It’s not an error that’s the way it works
dapper drum
no points will be awarded from or to that player
shrewd totem
Not sure why you tagged Rand 😂
dapper drum
Randsusi is all knowing
safe lynx
Because he reads this discord more than I do, and yeah, he's my ally
kindred arch
"I choose you pokemon"
safe lynx
@shrewd totem@dapper drum I'm sorry, but that's illogical. Why can't somebody join while an event is ongoing?
dapper drum
because people abuse this by stacking players into 1 alliance when a good event comes up
dapper drum
once an event starts anyone that joins or leaves alliance won't be able to participate in it
safe lynx
That still doesn't make sense. The event is about alliance coordination.
dapper drum
makes perfect sense
stops people from taking the most active players from their feeders during an event
you have to work with what you got at the start
teal jackal
people jumping into different alliances could also collect multiple rewards.
dapper drum
also gives commodores and admirals the ability to enforce activity
teal jackal
Stack one alliance, finish the event, then everyone jumps to another alliance to do it again.
safe lynx
The multiple rewards problem doesn't bother me because those people will actually be contributing
@teal jackal the problem with that is that I don't know this event is coming
dapper drum
same reason they added an 8 hour cooldown on leaving and joining alliances to get free help
safe lynx
If there were a published schedule of events, you could make that argument, but it's a much weaker argument when there is no published schedule of events
dapper drum
there is no event calendar because scopely would lose income
teal jackal
Not really. You always know events are coming up. Just don't know what.
dapper drum
people would plan for the events accordingly
teal jackal
And I'm not ok with a bunch of whales finishing a crucible event in 12 hours, then jumping to another Alliance to do it again and again.
These alliance rewards are huge. People abuse the system so now we have to deal with the consequences
safe lynx
@scopely give me a fuxking event calendar please
Or at least let me know a crucible event is starting beforehand, like with borg event arcs
safe lynx
I get it. It was slightly frivolous
shrewd totem
Event calendar isnt happening
dapper drum
if people could actually plan for events they wouldn't have to buy packs last moment
safe lynx
@teal jackal the reality is there's an easy fix for what you're arguing. Just make it so that each player can only receive each Alliance Milestone reward once
shrewd totem
They already have a fix and it works fine
dapper drum
that would require scopely to pay the devs more
obtuse otter
Why change the subject? Event calendar wouldn't make a difference
teal jackal
Easy is relative. You assume Scopely has competent programers. 🤣
shrewd totem
Dont leave alliance during an event
dapper drum
this game is all about profit margin not user satisfaction
shrewd totem
Easy fix 🤷♂️
dapper drum
sucks they make an enjoyable game aggravating
obtuse otter
Join new alliance during event. Can't score for new alliance til next event. Makes sense to me
shrewd totem
The fix we have right now is much simpler than what you are offering
Why spend extra time and money on something that is working?
safe lynx
@obtuse otter event calendar would help me recruit players who want to compete inside the alliance in our internal informal competitions. I could tell players who are seeking to join that this event is upcoming, and it would make them want to join for the specific event. That's the case with crucible
shrewd totem
So you are wanting a special calendar just for you? So you can recruit people?🤣
obtuse otter
What's the difference? Join the alliance or don't.
safe lynx
It's not working@shrewd totem. Theonly thing it's doing is disincentivizing my player whom I recruited in the middle of the event from continuing to kill hostiles and play once her individual milestones are completed. That's all it's doing
shrewd totem
It says when you leave an alliance
safe lynx
@obtuse otter that's not the way things work in practice
safe lynx
@shrewd totem obviously she didn't realize that, but we're past that now. This is bad policy
shrewd totem
Not really
shrewd totem
It is something works for everyone and if that person actually bothered to read this wouldnt happen.So instead of blaming Scopely blame him/her being lazy and not reading the warning
safe lynx
this game is all about profit margin not user satisfaction
@dapper drum while it may be reality, the two are intertwined, and I don't accept this
obtuse otter
No reason to get upset. It's good policy and probably won't be changing
raw zenith
Rading is hurd
shrewd totem
That is reading is hard JC!
safe lynx
I don't get upset. I'm engaging in serious debate and dialogue right @novel hollow ?
shrewd totem
👀
raw zenith
Hard?
raw zenith
Policy is there for a reason.
shrewd totem
Blame Scopely for everything.Amazing 😂
raw zenith
Prevents people from being in one alliance getting milestones then jumping to another alliance and getting those milestones and so on
safe lynx
I just solved that problem@raw zenith. Just prevent the game from awarding the same rewards twice to the same player, like they do for every other event
shrewd totem
Noooo I want to recruit people.Give me a special event calendar if you are going to fix abusing game mechanics!
Oh and fix something that is working fine again!In a more complex way!
raw zenith
It’s not changing. Disadvantages to leaving an alliance are common knowledge
shrewd totem
There is literally no reason to change it
obtuse otter
There's always the next event
raw zenith
Well got to go kill some feds
noble oar
Why can't we raid UC/R g3/G4 :(?
obtuse otter
Is that a serious question?
hardy parcel
Because if we could everyone would quit as soon as they got raided.
noble oar
I'm as serious as the refinery is perfectly tuned Cheap 🙂
merry fulcrum
Because I'm sure you want to have to shield 24/7 which is literally impossible as a free to play@noble oar
You can wait and get your own 3* on your own time
carmine lily
it's not impossible if you're in a good alliance that can win events.
formal stag
when using a franklin to kill hostiles during the current CoW event, it says i only got 1 point. i was expecting 10 points(1pt for hostile, 9 pts for using franklin)
is this a visual glitch bug? or are we only getting 1 pt for this instead of the expected 10 points?
carmine lily
you are getting 10 points. never trust the popup, it only shows the first score.
formal stag
ah k thanks
carmine lily
every ships you use will popup with 1 point, but they all get the correct amount of bonus points if you check your score in the alliance menu.
obtuse otter
The total score is correct in the banner, but it doesn't show the ship bonus added on. Just "+1"
carmine lily
even the total score is sometimes inccorect as it can show all the scores your alliance has earned since your last hit.
obtuse otter
I understand that, but it shows the correct score on mine. Every hostile killed was added onto the total, but "+1" is displayed.
carmine lily
doesn't even show the +1 anymore once you finish all the aliiance milestones.
vagrant relic
I don’t need too many Parsteel but only need Tritanium😭
carmine lily
total alliance score is correct, but single kill score is way off due to multiple people hunting at the same time.
vagrant relic
I hate PvP at all, because make my feel so bad...🤬
obtuse otter
Hard to say whose points are added when, but I proved score is accurate with screenshots earlier. Posted in Lcars... don't ask which one 😁
fluid tartan
Is there another Borg event coming?
hardy parcel
Yes
fluid tartan
Is there a date/announcement somewhere? 👍🏼
obtuse otter
@fluid tartan Not yet, but hopefully soon
carmine lily
we've got 2 events we actually got a scedule for this month. Any other content will likely just show up whenever scopely pleases. their record says they're not likely to tell much of anything until release day.
shrewd totem
There is a huge gap between fac hunt and Fractured empire 🤔
dreamy root
Ship events
jaunty knoll
I find this curious. So far in the cow event I have not finished the solo part while other alliance members have. Yet in the rankings of alliance members in the alliance event I am ranked #1. Wondering how that's possible
weak copper
You must be hitting higher value hostiles or have you tired up a ship?
robust vapor
Well. Woke up this morning and the alliance milestone event was finished 😴🖖 Scopely should make it harder 😆
graceful shard
This event was much harder last time. I think we should double the rewards and double the milestone score to 4m
robust vapor
We still finished it a day early last time 🤷♂️ and it looks like several in my Alliance missed out on rewards from the first couple of tiers 😬
I think adding some more milestones to achieve would be nice, leave it basically as but keep it going to 4m maybe 🤔
Though if they can work it out to reward for all milestones and not just from where you first scored they could ease the T1 requirements and maybe make a bunch more alliance milestone events 😁
lean coyote
Hi there, does anybody know if the rush for 20 events will come again?
robust vapor
@lean coyote Scopely don't make the schedule public.
dapper drum
scopely don't make a schedule at all 🤔
robust vapor
Well some stuff is "planned", but honestly how would you know either way; they're not held accountable this way 🤷♂️
carmine lily
you nailed it right there. They don't want to be accountable for anything. They know everything they're doing is a psych game and a lot of it is shady at best, but that's the state of gaming these days.
you can't be blamed for something being late if you never told anyone when it would happen in the first place.
remember "coming soon"?
white river
@lean coyote yeah I want an event like that to come back but sadly as other people have pointed out Scopely doesn’t make their schedule for events public
carmine lily
a good reason for that is that would would prepare for them, I mean look what happens every sunday as people prepare for mining mondays.
buoyant niche
hi guys im having trouble finding the novice transfer token i look where it told me to an not there
any one else have same problem
anyone there
earnest citrus
@buoyant niche Are you level 12 or under?
earnest citrus
Then it should be in your Gifts section, where you collect your 10min, 4h and 24h trophies
buoyant niche
thats what i have be told but cant see it lol
earnest citrus
Is it possible you've already collected it?
buoyant niche
maybe but i cant see apac sever in my settings
shrewd totem
Then not available to your server yet
buoyant niche
oh ok
earnest citrus
Then you should contact support. Like Batman says, it's either not available on your server, or some people didn't get the token for whatever reason. Contact support to confirm either way.

yer i will

For now dont go over lvl12

no lolol

is there going to be a new station event where the tiers are based on spending materials?
(sorry if this was asked before)

@frail ice there is that event already. I get that form of station event plus a similar one for ships & research. Not sure if it’s level-based, but I am lvl 39

upper knot
The event rewards say limit 2 but the cooldown implies I will be able to buy again. Am I interpreting this correctly, I can buy again.
shrewd totem
That shouldnt have happened 🤔
I guess you finished event sooner than they anticipated
upper knot
So I should be able to buy again, yes?
upper knot
That picture is from yesterday. This is how it looks today
The difference between cooldown and availability changed by a few hours
upper knot
Very odd
weak copper
For a “choose your own rewards” event, having a limit on the reward packs is dumb. Should let people choose as many of a particular pack as their tokens will allow
They don’t need to artificially limit everything all the time. Throw us a bone every now and then.
waxen vault
These upgrade events are useless as long as the refinery outputs are so sucky.
formal elk
Agree. They are terrible
ashen briar
But then you might not give them your stimulus check!

I love the upgrade events, I just wish they would switch the station events to be similar to the new research events
bronze fractal
I completed the third day of the solo rewards and its not enough gold trophies for a full pull in the recruiting option. Did i miss something?

@bronze fractal no, gold trophies are carried forward. CoW and BFG give the same trophies

Have they announced when the last Borg event will start?
marble zodiac
Anyone else getting a bug? I kill a hostil with my saladin and am only getting one point in the milestone event, not 30 like I am supposed to
abstract gate
Okay so then answer it lol
robust vapor
@marble zodiac banner has this problem every event where Multiple sources of points exist. If you compare actual points you should see 30 is added (though difficult to check if in an active alliance).
obtuse otter
Give that man a relocation token 👆
devout talon
hey mods, I like the new ship upgrade LSB event.
but it's unclear to me if the old ship xp events are gone forever?
I haven't seen one since the new ones came out
earnest citrus
Some servers still have ship xp events, some don't. We don't know yet.
devout talon
well, I won two. now I'm out of rares.
certainly won't level up another faction ship and waste months of rare/uc materials on it just to participate 🙂
ashen wharf
Congrats on getting baited
devout talon
no bait, I am happy of those I won, I had to upgrade sally and was waiting for a replicator rebate.
officier shards is much much better than a handful of UCs.
but I had some ship xp saved for the others that feels wasted for now
I just would like to see them both, rather than only one
shrewd totem
We dont know as well
Old ones might come or might not.But last I saw those new events were released to all servers recently
jaunty knoll
So once again this event stinks even though they lowered thresholds. Alliances with low level players are screwed
shrewd totem
🤦🏻♂️
robust vapor
Do daily solo milestone events and you'll get most of the alliance milestone done if you have a decent number of members.
shrewd totem
Dont waste your breath Order
robust vapor
56 members doing their solo daily will finish the alliance event just in the trophies alone, not including any points earned for the hostiles killed. If you can't get a good chunk of it done, then your alliance needs more active members 🤷♂️
jaunty knoll
Lower level players have ship experience events
junior moss
Gigantic joke by Scopely.
Spend 39 rares to get 1 rare 🤡
And no, we don't have ship xps anymore.
jaunty knoll
Ask level 10 players
junior moss
Lol. We don't have L10 on our server anymore. And until past week we had ship xps event.
jaunty knoll
No new players at all?
We actually have players who don't advance beyong level 9 intentionally
shrewd totem
@robust vapor he is a guy that thinks some weird crew is better than Pike crew in PvE😂,plus we had this convo during last CoW as well.He complains about everything 
@junior moss language
jaunty knoll
Funny thing is they said our server was closed and all of a sudden it opened up
shrewd totem
If you call alt accounts new players then 🤷♂️

Well it's not like we did get special refinery for TWO days past 6 months. With first day being caped 🤡👌
Previously we had CTA every month. With special refinery. But no. Let's encourage players to pay 🤣
summer vortex
i know how i can buy them. but instead i would like to collect them as said. so where can that be done?

no you buy them in the store. colecting in basic language means something else
buying and collecting is in my dictionary 2 different words
summer vortex
is buying i know so that collecting is lie

yeah that badges too. you really cant get them by pvp

Derp, thanks for the reminder! I got so caught up in CoW I forgot about faction hunt

For once they actual told us when two events will run.
Of course watch something go wrong and no faction hunt tomorrow. You all will burn the discord and we'll never get info again. 🤣
noble oar
Now if they'd give a date on final borg arc...but I guess that'll be june
chilly venture
I would say after the faction event, since they put the other event we voted for at the end of the month ?
earnest hornet
They will probably still be working on the final event, the secret event that only few know about, but the grapevine i've heard about is it may have something to do with Armadas
Borg Style
noble oar
I'm unsure if they'll run that simultaneous Qskal
winged tulip
Taking bets that separatists get borgified before that event!

Borgified is fine as long as they don't get scopelyfied with higher milestones and lower rewards

Domination event.. come on...

jaunty knoll
I can't wait for the cow event to end
keen ledge
Opinions seem to vary based on how big the alliance is and whether they have large or small/medium players. My alliance is mostly small and mid, with a couple larger players, and we had to grind to finish the alliance milestones, but we did in 2 days. Larger alliances with bigger players were done in a single day. Meanwhile, small alliances can't finish.
nova valley
isn't that the point though @keen ledge this event (like military supremacy) is a "check up from the neck up" for alliances. are you healthy enough to truly be a successful alliance? can you withstand tests and trials to come (future events? server merge?) if you cannot hit these milestones in the span of 72 hours?
jaunty knoll
I dont like it because alliances with low level players dont do well at all.
floral trail
I suppose its difficult to pitch the alliance event at the right level. We did ours pretty quickly so I was left going 'what next'..
jaunty knoll
Define truly successful.
nova valley
"competitive"
floral trail
It was nice to be able chose rewards though,
jaunty knoll
Competetive with whom?
nova valley
it just requires activity....
how healhy is your alliance if you're housing 50 inactives?
jaunty knoll
No it requires more than activity. low level players scores dont count
nova valley
this event STIMULATES activity. it shows you your health. if you haven't been able to complete the milestones, then you don't have players doing their part.
yes, they do. lol the VAST majority of points comes from the gold trophies.
fathom scroll
dont even bother explaining it to gams, hes an autismo
nova valley
i needed to kill 70 hostiles with my phindra on my level 14 account lol it's not that hard.
nova valley
and if your alliance is overrun with level 10 players, then you have some growing to do... hence, the statement of the event... you are not a healthy alliance lol, not right now.
maybe one day, but your'e gonna have to grow. change. evolve.
jaunty knoll
Disagree with whether that makes one healthy
Most events are scaled to size and level this one isnt
nova valley
being able to earn event rewards makes an alliance healthy. if you (as an alliance) cannot stimulate the growth of your players through teamwork and event rewards, youre failing as an alliance.
it's ABSOLUTELY scaled.
100% scaled lol
just like if you can't help your teammates raid, then you're failing the growth of your younger players. there's multiple temperature checks.
jaunty knoll
No it isnt. awards are available to all levels, you dont compete with higher level players
merry fulcrum
Come on scopely, first you didn't put threat from beyond into a folder, and now I don't have a faction hunt in the proper location? this is a major PRIORITY please fix this ASAP!!!
jaunty knoll
Raiding is a waste of time and effort
jaunty knoll
no
noble oar
Umm why do we suddenly need to earn 50% more points for the faction hunt?
obtuse otter
You're wasting your breath. He just wants to argue
nova valley
wow. ok. you're missing the key to a HUGE component of this game. if you don't see the value in it, then you're missing a core component. why play a game half way?
trollsville is 30 miles west. have a safe trip.
jaunty knoll
Disagree. It's only a small portion of the game.
merry fulcrum
@noble oar that way you stop voting for faction hunt
simple spear
Is it just me or did the points for faction increase again
jaunty knoll
Many folks play the game well without raiding at all. Have level 30 account as F2P and dont raid at all
merry fulcrum
Scopely can't afford to keep giving them out for free
noble oar
Hehe that was my first idea too @merry fulcrum
jaunty knoll
heading to level 31.
noble oar
50% at 31. From 610 to 915

i dont call what you do playing well

@uneven dove it's so you guys stop wanting faction hunt

I wouldn't call it hard, just time consuming

It's boring tbh, but it's worthwhile

it's still such a valuable event. but damn.

Typical scopely dick move...increase milestone by 50% with no reward increase 🚮

jaunty knoll
im still voting for this event because no matter what the rewards are better than any other event
abstract gate
I didn't vote for this
merry fulcrum
Fractured empire is way better than faction hunt
dense lantern
Why has the top reward tier in faction hunt increased by 300 points?
abstract gate
Try 600 for lvl38...utter garbage people at scopely
dense lantern
Ask people to vote for events so they can work out how to screw us over.
abstract gate
Exactly 50% increase to top milestone... <@&509691205798592532> is this intentional?
dense lantern
Oh, you like that event... let me just make it harder...
merry fulcrum
So you experiment with other events, everyone who says faction hunt is the best event seems to have either 1. Never experienced fracture empire, or forgot about it, lol
That's my opinion, faction hunt isn't the best event
meager wing
Faction hunt sucks.
teal jackal
well people were complaining that it was too easy. We told you, Scopely listens.
noble oar
People also say you should inject disinfectants to cure covid, hope they don't listen to that...
merry fulcrum
Sometimes people should keep their mouths shut, lol
obtuse otter
It was too easy. But now it's too hard.
uneven dove
Maybe scopely should listen to that
noble oar
It still isn't hard, just time consuming
uneven dove
270 kills is not to easy
merry fulcrum
Honestly it was perfect before
uneven dove
They do this every 10 events. Increase difficulty. So @twilit imp can apologize
merry fulcrum
If I remember correctly, I used to get 750 credits from this event, now I get 700 credits
uneven dove
We hear you.
It has been investigated and turned out some intern increased difficulty because he was fired. We will give you the rewards.
winged tulip
it wasn't faction hunt we complained about, it was the other one - the 8 hour event changed to 24h with no increase in difficulty or rewards
abstract gate
An increase in difficulty with no increase in rewards is a punishment...so tell us <@&509690795536941056> what did we do to deserve this? 🚮
merry fulcrum
They added a bit of officer xp though 🤣😂@abstract gate

Made 1st level faction hunt already
which is more than we got out of alliance cow event

50% increase in points required, 0% increase in rewards. This sounds exactly like corporate America at work.
3 more days of cow would have been better, far better rewards

silent horizon
Omg people, stop complaining soo much. Constantly complaining. So what, the event takes 10 more minutes per faction to complete. Big deal. From all the weird stuff scopely tried to pull, this is quite low on the list of things to be mad about. Stop being cry babies. Bear in mind, this event should not even be happening, since it did not win the vote. I find it a sign of good faith from scopely for giving us faction hunt again. Do the event, or do not. There is no try.
abstract gate
The biggest insult is making us vote for how we want to be screwed over....scopely has no shame
potent night
at least you didn't have to 'join' the event this time...but they should make the reward proportional to the difficulty
abstract gate
@silent horizon 10 mins per? Mine went up 50-60 hostiles per that's closer to 30mins per
silent horizon
Per faction?
For me, it takes a total of 30 minutes for all 3 factions
30 minutes extra that is
nova valley
lol @silent horizon i echo your sentiment, BUT, mine went up a ton LOL but i dn't have the most impressive ships either lol
abstract gate
We might have lockdown but we also have familys and lives ffs
radiant galleon
There’s no more crucible events left?
merry fulcrum
Nope
radiant galleon
Well that sucks. We finally got an alliance event people really like the rewards from
merry fulcrum
Yeah, there's 2 sides to this, I do think it's easy, but I'm able to grind hostiles 3 levels above where the game thinks I should be grinding at
So people who are my level range and still stuck using a Kumari will struggle with this event
That'll probably be 2 or 3 extra repairs for them
So how bad this event is depends on how your ships are, and if you've got pike
uneven dove
Killing 320 ships a day with work, house, kids is challenge
Making it 500+ is saying “ f... y.. customer”

For the same rewards if they increased them don’t think anyone would have a issue
It’s like buying a car for 20k then buying one for the wife the next week for 30k for the same car

@twilit imp I’m not sure who is the decision maker on these recent event changes...but they are definitely not in touch with the pulse of the community. Faction Hunt was already disproportionately more difficult for high level players. I have a lvl 29 account and i only needed to obtain 500 points and i can easily kill 36s for 10..thats 50 ships. My lvl 40 account...i only get 12 points for a 40+ ship and needed 1220 points...that 102 ships...now i need over 1800 points???? And the recent change to daily ship events...from spending ship XP to 4star mats...the ranked event on my server had zero participants yesterday. It’s no wonder 2 level 41 players in our alliance have quit the game in the last 30 days...the extreme difficultly in completing events...along with the absolutely insane amounts of par steel needed...I’m 2 buildings away from unlocking opps 41 myself...and thats $400 not to include the cost of opps itself. So...above 40, the grind is extreme, the repair costs on a 4star faction ship is the equivalent of $30-$40 worth of titanium for a single repair...and...its a progression game where players can no longer progress...i see this game dying out in the very near future, the developers simply do not want us to play the game above level 40
winged tulip
Would be nice if hitting veteran mobs gave bonus points too, to go with the extra damage increase
noble oar
Seedoo getting 40+ requires insane amounts of cash, are you surprised playing it requires cash? On my server people are actively discouraged to go there and told 40+ is currently a trap where STFC goes from P2W to P2P
nova valley
there's no "structure" to the vets @winged tulip we actually talked about this on yesterday's show. ship powers are different across MOST systems. not every single one. but a lot of them are diff.
winged tulip
Add a system like wolf to each faction space and i'll be happy
... and a system with only lvl40 spawns for the next damn supremacy event actually

Btw this is actually the second time scopely have increased fh milestones without upping the rewards to match

The increased points for tiering up ships, though.
But yea. Don't like it either. 720 last week, now 1080 (at 32)

yeah, just tier up your enterprise a and you can finish one of the three faction hunts LMAO
tribal elbow
letting us vote for a event we like and then giving us worse version of it is kinda messed up
frail anvil
Expect nothing less from scopely now, just boggles my mind how they think this is an acceptable way to treat customers
white river
It’s funny how they have us vote on events and last week I had to get a max of 230 points for faction hunt and a week later it’s now increased to 345 points (lvl 22). This is such a joke.

I went from 720 to 1080

have scopely done away with the race to ops event? Read that someone say the last time it occurred was Feb

from 840 pts to 1260 pts, for the same rewards, thank you scopely, we understood the message: we like this event to progress at a lower cost in the faction in which we save credits to get a better ship, without spending real money, then you make this event more restrictive ...
hollow oriole
like i said in Galaxy, this is just a crying, knee-jerk reaction to ruin an event players like
i dread what they are going to ruin for Separatists in 2 weeks
white river
They probably will ruin it in some way I’m sure of it
Wasn’t there a race to ops event back in Jan or Feb of this year?
hollow oriole
yea, there were several back to back and then they vanished again
noble oar
I actually wouldn't mind the point increase if they'd also fixed the points given at the same time. Killing a red 3 levels below me gives 6 points, killing one 3 levels above me gives 9 points. I think we all know those 6 levels is much more than a 50% increase in the power of said hostiles
dapper drum
changing the points per hostile isn't the problem
increasing the rewards for the added effort is whats needed
charred shadow
Or just leave them alone to begin with
noble oar
Eh I'd enjoy the event a lot more if it actually rewarded me for killing tougher enemies to a decent degree

I for one can say that not everyone is at home all day everyday. I've been working my ass off trying to keep groceries in grocery stores. Please fix this.

They could at least increase the rewards in line with the increase in effort required... just shitty behaviour tbh

This new event review is a bullshit... for satisfy big players, have damaged the rest. I think that scopely wants that this game close. This is another work... crazy crazy and so crazy. I evaluate to leave the game. This is not really. BULL SHIT 💩

I was wondering why it took me longer to get it done they made it more difficult by 30%. We voted for the event as it existed, not a revised version that sucks

@wild coyote is seeking information on how the Jellyfish acquisition can be done now for free. I got it a year ago but our best information says it's changed since then. Can anyone tag either him or I with what must be done? Has anyone achieved it through missions and events in the last 3 months? Thank you.

50% increase in points required for faction hunt. 0% increase in payout. Scopely strikes again.

Are scopley deliberately pissing off players to detract from the lack of borg finale?

Dear Scopely... whenever you “think” hey this is gonna be a great idea, the players/payers are gonna love... write it down on some 2 ply tp and flush it... it what you should have done with this more work the same rewards program you implemented for faction hunt... you take an event folks liked and made it taste awful...

Yes no increase in rewards just an increase in the cost and effort to achieve them

F this faction point increase. No thanks.
keen ledge
We understand your frustration. The team has advised that the difficulty will revert to its original level tommorow.
🤞
waxen galleon
Well, no increase in rewards and a 50% hike to completion has to have been a joke. They sat in a room and said, yeah, let’s do that and see how they like it.
Has nothing to do with difficulty. Has to do with time spent vs reward payout.
south arrow
We better get a compensation chest for all this crap
keen ledge
That, I cannot address, unfortunately.
nova valley
Unfortunately I believe when we “expect” or “demand” a compensation chest for something that really had no MAJOR affect on ability to play...... meh. I’m just saying we shouldn’t shout for compensation all the time. The rewards are still awesome. More epic than we got two weeks ago. So let’s not cry wolf everytime something goes awry.
They’re gonna fix it tomorrow. Cool. Perhaps you’d rather just have an extra day to properly earn the materials at the correct milestones vs “demanding” free stuff.
Let pick out battles lol
candid goblet
@nova valley are you really here to support players? Some of us love this game and are frustrated with the amount of hours required to complete the events - players have a right to be upset when events get hiked for no reason within same payout. Some of us have jobs which take all day then come home and the jobs start again at home, what little time left then gets given to family and then if time it’s jump on here and get the events done and then socialise with the community. Before you jump on this and say I have families etc to I’m not disputing that- but actually support our players instead of jumping to defend scopely who have purposely put up the amount of effort required for no reason or explanation.
nova valley
Of course I’m here for the players. Which is why I advised a week or so ago that the constant negativity from this discord is unfruitful. People need to learn to feedback in a positive way. Demanding payment or constant toxic negativity is def not the way to influence change. And that’s not solely directed at you of course. I was more directing it at @south arrow
I’m not defending what they did. Nowhere in that post did I defend their actions. HOWEVER. I will always promote positive feedback. Be frustrated? Absolutely.
You attract more flies with honey than vinegar i believe is the saying.
It’s easy to rant when we’re in a chat room. I always try to picture my son’s kindergarten teacher when typing. If I wouldn’t say it to her I have no business typing it. We need to be friendly, express our concerns, ask for resolution, and be grateful when they offer a fix. Not yell. Stare down. And tell them how worthless they are lol
I guess my point is more about civility than the actual event buff problem itself.
@candid goblet
upper knot
Perhaps they made faction hunt harder because the rewards were already awesome. I don't mind the extra work. Everyone knows this event is one of the best, it makes sense to increase the difficulty.
If it were easy it would be boring
nova valley
Oh trust me. I’m not an advocate for the increased work. I’m still not done. It’s hard at my level. And my ships aren’t quite up to snuff hahhha
BUT I also know a pleasant convo with the devs is gonna get me a lot further than opening with “y’all are trash” lol
candid goblet
@nova valley I agree manners cost nothing and you will get a lot more from anyone by the way you interact - but then you must also understand there are lots of frustrated players who feel let down because changes are made which takes up more of their personal time, some people don’t have the time as it is. If something is going to be increased then at least ensure the rewards are better and worth the extra time required rather than receive nothing extra. The Mods here @keen ledge have done an Outstanding job and jumped all over this, these have my thanks and gratitude 🙏
If someone wants a compensation chest for the extra time they have put in then that’s their right to request, but again as I have said they will get much further if this is done politely.
upper knot
This whole thing is just a distraction from the real issue and question that matters. When will we see a new version of the 6 hour station events?
obtuse otter
People demand compensation for almost any reason. It can reduce credibility of the community and mask the severity of real issues.
That being said, I'd like some compensation for the dozens of times I explained the CoW scoring discrepancy yesterday. tia, llap 😎

@obtuse otter scoring isn't working properly, vidar only 1 point QQ

I know, it was sarcasm

i know 😄 hahahaha
but there are many people on here that just dont get it, no matter how many time it was explained to them 😄 hahaha

I will say, spending the extra time today doing faction hunt, I got my first gladius bp, that's reward enough for me and I'm only level 26
viscid yoke
Scopely might need to dumb down this game
Remove the 1 point for each hostile and just add 1 point to the ship points
high bobcat
How about have the ship shoot 1s and every shot you hit you get 1 point

That would be a nightmare

Or a great April fool's joke

Then stop you from login in for 10 mins

ooh that would be brutal. well played.
send out a you have been attacked notification just before a 4 hour maintenance
river kayak
Believe not so much about “compensation” however more so about the gradual and consistent movement of requirements to complete events up without a proportional increase of reward. Can say “give feedback pleasantly” and hope for a bone to be thrown but really just that in many cases. Sense is that players are gradually being worn down to just accept. Is fine if that’s the business model, can also accept a high potential for lowering player base and lifespan of the game. IMO
robust vapor
Eh, they just need to increase the points for killing higher level hostiles. I've no incentive even with the points to kill anything that'll even scratch my paint 😴

And speaking of the continued crap events, would they please revert our ship events back to not being absolute 💩 like this?
The rewards for this pile of crap are a joke.

but the only time i do ship eventss is if there are doubles
same with officer events

They want me to spend 500mil trit and 2000k UC 4* ore to earn back 28 UC ore?

They need to share what they are smoking.

I don't disagree with your feedback on those. The new ship and officer events are not my preference.

Personally I never cared for the ship XP events, nothing I cared about in the rewards and Scopely are tight with the ship XP.. at least now I can get something back when I upgrade my ships

still get the g4 miner ones
so that forces you to upgrade those epic ships
modest oyster
didn't kill too many traders today so not sure but... pretty sure they still drop 🙂
noble oar
My main frustration is they didn't make this event harder, just even more grind intensive. If there's one thing this game doesn't need it's more grinding. Fine for me if you want to make it harder but do it by lowering the points I get for killing lower ops ships but also boosting the points I get by killing ships my ops and higher by a fair margin to more accurately reflect the power differences
carmine lily
that doesn't really make it harder either. only real way to make it harder is to require only higher level targets.
wicked arrow
I don't think they can make it harder. If you have Pike and Max Chen hostile hunts are meaningless. If you make it hard for people with Pike it would be impossible for those without.
carmine lily
yeah pretty much. The only event so far that's really been hard is that one that only a select few people ever get.
noble oar
fair enough, would just be nice if the points more closely matched the points given. 670k ships 9 points, 154k ships 6 points
carmine lily
there are a lot of events where its more economical to hit lower level ships. the tradeoff is it takes a bit longer.
meanwhile the big guys hit one ship and score more than we can in an entire week of grinding.
stuck geode
Btw remember the Interstitial for Alliance Celebration starts tomorrow
robust vapor
@carmine lily level 45+ ships for 13 points, I don't think this is one of those events 😂
Also you never got back to me about the lat stealing last week? 🥺 My testing this and last week show that no points were lost at all..
stuck geode
You loss points for lossing lat. You have to restart the app.
But you can still trade lat at the beginning if you don't want to mine all day
robust vapor
@stuck geode freshly restarted. Only one of those solo events takes away points, which means one should be less the equivalent of 1312 stolen latinum 👍
But you know, it's not I checked this out last week or this morning before raising it or anything 😴👍
stuck geode
Yes you loss points in the ranked solo. The individual you don't or the alliance. But you can't steal points in the alliance one.
robust vapor
.. have you looked at the screenshot?
Maybe read the scores in the two solo events first..
robust vapor
Not when I tested it last week it didn't, and not when I did my overnight this morning.
stuck geode
Interesting. It must be broke on your server.
empty lark
So they doubled the requirement of Faction Hunt without changing the rewards. Any place this was announced or are they hoping people don't notice?
stuck geode
They changed when I pointed out I could generate millions of points an minute via trading.
robust vapor
Could be any number of things, I'm sure.. all I know is that it's not deducting for me, two for two. If people can take screenshots next time they get hit maybe, lot me 👍
stuck geode
Not like they will fix it. So shrug
robust vapor
Yeah, we had one alliance doing that, always dominated the leaderboard before.
stuck geode
I do it every week.
Lol
I hate mining. Go to borg space is the easiest way to give 9m points to someone
robust vapor
I have no friends and prefer not to make too many enemies 😂
stuck geode
It's nice having friends in these type of events
Instant finish the event with out mining for hours
robust vapor
Ah, I just set up overnight. 3/4 finished when I wake up. I'm just mining for my contribution to alliance for most of the day.
stuck geode
I not giving scopely money for a pig.
Stealing lat is better
I won't get the pig for a few more months. Lol. But I have lots of parts from winning the solo events.
😂
robust vapor
I've got 2 😁 it was pretty cheap and second was free. Admittedly though if I'd known they'd have free options after all and just how slow mining lat is.. might not have..
But horizon and faction miners set up the day before, if you're willing to sacrifice the ships, and you can get a nice start on the event.
I need to pull my weight in events though, and can't compete with those G4 miners, so mine mine mine 😴
stuck geode
Ya or... Just kill all the other miners 😈
robust vapor
I get up a little late to get the best picks.. but when I was chasing the leaderboard, yeah, doubled my usual all day mining score 😶

Anywho have a good night. Got to get back out there and kill some of those players flying around.

AoW had event store and Fractured empire was the solo/lb events
So if it isnt advertised as AoW part x,I wouldnt expect an event store
earnest hornet
@robust vapor if you look inside both of the events they both have steal lat in them, so that’s why they both have the same number.... yes given I know that the solo milestone in theory shouldn’t but that is what it is.
robust vapor
@earnest hornet read the detail on that steal lat more closely
earnest hornet
Oh right, i get ya, didnt' go in further 😄 haha
robust vapor
😉 .
earnest hornet
the lose part isn't in both of them 😄 haha,
I blame it on it's too late at night and i need another coffee 😄 hahahaha
robust vapor
It's ok, I'm used to no one believing me 😅 and I've not looked closely enough at things a few times myself 🧐
earnest hornet
but i do agree with it not calculating properly sometimes, because i remember early on the stolen amount actually added to my points and not taken away 😄 so it was actually beneficial for me to leave the Overcargo 😄 hahaha
thats how I topped the leaderboard the first few times before it was fixed 😄 hahaha
robust vapor
Huh, that would be beneficial..
I just wanted to check if it does or doesn't include the excess mined in your score, and I got this broken mess instead 😂
earnest hornet
ahh right, yeah it does still count the overcargo that you've mined, so in comparison you only really lose 5 points per Lat, because of the 25 gained for mining it and then the 30 loss.
so you do lose out in the same sense, but not a full 30 points..... well suppsed to anyway 😄
when it works properly
robust vapor
That's what I thought, but another guy insisted that it doesn't count the excess mined.. but my testing is different 😂
earnest hornet
because thats the same for all mines, because what happens with the battle is that it counts ALL the points for what has been mined, it's only after the battle that it then do the points for the overcargo,
So it doesn't matter what you mine or how much overcargo it ALL counts for points
robust vapor
Yeah, that's my thinking too. But other guy insisted it doesn't, which is the only reason I was running tests in the first place; because I'll be darned if I won't prove something that's easily provable without regard for the end result!
Buuut.. I wasn't expecting it to just not do anything, that caught me off guard..
earnest hornet
hahaha yeah i know right, especially when someone totally swaers that they are right, and you know they are totally wrong but won't listen 😄 hahaha
so it looks like just the removal of points isn't working properly.
because o know i have stolen plenty of Lat and i get the points, but i haven't actually double checkd the losing points part
at least not recently
robust vapor
Oh yeah, I've gotten heaps from stealing in the past, just never bothered to check lost as it was never enough to care about..
dense lantern
So do we know if scopley are going to put the faction hunt requirements back to what they were, or is it going to be another stupid grind fest this evening?
Or at least improve the rewards?

According to mods it's going to be reverted back when it resets.

They don’t need to revert the points needed, but the rewards should be drastically increased to match the time sink of the point increase.

Faction hunt is a 2hr grind as it is. adding another hour to it is just cruel regardless of whether the rewards are improved or not tbh...there's too many grindy events already especially when lb's are added to the mix
And justifying the increase by saying "because g4" is utter crap. The points cap out at lvl45 hostiles for which we receive a measly 13pts and the increase is across all lvl brackets 99% of which are nowhere near g4 capable
vast aspen
i was checking my rewards this time around and i am pretty confident that they were the same as last time.
abstract gate
They are
50% difficulty spike with zero reward increase
In fact not even difficulty really....it's a 50% time sink spike
vast aspen
to be perfectly honest. i am not entirely unhappy that my points increased from the last time. the last time was laughably easy for me. this time, while not a hardship to finish, it was more challenging.
abstract gate
3 hours tapping reds is only a challenge for me because I have a family and a life...this game shouldn't be a full time job ffs
There's no challenge in a chore and without adequate reimbursement for your efforts a chore isn't worth doing
south arrow
And those podcasts guys telling people don’t complain what a joke
vast aspen
@abstract gate good job implying that me or anyone else doesnt have a life or family outsidecthe game.
radiant galleon
@south arrow if they didn’t create so many bugs then we wouldn’t complain
abstract gate
I'm more implying you have no understanding of what the word challenge means tbh
vast aspen
@abstract gate wow really...now you are saying i dont comprehend the meaning of the word challenge. now you are being rude
abstract gate
Tapping reds for an extra hour isn't a challenge it's just another hour of m8nd numbing boredom for the same rewards
vast aspen
i think you need to go find another gamecto play then
sonic belfry
Wow, @abstract gate - I’m a relatively low-powered Ops 29. All three faction hunts took me 90 minutes TOTAL to do. That’s on top of mining on 2-3 nodes most of the day for latinum rush. If there’s anything to complain about, it’s not faction hunt. FH is relatively easy to do with fairly decent rewards
floral trail
Its more the fact that its now harder to do them but with the same rewards
I did mine without an issue, but it took me longer
abstract gate
At lvl38 it's 1630 pts PER faction 160kills each x3
floral trail
The point is that its sloow as duck to complete them
sonic belfry
So, both your complaints seem like they’ll be given in to today when the rest happens. Scopely said they’ll return FH to the levels it was at last time.
vast aspen
stop bitchin and looking for free handouts
abstract gate
40s are basically the highest most of us can hit which are just 12pts each...it's a ridiculous scaling issue
sonic belfry
A change was made, people whined and complained, scopely is reverting back to what we used to have. Why continue complaining?
vast aspen
i was killing 37's to 40's and had no issue with FH.
floral trail
True, not everyone is running around in JF or Enterprise As
vast aspen
i use a tier 7 Saladin...
sonic belfry
You got what you wanted, and please remember, This Is A Freaking Game! When it gets boring or too hard, you’re not a slave to it
vast aspen
i even kept killing reds to help my alliance to try and win the ALB
sonic belfry
Make a choice with your fingers and walk away.
vast aspen
the choice is always, whether or not to take part in Faction Hunt or any other Event. if you think its to hard for you, dont do it. simple as that.
like my dad always told me, if you cant run with the big dogs, keep your puppy ass on the porch.
sonic belfry
@abstract gate @vast aspen & @floral trail - what Ops levels are you?
vast aspen
@sonic belfry i am OPs 31 and using a T7 Saladin at 1.2M with Pike, Moreau and Chen.
solemn sequoia
its not really that its un-dooable as much as its annoying that they would increase the workload for the same rewards with zero communication or reasoning
abstract gate
38 maxed sallys with pike crew...it's not soley about the milestones it's the rewards remaining unchanged for the increased effort required
vast aspen
you get 1k ultra recruit tokens and 1k factikn credits per faction x2 days...those are pretty sweet rewards for so little effort
sonic belfry
Dy, you were complaining about a 2 hour grind turning into a 3 hour grind... you’re a 38. Wow
floral trail
I am Ops 33, my Bortas is only 900k and Sally 800k.
abstract gate
If you turned up to work and your boss said instead of 8hr days you'll now be working 12 for the same money you'd quit on the spot
vast aspen
mine went up exactly 30 ships per faction...is that really all that hard
sonic belfry
THIS IS A GAME! You’re not FORCED to do ANYTHING. Make a choice.
floral trail
Doable yes but just takes time, I am more bothered by the extra grind it takes since hitting red dots gets tiresome. Kind of why I didnt vote for faction hunt in the first place
abstract gate
Mine went up 60 ships per faction...stop trying to cloud my argument with your low lvl bs
solemn sequoia
I'm happy they were willing to run 2 events, because while faction hunt its pretty nice rewards, i doubt we will be able to break the obsession with it
sonic belfry
I’m more irritated with the fact that YOUR VOICES WERE HEARD - Scopely is reverting the FH back. STOP COMPLAINING. you got what you wanted
floral trail
Im not complaining, I am just saying that it was made more difficult without reason
I am looking forward to Fractured Empire as its something different
sonic belfry
Oiy. I’m done, there’s no reasoning here. I don’t know why I bother trying anymore.
floral trail
The game gets stale doing the same thing all the time
plucky stream
Sh game
vast aspen
@floral trail not for nothing, but the last FH we had my points were 610 per faction...that was way to easy for me. with the adjustment yesterday, i felt they were more in line with my level
tall rapids
^ And what level are you?
vast aspen
i am OPs 31
@abstract gate try working as a line cook or bartender. i am routinely scheduled for 8hr shifts and i usually end up working 12-14hrs
abstract gate
And you get paid for those extra hours...jeez it's like you're being deliberately dense
vast aspen
so your arguement about working longet in a RL situation is you comparing apples to oranges
floral trail
Im Ops 33, and need 1080, I cant remember what it was. 700 odd. Thats a increase of ~30%. Still did them but it just took longer
solemn sequoia
at 39 I went from about 106 kills per faction to approc 160 kills per faction
Was annoying
still got done, but annoying
frozen abyss
It was 720 for ops 32-33, so we'll see if it goes back to the same level or not.
abstract gate
@floral trail the increase was 50% across all lvl brackets
inner cave
@twilit imp what about the ones who have already completed it ?
vast aspen
we are talking a difference in 30...30 friggin ships...is it really that hard to comprehend
inner cave
Yeah but we should still get a bit of compensation for the extra work (hint free pike shards)
@solemn sequoia
silent cedar
Leave the faction hunt lvl alone devs its fine as is
vast aspen
whiny snowflakes getting their way again. everyone wants that participatiln trophy
floral trail
I dont need pike lol
solemn sequoia
lol
iron cairn
More credits
solemn sequoia
Consistency is all i ask
polar tendon
@floral trail you need Pike
solemn sequoia
I'm assuming that meant he already had pike
floral trail
I have him already, and cant promote him without a badge. More shards are therefore as useful as a chocolate tea pot
final stone
Where is the event channel? The contest channel? I dont see it
solemn sequoia
You dont need pike shards after your first 100
his xp ability doesnt seem to work and his captain ability never gets better
polar tendon
Unless you get all the shards, in which case you get more transporter patterns to help other officers
inner cave
No I’m 10 shards short 😂
floral trail
I did one promotion only for the xp event (when they were still running)
Isn't his xp ability broken?
inner cave
Not after his xp ability
vast aspen
Pikes xp ability is broken
floral trail
Ah ok.. Well I promoted him anyway, but there is no point using a badge on him (I dont have any anyway)
inner cave
Him (officers ability not captains) along with a couple of other officers best pve crew
vast aspen
no matter what thougg, you want all the pike shards you can get...as has previously been mentioned...transporter shards
solemn sequoia
Yea they are, but a level 30 pike vs a level 1 pike get you the same performance
as far as the PVE crew thing goes
floral trail
Yes but transporter shards are only useful with badges assuming all your purple crew is rank 2
solemn sequoia
uhh not quite
vast aspen
its mostly for his stats that you promote him
solemn sequoia
you can still get patterns without badges
unless you just mean promoting them past badge levels?
floral trail
Yes, I can buy shards for officers I already have but cant increase their stats anymore without badges
I have just been stockpiling mine in the hope Jaylah is EVENTUALLY released.
inner cave
Well what about they give us one officer badge of each class
versed ferry
Do you think they’ll do another 5 of 10 event any time soon?
inner cave
Officer badges are the next big bottleneck
floral trail
There just needs to be an easier way of getting them, like their description says they should drop from Pvp crates
or change the text to say they drop from credit cards only
Rather than plain out lies
inner cave
You get one chest for each faction at associate lvl
abstract gate
@inner cave it's the only bottleneck tbh...everything else just takes time but after initial handful of badges they are pay or gtfo
vast aspen
you get 3 badges of each when you triple lock faction rep at respected
inner cave
Then same again from admired up
floral trail
Epic Armadas drop them, but being as I havent done a single rare I am a few years off them
inner cave
That’s what I was meaning by the chest. These contain one badge of each class, same for admired lvl and up
floral trail
Yep, I have been pretty selective with mine. 3 SCI used on Spock, 1 CMD on Kirk and Tpring.
inner cave
Possibly they could add (a do able event ) for the ftp player that gives them or put a chest with 1 month cool down on it. Something along those lines
abstract gate
That is the single greatest idea Stuart. I very much hope that will happen
floral trail
If that was true @dapper drum I can imagine a mass miner killing 
low grotto
Is there coming up an armada event soon?
abstract gate
We’ve ex communicated rogues but I’m actually quite curious, maybe they ever got one
inner cave
I’ve never heard of ANYONE getting one from pvp
floral trail
Need to ask BTR on our server @inner cave lol
abstract gate
Afaik the text stating they drop in pvp is a leftover from didgits original build of the game before scopely took over
It's been there since I started in pre release
And no, nobody's had one from a pvp or pve chest
inner cave
Even pre release?
They should change the description then
abstract gate
The description isn't really the issue...availability is. Every content update brings more must have officers yet ways to promote them have remained largely stagnant since release
I have two guys on my server claiming they got em early days
Then again they’ve bullshitted before so wouldn’t be surprised if they’d say so to look cool
uneven dove
So where is the reduced effort required?
inner cave
The points in the next event will be reduced @uneven dove
abstract gate
Guy on our server did more or less nothing but sweep miners for a year straight and never saw one...pretty sure your 2 guys are yanking your chain
uneven dove
Unbelievable: the “fixed” refinery was altered in minutes. And for this we have to wait to the next event?
BOHICA
inner cave
next event starts in 15 min @uneven dove
That’s why some compensation should be in order (cough officer badges )
hollow charm
At which channel does the next event take place?
abstract gate
Haha true @abstract gate that is the most likely scenario
wanton holly
Yay. Yet another alliance event that screws the solo players.
austere python
There seems to be an issue with the donations. Is it mean that you only get 1 point per action? Seems out of whack that if you are a high level alliance, you contribute 5 mil steel and only get 1 point. That is crazy
wind ice
Not sure I understand this event, is each help 1pt or each time you help the alliance (regardless of # helps) a pt. Also each donation 1pt or number of alliance points received?
inner cave
One per help and one per donation
austere python
that is insane. The helps are fine the donation is not
teal jackal
Looks likes per help/donation. Agree that's bull.
wind ice
So helping 1 member = 1pt, helping 10 members = 1pt? Wtf?
inner cave
Why? If it was to do per amount donated the larger alliances would outstrip smaller ones very quickly
No helping 10 members = 10 ponts
verbal frost
i really wonder who thought of this event
1 point for a donation of 3 mil steel
are u kidding me
feral spoke
Nice- Casino Royale Ep
teal jackal
I would love the casino except my RNG sucks
split sequoia
event is even more stupid coz you can only donate once per tap/click
carmine lily
My rng sux so much. Casino rewards are bogus. Let us choose!
split sequoia
lol
carmine lily
Why would you donate? Just smash envoys
split sequoia
was doing the rep event
carmine lily
Send all those doors to the crusher and take in the alliance helps
Doors

Stupid autocorrect doesn’t like ferengi

Donating = increased alliance lvl = more alliance members = more players to send help
@carmine lily

lvl 24 alliance here
that doesnt work the same stuart
maybe if the alliance is small
pulsar canopy
Hy all from romania
verbal frost
for us until lvl29 its 17 helps
carmine lily
@inner cave it takes a ton of donations and there just arent enough resources in the game. Far more economical to smash ships
inner cave
I know but alliance needs donations as well
agile grove
Im confused, 1 alliance contribution = 1 event pt. Is that right?
inner cave
Lvl 23 alliance
carmine lily
Level 27 alliance contributions are very expensive and add up very slowly
@agile grove 1 contribution yes, not 1 resources contributed. Each chunk of resources contributed counts as 1
formal stag
ah
inner cave
Lvl 23 allince so i know the pain
agile grove
Ive done close to 100k dil contributions and it doesn’t count in the event 🙄
carmine lily
9.5m par 1.8m trit for me
inner cave
What lvl alliance @carmine lily
carmine lily
@agile grove it’s lag it’ll show up eventually
agile grove
Why is mine different?
nova valley
diff level alliances have differen requirements for donations.
agile grove
Hmm 🤔
formal stag
and not based on ap
inner cave
Yes your alliance is lower lvl 20 ish I would say
formal stag
and for some reason, sometimes i contribute, but dont get the event point. i guess maybe its lag
agile grove
I have close to 60mil parsteel i wish I could give that away
feral spoke
this is a nice event to help the lower level alliances get some perks
agile grove
My alliance is lvl21
inner cave
Lvl 22 or 23 let’s you donate para again
agile grove
Lvl 22 or 23 let’s you donate para again
@inner cave Cheers. Good to know
teal jackal
Yea. Great event for lower level alliances. Wish I formed my own right before and started from lvl 1. 🤣
inner cave
Can’t remember if it was 22 or 23 when we could donate para, think it was 23
teal jackal
I hate not being able to donate Dil. Have almost a billion from raiding.
agile grove
I could get that of ur hands 😁

Scopely either needs to move the stupid instant repair button or put a confirmation. So annoying spending a ton of lat on an instant repair when buying the speedup is a fraction of the cost
merry fulcrum
@teal jackal we have a solo level 20 who is right now below rank 15, he started a alliance and got it to level 20
carmine lily
There is a galactic shortage of dilithium. All you folks who spent the last 24 hours mining latinum should have been mining dilithium instead. We pirates need something to steal, everyone is broke.
teal jackal
Lol. Well played. 🤣
merry fulcrum
He'll probably fall behind due to him being solo and only level 20,but it's pretty impressive
Rewards are worthwhile though
teal jackal
@carmine lily it's too bad you aren't on my server. The pirating is real.
pliant skiff
Any update on getting the Borg epic rewards again as stated 2 weeks ago?
teal jackal
@tall rapids that kind of defeats the point of an instant repair though.
But I feel your pain. Have lots thousands of lat that way.
@pliant skiff
pearl dove
@twilit imp This event is fail based on contribution. 2.65 million pars is worth the same as donating 600 in a low level alliance. This makes no sense
carmine lily
@teal jackal where are they getting it from? Hasn’t been a dilithium event in ages, no one ever mines the stuff. Our server is completely broke, the level 50s are raiding for pennies they’re so desperate
delicate estuary
@teal jackal I just dropped below 300M for the first time in months. I do not envy your stash lol
teal jackal
We have a lot of spenders. It's a good server for pirates. ☠️
delicate estuary
Though I did immediately feel a sense of regret for not getting in on a guy with 100m yesterday
carmine lily
We do too, but they tend to use it all right away, g4 ships eat resources
pearl dove
@teal jackal looting becomes rather pointless at high level. You can only level with amex Visa and MasterCard at a certain point
100 million is not even a collector
carmine lily
I’ve got 50m and I’m one of the richest on the server. If my shield drops for more than a minute I get hit.
teal jackal
lol. I usually don't even spend a relocation token unless I can pull 100 mil myself.
pearl dove
I only would do that for 100mil dil
I have 3 billion in tokens trit and 4 billion in pars
Looting pointless
teal jackal
I can clear 500 million an hour if I'm solo raiding. So not totally pointless.
pearl dove
You level and that melts instant
agile jolt
@scopely this new alliance contribution event is broken. My contribution points aren’t showing up
pearl dove
What is highest raided on your server
merry fulcrum
👀
teal jackal
Just an asterisk, zero of my score is from "voluntary" looting. (draining people who quit or draining your friends during certain events)

Im in a poor server 🤣

With this covid thing everyone is online and shielded too

Virtually unplayable bwithout constantly swiping cc based on repair costs
I only like contested raids. If there is no fight it is not fun
vast aspen
this event is another "health" check on alliances. the healthier alliances will shine through. no different than CoW.
pearl dove
No someone made a new alliance and is massively winning with 5 people already
I could drop make an alliance and win this event solo. It is a bad event
agile grove
Dont think that would work
