If you can't do that just don't play the game for a while.

#

I tried, many many times... xD trust me i tried....... if there was a way to delete my account and be refunded maybe 20%, i would easily do that..

#

They'll refund nothing..

#

Just try and control or limit the spending.. then eventually bring it down to zero.. People need to learn how to control spending if you want scopely to get their **** together.

#

Star trek fleet command needs a new publisher that isn't scopely.

#

Boycot time?

#

I assumed nothing, I read what is written and take it at face value. It says "....increases the number of shots of the Franklin and Franklin A by 1." There is no mention of per round, per weapon or per battle. It just says "1".

I've run and won two uncommon armadas in Romulan space and still haven't scored anything in the "Impress Me" event. Anybody have any ideas?

is the Swarmada reward bugged? i finished 2 Swaramadas and got 2x 4000 rare directives... but the inventory says i only got uncommon ❓ 😤

The event 'impress me' is undoable 100 armadas wich are no where to be found because they are taken by others but even if they were there? 100 times 15 minutes? that is 25 hours of play this event is impossible to end and ask a compensation of this one.

@cunning knot I think you think this too?

#

Biggest clusterfuck ever

onyx terrace
#

And we all thought Borg armadas were bad.

crystal spade
#

Can you score for impress me event if you can’t reach the swarmada systems?

jolly gull
#

Why are Epic armada's only 70pts to call, must be because there are thousands of them and they spawn somewhere every 2 Min!😂😈

for Rare its 100 Pts x 200 Directives 100x200 = 20,000

Ah of course, forgot about that ,didn't do the Math

#

armadas epic or uncommon armadas. so this event is undoable

earnest hornet

actually if yours starting your getting 20,000 points per rare, or 35,000 per Epic, so whats your milestone??

#

@abstract gate

abstract gate
#

i get 1000 points if i win 500 if i lose and 100 points for starting?

hallow haven
#

Lol.. so we get a new ship which is just an old ship.. swarm armadas which at first were OK cos of the uc directives but have now been changed to rare... 🤣🤣🤣 honestly this is some sort of pisstake

abstract gate
#

lvl27

earnest hornet
#

so 5 Rare Start will get you 100k points

gilded river
#

This armada event is bloody ridiculous... spawn rate too low. I've spent an hour looking for rare or epic armadas and every one I find is already taken...

#

It was the same last night.... I don't have the time to waste

robust vapor
#

depends how badly you want the shards, you can always just launch the armada; no requirement to participate if you have enough directives.
As a level 39 I can only score points on swarm hordes, which if I'm lucky I might be able to kill 1 in 5 or so attempts.. so many of us at higher levels will be getting minimal or no rewards from the actual armadas anyway..

abstract gate
earnest hornet
#

oh and also that 45 Epic Mudd Marda also 😄 hahaha

ashen wharf
#

but you all listen to them when they say they are getting better

Forget the shards, use Lorca

ashen wharf

yeah, I launched a few on that 45 epic.

glacial sail
#

@robust vapor it's doable to kill with level 10 franklins. Use 5, kirk, spock on all and stack defense below deck. If 6 slots you should'be able to kill in 1-3 tries

ashen wharf
#

2-3 tries 🤣

all of them are i bet over 39

Yeah level 40-43 players there

so everytime with armadas we have had something that got nerfed if it gave players a slight postive income

#

its really funny

It’s just ridiculous

#

The best response to this nonsense is a global refusal to buy any packs or take part in this crap, hit them in the pocket

crystal spade
#

Agree

robust vapor
#

You guys buy packs?!

ashen wharf
#

nope

abstract gate
#

some do

ashen wharf
#

a year + havnt touched that store button

glacial sail
#

The franklin-a dailies are good, the current armada event is hardly worth doing for a few jaylah shards

ashen wharf
#

i just laugh that people thought battlepass was worth it

robust vapor
#

The ones that really spend money won't care either way, they'd probably buy the packs for the directives without a second though anyway..

ashen wharf
#

when we had regular events back in 2019

abstract gate
#

But to waste directives on this crap is a joke

Most got a lot of rare directives from past events though and didn't need to buy

yall just fall for it everytime shame PES2_Shrug

botany bay -Epic-A

What i find crap is that people who did buy the battlepass are left out on events because the need more money to spend.

glacial sail
#

How long till apac server event starts?

ashen wharf
#

battlepass has been known for nearly a decade for most games that its just a replacement for lootboxes

abstract gate
#

Its a big pain in the ass for a one trick pony ship

glacial sail
#

The increase in parsteel/trit etc gained if you do the dailies is huge

ashen wharf
#

atleast with big games the battlepasses are usually a year long 🤣

glacial sail
#

Same with the vidar, one trick pony but a lot of extra faction credits

#

But you looking at a few months to max them ships as f2play

crystal spade
#

I don’t mind the battlepass but if you do buy you should at least be able to compete in every event.

abstract gate
ashen wharf
#

yeah im going back to pc games i tried the whole mobile game journey and its lame

#

I’ve skipped the event. Way too much time, effort, rss and directives for so little. I had FOMO and then checked myself

ashen wharf

glad there are alot of rpg games coming out this year and next

<@&509691205798592532> <@&509690795536941056> me as a player who rushed to ops 35 and scrapyard 35 to be able to get the new Franklin a. Is heavily disappointed in the ship. I cant kill level 37 swarms with it. The cargo bay space is too small to even kill 4 level 35 swarms. The repair costs are crazy, and are hard to bring up for a regular level 35 who isnt spending 100's of euros. So i have a suggestion. Can we please get the old franklin warp engine things required to get it to t9 with the scrapping of Franklin. Retroactively, so us normal 35s can atleast do our normal swarm dailies without it costing us a limb each time we do those dailies.

ashen wharf
#

i mean thats kinda your fault for falling for the rushing your level thing to get a new thing.

fresh marlin
#

Is it right that lvl 35 can’t do event without JF of Franklin A

ashen wharf
#

is anything ever right in this game?

#

they wanted to bait you into getting the new ship

#

you fell for it

delicate moth
#

I certainly understand it's frustrating. These things can often take time to shake down. Be assured all your feedback is getting back to devs.

#

And no need to bait others @ashen wharf . You don't like being baited so why do it to others ichibe?

fresh marlin
#

Didn’t rush anything, just got to 35, but Franklin not maxed so can’t get Franklin A & event is set swarm armadas which I can’t do

ashen wharf
#

im just blunt my bad

delicate moth

It’s easy, if you don’t like the look of an event, don’t bother doing it.
The impress me event is pretty terrible, I have no interest in the reward or the cost of doing it. I don’t see this officer being useful. Maybe useful vs armadas, but they are in themselves a waste of time. I don’t see Jaylah being better then standard PMT for swarm killing.

So spend rare directives for a worthless armada to unlock a officer that only might be useful for killing more swarm armadas that we already established isn’t worth the effort.

earnest hornet

Can anyone answer my question?

Is there anyway to set a swarm armada without the Franklin A

Can you kill 37swarms with the new Franklin t1?

shut sand

#

The original Franklin dailies were absolutely useless, the bio mineral rewards were not scaled to the level of the players who had maxed their Franklin’s and who were accumulating millions of modulators that were useless.

This was the reason the Franklin-A was was introduced. To give players with max Franklin’s a way to progress, use the modulators they have accumulated and also start to fix the economy of level 40+ play with the huge amounts of rss you get for the new bio mineral refines.
A player in my alliance is lvl 49 and his refine is 3 billion steel a day (inc tokens)

For everyone complaining that you can’t do the event because you’re not high enough level. That’s intended.

charred relic
#

T2 not for level 35 players. You have to be level 37 for t2

shut sand
charred relic
#

Still wondering if it makes sense for level 35 and 36 players, who just maxed their Franklin, to reach for the new Franklin?

desert quarry
#

Interestingly everyone is satisfied with the event for the armada? At 34 I need some unique miracle to find 20,000 directives in 2 days and by some miracle collect all the armadas on the server, given their respawn time, this is just an incredible task !!!! What kind of idiocy?

earnest hornet
languid mantle
earnest hornet
#

@desert quarry why do you need 20,000 directives??

ashen wharf
#

what was wrong with the economy with 40s

#

they buy all their stuff

#

🤣

shut sand
#

In general, the only real issue i saw with the event was the huge bait and switch. Seeing the new swarm armadas were uncommons to start, I valued the USS Terror refit as worth the punt at. I put my mats in (and won) but 2 hours before it ends (too late by then for mats) they decided to change it to rare directives. For me, this seriously devalued the refit for me and especially after seeing the milestone requirements for the event.

What a waste of mats and a refit I’ll never use now 🙈

ashen wharf
#

some people also bought armada packs for the swarmadas

#

so PES3_Shhh

desert quarry
#

@earnest hornet Where did you get these numbers? For the addition of a rare armada, I only get 1000 points and ha epic 1500 ... where did you get 35000 for one epic armada?

fresh marlin
#

Event for lvl 34 easy, event for lvl 35 impossible without maxed everything or £100 spend

charred relic
#

So how many 37 swarms can you kill with a new Franklin t1 in one run?

fresh marlin
#

Setting epic is 70 x 500

shut sand
fresh marlin
#

Setting rare 100 x 200

earnest hornet

As lvl 34 it’s easy

#

if your only joining them and not starting them, then yea you're only gonna get a 1000 points@desert quarry

desert quarry
#

@earnest hornet In general, not a word is said about the start of the armada

tawdry wind
#

Yes

#

20k per rare start

earnest hornet
tawdry wind
#

21k total if you win a rare, 20.5k if you lose

celest cloud
tawdry wind
#

35k for starting an Epic, 36 in all for losing, 36.5 for winning

earnest hornet
#

@desert quarry Also WHAT armadas are you doing, you have to be doing Normal Armadas, NOT Exchange armadas to get the starting points

tired hazel
#

The new ark was good, until this crap armada event and changing normal to rare materials to start an armada....

velvet crypt
#

There are not enough Armadas on our server anyway. not possible to finish for everyone who want to do it. (below lvl34)

tardy veldt
#

The spawn rates of rare and epic armada's is way to low for an event like this in my opinion

earnest hornet
#

thats why we hardly see the Armada event for normals anymore,

abstract gate
#

yes the trick is just start rare armadas double tripple qudripple while wasting the directive you get the points and jayla parts. a leg or a finger maybe? 😉 this event is not to be greedy and wasting directives you got in earlier event.

tawdry wind
#

Which earlier event?

frank ledge
#

Imho this “impress me” event is a total joke! If my math is correct ( losely,) a lvl 35+ team of 5 need 4500 rare directives for all 5 to finish event, and thats assuming all the swarmadas die !

tawdry wind
#

It's 1k rare per person if you wanna solo it (atleast for below ops 30)

neon badge
#

Let me just get my frank a....oh wait it came out TWO DAYS AGO AND MOST PEOPLE DON'T HAVE IT

#

Impress me event needs alternative way to score

frank ledge
#

60 day wait for most ppl

#

Rumour is it takes around 4.7mil in power to kill a lvl 40 swarmada, lvl 35 frankA’s average 720k so it cant be done

#

Even my own T2 is only 800k and im lvl 37,

neon badge
#

Best part, can't max it till lvl50

#

Last component you need is level locked at 50, hilarious

frank ledge
#

I think a multi server all singing and dancing huge complaint has to be put in tbh

#

You dont even unlock the char even with the bp shards !

frank ledge
#

Unscrupulous, disgusting , money grabbing tactics

frank ledge
#

Hmm ? Kingo ??

tawdry wind
frank ledge
#

You dont unlock jaylah even with the shards you get from the battlepass

tawdry wind
#

Ah okay. I did think that they seemed to be way less

frank ledge
#

So 1k rares fir about a 5th of a character

inland narwhal
#

The biggest thing that gets me is the difference between points for starting the armada and defeating it. They are literally saying 'dont bother playing the game, just spend some tokens and leave'

frank ledge
#

Thats beyond greedy

#

Totally agree

tawdry wind
#

Whoever designed this event should be put in rura penthe

# neon badge Regular arms? It says swarm in the event description

starting a swarm armada shoul give yu the points also but dont know that for sure if you have one spare you could try starting one if it gives you 20k points (for me its 20k) at the start then you can just start them when someone else is busy and get the points for starting a swarm armada. your describtion stays swarm armada mine armada because of level.

For Gods Sake if ur going to make an armada event, put some armadas out on the board. Shouldn’t be this hard to find and do when it’s a event. Respawns quicker please

vivid plinth
#

Agreed, scopely PLEASE can you increase the spawn rate of the rare and epic Armadas during these armada events at least! With so many people doing them it's almost impossible to find any rares or epics. What's the point in an event where you need to run 10 of them at least but event when you can there are none around level 30 to start. I'm assuming same issue on all servers. (already posted on event feedback group too)

abstract gate
#

What gave it away? Making us kill 150+ swarms every day, running normal armada with slow span timer for all server, thinking 5k iso for ops42 in total for 4 AMS is great reward or running ticketed events that asks 25x more than regular 6h research event for lesser prizes

shrewd knot
torpid wraith
#

Do they use any sort of thought process before they release an event? Or we just yeeting events out as fast as we can draw em up, without any consideration for the players trying to complete them... You're really gonna create an event that requires every player on the server to host 5 rare armadas... Did anyone do the math there? There's not even close to enough armadas

abstract gate
#

Its easy...you got 23, 26, 29, 32, 35 and r38 armadas...6 per lvl every 2hours, 36 rare every 2h...
48h event, 24x36= 864 regular rare
5 regular rare per player to do event
172 players below ops 35 can do event
Any server with over 172 players below ops35 should not have event
...
It took me 3 min to do this

torpid wraith
#

In what universe does your server only have 172 players? 🤣 We have 65 in our alliance alone. You've absurdly miscalculated.

#

*65 under 35

Considering you can spend directives on armadas already started (they go to waste), I think Scopely just wants people to get rid of directives.

Why was I FORCED to give up my fully upgraded Franklin For this Piece Of Shit?
The Franklin tier 9 lvl 45 should be one level below the Franklin-A After I scrap.
The new "A" should start with the same storage and protected storage as the refitted ship that is now a "A"... So why the new ship that is ops locked with no way to upgrade it??
First chance I am rebuilding my old Franklin for swarm Sunday!!!
I wouldn't need it if the A had more cargo.!.!

bitter snow
#

OK, what are you using the cargo for?

#

I missed the cargo space initially, but what do you need it for?

#

The thing that we upgrade the A with drops in teensy quantities

#

And, aside from a lousy upcycle refine, we don't need the original FMs

supple shard
#

using my frank a is worthless to pick up old freq module so i am wasting the opportunity to earn the old modules on lvl 35- ships.. going to lvl 37 space, I am having to kill 75 ships to complete the 2nd event. so why should i spend 8 hrs repair and 1mil trin to repair the frank a when i can use it on lvl 32 or 35 ships. but with no storage i am either making trips or i am not storing them and letting them die with the hostile

#

i am basically saying that swarm sunday needs to be revamped for the new ship like the dailies were

pale cobalt
#

Do swarm Dailies and you get 52k+ of the old mods depending on your ops level no need to go hunting for them

bitter snow
#

That's the thing, why do you care that the FMs are going to waste? It's not like you need them, and dailies feed the refine fine so far as I can tell...

#

And hey, I can do heroic in one run of 35s instead of three now 😂

pale cobalt
#

But don't forget normal events have never changed during an arc they are always changed after the arc enjoy killing 35's in a single run while you can I'm sure next month we will have to kill the new swarm for Heroic 😂

bitter snow
#

So long as they keep it reasonable 😂

#

Id settle for 37s counting for twenty points 😇

#

Or thirty, as they count x3 for everything else at the mo.

#

All dailies in a single run is also nice at the moment 😂

pale cobalt
#

I can kill 12 37's per run so as long as it's only kill say 25 it will be fine 2 repairs I think is reasonable

bitter snow
#

So long as it doesn't eclipse the trit reward for biotics I reckon I'll be OK 👍

gentle cobalt
#

What you think about the second chest of swarm armadas? 😂

pale cobalt
#

Yeah 2 repairs and we will still get 1.5m tri profit from the refinery

pale cobalt
meager zinc
#

It would be nice if the new swarms counted higher for swarm sundays. Having to kill 75 swarm when your cargo hold is the equivalent to one of a smart car is not so much fun

supple shard
meager zinc
#

So I kill 75 ,level 37’s and spend a lot in repairs, I kill 35’s and ignore the modulators, or I kill enough to fill my cargo on the sub 37’s and make 7 trips?

bitter snow
meager zinc
#

Or do I just pretend that they didn’tput modulator conversion in the game,,,,,

bitter snow
#

Who in their right mind ever did 75x 35s?

pale cobalt
#

The mod conversation is only there to get rid of the old mods not a reasonable form for upgrading the F-A

bitter snow
#

You get almost twice as many mod2s from dailies that you do from the (single) refine

#

The refine is a throwaway to make those of us with silly numbers of FMs lurking in inventory happy

pale cobalt
#

I have only got to ops 36 2 days ago my F-A can't be upgraded anymore until 37 the amount of mods I will get from dailies before I get to 37 is huge no need to hunt, for ops 42+ yeah they may have to hunt for mods but ops 35-41 no don't hunt it's a waste

bitter snow
#

Naked t2 with all the research up to 37, I can do all my dailies in a single run of 37s(this is fricking awesome in itself)
Two days of old swarm dailies gives you enough for a fm refine assuming your bank is empty of them (it isn't), and 300 mk2s

#

Pretty sure it'll get more grindy up the levels, but higher levels the refine is going to lag even further behind daily hauls...

#

And, levels take long enough now that I don't think I'll be struggling to keep it up to date..

gentle cobalt
#

It's a joke

#

Stingy amount

bitter snow
#

I mean, 4k rare isn't anything to sneeze at, I'd take that 😂

#

If it didn't take that many to kill one of the things in the first place 😂

#

But it's very definitely for the person running, rather than the helpers...

young pike
#

It’s terrible payout considering when I do rare 38 I can get 10k total with a chest and team gets their share plus second chest.

#

Half the cost to start doesn’t equal payout

abstract gate
#

Running 5 of 10, equates to about 40k rare credits to be shared among players in r38. Plus lead chest and combat chest which comes to 47.5k

Now for half of that leader gets 4k and 1 lucky gets 1k...so its about 11% of value of r38 for 50% cost

#

I am hoping that r44 swarm for 100 rare directives do have significantly better payout...once you are able to reach and kill them

"The alternative is to not get the shards" ...

THIS is the ridiculous part. Every other event has SOME form of progression built into it. This event is PURELY an economic contraction (not expansion). No-one is arguing the "choice" part of it. But reality is that, for most players, Jaylah will be +/- required to progress, making this a mandatory spend event with no coincidental growth (even auctions have growth in terms of your ships/station/research/officers).

#

And this all of course assumes you HAVE 700-1000 rare directives to spend, because Scopely decided on ZERO notice to change the cost of the swarm madas. I personally saved up a bunch of unc directives as soon as they launched BECAUSE I knew the swarm madas were coming. I DIDNT save rare directives because they weren't in any way/shape/form related to swarm at the time.

modern estuary
#

impress me event for those who dont have a franky-a is impossible

#

way to go scopely for excluding those players

wide mural
#

If your an ops 35+ player then you should have a maxed Franklin and if you don't then that's because you couldn't be bothered to do it and that's on you tbf.....just saying

modern estuary
#

you have to upgrade alot of base structures before you can get shipyard upto 35

#

for that you need loads of uc

wide mural
#

Then your not eligible for this arc. Don't see what's hard to understand

orchid lion
#

Then why MAKE players eligible for the arc? Ship pre-req is already a basis for an event (Art of war? Could be wrong).

modern estuary
#

but are the events offered

#

so excluding players from being able to do any events of this arc that require franky-a

#

rather than ops the events should have been based on shipyard level

It seems fairly simple to me. Play within the confines of what you are given, or don't play at all.

This is at least the 4th time in recent memory an armada event has been offered by scopley where the spawn rate was an issue. They haven't fixed it yet. I wouldn't hold out hope of them doing so. Maybe they will make another way for under ops 35s to more easily get the shards, but that won't fix this iteration. I pointed out how such players could finish it fairly easily this time around and they wanted none of that.

Step 1: Build Ent A
Step 2: Blow it up
Step 3: See the cost to repair

dapper drum
#

would also depend on your techs, docks won't matter you will have a lvl 49 or 50 anyways so

#

but you could just look it up on LCARS what the base cost is, should be somewhere around 1 billion trit

#

since march 2018 I've spent 4000 USD on this game

#

so nope

#

so far this year I've managed to only spend 260$

#

bought elite second builder, needed some speedups, 1 territory pack and 3 battlepasses

#

will be 280$ before this arc over for this arc battlepass

tight zenith
#

On the separist event... it says special ships you get a 1.5 bonus. So I hit some lvl 22 separist ships today and it counted as 25, not 75. Hit lvl 22 swarm ships and got 50.

dapper drum
#

1.5 is 50% 25 would be 37.5

#

and you won't see the total on the toast

tight zenith
#

The chart shows lvl 22 pays 50.

dapper drum
#

so you got 25 bonus

#

you got 50 and 25

#

the 25 was last toast so its what you saw

all battlepasses since release

it adds up over time

cunning radish

ive spent about...$130 AUD (90USD or so)

#

at level 29

#

to get vidar, one battle pass, and dvor

#

ive been doing ok lol

dapper drum
#

most the spending was in the first 6 months, it was a different universe back then close to release

cunning radish
#

im sure

#

seems a lot more forgiving these days

#

compared to originmal ones

#

from waht ive seen

dapper drum
#

after that it was just their "value" packs like monthly elites and battlepasses that kept me spending

cunning radish
#

i dont find any value in their packs

#

if they had a pack that was like 1000 of all three g3 resources

#

id be tempted to buy

dapper drum
#

depends on what they define value as

cunning radish
#

but theyre so light on needed resources

#

so ill just truck along

dapper drum
#

it could literally be a token scopely so good at coding

#

and they forgot to assign a value to the "value" token

When enquiring initially, we were told the info regarding the details of events that is usually given at the start of the arc was going to be released in stages when the “section” of the arc was due to start. Well the “Mining Mayhem” starts in 6h and no news articles in game yet about what it will involve... Can you please enquire through the official channels to ask that the information surrounding the events be posted on in game news as promised by Scopely in the original arc announcement???

I think it is important that it is done so we can plan around our inventory to make sure that a situation similar to what happened with the rare directives doesn’t happen again.

poor decision to make use use rare dirs for these

Currently holding off on buying the elite battlepass till i can see if even that gets me enough shards to finish jaylah. Until then, i'm f2p on this garbage arc.

modern estuary
#

especially leaving it til last minute to change the requirements

inner cave
#

@pseudo rover just a suggestion, give us a way to revisit original Franklin’s missions to allow us to get the warp parts for a second Franklin

modern estuary
#

getting bp without parts is pointless

inner cave
modern estuary
#

so people did rare 35s/38s instead

#

i need like 10k points to finish if only i have 100 rare dirs lol

ashen wharf
inner cave
#

35’s and above we can use them on the swarm armadas, which have a better spawn rate and are harder to kill (at least for now )

ashen wharf
#

lol

inner cave
#

Obviously

#

Scoply give you nothing for free

ashen wharf
#

and obviously they could have just made another currency because thats all they are good at doing for the swarms then no one could complain

modern estuary
#

yeah but so soon into the arc? most people have not had time to tier up their franky-as

#

even at t3 these swarmadas are tough

winged tulip
#

I'm not even sure the trit and speedup costs of burning rare dirs and franklin-A is worth the jaylah shards yet

ashen wharf
#

it doesnt matter what was planned by them its not the players fault for using rare directives on rare armadas

inner cave
#

90% were fake ones. So far it’s been hard to kill these

ashen wharf
#

and them introducing a new armada system is just how crap they are at knowing their own game

inner cave
#

The thing is the swarm armadas are uncommon

ashen wharf
#

visually

#

they are changing them

modern estuary
#

so why not use uc dirs

ashen wharf
#

because it was "originally" intended to be rares lol

inner cave
#

But they give the chance for jaylah shards for the launcher

ashen wharf
#

which is a lie

bitter snow
#

shards, or apparently a load of rare directives for the launcher?

inner cave
#

Nope one of my allince mates got them @ashen wharf

modern estuary
#

you get either rare credits or jayhlah shards

#

not dirs

bitter snow
#

aah

#

shame

ashen wharf
#

yeah and normal rare armadas you could get way more rare credits

#

armadas have been the lamest mechanic since they were hyped up in 2018

#

original release was hot butt
borg sucked
mudd madas were not that bad
worms butt
swarm madas butt

modern estuary
#

yeah armadas should mean what they imply a huge fleet of ships not just 5-6

#

armadas in current form is more of a gathering lol

ashen wharf
#

yeah and you are required to be in an alliance to do them which is also annoying

inner cave
#

You only get chests from them, hence why more credits

ashen wharf
#

swarm madas give nothing to participators only starters

#

lol

modern estuary
#

no i got 100 creds for joining one

neon badge
#

Armadas are good right now cause scopely is actually giving out rare directives at a decent rate, but before this year they sucked because the only way to get any rare directives was to buy packs

all of that stuff could have been a regular function in the game per event like other games lol

but americans fall for this stuff so easily

Classic scopely... Bungled another one.

When you've already designated systems as "lucrative systems" and then you release an event targeting lucrative systems... But they're different systems?

Do you guys even look at this garbage before you release it?

First, many thanks for having a mining event. Some of us like those and they don’t come very often. BUT: the payout of 2/10 shards is low for a 3 day event AND the bracketing is ridiculous: an ops 40 seems to compete with an ops 50. This is not the same league and simply put frustrating.

ashen wharf
#

I love mining

Muaaahh ha ha ..they messed it up again ..poor brackets ...poor rewards

cunning radish
#

yeah @austere lake the payout of shards is very low indeed

plucky ermine
#

judging from the payout, gain favor should have been an ALB event

#

outherwise why should I even bother

cunning radish
#

6-10 gives 4 shards at my level

#

so low 😂

#

10 for level 1. lawl

#

for rank 1*

ashen wharf

10 🤣

plucky ermine

Yeah it's not even a full unlock

#

ALB would have been fine

What is this for?

plucky ermine

for the bribe event

Quick question: Apart from placement points are the Bronze Gold Silver stars pointless? Or can we use them later on for something

plucky ermine
#

is there a cooldown on that bribe refinery?

silk cradle

It says Bleak times, which is not the bribe event

Yes, but still a stupid way to get tickets

#

The re-use of the naming "lucrative system" is going to cause mayhem on lots of servers that have the Borg lucrative 3* systems included in their RoE

plucky ermine
#

I don't have an event called "Bleak Times"

silk cradle
granite zenith
#

no

marsh kernel
#

Is anyone else's lucrative mining not counting for risky business? Mine only counted for Gain Favor

silk cradle
#

So that token is pointless?

plucky ermine
#

It's probably just a reuse of that medals from the disco arc

granite zenith
#

they didnt bother to change the name
it only tracks your bribe score

OK, so I'm not doing it then. Thanks for the clarification. I will keep my lat

This isn’t very realistic at lvl24...

why not? you already got 47k points

1/10th of the way there and its only 30 minutes into the event

how is that unrealistic?

Can someone verify what it means by steal G3 in a lucrative system?

in the systems that the event says

for your level

vague narwhal
#

Oh! So not Forin etc where the token is required?

cunning radish
#

correct - they are just using the same name for some reason

#

the 'lucrative', which is confusing people

vague narwhal
#

Yup!

cunning radish
#

the event clearly lists the systems they mean though

#

if you check

vague narwhal
#

Ok thanks

torpid wraith
cunning radish
#

i mean the naming is unfortunate

but i dont know if it's 'convoluted'

simply reading the event tells you explicitly the systems included

#

Calling it lucrative spaces and then not having the names in the How To Earn Points section has caused the token lucrative spaces to be hit.

alpine jetty
#

Yup

#

Bravo dopely

#

Yes. Clan mates are being hit in lucrative space

silent cedar
#

scopely just want more wars...more pvp = more rss/speedups/lat down the drain = more packs being sold

Why not just make it points for hitting overcap anywhere

#

How about next week make it for overcap G4 mats?

real ocean
#

<@&509690795536941056> People on my server are getting points from PVP in token space, not just the "lucrative systems" of scopely's choice. Is this scopely's intent or not?! Can you please give them this feedback?!

abstract gate
#

Why not just declare server wars, anything goes?

#

I mean, that's where they're going with this. Any server with some sort of RoE is gonna have a bunch of crap going on in discord because some nitwits who clearly don't understand the cultures of the servers was picking their nose when they got called on in the meeting when they were looking for ideas. "Can't go wrong with killing miners!"

Yep I hit in the right system with a faction miner. No points. So I’m guessing no one is getting points for PvP?

For level 34

I’m lvl41 BUT it doesn’t say it is level specific on those systems.

ashen token

It says. It in the news feed

It says lvl32-41

Yeah I’m 34.

3* Factions miners for 32-41 and 4* miners for 42+

And I don’t know if it’s hull damage to me or the opponent

knotty birch

But ya’ll got it understood perfectly as you are scoring points so.......

real ocean
#

so the confusing part is, did they deliberately intend it or not? because the systems mentioned specifically state "bonus points for mining." Doesn't say pvp but who the hell knows?

ashen token

No my points come from mining.

#

Not PvP.

The PvP part is working, at least for a 41 hitting a Kvort with a Kvort

Does Scopely want people to enjoy playing this game, or for people to basically become in servitude to this game? This arc is asking players to spend at least 50% more time in game if they want to do anything with the Ticket events. This is action not matching existing communications which set an expectation.

glacial kernel
#

Scopely just wants your $$$

#

Like last event, 1000 rare directives for 30 Jaylah shards 👀

tardy pawn
#

I thought that was a pretty good deal actuall considering running rares nets you additional loot

pale cobalt
#

I think some missed what that event actually meant and did throw away directives, it was actually trade 12 rare armada chests for 30 Jaylah shards I saw that and went no not a good trade and ignored the event completely

tardy pawn
#

How is it trading if you receive both?

glacial kernel
#

Would have been nice if we at least had a chance to kill a swarm horde

pale cobalt
#

Only if you can beat the armada and it's only a fraction of the credits you get from a normal rare armada

abstract gate
tardy pawn
#

Oh my bad you’re higher up

#

I’m sub 35 so it was run 5 reg rare armadas

glacial kernel
#

Yea that’s not a bad thing

#

For 35+ it’s just a waste of directives

pale cobalt
#

Sub 35's did get a slightly better deal although you had the problem of finding armadas because the spawn rates on regular rare and epics are terrible

agile pecan
#

low to mid 40's could actually use non frankA's on the armadas to win so they were okay
