536941056> started one, instantly kicked out, game quit, restarted ships back in dock needing repair and credits gone. Not good enough

[twilit lintel]

https://tenor.com/view/yu-yu-hakusho-yyh-yusuke-yusuke-urameshi-gif-26268817

[dull mason]

I'm 💯%
In agreement with that,
It's completely out of order..
Wave's are buggy as 🪲h ell

[jade stream]

you need to add a second question, and how much rare you can get

the idea of outposts was cool, the reality is very disappointing

[rough delta]

The time and effort for them are not worth it

[jade stream]

totally agree

[rough delta]

Wether your doing the 60 s or 50;s to much

[twilit lintel]

well group outpost is com ing next month

[civic geyser]

This arc is basically a catch up arc as not much else to do

[rough delta]

Least other aspects of stfc are still enjoyable

[merry tree]

tough to find anything that bloody works atm you mean

[dull mason]

I remember when Rare character's are FULLY UNLOCKED Each time with an Arc, or you can get a full Ship unlock with each Arc,

Sadly Not so with the last few years,

[twilit lintel]

its not the transogen is it lol

[jade stream]

we have big whales g7 in our server who have g6 epics maxed, cube maxed and 500bil vengeance and still doing outposts lvl63, how are g6 players supposed to do lvl70?

[rough delta]

The epic transo gives good rewards in refinary

That's about it for transo tho lol

[jade stream]

i am ops69 and was hoping with this outpost refinery to help me a bit with materials, instead i am getting a few crumbs of 5*

[strong hamlet]

u need to lvl the outpost

💳

[jade stream]

i am not giving them money lol, whats the point of spending money to get just a few materials

[twilit lintel]

99.99

plus 15% scopley fee

[rough delta]

Let's Hope everything everyone wants will be in dec refinary

Free

[jade stream]

i saw grifin on stream live leveled his building to get 7* materials and all he got was 20 7* materials, all those money for nothing

[merry tree]

little sympathy if you're still spending tbh

[rough delta]

All this stuff people spend money on may be fee in dec arc

Always is

Certain aspects

[twilit lintel]

ughhh time to mine transogen

[dull mason]

#Annoying 😒

[jade stream]

they still haven’t added any of the ship parts for reliant or gs-31 at ferengi store, coz ofc for dauntless and squall is too soon but for other 2 have been alot now

if they want to add more loops at least add something at IA to master some of ships so wont need to grind anymore

[dull mason]

Sadly no reliant BP's or T space Ship BP's or S-31 BP's

[twilit lintel]

just wait till next month when the new ship is coming

[jade stream]

yes another grind

[twilit lintel]

well stfc is a fighhting space game

[civic geyser]

Gotta pay for the Christmas party
