I think most people are upset because it's insulting to not have any transparency.
But then again, this feels like beating on a dead horse.
My tinfoil hat suggests that it's targeting players with a specific ship/ops balance to encourage them to buy some upgrade packs.
shrewd totem
Fart/Dj/Rev's theory is better and looks accurate except a few players
quick sand
@shrewd totem DJ and I have spoken at length and he is questioning the video as well ... too many conflicts
shrewd totem
I havent watched it yet
quick sand
@shrewd totem Scroll up and have a read....
abstract gate
@devout talon no tinfoil hat required, the criteria @quick sand has outlined basically guarantee players in a position to build the required ships will be targeted by the event. A good percentage of which would need to spend in order to dodge the massive grind (ops34+ need 500xlvl40+)
I did the grind and with a maxed saladin sporting pike moroue and chen it took me nearly 14hrs of gameplay. It's not really 500 x lvl40+ it's actually more like 2500+ × lvl38+
At least for anyone lvl37 and down it is as we don't have access to dark space yet.
devout talon
I do understand the criteria, as I said it's rather obvious that everything is done to encourage people spending to avoid the grind.
I dont mind it in principle, my focus is more on the usual lack of transparency which creates frustration in many.
It's a general approach that is very arrogant in my opinion.
When the trust level is very low already, leaving people always in the dark just make it worse.
shrewd totem
I understand that it is bad why Scopely didnt announced the requirements but maybe they will do it on Monday when Devs and Panic is working

@quick sand question with 6 days to go on act I of borg reconnaissance event i have completed it. For the next 6 days will the Borg points I collect be rolled over to act II or will I just get rewards for completing. If so will the Borg points be used for something in the end?
quick sand
🤷♂️
shrewd totem
Probably we will need some new tokens for arc 2
upper basin
Ok. So these Borg points will they be used for something once all is said and done?
shrewd totem
No idea,I am just guessing based on what I have seen in the past
upper basin
@shrewd totem ok
quick sand
I would think that they're giving as many players as possible the opportunity to finish the Arc... the fact there are more points than needed is not relevant and won't carry forward

Anyone figure out why a large number of players did not get the military supremacy event?
hardy parcel
@brisk river see #📺-streams-and-videos
low heath
@brisk river Basically you need to meet certain criteria to get the event based on availability of being able to procure certain ships dependant on Ops & Shipyard level and faction rep status and the ships you already have.
hardy parcel
Don't forget the phrase of the moon and the position of Jupiter.
low heath
Yes yes, the stars must align, the ray of the sun will guide you on your mythical quest, etc etc 🤣
Watching Rev's video in #📺-streams-and-videos may help you figure out what your missing.

Thnx all. I gave the video a watch....
Basically it just told me that I am too badass for my level and would be unfair to other players at my level to give me an extra edge😉🦄

Too many swarms 🤮
carmine quiver
Rev wanted 3 days swarms, he got them 🤣
winged tulip
Can't kill 35 swarms, so it's grinding 32s for me and normal event finishes before hc!
But 3 days in a row of grinding gets old quickly, especially when there's the military supremacy event on as well!
brisk river
Dude...... wanna talk about grinding...
I just went from -524,000 kling rep to +510,000 kling rep in 15 hours of hitting lvl 37-39 roms, near 4000 of them
And I didn't even get the dang supremacy event
Btw, I am only lvl 30

@brisk river what the hell are you hitting. 15 hours??? I’m into my 3rd weekend of trying to fix my fed rep 🙈
Mind you I was -2 million
🤣
shrewd totem
Do some missions and boom your rep is positive in a few hours
weak copper
At the moment all the missions I have are undoable and I have to grind for military supremacy so I’m killing 2 birds with one stone
Just hit hostile status, working my way towards untrustworthy now
brisk river
@weak copper I knew I wanted to fix my kling rep. Locked out my romulan first. Then. Had been archiving all my kling missions for a long while. Got my rep down to -700,000
@weak copper [Romii System S:529392493]
That system gives really good rep value for the ships destroyed
You can copy and paste that link into your chat to zap to the system
Mind you. My cent is 1.16mill power and I was running pike, mereu, chen. Taking down about 90 - 100 hostile per run
@weak copper there is probably a better system for fixing fed rep. But this is the best one I could locate at the moment.

Good to see Scopely keeping their promises

yeah ive just completed mine f2p but was suprised it didnt give me enough borg officer portraits
sharp helm
Will the borg points be carried over for act II?
shrewd totem
My guess is no
sharp helm
Says I've got 202k borg points in other items
rapid sky
I have 197.5 even though clearly I got more 😂 😂
Knowing scopely they'll just call next event ones something else
sharp helm
So those that have finished the event 6 days before act II, will lose all the borg points gained from doing the borg events between now and act II?
rapid sky
Better that way as it allows more players to finish it if they couldn't do some of the events...
devout talon
It also means that those who finished already have some extra days of basically free events
so extra resources on top
hardy parcel
I think gala said on stream the borg points will reset along with the premium tokens.
fervent folio
Do Events that give Franklin BPs for free come around or is the only way to get it to buy it?
shrewd totem
Franklin bps appear in event store sometimes and the event to get bps might happen again in the future but we do not have a date
fervent folio
yeah, didn't expect a date, just knowing that they come around from time to time is enough, I'm planning on staying at 18 for quite some time while I work on Officers anyway
shrewd totem
You dont need to stay at lvl18
when I was lvl 28,I could see Frank bps in event store
During some events

not for the Franklin I don't, but because I'll be a weak 20 if i go now I do

limber lantern
Well, I kill quite a bit per day and it was taking less than 1 k kills to gain at least 1 bp.
carmine lily
takes me on average 200 kills to get one from hunting 35's. during alliance hunting events, i'll kill 1000's of 31-32s and virtually never get one.
it's all random drops tho, and my rng tends to be broken.
limber lantern
I usually hunt in Thama which is a 31 - 33, but in server 13.

torpid shuttle
Hi just to add I am f2p and lvl 14 and I have completed all the Borg points solo events ( not the alliance ones ) and I am still 5k short of the penultimate Borg level , we still have five days but I do believe different levels had different access to Borg point events so I am doubtful that all f2p at all levels can complete the Borg levels. For example I don't get hunt the faction that the higher levels seem to get. We will see over the next 5 days cheers
floral trail
I finished mine yesterday, I skipped a domin event but other than that quite happy with the amount of stuff received as a ftp, though I still don't have enough shards for 1of10; I hope they are more chances to get him or they add him to the regular drop pool
odd whale
There's also the solo ranking events which is annoying for f2p
Think there be another borg officer next arc, or do we continue maxing 1 of 10?
floral trail
We'll find out, but my guess from the clips is that they are new crew and presumably an new avatar to unlock at some point
odd whale
New stuff is nice, but why does it feel like the game will break when new stuff comes in?

robust vapor
Yeah, I can't remember if NS does either 😑 definitely on regular mining events though, which are less regular but do still come around.

Its also depends on level, since passing level 29 I don't see NS prints anymore. I have one already and its a fantastic miner for wartime as its cheap to repair and can do dailies in no time at all.

one has only 900k score from mining no way they stole the rest from dvor

Are they mining G4?
winged tulip
Still makes a mockery of leaderboards if they're not split so that people that can mine G4 are lumped in with the rest
obtuse otter
Horizon on a lat node for a few days?
shrewd totem
And just put a few fac miners on high warp 3g or 4g mines before event starts
winged tulip
Anything OC lasts a matter of minutes on our server - doubt a horizon lat mining could get in the million point range without getting popped..
robust vapor
I started my morning with a little over 1.3m and I'm fairly casual..
shrewd totem
If I put my Dvor on a warp 40 node before event I can go up to 5m with some lat stealing
robust vapor
5m is impressive. But yeah, it's easy to start it is with a couple million if you want to, just most don't know or don't bother..
shrewd totem
I dont bother after 5m,since top ones are around 10-12m at the end and I dont want to swap my Dvor every hour.Mining is boring ...
robust vapor
I like to casually make people look bad 😂 even when I'm too busy to work my miners I still do better than most 😑 can't compete with those W40 D'Vors and G4 miners though (G4 capable miners are not in my solo at level 34 though FYI).
shrewd totem
G4 capable ones are lvl38+ I think but not sure
robust vapor
Makes sense 🤔
But us regular folk aren't competing with them outside of alliance LB, we're competing with the dual W40 D'Vor owners 😂
shrewd totem
You can relocate to Wolf and mine with T1 Dvors in Bernard 🤔
If you have 2 3g and 1 node in Bernard and mined some lat before event it is possible to win
But boringgggg
robust vapor
But then half my fleet are grounded.. that's a good interim level strategy, but you need a couple G3, miners W40 to pull it off still. Most people would do much better with just regular premining, but those max D'Vor guys will generally dominate. But.. that's the game, people should stress less about solo LB unless they're willing to drop cash AND put in the work 😬
shrewd totem
I like seperatists solo lb,very easy to do if you have time
robust vapor
And the ship, so grateful for the ship buff 😂
shrewd totem
Ship isnt a must.With a decent kumari/vahk or a lvl26 ship very easy but you need to kill those 22s non stop
halcyon patio
or you need Tal...to kill a boss 4 times 🤣
shrewd totem
Or Pike
robust vapor
At my level, not worth looking at 22's 😬 cooperation and planning as an alliance can certainly help though too.
Way I see it the game requires dedication and commitment, teamwork, or money 🤔
shrewd totem
Usually in our server 25k points is enough to rank in T25, around 15k for T50
So with sep 22s it is 1k hostiles to rank in T25
Pretty easy if you have time
Before ship buffs,it used to took me 3-4 hours to kill that much

How'd he do it?
warm fable
He has a friend in another alliance in a lower tier of the event. One of them gets their ship way over pc with latinum then they go off to some low traffic system and take turns killing each other exchanging the same latinum back and fourth over and over and getting credit for “stealing” it in the event
Both of them winning their tier of the event easily every week without mining or actually stealing anything .....
Like I said not really his fault.... I know how to and could do it too... I guess my moral compass keeps me from doing it. I’m convinced he’s really bill belichick

What happens to our excess borg points earned during this event? For example, if someone purchased points and did the borg quests, and earned a bunch of points in excess, are they just wasted? We should have a solid answer on this... @twilit imp

long story short. all things related to borg arc 1 except for epic tokens will be removed from yoru items list at the end of arc 1; that and the officer shards of course.
fervent folio
yeah, i agree with jiggy, podcasts can be great to listen to, but when you need one little piece of information, or you did listen and forgot that one little piece of information, it's a PITA to go through a video or podcast just to find that one thing.
"just the facts" in a blog or wiki or something would be really nice
without all the extra shoutouts and news I don't care about and stuff about a llama named willis, I could care less about

awwwww shame on you. willis is awesome.

I mean I AM listening to that podcast while I work a bit, but I have other more interesting things I'd rather be listening too than an hour long thing just for one specific piece of info

hahahhaa, point taken. but we do discuss more than one topic typically... but then again, it's not for everyone. i appreciate the feedback!
fervent folio
yeah, you do, in this one you discussed the whole military supremacy thing first, which I already had that info from listening to revs video, which again was a pain to listen to a whole video to figure something out that I could have read in 2 minutes
then I have to listen to it again in your podcast just to get to the info I actually want
we need a TL;DL version(Too Long; Didn't Listen)
just like you were saying in the podcast that Scopely needs to be more transparent and tell us more, the info we get from you guys needs to be more condensed and easier to find
IMO
nova valley
that actually fits in really well with a feature @granite zenith 's has been working on, which is primary bullet points in audio snippets for our promotions pages (facebook etc) that feature 60-90 second audio clips.
i've also been toying with the idea of putting in "chapter markers' in the podcst for topic changes, with labels, so people can go directly there for topical information.

yeah, I don't do social media, so that will not help me, the chapter makers seem like a neat idea, but maybe an outline with all the information in it posted at the same time would be nice too
of course, then people would not need to listen and you would not get the ad revenue
nova valley
well, i don't do it for ad revenue, as i get zero LMAO,
notice there's never mentions of sponsors or real commercials.... there is no ad revenue on mine. just a fun time and a hobby.
and i'm ok with the chapter markers, because it still requires a measureable metric of a "listen"
you have to stream or download the show to get to the chapter markers, so it woudl still be a measureable stat to me.
i probably WOULD NOT do the written synopsis, as you're right, that would diminish stats, and that's counter intuitive for me trying to grow the show. lol
abstract gate
Listened to the podcast from 50 minutes to about an hour and 17 minutes, and after 27 minutes of my time...still didn't get an answer... Now that chat has been spammed with podcast advertisement/talk and buried my question...I will ask again. What happens with our excess borg points?
nova valley
so i will answer your question.... but you missed it... because the answer is precisely at 1:09....
all borg points will be removed at the conclusion of arc 1. as will all things borg related EXCEPT for the epic borg reward tokens. and of course the 1 of 10 officer...
borg arc 2 will begin fresh with a whole new set of rewards, tokens, content and currencies.
abstract gate
Thank you ... and the podcast is a great idea though, may start listening to it now... but also feel sorta ripped off for buying Borg Packs now, especially the $20 ones. Lesson learned, and will definitely not be buying them next time around lol
nova valley
BUT @abstract gate i do appreciate you tryin to give it a listen. as i mentioned, it's not for everyone, and i thank you for the listen!
abstract gate
No thank you for the doing the podcast... it's definitely a good thing...and something needed in the community.
Willis is awesome btw 😛
nova valley
one of the earliest pieces of advice i gave was to wait... i gave @sharp ibex a lot of 💩 for buying it early lol
quick sand
Borg Points were for 1) getting the keys for the mission; & 2) the Epic tokens for the end event for special rewards
nova valley
cause ya never know when changes can happen. i still haven't redeemed the event store, although now at this point it's a little late for changes lol
abstract gate
Right , but Scopely was not 100% clear as to what amount of Borg points are going to be available to earn/vs how many are needed for the event...
quick sand
abstract gate
So kinda scammy... I mean , yes I got to do the event early, but also bought at least (2) $20 packs needlessly... kinda irrirating
quick sand
They were ... you can see in the event rewards
sharp ibex
fact is, that post that convinced me in eventually buying that pack still exists
quick sand
no ambiguity ...
nova valley
well, ORIGINALLY @abstract gate they said that imminent threat was NOT gonna be unlocked unless you paid, and they weren't exactly clear on how the points would be accrued.
but that's exactly why i cautioned against an early purchase, cause we didn't know the math early on.
as time went on, it became apparent, but on an event that was 23 days, i ain't rushin nuttin! lol
abstract gate
Yea, lesson learned... kinda like the lesson I learned buying packs for trash ships like the D'vor ...but that's a whole different subject i suppose
Thanks for the info all
nova valley
HAHAHA, the d'vor... don' get me started.
i rantedon that online during the supremacy part lol
anyway, thanks for the feedback @abstract gate chapter markers will help and i'll start doing them.
sharp ibex
oh and btw djz, I wasn't there on that epi 😉
nova valley
hahhaha
sharp ibex
and I relistened all of them now
quick sand
The thing to remember, for this game to exist, there needs to be revenue....
sharp ibex
they obtained enough revenue on it already
granite zenith
well the podcast isnt for everyone...
abstract gate
The podcast seems pretty good actually, and i'm a fan of listening to podcasts on my commutes to work...so looks like UltimatBorg did get a new subscriber..listener today
In regards to Fartasia's comment... I agree...however we all know that there should be a balance between making your playerbase happy/having reasonably priced packs/and making revenue.... however Scopely is insanely too greedy, and choses the revenue FAR beyond anything else
Change my mind
winged tulip
At 33 this military supremacy event is more encouraging me to stay where i am than level. If i stay here i can comfortably complete it each time, with an intrepid built but eligible for gladius. If i level to 34 i'll have harder swarm dailies, harder hostiles to kill, and i'm not sure what benefits..
sharp ibex
lucky 32 pull on moreau this morning in a 3x ultra chest
let's see what I get tonight when I'm done 😛
so I guess domination tomorrow
nova valley
@winged tulip my data indicates that if you go to ops 40, the hostiles you'll be equried to hit are 40's.
vs the 38's where you are now... so it wuld become harder... but i'm sure the rewards scale too
winged tulip
@nova valley My data says if i went to ops 40 i'd need to remortgage the house, so lets just talk about 34 ;p
nova valley
no no no, poop, sorry, ops 34 LMAO
ops 34 is level 40 hostiles HAHA sorry typo @winged tulip
winged tulip
Yeah i've been lucky to get pike/moreau and faction locked roms so absolutely murdering them now to raise the other 2 reps, but it seems hostiles get a lot stronger at lvl40. I've found decent explorer/trader systems to farm in fed and rom space, had no luck at all with klingons though!

We will get the event store rewards without paying real money?
I ve struggled to finish the firat Act of Borg
granite zenith
as stated when the borg event started on the tv in your base... the Premium Rewards are only available with the Premium unlock
civic atlas
Yeah..seems i ve readed to quickly. Thanks
granite zenith
the milestones provide excellent rewards for completing them, not including the individual rewards from each days events, as well the premium rewards are amazing for only $20 ...
civic atlas
They are..but it s the first time the event store is locked behind real money
granite zenith
true... hopefully they will change the name in the second arc...
noble oar
Don't know if I call 20 bucks for some reasources amazing 😛
dapper drum
amazing in scopely pack standards
shrewd totem
Yeah unc amount isnt that bad either
dapper drum
150m rss dozens of rares hundreds of UC3
but lets not make scopely thing they did good
locking it behind event completion was kinda bull
should of been able to get the rewards without buying
and twice the rewards for buying it
event store should of been 1 key not 2
buying it entitles you to 2x the reward
completed event tokens and pay tokens
shrewd totem
I like this way more 🤷♂️
dapper drum
you would like my way more if you thought about it
twice the event store rewards for those that pay
rapid sky
well those who don't pay get the rewards from the event itself which were also quite awesome, those who pay get double via the event store 😛
sure it would have been nice to get even more but the borg event was already a side event to things like faction hunt/bfg etc.
winged tulip
My problem with this Borg event arc has been the lack of borg, not anything to do with event store! At £20 it compares very well even with the monthly £100 packs i think, certainly better value than a lot of stuff.
robust vapor
Of course not though, it's following the mission arc 😁 we're just investigating the Borg, gathering information..
winged tulip
A month is a long time to do daily events for borg points without seeing any Borg ships to smash. Didn't help that without buying points the quest chain didn't unlock till a few weeks in so you couldn't even see what the quest arc told you, and needed luck or £ to unlock the Borg officer before the event for him finished
kind roost
I love that the $20 pack value tied to actual player effort and activity. I feel like this first arc has been a big step forward for them
The borg missions were 100% possible to unlock during the mission event. The officer not so much, but I accept that there will always be stuff reserved for true p2p players
north wraith
Next ARC will require you to buy $50 pack for the rewards. And the one after that, $100
Scopely logic
robust vapor
I think they're starting to get the hint on pick prices.. maybe.. D'Vor and Borg rewards both seemed reasonable 🤔
dapper drum
lol dvor was a waste
even if you manage to get it free waste of dock use
just hunt those stupid enough to use it and refine the lat
raw zenith
i like the dvor
robust vapor
A waste? Not if I can max it out eventually 😅 I don't spend that much, so 1k lat a day is appealing to me.. and you can't get that from just hunting OC miners either..
robust vapor
Yes! I'm 16 days out from my second D'Vor!
raw zenith
Do not max them
robust vapor
Yeah, I've heard.. cheeky.. will take me ages anyway though 😂
Up to T6, but the mining rate is so slow without those premium mining spots 😑 need my second before I can really start getting enough parts..
silent horizon
If you max 1 dvor, you can’t get a second? Or what?
robust vapor
No more parts
raw zenith
once maxed refinery stops giving parts
silent horizon
Really? Lol
raw zenith
is your t6 max level @robust vapor
robust vapor
For T6? Yeah, but that's only 5-5.5k / hour without good mines or rich mines..
raw zenith
strange. mine isnt t6 or max level and i get 5100 per hour
think mine is t5 but dont have it to lvl 25 yet
robust vapor
I'll double check tier 🤔 but the increases are so small, that's why I want my second..
raw zenith
well mining rate speeds up based on level not tier
shrewd totem
Mine(T4,lvl16) in warp 40 node mines like 7.5k per hour
robust vapor
Yeah, T6. Still need the mining laser 😴
Yeah, and the bonus speed and the ship speed increases are still pathetic 😅
raw zenith
but is it lvl 30?
shrewd totem
But I do agree increase is small it is like 100 per hour per lvl
shrewd totem
It is just bad that I need to mine 12hours in warp 40 to do double
robust vapor
Yes. Level 30, they're designed to be painful at higher tiers I think.. am told it's 20 hours a day mining at max tier 😅
raw zenith
ugh
shrewd totem
And part drops are crap
raw zenith
i may keep mine t5 lol
shrewd totem
I need 40more bps for a second Dvor
robust vapor
Too long 😬 I bought 60 in an event store, only regret not getting them in the first one too..
shrewd totem
I also only got 60 and a few from armada packs
raw zenith
yea armada packs help
shrewd totem
I invested in Antares/Kvort bps in the first event store
robust vapor
I over thought it the first time, kicking myself ever since 😑
raw zenith
i want my packs to drop faction miner bps
shrewd totem
Lvl30
robust vapor
I want mine to drop a full set epic 😂
shrewd totem
Greedy!
raw zenith
they werent available in my last event store
shrewd totem
You need lvl29+ for faction miners
raw zenith
hopefully we get an event store with ship bps soon
shrewd totem
Lvl30 for them to be in armada packs
robust vapor
They're all level dependant, more reasons why I push level 😎
raw zenith
just hit 29. They were in my armada packs at 28
robust vapor
I'm going to test pike on swarm and go to bed. Night 🖖
raw zenith
but get 1 bps drop if i get them
pike is awesome against swarm paired with moreau and tlann
shrewd totem
I am getting ton of fac miner drops from armada packs and I have Kvort and Antares!
😡
raw zenith
gimme
shrewd totem
I have around 30 of each
robust vapor
But with my ships is the question! 😂
raw zenith
tell Panic to give me your bps Bats
shrewd totem
He makes your ship 2x stronger from what I have seen Order
raw zenith
with my sally I can kill 30+ lvl 30 swarms on a full hull
shrewd totem
And I can kill 12 without Pike
robust vapor
1.5 X 32's! 😂 I'll get there slowly..
north wraith
@robust vapor this is my Dvor. Tier 4, mines at a decent rate, latinum nodes go as data nodes, faster mining the further into faction space you go
Thats a regular node, not a 2x speed
worn hill
Please ye Gods of Scopely...continue the faction hunt!
nova valley
30 min early for my meeting with panic. any last second questions? i'm in my voice chat on my discord:
tawny coyote
@nova valley Yes. Can you ask why don’t we get a list of events for the month? Can they improve the monthly package? I’m lvl31 now I don’t need any grade 2 resources. Can they change it to include more grade 3 and add rare? Can we reduce the cool down of the refinery?
@nova valley thanks.

rapid sky
or bfg, 10 minute grind and it's done
shrewd totem
Sep is much easier IMO
rapid sky
or that lol, but haven't seen that in ages
rapid sky
domination by itself is pointless reward wise, so unless you haven't finished the borg event yet there's not much point to participate
well I don't have pike yet, and even if I did no way I can compete with all the 39s and their jellys
shrewd totem
You dont have to rank 1st,Top 25 is usually what I am ranking in sep lbs
rapid sky
don't think top 25 rewards was anything spectacular was it?
shrewd totem
Lat and some unc
abstract gate
Also depends on brackets...39's have been getting their own bracket recently
rapid sky
and besides, I wouldn't be surprised if we have 25 jellies on our server

Can be
But lvl39+ might get their own bracket as well like Dyspeptic said
Then I might try to rank in T10

hi all. through daily missions i unintentionally unlocked the borg mission (the one that costs 10 gadgets) but i'm only level 17 and its minimum is 25. i'm not likely to be able to upgrade to 25 very soon. my question is, do these missions remain available to my account, or will they expire once the event is over?

That’s all I have been found during these stupid domination crap

@gilded jungle should hang around until you are ready

No points for rares spent either...which my main buildings required to push 37 need...thanks scopely
tawny coyote
With so many thing event that can motivate player to play more we going to do another dominant event. @twilit imp
kind roost
all the domination events mean that they feel like there is more for players to enjoy at higher levels I think? Or possibly pushing so more players can pariticpate in upcoming events?
abstract gate
With their max lvl grey officers? 😂
Points for actually completing research and buildings is stupidly low compared to the ease of finishing the event with officer/ship xp
Nobody advances during dom they just dump xp into whichever officer is available and go watch Netflix
low forge
So now I finished the recon borg event........nothing happens!?
ashen wharf
Dyspeptic is right on that tbh

Cya tomorrow, I'm off to watch Netflix...

Dear scopely.. please throw strengthen your station event in the trash where it belongs. Thanks 🤣

@abstract gate dump xp and go watch netflix. Its exactly what I just did 🤣
Utter garbage way to finish off what has been a decent month long event.

Can they give me race to 33 event instead please 👀 .. that's what I'm sat here waiting for
abstract gate
^This... I could push ops to 36 right this second if I wanted to...but totally not worth the 80 uc crystal. Peanuts for rewards... Now if it was an Ops event to get Jelly BP's, i'd probably be buying multiple packs and pushing ops to 37
merry fulcrum
No, it's a good last minute effort for those who didn't get all the borg points
thin heart
Domination was easy ... quick officer upgrade for 3 levels lol.. borg done.. might as well mine and chill now 😴
bold girder
How? @merry fulcrum if you dont have the officers to put the xp into you're stuffed.
You certainly cant level enough buildings or complete enough research if you are one of the ones that hasnt hit Tier 10 yet.
thin heart
Ship xp? Use latinum?
pale kestrel
i barely do but needing badges now for most promotions and since can only get them once in a faction loyalty chest......
bold girder
Hes talking about mostly F2P players @thin heart they wont have the lat or.ship xp to do it.
thin heart
Yeah that's the sticking point I'm getting too now also.. need badges for most and only had 2 of each
Luckily had saved enough independent shards to tier Joaquin up in the week so just banged the officer xp from faction event on him
Most should have some xp unless they got excited and spent it straight away..
Smart play = save everything until an event needs it
abstract gate
Lets be real though... this place is for us to complain about event rewards and no one to actually care about it .. lol
thin heart
Haha true
bold girder
@abstract gate correct.
bold girder
If they actually cared, they would have done something good like a big Seperatist event to round the Borg month off.
merry fulcrum
@bold girder upgrade a defense platform
It gives the points, ive never been able to not do a domination event
And in free to play
bold girder
With what? @merry fulcrum my B'rel needs the Gas.
thin heart
Separatist event would have been decent to be fair
abstract gate
If you're F2P then this especially is a place for you to rant about event rewards, and for Scopely to not care about it even more(if that's possible lol)
thin heart
How do you all not have officer xp still from faction hunt?
I had 3Mil 😬
I'm F2P!
🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈
pale kestrel
it's not necessarily about not having officer xp than it is available officers to level for some. lol
bold girder
That's the point though @merry fulcrum "don't do the event" is a nonsense argument.
If you were really after getting people the Borg points to get over the line why would you lock it into an event that F2P or Pay to Play you "might" not actually be able to do.
abstract gate
I'm just speaking facts bro 😛 Scopely barely gives a crap about P2P.... what do you reckon they think about F2P? lol
thin heart
True LordAsp
abstract gate
At least they made the Borg event doable for F2P though
thin heart
Guess I was lucky with my timing
bold girder
Domination you can or cant do. You know instantly. Theres no chance to bag enough UC etc to get the points required in 24 hours unless you £££ up.
merry fulcrum
Or save up ahead of time

Yeah save everything hahs
merry fulcrum
Not hard
bold girder
@merry fulcrum wow ok. 🤣
I'll just not spend anything "just incase domination pops along"

I still have an officer to level in tomorrows although I no longer need BORG points and they're being wiped for BORG event 2

If you're F2P, and want a Jelly or Enterprise...then you should seriously put your Apple/Google sign in info, into your will...and pass the game down to your grandchilden to one day get that epic ship for you hahaha

pale kestrel
i just do some of the domination to help my alliance team
merry fulcrum
I knew domination was coming up 2 days agk

@thin heart yeah that would be fine if Scopley released a calendar

I save everything and only use xp or ship xp or tier officers ect when domination or other events require it
merry fulcrum
Follow patterns
thin heart
Yeah but they're usually a pattern
thin heart
17th Jan was last race event
merry fulcrum
Every faction hunt event has been follows by domination
thin heart
Once I hit 32 I should get that other event open for me..
merry fulcrum
Then stopped waiting, went to ops 20, then about 3 days into ops 20, the event started
merry fulcrum
No, i got all the rewards
They changed how the event works since the original version
jaunty sonnet
Where the heck are the options for spending rare G3? What a rip off.
@merry fulcrum It happened to me last time too which is why they have changed it.
thin heart
Good point
merry fulcrum
If you upgraded to ops 20 originally, if you didn't upgrade one of the main buildings yet, then you could upgrade it to get the max rewards
jaunty sonnet
Still, now that G4 is out is rare suddenly not good enough to get rewarded on?
merry fulcrum
So, i got 15 free kirk shards, with about 2mil parsteel, and 20 of each 3* uncommon 😊
thin heart
I dont get why at ops31 it even asks me to spend g4...
Spend it on what? Literally is only 1 or 2 research boxes that ask for it
And I cant even mine or find the stuff 😔

Timer on trophy exchange is back to it's bs setting...last bfg we got 2hrs grace tacked on so we stood a chance to maximise our thousands of trophies
turbid kayak
LOL - the logic makes no sense. The ALB offers alliance rewards for continuing to progress even if you've finished. The solo event is only related to an ALB in that they offer borg points as well. Has zero impact really.

elder gyro
Lol
abstract gate
The borg points in BFG aren't the sole reward, there's still incentive to do it?
turbid kayak
There is still incentive to do it. But alliance events also offer rewards like alliance credits. They're hard enough to get anyway - so why limit people further by omitting them.
abstract gate
There will be another event later, who knows what it'll be? 🤷♂️
turbid kayak
Now it's official? There will be another event later? You said earlier there might be another event.
shrewd totem
I said might because you never know
But yes there will be another event,just dont want to use will since anything can happen
turbid kayak
Sure. You guys don't make the decisions as scopely. Messengers shouldn't be shot.

Off with their heads!

Call to arms and megaminer event, i think...😂

US SERVER 008 WE are to get gold alliance trophies..... for what alliance event. Its not registering an alliance event.... Is this a bug/ glitch?
bleak pumice
@shrewd totem I got members refusing to do solo because no alliance showing up. 😜 Glad Im pushing the solo due to a suspicion of this
Ty for reply though 😎
shrewd totem
👍🏻
obtuse otter
Kill a few dozen weak hostiles for tokens and mats? That's just too much effort for me.
granite zenith
well those members refusing to do solo and cutting off thier noses to spite their own faces... cause there are rewards... and a chance to get officer shards/xp/credits
kind roost
I would love these events to reset at 8hrs or to have additional higher milestones. Event took 15 minutes. And I was already faction grinding so I didn’t have to change anything I wasn’t already doing
twin apex
Just a quick question, I finished the Borg event 2 days ago, the Borg points I gather now after, will it carry over to next arc?
fervent folio
no, all Borg points and the MS Tokens will go away, the only thing you keep are the epic tokens which will be able to be turned in at the end of the third arc
twin apex
Pitty, would have been nice
north wraith
@abstract gate are we gonna get Fractured Empire or Act of War as the final event tomorrow? Any heads up or rumor? (I would even take a lie 🤣)
fervent folio
Unknown as of yet, Panic did say we will be getting another event later today, but no further info has been given

I am betting it will be "spend time with your wife" and the points are based on how long you can stay logged out

Is there going to be another event

Supposedly.....

I'm looking at an alliance event with not enough valentine's day tokens for anything. 100 tokens required to do 1 recruit pack, and the top spot in the leaderboard is 5 tokens? Is this a joke?
ashen wharf
apparently not lol
frozen abyss
I guess this is a purchase-to-participate event.
frozen abyss
yes, but the rewards are 5 tokens out of the 100 that we need?
<@&509691205798592532> do we know if there is going to be a solo event showing up soon?
granite zenith
frozen abyss
That is about the 5 tokens thing, which I saw after my post. I'm wondering if there is going to be a solo component for it or if it's just the alliance event.
granite zenith
Alliance as per the tv in your station
ashen wharf
🤣
frozen abyss
My tv in the station doesn't say anything about this event.
granite zenith
It's a pay to win event...
ashen wharf
its not
frozen abyss
ashen wharf
you can kill hostiles
frozen abyss
I did just reset.
thin heart
granite zenith
Then you dont get to play... they obviously dont like you
thin heart
Also got that message
ashen wharf
frozen abyss
I'm not surprised.
I'll just go kill my reds and hide to the side, then.
I'm not spending $50-100 for a pack. I can kill hostiles fast enough to help my alliance.
granite zenith
Sure... but a pay to win event is ok ... they are a for profit compant
inner cave
No solo event for this ?
small hamlet
R they sure there wasnt a typo in this whole Borg thing as well? Extremely dissapointed by how few tokens have been available for that.
inner cave
@small hamlet the event is easily obtainable if you hit top tier. I didn’t buy any pack and have bee finished for a 3 days.
frozen abyss
Same for me. The Borg event just requires participating in every daily event.
and really all but 6 would do it, and the ones from the first week were the lowest in points
tawdry ermine
Can we please have you fix all your bugs before releasing new stuff to add more? Thanks
elder gyro
Thanks for screwing me scopley
merry fulcrum
@tawdry ermine that's not possible, because it's working as intended
elder gyro
How bout next time a days warning
solemn shard
Hey, at least scopely is screwing everyone in this alliance event. Go talk to each other and find out everyone in the alliance gets tiered rewards.
red gulch
ANOTHER EVENT THAT DOESNT WORK WTF
frozen abyss
Gaining shards means get them from recruit packs.
red gulch
Upgraded rare uhura twice and NOTHING for my efforts
solemn shard
I dont get the same rewards as lvl 34 players, and lvl 24 members get less than me. 💩💩💩
ashen wharf
leveling the officer isnt shards
frozen abyss
@red gulch that's not how it works.
ashen wharf
its getting shards from the box
solemn shard
@red gulch yes it's getting shards not levelling.
frozen abyss
You gain points by opening packs that contain those officers
red gulch
@solemn shard thx, it’s not explained very well. Gee getting ten shards...like that’s gonna happen
So you gotta spend...sigh
ashen wharf
or just kill hostiles
red gulch
Thx to all who replied
ashen wharf
can kill level 1's forever
merry fulcrum
I think you have to get shards, not upgrade them
fervent folio
yeah, so opening packs gets you points. People who buy lots of packs during this event will win it
errant blade
Where do I go to pull Zhou?
uneven wave
You buy the pack that has his shards in, I think it's the £47 pack
hardy parcel
So let me get this straight. For valentine's we get a pay to participate event with a lame alliance leaderboard? Wow. Love you too scopely
vestal wedge
not really a pay to play event, but rewards are not that great
also there is no solo event
hardy parcel
Well it is since the "event" is the valentine recruit and you can either buy them or win the leaderboard, which you need to recruit specific officers for.
Lame lame lame lame
coral salmon
when will there be an event level increase, and whether it will be at all
vestal wedge
meaning?
floral trail
Nah, I am not feeling the love in this event. The only officer from the packs I need is Zhou, all the others I can't upgrade due to lack of badges. Why would I spend for the chance of a full unlock only to not be able to use said unlock due to a lack of badges. Also, too many greens in the pool so not worth doing. If it was blues and purples, or greens not in the regular pool I might be tempted.
rapid sky
It's basically the same as premium recruit just with a double chance, also premium recruit can only give you full pull of either UC or rare
at least they included zhou, full pull or not that's the first time since the first event that had him that F2P has a chance of getting more shards
dark badger
How about allowing a SOLO event in this area. Unless a person is in a TOP 5 alliance, you are screwed. You can grind hostiles all day long but if you are in a small or lower than top 10 alliance, forgot about it. This 'event' is a freakin' joke. End of sentence.
fervent folio
You know, we just got a good event for F2P, and then a great cheap pack to go along with that event, and two more arcs to that event coming. Let the whales have an event, it doesn't hurt
I do admit though, if you have a wife/gf/signifigant other, this event is not likely good for you as if she/he finds out you spent a bunch on this event and not on them for Valentine's Day you'll be in BIG trouble
shrewd totem
🤣
fickle rampart
A slap or 2 in the place that hurts
fervent folio
"singles only" event, lol
rapid axle
Okay got a odd question here... If you have completed the Monthly "Borg Reconnaissance" event, will the Battle for Glory Solo Event that dropped about 10 minutes ago count towards the next Borg Arc or be useless for any future Borg?
fervent folio
no, you will lose all borg points and MS Tokens when the event ends and the new event will start fresh. The only thing you carryover are the Epic Borg Tokens which will be able to be turned in at the end of the third arc
rapid axle
@fervent folio thanks ...
junior mica
Ugh.. I'm going to be short exactly 630 Borg points from completing the last Borg Reconnaissance event reward...
daring glen
That’s A LOT of rss to leave.
granite zenith
@junior mica ... complete the events... there have been reports of "phantom" points appearing while completing the milestones
nova valley
spending 20 bucks?lol
north wraith
I managed to get all events done but 1 mining milestone, still finished F2P with 5 days to spare
nova valley
good job @north wraith woooooot
north wraith
Yeah... Was hell of a grind since day 1
Alliance positions also helped kick the score a bit
livid fog
@loud solar do you know how long event store stays open?
shrewd totem
@junior mica you should blame yourself for that.A lot of F2P players did finish event by completing most of the events during Arc 1
delicate moth
Wow, break it gently why not bats 🤣
junior mica
LOL... the bat is right... I should have spent more time grinding away at this event instead of spending time with my kids.

jaunty sonnet
@barren night What does your post in the announcements mean regarding tokens being multiplied by 100? Because the customer support team is still saying it is being applied as intended.
granite zenith
well as much as i am lothe to say it @junior mica , your only option seems to be at this point, the $20 pack in the store to hit the final milestone...
jaunty sonnet
shrewd totem
You misunderstood it
granite zenith
pretty sure the 100x was the valentine tokens
jaunty sonnet
Could you explain please?
shrewd totem
It used to give 1/2/3/4/5 V day tokens instead of 100/200/300/400/500
Only for tokens not other stuff
granite zenith
and that is what was corrected
shrewd totem
Yep
jaunty sonnet
Ahh fair enough. So we still need to spend over 23,000 uncommon or rare resources to get any chance of the 400 uncommon crystal and 40 rare crystal rewards at my level. Love the conversion rate on effort:reward here guys.
radiant galleon
I’ve gotten more rare crystals than uncommon crystals in the refinery (I got 3 rare ). That’s the only uncommon or rare I’ve gotten for the 2 weeks I’ve been level 20.
For me, the Valentines Day event rewards 0 tritanium. Yet it offers 950K + 2 one million tokens & 20,000 diluthium (which I don’t mind). Also, there’s no uncommon materials, which kinda stinks.
graceful mauve
Sounds about right
Is there more to the event seems like slowly the event is being put out there
abstract gate
There gonna be a slb or alb armada event?
graceful mauve
One just popped up in event section, kinda partially did then checked back and it was more added.
abstract gate
All I see are these 2
I kno they like to do weird stuff with armada events.. like not start all of them the same time
granite zenith
alliance ones starts tomorrow
proud solar
When will they understand? If nobody buying directives... Armada events be broken, no uncoms to be found, 20 min in..., just too expensive to play to pay for rares & forget about epics... 🤦🏻 You really need to fix this situation, $copely 👀 👀 👀
You can do the math, 2&1/2 rares or 1&1/2 epics... Just not seeing a return on $ spent, chance at bpsyou can't use(most probably) & some uncoms my refinery will deliver, later rather than sooner, but free... Really needs some tweeking, this freaking shamozzle we call armadas 🤦🏻
tiny wraith
Yep. Armadas are badly designed. Rare and epics gives small amount of credits and when one needs 5k credits to open only one rare chest, it doesn’t makes any sense dropping money on those packs.
full furnace
I'm confused. I bought the pack to get the Borg mission tier shields. I've completed everything but need two shields for the last tier. Why isn't there an event to get those going on?
robust vapor
The 10th is included in the event and the pack, if you did everything and bought the pack you should have had 2 of them? No chance you didn't redeem without realising? Did you start from the right and work left? 😅
full furnace
I started with MS 1. 10 is not redeemable. Others in my alliance are in the same quandry.
I posted in two places hoping a moderator would see one faster.
robust vapor
Well you can try raising a ticket then. But I didn't notice any issue getting mine, so the issue is not that the event and pack don't include them 🤔
abstract gate
Is it possible to get the initial armada cores to build the control center without paying real money?
vague vessel
Yes. Have someone who already has the armada center built take you along on uncommon armadas and redeem the uncommon armada credits for the cores in the alliance store.
abstract gate
What if no one in your alliance has the bloody building...
robust vapor
🤔 visit another alliance that's willing to help you out, then you can go back and start Armadas for your alliance?
abstract gate
Ugh....
