@twilit imp <@&509691611903426561>
During the Mutany/Mutaneer event, I did not receive proper credit for UC and Rare spent during the event. I opened a ticket, was told they were looking into it, then after the event ended, I was told I was S.O.L. Because they couldn’t fix it. Why is it so hard to make it right by the player??? I don’t want you to change the standings, I simply want a receipt for all my UC / Rare spent during the event, and the reward for wherever I would have finished if it had been calculated correctly in the first place.
I pointed out the glitch with plenty of time for it to be fixed, but was ignored. I don’t want special treatment, I just want to be treated fairly!
Panic, I will await your reply.
granite zenith
and the Content Creators will go back to sleep
cunning knot
why did u tag cc's? but if the points are getting calculated correct idk what they can do, thats more of a live ops thing. Customer service has there limits on what they can do, i would say they should be reported to Live ops by The Customer service team

Gauntlet problems... everyone's ship is 2mil stronger then me.. 0 points for blowing up 50x is kind of stupid
tame crescent
Gauntlet event is stupid on so many levels one guy on our server can crush anyone given he has all three G4 epic ships at lvl 60. Not even going to waste time. Game designers should learn how to level balance in pvp so it doesn’t become skewed to the select few that have spent $500k+
ashen wharf
that wont ever happen unfortunantly you will just be mining and getting blown up until those big spenders decide to quit or kick the bucket
north wraith
Well, it was a well known fact that the last Gauntlet was a PvP and the whales were gonna be there. Nothing really out of normal. That's why I didn't participate to be in, I'm way out of league, despite having the resources to end in top 50.
ashen wharf
but enjoy those hours of doing your dailies
And in two years maxing up your current ship
agile cosmos
down for a pvp event, but wow. they can limit the daily pvp event to specific ships. it would be fun to have some "skill" behind pvp, where officers and loadouts matter
orchid halo
Congratulations scopely, you just made our alliance’s #1 player, a guy who has spent tens of thousands on your game, quit the game
glossy vault
Need more pvp.. 50 tokens not enough. We want 1 token go there one time.. and then go pvp to hearts content. We can pvp anywhere but if ur putting us in a secluded place then let us not have such a limit on attempts.
I mean 1 time to unlock.. then send fleet..to be clear
Referring to gauntlet..
If not Obvious
lucid plover
@twilit imp as the Strength in numbers alliance event is cancelled today will scoperly admit to a complete failure of a event and pull the entire ark to prevent further frustration from all the players
Or if the 3x 1 hour blast alliance events are on should we all expect compensation chests tommorow for been informed yesterday there wont be any alliance events during gauntlet ?
lucid plover
It was fine the 1st time Meows
sturdy ruin
@twilit imp Really? A warp 70 location for a discovery mission? I give up. Going to be a year of grinding before I can complete this. This even is just beyond screwed up.
glossy vault
Do you.. have to use the discovery to get there?.... and what lvl are you that you have a mission from this events that you need warp 70? That sounds odd.
sturdy ruin
Level 40 no jelly and just to level my augur to get to warp 65 will require almost 20k uc. I have 12k left to upgrade my Armor then next level is rares. Then add scotty and maybe I can get there.
it's BS.
glossy vault
Oh..... yes that sux...
sturdy ruin
yyeeeeeap
if I am really dumb I can let em mine my wallet really hard for 2k and viola i can get to that location and get some piddly prize lol
lucid plover
So you need to be ops34 to get a ship that maxed will have the warp range ?
Can they just pull the entire ark ?
Theyve had since January to plan this and it's a disaster
dapper drum
its ops level based
if you are over 40 you should already expect to be spending
this time next year if you are over 40 then its different story as you will actually be prepared

whats the point in playing a game that has nothing to play?!?!?
i want to do the 10min events
finally something to work on
silver solstice
No you don't trust me
silver solstice
200 ships all in one system competing to kill at best 30 hostiles on the screen at any given time. Yeah.. it isn't fun in any way.
quick wharf
so this isnt really event-chat...its more...missing-event-chat?
shrewd totem
@quick wharf they just need time to fix some stuff
silver solstice
It only took them what 4 months to fix the respawn issue for armada events?
shrewd totem
It is a nice idea but without fixing a few stuff,those 10mins events are impossible to do
quick wharf
the short ones are impossible to finish without discovery but still......id like to try
shrewd totem
Problem was mainly events not showing up in your event tab without a restart(which might be too late already)
quick wharf
i know
had that problem for the last 4 months
had to restart for daily events every time they turne
silver solstice
There are but two ways to fix these burst events and keep the same premise. 1. Increase the number of systems where these anomalies are to alleviate crowding. Increase the number of points per hostile kill or lower the milestone tier points needed.
quick wharf
d
the scoring is ok
if you have discovery theres a points multiplier
and thats fine
drowsy viper
So it’s all anomalies events that are cancelled? Not just Chaotic events? Also Galactic Exploration?
quick wharf
seems we are left with the auctions and domination.....ultra fun 🤮
ebon galleon
Domination yaaay.... snore
lucid plover
Strength in Numbers is cancelled aswell
quick wharf
is it?
lucid plover
It must be its a alliance event and @twilit imp made a official announcement last night there would be no alliance events during gauntlet
drowsy viper
So... what events do we have for this arc besides spending events?
quick wharf
hahaah...true......
so if the events actually worked, Scopley planend the gauntlet event to run at the same time as the alliance event that was scheduled?!?!!?
drowsy viper
This is by far the worst start...
hahaah...true......
so if the events actually worked, Scopley planend the gauntlet event to run at the same time as the alliance event that was scheduled?!?!!?
@quick wharf they were kinda complementary I think
Ah no, scopely didn’t plan to run gauntlet I think
They ran it after realising they’ll have almost all events cancelled and to keep whales distracted
quick wharf
like i said...cant wait for this game to come out of beta testing 🤣
lucid plover
It takes a special kind of stupid to have the only event running correctly for 3 days only playable by 1 maybe 2 people on each server
50 players have access but only 1 or 2 can actually compete
dense bough
No no, you can just extend 'anomalies' over the entire schedule - it's just not a player event but rather a developer event where they are competing who can make the most players leave.
quick wharf
🤣
the one that gets mos players to leave gets a job at EVE
its a developer "gauntlet" across 3 arcs
the ones that make it to arc 3 get 10k loot in the store to spend it on Dvor parts
and thats another thing...the gauntlet...
work your way through 3 gautlets spending massive amounts of time in game only to have the final round rewards revealed
frames?!?!?!!?
friggin frames?!?!?!?!?!!?
the winner should get an all expense paid trip to las vegas for a week
quick wharf
the gauntlet would have been better if you did it like this:
the 50 get an option to join the event
once they do, all other ships get an "enemy" mark on them
any ship, anywhere in the galaxcy (from the players that joined) counts
miners, battleships, in and out of station
the way that it is now, you get the higher level players grouped in the "arena" waiting for any ship to come in and smack them arround
lucid plover
Iv teamed up with another player to dive in and kill each other manage 2 or 3 b4 the whale gets us we should get in top5 how where going
granite wadi
Great response to it. I have lost count how often everyone (including me) hates on a new dynamic, points required for an event or similar thing - but then worked out that there is a way to do something by thinking a little differently.
calm stream
Think outside the box there is always a way to rank even with average ships

How are we supposed to upgrade discovery when we get it, if the events rewarding parts to upgrade discovery are cancelled?
lucid plover
Cancel the ark and admit failure Scopely
weak ore
There is a jelly sitting in the system on our server. No-one can really touch it, he warps out if one of about 3 other players scratches the paintwork. I’m teamed up with another player & we take turns to hit each other. This event seems to have unified our server, everyone hates it
lucid plover
The 50 that have access are dodging in and out when they can the rest of the server have no events except domination which takes 1 min to promote a officer
abstract gate
Cause that’s fun
late otter
Hey - I’m level 40 with no 4* ship. It’s a trap
The third discovery mission asks to kill a 4.3m boss which my tier 4 enterprise 2.2m with help of sally and b’rel hardly scratches
Later on in the level 40+ mission chain you have to go to warp 75+ systems - also cannot do that
So I cannot complete the missions at all
Also at level 40 most events give 4* unc which is pretty useless
I raised a ticket with scopely and they basically said talk to my alliance and use discord for tips on how to upgrade my ships 😂
I pointed out I could not do it in time for arc to finish, I only get 1/3rd 3* unc now that I used to because they kept giving 4* instead
So what they are really saying is drop £10,000 and get enterprise up to tier 8 then I can join in.
I’m this close to quitting over it, already spent prob £2k on this game up to now and they would rather lose players than help them
And it costs nothing for them to help me
Rant over - sorry 😂🙈
granite wadi
I think it would be a great idea if for water shed moments in the game like that there was a warning like when you hit level 15 (I think?) and can be exposed to PvP. They should have more of those.
late otter
Scopely are basically assuming everyone who is level 40+ has paid huge amounts of £££ to buy a 4* ship
I mean it’s almost impossible to win jelly event , then you have to wait for shipyard 41 before you can build a 4* faction miner
So again - level 40 is a trap
I’ve told them to compensate me or sort it out somehow or I’m not spending a penny on this game until they do
All they think about is money - and it costs nothing for them to help me... they can pretend I’m a youtuber - they don;t mind throwing it out then...
granite wadi
I am curious, what do you see as the fix?
late otter
Stop giving me 4* as rewards, to give me a chance to save up to upgrade my 3* epic ships
Don’t give 4* to anyone without 4* ships , rather than looking at my level
And give me missions (for this discovery arc) that a level 38 would get
Or give me a jelly 😂
granite wadi
I doubt they could do anything with missions just for you, but maybe they could re-evaluate the bracket for all 40s. I wonder where the boundaries are. Not giving 4* rewards seems reasonable to anyone without a 4* ship seems reasonable on the face of it, but then you wouldn't get chance to save up in advance. Fingers crossed they go for your last option lol.
late otter
It’s a serious problem - I would never have gone to level 40 if I knew this would happen. I believe I’m not alone having no 4* ship at level 40 - basically anyone who does not have a jelly and is level 40 is in the same boat as me
granite wadi
No I have definitely read a few people with the same complaint over the last few days.
late otter
You cannot build anything except jelly between level 39and 40
So yeah - it’s basically the pay wall/quit time
granite wadi
It was a throw away line in a podcast (I forget whose) the other day about not going to 40 unless you know you can do what's needed. Definitely seems like it is something that is known. Let's hope they evaluate it more. As time goes on more people will get to these points that didn't pay their way there and it would be a shame to lose experienced players over this sort of thing. I made the mistake of over reaching at a fairly low level, and that was a pain to get out of. I dread to think what it must be like higher up.
lucid plover
A good solution would be to have a info tab in game that tells you these kind of things instead of having to search discord ect
granite wadi
Definitely. I get that they say they want us to discover things organically, but when it can have such a negative effect on gameplay it is worth some sort of popup.
cloud grail
A good solution would be to have a info tab in game that tells you these kind of things instead of having to search discord ect
@lucid plover That Takes Customer Service into account.. a documentation department. They have no budget, thats why its outsourced to LCARS
Definitely. I get that they say they want us to discover things organically, but when it can have such a negative effect on gameplay it is worth some sort of popup.
@granite wadi the game has to be LOGICAL and INTUITIVE for that to work. This game is not
granite wadi
Yeah I have seen that there are definitely pits you can fall into. Have got into the habit of double checking dailies on lcars prior to every ops increase, but these other things would be harder to find for sure.
lucid plover
LCARS does a great job for the game and the ammount of info they have available is impressive but not everyone is on discord
Something simple that tells you what to expect at certain lvls wouldnt take much they do it for ops15
So letting you know differences at other milestone levels isnt a lot to ask
granite wadi
Totally. I think that is entirely reasonable.
lucid plover
as theres only 4hrs 30 mins till the alliance event Strength in numbers is scheduled to start can we get confirmation that it is cancelled @twilit imp @pale moss <@&509690795536941056>
jaunty sonnet
A PvP Poem, An Ode to Scopely
It was our fondest dreams
To see more PvP
To mine less crystal seems
And destroy some more D3s
The gauntlet they provided
To separate wheat from chaff
But see they didn’t deny it
The whole thing turned out naff
But lo we have a tourney
So all can see for sure
Who is the biggest bully
Who mops, with us, the floor
But wait it too is broken
Because an Ops 33 is first
It’s not a PvP match as spoken
But who can cheat the worst
So have some fun, and fight the fight
But do not think to win.
Cos half have left and fight the right
It’s fixed and rigged again.
flat fog
You need T6+ epic ship (or jelly) before going to 40, to be somehow safe
jaunty sonnet
Scopely how about you make this a proper event and not allow people to trade blows. I have 47 tokens and can get two friends with similar amounts to send ships to PvP space with me where we each have a ship with kumak as captain and a ship for dishing out damage. We attack each of our kumak ships twice with our damaging ships and keep sending those back for more easy kills. That is not PvP that is gaming the system. Add a negative modifier for losing - or better yet, divide the number of wins by the number of losses and multiply by the total number of battles fought. That way those who have really attempted to do this will get higher scores than those who just helped each other to the top spots. I refuse to do it and am happy with whatever I get. I just don’t see how you can allow a broken game mechanic to stay running.
lucid plover
They have to keep it running as is as nothing else is working
jaunty sonnet
Change the scoring system. They can do that easily - it will teach those that take what would have been awesome and turn it into a farce
lucid plover
whats so awesome about the biggest whale killing everyone that enters the system ?
Why should I waste my repairs and resources so they can run away with first place
theres a event and its upto the player to work out how best they can score points
For 48 or 49 in the event on every server the only way to score is to work together

Pair with someone @lucid plover both of you send 2 ships each, one BB with Vemet and the other a warship - 2 kills each that way
lucid plover
I have been vengeance 🙂
potent tartan
I've only scored a couple of points.. couldn't care less if I was higher than 50th to be honest, the event itself is poor and highly imbalanced, better to run it based on crews than ship strength (yes whales would most likely win - but you're taking 4-8m power ships out of the equation)

i got my one kill so i can get a reward and that's it for me

@late otter I guess maybe they should make Jelly easily attainable so ones who are about to hit lv 40 can have a G4 ship and also be able to tier it up enough to keep up with the events and such missions 🤔
winged light
Does anyone have Galactic Exploration event?
Should be on now, according to the schedule
primal aspen
At 40 we should get the 3* rewards we did at 39 PLUS the 4* rewards. It shouldn’t be one or the other. The problem at 40+ isn’t mat, it’s Tritanium!

Anyways it will take me at least 6-9 months to reach there😂
hopefully by then we'd have more event ships (maybe something for lv 36~38) or an easy way to get the jelly and

Is galactic exploration also postponed?
lucid plover
Yes where does it say them events are cancelled ?
shrewd totem
Anomalies are broken,till they are fixed,You won't have Anomalies showing up in galaxy and because of that you cant do events related to them which means they won't start till Anomalies are fixed
lucid plover
This is the only event that has bee announced as cancelled
lucid plover
Couldnt you of answered before the events should of started ?
Iv asked about these for the last 20 hours
lucid plover
Theres not just you Jess theres other admins that have been online
The announcement was made when Anomalous phenomenon event failed to work as intended
And the announcement only says anomaly events so wasnt clear that all the events were cancelled
shrewd totem
Not all events. Events related to Anomalies
You can see which are related and which aren't in news
fresh bramble
So all anom events canceled and no alliance events before Monday so most are canceled
I guess today we get another solo domination event
lucid plover
So we have domination to look forward to and a rubish pvp event if your 1 of the few involved ?
shrewd totem
Better to have them cancelled than having buggy events that no one can finish
keen ledge
Today, the calendar just shows "Black Alert". I have asked if something else will run tomorrow in place of Anomalies. If we hear anything, we'll let you know.
lucid plover
I agree they should be cancelled the whole ark should be pulled its the biggest failure theyve made so far
fresh bramble
Yea a ship that really has no purpose now
granite wadi
I couldn't disagree more - I want the arc, I just want it working. I will be glad when it is back personally.
fresh bramble
I just hope they tell us when the events are coming back not just pop and lose out on them
lucid plover
I enjoy the arks but this is pointless and frustrating as it is
It needs pulling fixing testing fully and then relaunched
Give us something else in the mean time instead
fresh bramble
Give us more of the characters from Discovery now instead of waiting for the next arc.

@shrewd totem we shouldn't had to leave our own alliance to kill each other....
Pvp is the worse I ever saw in any game I ever played. Even candy crush have a smarter pvp system 😩

And the players come up with so many cool ideas .. they should just spend half an hour at the feedback section .. there are many awesome suggestions on how to improve stuff
shrewd totem
Yeah I know how PvP system is biased towards $$ rather than skills/officers. Doubt it will change anytime though. Most people play for PvE aspect,rarely find anyone in my server that wants PvP

Good one was .. just instant repair the ships to the dock after dying in the pvp arena .. man that would be some action 😂

@shrewd totem Im sorry... that is not the answer to a faulty event plan... the first round should have never been alliance based... that would have made the playing field more even... now they know
granite wadi
That's the key isnt it. They need to try new things like this, new formats, new mechanics, take feedback, and learn. It feels to me like they do that a lot more than they get credit for.
plush rivet
@twilit imp yet the mission sends me to a lvl 13 system, but you want me to remove lvl 27 or higher hostiles.... does not compute.
rough frost
@shrewd totem it s not that they don't want pvp I m sure.
It s more who want pvp when :
1- the range level are ridiculous
2- it take time and don't help at all with any progress in the game
3- is costly in repair and speed up
The only pvp I enjoy are when defending a base. Because I may win nothing, but at least there one objective : protecting my friends.
But even that become 💩 when you protect against someone 10 lvl over you 🤣
indigo perch
@plush rivet dont compute, just shoot
plush rivet
@indigo perch lol, yea but it would be nice if the mission sent you to a system that had the proper level hostiles in it...
im on the hunt for a guy with subspace weapons, oh wait let me make a detour to find enemy's strong enough to let me pass into the next part... lol
indigo perch
@plush rivet but...Scopley
rough frost
@plush rivet it s a waste of time. When I have mission like that, I keep the ship in the mission system and use another to kill swarm / probes / eclipse so at least I progress in dailies or win something useful 😀
plush rivet
@indigo perch true... I keep forgetting that... if it doesnt give $$$ then it doesnt matter
@rough frost I have been as well, but from a story line prespective... send me to a lvl 27 or 28 system... not a lvl 13 with a bunch of new players in it
rough frost
It s the new mission? I don't remember going to a baby system 😅 but as I said, I never kill dot there anyway, I probably done a batch of swarm instead
plush rivet
its like the next to last part of the discovery 1.1 mission
There was another attack mission that wanted you to kill 10 hostiles lvl 30 or higher.. and I was in like a lvl 15 system

You better only keep the battle pass... scrap anything else

missions give some nice rewards..

I am ops 41 but without a jellyfish cuz i havent thrown $5000 at once to earn one. Well i am halfway through first mission and there is a 4.3 million power enterprise stopping me from playing event ! My $2000 over time enterprise is 2.6 and cant touch it. So now i cant progress with event or other high end content without a jellyfish which they “auction” out one every 3 months😡
north agate
Scopely’s biggest mistake was making each added level 10 times more powerful than the last instead of 1/10th more powerful. I exaggerate the math, but this error is evident in every concept of this game. The paying player would still have spent $ for an advantage.

That's how not properly releasing finished product leads to panic and rushing in things without announcement. It's a vicious cycle and I think we're seeing a collapse in progress with both Gauntlet and arc introduction disasters.
For Gauntlet it seems they won't even bother saying anything about how bad it is. Just be very quiet and hope it goes away. Won't be long now unless a miracle happens and someone there wakes up understanding that this content crunch without fixing the foundation can't continue.
nova schooner
the gauntlet is as advertised, 3 weekends of eliminations, and 1 weekend of PvP... exactly what they said it would be. now did everyone understand that, no. does everyone think its fair, no. but remember, you can't buy rep--they still gotta put time and effort in get those ships, with the help of Amex

So if the event on the weekend requires us to get cultivated mycelium does that mean we have to have space in the greenhouse to actually refine it? Cos at the moment I’m chock full.
heavy cradle
we'll have to see what the actual event text says, but it sounds like you can get points by either cultivating it (having room in your greenhouse) or gathering it (mine/kill reds).
if you want to get points by cultivating, you'd need to spend some of your overstock using the drive.

Which sucks, because yea, those of us that bought the ship would have used it for the burst events. But instead, its sitting in the garage
Now with emergency maintenance and no events, there was NO advantage to having the ship early, and the comp pack was a joke for it
fleet parcel
Hey do they ever rebalance ranked groups? Seems like 1-27 great 27 + u a doomed...
I am guessing they balanced for being servers? Most players lump 1-27 but on older server 28+ is the bigger pools but a 28 player can’t compete with a 40 plus when it comes to a station event...
And on top the drop the rank from 1-25 to top 10? Just wondering if they would ever consider fixing or adjustments based on server age?
hollow goblet
So the gauntlet event was clearly a well thought through idea that was worth the wait then.
Is it as much fun on other servers too?
granite zenith
So if the event on the weekend requires us to get cultivated mycelium does that mean we have to have space in the greenhouse to actually refine it? Cos at the moment I’m chock full.
@jaunty sonnet yes... jump around... jump around...
in truth the black alert event occuring now gets you points for jumping
waxen vault
What the heck?!?
pseudo socket
No they've never updated the event brackets for balance in the entire life of this game
Different brackets exist for different events but once they're in, they might as well be set in stone

Day 2 of the worst event since errrr the last event. Players with the biggest credit card, er ship, er fighting skills sat in one system or players now opting for “combat” with Dvors and Vemet. What a joke Scopely. Why not get actual players to shape events that WOULD work and be a reward for 4 weeks of effort and spend.
abstract gate
Apparently Scopely designs a spore drive which is just tiny. We all know that the REAL spore drive has a huge amount of range, almost or maybe even infinite. Instead Scopely designs one with a max of 30 and 35 with scotty. Lol.

This event is so bad. We have 40% of the players in the event gauntlet on our server. With people just playing pick a partner a suicide out player are the most disadvantaged now it has hit this low - for being the best qualifying for the event. I volunteer to help Scopely plan events...... it’s a disaster
eternal violet
They could have done something not so restrictive like basing it on top 50 players PD gain over 3 days or something. No silly system, no silly tokens, no whales camping.
floral coral
Our gauntlet event on server 139 is full of players win trading. It’s a joke that people think cheating is actually pvp
rose sphinx
@floral coral That reminds me of the milestone PvP event that occurred during the Separatist event. Mostly everyone would find a partner from another alliance and trade wins until the milestones were completed. Unless you were one of the top dogs in the galaxy, then just they would run around killing everyone!
cloud grail
Because again ""PVP"" is a joke on this game.
and yes the Double Quote is intentional. to emphasize the absurdity of this games ""PVP"" component
floral coral
I understand the weaker players maybe arranging a couple of wins, but our top ranked player is a level 40 who has 74 kills from win trading. We even have caught her killing another level 37 player from her own alliance, who left to allow it and came with a miner while she was in a vidar with Pan. The minute you come to kill them they warp out and come back when it is quiet. It makes a mockery of pvp leaderboards and screws over anyone trying to do it properly
They should have just restricted the event to Stella pvp
cloud grail
PVP and proper does not go together in Star Trek Mining Command
Name one PVP event that this community liked in the past two years cause I can't recall

Stella pvp same thing would happen. 700k+ Stellas will wipe the floor with any low levels.

abstract gate
@floral coral You're dead on. It's happen on S29 as well. Frankly, I expected it because Scopely encourages that sort of thing. I mean, 'win at all costs'.
Any PvP event Scopely puts on is just something that gets gamed either because it's necessary to complete the event or because someone wants to win badly enough to even perhaps leave their alliance, drop their alliance stats so they can trade kills with their own alliance.
No need to get upset about it. Scopely rewards that sort of thing, we should not be surprised when people do it. If Scopely cared about it, or fair play, this discord wouldn't be as busy as it is. 😉
So no need to gripe about it. You can fill out surveys, scribble in discord, get bot customer service give you canned responses... either play, or don't. Simple enough.
I will say that it is a horribly disappointing way to end the Gauntlet, which.... well, seems to be what should be expected as well.
Had I known what the final event was, I wouldn't have bothered. I imagine a lot of others would not have bothered either.
shrewd totem
they told you it will be PvP
vestal wedge
they didnt say it will be 4 days and a poop fest
abstract gate
@shrewd totem Nah, they didn't. Not from the start.
pale cobalt
Forgive me if I'm wrong but wasn't there a massive hint in the wording at the very beginning of the gauntlet event as well something about battling to see who is the biggest and best warrior so round 4 being PvP I always expected the whales to dominate the final round
abstract gate
@pale cobalt Could be. Could be I missed that. But then, the hype over the event overpowered the fine print, as good marketing does. 🤣
Doesn't really matter thats its pvp, its that for a new idea it has no new element to it, systems where pvp scores points is established, and locked systems have been around since borg lat, and thats all that has to it. 4 days of that, mighty disappointing for the climax of a final stage of an arc
Anyway, I'm not griping. I'm just saying... expect nothing else from Scopely. Play the game or not. Pretty simple.
@abstract gate Agreed. I'm not sure how any of the final part of the gauntlet has to do with the outlaw arc other than a few researches in the outlaw tree.
pale cobalt
As far I could tell Gauntlet had nothing to do with outlaws it was mostly linked to the event store not outlaws itself
abstract gate
@pale cobalt OK, maybe you missed the fine print on that one, but it was to be the last part of the Outlaw Arc.
pale cobalt
What it was supposed to be and what it actually was are 2 different things, as far I could tell it didn't link to outlaws only the event store
abstract gate
@pale cobalt The Gauntlet was an integral part of the outlaw arc. Well, they said that anyway.
Even if the gauntlet just follows a locked pvp arena system, the lack of original thought is what always bores me.
Lots have said restrict it to g3 ships that would make it better as its then balanced and more tactics are required with crew and actual strategy when in the arena. Although i do get those who have spent bucks on their g4 would get annoyed.
I dont know, restrict the types of ships, or develop a way that only certain crew can be used, or some ships/crews get a boost on this occasion, and rotate on days or next gauntlets
Players with bigger ships they have paid for i dont resent winning, just make it sodding interest in some way beyond this
@abstract gate Yeah, I know a few level 30s who just have no chance other than trading kills. Since they can't design a good PvP event... wait, they actually did that with the little Jelly events... well, since they choose not to do them... on S29, of the 50, only 38 have bothered scoring.
Hardly a way to reward their efforts, in my eyes. I'm not bothered by it, I'm used to it, but admittedly it does suck to see people get their cherries popped that way. So either they will continue playing or not.
I'm presently on the back burner with the game. I've spent a fair amount of money, the new content was somewhat interesting, but it's all modeled on the same system which is basically warp here, pew pew, warp there, pew pew, insert credit card here... Armadas were supposed to be the answer to everything, but they're a mess. In fact, one PvP question Scopely fielded way back when was in dealing with overpowering whale ships, and Scopely's response was "Armadas!". So even they didn't understand armadas. 🤣
This is just the way it is. Scopely ain't gonna change. So what I am saying is... get over it or get past it or vote with your feet.
🤣🤣 i played the game since launch so i know what their like.
Just its long overdue to develop some additional layers to this game.
Lot of games you play the 'new content' has some sort of benefit to it, yes the stella has a multiplier, for its special purpose but it can extend beyond that during an arc or in the arena.
The game is very fed orientated we all know this, which is fine makes sense.
But a 4 day arena event.
Day 1- Romulans ships/crew have a boost.
Day 2. Klingon etc etc
Day 4 Outlaw
Or have it so the new content outlaw crew have some crazy boost to them vs normal crews.
Yes the mega whale will still likely win, but adding layers like this gives players an advantage over others each day and close the pay gap on occasions depending if its favourable to you on that occasion.
Its not a radical idea seen that in many a game where a race/type of character/ship gets a boost.
But yeah scope i dont expect such thoughts 🤣

Final round of gauntlet isn't so bad. I still have 31 tokens left and my kvort has 45 kills. 😂

@twilit imp
Another Day, Another Scopely Failure!
The 40+ event is REALLY A 42+ EVENT because the Jelly is not accepted as a G4 Faction ship. AND since only Ops 42 could have a "G4 Faction Ship" there is NO WAY an Ops 40 or 41 player can complete this event, so ITS NOT a 40+ event. Feel free to have the Dev's push out Reward completion to all 40s and 41s for False Advertising (In-station news says G4, event says G4 Faction & the fact that Faction minimizes Ops to 42 to compete).
dense lantern
How is it fair that a level 23 and a level 35 have to get the same points in the context is king event, but the level 35 gets 6.7m titanium for the last milestone, but the 23 gets 800k?

Thanks for giving me an event I can't do. Can you float me 20k or so so i can participate you bunch of morons😂
Maybe if the event starts at 40 let the black jelly score points as well. Just common sense that screwply sorely lacks
clever obsidian
The gauntlet event is so stupid, who is going to score well? The p2w players with their 6m strength ships. Idiotic event, ive used a couple of the tokens just to open the space and do a kill to put myself on the board, that's my limit as there's a group of big ships in the middle that don't attack each other just the lower level players, amateur hour at scopley hq
upper knot
The ironic thing about the gauntlet event is that you can score way more points by working with someone and trading kills than you can by actually trying real PvP.
but please, let's all get the focus back on this G4 faction ship event thing. Keep the rage flowing people!

In addition to being buggy, it is just a rehash of everything we have already done. Scopely needs to completely rethink rewards and packs and assess what makes sense when putting these things together. This is more effort than it is worth for the two cents worth of prizes.

As per the context is king solo LB event I'm a bit confused still why people will spend money to win an avatar that you get as the final battle pass prize anyways. Not sure if scopely duped people into this with consistently training people to spend on avatar events or if it was just a mistake on their part(let's be honest it's very unlikely).

I think it's garbage. The fact that I could mine and hunt all day and someone pays $20 to make my hard work look like I barely did anything is half of why i just did the milestone event and then didn't bother going any further.
The other half of not bother with this solo event is that the avatar they offer as a prize you get for the last tier of the premium battlepass.

for 400k you need mine/hunt many hours -.-

Ok Scopely, Here is my Question: Since when did you allow someone to buy thier way to the top of the leader board on a MINING Event? I can understand a Domination event, but a Mining Event? You F'd anyone that already bought a pack, so they had to burn down thier credits to unlock their refinery, then make them buy more packs to win at a Mining Event? REALLY? :Boo:
Any loyal players that will activly mine over the course of the day can't compete against people that will just pull out thier cards (AGAIN). This event is completly unfair/unbalanced.
This event is a Money Grab that craps on anyone that previously bought a Mycelium pack to play in the now broken/canceled Anomaly events. Scopely is capitalizing on people that are either ticked off or lazy, and crapping on those that invested in the packs early by capping the refinery/harvesting.
Recomendation: The cap should be removed from the refinery, and the Mycelium pack should not add to the score during an event or it be removed during the event.

@trail rapids the rewards are a slap in the face, just don’t participate. Who cares if they buy a win. Not like they are really winning anything.😂
You honestly spent more time on that graphic then I did on the events.😬

Laugh at them for buying a win for a reward they are already getting in the battle pass

Dear Scopely, I assume the current crop of events have been created by Eve Echoes developers working undercover in your design team?

<@&509691205798592532> can scope make some events for us to do. Game is so boring. It’s arch event should be busy doing stuff not sitting around waiting for lame gauntlet event to finish. Which I’m in and even that is like watching paint dry.

In all reality, what we really want is arcs and content based off of Romulan, Klingon, and Federation content. Give us Bps for g3 and g4, officers we will actually use. That’s what’s been missing for a year now. We want to get back to the basics.

I cannot thank you enough for those ELEVEN battleship parts for top tier on event. Im so Grateful. I need 10k for ONE MODULE of my battleship. So that IS a huge boost

11 is generous be happy you got that 😏

@trail rapids I have over 400k points and I havent brought a pack. And its not a mining event its a collect event
trail rapids
I’m mining/collecting/extracting at 93k/h with 4 ships (1 Discovery, 1 maxed Horizon w/10of10, 1 LVL20 KVort, 1 Maxed North Star). It takes me over 4 hours to over take someone that buys a $20 pack, and I already bought a $20 pack before the event that became useless. Word semantics doesn’t change the fact that what they are doing is wrong, and they F’d up.
BTW, I’m currently at 560k, already overtook 2 lazy players on the leaderboard, but it took me all day.
Oh, When did they offer a $20 pack to skip Data Extraction?

Hit hostiles it's quicker then mining

Players are just hitting each other opc repeatedly because it's glitching and giving them both points for the event o.o Each give the other OPC by killing and they jump up the scoreboard.
So not only can you buy your way to the top, literally, you can cheat to the top too xD

A pay to win lb mining event and a ms mining event for 22 battleship parts
Only scopely would think this is a great replacement for 117 and counting cancelled events so
Give us a decent event we can actually play with prizes we want run COW for 3 days or the eclipse version so we can get some more of the apex medals we need for research
But just give us something to actually do

Yes kill the mycel npcs, my kumari need ship XP also i level it with mycel npcs.
Yes i also waiting for Apex medal Event, hrr.... 6 medals left before i can start the first Apex medal research..

Rewards for "Context is for Kings" are a joke, esp. the SLB. Not worth spending time ingame at all.

the rewards are an insult! The Intrepid for example needs several k parts per update,..and I get 22 from a main event! What is wrong with you scopely?

@thin zephyr When you pull into station, you did not earn any more material. so it is neither.
thin zephyr
I didn’t pull into station, I just reset node
And how pulling into station differ anything? 🤔this event is about earning dylithium, thus points given when you ‘get’ it
trail rapids
Its counting when you collect material (no matter how - Kill OPC ship, Kill Hostile, Mine, Buy Pack), when you reset the node or return to station, you didn't collect more material but still get a notice
and you were not resetting a node for points like that, when the node sizes are only 800. More like hitting a ship on a node

@trail rapids you weren't supposed to tell about the whale glitch

I’m not a whale, and Scopely screwed the whales/dolphins/regular players in this arc anyways.

Best part about the solo leaderboard is it gives you the same avatar everyone gets at the end of the battlepass
swift plinth
You can literally cheat to win the mining event, which screws over the players who actually mined o.o
Players will get OPC, then have a buddy hit them, stay there, and then come back and hit opc again
And it's giving both the person who gets hit and the person hitting equal points
I mean even the Lat event when you can steal OPC for points negates points if you have Lat stolen from you....
So I mean.... how are players supposed to feel when you give a makeup event with terrible rewards that you can only win by cheating in
Just compare the amount of raw mycelium a player has in their inventory against any purchases made and total points earned in the event and it's obvious... And that's just for scopely to figure it out. Players have already confirmed it in my server.
primal urchin
But the rewards are garbage so who cares?
tribal elbow
I think the idea was to have people spend their mycelium during the anomaly events and now they would be stocking up anyways. So events were just some extra incentive, but cancelling the events (and not being able to get the ship for free yet) messes things up
knotty birch
And those that got compensated got mycelium so that cannot refine during this event! Perfect job!

Not only did Scopley roll out a broken event, it rolled out a horrible broken event that tries to force players to watch the game 24 hours a day as long as the event runs . . .

The announcement says the "Strength in Numbers" event will happen at 5:30 pm PST, is it correcttime zone reference? Just asking because it is not the usual time to start events (and also PST is not the best time zone reference for our region)

I don't even know what time zone CET is, So doesn't help me or many others in the EU
What was wrong with sticking to UTC we all know what that is

Can we get to the conversation on how gauntlet was nothing but a disappointment and not even an actual competition? Or did I miss that already?
light ocean
And who else feels very demotivated with this 'new' Discovery arc? It's just same old events and concepts recycled but with a new storyline.
They try new things, but fail epically:
- the burst events, no need to explain
- can't finish the first mission chain as I'm Ops 40 and need to kill a really strong mission boss in a warp 80 system, where I need cadet Scotty for
- yesterday's event was a laugh too, had to shoot 70 lvl 49 surveys in Sol, Romulus or Kronos... With a G4 faction ship... I'm level 40 and those ships are only available at shipyard 41...SIGH
Yes, gauntlet lol, another pvp event attempt
wild estuary
On our server its the mega alliance protecting the ring with their lvl 45+ ships trying to make sure no one else points.
pale cobalt
I have flat out refused to spend any money on this Discovery Content I haven't even brought the elite battlepass which I have always brought
wild estuary
I had to make arrangements with every one else to do simultaneous warp ins and crash a low level ship into theirs to make sure they even got on tje board.
light ocean
That's rude. On our server we find players from friendly alliances to exchange points with.
Tip: use Stella & Vemet (captain) + Kumak + Livis = tripple kills
wild estuary
That's what Ive been doing. Only 16 people not in their alliance even made it to the last arc. Been donating my warp tokens to make sure all of them got points for rewards.
And Ive been doing the Kumak and Livis combo. Aye.
light ocean
The big whales have the upper hand, so no fun & everyone just stayed away from the arena.
So we started making deals
ashen wharf
Im not even touching the game lol
light ocean
Another annoyance is the size of the mycelium mines, 800?! You frickin kidding?
wild estuary
Yeah. They dont make deals. And if they catch you in their trying to get points the lol 45+ get a discord ping or warp in to put a stop to you.
ashen wharf
Think i might join the alliance that has quit for eve and just hit miners when they feel like logging in

It will mean that the highest level NON BONUS system will likely be best option, depending on bonus level, but hitting hostiles in those two system will be a shit show.

hasty delta
Ok, so Context is for kings(Credit card event) is almost over and I didn't even complete the first 2 steps of the first day. didn't participate in the second day because I can't be grinding for 4 hours+ on top of doing all of my dailies, and the events that actually get battlepass points. I hope that Scopely actually makes these events fair for the players with empty wallets.
solemn sequoia
its a credit card leaderboard and thats about it lol
the mining for this one is literally worthless
because the max warp on the discovery is 30
hasty delta
max warp is irrelevant, because if you don't have discovery, you can't mine fast enough to get the event done in a reasonable time, and farming hostiles takes hours on end.
nova valley
Milestones were easy with decent payout for the effort. The slb was the pay event. And it was.
wise cedar
Ahh sweet! Wanted to thank you again scopely for another spectacular lvl 40 daily event of upgrade your ship using G4 uc ship parts! You guys are really knocking these events out of the park for lvl 40-41’s....

@simple spear If you have 10/10 which I do not.
Because I also didn't pay to get it when the borg events were running.
simple spear
I didn't pay either just been doin ultra pulls since they put him in there
honest crown
No 10/10 no max horizon. Think I used a t5. Hit the anomaly hostiles while mining, got points for that event and hostile hunt at the same time. Hit that goal and moved on to swarm Sunday again counting towards hostile hunt. Swarms were done and hostile hunt was nearly complete too. Multitask them. The milestones were by no means a credit card event. Rewards were soft though
stone hare
Will probably lose it overnight but it is possible to compete (and maybe win?) as f2p in the gauntlet 💪

Context is for kings isn't a pay to win event. I havent spent a penny and have 1.9mil in points
ashen copper
congrats, your grind will be rewarded with an avatar everyone gets from the battlepass for free 😂

No grind involved. Its a collect event so collect some then try out different crews and ships with a friend in a different alliance both get points towards the event so complete the tiers and get points for the leaderboard. No need to mine and no need to grind but you get to have some fun

@hybrid sigil I havent see anything that tells us that the anomaly events have been fixed so I assume not.
vestal wedge
nope
granite wadi
I dont see it being an easy fix. For as long as I remember, events have not refreshed for me at 5pm and I have had to force close the game to get them and this is really common. Whatever causes that has to be at least related.
dapper drum
galactic alert needs to be sent out like when someone starts an armada
only problem is having that alert work as well
maybe an actual solution is have it run every 45 minutes the moment the big hand hits 12
it wasn't very accurate when it did run
was always off a few minutes

Just a quick pop in to say 🖕 scopely over this gauntlet event. What a big steaming pile of 💩. Way to phone it in, 🍆s.

it was also a 10 mins popup event, so same issue

Question about tonight’s event: will it start at 5:30pst or 4:30PDT? As CA is still on Daylight Savings Time, 4:30 would seem to make sense. (Then I need to adjust that time to CDT where i live.)

in game description says that the bonus is only for uss discovery?

"2 of the 15 systems will provide bonus points for killing hostiles and mining Mycelium while using the USS Discovery" - that means the bonus is restricted to just the USS Doscovery ?
nova valley
the original event did not call for the multiplier to be limited to discovery
@deft owl if that's what's happening, i'd like to know, but my interpretation was just 2 systems offering double points. period.

@nova valley we are still trying to figure out, but only a couple have discovery in our alliance

its a PM event guys
Commanders,
We will be introducing a new event tomorrow called Strength in Numbers as we work in parallel to fix the issues with the Anomalous Phenomena events.
How the Strength in Numbers (ALB) event works:
Start:
- US: Monday (9/14) - 5:30 pm PST
- EU: Monday (9/14) - 5:30 pm CET
- APAC: Tuesday (9/15) - 5:30 pm JST
Duration: 1 hour
Scoring: Team up with your Alliance to destroy as many hostiles and mine as much Mycelium in any of the 15 new Anomaly systems
Note: 2 of the 15 systems will provide a point multiplier for killing hostiles and mining nodes but the 2 selected systems will be a mystery. It’s up to you and your alliance to coordinate and determine the bonus point systems.
Thank you for your continued patience!
Live Long & Prosper!

one thing we need to make note of @granite zenith is that some folks said that it didn't translate right in EU. which got e thinking... are we in PST? or PDT right now? folks just need to dobule check and make sure. i'm tring to seek clarification for US servers.

Complaint on gauntlet event: i worked VERY hard as a 27 to qualify for the final gauntlet event. Being a pvp event, i got smacked by everybody because they are 30+. Now, i don't even get the special frame for participating because I couldn't win against anyone! All 50 that qualified should be rewarded for our efforts if the game makes it unwinnable for some of us. Im very unhappy about spending money to guarantee placement and didn't even get a fair shake in the event

Wait. Why am I doing an Apex event in a Discovery arc to mine data when I'm in G4 for the regular mining event?
What is this, fricking Twister?
nova valley
and then we say HEY
lol
apex is monthly recurring. here to stay. will be here forever. (don't complain on apex or i'll stab this doll that has your name written on it) thank gdness after the weekend we had.
abstract gate
Apex is a monthly event that continues past the stella arc so we can still get research medals
nova valley
yeah the rewards really are awesome.
abstract gate
@nova valley Yeah, they blew another one out of their... well, pick an orifice. Everyone plans for the weekly mining event, so those of us mining G4 are mining G4 which means we're up up and out of reach of the BB's range for the data mining area...
Stab away at that doll. Scopely's been using it.

either free "primes" (apex resarches) or uncommon mats payout is strong.
the GOOD news is @abstract gate is that apex dat mining takes about 20 minutes to complete. so if you find any spot in time you can come down. i suggested to someone else to do it tomorrow at the end of the event. last 30-45 min, port down and mine the data. cause i know you guys have a lot to mine in g4. and you can't fly a ship down.
nova valley
yes
but. in fairness. i don't chase leaderboards. and i don't port up there. i just fly my ship up.
abstract gate
OK, so you have a spot somewhere, got 4, maybe 5 surveys out, you're preloaded, and they want you to mine data.
That smell? Check your shoes.
nova valley
hahahahahahaha.
that's what i'm saying though. preload and everything. its fine. really. the apex data event takes 20-25 min. so last 30 min tomorrow. port down and you can knock it ou if you wish. i also told someone else earlier, it's ONLY 5 trophies. so really, today is the throwaway. if you ere gonna miss a day of apex. today's the day. the payout is minimal.

I swear, they don't plan anything, there's a dartboard they randomly put things on, blindfold everyone in the room, and the person who doesn't get hit with a dart is pointed at the right wall until they find the dartboard and rip a post it off.
