I'm receiving 0 points for the mylicium mining event 2 resets and zilch
@tall bluff u were probably in the wrong system.

@abstract gate When we talk about dumpster fires, we're not being literal.
Just like when I wrote that, I wasn't being literal.
'
I'm not going to check my devices every hour on the hour because scopely is going to allow me to play musical chairs on nodes or attempt to kill ships in an overcrowded and laggy system.
But hey, if you wanna whitewash my fence, I got paint packs for sale.
hollow fossil
assuming you can get all 3 milestones each time
first one, i got 1, second, none, 3rd, all 3
faint locust
Can't complete 5 with this laggy POS. 1st to target ships...never attacked, multiple times. Yes, the latest update is installed. I give up...
abstract gate
@faint locust Exactly. When I stop playing and get on discord, something's pretty wrong.
faint locust
@abstract gate agreed
drifting briar
Lol no svannons in my alliance. First one I got one, got all 3 on the second and third
It does scale with ops though from what I can tell
abstract gate
@drifting briar Congratulations. Now count how many other people have had your positive experience.
When I get on discord to gripe, it means I think that griping is more productive than playing.
In this case, I think I'll call it about even.
nova valley
@drifting briar Congratulations. Now count how many other people have had your positive experience.
@abstract gate <shyly raises hand> i have

Great, there's 2 of you!

not trying to shill!!!! LOL before someone says it
lol but i've gotten all my points. i'm using discovery. and pvp'ing a lot too lol

@nova valley we all think it, we don't have to say it.
nova valley
enjoying it
drifting briar
Yeah I donāt know what to tell you about lag. Iām playing on cellular on my iPhone. Each system I was in was packed but I did finish building discovery today after I realized the bonus points
hollow fossil
the only gripe is burst event should not take all day to do, for the milestones, there is going to have to be some recalculating on if the milestones work on busy servers
just cause it works for 1 does NOT mean it works for all
abstract gate
You know... if theyāre gonna keep giving us more and more stupid crap to pour refined mats into... they need to make the refinery produce more of them. A LOT more...
lavish elk
Ok I will give a Positiv feedback, know wit the 15 min time and having a Discovery it is posible to reach 3 Milestones/h last 2 times i got all 3. But the Discovery is on Tier 1 to weak for the Hostiles max 21/23 are posible a bitmore power would be good, becorse i t redurce the less possible Hostile much more..
abstract gate
Yeah, the Disco is way weak...
The more they add, the less I wanna play. @abstract gate
nova valley

@lavish elk you're doing it right tho. at t3 i'm still hitting 23/25. you are scaled properly for your level. good job.
abstract gate
and the corollary, the more they add, the less I want to pay.
Exactly on both accounts
And for those of us who CANT pay but occasionally, we want to spend even less
Not to mention that the amount of required daily play only gets higher with each new one-trick pony they add.
Not all of us are independently wealthy with u limited time and funds to play with... ftp players may spend way less per capita, but no game can survive without them. And theyāre leaving (my server at least) in droves
@abstract gate Yup. Each speshul ship they add...
It would have been smarter to be able to have 'ship configurations' for swarms, for borg, for exchanges.... that way what you put into existing ships is of actual worth, instead of chasing pipe dreams.
When you have G4 ships and they introduce G3 ships...
fleet parcel
I think one of the other issues with the event is u need to span 5 hours of okay time just to finish? I know a lot of people hope on when they can bust out dailies and soon. Now you have to log every hour for 15 minutes over a 5 hour period to finish event?
abstract gate
"Should I upgrade my Kelvin, farm parts, or should I upgrade this thing so I can use it only for one thing. How do I use my time?"
I expect many people other than myself play games to escape that real world issue.
"Oh, I can't go do this, that burst event is coming in 30 minutes and I'll need to use my dock for that <insert speshul ship here>"
"But wait, dinner is in 15 minutes. Do I want to eat comfortably, or..."
@fleet parcel exactly.
Iāve hit all my events at the last one with 5 minutes left on the 15 minute timer. Events are pushing and only had 1 issue with trouble hitting hostiles. It was because the area was overloaded so I moved to a different system and it worked fine
"This goose is laying golden eggs! How should we cook it?"

@alpine snow i appreciate that man, but i'm not really. i produce a podcast. for free. and don't charge for it. and i don't get paid by scopely. i get meager in game items, like a discovery. lol yes. i got that 1 day after everyone else was able to. truth be told, i give my listeners more in giveaways than i've EVER received lol i do it for fun. but i also reserve the right to assess my opinion. YES lag is awful on the hostile one. the mining one was good. but i very very much enjoy the FRESH take on the mechanics of this event. it's new. different not the same ole same ole of previous arcs.
spring hornet
Here's a new event..wait.its broken..we fixed it..its still broken..but play it anyway
unique lodge
They need to randomize which one everyone gets, and which systems, so not every is crowding each system and lagging the game out
abstract gate
@nova valley well, we reserve the right to assess your opinion too, so we do. All's fair. I respect what you do out of enjoyment, but it should be apparent some of us have gripes and maybe, just maybe, we look at people who sell Koolaid and see Tom Jones.
unique lodge

@nova valley well, we're trying to make some points in here, and it seems you're diluting them.

@spring hornet broken? i was one of the player that hav to restart the game to see change in Events, but after the patch, it is fixed and i got information for nev event, and the Event Logo Changed in a Golden one for that burst time..

@dense lantern His arms wide open, the event lagged, the system sprung.

@nova valley well, we're trying to make some points in here, and it seems you're diluting them.
@abstract gate the points all come back to lag. and yes. for the umpteenth time, lag is awful. but the mechanics are not difficult.
if you lack understanding, then that's on you. but the events are clearly spelled out. systems listed. warnings up. (warnings up now by the way)
use the tools. go and be successful.
dense lantern
Just make ethe events longer , and put out a š©ing big announcement on GC
abstract gate
@nova valley Listen, please. For a moment. As a long time writer, I can appreciate your persistence of view.
But we have legitimate issues we're trying to express, and while it works for you because sunshine comes out of some nether region, we don't care too awful much because we do not feel our issues are being addressed.
Now THERE is a podcast.
dense lantern
Still not getting warnings
abstract gate
@nova valley I'm not into podcasts. Honestly, don't take this personally, I think they're annoying. I prefer reading. I don't feel compelled to listen to people when I can read faster than they can talk.
I also hate powerpoints, where people read the screen to me.
dense lantern
@nova valley you're in very much an 'I'm alright jack so screw the rest of you mood'.
abstract gate
But back to the events. They suck.
@dense lantern His podcast wide open...
Ahh. Block. Nailed it.
nova valley
i think my larger point is, if some players are successfully completing them, then there's no reason everyone can't do it
dense lantern
Darmok and Discovery, in game, being screwed by scopley.
abstract gate
Darmok, his wallet wide open, his credit card askew

@nova valley thats terrible logic.

@spring hornet Armadas themselves are a great way to get people to do nothing for 15 minutes and PAY for it.

These anomaly events would work a lot better if your ship actually attacked hostiles instead of sitting there for 10 seconds. Server completely incapable of handling the load. š

@earnest hornet if you're paying attention... the criticism is also on this 15 minute stuff as well. As it is, you're just coming across as patronizing when you don't have all the gripes lined up.

I mean, when I throw up a shield and just start typing in discord, it means something is wrong. I've played through some awful crap and shrugged my shoulders.
This, this is a special event.
spring hornet
pseudo rover
The approach of the event tie-in with the Discovery is one taken with community feedback in mind. Past ship-introductions introduced new loops to the game where you are encouraged to repeat them in a regular fashion. Franklin regularly killing Swarm. Botany Bay regularly mining Data. Vi'Dar regularly grinding borg.
It's a lot and at times, feels like a chore and they don't want to add onto your routine to any extreme.
So you'll be using the Discovery in a different fashion, with these new types of events and yeah, it's no fluid launch for sure but it has been done with good intents.
That said, the Discovery will not just be for events. It potentially will be able to affect every aspect of your game in a sense and as such, it will stay relevant.
tulip frost
Some.. ran into T5 in my server
earnest hornet
@earnest hornet if you're paying attention... the criticism is also on this 15 minute stuff as well. As it is, you're just coming across as patronizing when you don't have all the gripes lined up.
@abstract gate I know the gripes, you know itās going to happen at a specific time, so have a ship ready, or have a couple ships. The numbers of people will drop off through the day, Cos people will finish the event, so if itās busy, wait till later.
nova valley
@earnest hornet if you're paying attention... the criticism is also on this 15 minute stuff as well. As it is, you're just coming across as patronizing when you don't have all the gripes lined up.
@abstract gate it was 7 min. now it's 15. and the milestones reduced by half, and the points doubled. how much more do you really need to have? and i'm asking 100% seriously.

I am having server issues during mini events. I was disconnected this time and havenāt been able to restart, keeps loading although other internet apps are working normally
neat musk
got to event system to find lag so bad and game crashed twice really good coding and sound testing gone in to this event
alpine snow
@nova valley I have yet to see the 3 min warning pop up by itself, I have to reset every time. There is definitely lag issues and still not enough hostiles. Those are legitimate complaints people have and they are affecting their ability to complete the event. Just because I have been able to complete the events so far, there are many here and in my server who have not. Not due to them understanding how it works or anything other than a bugged event without enough stuff to hit. Its fair criticism and shouldn't be brushed aside.
pseudo rover
The crew on the USS Discovery in the television series also didn't immediately know all the potential tricks their new discovery (pun intended) had left to reveal. It took a good few episodes to figure that out. š

@pseudo rover cute, but scopley has had these events before with limited hostiles to hit and lag and bugs have been a problem then too. They didnt learn

@earnest hornet No, I'm not complaining I can't do it, so how about you stop engaging me? My gripe is the entire thing. So quit poorly summarizing what I have been writing for half an hour, stfu, and leave me alone?
low idol
@nova valley just some feedback. The Lag for hitting hostiles is horrible, so many people trying to do it at the same time. Took me 5 to 7 tries just to start the hostile attack. Itās like when we started the Franklin missions. Too many people and not enough places to complete events. Not saying it should be easy, but game lag should not be a part of this.
nova valley
@abstract gate and of course, the final say so as to whether or not to like it si up to you. but you have a simple solution. if you dont like it, don't participate in it. it's super easy. it's meant for fun.

@pseudo rover
How do they think adding a event that requires you to be on 5 times a day isnt adding to our routine in a extreme way ? thats 5 hours of the day at least were been required to be online
If they want me to mine 16k spores or score 10125 points from hostiles give me that in 1 event to do when its convenient throughout the day it will take me no more than 30 minutes and save me 285 minutes on the extreme routine theyve implemented

@pseudo rover It's invasive, which is one of the points a few of us have been making pretty consistently.

because there are not enough hostiles
neat musk
the event might be better received if when you get to the system you dont have to sit there looking at a screen that does not move for 30-40secs and when you actually get to click on a hostile you dont get an error message because it was killed 20 seconds before, event is a Epic Fail
limber tide
Evan with the update I had to re-boot multiple time to get it to prop, having to target ship multiple times to get an attack to prop equals an unfun event.
alpine snow
I'll post this again since it was well received:
How about an event where once you enter a system you get 15 mins before you die of radiation poisoning. that way you could start at any time and check to see if a system was busy.

Constantly crashes, More than 20 minutes trying to get back in, justo to crash immediately again
alpine snow
Something like that keeps the burst idea, but stretches out the amount of people doing it at the same time. Reduces lag and makes more hostiles available
tulip frost
More systems or more hostiles
abstract gate
@alpine snow The burst idea is flawed. It assumes people don't have lives. š¤£
tulip frost
Or both

It can work if the burst is on your schedule

everyone of the spore systems should proc the event. the systems just get overloaded

@alpine snow That's something worth negotiating with, but some people play in blocks to get specific things done so that they can maybe advance in a few years.

Worse then the first time for the event wtf scopely . Too many players crammed into only 5 systems at a time . What were you thinking. The only ones I can seem to get points for are mining . To many players and not enough hostiles for the hostile event .

Your Anomaly event really sucked for me!!! I had updated bluestacks and the game ...

Very very disapointing event! Major Lag, not enough systems to even remotely make sense of trying to fight hostiles with minimal sense. Very poor quality plan and execution!

scopely did not figure that out??? They delayed the start because it was not working right !!!! When that many people rush one screen at the same time trying to do the same thing it overloads the servers!!!! On an up note, I got all of my faction killing done as all seemed to be in the event!!!!

Did you guys test this event on a low populated server (5 active players)? There are at least 5 players at one spawn plus the lag at those systems. It's impossible to hit a valid target.

you canāt target, you have to hit the same hostile 6/7/8 times. You know your servers cant handle too many ships in a system yet you do this anyway

vestal axle
New word to be submitted to Oxford/Cambridge/Webster's Dictionaries:
scopely (n) - a friendly fire incident caused by a server lag
scoplied (v) - to be hit and destroyed in a friendly fire incident due to server lag
Sorry to joke around, but this 'fixed' event is a nightmare because of the lag. I've seen people hit by accident, watched my ship take fifteen seconds to hit and destroy a hostile, or even to not hit and destroy a hostile as someone else got their first, but the lag didn't show that.
Clearly one server wasn't enough to see that the event is useable
main gazelle
Pull the event until you can get it to work. Frustrating af
shrewd totem
Prob server they tested had low pop and that might be why they didn't have lag issues
Or they had lag but Scopely still launched event for the rest
I am just GUESSING
flat kayak
If there are more āfunnyā events like that, I think about spending more time in real life. A game should be for fun, relaxing, interesting events and so on. After over 1,5 year, scopely is not able to run a game, that works properly. Always bringing in new āfeaturesā. What about fixing the basics? What about running a stable game, before bringing in more cash options for the super early adopters?

Panic can't fix the event, so that's effectively a DDoS... don't do that.
shrewd totem
IMO there is a few ways to reduce lag
- Increase system amount to 10
- Increase node sizes by 2-3x
- Increase the number of 23 systems and decrease 28s because unless you bought a ton of packs,you cant reach 28s anyway
abstract gate
At this point, I'm not sure they can fix the event at all. I'm betting the storyline and 'special ability' of the ship are tied to the event structure which has obviously stressed their infrastructure to the point where we notice and say nice things like, "This event sucks".
I get that, I do, but someone needs to get out in front of this and needs to address it publicly, because right now it seems like we're... spitting... in the wind.
heavy cradle
to be fair, you should now start to see things level off a bit, since the first wave of folks are starting to finish the event.
shrewd totem
Not really
abstract gate
@heavy cradle To be fair, to wait to do that is not fair. Poor event design.
heavy cradle
granted, there is going to be an uptick in people doing the event because a) how to manage the event is more well known and b) folks on the east coast are getting home from work.
shrewd totem
If you are in an active server,nothing will change
heavy cradle
@abstract gate - agreed, bad design is bad design. This is definitely overcomplicated to me.
shrewd totem
Yes some will finish soon but remember more is waking up at the same time and trying to do this
abstract gate
@heavy cradle Well, would you stay up late to do it? Or maybe not spend time with the kids? Or not get some work done? Or... I mean, the list goes on. People don't eat, sleep and dream STFC. This is supposed to be a diversion from real life, not a replacement for it.

All of the new systems should be used for this event not a select few. This will spread people out a bit and hopefully reduce lag

@abstract gate We've got faction hunt today that for most players will take 10 times as long to do as completing the anomaly events. This may be a valid complaint, but it is nothing specific to this arc.

@waxen sedge Which is actually my larger point, thank you.

So every event should be so bland and simple that every person can complete it every time with minimal casual effort?

shrewd totem
@waxen sedge did you had lag issues in s41 yesterday when they were testing?
abstract gate
@heavy cradle If it gives someone an advantage in a PvP game, you get schedule bias, and your server becomes biased toward that schedule if you don't plan it right.
I mean, there is schedule bias, but when it swings too far, it's not healthy.
heavy cradle
@abstract gate - some folks Amex Black Platinum card gives 1000x more advantage in this "not really a pvp game" than anything in the event structure.

i completed all three faction events no problem manage to look at a frozen screen for 10 mins for each anomaly event big problem

granted that 90% of the event structure caters to paid players, specifically anything with "leaderboard" in the name

@heavy cradle yeah, well, that's no secret. It is Pay to win after all. But you know, most of those folks that are severely P2W are rarely on to play it seems.
waxen sedge
@waxen sedge did you had lag issues in s41 yesterday when they were testing?
@shrewd totem Not significant, no. I didnt do them all day though, just enough to finish the solo milestone. Today hasn't been bad either. There's the typical lag when clicking and attacking hostiles, but nothing abnormal. I play at home on wifi almost exclusively though so I might not be the typical player. Every time someone has tried to camp the same spawn as me I get the kill, so I may have less lag/latency to the server than some.
shrewd totem
And server population?
worn vortex
and how many players was in the active eventsektor ??
waxen sedge
No idea @shrewd totem . If theres a way to tell i could get that.

how many on the test server 5?

I am not a Scopely apologist by any means, but at some point people's individual devices and internet connections/data connections play a role as well.

lol so far its been ntb for me but enjoying the shitflinging
abstract gate
@waxen sedge That's true. Yet. It's unlikely so many would be having the problem.
shrewd totem
Yes it does of course but Scopely servers are a part of the problem as well. For example during Yarda changes we had exact same thing. Servers cant handle constant clicks that much
hallow ember
but at some point people's individual devices and internet connections/data connections play a role as well.
@waxen sedge I dont disagree, but the same device that performs at x level every day and then stops for a specifc event points to a non-device issue
peak stream
you can see that other people have lag on busy servers, because everyone stops and starts 3 or 4 times going for a hostile
it's not individual devices/connections
waxen sedge
I wish I had taken some screenshots of the systems yesterday to give an idea of how active we are. I can do that today for comparison. I presume we are probably not the most active server in the group, but hopefully enough that we were picked yesterday intentionally to give the devs an idea how it would go in a typical case.
abstract gate
Since these events occur every 45 mins it would be nice to have a mini-timer right above or below the event tab.
@waxen sedge What other events were running at that time? and was it peak hours?

@abstract gate We had everything else servers had yesterday, just with the addition of the anomalies and the solo milestone. I try to stay connected and read announcements and such so I knew we were getting them at reset as did my alliance, maybe we had an advantage and it got worse throughout the day as others caught on.
abstract gate
@peak stream I tend to agree.
@waxen sedge That's odd then. I hear what you're saying, but clearly something is different today.
peak stream
and then you need to do it at minimum 5 times in a day

I am in a smallish alliance, so today I will have to do a lot more after my 15 points to make sure we complete the alb too, so I can see if it gets worse after work time and such.

getting behind enemy lines
I'd like to see something tied to the factions, rather than just "unknown aliens" for starters

you will turn in the "loot' for these for promotion badges.
so what would be your ideal event to show of the spore drives instant warp ability?
peak stream
I mean why do we need an event with the discovery
discovery is ~10 years before the plot of this game starts
nova schooner
because that is the ARC that is on right now
fresh bronze
So... for the Ops leveling event... I was already set to claim an Ops upgrade in this window, so I figured, why not? When I claimed, I got my 30K points for Ops 31>32... but it then raised my tiers on me, so instead of getting bottom tier at 30K, I'm short of bottom tier, which is now at 45K points. That doesn't sound right...
nova schooner
if we dont need an event for it, then why have it?
peak stream
I don't know, why do we have it?
nova schooner
i already expalined to you. the discovery will aid in obtaining promotion badges.
something that the community has complained about for 2 years
peak stream
why do we need the discovery to get badges?
nova schooner
becasue scopely is a business and cant just hand them out like one cent candy
peak stream
sure helps in that respect
nova schooner
talk about a small sample size
peak stream
the only way to get them are through chest pulls in garbage events
nova schooner
nova schooner
so you want a fundamental change to the game, it sounds. maybe you should license the star trek IP and pair up with some developers
peak stream
in order for people to get a single badge it takes 840 of those, which you have a small chance per chest of getting like 20
nova schooner
i hear there is a good market for competition for this game
peak stream
yeah Eve is doing a great job
obtuse shoal
I hear you making irrational responses to a valid complaint about mats to tier up the discovery.

but I mean, I don't think anyone asked for more rng

people have consistently asked for less rng, in respect to the refineries as well
what we got was a very poor set of events
nova schooner
max, they are used to score in the allinace MS event
lavish elk
mh maybe they can change spor engine from warp to impulseand make a space invader system, the task is to avoid the alien shot with the help of the burst drive and to survive. Points are awarded for the duration of survival, from entering the system to death. xD
so what would be your ideal event to show of the spore drives instant warp ability?
@nova schooner
peak stream
with a very low chance of providing badges
nova schooner
but the spore drive is warp, according to the IP
vagrant belfry
Thanks KtotheJ, I appreciate the response! š

@lavish elk didnt watch Discovery huh?

so know it make more sense xD google failes... i know spore engine is a warp alternativ, but u ask for other events with using black alert xD

I don't, I'm developer, if we released a product with this many bugs and this poor a response from users, we'd can our beta sites and probably fire marketing people
Scopely should have learned from all their previous failed arcs
and instead they keep releasing avoidable garbage

you keep coming back, and i bet your screentime is the same before borg came out

I don't know what that means
nova schooner
you keep playing the game. and im betting you still play (app "on" time) the same as before the borg arc came out
peak stream
much less, also I spend about 1/10th of what I did
pale cobalt
The concept is great I'm loving that what I don't like is the Spore/jump drive only jumps to the edge of the system and not where you actually want it to go, If it jumped to the cords selected and it was little bit stronger it would be a great ship for PvP just pop up in the middle of a battle fire a few shots then disappear again
lavish elk
I dont blame the event, and now it works fine, ist just the old Problem to much player for to less hosile xD so player like me have to play in the night wenn the other are sleeping xD And when they fix the old bugĀ“s like Phantom ships at spawn points, and adjust the rafinery i am happy
nova schooner
i think spending naturally tapers off, once you get a natural point. once you have your 34epic ship, and you are just stockpiling to upgrade it, i think the spend rate drops. they have all the data on that, and they are making decisions for the company for the future
peak stream
I don't have a 34 epic ship
nova schooner
TBH, i didnt spend until i had that. so im sure your 1/10 is on their radar, but not a huge impact
peak stream
well, I mean you are making a lot of assumptions about data
you just stated that my screen time was the same or more since borg, but it's less
so I'm not sure what your point is, other than you like to make assumptions

If you buy several packages, the output values are completely illogical. example if i get a value of 11 this value cannot be reached with any of the displayed output values. and between the 2 packets and the 3 packets rafinneri there is no difference in the distribution.
Furthermore, the values at the Discovery Refinery are too low, even if I always achieve the highest value with 6 packs, I need 2 events to get modules for the cheapest component.
ashen wharf
And laugh at you all asking scopely to be competent
@lavish elk it gets no better at all the refinery upgrading is majority a rip off
nova schooner
@lavish elk we dont know how we will continue to get the discovery refinery currency in the future, so its too soon to judge what you need. just let the arc rolll

Why it has no info

What about the issue with the Strengthen your Station?

One event run is interesting and fun. The number of solo milestones (15) itās waaay too much. If you do ~2 milestones, thatās 7 event runs, meaning 7h available in the game, plus near 2h of active playing. Way way way too much to put that with faction hunt
inland hamlet
Lol look at fm need they want longevity
inland hamlet
Or 15 x kill 1 hostile
nova schooner
@drowsy viper it takes 2-15min to complete each event, at 1 event at a standard time each hour (top of the hour), 5 events to get 15 milestones = 10min - 150min (2.5hrs) of game time, not 7hrs
inland hamlet
Yes grinds getting worse but such is life
drowsy viper
5 events is 5 hours
raw notch
so as far i can see lvls under 21 can not partticipate in the event :/
nova schooner
5 events is 5 hours
@drowsy viper each event is 15min MAX

nova schooner
"in the game"
nova schooner
right, and you dont need to be on "in the game" between events
peak stream
you need a 5-7 hour period where you can play
at minimum
that's too much, is what he and everyone but you is saying
nova schooner
did you do the event? you already said you did, so it wasnt too much for you!
peak stream
it was way too much
nova schooner
you gave scopely the affirmation that they wanted, you gave them the screentime
peak stream
that doesn't mean it wasn't too much

@peak stream only people all the time on the phone/computer wouldnāt have understood my comment

I hope I got it right

Yes
peak stream
on top of that for some alliances you need to spend more time to meet the alliance milestones
cool
reef kelp
to get the max points 2025, max 25 points 81 hostiles in 15 minutes. that one hostile every 11-12 seconds, not even possible with the lag and slow spawn time

Iām fine with a 2h long event I can play whenever I want
Iām not fine being 7 h glued to a phone for 15 min window each time
Faction hunt? Long but okay, you do when you want

Without Mining and the event the daylie taskĀ“s (Faktion, swarm, Borg, Eclips) alredy need 4 hours, then the eventĀ“s mostly 2-3 hours (depending on the event) so 7 hours every day...

This entire arc makes me cry. These burst events are not entertaining in the slightest
half magnet
@twilit imp - once alliance hits last tier and you have all your milestones. Is there a reason to keep doing hourly event? Will distortion rings have another purpose?
nova schooner
you can choose what events you do, nothing is impacted if you skip it. sometimes i tell my alliance im taking a 3 day break, no biggie
no need to cuss at me
reef kelp
what pos event, cannot even target hostiles
why are they continuing this
it is total crap
abstract gate
After they added systems itās been way better though
abstract gate
Is your server full?
reef kelp
yes
abstract gate
So is mine. Wonder what smaller servers are like
reef kelp
why would that matter?
abstract gate
If theyāre struggling as much, Iām just curious
peak stream
the server they tested on was smaller, and had some lag, but found it bearable
reef kelp
probably not, or they would be here complaining too
pale cobalt
I believe my server is in the mid range and it was laggy until they opened it up for more systems now it's perfectly stable
glass storm
this event has been so easy with the discovery. my alliance has been able to give me advance warning of where to go and what to do every time. been able to finish hostile one in about 5 minutes and muning one in 6. so easy i love it
abstract gate
Iām enjoying this event but can see the frustrations
drowsy viper
you can choose what events you do, nothing is impacted if you skip it. sometimes i tell my alliance im taking a 3 day break, no biggie
@nova schooner Iām sorry but youāre incorrect. Itās an alliance milestone event as well, so it generates discontent between the players who got the time to complete and the ones who donāt. I wouldnāt say anything if it was just a solo milestone
My actions and choices have a direct consequence with all my alliance
nova schooner
well, there is not list of participants, so no one will know
nova schooner
all good. its a great event
drowsy viper
all good. its a great event
@nova schooner for people without social life and tons of time to play, yes
nova schooner
i awknoleddge that there may be server lag, and that should be fixed. but the event is in line with expectation
reef kelp
in my server there are so many ships sitting on spawn spots, 3 or more per spot. and you have to tap on a hostile 5 or 10 times before it locks on,then take 5 seconds to attack and then battle last another 5 seconds.
abstract gate
This is the first real push for this event. Things should improve as kinks are found
reef kelp
so this event is not enjoyable at all, total garbage
abstract gate
They acted fast with adding more systems
nova schooner
i found it highly enjoyable. no issues for me
abstract gate
Huge help in my full server
peak stream
did anyone want events like this?
nova schooner
i do, its different
reef kelp
doesn't work

did anyone want events like this?
@peak stream Iām fine with a similar event that you have to participate 3-4 times. Not 7

total junk

you wanted this or a something different?

yes and other ships

I don't think you can upgrade warp on the discovery to hit the 28 systems without $$
nova schooner
jsut focus on the discovery. i was done in under 5 minutes each time
use cadet scotty
peak stream
then you die fast
abstract gate
You can use other ships to compensate too
nova schooner
and you have instant warp to get back fast!
nova schooner
^^business model!
reef kelp
yep, and as bad as this event is, they won't get any money from me for this junk
abstract gate
It happens at the same time every hour. Maybe reset app before to compensate?

too bad because Discovery is such a good trek, I was hoping the arc would live up to it

It should be different systems every 15 mins, all day. This is dumb having to try and kill stuff once an hr, to only get partially done cuz the lag and bugs are brutal.

you cannot compensate for an over crowded server
5 people waiting for one hostile to show up is not anything a reboot could fix
and when there are 5 or more waiting at each spawn spot, obviously there are not enough systems to do this crap event

What a Joke of an event. Iām donāt with this.
lavish elk
<@&509690795536941056> What do you think about this idea? Due to the fact that there is not enough hostile for everyone in the short time, how about the server dividing the players into 2 groups and performing a 2nd rotation of the two tasks.
Example:
Hour 1: group A collects spors, and group B shoots hostile.
Hour 2 Group A shoots Hostile, and Group B Collect Spores.
The division into the groups can either be random for each player, or divided between the alliances.
peak basalt
How bout this Mr Community Manager, get the event to actualy show up on the timer without having to reboot

@solid badger you get more materials at 32 than 31. Both from the refinery (though barely noticeable increase) as well as events.
@median slate 5 more per day is still a joke.

How bout this Mr Community Manager, get the event to actualy show up on the timer without having to reboot
@peak basalt it does for most people, double check you donāt have an update, but also you know itās gonna start on the top of the hour, just do a quick reset if itās honestly not showing up properly
peak basalt
Did have one, will see if it works shortly cheers
earnest hornet
Yup šš¼ that was the update they pushed out to fix the reset issue, there can still be a tiny bit of lag, but if you do the event during the time, it will still count the points.

Um he didnāt, you said they didnāt post, and he posted it šš

Not trying to be a jerk but most people see events donāt read and go hit hostiles in the wrong system and complain itās not giving points when itās mining in a different system or vice versa
reef kelp
only 8 systems? what a bunch of crap, still 5 people around every spawn point
total crap of an event
proud solar
OK, was in correct system & killing hostiles, just like event said & for 15min my kills amounted to 0 point, WTF??? Please explain ššš
peak stream
they didn't really listen was @void ibex point regardless of the announcement. lag is still an issue for a lot of people, but the main thing people are complaining about is the event itself
proud solar
reef kelp
and hostile ships not spawning fast enough
covert forge
Scrapping the discovery
void ibex
My complaint is because this event has been, and remains unplayable on my server. While you are right about the announcement, this does not change the fundamental fact that the lag is so severe almost nobody can complete it here. But god forbid I offend the army of apologists here...
reef kelp
yes this event for only 15 minutes sux big time. total garbage
peak stream
if they were actually listening, they would have pulled it
earnest hornet
@proud solar the correct system for that one? Cos they change every time. Also reset game when your done if itās not showing then it should trigger the event points,
midnight parrot
your little fix worked with the mining aspect ... but not with the killing of hostiles deal!!!
reef kelp
same on my server Flox

Don't get me wrong. The event still sucked. Even for those of us able to complete it. @void ibex It takes 5 hours at a min. and only provides pathetic rewards. At least faction hunt has a good return of value for time.
peak basalt
And after game update I still don't see the event, A number 1 comes up and winner. click on it leads to nothing. reboot and wow there's the event. Nice work guys
peak stream
it's also full of other bugs like
earnest hornet
Then just do the mining ones, even if you get 1 milestone during the hostiles, and then 3 for the mining, you only need 15 accumulated milestones over the day to do your chaotic.
proud solar
I reset the phone just before, checked event tab, saw I had ships in that system & began killing, as instructed & no result
reef kelp
even with 2 ships killing hostiles and sitting on spawn spot, could not get more than 1 point
this is total garbage
proud solar
@earnest hornet āļø

but maybe the weather is also responsible. but whatever it is. Bottleneck is bottle neck
now it runs Good.. without 10 seconds monster lag! because the ping was over 20000 and the game sometimes responded with a delay of 10-20 seconds ! I hope somebody finally finds that bottle neck and makes much people laugh because they have fun

Lol š itās day time for me here in NZ š1:45 pm
unreal arch
So it seems that every 60 mins the event can be either mining or hostile killing, but not both. And this is indicated in the info when they release the active systems at the start of the 15mins. This means that if you havenāt paid to build the discovery you wonāt get to a nominated system in time to kill enough hostiles. Just another way scopely are trying to force players to pay to play!

Can anyone confirm if you get points retrospectively for ops levels for the Station event?
For example, I'm currently 31. Event says
31=15k points
32=30k points
Second milestone is 45k points.
Will I get second milestone if I go from 31->32?
@unreal arch if you finished all milestones every day, you could have built the discovery for free by now. I am F2P and built the discovery yesterday
proud solar
So I submitted a ticket... Anybody else find same?
unreal arch
Hey Shiftdog. I have got all the milestones and the discovery is currently being built. I have no speed ups or latinum to finish it before the event finishes. I began building the second I got the last of the blue prints. So yeah I would be forced to buy speed ups or latinum to complete it ahead of schedule. Or are scopely making assumptions that everyone has shitloads of latinum and speed ups?
So basically they have managed it so that in order to complete this event you have no choice but to rush the 3 day build time!
Yeah Scaley I submitted one too.
earnest hornet
@unreal arch just wait to finish building it till tomorrow for the Black Alert event and get points for that
And how do you not have many speed ups do some of your dailies or use your lat for the speed up
proud solar
Had miners in system this time..
Game crashed on the dot, 4min later after I finally log back in... All nodes taken.... I'm rating this an epic fail if points don't count & game crashes preventing gameplay

Same same & even less joy

The mining ones are easy @proud solar only need to mine 3200, thatās 4 nodes worth, and can be mined with a horizon in about 6-8 minutes
Then just check a system and see what the others are doing, you can easily tell if they are mining or not

@earnest hornet Thanks, I have been continuing to contribute, just wanted to ensure I wasnt wasting my time

Yup totally agree, I feel that itās not so much the event that is peoples issue, itās really that lag that is happening, and that takes away from the enjoyment of the actual event which then leaves a bit of a bad taste towards the event,

The rings should be tokens!
maiden quartz
Sooooo .... Let me get this straight, to complete the alliance milestone you need an alliance of over 30 active players who manage to log on at least five times at the right time to complete one of those anomaly thingy ? That's 15 points per player, that's 450 for the alliance... You can't have an alliance with, says, 20 people putting in some extra work to finish the last milestone ?
I've just been told in game that the rings/tokens/anomaly points gained after completing the solo milestone don't count, is it true ?
shrewd totem
No they do
You can have 20 players and still complete alliance event,just need to do more events

Thanks @shrewd totem !

Systems waaaay to laaaaaagy... Unplayable
abstract gate
Yeah, the hostile hunt part was unplayable. This shoehorned event is still a massive fail
proud solar
Scored in th 8 am&10 am & 7pm & 10pm every single hour not mentioned in between those hrs... Unplayable, constant crashing(only during event) ghost ships that cannot be targeted.... Ships you can target but, last sec flash "target lost" or "invalid ship location" & disappear... Clearing entire screen laaaaaaaaaaging & everybody getting their diso means all nodes taken before you "jump"............ Not to mention one 15 min run that showed only 2 of my 20 something kills (where I actually saw ship go bang..... )Logs showed only 2 cluster farce that just infuriated beyond forgiveness, bitter & twistedš¤¦āāļø

Unplayable its a mobile game if you dont have a good signal ot lags out crashes etc.

This event has actually got me posting. It's so poorly designed. 15 minutes at the start of every hour just makes it impossible to actually do it given the mad rush to get to the systems in question. Having the same amount of event, but in 45 minute chunks every 3 hours would give better bang for your buck. And make unless stressful on the players.
devout holly
im fine with every hour, at least i know its coming and increasing the number of level 23 systems in the event made the event possible

Have i missed something? Alliance milestone event is 450 points... you only score 1 point per milestone.. thats5 solo milestones and only 5 points per player per day?
candid edge
15 points per player per day
dapper drum
yeah so 30 players can finish it
candid edge
Get 2-3 points max per hourly event
dapper drum
most alliances finished 12 hours in or less
candid edge
Do the equivalent of 3 pts, but only 2 pts gets recorded at times.
dapper drum
maybe you skipped a distortion ring
I collect them as soon as it says winner so I can see time remaining
or you didn't collect your 3rd and jumped to events before it registered due to lag
candid edge
I collected it as soon too. and this is 2x after clearing localisation.
pastel flower
30x5 is 150 points not 450
dapper drum
you might have to buy the prime events pack
candid edge
In fact i went off game for a few hours for foods, came back much later and still 2pts.
dapper drum
@pastel flower no 30x15 is 450
each player can get 15 milestones before finishing chaotic solo
and can still earn them after for alliance milestone if they want
3 per burst event
you have 24 burst per day
thats 76 possible milestones per player
pastel flower
That just isnt clear from in game description ...
dapper drum
each burst gives you 3 which is clear
it shows 3 milestones
solo has nothing to do with alliance MS either
you can finish solo in 5 bursts
pastel flower
Oh well... too late now
204 points in ours so far
Looks to me like theyve changed what they usually call a milestone to something else then... i see 5 tiers in solo milestone event... nowhere does it say how many points constitute a milestone..nor ,unlike any other previous milestone event, does it say you can still score for alliance by doing more milestones?
devout holly
@pastel flower its clear in the alliance MS, score in Anom. Phenomena Complete 1 milestone 1 point, when the 15 min event starts there are 3 milestones =3 points for alliance
pastel flower
Must be we all understood the description wrong then... all 30 or 40 of us
pastel flower
It does when they change descriptions of scoring markers
We havnt hit first alluance milestone tier
devout holly
it went quick after we hit first tier
pastel flower
210 points
devout holly
that first tier didn't seem like it was ever going to happen lol
nova valley
just like CoW or Apex, he first tier was set high to give all allince members a chance to score a point. once the alliance hits the first tier, anyone who hasn't scored a point loses out on the prizes for the first tier. just like always. so the first milestone is set higher to give everyone a chance to get a point.
after that, they fall like dominoes
static wigeon
@nova valley it's confirmed for this event that you have to score before first alliance MS?
I saw mention that it backdated
earnest hornet
I thought that cos this event didnāt mention about needing to get the points before tier, weād still get the rewards? Like we had a alliance milestone event a couple weeks ago, and the milestones were done but once I got a point I got the rewards?
nova valley
ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh that may be true? i didn't know that if it was. i assumed it was a standard thing. you can't get prized if you don't have a point. maybe this is diff?
my bad if so. i assumed that was SoP
earnest hornet
Yea my alliance, all the EU member we have finished the milestones before NZ woke up, I thought crap I wonāt get the rewards, I did a point, and got them all, but that wasnāt the anomalyās, but Iāll test it.
nova valley
that's actually awesome.
static wigeon
I think they'd be in deep doo doo if they failed to mention it.. š
earnest hornet
Im not sure, Iāll test it after event reset, I will wait till later in the day before I start my anomalyās
And see if I still get the alliance rewards,
Because normally they say in the event you have to score before a milestone to get the rest, but on ones they donāt in the past weāve gotten it anyway, at least thatās what I remember.
