Odd... considering like I said I just hit 24, saved my uncommon g3 for shield, hull, and research speed, and because of that my NS is only 78k
#🏆-event-chat
feral flicker
meager ivy
I need 1* rare cry to teir to next lvl
feral flicker
and 25s only give me 1 point anyway so they don't matter to me
meager ivy
Yup. 25 is 6pt for me...
I paid for prime sheild. It wasn't worth it... But hopefully the hulls I'll get done ... My vahk isn't built for two and half days....
Then I need lots to make it ready for 26s
Just insane the mechanics of this game.
Oh look. Here we go again 😬
feral flicker
Yea shield isn't near as good as hull. Hull increase allows you to farm a lot more before having to repair, without increasing repair time while shield doesn't really do much since how often does 1 npc wipe out all your shields
8 hours to get 5000 points... seriously?
and my server has maintenance in 45 minutes, for "5 hours"....
abstract gate
Here's one of the real problems of these events you want massive amounts of work and spending for very little s***
There is no reward really on a lot of this s***
feral flicker
Well the recruit box is pretty nice imo... and if you're not speeding through ops levels (or are lucky unlike me and don't hit the next tier of event <24hr before event stars) your ships can be good enough to do well in the solo event with the right targets and officer setup
Turns out my 74k vahklas does pretty well against lvl 27 interceptor (74k power) with Chen captain and Shev/T'Laan bridge support
My 80k NS with Kirk/Spock/Sulu doesn't do very well against 74k power explorers though... can only kill like 4 or 5 before repair
abstract gate
If I complete event which sucks out the resources I get maybe 9 on Commons for 3000 points which is probably about 350 ships
river sedge
So, for this event, why do some people only need 1k to complete it and others need 5k to complete it?
feral flicker
It's based on your ops level
meager ivy
feral flicker
Higher levels can get more trophies
meager ivy
That's the rewards for Lvl 22
(more trophies higher teir)
For 8 hrs of... Slog, grind... Etc... It really is crap rewards
limpid yoke
Its a shitty rewards. Not worth it spending rss
feral flicker
So with a 75k power vahk I can kill only about 8 lvl 27s and 1 25 (49 points) before I have to full repair (1.5 hr repair time before at most 17 alliance helps).. including repair times I would need at least 12 hours to get to my first tier of rewards...
abstract gate
Yeah majority is my guild has already agreed did you just say F this event
We might do enough just to stay in the top 10
meager ivy
Add to that getting stuck in warp... And bring taken out by a trained fighter
abstract gate
I went to hit a regular ship two or three times and it must have changed into a guard one
feral flicker
I actually did the math for a level 24 to max the event and it's basically impossible lol...
5000 points for max... That's 834 level 27s in <8 hours... That's a level 27 NPC kill every ~30 seconds, not counting travel times (whether warping or impulsing to target) or repair times
abstract gate
You would need multiple ships you'd have have like the max points for a ship was someone else killing all of your little ones for you so you can get more big ones
I mean if you want to go to Whole 6 hours straight busting ace out of your base you can probably do it
You probably feel like shooting yourself after you do it but you could probably do it
Scopely like by this hundred-dollar pack and we'll give you these two shiny pennies you like but they're pesos
Scoopy we're proud to announce we have another special event so bend over and touch your toes
I think they need to lower the rewards may be down to a half of a resource
Other games they give you a special event where you can collect resources inside a packs that are protected from raiding. I mean they give you maybe a thousand par or a couple hundred Tri for some of these 10-minute boxes which you had the lag to get into
New event rewards are no better
You have buildings that cost you Millions of resources they're acting like a few K is like a big deal
Heck as hard as T3 uncommons up are hard to get if you would maybe offer me 20 or so or 30 in an event it might be worth fighting for it
There ain't no way in hell I'm going to grind for hours and hours killing all different sorts of different size ships to complete this is especially for like six or seven uncommon mats
soft gate
It is mind boggling how poorly balanced this event is. I’m beginning to think that the development team has no real QA to speak of. It’s sad because I used to enjoy these type of events, but recently they have just become to prohibitively difficult.
abstract gate
Agreed at least at the very least they need to put x amount of each level of ship and have them respond this bull crap where they changed into different ships where I can't freaking hit a level 26 or 27 sucks
No I got to kill freaking 200 24s to be able to get the damn 26 level ships
prisma aurora
Given the puny level of rewards compared to the obscene costs to repair ships and the time needed to complete the event, ya gotta be drunk like a leprechaun on St. Patty’s Day to want to compete in this event. Who designed this thing?
modern estuary
lol its St Patrick's day
not Patty
Patty is a female name
Paddy is also acceptable
Paddy comes from Padraig which is irish for Patrick
lethal lion
Patties Day ! Time for some burgers
abstract gate
They need to take the flag reaction off of this event announcement so that way they can put the credit card on
Hell even with a credit card is still suck
dusk garnet
This PVE event is horribly imbalanced for L24 players, and from what I hear, many other levels. It's pretty damn insulting when 2nd tier rewards are practically unreachable. #STFCisnotajob
abstract gate
Hal9 say in the bugs that 30s only have to get 1k points
dusk garnet
o7 Twin. 😎👍
abstract gate
19 800 points 30 1000 points. 20-29 screwed up to 5,000 points or more
Welcome to the club
I'm currently creating a scoopy event. While sitting on porcelain. The rewards are exactly the same.
glad remnant
HOW THE???? Do you calculate the reward??? I don't even want to bother trying tis.
quartz fox
Same here. This event will take more titanium, then the rewards.
To get 1 or 2 points per hostiles is BULLSHI T
tiny dagger
the only problem i have is THE LACK OF LVL 26 AND 27 SULIBAN CABAL'S!!!
limpid yoke
The only event that is so so is the daily mission.
abstract gate
Lvl 31 need 1000 points, or 50 ships (basically the same as their dailly tasks
29 needs 3200 or 160 hits.
solid glen
It`s very easy. You dont think, you make the event, you spend latiunm, you pay the game - thats it.
meager ivy
@abstract gate seriously... Just their daily?
paper plinth
stop having events at these scales. rewards dont cover repairs. grinding thousands of ships at same lvl ur base is insane. players should be able to accomplish events, even F2P. i played many app games but no events were this insane. but what else to expect from developers who cant even get basic game play mechanics to work.
meager ivy
@quartz forge @twilit imp are you reading this constructive feedback? The game will loose players at this event... I mean the 10m grind a few weeks ago was bad... But doable... This... It took me 7.5 hrs and Speedup repairs...
And I am a strong 22...
What's going on... We know it's a resource waste. We know it isn't worth trying...
Even getting to 1m damage in the lat event was worth it.... And a realistic milestone...
No chance I'm gonna spend 24 hrs straight playing
abstract gate
The event is pointless. Hit 1000 lvl 34s or 20 lvl 38s. That'll cost 120m trit in repairs of a T8 rare
and 120hrs of speedups
Scopely does know we already have jobs right? @twilit imp at lvl27 I have to kill 200 lvl30 hostiles to max the event...my best ship can manage around 25 before a full repair taking 2hrs....and we are supposed to do this every 8hrs? Scopeley can Fuck all the way off and when they get there they can fuck off some more.
Not to mention slapping a 5hr maintenance right in the middle of it all...gj screwing your playerbase again 👍
earnest hornet
Yea and also why does a lower level have to hit more to get more point for only a few tokens, yet a high level only has to hit a few and get a heap more tokens. Surely it should be the other way around
meager ivy
... a few more... Lvl 18... Lvl 20.... 12k ships. Lvl 22. Lvl 26. 60k ships....
meager ivy
AHH well .. may as well fire up old faithful
jolly mist
@twilit imp can you explain the top 50 part of the St. Patrick announcement a bit more? Also perhaps the solo event should be longer than 7h, for example 12h. It takes 3-4h of solid hostile killing and the rewards are not worth it. To me the uncommon is the most valuable part on resources, my alliance feels like there is a 0 or 00 missing. I make excuses about making faction farming somewhat more productive.
tame pebble
@twilit imp are you going to fix the event?
meager ivy
@tame pebble "everything is working as expected. Please buy a few packs and upgrade you're ships"
rare violet
Ummm Killing 250 enemys is working as expected? 🤔
meager ivy
@rare violet for scopely... Yes... They want a fast buck. Not loyal customers
This is why timelines have loyal customers.... Events are realistic
tame pebble
@twilit imp and others dont even bother to acknowledge that there is a issue
rare violet
Well even the bigplayers in our Server have to kill a pretty unrealistic Numbers of enemys
meager ivy
And that's one of the biggest issues..
@rare violet 22 to 29 have been screwed. Nae said tcbh only needs to do his typical dailies, above
upper linden
30+ only need 1000 points. 29 and under 3200.
rare violet
Joey... 5000 on lvl 24
meager ivy
But as Bob just said... 22 to 29 are the money men... They have likely spent something... And may buy packs to compete...
upper linden
Oh I just know 28-29 is 3200 because I’m 29
rancid gazelle
4000 on lvl 26

3000 at 22.

Even if i would spend Killing 250 enemys is totally bullshit, i have better Things to do
upper linden
Ye it’s clearly another scheme for players to use up some latinum and resources
meager ivy
The rewards are shite. It took me 7.5 hrs to complete and had to use speedup repairs
upper linden
Just like the suicide boss one.
meager ivy
And loot box drops have significantly dropped too!
rare violet
Coincidence ^^
meager ivy
16 ships to do the 3k
inner wolf
I'm skipping it not the effort
upper linden
It wasn’t thought out well surprisingly... they had 7 days to figure it out lol stalled like heck on the last event.. took me 5 mins to complete for 50 of each. Now this? Lol
meager ivy
Yep. I think everyone in our alliance have said we're skipping this
Just not worth it
The rewards are a pishtake
upper linden
Anyhow for faction rep farmers it’s easy. For others have fun.
inner wolf
Both soloand alliance reward's are crap
rare violet
Perhaps they think we are lemmings^^
upper linden
I’ll be skipping the ones during my work hours just take to long to complete zzz
inner wolf
One box every 24 hours😩
meager ivy
I used to get a loot box for every 3 ships. Now I kill 30 ships and get one box
pure fractal
The rewards are almost setup like they are for the benefit of the newer lower lvl players. Helps them. But after say lvl20, not so much. But really benefits all the biggest teams who will surely win. Nicely done 👀
chilly cedar
I get one box every 85 days
Cause I don't buy packs with tokens foto open the good ones ir any of it
meager ivy
Gaby the 85 days is how long you have to spend the credits in the pack you buy
chilly cedar
Yes but i don't buy any
chilly cedar
Yesss

heavy moat
It's simply not worth the effort. At level 22 I have up after spending 30k tritaniun and not even reaching level 1
turbid hornet
It is costing me more in repairs than the rewards are. Forget it.
I’m only half way to the first reward after over 70 hostiles
devout talon
I find the NS great for this event, at level 20 I farm hostiles in romulan territory that drop trit, I can finish the solo event spending ~40k in repairs, but getting 30k back from the hostiles+ the event reward
fringe cliff
@devout talon yeah that is a good technique to mitigate things. I'll also run any combat daily goals and/or missions prior to farming as well.
Since I'm doing those anyway
devout talon
but if I didn't have my NS, with baby khera would have been a bloodbath, so it definitely needs more fine tuning
fringe cliff
I don't do the top tier though- repair costs for the points is just too much
oh kehra is worthless
that think got beaten with the nerf bat something aweful
the NS works well with a crew bonused to lasers and burning
devout talon
I have quite poor officiers, never invested on them yet, but I wanted to find a good NS crew for base hitting
fringe cliff
@devout talon if you get your faction standings up- it is easier to grind for faction officer packs
bright oriole
I bet solution will be new packages with Ship Parts of D3, Mayflower,...
fringe cliff
At consort level- I'm getting about 2 klingon packs/day
devout talon
I'm low on rep, but I've also been very hesitant to spend any faction credit, saving for ships BP
lone prairie
I just tried to open 5 chests on the st Patrick Days recruit , it took my tokens then said it didn’t get processed . So I lost the tokens I used and no recruits received anyone else have same issue
slate steeple
but when you get your rep up, you also have to kill higher lvl ships to get faction creds? So for a lower lvl player that wouldnt be an answer
fringe cliff
@devout talon you have a north star
Go run faction missions, focus on one faction
I wouldn't start saving faction tokens for ships until level 27
You can't build them until shipyard 28
dump all the tokens into officers until then
devout talon
thanks, mining missions are easy and always done, combat missions are a bit more challening
fringe cliff
The combat dailies are going to get harder as you increase standings
devout talon
I have 75k rep now and it's asking me lvl 26 ships I think
fringe cliff
At consort- I have to do x25 lvl31 npc's
shrewd plover
@fringe cliff you have to be kln or rom. Fed consort is 25×lvl33
fringe cliff
I am klingon
shrewd plover
Fed guys are screwed all the way...

I farm romulan
Mainly because eventually I want to swing back and do fed standings.
Not because their ships are good- but because who doesn't want an enterprise lol

Lamest event ever...lvl 23 can get 20 pits for lvl 26 NPC s but lvl 24 get 2. This assumes lvl 26 has the Kumari ship.

Hey guys,
we are trying to figure out how many event points each player level needs, could you please tell me your numbers? ;)
This is what we got so far:

5000 for 24
4000 for 26
3200 for 28-29
1000 for 30+

Proves research , tier level of ships and crew are more important than ops levels.

what are your npc/point levels though?

Lets complete this list to see the full event design bullshit
fringe cliff
@tacit gorge canceling a cc upgrade because of an event with marginal rewards wouldn't be the best idea
abstract gate
anyone with lvl 21,25 and 27 here?
unfair for lvl 24s - try a lvl 34 having to hit 1000 lvl 34 npcs - without a high tiered faction ship. This event is not worth doing
even with a high tiered faction ship - this event isnt worth doing
fringe cliff
So, the thing to keep in mind- is repair costs
A level 31 is going to have massive repair costs and times

Its guaranteed uncommon which I need to progress. so I do the event

someone really messed up here. 6 hours downtime for a few mining bugfixes is shocking

@twilit imp This new event is garbage. I've been concentrating hours and I can't even get to the first tier of individual prizes for the solo event. The top tier alliances are winning big while the rest of us don't get anything. Typical unbalanced and unfair event where only the rich get richer.

Who makes up these events? Lvl18 I have to 160 hostiles to get the top reward. Lvl20 only needs to kill 75. And you get more tokens as lvl20. Guess I haven't spent enough $$$$$ so they won't give a shit

Level 19....did both hostile events...needed the uncommon...easy
Glad you higher levels have problems tbh

@narrow walrus be 22 and have to do 3k points or like 25 and do 5k
narrow walrus
@abstract gate yeah but what's the top single kill points? 20?
ivory vault
Exactly Twin
narrow walrus
For 3k that's 150 kills. Lvl25s are worse off like
For this game you need no job and no life. Not good for casual players
ivory vault
Hi Twin. I’m ok. How are you
abstract gate
Yeah you don't learn any more points but they dramatically increase the amount of points you need which is bulshit especially since they don't have a set amount of ships in each system so I'm going to have to kill like 500 or more ships to be able to complete an event and I only have one ship able to kill them
I'm doing alright most of my Guild's pretty much said screw this event
narrow walrus
Yeah I've give. Thought I had a chance when I seen it. Not sure how long I'll keep playing
abstract gate
At the most i get is like 8 or 9 maybe uncommon material for the event sucks ace they don't give you a s*** for this game unlike other games but they demand so much more for it
You do if you can find enough of the big ships you can complete it but man it's just bull crap later on
fathom kite
This event is hot garbage. At 24, even if I use Lat to repair and only hit the 28’s (20 pointers) it’ll take me; 250 hostile ships, 400k tri to repair, 750 lat to speed up, and about 4 hours of non-stop. All for 9 g3 uncommons and not even 1/3 of your repair costs back.
abstract gate
If I could kill all just the same size ship it might take me a while 150 ships now the other bigger players they got a Kill 250 but they all got to Be the top ship in the event. If I killed this second-highest I'd have to kill 500 of them for 6 Points each now the people that are 5K points you know what I'm just going to throw a number close to 850 of them. Now at level 30 apparently they drop you back down to 1000 points
winter token
This event is Top of the fail
abstract gate
You could think huh well maybe they raising it up to keep the cash players from being able to overwhelm people cuz then they give it back easier for people that are above 30 and the rewards are total crap
fathom kite
Like a real question is who quality controls numbers for this game? The balance of everything, nearly everytime, is incredibly poor.
abstract gate
I don't know but I got a three-year-old I could do a better job if they're hiring
Hell I'm sure there's some one year olds that could do better
waxen vector
@twilit imp any reason why ops 25 have to kill 5000 points worth and 26s have to kill 4000??
livid raft
No reason, it works as intented.
gray rover
Because killing higher level hostiles is harder and the power difference between a 25 and 26 player is negligible
abstract gate
That doesn't make no sense if an 18 or 19 only has to get 800 points I'm pretty sure I had to kill larger ships at level 22 so by that since I should be able to kill 400 point and complete event
Level 30 i hear only has to do 1k points i hear
How about the balance out the damn ships and they give us all a flat rate
gray rover
By level 24 you can have a Kumari and the only thing left is higher level techs
livid raft
Its easy to kill 5000 level24-25 hostiles in 8 hours. Only one hostile per 5,7 seconds.
fathom kite
Lol
abstract gate
Yeah that five second battle every time not to mention the travel time so you hell you're probably going up to 10 seconds or more
Then you got to add in travel and then you also have to add repair time
livid raft
Its kind of hardcore grinding.

One of the requirements for their events is being able to bend over and touch your toes

@abstract gate not my 3 yo couldn’t but my 6 yo can.

@coarse dune hey now six year olds they might be overqualified and scoopy not willing to pay for that kind of quality
I mean you have to be impressed with scoopy and give them their props they can even chase away Star Trek fans what they're poorly designed crap
waxen vector
Seems like every at 25 ops quits at 2500 cause its too much to try and get to 5k
coarse dune
@abstract gate I have said if this wasn’t a Star Trek game I wouldn’t be playing. Still better then timelines.
@waxen vector im level 23 and I stop at 1500
charred prawn
yeh 5k is far too much at ops 25 no idea wtf they were thinking oh wait they probably weren't thinking they certainly don't both responding to any of the issues and actually fixing or changing things
coarse dune
What I don’t get is why it drops the higher you go.
amber moat
Honestly it's like someone added a zero to the requirements instead of 500 it's 5000
That would line up with the lvl 30's needing 1000, as well
waxen vector
We have to kill 250 at 20 a pop..
vivid marsh
Can we have screenshots showing the discrepancies in killing hostiles?
edgy wasp
I did a bit better hitting non-faction hostiles last night. Still nowhere near replacing the costs of repairs.
vivid marsh
I'm level 25, is it true that you need 5000 but every other level is arranged such that 1k is hte actual max?
vivid marsh
Is it the difference between a founding server and a new server?
edgy wasp
took me 3 trips w g3 ships to do tier 2 rewards
vivid marsh
Requirement at level 25
edgy wasp
my tiers are 375, 750, 1500, and 3000
vivid marsh
It takes me more than 3 trips, I have to kill so many
How many ships do you need to kill withinan 8 hour period to reach your max?
edgy wasp
I haven't gotten that far into the math... I didn't pay too close attention how long it took to get 375
vivid marsh
I think I'm supposed to kill 250
edgy wasp
I just saw my tritanium burning away and decided to go back to faction hostile hunting for dailies
vivid marsh
Oh you were killing non-faction hostiles?
edgy wasp
yeah primarily in Hoeven and Ciara in Klingon space
iron roost
150 20 point kills to max out

There's a few nonfaction hostile systems in each faction's space

Event is 6hrs long on my server
The last battle for glory event when I was lvl 20. Required 375 points to complete all 4 teirs.
abstract gate
Weird. On our server, I was killing PvE anyway - no credit for them toward the event because it hadn't started... next thing i know, event seems started with only about an hour to compete. WTH? Nevermind the warp lag...
An event prior to maintenance like this seems silly.
coarse dune
@abstract gate we to be fair this was supposed to happen last week.
abstract gate
@coarse dune yeah, but the event seems lopsided too before the maintenance, which is really my point here. So, if we're actually gonna be fair, maybe the event should have slid back too. ;)
coarse dune
@abstract gate I’ve only ever played this type of game with this game so I don’t know the full scope of the problems they would have. But I’m trying to be patient for the love of Star Trek.
abstract gate
@coarse dune I'm happy that this is about you. :)
vivid marsh
lmao
coarse dune
Well it takes a lot to get@me to@give up Star Trek.
vivid marsh
this game might do it in
coarse dune
No I’ll still love Trek. Timelines just was boring.
vivid marsh
how did they handle the bugs?
coarse dune
Trekels was just stupid
vivid marsh
or user complains?
coarse dune
Never had one.
But then I’m not the kind of person that complains about a free game.

This event is a monumental clusterfuck. Even if it was on a 12hr cycle the rewards are nowhere near where they need to be to make it worth our time and rss.

Well it is a hard grind, I'll give you that ... Time consuming and resourcess burning event ...

I'd say it is prety rewarding . and lets not forget Character chest in officers store .. got 35 Khumak yesterday ... again, rewarding ... Only thing is it requires alot of time and resourcess..
If anything I would say progression curve is nice but resources burn is too hard... thats just my 2 cents

lets not jinx me with that 😄

i can hardly find a lvl 32 ship for my bortas.. we are 4 ppl here that farm those
so i have to mainly kill 30s and 31s which takes much longer
than 2 hours..
brittle oar
🤷 didn't invest in kumari and dont have d3
cosmic ferry
Ah ... mkay , I can see why its taking more for you . and its a pain , for sure
I am sorry I invested in Kumari ... I would have 1 tier stronger Bortas

yep that was a mistake then xD
i can just imagine that it must be a real pain for 24/25s who need to score 5000 pts

wait what ? 5k?

i had no idea
i thought lower than me is less points ...
hmm 🤔

To me on 1st look looks like Gauss curve
cosmic ferry
yeah similar ... with peaking around mid 20ies ... hmm... interesting .. the way they think how to get most of money out .
Out of mid 20ies players who are too weak to do 5 k without a boost ...
While I was 24/25 If I remember corectly I couldn't farm 28-29 ...
on 27 I could
gray rover
They imagine the spenders to be overpowered vs their level...it’s to put pressure on the moderate to low spenders who are no in the overpowered bracket
cosmic ferry
Most of the players who do not invest on my server are currently in mid 20ies
Now I understand better my guildmates who are strugling in that tier
gray rover
The f2p players don’t figure in to the equation
rare violet
Im lvl 24, i can kill lvl 28, but not 250
brittle oar
i really dont think there is any logic behind this
lvl 30s are the big spenders, not 24s
rare violet
Especially when the reward Not even equals the repair costs
brittle oar
its just some random guy putting some random numbers together
abstract gate
Could those points be matched to the hike in NPC power levels? For example, a lvl 30/31 might seem powerful but a lvl 32/33 hostile is a monster.
gray rover
Yes
cosmic ferry
Well one solution is to keep same curve and target points but just to reduce for certain levels lets say 25 not to kill lvl 29 NPC for 20 but lvl 28 .. but that would require a lot of testing
@rare violet I could kill lvl 28 also but I couldn't farm lvl 28 ... or kill 10 of them before repair
rare violet
Thats the Point even if i can kill Like 12, 250 ist beyond all limits

Worst event ever
The amount of tritanium i lose for repairs isnt worth participating

Huh, now i can't load the event how to score thing

Anyone having an issue with hostiles being defeated not registering? Since update my event says retrieving?

Can anyone see the individual how to score thing? Panic said adjustments, so i want to check
heady wedge
If kill requirements are like they are and we need to kill more because easier at higher lvls like me i kill 34 but i dont need to kill 50 i need to kill 160 since i only get 20 points should increase points instead
So if so then if i just kill 50 34 hostiles i should get 64 points for each lvl 34 not just 20

@twilit imp
Event rewards go to same large alliances every time. Bullies get stronger. Group rewards to Alliance power levels so the small ones can fight it out and actually have a chance to get something.

Read announcement? They really don't see differences beetween level. I need on 24 around 6 hours playtime to finish 5000 points. 30+ need the same time?

@rough cloak I’m lvl 26 and spent 4+ hours grinding 30’s to get to 2,000 pts. This morning 2+ hours to get 1,276. Then remembered I have a real job.
@sage torrent Probably based on lvl.

What about retroactive adjustment to ST Patty's day solo event for hostiles killed and awards I've claimed already . Is Scopely going to credit and adjust awards upwards accordingly. Already expended significant effort on the event.

@twilit imp how is it possible to destroy 5000 lvl24-25 in 8 hours? It doesnt matter if there is increase in prizes. Thats not doable.

@livid raft exact
narrow yoke
@livid raft its not 5,000 ships, it’s 5,000 pts. At max 20 pts per ship, it’s 250 ships. Still a tall order.
spice lark
Yeah current event is awesome, after making efforts to comply with normal life (worthless efforts) i have less than 4 hours to focus on stfc (my real "life") to finish event with worthless rewards and even worse statistics of completion for max reward.... Guess focusing on rl is bad for stfc

250 ships aint possible for the Most Players on lvl 24

I didn’t think the rewards were that bad...

I'm lvl 24 and it took me a little over 6 hours with a cpl of small breaks yesterday to do the 5000 points. 💩

Not to mention the costs of repairs (and repair time) make it impossible unless i pay for it... Which makes a free2play game nothing like a free2play game..... More like a hidden pay2play game

@rare violet It’s doable, just not practical. And yeah, you’re burning a lot of repair speedups. I suppose that may be a challenge for a lot of f2p players..

@twilit imp will the increased rewards be reciprocal?
quartz trench
I burned 95% of my speed ups and enough lat that I regret doing it

Yeah its doable If u have stored a huge amount of boosters/latinum
humble geyser
Lvl22 f2p, taking about 2hrs to complete with a t5 NS
livid raft
@narrow yoke i can take out 10 lvl28 hostiles between repairs. Every repair cost 31k trit and over 3000 dil and 1 hour 45 minutes to repair. Thats not doable either
soft drift
When are rewards being adjusted
humble geyser
Killing 25/26 and 27s if I have no choice
rough cloak
@narrow yoke yes that's it. To compare is rly difficult. The ship strange is essential to do it fast or not. My Vahklas has 147.654 strange, 28 enemies have 127.232. I can beat around 7 per round. 30 Latinum later the same again. 37 times and long waiting for 28 ships in on of 2 fraction areas I can find them. And I am not alone ...
spice lark
Spend 20 mins hunting. And 4 times or more repairing. For 1/4 strech towards 1 reward
forest barn
Higher rewards don't matter if it isn't possible to get them
narrow yoke
@livid raft I feel your pain. I can kill 15-20 lvl 30’s per 65k trit 10k dil repair + 4 30 min speedups. 15 or so trips in 2 hours. Not cheap. I think I’ve burned 30-40 hours of speedups in the past two days.
rough cloak
@forest barn sign!
sour vapor
Our server is already starving to death and is almost a ghost town...this event does not relieve that at all...many more are leave by the day...and noticed it even more drastically since the start of this event...I hope the changes make it so the event is rewarding for all lvls but especially the higher lvls...we need some rss back in our server
narrow yoke
@rough cloak I concur. I am also optimizing for my kumari going after faction interceptors. Using combat triangle is essential. The only non-faction interceptors I have found are 11 min away from me. Faction ships stronger, and unfortunately lvl 30’s don’t seem to want to spawn, so Im either killing lots of 29’s for chump change or taking it in the teeth hitting 31’s.
rough cloak
Solution maybe hitting non faction npc? An then for reputation another 10 Million faction ship for this damn reputation? Lifetime event ... do you know the Asian grinder Aion? Looks like this game is similar.
narrow yoke
For me faction npcs are 5 min round trip vs 22 for non- faction. For players serious about the event it makes sense to relo to the system where you are hunting. On my server, previously empty systems are packed. (Which makes for happy hunting).
limpid yoke
Now they are saying they will adjust prize?!!!!! Fuck it, these bird brains wasnt able to think of that before implementing it!!! Pathetic
rough cloak
I test it (Vahklas) against non faction interceptor lvl 27 and 28. Little bit faster, but even about 4 hour playing for 5k points instead 6 hours fo faction ships.
sour vapor
I can forgive mistakes...I hope the adjustments make the event worthwhile and relieve some of the starvation

This event sucks. Something isn’t right. I would say for all levels the prizes don’t fit the cost in time and materials. But that’s just me

@twilit imp what idiot low lvl players told you high lvls have it easy and what made you believe them

so much easier to do the event when the rewards for first tier are 7500 tritanium, aka .4x the cost of one single g3 ship repair
and it takes 3 ship repairs to get tier 1

Scopley u make me so happy.
waxen vector
@abstract gate I agree 24/25 range is retarded
250 ships at the min.. Only 2-28 systems so you have to go to a 30 and kill 29s or you wont find enough 28s to kill
frozen field
@twilit imp
Hi commanders,
I want to address the current St. Patrick’s event. There is the perception that players at higher levels have it easier than those at lower levels i.e more hostiles killed for lower levels in comparison to higher levels.
It might feel as a lower level player that you have to do more work but the costs and difficulty should remain similar across all levels. This has been adjusted due to the higher costs and difficulty at higher levels.
We’ve taken your feedback on prizes for the event and we’ll be increasing them (by a significant amount) so that they can sufficiently match the effort.
You have got it wrong. You need to increase the points not the rewards, there’s only around 5% of players on our server (the ones with faction ships) that can compete in this event*
brittle oar
*decrease points plzz
chilly venture
my main problem is that most of the lv26 to 27 on my servers only have a kumari that can hit lv30 faction hostile. I have both feds and Klingon faction which means I am limited to Romulians, and basically only Romulains explorer.
Which means that I can only farm in one or two systems, and I have to compete with several other players in the same situation...
abstract gate
We can actually do another funny math on this event.
My NS can kill 5 LV 28. Rep cost is about 6k trit and 1300 Dili. Soo i need 50 Tripps to do 250lv 28.
50* 6k is 300k trit and 50*1300 is 65k dili. each rep time is about 30 min after help so that's only 1500 min or 25h.
I don't count the trip to where the LV 28:s are. Seams useless 😋
halcyon haven
Listen guys, of course higher level players will have an advantage over lower level players in events, if it was similar, why bother upgrading?
abstract gate
I have no issue that higher lvl player can manage this event. Idc tbh. I only care about the pooh possiblity that I have. 😎
flat plinth
The main problem is the repair costs aren’t worth it. We only get a fraction of those back. The other rewards aren’t nearly worth the cost.
halcyon haven
Repair costs are dependent on hostile strength and your own ship strength
If you want to minimize repair costs, use battleships, they have the most Hull
flat plinth
Well anyone hitting a lvl 25-26 should be in the same boat. I’m lvl 23 so no access to a battleship just yet
And I have to hit 26 for 20 points, 25 for 6
I assume it’s the same for all lvl 23
abstract gate
Tho this event sucks for lvl 24 players. We can all be soo happy with the mining fix released today. So we have some to do while this event is running.
Now parasteel mining is so fast. Envoy that shud mine almost 9k/h, is mining about 1500/h.
To sum it all up.
Crappy event
Crappy fix
Well played scopley, u almost made me spend another 100€. NOT
waxen vector
@chilly venture you can farm alot of systems.. Just there are no systems that maintain 28s..
chilly venture
@waxen vector I specifically need to farm romulians explorer lv 30 for the 20 points without losing faction rep. SO basicallt Parka and Lempo are the only system I found.
And there always are lv 26 or 27 kumari here for the exact same purpose, which means that it takes a lot of time to farm those
waxen vector
So I only leveled kuma..
You...
Kenhra rocks imo seems like a player issue not scopley issue
chilly venture
You obviously have to prioritize if you are not ready to spends thousands in order to upgrade all ships...
Khera is too weak at low tiers, and needs crystals that are also needed for both NS and Horizon. Hence it will obviously be lower priority than the other
sour vapor
I am a lvl 14...this event is super easy for me...1000 pts...I can only get 5pts per kills but only have to do 2 runs with phindra and done...I’m not complaining it is difficult for low lvls...totally the opposite...I am in the top alliance on our server...we have many paying players with some super tough ships...they are having a difficult time completing the event due to cost of repairs and lat or speed up...events should be rewarding...this event is starving our server even more and the rate of players quitting has increased a lot...I think the event needs a full revamp...if an event runs 8hrs...you should be able to complete it within at most an hour if your ships are decently strong for your lvl but less strong ships should be able to complete the event as well
gusty rose
If you read the update from panic they are fixing the event
sour vapor
They said better rewards...the actual requirements need adjustment as well
chilly venture
@gusty rose they only said that they would upgrade the rewards, nothing else
gusty rose
Well if it covers the repair bill plus some more uncommon that's fine by me
chilly venture
not if you have to hit 250 lv 30 explorers like everyone else of your level : those are basically extinct on my server...
gusty rose
But yes, i have to kill 200 lvl 30s, and thats a big ask
waxen vector
@chilly venture lol like you would have survey parts...
chilly venture
not factoring that's 10 round of 2h repair if I want to reach the last milestone. So unless you can burn a shitload of speed ups, no way you can do it
@waxen vector my NS is tier 7 and my horizon tier 3
I don't care for survey parts, those are cheap as hell with latinum
waxen vector
Lol really? For me they are like 3 lat per part
gusty rose
And on mine, what we do is have 3 players all needing the range of ships in a system that way its keeps everything respawning for everyone, if mb you justvmoving from system to system after say 28s, you doing it wrong. Takes at most 2 hoursbwith 3 people in a system
chilly venture
since you can't use latinum for most of things at my level (they can't replace uncommon g3) the best way to use those is to replace g3 parts and common g3 when upgrading ships
gusty rose
@chilly venture indo thebsame with my lat, thebkiller is the trit
chilly venture
I have 1.5 lat for the example I'm looking at. I have lots of latinum, best way to uprgade those components
waxen vector
At least u have a place to kill 30s.. Tell me where to kill 28s in mass you gotta skip amd kill 29s
Stupid event 20-28 level 29s a run...
jagged lion
I could care less about covering the repairs, I want the uncommon and the alliance gold trophies...what do I care if I lose 70k trit per repair, I have 50 million
waxen vector
My only grip is there are no level 29 systems..
jagged lion
@waxen vector what kind of ship are you using?
jagged lion
try Ascher...in Fed space
and Noaklyn...not lvl 29 systems but both have lvl 29 npcs
waxen vector
Lol I hunted. Where skoal wanted to
I droppes my kenhra in Rom space for the extra 50-100 points when I was afk
marsh iris
What's your repair cost and time for a move like that? Being low level I have trouble believing the difficulty is the same
waxen vector
30k trit 4k dith and 1.5 hrs repair for teir 4 kuma
Teir 3
Just goes up alot after that
Yea 24/25 only need to kill 28s and there is nowhere I know of that has a good quanity of them
jagged lion
Completely destroyed, my tier 5 kumari is 148k tri & 29k dil...repair time is 4hrs, but with research and upgrades it takes 2 hrs 46 min
waxen vector
Costs him 30 lat hehe
jagged lion
yup. I've spent money tho, so I just use the lat..its worth it
waxen vector
Well if anyone has an ns they spent money

waxen vector
3 is lovely for raiding
crude frigate
@waxen vector between the ns missions the ns chests and the event there were more than enough to get a free ship just expensive and a pain to upgrade. Most have to spend lat for the g3 survey parts
waxen vector
I must of missed event then
crude frigate
I didn't pay anything for kid ship however I did buy the cheap upgrade pack to get it to tier 4
For the ship
ruby lion
You are also assuming people were high enough level to actually get those ns solo missions.
crude frigate
That is true enough. Level 18 for the solo event I believe and if lower level was jelly from what my alliance guys mentioned
ruby lion
Yeah i heard 18 as well. I was only 13-14 unfortunately.
teal orchid
It probably takes 40 million tritanium to get the lv35 top milestone for each repeating event. If the prizes don't reflect that, the event can go jump in the lake.
crude frigate
G only did first tier of one round at lvl 24 had to hit 30 28s and g lost over 200k visit plus speed ups total bs
edgy wasp
I spent about 60K tritanium getting the first tier the first time I tried. I've been doing a bit better now that I decided to stop trying for only the 20-pointers.
modest oyster
Don’t think so... I’m in the top alliance in your posted SS
We are just spending raided rss on repairs lol
It’s really about level range right now low and high are a bit easier to get Max trophies
waxen vector
30k trit 5 repairs 150k is all its going to cost me + 105 lat in speedups
supple haven
@twilit imp I like the effort, but lv22 200pt 375 point, the rewards don't cover the repair costs.
We're talking 200 lv 22s, my ships clear about 25 of those, and cost 10k trit to repair.
So doing this event is a resource sink.
granite cobalt
Wow the amount of rewards I can get for the event have decreased waaaaaay down. Ops level 9 here. Used to get 2000 dilithium for 1000 points in top tier, now top tier is 500 points with 35 dilithium. So much for increasing the rewards by a significant amount!
soft drift
Y’all really lower normal rss rewards ...you do understand that was reason most of us was complaining....
solemn shard
Increasing the rewards significantly means cutting them by more than half? From 5k Dil down to 2? Gimme back the 800 point level I want the high tritanium and dilithium rewards.
So stupid. I swear scopley is run by a bunch of monkeys.
soft gate
I’m lvl 22 and the new point and reward structure are waaaaaaaaaaaaaay better. I will be getting max points every 8 hours here on out. @twilit imp good job.
frozen roost
Level 24 and this event still sucks.
frozen roost
My tri reward went from 120k to 130k.. hardly call that significant, especially since I've blown 200k on repairs
waxen vector
And how much you make killing?
frozen roost
Probably about 50k-ish. Hard to tell with all the repairs so I'm rounding
frozen roost
Wouldn't know haven't been able to clear the first tier yet
Most of my trip comes from what the hostiles Carry
waxen vector
What ships and what power?
ruby lion
Lvl 18 max reward for 400 points. No reward increased but points halved.
waxen vector
Double the crystals and common no?
ruby lion
Seems like it but cant remember
edgy wasp
yeah they halved the points for me, and I assume that they doubled the rewards (minus the trophies which are the same)
ruby lion
Ok i was going to say that they gipped you but then you explained it lol
abstract gate
They changed it to 8 hours rather then 6 i think
rancid python
This St Pat event is only for those who have Jellyfish or Northstar. I don’t have either, and every 3 hostile (level +1) cost me 5k of tritanium to repair. I am out of tritanium before I hit 20 hostiles, never mind 175. The cost is not worth the event.
Oh by the way I cannot win against level+2 hostiles. Get defeated every time.
halcyon briar
what hostiles are you hitting and what ship are you using? @rancid python
ruby lion
Yeah idk what a level+2 hostile is
tall peak
I'm guessing they are trying to hit a hostile that's 1 lvl above 'em. They aren't saying what their level is because it's prolly super low.
but i'm not sure why the repair costs are so heavy. i mix up what I hit so I don't have to run home after a few battles.
halcyon briar
if i had to guess, they are hitting interceptors with their talla, which is why i asked so i could suggest alternatives
limpid yoke
This game is full of bull crap
Instead of rss inflation, they made it rss restriction
Cost of repairs has been bumped
No wonder this game wont even last 2 years from now
3 big spenders in my server already quit
ashen pawn
Its basically impossible at lvl 24 to do the event without using repair tokens/Latium. Using lat for repairs is bugged. They need to look at each level tier work out what the max power/ship is possible without crazy spending. So for example at lvl 24 a Kumari teir 4 (as to get to 5 takes uncommon and thats bottlenecked), so then factor in the repair time and costs and just how many NPC's at a certain level they can kill in that time frame then adjust the points accordingly. That way f2p players can possibly do the event, whales well they are whales they would have an advantage but they will only get the max tier same as everyone else. Do this across all level bands and make it so the event is possible without repair tokens and lat for all levels p2p or f2p.
also maybe mix the rewards up, so the 3rd tier reward gives 4 uncommon ore, something needed massively at some levels top tier gives 8 crystal those that need the uncommon ore desperately (I myself am in that boat havent been able to build anything for ages because of lack of uncommon and the refining rates sucking) get the short straw, how about the rewards change between rounds so the top tier gives uncommon ore or gas sometimes?
abstract gate
Just tried to hit 2 tiers of the updated event .. to humour me - 2m trit in repairs (lvl 34 - so hitting lvl 38+) - nope still not worth it
uneven jungle
@twilit imp I see you have lowered milestones in event.. it’s still impossible. I have spent money on this game on many occasions, and it really is fucking frustrating that a paying player like me, and many others can’t do events because we have too weak ships, even though I have upgraded it as much as I can without buying even more. And there is all these bugs. Also you have those ridiculous missions where you have to return something to planets you can’t travel to before you’re lvl 40......
give me a good reason why I should continue playing and buying packs. This is getting insanely stupid
ashen pawn
event should pay off they should be possible to do and doing them should leave you better off, all that happens now is you dont do them because your better off
winter token
Despite the adjustments, the rewards in the event are still not cost-effective. You can see how haphazard you are
uneven jungle
I am about to give up on this game and do like I did with marvel contest of champion game. Call Apple and demand my money back, mcoc money have me a new ps4 with several games.. guessing I can buy a new phone and iPad for my refund this time ..
soft drift
Why did 22-23 bracket get trit and dili cut down ...
wind arrow
You get rare mats and points that you use for free recruits plus other things for a small loss to trit and dili. I'll take that deal every day
Since they cut the requirements in half it's much nicer. Doesn't take hours to complete.
tawny coyote
@ashen pawn I agree we you. The event did get any better. I’m at lvl24. Use two of my stronger ship at the same time, spend about 5 hours between the time it take to repair and I could not even get to complete the first lvl of the event. Then if you want to purchase a ship package at $99 dollars it doesn’t event give you enough to complete one tier. I need 290 to finish my phasers. But the package only offer 68 uncommon so I can even do one phaser. So fix the refinery or adjust the package so you have enough 3 gas, crystal or ore to complete a tier. @twilit imp <@&509691205798592532>
proven fulcrum
@twilit imp At lvl 28 the event rewards increase and reduction in points needed makes it actually worth participating and is very appreciated on my server. The event was time consuming, but definitely not impossible before, but is far more manageable now. Thank you. And if you get bored, just up the rewards again.. I wont tell anyone. 🖖👊

for lvl 14 its still quite hard to kill 125 enemys but i think its doable...if u really want to, i will quit after tier 3
meant lvl 24
abstract gate
With all ships to repair (still one after one, but that is an other point),...just sad...if not for alliance i would skip it
fringe cliff
I think it is subjective. The points cut and reward buff put me@over the line with the event being worth it. Before was a hard no. But now with getting x8 3* uncommon ore each timer I’m fine with that. The refinery drops are so low that I’m ok to trade at this cost/reward level. But each player is going to see it differently based on their needs
proven fulcrum
I guess it comes down to repair research and speed ups. I get 38 30 min speed ups daily from my two factions, plus alot from boxes and alliance gifts so running out isn't something that occurs really and it only takes me 2 to 3 runs with my Kumari and d3 running simultaneously to kill 80 ships. So 30 assorted uncommon every 8 hours is worth it. I'm normally hunting rep anyway, might as well get paid for it
twilit imp
Overall remember guys, team is trying out new kinds of events. So feedback right now is always given so that we can make future events way more enjoyable / fair and challenging at the same time
proven fulcrum
The last hostile event did offer 24 3* uncommon Crystal's at tier 3, would like that back, but that's my only criticism. Other wise worth the time even at 10*
devout talon
hey @twilit imp I think iterative work is fine and very much appreciated. but it would be great if you could share a bit more about the current and future content. it's a bit sad that a lot of people I know are inactive because they just don't find enjoyable waiting in the dark
twilit imp
We'll see what we can do with sharing upcoming features
abstract gate
First of all , if you label an event , St Patricks day event, it should be labeled in the events list similar so people know this is related to the announcment
I found the event nice while i was at lvl 10 where it was tought but still doable to get points but unfortunately i advance to lvl 11, not i dont bother with it because i have to kill lvl 11 enemies for 1 point, I can hardly manage to kill them but have to come back always for repairs, too much downtime
i guess i will stay in this level brake until i get to lvl 16, so in a while it might be doable for me again, but is it intendet to shut me out of this event just because of my level
Lastly people like to give feedback , but they want to see what happens with it, if not enough information sharing from your side, people get fed up and stop giving feedback.
glad remnant
FIRST DAY OF THE EVENT : I could kill 5 klingon interceptor of lvl 28 in one run, but the reward was BS.
SECOND DAY OF THE EVENT : I can't even kill one single Klingon interceptor of lvl 28.... Same ship, same setup... 🤔🤬

@ashen pawn I only have teir 3 kuma and I am able to kill 20-30 29 explorers u doing something wrong..

If he is going after interceptors- he must be using a vahklas

Guys, this game wont give anything back. Stop spending!!! Its a total rip off!!
fringe cliff
@waxen vector I do the same thing- kumari vs explorers
limpid yoke
Stop participating with this unnecessary event. Its designed to take all rss you bought
fringe cliff
Why would I do that?
limpid yoke
They bumped the cost of repairs
fringe cliff
Technically it is taking resources that someone else bought....
Because I'm not the original owner 😉
limpid yoke

I think you're on my server. There are several bases I'm watching
A lot of dudes are buying packs for this event and not remembering shields....

@limpid yoke I made rrs

Probably
fringe cliff
I'm not doing the top tier reward for this on though. Primarily because I mostly need uncommon ore
waxen vector
Event takes 30-45 minutes if you have two other people
fringe cliff
you mean two other ships?
eh, it takes me about 30 mins as well. I hit near my base
limpid yoke
Takes me 2-3 hours to finish mine
fringe cliff
Oh, you aren't rushing timers
fringe cliff
Same.
limpid yoke
Its easier to finish on 20s i guess
fringe cliff
lvl 30 using a kumari, NS, and vahklas
vahklas only hits the lower level npc's to keep the larger spawning
lvl 30 system that is- I'm lvl26
fringe cliff
Yeah, I try to focus on the 20pt npc's.
You have a faction battleship that can farm those levels pretty well?
limpid yoke
Level 36 which is 20 points would cost me to destroy a 600k power hostiles
Fack that
rain shale
Very interesting going from ops 19 to 20 in the middle of this event. Only getting 5 points per kill on levels 20+ and needing 800 points to getting 20 points for killing 24’s at ops 20 and only needing 750 points.
fringe cliff
You are level 36 and don't have a high level faction ship?
limpid yoke
And they bumped the cost of repairs, so its a rip off
waxen vector
Still costs the same for my kuma..
fringe cliff
That is usually a problem when you pay to progress fast
limpid yoke
@waxen vectornope they increased the tritt requirements
lethal lion
Or you're forced to choose leveling station or ship and you choose station
limpid yoke
@lethal lion hey uncommon drops is better here
lethal lion
^ me. Trying to get to 24 then I'll chill there for a while and finally upgrade a ship haha
limpid yoke
So yah i choose station
fringe cliff
Yeah if you aren't paying, the game slows waaaaay down around lvl25
more time to max research and upgrade ships
lethal lion
Man it's already slow and I'm only 22. It's like 1 to 2 days per building already
fringe cliff
dude- this event should get me cc27 way ahead of schedule
waxen vector
2 factions up to 20 1 hr speed ups
fringe cliff
By my drops it would take me another month for enough 3* uncommon ore
if I was relying on refining
waxen vector
Idk I got 3 uncommon ore from drops so far
lethal lion
I'm about 10d away from starting ops 23, but only really due to common dropping 16 a day and I need 430
fringe cliff
@waxen vector I need a total of 170 for it. I get 3 or so uncommon every 2-3 days with a lvl26 refinery
had a 5 day dry spell last week as well
waxen vector
I got 3 from killing npcs
fringe cliff
you got refined ore from npc's?
waxen vector
So u can farm for them I guess
fringe cliff
3*?
waxen vector
Uncommon
lethal lion
It's funny j actually don't eant uncommon because I have enough for lvl 24 Ops building. But I'm dying for more common lol
fringe cliff
huh
lethal lion
What level are you killing? 30s?
waxen vector
29s
fringe cliff
Wow, I hit up to lvl31's. Not sure I've seen that. But honestly I don't look closely at loot chests
limpid yoke
Wow why they cant give that uncommon to 30s, all im getting is horizon bp

What's event tiers (points/Alliance tokens) for Lvl20?
zinc talon
@twilit imp Event just refreshed again today, no changes as promised in the anouncement yesterday. Players are holding off waiting for the improvements as current rewards for effort and repair is not worth it. When are you going to make the changes you mentioned
abstract gate
@zinc talon my requirements halved as of last night's refresh. im L22. what level are you?
humble marten
@twilit imp I had no complaints about the tier goals or points or cost of repairs when this event began. I was level 19 with top tier at 800 being able to hunt lvl20’s for 5 points each. You reduced the tier targets great. So I pulled the trigger on Ops 20. Now my top tier goal is 750 but lvl 20 hostiles are worth only 1 point? I’m basically out in f the event unable to kill anything above 21. You guys just robbed me of participating. Complaints about repair costs should not have altered the entire event structure. Those complaining likely have monster ships. What about us normal level players that grind?
zinc talon
@abstract gate You might be right
upper knot
Ops 20 opens up a new stronger ship so the issue is that you just hit 20. Use speed ups for the new ship and you will be fine
humble marten
Gotta research then build it not fast. And didn’t ask you
soft gate
@humble marten the new goals that you are seeing are actually significantly easier than when the event first started. When you hit level 20 you join the big boys club and get to see just how difficult this game actually is.
humble marten
Thanks for the support @soft gate
gray urchin
Hah, a brand new Kehra will get mauled in this event
humble marten
@twilit imp after reflection taking into account the access to kehra the great divide or jump in requirements should occur between level 20 to 21 instead of 19 to 20. So no player gets suddenly stuck like I am unable to participate in events. Events and missions are the whole reason I play this game, stop restricting us please. Now I’m unable to obtain all the rewards that everyone else is getting. This on the heels of wasting shields two weeks in a row for maintenance appointments that don’t happen. I’m a positive person, see what you’ve done to me? 😂
gleaming meadow
^ i agree. The jump from 19-20 is harsh
winged light
Hey, how many 3*uncommon ore given in the solo event for lvl 24-25?
For lvl 22-23 is 8 i wonder other level

@humble martenyou should have stayed on the easy part
Or could have done a research before jumping
next timber
Alot of alliance train people to max out b4 next level but that costs you somtimes as the next level can give you faster construction or research so it can help but both ways can hinder ur growth i e big level not maxed so weaker or maxed out low lvl with out biger ships its a catch 22

You can turn in your trophies in exchange for special recruit chests “new officers”
Not sure what the top 50 part is as there appears to only be prizes for the top 25 alliances
proven fulcrum
I know, but I had to ask devs
gray rover
Wonder how the top 50 players thing works
fringe cliff
your rank is displayed in the points notification when you kill npc's
gray rover
Sure but those go by every 8 hours and there’s nowhere to look up the rankings/prizes that I can see
twilit maple
Yea we have no idea what or if there are prizes for that. Whole event is sone very poorly. There should be a list of the prizes at the least
gray rover
I imagine panic is off for the weekend too
lethal lion
Mods are on from time to time
frozen willow
I just have to ask. Why are there rewards for the 50 highest level players. They will obviously be top 50 in event because they can get more trophies. Regardless of how much effort a lower lvl player has no hope of coming close to top 50 ranking.
That’s just wrong.
frozen willow
Come to think of it. All events are set to reward highest level players or the alliance with the height level players. I haven’t seen one yet that had a level playing field. Where even a level 20 had a chance to be top ranked if they put in enough effort. Top rank goes to the player that spent the most because there’s no way they can be beaten. Most times they barely have to make any effort at all. Example being a hostile kill event. Level 30 hostiles are worth more than lvl 20. You can kill 3x as many lvl 20 and not make it in the rank and the person killing lvl 30 wins. Who comes up with these things?
lethal lion
We've suggested brackets for events, so then each bracket has a chance to land 1st. Idk if they'll go with it
gray rover
We don’t know what the metric would be...maybe just points total
rugged shadow
Brackets would be the only way to make it fair and consistent across the whole game! Scopely has to realise that apple gives out refunds when players are put at a disadvantage to other players when money is not an object

In the event description it says top 50 players will get rewards, does it mean top 50 alliances?

gray rover
The regular daily events are really weak
Event the ranked ones where the prizes are better
meager robin
would rather make another northstar event. or better makes the compensation for all the same and not different. in my loyalty chest were only 50 latinum and I have heard or read that had some 500 latinum in it. slowly the game becomes uninteresting for the little ones.
glossy jungle
Im enjoying this event. Its helping me get uncommons to lvl up. Its albout better than refining
Its garanteed uncommons for killing hostiles that give you chests
limpid yoke
Really?
The rss you spent grinding is like more than what you actually get
Stupid event
limpid yoke
Id say do not spend on the game until they make the prize reasonable on events.
river sedge
The prizes offer 3* resources. Those are worth it.
I'd prefer to see the individual run the same length of time as the alliance one, as opposed to multiple individual events..with better prizes the more you kill...maybe kill 50k points worth of enemy, get 100 tier3 uncommon and a tier3 rare or 2.
Or even offer blueprints to better ships as higher prizes.
teal orchid
@quartz forge with monthly alliance events, like the recent domination event, will the domination event occur monthly, or just some alliance event? I'd like to plan for the next one.
low heath
Planning is strictly prohibited! 😂🤣
wise summit
So who thought it was reasonable to have a level 12 kill 500+ ships in an 8 hour period to get a total of 4 tokens, 1/13th of what you need for a single pack?
placid lark
They need to take g3 uncommons out of packs altogether and adjust the refinery to make it guaranteed you get a balanced number when refining multiple batches.. then events can helps speed up the upgrade process. Its ridiculous that it takes multiple $100 packs to tier a ship,a valk per say, 1 time from even 4 to 5.
Give some real incentive to working events.
next timber
The event is diferent for diferent people and changed for me half way thru 1st 2 days i had to get 1500 point to get 3rd prize 3000 to max at 20 per lvl 26 now its sitt8ng at 1500 to max(750 3rd prize) still at 20 for a lvl 26 but agree it coats more to heal and rush healing than you can get from event yet people with n s arr having no issue flying thru event and loving rewards ive never seen a n s pack or event thats how new i am yet over 800k power in this time so not litle either so to speak
glossy jungle
I got a NS and love it. It does help alot. Srry you didnt get one. Only thing i can say is explore all the systems. Some of them have NS blueprints. I almost got enough for a second NS
I also mean into faction space
teal orchid
@glossy jungle you neglected to mention buying packs, because that's the only way you have a Northstar and blueprints towards a second.
glossy jungle
I didnt buy packs just the Northstar as I was playing and almost had enough blueprints to get but the last day i wasnt gonna be able to play to get last bps. So just paid the $20 to get the ship. That is only money ive paid. I missed the Jelly events so i needed something to counter the Jelly
But i feel i spent money on something that gives me pleasure and that i enjoy so its worth it to me
Im not gonna spend money on rss or latinum since you can get it for free via daily chests and daily quests
inner stirrup
Tip, dont upgrade Ops21 to 22 mid event.... this totally scr3ws ur event... not worth anymore 😭
Instead if 20 points for lvl24 enemys i need to kill lvl26 now, plus i need double points to get now (750 to 1500)
gray rover
Ouch
echo dune
At lv20 finding the gas won which goes towards 100% prime shield research useful and the trilithium for upgrading ships. Using North Star (got during past event) easy to kill lv24 hostiles. 750 points is just right for an eight hour period without needing to be on all the time.
More events like this please developers. Appreciate if you just got to level bracket or don’t have a powerful ship yet it’s tough. Max your ships best you can before upgrading ops if want to do well in events.
gray rover
Rushing ops is a reasonable strategy as long as you accept that you will struggle in every other area until you level up the rest...especially ships
wooden thicket
@inner stirrup I did the same thing lol -- totally forgot that upgrading ops would put me in the next bracket. It isn't a total loss, though. I'm still getting the same amount of g3 uc gas and getting 4x more g3 uc crystal. Since I can't grab the last milestone, I miss out on the g3 ore. So basically the net difference is more crystal, less ore, and a net loss for Tritanium.

Looking at the rewards for this latest event, did someone there fail basic maths???
1 chest for 50 tokens or 2 for 120????
Who would cash in 2 at a time just claim single chest twice and save 20 tokens

@sleek urchin Limit of 1 choice per 24h
@sleek urchin Kinda the same as with refinery, if you want results quicker, you pay more per result.
naive panther
Any event that is called "daily", but resets every 7hours or any event that is only available at certain hours of the day is a joke. Those approaches do not support a healthy game play for any players, only leads to burn-outs and makes them quite playing. Making people set a clock to wake up every few hours, should be also not the intrest of Scopely. Also people on different timezones getting discriminated if certain boni are only able to get if they get up 2am in the night. You are forcing people to stay awake over night or break at least their regular sleep cycle non stop, whats the point? Even just offering a 8h shield is a joke, it should be 9-10 hours to ensure people sleep as much as their body needs for their age. The consequences of such irresponsible game & event design is dramatic on the long term and leads e.g. to dementia,...

@glad dock it's pretty clear that the game is geared that way but when the lower level player can't defend themselves because a ship is over 100k stonger they just quit and the server dies eventually
winter juniper
I loved the last pvp event, it was a blast. I enjoy PvP in the game, it makes it more challenging and fun.
midnight mural
I think they need a few more mechanics to even the playing field a bit and make the pvp more competitive rather than it just being a slaughter
glad dock
@midnight mural,I understand where you are coming from. My server started to go the same way. We have found balance. My alliance goes on group raids. The people we raid have to be whales. No raids if there is less than 1.5 mill in rss
heady gale
If there is no redemption box after placing in first because of the announcement then thats the last event like this i do, was way too costly
abstract gate
PVP event on the server I'm on was amusing, virtually everyone just docked up for a few days and ventured out into the real world. Knowing that if you venture outside your base someone with +5 lvls on you will be on you like a fly on 💩 doesn't inspire poking your head above the parapet. 😝
low heath
I'm thinking they need a combo event, mining and pvp at the same time. PVP, x amount of rewards, successfully mining 3x amount of rewards.... it would be so funny 😂🤣
edgy wasp
that sounds like it would actually be interesting.
especially since all the people killing miners would have their stations wide open unshielded
modest oyster
They need to designate some systems or nodes as special ore that yield 3x or 10x uncommon. But do not fall under protection.
Imagine the mining, defending and attacking lol
Sadly still biggest ship wins so sorta failure as rich always get richer
abstract gate
@modest oyster I am on a beta server where (before the galaxy map fixes) all 3* resources within generally achievable warp ranges were extremely scarce. As a result the top alliance decided to "own" an entire system, occupying all system slots and designating defensive players to attack on sight anything not purple or those alliances not holding "mining permits" via NAP. I'd worry that would happen again if there were special nodes.
I know on my server I suggested it should be a king of the hill type PVP event, spawned locations awarding points, longer you hold it for before being destroyed the more points you get. Think would even allow strategic play by alliances working together to take out opponents they might not be able to handle as individual players.
That would also allow those not interested in the event to go about their business as normal.
Could be hilarious though if some new player found such a node in a REALLY out of the way system and managed to win the event in a g1 or g2 ship. 😝
Make it an alliance event so you get teamwork! 😃
@abstract gate Exactly! 😃
Could also do a PVP assasins type event, where everyone is randomly assigned someone they have to find and kill (being assigned a new target on success), you have no idea who is hunting for you while you are hunting for your target. Though this event would likely require a lot more coding compared to king of the hill and would need very careful balancing to make sure players don't get assigned targets that dwarf them in power.
Probably also need a timer for each target to prevent players getting stuck on inactive players or something.
twilit maple
@twilit imp do we have an update regarding the top 50 player event rewards that did not go out as marketed?
boreal stream
Does anyone know what/when the next event will be?>
heady gale
I sent a message to support about the top 50 rewards but haven’t heard back yet. Next step is go to apple and get a refund on all my purchases
azure loom
@twilit imp I know your hearing this a million time already but I submitted a ticket that I didn’t get my event rewards today. I got a response back that I left my alliance... I never left once. Is this just an excuse that was made up because the game yet again messed up??
jagged warren
so, gonna be a mining event his weekend?
prime basalt
@azure loom did you change your name by any chance
azure loom
@prime basalt no I did not
prime basalt
Damn. I also didnt get awards, never left alliance but changed my name lol
azure loom
This is happening to 100’s of people and they are coming up with any excuse then can to not admit to it.
golden veldt
Good thing, changed my name after the event 😃
lethal lion
Yeah same here. I have a ticket with Support, well see what they say. Didn't change name, didn't leave or join alliance, just plugged in the time but didn't get a dime
plain elm
@twilit imp any info about the top 50 for solo?
tame pebble
where to see the ranking for top 50?
storm tusk
Is there any event for jellyfish blueprint comin in?
ebon galleon
@twilit imp any news on the next event? 😃
lethal lion
As much as I'd love to be optimistic, I have yet to see the event announced before it happens. I'd love it to be, but have yet to see
wispy ravine
Panic has a lot on his hands. Apply for the position and help out, I'd say. 😁
narrow yoke
You guys are animals. I’m exhausted from grinding last weekend and you’re begging for the next grind.
wispy ravine
Keep it coming. 😁
magic dock
NEXT EVEVNT DOES ANYONE KNOW WHEN OR WHAT IT IS ?
low pawn
Look for more bufs made by updates
wispy ravine
And you must find them, mine them and return then to base. Eggs are points based, depending on which you found.
vital drum
Ours want a mining event so we can farm them to our hearts content. It will be good
They're freaking desperate for a cease fire but they think abuse will make it happen. It's kind of funny in a baffling kind of way
wispy ravine
Our server has rules that allows people to mine at least somewhat in peace, up till they hit the protected amount.
Works great for us. Plus. The top alliances often negotiate peace during certain events. 👌🏻
vital drum
Yeah, our top alliance breaks the peace when they feel like it so any kind of lasting peace has become pointless
humble geyser
@wispy ravine found the eggs!
vital drum
We'll sort it out though. that kind of dishonourable behaviour will be dealt with, we don't like dishonourable behaviour
steep stump
Well done. We were never informed that if you dont score points you dont get rewards in Alliance event. Weren't those 2 events (solo and alliance) two separate events with separate rewards? Ofc there were reasons some of us couldn't play the event, and it doesn't give you the right to do what you will without informing beforehand!
meager galleon
Sounds like you got fucked by trying to leech off your alliance and now blame Scopely
thorn copper
lol every event requires you to score points to get rewards. Alliance ever said you need trophies so hmmm where do I get those? Oh here’s a solo event and it has trophies duh
meager galleon
If you didn’t put anything in why should you get anything as a reward ?
Quite logical tbh
thorn copper
amen @meager galleon
elfin meteor
Shows how dishonourable PXR are. They ask for one thing and then pay you out on the official discord

Are we ever going to get another crack at a northstar??

faction reputation event started
glacial token
abstract gate
seriously @twilit imp - 700k lat /70m par/ 14m trit / 2.8mil dil - for 150 romulan credits . I dont even need the reputation.
glacial token
The rewards are a joke
abstract gate
I get more romulan credits than that just mining 25k ore a day
glacial token
160 Credits for massively spending ? Complete joke....
I get more per day on daily missions
astral solar
This is mine I'm lvl 21..... It's pathetic
sleek harness
@twilit imp really... worst event I’ve seen and you’ve had some bad ones..
soft drift
@twilit imp is it April fools ? Wtf kinda event is this
lethal lion
early april fools
sleek harness
Time to stop playing it’s just getting worse and worse
glacial token
So...if I spent 300 000 Latinium....I get 160 Klingon credits 🤣🤣🤣🙈
north olive
Only 7.5m I need 30mil for again shit rewards
abstract gate
i completed this event in under 1 min. 😆
narrow quest
just don't participate if you don't like the event - just play the normal game. same as with the last one
abstract gate
@panic is this a joke? Because not even remotely funny
This is officially the stupidest event yet. And that’s saying something...
gleaming meadow
"choose your faction", offers no choice...
lethal lion
Well, at least we know what the next weekend event will be
dull tapir
9000 Latinum for the 1st level. F-THAT!
soft gate
Settle down y’all. It’s obviously prep for the upcoming faction event.
abstract gate
need the credits to buy bps for my Augur @narrow quest - but its a pointless event 700k lat is stupid for 200 credits
gleaming harness
Rewards are not impressive
narrow quest
@abstract gate I understand - the even won't be the way to get that, just normal farming
abstract gate
normal farming doesnt even get that lol
farming lvl 38 feds and mining ore
@twilit imp this is a slap in the face to every loyal player left...is the dev team completely tone deaf?
narrow quest
events don't cater to the normal community, just like with other mobile games
vital laurel
Is this like a reverse-economy event? Rather than make it better by introducing more resources, is the goal to try and get more people spending?
narrow quest
panic doesn't create these events, so no need getting mad at him
frosty inlet
So I can choose my faction in the new event but i only see Klingon as a choice. Are the others going to be different days? I have been trying to get in good with Feds so this is great but not if I can't choose Feds
narrow quest
community management is not easy^^
abstract gate
@narrow quest no but he's our conduit to the room full of reta4ded monkeys that do make this shit
narrow quest
hahaha, good point
worthy gull
Silly that you have to click join now
abstract gate
How about an event that actually means a damn thing? Or even better... an event that actually benefits someone other than your highest spenders?? @twilit imp @quartz forge this is frankly offensive. Where’s the Northstar purchase event y’all keep promising is “coming soon?”
narrow quest
just saying don't get mad at him - giving feedback is completely fine and in this case more than warranted
worthy gull
I started an upgrade after opening the event tab (but not hitting join now), and since I didn't click join now, my upgrade doesn't count
