I think they make things complicated so the don’t have to give any reward. Like mission with donation. I have no why we have those. Has anyone complete the last two mission?

“So yeah... your value meal only comes with half as many fries now.” 🤣
buoyant cloud
Is there an event that grants points for spending rare uranium on Stella? There isn't right? Just creating, tiering and scrapping?
abstract gate
Not bait and switch huh? Pay 20 bucks for enough points to pass the f2p milestone and get the 40 keys...realise you can't finish the f2p mission because you need time locked warp cells...now you have to pay another 20 bucks for elite pass and the p2w mission keys too.
Call ot whatever you want but that's some shady 💩
Couple all of that with a complete lack of upfront information and you got a very good advert for eve echoes
granite zenith
@buoyant cloud not yet, but thanks for giving them an idea
buoyant cloud
No problem, maybe you could podcast about it 🤣
granite zenith
id rather not
buoyant cloud
had been saving my rare since gathering it took all these months
raw zenith
not a bait and switch. Just a paid event.
thorny palm
The problem I have with this is that it is 1 day of events off. If it was days away or that completion event didn't exist, no one would care. But now I'm going to be 1 or 2hrs too late on that extra loot.
Don't get me wrong, the battle pass $20 is a deal for those who do the daily events. But needing to give another $20 to check off that completed event, is a hard pill to swallow.
ebon galleon
One thing I learned from the borg arcs: if scopely adds warp token locked systems in an arc, stock up on tokens because of missions. They did it before and will do it again
raw zenith
its like what 15k loot credits? not a huge amount
meager galleon
It’s all been fed back, hopefully it never happens again but... knowing their desire to make money who knows
buoyant cloud
it's 24000
I bought it back when I thought my 100k was a lot, lol
Can't really farm higher levels until you have ops 34-35 battleship research, which I don't, 'cause I'm ops 29

@J.Clark - NΩVÅ#5965 as if that were even remotely relevant. Its shady behaviour. When someone robs you, can they stand up in court and say “yeah but I only took €20.”
raw zenith
they didnt rob you.
winter leaf
Nope, loving the busyness of this arc but I do wish it was Star Trek content.
vapid jolt
they didnt rob you.
@J.Clark - NΩVÅ#5965 I have it from support that the event is completable without further purchases if you “engage with the battle pass early on”. I’ve completed every event and that’s just not true. If taking my money based on false promises isn’t robbery, how would you define it?
raw zenith
I am pretty sure they misunderstood the question. Which happens. The rewards from milestones can be attained doing all events, not the mission event.
I have seen this mistake before in their wording.
winter leaf
@raw zenith Yuppers. Measuring expectations is key.
dapper drum
but it said in the battlepass pack in store that you could get everything now give me my entitled everything!
pale sail
Support told me that it was intended to be unable to complete the missions without spending
dapper drum
but my entitlement!
buoyant cloud
I don't think it's entitlement to expect to be able to reach the same milestone as before without having to pony up € 20
granite zenith
@dapper drum don't confuse entitlement with expectation due to previous battlepasses...
entitlement would be expecting something unearned due to nothing
expectation is based on previous experiences
as i said, I have NO issue with some event being Pay to Play.
I do take issue with an event that was previously obtainable for free, suddenly becoming pay to play.
and as i compared it above... It would be like Faction Hunt suddenly can only be completed with a purchase
If they want to make a change, that is in their power to do so, however an explination would be appreciated
as was with the Khan shards and the battlepass points events
lucid plover
Is there going to be any official response from Scopeley for the mess up with the mission event ?
Its fairly obvious theyve upset a large ammount of there customer base by changing the mechanics of how the arcs work without informing anyone in advance
This silent treatment from them isnt helping and is **** poor customer service
rough frost
@granite zenith we could finish the last few arc event "missions" f2p, yeah but... Was it intented?
I didn't see the swarm bug this time. The past time, the extra points from swarms was maybe what push us to deblock the last mission for the event sooner than expected?
Just a theory tho
raw zenith
You were able to complete the event in the Borg arc because the Swarm event was glitched and gave out bonus points. Thereby allowing you to get it free, when it was designed to be pay to attain. With Outlaw Arc they fixed the Swarm event, so no more bonus points.
granite zenith
intended or not... it was established
Same argument that was made for returning faction lock
raw zenith
@uncut bridge #509679626763632642 no discussing boycotts

Alrighty....we have a lot of people upset at the hidden paywall. Online petition talk now.
meager galleon
Don’t know about hidden. It’s been about a week of people raising the point it’s not going to be completable
lucid plover
@raw zenith in the previous 2 arcs of outlaw you have been able to complete the mission event f2p so this is a change in mechanics mid arc
meager galleon
Without paying for extra points
buoyant cloud
obscured, but not invisible
raw zenith
@lucid plover You were able to complete the event in the Borg arc because the Swarm event was glitched and gave out bonus points. Thereby allowing you to get it free, when it was designed to be pay to attain. With Outlaw Arc they fixed the Swarm event, so no more bonus points.
so in actuality, you got something for free in the Borg Arcs you were not intended to be able to get free.
lucid plover
yes but arc 1 and arc2 of outlaw both had a mission event which was completable f2p im not talking about the borg event when it was glitched
buoyant cloud
I think your estimates are off, if a person feels unheard and disrespected, it doesn't matter whether they're paying. But you'll come to find whether that's the case for you with the rest of us lol
After all, you're going to be paying with your time
raw zenith
well enjoy this discussion. I am moving onto something else.
pale cobalt
I may be wrong but the way understand it is,
Those events were always meant to be pay to complete as an extra bonus for those who brought the points packs but because of the global situation they were lowered so F2P could complete them, as well as the prosperity gifts we were getting, the events have now been reverted back and we no longer get the prosperity gifts
It should have been made clear that they were changing them back I agree but as per the T&C's Scopely can change anything without notification
granite zenith
@median slate i would disagree about not changing
however sometimes it FEELS like 2 steps forward, 3 steps back
buoyant cloud
ah nice "connection lost" and the retry button doesn't work
brb restarting the game again
wish they'd put whales' money into fixing these bugs

Often they make some progress only to shoot themselves in the foot in their next attempts at something
buoyant cloud
Yeah, there are some positive changes, usually quickly followed by something negative

I can only speak from observation (no insider info) that I think with the anger/frustration shown they may make it right in some way. At very least I expect them to not repeat this

@narrow crypt
That's not how their event system is set up. They cannot change an event already in flight. This has been shown multiple times in how the event system works.
basically the folks that paid to get it, got a less value points pack.
make no mistake, this is a pay to win game. If you shuck out money, you get perks and things done faster. F2P in this sytem is going to always be challenging.

Reminds me of all of those early story quests where you have to go to a system to find someone, and then they say 'hey I impulsed over to a nearby planet' and it's like 6 jumps away

Extending the time would mean ftp also could complete 1 more milestone
That's not what they want

to all players who could participate in the event,
You could participate without buying the elite tier of the battlepass, as long as you were the appropriate ops level (maybe 29? still unsure there)

Why should FTP players be equal to paying players?
drowsy viper
What were requirements for “going out with a bang”?
visual trench
You needed the two last missions completed. And they cost 40 and 80 mission keys to start. The keys for the 80 mission is only available in the elite battlepass.

I didn’t meant to complete the event, I meant to have it

We all had it. It was just not possible to complete it
Unless you bought both the elite battlepass and extra pass points.

why is event store locked for lvl 25 people to build a northstar or jellyfish. I am essentially locked out forever from getting those ships and pvp event always asks for jelly.

Has anyone else noticed that for the "Hostile Hunt!" event you do not get points for tiering up the Stella? But you do for the Franklin... So is Scopely saying that the Franklin is a Combat Ship but the Stella is not? I find that hilarious..... Frankie more of a combat ship than Sailor Moon.

Think back to the Borg events Vi'Dar wasn't added to hostile hunt until after all Borg arcs had completed so I expect it will be the same for the Stella

Can someone confirm my logic. If I buy all the BP's for stella from the event store to make a 2nd Stella.... then I upgrade 1 and run dailies/scrap the other. That way I have a stella always ready for armadas and such without the huge upgrade costs and times?

How about actual events instead of "Please swipe credit card".

Don’t have to pay. Just had to keep up with research requirements since arc 1
heavy cradle
and "Research the Enemy" has "scrap the stella" and "build the stella" as two of the primary ways to gain points.
I scrapped yesterday, did some data mining to make up the final points. Built today and tiered it back up. 2 events done with 1 stella scrap cycle!
on the "coming soon" refinery. What's up with the "ship parts" refinery?

@heavy cradle you can refine ship parts from ops 39 onwards. The ship parts refinery tab has been there a long while.

Hey J it's showing that I have 105 of 100 bps but when I tap on reclaim stella it's asking for a hull scan. Where do I find that at?
Never mind, I went back n2 the game & ships was highlighted so I just built my 2nd stella. Is this one stronger than the 1st one, & how many times do u destroy your stella?
robust vapor
It doesn't get stronger by scrapping, you get resources that you can use to do research that will make it stronger. And you'll probably be scrapping and rebuilding it indefinitely 😬 you need a lot of particles to max research, and then once you're done you can redeem them for uncommons.

What are people complaining about. The gauntlet is for the complete server 1-50. You get through stage 1, then u get through stage 2, the top 50 on the server get through stage 3. Why so much crying being grouped with ops 40+ it’s a server event not a solo banded LB.

Why is the moaning all about spend spend spend. Its about strongest on server and they are the spenders. I’m an ops36 and have saved directives, also making sure to have a good Stella so that I can join the whale eclipse armadas.

I don't think people would have quite as much of an issue if directives weren't so restricted in acquisition
But that the shiny packs for just $49.99 and $99.99 give them in spades

So disappointed in scopely with this event. There's absolutely no reason to put level 50 players in the same group as level 20 players. You should have just had a pay entry if you only wanted whales in it, it's beyond insulting in any other way.
dapper drum
they are tailoring young new whales
atleast 1 of 20 have a high chance of becoming a debt enslaved spender
nova schooner
@carmine lily i would normally agree with that statement. However, this is an elimination style event that has taken place over several weeks. They did say from the beginning that this was the format. I am not a whale by any means. I’m just going to tread water to stay inthe top 50–but feel that the last “pvp style” solo leaderboard may push me out. But we will see. I like that they were honest from the get go, this was no surprise to me or ppl on my server (34).

Guntlet beeing said to be lv. 18 plus in station news. How is a lv. 18 supposed to participate in round 3?
@dull cypress youre not supposed to and youre silly to even think that would be remotely fair or justified in allowing a lowbie to be competitive with someone who put in far more work in the game
If you are then going to say brackets, again you are then asking for the same level of rewards for a lazy player vs a hard working player
If rewards were scaled, then youd be here complaining about pay to win and giving different levels of rewards to the brackets respecttive winners is unfair
In other words, you just want free crap for as little effort as possible

To reach top 50? That's pure money, no combination of work and time can compete with the bottomless wallets at that lvl of play.

orchid halo
Let me put it another way - 1st place ALB nets 16k and SLB 45k, for 61k or so total
If you pay for the outlaw points, you get double that for $99, guaranteed
Who knows what gauntlet iii will be but probably more of the same
In other words, all u need to do is spend $99 to get much better rewards than the first place
So its not really about “being unable to compete”
Its a combination of f2p being upset and not wanting to spend any money at all, and others just getting their feelings hurt
There is a valid criticism for this event - that is, its fing boring and lame
We were promised a pvp event and we got armadas with blah rewards

Wahwahwah im a lazy, cheap player and want to compete against people who actually spent effort to grow (ie i am a socialist who wants freebies)

If you're equating effort to spending money then you should jog right on.

Not sure why all my $20 and $50 Armada packs have been removed from my store selection, but Scopely has lost a consumer right here. Not going to continue dropping $100 just to get meager progression. If Scopely would check, they are going to lose money from this guy, right here.

@orchid halo no i don't want free crap just would not have waisted my time finishing other round which was a grind had i know befor. If they had said lv. 26+ i would have been fine with it. Its just they said lv 18+. Thats what annoyes me.

@bold girder A dollar spent in game = a dollar unspent elsewhere
So yeah, spending money in the game actually requires sacrifices and effort
Unfortunately for people like you, you equate effort with exclusively “time spent” becuase that is convenient for you...i laugh at the notion that spending hours sitting in front of a screen mindlessly clicking buttons like a monkey equals effort, and i laugh at the subjective notion that somehow that type of “sacrifice” has more value than other forms of sacrifices made
Thats your world view and i would respect it if your kind did not so condescendingly dismiss the vastly differing world views of others unlike you
At the end of the day you give no respect so you get none...sums up 99% of the world’s problems tbh

@orchid halo I refuse to assign such noble teems ssuch as sacrifice and effort to any game, anywhere or any time. For example, a football player, playing football, is not brave. Spending money for a game is not sacrifice, and spending endless days in a game is not effort. While I enjoy this game, mostly, it is, a zero effort, zero skill, zero sacrifice game.

Apparently someone didnt like my comment about how BS this #3 gauntlet is, and deleted it.
Im lvl 21, I cannot start Eclipse Armadas and can only participate.
So I am eliminated.
Also the bracket I am in is ridiculous.

@indigo perch i am fine with that as well. The problem arises when people start making arguments about “pay to win” because such a statement in fact belies the underlying premise that “time spent” is in fact a “worthier” endeavor than “financial sacrifices made”
Hence, i am against any form of discourse that is based on a supposed dichotomy between “effort” vs “money” - its all false premises based on personal bias
If we were to place a monetary value on time, people who spend time in game make contributions, same as the person who spends money in game
Thinking about this metaphysically of course...but the root of the matter at hand (curremt evemt) has nothing to do with cost/benefit, as one $99 pack more than doubles the rewards of both top place in alb and slb so it cannot be a whale event...the only thing at stake is pridr and ego
The real issue is; this event is boring
carmine lily
@nova schooner the fact that it's an elimination style event isn't the real problem, it's HOW they've chose to run it. there are so many whales on my server that it's literally impossible for anyone else to even get a place on any global leaderboard let alone reach the reward ranks. The event should have been tiered, pure and simple. Leaderboard events should ALWAYS be tiered and those tiers should be same level only. period. This game is so badly unbalanced that nothing else can even remotely be considered a competition.
unborn kite
anyone have a ss of the events for the rest of this arc?
carmine lily
@unborn kite look at pins.
drowsy viper
Completed Apex armada with a bit of effort and I’ll complete these 3 days armadas very easily. 1 fake epic a day, 1 rare a day, and few uncommons a day
8k should be enough !
I know many people who will “drop” Rogue after the arc ends, because they can’t afford so much hours of farming! At least Borg pays off in faction credits and it’s faster !
orchid halo
@carmine lily again, why do you care if you cant compete against the whales? The rewards are paltry, plan and simple. And even among the tiers, there will be soenders vs f2p so fundamentally the same problem you are complaining about now would still exist....f2p vs dolphins
So again, what you really want is for Scopely to modify the existing competitive matrix to make it easier for you
If you really cared about the game, you would have a problem with the event itself, not arbitrarily suggesting changes to the reward tiering by levels
Damage done against eclipse hostiles or pvp kills in eclipse space, no tiers, would have been a fair and better event
And if you think whales should be isolated into their own bracket, sorry but thats socialism
Whales didnt spend money to go play amongst themselves, they actually want to play with everyone else and dominate
And this is because there is no end game content, no “epic” dungeons to raid, no epic boss battles, no epic pvp...

Need clarification- Top 50 individual players in current armada event get token and only those top 50 will compete in next weekends pvp finals. Is that correct? @keen ledge
tulip folio
Im sorry, where are my Khan shards?
keen ledge
@edgy dagger That is my understanding, yes.
The in game announcement says "those who make it the final round of the gauntlet will compete in PvP combat". And the current SLB only gives the gauntlet token to top 50.
@tulip folio Swarm events with battlepass points do not have Khan.
tulip folio
yes, but that hasnt stopped you from putting double lat rush in the past when there were events up, and I dont recall an announcement about this arc not having normal swarm sunday
plucky ermine
good idea. just start swarm sunday in parallel to current swarm event - I wouldn't mind at all :)=)

different rewards, so quite justified

*Finally gets level 28 which is apparently what you have to reach to get Kahn shards in swarm.

@keen ledge so instead of keeping a mechanic that literally 90% of the player base loves, whales and guppies, they try to slowly sneak KHAN out every now and then... slowly phase out and hope people don't notice
tulip folio
Why do we have lat rush every monday then

@keen ledge they announced for Arc 2... not 3

That (paragraph) above I can't answer. As you are aware, I am not a Scopely employee. 🤷♀️

I did as the post Jess made above was either information that's not been made public, or a guess spoken as fact
Regarding swarm sunday that have arc points not having khan shards. That was never relayed to the player base for arc 3.

There was a mix-up on what the consensus was on Swarm events. At planning, they opted for Battlepass points because of the current arc. Realizing what had occurred just now and the feedback that was provided in the past, they rushed and added the Khan reward events as well. Honest mistake guys.

Everyone, you might want to keep an eye on your uncommon exchange loot total in Factions:Rogue. This should increase when you win an uncommon exchange armada with the rewards you get. However, I noticed today that my total hasn’t increased above 482 in over 3 days. I opened a ticket with Scopely. I haven’t heard back from them yet but mysteriously my loot total is starting to increase on it’s own. Just FYI
lapis harbor
When we gonna see some more borg armadas

Please Scopley keep hitting the recycle event button. I love Armada events they make so much sense to keep running them back to back to BACK! I havent had enough PLEASE do it AGAIN! Said the entire server network NEVER!

Double swarm events. Fun
dapper drum
@abstract gate you are a moron, thats credits
woven belfry
@abstract gate one note is that unlike some other types of special loot, this one is in your ship cargo. So right when you win the armada you don't actually automatically have it added in your faction store inventory. But once your ship goes home, then you'll have it added.
dapper drum
you get those from exchanging heist loot and security codes
@woven belfry he was pointing out his rogue credits
and calling it heist loot
thinking the 2 are the same
this is scopely there are dozens of currencies of a single type
woven belfry
But he or she said 482 which is the amount of their heist loot
dapper drum
that is not heist loot
that is credits
heist loot shows up in the box screens where you can exchange it for rep and credits or uncommon/rare uranium
no wonder CS never responds to normal players they are busy explaining crap to the idiots playing
is a tomato an apple because its red and round?
woven belfry
It's weird because my store does show credits (not heist loot) on the main page
But in their SS it looks like heist look icon in that spot
dapper drum
I see it had to zoom in I'm using a large monitor at work
his is rare heist loot that is showing
still not same as uncommon heist loot
woven belfry
Right. I do know the difference between them and that's what I was looking at. So I was guessing they haven't returned to base after winning to drop off loot. But yeah if that is rare and not UC that would explain it not going up at all
stark marsh
Stupid idea to have no one eliminated from last week's gauntlet and the running one that needed armdas to get through..... you are Just causing arguments between alliance members as 49 people into 5 top alliances is a big amount to scale down and you are asking people in alliance to help there other team mates to progress beyond them..... very silly

Anyone know what will happen if 50 players from same alliance go through to final?
dapper drum
your alliance has no reason to help you progress if it doesn't benefit them
go buy a pack and win like a true pro

Well. Its supposed to be pvp. So thats a good question

One volunteer quit alliance and trading kill. The usual 🤷

yeah can't wait for the PvP portion of the gauntlet
the low levels crying they have to fight whales
🍿

In a system we cant see in if its that system
rough frost
50 player with no bracket, who thing one second anyone but the biggest whale will win 🤔
And to have pvp, there need to be people bringing their ship to ( be killed) fight. No volunteer, no pvp 🤷
Like the pvp event at the start of the game... One hour after it start, 98% of all servers were all ships home and under bubble 😂
dapper drum
need an open PvP event
all ships all systems and remove level banding
make it a LB and the player level determines the points you get
rough frost
And 98% of the server all ship home again 🤷
dapper drum
then they won't have a chance to win 😈
rough frost
We all know pvp event will end up in who can kill the more miners before the others gave up and do something else till the end. Pvp in the game, outside protecting / defending raid is 💩

Would be cool if its cross server.....

what can we buy with the gauntlet's ?
random tide
And there's a system that says its locked. I bet pvp will have to be there
Unless this is something idk about. Maybe this is what the top 50 will have to use to fight it out for the wins. And if its limited to 50 entering a system. It could be cross server. But thats real high hopes on my end
long dust
Shame we wont be able to see in there unless you have the token, unless they change it

@stark marsh its a p2w event, but was i dont understand what the heck i am doing with OPS22 in the Top 50 Ranking Event? When it start i change to OPS23. Its a Stella-Eclipse Event, yes i buy since 1 week every day the 34 uc directives but its no event for such low players like me vs ops27-40 Player...
dense lantern
Any reason i have 2 swarm sunday heroic events, but one hasn't counted any of the points i got from killing swarm yesterday?
woven belfry
The BP event thar had already started was meant to have Khan shards and didn't, so they added a second event with the normal rewards. It started a bit after though so if you had done some work on the first event right away that wouldn't be counted in the new one.
dense lantern
So i have to kill twice as many for the same rewards
neat owl
That's why you don't rush n finish the events😂
dense lantern
Don't really have a lot of choice over when i can do events, i don't spend my entire life on this game like some.
neat owl
Yeah I do swarm in bursts... kill 15 32s and work while repairing, then repeat again in an hour or so
Is there a limit to how many armads can be organised against the same target armada? I've never seen more than 4 alliances launching armada against the same target
woven belfry
Yes there's a limit of 4. I discovered that today when trying to start an epic exchange armada just for the event points and had to keep waiting for an opening, since it was taken by 4 people doing the same all the time lol.
carmine lily
@orchid halo Wrong. Due to the extreme imbalance scopely has built into each successive level there's no real competition if vastly different levels are in the same bracket, it's more a steamrolling parade every single time leaving large numbers of players feeling like they can never accomplish anything.
-Having equally matched players compete means there's a fair chance for anyone involved to win and the competition is much more exciting because players are doing more than just watching the event go by and being bored.
-Damage done to eclipse hostiles was the first part of the gauntlet and because the points gained were equal for every player regardless of ops level or ship power it was a really tight competition and a lot of fun for everyone.
-Whales being isolated into their own bracket isn't socialism, it's very much capitalism. The rich get richer. In what way are the whales not already isolated into their own bracket? on virtually every server they've grouped themselves into one alliance that steamrolls their way to victory in every single event. They have an entire region of the game (dark space) That no one else is even capable of reaching where they enjoy virtual immunity from the rest of the players.
-I agree that whales want to dominate and that's part of the problem. it's so very easy for them to do so in this game that it gets boring for them very quickly because there's no competition.
Games such as this don't have "endgame content" they just pile on new, shiny, more powerful content until they either run out of ideas, or players lose interest and stop paying enough to keep the game going.
floral trail
The brackets on our server to go through to the end gauntlet are rather small, yet near dead servers can get through really easily. Event leaderboards really aren't worth bothering with unless your a whale.
Coupled with the fact that armadas are as dull as hell, and cause annomosity in the alliance I am respectfully bowing out... its not like the rewards have been that great thus far anyway,
orchid halo
@carmine lily you are so wrong
Whales in real life arent isolated in pockets
They own companies that you are at, own the buildings you rent, make the cars you buy
They interact with you in every single facet of your life
Everytying you literally touch or do is made by ane controlled by whales
What you are proposing is soicalism. Separate whales into their own little world and cut off all ties with the “non whales”
There is competition in this game. What YOU want is the competition to be based on “who is the most unemployed”
“Who is the biggest loser with no friends or family and can devote hours to the game each day”
Sorry but thats a garbage metrix
Other games, such as shooters or dota-type games or RTS are based on skill
MMOs have always been either “most unemployed” or “most money”
And you can say whatever you want, but i for one am glad Scopely is rewarding “‘most money”
pale cobalt
Rightly or wrongly these types of games have always and will always reward those who spend money because without them, these types of games simply wouldn't exist but on the flip side of that a lot of game makers forget without F2P players these type of games wouldn't last very long because those who spend money would get bored a lot quicker without F2P to feed off, and they wouldn't put in as much as money as they do, both P2P and F2P are equally important to keep a game alive and arguing over who is superior is down right ridiculous
orchid halo
Exactly. The game rewards both the people who spend money and people who devote hours each day
The problem is, certain events reward p2w slightly more than f2p, and then people get up in arms and make condescending value judgments based on moralistic concepts like “deserve” or “earn”
Dude, you realize people like me dont do dailies since we dont have the time to scan for mining nodes or to kill 65 swarms everyday?
F2p get plenty of opps to take advantage of their free time that a lot of us p2w dont even bother with
Like i never do borg swarms and so im missing out everyday, im not grinding uncomonn armadas either
So we would all be better off if we just accepted that certain parts of the game will reward whales more (especially marquis events) and for the ordinary daily grind the f2p have an advantage

@woven belfry no shit, I know it gets added when the ship goes home. Did you not read my original post, it’s been going on for more than 3 days. Don’t you think during that time my ship had been home already, multiple times. 🤦🏻♂️
mild bluff
They are event shop for heist loot after?
abstract gate
@abstract gate you are a moron, thats credits
@dapper drum No s.h.i.t you dumba$$ numbnut. I know they’re credits. That’s the whole point, I’m not being awarded the credits. Go away. 🤦🏻♂️
They are event shop for heist loot after?
@mild bluff I KNOW!!!!!! I’m not being awarded the credit to my account. That’s the whole point. I can’t buy anything in the event shop because my total heist loot isn’t increasing even though I’m being awarded the credit after the armada wins. And before someone asks again, yes my ship has already returned to base. This has been going on over 3 days!
I see it had to zoom in I'm using a large monitor at work
@dapper drum it’s IS NOT RARE HEIST LOOT!!! It’s uncommon heist loot. I have taken another picture where it shows it is uncommon. I sent Scopely the exact same thing I posted here. And guess what, they figured out I was indeed not getting credited for the loot I won and have now credited my account from 482 to 1970. So I guess they were a whole lot smarter than you @dapper drum at understanding what I was posting. Who’s the moron now jacka$$!
Right. I do know the difference between them and that's what I was looking at. So I was guessing they haven't returned to base after winning to drop off loot. But yeah if that is rare and not UC that would explain it not going up at all

💯 💯 💯 to run double events with identical requirements. That was the real intention behind “arc specific events” in the first place, to have an extra source of rewards if you did that event during a story arc. It was never to replace events

I was hunting hundreds of lvl 36 klingon battleships with sally just using gorkon,kerla and woteln

I got Pike very early in the game through lucky pull but didn't know that PMC existed... So used Pike Mccoy Uhura on Vahklas and Kumari... but then in mid Kumari era realised PMC were so good, so ever since then, stuck to PMC in all the other ships

Anyone know if another “research the enemy” is planned soon?

Heist preparation is on the arc calendar for 25th-26th so should be starting in about 6hrs

Is Heist Preparation the one where you can get points for scrapping / rebuilding the Stella?

Does anyone know why the Military Supremacy event doesn't drop for all players?
hoary tide
I believe it depends on factions you’re positive with and if you’ve built the ships you’re able to for those factions at your level. Rev deuce put out a video some time back about it i think.
For example, if you’re positive with roms and level 28, but haven’t built the Centurion, you’ll get the event.
foggy forge
Ok, I've locked all 3 factions at respected but haven't built any epic ships yet. But I was in the same situation last time it dropped and I didn't get the event
I'm at ops 36

those who had gauntlet, what was the event last weekend?

@foggy forge there is something about the query that changed our theory after ops 34. ops 33 and down it works flawlessly. but there's something extra for 34 and up. haven't figured it out

@nova valley Ok thx for the info. Weird though - one of my teammates is also lvl36 and he got the event the last 2 time it ran

Anyone else irritated/ feeling cheated that augment ultra chest is active but nothing is giving Zeta tokens?
@elfin sequoia Not really, those are trash anyways. Do I really want a augment ship at ops 35? No thanks!! Officer shards are more usefull but then again I need 11k Indy Credits to promote Khan so I think Im good for those too...

@foggy forge I only got Supremacy once. I think I was level 26. I’m level 32. Haven’t seen that event in a long time.

Question ops 37, 38 ,39 whilst doing faction hunt amd my rewards have never changed whilst my ops have over tbe past few moths still get 24 unc and same officer xp and faction credits... why is this??? When pretty much every other event I do ops level increases as does rewards...
gilded nebula
Also why are there so many events, 3 faction hunt, mining event and killing eclipse all at once
While also trying to do dailies
At lvl 35 the grind is real, it’s one thing to have engagement from players but the amount of grinding needed is also making people quit as it takes far too much time.
silver solstice
First its too much mining, then it's too much killing, then players are bored, then players are overwhelmed. It doesn't matter what Scopely does people will always whine. I can't believe I am defending them. P.S. No one is forcing anyone to complete every event that is out there for a player to do at any given time.
pale cobalt
I planned ahead we were told what events were coming and when, I sent my Stella to scrap yard this morning it will finish scrapping in the morning that's 350k pts, rebuild it that's another 350k pts then all I need to do is mine 30k data which i can do in 5mins, Rogue Rescue event I kill lvl 31 traders event done in less than 10mins I don't see what the problem is, just keep an eye on the events calendar and plan for upcoming events

So... The "the unexpected arrival" thing for Rogue Arc 3....
Is it the first wave of new recruits fromma different timeline/show?
Or is it the BLOG post about them?
Or, something different?
I ask because I am sitting on a boatload of of recruit credits, and I want to spend them, but it would be just like Scopely to incentivize all of us to spend them (2x rogue chance) (Leaderboards), then the "unexpected arrival" comes and it's a fresh batch of characters and we are tapped out.
It's just as much like Scopely to consider their post "an unexpected arrival".
Or none of the above.
Thoughts?
granite zenith
or was it Mudd 2.0?
crisp fable
@granite zenith If you are replying to me, Mudd 2.0 is a maybe
BUT this is how it reads:
"When all is said and done, an unexpected arrival will change the fate of the universe forever..."
All is not yet 'said and done' and there was little fanfare like ooh Here is Your 'FATE CHANGING OF THE UNIVERSE':. Mudd 2.0
UNIIVERSE CHANGED FOREVER........!!!

@pure osprey Accomplice rep level has epic uranium chests, you're going to need a lot of epic loot

How to we get that only epic we see is a 45 epuc with 500 mil str

There are level 33 epics, they rarely appear in Delta after shooting away unc and rares

They might appear in Gamma (the l32 system), but I've never seen it there so not sure about that

Any tips for unlocking rare uranium? I'm scoundrel rep. Not appearing in the faction store
robust vapor
@sonic mist level up would be my guess. Plutonium in augment has both reputation and ops level requirements, I would assume that uranium is similar.
sonic mist
@robust vapor I'm ops 32. Guys lower level have unlocked it at scoundrel.
robust vapor
@sonic mist then I would suggest contacting customer support.
meager galleon
Doesn’t sound right, have you opened a ticket ?
sonic mist

So is there a mystery requirement or are support being useless again, that's the question..
sonic mist
Exactly. I've compared my completed Outlaw research and have finished more than some players that have unlocked it.

@meager galleon you able to work with CS at all? That sounds like a canned response..
He's run away 😶
I guess just open another ticket, explain where you're at, hopefully you'll get a more useful reply..

im pretty sure i've seen an event with that name before in game
versed heath
Well, it's a duplicate of the one we're finishing. So, seems accurate.

this is the 4th round of heist prep, so no we didn't miss anything, maybe your thinking of a differnet event, anyway i'm so glad my stella scrap is ready to collect 10mins before the event starts 😁

@nova valley good on you for calling out Scopely last podcast
Lotsa people here complaining about brackets and crap while missing the point, which you nailed on the head - the gauntlet itself was garbage, bracketed or not
Seriously a massive turnoff, and incredibly boring
And im shocked they still went ahead with today’s armada reset
We are a top 3 alliance on our server always competing for the win, but today we cant even muster 5 people to run rare eclipse armadas people are so fed up with this nonsense in our team
My message to Scopely (from someone who is #6 power on my server): wake up and stop with these garbage Armada events
They are trash. I will spend money left and right for quality content. But expecting people like me to pay for garbage content, you are dreaming. Gauntlet is boring. Uninteresting. Recycled trash from Borg.
inner cave
I agree @orchid halo an armada event so soon after another one so poor
I had enough for one rare, and 2 uc
orchid halo
Only reason I bought Armada packs was to help my team complete their events. Im OK with doing that maybe once a month, but expecting me to do that every week, for a boring f’ing event with crap rewards, is just insultint
And you should know youve gone too far when you start insulting your “whales” with your money grubbing
Scopely, you literally made me open about 100 epic armadas in Penumbra during Outlaws...do you realize how ridiculous that is?
When my ranking and my Alliance’s ranking depends 100% on how quickly i can spam the armada button in Penumbra to take one of the 4 spots, that the other whales are competing to open?
Do you realize how utterly ridiculous this scenario is? Whales buying packs just to spam Penumbra epic?
Sorry for the rant but this was just the dumbest event i have ever heard of...worse than that Borg mega cube armada nonsense, at least that thing looked cool
As a footnote, just as a sign of how fed-up we are with this event, as of now there are only 2 players in the 40+ bracket in my server who have even scored a single point in the current Armada slb (myself included)
When this all started, outlaw space was teeming with teams, alliances running 4-5 armadas at a time...now its empty
winter leaf
We are out of directives & areas we can win with epic D. Kinda boring & overwhelming.
silent horizon
This entire arc was stupid and boring. The officers are unimpressive. The stella is a useless ship, which I feel 0 motivation to upgrade. On the other hand,The borg officers are great and the vidar is actually useful, since for a reasonable amount of borg drone killing, you get faction credits. But everything about the current arc is lame and unwanted. The moment when the arc is finished, I will never use my stella again, too boring.
pale cobalt
I'm assuming and hope that the G3 in the rogue faction store will change to G4 when I get to needing G4 😂
I long way off needing G4 at the moment 😂 but that would be a good source of G4 when it is needed

I wish it was Star Trek related.

Not enough exchange epic arms. C'mon.
onyx sleet
I just started building the Augur but haven't finished it obviously.
Will I still get the military supremacy event as long as I don't finish the Augur?
heavy cradle
not that I like the armada events, but as a (mostly) F2P I knew this event sequence was coming all month and I have more than enough directives to still complete it. I've been buying every directive I could in the Rogue faction shop every day. With 1 day left I can start 6 more uncommon, and 9 more rare armadas which (counts on fingers and toes) is well more than enough to complete the event.
For all the faults that Scopely actually does, these armada events haven't been the worst. They gave us plenty of warning to save up directives this time, and a way to gather them (unlike the borg events).
rustic parcel
I've only used my directives for events and sparingly. I cant find the rares to use mine on unless I waste them like I do my epics... I knew this was coming but no way to make it doable or worthwhile at this point.
So many wasted epic credits!
heavy cradle
agreeed. just like in the borg arc, I don't see the "fun" with the epic armadas. The rares frustrate me because of the power jump in them (that there aren't lvl 27-29 rares is a topic for a longer discussion). The spawning issue is a matter of timing, too. You can tell the servers are getting bogged down when the armadas just stop spawning...
wild estuary
low heath
🤷♂️
abstract gate
I did 2 times research..Stella weapons....2 times without any effect..no changes in the number of ship Statistik....what the hell is that ....that is kidding
abstract gate
@heavy cradle When you reach a certain point with the Stella, you need to do epics for the upgrades. And they're unpredictable at spawning. The events just have people wasting epic directives for points in Penumbra on the 500m (at least on s29).
buoyant cloud
@pale cobalt No Accomplice has provided me with it yet, but it doesn't increase between rep ranks 2 and 3
pale cobalt
I doubt it will change with rep level I would assume and hope it will change with ops level, ops 38 or 39 as G4 isn't required until then
buoyant cloud
It would be the first ops-related change so far in the faction store though
robust vapor
@buoyant cloud there are items in the augment faction store that are ops level dependant, presumably in the outlaw faction store too.
orchid halo
@orchid halo Who's the fool? You or Scopely, cos I see a lot of money flowing from you to them......
@median slate I made a choice as to how I spend my money, I have no regrets about past actions, as I have the disposable funds, I am merely commenting on the present state of the game and my expectations going forward
buoyant cloud
@robust vapor Those do show for lower levels though, but I guess we're simply not far enough for any (if any) to pop up
robust vapor
@buoyant cloud 🤔 it's been a while, but I'm pretty sure my dusty alt can see things that are level appropriate but still require more reputation to unlock, while lower level players can't see those items. I'll have a look tonight, but this is all pre-augment update 😬 an example if the botany bay blueprints though, which I understand don't show until level 18. There's some combination stuff going on in there..

Hey 🙂 does anyone know in which intervals ascension events take place? I mean the event in which you can get the ascension keys needed for upgrading from ops lvl 39 to lvl 40. I am on EU server 160 and there hasn’t been such an event in months. Two of our 39ers had such events earlier this year. Now we have some more (yes we are a small server) but no event has yet happened. I am thankful for any hint. I already asked support 😂😂 they just said... not at the moment there is no ops related event... no more information was given.... oh well...
raw zenith
Isn't it every Friday?
dire veldt
if the server is mature enough...
oak bobcat
No here it is like months ago... and the server is younger
I got the resources and am ready to push the button... but no ascension keys... 😢
dire veldt
how many ops40+ players on your server?
dire veldt
hmmm, sounds like the ones who got it earlier may have gotten it by mistake that one time.
it is supposed to be every friday for servers that are ready for g4, so if your server doesn't get it every friday it means that they are waiting for enough players to level up so there's not too much of a power imbalance between the heavy spenders and the not so heavy spenders
oak bobcat
Sounds like a sensible approach. Just with two people already having the keys it is already out of balance..
dire veldt
that is unfortunate, looking at those players with nice shiny things you can't get... may be no harm to open a ticket to CS and see what response you get
oak bobcat
So true 🙂 good idea with support ticket. The first player (the only 40+) now reached warp 75...
dapper drum
what seems stupid is the increased cost of keys for the same output of directives
dire veldt
cost of which for what now? 🤔
dapper drum
security keys for directives in rogue store
goes from 12k keys to 27k keys but directives are the same
dire veldt
at least you can grind them ungated, i'm more annoyed about the increased loot cost for uranium....
floral trail
Its your reward for going up in Rogue Rep, you have to grind more
dire veldt
sounds to me like you are expected have way more research done when you reach that rep level, making it easier to grind security codes and muddmada loot
floral trail
Rep is faster to gain than stella particles though, so you advance in rep quicker than your grinding ability
dire veldt
yeah, regretting that apex rogue rep research now 😦
floral trail
Same...
Wish I had put them into warp speed, slightly more useful esp as it takes me 7 mins to reach rogue space
buoyant cloud
@nova schooner Thx, I confused her with Ro Mudd
It doesn't take me 7 minutes from Tombstone 🤔
floral trail
I am based in Morska for tactical reasons... Makes it easier to do 75k crystal refines daily
Also makes it harder for people to port in and raid me.
dire veldt
Also makes defence next to impossible unless your allies have all 5 spots on the planet
buoyant cloud
well I can't fly that far out with my hoes so no reason for me to go to that corner 😄
floral trail
Has its drawbacks.. yes.. I figure if my neighbour tries to empty me its better than an entire alliance as it will still take them a long time.
buoyant cloud
Both defence and offence fully depend on whether you have stronger ships or not
floral trail
Once your base is open, even a realta can get through. Tbh though I am shielded 99% of the time. Location in Morska is nice for Adelpi, and 3* crystal mining. No reason to move at the moment.
In the last 6 months I have been raided in Morska twice, only took about 100m Par both times before I loaded my shield. Usually because I was drunk, lol

his problem is lack of those needing the event

Lets be honest - they were probably planning on more armadas
Realized we would all quit in disgust so they are working to fix it 🙂

Beta and Gamma, they spawn when you destroy the other armada. If you are not super fast another alliance will start it as soon as they see it. I killed 3 of them today.

Beta and Gamma, they spawn when you destroy the other armada. If you are not super fast another alliance will start it as soon as they see it. I killed 3 of them today.
@upper knot that is so odd
On our server the epics only spawn at Delta
And we have run hundreds of these armadas in beta gamma and delta
Hundreds if not thousands
upper knot
I meant Delta, not beta
hollow turtle
Ours are only delta and above (024)
Gamma is very heavily used and I’ve never seen an epic pop there.
spring isle
Only 1 epic in server 15 in penumbra. Nothing else far as i know
tame inlet
@upper knot As only a small percentage of peeps would be involved in RD4 I cant see it changing whats scheduled to drop.
jovial edge
I've only seen the 1 epic in penumbra guessing I'm on surfer 15
granite zenith
the other epics spawn as you kill rares randomly... just like rares spawn when you kill uncommons randomly
they are on server 15, i have been in numerous epic kills int gamma, delta, Karppinen, Midge, and Lindstrom
They are jumped on quick when they spawn, so if you aren't looking directly at them, you will miss them
@jovial edge @spring isle
floral trail
I see them spawn, problem is the client doesn't get its graphical update unless constantly refreshing between galaxy view and system view, usually someone else starts it before you get chance to esp during an event.
quasi token
Will anything be added to the event store. Or is that it?
floral trail
I would imagine thats it, until you level ops that is
clever hound
Why isn't there in the rewards from event Alliance credit?

huh?

@granite zenith I think they are wanting alliance credits added to the event store......
......I speak Yoda lol
granite zenith
glad someone does
tame inlet
Have one in my alliance

I read it as why doesn't the event have alliance credits in the rewards 😂 but I see alliance credits in the alliance event
Unless he means the Toppling eclipse alliance event then no it doesn't because that's for heist loot

“What do you mean, that isn’t good enough?!? I am just GIVING you a hot dog. Shut up and be happy.”
meager galleon
@abstract gate so you got 30K Heist loot for the delay and still get to participate in the Gauntlet event when it does happen
What exactly did you want ?
quick sand
Bonus 30K to spend on whatever you want in the Event Store and still do the event ... SCORE!

not complaining ... better they get it right than have an epic fail ... and we get paid for waiting... no complaints here
when? when it is ready is fine by me

So all I get for an event today is domination solo, with points I already maxed out on and a few mil trit as reward lol...
edgy juniper
at least give an amount like 50k

Depreciation of stuff in this game is happening. So what a top 50 finisher could have won if event was happening today is worth more than that same amount in X days/weeks/months
hexed bobcat
30k is a joke. Anyone who says otherwise doesn’t actually play this game.

I am more upset about the Domination event😂
hexed bobcat
Scopely isn’t sorry. 30k won’t help me do one damn thing.

Guess I will go do something else.

I prefer glass half full to glass half empty ... the event will happen, not cancelled ... happy for a breather
hexed bobcat
The glass is neither

@hexed bobcat Go compare to first place leaderboards for 2-3 day events and tell me 30K is less than those
hexed bobcat
The glass was just thrown at us and now Scopely is laughing at all the players

Happy with 30k points, but an event for everyone to do rather than just shield for the weekend and play eve would be nice.

hexed bobcat
This isn’t the first time Scopely laughed at all the players either. They don’t take this game seriously.
swift plinth
There better be another event I can do today besides hit promote on an officer and be done with domination
abstract gate
30k is value of 5 epic officer shards. 30k is decent compensation if top50 will wait for reasonable amount of time (few days). Indefinent postponing and postponment for more than reasonable time is would make this compesation low
edgy juniper
at least an event that gives out heist loot
hexed bobcat
If I missed a deadline, and couldn’t tell my customer even the status of my project or when it might be done, I’d be fired. Not, “well can I buy you a coffee to make it better” like out the door.
prisma geode
You won’t see Gauntlet to at least next weekend is my guess
hexed bobcat
Scopely does not take this seriously, if they did it would have been hundreds of thousands of tokens. With an in game apology.
But it’s just a joke to them.
abstract gate
I am neither happy or unhappy with compesation. I would just like to know when will event happen

I saw one day left on the outlaw event... expected more than just a domination solo for the last day... I actually need 4k heist loot to get my 2nd stella...

@prisma geode Sceptic in me says gauntlet wont happen ever, and after a month they will send another apology chest for it.
Optimist in me says to wait patiently.

They hyped it to much to not have it.
hexed bobcat
Here, do events for 15 months to build one damn building.

You seem very angry
hexed bobcat
I know you need 12 buildings to go up an ops level, but one ops level every 180 months is ok, right?
abstract gate
They did not count on 46 people from same alliance finishing in top50
hexed bobcat
How could they not!?!??!!!!!
abstract gate
Thats the only reason part 4 is not happening
meager galleon
That’s your theory
hexed bobcat
I said that on day one of the gauntlet event. Provided that feedback directly!
Look at the power distribution on unbalanced servers.
Any 3 year old could see that coming.
prisma geode
If the gauntlet happens in the battle arena system. Just make that system a free for all. Alliance protections go away while in it.
analog yarrow
That assumes they can code that...
prisma geode
If it, truly is going to be a solo event. Have those players drop out of their alliance for the event.🤷♂️
Take the alliance cool down away, so they can leave and rejoin through out the event.
hexed bobcat
I want the event to be good. And I was/am excited to see what they come up with. But they won’t tell us what it is other than “PVP” and they won’t show us the rewards and they won’t give us even an estimate of when it might happen.
And in compensation they are like “here are 5 epic officer shards. Yeah I know you need 100 to have any meaningful value, but here’s 5 because we like to laugh at all you players.”
meager galleon
You don’t have to get Officer shards
analog yarrow
But that's the value... ok 1 and a half epic bps
edgy juniper
scopely at least gives us some meat
abstract gate
It was good concept and idea to make something new. It failed on simple thing "3yr old could see" which scopely did not
hexed bobcat
Ok. Can I get the 15B steel I need to upgrade a single building?
meager galleon
Everything has different value
hexed bobcat
Can I get the 30k ship parts for a single weapon?
meager galleon
Get a ton of Steel - pretty good rate
prisma geode
If it was 50B it would be a deal😉

You’re expecting way too much for a comp chest that is there for a “delay” it isn’t replacing the event
analog yarrow
Yeah I wouldn't call 115m 'a ton' lol
gentle cobalt
Scolepy is nuts, not even worth 2k faction cr
hexed bobcat
For 30k I can get 1B steel. Whoopty doo.
meager galleon
And as I said before - no 2-3 day event first place has ever given 30K Loot I believe
abstract gate
Again, compesation is good or not good depending when event will take place.
But could we know WHEN is "soon at later date"
analog yarrow
Why shouldn't we expect more? We all saw the Eve compensation for the server down time...
meager galleon
You likely won’t even get 30K Loot for your gauntlet prize I imagine
Given the heist loot of other events
gentle cobalt
Many payed a ton to compete in gauntlet and that's what they get?
hexed bobcat
Two points.
analog yarrow
Maybe the event will take place when Jayla officer comes out 🤣
gentle cobalt
Scolepy should prepare for a chain of refund claims
hexed bobcat
If I’m not getting 30k loot when the third event gave more then the whole thing is a joke
meager galleon
@gentle cobalt Why do you think this is what you get only? It isn’t replacing the event. It’s a delay comp chest literally freebie
hexed bobcat
But this isn’t an apology. It’s an insult. We don’t actually acknowledge that we have caused you any inconvenience so here is a joke in compensation
raw zenith
@meager galleon reading is hard. You can’t expect them to read the announcement and comprehend it can you?
hexed bobcat
@raw zenith Shut up. Everyone here knows it’s only a delay
analog yarrow
Equally, from the outrage that's evident you can't just keep saying 'it's free, be happy'
(Although to be fair I predicted 10k war funds 🤣 🤣 )
meager galleon
@hexed bobcat Can you respond to my point earlier ? If no 2-3 day events have given even 30K loot for even top spot (one person getting it) how can you expect more for a delay comp chest ? While still getting chance later at the delayed round
hexed bobcat
The third round gave 50k to the top 10 spots.
abstract gate
@meager galleon armada event for doing solo + being in top 5 alliance in last two days gave more than 30k
meager galleon
Alliance board - is not solo
hexed bobcat
That was for the solo event
I don’t recall what the alliance event was.
Solo leaderboard was 50k for top 10. Half that for 11-20
meager galleon
Toppling Eclipse hasn’t given 30K for top spots neither the other recruit event thingy
gentle cobalt
Here some interesting text
hexed bobcat
I’m talking about the week 3 Gauntlet event. Killing Armadas
Solo event, that qualifies you for the next round of Armadas
gentle cobalt
Lol
hexed bobcat
The last one that earned you a spot in this weekends delayed event.
gentle cobalt
Instant deleting critic texts, scolepy lapdog lvl 50

It’s called following #509679626763632642
hexed bobcat
@meager galleon. Are you referring to the non-Gauntlet events? Yes those where significantly less rewards.
abstract gate
@meager galleon Eclipse (armada) solo milestones in last 48h...just for finish solo, gave out 44.8k heist loot tokens in total
gentle cobalt
Hilarious, they probably not even pay you for playing watchdog 😂
hexed bobcat
But the solo leaderboard that gave out the gauntlet token to the top 50, that was a solo leaderboard and more than the top spot (the top 10 in fact) got 50k tokens. And the gauntlet events as they got harder and more restricted gave out more and more rewards.
edgy juniper
just gives us 20k more we will be more than happy
hexed bobcat
And yes, I know the event is delayed (to sometime...) but to suggest that 30k tokens was adequate compensation for a non specific delay with no information on the event or reason to be excited.
prisma geode
I hope they don’t do Domination all weekend to replace the gauntlet event.
swift plinth
Just give me an event besides domination and I'll be happy...
abstract gate
Thing is we got compesation chest for delay, not for no part 4.
Problem I have is delay was made due to poor planning (90% of top 50 from 1 alliance) and delay does not have time table
swift plinth
I mean I finished domination in literally a minute. Dailies take an hour at most
edgy juniper
or some event gives out heist loot for last few days
hexed bobcat
It’s costs Scopely NOTHING to reward these players with a hefty thank you and sorry.
dense lantern
So that's how eclipse arc ends, not with a bang, but with a whimper...
prisma geode
@meager galleon push lives ops for crucible of war or something for the weekend!
meager galleon
If I had that much power with LO
There would already be good event for the weekend 😂
nova horizon
Would be nice to have something to do
prisma geode
I figured you asking would go farther then me😂
