lol doubled down on the garbage pvp events by tripling garbage pvp events - then went and decided since a large portion of players despise burst events to make them an integral portion in arc😂 gj 👍 these events designed by VC consultant lol

For what? He's attacking bosses.
On server 46, which started around Outlaws 2, that score of his doesn't even get him 3rd place.
tender geyser
No No No. here it is folks... on server 31, my server there is NOBODY on the leaderboard of 75 players above level 20!!! Okay!!??? I just checked the whole damn list !!!!
This HVC dude has it RIGGED!!!
abstract gate
For players who dont have a big ship to kill those 26 bosses, they use burning to increasing damage, scoring more points for damage dealt
tender geyser
Do you see anywhere that the event is restricted to only lvl 20 players and below?
ashen wharf
Tap the bar on your rank
abstract gate
Ranks are split by ops level so level 20 players are group together
ashen wharf
And check the players you are ranking with
abstract gate
And u wont see the lb on other level players
ashen wharf
abstract gate
Thats sound right u dont want to compete with someone who has a Saladin
tender geyser
Even if we’re grouped, why is HVC so much farther ahead when we’re all 20 and we have all tried burn on Sep Boss
That’s the point
abstract gate
It is all down to how many time, rss and repair speedups you use, if u run 3 ships non stop for 3 hours you can catch him
astral forum
Any idea where to find invader?
tender geyser
Yeah, Jason and I were doing that today and his score always went up easy faster than ours
abstract gate
Probably down to ship strength and officer level
tender geyser
All of us running 330-350ish NS. There isn’t that much diff between NorthStars or between 320-350 ish Kehra and similar crews
abstract gate
NS does bugger all damage
cyan umbra
What is going on with this event? Those level 23 elite separatists our only scoring 14400 points. You're asking for 5.25 mil just to get to the first milestone. That means I have to take out more than 364 ships just to get there. I'm a level 26 I don't have ships powerful enough for the elite bosses. What's the deal scopely? There's no way I can even complete the whole damn event in one day. Maybe three providing I don't do anything else in my life!!
@untold mortar Same. I COULD grind over 1k lvl 22 hostiles (with systems that are flooded with players, so good luck even if I wanted to waste my life). I could also burn probably 12hr per tier on speedups to get enough damage in with my Mayflower or Saladin.
lilac lion
Zoidberg, hit the locate button
abstract gate
Ns only has a single energy weapons thats why
tender geyser
That event I finished in 20 mins doing my daily lvl 16 swarms. There is def a problem with events
inland hamlet
@cyan umbra slap arix Nero kumak on an envoy suicide on boss multiple times.
Or
Use morale crew on legionary v fed bossrs explorers
Or
Pike moreau Chen v same bosses.
Aim is not to win just do as much damage as possible
@astral forum press locate send to system kill random npc
cyan umbra
@inland hamlet No Pike, but the hostiles crew with Chen gets mileage. More damage with burning on the Saladin, but didn't consider an Envoy. Does Envoy actually proc enough damage though?
inland hamlet
For separatist is points per damage.. Shield damage or Hull damage.
ashen wharf
We literally explained this in the other chat
inland hamlet
A fortunate can get 200k minimum
ashen wharf
...
inland hamlet
Because 1% of 5m is 50k
So with burning you are getting 50k per round plus weapon damage
But if using pike moreau Chen on a vahk or kumi v fed explorer types you are limiting boss damage and increasing your mitigation.
So can easily do 100 rounds of weapon damage.
After 100 rounds you lose but ship is still alive as you didn't kill each other
So then recharge shield hit another boss. Probably die this time.
But total cumulative damage for 1 run is very high
It's just about lasting as long as possible to do as much damage as possible.
Your reward is not the kill but event milestonrs
cyan umbra
Right, and that makes total sense. Envoy I only got 4 rounds out of, and not a ton of damage (obviously) for points. Vahklas did considerably more on both fronts (around 2.2m in points, which is great) but i'm back on 2.5hr in repairs. If I could get 1 tier of points per death it wouldn't be as bad since I could at least get the event done in a day, but as is i've got ~25 repairs, which at ~2.5hr each comes out to move hours than i have in two days.
ashen wharf
You shouldnt be caring about dying
And you should have alot of stockpiled repairs
From doing dailies
inland hamlet
Yes I've rushed basicly from 20 to lvl 29 my research sucks I've no lvl 26 ships but have bortas and Sally built and fed and klingon faction miner bp, my research does suck.
But will be at ops 29 for 4months minimum
cyan umbra
lol ok, i'll just piss away 50hr worth of repair speedups. that's TOTALLY sustainable.
ashen wharf
Show the points the need
inland hamlet
@ashen wharf lol when you die to a hostile you lose 0 of what you gained.
Data mining fill cargo, instead flying home suicide on red hostile instant home with full loot
Borg probes and swarm kill till it kills you 0 lossrs
inland hamlet
Ops 29 is 55.2m
ashen wharf
We all had to use two or more ships to do separatists bosses its not that big of a deal
cyan umbra
ashen wharf
If you fully kill one you get 10 million points
cyan umbra
that's with three Saladin runs, a Mayflower, an Envoy and a Vahlkas
ashen wharf
So 5 kills and you are done
inland hamlet
Yes it's a pain if you are low on repair speedups. I keep stock of 500x 30min
pale cobalt
With the right crew the bosses aren't that tough
ashen wharf
^
Even a weak saladin should be one shotting them
You are doing something real wrong
cyan umbra
uhura/moreau/t'laan, then uhura/moreau/chen (wasn't sure on energy/kinetic), then burning
weak would be the operative word, it's only 420k all in
inland hamlet
@cyan umbra your Sally must suck like mine,
I just did 11 runs with kumi
ashen wharf
Thats not that bad
Are you hitting in klingon?
For ship advantage?
Or wait what is kling
cyan umbra
yup. 24 rounds with the chen hostile crew, got about 20% hull off
north wraith
Don't hit Klingon space for Separatist unless you have a solid Explorer. Or if you use Pike-Mureau-Tlaan with a 700k + Saladin
ashen wharf
Is nvm rom lol
inland hamlet
Fed explorer types are easiest as they only have energy weapons so using Chen with either pike moreau, or Chen with spock kirk
ashen wharf
You should try hitting the rom ones
inland hamlet
Captains being pike or kirk
cyan umbra
yeah it was Rom. didn't check the space, just advantage
ashen wharf
If that doesnt work try kirk spock
north wraith
Klingon space Separatist is Interceptor, use Tlaan. The other 2 (Rom-Fed) you should be fine with Chen
inland hamlet
Nope fed explorer in paralepn
ashen wharf
Chen
inland hamlet
Rom have kinetics, klingons have kinetics, but feds are only rnergy
Doesn't matter what your ship its crew that's important
Even with red arrow. Sally v fed explorer bossrs using kirk, spock Chen or pike moreau Chen.
Pike moreau Chen is best
ashen wharf
Yeah but not everyone has pike why im not mentioning him
inland hamlet
Both beat burning hands down
cyan umbra
exactly my case Ichibe
north wraith
Cadet Uhura, Cadet McCoy, Chen variant then
inland hamlet
But you have kirk spock and chen
cyan umbra
yes
cyan umbra
still using the Saladin? i've got a Mayflower around 100k bigger
ashen wharf
Mayflower ability is for klingon ships its useless
cyan umbra
so is the Saladin ability since i'm attacking 🙂
ashen wharf
Your saladin should be your main priority
north wraith
Saladin has higher DPR
cyan umbra
👍
north wraith
I'm gonna test my 730k D3 with the Kirk Spock Chen on Paraleon
inland hamlet
Saladin has 1 big gun that always fires first. Then every 3 rounds
inland hamlet
Morale kirk and spock keep you alive, while Chen reduces enemy weapon damage
inland hamlet
Basicly your saladin is you main ship till you get an enterprise
north wraith
You should be OK using a Saladin about the same strength than my D3
inland hamlet
Your crew is your power ships is just a vehicle
north wraith
Disclaimer, Spock regens 400% and Kirk chance to proc morale is 80%
So you should be trading 1 Boss for 3/4 Saladin hull I'd say
cyan umbra
that's a big disclaimer.. i'm at 50/60% respectively. also only lvl 10 Saladin
cyan umbra
nope. best i've got otherwise is the Mayflower, which arguably isn't better
north wraith
You have Khan?
cyan umbra
negative
north wraith
Decius?
cyan umbra
lvl 5
north wraith
Still useful
Ummm Gorkon-Kerla-Decius or Kirk-Spock-Decius on the Saladin
Try on both Federation and Romulan Boss, see which gives better result
In any case, you will be getting points for the milestones 🤷♂️
And the video Ichibe posted above, "Buddy System", try that one too
It was useful for me when I was doing Bosses in Ops 24
inland hamlet
cyan umbra
got 36 rounds and ~4.1m points out of the Saladin with kirk/spock/chen. probably down to 60% hull on the elite, still lost 100% of the Saladin
north wraith
But was it a better output than before?
cyan umbra
yeah i'd say so
inland hamlet
I only got 2.1mil above
north wraith
Then it's worth it
Use another ship, a cheaper one, like a Kumari, to reduce the shields before you hit the same Boss with the Saladin
inland hamlet
Yes pain is burn through speedups on this event same with pvp disco pain both together
Just glad it's only today
cyan umbra
it's "only today" today.. tomorrow is the new today!
north wraith
I did burn a lot of 5 and 15 minute repair speeds. Still have tons of 30 minute repair speeds
Do your daily redshirt missions!
inland hamlet
I grind a lot so have lots of repairs.
north wraith
They give repair speeds
north wraith
Dual faction is cool but push one at the time
inland hamlet
No need I kill roms, balance close to transitions so both pass at once, then back to killing just roms
Once both lock, can just kill feds to raise rom, hopefully be farming ent bps
inland hamlet
185k faction creds is a lot lol
north wraith
It is lol
inland hamlet
Gonna be mix farming, Armadas, and faction creds
Happy note am saving for rom faction miner and augur lol
north wraith
The G3 Epic blueprints only drop occasionally in Dark Space I believe, a couple in my fleet got a only handful there, the rest was earned through faction store and Armada chests
north wraith
In the Armada chests yes
north wraith
Otherwise with Rep lock you are good at Ops 32
north wraith
I'm Ops 31 locked for Klingon and I see the D4 available for purchase with credits
inland hamlet
Ent and augur ate respected, brell I could get now but 5k creds per 10 bp still 60k faction creds
Ent and augur are 185k each
north wraith
Yup, I had about 18k Klingon credits and used them to promote officers once I got the officer badges 🤷♂️
Same happened to my 15k federation credits
inland hamlet
I just hit 29 yesterday but research I have least 4 months worth
Am tempted to raise spock but 4500 creds sucks
north wraith
Yeah, don't rush your Ops level further, get the research level capped, I was 6 months in Ops 29 stuck until my research catch up
inland hamlet
Will get there just takes time as still building vidar
north wraith
Spock is a must to promote, don't delay it if you have what's required
inland hamlet
Am sticking at 29 only just got Sally today as rushed from 27 to 29 between arcs
north wraith
Nice, the improved BP rewards should be helpful
inland hamlet
Vahks t8 atm
north wraith
BP rewards helped me a lot for the research and ship upgrades
inland hamlet
Kumis t7 but it's adequate till bortas comes online
ashen wharf
bp rewards arent improved thats a lie
inland hamlet
Trying to lvl franklin and vidar to t6 atm
ashen wharf
lol
ashen wharf
they took all the rewards out of events and gave a tiny buff to bp rewards like 5% more
north wraith
My Bortas is T8, same for my Saladin, Kvort is T4, other 2 faction miners are T3
ashen wharf
so pretty much got robbed
inland hamlet
Am totally ftp
north wraith
Nothing won, nothing lost then 🤷♂️
inland hamlet
Got both faction miner bps done
So aside from a few officers, just saving creds now
north wraith
Good startegy
Officers are really important
I did the same
Anyway, I need some sleep lol
I'm out
Peace 🖖
inland hamlet
I skipped 26 ships will revisit them later to scrap for primers around ops 34 to 36
Kk
Sleep well just gonna do dailies then sleep
dreamy hearth
Hello all. So let me see if I got this right. Lvl 30 players 1) are the bottom of the lvl split so have to fight lvl 40’s in the new PvP event so good luck winning any, 2) can’t upgrade Discotech’s war range until ops 31 so 3) HAVE to use cadet Scotty JUST to get to the PvP systems and let’s not forget that the “call another ship to ya” research isn’t avail until what? Ops 33? So in conclusion if you just turned ops 30 (like me), you pretty much have no shot of completing the PvP event unless you throw Vemet on as captain (to get the to deaths / 2 points per repair) and sent you ship in what 30 times?!!
robust vapor
You can ask someone to help you out too, I helped out two people today (1 who helped me first after I fed Vemet ships all morning).
dreamy hearth
Thanks Scopely. You’re the best! 😉
That would be a great idea @robust vapor if it weren’t for the fact that the 2 or 3 top alliances on my server seem to be having tinkling contest and are camping the 3 systems for the PvP event and hitting anything that enters as soon as it enters. With lvl 30 being lowest rung or bottom of the hill guess what happens.
gloomy vine
There seems to be a problem for level 26/27 with the BattlePAss event, like you have to kill several hundred level 22 ships instead of a handful if you are lower or higher ranked and have higher or lower targets.
dreamy hearth
I just moved to ops 30 a few days ago. There no way I can even fast track all the building upgrades needed to move to 31. Even if I wanted to
robust vapor
Yeah, I had the same issue @dreamy hearth if you find s partner you can park in the system before and then co-ordinate arrival at an edge to mitigate. Not perfect, but it can help get it done.
gloomy vine
Like high ranks do about 10 level 26, lower ranks do about 10 level 22, middle of that do several hours of grind for the same rewards.
dreamy hearth
I’m more upset that I used speed ups to not wait a few more days on my move to 30. Didn’t think Scopely would make things THIS lopsided. It’s my fault really. I shouldn’t want to advance in the game. Oh well guess i’ll throw more resources down the drain repairing. Cuz spending resources doing this junk is REALLY gonna help me advance to ops 31. Again. Thank You Scopely for thinking this out.
I’m not even gonna bother opening a ticket to complain. Scopely knows full well what they are doing and would only give me their generic canned cookie cutter response and do nothing. I’m just venting here where someone might hear me.
Maybe they found there are too many level 30 players so they figure this will be a good way to solve that. Some will push to 31 and maybe (probably) have to spend money to do it. But I bet more will not participate in events and some may even quit.
tender geyser
I’ve been lvl 20 since last Thanksgiving. What’s the point of lvling up? I can go on you tube to see what ships looks like
fleet parcel
Hey do we know what the new flash event that starts tomorrow?
earnest hornet
Hey do we know what the new flash event that starts tomorrow?
@fleet parcel The information is in your New Centre in your Station,
real bluff
Flash events suck.
Unless they are going to give a notification before they start people will miss them. You can expect people to be at their phones 24hrs a day. People have lives when will you realise this and actually do things people want? Stop doing flash events
earnest hornet
the flash events have TIMES stated, so you KNOW when they are going to be here,
Have you actually read what they have posted in the New Centre in your station?? They have heard the feedback and made massive adjustments to the way some of the burst events are going to work, to make it simple for people who may not have alot of time, but also a viable option for those that have the time to grind thing out a bit more,
earnest hornet
read the bottom 2 lines of your last screenshot
real bluff
So I'm still meant to clock watch
And if like the anomalies im still going to have to reset before hand to know where to go and reset again at the start to score points
fleet parcel
So is flash event just the anomaly event?
earnest hornet
really i think about 100 years ago they invents a thing called an alarm clock, which people used when they want to be reminded of a time, it have been simplified alot by haveing been added to your phone or smart device.
if you WANT to be reminded to do an event, you have that option, if not thats fine,
There will be a video Coming out later today/tomorrow from Talking trek going through and explaining the events in a little more detail, that shal explain a bit better what needs to be done,
But they have reduced the required participation a lot
Unless you have the time and can do more.
That was also a reason why they changed the way battlepass events rewarded, to reduce the time people needed to have in game, to do the events but not lose out on the rewards
real bluff
Flash events have never worked properly. Unless you reset your game you have a 50/50 chance of them showing up with time to do them. The anomalies events even after they fixed them are still broken and didn't award points unless you restarted before you scored the points after it started. They also don't show up 3mins before its meant to start again unless you restarted multiple times. I posted it in here and got nothing back from mods or panic about it being looked into
earnest hornet
Hence the reason they adjusted the times for the different server regions, us at the top of the hour, and EU/apac at the Half past the hours to reduce that load,
real bluff
OK but you can't honesty say leaderboard flash events are a good thing
earnest hornet
Actually the opposite I’m looking forward to seeing how these go, they look interesting, and actually not too hard to do
ashen wharf
Imagine setting an alarm for a game during the work week
For every beginning of the hour
totally would look professional during a work meeting
earnest hornet
Explain your like Sheldon and have to have a scheduled toilet break every hour 😂😂😂
ashen wharf
Does everyone here live in a attic
And do nothing but play stfc using disabilty checks to buy packs
earnest hornet
Well of course, so don’t do it during a meeting, you don’t have to do every hour,
Heck some days I didn’t finish my anomaly event, did I moan and complain? No I just carried on and did what I could do.
I don’t suffer from FOMO
😂
For the battle of binary stars ALB you only need to hit 1 hostile to qualify for rewards from you alliance, yes more to help out your alliance if you can, but if you can’t that’s fine.
plucky ermine
Weren’t they supposed to make the event structure easier? 🙂
earnest hornet
Yes they did
plucky ermine
Well I still have not understood how it exactly works (new flash events) and where the most lucrative rewards are
earnest hornet
The other flash event is the Vulcan hello, and a rank on there is easy cos they have narrowed the ops level LB, so no matter what you are going to get the minimum point you need.
@plucky ermine DJ and Snakeeyes will be releasing a video sometime soon that will describe and explain how the events will work, so keep an eye out for that.
But at a basic look and read the info for the Vulcan hello it explains what you need to do.
plucky ermine
I understand what to do - what puzzles me are the 5d and 1d long aggregation events that track your medals
Why have two of these
earnest hornet
There are only 2x flash events, the Vulcan hello, and the Battle of the binary,
Those other two are just based on what you have earned during the 2 flash events
You get the medals from the flash events, the 2x 1 & 5 day, are the ones that give you the rewards
real bluff
I think we have found a hidden dev. Maybe the one who had the idea for these as well
earnest hornet
Me? Haha heck no, I’m certainly no dev.... this is my day job...
I change these tyres, thing is I have been off work the last 7 months cos I broke my leg and only just starting to get back into work,
errant oracle
In Scopely's message the event requirements were "reduced " how is grinding over 1200 separatists to get 55.12 million points (at 43k points earned per kill) less grinding? It's not like I can kill the separatist boss ships in less than 6 tries...
meager galleon
Work with alliance mates and pile into a boss
earnest hornet
You don’t need to kill the boss to get the points, go do a 22 then, but it’s based on damage done
Or just don’t do it, or do a couple tiers, with the change in how the events reward only BATTLEPASS points, you don’t have to do all the events, or even all the tiers
meager galleon
You get far more damage done usually
earnest hornet
As long as you do the ones you can to get all that you need to complete the BP
meager galleon
Was how the events used to be in their first runs, the bosses were only solo’d by the few and everyone else worked together to kill them
earnest hornet
Yup 👍🏼👌 loved those day, it was great team work days
viscid sinew
Lol, flash events are silly... Who wants to play the game on a schedule by the clock? It is a leisure time game...
Separatist Bosses are good targets for alliance teams ... once you kill its shields, any ship can get lots of points from the hull damage
Team up with a few of your mates
earnest hornet
As I said before if you scroll up, the change in these flash events mean you control how much effort you want to or can put into the flash events, where even just killing a couple will score you something, it obviously would reward those who can do more.
So make the time constraints a lot easier
And still benefit by getting the rewards
humble siren
Hey guys, I'm stuck at 'signal interrupted', I need to kill 1 klingon and I'm in a spore system. Tried killing a red there, tried killing a l33 Klingon in one of the new systems, but it doesn't seem to agree. What do I need to kill there?

Maybe, but I skip everything with the Disco flash event stuff and my life is better. What others do is up to them. I don't miss anything from not doing any of them, for my play

hit locate,doesnt it shows Obilient lvl17 system?

To a non-faction system, where there are no Klingon enemies to kill a klingon

Does the Mayflower bonus work with the Separatists because, after all, they are Klingon Separatists?
frozen abyss
I'm getting a lot of feedback from my group on the new Battle Pass event style, and here's the main complaint:
The new system of just giving points with the Battle Pass events instead of giving other rewards in them hurts those of us who complete all events every day for the extra rewards that we earn from the individual events. The increase in the actual Battle Pass rewards does not make up for all of these uncommon/rare materials that we are losing as a result of this change.
I have not kept records on what the rewards looked like on all previous battle pass events, but the faction credits and recruits/officer xp alone from the Faction Hunt events that were part of past arcs are now lost due to this new format.
and then the winning event from the vote was Faction Hunt, which we would normally expect to run 2-3 days, and it ran for a single day. Many who voted for that have complained about it running short, too.

@frozen abyss watch DJs video and share it with your alliance also, he explains it

I'm just so disappointed right now missed borg arc because I wasnt quite high enough. Would have been by the time the rogue arc happened but that was pitched higher so missed it as well. When discovery arc started I was so pleased to have an arc I could take part in. Then the chaotic space e events meant I had to try and arrange my life adding playing the game on the hour every hour, now at level 26 I can't touch the sepratists. I didn't pick romulans as my faction so don't have good burning. Ive watched rev deuces video and it doesn't help. Either I have to kill 850 elites a day with kumari or 500 bosses with envoy. Both are impossible. It's the final nail in the coffin ss far as I'm concerned. Time to return to 21st century planet Earth j think.

You have to do what I did waste speed up and possibly lat to complete the research you currently have running then do the disco warp research and speed that up as well for the PvP events if you don't want to use scotty
nova valley
@foggy kettle yeah, i had to use scotty too.... do your best and adapt! go kill those blues! lol
foggy kettle
Nope, the weakest ship on the event has to waste a bridge crew slot for scotty at level 30! That's dum and unfair, just set event level from 31+
storm cove
Does anyone know how players can earn disco bps if they missed out on the last battlepass?
pale cobalt
Special event store (possibly next arc) or in store for cash
tame inlet
Server 192.....lvl29 leaderboard...1 player...just stupid....

that's cause the ops banding is so tight lol
enjoy the free top tier rewards man! lol
get in there, get the free goo!

Oh...my lb has the most peeps including the bitcoin miners lol
And the banding is good....its the server population thats broken...
south arrow
@nova valley a question since you said the rewards are so great this arc when we get faction hunt during this arc will we get the standard rewards? If not the free battle pass is horrible
nova valley
if faction hunt is presented OUTSIDE ofthe battlepass, then of course, i would presume we would. but i don't know what the battlepass calendar looks like. all i know is that they said they redid most of those events to reduce the milestones. and seeing as faction hunt was one of the GRINDIEST battlepass events (requiring over 300 hostiles for many/most players) i'd say it was definitely one to be looked at when deciding how to reduce screentime demands.
south arrow
For all the last arcs it has been part of the arc I get 1600 faction credits per faction over 2 day so 9800 faction credits per event normally we have it 3 times per arc I don’t see nearly that many credits and as fir ultra recruit tokens if you do the math we get a fraction of those as well this is what we all see as scopleys attempt to lower the already poor rewards
Faction hunt is the only event worth the rewards
All scopley would have had to do was lower the required points
heavy cradle
so feedback - why have 30s in with 31-39 that can research the warp range increase for this pvp event? Let alone a 39 with research is going to decimate a 30, even with similar ships, but just 1 tier of the new research completely changes the game.
Maybe for future runs they can have a different system for 31-34 vs 35-39?
south arrow
But no this way the can give less rewards
tame inlet
@south arrow From what ive seen and read unless its awarding bp points it will still have rewards.So if say dom is running along side for bp points fac hunt rewards will be as usual.
halcyon patio
@south arrow also swarm rewards? khan/mara shards(tp) ??
south arrow
Faction hunt has always need part of every arc and yes so has swam
So we get screwed over and over
And I looked on my battle pass not one single faction credit in the free battle pass
nova valley
so that would indicate to me that faction hunt isn't gonna be considered part of the battle pass...... ?
so maybe it presents itself outside of battle pass.
too ealry to know.
south arrow
That would be a huge change from all other arcs can you confirm this ?
nova valley
no i can't. lol that's why i said too early to know lol
but i will inquire. see if they give me an answer.
tame inlet
Im almost certain fac hunt does not award bp points usually...it runs as a parallel event.
south arrow
So either it will be part of the arc ( and we get screwed over) or it won’t be and we will have even more events to do if we won’t get any of those events fir the next 24 days
Look in the free battle pass
nova valley
Im almost certain fac hunt does not award bp points usually...it runs as a parallel event.
@tame inlet it has awarded bp points in the past. but it's also run parallel a few times. so we'll just have to se.
south arrow
People didn’t have to pay for faction hunt
No it has always been part of every arc just like swarms
nova valley
So either it will be part of the arc ( and we get screwed over) or it won’t be and we will have even more events to do if we won’t get any of those events fir the next 24 days
@south arrow lotta if's in that statement lol why don't you sit back and relax and stop trying to predict the next 24 days worth of content lol
halcyon patio
we had faction hunt with bp points last arc
south arrow
I will but scopley keeps making things worse prime example is arc missions bosses
pale cobalt
Faction hunt has given battlepass points in every event arc going back to borg event arc's
nova valley
I will but scopley keeps making things worse prime example is arc missions bosses
@south arrow these were overwelmingly received. literally one of the highest approvals scopely has ever gotten, like 91% or something insane. lol
you may be in the 9%, but you are def the minority lol

I will be talking to u in a week after the first faction hunt 🤣

I will be talking to u in a week after the first faction hunt 🤣
@south arrow i hope its that you say "shew. over reacted, faction hunt is here and is still paying our rewards. sorry for panicking" instead of "afjdk;ajdkal;fjda;jfdajwauhvn23nkl;adf they took our rrewards!!!!" caus then i'll have to eat this plate of crow i've been saving.

SLOW CLAP Congrats on botching another event! Impossible to even click on something to kill there's so many people and so few spawns.
wet summit
Wow, Scopely. Just wow. You’ve always been a money grab but never has it been more blatant. No one can reach those systems fast enough without summons. That requires maxed research which requires spore parts which you have not given out enough. Only the big big whales can participate to get tokens to refine which gives spore parts. It’s a chicken and egg
carmine lily
They still haven’t learned not to force everyone into the same few systems. The level of incompetence is ever more staggering

Complete money grab, Scopely. BP points are only achievable by whales...so smaller players have to buy one of two things to compete: 1) BP point pack(s) or 2) speed up packs.
And Discovery 2 makes Discovery 1 look like a well-oiled machine.
Pathetic.

Good lord that was a bad burst event. They took everything bad about the last set and dialed it up to 11. Too many people in too few systems. Too few spawns. Literally spent the whole time. Chasing ghosts that had already died

Lag, low spawn rates, ghost ships. They managed to make the hourly events even worse
Great concept, horrible execution

I was able to attack one hostile in 11 minutes. But of course my disco died. Can't unlock Summon feature without buying spore drive components. Epic failure.

I believe the alliance events are split up every few hours but the flash event is every hour

okay. 20x 15min per day, adn 4x 15min per day for binary stars and vulcan hello

@quartz bronze new even flash are every top of the hour for 15 mins. If you want to get the goodies. You need to participate in a few of them. Systems are in klingon space. So far. Best strategy is to have your biggest ship stacked up and in system BEFORE THE TOP OF HOUR

This event needs to change. You are going to start a war with everyone. You should limit the scores somehow so we don't have 10 people on a node or many more spawn sites to do this or its going to get ugly.

1 spawn of hostiles is so slow that it alows such camping on spawns, and there only the quickest fingers win, some.

Thanks all. reading all feedback, especially on the difficulty.
There is a detailed in-game news that describes the changes we made to the flash events based on all your feedback.
The main changes are (TLDR;)
- You only need two gold medals or six bronze medals in order to get the full 6 milestones so that you don't have to participate in every flash event (to reduce the feeling like you always need to be available for them).
- Scheduling of events: Every flash day, the flash events that score for Bleak Times and Distinguished Service will start at the top of the hour (US Servers) or thirty minutes past the hour (EU and APAC Servers) and run for 15 minutes each. The flash events will run in a six hour cycle, with five runs of The Vulcan Hello followed by one run Battle of the Binary Stars. This six hours cycle will repeat throughout the day.
*One of main reasons we separated those times across the servers is to reduce the lag that has been reported previously and to manage the server load better.
We understand that those events can still be improved and appreciate all the comments here. This is now the 3rd iteration of these events and we will continue to adjust them based on your feedback (I hope you agree this is still better than the 1st version we released 🙂 ).
slim aurora
Hey <@&509691205798592532>
Please tell scopely
- stop with timed events
- stop with the 8 to 10 events per day
We do need down time so we can : work (money lets us buy packs), eat (so we can have energy to play), sleep (so we can stay awake to play), see a loved on (cause some of us have those).
All day events, especially every hour sucks.
And I come from #1 pve /event alliance on my server where we play a ton. Do more armadas than the next 5 alliances out together (#weAllHateArmadas)

All day events, especially every hour sucks.
And I come from #1 pve /event alliance on my server where we play a ton. Do more armadas than the next 5 alliances out together (#weAllHateArmadas)

Flash events only serve to condense the server population into 1 area, causing the very lag you seem to want to be trying to avoid,. It’s not more engaging or fun content to put a 15 minute intimer on things. That’s just trying to create false excitement by putting in a short timeframe

Not enough spawn points, spawn points right on top of an armada and even zooming in as far as I can, I was only able to target then hit 3 reds. I kept targeting the armada or other players 😠

@real bluff - missions and events are not mutually exclusive (also different teams!). That being said, we do hear you loud and clear. Flash events were a new thing we were trying and if we can't make it work for everyone's satisfaction then we will continue tweaking them and/or reducing/removing them altogether for future monthly updates.

@toxic urchin If you take the pov that the goal of the events is to receive the 120 refinery tokens for you daily discovery refine i have to agree - the new events easier to complete then the other burst events. I don't understand why you implemented a 5Day SLB which encourages players to place in the top 15 for each of those burst events. That's too much pressure buddy.

Okay just got out of a meetng and thought there was suppose to be a burst event at the top of the hour

There is, you need to restart your client probably

New thing for us (introduced last arc). Like I said, we wanted to try different type of events to keep things interesting and we keep iterating on them based on the feedback to try and make them better. Based on the comments here, looks like we are **not **succeeding in that so you can expect more changes for this in future arcs.
Again, thanks for the comments here - the events/live-ops team is always reading this Discord and takes this feedback to heart.

a leaderboard tied to flash events will, because of our natural competitive nature, make us play every hour. Regardless of the flash event itself being easier to complete

@potent tartan yup and flock to the systems that give the most points in the quickest way possible - it's human nature
So is it 7 Day shield or will there be anything done before the next botched event?
Thanks all. reading all feedback, especially on the difficulty.
There is a detailed in-game news that describes the changes we made to the flash events based on all your feedback.
The main changes are (TLDR;)
- You only need two gold medals or six bronze medals in order to get the full 6 milestones so that you don't have to participate in every flash event (to reduce the feeling like you always need to be available for them).
- Scheduling of events: Every flash day, the flash events that score for Bleak Times and Distinguished Service will start at the top of the hour (US Servers) or thirty minutes past the hour (EU and APAC Servers) and run for 15 minutes each. The flash events will run in a six hour cycle, with five runs of The Vulcan Hello followed by one run Battle of the Binary Stars. This six hours cycle will repeat throughout the day.
*One of main reasons we separated those times across the servers is to reduce the lag that has been reported previously and to manage the server load better.We understand that those events can still be improved and appreciate all the comments here. This is now the 3rd iteration of these events and we will continue to adjust them based on your feedback (I hope you agree this is still better than the 1st version we released 🙂 ).
@toxic urchin no I think this is much worse. Fewer systems and fewer hostiles makes it much more difficult.
Leaderboard competing makes it more difficult. Again, many haven’t been able to participate in the last arc and have not gotten a chance to upgrade the disco. Some players have a huge advantage.
“Only have to do 6, to reduce time waiting around” - didn’t the last one only require 5? So again this is harder. Having to make sure I’m free at a specific time, 6 times throughout a day is not possible at all

Summon is also redicculously expensive to unlock

The structure of the event is fine, just need to up the spawn rate of the hostiles or make more systems critical so players spread out. Just have too many people hunting too few targets.

personal opinion , i play since my serverr 193 is open , which is 2 years, we back then enjoyed the game as we didnt had so much things to do in one day, new content is nice and awesome, the new mechanic is great i like it, but to preserve the product and maintain it to be as little buggy laggy problematic as can is even better and harder to do, but the main issue is time consuption (i play 18 hours a day) and barely kcan keep up

In my opinion, These events are extremely hard for a working family person like myself to actually compete in. Rarely do i have the top of the hour available. If i am on at the top of the hour and in game, i dont see the events pop up unless I remember to restart my app after xx:57. It's rather frustrating...was last arc, and still is this arc.

Make these events take a token to start. Only can have one token at a time, and must wait a certain timeframe between collection. When you start the token. You get random spaces as your competition area, and you have 15 minutes to get there and do the deeds needing done.

@toxic urchin
My concern with burst events is that they reward dysfunctionality in that they actually punish the highly competitive players who are also trying to maintain healthy boundaries between gaming and real life responsibilities and relationships... in other words, your most financially successful and driven player base.
I WANT to be competitive on the SLB/ALB, not just complete another hoop to jump through. But I also need to maintain boundaries. Your burst events are counter to that. It's the wrong move. It does make me want to walk away.

suggestion 1 how to "quickly" fix current issues, add more spawn points by at least 2 times, speed up spawn point that they would spawn so much that we wont have to sit on each others head to hit single hostile that spawns.
suggestion 2: burest events must not have another events with it, and instead of 15 minutes time make it hour at least, and make it that there are more then 2 "main event systems" highlighted, make all highlighted, where can do events, but best cancel that idea and simplify all and just dont do special systems, make it for all and then wont need to think about suggestion 1 above

Also feedback for burst/flash events there are far to many players in 1 system even if you are trying to push pvp this will just mean the event won't be completed as ships will be hitting each other rather then the hostiles as cant hit hostiles due to low spawn rates/low amount of ships. But adding more hostiles to the system will cause more lag. Pvp levels need to be sorted so its not always the big boys winning battles. Maybe make it power based rather then levels. At the moment at 33 I can hit a 23 thats far to big a gap as I can 1 shot him with 3 ships home this is something that's been brought up many times before as well @toxic urchin

that sounds reasonable @real bluff 15mins from arrival or the token timer taking into account some travel time. they want us to use summon ultimately...
minor loom
@abstract gate not bad but 15mins could be the time it takes to travel to the system. Maybe 15mins from when you arrive
@real bluff i also suggested they make it more based on the players capabilities in gamr
hexed lark
I had a 17:36 Travel time to a 15min event redicuulous!
tough saffron
Lots of (some constructive some not) salt in this room! Unpopular opinion, im enjoying the new arc, feels different and fresh and like something I can pick up when I want and do something else in or out of the game if I don’t. I agree having the Vulcan hello events limited to basically one main system where the hostiles were achievable to the masses was a bad call tho, came down to the entire server round 5 spawn points, kinda fun but too much chaos! @toxic urchin
real bluff
@minor loom I like that
abstract gate
@toxic urchin .... me thinks you owe this player a guiness lol @minor loom
tough saffron
suggestion from earlier @real bluff
@abstract gate this actually makes a lot of sense
fresh silo
let me be clear, this battlepass thing is fantastic
tough saffron
Didn’t include the original message, the one about having a option to take a limited number of tokens
fresh silo
but this latest rush event feels like the first borg event
incomplete, rushed into production
not tested with real accounts

@tough saffron im willing to give the arc a chance its the burst events that don't work. Burst events have never worked properly and players have complained about them all the time
hollow fossil
the burst events have been working ok since the first week of arc 1. Not 100% but about 95%
hexed lark
<@&509691205798592532> That once per 24hr event is going to tank the battle pass sales. I am not buying this one for that exact reason. Purchased a pass since they started. Not spending the money for POORLY planned garbage!
hollow fossil
@fresh silo not true, both
teal vine
Why exactly do I have 2(!) Discoverys? Summoning too expensive to research ... not they are collecting dust in my hangar
deft goblet
Not seeing the 10 min event, only see the warning, but not the event. Now the bp event is sweet.
abstract gate
come to think of it; i remember that goodness-awful g3 mining event that you mentioned in #🌌-galaxy-chat earlier [0300 g3 mining lol ]
frail anvil
These events are rubbish, poorly thought out, you lot should be embarrassed to put these out
real bluff
that sounds reasonable @real bluff 15mins from arrival or the token timer taking into account some travel time. they want us to use summon ultimately...
@abstract gate for them to want us to use summon they need to make it easier to get
fresh silo
current event is made to use the summoning with discovery
real bluff
current event is made to use the summoning with discovery
@fresh silo see above your post
fresh silo
nobody is researching it because it's way to expensive
frail anvil
Pay to participate, will take non whales days if not a week to get summoning
real bluff
Pay to participate, will take non whales days if not a week to get summoning
@frail anvil 😂 longer then that mate
hollow fossil
the one thing that would help, is if the upcomming burst event was right beside the battle pass
abstract gate
slightly longer than a week...
plucky ermine
@frail anvil you are luck if you have completed the summoning research by the end of this arc
red chasm
How about more systems with flash battles instead of three where 3 /4 of the effin server bunches on top of spawn point to where you get maybe there kills in 15 feckin minutes and that's after repawning at least once per ship
slim aurora
<@&509691205798592532> im ranked number 1. But cant do this anymore...cause i have a job, kids and wife. So i will drop because this event is ridiculous @toxic urchin
real bluff
the one thing that would help, is if the upcomming burst event was right beside the battle pass
@hollow fossil not having to restart for it to show/points to register
plucky ermine
@red chasm every of the new systems works. the critical systems award (only) double points but you fight for hostiles
primal harness
☝️
abstract gate
ohh crap .... all this chatting - almost forgot about 3 horizons mining 🙈 😂
hollow fossil
@real bluff i am not seeing that problem. Its not showing up at exactly 3 min prior and the first kill doens't always count, but i don't have to restart anymore
plucky ermine
next round starts in 7 min (eu) 😉
viral sail
One suggestion to fix the hourly event:
- Go back to the fixed number of hostiles for the milestones (same as arc 1) - this will bring down the overcrowding, as people hit a few hostiles and leave
- Bring back the mycelium mining component from arc 1 (it provided a nice break from the monotony of killing hostiles)
- Create additional milestones (or - grasp - a leaderboard) based on how many hourly events the player completed, not how many hostiles killed
slim aurora
@viral sail same here
plucky ermine
@viral sail you only need to kill 1 (!) hostile to score in the event.
meager galleon
So players with more time can compete in an event? Would you prefer people paid to win it?
real bluff
@hollow fossil ive had to restart each time on every burst event since they "fixed" them on the last event. Messaged support and was told it would be fed back. Still having to restart as points don't count for me otherwisr
meager galleon
You don’t have to participate in the SLB
hexed lark
What hourly event I have one burst event that was 1x/24hrs???
viral sail
You don’t have to participate in the SLB
@meager galleon Correct. And I am making the choice not to
frail anvil
Its always pay to play if you want any hope of getting in the top leaderboard
red chasm
Then that needs to be set in the event description because unlike the discovery event on last month whenever the flash battles popped up gave a marker on the sector maps where they were this one is you have to run around and find it where it says vulcan hello or battle of the binary stars in the description
frail anvil
But continue defending scopely its amusing
abstract gate
real bluff
You don’t have to participate in the SLB
@meager galleon I dont do any solo leaderboards as they are got the people who can be on their phones 24/7 not the people who have to lock their phones away at work
meager galleon
Actually this SLB heavily favours those with most time
tame egret
@red chasm the critical systems are still shown like last arc
meager galleon
You can’t pay to win on this particular SLB
hexed lark
It's literally in the messages about the damn event 1x/24hrs not hourly.
red chasm
Not on my screen there is nothing when it starts
frail anvil
Our alliance is ignoring this travesty of an event
hollow goblet
Well, that’s the end of that lvl40 targeted mission chain for me then, and everyone else outside the top 10 server players
tame egret
its just be on your phone at the top of every hour the event
trim hemlock
Is this helpful?
slim aurora
So players with more time can compete in an event? Would you prefer people paid to win it?
@meager galleon
There is a 3rd option than grind 24/7 or pay to win
Instead of coming off with an attitude, listen to the players who are giving you the answer.
frail anvil
Mods cant help it though, ingrained to defend scopely at all costs
Sod the players with their legitimate concerns
meager zinc
Honestly, you pretty much only have to kill 1 Klingon hostile to get a bronze medal as long as you place over 400 and then repeat that 6x
tame egret
my bracket had everyone with a point get a gold
hexed lark
It literally says in the description 1 time per 24 hours how is that hourly???
viral sail
Actually this SLB heavily favours those with most time
@meager galleon No. I have the time. I am not even working this week. But the event is so irritating (because of the overcrowding and lag) that I am choosing not to play STFC and doing other forms of entertainment. I was 6th in the solo leaderboard when I made that decision.
meager galleon
I’m not Defending anything
tame egret
only 14 ppl with any points
abstract gate
@frail anvil scroll up and check the pinned messages
meager galleon
I play this game a ton. I compete in every event pretty much
Having a different opinion on SLB and what it entails isn’t defending anything
frail anvil
Tldr 😂
hexed lark
This is one event some literally couldn't compete in as system was way too far.
abstract gate
one of the scopely devs is wanting feedback on how to improve the burst/flash events
meager galleon
You don’t have to compete in every SLB, they are designed generally long term - favouring those with more time on their hands or deeper pockets. Nothing new or ground breaking
real bluff
one of the scopely devs is wanting feedback on how to improve the burst/flash events
@abstract gate remove them
sweet aspen
Should the Vulcan Hello event give points in all anomaly systems with a bonus in 3 of those?
slim aurora
You can’t pay to win on this particular SLB
@meager galleon
Really? My team member, if he was THAT guy, could show up with his vildor, kelvin and jelli (all maxed or near maxed) and own 2 nodes and kill anyone who tried to compete with them. Thats p2p
We know and get those who spend big have an.advantage... that is not the discussion. Thr discussion is this rank event is ridiculous and this event in general is ridiculous as critical systems are too few and spawn points too few.
If you dont want our suggestions, why even come here
hexed lark
1x per day is bs. People work jackhole Scopely!
hollow goblet
Warp 120 for the lvl39-41 bracket 😂😂😂
viral sail
The event is great in concept. But when it met the real world of busy/active servers, it showed not everything was well thought through.
Again, it could be salvaged. See my suggestions earlier - a few tweaks of code Scopely already used would make all the difference
meager galleon
What is your suggestion exactly regarding SLB? All I’ve seen @slim aurora is a complaint you can’t compete in it because of time?
meager zinc
If they just dropped the critical systems stuff and highlighted all of the systems that would solve the crowding problems
I had zero issues killing almost constantly in the non critical systems.
meager galleon
We have requested all systems be highlighted for future runs
viral sail
We also need the timer back
meager zinc
Right, but people will still flock to the critical systems.m they just need to trash the whole critical system idea
frozen gyro
highliting is one thing, people will still prefer to come to criticals for logical reason to finish faster and and leave faster, but it wont be so with critical systems
meager zinc
Keep the critical captains etc, but the critical systems just create more problems
meager galleon
The aspect you’re missing is that the events are also designed with summoning in mind. So the critical systems fit for summoning
If you removed critical systems - you just park in any of the Klingon systems and wait
meager zinc
Except the discoveries are not powerful enough to kill those mobs, so then you’re in a resource spending loop
hexed lark
So basically unless we blow money we get zero rewards for today!!!!
meager galleon
You don’t use the discovery to kill
frail anvil
If summoning is required why is it so blooming hard to get. Oh silly me pay for it of course
meager galleon
You use it to tow in your best ship with PvE crew
dapper drum
I finished just sitting in a system got 2 golds
meager zinc
They are still creating a bottleneck....
meager galleon
Start of every new Arc with new ship or mechanics has always given a head start to people willing to pay for them
spare needle
Yippie , another scoply screw job. The klingon invader for mission Signal interrupted is not showing up in location its shows it should. Hard to have Mudd as captain when you can’t unlock him, nice job Scoply
dapper drum
still not worth paying for
meager galleon
This started even as far back as the BB
frozen gyro
i rather wait in klingon system and not waste time on that new mechanic, i would use that mechanic only for distant numerous quick armadas

@meager galleon
-
we dont like burst events where you need to log in every hour at a specific time. People have real life commitments...this is a game. A youtuber posted: each person gets X amount of tokens per day
From their base they can activate the token and start their own individual burst...when they can play. -
we dont like cluster where everyone is on top of each other. If you MUST do burst, add more spawn points and more critical systems. Or just dump those.
-
we dont like 8 to 10 events per day. I am in number 1 pve alliance (read: we take every single event unless its p2p and some team drops a ton of money). Dailies plus 1, MAYBE 2 (if short) events per day is fine. Every hour or on a specific time slot sucks.
The Strength In Numbers is unique. Half my team couldnt play cause they are not all home at the scopely set time
Hope that helps. Oh, and i am #1 in this event and was #1 in pvp event. Not gonna do this more. I just cant play every hour for 24 hours
dapper drum
as the critical systems are too crowded to finish
waste of money to pay for summoning has no value in this event
quasi quest
Seriously? Why has my comment just been removed as I posted
dapper drum
now if you needed the discovery to get to the system that gives bonus points then it would have been worth it
frail anvil
What with the bugs on top of this utterly pathetic event, scopely have a brass neck charging £100 a pack
frozen gyro
@slim aurora summed up nicely
hexed lark
What is this hourly event people are talking about??????????
