This Refinery event is even worse than last time ... I did all 3 150k pulls and got less than usual 12k ...

My score does not count in ally score. Have 6m + points butvally score has like 3m+. ???? Call to arms event btw
Hmm think an ally member is losing rss.
shrewd totem
Probably
stone marlin
Yeah but please a check because i did not see score go down that much in that period.
cedar echo
Under zero scores are not visible in alliance contributions. Which is a shame because then we could see who is under attack.
granite zenith
so correct me if I'm wrong... but is that the first time that the Alliance event was in 8 hrs shifts and the solo event went 24hr? Isn't it usually the other way around?
cloud grail
Nope call to arms has been this way... It's okay. Would be great even if our server had actual players to loot
violet anchor
Wasn’t call to arms solo top 25?
abstract gate
Originally yeah...was nice in my bracket I could find an abandoned base in lvl1 system empty it's generators and hit top 15 for minimal cost
Wouldn't work now, bases got expensive to break and the number of people in my bracket has tripled since then
cloud grail
We got no one to raid lmao, call to arms for me is still a mine as fast as you can gig
violet anchor
@abstract gate I just recently upgraded to lvl30.. assumed it was still top25 but just top5 now. 😔
sour plaza
Server 196? You guys must be an empty server
You need to move to a at least a double digit server number maybe
cloud grail
@sour plaza we have been begging for a merge since March. We had about 200 daily players then, today I estimate about 60 daily players left.
sour plaza
😱
shrewd totem
You guys should join our server 193

Must be strange being able to find a node though...
abstract gate
I ended up ranked 44th for alliance call to arms. I'm a one man alliance. And we are a pretty active server. Ugh.
shrewd totem
Which server you on? @abstract gate
abstract gate
I can't recall. I want to say 34 but I'm probably making that up
shrewd totem
If you are in US then 34 is possible
abstract gate
Yeah it is 34 I just checked
sour plaza
I’m on eu 142 I think, there are a good population of 23+ but the 2 star systems are virtually empty
That’s not a good sign
shrewd totem
In most of the servers there isnt that much 2g miners
Because new players are in new servers
sour plaza
They opened our server once already to new players
The do repopulate existing servers, I’m pretty sure the new people don’t get their own servers
shrewd totem
There is at least 3 new servers in APAC(where top player is lvl23-26),not sure about Eu or Us
abstract gate
They merged us with another server not very long ago. They were a whiney bunch
I dont think many of them are still around
flat slate
Is there a premium officer recruit event or should I spend the tokens
meager galleon
I pretty much answered you in Galaxy chat 🙂
rough frost
Hi 😊 quick question, and my apologies if someone answer already but couldn't find it and I have a doubt about the event :
If someone you raid get kicked by his alliance after the raid, are the point still lost for them ?
abstract gate
Yes
And that kicked person will not get any alliance event rewards even if he rejoin
rough frost
Thanks, I remember there were some bug the first time we had that event, so wasn't sure. The Alli I raid pester me to have the name of my dessert lol
shrewd totem
@rough frost if you raid someone and he gets kicked from alliance suddenly,that alliance wont lose points(except the ones before kick)
rough frost
Raid is over, so no worry about that. Just wanted to be sure of the effect of a kick after it .... You know scopely surprise effect 😬
shrewd totem
😂
blazing stag
any ideas which event will be start today?
Swarm-Sunday, Mining-Monday, T... -Tuesday? 😄
meager galleon
Going (guessing here) off bonus refinery is there won’t be a new one, probably just another day of Call to Arms
But I could be wrong (we don’t know)

@keen ledge seems legit 😉
rocky sequoia
Please retire call to arms. Kthxbye
Also what's the schedule on Aug events, every leap year or less frequently then that even?
merry fulcrum
Call to arms is good tbh, good pvp event, however it reminds people to shield 😔, bonus refinery is awesome though!
rocky sequoia
I don't think the two are connected though are they? And cta would maybe be ok if they expanded the leaderboard and tiered it
PvP on our server is basically reserved for epic ships and above at this point. It's fun for that first thirty seconds until the level 40 with a d4 and two brels ports in and licks your butt
merry fulcrum
Call to Arms is a pvp and mining event, which causes less people to complain, there's more to do than just mining
rocky sequoia
Ie it's no longer fun
I wouldn't say it's PvP at all. The PvP is an unwanted byproduct of base raiding
nova valley
I agree with @rocky sequoia though, the leaderboard MUST be bracketed, and tightly
2 levels per bracket. and more than top 5 places. i agree with both points.
rocky sequoia
I'm in the saddest bracket of all: level 34s with no epic ships yet 😭😭😭
nova valley
it ain't cheap brother. i'm a 32 with no 32 ship yet either lol
merry fulcrum
I won't have a 32 ship 🙄
flint osprey
Might as well save those mats and credits for lvl 34
floral trail
I have the D'Vor does that count as an Epic ship?
Seeing the costs of the level 32 and 34 ships on LCARS is just depressing
merry fulcrum
@flint osprey free to play
flint osprey
Yeah I know u are I bought one $5, one $20 and one $50 monthly pack then they stopped offering me the $5 booster packs after I spent $50, now its $20 booster packs that have maybe %20 more in them vs a %400 price increase so I stopped
signal ember
We ever more see any event what give uc crystal on revards? I dont talk about one or two crystals but min 7 for finishing event
floral trail
Rewards scale for Ops level so the rewards do get better @signal ember still nothing game-winning. Usually the game gives you lots of what you already have and none of what you actually need. I have over 200 Rare Crystals but only 20 uncommon crystals. I am sure the rares will get used eventually but its just frustrating trying to get enough UC to finish stuff/upgrade ships etc.
signal ember
Devs know it sucks?

I used to stop a recall but they fixed it.

shrewd totem
@abstract gate pm him and ask how?
obtuse otter
I wouldnt tell anyone if I knew. 😎
abstract gate
I am first one to call scopely on when they push out bad event. But Call to Arms with solo leaderboard for some of us who enjoy raiding (and consider it as only real and rewarding pvp aspect) this event is really nice. Rewards for top places could be better, but still I enjoyed it, and put a lot of time in game in last 24h. And had fun. So, thanks Scopley and 👍 from me on this one.
nova valley
word @abstract gate i've enjoyed raiding. and yesterday our server experienced probably the biggest raid in our server's history. a player was raided for over 5 billion. it took HOURS.. SHOUT OUT server15!!!!
crisp jasper
Yes, as long as people don't cheat, it's actually a nice competive event. The leaderboard really should be bigger to encourage people to take part even if they can't make the top 5.
severe bridge
Ya top 5 is way too few. Also some more narrow brackets would be ideal.
dapper drum
how about limit it to bases on your planet and disabled peace shields 😈
crisp jasper
Another option would be to reduce the event down to 4h or less. That would also give more people a chance at the leaderboard.
nova valley
i think 8 hour cycles are fine. for ALL events. including BFG, and Faction hunts
crisp jasper
I'm ok with it to, but if he leaderboard is small (5 spots?!?!) then shorter cycles might be a good way to balance that
abstract gate
@obtuse otter then how?
nova valley
i think you had it right the first time. just expand the leaderboard for this event.
go down to 25th plae, and bracket it by every 2 levels
sour plaza
They also need a ranking for the people that rage quit because their base was looted during this event
crisp jasper
Isn't quitting in and of itself the ulimate reward? 🙂
sour plaza
That’s too real... need something in pixels
nova valley
lol, anyone who rage quits over a base raid, that's ULTIMATELY their fault for not shielding, NEEDS to quit and seek help. lol
and learn a lesson in responsibility, lol

abstract gate
@nova valley our server is pretty rss poor, and think there is not enough trit to pay for one t6 jelly upgrade😁 so 24h winner in my (32-39) bracket had only 320 mil points (it was me 💪💪) at the end...but it was still a lot of fun
nova valley
@abstract gate that brngs up a point i'm gonna talk about in my next podcast (catch up now at www.talkingtrekstfc.online) but yesterday, and NOW today, mega miner event, rewards are 176,000 in raw resources (total) and 9.23 MILLION in tokens. these numbers need to almost be flipped. let's scale back the token rewards. 85/15% raw to token rewards. this is how you pump rss into the economy.
latinum mining monday was BETTER... 15 mil in tokens; 16.2 mil in raw. but i think they make it go further. 25 mil raw. 5 mil tokens.
my webhook didn't wokr..... CATCH up now at http://www.talkingtrekstfc.online before we record a new show tomorrow!
teal jackal
@winged light mods are tracking and pushing it up the chain
abstract gate
Reason for so many tokens is pandering to people who do not shield but wish to have resources and feel entitled to something. If they wish to avoid some legal mess, they could easily give out all rss from packs in tokens, and all rss from events (or 85% majority) in raw materials.
One more problem is unbalanced economy and insane amount of rss needed after lvl30...be that par, trit or dil for people now in 40+ range, where our warehouses, generators and vaults serve zero to none purpose. I just dont see how devs do not see imbalanced economy (well I could guess and my guess would be that those of them who do play are at lvl26-28 and do not experience trit and par problems...)
nova valley
the devs DO see imbalancedeconomy. trust me. it's absolutely known. roundtables are underway as to how to fix it without screwing stuff up. but the point is well made.
but in MY opinion, drastically reducing the amount of tokens in the game, (at least temporarily) and increasing the rss awarded by 2x or 3x, would take GREAT strides at alleviating the issue.
winged light
all rewards should be multiply by x10
nova valley
mmmmm, can't go crazy lol
but i've been preacing 5x for weeks... 5x rewards AND pakcs.
abstract gate
I will get 100% behind 5x...even 3x, if generators do get x10, and no limit on collecting what they produce
You camt have max warehouse with max reseaech and be able to collect from generators only 40% of total for 1 building
gaunt yacht
Nope.
low berry
Ok
nova valley
Yup
low berry
It’s good to see they do everything for whales to quit 😂😂😂
low berry
Ahh it was about other stuff like forcing level 40 to kill level 43 hostiles 😂😂😂😂
dapper drum
you wanted more to spend on 😌
rapid sky
@abstract gate to be fair I'm now doing my way from 30 to 32 and I worked it out that I'll actually have enough steel just from weekly events + dailies (and I didn't even count the tokens from the refinery/swarm monday), I don't know if that math also works at 32+, also I didn't account for any generators/warehouses as they aren't required at this stage, but I also didn't account for special events
rapid sky
the key though is that I'm taking it "slow", not using speedups except when I'm building a defense platform and a solo event comes by which can easily be maxed
dapper drum
or having tokens and not using them egregiously
ashen wharf
sounds like smart people
dapper drum
ahh the people not making a house payment on a game
ashen wharf
i dont remember in any star trek series where they constantly blew up mining ships/ attacked people
might be thinking of star gate
nova valley
@ashen wharf i dont' mind tokens. hell i've relied on them too... BUT the easiest way to pump the economy full of rss is to go back to raw for awhile.
dapper drum
galactica
ashen wharf
no its not 
low berry
Tokens is another way for us@to@spend money it is great idea
ashen wharf
it just makes people spend everything they obtain
low berry
Thru tokens bases are almost empty so no way to raid resources
ashen wharf
so you save shields
dapper drum
tokens make people sloppy with shields
ashen wharf
economy would just be worse
echo dune
Beer work wife kids naps ... make people sloppy with shields
ashen wharf
and using everything on my base makes me a non target
dapper drum
and if they have that much of a life to contend with they are broke anyways
low berry
I have billions of para in tokens 😂😂😂
45m base and nothing in it 😂😂😂
Well nothing worth wasting ships on
crisp jasper
billions of par. That's like one building, right? 🙂
rustic parcel
If all tokens were removed I'd lose interest. I dont want to move up in level bc I cant kill those swarms and I have the right powered ships for my dailies.
They would need to balance w better rewards so I could upgrade ships
ashen wharf
^
that would just force eveeryone to be even more broke
and whales 1 shotting them 25's
people who want tokens taken away are just level 40's
that are noticing that their wallets are getting flimsy
crisp jasper
My solution (in addition to making the token/raw split better) would be that shielded bases should get a mining and training debuff. (or unshielded bases should get a mining/research buff) Give people a bit more and some incentive to be unshielded
nova valley
@dapper drum i disagree. tokens HAVE made a few people sloppy. but for the most part, people with raidable resources are still gonna shield. giving them more raw isn't gonna make them any more likely to shield. even riading now counts on someone slipping up.
low berry
Heheh true for now they stop spending a lot of them cause the idea devs had is just wrong 😉 good we can stay on g3 level
nova valley
for the record. i'm a level 32. lol not a whale. but ther eis a need for more rss in the economy. i didn't say take away tokens. i said rebalance them. 80/20 on rewards in raw vs tokens.
nova valley
or like someone said earlier. pu tokens in packs, but make events aw.
ashen wharf
thats forcing me to use shields that id rather use when i need them
nova valley
raw*
ashen wharf
lol
low berry
I just do not get while same power ent cost to repair 130k trit while jelly same power 1m trit
nova valley
you SHOULD have to use shields if you wanna protect your rss. the tokens allow you to be lazy
ashen wharf
good im not supposed to be playing this game 24 hours a day
nova valley
lol then throw a 24 hour shield and your problem is solved.
ashen wharf
theres this thing called work/ priorities
nova valley
slip up and get raided. and that helps the economy
crisp jasper
Tokens are just a fix for the bad vault design
nova valley
so would you rather see vaults tripled nd tokens eliminated?
rustic parcel
@nova valley I'm ok w that but still I mine tri at 9k/hr. Rewards for events are at best a few 100k. I need 7 mil to upgrade. That would take months to get assuming none is spent on ship repairs etc
nova valley
(PS i'm not suggesting thedevs are doing anything, i'm gathering ideas from people to fix the economy for the podcast)
crisp jasper
I'm not sure tripling the vault would be enough
sour plaza
What economy? The rate of rss use far outweighs the income
sour plaza
Just think how many people need to do the events for a op40 to upgrade one building
ashen wharf
tokens are great
sour plaza
And that op40 will take it all from all those people
rustic parcel
By then I have millions of par which I can't spend bc I needed those uncommon for base upgrades too
nova valley
@rustic parcel mining trit was never designed as a sustainable part of this game. it was for the early levels, and/or missions. HOWEVER, some of the whales have also commented. add a research or change the design of miners to mine rss at about 100kx their current rate. 900k/hr in your case... BUT THEN they have to do researches to increase protected at a higher rate, and raise cargo limits.
add minin rss back to the mix to help brin more backinto the game. so increase node size, moning rates, and cargo capacities, and make mining a part of the metric for upgrading. mining/raiding/events can all three now contribute to progression in the game.
rustic parcel
Got it. Starting to see what you're saying, much bigger overhaul than expected
ashen wharf
ha
sour plaza
I think you’re under the incorrect premise @nova valley ... we are playing a business model disguised as a game
nova valley
lol guys, a business model is only good as long as customers are SATISFIED and will spend.
spending is meant to be a fast track to progression, NOT the ONLY way. there ALWAYS has to be free path to progression, even if it's slower.
rustic parcel
However it doesnt fix the other basic problem that research to decrease costs of materials isnt working. So I need to redeem 3 mil worth of tri to only need to spend 2mil... leaving me flush an extra mil etc.
sour plaza
You need to first think what makes scopely the most money, then think about how to benifit the players
ashen wharf
until people finally stop falling for the "man this is gonna take a long time might as well just buy it" persona
they wont change crap
lol
nova valley
@rustic parcel working as intended. the pure research is a refund, or a rebate.
spending still will happen because people will be impatient. BUT, there needs to be a feasible slower alternative.
and yes, i suggest a MAJOR overhall to simple rss mining.
rocky sequoia
@nova valley you're wasting bits trying to convince people on here.
nova valley
it's ok. i'm getting good content. my point to scopely is that the CC's MUST be the voice of the community, and therefore, it gives us moreof a direct impact on what CAN be developed. no way to do that if we're not talking with you guys.
winged tulip
Events are often silly anyway. At lvl33 i've got to mine 180k G3 to get 7m odd parsteel in rewards, i'd rather have a day off. And a raiding leaderboard with 5 spots only is just utter facepalm.
rustic parcel
Thanks for taking the time @nova valley to take the heat on some of this. Very different response than what CS says when you msg them about the concerns
nova valley
agreed @winged tulip this has been discussed. expanding the leaderboards, and bracketing them tightly. no reason i should be competing with a level 40.
nova valley
and again, i've been pushign for 5x event rewarsd in all areas to push the economy.
@winged tulip would it be more worth it to get 50 mil steel? i believe so.
winged tulip
Some of the events which reward g3 are pretty good - swarm sunday giving rare crystal is great. The inconsistency is weird though.
ashen wharf
yep my next upgrade will be in feb
nova valley
yeah, i think that's a valid point. some rewards are awesome and others are meh
winged tulip
Tbh i can handle one day of nonstop mining, but anything past that i'm likely to skip no matter the rewards. What with having to sleep and work, i need to take and keep 2 mining nodes to complete it daily, which isn't easy, let alone fun.
nova valley
yeah @winged tulip i agree i was happy that yesterdays megaminer was 24 hours. today i'm like. f it. lol
i AM mining... but i' not gonna bust my ass to finish it. the rewards for mega miner are less than mining monday anyway. i wrote it down. lemme find it
winged tulip
Also more notice would be great - i'd set alarms last night to get my 3 bonus refines in, and now with it lasting 2 days i could have slept in.
nova valley
mega miner rewards: 9.1 mil in steel tokens. 1.3 mil in dilly tokens; 150k in rawsteel and 26k in dil. this is level 32.
ferengi monday were 15 mil in steel tokens, 15 mil raw steel, 1.2 mil in raw trit, and then 31 uncommon ore and 2 rare ore.
that's a HUGE disparity. mega miner should be jacked up in prizes big time.
@winged tulip i believe the extra day on refinery was unexpected/unintended. but with the new refinery buffs not making to the bonus rewfinery yesterday, they extended it a day so eeveryone could experience the bonus refinery WITH the buffs.
winged tulip
I find it hard to get excited about any event which just rewards raw resources - if i really needed par/trit/dil i could go raiding. It's g3 that's the bottleneck for everything, and it needs to be in event rewards to make them tempting to me.
Oh and if they extended the bonus refinery for the buffs they can also refund the 150k times 3 i spaffed on getting sweet FA before they noticed and buffed it lol
sour plaza
The way I see it, the true gate on progress is faction points, that’s the common currency of STFC that everyone is bound by
Rest can be bought directly and goes towards how fast you gain faction
nova valley
lol i doubt a refund is coming, but i agree. i was disappionted also @winged tulip but at the end of the day it WAS a bonus. and even if twas left at te previous rates, it's still more than we can get on a normal run, so i'm still happy with it.
@sour plaza faction is easy. grind.
lol but seriously, it's not as bad a bottleneck as you think. maybe listen to the podcast on faction and find some helpful hints:
sour plaza
No thanks
nova valley
well, latinum monday is good... just lopsided @winged tulip 31 ore, but no crys or gas.
well @sour plaza your choice. but hard to complain about not knowing how to do something and when offered a way to do it better, you say no.
i suppose you just want it to be handed to you? lol you love your tokens too? 😉 not being mean, but if you wanna be better. work for it.
i can gain faction at a rate of approximately 750k - 1 mil a day if you do it right.
of course it IS harder at the lwoer levels, but there are ways to do it. tricks. and tips.
sour plaza
I never said faction was hard to gain...
nova valley
..... you said EXACTLY that... lol you said it was the gate. the hardest thing to get, causeeverything else can be bought
doesn't matter though. you learn your way. it's cool.
👍
sour plaza
I also said what you buy can help with how fast you gain it
Learn how to decider the business first, then help the players
nova valley
but for the record, aside from the faction lock, you have not a single player, large or small, complaining about rep gain.... just fyi.
nova valley
bite me. 🤣
keen ledge
Mod abuse! Where's my hammer? 😉
nova valley

nova valley
copy cat. not even as good as an original
keen ledge
🤔
sour plaza
Might as well, im bored:
I am not complaining at all, it’s a statement
You grind at 1 mil a day, the fact you can do that is because you have the ships
To have the ships, you need the op levels
Get where I am going with this?
You also need officers
The way I see it, all this parsteel uc shortage is meant to gate how fast or slow you gain faction
This gets you what people wants most, those shiny ships, even if you do get the faction, you also need the credits
Again... not a complaint
merry fulcrum
👀
sour plaza
My complaint is... the devs currently has so many paywalls, I have no clue which to ask to take down first
keen ledge
My big "choke" points so far have been:
- refinery drop rate for UC (gotten a little better lately)
- construction and research also need UC which detracts from ships which help with dailies (bad cycle)
- trit (omg, so much trit needed for everything)
- difficulty getting badges to promote higher tier officers
All of them can be grinded through with time and patience, but I think we all see various "walls".
Par is apparently a big one for the 40+ crowd.
nova valley
i remember when trit was the bottleneck LMAO, it's steel now. and it's not even 40+ i'd say low/mid 30's now it's steel. itcosts me 75miil+ for a single building.
and of coruse, it's SIGNIFCANTLY worse for the 40+ crowd.
keen ledge
For me, it's still trit.
nova valley
now, 2-3 BIL per building
nova valley
yeah, not much out there. sunday and monday are good trit raiding days though, swarm sunday lol
keen ledge
Yep. I love Swarm Sunday for just that reason. LOL
jaunty copper
We need more pvp events
sour plaza
Everything is interconnected... you get enough parsteel, you are still short the uc/rares for that building, you get the uc and build that building, you need the credits to buy that ship, you get the credits for ship, you need the officers to crew it...
How do one decide what to improve and what make people happy without just shoving the unhappiness from one aspect to another?
Solve that, you win my respect! 😂
nova valley
mini events offer recruit tokens, all the way up to ultra. free.
mini events also offer free rss (albeit not enough) but still.... free.
RAID.
faction rep events, offer faction for copmleting daily missions and spending rss on upgrdaes/ships.... FREE (also offers faction credits, AND faction recruit tokens)
RAID.
faction recruit tokens for officers, faction credits for ships....
events lead to rss (still need morrrrrre) but rss comes in.
RAID.
get with an alliance who's active and can win or at least place. because those rewards are WILDLY helpful.
RAID.
use radiable rss to fuel faction rep events, by building/researchin/upgrading ships.... and the circle comes round.
the biggest bottleneck is uncommon, and probably uncommon crystal at that. but the refinery is the ONLY thing you can't impact by anything mentioned above.
also. marathon. not a sprint. it takes time to do it. and keep it balanced. and grow strongly in ALL areas needed.
if i'm chaning anythign in the game, it's refinery (although it's off to a godo start) and RSS.
and there's a diff between unhappiness and misunderstandign the game. you can't beat this game in 36 hours like a console game. it takes months. hell, most of us have been here a year. a HANDFUL of us were capped by content befre dark space. so 97% of the anniversary players have played a year and are still progressing. you can't expect it to happen quickly. the fun is in the journey 🙂

keen ledge
TL;DR 😉
sour plaza
Sadly, the way I see it, all that TLDR up there need to change for a shot at any real improvement in making everyone happy
nova valley
absolutely. hell, I'M NOT happy lol i agree the economy is kerfuffled right now. needs major overhaul. but i think if you look at possible solutions, you are limited. you can overhaul the way miners work to HELP in that regard. you also need to boost the economy with raw, and either the same number of, or less, tokens to mitigate the loss of raiding due to stashes. inc event rewards and pack contents.
then you can start to see some changes in the economy. after all, the goal is to ramp it up right? get 25's to 32's and 32's to 39's and 39's to 50's.
keen ledge
Unfortunately, you're probably right. It's a systemic issue so it requires a complex solution and alleviation of a lot of pain points.

The game needs to huge infusion of resources that aren’t in token mode. Uncommon is the bottleneck, but at least give folks the raw rss needed to advance and to allow raiding to be viable again. It’s so rare to find raid worthy bases now

I need people to sleep 😴 to raid them

But a lot of smaller f2p folk wouldnt quit after a raid if they could get un-tokened resources fairly easily from events
Some events provide solid resource amounts now. Others are straight up garbage
sour plaza
You’re assuming people enjoy getting raided constantly
calm stream
A guy that spend money on the game don’t quit so easely , so Scopely don’t care much about quitters
They just not part of Scopely equation
karmic sedge
I’m assuming that some folks learn to shield or it isn’t as big of a deal to lose rss when you can obtain them fairly easily
And many quit after the raid changes
Many more will quit when there is nothing left to raid
sour plaza
I actually think they tried that business model
Selling shields
And gave up on it
But I’ll just say this, even if we give new people a million parsteel a day, they will get PTSD from the vultures swarming around their base everyday looking for a meal
It’s a psychological thing 😑
I’ll also add this, at the lowest level I can hit, I can single ship any base no matter the defenses
No one, like to have their bases smashed in this degree on a daily basis
swift lotus
This is the dumbest argument I've ever heard. Instead of wanting smaller players to get more resources, why don't the bigger players get more resources from the events. Then you don't need to raid as much
Talk about a dumb solution to a dumb problem
Give everyone enough resources that is level specific and the problem ceases to exist. There is also a push for players to level up more now. 40 will be the new 30 and the upper level players will still be king.
Its simulated inflation. When everyone has bigger ships and bigger bases, its like when we were all mining G2 resources and upgrading our envoys.
teal jackal
I agree DrCookie. The only way to possibly get enough resources for upgrades, especially at level 28+, is to raid for them. Events can be decent, but the combat ones often give only a small profit after repairs. There needs to be a significant increase in resources from mining, events, and missions to keep up with the increased refinery output.
uneven wave
Or just slow down, and enjoy the community 😂
hollow helm
On our server there is no doubt in my mind that allied alliances are raiding each other for points. It makes it a rather useless event for everyone else.
nova valley
Big multi alliance groups are awful. lol they're gonna run out of people to raid eventually. it's doomed to fail. our server had one. top 5 alliances were included. lasted for a bit. but then went to shit
spice radish
I prefer raiding to mining but mining rate for resources needs to be increased way up to make it viable.
dapper bloom
@nova valley stop raiding and let shield down!!!
granite zenith
ah.... but when raiding his shield IS down
still elbow
As others have said, the mining rates for basic resources needs to be much more. It makes no sense that I can mine 3 star ore faster than I can mine tritanium. if you inject the RSS this way, the miners have RSS to spend on growing and there will be more RSS in the economy to be raided, everyone wins. Right now there are literally no bases that I can one shot with my Legion that have enough RSS to pay for the repair to use the ship. I hunt 4 hours a day probably....
uncut bridge
@twilit imp noticed that the alliance reward ranking isn't being tabulated correctly. Sent in ticket. Thought you might wanna check it out.
carmine lily
@uncut bridge haven't seen any problem with the rankings. What is the problem you are having? There doesn't appear to be anything wrong in your screenshots.
barren night
Chances are. Someone in your alliance got vaulted
uncut bridge
If @carmine lily. Check the score. I had scored over 300k. Photo above shows 200k score for alliance.

When someone in your alliance gets vaulted. It takes away from the communal point total

Grrrr...told all to bubble. Damn scopely and the I'll start the event late crap.
carmine lily
@uncut bridge it also doesn't update live, you have to either reload or wait a while for it it update.
uncut bridge
Just like top 10 event...find out after counter hits 0 that someone bumped your spot. 😜
carmine lily
IT doesn't show negative scores either, like Hal9000 said. if someone gets raided it counts against your alliance score. The personal scores can show billions but the alliance score can still be zero. seen it happen.
uncut bridge
Would be nice if it showed who was neg. Then could reach out on discord and wake em up. Lol

it's usually already over at the point.
but yes it would be nice to see who got hit so they can be teased in AC.

more like teaching shield discipline during raid events.
More often than not though it's game errors such as getting disconnected and unable to log back in.
proud solar
Agreed
floral trail
I do prefer the game since the new raid mechanics, it at least makes it possible for lower levels to join in on an alliance raid with BBs or envoys. I do think there needs to be more resources in the economy though I have a decent supply of tokens should I need them.
sour plaza
There’s plenty of resources imo, it’s just it’s already taken by a select few

This timings on the bonus refine are really poor. I have done every refine within seconds (fist one was 15 min) and I’m still 2 hrs short

Yeah the event lasted 48 hours. You’re not supposed to get the last one. That would require 50 hours (plus a few min)
On the bright side, I must have pleased the rng gods yesterday.
And THATS why I pull triples during bonuses lmao

i need a opinion from player of other server.
During the last Event some bigger alliance earned points by raiding a mate that leaves them for 8h and gets raided. After this he comes back. By doing this thy earn many points and reach 1st in Event position.
I regard this as a way of cheating.
Am i wrong with this?

@shrewd totem - the exploitation of the call to arms event makes the event pointless and is not as intended by Scopely. That loophole really needs to be fixed and is easy to do.

Kinda impossible without the rares and uncommons to level the ops though
At least without spending £$£$

So i won’t bother then :))
chilly island
Really need to be adding trit and trit tokens to every event. I’m always on the edge of running dry just repairing my ships. I never have an extra amount to upgrade anything requiring trit. I am a nightly base raider but everyone is out of trit lol can find it anywhere on my server. The few that have it are upper 30’s and 40’s and would cost more trit then u get back before they shield up. My whole alliance is starving for trit and we are a active alliance. Have something u can choose to trade for either trit or par tokens so u can acquire the material you are currently running low on. I feel I’m really going to have to have all 4 miners on trit nodes soon & put refining on back burner.

I would love some trit positive activities too

you can also complete swarm dailies and exchange for trit tokens every day

Just did a test run in lvl31 systems with t9 sally at ops 35, all 3 events done at a cost of 2hrs play time, 56min repair, and 36k trit...I had 39k trit in the cargo bay though so these events can be trit positive if you're prepared to put the effort in
dapper drum
cost less if you use turas and tallas in lvl 25 systems
abstract gate
Time is a cost too, at lvl35 I need 840 pts per event
And only 28+ give halfway decent pts...so there's that

no chance for scouts at those lower levels though either @dapper drum and those have some value as well.

8.1 mil (at least my level) but you don't need to spend 10 mil trit. 1 million points required for me. that's two levels of my spock.
1 mil officer xp? did you do the faction hunts? cause it awards 2.67 mil officer xp.

@calm stream i don't disagree that the weekend has no event to fill it. but i like down time now and then. gives time to raid. gives time to mine a bit if needed. catch up after a bonus refinery. replenish your stock.

@abstract gate that is just not true...any lvl28+ with decent saladin can loot bases. You can always shield. And if you moan that your base is target and dont like that, I am sure there are other nice games like farmville and such where you can admire all the flowers and be left alone

prisma geode
So spend money, or just keep upgrading at the same steady pace. Awesome event you are right. My bad.
harsh narwhal
More trit in larger amounts would be better I can't upgrade ships as I don't get enough
shrewd totem
@prisma geode you got a lot of officer exp from last fac hunts,time to spend it
prisma geode
If you haven’t aleady
shrewd totem
I did spend each time we had an officer event but still have enough left for 6 days of Domination 🤷♂️
Plus if you want you can buy ship xp with lat(10k for 200 lat)
rapid sky
I have almost 10M XP from the 2 events... only ever spend them during events
not sure I have enough officers to upgrade to complete domination event for 6 days though
shrewd totem
Then ship exp 😶
rapid sky
Well no ships to level up either
rapid sky
Hahaha even if I max a G2 ship it's not enough to finish one event
And it won't be in 10K chunks so lots of lat
shrewd totem
Build a kumari or a vahklas
rapid sky
And spend UCs to get trit? Don't think so 😂 😂
shrewd totem
They dont need unc/rare till T3 if I remember right
rapid sky
Might not... but very little xp there
knotty birch
Build Talla or Envoy, max em out then scrap them - 2* in 3* out.
rapid sky
Well not enough xp there to max even one domination.. and yep been doing that irrespective
prisma geode
Going to be a boring week is what it’s going to be.

Just save some effort and give all the leaderboard rewards to the top 25 players and alliances. For the rest of us, they are a waste of time and space

@shrewd totem
I spoke to earlier about the level 39 event. I just got the event rewards but, I don't know what to do with them to get to level 40. Can you please advise?
shrewd totem
@calm ember when you upgrade ops from lvl39 to 40 you will need them
calm ember
So, is it a new requirement or a reward? Sorry I thought that these would work in place of the resource requirements and, honestly I read it as "Insta-40"
shrewd totem
Ah nope,sorry.Just an extra requirement for ops 40
calm ember
So, it's an event that you have pay a $100.00 for in addition to the $1200.00 it normally would have cost. Nice.
You should tell them they need to clarify that. That literally falls under false advertising. Like majorly.
shrewd totem
You dont actually need to pay 100$,you can get Epic directives for free in like 2 months 😐.But I do understand why you are unhappy and sure will forward the feedback like mods always do
calm ember
Thank you I appreciate it and, your time
shrewd totem

spare jungle
How do i use this? Im lvl 39
shrewd totem
@spare jungle it is for ops 40
spare jungle
was it needed before?
shrewd totem
Yes
outer bison
yes, you need it to upgrade ops to 40
spare jungle
oooo, so it doesnt actually help you get there faster like rss or anything, just a requirement to have to start 40, where did they come from before?
outer bison
before? i dont understand your question
spare jungle
this token.... is it new?
people already are over lvl 40 on my server, and this is first time ive seen this epic armada event with the prize is this token
outer bison
how long have you been ops 39?
spare jungle
not that long, few days
outer bison
yeah, you dont get the event until you hit ops 39
woven belfry
It's always been needed, there didn't use to be a way to get them (that's why 39 was de facto level cap)
spare jungle
ah, now i understand
woven belfry
I think it was the last update that added the "event" where you get it so people can move to 40 now
shrewd totem
No
After update lvl39 player got those tokens for free in gifts tab
But people who become lvl39 later couldnt get them so they introduced this event today 🤷♂️
sour plaza
Good way to sell epic armada packs 😅
shrewd totem
You only 1 Epic armada so not that good
Would be better if it was like 50 tokens per week or 100 per week
knotty birch
The whole ability to gain armada directives is flawed. Need more ability to earn them. Also there is not enough opportunity to spend the earned cores.
carmine lily
Is there supposed to be an armada event going on right now?
turbid mural
better then the 💩 aka domination we have atm
shrewd totem
@carmine lily no,just a new weekly event for lvl39s
last lintel
That sucks... These 'events' are getting stale
sudden kelp
The Klingon hack event was fun, butbthat was like 7 months ago
lament horizon
Are you trying to bore us out of the game with 6 days.... 6 days of domination event?
6 days...... ugh
abstract gate
But I don't wannaaaaaa... I love these events for us lazy people...
rapid sky
then don't participate... easy
abstract gate
But but but rewards???
Domination is perfect. Do nothing. Get reward. My kind of event! 😂
rapid sky
lol I want an event that gives UC ore, need to build that up 😂
at least @abstract gate finally got his rare crystal
abstract gate
🤣
rapid sky
sep bosses is perfect, easy goals, good UC ore and UC cry
abstract gate
Yup, I like that one too.
But I hate swarms. Who has the time to kill 350 lvl 32s...
rapid sky
lol I smell someone leveled up too fast and left their franky behind 😂
abstract gate
I don't have a Franklin. Had to leave the game while those events were running. So I have to use my Sally
lament horizon
It's boring.... too boring
abstract gate
All I can say is, give it some time. Devs just got back from holidays, the new stuff is coming 😈
lament horizon
And why 6 days? Wayyyy too oong
abstract gate
Oh it will not be the only thing during those 6 days
lament horizon
Give us a decent seperatist event or something.... not the current, nerfed ones, but the ones we got in the beginning... now those where good
abstract gate
Yeah, the rework for events need to be done.
I don't know if and when will that happen
hardy parcel
Don't see what's so complicated about giving us less domination and more actual events. In reality it's probably the marketing team causing the delay.
shrewd totem
@abstract gate which word? SOOOOOOOON?
abstract gate
insert Gala quote here
hollow goblet
Are any more ‘race to 40’ events expected?
shrewd totem
They will be back just dont know when
raw zenith
One thing is as you can see from recent faction hunt they are reworking some events. So it takes time to put those changes in and make sure they work properly
I love the changes to faction hunt. More methods to earn points
When doing one faction I just parked a ship in rom territory and racked up points for that portion until I could focus on it
ebon galleon
Im happy to see faction hunt back again 🙂
cedar echo
In a way the epic armada event worked, all the lvl 33 epic armadas on the server were done yesterday...
shrewd totem
Nice
cedar echo
Outside any events, almost none are being done.
For lvl 39s, it’s still not that enticing proposition to run armadas when you can get 1-2 epic boxes opened for a pack (3 epics) yourself and not have anything cool in there.
At least on our server, the 39s tend to have a lvl 34 ship of their choice and Jelly already.
clever socket
@cedar echo you must be lucky, during the epic armada event we had 1 level 33 spawn a day so for all of us with jellys we had no epics to hit. Level 30 and below not worth it and level 36 impossible
As for this domination event, I called it before it even went live yesterday as it is there go to fuller event, well that and call to arms
Problem with it, is the event an md rewards and rubbish and this is a 6 day one. They go announce it like it some epic event when it's their same normal rubbish event nobody wants so for the next 6 days the galaxy will be awfully quiet waiting for an actual event worth taking part in. They should have just extended then faction hunt instead of this pile of 💩
cedar echo
@clever socket I think out of the 7 possible systems to spawn 33s, only 3 can spawn 33s.
@clever socket So we have the same problem, 30s nobody wants to do when cost/benefit isn’t there and 36s nobody can do.
silent horizon
Some of you people are tiresome. Domination is a side event. It just runs in the background. Tomorrow we have swarms, on monday we have ferengi mining, and who knows that goodied await us on tuesday. Stop complaining about domination, it gets tedious; either participate, or take today off until tomorrow evening
clever socket
@cedar echo I believe you are right and it is even less chance if one of the 33 systems has spawned a 30 because now someone needs to get rid of the 30
cedar echo
@clever socket Yeah, counted the 4 systems with 30s already in as hopeless.
We got 3 alliances with 39s and 3x 33s epics got done yesterday...
clever socket
@silent horizon when you get nothing on tuesday dont be surprised. At least faction rep comes back tomorrow. Also domination isnt a side event. Ferengi mining is a side event and so is the swarm event. We regularly have better events overlapping thse two side events so dont mislead yourself.
abstract gate
Tomorrow?
We have no info that faction locks are coming tomorrow
Somewhere next week
silent horizon
@clever socket well, lets just wait until tuesday then, if you can. If you enjoy being a hater just for the fun of it, then that is something different
clever socket
@abstract gate sorry I meant next week lol
abstract gate
Just making sure you don't end up disappointed for no reason whatsoever
They are coming
As for Events, devs just got back from holidays
Cut them some slack
It will be better
Much better
And IF it doesn't
We are getting Picard series soon
🤣
clever socket
@silent horizon just because I give feedback on how pointless I think domination is as a filler event, especially when the rewards are so poor and it is purely designed to try and make you buy packs doesnt make me a hater mate, that is feedback and the least of my worried at level 40. There are plenty of events they do great like the faction hunt which they could have just extended to be 6 days instead of 2
@abstract gate I actually cant wait for Picard even though I know secretly like discovery it is going to 💩 all over star trek... its Patrick Stewart. He could literally talk 💩 and I would eat it all up
abstract gate
Yeah, I think so too. I'm expecting too much, disappointment is guaranteed at this point.
But still
Patrick Stewart
Make it so

They were doing alright in the trailer till I saw the bridge of his ship

They could rerun previous big events. Give people the chance to earn Harrison, if they didn't. Or jaylah completed. Why have characters no one can access....

Is it Sunday already? jeez this weekend was fast 😂
I always wait with dailies until the event restart unless the event is known
rocky obsidian
So... Swarm Saturday now?
meager galleon
Check galaxy chat for more info/screens
Biomineral is lasting 6 days so highly likely Swarm event is lasting 6 days
rapid sky
well only thing you can get is faction credits
seems like it, unless something else comes later in the week
calm stream
For this event 👍👏👏👏👏
worthy orbit
For the swarm leaderboard event, I get points when I kill lvl 26 swarm but I get no points when killing lvl 18. The event didn't say there's a minimum level of swarm. Has anyone else run into this issue? (I've restarted the game twice with no change)
Edit: i get points from 19s. So just 18 and under don't give points.
abstract gate
Once again compliments to Scopely, they have been on a really, really good roll of events. There is still work to be done (like why do you set event store with tokens only 1 person can use and with only 3 items), but this is serious improvement. Keep at it!!!
nova valley
agreed @abstract gate we're seeing events award a huge influx of raw for the last 24 hours and the next 6 days. this is 7 days of straight raw rewards. very very pleased. i raided this morning for 40 mil. haven't done that in awhile.
abstract gate
I would love if they kept on it and gave for swarm event raws too...but baby steps...also, not only raw, but we had 2 faction hunts, fractured empire, BfG....events we had asked for for months...
There was bad things...like really, really low rewards during last event store, there is still work to be done on this event store (if you can even call it event store), we still cant say for sure rewards will be better and given as raw...but baby steps, baby steps

sorry if someone already asked, but what am i supposed to do with these 400 ascend keys?

@prime pike you use them to upgrade ops 39 to 40

Where are the epsilon tokens in the new event store supposed to come from?

@formal parrot solo leaderboard

@shrewd totem thanks. #1 gets 1, no one else gets any 😂
shrewd totem
Yeah
prime pike
@shrewd totem I got that part but how? Do I still need to upgrade the requirements? Or are these supposed to be some sort of freebee?
shrewd totem
@prime pike those tokens are just another requirement,you still need par and other stuff
leaden isle
Anyone know when the next armada event is?
prime pike
Poop.
shrewd totem
😅
prime pike
Thanks Bat
prime pike
Would have been better if it was a freebee upgrade.
sudden wing
Biomaterials adds points no?
shrewd totem
@sudden wing yes
@leaden isle yeah I get it but we do not have event calendar
@prime pike I agree but 🤷♂️
leaden isle
That would be a great help if they could provide a couple weeks in advance what was comming out
shrewd totem
I wish but events can change at last min so if that happens people will be mad to have a false calendar @leaden isle
sudden wing
@shrewd totem nm was told the wrong thing. He completed a mission for biomaterials. And the others did there dailes before event
Lol
shrewd totem
Ah 😅
sudden wing
:)
Although for future if it's based off dailes they should start the event when dailes reset..
And yes I know it's all ur fault batman lol
inner cave
We need a data event that gives some independent credits and/or officer badges. Way too hard to lvl the augment officers otherwise
rough wigeon
Hello, everybody! Someone can tell me please, how to beat a level 33 player in level 28 against a swarm if a level 33 player is stronger than ships, upgrades and officers.(sorry for my bad translation)
What reason to balance players which in different "weight categories "
cedar echo
Isn't the bracket 30-35?
shrewd totem
I can see lvl33s at max while at lvl30(it is same for lvl27s as well)
cedar echo
Ahh yeah, saw a 29 in top10, so likely 28-33.
lapis harbor
Hunting swarm is boring
rough wigeon
Boring and disbanded. Sounds like : Hey, you, boy, to get prizes in the race you gotta run faster than Usain Bolt, for instance. Absolutely unbalanced event, just like any developer. It's like we're in a warhammer's universe, and they found old technology but don't know what to do with it. They've done and run it all the way.
nova pecan
Anyone know when the next armada event will be?
