[inland hamlet]

But you wouldn't know you don't do pvp

[grizzled mulch]

Think he means yesterday’s

[rigid jolt]

I've got hundreds of dm saying miners don't count. Lol. You're breaking roe

[inland hamlet]

There was no raid slb or alb

[rigid jolt]

I'm not referring to events

[grizzled mulch]

“Raid” meant loosely? The SLB/ALB for kills?

[rigid jolt]

Goodnight

[inland hamlet]

Active miners don't score.
0 node or full miners do score

[rigid jolt]

Nope

[inland hamlet]

And if your miner is in that state you not eat thing it.
Do you not learn first time you mine, you get popup saying mining us dangerous

[rigid jolt]

O noders and full miners don't count

[bitter snow]

think he means the resources raided board?

[inland hamlet]

Or you mean the diplomacy event.
That's all ships, but you have server roe right and diplomacy between alliances?

[bitter snow]

only way to 'cheat' that is by catching a dev station with its pants around its ankles

[rigid jolt]

Divine is having trouble understanding me

[grizzled mulch]

Wow. People actually coordinate to top that? That is so… pathetic. 😄

[bitter snow]

tbf, you're flitting between current events and things which aren't even events...

[inland hamlet]

Resources raided leader board is influenced by incursions which is pvp that he doesn't do

[grizzled mulch]

99% of players could care less about that stat, lol

[lapis drift]

Miners count. I did this hitting token space.

[warped ginkgo]

You actually get 100x points for killing UPC miners in token space, go give it a try 👀

[bitter snow]

yep, opc materials and iso count

so, raw g3+

probably raw g2 actually

and also the + for a win

Seems to be a largely US-centric issue, ROE is being thrown out the windows 🤣

[grizzled mulch]

The war chest doesn’t really need too much strategy. It’ll be relatively easy to complete for any decent alliance over the course of a week.

[inland hamlet]

Opc miners. Yes pc miners nope

[grizzled mulch]

Not on our server 💪

[lapis drift]

Opc. I don’t hit upc miners

[inland hamlet]

Zab to be fair most server alliances down to 38th place finished war chest in 4hrs

[bitter snow]

no benefit hitting upc in token space... gotta come back with something 😄

[inland hamlet]

Only the less than 20 member alliances took longer

[bitter snow]

ours is still going 😂

But we have the opposite issue to 'lots of random pvp' as an alliance, we have purple marks against something silly like 14 of the top 20 alliances (we're #9)

[lapis drift]

We are an alliance of 7 rogues.

[inland hamlet]

Send everyone to a system with their realta get whales to police

[rigid jolt]

It would be nice to see who in your alliance contributed to opening the warchest

[inland hamlet]

So rogues so you don't follow roe and are kos with rest of server have fun

[rigid jolt]

We do. Lol. Thanks for the free stuff

[inland hamlet]

I did 12 kills for day 1 sms

[bitter snow]

Habitual Linecrosser on yt has ruined me though... I keep reading the Khitomer Accord event and thinking "Khitomer checklist" 😂

[rigid jolt]

Your confused again mate?

[bitter snow]

can't link here because it's sweary, but it is very funny

[rigid jolt]

Lol

[inland hamlet]

Mind you we are 90 person alliance

[rigid jolt]

Warchest...

[lapis drift]

Not the whole server. We have agreements with some alliances

[rigid jolt]

It's best you just kill everyone

😂

[inland hamlet]

No ops 53 was 12k top ms for sms at 1k per kill

[lapis drift]

Yeah, we let others do the mining for us 😂

[inland hamlet]

So why you not completed it yet or you restraining hitting everything that's very civilized rogue

[rigid jolt]

I'm blocking you. 🚫 😅 you make no sense.

[inland hamlet]

You missed day 1 sms?

[rigid jolt]

Ahh that's better. 💯 lol

Serenity

[inland hamlet]

Yep it's great isn't it noone for you to troll

[bitter snow]

Ah yes, the boss move "I'm blocking you" 😂

[rigid jolt]

Gnight everyone 👋🖖

[bitter snow]

I'm very tempted to try that 🤣

[inland hamlet]

Never worked out how to block people lol

No idea why he didn't understand was I talking gibberish or normal abbreviations

Iso event is quite easy... Not got Nx01 do other stuff

Why compete to get 11th when only 10 get paid

It's like n01. In raid leader board... What's the prize.... Nothing.... So why?

[bitter snow]

"There's a leaderboard?" - Me, most of the time

also, the chart for the war room.... 😐

it's... it's not good

But, apparently I'm back having fun in my own little world in the game again, in a reduced fashion 😂

[lapis drift]

DO IT. It’s fun 😂

[bitter snow]

but effort

[lapis star]

Has anyone check the premium recruit chests lately. The info box says you get five guaranteed shards. Then only getting two per chest. Have tried to file a ticket for two days and cannot get a response. Posted a video showing it all and they keep just saying I didn’t respond. Give me no time and close the conversation. Then I need to start the bot over again

[cunning radish]

Every time someone has raised that

It’s been shown that they got the shards

Sometimes it might not appear as though you do

But you do

[ancient light]

So just closing the guys ticket without responding or providing information showing receipt is ok then... No wonder our Customer service sucks now days... lets just give in to mediocracy and accept whatever because their ignorance of their jobs or laziness is more important then our assistance.

[bitter snow]

If the shards pulled are uncommon officers that you've maxed, you get the officer xp instead.
If you're watching the animation and you get two of the same UC officer, you don't see the conversion twice in the animation (but still get the xp)

It's guaranteed 5 pulls from the pool, not guaranteed shards of officers you don't have maxed yet.

[lapis star]

I understand that. But if you let it flow through it shows you that and it is only pulling two shards

Here is a video

At 16 seconds shows at the bottom 1st of two shards

Have done it multiple times and always two there.

[bitter snow]

yeah, it only shows one conversion

of any type apparently now

just got 10k officer xp and 75 TPs

which would be 1 rare and 4 UC officers

yours is 1 UC and 4 rares

[lapis star]

Thank you. Just did some more and makes sense

Still frustrating that the tribble bot basically gives me no way to file new ticket. It is like a closed loop that I can only report known issues.

[bitter snow]

it's one of the wonderful 'visual quirks/bugs' that isn't really documented anywhere unfortunately, but you are getting the 5 pulls... just... not showing them all

There should be a point that lets you break out with 'something else'

been a while since I used it last though

but it does also sometimes get stuck in a rut

[lapis star]

No there isn’t. Have tried like four times. Never given option And then it gets closed to start all over

[bitter snow]

you might need to try the email option #👽-how-to-contact-support next time its needed

[lapis star]

Ok. Ty

[forest kelp]

Can u make this event so you can't cheese it.. and make it so it doesn't punish diplomacy first alliances.. what a mess it is

People hitting level 15 alt accounts for days.. like.. ugh

[gritty mirage]

This is scopley’s way of allowing all the small penis envy players to get their true personality out in the game.. all for just $99.99…

[forest kelp]

Forcing good people to mark everyone hostile for the lol bloodbath is such a sad show

[ornate geyser]

Doesn’t bother me. They spent their time popping pixels, I spent my time hiking in the woods, hanging with friends, snuggling with my sweetie. They can have more pixels as their reward, lol, not feeling like I’ve missed out on anything at all.

[raw laurel]

It’s a leaderboard. Who cares?

[paper venture]

@cosmic steeple I am getting tired of being billion and billion ahead and getting passed in minutes on score board . Not winning is fine but can we get some damn balance. Why should I hang around if someone can just pay to win at the end of an event?

[ornate geyser]

This game is designed for not-balance. Always has been. It’s not going to change.

[paper venture]

The issue is when it feels pointless to try you got a problem. That when a game starts to die.

[scarlet cliff]

Do we know what will be the rewards for the rare ticket event if we do all 9 regular ones?
Seems like it would be good to know before deciding to commit.

[paper venture]

Nope we sure don’t.

[warped ginkgo]

They've been doing galactic recruit tokens last few times iirc

[static mica]

judging from the other reward reductions lately...some mats?

but you can always save the rare tickets for a future run if, when those events come around, you don't like the rewards

[scarlet cliff]

Good point!

Thanks all

[minor cave]

What is the rationale behind removing Ship and Officer XP from the Domination event?

[raw laurel]

Leaderboards are always pointless

[ripe jungle]

Arc events almost never score for those, it’s standard. Only the battlepass domination event does.

[paper venture]

Scopley is such a cheap bastard they removed the shards you get working towards the rare ticket. They already took them out of ticketed events.

[ornate geyser]

Gross.

[compact agate]

Yes, I can do all 9 events IF I know there are Chapel shards in the service commendation, but there was ZERO communication. quality

[cobalt dew]

scopes you cheap bums... why are there no officer shard sin the ticketed events ?

[steady hedge]

Slow day for f2p players right? Catch up on the grinds I guess.

[paper venture]

Scopley hates f2p, unless we are content for the whales.

[agile tapir]

I finished the apex exile event in first place again this week

[paper venture]

Love that skin

[zinc tundra]

Anyone else feeling like this arc has sent us into the mirror universe? I mean the arc is bad enough with all this PvP, but the toxicity coming from so many players is astronomical.

[keen mist]

The game is what it is, but some folks are letting me down a bit.

[serene helm]

Yeah the pvp will likely make some quit but the toxicity between players and alliances will have a large effect once event finished

[zinc tundra]

I think that is what bothers me the most. I have seen polite players turn into raging lunatics that just throw tantrums and name call.

[keen mist]

Haven't really been affected by the actual arc.

But I'm more of a do dailies/hang out sort now, you know, the type scopely really hates 😂

[wind fog]

No tiers in the ticketed meta event? $copely really thinks that is tolerable?

[keen mist]

More quality

[lilac pumice]

This open-ended PvP is freaking ridiculous! Many players can't complete their dailies because of mor powerful players campaign in systems, killing everything! So many players have threatened to leave the game, while others are putting up 7 day shields and waiting to see if it gets better in a week. Scopelys made some questionable decisions in the past, but together we've been able to work through them. But this!? Was the rate at which people are quitting the game not high enough? Because this is the BIGGEST mistake they've made. Way to kill the game; one last Arc to get the last few bucks they can squeeze out of the whales before the majority quit.

[velvet phoenix]

But but but they listing to feedback from players and shill cc
Wondering how then they can do every month a more worse content as month before
It's looking like now 95% of players are unhappy with their ideas
Great work dev team

[hazy delta]

So they can force you to burn speedups/lat which pushes more to spend $$$. Seeing how much $$$ can be pulled from this game is the only mandate from the new owners. That flipped the day it was sold. The game has entered the death spiral......

[ornate geyser]

Pixels are precious.

[lapis drift]

https://tenor.com/view/lord-of-the-rings-my-precious-scream-gif-17264451

[ornate geyser]

Come on. It’s always been that way. Nothing has really changed in the past 4-5 years.

[hazy delta]

It has gotten so much worse. The number of new primes in each arc alone is an indicator of the direction.

[lapis drift]

It’s getting worse

[ornate geyser]

Ok. So wind it down…find another game…I’m down to 15-30 minutes a day now. It’s easy to do.

[dull belfry]

great work on the ticketed events.

[zinc tundra]

I have played so many games before this, most couldn't hold my interest a month...where I have been doing STFC for 1.5 years. Hard to find a good replacement, but I am still trying

[lunar badge]

People are camping the event systems so it’s near impossible to get the arc events done. 8 days a month of unrestricted pvp? If this doesn’t change I’ll be done with this game

[trail igloo]

Weeeeeeee

[cobalt dew]

https://tenor.com/view/lego-movie-awsome-everything-is-awesome-gif-4158807

[grizzled mulch]

I know it’s wishful thinking, but has there been word on whether the ticket events were supposed to source officers?

[cobalt dew]

nothing thus far but another low blow as there was always some officer shard rewards in some part of those events...

[grizzled mulch]

Yeah. I bet they put them all behind the rare tickets :/

[naive meteor]

Don't do SoS

[zinc tundra]

My list of don't do is extremely long...to the point I am finding nothing. May have to go back to purely PC or PS to find something remotely interesting to me

[keen mist]

Starcraft

[naive meteor]

Okay 👍🏼🙂🖖

[ashen wharf]

to say this is addicting is funny its just click triangle hit thing

[zinc tundra]

But yes, I still do appreciate suggestions on what to try or stay away from

[zinc tundra]

I got addicted because I am a Trekkie at heart. I loved the missions and seeing recognizable content.

[ashen wharf]

if you were a trekkie at heart you would know majority of stuff in this arent following anything trek it just uses the ip

🤔

much better star trek games out there that follow lore

[zinc tundra]

When I started playing, many of those early missions I could tell the show and episode they were from. The higher I got, the farther it strayed from ST. It's been mainly people that kept me around. Unfortunately most are currently showing their mirror universe selves.

If you have suggestions for a better ST game I could play...I would gladly take suggestions. Will even accept pm.

[naive meteor]

It's very similar to this one...😮‍💨🤦🏼‍♂️
Welcome 👍🏼

[gritty mirage]

@pseudo rune @zealous patio @cosmic steeple since scopley screwed up the war chest does these mean their going to pause the crappy PvP events their created for next week?

[next star]

What happened to the battle pass, at ops 53 there is no more 5* rare mats.

[lapis harbor]

😝

Shouldn’t this be called the corn hole arc not the gorn arc?

You maybe leave the pvp vs pve decision up to the players?

[lapis drift]

Cause we are taking it in the brown penny? 😆

[lapis harbor]

$$$$$$$

[winged epoch]

Event is bugged for me. Where would be a better place to report it?

Nvm I found it lol

[ivory quail]

I wonder if the developers, in their infinite wisdom, realize - that by making this prolonged pvp event, feeding their whales, and screwing over their average and f2p players, they are in actuality, also making it more difficult to complete their Battlepasses. Now its nice to get hundreds from the people foolish enough to invest heavily in an ephemeral digital product that will vaporize as soon as the IP is lost.... but you're making it less likely the average player, willing to pay for the battlepass, will have to upgrade. You can get short term gains, sure, but the churn will get worse, new players will leave faster than you can replace, and the average, reliable income will be gone. Then you have short term feeders and a game full of whales feeding on themselves, how long till the poorest of the whales, start giving up too? relying on ego to boost your sales, sounds good on paper, and may work for a small majority of fools. But in the end... well, thats not my problem. 🙂

[static root]

Does anyone have the Demarcation Line event? I didn't finish it yesterday, due to PVP making it impossible. But I don't seem to have one today. And the event that needs you to do them to count for it is still there.

[static root]

Oh I see there's a break for a few days for some reason.

[flat hatch]

Why does it feel like every month Scopely sucks a little more joy out of this game. This month is the worst for casual players ever. Complete garbage

[ashen wharf]

People will still buy the battlepass but they will also be playing more trying to sneak into areas if event is requested. but to have to all that just to complete something they paid for is stupid. I have no sympathy tbh. game payers deserve to get robbed

battlepass systems have always been activity scams and addict focused, treasury is stupid why is there a valut in my base i cant open. its all just things rubes fall for

[ivory quail]

aye, its really short sighted, poor game design, but people keep paying. I get it. But its also why its not my problem. It's hard to fathom, what happens in a mobile game, when it truly dies, unless you've seen it first hand. Worse when it happens, and you realize the writing was on the wall for a while.

[ashen wharf]

falling for the CC’s past 4 years got majority of the players hooked on hope but its funny to me overall since i saw most of this coming years ago

sooner or later shielding will have a way to be broken its inevitable

thats what incursions showcased

like its so obvious with this new refit lol

[undone garnet]

I feel like with this pvp arc, they are drive off a bunch of the f2p population and force a bunch of server mergers. So they repurpose the hardware resources.

[lapis drift]

That is some straight bull 💩.

[ashen wharf]

like who asked to be able to see the timer on someones shield thats just invasive creepy stalker irl vibes lol

[acoustic bear]

It's so you can get a sandwich and stuff before you raid sumbudy!

[lapis drift]

No… the sandwich is for after if they do a good job..

[ashen wharf]

but paying $100 to stalk is pretty weird

[lapis drift]

It is.

[acoustic bear]

Lol yeah I wouldn't pay for that option.

Raid is boring as crud. Even knowing shield drop times I'd pull 20 or 30 times and then wander off to do something else.

They should add an auto button on the amalgam to make it go back and forth on its own lol

[lapis drift]

Yeah, I’ve fallen asleep raiding. Woke and continued where I left off 😅

[acoustic bear]

Or worse wake up being raided bye the guy you broke haha!

[compact agate]

I adore raiding. 🙂 Pirate cold - black heart.

[jolly sun]

Which of us has the refit can you guess ?

[mental arch]

Makes me think,.. silver blood refit when? 😂

[jolly sun]

There is a major draw back with its ability to scan shields timers, you can only do that via ship scan, can’t scan a base.. so don’t afk mine and it’s useless

[ashen wharf]

glad i dont get robbed into paying for skins 🤣

[river gazelle]

@pseudo rune hey dopley got one hell of a suggestion instead of making all these new arcs why dont you bring back some of the old arcs to help lower level players get caught up and actually have a chance to enjoy the game might have better play base and retention stop thinking ahead and take a step back to forage futher ahead in the long run some times you need to slow down to go faster

[autumn grail]

You're not a pirate. Pirates steal things with value.

[polar cove]

To the devs: I usually find the arcs just enough to kill free time I have. This pvp arc: Thank you. It's been so entertaining so far and it's kept me on my toes. Love it. Thanks! 😊

[deep hedge]

Hey folks, I make a modified event calendar each month for our server, some folks find it a bit easier to read/follow than others, please feel free to share with your respective alliances/discords

[keen ledge]

Thank you for sharing!

[hardy vector]

spend “rare xindi directives”?

[opal zephyr]

Anyone know where lost hostiles located? TYIA - thank you in advance

[quartz wren]

Delta Quadrant

[hardy vector]

Thalasian Cluster

*Thalassian

[opal zephyr]

I thought these systems are silent hostiles?

Are we supposed to use our voyager to summoning ability?

the lost hostiles are where the formation armada's reside in. Thalassian systems are silent hostiles.

[ripe jungle]

Correct lost are in delta quadrant/formada systems. You don’t have to summon anything, you just get bonus points if you use the voyager. Note that the voyager ability does not work on lost hostiles though, so you might be better off using a regular ship.

[hardy vector]

I apologize. I mis-read your post

[dreamy patio]

/not paying attention, blows up 130m voyager on 400-500m lost using speed crews

lol

[abstract gate]

I keep getting the "finished event" screen for the ticketed: separatists. Tried restarting the game and it doesn't help.
"WINNER... milestone reached... WINNER... milestone reached... WINNER..."

[fickle imp]

Does anyone have the shhet which shows what level formation armada drops which artifact?

[versed stirrup]

Do we know the officer shards on monday rare ticketed event?

[fathom jacinth]

https://tenor.com/view/charlie-day-gif-18564553

[vale rover]

100% increase in materials required for half an epic officer unlock in just 2 months? Is this a joke?

[mellow plank]

To complete the Cloak of War event, how many of the Service Commendation ticketed events do we need to complete? And how many M'Benga milestones do we need? 🤔

[covert onyx]

Good to see that there isn't a leader board event today that has player 10 lvls higher then myself. I expect one tomorrow just to spit people

Lame lvl bracket thank you scopely for nothing

[ashen wharf]

slbs trash, officer distribution to highest spenders only, and they want you to fight those who pay $500+ a week

[slate lotus]

They increased the amount of materials in a pack, standard scopely inflation. They do this all the time.

[vale rover]

but not by 100% in two months.

[mental arch]

Does not seem accurate. Here's an ops 45 pack

Heroic SMS is 8.92m

Seem to recall epics are NOT included in the scoring. But the SMS requirement is far closer to the pack contents if you do include epic. Either way, something is defintiely off / not "normal"

[slate lotus]

If it makes you feel better, mine is 19.74 million points.

[mental arch]

Would make me feel better if scopely stopped jumping around without rhyme or reason 😂

[ashen wharf]

i like it taking money from you all is fascinating

[grizzled mulch]

They’re slowly moving back to before Christmas. iirc, the Below Decks PvP officers were about these levels

[grizzled mulch]

Heroic is a half unlock, so if they value an epic unlock at $400 (which seems to be the case), you’d need two packs. 1 should get to the 3rd milestone

[mental arch]

Right, the chart I did there was for 2 packs. 7.1m scoring power vs the 8.92m required for sms 🙂

So SMS cost is incredibly inflated

[ornate geyser]

Nope. They’re screwing us.

Pray it does not get worse…

Personally I just ignore SLBs.

[vale rover]

Not sure if praying is successful...
But i am here to complain in the hope it does something 😉

[grizzled mulch]

Oh, gotcha. Yeah, we’re back to pre-Christmas costs

[acoustic bear]

Better chance with prayer@vale rover

[ripe jungle]

Epic materials do score, they’re just very hard to spend, as only ship upgrades after t9 use them.

[mental arch]

Last time I heard DJz talk about it, scopely stopped counting epic material towards the score cost in sms, because of exactly that (hard to spend)

[ripe jungle]

Ah I thought you were talking about the scoring itself, not how the milestones are set.

[mental arch]

Gotcha yeah, talking about the milestone setting 😄

[grizzled mulch]

I think he said they were testing that out, rather than making a long-term change

[indigo mantle]

Probably been said already but the Recruit M’Benga event isn’t scoring?!

[desert laurel]

My SLB is filled with people who've scored already. Only green+ quality mats will score.

[indigo mantle]

Yeah I know. Spent a ton of uncommon and nothing

[ornate geyser]

It takes two tons to even register

[proven pendant]

The material spend events is totally unacceptable.....I spent every last possible 3 and 4* mat I could green to purple and barely made tier 1 rewards

[cunning radish]

it aint called heroic for nothing

werent u happy about spending $3k for a legendary officer

so spend $500 for the epic

get going 😉

[ashen wharf]

if you not spending $5000 a week you arent a real trek fan

[cunning radish]

🤣

[ornate geyser]

The other arc I upgraded something like 15 buildings, jumped two Ops levels…and only cleared one milestone on the SMS. They’ve made it so ridiculous there’s no point in even trying.

[naive meteor]

They need to drastically change their thinking, into Player retention...

[lilac musk]

People keep saying this for years yet there hasn’t been a drop in the money scopely is getting to warrant it so… otherwise they would have changed course already

[jolly sun]

Why you all still here 😆

[shrewd knot]

Granted they are here and not in the game technically.

[glacial dawn]

Player bank account retention.

[naive meteor]

🤣🤣💳👍🏼

[serene helm]

Gotta be more people leaving than actually joining

[vale rover]

the screenshots are from the same ops level

[ornate geyser]

They have changed course these last few months…it clearly harder/more expensive to get all the goodies. Why the change…is open to speculation.

[frail anvil]

Last ditch attempt to squeeze more money before they shutter the game

[proven pendant]

No it literally has become an "auction" at this point.....who bids the most real cash

[heady mica]

You think game is shutting down? When? Server I am on is so dead.☠️

[ivory quail]

Lots will no longer buy the Battlepass Premium version, because even with it, there's not a guarantee of a full unlock of anything. The whales are embedded, but the average player has been taking a hike. The server merger after server merger combining all the whales, and miscreant players just has been creating a MORE toxic environment as the bigger whales have to harass the smaller whales that got smashed into the same cage. The merging notes always mention that the churn, the decrease in players is normal and planned, but that is a loss of reliable income, for the sake of quick cash grabs, and is unsustainable. The smaller whales they hope will spend more money, but also with the economies of the world the way they are, they can't rely on that. So now they have higher up whales, who have spent thousands upon thousands, to have ships that they can use to hunt miners, the miners of up and coming players who MAY consider buying the battlepass, or spending money on a game, IF they weren't constantly plagued and harassed. No one wants to give money to a game they think are going to die, or a game that gives them stress. The poor level of game design mixed with both the misguided idea that people like this type of content (add in the inability to keep the game working correctly - glitches and lag and a whole range of other technical fails), its not suprising those not already invested, would want to invest (and spend money) the game will have its churn go on, as always, but with a faster quit rate. Eventually the whales will have to eat each other, and then only the top spenders, will be around, lamenting their cc statements, with little to show for it.

[ornate geyser]

Mine is dead too. Half the time my big alliance can’t fill an armada.

[cobalt totem]

Folks have been saying this for well over four years 🤷‍♂️

[acoustic bear]

If not longer

[ivory quail]

The world has been changing lately, and not for the better, its been getting worse, with new games and a new backlash towards p2w and "live service games" in general. With inflation the spending has limits now days. As others have noted, as well Scopely has never been more out of touch with the community, added to that, there are much more choices in games. Mobile and PC wise, games like Genshin and Star Rail have been growing with communities that are having fun (even if waring between each other social media wise) - Blizzard with Diablo Imm. and The Warcraft mobile game, and other games have been giving players especially whales other things to spend money on, and its even fun over yonder. Scopely says that the churn is normal, but is it a sound practice? These days given the state of the world and games, I dont know if thats so good anymore, dont get me wrong they will have replacements and new blood entering, who will be bullied out at a certain level, but for a bit they'll play. That still leave the whales at the top, languishing overall, which will lead to boredom or having to each each other, and paying that much, they really dont pay for a challenge, just to hit down and get their dopamine hit, no krill, no feeders, what then? The state of the game, is probably worse than it was when said before, but even then this will be a slow painful (for them) decline, they'll have to continually brainstorm until they just give up or lose the IP. They need to keep the revs up, especially now since Paramount Global's future is in question, with their stock now "junk" and the prospect of Skydance buying them and then a long future with Tencent (if the deal goes through) - will Tencent, let them keep the IP, or will it pull it to self market and make its own money cash grab? If scopely cant keep up its revs. will their current owners want to keep giving more and more for the IP, when they've been quick to shudder, failed ventures in the past?

[cobalt totem]

TLDR ChatGPT

[ivory quail]

hmmmm? I dont see the connection... unless you're saying Im a bot? which... is kinda a big leap there bud.

[ornate geyser]

They’re asking for a short version. Preferably with paragraphs.

[ivory quail]

too much effort for me. Dont get the chatgtp thing, which is what confused me. But the TLDR - Gaming environment is different, and the economy sucks. Paramount is in the red, and the IP may be up when the Chinese own it, they may not renew the IP. Plus if they do, will the Saudi's want to keep paying more and more for the IP on a product that has decreased revenue, which it will lose over time.

[strange ice]

Here’s how to fix pvp events. Give a significant bonus for killing a more powerful ship. Take away the bonuses for marked alliances because people just game that but give like 20x points for any ship more powerful than the one you use. Can still be gamed, but mostly it will have people hitting in a range close to theirs.

[celest relic]

I say make it an sms. Slbs lead to gaming the system. If it’s got be an slb, limit one point per plauerID or something similar. Then you gotta hunt hard. No farming alts. We had an alliance with their own alliance of alts they just used over and over in territory

[lilac musk]

Wouldn’t really change much. Everyone already finished their SMS as quick as possible and those who were already ok with blowing up everything in sight continued to do so regardless of the SLB

Because you could just say “oh war chest”

[cobalt totem]

I think the most impactful change (that will never happen) would be to significantly decrease the value of hitting down in the event. Make that change and then run it for power destroyed (or trit spent on repair bills 😅) so it’s not so easy to cheese

[heady mica]

I sense they lost so many players recently from the PvP events due to whales 🐳 hitting down so much. My server is a 👻 town

[cobalt totem]

Just a joke bud, ChatGPT referring to style as well as incongruent length and form with prior discussion

[cobalt totem]

Probably many of those will be back - at least I hope so for your server (if they themselves are happy with it of course).

Events like this aren’t new (although this metric is), neither is people stepping back from the game. Predictions of pending doom have been part of this discord for 5 years and ultimately useless. Best we can do is reasonably share how events affect us, and offer a creative solution. Nobody at scopely is listening to the doomsayers, nor to folks they think their opinion speaks for the community (“god stop it everyone in the game hates incursions I want to pummel a shower curtain arghhh”)

[eternal cedar]

I need to log in and transfer admiral of the 3rd largest alliance on server 100. This last event killed the game for me. 7 day shield is almost up and I haven’t logged in. And I don’t miss it

[heady mica]

I don’t mind PvP at all but high 50s and 60s being able to hit (and they do, and grief attack) 40s and high 30s is ridiculous. Don’t you think? Camping the mission nodes and other griefing attacks to try and stop the lower levels from being able to complete some things (monaven, gorn, xindi for example)

[cobalt totem]

Oh for sure I agree it’s ridiculous. Hence my suggestion of penalising hitting down too much for events. Even though I doubt it’ll ever happen

[acoustic coral]

What ARE the Demarcation Line events? I dont see anything called that. It looks like I've finished some, but I havent seen that move in days and I have no idea what it is I'm supposed to be completing. Its just the general name for the whole arc? How do I know which ones count?

[bitter snow]

they've been appearing in an event folder called 'Demarcation Line'

think 2 is right so far

[acoustic coral]

thank you! I was afraid I was missing something.

[bitter snow]

think it's 2/arc week, and it stretches this month and next

[ancient light]

I have only played 2-3 hours in the past 3-4 days, so freeing... lol

[bitter snow]

I've played more in the last week than I did in the last month I think 🤣

[cunning radish]

I’ve played the same amoubt

Like 4-6 hours a day

😆

[serene helm]

I’ve played more than I’ve worked just don’t let my boss know

[proud wing]

I did weird stuff, namely doing the arc missions in my Amalgam, as it can cloak and didn’t score points if i got shot…

[twilit perch]

Well dang it, I've only one completed at 1000points and I do all events but clearly missed or if one was an slb did not place in it. I also cannot remember these at all - anyone remember them? and can post what they were, so I can trawl my memory to figure out which one I missed/failed in? Thanks in advance....

[bitter snow]

think it was the pair of either kill gorn, or loot gorn - can't remember which one

[scenic kernel]

kill

[twilit perch]

Stoopid folders - stoopid me - completely missed one of those....ho hum....

[scenic kernel]

plus those where annoying, with all the whales going around to kill you 😅

[sharp oasis]

Is trying to complete the recruit m'banga event. Free to play, Completely wiped out of latinum, Need twenty thousand points. Any thoughts question mark

[dreamy patio]

b um rush a bunch of probes for speed ups

[bitter snow]

yeah, talios systems drop a bunch.
Any lat refines you've skipped, forcing through some ATAs if you have speedups

check old ships in the yard that you don't want to upgrade but could...

[full jacinth]

Anybody knows whether the dailies will start at the same time as the other events EVER???

[rare verge]

Don’t be silly 🤣🤣🤣

[sharp oasis]

Anybody share the best locations for solo armadas?

[jolly sun]

I find in the systems with the solo armadas works best 🖖🏻

[sharp oasis]

Okay, Is but where are they? Obviously, it's easy to find armadas.But where are the designated solo armadas?

The icon for solo and group armadas is identical

[jolly sun]

Be easier to ask this on your server and have them link them no ?

[rigid meteor]

In the Rare Event ticket event, Cerritos Away Teams - SMS, its for Gas, If theres 5 star in the Ore and Crystal one, shouldnt there be 5* Gas in the Gas one?

[dreamy patio]

there is

[rigid meteor]

not in mine, this is the top reward for all 3

[fickle imp]

any news if we will have fleet commander event anytime soon

[dreamy patio]

Obsidian said there might be on in between arcs

[fickle imp]

ok will contiue to save

[umbral coral]

Hi, is this new event proven hypothesis slb a mistake? first place 10 shards? should be 100 ? or 120 for officer unlock i guess ? Thanx @sinful sage @livid jolt

[jolly sun]

What’s your ops 55+?

[frail anvil]

Ffs domination again!!

[jolly sun]

Spend ship XP

[rigid meteor]

51 but i still get 5* with everything else

[brittle oriole]

https://tenor.com/view/dr-evil-laugh-ausin-powers-dr-evil-laugh-evil-laugh-dr-evil-laugh-gif-gif-14184555681065265889

no

[jolly sun]

Same thing happened last month, lower G5 got G4 rewards

[ripe jungle]

It’s there for me at 52. Must be a bug.

[rigid meteor]

Ticket been sent anyway, if i get it i get it, if not im not going to cry, the 4* gas is still usefull enough at my ops

Though it could be because we get a chunk from the Doomsday event... (Scopely cant give us too much in one day!! 🤣 )

[umbral coral]

@muted stag @devout cairn any answer from devs?

[dreamy patio]

Tomorrow

[civic frigate]

yea my bad lol

[tacit tendon]

Lat reward points are borged again?

[velvet phoenix]

Who is going for the 10 shards? 😂

[upper atlas]

Definitely a slap in the face for armada spending slb rewards. With no sms!

[velvet phoenix]

Kirk's brother cost more than all kirk together for a shard
He probably 100$ per shard in scopley opinion
They out of touch with game reality more and more every day
Thanx Logan , best arc ever 🤣

[upper atlas]

Everyone should do one armada and tie so everyone gets the top reward 😅

[pale rain]

Doesn't work that way

Rng picks the winner in ties

[full notch]

💩

[sage mango]

last one to score.. sadly.. encourages last second snipes

[celest relic]

No, it’s rng. I’ve had a dozen tests and while I’d like to think my bad luck is due to a weighted spend algorithm, I have placed higher than spenders before. And the order of score no longer matters

[proud wing]

it often visually looks like the last to score while its running

[celest relic]

All I can go on is when I scored. And I’ve scored after people and placed lower than them. Edit: though if they changed it in the last month or two I could be wrong. I ain’t got recent data

[quasi token]

They forgot the sms for this Armada event? 10 shards for an SLB

[abstract gate]

For the last couple of days I've been "getting" the same milestone reward every 2 minutes, It's maddening.

[glacial dawn]

Have you tried to clear localization?

[woeful prairie]

"A Proven Hypothesis" - I have two issues with this event. First one being the number of places payed as well as the prizes. Your going to have me compete with 100 people to win what will probably be 4 or 5 shards. Second issues is the title, as in I believe it means that Scopleys proven hypothesis is that folks are going to dump directives on this event and spend money. Unfortunately I think both are going to end up being true here. I will not be participating in this at all, as the juice isn't worth the space it takes up in the event tab, let alone the squeeze, and the title is a not so subtle middle finger at us players.

[abstract gate]

tried, didn't work. And its the same on PC or Android

[molten pecan]

Has anyone heard if they had the supposed meeting over the weekend or was it just another smoke screen by Scopley? Because from what I can see nothing has been said or even mentioned to alleviate players worries about the direction this game is going.

[glacial dawn]

I see. I'd recommend contacting support. It might resolve on its own... eventually.

[balmy mantle]

Anyone else not get their M'Benga shards from the recent Recruit M'Benga - SLB?

[tiny sparrow]

When is the next syndicate advancement event?

[rain root]

10 whole shards for the slb huh...dang scopely you really shelling it out...careful now

[jolly sun]

I was annoyed, but with these daily sms paying out mats, I’ll let everyone else waste directives 😆

[rugged frost]

@velvet phoenix cousin..krks cousin

[grizzled mulch]

I’m betting on tm, since we have SyndXP in the BP today. 2nd Tuesday is also a pretty common date for it

[spice brook]

Had that happen to me once. It stopped when the event ended.

[abstract gate]

Well, the event has already ended but I still have the issue. Maybe until all ticketed events are over 🤷‍♂️

[spice brook]

It may have been when the event results disappeared. I don’t remember exactly.

[abstract gate]

Well, at least it'll be a 2 day event and not a 40 day one 😵

[spice brook]

I just know it eventually stopped.

[agile steeple]

@pseudo rune when you see them, can you bonk the person who formatted the event text? Event name and event objectives shouldn't be highlighted with the same color. Ty. Bonk them hard

[celest relic]

https://tenor.com/view/silly-cat-memes-meme-cute-cat-cute-gif-188300715157540170

[errant abyss]

you may be talking to whom formatted it. 😂

[tiny sparrow]

Ok thank you

[patent flume]

It's random to the point players guessing. Some say the last person to score wins the tie, whilst others say 1st person to score wins the tie.

Scopely have announced new leaderboards based on % and not rank 1,2,3 etc and if it is a tie you get the same rewards, we have yet to see these leaderboards.

Also if you become 2nd in a slb with the same score as rank 1 player in slb. If you contact CS they will give you the rank 1 rewards also

[ancient light]

That should be automatic, not a 3 week discussion with some CS guy who could care less...

[grizzled mulch]

For me, it was pretty quick. I sent the request along w/ SS and got a message 2 days later saying the rewards had been added.

[tepid sinew]

Long overdue

[pallid jungle]

So the War Room says it resets in 30 minutes but the official announcement said week 1 and 3. So which one is correct?

[dreamy patio]

next week

[thick dragon]

Forgot about the announcement that the timer was borked
#⭐-official-announcements message

[shrewd dirge]

@eco We had been getting a countdown fo4 days telling us Territory Season was stopping today at event reset, yet we still hold territory. Yet the game announcement says reset is April 23. What happened? Why was it not explained clearly?

[proud wing]

Season and ownership/reset aren’t linked directly.

[dreamy patio]

the countdown was for the season, not the actual territory itself

[pastel hatch]

Left No Choice event is crazy, you need to kill 45000 hostiles or 15000 swarm or 11250 hirogen or 9000 gorn, if you take 15 sec for each kill then ...

It would take 187.5 hrs, 62.5 hrs, 46.875 hrs or 37.5 hours respectively

Just having fun guys!

[hearty monolith]

Its an AMS, you dont do it alone. Your entire alliance kills count

Unless ofc ur a 1-man alliance 😂

[pastel hatch]

Granted it's an AMS and yes the numbers are valid for a 1-man alliance, lol, no sleeping for him.

[ornate geyser]

Mine is sitting at 00 seconds until reset.

[grizzled mulch]

The transponder SMS & two SLB’s are sooooo bad. Rewards are just laughable. Sam Kirk’s not even must-have.

[ashen wren]

Short Question, does anyone have an idea when the return of the mega cube is due again?

[clever wasp]

Megacube events are usually run when we have two weeks between arcs. However, it' doesn't happened at everytime.

[ashen wren]

Thanks

[paper venture]

Only 5 people have bothered to score in my group on the Armada one the rewards are so bad.

[cunning radish]

its free

if u dont want it, dont do it

simple

[keen ledge]

https://tenor.com/view/smhlaugh-tuesday-cat-kitty-attitude-gif-17930846

[grizzled mulch]

Actually, no, it’s not. Stuff spent now is stuff not spent on a future SLB. Folks going for this are making a mistake. Not competing in is the right move here. Of course, the better move is for Scopely to return to SLB rewards that are actually worthwhile. (EDIT: actually, the meta SLB suffers from not competing here, but SLB’s to win SLB’s is getting extra-sneaky)

[fathom galleon]

I won the Latinum mining SLB today, but I don't see the promised 100,000 points gained for it in Ad Astra Per Aspera or The Cloak of War.
Has anyone else not received points for achievements in those Arc SLBs?

[dreamy patio]

those only apply to arc events

the daily slbs and regular event slbs/albs don't count

[cunning radish]

Can I ask: you guys have a transponder SLB?

.>

[grizzled mulch]

SMS is all I see

[dreamy patio]

only an sms

[grizzled mulch]

And a bad one at that

[dreamy patio]

oh and the ams

[cunning radish]

Panda, what are you going on about a transponder SLB for then?

The sms is free shards for killing hostiles.

….?

[grizzled mulch]

I wasn’t

[cunning radish]

Ah apologies you said ‘and two slbs’

I mean yeah why would you ever go for a SLB you don’t want

But the sms is free and easy rewards regardless

[grizzled mulch]

Agreed. The problem is a relative one, though. We know what an SMS can be, and this ain’t that. This is a 4-day SMS that I can just about guarantee is being substituted for four 1-day SMS’s. So instead of getting mats + rss, or something else, we get 2.5 officer shards a day. The problem is what this has been used in place of. The SMS’s & SLB’s this month have been terrible. We’re losing out on a lot of rewards we would get in a normal arc

This is a pretty objective drop in rewards for effort. It’s not like this SMS is in addition to normal SMS’s. If it was, there’d be less to complain about. Instead, look at the total reward from SMS’s today: 1 pull of the new recruit chest and 2.5 Sam shards.

It’s even a drop compared to last week, iirc (EDIT: I’m betting this ends up being the lowest-payout arc in years, even factoring in Event Stores)

The SLB’s, of course, have been a trend for months. Lots of commentary on how Scopely has backed way off rewards for a lot of them

[cunning radish]

I believe DJ has shown that arc payouts have tended to go up over time actually

Even though it might not feel like it

But yeah the slbs can suck it

[dreamy patio]

Event store payouts haven't

[grizzled mulch]

Generally, yes, but he’s also shown the SLB’s have been going down lately. It’s been commented on multiple times (by him) in his stream.

But SLB’s are what they are. My bigger concern is the SMS’s, and those more for FTP than someone like me who spends a bit

[cunning radish]

Sadly

[grizzled mulch]

(Though, to be fair, I like to get decent rewards for not spending too 🤣)

[cunning radish]

Event stores have gotten demonstrably worse

Actuslly makes me mad

[ornate geyser]

His math on that is beyond goofy because it treats number of shards equally, when what matters is how many officers can actually get unlocked.

By “goofy” I mean “biased towards making Scopely look good”.

Which…fair enough…that’s literally his job.

[cunning radish]

I dont mean officers

I mean mats

Officers seems far worse

[exotic hemlock]

Surely they'd fix the bugs re:treasury.... A year and nothing

[celest relic]

https://tenor.com/view/mr-burns-door-simpsons-gif-10322371

[molten sigil]

Just had an alliance mate quit because he’s never been able to pull a treasury

[bold venture]

then hes doing something wrong. free treasury comes along about every 4 months i think it is. but you gotta play the game fairly fully. spending not required, just complete all standard f2p stuff and you get treasuries every few months.

[wanton robin]

There's a bug where people can't unlock it.. it went on for months but I didn't know it still wasn't fixed

[ashen wharf]

fairly fully is hilarious

just say play & complete every event/ every day for 4 straight months

🤣

[naive meteor]

You can get about 300 Rods from the 30 day chest so excluding the battlepass or extra event/ mini Arc
A treasury should be available every
" 11 " month or so..
If I remember correctly

[split lotus]

It's 360 so... Once a year if you only do the standard

[pale rain]

720 a month including flash pass

Then between arcs like this previous we got 720 alone there

[cunning radish]

you can get 980 every month

arc, in between arc, chests

thats pretty good

[jolly sun]

Well if you don’t participate, why should you get same rewards as those that do

[rocky wing]

Every 4 months... you're exactly 80 short to open lol

[frail anvil]

It’s so you get frustrated and buy an unlock

[molten elm]

@dreamy patio bringing it here to avoid slowdown mode. It’s tier 1 so nothing lower deck as only 1 slot

[bitter snow]

hugh below?

[molten elm]

Don’t have him yet mate

[nocturne cave]

getting hugh is most important

[bitter snow]

yeah, hammer those borg solos

Chakotay might work as an option, or throw titan buff on it to boost native crit chance...

you need the big numbers early on or the gorn do a real number on you

[placid void]

Has there been an announcement regarding the next territory season dates?

[dreamy patio]

23rd

[twin verge]

Ops 45. Gorn 40 to 43, how do I increase the loot? Only 20 per kill

[proud wing]

I get 100 off the 49s, they drop 50 base, so by using crew?

[twin verge]

How about a meta crew?

[dreamy patio]

ent e picard, ent e data, janeway

[proud wing]

Which is what i’m using. Probably could stick EMH below for a bit more, but cba

[dreamy patio]

can swap janeway out for 5 for a bit more loot if data is tiered high enough

and doc below deck, nurse chapel and hugh below deck

and paris

[proud wing]

takes notes

[twin verge]

I guess I'm running the meta... Thanks

[proud wing]

For me, E Picard, E Data, 5, with Paris, Hugh and Doc below, resulted in 11 kills, same as with previous crew, but 40% more loot, 140 per level 49 Gorn compared to 100 previously

But that’s on a T9 36m pt Valdore with Metreon Cascade

[dreamy patio]

i run e picard, e data, janeway, w/ doc, paris, hugh, chapel below deck.

hitting the 60s with my sanctus

get about 35 kills on one hull

about 450 per kill

accidentally swapped picard and janeway on that run

900 with picard

[tired quartz]

Oh joy another pvp purge for the day

[sly matrix]

What Planet are you on Scopely a BattlePass event PvP?

[balmy moss]

wow, open season pvp for the battle pass. simply wow. that's a statement.

[eternal cedar]

@cosmic steeple went on vacation and the rest of Scopely didnt listen to anything anyone said here

[gritty yoke]

they never do and never will

[drifting bridge]

Numpty IV

[sharp rock]

Love the PvP battlepass event, thank you Scopely!

[topaz swift]

I hear ya. That is a cheap move. Can’t kill Gorn. Then pvp or miss a milestone. That’s a cheap move shaftley! Peace out ☮️

[ornate geyser]

Just use your Realta…

[reef heart]

Today is not a PvP day, only 6 (or more) kills. If someone does not want to kill six warships then he can send a survey for each ship slot in auto-grind mode.

P.S.
A pvp event with PvE component is not a PvP event

[broken crescent]

and pvp event with a pve component when the pve component is not realistic (300 kills) is in fact a pvp event

[ornate geyser]

Use…your…Realta…

This is not a PvP event, lol.

[broken crescent]

again, done already. doesn't change the fact of what it is

[reef heart]

300 warship hostiles in auto-grind mode have only one problem: time. Send your surveys tonight in augment space.

[balmy moss]

Bp has never even touched on pvp before. That's the statement for those in the back.

[broken crescent]

no thanks, would rather have a friend kill my realta 6x. it isn't the difficulty that is the point. my point is that I don't really have any other options cause unlike every other time where the "target" has been out of my range, I wasn't given any other real option. Give me a different target woth 20 and pvp and everything else worth 1 and I wouldn't have said a word

[ornate geyser]

What statement does that make that a week of War Room every two weeks hasn’t already made…?

[balmy moss]

Because if a milestone is missed on the BP, the overflow can't be completed. And without that, one can't get the sealing rod to open the lockbox. And I don't know about you, but my lockbox is actually worth something this time, for perhaps the 1st time in months, if not years. So participate or pay is the takeaway.

[jolly sun]

Completing a Battlepass has always been about participating tho and Logan smartly made win or loose the same pts

[ornate geyser]

How is blowing up your Realta 6 times worse than repairing a real ship to grind out FKR or whatever? Today’s BP is as easy and fast and cheap as BP ever is.

[balmy moss]

That assumes you're on a server that cooperates instead of gleefully hunts.

[ivory quail]

Sociopathically hunts

[nocturne cave]

and yet ppl manage to kill 300 hostiles

[ornate geyser]

A server that “gleefully hunts” doesn’t need a BP event to wreak havoc. Even on my passive server, warships are fair game, always.

[autumn grail]

There is a difference between being fair game and having attacks made because of scopely inducing them. In the absence of these so called pvp events a lot of attacks simply wouldn't happen because they are pointless. Granted this bp simply means blowing up a low level ship on someone but the war room and other "pvp" events are essentially scopely paying people to attack other players. It is not pvp in any meaningful sense just players attacking players because they have to. If anyone should be upset it's the regular opc huntibg griefers who are probably finding far fewer and less juicy targets because they have way more competition and way fewer targets than they have under normal conditions but they probably haven't figured that out yet.

[keen lily]

That's it I am done with this game it's the PVP for the reasons. Can't work on my ships. All i can do is mining and that gets old fast. If I wanted to play pvp 24/7 I would go play Call Of Duty on a PS or XBox

[ornate geyser]

The event calls for 6 attacks. Total. And that scores equally for both participants, regardless of outcome.

If someone is gleefully rampaging, it’s not because of scoring for this event. War Room…absolutely, yes. But this event? Nah…

[autumn grail]

People will use it as an excuse who otherwise wouldn't engage in pvp. I have already had a ship on doing xp on auto blown up when a fortunate exploding on any ship would accomplish the same thing. A little pvp every now and then might induce some players to spend. Too much may induce rage quitting instead of rage spending. Regardless of how minor the bp event is it is still tone deaf and inducing players to annoy other players and that may not be as beneficial to scopely as they think it will.

[balmy moss]

That's not my point. It's my observation, that scopely is ramping up the pvp aspect by adding the element to bp. I personally have no problem finishing the BP. It's my opinion with 0 ties to scopely. There is no "defense " and continually offering one is a deflection and makes me wonder who are scopely on here.

[ornate geyser]

It doesn’t need an observation. It’s pretty obvious from the War Room that PvP is being ramped up (or at least they will try). We already know this.

[iron lynx]

I’ve had 6 guys I played with since the beginning lvl 46-53 quit in the last month definitely something is wrong

[naive meteor]

The game should have an extra event so some player's can catch up

[raw laurel]

Why? It’s not an impossible event

[blazing furnace]

Win or lose six pvp battles is like the easiest bp event

[raw laurel]

Even if you have to hit hostiles, it’s a point per, regardless of level. Do your Borg, Mantis, Voyager, dailies, then see what you have left to do. I never do dailies until reset, for efficiency.

[naive meteor]

I was unfortunately unable to do one battle pass on the last Arc and didn't get the Full rewards,

That's the reason I want an extra event
I was busy with RL

[opal zephyr]

Anyone tried kir'shara artifacts?

[digital reef]

Since they introduced the war room pvp event my server has become a ghost town…good move scope

[sacred pollen]

does nayone know the webcode?

[full egret]

for what?

[empty ridge]

do wish they'd give some wiggle room with the battle pass.. other games I've played generally require you to do roughly half of the events for full rewards

[desert laurel]

JGAL is this month's code for mbenga shards.

[tawdry bough]

I thought there is? You only need to finish all BP events if you want to complete the overflow event.

[empty ridge]

hence "full rewards", putting it in a different event list is nice psychologically I guess. but actually I can't think of another game that requires EVERY BP event completed for full rewards

[proud wing]

Because it’s a bonus reward.

[empty ridge]

I'd be fine calling it a bonus reward if it wasn't the only way in the game to obtain a particular item, broken desealing rods

[cunning radish]

It isn’t?

It’s in the 30 day chests.

[naive meteor]

It would be great if you could " Pay"
150 ish Latinum for the Points needed to complete the required battlepass...

[thin bloom]

This is like battle pass inception 😄 First battle pass required 100% event completion. People complained and an overflow was introduced that allowed you to miss some event milestones. Then people complained that there was no incentive to do the events when you had already completed the battle pass.
Overflow bonus rewards were introduced, and now people complain that the overflow requires 100% participation 😂
I mean, there's a whole lot that scopely gets wrong (or very little they get right), but this is kinda reaching imho.

[lucid narwhal]

Is the room event over? That was a one-time thing, wasn't it? Has there been any information about the problem? Perhaps compensation?

[dreamy patio]

Currently over. Not a one time thing, will be back next week. Nothing about the "problem" and there's not going to be any compensation.

[tawdry bough]

I don't play any other game, how? Don't have the time... 😅

The same crewing would apply though. You’ll need any officer that offers iso damage so some of the ent-e or janeway. Without those you’re going to struggle to hit them. ISO artifacts also help so if you can’t hit gorn then use the time to hit the formation armadas

[silent torrent]

I just used janeway torres ans the doctor on the bridge and it did nothing was killed and im using a 14 mil talios

[icy citrus]

try this crew

take the enterprise

[brittle mulch]

Works decently well on both a 12M ENT and a 12M D4 - you'll get between 3 and 5 L40 Gorns and 60 to 100 Loot (I am OPS41, this worked at OPS40 as well) @silent torrent

[shrewd knot]

This is fairly accurate. I do wish the daily points were standard. You still can miss one max points, but only a few days are low enough to do it. Just make everything the same points every day.

[manic shell]

That’s a good iso loot crew. For more iso damage but less loot switch Jane and pic over.

Interceptors like Jane doc edata

[cobalt totem]

How is that going to lead more iso damage?

[dreamy patio]

Janeway gives a little bit more survival, the iso damage is the same

Picard gives more loot

Only differences when swapping them

[cobalt totem]

Yeah exactly

[manic shell]

I should have been clearer. With Jane mitigation you will kill more hostiles. So more iso damage per run.

Better on iso damage events

If just for daily. Go loot

[glacial kernel]

Warp event not scoring properly

Only getting points from insta warp with disco

<@&509691205798592532>

[bitter snow]

the what event? 👀

[bitter snow]

where's that hiding? can't see it at the moment 😂

[dreamy patio]

under the arc bucket

[bitter snow]

oh

yikes, 39 day event 😐

[proud wing]

The borg warp is out? goes to check

[bitter snow]

huh, yep

it's £99... didn't see that coming

[dreamy patio]

seeing reports that the borg warp doesn't work on it

lol

Oooh it is and Tarkas spicy dahl, i mean isolytic thingie

That’s ok, don’t have it, just gonna…

[sacred yarrow]

Is there a syndicate event coming up

[ornate geyser]

Oh….it’s going to get a LOT worse than that…🤣

[covert onyx]

I know it gets worse just wondering why it's such 💩

[ruby parcel]

How are people getting these huge billions scores on the event "What Khitomer Accords - SLB"?

[fiery compass]

using their voyager or nx-01

[ruby parcel]

Voyager against which hostiles?

[fiery compass]

hirogen elites, as big as you can go

[ruby parcel]

Thanks buddy, appreciated

[ornate geyser]

It’s how they chose to design it. 🤷‍♂️

[iron lynx]

It’s the nxo1 with Leslie cheese crew and chapel below

[proud wing]

Does that score well too?

[light elm]

@pseudo rune Can anybody explain why summoning doesn’t count as an instant warp ability? If it specified “jump”, sure, but I see nothing in this event description that sounds like summoning should not score

[proud wing]

Warp suggests “going” rather than “dragging”, but yea, a tiny bit of clarity would be useful.

[light elm]

Space still gets folded… and it costs 3 times as much 😆

[waxen charm]

Does disco jumping count for it? 😮

[light elm]

Yes

[cunning radish]

Technically jump implies action - the ship jumps. Disco summon ‘pulls’ ships

https://tenor.com/view/something-like-that-ryanfluffbruce-something-like-this-such-a-thing-as-this-similar-as-this-gif-20539423

[light elm]

If it said jump that would be fine… it doesn’t say jump

[cunning radish]

Oh doesn’t it

Oh fair it says instant warp

Yeah

Shrug idk 😆

[leaden gale]

Couldn’t log in for 4 hours after update. Usual. Don’t see any damn improvement

[crimson sinew]

what about low levels (20-29) that don't have those ships? someone scores like 150 million in 15 minutes. and others don't even score 1 million in hours.

[fiery compass]

probably vi'dar or Franklin.

[ornate geyser]

That’s a sign from god to skip the event.

[crimson sinew]

doesnt really help me understand how they're scoring so high. i have both those ships and they dont score anything significant. and level 20's only have access to kehra and northstar.

[jolly sun]

Saladin at 28, will do way more damage

[crimson sinew]

even tho i replied to ships, i dont think im looking for ship answers, it's some sort of combination of ship and crew, but more importantly, the hostiles they're hitting. got no idea what hostiles they are hitting to rack up such huge numbers in little time.

maybe it's some sort of battleships in romulan space?

[jolly sun]

Be a combination of iso cascade officers or boosted Data E / Janeway

[crimson sinew]

boosted?

the players doing it wont give up how they are doing it, so it's obviously not common knowledge and only a few have figured it out.

[proud wing]

You need boosted damage and hostiles with a lot of hull that you can survive against

[jolly sun]

Pike, Moreau or Picard, Bev + Data E / Janeway.
Then yes more hull, bigger numbers .. hence this plus high Alpha hit with a Sally and your off at that level.

[fiery compass]

some people at 29 will have a max vi'dar and be hitting borg probes with millions of health in rapid sequence and high iso damage. even with a max saladin if you can farm Ty'Gokor without PMC (which I doubt) the hostiles there have at most a third of the health.

The premise of it is using a ship that has a giant damage bonus as its ability to hit high strength hostiles with a crew that's high on isolytic damage, and anyone not scoring around that level probably either isn't using an iso-heavy crew or isn't punching up high with a damage boosting ship.

[dreamy patio]

don't even need a max vidar to pull it off

[naive meteor]

Just a bottomless wallet, LoL 😂

[light elm]

Even the smaller borg probes have stats that will skew a damage SLB like this

[dreamy patio]

My brother's vidar is like tier 4, he did 1 hull on the 29s and was in 2nd place

[cunning radish]

https://tenor.com/view/aww-cute-gif-22121346

[dreamy patio]

Kind of amazed how many people near 30 that don't have a vidar yet

I'm in 2nd with 40t behind a guy with 200t, haha

[rocky quest]

Ok .. how can someone go up this many point in less than a minute? And before these screen shots, the roge person wasn't even in the top 20. I was looking

[desert laurel]

What is their level?

[minor idol]

Ummm…ok

[minor idol]

lol that wouldn’t matter anyway

[desert laurel]

Their level tells me the ships they can have.

There's also a big jump at ops 38 due to ds access.

[minor idol]

The rules for making points though is based on research

[desert laurel]

Why do you think research matters so much?

[minor idol]

Because it’s based on iso damage

And gorn, sorry

[desert laurel]

Research isn't an overwhelming source of iso damage. There are officers available that can greatly amplify ship damage, and ship damage varies quite a bit when you use a specialty ship vs their hostile target, eg. NX vs aquatics.

[void lagoon]

So your saying it goes by dmg? Then it would be iso officers hitting gorn, hirogen then eclipse in that order for hull health😅

[minor idol]

It will depend based on the spend, some from a base starting point

[void lagoon]

🤷‍♂️slb dont lie😉

[desert laurel]

Gorn have low hulls, a level 40 aquatic has 184b hull. There's nothing in the game that gets close to that.

[void lagoon]

Sure but am not in the 40+ slb yet😎

[desert laurel]

That's why asking the level of the player is so important. 😃

[minor idol]

That’s 300B points too 🤣

[rocky quest]

Level range for this event is 40 and 41 from what I can see. Looked at anyone in the top 20 and no one was over 41

[minor idol]

It’s bs at the end of the day.however I do like clicking 3 hostiles and watching them bug out

[desert laurel]

Level 40 is high enough for an NX. Do you have one? if not, you cannot compete at the top.

[rocky quest]

Just got to level 40 a week ago and do not have one no

[minor idol]

So who has the spot to win?

[desert laurel]

NX vs Aquatics, but not your leslie burn crew, the source of damage has to be mostly iso so aim lower in level and use an iso crew.

[languid kayak]

Lol, was hitting Actians with the Mantis with E Picard/Janeway/E Data and thought I was doing well at 850 B points and then all of a sudden in like one minute, guy jumps over me to 1.6 T points from out of no where. Looked 5 minutes later and they are at 2.5 Trillion. Don't have the NX-01, so I am going to bed, Lol. No point in even trying.

[crimson sinew]

yeah i should of been more specific, the player leading the bracket is only level 20, vidars, saladins, do not exist at that level. they have kehra and northstar as far as i know.

[ruby parcel]

But that is token space, people have 32 trillion points on my slb, I went in 6 times and only now up to 850 million so where are they getting all these tokens from?

[dreamy patio]

with a high enough warp favor, you can hit the higher systems and use leslie for some massive points

and with that, tokens stock up because you don't need to run as often

i'm sitting on 20 or so tokens at a time because I don't run it outside of events

sitting on about 500m aquatic tech

[ruby parcel]

I did 6 runs on lvl48s with nx-01 yesterday, got me 850million points with Leslie crew. Then within an hour someone was on 20 trillion points and this morning he is on 32 trillion. Something doesn't stack up here

[warped ginkgo]

It's only iso dmg, Leslie crew doesn't provide much of that. If they're hitting with full iso crew and are able to kill them they would be getting much more than your Leslie crew.

[dreamy patio]

kim and nurse chapel

leslie crew can pump out tirllions

if your favor is high enough and reach the higher systems

[ruby parcel]

I can reach lvl55 aquatics but only had 6 tokens so waiting for today's claim

I don't have nurse chapel so maybe that's why

[warped ginkgo]

What favor is this ? 👀

Like warp range favor?

[ruby parcel]

Leslie crew, big aquatics and nurse chapel maybe.

[ruby parcel]

There is an nx-01 warp range in Borg store

[ruby parcel]

Mine is nearly max'd (needs 1 more level to max)

[warped ginkgo]

Ah I see, i need to continue grinding rep so I can get to those

Do I have to be a certain rep with exborg to build the ship or just shipyard 40?

If one were to buy it I mean. Cause the f2p is rep locked 😦

[gray vigil]

I can't find an accurate event calendar for the month. Anyone know when the next (upgrade the NX-01) event is?

[dreamy patio]

If there is one, it won't be listed

[ruby parcel]

How does Kim help?

[dreamy patio]

morale to trigger iso artifact

[ruby parcel]

Ahhh, I don't have that artifact, what's it called again?

[ruby parcel]

Oh, yeh i do have that, I thought you meant forbidden tech

I'll get 2 more tokens later, will try Leslie crew with Kim below deck against 55's, see how that goes

My nx-01 is T4 lvl20 currently but only just, only has 1 upgrade on it since T4

[desert laurel]

The strategy you're trying to employ is exactly the one I said to not use. A Leslie burn strategy will kill the hostile, sure, but almost all of the damage is via burn and worth 0 in the SLB.

Even the 40s have 184b hhp, and if you managed enough iso damage bonus, you could capture half of that hull worth in pts, ie. 92b in one easy hostile.

[vernal summit]

Where be those gorn hunters.?

[dreamy patio]

They start in pentasto

[knotty niche]

Can someone tell us about incursions on the 26th? Is this a regular incursions or part of the War Room event?

[dreamy patio]

regular incursions, war room will tie into it

[naive meteor]

Warp "6" 🤣🤣

[dreamy patio]

400 warp range right there

[naive meteor]

That sounds like a pasta meal or a type of potato.. 🤣🤣

[dreamy patio]

500 with the next level

[wet agate]

I feel ya. I'm ops 23 and in the same bracket of up to ops 29. The shear difference in ships and warp range makes this event impossible for my level. I was rank 1 at a few Mil and then less than 2 mins #1 was at hundreds of Mil. I know officers make a big difference, but so does my inability to have artifacts and certain ships. They really should have bracketed this event differently for my level at least.

I know another F2P player my ops who has lvl'd very slowly. He has tons of officers unlock and even then, the next player to him is 14x his score.

[rigid meteor]

Scopely!!!! will you please expand the Cardassian higher level systems! Once again, pushing half a server into a single system makes players want to just ignore it!

[covert onyx]

Just ignore it scopley won't do much

[languid kayak]

I feel like I am missing something important... what is this "Leslie crew" mentioned above? Leslie and who else specifically.

[languid kayak]

Thank you! I currently to not have the NX-01, so anything I can do to maximize Xindi loot is helpful. Will try this on my Voyager out as far as I can go and see what happens.

[fiery compass]

this doesn't work without the nx-01.

[languid kayak]

Ah... that is tragic. 😂

[eternal cedar]

OH WTF SCOPELY. Server 100 against 96. 96 has already had second ascension and their top 20 players are all higher than our top.....

[forest plaza]

I could be blind, but is there no Incursion on Server 30 this month or are they rotating months?

[drowsy marsh]

<@&509690795536941056> We back at it again. 105 vs. 400.

Look, I'm not gonna complain about the pairing. Can you at least push them to release ascension on 400 so we can actually do something.

https://stfc.wtf/power?server=105

https://stfc.wtf/power?server=400

[ornate geyser]

How often do you survive the first round?

[crimson sinew]

there's supposedly a pvp element to this arc, yet the way they have the bracket, there's players outside the pvp target included. kinda poorly planned if you ask me.

[warped ginkgo]

They didn't want us to get the pocket watch HF 😟

[eternal cedar]

Right??

[warped ginkgo]

I'm expecting a bye week now, but we will see. Maybe they can move the servers around a lil

[languid gulch]

I thought it was a competition to see how many people they can make quit?

[proven flame]

@pseudo rune @cosmic steeple pairing 95 vs 89? a 60 locked server vs 70 unlocked server?

[molten sigil]

97 is facing the same thing

[proven flame]

welp, guess i'll just be shielding and not playing

[molten sigil]

They’ll probably just toss up a middle finger and release ascension this weekend for us or something similarly braindead

[proven flame]

ugh

we JUST got the 60 ascension like 2 months ago

if that

[languid gulch]

more like they'll do it AFTER the incursion, which is what they did to 100 when we had our first incursion.
Incursion first, then ascenion after...

[drowsy marsh]

How long after?

[languid gulch]

the following Friday after the incursion they gave 100 ascenion to 40's

[drowsy marsh]

They gave us our first incursion but we never got ascension the following friday

[opal mantle]

I’m sure this has been asked but how do you score in the Folding Space event?

[proven flame]

Space jumps, it says right in the event desc

[languid gulch]

ours was a double edge sworrd
Incursion, Ascenion then the relesae of NX01 all within 2 weeks span

A lot of people ascended to get the NX01 and were NOT ready and got hoosed in events because a lot events have brackets that start new at 40

[drowsy marsh]

Ooft.

[opal mantle]

Well what the f is a space jump? Don’t act like it’s common and I’m an idiot for asking

[drowsy marsh]

Discovery warp jump

Or Borg warp jump

[languid gulch]

Jumpi with the Discovery or the New Transwarp jump wiht the Borg Cube's Prime feature

[opal mantle]

There was that so hard?

[drowsy marsh]

For you, yes.

[languid gulch]

WARNING: it does NOT count summons with Discovery

[drowsy marsh]

[drowsy marsh]

Still messed up. I'd rather have ascension rn tbh

[proven flame]

2 ships have instant warp, Disco and now borg cube

[indigo heron]

#⭐-official-announcements message @zealous patio any update on incursion prep dates? and will it have an xslb as usual for spending mats in the middle of an arc?

[naive meteor]

Since when 😱😱

[wicked arrow]

Yesterday or the day before

[proven flame]

Tuesday they launched the borg instant warp

[naive meteor]

I'll have to look into it 🤔🖖🏼

[proven flame]

not much to look into, its $99

[naive meteor]

O'Suger 🤦🏼‍♂️

[proven flame]

also: weekend ticket events, we used to get 10 shards for an officer. now we get ticket pulls and i got 3 shards 🤡 💩

[naive meteor]

It's completely ridiculous

[ashen wharf]

gotta feed your urge to spend they are getting others so why not everyone

on another note its funny that pvp excited people complain about people complaining about pvp tiers but when a tier system was used the whales didnt want to fight other whales

[novel prism]

Hmmmm... wonder why that is..... lol

Could it be that whales don't like fair fights??? Say it isn't so!

[full egret]

https://tenor.com/view/say-it-aint-so-weezer-band-singing-gif-15577270

[jagged prism]

since when incursion event started to be called 'Infinite Incursions'?

[proud wing]

2022, when it was launched.

[merry quiver]

So… M‘Benga, or SNW M‘Benga?

[dreamy patio]

obviously the new m'benga

[noble dagger]

So why did the points on the Mbenga sms double this week? Pretty sure it was 1/2/4/8 last week since I only hit milestone 3

[ornate geyser]

If payouts change, it’s because players hadn’t engaged with the content in the expected numbers

[noble dagger]

So you’d think they’d go down then 🤦‍♂️

[ornate geyser]

Works both ways. If engagement exceeds expectations, there’s room to make things more expensive.

Players have more impact than they realize…choices matter.

[quasi mountain]

Why incursions during the start of new territory season? Nothing like fighting 2 servers for a piece of pie

[ornate geyser]

Max Fun Factor.

@zealous patio is there an error in the announcement #⭐-official-announcements message with

Recruit M’Benga - SLB, April 20-21
ingame news already stated a SLB on these dates

[proven flame]

im trying to see the error? Epic recruit is the m'benga recruit?

[versed stirrup]

Announcement state them under

Event Schedule Additions

maybe it's just a clarification for the officer or maybe they wanted to announce the event for 27-28?

[proven flame]

I still don't see an error. I see clarification on who is the epic officer for recruit.

You'll never get 2 epic officers on 2 SLBs in the same weekend. They won't lose money like that

[versed stirrup]

**Additions ** in my book are events which wasn't announced to this point like the epic recruit on 27-28 or syndicate xp event

[smoky ferry]

My

[spice brook]

We normally get incursion prep events on the weekend before, which would be now. Has something changed?

[naive meteor]

Yes, they don't know.. 🤣

[celest relic]

They’ve had it in the past where we had incursions events…after incursions. Seems like we’ll probably get preparation AFTER said event. Cuz ya know, gotta make War Room matter. As if we can’t get enough alliance points without incursions, lol

[paper venture]

Not shocking people not engaging the payout have gotten worse each arc.

[celest relic]

Omg…would they make Sam Kirk the epic officer for next months auctions since they have two month events running?

[plush storm]

I came here to ask about Incursion prep events too.😺

[paper venture]

Anyone else have this event stop scoring today?

[celest relic]

Nada. Maybe lag? Or directives scoring? The sms is mats only. So if you called rares and epics the slb would score but sms remain stagnant

[proud wing]

Just worked for me

[jolly sun]

@zealous patio @cosmic steeple .. same question gents 🖖🏻

[proud wing]

You don’t need prep, just a sign post to our unshielded whales

[jolly sun]

We should be on attack, so party at your house 😆

[proud wing]

I hope so, we had attack the last 2 times

[celest relic]

They could just throw some transfer coins into a gift chest the day of incursions and be fine to run prep afterward

[ripe briar]

Hey, did I miss a memo? Do Texas class hostiles not count for battleship hunter?

[dreamy patio]

Chasers usually don't, manually target the ships in the system.

[naive meteor]

Permanent transfer token's would be better...

[celest relic]

But they need scarcity for stakes. If I can jump back and forth without consequences it might lead folk to not hard push their galaxy fights as much

[violet salmon]

Guys, is there any way to track the progress of the Heroic SMS : The Cloak of war ? 7 days left and i am at 472.5k with no event missed… so i was wondering about it. <@&509691205798592532> thx

[violet salmon]

Seems something did not score for me, thx for sharing.

[dreamy patio]

This is with one point pack.

[violet salmon]

Ah ok

[dreamy patio]

and haven't done today's bp event yet

[proud wing]

Depends where the points are expected to come from, it is heroic after all

[violet salmon]

50k point pack?

[dreamy patio]

yes

[violet salmon]

I was wondering if it can be completed F2P 😬

[quasi token]

Don’t you need to complete all ticket events each week as well?

[dreamy patio]

yes

[quasi token]

So unless you saved tickets as f2p it’s Heroic.

But they could have done better with the description.

[violet salmon]

Ouch… that would be bad luck

Thx for all clarifications

[naive meteor]

Ticket Event is a solid waste of time

[languid sparrow]

is this wek 3 of arc? war rom?

[steady hedge]

@zealous patio S91 just merged with S90 and we didn't get any events for the merger. Also, no Incursions prep events? Is Incursions still set for Friday, Apr. 26?

[naive meteor]

Check your game..

[naive meteor]

You have a chance to get to know each other, and probably
" prep for the next one"

[steady hedge]

We know each other enough to know that we want to win this one. Thank you very much.

[naive meteor]

Welcome

Anyone else missing "War Room" events?

[kind birch]

Oh! 😄👍💙

[vital holly]

@stable crow that is probably it. I know the daily minievents are offset by an hour right now but I didn't think Lat rush was offset as well

[stable crow]

all events that are on a set schedule start an hour later, arc events and other manually scheduled events start at the correct time.

[gentle forum]

Is Scopely going to run the special building upgrades SLB this week?

[dreamy patio]

Probably not, but there will be slb for the war room tomorrow

[static mica]

Do those on a bye week get incursion exo store?

[scarlet osprey]

Not the exo store, iirc.

Just the event rewards store.

Has there been any indication of when there's going to be another event that requires spending FC mats?

[fiery compass]

i believe there was a mention of possibly between arcs

[dark scarab]

Does this mean we get another bi-week or we losing shields and getting some compensation chest because no one knows how to fix galactic cluster dumpster fire of people getting drained for no reason. #⭐-official-announcements message

I am server 703

[cunning radish]

Huh?

It says you are vsing 700

[dark scarab]

700 is vs 701

[charred vale]

Anyone know where I can collect 4 Damaged Data pads for the mission Invaluable assets? I am trying to unlock dark space.

[crude canopy]

105 ascension vs ops locked 39 400, could you feed back to the team to allow ascension for us over at 400? 😂

[rocky wing]

if you've done all your missions in faction spaces, then it's bugged. Talk to customer support to grant them to you

[charred vale]

I think I have done them all, can not seem to find anymore. Dark space does unlock at ops 38 correct?

[rocky wing]

Yes ops 38

[charred vale]

Ok that is what i thought. Thanks for confirming this with me.

[rugged frost]

damn...im curious now mod...

[charred vale]

Still no luck, guess I will need to put a ticket in, which i have one in already for another issue on my account that is still not fixed. I have put 5 tickets in for the other bug, and nothing...Zip... IDK why i waste my time even putting tickets in really. They fix nothing, and tell me to provide a screen shot. Well how many of them do you need for the same problem?

[woven zenith]

@charred vale I know of a few players that needed to put tickets in for a missing missions. When I maxed vdar fir tallios I got no mission either. Had to put in a ticket

[charred vale]

I just put one in so we shall see what they are going to do.

[charred vale]

So like i said I put a ticket in, and they come back with this:
Hi there, this is Dash reporting in. Thanks for reaching out about the issue with collecting the data pads for the "Invaluable Asset" mission.
I can offer some guidance. The items should be rewarded after successfully completing the below missions:

yay more pvp for an already broken mechanic, smart one Scopely lmao

[hushed owl]

It seems more likely that, next time the USians have a clock change (got to cater to the needs of the USians. Since we're all on the same server...), our events will be changed to be two hours apart.

[eternal cedar]

Glad to see scopley isnt listening....

[ocean lily]

well why listen when the players still pay any way

[stoic lantern]

Points were not counting at start of event. What’s the point!

[hushed owl]

And that's going to be active at the same time as Incursions. "Yay".

[quartz ore]

It's not even an SMS, so there's no reason for anyone to stop killing everyone they see...

ups they did it again, all feedback from last time down the drain

[dire pollen]

Must be the feedback from those who spend 198€ or more which are taken into account

[compact monolith]

Some call it PVP others call it POS 🙄(Player on Standby - of course)

[dim surge]

So let me get this right.

1. 7 day PvP event in all systems. (Whales only event but also makes daily grind for normal players impossible)

2. Incursions 24 hours this Friday on top of this stupid PvP 7 day event

3. Territory zones all reset and bonus points for the PvP event if hitting in territory

Basically making the game a fully PvP game for the week.

Only way scopely will learn is if active player numbers drop. Just going to put up 7 day shield and come back to game when this craziness is over.

Game is already a grind for normal players. This just makes it unplayable.

[acoustic bronze]

Idk about other servers but mine is half dead and we normally have a lot of active people

And scopley I thought I made it clear last time get rid of the stupid points for marked alliances

[dim surge]

I’m putting up 7 day shield and gone from game until it’s all over. Actually might make me quit and I’ve been playing since day one in dec 2019.

[silent cedar]

should at least be a massive penalty for hitting surveys that don't even give points - the amount of people killing miners is too high (they say they "didn't know" but they keep doing it)

[tacit hound]

Same here on 138... pvp in EVERY system, lots of people going off for longer times.

[pliant cedar]

Miners count for the United Earth Fleet ALB. Everything counts and it is a 4 day event!

[tacit hound]

Everything counts in large amounts... 🎵

[humble moon]

Literally zero ships in Exchange space for the BP event on my server. Whales cleared and everyone else just gave up. Another fantastic event by Scopely to encourage limited participation by average players.

[distant dawn]

War chest AMS is super easy to finish by swapping opc feesha with friendly alliance, that even it ok. What messes it up is the event that forces every alliance to flag every other alliance on server as enemy for 4 days. Once that is gone, War chest event will not be disruptive to gameplay

[hallow flower]

<@&509691205798592532> Not getting points in United Earth Fleet event for hitting neutral (AKA no marks) alliance warships.

[shadow wyvern]

Points adjusted from last time- intentional or error?

[versed osprey]

amount of points you get from upgrading the war room as also changed

[compact agate]

@cosmic steeple Same question as 89 got nothing either including the communication leading up to it. It's gone OK but could have been better.

[crystal stream]

As it stands, the warroom is the worst addition to the game as it stands. It spits in the face of star trek and klingons by rewarding the most toxic of traits in the game. Hitting miners that have no opc and awarding points for it is just bad. There is no honor in it.

It has great potential to be a fun component but it detracts from the game as is. Galaxy wide forced pvp is bad for the game and player base. It is no fun.

[keen mist]

They know

[hexed anchor]

just waiting for the compensation chest... upgraded the building 4 levels and got 0 points

[versed osprey]

thats not what it does

it gives bonus points based on your lv

so lvl 19 gives 19 extra points per kill

[hexed anchor]

oh... now I see it! tkx for explaining!

[ornate geyser]

The grabbing hands, grab all they can….

[soft tulip]

Hey look, what a surprise, War Room event is on again, so once again, can't really do anything in this game because some overzealous whales are killing everyone within sight.

[spice bronze]

War room sucks.

[outer chasm]

Sorry guys, been playing pretty much every day since 2019. I've never posted ANYTHING about things I thought were broken until this pvp debacle. I tried to play this arc but the 1st day I couldn't complete literally anything, I failed in being able even do battle pass. Every trip out of my base, i was killed by someone with a 1B ship, 2b in repairs to fly back and die again. You have created a world where you HAVE to grind so many things then made it impossible to do so. For the first time ever I have completely stopped playing during an arc. Not sure what you guys were thinking...

[potent anchor]

They don't think. They get told to increase revenue and, it would seem, reduce the player base

[outer chasm]

Zone pvp, territory pvp, realta pvp, incursion pvp, alliance war pvp I get, but total wholesale slaughter of every player under ops 60 just doesn't seem like a great idea by any metric.

[sleek sage]

I agree with the comment about 7 day shield and go do something else. Multi day global PvP? So you really don’t want people to play then Scopely? Why should I bother if I’ll just be killed by some wallet warrior anywhere I go?

[versed stirrup]

Why do I have a feeling the double territory multiple didn't work in unconquered territory?

[nocturne karma]

Zoned PvP is always so awful. Sometimes it can take way too long to finish sms’ because of it

[stable talon]

Should stick the pvp in territories make people fight over em way it is in our server every 1 is nice to each other big clans sticking together and no areas r taken over that would get em buying packs lol

[rancid kelp]

Do we think there will be any events giving Emblems of Honor besides this Gorn Venom SMS?

[stable talon]

Or at least put it in named systems

[agile steeple]

Should just remove banding altogether. It's not really fair that someone can drop 200 thousand dolla and not be able to hit down all the way

[visual tree]

@cosmic steeple Is this a joke? there is no way bigger player have a chance in this. Have ops 52-53-54 players, getting 20 mio 30 mio points by just levelling the Generators C-F. While bigger player need to spend 2-3 k to get the same points with the war room. Got to be something wrong there.

[agile steeple]

Nah it's fine don't even trip dawg

https://tenor.com/view/rick-and-morty-dont-even-trip-dawg-gif-9357172

[woeful prairie]

Don't worry....the day the galaxy purge ends.....Incursions starts

[ashen wren]

They clearly have a typo here in the last word, the correct way to write it would be D I S S A P P O I N T M E N T.

[celest relic]

Lvl 1 Prime. Hit new players

[agile steeple]

Not a bad idea. Make it 99 tiers and 1 tier = 1 level punch down. Set for a few years

[soft tulip]

Not to worry, they will probably hotfix it if it affects whales

[visual tree]

Don't need hotfix just a ops 61+ bracket mate. Think it is good that the lower brackets get there hands on the stuff.

[agile steeple]

There were 10 g6 in my last material slb. It's getting really dumb now

[abstract pollen]

Seriously, Scopely, if you’re going to FORCE a PvP event, than you need to FIX your pairing system for people of certain levels only allowed to attack certain other levels. Like some form of level/ranking system that dictates who you can attack, and/or move all the PvP events to certain areas of space (i.e. a few systems outside of the neutral zone would be the place to go for PvP fights. There is a LARGE chunk of your player base that just want to play to level up and get their favorite ship. Not to be FORCED into fighting players completely out of their league.

[spice bronze]

Reading these comments is a lot better than playing this crappy game.

[warped ginkgo]

Bigger players are meant to score by buying the emblems and maxing out the war room. Cmon now get with the program, that 2nd scoring is for us lower levels to force you guys to buy more packs, about time the tables turn 😁

[coarse cradle]

Incursion during a 4 day pvp event? Really Scopely??? You're not ticking off enough people so you had to throw incursion into the mix? You clearly didn't read what the players thought of this stupid event the first time around in this arc did you? You decided to bring it back and see what you could do to make it even worse. You are taking a great franchise and defaming all that it is, everything that it stands for. Way to go.

[stable crow]

incursion seems to me like the perfect time for overlapping pvp events, more targets that don't complain and can't take revenge the next day.

[covert flume]

Only thing I look forward to with the incursion is the 24 hour cease fire afterwards. Lol

[coarse cradle]

So your own team is fighting each other while at the same time fighting the other server? What kind of sense does that make? Incursion is about working together as a server, not fighting each other while fighting the other server.

[stable crow]

attacking people from your own server during incursions is dumb, makes more sense to attack the other server so it counts for arc pvp events and incursion events.

[coarse cradle]

I will tell you, my server will be attacking each other for the pvp event. Those are the alliances that they have marked to score more for events.

[stable crow]

you can mark alliances from the other server.

[coarse cradle]

What can happen and what will happen are two different things. And how can you say for certain that you can. Have you ever done it?

[elfin anvil]

Scopely forcing zones of conflict by creating multiple layered pvp events is interesting I am disappointed that the pvp brackets are not adjusted. I’m lvl 64 and shouldn’t be able to hit a 41+. Fix the g6 economy before creating such chaos to include territory reset. Roflmao

[ornate geyser]

Meh. It makes perfect sense for a server that’s a bloodbath to keep fighting each other during Incursion.

[sage mango]

https://tenor.com/view/war-hot-shots-fantastic-great-gif-16878818

[agile steeple]

Brackets are too restrictive. Pvp protection from higher levels should end at 20. No reason why players that drop 200 grand on this game shouldn't be allowed to hit ops 20 players

[fierce void]

Do we know if next XSLB is for Nurse Chapel?

[coarse cradle]

Why the heck would you want to? What accomplishment is there in such a victory?

Punching up is where the pride comes from.

Not punching down 20+ levels.

[agile steeple]

Sometimes you need to thin the herd a bit so the server can stay healthy. The more mouths to feed the less everyone gets from slbs

[coarse cradle]

That's just lame...about as lame as spending 200k on a broken game.

[ashen wharf]

yes game death is the only way for peace

[agile steeple]

It's the only way out. Honestly should just make all space like territory. No banding on the ship pvp, at all

[coarse cradle]

You might spend 200k on this game...but you would be playing the game alone...that would cause everyone to leave.

Then who are you going to pvp against?

[agile steeple]

No one, but we would get all the officers for free. That would make up for it

[coarse cradle]

You are very short sighted...you would not have the game you want to have if you got your way.

[coarse cradle]

Why would anyone who spends 200k on the game care about getting free officers. ROFL 😂

[agile steeple]

Everything tastes better when it's free

[agile steeple]

Then we would be free

Can you imagine a life not claiming hundreds of chests every day at the same time, with 3 seconds of lag between each claim? I can

[coarse cradle]

Ok Im done playing along you troll.

[hexed inlet]

Isn't that just called deleting the game?

[agile steeple]

Can't be done. Then the game would win

[agile steeple]

You know how I know the people paying 200k care? Because they ran a g6 only material xslb and they cried so hard they comped them all 100 shards and never tried it again

[ancient meadow]

https://tenor.com/view/star-trek-tas-spock-stupid-idea-gif-21428379

Nope, Keesner!

[ashen wharf]

whales cried and got a free officer unlock

but “f2p” and low spenders cry and everyone loses their mind

well f2p and low spenders more so just ask for atleast an logical way to get “anything”

games so backwards its kinda funny you all pay at all its like a collective of lost brain cells

but just reading global chat kinda made that obvious

[abstract gate]

This PvP event is terrible. It's an event to let p2p whales to hit down 20 ops people so they can feel good about themselves

[ashen wharf]

yah pretty much i hope it finally gets people to realize the game is 💩

[abstract gate]

Yea, I'm pretty much done

Wait till scopely reads my Google play review

[vale finch]

Anyone remember the event "Race to Ops 20"? We should get the event Race to Ops 50.

[white widget]

So let me get this straight. If you have uncontested TC you don't score for this event? Who thought this is a good idea?

[ornate geyser]

And then tried to convince the rest of us they were thinking of us…🤦‍♂️

[celest relic]

I don’t see that you need to challenge for the territory. So you could likely hit all takeovers for points. Losing scores, so realta spam should be fine

[ornate geyser]

My event says you score when you defeat the other player. But wording is vague about whether you need to actually challenge for the zone or just kill sometime in the zone.

[ripe jungle]

It’s confusing the first scoring card says defeat player but the second one says win or lose

[white widget]

I do believe your alliance would need to be contesting territory to score.

But just like with the pvp ALB that does not have description updated (that base hits do not score and that floating miners do score) scopelly severely lacks in comunication as usual

[cobalt totem]

You have the original event right alongside it

[white widget]

I know, but if uncontested aka no ship kills during that time , no points on that event

[cobalt totem]

So we have to do some PvP. That’s pretty much the point of this arc 😉

No one has territory right now, I’m sure I can find some ships to shoot during everyone filling up territory again over the next week

[white widget]

it will all depend if you have to join the takeover as an alliance or not to score

[spice brook]

I see the words “territory capture” not “takeover”. I think it’s just any PvP in the TC area. But I have not tested it, yet.

[proud wing]

I think those are synonyms.

[abstract gate]

A Dish Best Served - SMS - missing info. Do alliances have to be registered for the takeover to get points or anyone can score regardless?

[brittle oriole]

It's a surprise. You can never know for sure how to play it just by reading the event description.

[naive meteor]

Put it This Way,
An alliance " Stole " another Alliance territory During the first Incursion, broke the server RoE plus didn't give it back

[white widget]

what do you mean stole?

[naive meteor]

The alliance only had a couple of ship's in for points, the other alliance did a hostile takeover

[white widget]

So the alliance was not prepared in case of being contested, how is that a ROE breach?

[naive meteor]

They " All " the Alliance's put it as a rule LoL

[white widget]

lol

[cobalt totem]

You don’t need to join

[proud wing]

Up next, TC changes so that the holding alliance can’t join…

[cobalt totem]

No you don’t need to join the takeover. Just kill ships when a takeover is happening

[white widget]

yep, tested myself as well

[abstract gate]

Thanks. will try it and see.

[warped ginkgo]

Ran into some issues because my members thought mining ships counted for this because their event didn't say non-mining player ship , what's up with that ?

[dreamy patio]

surveys don't count for the alb, but they do count for the war room and slb

Despite not being listed, it's scoring on the gorn venom slb

[serene helm]

We had some in our alliance with different descriptions one way to get pvp I guess when it then turns into war 🤣

[flat hatch]

These PvP events lasting more then a day is ridiculous. They should be restricted to specific systems and PvP should be only allowed within 5 Ops levels. Server wide PvP ruins the game for us PvE and free 2 players. Terrible Scopely. Didn't take any of our feedback into account again. 🤬😠💩

[heady mica]

These seemed to causing a lot of grief and maybe people quitting?

[mint idol]

Incursion event would be a good time to donate and quit

[sage mango]

TY SCOPES!! Finally! a pvp centric event that can be done in the TC area with rewards feeding the TC battle pass and the war room. AWESOME

[celest relic]

Lol, not gonna work, opposing server. Unless you wanna hurt your server/alliance, do it early enough to get vaulted before incursions, or long shield til incursions is over. We’ve had folk purposely try to throw incursions that way

[civic frigate]

@cosmic steeple check ur dm pls

[cosmic steeple]

I'll see what I can do. I've been on vacation and won't be in the US time zone again until next week.

[civic frigate]

who can i message about an issue i found with the discord room...? ie a scammer

[dreamy patio]

<@&509691205798592532>

[cosmic steeple]

Talked in DM and their already off the official server. Will look into banning.

[civic frigate]

tyvm

[distant dawn]

Will there be a Heroic sms along with weekend xslb recruit event? At least for 51-60 ops, that cannot reasonably participate in xslb with 61-70?

[civic frigate]

uk 51-60 in w/ the 60-70 crowd

thats like asking for fair pvp lvl restrictions lol

not happening

[austere stirrup]

aaaargh stupid batlepass missing points till milestone day
