So what do we have till now?
I need to buy packs or get maybe event rewards to do rnd to unlock building.
Then build and upgrade building to be able to launch armadas to attack stations for loot, to buy tactical cores or uncommon packs.
For that I need directives which I can buy once a week in alliance store, so the amount of launched armadas is limited.
Is that correct?
pretty much yeah
As I understand it directives, cores etc will be available as rewards too.
Armada Control Center upgrade reward, Alliance Store and Daily milestones are sources for Armada Directives.
Events are here
What's the rewards?
Whatever it is, it is core element to defend your armadas and or disturb others in events
Cauz u canβt launch them unlimited
Domination haha
Thanks @tame pebble
Thanks mate @tame pebble
Tactical cores are not enough to research armadas
Just for reference, you're lvl 31?
Lvl 29
Hmmm another mate posted same number tactical cores for lvl 31
How many do you need for research?
1000
So this is half, and probably there will be another event for other half
Also those chests in alliance store
maybe dailies?
Yeah, those too
Perhaps there'll be multiple way to get cores. Or maybe we're have to wait more... it's only been 11mths so far π
cant buy those in alliance store without armada credits
π
Or buy some big packs
Classic Scopely Douchebaggery.... Make the 'prepare' events just prior to this (Jailbreak/Domination) spend all the things you need (Officer & Ship XP) for the new feature unlock... Which means people are then forced to buy!! What exactly were we preparing?!
what were we preparing? the lube we'll be needing for what they have coming...
Help the fourth event is only 4 hours long and we can't do it cause it's still loading. The rest we can wait on over a day still
They offering Pack to purchase?
you have to ask?
I am sorry.... I should have said... what are the purchased packs.. my guess a $49.99 and $99.99...lmao
27.99 and 69.99 for me
and the event only gets you 200/1000 that you need just to research it
@cloud grail update the game client
then clear localisation
but no point seeing it
Thanksπ€
you will be disappointed
we are never happy
Uninstal game and go meet friends, better than pay scopely tax for armada
one of them is spend 600 directives, the other is kill 4 armadas
which at the moment , only way to be able to accomplish that is by opening up the store and swiping ur credit card
and buy the ACC PACK
@split sequoia so the control centre is locked behind a paywall?.
at this current moment yes
Armadas is free for all with a small delay.
You can circumvent that with a pack as with many things.
How small of a delay?
2 days likely
one event gives 500 cores and runs for 1D
so 2 days later get 1k
do research
D'Vor and Franklin have a small 1 year delay
Why did all the Prepare events make me spend the things I needed for the Armada event?
ACC builidable
A good 'prepare' event would have helped stock up Officer or Ship XP?!
That would have been... Ya know... Preparation.
if the 500 core event runs continuosly
Rather than 'prepare' to be fleeced... Again...
then 2 of those events will allow f2p to get enough cores to research A.C.C
^^ if they hadn't just spent all of their XPs on the events prior to today?!
well
yes they are but
should catch onto their method of luring u to spend rss
then next event require the same rss again
but already spent most of it so the packs come out for sale
Somehow meant to find 1.2m officer XP to complete two days worth of events?!
Gonna be a slow road to Armadas... Talk about killing the hype.
yea....
Strongly considering an uninstall at this point in time.
More things other than officer EXP can be spent.
And mind your language @narrow crypt .
π€¦π»ββοΈ
There was nothing about his language @abstract gate
@leaden cipher there was
Why is Highway to Hell suddenly playing in my head π€£
Ship XP... Yep also spent on Domination events... Because that's the only way to get close to hitting that target.
Sucked in.
I still missed what was wrong @shrewd totem
@narrow crypt maybe you will need something else tomorrow?
dont do every thing they dish out to you
@shrewd totem : I hope so... Something that might be attainable?! Something that I just 'prepare'd for?
@merry fulcrum should have looked closer and faster before deleted
@narrow crypt π€·ββοΈ
π
@shrewd totem what does that emoji combo mean exactly?
π€·ββοΈ
Ahh
So it splits 1 emoji into two
Ahaaaaa
Took me a good long time before I found that out
lol
So equivalent to my facedesk
XD
Still Scopely just don't learn do they?! Strong loyal customer base... Quickly getting turned off by all the petty cash grabs...
We get it, you want to make money... Just make it so the F2Ps at least have a chance though...
No need for the double down on burning your clients.
I'm off. None of the Armada events can be accomplished by my account. Later folks
Thatβs actually my problem, the cash grabs are petty
no yeti they learn
very well
all the complaining in discord
but their packs are still selling
@narrow crypt bro, mods here aren't employed by Scopely, nor do they have any influence there. So please vent out by sending your concerns to Scopely by email
already an alliance killing armadas on my server
so they learnt very well
ignore the complaints and keep making money grabs
The dβvore was such a con job just like the franklin and bb before it
Yeah, whales be whales...
That's fine...
Just let the non whales have a go as well...
just play the game without trying to race the whales or compete
armadas will be avail to all
in time
dvor is one yr until events are released to speed up bp gain
armadas atm seems like 2 days
for f2p
Yeah, just sucks that they built all the hype and then... Fizzle
Now does everyone have to have armada things or just the person who starts it?
Coming soon -> Prepare -> Retrieving
Yeah, not many FTP have 1.2m officer XP lying around...
at the moment doesnt seem like everyone needs the ACC
someone starts the armadas atk
and ppl join it
Why anyone would expect anything else as another cash grab, do people never lern
True @split sequoia
from the gc chat i saw on my server
Someone opened it in my alliance and I can join
I have a couple spenders in the alliance, should be fine
Well that's something at least!!
the directives gonna be heavy on those ppl then
batman can ask your alliance how many directives to start 1 armada?
(of course why isn't there an ACC starter pack... Instead of a Full bore ACC Big boy pack?)
likely the building requires cores to upgrade
specific rss add ons
like the dvor
bb
franklin
The directives in the alliance store have a 7 day cool down too.
Wow
So even if you get 1000 cores for 2 day research... You need cores to build ACC too?
I guess you might be able to earn more whilst Research happens.
These events better stick around for at least 3 weeks at this rate
@narrow crypt first 9 levels dont' require any
Any updates on what is new in the daily missions?
I dont think new dailies added @sweet sapphire
When the system will back?
Server? @agile wyvern
@delicate moth where can if find info about Armadas? I don't completely understand how I can play roll.
Be lvl 23, unlock armada command center, find systems with armada missions
Server
You bought the directives ... what we need for the the research is the Armada Tactical Cores ... and I have no clue where to get them from
Same problem here
What do you need Armada Directives for?
To actually form armadas
Is it so that the complete goddamm thing start with next event and it couldn't work at the moment?
Level up officers
Will have a look and try
It is under events icon
i have nothing of that
I assume it comes with the next event refresh in around 1h (on my server)
Events are there or will be soon to get you the items you need to start with Armadas.
If your allies unlock the building faster through a purchase, you'll be able to assist them on Armadas they start though!
I cant see nothing in store to purchase
update the game first
That is not correct. The only way to get cores is by leveling up officers. No other way unless I spend 100.00 bucks. Not going to happen. This in my opinion is garbage
Play store update available?
yes
Thx π
any one already knows what drops from the uncommon armada packs?
@velvet dawn will try when I have enough tokens
This is the absolute worst I have seen to date.
@peak cave don't forget the time that the update was so shitty that they canceled it.
That I can live with. However this is pathetically executed.
you only need 65 members for the event?
1000 core, what a joke and who's crazy to buy 104 euro?
The one in the server where I am writing it in GC
please make sure there is either a limited time officier event or a ship one, since a lot of people will be going that route after the release
@scarlet turtle Mind your language please.
@languid wigeon you can earn from ally store too
But you need to kill some NPC bases first
Bla bla blaπππ
Apparently I got taken off of server lol so I'll say it again armadas is absolutely bs
Ahhh so you are solving problems, you delete it π€£π€£π€£π
so how do we get armada cores without paying if we cant even join armadas lol?
@prisma dove so it isπππ
You dont you extend hand into pocket retrieve wallet open wallet and type in credit card number
@shrewd totemwhich npc bases???
πππi will take a look thx
but i thought u cant attack those bases without an armada?
assuming that ur talking about those outposts. u cant attack them if u dont have the building. If u want to solo it
Is there any way to know where other alliances start armada ??
@shrewd totem i have only the 3 Armadactargets in Doska no Npc Base ??
@scarlet turtle that is what I am calling NPC base
Sorry
Armada targets are too long to type
Muhaha and how shall i atack that without a controllcenter in the alliance??
@scarlet turtle no one got within your alliance?
No
Then wait patiently for events
Great, another paywall
@inner stirrup It's not.
so much hype just to be disappointed
shouldn't it be one longer normal and one shorter limited like always?
@devout talon it is random
That is the scopley way, make it sound oh here is this great new feature and it's just BS
And while were at it how much can they gouge the players......
only 1 needs to buy a pack but again if ur in a full alliance this is a joke
In my alliance ?
only the 1 with the building can start
then you can join him, defeat stations, earn tokens, buy
tactical cores and build your own acc
its not as simple as that
when ur in a 70+ alliance
doing this behind a paywall is disgusting to do
but cant say im surprised though its scopley after all
whats the difference between a 40er ally and 70+?
u serious?
i dont see a problem with it.
or dont you communicate in your ally and all are greedy?
Whos surprised that the prepare for the Armadas events would ask you to spend the resources you need to compete in Armadas. I have not got enough officer xp or ship xp left after spending them on the last couple of days events. Thanks Scopely.......
Looks like you weren't prepared enough π€
So it'll take 5 days of gaining power to start building the ACC?
i dont have enoug htoo, but we got some buyers, so i just wait some houers till they come online and we raid together some bases
and btw. we are 70 members in our ally
@abstract gate Youre right I should have been prepared for the scopely drain you to get you to pay to play. π
@potent hound 5 days for under lvl 28, 2 days for lvl 28+ or even less if you do armadas with your buyers in your armada
@velvet dawn assuming you didnt blow all your officer xp upgrading scotty and uhura in the prepare event.
@velvet dawn, it says to participate I need the ACC, so how with buyer's in my armada?
i am in the same boat, i got enough xp to do 1 event and i need 5 -.-
it was written that to start the armada you need the building, but not to join it
I can't use building or research upgrades to gain power. How wack.
@velvet dawn you can do it in 2 days at level 28 but it will cost you a few hundred k more xp.
!@#$% armada, what a joke
if every one needs the building, i am f***ed, then i have to wait weeks till i can join an armada
only one needs the building to start an armada, the rest can simply join in
@low berry, #πqna-armadas.
You need to kill npc bases first but to kill them you need a building that you cant build π
Scopely totally went out of thier way this time on a Super Suckfest that you'll have to buy is you want Armadas, was expecting this too be something new and lots of fun, but no, they just sucked the life out of the event for another of thier fast money grabs lol
In an alliance of 68 none of us cared for armadas and thought it was a joke. What we really cared about is that promised refinery event that was supposed to happen after the next mining event. That still hasnβt happened yet. π’
Then I would suggest you apply your own game and find ways around the systems bugs and blocks
can we turn off updating me EVERY FRICKING TIME my alliance forms an Armada? I associate that noise with base raid/whatever. IDGAF if they're forming an Armada when I'm offline, ya know?
random shout out .. a player of mine reported getting 25 cores from a 10min gift chest
Be careful you donβt say anything about how greedy the devs are they will block you
I doubt the devs are greedy. I suspect their managers and manipulators are.
If you donβt get the pop up banner, how are they gonna make you feel left out for not buying packs?
Let me guess to build armarda control centre you have to pay 154 dollars lmao
@outer herald no
Check #π¬-events-feedback either with that or buy waiting and doing events you can get the armada building @outer herald
Yes they are forcing you to spend your money
Cant unless you can join armarda which you cant do unless you have building?
@hardy roost they dont force you to anything
@outer herald you can join without building
@outer herald it's a 100 US dollars, or have a few million officer exp or 320k ship exp sitting around. @shrewd totem @twilit imp may disagree, but this game is a pay to play almost. Take forever to get the random UC unless you spend spend spend.
Ill take another look but cant see a way of getting it.
@hazy storm you can see another way to get the building in #π¬-events-feedback
@outer herald you can join your alliance's armadas
Why do you keep DM me just put your reply on here
So you can see it
The game is a scam
Any ideas how you get more amarda directives as it says 6 days ?
@plain mountain events
I have seen others pay half
Be patient and wait
SCAM SCAM SCAM
Of course it is but people love throwing money at stfc, double that price and the chumps are still drooling to spend π π
Only 500 tactical cores from 1 million officer rep... felling ripped off.
@outer herald that is what every other lvl 28+ gets
Saving my officer xp to win the event to get latinum and speedups
My opinion -- Use ship exp with lat in this solo
I think this is fantastic! After spending a π© ton of money on this game already Scopely has finally opened my eyes with its greedy predatory pay to play tactics. My personal favorite....they tell you to spend resources on events to prepare for Armadas and then the Armadas require those same resources to advance thus ensuring that you pay more if you want to play. Bravo. You just lost a paying customer for this and all future Scopely products.
@small quail : so much this.
Its not that bad just gotta wait two days to get it.
^^^
Or 5 days for lower level players. We only get 200 per day...
assuming you somehow have that much latinum, officer intel or ship xp
@dusky sphinx you can get faster when by joining your friend's armada and get item to spend in ally store to get around 2k cores
@sonic heath eaiser at lvl 28-
yeah but that means you need a whale in your alliance
Either wait for lvl 28+ to get in it 1 day or lvl 28- to get it in 4 days
assuming the event continues past the week (no way I am getting from 24-28 this week)
I asked panic the same question @sonic heath. He did say events on all week
right but I mean /after/ the week
Event is for 1 week
right, so I am basically screwed
Buy ship exp with lat?
I burned through about 2k latinum on today's alone
200 lat for 10k exp
I only have about 2k left
hmm ok will have to be very careful with latinum spending then
gonna need to build some crap ships to level
I usually max level my ships
Also you will get some lat from dailies too so should be enough
and refining
yeah, or even a few fortunates, LOL
I dont have Dvor to refine lat
I have enough for an army of envoys and fortunates
is there a map that shows where these outpost are to hit
It better be different events because most f2p will be screwed otherwise. Not all have enough xp, lat to do 5 days worth
@hollow flint it is random
So ist there a little summary what to do beside buying to participate in the event after all?
@stark vector you can get armada building from events and ally store for free
But not today cause I don't get enough of the 1000 token to researched
Correct me if I am wrong
@stark vector if someone bought it in your alliance you can get it for free in a few hours by attacking armada targets
But with events 2 days for lvl 28+,5 days for lvl 28-
We have 20-30 people but only space for 3 and whenever I joined one I wasn't fighting
@stark vector talk with alliance mates and arrange players strategically.Top ships attack first
Thx
Np βπ»
So the spawn places are different all the time? Also how long between spawns on the targets ?
can we stop with the notification every time my alliance starts an Armada? Geez.
So we wait a year to get trash content....
Canβt even notify you that your base is under attack properlyππ
@inner cave right? But I know about all 300 armadas that my alliance has formed within the last hour.
Really? 7 day cooldown??
@graceful shard by upgrading armada building you get directives
But maybe they will add more events to get that stuff?
But still
Once you hit the level
You will only be able to start one armada every 7 days?
You canβt even buy directives?
This has to be broken right?
<@&509691205798592532>
There appears to be no other way to actively generate more directives once your building is maxed. And waiting 7 days to earn 1 run seems broken. Am I missing something?
@glacial token do you remember how many tactical cores you got from the purchase ?
10k. Itβs gets your building to 19
Should be around 2-3k @meager galleon
But you need directives to start an armada
U just got 100 directives .. ...enough for 1 armada attack
Which canβt be purchased
And I can only get 1 armadas worth every 7 days
What am I missing?
This is broken
@meager galleon I am ops LvL 32....i got 5.3k Core credits from 3000 armada credits
Nice
But you can no longer start an armada now can you?
Thanks, good to know
I canβt confirm this but pretty sure there are dailyβs to come
For Armadas s
Which may have directives in them?
There has to be?
Can @twilit imp confirm
Because right now there is no way for me to start an armada for 7 days
Which seems broken right ?
@graceful shard Panic isnt on now
Armada Directives can be purchased in the Alliance store with alliance credits, and earned by building and upgrading the Armada Control Center and by completing Daily Goals. In addition, they should be available in IAPs for pay players.
We will have to wait and see on the daily income @graceful shard
Thanks for the clarification @meager galleon
Letβs keep our fingers crossed for 500 a day in dailies
i'm getting 15 a day. don't get your hopes up
@brittle horizon you have the new dailies ???
@brittle horizon is trolling
Why you say that
Dailies donβt rest for 8 more hours so he would have no way of knowing
Also I bought the most expensive chest in alliance store with the credits you get from armadas
And itβs a joke
Iβm level 32 so I have no use for common rss and even my miner takes 3hours to repair so 15 min repair speed ups
@graceful shard already forwarded
Are useless
My dailies today are giving me 15 if I complete them all. Gonna be a solid week before I can hope to get into this thing.
the 4th box gets you 10 armada directives, so that's 15..
given you can buy 100 from the alliance store each week.. 15 a day gets you 105 in 7 days - so in total, 205 a week so far
@exotic escarp got a screenshot ?
Which daily is that?
Box 4
So 5 at box 3 and 10 at box 4
Box 2 also has 5
Yep
Months waiting for armadas and seems its a pay stuff, any way to do it without spending atm?
They arnt a daily, they part of milestones ^ these rewards
His screenshot is on the dailies tab
Chests in the daily milestones @graceful shard
Like all events and new things....the rich get richer. Everyone can get it, but it takes a long time. Itβs an incentive to drop big dollars.
What is the task in your daily milestone@that gives credits
I am not seeing anything in mine
Snakke youβre being very dense π
Not a task, itβs in the chests you get
The mile stones for completing x amount of dailies that lets you open chests
Like the last mile stone that gives you a loyalty badge
Seems exp officer and ship its the only way for getting those blue pieces, not?
Perfect that is what I wanted
@abstract gate yes, unless someone else has the armadas building, then he can launch armada attacks with everyone, and you can buy the blue things from alliance store
Nice, thanks u mate
The rub is that you appear to only earn enough tokens to start 1 armada every 5 days
So make them count
Tbh, they need to add something else to destroying those stations, like uncommons for everyone in the attack
Or, rss, recruit tokens, etc
Agree, the rewards are not worth the time involved. Maybe the chests in the alliance store will be.
And what you can buy for the credits in the alliance store is hot garbage
Ah well there goes that hope. Lol
The uc one gives ship parts, which I will love to get my hands on, along with repair speed ups
At level 32 it gives 15 min speed ups
So, it's not all bad for free to plays
Which are more than useless
As even my miner is a 3 hour repair
Hopefully the scaling is just off
But everything else about it is bad, wish they had more involved, though we have yet to see these "tournaments"
Idk how they'll differ from leaderboards
Also there is no uncommon in the box that says uncommon
Lol, so months and months of anticipation for armadas, and itβs a flop basically.
Maybe it's just like the free chests, you can get great pulls from them, or crap
Most over hyped, least well thought out event in STFC history
Is there a calendar for this? Is there gonna be alliance/solo boqtds?
A lot of the disappointment around armadas could have been avoided if there had been some details of how it was going to work and what rss you'd need to succeed prior to the launch. Then running domination events leading up to the launch, draining us of xp needed for armadas events was uncool.
Tbh yes, the event to get tactical cores is kinda crap, but you only need one player pay for some packs and build the things, and all other alliance members can join... I joined 4 armadas and I already have enough tactical cores to start the required research. For now yes, at the end of the day the things you get in the armada pack could be better... hopefully they'll adjust them
Why do alliance members at level 20 have the Armadas event?
No... the more the better, otherwise there is too much competition to get into a 2-4 ship armada
Only the strongest ships get picked to fight so... better to have a few armadas going at once if you have an active alliance
competittion not a problem our alliance is pretty chill
Am I misunderstanding this or is it saying for each armada you launch you'll get 1 point? The armadas that take 15 minutes to complete. To get the lowest tier would take you 30 hours, and it's a 24 hour event, and appears to be solo rather than alliance...
Rewards though... mmmm... yes nice ship parts but they could put some uncommon materials in there really
@alpine yoke I think you spend more than one directive to create an armada. Didn't try myself yet though as I am still researching (f2p)
Hm ok
No it gives you 100 points for each armada launched
ok so it's a typo
Well it's right, it just costs like 100 directives or so to launch an armada
Level dependent I guess
You need 100 directives to launch an armada
...
Never seen a game with so many different currencies in my life π€£
Oh, you get 100 when you buy it for 250 alliance credits. I thought you got one, was about to start flipping tables
Ok never mind me then π
For now though, I'd rather buy shields and relocation tokens than armada directives really
Seem to be a bit overpriced.
Someone in my alliance got alliance credits off a chest drop, 500 or so. So they may be farmable now. I couldn't get any off separatist elites though
Scopely, your new armadas content is hollow, shallow, empty and dissppointingπ
@hushed hornet try second galaxy, they have 6 different currencies
I hate to bag on their brand new thing, but...it really doesn't seem all that fun
Never thought I'd say this, but I miss mining
Well the concept is cool, I just hope they tweak it a bit, especially the rewards
@tame pebble games mostly start out with small number of currencies.....as players hoard them they need to make new ones to start the new lot of grind...give SG enough time the same thing will happen there
What level are you?
The armada targets are uncommon, not the chest contents π¬
lol
Call to arms starts tomorrow
hurray π
This isnβt really a proper event they just launched the system/framework for other things going forward
This update is stupid since alliances like Jess bully others because they are more powerful
@alpine yoke bonus refinery with call to arms
can they just give us the bonus refinery without the rest of it? π
yeah, mining and station raiding @mint adder . I got all excited when I saw it announced cause I confused it with Act of War
@bold girder refinery 2: uncommon boogaloo
act of war is the good faction one right?
I love that one. could do without it for a few weeks though. finally working on rom for the 3 faction lock
I'm 30 bp away from my bortas so could really use anything that gives me more klingon credits
dont get me wrong id still be good with the event. but would be sad to do only 1/3
i would not mind that. got millions stockpiled from last month long mining event
Nice base, ship, and outpost location...ship is basically untargetable except for a few small pixels LOL
Screenshot (9 ΠΎΠΊΡ. 2019 Π³. 1:18:43)
Any plans to bring out more armada targets? Found 1 after searching 14 systems
Total garbage as per usual
Just got off work. So I have the armada control center. How do I find/ start an armada?
Look in lvl 20+ systems, you have to get the update for armadas to work, I had to do it manually through play store
In honor of Armadas and having our alliances used as privateers on behalf of the various factions, our alliance has gone full pirate.
do the station respawn after they are killed?
Great job pisssing off your mid/lower player base..... another F..ing clusterfuk
i just spent officer xp and ship xp and got nothing
they only want rich players on this game
fk the rest of us
Is it me... or are armadas really dumb?
not just you
I just want the push notifications for when an armada is formed to stop!
Armadas are absolute, 100%, Grade A Garbage.
And it really sucks that strongest alliance on our server declared all armada targets theirs and are killing anyone else that tryβs
π
What I wanna know is where you get the credits from to research and build the amarda building.
Events @zinc kindle
And raiding armada targets, so another member with the armada control already built
So how did they build it?
I see no events with amarda credits?
Chicken or the egg?
Store aka real money
Absolute tossers!
Another money grab
He I was thinking βfinally a mission we can all get in on!β
Once someone in your alliance has it you can easily get it though by participating in those armadas
Events also give the required stuff but can't get all in one day
Yes but how does the first one get it, though purchases?
The first ones that got it today, yes purchase with real money
So one of our alliance members has to outlay cash and then we all can piggy back off them?
Yep
Okay cheers
Or one hast to unlock it for free via tue events that are happening right now and probably over the next couple of days, so can be done for free in like 2 days I think
Okay thanks
You either do the events to get the credits or pay to get it ASAP
Or have someone else pay for it, and get it yourself
Even then there's not enough targets for a active server
The cool down on the armada directives is 6 days?!? It takes 100 just to start one.
inflated units , could've just used a token for each go
not like the launch will use other amounts
not like launching armada against weaker outpost will cost less directives
yeah almost no one is touching the 21s everyone is fighting over the 25-30s
This seems like the swarms all over again. The mechanism for the Armada is very exclusionary.
El evento no tiene gracia... Solo los mΓ‘s fuertes de la alianza pueden ganar puntos para hacer los eventos... AsΓ es imposible de lograr algo...
So if I launch 2 armadas I get 3 Uncommon Ore. If I launch 2 more I get 2 more Uncommon Ore??
So, after a few of my team bought and upgraded, we got into groups and ran around killing armada
Within 1 hour i was making my own research and armada without buying the pack. Once i.got upgraded, i took a few folks and helped them get theirs, etc. 5 hours in, and most of my alliance can summon armada.
This is still incredibly disappointing event. The hype was crap...really, 10+ months for this? Rewards vs time spent (roughly 20 mins from search, warp, wait and kill) is terrible.
We would be better off if armadas were still coming
@slim aurora posted some feedback in events feed back think most people would agree with it, compared PokΓ©mon go raiding to this event, which are similar, except raiding Is a lot more fun
This is rough on people who don't want to or don't know how to coordinate.
Sorry if itβs already been asked, if Iβm the leader but join with a really small ship, so long as my ship stays in the circle I donβt have to be one of the ones that hits it right? Just queued? Or will that cause the hit to cancel?
@twilit imp <@&509691205798592532> I would like to say that after waiting all this time is not very impressive. Regular base raiding is much better. You actually get resources that we can use in the game. You have to waited all that time and just get armada credits, not what I was expecting.. I was hoping we can get some uncommon gas, crystal or ore, even some rare but we get armadas credits. I was hoping for something much better.
Maybe Armada credits will be used to buy 4* materials?
The armadas credit can be used in the alliance store to purchase those two pacs in the store, one of witch looks like uncommon materials @tawny coyote
@twilit imp <@&509691205798592532> i thought we were@meant to get armadas directives from the dailies ? I donβt see them as any of the daily rewards??
@inner cave chests in daily milestones
Yeah I looked through all of them and donβt see it
What OPS are you?
@inner cave you should be lvl 23+
I see it now second last chest on the milestone one @shrewd totem
But only 10. Canβt even start an armadas with that
@inner cave then it is lvl dependant.I am ops 27
More ways to get directives can be added soon
Im ops 28
You only looked to the last chest.Please look at the chest which gives 4h shield
I think I did get another 5 directives from another chest. But that only makes 20 a day.
Iβve done the firsts 3 chests so canβt see what was in them
Will look again tomorrow.
yeah make sure you do big outposts though
lvl 30 needs atleast 1800 creds for 3225 cores
You get 20 at lvl 28
so 7200 cred base with a 4 ship armada can carry 3 players into getting their own ACC
A 15 and 5. Talked to another 28 in my alliance
Cost of creating an armadas is 100 ??
100 directives
and if you don't get the kill most likely there are 2 or 3 other alliances already on countdown to finish
so don't bite off more then you can chew
Ouch. Iβve heard 2-3 times the power of the armadas is needed to defeat it
Noo
no
Half is enough
And what ships you have
Nice to know
guessing more if only 2 ships
payflower sucks btw
my cent 100k lower does 50% more damage then payflower
No it doesnt
payflower just has a higher shield cap
Because Cent is T2 and Mf is T1 faction ship
my kumari does more damage then the payflower
and its 370k payflower was 500k
it has no firepower still
thought they were going to fix that this update?
Not gonna argue.Not this update,but soon
and when will epic spock not take a 2 round delay to replenish shield?
really needed in armadas
π€·ββοΈ
π
On our server we take down a 5m boss with just over 2m power in a 4 ship amarda.
So the uncommon armada pack in alliance store has no uncommons? Is it dependent on acc lvl or just a waste of 10k creds?
Any <@&509691205798592532> or <@&509690795536941056> care to weigh in on this? It's a bs reward if there's no uc in there tbh
Already forwarded
Ship xp, officer xp 3* commons and 3* ship parts...lvl34 with lvl23 acc...thats utter crap
Dont buy it?
what else are we suppose to use our creds for with 1 week and 24 hour cool downs
what is the point of armadas then?
these are questions you need to steam roll right into scopley with and we will cheer you on from the back
@dapper drum will ask when Pani or Gala is on
if I was in their shoes I would take an extended vacation about now
find someplace far away from any source of internet
After all the hype we expected...more
π
scopely always throwing them under the bus π
And "don't buy it" is a cop out and you know it...if we ain't buying it why are we bothering at all with armadas? Shamefully executed rollout...again
need a real store for armada creds only where you can trade for whatever you want
like with first fractured empire
@dapper drum Hmm.Good idea
Why is there not a Latinim Mining Officer as there Officer for Gas Ore Crystal Parsteel Tritanium Dillithium Augment. Did someone forget about that as it could and should be added considering your refine ratios increases hugely when you update the Ferengi Ship and rich mines are pretty are to find
π€·ββοΈ
Are the locations random or does every server have the same armadas at the same time?
@languid cove Random
Random as they despawn when defeated and a new one presumably pops up elsewhere
Maybe?
Guess work but seems logical
nice armadas update, thanks.
This will last more then one day !
??
If so where I can get those 1000 armada credits to start
You can't
Hahahaha mhm yyyyy hahahaha so itβs impossible to do ?
My Armadas Review - what you think?
Awesome review @meager galleon
Add your voice to comment section if possibleπ more constructive feedback with support the more chance things hopefully get changed
A bit untrue information
@meager galleon I bought two packages and was enough to level center to 28lvl of course I took the alliance store pack also with core,
Okay, will edit - was second hand information on that one
10k cores in the pack I bought...now it's 35k wtf is that about? @meager galleon
Don't have a ss of original pack but here's what I woke to this morning...another slap in the face from scopely
Donβt know, we have no info on Packs that go on sale
That might be where my old Info came from about 4-5 Packs being needed to get to a high lvl
3 packs needed to get it to lvl30
They probably upped it to 35K cores after
Iβve just changed the wording to multiple packs π
Good review btw π
Utter bs...f@#k scopely
Agree with the changed needed
So goddammed tired of their bait and switch antics
@meager galleon nice review and I agree.
I wonder how much Scopley hopes we will spend per month on this game. I do not begrudge them the right to make money for their work. It is a free game, so they need to recover costs and make a reasonable profit. However, I have never seen a game where people with liberal credit cards can gain such an outsized advantage. I can see people getting cool ships, base bling, etc. It should still be possible for a minimal paying grinder to excel. This game is great and fun, but this kind of thing makes me think about quitting all the time.
@meager galleon you know what is the most missing function?? BUTTON START
πππ
Not to have to wait 15 long minutes
But itβs a feature to die in time of waiting π
Invite only needs to be an option, too many vultures that conveniently forget how to read
Something similar on my first portion was why not allow custom timer to be set
And invite only was there too
"Oh sorry had gc selected didn't see your message "...gtfo greedy sods
And yeah a start now option too
15mins idling is excruciatingly boring which doesn't help the overall feeling of time vs reward
Hahaha they are playing dumb
My alliance kick finger is already itchy and it's not even been a full day yet
@meager galleon no doubt you saw @loud solar polls?
Nope
where?
@abstract gate first pack is still 10k Cores
You can skip first pack or you get enough cores from alliance rewards and event rewards and build the ACC.
I didnβt buy the pack, obtained enough to build and get my ACC to 20. Somewhere in between that my pack changed to the 35K one. @mental phoenix @abstract gate
Craptastic...
How do we get more Armada directives to launch Armadas?
Lvl?
Master is mine Iβm lvl 30
Dunno who had the premium
So thatβs why core are different
First pack gives 10k, guessing subsequent purchases give you 35k. Or if youβve won enough cores to do the research and build the control centre you move straight to the 35k pack. Just a guess
so am i the only one that got trash loot from the new armada loot chest/token chest?
Lvl34 for reference, first pack 10k, second 35k same goddammed price...that's some bs right there
i only have 1 offer for 99.99 and it has so much 2* stuff its ridiculous, im level 30
no directives\
and you can buy 100 inalliance store, only every 7 days! it takes 100 for 1 battle!
Of course. You donβt think they added this new content so people could actually use it do you? ππ
i got the research and building to level 17 without buying anything, but cant start battles for the guys who need to earn the cores too
Just enough given to give you a taste and then drive you to the cash-money store to continue
If I start an armada and bring all 3 of my ships and no one else shows up will all 3 ships of mine be in the fight
Only one ship per player allowed
Ty
@modest oyster how were you able to get enough cores? Thus far I got really nothing. At this rate it will take me about 2 weeks. :(
@sweet sapphire join a payers armada earn credits buy cores
Unlock8ng it is actually very quick for a savvy f2p
Well, that isn't happening for me. So I am SOL. :(
@abstract gate Please tell me how as I am unable to join the armada we have had thus far.
This event has soured the game for me.
I don't have the money to invest and we don't have enough people who have purchased the packs.
In order to get a spot the your alliance needs to be organised and everyone has to cooperate...gl with that
we had to make armada rules, were having higher level players bumping off the smaller guys, on smaller targets
now the one who starts it decides which ones to be in it
or be suspended or kicked
So wasn't there supposed to be a call to arms event today
bad enough other alliances will destroy you so they can have it
only 2 actually, most are being polite
Typical armada run so far...
π
Is there a list of upcomming events? Sure I saw a screenshot showing what events are coming soon but I can't find where it is. thx
Too bad only a limited number of people can participate. Bad launch in my opinion. oh well. π¦
This 15 min waiting killed it totally
Bonus refinery is live
I have not got any rewards for the mining event yet. Anyone else have this issue. I have restarted the game already.
@twilit imp Is there an issues with the mining event. I have not got any of the rewards yet.
Same here @fresh bramble
OK so not just me another bug
Me too
Same no rewards rewarded πππ
wtf?!? Finished all milestones on Fed & Kling Reputation event no rewards.....
@twilit imp rewards seem to be completely bugged,
No one recieving rewards for events
just got my mining rewards after a 3rd restart. May be working now if you restart
@fresh bramble I go try now thankyou πππ
oh restarted only twice....
So another xp event for cores. Well that me screwed as have none left now from the event from other day
@fresh bramble it worked thankyou πππ
@abstract gate restart game πππ
@swift walrus O7
up to my 6th restart now, no event reward.....omfg
Works now on 150
@meager galleon thank you for resolving this so quickly πππππ
Wasnβt me, just managed to get the info to correct people π
still love ya π
K so the armada notifications need to stop. Really obnoxious when you have an Apple Watch
Any chance you guys can fix no rewards for server 194?
I think the rewards should come through on next mile stone @dreamy tide
darn I completed all milestones
Actually I just restarted
And got mine pop up
Do a full restart and you should get them all
If you are sure you didnβt get rewards at any point or on any hard restart itβs probably worth it. But Iβd give it another hour or so maybe?
yeah GC now starting to show others with same problem.....
Anyone see this message?
ok weird, completing milestone on another event made reputations events give reward.
But you got everything now :)?
yup, all good! Applied your milestone idea to another event.
Sorry if this was asked already, but will purchasing the Armada Tactical Cores pack for 675 uncommon armada credit give me enough cores to start research? Basically, I am wondering how many cores are in there.
Yes
@sweet sapphire 2k for lvl 27
After many weird things happening in my head I have concluded that every time someone upgrades the ACC it gives 25 cores to the alliance. It's either that or buying those packs from alliance store. But it should be building.
Coz it happens a lot
Yes Iβm pretty sure youβre correct Havana Uh Na Na
ππππ I hate and love that song π€£π€£π€£
And I'm already listening to it xD Senorita is next π€£π€£
Mad night xD
Can't get a Solid response. Everyone who buys the pack instantly upgrades and I can't put a finger on it... Is it buying packs in alliance store or upgrading ACC.... Ugh... Need to stop thinking at this hour. Doesn't work.
It's packs in alliance store
My thoughts exactly.. Maybe... I think...
@abstract gate Look at the pack, that will tell you what it gives your alliance.
@vapid hill no no, not the cache ones. The ones you buy for these new green tokens
The pack will tell you what the pack gives the alliance.
I am not talking about packs for real money. And those packs in alliance store show nothing of the sort.
In the alliance store. That's more specific to the question, thanks
IN that case ,the packs in the alliance store aren't giving the alliance anything.
@abstract gate those gifts are from buying core pack from ally store
LOl. Well, ok, that's where they're from.
After I bought one,someone said thanks for gift that is how I understand it
Well since we can't view what's in the packs before we buy a pack....which is unnecessary since there could be a 'view' button.....
@vapid hill agree
@shrewd totem negative, those uncommon core packs also give 25 cores, not just tactical
Packs bought with $$?
Nooo maaan both of those packs in alliance store. Not just one
Yeah, I'm stalking my alliance for an hour now xD some bought Tactical Core some Uncommon Core pack from alliance store.
All of them give 25 to Alliance
Which is a great incentive to help out all the mates there to get their dailies done
TheBmates? @abstract gate
the lag since armadas is painful
Go SLEEP
NO, Sleep is the enemy of coffee, and I stand with my coffee!!!
lol
@meager galleon black tea
Oh ooooh π€£π€£π€£
Does anyone have a screenshot of what the uncommon pack in alliance tab for lvl 27 include?
@viral pawn
Thank you @shrewd totem , so itβs not worth it right π€
dont forget the cores
CORES, yes cores, thank you @tame pebble
Looks pretty low, I donβt know, doesnβt seem worth it Iβm my opinion.
@viral pawn there is a chance to get around 10 unc
But it is very rare I would say.Only seen in 1 player
I'm killing myself to get 2 unc from events and ppl don't want to gamble a bit. What else is there to buy with those credits?
Hmmm, if uncommons were guaranteed then I would be all over it, lol
Not worth it at all.
"I'm sorry to hear those things have no value to you."
Puuuuhhhlease. They have no value to anyone. I really don't think the devs have ever played the game they sometimes work on.
@viral pawn it's random
That is all I need at my lvl 3 uncommon and rare. But the refinery even after upgrade and upgrades give the same lousy result. Plus donβt bother buy the prime refinery pack, I did and it was the biggest waisted of money. Did not see any improvement. When the game ask player for in my case about 500 rare of each kind to do ships research and base station upgrade, you just star think if they ever want player to stay for the long run or just give up.
No guarantee on common, or uncommons
We will have a great game
Given the 100 directive cost to start an armada, a message should be added when you are starting an armada allowing you to cancel if another alliance slipped in before you. Just had another one happen. The other alliance had a 10 sec lead and we wasted the 100 directives.
Please add a cancel option to armadas that gives you back the directives.
Ah a mining event with bonus Refinery and no leaderboard. Awesome
@cloud grail rss raiding plus mining lb are together in solo lb
Dude I'm happy there is no sleep deprivation event. No four day leaderboard. It's a good thing
A level bracket, with, for instance, only top 5 ranks getting prizes. That's not doing it right.
The Dilithium Event part suck because inkynthe lead ship gets the benefits from it.
Who thought this thing out?
How are the armada credits distributed after winning
@potent yarrow divided the ammnt awarded, by the ammnt of players
Thatβs what i thought initially too. But as we went on. I noticed Out of 857 I got 107 and there was only 4 of us. Mind you I was the weakest ship at 287k
Hmmmm, so it's distributed by power of ships, what were the power of the other ships?
Let me check.
412k 430k and 694k
What I havenβt checked is the ones Iβve started. Does being a leader give you more or is it just purely power based.
Last one I did I got 125 out of 435 and there were three of us. A 425k 227k and me at 285k. Itβs not damage dealt because I checked the log and saw that I did the most damage in the two rounds.
the reward is divided among the participants based on the percentage of total power they supplied to the attack.
that's the conclusion we came to. did a litte math
Yep, with the touch estimate, it was close, didn't seem fully on, but I didnt get all the numbers
"rough" not touch
it's very close, there's probably either a randomizer in there, or a base amount given to everyone then what's left over is split.
Yep
wasn't motivated enough to do calculus to figure it out, just got as close as we could.
Thanks guys!!!
You guys are right. I did the rough math on my last one. The percentage rate for both how much I got and how much power I put in matched.
Has anyone tried participating in an armadas attack below level 23? Will the game let you?
I'm below level 23 and the game seems to let me queue for an attack, but I my alliance always has stronger ships show up so I don't know what would happen if I was one of the 3 ships selected to attack.
Got $copley'd
What's wrong?
Can we turn off the alerts for every damn armada being formed?
Devs are working on it @native idol
The number we get is ridiculous
Soon
soon is demonstrated to mean 11 months π
Soon (1 hour to 10 years)
Good to know. That was the dumbest thing theyβve... wait they just fβed up the last event update...
I think one of the official responses are "Don't worry, I'll share your experience with our team to serve as feedback and to have it reviewed. However, I can't guarantee immediate changes but rest assured that this will be reviewed"
Not sure how many times I have seen that or something similar and nothing has been done about it.
That event is more frustrating than anything else π notification every 5 min, 15 players moving to a target for one spot .... never feel so much like a teacher ^^
Leader should be able to choose who take part in their armada raid or at least kick players who werent planned to join it
I'm already implementing 8hr "suspensions" to alliance members that repeatedly crash my runs.
we have had to remove people too
Not an ideal solution though especially not in the middle of a war
hopefully this content will improve team communication over time
We need the option to make runs private or public
armada leader needs ability to sort priority of participents
If I'm running a 5mil target then sure public is fine I want the big boys in but for a 1.5mil target I want to be able to give my smaller members a leg up
You do get uncommon from event chest π
its the mid level ones we have trouble with, especially quiet ones
@small lichen yes but low chance
@modest rivet agreed.
I've got the strongest ship in our alliance, I could just rock up to all of them steal a spot and never spend a directive...but I'm not a thundering dickbag
@shrewd totem see that ss up there? Told ya they are worth it π€£
Second "uncommon" box was better for me...still crap but I'm grading on a curve
Hell knowing my luck It'll be more like 1/1190 xD but they do happen π
Wohooo
Exactly! Wohooo and more than 10 ππ
First pull was all just crap I'd normally use lat for...utter junk at lvl34
@abstract gate exactly. Big ship have priority so we need a good team work and communicating ^^
That event is not good for that at all ... we had to make our own rules to smooth things over and made is pain less ( for me )
I'll warn em twice if they crash my run, third time is kick and 8hrs to reconsider their dickishness
Team leader should be introduced who then can manage the armada.
Same here. As burn said we already had to give time out to 2 players.
The worse are the casual and silent players π they dont follow alli chat so crash runs without understanding why it s a big NO
Rn we are trying to help as many f2p to unlock acc as we can most of the crashers are p2p's with acc unlocked
@abstract gate absurdly enough, same situation in my alliance
As it stands now it's just another nail in the f2p coffin
We start spreading ACC like a virus too. 1 Player from a friendly alli came help 2 of us who helped 2 others ....
By now with the gifts everyone in ours should have enough to build it and upgrade it to ten without even having join an armada
That's our aim too
And all that without any pack bought πππ
A few of us bought a pack or two myself included now some of those are trying to spread the wealth myself again included
teamwork and friendship is always the best way
There was one pack bought by a friend in another alliance. It was enough to spread armada in 4 friendly alliance. Some others probably took one, but as far as I know no one in mine even if we have some spenders ( myself included )
Hopefully before the end of the week even the more casual of our f2p will have armada π
Hope you Will manage it too @abstract gate but you seems on the good way ;-) πͺ
How many xp officer or ships do you think we have? Billions? Ffs at least give us a chance to do it with mining or hostiles farming
You can also get help from other. I got my building done today, did a kill with a friend 4 level lower to boost him.
He can get credits and buy the core pack in the alliance store
If they make the uncommon 3* Iβll buy it
526k latinum. Mate, you had enough. Now go and buy a boat and go fishing. π€£
Donβt know why they put those there
Nobody does... But if they ever make it possible to convert them to g3 as we requested... Man oh man it will be a good day
I actually do all the survey feedback just to tell them stop putting 2* mats in the packs
It's called bloat...on a casual scan through it looks like you're getting a lot of stuff, closer inspection reveals you're being conned...oh scopely you devious rascals
De ja vu?
π€£
Just for continuity's sake
If I accidentally launch an armada with one of my Envoys, then send a Kumari to the armada location, should the attack use my Kumari (the stronger ship?)
Yes
I didn't. It used my Envoy. I didn't actually "join" the armada with my Kumari though
Ah, thats because you started it with your envoy
sorry i didn;t see the "if i launch" part
If I moved my Envoy out of the bubble (and had joined with a stronger ship) what would have happened?
You can join with multiple ships only the strongest will fight
Not sure if this is the correct forum to posse this question... But I was wondering why Latinum is not including in the Mega Mining Event?
Coz it's too easy to do. π€£
Especially for free to plays @abstract gate
I'm f2p and still do it in like few hours xD
