[uneven peak]

15,000 points for starting a rare.
37,500 for starting an epic

He said epic and rare armadas give the same number of points. They don't

[cunning radish]

Depends if he means per directive

Which is technically correct

Or total, which is not

I mean ‘technically’

If you spend 2 epics and 5 rares

They give total same points

Since they use the same number of directives

[lost abyss]

Either way, armadas are the worst way to score points in the event, so it’s a poor use of directives no matter what.

Spend 380 uc anything on anything and boom, more points.

[long slate]

Umm

They give the same amount of points

1 epic = 75, 1 rare = 75

Don’t apply Scopley logic here

The materials were handled differently.

My question is why?

[ember walrus]

Per directive yes per start no
Rare=200
Epic=500

[long slate]

I’m referring to per directive.

Why were materials handled differently?

[lost abyss]

It’s a scoring metric for people who are bad at math anyways, it’s a holdover scoring method from when people were ops 29 max and an armada start would get you a milestone or two.

[long slate]

Again, Scopley logic

[cunning radish]

I mean does it really matter

How many points they give you ?

Everyone is on the same playing field with it

I guess if you want to say epics are rarer

[long slate]

Is an Epic directive more valuable?

[cunning radish]

They shud provide more

But it’s the same for everyone

[long slate]

?

[cunning radish]

So don’t really think it matters

[long slate]

Oh, but does.

Applying Scopley logic here

[cunning radish]

?

[ember walrus]

37,500 per epic
15,000 per rare

[long slate]

Do you not see the issue here?

[cunning radish]

Are you trying to say because uncommon score differently directives should ?

[long slate]

G4 epic = 600 points. G4 rare = 150 points.

Maybe I’m missing something here.

My question is why were armada directives handled differently?

[cunning radish]

I mean g4 epic are much harder to come by then epic directives

You’d have to ask scopely tho haha

[long slate]

Not buying bro

There are other reasons here

[cunning radish]

Ok

[long slate]

We know what they are

[cunning radish]

Do we ?

[long slate]

There ya go

[cunning radish]

But the points are the same for everyone ….

[long slate]

The truth shall set you free

It’s all about getting players to spend more $$$

[cunning radish]

If anything having less value on epics would detract people from spending money on epics

So I don’t really understand your logic

[long slate]

I understand that money must be made, but it’s clear what was done here

I’m not worried about it. I don’t need to use directives for this event.

It’s annoying though

[quiet harness]

You are just realizing that scopley only wants our money?

[long slate]

Haha, nope.

They just make it so blatant and do it wrong

Overall poor planning

Everyone want’s my money

Including my fiancée, but she has a better way of acquiring it

That is NOT how you do it

Practically side by side

[ember walrus]

Even if they doubled epic points it would still be a joke

[lost abyss]

People are literally arguing over the booby prize scoring metric.

I don’t know if this is as bad or worse as the guy yesterday complaining about the scoring for separatist bosses and their bonuses not counting and not getting the point that killing any other ship of similar power as those would net them 5x the points per kill anyways. He was completely fooled and enamored by the “bonus scoring”

[real crow]

I purchased the Elite Battle Pass and completed the stages. My Operations is lvl 26. Milestone 8 rewards should have included a clocking token. However I don’t see it as redeemable in the Event Store. Anyone know why?

[ripe jungle]

Do you have a d3 or legionary?

[real crow]

Not yet, I’m still gathering blueprints.

Will it only show once I have the ship?

[ripe jungle]

Not sure, throwing it out as a possibility

[wind fog]

You should be able to redeem it anyway.

I redeemed the token before I built a ship but I can’t remember if I had the bps already.

[desert laurel]

if you leveled to 26 in the bp then you may have started with a bp that didn't contain the token, I'd contact CS to see if they would be willing to grant you it

[reef otter]

Question. Anyone else complete every single BP event and not make the final BP overflow milestone?

[hexed gorge]

No issues here

Maybe lag or you didn't compete/get rewarded a final ms on an event

[reef otter]

No, I completed every single one, I paid for the BP. I won't miss a beat on my dollars. Apparently another of my team members has the same issue.

[uneven peak]

Did you level up ops during the BP by any chance?
I'd say contact support in game to get them to take a look

[reef otter]

Yeah I went to LVL 26. I've sent a ticket so hopefully they don't ignore me and send an irrelevant auto reply, again. 🙄

[carmine hemlock]

Anyone short in unlocking WORF? Several of us are 18 short, completed all SMS and paid for BP. News item suggests that he should unlock WITHOUT having to do a stupid SLB.

[abstract gate]

No, that was Four

Worf needed SLB or the £100/€100/$100 BP with the SMS.

[uneven peak]

That's potentially what's caused it. I don't know for sure, but I've noticed others say the same when they've levelled ops during the BP

[carmine hemlock]

$175.... Hahahha no way in spending that on 18 shards! Give me a $5 top up pack and maybe. The value in the game is so out of wack, I'm surprised people pay anything at all.

[ashen wharf]

just because you like star trek doesnt mean you are smart

[reef otter]

So I put on the ol' inspector gadget hat and did some investigating. Couple other players with full BP completion are also missing overflow points for the last milestone. They did not LVL up during this BP event. I appreciate the help from you either way!

[uneven peak]

Thanks for destroying my theory 😭 good luck with getting it sorted out 👍

[cunning stone]

Yes, same issue. Did every BP event, triple checked every day to make sure I finished everything. Still short on points for overflow.

[reef otter]

I'm terribly sorry, Zoidberg. It was a good one too.

[abstract gate]

I was such an idiot to powerlevel base and research when I could have just simply leveled up an officer ... reading helps

[celest cloud]

I've done exactly this - I levelled to Ops 40 during a battlepass and missed out on the Ops 40 side missions. One message to CS and it was sorted and manually granted to me.

[cold sparrow]

Have sent a ticket as well for the same issue.. let's hope they sort it out instead of giving some lame excuse.. 🤣😂

[swift lotus]

Any tips for this display of dominance event ? Is the only reliable way to get around 1M points to build base turrets ? The buildings don’t give anywhere near enough, nor does run of the mill research if you’re not opening up a research item for the first time. Does building a ship do anything ?

I assume this is their way of propelling the servers forward…

Officers and levelling up a ship don’t seem to count

[abstract gate]

anyone else not able to finish battle pass? I did every event for BP points and am 14k short.

[wintry tundra]

All lvl 1 researches give a lot of power increase. If you can speed up 1-2 of those you might get near the finish line.

[reef otter]

Join our club, we have cookies. All awaiting customer service replies. 😂

[cold sparrow]

Get in que with the ticket to CS please..! 😂🤣

[swift lotus]

Yeah, I’m at level 39 and I’ve opened up pretty much all of the research tree

[desert laurel]

still possible to do with research, but very expensive if you don't have many open nodes left

[earnest hornet]

no Lat to use on ship XP??

[abstract gate]

No I finished all events.

[north wraith]

Nope, i got all my points. If you are short 14k, im not afraid to guess that you missed a couple milestones in some Battlepass events

You should end up with 315k (pr so) battlepass points if you manage to do all the Milestones in the daily Battlepass events

[abstract gate]

I did them all never missed a event

[earnest hornet]

message Customer Service and they will let you know which ones you missed.

[abstract gate]

There are three other guys in my alliance as well. 1 37, two 40.

[swift lotus]

I often miss the alliance help one because I forget. It’s too passive

[shut reef]

Anyone know when the next Apex event will start?

[abstract gate]

Good Morning

Who knows when the next Jellyfish bp Event is ?

Captain Harlock , think Apex Event coming next week

[shut reef]

Trying to figure out which day it will be on, so I can set aside the time.

[desert laurel]

it moves, sometimes immediately after bp is over, other times cow is first

[shut reef]

Ugh. So let's hope I have the right days off.. Scopley schedules are annoying.

[earnest hornet]

normally COW has mostly been first

[edgy helm]

Looks Fake, dLiscord Domain!?!?!

[earnest hornet]

yes its a scam DO NOT CLICK on the link

[real geyser]

<@&509691205798592532> these scam links need to be purged from all channels

[keen crag]

^^ shady link don't click

[glacial token]

Anybody know..or is guessing how SLB will be in part 2?
Also with Power or g3/g4 spending ?

[hardy parcel]

Prepare for both is the best option. I suspect more of the same as this arc but maybe with a few tweaks

[keen crag]

I hope there's some mat spend because power increase is basically a p2w pat on the shoulder. With mats anyone with discipline can save up in advance and compete. But with power if you're not powering through multiple ops levels to get platforms or upgrading some insane high level platforms you have no chance

I'm level 34 f2p and I have absolutely 0 chance of getting anything out of these and it's pretty frustrating. I'd been saving up mats as soon as I heard this was a klingon arc but now I have no chance of getting worf until he eventually becomes available through other sources.. who knows when that will be

[hardy parcel]

I've got pretty much zero chance in power or mats now lol.
All mats gone in this event and just hitting 39...
I preferred the old formula but with the new sms instead of slb. Gives people a chance to use different resources like exp as well as g3,/4 mats.

[weak copper]

This would have been the first month i’d have had a decent shout at winning a normal mats spend auction as I’d been saving for months. The switch to “power gained” threw that right out the window. LB’s were skewed towards those who happened to be at the right Ops level for platforms to score 20mil points rather than 6 mil.

Not sure how another immediate run of this format next month would make any sense. Most people will presumably have burned through their stash of most things to get one or both of the new officers.

[hardy parcel]

Leaderboard are always pointless.

The unique part of this arc was you could get both officers without the Leaderboards.
One if you didn't even get the battlepass

[indigo perch]

I did okay in this arc, unlocked one and missed the other by 2 shards.

[hardy parcel]

Yep, I did well too.

Much much better than leaderboard

[keen crag]

I did everything I could f2p to get worf... completed all sms, all bp, all the missions, and I even got 4 shards from slbs (all I could manage with this stupid power slb) and I can tell you there is no way to get worf without decently high finishes on the slb leaderboard. I'm still going to be 30 shards short even after this current event

[hardy parcel]

Worf was the one you needed to either do slb or buy battlepass for.
Stonn you could do for free

[keen crag]

I don't give a 💩 about stonn tho 😆

I wanted those sweet crits for a sally crew lolz

[hardy parcel]

Of course. But I bet you got a lot more worf shards than previous arc epics?
I know I did

[keen crag]

no, in the past I saved up for an officer I wanted and then went in on the mat + armada token slb spend events and won who I wanted. For instance I got riker that way.

[cold horizon]

Rules of acquisition scoring doesn’t work….

[keen crag]

Yes I got a decent amount of epic worf shards and will hopefully be able to unlock him at some point. But my issue is no matter what I did as a f2p player there was absolutely 0 chance I could unlock him... none whatsoever... that's frustrating to me

but anyway... is what it is

and people will say "well you should have saved up your platforms etc" I didn't know this was coming and I had been pushing to lvl 34 in order to unlock scrapping, research, and shipyard that comes with it. In order to get to 34 I had to upgrade all my platforms to that point (which I did in some of the daily slbs and sms for stuff) but I had no chance at lvl 34 to compete. Each platform only gave 2m points and on my server 8m didn't even hardly crack the top 60

[keen cedar]

Rules of acquisition broken , no points scoring

[fathom osprey]

Anyone else not scoring with mining materials in the Latinum rush event? G3 and G4 not scoring

[uneven oak]

Lat mine not scoring currently

[nimble crystal]

Yep not scoring either, same on traders in sol for halloween event 😭

[neat musk]

well at least its something new they have managed to screw up

[uneven oak]

some scores just came through, but not for initial mining

[abstract gate]

Yep recalled ships mining g3 for dailies and have no latinum rush points.

[iron cairn]

Not getting credit for 4* stuff but I am for lat..messed up

[pale steppe]

No points scoring in Latinum rush

[hardy parcel]

Give it a few minutes, the usual event lag is kicking in.

[peak cradle]

Idem dito

[hardy parcel]

My faction hunt points took a while to show as well

[soft lagoon]

No lat rush points here

[thorny heath]

4 * resources points do not count!

[tawdry kindle]

Daily rep events not scoring either

[thorny heath]

Heyy guys i need my points in event😈

[willow pine]

I got points for 950k G3 raw crystals and did not count 950k raw G3 ore ... both ships will be found in the Borg cell system ...

💩

[pale steppe]

Maybe all of todays events are the Trick!

[fathom osprey]

Some people are slowly getting points, but I've still had nothing. G3 crystal and Klingon space and G3 ore in territory

[tawdry kindle]

Events seems to be scoring again…

Still sucks though, as i had waited +2 minutes before refreshing exactly cuz of these lagging bollocks not scoring earlier; millions of g4 points still gone poof…🙄

[cold horizon]

Still no points in Aquisition event for 2 dvor loads
Is anybody at scamply awake?

[ember walrus]

Nope sleeping on piles of our cash

[thorny heath]

<@&509690795536941056> ?

[soft lagoon]

I’m getting credit for newly mined crystal, etc but not for those nodes I reset after start of event.

[main ore]

Same here, some of ours have mined a few mill rss and no points

[soft lagoon]

Yep. Glitches happen…but make it right when they happen.

[sullen barn]

I waited for the events to settle in, collected my Honorguard Worf shards, then pulled my 149k~ worth of G4. no points, 40 mins later, still missing those points but I can get on and off a G3 and get points.
Time for a CS ticket i guess.

[cold horizon]

Scopely: dont make this game a game of luck….

Its quite an achievement to mess up an event that didn’t have any issues for a long time, if ever… 🙄

[narrow crypt]

Some would say the prevalence of preloading nodes is an issue...

[thorny heath]

Waiting for an answer, wrote ticket

just don't tell me again that someone changed the conditions of the event when it started😡

[upper knot]

How many times should we expect these Trek or Treat events to repeat? Event store is open for 8 days and the applicable event packs can be purchased for 7 days. 7 days of events?

[frosty notch]

2 days min as ams )

[south arrow]

Great faction hunt scopley 🍺

[ember walrus]

2 days min i would say

[pseudo temple]

Anyone has Mil. Supremacy event yet? Or would that one be scheduled to start in two days?

[golden knot]

So I guess selling the gummies for independent credits is the best choice?

[celest cloud]

Depends what you value. For me it totals 6 days of Borg refinery, so I gifted the gummies, but if you really need Indy creds and it will make the difference, then sure.

[last sun]

So, anyone else shocked at the 17k hostiles you have to kill to get that frame?

[uneven peak]

Alliance milestone

[terse summit]

I ship for 8h in Aug space is 480. With a few players idling, you're getting the MS without any work. Plus the gummies count as well. It's an easy MS

[plucky ermine]

The AMS is 100% completeble by any midsize alliance by just finishing your SMS events

Larger alliances will complete it today

Also great payout of steel - I like the event

[last sun]

Reading is fundamental 🤣 (thanks 😋)

[narrow crypt]

A 'useful' amount of Steel not Great - pitiful amount of Trit/Dil.

[plucky ermine]

As always, events pay one sort res big and others are chipped in. However about 2B steel at 40 seem great from a 2d event

[narrow crypt]

3bn at 41 - doesn't even buy me a single building.

(Actually not true - it would buy my R&D - if I had the Common G4!)

[plucky ermine]

well how much you get from your Battle Pass?

[narrow crypt]

More - dunno how much now though - gone!

[plucky ermine]

top milestone in elite track is 623M and in the free track it's 387M

so you get more steel in a single day then what the BP pays over a month?=

[narrow crypt]

41 definitely gets more than that on the BP (that last one gave ~1bn) - but I didn't total it up.

[plucky ermine]

https://stfc.space/events/6167751bcecd1cbc59b45eb4 paid track

there you can look it up - choose your bracket at the top of the site

[narrow crypt]

Ah - useful - cheers.

[plucky ermine]

https://stfc.space/events/6167751bcecd1cbc59b45eb5 <- free track

[narrow crypt]

40-50 get the same amount?

[plucky ermine]

yes they do

[narrow crypt]

Surprised at that... <1bn per BP would be meaningless to a 50!

[plucky ermine]

well that's what Rippers data says at least. We can verify this next arc

[desert laurel]

nice update

[plucky ermine]

all previous BPs https://stfc.space/events?f=$page:1%26from:1580683467%26to:1638312267%26name=%26level:-1%26uself:false%26cat:5%26res:-1

interesting: the last TNG had more brackets, but the numbers were the same in the brackets 🙂

[abstract gate]

so is this trick or treat a replacement for cow? the awards seem to be on par with it and the mile stones as well

[wind fog]

It’s replacing faction hunt for sure

[abstract gate]

i am saving my D4 tier

[plucky ermine]

alliance credits are missing

CoW gives 3k of them - 30 1d shields

[narrow crypt]

Looking at the news - it's a replacement for the entire 'interim' period...

[mystic violet]

Is there a place where I can fight Federation ships without losing rep like there is for Klingon and Romulan?

[earnest hornet]

No but best to kill is explorers, so if you don’t want to lose much Fed rep, kill Fed explorers, and then when your killing the other factions hit the survey ships, as that will give more rep and balance out what you went down,

The same works no matter the faction

At the end of the day, also doing the rep daily event, and dailies, Borg refinery has some rep you can get, the away team store also has rep you can get from there too. It will help keep the balance.
i wouldn’t not do a faction hunt because of rep loss, there’s plenty of ways to rebuild that faction rep

That the rewards from the events are worth more long term then say an hour of grinding survey/traders can recover

That the rewards from the events are worth more long term then say an hour of grinding survey/traders can recover

[opaque sandal]

Their right. Don’t worry about some measly amount of rep. Can earn it back much faster than you lose it. Rewards are the real deal with events.

[naive kiln]

What's the max # of teryons a lvl 35 can have?

The office max size, not the if u have a small bit of room and then get a full daily pull

[cosmic sage]

There's no max limit that can realistically be reached its just that you stop free ones when you have too many.

[celest cloud]

And the maximum you can achieve through full pulls is 260 (=1 pull when at 195 Tetryon), above that needs to come from gifts e.g. the last Battlepass

[wild mountain]

Anyone figure out what determines how much you get from gummi sharing?

[fallow cobalt]

guys, im late to the event and only got the final tier of the ALB rewards i think, the event didnt say that you could miss out if you didnt start straight away, anyone else with this problem?

[uneven peak]

It tells you in the event store

[hardy parcel]

These rewards are normally level based

[wild mountain]

Seems suspect.

[uneven peak]

The alliance gift is always the same. 25 creds and 25 recruit tokens.

[hardy parcel]

In what way?

[wild mountain]

i seem to get lots of varying amounts--ones giving 25 for all, and sometimes 50 or 75 from one faction in addition.

[hardy parcel]

All multiples of 25, probably more than one gift lol

[wild mountain]

But im only opening one at a time?

Is there a concurrent cash version?

[hardy parcel]

Kinda, there is a gummy pack

[wild mountain]

Like this from one of them:

[hardy parcel]

That from the alliance rewards page? If so it always says one chest regardless of how many gifts you get

[wild mountain]

He says it was just one gift too.

[wild mountain]

His klingon only gave the 25 klingon credits and tokens, so it being based on that faction's rep isn't ruled out.

[thin condor]

So.... does the auto-farming hostile faction not work for this event?

EX -- Sent ship to Klingon territory to get auto-attacked for trespassing.... Doesn't seem to have gotten points for killing those patrols

[quiet harness]

It stopped giving points a few months ago

[thin condor]

figures....

[terse summit]

Aug space gave points

At least for AMS

[thin condor]

Yes... I use Aug space for hostile event. But apparently doesn't work for faction

[oblique dock]

.30

[nova elk]

Anyone know if the Georgiou shards event will return? 🤔

[weak copper]

Probably unlikely now she is available with Transport Patterns in addition to disco refines

[south arrow]

Well back to the old shit events

Can’t scopley do more then one fuking day of good events?!!

[edgy gull]

335x gummies
Well
where is the rest

[remote ferry]

And why couldn't we have Apex on top of this?

[chilly venture]

Faction hunt will be back three times still so there is that

[humble jungle]

Rest of gummies in other upcoming events. 2 mining events for gummies

Maybe

[bronze bloom]

Where is the tritanium scopley????

Unbelievable

Yesterday was great but that’s back with scopley shit

Thats not a challenge!!! All events sooooo easy

[terse summit]

She's available with patterns now!

[nova elk]

Yeah I noticed that today. Just been hoarding ore in case the event returned 😄

[plush rivet]

ok where's the rest of the gummies for today???? cant do anything with 335 gummies

[bronze bloom]

As I said…. That’s back the scopley shit

[humble jungle]

May get the rest of the gummies in the next two mining events.

Or something.

[bronze bloom]

BTW Challenge…. 32 mil damage with kelvin….

From great yesterday… to that main pooooooooooooor scopley…. And the best is…. Nooooooo tritanium!!!!! Sucks…. Typical for scopley

I did 2 unc 39 armadas… pffffffff

[lavish silo]

Nobody should be surprised by Doh-pely doing this. They have done the bait & switch or other disingenuous tactics from day one.

[bronze bloom]

I can’t remember when was the last really challenge and really good rewards….

As I said for long time… scopley using maximum 5% of the Star Trek potential… and sometimes Zero percent

[ember walrus]

Dont worry they will make sure we get 664 more

[plush rivet]

lol

[bronze bloom]

https://tenor.com/view/star-wars-yoda-sad-disappointed-am-i-mandalorian-gif-15937614

[native meteor]

I play PC version. How could that work? A Armada was spawning, i click immediatly, another ally has 10 seconds less. Is the pc version so slow???

[sour lotus]

I dont get it. If armada events are harder peeps complain. If they make them easier also complaints 🤔

[south arrow]

It’s rarely how difficult the event is it’s normally about rewards or spawn time

[subtle drift]

Did they miss a zero on the gummy rewards?

[oblique dock]

3 non faction hunt style events over the week will pay a third of a pull each is my guess

[wind fog]

I doubt people are complaining about the actual armada event; it’s the rewards that are exasperating. 335 gummies when you need 1000, not nice

[keen mist]

So impatient

[noble idol]

When’s the next jellyfish event coming up?

[viral forge]

I thought it was the common mat that was the shaft, just as well done lat. A little more versatile. As for the gummies, they're probably just stretching the events, no biggie to me

[nova valley]

seems like with the 2x armada events and the 1x mining event, they are sourcing those to do a total of 1 redemption per faction, and then the 4 faction hunts sourcing 1 redepmption each. that's a total of 15 TOTAL redemptions.

the NET yeild from this in indy credits, or even faction credits if you want those, it's pretty staggering. it's a great payout for a holiday event. that's 6975 indy credits if you sunk them all into that.

dunno about you. i'll take that LOL

or 9050 of EACH faction credits if you go that route. also stout LOL

and on top of all that, the effort required is lesser than usual. so, i understand the "being bored" perspective, but the payouts are actually pretty dang good for the required effort.

i'll use the spare time to do some data mining LOL

[scenic pawn]

Can confirm, also mining data.
We asked our highly full and active alliance to max out the share chests (max 2 of the assumed 5 gummy pulls per faction) and pour the rest into whatever they want like Indy credits.
We all got 1825 faction credits per faction for sharing instead of 980 we would have gotten from "eating" them.

[scenic pawn]

Sounds like you get it perfectly 😂

[nova valley]

this was dependent on ops level. an alliance with MAJORITY of players at about ops 39 or higher was NOT benefited by sharing. at ops 41, my payout was 1810 faction credits by eating. by that math woulda taken 72 players sharing for me to break out.

i'm not interested in herding those cats lmao, GRANTED i gave up 1800 faction recruit tokens that way. but i also can redeem 7500 per day of those in the faction stores, so i wasn't broken hearted about losing out on those.

[scenic pawn]

I suppose we were lucky that 73 folks shared in that case 😂 .
We have 25 people Ops 39+ but it was also an exercise in teamwork and alliance-first event playing which we encourage as well. And they can still do whatever they want with the other 3 pulls

[scenic pawn]

But you are 100% right. Results vary widely by alliance

[winged tulip]

I just want to see how extortionate the jelly skin event is.

... and the franklin skin and vidar skin

[nova valley]

typical material spend. we shall see what the players think it's worth LOL

[winged tulip]

Auction or SMS? News wasn't clear..

[nova valley]

auction. some bad kitty somewhere didn't watch my latest video 😸

[winged tulip]

No one has time for that 😛 Text is quicker

[nova valley]

my YT is better for time management than my pod LOL

[winged tulip]

But see, asking on here was quicker than both!

[nova valley]

and helps my metrics by a huge and whopping goose egg. i am forever indebted to you 🤣

[viral forge]

When is the vidar event

[frosty beacon]

I want one so bad but I am nott going to buy it tho!

[viral forge]

Oh, it's a straight purchase pack for vidar

[twin karma]

Think it’s real nice to have all these armada events but the ability to get armada tokens has dried up? Why is that Scopely?

[nova valley]

what has dried up?

[earnest hornet]

I assume your opening your uncommon armada chest every day?? For rare directives.

[celest cloud]

Plus this one can be completed solely with uncommons.

[earnest hornet]

Yup 👍🏼

[waxen sedge]

And you don't get any real benefit from running it vs. joining.

[twin karma]

I have no idea what chest your talking about.

[celest cloud]

The chest in the Alliance tab to turn in Uncommon Armada credits. It gives small amounts of Rare armada directives (with a chance of bigger amounts).

[twin karma]

O those yes I do get those. Have not received any armada tokens for the past 6 days.

[golden knot]

335 odd amount of gummies eh

[nova valley]

MOST LIKELY a combo between this, 1 more run of armadas, and 1 mining event, per our calendar. will equal 1k gummies of each faction for total of 3 redemptions in the event store.

[golden knot]

Make sense. Love your vidz and the kitty!🐱

[nova valley]

awww thank you!!!!

[earnest hornet]

Do you do the max chest pulls for those uncommon chests?? Also starting Uncommons slowly gives you rare directives also, 2 rare per uncommon start

[stoic nova]

Does anyone know or have a sense whether we will have Crucible of War this month, given that Halloween event seems to go right til the end of the month?

[twin karma]

No based on the screwed math I usually do just 1 chest to avoid wasting stuff.

[sour jacinth]

We could have the next arc start a week into Nov, so a week of regular between arc stuff… no telling.

[desert laurel]

the CCs might know, they often get early information

[sour jacinth]

Should find out on Friday-ish with a maintenance announcement, or not

[runic scaffold]

Anyone else completed last battlepass and purchased elite pack and finally ended with no unlock of Worf? As per Scopely news must be fully unlocked this way.

And at the end...

2 shards short... how is that?

[north wraith]

What do we do with the 335 gummy things? Is there a stage or a store i missed?

[plucky ermine]

did you pay 99.99 for the BP unlock or the cheaper variant aroud 24.99

[north wraith]

“Unlock Option 1” is usually the 99.99 purchase option for the premium Battlepass

[unreal vortex]

One of the daily events just ended but no new one has started? anyone else having this issue

[hexed kettle]

Yep, was expecting a research LB one. Not sure why we didn't get it, never seen only 1 active event before.

[unreal vortex]

phew kinda glad it wasnt just me

[elder gyro]

How do we get this

[earnest hornet]

Probably from an upcoming event

[harsh warren]

Be over L50 and win it

[elder gyro]

Gotcha

Thats some bullshiit

[tame abyss]

My account I got the $100 on I got T2 worf, account with $20 I got t1+98/110 shards twords t2. Still needed to do all the events to get him.

[abstract gate]

@runic scaffold pretty sure there will be event store at the last arc where u can get officer shards

[fathom shuttle]

I unlocked him with the 20€ BP and got him to T2 by winning the last auction.
Seems like I had the most Defense Platforms left to upgrade. 😂

[wintry tundra]

Nice. 5 shards from t2. Must be ops related that you got the missing 5 shards. And never go all out on the first auction. Full unlock in the second auction was less than half the points as in the first.

[dapper drum]

ops level and server age

lower levels on older servers have no competition and more tiers to win

[wintry tundra]

We are on the same server so definitely only ops difference (me: 35, Moe: 39). But I am not stressing. 5 shards can be (hopefully) bought in the event store.

[ripe jungle]

More likely he placed better in the first auction, or in the two grinding leaderboards, or the alliance leaderboard. I don’t think the shard rewards were any different by ops.

Also points depend on server and bracket. Mine was almost same for top 3 in first and second auctions (a bit over 20m), in fact second was slightly higher by around 1.5m for top.

[fathom shuttle]

Yea we had several 1. in ALBs and in the SLBs I made sure to always be at least in scoring range.

[fathom shuttle]

I dont remember how much was for winning the 1. auction but 20M got me only in the lowest winning bracket there.
2. Auction I won with just under 100M.

[wintry tundra]

I forgot the ALB. You crazy grinders 🤣

[fathom shuttle]

😂

[ripe jungle]

The alb was just about cloaking wasn’t it? Not a real grind. Or was there another one?

My bracket was 28-31 I think. Less than 4m points or so to get to top 50.

[runic scaffold]

I did the same, 20 eur BS and winning a slb 1st place (that let me dry) and Im 2 shards away of T2. Sick!

I know there will be event shop endbof ARC. but I pushed in slb exactly for having it t2. I was sure some reward was lost due to server lag or whatever and expecting Scopely to fix and compensate this. (See last mining event when first minutes mining was not scoring...).

[abstract gate]

So, what exactly is in beta sector?

[hearty robin]

any idea if the Jellyfish refit event will be SMS or SLB style?

[hardy parcel]

Usually a SLB

[proven grove]

sms ? slb? what are these?

[hardy parcel]

Sms - solo milestone
Slb - solo leaderboard

[hearty robin]

Single Milestone or Single Leaderbaord event

damn, another whale party then

[hardy parcel]

Yup, as per

[proven grove]

ah ok thanks 🙂

[hearty robin]

would have hoped for SMS like the 4of10 event

[hardy parcel]

We can hope, but unfortunately not likely

[abstract gate]

Not likely 😂

https://tenor.com/view/john-jonah-jameson-lol-laughing-hysterically-laughing-out-loud-funny-gif-17710543

It ain’t Christmas yet, and they wouldn’t give it away even then 🤣

[hardy parcel]

Snowflakes chance in hell I know 🤣

[main spindle]

So when will ship cloaking be in the faction store?

[hardy parcel]

Within the next few months

I expect the 26 ships will be next month and the rest in December/Jan but that's just a guess

[humble siren]

Who thought of these par rewards 😂 😂

[tidal storm]

Kidding 😂😂

Surely should me “m”

[delicate estuary]

Love it. Same MS as last cycle, less than 1% of the rewards

[humble siren]

Surely isn't a treat🤣

[delicate estuary]

This is obs the trick

[daring glen]

Wasn’t there supposed to be a mining event?

[humble siren]

Yeah news said mining event

[delicate estuary]

Mining event Ops 10-17. They massively boosted Trit today

[dapper halo]

What happened with the parsteel rewards? Was it too much last time? 😢

[keen crag]

for every good reward scopely gives us they do at least 2 🐕 💩 ones

first day gave 400m steel, next 2 cumulatively give squat

lmao

[dapper halo]

Ok, the frame was uncommon, the avatar is rare, so we got decrease in the parsteel rewards, I can see some logic behind it 😂

[keen crag]

I guess 😆

ah they bumped up the trit rewards

well ok I take it back it's not so bad

[south arrow]

They gave us a crap load of trit maybe look first

[dapper halo]

I need trit, it's not bad, still leveling up my ships, so I can take it 🙂

[tropic aspen]

Did they ever address the lack of Gummi from yesterday?

[astral forum]

Joke right?

[keen crag]

tritanium

I made the same mistake

[hardy parcel]

Look at the trit

It's a trick lol

[humble siren]

The trit trick

[dapper halo]

I guess there will be an event which will give 664 gummies 😂

[astral forum]

I see the trit, but why they added just WHAAAT? 3,4mil steel? I need billions for buildings...

[hardy parcel]

Better than none

[astral forum]

I suspect there is same mistake as before....

[hardy parcel]

I don't I think deliberate

[tropic aspen]

I'm going to assume I'll just have these gummed forever sitting in my inventory like the other hundreds of partial rewards that will never get addressed lol

[uneven peak]

Last time this ran people complained about the tiny trit rewards but the parsteel was much bigger. This time people complain about the parsteel reward when the trit is much bigger

Last time was parsteel focussed. This time trit focussed

[astral forum]

Same mistake as in this event

Otherwise there are no sense

[dapper halo]

Yeah I complained then you guys enlightened me, I can take that they increased the trit amount this time 🙂

The problem is that the resources needing is just increased greatly on higher ops compared to the amount you can get, and also no point farming resources

[hardy parcel]

Of course there is sense. You are getting more trit less par.

[astral forum]

I would like to have 3,4Bil steel as well

[uneven peak]

There is sense. The same event ran 2 days ago with much bigger parsteel rewards, and very small trit rewards. This time it's tiny parsteel and much bigger trit.

[hardy parcel]

Of course you would but it isn't an error 🤣🤣

[abstract gate]

Scopley and sense 🤣 opposite words!

[astral forum]

Thats why its joke

[dapper halo]

I would mine rss for sure, but currently with a maxed Horizon I can mine 125k ps in 1h 05m with ps mining crew when I need hundreds of millions on ops 36 so when we get events like this, we are sad if they take away the ps rewards 😂

[hardy parcel]

It's always what they do though.
We always get events in threes.
One par heavy
One trit
One dilithium

Because as much as you think you only need par you're going to NEED the others too. 🤣

[torn timber]

Anyone else not seeing this event?

Nvm

Only thru lvl17

[frosty notch]

intended, previous ams was focused on parsteel, this one on trit, next one on dilithium

[ripe jungle]

There is no next ams. The next one is a 72h alliance leaderboard based on power gained.

[somber marsh]

Man the dropoff in par payouts from the last AMS to the trit payouts here is steep

[desert laurel]

that's normal, trit has more "value" than par, usually 5x or so. And Dil has even more

[fringe chasm]

I want to share my gummies, but I have a couple of days ago. So now I'll be stuck with them. Why can't we share each time we get them?

[eager hollow]

@fringe chasm eating them is much nicer 😁

[hardy parcel]

mathematically sharing them is more beneficial, if everyone shares them

which is why they are the most limited

[opaque sandal]

🥱

[hardy parcel]

Night night

[grim river]

41 lvl

wtf

[abstract gate]

I love sharing

[sonic bobcat]

Anyone know if we still getting APEX etc?

Or has Halloween replaced it?

[abstract gate]

Holiday events usually replace it.

[winged tulip]

event store is up for 5 more days, so looks like this is it till next arc starts

[frosty notch]

it can be one more week till next arc though )

[reef otter]

So, I realize this is late but I've finally heard back from scoop's CS regarding BP overflow milestones. One can complete every BP event, yet not get enough for the final milestone.
Now you know.

[abstract gate]

That’s up there with “we didn’t change cloak”

[scenic cloud]

Heard a rumor. Mining event today? Anyone confirm?

[pale lantern]

Yes

[scenic cloud]

Ty

[pale lantern]

👍

[runic hawk]

So if you didn't buy the battlepass you can't do the cloaking event. Good joke. 👍

[barren shale]

Even if you bought it, if you have the cloaking device, you can't finish the cloaking event today. You can't store enough tachyons to score enough for the last level.

[echo dune]

Going Ghost looks remarkably like an event we used to have two days to do in last arc … now only 24 hours … Disappearing Act. Come on Scopely, rehashing an event without even making scoring possible without getting packs in the limited time. Trick not treat!

But the tritanium past few events has been great … please keep that up Scopey its a net thumbs up. Just do a check before posting these events 😉

[wintry tundra]

It is possible. But you needed to prepare for it. Had 250 tetryon saved.

[echo dune]

If it was two days yep could do like we all did in our alliance [during arc]. With max you can save, impossible to score 500 points.

[covert heart]

What. I don't have a ship to cloak with. Puts me at a full disadvantage

[naive dock]

U can finish it if u have 220 tetryons stored or more, then u do a double pull (one now, one more in 22h before the event ends). But it's the only way without buying a pack.

[barren shale]

250 tetryons gets you half way there. 10 pts per kill won't finish the event unless you can cloak with 10 tetryons

[naive dock]

250 tetryons + 2 pulls of 65 = 380

with 380 u can do 15 hits

[echo dune]

Which isnt 500

[naive dock]

so 150p more

380+150 = 530

it can be done, but as someone said earlier, u needed to prepare for it

[barren shale]

I get 50 tetryons per pull.

[naive dock]

oh I get 65 at ops 41

then yea, if u get less it might not be possible for u

[echo dune]

Is that a legionary or d3? This is probably the key thing here.

[naive dock]

mine is d3

[barren shale]

So high level players can play, but those in the 30s aren't intended to succeed. Great.

[naive dock]

I'm still fucked, I didn't prepare for it and only have 205 tetryons saved

so even with 65 per pull I still can't make it

[echo dune]

I am full as i can be at ops 39.

[naive dock]

it is fucked up

events should be doable by all f2p

[echo dune]

Im just wondering as its not called Going Ghost … if something is off.

[naive dock]

mine is called disappearing act

maybe they fucked up

[echo dune]

I mean thats not unheard of by scopely 😉

[lean ridge]

Amazing Event 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[barren shale]

I'm sitting it out to see what they do. Either fix the scoring or distribute an oops pack with the needed tetryons

[naive dock]

I wld start the event, u can get back to 200 tetryons in 3-4 days

[lean ridge]

Well done scopely 🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑

[south arrow]

How can we finish the cloak event when u cut it short by a day

[hardy parcel]

Disappearing Act mathematically impossible without buying Tetryons?
Even assuming you get 2 refills through great timing that's only 330 tetryons at 35 points per 25 tetryons = 455 points? and even less if your timing isn't perfect.
Did I make an error or did we get screwed?

[barren shale]

Problem is, a someone pointed out, the event has the wrong name. If they launch the right event, then what if I've already run my tetryons. I'd like to hear from Scopely on this.

[abstract gate]

Then you will have gotten the rewards for the event you did, and no point really in speculating on that

[abstract gate]

If you get 65 per day as I assume, it’s possible since the actual max isn’t 200, at 195 you’ll still get a chest with 65 in there

[hardy parcel]

you start the event with 200. and get at most 2 refills (130) total 330 tetryons.
13 uses of the cloak = 455 points

[abstract gate]

I started the event with around 250?

[hardy parcel]

if you exploited the refill mechanic then you can get a few more points. but most will start with around 200-220

[abstract gate]

How is it an exploit?

[weary vapor]

Whos looking forward to them screwing up ISS Jellyfish Refit event tomorrow 😬 might aswell since its the event we care about the most

[abstract gate]

It’s the same for borg and around forever

[uneven peak]

I had 250 at the start. 2 refills from the gifts and I'll be 5 tetryons short of finishing the event

[abstract gate]

Yeah not everyone can finish it, that really sucks 😢

[weary vapor]

A simple small free Tetryon gift pack will rectify most people's issues

[hardy parcel]

ok, unless you optimised it you'll still be short lol

[south arrow]

98% of people can’t finish it

[mortal geode]

I had 265 plus 2 pulls of 70 I am ok 👍

[crude jetty]

https://tenor.com/view/scam-is-this-a-scam-scammer-digibyte-xrp-gif-19824603

[hardy parcel]

you get 70? wtf

[abstract gate]

Buy a pack - Scopley

[loud drum]

all depends on luck or planing. i started off with 205 since max capacity is 200, had i been smart then i would have cloaked once yesterday so that i would have had 245 today. Now i will at the end be 5 short to finish event

[wintry tundra]

shouldnt be..

[loud drum]

if he filled up today he will be. since he dont get 2 pulls.

[wintry tundra]

That is true unfortunately. Took me 2 days to get to 250 myself. in preparation.

[lean ridge]

I started with 240 and have 2 refills= 370 = 14 starts = 490 Points in Event , Impossible to get the Event finished. Since the Last Event i refill my tetryons to max

[abstract gate]

Then you didn’t fill it to max..

[placid hazel]

I will be at least 45 points short of completing the event. That is totally lame! I started with 220 and that was maxed!

[wintry tundra]

i had 250 and can only finish. Lucky me because i thought i dont need that much.

[hardy parcel]

if you started with 260 (which is probably the max) you would get a total of 390 which is 15 uses so 525 points.

[abstract gate]

Ehm yeah that wasn’t maxxed, that math is off.

[weary vapor]

ReAD - your all complaining about the wrong thing, OK the event it messed up for completion, but the main thing is this event wasn't scheduled for today and we should be doing the Going Ghost event...???

[crude jetty]

https://tenor.com/view/calculation-math-hangover-allen-zach-galifianakis-gif-6219070

👆 us now to do a little event

[lean ridge]

Sure Always reduced the tetryons to get an refill, one day later IT would bei possible to Finish the Event

[placid hazel]

Max capacity is 200 if you are lucky enough to have 195 prior to a pull then you could have 250

[hardy parcel]

so the minimum you had to start today with was 245. less than that and you had no chance

[abstract gate]

Either way, way I see it. Easy event, great payouts. Payers + a small group can finish last tier. Usually we get a whole slew of events just for payers

[lean ridge]

SSDD

[hardy parcel]

it's a poorly planned event because everyone doing it already bought the damn cloak

[abstract gate]

220 here because I dared to use my Augur’s cloak yesterday.

[abstract gate]

From what you tell you get 65 per day. From values you share you have only done that strategy for 2 days. If you’d done it more often or every day since previous as you say, you’d have more tetryons.

[glass storm]

"Disappearing Act" has previously been a 48 hour event. Why are point requirements still the same while the time to complete has been cut in half?

[abstract gate]

Indeed, you had all the time and options to make it so. Either way your math is off somewhere unless you’re getting half tetryons somewhere.

[placid hazel]

Good point!

[lean ridge]

65 per day, If it Starts tomorrow i would Start with 245 and 2 refills and could Finish the Event.... Well done scopely 🤑🤑🤑🤑

[abstract gate]

Should’ve started earlier

[abstract gate]

You realise the reason you’re annoyed is that you hatched your plan too late, despite it being a good plan 😉

[hardy parcel]

no the reason we're annoyed is they cut the event time in half 😂

[lean ridge]

Nope since the Last cloak Event i started the refill EVERYDAY, Always reduced the tetryons to get an new refill and it didnot fit to the Event today

[abstract gate]

Most here wouldn’t have finished either way 🙈 too busy with “math” and thus missing the timer 😂

[copper onyx]

All very well talking about 65 tetryons... I'm only getting 55, and I saw some people during the last arc mentioning 50!

Oh, and personally, I don't seem 'gaming the system' around the 'over-count' above 200 to be 'playing the game'... I consider it to be a Hack!

[chrome quest]

I get 65 a day, was maxed on tachyons. This event in 24h is impossible unless we get a “we screwed up chest”

[abstract gate]

There’s been 5 days since last event ENDED, 6 if you planned the previous one well. 65 a day, cloaking in increments of 25. Biggest difference is this 15, and the first common denominator happens in…. Drum roll… 5 pulls aka 75 aka 5 days

[abstract gate]

It’s just inefficient. Like refusing getting tax cuts for having a child

[sharp sorrel]

so, again cloaking event, the arc is finished and still poor people do not have the chance to cloak their ships and contribute to the event.... 👎 $cop€£y...

[chrome quest]

You can only store 200-260 max depending on what your daily is

[lean ridge]

Not If you have to have to refill 3 times for the Last Event 😉

[warm rover]

Having 200 or more is not a hack

[abstract gate]

How much is 5 times 65?

[chrome quest]

5x 65 is 325 but you can only have a max of 200

[copper onyx]

No, anywhere else, talking about 'gaming the system' implies doing something borderline illegal.. even if technically legal! Just because they messed up the numbers, and this was their 'get out' clause, doesn't make it right!

[abstract gate]

You missed a day and probably two.

[warm rover]

No. Read the release about cloaking. It even stated having 200 or more will not provide a daily claim. Under 200 will. Not a hack or gaming the system

It’s just being smart

[abstract gate]

Dude it’s the way it’s coded. It’s either
A) max before pull is 200
Or B) max after pull is 200

[copper onyx]

That doesn't state one way or the other... just that it acts like the warp-cells for the Borg zones...

[abstract gate]

Both are very simple to code. Not maximising your possibilities is on you and no one else

Is it a bad event? Yes

But don’t call people that play the game more efficiently WITHIN boundaries set by scopely hacks

[warm rover]

Very clear

[hardy parcel]

yes but you shouldn't have to maximise the system to complete the event, including if you don't start in the first two hours you are screwed. the event was fine as a two day event.

[lean ridge]

I dont miss one day , i had one refill 2 hours after Event starts so the counter for refill comes one day to late for the total max of 245 😉

[abstract gate]

You shouldn’t have to maximise it beyond what would be considered normal

[crude jetty]

https://tenor.com/view/yap-i-smell-some-bullshit-spray-gif-15483153

[abstract gate]

It should be absolutely achievable if you start the event at 200 thingies.

It is not.

[copper onyx]

I might appreciate it more if the pulls were more often... as it is you can screw up the event just with one bad click, or a mis-timing, or whatever. As it stands, the whole event was written in a way to screw people over... from those who got their free cloak refit, only to try it out (so they missed the 500 pt freebie), to those who run into this bills-up of a scoring system... they should have just lowered the count so it made sense for all who earn tetryon particles

[abstract gate]

There you go, you missed one day

[hardy parcel]

this sucks for everyone who either didn't perfectly optimise their output and/or just happen to be working/sleeping otherwise busy for a very specific and short time frame.

[warm rover]

Sometimes I think a lot of people here forget what game they are playing

[hardy parcel]

and I say that as someone who DID go to the trouble of optimising my shards

It's a two day event they cut in half

[copper onyx]

what, you mean Star Trek Fleet Command, a game that is meant to be fun so that people stay to spend money for Scopely to rake in!

[abstract gate]

Sometimes I think people forget that you shouldn’t have to plan a game so very specifically.

[abstract gate]

Sorry, but again, on you if you did that. This game is enough of a mindless grind as it is, it’s awesome at least some events require (simple) planning by reading the event calendar

[abstract gate]

I did plan.

I didn’t use my cloak all day so I had over full cloak thingies.

Still don’t have a chance.

[hardy parcel]

you forget it's a global event. people shouldn't need to interrupt work or sleep to complete an event 😂

[abstract gate]

And it’s the holidays

[abstract gate]

I was referring to using the cloak acquiring outside of the event, as the one I replied to was describing

[abstract gate]

See above, same applies

[lean ridge]

Ridiculus If scopely Plans IT this way, Cash Rules the Game, i could Not eat so much as i want to puke

[crude jetty]

there's planning and planning, can you stop saying shit ?

[hardy parcel]

cash always rules. you had to spend to even have the cloak in the first place

[hollow ferry]

I want my tetrions back please, total b s

[warm rover]

We all know these events exist. So get to 260 and wait for the next

[abstract gate]

If you missed the second of arc disappearing event because you couldn’t wait with acquiring cloak for three days… yeah well.

[copper onyx]

This would have been a break from the grind, even without this idiocy, but as with other flaws with this game over time, once you're happy with it, who cares about anyone else's opinion... right?

[abstract gate]

Okay right, it isn’t really planning. It’s more “reading”

[lean ridge]

Not true i got the cloak over Battlepass for the legonary without spending Money

[hardy parcel]

no, you bought the battlepass

[abstract gate]

If you’re just cherrypicking we can stop right now. I agreed this is a poor event. But whatever you’ve been stating is fallacious. I wouldn’t change an event on account of that.

[lean ridge]

Wasnt free ? I only Pay for Battlepass 😂

[hardy parcel]

As a two day event it works. one day is idiotic

[abstract gate]

Agreed, it is. It prevents you from using the feature 😅

[modern estuary]

they should increase the cap to 260 then the event would be possible in 1 day

[abstract gate]

So you paid for the battle pass but you paid nothing for the cloak.

That came in the battle pass.

[quick olive]

Or maybe just increase the point payout so you can do it in less kills/cloaks.

[abstract gate]

Don’t bother, not the first contradiction 😉

Have a read through that again a bit slower and tell me where you went wrong.

[hardy parcel]

so did you get the battlepass for free?

[copper onyx]

More that it seemed you were stating it was such a marvellous event, and break from the norm.... Your comment that it was a poor event goes some way to ameliorating that, and though I still disagree with it being 'fair', you have a right to defend the way it plays out 'game-wise' 🙂

[lean ridge]

I did Not even know If it was in the VIP Battlepass or in the free one, maybe i bought IT over Battlepass

[abstract gate]

It was in the paid track.

So it was not free.

[abstract gate]

It definitely isn’t a marvellous event and I’ve stated that in at least three messages, hence the cherrypicking comment 😉

[lean ridge]

OK cant remember

[hardy parcel]

It was in the paid pass

[copper onyx]

Maybe I just caught to more general comments 🙂

[crude jetty]

Ho yeah, reading the wall of event details
and
spot the little cloaking event and think of preparing during 5 days just for it ??
"ok, so i had 210, so i need to use 8 cloaks, then refill 1 times than cloak 3 more times to be at 0 and then refill 4 times"

Yeah just reading...

[abstract gate]

I can, that’s why I said 😉

[abstract gate]

No, that’s cherrypicking again.

This run is garbage.

But during the arc, if you pulled your refit too soon for the event…

[abstract gate]

Yeah you should try it some time? My comments were about the second instalment of the event during previous arc?

It’s not like they ran it at the start of the arc which was a dead giveaway it would be back.

Think I should go and prepare dinner. Trying to convince people with written words that they should start reading is… well let’s call it counterproductive

[crude jetty]

i warned my mates during the last event just after its launch, to pull their tachyon asap to be able to finish their events.
But this one is a sneaky one, completely BS

[abstract gate]

Why are you tagging me if you’re not responding to my comment? Please don’t spam.

[abstract gate]

https://tenor.com/view/beating-dead-horse-beatingadeadhorse-reaction-gif-4547247

[hardy parcel]

It's always a good idea to optimise the amount of resources you have when there is a soft cap (like the transwarp coils) in any case. the issue here is that you could do all that and still get facked just cos you didn't start the event in the first few hours.
I totally agree - read the calendar and plan for events but they should also be reasonable

[ember walrus]

Should be able to finish tomorrow before reset but event is still trash. 65 per day. 25 to cloak. 21 hours cd on more cloak fuel

[uneven oak]

I will be able to finish event tomorrow as well. I started with 260 tetryons, collect 65 today and the refresh is 1 hr before event finishes. So current score is 455

[opaque sandal]

See lots of folks complaining again about the cloak event. My Tetryon inventory filled up couple days ago. I burned it below 200 to get the extra and then did it again this morning not realizing an event was coming. My bad for not paying attention to schedule. But I got mine down to 195 and collected 65, which took it up to 260. Using 25 per cloak and 10 points per hostile ended at 350 points for event. I know the cool down is 22 hours so I can collect twice more taking my total to 140. This will allow me 5 more hits at 35 points each, for a total of 175 more points. Which will take me to the 500 point max for event. This is only doable if you “paid” for the BP elite path and collected a 26 level ship cloak for free as well as having a ship to use it on. But if folks paid attention to how things work you can easily accomplish even with the fact that I burned 2 cloaks this morning prior to the event. If you did event right away with a 26 level cloak capable ship and collected your 65 and did it again, than everyone should be good with the way it is set up. Easy Peasy and Freebies.

[ember walrus]

Now just because we can complete because we used nothing does not make it good

[hardy parcel]

what about everyone currently working or sleeping that can't get two refills.
This kind of "I'm alright" attitude helps no one

[copper onyx]

So glad people who get 65 tetryons per day are so happy with this event... at least you get 65, I guess?

[opaque sandal]

If you played to the dynamics built into game then you could have 455 points today and pull tomorrow to complete. So your whine is for your own inability to play game effectively by not understanding dynamics or paying attention to schedule.

[ivory coral]

Isn't this the same number of points we needed when given two days during the arc?

[abstract gate]

Did you have enough ultra recruit tokens?

[ember walrus]

Not happy with event. It is doable but its trash

[ember walrus]

Fairly sure yes

[copper onyx]

... so much for even getting 65...

[south arrow]

So you expect everyone to know how many points needed for an unknown event?

[opaque sandal]

I had over 30k when event ran. And am up to 41k with everything they have given us with these events.

[abstract gate]

That’s a shame.

I was really hoping to throw your crap argument back on you.

[ivory coral]

With the time between this and the last cloaking, I did not have enough time to build up the 250 again after getting the points last time, so saying it's your fault is silly

[opaque sandal]

Expecting a game to tailor to your needs only is silly.

[hardy parcel]

no my complaint is it's a global game so completion shouldn't be tied to a two hour window unless specifically stated.
it was a two day event - changing it to one is a mistake.
I can complete the event, doesn't make it any better

[abstract gate]

The event should be achievable without sacrificing your firstborn, success in a previous event and having a 60 minute window to start it.

Moronic arguments by “I’m alright Jack, pull the ladder up” types like you are unhelpful

The mechanic is absolutely gank. You cannot hold a useful amount of these things, you do not refresh them at a useful rate and in order to succeed in a holiday event (not even paid arc event!) you have to have stockpiled to the absolute theoretical maximum AND done your pulls at precisely the right time, or you’re boned.

[opaque sandal]

So every event should only happen if someone can achieve it. Or everyone else is doing it wrong cause they can achieve it and someone else can’t. Not every event will be achievable by everyone. And this one isn’t tied to the gummies at least. That one is an everyone can do event and gives everyone their little rewards from store. After they do another 335 event to equal the 1k needed.

[abstract gate]

This one isn’t achievable by the majority though.

It’s achievable by very, very few.

[hardy parcel]

congratulations! yes, every event should be achievable

[abstract gate]

That means it is broken.

A few missing it, that’s what you call “bad planning”.

[tropic aspen]

Having events, especially for a holiday event not be achievable by the majority is effing stupid

[hardy parcel]

this

[abstract gate]

When I can start the event with more than max tetryons, a pull available and still not be achievable, that is ridiculous.

[tropic aspen]

Stop trying to defend the game like it's your family and step back and realize your loyalty for it it is 1000% more than the loyalty they have for you

There are definite times where people pitch fork unnecessarily, I get that. But I don't think this event is one of those times

Let's step back and calm down everyone. It's still the first couple of hours. Most likely they just lazily copy pasted the event and didn't even realize it's not achievable by the majority in half the time

And we will eventually get some generic I'm sorry crate

[opaque sandal]

😂. So you fail at something and it’s the games fault. This game is bugged and rigged to grab cash. But if everyone rushes to the finish line then they set them selfs up to just tear up and flail in here like a dead fish. This game is not perfect but like with any game you have to learn the way it works to maximize your efforts.

[tropic aspen]

This isn't me just talking about those defending scopely right now it's also those upset too. I could get the amount of frustration if this was midnight and nothing came out yet but its not even been 2 hours. We've been through this before

[solar veldt]

Completing this event will get you .00001% stronger than not completing it.

[hardy parcel]

it's not even that. you could plan perfectly and still fail because the event reset is at the wrong time and they changed the event from 2 days to 1 day.
but you carry on drinking that kool aid

[abstract gate]

Right? Some people just aren’t that switched on. This is a game, not a job, if you have to plan how past maximum you are then you gone screwed the event.

[tropic aspen]

A 24h event should be doable by those who have a 24h's worth of resources avail

[opaque sandal]

And if anyone has played this game for sometime. Then they know how scopely likes to run events. If I could not accomplish an event cause I did not have the necessary resources, that is not a reason to come in here and tear it apart. It’s just the way the cookie crumbles with every game. If you want to 100% it. Then console games like Lego may be more for you.

[hardy parcel]

they don't usually make events HARDER for holidays, they usually make them easier 😂

[tropic aspen]

I don't even use my cloak outside of events and I'm going to be 10 points short of completion

[narrow crypt]

Scopely Math fails again. Take 48 hour event. Run it over 24 hours... Don't adjust scoring.

[abstract gate]

I guess you don’t do “people” very much.

[narrow crypt]

Guys, ignore Jester... He's clearly trolling you.

[abstract gate]

I get that impression because most of the not very peopley people in here are less anti-people than you’re being right now 😉

[tropic aspen]

All jokes aside the Lego series of games are pretty enjoyable lol

Although I haven't played one in years

[lost shell]

But fr though, I bought a cloak first go round because I wanna cloak murder folks during war... not save all my cloaks for an event and spend them all at once.

[sharp cairn]

4 of 10 shard gift. Thank you Scopely for making that right.

[narrow crypt]

The irony is... Spenders will fail this event if they use a bigger ship...
Gladius uses 35 per cloak... So you get less points per kill.

FWIW if I get up in the middle of the night, I will score 525 points and complete. I'm of of the few who will complete.

[narrow crypt]

Yes, this... At the moment Cloaking is for saving and hoarding for badly calculated events... Great way to use a cool new feature.

[abstract gate]

I’m really enjoying having to plan using my cloaking fuel for a D3 cloak so I can use it for events rather than having fun with my Augur.

[lost shell]

We call them cloakbucks over here

[abstract gate]

I call them unobtanium.

[narrow crypt]

I call them Tittyrons.
Not sure why... Makes my inner 15 year old chuckle.

[grim river]

Attacking while clocked and dying doesn’t give points and it should so can I fix this?

[placid hazel]

I put in a ticket to Scopely the last time for this same reason. All they did was revise the text in the event.

[ember walrus]

I hit lvl 5 hostiles lol

[placid hazel]

This time I went after lvl 10 guys

[ember walrus]

If you hit hostiles open a ticket i guess

[hardy parcel]

yes - don't die

[earnest hornet]

What are you attacking?? And yea as has been said, don’t die 😂😂

[tardy ether]

Cloak event needs 500 pts to complete. I can hold 200 plus a 65 tetryon refill plus a 65 tetryon refill after 21hr cooldown for a max of 330 tetryons. I can cloak using 25 per cloak which means I can cloak a total of 13 times yielding 13 x 25 = 325 points plus 130 points for defeating the hostiles. Earning a maximum of 455 points. It is impossible for me to complete this event without purchasing tertyons. Or am I missing something??

[tribal valley]

Will there be an event this weekend for spending uncommons?

[vagrant juniper]

So Scopely... this is pretty stupid. Disappearing act isn't possible to finish without paying. I had 250 tetryons(more than max) and a claim ready to go. That's 10 cloaks and 10 kills without claiming my refill. 350 points. Claimed my refill which brought me up to 385. when I claim my next chest I'll be able to do 2 more. That's only 70 points. Nowhere near enough to get to the 500 for the event.

[earnest hornet]

Not missing anything if you want all the milestones you’ll have to have enough tetryons or buy some,
But majority of people will be able to get 3 milestones, that’s happy enough for me,
Have to always remember not EVERY event is going to be easy for 100% of the people

You’ve done the math so only spend enough to get to milestone 3,

[copper onyx]

well, they've managed to screw me out of 2 chances at getting the Avatar (and once RL did it).... I'd like to get that 4th milestone at least once! (3 chances if you include the non-F2p first run... but I'm being fair to them there)

[tardy ether]

I understand not having enough to complete an event, but this event is DESIGNED to be impossible to complete even while holding the maximum allowable amount of teryons

[earnest hornet]

If you have I think it was 260 I think people were saying earlier before event and timed to get 2 chest pulls in the day it is technically possible. But no not easy

[copper onyx]

I only get 55 tetryons per pull...

[earnest hornet]

Or buy a pack, and they also have the purchase packs in the store, so the easy way is if people are buying cloak for their ship.

[sour jacinth]

265 and a pull, cloak and kill within 2 hours of event start, get the pull, then get another pull tomorrow before the event ends, that is enough to finish the event without paying.

[lean ridge]

How could everyone think to use the cloak for what ist Made for.....its Always a Trap Made by scopely 🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑

[mystic violet]

I just built the D3 today, blew 4 days worth of speed ups for the cloak event. I am stuck at 350 points and I’m out of Tetryons. How do I finish this event? Where can I acquire more before the event ends? Any tips?

Is there anyway to mine Tetryons?

[frosty notch]

buy cloak for legionary if you took free one for d3 and unlock = event done

xD

[mystic violet]

I would not have wasted 4 days worth of speed ups if I knew the event couldn’t be completed

[frosty notch]

20$ cheapest way if you were not ready with 245+ tetryons

[tardy ether]

Ok at 260 I can do 10 cloaks with 10 teryons remaining plus 130 for the 2 refills is 140 tetryons. This gives 5 more cloaks. Total 15 cloaks is 375 points plus 150 points for hostiles is 525. So I need to manipulate my holdings to 195 tetryons then get 65 more and then wait for the event. Then it’s possible…yeah that’s easy. How to make sure I have 195 tetryons at some point?

[mystic violet]

I do not have a legionary and I’m looking for a free way, I’ve already wasted over $500 on this game, not wasting more if these events keep asking for money

[frosty notch]

245+ enough

for a free way you should have 245+ tetryons at start of event and to be able to take 65 more from gifts )

at first 2 hours and 65 more in 22h

[sour jacinth]

Spend a few days prior to the event getting your tetyrons to the correct amount. That’s what I did, I saw the event coming on the calendar, knew I’d have to have near 250 plus a pull ready to go at event start…

[inner cave]

Nope maths is right.

[copper onyx]

.. this magic 65 tetryon gift you speak of...

[frosty notch]

15 cloaks needed x 25 = 375 - 130 for 2 pulls at 0 and 22h = 245 needed at beginning

[mystic violet]

I get 10 per hostile, with 200 Tetryons to start and the additional 65, thats 10 attacks which is 100 points. And then the tetryons spent is 250. It costs 25 per round. So max possible points is 350

[frosty notch]

well yes lower levels screwed more )

[mystic violet]

I only get 10 points for attacking a hostile while cloaked

[frosty notch]

of you do, but you get 25 more for using cloak

so 35 per 25 spent

[mystic violet]

10 x 10 = 100, and then 250 spent. Locked at 350

[twilit gulch]

I'm lvl39 🙂

[copper onyx]

Bully for you 😉

[sour jacinth]

And then 2 pulls is 130 more tetryons

[mystic violet]

10x10 is 100 points and 250 for Tetryon used, I need more Tetryons

[smoky flax]

Are you counting the 10 points each time you hit a hostile while cloaked?

[sour jacinth]

So 5 more attacks

[frosty notch]

you wont complete it if you had only 200 at start 🙂

[sour jacinth]

165 more points

[mystic violet]

That’s stupid

[sour jacinth]

15 points over the 500 needed

[mystic violet]

I used all of my tetryons. Started with 200

[twilit gulch]

But that doesn't change the fact, that I'm stuck at 3/4 🤷‍♂️

[mystic violet]

Yeah, what a joke of an event. Spend money, but spend more money to do our events because you cannot just sit at $500 spent, we want $2,000

So stupid

F this game

[sour jacinth]

Start the event with 245 or more tetyrons, and a pull ready. Within 2 hours of even start, cloak, kill and do a tetyrons pull. Tomorrow before the even ends, you get another pill.

[smoky flax]

It's still asking a lot of folks to be on that exact schedule

Not everyone can do that,

[copper onyx]

At least your extra 10 tetryons per pull make it slightly easier... in theory.... but yes, I feel your pain. Welcome to Scopely getting their sums wrong, and then ignoring it when people point it out!

[sour jacinth]

No tetyrons bought for cash, but event is done

[ember walrus]

What id your needed total?

[sour jacinth]

This is the Scopely way. You have to plan everything out to maximize rewards

[thin pagoda]

Thank Scopley for the 4 of 10 shards. You have made it “right”

[ember walrus]

Technically you can if timing is perfect

[frosty notch]

had to buy only 20k points pack for first cloak unlock, all the rest done f2p

[thin pagoda]

Yeah. Realize today I should be using a cloak a day to build those up. 115 short to complete event

[sour jacinth]

I missed it last time it ran due to not paying attention to the timing, so when I saw the event on the calendar, I spent the past few days manipulating my pulls so that I had everything lined up.

[midnight bone]

The cap is totally a cash grab

[lean ridge]

So there is still No Response from scopely or Team , it Shows they give nothing in your comments 😉

[mystic violet]

Not spending another $1 on this game, even if VIAC’s stock went to $100. What a bunch of crap.

[sour jacinth]

Rev Duce just did a video about it, maybe watch that?

[tardy ether]

So here it is, disappearing act completion for free

Yes you can, see my pic posted just above

[hardy parcel]

yes. If you started with 245 or more tetryons. are at a level where you are getting at least 65 tetryons per chest AND you started the event in the first two hours you can complete it for free.
That's hardly the majority of players.....

[unkempt pecan]

Yes - 227 needed at event start. . . .i stand corrected. Just poor planning then. 😂

[tribal valley]

Anyone got a weekend event schedule?

[frosty notch]

there is a problem for those who get less than 65 daily ))

60 will still work probably

[twilit gulch]

lvl 39 is 65 not 75

[sharp cairn]

that chart is wrong. 37 gets 65 per day

[frosty notch]

thats why it unverified 🙂

[twilit gulch]

🙈

[sharp cairn]

but yes, the number does vary- thats why some people might not have a problem.

[frosty notch]

better one )

375 needed - 120 = 255 still possible to get 255 with 60 daily

but very complicated

[copper onyx]

well, now Rev Deuce has laid into them about it... so maybe something might happen... ?

[frosty notch]

they just need to extend to 2 days

or gift 100 for free 🙂

[hardy parcel]

I'm hoping it's just a genuine error and they meant for it to be either two days or a totally different event. since the one in the schedule has a different name

[uneven peak]

Yes. I currently have 420 points and 10 tetryons. I'll get 60 more tomorrow. I need 80 points, I'll have 70 tetryons- I can use 50 of those (25 per cloak) plus 2 attacks. I'll be left with 490 points and 20 tetryons. 5 more and I can do one more cloak and finish the event.

[copper onyx]

Wild guess, but I'm wondering if they were trying to remedy the complaints of the Duality arc version (hence the change of name in the Rota) , and ran out of time, and some higher-up said "Just stick the old one in... that worked, right?!"

[twilit gulch]

Last time was the same 💩 ... 3/4 of the event was doable for free ... also 24hrs 🤷‍♂️

[frosty notch]

rush ops 34 to get 65 tomorrow

[hardy parcel]

the last two runs of the event were 48 hours

[uneven peak]

I'm only 32 now
There's not enough parsteel 😂

[wintry tundra]

Pure f2p can’t even get to the first milestone. So maybe be grateful that you get 3/4? Just a thought.

[frosty notch]

true, pure f2p couldn't get cloak )

[hardy parcel]

absolutely. but now paying players have to open their wallets again lol

[twilit gulch]

I'm not angry ... just saying that 3/4 was my max i could do for free 🙂

[waxen sedge]

This isn't accurate, or maybe it is server dependent, I am ops 42 and only get 65 a day.

[wintry tundra]

Happened to me last time too. I am not using my cloak so I could just plan it out. Got lucky. Other couldn’t.

[frosty notch]

https://discord.gg/CdvCWvVjwX info from this channel )

latest updated xD can be inaccurate

[abstract gate]

As Hari says it’s either inaccurate or has some server dependency

At ops 42 I’m looking at 65 per day

[twilit gulch]

I think we can agree on, that the cloaking event, as it is, is a joke ... right? 🤔

[abstract gate]

Yeah it’s a poor event. I could complete it, but only because I have 0 use for cloaking a d3. Don’t mind payers only events either, but usually they’re more evidently so

[winged tulip]

Ops44, 65/day

[south arrow]

Ops 45 only 65 as well

[abstract gate]

The event wasn’t doable at all for free. Cost $20 for the battlepass to get cloaking

[twilit gulch]

Honestly ... spending 20 on a game like this ... I still consider those f2p 😉

[abstract gate]

Jesus h Christ. That’s not f2p

Free to play

[lean ridge]

Scopely dont react cause Not enough people are crying 😂😂😂😂

SSDD

[abstract gate]

It’s right in the name ‘free’

[sullen barn]

i spent 5 here and 5 there from the google pay surveys money, also did it when a discount was up so less than 5 each time really. 😛

[abstract gate]

Which still isnt free but clearly people don’t understand what f2p means

[sullen barn]

yep i dont really call myself f2p, just nearly. was thinking of starting to get the battle pass back in December but January came and it felt like game quality took a dive and hasnt really recovered to make it worth investing money

[twilit gulch]

If I see the big spenders on our server then from my POV 20 is free 😉 bc getting the Tribune in a matter of days ... that's what i call free-2-pay 🤣

[abstract gate]

True f2p, because everyone seems to think a battlepass is f2p, are the people who can’t even see the packs in store and still have the original ones for $5

[twilit gulch]

Yes, you're right. That's why i said "from my POV" 🙂

[sullen barn]

2nd research shows up for $20 and peace shield shows up for $10

[cursive sonnet]

Going to be 45 points short of completion, so that was a complete waste

[celest cloud]

This infographic is not accurate, I am Ops 41 and get 65 daily Tetryon.

[narrow crypt]

This is incorrect - 41 is 65.

Just talking to guys in my alliance - 45's get 65 as well.

[indigo perch]

Isn't there supposed to be some way of upgrading the cloak?

[south arrow]

I have no idea

[robust vapor]

Isn't that just tired to the warp engine tier?

[lost abyss]

Cloak time and cooldown are tied to warp engine upgrades

[earnest hornet]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/656542930693128257/895660555988254750/Cloak-Timers-Costs.png

[worldly stratus]

I love how scopely rewards players for their purchases. I spent $20 on the battlepass during the arc to get the cloak for a legionnaire. Then I thought they would consider planning events using the cloak in the future but it's sad that they can't even get something as simple as scoring metrics correct in their game. I used the full load of tetryons and had my extra pull for today. But I didn't start this event at or around server reset so the required particles won't be available to me to complete an event in which I've already paid money for the feature promoted for last arc.

[lost abyss]

People obviously didn’t buy enough cloaking packs during the arc, they are trying to beat you over the head with having to buy a pack to do an event.

[indigo perch]

Ty

[languid herald]

Ticket sent in.

[rose sphinx]

It’s just a shame that a good event was ruined for a lot of players. I’m referring to the ‘Disappearing Act’ that was shorten from a 2 day event to a 24-hour event; resulting in players not getting enough tetryons to complete the event. It’s just another example of poor judgement. (This is a continuing issue, imo.)

[slim solar]

If they dont do something yes, which is really annoying because apart from this and changing it to ultras this month was really good

[dreamy tide]

Still can complete it....just required you to have an over cap stock before the event starts......and redeem a new lot of tetryons within a few hours of the event starting...then again 22 hours later

[cunning radish]

That’s what they’re complaining about

Lol

[elder gyro]

I had an overcap no you can not

[dreamy tide]

You can...

[elder gyro]

No you cant

I had 225 starting

[slim solar]

You can, but its needs to be a certain amount over

[elder gyro]

Then i got 65

[dreamy tide]

then you didn't have enough at the start...

[slim solar]

Which, he would have had the event been 2 days like normal, hence his issues. Which are valid

[elder gyro]

Exactly

[dreamy tide]

you need spend before the event....get to 190 or 195....then redeem 65........then wait for the event

[slim solar]

well he cant do that now can he

[dreamy tide]

it's doable if you planned days in advance.......but agree it's ridiculous

[slim solar]

A simple chest of 100 tets will make this all fine

[elder gyro]

How do you plan days in advance you act like we are psychics

Exactly

[dreamy tide]

the event is stupid....it required you to redeem within 2 hours of event start then again just before it finishes.....guess what most people are sleeping

[slim solar]

and have enough over to do it i think

cause i think had you have 225 to start you may not have enough anyway

havent done the math on that yet tho

For my ops with 225 to start i would have a total of, 355, which is 14 cloaks, 350 points. Would be 10 off

[dreamy tide]

if you get 55 points a day...then yeah sorry your fck'd

[slim solar]

so for me you have to have more than 240 to start with

I get 65

[elder gyro]

Exactly

This is a buy event

But for what f2p get its alot tbh

[slim solar]

its either, f2p if you are lucky. Or p2p if not

[dreamy tide]

correct you need 245 in your bank before the event started....then two redeems in the 24hours of the event....

[midnight bone]

Got to wonder if they even monitor this channel anymore

[slim solar]

sounds right, im lucky i had like 255 or smth so ill do it. But its not fair on those that dont

[dreamy tide]

APAC servers this event is stupid as most people are sleeping at the time the event starts

[ivory coral]

Especially this soon after the last event, I had spent down during it and this one had not been advertised so when it came up I had exactly enough to fill up my reserve but not enough time to juke numbers so I had max possible. I got unlucky and so I will not finish this one. This is a great way to discourage people from using the new mechanic any time that is not in an event, and only use it in an event to waste on hostile grinding...

[cunning radish]

You same thing with every other resource in the game. Any event for any resource pretty much does it.

[ivory coral]

Completely confused by your word choice? I understand that planning is needed to complete events, I just think it is sad that Scopley seems to be trying to destroy enjoyment of their new mechanic for anyone who wants to do events.

[sour jacinth]

The event was announced on the calendar, it is exactly like it had run 3 times before

This game is either pay or resource management…

No different than spending all your ultra recruit tokens and not having them, or spending all your g2 g3 or g4 mats before a spend event, why does nobody understand this?

[ivory coral]

Except one day shorter than the previous two runs and only on the calendar with exactly enough time to not give you time to make sure your resources could hit as high over as needed. If it would have been one day longer since the previous event I would have easily had the res

[desert laurel]

disappearing act wasn't scheduled to run, going ghost was, so while it was likely to have the same kind of scoring mechanic, a 1 day event should have been expected to have half the pts required

[sour jacinth]

Then why exactly was I able to plan for it, and make it work? Cause I know how Scopely works, and you guys just complain?

[ivory coral]

There is a difference from normal mats this is closer to the borg transworp cells as they are the only other limited resource I can think of and Scopely never is this hard core on it

Luck

[sour jacinth]

They GAVE us the transwarp cells to finish that event

[ivory coral]

Exactly

???

[sour jacinth]

They GAVE us the tetyrons

If you spent them before, how is that Scopely fault?

[ivory coral]

I spent none between the last event and this one is my point

[sour jacinth]

Like the ultra tokens, one thing this game teaches you, and they did it in the last arc with this event, you had to have extras before it started, and time your pulls

[desert laurel]

that's a poor way to play though, you're asking people to log in at the right times to play for some duration necessary to perform the task

[sour jacinth]

I’m far from a Scopely shill, but this event was telegraphed, and it is totally easy to accomplish if you bought the premium bp to get the cloak unlock.

[ivory coral]

You cannot put together a backlog of this resource, in my opinion they are just running this one a bit too close together, I don't mind the number

[sour jacinth]

Candle, the bonus refinery has been that way forever

[desert laurel]

and why do you want more things like that? did you play during disco?

[sour jacinth]

Hell, faction hunt was that way too, it was 3, 8 hour events in a 24 hour period.

[ivory coral]

I played during Disco, that was an interesting mechanic 🙂 It was a pain but interesting

[sour jacinth]

I never said I did, I just said it’s not impossible like everyone is saying

[desert laurel]

disco had flash events, that asked players to play every hour on the hour, it is was a terrible idea and anything that gets us closer to that worst-case scenario is a bad idea

[sour jacinth]

It’s no more different than any other event that you have to plan for and time

[ivory coral]

I did not say it is impossible, it just was impossible for me the way my numbers fell after the last event

[desert laurel]

give people the whole day to run their events at their leisure and you'd have a better game than dictating everyone log in this 2 h window

the event is possible, but it is poor gaming

[sour jacinth]

Sure, or let anyone that wants to win it spend 49 bux, that’s the Scopely way

[ivory coral]

Nah that event didn't have a pay to win way 🙂

[sour jacinth]

All I’m saying is that it’s not that hard to win, if you paid attention to the previous ones

[ivory coral]

Purely a play at this time over and over again during the day or no credit

[sour jacinth]

Every event has a pay to win way

[ivory coral]

And I'm just saying that if you zeroed out literally at the last event it was not possible to win this one, which is fine

[sour jacinth]

You can buy the cloak and instant win

[ivory coral]

Not back in that Disco event.

I mean you could pay to work around the event but that event had been a play to win only event

[sour jacinth]

Yes, umm, that is always possible, you can always paw to win events

It may be incredibly strange way, but yes, you can pay to win any event in this game, unless you are outspent, it is their business model

[cunning radish]

I didn’t do the ones in the arc so it was easy for me

[ivory coral]

Again, that event that you have admitted not to have been playing for did not have a spend to win mechanic

[cunning radish]

Just applied cloaking to ship 🤣

[ivory coral]

There you go 🙂

[robust vapor]

Oh man, all you high rollers 😬

At least you're able to participate 😉

[sour jacinth]

What disco event?

[cunning radish]

By mid December I should be ops 38 or 39. Not bad for a year playing

🤗

[ivory coral]

The one me and Cand1e had been talking about

[sour jacinth]

You keep bringing that up, the disco was a pay to get ship

At first

[ivory coral]

Back when it first came out

Nah it was given away in the free season pass during it's first month

[sour jacinth]

Yea, you had to buy it

Or pay for the research

Ok, so what is your point?

[ivory coral]

You had to buy it? No, it was given away when it came out

[sour jacinth]

Cause you lost me…

[ivory coral]

I got it free

We had been talking about it's first month... honestly it doesn't matter now. If you want to believe that Scopely has never done an event that there wasn't a pay to win option keep on believing 🙂

[sour jacinth]

Interesting, somehow I went from Scopely Shill for saying you can do this ghost event for free to now being anti Scopely

[ivory coral]

I love your attempt to create drama, I never said you were a Scopely shill, nor have I ever attempted to say that most people with planning and preparation for the event could not have won this, I am saying for those who zeroed out during the last event and I mean 0, like myself did not have enough time to play with their resources to be able to also get this one. That said I also do not believe we need to win all events. I just wanted to put in my comment in case Scopely actually read this, but with people building drama for drama's sake I can see why I was mistaken

If the cap where not there I would also have been able to win, and if they had made it one more day apart I would have been fine

[cunning radish]

It’s like 50 g3 gas

I’m sure people will survive not doing it

Not directed at you kelz

[ivory coral]

Exactly 🙂

Oh I have been agreeing with most of what all of you have been saying. I just wanted to have an official couple of comments on file 🙂

[cunning radish]

^^

[sour jacinth]

Scopely doesn’t read this, they never have

All I’m saying is that this event is easily done, IF you paid attention to the even in the previous arc.

[ivory coral]

Roger, then neither will I

[sour jacinth]

All Scopely cares about is whales, whaling.

Yet this event is not that difficult compared to any other event that Scopely tries to make a pay event. That is all I’m saying.

[mystic violet]

It’s a bad business idea to have events like today’s cloaking event. It just upsets the spenders who see the blatant cash grab. Double dipping is not cool.

[viral forge]

Why are the cloak events not considered double dipping, they are extremely hard to finish without paying

[mystic violet]

It’s blatant double dipping

[cunning radish]

so?

dont finish them

the world wont fall

just pretend it isnt there

[junior jewel]

Guys, anyone knows if BattlePass rewards at OPS lvl40 have 4G uncommon mats as rewards? Or it is same as 38-39?

[half patio]

4G as a reward in Battle Pass appears with 40 opc

but you need to already be 40lvl before start BattlePass
If BP is already running, the reward will not change if you raise the level to 40

[vivid swan]

This event can only be done if:
1- you start the event within 2 hours of reset
2- you made sure to have the maximum amount of tets possible

Neither of those 2 should be needed. So no. This event is not 'easily done'. You are 100% correct with saying that if go above and beyond its easy to do. But this isnt possible for everybody.

Maybe someone is sleeping during the reset and only Wakes up 5 hours after reset.
In my case the reset happens at 18:00. Coming home from work, preparing Dinner, go eat Dinner, make sure the children are doing their homework / taking care of the little ones.
How much time do you think remains to play this game between 18:00 and 20:00?

So no ..... Not easy.

And regarding preparing for it. That rly shouldnt be needed. There is no event that asks for this level of preparedness.

[covert heart]

i acquired d3 cloaking thru the store thinking it would net me 500 points for the event. and alas it did NOT!!!!

STUPID Event

[random tide]

@covert heart it should. after you buy it, you have to go to your hangar and actually unlock the cloak

[covert heart]

THAT is the problem, i have to have those ships unlocked

[random tide]

no you dont

[covert heart]

?

[random tide]

i have no d3 or legionary. worked for me when i unlocked it. ill show you

[covert heart]

please do

oooh i got it Gobbles

[random tide]

kk

here i was taking ss and drawing on them lol

[covert heart]

lol stopped u from continuing

[random tide]

yeah, "buying" is not "unlocking"

[covert heart]

i went to hangar like u said... i didnt realize this part of the game. lol when i bought it and it didnt rack up points... i thought shyte i gotta load it to the ship that i dont have

whew

[random tide]

like any other skin. just gotta basically "claim" it in the hangar

its a weird mechanic

[covert heart]

Eve online does the same. but its more visible

and gives me notice to claim something... this game dont

[random tide]

well, now you know, glad you got your rewards

[covert heart]

thanks! now i feel slightly beter even tho this WAS the only way for me to complete the event wihtout he ship. which is ridiculous right?

[random tide]

completely

for alot of people, event is impossible to complete

[covert heart]

unless u scored those shards from the worf side missions

its like some other ppl said, that kind of preparing is ridiculous for a f2p game

[random tide]

yeah, you have to save EVERYTHING

[covert heart]

unless it was intended for those that do BP which is kinda considered a subscription if you look at it that way. making it a regular MMO game

[random tide]

nah, even those that doe premium bp couldnt do it today. one day is not enough

all we can do is give feedback and hope they change it in the future

[covert heart]

ah i see

so i overflowed with tetryons and it gave me ONE speed up in lieu. lame

[wintry tundra]

There was a way but it meant very thorough preparation which most players (>95%) didn’t (or couldn’t) do. You need 245 tetryons to start the event and the ability of pulling 65 twice in 24 hours. If you actually do use your cloak on a regular basis the 4th milestone is not reachable. Event structure is bad but then again it is not the first one that came as a surprise: domination without ship XP or officer XP came out of nowhere too.

[celest cloud]

As AndiT says, it is theoretically possible without paying more and I am on track to do it so long as I can get online to play in the last 90m of the event... but it required planning that no-one should have to do to get there.

Even as a 2-day event (as it was in the arc) it is rather flawed as you would have needed to pull 3 times and have at least 185 Tetryon...

[random tide]

guys, yes i know its theoretically possible

but its still very very improbably and its a safe assumption to say its generally not doable

[celest cloud]

I am quite literally doing it, so no, it is not improbable.

[random tide]

if you had 250 and if you claimed x amount if you were the right ops level and if you were using the right ship and you didnt mess up any of the attacks, yeah, its doable

thats alot of ifs

omg dude
