🏆-event-chat

[plain flint]

I can ko 51 .
Lets do fantasy scopely had introduced all three officers bs interceptor explorer and then introduced mantis.
There bottum line had not adverse effect.
The arcs events where intelligent design, A quality what they did was none the above, to me was deliberate greed or just stup.id

Long term $ are better than short term $ gains.

Argue my points happy to debate said

[paper venture]

Only one person on server 40 in the my level range has even bothered to score on the event lol.

[plain flint]

Last point introduced something counter the grinds as well.

[paper venture]

Control the wormwhole

[plain flint]

Most crucial point made the game boring instead of fun.

[untold pendant]

Could someone tell me how many battle pass points we are supposed to have after completing the event today? I’ve got a feeling like I may have missed yesterday’s final milestone

[wintry cypress]

67.5k if my calc is correct

[untold pendant]

Oh excellent! Looks like I got it after all

Thanks

[jolly osprey]

When is the next Jelly-Event?

[true cypress]

So am I just missing it or did we not get free event ticket this time around for the ticket event

[rough frost]

There 3 in the battlepass milestone

[true cypress]

Ah it was in a previous one got it missed that

[plain flint]

As you didnt debate my points, gather your a scopely bn so your opinion is biased by the $ i assume you recieve from scamely. If you dont or do nothing of consequence couldnt debate my points. Which = block as your no substance view point

[rough frost]

I don't debate when I don't understand what you want or say 🤷

But block me if you wish. Have a great evening wally

[plain flint]

The fact you didnt bother question what i was saying your scamely .

You cant debate a point ?

Gather not as your not required to give a reasoned debate to a point. Only give out the bs response to a individual opinion. Which you could disapprove with reasoned debate.

The arguement, of whatever i say is the crux. You cant provide counter arguments to a point. Is certainly not debate.

And i am finding the battlepass points incredible bore, not achievable but extreme grind. Not remotely fun like stfc utter boredom to time required on a daily basis.

[bitter snow]

Have you gone too high ops without the ships to support it?

Battlepass events are generally pretty quick

But long and short, if the game is boring, stop playing.
There's only so may variations they can do on mining, hostiles and armadas 🤷‍♂️

[plain flint]

Lets see ent A is a million federation credits to get. As 51 thats 57k per $160 lol zero interest in that conversion to get 1 million fed credits

[bitter snow]

Right, so go for a 53 because they take significantly less credits and hit harder? You don't have to buy everything...

[plain flint]

No interest in $ at all anymore as bang for buck is no where realistic

[bitter snow]

Probably cheaper to buy the ops and the 53 than the epic g4

Fair enough

So chill at 51 and enjoy the ride, or accept that it's slowed down for a bit

Or don't

It's not even a debate, it's just how you feel about the game

[plain flint]

I am primarily federation yet the northcutt supposedly highest repair costs lol

[bitter snow]

Re roll on a younger server and try and get the excitement back?

Currently in an alliance fighting to get enough cores for a 3* territory, which would maybe be the first one owned on 109... Its actually interesting again 😅

[plain flint]

No problem is 50/50 gone out the window.
Was alot player anger to the poor planned arcs, events and game quality.
I am not sure what the solution is.

[bitter snow]

Ye, arcs have been dodgy lately

[plain flint]

I am in apac and us servers not a option

[astral bolt]

And btw

If you wanna buy a g4 epic

I suggest you buy Defiant

[bitter snow]

Huh, good point that

[astral bolt]

It’s cheaper and can grow up super big

[bitter snow]

Hm

[astral bolt]

Definitely cheaper to max Defiant over g4 epic faction s

[plain flint]

Happily buy a pack give me two times value food fuel in real life

[bitter snow]

Does that mean it gets large enough to eclipse some of the g4 ships if you keep it max tier for ops?

[astral bolt]

I think so

Plus, Defiant’s repair bills seem to be cheaper

[bitter snow]

One of those ships that looks terribad when we're in the 40s and the thing is still a baby, but might work better when you get it at the original level...

[plain flint]

51 tritanium no longer a problem as 49 was constant drain

Had i had the golden goose information id upgraded to 51 6 mths to a year ago

[tacit holly]

golden goose information 😂

[plain flint]

Where your 4 * ship repairs who cares between 49 and 51

[bitter snow]

Only downside I'm guessing is the heightened milestones for events?

[plain flint]

Yuppers

[bitter snow]

Probably why I saw a lot of our whales soft camping at 49/50 then blink and they're 53 with big ship 😅

[plain flint]

Opinionated sob so i am alliance of one, where your contribution loyalty means nothing.

53 ships are worth getting as i am 51 yet to feel pain that decision

50 to 51 relative easy

[astral bolt]

I agree to warp to 53

Once getting those ships then you are done

[plain flint]

Costs to the whales as you put it are huge.
Below 50 is billions 50 + is trillions

Level 30 to 50 + doesnt conpare why difference

Compare

[mighty shadow]

Just as fyi 50 to 52 not bad at all; 52 to 53 is brutal; steel wall …10 - 15 trillion steel needed depending on your research

[plain flint]

Thank you shucks

[mighty shadow]

And ops 52 without a g4 epic ship is not fun; living that pain everyday…😢 already have bps locked and loaded for g5 uncs….I’ve just been hesitant to spend more $s lately …. Scopley needs to fix their stuff

[deft depot]

Is anyone else experiencing scoring lag for the Dominion Mining Event?

[rough frost]

Yes, some Server said about it

[balmy coyote]

@here so Scopely decided to change the scoring and not tell anyone on the Wormhole SLB??? @pseudo rune

@here anyone notice that? scoring was 3k for starting a rare and 6k points for an epic?

[versed osprey]

@here doesnt work lol

[rough frost]

Yes, and it still score the same

[balmy coyote]

ohh LOL

[rough frost]

12x500 = 6000

[balmy coyote]

No but if anyone was doing swamaddas prior to the score change then they could have started twice as many rare armadas for 3k points each etc

[sage hollow]

Can’t even see what the prizes given

[rough frost]

It's just now show the scoring per directive because of the confusion coming from some armada needing less directive to start (swarm or burial)

But the points are still the same

[rough frost]

Swarmada would only had score half the points because they need half the baseline directive

[balmy coyote]

prior to the change you got 3,000 points for stating a rare .... swamaddas only cost 100 rare directives versus a regular rare that cost 200 directives

[lost abyss]

Crap. 1st place gets about 1/5th of what a $99 station pack would deliver for their level, and to win you likely have to buy 2-3 $99 directive packs.
Do the math.

[balmy coyote]

with the point change it is correct, it should only be half but was it only giving 1,500 points prior to them changing it?

[rough frost]

No, swarmada never gave the whole points

[balmy coyote]

you tried one?

[rough frost]

Like burial epic needing only 100 epic dir only gave 1/5 points

[lost abyss]

Events like this show scoring one way, but it’s still really based off of how many of the proper directive is spent.

[balmy coyote]

ohhh ok

[rough frost]

Like when we do green armada event and do burial for 20 directive. It always count 1/5

[balmy coyote]

right ok

[rough frost]

Showing points per directive is much clearer

[sage hollow]

Thx bud. They haven’t fixed the game to see prizes

[lost abyss]

So you can’t game the system by running cheaper armada types, all you are really doing is ruining your loot rewards, trying to run up a score on a bad event with bad rewards.
Congrats!

[balmy coyote]

Another issue, is anyone else having problems with the armada saying the host isn't in the circle and it cancels the armada?

[rough frost]

A tiny announcement would had help tho 😅 but probably not working day today

[rough frost]

Eclipse armada?

[balmy coyote]

our alliance has had 3 fail so far, regular epic armadas in deep space 2, and 1 rare in deep space just now

[rough frost]

Fail, or no launch at all after the countdown?

[balmy coyote]

we all are wasting disco juice, Cerritos boost and losing directives

no launch after countdown, the error is host did not enter circle i think it said

[lost abyss]

Anyone running kira?

If so, stop running kira.

[rough frost]

Don't look like the usual kira bug, but just in case yes, did anyone had kira?

[balmy coyote]

what's wrong with Kira?

[red dawn]

Fail to fire glitch

[lost abyss]

Bugged to where she regularly break eclipse armadas, she may also break other special types of armadas, and a small potential to break armadas in general

[rough frost]

She is the cause of fail to launch armada. More often in eclipse, but can happen in others armada too

[red dawn]

Can stick your ship too lol

[lost abyss]

It’s another one of those long term quality Scopely features.

[balmy coyote]

ohhh oops it blocked my content because i said 💩

lol

but danggggg really!!!???

1 member has been using Sisko Synergy in all the ones that failed to launch

[lost abyss]

Yep, that’s likely the culprit then.

Aren’t you glad you pay for this game?

[balmy coyote]

this is ridiculous smh

at least they usually refund the directives

Thanks @lost abyss @rough frost !!

[weak copper]

Armadas failing to start saying the leader isn’t in the circle isn’t a new bug. It’s happened to me in the past, even long before Kira came out. It doesn’t happen often but it’s definitely a thing.

And I’m talking about armadas I’ve started, for the record.

[zinc herald]

@silver pike at lvl 24. Spend solo, use defiant or spend rare/epic. Only the last options are available to me. if my alliance members help me kill it . This is SLB, but last time it was milestones.

[dry tinsel]

swarm prime research worth it?

[cunning radish]

yeah seems to be the consensus if ur below ops 50

mostly useful for getting lots of trit and dil since parsteel usually isnt a problem these days

[silver pike]

Everyone in your bracket will have the same limitations

[tacit holly]

Here is my normal SLB 1st place rewards...second picture is todays SLB

[sudden ledge]

Did the points get cut halfway through?

<@&509690795536941056>

[rough frost]

It's only displayed differently, it's still the same points

But showing it like that is less confusing for people doing swarmada or epic burial as they need less directives and hence are giving less points

[sudden ledge]

Yeah I have faith in that 🤔

Regular armadas show differently too

[rough frost]

18x200=3600
16x200=3200

There no nerf, only a display per directive instead of for a whole armada

[sudden ledge]

It was 6 and 7 k earlier

[rough frost]

For epic

And it's still 6 and 7k

[sudden ledge]

I’m pretty sure it was 6k for rare and 7k for epic at ops 44 earlier

[rough frost]

No, it was 6k for an epic or 7k for an epic solo

You have the screenshot of the cost before the display change, there no difference

[ivory badger]

Anyone notice that the ticket rewards (op42 here) gives 1 ikat'ika, where earlier today it was 2? I don't have a screenshot but I remember that.

[elder comet]

<@&509690795536941056> can you explain why you make this bracket 40-45 and left out g4 rare?
I hope you do realize as 45 you need lots of rare ore and then leaving out exactly that is just a joke.
This is the FIRST event since I reached 42 (45 now) that a SLB event had no g4 rare.
Either your brackets are messed up or you forgot to add the g4 rare.

[deep steeple]

I know some players keep track but it appears to me we are getting less events nowadays. One parabelum a month when used to be 2 or 3 now less ticket events we used to get over 10 when it launched and also no apex sharda from ticket events.

[cunning radish]

They’ve tracked it

It’s gone up over time

[silver pike]

Who what 👀 when where 👀🙈🙈

[cunning radish]

Rev or dj did a video on it a while back

Granted maybe it’s changed since then

[silver pike]

Wait what we talking about 🤣

[hallow sphinx]

Its gone up for 35+ players, its gone down for everyone else

SLBs for 20+ In june I think was 20+

Since then its constantly dropped. I do my own spreadsheets

Its like they fired a team and hired 2 qualified but not experienced workers to do the events

[ripe jungle]

20+ slb’s in one month? That doesn’t sound right

Ticket events are down last couple months yes. They used to be 27 total with 9 free tickets given out per month, now it’s 9 with 3 free.

[silver pike]

Yh I noticed that. Pretty disappointing 🙈

[naive kiln]

Are there any events this arc like the one where u had to run 4 soloamradas a day for 4 days straight?

[wispy pike]

Do we have a date for the Treasury?

[silver pike]

Nope but it’s usually the last week of the bp

[upper marlin]

How do you get the prime daily faction?

[silver pike]

In the webstore

[silver pike]

Yes. You need to buy the pack in the webstore for it

[simple spear]

I feel like this sms is not worth the trouble, probably gonna skip for first time ever

[paper venture]

The recruit events blows its a skip for me.

[simple spear]

Maybe if the planetary tokens carried over but nope

[paper venture]

They are trying to force below to spend money.

[sage minnow]

Is it me or has Scopely taken out the SLB that usually coincides with the SMS and expects us to spend over 1700 U3 Mats to hit the SMS Heroic?

at least in the past you are competing mat spend in both SLB and SMS, right?

[spark barn]

They have - no more auctions apparently. This Legate stuff is stupid. I may be following several other big spenders in my alliance in deleting the game.

[wanton cloud]

you guys are out of your damn minds with this one

[tacit holly]

rofl you put a timer on opening packs?

[paper venture]

Second event I will have skipped this arc already.

[wanton cloud]

that actually may be a good thing, it's probably to prevent lag, but i think they have grossly overestimated how many people will be opening that 😂

[solar flicker]

why are there Gul Dukat recruit materials in the Weyoun milestones?

[wanton cloud]

except many people are already at the breaking point, if they keep this up, there won't be a game in 6 months

[vagrant pumice]

Did someone forget that recruit events have SLBs to them?

Because... I ain't going to go hard for 8 shards. No one is.

[tacit holly]

I hope that starts to happen

[spark barn]

already happening.

[whole flame]

This is bs

[vagrant pumice]

This DS9 series of arcs should have just been thrown away. The company is literally killing any goodwill they had with players because of horrible events that make the only way to do anything to spend $$$

[spark barn]

Scopely has made me dislike DS9... well done.

[tacit holly]

Putting a CD on opening these packs is like a car dealership selling a car that you have to wait a day each time after you drive it

[vagrant pumice]

I was always of the opinion that DS9 was the worst star trek series... They didn't have to go and make it the worst STFC arcs too though!

[outer hemlock]

not only are you doing the same Dukat BS as last arc for Weyoun - and reusing the same legate's decree - you swapped out the intermediate tokens for a new currency (planetary tokens) to make sure anyone holding those old tokens gets nothing for them. $copely you seriously need to dial back on the money grubbing.

[obsidian narwhal]

Maybe its all part of a plan to purposely sink the game in favour of a new project? This is not how you keep a player base at all

[vagrant pumice]

Scopely needs to realize, right quick too, that if they make the game pure P2P then they will chase the F2P away... And the MAJORITY of their userbase is F2P. Sure the top is P2W but if they remove all the F2P the P2W will get bored without any targets and they will quit too. Stop money grubbing or there won't be any money to grub you fools.

[crude jetty]

so 4m for 8 shards. x3 events so 24 shards for 16m pts.

• 3*4 packs openings...with 10to15 ish shards = 30 to 45 shards
  24 + 30 to 45 shards for 16m pts....and a liiiitttle chance to get a full pull
  Mehhh

[versed ferry]

I know several mid 50s and even an ops 60 that quit playing in the last 60 days because of this stuff.

[crude jetty]

To summerize, put 16m and buy a pack or 2 to unlock him

[tacit holly]

I am an ops 56 with $85k+ into this game (my server is 9 months old) I am on the fence of quitting. My buddy who is in his mid 40's probably spent $20,000 is also very close to quitting

[paper venture]

https://tenor.com/view/money-my-gif-12419544

[tacit holly]

so its happening

[pastel gale]

And then pony up even more cash to unlock Pon and Ikat'ika. It's insane. Without this explorers will be toast. Way do drive players away from the game Scopely 🤯 🤦‍♂️

[vivid oar]

@pseudo rune I don’t get any event points although I have finished it.

[toxic hare]

Interceptor mains:

[crude jetty]

for explorers users, it's do or die..that's insane

[vivid oar]

Why? Cause of bugs?

[vagrant pumice]

@pseudo rune wheres the content surveys where we get to weigh in on how good/bad recent arcs and events have been? Because they are BAD and unless you guys do an about-face ASAP you're going to lose a TON of revenue.

[versed ferry]

Because scopely is a bunch of greedy whale milking disconnected crackheads

[faint fractal]

Heroic events are ok, but need heroic rewards @pseudo rune

[versed ferry]

This shouldn’t be labeled as heroic. It should be labeled as “insanity”

[vivid oar]

Could be. But it has not been proven.

[vagrant pumice]

The only events i've looked forward to over the last few months have been the Incursions... And they found a way to screw even that up last time.

[vivid oar]

Too complex coding

[vagrant pumice]

"lets mix our PvE and our PvP userbases... They will get along!" yea... no. Complete disconnect of your brains from your audience

[crude jetty]

https://tenor.com/view/elmo-burning-burn-hell-red-gif-4977777

[tacit holly]

Partly but also because Scopely doesn't care what we want, they will not fix bugs with things I paid for 6 months ago (mantis hostiles, etc). They continue to come out with new content behind massive paywalls and also not fixing older content that has been broken for months/years and are moving to milk us for more money each month (changing officer sourcing from slbs to pure pay to play). They think it is okay to require the player base to grind out tasks such as Actians for 40 minutes a day to fill up two cargos. They dont scale more than half their content especially into G5 (I don't even have G5 armada chest and the galactic armada packs only give G4 materials..I can also solo all normal group armadas because there is no armada content for G5 players). Essentially they are charging a premium price for non premium/not wanted/broken content.

[spark barn]

The 40+ madas only came out when G5s arrived. G5 content probably won't come until G6s arrive.

[tacit holly]

That is not an excuse

[spark barn]

Scopely doesn't care... just wants money

[tacit holly]

if you release g5 content it should be finished

that is called a bait and switch

[crude jetty]

https://tenor.com/view/jerry-maguire-show-me-the-money-tom-cruise-gif-10570851

[tacit holly]

"look at our shiny G5 ships...oh you want to use them for our features in the game? Yeah you are going to have to wait...for how long you ask...🤷‍♂️

[sage minnow]

do G6 mat count for these mat spend event, it's not listed

[tacit holly]

doubt it

[silver pike]

No

[sage minnow]

is that confirmed by someone who tried?

[vivid oar]

I have been on it for over 3 years. I can assure you that it used to be much worse, both in terms of bugs and reaching ops. For ops 50 (used to be max) you easily had to spend 150k. You have to put these things into perspective, I think. But I agree, it sucks to no end when you're just being stalled.

[mental yoke]

Don’t worry, they will come on here soon and thank us for our feedback and say they are looking into it…and then continue on as is.

[vagrant pumice]

ROFL. They can delete me post nearly instantly but they can't fix their games problems. Kind of sad where their priorities lie.

[silver pike]

It’s confirmed by the fact G6 isn’t official in the game yet. And yes many have tried

[fierce sorrel]

Ops 39 used to be the max😉

[vagrant pumice]

I've only been playing for a year and a half... The money grubbing has NEVER been worse in that time.

[tacit holly]

They won't even address these things, if you try the Customer service route which we are told to do, you get a bot.

[spark barn]

Its gone in waves over the past 3 years. Past few months has been the worst I can recall.

[tacit holly]

If I could get back 1/4 of the money I spent on this game and have to delete my account and never touch a Scopely product again I would not hesitate.

[mental yoke]

I put in a ticket as no one in our alliance can access our starbase. Went though the questions about the problem. Selected the appropriate responses. Got a notification that my support ticket was in the wrong category one would be moved. Immediately got another message that they hadn’t heard back from me and would have to close my ticket if o didn’t respond. And then closed my ticket. All this in less than an hour.

[agile bear]

Wow, this material spend event is ****.

[sour lotus]

Hahahaha am i too drunk or do they really charge 1200 € for a full unlock now. Scopely you have completely lost it

[rough mist]

600 for guaranty I believe

[full umbra]

Problem is that some people do pay for them, so they will continue to sell them at that price, and like any business they will push prices up if they can get away with it. Crazy to think that any virtual thing is worth that kind of money. 🤷‍♂️

[spark barn]

other people can pay for them. The fact that pack exists tells me that it is time to reconsider whether I want to continue in this game.

$100 should buy you a full unlock, not 1/10th.

[vagrant pumice]

and anyone who suggests people don't spend that they will illegally silence (yes, silencing protected free speech is illegal).

[full umbra]

IMHO $100 for is out of reach for most people or simply not worth it compared to real world things I guess.

[sharp matrix]

@tacit holly

You are correct mate

Copy paste guys

Sure we can do something

🤷🏻‍♂️

[spark barn]

let the 1-star app reviews flow

Hey that looks like a great app store review right there...

[vagrant pumice]

already done at the start of the DS9 arcs with the Gaila BS.

[arctic nymph]

https://tenor.com/view/boat-gif-8825532

[south rose]

I agree with this wholeheartedly. I've been playing this game well over 3 years, and until Mantis release, RELIGIOUSLY finished all dailies etc. Now I don't even bother as there is too much stuff to do. Actian is broken. our STARBASE has has over 3 weeks of downtime (still down) and this last ridiculous sourcing for strike teams? and now weyoun? ahhahahahshshs what a crapshow this game has become. the game devs are totally not connected to the player base. My hours in game have drastically reduced and will likely continue to. This is coming from a player who has spent ~100K in this game.

[tacit holly]

https://tenor.com/view/im-doing-my-part-serious-stare-gif-11979677

I wrote my 1* review have you?

[tacit holly]

How the heck does this game have a 4.3/5.0 rating?

[obsidian narwhal]

Paid reviews

[glossy zinc]

I guess everyone from scopley gave it 5 stars.

Then they took their spouses, kids, parents, pretty much any phone they could get their hands on and gave more 5's.

[mighty shadow]

@pseudo rune @modest frost So there are two of you now…did you ever consider not to have the same hours and days online doing your job …. You know there are 7 days a week, how about trying to increase your coverage 🤔

[weak gust]

Its a US Company and US Employees. The Rest of the World eh Players are not existent. It would be nice a Community Manager for the EU Players or APAC Player but its irrelevant

[keen mist]

They increased refinery output, so expect the mat costs of new events/content to increase.

[gray gazelle]

That's not how free speech works. Scopely isn't your government and this isn't a public platform.
However much you may dislike this rule, and I dislike it too, it has nothing to do with free speech and is in no way illegal.

[hoary matrix]

Why the heck is the Ultra Recruit token trade-in not here for Weyoun! At least give us a lottery chance of winning on top of draining our mats.

[late vessel]

anyone know what the “return to form” SLB rewards will be? If it’s any avatar I aint holding out lmao

[tacit holly]

Scopely got a taste of what people are willing to spend and I am betting they won't be returning to it.

[late vessel]

So you’re saying it WILL be an avatar lmao

[tacit holly]

While we are playing the game of Star Trek, Scopely is playing the game of how much can I charge for content without losing too many customers...it is very much like the tobacco companies if you think about it...both are dealing in addiction.

[whole flame]

Disgusting

[rough mist]

https://tenor.com/view/evil-smile-grin-smirk-bad-gif-19562077

[elder gyro]

why are they changing it to one ticketed event a week this is outrageous

[static wigeon]

The fact that it costs a Heroic materials spend event to get the recruitment tokens for this makes it absolutely BS to keep the "lucky" rate so low

[elder gyro]

why am i buying a pack that has 18 unlocks if we only get 9 a month

atleast triple the reward

instead of ripping us off

[abstract gate]

now I can confirm that the replacement for the slb is worse, really worse

[rare shoal]

Why the hell did they change ticketed events format?
Normally it's ticketed events every weekend for the full weekend. Now they spread all those events that happen in 1 weekend over 3 weekends?
WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

[steep heart]

This sms is an absolute joke. 4.03mil for ops 42s, but 5m'ish for ops 53s. So you basically asking us to spend 37k uncommon 4*, 3 times this arc, in order to get 1/2 of an officer unlock, maybe a full unlock if we're really lucky. What are you on?!

[next sparrow]

Buy more packs to get your mats 🤣

[versed jackal]

You also get an avatar!!!!💩

[next sparrow]

$500 value, scopely has been generous to us

[brave chasm]

Do find it amazing the internet seemingly collectively rallied against Diablo Immortal but the model here is increasingly the same. Seems like it got worse here after it came out actually

[lost abyss]

Continually worse. Problem is with Diablo people can load up older pc versions that work just fine. Star Trek has never really had a good pantheon of games to choose from so now it’s a captive audience suffering from a variation of Stockholm syndrome.

[brave chasm]

Defo, I bet the new pips thing was brought it cos some behavioural people knew it pushed player behave in certain directions rather than improving the experience

[lost abyss]

Oh, I can guarantee they spend more on a behavioral scientist consultant than they do on coders.

They operate heavily on the sunk cost bias as is.

[dull pagoda]

So after having to hit 500 reds one day to complete events, all the rest are… nothing?

[dull pagoda]

I’m around 100k spent in game too. I’d say the problem is the newer servers not being fed up yet. For them, the game is fresh and have bugs. For us, we’ve been here almost 5 years and it’s the same bugs

[pure fiber]

There is way more pve than pvp….

[fresh garden]

Exactly - the new “advisors” need to wake up those in charge - decisions for awhile now have really been negative for PVE.

[hasty lintel]

But people pay more to dominate in pvp

[dapper drum]

☝️

[pure fiber]

“Dominate” sure. Compete? you can do that ftp if you’re doing your research and leveling properly

[hasty lintel]

Agree, if you have HG Worf, Lorca, GG, etc

I unlocked the BS ST without paying money, so 🤷‍♂️

[pure fiber]

My laan was won via slb because I saved mats

Anyway, the point I was trying to make is that 90% of events are pve or mining and not pvp

[hasty lintel]

Same

[pure fiber]

I’d like more pvp events. Damage done, or total wins, slb or sms with Tight level brackets

Way better than multiple worm events every month….

[hallow sphinx]

It was the beginning of the end, the months of when they give us a 1/3 of event then added more over the month

[hasty lintel]

Are we going to get one of those New Officer announcements in game that explains the Officer abilities and the number of shards that will come from missions, events, BP, etc?

[mental yoke]

Yeah…it’s funny as these last two strike teams were touted as “better sourcing” than traditional slb’s (which I did think sucked) but I unlocked the entire BS strike team through events and slb. I have none of the interceptor nor, with these crazy milestones and “chance” pulls, will I have wayoun or any of the others “sourced” this way.

[cunning radish]

They’re clearly not better

Maybe if their requirements were far less

[sonic walrus]

When even whales are hesitant to spend on these ridiculous officer offers, you know you've messed up Scopley.

I've spent quite a bit myself, but cutting myself from spending more going forward. Count another semi-whale as done with this.

There has to be some sort of incentive to grind, save, build, etc.

Not everything should be behind a massive paywall as it just feels like nothing I do matters besides throwing money at packs, its bad game design.

[lapis harbor]

Where do I redeem this token?

[languid haven]

[lapis harbor]

Thanks

[elder gyro]

Good luck lol

[languid flax]

So only way to get this new office is to drop 1k on packs?

[abstract gate]

Scopley has definitely Pushed their Luck with the players xD Anonymous might be called to Deal with Scopleys Ridiculous Scamming 🤣

At This point. Scopley is Just Money grubbing players blind. This should be illegal in all reality.. but scopley tries to hide behind their Legal Terms, xD which has 2 loopholes...

[plucky kraken]

12M points at ops 42 for a 1/3 unlock? Scopely is insane 12M pts would have won just about any SLB I've ever seen at my ops LvL they've got me stuck between I need to upgrade stuff and this is BS I have the matts but this LvL of greed is just completely off the scale ⚖️ what a huge slap in the face to the player base that doesn't regularly spend hundreds every month

Once again I'm one step closer to just putting the game down for good .... can't be many more b4 I step off the cliff (ops 42 US-50)

<@&509690795536941056> ☝️☝️☝️☝️

[elder gyro]

1/3 unlock what you mean i only got 8 shards

[rigid tulip]

I'm confused wasn't Weyoun supposed to be an SLB event?

[versed osprey]

no

[rocky hill]

Its still better for most than a slb would have been.

[silver pike]

https://tenor.com/view/no-gif-25913746

[languid flax]

Other officers were an slb, now we've got to spend 1k to buy him

How's that equal for the players?

[rocky hill]

Its a heroic event. Im assuming assumption that most players should be able to hit the 2nd or 3rd milestones on the 3 times it runs this month. And big savers/scrappers "may" be able to hit all 4.

[spark barn]

I'm super excited to hit all 4 milestones 3 times this month and come away with a total of 30 guaranteed shards. Meanwhile someone that barely participates wins the lottery and gets 100. Totally fair.

[rocky hill]

Its what a 1 in 200 chance for a full unlock pull? Ive seen worse odds. Sadly the odds were not in my favour, but still.

Hitting all 4 milestones all 3 times i see as near impossible for me, unless the events are super generous during the week. I did the 1st as i have been wanting to tier up the korinar for a couple of weeks. And have relighiously saved.

But a point to be made, im pretty sure there is a consistent pattern of spend events on the sat-sun of arc events. If you are spending your uc/rare/epics on the other days.. you will struggle at these.

Will see how cashing in on the bjoran material claims pans out.. as they are a decent amount of uc

[spark barn]

Simply put... focus on fixing things that are actually broken instead of breaking long-standing game mechanics to make another buck or two.

[versed flax]

…. But what about the spy events? Did they forget about them for this battlepass?

[desert laurel]

Unlikely, they probably aren't ready to put it on the schedule yet.

[versed osprey]

there is another update coming this month, maybe then

[versed flax]

You’d think that when you announce a 4-part arc, you’d have all the events ready and planned 🙃

[desert laurel]

Just have to wait and see what they have for us. 😃

[versed osprey]

sounds like you know something😂

[desert laurel]

Nah, I just know that they add events to the schedule regularly. Not having something there now, like treasury, spy events, or incursions, doesn't really mean anything.

[versed jackal]

A f2p or low spender that knows how to save up should be able to compleet all but seeing as they are smart enough to save up and spend when it matters to then, they will be smart enough to skip this 💩 entirely or only spend that which keeps their account progressing.

[vivid oar]

Pls post the event calendar

[desert laurel]

It's pinned here.

[rocky hill]

Pretty sure that a smart, successful, ftp player will only spend rss when they get rewarded for doing them. Gotta do those upgrades and researches at some point.

There are now quite a few research trees that dont use crystal/gas/ore.. i do them when there isnt a spend event.. for example.

[jolly sun]

I’m really please that out of all the alliance, it was all the ftp who won free unlocks both on Weyoun and Ducat. It made their game. Something at least

[proud pollen]

Anyone know if there is a faction hunt scheduled in the near future?

[rough frost]

Faction hunt is usually between the monthly arc

[proud pollen]

Grand job, thanks

[fallow latch]

Scopely please fix the current weyoun event mat spend.. if I can buy a pack and train a reasearch that costs 2,000 6* mats the event sure as heck better include those. Why would you stop at 5*. Big ooos on your part please fix

[coral niche]

I am sure introducing heroic SMS makes more money. But they sure as heck give me less pleasure.

[plain flint]

3 new missions in bajor ...

[neat barn]

pretty sure we're just like 1 step away from actual gambling on here, or maybe we're already there

[ornate geyser]

Already there. That’s why the odds are shown for any Gacha involving money… “it’s the law”…

[abstract gate]

Pretty sure it is Gambling, Because if you Break the Terms & Agreements, Scopley can Swoop in and Delete your account, which means you Lost all your Money, So playing this game is Gambling Technically 🤔

[neat barn]

ugh, i was kinda hoping we weren't there yet, but i've just been living in denial

[ornate geyser]

I mean…what did you think all the “Chance!“ rewards were? 🤣 This game absolutely is gambling, only with way worse payout than an official lottery.

[abstract gate]

Pretty much.. I am Close to done with this game.. i have been backing off because i have been noticing the reduction in rewards per month... it is getting worse.. as a lvl 45..... i see the rewards from events as a mega slap in the face.. and it is insulting.... time requirement in the game is almost 5 hours to complete all grinding and then some... plus events is about 8 hours... so... I am sick of the game... i only do partials to make the money spent in this game worth what i paid for.. but no longer...... i wont spend another dime......

[neat barn]

fair

[wispy thicket]

BP event, 1x SMS and then the normal Sunday events. That it? This feels like inbetween the arcs not a proper arc.

[sturdy hinge]

Do we know why there is no longer an official announcements channel under News & Info?

[wispy thicket]

I can still see it, have you collapsed the channel?

[sturdy hinge]

WHOOPS

thank you I am an idiot

[wispy thicket]

Lol no worries, we've all done it which is why I suggested it 🤣🤣

[dull pagoda]

I think at one point they had to add the words “chance” and add the odds of payouts because it is in fact gambling and that class action group was trying to use that to sue

[limpid geode]

clear the coast event is garbage. scopely really needs to add more eclipse systems or add more hostile spawn points in the systems

[neat barn]

add jem to that list

[sudden ledge]

<@&509690795536941056> Fix the hostiles! This is absurd!

[full notch]

I kinda see it as a lottery myself instead of gambling, IMO
💩

[vagrant inlet]

<@&509690795536941056> Can anyone to the spreadsheet can show if there’s going to be a ship upgrade SLB at the daily event change in 5hrs 44 min

[untold pendant]

https://www.stfc.ovh/ says a ship xp daily event is next

[scenic kernel]

🤔 lottery is a form of gambling

[ornate geyser]

A lottery is just the old mob gambling game they used to call running numbers. Heck yeah it’s gambling…

[vagrant inlet]

<@&509690795536941056> any syndicate event scheduled for this month? @silver pike

[quasi kestrel]

Think it should be renamed star trek "restart clear local" as u struggle to command your fleet i mean seriously cant even get zoom right

[errant blade]

If I don’t pull Legate’s Decree, oops I mean Weyoun Decree, in the next 1.5hrs do I lose the recruit?

[scenic kernel]

most likely you can spend them next week-end

[hasty lintel]

They should have the Decree packs/exchange over the next two weekends to coincide with the Weyoun RNG SMS events

But why wait, just do the pulls

[vague narwhal]

As if the previous event wasn't a big enough slap in the face

[silver pike]

It’s an alliance event.

[vague narwhal]

Even our whales don't have him yet

And yes I know there an extremely slow option for anyone who did buy all the packs

[paper venture]

Events blow again today!

[obsidian garnet]

Its an AMS, if no one has them then just on PvP between 75 players thats 10 PvP wins each, 25 each for 60 players. + 2 points for every hostile lowers that a lot

[neat frost]

i can't even with this espionage event

they're trying too hard to make me go in on miles or kira now.... :tnggeordi:

i still haven't got a clue

[neon hawk]

Who comes up with these stupid events? Seriosuly, kill 7500 hostiles. WTF

[silver pike]

It’s an alliance event

[cobalt hatch]

Scopely are clearly high as balls, as usual

[silver pike]

It’s about 100 hostiles per member. Which is the same as a 1 day hostile kills worth…. Over 2 days

[neon hawk]

Does not change the fact that its impossible.

[scarlet moss]

Is that weyoin event pvp all over or just specific systems?

[untold pendant]

Impossible? It’s extremely easy

[burnt kernel]

Can I suggest Scopely come up with some iconography for these events so we can clearly tell which ones are solo, which are alliance, which are elite etc... reading is not our strong suit 🙂

[plucky kraken]

For the 4M per SMS their valuation is completely outta wack 12M pts would definitely even spread over several SLBs on my server unlock an officer … until DS9 I’ve almost never not unlocked every officer since this arc started it’s been extremely difficult they’re widening the gap between heavy spenders and lite spenders especially with the PvP for idiots ST crews as typically a $20 BP guy this pushes me once again towards putting the game down for good 😢

I have seen the events today but from everyone’s comments it Sean’s they’re also awesome 🤩 LOL

[obsidian garnet]

assuming 60 active players that never PvP, thats 125 hostiles each over two days

[silver pike]

It’s not impossible. I just told you it’s possible as long as you have your members participate. 100 hostile kills per member isn’t hard. Or 10 PvP kills

[neon hawk]

100 kills if you have 75 memebrs in your alliance

[silver pike]

200 kills is still possible. It’s a 2 day event

20 PvP kills as well

Or do you have less than 37 members?

[sweet remnant]

honestly, our alliance is taking part in a territory takeover right now, and we've already hit the second milestone

at this rate, we'll finish within the hour

[silver pike]

It’s really not hard. I don’t know what the issue is unless there is an alliance of 10 people.

[neon hawk]

25. Scopely needs to remember that not every alliance has 75 members, nor that every server is years old allowing for thousands of players per server.

This is a stupid event that will take all day to complete, with rewards that are not worth the time, ir costs involved.

[scenic kernel]

then skip it

[silver pike]

Then skip the event. I don’t see how you aren’t advancing your alliance. There isn’t an AMS in existence you can do unless you work hard enough

[neon hawk]

Or they could just not disenfranchise a bunch of players by giving us achievable content.

[silver pike]

So 25 players that’s 300 PvE kills or 30 PvP kills over 2 days. That’s still doable

[lusty apex]

Nothing is free. You either pay for it with money, or pay for it with time... or don't do it at all. Nobody is forcing you to

[clever ibex]

@silver pike can you clarify the Espionage event?

[scenic kernel]

it is not a solo game, you are supposed to be in an alliance with a minimum of at least 30-40 active players. And then like @silver pike said it is not tha tmuch. you can either do it with pve, or organise some pvp on your server to speed it up.

[untold pendant]

Check if auto attacking hostiles give points, and if so, direct your players to go afk in hostile factions

[silver pike]

I’m not too sure but below explains roughly what seems to be going on with the events

#👾-bug-reporting message

[neon hawk]

Thats ok we can disagree. Apparently you giys have forgotten what a horrible experience these events can be as a new player on a new server.

[near radish]

Pass on that as 1 man alliance 😂

[quasi token]

It’s an Armada episode. 🤦‍♂️

[minor wren]

Do I have this right -- for today's sms you need to do 1,500 pvp battles, or kill 7,500 hostiles? Unless you have weyoun, which almost no one does

[rancid ore]

Its an AMS

[minor wren]

Ahhh OK thank you!

[shadow swan]

Did anyone inerrogate prisoners? Which one? Any result?

[sage minnow]

so who do we think is the spy??

[torpid light]

Any guidance on the espionage event store? @pseudo rune
My Definitely Miles, seems to be a swop with Kira briefs, but my Definitely Kira is also a swop with Kira briefs. That doesn’t make sense.
And I can’t see any difference between the Investigate Cardassian or Jen Hadar options. But is there a trick that you have to choose all the same or can you do both?

[honest halo]

Why no cloaking shards in store for event?

[untold pendant]

I interrogated the Cardassian and Jem prisoners and received 1) Kira 2) Miles 3) Miles.

[shadow swan]

six in total?

[untold pendant]

Correct, both types gave the same intel for me

[shadow swan]

"the longer you interrogate them the more likely they will tell the truth"

Your results point to Miles.

[ornate geyser]

Are we supposed to do both Interrogations…?

[scenic kernel]

yeah

I got:
cardassian: kira - miles - miles
jemhadar: miles - miles - kira

[ornate geyser]

So 3 of each?

[shadow swan]

Isn't three the max?

[ornate geyser]

I also have enough random currency to do both Definitely…but only did Kira.

[torpid light]

I just got
Mile, miles, Kira
Kira, Kira, miles.

[ornate geyser]

Some official guidance on this would be nice, lol….

[untold pendant]

So it would seem that not everybody gets the same answers, which lines up with what the event was saying about working together

[barren dagger]

Why are they now limiting the purchase of the skins/projectiles to 5 per day? this makes no sense.

[scenic kernel]

weird... I also got more chips

[ornate geyser]

It’s been like that since last arc. Yes, it sucks, lol.

[shadow swan]

Scopely often uses random numbers. For example 60% chance for truth and 40% chance for a lie. Given the hint "the longer you interrogate them", I would value the third answer most.

So let's keep collecting results of what people get.

[split flame]

I got 1 Miles response from the Cardassian interrogator, remaining 5 answers were Kira

[ornate geyser]

I would value the most common answer, across a large sample size.

Also, it’s Kira. 😈

[abstract gate]

I got Kira, Miles Miles from Cardassian, and Kira, Miles Kira from Jem'Hadar.

[scenic kernel]

she even sabotage your armadas 🤣

[shadow swan]

I got:
Jem Hadar: Miles, Kira, Kira
Cardassian: Kira, Miles, Miles

3 of each.

[steep stream]

For me, cardassian was Kira, Kira, Kira and Jem was Kira, Obrien, Obrien
So not sure the last means much. More likely it's about pooling results to get to right % chances

[scenic kernel]

if they use the same RNG for selecting the last choice as for officer chests, chances is that it is more likely to select the non-spy over the spy the more you interrogate 🤣

[royal sorrel]

This is kind of a disaster having the PVP and PVE events all using the same systems.

[ornate geyser]

And then crash.

[grave shore]

Cardassian: Kira, Miles, Kira Jem Hadar: Kira, Kira, Miles

[shadow swan]

The first results were poining at Miles mostly, the more recent results say Kira. Perhaps that is how to understand the hint. As the 48 hours progress, the answers get better.

[fringe laurel]

Card: Kira, Kira, Miles
Jem': Kira, Miles, Miles

[scenic kernel]

I also suspect we will have several of those tortu... I mean interrogation SMS over the month with better and better answer

[shadow swan]

You are correct.

[gray ravine]

A PVP and an armada event in the same area. What could possibly go wrong...

[royal sorrel]

Yeah, that's been really irritating

[gusty widget]

can i do the espionage event at level 15

[scenic kernel]

should be

[gusty widget]

i cant captur cardasian ship, any ideas?

any locations i could go to?

[scenic kernel]

did you try bajor?

[gusty widget]

to far away... but you would think there would be somewhere for newbees

[scenic kernel]

that said, according to stfc.space, for your level, attacking any hostiles give points

[inland wraith]

Got 3 miles on both Interrogations, I think my mind is made up 🤣

[bleak thicket]

I got 5 miles and 1 Kira

[tiny trout]

hi , 2 Kira and 4 Miles

[halcyon cloak]

4 Kira / 2 Miles

[paper venture]

I got 4 kira and 2 miles

[autumn swift]

I don't understand why we are in a group. I have no chance to win one..... @pseudo rune

[paper venture]

Snd still no idea is going on lol

[paper venture]

They don’t care, people have been pointing this out forever.

[shrewd scarab]

@pseudo rune , we players have complained about this REPEATEDLY! Please don’t put Cardiassian armadas and PVP in the same area, especially during the workday. You don’t@have to be a rocket scientist to know that small players are going to be killed as they just try to do the armada events. And, since we are working (Scopely does want us to spend money, don’t you?!?!) , we can’t keep moving our ships. How many times fo we need to complain about this for you to modify the events?

[versed flax]

Civilised servers just hunt hostile or declare a pvp system

And have a working RoE regarding armada inference

[shrewd scarab]

Unfortunately, my server just went through a merger, and the big players and group of alliances are bullying everyone else. But, Scopely should listen to players as we repeatedly complain about the same event.

[next sparrow]

Conflict = rage spending

[gray ravine]

Conflict = rage quitting*

[scenic kernel]

if you don't spend, you are cost for them so they don't care 😉

[lethal edge]

cardi miles miles miles jem hadar kira kira kira

[quasi token]

What’s happening here?

[silver pike]

You can convert some of your Kira briefs to Miles briefs if you think Miles is the spy and not Kira

[paper venture]

How’s that?

[quasi token]

Is it unlimited and not limit one?

So you can basically switch to Kira?

[paper venture]

I wish I had a clue. Logically I would think its miles because he has a reason to be everywhere on the station as the chief.

[silver pike]

No it’s limit 1

It just enough so that you score for the event

[quasi token]

Ah so you stuck with you’re choice 👌

[silver pike]

Well you could do both conversions. But you only need one

[south arrow]

Anyone know why no g5?

Did scopley reduce my ops level 🤣

[abstract gate]

You were deemed unworthy

[timber loom]

Do we know if this month is going to be it for spending these isolinear chips or is there maybe a reason to save them?

[silver pike]

There might be next month as well, not 100% sure yet but if there is it will be the same as this month

[timber loom]

I’m hoping there might be one of those event stores next month that take these.

[silver pike]

There could be but it will likely be identical. There is going to be a normal end of arc event store hopefully next month but that will likely be a new currency

[untold pendant]

If we could possibly get confirmation on whether we can spend the isolinear chips next month that would be fantastic. I don't have anything to spend 4* materials on yet so I don't know which ones to buy haha

No hurry of course, we've barely started this month's battlepass, but some time before the store closes

[severe bone]

Is there a form that shows when and what type of dailies are coming up, missed so many research events?

[knotty night]

It would be nice if the other skins show back up to - for the dvor f and the disco

[naive meteor]

it's a stupid click event !

[past arch]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/707294719612551294/1041820457722187786/image.png

5/6 of mine were Miles and my only Kira was in the first Jem Hadar pull. Perhaps the likelihood of pulling the imposter (Miles) goes up each pull?

[scenic kernel]

it is supposed to. but I have seen all kind of draw so far, so I doubt we can see a trend just yet

[past arch]

Yeah, I would definitely like to hear what other players are pulling

[jolly tulip]

I have been collating so far 17 k 18 m for last pulls

Too close to call!

[paper venture]

I got more kira and miles

Than

@pseudo rune will iso chips carry over and be usable next arc?

[past arch]

They certainly will carry over, but the question is will you be able to spend what you save on the limited pulls they allow you.

[graceful dune]

Anyone have any idea if and when the treasury event is starting?

[jolly tulip]

Worst case would be the material spends

[silver pike]

Usually last week of bp

[merry fjord]

So if I choose to swap intel briefs, other than completing that event does it matter at all what I do since it seems to be pure luck at this point?

[lusty siren]

I'm so lost in espionage event. The prisoners both have me kira and miles, and I can double down on both. I've been Miles the whole time but should I go for kira too?

[west flax]

All of my interrogations results were miles.

[past arch]

#🏆-event-chat message start here

[drifting bridge]

All my Jem hadar said miles and all my cardassians said Kira. The jem hadar would lie to protect a founder, Kira is the spy!

Or it’s all a random coincidence and completely pointless 🧐😂

[dark seal]

Jem'Hadar told me Miles x3, Cardies went Kira Kira Miles.

Leaning toward the random pointlessness option.

[full umbra]

Entire espionage chain is pointless. 🤷‍♂️😂

[tawdry kettle]

jem: kira miles kira card kira miles miles

[neon badge]

I hope they realize that screwing up the December store has the potential to tank their ipo

[dull pagoda]

Guys complained about incursion pvp so scopely made a purge event lol

[left shore]

ehm treasury is usually week 2 .. (usually day 13 to 16 in a month) I expect Treasury event to start tomorrow .

on the Kira vs Miles , we get missions in holodeck tomorrow after doing bp

so, we will most likely get a few new hints in those missions

[worthy isle]

Once you hit your treasury level for your ops the treasury is a waste of money IMHO

I don't spend on the event any longer

But I've cut way back on my spend, most of the packs are a waste of money

[dull belfry]

does anyone else not see the weyoun recruit tabs after event reset this morning?

[worthy isle]

The whole Weyoun is another not worth my hard earned cash

[dull belfry]

agreed. but for an event that just ended at 11am my time, I now can't spend the few tokens I did earn on a pull later that day. i've cleared cache and reset. nada. what gives?

[lost abyss]

The fun thing: weyoun strike crew can’t beat a same level and power int strike crew in a korinar vs pilum fight.

[dull belfry]

I can't remember an event ending at the same time as the option to redeem the tokens earned from that event. there's usually a 24hr stagger. people actually work during the day. great job team.

[bold sparrow]

Do you have a SS of this?

[keen mist]

There's always some research not accounted for in ship power.

Pretty hard to get an apples to apples comparison with so much garbage in the background.

[livid cosmos]

I got the exact same result

[lost abyss]

Don’t have the same power and lvl ship ss right now, but before strike teams this was fights this persons korinar would win with previous pvp setups. Now, strike vs strike it loses.

And this same type of fight with a battleship vs the valdore with the same power disparity, battleship wins. Explo strike team looks underpowered right now.

[south arrow]

I’m a level 54 and scopley says my level is not high enough to get g5 in my rewards???? Does that make sense

[agile steeple]

Question: am I supposed to just interrogate both prisoners 3 times since I have 6 of the doodads?

[torn berry]

I did, all six came up kira... Reading up on the other results here, seems to be completely random 🤷🏻‍♂️

[narrow sedge]

That's not the same power disparity. One is 100% higher the other is 50% higher.

[twin solstice]

Do we know when the last chance to use Isolinear Data Chips will be?

[desert laurel]

No, but you should expect it to be a currency throughout this entire DS9 arc.

[sharp matrix]

😳

[covert arch]

So dezember again?

[dapper drum]

you are not meant to use it all

every currency is supposed to have a remnant left in your inventory to remind you of the good times

[torn berry]

more like a graveyard of past events

[dapper drum]

reminding you of all the good times 😎

[abstract gate]

This Espionage event is so interesting. Where is Sisko? Can someone just tell me what I need to do?

[desert laurel]

Sisko has been ruled out as a spy. Pick one of the others, or wait for someone to give you a reason to pick one. There's another day to go.

[neat garden]

my money was on sisko from day one.

i wont be going to the races anytime soon

[mellow shadow]

Team miles. Everything bad must happen to miles. Which means he is kidnapped and in a Dominion holding cell

[neat garden]

scrapping hand to hand with jem hadar? dont see that ending well for mr. o'brien

[mellow shadow]

More like when they were hooked up to that simulation where they blew up the worm hole

[abstract gate]

Just more content, no real fixes.

[viral lance]

A new building - ok, free refits - ok, cloaking for more fed ships - wtf?!

[versed sinew]

Automated Defenses for the Horizion lol

[static wigeon]

Told you it was Kira

[scenic kernel]

and to improve scopely's best feature, server lag 🤣

[swift storm]

anyone know if the armory will require special materials to build and tier up?

[scenic kernel]

ofc. they need to sell more packs of currencies

[swift storm]

although i very much appreciate the irony, you have a source for this? 😄

[scenic kernel]

I don't. But all other new buildings they have released have needed one, and they don't introduce anything F2P anymore.

[desert laurel]

Holodeck was one level and finished.

[abstract gate]

but it still used a special currency

[desert laurel]

Can't imagine them releasing dozens of levels available from the start though. We'll see how it goes.

[swift storm]

well we know the armory will have many more levels, thats clear

[abstract gate]

the armoury will have levels, and if I'm not misinterpreting the news you need at least level 26 to get the pve ability, 28 for the g3 pvp ability, and level 42 and 53 for the g4 and g5 pvp abilities

UltimatDJz say in his video that the new resource needed for the armory is called something like "nadion", sourced via events and some daily gift (like the thing needed for the treasury i suppose)

[tidal storm]

Oh Lordy!..another currency ..

[abstract gate]

at least the defiant got the cloak

[swift storm]

siiiigh

[rough frost]

@main ore repost it without the S word, it will work

[main ore]

I'm still surprised we are all surprised that scopely doesn't care about its F2P players they never have and never will as long as they can add a plaster and charge for it why care about them that won't pay

[main ore]

Cheers, figured that after I read it when I posted the screen shot didn't realise I said the S word

[rough frost]

I would say f2p and low spenders too. Even paying players have no access to lot of content right now because they don't spend enough or not on what scopely want them to spend.

[scenic kernel]

that is why I stop spending, used to be automatic bp, now it will be "if unlock officer maybe buy, if not probably not". But I guess they don't care about 20 bucks 🤣

[rough frost]

Even more. You could buy the 2 monthly bp, the 2 elite monthly pack each month, for 230€ and still not have defiant for ds9 arc 🤷 either you spend on this month content, or you get a 6 month gap

[paper venture]

Great just what the game needs a new resource!

[main ore]

Scopely is lacking any real imagination they just see $$€€££

[scenic kernel]

and it works well for them

[dull pagoda]

A more appropriate update would be stronger probes or stronger Stella arms and expanding an existing “free” research tree. That would get the community involved again

Not appropriate updates are the rodinium in galaxy, defiant, cardy arms, mantis that had stuck hostiles for 3 months, rep that’s been stuck at 10 mil for bajorans since the first week or 2

[grim dawn]

I was kind of hoping for some stuck hostile cleanup but no luck probably, the worst is with mantis and jemhadar we have one totally unusable system with only one working spawn point 🤣

[dull pagoda]

I thought they fixed the stuck actians by putting a borg probe in the system. I restarted several times and it was still stuck in 39

[main ore]

[dull pagoda]

We all know their cash cow is a walking dead game. They have no time to fix this one

[floral trail]

Making alot of money for very little outgoings, I dont think they have any programmers able to fix bugs

[scenic kernel]

I don't think the programmers are the problem

[full umbra]

If they are focused on new features with "commercial value" they won't be fixing bugs or tech debt. Typical short-sightedness of management in IT companies.

[ashen wharf]

now give the number of deletions

[strong lynx]

It's not really short-sightedness, as STFC has been around for quite a while and makes a lot of money, but rather the publisher (Scopely) valuing money and only money, so they want the developers (Digit) to only focus on money generating features.

[scenic kernel]

it is very short-sighted. The whole company is based on generating massive amount of money for the investors over a short period of time. And then when it stops working they will just close it.

[idle sleet]

maybe they can hire a new cm who people are less likely to criticize (and the game). oh wait, nvm. Look over there at the bird

[strong lynx]

Then how do you explain STFC to be around for years? Short would imply that it is also short-lived.

I am not agreeing with the model, as I am a gamer and think the best games comes from a combination of passion for the game and revenue generation, but there is no denying that this revenue-only model, seems to work for them.

[ashen wharf]

well when your player base is mostly 40+ or retired star trek fans

that kinda is the focus

[strong lynx]

Yeah, that is a major factor. But their model is: Buy the rights for a popular IP, create a game with minimum effort (combat being all auto-resolved, static AI etc etc) and then focus entirely on the P2W cash-shop to milk as much as possible from the fans of the IP.

So it is not "short-sighted" but rather a pure capitalistic view on game development which seems to work as they make hundreds of millions every year.

[ashen wharf]

its short sighted because its still considered in beta

not fully released

so they can pull the plug if revenue starts fading hard

[strong lynx]

I dont know what that means. Short-sighted means they plan only a short time ahead, which is clearly not the case as the game has been around for years and has been steadily increasing in revenue.

[ashen wharf]

it was most likely not going to last after the first year but they gambled it

and theres not a influx of people coming in

you can tell by the merging of servers

revenue was also only up due to covid

[cunning radish]

to be fair its hard to know total population % decrease or increase

since it's spread over servers

[ashen wharf]

this year might even be the last year they have huge profits

with how trash ds9 has been

[strong lynx]

All the things you are saying is pure speculation. The game has been steadily increasing in revenue for years and shows no sign of going bust. I dont see any elements of short-sightedness here. It is just a question of strategy.

You might not like their strategy, I don't, but that does not make it "short-sighted" as it is provably not.

[ashen wharf]

when digit was the sole company of the game in alpha it was a test run and flooded with star trek fans eager to see a game throughout the 2 1/2 years majority of those people are gone a few 70 or 80 whales spending 1 million dollars (there have been) of course would look like a huge revenue burst

once scopely took over it got a bit of an extention to see how far they can push it

sure the game can last years

look at their walking dead game

no one really plays it and its dead yet its still going lol

[cunning radish]

ok

so stop playing it and go away

[ashen wharf]

shut up no one said anyone was stop playing

go troll galaxy chat

🤣

[cunning radish]

https://tenor.com/view/princess-derp-disney-snow-white-gif-5210308

[ashen wharf]

people are using short sighted for like the arc stuff by making majority of it behind a pay wall imo

not so much the game

ive skipped i think the past 3 ship releases now

and majority of the officers aswell

[full umbra]

Short-sighted as in not fixing bugs, not making sure new content works before shipping (Mantis), not fixing tech debt (incursions & TC lag, glitches caused by poor coding) leads to bigger problems down the line and loss in revenue that they could have had if the game worked better and players kept playing & kept spending rather than leaving or switching to f2p. Speculation perhaps but common sense.

[wise spire]

Cool that golden shields help a lot during a PvP event 👍

Just not lasting very long

[wise spire]

Maybe cause people don't just want to drop what they have invested money in....

[strong lynx]

Sure, the sunken-cost fallacy is in effect here but that does not prove that a revenue-only focus is a short sighted model. Maybe short-sighted in the sense that most players, seeing that Digit/Scopely focus so much on the P2W and cash-shop aspects of the game, will be unlikely to play any of their future games.

But the game itself, using a popular IP, to court a bunch of whales and dolphins and then have them engage in a squirrel-wheel of getting increasingly bigger and better ships, is not short-sighted.

[obtuse shoal]

I'd disagree, current behaviour is short sighted unless they have determined that the game is in decline and they might as well squeeze it hard before it's gone. This is putting my prediction on the lifetime of the game itself in months now rather than years.

[versed flax]

How's the spreadsheet going Baboon?

[neat frost]

can't wait for the result to be "lol we lied it really was Sisko also the reward is two latinum"

[next sparrow]

Game will definitely be around for years but that isn't saying much

[neat frost]

they spent too much on licensing to give up lol

[jolly sun]

These iso chips, anyone know if this is the last store to spend them?

[desert laurel]

It is not. Expect to be able to use them in Dec too.

[shadow swan]

Cardessians say Kira/Miles 50/50, Jem'Hadar point mostly to Miles.

[green trail]

If you trust the jem'hadar 🙄

[shadow swan]

(update)

[mental escarp]

so I didn't realize that there was a hard limit for the refit store each week and I am afraid I am going to fall short of the refit even though I have plenty of iso chips. Did I screw myself, or can you put my mind at ease?

[shadow swan]

everybody falls short on Enterprise/D4/Augur refit

[desert laurel]

Not really, but it's out of your hands. Continue getting them, and see what happens in Dec.

[mental escarp]

I meant the Gold Cardassian Disruptor refit, sorry

[shadow swan]

That one too.

Maybe no limit in December, maybe not. What Candle said.

[mental escarp]

it just sucked that the last projectile refit let you spend all your iso right at the end to get what you could afford

and then the next event was hard capped to 5 per week

I completely missed that

[abstract gate]

Oh dear. I’m not up to date. Ty 👍

[soft knot]

Is there any information on material spend events if it stays a solo event or the old way of material spend events will return?

[main spindle]

@desert laurel should we wait for event reset to build this new armory building or is there no event attached to it

[desert laurel]

Wait, it's only a few min...

[scenic cloud]

🤔

[desert laurel]

There is an event expected.

[main spindle]

Ok thanks @desert laurel

[undone dew]

I love how the sms for building the new armory can’t be completed without spending money, smooth move

[spark zealot]

shouldn't those be "Heroic" as you absolutely cannot complete even MS1 without buying? (Well except we get gift chests, I guess...)

[pastel gale]

Same old, same old! Are you surprised? 🤷‍♂️

[undone dew]

Not in the least, it’s another blatant cash grab

[spark zealot]

look back into the game - there is a gift chest 😉

it only gets you to T6 but at least you can finish MS1 tomorrow 👍

[copper basin]

why the first level of point is at level 7 of the armory? So the events are only for cash players?

[cunning atlas]

Of course, this armoury is only here now because sales are down. You know people leaving and boring months and all that. This most likely has been on the shelf for months already as a emergency backup to fuel the greed

[scenic kernel]

sales were up 10% last month

[warped jasper]

Even with the update, the counters are aren't working

[sweet remnant]

@desert laurel since this SMS cannot be completed without spending (barring an "oopsie chest"), shouldn't this SMS be labeled as heroic?

[spark zealot]

look in your gifts tab, there is another gift waiting for you (or soon will be)

[lapis harbor]

💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩

[scenic kernel]

eco just said a chest is coming

[warped jasper]

Thanks

[main spindle]

Not even 1 milestone completed for building it how sad so much for waiting to build it@desert laurel

[spark zealot]

with tomorrows daily you get MS1, this is a 3 day event and pays out upgrade ressources, that - combined with the daily - should roughly get you to at least MS2 if not even all the way to MS4

[plucky ermine]

The espionage event should run again but it’s actually a 2d event

[oblique dock]

Free to play... will have it tomorrow once the FREE daily chest comes

[plucky ermine]

Gift 🎁 cheer

[undone dew]

That didn’t take long lol

[rough sandal]

2 worms and done for the day. 🙈

[oblique dock]

Thats the bigger issue

[main spindle]

@desert laurel i take that back just got the gift chest so that makes up for it

[plush rivet]

@pseudo rune sorry but the new gift chest only lets you get to lvl 6 with the Armory.... it does not allow you to "finish" the sms....

[pseudo rune]

That is not the chest I was referring to

There is another one coming that will have more parts and an avatar in it

[oblique dock]

event is 3 days!

[plush rivet]

oh you mean the 99.99 chest... ahh ok I see... no thank you

[knotty niche]

@modest frost @pseudo rune I assume the armory events were not labeled correctly The SMS should have been a heroic event because there's no way to complete it without making a purchase.

[hearty cairn]

Gift chest. Coming soon.

[knotty niche]

It was there this morning.

[hearty cairn]

That is the daily cliam

[plush rivet]

there have been 2 gift chests so for with Armory parts... one that had 150 in it and another with 1350 and 50 holo tokens for the new holo mission added today

[knotty night]

Woooo thanks for fixing the actians! Uhm….

[plush rivet]

im guessing theres going to be a 3rd maybe

[empty grail]

Hello hello what is the armory ?

[scenic kernel]

hello hello read the text in the middle of the screen

[main spindle]

Ok thanks i was going to complain again lol so hopefully that second gift comes soon

[pseudo rune]

Sorry to disappoint you

😛

[empty grail]

it is not noted where to find this building

[empty grail]

OK thank

[plush rivet]

might want to go read your patch notes and info from the #⭐-official-announcements section...

[lapis harbor]

Scopley stop adding crap to this game just to try and improve sales there’s way to much going on as it is

[plush rivet]

aye, its about a 2nd full time job

[austere ocean]

Done 4 Armoury upgrades but not have registered in the SMS top 50 comp

[oblique dock]

need to get to level 7 for 1 point

[plush rivet]

SMS is if you get to LVL 7/8/9/10

[main spindle]

Early information is good to have so we don't have to complain LoL we don't want to do it so as long as we are informed of the intentions then we're not disappointed

[fierce walrus]

So, another credit card event. Pathetic...

[plush rivet]

pretty much, unless there is a magical 3rd gift

[hearty cairn]

It's a 3-day event. the sms gives the new currency with each tier. which means tomorrow you will reach armory lvl7 and get the first milestone. because of the daily claim.

[austere ocean]

It was lag, lots of lag

[plush rivet]

well according to @pseudo rune there will be another chest with more parts and an avatar....

nm

they just changed it

so no 3rd gift

[hearty cairn]

I thought this one was supposed to have the Avatar.

[pseudo rune]

I was misinformed Tiger, the event has an avatar in it. This was the correct gift. I was just told it wasn't going to be out for a while but it apparently got out much sooner than everyone expected

[hearty cairn]

I didn't get one, though.

[pseudo rune]

I put an announcement out to clear everything up

[hearty cairn]

ah

[pseudo rune]

The Avatar is in the SMS, I apologize for the confusion

[hearty cairn]

ECHO IS THE SPY!

[pseudo rune]

[plush rivet]

so its still a CC event

With a second gift

[main spindle]

@pseudo rune should have had bek likes plants put the message out cuz now i am disappointed

[brisk ledge]

Hi eco. Points not counting for upgradig armory

[low marten]

its almost like the sms says lvls 7-10

[plush rivet]

na, its almost like people have trouble reading

[scenic cloud]

I love the Armory slb. Lol. 6 packs sold so far. And by who...lol

[pseudo rune]

You're right my bad

[pseudo rune]

Most likely scoring lag, I'm hopping into game right now to check as well. I've heard it's scoring for others

[plush rivet]

SMS only scores if you upgrade the Armory to lvl 7, 8, 9 and 10

[hasty lintel]

Lvl 7? With the gift and daily I cannot get past t6 today. @pseudo rune

[severe bridge]

@pseudo rune are we missing an event?

[grand belfry]

@pseudo rune This new content is great and all, but I would love to be able to access the content from 2 months ago (Alliance Starbase), how about you fix the stuff you already released before releasing more stuff.... pretty please with a cherry on top 🙂

[inner cave]

@pseudo rune I got the gift and daily claim for today. Armoury only at lvl 6

Announcement says lvl 7

[plush rivet]

thats where pretty much everyone is at, atm unless you go buy the armory pack

[versed osprey]

event is 3 days

[silver pike]

Some ops didn’t get the correct amount so they will get a second chest to fix that. The event is 100% f2p

[versed osprey]

claim your daily and you will be fine

[inner cave]

5 short

[versed osprey]

there is a daily claim

[inner cave]

Ops 42

[plush rivet]

after daily claim tomorrow you will get to lvl 7

[inner cave]

If you read my original post you will see I already claimed that

[hasty lintel]

Yes, ive claimed it and the gift and Im also 5 short

[bronze bloom]

Amazing, 30 mins ago upgraded armory and still no points for upgrade sms🤦🏼

[urban crown]

claim both gifts

[versed osprey]

me too, but there is one tomorrow

[silver pike]

#🏆-event-chat message

[plush rivet]

[urban crown]

nice thx 😄

[haughty summit]

Can anyone explain why my battlepass points don't align with my overflow points? There is a 4500 points discrepancy.

[uneven oak]

Restart app, I had something like this earlier but now in sync

[hasty lintel]

I considered the pack, then my alliance mates started posting how high their pack would get them and my pack sucked compared to that. I understand rss and mats scaling, but the Nadion should be the same, especially if the players who get a higher lvl armory for the same money can attack me at my op lvl.

[haughty summit]

Should have defaulted to the on/off option. Cheers mate!

[stray breach]

What’s happened to the away team event? Got rid of it for a spend event on the armoury?

[tacit ruin]

How many 99$ packs does scopely expect players to buy? Cash grab BS same old crap different day.

[stray breach]

We haven’t made enough money this week……let’s add a new building and another currency 👀

[indigo haven]

Scopely doesn’t recognize $5-$20 packs as money makers

[soft knot]

Is there any information on material spend events if it stays a solo event or the old way of material spend events will return?

[lethal lotus]

The armory event and the gifts work if you didn't already build the armory before the event started

[scenic kernel]

who knows. but unlikely to change this month

[ornate geyser]

Nope. Didn’t build until after rollover, claimed both chests, 5 currency short of first milestone. We’ll see what happens next…

[uneven oak]

I did everything after the event started and ended up 5 points short, like others

3 chests ? why not putting al the nadon particle into one ? too easy ?

because math is rough right in the morning

or they looked out of the window at the math-lessons 😄 😄

[grizzled mulch]

Something tells me there are still more math blunders coming with the Armory. Willing to bet that the daily chest won’t give enough extra for lvl 8 tm

[tacit holly]

so past level 38 the armory costs $50 per level roughly lol

[final crow]

no different than treasury?

[tacit holly]

so you G4 and G5 get your wallets out if you want your ship abilities

[lament rapids]

So everyone is still 5 short correct?

[final crow]

yes but another chest will be out soon with 25 more

they don't know, how to count right 😄

@silver pike any chance of getting some guidance with "The Defiant Part 2" issue?

[silver pike]

Hmm 🤔 is it still an issue now? I think it was more of a lag issue before

[final crow]

yes it still is

my mission is stuck at 803 of 3500 Antimatter Units even though I collected way more

[silver pike]

@pseudo rune

[final crow]

I tried in Ammaga as well as other dominion systems

do i need to dock my ship for it to count?

[pseudo rune]

This could be a bit of lag, is everything else scoring ok or are you seeing delays in other places?

[final crow]

i don't see any delay in scoring when I use my disco ability to hop between systems

[pseudo rune]

Oh yeah generally you have to doc your ship

Oh wait, maybe not? Try Docing it I'm not sure

[final crow]

i believe docking is needed when there's a mining event that says so

[pseudo rune]

I don't have my Amalgam yet

[final crow]

this is a simple "grinding hostiles" thing

ok confirmed -- I had to return my ship to base to drop off the cargo. this is new.

beforehand missions would behave like lat rush where you just needed to reset a node to update your score/counts

Interesting, let me follow up, thanks Sulu

But it counted at least right

?

[final crow]

yes I'm now at the "Defeat the Jem'Hadar First"

d4/augur

anyone have the cost to upgrade armory from 7 into the 50's? By my calculations im seeing somewhere around $5000

pocket money for op50

[tacit holly]

sure but is the return worth?

275% damage bonus vs hostiles?

[mental tulip]

Free refits for ships you don’t use anymore 🤷🏼‍♂️

[tacit holly]

just the uncommon ones

if you want to use say an augur that'll be $49

im guessing the g4 jump to $99?

bleeding whales so they are desperately trying to make up the losses by bleeding everyone else who is loyally supporting them 🤪

lets see how that works for them

[mental tulip]

If they bring the prices down to non-whale territory like we’ve asked since day one, it’ll work.

If this were a “death by a thousand cuts” game it would rake it in from the rank and file.

[tacit holly]

The problem is they don't release enough content fast enough to make up for the losses in revenue from the big spenders leaving.

[mental tulip]

It’s slow going because they work so hard on the details and accuracy.

Hey y’all quick question. Do players that already have the dark jelly get to participate in the iss jellyfish pursuit event for the chance to unlock the jelly?

Or is the event only for those that don’t have the dark jellyfish?

[ornate geyser]

Yeah, but that not how players actually spend. Tons of data on this…spending response is a power law curve. That’s why so many (big title) games have moved to the $100 pack model.

[rough frost]

If you already have it, you shouldn't be able to see the event

[formal summit]

Sweet thanks. Gonna be in the event this weekend. Just got up to level 39 a couple weeks ago so pretty excited

[red dawn]

Is there a source for this info?

[ornate geyser]

Tons. Google is your friend.

[crisp elbow]

Hey STFC
Where do I find the Daily faction event prime node

[red dawn]

6 minutes of googling was enough for me, mostly just opinion pieces

[ornate geyser]

Well, you can look at it that way. Or you can believe that these companies are super greedy and yet somehow intentionally choosing an approach that makes them less money. Up to you…

[red dawn]

Maybe try posting your response as a hypothetical answer as to why... rather than making a claim you can't support?

Yeah, we can debate whether or not Scopely is capable of delivering a quality product......or if they care enough for the players to even make an honest effort at it.....but I am quite certain that they know how to maximise the revenue.

[mental tulip]

Nobody in my alliance bought the $99 miner defense. Several went for the cheaper Horizon defense, even when they have a couple of faction miners. Cheaper works.

On that note, @pseudo rune did I read you right that there will be a chest to fix for the number of shards in that pack for early buyers so that it actually works for them? Got some grumpy alliance mates who refuse to come over here and ask and would rather just complain endlessly.

[cunning radish]

already sent out to some players apparently

some guy in rev's discord just got chest with 60 anyway

[prime warren]

@pseudo rune @modest frost will there be some sort of obvious disclosure of when the last time isolinear data chips will be usable, so that we can use them on mats before they're gone for good.

[mental tulip]

Stares at his 12k Talondarseks

[prime warren]

Exactly my point lol

It's a few hundred uncommon mats that I could make use of, but I've also been buying the limited refit shards. I've accepted I won't get a full unlock, but would hate to have left overs.

[abstract gate]

Tell them to come over here and complain endlessly, they’ll fit right in.

Of course you made a valid point. But on the other hand there are plenty of examples where this was proven wrong. Thats the too big to fail mentality. Like it was working like that before it will work in future. Like Thomas watson, IBM ceo who said in the 50s: I think there's a world market for maybe five computers.

And basing your argument on the fact that scopely is competent is, well, a bit on shaky grounds. At least my opinion 😉

[warm quest]

That's 2 pack quick and easy 😂😂

[rough frost]

Cross posting don't help, we might be several answering you not knowing another already did

[silver pike]

Nope read #🌠-rules-and-roles12

[keen citrus]

I reposted in here cos nobody replied in the other channel.

[abstract gate]

What kind of reply do you want? It’s probably the most complained about thing over the last 2 years. It doesn’t need a reply cos it’s right 😂

[silver pike]

You don’t need a response. You gave feedback.

[keen citrus]

Maybe one of the super duper devs can find out. 🤷‍♂️

[main spindle]

So the cloak mission gives 1 shard for the defiant cloak how do we get the other 119 shards?

[zenith bluff]

Buy them for 119€ sooner or later. 🤣

[bright elk]

What I struggle with is simple, why can't they have a stable platform of game play. I just don't get it, the game just crashes. Not for all but most. Makes no sense why there's not constant chat about this

Used to be if ur using iOS it was the worst, but now it can be any operating software

Year's long issue here, I just can't wrap my head around it

Expensive game, and no fix

[main spindle]

@bright elk sounds like u need a new device to play on my game doesn't crash

[bright elk]

Not at all, 2 year old iPad air

I even cleared everything from it, and devoted t just to this game

[true cypress]

Well thats your issue....its apple ha

[main spindle]

Its not always a game issue sometimes its a device or phone software issue

[bright elk]

85 players in my alliance, 80 must have a bad device I guess 😂

I guess what I'm really looking for is answers from scopely, but you never get them

I would spend money if the game was stable, but it's not remotely close to being stable

[cunning radish]

it's pretty stable

everyone is in and playing arent they

[placid scroll]

No need to pay more. Just using the Web Store with the same price as pc/android stores.
Also gives an extra currency for example recruit and ship packs ect. 😉

But yes: I think you will need to wait to get defiant cloaking for free. Same for players like me don’t owning a uc faction ship (strongest ships augur, iss jelly and pillum) to get refits from the new building cause it gives only for uc faction ships for free 😞

[true cypress]

i meant that apple has more issues with this game than android.

[placid scroll]

Ah ok. Personally I don’t have much issues with the game, probably not all apple devices 🤔

Other questions. Will there be any possibility to get refits for rare or epic ships f2p?
The description says it will unlocking for free, when armory reaching the required level, but only for uc faction ships - and my strongest ships are augur, jelly and pillum 🙈

[pseudo rune]

Yup these should have been now sent out and in their gifts tab! Wanted to confirm they got them

[pseudo rune]

I believe there will be messaging on when they're all to be used, but I'll also follow up and make sure there is some kind of announcement about it

[clever timber]

I upgraded the armoury before 5pm so am really low down on the event rankings. Can this be resolved?! Seem very unfair.

[scenic cloud]

YES,! $

[hasty lintel]

That would be greatly appreciated

[south arrow]

Eco can you explain why a level 54 player is not high enough to get g5 in and event?

[silver pike]

@pseudo rune 🙏

[pseudo rune]

Let me find out, what event didn't you have?

[elder comet]

Same 🗑️ with Ops 45 not getting g4 rare/epic in Control the Wormhole SLB (armada)

[pseudo rune]

@south arrow

[elder comet]

Never got any answer to this even tho multiple people had the same question
#🏆-event-chat message

[south arrow]

The many weyonuns

I didn’t even get common g5 so mine was worse 🤣

[bright elk]

Easy event if u have tc, just had another alliance park a ship in our tc and rat packed it with realta hits and done 👆👆👆

[elder comet]

You should always get the mats in events as soon as you have the proper ops level to refine it. so for g4 ops 41 should get g4 uc, ops 43 should get g4 rare, ops 45 should get g4 epic. Tho you could always give it out earlier. But events should AT LEAST give the mats that you already unlocked!

[agile steeple]

@pseudo rune are the devs ok?

[main spindle]

This is new pink Mission picture

[haughty idol]

Any word on the missing pack? Or is it intentional <@&509691205798592532> ?

[sly kelp]

I mean I’ll also settle for the $$ packs for the D4 and augur refits in store again…

[neon badge]

Disco missing too

[violet fable]

Anyone know more from the spy clues? It appears the interrogation part is totally RNG....GARBAGE

[modern estuary]

@pseudo rune fix that damn back button bug............ yes todays patch reintroduced it

[modern estuary]

it was a crappy chance based event have you not realized it? there is 0 actual way to determine who the spy is. there are no readable clues to really have any idea

[hearty cairn]

It's supposed to be a collective effort where everyone pools their interrogation results together.

This wasn't clear though because my alliance did it but didn't share their results because they didn't know. I only found out after they had already done it. We gotta have communication about this kind of thing before it releases so we can prepare. Like how we were well informed about Incursions before it launched.

[modern estuary]

it is nothing more than a lottery based event if you have the ticket you win if not you dont

[hearty cairn]

It seems that way, but I disagree.

[modern estuary]

what info have you found to indicate who did it?

noone has any info, yes cisco got ruled out so if you were cisco did it your out

it is completely upto scopely to decide who did it, chances are they will look at stats to see who many voted miles or kira and decide to pay out on least voted so they hand out less rewards

[pale wind]

https://tenor.com/view/conspiracy-theory-explaining-gif-13403485

[hearty cairn]

I don't do cynical takes.

[modern estuary]

but not without it's merit at the end of the day noone can predict which one without any meaniful information

[hearty cairn]

The pooling of results is supposed to be a clue. That's how finding a spy works. You're not always going to be 100% until the end, or close to it.

[modern estuary]

had scopely added actual meta to each datapad we got that dropped hints then maybe but we didnt get that

[hearty cairn]

I was hoping more for that than just "intel brief" tokens.

[modern estuary]

this tells us nothing

[pale wind]

from what i understand the clues so far have only ruled out sisco and not pointed to either one yet

[molten shale]

Overall it just feels frustrating and I don't care who the answer is. Heh.

[modern estuary]

its a lottery nothing more

[pale wind]

i'd go more with bingo

[modern estuary]

if you win its cos you have more of the winning one than the other 2 when scopley draw that ball

[pale wind]

i somehow doubt the reward is going to be based on how much intel you have

more likely to be 1 maybe 2 redeems and the rest sits in your inventory forever

[modern estuary]

it will be based on how many intel datapads you have, the more that match the ball they draw you win if not that ball you lose

if they pull kira ball i win if the pull miles ball i lose simple

[pale wind]

you still win

we have someone who went all in sisco and he's out

[hearty cairn]

your assumption is based on the idea that they don't know and will RNG it at the end. I disagree that that's true. So I'm not convinced, even though it seems that way.

Also, you get rewarded either way.

[pale wind]

i agree with that

although i do hope its kira and based on tickets 😅

[hearty cairn]

I went sisko and miles the first month, then changed to Kira 100% in the middle of the second. Gonna be an interesting final part for sure.

[modern estuary]

i ruled out cisco cos under star trek folklore he is half human half prophet (mum prophet dad human) hence why he was emmisary

[pale wind]

all i really hope for is that they open up cardassian beam to be able to unlock it

[whole yacht]

And Scopely is known to follow star trek lore coughcloakingEntycough 🙂

[wintry cypress]

People complaining feds didn't get cloaking in the beginning now people complaining they got cloaking

[scenic kernel]

they should have gotten cloacking detection, that would have made things interesting
