[hasty lintel]

Still no fix on Recruit SLB point screwup

[livid garnet]

For anyone interested, here's what I just got in the Compensation Chest:

[sinful sage]

just checking to see who is paying attention 🙂

[dreamy root]

You can also complete dailies tomorrow too

[sinful sage]

should be 24-hours now.

[dreamy root]

Reset is in 2.5 hours

[white light]

@desert laurel I just collected a common ATA, and got the crit. Only got 1500 points. The crit success scoring is still not working.

[glass estuary]

check the scoring. normal = crit

[desert laurel]

That's how it works now, critting doesn't give you pts for the success, only the crit success

[glass estuary]

they upped the normal score to match the crits

[white light]

I did. It's 1500 for a success, and another 1500 for the crit

oh...

[glass estuary]

no it's not

[white light]

then there's no benefit to crit success. the points are exactly the same on both lists

[glass estuary]

in todays event yes, they upped the score to compensate the screw up

[neat orbit]

if you move to a new alliance in the middle of an ALB, can you contribute or will it not count?

[desert laurel]

Right, critting success or just plain success is the same score. You won't get both with a crit.

[glass estuary]

if i remember correctly you contribute, but you won't get any reward

[neat orbit]

i only ask because of the wording here

[ripe jungle]

I bet it’s just copied from CoW

For alb I’m not sure what happens if you hadn’t scored at all in the prior alliance, but I’ve experienced during lat rush that my points didn’t count for alliance and I didn’t get rewards for it either.

[prime warren]

I hope this isn't the only compensation we see, especially due to the SLB blunder.

[abstract gate]

Yep, the compensation chest was given out across the board ignoring those of us that were particularly impacted because we put in the effort early in the event and saw no points.

[hasty lintel]

The SLB blunder that still hasn’t been fixed.

Im not spending anymore rss for the SLB until that gets fixed.

[unborn kite]

remember when video games were fun?didnt cause people to lose their homes,commit suicide.spend their entire tax return on a dumb game.

[agile summit]

That reward chest tonight was to make up for our 0 points counted towards “Recruit LD Crew - SLB”?

[sinful sage]

For Chumming scoring issues.

[agile summit]

Ohhh I see. I just realized I didn’t scroll up enough 🤣

[abstract gate]

It was Sunday. On a holiday weekend. And just fyi, Jess is a volunteer mod here, she doesn’t make the event schedule.

[abstract gate]

Anyone know how the ams was buffed?

[wintry cypress]

Less points needed and points gained increased by 50%

[abstract gate]

@pseudo rune it's been over 12 hours now, still my slb doesn't show scoring

[peak obsidian]

It's still the same for me...

[earnest hornet]

Have you scored points since it was “fixed”

Your previous points haven’t been sorted out yet,

[abstract gate]

Previous points should be sorted before the SLB ends

@peak obsidian @abstract gate

[peak obsidian]

@abstract gate hopefully...

[abstract gate]

Like this? What did it used to be?

[abstract gate]

The use combat ships - those points are now 50% higher (i.e. the same as they are during cow)

[abstract gate]

Got it. Did the total used to be higher than 1.58m?

Yep, 2M

Niceeee

[ocean gazelle]

it was the same for me

nothing incredible

[cunning atlas]

So still impossible to complete... We need a factor 10, were not even getting even close to the first milestone, speaking for an alliance of 60 active players!!! @pseudo rune

[abstract gate]

Assuming average ship is epic 3*, using below decks officer, you get 100 points per hostile. In an alliance of 60 that’s some 260 hostiles not even counting the recruit thingies.

Hardly impossible. A grind? Sure. Worth it? That’s for your alliance members to decide.

[jolly tulip]

Big assumption on newer servers

Our alliance won’t complete milestone one but we are 8th on the ALB

[cunning atlas]

The problem here is the very wrong assumption that everyone has those ships, the lower decks and can get even close to doing those amount of hostiles

[abstract gate]

I’m just providing a math example 🤷‍♂️

[jolly tulip]

Yeah I had plenty of arguments about it yesterday. It is fine on legacy servers but newer ones are unfairly handicapped

We typically get half way through COW thanks to the tokens. No meaningful token bonus this time means we won’t get close.

[abstract gate]

Calling it impossible while it hardly isnt, at all, (assuming average of saladins it’s still only 440 hostiles) doesn’t make for a strong argument.

[jolly tulip]

Anyway we’ve since given up and just going to focus on ALB

[abstract gate]

As acknowledged that sure is a grind. And up to you and your alliance to see if it’s worth the rewards

For me? Not at all.

[jolly tulip]

The grind isn’t the problem access to the ships is.

[abstract gate]

How long is f2p path to sally nowadays? Like 4 months?

[jolly tulip]

It is a new server problem - hard for others to understand

Would say so, I’m month 3 right now level 25

Feels about right

And I’m battlepass, extra research queues, building queue

[abstract gate]

So this is a problem for a small minority

[jolly tulip]

Easily fixed by tailoring to server age though

[abstract gate]

Not all events will be

[jolly tulip]

It is also a problem for your freshest customers, those who probably not quite as sticky compared those with years committed.

[abstract gate]

Their*

I don’t have customers

[jolly tulip]

👍

[abstract gate]

Just to be clear. I’m a player without affiliation to scopely

[cunning atlas]

440 hostiles is a stupidly high amount for the fast majority of players

[abstract gate]

For the last time: I think this event milestone is too high for the rewards provided.

For faction hunt you shoot that 400 something per day.

[bitter snow]

Good news is, that in a few months time you won't be a new server anymore

[scenic kernel]

completely f2p? I would say at best 5 months, more reasonably 6. I got mine after 4, but i did bought some stuff (like extra build/research, north star, dvor, half-vidar) and my server is a year old now

[bitter snow]

Depends entirely on focus and knowledge I think

5-6 months is probably right around average now, I could have done it in ~3 if that had been the goal I think (ent in 5 instead)

[scenic kernel]

ent fully f2p in 5 months? 🧐

[silver pike]

Yes but I believe this takes some other stuff into account. I got my Augur in 5 months but my Rom rep was negative so I had a bit of an advantage of how many credits and bps I had before I started it’s grind. I think that’s what is being assumed here

Ent after that took me 4 month

[bitter snow]

not FTP, no

But also not massive expenditure towards the ship

[icy sedge]

Epic chests are horribly RNG for Epic ships. I was saving for Ent but I got almost 40 Augur BPS :\

[bitter snow]

Account started after Christmas, ent done this week.

But. It was a case of not spending on fed recruits at all, skipping the 28s, etc

No BPs from armadas

And doing first lock (fed) on a vidar... was not enjoyable 😂

[icy sedge]

So, besides the ALB event, is Chumming also complete f'd?

[bitter snow]

worked fine for me?

They removed the 'start' points, and changed them to 'crit' points... but then made the 'success' points = the 'crit' points 😂

[icy sedge]

I completed 5 Rare events, that should be ~33K points, but I still haven't finished it

[bitter snow]

That's what the compo chest was for this morning

[scenic kernel]

yeah but not 4month from server start

[icy sedge]

Did they add a day to the event duration? Could swear Chumming was ending today..

[silver pike]

Yep. That doesn’t sound possible

[bitter snow]

I'm saying the Saladin in 3 months would be easily doable - but 5-6 months would be expected for someone who hadn't done it already/wasn't spending

ATA is a massive change to the credit/BP gain process, so long as you sink trait XP into the right officers for what you need

[icy sedge]

Getting a couple good credit mission crits is a lifesaver.

[bitter snow]

But most people starting on a new server, and I don't mean this in a bad way, are complete noobs, and will not be able to choose the most efficient path 😄

[icy sedge]

Nor have the best officers available for ATA.

[scenic kernel]

if you buy stuff, sure, doable. one of our player got the jelly in 4 month from server start (and then got the augur a month later)

[silver pike]

Yep 🙈

[bitter snow]

Which Jelly? 😂

[abstract gate]

Most people are still noobs after playing for 3 years 😂

[scenic kernel]

the only one 🤣

[bitter snow]

For those ones I do mean it in a bad way 😂

[icy sedge]

@scenic kernel we had someone whale to Ops39 and then he got the Jellyfish for free during the event (only 1 participant) [and yes I know 'free' is incredibly ironic here]

[abstract gate]

It’s a mindset more than anything

[bitter snow]

errr. ISS or USS?

[scenic kernel]

ISS the other one doesn't count lol

[bitter snow]

yeesh

though, in some ways... getting it is the easy part if you're the first to 36 on the server

Win pursuit by default 😄

[icy sedge]

That's what our server W did.

[scenic kernel]

yup. and you get a lot of easy slb win if you are in the top part of the server

[bitter snow]

Or the bottom part

[icy sedge]

Only costed 10K to rush to Ops39

Jelly was a steal xD

[scenic kernel]

and you don't even need to spend a lot for that

[bitter snow]

Game's only hard if you run with the pack 😐

[bitter snow]

Wow... that seems excessive 😂

[scenic kernel]

our guy who did that, spend about 200€/month

[icy sedge]

Our server just opened up 40+, and we have 2 people sitting at 42; so they will have no issue getting event rewards hehe.

[bitter snow]

I've probably done ~100/month on this account, and sat at 35 with my enterprise, T8 vidar, frank A, etc

[icy sedge]

Vidar grind is rough but extremely rewarding

T9 Refinery is amazeballs (for credits)

[bitter snow]

yeah, ~20 days off that if I can be bothered to go get probes 😂

[icy sedge]

This game hates me -_-T

[bitter snow]

😂

[abstract gate]

I can provide a solution to that…

[bitter snow]

Is that the ££ solution or the 🔫 solution?

[icy sedge]

Feeding others Eclipse Keys and Borg Probers is fun 🙂

[bitter snow]

one probe pack would finish it off at this point, but I'm in no rush for it 😂

[scenic kernel]

nice roe you have 🙂

[abstract gate]

Just go help yourself 🤣

[icy sedge]

Reverse Uno Card!

[bitter snow]

It's tempting, but I'd be KOS faster than I could blink on my server 😂

[abstract gate]

Vidar’s a warship. If anyone wants to protect them in RoE they’re welcome to the consequences 🤣

[abstract gate]

Oooo, even more stuff to blow up 😍

[scenic kernel]

transwarp is protected for us

[bitter snow]

Your meridian is about the same strength as my enterprise right now... on a server swarming with 42+'s... I'll hold off a bit 😂

[icy sedge]

Wouldn't 6/T/C yield more Cargo to steal?

[bitter snow]

maybe once I get the cloak unlocked 🤣

[bitter snow]

Not if it dies instead of winning 😂

[abstract gate]

Wouldn’t make it able to kill stuff though.

[bitter snow]

Ohhh

I see

He thinks that's a willing donation...

😂

[abstract gate]

🤣🤣🤣

[bitter snow]

Ashbjorn, meet HD...

[abstract gate]

https://tenor.com/view/im-a-criminal-yo-thief-stealer-jesse-pinkman-aaron-paul-gif-15272550

[icy sedge]

🙂

[bitter snow]

Less feeding, more just... eating 😂

[abstract gate]

Yeah I don’t get fed them, I just go help myself 🤣

[icy sedge]

I did that for franklin a lot.

[abstract gate]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-racoon-food-cat-food-steal-gif-3466529

[icy sedge]

Getting 5.5M parts is tedious if you can just clean out during Swarm event

[abstract gate]

Yeah I started two wars finishing my Franklin.

[icy sedge]

Curious, whats the Warp range on a T9 Meri?

[abstract gate]

Uh. 10 less than mine.

[bitter snow]

95 base

[abstract gate]

95

Beaten to it 😅

[icy sedge]

I was wondering why I couldn't kill 39 swarmies all of the sudden....

[abstract gate]

Yeah that’ll do it

[bitter snow]

ooft

[icy sedge]

In case if anyone is wondering, with T3 F-A, you can still kill 13 Swarm ships L39 without T'laan and just PM

[bitter snow]

That's not bad going 😂

What shape is your explorer research in?

[icy sedge]

8/10

[hasty lintel]

Any chance this will get fixed before the event is over?

[abstract gate]

It should be fixed before the event is over

[naive meteor]

Don't bet on it..

[abstract gate]

🤷‍♂️

[fading tiger]

This event: sucks.
Whomever decided 1pt/kill: fire them, or assign them to bathroom cleaning duties for the rest of their employment.

[abstract gate]

You see the modifiers right?

[flint temple]

assuming you're using faction ships, the minimum you should get is 20pt/kill

if you're not using faction ships, start

[fading tiger]

Have been the whole time. Plus the other 60 active players in my alliance

[abstract gate]

Lv26 ship means 21 points per kill.

[silver pike]

Don’t forget the LD 2x multiplier!!

[abstract gate]

Chucking Badgey below decks means 42 points per kill.

[silver pike]

Good HD

[fading tiger]

In not even on the subject of the modifier, it's the base points @ 1/kill that should never have left the gate.

[abstract gate]

Why?

[desert laurel]

You have two ships, you can use both to earn pts if you wanted. Ask your teammates to do the same and it's much easier

[abstract gate]

Your Bortas if you stick a lower decks officer on it is worth 60/kill?

That’s 438 hostiles per person over 3 days.

As you can see from my screenshot, we done it already.

[fading tiger]

And yet we havnt even hit first tier after a whole weekend of hostile grinding.

6 players alone in my alliance (myself included) are working on 2nd faction lock. Last event like this, we mowed through easily.

Something is not right here, and I know it ain't my alliance being lazy.

Most of my members are top scorers on the SLB.

[abstract gate]

Hate to break it to you, your score is indicative of your alliance being lazy.

We have chronic laziness issues at the moment; I’d have no problems picking between ten and twenty players to boot if we had someone interested in replacing them.

[desert laurel]

The easy grind way is stack ships with speed crews, load up LD officers underneath and swarm a lower level system

[fading tiger]

Or they could just give brass the ability to see whom isn't contributing, just like the ALBs.

[late orbit]

speeking of grinding, why is there a daily limit on numbers of kills / number of loot chests ?

[abstract gate]

It is borderline unnecessarily grindy for the rewards, but, it’s a long way from unachievable for all but the newest servers.

[abstract gate]

It’s quite a big number now.

[late orbit]

this kind of event is clearly about killing like hell, and we break it every day ^^

[abstract gate]

Every day?

[late orbit]

only 5 members in alliance, so we have to yeah ^^

[abstract gate]

Well… that’s your choice 😅 the issue was botters, and there’s no real easy fix.

[desert laurel]

Maybe grow the roster a bit, it's not really designed to be done with 5 members. If you can do it, then that's an incredible achievement

[late orbit]

CoW done with 10 hours remaining, this one we're at 125k points remaining

will be done before event reset maybe

for sure it's our choice to be in a small alliance, numbers isn't always the good solution to have a strong team spirit 😉

[bitter snow]

At least events like this and CoW are "technically possible" with small teams 🙂

Apex you're forked on 😂

[late orbit]

but i find the limit a problem, if we choose to grind like hell and spend lots of time, why block us ?

[bitter snow]

Because botters

They are literally the reason you can't have nice things 😂

[late orbit]

well easy to make the difference between a bot and a real guy using 4 ships at the same time to grind ^^

[bitter snow]

although, I hesitate to call 'killing thousands of reds daily' a 'nice thing' 😄

[bitter snow]

https://tenor.com/view/listening-it-crowd-gif-5598174

When the bot (especially on PC) just uses image recognition and a mouse click emulator to do the job... how do you "easily" tell the difference? 😄

[bitter snow]

The "something not right" is probably that you guys are hitting smaller numbers of larger hostiles, rather than going HAM on a lv1-2 system

which is what you need to do to grind this one out, really

[silver pike]

Bots. That is the shortest answer I can give

[fading tiger]

Probably, but since the event is exploitable in that manner, that really just highlights how 1pt/kill is an abhorrently broken idea and needs to be re-thought.

[bitter snow]

You say exploitable, I say 'balanced for all levels of player' 🙂

Same with CoW (and most AMS if you look at them - it's usually a scoring method which is divorced from player level, aside from some small balance for ship tiers in the case of this and CoW)..

If you amp the points for higher hostiles, suddenly the guys up in the lv50+ systems are completing it in a few kills rather than the time it's meant to take

[fading tiger]

You can still do tiered scoring based on level and have it balanced. That just requires a liiiiiiiittttlllleee bit more math.

And for context, we've never had an issue clearing 5th or 6th tier in COW.

Last one alone we almost finished it wholesale.

[bitter snow]

We've not got the first milestone yet, but we're busy shooting blues instead 😂

[bitter snow]

That's because CoW's primary scoring method is actually the 1200 trophies each player can bring in

Which is agnostic of ship-levels hit

The ship points in the SMS is to give players an option to grind it out (lousy option, IMO, but better than "har har, you can't do this unless you have 30+ active players")

They tried to do this with this one too I think, with the assignment token gain metric

But I'm not convinced they added up the scoring right 😂

[abstract gate]

It is, and the math is actually quite clever. See here:

Ta-da, tiered scoring.

[bitter snow]

And as to level based scoring and have it balanced?

Well, if the whale alliance finishes it in a couple hours and has nothing to do for 3 days, while a smaller alliance cannot finish it despite having the same number of active players because of points difference on the hostiles you're hitting... how would you balance it? 🙂

Again... do tell

It's great to chuck out "It's easy"... prove it 😂

I have no idea how I'd even start 😂

[fading tiger]

Tell the whales that's what they get for partaking in P2W to the extreme. 😆

You get boredom when you pay to finish things in the snap of a finger.

[bitter snow]

When they're the ones keeping the bills paid, really?

[fading tiger]

Yea. No hesitation. Their luxury does not equal balanced play across the board, that's quite literally what pay to win means

[bitter snow]

Though, whale in this context isn't particularly meaning the multi-grand spending whale, but just the players who gravitate towards top alliances

[scenic kernel]

I think it was clever of them to do a 💩 scoring system, then people are focus on that instead of focusing on the 💩 rewards 🤣

[fading tiger]

There's that too

[bitter snow]

Just ignoring both tbh 😂

[abstract gate]

We finished it easy and besides one of the Whaley whales and two others probably a little spendier, I’m considered fairly chunky.

At Ops 43.

[bitter snow]

But I do find the "It's simple really" crowd hilarious, when they can't even string together a coherent alternative

[abstract gate]

The Whaley whales would have had this done very, very quickly indeed anyway and you want to stick it to them even more? 👀

[bitter snow]

"Just rack off the guys they want to cultivate" suuure 😂

[abstract gate]

It’s not even about them though. Looking at our alliance scores for other things I know who would have done the heavy lifting here and he’ll have done it in a T7 Saladin…

[bitter snow]

yeah, because it moves faster and the scoring bonus for ship type isn't actually massive

[abstract gate]

And he’s Ops 29 🤣

[bitter snow]

😂

[abstract gate]

Or 28. I forget which.

[bitter snow]

for some reason I read 27 there

[abstract gate]

He used to be, but then he has to have levelled up for his Saladbin.

[bitter snow]

yeah

Gotta admit, I've more or less ignored the AMS because I thought it was CoW like and the assignment tokens were meant to do the bulk of completion 😂

[scenic kernel]

I am also confused by the "killing 200 hostiles a day is too much", I guess people think it is an idle game?

[bitter snow]

I do my best to kill as few as possible, because it primarily is an idle game

click a thing, wait on a timer

[abstract gate]

I’ll get through between 200 and 400 a day anyway without trying.

[bitter snow]

hostiles are the only thing that isn't idle

and blues*

[abstract gate]

But we do get people ask for my battle logs from yesterday and they seem confused when I say I don’t have them.

[bitter snow]

didn't even do swarms today 😄

[scenic kernel]

same. 30 swarms 50 factions 40 borgs seem to be the minimum

[abstract gate]

Did that last night, then left Frankie up there to do todays as well 🤣

[bitter snow]

25 faction, ~12-17 swarm depending on how I feel, like 10-15 borg tops

then whatever events call for that isn't handled by the rest of it

Rare days I'll do an extra run or two for faction "grind"

[scenic kernel]

yeah you spend more time talking here 🤣

[bitter snow]

But that doesn't amount to more than 50 additional kills 😂

[bitter snow]

I do!

[scenic kernel]

and you have two accounts

[bitter snow]

Nah, just one

[scenic kernel]

ah, I misunderstood

[bitter snow]

The old one I'm not allowed to talk here, about how I sent it to a better home 😂

I had two accounts for about a month

It's covered in point 10 of the 'Nos' 😂

I can feel Cand1e staring at me from here

[scenic kernel]

oh, we are not allowed to talk about two accounts?

[abstract gate]

You’re not allowed to talk about how you might go from two accounts to one account.

[silver pike]

Yep it’s not allowed 🤣🤣

[abstract gate]

Hi, I noticed it's been nearly 24 hours and somehow the scoring for the SLB and SMS aren't fixed yet. Can someone put some actual work in, please?

How am I even asking this again....

[bitter snow]

https://tenor.com/view/theres-some-stuff-going-on-behind-the-scenes-corey-vidal-somethings-going-on-theres-something-tricky-somethings-wrong-gif-20544370

[hasty lintel]

3 tickets sent in, 3 identical copy/paste replies from 3 different CS people. Im not holding my breath, nor am I participating any further in the SLB until the points get added.

[bitter snow]

One ticket wasn't enough?

I'd copy-paste your ass too 😂

[abstract gate]

I did some minor scoring to see if new points got added, they did. Still a huge difference between SMS and SLB though

[silver pike]

The points will be updated. Be patient it’s not a 5 min job. Last time took them 12 hours they will get there for this run as well

[hasty lintel]

Im not adding more. I did 2 prime researchs (4* rss) that didn’t get counted. I should be in 4th place in the current rankings.

[silver pike]

They will be added. Be patient

[bitter snow]

No, don't be patient... RAAAAAGE 👀

or not, you know... it's a game

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

[silver pike]

😬

[hasty lintel]

Unfortunately my confidence is low on Scooply fixing their errors.

[scenic kernel]

it is good entertainment for us 🤣

[silver pike]

Well it’s been said it will be fixed today.

[bitter snow]

despite the fact that they've done it several times lately? 😂

I have no confidence in them avoiding errors

But they do fix them

[hasty lintel]

Lol

[scenic kernel]

well "fix" they might add double amounts of points

[bitter snow]

https://tenor.com/view/colbert-popcorn-popcorn-stephen-colbert-eat-popcorn-popcorn2020-gif-16075618

[bitter snow]

Fix... for a given value of 'made it right, ish'

[hasty lintel]

Probably get fixed tomorrow morning an hour before the event ends.

[bitter snow]

Usually most fixes/comp chests happen in the US working day, so I'd expect in the next ~8 hours or so

[hasty lintel]

Most companies are off today for Memorial Day

[silver pike]

Most

[bitter snow]

Support staff don't get that luxury 😂

[eager nimbus]

I am still surprised and are trying to get used to their new version of DevOps culture, called DevOooooooooops 😂😂🥰

It’s soon 24h since the restarted the event and still no points registered. Don’t dare to do anything since the last ticket a week ago they complained about that I continued leveling stuff while waiting for them to come back with a solution 😂😂

[abstract gate]

https://tenor.com/view/star-wars-yoda-patience-sw3-gif-21070142

They’re working on it. We’re told. 👍🏻

[icy sedge]

Anyone know if there is specific reason that Feesha is not offered in the Store on Latinum Monday?

[ember walrus]

A lack of greed?

[silver pike]

I think they don’t offer it over lat Monday because it might break the event as the Lat rush event is different Ops 35+ for Feesha owners. Not sure just my guess

[icy sedge]

It has been there every week since Feesha was introduced.

Finally have my vacation bonus from work to get a 2nd and now this :\

[paper venture]

Anyone else not have syndicate XP scoring

[quartz wren]

Did not get points, and specifically waited until after reset to claim

Feels like the event started late

[gentle raft]

The event literally just showed up, wasn't event on my list 10 minutes ago

Plus non of the milestones have been adjusted despite that when it was used during battlepass, there were the points you'd get from battle pass. Now I'm going to barely get to the 1st MS

[main spindle]

Really a syndicate xp event i already collected my syndicate xp for the day so now i won't even get past the second milestone that's just wrong not giving any warning for a event like this

[gentle raft]

Warning doesn't matter, it's 22hr cooldown so you'd only really get 1 pull per day anyways

[paper venture]

Just cashed in my daily and got nothingz

[main spindle]

@gentle raft my point was i collected it before the event popped up

[rustic blade]

If you get 250xp daily then x5 brings it to 1250

[main spindle]

If we had a warning i wouldn't have collected it before event reset

[rustic blade]

So basically a not paying customer will not be able to make it past first milestone

Well done <@&509690795536941056>

[paper venture]

True.

[paper venture]

They don’t care if you don’t pay.

[blazing tide]

Isn’t it possible to introduce an update to the game WITHOUT bringing old bugs back too life? It is unbelievable, how Scopely performs 😡😡😡

[hasty crystal]

There’s no xp packs available today so paying customers can’t do much either lol

[rustic blade]

I think we already had it where they ducked it up so that without 💸 you are not able to finish sms

I guess someone brought new and illegal drugs to the scopely office

[abstract gate]

Scoooooooobleyyyyyyy

[spark zealot]

using old and potentially legal "recreational drugs"? 🤣

[abstract gate]

No syndicate points scoobley pls

[naive meteor]

It's Gobbledygook

[leaden oak]

A broken event, yet again 🤦🏼‍♂️

[fierce cosmos]

Why would you sneak in these events that require planning, without any heads up? I even waited til event reset to claim my daily syndicate, but this didn't show up til after. @pseudo rune it's been getting better with the communication, but things like this counter all the progress.

[fathom shuttle]

You can't make it in 3 days anyway. Not even with prime..

[rustic blade]

So without paying not doable

[fathom shuttle]

No syndicate xp in shop either. 😂

[fierce cosmos]

Yeah, the sms scoring is garbage, but now those who wake up later will have an advantage on the leaderboard

[fathom shuttle]

So simply not doable. Not even with cash.

[rustic blade]

🤣

So they are getting so sloppy that they even forget to make money

In addition of peeing on the average joe 🤣

[spark zealot]

Well, technically I would be able to complete - if I could get a syndicate chest "right now" instead of "in 12 hours" then I could open 4 containing 600 each -> enough to complete it. but thats on a syndicate lvl 16 prime account...

[scenic kernel]

was that even supposed to happen? I can't see it on the schedule

and you could do it with some multiphasic syndicate booster

[silver pike]

No mention of it on the schedule from what I can see 🤔

[ember walrus]

Technically the event can be completed but meh why bother 10 boimler shards, 2 ultra pulls, and 1 rare start for a minimum of 50 bucks

[spark zealot]

still not seeing those packs even after restart 😉

and no, I have not bought both 5 times in the past.

[silver pike]

It’s 5 times this run

[ember walrus]

I am far to cheap to bother with this one

[spark zealot]

doesn't change the fact that my account doesn't even have the option 😉 anyhow, it's a milestone, you should be able to complete it with 3 regular syndicate chests of your syndicate level...

[copper onyx]

Sooo.... were we meant to have somehow saved our Syndicate points for this event? or is it just an SMS in name only, so the Whales can win?

[spark zealot]

even if it pays out a rare armada

[silver pike]

It’s probably not showing because of how much you spend or your account age etc

[icy sedge]

Hella lame SMS cannot be completed without paying, I thought SMS exists to be F2P friendly and the SLB is for spenders?

Not to mention had no idea this was coming, so already collected my XP this morning.

[fathom shuttle]

I don't see them either and I most certainly spend. 😂

[silver pike]

Probably something else then

[spark zealot]

well, let's see what happens when eco and/or devops "get to work on this", will be looking for a statement when I'm home 😉

[copper onyx]

Its almost as if Scopely don't have a clue how to run this game for F2Ps... perish the thought!

[icy sedge]

I get 300 daily XP x 10 (broken multiplier that says x5 in game but is actually x10). So that is 3000 points x 3 = 9K, but event requires 12K+. Not to mention since I collected mine already (stupid me right??) I can only collect 6K now. AKA unfinishable SMS.

[pale path]

Annoyed that this wasn't listed on the events list, I also collected today's already

[abstract gate]

I waited 24 minutes after reset to collect syndicate xp, what the f scopely

[zenith saffron]

Yet again; I plan the events and check the schedule. Collect my Syndicate XP a few hours before reset and now a syndicate event. It’s pointless with how bad the latest events are.
Don’t even get me started on the compo chest for yesterdays event which basically penalised people who had run the event and gave others the means to complete easier.

[copper onyx]

maybe we'll get a 'oops, correctio' from them again... they seem to be doing it a lot recently

[pale path]

Seems they do it every event

[cyan iris]

Any news on slb they restarted?

[silver pike]

All that’s known is the old points will be given to the new SLB.

[red bloom]

Not entirely... it would rather end up like the last time: "oooooh sorry. Mislabeled again.. it was supposed to be named as heroic version" 🤣 🤣 🤣 (translate: only for p2w 🙈 )

[hasty lintel]

NOTHING

[cyan iris]

Heard that but been over 24 hrs.... trying to figure if worth pushing more pts or cry at writing off the pts.

[icy sedge]

At this rate **the **jury will be out before we have an answer from Scopely...

[vocal hawk]

Honestly at this point I'm convinced dopely are releasing terrible events on purpose, make the player base quit, take investor money and run 😂

[neat orbit]

clearly they added it only for the p2p players.....

[vocal hawk]

But ye I'm getting downright sick of the transparent attempts to increase spending thus game is a joke

[abstract gate]

@pseudo rune ☝️This.

[simple prairie]

Mistakes after mistakes, it's getting worse and worse! Especially the scores in the events. After the update, old errors come back. But that's not enough, now you have to spend money on Ems to make it. I hope your income will go down and you will understand that bad service and faulty products are not sustainable in the long run.

[lost river]

i don´t wanna be that guy, but didn´t the last syndicate xp event run longer than the current one?nvm, last time we got syndicate xp from the bp which helped me finish it

[vocal hawk]

Be that guy, scopely are ridiculous and need to be told as such. Never known such an incompetent and greedy game developer

[ionic notch]

Capital Games is also highly incompetent

[abstract gate]

Slowly coming up on 26 hours and no fix for the SLB/SMS...

[tulip owl]

@pseudo rune Any chance of a Emperor Georgiou event/ shards to celebrate the Queens Jubilee? The entire Commonwealth is celebrating it

[vocal hawk]

👀

Whales have a lot to answer for 😂

[abstract gate]

Yes. How dare they fund a game that so many people can play for nothing at all and not even get bombarded with adverts.

[neat orbit]

i wouldnt have a beef if key features and events werent constantly bugged or broken, ive paid into the game myself, i do expect them to fix broken things in a timely manner instead of just pilling on more stuff that ppl cant do

[abstract gate]

What are the issues?

I know of the little annoying ones, and a question has been raised about the Syndicate one as it seems even buying packs it’s quite steep 🤣

There’s no need for that is there?

[vocal hawk]

No need for your sarcasm either was there buddy but hey ho

[silver pike]

We are volunteers here I wouldn’t start insulting us as we are here to help.

[abstract gate]

Not your buddy, it was a straight answer.

The whales fund far more development than even a modest spender like me could hope to get.

Not to mention the thousands that play for free.

[vocal hawk]

https://tenor.com/view/dont-call-me-buddy-eric-cartman-south-park-s13e4-the-queef-sisters-gif-22806243

What development? All I see is a game that is constantly weighted far too much in the direction of P2P, you can blow your own trumpet all you want mate

[proud mural]

ok pal

[vocal hawk]

"The thousands that play for free" you really have a bit of a god complex there BUDDY

[wind fog]

So, any word on syndicate xp event? I don’t care about the SLB version, but are we supposed to complete SMS in 3 days?!

[livid garnet]

Seriously, though. You come in asking such a question after three days of folks talking about thier issues with the game?
Perhaps scrolling up and actually reading them would help you understand what they are.

[silver pike]

Not any free to play method 🤔😬

[vocal hawk]

Which is EXACTLY the issue

[silver pike]

What does that mean?

[wind fog]

Isn’t the SLB for people who pay?! Why give us a SMS that can’t be completed

[vocal hawk]

It means that yet again scopely are trying to wring out our wallets? You say you're here to help but you can't even be bothered to read up the chat even slightly

[silver pike]

I have read the chat. What can I say. I don’t work for Scopley I am a player.

The rudeness towards the green tags can be cut out for a start since none of us work for Scopley we volunteer our time here.

[livid garnet]

So can the apparent disregard for what people are having problems with.

[silver pike]

Believe me when I say we (the green tags) are not disregarding what your saying.

We have the same issues as well.

[vivid gyro]

Just don’t do the event. Don’t worry about it. 🤷🏻‍♂️ you aren’t missing out on much. Wasn’t mentioned in the events we were supposed to have. So it’s just extra?

[ancient light]

I haven't spent any money on this game for almost a year., lol. Every since I made a purchase, proved the purchase was made and SCOPLEY still refused to provide the package that was paid for.

[vocal hawk]

Well you're wasting your time then 😂

[livid garnet]

Good to hear. But you must admit that a question such as your "What are the issues?" shows:
1 - a lack of understanding what people are saying, and
2 - a lack of sympathy with the issues that everyone has been talking about for 3 days

Perhaps work on your approach a bit. Just being helpful.

[silver pike]

No worries 🖖👋

[abstract gate]

I have. I spend most of my free time trying to help convey issues and workarounds and solve issues people have with the game or their playstyle.

[livid garnet]

Good enough. We'll just put this one instance down as a lack of judgement. We all have those from time to time.

[vocal hawk]

Or all the time if you're on the scopely dev team 😂😂

[abstract gate]

I asked specifically what the issues are so I can either relay any information we have on issues you have specifically, or take new ones forward, or identify where we have only just raised any new ones.

[vivid gyro]

But if you are that unhappy with the game, why do you keep playing?

[abstract gate]

Instead I get Mr Passive Aggressive at me for daring to ask.

[vocal hawk]

He said, passive-aggressively

[ancient light]

Why do I still play the game after getting ripped off of my money and the unbalanced PVP, the constantly broken events, impossible events, and lack of any customer support by SCOPLEY? Because I am a TREKKIE and enjoy my alliance....

[vivid gyro]

I would hate to force myself to do something I am so incredibly bitter over. Makes no sense.

[ancient light]

Who's bitter?

[vivid gyro]

Nobody is 👍🏻

🤣

[abstract gate]

Reality is you and many others play this for hours a day. Yes, it has stupid problems that the team work hard to fix, but aren’t always successful. Yes, it does seem like some issues always come back. Yes, some stuff is a lot more expensive than I can justify. Yes, players can throw hundreds of thousands of dollars at it and kick my backside around the room with no skill whatsoever.

However.

If it was that bad, would people really spend that time in it?

[neat orbit]

yes because i play with friends, am disabled and dont work.....i spend lots of time chatting with friends and putting around

[velvet acorn]

I think mostly people are in the game for a social aspect. Being with their friends and team mates.
It's certainly ain't for a well polished game.

[abstract gate]

Polished I give you it manages to avoid on occasion.

[abstract gate]

Because clearly they have nothing better to do

[abstract gate]

Hell of an assumption to make.

Its not an assumption, in many cases its true

[abstract gate]

That may be true, but it’s not clear or universal.

Plenty other games out there to play if I thought this was as bad as it sounds reading this Discord 😆

[bitter snow]

I put it more or less on the same tier as random puzzle games...

[vivid gyro]

With ads*

[bitter snow]

this one's just slightly more compelling because there's players to talk to/torment 😂

[bitter snow]

ngl, if I really enjoy a puzzle game for whatever reason, I'll pay to remove the ads to give the developer a little kickback and ease my experience

if it's just ads with no way out of it, I tend to drop it like a hot rock

[wanton holly]

Respect goes both ways. Show some for others, and don’t be so continually dismissive

[obsidian drum]

Scopely 250 point pro Day. 11000 Pointe in 3 days

[bitter snow]

Except people see colours here, and immediately go on the offensive without actually considering what's written

Be respectful, get respect... not the other way around 😂

[abstract gate]

Asked what specific issues someone had, someone else saw this as an opportunity to tear into me about how I should know.

It’s a good job my skin is thick enough to still help the people when they come back around next time asking for help 😆

[abstract gate]

I'd be interested to know how i can get 12k in 3 days

[abstract gate]

I’m afraid the only answers I have at this point are “we’ve asked” and “packs”.

[livid garnet]

There was nothing disrepectful in any of my posts, yet name-calling was the result. Apparently, the "be respectful, get respect" paradigm doesn't always work.

[abstract gate]

My money’s on “oh it should be labelled Heroic” 😬

[desert laurel]

That's too hard for even heroic

[abstract gate]

You mean this one where my question to another player asking what issues they had was to leap on me like I’m thick?

You and I have different ideas of respectful behaviour. It’s cool. I’ll still be here to help you if you have issues in future 😊

[abstract gate]

Packs would be pointless for pitiful rewards

[livid garnet]

Good to know. As I said later, the impression was that it was a general question, and came across not as you intended.

[abstract gate]

Didn’t say it was a good answer 😂

The limit on the pack is high enough that it is however an answer.

[wanton holly]

Respect is earned, not automatic by virtue of position

[bitter snow]

I don't have to respect someone to treat them with civility... that's the difference

I will nice the hell out of someone that I disrespect entirely

Until I work out how to remove them or myself from our respective orbits 😂

[wanton holly]

Civility and respect are not synonymous

[bitter snow]

I'd argue that treating someone with respect is not the same as respecting them, either

the joys of the english language

Also the joys of working in a professional setting... sometimes you don't get the benefit of liking the people you have to work with 😂

[abstract gate]

Yeah, feel like we’re now splitting hairs with people that see red because they see a shill.

I’m here to help, but please try remember I’m here of my own volition, not because someone pays me to be here. 👍🏻

[bitter snow]

Or can't handle the idea that someone has a differing opinion to them...

Attack the argument, not the person 🤷‍♂️

[wanton holly]

ProTip:: try not to act or sound like a shill, and people won’t think you are one

[bitter snow]

Define "shill" without saying "Someone who doesn't agree with what I'm saying"

Because more often than not, people will call the greens and reds shill without actually considering what they're writing

And I say this while fervently disagreeing with Candle on a couple of things in the last, what? 2-3 months? 😂

It's OK to have different opinions, despite what the media would have you believe

[abstract gate]

That rules out the BBC and the Express then 🤣

[bitter snow]

If I was on reddit right now, I'd have so many rewards and updoots 😂

[abstract gate]

Instead you’re on here, and you’re gonna get called a shill 🤣

[bitter snow]

Read all of it, or none of it... never cherrypick, or you end up in the same echo chambers that social media put you in 😂

[crude gyro]

Is the syndicate event broken? Not seeing any progression on my end

[bitter snow]

Any minute now

[livid garnet]

I'm very tempted to put up a screenshot of the Dictionary definition of "shill". It doesn't mention a thing about agreeing or disagreeing with someone.
But I'll let you all google it. 🤣

[abstract gate]

None of it thanks 👍

Shill = ConMan

[bitter snow]

But you know exactly what I meant, don't you? 😂

[abstract gate]

The definition of shill makes the comment even more puzzling when it’s levelled at us 🤣

[keen ledge]

I'm going to ask you all politely to get back on topic for this channel - events, not shilling.

[bitter snow]

😂

pffft

[native kestrel]

https://tenor.com/7USt.gif

[keen ledge]

If the original discussion was regarding the AMS, we have already relayed feedback about its difficulty.

[abstract gate]

🤣

Discussion was Syndicate SMS.

[keen ledge]

Oh yeah + that got feedback too

[silver pike]

Pffft

[native kestrel]

https://tenor.com/7USt.gif

[keen ledge]

I was displeased.

[abstract gate]

Supposed to be Heroic?

The SMS would be fine if i had 40 days to complete it

[keen ledge]

I don't like Syn XP events. I don't like them especially when they show up late.

[silver pike]

Supposed to be super heroic?

[abstract gate]

I’m not splitting the winnings with you!

[keen ledge]

"Egregiously Heroic" thank you

Anyway, I am in agreement with you all about that event. I don't actually work for Scopely so my agreement gains us very little.

[livid garnet]

Meh - another Event that may or may not be acheivable in the timeframe given. Might be possible if the timeframe were extended, but not a big deal one way or another.

[abstract gate]

Confirmed though?

In which case I’ll update my notes 😆

[keen ledge]

I think Ops was dealing with other things this morning.

[abstract gate]

No biggie.

Was just curious. I’m not impatient 🤣

[crude gyro]

Forget heroic I’m not getting SMS or SLB

[silver pike]

Yep 😬

[silver pike]

You have notes 😬 I just use my brain it saves lots of info

[abstract gate]

Yeah, my brain’s full 🤣

[livid garnet]

You have a brain!? - Where do I buy one? I need one! 🤣

[abstract gate]

$99 pack

[livid garnet]

... and no - that wasn't a dig - just joining in on the humor.

[abstract gate]

Web store; you get multiphasic credits thrown in.

[livid garnet]

Cool! - let me check my credit card - the number is BR549...

Enough - as I said before, the Syndicate Event may or may not be achievable, but this is a long-term game. So in the long run, not getting one Event done is basically a moot point.

[main spindle]

@livid garnet maybe to u but myself i could use those rare directives in the event but unfortunately scopely screwed us over again

[livid garnet]

Totally agree CJHill. Different priorities for different people.

[abstract gate]

If you want rare directives a single Galactic Armada pack nets you far more than the rewards of the Syndicate event.

Second most valuable pack in the game behind the treasury contents.

But you probably don’t want to hear that 😅

[main spindle]

@abstract gate and that would be great u paying for it

Im broke

[abstract gate]

No, I haven’t bought it in a while myself 🤣

Rares are better 😅

[main spindle]

I don't spend anything more than 20$ and thats pushing it for me not everyone who plays is rich and scopely needs to learn that

[abstract gate]

Completely understand - but also recognise that not every event is completable F2P.

[livid garnet]

Getting back to the discussion of the Event, CJHill's problem is with the Event itself. Buying a pack doesn't alleviate the problem that he's having with the Event.

[abstract gate]

The event isn’t intended to be completable F2P.

My personal view is it’s not well highlighted as such (typically they’re marked heroic) but the milestones stand and are as intended.

[main spindle]

@abstract gate i understand that but a sms use to be a free to play way for everyone and the slb was for those who spend money

[silver pike]

The SMS was always only possible f2p for the syndicate event as it was accompanied by the syndicate xp in battlepass milestones

[abstract gate]

There have been some SMS Heroics that aren’t aimed at F2P. The lean on pay SLBs (auctions) seems to be dying down and I’ll be honest, I think it is absolutely for the better.

I think you’ll get more out of moderate spenders if they see what they’re getting, as opposed to risking spending to be beaten by a whale in an SLB.

[livid garnet]

That's the point. Scopely is purposely (and more frequently) ignoring their f2p player base. This is the feedback we're trying to get across.

[abstract gate]

Respectfully I’ll disagree. I haven’t failed to unlock an officer in arc in nearly two years now.

[hallow ember]

I could not get Borg Tpring, but the others have been doable

[livid garnet]

We can agree to disagree, then.

[abstract gate]

There are still a couple that they’ve pay-gated, but by and large the meta events have been far, far more accessible than any before.

I still don’t have Picard.

[silver pike]

I don’t have Picard either 🙈

[abstract gate]

But Borg Tpring was the last one I had to drop event currency on to get my hands on.

[main spindle]

@abstract gate really because i still dont have many of the officers that were released in the last 2 years

[abstract gate]

Everything else was achievable either F2P or very little spend.

[hallow ember]

I do think that how they did the other recent epics where you got shards for each event was way better than the way Tendi was done where if you missed just one, you lost the whole thing.

The other way you can at least come back to finish the unlock.

[main spindle]

I don't have Picard 3 of 11 data Mariner and many others

[abstract gate]

Yeah Tendi one sucked. It was only saved by their own mistake in scoring 😆

[desert laurel]

I preferred Tendi to any of the other epics I've had to get recently. She only cost me a fraction of an SLB win I'd normally have had to play in

[silver pike]

Yeah Tendi was much cheaper for me than other epic officers before her

[desert laurel]

Mariner cost me 11m pts for example to Tendi's 2.5m or so

[abstract gate]

Tal (obviously), Sela (can’t remember why), Jaylah (auction, yuck), TOS Spock (missed that arc), Picard (auction, yuck).

[grizzled mulch]

Syndicate SMS not meant to be finished w/o spending?

[abstract gate]

Correct.

[silver pike]

Doesn’t look like it.

For quite a few players only first 3 milestones look f2p

[abstract gate]

Divide the points you need by your daily pull, that will tell you

[silver pike]

Due to a double scoring issue (which is good for us)

[grizzled mulch]

What double scoring?

[silver pike]

The event states 1 syndicate xp is 5 points but it’s actually 10 points

[grizzled mulch]

Oh. Interesting. Still not a fan of having to spend to complete an SMS, but that’s better than what the text showed

[abstract gate]

dont worry, the rewards are trash

[silver pike]

Yeah it’s annoying normally we can get all of it done for free through the extra xp in battlepass or event store

[grizzled mulch]

125 rare directives are certainly not trash. The syndicate SMS is a full rare call, that most will miss out on

[silver pike]

It’s 200. 75 in milestone 3

Oh sorry missed the context 😬

[abstract gate]

If you think the rares are worth buying a pack for then fill your boots

[livid garnet]

@pseudo rune - this is feedback that Scopely needs to know about. We all know that Scopely may or may not decide to make things go "our way", but they do need to know that there is disatisfaction with such things.
#🏆-event-chat message

[main spindle]

@silver pike we normally have a idea as of when its going to pop up to so we hold off on collecting the syndicate xp

[abstract gate]

Wouldn’t change it in this case.

Event doesn’t run for long enough for it to make a material difference.

[silver pike]

It wouldn’t change much for most players but yes it was unannounced 😬

[rugged dirge]

So we're not gonna be able to finish that event

[molten cloak]

Very weird these memorial weekend events. Why are the rewards all so pooey or events so hard? I don’t mind hard events with good rewards or easy events with bad rewards but these are not worth doing compared with normal in-arc events.

[spark zealot]

because they want you to be busy while they are on holiday 😉
Also they just probably forgot to add "Heroic" to the events 🤷

[abstract gate]

All of them or one specifically? 👀

[abstract gate]

Shoosh, I called that already.

[rugged dirge]

In short they are after your money

[spark zealot]

sry, was afk for 2 hours driving home, shopping, preparing dinner ... 😄

[abstract gate]

Their devs can’t pay their mortgages in our criticisms 😆

[molten cloak]

Well we can start with the perfect score slb followed by the spend sms 🙂

[abstract gate]

Yeah both not great rewards. Some of the others are pretty tasty though.

[molten cloak]

I was grateful for the billion parsteel tokens

[abstract gate]

I got a reasonable hand of officers out of the pull but it wasn’t a “great” reward. But it wasn’t massive effort either.

[hasty lintel]

Tendi Event correction gift box had 1 Tendi shard. Still no points correction.

🤦‍♂️

[abstract gate]

Could you restart game for me a sec please to check?

[hasty lintel]

I did a hard restart

[abstract gate]

Ok, raising it.

[sinful sage]

can i get your commander id

[abstract gate]

But not here @hasty lintel.

😅

[hasty lintel]

Lol, sent in DM

[warped stag]

Good

[halcyon cloak]

Same issue here

[merry breach]

Alright, on another issue regarding a different event.... the syndicate-xp event runs for 3 days, meaning daily syndicate chest can be claimed 3 or 4 times total depending on how much time on the individual cooldown remains after event started... for arguments sake let's say I can claim it 4 times... for each syndicate point I gain, I score 5 points in event... my daily chest rewards me with 250 xp... times 5 makes 1250 points per daily chest claimed... times 4 chests in event makes for a total of 5k points in event... last milestone in the sms event is 11k... are we supposed to cover over 50% of an sms event by buying packs now??

[livid garnet]

@merry breach Someone who likely knows said earlier that the description says 5 points, but it's really giving 10 points.

[silver pike]

The event actually gives 10 points per xp. So only 3500 points (assuming you have the 11k 4th milestone) need to be found elsewhere which sadly has to be through a paid option. Normally we have battlepass or event store to get it for free but this time only 3 milestones come free

[merry breach]

@livid garnet which means I end up with 10k instead of 5k which is still short of the 11k required for last milestone

[upper patrol]

I was wondering what this was for.

[abstract gate]

Yep, you’re gonna get a deficit. Not intended to be F2P I’m afraid.

[hasty lintel]

Once collected your points in the Tendi SLB event should have been corrected - but it didn’t work correctly

[merry breach]

So we are at that point where you have to pay to finish milestone events now... just wanted to get the cleared up... will very carefully evaluate further participation in this game then...

[upper patrol]

This did not happen

[hasty lintel]

Exactly

[prime warren]

When was the correction gift box sent out?

[hasty lintel]

A few minutes ago

[prime warren]

ah okay, so still waiting thank you 👍

[silver pike]

It was removed as it didn’t give the points for the SLB but it should be given out again shortly

[abstract gate]

There have been a number of heroic events labelled as such. This is just one of those not labelled 😆

[cyan kettle]

Should that not be titled “Heroic”, then? Since it’s not intended to be F2P achievable?

[abstract gate]

In my opinion, yes.

[abstract gate]

Haven't there been many of these in the past? Usually involving a new ship etc?

[abstract gate]

Many feels overstating, but certainly several.

[merry breach]

@abstract gate I play for over a year now... the ones in the daily tab which last 6 or 12 hours aside I have never encountered a milestone event that wasn't fully achievable f2p... at least for my ops (33) or below

[abstract gate]

Yeah but this isn’t there is it?

[silver pike]

Those are supposed to be easy. They are mini events these are the proper big events

[abstract gate]

Well I got another tendi shard but scoring is still not fixed

[celest cloud]

Same here

[halcyon cloak]

Same

[ornate geyser]

This is not the event you are looking for.

[abstract gate]

Starting to regret not scoring now with all these Tendi shards kicking around

[halcyon cloak]

only 85 correction boxes left for Tendi T2 👍😬

[abstract gate]

See, silver lining!

In before someone moans 😬

[cyan iris]

Your not alone eu 138 same.... but as said keep the shards coming

[hexed lark]

Okay they need to stop posting SMS events that are impossible to finish!!! Syndicate event is just flat out rediculous!!

[abstract gate]

It’s not exactly the first p2w event we’ve gotten

[gentle raft]

And saying it was missed but should be labeled heroic is just a cop out

[vale finch]

So I waited until after reset to claim my daily Syndicate chest, but the Syndicate events appeared almost an hour later, and now I have no points for my claiming my daily chest. Frustrating. Can this be corrected?

[abstract gate]

No. Don’t worry though, it won’t make a material difference to your ability to complete the event.

It’s an event for spenders.

[abstract gate]

Nobody here saying it’s a good event 😆

[vale finch]

If I use my multiphasic credits, it might. Still, it should be fixed to catch all Syndicate chest redemtions after reset.

[abstract gate]

EU don’t get the same luxury anyway, morning poo time chest collections are 10 hours before event reset.

If you can make it with multiphasic credits though good luck to you 👍🏻

More examples of where using the web store can benefit you (he says, always buying stuff on the Apple store 🤣)

[vale finch]

Don't want to spend them all on the Syndicate chest though. Boo.

[bronze hull]

yes, if only they put like 5 syndicate xp in that correction chest too, by the time they got it to work we'd all complete the syndicate event as well

[abstract gate]

Honestly don’t think the event rewards are anything more than a cheeky bung of a couple of nice token things to incentivise those who were humming and ha-ing over buying a Syndicate pack.

If this was gating a decent officer or something I’d be kicking off something chronic.

[vale finch]

You're probably right. But it's the principle of the thing! 😉
A server probably has what, 1000 players? Not an overwhelming number. Write a script to parse logs and/or db for players who redeemed their chest after reset and before event release.

In theory doesn't sound hard, but it is a holiday in the U.S.

[little salmon]

Well its after 5pm est and still missing progress in yesterday's event is, well, still missing. Received 3 messages from customer support assuring me the best people were on it and still we wait.

[abstract gate]

They’re working on it.

[glossy zinc]

Was tue syndicate xp event added to the events page after the switch over?

[faint cave]

This mess up on Scopley’s part is costing me far more than 1 Tendi Shard…

[abstract gate]

How so?

[faint cave]

I would easily be top 50 with the missing 600k points costing me 5 tendi shards and 1 pull if I remained top 50 at the end of the event

[abstract gate]

The points are coming.

[faint cave]

Appreciate the confirmation that something is being done. Does make it much harder to decide how hard to compete in the event.

[little salmon]

Scopelys problem, other than a general lack of respect for the customer base is a Total lack of empathy when consistent issue such as the happen, particularly, on the weekends. Sometime theirs bigger things than the bottom cash line.

[chrome rune]

Can you check if you have a gift chest right about now?

[abstract gate]

Can you collect the gift chest and report back here pls?

[faint cave]

I did with 1 tendi shard in it

[abstract gate]

Points won’t show up in the splash screen

But should’ve now been added to the counting in events tab

[civic lintel]

Worked for me 👍

[little salmon]

@abstract gate thank you Tommie

[stoic estuary]

They dont offer Syndicate packs to 40+ on server 57. So the only way to compete in the SLB, besides the dailies everyone gets, is multiphasics...which screws people on iphone or android.

[vivid gyro]

You can use the web browser to make purchases.

And get multiphasics.

[stoic estuary]

They offer the packs to sub 40 players, so using multiphasics isnt competing either.

[little salmon]

@abstract gate 10m points added...sounds about right. Thanks for the hard work ALL.

[halcyon cloak]

Got some pts in SLB with 3rd gift chest… but amount is still to low

[desert laurel]

How low is too low?

[vivid gyro]

I would put in a ticket then. Ops 42 server 51. Have packs in my store. But don’t make purchases through the app. Go to the STFC web store and get mutliphasics as well.

[abstract gate]

Cant take any credit but glad it worked out 🙂

[desert laurel]

Can you reboot and check again?

[faint cave]

Points were added as you indicated

[stoic estuary]

Ive talked to four different CS people, so have tons of people on our server. It doesnt make sense they would offer syndicate packs for sub 40s only on our server and to everyone on others. It makes it impossible to compete in any Syndicate Slb post 40.

[vivid gyro]

Ok. Nevermind then.

[halcyon cloak]

Seems 500k pts added - same at other players from my server… same pts after app restart

[bitter snow]

Did you already buy 5 of each at some point in the past?

[vivid gyro]

Should be 5 of each per run

[bitter snow]

I've seen some at 40+ with and some without (usually the bigger spenders for the latter)

[vivid gyro]

Hm. I’ve definitely bought the elite pack 5+ times before and I have it now.

[bitter snow]

Unless it's something to do with where. You are on syndicate level, but can't imagine them being that picky... All speculation though

[stoic estuary]

They NEVER offered syndicate packs to anyone 40+ on server 57, even when it first came out. You know how many multiphasics youd have to use to get the 17k syndicate exp they give in one pack to people sub 40?

[chrome rune]

You don't need 17k syndicate xp

[bitter snow]

It's not one of the things I'm fussed about pushing forwards faster than waiting, so no 😅

[stoic estuary]

For the SLB?

The point is, Im lvl50 and lvl39 and below had the opportunity to be way farther ahead in Syndicate levels and have a huge advantage in any Syndicate Slbs, how is that fair?

[harsh warren]

This game is not “fair” “balanced” or competitive.

[chrome rune]

The SLB is segmented based on Syndicate Level, I don't see anything that would be "unfair" here.
Specifically there is a segment for each size of daily chest Syndicate XP Size

If you get, say 250 syndicate XP out of your daily XP chest. You will only have players that also get 250 XP in your leaderboard. That's really about as fair as it can get, no?

[stoic estuary]

Is that why there is a lvl39 winning the SLB in the same bracket as me? Maybe on your server.

[chrome rune]

The segments are the same on every server, just because a 39 is winning. Maybe they saved up a bunch of multiphasic or bought a pack

[naive dock]

Any server getting reports of people getting a lot more points than they lost from the bugged Tendi SLB?

[stoic estuary]

#2 is level31 and #3 is lvl32... That IS the point. 40+ never had Syndicate packs offered to them and still dont.

[chrome rune]

So far, no

[naive dock]

Got one player in my alliance saying he got more than he had

[chrome rune]

Them being ahead makes no difference, the fact that some don't have the pack offered and some do during the event, yes, that's an issue.
But just by being ahead in syndicate level males zero difference

[stoic estuary]

They are ahead by a considerable amount Because they can buy a pack with 17k Syndicate exp and 40+ cannot. It was the same thing last time. They are connected.

And not having the pack offered to 40+ was my point, them being in the low 30s and on top of the leaderboard was an example of how it affects the SLB.

[chrome rune]

Not really.
Being ahead does not give an advantage. Getting the pack offered while others don't during an event does.

[stoic estuary]

They are ahead because of it. My point is the packs offered to lower levels gives them a huge advantage in both syndicate level and SLB cost to place.

[runic hawk]

Not being satisfied enough with the game being p2w? They expect us to pay some more for a rubbish sms? Good work Scopy. 👍 Great business model you have there.

[abstract gate]

Anyone hear anything about the syndicate sms and slb starting late? I waited 24 minutes after reset to collect my daily syndicate slb and scored no points

[icy trail]

Do we know the status about the points that were lost yesterday for the Recruit LD Crew being reset?

[eager nimbus]

When are they rolling out the missing points for the SLB on the EU servers?

[desert laurel]

Did you check your gift section?

[main spindle]

Well this has been the most boring day for this game one event took me 20 minutes to complete and the other i can't even do nor will I'll be able to complete it how crappy can this week get

[tight otter]

Is it my imagination or is the syndicate SMS impossible without buying a pack(on top of it starting late screwing me over for todays points)

[desert laurel]

It doesn't look like the syndicate SMS is completable f2p unless another source pops up

[sudden ermine]

totally agree

[neat barn]

could put some syndicate in the ata store

[bronze hull]

👋 Here's one report (server 60). I realized the xslb thing and stopped spending mats after the one research until it was pulled and replaced yesterday, and today after the third try at a tendi correction chest (the first two each gave a tendi shard but no points) I got 100k added to my score in the slb instead of ~12k.

[naive dock]

Yea. Heard something similar from the player in my alliance. He got 5m points and he definitely didn’t spend that much.

[abstract gate]

Like the first treasury event🥴

[livid wren]

3 day SLB is way to long even if you're a hard core grinder

[lost abyss]

Those bots are getting a workout though.

[livid wren]

bots are useless once you get in the 39+ bracket

the scoring ladder is totally asanine

it should increase by thirds at most, not 100%

[twilit venture]

only way I can see anyone completing the syndicate SMS F2P is if there is an event scheduled in the next two days that is completeable F2P and gives a sizeable chunk of Syndicate XP among its rewards.

[abstract gate]

Thank you to the team for getting the officer SLB sorted out! 🍻

[placid moss]

I still have not had my slb adjusted. I’ve sent now 3 tickets with screenshots and received one response saying it’s in progress but that was 10 hours ago.

[sinful sage]

@placid moss have you checked your gifts

[placid moss]

Nothing in there that corrects my score

There was one gift of 4 different shards but my score difference would have gotten me a lot more than 4 shards

I understood that gift was for the chumming error

[vivid gyro]

There was a second one issued to people that were missing slb points. Had one Tendi shard and backend points adjustment.

[abstract gate]

Big bummer they started that syndicate xp event late... I waited until after event reset to pull it... 🤦‍♂️

Consistency would be nice

[icy trail]

I also still have not had my SLB adjusted and since I'm on the PC client they won't even let me put in a ticket normally, instead jsut telling me 'Known issue'

[livid garnet]

@icy trail - scroll all the way down on the Support web page and click on contact.
But to save you some steps, here's the link for submitting a ticket via the web - be sure to include your Player ID:
https://scopely.com/contact/

[icy trail]

Thanks, I just foced my may through on the phone We'll see what happens, thank you for the info

[sinful sage]

@icy trail did you check your gifts

[vital drum]

This is dumb

[sage raven]

I got an interesting question. How are you supposed to complete a mining event when all your ships cargo are grayed out and have no way of gathering the resources?

Interesting bug all my ship's cargo is grayed out and will not gather anything

[eager nimbus]

<@&509691205798592532>, its now 12h left on the SLB and still no points on the leaderboard. Nothing in the gift section on EU-server 136 (merged EU 129 and merged EU 136). When can I expect to get the missing points????

[sinful sage]

@eager nimbus dm me your user id or commander name

[eager nimbus]

Done 🙂

[abstract gate]

Got a pic?

[abstract gate]

See bug channel, I think it’s hostile kill limit

[abstract gate]

Ah, the old “post it in five places” trick

Yep

Personally I find that rude because you’re unnecessarily engaging multiple people with the same problem. But that’s me

[silver pike]

What does that mean?

Ah I see I responded on #👾-bug-reporting also 😉

[abstract gate]

I've seen nothing of that... At least 32 hours into the event my scoring was still messed up ( @pseudo rune )

[scenic kernel]

then you might have a case to contact support

[silver pike]

Have you collected your Tendi correction box in the gift section. Otherwise your score won’t be corrected

[gray gazelle]

Haven't seen that box here, score still messed up. EU126

[silver pike]

Passed this on 👍🏻

[abstract gate]

Did you score in the time that the event was down? 😬

[gray gazelle]

Not that I know of, but could have gotten some points. But i finished the SMS before the event went down and my SLB is only like half the points needed for SMS right now

[abstract gate]

I haven't seen any Tendi box... Please tell me this isn't another mess up

[abstract gate]

Ok and just to confirm you haven’t got a box to claim in the gifts section?

[serene forum]

anyone else having problems with syndicate xp not counting for the event?

[abstract gate]

It took a while for mine to register.

[serene forum]

yeah, just counted now, 1m lag

that was suposed to happen in the begining of the event, not the middle

[abstract gate]

Lag is supposed to happen? 🙈

[silver pike]

Did you score before the event was taken down and not during the period it was down

[abstract gate]

It did score before it was down, not sure about when it was down... Don't think so, but not sure. Why?

[silver pike]

The points adjustment is for if you scored during the first SLB. If you scored during down time you won’t get any correction to your points

[abstract gate]

I definitely scored in the first SLB, but didn't get any Tendi box or correction

[desert laurel]

What are your current scores for LD recruit?

[gray gazelle]

I can confirm this, no box.

This is my scores about an hour ago

[abstract gate]

Cool, thanks @gray gazelle

Will jump people soon as they’re on. In mean time I would definitely recommend starting the ball rolling with #👽-how-to-contact-support

[simple prairie]

Nothing has happened to me yet, but according to support, they are working on it. I reported it immediately. Thanks for nothing so far! Of course, I didn't invest anything more in the event - I wanted to wait for the points first. What will happen now? Will everyone get 1st place? Anything else would be unfair!

[abstract gate]

Not really. People have been working on it and several of us were to and fro working with Scopely to report on the success of implemented fixes. If it’s not working, please log details with support (see #👽-how-to-contact-support) and if there’s anything the team can do they will do that.

As soon as someone is here for us to badger we will flag that there are still a couple of players who haven’t seen their points returned.

[halcyon cloak]

A question about Syndicate SLB: How is that scored? Currently, players with the same number of points are inside and outside the top 25

[simple prairie]

I had already reported it to support in the app on Sunday. When I asked about it, I only ever got the answer, "we're working on it"... what more can I do? The event will soon be over!

[abstract gate]

The same way as all ties are scored in leaderboards; badly 😆

[halcyon cloak]

scoring late seems to be an advantage

[abstract gate]

Yes, and they were working on it. A fix went out around 6 hours ago, but it looks like some people including yourself are still reporting an absence of these points. If you log it with support that you still haven’t got the fixed points despite the fix having been rolled out that will make them aware, and all I can do here is what I am doing which is waiting to let the people I can speak to know when they’re on 😊

[abstract gate]

Yep, STFC ties in SLBs are last past the post. 😅

[halcyon cloak]

That's really unfair... 🤣

[abstract gate]

You’re not kidding 🤣

[halcyon cloak]

Alexa, remind me pulling syndicate chest on Thursday at 5:59:59 PM

[abstract gate]

Scopely: <lag>

[silver pike]

If they have the same points the ranking is decided randomly

[halcyon cloak]

Alexa, delete all reminders...

[halcyon cloak]

👀

[silver pike]

Yep it’s done randomly only way to beat it is get a higher score than those with same score

[naive meteor]

[tropic pewter]

I think that the first to reach the score should be the one with the highest rank

[silver pike]

Yeah I think so too but it is what it is currently 🙈

[desert laurel]

That just rewards people who can play at the reset. For a global game, that's just unfair in a different way. SLBs need more granularity between scoring through an effort mechanic.

[desert laurel]

It's not immediately apparent that you're missing pts, how many pts do you think you're missing from your SLB?

[abstract gate]

448.200 to be exact.

Didn't receive the Tendi chest either.

[desert laurel]

If you know exactly how many missing pts there should be, then it's easier to explain to CS with the reasons why you should have a specific score. I'd start there and contact them #👽-how-to-contact-support

[abstract gate]

Are you familiar with the Dutch saying 'van het kastje naar de muur'?

[abstract gate]

We can’t force you to log a ticket, or log it for you; but that’s two trying to help you that have advised it to be the prudent course of action. It is not for no reason, you’re not being passed from pillar to post, the people here are (by and large) not Scopely employees. 🖖🏻

The reason we have both advised this is because last night (this morning) the fix was rolled out. That the fix hasn’t resolved your issue is new information for support.

You can always of course not tell support, but then by having done nothing they won’t know and nobody will do anything about it. Up to you 🙏🏻

I have logged my second ticket. Did it before, got a copy paste. As always. Nothing helpful. As always.

It's been 48 hours, that's mental.

[abstract gate]

When did you log it; I specifically have advised that this morning the fix went out.

If you are still trading on being told a day ago they were working on it, they were correct. They were working on it.

Logged one after the event was running 12 hours, logged one just now again.

Cool. Just now is good.

With reference to my earlier ticket.

Hope it works out.

Thanks 🙏🏻

No worries. Keep tabs on your ticket and we’ll try what we can our side - but having that ticket in will certainly help identify the scale of the issue and what needs fixing.

[naive meteor]

You wish!!, I was dropped down to 3rd on a station event and somebody else with the same score took my 2nd place..🤨

[icy trail]

I have, every few hours I make sure I have. Still no movement with less than 2 hours to go.

[icy trail]

<@&509691205798592532> At this point I really have to agree. I am in the same place as Modus and had been wishing to compete but after making a big initial purchase that just turned into nothing...

[silver pike]

Did you score while the SLB was down or when the original SLB was up and have you claimed the Tendi correction box.

[icy trail]

I saw that the LD was in existance, I went in and spent, I went back, the LB was no longer there. A bit later it was back.

I wouldn't have spent if I hadn't seen it there as I was holding off on upgrades just for something like this.

[wise spire]

What's the story with the syndicate SMS? Any idea whether there's going to be some xp drops from Apex event?

[silver pike]

Nope. It’s all on the daily chests

[wise spire]

Oomph, am I wrong or does that about cover 50% only?

Cheers anyhow, nightbrawler

[silver pike]

You will get first 3 milestones. Assuming your syndicate level and your milestones for the event

[abstract gate]

“We” (green folks, just players) are becoming aware of a couple of players that say they’re still missing points after the fix was rolled out. Please log a ticket with support (see #👽-how-to-contact-support) and we’ll continue to try and get some attention our side too, but the former is important and significantly make sure you do so referencing that it is after the fix has gone out.

We did it! Tier two baby yeah!

[icy trail]

I appreciate it, and I know you aren't part of the staff. There's only so angry I can even be with them you know? It sucks but everyone has a bad day. I did put in a ticket and they replied at 4am that they were looking into it, but it's just about right on top of the event end and I'm flailing in frustration heh.

[abstract gate]

What time zone 4am? Fix went out overnight (BST) and evening (EST) so it may be you need to log it again as “the fix didn’t fix me”, as tedious as it may seem.

[icy trail]

EST. I just updated the ticket before getting on here to huff and puff.

[abstract gate]

I’ve got a note of the people who have tagged in on this and will try and get someone’s attention for you.

[wise spire]

Am on level 11 , 2500 of a total 11k points. Two days to go will get me another 500xp and promotion to level 12. Getting additional 250xp throughout promotion would just spot on take me to milestone 3.
I thought SMS would be doable by normal means, SLB by extra efforts...

[silver pike]

Tbh we have never officially been able to do this SMS fully f2p. We have only technically been able to do it because we get xp in the battlepass milestones or event stores

[neat barn]

i was wondering if they meant to do that

it was kind of a neat tie in

[abstract gate]

Yeah, it’s sadly one of those events intended to “encourage” Syndicate pack purchases (note, Prime Syndicate XP would do this for you) rather than an intended F2P event.

[wise spire]

As you speak, can't remember we had it outside of battlepass before 😀

[silver pike]

Yep this is the first time. We have always been lucky to have it during the battlepass even on the last occasion having it only completable because there was some xp in the elite battlepass

[stoic estuary]

How are they supposed to "encourage" Syndicate pack purchases when they don't offer them for sale to the most probable people that would buy them (40+) on my server? If they did, i would. 🤔

[silver pike]

Because the packs are $50 and $100 so if you spend a little you won’t see them 🙈

[stoic estuary]

? They dont sell the packs at all for people 40+.

[silver pike]

No the packs are locked behind how much you spend/your account progress as far as I know

[abstract gate]

Are you sure? It seems counter intuitive to me

[stoic estuary]

That is incorrect. They have never offered a Syndicate pack to Anyone 40+ on server57.

[silver pike]

🤷‍♂️

[abstract gate]

This one more effective anyway. 5k points per day.

Better than a one-off hit of XP.

[sinful sage]

DM me your UserID or commander name.

[silver pike]

Scoobs to the rescue 😈😈🖖

[grave lantern]

In my Syndicate bracket, #1&2 are lvl22 and 23. They have 44,500pts.

#3 and #4 are lvl 35&36 and have 4,500 pts.

#13-#100 have 2,000pts.

🤦‍♂️

[simple prairie]

I've been keeping an eye on the ticket since Sunday, but the problem hasn't been solved, and certainly not in the last 20 minutes. Every time I was reminded again, I only got the same statements: I'm sorry, we're working on it. Now the event is as good as over. Has something happened? No! Service and support in this case = non-existent! Thanks for nothing, except always the same excuses!

[unborn wraith]

Same problem. Not as bad as I at least should get a top 100 reward.

[sinful sage]

Dm me your UserID or Commander Name

[sinful sage]

DM me your UserID or Commander Name

[pale path]

Was anyone even able to complete the ams?

My alliance only managed to get halfway to the first milestone

[abstract gate]

15 minutes left, no answer so far, asked for an update two times, provided everything they might need... Come oooooon, Scopely

Apologies, 14 minutes

[late orbit]

Yeah finished yesterday

[silver pike]

Yep we finished it today

[late orbit]

Btw the daily kill hostile limit doesn’t block mining for me, i saw a previous message speaking of that possible bug

[silver pike]

Daily kill limit shouldn’t block mining.

They are unrelated

If you can’t mine on a node it’s glitched and you need to move to another node

[late orbit]

I had seen a message this morning making maybe a link between both, but i just read everything now and saw your messages in #👾-bug-reporting 👍🏻

[silver pike]

Cool 🖖

[terse summit]

So since when does the game decide who is eligible to get the Jelly pursuit event? Is this new?

[wintry cypress]

Same for me 😄

But there are a ton of people who finished the AMS

[desert laurel]

Jelly Pursuit is a 36+ event

[pale path]

Guess event was only for old servers maybe?

[wintry cypress]

I am on a 2 year old server

[pale path]

Not sure when ours was made, but fairly sure newer, server 76

[terse summit]

Few alliance members 36+ didn't have the event, and support wrote to them "the jellyfish event can only be used by a limited number of players. The computer decides who is allowed to participate."

[pastel nova]

RIP about the AMS event on 77

Impossible goals

[pale kestrel]

not that i am complaining but I thought Apex was starting on June 1st and today is May 31

[versed osprey]

they moved it up a day, i hope at least

[pastel nova]

Hearing that the Apex event is now for 2 days, not 3?

[pale kestrel]

that's what it shows

first they started shortening faction hunts, then barely running apex, now shortening apex

scopely is going to have to give us better sourcing if they are going to shorten such events.

[pastel nova]

Oof. That sucks

[icy trail]

Have to say thank you to @sinful sage for trying to help, unfortunately the support really should have done something yesterday, or overnight or earlier this morning instead of within 15 minutes of the end of the event.

[grave lantern]

Will there be a SLB for those that need the skin? I'm not seeing it right now. Maybe tomorrow?

[languid jolt]

No Stella refit shards?

[frozen abyss]

Apex wasn't even supposed to run until tomorrow.

[median vigil]

Apex Outlaw was supposed to be 6/1-6/3, so who knows WTF $copley is doing...

[frozen abyss]

And the skin event never starts until day 2.

[languid jolt]

Thanks grung

[versed osprey]

@pseudo rune apex shortened by a day and no event store? what's going on

[abstract gate]

To be fair he spent all last night as I could tell working on it. He was working on it when I fell asleep with my phone in my hand, and working on it when my kid woke me up…

[ashen copper]

what can i do with the tokens from Apex event? print them out and stick them in my ***?

[candid edge]

Beware of paper cuts

[silver pike]

This along with a few other issues has been forwarded

[karmic vault]

Save them for the next Apex event. The store will be back then. Maybe. 😛

[pale kestrel]

4 months later...

https://tenor.com/view/prequel-padme-anakin-and-star-wars-gif-12649627

[icy trail]

Oh I'm not giving him heck I know I was apparnetly an outlier. I was just basicaly saying he tried. I'll see what they have to say through a support ticket.

[abstract gate]

I do hope something gets sorted for you and the others that fell through the cracks.

[candid edge]

If you learn to lower your expectations of Scopely, you will realise things often don't work as it should as it is as intended (tm).

This would avoid any disappointment for future issues

[karmic vault]

So, in other words, on their performance review, Scopely "Meets Expectations"?

[candid edge]

It's the 80/20 rule. Unless you are in the top 80% of contributors in terms of money spent in the game - you and your problems do not matter. They've gone past customer retention. They only now cater for the top tier of spenders.

[blazing falcon]

so, scopely made an AMS shorter and now many alliances didn't finished it. they messed up with apex dates, apex ams and apex event store. some daily events have score delay. did i miss something or we should wait more bugs and mistakes?🤔

[neat barn]

it's fine, someone will be along to gaslight you any minute now

[abstract gate]

Better wait, there might be another event magically turning up, like yesterday

[blazing falcon]

waiting😂

[potent tartan]

how low are we talking here... I've over 4 years of disappointment in this game to catalogue

[blazing falcon]

oh, i forgot about p2p syndicate event😅

[cunning atlas]

So, anyone managed to complete this impossible event? Heroic steel spending was easier...

[vivid gyro]

Yep

[potent tartan]

yup

[oblique arrow]

yeah

[spark zealot]

that wasn't too hard after their change half way through...

[shrewd knot]

If you all would spend more they could afford both the bug fixes and a new yacht instead of having to pick one or the other

[silver pike]

Yep it wasn’t that hard after you got to the first milestone 😬

[spark zealot]

spent a lot of time afk in augment system though 🙈

[chrome rune]

My alliance finished it yesterday

[abstract gate]

Was done yesterday.

[oblique dock]

Very doable as long as your team got onboard with the ‘having LD officer’ mechanic

[blazing falcon]

literally need one more day to finish it.

[neat barn]

ya know what??!?!?! someone just made this argument about a local ihop that closed down - starting to think ya'll are on to something 🤔

[potent tartan]

we had a group in augment systems and a group in DS ... so completed AMS and got into top 3 in ALB

[oblique dock]

We are a rank 13 alliance on my server

[desert laurel]

Man, 1.3m is so close, I woulda pushed harder

[oblique dock]

Bet that made him feel better 😂

[desert laurel]

In general, if you server has it running, then everyone 36+ without a jelly should see it. But newer servers may not get the event until some unknown goal has been met

[karmic vault]

My alliance finished it with 5 seconds remaining.

[potent tartan]

does "unknown goal" equal a specific dollar amount spent?

[blazing falcon]

if you talked about my ss, we reached 1.26M milestone a 2 hours before end of event.

[silver pike]

No it just means certain requirements have to be met like number of certain ops level etc

[grim cave]

Guess someone can not tell days …

[cunning atlas]

Today is the 31st right? nevermind, timezones things, the in-game 31st just started

[potent tartan]

I was having a not so subtle dig at scopely... I know its ops level etc I've suffered at the hands of the unknown goal for long enough

[grim cave]

Yes it is 31st

[karmic vault]

No, it's the 1'st. Can't you tell?

[silver pike]

Ah sorry 😂😂 I’m half asleep rn doing other things

[grim cave]

Well its 31st for me and apex started

[karmic vault]

It's your imagination, it's 6/1 in Scopelyland, can't you tell?

[spark zealot]

maybe servers got transferred to Australia by accident... 😉

[grim cave]

And last day of memorial day going on also

[crystal stream]

It would have been nice if you have given any FTP path way to finish syndicate advancement - SMS

[cunning atlas]

So let's do what @pseudo rune said; @keen ledge APEX started! Too early... 🤣

[native kestrel]

I'm sorry. Jess is unavailable for the duration of Apex. Please tag Eco instead.

Lol

[silver pike]

Tbh 3/4 milestones can be done f2p. In the past the event was only doable f2p because of a battlepass milestone

[dawn badge]

Impossible event

[pastel nova]

Couldn't for my alliance on 77

And we got high levels

[cunning atlas]

People really need to stop assuming everyone has the same grinders and whales in their clan like they have

[pastel nova]

Well, sorta. Just recently dropped lvl 39 cap on our server

[cunning atlas]

That includes Scopleys event designers

[pastel nova]

^^^^^^^^^^

[grim cave]

We barely got it done

[desert laurel]

High levels alone isn't enough, higher level ships were just a little more in scoring, you need activity to do it.

[pastel nova]

Woulda been happy with just 1 milestone reached but those value requirements were way too high. Don't even have a full alliance, to note

[desert laurel]

A sal gets over half the value of an epic g3. You really needed to swarm kill with lots of ships against trash hostiles if you were a struggling server

[candid edge]

Maybe you need to ask Scopely to server merge you all a couple times

[cunning atlas]

Like people have time for that in an event during work days

[pastel nova]

Server merges doesn't change anything within one's alliance immediately :V

[cunning atlas]

Lol we just had one recently. The game is stupidly hard now due to severe lack of mines and overcrowded leaderboards & territories

[candid edge]

Yup, first few weeks of a merge is crucial. Start a server war, help get rid of players who just like to mine (they are the ones that take up the nodes anyways!), then rinse and repeat and wait for another merger.

[hexed lark]

Broken Event Store. Nice one Scope!!!

[pastel nova]

Also, yeah, that keeps popping up when I exit daily events

Hella annoying

[obsidian hinge]

Where do i can use these things

[versed osprey]

event store is not there

[hexed lark]

In the broken event store in events.

[versed osprey]

you cant use them, not yet at least

[candid edge]

Just treat it as another useless currency which they keep expanding our inventories with until they come up with a store to use it.

Wouldn't be surprised if they sold a pack to access event stores.

[silver pike]

There should be an event store for it but it hasn’t released for some reason. The issue has been forwarded.
