🏆-event-chat

[spiral forge]

will try that anyway. thx

[abstract gate]

Event is about damage received, not damage done

[spiral forge]

on below deck? not on bridge?

[abstract gate]

No crew will make it cheaper, but at least faster

The named ones on bridge, apart from that health focus on below decks

[spiral forge]

ok

[abstract gate]

(Well buffing hull does make it cheaper as you need to suicide less)

[wary oxide]

Below decks use all health officers. The specific ones I listed go on the bridge. You’re trying to have more hull for the worms to damage

Day or two late but the event description is up

[abstract gate]

Well look at that 😂

[cunning knot]

that isnt showing up on mine

[abstract gate]

I love the “as seen on: here”

[spiral forge]

thx again for the tip. what a costy and stupid event...

[radiant marten]

Can we have a list of content creators who advised not to skip 32 ships,for the sake of brevity of answer... because I know a bunch of " officials" did...🤔?

[wary oxide]

Have you tried switching to a stronger wifi signal

[abstract gate]

Yeah you’ll need to decide whether all those repair costs outweigh the gains or not. For me I’ll take any store credit for ucc I can get

[cunning knot]

im on a pc so no wifi needed

[abstract gate]

One of the devs here said they are looking into including more ships for next run

[wary oxide]

I’m just playin

[cunning knot]

i had to reset to see it

[wary oxide]

DJ, Rev, NoWonShall for sure. Pretty sure fortis did too

[cunning knot]

well rev isnt official anymore

[radiant marten]

Wonderful,how about a chest for those who followed "official content creators "advice...? That'd be nice 🖖😎 ,easy enough to do,all they gotta do is check tbeir" impeccable logs"

[cunning knot]

but yea we all advised to skip certain ops level

[wary oxide]

He was official when he said to skip the Kehra for example

[radiant marten]

He was when he said skip vaklas too( admittedly,before swarm)🖖😇

[abstract gate]

Well isn’t saying skipping ops 32 ships in the same boat?

Advising someone to the best of ones ability with knowledge available up until that time?

[radiant marten]

I mean ,they can't have their cake and eat it too... pushing everybody up in ops and expecting every ship to get built... Not until they change rares & epic Matt's drops from refinery and events and the 40+ economy then make the ccs out to be the bad guys for saying 32 ship impeded your progress

Stitch up is what it is

[whole burrow]

Can someone tell me at what hour did the new battlepass arc started yesterday? Was it around 3:55 pm uct time? Scopely support is telling me 1:20 am 😲

[abstract gate]

1700 utc

[abstract gate]

definitely something for escalation !!! 🙈 🤦‍♂️

For me the events showed up around 3 UTC

[whole burrow]

They were suppose to start at 17:00 but started earlier and i missed finishing my ops40 that was done at 16:05 pm

[abstract gate]

two different date formats in the copy/paste?

[whole burrow]

I mean i finished it on time but dont count for the event that started earlier and have old ops39 rewards

What i dont get it, what is 1:21 am ?

[abstract gate]

battle pass started at 1700 09/03/21

Supposedly when they released the battlepass on your server

[abstract gate]

events start the same everywhere [ on general release]

First, no they don’t. Remember the battlepass releases where some servers are waiting hours whereas others already have them? Second, I said supposedly, because I was explaining what support said.

[whole burrow]

Then my ops40 completion at 16:05 pm should count

[abstract gate]

That said, 1.21am sounds like bullshit as that is before maintenance even happened

all servers come out of maintenance at the same time. events reset at the same time....

1700 UTC

[whole burrow]

Where can i escalate? Support channel in game is telling me same thing, event started at 1:21 am 😲

True Tommie

[abstract gate]

I don’t know why I repeat myself if you don’t want to take my word anyway, but I’ll emphasise for you, maybe that helps: ** For me the events showed up around 3 UTC**

[whole burrow]

And i get the same answer 2 times, i asked for a re-check

[abstract gate]

I’m not sure if it’s possible to escalate, but with email they at least can’t “close the ticket”

[whole burrow]

I will look email then:(

For email

[rotund kiln]

Thanks to the developers great event. limitation of ships gave me a lot of free time out of the game!👍 irony

[abstract gate]

Good luck bud, don’t know what the 40s bp looks like but I imagine it has g4 instead of g3, so big difference

[whole burrow]

No, its g4 on top of g3

Same g3 as before + tons of g4

[abstract gate]

Ugh 😢

[abstract gate]

Okay yes that’s a major difference

[blissful dragon]

No they started early on 168, we were running bp alongside lar rush and cow

[abstract gate]

still not 0121 UTC as stated by the c/s reply. 139/157 started at 1700 utc.

definitely a customer service job. screenshot event timer screen with device time in the background toolbar. get them to do the maths.... 🤔

[verbal pebble]

Just my 2 cents on this planet killer thing. I got a t8 bortas with hull increased bu officers to 580. This means 10 times dying to reach the milestone. Which is bad enough as that takes 180 30m speedups but the spawn rate is so terrible that we habe to wait about 5/10 min to have 1 spawned you can kill. System only has max 10 players in it. Took me 1 hour to get my ship killed only once. This is not the way to "reduce playtime" but invreased it tremendously. The idea was nice but execution was again fubar.

[gilded river]

I'll have to sacrifice my Sally 15 times at this rate.... repair times over 5 hours... fück that.
I have to work and sleep... I don't have time for this shite event

Events like this that make me consider writing the game for good... badly thought out

[river falcon]

Planet killer event, where are the doomsday armarda directives?????????????

[fathom rover]

Which crew need to max points for event Planet killer?

[wary oxide]

A combo of unc Scotty, 7/10, origins Saru and Leslie (captain). Livis if you are using a battleship. Stack health below decks

[fathom rover]

thanks

[broken dust]

Anyone heard of other skins coming where they won’t just be for bonuses against hostiles (ie Should I save my mats for next arc😂) @twilit imp

[fathom rover]

If I don't have Leslie, who can be captain?

[jovial hearth]

Sounds like my complaint of not even being able to participate due to not having the correct ships might be better than having them and still getting sidelined cause i cant live on stfc for 20hr a day🤔😝😂

Missing out on the event store does suck though. Thanks scopley! I do love being sidelined

[teal vine]

4 winning spots at the refit event? Srsly?

[robust vapor]

You can try Vemet, won't be nearly as good as Leslie though. If you have enough health and get it fast you can even a third death in.
I'm using a battleship with Vemet, Livis and whoever for synergy. Using Enterprise Scotty is only increase on base, so less for me than synergy on Vemet (experience will vary) and 7of10 is only useful if you're below max officer stat bonus on your ship; you only need health stat so if you can hit max without 7 then I'd ditch him.

[knotty viper]

@wary oxide how is that the best crew if it's about damage done to you?

[wary oxide]

More hull to do damage to equals less trips. Leslie is Captain repairs the hull. Scotty as captain reduces repair time

[knotty viper]

Fair enough

[chilly venture]

Since ticketed events are starting tonight, does anyone has any idea how we will receive the tickets ? It seems they are not present in BP rewards this time, so I hope it won't be paying only this time around

[idle wasp]

Perhaps the headline for this event should be “Scopely promotes ship suicide and incompetent Captains whilst encouraging time and resources to be wasted” - thankfully many of us don’t the “right ship” to participate, so can just sit back and watch the carnage !!!

[pale cobalt]

Says in the release notes we will get enough tickets in gifts each time it runs

[hazy perch]

Horrible event

[viscid helm]

it is actually worse spoke to one guy at level 33 who has got the right ship... need 5million pts for the SMS, but hitting one of the few highly camped hostiles in the highest of the three systems he got, against the bettle triangle, with a bad caption kind of gives him 20k pts, so he would need 250 hostiles which he wouldn't get even being on it all day long

<@&509690795536941056> so this is another event which wasn't properly tested and is just undoable for some players even if the got the appropriate ship... let alone those without

at 39 with an Augur the only thing annoying where those people not being able to read the event description and actually killing the worms with good crews, thus killing hostiles for no good reason

once more I get the feeling not a single one of the devs actually is trying to play this game by himself in a normal manor...

[abstract gate]

So where is Rafael DuPont in event store scopley???

[pale cobalt]

They never said he would be in the event store

[abstract gate]

And never in any shards that I opened as well!

[drowsy garden]

I was getting 800+k hull damage from using only Rare Scotty on Bridges Ent, no other officers aboard, something at least

[radiant marten]

Captain st Patrick... events requiring word comprehension should never be attempted by those who can't get their tool tips correct

[inland hamlet]

This event fits story to a tee well done, but localisation issues with I. E. German saying deal damage not take damage

[abstract gate]

Exactly my problem, the biggest hostiles are kind of 900k... My bortas is 1.3 million, if I can get one hostile every ten minutes it barely scratching my paint, I am giving up on that nonsense, no chance to complete it

[inland hamlet]

Lol trick is pmc is best crew to kill hostiles but it's not about damaging hostiles
It's about dying by taking as much damage
So pks is one of best crews

Pmc will take you around 560 hostiles at ops 33, pks takes 56

[eternal willow]

pks is?

[inland hamlet]

Pike kirk spock

Obv 34 and above pks on augur as don't want oblit firing

Also key is do opposite battle triangle

[abstract gate]

I can't even get hostiles, the spawn are overly camped

[eternal willow]

currently I'm using kumak, scotty, vella for hull and just health crew

[inland hamlet]

Saru scotty with livis captain on a bs works well too

If you in bs hit ints since they damage you most

If in ent hit bs

Mind you if in ent you can just suicide on big worms... As ops 34 plus bracket is easy

[robust vapor]

Pretty sure having shields isn't helpful. Just run hull boosting or repair reduction crews.

[inland hamlet]

Low worms are problem and idiots using pmc and pmt stuck hours in system

Lol 1000% shield boost under morale is free damage plus shields regen

[robust vapor]

Pretty sure shield damage doesn't count for points..

[inland hamlet]

Says damage doesn't day Hull damage, on a 36 int worm using bortas can get up to 165k points per worm

3 worms is 495k points target is 5.4m for event

[novel pelican]

Shoutout to all the Planet Killer Leaderboard folks. You are officially “The Best at Dying”! 😂

[robust vapor]

Doesn't matter what it says, this isn't the first event where it does this and points aren't high enough to include shields..

[inland hamlet]

Plus on leader board any ship repair = points

[tough cliff]

<@&509690795536941056> as a level 35 player I am astounded by your lack of consideration for players who do not yet have a rare or epic ship.

I went Klingon to begin (yes I chose hard mode), progressing for dual faction and decided to save my Materials for an Enterprise.

Yet I’m not allowed to take part in the Doomsday event because I have a Bortas/Saladin? I ask your devs to reconsider and add other ships to the list.

[inland hamlet]

It is

@jb you chose to lvl b4 you were ready = your choice

Had these events b4 it's optional it's not even a bp event

[tough cliff]

B4 I was ready? My maxed Bortas does just fine and takes down some enterprise/B’rel with ease.

[inland hamlet]

So do you cry when you spent all your uc and an auction rolls around?

It's first event will be easier next time round when we can actually hit the Armadas

Do your bp save your repairs quit whining

[novel pelican]

Why are you worried about this event? It’s a complete joke of an event. I have the epics, finished the solo milestones and stopped. Not giving up all that lat and speed ups for a frame that doesn’t help me progress and some change worth of event store tokens. Scopely is out of ideas or hoping to run people to the store for repair packs 🤣

[tough cliff]

No, because I have a choice to enter that. That’s my call.

I’m not frozen out because my faction ship isn’t up to their standard, a choice many players make. I’m not alone with waiting for the right ship.

We’re not talking about a Kumari here. This is a perfectly able ship and a faction one at that.

Again, <@&509690795536941056> I ask for reconsideration.

[robust vapor]

I believe they're looking at adding in the 28 ships for next event from earlier comments, no promises though.

[inland hamlet]

If people can't read the event text saying take damage and moaning cos they have to kill 560 worms they are just plain stoopid

Lol a bortas v 3m worms barely gonna survive 3 rounds

[tough cliff]

I really hope this is the case. Freezing players out is not cool.

[tough cliff]

I don’t care. I’ll die and die and die again. That’s the point, right? “Stoopid”

[inland hamlet]

What like any other event..... Where you choose not to follow prescribed logic

If you had had a 32 ship you could do it

[tough cliff]

Divine, I’m not rushing to get a B’Rel or Intrepid (both feeble ships - the Saladin is a better investment) when I could wait to get an enterprise or augur.

It’s a waste of Faction Credits and Money. I don’t mind whaling but I’ll be damned if I’m wasting it on a piece of junk like those two ships.

[robust vapor]

Oh man, not spending the rare materials we get on ships that can easily be skipped with minimal impact on everyday play, I dunno.. 😴
Just ignore him JB, save yourself a headache.

[inland hamlet]

How are you going to cope with pvp event use epic or rare to kill players.. Was same event format

[tough cliff]

Agreed. Sounds like a troll.

[inland hamlet]

Simple you chose to skip 42s so you can choose to skip the event you make your choicrs

I am skipping 42s as well cos my bortas is capable

But am not gonna be able to do some events cos of my choice

Am fine with that

32s even

If was a pvp event you would still beocked out

Or a lat mining event cos no dvor

Or Borg even with no vidar such is life

[tough cliff]

You’re happy being blocked out of participating at all, with no replacement? Ok pal.

Anyway, I’ll leave this to the <@&509690795536941056> - pls pass this on as feedback.

[robust vapor]

🙄 yeah, ok. Good productive chat here.

[inland hamlet]

There's plenty of events throughout you can do

1st day you can't do

Suppose you moan when you can only do 1 ticket event a day too

[tough cliff]

The difference is, other hostiles are available to take out and the swarm can be taken out by other ships.

Also, not sure you’ve been playing the game recently.. but they added other resources to mine to counteract Latinum, you can also steal latinum.

Oh wait, what’s that? Other resources? Sounds like another option to play.. which I don’t have here.

[inland hamlet]

Suppose jb you always place top 10 in every limited event? Cos you have to participate in every event

[abstract gate]

they may aswell shut the discord down if this is how #🏆-event-chat chat is going to be <@&509690795536941056>

[scarlet gyro]

So is the Event in which you have to Receive damage impossible for lvl 30/31 ? Or is there a way apart from mindless grinding?

[tough cliff]

Yeah I’m done. Apologies for carrying on this pointless diatribe @abstract gate

[inland hamlet]

Yes easy for 28 to 33

Use 28 faction ship kill 56 worms

[tough cliff]

Thanks for the support @robust vapor

[inland hamlet]

34 plus easy hit 9m worms

[abstract gate]

Well, 33 sucks, tried your pks, not really much of a difference, 30k pts, thus 150 36 int worms... Would take me days...

[chilly venture]

Thanks, I must have missed that 👍

[lofty isle]

<@&509690795536941056> <@&509691611903426561>
Would have been great to see discovery recruit tokens in the event store. Want giorgiou but still not half way to getting her.

[cunning knot]

thats another wish would make sense to add them to the event store tho, they have the disco and the disco go go juice there

[round ocean]

This worms damaging me event is puzzling, anyone found if its a matter of straight up hullpoints or is it beneficial to use some kind of mitigation setup?

[robust vapor]

Hull. Use whatever you can to boost hull, don't worry about damage or mitigation.

[round ocean]

thats what I was afraid of, what a time to have ignored Bortas 😂

[elfin pivot]

It is ridiculous to be excluded from an event based on your plan when or what ships you want to build. My sally could easily be competitive in the planet killer event. But since I decided to up my level to 34 before being able to build a lvl34 ship (decided to skip lvl32 ships) now I have to be excluded from atleast 85500 event store tokens. This is absolute bs

[abstract gate]

🐱 wishes he could use betty....

[warped stag]

gogo juice 🤣

[desert timber]

Just came to see how many folks were commenting that the planet killer event was garbage.

[abstract gate]

I dont understand whats the point of event store if you block certain parts/mats/rss? From everything we have right now, seems like rare Uhura is only decent buy

Could be bad memory, but seems like last event store was better

[rich grove]

Epic ships, Kirk and Uhura (or Jelly first if you don't have it)

Disco parts for summoning is a good last resort as well

[robust vapor]

Crystal, crystal, crystal, and crystal if anything left over 👍

[abstract gate]

Yeah, depends on your ops lvl and need...at 42 atm I need common g4 gas but you cant buy common g4 gas and I cant buy g3 uncommon gas to dump it into flower to scrap and get common g4

I swear uncommon is easier to get than common g4😀

[tawdry wind]

I'm going Franklin, then disco and finally NS if I have left over

[bitter snow]

It's 100% hull damage, shields aren't counting - you're better off with a brace of Scotties and Origins Saru

[bitter snow]

Honestly, it's refreshing to have a SLB I can compete in 🤣

[alpine portal]

Raids doesn't count at actual event? Sorry, don't know the English event name.

That's stupid.

[inland hamlet]

@bitter snow so explain how a 300k Hull ship can take 1m damage per run?

[bitter snow]

Interesting - I'll have to recount my augur then, I seemed to get more from hull increase on my augur, but it's shields are fairly weedy

[inland hamlet]

Health of ship is maxed at percentage but spock works in combat to regen shields

[spiral folio]

It is so disappointing that Planet Killer events are limited to only 6 warships. I'm level 34 but I don't have any of those 6 warships. So I can't participate in Planet Killer events. And because of that I can't get Event Store credits. I have to wait to get the missions tokens to be able to start progressing through Leviathan Part 1 event. And then I'll get some Event Store credits. Really disappointing.

[inland hamlet]

Yes shields on bs suck but after combat shields regen

Adding Hull officers won't take you over max Hull

So if you have max Hull they are doing 0

[bitter snow]

Livis and co?

[inland hamlet]

Livis is added b4 combat so won't increase Hull over max

[bitter snow]

I wasn't surviving more than one fight, so regen was a bit of a moot point...

[inland hamlet]

Yes well in your bracket understandable

[bitter snow]

I need to go to the loo and test this now... brb!

[inland hamlet]

If your already at max Hull %health b4 adding Hull officers from lower decks you are basicly adding 0

[bitter snow]

Ships have a hard cap on hull health?

Or do you mean once you're at 300%, you get nothing more from Scotty et al?

[abstract gate]

Is there not an officer auction event this arc?

[bitter snow]

I think this might be down to dodgy banners?
I have some pics, bear with 👍

Crew, and hull/ shield numbers

Points before

Banner, and points after

Showing shields were depleted 👍

Only counted Hull, not shield... I have mo idea how you got over 1m on a 300k ship, but doesn't seem to be to the shields 👍

[inland hamlet]

In lb you also getting points for repairs.
I just stacked health def 300% then put bridge crew on to boost in combat health

[bitter snow]

I didn't repair 🙂

[inland hamlet]

It's like when hitting an armada combat report shows your ship ending with 10m shields. ..

[bitter snow]

yeah... but shields patently were not included in that point gain?

I don't know how it killed me with less damage than I had on my hull number, but eh

[inland hamlet]

Damage is counted each point after mitigation. 80% to shield 20/ to hull

[bitter snow]

Hull pic shows me with 584k hull, I got 575k points

Mitigation doesn't come into it, it's final damage against my (dead) hull

[inland hamlet]

Hence sometimes get 80k off a 36 int or 160k per 36int depends how many morale activatipns

[slim solar]

Does leslie work?

Or vemet for that matter?

[inland hamlet]

Yes Leslie works

But not got leie

[bitter snow]

But good luck finding a worm with the right balance of power to get you to his sweet spot

On the big ones, he'll heal you once, maybe, and on the small ones he won't kick in until you've killed 50 of them already

Vemet, again - 5% heal (ish), not as solid as cadet scotty for a cap ability

[inland hamlet]

Sweet spot is 34 I ts at 43k for me

But problem is all idiots running pmc and pmt

Pmc and pmt both cut hostile weapon damage

[bitter snow]

If shields were counting for point gain, I would have gotten 1m+ points on that run

[inland hamlet]

No idea just works no way my bortas has 1m Hull it's t6

[bitter snow]

Yeah, as I say, no idea how you got it - unless it was a banner glitch, or slow event point registering adding up later

[robust vapor]

Officers like Livis add hull health separately to the stat bonuses..

[inland hamlet]

242k shields 464k Hull but do 1m per run

Livis adds Hull in Dock not in combat

[bitter snow]

I capped out at ~1.8m on the augur, but hard to tell actual numbers because the game rounds to "1m" (helpful!)

[inland hamlet]

And livis never raises Hull that's already maxed

[bitter snow]

Which is why I used the Brel with readable numbers 🙂

@inland hamlet - are you thinking of Kumak?

[inland hamlet]

If max Hull is 464k and you put livis on your Hull is still 464k

[bitter snow]

Kumak adds stats, and yes, would not add to anything that was at 300%

Livis adds a flat 40% to hull on a BS

[inland hamlet]

Livis adds 50% Hull to bs

[bitter snow]

Now, it is adding to BASE, not researched etc

so it's not going to take a 500k to 750k

[inland hamlet]

So 464k should be 682k in dick but it's not livis only helps you get to 300%

[robust vapor]

Both 300%, but Livis had higher health.

[bitter snow]

^^ researched max 🙂

[inland hamlet]

Check is if you are reachingb300%

[bitter snow]

You need to add the numbers to base stat (good luck finding it), you're looking at research/buildings/etc

[robust vapor]

.. read the screen, it says 300% 😑

[inland hamlet]

If you are at 300% and add livis your still at 300%

[robust vapor]

Yes, he had nothing to do with stat bonuses, he adds to health independently of this 😑

[inland hamlet]

Livis only helps get you to 300%

[bitter snow]

O2C's screenshot is directly contradicting you, it's right there

[robust vapor]

I mean you could look at the screenshots I just posted, both clearly state 300% and there's a clear increase in health

[bitter snow]

You are thinking of KUMAK

[inland hamlet]

302k to 323k

So he's adding 20k hull

[robust vapor]

Yes, that's higher 👍

Do you need us to explain how bonuses in this game work?

[bitter snow]

so, assuming no research (that's gonna happen).
300% crew bonus is added to whatever base health is.
40% is also added
Giving 340% to base hull

[inland hamlet]

Whereas in combat with pike and kirk and spock am getting 1000% of defence going to shield per activation so 40k per activation

[bitter snow]

so, 3.4* base health, actually, 20k feels likely

... but it didn't add shield on my run?

Can you do the same test I did? 🙂

or similar

[inland hamlet]

Then leave dock

[bitter snow]

Maybe to keep the stats right, kirk/spock below deck, one on top, then move kirk spock to top and check the point gain on both runs?

[inland hamlet]

Because station defence bonus is showing in those scteenshots

[robust vapor]

Easiest way to estimate base hull is to back this number out to 100%, so 34150 X 60% for Livis for 20490 expected increases from Livis.

Omfg... They're both in station so both figures would have those bonuses

[inland hamlet]

In combat is different got to take stays out of dock

[robust vapor]

I will go and tap a hostile for you 🙄

[bitter snow]

Oh well, I'm confident it works the way I think it does, and I'm leaving it there 🤣

[inland hamlet]

Anyway am getting better points from using my setup tried livis and Co b4 was getting less points

[bitter snow]

... is it because your spock/kirk is pushing you higher on the crew bonus?

[inland hamlet]

Yes repairing was cheaper as was using livis as captain

Pike boosts in combat

[bitter snow]

I was going for UC scotty as cap, for fewer repairs spent 🙂

[inland hamlet]

Boosts kirk and spock stats

[robust vapor]

Honestly I think he's just confused and has no idea what's going on with any of this 🤷‍♂️

[bitter snow]

But has no direct impact on hull?

[inland hamlet]

Maybe does because stat bonuses in combat

[bitter snow]

Is your bortie at 300% pre-combat?

with both crews

[inland hamlet]

My kirk is t4 and spock t5si maybe am getting Hull boosted

Yep

I get 300% below decks

[robust vapor]

Pike does not effect stats in combat, he boosts officer abilities. And Kirk and Spock don't increase stats in that setup.

[bitter snow]

Die fast, die lots, that's the goal

if spork helps you live an extra hostile, it's the same amount of damage incoming

[robust vapor]

And if your Kirk was captain with 300% health stat bonuses then you would get no health bonus from his maneuver (because this is stats increase, not hull increase).

[inland hamlet]

So explain it cos spock boosts shield... So how can I hit 2 different full health ints, get 83k and 163k

Points

[bitter snow]

a critical?

You'd need to look at the reports I think

Surely a bortas has more hull than that? My Sally is up around 400k

[inland hamlet]

I've looked if I run without pks I get max 45k

[robust vapor]

Critical wouldn't matter either

[inland hamlet]

Ie if I run livis crew max points off same int is 45k

[bitter snow]

@inland hamlet - is it a one hit wonder, or are you checking the points on each individual kill of a hostile?

[inland hamlet]

Checking each when comparing crews

[bitter snow]

So, multiple hostile kills, or just one?

[robust vapor]

Bearing in mind that you're claiming that Livis doesn't increase hull health at max stat, not really high on my credibility list 🤷‍♂️

[inland hamlet]

Also check each hostile lvl to check efficiency per run

[bitter snow]

It sounds like you're just taking more damage to hull from one ship than the other?

[inland hamlet]

Lol don't really care am at 17.5m points...

For 2hrs work

[bitter snow]

The total for one hull worth of kills, will be the same regardless of which hostiles you kill?

[inland hamlet]

But it's not

[bitter snow]

Die fast, die often

[robust vapor]

Wouldn't matter.
It would work the same as the separatist event, no over kill.

[inland hamlet]

Sep event you get burning overkill

[bitter snow]

cool, didn't know about that 🙂

[robust vapor]

No, burning is not overkill.. burning is direct hull damage and even listed in the hull health bar..

[bitter snow]

I can't tell, from how you're explaining it... the 40k, is that from a full hull of killing, or shooting and surviving a given hostile?

same with the 80 vs 160k

[inland hamlet]

I'm ops 33 so these worms suck

[bitter snow]

Right, you cannot look at individual worms then... you need to base it on the points received between repairs for an accurate statement, or add up the hits in the report

[inland hamlet]

For you you'd probably get better points hitting already damaged worms

[bitter snow]

and compare shield damage, vs hull, vs the points actually gained

... no

so long as it takes the full hull off my ship, I get points faster

[inland hamlet]

OK I kill 10 worms per run for 1m points my Hull is 464k

Explain it

[robust vapor]

Here, combat numbers. Only difference is Livis is moved below deck.Livis is separate to stat bonuses.

[bitter snow]

Something, research maybe? increasing hull in between kills, maybe even a rounding error somewhere

[inland hamlet]

What a 100% rounding error in favour lol you are talking scopy hete

[bitter snow]

I have no idea how your numbers are adding up, and I'm being charitable saying it's the game and not rough guestimates 🙂

[inland hamlet]

Anyway point being for me pks works better

Livis gives good numbers but not as good

Same as content creators say burning is best v seps but I find pmc much better

[robust vapor]

Except for everyone else that's looking at it.
And of course burning isn't best, it's literally the "I can't do anything worthwhile" method..

[bitter snow]

Yah, PMC works great if you can get more hits in. Burning is the "This is the only way I can cause ANY damage"

[robust vapor]

And there are usually better alternatives to try too..

[bitter snow]

Basically, if you can do more than the 1% damage per run without burning, by surviving longer with PMC, then PMC is best. If you can't survive more than 1-2 shots, and that's less than 1%, burning is better

[gaunt rose]

Planet Killer are the worst events to date. You're unable to participate and earn event store rewards unless you have the right ship, which changes from player to player. What a steaming pile of 💩.

[bitter snow]

Hopefuly will be addressed for the next run

Clever idea, but some iffy assumptions made by the designers

[abstract gate]

I dont think it was assumptions at all tbh, they knew some players wouldnt have the required ships, so this type of event is their way of trying to get players to spend more money to get them ships.
They know exactly what they are doing with every event and how to milk every last dime out of it.

[bitter snow]

Honestly, I think the devs don't play, or play with training wheels only on so that they have all the shinies...

I'd never be able t o play a game I had to develop and work on day in day out 🤣

[abstract gate]

I do imagine it would be hard to be a dev at scopely at times. Im sure they want to create the best game they can, but the money men above them are the ones making the calls.
They know the bubble will burst on this game soon enough and want to make as much money as they can.

[celest falcon]

How are we supposed to do the planet killer SLB, if u level 34, and you haven't got any of the ships listed, just a strong sally

[brittle snow]

Honestly why did scopely change the slb range, 33 vs 39s really???-_-

[rich grove]

When are they fixing the heroic battlepass event?

[bitter snow]

Scopely are just the producer/client, too - Digit are the devs

not sure on the business relationship, but I imagine if it's standard studio -> producer, and they're not just a subsidiary for tax purposes, then the pressure on digit must be immense at times

And their site says they have a team of ~70 people (for multiple games), so the number of active devs on STFC is going to be relatively small for the amount of code going

[inner cave]

So why is DuPont no in the event store ? He was an officer released during the TOS event @twilit imp

[bitter snow]

Utterly forked for this run, cross fingers for the next one being tweaked, sorry 😐

[dapper drum]

hope they keep it the same

people need to learn to read

and this could be the start of a revolution in education

🤣

[agile shard]

Okay so I have my Saladin, I'm sending it to Yifarus to die. What is an optimal bridge loadout? I don't have Pan, Rima, or Leslie.

[rich grove]

Kirk as captain and the rest should be health stacked

[robust vapor]

If you can stack to max stat health bonus then you don't need to put Kirk as captain.

[rich grove]

Kirk still boosts health with captains ability, so if you can die in one fight should give more points

[agile shard]

So I should die in a single fight? People on my server have been saying grind down via the triangle to low health then hit against it.

[bitter snow]

Thought this was only if he pushed you through a stat break point? Similar to Kumak?

[rich grove]

Well if he procs morale, he procs his own ability increasing the stats on the ship, with all my officers centered on hull health I got around 400k for my weak ass gladi, but with Kirk it shot up to 650k

[chilly venture]

It shouldn't be since I'm 39 and my bracket is with the 40+

As far as I can tell the brackets are the same as last Arc

[bitter snow]

Aah, yeah - so it helps if you're not at 300% yet on the health bonus 👍
Just not if you're running a max max sally and nowhere to go 🙂

[mental yoke]

I have found the best way to do this event is to not do it.

[eternal willow]

Just like military supremacy 😄

[mental yoke]

I actually finished military supremacy, but have honestly skipped every grind fest they have put out for the worms. 3 day slb’s and now this ridiculousness. Not worth my time for sure.

[agile shard]

So which is better? Grind to low health and then hit against the triangle, or die in a single hit if possible?

[gaunt rose]

Both this battlepass and the last one have had requirements that didn't allow me to participate fully. Last one, it was missions that you need to be level 40 for. This one, it's requiring a certain ship. Without one of the required ships (which differ from player to player) no neutronium and no use of the event store, which is major. Epic fail, developers. 👎👎

[abstract gate]

I would always go for time efficiency. Meaning single hit. You can also consider Vemet as captain and green scotty on bridge for your sally

[eternal willow]

The objective is to die as quickly and loose as much hull health as possible. Most have the problem that their ships are way too strong to die in a single hit. So most go for a crew that gives the ship more hull but otherwise make it as crappy as possible and then grind your way to a slow death. Use the triangle if you can but if your system is overcrowded like ours just try to attack as many as possible to get your ship to die while maybe the shields cannot fully recharge.

[agile shard]

ty, yeah my higher level fleet mates had an easier time cause a lvl 40 system was in their list. My highest was a 35.

It be easier to get nuked in that 40, tried it but it didn't count.

[eternal willow]

same here. just had the max with the 35 system and the 900k enemies were too weak against my saladin. So I used the Kumak, Scotty, Vella crew and just tried to get as many explorer hostiles but just hit all I could reach to die as quickly as I can. lower deck crew was just health guys. Got me about 800k points for one death

[robust vapor]

Like I said, and backed up by Zabatiz, if you're already at max stat health bonus (which is the only stat you need to be stacking for this) then Kirk's maneuver won't add any additional health. If you're at at the second last tier it can take you beyond max tier health bonus, but at max it does nothing 🤷‍♂️

[proven bluff]

Just when you think Scopley couldn't manage it, they give us the #StupidestEventEver

[spiral snow]

And we get it three times this Arc. 3/9-3/10, 3/13-3/15 ad 3/21-3/23

[proven bluff]

20 hours of nonstop complaints about this garbage from the community. Every complaint totally valid. Have we gotten one word in response from Scopley?

[agile shard]

Too busy with the blow and hookers

It wouldn't be too bad if it wasn't so skewed. Upper level players can finish it in 2 shots, and then theres a sharp cut off and everyone else has the grind the hell out of it. No middle ground.

[gaunt rose]

I got a reply back. It basically said the event mechanics were intended to be as they are, they can't promise any changes going forward, and thanked me for my feedback.

[proven bluff]

Took me 6 trips with my 2.1M Gladius. And what is the point of an event where the objective is to blow youeself up and dump rss into repairs? Wait! That's it. Forced spending of rss to raise money? Would Scopley really do that to it's players?

[agile pecan]

obviously the answer is yes

[gaunt rose]

Don't forget the massive hole in the middle where some of us can't participate at all. 😡

[lost tide]

That's where I'm at. Level 34, still buying BPs for an Epic ship, skipped the L32 ships as my L30s are coping fine

[proven bluff]

And let's add in the time sink going back and forth just to fight to find a ship that can blow your's up. Unless you want to waste Discovery summoning resources to save the time . . . and then spend more time or money replenishing those

[agile pecan]

I'm lucky it only cost me 40min of flying to finish the event

[eternal willow]

So at L34 the Saladin is not even in the list of ships anymore? Just e.g. Intrepid and Enterprise?

[agile pecan]

yup

[minor loom]

Or swap their order at a minimum

[wicked arrow]

This channel evertime Scopely does a reskin of killing hostiles or mining or domination: OMG SCOPELY DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT

[bitter snow]

Pleeeeasse do this! It's an annoyingly small button to hit swap ship now, and I'm only going to need 'refits' once!

Or remove it, and just use the one above the hangar in station interior?

[wicked arrow]

This channel evertime Scopely does something different: OMG SCOPELY DONT TRY NEW THINGS

[lost tide]

Yep, I have to use B'Rel, USS Intrepid, Gladius, D4, USS Enterprise or Augur. Can't score with anything else

[minor loom]

I thought this channel was intended to be a way to communicate with scopely about likes and dislikes of events and other stuff

[eternal willow]

Then when my OPS is done, I'm screwed for the next event. Yay

[bitter snow]

I quite like the idea of the take hull damage event, but needed balancing better - but hey, it's shiny new, lets see whether the 2nd time round it fits better

[lost tide]

Yeah, I just went 34 week before new Arc. If I'd known I would have waited

[minor loom]

I don't mind it being in the ship manage screen. Just either needs a new location, or to be swapped with Swap Ship Button, as I would image most people are reaching from below to hit it while on their phones.

I wouldn't mind a damage dealt pre-mitigation metric. This hull damage is purely "please go sacrifice your ship X times" costly, boring, and time consuming due to warp

[eternal willow]

And those ships are not even ones you can get quickly for such an event. Scopely really is VERY BAD at thinking ideas through. Mostly half-assed stuff they release and then try to fix later or just ignore

[lost tide]

Isn't that what the events-feedback channel is for?

[minor loom]

Too many channels on too many servers...lol.

[vivid raven]

so Commanders... how u enjoying Planter Killer SMS event?

[dapper drum]

pretty good

325m points has me at 5th and should hold me in 4-10 prize category by end

[rapid axle]

I am sure this was asking somewhere, but how are you suppose to do the Planet Killer Event that ends in abt 3 hours if you cannot get Doomsday Armada tokens? It is near impossible to get the points for the Chekov Shards?

[eternal willow]

By having your ships get blown up

[rapid axle]

Okay my Bortas is 1 Million + and my Sally the same that is near impossible

[eternal willow]

which lvl are you?

[rapid axle]

I put my weakest crew even on it and still level 31

[odd lynx]

Put Scotty as captain and take every other member off

It’s still a grind

And still sucks

But it goes a little faster

[rapid axle]

Which Scotty?

[eternal willow]

had kumak, scotty and vella on my 1.5m saladin with lower deck crew just health guys. Took a few runs but was doable.

green one

[odd lynx]

Some people said use Leslie I don’t have him. So I used cadet Scotty as captain and green Scotty as bridge

Both provide hull buffs

[rapid axle]

Thanks @eternal willow on the Scotty tem

[eternal willow]

the idea is to boost your hull health but have the ship as shitty as possible otherwise. trying to get hostiles that are better in the triangle than you. then it is just a bit of time and depends on how crowded your system is

[tough cliff]

Same issue, have a Sally & Bortas. Waiting for Enterprise/Augur combo.

[odd lynx]

So hopefully more ships get added for everyone

Agreed. And repair guys to help with the time.

[earnest hornet]

Missing the separation you can participate in the battlepass events, it’s the arc event today you can’t.
Battlepass events are totally different from the arc events.
I’m in the same boat I don’t have the ship. Scopely’s fault I don’t have the ship?? No. My game play decided that. Yes could’ve been a different option to add not specific ships at lower points. But that’s not what they have done.

[winged mantle]

same, dont have epic ships.

[peak mist]

This is a horrible event. Basically one system and there's so many people in there that it's very hard to kill anything. You need to open up more of the planet killer systems. This is ridiculous

[earnest hornet]

The main thing to realise is that next time we will be able to do the armadas so will be easier and faster to do the event

[agile pecan]

still need the ships

[dire veldt]

not if you survive and win, ha ha!

[feral quiver]

Please use words that actually mean what you want us to do because we can not raid hostiles they dont have bases, also "by any means" did not score any points when i just raided a base for same rss it said raid or by any means to get it.

[earnest hornet]

Lol 😂 well you still get damage and at 2 points per damage, not just one, but yea these armadas will be designed to die on 😂😂😂

[earnest hornet]

Really?? You didn’t figure out it’s just to kill hostiles?? Not that hard

In our minds a raid is base. Yes, but taking anything is still classed as raiding. It basically says to take it from hostiles.

So where did it say to take it from a base

[eternal willow]

Scopely will make sure there are only a few armadas so all alliances will wait for one and they will be weak enough so you will almost always win and then respawn like 15 minutes later not instantly ...

[earnest hornet]

Which is also the reason the LOWER DOOM Armadas give out those rss, so doing those will give you points for the event.

For the next run

[earnest hornet]

It’s called strategy and working out, it’s caused a lot of people to work out new crews, what will increase your hull health to give maximum points. Etc

[feral quiver]

@earnest hornet read event description yes it does say hostile but also as second or last option not main and only way ..says any means necessary and that is not true

[earnest hornet]

Any means necessary means just that, not killing hostiles, but also as I said the armadas will give this rss too.
But any means is not killing a base because that’s a players not a hostile,
What else is a hostiles base?? An armada maybe??

And also I don’t have that event so I can’t see what the description says

[feral quiver]

Lmao i hit hostile persons base

[earnest hornet]

But that’s why if you go look at the doom armadas they give out those exact rss you need for that event

[feral quiver]

I posted screenshot of event in original post

[earnest hornet]

And why you also get points for normal hostile event when do kill armadas

[zinc sun]

Ummmm... you call this a crew for Planet Killer? And yet, oddly it is.

[gaunt rose]

Thanks for that distinction without a difference, Ralph Wiggum. Do you work for Scopely? Were any of us given any kind of warning that we would need certain ships to participate fully in this season's events? Stop wasting people's time with that garbage.

[earnest hornet]

If you are running only a captain you are doing it wrong. What give point? Your hull damage. Are there officers that increase your hull damage?? Yes there are

[rapid axle]

On my Bortas I ran Moreau as my Captain

[whole burrow]

Got to love scopely support 😡

[earnest hornet]

No I agree we didn’t, but we have had previously had events that needed specific ships, not scopely’s fault we didn’t.
I don’t even have the correct ship so I am in the same boat (so to speak)

[zinc sun]

Your supposed to take in more damage than give damage.

[earnest hornet]

That’s right, so increase your hull and you recieve more damage points

[inner ginkgo]

Pike, uncommon scotty, common saru

[earnest hornet]

And also there is a difference you can complete the battlepass, they are different events compared to the arc events like today’s event.

[zinc sun]

Let's just make it easier and not a job.

[earnest hornet]

Use the right crew and it does make it easier

[earnest hornet]

Use a crew that will increase your hull

[earnest hornet]

Some people are just trolls and don’t like to think

[feral quiver]

@whole burrow i advise emailing support at

[e-mail]

You will have better support in game support some times does not help

[gaunt rose]

Some people are Ralph Wiggums and waste everyone's time by thinking they're being brilliant by stating the obvious and arguing with themselves.

[zinc sun]

Thank you.

[whole burrow]

Thanks

[zinc sun]

Where is the common sense that Planet Killer is just a bad idea? Let's note it and never repeat it.

All I am saying is let's invoke this...

[gaunt rose]

Maybe Scopely would do something if enough people demanded refunds for anything they spent for this arc.

[bitter snow]

At least its a variation on shoot reds, mine stuff? 🤷‍♂️

Not well executed, but it's the first time they've done it... So, let's see what the rework looks like?

[zinc sun]

Just like TCS? Oh that was another terrible idea. The big takeaway is that "these intern ideas" are causing more and more player fatigue.

Sorry, I don't think Star Trek is all about mining and killing reds, it's about Exploration. More of that plz. Our galaxy map needs to be bigger.

And yes, I get it. This is a pvp game. Just saying, it does have elements of exploration. Build upon that.

Let's learn that Planet Killer is bad idea. Pivot 180 away from it and change the Arc calendar of events to not have any more days like yesterday.

[dapper drum]

man I missed the dumpster fire of snowflakes 😭

[earnest hornet]

I know right 😂😂

[dapper drum]

"I've been killing thousands of ships in my system and I'm not even half done"

keep on being stupid not our problem

[zinc sun]

Oh and good solution to player fatigue is to run to insults and dumpster fires. Good plan.

[dapper drum]

I already told my server its incompotent and an embarrassment

[crystal spade]

Stop doing it. It will be resolved

[dapper drum]

how is 1 battle player fatigue as opposed to 300 faction kills for FH every day damn for 3 days

if you actually read the scoring requirements there would be no fatigue

[zinc sun]

Take a 30,000 foot view, not a 2 foot view. This is a pattern. This game is now a job. Connect the dots.

[dapper drum]

finished event in 1 battle, best event ever

spent 3 hours to place top 5

[earnest hornet]

It’s only a job if you let it become one

[dapper drum]

and I didn't have to hunt reds

just send ship to system fight and repeat 10 minutes later

if your reading comprehension is sorely lacking not my fault

only job in this game is territories because people keep up backdoor handshakes and have to defend others territories and alliances get greedy going for 5 zones

[crystal spade]

It's just a very bad start of the new arc.

[dapper drum]

actually a great start

shows just how stupid everyone on your server is

[zinc sun]

Agreed

[crystal spade]

no no a very bad one in general

[dapper drum]

weed out the weak

actually no it has been the best start ever so far

event was up and ready before reset

[bitter snow]

Followed by CoW for more hostiles, and Superiority, and then straight into a Hostile Hunt BP event... 🙂

[dapper drum]

and no bugs

[earnest hornet]

You had to kill the reds for the planet killer event, but to basically die yourself, and it’s true how many times depends on your ship hull size, but there are officers that help that

[dapper drum]

its based on your ops level

if you have a hard time you out leveled your capabilities

[zinc sun]

You're out of your tree.

Bahahahahahahaha

[earnest hornet]

And also no armadas as yet to help, next run will.

[dapper drum]

this has been the smoothest arc start to date

[crystal spade]

It has been confirmed as a design failure

[dapper drum]

maintenance was done over an hour early and event was up and running before resets

[bitter snow]

To be fair to Speed, if he's <34, it was a heck of a grind for some to get enough deaths in there

And 34+ with no ship to use, also sucks a little

[zinc sun]

I am 32

[dapper drum]

again out leveled your capabilities

scopely wants you to grow fast so you have to spend

if you slow down you don't have too spend

[bitter snow]

Well, not quite - you could easily complete any other event or daily up until yesterday afternoon with more time and effort with just a Saladin/etc at a solid tier.

No crystal balls though 🙂

[crystal spade]

look they admited to it. There will be compensation, just wait

[bitter snow]

I'll just be happy if they fix it so my alliance mates can all compete 🤣

[dapper drum]

even if I used my saladin if I was able to score with it, I would have been done in 8 hits to score my 5.8m damage needed

[crystal spade]

agree

[bitter snow]

I was in the 'happy path' bracket

[crystal spade]

it will be fixed

[bitter snow]

Yes, but that's against worms that can kill you

[dapper drum]

yeah hope they add an extra 0 to the milestone

was too easy

[bitter snow]

For lower bracket capped out in the lv35 system, where they're relatively weak wormies

[zinc sun]

Where did they admit it?

[earnest hornet]

Exactly, my sally has been able to do everything I needed before, only this event I haven’t been able too? Scopely’s fault? No, bad event design? No.
That’s the game play we have done ourselves.

[dapper drum]

not hard to get a ship to kill you even if its weaker

[bitter snow]

But still takes time

[dapper drum]

pan with rima and montgomery scott or origin saru

don't load up any officers

you won't damage it fast*

[dapper drum]

you have 90% of the servers running mitigation crews for 5k points a kill whining

when they could score 200k points a kill

[bitter snow]

It's not the ability to do it, or the number of repairs though, it's the number of kills in between the repairs 🙂 Someone with a max sally, and stacked up health, was still taking out 20+ hostiles per hull

[dapper drum]

and only need to kill 5 per run to kill off hull

[crystal spade]

I am just waiting for the compensation chest, which will come. Event will be adjusted for sure.

[dapper drum]

then they loaded up crew

tier 9 sally with no crew is weaker than a tier 1 sally with a crew

[bitter snow]

For more hull hp per repair

They'd be better off opening it to any system level, so you can choose how fast you die 🙂

[dapper drum]

I had levels 34 to 43 in my systems of choice

I kept running into the 43's

[bitter snow]

That, coupled with adding in the 28 ships to the 34+ bracket would fix everything

[earnest hornet]

But still killing 20+ hostiles is nothing, we’d do that normally for an event needing 100. Or heck even 500 people did for supremacy

[dapper drum]

34+ you should have a rare or epic

you out leveled your capabilities otherwise

[bitter snow]

Should, but you don't need one

I only got mine a couple weeks ago at 36

[dapper drum]

if you knew how scopely worked you would have one

[zinc sun]

Repaired Sally 13 times, killed on average 11 worms per run.

[earnest hornet]

No my capabilities was fine with my sally I can kill all I need with maxed sally

Just not this event

[dapper drum]

this isn't about killing

and how much you can kill

its about taking in the most damage while dealing the least

[bitter snow]

Exactly, and because nobody can read the future, and this is a game that requires planning ahead... errr

[dapper drum]

there are crews that will debilitate your ship like pan

[earnest hornet]

I know that, but you need to hit them to damage your hull exactly

[dapper drum]

and not loading up officers below deck you don't need

[earnest hornet]

And increase your hull health

[dapper drum]

the #1 guy in my bracket is lvl 34

he is 800m

[zinc sun]

Yes I know... but killing leads to the understanding of how long it took to reach milestones of damage taken.

[dapper drum]

using a 1.2m trep

[crystal spade]

you build a trep? Wow

[dapper drum]

I stopped at 350m just to maintain a 4-10 prize category

not me I skipped that trash

had bps for ent lined up to when ops 34 would be done

[viscid helm]

the problem is only with certain levels where he hostiles are way to week for the ships you have to bring to the battle as it seems

[dapper drum]

I tested out weaker ships to show others in my alliance my 1.8m sally dies in 2 battles on the lvl 35's

so you just don't understand crew

[bitter snow]

You and I were in the 'sweet spot' for the event, the difference is being open to other perspectives 🤣

I was done in ~20mins, mostly travel time

[crystal spade]

exactly

[dapper drum]

1 battle for me

ent vs a lvl 43 battleship worm 8.5m points

[bitter snow]

Guessing G4 ship?

[viscid helm]

that is the othter issue you see in this event... 95% PMC smashing all the hostiles... and you can't find one to suicde on 😉

[dapper drum]

thats the incompetence of your server

[bitter snow]

Oh, interesting? What tier ent?

[dapper drum]

I called mine out on it

6

[bitter snow]

yeah, T4 Augie took 4 runs to get it done

~1.8m per run

[dapper drum]

seing PMC and 5 kirk spock on 90% of the ships is very disappointing

[bitter snow]

Was fricking hilarious to me, and I wasn't going to tell anyone, so that my team had the better chance on the SLBs 🤣

[crystal spade]

I think the worms are ridiculous. they should fire the guy that came up with that idea

[viscid helm]

true, but then again this kind of event is kind of new 😉

[dapper drum]

only takes a few seconds to look at requirements for event

[bitter snow]

I had someone ask me how to start the battlepass earlier... there's a lot of people who don't even look at events, let alone the fine detail

[dapper drum]

then seeing your SLB and think well thats not right I have 5k points he has 5 million and we are both hitting in same system

[gaunt rose]

Who's claiming that the requirements can't be read? Straw man much? 🤣🤣

[viscid helm]

it takes you 5 seconds maybe... or me... but there are a lot of people who haven't grasped basic mechanics of this gae yet... not everybody digs deep into it - there are people actually having a life

[earnest hornet]

That was just like the iso mining event when people didn’t look at the requirements and went of about how it wasn’t working but didn’t realise they had to go home first. People just get used to a certain way things have been done and don’t look properly

[dapper drum]

well in an alliance you will have multiple people ask you whats going on

[zinc sun]

Intern. Fire the intern.

[dapper drum]

and 1 or 2 explain it then it trickles down to the rest

[earnest hornet]

Just like that raid hostiles in the lower levels one. It’s not hard

[dapper drum]

yeah your RSS raided counts for looting hostiles

so you are raiding them

[fallow cobalt]

My only gripe is that i dont have the specific ships to do the event, so this Arc is pretty much already dead for me, bit dramatic a statement i realize, but im not far wrong.

[viscid helm]

tried that... I actually exlained it to many people... impact... close to zero

[gaunt rose]

Few if any of the complaints are that the requirements aren't able to be found, so those of you beating that straw stuffed cadaver can give it a rest.

[dapper drum]

something new

[earnest hornet]

What requirements can’t be found??

[dapper drum]

and the brackets being split up so I don't have to compete with whales and their g4 ships

[gaunt rose]

Reading is hard, Ralphie.

[dapper drum]

reading is hard like coding is hard for scopely

[earnest hornet]

The requirements are there in the event if people don’t read that’s their fault

[dapper drum]

and not having the ship for your bracket is still their fault

lvl 34 to 38 is g3 rare/epic, if you are going past 34 without a rare you are jumping beyond

[marsh flame]

I’m told some of the translations were wrong and had it written as “damage to the hostiles”. So that doesn’t count for everyone

[crystal spade]

Scopely just blundered that's very obvious

[dapper drum]

like yeah sure you could have the kumari carry you all the way to g4 ships, but you won't be able to do events, and dailies will be many trips

[earnest hornet]

Yes but I’ve seen those it still showed what the points were for it still showed the par, trit and dil for th points, so not hard to figure out

[earnest hornet]

Dude bugger off

[bitter snow]

That's a strawman and you know it - a lot of people use the 28 ships to carry them to 34 and beyond, and they're perfectly capable of competing in those events with the extra time 🤣

I wouldn't go to 38 without an epic myself, but I went to 36 no sweat

I had a brel, but honestly it was lacklustre in comparison to the maxed saladin

[glass loom]

Ok then, masters of this crap event. What if you're ops 33 and your SALADIN is almost maxed? You know I'm limited to the 35 system, right? Even with nothing but a mining captain (etc) I still take almost no damage. 100 ships destroyed, almost 3/4th hull left. 4 runs with 8 hour repairs just barely earned me the bottom tier and the rewards are crap on top of that. What didn't I read? Twunts

[marsh flame]

Yeah. So they’ve benefitted in their mind by skipping a ship tier. They can’t then complain that it’s not fair that those that didn’t are getting some benefit of 1 single event

[earnest hornet]

You need to damage yourself. Pan does self damage, aka self hull breach,

[bitter snow]

breach isn't damage in itself, it just increases damage done by crits

[earnest hornet]

And increase your hull

[crystal spade]

what a load of crap

[bitter snow]

so it would kill you quicker

[glass loom]

Don't have Pan

[dapper drum]

yeah I carried to 34 with my sally

but I planned it out, I knew 6 months I would have the BPS for ent so I built my base from 30 to 34 in those 6 months where lvl 34 shipyard would finish when I got last BP

[marsh flame]

Use a different crew. My Saladin IS maxed. And I managed

[bitter snow]

I moved faster than that, I went to 36 to boost my armada chests to get drops that way 🙂

Many ways to peel a feline 👍

[crystal spade]

yup

[glass loom]

I'm missing the cargo bay lol.. It's just waayyyyy too time consuming.

[dapper drum]

don't need it to be max

he is saying even a max saladin can be made weak enough

[glass loom]

How

[dapper drum]

🤦🏽

[glass loom]

I even tried hitting someone else to strip my shields lol

[marsh flame]

Hint. You don’t need attack or defence

[glass loom]

You missed the NO OFFICERS on the ship part

[dapper drum]

put pan with rima and montgomery scott or origin saru, sort crew by health load until health is 300% then leave it at that

and go against your triangle

the point of the event is to take as much damage in while dealing the least amount per battle

[glass loom]

Don't have Pan. I've tried a lot of things. Maybe it's territory buffs? I'm in a top alliance, so I've tried all these things already lol

[marsh flame]

That worked for me. And yeah. Hit explorers if you have a choice. The battleships don’t give many points but an explorer can give 30k+

[dapper drum]

that too

I'm lucky I picked up leslie before he worked

and now he works so theres that

he came as a deal with hadley

[glass loom]

Screw it. I'm gonna go get high and deliver people's food lol

[dapper drum]

who warp boost still doesn't work

[bitter snow]

Aaah, that'll explain how you did it in one hit with the ent then 🤣

Loooots of hull

[dapper drum]

leslie moreau kirk

[bitter snow]

yep

[dapper drum]

generated 6m extra hull

[bitter snow]

hmmmmm

[dapper drum]

even without leslie its still 2m a hit

[bitter snow]

kirk spock leslie you reckon?

[dapper drum]

no

[bitter snow]

no?

[earnest hornet]

No Spock on ent

[dapper drum]

if using non ent no

[earnest hornet]

😂

[bitter snow]

I have an augur :p

[dapper drum]

if using battleship leslie moreau livis

[bitter snow]

gotta stay alive somehow

need the mitigation I guess

[dapper drum]

battleship has no shield deflection and spock even at 750% can't generate enough shield to keep it up

[marsh flame]

Moreau lowers the incoming damage enough

[bitter snow]

true!

hmmm, I might need to try that, cheers

still hovering around the #17 mark.... getting nervous 🙂

[dapper drum]

don't go too high above your head with battleship

you want to keep it generating but you don't want to die

lvl 39 explorers should give you 4m points

if augur has 2m hull

43s I end up killing them around round 50

and ent has 25m shield and 8 to 9m hull

I miss the old virtual hull death with kirk maneuver

so was amusing to watch it over and over again throughout the night

"you have 8m hull but you have no hull POOF"

need to imagine the "you are a bad guy but you are not bad" meme

[bitter snow]

Still see a lot of that after armadas with my guys 🙂

"Hey, you survived... wheredyougo?"

[dapper drum]

or when a tier 4 ent beats my tier 4 d4

but you died anyways

[bitter snow]

If I don't kill half the team... the armada was not strong enough 👀

[earnest hornet]

So true 😂😂

[dapper drum]

or if you do kill half the team their crew was not strong enough

lets bring yuki and chang and pike to an armada yay!

[bitter snow]

ugh, we try to edumacate them... but someone invariably puts uhura on a sally 🤣

[dapper drum]

well PMC

nothing wrong with pike

[earnest hornet]

Lol not uhura 😂😂😂

[bitter snow]

nooo, blue uhura

[dapper drum]

cadet uhura

uhura fine on an explorer

[bitter snow]

Sally

[dapper drum]

ahh yeah

gotta boost that 4k accuracy to 5k

[bitter snow]

we have pizacutter fests when it's armada time 🤣

[dapper drum]

I miss having to assert crew dominance solo a 31 uncommon with 1m sally

or outhitting our "whale" at the time 2.5m augur with a 1m sally

because vemet with kumak and livis works well in "any" situation

no need to bring the burn

but then again not like burn would have worked for augur back then

[minor wren]

The planet killer event is very poorly set up for level 33s. The top system we are allowed to score points in is full of worms that are far too weak. With my weakest qualifying ship (Saladin) with the weakest possible crew, I would need to attack 513 of the strongest hostiles I’m allowed in order to get enough damage to complete the event. In one day. This is just crazy. Before you run this event again you absolutely must allow level 33s to attack stronger worms in higher level systems, or it is totally unplayable @twilit imp

[earnest hornet]

What crew top and bottom are you running??

Ss?

[minor wren]

An empty Saladin with only one crew member, my weakest (Sesha). I still barely get damaged at all when attacking the strongest worms I’m allowed to

[abstract gate]

@minor wren same here

[round prism]

Well I now have a lvl 32 ship hahah

[earnest hornet]

Try running Pan, to increase the hull breach to yourself

[abstract gate]

I am refusing to do this poor laid out event by a poorly ran company

[solid marlin]

I take scotty, scotty & saru. So i get some more hul. So i can take more damage with my sally

[abstract gate]

I tried Pan but I still have to kill over 400.. so its a crap event

[earnest hornet]

So running unc scott as Captain reduces repair time and increase your hull, pan on the side give you hull breach, and origins Saru also increase hull

[minor wren]

Having lots of hull is important when you're able to suicide (so each suicide is worth more points). My problem is I can't suicide. The worms can't even hit me for any material amount of damage, they're just too weak

[earnest hornet]

Yes but he can’t hit that high hostile

So still no point

[abstract gate]

the planet killer event, you have to damage your ship to score points. which has nothing to do with the event name even.. who ever ok'd this event should be let go period. is a worthless event. why does Scopely think they have to screw the player as much as they do? @twilit imp

[dapper drum]

This battlelog bug is funny

Lvl 30 ent showing lvl 22

[earnest hornet]

Um it does because if you watched the doomsday episode they had to suicide their ship into it to kill it

That’s the point

Hence the concept. Execution I agree could be a bit better

[abstract gate]

but it wasnt into worms to kill it, it was into the machine.. so again this event isnt what the name says

cause Scopely cant keep the game on track and follow the shows..

[earnest hornet]

Umm the whole system graphics was made to look like the doomsday Planet killer

[minor wren]

Suicide events are annoying but fine. What's unacceptable is limiting the systems such that it's not possible to suicide

[lavish crow]

Blue bullet effects 🤦🏻‍♂️

[abstract gate]

like how people post vids that are way to small to view on a phone lol

[desert laurel]

can someone post a pic of what the g3 refit event looks like?

[earnest hornet]

Or don’t use screen capture 😂

[minor wren]

My suicide attempt, on the largest worms I’m allowed to hit. An <1 min repair

[gray ravine]

The other problem is that there are only two systems for 33's to do this. We are competing for slow spawning hostiles on top of having to kill over 500. This is ridiculous

[abstract gate]

even the spawn rate is so slow that when you have 50 people in one area no worms spawn for several minutes.. thats how well Scopely screwed the game up yet again

[lavish crow]

Why should we spend more time than scopely does on content?

[minor wren]

We’re their QA department

[abstract gate]

they keep making these crappy event cause people will spend money to upgrade or purchase the crap to complete the event..

Q & A what a joke as well, they just tell you what you want to hear and so far nothing comes from it

[minor wren]

The screenshots @dapper drum shared are how the event should work. But he’s receiving ~1000x more points per attack vs me. Level 33s need to be allowed to attack worms strong enough to earn that level of points

[delicate vortex]

The point system in that PLANET KILLER event seriously SUCKS...been in Kullendi 4x and still didn't get first level prize😩 😩 😩 💩 💩 💩

[crystal spade]

You are right, i already said it was a design failure. I will be corrected, just wait

[teal vine]

Btw..why isn’t DuPont in the event store ? 🙄

[dapper drum]

the answer to all the questions being asked today is that one

not in event store, not in recruit chest

[crystal spade]

Because he is a member of Section 31

[dapper drum]

@delicate vortex if you have to kill in kullendi than you should be scoring higher than me

stop using mitigation crew

[abstract gate]

@crystal spade I have 20 that says they wont do a thing to it

[crystal spade]

That's not what i've been told.

[abstract gate]

I only hav Pan on my ship and still dont take enough damage to score like that SS in Kullendi, also there is like 50 players and the spawn rate sucks.. this ecvent was screwe up from the start

[bitter snow]

One of the developers posted outright that they were looking at it.
They've done this a few times when trying new stuff (one of the PVP events in previous arcs, at least)

[desert laurel]

it's too late, the thing he could have done, give us armada directives, they decided not to do

[abstract gate]

@crystal spade they have yet to fix this game from freezing up or locking up to where you have to reboot it several times a day.. and you think they will fix this one event? dont know who told you it was gonna be but I can almost bet they are a liar

[crystal spade]

I'm pretty sure they will make adjustments and give compensation. just not sure what that compensation will be.

[abstract gate]

@bitter snow looking into it isnt the same as fixing it.. they always say they will look in to it or investigate it and then do nothing..

[bitter snow]

Directives wouldn't have helped if the ones in your systems were still of the same power, and aren't doing much damage to you

[bitter snow]

Not my experience with OldMan's comments in DC...

[crystal spade]

Well if they lie to me i will find another game to play. not going to let anyone treat me badly

[abstract gate]

yet they will wait till the event is over before fixing it if they even do.. so we get screwed out of the items in the event cause of their stupidity in making the event.. if they knew it was bad they should have pulled it for all till it was fixed.. but then that would have been the right thing to do.. but then we are dealing with Scopely

[bitter snow]

Moving the goalposts of something in motion is a lot harder than changing an unstarted iteration, and gives them a few days to make the changes?

[crystal spade]

If they compensate me after the event, it's fine.

[abstract gate]

BULL they have removed event in the past when it benifited them..

[bitter snow]

Removing it, sure

But changing it, no

And then people blew up at them because they had part completed it

and other people blew up because they didn't get the chance to complete it and others did

[abstract gate]

as I said it should ave been removed for all then fixed and brung back, but they didnt do it cause it didnt benifit them

[dry holly]

Was posted on our discord. 😂

[abstract gate]

I dont not trust Scopely as they have lied to us players in the past..

Like here.. they lied when they said this..

[crystal spade]

Did they screw up? Yes they did, but you can't pull an event half way

[abstract gate]

they have in the past removed events halve way thru

[bitter snow]

They have, and they got bollocked for doing so?

[abstract gate]

and you think all these complaints people are posting now are not the same thing?

[bitter snow]

Sure, but damned if they do, damned if they don't

At least it's completable by you, even if it takes a while

[abstract gate]

like they said they would not out up anything that wasnt up to the players high standards.. yet they do this crap.. so they think us players have reallly low standards

[bitter snow]

So leaving it in place for the people who do choose to complete it, rather than pulling it entirely feels reasonable to me

[abstract gate]

so they are liars from the word go

[bitter snow]

🤣

Because you've never made a mistake?

Everyone does

And they've admitted it!

They're looking at improving it... give the poor humans a chance

[crystal spade]

I will only have a big problem with them if they do nothing at all. That for me would be unacceptable.

[abstract gate]

not when it involved a lot of peoples game play

[torn summit]

Here is their post from yesterday...

[bitter snow]

I get it, I do, it's been a grind for people <34, and impossible for those >=34 without a rare or epic ship

But in any complex system, mistakes happen

[torn summit]

It says they see the issues, and there may be changes to future running’s if the event.

[bitter snow]

Or assumptions go the wrong way that you expect

[abstract gate]

again posting something so small you cant read it on a phone.. why do people do that

[hazy perch]

Any luck on finding armada directives?

[abstract gate]

it isnt that complex to proof read or use a test server which they claim they have and do before going live..

[bitter snow]

They're being gifted per day that the ticketed events are running

The armadas make up 2/3 of the ticketed event criteria, so use them for that

[abstract gate]

therfor they knew this was a bad event and still chose to run it..

[bitter snow]

Also being put in the store for those days I believe

It's all in the ingame news

[hazy perch]

Did I miss mine from yesterday or do they start today

[bitter snow]

Tickets are also being gifted per day

Starting at event reset today, in theory

[hazy perch]

Thank you!!!

[abstract gate]

@torn summit future dosent do us any good for this event.. it just means they know they screwed the players and just dont care

[crystal spade]

Look, if you don't like how you are treated you can always quit. OK, for people who invested a lot of time, effort and money in the game this would be a big step. For me it's more of a principle decision. If I have the feeling the are mistreating me or just don't care about me, I am gone. no matter how much time, effort or money I have invested in this game. there are limits.

[bitter snow]

three day runs, for 3 weeks

[minor wren]

Agree @bitter snow that leaving it up was their best option.

Mistakes are understandable, but there does seem to be a general carelessness in how they operate. I can't remember an update that came out without serious problems. There are lots of ways other companies avoid having constant major issues -- doing QA, testing on a few servers, etc. This isn't an unsolvable problem, they're just careless

[torn summit]

@abstract gate they’re not going to pull an event that worked for 75% of the participants!

[abstract gate]

so your fine with Scopely screwing your game play, I get it you like the way they treat you. some of us dont.

[torn summit]

Yes, they’ve pulled events in the past, but those events didn’t work for anyone.

[bitter snow]

Honestly, I think if they have more than 5-6 devs on the go at one time I'd be surprised

[abstract gate]

@torn summit they have in the past, so why not now?

[torn summit]

See my last post

[fickle storm]

@twilit imp

[vital pagoda]

Why are armada targets so difficult to destroy today? Was there an adjustment meant for new armadas in current arc that accidentally went system wide?

[abstract gate]

yes those event did work for lots in the past yet they still pulled them,

@vital pagoda its Scopely they screw the game up some how daily

[bitter snow]

Or they'd doubled up on BP events (last arc, with clear the coast and hostile hunt!)

And boy did they get it in the neck 🤣

[crystal spade]

They could give everyone a free epic ship so they can do the events hahahahaha

[bitter snow]

might have been arc before last, actually

lockdown makes time flow funny 😐

[torn summit]

@abstract gate I get you’re upset. I am too. That’s why I wrote a thought out message to them. They read it, acknowledged it, and responded to it appropriately. If you want to read it, scroll up to yesterday afternoon. 4:17pm MST. I’d post the SS, but “it’s too small to be read on a phone”!

[bitter snow]

Some people just like to complain, and do it without thought for the guy on the other end... that's what burnt me out of a live ops support role 4 years ago, like, full on breakdowns because of the amount of work and lack of understanding 🤣

Put me in a backroom with non-customer facing dev work any day

[lost abyss]

A lot of people are wondering why DuPont and makinen shards aren’t part of the event store.

[abstract gate]

the point is they claim to have a test server and use it yet they still put out a game that is glitchy and doesnt work for all. hence Scopely is full of liars

you can be sheep and eat the crap they tell you all you want. but when a company says they wont put up any conent that doesnt meet the high standard of the players then do this crap, should show you they are liars

[crystal spade]

My game is loading faster then before the update, so I think that is positive news

[minor wren]

There were some genuinely good bug fixes in the recent update

[crystal spade]

It's not all bad

[bitter snow]

So vote with your wallet/feet?

Or give the fallible humans a fair chance at it 🤷‍♂️

[crystal spade]

I just don't like the planet killer event. I think it's crap and not well thought through

And I don't like the worms. They look ridiculous

[gilded patrol]

3500 uncommon to finish a daily ticket event?

[meager zinc]

Wait,bayou have tickets? They certainly didn’t put any in the battlepass

[gilded patrol]

Had some left over from last time. They also just put some in gifts

[rough sandal]

I just got a gift of 10 that I could claim

Restart if you haven't received them yet - guessing it may take a few minutes to roll them out over all the servers

[alpine snow]

Spend 491 unc in research at lvl 29. Umm have they checked the research to see thats crazy?

[rough frost]

God they are not getting better today 🙈

[plush basalt]

Couldn't be bothered to finished planet killer event. I think it's terrible, takes too long and a waste of everyone life.

[rough frost]

The Doomsday hostiles.... With same point that for normal hostiles..... But worm are 10 times stronger 😅 so how many hostile giving 1400 points i need to reach 2.62 million @fresh peak ?

[elder jasper]

This event is the worst ever in over a year of playtime

[bold geyser]

How long is the doomsday armada timer once you start?

[plush basalt]

I tasking my allinace to #boycott Dooms Day events and just focus Battle Pass points and events.

[chrome holly]

Looks like 5 min

[bold geyser]

Ugh

[main cairn]

Is it just me or does it require 97 people in an alliance to complete one ticketed event per day in order to complete the alliance milestone? That's completely ridiculous. Not even the strongest alliance on our server has that many people.

[chilly venture]

This is getting kinda ridiculous. Ticket events last arc were very nice in terms of rewards, 7M dili and decent amount of gas unc and rare for example. This time around you get 7.5K event store currency, which royally pays you 3M dili.

And the events are way more of a hassle than the one before in terms of work required for completion

[next lion]

Lol. Further evidence scopley isn’t so good at math - I think they slipped in an extra decimal again. If we know many of our players will grind for 6 hours a day, let’s see how many will grind for 60hrs a day.

[merry fulcrum]

Love the new alliance milestone

[real bluff]

@fresh peak @twilit imp @rough mulch can you boost the doomsday hostiles. There are none and you've made a doomsday hostile event great going with making events impossible to be done

[rough sandal]

I was up until 3am this morning grinding for the SLB event for my bracket so I had a shot at rank 1 (I got it, but it was close and if I'd actually had a busy day at work there'd have been no chance)

[rough frost]

...... No comment. They really fecked it big since yesterday

[fringe owl]

Congrats on ruining ticket events Scopely!

[alpine snow]

So i looked. At lvl 29. I can get most of the way to the 490 unc with 2 researchs which also take 6 days to finish without speedups. Otherwise i would need about 12 other smaller ones which would take about 20 days. Even if i rush to do it for a 1 day event. If they redo this ticketed event. Your pretty much screwed because there arent large unc needed on research at this level.

[faint locust]

This ticket event is like a job...

[chilly venture]

Did I miss something ?

Highest unc Doomada has 23M health, I have 5 starts and have to do 93M damage to finish the event ?

[marsh bridge]

You should see the 40+ for research. Have to spend over 3000 uncommon for garbage rewards. No thanks. And the armadas. Spend $100 to lose a bunch of times for more garbage rewards. Worst event they’ve ever had.

[chilly venture]

I would need to solo a 25M power armada 5 times ?

[abstract gate]

Dumb question- does the event store bp limits reset if you jump levels? I.e. buy 45 bp at lvl 17 and jump up to 18 can you buy rest or still locked?

[marsh bridge]

Limits are where you are when the arc starts.

[abstract gate]

Not for battle pass rewards, the event store blueprints

[uncut garden]

Are you guys going to fix the worm spawn rate? It’s like 1 at a time anywhere that has armadas and the non armada zones are like 10 at a time instead of double that

[abstract gate]

Can buy 45 frank bp b4 it says locked. If Im lvl 17 and buy 45 then jump to 18 can I get the other 45

[dapper drum]

no event store locks once you purchase something

same with all events

packs don't

you can buy a monthly pack and ops up and buy it again

and get 60 tokens

[abstract gate]

Ok, thanks!

[silent moon]

Why did they start the event missions with destroying armadas yesterday and then don’t release the directives needed to even run the armadas until this morning. It’s just sloppy work

[dapper drum]

daily gift

and why would you want to waste your first directives on trying to take damage and not deal it

this way you get to use them and earn antiprotons

although I wonder how much damage I could take doing solo uncommon DD arm

[terse summit]

Is it intended that the three ticketed events provide different amounts of antiprotons? This seems like forcing users to pay for additional event tickets to be able to succeed

[somber marsh]

Players: Remember how terrible the Borg armada loot was?
Players: Yeah, for real. And its also incredibly annoying how we keep getting thousands of useless ship blueprints all the time.
Devs: 😏

[dense gulch]

There are not many 37's. I can't kill to many 38's in one trip. There are few 36's around and I would need to kill over 300 of them.. think I will pass on these events.

[wintry roost]

Quick math.. at lvl 41, I would need to spend 3488 unc mats....
<@&509690795536941056>
Is the comma in the wrong place?

Even if i would wish to complete... imagine doing that 3 days in a row....

[nova valley]

Gosh. Hate to say it. I’m with y’all on every facet of this. These events are not well designed in their milestones.

[abstract gate]

lol, but the sheep will say they made a few mistakes at but will fix them or compensate us players.. I havent seen any compensat=ion as tey nor any fixes..

[novel pelican]

Yeah and they want you to BUY the tickets for the pleasure of wasting mats.

[modest rivet]

DJ rant on the show later?

[alpine lagoon]

These tickets event are undo able. What where they smoking when they thought this up sjees

[teal vine]

What are they smoking at scopely ? Will never finish those milestones (ops41)

[wintry roost]

These events need a quick make over... i like a challenge but as in my example spending 3,500 unc gas/ore/crystal.... i would expect a different reward...
Have they let loose the interns again?

[rain whale]

And most ships this time are limited in store. Compared to the store in Dec

[modest rivet]

not even going to bother with them until they get changed

[nova valley]

Same. And rant not unlikely. Milestones way outta control. Not in touch with olayer capabilities or even feasibility of the “one free” event you’re supposed to get with your daily chest.

[rain whale]

36 Million in Armada Event to score. Did 830 and took two tries for a 35 one 🤷🏼‍♂️

[alpine snow]

Really if they slashed it by a factor of 10 to 20 it would be more realistic. I think they added 1 too many 0s

[nova valley]

I’m running ALL this up. Chatting about it now. Hopefully an update or info provided soon

[alpine snow]

Thanks DJ

[wintry roost]

Where they not mentioning that they want to reduce screen time.... now i need to work on getting MS done within 24H

[rain whale]

@nova valley please also give them some word about limited Stella BPs... absolutely ridiculous

[alpine snow]

Too bad people have prob spent their 10 tokens on this stuff already though

[rain whale]

Much appreciated 🙏🏻

[nova valley]

Event store has ALWAYS been limited bps. Don’t have as much beef with that one as I do milestones. But yes. I’ll send it up as a suggestion for event store.

[vapid path]

Antiproton?????

[nova valley]

Used as a scoring metric for alliance milestone.

[rain whale]

Stella was not limited last time, same as disc and Vidar

[agile pecan]

vidar was

[nova valley]

The DESIGN of the event isn’t bad. But the milestones WAYYYY off.

[rain whale]

Bought them last Shop entirely. Apart of Stella - wasn’t at that level at that time 😂

[wintry roost]

by a factor of 20-25

[agile pecan]

stella was full when I bought it though

[rain whale]

Factions ships, NS and Baby Jelly definitely were limited

Yes, last Shop Vidar, Disc and Stella were full purchases

This time, initially „no limit“ and suddenly after being told you can only buy 50% of BPs they added the indicator

And later

[winged tulip]

IT's still the same fundamental flaw as borgmada IMO.
Wormadas drop no useful loot. Killing them or being killed, who cares, it's just damage done that counts. That makes for a very long and grindy event, even before you factor in that this is taking place in a busy system where everyone is trying to take the same armada spawns.

[nova valley]

Just like borgmadas loot isn’t the prize. Don’t care about the loot. But the milestones are way out of touch. Should never require this much effort for these “sub events”

[rain whale]

Last events were cool. At least some nice additional ress

[languid harness]

You can complete the alliance milestones two ways, either have 50 people complete the armada event all three days, or be in a whale alliance where many people buy more tickets and do more events.

[dim pulsar]

Come on, is this for real? Yesterday I felt happy because I would buy my disco and my vidar and finally catch up for being a "new player"

[winged tulip]

If there was an event that rewarded you for smashing your face against a wall, would you do it? Events should be somewhat enjoyable, or at least not actively annoying.

[languid harness]

But in both situations you have to buy more stuff

[soft gazelle]

Worse events than yesterday? Check! Mission accomplished

[rain whale]

Same as Stella, initially for all those ships, no limitations indicator was given. They added them later on for Vidar, BB, Disc and Stella @dim pulsar

[nova valley]

Dont disagree. But I mean the events milestones payout are the prize. No one does armadas for fun. Lmao they do it for the milestones which contain the payout.

[winged tulip]

First run of stella in event store wasn't limited

[alpine snow]

Stella was limited to 100. So you could get 1, but only 1

[vapid path]

Where to find antiproton?

[agile pecan]

ticket evetns

events

[winged tulip]

I think if you removed the uc/rare/epic credit rewards from normal armadas and ran an event for them people would enjoy them less too..

[rain whale]

Yes

This time you get 0,5 of a Stella

[dim pulsar]

I'm sad now. 😦

[rain whale]

So still half a stella more than this time. And that’s the point

[vapid path]

Yesterday there was no limit on Stella bp, today only 50 👿

[eager shore]

What LEAVE SOMETHING UNBROKEN!!!?? NEVER

[rain whale]

No, there as

[rain whale]

They just didn’t indicate it

But you could only buy 50 BPs to start with

[wintry roost]

It feels like the mile stones for these ticketed events are actually alliance mile stones..

[alpine snow]

I agree, not sure why they limit bps for theses specialty ships. Shpuld be trying to encourage gameplay, not limit

[rain whale]

And this is the Second time, they fk ne over in regards to second stella. They are so picky about ppl obtaining a second Stella

[odd lynx]

Tying the ticketed events to leaderboards was a bad plan I think

[rain whale]

But I could buy EVERY WEEK a Vidar or Franklin

Reason?🤷🏼‍♂️

[torpid light]

Wormaramda, got 2000 parsteel and a kehra/vahklas bp from the chest, I’m L39. Would rather just a message thanking me for my participation. What a joke,

[odd lynx]

I do like trophies haha

[soft gazelle]

These events are Scopleys way of putting life and game back into balance. Events so bad you won't bother doing them and delete the game. Then bam! Balance

[uncut garden]

Also the power scaling for the worm armadas is a joke. 2 players w Saladins can kill a 32 with a death and half left on the other but 5 players in Saladin Cant kill a 35? Are you freaking kidding me?

[alpine lagoon]

Here I thought wife sucked the life right out of me. Well scopy you do a better job at that with this😂

[jaunty copper]

Anyone finding the alliance milestones a bit out of reach unless you drop $$$

[uncut garden]

Scopley way to single handedly ruin any good faith you had manage to establish with the decent February arc. This month is a garbage pail joke. First you tell us to score by taking damage and spending rss repairing. Now you tell us to kill worms but you nerf the spawn rate. You tell us to kill worm armadas but the power scaling is ridiculous and Un-playable, the background is a literal anus-nightmare, 1 of the 2 officers you gave us is quite literally useless. You give skins to epic ships that can make them look like a ship of a different type on the triangle which could confuse players. You bring back ticket events which were more or less universally derided. You launched an event yesterday that allowed scoring by doing worm armadas, but didn’t release the armada tokens (and then claimed oops, you don’t get to oops yourself. Do better). This entire month has been a CF so far and it’s 2 days into the arc. The milestones are absolutely out of reach unless you have a couple whales willing to carry you through them

[soft gazelle]

On the plus side I've barely played the last 2 days though

[chilly venture]

Only thing I disagree with is the "universally derided" ticketed events. I actually loved those last arc. Gave me nearly 100M Dili and gas unc / rare for MF scrapping. These were very good rewards for 5 minutes of my time. Nothing like current occurrence

[abstract gate]

Anyone done the math on how many alliance members need to buy extra tickets to get the last milestone for the rare projectile skin?

[rapid nova]

50 players all doing the armada one to completion can do it without purchases

[hexed turret]

Seriously scopely?

[cold hedge]

Was hoping to see a Coffin in the Event store

[toxic plover]

why that is worthless ship that can be unseated by any mid level Sally?

[cold hedge]

only because I do not have one

[abstract gate]

Much appreciated

[waxen galleon]

Yeah, this event blows.

[tacit coral]

3700 uncommons to pass the research event. That’s a joke.

[boreal hinge]

Does anyone know in the under 25 bracket if that ticket event works on all aramads or just doomsday?

[rapid nova]

that is assuming tomorrow and Friday's events have a 10 antiproton payout event

or are the same events

[kind roost]

at least improve the spawn rate to match the seperatist bosses for hostiles!

[waxen galleon]

Clicked on this by accident. The requirements are ridiculous.

Devs must be smoking crack.

[icy grove]

So everyone without that one officer is screwed right? Nice event ... not

[novel pelican]

There’s 10 event tickets wasted 🤣

[tough turtle]

Is there a different crew setup for worms other than PMC?
