34s can max an epic if they wanted to
3,0m augur can kill
But yes, the pt differential is just a ship power differential and smart playing. Money can greatly affect the former
That's one way to drive people away "spend money or don't compete. We're not about reasonable expectations"
You can compete, but not against everyone
If you're competing against someone who has more time, money, and brains, then what do you bring to the table? why should you be competitive against that?
Yeah 3 levels above is not what anyone in this game can compete with without overspending. Who needs to pay bills and enjoy healthy competition
Really "brains" so I'm stupid now. Thanks
I should use the word strategy then, sorry.
You have to fight in capital systems. This is a given for that tier.
If you're ill-positioned for this kind of competition, you should let it go. And try to position for next time. There's no harm in understanding that not every fight can be won
When does imbalance become apparent
You obviously need to spend more money per cand1e and stop being weaker.
That's merely one factor, there are others in every event.
Lots of people didn't know about capital traders, or that they can beat them with a t4 epic. Knowing what it takes to compete can help you decide if you can win this or not.
Well im talking about 1 player winning an alb, is that what scopely intended for alliance play
I'd like to offer a comment, but I don't have enough brains
the last weeks this one player never had this vast amount of points. he always competed with one of our alliance members. thats why we are wondering what is going on.
You're really taking that comment the wrong way. I've merely explained the way a player could be 16m pts ahead of his competitors.
for greatest good will be hard
Given the top 25 places are 90% 38s on my leaderboard, it's pretty obvious on what you need to get that many points. Be a higher level and have stronger ships. And as you pointed out more money.
Neither money, nor level are necessary if you camp long enough. You won't win this event if you're ill-positioned, but down the line, you can win one like it.
Why would be so difficult to keep levels to the same as the tiers? If they say you get rss bumps every 2 levels why would it be logical to have two different tiers compete when their is a given advantage by the next level higher?
Event is missing frankA points...
restart your client 🙂
Thanks!!
Isn't the AMS supposed to last 4 days? The points required were adjusted but it's still only 3 days long.
@pseudo rune Did Buffer Time: Above & Beyond not run today?
No on 56
Buffer time was pushed to the 29th
Clearing localization will show you the updated schedule.
The points were adjusted due to being scheduled for 3-days instead of 4.
this is rediciles. if is borg event put vidar paint shards. if is roug give us some medal for roug prime reserch not thise pice of crap.
For goodness sake another new token to collect ! And still no way to trade in /clear all the other tokens left over from past events 🤬
It’s actually an old token from April 🤔
So isn’t it doing what you are suggesting to get it removed?
Lol really ? Best I look to see if I have any in my old chest of curios. Don’t remember it at all
Yep it’s from April event
Jolly Dee , well that’s good then 🤗
It even says it 😬
Also just noticed. I couldnhave spared the effort to collect new tokens for a deprecated event. Alas. What a mess.
The tooltip is wrong. The tokens are usable in recruit section
Ah ok, it's a feature 😂 not a human bug
Does this stack if you have multiple below deck officers on a ship?
Nope
This event stinks and should not be this weekend. Points are outrageous.
The AMS is a bit ridiculous on newer servers most of player base is in 15 to 30 bracket. So no one is getting bonuses for people using the big ships.
My alliance has rank 1 and 3 on the SLB and we have only got around 40k points on the AMS 😂
I’m 44 and was grinding all afternoon our alliance has a whopping 220K
You would have to have all player grinding nonstop to complete one or two
Yeah no way will we even complete one
Not even sure the most Whaley of alliances on our server will get past 1
We don’t even have level 44s on the server!
Cap was only lifted yesterday
201 APAC
sorry if this has been asked, but is there any way for a lvl 28 player without a vidar to score in the smorgasborg event?
no
you can use powered up normal ships to hit lower level borg probes.
You need the Vidar to be able to access Borg space.
To the people worried about the Alliance Milestone event. Patience. We have seen this again and again. In the upcoming days the events will reward us with more points. In all likelihood all active alliances will complete the event with no problems.
Devs will be adjusting AMS scoring. How much remains to be seen
Apparently relaxation to scopely is killing 200,000 hostiles as an alliance. As was designed for this special memorial weekend.
Guess they assume 1k hostiles per player 50 in alliance per day is relaxed.
It’s not just hostiles tho, it’s also the assignment tokens, which you also get from the AMS so also scores for the AMS
How do you expect me to complete with these players that can kill heavy traders
I think the bracket are a bit high for 34s
At a rate of 1 to 1, so an alliance of 50 who all complete todays SMS will get 60*50= 3000 points... out of 1.58M, the same as someone killing 90 hostiles in an Ent (45 with a below deck officer), that's completely worthless unless Scopley's planning on handing out 10k tokens each at some point.
It’s obviously in addition to the other scoring, you also get the same tokens from the actual AMS, which also scores in the same AMS,
It’s all a combination of scoring, and it’s only the first day,
Makes sure your members are scoring before you reach the first milestone
Otherwise they would miss out on the first level of reward
If your alliance hit the first milestone before they had a chance to score a point
Yeah but it's a rounding error even with the AMS ones (240 for all milestones, so a 75 person alliance with full completion will score 18k from the AMS) 1% of the total required points. So it still is going to require thousands of kills per person unless the rate of tokens rises dramatically on days 2 &3.
@pseudo rune @keen ledge will you be giving back our 2nd para bellum event each month?
Well you obviously won’t be scoring with the final milestone of the AMS, cos you would have finished it.
BUT this is exactly the same reaction people had when COW first came out,
But people forget about that, because they were all like, oh the first milestone is way too high they can’t reach it. Because it USED to be the same way, you had to score a point before the first milestone to get the rewards of the first milestone
The first day is low scoring to make sure ALL people get the scoring to get all milestones,
Otherwise people may miss out if your alliance got the first milestone early
Yeah I was being generous because it's still so low. Hey if they give us 10k tokens on day 3 then its obviously fine but every person who completes just the COW SMS gets 10k points per day for their alliance on a total of 2M. Here they get 60 points on a total of 1.6Mish (also bonus points for ship use are 1/3rd lower than COW). Could be they just wanna score low on day 1 so everyone gets points, could be they screwed up the scoring system. Given Scopley's history with events I'm going to assume it's the latter until they show it's the former, happened too many times to just wait and hope they notice.
the assignment tokens aren’t supposed to be the main scoring mechanism, it’s just an additional scoring.
It’s not really.
Then the event requires too many kills. 24k kills with 3* Epics in 3 days (with the under deck bonus, double without) is way too high.
I'm sure it's fine for a whale alliance with 75 members all using 4* ships or better, but why would they make an AMS so difficult for everyone else?
There’s more then one event a day, there’s more events happening
That would be 200 kills each in a medium sized alliance of 40
Per day
Why does everything need to be super easy?
That has nothing to do with the AMS scoring though, you said that assignment tokens aren’t supposed to be the main scoring mechanism, so if kills ARE the main scoring mechanism, they're massively undertuned, more events have no effect on that.
It’s not like the rewards are spectacular
They aren’t the main scoring, but they do still score don’t they
I’m doing the SMS and dailies, not worrying about the rest. Que sera, sera.
I don’t know how many they are giving out,
From Non-ranked, max 780 per person
More events do have an effect if they are scoring, no different to COW
Personally I find this event too steep but I also don’t care. Rewards aren’t good especially for the work that needs to be put in 🤷♂️
Some events are just not worth it. No big deal
This. I skip lots of events, not gonna waste emotional energy worrying about those.
Uh oh, Amarine is typing way too long already 😅
COW scores 10k/2M a day per player SMS, todays SMS scores 60/1.58M, do you really think the other days will increase the token drops by 1500%? They'd need to run over 100 SMS's per day with these drops to come close to matching up with COW. I think you're just arguing in circles disingenuously at this point. yeah not planning on wasting my time with it, either they give us tons of assignment tokens or this event is trash.
I just told you the max amount of tokens, no need for all the guess work
Oh thanks missed it. 😅
Yep it’s pretty much identical to the COW SMS as long as you use an LD officer below deck
I think that was rhetorical 🙈
🤷♂️ it can be hypothetical if it wants to be
It's lower than COW if you use the x2 from LD officers (40k for a 3* Epic in COW vs 24k here), but way more since the majority of COW points don't come from kills. (a 50 person alliance will get 1.5M of the 2M COW points required from the gold trophies the SMS drops)
Exactly
And the disparity will be even larger as points and trophies will trickle in from dailies, and/or people being familiar with the event
Getting the must-have-knowledge of using LD out to the whole of an average alliance is not… easy
Just checked…my alliance is tracking at 2.1M for the whole event.
Mines tracking at 1.7mil
We’re at about 1.2M 😂
mine is on pace to finish at 200k lmao
😬
Top alliance on the server, but server is a month old. We finished COW the same way. We'll get there...maybe by next COW lmao
How many in your alliance??
I think the sms will get finished even though it is a high number of kills, from grinders going for the slb
The AMS scores 1 point per hostile, and is increased by the type of ship you use. If you need to grind points for it, it is best to take the biggest 2 ships you can. Crew one with Pan crew, other with Klaa or just anything that will give you highest impulse speed, find a nice lvl 1 or 2 system and kill the poor hostiles with both your ships there.
It will not help ALB or SLB as those score off the hostile level, but if you need to get few hundred thousands points for AMS to finish it, this is an easy way to improve score and everyone can help this way, they cannot make excuses about high repair costs.
But CoW event, as the one currently going, is doable by hostiles killing. We’re only 5 in our alliance and finished the CoW, and will finish this one aswell.
That needs some commitment yeah, we were all avove 2k kills every day for that, but its possible. 😉
This AMS event is broken. It begs the question, yet again, if the ppl who set these events up even play the game or thumb suck some stupid scoring mechanism and then inflict it on us.
You basically have to kill over 1000 ships per hour with a lower deck officer , every hour for the duration of the event, based on a 32 ship..with 50-60 ppl in an alliance. This is around 480 hostiles per day.. this is worse than supremacy and that is based on every player... Work the averages of what reality does to this figure.
This is a bad, epic fail, event.
EPIC
FAIL
We have players with less time because of RL and doing this over a weekend isn't am excuse.
Scopley, wake up. Stop being chops. You're giving is stupid borg events that basically have to be done to pay for the event to be completed.. waste of time amd devaluing the game.
This AMS has RUBBISH rewards for the time and cost associated. Devaluing the game again.
AND it's been 4-5 months without Apex which is actually necessary for game development amd you waste our time with this BS.
Wake up Scopley..
You're hurting your player base.
Get an event checked by someone else, to see if it makes sense, before inflicting stupid on us.
Deepest sigh... 😒
You don’t have to complete all milestones. Many never do in CoW.
If they make them too small, the alliances full of 42+ Ops players are done in a half hour and are bored.
Not really needing to do 1000 ships an hour,
I think that Scopely messed up the scoring for the tokens: 100 per token would be more reasonable and in accordance with previous events.
they could scale them according to the alliance members, or server age. But then again, considering their skill with mathematics, this might not work so well.
🤣
The math doesn’t check out though.. I make it more like 376 hostiles per person per day with level 28 ships, lower deck officer, and 35 players. Which is high but nowhere near 1k hostiles per hour all day long..
Completing CoW is super easy... 135 solos complete cow.. over 3 days
.. super easy... we finish it, the AMS, in 30hrs or less. @abstract gate
And that's without event ships.. add event ships and that requirement comes down
The points for assignment tokens is way too low, agreed.
An alliance of 45 ppl can do it on solos alone.. an alliance of 30 actives with 28 or better ships can do cow..
Those assignment tokens should give 100 points MINIMUM... or it's a farce
100 would make it trivially easy
Its simple maths...
100 might make it easier...
The point is, it's a joke as it currently stands.
Player apathy.... they keep pushing the line on this... huge click bait, massive time commitment, for what?
Rubbish rewards...
Balance it.. its not that hard... its simple maths.
But they don't do it.... often.
If I don't have the juice for an SLB.. fine.. but to set an AMS that's unbalanced is demoralising... any here in alliance leadership.. argue that.
And btw, I'm a grinder.. for most events, unless work or personal commitments pull me away, I grind my game .. and this event is pants... utter rubbish
The rewards are poor anyway so whocares about that event
If ur going to complain do so about that
Oh wow just seen rewards for the spend sms. Thanks but no thanks scopely….10 tendi shards and a ld chest pull for 1600 uc? Not really good value!
didnt score for completing either
Away team scoring is broken ? Finished few missions and zero points so far
🤣 💩 👍
Whattaheck is going on @pseudo rune ?
they dont test events they release at all
Fake it 'til you make it as it seems 🤣
NICE SCOPELY all GALAXY ^^no one has access to the g5 server #115
didnt score for starting lol, while i put a ld officer in team lead spot
ATA not scoring
Away teams event was there but gone now
no chance to compete
Looking into all of this now.
Someone should enlighten scop about development process where you have qa and testing before pushing into production 🤣
The daily goal event also scores for dailies before the last milestone…
Looks like they all headed to the beach and left the office cat to run things.
Just give us all faction hunt again haha 😂
🍿
working as intended, milestones should be setup to start giving you rewards after you hit your last milestone.
I'm saving my money, no chance of getting a reward thx Scopely
Looks like I got credit for a successful away teams. But when it criticals I don't.
US server didnt score for Away team events. EU server did get credit for Away team event
Clearly says earn points after last MS
@plucky erminethe same
so you are complaining because the event was easier to complete?
I got points for completing my first milestone…
That implies scoring starts after completion of last daily MS
I'm on EU162 and I didn't get credits for Chumming - neither collecting nor sending with LD officer (already wrote to support with screenshots)
Yes because I set it up to start now after last MS
The away teams is broken. Not scoring for critical successes
How many servers am I competing against on this XSLB jesus
Same. Finished an Epic AT, Crit Success, 0 points
Same here
Same here
Sent LD on epic away team mission as leader and zero points here
Always wait to try to score. Lag is always there.
How about that giant XSLB? Surprise!
Scopely: Let’s launch a new event with new scoring mechanics on a Sunday. What could go wrong on a holiday weekend when people are off work and spending time with their families.
Community: Yeah… don’t plan on enjoying that BBQ uninterrupted…
don't have the screenshot for the one I collected, don't care too much about it, but sending definitely didn't score 😉
I can't wait I work otherwise I couldn't finish
Ah so I see I am not the only one not getting points for “starting” an away mission with LD peeps.
Didn't trust Scopley, tested that scoring was working with a common, ok it scored time to complete away assignments, oops it stopped working when they took it out of the folder they had it in, come on.
Are you sure the Leader is the centre slot and not the first slot?
Away teams doesn't seem to be scoring....
I am 😉
Yes, it literally is labeled as such
Yup center is leader
I put Tendi as leader on a rare and got nothing.
the giant XSLB disappeared
I used mariner on an epic and also got nothing. Only got points for completing but not the bonus points for starting with a LDC officer
strange nobody complaining about xslb with all servers in there )
@pseudo rune Away teams event not scoring when starting assignments
haven't seen that one, neither before nor now 😉
But... They are complaining
They level of screwing up of the simplest tasks on a consistent basis is incredible. I’m more shocked when they don’t screw up at this point.
SLB Is rebooting, points will be compensated from first event's scoring to apply to new non-XSLB version.
Will it is a 2d event and I’m sure they have noticed…
Not only did I not get starting points but I failed my first assignment ever and it was that rare. 💀
yes almost all events lately...
Same but I did not get points at all
Hi, I've noticed that yet again an event doesn't score as it is supposed to. This time it's the Chumming-event. Started an AT-assignment with a LD lead, but zero points. Pls fix. If you claim it's lag, pls fix the lag.
Yep same here
Tbh I am strugglinn for sympathy for anyone who didn’t hold off…new events never work first time!
Aaaand the event is gone.
away team mission events are not "new" 😄
Wasn't there supposed to be an officer's SLB along with the SMS?
They are with LD scoring
the regular scoring didn't work either 😄
It did work, I tested with a common, then it STOPPED working.
They took it down, bc it launched as an all-server XSLB
yeah, it's somehow the users' fault lets go with that.
Scoobs literally stated "points will be compensated"
here is your chest of 10 parsteel
used 2 LD in middle and no score
Yeah somehow it’s our fault for assuming scopely would get something right the first time
Its clearly said "send ld officer". Wtf again...?
Worked just long enough for me to test it and see that it was working, then stopped when I went to do the rest of my ATAs FFS Scopley.
Chumming event not scoring when using LD officers as team lead. Started epic and rare. Nothing
Still this is all very good at distracting from the spend sms rewards…
Same. NICE GOING, Scopely.
Hi, I am about to start the swarm event, can someone confirm this is working, before I waste more time on Scopely's amateur hour?
Yes we will be working to compensate all original earned points from first SLB and migrating those points into the new SLB.
Completed two dailies and got no points for Buffer Time. Milestones were already completed before event reset.
FFS!!
Tendi SLB bracket still broken.. 35-39... Scopely insane..
So I assume the away teams bonus for using lower decks isn't working for yall either
it were over 60k G4 materials, i hope you can count all points 🙈
Welp, just give everyone 120 Tendi shards and we’ll call it even
The whole away teams event is broken- zero points so far
I scored for the finished away team just not the bonus
either broken or extremely lagging behind
Hmm had points event disappeared now 🤷♂️
If you scroll up, Scoobs explained this
Yep, away teams event broken, came to confirm. Glad to know this likely won’t be addressed until Tuesday.
Well i still have 0 points for the away teams wasted few days of speedups so i wait either for the points or speedups in return
Away mission doesn't count for me
Officers for ATA not scoring
<@&509690795536941056> whatta heck is going on- there are multiple issues at hand and communication is exactly 0 about whats going on when and how it will be fixed
In fairness, they have done a good job addressing the mat spend SLB issues. The away teams/chumming issue is unaddressed.
What's the team lead for away teams? Not the middle? Bonus didn't score if middle
give them time, its hard to fix all the incompetence at once
Well even of there are issues that need time to fix then communication that the issue is there and people are working on it would be the bare minimum
just got a critical success on an epic with mariner as lead...... no points
"soon"
Its like north korea from the scopely side where issues magically arise and then even more mysteriously dissapear
you can run AT mission with 3 lower decks and it doesn't score... seat placement isn't the problem...its just broke
Just give everyone a gift of ata speedups
When will they learn keeping F Troop on alone over the weekend tends to Fail thoroughly
just give us the full SMS rewards in a chest
well the cross server leaderboard was most likely the more pressing problem 😉
Didn’t wanna get greedy
Damn events are like the McDonald's ice cream machine..always broke
not greedy. already collected on 20k worth of ATs that didn't score, nor will i be able to redo in 24 hours
I've got points in Ata. I think it's just lagged. The defense upgrade event is lagged for me.
If they fix it you can finish easy
My at event points are still missing
Check back in an hour
sent Badgey on a UC Away team as lead. no points....It says to start is for points not finish it so wft
they would have to give like a 1000$ worth of gift chest for today f up.
for it to be even worth all the trouble and planning ppl did
Give us all realta cloaking
Any word on the broken Away Teams SMS?
what is the even that is “retrieving”? ive waited 5 min, cleared localization and restarted the game. nothing, but folks are scoring on it
Slb
but for what, i get retrieving when i look at it too
Spend SLB
I did 2 epics on away teams plus I sent 2 LD officers out for UC and I’m only sitting with 8000 points. I’m missing over 30000 points.
Don’t worry, there is no lag in the store and you get items after purchase. Try it out. Lol
AT scoring wasn't even working for me
After the events today, no one should be able to say how great scopley is and what they do.... If something is always not functional or wrong, then it is and remains incompetence!!!! People should be hired who can do something productive @desert laurel
Still zero points
4 away missions started with lower deck as lead… still zero points… no one can now say anything positive of anyone at scopley
Same for me (also badgey)
Same s… diffrent day and event
Chumming not scoring correctly
I mean this needs to be fixed but I'm not sure spewing vitriol at the mods is productive...
Chumming scoring is being fixed, standby.
If you actually surprised by this, you are new to this game.
Nothing works correctly, not at anyone at scopley or ingame
I spent tons of uncommon crystal 30 minutes ago, and I see 0 points for “Recruit LD Crew - SLB”. I hope the delay didn’t just screw me over.
SLB was taking a minute but AT no scoring at all
What a rip off I just spend over 35k UC and only scored 2m
only thing that suprises me about this is that I keep telling myself not to do events right at reset...yet I keep falling into the trap anyway. lol
Scopley is just ridiculous! Boost form of ridiculous equals scopley
Points not working
Take a shot every time someone new says the AT isn’t working.
there would be no survivors
I want my AT points!
me too
I 3rd
wow epic crit at with lower deck, 0 points...
Not working?
Chumming event isn't scoring...bang up Job as usual Scoopley.
i am supposed to have 44000 points, i have 2000,, haha May fools day ?
it's worth noting the intended scoring is points for SENDING LD ofcr on a mission
and then points for COMPLETING atas irrespective of officers.
No bonus for crit.
So if you'd sent out boimey yesterday, you don't get any extra points beyond epic. (if the scoring was working. which it isn't)
Chumming - sent 2 as lead on RARE away missions and got normal points. Sent without LD officer and got no points at all. Thanks Scopely! Making me waste speed ups on an event that doesn't score.
This buffer event is bs, if you've already completed dailies, you're screwed.
drink.
Spending mats SLB is back. Unsurprisingly points scored before are still lost in the void.
What's the scopely support email?
third star from the left and straight on until futility.
🤣🤣
or check #👽-how-to-contact-support , I can't remember.
When will people learn to not spend mats the first hour the event comes out
huh? do tomorrows dailies before event reset and youre fine. calm the F down
But who would tell us it was bugged?
Chumming isn't fixed either.
When will scopely learn to fix their game?
You have more luck finding a pot of gold than scopely has running an event without lag and point screw ups
Please tell me we’ll get our points credited lol
Spend more money that will help the developers with a new Tesla, I mean game fixes
drink
Got points for one then did another and nothing
you mean you have never messed up anything before? Give them a break. At least they are fixing it instead of not caring cause it's a 3 day weekend...
Uh, messing up is one thing but learning from your mess up instead of repeating is the object of life......
This happens all the though.....
Buffer time also not scoring properly 🙄
I have been around for quite some time... I have seen worse. This is a drop in the bucket
there is buffer time involved in buffer time
I run a software engineering dept of 90...with the number of issues that have happened over the last 3 years my head would be on the chopping block, messing up happens once in a while but not on a daily basis, that's incompetence
At level 41, I need to spend 9460 uncommon 3*/4* mats in two days. That is impossible to earn in an entire month of saving 3*/4* mats, especially without a jelly. Who is making up these requirements for events? Making it impossible to do events, not even listed as heroic, without paying hundreds of dollars a month, is wrong!
For a game that brings in $10m per month of revenue, these issues are unacceptable
If you don’t like the game stop playing it? This isn’t only game on planet
but how does your infrastructure and systems compare to the scale of scopelys?
I like the game. I don’t like the constant issues
therein lies the rub - why bother improving QA procedures when the game brings in 10m/mo in revenue already
It is a bummer when this stuff happens, but there is no need for some of the stuff I have read today. Things happen. They get fixed. Get over it... if you want perfect, you wont find it anywhere
Startrek-support@scopely.io - let them know how they erred this time:)
Stop eating their blue pill 😂
or, if you do take the blue pill, call your doctor If it lasts more than 4 hours.
We run connectivity for 21m vehicles worldwide processing 2 petabytes of data per month (and growing by 200k vehicles each month). So probably a lot bigger than scopelys
so if anything, maybe they could hire you for consulting lol
His rate is $10m/month
I wish
that's pocket lint for scopely lol
I feel incredibly sorry for Customer Support when this happens, they get the crap end of things from us when it's someone else's mess
Is the other atm event which was also showing 15 minutes ago canceled?
Pullllllllll the event!!!!
45k mats down the drain. Thanks scopley
they are pulling them over to the new slb... have some patience yall!
I was just about to say I feel bad for the poor grunts working for scopely. Chronic issues like this are often a symptom of a crappy work environment. These things don’t happen when there are enough staff and people have the time/freedom to do their jobs properly
Dude I tiered 9 and 10 on K'tinga...you know how many mats that cost me
I get it... but have some patience... do some reading here and in event feedback before posting. All of this has been covered by Scoobs
@slender lava or they're just P off getting high on company time
Any know how a lv32 player could get 5mill in the perfect score event please?
You've got tomorrow's dailies as well
What would be nice is if scopely could push a message/notification in game when they have a known issue with an event, and then when if they ever fix it push a message out saying, sorry we fixed it go now before it breaks again...
That warning would be up every day
Hitting 664 level 40 hostiles with a ld officer below deck.
Lol maybe 🙂 I’m guessing the weekday team rushed to finish the events before the weekend, then left early and said “screw it! It’s the weekend teams problem”
While true, if they dont fix it fast enough, they will just have more of a mob on their hands... it's a bad spot to be in
Thank you
Besides, as we have seen from today, no one reads anything scopely says 😆 🤣
What are daily task points? I thought they were assignment tokens, but apparently not
They are the points you get from doing your dailies
Your daily missions on the bottom left of the screen
or sees it , I got 0 notifications that something was wrong, there's nothing in announcement channels
Thx!
rekrutieren? boy they can't even spell check.
Pts will be ported from the old xlsb to the new slb. It hasn't happened yet, but it will.
This is more of a communication issue indeed. They are trying, but even a mod announcement would have been nice
They have to say it in order for people to read it, and I'm someone not no one and do read when they say it....
Uhh any work on the compensation of points for the screwed SLB?
Do you know what's going on with the ATA event?
how can they compensate ppl who have spent tens of thousands of g4 initialy.......
no its not on Mods, they are volunteers and Scopely needs to stop relying on the mods to bail them out when it comes to crappy comms
by giving them the points for the spend...
They are working on fixing the ATA event, I do not know what solution they have planned for it yet
It's weird because it worked just after event reset and the stopped working after that
They will give everyone 1 tribble
And lower decks officer option doesn't work for me
It worked inconsistently, lots of players have finished it, but others are still at 0 score.
But it does for others
It's all very good having new fancy pants ideas for event parameters and all but I'd just prefer events that actually work
Work??? Where's the fun in that lol
What’s up with the Lower Deck not scoring for away teams?!?
drink
Every time an event does not work have a bottle of something. The crucial thing here, is what you drink.
Scopely....
we'd all be alcoholics and/or dead from alcohol poisoning
🤦♂️
So for those of us with deployed lower deck crew we're screwed
Wonder how Scopely are gonna fix this for the multiple players that should have completed chumming already.. I did the only epic in my list ...0 points. Looks like I've been Scopely'd
What about all the lost speed ups trying to finish the event when it did not work
Go far away scopley
Do your saddest work alone!!!!
WTF…. Not really
I set 4 away missions with LD officer as Captain now for nothing
Nice to seethey change the scoring can i now have the extra points for the2 rares i completed
Fix this Scopely
Thats not only incompetence!!!!!
Has anyone rep been in forums giving info?
That is Nothing
wth about our away team speedups that may have been used to even do some of the epic?
So will we be able to complete Buffer Time if we have already taken the points earlier today?
Great points have been adjusted, just got a critical and no points awarded!!!!
ATA speed ups better to give 10 blueprints of amalgam
How do you fix an event?? By making it harder to score duh.....!?
I had over 10m event points already wtf
I have LDs on my At and what does scopley do increase points for xrit success are you fing kidding me!?
Adjust points all you want.. doesn't help if they don't score when they should. What a tone-deaf announcement by Scopely, they don't even understand the problem they are trying to fix
Find one good and work point … it’s easier as to say all the s… of scopley every event
FU scopely! This is absurd. Changing up events after some people technically would've completed it using speed ups and refreshes, etc. yet those players still have to run more AT missions to complete it? wth are you even thinking?
Put a freaking notice out already..Jeez
Not one good thing per week!
😡
True
It’s definitely easier to find one good point as to write ALL BS of scopley
That is it
I already had a crit success using Mariner on an epic before they changed the scoring yet since it wasn't scoring the using one as leader I got screwed out of speed ups as well as still have to hope I get an epic now that is under a day
Sry but scopley have to get new staff…. This ppl not worth one dollar or euro or whatever
This is absolutely not looking after your customers
Best joke today
Scopely is valued at 3 bil dollars, this the staff they can afford?
The customers don’t care 100% of scopley
And money
Great… so i waste speed up which means i now cant complete an event under the new scoring and my current scoring isn’t adjusted.
I guess the moral is ignore all events for 5 hours until they find the bugs.
Wait so did I read the announcement right? We helped people out going forward but not those of us that already spent?
I sent Jess a message directly. Whether i get a response is unknown but i addressed the lunacy of their solution completely failing those of us with deployed away teams with LD leads. In Specific, changing to afford better points if a critical success is met is insulting as we likely all forfeited that potential by placing an LD officer in one of the spots. <@&509690795536941056>
What a bunch of crap, I already burned up my AT speedups trying to complete an event that wasn't scoring. Adjust points all you want I can't complete the event because of Scoopley incompetence.
@pseudo rune How many Times did scopely did a mistake on this month because it starts to seem its every single week
<@&509690795536941056>
Ata event and response is a cluster-dumpster-fire
Players need either:
1 points they should have gotten for completing ATAs and sending LD crew on ATAs
or
2 speedups they spent to complete the atas that didn't score refunded, speedups to end the ones that they started for the start-score mechanic, and AT refresh tokens to get decent ATA's available again.
😬 hope you're having a good weekend.
Come on everyone, we still have the emoji contest
All I learned today again the hard way … never start an event before anyone says it works on here 😂
I thought they are already screwed that up
Really appreciate all the feedback everyone. Still talking to the team about this and if I get anyone news I'll let everyone know
Thanks ECO
appreciate you checking in on a sunday 🍻
ECO the only thing scopely has gotten right...
@pseudo rune We are not trying to be unreasonable in our concerns and i appreciate you recognizing this openly. Thank you.
@pseudo rune I am outta speedups now...I want my points that I deserve from the guidelines you guys set forth or a comp chest of everything I wasted in your broken event
I totally understand these concerns and I'm going to bring it up with the team
Appreciate you all letting me know and tagging me
The same on me
Epics weren't scoring even if they didn't have LD crew. Wasn't mentioned in the post. I guess I'm SOL on that Epic Crit that I turned in?
Lost 94hrs of speedups, sent 3 LD on missions. Some for 3 days each, sacrificing some of my progress in the hostiles event to get the extra resources to upgrade to Ops 46. What's happened is a huge inconvenience and could result in me missing out.. it's pretty grim.
been draining us of resources with past two mnths events without giving tri and such as part of the rewards like previous events, been draining us of away team speedups by running them not only as 1-2 day events in the arcs but also as BP milestone events to be done with 24 hours. I save up my speed ups, but can't account for getting an epic away team mission at normal refreshes let alone one that is lass then 3 or 5 days long.
94 hrs that is more than 4 days
🙁
yup.
For the greater good, is it using LD as captain?
Give me the points I should have earned or give me my 3 days ofATA speedups back.
????
Amazing, have tonwrite a ticket again.......
Got points in my sms but 0 in slb.
I justbget tired of this non functional game.
Before you write ticket there is now an official message in other channel
Did you get 0 points in the slb for something you just did or for the previous missions you did
You’re more experienced player like me 😘 I’m never patient kind 😅
@pseudo rune the events right now
I finished a critical success before this is the new deal. Te event said: Earn points for START epic away mission with LDs. I sent Badgey to 5 days, and Boimler to 1 day epic away but not granted the succes with them....
And 0 pionts...
?
I got 0p when i built mu R&D center and fullfilled the SMS.
@pseudo rune the events

?
@pseudo rune I used my last speed ups on the AT event and it was an epic critical success with Tendi as leader. I’m out of speed ups.
These changes do not help
?
Sorry that message didn't make sense. Could you list the names of the SMS and SLB you're speaking about?
I don't see the overlap for SMS and SLB right now in regards to spending materials
I haven’t gotten any points at all for completed missions
how the fk i finish Buffer Time in 24 hours O.o
The other big issue this afternoon, I think the one he's talking about was the "Recruit LD Crew - SLB" initially launched as a giant, apparently all-server XSLB.
This was pulled down and replaced with a normal "one instance" SLB, and they've said the points scored toward the XSLB would be ported to the new event, which, I don't think has happened yet.
So some people may be seeing completed "Recruit LD Crew - SMS" events, with no points scored toward "Recruit LD Crew - SLB" even though it's the same scoring mechanic for both.
Check with live ops but I think if the earlier posts were correct, the work is already underway to move those points over it's just a matter of time.
So are we going to our points we earned, be compensated, or is this just an invitation for us to buy a assignment speed up pack?
Sorry, you're right I see it now
Yes we're still investigating the points earned prior to the adjustment
The porting of points isn’t a 5 min job the last time they did it it took them 12 hours. The points will be moved over be patient 😊
Absolutely.
@pseudo rune might need whiskey instead
Be awsone without coffe, or feckin awesome with coffe but pls more low issues 😎👻
Go get that coffee Eco.... Looks like a long day ahead 🙈
How are we supposed to do the Buffering event if you are done all your dailies already?
between midnight and noon tomorrow? (adjust for time zone as needed)
I guess one day is enough (just need to wait for reset?)
Really, it is a 5 min job
Thanks
Nope not really.
I’d love to see the insane tables that would make it more than a 5 minute job lol
Cut scopley some slack. It’s not like the game is mature and been running for multiple years.
Am I boned for buffer time? Dual faction
There is a daily reset in a bit over 9h, you can do that set to finish the event
I see that but I'm wondering if I'll get the required amount since only overflow counts
Recruit LD Crew SMS and SLB have rhe same rss spending. Missing more than 1M points
Points from the original SLB were planned to be transferred
Any tips to actually beat BUFFER TIME?
@pseudo rune So the “Chumming - SMS” event originally gave bonus points for using a lower deck crew member as captain. I ran several Away Team Missions using an LD officer and received no bonus points at all and one of the missions didn’t score any points. The event has been changed to remove the bonus points for the LD officer use. The missions I ran should have completed the event.
Will this be addressed to get the proper points or am I going to need to run additional missions now?
Hi Balrog did you check the announcement Jess made in #⚡-mod-announcements ?
The announcement only said that the points for leader were removed. But in game the instructions to get points that way REMAINS
I'll need 255 overflow based on what I have now. I've never added up what my overflow is before
Did only your overflow pts count? for me, even the ones before filling the bar counted.
There is also the issue with people who maybe sacrificed critical chances on away team for the sake of having the lower deck leader @pseudo rune
And the original not take any information for need to bee success just start with them
Just changing the scoring metric doesn’t change the fact that people had attempted to follow the previous bonus scoring and will now suffer for it, on things that don’t have the easiest reset paths.
Hmm seems that i got the missing points for away teams event added but didnt get the rewards 😤
Sure, im sure it will happen before tomorrow’s reset and correctly.
try opening like a 10m chest
like me sending boimler out on a rare that was going to fail but should have scored 6750pts?
So, now we have sacrificed critical chances on an event to put officers in key positions, just to not get anything for that effort, because yall screwed up
Opened 10min chest but still nothing :(
I actually don't know because I completed most yesterday so only have overflow. Thanks for the heads up
for me, any points counted. You should be fine.
Thanks yall
Yet another slap in the face
I did and that does not address the lost issue of the missing points I already should have scored. I used an LD officer instead of officers to increase the crit chance since it should have scored better. I ran different missions than I would have with this new scoring.
In other words the change made does not adequately deal with the issue of speed ups used/points that SHOULD have already been scored.
Understood appreciate the clarification. We're still talking about topics like this. If I get any news I'll be sure to let everyone know
Hi, I noticed we're 2,5 hours into the new events, but nothing has been properly fixed so far. Can someone please put some actual work in and clean up this mess. Thanks.
Just to be sure:
- Chumming scoring 'fix' is vague at best, earlier scoring disappeared and * censored * over players who finished early
- Recruit SLB and SMS both have different scoring, which should be impossible
Hi Neha, just wanted to verify you saw the new post in #⚡-mod-announcements
Oh, we all saw it. THe fix does not compensate those that have already finished missions and not gotten the extra points, or those of us that sacrificed crit chance to put a useless officer in a lead seat. @pseudo rune
Yup, I did. Hence my message.
what are we supposed to do to score points in buffer event?scopely has tossed me into the land of confusion once again!
do the daily goals events
Finish dailies, keep doing dailies.
and i did the ld officer as leader assignment and recieved no extra points..which sux cuz i have no speedos to do another epic
ok,it would be nice if that was explained in event instructions..just a thought
dangit.
beat me
well i already did them all last night so ..idk,i think im just gonna put this game away for awhile..its more of a headache than its worth
then just do them the same way tonight
Following up on the points for the SMS and SLB
doesnt affect anything
Am I missing something here? I got points for both a common and uc mission I started before event. When I sped up and completed epic, no points. Did the mission need to be started after event? But I got points for missions started before. Or did it HAVE to have a LD officer as lead. But I got normal pts for the other two missions without a LD officer.
It says beyond final milestone but people are reporting all daily points are counting. God I hope they don't change it lol
rares and epics are not scoring properly
Anyone else got the same issue material spend not counted?
read #⚡-mod-announcements
Ok. Thx. Guess those pts are just lost to space then. 😞
all the points count, but the first milestone of the event is after all the daily goal milestones - see
The material spend should be counting, it's just no longer an xslb
Did you happen to check out the #⚡-mod-announcements Jess put out?
seems so, i had the exact same thing happen, epic ata crit, no points
yet my uncommon worked fine
My points are counted, and I haven't done anything since the change, so they did backdate points on that event
Ohhhhh okay now I understand, ty
Are you getting 0 points, so none at all, for finished, or just not enough points
AKA crit is not counting
0, none, zilch
Yes. But thought the pts would be credited with new scoring scale. I haven’t received those pts under either old scale or new.
seen many other reports of the exact same thing
oh wow the ata's still aren't even scoring? 😆
Mayyyyyyybe time to pull the plug and just gift-chest everyone the event rewards.
because that, I mean
problem solved.
or just gift everyone the points, so noone can get double rewards
true
Could you send me an image of the scoring being different if you don't mind?
Ok SO, Crits and normal completions now count the same with the scoring buffs
Points are working however, so if you got 0 points then I'd ask you reach out to customer support
I already did, but i've seen dozens of reports that rare and epic ATAs are not scoring
Could you ask those Commanders to send in tickets about this if they're experiencing that?
I did a test just now and couldn't reproduce the issue
If this is wide spread, the best way to find out if by getting tickets about it
I'll try my best to
Really appreciate it
I just started my level 42 Foundry and it counted just fine
I got this from CS on the ticket I put in about an hour ago.
@pseudo rune I got this copy and paste scripted answer...
I’m definitely not disagreeing with that. Just trying to relay the information I was given. I have a screenshot of the score I should have for the slb. I know what building and research I started. So can get the material amounts too.
@abstract gate I had 2.5 mil in the SLB before they took it down, from starting ops 44. After starting Foundry 42, I now have 3.1. The old points have rolled over into the new event. At least for some.
Please tell me the creator of buffer time has been reassign to janitorial services.
Explains alot
they gotta clean up their own 💩
Why? It's a typical filler event. Free rewards, for doing what you would normally be doing in the game anyway
so why would they want to clean up the mess they make while writing code as well
All you gotta do is a bunch of dailies you would normally be doing anyway. They have bigger problems, right now
@pseudo rune here is a screen shot as well. I don’t know how many screen shots I have from this game on my iPad. Unfortunate did I not take one before pressing build on R&D 42 tonight since the SLBs have been working for a while now…
Jess put out a notice in #⚡-mod-announcements . The scoring was adjusted and you don't need to use LD officers anymore
@pseudo rune what about Buffer Time. This one was poorly thought out.
Buffer Time was easy
Easy lol. I'd did nearly all dailies and didn't get past first stage.
Complete dailies. Get final milestone. Finish other dailies. Like normal. Complete Buffer Time.
Finished all dailies except Klingon and Fed. Finished event 🤷🏻♂️ didn’t collect anything until after event reset.
I'm not buying it.
You don’t have to
@pseudo rune but I am outta speedups and should of completed the event as it was set up and now I can't finish the event because the event is a dumpster fire
you knew it 2 days ago, plenty of time
AT still not scoring correctly 😂
And when can you do new dailies?
you have tomorrow
In 8.5h?
Announcements
Better not even think a comp chest is gonna do it useless its #1 event rewards
UT is broken
Which one
jinx
finished buffer time and didnt' even know I did it
Same
just claimed my dailies and still got some left to go as well
Nope. Ran an epic with success. 18k points. Not the 12k for winning it lol
How genorous of them, but i want the event rewards i should have got had the event been working correctly not a chest with naff all usefull in it
you got a chest
I read the announcement as you get the 18k regardless of critical success or not
I didn't 😭
@versed osprey they messed up..not my fault..it should be completed because I did exactly what the event called for..they need to fix they're screw up
Not yet, but they said all commanders will get a compensation chest
the only thing they messed up was the not scoring for starting an ata with a lb officer as team leader
so if you collected every ata you started for the start of the event you should be fine
@pseudo rune thanks for the update but I am more concerned with the 45k UC I spent to only earn 2m points!!
Buffer event will not even get the first ms already done my dailies before the event
Yeah. I want my 12k NOW 😂
@versed osprey I haven't gotten the points I should get...
you have tomorrow as well, for dailys so no worries
what do you mean
@versed osprey no they also failed to backup the scores from the weekends main event..recruiting auction
It's 1 point per task
no its not
@versed osprey I did all my away team missions with lower deck leads..before the event was changed..I don't have the points
1 point per daily point
read the event carefully, you get points for starting with a ld officer
yeah that
@versed osprey yes I am not getting the points
I spent a ton investing in ata missions with ld officers too, I can't believe they've funked up ANOTHER event
I started all of them with lower deck captains..I didn't get the points for it
they told us that they now about it, but you knew about the event 2 days ago so you should have been saving the ata's up for today, if you did that you would have completed it easily
If Scopely ran voting machines… it would explain the last election 😂
@versed osprey listen here scopely apologist...they messed up...they need to own it...and fix it..I did the event as they intended...they need to fix what they missed up..not my fault they're incompetent
in this case, you wont need the ld officers to complete the sms as in all the other events, they just make it easier
@unkempt linden agreed, this is nothing more than imcompetence
so in this case its not entirely scopely's fault if you don't complete it
@versed osprey I should be able to complete things at point in time as they have documented in the event. I should not have to plan these stupid events days in advance to complete a stupid sms.
yeah you should that the point of this game, and thats why they put out an event schedule for the memorial events
Because they don't have the ability to deliver it as intended
@versed osprey IT WOULD OF BEEN COMPLETED BY SCOPELY POINTS THEYRE ASSIGNED TO THE EVENT...ITS SCOPELY ENTIRE FAULT I DIDN'T GET THE POINTS I DID 4 EPICS WITH LOWER DECK OFFICERS..18K PER EPIC WOULD BE HOW MUCH MR SCOPELY..TELL ME WOULD THAT COMPLETE THE EVENT..THE ANSWER IS YES..PUT DOWN THE SCOPELY KOOL AID AND LISTEN
No need to shout
relax mate
Why would you do multiple missions when the scoring wasn’t working? Lol
@versed osprey I've been using lower decks officers in other events, it's poor quality and nothing else.
I've already put in a ticket (and got the same boilerplate reply as others, which didn't address the reason for the ticket) -
but - yes, at least early on in the event - critical success ata complete, at least on rares and epics was not awarded points.
This makes sense when you think about it
Now, there are separate scoring mechanics for crit and regular completion. Before the only mechanic was regular completion
So, if you got a crit - the way the event was set up, players got no points
Now that's 2 days of AT speedups thrown away, and also - stunningly now my away teams are all common/uncommon nonsense. I'm reasonably certain the rarity distribution of ATA's is nerfed somewhat during these events to perhaps drive spending on the ATA speedup pack and it's included refresh tokens - mayhaps?
Anyway, the result is, players who actually planned ahead and started a long epic assignment yesterday, in the event they scored a crit, are getting totally boned here - and all CS, or this discord has acknowledged is the Lower Deck Officer issue.
There was another issue. Check the away the event was set up before being changed. Rare and Epic crits did not score, there was no mechanism for them to score. The way scoring has been set up for ATA events is not points for completion + additional points for crit
Instead it's set up that theres one mechanism that records a score for a normal success and ignores crits, and another that records score for crits and ignores normal success. The latter was excluded from this event early on.
@abstract gate @versed osprey @rotund sequoia points and away team metals
nah, no medals
So critical success don't give bonus points. A critical success will give you the same scoring as a regular. Such bs
They added that so crits would score at all. I figured it out.
@versed osprey okay so "away team service medals" is that better?
do you want those in the gift chest? because that would just suck
Before: Epic Success = 12k pts, Critical Success = 18k pts.
Now: Epic Success = 18k pts, Critical Success = 18k pts. this way you dont have to score critical success and if you sent team away with LD officer without critical success in mind you will still score the same.
Is this discussion going anywhere?
Before, crits did not score at all, sir.
its not at all, just one guy who is blaiming scopely for him not completing an event what is bs in this case
yes, that is what the compensation will cover 🙂
Thanks Scoobs
I want the points I should have gotten earlier but it seems they won't actually compensate us for the event because they want people to buy the assignment pack to finish.
Welcome to the team
o7
You’ve been stellar in communication 🙂 thanks
Definitely appreciate your time on a holiday weekend, thank you.
Start would have been 18k, completion would have been 12k
restart the game, i got them
@versed osprey I want my points I deserve that I earned doing there crap event
Not the case for me, and I suspect for many others, just FYI.
Seriously bud, have some of your own and unwind for the night.
i get that but by this time now you need to anticipate that scopely messes something up with events, so start all the ata's you can 2 days befor an event for a guaranteed completion
Sorry but why is compensation chest acceptable - this is basic - no way events including dailies should not function - this isn’t a new game and it’s utterly unacceptable
Their*
No, I use my officers, I should NOT have to plan for incompetence
@abstract gate @versed osprey so we're expected to anticipate that scopley is going to mess up...wow...
yes
Not what I said at all?
its what i said lol
But also, not expecting competence is a great life lesson all around
So yea, plan for a lack of it
Yh I know. Just wondering why I was tagged
This is a pretty accurate description of life
Can we pin this somewhere 😂
😂
@abstract gate sorry didn't mean to tag you in that
Scopley new company slogan..."Expect incompetence..we teach you life lessons" 🤣
It’s fine. My point is though, a game is meant to let you unwind and give joy. I very much agree with you that this should not have happened. But if it winds you up, is it worth it? Does the game still provide what it should?
Just to make one thing clear, I’m not scopely. I’m a (volunteer) player
@abstract gate yes an outlet for my anger 🤣
The game. Not discord. **
lol... that's not what a game should be, Lag
@white light I make it what I want to make it...🤣
Raging at a game is defeating the purpose of the game
Well I see Scopely still hasn’t fixed the starting points issue
@white light nah it's a distraction..I have a mass on my back and other health problems..my anger is taken out on this game
they removed it
Then you are just hastening the day you end up in the back of my ambulance
Sorry to hear about your health problems, but this isn’t the game
It’s a discord channel
@abstract gate I am not mad at anyone here..
So you’re lashing out at other people trying to be helpful because you have health issues?
I want answers..
Pretty toxic if you ask me
Why does this keep happening ? Why does scopley constantly mess up?
Oh okay I see that now after reset.
If I screwed up my job as much as scopley does...guess what I wouldn't have a job
It’s not just one person
No one is forced to be here or play this game. Spend any amount of time or money.
And you’re still here despite your anger. Guess what, that’s a selffulfilling prophecy
@abstract gate your right...
So I posit frequent bugs are in fact your fault
Is there one single Event, Scopeley is not screwing? Is there anything they can do well?
I don’t think so…
They don’t have to do anything well. This game is still printing money for them
go try something else then this game to relax or something, you are getting way to worked up about this
Because they had plenty month to fix them…
Yep
The problem is, actually, that they don't internally sufficiently QA new scoring mechanics before deploying them to production.
Anything new will not work well or has new bugs
Do you factually know this?
I am wrong everyone..scopley is perfect..just ask all the kool-aid drinkers in here...I spend money on something I expect it to work..bad on me...we pay for incompetence yay
then don't pay
But you are still paying, correct?
Ok... this is just devolving into bashing, and not actually being productive towards a fix for the problems. If I walked into this conversation, as a dev, I wouldn't respond either. They need to QA (play test) their updates before launching them.
This is the best part go on 🙈
Not anymore
How do we know they don’t.
This is a wealth extraction app masquerading as a game. Why would they waste money on QA?
QA isn’t going to fix the single server slb getting pushed out as a cross server slb. That’s not a QA issue.
because most current MMOs that play test their updates before launching have a public test server
That's exactly a QA issue.
QA could have worked perfectly for a small sample size. There are people in the beta program.
Not the QA that people are screaming about. That’s Jimmy over there pushing the wrong button on Sunday morning.
Wrong
Events are scheduled in advance. It's not like someone is sitting there pushing a "start away team SMS event button"
You would QA the event by scheduling it in a development environment, and verifying that it deploys and scores as intended.
And what if it did?
What if they trained monkeys to spin a wheel to deploy events?
What if that’s what’s happening as well?
Assuming the staging environment is properly set up to reflect the production environment, then if it works correctly in staging, it will work correctly in production.
This is literally just how these things work.
That would be the assumption.
It's not an assumption.
You are saying that they don’t do this as if you know it as fact.
If they cloned the data from prod to staging
Well, they either don't do this, or, the staging envionment doesn't accurately reflect production. Either is a QA issue.
Now we are getting somewhere. Because we know that design team sometimes doesn’t talk to event team doesn’t talk to budget team.
It’s pretty obvious their code is a CF too
it's not "jimmy hit the wrong button". This isn't a trash compactor.
Does it ever when it remotely matters?
It is pretty much that simple though. Because Jimmy hit the all servers button and not the single server button when he flipped it from the test environment to the live environment.
Because that’s definitely how they do it lol
Only fact is, none of us knows what it’s really organised as
We dumb everything else down. Why not.
Unlikely.
More likely: The dev environment is a single instance and the fact that it was scheduled as an XSLB was therefore not visible, or, it simply wasn't tested at all.
“sCoopely NEeedDZ Qa”
It’s likely a config or a script that gets pushed out
I would posit that it's most likely that it was not tested as evidenced by the other event issues. Like away teams. It would be pretty easy to recognize that the away team event wasn't scoring correctly.
Quite a few assumptions there
Scored fine for me. 🤷🏻♂️ finished it with my normal stack of waiting ATAs
Finished Buffer Time
Which is fine. Part of the business 😉
Critical success rare end epic ATAs didn't score.
Nor did the LD officers.
I actually had a crit rare and epic score. Before they changed it. So………..
@vivid gyro how was Buffer Time?
Either they didn't test or didn't notice, either way is a quality failure
So?
First time we ever ran an event like that so kinda curious, as much as I'd like to wait for the survey.
Worked great. Had all dailies done before event reset waiting to be collected. After event reset started collecting. Finished Buffer Time before I even realized it.
That's pretty 5Head 🙂
You’re funny.
Buffer time worked great, and I like that mechanic.
glad to hear.
me too, even though, I was expecting it to be broken 🤣
Fair.
@pseudo rune @keen ledge any chance we will get our second para bellum event back?
No need to tag multiple times per day.
Buffer time seems to be working fine. I had already finished my Daily Milestones before the Event hit, and am now doing the "leftover dailies", and am almost finished the Event.
How yall doing on your ams?
About half of how your Alliance is doing
I don’t understand what daily task points are, I thought it was completing my dailies like killing swarms and alliance help but I’m not getting points for that 🤔
it is literally that
You won't get points for the Buffer Time Event until you finish all the levels of your Dailies, and then do ** more** of the Daily stuff.
It's kind of like the Battle Pass Overflow.
That explains it thank you!
It's actually any dailies done will get you points much like BP Overflow. the Event Milestones are set so that you start earning rewards after you hit the typical daily points of your daily milestones 🙂
Thanks Scoobs - that's a better explanation
1M points done
I completed the Buffer Time event even after redeeming a bunch of dailies this morning, before remembering of the scheduled event 😅 , and I still have the Klingon's hostiles daily to do (45pts total), so it is doable with a good margin of error, good 👍
What's the eta on the gift chest for screwing up the away team event? After it's over? No points for ld leader or crits has set me back a significant amount. Not sure i will even be able to finish the event because I was dumb enough to follow the description
It’s 48hrs 🤷🏻♂️
I wonder if AT speedups will come in compensation. Otherwise I will be wondering about the coincidence that there is an issue, but there is an AT speedup bundle in store
I'll need a serious amount of them as I've sped up 2 X 5 day epic ATAs ( All I had in the list ...and got a grand total of 18k pts 😠 )
I'm at 18k from an ATA that finished just shortly after the event started
got another 5 rares going to finish in next 20 hours
and 2 epics
and I didn't even bother to look at event calendar either
How big is your alliance?
78
How big is your alliance?
Dax that explains it! My alliance is only 50 players and we have SAME alliance milestone.
Yeah it seems like a strange event so far
gonna have to have a few players pick up the slack and forgo sleeping
Should have put heroic in the name
yeah but then they would have to increase rewards
No way our 50 player alliance with average ops odds 35 can compete with the mega alliance that has 80 members average ops of 45!
well the AMS isn't an ALB
so you are only competing against PvE
and AMS can be completed killing lvl 1 ships
But we have to hit 10 times as many hostile per players to max the alliance milestone since we need same number points but have smaller ships and fewer players.
no about 1.8x
46 points for a lvl 42 shp
26 points for lvl 32 ship
its 2x if they are using lvl 46 ships
vs lvl 32
How is it I have 0 points for the Recruit LD Crew SLB when I’ve scored in the SMS? Did they start at different times?
Kelvin gets bonus 46 points while enterprise gest only 32. Only half of ops 35 have a max Enterprise to put lower decks on.
thats not 10x
its on your alliance to recruit better stronger players
not scopely
it is a grind
but its not impossible
if you really want the rewards you will have to put the effort in for the short term if you don't want to work on your alliance for the long term
A Kelvin with lower decks gets 93 points per hit.
Enterprise with lower deck gets 64.
On top of that discrepancy we also have to hit 1.8 per every 1 of theirs.
For an Alliance of 65 players, everyone would have to kill 23,000 hostiles.
For an Alliance of 50 players everyone would have to kill 75,000 hostiles.
Yes, I know that not counting the ship bonus, but that's still too much to expect everyone to be on for the amount of time that would take.
and they put that effort into building their alliance and going after better stronger players
they get the reap the rewards of that effort
NO they take all ours when they hit ops 40. They did no work!
they did the work by accruing power
if you can't get better stronger players you won't be able to keep better stronger players
Incorrect with bonus from ships.
will have to work out a merger or find incentives to retain
I said that I wasn't counting the ship bonus in my post.
alliance aspect in this game is very dynamic and is a real PITA to maintain
They already have 4 in their mega alliance. They will not merge They want to rule.
something they have worked towards over time
just like gravity
the more mass you can bring in the more mass you will attract
@pseudo rune players will continue to quit if they have to work 3 times as hard for same rewards as the mega alliances.
yep they will quit the alliance that is always failing them
Actually no the more quit became they don't want that style of play.
its the same on every server
the majority of power is in the top 10 alliances
and its no walk in the park to maintain that either
So you are saying I HAVE to play your way or quit the game?
they get to reap the rewards of that hard work
saying if your way isn't working you need to find another way
Not work $$$$$$$$$$
Some will quit that Alliance and go to another, but the majority will quit the game because it becomes more of a job than a game.
this game has been more of a job than an actual job since its release
nothing about that has changed in last 4 years
Every dev team needs beta testers👍. Did you get your 1099 form from scopely for 2020 taxes?
And that is why my alliance doesn't want to merge we play foe FUN. Real life first no demands! You realize this is a GAME?? Why have people turned it into real life.
And that's why this is a game instead of RL.
...As it should be.
But attitude like your has turned this into real life. Saying big alliances "earned" the players no they sit around and let others teach so they can take them.
But with that attitude you can't be first. Period.
You expect to get the same stuff as they do but for free because you 'just play for fun'
The Devs wanted feedback on the Alliance Milestone Event, and, although the sampling has been small, the overwhelming response so far is that that Event is too hard for a game.
Rewards are 'meh' anyway.
But actually I would love more AMS events where only the real top alliances can manage to finish it. Usually every semi active mini alliance can do all AMS events so motivation to join up and make bigger alliances is low for those.
I am sorry I put far more hours into sweat equity than those riding shirt tails of the mega alliances. I expect equal rewards for EQUAL work.
Bull crap.
You have no idea how much they do or don't play.
😂
@abstract gate I didn't get a response so I messaged again so it didn't get lost in the flood of messages
Entitlement is strong in this one
@fathom shuttle Agree. the rewards are meh. just providing the feedback that the Devs are looking for.
Oh so sad....you realize over half my server has dual accounts within our server. I know for a fact they spend half the time in game as smaller alliances do just to complete the same event.
Sure, 'know for a fact'. How do you even measure that?
Right.
You don't
You just make stuff up to justify your rant for free stuff.
As I said. Usually AMS events are laughably easy even with a half empty alliance of somewhat active players you should be able to finish them.
This one seems to be an exception but rewards are crap anyway. So who cares
Good try I only am in game to be leader in my alliance. I gave up trying ro play game a while ago. I am simple speaking up for my guys in hopes that others don't end up hating the game as I do.
If you really want to help your guys then find a suitable merge partner.
No point in trying to compete with the top if you only have half an alliance.
This game revolves a lot around alliances. So complaining that bigger alliances achieve more is moot since that is as designed.
it would take less than the daily limit on hostiles for loot/rep to finish this with a lvl 26 faction ship using LD below deck
for an alliance of 50
thats 1215 kills, less than what I need to max my lego out to scrap it
so I'll be submitting more than whats needed for a 50 member alliance just doing something I already had to do
and I'm not even playing, my lego is parked in Yarda
which gets around 120 kills an hour on its own
Any update on the stupid away missions event working yet?
Any alliances finishing the AMS. We haven’t finished the first tier. It’s ridiculous
Still not a laid back memorial event but a 3day slog in the trenches to even get it done, Galway there,.
But why only 1 point per recruit token where cow medals score 400.
So 400x harder than cow.
750k atm nowhere near first milestone., and what's up with ams finishing same time as alb and slb that contributes?
They did say they'd fix the scoring issue on ams...
But nope still same...
Yeah we won’t finish one
Do working it out we need 15000 more kills. Or 800,000 recruit tokens.
so 300 more kills for an alliance of 50
less than a day of faction hunt and you can hit any level hostile with this one
Lol right.. Only 10 people managed the sms yesterday.
1500 kills each more like
Rest been doing Stella armadas all day....
its a grindy event, but its not impossible
a hardcore alliance of 25 could finish it in 2 days
Yes but was billed as a relaxing weekend, remembering our fallen heroes, yet all I've seen is red triangles for 36hrs straught
Top alliance is not finished... We are in 2nd at 750k points
Do we know when this will be fixed? Im not participating any further till i know where i stand in the rankings after my points get added.
It was updated to include critical successes but they haven't done anything for players that didn't receive points from a critical success before the update. I guess there is going to be a compensation chest but I'm sure it will too late
Robbed people of their away team speed ups
even after the scoring change, I was only lacking 21370 points on Chumming to finish. I got a crit success on an epic, and it only gave me 18k points instead of 18k for teh epic completion aND ANOTHER 18K FOR CRIT SUCCESS
seriously, get this crap straightened out
Is for the greater good event broken too?
I'm in the same situation
Chumming event still broken. Not scoring
regardless changing the scoring description in Chumming event, it isn't awarding the bonus points at all for crits
wasn't rewarding the bonus for using below deck officers for leads in the AT
that's now 9 days of away team speedups i've had to use as well as 1400 refresh tokens to even get an epic that wasn't 5 days long in the first 2 attempts on this broken scoring event
and by the time the near future compensation chest comes out, it's probably going to not even come close to what I or others used to try completing this event after reset.
And a compensation chest to ALL players regardless of how this event impacted some of us does nothing to address this problem fairly. Being treated unfairly makes me want to quit this game.
Chumming is scoring correctly. Normal Success & Fail ATA scoring was buffed by 50% so the bonus that you 'would' have gotten for Criticals is the same as just completing it normally.
Before buff:
Normal Success epic = 12k points, critical epic = 18k points, Failed Epic = 6k
After buff:
Normal Success epic = 18k points, critical epic = 18k points, Failed Epic = 9k
These scoring tables have never been additive in the past.
still no apology chest for the chumming fiasco, eh?
we still have a day and a half left in Chumming event, I am sure compensation will come around before the end of it 🙂
then what would the point even be in having the crit points? you can't fail a mission and get a crit success
An apology chest for the missed apology chest. Now we're Marvel Strike Force territory
Before the adjustments critical successes were scoring 0 pts, re-adding them to the scoring table ensured future critical successes awarding the correct (18k total) points.
So, sorry you missed out on your points but just put in more effort and speedups? That's really the answer?
@sinful sage what about the solo leaderboard. I have over 600k points missing in my score
So the "For the Greater Good" AMS, how are we supposed to score points for assignment tokens when 4 of the active events end at the same time as th AMS?
Also, my alliance is 4th on the server and we haven't reached the first milestone yet. I'm not sure we will complete it which is a bit ridiculous.
So, I see there were announcements about the Chumming event and not scoring correctly when using LD officers on the away missions... however, that's not the only issue, I've still not received points for a critical success on a rare using Marcus, Carol and Keenser. I started a ticket but their response was the same line about the LD officers... I wasn't using them and still received no points as of yet. These issues are really getting out of control.
I’d love to see someone post an alliance that has hit the first milestone
Our alliance has almost completed the AMS
Challenge accepted 😅 😂
Close to 3rd
We're 8k points from being done with the AMS in my alliance on Server 37
On PC app, so no SS ATM
what are the max points you can earn from all your dailies? i had most of mine done before the event drop as i typically do them in the middle of the night and since it said in the description that it was to do dailies beyond your milestones it was a confusing wording
There's not really a max, and variable since tri-locked players have more dailies to do
For me, less than one full set of dailies can finish that event
@neat orbit I did the same - if you finished your Daily Milestones before the Event dropped but stopped there, doing the rest of the Daily "requirements" should finish the Event (or at least get you close).
Think of it like the overflow, in the arcs, zombie. Do your dailies until you finish the milestones, then you start scoring in the event
All of the dailies count toward the event, you don't need to be "overflow" for them to count.
Doing just the Daily Milestones should get you to (or close to) the first milestone.
i think they need to work on the wording, it made it seem like the only points you would be getting were AFTER you finished your dailies for the loyalty badge
We finished it already
Ah, gotcha, Candle. I do all of my dailies at reset, every night, so I was already done when the event started. The way everyone was talking, on here, earlier. It sounded like they were saying it only started counting after finishing the milestones for the day. I have to wait for reset, tonight to be able to finish the event, myself.
Since my Daily Milestones were finished before the Event dropped, I completed the Event on just the "leftover Daily Requirements". But as someone pointed out, I'm tri-locked, so I have a few of those "leftovers".
It's totally doable by nearly everyone if you do more than the Milestones.
comp chest in gifts with a 12h timer only ?
scopely trying to give a gift my making ppl fail to collect it ?
Correction: We just finished the AMS on 37
