[desert laurel]

the future rifts are not known, but we have the last time it ran as to what is likely

[proud solar]

Much better,I did start with," help a poor simpleton out here folks" but you had to be "not "fanx🖖😇

[halcyon sentinel]

last time was 3 rifts, this time 4? it looks

[desert laurel]

that's not likely. It's probably an extra day for people to claim their rewards and score in the meta.

rifts 1-3 as stated there, and the last time it ran it was shortened by 12h because they didn't have that extra day added for people to collect

[halcyon sentinel]

fair enough, then no you have no chance scaleyback as all those bots on your server will certainly win

i came 3rd last time this ran and will aim for that again this time, but im probably a bot 😄

[proud solar]

I'm sure you don't use bots, "these aren't the bots you're looking for" , I'm sure nobodies ever used bots,ever in this game... silliness to think such... as if they had that kinda technology .. today 🤣😃😂😂🤣 hilarious... ohhh,that was funny🖖😇😃

[desert laurel]

doesn't matter if they use bots, I'm not using one and I have first. Just put in the effort and you'll do well, maybe even win

[proud solar]

Yup,gotta set that alarm.for 2am🖖😎

[desert laurel]

play when you can, I will sleep too. Maybe someone will push me when I'm doing so. Nothing I can do about it, but I won't give up before putting in my effort

[halcyon sentinel]

just heard it before is all, people calling bots, then you find out they're in a bracket where they have a 600k sally and the top guy has a 1.4mil sally...

[proud solar]

Guess if they stopped bluestacks,that's fix a lot of bots right? You can't use bots from your phone ?

So,ain't gunna happen then🤔🤷‍♂️?

[fresh marlin]

Just gotta ask… I have no experience as a dev, but I have a coin do have better odds of getting events right than scopely team

[fresh marlin]

No because stacks emulates android phones do the only way to remedy is to make game iPhone only & im sure that would go down great 😎

[proud solar]

Yup ok then 🖖😎... fanx for the knowledge 🖖😃👍

[fresh marlin]

Scopely are a bit naive like that but that’s a different chat room

This event again suffers from respawn rate not the devices that can run bots to find the epics & rares… all they need to do is make the rares & epics spawn faster & lo & behold they also increase revenue stream

[proud solar]

I know they exist, not my argument, just looking for a foil for 2am resets & some folks ethics🖖😇

[fresh marlin]

Reset in uk is 5pm for events & 2-4 (I’m asleep) for dailies… this event is fun but similar to the eclipse event as it makes us all super criminals

… the constant scrolling rubs your finger prints away 🤣🤣🤣

[proud solar]

Like that joke about the bloke who goes to th doc and says" I think I'm dying"?👀why's that"? Asks doc," because when I poke this ,it hurts,and this and this & especially this"?👀 ... doc says ,"yup,you've broken your finger..."👀

Thankyou,thankyou,my name's Pete I'm here all week,tip your waitress🖖😇

[cunning radish]

what was rift 2 again - i forghet lol

[desert laurel]

a forgettable sms

[random tide]

was it a dom sms?

[quasi zodiac]

@random tide no, a sub 😉

[lethal pivot]

Anyone donate 10,000,000 parsteel in the On The Brink Mission? That seems like a lot and the prize of tritanium and dilithium is small. But I can’t see the last mission in this series to determine if something big would be coming. Anyone?

[oblique void]

Has anyone else who got screwed by the jelly event today had luck with scopely support? They just told me I should re-enter the event next week with the resources I no longer have.

[languid cove]

What would you want them to do? You got the upgrades you did, they can’t undo upgrades

[oblique void]

Either just let the event run like it did last week and take my chances, or award the event prize at the time it “ended”.

[quasi zodiac]

@lethal pivot what level are you?

At level 26+ 10Mil steel is nothing

[lethal pivot]

Level 28. I have it. Just wondering is it worth it.

[lethal pivot]

Level 28. I have it. Just wondering is it worth it.

[quasi zodiac]

Might as well 🤷 you can just raid it back and it's really only 1 event worth

Also it's less than you get from the BattlePasss

[narrow crypt]

And that would be unfair on everyone else.

[oblique void]

How would that be unfair for others? Those who hadn’t entered yet or dropped significant resources lose nothing. Hell if they found a way to carry forward our points to next week’s event that would be totally fine as well. But for those of us who had been holding off on upgrades and dropped tens of thousands of uncommon and rare materials for an event that disappears, we have lost the ability to try again next time.

[abstract gate]

I'm 100% with you. imho scopely did the right thing pulling the event when they realised it wasnt working as intended 🙂

[keen mist]

Seems kinda fraud-ish doesn't it? Hint hint

[cunning radish]

not really no

[cunning radish]

I dont think you understand what the word 'fraud' means. What you describe is stealing.

[tawny marsh]

@oblique void no luck, im contacting Google play

[cunning radish]

For what exactly?

lol

In game resources they have no control over?

[tawny marsh]

@cunning radish actually according to Google plays terms of service it is a refundable action

[cunning radish]

whats refundable?

you didnt spend any real money

[tawny marsh]

Actually, we did spend money on.

Just before the event to accumulate the material, in either packs, battlepasses, or other purchasesb

[cunning radish]

yeah and what are those purchases for?

to place in in-game events?

[tawny marsh]

Including tickets for uncommon events which can all be shown to Google play

[cunning radish]

or to get the resources you paid for?

you got the resources you paid for - how you spend them is your problem.

suire they made a mistake in the veent - but that doesnt detract from what you bought

[tawny marsh]

If your not affected and your not contacting Apple or Google play what do you care. Im in the process right now and its going well

[cunning radish]

i dont care im just saying u arent owed anything

lol

and i severely doubt youll get anything

also id be careful - ive seen scopely ban accounts for requesting refunds

that have gone through

[tawny marsh]

Google play disagrees. And the last time this happened I was refunded

[cunning radish]

lol ok

well good luck to you

[tawny marsh]

And scopely itself sent me the email that I used to get my refund approved

[cunning radish]

👍

[tawny marsh]

Seems you shouldn't speak on topics you don't have all the info on

[cunning radish]

👍

[tawny marsh]

For everyone else that isn't a troll or trying to score internet self esteem points.

Here are the steps:

1. Contact scopely customer service
2. Show screenshots of the and document the amount of material amount and purchase price.
3. Request a refund and to have your ticket escalated.
4. Contact Google play
5. Ask them to contact scopley through their mediation or resolution process.
6. Once scopely responds to Google email you can request the refund without fear of a ban.

Last time this took me about 3 days, I might have been lucky but it worked

[fluid escarp]

Question, anybody know for what is the picardticket?

This one

[random tide]

its used to score in the picard "make it so" event

[fluid escarp]

I hope there will be a exchange fot that

[random tide]

no exchange. just for scoring purposes

[oblique bolt]

Jelly event still running on my server... what now? Will it be cancled or run until monday and the rewards will be given?

[ripe granite]

Same on EU172

[narrow crypt]

Because someone who was awake for 30 minutes got a cheap jelly. That's how it's unfair.
You just want that because you spent Materials and want to force the dialogue into giving you a cheap Jelly.
There are plenty of people watching these events who didn't get a chance to drop their materials on the event... And would be disadvantaged by someone winning it cheaply.
The only true fair way to resolve would be to undo the spend that has been done...
As it stands you want a Jelly for minimal outlay and to keep your upgrades.
Being refunded would allow you to keep you upgrades (also unfair).

[abstract gate]

Best idea in my opinion would be to combine the leaderboards from last and this week and remove the players who already have one. This would allow for a almost fair competition in the third run.

[abstract gate]

What about the people that sensibly waited to see if the event wasn’t broken again 🙈?

[oblique bolt]

Or still waiting for a clear statement if the event will be cancled or not 😂

[bitter snow]

I have no intention of starting early on Amy of these jelly events, they've popped up the wrong one a few times now, and, why shouldn't I let other people shoot their best shot before deciding if I can take them 😂

[abstract gate]

They still will have all the safed stuff and can join the event any time? It's about starting the event with points that have already been spend. The rest can join and still overtake or wait for the next one.

[languid cove]

I don’t have sympathy for anyone who dropped thousands of uncommon 20 minutes into a jelly event when the jelly event failed last time.

It’s a 2 day event, just wait, not hard

[silver current]

And excessive greed!

Those who wasted materials and resources for the jelly event, can you spell run?

[stuck geode]

Why does scopely never fix the rate of armada spawns.

[rotund talon]

they did adjust it for this arc, it's just that the pitfalls still show during armada events

[main cairn]

The armada event is incredibly frustrating when armadas don't respawn for hours.

[fickle elk]

This to me showed a canceled event.

[remote sky]

Jelly event seems to be online again and again also for people who already have it...

[silver current]

They do seem to do exactly the opposite of what is really needed. LoL

[tawny marsh]

I hope next time they cancel the jelly event 2 minutes before the event ends. Im sure all you "suck it up" crowd will be ok with it.

Actually they should just make this a feature.

Events can be canceled at the discretion of scopley at any point during the run time.

That way they can take your resources,materials, and money and not have to give you anything in return

I personally think this is a great idea as f2p.

[gray ravine]

And day two of spending hours and hours looking for armadas to run. When we get to rares and epics, it's really going to be impossible. When will scopely learn that armada events are broken. There simply is not enough supply to meet demand. Unbelievable how deaf they are to this.

[tawny marsh]

Because their entire game is outsourced to some third world country

And those workers really don't give a shyt

Probably a sweatshop full of 15year olds working

[steady seal]

LIFT THE FOG IN DARK SPACE!!!

[upbeat kestrel]

"DARK"

Although, if an alliance member has a Station or ship in a system, you should be able to share sensor information and see the inside of the system

[steady seal]

ha. with armadas there now it’s just a nuisance.

[abstract gate]

Armada event is just stupid.

[rustic siren]

So I'm guessing the TNG missions for this BP were just level 30 and up, I just hit level 30 but the BP didn't change at all to give me access to those tickets, has anyone had any success contacting CS in situations like that to get the mission keys to start it ?

[carmine lily]

level 32+

[rustic siren]

well thats annoying since they just showed up in the event store at lvl 30 =/

[neat barn]

curious about this as well, just hit 30 during this arc

[desert laurel]

yes, CS has awarded the keys to people who've leveled and now have the option to buy the missions from the store.

[wraith fog]

Thanks for taking 5/10 out of the rewards store after I used the rewards so far on her. Smooth move Ex-Lax!

[desert laurel]

do you have any picard coins left?

it's sometimes the case that items are removed from your event store if you no longer have the currency to purchase it

[quiet harness]

I was thinking of buying the cosmetics.. but it's not a full unlock on any.
Do I buy and pray that scopley had then in another event store

[wraith fog]

Possible but the option to buy all other borg officers is still there. Only 5/10 is missing.

[desert laurel]

that's interesting. My event store still shows 5 as available

perhaps you've hit a buy limit

[rough frost]

I spend everything on rom credit, and it disappear too, but I still see the other stuff. Probably just a bug, all the store should disappear when zero token left, but it only take out the item you were buying probably. Let wait tomorrow, see if that come back when we cash the last 500 stuff

[keen crag]

Same thing happened to me, I think there was an unlisted limit

[wind fog]

With typical event store, items disappear after you hit the buy limit. For example, ship bps.

[keen crag]

But there was no limit listed

[hexed lark]

Why are there NO rare armadas spawning for well over 24hrs???

[small shore]

you know discord has a dark theme right???

[honest atlas]

Does anyone remember the tasks for Rift #3 and #4?

[sonic cloud]

Are we getting another jelly event soon

[lethal lotus]

Nothing like having a armada event for only uncommon when you can't find a uncommon armada forever. @rough mulch <@&509691205798592532>

[random tide]

@honest atlasno rift 4, make it so day 4 is so people can claim their rewards from rift 3. rift 3 is same as rift one but also armadas counted for big points

[gray ravine]

Just wait till we have to do this event for rares and epics. Once again, scopely fails to fix issues they have been made aware of

[fathom shuttle]

Armadas count unless they don't. 😂

[random tide]

true

i mean they did fix it... but yeah

[deep steeple]

Allowing exchange armadas to score in these events would eliviate some of the frustration as they spawn regularly but they never include them.

[pseudo rover]

As would increasing uncommon armada spawn rate but after a year of hammering on the subject, they increased the spawn rate of the premium ones and launched an event that excludes them. Words cannot describe my state of mind on this.

https://tenor.com/view/white-guy-blinking-drew-scanlon-what-whut-wat-gif-15689695

[forest jasper]

Dear Scopely,
do something with Armadas from time to time: yes!
Do everything with Armadas at the same time: oh fckng no!!!

[plucky ermine]

<@&509690795536941056> <@&509691611903426561> So, is scopely aware of the Armada scoring bug/exploit? And what are they gonna do about it?

<@&509691205798592532> 👆

[tawny marsh]

@plucky ermine obviously not

[dire veldt]

If you are aware of any exploit affecting event scoring feel free to pm myself or any moderator about it and we will make sure it's known about if not already

[earnest hornet]

What is it your referring too??

What is the scoring issue that is happening?

[tawny marsh]

Its obvious isnt it? The first person to do an armada locks out the rest of the server from being able to compete by stopping the respawn of the armada.

This exploit causes the armada to take up 24 hours to respawn

Therefore they get an unfair scoring advantage

[narrow crypt]

Run the armada before the event then... Stop others getting it.

[plucky ermine]

A certain type of armada is rewarding 10x more points then it should.

[winged tulip]

tbh we've got way more points than i'd expect from mostly running uncommons, but i have no idea what is scoring extra

[empty kiln]

How many more days of Picard coins are there? Or is this it?

[ripe granite]

If that's true it would explain alot

[cunning arrow]

Today’s Rare Armada Event is gonna be a disaster. Thx Scopely for taking all the fun out of what was one of my fav features in this game. Wasting endless hours, just scanning systems, not even any combat, all so I can miss out on a target by seconds. This is taking the grinding to a sadistic new low

[quaint moth]

Why is rift 3 24 hours, description says it should be 12 hours?

[tidal storm]

?.....

[tawny marsh]

Realllyyy???

[proven bluff]

Another great job by Scopley launching an event

[junior violet]

They have idea of server loads as they don't test anything!

Have no idea sorry*

[urban crown]

zero armadas up XD

[unkempt tinsel]

The point amounts required to finish the rare armada event knowing full well they are in extremely limited supply is way too high. Should be at most one and done, or spend directives and done.

[torpid light]

No rare armadas anyway. To save endless searching can scopely just post when they hit the refresh button please.

[tribal elbow]

Seems like the hardest armada event to finish we had so far. Cant wait for the epic version next week. 👍

[rough frost]

Because everyone scream last time it was 12h, so they made it 24 h and made "make it so" one more day to have time to collect rewards of rift 3

[quaint moth]

Ah ok thanks

[pale steppe]

Rift 3 description says 12 hours, but click on the event counting down from 24

Assume no revision of copy text

[junior violet]

No testing done as always!

[unkempt tinsel]

The reward payouts on this rare armada event are pretty horrendous compared to what people have to spend directive wise to finish. It’s a little out of whack when the uncommon armada event has a better payout for the directives than the rare. Don’t waste your directives folks.

[gray ravine]

Slow clap for scopely once again putting out an impossible armada event with terrible rewards...

[torpid light]

No rares available on our entire server, and we are a low activity server. High activity servers must be horrendous.

[tribal elbow]

Whats wrong with the rewards? Just a bonus on what you would normally get from running them.

[junior violet]

My alliance has 2 members that are active, that would require 8 rare armadas at lvl26 to complete the event for pittance in return for what would be 1600 rare directives of which we are rewarded 2 at a time for running uncoms.....thats 20 uncoms per rare to do 8 rares, that 160 uncoms at 15 minutes each followed by 8 rares at the same time which is 42 hours to complete a 24 hour event......erm????

[urban crown]

Do we need now buy armadas? ....

[tribal elbow]

Problem is that the event will be impossible to finish for a large portion of players. Not just impossible for F2P or whatever. There's not going to be enough targets to kill.

[urban crown]

for 99.99 u can buy a aramda ...

[slow sedge]

5 of 10 got removed from my event store. Is there anyone having the same problem?

[junior violet]

Or not as the case may be! Not giving these cowboys a penny!

[lilac glacier]

Fed creds got removed from the event store for my end.

[gray ravine]

And to top it off, not only do you have to spend hours tracking down rare armadas, they also included another uncom armada event too. Scopely, you do realize there is only 24 hours in a day and doctors recommend some of that be spent sleeping

[unkempt tinsel]

The problem with the rewards is in what you have to spend in directives to get it. There’s only 6 systems with the lvl 38 rares that have the best payouts outside of deep space. At lvl 36, I have to have 19k credits for a full rare chest pull. If I have to do 4-5 lower lvl armadas just complete an event that pays 30 uncommon crystal and not have enough to do a full pull that can net me over 400, then the event payout isn’t worth it. It’s about the worth of what has to be spent to complete that makes the payout bad

[untold wedge]

I've had sulo removed my end

[junior violet]

This entire arc has been a shit fest from start to finish. May consider not playing after this as Scopely see us all as cash cows nowadays! And even those who pay get overlooked for Scopelys greed!

[sleek ibex]

Where are the rare armadas? Geez gonna be a long day. Light dumpster fire!

[lilac glacier]

@slow sedge Thats frustrating.

[gray ravine]

Recommend everyone open a ticket in game. Event obviously designed wrong or spawn rate not matching. Let's make our voices heard

[leaden spoke]

Scoply: this ebvent is stupit. Cyncel it: NOW

[junior violet]

Why? I opened my last ticket and it got closed with an answer totally unrelated to my question......seems pointless tbh!

[neat mirage]

I have the same problem... have you found a solution yet?

[lilac glacier]

Nope.

[gray ravine]

Of course it's pointless. But if we don't make our voices heard, nothing will ever change. Maybe flooding their support system will get their attention

[junior violet]

Maybe. But tbh I reckon everyone downing tools and not playing for days on end is the only way to make them realise their faults!

[lilac glacier]

Sounds like this is happening to a few people here and its different items. Lol

[alpine snow]

I don't feel Scopley gave us enough stuff to do on Fathers Day. Sheesh 😳

[abstract gate]

You actually think they care the game is pants 😆😆😆

[junior violet]

Agree! As said before it'll take my alliance 42 hours of solid play to complete the rare armada event

[glass estuary]

I haven't seen a rare 38 since yesterday

[lilac glacier]

It just randomly popped back in my store.

[neat mirage]

lol here too

they are gone again 🤣 at least I bought them quick enough

[lilac glacier]

😂

Ffs 🤦‍♂️

[stuck geode]

Respawn of these armadas are horrendous as normal.

[lilac glacier]

@stuck geode But they said they made the spawns faster. 😂

[near sequoia]

????????

[stuck geode]

Sure they did....

Doesn't feel like it. Lol

[near sequoia]

announced 3 days but 4 days.... last event period was 3 days too

pretty unfair for busy ppl, who cant play during week

[lilac glacier]

@stuck geode Yeppers, idk wtf scopleys definition of "faster" is. Lol

[near sequoia]

adding 1 day is faster in their case 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[lilac glacier]

Heres........

How........

Fast......

[near sequoia]

😂

[lilac glacier]

Rare......

Armada.....

[near sequoia]

re

[lilac glacier]

Spawns.....

[near sequoia]

😂😂😂

[lilac glacier]

Its....

Extreme.....

Ly........

[near sequoia]

56k modem style

[lilac glacier]

Fast......

😂

It'll....

Be....

500

[stuck geode]

We know they can do it... Since the spawns on exchange aren't to bad. They should make the rest the same.

[lilac glacier]

Years......

Before an armada spawns. Lol

[stuck geode]

Ya I sat looking at a system for an hour and no spawns....

[lilac glacier]

If i remember, some of them can take 6 - 12 hours to respawn.. idk.

[twilit summit]

Rift3 should be 12 hours right?

[stuck geode]

Right now this event is time waste and pure luck if I load one of the systems before everyone else and able to grab the armada.

[twilit summit]

You can kill hostiles

[proven bluff]

Exactly how much time are we supposed to spend on this idiocy?

[south arrow]

What an epic fail scopley a complete joke

[somber vault]

stupid armada events. what we all need to stear in system for them to respawn. its joke

[proven bluff]

Do any or the devs actually play the game outside of their sandbox?

[stone grail]

You think your milestones are bad

[proven bluff]

And of course, the Devs dump this garbage on us and spend the day hiding

[stone grail]

I have loads of epic armada directives, no rare though, and the g4 uncommon chests that cost the earth, gave me 2, that’s right 2 rare directives 😂

[stuck geode]

Hey atleast the event isn't epic armadas

[proven bluff]

And it’s not like the payouts are anything to to handstands over

[somber vault]

next one is epic

[stuck geode]

The rewards for this rare event really aren't worth the time invested

The rewards in uc are what 1 refinery pull

[stone grail]

That’ll be impossible with the spawn timers

[abstract gate]

Thats tomorrow 😆

[stuck geode]

I am personally saving my rares for jelly or other events that need them and pay better

[pliant igloo]

Is armada broken again on Rift #3?

[proven bluff]

Would it surprise you if it is?

[stuck geode]

Though I have never seen so many armadas in non faction space.

[pliant igloo]

They reset Rift #3 back to 24 hours and Make it so to 4 days so that the system can do math correctly.

[stuck geode]

Each system has like 6 each

It's as if the non faction space armadas are counting toward the total number of armadas that are allowed to spawn at one time in the universe. 😂

Since no one kills them because they don't count... They limit the faction armadas. 🙊

[serene raptor]

Who does the maths at scopely? Need to find a new numbers guy clearly as this rubbish keeps happening. It's like they don't know their own game at all at times

[stuck geode]

Hiring competent people cost money.

Easier to outsourcing it to the same group that does the support line

[proven bluff]

This event is designed to make you desperate to find rare armadas and play any one you can find no matter how low the level. That makes you waste the directives they gave you a good deal on in the packs they sold yesterday

#scam

[gritty tulip]

This armada event is ridiculously with respawn rates of Amanda's 👎👎👎👎

[scenic elk]

A complete and utter disappointment. 3 Rare 38 to finish the event when you either can’t find any or don’t have the directives to start them.

[proven bluff]

Which is exactly why I won’t play.

[gritty tulip]

And there seam to be a problem with some armadas as they give more points as they should

[proven bluff]

Whatever you do, don’t waste your rare directives on low level armadas. That’s exactly what Scopley wants you to do

[tribal elbow]

Everyone should have the directives, you have been given 300 from UC events

This is just another push for PvP over armadas, there's no other reason to keep the spawn rates so low.

[stuck geode]

I mean I truly believe scopely thinks they fixed it... They probably just don't understand how their own game code works.

[unkempt tinsel]

300 is nowhere near enough to complete 😂. Even if you have saved like I do you may not have enough unless you can get the higher lvl targets.

[neat plover]

the points awarded for rift 3 are off. Armada counting as regular hostiles

[tribal elbow]

5 person team, that's 5 starts now go fight for those 38s

[gray ravine]

Hour and 20 minutes in...no available rares spotted. What a great way to spend my father's day

[unkempt tinsel]

76 in my alliance all wanting the same targets not to mention the rest of the server, but funny joke 😂

[sonic stirrup]

So Scopely...about that armada respawn fix you supposedly did, that coming out next year?

[stuck geode]

@neat plover they haven't fixed it since the last rift event

[tawny marsh]

0 rares on my server

[stuck geode]

Broken this are a norm

@tawny marsh look in non faction space there are a bunch.... But then again they don't count to the event

[tribal elbow]

I believe armadas always score as hostiles, bonus points for it being an armada might not show properly but should still be added

[wind fog]

It was broken last time. How do we know it’s working now?

[sharp raft]

Dear Scopely, reducing rare spawn time by 25% but changing event to eliminate 25% of the rare armada systems makes it just as frustrating as it was before.

[leaden spoke]

Dont think bad of scoply.. they are just counting money

[abstract gate]

Everyone remember to send thank you notes for the frustrating, likely impossible Father’s Day events!

[gritty tulip]

Next week's epic armada event will be much more fun 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[proven bluff]

Don’t play the rare event or the epic when it comes. Scopley is just trying to troll you into wasting directives

[sour plaza]

Dunno about you guys but I love searching empty systems over and over again hoping an armada spawns for 3 days straight

[lilac glacier]

I'm not doing the rift events again, i already did the rift events and got the picard facepalm avatar. Lol

Without using armadas.

[proven bluff]

The event awards suck. Save your directives so you can use them on decent armadas

[lilac glacier]

Remember when we had an event that actually rewarded 900 rare directives? Yeah i wish we get an event like that back. Lol

Scopleys putting way to much value on these refresh tokens.

[zealous star]

Thanks scopely for the not so frequent armadas during a armada event. How many systems in each faction just add armadas to all of them. Not rocket science just common sense fix to armada spawn rates. Keep players from leaving game over armada issues in game. To the team great work🤣🤣

[cosmic sage]

Scopley intends alliances to fight over armadas. In reality most don't because no one wants one of their armadas to get ganked.

[patent lodge]

Spawns are even less than they should be we have been timing

[serene raptor]

Everyone loves a Wheremada event

[meager zinc]

Right, because who wants someone to come along down the road and gank their epic because someone ganked their uncommon/rare

[fast wave]

[cedar plinth]

Me when Scopely keeps talking about fixing problems

[cunning arrow]

“You didn’t fix the spawn rates, prepare to die.” 🤣

[left moth]

Thanks Scopely got screwing me on the first Picard event bu making Rift 3 a 12 hour event, so I opt out of the second Picard event and this time Rift 3 is a 24 hour event. If only you possessed a means to communicate how the events would run. 👏👏👏👏

[twilit summit]

Event description also state 12 hours haha

[willow pine]

@twilit summit ?

[twilit summit]

Strange

[willow pine]

@twilit summit I just noticed that the "update" for the game is available for download, now I will install it and check it again.

@twilit summit no, nothing has changed, but how long does this timer show for you?

[dire veldt]

Rift #3 is 24hrs, and make it so runs for an additional 24hrs without a rift event

[abstract gate]

Loving the “watch the paint dry” style armadas event. Just saying.

[steady knot]

I see everyone is loving the latest armada event too.

[tulip holly]

Yes. Lovely event to decrease our game time commitment. 😏

[tardy moon]

Are you planning to spawn armadas at a reasonable rate at some point? Why the hell should I waste hours scouring systems only to find the ONLY mada was snatched by another team literally the second I find it.

Screw that. I have much better things to do with my life.

[steady knot]

I love how ironic it is that event group is "ARMADAS UNLEASHED!" 👀

[lean ridge]

How ridiculous, Armada event without Armadas,
We fix it they said it comes double fast time they said

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahshahahanananajajshshshdhrjfjdidh

[inner fiber]

Armadas: UNLEASHED*

*no really they got off the leash we don’t know where they are HELP

-scopely

[lean ridge]

Even if the armadas comes double time faster are from 6 hours still 3 hours left, that's so annoying and frustrating
Well not done scopely again well not done 👎👎👎

[languid cove]

It took awhile, but scopely finally managed to make armadas worse. Bravo!

[tardy moon]

@languid cove 👀
Is that my wolf?

[hallow ember]

Wow. A rare armada event again with spawn rates that are still horrible on them and a high enough cap that you have to kill a ton of them that are not available. Thanks scopely

[languid cove]

Always

[sudden ledge]

<@&509690795536941056> Maybe not run 98987987987 events on Father’s Day? Christ it’s gonna take me 8 hours to get everything done

[lost abyss]

It’s scopelys way of trying to make people fight endlessly over the armadas. More fighting= more repairs, more repairs means more rss packs bought. The aristocrats.

[twilit summit]

1 hour 30 minutes there are no rare armada respawn 🙈🙈🙈

[stone grail]

Yeah except you can’t find armadas to fight over

[hallow ember]

I follow your cash grab logic, but if they wont even spawn their logic there fails quite a bit.

[stuck geode]

Or just increase the spawn rate to the same as exchange. So we could find one.

[tardy moon]

So stupidly funny (in a bad way) to see a bunch of high 30s huddled around a lvl 23 mada cuz its the only one they can find... I mean, SERIOUSLY?!

And I'm talking about a top tier alliance, here.

[stuck geode]

Just wait till you see the 40+ hitting those same L23 armada

[tardy moon]

This is a waste of directives.

[lost abyss]

Add in that the payouts on 41 rares are extremely not worth the power needed and repair costs to 4* ships, and, well, we got scopelyed. Remember folks, it ain’t right until it’s Scopely Right™️

[tardy moon]

Our 40+ are focused up in dark space madas. Top tier alliances have that extra option.

[lost abyss]

A 41 rare has smaller payout than two 38s and takes more than than 3x the power.

[twilit summit]

Is like the rewards on different repu levels

200% of rss for extra 10% payout 🙈🙈🙈

[tardy moon]

I wish I could ping Scopely directly to shame them. This is bullshit. That could be taken down solo by our lowest level player... but there is nothing else out there!

[abstract gate]

It’s hard to fathom that they could continue to get worse at this month after month after month.

[inner fiber]

It’s almost impressive when you think about it

[abstract gate]

It would be, but we know if that was their intent, they’d fail miserably.

In other words if they were trying to make the game more frustrating, things might actually improve.

[novel spruce]

Armardas and Noe to find anywhere, bad joke

[gray ravine]

Going into hour 3 of doing nothing but looking for rare armadas. What an event

[quick socket]

Another terrible event from scopely! WOOOOO!

[winter quarry]

Yeah 6-8 systems that have 38 rare armada possibly but let’s make the scoring require 2 to finish… or 20 26s please pay a ridiculous amount of money…

[plain flint]

Easy fix scopely have 1 server 48hrs ahead rest of us.
Then can find latest cluster and have a day to fix rest of the mugs playing this game.!!

[lost abyss]

Send in support tickets complaining about poor spawn rate, only way they’ll address it is if enough people from enough servers get on them about it

[winter quarry]

Lol like crashes and ghost reds?

Or stuck menus on return from crew changes?

Or griefing by whales?
The list goes on forever….

[lost abyss]

Then, at the probability of likely getting censored or vacationed from this discord for a day or more, get more drastic. Get people together and send tickets in stating people will be stopping doing things like spending for a set period of time until certain QoL things are addressed.

[abstract gate]

Cmon scopely sort this out, no unc or rare armadas available for a server full of players wanting to complete their solo events. You are pushing us away from the game. I’m close to quitting, why spend 3 hrs looking for an armada, waste of time.

[zealous fog]

directives should be the limiting factor on completing events. Not the spawn rate. I don't get the strategy of keeping armada spawn rates so incredibly low

[bold girder]

This event can suck my plums.

[untold wedge]

3 hours in an not a single 32 or above rare armada has respawned so much for increasing the spawn rates 🤣🤣🤣

[zealous fog]

I just sent a ticket into scopely. If everyone floods them with tickets, maybe they will start to pay attention

[hollow fossil]

respawn rates should be in minuts not hours for these event

[zealous fog]

regular armada spawn rates should be the same as eclipse armadas. Why the disparity?

[hollow fossil]

exactly

[twilit summit]

So 2 hours 45 minutes gone and still no rare respawn 😅😅😅

[fathom shuttle]

Initial idea was players/alliances fighting over this scarce resource. Obviously so scopely can sell more packs.

[zealous fog]

If that's the case, then their attempt at forced pvp has failed again. roe of 99% of alliances on my server don't allow a forced takeover of an armada in progress. Scopely is behind the 8 ball on how players play this game.

[hollow fossil]

same on most servers

[winter quarry]

Same on 22

[hollow fossil]

and its logical, funny

[fathom shuttle]

Ofc. Scopely has not the slightest clue about how players actually play.

[quick socket]

It seems to be a pretty linear thought process:

Lower armada timers = more directives spent = more $packs$

How do they continually fk this stuff up?

[zealous fog]

a forced takeover of an armada in progress would be a declaration of war, which none of the alliances I know of want. The alliances that have shady tactics and ROE go extinct within months.

[winter quarry]

Lol because perfect description https://media.tenor.co/videos/43159cb2f876ea67b6f5d2ff3ae48338/mp4

[quick socket]

Even if it's just during the armada events. Lower the damn spawn rates.

[lost abyss]

Repeat after me: “it’s not right until it’s Scopely Right™️”

[hollow fossil]

right, cause the fight against the game is bad enough to kill progression and most of the player base isn't falling into needless wars just cause

[quick socket]

"it's not right until it's Scopely Right ™️"

Okay. Yeah no, that makes sense now!

[lost abyss]

Learn it, Live it, share it

[zealous fog]

Even the players that have been a**holes in the past have adapted to reasonable roe by now because of the toll constant warring takes to progression.

[hollow fossil]

and that says ALOT about how bad things are balanced when that happens

[zealous fog]

the only way you can be an a**hole player now is if you have a few hundred thousand dollars to blow on this game. Even then, at some point I can't imagine that mentality stays fun.

[mint idol]

Just came to see the comments.... wait for the EPIC armada event... if you think the rare one is bad....

[ornate geyser]

Our server has lost some 40+ past couple of weeks. They can't hit bases unless you give them permission and blowing up miners with a 5/6-figure "war"ship gets stale after a while.

[zealous fog]

At my level (37), the rewards from completing the rare armada event are only 30 unc crystal, 9 rare crystal, 140 ind credits, 100 assignment refresh tokens and tri and parsteel. It's not worth spending hours searching for armadas to make the rewards worth it.

[hollow fossil]

your ROE is too limiting then, no loot no shoot, bases are fair game always is about as much as needed

[mint idol]

Or they don’t need the loot cause they are all lvl 50s

[hollow fossil]

or that

[zealous fog]

yea, standard roe on my server for rading bases, is don't hit ally bases, and stop raiding if 5 unique defenders show up. Other than that, it's fair game

[mint idol]

Okay I just came to see if everyone was loving the event!! You have not disappointed me!!

[hollow fossil]

lol, love to hate it

[tawny marsh]

@zealous fog one player on my server tried. Level48, everyone teamed up on him. People chased his Newton down with saladins running PMharrrison. Eventually he learned his lesson

[abstract gate]

Sort the spawn rate for armadas guys, going to have a load of people incapable of doing the event 😡

[gray ravine]

Who would give permission to hit their base? 🤣 That's a terrible roe rule

[ornate geyser]

"Permission" is leaving your base unshielded. They can only whack you if you let them.

[sleek zenith]

Next event will be musical chairs, each server will be allotted 4 chairs....

[plain flint]

Discord more entertaining than the game

[abstract gate]

Fancy creating an event based on defeating rare armadas then not spawn any for anybody to complete the event 🤔

[ashen wharf]

Always has been

[gray ravine]

I can't wait till next week when we do the epic version of the armada event! I'm sure it will be easier and achievable...🙄

[abstract gate]

🤣

[plain flint]

Be another cluster frequency of them getting annoying

Daily poor planning or game glitches ect

Testing weeks in advance

Player satisfaction or dollars ?

[winter token]

Armada event,aber keine zu finden....ihr schafft es immer wieder scheisse zu bauen.keinen Cent werde ich mehr ausgeben unglaublich wie unfähig ihr seid...shame on you scopely🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬

[inner fiber]

Where have all the armadas gone and where are all the rares?

[twilit summit]

Okay the rare didnt respawned in the last 3 and half hours 🙈🙈😅😅😅😅

[inner fiber]

Where’s the high lvl targets we can hit with all our wares?

Isnt there a Re spawn rate that can help us meet our needs?

Something streetwise Hercules something scopely’s events blow

We need armadas!

[gray ravine]

4 hours of scanning for rares 😭😭😭

[twilit summit]

I guess they tripled the respawn not halfed down 😅🙈🙈🙈

[glossy fog]

Oh scopely when you say you will look to reduce the grind I never imagined it would be by introducing impossible armada events

[weak gust]

Please please dont start any Armada Event ever. The respawn Time is the pure ..... "You need uncommon Armadas? please buy the Armada Respawn Pack, it will reduce the respawn Time for all Armadas in your Ally"

[lost abyss]

Long time Pa-a-assing 🎶

[candid monolith]

This is totally awwfffuuull! Really! You said that you increased the number of respawn times 100% and so.. but 0x100 seems still be 0 😭. And totally OK event was turned to whales event who do their 39+ epics and rares... Pfffff

[willow nymph]

This event is completely unrealistic and unachievable in the time frame. Scopley needs to change or compensate us for this event...

[candid monolith]

Reducing game play is not searching armadas for 45 min without seeing any

[blazing tide]

What is this? Armada Event, but spawn rate ridiculous

Spawn rate seems to be reduced by 100%, not increased. Totally unrealistic, not achievable. In 2 hours just one (!!) rare 23. Points? Ridiculous

[gray ravine]

Scopely please learn that server wide armada events don't work!

[gray ravine]

I've been at it for over 4 hours! Still haven't finished event

[candid monolith]

@gray ravine on 1st step... Thx to others

[distant barn]

Scopely never going to force people in to PVP over armadas because they make the directives too scarce.
Nobody want to rock the boat, cost they'll just get screwed with in return.

Even if they just launched a free 'common' armada to pay out directives.

[torpid light]

If scopely think that enjoyable gameplay is searching the same 12 systems for rare armadas, and after 2 hours you haven’t seen any then I think they won’t have a game by the end of the year.
It’s worse than ‘pay to play’, it’s ‘we won’t even let anyone play’.

[inner fiber]

💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

[mint idol]

This is ridiculous. Nearly 5 hours of searching and not a single rare armada done 😡

[scenic elk]

not even finding uncommons anymore

https://tenor.com/view/shame-go-t-game-of-thrones-walk-of-shame-shameful-gif-4949558

[shrewd parcel]

should rename to 'What *** armadas?!' 😛

[lean ridge]

All know the game "where is Waldo?"

It's the same game just with Armadas

[shrewd parcel]

well.. except that waldo is actually somewhere 😛

[viral forge]

You know what's funny Fockley, spend all day looking for rare armada that dont exist, stop with all the rare events douchebags

[abstract gate]

This is BS

The points needed for solo are bonkers

Even if you have the dirs, the armadas just aren’t there to run.

[cedar plinth]

sure they are...they are all just in Deep Space

[abstract gate]

At Lv33 I need to complete two Lv38 rares

As well as half our server.

SMS should be achievable by all. SLB is your spending competition.

Reality is three quarters of the server aren’t gonna get close

[cedar plinth]

if it was do damage too, or it was ANY rare including Eclipse...wouldn't be an issue honestly

[abstract gate]

Yep, but the whales need two/three Lv38s

So less slots for mid to low levels.

Just more poorly thought out stuff from Scopely

[cedar plinth]

I need 4 lvl 38's...meaning I would have to be in almost all of them

[minor wren]

Just make armadas instant respawn. The delay serves no useful purpose

[candid monolith]

Most sadistic game of the Year 2021...

[abstract gate]

I’ve spent the whole fecking night looking through empty systems.

This isn’t a game, this is punishment.

[candid monolith]

i guess they are enjoing to see us cry out loud :)

[junior violet]

And not a single Scopely employee or contractor has made a comment on their shining turd of an event as of yet! Poor form Scopely!!!!

[abstract gate]

https://tenor.com/view/business-as-usual-diana-trout-younger-gif-younger-tv-gif-11996268

[abstract gate]

There are more epics than rares on 168.

[fresh marlin]

I found 3 lvl 32-35 rares searching 9 systems for 3 hours… my maths is pretty good so I know the chances of completing the event are 0.000%

[proven bluff]

The solution to this is just put in a ticket telling Scopley to f-off and refuse to waste your time and your directives on this garbage pathetic excuse for an event

The devs are trolling us. Accept that and it will be easy to just ignore the event

[fresh marlin]

If scopely dev was responsible for changing spawn rate, was prolly same one responsible for fixing JF event

[floral pike]

This event is just ridiculous

[fresh marlin]

They have had a bet internally to see if they can make it even more infuriating than the exchange event

[atomic lake]

Rubbish Event ...

[tulip owl]

It’s a hot mess…. As per! Fair play they made one event impossible for the majority of players (rare armadas), more chaos than the prior Stella armada events (uncommon armada) and then to kick you in the privates…. The impact it has on rift #3 scoreing means only the people staying up all-night (like the 12 hour event) will be successful.
Masterpiece guys!

[steady seal]

https://tenor.com/view/shit-jurassic-part-dr-malcolm-dinosaur-poop-gif-5262492

[fresh marlin]

“Here spend £100 on directives it will be great!!”

[abstract gate]

Hope the useless idiots actually read this stuff, maybe it might incite them to learn to code

[fresh marlin]

Oh sorry didn’t we tell you that you can’t spend them… absolute joke

[steady seal]

https://tenor.com/view/spit-take-laugh-lmao-gif-9271200

[tulip owl]

I’ve sent my feedback in the support tickets too 👍

[proven bluff]

This is exactly why I told my alliance I wasn’t playing this PoS and will run my armadas for them during the week

[atomic lake]

I refuse to waste anymore time on this event, even if I spent on directives no bloody Armardas can be found💩

[gray ravine]

The sad thing is that even if we accepted the extreme difficulty of the event, the rewards don't justify it. They are not proportional to the event

[abstract gate]

don't know what they are playing at, but then again, neither do they 😦

[proven bluff]

Either that or they are actively trolling their paying customers

[abstract gate]

would like to know if we can get a refund on the armada pack? Haven't even been able to spend any

[tawny marsh]

@abstract gate googleplay

[fresh marlin]

Are simply resellers of the app packs, please speak to the app manufacturer re any complaint…

We are all screwed… yet will still buy the next new shiny pack they put up

[ivory shell]

This event is hot garbage. What a joke the respawn timer rework was when they put events like this in. I've never had an event make me turn off the game before, but this one just did.

[sand anvil]

Guys, there’s a massive bug in the system that’s causing all the problems. Check the store, if you don’t have the “Buy a rare armada” pack for £99 each, limit 4, then you have the bug and should report 😂

[surreal magnet]

These Armadas are a bit like Ferengi Borg Premium Latinum refines, you spend your money to get them then find there isn't any in the first place.

[proven bluff]

There will be plenty on Tuesday

Eff this event

#ScopleyScam

[random tide]

its fathers day, ignore the rare event and go celebrate

[surreal magnet]

I have more chance of seeing a flying pig in Borg space than a Ferengi trader

[sand anvil]

I don’t even think the rewards are actually worth it anyway.

[random tide]

exactly

[sand anvil]

That’s easily arranged, my alliance is called UPIG, I see flying pigs every day 😂

[surreal magnet]

I take it back, pigs do fly 🤣🤣👍

Someone should tell Scopely

[sand anvil]

About flying pigs?

[surreal magnet]

Yeah, they might increase the rate of Ferengi traders

[strong kayak]

I thought that y’all improved the reset times for the armadas…..

So much for that

[sand anvil]

I would go to Borg space but no tokens lol

[sand anvil]

They did, and added cloaking feature 😂

[sudden otter]

Too many armada events and not enough armadas. And on a holiday. Scopely at thier finest.

[tawny marsh]

Can you believe this??? They have no idea how the events work

[fast drift]

You got to keep your eye on a spawn point they are grabbed up as soon as they spawn making everyone think they aren't spawning any quicker than before

[proven bluff]

Why would they know how the events work when they’ve never played?

[surreal magnet]

Cheezy by name... obviously cheesy by nature😆

[cedar plinth]

Why are you saying they don't know how it works??

[dim cargo]

Second Wave is pathetic

[stuck geode]

You know I would believe it was just competition with these armadas if I saw others taking them. But when I check lots of systems regularly no one is there doing any. So I call #@&# on them increasing the armada spawn rates.

[tawny olive]

It was much better when they announced, but now they spawn rates seem to be back to the way they were before they announced an increase

@rough mulch Can you confirm the armadas spawn rate increase is still in effect?

[stuck geode]

Well when you check systems 10 or so systems over and over over an hour and don't see anyone doing armadas.... That's well bad

[sudden ledge]

Spawn rates for rares were increased .0000001%

Been watching one for almost 3 hours and no respawn

[proud solar]

I'd like to see keenser & co released vids.of how these events work,using real accounts on real servers... not to put Rev or Dj ( and every other cc🖖😃) out of a gig, but to see how they cope,"working as intended" & wasting 3 days of their lives for 9 Picard shards...

[burnt solstice]

Armadas event needs a rethink. Spawn rate is very poor. Most of us don’t have the time to be cycling through the system for hours trying to catch armadas. 👎

[tawny marsh]

@cedar plinth did you read what they wrote?

[burnt solstice]

Increase the spawn rate comparable to eclipse. Introduce an alliance leaderboard. See the packs fly of the shelf 💵

[nimble kraken]

Stop prioritizing the increase of screen time for all players and prioritize their enjoyment. 10x spawn rate or quit it with the marathon armada events.

[quasi harbor]

Please stop with the endless cycle of armada events unless you increase spawn rates.

[proud solar]

🤣😂🤣

Yup,at 2am🖖😃

[tulip holly]

Think they increased the time it takes to spawn them. Takes twice as long, maybe longer now. They're almost mythical at this point.

[sudden ledge]

I agree

[proud solar]

Way to fizzle a 3day event

[odd arch]

Junk event.

[abstract gate]

Please fire the armada developer.

[proud solar]

Not loving my missing 8 crusher shards are a spendevent... my alliance went 3rd to 5th in 30 min, by millions, folks buying crusher family packs... tallyho,but,wheres f2p path of acquisition?... same as Jala,8 shards shy... new hook? Leave f2p shy so they Have to purchase to unlock? By proxy?👀

[desert laurel]

bev should be in the end of arc event store

[proud solar]

Agreed,should be... but $copely stole getsmart's "cone of silence"🖖😎☕

[gray ravine]

Stopped to get dinner, but I am now at over 5 hours of gametime dedicated to looking for rares...still not done with event

[proud solar]

Can't be done,it's why they did the patch increase " 100% &50%" to erares & epics$copely math notwithstanding...🤷‍♂️

[stuck geode]

We waited 2 years for armadas to come out. What's waiting one hour for a rare to spawn.... #ComingSoon 😂

[random tide]

imagine the rage when picard isnt in arc 4 event store

[desert laurel]

that'd be a disaster

all these tng crew kinda depend on him

[brazen star]

This rare armada event is a joke! It's practically impossible to find any unless you are constantly looking and get lucky. Do better Scopely!

[main cairn]

Both these armada events are terrible. It's impossible to find them without wasting your whole day looking. Very disappointed

[sleek sage]

Agreed here; hours spent checking systems and still not in a single rare. I would need multiple rares to complete the single player daily; how is this remotely a reasonable event? And on Fathers Day nonetheless? Total Fail Scopely.

[ocean raven]

Is this Make it so event 4 days or still 3?

[plain flint]

Sure you would shut down all servers if offers giving a 50% discount
But your bad planning gets no help to the players !!

A typical

Plz adopt kiss to stfc
Kiss = keep it simple stupid

[quasi harbor]

This is ridiculous that you released an event for armadas and the armada spawn rate is Extremely slow. Please stop trying to increase time spent in game and make milestones obtainable. Would have no problem if it were any rares but you restricted itbto only faction armadas. Worst idea ever.

[royal bear]

Let the freakin armadas spawn every 5 min after its killed! This is BS

Dolphins cant spend money on armada packs because armadas arent spawning. Whales have all the armadas they want up there in "untouchable to everyone else" space

[median kraken]

Armada event is a joke. People are wasting hours looking for armadas that just don’t spawn. You’ve known about this and still push armada events. Way to screw your client base.

[zealous fog]

And on top of that, the rewards for the rare armada event just aren't worth the hours of looking for armadas

a bit of unc and rare crystal, tritanium and para. thats it

[raw bobcat]

Scopely is always looking for new low point in gamer experience.

If Star Trek would not be my favorite franchise ever i would quit this game long time ago.

This is pure bs.

Armadas not spawning, Rift #3 suppose to be 12h its 24h, points are calculated on lottery...

Ugh i'm so pissed off

[meager wing]

Rift #3 was changed based on player feedback from the last event, and was announced through content creators. You’d have to know to listen to their rambling, though. So shame on you if you don’t have hours to spend listening to useless rambling to get one point across

[raw bobcat]

yea, perfect communication then.
Not to mention that they couldn't be bothered to change description in game to match this change.

[zealous fog]

for my level, it would take 20 level 26 rares, 4 level 35 rares, or 2 level 38 rares to finish. All my alliance has been able to find today is level 26's. Would take 4,000 rare directives to complete even IF the armadas were spawning at a reasonable rate. No way i'm wasting 4,000 rare directives to get a piddly amount of unc and rare crystal

This event blows. The epic armada event will blow too at this rate

[meager wing]

Why waste directives at all? The alliance rewards are crap

I’m “lucky” enough to be able to hit dark space armadas. But it leaves the rest of my alliance (45 players) who can’t reach there SOL

[plain flint]

They had this 3 days in a row armadas takes 7 days accumulate 100 directives

Besides alliance store 100 directives

[zealous fog]

I usually only start level 38 rares anyway to get the rare armada credits. Just wish they would spawn

[cursive gale]

Hey scopely... where are the armadas!?!?!?!

[silent timber]

What happened to doing events that shouldn’t take forever and dominate players lives? Come on scopely this event was a EPIC waste of my holiday. You are killing my desire to play your game.

[weary axle]

this is so bad

[tawdry notch]

Scopley doesn't even make money from a poor event like this... Like sure people can spend money on directives, but what's the point if there are no rare armadas to be found?

At least most cases you can blame their need for money... This case is all just poor planning

[earnest hornet]

thats the problem, they probably would make a bit more out of them if they spawned better

but it has been like this since they first came out

[tawdry notch]

Exactly. If they increased the spawn rate they would make more money. Someone needs to tell their financial team about this huge gap in funding 🤣

[earnest hornet]

they have improved the spawn rate a little for Rares and epics, hope they track and see this and improve it some more

[ashen nest]

Nobody wants to spend their day hunting for Armadas only to be out clicked every time

[tawdry notch]

I feel like the spawn rate has dropped.... At least from my perspective when armadas first started

[earnest hornet]

but they did originally want them to be have some pvp aspect too, winner takes it.

[ashen nest]

What scopely wants and what paying players want are 2 completely different things.

[earnest hornet]

so in that sense i see the reason, but i think this long it (the pvp) hasn't happened, so dont think it will

[ashen nest]

Just wait for the epic event tomorrow... Will be 20x worse

[earnest hornet]

https://tenor.com/view/vince-vaughn-negative-town-wedding-crashers-dont-be-negative-gif-12345613

https://tenor.com/view/shhh-shush-silence-nose-gif-17895433

[quasi harbor]

Lol epic event will be huge waste of time. I honestly feel at times we are talking to brick walls at scopely.

[twin karma]

I agree this weeks events rank with watching paint dry.

[ashen nest]

Insult to injury are the refresh tokens in these ffs

[tawny marsh]

You know these are amatuer developers when they think they can control how players play their game

[ashen nest]

"The only winning move is not to play."

[inner fiber]

I mean the recipe for pvp around armadas is: make armadas relatively scarce, but not so scarce that the stakes for losing one are massive, and make them accessible (low entry cost)

So similar number of armadas, but respawn every, say, 20 min, and you don’t need many directives to light them. And even then, you have to accept that it’s a lot easier for most players to just not start shit over something that’s accessible.

[ashen nest]

They could at least let us turn off armada notifications.

"Ooh an Armada, I will log in and join the fight!" - No one, ever

[glossy narwhal]

Super fun event Scopely. 90% of my in game time today has been spent searching for rare armadas and all I've found are empty systems...

[ornate geyser]

The rewards for the rare event are supremely underwhelming - not sure I understand why people are spending so much time chasing it.

Just let it go...

[mental nova]

Yes the rare armada event sucks. But also what is going on with Make it So? Today’s Rift #3 12 hour event became a 24hr and now there is another day on the whole thing. Does anyone know what is going on?

[ornate geyser]

Was just wondering about the extra 24 hrs myself. I...got nothing, lol.

[weary axle]

maybe a whole day for the wesley owners to score? the last time they ran this, they gave wesley owners an extra 12 hrs to score

[desert laurel]

the extra 24h at the end of rift3 are to give people time to claim the pts from rift3 to count toward the meta event

[shy surge]

People have to have time to collect rift 3 so the points count to overall event

[desert laurel]

there will only be 3 events, details are listed in the meta event "make it so"

[ornate geyser]

The main event runs 24 hrs past the last Rift. Can't collect more Rift 3 points in the last 24 hrs of Make It So...unless they change something.

[weary axle]

Right, no more rift events, but technically Make it So allows you to score 3pts per hostile, 10pts w/wesley as capt.

[somber flame]

Scopley your armadas event on father's day sucks.

No rare armadas to be found, been searching way to long.

[tawdry notch]

Reasoning for complaint for me is the fact I got adhd and have to finish every event or go crazy... I know rewards suck, but I gotta finish events

[quasi harbor]

Find it amazingly ironic scopely keeps trying to force buying and force pvp around armadas. They wont listen as most wont fight over rare or epics

[weak copper]

The same complaints about lack of armadas are made every time an armada event runs. Running an event for a subset of all armadas was clearly going to be a bad idea. There’s no way that Scopely weren’t aware of this when they planned this arc presumably months ago.

[somber flame]

Or at least make all armadas count for points.

[tawdry notch]

Fun Fact for adhd. Yes, staying focused is an issue... But games keep you focused since they are constant stimuli (aka nostop system hunting for rares 🖕)

[minor bolt]

Have to agree with many, this armada event sucks.

[tawdry notch]

This one prevents non-faction armadas when any rare armada was already an issue

[weak copper]

Yep

[tawdry notch]

My point is they made a common issue with events worse.... After it was known for months.

[quasi harbor]

True that they did. I feel it was along the lines to force people to fight over them more then anything.

[tawdry notch]

The thing is... Scopley doesn't govern server roe. Slow changes do. But throwing this at everyone when many (not all) consider armada pvp not fair.....

From what I have seen majority of servers don't have armada pvp as a thing... Stealing armadas is an alliance pride vs roe lol

[plain flint]

Ko there armada they will ko yours no win situation

Still lose 100 directives so makes little sense

[alpine snow]

Why did rift 3 restart or rather continue?

[plain flint]

Spawn rate and usual pi.ss poor planning

[random tide]

it didnt restart. this is the same rift as the last rift 3

[quick socket]

After the backlash of their last 12hr event they prolonged rift #3 for a full 24hrs, and are giving an additional 24hrs simply to make sure the tickets can be claimed

[alpine snow]

Ah. Didn't pay attention to timer. It did say 12 hrs earlier today when it started

[quick socket]

Lazy editing, most likely.

[plain flint]

They should known problems before today

[tawdry notch]

That's my reasoning. Most armadas are first come first serve, accidentals happen... But cutting back on an issue has been clear from the start and making the issue worse? Especially when their is more money if they fixed it?

[plain flint]

And fixed it before it was a issue!!

[alpine snow]

But they did change the respawn rate before the arc... oh wait, it's still horrible 😂

[quick socket]

Im ops 45 and haven't scored a single point. I'm not going to ruin others play to get into a rare for pisspoor rewards, and I'm in an alliance that can't tackle the 41 rares yet even with the next 5 strongest.

Garbage idea, garbage event. Armadas are already a point of contention during these events, and then to make it specific to rares. Garbage garbage garbage.

[tawdry notch]

I mean, mods should be in this channel. If not they should be at least notified by the server admins know how we all feel

[plain flint]

Must like losing players scopely

[abstract gate]

the mods arent scopely employees, they're players like us

[quick socket]

Don't blame the mods. They're wonderful people.

The devs though. The devs.

[abstract gate]

the devs are only doing what scopely management instruct them to do 🤔

[quick socket]

THEN TELL ME WHERE TO POINT MY ANGER BACON

😂😂

[abstract gate]

https://tenor.com/view/i-dont-know-naku-teliyedhu-gif-cat-animals-gif-18975408

[tawdry notch]

I just don't understand a business strategy that hurts your gains? If rares were more common people would spend more?

[plain flint]

I predicted and update as game was stable. Time to screw the pooch again. This battlepass though new levels of ruining the game.

[alpine snow]

I think I've been in 5 rares today and am only halfway thru. Mainly because all.we could find were 23s

[quick socket]

It's probably the "let's fk up 3 or 4 times in a row, let them get used to our garbage ideas; then give them a decent one, that'll look like a miracle" idea.

[somber flame]

Scopley you Fooked up agian with this event.b

[alpine snow]

Yes 30s level players I know would definitely spend money to do rares if they could find them

[tawdry notch]

Battlepass= more $$ = more money so that will never leave

[plain flint]

Need to lesson the grind make some aspects for events not 8 days a week

36 hrs a day

Want money people need work sleep ect

Events fun not a grind

[quick socket]

To be fair, i do enjoy the grindy events at times.

Especially hostile killing ones. Need me more faction rep.

But understandable it shouldn't be a 40hr/week endeavor for most.

[plain flint]

Fyi be handy too with latest idea new content !!

Leave ship in hostile space overnight cures that

Well loot chests

[feral nexus]

So why did the 12 hour event not actually end and just reset the timer for another 12 hours?

[random tide]

the event was always meant to be 24 hours

the first time it was 12 hours because scopley goofed and realized that make it so and rift 3 ended at the same time. so rewards claimed in rift 3 wouldnt affect make it so, so the changed the event from 12 to 24 hours

this time, its running for 24 hours as intended and they extended make it so but they goofed again on labeling

[feral nexus]

So they didn't have the ability to actually enter a 24 instead of a 12?

[random tide]

like i said, they goofed there.

i know its not a good answer, but its what happened lol

[plain flint]

To be honest would you want come in here from scopely ?

[random tide]

exactly

there are probably plenty of devs in here. but if they outed themseleves. it would be a bloodbath

[plain flint]

They new problems but did zip to fix it !!

[quick socket]

-Scopely
https://c.tenor.com/Hs_AI25DOVAAAAAM/olivia-colman-queen-elizabeth-ii.gif

[random tide]

well, they probably thought the increased armada spawn rates was enough. but clearly wasnt. now they cant do anything about rates unless they do server maintenance.

so the rates we have are what we are gonna get.

so best to ignore the unc crystal and enjoy fathers day

[plain flint]

So they said changed spawn rates by how much .0000001 %?

[random tide]

nah, they did 100% on epics and 50% on rares

[plain flint]

Think server's beg to differ there

[random tide]

so about double the spawn rates for epics and 1.5x rares

nah, we have been tracking them in our server

they are increased

problem is so FEW spawn.

if its 1 per system that can have them and you got 50 alliances with 70 players all going for them, its gonna feel like rates havent changed

because its not enough to go around

[plain flint]

Had it been all armadasfor event been less drama

[random tide]

theres also no reason to finish the event immediately

this morning, 6 am central, i saw uncommons everywhere

[plain flint]

Way set up which is funny they stuffed themselves for $$

Cant do event people arent going buy directives

[random tide]

i agree

i said as much earlier

if they made armadas spawn like emadas, they would sell alot more packs

whats the point of selling dirs if we cant use em, you know

[plain flint]

Problem is rare epic takes forever to get
Whoever in charge marketing no idea

[random tide]

yup, best we can do is adapt and give feedback

[plain flint]

Too much bs should merge some research into others so less catagorys to research

Combine outlaw/away teams

Territory/galaxy research

And fyi or faq when change

Faq must for new content

a sale means actual discount on offers

[random tide]

yeah, their communication is piss poor

for example, the 12 hour vs 24 hour event today

[plain flint]

They can still get dollars and still screw players for $$

[random tide]

if you listen to djz podcats, you knew it was gonna be 24 hrs

if you didnt, then you didnt know anything

and official game info shouldnt only be released through cc

[plain flint]

Actually made effort there make a difference...game information

Being a mushroom for information just increases frustation

[abstract gate]

Scopley we have come to the point where most of us couldn’t finish the rare sms mainly because it’s not “challenging” but it’s because the rares are gone .. gone from any and every single system .. spawn rates are not working .. 2hrs +/- a few mins a rare showing up and it’s the same as before arc.

[edgy juniper]

even with packs you cant even open one, what is the point of having directives?

[glacial fjord]

Rare/epics seem broken, no sign of them anywhere

[nimble vine]

I’m willing to bet that a majority of players have not completed this event, I have spent most of my Father’s Day looking for armadas that didn’t show, this event was not thought through.

[honest sonnet]

Thanks for your awesome Armarda spawnrate☝️

[sand anvil]

You should have checked the rewards first, they are p poor and not worth the hassle. I managed to complete the event, but my advice, it’s not worth the hassle.

[light wasp]

Even in Make it so event?

[thorny flame]

Bookmark them next time

[ornate geyser]

Make It So/Rift 3 doesn't require killing armadas.

[meager spindle]

The issue is not knowing where they could be, but that 1000 people are looking simultaneously.

[glacial fjord]

If that was the case you would see them being run

They must all be cloaked

[meager spindle]

Maybe your server is less active, mate 🙂 our armadas are taken the second they appear. It requires a lot of luck to scan the system in which one appears at that exact second. I am not exaggerating.

[glacial fjord]

Same, but you see them for 15mins

[random tide]

ours end up with 4 alliance flags all a few seconds apart

[glacial fjord]

Are you seeing that now ?

[random tide]

idk, thats how it was earlier today

i busy grinding hostiles

[tropic siren]

Armadas bad enough but why limited to faction rares. Just make competition worse

[light wasp]

Yeah sure

[random tide]

he said require

[light wasp]

And theres Follow the leader alliance LB

[peak charm]

JFC Scopely - increase the damn Armada spawning rate...

[random tide]

sadly, they did

its just that bad

[peak charm]

Not enough though

[neat garden]

this rare armada event is a really poor idea. On active servers there is no chance

[earnest hornet]

exactly its not required for the Make it so RIFT #3 event, because there is the Hostiles killing for points also....
Actually if anything its probably better not too do more armadas then needed for the event, save the directives for the future armada events

[shadow swan]

Will we have a 12-hour rift #4 tomorrow? I thought rift #3 was going to be 12 hours.

[earnest hornet]

no its only 3 rifts

they are doing now what they should've done the first run and extend the Make it so event instead of reducing the Rift event

[shadow swan]

Thanks. I'm at fourth place now but too tired to continue. 😴😅

[loud drum]

Has anyone complained about this stupid armada event? Spending more time searching thru armada systems than actually playing the game. Really nice way to spend time in game

[earnest hornet]

https://tenor.com/view/alixxa-scroll-alixxa-plays-gif-15526590

ummm

😄

[sullen barn]

I bookmarked Noakyn after my alliance managed to do a RARE there, 3.5 hours later there has been 4-5 uncommon, and 2 epic spawns but no rares, and i was checking every 10 minutes.

[random tide]

@loud drum cant say anyone here has complained. you must be the only one man

[loud drum]

And why is rank 6 rewards worse than rank 7-100?

[sullen barn]

yes, but it would still take 15 mins to 'launch' it so i would of seen a rare spawn, might of missed it but i would of just been happy to see it. was also looking at other systems and my alliance worked well to grab enough to get those who could the sms completion (for some the points needed was just to far out of reach)

[leaden spoke]

Advantage of this event: i have no desire to try it. But i expect a very very big excuse pack this evening. If it is less than doing all milestones it is just a proof for xxxx of scopley

[swift condor]

I want to complain about the rare Armada event. It is not possible to make the event. Reason the drop rate of the rare armadas is way too low. I have a job and don't have the time to constantly search the systems for the rare armadas.

[visual sparrow]

The best event ever, especially when there are so many rares, can't choose which to start. Scopely, good job, keep it up 👍 💩

[next summit]

Another Scopely classic!

It's like playong a game designed by morons!

[desert laurel]

even if you didn't have a job and played 15h a day, there's still a decent chance you couldn't complete it. Some events are just not well-designed, and the sooner you can determine if it's worth skipping the better off your gaming experience will be

[glacial fjord]

Agree, if you could see others launching I would be happy, but see no sign of them - something is wrong

[icy basin]

Armadas = Dodo

[sullen barn]

update on Noakyn, its been 4 hours with no rares but 1 more uncommon has spawned and i don't know if there is a limit of armadas per system but its 1:35 am so noone is clearing them now. Best of luck to those that are going to try to finish this event before it ends.

[glacial fjord]

Not even going to try, wasted too much time already searching and seeing nothing, not even those on 15min launch

[serene raptor]

This rubbish has caused two people to leave so far that I'm aware of. This is not a full-time job pointlessly clicking around a game. Why keep getting stuff like this so very wrong?

[glacial fjord]

Just glad they screwed up the jelly event again, no chance of spending directives. Maybe they should introduce a bin for them

[gilded osprey]

If you were able to finish the rare armada event, you server is def. up to merge. 😂

[jaunty leaf]

https://tenor.com/view/wait-a-minute-wait-a-second-wait-whoa-there-what-did-i-just-see-gif-13900813

[shadow reef]

It is a cheaters event for players with scripts searching for rare Armadas

[jaunty leaf]

Rare?!!!

[tropic siren]

me and my alliance have been searching for 5 hours, no rares

[shadow reef]

And when you found one, it is no fraction😡

[jovial crest]

Or another alliance has it

[glad orbit]

"How do we make the game more interesting....I KNOW! Let's make an event where 90%-95% of the players can't possibly get to the second milestone because the respawn is so slow! That's what makes players want to keep playing!"

Brilliant ****ing move, Scrotely

[abstract gate]

No point of wasting dirs.. really rare loot is worth more than solo rewards

[inner cave]

Rare armada event is very poor considering the spawn rate. Even though the times have been reduced it is still not enough

[sweet mantle]

I don't post here often / ever, and it's cool to see @serene raptor from my alliance up above. From the moment the events were announced on the in-station event screen we we preparing for this event and we knew it would be a disaster. What on earth were they thinking with this event? Whoever designed and implemented this one needs to actually play the game and have some understanding of it's dynamics 🤣 It's easily the most poorly conceived event we have had for a very long time. The last one I remember that was similarly bad was the 2020 easter event when everyone in the galaxy had to mine g3 gas... a very nice compensation chest is the minimum the player base deserves for this horror show

[shadow reef]

Instead of rare Armadas now epic are coming up🤣

[shell narwhal]

I always felt the 24 PVP event was there worst event so far, everyone on my server apart from mining daily just put up 24hr shields and had a day off the game. I feel with this rare armada event Scopoly was close to there previous top level of stupid with this, no way to win unless your a big spending whale in deep deep space so haven't even bothered trying to score in it.

[glacial sail]

@tropic siren respawn rate of 38 rares back in march was 4-6 hours. Bookmark the systems and check every 15 mins. If you see one being killed, it will respawn in 4-6 hours unless they changed it. I think the change was epics only

39 epics were something like 26 hours but that changed i think

[earnest hornet]

the change was rares and epics

[glacial sail]

What's the new times?

[earnest hornet]

rares 50% (so 1/4 off the time)
epics 100% (so half the time)

[glacial sail]

So 3-4,5 hours for 38 rares

[earnest hornet]

but roughly about 3-5 hours, tho some have seen some spawn around 2 hours

[glacial sail]

Back in march i tracked it a lot,..

It was always between 4 and 6. Never outside

[earnest hornet]

The Charts with original times etc on LCARS
#697529042450120709 message

[glacial sail]

Those charts were wrong

It said 8-12 hours for 38 rares. I check 20+ respawns was always between 4 and 6

[earnest hornet]

they were from over a year ago, and did slightly vary, but were rough averages

[glacial sail]

Obviously it's a lot harder to check on high pop servers. But was fairly easy for us when we killed all of them and killed them again when they respawned

[earnest hornet]

haha yup especially when they could go ages without being touched 😄

[sweet mantle]

hopefully they cancel that one

[glacial sail]

They should have increased respawn rate ages ago:p
Search discord for armadarespawn or armadaevent.
So many people complaining

[next summit]

The event rewards are cack anyway.. save your directives and do rares outside of the events.. better return... Goto ask your self is hrs of your time worth 20odd uncomon crystal... Joke

[abstract gate]

How about a fixed jelly event tonight so that it won’t overlap with the Picard auction 😬?

[leaden spoke]

I have answer from support:
Hallo, xxx hier vom Support Team. Ich fang mit dem Negativen an - einen Ausgleich fuer entgangene Gewinne kann ich Dir leider nicht geben, der Stau gehoert sozusagen zum allgemeinen Lebensrisiko und auf gut Deutsch: "Dafuer gibts nix". So, jetzt aber etwas ernsthafter: Ich habe mir Deinen Server angeguckt und da geht es ja in der Tat etwas "busy" zu. Ich habe Deine Beschwerde zum Anlass genommen, einen das die Devs doch bitte den Vorschlag eines anderen Spielers beruecksichtigen, die Zeiten zum Refresh eines zerstoerten Ziels zu verkuerzen. Ich hoffe sehr, dass wird umgesetzt, versprechen kann ich leider nichts und auch nicht wie lange das dauern wuerde. Sicher nicht die idealste Antwort, die ich Dir hier geben koennte, aber ich wollte ehrlich sein.
Melde Dich gern erneut, falls Du mal wieder Input hast oder schlicht Hilfe brauchst.

💩

Da fühlt man sich richtig ernst genommen und gut betreut 👍

[viral yarrow]

<@&509691205798592532> impossible to hit the milestones in rare armada event. Even today not a rare armada to be found the respawn times are shit. All alliances waiting in rare systems for armadas to respawn so they can do the milestones. Definitely the worst event which will be topped by the epic one coming up. This kind of event turns people against the game sitting and waiting and watching for armadas to respawn.
Absolutely ridiculous

[reef loom]

What a 💩event. Impossible so finish the rare one.
Some people need to work also and can’t look 24hours for an upcoming rare one….

Server 133… btw

[viral yarrow]

To add to that I have members seriously thinking of quitting the game over this event.
THANKS VERY MUCH SCOPLEY YOU MUPPETS

[upper helm]

The event definitely sucks and it is near impossible for most people to finish, but don’t think it’s worth quitting over, the rewards are not even that great.

[viral yarrow]

It's the frustration. Games are for enjoying not to get frustrated and stressed 🤣

[rough sandal]

and not a peep from Scopely or the <@&509690795536941056> team. 😦

[keen citrus]

Well done Scopely, another EPIC FAIL 👏🏻

[viral yarrow]

Nope and i don't think they will answer

[sweet mantle]

Surely they will cancel the second running of this event and then the epic version. That in itself would be a reward 🤣

[viral yarrow]

Oh please do

[atomic lake]

I think a NO SPEND day should teach them the errors of there ways if they don't sort this 💩 event out. 🔪

[viral yarrow]

No spend month 🤣

[frosty fjord]

did any one complain about the 💩 solo Rare armada event alraidy ?

[glacial sail]

@frosty fjord probably not reached 100 complaints today but if you last 2 days, probably

Just counted, about 50 complaints in last 5 hours if i search

[sweet mantle]

It's pretty straightforward this - who ever was responsible for design and implementation of the event simply doesn't understand the dynamics of the game. The only way I can imagine a rare or epic faction armada event working is that you to have to complete one rare / epic faction armada (any level) to complete the event. Simple

[outer sequoia]

<@&509690795536941056> this is a diabolically poorly thought through event. Get scopely to put their thinking caps on before launching the epic event. Sitting staring waiting for armadas to respawn does not qualify as gameplay.

[sweet mantle]

The 2nd running of the rare faction armada event and the 1st running of the epic faction armada event should be either scrapped or re-designed before proceeding

[quiet harness]

still a very bad event.
Some alliances may hog the armadas even if they are done to deny rewards

[sweet mantle]

that's competitive event play and can't be helped, but the event design could be improved a lot - 1 rare/epic faction armada defeated = event complete would get the job done, would turn a disaster event into something a bit more achievable 🤣

[quiet harness]

rare/epic should be an alb tbh.

[sweet mantle]

the fact that the event is 24 h in duration really hammers home the fact that they don't understand the game, if there was any doubt before of course 🙂

[quiet harness]

well.. my rare armada score is going to remain zero. unless i am online when someone in my alliance launches one

[sweet mantle]

I mean I'm sure that we will get an apology chest and the other events removed from the schedule or significantly revised... anything else would be bizarre 🤣

[viral yarrow]

I should be faction grinding to build up my rep instead I'm searching since reset yesterday looking for rare armadas

[shadow reef]

My god, I’m an asshole by myself spending hours for searching rare Armadas.🤣 Scope shows me my real soul😭

[deep steeple]

From a business perspective i don't see how an event such as the rare armada event encourages players to spend. If there are no targets then there is no need to buy armada packs..

[burnt solstice]

From what i have seen, rares are more easily available in the lower level systems. So to rack up the points you need to do more lower level rare armadas which means you will need to buy the armada pack at some point for the directives. I see what you did Scoply 😂

[viral yarrow]

<@&509691205798592532> <@&509690795536941056> must all be gone to the bunker hiding 🤣🤣

[dire veldt]

too busy deleting all the bad language posts 😂

but your voice has been heard and fed back

[delicate moth]

I can't tell you how many times we've fed this back - everytime there's an armada event in fact 😬 🤣

[finite wing]

Scopely ignoring feedback? Now I’ve heard everything!

[viral yarrow]

Then why does scopley have moderators if they don't listen to you.
I appreciate you give your spare time to this

[tawdry notch]

You all are awesome!

[delicate moth]

Thank you ❤️

[gritty tulip]

They should make the spawn rate for this armada events like the ones in eclipse space

[weak gust]

Like the E 33 in Delta? Every 20 Minutes?

[gritty tulip]

Something like that

[finite wing]

@gritty tulip the joke is they claimed to have halved the spawn times a few updates ago, but like all things involving numbers with this company, I don’t think they gave specifics

[gritty tulip]

Maybe they did it with the ones in deep space 🤣🤣🤣

[cold herald]

what a joke this Rare armada event is. WTG $copely!

[weak gust]

No this was a Typo Mistake. The doubled the Spawn Times. And with a running Armada Event doubles again

[shrewd marsh]

Is the Make it So SLB really going to last an extra day? All the pay2win players will be able to rack up points on the main leaderboard with Crusher whilst everyone else is left behind.

[chilly venture]

It is much less pregnant than before though

now anyone get 3 points per kill anyway, against 10 points with crusher lead

[shrewd marsh]

A 3x advantage is a bit excessive though. They essentially get 72hrs of grinding vs 24hrs for everyone else.

[abstract gate]

The 3 vs 10 points was there for the entirety of the 4 days

[shrewd marsh]

The 15k/11k/8k/6k offset that. Now there's going to be nothing.

[bitter snow]

Are you accounting for how many hostiles you have to grind to make up for the difference between placing in the SLBs?

The 'kill hostile' points is just to prevent or limit the number of ties they had last time around

[abstract gate]

At least this time around everyone can get points even without Wesley

During spare time

[desert laurel]

almost impossible for a crusher owner to beat someone who places 1st x2

[shrewd marsh]

Was there 12hrs extra during that last run?

[abstract gate]

Yes

[bitter snow]

No, rift 3 only lasted 12 hours

[torpid light]

I don’t understand why armadas need a respawn time, or specifically why rares/epics should be longer than normal. They are already gated by the type of directives and if you have these directives then you should be able to use them.

[bitter snow]

so, yes and no

[shrewd marsh]

Fair enough Tommy. I didn't realise that.

[minor cave]

The problem is what Scopley WANT players to do, and what they actually do are 2 different things.

Panic said in an official capacity on MANY occasions Scopley WANT Armardas to be conflicts points. Its not enough to be the first to find one, they WANT us to fight over them. You should bring ships to do the Armardas and ship to defend them.

The fact that for the most part players don't fight is what they consider as US problem.

[desert laurel]

rift 3 was only 12h, but the meta event had 12h of uncontested grinding for wesley owners

[bitter snow]

Frankly, if someone wants to kill 2-3k hostiles to make up for missing a position on the leaderboard... well, it's their free time 😐

[shrewd marsh]

I'm vying for 2nd after scoring 2nd and 3rd

[desert laurel]

that's contested for you then since there are 2 people with 1sts that can beat you

[shrewd marsh]

Hence why I don't like the pay2win advantage :)

I get it now, I just don't like it 😁 didn't realise the first run had the same thing.

[desert laurel]

MIS this time is great for grinders, the p2w advantage is beatable

[abstract gate]

Yeah they extended it because some people felt previous run was unfair due to it only being 12h and not being able to compete

They had to extend the meta too, otherwise points wouldn’t count

[shrewd marsh]

The rift #3 extension I get, its the meta one that's annoying me 😅

[abstract gate]

Agreed by the way 😅 I tend to skip lbs that have a large p2w advantage

[shrewd marsh]

I already worked hard for my 2 places , didn't realise the impact of the change to the meta until it was too late. 😂

[abstract gate]

Then I hope everyone else is as tired of the grind as you are 💪💪

[viral pike]

This rare armada event sucks. Spawn rates are god-awful

[round night]

This event is garbage!!

I like to play not scan map and look for armadas all day

[golden plinth]

Where are all the Armadas??? Thought we're supposed to hit them to score in event... 🤔

[ember walrus]

No you are supposed to hit the lvl 23 rares and buy 100 $100 packs

[dull dove]

If I'm to take a lesson from all this it's that new content is not worth pursuing. Especially officers in particular. Even if a player manages to unlock a new officer that new officer needs promoted at least 3 times if not 4 before that officer makes a positive impact on anyone's game. And a bit of advice Scopely, eliminating armadas from the game then holding an armada event is not a good strategy in any sense.

[dense vortex]

so this latest event about rare armadas is yet another example of Scopely not really understanding it's fanbase. The previous arc when the rare tickets came on the outcry (at it was fair) was that some events were behind a paywall. what you decided to do in this case is remove the paywall, but make it impossible for someone to complete it. i'm level 34 and for me to complete the rare armada event i have to destroy 3 level 35 rares...of which are 6 in the whole galaxy. oh and by the way, everyone else on the server needed those ones too. so realistically this is something that most of the players wont' finish.

what i find the more i play this game (and been playing for over 1 year) is that you guys seem to not really understand your customers. it doesn't require an AI to do a sentiment analysis of this channel to understand a lot of your customers are very very very upset with the game. yes, you can't please everyone, but keeping a large part of the userbase angry is actually an achievement.

have you guys thought about actually listening to what the players say, you might find that a game that has a fairly positive response to the events could yield better ROI. just a thought

[tawny marsh]

@minor cave thats because they are idiots.

They don't realize if people would just start an alternative account and troll armadas to make them fail during events.

No one wants that, and it would have exactly the opposite effect they want. Everyone would just stop doing armadas.

[neat barn]

any tips or tricks for finding armadas?

for this event, that is

[inland hamlet]

Well rift 1 plus rift 2 plus rift 3 plus 24hrs =96 hrs to grind possible.

[inland hamlet]

So instead of trying to do events you run around with pvp crew on pew pewing. So even if you did spit Armadas well wrong crew.

And yes 3x 35 rares destroyed.
1 hr respawn time 7 faction spots for 35s.
But do 32s.. 45 min respawn time.
Or 2x 37. 1hr 15 respawn time

[marsh ember]

Whaaaaat god should I prey to summon armada?!

[north wraith]

Armadas dont respawn that often tho

[urban pendant]

Scopely you have taken a great idea and screwed it up again. I’m anticipating that we will have a third wave Armada event here in the next week or two and that event will focus on epic armadas.

Due to these deficiencies:

• Low spawn rates (even after some tuning)
• High event numbers to complete (takes more than 1 decent sized armada within the 30-41 bracket to complete)
• Only specific systems having armadas (honestly, any faction system should have the ability to spawn armadas.)
• Requiring players to spend long days just doing nothing but scanning systems for armadas to launch (this is not the definition of grinding away at an event and represents a sick RNG that suggests players just need to login to hope that they can find one before someone else)

These events suck. Or more importantly, Scopely could do a far better job making these events more relevant. For example, if you kept the same event mechanics, introduce a way for players to grind directives in a slow but progressive manner during these events. That’s the key, the event should really be two fold. A way for players who want to F2P grind rare and epic directives during the event as well as launching armadas to gain points for events. Think of your battle pass as a template for this mechanism. The event has an upper and lower path. Upper is straight grinding, and lower is achievement of launching/killing armadas. Have a scaling mechanism that as you progress more in one the rewards in the other become more lucrative and might justify more spending to achieve.

Second, the respawn rate, for crying out loud, needs to be sped up. Considerably. Look at exchange armadas. Those have a high spawn rate, cause a lot of work to progress events, and yes, does encourage spending. Couple that with having any faction system being able to host an armada spawning, now players are traveling all over the galaxy to get to their armadas.

Also I would love to see a “bounty hunter” style mechanism to armadas. If you launch an armada, any alliance member who sends a ship to that armada should be treated as hostile and have “hunters” launch from the armada to kill those ships. Would be a more active play for armadas than a send and forget.

[gray ravine]

Raise your hand if you're excited for the upcoming epic version of this armada debacle! I know I sure am!

[desert laurel]

needs to be multi day at the very least or there'll be some serious drama

[neat barn]

what's the rare armada respawn rate?

[ashen nest]

not short enough

and get ready.... more armada events today! 🤮

[marsh ember]

Armada hide-and-seek! My favourite! 😍

[ashen nest]

Epics will be the 27th so get ready to also not be able to complete that one if you are in a mature server.

[graceful notch]

Armada event is garbage

[ashen nest]

Absolute Garbage! Yes you can buy directives but you can't find the armadas to run them. More genius from Scopely...

[neat barn]

when are they releasing the "prime armada respawn research" ?

[tired plank]

Sadly armada respawn times are to long… not everyone could nearly complete the rare armada event 😬

[neat barn]

would have had to put in many hours to compete/finish events, i'm at around 3 and nowhere close

[gilded patrol]

Let me know if I missed any for this arc so far. Also woke up to a broken G4 node in our territory this morning, so that was really the cherry on top 🤣

Published event schedule graphic having no relation to reality
First run of Armada events canceled
Multiple other events delayed/rescheduled
Broken rewards in ticket events
Make it So! Rift #3 cut to 12 hours due to poor planning
Make it So! Rift #3 Armadas not counting properly
Make it So! Tons of ties causing players to lose out on rewards
Jelly event #1: Accidentally released to all players, left in place
Jelly event #2: Accidentally released to all players, yanked
Armada Fleet Formation: Requiring multiple high-level rares to finish, which only spawn a handful total in a 24hr period

[south wharf]

Ive had itchy rashes that are more fun than this event

[tribal elbow]

No worries we have brand new PvP events coming next, they are surely perfectly balanced and no one will complain. Nice relaxing time after this armada nonsense.

[neat barn]

in the inevitable words of scopely "just be happy we're releasing events at all"

[hybrid grove]

Typical scopely dirtbags give us an event that people can’t complete. How do you give a rare armada even when there isn’t even enough rares when there isn’t an event.

Straight dirt bags all of em

[sonic lantern]

The spawn rate for armadas is absolute dogs it, I spent HOURS over the last day trying to find rares and STILL wasn't able to complete the event. It's absolutely unacceptable. This is just horrible on their end, I have no idea what they're thinking. These things have been broken since the start and theyve NEVER been able to fix it.

[inner fiber]

I hope we loved shitty armada events because we have 3 more days coming now!

"Spend directives" !

[shadow reef]

3 days shield is set. Will read a Book in the garden

[inner fiber]

yep, that's what I'm thinking too.

[long thorn]

Scopley increase the spawn rate lmao 🤣 we watched several systems and they dont spawn fast at all. Infact they're slower then before the update.!!! Fack Scopley should own a condom company they are great at screwing people

[tawny marsh]

After 24 hours of searching here is where I stand

[marsh ember]

Try harder!

[tawny marsh]

Lol yeah!!!

[shadow reef]

@tawny marsh me too 🤣

[tawny marsh]

Its like my girlfriend once said to me try harder. I told her if tried any harder your neighbor will be pregnant

[shadow reef]

I got 315 points by participating a rare 23

[tawdry notch]

They halved the base rate.... Similar to how you do research that improves base rate, but somehow you never notice it

(that's a joke)

[long thorn]

@jaycutus you would be there number one customer you got facked hard by scopley hehe

[eager coral]

This game is getting difficult to play day by day.Bugs Lags are in everywhere.On the other hand we have to spend a lot of time and money to get a higher ships

[cold horizon]

Horrible lag - again.
Game practically unplayable atm - again
Wonder when scopely will do something about it. Dont have good hopes for that…

[rugged mirage]

Game f******d

[dull dove]

Ignore these events they aren't worth the effort

[zealous fog]

Really? another armada event without spawn rates fixed?

[cold horizon]

I wouldn’t know as they cant be seen at all

[minor idol]

One day they might be able to handle an event reset

[sonic lantern]

That's hilarious!

[novel venture]

LB, LB, LB, LB, LB, LB, LB, LB, LB, LB, LB, LB

All this arc is

[undone mulch]

https://tenor.com/baZuq.gif

[novel venture]

You've clearly given up on bothering to make the game fun

[zealous fog]

So epics are supposed to spawn 100% faster and rares 50% faster according to the update notes. I think someone did t(time for armadas to spawn) = x2 and t=x1.5 instead of t=x/2 and t=x/1.5

[round ocean]

Yay, another round of getting randomly killed doing dailys since the event only lists MY PvP system and not where the others will decide to take shots

[abstract gate]

That armada thing was BS…. 3/4 of my alliance couldn’t finish the rare one

[round ocean]

hah, my alliance couldn’t FIND one, spawnrates couldn’t keep up

[halcyon patio]

Yee another 2 days of killing reds.... What a fun game

[light wasp]

Friendly Fire is bad

[tall arch]

Make It So is supposed to be over.

[light wasp]

Everything is in one system

[crude jetty]

Let's all kill our reputation by killing hostiles for the PvP event 😄

[ember walrus]

Hard skip on pvp event

[neat barn]

my fed system doesn't have fed, just gorn

[halcyon patio]

Nah, those events are great! Only need to do dailies and skip all others.
Great events for family time :laughing:

[ornate geyser]

So only one player scores pvp points unless both ships are the same faction...?

[crude jetty]

@ornate geyser i think if you read the event you can answer it xD

[neat barn]

careful, that could get you into trouble with some events

[ornate geyser]

I have read the event. That's what the event says. But anybody who's been in this game longer than 18 seconds knows Scopley screws up descriptions all the time.

So do you have an actual useful answer...?

[crude jetty]

i've killed a gladius with an augur and scored points

[round ocean]

I get killed in systems where I do my dailys, but since they are not MY PvP systems I have to find out by trial and ship-up-the-bum….. how fun

[alpine snow]

So after 3 days of armadas and pve. We get more (pvp is bleh scoring), and more armadas 🤣

[ornate geyser]

The description for Fed-ship version requires a different system...

[round ocean]

yes, but it only lists the system that applies to YOU, so others could still attack you in other systems since those are THEIR PvP systems

[crude jetty]

You are under op 34 ? i'm op 35+ must be the reason

[ornate geyser]

I'm 34.

[ornate geyser]

That's my point. For any pair of two eligible ships from different factions, the descriptions give each player a different "only score in" system.

Anyway...if the experiment is done, that's all that matters, regardless of the verbiage. :)

[mental yoke]

Nice to not know others pvp systems and then get killed waiting in an armada circle, during an armada event because it’s in an unknown to me pvp system for others

[raw owl]

There is a serious disconnect on these friendly fire events. The PVP and PVE systems are different in my bracket, so most players appear to just avoid the PVP and mindlessly grind weak hostiles for 2 days straight. This tends to go against the stated goal of reducing screen time for in-game activities.

[shrewd thunder]

Imagine my shock that the multiplier on Doomsday Worms ticketed event..... Does not work..... AGAIN!

[astral forum]

So shitty events

Anyway next month will be full unlock pack 😄

[neon breach]

Scopely you seriously need to do something about Leslie in these events. It’s made it where people doing the event legitimately get outpaced in an instant by folks pairing off and grinding Leslie pike Moreau in pvp with each other. My hour of grinding and legit pvp killing was just wiped out in 45 seconds by 2 players sitting at the edge of iapedes using Leslie on augurs. Make Leslie and outlawed captain for these types of events, please

[safe pagoda]

Does anyone have any idea if you can kill doomsday worms in any system for this event, as stated? I have been burned twice where Scopely changed the wording halfway through the event, without any compensation except to say “sorry”. I’m not burning a ticket until I can trust that this event is legit as posted…

[tired hazel]

@safe pagoda kill normal hostiles. Thats easy

[thin bloom]

What exactly does score points in the pvp event? At 31 pvp zone is Spira, with Sally's and mayflowers. I killed Sally with Sally and got points, killed intrepid with Sally and got nothing. Are you supposed to only kill the listed ships?

[cyan kettle]

Thats the way I read it. You have to kill eligible ships with eligible ships in the correct system

[thin bloom]

It's worded a bit weird, but I can see how that's the intention. Oh well, sorry intrepid owner!

[ember walrus]

That or grind the crud out of the hostiles

[thin bloom]

That's what most people are doing anyways :/ kinda bummed out, really wanted to try out some crews. And this event is pretty fair because it's hull damage based.

[junior violet]

So are the systems in the description where you kill or the one in the tab below where you kill? Assuming 1 is pvp and the other pve but not sure tbh

[cyan kettle]

in the pvp box at the bottom if you're going to do the pvp option

[junior violet]

Ah, that's pvp. So the other pve.....thank you kindly sir 🙏

[astral solar]

There wasn't a rift 4 right ? As some people are flying up the rankings

[abstract gate]

the servers are probably still polling points from rift3. 🤷‍♂️ the lag has been crazy since event reset

[granite zenith]

killing hostiles... with or without wesley still scores points

[abstract gate]

and that lol ☝️

[safe pagoda]

I get that. The principle here is that Scopely can’t be trusted to word an event correctly. The trust issue is bigger than just killing other hostiles. I won’t be spending tickets until they address this…

[ornate geyser]

Part of it might be the "lag" of people logging in claiming their Rift 3 loot. I assume it doesn't add to the score until they actually collect it.

[abstract gate]

i dread to think how it works

[viral yarrow]

Not even going to bother doing the pvp event the rewards are not worth the speed up and mats you need to use only so whales can top the leaderboard

[viscid helm]

Yep, not worth it

[viral forge]

Jeez for the love of god start penalizing pvp swapping, loser deduct x amount of hull points

[abstract gate]

The rss rewards ain’t worth the SLB today .. except if players want them unc rare and Picard shards

Did I miss a shorter timer on the Picard Shard vs. everything else in the event srore?

[ornate geyser]

Everything timed out at the same time. Was that way from the beginning.

[abstract gate]

Just out of curiously, what would your solution be? With that solution only the whales can win

[abstract gate]

Afaik there was a limit of 6 - might be you hit that?

[orchid shell]

Two armada events today, nice! Has in been four or five days in a row now with Armada events? Scopely is really trying to drain armada tokens so people have to buy more.

[thin falcon]

While I understand the frustration, I've found it easy to always finish that event just grinding hostiles in my day-to-day activities that aren't the worms.

[stuck geode]

Why did they put the klingon pvp system in warp 50 area. Do they expect a bortas to be discoed in every time it wants to fight?
