crisp kernel
Just seems like it's going to be impossible to Max Borg recon, even of if you bought 50k points
shrewd totem
nah it will be possible.Otherwise would be too stupid to put milestones there
crisp kernel
We shall see I guess, was tempted to buy a pack but i cant justify it unless I know I can max recon
shrewd totem
patience is a must with this game ๐
echo parrot
the only problem is getting to the 5th milestone for the keys, while the mission event is still up
shrewd totem
I hope we get extra events before that event ends
echo parrot
me too
echo parrot
I want the borg points from the mission event by doing the missions
crisp kernel
I too need trit
mental yoke
I just want concrete information on how this works. ๐
echo parrot
its all explained in game, its really not that hard
you do events to earn borg points
those borg points count towards the month event
once you get milestone 5 you get keys for the missions
you buy the premium pack in store along with they keys from the milestones and open boxes in the event store
shrewd totem
just check #557163704383438850
mental yoke
The question I have that I donโt see concretely answered is: is it level locked?
shrewd totem
probably not
alpine snow
Level 23s can see the chain missions start in the gift section. 20s can not. Not sure about 21 or 22
shrewd totem
Hmm
mental yoke
โProbablyโ is not concrete, which is why I was asking
shrewd totem
Let me ask that around.Good question ๐
alpine snow
Neither is recommended
mental yoke
And is not explained in the events, news or FAQโs.
That would be great @shrewd totem
shrewd totem
if we find an exact lvl might add it to faqs
mental yoke
Thanks!
alpine snow
Agreed @mental yoke. There was nothing in any material sighting a level requirement. Scopley is however offering people to pay money not to grind even at the lower levels. Sounds like bait and switch to me.
midnight pelican
Why "recommend" a level to start this whole BS event if it's possible at lower levels to complete? Sounds like sketchy word play to me. Like they "recommend" you do it at a certain level because that is actually the lowest level it is geared towards. They just don't want to come out and say that because it would cause obvious backlash.
abstract gate
Lvl 18's don't get it, I posted screenshot of their reply to me above
it's level locked, what level that is, is unknown
seems there's a disconnect between their engineers and their marketing department
alpine snow
23 is the lowest I know for sure has it, which is still under the recommended level
shrewd totem
what is the recommended lvl?
abstract gate
recommended is lvl 25
shrewd totem
hmm
abstract gate
why that's recommended is unknown also
shrewd totem
anyone in here who is lvl 25?
alpine snow
I could beat the mission at lvl 20 based on the mission ships you needed to defeat that i have seen posted
shrewd totem
@alpine snow do you see events as well at lvl23?
alpine snow
I am lvl 20, so i dont see it. I have seen lvl 23s in our alliance have it
21 and 22 i havent heard from
fathom light
I'm at 25, what's up?
alpine snow
Its arbitrary
mental yoke
I know this is not the main mission chain but it is one of the places the have stated a lv โrecommendationโ
alpine snow
The fact of the matter is they are scamming low levels into buying something they cant access
shrewd totem
can you send me an ss if you can see the pack so I can inform Devs @alpine snow
and also an ss of gifts tab
fathom light
Unsure, I still need to unlock the missions, got some pack for tokens for the events tab but unsure if they are what need to be saved or if they're meant to be used now.
shrewd totem
go to gifts tab and collect the chest if you bought the pack and got the rewards from main 20+ days long event
abstract gate
They're doing this because they know once PVP opens up, you could camp at lvl 18-19 and enjoy the game with a good pvp attack buffer - but once you cross level 20, you're open to being hit by levels much stronger than you. If I had to guess, I would say the missions open up at level 21
fathom light
I can hypothesize that the recommended level is just for npc difficulty but without knowing how tough the Borg are in the first ten missions I am unsure.
shrewd totem
thanks
upper knot
@nova valley
alpine snow
To be clear i can not see all of the offers as i am completely f2p, those are from a fellow lvl 20
upper knot
Not understanding the math here. It says 30% increase. I only see about 16% increase.
nova valley
@upper knot think fo your bonuses. they are additive.
shrewd totem
would be amazing if I could get his player id in case Devs ask for @alpine snow
alpine snow
Its @mental yoke
nova valley
so, the cargo "bonus" from the officer is being added to the other bonuses you get from research and the ship itself. allllll of these bonuses are added, and then the ship mining rate of 300/hr is multiplied by the total bonus.
so it's not a multiplicative bonus. this is working as intended. you obviously have some other bonuses already in place from research.
shrewd totem
@alpine snow Thanks ๐
mental yoke
@shrewd totem PM sent
alpine snow
If you need mine @shrewd totem let me know
inner cave
Look at the base protected it will be 30% of that
upper knot
Thank you for the explanation. If the base values were displayed ANYWHERE it would be easier to figure these things out.
vapid hill
Anybody know the first cost to promote the borg guy? (INdependent credit costs, specifically) And how much his protected% goes up?
shrewd totem
vapid hill
As of 5 mins ago.
shrewd totem
dont know if I am supposed to share it ๐คฃ
alpine snow
Just waiting for the day that the majority of the low levels figure out they were scammed into thinking they had access to a mission that is secretly level locked.
abstract gate
That's Shit you Pirates ๐
hardy parcel
4 command badges ๐คฃ๐คฃ
Total of 7 ๐คฃ๐คฃ
Yeah he's not getting promoted any time soon.
eager hill
borg officer looks to be the worst officer in game and there are officers who are even broken.
olive rover
His captains ability will be good if there are other officers that can be used on the bridge...just not useful on it's own
eager hill
first off he isn't a mining officer and even maxed out your maxed faction miner will have 40-45k protected with him so nope, doesn't deserve to be even t3
his captain ability is mehh at best. 5% increase in mitigation would mean way more than that. as the mitigation will be a percentage of total damage and his ability will be a percentage of damage not mitigated which generally is between 30-50% of total damage depending on target and your motigation stats
olive rover
As stated, he could be could with others of his type
We don't even know how much synergy bonus yet
eager hill
in that case, we will have to wait a good long time to even know if he is going to be not the worst officer that needs independent credits ๐
olive rover
Yeah, in theory if he has good companions that give combat focused officer abilities, it could boost that kind of ability even further
Say on a Enterprise...if you could mitigate more of the damage onto the shields...it'll last so much longer in combat
eager hill
even on an enterprise on of seat will be reserved for moral officer and single synergy might take his captain ability to 10%. not even close to what zhou could do
red gulch
NOW YARDA ONLY HAS ONE MINE!?!?! Scopely crazy
vestal heron
Been like that for at least a week and used to be like that before. And sucks big time ๐ฌ
shrewd totem
please contact in game support @red gulch
void venture
who purchased the Borg officer pack? if you did, was the officer available to use?
red gulch
They knew, it was like this for couple months. Server 13 is ignored
void venture
@red gulch hi lady!
red gulch
I. F. you sexy thang
void venture
@shrewd totem if I purchased the Borg officer pack? will he be available to me immediately?
shrewd totem
yes should be if pack has enough shards
slender trellis
Better to save Borg event tokens or cash them in y'all thinkin'?
random sentinel
so why don't we have trophy recruit available when we're earning them through battle for glory?
empty kelp
The better question is - when Yards had 3 nodes on release why does it only now have 2 even when itโs โfixedโ
elder gyro
stuck geode
@random sentinel i am seeing a trophy recruit available in my recruit section. so you may check again
severe bridge
Our 2nd yarda node has been gone for at least 4 months if not longer. So if we submit a support ticket they will fix this???
Crazy, do they manipulate the node amounts based on server volume or something? We had 2 at start then it went to 1 quite a while ago.
tawdry kindle
Same here. Only 1 usable spot left out of 3 in Yarda, after ~1 month aug space got introduced...
So we have a ~66% broken system for like 8 months or so now ๐๐๐
Server 145 btw
south arrow
Ours only has one
obtuse otter
Is there an Augment event that I don't know about?
severe bridge
Well one of ten I think uses independent credits so I think some mining MORE than normal to get those fโin credits.
Only real way is turning in data in the augment faction store 
obtuse otter
Aug space is pretty empty as it is. Maybe there will be a rush?
Yarda moves too fast sometimes, but they should all be fixed.
Broken nodes in every aug system
random sentinel
@stuck geode they added it after i sent that message lol
empty kelp
Iโm on server 20 (RevDs server) and we have had 2 forever - never seen the 3rd one after many many people have complained
knotty birch
Server 12 - only had 1 node for so long now. Used to have 3 functioning nodes last data mining event.
Please fix Scopely - this is dumb!
severe bridge
I put in a ticket. Doubt any change but who knows
silent horizon
Did you guys also get today a star trek celebration chest with shards from a lame officer? I canโt even be bothered to remember its name
dapper drum
Yarda has had 1 mine since around July 2019
the last 2 systems before it were taken down to 2 mines per tower
your server wasn't fighting over the nodes enough so they took them away
no fighting = no profit
carmine lily
fighting over the nodes is what made them go away in the first place.
carmine lily
realistically he looks like the kind of officer that people would stick on a barely upgraded survey ship so they could hold a node all night without going zero or over protected limit.
hardy parcel
Could be useful on a third miner for me but not going to bust a gut to promote him.
abstract gate
19.5k independent credits, 7 command badges and these nano probe things for full promotion...yeah, no thanks
Even hardcore whales would baulk at that cost
hardy parcel
Yeah. Bottom of the (quite long) list.
abstract gate
Ofc that cost will be even more prohibitive once they release additional borg officers requiring the same stuff for promotion...50 independent credits/day +/- 1 or 2 from random pve drops = nope, nope, nopity nope
hardy parcel
abstract gate
Badges are still predominantly locked behind a paywall, independent credits are supplied in such pitiful amounts that they may as well be too and nano probes are an unknown quantity but will probably be as rare as hens teeth too...f that noise
hardy parcel
Agreed. He will sit at a low level forever along with most of the augments unless we get a better source of ind credit
abstract gate
The most laughable part is the p2w packs...less than 400 independent credits in there for an officer that needs 19.5k to fully promote ๐คฃ either scopely fail at basic math or they think we do
hardy parcel
I vote for the latter
abstract gate
Complete joke ๐ฎ
1275 total from the officer pack = t3 promotion only and that'll cost you 200โฌ after that it's 390 credits for 100โฌ a pop
You can get a full epic ship unlock for less
In fact you could unlock all 3 epics for less and still have change left over to upgrade one a bit ๐คฃ
magic snow
390 credits for โฌ 100 per pop I need 1x 5200 credits and again 1x 13000 credits ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ
47 x 100
abstract gate
Scopely does know they made a mobile game right? Even the players that suck at math have a calculator right there...
Those packs are at lvl35 btw, I don't know if they differ for higher/lower lvl's like other packs do
magic snow
๐คทโโ๏ธ

Soft paywall? They intend to add more later?

brave gale
Are the borg premiunm unlock thkngs of any value? Do they allow you to follow the story lines, or are they just for tryjng to amass more useless rss that wil clog your items list
hardy parcel
@brave gale the premium pack gives you one half of the tokens needed for the event store. You would need to still do the events.
You can get the missions for free
twilit imp
Premium unlock tokens fastracks you to the milestones which unlock the storyline yes whilst also making the event store available and providing more rewards
But missions are also obtainable for free if you hit every milestone by participating in events
hardy parcel
Every milestone? Does that include imminent threat and promoting the new officer?
Or just battle for glory etc. . @twilit imp
stone grail
my hoping is that other events give more points than bfg does i.e 4200 per day
abstract gate
@twilit imp do the tokens carry over each 24day cycle?
2 tokens per premium reward so unless they carry over f2p get the shaft (again)
stone grail
i think the event store tokens will reset imo, as they are touting it as a "battle pass"
and i think each arc will require a new "battle pass"
hardy parcel
No I don't think the premium tokens carry forward. The only way to get the event store stuff is to pay.
abstract gate
I want official confirmation either way. Speculation is getting us nowhere
stone grail
speculation is how they get their ideas ๐
hardy parcel
@abstract gate that's how they were described in all the official blurb.
stone grail
i just want to know that i can acheive the top tier after purchasing the premium reward pack - otherwise it's pointless buying it and quite shady (no surprise)
there should be AT LEAST the top tier requirement of points available through the event schedule, allowing perhaps a little leeway for missed events etc
without having to "top up" with paid packs
abstract gate
The official blurb is vague and misleading as usual
hardy parcel
Panic clarified in galaxy chat too.
abstract gate
Galaxy chat is unreadable I don't go there. Anything important gets buried by mods and content creators patting each other on the backs
hardy parcel
@abstract gate well you're asking a question already answered ๐คทโโ๏ธ
abstract gate
If it's answered it needs to be in #557163704383438850 because I'm gonna keep asking, frequently
hybrid ibex
@twilit imp how does this work? The premium unlock pack does not contain any Borg points and neither does any of the premium rewards? How does it fastrack you to the milestones and to the story line? These require Borg Points? Have I missed something?
abstract gate
@hybrid ibex there is a pack in store that gives Borg points
hybrid ibex
But panic is specifically talking about the premium unlock pack and tokens in his post.
If I buy the pack that panic is talking about, will it do what he says in that quote or not?
hardy parcel
@hybrid ibex I have 5 different packs. I think panic is referring to them all collectively
You can see the content for your pack no?
hybrid ibex
They have specific names. He his talking about the "premium unlock tokens" there is only one pack with those
stone grail
No, the "premium rewards pack" will not allow you to obtain the missions
the "borg points pack" will
hybrid ibex
Neither am I because I know people have bought it and it does not do what Panic says it does.
stone grail
you require 48k points to get instant access to the mission chain
hybrid ibex
Yes I know @stone grail, thats why I was confused with @twilit imp statement. I was checking was I missing something.
If Scopely people are getting confused with what the variety of packs available for this event actually do, what hope is there for the rest of us. ๐
stone grail
there is no hope ๐
hardy parcel
It's all worthless trash, don't buy any of it ๐คทโโ๏ธ
abstract gate
Are they confused or deliberately obfuscating the facts? At this point neither option would surprise me tbh. Scopely is the scummyist company I've ever come across even EA called and asked them to dial it back a notch
weak copper
Panic definitely misspoke. The premium unlock pack only allows you to get extra goodies from the event store, providing you earn a second set of reward tokens from events.
The Borg points pack is the one that fast tracks getting the missions.
knotty birch
Premium unlock pack is really worth it if you do the missions.
meager galleon
Kindve depends if youโre gonna be able to hit all the mile stones
weak copper
I bought it, so hopefully Iโll be hitting the milestones. Just as long as thereโs no mini-events at odd hours, it should be ok.
frozen abyss
I think 8-hour events help us to top-up a bit more because they design the points where they expect people to only do 2 of the 3 rounds, normally, so doing all 3 rounds helps you to get ahead of the rest of the pack.
stone grail
they could do with reducing the BfG cooldown, don't need 24hrs to complete
isn't it usually 8?
spiral forge
what is this timing? just one hour to use the gold trophies?
abstract gate
Count yourself lucky ace
spiral forge
@abstract gate : ๐ . But did you already open one? I dont remember at all having opened one yesterday
abstract gate
Yeah I did when I woke up this morning, you must have too because when it opens you can claim immediately
spiral forge
ah, well i was at a party yesterday so i probably open it while ... been drunk ๐ . So i thougth the timer was just to show when it will be available the first time (like it was for bonus refinary for instance)
anyway wont be able to have a second pull as i will sleep tonight!!
stone grail
sleep is for the weak
hazy storm
@twilit imp are we going to get a calendar of upcoming events like you have provided in the past for long events? Be nice to know what coming and when
floral trail
i prefer the 24 hr format, 8 hrs is a pain due to my time zone and work/sleep getting in the way. At least with the 24hr format everyone has equal chance to participate and its not overly all consuming to complete everything
Its nice to finish the event stuff then do other stuff like mine, missions, raid etc without feeling you have to grind away to stay compettitive
weak copper
Agreed, 24 hours is better. Repeating the same grind every 8 hours was painful, it made me hate the BFG events. Much happier with them now ๐
stone grail
god damn it @weak copper ๐
weak copper
What, Iโm finally in the majority for once ๐คฃ
stone grail
haha - i was going to say, major unlucky in the call to arms the other day, both times we found juicy targets right after you had a humongous lead ๐ข
chilly venture
The whole borg things looks like overly complicated in terms of different packs, what that can give you or not. Main concern is the premium reward, which only gives you the possibility of getting premium rewards, but on the confition that you will get 225K Borg points in 24 days, which knowing Scopely (and the current payout of events) won't be possible and will require you to buy a different pack for Borg points...
stone grail
fingers crossed
chilly venture
My other concern is the undisclosed reward you can get after three months of events, with no clear requirement as to what exactly will be the criteria to qualify for it...
stone grail
the requirement is having the token
from the recon event
you get them per tier
"epic borg reward token"
abstract gate
How many will we need and what do we get though...basically even f2p spend time which has it's own value. Will the reward be worth the cost of $'s and/or time
This veil of secrecy bs is really f-ing irritating tbh
chilly venture
There is not one token, you get a certain amount per milestone. So do you have to reach the last milestone every month ? Will you need less ? I take decision based on the price / rewards. What if after three months they give a OP ships to everyone who reached the last milestone ? Maybe I would have bought packs if I had knew beforehand
abstract gate
How the f have they made so much money by treating us like mushrooms, kept in the dark and fed on ๐ฉ
weak copper
People secretly like being abused.
abstract gate
Yeah I'm getting a mental image of anyone flying a ISS Buyersremorse wearing a ball-gag and being whipped by a dominatrix "yes punish those naughty envoys you dirty boy!" crack
cedar echo
@twilit imp Can we get a clarification on this? Previously you and @loud solar in his videos were saying that the event can be completed for free. In your yesterday's live stream and comments today it has shifted to "missions can be done for free if you take actively part in daily events". Which is correct, that the event can be completed or just missions can be unlocked? Also with no Borg Points in any of the premium rewards, the premium reward unlock box does nothing to fasttrack the progress through the event.
hardy parcel
That's what clarification on would be nice. Previously they said all milestones would be achievable as f2p. Please clarify @twilit imp
winged tulip
I prefer the 24h event format just wish there was another milestone or 2. Event done in half a sally repair isn't much new content to enjoy
abstract gate
These message boards would be so much cleaner if scopely exercised a modicum of transparency. 80% wild speculation and grievances would disappear overnight
stone grail
hard to do when they make it up as they go along
abstract gate
If you think this isn't a carefully planned strategy to exploit people's fomo you clearly underestimate scopely's depths of depravity
winged tulip
In my case annoyance at event structure way > fomo
abstract gate
They are exploiting 2 psychological weaknesses in people. Fomo (fear of missing out) and the sunk investment fallacy
Fomo gets them spending then when the realisation it's not quite enough dawns sif opens their wallets a little wider
I've said it before and I'll say it again: their coders are garbage but their psychologists are top notch
@abstract gate so completing the ludicrous officer event is a requirement to reach top milestone?
i said what i said...
cedar echo
@abstract gate it's not.
abstract gate
that's what the response to our query was
cedar echo
If it needs officer event completed, it is certainly not achievable for f2p
abstract gate
It is not if tiering that borg 4 times is required
@cedar echo missed the not in my first post, fixed it now
cedar echo
A) no other way to get Active nanoprobes than the big event and you need to reach all milestones to promote One of Ten twice, 2 promotions will certainly be missed by f2p.
abstract gate
That's not even counting the independent credits needed
uneven wave
So f2p who grind the event can't earn the good rewards ๐ก
abstract gate
Nope
teal copper
Stupid you cant even f2p anymore they force u to spend
cedar echo
And even the players that pay for premium unlock only will get disappointing rewards.
uneven wave
I know you paid, but at least those rewards will be available
cedar echo
It's borg so it's inherently cool, but otherwise the event has been a total failure with just one officer released that screams for synergy
abstract gate
Yeah, pay for 10 rewa4ds you'll get 9 max unless you pay some more (like a lot more) to max that joke of an officer
cedar echo
@abstract gate How do you get to 9 max, I'm closer to 6-7 max?
abstract gate
I'm a closet optimist
cedar echo
@abstract gate With Scopely?
@abstract gate You're having it well when you can still think positive about it.
uneven wave
Scopely just want your cash to cover buying another game studio
abstract gate
It's way at the back of the closet
cedar echo
I would think if they can not do mathematics, they should avoid complicated structures.
abstract gate
Oh they can do math...$+$=$'s
@abstract gate can you get some clarification if there will be any kind of points buffer allowing f2p some leeway to skip the blatant p2w aspects?
Or will total points achievable = 225k and f u if youcan't unlock or promote 1of 10
normal bane
@abstract gate so is the voice in the wilderness mission referred to in imminent threat not the first mission unlocked with the mission keys in the 5th Borg reconnaissance events?
frozen abyss
@abstract gate I would like to verify that what you are saying is that even without the pionts from An Imminent Threat and Promote Borg Officer this week, it will still be possible to reach 225,000 total points through the standard daily events. From what I can see, we have 24 days of events. If solo rewards are 4200 per day, as they were the first 2 days, that means 4200 * 24 = 100,800 points total. If you add in the alliance rewards for top tier of 1000 every 2 days, that's just 12,000 more, so 112,800. My question is whether the events going forward will count for more points than the current event, whether the "An Imminent Threat" event will repeat later to provide points to those who hadn't yet completed the missions by then, whether the "Promote Borg Officer" event will repeat to offer more points, or if there is some combination or new events that will allow F2P players to reach the last milestone without finishing these 2 events: "An Imminent Threat" and "Promote Borg Officer"
abstract gate
Yeah! ๐ what he said x2
astral bobcat
As the premium unlock said nothing about the need to spend more money to make full use of the pack im going to assume it is possible, it has to be, otherwise it is a fraud.
abstract gate
Nothing new there @astral bobcat
astral bobcat
True, but this one would just be obvious, and well enough to demand a refund.
abstract gate
We asked the question coming from the f2p angle so I'm gonna say yes it's possible, I have asked for more clarification and will update when I hear
Seize the play is scopely's external motto, their internal motto is " f u pay me!"

It is official: They have taken a great idea like Star Trek and turned into a source for greed. Free to play is officially dead now as it is very obvious that big events will become pay to play. At least there is still Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes and Marvel Strike Force.
frozen abyss
It says that they're refined from Inert Nanoprobes, so I'm guessing there will be a way to get Inert Nanoprobes in future events.
or possibly mine Inert Nanoprobes from destroyed Borg Cubes?
and 1 of 10 will be a part of the Nanoprobe mining crew

@last vigil Strikeforce got eaten by Scopely the other day I believe

Oh goodie another pointless resource to m8ne? ๐คข

frozen abyss
Pay for early access or earn over time (3-6 months to earn)

lucid plover
As it stand then you need to purchase 627k of the nano probes with 12.5k per pack it will cost ยฃ4845.48 to complete Iminent Threat
Think il miss out the event

@lucid plover you are forgetting the independent credits needed....triple that figure if you don't have 19.5k saved
@abstract gate really? Jesus

@abstract gate Who is really going to invest a year to get a ship??? Not many people I know for damn sure.

Dunno haven't actually done the math but its 300 odd per 100โฌ pack
@last vigil i was being sarcastic lol

@abstract gate Okay

@abstract gate
You get 390 in a pack with the nanites

You have to be joking does scopley not know by now we hate only domination
woeful lake
This event is a total failure just like armadas, I will be skipping this event and closing my wallet. The worst part in my opinion, was to make event store pay only. Also the worthless rewards from armada chests. Oh you are rom/fed faction...have some brel bps cause youll never build one, or hey lets give you tons of bps on ships you already own ๐คฃ. To be honest the game is becoming repetitive and boring...pay to participate, hunt reds and mine with special mining ship, rinse and repeat. Dont worry about finishing mission chains either...no one cares about those. I'll just play casually until cyber punk comes out.
@south arrow And mining with related mining events ๐คฃ
abstract gate
It's a low milestone domination event after faction hunt...just promote an officer and chillax with your easy borg points

I'm ok with it occasionally, but if this is a cycle type of event., should I expect a domination day every week or more?
That will make it very costly and tedious

Rofl so you post how itโs not pay to win and you donโt need officer event to reach 225k buttttttttrt you need to complete the events daily and domination is not a easy win especially when you have maxed research and buildings and level 34 saving unc for your ships lol
Whatttt so now I just lost the borg event I wonโt reach 225k unless I drop $50
Cool
abstract gate
Promote an officer...jeez
south arrow
Buy more packs ๐คฃ thatโs scopleys response
winged light
jeez... if you have an officer to promote
onyx fossil
I bought the first pack for the 1 of each prem pack which does nothing if I canโt complete the borg recon so thatโs dumb lol
You need to pay $50 for the officer
I paid $1 for the first shard though hahaha
abstract gate
If you haven't learnt to save for these events by now that's on you not scamley

Yeah next event will be just bend over and take it ๐คฃ

Not a officer THEE borg officer there only 1

I talk for everyone, I am lucky I have officers to upgrade
but it's not about saving

No that event isn't required to reach 225k check #557163704383438850
hardy parcel
Promote an officer "event" done. What a waste of time. And even more for people with no one to upgrade. ..
abstract gate
As I understand it only the main events are required (bfg, and domination solo milestone so far)
hardy parcel
That's how I read it. If you do all of your main event solo milestones you'll complete the arc.
abstract gate
You can ignore the lb's and the mission/officer based ones they are just fasttracks for the spenders

Do you have to save the premium reward tokens for the end of the Borg stuff or is it safe to spend when you get them?
abstract gate
Safe to spend, the epic tokens are for the end and can't be spent
According to mods here premium tokens don't roll over to next recon cycle so if you bought the unlock pack and have milestone rewards spend them

Domination also has 2/3 of the previous rewards replaced with Borg points of questionable value.
mild goblet
Good god this is ridiculous. Battle for glory was guaranteed to unlock the borg missions in about 12 days and it was a perfect grinderโs event. I had the next two weeks planned out. I could do the domination even, having saved every officer XP that I got for months, but please Scopely, stop yanking peopleโs chains this way. Give a straightforward way for people to see what they can get by doing x amount of work, versus what they can get by paying x amount of money. If the people running this company think this kind of treatment is going to make me spend real money ever again, theyโre plain crazy.
abstract gate
Did you honestly think bfg would run for 12+ days? If you think the backlash against dom events is bad just imagine how f-ed off people would be locked into red tapping for 2+ weeks
It should've been obvious the 24day recon event would have a mixed bag of events running along side it
mild goblet
Yes, I honestly did, moreover I planned on it. Most of this game is red tapping for me.
And managing limited resources as best as I can.

round ocean
frequency an issue though, I'm stuck with 700k xp and not having any officers left to lvl since last few rounds of the event

I agree it really shouldn't be a main event but it is what it is and we have to adapt or perish
round ocean
The most annoying part is the interconnectivity to the Borg stuff
being done with dailys I'm stuck just mining, nothing to do
shrewd totem
Officer exp isnt the only thing you can spend to finish it
abstract gate
If you didn't max all 3 faction hunts each cycle it's not gonna be easy but again that's a lack of foresight on your side

Use lat to lvl your ships

ugh, seems so wastefull... oh well, guess thats the only way at this point
abstract gate
Save defence platforms for dom events one of those suckers will more or less max it
There's options if you plan ahead is what I'm saying
shrewd totem
I save them for ranking station events ๐ค
abstract gate
Also a quality strategy @shrewd totem
shrewd totem
At lvl29 they give around 60-70k power if I remember right
abstract gate
A little foresight and planning and dom events are trivial
shrewd totem
Yep
abstract gate
Tbh to me complaining you can't finish a dom event is like saying "I'm lvl30 with a t1 vahklas and bfg is too hard" every word there is you're own fault
viral sail
@abstract gate If Scopely published a calendar of events, planning ahead would be easier.
viral sail
For instance, I've been saving 3* for replicator events, but it's been more than a month since the last one.
Meanwhile, it seems we have Domination every few days
abstract gate
Every year I put snow tyres on my car in November without ever checking a calendar...
viral sail
Yeah, because you know winter is coming. For instance, if certain events came every month, we could plan like that
Even God communicates better than Scopely
abstract gate
You literally just said it seems we have dom every few days...
viral sail
Yep - there is Domination every few days. And I faithfully ignore it every few days because the rewards are not worth it, in my opinion
I don't upgrade everything immediately - I have millions of Officer XP saved. It's not as much that I cannot complete a domination event, it's more that I don't want to. They feel like a waste of XP.
abstract gate
I give up, lifes too short and at least one my kids smells like a code brown. I'm out gl with your events
viral sail
@obtuse otter I never complained I cannot complete Domination. I complained about the lack of information to plan for events
shadow obsidian
Does Anyone know if the domination event is required to achieve tier 5?
The leaderboard one
viral sail
Good question. The post in #โก-mod-announcements doesn't address that.
shadow obsidian
Yeah I read that several times to try to figure that out
viral sail
I assume you don't need it to get to tier 5, but you may need it to max the Recon one
shadow obsidian
Interesting thinking more along those lines if that is the case 1 person free to play per server would be able to max it assuming a pay player didnโt hit the top spot
That canโt be the case though I wouldnโt think because that also mean youโd have to top the individual and alliance leader boards
abstract gate
The way I understand it only the main solo milestone events will be required to achieve 225k points alb, slb, mission and bs borg officer event are just fast tracks for the spenders
shadow obsidian

Oh god I just figured out what those epic tokens are for...borg miner for extracting inert nano probes...

yeah, really, you think free players should be entitled to all the same rewards as people who pay?
If that were the case...people wouldn't pay, company wouldn't make money, there would be no game
sharp ibex
It's like a reward pack you have to grind instead of simply pickup ๐
abstract gate
The pay only rewards are fine imo, the vagueness surrounding it was not. It's been made clear after a lot of nagging by us and digging by the m9ds but it should never have needed that clarification in the first place
Pay for more get more, np's there
granite zenith
this way they have to finish the milestones as well as pay, as opposed to just buying a pack
borg premium reward is a limit of one... it disappears when purchased
i do however think that the premium rewards should have its own premium tab, and that we should also be able to spend the borg points in a reg event store
@median slate or reading the tv in your station
๐คทโโ๏ธ

1 from milestone, and 1 from unlock pack

sharp ibex
got all info needed, made decisions
granite zenith
the clarification was in regards to whether the milestone event could be completed as a f2p player... and because 5000 people a day came in to ask the same questions that were answered above... then their first clarification made more questions
and that was the promise by panic that was in question
merry fulcrum
@granite zenith it should NOT be that way, everyone should have access to the entire event
granite zenith
well you are free to have an opinion other that mine... i like this way
whales have to do more than just buy a pack to get extra... and its not 99 bucks to get
sharp ibex
yeah, acceptable considering other things from them
granite zenith
may be the first step at more affordable packs
sharp ibex
you can still do everything mission related in time etc
it's just that early access to it gets charged money for, we had the same with dark mirror, noone complained then
so why now ?
maybe coz that one was explicitly marked 'Early Access' ?
and actually, you never know what the rest of the 8 day brings
if you look closely enough, this event gives double the amount a day battle for glory gave
4200/day vs 9000/day on completion

Hello
edgy wasp
Any idea if there
s going to be more domination events in the near future?
I could go a lot farther with the solo LB but I don't want to run out of things to do for another
Would be really nice to see another event schedule for this Borg event. Come to think of it, it's been a while since I saw any kind of event schedule.
eager hill
@edgy wasp smarter decision would be to not compete for the LB. failing to complete an event that rewards borg point might result in not achieving top borg recon reward
granite zenith
going off track record... there is usually a dom event for at least 2 days every week
eager hill
you mean there is dom event whenever Scopely's management need a little ๐ฐ

It's one of the few events that doesn't break so it's a safe one to run on weekends without turning up to work on Monday to another massive clusterf...luff

Been trying to sort out this Borg Recon Event. What I figure is that the event store will be reserved for those who buy a pack only right? At least that is what it looks like right now?
shrewd totem
@cloud grail yes,event store is for people who buy premium pack to get premium rewards.You can check in game news if you want
cloud grail
Thanks just confirming I understood correctly that as f2p I don't need to look at the event store... In the borgs case it's for those who forked over cash only
shrewd totem
Yep
abstract gate
Question for, primarily, f2p-players: do you save uncommon Armada directives for the event (in order to complete the launch-event) or open uncommon armadas when you need unc-Armada-credits in order to stockpile rare and (eventually) epic directives for bonus-rewards during event?
Stockpile for event for sure.
serene raptor
Hi guys, will the next event later be Domination again?
abstract gate
@abstract gate stockpile uncommon or rare?
@abstract gate all, if you max your armada events (aside from the start an armada event) you should get enough uc credits to last until the next armada cycle or close to it
I ran out yesterday after doing 10k boxes everyday since the armada event before last (didn't bother with the last event cycle because...reasons)
abstract gate
Indeed all, must get as much value out of your hard-earned resources as possible. Play the waiting game and hold for the best opportunity to spend.

Sorry if it has been asked before, but is this just visual bug, or a problem...Because even if I open missions before timer runs out, seems like I can get only 9 points

I cant log in to game right now but I am sure it should be around 900.Can you find someone else who is lvl35+ to post an ss of his?Want to see if it is special to you which will mean it isnt intended or if it is for all lvl35+ then sadly it is prob intended
abstract gate
Its 900 points I lost by now if it is special for me...still not a big deal...hey, on a bright side I can call myself special...
But if it is for all lvl35, like I presume it is, I just find it funny and wonder what did poor lvl35 did to scopely so we get punsihed๐๐
shrewd totem
it is a bug like how some got more borg points at rank 2 in alliance event probably

as long as you dont spam and tag people sure ask your questions

There is freedom of speech but equally freedom not to have to listen

There is also rules in here breaking them might result in a ban or kick

No, nothing to worry about, I meant here

@quick sand For a tag???... wow so here is not possible make question, not possible tagging... not possible receive answer... so what is permitted, and what need this room?
kind roost
Domination gives a good break to go raiding. That is part of the game
jovial kiln
Domination is a non event. It rewards you for doing what you would do anyway
shrewd totem
@plucky grove well tag once.Tagging someone 3 times in 5 mins during her off work time isnt a nice thing to do
quick sand
It's a general question that anyone can answer
plucky grove
So do you have the answer?
jovial kiln
Or not answer and then get stuck in a rut arguing about tagging people
outer herald
I just think have domination but something else for all of us to do. I.e exciting new Borg events as well to do.
jovial kiln
Yeah I think a lot agree that Borg have been a bit of a non event with rebranded content
And 3 months of it โน๏ธ
shrewd totem
a lot can change during 3 months and I hope they listen to feedback
jovial kiln
On the plus side Picard was great and featured a tie in at the end. Maybe see a cube.
outer herald
Yep that's all we ask @shrewd totem ๐
And don't get me wrong I'm loving the event and the new content just want more exciting things to do
jovial kiln
I think most players like events that reward activity. Hostile kills etc some even like mining events. But the domination really seems to scrape the bottom of the barrel, itโs just a combined station,research and officer reward really
outer herald
Just run it in conjunction with another event is my thoughts. But would like to see something new, borg boss event borg style event we're attack special borg targets but that might come later.
jovial kiln
And why put dominion on at the weekend when most peeps have more time to play
abstract gate
What does borg event emply? Or were can I find it?

@plucky grove
however, if ou want a respectful answer to your question, which was apparently so very rudely and repeatedly asked. NO there is no calendar of events.
plucky grove
@nova valley my question was not made in rude way... the rude way was used with me...I didnโt know that the community manager was off and that we cannot tag, then I thought to repeat the message including the moderators because I thought to ask directly to people that could know more then me and the others.
THIS MESSAGE SENT TO YOU WAS FOR JOKE....
โi will send messages until the end of my life so... ๐๐๐๐โ
Thanks for you answer and courtesy.
shrewd totem
You cant expect people to work during weekends,plus you can tag but doing it 3 times in 5 mins is extreme ๐คทโโ๏ธ
keen ledge
@plucky grove Reading through here, it isn't that you tagged the CM. It's that you did so repeatedly, which our rules say should not be done. Once is enough. We will see it.
As to your question,sadly there isn't an event calendar. It's been requested frequently - including by mods. We're as hopeful as you that we will have one in the future. ๐

@shrewd totem We've been looking again. And itโs true, he only get 8550 points from the solo domination leaderboard.

Only? Better than 4200 from bfg

gray charm
So based on what I'm seeing (and believe me, finding anything in this game is a chore), the Borg event is only available for people who pay $$$, is this correct?
flint osprey
@gray charm yes for the current missions and yes for the premium rewards in the evnt store, both are pay only. Supposedly future missions are free and premium rewards are paid for only as u only collect 1 trophy out of the 2 required from the borg event
granite zenith
the mission unlock keys are in tier 5. you can earn your way to tier 5 or unlock them earlier by paying...
flint osprey
From what I understand, u wont be able to unlock the missions f2p before the time runs out but will be able to use those keys for the future missions
granite zenith
getting the missions, and completing that event are 2 different animals, you can get the missions, even after the event, and the event is not required for completing the milestones
flint osprey
- Imminent Threat is an early adoption bonus and can only be completed by purchasing a pack to supplement Borg Points available from events
granite zenith
correct.
that event
you can still get the missions after that event
you can still complete the milestones without that event
- All milestones in Borg Reconnaissance event will be reachable by completing all the related events over the course of the month - the new Borg missions will unlock when tier 5 rewards are claimed from this event. Imminent Threat and Officer upgrade event will accelerate but are NOT a necessity for 225k points
gray charm
Thanks everyone for the quick replies and clarity

is there a level requirement for the borg mission chain
shrewd totem
Looks like lvl22+ but we arent sure if it is intended or not
dry cape
thanks, im ok on my server but wife is only lvl16 on hers and cant see them but can do all the events, i know in past some missions normally require lvl20
atomic shore
Someone knowa whats the "epic" reward that unlocks in the event store when you purchased the premium reward packnin the shop?
odd nova
<@&509691205798592532> now confirmed Imminent Threat is level locked to 22
shrewd totem
Ah ๐
dense lantern
Are we going to get anything interesting as part of this borg event, or is this it, same old stuff repeated with different images?
sharp ibex
@odd nova then why do I know these borg events where designed for level 23+ ?
now I see 22+, but I remember 23 being mentioned
odd nova
@sharp ibex I have no idea. Certainly the mods didnโt know based on my chats with them here and in the borg thread.
Do you know where 22+ was said?
sharp ibex
I think panic mentioned it some day
but I'm pretty sure it was mentioned
borg is the followup on mirror
odd nova
Itโs def not on any of the blog, official announcements or literature in game
sharp ibex
and mirror was designed 19+ I think
hardy parcel
Tbh they shouldn't even be selling those packs to people who can't use them
odd nova
@hardy parcel thing is we still get the rewards, and will get the mission when we level up. Itโs just that they havenโt made that last part clear at all
sharp ibex
@ashen wharf notice anything in that reply from CS ? ๐
hardy parcel
The mission chest is only available for 22 days odd. If you don't level up in that time I bet they are lost
odd nova
A one off comment by @twilit imp in the midst of a conversation is not informing the player base adequately
sharp ibex
true
but on the other side, you could also have asked before purchase
still got your 14 days
odd nova
I did not feel the need to ask as I read the available announcements carefully before deciding to buy
sharp ibex
and by carefully reading, you noticed the level restriction not being mentioned
which is normally the case in small letters at the bottom of event announcements in game you get on login
odd nova
Indeed
sharp ibex
not saying it's your fault, but you could have prevented it ๐
odd nova
In the past they have stated level 1-15 get access to so & so, level 15-20 will get access to such and such and 20+ get this thing...0โ
sharp ibex
yes, as said, missing in those announcement
panic will get his so much wanted ๐ฉ on monday for that from the community I think
odd nova
I donโt think you should have to ask if something is level locked if ur paying to pass a paywall.
shrewd totem
@sharp ibex no one mentioned you should be lvl22+ for missions
Plus in game it only says recommended lvl25+
sharp ibex
then why do I remember that? Didn't take any psylocibins... so I was not hallucinating for sure
odd nova
I would not complain if the mission was too difficult for me (combat I couldnโt do) because that has been made clear with the level recommendation
sharp ibex
I remember 23+
odd nova
I believe you
shrewd totem
I tried to search posts from Panic in discord nothing about level limit
odd nova
I just donโt think it was announced widely enough
shrewd totem
It might be a mistake by support as well
hardy parcel
I can't remember anything being said except recommended level 25.
abstract gate
Anyone knows if Swarm Sunday and Latium Rush are still on?
shrewd totem
Yes @abstract gate
dry cape
imo doesnt matter if it was mentioned on discord as many people who play this game dont use it, if its not mentioned in game thats the problem
shrewd totem
If they dont cancel it at the last min they should be on
sharp ibex
lat rush would be monday
shrewd totem
Depends on where you are ๐
sharp ibex
and yeah, can't find it either, still I wonder why that number rings in my head
shrewd totem
Maybe he said it in Rev's stream?
sharp ibex
all I see in regards to panic and 23 was dvor, some announcements and his ops level
it was before that I think
@shrewd totem make a log entry and tell panic to get a thicker raincoat ๐

mental yoke
If it is indeed level locked then they should not be selling me a $50 pack for early access to something I cannot access. As I have been down this road with several mods and over the last few days and was initially told, after asking this question before purchase, that the word from scopely was that the missions were available to all levels but may be too hard due to mission ships power. So I did indeed ask first and was indeed told that scopely said it was available to all levels.
languid cove
If you donโt get it back contact google or Apple
mental yoke
While that is a path, it is not something that I should have to do. This is the definition of fraud.
languid cove
Right, and they continue this track after likely millions of refunds
abstract gate
Will swarm Sunday be as per normal or will it award borg points?
tidal locust
They way I look at it, it says pay for early access. Itโs like paying to check into a flight early. If gives me early access to checking in. Doesnโt get me to the airport to board the flight.
mental yoke
Incorrect. I was told that the question was asked to scopely and the response was that it was available to all levels, but may be difficult due to mission ship hostile power levels. For your analogy to be correct, it would be like them selling me a plane ticket but saying I may have trouble climbing the stairs to the plane, but then there are no stairs and the door is locked.
tidal locust
Did you see any proof that the person even asked scoply the question? Only post from scoply directly I have seen says you need to be a specific level
keen ledge
@tidal locust I can't SS interactions with Scopely. That would violate my NDA.
tidal locust
@mental yoke
keen ledge
But we are moderators. There is no reason for us to lie about asking.
tidal locust
Are you the person that was told from scoply that borg mission were open to all levels?
mental yoke
Serveral mods were
tidal locust
Interesting
keen ledge
Yes. But before Hammer bought a pack, I asked him (?) and another player to validate a few things. It didn't look correct, so I asked the team to review accounts. As did other mods.
Unfortunately that was on a Friday night so we won't have an answer until tomorrow.
mental yoke
I am in no way blaming any mods. They only can say what they are told by scopely.
tidal locust
gotcha. I understand. I know I have seen many screen shots of people asking scoply and responses I saw were all rewards are available at any level. Borg missions at 22 plus. I think it was
keen ledge
Timj, we relay the info. If we don't think it's working as we were told it should, we ask again. ๐คท
We figured out the 22 thing here.
A fleetmate of mine leveled up and the mission chest appeared. But we're still trying to get information on why it's not showing up before that.
tidal locust
Gotcha
mental yoke
CS has also told people that itโs 25+ and also told people that its available to all levels so CS doesnโt even know and have given mixed info depending on what CS agent you get.
sharp ibex
I'll go after it and try to find out

I'm just going to complete the milestones as normal and assume that Scopely will treat us right and provide the ones that we would have earned in a gift box.

Best case scenario they will give the points to everyone. I don't worry they have too much to lose there not to correct it. Just do your event and you'll be fine
