[weary niche]

ops 36 - 7.22B spend for completion

[dapper halo]

Our mate on ops 54 has to spend 1 trillion 😂

[bronze bloom]

144B steel… at ops46 after spend event, scopley you learnt nothing!!!!!!

[quartz wren]

Ops 44 is 88.8 Billion, and Ops 18 is 42 Million. Definitely some crazy numbers here

[inner cave]

@weary niche 170 for a lvl 47 player in my alliance

[soft salmon]

Lol!

[true cypress]

Scoply evil confirmed lol

[earnest quartz]

Wallet event

[inner cave]

Completely not worth it

[soft salmon]

211,1 billion for lvl 48

[plucky kraken]

14B Stella…. Ya no 😂😂😂😂

[soft salmon]

Thats insane

[crimson barn]

But you get to open a recruit chest... 1 recruit chest 🤣🤣🤣

[odd knoll]

Lol, no thanks.

[sudden ledge]

scopely when they set the amounts

[kindred peak]

Any ideas on these assignments tokens ?

[west eagle]

Recruit chest

[kindred peak]

Is that it

[west eagle]

Yup

[pale cobalt]

Not doing station upgrade event spend 57.6B steel is complete BS

[west eagle]

Smh

[zinc moat]

88 Billions 😂🙈

[brisk sluice]

This station upgrade event milestones are absolute BS. WTF Scopely

[true cypress]

oh? where did ya see that

[abstract gate]

Before I go and spend 1B parsteel, I wanna know if this was intentional...

[earnest river]

Lol

[true cypress]

ah found it

hahahaha

[brisk sluice]

Take the milestones and divide by 100

[west eagle]

Recruit tab

[barren moss]

Please tell me the 1 point per parsteel is a joke.

[ornate geyser]

It's obviously a sink for the 60B ish accidentally given out in Red Alert.

But they need to show what the assignment token can earn.

[somber vault]

joke

[earnest river]

i feel ur pain xD

[west eagle]

Check recruit tab and laugh

[formal birch]

ye its a trap tyhe need takou out partteel from circleling 😄 reward is good but not awesome 😄

so ye i ll keep my steel for better use

[ornate geyser]

Good grief. 60B steel for one recruit pull? Yeah I'm skipping, hahaha.

[formal birch]

since there is not other materials like minerals etc where you can spend that amounts in real base improvement, they want to donate it to ally

[tawdry seal]

🤔Someone at scopley is day drinking again. 🤣 these numbers are well stupid 🙄 not participating. Even if I had that much to spend. I do not have that many things to spend it on as my mats are short from the battle pass events.

[gentle cobalt]

why we got lvl51+ event

[drowsy wyvern]

https://tenor.com/view/crack-army-of-thieves-go-begin-commence-gif-23811533

[timber shadow]

Is Scopely using common core math again?! 🤔

[pallid sphinx]

7 BILLION Parsteel? Really?

[karmic vault]

New math

[peak cradle]

57+

[formal birch]

for lvl 44 is 88bil.... it cover you full 44 and more then half 45 partsteel spending.

[gray ravine]

Seriously scopely? Even if I had the steel to spare, I don't have enough things to spend it on. What a joke

[formal birch]

some lover 36 lvl reports 7 bil ? ...it cover you from 36 to 39 easy

[wraith parcel]

This makes no sense at all and it patently dumb.

[drowsy wyvern]

You can donate it to your alliance , but the numbers are still absurd.

[inner cave]

39 is 14.2 bil

[tired cliff]

🤦🏼‍♂️

[tight zealot]

Do scopely honestly think at 45 that it's possible to even spend 122b Par easily 😂 crazy scoring again. How long until they fix it?

[inner cave]

Not an event I’m excited about, unless they change the points

[formal birch]

yes eacly you an donate to ally... but.. then you sunk steel for couple of levels 😄

[fading tiger]

Hell of a way to con people into spending all the mats post an arc end.

10/10

[abstract gate]

One Word!!! INSANE !!!!!

[pale path]

And all for a single officer chest

[full gulch]

Insane. Just stupid.

[abstract gate]

Revolutionary idea. Don’t do the event if you don’t like it

[pale path]

Idk why I sped up my ops for this, I don't even have enough parsteel for this

[hearty island]

The assignment tokens are probably so that you have an additional pseudo currency for your collection

[formal birch]

rewards are smilar to scrap 1x mayflover

[inner cave]

24 mil dil for me

[tardy ether]

So if I complete the sms I earn enough currency to do 1 recruit…sign me up!

[gray ravine]

Even if I had the steel, I don't know what I'm buying. What are the assignment tokens used for? I don't have a clue if it's worth it or not. Typical scopely not giving out information. Screw this game

[autumn swift]

Total 💩💩💩💩💩💩

[inner cave]

Officer recuit tabs

[desert laurel]

Check your recruit section for where to spend your tokens

[pale path]

Scopley is really stingy on giving shards

[tardy ether]

You spend them in the recruit tab

[fading tiger]

For the content developer, I'm dead serious, CALL IT if you think these numbers are "acceptable".

You need HELP.

[pearl tinsel]

Every time I think wow this guy I work with is really bad at his job. I just launch this game and boom they seem good

[ornate geyser]

Not for me they're not. Not even close.

[bronze bloom]

Scopley, that can't be surpassed in incompetence! After a spend event, the... I spent 130B of steel and now again?

[faint fractal]

If you ragequit, please drop your coordinates so i can loot the steel for the event

[inner cave]

Think he’s talking about uc wise

[astral forum]

Its like last night ship SLB

[pearl tinsel]

In 4 short days you'll have raided it

[formal birch]

yes UC and a bit more rare

[inner cave]

30/40 mil dil on rewards

[brave crescent]

yea with no odds nothing. how many you get from 1 pull. but its irrelevant. its noth worth

[formal birch]

ye of coyres e that 800kk dil is good but too but minerals are more worht 😄 dil you can raid 😄

[desert laurel]

It is if you're one of the many people missing one harrison shard

[urban lance]

one of my teammates made it through and got 7 shards in the pack

[odd knoll]

https://tenor.com/view/ew-no-michael-scott-steve-carrell-gif-14491970

[tender pumice]

You mean these odds?

[pulsar fossil]

I need to spend 4 billion+ parsteel in 3 days!?! WTH? This is a mistake right?

[jaunty aspen]

Lol someone been smoking something funny. Should also ask what they smoking as i may feel happy afterwards

[hearty island]

So we agree that the rewards are crap? Certainly not worth 250 B steel - I guess I sit this one out

[outer hemlock]

oh they want me to spend 252 billion it's nuts

[gilded osprey]

50.5b here 🙂

[vagrant pumice]

this event... this event right here... this is why we all you $coply

[cold hedge]

it is a lot of steel for what kind of reward

[copper flicker]

88.8B here, guess I won't finish the event

[astral forum]

I guess nobody will

[brittle folio]

the steel isnt the problem but you need mats too 🙈

[astral forum]

Except whales

[copper flicker]

oh a few will, those that do nothing but raid day after day week after week month after month, and the heavy spenders

[hearty island]

I could but there is no reasonable return.

[outer hemlock]

and honestly anything that would cost that amount of steel is tied to massive quantities of G4 which I don't have so not gonna happen

[astral forum]

And speedups

[reef jasper]

At Ops 33 I have to spend 4.34 billion steel for the SMS. I'd have to max every building I have left and jump to ops 34 because I'd run out of buildings. The milestones aren't reasonable. Could go raid and throw everything into alliance contributions but then I'd have no steel for anything else. Not going to do the event because there's no feasible way for me to do it, nevermind the cost of lat for speedups and I have no materials because i spent them all competing for Mariner event which just ended

[fossil tinsel]

252bil Scopely can go pound sand

[pulsar fossil]

Rewards suck anyway, not worth spending all that parsteel

[dapper merlin]

🤣

[jaunty aspen]

Or donate it to the alliance that help

[weary niche]

damned idiots and their messed up scoring mechanics for events

[copper flicker]

not to mention there were spend 3* and 4* events, so if you did some upgrades on the station to score in those events, well, the steel went with it

[lilac pumice]

7.22Bil!? The most Ive ever had at one point in time is 1.8B! Even if I cashed in all my tokens, somehow got enough speedups to be able to spend everything I have, Id still be 4.5B short! Now after calculated my building costs... If I upgraded EVERY SINGLE BUILDING I have after I just hit lvl36, I would still only get to the first milestone! This is the kind of crap that makes people want to quit the game...

[weary niche]

its more common for events to be messed up than for them to be correct these days, no QA

[tulip stump]

im ops 38 i would have to spend 10 Billion par steel to finish. I have never had more than 4 ever till this point

this is just silly

[bronze bloom]

Scopley, that can't be surpassed in incompetence! After a spend event, the... I spent 130B of steel and now again? @pseudo rune

[abstract gate]

That's exactly my situation, and I think I'm in good company

[copper flicker]

https://tenor.com/view/circus-circus-show-clown-the-circus-gif-5269892

[spring comet]

@prime flax i have to ask do u guys actually go out of your way to make events that are just stupid, these numbers are stupidly insane and show no thought process behind them or scaling rewards for the required amounts.

[restive lance]

It's not April 1st again is it? Scopley seem to think so

[waxen spoke]

At lvl 33 I have to spend 4.34b par

[shadow trail]

You’re completely out of your mind. They are absurd goals 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️

[barren moss]

Everytime man.

I'd post my other one but they pull it with the quickness

[muted robin]

This would require i spend almost all my parsteel. And i just got to ops 39. No thank you. Ill grow at my pace not ScoPays pace. Totally absurd event!

[outer glade]

I dunno, 57bil steel well spent for me

[muted robin]

Bwahahaha thats awful

[cold horizon]

Why does scopely keep failing? This ridiculous event proves they dont play the game themselves

[viral sail]

Good officers, but not worth the cost

[spring comet]

as per usual rewards are terrible and the devs just dont care

[hidden peak]

Whahaha this parsteel event is insane 😂

[cursive sonnet]

Milestones should be 1/10 of the amounts

[spring comet]

LOL a timeout really

[cold crest]

Is this a joke

[spring comet]

no its not

[muted robin]

At least theyre not asking u to spend 30 billion

Hahaha

Cried in my coffee

[cursive sonnet]

At level 41 I’d take that, but not the nearly 60 billion they want

[distant ravine]

Scopley, April fools Day was on the first.

[muted robin]

Not doing it. Everyone should refuse.

[winter quarry]

Can anyone do math over there?😂😂😂😂

[pseudo spear]

I couldn’t spend that much if I wanted to.

[outer glade]

Donate works but not worth it

[timid plinth]

They got a lot of nerve doing this right after a spend/gain power event.

[spring comet]

lvl 44 is 144 billion and lvl 41 is 56 billion

[distant ravine]

Ops 41 is 57 Billion

[old dagger]

This event needs to be 1% the cost it's showing.

[chrome sparrow]

Did they expect us to spend 1000 bucks on this ?

[outer glade]

Yeah that’s what I spent 😂

[pseudo spear]

Yes lets all donate our Par to Scopely

[distant ravine]

I would if I could but until the refinery starts giving out 4* uncommon..........

[barren moss]

252b par for 8 shards

[outer glade]

I upgraded 2 docks and donated the rest

[inner ermine]

https://prnt.sc/3JhGsVP8pPIc it gets worse

[spring comet]

a couple mill dilthium and a bad recruit pull just isnt worth it

[supple rain]

Someone at scopely lost his mind

[outer glade]

SomeONE???

[fast comet]

with ops 46

[vital drum]

Oh I'm glad it's not just me who thinks THIS EVENT SUCKS

[muted robin]

Yep its scaling up with ops but too much for every single ops

[agile shard]

Dear god

[vagrant blade]

It s clearly a joke

[muted robin]

Everyones pissed. Lmao

[agile shard]

@vagrant blade what ops are you?!

[muted robin]

Im in a power alliance and everyones upset. Even the whales.

[vagrant blade]

[odd knoll]

I think this is Scopely’s way of letting us know they’re doing another Ferenghi arc next.

[dull crane]

More trash can events

[fading tiger]

Kick your crack habit devs! Help does exist!

[chilly venture]

I spent 10s of billions par upgrading my station for last two days slb 🤷‍♂️

[nocturne shadow]

https://tenor.com/view/intervention-hangover-the-hangover-zach-galifianakis-this-is-an-intervention-gif-4923623

[abstract gate]

Worth 7 rares and 1 epic shard

[fast comet]

to be fair "Spending Parsteel" and get materials is awesome!!!!
only the conversion rate is extremely bad!

[spring comet]

we all spent a lot last 2 days

[copper flicker]

same deal for the spend 3* and 4* events upgrading various station modules, my steel went poof

[serene forum]

56B ti finish event, hell no

[flat furnace]

252bn is stupid

[distant ravine]

What level?

[dull crane]

Bad is far to gentle of a word in this case

[flat furnace]

Ops 49

[serene forum]

That's 1/3 of my stash

[native geode]

But what are tge assigned tokens April 22 for ??? Nothing been said

[hearty cairn]

I hope the milestone numbers are a mistake.

[fast comet]

you get 1x recruit ... ONE!!!!

[dull crane]

If the grind doesn’t burn you out the devs will

[agile shard]

The math for the event has to be off. They’re crazy but not this crazy. Someone has to have screwed up.

[cyan kettle]

but... but.. .but... you can buy a pack for 1200 of those tokens

[spark zealot]

still only 10 pulls 😄

[fading tiger]

Delete my post all you want. Dosnt change the fact that this is a bunch of BS.

[opal cave]

@pseudo rune can you actually confirm Scopely didn't make a typo here? 🤣

[carmine lily]

Not the first time scopely has had 2 massive material spend events in a row

[opal cave]

or @prime flax for that matter

[carmine lily]

Just seems like someone misplaced a decimal point

[indigo totem]

agreed it's gotta be a type

typo

see, it happens

[old dagger]

How about an announcement telling us this is an error and will be corrected shortly.

[tender pumice]

Well they screwed up the ultra recruit scoring so hopefully that's what they've done here and their not serious

[remote sky]

He already did

[vital carbon]

wow wtf

[opal cave]

oh wow, missed that, so thanks for linking back on it

but still

i'm amazed..

[abstract gate]

What this is intended?

[vital carbon]

intended to make people quit lol

[worn trail]

so is scopely going to be handing out billions over the next day to cover the expenses???

[olive birch]

hoping they adjust the milestones , because the rewards are just not worth it. tbh kinda ridiculous

[abstract gate]

They really meant to launch these event after the last two days leaderboard ones?

This is 1000th times worse than if it was a mistake

[glacial mauve]

I already submitted an angry support ticket

[carmine lily]

Guaranteed official response will be “just skip the event”

[lime fern]

1 point per? Has to be a mistake, right? No way I can complete the event, let alone the SLB

[keen ledge]

Hey guys - appreciate all the feedback here. Please keep it coming - including what you think "reasonable" would look like. Just keep it within the rules. Thanks!

[abstract gate]

Where are the silver trophies?

[ancient meadow]

I’m suppose to spend 7.22 B para st a level 35 f2p player. Yet after months of saving I only own 2.7B liquid para. I probably could spend some tokens but I only have 1.2B saved there. Hard hard pass on this SMS

[faint fractal]

Lvl39 1 or 2 bn MAX is reasonable

[glacial mauve]

Reasonable would be better SLB brackets

[lament obsidian]

This is what 10 Billion parsteel got me

[remote sky]

In your ingame shop for real money

[opal cave]

@keen ledge : if they want to have it 'difficult' then a factor 10 lower would be already tough to get

[faint fractal]

Just 1steel = 10 points

[abstract gate]

Literally 1/3 of the milestone. I'm an OPS 35 and I need to spend over 7 BILLION parasteel? This is poorly tiered.

[opal cave]

which is per player, around 40-60% of their total parsteel resources

[astral forum]

100

[copper flicker]

https://tenor.com/view/call-center-hold-on-hold-the-line-wait-honest-gif-14390399

[tranquil swan]

That looks like the black power ranger

[opal cave]

And if there were any parsteel sinks to lose your parsteel in, but those are (very?) limited too

[abstract gate]

For real that's the only place? Scopely I can't believe you've done this

[muted estuary]

Anyone know what the assignment currency is on this????

[neat brook]

https://tenor.com/view/hang-first-time-smiles-gif-14991372

I am ops35 and expected to compete against ops36+ who have way more parsteel to spend

[weary niche]

its used for new recruit pack

[static wigeon]

Recruitment pull

[remote sky]

Silver = real money, gold = through the other SMS event

[weary niche]

how to destroy community good will in 30 minutes

[shrewd knot]

35 vs a 37 who already spent 20 b. Haha this isn't even worth the time. 1/10th might be worth it.

[cunning atlas]

Divided by 10 at the VERY LEAST

[abstract gate]

Ty

[lime fern]

Right, should be 100 per, but 10 would at least be reasonable

[abstract gate]

Omg ... someone was drinking on the job for sure at scopely lol

[rustic blade]

Rather doing some highly illegal drugs- with pure alcohol you dont go that nuts 🤣

[abstract gate]

Make it 1 parsteel for 100 points and it will be reasonable, it could have been 1 to 10 if it where not following the recruit mariner events, that already drained most of our resources

[desert dirge]

https://y.yarn.co/bb237e3e-1f27-443b-a4a2-3baad52e854f_text.gif

[olive birch]

yeah, i am not gonna bother, with this event, i think someone is just kidding around. this cant be serious

[errant gulch]

Paygamer event🤮

[olive birch]

we got whales in our alliances who are laughing

[pseudo ibex]

Lol is April fool still going on?

[mellow zodiac]

Ummm Scopley, you want me to spend 2billion parsteel at ops31?

If i upgrade/research everything it doesnt even come close.

Literally impossible (unless I donate my entire stockpile to the alliance)

Did you make a mistake? I wont even try as it is.

EDIT: I cant even make the first milestone 😂

[olive birch]

yeah, must be april fool joke, i dont think they are seriously expecting anyone to actually do it.

[loud portal]

62.4b pars to spend while r&d costs 2.4b. Scopely wake up

[native geode]

What do we need thst amount if dilithium fir ?? What are they suggesting next ??

[olive birch]

its called a station event, but if you actually wanted to spend that amount of parsteel on upgrading your station, how many ops levels would you increase ?

[copper flicker]

the recent spend 3* 4* events have burned out chances of doing big upgrades on the station, they really expect players to donate their entire stock of steel as alliance contribution? ugh

[rare verge]

Scopely are so far out of touch with players

[copper flicker]

guess the only way some can get it done is if the whale alliance have their top level 50 plus players open up their stations to have their own guys raid it of steel, for 3 days non stop

[cursive axle]

1.4B would be much more reasonable at ops 39 than 14B for a whopping 5 officer shards

[fading tiger]

100pts/steel. No less. No negotiation.

Also, pass the message along to start using this thing:

[vague tusk]

Sure it’s been mentioned but best part of 2 billion Parsteel at lvl 31 ops is huge. I have that much but don’t have enough items to spend upon. As for being in the same leaderboard as people who 34 ops is just impossible.

[stoic cedar]

Real easy events today, spend 7B parsteel- not doing it, kill 500 level 40 hostiles-I don’t even know where to find that many, plus have to repair about 20 times so not doing it. Already finished mining Latinum so all done.

[cursive mauve]

Divide requirements by 10 and increase the payout with a 0 at the end. 100 unc gas is nothing. Pay out 1000 unc gas and its a nice goal.

[fading tiger]

And also to use this thing: 🧠

If it's a mistake, that's one thing, but the line between intentional and incompetence is getting VERY blurry.

Actually it's long since been blurred... but I'm being nice.

[fluid tapir]

I would say about a third of the current total would be reasonable for the awards being offered.

[jaunty aspen]

See if you can score by contributing to alliance

[worn trail]

you can

[vagrant pumice]

are you a scopely agent? 1/10th. For the pittance of officers we get from the recruit pack... Any more than 1/10th the current scoring is straight up theft

[fading tiger]

You can. Dosnt change the fact that that numbers are insane

[olive birch]

it should be named alliance contribution event

[brave chasm]

For the rewards? 100 points per steel spent, people who want to go crazy can in the SLB. It’s only 8 officer shards and some unc gas

[dire pollen]

lvl32 ... 1,95B parstell Oo

[hallow ember]

LOL. I'd have to contribute a bit over 1000 times to max the event with the alliance route.

[abstract gate]

Use the sliders

[bronze bloom]

This is only the last MS at ops 46

[hallow ember]

I forgot that they added the sliders

[vagrant pumice]

spend 864m parsteel at level 29? lol wut i'm not doing the event. period.... Spend 86.4m? You have my attention!

[fluid tapir]

No not at all but they would never agree to a tenth. Someone said a half already, I am trying to be reasonable

[warm jay]

A un moment faut pas vous demander pourquoi tout le monde se barre du jeu...
Des packs hors de prix...
Des évents d'une difficulté ahurissante pour 3 trucs de ....
Une lenteur incroyable du jeu...
Des bâtiments qui ne servent à rien...
Des limitations ridicules ...
C'est pour ça que les gens arrêtent de jouer
Rien que vos packs ils seraient équilibré mais non
A demi tarif vous en vendiez le double

[dull pagoda]

It’s not the par, it’s the mats needed to use the par

[vagrant pumice]

alliance contribution. you need no mats

[dull pagoda]

Then you’re trying to wipe 300 bil par from me and I get nothing

[abstract gate]

Then don’t do it

[vagrant pumice]

First time with $copley?

[remote ferry]

Hey thanks for the reminder that the Treasury event ends on the 28th when it actually ended several days ago. Top notch Scopely!

[bronze bloom]

https://tenor.com/view/rhino-pooping-enormous-gross-shit-gif-5595661

@scopley, u need a complete change of all staffs!!!! Your events are…….

[dull pagoda]

Well I can’t do it, so I guess I won’t lol

[neat matrix]

122b is too high for ops 45. You realise how long it takes you to pay out that much to us via events right?

[manic plinth]

Smh this event is ridiculous. I have not been in the bracket that gets billion para tokens so idk how they expect me to spend 10Billion para. Smh, and the spend event for the officer tapped me for upgrading so yeah not going to happen. The rewards don't seem worth it either to just waste the para when I could wait for when I can upgrade things I need

[fast comet]

reasonable compared to the materials would be 1/3

[wind fog]

I don’t even have that much par so it seems like a ridiculous event.

[harsh flicker]

At level 30 it says I need to spend 864M if you take into consideration all the event rewards that I can get today that would allow me to generate parasteel that comes to a little over 100M so for a 3 day event 150M to 200M at my level would be a bit more accurate, Especially since my only method of spending at this time is Alliance donations which means I'm basically throwing away these materials.

[bronze bloom]

I have fear with scopley for the next arcs…

[fathom tide]

@keen ledge @pseudo rune @desert laurel @prime flax If the intent is to manage the economy by reducing the overall steel available. Don't change the requirements, just fix the reward so that its worth doing the event.

[fair sky]

170B for ops47 🤣🤣 where should end up? At OPs 49 within three days? Ridiculous 🤣🤣

[hallow ember]

I think half is still a bit excessive. The gas rewards are not terrible for level, but the spend at these amounts of Para is probably 4-6 months of savings for a f2p player which is a hard ask. A 1/4 rate is much more tolerable. @keen ledge

[fast comet]

1/3 of the par is reasonable. but than you should still increase a bit the amount of materials

[abstract gate]

Your buildings are that cheap? I’m On my way!

[fair sky]

Come over 👍

[upbeat abyss]

60B for lvl 41 won't, i could see 6B or even 12B, guess i get a couple days break

[abstract gate]

Can you spot me 10k rare ore please

Be right there after

[fair sky]

Shipyard 47 is 18.2B parsteel

OK< find me a way to spend the 85 for my level

I'll wait

85 million

[abstract gate]

No one said you need to complete each and every event

[fathom tide]

@echo arrow spend it on alliance

[echo arrow]

Sure Honey, how. We are rank 22, there isnt an option lol

[pearl tinsel]

It should always be possible

[rocky hill]

Oh noes. Not contibute to the good of the alliance. Heaven forbid... 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[distant ravine]

To be fair, that's about 6 weeks worth of refinery pulls 😛

[abstract gate]

Says who?

[fast comet]

joking? this is just an SMS and no leader board

[abstract gate]

We get plenty of events hard if not impossible to complete f2p

[hexed needle]

1/4 of my parasteel for a recruit chest…

[fair sky]

True, so ten kinda shipyard buildings to finish the event?

[hexed needle]

70B…

[dull pagoda]

So because there isn’t enough mats given out and we accumulate par. That means it’s our fault we have too much par

[bronze bloom]

I spent 130B at last mariner event… I have 20B left and 140B to do….

[olive birch]

I think this event was created to lower the amount of parsteel on each server, but the cost to reward ratio is way off.

[bronze bloom]

Scopley is going more and more and more incompetent!!!!!

[abstract gate]

Very much agreed. Easy solution. Don’t fall for it 🙂

[white hinge]

Just because it was intended does not mean its a joke event with joke milestones and rewards. Stop shilling so hard.

[rocky hill]

88.8bil here... i will just upgrade as many generators and warehouses as i can and then decide if i want to conrubute the rest of day 3

[distant ravine]

I have the parasteel, only because they are not giving out uncommon Res.

[abstract gate]

Oh I’m terribly sorry I just gave some information. Your insult makes me so sad now

[echo arrow]

I have way too much parsteel and this event doesnt help me spend it.

[hexed needle]

If you aren’t on a alliance level where you can donate parasteel, this event may be impossible

[olive birch]

oh i have no intention of doing this event, most of my comrades arent gonna do it either.

[abstract gate]

Exactly

Pretty easy really

We have an event

[hallow ember]

@keen ledge This is actually pretty solid feedback for you too.

[pearl tinsel]

They clearly put the decimal inthe wrong spot

[fair sky]

Yeah, don't let Scopely trick us

[abstract gate]

It costs time and / or resources and / or money. And it’s worth it, TO YOU, or it isn’t.

[keen ledge]

Thank you!

[pearl tinsel]

Hahaha what a joke a $400 event just admit you made a mistake and move on

[abstract gate]

I didn’t make a mistake? It’s not my event

[pearl tinsel]

Sorry scopley should admit the mistake

[echo arrow]

I read it wrong, lol. It's 865m. Oh boy, what a colossal screw up.

[forest gulch]

The best way to show our discontent is to ignore the event.

[abstract gate]

Yesssss

You win

(Not sarcasm)

[pearl tinsel]

I mean you can buy the pack for $100 with exponentially more dodads

[harsh flicker]

If that is the case then the ones that came up with this event need to have their qualifications rechecked because they are not doing their jobs right.

[main spindle]

I need 14 billion par to do this event as a lv 39 player that is a lot of par for me im unable even with my par tokens to complete it

[tender pumice]

i read that as "have their qualifications rednecked" 😅😅

[abstract gate]

Hey I agree. The event sucks. But we get an event hard / impossible to complete f2p regularly. Yet we’re all still here

[swift widget]

https://tenor.com/view/angry-anger-pixar-inside-out-aaah-gif-5628546

[olive birch]

well the solution is to lower the milestone to 1/4 what it is now, or to give a reward that is tempting enough that people will actually burn their parsteel.

[swift widget]

Well it’s something new to complaint and chat about, until the next time.

[abstract gate]

It’s also an opportunity for players heavy in Parsteel to swap@it@out for dil and gas.

[inner cave]

Resonable would be 10 point per on the sms slb I would adjust to 2 or 5

[pearl tinsel]

It's only 4 station packs!

[olive birch]

not a good trade ratio

[inner ermine]

i neen 1 trillion par to go to 48 lol no thanks

[inner cave]

10 point per par on the sms. Slb I would say 2 or 5 points

[olive birch]

i can afford it, but as an f2p player, i need to judge the value to cost ratio

[main spindle]

@abstract gate the slb are always the impossible events the f2p community rely on the SMS events to get anywhere in the game so making it impossible to complete is insane

[jade sequoia]

It’s clearly just an event for scopely to remove some of the resources saved in tokens from the game.

[olive birch]

and the rewards just arent that valuable... gimme reasonable amount of g4 uc or rare and i might think about it.

[main spindle]

@pearl tinsel not everyone can spend $400 on a game

[quartz linden]

HELLO SCOPELY YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS ABOUT WANTING US TO SPEND 7.22 BIL IN PARA.

[inner cave]

That or reduce the sms milestones in 1/2

[proven bluff]

Isn’t it great when Scopley trolls its players like this

[abstract gate]

Just the last arc we had Cerritos events every Wednesday, not to mention their upgrade events, and 18 ticketed events. All SMS. This just off the top of my head. All impossible to do f2p. What’s your point exactly?

[weary niche]

no its not, because if it was they'd incentise players to do so, 1 recruit pack isnt going to make people do that

[inner ermine]

i can even raid 170billion lol my sever is broke i seen a lvl 50 mining parsteel in deepspact lol

[tender pumice]

i dont even have £400 to spend of stuff i actually need IRL never mind on a game 🙈

[abstract gate]

i agree 10 points for the SMS is doable...for the SLB doesnt matter because we will be all in the same shoes

[quartz linden]

We have had power gain events, and people have spent their para, or a lot of it!

[jade sequoia]

I never said it was well planned…

[abstract gate]

Oh and no need to tell HELLO

[rancid juniper]

question is: what can we get for the assignment tokens. maybe a enterprise d 😉

[quartz linden]

I was being somewhat rhetorical~

[vagrant pumice]

a horrible recruit pack, with no chance at full pulls.

[molten cloak]

Will take 2/3rd of my par for a chunk of gas and a chance at Harrison. Personally don’t think it is that unreasonable an event

[proven bluff]

@prime flax is this going to be one of those deals where you change the event scoring halfway through and tell people who already played it to pound sand?

[wild lagoon]

Hmmmmmmm? Did you say chance at Harrison?

[pearl tinsel]

Lol I know it was sarcasm

[faint fractal]

Sometimes i wonder if eu servers are the beta servers for us

[abstract gate]

I was only replying to the part that somewhat wasn’t

[vagrant pumice]

yes yes you posted that 10+ times already... we are aware that it was "intended" that doesn't make it good, or right, or uncorrupted.

[abstract gate]

So did the question. Your point?

[main spindle]

@abstract gate yes there were events that were impossible to complete if u didn't have the ship but all the other SMS events were manageable during the arc with a little grinding

[molten cloak]

It’s just swapping the red alarm par mistake for uc and some officer shard

[nimble pike]

I guess all that par they gave us was meant for this CoW. Nobody has the par to complete event.

[abstract gate]

How about the 18 event tickets you didn’t get a ticket for?

Either way besides the point

[devout holly]

The REAL question is when will Home Depot get my order ready from 8:30 this morning so I can be productive today?

[vagrant pumice]

they gave out 9 tickets in the BP. No one ever does ALL the ticketed events unless there is a uncommon ticket SLB

[wild lagoon]

So is there Harrison shards cuz I need one to unlock

[nimble pike]

The last 3 or 4 ticketed events I did not get a single event ticket.

[wild lagoon]

😂

[vagrant pumice]

as a F2P player I was actually really happy with the amount of tickets we got this month.

[swift lotus]

Wow, the event tiers for the spending parsteel events look a little inflated

[abstract gate]

Yes you did

[swift lotus]

I'm level 41 and I need to spend 58B parsteel...

[abstract gate]

You got one set of tickets for every day they ran

Like always ever since every arc

[inner ermine]

https://prnt.sc/TEv6JB6JKC38

[swift lotus]

At 1-3B/building... that's literally going to 42

[inner ermine]

no time to use them lol

[abstract gate]

If you want to spend more than one set per day, you can, but you’ll miss out some days

Guess what

[rancid juniper]

At lvl 49 i need to spend 252 B parsteel

[plucky wind]

Another insanely stupid event by scopley.
Spend all your steel, so you have to buy packs for the lucrative power slb next arc 😂

No thanks, I’ll use Cerritos refinery

[abstract gate]

That’s what tickets are for!

[vagrant pumice]

people got too used to them being in gift boxes each time and didn't realize that y'all moved them to BP rewards w/o saying anything.

[final prism]

What's the new theme after Lower Decks, Looney Tunes?

[main spindle]

I had no problem with my ticket events so there were some i couldn't do because I don't buy the extra tickets but i was able to do 1 ticket event per day when the events were up @abstract gate

[mellow zodiac]

Any chance of a ‘Hide’ button for impossible events please??

[abstract gate]

So can these rocket scientists explain why we’d even have tickets if we were meant to do them all?

[nimble pike]

Yes at least 10 so you can at least do one ticketed event

[steep heart]

my last building at 39 just cost me 1.2bil.... just need to spend another 17bil now...

[abstract gate]

Dude, the point is we get DOZENS of SMS events you cannot complete f2p. Stop arguing a false point

[abstract gate]

Indeed. We get one set per day they run. Always have

[gritty mirage]

Think someone need to @abstract gate out and give him a drink… he’s losing it..

[supple pond]

57b steel spent? No way that's possible

[devout holly]

better get to donating to your alliance 🤣 they will thank you and dont forget to use the sliders

[abstract gate]

Not losing it but I’ll take the drink tyvm

I’m masochistic though, evidently

[vagrant pumice]

stick with me on this one... but ticketed events actually have good rewards for the amount you spend to finish them... todays SMS does not have good rewards... not even good rewards if it was 1/2 or 1/3 the cost.

1/4 might be considered decent... but i would lean closer to 1/5

[supple pond]

I have 57b if I dip into tokens, but no way I have stuff that costs a total of 57b

[abstract gate]

Moot point

[faint fractal]

Can we have a statement ? Will it be changed or not? @keen ledge

[abstract gate]

Every event is a trade off with more or less worth to someone individually

[tired ivy]

take a look at your officer recruit bar...

[nimble pike]

Donate to alliance? That's all you can do. No one has any materials after the bp is over.

[rose badge]

Our ops level 55 must spent 999 billions steal 🙈🤣😱

[abstract gate]

No

[keen ledge]

Afraid I don't know. We need to wait for @pseudo rune

[supple pond]

Yea, that is the only way to spend that much

[faint fractal]

Ty

[swift abyss]

Remember best way of communicating that it was BS event is to not complete it. NOT COMPLETE IT.

[nimble pike]

exactly @vagrant pumice

[faint fractal]

Collecting feedback might lead to a fix…

[supple pond]

Any spending I do in the next 3 days will be because I needed it, already written off this event

[swift abyss]

Same here I physically don't have 70b of para. 😂

[main spindle]

@swift abyss i couldn't complete it even if I wanted to its not possible for me

[viral sail]

I don't know why people are stressing over this event. The reward is 8 officer shards. Who cares? Enjoy the break.

[nimble pike]

Our alliance refuses to complete the event.

[steep heart]

Same for most... 19bil steel for a few mil dilly, 100 gas and 1 recruit pull... sod off

[abstract gate]

… but that wasn’t the point 😅 the feedback is valuable definitely, but comparing events in itself is moot. What’s the value of some rewards is very very personal. I mean some spend it all on useless avatars, etc.

[nimble pike]

@pseudo rune our alliance has refused to compete in this event.

[mellow zodiac]

Your answers are very antagonistic/defensive. I suggest you stick to the facts.
There were 9 ticket events, we were given 90 tickets. Enough to choose one for each ticket event.
Stop reacting/winding people up.

[abstract gate]

Can you reread and edit your comment and make a point 😅? I mean this is what I’m saying the entire time.

[main spindle]

@abstract gate hay some people like the avatars

[abstract gate]

Just said value was personal dude

[rancid juniper]

Thanks, now i ve seen it. Its a joke, isnt it!?

[nimble pike]

I did not get 90 tickets for 3 ticketed events in the BP

[final prism]

ppl are expressing how they value this event

[tired ivy]

hope so. other way I want even try it...

[novel willow]

LOL

[proven bluff]

I see that @prime flax ghosted. Sure sign that the devs know they have a real

https://tenor.com/view/dumpsterfire-flooding-fail-gif-13031064

[mellow zodiac]

Again with the antagonisation?!
Why so abrasive?

[novel willow]

why keep on it?

[main spindle]

@abstract gate i like the avartars but i go after the ones that are free with grinding the ones in the alb's are difficult to get

[static wigeon]

Smoothly done @proven bluff , no-one noticed it

[abstract gate]

You’ve lost me

[pseudo ibex]

Lol refuse to do the event or can’t do the event 😂

[keen ledge]

Cerebro was a loaner CM from another game.

[olive birch]

i think scopely should either make the requirements to complete event 1/4 what it is now, or increase the reward by 400%

[final prism]

I wonder if they too have 💩 storms like we have at that other game

[solid yarrow]

1/40 and 4,000%

[devout holly]

@minor roosttime to raid 🤣

[inner ermine]

they could have done this event with 10 tickets that will unlock any officer of your choosing per ticket I still have officers from 3 and a half years not even built lol, the may be ill spend the para

[olive birch]

while that would make my day, i dont think that is what scopely would call a balanced economy.

[haughty grotto]

You know, Scopely can offer up any event they choose, but the incongruity of the spend event is what has got everyone up in arms. It’s like going to a car dealer, who takes you to the line up of $30,000 cars, and one is a decked out SUV, one is a top notch pickup, one is a luxury sedan, and one is a tricycle. The tricycle tends to stand out as not belonging to the group it’s being presented in.

[snow ore]

I think that someone misplaced a decimal point somewhere for this event. Maybe 2 decimal points. That quantity is a huge ask.

Galaxy chat is blowing up on our server.

[west eagle]

It’s as intended🙈😂

[haughty grotto]

What gets me is they keep doing stuff like this, then being surprised that it causes an uproar. These guys are so far out of touch with their players, it boggles the mind.

[snow ore]

Unfortunately, I am not laughing this time.

[abstract gate]

Are they really surprised? Colour me pessimistic, but… 😂

[supple pond]

Ship has sailed on this event, do it or not. Hopefully next time it will be with more reasonable spend levels.

[tulip stump]

Have scopley respond?

[cunning wasp]

Working as intended

[pulsar cipher]

They let Amber Heard lose on the servers

[meager galleon]

Language 👀

[olive birch]

i am curious, do the devs have an account and play the game ? without cheating and as an f2p player (just to have an idea of the economy in the game)

[meager galleon]

I think the Devs do, not sure about the event people..

[olive birch]

ahhh... so seperate depts then

[gritty mirage]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/509688981051408394/968210499827273748/unknown.png - ok since a normal body function is supposed not allowed - re-edited - so Scopely intended this turd show?

[meager galleon]

And remember, the event team(s) are under product managers and are all there to spin money mostly

[leaden talon]

So how does a level 20 even get close to spending 100+ Million parsteel????? Guy in my alliance is freaking out.

[supple pond]

Channeling the opening battle from Avengers 2?

[abstract gate]

64b to complete……one way to empty me before next arc starts with the power increase events 😆😆

[meager galleon]

https://tenor.com/view/degage-punch-hulk-mad-marvel-gif-17278781

[supple pond]

Touche

[abstract gate]

Hm just wondering

We used to have events requiring you to increase two ops levels

Quite similar isn’t it

[gritty mirage]

Yep and that was a turd show also..

[edgy pivot]

Ya no...

[hallow ember]

In fairness, I hated the 2 ops thing too

Another hurry up to spend more event

[abstract gate]

How did you deal with it

[olive birch]

well i can understand wanting to make money, it isnt a charity after all.

but you gotta give people value for their money. this is kinda like asking ppl to trade in 2 tons of apples for 3 peanuts and a glass of tapwater.

[plucky ermine]

I would like to see physical parsteel 🙂

[gritty mirage]

Please if there’s another CM online pull @abstract gate before he antagonize the whole discord channel…

[abstract gate]

You’re getting upset over a game and I’m the problem 🤨

[fallen tendon]

I event couldn't reach the last phase of this event and I wouldn't waste my mats so senseless. Scopely make once more senseless events. Upgrade the buildings will not fill the first phase and blowing all my mats out of the window is just insane for one event 🤮😡

[swift abyss]

What, don't you keep yours in the shed? Probably burnt it all on the barbecue! 😂

[hallow ember]

As many people have said here (but no one likes to hear), you don't have to do every event. You CAN, but you dont have to.

[abstract gate]

Yep Tribbles. This is the way…

[gritty mirage]

As stated you can see he’s reply. He’s being antagonistic to all

[sweet flame]

spend 70 BILLION parasteel? even if i had that much I couldnt spend it in the next MONTH much less waste for an event with MYSTERY rewards

[meager galleon]

For every event that isn’t doable as it doesn’t reach most of the playerbase, I’d like a secondary event that engages me a bit and gives adequate reward for time spent 😍

Then I’d be happy to ignore the unreasonable one

[abstract gate]

You tag me but I can’t tag you. That’s indeed how a public forum is supposed to work. Come on dude. Take a chill pill.

[meager galleon]

Instead we have CoW that hasn’t been updated in an age

[olive birch]

well i am done with events in game, so am calling it a night and chatting with my alliance members on discord. sadly todays events were ... just blah

[frosty remnant]

Cannot believe that this SMS event requires (at ops49) 252billion Parsteel spent, in order to finish this event. Ridiculous amount IMO.

[abstract gate]

And just to reiterate. I think this event sucks. But it isn’t the end of the world either.

[meager galleon]

@graceful lynx ah, im@also 49 😍

[sweet flame]

even if i upgraded every building i had, uncommon resources aside, I wouldnt be able to spend 70b

[fading tiger]

F2P gets shafted enough as it is and has enough carrots dangled in front of our noses. This is insulting to say the least.

[gritty mirage]

You’ve lost the battle before it started.. you need the chill pill with also the drink to go with it..

[meager galleon]

How about draw a line under it and stop responding to one another

[abstract gate]

I’ll take the drink thank you very much 😘

[meager galleon]

You’re bickering about nonsense

[abstract gate]

Thanks for succinctly summarising my point 😅

[compact lance]

The rewards are in the officer recruit tab. As expected, they are as lame as the cost. All that steel for the chance, in my case, to earn one officer shard.

[gritty mirage]

@meager galleon I was bring to your attention an moderator who’s response where more antagonistic than helpful.. but if you want antagonist response I’ll gladly bring the 🎻

[frosty remnant]

Yeah I would need to buy an assortment of station, research or ship packs for the sake of materials, in order to be able to complete the sms, because of the 4* unc material cost to upgrade anything at ops49 is so costly.

[meager galleon]

You’re not excited for another one time use currency? And if you don’t do all the milestones you don’t event get a full pull for an SMS that is not really achievable for many?

[supple pond]

Who wouldn't be excited about that?

[warm chasm]

I totally can't even do this event 😂😭

Might as well be "donate your parsteel tokens" why even make me turn it into a building

[meager galleon]

The rewards don’t match the effort and spend required, it’s as though people didn’t realise there is also a material cost to go alongside Parsteel spend

And after a month of several spend auctions

[manic parrot]

3 lower decks officer shards and 5 random (albeit useful) officer shards does not equal 70B parsteel in worth. MAYBE if and only if we could choose the officer shards rather than have an RNG assign them.

[warm chasm]

Scopely right now
https://c.tenor.com/l8V6HU7a1rYAAAAM/bad-ass.gif

[keen stratus]

864M of parsteel at lvl 30 ? a joke ? I think I'm leaving that joke game...

[odd orchid]

If there's no other method of sourcing the assignment tokens, I'd like to see the SLB give perhaps 5 recruit pulls. The SMS (for my ops 39), maybe 500M to 1B would be reasonable for the 8 shards. If it's to encourage us to upgrade buildings, perhaps link it to station building power gain and not parsteel. This feels like a way to fix the extra rewards from last month (Red Alert?).

[rare verge]

I see the new event is going down well Scopely ☝️☝️🤣🤣

[warm chasm]

At least it's scoring correctly

[fading tiger]

Incompetence: new fragrance by Scopely. $1000 per bottle

[sweet flame]

70b parasteel is 3, 100 dollar packs, 300$ for 3 lower decks officer shards and 5 random officer shards, GFG scopely

[abstract gate]

Make chaos.

[meager galleon]

That’s if you got the materials along side that steel spend

[haughty grotto]

That’s the bottom line on the event. The parsteel needed to complete it is worth way more by any measure than the rewards for the event. By a factor of about 10. The event offering is an insult to the players’ intelligence.

[olive birch]

thats the only problem i have with the event, the rewards just arent worth the cost. and the margin is so far off, i need the hubble telescope to see it.

[novel otter]

Upgrade the station SMS is ridiculous for me as well. I would have to spend 4.34B of parsteel to make all milestones. At level 33 that would require something like upgrading 100 buildings! No idea what they were smoking at Scopely, but it certainly wasn't good for the brain! 😡😡

[haughty grotto]

Here’s the thing - the cost is even higher than what is apparent on the event, unless you complete it by donating all that parsteel to the alliance. If you try to do it by spending parsteel on buildings, you also have the associated materials that you also have to spend. But, most of us couldn’t possibly build that many buildings, because we just don’t have all the materials and parsteel needed, let alone the speedups to get through literally dozens of building upgrades.

[olive birch]

scopely misnamed the event, it should either be named (contribute to alliance event or burning your parsteel event)

[pine raft]

You're looking at this all wrong, people. This is the way SCOPELY has to show you that the packs are cheap! This pack is worth more than 570Bn parsteel! Thanks SCOPELY 💕💕💕💕

[carmine slate]

Hey guys, which event gave points based on ships built?
As far as I can recall current CoW is only for upgrading and FH as well or am I wrong?

[serene ridge]

Military supremacy

[gray ravine]

I'm guessing there's no response from scopely yet on the absurdity of the event?

[carmine slate]

I am past Military supremacy xD

[serene ridge]

Here's ya feed back stop taking the pics bet low levels have just ended there life right now

[haughty tapir]

We need to stop asking scopley how much worse they can get. They're taking it as a challenge.

[fierce flume]

Im lvl 35 competing with lvl 39. Those guys get 1B in tokens from battle pass per day...

[final prism]

Well, if they want to cut the tail, this is the perfect way. Several players are quitting or taking a long break over this event

[desert laurel]

Not per day, but yes, the brackets are a bit too large

[fierce flume]

Close enough

[wraith narwhal]

Do we get to know, when the next battlepass starts? May 3rd or May 10th?

[abstract gate]

10th

[wraith narwhal]

Thx mate 🙏 😊

[tender scroll]

Station event is same as military supremacy at ops 35 not worth it they need to fix both events. Military supremacy should have tiered points like all other events. Not just 40 plus gets 2 points.

[restive willow]

I see that mods are pretty busy deleting posts. How about you better communicate to Scopely how upset their playerbase finally is

[feral tartan]

Agree. I am not able to even start compete on it. Military Supremacy too.. 😉

[warped valve]

Looking forward to seeing how we can earn the billions of parsteel we need to spend for this event... don't see anything yet but it must be coming, right? ... right?

[meager galleon]

If you think we don’t, you are mistaken 😈

[fierce flume]

Nice scopeley

[distant ravine]

Announcement is out

It is an "heroic" event, I think it is a tier or 2 above that personally

[void phoenix]

adding heroic to title in future runs doesn't make the cost vs reward any less lame

[timber shadow]

"heroic" event? Roflmao 😂

Pretty poor attempt to save face 😈

[waxen spoke]

From eco

Commanders,

We've been getting a lot of feedback on the "Upgrade the Station! SMS" and want to provide everyone an update. We recognize many of you found this event to be more challenging to complete than previous events and appreciate the feedback as we plan future events.

This event was intended to be labeled as "Heroic" to indicate it would be more challenging than others to complete, which we'll better identify in the future. We'll be updating the title of the event and also providing a bundle to everyone this week as an apology for the confusion.

LLAPvulcan

NOT GOOD ENOUGH

[full umbra]

Heroic, I think they mean idiotic.

[fair sky]

That's just ridiculous

[timber shadow]

Reward vs cost is still 💩

[versed osprey]

they shouldnt even make a spent parsteel event this hard, i couldnt even make the second milestone, heroic or not

[hallow ember]

LOL. Heroic. That fixes it.

[pseudo rune]

That's great feedback as well. What rewards would you rather see for an event like this?

[versed osprey]

dont make such an event this hard at all

[odd knoll]

@pseudo rune the event was not “challenging”. Spending parsteel is easy. It was just absurd and idiotic to spend that much in rss for a pittance of a reward.

[hallow ember]

We'd like to see events that dont cost months of parasteel to finish

[distant ravine]

It's not just the steel, as anything other than alliance contributions means spending alot of other resources as well.witch means you won't have them for upcoming spend events in arcs.

@pseudo rune

[abstract gate]

So obviously heroic=pay to win

[floral trail]

Heroic? This event is just a cash grab for mediocre rewards

[versed osprey]

for a lvl 31 2B is way way too much

[rough dust]

Not getting it. The MILESTONES are egregious. It's possibly the single most difficult SMS ever! It will take me nearly a year to earn back 14b Parsteel as a F2P.

[glossy vault]

uh.. even for me this station event is difficult. ..for everyone.. it is difficult 😿

[pine raft]

1200Bn recruit tokens

[tulip stump]

@pseudo rune harder to complete that is tak8ng the mic at my level it is impossible to complete. It says 10bn to finish I have never had less than half that amount

[waxen spoke]

At lvl 33 the event is expecting me to spend 4.34b parsteel I will not have that at my level because I'm f2p and don't have a analgram

[versed osprey]

its almost impossible for my lvl

[young parcel]

Be a hero, spend an insane amount of resources for an insanely low amount of rewards. Be the hero Scopely shareholders deserve. I'm hoping that apology chest has 11B parsteel.

[floral trail]

Enjoy your 3 extra badgey shards lmao

[north vessel]

Lol scopely "dammit, we gave them too many resources last month, so now let's give them events that can only be feasibly completed if you donate it all to your alliance"

[inner cave]

@pseudo rune this is still a joke even for “herioc” event

[soft salmon]

I boikott this event

[versed osprey]

why would you even run an event like this

[soft salmon]

Thats heroic

[viscid sinew]

Hahahaha event hahahaha scopely hahahaha

[floral trail]

On the plus side at least it doesn't need Uncommon mats

[void phoenix]

rather than renaming the event, the better course of action would to be just never run it again

[hallow ember]

Yet . . .

[haughty tapir]

Oh look! We're all getting mbenga shards later in the week!

[viscid sinew]

Good i checked the reward chest before spending 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[abstract gate]

It does if you have no buildings that require only steel and Dilitium

[inner cave]

Heroic is still feasibly obtainable

[north vessel]

I think it's also too make the $Pack look like an awesome deal

[next summit]

Ah Scopely providing comedy weekly! You jokers!

[north vessel]

"sms provides 1 special recruit? but wait.... $100 gives me 12?!?! I got buy me some!"

[agile summit]

Am I missing something? There’s no way to spend parsteel other than on building that take days to complete.

[versed osprey]

alliance

[dapper halo]

@agile summit You can also donate to alliance

[versed osprey]

but its not worth it

[next summit]

Alliance Contribution

[agile summit]

That’s not an option for most alliances

I’ve been sitting on hundreds of millions of parsteel for months with nowhere to spend it

[naive meteor]

https://tenor.com/view/throw-throwing-it-away-mountain-top-adventures-games-gif-13764512

[old dagger]

Dear Scopely, labeling the event heroc does not make the event better and it certainly does not have heroic rewards.

[sour lotus]

Hoe does giving it a new name change anything?? Are you serious?

[olive birch]

how does changing the event name increase the value of the rewards ?

[crimson barn]

That's the payout for an "heroic SMS"? What is going to happen to the payouts on "normal SMSs"?

[olive birch]

lol , great minds

[lost abyss]

The only thing heroic about that event is believing the paltry amount of gas, dil, and a single poor officer pull pool was going to be worth 100 billion+ par to people.

[kindred salmon]

Might just be the worst event ever for spend v rewards... 48b .. I have it but its half my steel including tokens... Joke

[next summit]

They givith with one hand and taketh with the other!

[olive birch]

heroic cost to get standard rewards. interesting concept

[inner cave]

You should redo the points for the sms it’d completely unobtainable for some. I could do it myself but I won’t as I see this as a joke event and one I will never take part in to complete unless it is changed. (I’m usualy one that will do my best to do all sms events). The rewards DO NOT JUSTIFY THE COST.

[pseudo ibex]

Lol they try to cover their mistake by calling it something else

[agile summit]

I have the resources to burn for the event, but no way to spend them!

[inner cave]

Alliance contributions

[old dagger]

Yes, this is the least believable excuse yet.

[agile summit]

Incorrect. Only alliances below some level allow parsteel. Do they want us to bail on our alliances?

[versed osprey]

contribute to alliance!!

[meager galleon]

Incorrect, changes at different levels

[naive meteor]

https://tenor.com/view/no-way-dude-kyle-south-park-nah-not-happening-gif-21544756

[green geyser]

Well, maybe a hell of a lot more than a single pull from the Lower Deck Officer Recruit and meager rss tokens and a laughable amount of mats... The cost of anything at this point in the game isn't covered by those rewards at all, yet you want us to spend BILLIONS in partseel... It really is no wonder we haven't been getting surveys at the end of the arcs, they must have all been negative.

[novel otter]

Scopely, you really need to learn the difference between challenging and impossible! This event is impossible.

[agile summit]

Oh? Do you know what the breakpoint is? I haven’t been able to contribute parsteel for months

[still hare]

We have enough from your stupid changes to get our money. 👎

[inner cave]

Lvl up to next lvl then para comes back in

[agile summit]

Alliance level? I’ve been through several levels with no parsteel option

[inner cave]

It comes back in

[agile summit]

Currently at lvl 20

[pseudo rune]

How many pulls would you expect? Do you feel officers are enough for events like this or would you rather have different rewards?

[agile summit]

No parsteel option since at least 18

[meager galleon]

There is probably an info graphic somewhere. But they do change

This is my alliance now as an example, previous lvl was also steel

[abstract gate]

Labeling the event heroic does not solve the issue, the rewards are not aligned with the challenge it gives

[naive meteor]

Crazy..

[tacit holly]

100% kea black

i have to spend 14.5b steel to get 150 uncommon and 75 rare 3* gas and 1 officer pull

[green geyser]

How about at least a guaranteed officer pull. You're expecting players to spend an ungodly amount of parsteel.

[versed osprey]

its not even a challenge, its impossible for most people

[agile summit]

So weird. That almost makes this challenge worse. If you happen to randomly be the correct alliance level, great. If not, you’re out of luck completely.

[pseudo rune]

Having a few different conversations about this. I've been asking what rewards you'd like to see for milestones like these

[inner cave]

If you classing this as Heroic a lot more res/pulls for the cost.
14.2 bil at lvl 39. When your trying to save up for the push into 40’s

[vital carbon]

full pull of an epic officer

[small agate]

Quadruple the gas reward and the officer reward. At least. Mabye some rare directives

[pseudo rune]

Did you say this in the other chat as well? Sorry if I missed the name but this would be the second time I see this if it's someone different. Going back and checking now

[tacit holly]

yeah a lot more gas

[agile summit]

@pseudo rune I’d like to be able to spend parsteel if there’s an event for parsteel 🤦‍♂️

[solemn wharf]

Not more rewards: less parsteel! It is too much.

[versed osprey]

@pseudo rune just make the milestones achievable for everyone

[abstract gate]

Than there is another issue that is context based, given that these event cames right after the recruit mariner events, the requirements are impossible for most of us, so even with good rewards we can't complete it

[knotty niche]

@eco you join the wrong company at the wrong time. Scopley is now treating the players like a fool or idiot.

[prime hawk]

If the scoring was 10 points per parsteel spent, it'd be approaching a reasonable task. Still difficult: I'd manage it with 4 docks at lvl 41

[tacit holly]

I would have to go and buy 6 or 7 $100 packs to finish this event. What do you think the reward should be for spending that much money Eco?

[green geyser]

I didn't, but if not better rewards, I agree with MissU56, make the requirement less.

[pseudo rune]

I've seen 3 or 4 people say full unlock of an epic officer

[torpid light]

I don’t think it’s officers personally. They are nice but the greatest blockers to all progress - buildings, ships, research, is uncommons. Scopley need to get a better understanding of how much uncommons they give out, to then understand what people have to spend. They must know what ftp have vs players who do the odd pack. They need to design events around their player base, not what profit they can earn from mega spenders. The game needs normal people not just whales.

[next summit]

Honestly the rewards are poor for such a big outlay. You guys did a good arc then do this I don't understand why you keep shooting your selves in the foot, well I do but... Sigh. Ever heard of goodwill to your player base?
Lower targets, better officer pulls, more mats... But just make it accessible!

[tacit holly]

more uncommons for sure

[winter quarry]

And epic 4* at least a couple

[inner cave]

More than one pull at leas but the milestones/points are way out. 10 points for sms 2/5 for slb. Even 2/3 points would be feasible. Some players in the 40’s are saying it’s a full lvl of upgrading buildings for some @pseudo rune

[green geyser]

Let's put it this way, I won't be doing this event. Its not worth it. I have better things to spend that much parsteel on.

[winter quarry]

Or nothing 😂

[upbeat quiver]

Right no way I can spend 2 billion para... I don't think I can even build that much stuff without running out of UC mats

[distant ravine]

Given to buy enough uncommon resources to spend this much parasteel would cost about £3000.. full Enterprise E

[winter quarry]

I would run through about 75% of my tokens for nothing

[vital carbon]

If we are going to be given a challenge that 98% of people cant complete then the rewards need to be something super epic.

[naive meteor]

Like a free ship.

[worldly osprey]

Having all currency going to the right officers would be a reasonable expectation. In the pack called Below Deck Officers, there are 3 Below Deck Officer and 12 others - meaning most of the shards will not be for BD officers so the return is very poor.

[winter quarry]

Was there some reference in this event pricing of the Twitter purchase?😂 I mean 44 bil for almost nothing

[inner cave]

As someone else also said. Officers are the point. You need more UC (for me at 39 it gives about 200 uc and 30 rare with around 40 mil dil) not worth it

[remote sky]

Rare / epic Armada directives. Gives us the possibility to score better / complete the armada events and gives us additional payout through the armada chests.

[vital carbon]

An epic event store perhaps. lots of ship bp's, full pull epic shards, the list could go on

anything labeled epic.....

[solemn wharf]

A Kelvin. Then I‘m in. 😍

[errant escarp]

@pseudo rune I totally understand making the SLB Heroic, aka spend event, but don't put out an SMS that is not achievable and will bankrupt a significant number of players of RSS. This is an issue that content creators and players have discussed and asked to be addressed ad nauseam that SMS should be achievable by the entire player base.

[brave chasm]

At least with the swarm “heroic” there’s a normal one with a lesser reward

[silent cedar]

a level 14 player in my alliance needs to spend 42 million par to cap the solo event - there are not enough buildings available for them to spend that and not everyone has donation option...there is no way to even get to the first reward tier of 4.2 mil since the scaling is 100x more than it should be

[vital carbon]

@pseudo rune Did they do this just to break you in? lol

[pseudo rune]

Thanks for the for your time and the well thought out message

[pseudo rune]

Thanks handyfish, also glad to hear you're enjoying the Lower Decks arc. I loved the show personally

Not the full point of your message I know. I saw the feedback as well =]

[next summit]

You're not giving incentive for new players to stick with the game so off goes any future revenue you would get from them .. it's a bit short sighted to do an event that is not accessible to all.

[pseudo rune]

Just get's weird if I'm saying "thank you for the feedback" over and over in the same way

Then it sounds like I'm a robot

[pseudo rune]

Understood, thanks Stuart

[neon badge]

That's something a robot would say

[unkempt lava]

SCOPELY: YOU SUCK. NONE OF YOUR EMPLOYEES PLAYS THE GAME OR IT WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE THAT YOU ASKED ME TO SPEND 62 BILLION PARSTEEL RIGHT AFTER A MATERIAL SPENDING SLB AND A GAIN POWER SLB. I REALLY THOUGHT YOU ACCIDENTALLY PUT AN EXTRA 0 BUT NO, YOU JUST DON'T KNOW A THING ABOUT YOUR OWN GAME.

[pseudo rune]

First time hearing that one, thanks! I know everyone sees value differently so this is great to understand

[pseudo rune]

Crap.....

[winter quarry]

@pseudo rune https://youtu.be/Umc9ezAyJv0

[pseudo rune]

I love Blade Runner, I heard the new one is really good too

[novel otter]

I agree that 10 points per parsteel spent would make this a challenging event. Difficult but just about doable.

[simple prairie]

I can understand that you want and need to earn money. What I can't understand, however, is that you are increasingly upsetting us players with such pointless events. It was foreseeable that this event would only spark a well-deserved shitstorm in the end. Why do you annoy those who are supposed to bring you money? I could easily pay for the steel (OPS 33) because I raid a lot. But certainly not for a lousy box with 8 offi parts.

[olive birch]

full officer pull as well as an increase in g4 / uc & rare

[pseudo rune]

Would uncommon resources for an event like this be something other people desired?

[void pendant]

Scopely wants you to raid, it is simple

or mine parsteel for 3 days with all ships

[pseudo rune]

Got it, so maybe a tigher pool to the officers available?

[abstract gate]

Thats a lot of raiding for me even given the chance, i need to spend 252B

[olive birch]

something that justifies the high cost.

[still hare]

Scopeley wants our money, nothing else.

[distant ravine]

Swap the toeks for shards like the transporter patterns

[neon badge]

Aw man it won't let me do meet the fockers gif

[pseudo rune]

So better labeling for events? Just want to make sure I understand properly*

[remote ferry]

So if it's a heroic event, shouldn't the rewards be "heroic"?

[spice nimbus]

Just make the event able to be finished by the majority of the players instead of making the events for the minority of the players

[errant escarp]

Even with the Heroic Swarm event it may be hard, but you don't have to spend to complete it. It seems like event planners do not understand the difference between a hard event and a spend event.

[pseudo rune]

I don't believe so. But it's awesome I'm getting so much feedback and being able to chat with so many players

[full umbra]

The problem isn't that parsteel for me, but I have nowhere near 4* uncommon materials to do the upgrades to spend the 70bln steel, making it not heroic but impossible.

[versed osprey]

not labeling just make the milestones achievable for everyone

[tacit ruin]

I need to spend 68 billion par for this crap, the day your recruit mariner event ends? This is a joke 😂 An ops 28 needs to spend over half a billion par on this event.

[warm jay]

@pseudo rune we just want normal évent 1parsteel for 100 pts its more normal when i see the prices

[pseudo rune]

Adding it to the list of rewards the community would like to see

[odd knoll]

Lol, this event transcends "heroic". All of the other "heroic" events are manageable by almost all players. This one deserves a whole new label. Perhaps "Phyrric"?

[neon badge]

Apology chest is nice tho, I'm 1 shard short of mariner

[versed osprey]

you gonna get screwed over and not get mariner lol🤣

[distant ravine]

Honestly I can't think of anything that would make me drop 3k for one event.

And uncommon 4 * is so rare it's beyond a joke. Most days you get noting from the refinery ( I am ops 41) so having 3 or 4 spend UC events a month will just push people to quit and leave. I get they need to be hard, but have to be achievable as well. For this rewards half the spend and double the reward and it might be worth the while for some whales

[still hare]

In German it's named Heldenh instead of Helden. Mistake afterMistske

[abstract gate]

Likely to get Mbenga shards

[neon badge]

You're probably right

[remote ferry]

Uncommon mats are the largest bottleneck in this game.

[knotty niche]

@pseudo rune it's plain and simple this is payback for the high payout on red alarm in the last arc. They hired you to take all the heat as they treat the players like 💩.

[winged tulip]

Problems - no way you can spend 120b par unless you have lots of speedups and g4 ready to spend, unless you donate to alliance which for 120b par is about half an ops level delay. For some dil and 1 pull at a recruit pack. Meh.

[versed osprey]

yeah, i need 1700 uc 3* crystal to get my sally to tier 7

[abstract gate]

Give us a free extra scrapping queue

[frosty fjord]

if there would be a
special officer reward
Skin for ship that rare
or Equal shipparts so youre helped 33%
that event would make sence this reward never.

[versed osprey]

or give the abbility to speed it up

[remote ferry]

Try 8k unc gas for a t5 Enterprise

[tender pumice]

for me to complete this event i'd have to trade in 95% of my parsteel tokens for not even enough uncommon gas for a single building that i then wouldn't have the parsteel to build anyway 🤦‍♂️ completely pointless event

[supple pond]

Let us scrap hijacked ships

[errant escarp]

Better labeling yes, but also keep Heroic or significant spend events as SLBs where people can decide if they want to compete. SMS events should be achievable for all players. For example there is an SMS and an SLB for Upgrade the Station. Make the Upgrade the Station Heroic SMS achievable for all players. It can be hard, but still achievable without destroying the RSS of players. The Upgrade the Station SLB can then be focused as the significant spend event that people can decide if they want to burn their currency. The SLB could even have a minimum spend level to participate.

[nocturne kelp]

i can only smile about this. just imagine i need 20k UC Ore for a OPS Upgrade (one building) to 47 ...

[floral trail]

Just donate the par to the alliance

[versed osprey]

for me its a lot!

[pine raft]

@pseudo rune , regarding the rewards for this type of event.
I want no rewards for these, i prefer that SCOPELY don't make these "heroic" thing

Do decent events that don't require spending this many RSS. There's no amount of rewards that are worthy. (Unless i get at least half of what i spent in parsteel in tritanium, dill plus one tenth in UC/rare/epic ore+gas+crystal plus loads of latinum 100k plus and recruit tokens like there's no tomorrow)

[pale cobalt]

When we need 13k+ uncommon materials for a single building you can't really expect us to be able to spend billions of steel on upgrades at any time it's made even worse straight after a material spend event

[nocturne kelp]

i know, we all have been there. its just not getting better. its going in the opposite direction

[neon badge]

@pseudo rune Since we're doing "wants", it would be great if there was a "transport pattern" type mechanic for ship blueprints to recycle ones you have too many of

[remote ferry]

It is at your level
Took me months to max my Sally back when I was ops 32

[torpid light]

Tens of thousands of uncommon. New Ops44 and I need 20k uncommon 4* ore to just start academy and have been saving the whole of the last arc and now have 12k. But it only costs 12bn partsteel and I have a target of 88bn for the event.

[sullen barn]

quote from a teammate

This is very disappointing, scopely is raiding all of my potential raid targets! 🤬

[winged tulip]

For that sort of spend event I'd want to be winning an officer auction, not getting a single pull and probably not even placing on the slb.

[nocturne kelp]

i suggested to deactivate shields for the event time ... no one really likes it 🤣

[prime hawk]

The rewards aren't really the problem, it's the level of spend to achieve them. Most players can only do this event via alliance donations (assuming they have enough parsteel) - you'd need hundreds of euro worth of uncommon/rare materials to do the event via station upgrading and literally 1 day after a materials spend auction event ends, most of us are practically out of uncommons. Were I to attempt this via the advertised scoring mechanism of building, I'd need to jump 2 Ops levels or more.

[full umbra]

Yeah, I love my alliance but am not going to donate 70% of my steel for 1 event, not 70 billion thanks. 🤣 🤣

[dense gulch]

Even heroic, 252bn spend for the rewards is ridiculous.

[pine raft]

For the spend required the UC rewards should be in the high hundred Ks... like 500k UC in rewards

[serene ridge]

So hold on a hour ban for saying scopley are cats I think my point here is proven

[tame mirage]

Having a heroic and a basic would be nice, and bundling them together in a tab so I’m less tempted to even try the heroic 😅

[warped valve]

The event wouldn't be too hard if Scopely didn't have us spend all our rss on the chance we might place in that alliance contribution event... wtf

[unique lodge]

Heroic garbage… heroic requirements, garbage rewards

[pseudo rune]

I know I would personally like mats like that as well, I just wanted to see how others felt about it

[serene ridge]

I think the point is event incoming spend all ur res or u can't do it

[pseudo rune]

Totally understand that and many community members have said the same thing. Rest assured that I have marked that feedback down. I just also wanted to understand what type of value milestones like this would require in everyone's mind to participate

[pseudo rune]

More than happy to mark that down as well =]

[versed osprey]

try divide it by 10

[serene ridge]

Still no cat denial

[pseudo rune]

Appreciate the insight. As many of you know I'm still new and learning everyday. So feedback is something I really value

[floral trail]

60b for this!!!!! Jesus I am such a idiot

[versed osprey]

you are LOL

[pearl tinsel]

I suggest changing it from heroic to billionaire

[pine raft]

@floral trail oh you didn't 🤦

[icy beacon]

Why is the "Upgrade the station Heroic SLB" +/-3 levels?

[floral trail]

Well I did it for 'science' lol

[pearl tinsel]

You got badgey!

[frosty fjord]

https://tenor.com/view/i-need-all-your-money-help-me-im-poor-money-please-broke-fundraising-gif-14568852

[odd knoll]

It would have to be something incredibly valuable for the cost. For me to justify spending 69.5 billion parsteel would require something along the lines of enough uncommon 4* ship parts to tier a level 42 faction ship from T7 to T8, along with the uncommon 4* materials to do so. Anything short of that and I'm just going to laugh at Scopely's arrogance and ignore the event.

[versed osprey]

someone has to do it

[pearl tinsel]

Ask Pete for a donation... The admiral should help his players

[pearl tinsel]

getting ready for tomorrows event!

[serene ridge]

I'm taking bets before this new com manager has a mental breakdown

[unkempt lava]

Scopely should hire people who actually plays the game. All these shameful episodes would be avoided.

[olive birch]

has scopely calculated the cost to rewards ? eg: how long would it take an ops 42 player to save 62b parsteel vs how long it would take to save to get the rewards we did get.

[abstract gate]

@pseudo rune What gets me is who in their right mind after testing this in UAT thought this event and its achievability would in the slightest, be a good idea

[serene ridge]

They can't play 2 much lag and crashes

[vestal heron]

Just for you Scopely

[novel otter]

I would not play this event no matter what the rewards are. The parsteel cost is simply prohibitive. That would need to come down substantially. And then there is the problem that some players can donate while others cannot...

[hallow ember]

I can't help but notice with all the officer chest posts that people have put up so far, I have yet to see anyone get a Harrison shard. Perhaps it's just coincidence.

[serene ridge]

I got a millennium falcon BP wtf

[knotty niche]

Just do alliance contribution.

[hollow sierra]

Let's see, cash in all tokens, raid everyone i see for the next 3 days, spend everything I own, get enough to get half a chest. I got you FAM

[tender pumice]

the 1 idiot in my alliance to actually do this event got 1 harrison shard

[abstract gate]

If your alliance isn't full or nowhere near, what's the point

[knotty niche]

It's just an option. The higher the level of alliance the more helps. But your situation maybe different.

[abstract gate]

From L31 to L35 upgrading level gives 1 extra slot only

[pseudo rune]

Thanks Tigger, I'm keeping a list of what everyone is saying and going to be looking at the overlap

[hallow ember]

That is the 1 shard I need to unlock him, but he's not worth a 5B lottery ticket chance.

[tender pumice]

yeah, even if that 1 shard was guaranteed it still wouldn't excuse the cost

[distant dawn]

A good way would be - calculate parsteel cost of all buildings for an ops (for example for me, all lvl 33 buildings) which would give you a number, say 1B parsteel. The decide, how much % of buildings do you think a player should be able to build (with speeding up) for the top milestone. Perhaps 50%? 60%? 40%? Base the top milestone on that number - in this case, if you decided that for a Heroic SMS a player should build/speed up 50% of all possible buildings on that level (which is still extremely hard to do, because of lack of UC mats and needed speedups), an ops 33 player would need then 500 M parsteel (50% of the 1B they would need to build all possible buildings on their level).
Currently, it is asking me for over 4B and that is just not possible without spending most of it on alliance donations, which would also prevent me from progressing to higher ops which I have planned in the next week or two.

[whole pulsar]

@distant dawn good points but how about basing it of the number of buildings and speeds ups/lat people have to be able to speed through buildings to use up the rss

[olive birch]

keep in mind this isnt an upgrade base event, this is a burn parsteel to balance ingame economy event.

[fierce nexus]

Even with the best Parsteel paying packs from the Shop i would have to dump 2k € just to get the parsteel i need for my milestone event. Even with that i would not have the right other materials to upgrade stuff.

So for me to even slightly consider this it would have to reward at least the same amount as 20 100 € packs with decent value would get me.

[brave chasm]

Don’t know about you but I most definitely did not get 7 billion from my Red Alert event

[wild lagoon]

I got him

[tawdry seal]

🤔 balance? This game is as balanced as a drunk dancing on a rowboat in choppy waters 🤣

[distant dawn]

Lower levels did not get much parsteel to justify this event. Red Alert was nice, but it did not hand out 1B tokens to the lower levels. They can make the brackets so they target specifically the ops levels that got too much steel, and make much lower amount needed for those that did not. It is much harder though 🙂

[desert laurel]

Even players that got Red Alarm didn't get enough to justify this event.

[pine raft]

Actually, this event is like Ecos' job here. There's no amount of rewards in the world worthy of doing it 🤣🤣🤣

Run Eco, run ...

[pseudo rune]

Thanks a ton Sandra for that. Marking this down as well. Also is that pfp from an MMO?

[manic lion]

7.2b for a ops 35 player to waste and in a leader board with level 39 players yea a total skip, 3 day shield and turn off phone and turn on xbox and mass effect 3 much better

[graceful spruce]

It should just ask for n-1 parsteel, where n is all your available par including tokens

[distant dawn]

It is! The one of my favourite characters there 🙂

[kindred salmon]

Scoplay would never offer the rewards that could be worth this spend... Only thing that could come close would be enough 3* or 4* uncommon to fully tier up a ship.. Like an ent.

[fair sky]

Honestly, I would need to move up from ops 47 to probably 49 to finish the EMS event.
First of all not for those crappy rewards, but more important: the dailies I would wake up with tomorrow would be partially impossible to do.

So, absolute crap from an event design perspective by Scopely. Far away from realism.

[pseudo rune]

Which game, I would say WoW but I'm not 100% sure....

Diablo maybe?

[jade sequoia]

Many scopely events are poorly designed, but this one is honestly insulting. Thinking that we all need our dopamine hits from earning a reward badly enough to burn through this many resources. Just more proof that they have no care for their customers and don’t mind insulting us on a daily basis.

[fair sky]

And renaming it to heroic is just a declaration of being far away from your customers, Scopely!

[pseudo rune]

I know there is a lot of concern about this event and I appreciate all the feedback. I've been trying to speak with everyone to get all of the thoughts and feelings I can

[distant dawn]

It is SWTOR (Star Wars The Old Republic). I know, I know... but I like both universes

[proper meteor]

Why don’t Scopely just man up and admit after more than 3 years of events and dealing with their target audience, they have no clue about either. Rinse the cash from players for minimal rewards and design events that demand more and more effort for not tangible gains. Scopely care more about their bank balance than the cash cows

[pseudo rune]

HOW COULD YOU

😛

[distant dawn]

😂

My plan is to get to know everyone in the community and for you to know me

I appreciate the feelings and you being honest with me

[sudden ledge]

Thank you for your efforts Eco, but after 3 plus years I don’t know if scopely will ever listen.

Oh and welcome 🎉

[solemn solar]

The player base is getting over it 🤷‍♂️ that simple

[lost abyss]

We’ve been asking for exchange systems for excess blueprints since ops 39 was max.

And scrapping does not equal that

[solemn solar]

Scopely have forgotten that everything - everything - in the game is only worth what we as players are willing to spend on it.

[meager galleon]

This is Eco

[solemn solar]

It's all virtual, fictional currency that we put a value to 🤷‍♂️

[lost abyss]

And the past 3-4 months, rewards have taken a pretty stark decline from events if you aren’t paying money. Armada directives are a trickle, officer xp is now a trickle, mats are only plentiful if you pay for vault and battlepass packs, progression is at a crawl slower than ever before if you are anywhere at or above the ops your server considers middle ground.

[warped valve]

Hey, any chance I can trade in some of those Picard coins (you know, the ones we were told all event long to hold on to and then only given a day to spend) for Par?

[jade sequoia]

Since you’re asking for them, here are my honest thoughts…. Scopely has always been about their bottom line. They make it obvious that they don’t care about the players. They have bugs that haven’t been fixed for months or years on end, unless the bug affects their income stream (unlimited refine bug) then it’s fixed in minutes. They have tone deaf events requiring massive spending. Don’t get me started on the level of incompetence from the in game “customer support”. The only improvements they make are when the whales complain enough to get their way. This event though…. The amount of resources they are trying to milk from us is unprecedented! 170 Billion par…. 170 BILLION…. Seriously, never had any event, even the hard or heroic events ever required anything close to that! They aren’t even trying to hide their greed.

[undone agate]

Just came over to say the ms is bs

[blissful dragon]

I genuinely don't understand why they want to piss of their player base, whales will only stay if they have smaller fish to hunt. Also if scopely had cheaper /better value packs more people would buy and they would have more money overall, their business model seems screwy to me.
But the grind at the moment is just ridiculous if you are ftp, the fact that ships and officers aren't achieved unless you pay, that sms is labelled heroic when it is actually just out of the realms of possibility for the most who play (even some who buy packs) for rewards that are just awful.

[inner cave]

I’ve seen pics on here where it 999 billion , almost 1 trillion that’s a joke

[pearl tinsel]

If they gave me 6K uncommon I would think about this event

[jade sequoia]

I have no doubt. Mine is at ops 47. The people up in the 50s have to be just out of this world how much they want.

[versed osprey]

Its the other way around

[inner cave]

Plain and simple fact change the points. This I should NEVER and I mean NEVER have launched at this lvl of points. That or the tiers should be less. Even ‘heroic’ isn’t this bad

[solemn solar]

Actually 55 was basically "upgrade 1 building"

Though the rewards still aren't worth it

[inner cave]

That’s good if you have the uc to do it

[jade sequoia]

If I started ops 48, it would only get me a little under 1/5 of the way to finishing the SMS.

[plucky ermine]

<@&509690795536941056> if you do heroic events - make the rewards also heroic

[icy shore]

I have the par to do this event. I would never ever spend this much for the absolutely insultingly minuscule amount of rewards this event offers (compared to the cost). wether its labeled Heroic or not. That is a cop out excuse for a POS event.

[onyx terrace]

If you’re going to just add heroic to this may as well increase the difficulty of the normal heroic events we have. I look forward to swarm Sunday needing a couple thousand kills soon.

[solemn solar]

I sent a message to support about it asking if their coder was high or drunk 🤣

They responded that it was intended 😅

[deep steeple]

I get that not everyone is happy with events but I'm sure some players enjoy mining events or armadas etc however this event today I doubt anyone wants to see again so this says to me the event team are completely disconnected from the playerbase and their requirements

[solemn solar]

I can only assume they meant the coder was intentionally high or drunk when they made this event 🤷‍♂️ they weren't specific

[ember walrus]

Do not give them ideas

[quaint quest]

Every other heroic event they’ve done has been do able. This one is but you’re asking people to spend every bit of steel they have and sometimes use tokens

[ember walrus]

At 41 57 billon is a bit insane

[quaint quest]

Right there with ya

I’d have to use a few bil tokens also

[olive birch]

i think someone didnt think it through , made a silly event with ridiculous rewards for exorbitant costs and refuses to admit it was a gigantic mistake, hence the sad excuse of renaming it "heroic".

[ember walrus]

It is literally all i have currently

[quaint quest]

I’ll say what everyone is thinking. What a joke

[ember walrus]

Na what an insult

[pseudo rune]

Understood thanks Rhino for taking the time to write all of that up.

[deep steeple]

Normally when we have these tough heroic events eg research ones when a new tree comes out we get a normal one too but this time no normal and just heroic

[solemn solar]

Oh. We've been saying it 😅

[sacred harness]

Nobody can complete this Station Event. It’s trash. And it’s dumb to make us do this after another spend event.

[pseudo rune]

Thank you again Stuart, I know you've given a few notes of feedback today =]

[sacred harness]

You can’t even buy packs to complete this station event.

[olive birch]

a quick fix would be either lower the cost of parsteel or increase the rewards dramatically, neither of which was done, instead it was renamed and i am expecting that we will all be receiving a nice free gift.. with 5x1b parsteel tokens as compensation 😂

[onyx terrace]

I need 252b, I have the steel but all of my buildings need thousands of uncommon, some upwards of 7k. It would still use half my steel. I will simply skip this event, we also need an update to COW as the rewards as just terrible.

[pseudo rune]

Just a quick note, I'm going to be afk for a little bit, but I wanted to take the time to thank EVERYONE for letting me know not only how you feel about the event, but how you'd improve it and the rewards associated with it

It means a lot so many of you would be willing to take the time to talk with me

I also apologize to anyone that reached out to me via DM and hasn't gotten a reaponse yet

I'm going to be working on getting back to everyone shortly

[onyx terrace]

Thanks Eco. I hope you make some headway with it.

[serene ridge]

@pseudo rune you should get to know me I have a life chat ban from my server scopley love me

[jade sequoia]

What needs to happen is for scopely to actually apologize for their colossal screw up in event design and admit they are just out of touch. Tell us they won’t do it again, and then actually try to improve. Of course that will never happen from the company who’s tagline is “Things are working as intended”, but it’s nice to dream.

[solemn solar]

let's break it down.
In the last 2 days we have had;

Spend Mats to recruit Mariner
Alliance donations for Mariner

Now we get hit with;

Spend more par than we hhave given you this entire arc over 3 days to get 1/10th the rewards of a ticket event.

There's 2 ways to fix the issue;

1: massively scale up the rewards to approximately 10x their current to reflect the effort required.
2: massively scale down the SMS requirement to a reasonable point (again, 1/10th) where most can complete and leave the SLB for those that want it.

What doesn't work (now or in future, FYI)

"We meant it to be heroic"
Copied from #🌌-galaxy-chat

[pine cedar]

A “Heroic” event should have heroic rewards. The rewards for this event are garbage

[pseudo rune]

I have been asking what kind of rewards you'd like to see for an event with milestones like these?

[solemn solar]

@sacred harness @deep steeple ^

[abstract gate]

Rewards are pretty much pointless for a practically unachievable event

[proper meteor]

A Real Ferrari

[rough frost]

For a start, not those milestones 😂

[serene ridge]

Epic ship shards as a reward so will get para

[inner cave]

Tbh none are worth it. Not at the lvl of res scopley give out

[solemn solar]

Ive stated it in there.
10x what is offered currently would appropriately suit the amount of rss and timing of the event they decided to run 🤷‍♂️
The rewards themselves aren't the issue, the amount of input to get the amount of rewards is

[rough frost]

You want me to drop 144 billion steel so half my stock? I d better get enough trit, dili, common and uc mat to tier my pilum from t5 to t6 in rewards

[pine cedar]

The other problem is this event runs on the heels of the Treasury upgrade event where most Joes burnt most of their available station upgrades

[serene ridge]

Burn it all and start again

[torpid vale]

This is the save 7M Pepsi points and win a Harrier all over again. Way to go Scopely, your players don’t come first in support, in heads up notice, nor event pay out.

[solemn solar]

Conversely (and as stated by others):
Drop these rewards and make it roungly 10x what the ticket event offers (ie around 3k g4 unc mat, 5k common, 500 epic, 300 g3 unc, 1000 common and 40 epic, and around 2b trit, 500mil dil and 50k lat)

[jade sequoia]

These milestones are unrealistic. Full stop. If scopely is going to insist on continuing with this kind of milestones on an event, they need to be looking in the neighborhood of 100k common, 50k uc, 10k rare, and 1k epic 4* + a similarly scaled amount of 3*. The dil needs to be increased by 10-20x. The officer packs need to be bumped 10-20x as well. And certainly more than 1 pull from the “new” officer chest.

[tame inlet]

A new car with a decent warranty? ....The issue is unrealistic milestones not the rewards.

[pseudo rune]

Thanks everyone, I'm going to be logging everything, so be sure to tag me in any feedback on the event and the rewards so I can make it all down for everyone

I have to step away for a bit, my DMs are also open and I'm working on responding to everyone as fast as I can

[tender pumice]

if they want us to bankrupt ourselves then give us something worth doing it for. 7.22B is 95% of my parsteel stock including tokens for not even enough uncommon gas to upgrade a single building. completely pointless event. even if they upped the rewards tenfold it wouldn't help as i then wouldn't have the parsteel to do the upgrades im getting the mats for

[pseudo rune]

I apologize for any delay

[fading tiger]

I'll write you my dissertation on how the refinery should be, so it's not only fair, but dosnt "screw up their precious economy."

It is my sincere hope it gets printed and stapled to someone's desk.

And stays there until it's fixed.

[solemn solar]

You misspelt "forehead"

[tender pumice]

you misspelt forehead 🤣

[weary canyon]

🤣

[fading tiger]

In an effort to be taken seriously, as much as I'd like that, I am trying to be civil here so it actually gets done

But that was my first thought 😉

[silent timber]

https://youtu.be/WsoLj3KIq7Y

Just saying! Scopely WTF!!!

[shell glen]

@pseudo rune hey, i will agree with the common point, its a big spend event, right after big spend events... not really an evemt to spend tons of resources but, if the current rewards were 10x it would help. Remember, 100 uncommon gas for a g3 enterprise is absolutely nothing. A level 35 or 36 account needs literally 1000s of all uncommons a month, billions of resources and dozens of rare and epic armada starts. This will make people happy. Your welcome 🍻

[stuck cargo]

@pseudo rune funny thing is when something like this happened in REVERSE (too generous rewards) they have on occasion pressed a RED ALARM button and quickly pulled an event.

[fading tiger]

I think "Red Alarm" needs to be server code for: "Scopely done goofed tf up"

[tender pumice]

you mean like the Rom event that appeared for about 30 minutes mid way through the arc 😂

[fading tiger]

RED ALARM 🚨 😆 🤣 😂

See how that works now? I like that. Thanks for the easy meme $copely

[stuck cargo]

its easy. just throw X billion par into that "honey im so sorry" chest

[tender pumice]

are you sure sir? it does mean, changing the bulb

[shell glen]

@pseudo rune Give everyone the top prize in the spend parasteel slb 👍👍

Edit, just checked, thats not enough uncommon gas for me. Need more

[fading tiger]

sends petition to Marriam-Websters

We gon change that 😈

[tender pumice]

https://tenor.com/view/red-dwarf-red-dwarf-red-alert-kryten-gif-25064882

[stuck cargo]

what makes this most disturbing is that its confirmed to be intentional. So a dev whole team and pakled QA reviewed and rubber stamped this math

[ornate geyser]

At this point I'd settle for Red Suggestion

[molten cloak]

Don’t understand why everyone is crying when we’re just giving back the bank error in your favour from earlier in the month. Economy would be out of whack for the rest of the year if all that steel was left floating around.

[lapis harbor]

Are y’all out of your ever loving minds?

7billion?

[ember walrus]

Scopley's current QA would have been fired from Bethesda for incompetence

[sacred harness]

I don’t care. An event people can complete. Nobody can complete this.

[ember walrus]

I did not pick up anywhere near 50b para

[sacred harness]

Steel had already been spent. That’s the problem. There’s no giving it back.

[tender pumice]

and thats saying something. have you seen the amount of bugs... sorry... features, in skyrim? 🤣

[molten cloak]

Really? I had 17b, donated 11b and still have enough par to last me a couple of months.

[ember walrus]

Fallout 76

[umbral ridge]

Stupidest event ever.

[ember walrus]

So what ops? 41 is 57.6b

[tender pumice]

yeah... that doesn't exist as far as im concerned 😅

[sacred harness]

Nobody donated 11b steel when they only have 17b

[abstract gate]

I didn't got 7.2b parsteel from the red alarm, not even 2 I think, and they got spent for the recruit mariner event

[molten cloak]

Why is that stupid? The bottleneck in the game is uc in the 30s, not steel.

[sacred harness]

Steel is the bottleneck of rss once you get into your 40s.

It’s insanely expensive to build buildings. There is no way you “donated” 11b steel unless you don’t understand how the game works.

[abstract gate]

Then you have tens of trillions when your bottleneck in the 50's are uncommon 5* - by the many TENS of THOUSANDS

[molten cloak]

Yes but I am 37 so I’ll take uc over steel all day long till I get close to 40. 6b steel will last me a couple of months.

[ember walrus]

If they are a parked 35ish raider i can see them having the rss

[fading tiger]

https://tenor.com/view/this-must-be-amazingly-exciting-for-you-eric-cartman-south-park-s14e11-coon2rise-of-captain-hindsight-gif-22864487

[sacred harness]

Or you donated 11b steel at 37 level I feel for you

[shell glen]

Lets stay on task, he helped his alliance and gained some needed uncs, scoply is screwing all of us... lets stay united!

[sacred harness]

Scopley is definitely messing with us.

[olive birch]

ehmm. not sure bout that, i am ops 42 (100% f2p) and i have 170b steel
