Methinks that if you are having an "incursion" event, you must first be able to "incur."

[iron axle]

Scopely being Scopely...no one is surprised. Par for the course. Substandard run by incompetence equals STFC.

@pseudo rune @desert laurel
Events reseted and still no crossover.......and the other aerver keep scoring

Epic failure from scopely....ticket open !

Do you figure Eco has a "we're sending out compensation gifts for those affected" message already drafted?

[warm vessel]

It's as if they're doing this intentionally....just to keep our expectations low.

[stone hamlet]

how do you break something that was already working?

the incompetence is staggering

[peak cradle]

“We are not sending out compensation”

My understanding is it took Eco forever to convince his overlords that a comp chest was needed re: last month’s debacle.

@desert laurel Sorry, can't post on event feedback......

@desert laurel

Can you please pass to the maintenence team !

[midnight bone]

Faction hunt while incursion why just why

[wind fog]

Doesn’t matter, no incursion while it’s broken

[desert laurel]

Will have news about incursions in ~5min. The impact of G2-level scoring won't make the difference either way.

[prime carbon]

Lower than they already were? 😆

i can understand comms frustration and burn out. would be nice is scooply will hire some QA and actual engineers

That costs money, and as we have already seen, Scopely likes to run with the most incompetent, skeleton crew they can get.

Bye week chest is pure trash

what the hell is a bye week chest?

[waxen fable]

please pin this for future lulz

[dull pagoda]

No problems here - scopely

[upbeat quiver]

All those people that couldn't be reached and got booted and looted so the other server didn't get points... This is the reason we all hate incursion

[drowsy wyvern]

How can one company continuously screw up so bad? It's actually pretty impressive how incompetent they are

There's nothing more to see here. Move along.

@pseudo rune this is unacceptable people changed how they play mining Monday in response to incursion and all your giving out is a lame bye week chest? It not like this was a new feature you were running that broke.

[prisma dome]

@modest frost @pseudo rune I think S16 deserves all the rewards as though we won. A bye week chest isn’t good enough. Being the top winningest sever in the whole game, we were gonna smash our opponent, as usual.

[placid cipher]

Maybe scopely should fix their servers and lag and all it's other issues before trying to run events like an incursion

[ashen wharf]

s16 wants 1 parsteel

[late parrot]

They fear their new Saudi overlords too much to trim the money tree with actual performance

[chilly pulsar]

A "bye week" chest as compensation for your massive failure. That is pure bull**** !!!

[stone hamlet]

at least giving us the rewards associated with Incursion would be appropriate!

[placid cipher]

litterally take the game offline for 24 hours to try and fix all the broken stuff give us the daily stuff we would of got and then all the heat they are getting for an unstable game wont be as prominant

[late parrot]

No idea, but this is beyond pathetic at this point

[gentle cobalt]

incursion canceled but still shild not working in lvl20+ and tc 😂😂

[stone hamlet]

maybe stability would be increased if they let us offload all the junk in our inventories

[spare perch]

What doest this bye week chest give? I assume its the same as winning all events.

[gentle cobalt]

half I think

[spare perch]

This game has so many bugs, they might rename in Klendathu.

[placid cipher]

100% they cant even organise an incursion event without lag most of my server was actually eager for it this time

[placid cipher]

come on you apes you wanna live forever

[gleaming zephyr]

The shield are still not working in 20+ systems despite the incursions event being removed.

[fast ruin]

At least they’re consistent. Consistently bad.

[stone hamlet]

I just wanted coin to get Defiant BPs

that grind sucks

No

The only way to get them to pay attention is to stop buying packs, otherwise they don’t care

[chilly pulsar]

that'll never happen lol

[odd cliff]

Any other business would have gone bankrupt a long time ago

[eager nimbus]

Amazing, so event is cancelled. Moving back to territory and can’t shield since Incursions is running 😂😂😂

[late parrot]

But we are Pavlov’s dogs… new arc = buy buy buy

[inner cave]

Even though incursions is cancels the shield dropping in 20+ systems is still active

[spare perch]

Speak for yourself, i spent 20 euros on this game and still regret it 😅

[knotty wave]

@pseudo rune I am afraid proposed compensation is not acceptable in any shape or form. This is beyond ridiculous. I would expect to hear official and sincere apology to all players who spend their resources and possibly money. Also I would expect that compensation is going to be increased by a lot, at least part of potential rewards which could be gained.

[fast ruin]

I’ve moved back to TC. Shields working just fine here.

[tiny garden]

Right? "bye-week" chest is worse than losing. just send everyone a win chest - minimum.

[spare perch]

Is @pseudo rune still on this server?

[fast ruin]

Possibly went out to chain smoke right now. I’d do that if I had her job.

[late parrot]

Give everyone, ALL winners rewards… including SLBs

[regal dust]

Who else lost incursion coins, 300 here

[fast ruin]

Darn whales aren’t going to care that much though.

[late parrot]

I spent ship xp, then they took that event down… which is Bait and Switch @pseudo rune … that is breaking many state and federal laws

Try and explain how I am wrong

[fast ruin]

The last announcement said 15 Dec?? 😜

[tall fiber]

@pseudo rune what about those of us that went big in the research, ship xp LBs that now disappeared. Any chance those resources get returned?

[weary nova]

Way to ruin not just incursions but the rest of the day too. Whose bright idea was it to put up cease fire shields? Wtf

[shrewd bluff]

Go to the app store of your device and give this game the rating it deserves.... then stop spending money on it. Best course of action that we have 🙂

[weary nova]

Fix the god damn game and stop adding content that breaks what’s broken

[ivory quail]

As they said, shielding in 20+ May still be broken - even with no incursion it’s disabled. Peace shields are the only way, to ensure people moving around and having A shield. It’s a giant mess, as usual

[upper atlas]

what kind of cool player lookup site is this?

[cobalt dew]

https://stfc.wtf/power very cool site

[fast ruin]

I mean after 5 years of adding content nonstop month after month, you’d think they’ll stop for one month or two and just fix and debug and rerun some of the old content. But no, let’s slap on more stuff on this mess of a code.

[prisma dome]

Lots of talk about winning because I’m in the top alliance in the whole game, in the top, undefeated server. How many times has 40 lost?

[ashen wharf]

whales fault

[sonic lintel]

A bye week chest is really pretty weak for another game failure, send out the winners rewards to everyone at least, some good sentiment

[fast ruin]

There are so many officers now that scrolling through the names have become tedious. And most of them won’t ever be maxed out.

[paper venture]

@pseudo rune @Bek the bye week chest is not enough. 1) people changed their normal mining Monday routine. 2) people got booted looted to stop the other server from scoring. 3) people got ships nuked in system clearing because it was to be incursions. All ROE goes out window it doesn’t matter where you are or what your doing. The bye chest is for the week off not your game not working as it should.

[stable crow]

ship purges aren't that important in incursions, you should consider skipping them.
whales not shielding is what causes servers to lose.

[fast ruin]

Incursions not running is really an indication of a deeper systemic issue that Scopely has failed to address for too long and now that has come back to bite ‘em in the butt

[vocal silo]

@pseudo rune get at least the announcement right its 5, december not 15

[proud wing]

it was going well until you said ROE, and which point they lose all interest

[stone hamlet]

yeah, compensation isn't compensation if it's not related to opportunities that were lost

[sturdy juniper]

yo yo

[halcyon cloak]

No compensation on ALB Rewards 😡 already spent some millions ShipEP

[civic wigeon]

That's because in english there is an extra "1" so in your date format gets added to 5 Dec 🙂

[paper venture]

Doesn’t change they messed up which changed how people played.

[proud wing]

indeed.

[sonic adder]

serious question, why the f should i buy packs when game is broken and scopely shows zero interest in fixing the bugs?

[ashen wharf]

cuz you would be like everyone else

that have been doing that for 5 years

lol

[rare verge]

Wow 3 Una shards in compo yeeeeees just what I’ve always wanted Xmas has come early 🫤🥹🥹

[odd sinew]

Anyone know if the incursion consumables in event store that aren’t defender/raider dependent will still work?

[stable crow]

they still work

just popped a warp boost

[silver solstice]

You shouldn't, but you are gonna. FOMO - Fear Of Missing Out. It's what this whole game is predicated on.

[cursive berry]

Scopely can fix their way out of a broken bag and yet won’t hire or clean their house of incompetence! How many incursions have failed, how many new releases were not plagued with bugs ? How much money have we all spent in doing preparation for an event that did not occur. Their “gifts” don’t even cover 2% of the cost we endured. And not to mention getting our team raided for nothing who going to compensate them or compensate the rss we may used to defend… scopely with their useless comebacks, responses to the problems is so pathetic it’s incompetence at it peak. issues here are never ending while little to nothing gets done. I’ve spent a ton of money here and they assigned me a contact that does not even know the one issue was fixed incompetence at it best. I’m done with incursions and at a point close to being done with scopely my legacy I was #1 one on my server and I got mostly bad service on questions and issues…. Truly a sad day for me. Thanks for nothing Scopely but always find a useless pack to sell don’t you? You all need to wake up, don’t spend your hard earned money here. Not sure this was the best place for this message and apologize is not but it was the 1st chat I saw…

[fleet fox]

Anyone else only getting 10pts for concentrated lat?

Was 50

[stable crow]

they nerfed it for higher levels.

[last sun]

Are you over ops 50? Welcome to Scopy’s new method of turning the crank.

[fleet fox]

That hurts

[last sun]

It’s absolutely deceitful, greedy and churlish. Exactly what you would expect from them.

[balmy verge]

<@&509690795536941056>

Are You Prepared?

Today’s debacle w/ Infinite Incursions (something that was nearly flawless last month) does not bode well for tomorrow’s arc release (after last month’s arc release).

Are there plans in place to take the time today to get the devs all looking to dot the ‘i’s and cross the ‘t’s (doing a post-mortem on Incursions can wait with event cancellation) so that tomorrow goes flawlessly (so we have an inverse of last month).

If things do go wrong, are you engaging with the “powers that be” to outline comp chests based on longevity/severity of issues so that players will be gobsmacked at the speed. I’m not suggesting giving the house away, merely knowing now what your disaster recovery plans are; after last month, I am expecting the worst based on last.

As a player who spends real world money on the game, I do expect in-game value & absence of real world frustration waiting for drips or drabs or no communication. Having worked in tech for 20 years I know it is possible to say “no idea when it’s going to be fixed” but with a cadence that keeps people up-to-date and not feeling left in the dark or getting repetitive. If whoever is charge of communication needs help, have them contact the marketing team - they’re good at saying nothing in a way that makes people feel good (did lots of work with them).

Please take these precious few hours to be fully prepared (or at least start a handbook for the future).

[balmy verge]

I’d like to suggest Scopely re-use old content from the last couple years (but likely new to most) that they know works, focus on helping source officers, and get the basics of fixing stuff done.

[balmy verge]

At least you have comp chest … 😒

[rare verge]

@balmy verge no I don’t

[balmy verge]

Then I don’t feel bad … read post as though you did

[mint tundra]

Ever seen Scopely say this?!🤣

Plarium apologise even when their "bugs" are unknown to most.

3 months, never had a problem...

@spiral current Be. More. Plarium😁

[main spindle]

@pseudo rune when is that bye week chest going out?

[mint tundra]

@pseudo rune please relate back to your team. The occasional apology, and ownership of Scopely's mistakes, would go a long way...

[soft tulip]

yeah ... uhm ... NAH

got to keep things interesting man, whats wrong with you ? 🙂

[balmy verge]

I certainly hope you’re not my target audience. 🧐

I’m also known for unreasonably expecting the reasonable.

[obtuse shoal]

yeah.... and none of us are surprised...

[hard glen]

I know how it feels. The game is actually just a circus, ran by incompetent clowns on so many levels. It’s really hilarious if it wasn’t so sad to see they still manage to make a ton of money while being absolutely horrible in their jobs. Scopely is the prime example of a company with gross negligence as a motto, getting away with borderline criminal attitude towards their customers.

[opal nacelle]

🛡 So Shields may or not work tonight … I can’t wait for the salty tears tomorrow 😭 yum yum yum 😂

[wind fog]

It’s a safe bet that something will be broken tomorrow

[little rapids]

And the Borg Cube beam is not working…

Wasn’t supposed to work during incursion…

[mint tundra]

Roger

[paper venture]

The arc before the last arc was a launch disaster as well.

[ivory quail]

Don’t forget the compensation only is available before maintenance. It’s amazing how little they respect their players, and how little they truly want to give, when the errors are all on THEIR side.

[balmy verge]

Meesa has memory of this guy …

[storm vigil]

@pseudo rune the comp gifts were nice, but for the event it self people who do not have a mantis have to wait for this event. would have been nice to get a few blueprints or more currency, people have to wait so long to get this ship. I understand the merger causes issues but not having this is a 30+ day wait until the next to get not even half the ship

[balmy verge]

The event store is open & you can buy Mantis BPs there.

With the comp chest of 2800 you should be able to buy at least 28 (unless you’ve spent elsewhere).

[hearty island]

TAKE THAT 138 I guess you will never want to try again 💪

[storm vigil]

still sucks though because you can obtain so much more when the event is running, (this helps though)

[novel hollow]

was it actually in cosmic cleanup?

[covert frigate]

This is the Best Incursion Ever! 🥳

[languid kayak]

Sure hope we still get the research boost post incursion. That was the real prize.

[wind fog]

Mantis was never in Cosmic Cleanup Store

[snow oak]

just if you win, no one wins, no one gets the full reward. Scopley wins once more 😄

[zinc moat]

Why not ? It was the best Incrusion ever 😂

[glacial peak]

Any reason surveys are not spawning in amalgaman area??

[turbid kayak]

All the survey captains got together and used their tetryon beams to prevent the crossover between servers. They're out partying after their success.

[balmy verge]

A couple officers and I won’t argue with you on that … but still better than a pat on the head & just the Una shards & server exo

[fiery compass]

probably hunted to death between the increased velocity of the Amalgam loop & the cube loop; generally hitting the other hostiles there will spawn more surveys

[proud wing]

this is when you take advantage of hostile hunt and batter the klingon/romulans with 1 ship and kill the surveys with the amalgam

[haughty yew]

Sure would be nice if they added the voyager officers to the incursion store. To compensate for all the headaches this month.
Hint, wait to collect

[storm vigil]

agreed

[opal mantle]

Is it going to be below decks again tomorrow or the start of a whole new arc?

Should be something new right?

[fiery compass]

i would expect "make it so part 2" featuring officers that synergize with ent-e Picard/data

also we can expect an end of arc event store including the Borg cube and hopefully the lower decks officers from two & three months ago, in addition to pic & data

[opal mantle]

Oh yah, kinda forgot about the borg cube

[dull pagoda]

Please stop releasing new content when the current content is so broken

[mint tundra]

@pseudo rune Sounds great, but maybe Scopely could make existing features work before adding new broken features?

Pretty please?

[still elbow]

ah joy another feature to fail while regular features like chat fail to function mproperly

[tropic rover]

Or even better support than waiting 5 days to reply to a ticket with ‘hi, hope it’s fixed, bye’ CLOSE.

[mint tundra]

I spent the last 2 weeks reassuring my teammates, and server, that they needent worry about relocating out of territory, or shielding.

Why?

Because how many times has incursions worked as advertised during the last 12 months?

3? Out of 12? And I think 3 is an overestimate

It's a safe assumption, Incursions WILL NOT work. 😤🤣😭🤣😍

[mint tundra]

Exactly 🤣

[waxen wyvern]

More features adding onto the mass of glitches...yay us.

[sharp raft]

A "brand new" rehash of buggy material to get stuff that's not really game-changing. Yep, sounds like a Scopely arc to me.

[soft tulip]

the more important thing is … DID YOU TEST THIS before actually releasing ? because i believe everyone wants to see what’s going to get broken now

[wise crescent]

Skip the event arc and fix the crashing every minute !!

[green trail]

Is there a mechanism to make sure trolls won't join your wave defense to intentionally fail it?

[lost abyss]

Plan it out ahead of time and have five people ready with ships

[green trail]

That seems like scopely putting their own responsibility on the players 🤷

[celest relic]

Can you star the new armadas?

Keep others out, keep people from sniping into a whale armada?

[lost abyss]

One, it’s not an armada, think a tower defense event, two, just plan crap out beforehand so you know who is there instead of just randomly flying around

[leaden talon]

Guess Faction hunt is broken again

[cursive ledge]

How many wants to make a bet that not a single ops 30-39 will be able to do these because all the 40+ will hog it for themselves and it'll be one alliance that'll be doing it.

[cunning radish]

huh?

[patent sedge]

?

[ornate geyser]

Of course they tested it. That’s how they knew it wouldn’t break Incursions.

[nocturne cave]

this new content sounds like a whole lot that can go wrong.

L👀king forward to Bugs : New and radically mutated old ones.

Excited for Ranking Events that I can’t participate in, they are now essentially Whale watching competitions. Biggest bank account wins.

Most of all : Full of anticipation for the increased unstable nature of STFC.

Don’t pay, can’t play. You’ll probably get less than 2 minutes at current rate of decay.

[abstract gate]

Why introduce new ‘content’. Fix current stuff first. Don’t you guys reflect at all? After yesterdays display of incompetence with the total failure of ‘Incursions’? Burying us with compensation chests isn’t a long-term solution.

[hexed gorge]

I feel like there are lots of new people on this server.

[heady mica]

Woohoo, acct reset to level 1. What garbage

[sage mango]

Getting a lvl 1 account before maintenance was a great start...

[waxen fable]

would be nice to have ~1-2 mo long QoL update for 5 years game to fix a slightly huge list of existing bugs though. patch notes are great.. not sure when these new features will work however 😁

[opal nacelle]

[prime carbon]

I love how their minds went "what can we do to distracted players from cough blocked word that doesn't work in-game?" to "let's add a mini game that won't work either!"
Curtain please

[lilac gate]

send coords.. will raid your rss

[sharp raft]

Wonder if they have finally fixed the xB Actian loot research so it works again. Not in the patch notes...

[abstract gate]

They need the new stuff to keep the pack offers up-to-date. Sad to see that ‘cash only’ is the main drive of the funky bunch 🤪

I get a lot of grumping and complaining from my team. Is there a compensation chest for that?

Maybe we should turn the tables … and asked to be paid to play this game?

If I would had to run an IT company with competent programmers like these … I would have 0 income 🤑

so does this arc have the event store?

[pale finch]

I'm wondering the same.

[pale finch]

Why so sure?

[misty frost]

Would be cool if alliances declared a system as Scopelys home for the sole purpose of all players going there to releeve stress attacking things in it knowing it is Scopely. Would be awsome knowing were all there for that reason

[coral niche]

Where can I access the new mini game?

[pale kestrel]

whenin station view if i read correctly

`Battle Simulator is Star Trek Fleet Command’s first mini-game, allowing Commanders to engage with iconic starships in real-time battle simulations. To access battle simulation, select the Satellite hovering over your station in the station view screen and fight through ten levels to reap the rewards, such as a full unlock of James T. Kirk, avatars, and much more!

`

[coral niche]

Exterior station view to be exact. Thanks Najakhan

[grim crater]

Don't use new stuff. It will be tied to arc and you're just wasting points that could be made

[coral niche]

Better wait with the mini game indeed. I couldnt make it respond at all and lost my daily try.

[burnt girder]

You can try battle simulator as much as you want. There is no "daily try"

Milestone 4 is ridiculous btw

How can I finish fraction hunt if I can't kill any hostiles

Does the new Arc start today at event reset?

[pale kestrel]

if they have things working correctly with the events

[dusk zodiac]

[white summit]

Stop spending on the game for a while

[glossy crypt]

Can’t kill hostiles and game really laggy all updates have been done

[hearty timber]

@inner wolf Tier up ships

[misty ridge]

this crap isn't fixed by any means. Attack a hostile and flip a coin whether or not the attack goes through

[glossy crypt]

Instead of adding some crappy shooting game to the outside of our stations why not actually fix some problems

[dim zenith]

Hard to complete faction hunt when you can’t attack hostiles 🤦‍♂️

[pale kestrel]

third time recalling my mining ship home to only watch it fly through another system and still not dock. lol

[clever cliff]

Have they changed ENT E Troi's officer ability from what it said this morning ? im sure it wasnt what it is now...

[winter quarry]

Build and tier low level faction ships

[ionic shore]

Lol we have a player from server 108 on 180, we weren't even paired for incursions 😅😅🤣🤣

[winter quarry]

😂 didn’t know they purchased the Lost in Space IP

[west atlas]

seriously Kirk shards??? WTF How about someone who hasn't been in the game for 5 years.....

[obtuse acorn]

My issue with Wave Defence is it having Faction hostiles. I'm trying to get Rom's to positive so dont want to be fighting them @pseudo rune can we get confirmation if they do effect Rep please?

[misty ridge]

yeah, no, I'm not building more ships for this BS now

[distant canopy]

It’s ment for beginners.

[misty ridge]

"Build a D'Deridex" is for beginners?

[pale kestrel]

mine says Battle the Romulan D'Deridex

[wanton cloud]

these are meant for ops 1-6

the requirement for stage 10 = upgrade to ops level 6

[mossy vector]

Are your shields okay in the plus 20 zones or should we wait until the noon break?

[dreamy patio]

shields are fine in 20+ zones

[iron mica]

You know, if you ignore the stuff thats not working like hitting hostiles, warp travel and ship repair, its a smooth launch

[dreamy patio]

if the store is working, clearly the rest is working

[lost tide]

Can we remove the useless pos from outside my base, as I'm over L6 and maxed Kirk years ago . FFS Scrotelly

[turbid kayak]

No. You need to learn how to do it right.

[lost tide]

😂😂Have you been on it? What exactly does it teach you?

[turbid kayak]

I did a couple rounds with it. It has a ship on the viewer. there are red circles. You tap the circles and then hit fire. After X hits the section is damaged... depending on how well you did, you get 1 -3 stars.

IMO - it's a time sink thing to play with. It doesn't really have any benefits except a way to get officer shards. Maybe the higher stages will unlock other officers... but I'm thinking this might be something that only gets done when I need to poop.

[weary nova]

Hey Scopely, hire me to be your quality manager because you clearly don’t employ one

[neat echo]

Anyone knows about those waves? pve or PvP crews?

[turbid kayak]

It's hostiles. PVE

[weary nova]

Just because you test doesn’t mean you have quality control. Clearly it’s not working if everything you release has defects

[turbid kayak]

You could... you know... read the announcement and watch @modest frost 's very well done video explaining it while you wait for the game to work.

[languid kayak]

Red or yellow hostiles though?

[turbid kayak]

According to the very well put together video... that showed demonstration battles and the waves in action... they are red.

[languid kayak]

Thank you... and thank you for pointing out my lack of actually watching the help videos. 🤣

[turbid kayak]

My pleasure.

[urban crown]

we have now 3 battlepasses? crazy greedy comp

[celest rover]

Scopely you guys should really refrain from starting events on the same day as an update. Your track record has failed over and over again for a successful launch of a product!

[narrow violet]

pve, faction hostiles; actian hostiles; swarm hostiles; etc appear. i have started 3 so far and managed to survive only 2 waves, you get attacked by a ton of hostiles! you really need all players to be highly attacking with both ships! to defend the base

lame thing about the waves you cannot see whos already in before you join, so i was always host. not joining a random one

[tidal storm]

Unable to join wave defences ..lagg

[distant ravine]

@pseudo rune Can we request a wave chat when you join? So we can coordinate start times and who demands where?

Also some kids of pre start chat so we can coordinate ship types etc?

[narrow violet]

good thing to ask if these hostiles count towards the hostile daily limit....

[silent torrent]

Ship stuck glitching in dock after recall during mission wont allow repairs

[glossy marlin]

These defence event is too buggy. Too much lag, ships stuck in combat and reds appearing on top of station with no warning! Unplayable!

[obtuse acorn]

so..much..lag..

[nocturne cave]

@pseudo rune the new content is not working

[weary niche]

playing via PC, do you know how to toggle to 2nd weapon in the battle simulator, is there a shortcut key?

[narrow violet]

[abstract pollen]

Just click on it

[rare rune]

I’m surprised there’s no Disco Sec31 refit in the event store this time. Seems like an obvious one.

[lost tide]

You really would they think would have learned from the monumental feck up last month? Then they do it again

[nocturne cave]

@pseudo rune takes a minute to kill a hostile in this new content.. what is this incompentence

@pseudo rune better line up the comp chest already for tokens wasted on this crap

[smoky cosmos]

I cannot join I got enough tokens

[orchid nest]

Mission doesn't continue, hostil killed but he's still in the system, can't attack anymore, changing system doesn't help either 😠😠👍🏾 good job

[loud creek]

The pulsating rings on the wave systems is going to give someone a epileptic fit

[raw ibex]

@pseudo rune game is unplayable at moment, can’t attack hostiles properly, getting stuck in battle when attack actually works and then there’s the laaaaaaaagggggggg 🤦‍♀️

[neat echo]

You need no lag too

[marble kayak]

Honestly. Does Scopely actually β test new game mechanics???

Wave Defense is broken

[narrow violet]

yep 1 round game crashed before it started... 2nd time lost one ship to "stuck in battle"

[neat echo]

I could target one hostile and the fight was endless

[marble kayak]

During wave defense my ships were either stuck in battle or would “fight” a hostile, but the hostile would continues onward to the center base. And I’m pretty sure my 145M tally can kill a baby borg probe in one battle…

After the first round my ships would target the hostile, fly up to them, then stall and not engage

If I thought I’d get anything other than a canned response of “too bad so sad” I’d send in a help ticket.

[hot palm]

Tokens wasted because of lag, are we getting a comp for it? Or is that in the 4th paid battle pass after sneaking in a 3rd one this month? Use the money you get to fix the game already, pay your servers and hire coders....

[fresh summit]

[fair lichen]

menos implementar cosa nuevas y resuelvan antes todos los problemas del juego que es imposible jugar relajadamente👎

[muted frost]

At the moment, the scopelys are probably greeting every bit with a handshake at the individual events, they are loading so slowly.

[prime phoenix]

Pve Don t Work. Wie bescheuert sind eigentlich die Programmierer?

[muted frost]

Ja, geht echt auf keine Kuhhaut mehr! Spiel ist nahezu unspielbar.

[fierce beacon]

Scopely: Incapable of competence.

[quartz ore]

so... how does reducing sheild health more than 100% work? or does 400% refer to a stat that they don't mention? (e.g. 400% of your defense)

[proud wing]

Scopely maths

[pulsar bloom]

in the new event store will it be possible to earn enough bps for an entire ship?

[proud wing]

At T5, it’s 1600%

[waxen fable]

well at least all packs are rolled out and deducting as intended

[pulsar bloom]

assuming you play every day that is

[languid flax]

Y'all really doing your best to increase churn

[quartz drum]

same issue here🎉

[thin pelican]

Same here

[waxen fable]

patch reviews when

[digital bone]

same

[somber cedar]

Eco said somewhere it's % of attack

[waxen fable]

feeling sorry for the new com tho, imagine joining this trashy hell last 3 updates

[sour shore]

Anyone else's simulator building disappear?

[proud wing]

That makes more sense, the abilities are usually a percent of some skill

[slim trail]

same issue here

[crimson barn]

@pseudo rune Losing wave defences because of lag is such a great feeling 😒

[jade depot]

Issue with scopely again they haven't fixed the issue that was going on they are trashing this game with all this useless stuff tring to make more money I see all the💩signs you think they see them but asking snobs to think of players is to much shame on you scopely.

[torpid marsh]

@pseudo rune mission bosses get stuck on zero health and wave defence is ruined with lag on 121

[dull pagoda]

Sorry about the rollout of last arc guys. Here’s something worse - scopely

[abstract gate]

@pseudo rune just wasted 200 section 31 cyphers to have the battle completely lag out.

[paper venture]

@pseudo rune new mission classified 1 is broke doesn’t work.

[brittle mulch]

@pseudo rune - I lost 100 to try Waves - greata idea... too bad the lag makes it impossible. I'll try again.... when you say it is fixed!

[jade depot]

Nothing is working right and they want money they should be paying the players

[light jolt]

Anyone else get a Zombie yellow mission hostile (pirate) after step 4 in "classified". It won't complete the step, but I can't attack the zombie hostile.

[waxen fable]

be sure they tested it before rollout

[high arrow]

Is there any new holodeck mission?

[jade depot]

Zombies. Dragons what a laugh they make this game

[waxen fable]

all normal engineers went to their flagman monopoly project it seems

[paper venture]

Multiple on my fleet.

[lapis harbor]

Wow, straight into the next arc no incursions

[sonic gazelle]

so now we went from 1 battle pass to 3? seriously?

[jade depot]

You can't buy the commander out right you have to buy commander pack and battle pass to get him talk about greed

[opaque latch]

great, fights in wave defenses take 20-30 secs... good luck with that. 🤦🏻‍♂️

[sudden ermine]

Yup wasted credits trying a broken event.

[dense bridge]

@pseudo rune Is scopely going to give us anything for trying the wave defense and dying due to the lag? The hostiles are fast enough but when you get stuck fighting 1 hostile for a minute it kinda is a guaranteed fail.

[proper pollen]

Never ever try anything new the day of a patch. Scopely 101

[upper depot]

They need to just take a do-over day tomorrow...

[modest knot]

You need to remove the bp event, as you cant attack hostiles during wave attack!!

[dusk zodiac]

Wait, wave defence is just completely impossible? Lol

Level 28 hostiles with minimum 5m+ strength when I'm Ops 31??

I can't kill a single hostile

[paper venture]

@pseudo rune battlepass mission new and bigger feature not a good idea day 1.

[ebon marten]

anyone know what the new mission for op29 is called from the holodeck

[snow oak]

Why people letting start the new stuff, when it doesn't work? Jesus Christ, Scopley knows how to feck Just everything up

[narrow vault]

We keep buying packs.... so why should they change....?

[versed grail]

But it still shows the hostile in the system

[feral tartan]

Have the same o part 1. Killed pirate but it stuck.

[versed grail]

ok moving on then 😦

[sleek zenith]

I have two separate zombies. One in dossier 1 and another in captains table part 2. I should have quit after the first one. My question is are they going to push a fix for everyone or do we all have to submit tickets?

[modest knot]

Same problem here

[lime locust]

Worst launch ever in this game…..completely unplayable. Do they even test this crappp before launching it?

[neat musk]

i have to say stfc is hitting new lows

[modest knot]

We are the ones testing it 🙈 I usually get paid to do that! 😬

[paper venture]

Don’t see anything new in holo deck

[copper onyx]

Playing the [Classified] mission.. I get to attacking [redacted] (I know, maybe there was a better choice)... win the fight, but she still exists, as does her ! marker, and the mission is stalled!!!

[neat musk]

i expect next months arc will hit newer lows

[ebon marten]

it was called captains table. i brought the wrong mission. how do i get more of the diodes

[ivory quail]

They sell it in the online store for too high a price, as most things there

[paper venture]

Yours actually works?

[nocturne cave]

is there anything that works actually.. they managed to break everything this time

[languid kayak]

In past 10 minutes, game completely lagged out 3 times stuck at "🌀 Preparing" screen where I had to shut down, force stop the application and restart it. Server 36 playing on Android.

[ivory quail]

The cash shop works.

[rare rune]

Tried the wave defense, group was between 30 and 34, we all died on the first hostile we fought. Seems power on those hostiles is a bit off…

[copper onyx]

Only as far as the fight with her... then I'm left with her still existing, as still the same ! wanting me to attack

[dusk zodiac]

The power on the hostiles is beyond absurd

[wet dew]

every arc launch worse than before

[dusk zodiac]

Level 28 and the lowest one is 5 million?????

[empty grail]

Good evening. how to do this event please?

[hidden peak]

When do we have new refits in the event store ? Like a glass feesha or other stuff.

This looks outdated

[bitter snow]

What type of hostile was it, and what system?

[dusk zodiac]

The wave defence hostiles, Lagua

[bitter snow]

But was it an actian, a swarm, a regular fkr?

[dusk zodiac]

All of them are ridiculous

All minimum of 5m+

[cinder anchor]

@pseudo rune My missions are locked. I’m on chapter 1 part 4 I believe killing a pirate hostile. I killed the hostile and it froze. I can’t even start a new mission now. It will not let me engage or select the mission when I get into the system.

[rain root]

The 40 I did had like 200k hostiles

[dusk zodiac]

Full 5/5 game with Alliance members, some Ops 40 and 50+ and we couldn't get past wave 2

values are busted

[wet dew]

same on another mission

[bitter snow]

A 5m actian is very different to a 5m borg probe is very different to a 5m fkr hostile...

What hostiles were they? 😅

[dusk zodiac]

Ok thanks for being condescending, there's no difference when I can't kill a single one regardless of what it is

[bitter snow]

If I knew what it was I could maybe help, but have it your way 🤷

[gritty mirage]

Scopley way = we must wait till 20000 players have spent at least $200 on new packs before we can repair issue - because this is the amount t it will cost Scopley to go out a pay real programmers to come in a fix their lack of programmers poor skill sets…

[solemn brook]

The game just doesn’t work whenever they modify anything.

[wet dew]

maybe is better if you stop arcs next month until you fixed the game properly

[grizzled mulch]

Calendar doesn’t list an FC SLB, but new FC makes me think we should expect one. Anyone hear of any hints either way?

[bronze mauve]

Wave events could be good if you could actually target hostiles…

[dusk zodiac]

How long before they monetize the Battle Simulator too?

I give it a month

[dense bridge]

I cant speak for Char but my alliance tried to do one and we had texas class hostiles of 50 mil power, Romulans of 30 mil and that was all I saw before they swarmed us and lagged us out. That was in the first wave of the higher systems. Supposed to be level 38 hostiles

[bitter snow]

I'd he interested to know how the level ranges work out, what ops were the players taking part vs the target levels?

That sort of thing in other games I've seen instances take the highest level player, or the average level, as the guide point before

[dull pagoda]

Why is everything “more than we anticipated”? After years of failed rollouts you should anticipate more

[cobalt dew]

Scopely can you shut down this whole wave event ? its completely broken... started one.. hit 2 hostiles with 2 ships and they were stuck in battle for over a minute... meanwhile 45 hostiles smashed into the thing in the middle while my other 4 buddies were all stuck int he same situation

Complete and utter garbage at this point...

[paper venture]

@pseudo rune waves is also broke ships would not attack hostiles.

[wet dew]

stuck with mission’s hostile

[paper venture]

Is play testing not a thing anymore?

[shrewd haven]

@pseudo rune triedthe first mission killed the pirate but the kill isnt registering. Cant go any furthure and my battle log shows the kill

[nocturne cave]

its sourced in a different manner. so prob not

[smoky mortar]

Not since the industry suckered the players to do it for them.

[lapis harbor]

What’s with this dam lag

[paper venture]

I can’t even attack the first time.

[oak matrix]

eco said they did their test before launching..but I think it's a fail but still pushed it anyway else why every arc launch its always chaos

[median veldt]

Yeah...I can't attack anything in wave defense

[atomic seal]

Not worth paying a single cent more on this game

[median veldt]

Well, the best part is I tried to open a ticket (which they close) after they send a generic list of unrelated issues.

[nocturne cave]

@pseudo rune any update if well be able to finish this bp event for the waves or not ? :p

[paper venture]

@pseudo rune any word going to come from you guys on broke missions and waves? Some of us spent resources.

[gritty mirage]

They admitted to some of the content-providers that’s it’s the wave defense screwing things up.. I guess that goes too testing it properly…

[last obsidian]

I’m having this same issue.🤬

[rare rune]

Does the lag fix correct the difficulty of the wave defense?

[last obsidian]

@pseudo rune any word on when the missions being stuck will be fixed?

[feral tartan]

+1

[noble frigate]

Mine shows dead but "Ship in battle" so I can't attack again and no credit. And when I try to log a bug it closes the conversation and would let me submit it

[weary gull]

Does anyone know how I can buy time travel in game?

[viral coral]

Same and been like it for hours now

[pastel belfry]

Where's the bloody locate button? 😡

[chrome gorge]

It's fixed......really. still stuck on missions due to dead hostile and no progression

[dusky dome]

Its still broken nothing works sektor 31 mission is stuck and wave event doesent work

[dusky dome]

Have same problem

[dusk zodiac]

Now the lag is "fixed" maybe fix the ridiculous difficulty of Wave Defence?

[dusky dome]

Lag is still there cant send ships to armadas home ect, repair and so on

[rapid mulch]

Yeah, the speed at which they move is nuts even with 10 ships it's practically impossible to stop them all

[dusk zodiac]

Even more than the speed, the power of enemies is ludicrous

[smoky mortar]

Yeah it's doing that to me on the "They have adapted mission" to get the Talios, so it's not just a new mission problem.

[boreal merlin]

there's no locate button because it's one of 20 systems down there. Look north of the TC area. You should see it

[cobalt dew]

How come no announcmenet on the waves being royally borked ?

[fluid tapir]

Classified mission is broken! Another event messed up.

[smoky mortar]

@pseudo rune @devout cairn @sinful sage Be advised that the mission problem isn't just new missions.

[river obsidian]

where is the information on wave defense... how does one actually start one?

[final nexus]

No clue can’t stay in game

[latent sonnet]

What conditions must be met for a ship to appear in the event store? Let's take the USS Newton as an example. Is OPS 44 and enough reputation enough for me to buy it via Away Team, do I need enough reputation to buy it via faction store or do I even need ops 46 for it?

[final nexus]

Need reputation to see it in faction store and there are missions that have bps too.

Good luck

Need to build the building in station to start waves. The new on left side

[bronze jasper]

Where do the waves occur or is that down right now?

[final nexus]

No clue I can’t play kicked off when I try anything

[dusk zodiac]

The wave mode is broken at the minute. The lag is sticking people in combat with hostiles, and the power of the hostiles is ridiculous

[slim jungle]

yeah im gunna go ahead and say that the waves shouldve opened up to people at level 40 not 30 cuz as a 30 i cant do anything

[dusk zodiac]

They just need to make the hostiles less brokenly overpowered

level 28 and 5m+ power? it's a joke

[dusty sable]

@pseudo rune wow. i've gone from having the directives to do a wave (and not using them), to not having the directives anymore, to not being able to do them because i'm not L40 even though my event says i need to do one in the tango system

aaaaaand now i can again. lol. this is hilarious

[smoky osprey]

is there a 30 ops wave defence zone?

[slow light]

@pseudo rune I’m level 35 claimed all gifts, completed mission. But faction store won’t load the 31 tab and blocks me from accessing faction store. And also can’t access new areas

[pale kestrel]

it requires a credit card for leveling up lol

[smoky osprey]

ah well, dont need those buds anyways

[sage hollow]

what crews are you guys using or recommend for a level 32 doing wave defense

[smoky osprey]

actually lvl 32 just died (me), killed one probe with my vidar

[grim cargo]

are these 2 separate battle passes, with the left one not having started / in game yet?

[cunning radish]

yeah

theres a wave one

and a normal bp one

[fierce beacon]

Even without the lag, Wave Defense sucks. First wave is 30/32s. First kill is a lvl 30 Survey Combatant. Power: 303. Next (attempted) kill (same wave) was a lvl 32 Borg Assailant. Power: 82,048,994. Seriously? 82 million. Level 32. Stupid.

[silent torrent]

Ok why would dossier 2 damage control be an ops 40 mission but require me at part 5 to survive a level 50 wave

[smoky mortar]

The battlepass IS started. It's now under the Event Tab. Notice the Battlepass Tab has changed to Season.

[dusty sable]

completely absurd.

[wintry drum]

Any word on if there 2 BP thing is permanent or not? Can't seem to get an answer

[dusty sable]

depends on how much revenue it brings dopely

[tidal storm]

5 years playing teaches me a 38red should be easy in wave defence ..silly me..my first and last defend.. quite ridiculous Scopely ..goodbye

[grim cargo]

this is horrible and they shouldn't do it gets out wallet absolutely horrible

[indigo furnace]

yeah pretty much the worst event ever

couldnt even attack so laggy, couldnt select hostiles that converged in the center, if the lowest wave defense is ops lvl 30 to start how do they take on 6 mil rom battleships in wave 1?

[tidal storm]

Clearly a well thought out new function (not)

[lean ridge]

This how scopely say : merry Christmas, pay us please for the gift

[main spindle]

Why would you hit that with a Talios those are meant to be hit by the voyager

[ashen wharf]

MAn this update sucks !

"spends $800 the second it comes out" - some stfc addict

[main spindle]

I find this update to be a major disappointment for scopely

[ashen wharf]

they dont care

people are buying stuff

lol

[main spindle]

Well i haven't bought anything yet haven't even got my premium battle pass yet

[twin bear]

@pseudo rune Seriously?!? Game crashing after every 2-3 hostiles hit. HOW HAVE YOU PEOPLE NOT FIXED THIS YET?!? Really beyond a joke now…..it’s been a problem for months…. Utterly ridiculous. Instead of bringing out more BS content, maybe spend some time stabilising the game jeeeez 🤬

[jolly sun]

I found it’s the notifications from sms rewards and mission, lag you out .. clear those first and it’s fine

Well usual STFC fine 😅🖖🏻

[main spindle]

Personally this new content sucks

[brazen moth]

on apple product?

[main spindle]

The mini game is a joke

[twin bear]

Yeah

[little flint]

Wave Defense is interesting when you have a solid team.

1. The leader needs the ability to kick or select who they want in. To many randos joining.
2. Need a separate wave defense chat.
3. All players should need to kill some hostiles to get points. Too many going afk letting you do the work for them.

[brazen moth]

thats the biggest issue. android and pc dont seem to have this issue as much

especially older apple products

[lunar relic]

The mini game looks like some of their ads. So now ppl can’t say the game doesn’t match the ads

[twin bear]

I’m on an iPad 9 and iPhone 13 Pro Max both were fine until a few months ago. It’s beyond a joke

[cunning radish]

i have an iphone 13 pro max and the game runs fine

or at least the same as it always has

[proud wing]

I have an ipad air, games been fine all year

[cunning radish]

which is to say about 95% ok

and 5% meh

🤣

[brazen moth]

the game on iOS has always sucked and just getting worse and worse and has to do more with iOS than scopely

[proud wing]

Well, aside from server related shared issues

[lost abyss]

lol, no

[proud wing]

Must be your iOS, the special anti-Scopely release

[weak axle]

how do you get the three stars in the battle simulator

[cunning radish]

i dont even kjnow how to play it

i just clicked the ship and pressed the button at the bottom

...ok cool scopely 🤣

[woeful jetty]

Wave defence….worst addition to the game ever…fact

[cunning radish]

that's an opinion actually

Better luck next time!

[marble kayak]

Tap to start the targeting and tap to fire when the spinning arrows are aligned with the green parts of the circle

[ashen wharf]

you dont know how apps work i guess

[main spindle]

@pseudo rune why was syndicate xp removed from the paid path of the arc battle pass. It needs to be there I'm not spending extra money on the other battle passes just for the syndicate xp it shouldn't have been removed from the paid arc battle pass and moved to a total new stupid battle pass

[viral coral]

5 hours and running …..still no fix

Great launch day yet again ….not

@pseudo rune any update to above 👆

[verbal valley]

Scopely: You HAVE FIXED NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. You only broke more stuff.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[paper venture]

I thought I read ops 30 can take part in waves but see no system that low that I can start?

[stable crow]

you join a couple of 40+ players doing a lvl40 defence.

[real cargo]

you guys also get the same after completing the missions?
ops39

[paper venture]

found a lower one

[desert mirage]

how do you see who has joined and decide whether or not to do that particular one?

and once you join are you locked in?

[dreamy patio]

you don't

[desert mirage]

bad design.... 😦

ultimately, you need to know who joined, and what ships they are bringing in order to be effective 😦

Gotta round out the crewing / ships so you can take down the different types of ships presented 😦

[feral barn]

It's almost like scopley dosnt understand they pushed peeps to group in alliances to trust and work with, and now you want me to work with My enemy at war, uncivil alliances on a team event, are you really that unaware of the game enviorment you created?

[cobalt grove]

wave 9 from the low level waves...

[paper venture]

So if you die at wave one but your team wins the wave, do you get credit?

[vale mango]

yes

issue is Scopely only wants whales doing the wave defense, but will randomly throw ECS Fortunates in the waves so that there is something for everyone. wave defense seemed like a cool idea, its just another bad joke on us

[dusk zodiac]

So are they going to acknowledge and fix this horrendously imbalanced mode?

[ashen wharf]

keep buying packs like the mules you are!

[dusk zodiac]

Why they decided to get rid of scaling level requirements that everything else has I don't know

[feral barn]

Revduece mentioned on his stream this new mode had been Q,A.'d.. don't believe it........

[umbral olive]

This here is the problem. Everyone likes to complain and sit on their high horse, but then they all go out and buy more garbage that scoely dumps....every fracking time

[dusk zodiac]

QA'd by imbeciles using 1 trillion power dev ships maybe

Only explanation for how they'd greenlight this

[umbral olive]

@loud solar has hard shilled for the last two arcs now. He has lost the trust of many people.

[dusty sable]

some qa teams where i work are functionally re ... well they're not good at their job. just because you say it's QA'd doesnt mean much of anything

[ashen wharf]

im fine nothing really bothers me anymore since i dont support the game its just funny at this point

[dusty sable]

he also takes to twitter to call out a saints WR breaking down game film like he knows what he's talking about and then get absolutely dragged by those who do

[umbral olive]

lolol

[loud solar]

👀

Fun Rev fact:

Trained as a NFL Scout, have had my scouting reports used by 2 NFL teams. Still talk with one. Horrible pay in that field, FYI

[unkempt linden]

This wave thing is a turd covered in burnt hair covered in cat poo in the middle of a sewer

[opal mantle]

Are Nemeses and The Captains Table in NG in holodeck part of this arc?

[pastel mango]

Yeah, it's like Scopely looked at what we hated about Formation Armadas and decided to triple down on those aspects.

[dusty sable]

calling out olave for bad character is one thing (ahem ... arrested) ... but understanding that his qb is absolute cheeks should get him a pass.

[loud solar]

Bad play should never get a pass 🙂 Especially for a talented player

[unkempt linden]

@pastel mango they went like all in...college fund...mortgage a kidney on this travesty

[ashen wharf]

yes

[umbral olive]

Love how Rev took the time to address the football issue in the STFC discord.....

[dusty sable]

still think it's as much on carr as it is on anyone else

[dusty sable]

can never resist a good trollin'

[loud solar]

I mean you can call me a shill if you want, doesn't bother. I've turned down their paid offers to make content

[ashen wharf]

tbf football bets are more exciting

[loud solar]

Pete Carmichael and Dennis Allen deserve far more blame than a mid-tier QB

[dusty sable]

fair

to be honest, the quality of NFL games is on par with the quality of stfc/dopely code deploys ... and equally as motivated by money over quality

[loud solar]

Hey if you want low quality and low pay go watch women's soccer

or play a mobile game with ads

lol

[lost abyss]

Look at Goff and Detroit, no one, and I mean NO ONE expected him to start having the stats he has with them. He was meant to be a consolation prize and mentor while they drafted their next QB

[dusty sable]

i'll take women's soccer over the nfl at this point.

[loud solar]

Power of a good offensive coordinator

Just like how Bobby Slowik (OC for HOU) has CJ Stroud off to a strong start

[umbral olive]

You say that as if scopely is putting out good product for the money we spend

[dusty sable]

see ... i pay no money. so i dont get to complain.

i can, however, mock them vigorously

[unkempt linden]

@loud solar This event is so bad Sloan is in the transfer portal

[dusty sable]

incompetence has no financial lower limits

[loud solar]

And your rebuttal implies everyone is enraged. People are upset about stability/communications. But most people enjoyed last months calendar + content. I've seen more positive about waves (now that people can do them) than I have most recent features.

But the core issues remain:

Game is unstable, old bugs exist, etc. But we all know those things will never a priority until they're a priority to the spenders. As long as they keep dropping fat stacks, the game goes on!

People: can't 100% complete a new gamemode the day its out

[dire quartz]

At least those games work and don't break with every update

[cunning radish]

so go play them

[dusk zodiac]

This game mode is a steaming pile of garbage

[dire quartz]

Let me pull up some .IO game some dude built in his basement game real quick

[unkempt linden]

@dusk zodiac that's an insult to steaming garbage

[dusk zodiac]

Making it playable at Ops 30 but making the lowest enemies have 5mil+ power? Are Scopely devs sat hitting the crack pipe all day????

[loud solar]

aye,that you can.

[dusty sable]

survivor.io is habit-forming

[umbral olive]

What are you talking about?! Quite literally people are complaining about yet another grind with the idiotic Cube mechanic, and a soon to be abandoned game feature with the waves. How long before these become a thing of the past, and we don't see them in events after about three arcs?

[buoyant wadi]

Stuck in battle isn’t good in these wave defenses when it counts 99% on speed scopely

[loud solar]

I can only go by my community and feedback I get. The survey ileft up for 48 hours had 1,500 people do it. Borg Cube got majority positive feedback.

Negative feedback is always the most vocal (just see this Discord)

[lost abyss]

Completed the lower tier one all ten rounds already. Just takes more than just the game to do it, need a discord voice chat set up so people can move and coordinate faster, and making sure randos don’t join in. That took more effort than anything, getting the 5 specific people into a system before trash spams in.

[dusty sable]

https://tenor.com/view/chefs-kiss-french-chef-perfect-dish-excellent-food-perfection-gif-20341505

the level of trolling in here in the last 5-7 minutes is

[loud solar]

love that gif

[unkempt linden]

Sloan just activated his insta kill thing in his head because of embarrassment for being included in this travesty of an event...

[lost abyss]

These wave events really need a separate chat instance in game at the very least. Like a whisper room per system.

[loud solar]

also need the ability to kick out these randoms that join... =/

[eternal cedar]

I gave up filling out feedback forms. Cant afford to buy every new ship scopely puts out so its kind of useless to me filling out a survey for something I cant use. Or is level locked above ascension like the Monaveen was

[lost abyss]

Just everyone leave and try a new system is the best alternative so far

[eternal cedar]

But you know. #positivefeeback

[buoyant wadi]

Kick inactive people that fall asleep at the helm

[dusk zodiac]

Guys! Guys! I found the leaked internal design document for Wave Defence!

It all makes sense now!

[lost abyss]

And not trying to bash people, but when folks are sending saladins and kumaris with warp crews, it isn’t going to help vs the waves any.

[cunning radish]

https://tenor.com/view/get-him-south-park-its-christmas-in-canada-s7e15-seize-him-gif-22110406

[loud solar]

LOL

[dusty sable]

so you're saying i should leave the realta at home?

[buoyant wadi]

Fast interceptors are definitely the ship for these

As long as they fix the stuck in battle

[loud solar]

yea, all suggestions pushed to the devs already

[dusk zodiac]

Intentionally make WD unplayable and mathematically impossible for everyone except the whales to encourage people to buy the Points pack

[loud solar]

i mean, there was a realta in the preview! Surely we should be using it!

[dusk zodiac]

Scumly classic

[unkempt linden]

We need the ability to kick this event...

[lost abyss]

The lag buildup after wave 4/5 is the worst thing. Can’t refresh the game to fix the stuttering movement. First try we lost on round 7 just because of the lag and performance drops.

[loud solar]

i made it to wave 4 x2 with random people from GC/my stream. finished the event. wasn't hard

[dusty sable]

lol. realta, kumari, and phindra. no kehras available?

and dont call me shirley

[unkempt linden]

I got to wave 7...with 4 59s and a 62...

[eternal cedar]

Wave 3 is currently the limit for server 100

[loud solar]

y'all haven't ascended yet, right? been meeting to follow up on that/101

talk to the overlords

[buoyant wadi]

Oh we’re using the wrong ships😂

[rare rune]

A group of mid 30s can’t get through one wave

[eternal cedar]

Ascending us would only benefit a dozen players

[loud solar]

looks like y'all have about 50 39s right now

[dusk zodiac]

By design, now buy the points pack cashcow

[rare rune]

Even with a couple of 39s in the group, we can get through 2 waves at best

[umbral olive]

how could something like this have been so overlooked by actual game developers? Like, how outsourced is the labor they are using now? I know the Saudis need to see profit, but this is getting ridiculous

[buoyant wadi]

I’ve been getting at least 3 as long as people that join do something other than nothing

[buoyant wadi]

Be careful, you’ll get banned for racism

[unkempt linden]

@umbral olive

[dusk zodiac]

There is NO war in Ba Sing Se

[cunning radish]

Weirdly enough, you can still see a wave system you joined and then exited

[umbral olive]

I'M INDIAN, I've dealt with outsourced Indian developers, and I know the Middle East LOVES outsourcing technical work to India (having lived there for many years), and I am telling you, this feels very much like outsourced work

[unkempt linden]

@umbral olive The devs new "interns"

[eternal cedar]

And about a 3rd of them have already quit the game due to the sheer number of bugs / extra grinds introduced in the last few updates.

[feral barn]

@loud solar I'd love to see test qa results based on the average players crew lvl, research lvl, unlocked crews. Unlocked ships. I bet they tested with max research trees, max ships, max crews.

[buoyant wadi]

I was banned for even using the word 😂

They’re very sensitive

Of course my name😂

[dusty sable]

i was direct recruited for a scopely dev position a few years ago.
unfortunately i'm not a game developer and have zero game development experience.

so i saw the writing on the wall as to where this ship was heading

https://tenor.com/view/titanic-breaks-sinking-ship-gif-15967933

[lost abyss]

The whole point is to frustrate people into buying section 31 rep packs to get the buffs

[buoyant wadi]

Probably would have worked out for you lol

[unkempt linden]

@pseudo rune right now...

[buoyant wadi]

More like 🍿

[feral barn]

I know... it's still frustrating and putting off, you will loose way more spenders than you gain this route.

[dusty sable]

i'm proud of this channel

[dusk zodiac]

And also to increase the chance completionists will buy any Points Pack they're selling by making it mathematically impossible to complete the BP due to the number of waves required vs the number of Ciphers available

[loud solar]

Same. I know they were WAY off with their internal math when it came to how strong carol freeman would be.

[unkempt linden]

I found the secret to defeating the waves....buying the crate of Latinum

[buoyant wadi]

I was going to spend another $20k but now it looks like I’ll be buying that used Porsche

[dusty sable]

from 0 to 💩 -posting in 5 minutes and we've kept up the momentum

[loud solar]

would you be mad if I told you it's not outsourced? or like, more upset? like its worse than yo ucould have ever imagined? lol

[dusty sable]

earlier there was a comparison between paying scopely and buying a car.

[loud solar]

nice 2002 911 Carrera?

lol

[native cave]

Any update on un attackable Yellow Hostiles from the Classified missions???

[abstract lintel]

is wave defense intendet to be a whale only thing? Or did they do Scopleymath again?

[jolly sun]

I’m watching whales die due to wrong crews and target identification .. I love waves

Also I’m first, till they buy more starts 🤣🥂

[unkempt linden]

Mbenga vel keenser seems to be the optimal wave defense crew

[buoyant wadi]

Might get a ban for that

Not advertising

[lost abyss]

It’s almost as if a competent group could go in and balance the officers and even ship effects (morale, burn, hull breach) to make it more competitive all around, like real MMOs do

[dusty sable]

"manager's special" is code for "we found a bag of heroin in the cushion and dont want to disclose it but have to move this thing FAST"

[unkempt linden]

@dusty sable I knew I recognized that car...😬

[dusty sable]

THAT'S where i left it

[unkempt linden]

@dusty sable this game ain't cheap...gotta hustle that Columbian bam bam..I needs an enterprise-E

[dusty sable]

you and me both

[lost abyss]

Also, think on this: when incursions runs again imagine the sheer griefing that can be done by joining, seeing other server peeps there, and choosing to go afk and/or send trash ships

[unkempt linden]

@lost abyss Incursions wave defense mega cube...

Next arc

[dusty sable]

i see no problem with that. that's the game imitating life. just how it's communicated and implemented needs to be less opaque and executed much better

like Q's trials dropping you into token space being "as designed" but because it was so new that wasnt revealed until a few days into the new arc

[languid flax]

Another battle pass and the game still doesn't work... Got to be kidding me

This going to be followed up with more content like the assaults or the Star base that doesn't actually do anything?

[signal trench]

🌊

[dusty sable]

yeah. the starbase really died on the vine, didnt it?

[languid flax]

Almost forgot what it was called 😂

[elfin jewel]

is it intentional the voyager is not in the event store?

[unkempt linden]

I sent my feesha and dvor to a wave defense..the leader seemed mad...I don't know why...

[cursive ledge]

When will the holodeck mission "the captains table" be available @desert laurel

[brave crescent]

Its a woman car ^^

[dusty sable]

because you didnt send a realta and phindra

[unkempt linden]

@dusty sable dang it...I knew it

[copper onyx]

sorry folks, they are smokescreening you... while you are all talking about ' the new thing... Wave Defence'... they have broken the one thing that is base to the game... killing a yellow Hostile to progress the game!

[paper venture]

Skills

[proud wing]

Its already available

[sly shuttle]

does exo work in wave def?

[copper onyx]

As in? the fact that I killed it, and its still sitting there with a ! and my ship which still survives, can't attack it? You miss your calling.. admittedly I'm not sure what that is... clown for not understanding, or idiot for not bothering...

[dusty sable]

maybe he was commenting sarcastically on the "Skills" of scopely

[copper onyx]

that's a long shot compared with the more obvious 'git gud' aspect of the reply.... but I'm sure you'll both do your own things regardless

[dusty sable]

https://tenor.com/view/hes-an-angry-elf-buddy-the-elf-will-ferrell-gif-10312365

[copper onyx]

given its a basic part of the game before anything else is added, it seems ridiculous that they both break it, and can't fix it ...

[clear socket]

Umkay..... these waves with special ships like actian hostiles, swarms and borg probes that are best killed with special ships..... yeah, that's complete BS for these wave defense things. Complete BS.

[true cypress]

So when people join the wave defense. And we can't kick them, and then they decide to not summon a second ship and also afk not hit anything, do they still get the rewards? Cause it's kinda messed up

[dusty sable]

currently yes

[true cypress]

Need a kick button. Or an invite only way to do it.

[slim seal]

needs to be a lower version of wave defense or the ships should start at 1-1.5mill then scale up in the waves, 5mill lvl 28 ships on first wave is BS

[buoyant wadi]

It’s for my lady

[dusty sable]

does your wife know?

[buoyant wadi]

Shhhh

[dusty sable]

oops

[buoyant wadi]

Devs… @pseudo rune it would be nice if there was a list of participants in these waves like an armada so alliances don’t yell at people for joining

[bronze sky]

havnt been able to open sec31 fac store

@pseudo rune

[bronze sky]

needed to update game on ios app store. nvm

[paper venture]

Slow your roll I was making fun of Scopley. I was making fun of their lack of skills, it’s called sarcasm.

[copper onyx]

your phrasing might need some work then... it came across as a 'git gud' type of reply. all good though. thanks for clearing it up 😉

[paper venture]

Yeah thought it would be obvious I meant Scoley, sorry about that.

[zinc dust]

@modest frost said Zoom view was important for Waves, but Ship type/kind is more important - kinda hard when everything is a Red triangle @pseudo rune

[paper venture]

Scopley takes updates that should be fun and makes them a nightmare.

[paper venture]

Actually working is important. The run I did you couldn’t even target the ship or got locked into combat for 30 seconds.

[zinc dust]

in my last wave 2 had restarts and 1 had one ship stuck in combat - was awesome. I could not see models [ even with zoom ]

[paper venture]

But yeah let’s says it because the player didn’t use zoom!

[thorny pawn]

is it safe to do the classified mission yet? didn't want to get stuck somewhere

[acoustic bear]

Ok so there are 2 simultaneous battle passes? Sheesh

[main spindle]

I will say the wave defenses is fun little strong but fun. The arc itself and the event store is disappointing and a 3rd battle pass really just y

[silver solstice]

3 if you count tc seasons

[main spindle]

Oh and the mini game thing makes no sense as to why it was added to the game

[ashen wharf]

its to try and get new people to think its worth their time

and probably make their ads not be false advertisement

[main spindle]

Then it should have been added to new servers instead of every server old servers don't need the dam mini game there's to much as is right now for people to complete stuff

[ornate geyser]

It’s a replacement for armadas, I imagine, for more mature servers where they’re just not that important anymore.

[silent torrent]

The waves are a pay to win for whales as they made the hostiles way too overpowered

[umbral olive]

lol a 5 day event for Harry Kim?

[willow glade]

Well it took him 7 years to make LT give him a break he’s a little slow 🤣

[ornate geyser]

Other people having issues with kill-Lithia step of the missions…? Not even able to target the hostile mission ship.

[umbral olive]

usually on day 1 of arc, I am flooded with alliance gifts, usually 35+ by the time I get off work. Happy to report that today, only 7 purchases have been made by my alliance....and 6 were by one person

[willow glade]

There is 1 person in my alliance who either buys 3 of every pack or every time he buys something we get triple rewards. I’m betting it’s the 2nd thing 🤣

[lavish copper]

scopely already announced they are 'aware' of it...and the programming monkeys are stuck with their fingers up their noses, don't ask where they stuck the bananas.

[thin pelican]

Oh yes. Lilith has been stuck “in battle” for about 10 hours now

[random knot]

Scopely asked how many people were affected by this issue in their announcements, and have proceeded to say absolutely nothing else about it for the past 8 hours and counting.

[night frigate]

Connection drop, crash, connection lost, crash, crash, crash. It's extremely hard to wave defend with this multi year old issue still hanging around

[ornate geyser]

Brilliant. Sigh…

[timid scarab]

Stop adding 💩 to the game, your driving away your customer base with your constant we need to justify our jobs nonsense.

Q trials went nowhere
Formation armadas went nowhere
Most new 💩goes nowhere, are you even making money at this point?

Dial it back and let us earn some of that stuff you dangled infront of us 2 year's ago

Or maybe I'm not spending enough 🤷🏼‍♂️

[ashen wharf]

they already got billions off obviously they just are seeing how long the 🧠 less will continue lol

[timid scarab]

@ashen wharf you and I together

[ashen wharf]

nah i havnt bought anything in 4 years lmao i just enjoy seeing you all get got every month

i just do dailies then log off and enjoy the discord show

🤣

[timid scarab]

@ashen wharf aye, I'm $120 in and I'll keep my money at this point.

Slot machines have better payout's on social security checks than this game does for digital boo boo imo

[pliant cliff]

not even gonna bother with this new wave stuff. Even when you try to coordinate with your own teammates, others jump in before your teammates can join ruining the whole thing. Also, these hostiles seem to take a lot longer to kill than regulars and there’s no way you can kill them fast enough with the numbers that are coming at you before they can reach the base.

[abstract gate]

Funny, years ago there was this online game called War Commander and the wave attack was exact same thing. Bunch of hostiles converge on your base you have to defend and of course every wave got harder and harder..very original thought there scopely

[fiery compass]

indeed, as opposed to every other video game which has no similarities with any other video game.
certainly never so much that there would be a genre named after one single game

[cursive ledge]

You are correct and what's funny is I saw it how before I asked and I clearly lost my memory. I'm a dunce sometimes.

[rustic rampart]

🌊 are a disappointment

[celest ermine]

Wave defense can be seen in many games

[ashen wharf]

yeah but in other games they make it functional lol

[lost abyss]

Right now no matter what people do by wave 8 or so targeting gets so bad you just start getting ships slipping through no matter how good your ships are as a group.

[ashen marsh]

Where can I find the nemesis mission

[amber cedar]

Holodeck

[cursive ledge]

There are so many games like that, what's your point?

[abstract gate]

unfortunately more and more are stopping. because the game requires too much time. It's a shame that you ruined the game.

[smoky mortar]

@pseudo rune Are they working on a fix for the missions that got stuck? My Talios mission got stuck on the very last battle and now I can't build my Talios after grinding for weeks to get my Vidar tiered.

[nova shadow]

Cross-posting: what tf, Scopely? You gave me an event that I normally would be able to complete, but I can’t access the web store for my mission keys. You’ve lost so many people today, and I guess you want to add more people to that list🤦‍♂️

[acoustic lantern]

Can any of the devs or mods explain this description? How can i team, if there is only a random join lobby available? how to know, which ship i shall use, when i dont know, who is joining and with which ships? with random lobby only, this mechanic is only new piece of puzzle to reduce players res via repair costs..

[dreamy patio]

Socializing in GC, or contact other alliances via pm to set one up.

[hard carbon]

How on Earth will a Group of Lvl. 30-39 Players be able to survive more then 2 Waves? What Players are needed to survive 10 Waves???

[wary belfry]

On the 40s? G5 ships, with speed crews. The 50s are nigh-impossible as they are currently. Need a way to toggle between Public and Private "lobbies" to have any real chance in those.
Kinda reminds me of MMORPG raids, tbh...

[hard carbon]

level 30-39 with G5 Ships? The Waves start at Players with Level 30...

If you just get to OPS 30 and enter a Wave... you are Insta-Dead

[wary belfry]

My point was it's not doable in its current state for anybody with less than g4 ships, and even that's pushing it in later waves.

[scarlet seal]

Wave defence is a joke, the lag makes it impossible to do and with ships getting stuck in battle all the time as well it needs to be looked into and sorted with a patch asap or there is no point to it as usual Sco failed to to the nessasary checks and testing @pseudo rune

the 50's as meant for the G6 ships

epic G5's will get to wave 5 maybe 6 but you need G6 to do the rest. so that is fine

get better payout completing wave 40's for now anyway

[past spruce]

Epic fail scopes. You made it too hard. Coordination with people that have real lives and it’s nearly impossible to cover all eventualities for all hostile types. This is the type of crap that makes people throw their hands in the air and say I can’t deal. I’m leaving

[proud wing]

High 50s and above

[bitter snow]

it's all aspirational targets, there's a reason there are spikes in the rewards per wave as you go upwards - they don't expect people to reliably complete them, just get to certain points most often.
Once the building creeps up and the damage boosts and favours kick in it'll probably be different, but for sure it's not really content for <40s currently

[dusk zodiac]

Make wave defence available for 30+ but make it genuinely impossible for <40s to actually make decent progress.
This makes it so that the majority of people between 30 and 40 Ops will probably run out of S31 Ciphers before they get enough BP progress to finish it.
This makes it more likely they'll buy a Points Pack to complete it.
Milking cashcows always has been and always will be the only thing Scopely care about.

[lilac gate]

https://tenor.com/view/robert-downey-jr-frustrated-rdj-gif-15041423

thats basically was it about wave defense

[feral tartan]

Any news about frozen missions? I not doing any until this fixed.

[bitter snow]

well, I made it through to the second wave on one of the lv50 systems, mostly by killing just enough of the easy fkr ships and letting everything else impact on the station 🤣 , the 8472s right off the bat were a shock though

And by easy, I mean, "only 50m power"

[shut moon]

On the first day!!!!!

Even with lagg game freeze and crashes!

[dreamy patio]

had it done in about 10 minutes, it's meant for new players, not much of a difficulty curve to it.

[sacred phoenix]

yeah, hopefully though we get more, feels like a waste to have something new like this and not build on it

could be others officers or so as well, I don't know

[hushed pelican]

Did $copely bother to play test Wave Defense? Obviously, load testing wasn’t done for this release. Just another useless grind.

[dreamy patio]

Yeah, seemed like a waste to code a new module that you can access on your starbase, and give it a field training, to end it right there.

Should've made it the Kobayashi Maru and just increase the difficulty and rewards each level endlessly

[sacred phoenix]

especially if that feature has literally nothing to do with the rest of the game 🙈, so not so great "field training"

[peak cradle]

Yeah but the amount of waves you can kill should not be determined with how much lag/errors/game crashes you suffer

[bitter snow]

oh god yes, keep having ships stuck in combat is annoying 😂

[shut moon]

Or lag freeze during so you can't even participate and everyone mad cause your there but your ships do nothing.

[exotic igloo]

https://tenor.com/view/loading-complete-error-404-sad-gif-12092536

[austere rover]

I don’t understand, not all of the game was created to pass thru the all levels of difficulty. If you can’t do it, left behind until you can.
In other hand, you can do a wave with other alliances and mayors players, don’t need to do only with your alliance mates. Join a wave with lvl 50+ to enjoy the moment. 😊

[heady mica]

What was they thinking?

[exotic igloo]

they were thinking?!?

[chilly holly]

They totally screwed this game up, can’t fight hostile, I still can’t get my faction store open to try to do the wave event that ends in 3 hours. I regret ever spending a damn dime on this game.

Every time they do an maintenance they f this game up, but this time it’s totally screwed up, scopely needs to realize the people they pay to do this maintenance crap don’t know what the f they’re doing

[void raft]

Can anyone let me know whether the Incursions Store has Titan BPs in it, please? I’m too low on ops to see them if they’re actually available. Thanks!

do all types of wave defense hostiles do equal damage to the base or some are more dangerous than others?

[slate lotus]

All do equal damage from what I have seen.

[slender shuttle]

Also has anyone charted out how many of each are necessary to kill so ur node can survive each wave?(without fighting unnecessary battles and losing hull)

[void raft]

Great, I’ll hoard my loot then. Thanks for confirming this! 👍

[worthy plaza]

does tehe defense base regen?

[wet plover]

nope, good idea if it could self repair during waves like Hirogen Armadas the REDS didn't wipe it out during the wave, it should reset to full that would be interesting mechanic

[indigo heron]

anyone remember which event gave this avatar?

[modest iris]

Was it the battle sim field training?

[indigo heron]

nope. not in there

finished the simulator. only kirk shards were rewarded

[modest iris]

The rewards at the top

In field training

In the yellow box

@indigo heron

[indigo heron]

thanks

[dusk zodiac]

Don't worry, Scopely will find a way to paygate and monetize the Battle Simulator soon enough!

[celest relic]

I hate that that’s probably true

[tame shuttle]

not got 'Battle Simulator' yet

Scopley had my chat banned too 😠

[slender shuttle]

Someone have an explanation why there is an alliance leaderboard for a free to leech, er hum... I mean free to join game mechanic?

It's almost as if they're encouraging players to join wave defs with no intention/capability of contributing.

[serene helm]

I’m still trying to understand how they said ops30 on this feature

[wind fog]

I was about to say, I don’t recognize that avatar, must be new.

[dusk zodiac]

making this new mode Ops 30 is a sick joke

They only made it Ops 30 so that a lot more players would try it, be mathematically unable to complete the BP for it due to the insane difficulty, and be more likely to buy a points pack

Carrot and stick

[steady hedge]

It is mathematically possible as the ops 30 can get carried by higher level players. It is sad but an ops 30 can randomly join another WD and don't even have to work for the points.

[dusk zodiac]

Mathetmatically possible maybe, but probable? Not really. You're relying on luck and chance that you'll have a team strong enough to carry you each time, and if not you've spent 100 Ciphers for a single wave worth of BP points

Not to mention making the mode arguably less fun for those carrying

It's fundementally flawed

If the mode/system relies on 50% of players gambling Ciphers for the chance of any decent progress, and the other 50% doing disproportionate work to carry them through the insane difficulty then that's just bad game design

But IMO they intentionally made it frustrating and unfair so that completionists between 30 and mid-40s Ops will buy Points Packs

[modern estuary]

anyone else haviing issues with the battlesimulator stuck on lvl 1

[proven pendant]

Teammate said clear local/cache restart worked for her

Anyone know which mission unlocks the facade building damage buff for wave defense or how to unlock it?

[frozen abyss]

Why the heck is the calendar image so blurry?

[proper meteor]

So they can change it when it suits of course

[frozen abyss]

At least there's additional data on there that wasn't in the in-game calendar (treasury dates)

[modern estuary]

battle simulator what a load of garbage targeting does not work correctly

[stable crow]

for wave defences it might be best for players without G4 ships to team up with high level players, let the high level players sweep the generic hostiles with their G4+ ships while the lower levels mop up the actians, swarms, borg, and surveys.
if you keep it within the alliance it may also be worth it to bring a titan-A.

[frozen abyss]

It seems to work fine for me

[frozen abyss]

You need to line up the symbols in the circle

[ancient light]

I am not participating for this very reason, as I am not one to waste other players tokens and rss while only being able to kill one or two ships... However for those others that still want to participate, what are they supposed to do? They have no choice... Instead of condemning the lower players, condemn the $copley money machine as they promise players one thing and give them the complete opposite.

[modern estuary]

yeah its crap on pc version mouse response is too slow

[abstract gate]

My only complaint on the new event is the damned lag.

[ashen wharf]

they want the old folks wrists to break in waves

[ancient light]

Every thing they do is a money grab, if your not spending upwards of $2k a year, your not progressing. the occasional spender is worthless to them and they still have not figured out that preventing play without spending is only pushing people out. As the continual server mergers is proving.

[twin apex]

This wave attack is by far the worst idea scopley has ever come up with, it's disproportionately difficult to get past the 3rd wave even with 5 lvl46 players, the higher level players are on too late at night for most of us

[ashen wharf]

game will end up being 5 servers in the next 2 years lol

[coral niche]

It will get easier when you have the rep to buy the new favors.

So bring up rep as top priority

[ancient light]

And how do you get rep? are you willing to carry everyone under 45?

[grizzled mulch]

30 waves today?!

Ohhhh, wave hostiles. Whew

[coral niche]

Buy the double refine of these each day.

[ancient light]

how do you get credits? back to my previous question...

[light sonnet]

They need to fix the timers on these events and not have something countdown to zero and then reset for two more days! Both the alb and the slb did that for wave event

[coral niche]

Cant solve all the problems for you that Scopely caused. I am on a 5 year old server. So plenty of power around.

[cold horizon]

Yesterday the wave sms needed 500 points; is the 1500 now ‘as intended’? Seems a bit steep

Oh wait: hostiles, not waves 😬

[slender shuttle]

How does the person that wrote this still have a job?

[dusk zodiac]

Absolute trash event, no other way of putting it

Complete and utter dog water

[ancient light]

As am I, however you apparently have not been reading all the comments on the bigs are already tired of carrying others...

[coral niche]

Nope. Was just trying to help

[slender shuttle]

How can you not defeat hostiles successfully? Lmao. As many as targets as possible? 🤣 Im dying

[wheat nebula]

Probably on a newer server where most players are in the mid 30's and a 5mil ship is at least double their power

[slender shuttle]

This is gonna be the priority next patch, bet. Lol

[slender shuttle]

I am speaking of the error riddled text in event description lol

[wheat nebula]

Oh yeah that

[wheat nebula]

My server definitely is newer and struggling with the level 28 hostiles with the power of level 42ish hostiles in the 'wild'

[abstract gate]

Same, we're less than 6 months old and still capped at 39. Our strongest players are 35M strong and the strongest ships on the server are 12-13M strong.

[slender shuttle]

Apparently not even a high school diploma is necessary to work for scopely. Why would we expect logical decisions?

[wheat nebula]

It's probably just a lack of staffing

[ancient light]

Great idea $scopley - if you want to save some of the people who are jumping ship, offer to move them to a capped server... at least they would be able to compete with them in terms of pvp... Does not help for trash events such as this but at least its an option.

[slender shuttle]

I'm leaning towards lack of competency. Just my opinion.

[abstract gate]

They do have a lot of job openings in game design and production: https://www.scopely.com/en/careers?jobviteiframe=search%3Fc%3D%26l%3D%26q%3D

[slender shuttle]

Even a caveman can do it commercial instantly comes to mind lol.

[abstract gate]

Including several openings specifically for Monopoly GO! and WWE Champions, but none for Star Trek Fleet Command.

[slender shuttle]

If you can dodge a wrench you can work for scopely lol

[abstract gate]

Senior Game Designer: https://www.scopely.com/en/careers?jobviteiframe=job%2FoGPApfwe. "Extensive knowledge of the design process, including player engagement, combat structure, pacing, encounter difficulty tuning, testing, etc" (looks at recent update)

[slender shuttle]

Hmm grammar/syntax and punctuation is not mentioned. Curious.

[ancient light]

Hey for those looking for a job, its a great place to work... no knowledge required and you don't actually have to work. apparently you cant get fired lack of either.

[dull pagoda]

Defeat 30 waves of reds…

[slender shuttle]

They're probably so cheap they paid their 9 yr old nephew 5 bucks to write event descriptions to keep the board members' margaritas refilled down in the bahamas.

[quick spade]

@desert laurel can we get a better image? hard to read the event calender
#💫-event-information message

[slender shuttle]

Idk but it's a bit insulting to be expected to pay ludicrous amounts for miniscule returns while it's glaringly obvious how little of that money is actually invested in the game itself.

[native jolt]

30/30 Stars on Battle Simulator and all I got was this lousy Avatar and Frame. Jajaja

[lunar lagoon]

is there just the one holodeck mission from this arc? Getting rep is a joke for sec 31 so Wave's are just stupid without the favours well they are stupid hard anyway. Unless packs are bought ⛔

[dull pagoda]

“We couldn’t anticipate the lag on arc launch”

Next day: insane lag

[ancient light]

They have that macro'd for every thing they put out

[hallow ember]

Boy, I kind of hope that all the event currency points this month are not going to be some flavor of kill 5 more waves today. That's not exciting on any level.

Especially since these are focusted on Ops 40+ players.

[inland galleon]

Seriously, second day in and this wave thing is already old and boring.

[light sonnet]

They need to do comp chests for the stuff to start waves. Several times myself and alliance mates have game crash during wave and it’s over by the time we are able to log back in

[shrewd knot]

idk it's really more for 45+ and gives a feeling of defeat when you are just hoping to be carried by others. it was a good idea they defiantly scoply mathed on power.

[ancient light]

Ops 40 are not having a much better go of it then the 30's. I think its geared for 46 and up

[hallow ember]

Yeah, makes it even worse. "Here's our new event, but most of you are not high enough to play it so go spend money and get bigger"

And all our content this month is about that event, so hurry

[pale kestrel]

eventhen in the level 40 wave defense ssytems, the wave 8-10 npcs are super overpowered. talking 7 billion strength actians, 1 billion power borgs, level 50 raiders at 7billion

this throwing arbitrary numbers on npcs is kind of out of hand

i thinkthe ploy is to make expansion cubes seem not so bad with the introductionof wave defense whenit comes to coordinating

kind of like the forgotten starbase assaults

[ancient light]

lol where is the instant upgrade to Ops 50 with all research and applicable ships and docs pac for 1K... ill buy it...

[hallow ember]

Well, now I can't even target the hostiles in the event becuse the attack button is lagged out. Gets better and better

[pale kestrel]

bring back fun to the game and don't focus every arc on spenders to get the latest and not always so greatest officers, etc. just to make it through most of even the lowest level game mechanic....please scopely
