It lags or needs a refresh, yeah they never did fix that, or keeps breaking

[toxic kiln]

not the usall lag. no progress at all, 1 hour ago

[subtle vortex]

if you want us to kill 100+ hostiles for this silly apex barrier daily you need to up the hostile spawn rate massively

[kindred echo]

<@&509690795536941056> faction store issue is still happening on iOS

[gray lintel]

You tried logout then login or just waited

[queen jolt]

chunk can you send me your player ID in dms

[mortal canyon]

Hitting my level is about 2-3m Apex mitigated per shot and only 15 rounds so just isn't enough for the 3bn per point you want.

Would require me to kill 100 hostiles so isn't easy when the hard is only 10 hostiles

Needs to be looked at and amended for next run, and a comp go out to anyone that doesn't complete it today <@&509690795536941056>

Many thanks otherwise its an interesting and engaging mechanic in the short term and rewarding long term

[kindred echo]

Sent, thanks

[toxic kiln]

yes , i rest few times . no change <@&509690795536941056>

[hidden python]

Yeah Ops 69 is mitigating nearly 1T with apex and I haven't gotten one point yet from 3 hostiles....

[toxic kiln]

not gaining dailies chest progress by claiming the dailies. was more than hour ago, reset several times. android and pc<@&509690795536941056>

[pulsar thorn]

Took me 3 trips punching up. About 2-3 points. Not fun.

[cinder shadow]

I know some people are struggling with the new hostile challenges so wanted to share this graphic that I made for my Alliance... different crews needed for the two challenges. Hope it helps 😄

APAC?

[toxic kiln]

yes

[weary mango]

yes Pauly apac😂

[queen jolt]

lol cryo whachu doin to startrekfrik

[sweet root]

Try adding pelia underdeck to give the enemy major apex barrier, that will extend your rnds per fight and give more apex mitigation points

[weary mango]

I didn't do anythinggggg🤣

[toxic kiln]

you also have same issue?

[weary mango]

just popped on what's the issue?

yes I touch grass ok😂

[hidden python]

The agony booth would help but the game doesn't give enough fusion rods to change forbidden tech daily

[queen jolt]

if cryo is here and not rioting, this might be a isolated lag case

[weary mango]

yea mine is fine

dailies still scoring fine

[weary mango]

I rioted 6 hours ago😉

[toxic kiln]

daileies, scored, i colected all, but no progress with chests

[rough flower]

This isnt fun.. with this apex damage quest..

[weary mango]

think it'll show in an HR or so, it happened to a lot of us across many servers yesterday

[mortal canyon]

What crew are you using Karkun, will try but clearly the numbers are wrong when the easy task is more grindy than the hard

[cinder shadow]

Yeah, there are different ways to go about it, but the general strategy is to either neutralise their crit damage if you want to beat them, or to prolong the fight with as much apex barrier, hull and shield regen as possible if you want to mitigate more damage through apex barrier 👍

[sage birch]

No Arc Codes??

[mortal canyon]

So you reckon the numbers are right, just need high levels of crew jitsu?

Either way not easy....

[main dove]

VGER

[cinder shadow]

A lot will depend on relative strength of each player, level of officers, research, etc... no doubt they are tough new hostiles but not impossible. Initially I only got 1 point per hostile for the apex barrier mitigation challenge but when I changed crew I was getting 20+ so was easier

[nocturne mango]

I sincerely hope you guys get the game you deserve from scopely, unfortunately I doubt it so,I’ve decided to quit altogether now. LLAP 🖖🏻

[hidden python]

My ship blows up after 33 rounds but if I swap out Seska for Tucker I go the full 100 rounds and barely take dmg meaning I can keep hitting the sane hostile for apex mitigation and not have a sigma trit repair bill over 10 times

[keen wraith]

I've focused on iso damage, but I can't kill a l69 hostile with my best ship (borg cube maxed for ops 69). I only last a few rounds. If you have crewing suggestions, I'd be all ears.

[hidden python]

Gets me 4 points per attack but it saves on the repair bill at least

[sage birch]

Is there a below Lv51 code or one code for all?

[hidden python]

Check his post a bit higher up

[sweet root]

Pike annorax trip w blt, wok carol, kim, pic hugh, pelia (for mitigation daily take off pelia for kills) - use highest hull health ship.

[hidden python]

Janeway, Suder, Tucker on that cube with same BD as yesterday's hostiles

I'm Ops 69 with a 18.8b cube and can do 10 lvl 69 hostiles in one hull very easy doing that

[main dove]

Not sure, they haven't actually announced the VGER one so will have to wait to till they actually announce something

[keen wraith]

I don't take a lot of crit damage, so not sure if this will help, but I'll give it a try.

[cinder shadow]

Small tweaks to crew can make huge difference. Here's a great example... in my first attempt I took about 40% hull damage, but then I released I forget hull breach so I swapped a below deck officer for Torres... for my second attempt I took less than 10% hull damage. The only change I made was Torres, who gave me extra 20% hull regen from my ExBorg favour. This crew got me c.20-25 points in the apex mitigation challenge because the fight went 100 rounds and I took a lot of damage (which was mostly regenerated).

[foggy parrot]

Thanks, you should sign it somewhere - credit where credit is due 👍

[dull mason]

#GameOver for me
It just won't OPEN...
😠👎🏼

[mortal canyon]

Yeah great idea...but for my ship not enough hull went the 100 rounds partial thing but only got 3pts and couldn't do it a 2nd time 😅

Thanks for the help though

[sweet root]

Take off pelia to kill, have her on only for mit daily

[hidden python]

Using the mitigation crew I was helping other players out by taking the hostiles down to like 1% hull 😂

[arctic iris]

5B damage mitigated with apex for 1 point, what typoe of tasks are these...

also if your going to do this stuff you might want to finally update the filter list

[tidal girder]

The adjusting arc for year of hell, Part 2

[warm pivot]

its boring, first they reduce our apex barrier and then they expect us to defend with it for the daily points... 😴

guess it will take about 8 hulls

[civic geyser]

Not sure I have another month of being disappointed by scopley in me

[arctic iris]

meh was gonna try the NSEA but it cant reach the zone im needed to hit

[cinder shadow]

Try something like this... over 50bn damage mitigated with apex barrier in this example... 3bn needed per 1 challenge point (at my ops level) so 17pts from this one fight. General principle is prolong the fight (e.g. apex barrier, hull and shield regen).

[arctic iris]

Hmm revs a good shout

[hidden locust]

i swapped sudder for annorax and janeway cap still. rachel below too. did fine

[mortal canyon]

Killing 10 was the easy part.

Tested quite a few your Pike crew got me the most as I was able to get the 2nd partial.

When I get bigger ships the event will become easier with more hull health.

But still the figures are too high this isn't Easy task

[subtle vortex]

there may well be sweet spots with this tasks, I'm getting about 1/100 points every 4 kills hitting up to 70s as an ops 69

that is completely unsustainable

[hearty mauve]

Anyone want to take bets on what building will fix this next month? 😂

[proven bay]

Anybody having trouble with Meridian archive being unclaimable

[weary mango]

how about I bet U which buildings will break this month😂

[fickle sonnet]

<@&509690795536941056> can we get an answer to whether or not this apex daily is bugged? Cant be that i (ops 70) can finish it with one or 2 hostiles while nearly all others hitting their respective level or punching up cant seem to get more than one point per kill if even one point....

[weary mango]

this is the dumbest daily task in the history of the game

[weary mango]

spocks club?

[weary mango]

imagine my disappointment when I couldn't cheese the hostiles with enaran post ct

[fickle sonnet]

Well because its bugged lol. Cant complain as i finished it easily by doing the other task

[warm pivot]

that daily task remembers me of wormada eventscoring... take damage

maybe we should try a lesly crew and hit up like mad?

[lyric haven]

It's not bugged

[fickle sonnet]

Explains why same ops cant score more than 1 point but others can do it in a single hostile kill? Even when they are actually running apex barrier officers and the other one runs some random trip tucker crew? Ye right

[arctic iris]

was gonna say it dont look bugged

5B apex mitigated per point is just pathetic

[warm pivot]

wouldnt be so bad, if only the silents wouldnt reduce the apex barrier by 90%

[tiny ivy]

same ship same crew versus 70s, ops 69 needs 100 hostiles and ops 70 2. it is bugged somewhere

[opaque comet]

there are 3 artifacts, when using all with corresponding effects, you get 3k barrier ootb

[weary mango]

this will be fun

seems Joachim is just being overworked for these hostiles again

[lyric haven]

Ops 70 is absorbing more damage and surviving, allowing regen to 'fluff' a lot of damage for points.

Random ops 69 'Ben' players are dying

[weary mango]

I saw my name👀

[tiny ivy]

funky is struggling and i was done in a few hostiles

[lyric haven]

You're reducing the main source of damage in a 'damage taken' event

[tiny ivy]

i only wanted to kill them, the gorn 70s yesterday hurt a lot more so i went with my best crew

[lyric haven]

Kill and barrier are different strategies

[fallow sorrel]

i'm not struggling to kill. i can punch up 2 lvls higher. my problem is the apex barrier daily scoring

[tiny ivy]

yeah struggling with the daily

[warm pivot]

you know the big jump from 65 to 66, and 69 to 70 is an even bigger jump
but the scaling in points per billion is almost the same

[tiny ivy]

i was done in one run

[lyric haven]

Ditch the crit chance/damage reduction strat, and absorb it

[tiny ivy]

i haven't done anything at 70

[plucky roost]

Whoever decided that after claiming something in the faction store, the screen should then move back to the Fed faction store each time - absolute genius. Here I was thinking I needed to spend more time claiming stuff in the morning

Thanks, Scopely!

[lyric haven]

Shields dropping, dead. Plus Doc for standard mit kinda questionable considering the standard/iso ratio of these.

Perhaps a shield regen rig would help

To absorb damage

[weary mango]

anno seska suder

[tiny ivy]

mate i didn't even have to think about it, funky tried every variation

[fallow sorrel]

@tiny ivy

now hear me out. this is a log from an ops72, that completed his apex barrier daily with 1 kill.

https://spocks.club/battlelog/?bl=2e3abcf3-b157-4d1f-ad32-a53574a79321

you are telling me an ops72 finished his daily with just 19bil barrier?

[weary mango]

then below run wok caril

wait how do y'all do that

[fallow sorrel]

the scoring is clearly broken for ops 64 to 69

[tiny ivy]

our ops 71 was done with one battle on a 72, mitigated 59b

[tiny ivy]

yep

[arctic iris]

thats the only bug, where some people are able to complete 100 points in 1 hit where as the rest of us get 1 point per X amount our task states

[fallow sorrel]

it is only affecting ops64 to 69

[tiny ivy]

i have the feeling that you should only have to mitigate 9b total

[fallow sorrel]

63 and below can score in 1 hit

70+ can score in 1 hit

[weary mango]

I had to do like 40 runs lol

granted half of them was me testing crews

[civic geyser]

No daily is worth that

[arctic iris]

Do they have it saying do 5b damage Points for 1pt or 100 pts?

[tiny ivy]

9b for one point apprently, i assume it should be 100 points for that

[weary mango]

definitely not

[fallow sorrel]

no idea about other and most that are patronizing here about having wrong crew arent able to show their target needed as they have already completed and collected the rewards

[weary mango]

but good thing is

I'm never doing it again🤣

[lyric haven]

K yeah, odd, I'll concede

[fallow sorrel]

this is what it says for me

[weary mango]

9b for me too

[lyric haven]

Can't comment on 72+ scoring, but g6 did as expected and stated

[arctic iris]

the Task is a joke, i could have finished 100% of my other dailies in the time it took me to finish that 1 task, and I would have done it all with 1 ship compaired to the several hulls i had to burn to finish that.
This is the crew i used anyway

[tiny ivy]

two of the other 70s i talked to were done in one hit too

[arctic iris]

before switching to the rev i was killing the hostile in 4 rounds so it was talking a lifetime to get 1pt for the task

[fallow sorrel]

in actuality the task is bugged for everyone else who are completing it one hit. cuz if it requires 9bil x 100 for me, it must require more for ops70+. so technically it's bugged scoring for them

[tiny ivy]

yeah maybe, but i hope it's bugged to make it harder. I don't want to do what you have been doing lol

[queen jolt]

funky!

[gentle raft]

I was going for more damage

And finished with 20 attacks going 100 rounds

[fallow sorrel]

all the whales are 70+ and pretty sure this scoring issue will be ignored and will repeat next week. only if some content creator was in the 64 to 69 bracket? 🤔

[weary mango]

too bad rev is 63😂

we need a cc that doesn't suck up to scopely and is within the ops bracket

[civic geyser]

Starting to wish I’d stayed there and was even thinking of ops up 😂 before this

[lyric haven]

Log not coinciding with ss, seeing 33b barrier. But the point stands I suppose

[fallow sorrel]

there were two tabs open, from two different ops72. i might have screenshotted one and linked another

but both completed it 1 single shot

[lyric haven]

Yea I get it. Guess my point is, it's stil doable in g6 with a strat adjustment

Tucker ain't it, we need that dmg

[fallow sorrel]

whatevery adjustment you do. it wont cross 35bil apex barrier. divide that by 900bil total target. that is still 25 deaths and 25 times warping back

[arctic iris]

<@&509690795536941056> 's are rather silent over it though 😂

[fallow sorrel]

pretty sure they dont even know what the actual problem is

math is hard

[lyric haven]

Absolutely it can

[leaden meadow]

Ben streams right? Ops64 xD

[fallow sorrel]

you must not be in the affected ops bracket. good for you

[lyric haven]

68

[fallow sorrel]

show me how much max apex barrier you can get by killing a lvl69 silent

[lapis marten]

Use your ship with the biggest hull health and let it die on hostiles. I’ve been throwing my rel with this crew at 68s so getting about 6-10 points per battle. By dropping state procs and crit enhancing officers, plus anything that reduces their damage like phlox, I’m forcing 83 round battles which means more apex barrier per fight. Just stacked shield and health enhancing officers below deck plus hull repair

[lyric haven]

Looking at avg 300m (low estimate) per shot, 4 weapons, 3 guns per, 20+ rounds. 70m ish?

Edited: m, not b

[fallow sorrel]

show logs

[lyric haven]

Can't export, but I'll do my best

[fallow sorrel]

pfft

[tiny ivy]

can you go full hull repair and throw pelia below?

[leaden meadow]

I was able, with some help from my alliance, to get to 20 points per hull so 5 trips
Maybe not the ideal setup but worked okay-ish on the 67s

[lapis marten]

No Pelia, they’ll increase their apex barrier and kill you

[tiny ivy]

that's the idea (minus the dying)

[fallow sorrel]

the problem is lvl69, i can punch down below and get a higher apex barrier on smaller hostiles with a rela or revenant. but my ops requires me to kill lvl69 or it doesnt register the apex barrier

[lapis marten]

Fair point, but not if they kill you faster. Depends on how long you survive I suppose

[leaden meadow]

Annorax/suder/seska on bridge
Torres kim garrett pic hugh BOM'benga naga (save my trit)
No mitigation or iso defense

[lyric haven]

Was a 70. 3 shots, 4 guns, 21 rounds. It checks out.

[tiny ivy]

yeah that's why i said full hull repair. Something like pike suder anno on a rela might do the trick

[leaden meadow]

Leslie crew might work better

[tiny ivy]

true, leslie could work too

[lyric haven]

300m was a low/safe estimate

[lapis marten]

I found my battles were shorter with Annorax instead of Leslie. And I was only scoring one point per hostile. I’m not killing 100 of these things so I’m getting creative 😂

[leaden meadow]

That level requirement is only for the easy task, hard tasks shouldn't have level requirement
I was able to score on 65 hostiles as op67 before, not a lot but it still scored

Brother I need more crew presets if every single day is going to require a very specific setup

[fallow sorrel]

it has. 69-74 for me

[fallow sorrel]

crew and ship?

[arctic iris]

your only absorbing 424M damage with apex there from a crit, that will not give you enough in 21 rounds to do 5-9B damage absorbed x100 points to finish in 1 hit

[lapis marten]

Yep still has a level requirement on the excelsior daily. I forgot Garrett was apex barrier below deck. That might have cut my task down further 🙈

I’ve enjoyed the puzzle of this stuff so kudos scopely, you’ve given me something to think about. I like it 😍

[lyric haven]

On a single shot. Of which there are 12 in a round of 21 rounds

[fast viper]

Just because someone’s 70. Doesn’t mean they’re a whale. I’m 70. And I cannot kill a 70. Because I don’t have godsend and slipstream. I believe this is what’s killing the game. It’s no longer fun

[fallow sorrel]

10 trillion apex barrier if i drop down

https://spocks.club/battlelog/?bl=acb327db-9ccf-475f-b0a6-c0a686cbba5b

[arctic iris]

you would still need a total of 500B-900B absorbed by Apex

[leaden meadow]

Now make the scoring 10 times lower so I don't have to spend half an hour warping and dying over and over for a measly 100 credits and points for the track so we can only just pull the ship bps
Dangit scopely
I'm not against having to properly crew but the time investment is not worth the reward
And my poor sigma trit

[fallow sorrel]

Rela?

[lyric haven]

So what, 6-10 hits at 5B per point is what it took. 5 mins n done, couple per hull? Lot less time than this convo took

[lyric haven]

Rela

[covert reef]

Yeah, that’s not worked

[leaden meadow]

That doesn't say anything, we're trying to score for the daily, killing or not killing the hostile doesn't matter

[covert reef]

Didn’t score a single point

[fast viper]

One daily does require actually killing 10.

[leaden meadow]

Now repeat x100 haha

[lapis marten]

Is that just for the 10 kills, not the apex barrier task for the excelsior? I used a different crew for that. Chang trip phlox with state procs/crits

[leaden meadow]

Yeah I meant a specific daily sry
The regular daily is fairly easy

[lyric haven]

Back to shields down = dead. Gotta absorb that dmg

[leaden meadow]

10 kills is easy, apex barrier task is way too steep
I can do 10 kills in 2 minutes no prob, a lot easier than the gorn one

[fast viper]

I cannot kill the 70’s require because I do not have godsend and slipstream. But I can smoke the 69’s. It’s not easy for everyone

[lapis marten]

Yeah the apex barrier mitigated was harder to figure out

[lapis marten]

I had metreon cascade on my cube against the 70s when I tested those. I think I put temporal conduit on as well and dropped Torres in favour of more iso cascade damage below as well. But they were only scoring 1pt per hostile because battles were shorter and had less apex barrier mitigated

[leaden meadow]

I meant in my situation, didn't mean to speak for everyone, although I suspect I could kill 1 or 2 70s at ops67 without godsend or slipstream drive

[fallow sorrel]

but are the lvl69 hostiles scoring for apex barrier at ops70?

[fast viper]

We have a really really strong 68 in our alliance. He can kill them with the slip stream and godsend. But cannot without

[fallow sorrel]

managed 3 trillion apex barrier mitigation on lvl69 hostile with a tier14 Relativity

https://spocks.club/battlelog/?bl=d27d2bee-1b99-4597-9977-58d07f80a2fe

[fast viper]

Nope. I have to hit a 70.

[arctic iris]

tried the same was only 42B

[fickle sonnet]

Thats the hostiles damage mitigated by apex 🤣 . Yours is 53 bil

[warm venture]

you need to check the value under your ship...the 3T are the apex barrier of the hostile not yours

[fallow sorrel]

i'm on the damage taken tab

[fickle sonnet]

Yes damage taken BY the hostiles apex barrier

[fallow sorrel]

aah, sorry

[lapis marten]

That was mine with the temporal conduit and metreon. Lower decks as well. I’ve played with so many crews I’m getting confused about what I used 😂

[lyric haven]

Silent have no barrier. C'mon guys

[fickle sonnet]

Some1 explain to me how THAT finished the task in one hostile lol (lv 70)

[lapis marten]

Yep they have none

[fickle sonnet]

They do if you run snw anywhere 🤣 🤣

[fallow sorrel]

scoring is bugged

[leaden meadow]

Mathn't
Someone in my alliance also finished it super quick even though it should've scored 1 point

[lapis marten]

It’s officers to increase your apex barrier for the 100pt task, not reducing theirs

[fallow sorrel]

i know. looked at the wrong place. too many windows open. this daily task has frustrated most of us

[warm venture]

happened to me too, when I first checked my logs for that task 😅

[ebon viper]

Anyone else having issues with faction store since update? I collect and always sends me back to fed store

[warm venture]

seems to be a new feature on iOS (at least I only have this on my iPad)

[unique frigate]

You need update the app

[fallow sorrel]

it was a bug on iOS. an hotfix was released. check for update

[ebon viper]

I did. Is there one since last night?

[lapis marten]

It’s for this task

[unique frigate]

A second one yep, had the problem also before

[ebon viper]

Thx

[fallow sorrel]

if that is the case, mark it heroic and say the entire Challenge track is paid as well

[lyric haven]

You mean the same one everyone else without excel has, that we've been discussing for an hour. Gotcha

[lapis marten]

Yeah sorry I just realised that wasn’t the excelsior task. My bad

[leaden meadow]

Scopely really gets off on biiiig numbers
What do numbers even mean

[leaden meadow]

Comes down to crewing, am an okay-ish 67 without godsend or slipstream
This will score terribly for the apex barrier daily but should make the 10 kills possible at 70

[lyric haven]

Idk I finished before trying SNW cheese. Next run. Just tryna help with strat for the g6 that may or may not be unaffected by a potential bug for higher ops.

It's doable

[paper swallow]

<@&509690795536941056> are we going to get a comp chest with the missing points for the weekly challenge and the events for the non working iso dmg daily from yesterday?

[lapis marten]

It is definitely doable, it just needs a bit of creative crewing. For me, getting that task done involved reducing my crits and damage, and focusing on repair, hull health and shield health officers only

[fast viper]

I have really good crews. Really good research. Still cannot

[fickle sonnet]

The ability only counts vs the summoned ones though, no?

[lyric haven]

I tried the same. Adjusted crew cuz barrier was junk, didn't need kills

[lapis marten]

No I did that against regular 68s. Haven’t done my summoning yet

[leaden meadow]

Dang leave some women for the rest of us man

[paper swallow]

As an ops 69 the best option I found so far is t15 cube with janeway/trip/annorax and hitting 70s. Can do 10ish per trip with 1 point each so 10 trips. No good but better than the early days of aggregate hostiles

[fickle sonnet]

Yes but the ability dont work against non summoned ones. So you cant use the ability vs the silent hostiles

[delicate cargo]

No wonder players are quitting by the thousands with these ridiculous events. 😂 wtg.

[lapis marten]

Which ability im confused 🙈

[fickle sonnet]

The excelsiors ridiculous apex barrier vs the summons

[rustic trail]

*Goes look at SBG’s roster 🤣

[lapis marten]

Ahhh ok fair enough. I did 54s with the excelsior last night. Killed a 59 I summoned but needed 3 hits 🤢 I didn’t use the excelsior against the 68s or 70s, I tested and did it with the cube and relativity

[rustic trail]

Voyager?

[thorny sedge]

Dear developers . How I should close this mission to liking 4 summoning ships in Indaego system? Are you joking 🙃
With best crew and best ship at 60 lvl it’s no possible .
So what to do ? 🤷‍♂️

Send compassion then , wtf?…🙄

[main turtle]

I'm so confused with this apex barrier daily I can maybe get 2 points for it a death

[fickle sonnet]

Voyager 2.0 🤣

[rustic trail]

🤣

[arctic iris]

why you trying to hit that without the new ship?

[rustic trail]

Yeapp definitely the wrong ship

[fickle sonnet]

You cant do the mission without the new ship. Well maybe if you got a vengeance or so but even theb

[rustic trail]

Imagine taking the enterprise into voyager space 🤣

[rustic trail]

🙄 was that the 100$ bundle sir

[rigid orchid]

67 vger hostiles not spawning for me

[thorny sedge]

Cause i am not spend any $ here , I am f2p .
And in this case they should think about players who is not buying new ship for 100$ .

[flat knoll]

just wait 190 days then to do that missons and stop crying

[fickle sonnet]

hmmmm

[lapis marten]

There was a mission for free to play, it was just that they gave us an extra planetary mission for people with the ship

[rustic trail]

Scopely doesn’t think about anything but there pockets

Welcome to the mobile gaming industry

[spring mason]

Get all bps f2p? Which mission

[lapis marten]

Haha no chance. I bought the ship, I could do the mission. Park it until you unlock it free to play 🤷‍♀️ it’s not like people will miss out on it, you’ll just get the rewards later

[spring mason]

Yeah see you in 100 days lmao

[warm venture]

Part 3 of that planetary mission (which requires the Excelsior to complete) is required for the "Complete new missions" SMS though 😅

[hushed kite]

well it would be nice if the event to complete missions didn't include the paywalled mission 😄

[lapis marten]

Seriously? I hadn’t even noticed that 🙈

[warm venture]

yep

That's the planetary mission

[lapis marten]

They’ll have to adjust it and autocomplete the event. That happened previously as well with some other ship or building, can’t remember which

[warm venture]

me neither, but yes, definitely not the first time this happened

[civic geyser]

Wasn’t it khan ?

[lapis marten]

Could be

[tiny ivy]

there was a mission to defeat a champion

[fallow sorrel]

cant wait for the majority of U.S. players to wake up and complain about the Apex Barrier daily 😂

[tiny ivy]

https://tenor.com/view/holding-down-the-fort-cat-gif-13479341940513108851

maybe they'll fix it by then

[lapis marten]

Let’s hope they don’t go through the pain that some of my server mates went through and have to hit 100 hostiles. No way was I doing that 😂

[fallow sorrel]

not sure the goal would be changed for current run. the max they will do is offer a chest with comp points equal to that task for challenge track.

[lapis marten]

Yeah they won’t change the goal. But hopefully they will work out a way of crewing for it that makes it quicker. On the crew tests I did I was scoring anything between 6-10pts per kill once I figured out that I was crewing wrong

[spring mason]

Mostly eu players online now? Don’t look at the time, so tell me lol

[lapis marten]

Yeah 1.20pm in the UK

Which reminds me, lunch break over and back to the grindstone 🙈

[leaden meadow]

No way any dev tested it though, at least on a non-maxed account without the new ship
Not a single dev knows what crews do what

[fallow sorrel]

yeah, close to night time in APAC. so it's mostly EU. another 2~3 hrs for the U.S. west coast to come online

[kind dragon]

I see the apex damage is a bit of an issue for many lol

[forest socket]

How can one see how much Apex Barrier a Ship has?

[fast viper]

No boosts. I most be having problems with crit form hostile.

[jolly aurora]

Is the apex barrier challenge task broken today like the iso one was broken yesterday?

[fallow sorrel]

Archer is of no use there. use Annorax to increase Apex barrier

[slate harness]

has this been addressed yet? <@&509690795536941056> one point per kill isn't right

[fast viper]

Annorax and janeway didn’t work. Unless they nerfed the hostile. I’m assuming archer boosted trip enough to help

[lapis marten]

Or try chang as captain with trip and phlox. Chang needs crits and hull breach so Torres and Borg Hugh maybe, or tech wise metreon cascade and temporal conduit

[fallow sorrel]

try Annorax/Trip/Phlox

[fast viper]

That didn’t work. I tried.

[lapis marten]

If trip and phlox aren’t maxed, maybe swap Chang for Pike to see if you can boost their abilities a bit more

[hushed kite]

Phlox seem to do basically nothing against these new silents, at least my non-maxed one

[fast viper]

Trip is max. Phlox is 2 or 3

[lofty snow]

there's multiple scenarios .... 1) punch up, equip the most apex barrier you can and prolong the fight as much as you can, 2) go as low as daily allows you to (your ops), and chip away with very few points/kill, but less hull repairs/trips, 3) compromise between 1-2 🙂 There's no universal solution for everyone. For me the Annorax, Seska, Suder crew worked the best while punching up 2-3 levels - finished the challenge in 3 hulls in 10mins (including warp times)

[slate harness]

cant punch up only scores in specific ops lvl system

[hushed kite]

apparently ignore the system requirement for apex barrier daily, only the level range of hostiles is relevant for completion

[lapis marten]

I found without him they were doing only crit shots every round from round 2 onwards. Using phlox bought me some rounds where I didn’t take any crit shots at all. My phlox is maxed so if yours isn’t then finding a way to boost him a bit might help. Hence pike 😎

[lofty snow]

nope, my challenge specifies single lvl60 system, I finished it in 62 and 63 systems

anyway, it should be emphasized, that hostiles aren't the problem, the challenge requirement/milestones is - so live ops again

[lyric haven]

Or perhaps Tucker. No round limit and these fire enough to cap him

[pallid saffron]

Scopley messed up again nobody is going to finish the apex task today

[vagrant vapor]

i finished it, in way too many trips, and it needs to be scaled better in the future imo

not doing that again 😂

[ashen briar]

It's a pain in the rear today 🙄

[fast viper]

It worked. But worse. Boosting trip helps more

[vagrant vapor]

yeah, the apex daily very poorly scaled

[leaden meadow]

That's not how captain abilities work :p only the captain's ability is boosted with synergy
Since archer has a loot boost vs xindi he does nothing aside from his officer ability

[pallid saffron]

Yep I would have to kill 100 level 72s to finish that garbage

We just don’t have enough things to mitigate apex

[vagrant vapor]

i only had to kill around 40 level 70s 😂

[fast viper]

Then I should have done better adding a cap ability. But I did worse

[lapis marten]

Yep Annorax and Archer do nothing to boost trip or phlox. You would need tng picard or pike to boost them

[lapis marten]

The captain ability for Annorax is a loot boost to the hostile chests for certain hostiles. It’s an ability that isn’t helping here

[twilit lintel]

am i the only one that has a glitch?

[vagrant vapor]

no, it's the two new dailies/challenges. when they are completed it goes away

also needs to be fixed for future client updates

[kind dragon]

No

[twilit lintel]

thought i was going crazy i puilled all chest lol

[dusky bone]

What crew for mitigation for these vger silent? Nothing is working

[rustic trail]

Yes 🙌

[weary narwhal]

Any new redeem code ?

[vagrant vapor]

janeway captain, annorax, suder on deck, rachel garret and maybe mirror uhura below deck

[unique gust]

I completed the apex mitigation task, but it took over 35 trips (ops 69), spending sigma tritanium every time. It took 3h, lots of trial/error, many different crews tested... I cannot see myself doing that twice a week for the next three months. Scaling must be reviewed.

[obtuse lantern]

snw cheese? 🙂

[vagrant vapor]

agony booth and chrono deflector has some apex barrier also

[unique gust]

RESONANCE (ops <51) or VGER (51+).

[vagrant vapor]

ops 66-69 seem to have drawn the short straw in this challenge

maybe others as well?

[weary narwhal]

Thx

[dusky bone]

No mirror uhura

[vagrant vapor]

she adds more apex barrier, that's all

[leaden meadow]

Could be attributed to rng perhaps, but trip's ability is not boosted by archer if archer is in the captain's seat
Only way to really boost officer abilities is with Picard or Pike

[obtuse lantern]

try using relativity instead of other ships, for me and some others worked perfectly fine (ship level 55 or more for ops 64 to 69 had good results with this ship on hostiles 64-69)

[lapis marten]

It was relativity that did jt for me. Slightly bigger hull than my cube

[timber valve]

Hard, not impossible.

[twilit lintel]

game glitchin again

now i cant even see my ship

nvm

[civic geyser]

It’s that tiny that’s why 😬

[twilit lintel]

i woud have said thats what she said but that would be talkin about me and ik that int true lol

[dusky bone]

One Little Ship

[mortal elk]

It's that little green bean... 😐

[twilit lintel]

ths system is huge

and boom i died

[obtuse lantern]

come back after you do the mitigation challenge 🙂

[twilit lintel]

how can i kill these ships i dont get it

[civic geyser]

What crew ?

[lapis marten]

That screenshot was from the gorn yesterday but also applies to the silents, and I assume hurak

[civic geyser]

No just no

[mortal elk]

are these the ships that specifically call out those officers? 😂

[twilit lintel]

seems like it

lets try it now

[scarlet hare]

Think scopely has forgotten that this game is supposed to be fun😔

[mortal elk]

it's meant to be profitable...

[scarlet hare]

Well right now they seem to be pushing more players out of the game each arc

[umbral vigil]

Any idea why I did the Apex Barrier daily in about 3 kills yesterday and today I'm on my 5th hull at 9/100!?

[twilit lintel]

hit one ship lol

maybe i should use my san lol

[glacial raft]

They don’t care about those low spenders and they know the end is near. 🪦

[vagrant vapor]

yesterday was iso damage, a completely different challenge

[lapis marten]

They added space for 8 new buildings in our bases. I suspect we’re nowhere near the end yet 😉

[umbral vigil]

Makes sense. I'm dying easier today than yesterday as well though which doesn't

[vagrant vapor]

different hostiles today also, need a different crew #🌌-galaxy-chat message

[umbral vigil]

Cheers 👍🏻

[vagrant vapor]

apex barrier daily is very poorly scaled though, so will take way too much time

[fast viper]

Having now hit 10 plus hostiles. I’m still doing better with archer, trip on side with annorax. So somehow it’s better than others. And working constantly. Not just rng

[iron sandal]

What the heck my eyes are seeing

The one and only zaba

How long can this go on if the play base is shrinking.

@queen jolt & @heady moon out on a drive 🤣

[twilit lintel]

i wonder if this wud help

[dull mason]

Have you been bluffing.?

[fallow sorrel]

that's shred. of no use. Annorax & Garrett are only ones with barrier against hostiles. Chrono Deflector, Agony Booth and Godsend are the tech

[dull mason]

Agony Booth, what a weird set of episode's that was 🤣

[dusky bone]

One hit no points, next hit 2, next hit 3. This is crazy

[west radish]

Are you telling me i have to scrap this like a revenant and do this horrible tiering again😭

I did not see this information anywhere

[lofty snow]

that's probably a visual error?

with a hostile that has a bajillion shred

[timber valve]

Whomever designed silent defensive, lower the goal to 10% of the current value. Doable for me but have to kill around 100-110 hostiles.

[night oxide]

LLAAAAAAAAGGGG

[fallow sorrel]

relax. its a very big comp chest they are pushing through and causing a load on the servers

[night oxide]

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-squarepants-bathroom-restroom-pooping-diarrhea-gif-620628100617957389

[twilit lintel]

i give up

even with cheese crew and a buff from cherr and titan this is as far i can go i even poped a combat exo and other exos

[hasty hemlock]

this shouldnt be a 100+ kill event

[twilit lintel]

but the strange thing is this other crew i used killed the ship but left me wit hardly any hp

[lofty snow]

it isn't, but requires some crew tweaks and strong ships for your level

[hasty hemlock]

also G6 freebooters now please, dailies time is skyrocketing with this addition

[main marten]

I (ops 70) did it in a single kill
My buddy (ops 58) took ~30

[hexed glacier]

@queen jolt I thought this debacle with the faction store was gonna get fixed.

[hasty hemlock]

it takes multiple kills to get 1 point towards the goal

[lofty snow]

it was, update your game

[twilit lintel]

might as well say this new daily is for g6,g7

[leaden meadow]

There's something buggy with scoring for 70+, it completes quickly even though according to log on spocks club it should give way less points
Someone in my alliance has that

[leaden meadow]

Many of our g5 players have done it with 5-7 points per kill after some crewing advice

[fallow sorrel]

it's easier for players with bad iso mitigation in general players who have maxed all iso defense tech, dont have much left to mitigate for the apex barrier to kick in. suffering from success 😂

[hasty hemlock]

ohh so is joachim below making this take longer

[fallow sorrel]

yes

[short pewter]

Any code?

[hasty hemlock]

good stuff, ill try without him (ops 67)

[fallow sorrel]

it's easier if you have a t14 rela

[hasty hemlock]

t13, halfway to 14 =/

[twilit lintel]

seems this crew works good for g5

[main marten]

What was the requirement per point? I didn't even look at the event, just went to do kills. Per shot I was getting between 20 and 500m mitigation for apex barrier. Most of them were right around 400m

[fallow sorrel]

give it a try. old Pike (c), Annorax, Suder. BDA Tores, Kim, Neelix, PIC hugh, Wok Carol, Nurse Chapel & Rachel Garrett. Agony Booth FT + Chrono Deflector CT

[twilit lintel]

gave me 19 points

and 1/10 points

[hasty hemlock]

awesome will try it, thank you. this has been brutal so far

[jaunty gate]

Hard to do the dailies without reds.

[fallow sorrel]

@queen jolt

[leaden meadow]

It depends on your ops level
I think 70+ was between 12 and 26B per point

[timber valve]

69 is 9 bil per point

[main marten]

Then definitely something weird. I should have gotten like 3 points (assuming 12b)

[marble shoal]

Lag is still unbearable

[exotic berry]

i have this too...where did we get this from?

[next dagger]

Game bugged and laggy. Very frustrating. I know....check known issues. Should rename it forgotten issues.

[twilit lintel]

g5

[wispy hatch]

so is this Year of Hell part 2?

[hushed kite]

free chest with mirror entry tokens in refinery, probably most of us haven't redeemed it for ages since there is max limit

[twilit lintel]

this was given to us as an automatic gift a for months ago

[covert reef]

My Rela is same, just below T14. I’m Op’s 67, should I stick to that or punch up with this crew?

[twilit lintel]

so i put an exo in its place so i could have that exo

[fallow sorrel]

Put janeway as captain and you could do the 68s

[exotic berry]

hahaha...completely forgot

[stark fjord]

Yay maxed ent-d

[hybrid sail]

This 100 mitigation is poor, going up 1 or 3 at a time...repair bill is high

68s are nails

[rocky escarp]

Year of Hell No

[covert reef]

I’ve burned through 200k sigma Trit so far, scored 70 points.

[hybrid sail]

That's poor do that...I'm not doing more

[warm pivot]

so, was there any official communication regarding the silent hostile daily?

[elfin loom]

Not yet

[stark fjord]

Is my enterprise -d awesome 😎

[warm pivot]

so just complains

[fathom river]

This Silent Apex Daily is BS. The good news is that with the lag, we can't do it regardless

[covert reef]

Only lasted 3 rounds against 68🤦🏻‍♂️

[timid hill]

Ben you are way underpowered. A max Ent-D should be at 3 bil

[warm pivot]

the contrast is too extreme, with gorn and just doing isolytic you are done after 1 hostile, but the apexdamage mitigation while your own apex is reduce to 1/10th is just stupid

[whole robin]

<@&509690795536941056> horrible lag on 701 last 5mins or so

[covert reef]

Doubt it, it’s probably working exactly as designed!

[timid hill]

So no it’s not awesome

[whole robin]

The lag comes in spikes

[hybrid sail]

Needs to be adjusted this silent one...I wanna see a message saying we have listened and have adjusted the daily

[whole robin]

Server will stop responding for up to 20+ s then work fine for a min

[rocky escarp]

Better get some announcement out quick ( CM, just blink twice if you know the new daily is borked ) If silent defense comes back Saturday 😬

[timid hill]

I want Server 16 in Incursions just so I can get easy kills on @stark fjord lol

[warm pivot]

hammy and blinking? 🤣

Faction store working fine on android too u sure u updated client??

Its not doing the kick back to fed thing they were talking about

[rocky escarp]

Update this am working for faction store iOS

[half shell]

Hopefully we get another Connor vid saying how hard they are working and to trust that it'll all be fixed and never happen again smh

[void panther]

This game is getting worst with each update

[gentle sable]

so when's the most popular prediction of which month and year this game will die? i'm guessing sometime in 2027

[void panther]

Realistically i think sometime in 2028

[warm pivot]

find the error <@&509690795536941056> why 2 different approaches? maybe thats why todays daily is more like torture than fun

[gentle sable]

yeah they'll try to milk the slow grind of the 70s while still pushing out power creep angles

[steady siren]

God that first silent daily is going to take 2 to 300 kills 🤣 great job scoply and that's supposed to be the easier of the 2

[gentle sable]

nobody is going to spend on weekly BP's to do this ridiculous daily

[void panther]

Im sure enough folks will buy those bp's no problem

[gentle sable]

it took my over 8 hours to do the destroy x10 vger gorn at your level, i'm level 69.....and just about every level 69 was having serious issues trying to do it

[steady siren]

I'm a 68 and I was killing 68 and 69s np yesterday I was using a Cerritos buff tho

[placid zinc]

Everything up to date

[ashen briar]

What the funghi is going on with the counting in dailies? While hunting/claiming stuff the digits don't get updated but are stuck- one always has to reboot the game to get the actual numbers then <@&509690795536941056>

[void panther]

Im 69 also, but i have almost all my research, artifacts, and tech completed and had no issues killing the new enemies

[gentle sable]

you probably have all the power creep near maxed out: syndicate, MU primes/research, officer level, artificats, etc, if you missed out, or are behind in any of those, you are )&^(&^d

[steady siren]

Yeah

[gentle sable]

and yeah, using cerritos/titan buffs and exos help

[void panther]

Plus im a solo player in my own alliance, with no alliance boosters besides a few levels of alliance tournaments

[fast viper]

No buff

[void panther]

Nope no titan or cerritos boost

[steady siren]

I can kill around 20 of the 68 today with no buff

[gentle sable]

and if you hit the 68, and the 69s, you must be aware of their power range difference? I hit a 68, and took 20 percent hull dmg to my Borg cube hull, I hit a level 69 vger gorn, and got destroyed and did 40 percent hull dmg to the level 69, so in simplistic math, the 69 is about x10 stronger than a 68

[steady siren]

Using janeway/trip/phlox

[void panther]

I can kill 3 69s naked before getting destroyed

[steady siren]

But now scoring for the Apex barrier forget about it

[gentle sable]

good thing you are level 72

[steady siren]

I'm going to have to kill hundreds

Lol I've killed over 40 in the 68 system and I've got 8/100

[gentle sable]

and sorry for doubting you swagglerock, but i spent nearly 8 hours in the level 69 system watching all the 69s try it, top alliance players as well, and none could kill more than 1 at a time, without buffs

[void panther]

Its no biggie, you really have to stay on top of research, its very important

[gentle sable]

you have to stay on top of everything for it to work, have a top end cube or faction warship at ridiculous tier level, your syndicate max, your artificats max, you MU research max, your officers max

[void panther]

Since im solo i try my best to complete all necessary research, mainly iso def and off boost

[gentle sable]

90 percent of the 69's are like me, we were foolish and leveled too quickly while not working on all the power creep stuff like a surf

[spring mason]

What’s this? It is called research right?

Or why are both doing the same results lol

[lofty snow]

every arc, Scopely is giving you hints to slow down your progress, but people still succumb to the FOMO and hype and ops up like madmen 🙂

[gentle sable]

<--guilty

plus i dropped out of the game for 3 months last year after my base shield mysteriously dropped during an incursion

[lofty snow]

smart thing would be to drop for good 😄

[steady siren]

I lvled pretty fast but I'm not hurting,I'm ops 68 playing for 2 1/2 yrs

[void panther]

Here is a naked run of todays vger silents, got wrecked on first try

[steady siren]

When I tried the crew rav recommended I barely dented a 68 lol

[gentle sable]

best i could do in one try

[void panther]

Killed it on the second try, will totan and cwrrotos boost to finish it

[fading bane]

whats happening

[steady siren]

Try janeway/trip/nesmith

[timber valve]

Why you keep posting that crew is beyond me

[amber island]

Can kill 70 lvl but that doesnt help me for one daily,, im at 11/100.

[steady siren]

Something big-time wrong with the apex daily

[tiny ivy]

Pm annorax/ annorax seska suder with pelia below. Tank the damage for 100 rounds

Go down a level if needed

[steady siren]

I'll try that

[hushed kite]

no Pelia, she makes these hostiles angry

[amber island]

Ok will try, thx

[fast viper]

I’m discovering the bellow decks in combination with your uppers on these hostiles make it very specific. I’m now killing 70’s without boosts. 10 a run

[tiny ivy]

That’s what we want

[gentle sable]

main thing is, we should not be here talking about those who can and those can't do a freaking daily

[tiny ivy]

They’ll get massive apex barrier and the fight will last 100 rounds, then you can tank a lot more per fight

[gentle sable]

doing a daily should be the basic simplest thing to do in game

[heady moon]

We can have all kinds of game conversation here! I was following the crewing suggestions.

[warm pivot]

its not the crew, yall gave em the wrong stats

[fast viper]

When I first tried this crew. It killed one. But after changing bellow decks. I increased it to 10. Bellow decks matter

[heady moon]

Are you referring to this?

[steady siren]

Apex daily is scoring horribly why wouldn't we talk about that here lol

[warm pivot]

yeah

[tiny ivy]

I thought they were a “challenge”

(I was done in one hit, ignore me)

[gentle sable]

that's the not the point behind what I said, yes talk about best crew set ups etc, but when a daily is so difficult i sat in the system and watched 90 percent of my servers level 69 player get totally decimated trying to hit a single hostile something is wrong

[short pewter]

So none know?

[timber valve]

Any looking into why the APEX barrier challenge is scaled so horribly for the daily?

[void panther]

The janeway, tucker, annorax worked better thx

[steady siren]

It's new and scopely always messes something up when it's new

[warm pivot]

the daily requires to make point by defending with apex barrier, but instead of giving them apexbarrier they shred ours... so depending on how much, that multiplies the required amount of hostiles to hit

[tiny ivy]

It’s the best crew for punching up imo

[heady moon]

Yup. I had trouble with the dailies too yesterday. But like with other arcs there's usually some testing needed to figure out the best crews. I tried the seska/janeway/suder combo yesterday and got wrecked too.

[fringe wind]

Exactly ive wasted hours today and wasted loads of repair rss trying so many different combos of ship/crew/tech. I consider myself a decent lvl 64 with pretty good ships crew and research and I cant even kill 1 Silent with my T8 Akira. Yeah sorry scopley I didn't buy everything and max everything each ops level but I also havent rushed through either

[heady moon]

That's a good point about it being tied to dailies...

[timber valve]

Ham, we shouldn't have to be killing hostiles numbered in the 100s to complete a daily

[tiny ivy]

• decent ships
• t8 akira

lol

[steady siren]

You should finish that daily when you finish the second one killing 10 hostiles

[rocky escarp]

What about the silent defense daily , its borked

[steady siren]

The first one is supposed to be the easier of the two

Look at the payouts

[timber valve]

This is a challenge, not a marathon

[fringe wind]

For my lvl thats not too bad but thanks for the support

[steady siren]

[main turtle]

So if you do your dailies then decide to get the Excelsior you have to wait for the daily reset to do its daily parts turn in?

[steady siren]

G7 players that takes 35 kills to finish it so not surprised you take that stance

[tiny ivy]

I know a 64 that finished that daily in 10 hostiles with a 9b rela. He’s been g6 for like 1-2 months

[fast viper]

It’s possible. No boosts. No tech

[steady siren]

It's easy to kill these ships it's not easy to score

[tiny ivy]

People with 60s can do it on 64 too

[fringe wind]

Well i dont know where ive gone wrong 🤷‍♂️

[main turtle]

The problem is scopely encourages everyone to OPS up even when they're not ready for it.

[fringe wind]

But fair enough if im just naff then its a me problem I guess

[heady moon]

I THINK if you get the Excelsior after event reset, you'll be sent a gift chest with 100 elite challenge credits for that first day, then you'll see the event the next day.,

[tiny ivy]

You need to direct damage to shields with Janeway/wok Carol, get apex through annorax and make sure you have a lot of hull repair. Throw pelia below to prolong the fights infinitely and tank loads of damage with apex barrier

[main turtle]

Thank you!!! This is correct just looked and it was there

[tiny ivy]

If you’re getting killed too fast and your shields go down take more shield regen/less Janeway/wok Carol. If you get killed but your shields stay up try to get tucker in because you’re taking too much damage

[rocky escarp]

The issues of killing the new silents vrs the dmg mitigation daily need to be separated. Easy to kill for me, impossible to mitigate enough

[placid zinc]

Remember that time we did that apex barrier event, but gave the hostiles insane apex shred, and we made it run every 3 days

[tiny ivy]

High tier seska, pic Hugh, suder, Kim and moral starpath help

[amber island]

@tiny ivy got 3 points 🙈 🤓

[tiny ivy]

That’s something at least😅 against 69 or 70?

[amber island]

Again 69

[placid zinc]

Best I can do is one point per 72

[tiny ivy]

And with pm anno anno or seska suder ?

[amber island]

With pm annorax

[tiny ivy]

Did you die or was it a partial?

[main turtle]

For anyone struggling with the silent stuff a crew like this with your typical hostile below deck works just fine

[amber island]

Die😂

[tiny ivy]

Try anno seska suder then

Might keep your shields up and let you survive with a partial

[placid zinc]

That’s the crew I’m using and killing them fine. Not getting points for apex barrier

[solemn plaza]

I ended up using this. Was getting about 20pts from a lvl69

[main turtle]

yea that apex stuff is not a good daily they need to fix it IMO. I had to basically intentionally lose to score in it.

[tiny ivy]

Yeah I think that’s where we’re at now lol

[placid zinc]

Why is everyone running Annorax as Captain?

[void panther]

Some folks need to learn that thwy dont nwed to complete everything, im skipping killing 100 vgers for not worth it rewards

[fast viper]

Remove snw crew

[amber island]

Uhh nice, will try

[tiny ivy]

Because “this officer has no captains ability” doesn’t work either

[tiny ivy]

Not if you want to mitigate

[placid zinc]

Yeah I’m hearing that Pelia is actually necessary for this

[solemn plaza]

No. Need SNW crew to make the fight go longer so you get hit more thus mitigate more dmg.

[fast viper]

I’m finishing the event with one hostile. Remove snw

[tiny ivy]

Ops 70?

[fast viper]

Yes

[tiny ivy]

Yeah that’s the thing, ops 64-69 have different (harder) scoring

[placid zinc]

If this is going to run every 3 days as a daily, and we know Scopely won’t fix it, we’re going g to have to finish them at some point or another

[main turtle]

If I can smash the 70s with my cube at 68 a 70 should be able to do the same even with a baby cube like mine

[tiny ivy]

It’s easy to kill them and at 70 I didn’t have to bother with the mitigation thing because it was done after one run

[main turtle]

However the apex iso daily should be looked at. I don't think designing a daily where I feel like I need to intentionally lose to score better on it makes sense imo.

[fast wigeon]

Do not use SNW crew on those hostiles

[gentle sable]

i thought point for silent enemies, was not to kill them, but to absorb apex mitigation

[placid zinc]

You’re not understanding what he’s saying

[rocky escarp]

That’s the thing. Since the mitigation is a daily ( twice a week?) it needs to be looked at now! <@&509690795536941056>

[solemn plaza]

#🌌-galaxy-chat message

[gentle sable]

and that SNW warning, they show a list of specific SNW officers, i experimented with SNW officers not specifically on that list, they don't work as well

[arctic iris]

it is, if you can use a ship with max mitigation so you last 100 rounds it will be alot quicker to finish instead of grinding hostiles

[fallow sorrel]

remove Joachim and you'll get more pts 😂

[amber island]

4 points 🤣

[gentle sable]

i'm level 69 so no i won't be able to last vs a level 69 vger hostile for whatever daily they push out

[tiny ivy]

Remove Torres and Joachim, or are you still dying?

[gentle sable]

an 'average' 69 meaning, i don't have all the power creep and research and FT and so on and so on and so on maxed out

[tiny ivy]

Meaning 14b cube or 18b cube?

[solemn plaza]

Probably. I was getting 20 points per 69 so settled on that.

[fast wigeon]

The task is mitigate with Apex Barrier, SNW isn't giving you that. There are other officers to give the Apex Barrier to help with survival.

[amber island]

Still die

[marble shoal]

So did they do something to the new hostiles? Because yesterday I could kill 2 now I die. Same ship and crew.

[fast viper]

Finished event in one hit.

[solemn plaza]

And if I dont put snw on I get 1 or 2 pts. With SNW on I get 20.

[gentle sable]

and that's with a cerritos buff on also i think

[tiny ivy]

If a fight lasts 3 rounds, you are able tank 3 rounds of damage. Now if the enemy has infinite apex barrier you’ll get to 100 rounds, making you tank how much more damage?

[fallow sorrel]

ops69 and lower players with all maxed out iso defense and no maxed rela are screwed though 😂

[tiny ivy]

Chang for those, but yeah I get the idea. Should be fine against silents tho

[marble shoal]

Did they change the new hostiles?

[tiny ivy]

What tier are your seska and suder?

[hexed sparrow]

Yall wildin with this 'Silent Defensive' goal

[hasty hemlock]

finally getting close to finshing the apex barrier event and now no hostiles

[fickle sonnet]

They cycle every day. Gorn > silent > hurak

[fallow sorrel]

yes and it will change again tomorrow. three types. they keep rotating

[fast viper]

Remove suder, replace with Tucker. Remove annorax and replace with Janeway

[marble shoal]

Well that sukz I can kill one but not the other apparently

[tiny ivy]

That was a gorn

[gentle sable]

tried, they did worse

[fast viper]

Bellow decks matter

[gentle sable]

tried also with Chang, did even worse, the rev suggestion for crew

[tiny ivy]

That’s the silent crew, the screenshot was against a gorn

[gentle sable]

trust me I spent over 8 hours working on the level 69 gorn with every crew combo, buffs ship types and so on, the Annorex (sp) bridge crew did the best

[hexed sparrow]

Janeway/Doc/Annorax

[tiny ivy]

Yeah gorn were a bit tougher

[gentle sable]

depending on your level, your ship type, all your power creep stuff from syndicate to FT to research to artificats, maybe Janeway then does work good for you, i does not for me

[tiny ivy]

Chang is better on cube, every other ship is better with Jane

[amber island]

Seska t3 Sudder max

[tiny ivy]

Try getting seska t4 and use Kim below if you’re not already doing that

[gentle sable]

tried Change, like i said, did the rev crew set up, it was a disaster, now, maybe it'll work great for you if your power creep it maxed, or you are just level 56 etc

[warm pivot]

will try with the cube later, but trip really makes a difference

[shell tiger]

sheesh get excelsior and still hadto use lat to build w t f is scamply playing at

[sharp trellis]

I'm a new 70 , just before arc .. my research good , suder , seska t4 .. others all maxed .. still can't kill the 70s they want me to ...3rd arc on a row I can't do much without paying, I've tried all the crews suggested in here , but none working ..

[tiny ivy]

Maybe you’re missing the crit chance. Chang only triggers if you crit while they have HB, so if you only have 50% he’ll be less effective

[tiny ivy]

Against silent Jane Tucker anno

[gentle sable]

have max torres

[tiny ivy]

Tucker makes silents way easier, yeah

[hasty hemlock]

currently using janeway/annorax/phlox

[tiny ivy]

Doesn’t mean max crit chance. That comes from various FCs and artifacts etc

[gentle sable]

chang crew lasted 7 rounds, my annorex crew lasted 35 to 45 rounds....

[hasty hemlock]

finding a balance of points/kills with that crew

[tiny ivy]

I get almost 100% if I fight in the combat triangle

[sharp trellis]

@tiny ivy tried that , died ..

[tiny ivy]

Did you have pelia below?

[gentle sable]

the game has way way too much power creep variables, saying 'this crew works' is like giving a rifle to 10 people and expecting everyone to hit the exact same spot every single time for every single person in a windy day, at night or durring a hurricane, this is not the game of 2019 where P/M/C crew was the solution to any hostile fight

[tiny ivy]

Screenshot of the crew and fight pls

[sharp trellis]

No , I'm running , Deuce, djz , and lewbs crews ..

[tiny ivy]

I don’t watch their videos

[fallow sorrel]

do you also have all the techs, artifacts and favors maxed out like them?

[twilit lintel]

https://tenor.com/view/lag-cat-walking-not-moving-forward-gif-15348457

[tiny ivy]

That’s why I started giving 2-3 different crew alternatives for newer stuff, I noticed a lot more people could do the new stuff if they tested out more options

[sharp trellis]

@fallow sorrel . yes I do I've agony and chrono on ...

[tiny ivy]

And you can’t kill 70s?

[twilit lintel]

what u use below

[dapper scaffold]

Lol. Its going to take 100 trips to mitigate 100 billion damage with apex barrier. 🤣

[tiny ivy]

Pretty standard below deck

[arctic iris]

the Difference of Artifacts / research but mainly artifacts

[fading belfry]

I can't believe how absurd the numbers are for the silent apex damage daily are. seems nothing was learned from flashpoint about absured milestones in the events. that's what killed it and that's what will doom this new stuff

[twilit lintel]

ah i see im still missing epic J

[gentle sable]

spent over 8 hours of my life yesterday testing every single crew combo ship combo buffs that are in the game including even non specific SNW officers

[fickle sonnet]

Some people now pay the price for rushing through ops it seems 👀 🤣

[naive escarp]

why did helps sent go from 60 to 165 now?

[twilit lintel]

SCOPLEY fix the lag

[sharp trellis]

Nope .. I'm using cube bigger then yours ... I have been told by others that my account is borked... as its over 8 years old

[naive escarp]

and trailblazer event shows up late when tc defense already happened

[fading belfry]

all those gaslighted by scopely for not opsing up fast enough are paying a high price right now. never listen to scopely. lol

[naive escarp]

arc runner is not with the program

[gentle sable]

this game always tanks with lag when they push out the new daily

[naive escarp]

starting the year right lol

[dapper scaffold]

[naive escarp]

yeah daily lag, they wont spend money fixing a daily issue that happens twice a day.

[tiny ivy]

To be fair I rushed up too and the gorn hit me hard, could still do it though

[gentle sable]

Funky if you are lvl 69 and your cube is closing in on 20B power then you got every power creep angle maxed, 90 percent of 69s do not

[arctic iris]

I dotn see why scopley dont have blocks on people being able to ops up until they max research. I know Ops 67 players that still have G4 research not maxed let alone G5

[fickle sonnet]

Well they tryin to sell stuff lol. If you cant do stuff you are more likely to buy it (or quit the game)

[tiny ivy]

For you my crew probably won’t work, take seska instead of Jane

[naive escarp]

they increased the requirements for unity events, but do we get more for it? or has the price just gone up for the exact same thing we've had for years?

(Won a pack once though so I have an extra fc slot)

[rocky escarp]

I’m decently powered 56. Killing is cake. Mitigation was not. I hope this is addressed by Saturday. In what game world would I try and severely weaken my ships and crews to hit a daily. That’s a band aid. The issue is the mitigation daily is borked.

[fallow sorrel]

same, i took the 8th dock. worst choice considering the only way to get it is the $$ store and they look at my base and call me a liar 😂

[hidden python]

Do the epic milestones require the Excelsior to unlock?

[tiny ivy]

I get called a whale because I’m too good constantly (by g6 players with crews the equivalent of pmc)😂

[quartz spoke]

150k kills so far

[hasty hemlock]

best crew ive used so far has been janeway/annorax/phlox

$20 a week? lol

[hidden python]

So why are players who don't purchase the new ship offered this pack if not owning the ship makes it impossible to unlock the last milestone?

Sounds like a full on gotcha from Scopley there

[fallow sorrel]

[placid zinc]

They better sell a couple shares of monopoly GO and fix this game

[fading belfry]

I'm going to have to assume scripts are being run now. you're kill'in my buzz

Yeah its a gotcha, should not see that pack if what is supposed to unlock is impossible without owning the new ship

Scopley should change that asap

<@&509690795536941056> severe lag on s91

basically even without the ship, you can unlock the 1 time task that gives 350pts by paying $20 for the bounty pack. buying the ship would be cheaper.

[queen jolt]

lag where? battle, when claiming chests or event scores?

[queen jolt]

dont worry I already pinged him

[river orchid]

lag everywhere

waves, hostiles, PvP

[fathom river]

All of the above - also: trying to post a shield, set a miner, set an armada, activate a max fort ability

[fast wigeon]

Everywhere. Trying to join madas, warping, changing screens, selecting a hostile to attack

[umbral willow]

Ships, pvp, pve, claiming chests

Game is about unplayable

[hidden python]

You only unlock the first epic milestone with an extra 350pts as well, even worse

[jaunty holly]

nice to see day 2 of lagfest continues

[twilit lintel]

Battle going into the event tab, going into the ship tab, going into refinery to pull chest, getting online, rebooting, and still waiting 3 mins just to get in

[atomic ginkgo]

lag

[hasty hemlock]

a wave sms with this lag...lol

[proven magnet]

quite humorous to have a wave defense event with the ongoing lag

[fathom river]

Also - the lag existed before event reset, but after event reset is more severe

[queen jolt]

lag report sent!

[proven magnet]

lag has been going on for about 24.5 hours now

[twilit lintel]

i say lag is at 80%

hitting ships from cross the system

and i dont even have a cube out

[hasty hemlock]

best to start thinking about a compensation for the wave sms with how the lag is going

[desert orbit]

Waves not doable … screen stuck and couldn’t hit any hostiles

[nimble stump]

Everywhere. Trying to change ships in dock, warping, combat, opening chests, daily goals updating.

[twilit lintel]

also fix tghe new daily goal its a joke just like that dumb flashpoint ims 3

do you not see how its patterned exactly like events are. even an event BP if you will

@heady moon

Couple of feedback items:

1. lag is horrific again, waves are unplayable in the US

2. alliance syncopation cannot be finished in 5 days. It would take 245 alliance members completing everything and no one can have more than 105 on a team

3. the "easy" new vger daily for apex barrier (silent hostiles) needs a serious adjustment. Like order of magnitude. Shouldn't take 15+ hulls to complete.

Scopely I want to congratulate you on getting it right!….. But I can’t this whole series of events seems like it was designed by someone who doesn’t understand math. You are dangerously close to breaking my ‘Give a dang’. Once broken it might not fix

[heady moon]

@humble orbit is a machine! He's powered by raids!

[humble orbit]

I leave games running 24/7 so I don't have to wait on load times.

[deft lance]

Yes

[faint wave]

The 71 silent hostiles are not too hard to kill, reasonable challenge. It will take me about 500 of them to finish the apex damage event. Guess who won’t even try

[gentle sable]

the pop ups in Raid to buy this or that would give me seizures

[humble orbit]

Same as in STFC, bind mouse right click to ESC. It's annoying there, but manageable.

[faint wave]

The ops 69 players are mostly screaming in frustration and unable to either kill the hostiles yesterday or barely kill one. Way to scale things reasonably to challenge and entertain. Seriously did anyone test this?

[fathom river]

Its hazardous to stay home

[minor furnace]

heh... got that visual bug last night

[placid zinc]

Worth 1 point lol

[humble orbit]

What level are you? I've been testing them a bunch today.

[gentle sable]

with titan boost

[placid zinc]

Do Janeway seska tucker

[faint wave]

I’m level 71 and i’m not having any issues killing hostiles. I am having issues getting the apex mitigation points. Takes 5 kills to get one point. So 500 kills to finish

[gentle sable]

tried, worse

tried chang, worse, tried alt bridge combos, worse, tried SNW officers not specifically mentioned, worse

[placid zinc]

At the very least take Annorax out of captains chair

[fathom river]

tried Janeway/Trip/Annorax?

[humble orbit]

Yeah, the apex barrier seems unreasonable, for many ops levels.

[placid zinc]

You just going for kills or apex?

i spent over 8 hours trying various crew combos, tried my Velox, watched other 69's get decimated from other alliances

that was yesterday's gorn one

[placid zinc]

I just helped a 14 bil cube guy kill some 70’s, what’s your below decks like?

[gentle sable]

the only 69's that could win where the '10 percent' who have all the power creep stuff near maxed out, syndicate/research/artificats/officers etc

[deft lance]

Tried and trusted PMC?

[faint wave]

In my alliance we have 69’s in one case one with a 19 billion kos’kari can barely kill one yesterday, the one with a 19 billion velox could manage 4 with identical crews and the first player has superior research. Chang is super dependent on firing pattern and so many ships have garbage firing patterns

[dull mason]

This is how it's going

Well I can get passed the picture, and the Adjusting is just Spinning over and over, I've switched off, cleared location cashe,

It's like it's lost it's physical connection, others have said something similar

[placid zinc]

Like I’m saying, if I can get a 14 bil cube to beat a 70 I can help you

[gentle sable]

yep even tried p/m/c

[tiny ivy]

you're using the gorn crew against silents

[faint wave]

Chang really doesn’t work at all on some ships, one some ships he is awesome

[fathom river]

Especially when stacked with this:

[placid zinc]

That’s their first mistake is using g6 ships

[humble orbit]

Oh, is that the problem? that makes sense.

[twilit lintel]

ahh dam discored sent me to wrong message lol

[placid zinc]

Do this and thank me later

[gentle sable]

i saw one level 69 using a near 20B power g6 rare ship that beat the vger gorn

[gentle sable]

tried Janeway, failed

[placid zinc]

Change your below decks, they’re awful

[gentle sable]

oh tucker, not tried it with him i'll try next time gorn is up

[civic geyser]

Wonder when Ben will be on asking how to do this daily

[placid zinc]

And no one should be using g6 ships, they are nothing compared to a cube

[deft lance]

Does Paris and/or WOK McCoy not work on these?

[placid zinc]

Paris is outdated, can use carol instead of McCoy

[agile bolt]

Usually around 7pm est

[placid zinc]

But absolutely there should be no use of pic hugh

[humble orbit]

I use mccoy, but yes, paris works too.

[rocky escarp]

Ya, can you please escalate this before it comes back Saturday?

[civic geyser]

I’ll set my alarm

[humble orbit]

Looking it over, but I think the excelsior is the solution.

The issue's already been escalated btw.

[placid zinc]

I can’t confirm but it seems to be a non issue for 70+ players and a big issue for everyone below

[humble orbit]

The exc has a massive amount of apex barrier built-in, and that should make those tasks much easier.

[faint wave]

If you can grind g7, these aren’t a problem to kill

[twilit lintel]

Just wanna say Scopley really put us to work today, i give them that

[placid zinc]

I mean I’m killing 70’s and getting 1 point per kill. Seems ridic

[twilit lintel]

maybe they do know what they are doing?

[deft lance]

I wouldn’t know. Server lag has been so severe that the game is unplayable since launch.

[placid zinc]

But I’m ops 69 and in 100 rounds get 1 point off a 69

[faint wave]

The points for the apex mitgation are absurd. I have to kill 5 71’s to get one point

It’s not that i cannot kill 500, it’s that i refuse to spend my day on it

[unreal pilot]

as an ops69...not even gonna bother with this new grind....

[placid zinc]

That’s the part I don’t get. Anyone ops 70+ is telling me it’s easy

[faint wave]

69’s aren’t necessarily stronger than ops 66

[placid zinc]

But I’m ops 69 killing 70’s and getting one point

[faint wave]

But their hostiles are dramatically harder

[civic geyser]

I could understand if it was an event but all this for a daily is just plain stupid

[twilit lintel]

watch them say check your internet connection

[placid zinc]

Twice a week as well lol

[minor furnace]

I am killing 70s at 69 just to get the apex barrier done quicker
