@crisp jasper I like the new officer events. I very very much want the station events to be updated in the same style as the new research events

floral trail
The station events (old ones) are very confusing since the time to do the upgrade has no bearing on the actual power you gain.
The officer shard events are ok, if spending faction credits on officer shards or you have a glut of them stashed but I only do the heroic ones as the rewards are a little lame otherwise. There is no point trying to compete on the leaderboard events unless you get lucky and pull a full unlock
I cant really spend officer xp anymore since I need badges to upgrade all but the new borg officers, which I am still short on shards for

<@&509691205798592532> can you please forward my request to anyone at scopely (although I don't believe it will be anything from it) - in event "threat from beyond" why don't we get at least any amount of FM's since we can only get them with constant grinding, and the amount it's needed for upgrade it's starting to be hilarious. Thx in advance...

Can’t we have an event like alliance war. A PVP with rewards. Then maybe later server wars

Crucible of War is the event that allows you to choose your own rewards . Ship Blueprints included. Vote wisely!

These R&D leaderboards look a bit underwhelming compared to hc events. I'd value the rewards from fixed cost hc events far more than punting on a leaderboard and risk getting sniped at the last minute, they should be significantly better.

@icy panther ships blueprints wasn’t included

FWIW - if you did your franklin and swarm events every day, you would have maxed your franklin by now
(assuming level requirements met)

I can't get the franklin without paying now, I've missed the boat
crisp jasper
That is certainly one valid excuse for not having a max franklin 🙂
frail ice
not that it matters, my bortas does the job just fine for now
crisp jasper
I do see a lot of people grinding swarms without the franklin. It seems to take a lot of value out of the rewards. I wouldn't see that as a great option unless you just need some extra help for your threat from beyond numbers
frail ice
I do it because I have no choice
but IIRC it was an option in an event around December time - might have been Crucible

I think events should be based on server age, for us new servers, 90% can't even take part so what's point in voting.
Also where are the new server events, like franklin, jelly, North star, etc....

Pvp events are a bad idea. 2 things will happen. 1 most players will pull all their ships home, shield and come back when it is over. 2 players will partner together with to trade points. There will be very very little real pvp. The game design doesn't really support pvp. Many people think this is a war game, it isn't. It is a resource gathering and building game. If you want pvp, raid stations

winged tulip
Maybe if the faction ship BP wasn't 💩 💩 💩 we wouldn't want faction hunt so often.
For reference, and i'm sure lots on here can do better - i can build 75 kehras, 51 vahklas, 30 kumaris, 24 horizons with all the hostiles i've killed. In that time i've only just finished off grinding a bortas, at ops35, which is a little late for it to be useful.
abstract gate
There's a time when it is useful?
Asking for non-stop faction hunt is short sighted. Yes you finally have enough credits to get the ship you want or promote the officer you need but without trit, dil, uc's, rares and officer badges gl doing anything.
noble oar
what events should we ask for then? I've been playing for 7 months or so and I've seen 0 events with badges
abstract gate
Badges are a seperate issue but I lumped them in with that as everyone is wetting themselves over recruit tokens, xp and faction credits
All useless (eventually) without the officer badges and shipbuilding resources to back them up.
A seperatist style event store with pick and mix rewards (including badge bundles) would be a good start.
noble oar
Without any doubt but there's no guarantee that any of the events we vote for will have an event store so with faction hunt at least I know I'm getting three commodities I actually need
But the UC drought is something that should be solved by giving the refinery another overhaul as far as I'm concerned
When you need thousands of UC a few scraps or a few more scraps from events won't solve it
abstract gate
By making them difficult to get you've been fooled into thinking you need them. Yes they are needed but so are everything I've mentioned and in far greater quantities
The refinery needs tweaking, no arguments here. However it shouldn't be the primary source of uc/rare materials. Scopely needs you logging on and engaging with their game and fun and rewarding events are how they should be doing that not 10hr cooldowns
winged tulip
Tbh what i feel like i'm missing right now is something i can actually grind for. Pretty much everything i need is gated behind cooldowns - apart from spending faction credits in store. I feel like i could kill a thousand hostiles a day and get nothing more useful than doing the bare minimum for my dailies and then shielding up and logging off..
noble oar
Indeed Dys but faction hunt at this moment at least gives a servicable amount of said resources. Many other events really fall under the category (is this worth the time/effort so until they tweak that...
It maybe shouldn't be the biggest source but at the least it should be a steady reliable source. When you get days of only commons...
Heck, I've abandoned my miners as the UC crys drought is that insane Sucks for lower leves who can't move my miners but that's how it is
abstract gate
If there's parsteel for building, trit for donating and uc's and rares for upgrades It's worth doing (lvl38 pushing for 39)
noble oar
Indeed rwagg, I'm killing 37 hostiles and the drops from even just op 28 ships is so tiny I'd need weeks of hitting them all day to get any hopes of building a ship that way
abstract gate
Progression through pve is severely limited. Without a varied and engaging event rotation many new players and some old ones will burn out and quit soon
Beyond the hit and miss nature of the refinery and the frankly 🐂 💩 availability of officer badges my biggest gripe is the fundamental lack of transparency from scopely. Specifically the lack of an event calendar telling us what to expect, when and what the rewards will be (detailed reward breakdowns not 3 vague icons)
noble oar
What would help for me is if I didn't increasingly feel like a beggar gathering scraps as my ops increased
abstract gate
What lvl are you?
devout talon
you can get badges using epic armada chests.
perhaps you could stop hard-paywalling those and give people a real chance to grind epic directives. then maybe armadas might be worth again
abstract gate
Armadas in their current format are far too much of a faff and require too much searching followed by sitting around waiting to be even remotely worth the random and very low chance at a single officer badge
devout talon
it is still an alternative though, just one that is currently worthless
abstract gate
We need a reliable way to work for those badges not more hail-mary's
winged tulip
without people buying armada packs, an epic armada sounds like a once every 6 month thing, and getting enough credits from said armada a once-yearly thing. Conversion from uncommon -> rare directives -> rare credits -> epic directives is just too low
abstract gate
Simple improvements to armadas would be to increase spawn rates across the board, allow host to pick team members and once picked and assembled to end the countdown early.
Those 3 things would triple scopely's sales of armada packs overnight
winged tulip
I'd also allow cancelling of armadas if another is started up to a minute before - either make it possible to cancel if the game lags and you're right behind someone, or fix the damn lag. I can understand when it's a split second thing, but we're starting to see people starting armadas 5 mins later just because ours didn't show up, and it's not just because they fancy some PVP!
abstract gate
Yep bugs and lag are also a massive deterrent to doing armadas.
They painted themselves into a corner by making directives so hard to come by. People are reluctant to use them without the perfect team online and ready to go, an actual armada spawned and waiting and 5 restarts just to be sure it hasn't been flagged already. All of that combined means a lot of players simply don't bother or only bother when they have acquired the directives organically without spending.
A week ago I decided to do a day of hosting uc armadas for my alliance...after 5 hours of all the issues stated above I'd hosted 4 and was thoroughly sick of the whole 💩 show
floral trail
I still dont have enough directives for a rare armada. The chance of me getting a EPIC armada before the game closes are slim
And the Armada packs are poor value
weak copper
Currently sitting on 6825 uncommon armada directives. Can’t be arsed with spending them and only take part in armadas if asked to. They’re just a waste of time in their current state
noble oar
I'm ops 31, slogging onwards to op 32
winged tulip
Currently doing enough uncommon to purchase 2 packs daily, and might get enough for a rare every month. Very rarely get uc, mostly useless officer xp and repair speedups.
abstract gate
Repair speedups aren't useless. 😶
Even armada events aren't enough incentive to bother with them tbh. Milestone rewards are meagre at best and after the first 2hrs it just becomes a chore to find any worth starting. The alliance store boxes are a cruel rng joke further humiliating you for even considering trying.
After a year of expectation and hope the final result was less than inspired. Armada rollout was when I went f2p.
winged tulip
@abstract gate repair speedups aren't a problem when treble faction locked.
abstract gate
Nice. Still not useless. 😌

Armadas are the biggest disappointment in the game.
Takes 6 months to do one epic and you need to do 3 or 4 to unlock one chest.

At 38 a single epic armada box is 2500 credits. With the kind of team my alliance can field that's 6 or 7 epics minimum per box
tulip raptor
Sorry to interrupt armada bashing. But I just wanted to point out this event rewards bs. Competitive vs heroic research events. One pic is the first place reward, the other is ONLY the top tier of heroic. Guess which costs more to get on our server.

I've never paid too much attention to daily events. only the main events.
the others are usually for spenders

The format is specifically designed to exclude f2p. The rewards are 💩 . Only spenders can benefit from them with any regularity
At least the xp events were easier to save for and the mixed bag rewards were of more overall use to us.
hardy parcel
@abstract gate same for me. But I know I'm above the average on our server.
Still a steaming pile of 💩💩💩 tho
abstract gate
By segregating the uc and rare rewards to a single type per event (except station events atm) they have created yet another roadblock to progression for f2p who relied on the events in their old format for a steady income of all 3 types
prisma geode
Don’t pay attention to daily events, if you happen to be upgrading they are a bonus.
abstract gate
Also none of the new format events have gas as a reward at all...gj there too 🚮
winged tulip
Meh, i hold off on doing anything unless there's an event for it - progression is slow enough gathering G3 that it doesn't slow me down much and it's nice to get something back
but the inconsistency in cost/reward for hc event vs leaderboard is something i've noticed, and it does mean they're always worth skipping
knotty birch
It’s a pretty harmful shift against player progression. Thinking back I could win materials I needed (g3) by using officer and ship experience therefore having a net gain in G3. Not to gain rewards of g3 I have to many many multiples of g3 or other really restricted materials such as dili. This will REALLY hurt players, in particular ftp.
solemn sequoia
You honestly need something like 3x the amount of crystal that you do any other mat
To me this feels like them balancing the output appropriately
knotty birch
Sorry I meant 3* materials overall not just gas.
wicked fog
Ship event for mats rather than xp...lame. Will there still be ship xp events?
solemn sequoia
I feel like the old events werent THAT bad though
like i dont know why they couldnt just mix and match between the new set and this stuff
knotty birch
So alliance events are basically a numbers game where medium sized alliances with really active players have no chance against the bigger alliances. Level the playing field maybe by only having the top 25 player scores for each alliance counting? This would really mix up alliance events for the better and would be way to do without changing any game mechanics apart from which scores count.
solemn sequoia
It wouldnt really change much in the standings
because of their reward structure, they heavily incentivize the top 70+ people to congregate in a single alliance
So the top alliance ususally has the top 25 score-ers in it as well
winged tulip
Only problem i had with ship XP events is that ship XP earned from killing hostiles didn't count - meant as soon as you tiered a ship you feel like you shouldn't use it till the next XP event came along and gave you a reason to spend your XP on it
abstract gate
@winged tulip scrapyard kinda fixed that...I used to have an envoy or two waiting in the wings for a ship xp event and subsequent scrapping
winged tulip
Yep, used to do that but i've run out of g2 ship parts, and i'm not sure it's worth using lat to tier up ships to scrap
abstract gate
Depends how desperate you are for g3 vs how rich in lat you are I guess
Were*
It's essentially paying lat for g3, a feature many of us have asked for (not me because I know it'd be futile to suggest something that affects sales)
knotty birch
@solemn sequoia - it really would trust me. We have a 30-35 player alliance which when it’s down to effort then we score top 5 but simply cannot compete against double the size of alliance - our members are all active but sheer numbers count.
winter leaf
Participation is key for sure.
floral trail
I think rather than tables with only the top alliance getting the spoils, they should have more of a league type structure where alliances can get promoted or demoted from the leagues. The higher up the league system the better the rewards but all alliances get something from participation
A similar event banding is needed for solo events, am I really going to get top 10 out 2000 on my server? Fact that I finished 20th in the last lat event is a bloody miracle (though I didnt get anything from it, beyond the solo rewards)
Even first place isnt that fantastic in the grand scheme of things.
winged tulip
Lat events are impossible for me as i didn't unlock tribble officer - and even then there's guys on my server that have 2 dvors, pretty pointless competing with them. And tbh the leaderboard rewards are utterly pointless unless you score in top 3, so most weeks it's missable anyway.

The Crucible event is NOT giving credit for using certain ships, just like it didn't last time this event ran.

I actually wish they would give you ONLY raw in events but give you an option to bank to token some every day (at a loss). So you can keep your resources and protect them, for maximum value. Or take a lower reward in exchange for safety

@earnest citrus No, that is not the case. It does not award the extra points, and I just verified it by hitting a couple hostiles, and checking the score after.

How does new officer event work? What do you spend to get points? Thanks

I agree, appreciate your input and thanks for the link!

The new officer event is points for aquiring shards not for spending officer XP. If you have an old officer XP event you should spend the XP.

Same with NS - my the time I was offered a NS, it was already not a useful ship. I got it anyway for kicks, but I've never really been able to use it for anything
novel hollow
I’ve got (don’t look burrito) 256m par and 1 m trit it’s too much lol
shrewd totem
You can get trit from upcoming Fractured empire
novel hollow
I know and I don’t “need” right now thanks to the crystal wall
Need trit
And what rss are you buying i alliance store
shrewd totem
2x par,1x trit and 1x dil👀
obtuse otter
Trit would be nice
kindred arch
Ready pitchforks guys
crisp jasper
If I could customize the combos, I'd take crystal/par
obtuse otter
I expect I'll have 5b after this event the way ppl shield
crisp jasper
The problem I have with trit is that it has been so easy to raid since players were starved of parsteel. I'm flush with trit from raiding
crisp jasper
these last few weeks, there's been a lot of available par on our server again, thanks to the good payout from events
kindred arch
crisp jasper
But for the months before that, it's been slim pickings for par and easy easy trit
shrewd totem
I agree we need more trit but not gonna complain about lots of par I am getting

Batman can you send pic of alliance store rss ...
The trit was plentiful when they gave away the 20m

Oh for event yeah... was thinking regular alliance store sorry

It is regular alliance store😅

I really want new 6 hour station events. Any chance we can get word on that?
I promise to never speak negatively about scopely in the future if they will tell me when to expect an update on those

I feel dumb today, what’s a 6 hour station event, the one that pays out lat?

Over the past month or so all other types were changed, station is the last one to remain in the old style

Does anyone know wich is the event for the jellyfish or at what intervals it takes Place?
novel hollow
Ya we just started to getting the changes last week. Not sure how that one would change, 1 point per xx spent or has it already been updated on some servers.
upper knot
I assume it will be similar to the format the research events are now
If it has already hit some servers I would love to know
@ocean heron there isn't a predictable pattern
hushed belfry
So since I started my borg jaylah inquiry here and have been asking about it i figured id update with a ticket i opened..
hushed belfry
First ticket i mentioned the announcement, they told me there was no such announcement made and that the only announcement ever made about borg jaylah was just about her abilities and basically said i fabricated the announcement saying she’d be in recruit chests, and closed my ticket (wish i screenshottes)
So I opened a new ticket, pointed out it was an official announcement here on the official discord on march 24th and copy and pasted the info in regards to borg jaylah being in recruit packs, and asked for immediate escalation, and here was the response:
And again they closed the ticket, but at least they said borg officers would be available again? Granted their word is meaningless at this point.
@twilit imp how about some help here considering you made the initial announcement that she would be available in recruit packs in April?
upper knot
@hushed belfry can you post the announcement information?

Scopely lies. Fact. Panic can only disseminate information he/she is given and thereafter given permission to reveal

New Borg Officers: Five of Ten, Seven of Ten, Eight of Ten, Nine of Ten
You can now recruit other members of the Borg group “Unimatrix Twelve”. These officers have a wide range of manoeuvre and abilities, with a focus on increasing and using the stats of your officers on the ship. One of Ten is part of this group.
For now, those officers will be available through Events and Purchases. Note, Borgified Jaylah will initially only be available through Solo Leaderboard events & the Premium unlock pass but will also, later on, be offered during April in officer chests.

Honestly the cms and mods are almost as in the dark as we are

As seen on 3/24 announcement
Yes but if we stay silent nothing will happen, at least if we speak up its possible something does
see 10 mil faction lock. I’m not sure why more people arent upset when only 4 people or whatever the number is have an officer unlocked that we were all supposed to have the opportunity to get

So, crucible of war milestone event. Monthly alliance lasts 3d.
To get points. Aliiance trophy from solo event 30 points per, kill hostile 1 point, use special ships,.. Lol only 6 dvors, 1 Sally and numerous jelly in server.
But working out math 60 member alliance, just to reach first milestone at 800k, looking at 1500 hostiles per person.
So 500 per day just to reach first milestone, top milestone is 2m points
shrewd totem
Each member also gets 12k points by doing their solo event everyday
So 60×12k×3=2160000
inland hamlet
Yep that's 300k points,
But need 1.7 million more
shrewd totem
No it isnt 300k points
Your math is wrong
60 members each does their solo daily event for 3 days-> 60 × 12k× 3
You get 400 trophies everyday and each trophy is 30 points
inland hamlet
Nope depends on ops lvl
shrewd totem
So by simply doing solo event for 3 days you will finish event
No it doesnt
What level are you?
inland hamlet
shrewd totem
And I am lvl34
inland hamlet
Cerage on server is 19
shrewd totem
How many trophies you get?
inland hamlet
Average even, 400, but lvl 14, only get 100
shrewd totem
400 = 12k points at lvl34
No it is same for every level
If you can prove it is otherwise send an ss,I will go and ask from Devs
But no it isnt depending on ops level
inland hamlet
OK..
Will see how it goes.. But server lag is terrible today.....
Lol your lower rewards were better than ours, all we got was total 500k parsteel
wispy drum
Is the ship upgrade points not calculating in for anyone else?
inland hamlet
Doesn't for milestone event just the other
wispy drum
Nvm it’s tier upgrade not use ship XP. 🤦♂️
neon badge
Last time this event ran only the coiners finished the top tier
This event is garbage
Use "enterprise-a" for 89 points. Is there even one person who has that
obtuse otter
@neon badge Yes. At least one. Also a Tribune. Not sure about Hegh'ta though
upper knot
My alliance is on pace to finish tomorrow
earnest hornet
It’s not a garbage event, people just don’t get it, and start focussing on ooh another person can get more points faster so this is unfair.
It’s not a hard event to do, and heck if you put in as much effort as people do complaining in here you’d finish the event.
It’s about teamwork, the solo event is easy.
And it’s stupid to say oh I’m not gonna be able to finish it, so no point in doing it. All you have to do is do as much as you can, you don’t get something for nothing, those that can put some more effort into killing ships will go higher. But even Winning partial rewards is still better then nothing
patent plaza
Where are the level 40+ ships? Oh wait they are all in dark space. Let me just get the credit card out.
earnest hornet
So what? Just use the best ship you have. Doesn’t stop you from doing the event if you don’t have a level 40+ ship. Do you know how much those things cost to build and even to repair. Be glad you don’t have one.
obtuse otter
Plenty of systems have lvl 40 ships. Groombridge and Ursva have 41s
patent plaza
I know no is how much they cost to repair trust me. Insane. Just wish we had a shot as a humble grinder
@obtuse otter oooh yeas that’s right l. Thanks
earnest hornet
I hit level 40 ships in Romulan space in Terminimurus, 38-40 normal traders, and battleships in there.
I do it in there with my 840k sally, and get about 25 kills per run
patent plaza
Yeah that’s where I farm 40+. Woth I could find lvl 40+ Rom
Do it woth my 1.4 Sally. Pike, Moreau and max Chen
Loose count of how many I can take out
earnest hornet
Yeah same I actually think@I hit more, but that depends how many 40s I hit, I hit more if I just stick to lvl 38-39s
patent plaza
Nice. I’m trying not to look at the leaderboard. Guys with ISS jellys. 😭
earnest hornet
Yeah I get a decent number 🙂 and yea it would be nice to have one of those too, but it’s the same in real life too, you don’t get a flash car by sitting at home not doing anything, it takes time, work and effort 😊😂
unborn kite
so with this event,do i need to kill at least one hostile between each tier or am i good once i kill one for all tiers?

How do you get the silver trophies 🏆
novel hollow

charred shadow
For the alliance crucible of war MILESTONE event, is anyone getting the bonus points for using certain ships? The banner is flashing Only 1 point for each hostile kill despite using a ship that grants extra points from the list of ships mentioned
novel hollow
You need a bot for this☝️
Check your totals it’s a visual glitch
Do these always pay out ore or do they alternate mats?
charred shadow
Never gas, not sure about alternate, nothing pays out gas, just ore and crystal
novel hollow
We don’t have the latter yet
shrewd totem
You will get them,just wait
novel hollow
I am waiting with annoyed bated breath
shrewd totem
@charred shadow for now yes.But they can also change building events as well since they are still old ones
I am okay with more crystal 🤷♂️
2 events for cry,1 for ore and 1 for gas would be fine
charred shadow
It’s a wallet tug since the refinery won’t keep you flush enough for the events
novel hollow
Me too but with old xp events was getting decent crystal returns. This may be better... the officer event was a mixture at each tier.
Just wish I hadn’t done all my upgrades last week doe
shrewd totem
Ah you get more uncommon from new events
From new officer event(heroic one)-> 26 unc cry and 3 rare
From old one it was 24 unc(all 3)
novel hollow
That’s shards correct not XP
shrewd totem
You can buy fac recruit tokens from faction store,you have Augment officer chests and ton of officers recruit tokens from fac hunts
Spend dil or unc/rare
novel hollow
K thanks. Yeah this wouldn’t have been bad if I hadn’t just done bortas and sally guns.
shrewd totem
New research and officer events gives good amount of trit as well
novel hollow
Maybe the NS needs a new laser lol 😂
shrewd totem
I never did and still dont do ship events anyway so dont even look at those
novel hollow
Well it was nice when you could level a BB with lat and get paid back lat and ultra shards
formal elk
New ship events - not a fan. I prefer the ship xp events
shrewd totem
They should have combined old and new ones
I think everyone would be happy
Btw a small tip: you should get a research and ship event in 5 hours 26 mins@novel hollow
🤐
novel hollow
And it’s spend correct? So I’d need to speed up my 2 day research will see if I’m awake lol
shrewd totem
Yeah new research events needs you to spend dil or unc/rare
novel hollow
Are there still events with lat prizes plus rss and do those structures change? And Thank you.
obtuse otter
Ship xp spend event requires a ship needing xp and xp. I usually only have 1 or the other.
shrewd totem
Building events still give lat and other recruit stuff for now
formal elk
So are we to assume that Officer events will pivot from xp to ‘acquire shards’?
shrewd totem
If ship events are changed to new ones,I would assume same happened to research and officer events
obtuse otter
@formal elk They already have
shrewd totem
In all servers?
obtuse otter
On mine it is
shrewd totem
Last I saw it was only EU/APAC and slowly launched to US ones
obtuse otter
Mine is shard based. US-21
That's one reason why I have 38M officer xp burning a hole in my pocket
formal elk
I’ve seen posts here showing the shard-based ones. I had assumed it was a special event. Troubling news if it’s to replace the xp events
obtuse otter
They're likely just trying something different. Might alternate in the future - or combine the two (hopefully)
formal elk
Alternating / combining would be ok. I’d hate to lose the ability to acquire rss & mats through Officer and ship xp. It’s hard enough to acquire stuff a;ready, without it getting harder
mental yoke
Officer shard event is kinda trash since it’s just rng based. Would prefer the xp one for officers.
swift lotus
This crucible of war event is garbage
You get to choose what you trade in for but it’s armada tokens or bad crew ...
shrewd totem
Ah have you seen other packs you can get?@swift lotus
swift lotus
Where ?
swift lotus
Yes, but those are the alliance tokens
shrewd totem
Which you also get from CoW event?
swift lotus
And the event is favoured towards having big ships. I’m in a bigger alliance but most everyone is early to late 20s
shrewd totem
I mean you cant say something is garbage by not looking inside
@swift lotus that is also not true
Level of hostile doesnt matter
swift lotus
You get points by killing hostiles with larger ships
Right, so if you have an enterprise and kill level 1 hostiles you get 90 points per kill
shrewd totem
Just do solo event which gives equal amount of trophies to every level and kill thousand of lvl1 hostiles
You have 3 days
Can be done easily
Plus it isnt a leaderboard so you arent competing with anyone,why is the rush?
I made the math little earlier:
So let's say 45 players finished their solo events for 3 days-> that is 1.6m-1.8m points depending on what ship they used.They need 400k points at max and 200k at minimum so that is 20k hostiles at max and 10k at minimum by using a lvl28 ship
swift lotus
The top tier is 2M points. The average person in my alliance has a T1-T2 faction ship or less
That’s max 30 points per kill
It works out to about 67000 hostiles killed for the entire alliance in 3 days, more if not everyone has a saladin
shrewd totem
killing 10k-20k hostiles in 45 member alliance is like 200-500 per player
swift lotus
We’re 50
shrewd totem
50×3×12=1.8m points if they do their solo event for 3 days
Then grind a few hundred hostiles per player- boom you finished solo alliance event
swift lotus
Anyways, maybe I’m not doing the math right
obtuse otter
Too much math
swift lotus
No... it doesn’t.
shrewd totem
50 players,each does their solo event and gets 400 gold trophies per day and each trophy is 30 points,means 50×400×30= 600000 points per day
swift lotus
Base, you get 400 trophies per day
shrewd totem
Per player
swift lotus
They’re worth 30 each
shrewd totem
Correct
swift lotus
That’s 12000 points
swift lotus
What level does this start
shrewd totem
Level doesnt matter,same amount of trophies to everyone
12k per player per day.if you have 50 members and event is for 3 days,that means you will get 1.8m points at the end of event by simply doing solo event correct?
swift lotus
I guess. We’ll see
obtuse otter
Can somebody make a spreadsheet? 
swift lotus
Anyways, I’m not a big fan of this event I guess
shrewd totem
Why?
Everything except leaderboard is amazing with this event
@obtuse otter I am not good with those.But if you want to do it,I can do the math for you😅

Well one lvl 55 trader gets you 463k points. The whales with a decent jelly can kill several in one round.
Not much anyone else cab do to compete with that, this is mainly the battle of the whales.
hollow heron
Think our server 30 has ya beat
viscid yoke
This is why people don't vote for this event, servers are full of inactive accounts.
robust vapor
So merge with other alliances 🤷♂️
But I believe that they lowered the requirements to start hitting the milestones in this one anyway.
noble oar
Hmm....it says we can buy the packs twice only but looking at the cooldown I should be able to buy them again before they leave the alliance store
robust vapor
Does look that way.. though maybe they'll be unavailable after the cooldown 😂
abstract gate
my d3 doesn't count (points) correctly, does this problem occures to others?
robust vapor
@abstract gate are you looking at the banner or are you comparing before and after actual points? Banner has always shown incorrectly in events with multiple points like this, but my actual score increase matches expectations (hard to check with this one, but with 2 ships in quick succession and some luck it's doable).
robust vapor
The banners are always useless in these kinds of events, get this complaint literally every time 😅
This one is harder to check though as you can't see just your points in it 🙄
opal glade
Does someone know what the top score you need to achieve for the daily alliance event cruicible of war for a lvl17 is?
autumn elk
ALB s a 'who has most jellys', glad I'm with the big dogs 😎
neon badge
This event sucks, alliance milestones should be achievable without relying on whales spending money and using 4* ships
Its seriously worse than data mining events
Probably the worst event in the game
This is the only event our alliance can't finish period and we usually palace in the top 10 on the leaderboard which tells me it's very poorly designed
robust vapor
Well if you have 50 active members doing the solo daily, you should get 🤔 90% of the milestone event finished not including any ships killed? They even made it easier to get to the first milestone than last time..
frail ice
what was the event called last year where you could choose severus shards and zhou shards, and also bp for franklin or dvor? that would be welcome
noble oar
This should be doable by any active alliance of decent size
unreal osprey
a month has passed and of almost 30 players who scored the first day of this event in my alliance (not even 20 got the 400 trophies) today we have 23 participants, of which only 14 have managed to get the trophies (maybe less people) Thank you for facilitating it a little, but you are late, at this rate for next month the first milestone will be at 600k they will give us 15k for the trophies and we will not arrive because even fewer people played
not counting the silver trophy scam
knotty birch
We’re only a 30 player alliance and we might just finish all milestones today. Just takes effort - were hitting lvl17 and 22 separatists with as big a ship as possible as fast as possible (I’m using Sally with Klaa). It’s a grind but easily doable unless you spend too much time on here complaining! 😜
abstract gate
Our top players are ops 33 and we’ve reached the 800k point some hours ago. As @knotty birch said: get grinding, @neon badge
unreal osprey
@knotty birch Have you taken into account that not all alliances have players with faction ships? in our alliance there is only 1 player with a faction ship (lvl 26) and another player with a Vidar, how do you expect us to get to the first milestone in 3 days if we have not achieved even 1/3 on the first day?
knotty birch
I get there is a points difference between the level of ship you use, but it’s not anywhere near the impact you get in alliance leaderboard event. How many players do you have?
Ah ok 23 actives. So ours is a 30 player alliance but I guess only really 10 of us grinding. I hit nearly 2,000 hostiles yesterday through this morning myself to give you an idea of the effort required.
unreal osprey
the problem is also the level of these players and the ships they have
knotty birch
The other 3 ships I have I left I. lower level Aug space all day self farming.
unreal osprey
If that works, I am in enemy with the Klingons and there are many times that they do not come to attack, the same with in aug space
knotty birch
Just have to keep an eye on them - if somebody hits you chaser ship then you need to move ship over to next system.
unreal osprey
there are times when not even the first comes
not even the message that you are in hostile space
knotty birch
Then reset it in another system. I’m not sure what else to say, as everything I suggest to help is impossible or a problem. This game for sure does not play itself.
Scopely could help by tiering the milestones by size or power of alliance?
unreal osprey
explain how that went yesterday, first system visited, 0 hostile attacking me, second system the same, third system this time in Aug... the same
knotty birch
Sorry I’m not customer service, as a game mechanic it works. People spend their lives running from chasers! Try clearing localisation, drop a ship in Aug space.
But those ships are just fillers. The main aim is solid grinding. Get guys running multiple ships, use Franklin’s hitting as low a level swarm as you can. You have to be creative in this event.
shrewd totem
Event is perfect IMO
unreal osprey
not perfect
shrewd totem
If you cant do it,either you need a server merge or you need to make your alliance stronger
It can be done with 40 active people easily
Or even 30 people according to Fire,but they had to grind more
mental yoke
Rewards are not worth the grind imo
shrewd totem
Wtf
unreal osprey
I explain my situation, I am in one of the few alliances entirely in my language, almost all the players in our alliance are f2p which makes them grow slowly, very few have the franklin and only 1 has the Vidar (me) and only one Player has a faction ship because it has reached level 26 a short time ago, how are we supposed to even get to the first milestone?
shrewd totem
How does the rewards not worth it?
knotty birch
We have 28 playing out of 30 alliance and likely 20 active. Hit milestone 3 already through pure grinding
shrewd totem
You dont like 80 unc ore/cry or gas?
Or millions of rss?
Or Relo tokens,independent credits etc etc
It is amazing and rewards you almost everything
@unreal osprey just kill ton of lvl1 hostiles
It will take time but possible
dapper drum
1 person cannot carry their alliance alone
shrewd totem
Yes
unreal osprey
@shrewd totem Of course, too much work for so little reward, there are other events that for less work give you better prizes in relation time / prize
I'm not going to spend all day killing level 1 hostiles to get only 1 milestone and not even get speed ups
dapper drum
need atleast 2 dozen grinders or a fully active alliance doing their dailies
shrewd totem
Tell your mates to stop being lazy and start killing hostiles
It is an alliance event
Not solo event
dapper drum
yeah I know
going back to the last CoW we had
our server had 14 alliances who made it pasts the 2nd milestone or greater
shrewd totem
I am waiting about why rewards arent worth it.....
dapper drum
nobody wants to kill hostiles non stop all day
unreal osprey
@shrewd totem and you think I didn't tell him? that you think I stay still without telling them to help?
shrewd totem
If they dont want to help,it is simple leave and join a new alliance
mental yoke
When you have a large active alliance and you are higher level and get more Points for the ships you use then might be for you. We won’t make it past second tier likely and since Kumari, vahklas andkhera are not considered “combat ships” somehow, then grinding hostiles for 4 points with a jelly all day to get enough creds for maybe one or two of the packs is not worth it. It won’t be millions of rss or uncommons or Independent credits for me. So it’s not worth the grind to me.
dapper drum
even top 10 alliances don't finish all milestones
dapper drum
it is the rewards system by ship, uncommons should give something
unreal osprey

@mental yoke you arent the only person in alliance
unreal osprey
3 insane grinding days for that? not worth
better swarm events and 💩 refinery pulls
shrewd totem
If your whole alliance does their solo events and grind a few k hostiles in 3 days,you can finish a few milestones easily
mental yoke
Nope. We have many grinding and we still won’t get much past the first tier.
unreal osprey
less grind same rewards
when a 3-day event gives less resources than a 6-hour event is to watch it
shrewd totem
only you 2 from 42k people who is in this discord complaining about event should show that you are doing something wrong.....
unreal osprey
@shrewd totem You also have to take into account that the ships are not repaired for free, that millions of tritanium are reduced quite a bit, if you add the repair costs of the ships to the fact that if your alliance does not reach at least 3 milestones and remains in a decent position in the lb you lose more tritanium than you can earn
mental yoke
Lol...I didn’t complain. I said it’s not worth the grind to me.
unreal osprey
you also earn more uc with the refinery than with the event
shrewd totem
If you kill lvl1 hostiles it wont cost you a lot
Maybe 10k trit?
Does those even damage your ship?
dapper drum
I agree event is doable if you have no life, but the rewards are not worth it
last CoW I kill over 5000 ships in 1 day and still didn't bring from 1 milestone to the next
unreal osprey
And how many hours do you have to spend killing hostiles to earn a significant amount of points?
shrewd totem
You arent the ONLY person in your alliance
odd nova
Does it make a difference what level you destroy for the Crucible Alliance Milestone?
dapper drum
most people don't want to grind beyond dailies
shrewd totem
Them being lazy isnt your fault but it is an alliance event,if they dont want to grind then find a new alliance
shrewd totem
@odd nova nope
dapper drum
the arrogance and entitlement they live by
unreal osprey
but I am one of the few who would have enough hours to spend uselessly trying to reach the first milestone for little and less resources
shrewd totem
It is an alliance event for whole alliance to grind hostiles,not just ONE player
knotty birch
We will possibly finish today and we have 30 people in our alliance.
dapper drum
majority of alliance can't do it
shrewd totem
If your alliance doesnt want to help each other and get good rewards,you have to find a new one
dapper drum
they don't have "combat" ships
and those that have the rare/epics don't care for the rewards as they just buy their way through
shrewd totem
Nope
dapper drum
those that will grind get 1 point per kill
those that can get 50 points per kill don't care
shrewd totem
It is an alliance if people dont help each other doesnt matter what level and who they are then you arent in right alliance
unreal osprey
@shrewd totem I still don't see where the good prizes are at this event
dapper drum
what you call the "right" alliance exist in only 2 to 3 alliances
top 10 in our server barely made beyond 2nd milestone last time
knotty birch
No it doesn’t @dapper drum
mental yoke
Explain how a khera, vahklas or kumari are not combat ships
dapper drum
only the top 3 finished
unreal osprey
@dapper drum same here
unreal osprey
maybe 2 or 3 alliances more but the same
dapper drum
so the people who have to actually grind to play can participate beyond 1 point
robust vapor
I feel like you must have mostly inactive alliances in your server..
alpine lagoon
this is what happens if in good active alliance
shrewd totem
It is an event for STRONGEST alliances 🤷♂️
If you cant do it then you arent in right alliance
dapper drum
half of my alliance is participating but they don't get more than 1 point per kill
mental yoke
Then it’s not a great event if it’s for the “strongest alliances”
dapper drum
other half either do dailies then log off or check in after its too late
and mine is right at top 10
robust vapor
50 members doing the solo event will get 90% of the milestone event done without counting any kills..
dapper drum
yeah and when last time 50+ members were on during same day
shrewd totem
You can finish it with 30 people like Fire said earlier 🤷♂️
Just takes a little grind,but possible
dapper drum
last CoW we had 60/73 participate but not all at once
made it 100k away from 3rd milestone
shrewd totem
We already finished 50% of event with 40 people 🤷♂️
dapper drum
yeah and your alliance all have faction ships or better
robust vapor
So you should be able to Knock it out the park, but because you have flakey members the event is BS 🤔
shrewd totem
If you cant do it then you have some problems in your alliance you need to fix
dapper drum
or still using kumaris or less?
most people don't goto the top alliances because of the arrogance and entitlement
its nauseating just to listen to them in GC
its the point spread is the problem
event is doable with activity but only if everyone can participate
unreal osprey
@dapper drum you're absolutely right, top alliances are too arrogant
dapper drum
1 point per kill for half an alliance doesn't help

1 point per kill in 70% or more in my alliance
shrewd totem
An alliance with 50 players can finish it by just doing their solo events
dapper drum
yes but they all have to do it every day
we had 60 do their solos but not all same day
merry fulcrum
Do you think I want to play this daily?
shrewd totem
Ah how hard is it to kill a few hostiles for 20 mins everyday?
shrewd totem
It is BfG,easiest event
dapper drum
we goto wolf and boom done in 15 minutes
robust vapor
Then don't play it daily, and get less rewards for less time put in 😑
merry fulcrum
It's more like 40 minutes due to warp time, and I've got the second most powerful ship for a 29 on my server
dapper drum
I'm in kepler warp time is irrelevant
merry fulcrum
Only one person has a t7+ Sally at level 29 on my server
Yeah, don't play walk away for a few and come back to find a nice 6 1/2 hr repair bill
dapper drum
don't leave your toys in the open!
I almost want to change my name to "BecauseYouLetMe"
would make so much easier than just ignoring dozens of messages
merry fulcrum
No, I'm hunting in lapedes, and I'm hostile with roms
shrewd totem
Complain as much as you want.But this event is amazing and 99% enjoys it so if something is wrong it is probably on your side and not Scopely's fault this time
dapper drum
decoy
omg
@shrewd totem you know i'm advocating for the f2p and not the freemiums and p2w
merry fulcrum
I wonder why cow didn't win the vote then?
dapper drum
I know this event is doable if your alliance is loaded with right players but thats not a even spread through all alliances
unreal osprey
@shrewd totem Would you say 99% of those who can complete the event, right? or at least of those who reach the first milestone
merry fulcrum
Especially on servers with less active players
shrewd totem
@merry fulcrum because most people dont know what CoW is?
merry fulcrum
Ummm, cow was recent, sooooo... I doubt that
dapper drum
first milestone should be doable for any alliance in top 50
but wont' get you anything anyways
merry fulcrum
I wouldn't be suprises if you said that for fractured empire
dapper drum
cheapest chest is 4000, first milestone is 3600
merry fulcrum
Tbh you get enough even if you only get 2 chests from your alliance store, that's a lot more uncommon compared to regular events
unreal osprey
a 3 day event in which most alliances cannot win a prize ... I doubt many people like it
knotty birch
We have 30 people and will likely finish today
shrewd totem
See ^
knotty birch
Just takes some grind baby!
shrewd totem
That is grinding for rewards.Because it is worth it
And it is 3 day event
You dont have to kill 3k hostiles in a day
Just kill 1k per day which is quite possible if you want rewards
merry fulcrum
Yeah, I want to sit here and grind all day long
shrewd totem
Auto hostile killing 🤷♂️
nova sierra
if you don't want it, don't do it. If you do, then do. Pretty simple
shrewd totem
Then dont expect rewards if you cant do the grind
dapper drum
the point spread is the problem, they are penalizing f2p players who can't daily grind
unreal osprey
look leave it, if it were as easy as you say you would not have us here saying otherwise
nova sierra
we have f2p in my alliance that do the grind
knotty birch
@merry fulcrum - errr lvl17 or lvl22 separatists spawn like crazy, or go to low level swarm systems. Plenty of hostiles
dapper drum
not all f2p players can get a faction ship in 2 months or less
merry fulcrum
Still boring lol @knotty birch
dapper drum
there are lvl 30's on my server where their kumari is still their strongest ship
its embarassing
nova sierra
then don't do the event. not all alliances should expect to finish this
shrewd totem
Because they didnt progress properly
shrewd totem
If you are lvl30,you must have a fac ship.If you dont then you made a mistake
That isnt Scopely's fault
dapper drum
scopely made it too easy for them to progress without it with the ship rebalance
I had credits for sally/cent when I was lvl 26 from grinding dailies at 1.2m for 2 months
knotty birch
Come on @shrewd totem - where is Scopely with the events where you have to do nothing and get loads of rewards? 😂
dapper drum
by time I hit lvl 30 I had the bps for valkis/antares
shrewd totem
It is a strategy game and you need to make wise moves.Not like rush all the way to lvl50
merry fulcrum
Then you get a Sally that has as much power at tier 1 level 5 compared to a tier 6 kumari
dapper drum
there is a lvl 38 on my server that still using lvl 26 faction ships
shrewd totem
His problem 🤷♂️
shrewd totem
That they are dumb?
merry fulcrum
Yeah, that's their fault, I'm free to play, still level 29
I could be like 31 or 32 though if I didn't have a faction ship
dapper drum
its the lies they are fed by people who spend and progress without effort
shrewd totem
Fac ships at least lvl26-28 ones are very easy to get and if they didnt focus on those then I have no words for them
Plus we got tons of fac hunts recently
dapper drum
yep bringing me much closer to my ent and augur
unreal osprey
I wish we had another faction hunt instead of a CoW
shrewd totem
Scopely is doing a pretty good job with events
dapper drum
with scouts and charged probes instead of having to wait until feb 2021 I'll have them by september
unreal osprey
at least so if I could win some decent prizes
shrewd totem
Problem is the players who dont know how to progress and strategize
merry fulcrum
Ummmmm, no, I don't want more faction hunt
shrewd totem
Teach them if you have those in your alliance
unreal osprey
i want more faction hunt 😄
merry fulcrum
Don't need 7 days straight of faction hunt
dapper drum
well CS will also tell anyone who asks for help that they need to explore and learn on their own
unreal osprey
i need more than 7 days 😄
dapper drum
nothing is explained in the game
shrewd totem
I dont want either Beyond but it is amazing to get ships
nova sierra
separtists..... something so old it would be new again
shrewd totem
Coming in late May 🤷♂️
nova sierra
hear ye, hear ye?
merry fulcrum
May 26th
dapper drum
back to being nostalgic, halfway through excel saga
shrewd totem
Well it is Star Trek,you need to explore,make friendships and progress
So CS answer is correct 🤷♂️
merry fulcrum
Make friendship and blow everyone up
nova sierra
hear the lamentations of their wimmenz
devout talon
I would like to see grind events without fixed milestones, that increase non-linearly without a cap
devout talon
If anyone is familar with Diablo or similar action rpg, once you past a certain point you can keep progressing each level with a substantial increase in difficulty and reward
imagine each milestone as a new level of progression, with 10% more rewards and 15% more difficult, without an end.
People who don't have enough time or strenght cannot continue, and superwhales that want to max their ship will have something to challenge them
You can just make the first 5-6 milestones achievable for most people, like it is now and then just keep increasing
shrewd totem
Okay,it sounds good for players.But if we look at from profit perspective it doesnt look good for Scopely?
I mean as every business company they wont do something that doesnt make them $$
unreal osprey
@shrewd totem scopely scam us enough
nova sierra
$99 pack - 10% more reward, only 12% more diffiuclty
shrewd totem
Your choice to spend or not
devout talon
if you think about whales, what drives them really?
is it the desire to always be at the top? this system will give hardcore player a further challenge.
maybe if they had doubts on spending that extra couple of grand to get a new tier, the challenge will skew the decision toward it
shrewd totem
I like the idea but dont think it will happen unless something changes in Scopely HQ
Still put it in #💬-events-feedback as well please
unreal osprey
look, if the offer seems reasonable to me, I could pay it, the problem with this company is that of those offers there are 1 or 2 at most
knotty birch
Scopely aren’t ripping us off anymore, they’ve removed the $99 vault of Latinum!
devout talon
It won't happen, I'm aware.
It's a significant effort and the game was not entirely designed to have a procedural difficulty.
I think at this stage it would be impossible for devs to go back, the changes are too big.
Nonetheless just felt like sharing
nova sierra
if devs were to completely redo things, they should have made it more like DAoC .... you are whatever faction you choose. live/work in your space... go hunting in other spaces
nova sierra
and no ability to have kling/rom/fed crews on same ship
shrewd totem
You have 3 factions that hate each other but you are friends with all 3.How is that possible
unreal osprey
#👾-bug-reporting go to see
devout talon
risk can be analysed and mitigated if the benefits are worth it, if they had any idea about how to manage a project 😄
shrewd totem
😅
devout talon
you just need to properly pitch the idea to finance so they approve it for the next AOP
unreal osprey
Scopely has to fix their game before trying to get more money out of our wallets, or at some point the game won't generate enough for them and they will close it
shrewd totem
They cant fix it if they dont gain money
That is why they need to release new content once in a while while another team fixing bugs in the background
nova sierra
mini-missions.... deliever this, rescue that.... not big rewards, but lots of things to do
shrewd totem
If they dont gain money they will just shut the game down
crisp jasper
multiple factions was a terrible idea, but we're stuck with it because they were too lazy to fix the lock bug. Now we all pay the price of yet another stupid mechanic
shrewd totem
Yeah
I like it for the benefits,nice to get more ships and be safe in galaxy from police but it is just illogical and would be more fun if game was single faction
I sometimes wish I never went triple 😅
crisp jasper
Yes - we all like it because it makes the game tolerable and compensates for other fundamental defects in the game
unreal osprey
@shrewd totem if they do not fix the game they lose potential income, how many players leave the game due to such a large number of errors? or because of the insane difficulty curve?
shrewd totem
Currently I think more is joining than leaving 🤷♂️
unreal osprey
and how many of those "players" are accounts of other players?
shrewd totem
It is perfect time for mobile games IMO and with Borg content and referral program I think they did quiet a good job making more people join the game
nova sierra
that goes back to the DAoC concept I mentioned earlier... think of a big pie cut into three pieces, with a center section...
-Middle part is constant battle... King of the hill style.
-You live and do basic content in your space
-Possible to venture in other faction space, but the Cops are A LOT tougher than what we deal with. Plus, other players
crisp jasper
I do question how many of those players are actually new players.
shrewd totem
Wish they released some data 😐
crisp jasper
When I started the game, I thought factions mattered and that I would be fighting players of the other factions in pvp somehow
devout talon
releasing data is asking for trouble.
easy to say something stupid that will upset investors
shrewd totem
True 😅
unreal osprey
@shrewd totem this game is missing many things, it will have good things, but not enough
shrewd totem
Probably why they are so secretive
Well you have CS and #💭-suggestions you have good ideas you want to see in game?Sure post those in there and Devs do read this discord,even if they dont we forward the feedback to them🤷♂️
And believe or not they did implemented some of those ideas in the past like warp cancel
unreal osprey
of course, if you ask them for better prizes at the events or better offers in the store, they are able to show you the middle finger
shrewd totem
Ah not really
They did change CoW based on feedback
They did give us more fac hunts based on feedback
They did changed BfG to 24 hours from 8 based on feedback etc etc
nova sierra
how about a decent refinery?
shrewd totem
They did boost that as well after 4g release
nova sierra
no way someone should get 0 unc after a 75k refine
shrewd totem
Was it enough?Prob not but better than 1 year ago🤷♂️
unreal osprey
that the mining ships have more protected load capacity, the nodes are larger and harvesting at a higher speed would not be bad
obtuse otter
Ship bp packs contain more bps.
nova sierra
need a guaranteed minimum
shrewd totem
Oh and they did add more mining nodes based on feedback last year
obtuse otter
T1 faction ships are free
shrewd totem
You are correct Wisky
They also did those and many other stuff thanks to community's feedback
Is the game perfect? Of course not.But at least they listen and try to make it better
unreal osprey
@shrewd totem
TheBatManhoy a las 17:49
Ah not really
They did change CoW based on feedback (they haven't changed enough)
They did give us more fac hunts based on feedback (You are right)
They did changed BfG to 24 hours from 8 based on feedback etc etc (I don't know what the BfG is)
shrewd totem
Havent enough?Then give your feedback in correct channels again
BfG is an solo event.Before your time it was happening every 8 hours now it is every 24 hours
obtuse otter
Oh, this is #🏆-event-chat. That's right. #👾-bug-reporting kinda busy rn... epic rant in progress
unreal osprey
but what is BfG?
shrewd totem
Battle for glory
The solo event you have right now but the version that isnt related to CoW
knotty birch
That was great every 8 hours!
shrewd totem
People complained and asked for it to be changed 🤷♂️
knotty birch
Terrible now it’s every 24 hours. A few minutes and event is done for the day
shrewd totem
They would probably revert it back if there was enough complaining but there wasnt
There were some complaining but it wasnt like fac hunt one
knotty birch
Who on earth wants less potential rewards from an event?
unreal osprey
What I think they will have to do with the nodes is make them much larger and faster and that the mining ships have at least 1/5 or 1/4 of protected capacity.
abstract gate
Is the ISS jelly event still a thing. Here in S11 we have had one every month. Of course not April as I’m ready for push. Lol
shrewd totem
There are much bigger nodes in deep space 🤷♂️
Like 1m+
@abstract gate it is still a thing but no date of when it will happen again
unreal osprey
only can reach 25k nodes...
shrewd totem
And no they shouldn't change protected cargo
It is fine
I want to steal cargo!
That is because you dont have enough warp range
I can reach 90k ones 🤷♂️
unreal osprey
i know i have small ships... only ops 25
shrewd totem
Yeah but 25k is more than enough for lvl25 ops
You cant even refine triple batches or can you?
unreal osprey
It is not enough if you can not take them because they are always busy
unreal osprey
unfortunately it is a server where RoE is followed and there is no plan to start a war for a node
shrewd totem
That is your choice 🤷♂️
rare escarp
What kind of RoE?
shrewd totem
In my server it is quiet easy to get a node below w40 even with RoE
rare escarp
We have RoE too and you can kill a ship on a 0 node or opc
rare escarp
Nobody ever goes 0? That's dedication
unreal osprey
yes there are nodes at 0 sometimes, but they either take them before you or their mining ships are much stronger than the ones you have in combat
rare escarp
Ohhh yes. That sucks.
shrewd totem
Ask help from alliance 🤷♂️
rare escarp
That's why it's cool to have big and low guys in an alliance
shrewd totem
Share nodes with alliance members
That is probably one of the biggest benefits of being in an alliance
unreal osprey
@shrewd totem I have the strongest ships in my alliance, they can do little
shrewd totem
Join a better alliance 🤷♂️
rare escarp
Help your guys get bigger
unreal osprey
@shrewd totem Well, I'm going to a better alliance, I just need a couple of things, that is my language and that it is not an arrogant alliance because it is a better alliance
@rare escarp and how do you want me to help them?
rare escarp
I have no idea how your alliance works so it was just a thought. I know some ppl make it a bit hard to work with them.
Some of our guys don't chat but we check on them to see how they're doing. We encourage each other to participate in events. Hosting armadas and sharing raids sometimes. Make the experience actually fun so they'll want to do better.
Well...that was long. I'll go back to my corner now...
unreal osprey
@rare escarp we do similar here, I have helped make raids so that the little ones can get resources, hosting armadas is a little more difficult, but little by little there are more people who can do them, and what to encourage to participate in events, I don't know in how many events have I done it already, but it doesn't usually have much effect
I am in the alliance in which I am because of the language, since the game does not have a translation button for chat ... but sometimes it is frustrating to have to be the one to get the alliance to win any prize, there is no mining event in which I do not make about 50% of the points
rare escarp
Mmm...well yeah. You need a new one.
unreal osprey
they are trying to merge with another alliance of the same language, but they are so stubborn that they do not accept, they lose many awards because of that and it is something that has been going on for 2 or 3 months
rare escarp
What language?
unreal osprey
spanish
and about going to bigger alliances ... I get along badly with a couple of members of some of them (if they attack you perfectly but if you attack them you have already messed it up)
rare escarp
Yay! Es dificil encontrar alianzas que hablen español en mi servidor , mueren pronto, pero como estoy acostumbrada al inglés no me hago mucho problema.
unreal osprey
yo puedo leer el ingles medianamente bien, el problema es escribirlo que me veo obligado a usar un traductor y encontrar la palabra correcta para que la frase no se fastidie
rare escarp
Igual es bueno para acostumbrarse jej. Has pensado en formar tu propia alianza? Nosotros siempre reclutamos a los que no estan usando las naves correctas, o están en alianzas muertas.
Si un jugador llega al nivel 23 pero su alianza está compuesta de niveles 2-10, es porque le pone ganas al juego. Obviamente ayuda no tuvo
quiet rock
Is there anyway to find out the date of the next jelly event?
abstract gate
Nope
unreal osprey
@rare escarp ya, toca ver que voy a hacer, pero empiezo a cansarme de no poder ganar premios decentes
steady scaffold
How long wasn't JS event?
safe lynx
This is ridiculous! I have a player who joined my alliance in the middle of the Crucible event. She is scoring towards her personal event but not scoring towards the ALB or Alliance Milestone events. Please tell me this is an error <@&509691205798592532> @novel hollow
And just to be clear, the player joined and scored at least one point before my alliance hit the first milestone
shrewd totem
No
dapper drum
can't join an alliance during an event
