I love PvP so need to have ships that can pack a punch rather than good research or base
It all adds up still. I could probably add an OK amount of power to my ships still if I finished off a lot of neglected research 😅
I finished 99% of the research that was available to me in combat tree and it feels like I get no improvement at all each time I research something from new trees
I'm loving the Territory tree, just can't get emusion fast enough
Also... yet more mining... 😐
Having Pike and Moreau helps a shit tonne.
Grinding Rom from -2 Million to positive in 3 days was shitty
All the transporter patterns I get are nice.
Anyone any idea on when next jellyfish blueprints event is for level 39 up?
Whenever they feel like it usually lol
Best option if u want to stay atbone level for a while is level 25 only because everything is at level 25 territory tree . Events and gain access to vidar
At one****
Hi is anybody listen to me
Please put some Rare Uranium in the Event Store.
Can someone please tell me how the event store actually works I'm so confused and worried can u buy ships 1 level under yours like buying vader at level 24 from event store since vader is lv25
Some people can... Some can't. I started lvl25. I could see lvl26 faction ships and intermittently the hijack ships. Now I'm lvl26 and I can see the mayflower and no others. The Stella is lvl27 I think but I can't see it in event store :(
I've seen people not have north star because they pass the ship required level maybe u can see vader because u started at level 25
Can't **
Yeah I got the vidar in this event store
I'd say keep checking. Maybe clear localisation. I sometimes find new things load when the game cache is cleared but that could be all in my head haha
I'm only level 23 right now but at 25th I'm lv24
@narrow walrus i could see the davor lat ship at level 22 and it's a level 23 and at level 23 i could see the upgrade parts
I think it will show up. There are no pre reqs for vi*dar and v'dor apart from lvl. Maybe I need to do missions for the Stella to appear or something
Most likely research for Stella
@twilit imp Hey Panic. There hasn’t been a Black Jelly event the past two Fridays. Do you know if there will be one today? 🤔 People need that ship to open up Deep Space. @dire veldt @keen ledge
the iss jelly auction is generally a monthly event, though they've been known not to follow that pattern 100% of the time. there is no set schedule.
They have put them in when an arcs ends on occasion. Sometimes two in quick succession
I am ops 33 but dont have black fleed memorial forge in TC store
Does it appear once one has all blue prints?
nope. i have the forge in territory store but no sarco
you dotn' get the black fleet memorial until ops 34.
Did the bribe of stake and bottle of red worked yesterday? I was under impression that @twilit imp made silent approval of it and we were gettin iss jelly event today in 48 minutes
in the air. we'll find out
Is there any LCARs command which could tell me how much g3 it'll take to tier an augur to a certain level? Trying to find an easy way of working out how much g3 i can spend..
Yeah
!augur t1 t3 for example
But remember the tier of components is always +1 to the tier of the ship
Fingers crossed
the lcars of course is base though, you'll hae to do your own reduction calculation.
One of my sources that wishes to stay anonymus said there is 99,9% of possibility we might maybe get a jelly event in 36 minutes
i have no sources
And you call yourself host of official podcast...shape up
Avatar Event, reward is 5 shards? 🤨
Am I reading this right, is there only one more event left where people under 21 can win terran credits that is not a solo leaderboard?
your source was apparently correct. lol i didn't hear any chatter about a jelly event. butttttttttt now we owe panic a steak and a bottle. so.... great.
While the new icons look snazzy, at least they could do is match them with the right faction.....smh
My source said its ok to name him@nova valley
It was my inner voice no#24
tell your inner voice to send panic his choice bottle of wine
Just trying to get a frame of reference for comparison, this is within the first hour of the ISS Jellyfish Event on the server I'm on, is this about the same points by players on other servers?
Yeah, that's the worrying part lol... oof.. that's like 26K uncommon
what would y'all suggest be a good measure of knowing when you would stand a chance in one of these events? like having 50K uncommon or more?
Player who took this screenshot is a new 36 in my alliance... server 13 had a 5M pt score just a few minutes into the event:
Folks want that jelly!
wooof
Usual tactic on that is to burn through every epic you can put your mitts on... building up a huge score and denying them to the competition. That's after you've burnt through a stack of RSS. The points get... silly.
I have a suggestion that i think most will agree with 👀
wrong Jelly 😛
I think it's reasonable lol
Come on, who's with me on this? xD
or at least let us buy the blueprints in cash store xD
I think in order to score high in jelly event you have to be lvl 41 going to 42 where you use lots of 4* uc
i won a jelly at ops 36
Lucky you how much points did it take @neat garden
Oh lol it takes 20+ mill on my server
yeah lucky i guess
First auction places 4-10 had 70 BP's reward... Now 45... Really???
It's only DJ @ultimatdjz#3669 fault... He praised scopely too much saying lots of players unlocked Lorca due better lvl range 🤣
it used to be 10m+ on ours
What alliances are y’all in
@nova valley 👆
HAHAHAHA i know.
i already messaged them and said thanks. thanks for me making a fool of myself. that'll teach me to be nice LMAO
damnit DJ. just SHUT UP next time. hahahahahah @halcyon patio
I was planning to get him to lvl 10 by placing in top 10 for all 3. But not the case now 😏
I thought these events were supposed to be carbon copies from week to week? Why is the payout significantly worse this week? Additionally, why is Lorca not even in the pool of officers you can pull with discovery recruit tokens?
It's very difficult to plan an event when the payouts change randomly. It's peed me off quite a lot
Cos they always like to have 1 officer to make money from,
Anybody know when the event store closes for business? And should we spend all our credits, or will they still be useful the next time it's open
Credits are only used for current event store next event store will use different credits
I would think the event store would stay open for some time after the event ends..because the 'Terran Invasion - ALB' ends at the same time and awards credits...but this is scopely?
News channel > Special Monthly event! > Event store: 12/08 (9 am PST) - 1/04 (9 am PST)
Thanks Adrian
Awwww dang. Can’t get those 5 extra keys if too low level like me. Crappola
I'll be stopping by shortly 👀👍
He's got a full set of Saladin bps I'm on his server, can say he honestly takes too long to level up
Come on by. Maybe you'll be the first.
Be glad you are getting that... I have only 7 tiers to compete in and a tier 7 you get 5 bps!! 🤬
What a nice way to benefit whales or lower levels (who still get 30 tiers)
Not to mention the jelly event only had 3 tiers! 😡
Lorca payout hasnt changed for me
I noticed the same and am disgusted. This is utterly mad. they jsut halfed the price pool for almost everything but place 1 and 2.
yourse is even worse what the hell
@icy sapphire think it depends on server or your level
It’s not level, unfortunately... and if it is based on server it is 💩... all servers should be the same!
Don't know why else it would be different other than to say, you been scopelied
It depends on server population
If you have 5 lvl36+ then you should have less spots compared to a server with 40 36+. That is logical way to do it fair across servers
So you get penalised if you have less people on the server? You are still spending lots of resources, but with a significantly smaller chance to get ANY bps... I understand that you could have “less competition”, because you have potentially less 36+ ... but how many times are you going to “waste” thousands of res to try and compete to then have a whale (or a player who save res/got blessed by decent refines, which is rare) swoop in and take all the bps?
It is probably one of the most frustrating event in the game (maybe Harrison?).
Also, how is it fair that lower lvs have more tiers to unlock Lorca? They have already a different leaderboard.
It’s not like you are “competing” WITH servers... you are competing WITHIN your server
wait till last min to score 🤷♂️ if you are worried about a whale winning the event
also I never said Lorca/new reward spots are fair.I hate that 7 spots rather than 25 for higher levels because that doesnt depend on server population,instead just a generalization and totally depends on how Devs feel
Yeah, mate... easier said then done... especially since depending on the lv you drop significantly different number of uc in the last min or so 😜
I have done it more than a dozen times
I get it,3 spots can be annoying but all servers went from that point sometime in their development(just like pack contents) and you guys will have more spots in the event when your server grows.but having both more spots and a few eligible for that event is just illogical to me
Agree to disagree. I understand that if you have more people is better to give more tiers = more chances. However, for an event that requires spending res the big spenders will always have the advantage (as in most things in the game).
Now, the big spenders represent (hopefully) a small fraction of the population of the server... however, if you have less people overall, you might end up with an higher proportion of big spenders than a bigger server, therefore if you have less tiers it will mean less chances if you are competing with a big spender.
Finally, unless scopely starts proper cross-server events, you are always limited to competition in your own server, so comparison with other servers is less logical for me 😊
All servers go through that stage on my server when it was only 3 spots the 36+ players basically ignored the event until the whales had, had their fill, no point going for an event you know you can't compete in
Still frustrating though 😜
Yeah it is but that's the game
Let’s change the game!! 🤣
I've got 3m points worth of g3 saved, and i'm just not going for the event until i can see the last day has a score i can at least get 3rd place on. The rest i'm getting from epic armada chests.
Just like they sold us discovery summoning to give a pointless ship a purpose
nah
with summoning you just have the option of rushing ops to 41+ or upgrading ships
you need ops41 for w70+5
and I highly doubt any clever person would chose going to 41+ right now unless he is a big whale
so it is still same for most
It's still nice to have options, rather than there being only one path that doesn't trap you at a level you can't play efficiently
I agree but ops41 option is just stupid when you have crappy ships and spend all your miner on ops rather than ships
Why do only top 6 get reward from event, lb40+?
based on server population. only x% of players get the shards compared to the eligible bracket.
Need you to level up twice first
Bring back faction hunt. Best rewards in the game. So of course you killed it. Can’t have us earning rewards now can you
I am not sorry but this Solo LB bs is is ultimately frustrating. I busted my ass using resources spending my tritanium reserves and using my 3* resources to be in the event rewards bracket to go to bed and eake up to not winning shit and wasting resources. DO Better Scopely
spend more next time
Ultimately you need to spend more than your competition. If you can't do that don't enter them this time round. Save your resources for the next one where you'll have double the chance. I'm F2P and placed top 5 in Burnham and Georgiou auctions. It's doable but you have to plan and be prepared to sacrifice. I know I can't compete in recruit officers auctions as I don't buy recruit packs for $$ - so I never compete for those.
want a jelly on my server be ready to score 15m+ points
auction events are exactly as they are named
highest bidder
i'm halfway to my BJF through armada chests, not gonna spend 5000 to 10000$ on a game to get one quicker
also not gonna complain I can't win one either because I'm not a spender
Is there a level cutoff for getting jellyfish shards through the event store? I’m beyond the point where it’s useful but I don’t want to never have one and I’m already past 18 to get it through events
Baby jelly that is lol
At 31 baby jelly is in my store
At 35 too
40 too.
So......what do you do when your Galaxy officially dies....?
Wait hopelessly for a server merge
wait for leaderboard events and rake it in while you can! 😮 jealous.,
I thought the whole message in the last Lorca ever was "we've improved the payout" by reducing the ranges for each leaderboard. So WHY have they gone and halved the rewards for anything but 1st and 2nd place this time round? Did they make things better by accident, use it as a cover when people seemed unhappy first time round, then think that they needed to somehow make us unhappy again?
How are ties sorted out in events? For example, I’ve seen players ranked 8-12 all with the same score, and the cutoff is 10. How is it determined who makes that cutoff?
whoever got the score first
The anomolys event stopped counting points at 7700 for me... cool.
anyone know how much the discovery refinery changes once you hit tier 4?
Does anyone know what value is used by Lorca’s damage reduction ability?
150% of what?
The anomaly event seems to have stopped counting points
Answered in general.
Anyone done the mission Business as Usual from the event store yet? Is it worth it?
Here are the rewards. Courtesy of LCARS.
Thanks, what was the lars command?
Isn't the Faction Hunt event better than this one?
I also had a million gap with Domination solo, and rn I am 32nd
Faction Hunt was good for me since I used it to balance my rep with others
I hope the Xmas event, I big swarm killer to kill level 37,39,42.
I hope the xmas event will give us misteltoe frames and santa claus avatars! 😄
Reindeer!
presents!
😄
After all, frames and avatars are what we all want!! 😉
They said after each xmas event we will get 2 choices of rewards solo or alliance gifts
That will be great! Scopely does the best awards and gifts ❤️
Bonjour. Je suis lvl 19, et je n'ai pas accès aux plans des derniers vaisseaux, ni du d'vor. Est-ce normal?
@wanton furnace Oui, tu n'as pas encore le niveau. ca se débloque au fur et à mesure
Why can’t we get a good event so much crap
We need another Harrison event soon.
pvp is great. and it's been fixed for everyone up to ops 40. so i'm pretty happy with that. go kill blues.
Imo Harrison events and ISS jellyfish events should be on the same timer
Thanks scopely. Game crashed 10 secs before event reset, then doesn’t let you back in for the first minute. Result dead lat miners. I wonder if it’s deliberate to cause angst.
that's poor miner management on your part
top 7 in mine. best of the best for your bracket. go get crazy.
not really bothered about pvp event as people just farm eachother anyway
event store loot is a shit reward? even the bottom spot is 11k, which is enough for almost 2 epic shards......
I know I've been sitting on 100 mil officer xp waiting on harrison event and its starting to negatively effect my performance.
not sure i agree. every little bit counts.
why would you EVER buy g4 uncommon with event store loot? lol
When I only get 20 uncommon per refine
Have no choice
6800 for one officer shard is crap
theyv'e given so far.... mtd, over double the amounto f event store loot than any other event store this year.
Wait I will get a g3 miner print oh wait I have them all 🤣
and the prices for conversion have been the same as both event stores in 2020.
so am i. in your bracket, 7 people get paid. it's cool thoug. i'm sure the others in your bracket appreciate your apathy. gives them more payout.
some folks have accumulated north of 700k event store loot already.
I call it stupid to waste all that time and rss on very little gain
those folks aren't complaining. considering we got 350 in borg and about the same in outlaw.
like i said. those in your bracket appreciate you withdrawing lol
i wish everyone in my bracket would withdraw. lol
@heavy edge merci pour ta réponse
And the event store has no real value for any player 40 plus and you can’t say it does
that depends on what the 40 plus player needs. For some there is value there.
there's always officers lol
that's value no matter your level.
you can't say offcers don't matter. caue if you do, then youv'e spent too much cash without understanding how the game works lol
6800 for one shard a total rip off
If I win first in the pvp event I can get 5 shards
soooooooo... what you are saying is..... you need a break?
No just value for my effort in game
i dunno of any other type of non auction event that awards 5 epic shards....
especially, direct epic shards, and not rng in the ultra chest
And remember when I told you when they changed the battle pass we got screwed of faction events I was right
you assumed they were gonnag ive faction hunts anyway. clealy that isn't the case. which is a totally diff topic, one that i would agree with you on, lol, the lack of faction hunts has been apparent.
and disappointing
And I’m right about this 🤣
Scopley fan boys cheering on a poorly designed event system lmao. Half the 40s can't even get to the pvp space. Y'all keep cheering on measly payouts.. Simps
News Headline: @pure mortar troll incapable of forming opinion without personal insult. Seeks assistance changing socks.
Lol
Why don’t I have any level 41 or 42 ship prints?
All I get are frank or discovery and even better the first jelly prints totally useful for me 🤣
Hold these developers responsible is all I'm saying,
sure. be happy to. allow me to display my report BEFORE the event even went live.
i can only "hold them accountable" so much.
Did you see the packs they dropped then quickly pulled... Google 4x the ammount specials haha
@nova valley na you do good was talking about the player base in general. We need to stop giving to the greed and start demanding better. Good game with alot of potential, very bad company management on their part.. cbs should revoke
so before you presume i'm all behind the scenes cheering on the dysfunction in events, how about just not personally insult people have a real conversation? hmm?
i DON'T disagree with that statement at all.
Scopley has done some good things territory capture is amazing the new research tree the best event
the beginning of yesterday's podcast was all about the lorca auction and how it was nerfed.
@south arrow territorry capture helps us what y'all call whales. Screws the rest
Is there a listing of what levels are in what systems? I ask because it looks like higher levels are attacking lower levels claiming PvP.
they're likely fibbing @late solar OR just misinformed, cause this event IS diff than last week.
@nova valley I like your casts my man. My statement was general not directed at you
as of right now @late solar this is it.
thanks @pure mortar appreciate that! lol sorry to come at ya a bit harder than normal lol it' sjust that iterations happen. and believe it or not, the mods and cc's push HARRRRDDD. harder than most people think lol
Yeah the 40 plus is messed up some.
your boy @meager galleon is hard core on this sarco as a raider ship, and is pushing pushing pushing. and he's got ALL our support in there. just cause you guys dno't see doesn't mean it doesn't happen.
I'm not getting a kelvin, need 180 mil rep for newton. Half the 40s can't get to the system. Last weeks was better
well, last week was miserable for the 39 down. they needed to just do as i asked. put the 40-45 in it's own system at warp 64 and all problems are solved.
True
I want a gd compensation chest be for all these war within events where the only people who show up are 1.2 mill ships😡
Screw youuuuuuu fn pooply💩💩
ooooh... i can beat a 1.2m ship... where is that?
Also, $100 "exclusive" sale for stamets and saru? Am I being punked?😂🤣
what i cant beat are the 3.2m ships
Can someone clarify where all our officer xp is going? Faction Hunt seems to be gone for good but dromination all over the place
Because they get $$ from people buying when they have domination. End of year and all
So much for the giving season.... They could learn from that other Scopely game that's something to do with marvel or wrestling or something like that
But....they "giving" you a reason to buy packs🤣🤣🤣😭
Ta
People mustve finally figured out the pvp event is really an upgrade event. 90 mins and no pvp in my system.
Yeah allowing tritanium spending to affect a PVP event is so dumb
No one wants to risk their ships
i'm sad. no one will come and fight me.
@shrewd totem why only 4 docks?
Because I am waiting for research and need to mine TWO g cry
No1 fighting in my bracket all upgrading ships only
Same on my server im 1 of 3 who has be in my pvp system no1 else turning up
I'M 8/10 so far in pvp.
sooooooo far only one person is upgrading. it would seem. but i'm seeing VERY little pvp in y system. so it's possible 3 place at least was a ship upgrade. cause i've been up here since event reset, and i've attacked everything that's flown in regardless of death. i'm 8 wins, 2 losses.
actually 1, then 3-5 are all spend trit points. 6th place i've seen in my system come up and fight me.
Mining event doesn’t help. Been sat in sentaros for almost 3 hours and one other player has sent two ship. Epic fail
We've had 3 of our top 10 PvP and that is it, leader is done on upgrades and the PvP system has 5 ships all of one alliance and no one else there at the moment
Just shows you how bad that event is
Think the last event with l45s in the same system as 35s has put people off
The first time they ran it was pretty good, the last time was a sh!t show, and this time isn't brilliant because of that
this time is actually the cleanest of the three. but you're right i guess people have a sour taste in their mouth.
What is the point of having brackets in the PVP events when player can score points off ANY ship that flys into the system?
Because Scopley bowd down to the whims of the whales like they always do.
the systems are out of the way. stay out of the pvp systems. i mean what more do you want? lol you wnatd pvp systems. you got em. you wnated tighter brackets. you got them. you ned warning lights and a pop up message that it's a pvp system too?? geeeeesh.
and no @agile eagle this is 100% bowing down to the whims of the snowflakes and whiners who cry about flying into a system that's marked for pvp for a specific bracket (in your news center by the way) to keep pvp as localzied and as tightly bracketed as possible..... for the whales..... please.
We've had people doing armadas in Sirius (35-36 event system) and then whinging when they got blown up
lol maybe they wanted a 5 minute warning? LOL
Sirius isn't out of the way
It's a normal system for farming rep
And doing armadas
Nobody but a select minority like pvp events: news at 11🤑
@elder gyro dark space? 38, but it's part of your main story mission chain. You need to progress it sufficiently in order to get the mission, which is locked behind a level 38 building upgrade.
to be fair... if you had to go to the doctor 3 times before he got the procedure correct, would YOU wanna go??
That feels like an apples and oranges comparison..
Scoeply caved to those whinny players. Last weeks PvP event was a success. This week, the same as week 1, is another failure. Boring.
100%. If you don’t want to PvP. Go play FarmVille.
Do armadas in literally ANY other system. You’re just asking to get blown up otherwise.
I know, we had a discussion about it on our server's discord, I very much share your opinion, I did the same thing not long later, just hit just after armada finished instead, let it weaken them and finish them all off afterwards
You only know your own pvp area. Or is there a list of. All pvp areas?
Domination sucks for battle pass.
@pale cobalt glad they at least that much, I might possibly almost consider participating the next time.
DSon’t think scoring is working right in 27-28 PVP...
So what is up with the constant “return to station” step at the end of nearly every event? It’s a complete waste of time in most cases and totally slows the play down.
Shortcut is move a docked ship out in system and recall. Any ship comes home triggers "end"
any suggestions on whether discovery pack or ultra recruit pack from the current event store represent the best option to get?
Discovery officcers are overall weaker. Faction pack is better buy and more officer xp I think. But I'd wait for Christmas sale and see💩
im only lvl 13 going on 14 atm
so yeah xD
no faction packs lol
but thanks for the info 🙂
This PvP event is the best yet and still terrible. My 37-39 system has been empty since the first hour, if anyone goes there someone sends a ship they can't kill and they just warp away, wasting everyone's time. All the event leaders are just the guys that upgraded ships today. Your PvP problem is more fundamental.
@minor swan keep one ship on station, when it tells you to return to station, switch to that ship send it out 1 second and recall. That fullfills the request. Saves warp time and game time.
Please Scopley use this PvP Groups 27-28; 29-30; 31-32 and so on
@pseudo socket that's unfortunate that that's happening on your server. yes, my pvp system has been quieter than i woudl have hoped, BUT it has been MILDLY active. number 2 and 4 did a ship upgrade. but the rest of the top 6 have all been pvp'ing.
i wouldn't mind removing the spend trit on upgrades points.... repairs are fine. but pionts on upgrades are unnecessary i think
but the rest has been pvp. and i've had a blast. just not a ton of people have shown up. but about 10 of us.
No one in our group is doing PVP, all used trit. Makes the event pointless. System hasnt had a ship in it since the first hour of the event heh.
so if you remove the trit on upgrades component, it would at least incentivize players to pvp a d little bit more. even a little bit, it would make the players who PLAY easier to get points, and they may be more likely to join in.
here, none of the top10 did any PVP at all
and the system is so obscure we dont even have lookieloos to kill heh
PvP is weak in this game. STFC is better suited for PvE
Cost v.s rewards isn’t worth it
Make it solo milestones with better rewards if you want people to waste rss and speed ups. They keep trying to bang that square peg into a round hole.
Using trit is one of the ways you can simply win by getting a few packs I guess?😂
It’s ridiculous why these conversations remain. PvP events is a waste of time in this game. At least with territories you gain something.
Straight PvP is a huge waste of resources.
Especially if you have g4 ships
I'd actually regularly PvP if it gave good rewards from the chests... For example you get 100 fed creds for killing an epic fed ship
The rewards would need to be raised significantly
i'm never gonna argue against better rewards, but sometimes the "reward" is the pvp itself. i had a blast actually battling people. without lag! LOL i love pvp in general, so i know i spent mor on this event than i'll gain, and i'm ok with it.
i knew it going in lol
I've been in the top 10 for all 3 ( including this)
But I don't think it was worth the effort
Top 3 and?
I was just motivated by event store currency for ent bps
What did you gain?
i'm not sure what you spent total, but top 3 for all 3 is nearly 100k loot.... that's actally pretty stout i think
I didn't spend
people FORGET that borg and outlaw stores offered a total of about 350k for free. that sit's. this arc has been over double so far.
I just killed a bunch of weak ships who warped in without checking
if you didn't spend anything, then how can you argue that it's not worth it? lol you got paid let's say..... 60-75k loot for doing nothing? lol
gosh.
I agree, BUT most is through the LBs
mmmmm A LOT is through leaderboards. yes. but they're deep. SOME of them have been short. yes. but some of them have been pretty deep. EITHER WAY, you're looking at least 100-200k more loot than ever before. while the conversion prices remained the same. bottom line? they gave MORE. FREE
I’m I assume that your lower level. A max ent costs around 500k trit to repair. Simply put, PvP isn’t worth it
lol it kinda is. if peope WANT to play, and acknowledge that they're not "being paid" to play, then let em play. who cares.
well, sure, that's your opinion. i'm gonna go take my 40k loot i just got off one event where i had a blast, and go upgrade my officers higher than yours, so i can continue to beat you and then listen to you whine how the game isn't fair and caters to whales.
i'll never argue against better rewards. ever. so i would love it if they increased.
but.
BUT.
with the sheer volume of loot this rc compared to the rest of the year, it's amazing to hear people complain.
stunning.
That’s fine, at the end of the day, the rewards suck, so there won’t be as many participating
Tally the numbers
Isn't there supposed to be a SMS event with the Rise of the Sarcophagus today?
So every event is now a spend unc/rare event. Why not an event where we can actually earn unc/rare:thinking:
So... Faction Hunt removed from events isn't official yet??
@alpine snow battlepass
Wonder why faction hunt was removed. @nova valley that’s a question we should ask Scopely
I’m not complaining btw. Just mentioning that event rewards should be worth the resources and time spent.
I'm more wondering why the rise SMS has been changed to a SLB
You figure that those decisions would be based off of the numbers, nope.
Because now less people will get the Sarcophagus, but Scopley can still say all the f2p had a chance to get it for free
Money grab
A lot of players participate in faction hunt, but it has been removed
Why?
Because no $$ for Scopley
Instead they create a PvP event and sell a $100 ship repair pac
Well then change the name and make it just for terran points
So, why was faction hunt removed?
apparantly it took "too long"
apparently scopley made accounts to complain about FH being to hard
lol
even I complained about FH 🤷♂️ .It does take like 3hours at high levels
im lvl 39 and it took around an hour xD
Well then like we are always told...if you don’t like it, just don’t do it. 😂
lol xD
but but farmvillers will be happy cant have that
But it is optional to do. So if it takes too long dont do it. However if there is no faction hunt, there is no way to get rewards. In other words better to have an event you can choose not to do than no event at all
And battlepass isn't paying out enough unc/rare for all these events
being that it was the only way to get a decent amount of officer xp and ultra recruit plus some rss, ovb they werent getting enough people buying officer packs
Agree @earnest river
i agree there mate everytime the option and voting was done FH won each time so says a lot what the community wanted
Remember when we had ops up events
They took that too so people would buy more packs
Lol
Faction hunt removed because it’s hard? Yet we keep events with lower numbers of players participating?
ah going back in time is fun
35-36
But they got rid of these 🤣
36-37
37-39 was like 30k uc crystal iirc
Well Scopely clearly lye when they say they added more uncommons source instead of balancing the refinery...
They just added more reasons to need uncommons leaving the average income the same...
Faction hunt was too good on rewards so why not use that to troll some more theyr players???
But "the game is getting better" is all you will hear
From the suckers that started the game this year lol
Let's not even get started on the now, very rare, bonus refinery.
Can someone please explain, I didn't buy the elite battlepass but the cheaper one where you unlock the extra battlepass rewards. Does this unlock the Sarcophagus??
Perhaps scopely can address an increase to the 49 non-heavy transports now that everyone and their dog is hunting for them.
Quark, quick glance at the elite BP rewards and I see the sarco bps there, as well as free side. So the rest will depend on event prticipation
@abstract gate
The modified faction hunt they had on holloween was great
@fathom raven yes, I feared that
Some of us can't spend Day and night to get some BP
no you need 1 bp pack at least
SLB doesnt really changing anything.doesnt matter you lose or win,you still need 1 pack to get the ship
I think even with events and elite battlepass you will still be 18BPs short of building it but Scopely did say there will be more ways to get it after the discovery arcs have ended
@shrewd totem but there's only One choise to get BP from store, and I was not planning on buying the whole game just the dang ship 😉
Elite battlepass won't get you the ship on it's own
No you are prolly right, well just have to wait, thx guys
37-39 was like 30k uc crystal iirc
@ashen wharf and how much did someone have to spend to get the 37-39 back then?
Really facetious implying that level 37-39s today should get those rewards, when the level 37-39s of today are probably comparable to the level 25s at that point in time
Server 132 Europe is pretty much unplayable atm, wtf is going on...? 😡
No FH? But this was the best Event for Fraction Points, Officer Shards an Fraction Credits.
Bullshit event with Sarkophag, everyone should be able to get it not even the ptw guys and 24/7 gamers
You will get it ... for free... in the next Months or Years
I’m still missing points from this week and last week and nobody’s answering back
Hahahaha jeah like always the same shit forward progress only by cash
? What all you had to do was ops up lmao
tons of people were just sitting waiting for ops event to get those rewards dont care what you say
for them to just take that event away is proof of their greed and theres no defending the 💩 unless you shilling
A level 37-39 1 year ago was a whale
That was the level cap
Must have spent tens of thousands of dollars to get there in the old economy
Not at all lol
I was sitting at 35 last december
Whales were maxed epics sitting at 39
What level are you now?
38
Hrm just stopped trying?
gave up on this game long time ago no point opsing up since all spend spend spend
but i have alot of mats lol
Anyone know if there’s a race to operation event coming up?
!
We want our original events back: like Faction Hunt, Battle for Glory and CoW!
Enough with these bull**** SLB events scopely bring back faction hunt.
There is really no need to reinvent the wheel. If an event is wanted and liked by the community you don't need to mothball it because you want to introduce something new
We don't ask for faction Hunt everyday, but it's been shelved for a while now
Most know people enjoy the rewards over the event, we relayed that some time ago when it went walkies as an event. They bundled the Faction credits into the BattlePass, we have since relayed about Ultras and XP
But we may not always get what we want, personally I like the Credits in the BattlePass, at Ops 41 FH as an event is a huge chore and not scaled well
Well those rewards don't return as much as they once did, or they are running way more domination events
My xp is dropping like crazy and I'm not doing a new playstyle
Yeah that’s something that’s been fed back I believe
I just hope they take a look at the feedback and not shelving that as well
You higher ops peeps get para bellum...they could at least give us lower peeps FH.
The main problem I see is that F2P, low and mid level spenders rely on faction hunt for the officer XP to be able to complete the domination events so by removing faction hunt a lot players are now finding domination in the battlepass impossible to complete
If they want to get rid of FH then domination needs to be removed as well
If they want my honest opinion: the devs are doing their best at trying to drive us from playing the game by removing things we like and introducing stuff we dislike
this was all part of the great scheme of removing daily rewards from the events and placing them all in the battle pass. Still not sure despite some's spreadsheets at the time if that was a win for the group.
We're missing out on office XP, and Alliance Creds, along with events people didn't mind to get replaced witih events people think are MEH. Now Scopely has to balance the two together for a blend.
They have to keep doing some form of Anamolous or we won't get Discovery tokens... They won't cut out Mining Monday or Swarm Tuesday. We'll get COW or APEX at the end of each arc. So damnit Panic time for a poll!!! (Also stop doing Dom on the weekends.... )
The actual problem is that there are 85,000 currencies in this game. It’s frustrating and leading to endless grinding and waste. You should be able to convert things into things, mods into nanoprobes into the stella things, into data into whatever stupid crap you need
You mean like a....... Marketplace?????
Heaven forbid I could trade in 1000 horizon for a augur BP lol
so that you can get poor refines on Mats, and pretty meh refines on the iso side
And for F’s sake, more scouts
LOL and all of them 100% drop rate not 75-80 ...
Is that 3 pulls a day of 75k on 3 mats, 3 iso pulls a day (double or single refine) and double lat pull and 126k data (augment pull and mudd directives)
Sshhhh, they just tell you: "YoU dOnT hAvE tO dO iT aLl"
But ALL SLB events are irrelevant. You must spend money or insane amounts of time to be top 3, and the lower rewards are junk. I never even look at those events.
And they are crazy to remove FH. Yes, it takes 60-90 minutes to complete but worth it.
Problem with SLB is that 500-1000 players fight for the 3 spots that gives rewards. Too competitive.
theyve done this for a reason. because now they have probably seen more players buying packs for officer xp
dont forget this is scopely
@viscid sinew yes and no ... if you can stack some upgrades then you can win one or place ... I did in Mudd 1 and Burnham so I get the booby prize.
Who said FH has been removed?
We reckon they’ll pause takeovers on Christmas? Unlikely I know
It’s not as frequent as it was ....
Turns out we don’t have any, so that’s alright 😂 one Christmas eve then one Boxing Day
Hmmm maybe same
When is the marketplace coming, and when is an alliance message inbox coming
Lmao
Never
Lol I got invited to a save faction hunt server
I feel our voice is heard more here, so @twilit imp @pearl ruin players are making a server dedicated to saving faction hunt events. I would definitely agree with them
Faction hunt appears between arcs and sometimes during arcs. If it appeared more then it does now it would defeat the purpose of spending and overall company income when it comes to ships.
People will spend if it ships where easier to get.. then it would be more about power of the ship or so on... people that spend will find something to buy...
Can someone tell me the name@of the event I should be saving my officer pulls/upgrades for?
And is it the daily ones or is it like a specific longer one?
it's the daily ones, 6/8/12 hour in daily events. there's a pattern to when they pop up.
Oh so there’s no other ones?
I read something about a borg event that doubles pulls or something ?
https://www.stfc.ovh/ heroic recruit is on now, too 🙂
can someone tell me what an "SLB" event means?
ALB = Alliance Leaderboard
SLB = Solo Leaderboard
AMS = Alliance Milestone
SMS = Solo Milestone
ahhhh! thank you
❤️
ill definitely save my recruits for that
since they give good rewards
Leaderboards... take a view, unless you're low level the competition will mean you get less payout than the milestones
Alliance boards are often worth it, solo I find a bit too much 90% of the time
I tend to leave them to the last five/ten minutes if I'm around and decide on whether I'm doing a push then, but I'm up against the big spenders now 🙂
@shrewd totem do you know why on Server 43 the Sarc event goes to 40 for my level 27, but on server 16 in is only top 10 for my L36?
new reward brackets depending on level.I have 7 spots at 39,only 6 at 40+
has been like this since Arc started,but hated by many so already given that feedback
I am not receiving rewards
@shrewd totem thanks for the intel, and i agree that it is lame
Holiday event is tomorrow
Ooh😅
Came back to say that doing the event as describe(docked rss) worked. Apologies and thank you 🙏🏻
did a Galactic Takeover event not just end ~ 1.5hrs ago?
I see still no faction hunt in this arc 😡. Sooo close to my ent I need the credits 😱
Faction credits were added to the battlepass itself
The Officer XP needs adding to battlepass as well for the F2P, Low and Mid level spenders to be able to complete the ridiculous amount of domination events that are run during battlepass arcs
Either that or scrap the domination events completely
Can always use ship xp for the domination events since you always need to level your stella it seems
That was easy before the daily goal rewards got nerf'd
most of my ship xp comes from scrapping
When some players need over 1m points that's over 125k ship XP for each domination and it's 6-8 times a month during battlepass
to be honest I look at the calander and check to see if I need to do domination before I even try at it.
I think it's the silliest of the events
@pale cobalt would much rather spend the points on better things than just faction credits.
Don’t need to speed pts
Those are the free battlepass side there are more in the elite side as well
Faction Credits in the battlepass is a win but still need the officer XP in the battlepass to make up for the lack of FH during arcs
Don't forget the recruiting tokens...
Ultra at that.
Is the Holiday Event going to be a Faction Hunt?
Probably not, but I don't know.
They don't have enough fac credits in the BP, they also need officer recruit tokens
I reckon we'll get faction hunt, and one of either CoW or Apex between the end of this one and the start of next arc
Well, the issue seems to be the extreme level of PvP that territory capture provokes... The event store is definitely good. My personal net so far is 5k independent credits, blueprints and parts to push Dvor to T7 from scratch, completed baby jellyfish, stella 2, and 1/2 of D3 legionary, plus a mission pack. I'm 29 ops... I think the faction miners are a skip as overpriced...
Still have points to spend. Debating some spore drive parts for the tech tree and summoning
Quick question regarding events: I need 18 Franklin BPS but am level 21 will the events still ahve the prints available or have I missed the level window?
@floral schooner if you're asking about event store, Franklin bps lock out at 30 something...
Don't know exact lvl but it's above lvl 30 when they disappear
thanks!
45 is the limit per event store, and they're still offered in the event store at ops 38
That one isn't always the case...
This time we managed to beg enough for them to remove the lvl restriction on original Jelly and Franklin
oh? I knew about the Jellyfish, finally built one last week 😂
Yeah... Same... Was missing 24 bps for 2 years... It was maddening...
I was 1 bp short of my second
reason why I bought my first
was tired of waiting for events and I wanted to level up, and back then you go lvl 18 you get NS instead of Jelly bp
You are lucky. I need 4 BPs for the little Killer 😅
except that there's a 25bp limit, and I think it was only 21 from the missions. So if you didn't get enough from the events then you'll be short still.
25 from missions in total, managed to finish up some of them recently ops 34)
I'll let you argue it out with Fartasia 😉
it is 25bps from missions
it's supposed to be, but some of the missions don't show up for some people
I've been stuck at 23 bps for a year now.
I've seen a different list that has all 25 possible bps, but it has been repeatedly stated, even on those lists, that some of the missions just won't show up if you've accidently done later missions, along with other bugs.
I got bonus BPS from missions
I had 31 or sum
gotta always check old systems every couple updates to see which missions repopulate
Was reviewing the in game news. Holiday events are listed there. it'll be SMS, ALB, then SLB for the holiday events. The leaderboards are all that it says gives the holiday tokens. SMS is alliance helps and contributions. The ALB is kill hostiles, damage armadas and spend directives. The SLB is level dependent 10-17 is kill hostiles, and/or upgrade ships. 18+ is earn faction points(guessing rep?) and faction credits.
@abstract gate my franklin bps went away from event store when I went to 28
Scopley really trying to get everyone to quit this game what a joke
Shit as always you suck scopley
Only holiday event I have is alliance contribution. Event rewards are delayed
I doubt it I bet that’s all the shit events scopley has
@solar nacelle I checked in game news, don't see anything like you have.
Ur not missing anything
Another scopley fail cant even give rewards for a completed event 😂😂
The event says part 1 of 3, so more coming sometime
It also says rewards given when event is over
same here, évent finish and no tokens in inventory
Same event finish and no tokens
Event done no rewsrds
Also, what can you guy with the tokens? Without knowing what the tokens can buy, it's a little tough to know if it's worth spending money to buy more of them
the present form scoeply was litteraly 15k tokens and a frame. on christmas. in 2020. what the hell
Meant to be in gift section but not there
i hope this isnt everything theyve got in store for christmas. i feel unthankfull, but theyve given out more for regular events. jesus.
ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF PEOPLE NOT BEING ABLE TO READ!!!! When will they fix this bug! Hurray for scopley
especially this stinkin year when so many ppl have suffered
finally comes, a huge of lag...
i know right
and token are here now... the store will be at end of event but tokens now
this was one of theeeeeeee worst years ever. im seriously disappointed. im just going to hope for more. damn i feel unthankfull writing this. i should be thankfull for what ive got
Im seasoned so didn't expect anything but so many ppl on our server has lost loved ones etc. A really nice gift would have raised their spirits I think. Christmas holidays are a time when we feel a little extra about those we lost.
How do we know the new packs are worth buying if we can’t even see what we can spend them on 🤷♀️ 🤷♂️ Cmon Scopely we are not mind readers!
Well wait till you do lol
Scopley must think we are the fuking dumbest people on earth here spend shiit loads of money but we’re not going to tell you what you get
Captain Tilly pictured, but uncommon Tilly in the pack. Amazing oversight!
Anyone figure out where to spend the holiday loot?
Not me, hoping to see if anyone else did. Don't mind buying packages but like to see what I am getting first
Reading is hard
We can read but how do we know if the packs are worth buying! Read what we actually write
That was my question
who wants to spend $$$$ now for mysteries later
Exactly
You will see what's available when the event ends
Again not answered question! We know that we want to know if it’s actually worth spending £100 on something we don’t know
Great, so another utterly pointless event where we have to blindly complete it without knowing what the rewards are. Another disappointment.
the event itself is super easy to complete though
Nothing in this game is worth 99.99
... contribute to alliance X times and done.
Thanks for your opinion
Then wait till you know what is in there before buying.
Not sure why that’s hard to do
That makes it even worse. Now we’ve all completed the events 30 minutes after they dropped.
clicking contribute 4x didn't take me 30 minutes cmon, I'm faster than that!
^also that's what she said...
That's what players were asking for easier faster events can't moan when scopely deliver what was asked for
They seem like they gave us the holiday off with events and people are mad about that.
no we're mad they give us loot and make us wait 2 days, and give us packs to buy loot that we don't even know what we can buy or what the cost is
Where we spend these holiday tokens?
Which players? I’ve never seen players on the server I’m on ask for easier faster events
So don’t buy the packs to you do. Why is that so hard
you have to wait two days
Does the Jellyfish event stop showing up once you have enough blueprints for it or once it is built?
so scopely don't release the packs, why is that so hard?
Screen time has a big issue for a lot of players for a very long time
It’s like Las Vegas Gamble event buying packs now
Really so basically there is nothing they can do to make you happy
It's the holiday season have a break and relax
No... they could either 1. delay release of the packs or 2. populate store today
either would be fine with me.
really not that complicated actually
Omg then don’t buy the pack
Doesn’t seem that hard
you know what else doesn't seem that hard?
Wait till you know
Waiting to release the packs until people know what they will get.
Nothing to get you don't like surprises and are impatient 🤦♂️
you mean I don't want to buy surprises.
Don't buy straight away that's rule 1 in any game
sigh
You’re just trolling.
no seriously you guys are trolling
this is not a big ask, this is not a complicated ask, this is a stupid move on Scopely's part and it's that simple.
I think it's kind of backward to sell packs with holiday tokens when you have no clue what kind of rewards said tokens bring..just my opinion.
Cause you can’t wait a few days to find out you get upset. Think I’m done with this conversation
What you said
No, I'm upset that Scopely yet again is doing things backwards.
personally I can wait forever since im not buying but if Scopely holds true to form the rewards will be 💩
This is what i can at in the Terrain Invasion news at the very bottom
Well look in gift section now. You should be happy finally Slappo#5531
But what ones are Alliance rewards and what ones are solo rewards.
Me and 3 others of my alliance members where scrolling through each of the gifts and all bought 3 sarcophagus BPs. This is stupid
Same thing happened to me
Same
Yea me to. Wanted to see what was in its and nope bought it.
Was coming here to warn about that instant redeem bs for sarco
Their is another one like that
Same
Same
Was checking cost and bought the bps because ya
Not that the others where any good but
yes ughhhh same lol
Everything scopley touches turns to shiit
How many bps did you get ?
Credits is ok it is a full epic pull at least
3
3 bps ?
Yeah just 3
Yep
yup 19k for 3 bps
2 for me
...

Ouch
now go buy the pack
Ok thx for the info
You need to have the option to buy or not buy in these after you check them.. automatically buying is wrong
Yeah, same thing happened to me, I just wanted to see how many bps I would get. This is ridiculous
I did not want the sarco bps, I was just looking at the offering.. bunch of aśśhats running the game
Why can I not see the holiday store?
you dont have the xmas spirit
At Scopely pack prices, each Sarco bp is about $4 😂
Warning 75 duratanium in the upgrade pack
Seems you have to finish the holiday event for it to show up.
same
These are all solo bundles, where are the alliance gift bundles?
At end of the event
pressed view and it got bought instead
@twilit imp they need to fix it so there are no automatic buys when just browsing
And cancel the previous buys
@ember walrus agree 100%, i do not need sarcoBS bps
I actually think it might be intentional
accidently buying leftover turkey bones doesn't get folks festive, I guess...
I am sure it is. Oops now i should buy a pack to get what i wanted
🤷♂️
the fact it's an immediate buy, as well as not telling you how many bps you get for that 10k, seems disingenuous.
especially since it's 2 or 3 bps for most folks.
@granite zenith you have their ear.. speak up
actually the person asked WHY can't they see the store... so your analogy is worthless
if they cant see it... they couldnt have accidently bought anything
thanks for playing... you ARE the weakest link... goodbye
putting the "store" in the gifts tab was a bad move, anyway.
It’s just been changed. View before buy for sarco gifts
they should have added a new tab in the event area for the new stuff, not over top of where folks auto press.
Well now that it’s been changed I want a refund for being tricked like that
All of us that got bent over from the auto buy before they changed it are well within our rights to demand the points back
not changed for me yet, let me restart
Too late for me.. where are my tokens now, they can have their turkey bps back
Game working as usual.
G
Claimed holiday tokens
No store
Holiday tokens not dound anywhere.
I guess I got a lump of coal from Scopely
And now they updated to view instead of buy
Why is the 2nd the cheapest? 🙈
🤫
They still have not made it clear what is alliance
Alliance option will not appear until after the event.
Don’t click anything.. you may accidentally buy it
@crisp cloud that's been fixed but you have to reboot to see "view" on those 2 items
@keen ledge and where are the tokens I spent?
15 restarts in, still nothing showing 🤦♂️😡
If you spent them, then they'd be gone. We've asked if they can be returned, but 1) mods don't work for Scopely so we can only recommend and 2) no answer.
@keen ledge Thank you for an honest answer. You have a very hard job, I sincerely appreciate all that the Mods do.. Merry Christmas🖖🏻
@crisp cloud I would recommend sending a ticket to support if you haven't already done so.
By the time they respond to the ticket the event will be over 🤣
@lean jacinth I believe it's because like me, you were conned into "spending" your tokens while just browsing. Maybe the options are not visible because we "spent" the tokens? This is not OK.
If you've accidentally redeemed the Sarcophagus bundles between 9 am and 10:30 am PST, feel free to contact CS.
I sent a ticket right away, The gifts only show when you have tokens to use. I just hit the forth milestone and the gifts showed back up in the gifts section. But still no reply from Scopley
@knotty oriole thank you that's exactly what I thought.
I haven’t been able to see them at all, the tricky version or the fixed version. Good news is no tricked spending. Bad news is I can’t spend at all
I really hope they respond to my ticket and credit me those 10k tokens back. I was browsing, not purchasing, and I certainly didn't cause an "accident".
Same, but I have very low expectations at this point
@keen ledge That is the thing I hate.. I have to send a ticket to correct something that “they” messed up. “They” just need to fix their mistake and compensate everyone potentially involved. “They” have all kinds of data backups, so “they” can figure it out without me having to petition them and wait for their “canned” auto-response message...
Btw..”I have no faith in them to do the right thing”
I created a ticket lets see what happens
We wouldn't tell you to contact CS if we didn't think it'd be of any help. Have some trust 😢
Sorry gang.. I have no faith in them at this point..maybe time to cut my losses and move to a new game..
I'll definitely give them a chance to address it. Accidents happen.
But it was their accident, not mine 😆
Try including the words "holiday event" that should push the tickets to the top of the list
I did
I don't disagree but it's our only option to offer you. 🤞
So what is the update on these issues, working as intended now?
I think so now
@pseudo rover I believe you, but I still think it is wrong
I understand
How many sarcophagus bps it has?
I believe all of the green buttons now say "claim", which is a fix.
3 for me
It’s like a magic discord! Write a post and the store appears! 😂😂 got it now along with the view vs purchase buttons
Any idea is the "limit 5" means number of pulls (1/2 chest) or number of chests?
I cannot see them, becuase it looks like the offers are invisible unless you have the tokens to buy them. Which I would also give the feedback that I don't like that.
@keen ledge I understand, thanks for your efforts on behalf of the players.
I don't even sweet it in the gift section
the fact that they fix them to be viewable tells us that they know there is an issue
@knotty oriole oh TOTALLY.
Yeah uhm, we raised that 2 min after the gifts launched as we knew it would be one.
And if you don't see them, make sure you score some christmas tokens first - then check the gifts section.
Finally, If you've accidentally redeemed the Sarcophagus bundles between 9 am and 10:30 am PST, feel free to contact CS.
the time on my ticket and the auto-reply is 10:28 am
Thanks John, in my case I maxed my 10k right away with 4 lat contributions. No more tokens to go after till tomorrow. I'm sure I'm not alone.
I appreciete you being here answering quesitons!
@pseudo rover The point is why do we have to do extra steps when it is “their” mistake, not ours.. it is just wrong..
I mean, there's a difference between [ VIEW ] and [ 10.000 ]
So there's blame on both sides
I saw view, view and view, then tapped on the upgrades without looking down cause the first three were viewable.
Right, it was inconsistent - and that's been addressed
StarBright that's EXCATLY right.
And there's the option for you that IF it was a mistake (it isn't for all) that you can contact CS
@lean jacinth same here nothing
Also at the time I only had 5000 holiday tokens, So don't know where you got the 10,000 from.
True, some people may have wanted to invest 10k in a package they didn't even know the contents of. 🙄
Why have they changed the Sarco holiday rewards to need me to press View before I purchase. Now I have to press my screen one more time to make the purchase.
Ah right, [ 5.000 ]. My bad, got confused with what you got in total from today's event.
@pseudo rover Fine, I will stop I guess since the conversation is nonproductive.. “They” presented options to buy things with tokens.. then they made some of those options “auto buy” without an option to decline. Then after some complaints they changed it. But those of us who got caught in it now have to submit a “ticket” to be reimbursed for “their” mistake... this is totally wrong.. no offense to the mods..
I'm sorry that creating a ticket is such an insurmountable task for you and that you feel you need to invest all this time and energy in talking about the right and wrongs of it all. Personally, I'm just very happy that we're here and we've been able to work with them to offer a solution in the first place but yeah, it seems this conversation is indeed without merit.
Let's agree to disagree, or halfway'sies. 🙂
Anyone else thinks the christmas packs in the store are a new height of lame?
I like the first two packs
@pseudo rover I applaud your efforts and devotion to the game, I love it actually, but I am just tired of game design flaws being pushed back on the players and having to “beg” or “send tickets” to have things fixed.
Try being a moderator for nearly two years. I totally get your angle, trust me. Really, trust me. 😭
@pseudo rover I do John.
But we'll take the small victories that we can, better than nothing at all.
Cheers Dyna 🙂
@pseudo rover Hope you have a great holiday.. thank you for all you do for the community.. well all you mods.. @keen ledge
Happy holidays to you as well.
All the same to you, sorry if I got a bit too sassy at the end there! 🎄 🖖
@pseudo rover My wife does that too, when I need it😬🤣
I created a ticket, if Scopely does as they usually do when answering I won't hear back for 7 days.
Mine just showed up! After the 5th restart and clearing the cache twice.
My ticket has been answered and i got my event credits back
@ember walrus glad to hear it
Same, thank you for the prompt response. Apparently Megara is a busy gal
I replied to the auto message with “holiday chest” in it so hopefully that speeds up the replies
Any chance they can just remove the holiday chests. It’s a bit lame and it’s causing me to get RSI scrolling over to the far more valuable 10 minute chest 😒
If they remove them you wont be able to spend tokens but if you spent tokens they should be gone already
Till you get more
<@&509691205798592532> Thank you for providing an outstanding service to us all during this difficult time, I know it’s not an easy job for you all especially as it’s unpaid and thankless at times. Hope you all have a great Christmas with family and friends 🎄🍻
it has been over 3 hours since I sent my ticket, I have still not recieved a response and my holiday tokens only reflect the last 5000 I got for clearing the final milestone.
Give it time god knows how many tickets they to get through
Can anyone tell me what the rewards for these missions are?
Speed ups mostly i think but check lcars to be sure
With the holiday tokens for scaro it says limit 5 but. I can get 1 or 2 packs so is it 5 purchases or just 5 total
Normally 5 purchases so 15 if you get 3 each
Mine said limit 2. Did they change it after I looked earlier?
That would give me just enough to unlock the ship, but it's still a ship that I would likely never use.
This sarcophagus is such a rip-off and even the holiday store is a scam for it. They limit me and even if I pay $50 or more I couldn't get it. They said we could get it for but that is total b.s.
They said that it would be available F2P in the coming months after this battlepass has ended, there's still plenty of time for them to provide F2P options for unlock within roughly the period given (about 2 more months before I would start asking questions).
its literally garbage why are you all so worried about getting it anyway lol
i probably wont even build it if i get the bps 🤣
Has anyone other than the two people that posted hours ago gotten there holiday tokens back? it has been almost 7 hours since I put in a ticket about my holiday tokens being taken for an item i never wanted and i still have not gotten them back or gotten any word on how long it maybe before they get around to me.
@knotty oriole nothing for me, either.
Yes, the sarcophagus is a POS.
If you don’t get it to a node, it gets melted by much lower strength ships. If it gets to a defense node, it still gets melted by lower strength ships. Pathetic.
Yeet
Yey
Still more useful
I find them both to be a hunk of junk
Sarcoughing is only useful if you are defending because you can get it on the node before the fight begins
At least the disco is good for dvor hunting and fast coverage for armadas
Don't tier up discovery unless you unlock summon... summon should be your first priority since without it, disco isn't very usefu;
Yes but tiering decreases cost of summoning
You do realise there is no benefit to " decreased cost" of summoning if you don't have summoning?😂
Only usefulness is summoning and even then its limited
I find summoning useful for Territories, Exchange armadas, PvP events, Defending bases, Hunting the hunters who look for Opl in our territory, Getting a low tier miner to a higher warp system to hold it till I finish dinner or something like that, recalling and getting my miner back to a rich lat node, instant summon to kill some player who is annoying, summoning ships back to base to reloc quickly, etc.
Not even close!
Exactly, but the disco itself 🤣🤣🤣
Got my response from CS regarding accidental Sarco bp purchase: "As for the blueprints, as much as I would love to have this undone we cannot revert transactions that include blueprints." Looks like those two were lucky, and I'm not getting my 10k tokens back.
Awesome 👏 😂
If you don't find summoning useful, you haven't seen it used properly. It's a game changer. As Zisconian said, don't touch the disco, just unlock summoning and then put all the rest into the warp distance research for the discovery
It's like 15k spore parts for summoning, then just work on the warp distance. Then you can turn up anywhere and bring ships which shouldn't be there.. such as dvor or an envoy if you want and just let them mine in peace
I just finished building shipyard lvl 12. Does anyone know when the Event Store updates so I should be able to see it there?
The event store appeared when I hit lvl 10 and I rushed to lvl 12 hoping for the Jellyfish to appear but it hasnt yet
I put this in event feedback, but want to share a heads up here: Beware in the Holiday offers for the Sarcophagus booby trap! All the other cards have view buttons, but the sarcophagus special is a buy button. I’m level 14 and suddenly I have parts for a ship I can’t use until level 30.
So... today we get points for doing something everyone already finished yesterday? Am I getting this right?
No extra points today that I can see
Then again I'm still wondering when the jellyfish will show up for me.
This has just popped up in my gift section I’m assuming it’s a glitch/bug
I got stuck with the upgrade material and have gotten no response from scopley
Check your events.
No it is apart of today's holiday event
Can we stop with these low level missions being introduced into the game. Lvl 15 for captain's log is ridiculous. Who needs 2* materials nowadays?
finished the event and battlepass yet cant claim it as usual Scopely is fricking great at making bugs
before someone says reboot I have done that..
never mind you cant claim it til telt it exode is done in 2 more days
ouch, the upgrade materials is even worse for an accidental buy
And more scopley shiit crap after crap after crap
And more lies from scopley I did a repair cost reduction and no reduction
This is a waste
Where do any of you get 42 hostiles?
The holiday event is kinda glitched, right? Those who have not collected the holiday tokens right away were able to score extra in the second event. Those who already collected earlier got no points for the tokens from event one/
@unborn anvil darkspace
Does anyone know if shield damage counts towards the “let it explode” event?
@south arrow the reduction formula is base cost / (1 + sum_of_bonuses), so on the assumption that you have several other cost reduction research and a decent dock level then the extra 5% would be pretty small..
@scarlet root wouldn't think so, every other event has been hull damage only.
True, but it usually specifies hull health in the descriptions, so since this didn’t say that, I was wondering.
I recall them as only stating damage, as I've had this conversation and shield/hull previously. But my memory isn't perfect.
Wording could be a bit misleading it says Damage dealt as you are dealing damage to shields then I would assume that shield is included which could also be why the pts vary from one hostile to the next of the same level and class
If it was damage caused to hull only then the pts would be the same from one hostile to the next of the same level and class
This is not the first research that doesn’t work I did the first tier on g4 ship repair cost and after it increased the repair cost of my jelly
Also almost no research to g4 jelly repair cost reduction
All research is on base rates, repair cost and repair speed research won't have much if any visual increase especially if have a high level drydock as they also increase repair speed and reduce repair cost with each level
@amber prism u can get 25 jellyfish parts at 14
Interesting that you can't get the 50 from the event store at 14 and it stops you at 25
Not sure i want to rush getting to 14 then since it won't give me a complete one.
I know mission wise I can get 25 and i thought for sure the event store would have the rest
@south arrow I'm assuming you're replying to Bug Reporting. Typically what happens is that people are just overlooking something obvious, and sometimes it's an issue with the client not calculating costs properly, but you might be right. The problem though is that there's nothing to compare, and customer support would basically just tell you that everything is working A-OK. On the one that you specifically queried the difference is likely to be so small either way that you probably wouldn't notice it (If you have a very believable 260% repair cost reduction for instance, real cost reduction from base would be 72.222% and an extra 5% would make that 72.603%)
On the assumption that you don't have before and after screenshots, I believe that we can calculate the expected repair costs if you let us know the ship, tier, any component upgrades, level of dock it's in, and all of the relevant research and territory bonuses that you have in effect. Pretty sure we can get the base repair cost from LCARS then and run the numbers for a comparison, though for the sake of completeness you'd also want to look at before and after stock levels to see how much was actually taken (these don't always line up properly..)
@pale cobalt are you referring to the banner points displayed? You're aware that this is an alliance event and that this is even more useless than usual. Information to follow..
I know banners are always wrong even in solo events
This is me killing a separatist boss. You can see that I had no score prior to this kill, the toast notification says that I gained 21m points, I have clocked 3.5m points. This is as expected for hull health on separatist bosses, the additional points being from other alliance members contributing also.@pale cobalt @scarlet root
The toast notification in this instance would be accurate only if you're the only person who's killing at the time, and you would then want to do 2 kills: 1 to ensure it's reset to the current score, 1 to show the increase. But if other people are killing at the same time 🤷♂️
And this is the additional points from killing a level 22 separatist just in case someone thinks that the boss health figures have too much rounding to know for sure 😴. These hostiles have 14k shield and 14k hull, my points have increased by.. 14400, which would be 14k without rounding, as opposed to 28k if shield damage was also included.
The points are consistent and within expectations based on hull damage, which is the norm.
I finally got my holiday tokens back.
can you still access the holiday store? its not showin up on mine
if you use all your tokens the holiday gifts disappear till you get more holiday tokens.
me too when I accidently spent 5000 tokens on stupid upgrades for the new ship. Then I got the last 5000 and the gifts showed back up/
The holiday bundles are ones that you can share with your alliance or not?
@pale cobalt the damage points are based on the hull of the hostile, so you are gonna get the same points if you’re killing the same hostile
unless he's looking at the toast notifications 😂 I've got a TLDR about it all just up there ☝️
I was replying to someone else I know the banners are sh't and are never accurate
I may not explained it correctly but in some events it's hull only in others it includes shield health yet they all say Damage dealt which is misleading when they acually mean damage caused
Damage dealt and caused are 2 completely different figures
Dealing 2m dmg and having 500k mitigated to shields
is completely different to causing 2m hull damage
Your reply indicated that you were seeing varying points for same hostiles and that damage to shield was being included.
And the event says "damage dealt" and only counts points for hull, so..
During some events you do see varying pts
Which is misleading because some of dealt damage goes to shields so it's not actually damage dealt as it says it's actually damage caused
The only variance I've ever actually seen is that sometimes the toast notification will say 3499999 or 3500001 instead of 3500000, but they're useless at the best of times.
I have never seen actual proof of points varying for these events, some people have speculated that they will vary based on overkill, but again they're very consistent in actual scores.
Considering that shields don't need to be repaired, I would say that you are depleting shields and destroying hull. Hull is physically damaged, shields are not. This makes sense to me.
Wording as always been a problem in this game and some of the newer players don't know that
You've made a statement that it does include shields and that this would explain varying points, we demonstrate that both points are incorrect. Now you say that some other unrelated events work this way. So I'm to believe that you replied to a question about this event with an answer that reads like direct observation from personal experience, but are actually talking about a completely separate and unrelated event (which honestly I can't think of a single event with actual inconsistent scoring), without indicating that it's actually unrelated until someone challenges your answer? And then you want to say that wording from Scopley is a problem..
And it doesn't matter if he's unaware of the issues of Scopely, because you provided him with incorrect information anyway, in direct contradiction with my original correct advice. Which I have shown is easily demonstrated as working exactly as I expected it would, because Scopely might not be good at explaining (or making) things but they don't really just do random things and hope for an outcome. And I'm fairly confident that this is not the first of not stating "hull damage" and only counting hull damage, because I've had this discussion and providing proof before, even arguing with some people about whether excess damage counts (because that's damage dealt too, and for reference: no, it doesn't count).
Yea exactly O2C says, damage dealt points have ALWAYS been damage to hull, and never have had anything to do with shield, and actually the toast notifications are accurate, if it’s a solo lb damage event you will see the accurate damage dealt, the only inaccuracies are when bonus points are added for a kill etc, but that’s not necessarily in damage dealt events,
The damage dealt is alway accurate to what the hull size is of the ship, you just never see the actual hull cos the scan only rounds it to the nearest million, so an actual hull damage may be 2.4 million but in a scan it will only show 2m hull
I'll screenshot my next solo damage leaderboard toast notification for you, they do funny things too depending on which ones you're doing 😂
How did u get them back i tried customer support but have got nl reply for 32hrs now
@ember walrus Can u please send me what u requested to get the refund coz for me they said a refund is not possible
Any suggestions on the best way to spend the holiday tokens?
Others within my alliance reported the same thing.
not a refund. don't use refund. lol use the verbiage "sarcophagus holiday chest" charged me for looking at it. please credit 10k holiday tokens. there was an announcement by mods to request credit from CS. please and thank you
Short sharp and sweet with mine and got it back in less than 20 mins on Xmas eve
I actually got 75 not 640 duranium, but was willing to part with all 640😄
Got my credits back after 26 hours
It’s not too bad a likeness really, but I’m sure the avatar will be horrific, as is scopely tradition
U sure are lucky i got a reply after 36 hrs and that also that they cannot return the tokens
Personally I’d say send them screenshots of other agents returning them and ask why you’re being singled out
I think because this event you earn for getting holiday tokens. So it might trigger an action the rewards points for the alliance event. Or maybe not but just a thought
CS aren’t actually scopely employees as far as I can tell, but rather a contracted service center, and have no idea what each other are doing
Sorry for anyone who comes 7th in upcoming event
6, count em, 6 ranked events in a single day. Givin’ the people what they don’t want at new quantities
Wow these holiday events suck
Do you think they just laugh at the survey responses, if anyone reads them at all?
How hard would it have been to run a faction hunt side by side with this event, such a missed opportunity...
@meager zinc scopely would never miss an opportunity to let the community down
Well said
i didint get any points in seperatist event...
The bizarre thing is that the expanded license seemed like something they’d try to leverage to energize the player base, but every gameplay mechanic and event change they’ve made since that announcement is driving people away. What a shambles.
nevermind, they just took forever to load
@mighty junco 5 minute delays seem to be the new normal. By the middle of next year you can expect to get payouts from your dailies only on the third Wednesday of every month
It's a trap
Really scopely do you not have a family to hang with and now I have to spend all day farming to rank in an event.....sad state this game is in. Thanks for nothing Faction Hunt would have been way funner.......
Look out its doing - points
......... ummmm.....
Hey you aren’t just farming for the event, you also can get a new avatar and some worthless holiday tokens
yeah got the same
The gift is a bug. Hope Scopely fixes this.😩
Same here. Even for scopely a literal empty gift box is a bit on the nose, isn’t it?
Things we can always count on scopley disappointing the entire player base and many glitches
Holiday events - epic fail
So the It’s all about Family event deducts points from a faction if you lose faction points.
It’s because it’s an alliance gift, aka you don’t see it when you claim one, but when you open chests others have claimed, you’ll get the rewards
aliance gift is 375 credits for store🤣
But even that’s bugged, because all the chests will just have the name of the person who clicked the box the longest time you checked
So you’ll see like 20 purportedly from the same person, when it’s actually 20 people
its too small reward for aliance
So the ONLY way to really get holiday tokens is to buy them from the store or score high in the lb events. This is a REALLY REALLY bad event. A load of bull 💩
I didn't get anything in the gifts section at all. Ffs. Is that a bug?
well they need $ to afford their holidays after all 🤣
Btw, if any of you are still seeing PM abuse on your servers from accounts that you’re repeatedly reported to scopely CS to no results, feel free to send them to me instead. I found a gaming outlet that’s interested in seeing examples of this.
Well it’s a bad event imho especially for ftp alliances
😑 So the gifts in the gift section are part of the faction event and not actually gifts?
bad is understatement,WORST holiday event so far
I got a rock
And that’s saying a lot Batman
Which I new that before I collected
I agree wholeheartedly
they should go with holiday tribbles 😃
Don’t worry after all the anger from the players we will get a chest with 1k par 🤣
🤣
Congrats Scopely. You’ve ruined pretty much everyone’s favorite event: faction hunt
Feel free to pin that @shrewd totem 😉
cant pin it because of some people but saved for my collection 🤣
To call this piece of leaderboard Shit 'it's all about family'... I have no words
It should be a faction hunt not a stupid lb event
My officer xp is supremely low because of the lack of Faction Hunt events. Not saying we need to have a full week of it, but the once a week scenario was working really well for the majority of us. Bring. It. Back.
That would require the people who make the calls but don’t play the game to admit being wrong about something. Never gonna happen.
This game will get good out of desperation about a week before the last player quits.
Bats is there a reason some people aren’t seeing the gift chests or just WAI glitches?
it got removed for some reason
Plastic who’s pming you? Not too much abuse that i see ir is it me ? 👈🏼
@novel hollow Nah, it’s a server 38 thing, no one on server 27 pms abuse because we’re classy 🧐
🕊🕊🕊
All About Family scoring is jacked up. I completed a Fed faction mission gaining credits and it took away all my Kling points.
Some 38 folks were posting screens in here a while back and the level of indifference to it from scopley staff (not you @shrewd totem !) really stuck with me. Want to help those folks if I can
Buy the faction credit packs. You get tons of points, bs rigged event as always
Unfortunately mech, that’s a feature of the event. You have to pick which one you want to grind on a SLB and go from there
Doesn’t say you lose point only gain
Genuine guess as to why they removed the gift options: you were only supposed to be able to select one, and we were able to choose both alliance and ourselves. That’s the level of pettiness the community is up against
Agreed
What are we supposed to do? Im confused 🤷♂️
