Nice 2,6M augur cant properly kill 39 doomsday worm and need to get 1M points.

Killed on round 35 to 37 got 147k

[rich grove]

At my lvl 34 thats the only one I fancy doing 😂 (163k points needed to complete)

[last hamlet]

Are you joking?

Ops38

[alpine lagoon]

Your. Kidding right

Ops 38 it's. 1.1 mil💩

[rich grove]

163k points is doable, borgmadas deffo not, and don't fancy flushing my res down the toilet

[rich grove]

I'm not saying I like it 😜, I don't, but it's the only one I think I can do anyway

[ionic wren]

💩💩💩 well done

[tacit coral]

No chance I’m buying event tickets now, not when the require spending months of materials to complete like the research one. Devs have gone nuts

[young pike]

Let’s burn this discord 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[tacit coral]

Scopely is burning and smoking your money whilst laughing, so discord is a start

[young pike]

Scopely we know how bad you can be we don’t need reminders 😝

[serene raptor]

Way to feck up ticketed events. Nice rss last month, mega grind and shite rewards this month

[young pike]

Feel bad for anyone that bought ticket pack

[dapper drum]

welcome to scopley everybody

please enjoy your stay

[floral crag]

I think this has to go down as the worst update ever.

[solid quail]

How about actually spawning hostiles in the ticketed event systems? May need to do other things today not just waiting for one to pop up

[rough frost]

The requirements would been OK. With normal red dot.... Look like they forgot worms were 20 times stronger. 1 can kill 10 lvl 49 trader..... But barely 1 41 worm 😩

[kind roost]

You forgot about then racing to beat everyone else to the hostiles

[solid quail]

Nope, I have not forgotten... I just lost a race for both of those that showed up in the past half an hour

And the other two events are not much better, way too much resources wasted for pretty much no reward. So thanks Scopely, I give up for the day, enjoy my money that got me nothing

[waxen galleon]

Chalking it off to wasted tickets and avoiding this shitty event

[manic plinth]

So yeah all these events are rubbish, the doomsday armadas directives are ridiculous priced, they don't respawn quick enough, yesterdays planet killer left people you spend a lot on this game out as they didn't have the correct ship. Rss wasted are not worth the prizes at all.

[manic plinth]

I agree not doing these events not worth it.

[stray tide]

worst event ever💩

[elder gyro]

Why 96mil damage

Why not go for 46mil this is outrageous

[real bluff]

Any doomsday system will do doesn't have to be the ones marked with the armadas

[elder gyro]

We did 5 rares and bearly hit the first tier

[gilded patrol]

Serious bait and switch with the ticket event rewards. Bought the pack last arc because rewards were good, and now I'm stuck with leftover tickets for ridiculously difficult events with poor payouts.

[solid quail]

Thanks I’ll check it out

[solid quail]

Hard to event figure out what you are getting for the effort, three layers of tokens before anything usable is actually in your hands. Good tactics for getting people to quit the game

[gilded patrol]

The best of the three, the Armada one, gives about 7500 Neutronium (worth about 20 Uncommon G3) and 100 Salvage Parts at my level. Last arc that would've been 60 Apex Medals, 100 Salvage Parts, 15mil Dil, 36 G3 Uncommon, 9 G3 Rare, 206 G4 Uncommon, and 56 G4 Rare

[solid quail]

Thanks for calculating that

[tardy pawn]

The AMS is going to be pretty hard to clear for our server I think!

[restive inlet]

The AMS will be pretty hard for most ally who not spend much money for armada directives.

[ashen wharf]

[tardy pawn]

For my alliance it’s 1455 antiprotons between 74 peeps

[ashen wharf]

Thought you said why not spend for a second

lol

[agile jolt]

@tardy pawn that’s 20 per person, over 3 days, it’s doable

[tardy pawn]

Doable but requires a lot of participation

That’s why I said it could be pretty hard

[young compass]

Did anyone NOT get the doomsday armada directives gift chest?

[somber cedar]

These events are useless, the armada one is the most reasonable, but the research one for a lvl 39 wants you to spend 500 uncommon, and the killing worms one is basically suiciding dozens of ships against worms....I’m overpowered for my level and it’s unreasonable the amount of basically suiciding...last arc the events were all very doable and ok as you paid for tickets....here I’m debating paying for tickets at all as you still have a huge task even with tickets....

[ashen wharf]

well looks like your name doesnt ever fit scopelys mindset

and you bought tickets makes it funnier

🤣

[winged linden]

Did uh, you guys consider your naming conventions with regards to the graphical representation of these armadas?

you've got fissures...around a thing that looks like a giant space...poop chute

maybe one that ate something a bit too spicy

[abstract gate]

Hey @fresh peak if you are around please read this post above from Bulwark

[thorn relic]

Also, why does a “fissure” have shields?

[keen mist]

Gas cloud

[fresh peak]

So a few things.

First, we agree that the difficulty curve for some of these events is too high and we will adjust them going forward for the next runs. We started working on that already. As for the rewards, they are actually inline with previous arcs. Event store tokens are considered more valuable than the other resources since they provide a choice and allow to get some stuff that is not usually available elsewhere. We actually get this feedback every time we run an event store but that's been the case for a long time.

Lastly, we understand that despite all the hard work that went into this arc, many of you are not too happy with the events so far etc... That's obviously disappointing for us and as mentioned we are looking to make some changes.
Hopefully, the sentiment will change as some adjustments are made and new events are introduced (st patrick I hope will be liked 🙂 )

[arctic pollen]

so why do the ticket events give a different amount of token for the ally event? screw people who want to do different events?

5 vs 10 antiproton for a ticket is a big difference

[low stump]

If you get this feedback every time shouldn’t you start listening?!?! Getting sick of recruiting because mid to high level players quit in disgust

[last hamlet]

Spend my 4h to do 1.1M

[arctic pollen]

im still killing and start to think about ignoring the event

[last hamlet]

Augur hitting 39s ecplorers and 1.9m gladius 35 to 37

2 freaking ships doing whole night and cannot do daylies as need to go bed

[abstract gate]

Lets be honest here, a 1 day st patricks event isnt going to make up for the 💩 show that has been the whole tos arc.

[last hamlet]

Very truly balanced event lol scopely

[desert python]

Ty for appearing and answering.
Is anything gonna be done for today's? Or better bubble and save the tickets for another day?

[fresh peak]

by **whole **arc you mean the one and a half day that it has been out?

[arctic pollen]

too alte to save the ticket^^

[last hamlet]

And why ticket event dont include another ticket?

[waxen galleon]

Sorry, but this is a bad joke

[last hamlet]

What lvl are you?

[waxen galleon]

Refund 10 tickets por favor

[last hamlet]

How strong ship you have?

[arctic pollen]

and please dont add more armada directives...

[abstract gate]

Nope. Meaning the tos arcs that have been running since january.

[arctic pollen]

2 types are allready enough

[last hamlet]

4m iss uelly seemed to kill ayleast 42d

[arctic pollen]

killing 42s would be 480 kills 😄

[last hamlet]

Scopely why ticket event top prize dont include another ticket?

[desert python]

Lol, bubbling up will be

Nite all

[last hamlet]

Just spend 4h huntimg and ally doinc armadas which arent ablrvto join brcause my event did not givr another ticket

[velvet vine]

What the f do scopely think they’re doing. Had to spend 3345 UC 3* to complete a ticketed event.

[abstract gate]

Appreciate you coming here and giving us some answers. I dont see how 7500 neutronium (event store currency) to spend on choice reward is in line with rewards we had in previous ticketed events (worth about 55 000 neutronium). Choice can not be a reason for making rewards 80% less than they were few weeks ago.
But hey that is opinion and you can accept it or not and its completley your right to do so.
And for all of us I do hope some changes are coming in these events and that future events will change all of our view on Tos Arc part 3. None of us wishes to be unhappy players, we want to enjoy this game. As majority of us did in part 2. (Just give us that back😉).
Lets hope you listen and act on it👍

[velvet vine]

Thanks. I’ll have the 3000 UC 3* I had to spend to complete my ticketed event back please.

[pearl light]

I find the idea that people would rather have the choice of rewards from the event store a poor excuse to reduce the value of the ticketed events. To match the resources and materials that dropped from the last arc ticketed events we would need to see at least 50k of neutronium drop from each event now

[abstract gate]

We got 55 600 worth of stuff in each of 15 ticketed events. Now as we can choose what to get we got 15% of that. Thats harsh markup for choice

[pearl light]

I had already typed it as you posted James 😛

[abstract gate]

Well I am Slow

[last hamlet]

yes this arc is acfailure

[winged linden]

Like, ya'll at Scopley realize we know how to do math too right

[velvet vine]

When you work out the cost of doing the research event you realise why. The UC spend required is ridiculous

[last hamlet]

I have all ships but no iss yellyfish images

[arctic pollen]

but armadas give 10 and pve gring gives 5. ignore the research thats just nuts for high level

[hexed turret]

<@&509690795536941056> Four hours of straight farming and 400m trit down the drain... Even Rev made a video about this... What is scopely thinking... Absolutely greedy and rediculous

This is what i have to show for it... A wasted event ticket and a waste of rss

[last hamlet]

Theres nothing to buy other tjan crystals

[arctic pollen]

calculating the amount to kill costs seconds. how is this seen appropiate

[winged linden]

I'm looking forward to seeing what this new "Antiproton" currency sitting in my inventory gets me... 🙄

[abstract gate]

Expect 2500 neutronium in compesation chest @hexed turret tommorow...
As you can choose what to do with those, that should be worth 400 mil tritanium you spent so far

[hexed turret]

Lol

[velvet vine]

Yep. I won’t see my mats back

[hexed turret]

I needed a laugh, thats funny

[winged linden]

And the Repair Pack to reappear in the store

[peak charm]

I think Spock would be disappointed in Scopely’s logic😂

[abstract gate]

Neither will I...1840 g3 crystal, 1400 g4 ore, 455 rare g4 ore, 120 mil dil and 150 mil steel...and 18k lat for speed ups....
But hey at least I saved my tritanium😄

[arctic pollen]

the repair pack might be a permanent addition soon 😄

[winged linden]

I mean, we've got 4 more days of that awful event from yesterday/today

So I fully expect to see it pop up soon

[abstract gate]

If it helps, tommorow, if they dont change anything, should be even worse😄

[winged linden]

When they pulled the 500k Cultivated Mycelium pack from the store I said in my AC that we could expect to see it back in a new form, with 1/5th the amount for the same price.

[pearl light]

The thought of trying to kill 184 lvl 42 worms made my mind up very quickly .... time for an early night 🤣

[winged linden]

I'm glad Scopley didn't disappoint my expectations of their money grabbing

[solid quail]

And now imagine what it feels like when you can’t kill higher than 37...

[arctic pollen]

and the 35-36 systems are heavely overcrowded 😄 hard to even get a worm to attack 😄

[winged linden]

You've got to attack them, not the other way around

Might be part of your problem

[arctic pollen]

nah just bad writing on my part^^

[winged linden]

just a joke 🙂

[arctic pollen]

gets a bit hard to joke with an event like that 😄

[south arrow]

I like the response because you can pick the rewards you want were going to reduce the amount of rewards we will give you 🤣

[potent tartan]

joke events.. ticketed event rewards half what they were in last arc, cost to complete + grind is insane. Usual scopely bs

[tacit ruin]

The chest rewards for these lvl 39 armadas are hot garbage, great job scopely.

[knotty night]

Dumpster 🔥

[rich grove]

Well if we learn lessons from events we got: yesterday was an alltime low and we thought it couldn't get worse. But then we got today, so what will tomorrow bring I fear 😜

[agile pecan]

we shall see what the keep in the basement

[arctic pollen]

yesterday we were on the edge. now we are a step ahead 😉

[waxen galleon]

But it’s okay, because our disappointment in this arc events and rewards has hurt their feelings.....

[arctic pollen]

feels like doomsday overall^^

[waxen galleon]

The only thing they got right was the title of the arc

[ember walrus]

That was there yesterday

[rigid coral]

It's getting worse and worse 😱

[urban crown]

this arc is so 💩

[arctic pollen]

i will take a look but my guess is, that im saving the ticket and ignore this

[merry ledge]

Yea not participating in dooms day crud show.. lost cause no real rewards. Like even skins are unobtainable to the regular playets. Geared to the big boys w the $$$

[rich grove]

You know they could make this all right on April fools

"guys it was all a yoke, here take this 1 mil event store currency and 400 mil trit"

[arctic pollen]

not gonna happen

[deep steeple]

So the best part of the last arc for me was the ticketed events. This arc for me there rewards are much worse

[arctic pollen]

pick your reward went to pick your pain 😄

[upper knot]

It doesn't matter how good or bad this new content / events are. Make changes to TC so that it can be a dynamic part of the ENJOYABLE game experience. Nothing else matters until that happens.

[solid badger]

This event is worse then trying for a leader board with better rewards. Especially with the stranglehold on uncommon and rare mats. I don’t think I have enough research available to get this one done

[arctic pollen]

i dont need tc changes until they can fix the lag and this will take time

at least we get so much new systems that wont just go to waste after the arc

[bitter snow]

I did the math up front... Was tight but managed it, probably going for the hostiles or armadas for the next runs

[deep steeple]

Same with the combat one which I chose badly.. Before any ships count now I have to kill overcamped worms so took much longer

[upper knot]

Fixing the lag is super easy. Change the cool down for alliance jumping to 3 days AND only allow ships to enter a TC system during a TC if the player is part of an alliance that has paid to buy in. Fixed and no more lag.

[bright copper]

I usually dont bitch about the game in here but now Scoply needs to sober up. I need to kill like 100 iss jellys to finish one ticket event, spending like 400trit in repair costs. What is wrong with u guys, is your mission to bore us to stop playing or what?

[arctic pollen]

still cheap to spam the t1 zones

[gentle cobalt]

To be honest the skins look so bad, wouldn't even use them for free

[minor comet]

I've stopped over an hour of doing hostiles and not reached first milestone....they can go take a run and jump

[arctic pollen]

hostiles takes hour to finish and armadas are hard to start after the first 5 without paying money

[abstract gate]

People actually want to play a game, not whitewash your fence, Scopely.

That's a Huckleberry Finn reference for those that haven't read it. No movie yet.

[gentle cobalt]

Would save the free ones for when they probably change the events

[arctic pollen]

save the ticket if you still can

[bitter snow]

Looks like you need about 15 to finish armadas at 36, just need three people in the same boat and you're sorted

[arctic pollen]

if you can finish them. its damage done so have fun with stronger teammates^^

[abstract gate]

@fresh peak Read your post... hard to do when it's pinned, can't respond... , see where you're coming from... but c'mon. Who unleashed this on us? And why is it that there's this thinking that adding complexity is going to make the game more enjoyable? It means to stay competitive, it takes more time. C'mon.

[deep steeple]

Hostiles took me a couple of hours due to camping last time because any ship counted I completed in less than 30 mins as I could go to a quiet system

[arctic pollen]

the armada one would be the best but its still not taht easy

and you get double the amount for the ally event compared to hostile grind

[bitter snow]

Hostiles seems to give the worse payout for antiprotons, sadly

[arctic pollen]

worst payout and about 4h of grind^^

[pseudo rover]

There are a lot of things that are super easy but also can be cause for massive backlash from the community. Some alliances have diplomacy as their foundation, creating strength in numbers. That aspect would be nulled if they can no longer call on their allies. Restricting core game mechanics such as changing alliances to have a cooldown so extremely heavy, would restrict the freedom all other players now have due to the actions of a small portion.

We're having a lot of talks with the design team and we're pushing for transparency on these subjects so that we may all reach a closer form of mutual understanding. I would also like to invite everyone to post short, actionable feedback in our channels such as #💬-events-feedback as well. Think not only, how you feel on how things are currently but also what you'd like to see changed and why you think that'd be a better thing for all.

[arctic pollen]

and dont count the trit for repair cost^^

[bright copper]

At my work we are not allowed to do drugs or alcohol when working, maybe scoply should copy that rule

[cunning knot]

the hostile hunt and armada ticketed event today just felt like 1 it was to long to complete and 2 took to much effort to complete it more then normal ones

[abstract gate]

I mean, I would have preferred getting rid of these banner updates instead of skins. smh.

[arctic pollen]

nowon and the difference in token for the allyevent^^

[cunning knot]

huh?

[arctic pollen]

wanna farm hostiles? screw your allyevent

[cunning knot]

my other concern is why is the AMS giving rare directives and not rares big mouth directives lol

[arctic pollen]

armada ticket gives 10 antiproton hostile farm only 5

[deep steeple]

Just not liking any of these events. So disappointing after the last 2 arcs they've taken a massive backwards step

[bitter snow]

Different antiproton payouts, armadas best, followed by mat spend, with hostiles worst

[cunning knot]

oh i c

[tawny marsh]

but they all cost the same, people need to be compensated

[arctic pollen]

and not a little difference its 5, 8 and 10

[deep steeple]

I didn't notice the payouts I assumed it was the same

[tawny marsh]

10 tickets is 10 tickets is 10 tickets

[bitter snow]

So, if you don't go for armadas, potentially screwing over your alliance

[last hamlet]

And howcome if you make armads ticket needing 15 more players to chose ticket and do armadas so you can complete ticket, planet killing took 4h to do ops38, research ticket ain even worth the rewards and you dont give extra tickets as last milestone. Either for us there arent iss yellyfish bps at event shop. NOTHING TO BUY THERE other than uncos and rares

[cunning knot]

but i want to talk about this pack cool idea but if ur buying some for the team then u should get half the other 100 dollar pack which would be 180 not 60...

[arctic pollen]

for ticket events you dont even want to start right now 😄

[bitter snow]

Or at least, enough to get one whole event!

[meager galleon]

5x 70-75 is way more @cunning knot

[cunning knot]

well the other 100 dollar pack gives 360ish and that one is the same price should atleast give half

imo not many people are gonna buy it

[arctic pollen]

70 people is 350 so 410 in total 😄

[meager galleon]

Two of those packs gets everyone in your alliance another event ticket. On this I don’t agree there isn’t value compared to the individual pack considering the amount of tickets that can go out

[cunning knot]

i love love love the idea of that pack tho

[arctic pollen]

geat deal

[cunning knot]

just wish they were alittle more giving in that pack

[abstract gate]

These Doomsday ticketed events are stupid and hard. I can't believe I wasted a ticket on this garbage, and am glad I haven't spent any real money on any ticket packs. That is all. Good day

[arctic pollen]

an the pack is useless until someone buys a second for the ally 😄

[bitter snow]

Only a great deal of you get two of them bought in an alliance, otherwise that 5x70 is wasted entirely

[cunning knot]

should of been a 10 payout for alliance and a 180 for yourself, more people would buy it if that pack was like that

[bitter snow]

If it was 60 and 10, I'd be all over it to get the AMS done

[tawny marsh]

so far this arc is garbage

[vale hollow]

It’s better to quit than do this arc honest opinion, no more of my money robbing scopley

[cunning knot]

but idea of the pack is 100% great

[bitter snow]

Good ideas, iffy execution 👍

[cunning knot]

exactly

🤣 u guys are distracting me from posting my new video 🤣

[tawny marsh]

the quit stfc video ?

[keen ledge]

NO

[waxen galleon]

Hundred bucks for terrible items in the event store? I’m good.

[cunning knot]

no the i love this game video

[vale hollow]

@cunning knot if they keep this arc u wont have anyone to watch it lol

[meager galleon]

Nobody watches them anyway Nowon it’s okay

[keen ledge]

He isn't allowed to leave.

[tawny marsh]

we are all on board

[meager galleon]

https://tenor.com/view/dr-cox-giggling-happy-victory-smile-gif-7858617

[cunning knot]

jesus people are salty they need to shake that stuff off already

[arctic pollen]

just giving you new input for more videos 😄

[cunning knot]

if u hate the game so much how about you move on? im really tired of people just bad mouthing it and not being constructive

[vale hollow]

There are more people in happy and not willing to do this arc than i have ever see

[tawny marsh]

nah dude? 1000 kills for half the rewards for the same price

I'll be salty as a gym dyck

[vale hollow]

Last two arcs have been amazing just this one sucks

[spiral forge]

terrible ticket events for terrible event store items...

[arctic pollen]

well the backlash is so hard because people actually care about the game and wont just quit silently

[cunning knot]

meh its just a rough start, u can see the devs are listening theyll fix it they always do

[restive inlet]

Maybe a fair reward for killing hundreds of npcs? 🤔

[abstract gate]

New pack is out, woop woop! In order to leave feedback on this channel, you need to buy the $99.99 "Feedback Pack". It allows you to post a one time complaint here in Discord.

[tawny marsh]

compensation is what needs to happen

[deep steeple]

I really like the game I just think the events in this arc are horrendous. Last month was so much better

[vale hollow]

No there not, they never listen unless u make videos for them and get the people behind u to push them

[arctic pollen]

maybe they just want to promote repair cost reduction research with this? 😄

[vale hollow]

Thank u its always more costly to get the rewards for what u win

[waxen galleon]

Fixing it tomorrow doesn’t fix the ticket loss today.

[abstract gate]

@waxen galleon You made that very valid complaint, but haven't bought the $99.99 Feedback Pack yet...

[deep steeple]

Photon tokens could help ease the pain

[arctic pollen]

getting it fixed till tomorrow? i dont think so

maybe made to be finished easily at best

[tawny marsh]

@waxen galleon holy shtt

dude what ops level is that?

[abstract gate]

also the amount of paid content per arc is getting more and more

[waxen galleon]

Not going to spend a bil trit for a crew print.

[tawny marsh]

so basically it's supposed to be 1000 killa

[vale hollow]

Sorry scopley no longer want the poeple that dont have 100k to spend per arc

[tawny marsh]

insanely stupid

[merry fulcrum]

And you don't have to

[tawny marsh]

nope not even buying the bp

didn't buy it last time either

[merry fulcrum]

Nice, good for you

I'm free to play so Im cool

What is given for free to plays is still more than what they gave in previous arcs

[tawny marsh]

my alliance is mini whale group and 80% didn't buy it either

[merry fulcrum]

So yeah, I'm fine with it

[abstract gate]

@cunning knot "It's a rough start" is pretty apologist. No sane designer would have let this out in the wild.

[merry fulcrum]

New ams event gives 4 rares per person

[tawny marsh]

shows how bad content has become

[merry fulcrum]

You want new stuff it's new stuff

[abstract gate]

@tawny marsh Well, let's be serious, there's not content as much as there is added complexity and more stuff to do daily.

Content should never be confused with complexity.

[merry fulcrum]

Trying new ideas doesn't always mean it's a guaranteed success

[tawny marsh]

diarrhea is also new stuff

I don't want it in game either

[vale hollow]

I dears to think of there app reviews with this arc now, i cant believe i got friends to play this with what there doing now, time to rethink going back to my old game its still a lot cheaper for better rewards and not as much pushing to buy

[merry fulcrum]

Cool, and this is scopely seeing what is nice

If scopely never tried new stuff we'd still be getting Mega miner and battle for glory

[last hamlet]

Yes planetary killing has to stop or increse points given by 35 to 37s

[abstract gate]

My new Discovery skin is really nice though. No functionality, but I only had to spend $400 on the Visa to get it

[merry fulcrum]

Point being were getting new stuff with better payouts, some you won't like and some will be worthwhile, while others will stick and be demanded as future content

[last hamlet]

Others are darn hard to kill

[vale hollow]

Nothing has been worthwhile in this one yet, and i dont normally get my back up on here about arcs

[merry fulcrum]

New ams is great

[abstract gate]

The second people stop playing long enough to gripe on the STFC discord, things are beyond 'aww shucks'.

[merry fulcrum]

4 rares per person, if you've got 70 people in your alliance that's 280 rares

[tall bluff]

I'm still one ticket short which has yet to be fixed. And definitely not offered in this Battlepass Event. When will this be fixed?

[merry fulcrum]

280 double chests with about 30 uc, officer xp, speed ups and bps

[solid badger]

Almost all my researches are days long. So big hit on speed ups.and I don't want to burn unc/rares up totally on research.

[restive inlet]

Maybe scopely should change the gameplay and not events with „new content“ 😆

[abstract gate]

New Stuff:

[hexed gorge]

I like this new event 😜

[random tide]

I think that's the point of the frustration "they always do". Would it really have been that hard to see that their worm kill math doesn't work. Or their armada hull damage math. Or maybe make the armada rewards better than like 8k parsteel? Or maybe people don't have thousands of unc and rare lying around ready to drop on research? Like come on. How many times they gotta mess up, learn, and fix to get it right once.

[abstract gate]

One day after jelly event 👍

@Gobbles exactly. If they learned from previous ones, we wouldn't be here now. There's a serious disconnect.

[arctic pollen]

no change to the last arc would be better and way more time efficient for the devs 😄

[abstract gate]

I'm having more fun here than in STFC right now. Was that the intention?

Can I haz discord packs?

[arctic pollen]

ticket events could have stayed the same

[abstract gate]

I'm not even sold on ticket events.

[arctic pollen]

last one for free was nice a need a lot of steel and got it there

[abstract gate]

@arctic pollen Yeah, that was the hook. That was the crack dealer saying, "Hey try this". They call it bait and switch.

[random tide]

Yup. Ticket events last time may have been a taaad too easy. But at least I could finish them in a reasonable time. Yes I know they said they will fix it. But what about all the people in the alliance that won't complete a ticket event because of the difficulty and then we don't complete AMS because of it.

[arctic pollen]

thats why i dont pay in advance anymore^^

im not into gambling

[cunning radish]

Am I reading the new ticket events properly? Research one gives way more event store credits ?

[arctic pollen]

yes but no recruit token

[abstract gate]

@random tide Exactly. These mistakes just allow some to be more competitive than others while all we get is 'aww shucks', MAYBE a silly chest with a silly reward, and an expectation that it will happen again in the near future.

[random tide]

Yeah, I'm not trying to dump on them. I REALLLLLLY like bullet skins. Like I am stoked to eventually maybe get the purple torpedoes on my augur. And the ship skin idea is awesome just me being picky hoping I was gonna get like a black augur. Not some paper plate with tubes. But thats from the show. Im sure more skins will drop.

[uncut garden]

The fact that every single arc we have a rough start that they have to compensate for later, maybe they aren’t listening to us enough. They’re like an abusive relationship. It starts off good, then gets bad then they promise to fix things and do and we praise them. And then they turn around and screw us over again and then we beg them to change so they do for a bit etc etc etc.

The last arc should be a template from which they just change the types of enemies we kill. Literally copy last arc to this arc payout wise but give us the event store and everything works out great. But no. They give us bad events with even worse payout and then tell us that becuase we get a choice in rewards they nerf the currency for rewards. God forbid everyone can participate and buy any event item they want without having to spend real money

[random tide]

It just sucks when they mess up like this because it takes away everything they did right.

[uncut garden]

Like I just said we’re being treated like the abused spouse in a marriage

[random tide]

You're only as good as your last mistake

[uncut garden]

Literally last arc was all praise other than the ticket event

[random tide]

I liked the ticket event last arc.

[uncut garden]

@random tide what have you done for me lately. And lately nothing but bend us over dry and tell us to say we like it

[cunning knot]

100% agree on the last few arcs should be a template for arcs coming in the future, yes they should of learned from there mistakes.

[random tide]

I spent a 100 bucks to get all tickets. Got way more back from those events than a normal 100 would get me

But the tickets this event....40k neutronium for all 3 today? Um... thats peanuts

[uncut garden]

There’s def a contingency that don’t like the idea of gating events you need to help participate behind what’s basically a paywall. Sure they give us enough....for now. Why should I trust them to always make sure everyone can do an event everyday without paying? I have no reason to trust any of their decisions

[tawny marsh]

yeah tickets are terrible this arc

[uncut garden]

And absolutely. If they’re going to make the ticketed events crap this time and they’re so much harder to do, the stuff we win should equal or eclipse what we earned last time. But last time I’d argue they actually got the events right first try

[cunning knot]

they should of just gave us the rss like that last arcs ticketed events i loved loved loved that

[random tide]

Eh. I was ok with the 1 free pay for 2 more. But that was when the rewards were good. For this arc, the 1 free and pay for 2 is a little rough to take in.

@cunning knot yup. Just said the same sentiment up a little. I'd rather have the res from last event than the neut

[uncut garden]

I don’t trust them to always give us 1 free event every day down the road. There are so many broken promises that why should I expect them to have our interests in mind ever

[cunning knot]

its on a schedule now so everyday theres a ticketed event youll get a ticket in ur chest box

[abstract gate]

Ah that’s why they chopped them down and made them worthless

Could there be any less worms between 27 and 38 for this ticketed event. Why am I not surprised

[random tide]

Scopley is good about giving a little lead on the leash. If you look at all that has happened from a monetary stand point. It makes sense. Harder events means more time in game. Means more likely to spend. Either to make an event easier or skip the event. They just keep aiming too high on difficulty.

[urban crown]

https://tenor.com/view/dono-wall-talking-wall-bricks-gif-17741481

It's like talk with a wall

[uncut garden]

Except they’ve made it exceptionally clear, in writing, that their mission is to have players find a game/life balance and find ways to not make us grind 4+ hours a day each day playing. They’ve gone on record

[arctic pollen]

maybe they calculated the worms like normal hostiles 😄

[halcyon depot]

Only thing I wonder is we have to have level 34 ships which some of us don’t have yet but close. But offer all these crappy BP for ships that are antique. Jelly, franky, Vidar , BB , had these for a long time and many worthless things to choose from like modules and things we all have maxed. Also they know we need the level 34 ships and offer one BP for 21 k neutrons, and don’t get me started on can’t do the alliance stuff as an active solo player. So neutrons are far and few between. Just expressing my disappointment .

[arctic pollen]

and the 34 shipparts are limited by 20 per event shop^^

[rose sphinx]

Just disappointed in how the ticketed events are so out of whack.

[halcyon depot]

Ya I’m already so far behind the whales. What’s a few more months.😂😂

🐳🐳🐳🐳🐳🐳🐳. And me.... 🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠

[quasi harbor]

Silly question are 5 getting 5 directives a day per ticketed event for worms or just the 5 then buy?

[narrow pendant]

Anyone know if the payout for the ticket events will get better each day. Otherwise the alliance I joined today to help with a territory capture will not come anywhere near the AMS totals beyond T3

[tardy pawn]

How many alliance members do you have, and how many points do you need?

[narrow pendant]

About 60 members as a lot of the supporters managed to get back to my home alliance before the event reset. I'm still under 8 hour cool down so I'm stuck 🤣

If its like Apex events I know it will ramp up on days 2 and 3 but if its not then the only way this alliance speeds up is money

[modern estuary]

man the kill worms ticketed event at ops 39 is a horrific grind

the 35 system takes forever the 38 needs warp tokens and the 40 is too hard

what bright spark thought adding warp tokens was a good idea?

the 36 and 39 systems have a poor respawn rate

so far i hate this arc

[modern estuary]

form a fleet if you can have 5 members inc yourself if each of you use your tokens thats 25 you can hit

[quasi harbor]

You misunderstood the question i got 5 free directives today with event tokens is that being issued daily or a 1 time deal.

[merry schooner]

Seems like scopely wants us to waste our trit and dilitium on these ticket events. Wish I didn’t spend the money on these tickets if the events are gonna cost more than they give

[modern estuary]

yeah i had tickets left over from last arc so used them but not worth killing worms grind is too obsurd

[modern estuary]

oh probably 1 time

very disappointed by this arc.. doomsday such as stupid idea

TOS was more than just 1 episode

if anything the TOS kirk/Khan saga would have been more entertaining

or kirks deep seated hatred of klingons

[astral tiger]

Any updates on getting tickets refunded for today? Or tweaking the milestones?

[modern estuary]

as punishment for such a bad arc idea the events team should be made watch every Star Trek TOS episode

doomsday was 1 episode and 1 machine there were no worms

[simple venture]

Idk why but it automatically completed itself

[modern estuary]

it did for everyone

[simple venture]

I see

[modern estuary]

cos noone could reach the system

[hidden socket]

Doomsday Worms is very poorly calibrated. Impossible to complete without wasting an enormous amount of time, rss, and speed ups. This is a must-fix.

[inner ermine]

don't do worms lol

[modern estuary]

they could have at least made worms drop rare particles as an insentive to do it

[abstract gate]

scopely were kind and autocompleted the darkspace bit

[timid mica]

Well I will likely not bother with any of the ticketed events with this battle pass. Wasted enough time on the worm one just to get the first level. This arc may prove to warrant bottom box reviews. Complete fail.

[modern estuary]

im 2 hours with 3 epics and only just got to milestone 2

[inner ermine]

not cool

[timid mica]

May spend my time playing another game till this poorly designed battle pass, passes.

[inner ermine]

the kill my self for points killed me

[modern estuary]

i rate this by far the worst arc yet

[inner ermine]

im still doing the ark im just ignoring every thing else

[hidden socket]

I’d have to kill about 300 lvl 40 worms to finish the event, madness.

[inner ermine]

battle pass is seprate

[pine cedar]

Really, Scopely?!?!?

[fresh peak]

just to post it here too:
We heard you loud and clear. We will adjust the difficulty down on most of the ticketed events going forward. Will share more info tomorrow but we heard your feedback, agree with it and will make changes.

[tawdry kindle]

Amen to that; this is just a single run with a near T8 augur;

So ~18 augur repairs later i might complete it, if i get lucky with the hostile spawns; not to mention the 18x traveling times too, yaaaawn🙈

@twilit imp

[radiant marten]

%100 agreement

I'm lvl 34,no32 ship or epic... How many days of event currency am I to be denied/ excluded from?

[wary oxide]

This is more offensive than it is clever

[radiant marten]

Correct👀

[quaint river]

Is anyone able to confirm that if I choose the 10 chest option that I am guaranteed 10 shards? It's a lot to burn otherwise.

[radiant marten]

They never do well,trying to be clever

[wary oxide]

Pretty sure they just broke their own terms of service. <@&509691205798592532>

[quasi harbor]

Are we getting 5 more directives for the worm armadas in every ticket chest?

[urban lotus]

yes, those chests are not random rolls. You get the listed amount for each purchase

So 10 chests = 10 shards

Make note of the "Guaranteed" below it

If it says that, you will always get what's listed with it

When it says "Chance" is when it's random

And sometimes they sell packs that have some things guaranteed with other things chance

More info than you asked for but I figured I'd preoffer it

[quaint river]

More info is always good.

[radiant marten]

So, anybody calculated how much event currency I miss out on by not having an epic or 32 ship at lvl 34? Or even how many of us are affected?

I mean,watching all the content creators vids,one could be forgiven skipping a lvl 32 ship is as an accepted mechanic as dual faction & faction lock... its been years since they made a vid on building one& they've all said don't do it,so... wheres our compo box then?

[elder gyro]

Mayflower was my woman then was the Sally

Why skip them max them then scrap them

[robust vapor]

Scrap the 32's? Because you baby scrap them into level 46, and in the meantime it's a lot of credits and materials that could go towards an epic ship instead (that's really not that far away at that point) 🤷‍♂️

[radiant marten]

I ain't getting to 42...ever ... this game will fold before then unless they wake th hell up

[radiant marten]

Can you name a content creator," official" or otherwise who did not advocate skipping 32s?

They are endorsed by $copeley,promoted by $copeley ... spruiking $copeleys product, don't forget

[brittle horizon]

Not getting AMS rewards, despite alliance completing 2 tiers. Do I have to earn points for the event(antiprotons) before getting rewards?

[wary oxide]

I think so. That’s how other events work.

[crisp current]

Yes

[brittle horizon]

Do I get all tiers completed or only newly completed tiers going forward?

Once I earn a point I mean

[wary oxide]

Not sure. COW I don’t think you get previous rewards but other events you do

[brittle horizon]

Thanks

[minor wren]

Also last arc you didn't have to kill doomsday hostiles, armadas, etc for the ticketed events. You could attack any hostile.

Needing to attack doomsday armadas is a pathetic waste of time. Wow, I get 2,013 parsteel! Yay! At least have them give some reasonable payout

[wide girder]

Wow. The worm event is annoyingly unachievable and now I learn I've lost out on alliance event awards too.

This arc isn't really heading off to a great start is it.

[cosmic sage]

You should get previous rewards when you get a point.

Most alliance events say you won't get already completed tiers but you get them anyway.

[wide girder]

Tnx. Will give it a check now.

[rugged zenith]

For the second day the events are junk. These new worm armadas have absolute trash for loot. Very very disappointing

All the ticketed events are an awful awful grind.

[modest lichen]

It's official. This event is 100% terrible. You need the 1k directives to complete the ticket event. Not gonna happen. Guess I'm not participating thus arc.

Battle pass only.

[cosmic sage]

I didn't bother with ticketed events last time except for the server milestone board. I only care this time for alliance milestone, otherwise I wouldn't bother.

I had no issues completing the ticketed armada event with the free directives.

Just need to run armadas with alliance members and you join and host.

[rugged zenith]

It’s something like 10-35s. The loot is awful. It’s like 5 or more full repairs.

[abstract gate]

These worms are so much harder to kill... Way not worth the payout on the ticketed events. No way.

My jelly and Kelvin die waaaay too often to make any of it worthwhile.

[rugged zenith]

No unc rares or resource rewards. This is insulting.

[cosmic sage]

You get event store currency for alliance milestone

[abstract gate]

Par for a reward too. Wowww.. this is Borgmada Redux

[rugged zenith]

The last iteration of ticketed events was better.

[abstract gate]

Wayyy better

[dapper drum]

people still whining about not being able to do events because they out levelled their capabilities 😂

[rugged zenith]

Oh great you can spend millions in trit and hours in repairs for 1 ToS Kirk shard a day.

[abstract gate]

Yeah. No thanks.

[rugged zenith]

No but I appreciate your uninformed judgment

[dapper drum]

aww so I missed the salt I needed for my fries

[cosmic sage]

Oh I spent hundreds of millions yesterday. Thousands of 30 minute speedup. Unless you have a plan to unlock epic kirk before the store ends I would get something else.

[vast pendant]

This is the worst arc since the flash events. Did well yesterday because no one knew how to crew ships for death, spent way more in repairs for small points in the event, terrible! This event store is awful considering the ticketed events don’t pay materials. This game just became even more grindy, it’s going to be finished if they keep this up. Thanks Scopely 🙏 for convincing me that I should never spend another dollar or a hundred on this laggy, glitchy, grind-fest! $99.99 for doomsday armada tokens!?!? Real easy to pass on that pack!

[teal vine]

Enterprise,jelly and augur in non stop grind mode ..still haven’t finished the worm hostile ticket ...

[elder gyro]

Dude tf is your deal dont push your stereotypes on others

[whole burrow]

What am i missing? 4th time support tell me that new arc started at 1:21 am

Mail to [e-mail] also didnt help

Anyone know where I can escalate this before quitting the game?

[humble siren]

So the battlepass started before the maint?

[humble siren]

The real treasure is in the chests. I got 50 officer xp and a horizon bp! 👍 👍

[robust vapor]

I'm going to assume that they meant pm 🤔

[whole burrow]

No, they wrote 4 times same thing

And anyway event started around 4 pm not 1pm

[robust vapor]

And people are stupid. That's 4 hours after maintenance started if they meant pm, which is more plausible. But if it started at 4pm, sounds like they're claiming you hit 40 from 5pm anyway?

I don't think it was that late though. 4pm would have been 🤔 3am for me it think, I'm sure stuff was up before in went to bed though (which would have been a couple hours before then).

[rain badger]

so, they screwed us with the tickets again? made us buy the ticket pack with nice event rewards and the promise we could use tickets in the next arcs and then switched to all bullshit rewards and mindless grind events? Should have expected this though...

and 4 winning slots on the auction event? seriously?

[dapper drum]

early access growing pains

pay it to win it

buy 2 or 3 packs and do th epics

5 epics per 100$ is 48,000 points

[robust vapor]

They're going to adjust the events @rain badger

[dapper drum]

doesn't mean they will adjust rewards and leaderboards

should only be 1 spot for rewards 1st place

[robust vapor]

Meh. It's a leaderboard. If you're upset about not winning in a leaderboard then you're playing the wrong game 🤷‍♂️

[dapper drum]

all prize tiers should be consolidated into 1 and given to 1st

get some real competition going on thats worth the fight

[robust vapor]

I wouldn't mind some participation trophies 😴
But I think servers would break out into war if you gave only 1st place a prize 😬

[rain badger]

Well, it will reduce spending if only the same 4 guys with the black amex will get any rewards

[dapper drum]

😈

[abstract gate]

Gotta say, the event etc and everything is alright. Takes some effort and coordination with your alliance mates so everybody can complete there armada ticketed event and gotta make sure that people put their own greed aside at the start so everybody can complete it.
The difficulty of the ticketed events could be adjusted (for armadas) but that is mainly that the uc armada dont have enough hull health to make fast progression.

Rewards wise, last arc was significantly better for the ticketed events, the choice of going for parsteel, trit or dilithium daily was heaven and now you kinda miss that. Do need to say that the rewards for the AMS are spot on (rare armada directives) and very much appreciated. If you look at the exchange rate of the neutronium for the parsteel/trit/dili tokens, I think there is a massive mismatch there, but the thing you have now is that you more possibility to spend it on something you really need.

All in all.. im in dubio about the rewards, its definitely good, but some aspects could be better. Difficulty wise, what borg event showed first, teamwork within the alliance is way more important with these events than solo stuff.

[glossy veldt]

Anyone else noticed that the g3 ship refit event is giving the wrong amount of points per mats for some people, I was told it’s a known bug, is this true?

[raw zenith]

It’s been giving me correct number of points.

[vocal crater]

Hi 😊 someone can tell me how to take the new directives? the first 5 were given to us as a gift, but the next ones?
I mean, avoiding taking the paid package, is there a way to have them for free?

[glossy veldt]

I just used 680 rare gas and should have gotten 102k points, my score went up from 330k to 360k

[raw zenith]

What did you do that required 680 rare gas

[glacial aspen]

Plz don’t do the ticket event, it’s a big scam. Loose a lot and get nothing back

[glossy veldt]

A g3 ship upgrade

[halcyon patio]

Someone said, this arc is PAY or DON'T PLAY, might be right 😄

[gentle cobalt]

When you think the cost of common 4* mats is the biggest money grab this new arc is like a tier up for scopely 😂

[tawdry wind]

The duration is 20 days, and the outcome is +100% fooling the players?

[gentle cobalt]

Worst arc ever but still room to make it worse

But hey we can change the color of the battle animation and change the ships to low resolution 👍

[warped dove]

we can't rename ships

[gentle cobalt]

Suggest it during next survey, sounds like a good content for a pack

[tawdry wind]

Pay for rename tokens

[warped dove]

Khaaaaannnnnnn!!!

lol

[tawdry wind]

Although naming something uss butt may be worth it

Imagine complaining that someone is hitting you with their butt 🤣

[warped dove]

or naming your Enterprise A just Enterprise may be just confusing for your oppenents lol

[tawdry wind]

Name it realta

Can see the similarities, name kehra as phindra, kumari as talla, ent A as ent, turas as realta, G3 faction miners as horizon, NS as horizon

[warped dove]

or name a Vahklas D'vor because of the color lol

[tawdry wind]

Yea,

[warped dove]

Or enterprise turas

[tawdry wind]

Turas does kinda look like the nx-01 enterprise

Oh noes, did I just give scopley a skin idea

[warped dove]

TRUE TRUE TRUE

[dusky vector]

Very true

[fathom shuttle]

From what OPS level do we get rare/epic worm armada directives?

[warped dove]

Please don't think it isn't a paywall, because it is a paywall

[fathom shuttle]

I cant even buy them. i would but I cant

[tulip lodge]

Dupont was the main reason I was looking forward to this event store...

Really hope he shows up at some point

[warped dove]

I want TOS scotty

[tulip lodge]

I'm a Space farmer, gotta get that protected cargo 😅

[warped dove]

I am a space traveler, gotta get the warp range

Do Joaquin as captain, Otto for the synergy and T'pring

[tulip lodge]

I want a second miner with decent protection.

[fathom shuttle]

Okay I just found out they use the same directives. FFS. I could swear that when I checked yesterday they were different. FML

[tulip lodge]

Tpring is on my antares, want more protection on my Kvort/Horizon was well

[gentle cobalt]

Give me a max lorca and max killy 😂 mining is boring

[teal vine]

This arc is just some days old...excitement turned into tiredness already

[abstract gate]

Why is the worm killing event providing less antiprotons than the other two ticketed events?

I am disadvantaged in the SLB event because I haven't seen this when I have first chosen it

[warped dove]

because it costs more

I think

[abstract gate]

It costs exactly the same.
, 10 event tickets

[teal vine]

For me the the research one grants the most ...but at the same time is impossible to finish for me xD

[warped dove]

for me it is the armada one

[warped dove]

no I mean doing it

[abstract gate]

It grants the same amount of antiprotons as the armada one. It gives more event currency which is ok

[teal vine]

Armada was done relatively quick ... hostile one took me several hours

[tacit granite]

worms done that was a slog. if they just increased the spawn rate in Nya Tumm system it would be a lot easier

[abstract gate]

Why one event has lower rewards than the rest? It's unfair for the players and the alliances

[warped dove]

hostile one took me not very much time more than the normal hostile hunt

But I have a Vi'dar so maybe that makes a difference

[teal vine]

Needed 3m points ...higher level worms are impossible to crack for my jelly

[warped dove]

is it a jelly or an ISS Jelly?

[teal vine]

So I low grinded with augur, ent and d4

[abstract gate]

Armada one gives 10 antiprotons and worm one gives 5. This means 10k less score in SLB, which in turn means that I get no reward

[teal vine]

Iss

[warped dove]

it's alliance leaderboard

not solo

[abstract gate]

There is also a solo leaderboard event where these antiprotons are the main way of scoring

[warped dove]

Not for me, there is Alliance Milestone and Alliance Leaderboard

[pure garnet]

A solo leader board, where only the Top20 get rewards... 🤬 😤

[warped dove]

🎵 you gotta be a whale whale whale to finish that that that 🎵

[abstract gate]

No, you have to pick the armada event💩

[restive inlet]

Lucky you, for me only top 7 gets rewards...

[warped dove]

or you have to have tickets saved from previous event

[pure garnet]

whaleish, as always 🐳

[warped dove]

In that aspect, I am a whaler lol

I hunt whales

[fathom shuttle]

Top 7 only here too and if you don't do all 3 events no way you get close to that

or you have someone to carry you through many rare Wormadas. Then maybe too

[warped dove]

Why you call it wormadas, they don't look like worms. Doomsdaymadas is a better name

[dapper drum]

they are doomadas

or hemroidas

[quick sand]

Doomadas

[warped dove]

Or just armadas lol

[quick sand]

for us at LCARS ... !doomada is simpler that using !doomsday fissure armada ... just armada is too generic

[warped dove]

but the rewards are crap anyway

[quick sand]

For example borgmada, muddmada, anomada, and terrimada

40+ pay officer recruit shards

[warped dove]

or what about [roguemada]

[quick sand]

we suport aliases ... those are the main ones used by the community

there will always be edge cases, like you

[warped dove]

on my server we use roguemadas

[stark marsh]

What is the point of putting a reward on last stage of elite battlepass if it is gonna be that 💩

We are still repaying the 4* epic gas we got given in arc1

Plus, this whole arc is really poor so far. Quality and content on slippery slope it feels

[robust niche]

Worms event was outrageously difficult.

[lethal arch]

why was it difficult, smashy smashy your ship over and over 🤣

[robust niche]

7.66m points when you can't even complete it

Not without billions in rss costs

[earnest quartz]

👎

[lethal arch]

kit you didnt figure out the right crew I guess

[tardy pawn]

If you’re in alliance you should be picking the armada event ticket, full stop.

Unless you know you can finish the research ticket.

[robust niche]

I had all 3

Guess not frags

[tardy pawn]

Well if you have the tickets go for it.

[lethal arch]

I finished the event with two hits.. and I won #2 fairly easily kit. 10 million per hit

[tardy pawn]

If you only have one though... do not pick hostiles 🖖🏻

[robust niche]

No kidding duece

Fragile mine was 7.66m points

[bitter snow]

Fraggle, not sure if they're talking about the die quick, die often, or the worms ticketed event?

[lethal arch]

oh

[robust niche]

Worm ticket

[bitter snow]

Yeaaah, you know - todays event 🙂

[lethal arch]

Shrug I didnt do that one, better rewards for armadas

[robust niche]

Worm one is impossible for life 40s

[bitter snow]

And by event, I mean "maths failure" 🙂

[ashen briar]

Work is easy at 33, only 14 kills. Made up for the day before

[bitter snow]

don't worry guys, we got another two days of it, then 2 more 3 day runs this arc 👍

[cunning radish]

they will prob make it easier

they said

[bitter snow]

Fingers crossed they get out a rebalance pushed out for this evening's runs

[lethal arch]

yeah I figured they would adjust so only used tickets on the armada event

[bitter snow]

I did research, saving directives to see what the rare ones bring today

[tardy pawn]

Today’s event will be station upgrades instead of research.

Then ship upgrades tomorrow.

[lethal arch]

I certainly feel great that I didnt buy tickets 🤣

[bitter snow]

yeah, but for 34+ there's an option (apparently it's an option) to do rare pile removal...

So if that gives better AP payouts than the UC event, I'll be on that instead

[lethal arch]

I think rev deuce is going to have a seizure in his next video

[somber cedar]

The research one was also not good....large amount of unc to c9mplete a ticketed event...not worth it

[left shore]

Spending cash to buy tickets, and one option is to kill 675 to above 1000 worms or spending 3850 uncommon g3 /g4 gas, crystal or ore on research, plus the added costs of several 100s of millions in either dill, steel or trit? Plus the added speedups or latinum costs.. No these events are just getting worse. Close the tos arc 3, give rewards, or rework the events. This aint happening scopely..

[abstract gate]

Is anyone else seeing these systems where random ships are just firing constantly at basically nothing? If you notice in the picture there is a ship mining a node and constantly firing into space. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[worn zodiac]

Is there a different way to get event tickets for the daily events this time? I don't see them in the battlepass like last arc.

[dire veldt]

every day ticketed events run we should get a gift chest with 10 tickets

[worn zodiac]

Gotcha. Thanks for the info!

[cunning radish]

aw man store got updated limited 10 discovery and stella bps 😦

[desert laurel]

10x chests, but stella has more than one bp in a chest

[teal vine]

So true

[south arrow]

Yep I knew scopley would find a way to mess them up

[fathom shuttle]

Massive Mistake to make the Armadas part of SLB....

Alliances with the biggest players just boost ALL their players in all brackets.

Was grinding green armadas and hostiles for f*cking hours to get top3 and it is gone in a few minutes,

[teal vine]

Haha yeah .. if they run epic or rare they’ll blow right past ya

[edgy juniper]

where is dupont?

[fathom shuttle]

Exactly my point

I should have of course known it better. Any events that involve points for armadas done are useless to compete in as SLB.

[winged tulip]

is failmada aliased to borg or wormadas?

[glossy veldt]

This is definitely the worst arc ever, and I always somehow hear that sentence in the voice of comic book guy

https://tenor.com/view/itools-worst-event-worst-event-ever-gif-19294852

[winged tulip]

I tend to look at the number of places in a leaderboard before i bother, as someone that won't spend money or grind for 24 hours to win. Anything with less than 10 places is instant miss, and i'm unlikely to bother with top 25. Doomsday machine SLB is 7 places so big nope, and ship skin SLB is 4 places, massive hard nope.

[fathom shuttle]

Yea the refit event is also massive BS. Why does everything nice and new have to be locked away behind these stupid auctions?

[winged tulip]

Auctions are for when scopely are too greedy to even sell packs for something new. And some auctions are disguised as SLBs..

[fathom shuttle]

What happened to just letting people grind stuff and the ones who want to pay can buy a shortcut

[dapper drum]

get bigger team mates

leaderboards are always gonna have a pay to win feature 9/10 times

[fathom shuttle]

@dapper drum let me jsut quickly grab my magic lantern

[dapper drum]

100$ is 48000 points

if you can take down the lvl 50 epics

[fathom shuttle]

It is a SOLO Leaderbord. Should not matter how strong my teammates are.

[dapper drum]

and its alongside an ALB

[fathom shuttle]

Yes. I don't mind the Armadas counting in the ALB

But they have no place in the SLB

[dapper drum]

would rather it be in both

[fathom shuttle]

Nope

[dapper drum]

then to be forced to compete in an ALB just for the ALB

[fathom shuttle]

But that nmakes the SLB pointless

so they can just leave it out

[dapper drum]

exactly so no need for SLB at all then

so why complain?

[fathom shuttle]

Yes

[dapper drum]

do it or don't

might as well remove SLB for domination events as well

and faction hunt

[fathom shuttle]

Because I have to try at least otherwise I am even more at a disadvantage next time around-

SLB faction hunt?

[dapper drum]

well then try to get in with better players

[fathom shuttle]

Therei s no SLB in faction hunt.

[dapper drum]

yeah no point having faction hunt SMS if there is an ALB for it

this is your logic

[fathom shuttle]

SMS is something different

[dapper drum]

SMS can be completed with tiering up ships for ALB

[fathom shuttle]

And?

It is a solo player doing something

so perfectly fine

[dapper drum]

your logic dictates that solo events should be grind only

[fathom shuttle]

Not grind only

they shoudl not be team dependant

[dapper drum]

in a game that relies heavily on SLBs for income

this is a team game

go solo and you go nowhere

[fathom shuttle]

What part of SOLO do you not get?

[dapper drum]

and the armada is the pay to win part

that you don't get

just because its in ALB its unfair to you

people could be spending on armadas for the solo and not care about ALB

that 1701 avatar is mighty tasty looking

[knotty niche]

Where do I get rare fissure directives?

[fathom shuttle]

I don't mind pay2 win events even if I dont like them.
I do mind if something is disguised as grind event and then there is this plain retarded armada backdoor allowing players to score out of this world in a SOLO event because they get boosted by their rich friends.

[wide girder]

Put rare and epic uranium in the event store. It's an absolute pain in the arse to grind for it.

[gentle cobalt]

Don't fight each other, the problem are those who make a research ticket event that needs the uc 3* of 3-4 packs😂

[waxen sedge]

You are able to check the requirements for the event before joining it though. If you don't have the materials, don't join.

[agile pecan]

I read them all 6 times and was just confused at how horrible they were and just picked the least horrible for me.

[gentle cobalt]

I wasn't used to that crazy amount for such low rewards, last ticket events were easy so I didnt check it

[agile pecan]

if it hadn't been for the alliance milestone event I would have just saved my tickets

[waxen sedge]

It wasn't 3-4 packs worth either, at least not for me at ops 39. Mine was 603 G3 uncommon, or less if I used rare too.

[gentle cobalt]

Ops 40

[waxen sedge]

Yeah, the ticketed events last arc were super easy, that's true.

[gentle cobalt]

For me it was around 3.3k uc 3*

[agile pecan]

they changed the ore/par ones half way through to exclude mining last month which I thought was a crappy thing to do

[gentle cobalt]

Had no available tech with uc or rare 4* so fail 😂

3.3k uc 4* wouldn't be a problem but to get to the techs you first need to do the nasty ones with the crazy expensive common 4*

[waxen sedge]

For ops 40 they are expecting you to have g4 to spend of course, because they give so much more of it in events than the g3 equivalent.

[gentle cobalt]

The problem is available tech

Done all primes with uc 4* on ops 39

[waxen sedge]

3,300 on all research might be tough though, yeah. I don't know anything about g4 research since none of the nodes are unlocked.

[gentle cobalt]

The first lvl of the new ones demands common, 1 common costs 10 lat refinery gives horrible low amounts

[waxen sedge]

And 3,300 would be a lot of g3 to spend for the one event, it's not a good setup for 40. I wonder how high the ops level for that band of the event went.

Yeah, I am not going to 40 until I have a boatload of common. 10 lat per means my pretty decent latinum store would be gone quickly

[gentle cobalt]

I made it but that high expenses were not planned

[waxen sedge]

I might never go to 40 ever honestly

[gentle cobalt]

Packs are way better though

R&D 40 is around 40k common 4*gas, you can do the math yourself 😂 only way to get those amounts are packs or low faction ship recycling

[waxen sedge]

I have 45.5k common gas now. You can earn it at 39 and wait to ascend/level until you are ready.

4* common gas that is.

I don't have the crazy amount of crystal shipyard 41 takes though, as if I ever went to 40 I would make sure I have enough to go to 41 immediately too.

[warped dove]

or just latilatinum

lalalalalallaatinum

[waxen sedge]

Yeah, but that's a lot of latinum. Maybe they'll change the latinum exchange on it at some point to make that choice more palatable.

[gentle cobalt]

You had to laugh while writing that right? 😂

[alpine snow]

Here we go again. 196 unc (not that many) but buildings dont take that much at lvl 29. Does scopley even check this stuff. I gotta do 6 buildings at least for a day event???

[rain whale]

Requirements reduced by approx. 30%

Still a lot of repairs with poor value output.

[hearty dust]

What exactly does recruit mean? I just bought the one last shard I needed to unlock Kirk, and only got 300 points.

Never mind lol. Five minutes later it's added the other 2.5k.

[tiny wraith]

246M trit in repairs to finish that and to earn 7,5k neutronium? ☹️

[halcyon patio]

Does upgrading docks count for Bloster Defenses ?

[patent lodge]

It means get your wallet out and by them in store

[hearty dust]

@patent lodge Well clearly it doesn't, otherwise I wouldn't have already completed it would I?

[solid dawn]

Any know where to get Rare Worm-Armada starts? figured it would be in the store but dont see anyway to get them

[merry fulcrum]

Dumb move scopely recruit officers event is literally just the tos officers

[patent lodge]

Well seeing as not close to any recruits/upgrades like a lot of players not a completable event without getting my credit card out

[shy vector]

what rewards do you get from the mirror mirror misson?

[merry fulcrum]

Nothing worth buying it

[shy vector]

are any of the event missions worth getting?

[rapid nova]

You can unlock shards in the event store or you should have a pull just from yesterday or level up your officers. On the scale of standard issued Scopley greed. This event doesn't even register for me.

[shy vector]

event store*

[hearty dust]

@patent lodge I have 1.5k TOS recruit things left from last month.... because I'm not daft and saved them all for exactly this reason lol. I didn't even need to open one for this either. Just bought one single Kirk shard from event store, and put two levels in to Sulu and it was complete.

[patent lodge]

More important things in game than sulu. And scopely shouldn't force people to pick what they spend there rewards on to complete event. No wonder so many players are quitting because of this arc. So far it's been a p2p arc.

[hearty dust]

Yes I know, that 500 officer XP I spent really broke the bank 😅

[true geyser]

Keep the threat at bay - armadas.....do any armadas count towards this ticketed event?

[velvet vine]

I just used my event ticket on the rare fissure mardas, only to find it’s a pay to play event

[hearty dust]

Should have checked before joining. That's entirely your fault lol

[velvet vine]

There has never been a purely pay to play ticketed event @hearty dust but thanks for your input

[hearty dust]

I just did the station one. One dock and steel warehouse and it was complete.

Doesn't change a thing....you shouldn't be joining any ticket event without checking what it actually involves. So as I said, it's entirely your fault.

[rapid nova]

You get 2x chekov and 2x scotty shards in F2P bp today. That is 1200 points. You need 1800. 9x rare officer uhura or sulu shards is 18k event store currency. You get 22.5k in event store currency in reward. You are literally getting free currency and officer shards.

[hearty dust]

It's stupid I agree. But you should have read it before joining.

[velvet vine]

It’s a landmine. There hasn’t ever been a purely pay to play event. There are difficult events, there are insanely difficult events. There are events that would cost 1bn trit to complete.

This is none of those. It is an event that you must buy stuff to do.

[patent lodge]

The problem with this arc is its been tailored for 40+, whales. They forgot most players in game are ops 20/30

[hearty dust]

Yeah but after the disaster yesterday with these events. It's entirely on you for instantly joining any of them without reading what it involved.

[velvet vine]

Muted

[hearty dust]

Cry baby 😅

@patent lodge Yeah I do agree. It's a dreadful arc all together. Last month was so much better.

[patent lodge]

I think they should maybe go to players first and ask about the arc before releasing it. Like the recieve damage event. I didn't work out how much I spent resource wise on repairs. Luckily a good player forgot to shield last night and gave me his rss. Lol

[hearty dust]

They should take more input from people definitely. I think the receive damage event was ridiculous lol, an event designed specifically to make you just suicide ships. But that being said, it was about as easy as you can get, all I did was suicide my intrepid and enterprise three times each and it was done. It's like the old seperatist events way back when nobody could actually kill a boss, but at least then you were trying to hurt them, in this you were just trying to die in the quickest possible way 😅

[patent lodge]

Guess you the type of player that don't like people to have opinions.

[velvet vine]

No. I just don’t argue with people on the internet if I can help it. Someone replying ‘your fault, your fault’ isn’t worth my time.

The unwritten contract of a freemium game is that everyone can do everything, but you can pay to speed it up

[hearty dust]

It is worth your time when it is literally your fault. You didn't read some event requirements......Who else's fault is that? Lol

[velvet vine]

There has never, in 2.5 years, been an an event, optional or not, that requires you to spend money to do it.

[patent lodge]

Well it can't be my fault. I'm not a dev for scopely. Otherwise I would try and do stuff to help the f2p and maybe encourage them to spend a little bit here and there. Rather than push them away

[muted topaz]

Antiprotons good for anything other than alliance scoring?

[velvet vine]

Couldn’t agree with you more. Im complaining that scopely have added a purely pay to play event, which is really poor of them. On top of all the other nonsense during the arc.

[merry fulcrum]

Officer recruit event isn't really pay to win

Just do the fissure event, open a recruit of the tos officers and you're pretty much done

Then recruit the tos officers you're closest to finishing

[velvet vine]

@merry fulcrum this is the pay to play event

[merry fulcrum]

If you do everything correctly you'll get it done even eithiht saving up for anything

That's literally based off of damage done

That isn't pay to win

[velvet vine]

Yes it is. You need 50 dirs to start a rare fissure.

You can only obtain that many by buying them

[merry fulcrum]

What level are you anyways?

It's all uc at my level

[velvet vine]

I’m L40

[patent lodge]

Yep that got me 3 tiers but not enough for last shard

[merry fulcrum]

Explains it

You'll get it tomorrow then @patent lodge

It is a multi day event

[patent lodge]

That bit I did miss. Phew

[urban lotus]

I picked that one up before I realized rares took 50 directives

I need 49 million damage, and leeching one kill gave me 8.5 million

That's ridiculous

Utterly disgusting

And for them to just silently plop it alongside the others is insulting

[jovial mural]

Yep, 10% of my alliance joined the wrong event....

[urban lotus]

This whole arc has been a dumpster fire

[upper knot]

am i correct in assuming the rare armada ticketed event is impossible without purchasing the pack?

[urban lotus]

Yes

Or if you leech your whale friends armadas

[velvet vine]

Correct. I’ve fired off a complaint. Second in two days. I’m sure I’ll just get thoughts and prayers in the reply.

[somber sky]

At what level do rare (lvl32) faction ships appear in the event store?

[mortal geode]

It’s epics tomorrow at 200 a pop more 💰

[jovial mural]

@somber sky usually 1 level before. so you get 32s at ops 31 and 34s at ops 33. I BELIEVE the event store will update if you level during the duration of the store

I think that worked for me when I went to 33 to buy my augur prints a while ago

[somber sky]

Ok, tyvm!

[velvet vine]

Quite a few people have noticed that you need to be a lot closer to see or buy bp. Some have been buying G4 survey ship bp at L37&L38 and now suddenly can’t.

[rapid axle]

@twilit imp when might the event Master Surveyor be updated to include special for Isogen?

[warped dove]

and Mycelium...

[torpid wraith]

Hey devs... Nice work on the scoring adjustments. The events seem reasonable today. Much better! Thanks for that

[agile pecan]

nobody mines that

[warped dove]

isogen or mycelium?

[agile pecan]

mycelium

[tardy root]

Anyone figure out how to get the rare doomsday directives?

[rough frost]

Same than for uncommon

[jovial mural]

packs packs packs

[tardy root]

No pack has them

I’m level 38

[fathom shuttle]

There are no rare or epic ones. You need the same just way more. 50 for rare I think

The rare armada event is exclusively pay to win

[jovial mural]

Yep, just buy the directives one. gives you 1000 I think, thats 20 rares

[rain whale]

I don’t know what happens between the great Ticket Events last arc and Ticket Events this arc. Last arc: great addition, valuable Ressourcen. This arc: no to minimum value and eating up ressources like smarties

How come, scopely drove this car so much against the wall?

[agile pecan]

I'm guessing to many liked the ticket events. So they had to adjust them down some.

just like they did with the Elite battle pass. Everyone liked it and got it so they had to lessen it a bit to see where the value was still worth getting but not so great nothing else seemed good by comparison

[fathom shuttle]

I just wish they went the "Cosmetics and QoL for cash, everything else for 'free' (grind)" route.

[indigo perch]

I liked the effort/reward adjustment for worm grinding today. Thank you for making the adjustments.

[rain whale]

30% less conpared to yesterday, but still effort/reward is way off

Compared what you invest to get that stuff done.

[abstract gate]

Scopley why you no add North Star in event store for higher lvl?? Just like baby jelly it’s a collectible!

[elder gyro]

I think scopley could learn a thing or two about pricing thanks to stellaris

And compensation for ingame bugs

50 bugs repaired compensation given for each time

[agile pecan]

yes but do you have frames and avatars there

[elder gyro]

Lol no but we have leaders lol

I love both stellaris and star trek but when it comes to pricing ill go with stellaris

[patent lodge]

Love it when armadas change strength. Set up on a damaged 32 turns into a 39

[elder gyro]

Nice

You sure you clicked the right one

[patent lodge]

Yes look at target strength then look at armada. 2nd time it's happened this evening

[agile pecan]

you will fight the 32 though. The overlapping armadas is a pain though

[patent lodge]

I wish I got screenshot of last one was 32 on screenshot and 39 on battle report

[trail frigate]

erm... where do the rare worm armadas spawn, and how do you get directives for them >_>

[fathom shuttle]

Same directives as others but you need 50 for one rare

[trail frigate]

ah

[fathom shuttle]

and they spawn in Owlbuth

Between Rom and Fed space

[trail frigate]

found it - perfect

thanks!

[rain gorge]

Is there some sort of trick to the worms that I'm missing? My normal hostile farming ship can kill plenty of 43-44 faction ships in one go, but it gets decimated by 40 and 41 worms.

[indigo perch]

@elder gyro aparently not, if we buy the packs.....

@rain gorge battle triangle matters on higher level worms

[radiant marten]

wheres our sorry box for FOLLOWING " official content creators" advice by skipping 32s ships??? By following " official content creators" I've been excluded event currency and participation in events...no epic ship at 34,no 32ship as advised by every content creator...wheres my sorry box for FOLLOWING "OFFICIAL CONTENT CREATORS "VIDS & ADICE???endorsed by$copeley,PROMOTED By $ copeley spruiking $COPELEYS PRODUCT... wheres my sorry box for being a dutiful follower of " official content creators"????

[elder gyro]

What do you mean they dont force the 99 packs

[rough frost]

They are a lot stronger than faction hostiles

[indigo perch]

@elder gyro value is determined by willing buyers and willing sellers. If you buy the packs you establish value.

[elder gyro]

Its proven that less priced packs sell more often

[merry fulcrum]

When are you gonna cool your jets? Jeesh people are so poed over an event as a free to play yes its bad to do it, but to go to be frustrated on an equivalent level as your car breaking down right before a job interview is just not good for your health or actually getting the point across in a favorable way

[wary spire]

Anyone know what the Rare Doomsday Armada chests drop? The uncommons it's BPs for Vahklas/Kumari...

[simple spear]

More salvage horns

Like 4

[rain gorge]

It would be nice if hostiles that are inherently tougher than others of the same level were flagged as elite or something.

[merry fulcrum]

Yeah, they Def need to increase the amount it's a joke rn

[rough frost]

Well, they are worms with teeth. Not the usual warship

[lunar sorrel]

How come there's a Jelly event on? Is it going to be weekly now or just totally random?

[agile pecan]

there is a jelly skin event on tomorrow or this weekend

maybe have something to do with that

[lunar sorrel]

Ahhh... I'm sure you're right 😅

[thorn relic]

And why do worms with teeth have shields? And a fissure in space has shields?

[restive inlet]

They are Borg worms 😆

They can shoot too 😅

[robust vapor]

You do realise that content creators don't speak for Scopely? The advice to skip various ships doesn't come from Scopely, but it is good advice and common sense for people who don't like spending money. The fact that Scopely are ignorant of how people actually play isn't on content creators, just like content creators aren't responsible for or generally aware of the nonsense that Scopely are planning.
Demand compensation, sure, go nuts, but do it because Scopely provided events with poor planning that excluded people and made the grind for others unnecessary.

[hexed lark]

Can they adjust the prices in event store? They are horrendous compared to amount of work and rss put out sorry, but they are!

[floral trail]

Ha ha yeah like that's going to happen. Their business model is based on milking whales rather than maximising sales

[hexed lark]

Then they cry when the free players leave cuz they're just getting ripped rss and time for piddly rewards lol.

[floral trail]

Whales need krill lol.

[hexed lark]

The trash in that store is NOT worth what they want!!!

[swift sage]

"Do the wormada event," they said. "It'll be fine," they said. FOURTEEN ARMADAS TO COMPLETE MILESTONES IS TIME I WILL NEVER GET BACK.

[floral trail]

Nope.. Not to me but some people must buy them

Each to his own.. Been taking a step back for a while as grinding red triangles gets a bit boring

[rough frost]

Do armada with less people, more players in = less damage, especially if there a few big one in

[swift sage]

this only works if you survive. if you are getting destroyed regardless you're better off having strong people to keep you alive longer

[rough frost]

You score for damage done. Strong people will do all damage and you will have to do 14 armada when you can do it in less. Your choice

[neat plover]

What was in the gift chest, that was supposed to be given out today?

[rough frost]

Today is not finished in usa

[swift sage]

but if you are destroyed after a certain number of rounds anyway it makes no difference.

[vital drum]

Took me all day to do the worm Armadas yesterday, not sure I'll be doing that again

[rough frost]

They reduce the milestone and gave more point per worm lvl. I done it in 3 run instead of 30

[floral wagon]

For the event store, what do you need to be able to get Enterprise blueprints, at least L33 and what rep level or amount?

[abstract gate]

Im L33 and respected with feds & i have ent blueprints. 21,200 for 1 bp though.

[swift sage]

you need to have the rep level that will let you buy it in the faction store

[floral wagon]

Damn. I'm at 3.4M, I doubt I can get to 10M before the event store ends

[swift sage]

you'll be able to get there before the NEXT event store ends 😛

[floral wagon]

Well as you can get bps for ships one level lower than the build requirement, I thought there was a chance it would be one step lower for Rep as well.

[floral wagon]

Looool hopefully. Ah, well. I'll stick to my Sally and Cent for now and save for it. Thanks for the help 🙂

[keen crag]

Lvl 22 f2p. After unlocking the franklin from this event should I spend the rest of my stuff on frequency modulators? Or should I go for discovery/d'vor?

[knotty plover]

Grind your modulators. Franklin will make it much faster

[rough frost]

Modulators cost in store is crazy. Levelling up francky is hard, but not worth it i think. You should go for the others ship first

[knotty plover]

The franklin starts off very expensive, but only gets cheaper the more you use it. Totally unlike every other ship

[rough frost]

50k mods won't bring you far. And Franklin upgrade are op locked, so you will be stuck soon

[glossy vault]

When what no....

Oh.. in the future it will be less terrible.. oh.. ok.. u really don't actually have real ppl who play this game looking at these things u put out.. this is CLEAR.. get it together yall. We are not going to keep waste our time in glitched poorly thought game.

[opaque sandal]

I swear when event came out there wasn’t a limit on Stella bps. Figured they let you get full set like they did in anniversary event before taking it. But now there was a limit of 10 pulls. Did i miss limit when store first appeared? Or did they change it later? Curious what others have to say.

[glossy vault]

And plz provoke more pvp. Some of us are stuck on servers full of wanting to be dictators whom are r really scared of bruising and skinned knees.

[pale cobalt]

In previous event stores it didn't show a limit on the Stella but was limited to one full unlock, this time it is limited to half

[dim pulsar]

They changed it later. I was happy thinking I would buy my full discovery too, but now it seems that I'll have to wait another event store

[opaque sandal]

Thank you. I kept thinking I was going crazy. 😂

[strange schooner]

With the event store, when you can trade in for ship blue prints and it says "limit of _", is that limit for the whole event or just today?

[pale cobalt]

The whole event

[opaque sandal]

Whole event

[dim pulsar]

Well, too bad for them. I was planning to buy the bp for the extra currency to get the ships I'm still missing in the event store. Now that I know that I can only buy half... I'm getting enough without the extra from the bp.

[fluid escarp]

Is there a chance to get the last 4 of the green things without spend g3 on the next event @fresh peak ?

[sweet kiln]

scopely's method of picking event requirements

[karmic breach]

FYI...Blue weapons don't show in attack 🤷‍♂️

[minor wren]

Thank you for the announcement about fixing the events, and the compensation chest

[radiant marten]

Fanx🖖😇

[radiant marten]

I value our content creators,the vids they made were honest best advice at time of making... its $copeley who have no clue what the rest of us do,that's the issue!🖖😇

[robust vapor]

I know, you're just bringing up content creators a lot in your post. If they knew Scopely would do this I'm sure the advice would be different, but they operate independently 😬

[radiant marten]

As an example of the disconnect at $copeley... They endorse ("official"), promote ( see screen shot) these guys to spruik their product... & had no clue they all recommend skipping 32 ships...or that a lvl34 may not have an epic ship yet....again not the ccs fault,they doing their honest best,truthfully... its fair to say one could be forgiven skipping 32s was as well known and accepted mechanic as dual factions & faction lock is...we all know how shocked they were when they tried to remove that👀 when will they wake up,how many surveys? They got the logs on all of us,why didn't 5hey look?

Godbless.our content creators,imagine where we wouldn't be...without them???

In a nutshell, $copeley didn't even know what their content creators were promoting, that's how big a disconnect🙏😇

[robust vapor]

Yes, that's what I'm talking about 😂
They promote them, yes, but they're independent of each other. Scopely only share so much, and take no responsibility for what's put out by content creators (and that's why there is inaccurate information put out in several instances).
And without the CC's you'd have the community, people like me who do the "umm actually" to the CC's and mods 🤣

[radiant marten]

Am I cranky ,damn straight, but not at our beleaguered ccs... $copeley and it's Texas 2 step wrong footing us all, left hand leaving right hand post it notes is getting lame

[robust vapor]

Honestly I'm not sure why people are ever surprised by Scopely antics. They've been pulling the same nonsense for 2 years..

[radiant marten]

heres some hope, we did good... oops we did bad ...forget the good... we fix some shite... but broke something else... we got new skins... but they don't work...at least a waltz has 123,123,123🤣😂🤣build us up a little higher before dashing our hopes again🤣😂🤣🙏😇

And on the subject of " official content creators " massive thanks again for all you did to make this happen💪😎👍🍻

[dim cargo]

Stellar rewards on these doomsday fissures

[outer depot]

Excellent way to sneak in a pay to play event. I hated the ticketed events, as they are, but now they are pay to play?? Especially after yesterday’s train wreck?? Shameful!

[earnest hornet]

No they aren’t all pay to play, only 1 is.

The rare armada one

[outer depot]

That’s exactly what I’m talking about. There’s no warning that you’ll need to shell out $$ to make it happen and it’s the first time they have done that. Pay to play event, pure and simple.

[nova valley]

You didn’t use your one free ticket on it did you?

Cause only one of them is supposed to be free. You get to choose one of those three. He fourth one, outside the core 3. Is a pay event.

[earnest hornet]

Ok so exactly, then not generalise that all the ticket events are pay to play.
It’s about looking at the events and seeing what you can do, if you wanted the extra for the rare then yes you had to pay for more armada directives, but all the other 3 are relatively simple to do

[outer depot]

There was nothing to note that. I used my ticket and only then found out that it was pay to play. So I’m basically stalled for the day. Don’t get me wrong, buyer beware, but this smells a lot like bait and switch

[outer depot]

Yes I did, now I’m out the ticket.

[torn summit]

Thank you @chrome rune, and all of the behind the scenes people I can’t tag , for listening to us whiny players about the first two days of this ARC. Today was an improvement on yesterday and we can only hope that the next Planet Killer is an improvement as well. I will add that the expenditure of Soeedups for repairs in this ARC is at a record high my guess is by the end of day 7 I’ll have used more speedups than I Def the entire last ARC.

[cunning radish]

Are you an idiot? You're not stalled. The event was designed to give you ONE ticket per day for FREE just as you would have got a FREE reward in the old design each day. The ticket event simply allows you to CHOOSE an event/sometimes the reward that comes with it specifically.

[outer depot]

I am absolutely staled today. I can only call one rare armada. That may get me two tiers. To call any more, I need to purchase them. The rest of my alliance saw this after me and chose wisely the other ticketed events. So I am stalled and wasted a ticket.

[cunning radish]

Then why did you call an armada when you didn't have the resources for it?

That's your own fault, not scopely's. Why didn't you do the other event (kill hostiles)?

Also, you don't need to call armadas. You can join other people's armadas from your alliance

[outer depot]

As I said previously, it was not made clear how many armada directives were needed, the uncommon needed 1. So to expect the rares to need 50 was a bit unexpected. As I said, the others in my alliance saw how this was a bad idea and chose the other events. Hindsight, I would never have selected this event if it was clear you only get one shot for free.

I never called the armada once I saw it cost 50 and warned the rest of my alliance that this event would cost money.

[cunning radish]

Well now you've learned a lesson.

If it wasn't clear, perhaps you should have verified it first.

[outer depot]

Oh, I learned the lesson, and judging by the feedback, I am not alone.

[urban lotus]

They gave out the free 50 in part because of what @outer depot is saying. It wasn't that way on the outset.

[uncut garden]

Really selling your name there. Scopley isn’t gonna give you free stuff. The worm armadas are so ridiculously overpowered that you Have to fight them more times than they give you directives, but there’s not way to know this without buying into the event and testing it yourself.

You’re just talking down to Jayne like he’s stupid and deserves it and should’ve been able to know Information that he would have absolutely no way of knowing ahead of time

Also the killing hostiles event gives you fewer photon particles than any of the other events so why handicap yourself and your alliance by getting fewer items for the event that bases points on collecting said items

[flint bay]

So with this new officer is it then defending the station, in battle or both?

[pallid heath]

Why doesn't the TOS Officers events reward any points for recruiting/promoting regular (non TOS) officers? We had that option for TOS part 1 and 2... now this just turns the event from mostly pay to win to absolutely pay to win

[warped dove]

it's like saladins ability, when you are attacked, it works, even if the attacker is a romulan trained fighter

[ionic wren]

2 days of this arc, and our alleance and game loose 1 level 40 and 1 level 41. Well done scopely and thanks

[robust vapor]

If they left that quickly over this, then they were probably going to leave anyway.

[inland hamlet]

The problem wasn't damage needed was the inequality of 10 tickets giving less antproton particles reward..
But dropping lvl 33 requirements from 53m to 13m was easy.
But dropping needing 57 worms to 5 was just silly

All they had to do was change the research/station build one.. And allow other systems for worms..

And then equalise antprotons

Ams is the pain...

[ionic wren]

when you spend a lot of money for grow up aniway slow, and scopely also ask to pay for event, and event are shitty, you can go upset very quickly.

[robust vapor]

40 and 41 doesn't take that much spending really, I know people there. But if you were happy and enjoying the game you wouldn't quit after 1.5 days of unsatisfactory events, they were either already unhappy or will almost certainly be back shortly (and in the case will probably leave and return several times).

[warped dove]

I think I won't leave the game...

[inland hamlet]

Might be because kids are back in school

[cosmic sage]

The alliance milestone event is basically the same as it was for borgmadas. IIRC the points per day increased as the event went on. The only difference being in how you earn points for it.

[tame inlet]

....points went down on this one...8 10 12 antiprotons yesterday...5 8 10 day 2....

[cosmic sage]

Ah I see they have different rewards for the ticketed events. Interesting, I didn't look at it that closely before other then the one I looked at today had more rewards then the one I looked at yesterday.

[tame inlet]

we are the number 2 alliance on one of the oldest servers, have 1/3 the total active server population as members....we wont get milestone 4

[cosmic sage]

We are number six in power and leaderboards and only 70 points from t7. Number 1 alliance already has it completed.

[tame inlet]

43 members but a bunch are low level. There is litterally nobody to recruit. We pay the price for Scopleys stupidly low server population.

[cosmic sage]

That sucks

And you can't expect everyone to buy tickets to do all the events.

[tame inlet]

Given their refusal to merge us and the sheer disaster of this arc , hard to ask people to start spending.

[dapper drum]

rare armada event is free if your alliance works together

the 50 free directives make it so

I joined it by accident logged in later to 50 free directives finished it with 2 others in my alliance

[ashen wharf]

hey buddy you spend/spent thousands of dollars on the game

[elder gyro]

Lol

[south halo]

Does anyone know how many charges probes the T7 nanoprobe pack gives you in event store? You’d need a tier 7 Vi’dar to know 😁

[topaz galleon]

i have t7 vi'dar, shows me a t8 pack, 150k for 142k nanos

[bitter snow]

It's not enough to do a full upgrade, but puts a decent sized dent in it

[scenic cloud]

Last gun if I remember, to max ship. Was 2 packs.

[bitter snow]

240 to upgrade (max) the railgun for me, and it's 220 in a pack at T8

177 for the mid gun, and 66k ish for cargo... can't remember the others, they're done already 🙂

oh, there's a nice thought, only about two weeks off maxing the dratted thing 🤣

[wary spire]

Any update on this @twilit imp?

[tawdry wind]

Isn't yes an euphemism for no?

[rapid meteor]

Is it possible to add 10 more pull for Stella in the event store. Only ten give 50 bp, need 100.... or in normal store 50bp or 25bp by pull?

[tawdry wind]

While you're at it, please get more for discovery also

[lime eagle]

so.... color torpedoes dont even work,..... lol

[elder gyro]

Nope

[south halo]

Thanks mate. Yeah I messed up. It is the T8 pack. I’ll wait until end of arc when I tier up to 7 to grab the pack. It’s almost double the probes. Appreciate you looking it up.

[dapper drum]

or just be patient

my vidar is maxed without spending on it

from tier 7 to tier 8 though I was doing double pulls on refinery for charged probes

last tier was too lazy, too many things that need to be done now everyday

[nova schooner]

<@&509691205798592532> can you please pass up that they did not program the cosmetic change for the projectiles. I have the blue bullets enabled on ent (and my alliance members on other ships) and now there is no graphics of them 🤣

[raw zenith]

If projectile graphics are not working please submit an ingame ticket.

[nova schooner]

What’s the email address, so i can attach my 9 second video?

[raw zenith]

see #557163704383438850

[nova schooner]

🤮

Read it twice and there is no email there... ill just talk to the content creators, i guess 🙄

[granite zenith]

🙄

[nova schooner]

See @granite zenith , always looking out

Where is that, cuz its not in FAQs that was linked

[slim solar]

It is

[granite zenith]

second section in the faq that was linked

[raw zenith]

Reading is hard apparently

[granite zenith]

with the first section explaining what faq is

[nova schooner]

My first section is “Armadas” date 6/2/2020

Maybe my discord is out of date

[granite zenith]

maybe your scroll wheel is broken

[nova schooner]

My finger works just fine 🤣

[granite zenith]

yet, here we are

[nova schooner]

I’m gonna leave the server and come back, maybe that will fix me

[delicate moth]

@nova schooner definitely send in that ticket but be assured we have informed devs that some players have experienced the same problem as yourself 🖖

[nova schooner]

After a server reset, i can now see the area. Had to wait my 10min in the corner before talking again

And thanks fuzzymoo

[split mortar]

Scopely won’t answer when I ask why on earth I would spend all this tritanium for a few poxy bits of nuetronium... they really have lost the plot

[novel pelican]

This is getting out of hand. Spend Tritanium on repairs or upgrades? Unless you have some huge upgrade that you’ve just been sitting on (yeah no one, ever) this is just stoopid.

This arc or maybe the whole game is just going down the tubes. What in the actual Fck

Oh yeah, and the “Blue Bullets” I worked so hard to obtain yesterday, yeah they don’t even work. Scopely get your act together

[winged linden]

were the 12 sarc bps we were able to get last month the extent of ya'll letting us get a Sarc for free?

Because I'm not seeing Cosmic Cleanup today

[abstract gate]

Ok what the actual &$&@ ? Parsteel rewards from wormada and spend 7hr speed ups just to repair and repeat?

[icy panther]

@novel pelican My event requires 212mil tri. The “rebate” value in event store tokens is 60mil. That’s a great return/reduction

[wary spire]

The event store that cosmic cleanup would usually inhabit is a bit full at the moment, plus it usually starts in 23 hours doesn't it?

[winged linden]

iirc, it started on friday

you're correct, i found someone discussing it on a sunday and saying it was the prior day

[cloud night]

Did someone forget to deploy the revised version of “Increased Firepower” or is this seriously the “easier to complete” version 😆. So glad I purchased the extra ticket pack this arc

[winged linden]

@cloud night They'll apologize tomorrow and send out 7500 loot to everyone

meanwhile, if we want to use our tickets we still have to complete the event today

[cloud night]

Probably Tolstoy. The tickets can be used for future arcs (possibly, maybe) so not a total loss if I don’t use them all this arc but the point was to maximise the event store loot this arc. Bit irksome to be constantly faced with borderline impossible events though...

[winged linden]

Right, the armada ones have definitely been adjusted nicely

I was able to clear with no issues

This one though

As with the mat spend ones

are just giant middle fingers

the way they structured them last arc was much better

[cloud night]

Same with armadas and the kill worms event is fine now at my ops level. I think the spend trit must has slipped through the net without revision.
