The key is really finding traders. I have a strong Vidar and can get 510 points per trip
But even someone with a small vidar can kill traders and pass me
This is probably the most "fair" event we've had so far
abstract gate
Except all it's achieved is to have every system perma-camped by half a dozen players in each.
Just another time sink to keep us treading water and distracted from the total lack of variety
silent current
Well the main thought of the actual events wasn’t that bad the rewards are really awesome but just a drop on a hot stone how it‘s released. My strategy as a f2p player is be active grind as much as you can to do the best and become rewarded. this time my strategy totally failed and I keep my stuff to go my way and take my time without a rush the rewards are not worth it anyway

<@&509691205798592532> any idea when we will see another "Race to Operations" event?

@topaz burrow - the Mod Team is not given insight into event scheduling, unfortunately. We can mention that players have inquired about it, though.
dense lantern
Anyone ops level 32 able to tell me what their Heroic threat from beyond targets are? What level swarm gives 20 points, and how many points do you need for the last reward?

@topaz burrow nah...hope for more!...expect far less

The borg probe event is ridiculous. A single trader is worth 100 level 29s. Talk about a game of chance. 💩
jaunty sonnet
<@&509691205798592532> Could you ask Scopely nicely to not fix the bugs that benefit players before fixing those that mean we spend money to get something that doesn’t do what it says in the first place? Prioritise making sure what they say they are offering (100% chance of hull breach with tier four Gorkon) is ACTUALLY what we get instead of fixing the Gaila bug that meant critical hits did 0 damage in armadas.
shrewd totem
Gaila will work against normal hostiles,red ones
Dont think Moreau works in that crew as well
halcyon wind
Do we have a list of some of the event requirements by level? Not the common ones, but like the kill faction hostiles, etc. Looking to upgrade OPS a few levels...
jaunty sonnet
@shrewd totem Max Gaila with a pike and Moreau crew used to make critical hits cause 0 damage
Not any more though
shrewd totem
🤔
jaunty sonnet
Scopely has fixed a bug that allowed players to beat stronger armadas but a simple fix of making sure that the right stats were being promoted on an upgrade is still incorrect. Their priorities are at odds with good customer experience
dreamy hearth
AAaaaaaannnnnnd I'm still stuck on the "Against All Odds" mission 3/7. The only thing I can think of that I haven't done is to uninstall and reinstall the app. Scopely, in their minuscule amount of "guidance", has not yet suggested this, but I fear at this point if I do unstall the app, it just might not get reinstalled. 😢

Do the ferengi transports only spawn once every 5 days? from the look of the leaderboard and chat with players only one has ever spawned.
dapper drum
I've gotten 6 since they were introduced
claimed 2 in the refinery and both times got a whopping single transwarp cell
carmine lily
where do they spawn? been looking in every system from 25 to 29, they simply don't appear.
only person who's gotten one was in a 30
carmine lily
they do not, if they did the leaderboard would have far more than 1000 points at the top.
dapper drum
leaderboard is bracketed
people are camping the sytems, once they kill one they check back every hour
carmine lily
lvl 28-39? that's not a bracket, that's 90% of the population.
dapper drum
31-34 in my leaderboard
carmine lily
they better be cancelling ferengi mondays for this, cuz those handful of people are going to be the only ones able to mine there and the leaderboard will be loaded more than usual.
dapper drum
you assume people are actually getting useful items from the 5 day refinery
I've claimed 2 both were single transwarp cells
not the rare latinum ones
jaunty sonnet
Nope. They are pretty frequent for me.
I’ve refined twice and gotten tritanium and dilithium tokens. I’ve two in my Vi’Dar in Borg space to add to the pot too
@carmine lily
carmine lily
then our server is bugged, they haven't spawned since the first day.
shrewd totem
They spawn every 4h+
You guys probably miss them and they disappear after a while like scouts so you need to wait 4h again
carmine lily
multiple people sitting waiting in every single system asking where and when they spawn and we're missing them? I don't think so.
just one more bug to add to the list.
knotty birch
I’ve gotten 3 since the start now. Get one within a couple hours of looking around. Not too hard to find really, but can miss somebody hitting one then it’s 4-6 hours per respawn.

@bleak shoal have you tried returning to your station, not all of the events count as you collect. Alternatively restart your game, sometimes the counters get stuck.
halcyon patio
@jaunty sonnet So what is their cd, 4-5h or less?

The long respawn timer coupled with the fact that they get chased down and killed within seconds is the reason you've not seen any. 3-4hr respawn and they are visible for less than a minute
gleaming ore
Hi, can anyone tell me how this works? I have the BB ready for T9 so I have already collected and spent I think at least 200 rare plutonium
shrewd totem
dont spend them
exotic hare
This is mad. I’ve had 9 Latinum antiques. I’ve used 2 and only got normal transwarp cells back. There is a massive cool down. I have 7 left if I can only refine 1 every 6 days, that means I will be able to refine 3 more until the end of the event.
I do hope we can still refine what we have collected. With how long the cool down is the drop rate should at least be 50/50 so you at least get 1 epic every 12 days.
Can’t believe my luck with them :/
abstract gate
Yeah we're actively gathering and forwarding feedback on this. It's not too great. 😅
exotic hare
Either I’m really unlucky or the epics are too hard to get 😂
abstract gate
Nope, plenty of us in the same boat.
hardy parcel
Is there any point to the special transwarp tokens? Just latinum mines and hostiles dropping raw latinum?
Seems extremely pointless to me.
Only reward worth having is the resource tokens. What a daft system
gleaming ore
D'oh! 🙈 so I have to spend other credits just because I was impatient...😭 Thnx @shrewd totem
shrewd totem
yeah
@hardy parcel that is also what I think
rss tokens are great but prob chance of getting them is low
exotic hare
For me it’s just been able to refine what I’ve collected and not have them go to waste. I mean the rewards are not too great but not been able to use what you have collected is worse 🤞
pliant skiff
I'd love to refine too from ferenghi traders however I still have yet to see one. And I've spent alot of time in Borg space! The spawning rate is ludicrous
hardy parcel
Spawn rate is too low and refine cooldown is too long and most of the rewards are pointless.
Just skip it. If it wasn't for this event I wouldn't even bother at all. But one trader is worth 100 level 29s which is ridiculous too.

If the raw lat from hostiles counted towards lat Monday event they might be more appealing to stalk but as it stands rn there's no benefit that outweighs the tedium of farming them

We have people that have been sat in the same system since lb started just waiting to pounce lol...it's really sad and I can only hope NOT how scopely saw this playing out
Adjustments need to be made...adding a special transwarp coil to 30day loyalty box would be a good start and maybe a lat antique to the 7day
Just spitballing
Content has changed a lot since they were last updated (d'vor bp's in the 30day box was last one iirc)
shrewd totem
Yeah for ISS Jelly would make sense to get 4g at around lvl36-39

Yep 😉
Still holding out hope that the epic reward at the conclusion of borg stuff will be a seperatist style event store to spend regular and epic borg tokens
Bp's, shards, materials and rss
abstract gate
If they think some poxy avatar will satisfy the community after a 3 month slog they are sorely mistaken
They (panic in q&a) said they were looking at ways to allow us to use the 675k+ borg points we will have cluttering up our inventories
A sep style event store would be ideal imho
uneven wave
I just want to see one 😂😭
And when can we spend these epic Borg tokens? It said during act 3
shrewd totem
At the end of Arc 3

I'm hoping for an event store.
But I'm expecting some crappy chest with avatar or officer shards. Probably less than we need for the officer too.

Thank you, looking forward to the disappointment

Literally nobody asked for avatars in this format, if that's our "epic" reward for a 3 month marathon of bs there's gonna be a riot

Getting them has been okay for me I have 7 of them and I’ve refined 2 to get 2 normal transwarp cells.
Now I’m left with 7 to refine and only enough time to refine 3 if the refinery goes away when the event does.
I don’t go to borg space and wait I click around from L29 to L32 just viewing they systems until I spot one then I go for it!
raw zenith
The refinery should stay after event ends.

That’s great. At least we get to try using the ones we have collected. 👍

unless im mistaken it will be permanent. if not feel free to offer me to the scopely gods as a sacrifice 🤣

they should make the avatars and frames give a buff of some sort. Like increase dmg by 5% or something.

Hey @abstract gate 👍
abstract gate
Europe had DST yesterday. Of course, it's an hour later than last Monday. Just be patient.
No it's been this way since Americans had their dst shift so don't expect it to change until they revert to winter time in 5 months
True, but the last few weeks lat Monday would have started half an hour ago (as far as time goes). But since last Sunday it starts in 30 mins. Same applies to reputation events, btw.
Time is linear only the clocks have changed....it's a 24hr cycle nothings actually changed since Sunday except our arbitrary delineation of time

Aww man, we couldn’t cancel latinum rush just once?

@severe bridge it is? Oooh I misread 🤣. My bad.
Then all good, borg Decius would be very nice to get.

like i said borg Decius was a guess. But they have now offered two of the borg officers through events that are easily completeable (with Vi'Dar)

I would agree it is a guess with borg Decius. Let us see and hope.

You need to kill borg probes with a borg officer on the vidar for max points, as you need vidar to get to borg space and get transwarp cells you will probably not see the event @tardy ether

Yet another lovely day with Scopely. This morning 2 x Gailas in an armada made CRIT damage zero. This afternoon the same reduces it but not by the same amount. Clearly they can make changes fast if they need to. If it benefits them to do so.

GREAT NEWS. I logged in today and was FINALLY able to get past the "Against All Odds"!!! WAHOOOOOO. But then get the same error on "Unrelenting" 3/5 where you have to recall again. Surprise surprise. Another ticket to Scopely opened. More time lost on events.
Thanks for getting my hopes up and then crushing then Scopely. 👍 👍

I’m level 29, How can I compete against a level 38 in the officer rank event, how stupid....
I’ve never seen him on our rank events, normally i only ever rank against up to level 30s
earnest hornet
Yeah i know, I don’t often do rank events, but that wasn’t so much the point but that I’m level 29, and have never had over level 31s in our rank events,
shrewd totem
I have 17m officer exp right now and havent spend $$ on officer stuff yet
So with some grinding/doing events,possible to win that ranked event but real question is do you have enough badges/credits?
modest oyster
Monitor each event and don't commit until it gets closer to the end.
merry fulcrum
Not possible beating a level 38 who upgrades a defense platform to level 38 as a level 29, and remember, when people do those events they tend to be in it to win it @shrewd totem
That's why it needs to be tightened up
@earnest hornet all ranked limited time events from level 28+ you'll be competing with 39s, idk how far into the 40s that band is, but I did have a research event where someone level 40 or 41 had 1mil in the event
shrewd totem
We are talking about officer ranking event not building one
So what does a defense platform has to do with this?
modest oyster
Different event type, but for station event it's relative competition. What people always forget is timing.
If you want to win, wait until the end and be strategic.
Yes, it's not easy to beat a higher level or higher spend. But half the time people are not playing very intelligently or strategic.

Looks like event scoring is variable again. I have 92k borg points for this arc and my alliance mate has 101.6k.

Well i also have 101,6 so you had to miss some points
abstract gate
Nah it's the swarms. Happened last arc too

I have 91k because 1k did not register in the first couple of hours after the update due to server lag (so should have 92k). I have not missed any events.

@dreamy hearth well my ticket was quick this time and they autocompleted ‘Unrelenting’. Makes me wonder why it took 5+ days and 2 tickets on ‘Against all odds’. BUT it just happened again on the next return to station borg mission.

nova sierra
swarm is tedious
solemn sequoia
good trit good officer shards good mats
nova sierra
still tedious
solemn sequoia
Well its like 85% of this game
so why are you playing it
If you dont like smacking reds
👀
nova sierra
Raiding 🙂
solemn sequoia
oh dont worry you eventually cant do that either
nova sierra
seriously though....
-Raiding is fun, but it has been made harder to do
-Mining is tedious, but I don't mind, since when I'm at work, I can't really do anything else anyway
-Smacking reds... Don't mind it, but Swarms are just more tedious than regular red swatting. 15 32s per run, 2 points each, need 365 points for heroic...
solemn sequoia
I'm speaking to more of the physical limitations of raiding at higher levels
Cargo ships are flat out not big enough to make raiding anything worth your time after a while
That limit will be a bit different for everyone
Like level 40 needs around 50 billion parsteel
Capped faction miners do about 3m per load
Thats about 50 hours straight non stop of raiding to get that
IF your sever can come even close to supporting that
nova sierra
I get what you're talking about... the 40+ on our server still seem to like rading though
solemn sequoia
4* ships dont even surpass that 3m cargo count until like t6-t7
Its probably just a leaderboard thing at that point
top RSS raided after over a year is 10b on my server
so yea, its kind of annoying that even that cant get you any real progress anymore
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$44
nova sierra
top on mine is 13.5 billion
solemn sequoia
Unless someone has an extra zero tagged onto either of those numbers
still kind of dissapointing
😂
13.5 billion parsteel is like all of level 37
but only level 37
dapper bloom
18B on my server. He is lvl 41
dapper drum
16.9b > 13.3b > 10.2b is top 3
sharp ibex
kinda guessed we would have swarms today 😛
teal jackal
Res raided stats are also messed up. Check your numbers when you are actually raiding. You only get between 40-45% of what you take into your res raided score.
It's worse than power destroyed which seems to hover around 15-20% of the displayed ship power.
dapper drum
power destroyed is the power the player loses when that ship is destroyed
1m ship is around 200k avg add to overall power
give or take 25k depending on class and type
the RSS raided I haven't figured out what it considers null because it varies in percent
maybe there are more then 1 type of RSS molecules in the game like anti-matter, dark matter, dark energy
and all RSS is made up of less than what we see
or logically this is probably the most correct theory,
"scopely math"
novel jasper
They need to eliminate the power destroyed when attacking miners...
And isn’t power destroyed a sum of the hull damage dealt? Same as boss event, the amount of damage is only the damage against a hull?
Also why did the Azetbur recruit disappear when we have an aquir Azetbur ALB?
dapper drum
its still there
teal jackal
DarkPrince, I am wondering if there is a certain percentage based on the type of res you are taking
I started collecting numbers but when I realized I would have to calculate a 3 integer calculus (or algebra?) problem I gave up. 🤣

was borg coin and epic borg coin

Every swarm event tied to borg some of us get extra points
robust vapor
And just like last time, the swarm events are giving some of us extra points. And just like last time there'll be people who don't have those extra points and your "correct" total will have them thinking they're missing something they've earned and making complaints to CS again 🙄
abstract gate
Led to some unlocking vidar a day early last arc
dapper drum
but why did they rename them to points instead of coins
now can't correct people calling them points by habit
abstract gate
Reasons
robust vapor
Maybe because of people being silly like that.. but what it's called is less important than how the event scores, which would be 1 per whatever name they want to give the token 🤷♂️
abstract gate
My understanding was that stuff like that was used by the game as a progress tracker for events, missions etc...if it is it ain't working on any level
So let's say there is no way of knowing how many points it would be correct to have now 😁
104k is max legit points you should have atm without purchases
123.2k if swarms were generous to you

My Kvort can mine 17k cry per hour but not lvled and didnt do that much mining research so I think I would be around 20kish when maxed research and lvl of my ship.It is T6(lvl23)

Those 7 extra lvls on your ship ability will make a lot of difference
split sequoia
smash someone off a 25k zero node and plant miner on it timed for daily reset
lolol
clock it in as soon as reset
shrewd totem
Yeah but I am lazy so lvl up my ships with lat
Spend around 7k lat on Franklin yesterday 😅
Need to restock lat then lvl up Kvort
abstract gate
Got kvort and antares t5 with t6 lasers and valkis is flat t4 atm
shrewd totem
@split sequoia I fall asleep when doing dailies 🤣
Nice.I am trying to upgrade my Antares but need cry 😭
abstract gate
Research is lagging behind a little due to the usual uc crunch
Mostly pushing for shipyard 39 and jf...once there I'll sit and catch up my miners and stuff
Dailys are easy enough with what I have so no need to plough more crystal into them rn
robust vapor
I'd still be looking to max mine out for better mining of G4 when I get to 39+, hopefully this year 😬
abstract gate
Have you seen what you need to get to 39? Trust me if you're maxing your miners first 39 is next year at best 😂
abstract gate
Idd @split sequoia
split sequoia
save the mats for whatever else
abstract gate
Also I dunno when your dailys reset but for me it's 6am lol...no way I'd get up 4am to hunt 0nodes just to finish instantly lol
split sequoia
ahhh
then my time is prob the best one
12 noon
so i wake up at 8-9 , find node , set it for reset at 12 and clock in
abstract gate
Finding a free node is never a problem even during events so I'm in no hurry...I got all day to do dailys after all...it's right there in the name
Normal mining events are 2.5mil points and lat Monday is 2.9mil (because scopely)...750k from dailys then I just hit the lat...lb's are too much micromanaging for me to care about
abstract gate
You have to do more for lat Monday? 😶 It's the other way around for me. 1M on Monday and 1.5M for Mega Miner
Yeah at 36+ it leaps from 1.6mil to 2.9...
Still doable if you have a couple of good miners and a d'vor...little more laborious without a d'vor but still achievable
robust vapor
Eh, I broke 10m in the last solo and I've got pretty meh ships 😂
abstract gate
I can get up around 10mil too but I straight up can't be bothered lol
robust vapor
My fastest faction miner is about your slowest 😬
I did get a little mean in this one though 👼
abstract gate
I don't hit miners so bonus points for opc lat is off the table for me. I usually finish in the top 20 with 4-6mil just doing my normal non-event routine
ashen copper
Scopely, you can't be serious with this? These are the "rewards" from the Battle of Glory event for a lvl 11. You have to kill 300 low level hostiles or 60 high level hostiles (lvl 15+ is high level for a lvl 11 player). The Prime real estate and research dailes alone gives 22K steel and 600 dil. This is really a bad joke. You should show some respect to us players in that bad times, like other gaming companies do!!
dapper drum
stop sitting at level 11
abstract gate
Just be glad you don't have to do swarms
ashen copper
it's not my account. Swarms are easy, iam lvl 32 🙂
robust vapor
You don't even need to really do anything to hit 20 🤷♂️
Hostile powers are pretty close at lower levels though, what crew you running? 🤔
ashen copper
i am complaining about an event that gives 21 dil as an reward. That's a joke!
abstract gate
No that's a punchline
robust vapor
Eh, it's level 11 and mostly for the borg. Though at 11 he won't they won't get all the stuff anyway 😬
abstract gate
And even if he got more he'll just lose it all 10min5secs after hitting lvl15 anyway
ashen copper
sure, but it's still an event and the rewards should be worth doing the event. No matter what level
the 2* mining systems are almost empty on my server. There are not much low level players. That's not a good sign for the future of the game
abstract gate
Event rewards improve as you achieve higher lvl's for a reason....that reason being $'s
robust vapor
Borg points aren't worth it? 😶 I'll deny it if asked later, but I'd do the swarm heroic just for the borg points 🤫
How much does 11 need though? I remember being low level, had too much Dil before they made it even easier 😅 higher levels you need heaps because your production and storage don't keep pace, so event resources are more important.
They tend to close servers off too, so always a lack of low levels after a while.
abstract gate
I rarely hit a progress roadblock before lvl18 and that was pre release when events were either non-existent or utter 💩
ashen copper
Borg points are good with the prem reward pack, yes. And for the vidar, the mision keys, etc. Don't think a lvl 11 can use this
robust vapor
I had an alt after they made it easier, literally can hit 20 without even mining, or really much of anything 😂
abstract gate
Forgotten what lvl your first g3 ship is but around there I hit a rss roadblock for the first time
robust vapor
Can he get the Vi'Dar BP at 11?
Level 20 for first kehra btw, though I guess NS is earlier if you get that?
abstract gate
Was pre release so no ns back then...no events either really
We had a daily alliance hostile hunt milestone event and that was pretty much it
robust vapor
🤔 sounds fun. Would have been great for my dead starting alliance 😅
abstract gate
Rewards were a pittance of recruit tokens iirc
robust vapor
Yeah, I wasn't that far back, but they've added a lot and increased everything since I started too.
ashen copper
what level are you now, Dyspeptic?
robust vapor
I remember farming steel miners to meet my building requirements, now sub 20 it fits in your warehouse anyway 🙄 weak.
abstract gate
For newer players the game definitely has a lot of issues but for us old timers it's actually improved many times over...still plenty of room for improvement ofc
ashen copper
that's true
abstract gate
Cough event calendar cough
ashen copper
new players have to deal with so much stuff now. augments, latinum, borg,.. was much simpler when i was "young"
abstract gate
Aye there's that too...but that's true of any long running mmo type game
Most of the newer stuff is spaced out from lvl17 to 25 though so it's still a fairly linear experience.
shrewd totem
@ashen copper I have a second account and that BfG isnt difficult at all
It takes 10mins to repair a ship at that lvl and if you kill lvl11-12s you can do it easily.Will take a few hours at max
ashen copper
thats why i postet it,..a few hours of work for 21 dil 😂
shrewd totem
About rewards those are more than enough for a lvl11
Main rewardcisnt dil in that event
It is parsteel and borg points
@robust vapor you can get Vidar bps even at lvl1 if you can do the events
robust vapor
@shrewd totem did they change it then? Borg FAQ for arc 2 says you need to level 16 to get them?
shrewd totem
Well that was Arc 2 so probably yes
robust vapor
So they can now get 50 BP? 😂
raw zenith
👀
abstract gate
Can't build it before 25 anyway so who cares...
robust vapor
Well it makes a difference if you're unable to get the BP, be like the Franklin with everyone lately needing to buy it if they want it
ashen copper
interesting. but why is there a minimum level to collect the bp? It doesent hurt to have bp for ships you can build later
elfin meteor
The point counter in the main arc3 event is not working as is should
I had 40200 points to go after the last swarm event it should have dropped by only 3200 point, instead it drop by 9000 points
ashen copper
the calculations in the game are messed up since the september update with the power gain. I reported it often, but never got an response. You will have a different amount of march borg points in your items than in the event. But i don't complain as long it is to our advantage 😂
raw zenith
@ashen copper just the way it has been done. Initial Northstar event allowed lvl 15 to get bps in event. They then increased it. I was luck and got it at 15.

Anyone know what will be the event coming after swarm?

So the mission tree that was released today has a mission that requires you to return the tribbles back to your base. Anyone wanna guess what happened when I recalled my ship?
Yup, NOTHING. Why can't Scopely fix their stuff? Yes I tried the "workarounds" and Yes I opened another ticket with CS.
Anyone else have this glitch with every "recall" mission since the Borg release?

I have had to submit a ticket for every borg mission that require a recall to station. @dreamy hearth. I think I’m on my 5th ticket in the borg mission. Haven’t gotten that far with new Tribble mission.
They have been manually completing... so it’s a slow painful explanation and wait.

Scopely is essentially promoting an extremely unhealthy playsyle at literally the worst possible time
I skipped few of those 3h ones. But 6h did once so far and one 12h
120k tribbles
Meanwhile, there are people with 200-300k already in ldb

No wait
Didn't do 12h one
Did twice 6h

See, lack of sleep is bad for me.

It's sickening on so many levels to release an event like this at this time. Tone deaf
Meh, gives people something to do
Except red grinding
And it's not pay to win
Which I adore
Interrupted sleep patterns can compromise your immune system. Not to mention the tone deaf nature of an event featuring an exponential growth of an infestation....
Any other time I'd be more or less on board with it but rn it just leaves a foul taste in the mouth tbh

You can tell by the fed symbol, just a regular fed mission. I was stuck on that one for a while until I could upgrade my sally.
thin heart
Tribble RNGesus is cruel...
Not missed one refine yet.. but people managed to role 100k more 😑
Who needs sleep anyway
velvet crypt
unreal osprey
so close
thin heart
I've gone from 1st to 80th
Not missed a single refine still
To win would be pure luck... not effort
long arrow
What event after Latinum Rush guys
robust vapor
@long arrow they run in pairs, so latinum rush again I'd say? Remembering the first latinum rush was the regular one, this is the first with borg points, so another should follow by the pattern 🤔
Also another day on the alliance event 🤫
floral trail
Lat rush and mining again would be my assumption
dapper drum
latinum rush was not the event
mega miner was
they gave latinum solo and alliance leaderboards instead of megaminer leaderboards
modern estuary
opening 3 tribble chest for 100 gives negative results sometimes
i tried opening 3 chests costs me 100 got 97 back
dapper drum
stop pissing off romulan jesus then
dull pagoda
My tribble mission disappeared after a couple locations, was same with house of borg
winged light
@twilit imp pls let’s get ‘rush-to-ops’ event
earnest citrus
@dull pagoda If your tribble mission stopped at Narenda, that's it, you've completed the chain. If your Borg mission finished after Part 7, and you completed the event 'The Third Act' then you've done them all there too.
mental yoke
Two days of mega mining for borg event is too much. Can’t spend two days all day mining/tending miners/fighting to keep nodes. This will likely be the first borg event I won’t finish solo since they started.
noble oar
You must play on a bad server/have a bad reputation if this is a hard event for you
I'm still baffled at people thinking a random as f LB is a good idea
tender cedar
Another mining event, thanks Scopley for another useless event lol
unkempt breach
REEEEEEE
Borg nanites accompany the native cells and construct macroscopic implants, but do NOT affect the native genome or produce any actual cells that would be replicated in asexual reproduction. 🤓
storm token
Has anyone mentioned the difficulty of this event?
unreal osprey
dificult level RNG XD
storm token
Like... If we all participate are we supposed to be okay and get the tribble, or is this event a waste of time and the only way to get the tribble is dropping a few hundred bucks
unreal osprey
you need maybe 100k of tribles for the chest of 10of10
maybe less i cant see
and with the trible boxes you can get some shards
dreamy hearth
Any idea when/ if Scopely is planning on having another even where D'Vor BP's are rewards?
abstract gate
@tender cedar there's enough leeway baked into the event that you can likely skip or only partially complete mega miner and still hit 225k....there's been a mega miner in all 3 arcs
@mental yoke 👆
tender cedar
@abstract gate I know it that, I was talking in general, I find them useless, both in rewards and having to sit and watch them for various reasons
abstract gate
Yeah tagged the wrong guy...trying to get my infant son to sleep and posting at same time....failing at both
tender cedar
@abstract gate all good, I am feeling the same but with a 2 and 6 year old lol
abstract gate
Tbh I treat mining events as a day off...just do my dailys then park everything on lat...even with a 2.9mil top milestone it's easy
tender cedar
For me I am just not wanting to fight for a node and as I don't have a dvor folks on my server take umbridge to envoys and horizons mining lat lol
abstract gate
Lvl38 with a crappy d'vor and 3 decent faction miners...also a relatively civil server
tender cedar
I find that Alliance leaderbords ruin most events as unless your a member of an alliance full of top players you have no hope of winning or even placing
abstract gate
Leaderboards in general suck. The worst offender is the data mining event lb...
abstract gate
Well the worst is this tribble rng bs but it's a one off...
tender cedar
Odd for sure
abstract gate
No reward for effort just pure dumb luck. It's only redeeming feature is no p2w
Yet...
tender cedar
Yup but I do feel like I am accomplishing something as I am getting Tribble borg shards lol
Once I fighured out the borg Tribble refinery thing
abstract gate
Didn't get enough for second tier refine on first pull so I'm just in it for the recruit box at the end...
tender cedar
Lol me too
nova valley
yeah i feel like if you didn't get an opportunity to pull the medium refinery on the very 3 minutes of the event, you're behidn the 8 ball on this one.
i'm in 160th place LMAO
and i hate that. cause i'm NOT generally a 160'th place player HAHAHA
tender cedar
I think they should just scrap the ALBs and all events be solo
abstract gate
Rn 160th is an aspirational goal...
nova valley
lol
waxen vault
How come my inventory doesn’t show the same number of tribbles as the event tally?
odd nova
Because you have spent some tribbles to buy food. The event counts the number you have received, not the number you have remaining
kindred gorge
An unofficial event on server 155 a big thanks to our health care workers 👏👏👏
teal jackal
@noble oar I like this leaderboard for a change. The whales are on a complete equal footing with everyone else. It still requires paying attention to your timers. At least now it gives EVERYONE an equal chance at the top prize.
noble oar
Equal footing events are nice to be sure.
but total randomness not so much
and depending on your timezone you sure had a benefit too
teal jackal
I had to wake up at 3am to refine....Not really an advantage
I'm not saying ALL events should be like this, or even most. But it's a fun and refreshing change for a one-off
dreamy root
Kinda sucks that the avatars are RNG based
Wish I could spend so many tribbles to unlock it.
halcyon kindle
Heya can anyone help me? I just conpleted the mission Precursor and thus the 3rd milestone of the mission event, but for the 4th I need to complete a mission called The House of Borg Part 7. However I did not receive any follow up mission.
LCARS tells me, If I understand correctly, I should be given a follow up quest called Proving Grounds, but that did not happen, nor can I pick it up in Xerxes.
Can someone help me how to go from where I am at?
tender cedar
@halcyon kindle it is a side set of missions you get when you have reached the reward level that gives you 320 keys to use in the gift section
Just like the other born mission lines
halcyon kindle
Ah ok side missions, weird they are required in an event to complete it then, will prolly not be able to as I am not near to getting the milestone completed to unlock and finish the side missions before the event timer runs out
robust vapor
Don't post the same question in multiple channels..
barren night
Plus all the other rewards...
dreamy root
Sucks for the people who joined half way through and will get nothing
graceful shard
Are they going to open a store to spend these borg points or should I just stop doing events when I hit the last milestone?
jaunty sonnet
<@&509691205798592532> anyone on atm?
meager galleon
What’s up Praetor
jaunty sonnet
Latinum rush event not recognising the latinum I have mined in my points. Again.
south arrow
Scopley said collect epic borg tokens for a great gift just a joke to see what they think a great gift is 🤣
meager galleon
@jaunty sonnet only thing I can say to that is that sort of thing is usually down to lag. Wait a while and then relog. If you still believe it’s not counted any you’ll have to raise a ticket to support as we have no in game powers
jaunty sonnet
Thanks mate, will do.
meager galleon
If more reports come in about lag we can look to raise an issue about servers but so far I’ve only seen this
Hopefully it’s just delay 🙂
jaunty sonnet
It is galling because I bought the packs needed for Ten of Ten only to find out his ability wasn’t working so I finished 200k points behind third place and now my points aren’t always being counted so getting screwed again.
teal jackal
no.
neat plover
Whats in the unique borg systems? I got 3 special warp tokens?
robust vapor
@neat plover lat mines and ships with lat cargo
neat plover
Thanks so send the vidar or regular warship?
fickle summit
neat plover
Ok thanks
dreamy root
I better be able to buy ten of ten or something
south arrow
You can’t fully buy him only 60 shards
carmine lily
This isn't fair footing at all, the RNG clearly favors the whales. the same people who always win every leaderboard are still winning this one.
And by the way, a leaderboard based on a RNG is NOT a leaderboard, it's a lottery.
stray wadi
@fickle summit define strong survey ship. What kind of power?
woven lily
BRING BACK SHIP XP EVENTS!!
teal jackal
@carmine lily Our RNG is definitely not favoring the whales. People of all levels are jumping up and down the ranking. It's actually fun to watch
robust vapor
@south arrow this may have changed. I had a limit of 2 packs yesterday, but today it is 4; full unlock.
dreamy root
@carmine lily I’m top 50 and I’m not a whale
stray wadi
The tribbles are total lottery. It’s actually a lot of fun, but my points added on the notification bar disagree with the tribbles gained. For example my latest small tribble refine was a double. I gave 10 tribbles and got 112. I got credited with 62.
Didn’t have an exact count though since I have around 200k total and it should be tribbles gained not tribbles total. Regardless, I’m enjoying it. I really do hope to somehow be lucky enough for even spot 5. I really want that avatar
stray wadi
I’m thinking the actual total is right though. Frequently the notification bar is incorrect
Same cactus, but the alliance IS skewed towards the bigger alliances in my server because they’re all full and active. We’re mostly active but have 20 less than the top
dreamy root
I have 1/5th of my alliance total
I just collect and do them all when I get the chance too
stray wadi
We do have the most participation this event. Only 4 players have t participated. We’re currently rank 21
Problem is I don’t think most understand the whole refine thing
And while we have actives only half those actually talk
dreamy root
Ya
stray wadi
Well, good luck to you! Hopefully they release the borg tribble avatar sometime soon some other way. I’d spend pretty much anything except real money for that thing.
dreamy root
Ya
Kinda want to get the Borg tribble too
Can’t complete mission chain as I can barely defeat 75k power
teal jackal
@robust vapor what's your ops level? I still only get the option to buy 2 (half) of the tribble
I'm not spending $200 just to mine faster though. I'll save that for the Enterprise
sharp ibex
well, while you feed on the tears of players, scopely feeds on your tears for whining about pack prices 😛
10of10 recruit chests unlocks at 125k tribbles, x30 = 3.75m tribbles needed
better then 10m which would have been the answer of the math question they did in the event itself (1 generating 10 offspring every 12 hours for 3 days results in 10m tribbles)
@carmine lily no, the leaderbord in this case is just like with that other milestone event we had: the more active your alliance, the more points
@carmine lily only the strong/active top 10 alliances will be able to win it
but yes, the whales have the benefit to be able to hire a butler to open the chests for them while they are asleep themself
teal jackal
Lol. Touche.
robust vapor
@teal jackal 35
teal jackal
huh. I still only have the option to get 2
noble oar
Any clue what we can do with the bort points after this arc? Buy borg officer shards? Mats to upgrade vidar?
noble oar
If they've no use and we only get a frame it would be quite anticlimactic
Sure, event itself had some rewards but an event shop to spend the points would be appreciated
