Then either your server is very lazy or mine is hyper competitive.

carmine lily
Top 3 often differ by less than 10k points and all 3 always have at least 2 doubled nodes for the entire event. Most of the top 10 have 2-3 dvor by now.
unreal osprey
unlike that player I steal and mine at the same time and since I usually have double nodes during events and he does not help me to maintain the difference in points between us despite having less level
carmine lily
Yeah nothing to steal on mine, players watch their miners like hawks. Only time to steal is really late at night if someone forgets to swap their dvor for another ship
unreal osprey
although yours is already exaggerated ... I think that in my bracket there is nobody with 2 dvor
carmine lily
There you go.
unreal osprey
your server has to be older if people have more than 2 dvor
carmine lily
Yeah we are one of the earliest servers.
Doesn’t have to be old tho, people just buy the ship during the Monday event
unreal osprey
i dont see another dvor offer during the mondays XD
abstract gate
I gotta say the packs to advance the alliance milestone event contain little to no incentive for spenders to actually purchase them. There's nothing in there that says "hey this'll give you a leg up AND help your alliance"
carmine lily
It’s for sale every week🤷🏼♂️
floral trail
I have one Dvor and I could buy another with my event tokens and I am FTP. I don't really see the point though, as I would rather save my borg points for 10of10. He is basically like having a second dvor and only using one ship slot
floral trail
I figure I will get a second dvor in 6 months time collecting the 30 day loyalty boxes
carmine lily
People are hypercompetitive, they’ll buy whatever it takes to win events...which seems pointless considering buying stuff gives you a huge bonus to begin with.
floral trail
Best I have done in lat mondays is 15th, that was with some prefarming
I tried not to spend my 200k dilithuim too quickly
rewards are pretty garbage!!

i win 1 time and second 1 time

I lament the lack of skill in gaming these days. Ptw has ruined gaming, it’s just for rich people now.

A question, has anyone accidentally seen a 100$ offer that gave you 3500 points for the alliance?
abstract gate
Ugh my bracket is only top 10 who get rewards...I pretty much never rank except last week I squeezed into 10th due to half my competition being at war
floral trail
I just don't expect to win anything, I like the cooperative play and raiding high level bases with my alliance help
unreal osprey
because it appeared for a few minutes and then it was gone (not that I'm going to buy it ...)
floral trail
My packs all have an extra '0' in them..
exotic plover
Dvor is not for sale every Monday. U can only get second devor during ferengi update or these special updates where the event store has them or 10 bps a month from loyalty pack
unreal osprey
hahahaha
abstract gate
Yeah it was up...3.6k points for ame and a smattering of junk at 38...no real incentive to get it over a regular ultra pack tbh...doubt any spenders in my alliance will go for it, there's just no meat on that bone
exotic plover
I personally just got second dvor bc of the limit 60 bps from event store. Some smart players got a second dvor during the dark space update event
unreal osprey
Hopefully this borg arc would have the same offer of 20$ to receive extra prizes for each milestone
floral trail
I suppose it makes doing double refines easier, but really I cant see the point having two.
Its bad enough having to loose a drydock for mining lat
abstract gate
With no guarantee of hitting all milestones a pack offering extra rewards per milestone would be a dumb purchase
@unreal osprey Yes...like 20mins ago. It's gone now. 😶
floral trail
At least the Borg premium packs in the last arc were retroactive, you could buy them at the end if you hit all the solo events. This arc seems more dysfunctional
I like the PvP event but really could do without the JF pow powing everyone, especially as I dont have one, nor have anyway of getting one. I was just sending in virgin tallas with vemet for an easy 2 points each time.
abstract gate
Too early to call it a fail yet but so far it seems needlessly complicated and terminally dull...

Not exactly fun

Seeing as phases 2 and 3 are borgified armadas I can only expect the dullness to intensify

I have an idea. How about Scopely sets up a "Sandbox" environment exactly like the live. ALL the Devs have accounts in the Sandbox along with some testers (non Scopely employees who want to help test) of varying levels. Scopely can then Test these events PRIOR to going live and get feedback from actual users as to what bugs there may be. Then (stay with me here) they can FIX THE BUGS before rolling it out.
Anyone with me on this?

No no... That requires work. When they test, they test in production.

@twilit imp Love the idea of Borg cube armadas. It’s a great addition to the game but the rewards for the effort suck. I can go to level 32 borg probes and take 120k+ nanoprobes each run.
Make the cubes harder to win. Have the directives just like regular ones and make the rewards Borg related but just as good as an epic armada.
They could give tokens that could be redeemed in the same style of event store. Ship bps, officers and mats etc.
Good event though, a big step in the right direction. Nice one to the team for that 👌

steady narwhal
fc me. i converted the first gift for borg tcells. don't have enough wouldn't have had enough for directives
frozen abyss
Solo milestone of 15k points in 24 hours means that I would have to complete 150 uncommon armadas or run 30 rare armadas or run 10 epic armadas. All of these options require somebody in the alliance to pay for the armada directives to make it happen, and it doesn't seem like it's worth it for the players when the rewards are 20 inert nanoprobes per person.
candid furnace
Joke joke joke joke money money money....
tranquil inlet
It's the biggest cash grab of all time
wanton cloud
@last hamlet you just need to have players complete the alliance help event, then everyone can do an armada each
frozen abyss
yes, 1 armada each at the cost of 95 tech per person
85 for the directive and 10 for the cell, and then you just stay there and fight multiple armadas back-to-back.
5-minute countdowns result in much faster armada turnover but make it difficult unless you have the team there in advance.
steady narwhal
I don't even see where tech salvage or directives can be purchased
wanton cloud
not difficult, impossible, this is an alliance event, you need to co-ordinate @frozen abyss
frozen abyss
tech salvage can be earned in the alliance help event

And free gift everyday
ashen wharf
we should have been getting those since day 1
so we could prepare..
but nah
lets make em pay
frozen abyss
We're definitely coordinating as an alliance. I'm stating that if you have a 100% free alliance where nobody buys any packs, you are only going to be able to get up to 1 armada per person. That's 76 in my alliance, meaning 7600 points if everybody started one and I was greedy enough to jump into all of them.
rocky hill
frozen abyss
They're broken, but they're correct...
apparently, Borg Probes have more nanoprobes on them than Borg Cubes
All the borg abandoned the cubes and went out flying in the probes.
That's why the cubes are all sitting stationary.
abstract gate
What is the best crew against borg armadas? 6/8/9 ...or 8/9/7 ?
And what power do we need....armada/240?
Seems the best is starting with bigger armadas
frozen abyss
Borg officers' captain's maneuvers don't work against Borg cubes. They only work against Borg probes. You will want to use a standard armada crew that you would use on any other armada.
6 is the only one who does
frozen abyss
In order to test out crews, you will need to spend a transwarp cell.

thought some have tested it, if i see the screenshots
ashen wharf
yes but the side systems aare free

@steady narwhal you can get more salvage by finishing esprit de Corp for the day. They added it to the rewards. That will give you enough to get 1 uncommon directive
ashen wharf
to warp too
granite zenith
the point is to get the 5 armadas per person to get your alliance points for the day
the milestones and the event store tokens ARE the rewards... not the cube drops
if you get to do more than 5 per person.. great ... more to spend in the event store

One question: it‘s not possible to get the first reward at the solo milestone event only with the Borg tech salvage token, or did I miss something?

So, the solo event is basically impossible to complete all tiers without people buying directives?
chilly venture
why would you want borg crew if not for the double fire ability of his captain manoeuver ?

If your alliance manages well everyone could theoritically get to the second milestone without paying
radiant galleon
So how in the f*uck are smaller alliances/players suppose to do the borg armadas when they are 38mil....
What’s the point of the events when most can’t even do them....
@shut inlet exactly. Even players level 17-22 participate in the borg events and can’t do anything with borg parts & cant even complete the missions. No point.
dense lantern
You need to do 150 UC armada to do the solo event. Its 15k top reward tier at 100 per UC armada
granite zenith
but you only need 500 to get the full milestone daily points... 5 armadas... everything above that is extra
chilly venture
only first two milestones give borg war effort points for the alliance, others are P2W territory

But 5 armadas are much, if everyone only can start one per day

Nice job Scopely you totoally did something great again! When do you learn?

Event is easy and 100% f2p, only problem is, its worthless, even the epic and rare has no value

They did balance the rewards a bit in favor of not completing all milestones, like you get half of the mega cube directives at 128k points
last hamlet
Yeah but the balance is not measeured againts player count in the alliance
We smaller teams cannot anyway to do the milestones
barely get 2 milestone in 7 days
tribal elbow
but you get more points today than you did yesterday
so cant tell yell
but if you need 70 ppl to reach 320k points that would mean you need 28 for 128k

At lest with the other events everyone was able to complete them... unlike this lot....

And even if you do...38 probes for an unc

Obviously they are only for the event score, which seems to be balanced around getting 500 points for free and for more you or some in the alliance has to buy packs

Still waiting for a response, still only get 30 points for killing a level 30 Hostile. Put a ticket in at start of event and they do nothing. If the lower leaves paid as much as the higher ones, they would do something like they on second day of event.
Anyone 24 lower just don’t count. We have been screwed from day 1 of this event. They ask for our thoughts on a survey and completely ignore it.
If COVID-19 was affecting their ability to run the game correctly, they shouldn’t charge us.

So why do the Protari Borg armadas look different from the other Borg armadas of the same level?
vast wren
"We are living in extraordinary times, and we wanted to allow players who are short on resources/time to be able to fully contribute to their alliance..."
But to get to that 500 point goal that they refer to, you must spend money. They only give you the ability for one borg armade for free.
woven belfry
I'm guessing the idea is that as long as your alliance coordinates, everyone can probably do them. May require a couple people to spend or have a lot of people that can host 5-person ones though. Because for everyone 1 host, 3-5 people in alliance get a kill
vast wren
Well do the math, 500 point = 5 armadas. That means EVERYONE who runs armada must be lvl 30 and acc lvl 30. And then, you must exactly coordinate so everyone gets in to just 5. No alliance is going to have that. So, you have to spend to get more directives.
I just really don't like the way that is worded in the news item. It's using the pandemic to get good feelings, but then not delivering. Super low class.
hazy trench
Did anyone expect anything other than pay2win for armadas? Every armada event has been this way. Just a shame to taint the borg with it. Can you imagine what they thought when they saw the event survey results and armadas was dead last, knowing this was coming.....
waxen vault
Why are my level 30 hostiles only racking up 30 points? Supposed to be 340?!?
inner cave
Any good alliance can be coordinated. Talk to members, make teams, remember you can ensure no one can jump in now. One or 2 people go for the alliance cells that way everyone in the alliance get to goto the space. You only need one cell to get their the lvl 25’s are fairly doable
vast wren
GOing to the space isn't the problem stuart. It's starting the armadas. That's the choke point which cannot reach 500 pts, unless everyone in the alliance is lvl 30+ and has an acc 30+.
serene forum
@waxen vault what event is that?
woven belfry
I thought it was going to be an issue, but then there were tons of starts, I easily got to 500 points. I guess one or two people bought the pack to get more directives and that was enough to help rest of alliance.
vast wren
I don't even care if it's pay to win. I understand how games work and how money needs to be made. BUT, don't put that note in the news about helping out in extraordinary times. It's a cheap way to use the pandemic.

gilded oxide
And then scop is surprised that more and more players leave the game. This is becoming more and more a second job. Only the big ones win or those who invest a lot of money
@abstract gate all right😉😘

Honestly, crap event.
The only good thing is that the armadas require only 5 minutes of staring at a ship in one place, not 15. The Armadas themselves are pretty much something that should not have been 'coming soon' for so long. They are a chore.
Granted, they did some work on it, but that's lipstick on a pig to me.
The entire event has been about spending, which is really no surprise in p2p or in STFC. No one should be surprised by that.
But it's not as engaging as much as grinding, and as others have pointed out, this event is silly with it - as are the shard contests for Assimilated Kras.
teal vine
I joined the game with the last Borg arc .. bought the 20 bucks pack grinded a lot and was very happy with the rewards .. this Time .. it’s just .. meh
lucid juniper
It’s pants that’s what it is. Nearly hit the delete button a few times lately and now teetering on the edge. Get to 30 level and the game grinds to a halt. Big players dominate everything. It’s really no fun anymore. Just bought the prime repair pack but that only took an hour off repair time. Pathetic. Mump over
Another level 31 left yesterday. I can see more going too.
hardy parcel
Pay to play events. Greedy auction event. Leaderboard for everything.
I'm really disappointed with the "epic" showdown so far.
More like "epic fail".
These events have nothing to do with players enjoying the game. It's just a blatant price gouge
They aren't even trying any more
floral trail
Borgmadas should give salvage, no point in doing them beyond the initial 500 pts for the alliance and the rewards are not worth spending 1c on given I can farm 50k interts in a single ship repair hitting probes. I really dont get why anyone would spend money on this excriment.
thick ermine
Granted, they did some work on it, but that's lipstick on a pig to me.
@abstract gate
This game is basically like taking a pig and putting a Star Trek shirt on it. Imagine it as a stand alone game without the Star Trek property for a minute. Just generic ships without the “Enterprise” or “Bortas” names attached to them. Would anyone play this? The game at it’s core is terrible. It’s the players that keep me here but events like this are making it harder and harder to give this game a pass. The only thing “Epic” about these Borg armadas are how big of a letdown they were

And yet we have armada for borg, with no rewards, stupid requirement ( participate to 150 uncommon everyday? Really?), pain to organise with players who happened to have life and are not all speaking English,.....
A game is supposed to be fun and easy to understand. You can invest more time if you want ok, but it shouldn't supposed to be a second full time job 😣

First I've seen where the one and only single player event requires me to pay to finish all the milestones. Bad timing Scopay.
Before Covid-19 hit the US, I was spending $100/mo. at least. Spending any more on STFC is at a permanent end because of this Borgmada event, and doing this when the majority of your players are financially crippled?
silent salmon
Did the dev forget to put tech salvage in the borg cubes we kill? The rewards are puny and there's no other ways to get more tech salvage for conversion into borg directives. We are just sitting in the system waiting for daily drop of salvage?
cosmic sage
so the milestones in the solo armada event aren't really worth it after the first two. If you really want them buy the war funds pack from the store and use any other armadas you can start to help your alliance members get their first two tiers.
If you're trying for the leaderboards that's a different story.
silent salmon
Based on the rewards, I'm not about to drop USD105 to buy borg armada directives.
rough frost
Even with a pack... Would need one EACH day to meet those 15 k points 🙄
silent salmon
So my teammate summised that dev forgot to put tech salvage in borg cubes. That's the only way this event will make sense! 🙄
rough frost
Premium content is one thing.... Those Premium token during borg arc were ok, only a bonus for paying but you still had to do the event to benefit from them. The free to play could reach the 10 milestones too
But that whole event is pay to participate or watch 🙈 nothing Premium, it s pay to win
silent salmon
For such a long arc and otherwise potentially exciting event, the inability to get meaningful no. of salvage is causing a lot of player unhappiness.
Premium pack just allow rich players to get to the end faster and score higher prestige as always.
Also if the rewards are attractive, it will encourage players like me to spend. But we r getting 250 nanos in total after killing a cube. I get more by hitting borg drones for crying out loud.
cosmic sage
The rewards are so bad, they only give you points to a spend event with a junk (or so I hear) officer and an avatar.
rough frost
Exactly. Premium should be a bonus ( time or reward) NOT the only way to finish an event.
With a bit of work, EVERY event should be doable for any lambda players.
If you can't finish one daily event - like the one today - without paying, then there a problem
cosmic sage
oops my bad the frame and the avatar
silent salmon
Yes, I do buy premium packs coz the rewards r worth it. But hitting borg cube as armada target is a fantastic idea and maybe if we allow more leaders to hit bigger cubes will allow more fun. But no salvage = no directive = not fun.
How to bring this up to dev?
cosmic sage
It's probably not even the dev's fault it's probably management or whoever that makes them implement it that way
thick ermine
I did 3 Epic borg armadas, like 7-10 rares and countless UC’s only to realize I had nothing to show for it at the end of the day 🤣
silent salmon
Maybe, unless they really forgot to key in 100 tech salvage on top of 250 nano for lvl25 borg cube.
rough frost
1- they need to lower the requirement..... 15k is a joke. 15 epic armadas??? Bad joke
2- they need to grant points for launching an uncommon armadas AND participating.
3- they need to lower armada directive price so that we can do more than one / day
4- destroying an armada need to give incentive rewards 🙄
Did i miss something?
thick ermine
Dev: but sir, there’s no rewards..
Scopely Exec: hitting borg cubes is reward enough for these nerds. They’ll be forking over the cash!
silent salmon
Only 1 person out of 72 spent USD105 on the pack.
We are usually the no. 2 alliance on our server and many of us spend. Not this time though.
thick ermine
At this point, even if I won I would be embarrassed to rock the war frame. It’s a symbol of how big of a sucker you or your team mates are
cosmic sage
lol
rough frost
To reach 15k you need to start one uc and participate in 149 others ( impossible).
Considering 5 min armada + say 1 min préparation, and if you don't have to repair your ships at all that s only 15 h of armada non stop
Someone say ridiculous?

@analog yarrow one pack is not even enough to reach 15 k 🙄

@cosmic sage how 🤷♀️ one pack is 6 epic so 6000 points to start + 3000 by destroying them.
Plus a few rare and some uc... How reach 15k?
cosmic sage
ahh n/m it's still too early for maths lol
rough frost
When one 100€ pack is not even enough to finish one simple daily event, there something really wrong
The pack should be for leaderboard crazies or extra stuff. Every daily event just be doable with a bit of work for everyone 😑
cosmic sage
Well since it takes more then one person to do the armada typically I think they thought several people would buy the packs and take turns starting them.
but even then having to spend that much just to finish a daily event is pretty silly
rough frost
Would need 4, players taking the pack, and playing only together, they could reach the 15k.
6k from starting + 3k for the 1rst
3k x 3 for participating to the 3 others
So 450 €€ for 4 person to reach first milestone one day 🙄 wonderful event

record profits don't lie!
@flat fog you can finish first 2 milestones if enough people coordinate from getting free salvage tech in daily and esprit
steady narwhal
what are you guys saying? yes you can particapate for free. and you damn well better for at least your alliance.
@dapper drum exactly
stark marsh
Not always. If everyone in your alliance has max tier 1 vidar, that ain't enough to score
steady narwhal
instead of figuring out how to fail. perhaps you should figure out how to succed
stark marsh
Three solutions, 1) spend £200 which could go to something truly worthwhile, or 2) go mental with vidar upgrades which will only be useful for another 2 weeks, or 3) dont waste time on a limited time event and put efforts in to the longer game. We went for 3.
noble oar
this is even worse than armadas anyway
dapper drum
you need to complete these events if you want any chance to die on a megacube
where is your klingon honor
there is no glory and honor higher
stovokor awaits you
steady narwhal
well, glad you're not in our alliance. you would have been put out to pasture like other drama queens
steady narwhal
I had a member came in all negative lastnight. took im aside expained things then he came back and apoligized to the alliance for being such a downer
modern estuary
this event is kinda boring everyone waiting around for someone with a directive lol
stark marsh
Took him aside? Your alliance play in same place?
steady narwhal
I had a pm discussion with him
stark marsh
Oh, ok. That makes more sense
modern estuary
@dapper drum Gre'thor is where klingons with no honor go after they die. Stovokor is only for klingons who dies honorably
stark marsh
@steady narwhal are you from USA?
obtuse otter
Will STFC go to Stovokor? Hmm
modern estuary
@obtuse otter no it has no honor
steady narwhal
here is a great place to air your grievances
https://discord.gg/kbKwgQ
don't get me wrong. stfc needs to hear about it. but there is a right way and a wrong way.
yeah I'm USA

scopely want to go to the devine vault in ferengi heaven

scopely own the divine vault
and nothing more honorable than dying over and over again against a massive mega cube

that might be a good point. save your btcs

wil you supply blood wine for the battle?
zenith sigil
No event today if you aren't doing Borg armadas?
steady narwhal
none on our server
stark marsh
@steady narwhal I thought so. You guys take your games serious.
steady narwhal
I take no drama seriously. we in our alliance are from all over
zenith sigil
They usually run something for the other people to do during these types of events. Maybe it's an oversight
spiral forge
ok, so what is the best : a 700k vidar or a 2 mill intrepid? Borg crew at level 5 or a good morale crew? Dont seems to matter a lot on the UC borg armada but might change a lot on rare and epic ones
dapper drum
rare can be beat with 2 @ 800k and 3 more at 300k or higher
have weakest bring academy gaila as a third bridge officer
the crits are nasty
spiral forge
yes, ty. But does 2 2mil intrepid will do the same on a rare (i wont bet my borg dir on it 😂 )
dapper drum
no use vidar
you need the damage multiplier
these armadas are medium high attack crap defense and insane health
spiral forge
ok, i ll stick on vidar so
still wondering if borg officer at level 5 are better than morale crew at level 20. Dont think they are
dense wolf
100% spend to play events suck
spiral forge
in my alliance, 4/5 players paid for sure (including me 😰 ), but it allows other player to compete without payin
abstract gate
The alb is all kinds of messed up compared to others, you can clearly see on ours that the majority of the whales see no value in spending. The usual top 4 alliances are spread over the top 10 (size still counts lol).
unreal osprey
Even the whales know that this event is not worth it, it is good to know
abstract gate
There's 3 or 4 in my alliance spending to help boost us poors but overall participation and by extension spending seems to be way down on my server compared to other recent events
unreal osprey
@abstract gate the problem is that in my alliance we are all f2p or spend a little very occasionally
I think not even 10 players have Vidars
carmine lily
It’s a really bad event. Little to no motivation to do it.
sly dagger
Destroying Borg Armada don't give point for the event front lines
winged tulip
I suspect vidar - my intrepid crits for a few hundred k, my vidar crits for 14m against borgmadas
flat fog
Only 4 alliance scored in my server lol
unreal osprey
@flat fog 18 in my server
winged tulip
We've just instructed everyone to do 5 armadas for alliance rewards only - just about get enough directives for most to complete 5, although it's a pain with lots of people panicking that htey won't get in..
abstract gate
@unreal osprey this event is definitely not geared towards f2p at all, I'm lucky enough to be in a top alliance with spenders but the majority of each server aren't going to get much/any mileage from this
flat fog
Their is no reason to spend money on it either, the reward are terrible
winged tulip
I'd say it's fairly aimed at F2P as the alliance rewards are obtainable mostly without spending £ - i just can't see the point in continuing past the 2nd tier of rewards, free or not!
abstract gate
So far there's only 10 alliances on the alb...10th has 1600 points...
spiral forge
i like the concept of team effort here. But true, rewards suck
restive inlet
Here only 5 allys participate 🧐
unreal osprey
by the way, are the borg officers supposed to go out in the ultra rescuit after finishing this event?
winged tulip
tbh it's pretty awful handling trying to start 4 armadas at once, making sure everyone gets spots, that no one armada has too many crap ships in it, that no one completes more than 5.. if i wanted to herd cats i'd go back to work!
severe bridge
The rewards are awful for borg armadas. After these events are done what would be then incentive to do borg armadas? Seems like a lot of wasted content.
unreal osprey
meager galleon
@unreal osprey you spreading my link! Means I can’t be accusing of spamming it ty 😅
unreal osprey
hahahaha @meager galleon no problem, you are absolutely right in your comment on these borgmadas, impossible not to spread it out a bit
severe bridge
I skimmed it but ya, It’s boring and rewards suck.
steady narwhal
what will borg war funds be used for? will there be something sneaking up on us, or can we spend what we get and not worrie about saving them till the end of the event?
waxen vault
Getting really bored with the constant stream of upgrade events. Scopely sux.
amber gull
Im glad everyone is agreeing in the rewards being uneventful, why inert probes and not more tech salvage? Money grabbing it points to
waxen vault
How long does it normally take to get a reply back from reporting a problem?
winged tulip
Tech salvage, refined probes, normal armada credits or directives... Plenty of interesting options
amber gull
How long does it normally take to get a reply back from reporting a problem?
@waxen vault it depends, no replies on the weekend but my support tickets have been answered 2-3days, sometimes 1 it's random from convid-19 and queues
waxen vault
Thanks @amber gull
inner loom
Just set your goal at the third tier and slightly change perspective. One pack easily gets your through the 3 day cycle. You win double the two-tier f2p rewards for solo events. It’s not many borg war funds vs outright buying them.
Most of the value is expressed in team building and the win/rewards being distributed across armada participants (via solo milestone and LB events) and the larger alliance (via alliance monthly milestone event and borg armada ALB).
sage lava
Scopley releases its most greedy event ever during a pandemic when people are loosing jobs and having their wages cut down. That shows what kind of a company they are.
small lichen
I honestly cant see where the money people in the company get their ideas from. The build up to the final Borg event was good rewards, not what we all hoped for, none the less good rewards... if I developed this business model and what has happened = effort for player reward🙈🙈🙈, I would expect to be sacked. However, if you want sales up, reward the players, please.
The final borg is coming, hmmm, if the current way of the Borg armada is set, be prepared for disappointment. Revenue is what the game thrives on, we get it and fully understand this... By virtue on what you have done has killed revenue I would imagine, no proof of course. Easy fix, reward the players for their effort and we will financially input to the game. 😔😔😔😔
fossil saddle
Haha, on our Server the Borg Area is a Dead Valley, since hours only one or maybe two per hour are starting an Armada.
Well done, an Event nearly no one participates, well done.
graceful shard
These borg armadas make no sense there is no reason to kill more than 5 and even that is questionable. Am I missing something?
abstract gate

Borg event is getting worse to me😞

Nope. You miss nothing.

the 4th arch is been the worst event
Borg Amanda is spencive to do with no reward at all

Perhaps scopy was just aiming at the FOMO a bit... As the relative large amount of borg25 armada systems kinda seems to me scopy was aniticipating a somewhat huge run on them; which probly may have happened if they had thrown in a €20 pack from the start 🤷🏽♂️
Borg armadas rewards are pretty lousy imo, similar like the event rewards on them... Only the war efforts rewards are attractive, which are the only reason why I’m doing those borg armadas; for the rest i ain’t having any interest in continuing them as they are now...😏
proud solar
Well my Alliance don't have enough actives & they questioning why continue...
brisk yacht
it seems other people have mostly already said all the failures of borg armadas so I wont repeat them. one thing I hope is that devs will listen and free us of all this chaos which happens everynight on daily events reset. also please return normal ship XP event instead of this SMS event.
graceful shard
So with just over 11 days left in the event where are most alliances sitting at for points?
proud solar
Managed to get some of my mob into bog space to start borg armadas & his happened & 3 of my 5 warped out to klingonspace,... 🤦🏻Wasting their coils... 🤦🏻 I should laugh 🤦🏻
robust vapor
They didn't look first? 😅
river kayak
Garbage rewards on borg armadas and event overall 👎 epic armada give out 800-1200 inert lol thanks for coming out
robust vapor
You know that might be the point though.. after you get the 500 points must of us will not care anymore, but those who want to chase the leaderboard rewards still can do them for that.
Otherwise we'd be complaining about how hard they are to get directives for and that you have to buy them to finish the content..
proud solar
Multi lingual alliance & to be fair their English way better than my Thai, Vietnamese, Cantonese, mandarin, malay(pick a dialect) or even Russian, tavaditch... But he left🖖😇

After we get the points we stop.. couse its pointless!

WOW when will the Borg event start? Attacking a lv25 38meg borg cube and you splits a 130 something nano probes between 4 players!!! Lv 25 tactical drones give out better rewards. For all the hype and write up this is a Giant🥚!
carmine lily
yup everyone stops at 500 except for those working on the leaderboard...and since it's a GLOBAL leaderboard only the 40+ whales are even bothering.
abstract gate
Everyone thinks this is bad....we haven't even gotten to the m€ga cub€ yet
Hope you're all saving those free transwarps your spenders are gifting you...
amber gull
but avatar frames, everyone wants those
round prism
Must be honest I have enjoyed the last 3 arcs and the new game play style. This arc tho does just break alot of that. All the packs are expensive, nothing for the moderate spender, I am happy to drop 20 here and there but 99.99 is a bit much at the moment. Was the prem pack not working that new model, yes might have been hard to do for this event but then could have been done with tokens, then unlocked the chests when amardas came, mega cube but nope. Just dissatisfied after such a good change over the last 3 months. Hope the player feedback from here is taken and relayed. All the best me
abstract gate
Response has been overwhelmingly negative to this arc, problem is even if they are listening and taking notes I doubt anything will be done for this event. The best we can hope for is that they take the feedback from this and apply it to whatever they have planned next...or alternatively take all this feedback and shove it sideways up their....transmission terminated
round prism
I must be honest we have some spenders in my alliance and little ones too so a good 19.99 wouldn't have gone a miss and would have thought the uptake might be grater too, if it's worth it.
abstract gate
The 20€ premium rewards from arcs 1-3 sold like hotcakes, I'm not seeing close to the numbers for this arc (based off of alliance gifts). Problem is unless there's greater than an 80% decline in sales scopely will count the 100€ packs as a success.
1 arc 4 pack is equal to 5 1-3 premium packs as far as scopely is concerned. Boil it down to pure numbers and they are probably close to or over the numbers from any individual arc that preceded this.
dapper drum
those avatars though are worth 10's of thousands
round prism
Lol but yes based on math your most likely right @abstract gate
fossil lagoon
So... I was all geared up ready to compete in an event.... when our content creator who has a contractual obligation through an NDA and insider knowledge and free in game stuff from scopely decides to compete...
Congratulations scopely - you’ve just destroyed the game event by sponsoring a player to win - why should I or anyone else bother for a final push for the event now?
This is disgraceful, he has hardly played the game - 9% mined rss compared to myself - the rest including enterprise augur etc is gifted to him, yet he is permitted to compete hard for the event.
I feel like I’ve already wasted resources on a rigged competition that I otherwise would not have spent if I’d known that @silent tide would be blowing his free rss on.
Whichever way you look at it - your content creators are contractors to your company and you’re allowing this one to ruin the game for others.
Here’s an event history... if your content creators need to play with hard fought for in game items - they should have a second account on a staff server.
abstract gate
Are the other 3 above you also content creators with allegedly free and infinite resources?
fossil lagoon
No they are genuine players and I don’t mind about those, I would continue to compete with them
But What’s the point pushing against scopely themselves.
<@&509691205798592532> perhaps I should have put this in #💬-events-feedback ?
shrewd totem
So what is the difference between a whale and CC?
Whales pass you all the time in leaderboards but when a CC passes you you are upset?
fossil lagoon
Own money vs freebies
fossil lagoon
But competing in events with those freebies?
shrewd totem
So what?
abstract gate
Content creators occasionally receive free stuff in order to properly review new content (rev got a hijacked ship day 1 for example) some have advance knowledge of upcoming content but afaik they do not receive regular/significant amounts of rss/materials. The insider knowledge could be considered an unfair advantage but these spend lb's have been a thing for some time now and we all know to save for them if we want to compete.
I disagree. All CCs should be fired and banned! 🤣
shrewd totem
They can play however they want as long as it is within ToS

Can we please get a faction hunt event to pair with yawn-madas?

I see your position, ridiculous really
Agree to disagree and point is I will pay less on the game now
And yes I mean pay - I’m one of those bigger spenders
abstract gate
Good thing we don't work for Scopely... We would be upset.. 🤣
shrewd totem
🤷♂️ most of the gaming companies give free stuff to their youtubers and other people who promotes stuff
Scopely isnt the first company doing it..
fossil lagoon
Kills the game
abstract gate
But you are correct mate, pay to win is how it works. No changing that
shrewd totem
No it doesnt
hardy parcel
Well I know some cc try not to compete in leaderboard events cos the free stuff gives them an unfair advantage.
Clearly not all though.
fossil lagoon
Because I’m a genuine player, yes I pay to win too but what’s the point in paying
Shot in your own foot
hardy parcel
And @fossil lagoon is totally correct. Someone receiving free resources from scopely shouldn't compete in events like this.
shrewd totem
@hardy parcel yes but they arent have to do that. Nowon stays away from leaderboards because of these kinda people for example and he cant play a game he likes however he wants? Hmm that isnt correct 🤷♂️
hardy parcel
@shrewd totem so have 2 accounts. Either way it isn't fair
shrewd totem
Then how is it fair that a whale can pass you in leaderboards as long as he spends $$?
abstract gate
Where else are they going to spend what they worked for? Personally I don't consider being a youtuber a job but they do
hardy parcel
@shrewd totem they are using their own cash rather than free stuff from the developer.
How can you not see that is different?
shrewd totem
That is Scopely's problem 🤷♂️
hardy parcel
Yes, which is why deadpool raised a valid complaint
shrewd totem
Not yours.They get free stuff and participate in events.Whales pay and participate in events.At the end result isnt different
Both of them passes you in lbs🤷♂️
abstract gate
They are doing a job for scopely instead of being payed in cash that they buy packs with they get rss...
hardy parcel
@shrewd totem one passes fairly one doesnt.
shrewd totem
And yes I wouldnt say FREE
They spend ton of time to do youtube and other stuff and gets these kinda stuff as reward
abstract gate
Guys. The complaint is valid.
But it has been made a million times by now. Nothing can and will be done about it.
So there's no point in this discussion. Please stop and get back to subject.
🖖
shrewd totem
NOOOOO!
abstract gate
@abstract gate ok. Soooo these events suck right?
shrewd totem
You are always ruining the fun!
abstract gate
Absolutely
so the events are rigged
Basically yes, pay to win @abstract gate but that's not news
no no, pay to win is fair as everybody chooses themself how much they spend on to win the event
hardy parcel
It's not an event its an auction 🤣
shrewd totem
🤣

Synq just asks scopely for xx amount of resources, gets it, and then spends it
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
It's a pointless to discuss that

And it is up to Scopely to give it or not

This arc is a waste of energy. This place was way more fun. Until @abstract gate ruined it. 🤣🤣

hybrid ibex
@hardy parcel yes but they arent have to do that. Nowon stays away from leaderboards because of these kinda people for example and he cant play a game he likes however he wants? Hmm that isnt correct 🤷♂️
@shrewd totem Is it really appropriate for a scopely moderator to refer to players with a genuine concern as "these type of people".
shrewd totem
There is something wrong with that?🧐
hybrid ibex
Using your official capacity as a moderator to be disparaging of a player or group of players with a genuine complaint is completely inappropriate.
In game help regularly directs players to this discord for support and to have moderators treat them this way is really not on.

Contact Panic if you think I did something wrong 🤷♂️

3.5* alliance helps knocked a fair bit off
@shrewd totem I would have it a month earlier, but I screwed up and went for 34 ops. Lvl 32 ships disappeared from rare armada packs
I was a moderate spender up until armadas rolled out
Yeah, many ppl gave up at that time. On the other hand others that are a bit of gambling addicts started spending a lot more
Also helps I completely skipped lvl32 rares
I just wanted Brel, it's a Bird of Prey. I love it!
Maxed saladin does all the heavy lifting at 38
Mine doesn't... Can't kill lvl 35 swarms 🤣🤣🤣
Don't have Franklin
Maxed Franklin only kills 7-10 depending on your lvl, research, crew etc...32s are still far more efficient for events (except time-wise)
abstract gate
1/3 of the way towards enterprise and about 3/4 towards a d4 atm
I will go for Ent, as soon as I get my bloody shipyard to 34... Need 1.4k unc crystal

I don't worry about bps... They will come in time

Yeah. My refinery hates me

14?! That's double what I'm getting at 38 lol
Need shipyard to unlock lvl 34 scrapyard

@abstract gate I was doing triple batch for a month, now I'm back to double. Much more viable
And far less those stinking rares
Got my augur a while back 😅😅 doing pretty good so far (enterprise is a level 41 and the brel is level 38 as well like me)
@shrewd totem how the hell do you have so much resources
I always do doubles...triple respected so my dailys cover that cost plus a little overstock for bonus refining

@fossil lagoon doesn’t seem they care if a event is rigged. Just read all of it now 😂 should be compensated really.

If you read all of it you would have moved on

@abstract gate try using Decius instead of Nero
shrewd totem
You need burning for ship ability!

@abstract gate yup, that's why I went augur first. Most of my server is fed or Klingon plus the jf is also an explorer so it's a good counter to most players.
No I don't 🤣

😂
abstract gate
I told you to try... 🤣
ship ability + burning > decius
I have a dude on my server that says Decius works for him
On Augur
I don't have it so I have no idea what is the good combo
burning ability on ship augur is cumulative damage..
