That damage buff is basically nothing

[abstract gate]

Carol is not an officer.

Do not use Carol.

[desert laurel]

123k is sooo close, one good crit and it clears

[abstract gate]

Send Carol on an ATA, and when she comes back, send her on another.

[fading tiger]

I pretty much hit it the second I could lol

[bitter snow]

Check mitigation with just 5/11, no 7... you might not be gaining much from the synergy, depending on what health you can stack

[fading tiger]

I'll have to fart around with it later tonight provided they don't get back to me by then

[desert laurel]

Right, but it only did a sliver of shield removal. Swapping to Yuki cap for bortas will do a bit more, and try to get past round 1 by stacking hp/def. If you can do that you'll get 3 rounds of strip from Yuki

[bitter snow]

All depends on what officers you have though 😐

[somber summit]

Hey all I take it still no word on the pike avatar

[silver pike]

When the rewards are released they will be in gift section for now. Nothing.

[somber summit]

Thanks mate appreciated 👊👊🖖🏻🖖🏻🖖🏻🖖🏻🖖🏻

[fiery fulcrum]

I'm at ops 33, and had to sacrifice 3 ships with as good as crew as I could muster to get that shield down so my Cent could kill it with about 10% hull left.

[silver pike]

🙈🙈

[cobalt dew]

Hey @pseudo rune sorry if you're swamped but is there an actual time frame for them giving out the rewards on the pike avatar slb ?

[reef otter]

Out of curiosity, what ops are you? I'm ops 31 with maxed ships, can't kill this Breakthrough mission LVL 25 hostile either. I watched several players ops 30's and 31 also die on it. But I can easily kill LVL 39 mission hostiles.

[shrewd geyser]

then I have no hope at ops26 to beat it

[novel imp]

Do we have any idea of how many/which events are needed for the throphy event? only had 1 start and couldn't finish the armada event so I wont be able to finish the spock one either.

[reef otter]

Yeah, there's something not right about this mission hostile.

And yes, I know how to crew.. 🙄🤣

[cobalt dew]

yellow bosses are not hostile targets... they're basically pvp targets... use a PVP setup (I see too many screenshots of folks hitting that thing with PMC)

[bitter snow]

Although, they're not players... and there are a lot more crews that specify 'player' now for PVP than there used to be 🙂 The important thing is to not use crews that specify 'hostile'

[undone dew]

There is a second one that’s nearly 750k power for level 25 mission, it’s ridiculous

[cobalt dew]

I think if folks asked around enough and figured out crewing + double tapping its doable

[undone dew]

Hostile is too big for me to double tap anyways

[bitter snow]

Depends a lot on what ships you've got available

@wintry cypress probably breezed it, because he's got lots of high tier ships kicking around 🙂
But someone who's on a new server and just playing along probably doesn't

[wintry cypress]

👀

[bitter snow]

If the same mission had dropped last month, I wouldn't have been able to do it either - Vidar and Legio, between 700-900k power, this month, luckily, ent did it with plenty hull to spare

But I took a chance and skipped basically everything on the way to it 😂

[bitter snow]

how strong is your tepid?

[wintry cypress]

1.985

[cobalt dew]

I think folks are a bit too worried about 700k vs 2M and not that with the right crews you can take out much bigger targets as the power number isn't everything... for example I've always taken out the hostile captain bosses a bunch of levels ahead of my own ops level (last one was an 8M target level 48 boss captain ? ) and I did it with 2 ships (both under 4M power) and used an exo, cloak on the 2nd hit and the right crews...

[novel imp]

Do we have any idea of how many/which events are needed for the throphy event? only had 1 rare start and couldn't finish the armada event so I wont be able to finish the spock one either.

[bitter snow]

It's a bit of a different game at the point where you have 4m power ships

[drifting marsh]

Just a bit (lot)

[bitter snow]

Crews help low down too, but you have exponentially less hull to work with 😄

[cobalt dew]

I took out a ship 2x my power... its not all that different... I use to do the same thing with my little 1M bortas and supporting mayflower of all things

never had a sally which I wish I had as its clearly the best ship at that level

[bitter snow]

You probably had 12 months of officer buildup, too?

roughly*

It's just a case of, this was an event which doesn't scale well for server age

which is symptomatic of an arc doing the same, tbf

[cobalt dew]

Yes I agree on that and still do not see how scopely intends on new folks ever being able to stick around without throwing stupid amounts of money at the game

[molten sage]

Why is a level 25 event putting up a target that is 2.1 million power?

[abstract gate]

If you can’t kill it, contact support - there’s an announcement about it in #⚡-mod-announcements

[heavy python]

we shouldn't have to contact support, they should have already made an adjustment to the event

[reef otter]

I crew properly based on my ship, the ship I'm hitting and whether or not it is a mission boss or regular hostile. PvP for mission boss vs PvE for regular hostile. I've gone at it with 2 ships crewed PvP, 1.3 and 1.48 mil power. Died. There's a significant many of us that can't seem to kill this LVL 25 mission boss. I personally can easily kill LVL 39 mission boss hostiles. It's this particular one that seems to be causing great difficulty among many players.

[abstract gate]

Yes.

[abstract gate]

If you have a 1.3M ship and a 1.48M ship you need to look at your crew

[cobalt dew]

Please do tell me what crew you used... any ship of that power should have taken it with even just yuki (cap) and kirk + spock on the wings

if not then something like yuki, marcus, kang (or decius) may work (I know you may not have marcus so whoever can give yuki a decent amount of synergy

[silver pike]

Try Kirk Spock Kang

Sorry I meant Kang

[cobalt dew]

you want kang not marcus.. kang is the anti interceptor officer...

[cobalt dew]

correct 🙂

[abstract gate]

None of those are Marcus 🤣

[cobalt dew]

Just goes to show you how "soft" that 2.1M really is

[reef otter]

I used this crew. I also used KSKhan.

[silver pike]

Yeah sorry mixed up with another mission that was an explorer

[reef otter]

Another player ops 33 had mentioned above that he had to sacrifice 3 of his ships with his best crews to destroy this hostile.

[cobalt dew]

And don't forget exos/cloaking/cerritos suport (you could even have an alliance mate help you on that)

[reef otter]

I'll say again, I can easily destroy LVL 39 mission boss hostiles.

[silver pike]

It’s an ops 40 mission boss though 😬

[limber fern]

https://tenor.com/view/caveira-skeleton-ive-been-waiting-gif-13523984

me waiting on my pike icon

[reef otter]

No, the mission is literally listed as a LVL 25 mission.

I just watched an ops 35 player double tap this LVL 25 mission boss and die. 🤣😂

[abstract gate]

He should be ashamed.

[silver pike]

It’s been corrected it now lists as ops 40 in the holodeck

[reef otter]

Are. You. Kidding. Me?

[silver pike]

Wow that’s 😳

[burnt aspen]

I appreciate Scopely adding eclipse armadas to the scoring for the Recruit Spock event. But I would have been more appreciative if you had included spending eclipse directives as well. Because then I would have been able to complete the event, having spent all my regular directives on the Recruit Pike event that immediately preceded this event.

[novel imp]

with what? a Realta?

[bronze hull]

oof. it'd be one thing if it was a single ship dying, since getting complacent and running missions with an off ship/crew is a thing (👋 guilty as charged lol) but a double tap means they were actually trying lol

[silver pike]

The eclipse armadas scoring is something unintended to begin with 🤔

[reef otter]

Mine still shows as ops 25

[scenic cloud]

Still NO AVITAR

[lucid merlin]

Why, after last night having both events, does my server only get the Mat Spend one? Based on last night, we should be getting both from now on. Could you elaborate @fresh peak @sinful sage

[silver pike]

I know hasn’t been changed there but it has in the holodeck

[novel imp]

shhh don't let them know about eclipse armadas you idiot 🤣

[reef otter]

https://c.tenor.com/Dtt_LFZvXlIAAAAM/loud-noises.gif

[abstract gate]

Based on a probable mistake you think it should be consistent?

[silver pike]

When they give them out they will be in the gift section

[abstract gate]

It’s on my list of questions to ask but I don’t have any impression we’re all getting all of them consistently.

[lucid merlin]

They opened the can of worms

[inner cave]

So many of the same type of events back to back

[lucid merlin]

It shouldnt be a "mistake"

All servers should get both events

not based on some arbitrary thing

that we can't even see what the qualifier is

[abstract gate]

I don’t disagree, but a mistake doesn’t set a precedent.

[scenic cloud]

I want it NOW

[lucid merlin]

Who says it was a mistake?

[silver pike]

Thanks for this information we will pass it on 🖖

[abstract gate]

I said probable mistake, and that that doesn’t instantly make it precedent.

[lucid merlin]

Well it's a can of worms

proverbial

[abstract gate]

Then eat the damn worms and chill out

[young parcel]

Is this right for a level 39? Anyone else have so low parsteel? Like 4M?

[silver pike]

it’s a mistake possibly that’s been passed on thanks 🖖

[drifting marsh]

Yes. I just received 4.2M steel for completing it at ops 38.

[abstract gate]

It also seems to be gas and steel so we’re curious.

[stone elbow]

24m parsteel for a 41.. I think this was supposed yo be dil... another event mistake.. they make billions of dollars, you'd think they'd be able to hire someone for quality control.

[young parcel]

Ok, thanks for the quick replies all. I'll hold off and wait to hear back before completing

[spark zealot]

Vessel Enhancement LB is Steel and Crystal... and I don't believe they meant 4,3B trit

Seems to additionally be the month of weird combinations 😉

(and way too much steel 🙈, but that's probably only my tritanium-less opinion)

[abstract gate]

Yeah I think @pale wind noticed the same on the reward pairings being odd…

[wide umbra]

is the new hijacked combat PVP sms only pvp?

[spark zealot]

nope, regular PVE works fine

[spark zealot]

That's just 70 hostiles so basically 1 days worth of dailies 😉

[wide umbra]

thank you just wanted to make sure before i start randomly killing ppl

[abstract gate]

Kill random people

Much more fun.

The red ones don’t send fan mail like the blue ones do.

[spark zealot]

It's the second run of that event, and I completed it last week without doing any pvp at all while being shielded... soooo 😉

[wide umbra]

Killing OC miners with the Disco is fun

[spark zealot]

I'm quite sure the disco will not count as an augment ship... 😉

[crystal stream]

The bonus refinery is nice but you have some major issues with it.

1. I routinely get more uncom/rare mats off the normal refineries than I do off the bonuses refineries for the same batch sizes, and for the drastically increased cost, it is insulting. The cost should be the same or less, if less, only allow 1 or two batches. We should get more per batch, not less.

2. Despite having a chance, I normally only get uncommoms, more than half the time, I get no rares or epics. For the increased cost, I should always get all. I get more rares/epics in events than the bonus refinery.

3. After coming off a 2 day bonus refinery, most players spend their store of reserved mats. 4* mats are slow to mine and cost far more to spend. This is unacceptable. Most players are being forced to decide between normal or bonus, not both.

4. The bonus refinery doesnt address the spend event issue you have created. Even if everyone could do max bonus refineries and could do max pulls on each, you still won't have enough materials needed for the spend events. And this is compounded by the many other events in between that require power gained, buildings/researches/ship upgrades/etc. You are forcing players out of playing/participating. I know several that are not going to mine because players sre just hunting opc and doing it poorly. It doesn't encourage pvp, it encourages bad behaviour.

5. I acknowledge the attempt to fix the many issues you have created, but making a bad situation worse by giving us a bad bonus doesn't help, it hurts.

If you want the bonus refiney to be worth while, then add 4* systems/nodes to the borg systems, add 4* systems/nodes to the exchange systems and/or give players a massive shot of raw materials so they can participate in at least half the refineries.

[silver pike]

Same

[bronze hull]

Don't be ridiculous - that's a consistent (and therefore predictable) loop, you need to jumble it up some more

[terse summit]

So much text, for so little problems. The bonus refinery is as stated, a bonus to those that like to mine and hord raw materials. If the output is worse, or the costs are higher: it's always a bonus ON TOP 🤷🏼‍♂️

[sand stratus]

Your right... sprinkle in a few maintenances that don't fix anything and some broken events.

[silver pike]

No one said maintenances were fixing anything

[abstract gate]

https://tenor.com/view/cc-caroline-cameron-sportsnet-youre-your-gif-17989833

[silver pike]

Unfortunately they are breaking things 😬

[fiery star]

@pseudo rune you gotta get on scopely. These events are absolute trash. You can't even compete in them unless your willing to just dump tons.of.money into the game. Back to back to back pay to play events is just bad business. Armada event but you dont count uncommon, gain power every other day, a level 25 mission with a 2 mil Klingon explorer that also counts toward event goals that level 25s can't do. This is ridiculous.

[covert heart]

I ranked on the recruitment event and didn't get the frame....

[clever ibex]

Ohh, i am dumping...

😉

[wet shoal]

No one did, doubting if we ever will 😄

[abstract gate]

I for one love the bonus refinery

And 6 days! Amazing

[pure bear]

@pseudo rune looks like customer support tried to end the conversation about the breakthrough event here. Didn't fix it on my account or give progress. Is this how customer support is supposed to act? Acknowledge you have problems but not do anything about it after it was specifically stated here that they would progress the mission for you if you contacted them? This is why contacting support shouldn't be confused with pushing a hotfix for the game's problems.

[inner stirrup]

Ops42, and getting these rewards instead of the usually 100-500m steel?

[abstract gate]

That’s not what that message says at all.

[pure bear]

How so?

[abstract gate]

That message just explains they’ve identified that your ticket is about that and they’ll get to you shortly.

Bunch of people get them, few hours later the mission gets completed for them.

[pure bear]

Nope, that's what the automated message was for

[abstract gate]

That’s either automated or a copy and paste.

[pure bear]

I got both the automated and this one. Doesn't make sense to duplicate the work

[abstract gate]

You can either argue with me from your perspective of having received it once, or hear me out having helped tens of people who got this message today.

[abstract gate]

The automated one gives you a number.

This one is either automated or copy/paste for it having been tagged correctly.

It means you’re in the right queue 👍🏻

[pure bear]

ok, but as an auditor this just means their system is very inefficient

[abstract gate]

As a layman I could have told you that years ago.

[oak matrix]

Is there something wrong with the rewards for spock event, I'm ops 30 only and i find it weird

Yesterday we got this -day1

Today it was this -day2

[abstract gate]

I believe so , yes.

It has been raised.

[oak matrix]

Yesterday was the first ss

[wintry cypress]

It has been raised to the event team

[daring hatch]

Any idea how long it takes for them to complete? I got the email 8 hours ago and no change yet.

[abstract gate]

“A few hours”.

Typically I’ve seen 12 hours touted

That may fluctuate, obviously.

[worthy plaza]

Is anyone keeping a running list of how many screwups they've done in this arc event? I mean seriously...wtf

I'm shocked how badly they handled the last 2 weeks or so of events

[abstract gate]

I am, my PC ran out of memory though with the number.

[abstract gate]

*1 week.

That’s how bad it is, it feels like several 🤣

[daring hatch]

Ok. I was going to say “a few hours” generally is about three. So I’m almost at a few, few hours…

[worthy plaza]

It's like they literally handed it over to an intern and walked away

[abstract gate]

Yeah, it takes some time.

[daring hatch]

Maybe they did. Perhaps it’s yacht week and they’re all out cruising on the yachts paid for by the whales and they left the interns in charge.

[velvet fractal]

Why they repalced dilithium with parsteel for Spock day#2 rewards ?? Usually gas comes with dilithium and the parsteel at such a low qty looks petty and not worth the effort or time invested for the event

[abstract gate]

Its been 7 hours since I got this message from support and nothing has happened

My patience is gone now

[abstract gate]

Well, dig deep. Few more hours in the queue yet.

[hearty cairn]

7hrs =/= 24hrs

[abstract gate]

I thought it was Wednesday, I shouldn't complain until tomorrow

[clever ibex]

Bunch of no good money seekers

[abstract gate]

Do you do anything other than look for comments to complain with?

Just wondering, cos that’s gotta be really hampering your grind in game 🤣

[clever ibex]

Lol

[hazy flare]

Little question, spend credit faction for cloak doesn’t count for slb research or not ?

[somber cedar]

@pseudo rune just a question, and apologies if a repeat. I had purchased a galaxy research pack III before you guys updated the amounts. Do you know when the compensation packs are to be sent out? ( so I know whether to contact cs or not?) Thanks in advance

[abstract gate]

Soon.

[abstract gate]

I may be mistaken but I believe only the June daily elite reward packs were

[sharp cairn]

Probably not. If you have a cloak left to buy, honestly I'd save that for the next run of disappearing act

[clever ibex]

Hey, scopely are the masters of disappearing 🤣

[somber cedar]

@sand stratus there are two separate issues

[open siren]

"Soon." Such a beautifully relative term. The sun will burn out soon, long before the universe fades in the big chill.

[molten glade]

are we going to get anymore SNW medal of honors? i need like 600 to 4k

[meager galleon]

It I get anymore you can have mine @molten glade

They are so bad

[hazy flare]

Thx cap I send a ticket to scopely l buy my cloak this why I saw I don’t’ have the points 🤦🏼‍♀️🤣

[molten glade]

didn't want to spend them yet if we are going to get more

[dapper laurel]

Did you unlock it in the hangar? If not, you don't get points for the event

[meager galleon]

Best bet is look at the event calendar and see if there is repeat events that have already run to get more

[hazy flare]

Let me check 😂

Yes i unlock and put on augur, no points

[drifting marsh]

The laboratory SLB specifies spending tokens on officers; the event for unlocking a cloak isn't running right now.

[wicked arrow]

This "problem" comes up. Every. Time. Without. Fail.

I don't believe its a Scopely problem but an education problem. We need to prioritize reading comprehension in schools.

[drifting marsh]

I fell for it the first time I saw an event like this, though they didn't have 'on officers' specified at the time.

[hazy flare]

True I didn’t read correctly. Thx all anyway

[wicked arrow]

That would be a them problem.

[drifting marsh]

I think they did end up giving the points later on... and then made sure they adjusted the wording.

[warm radish]

anyone noticed that the hijacked PVP event needs to happen in a warp 80 swarm system ? the hijacked ships have 50 warp at max tier

[dapper laurel]

Thought you meant the cloaking event. The credits you used to buy the cloak doesn't count on the actual research event

[wicked arrow]

Dalogn isnt warp 80

[warm radish]

i have Uyik at ops 45

[wicked arrow]

Lol then thats funny.

I'd be surprised if more than 0.1% of the population of the server is doing the pvp to finish the event

[warm radish]

and you actually need to win 11 fights...there are no points for losses

so stupid

[hazy flare]

yes it's my fault I didn't read the thing correctly, it doesn't matter I still have a new cloak. 😎🤣

[shy crystal]

Must be already asked... but how on earth do they think I'm able to complete the breakthrough part 1 mission when the 1 ship to beat is 2 mln. I'm lvl 29 with a decent Saladin an the recommended lvl is 25🤷‍♂️

[drifting marsh]

#⚡-mod-announcements message for the announcement on your question

[pseudo rune]

I don't have the exact info on this but when I get details I'll be sure to let everyone know!

[pure bear]

@pseudo rune I think you really need to look into the customer support ticket system. I contacted customer support almost 24 hours ago and no fix to the breakthrough mission. An alliance mate contacted them half an hour ago and got a fix in 15 minutes

[vivid oar]

Sorry Scopely, it’s impossible for a lvl 25 player to finish the current event by killing a 2.5 M battleship! Pls correct.

[mortal kestrel]

I'm at about 13 hours with no fix but the boiler plate response.....

[pure bear]

I was mainly talking about the disparity in responses and timeframes between myself and my alliance mate.

[sand stratus]

There are MANY issues with this game none of them are separate... they all have a common factor. SCOPLEY

[clever ibex]

#ScoPAYme

[sand stratus]

Can we get our payouts for Pike SLB or is 36 hours not enough time.... lol

[torn matrix]

What are they doing to fix it? I have some alliance members that are waiting as well. One is over 24 hours

[drifting spoke]

Still waiting for my fix, most of my alliance members don't have it resolved either

[shut vortex]

I've got a problem with SNW Mission Pt 2. The Hostile in K'amai System for Breakthrough Pt 2 of 5 is way above my ability to defeat even using 3 ships.

[tight otter]

At least you got a response, I didn't get anything @pseudo rune something this widespread shouldn't really be solved by telling us to put in a ticket

[abstract gate]

Im over 24 hours as well

[pseudo rune]

I followed up on this and they are still being prioritized and should be gotten to shortly!

[pseudo rune]

I appreciate the feedback and in the future I'll try and see if we can resolve an issue like this in a different way

[tight otter]

So if they don't respond to us what's our next step?

[clever ibex]

@pseudo rune

1st thanks for the added sms
2nd it only proves you can fix things in a hurry and not drag us by telling us "talk to customer support"!!!

[wicked parcel]

Is there any follow-up on the SNW Pike Avatar SLB? It’s been more than 24 hours and still no rewards or update.

[clever ibex]

You probably have nothing to do against them

[native cave]

Are they doing anything about that 2.1 mill boss on the BreakThrough Mission

[simple prairie]

Very kind to make the Spock event easier for everyone. Those who started the Armadas yesterday to make it will now also get a refund? We could have saved ourselves the trouble. I'm still waiting for my Pike avatar too....

[cobalt dew]

The avatar and slb trophy... support said it would be sent out "shortly" a day ago at this point

[drifting marsh]

Yes. Check the announcements #⚡-mod-announcements message

[abstract gate]

Is anybody else going to be short 16 SNW Spock shards after this bp ends

Maybe some

He’s in the new recruit chest. Since we’re only a week in I’d expect some more recruit pulls

[zinc marsh]

Scopely: runs hijacked ship PvP
Player base: "this was ok"
Scopely: not on our watch. Let's move it to an unreachable system
Player base: "what's on TV tonight?"

[abstract gate]

Just fyi, these concerns were there the first run as well.

[somber cedar]

Thanks! It would be good if it was still during the event otherwise we will be at a disadvantage... enjoy your day.

[warm quest]

It's in a unreachable system?

[zinc marsh]

Fair enough. My hijacked Lego is only warp 36. I got a few kills last time and it was quite enjoyable testing crews

[abstract gate]

Yeah can imagine

[warm quest]

What Ops are you if the event system is unreachable? I'm so confused.

[abstract gate]

There’s event runs that need like warp 80

[zinc marsh]

One system is. The other is empty 😄 not sure why they moved it to a swarm system tbh.

[warm quest]

I think most people are just doing it with killing hostiles. But yeah I just checked for me it's in the 39 and 35 swarm systems.

[abstract gate]

My personal take is, there’s tons to work on / fix at the moment, so an event that’s completable with some 60 hostiles doesn’t get priority

[warm quest]

Plus you can do it in the 35 swarm system. It's only 1 of the 2 systems that can't be reached unless you Disco.

[abstract gate]

To be frank I haven’t investigated this at all, but seen reports of people who couldn’t finish at all. Don’t know which is true but yeah. There’s a good alternative 🙂

[zinc marsh]

I enjoy the events that neutralise (to a certain point) the bigger players.

Realta wars
Disco PvP
Hijacked PvP

With smart crewing you can have a lot of fun.

But why does there always have to be an asterisk next to every event? Why would they make one of the systems for hijacked PvP a warp 80 system when the max warp for a max hijacked ship (sans officers) is 50?

Why should we have to use mycelium to get there to partake in a PvP event? It's just stupid and I don't get the logic behind it

[abstract gate]

If it’s not sorted in the next…. Mmmmmm…. Day, ish, then ima start getting a bit more grumpy about it.

Until such time it starts to jeopardise the ALB stuff, it IS just a cosmetic.

Now, I know that’s important, as you earned it.

And a lot paid good money for the stuff to get it.

And other people’s problems aren’t yours.

[serene pollen]

🤣

[abstract gate]

But there were people getting their alliances deleted and people have worked on not doing that any more. I hope we all agree that was the top priority, followed by the missions that gone got all screwed up.

This mission is impossible to finish, no such thing as lvl 25 hostiles in K'amia.

[abstract gate]

Lies! There are Lv25 in K’amia. There are even Klingon (armadas)

[simple prairie]

...and what do the players get who started a lot of armadas for the Spock event even though it wasn't necessary? You really don't feel taken seriously as a customer. One day later, out of nowhere, a simple event for the Spock event. Why isn't something like this announced?

[neat brook]

Kill the mobs in the system till 25 spawns

[abstract gate]

But it is trash and you do gotta kill a lot of 23s and 24s

[neat brook]

Does not have to be Klingon

[void phoenix]

kill smallers to spawn 25's.

[abstract gate]

This

And kill players that sit around waiting to race to 25s

[drowsy night]

You know what is awesome? Having a special SNW tokens, and then getting nothing but transporter patterns from every chest pull. Man I love the shaft in the game.

[neat brook]

Even if its against our alliances ROE?

[serene pollen]

great description of the event .. scoply

[abstract gate]

@neat brook K I'll give it try. It's extremely empty in there right now. Lol Not many hostiles.

[abstract gate]

Because the event sucked, and while I would love for people to have not had to dump armada directives into it, at least there’s good loot on it too.

[abstract gate]

Whaaaaa?

[serene pollen]

kill klingons ? no klingons ., any klingons ,. no only 25 ,. but no klingons 🤣

nice joke 😂

[abstract gate]

Oh ok was wondering what was up with that, as to didn't see a single 25. Lol

[neat brook]

Yeah just kill the smaller ones. A 25 will spawn even if its not a Klingon one it will count. Did it last night. Just do it in the system the mission locate button sends you too

[serene pollen]

but its say klingons

[abstract gate]

We have expressed that it is not really great to get everyone into one system to kill hostiles (again), and that it is doubly rubbish to do so where the level of hostile you need to kill is the highest level, and rarest spawning of that system.

[void phoenix]

ignore it saying klingons...

[serene pollen]

go some blocked messagess ,. move on

bad description ,. quick fix

[shrewd knot]

Nothing like snw label and other officers in there, just to salt the wound. The other ones are just scoplys way to prevent people from getting officers.

It would have been a good move to just have the new ones. But that's not how this arc is going

[serene pollen]

instead of quickly fixing the mission walkthrough we have hundreds of posts, thx

[earnest jungle]

And support not answering of course after we were told to contact it to get the nsw mission fixed... Another day is passed

[fervent hedge]

@pseudo rune when we get our reward from the pike avatar ebl?

[simple prairie]

We all knew the event was just bad when it started! Why don't they see that beforehand? As I said, as a player or customer you feel like you're being taken for a ride. Good rewards would have been directives for those who gave them out. The rest for the fact that there are currently bugs upon bugs in the game.

[mental tulip]

[wide umbra]

Wow breakthough part2 - level 25 and you have to fight a ship over 700 power...

[abstract gate]

I did it and ran one Epic armada, joined a few more.

[glossy plaza]

I filed a ticket about the Breakthrough event and this is what I got back. In other words, thanks for filing your ticket and we'll get back to you when it's too late. Thanks for nothing.

[wide umbra]

i did the same yesterday and they fixed mine by this morning but now im on part 2 and theres another high leveled power ship

[mental tulip]

https://tenor.com/view/hearties-lucas-wcth-when-calls-the-heart-good-surprises-gif-16688506

[wide umbra]

@pseudo rune is this what you call balanced ?

[glossy plaza]

I think I can take the one in part 2. It's the 2 million Klingon in part 1 that I can't beat. But still, you're right. These missions need to be built for the levels they say should be able to do them.

[wide umbra]

im barely at 300 power grinding for like 2 weeks straight to get this far with one ship

[silver pike]

Even after events end they can still give you the points and rewards from the events.

It looks like the communication side of CS and the where the real work side are moving at different speeds

[quartz wren]

Thanks for the announcement, but it does have 3 typos in it.

[pastel flower]

anyone know what these are? am i suuposed to use them or not?

[pseudo rune]

Please ask for assistance on this one as well Specter =]

[glossy plaza]

True. But if they did it right the first time this wouldn't happen. If they want my money (and we all know they do) they need to give us a good experience. There's no reason why this should happen.

[wide umbra]

ok thank you, i have been reading here and will try to hit it with 3 ships and see how that go's, lets hope the next parts do not give the same surprise's

[pseudo rune]

I hope so either, but I haven't heard about anymore surprises

I'm declaring this a surprise free zone

[abstract gate]

https://tenor.com/view/mandalorian-baby-yoda-hello-gif-19707408

That’s the right franchise, right?

[wide umbra]

well that failed and now i have across 3 ships, over 7 hours repair time 🙂

[pseudo rune]

Oof, yeah if you don't mind please submit a ticket so we can help

[pseudo rune]

I only ever will say this to you Harmonious, I hate you

[bitter snow]

Off the topic of current events and on one that's pretty old now.

Is there any chance of getting Jelly pursuit rewards to be stratified a bit better across all servers, and not just a select few?

161 (now merged, 162), only get bps for first place, and this is supposedly because we're a low population/low activity server, but we're high enough pop now that it's hard to find any 3* or higher node, anywhere.

I think we'd all be more likely to try and compete in it if it was possible for more people to get blueprints 😅

Pretty please? 😇

[pseudo rune]

No promises but as always, more than happy to ask =]

[bitter snow]

Thanks!

[abstract gate]

I know you always hurt those closest to you… it means a lot. I love you too, man.

[bitter snow]

The material payout from rank 2/3 is basically a slap to the mush when you've dropped 30-40k uncommon to get there 🤣

[umbral sparrow]

Yes numerous servers have been merged recently and many still have the Hunger Games style ISS Jelly event even though the servers are arguably over loaded with players now.

[tepid mulch]

just checking in, the pike avatar thing, its on scopely still right, i don't have to submit a ticket or do i?

[abstract gate]

Correct, it will be addressed automagically and they are working on it.

[sacred harness]

Where is my Pike avatar @pseudo rune?

How does it take a day and a half not to get this to people? @pseudo rune?

[silver pike]

Probably had more important things to worry about and it takes time to give the thousands of players there rewards correctly? 🤔

[abstract gate]

Yeah it’s being worked on.

[sacred harness]

Maybe they should have given these thousands of people their rewards when they were supposed to? Which was yesterday at noon EST

[abstract gate]

And they didn’t, cos something went wrong.

[sacred harness]

“Being worked on” lol

[abstract gate]

Your pretty avatar will arrive soon, I’m sure.

Back 47.3 places in the queue for complaining about it.

[sacred harness]

Better arrive with a gift chest that doesn’t include Origins Burnham shards 😂

[abstract gate]

It’ll come in a gift chest with all the rewards you won.

[sacred harness]

With all deliberate speed

[abstract gate]

Well, I hope you can appreciate that some prioritisation has had to be necessary through the “week of suffering”, with some alliances being completely disbanded and others not being able to complete a (more) time sensitive mission event.

It’s not that your avatar isn’t important.

You earned that, it will arrive:

It’s that there’s a good few well broken things in the queue, and the cosmetics and 13 day left alliance leaderboard rewards were a touch further down.

[chrome holly]

What is this, rational thinking? Blasphemy.

[cunning cape]

Well, I consider it more as „the week of truth“ 😎

Good luck in prioritizing which of your issues are worse than worse or even worse 🍀 I would start at hr tbh

[jolly tulip]

Wonder if they are batching all the mission fix tickets because it has been 18 hours now and heard nothing

[sacred harness]

What alliances got broken up? What server are you on? Did it merge?

[sacred harness]

Big thing for me is Scopley takes my money. Then doesn’t deliver. It’s like if a Uber Eats gets your order wrong. You expect immediate recompense. Yet none to be had here. And Scopely had been screwing up A LOT lately.

[mental tulip]

Several of the servers that received the “short maintenance” wound up with everyone being removed from their alliances, some territory reset, and other wonderful and fantastic things. They’re addressing that fire at the moment. Avatars are on the short list, but unlikely a higher priority than the destroyed servers.

[sacred harness]

Again. Blame Scopley. And @pseudo rune

[neon badge]

That's fun tho

[mental tulip]

https://tenor.com/view/fit-throwing-a-fit-whine-ahh-upset-gif-5676618

[neon badge]

Can they do that to server 30? Pretty please

[pseudo rune]

This is an issue that was actively investigated and adjusted. The team only pushed forward with server maintenance last night because they were confident it wouldn't impact alliances. I'm happy to report that no alliances have reached out to me today with reports of issues. We're also actively looking into the past alliances to assist as well.

[sacred harness]

Last I checked you were the guy being upset about your alliance being broken up. Lol

[mental tulip]

Yeah, we could use a little shuffle as well.

[mental tulip]

No? I said the server discord was a trash fire. Big difference.

[sacred harness]

I don’t care. I just want an update on when @pseudo rune is getting me my avatar lol

[mental tulip]

Before next Friday.

[pseudo rune]

Actively being worked on and I'll let everyone know when it's being shipped out

[sacred harness]

Thank you

[silver pike]

Some players never got a response but did have the mission bypassed

[mental tulip]

I feel like that’s almost better.

[sacred harness]

Also I will use the new Pike avatar for a day at best and then switch back to my normal Spock avatar.

[silver pike]

By the looks of things it seems that the tickets are being handled quicker than the actual bypassing of the mission

[jolly tulip]

Mine was just done then

[minor crystal]

Todays recruit event closed and did not pay out rewards. Apologies if I’m repeating but support has not responded and it’s becoming a running list in the ticket now.

[jolly tulip]

Was online and saw it happen

Thanks support

[ripe elk]

I would like it if they spent the next BP on QoL and bug fixes.

I'm also not seeing this desealing rod turn in

[vivid gyro]

My next server I am probably going to recommend a bi-monthly BP roll out.

[vivid gyro]

I believe you have to have the unlock available first

[ripe elk]

the broken desealing rod that is

[silver pike]

Do you have the 700 points done yet?

[ripe elk]

yup

[silver pike]

1 second I will pass this on

[ripe elk]

I have 1080 broken desealing rods

wait, do you mean to fill the treasury? I was thinking to turn in desealing rods

[neon badge]

U need 4k broken

[ripe elk]

ohh

😭

[neon badge]

Indeed

[silver pike]

Yep

[ripe elk]

every time I see wesley crusher, I cry.

sometimes just on the inside

[neon badge]

If I had a nickel every time I heard that I could get unlock the treasury for sure

Also hope you know I was just quoting the meme

Wasn't actually directed at you

Lol no offense taken

3 years in I may have seen that meme a couple of times😂

[pseudo rune]

SHOCKING

I NEVER would have thought that

[neon badge]

Ikr

[silver pike]

👀

[wicked parcel]

So we’re learning our lesson about expending cash and in-game resources for such things, it appears. I sincerely hope the amount of time spent waiting for the fix is taken into consideration when dispensing any compensation and rewards.

[neon badge]

Free pilums for everyone I say

[ripe elk]

i'm still waiting for the ticket I submitted about the klingon quest

[ripe elk]

always spoiling my fun with ice cream....

[ripe elk]

@pseudo rune you said yo submit a ticket for this quest right?

[desert laurel]

That's the one, yes.

[gray ravine]

Ok, what's the secret to this Breakthrough missions? I'm at the part where I have to kill four, level 25 Klingon ships. I've killed a dozen or more, all different types, and only one has registered. What am I missing?

[livid garnet]

Kill any level 25 hostile in that particular system. you may have to kill 23s and 24s to scare up a 25.

It doesn't have to be a klingon 25.

[gray ravine]

I've done that. I've been in that system for 30 minutes

[livid garnet]

IIRC, the K'Amia system. If you view the mission and tap on Locate, it will make sure you're in the right system.

[desert laurel]

You can run green armadas there if you'd rather have a more passive task

[wanton holly]

Pilae

[ornate geyser]

It has to be 25s in that system, even though they aren’t actually Klingon, lol.

[open siren]

I think you need to kill the ones in the target system. Even though they're not Klingons. Armadas in that system work too.

[desert laurel]

Pila

[wide umbra]

why does the franklin not match swarm power levels with research and bonus's?

[wintry barn]

How does one score points here? I bought Federation Recruits in the faction store but my score didn't go up at all

[wide umbra]

i can easily kill level 20's in my level 10 franklin even though it says very hard

[livid garnet]

Promote Officers that cost Faction Credits to promote.

[wintry barn]

Oh okay, thanks!

[livid garnet]

@wide umbra The Franklin has a 6k Damage multiplier.

[wide umbra]

ay but when you select the swarm it doesn't reflect that

[livid garnet]

That's because the screen is showing your base power without the multiplier

[wide umbra]

but why would it not show that... lol

[open siren]

because... Scopely.

[wide umbra]

im guessing the same goes for other ship multipliers

[livid garnet]

🤷‍♂️ IKR? - You'll get used to ignoring those numbers with the Franklin and the Stella, which also hhas a "multiplier".

[sweet shore]

And the Vi’Dar has one too

[keen mist]

Situational "multipliers" are not reflected in a ship's power number.

[open siren]

And if you want to be precise, don't forget about the Mayflower and other ships that have special anti-faction bonuses. I doubt those are reflected.

[lime eagle]

4000 rods. Such garbage

[ember walrus]

Slightly better than $100 or nothing

[magic flare]

When can we expect to see the pike avatar and the trophy points for the asl awarded. And the refund for the new research materials?

[tight otter]

Woah refund, remember the first rule of acquisition

[wide yew]

Anyone know what happened with that pike avatar event?

I didn’t get my rewards

[covert heart]

its a known issue

wait for it

[neon badge]

You know since the treasury contents are such garbage and this arc has been a total dumpster fire, I think scopely should just give away unsealing rods this month as apology

Thanks for the Bonus refinery, but that doesn't quite correspond to the level of awfulness that June has been

[abstract gate]

I think they need to give out a few compensation gifts

One for the entire game being un-login-able for minutes

Another for the horrible timing of 3 armada events back to back

Another for the Pike lbs not working

And finally one to the players who cannot beat the "level 25 reccomended" mission

[pure bear]

If you read the original events announcement, these missions were 15+. They keep moving the target, but I think it did include the "may change" clause

[vivid gyro]

Nah

[balmy steppe]

You know, they could just update that mission and lower the power of that two million ship. For a level 26, 2 million is too high for any ship to handle. I’d rather not complete this mission. I have never submitted a ticket in this game. Ever. I don’t want to start.

[clever ibex]

Part 2 is destroy an almost 800k ship, againt not many can do that @pseudo rune

[abstract gate]

CS has been informed to complete if for you if you write them

[abstract gate]

Im sure scopely hadn’t considered that 😱😱 all jokes aside though they’ve given you a way. Don’t take it, it’s on you.

[balmy steppe]

Wouldn’t know how to submit anything anyway.

[abstract gate]

#👽-how-to-contact-support

[cunning radish]

twice a year I believe

28 day chests + end of arcs

[stiff raft]

You get 360 per month....;(

And need 4000 for 1

[random tide]

and 360 for completing overflow

so if you compelte every bp, 6 months per free one

See? So 6 months for a free lockbox isn't bad

[dapper drum]

you also get them from arc event

[cunning radish]

its free

one a year wud even be good

its FREE

[abstract gate]

Two free packs per year when initially there was nothing 👀

[dapper drum]

not good enough

I WANT IT ALL!

@pseudo rune I have contacted support for part 2 of SNW, i can't beat an almost 800k ship. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!!!

[abstract gate]

That you contacted support 👀? Not really it’s what they’re there for?

[native kestrel]

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

[clever ibex]

Lol

My Saladin is 500k, recommendations for crew to try an beat that ship in Breakthrough Part 2?

[desert laurel]

You should give up already, and contact CS and ask them for a bypass.

[clever ibex]

I did

[abstract gate]

He refers to the 800k ship not the 2.1M one

Also mightily impatient

[desert laurel]

the 800k? that's easy, did you try yet?

[clever ibex]

Yes

[desert laurel]

Did you crit on the first 3 attacks?

[safe river]

How did you pass the 2.1m but not the 800k?

[abstract gate]

Support did

[lethal creek]

Hello, how should I please complete the quest SNW-Missoin Part 2 - EMS. she is on level25 but i should be one
2000k ship kill. But that's impossible. Greetings.

[desert laurel]

CS will bypass both for you if you're incapable, but 500k should be able to do the 2nd one with some crewing

[safe river]

Oh so they actually only bypass the 1 ship. Did not know that.

[clever ibex]

What crew?

[desert laurel]

Let's see the battle report of your first attempt

They can bypass 2 ships now if necessary.

[desert laurel]

Post a pic of your available officers

And did you crit your first shot in that attempt?

[empty willow]

@pseudo rune how are you supposed to complete SNW PT2?

[wide umbra]

Wow its like none reads the questions already asked here

[abstract gate]

You must be new here 😂

[empty willow]

Waiting on customer support to answer.

[abstract gate]

There you go

[empty willow]

Well yay that means there will be no answer.

[abstract gate]

It’s 2.5 days before the event is done.

Eco is asleep and so is CS

[desert laurel]

I'd try Yuki Kirk Spock(rare). Also, did you crit last time? and how many rounds did you last?

[safe river]

They need to get rid of these huuuumans and replace them with AI's even Borg won't be good as they need to recharge their batteries as well. 🤣

[clever ibex]

Lasted 3 rounds

[dapper drum]

a true pro uses prepaid cards to hide their embarrassment

[clever ibex]

Who is in the cap's chair?

[desert laurel]

Besides that crew,
Bones Kirk Spock
Kirk Spock Bones
and captains are listed first

Also Moreau Kirk Spock, charge her ability first on a hostile

[clever ibex]

What version of kirk? Cadet? Epic kirk?

[desert laurel]

Epic

[hearty island]

Rare: The three Yuki, Decius, B. Crusher should also be useful with his available officers for that mission hostile. Yuki gets rid of shield. B. crusher extends life and Decius increases criticals if I remember right

[desert laurel]

Decius is a maybe, but bev is only reds

I'm not all that convinced Yuki's the move for captain, the fight's too short, and they really only need one crit with the main gun to break the shield

There might be value in increasing mitigation stats since the current value is so low, but the officers available are pretty slim

If going that route, maybe Zhou is the move. Anyway, waiting to see the results from the earlier runs

[hearty island]

Given that this is a saladin, going after hull breach might be also worth to try

[dapper drum]

Cant skimp on officers

[desert laurel]

From who though? I don't see very many HB options

[dapper drum]

Buy those faction tokens daily, max out your basics so you get TPs and get good officers

Kang with mara and kerla is a boss killing crew for saladin before you can get better ones

[desert laurel]

Officer development is too low for TPs, unfortunately

But yeah, for future fights, that'd be awesome

[dapper drum]

The old days when you were getting TPs by time you hit ops30

[cunning radish]

your FACE is awesome

https://tenor.com/view/how-bout-that-gif-7890741

[hearty island]

Krell as cap, Kerla, Martok - never tried but they might fit to an offensive approach for a saladin

[dapper drum]

have to remember yellow is not hostile

so any ability that says against hostiles won't work

[desert laurel]

Which one are you pointing out?

[hearty island]

By the way a saladin at 500k is pretty low even for lvl 28 - But I might remember that wrong. If I remember correctly 800k for a saladin should be relatively easy to achieve

[abstract gate]

It’s the first ops level it can be built

Bit hard to judge then

For all we know he built it yesterday

[hearty island]

I built the Centurion on level 28. I could level (without paying) to significantly more. But I had saved significant 3* because I skipped lvl 26 ships

[clever ibex]

So close

[desert laurel]

What round did you make it to?

[clever ibex]

6

Try attack with 2 ships?

[desert laurel]

Double-tap would get you the win then

[warped stag]

Now stick Bones as captain

[hearty island]

Do you have exocomps (defense/health/attack) ?

[clever ibex]

Yes

[hearty island]

try that with same crew

[desert laurel]

What are your ship's ATK/DEF/HP stats?

[clever ibex]

What are all those names?

[dapper drum]

when you load officers

[dapper drum]

you get a percent on the right of how much their stats boost you

[desert laurel]

I'm trying to determine the necessity of Kirk as cap

[dapper drum]

70% boost with synergy

and low power bosses don't hit 20x a round like high power ones

so bones isn't going to help that much as captain

[desert laurel]

I'm pretty sure it has to be kirk as cap

There was some bug that gave more stats than normal from moving above a breakpoint too, maybe double shields?

Anyway, pretty sure we're just overcomplicating it. RNG will get the win, as will double-tap

[clever ibex]

Victory with exocomps

Thank you guys for your help :-)

Much appreciated

[lime eagle]

Id suggest uhura as c spock.kirk

Or obv pmc if u have them

[covert heart]

Picard bev Khan on Saladin worked for me

[dapper drum]

khan only thing that worked for you

picard and bev don't work vs yellow

[desert laurel]

Picard would still boost Khan, and use Bev as synergy.

But yeah, that's mostly khan

[opaque maple]

@pseudo rune any news on those getting their rewards from the snw pike avatar leader board event?

[lofty scaffold]

☝️

Please tell me there’s some news, it’s been days

[desert laurel]

He stated he'd post when the status changes.

[devout yacht]

So first 2mil hostile now 750k hostile i am supposed to make another ticket ?

[runic hawk]

Luckily it's not like you are after the trophies (another collectable) for any other events... Oh wait...
Now I have no idea what others I can bother to attempt or not (I hate armada events) to get the 750 points for the event completionist AND the alb....
Why do I get the feeling that only the avatar will be paid out and not the trophies?

[silver pike]

Yes if you can’t do it

[clever ibex]

What ship do you have

[devout yacht]

250k NS 😄

[clever ibex]

Battle ships?

[devout yacht]

talla...

[abstract gate]

Stick a ticket in.

You’re not killing it with those ships 😅

[opaque hornet]

I've thrown a near 600k Sally, a 331k Vaklhas, a 327k Mayflower, and a 391k Kumari at the stupid 747k ship so many times with so many different crews and after somewhere around 5 days worth of repair spreed ups (or the equivalent latinum cost) I still can't take it down. Normally, I can hit a mission objective ship with 2-4 ships in a chain of back-to-back hits with the enemy ship hardly regenerating shields, but this ship's hull goes from 1/6 remaining to full in the blink of an eye. There's no way anyone at level 25 could beat this without spending or having been sitting at 25 and only upgrading ships and not their station

[abstract gate]

What crews are you trying to use? A 600k Sally with the right crew should batter it.

Stolen from a few posts back.

[opaque maple]

It would be nice to get all our rewards when we complete events. It would also be nice to have more ways to get armada directives to be able to complete these events when put on so often. I know you supposed to work as a team but there is only so many armada's can be called without paying to win

[opaque hornet]

I've used Romulans with abilities for fighting Klingons, morale crews, burning crews, even the exact same crew you just posted barely cleared the shields for me.

[abstract gate]

Are you stacking the right stats for Spock?

It took UssiRony an exocomp to tip him over the edge

[opaque hornet]

Yeah, that night be what I try tomorrow. Kinda burned out on it since I've been trying to complete that one objective almost non-stop for the past 7 hours.

[wide umbra]

put in a ticket and they will fix it for you

[abstract gate]

I know that feeling.

You tried different crews? Player of ours did it with his Kelvin - slightly higher power, but against triangle:

[abstract gate]

Yeah I’m guessing his Marcus is a touch better than mine.

And Kelvin a tier higher.

I think it’s doable but I’m in no rush as Lv52 hostiles will smear me like butter anyway.

[gray gazelle]

Has anyone figured out what Officer Intel means? Officer XP doesn't count.

[terse summit]

Officer XP should count. Delay in scoring?

[gray gazelle]

Hmm, could be. But i spend a few hundred k it simply didn't counter yesterday

Now it seems to count

Oh, well, at least it's cheap anyway

[glass whale]

@pseudo rune Is there a way to elevate a Customer Support concern? Long-story short, I was shorted 1st place in an SLB because scores were delayed. Ended up in 28th (instead of 1st), and was eventually comped top-25 rewards. I asked for 1st place rewards instead, and Customer Service is telling me the case is closed. I don't feel like it is. Anything I can do? Thanks!

[earnest jungle]

Perhaps traits xp for away team?

[abstract gate]

Officer XP counted for me

[gray gazelle]

Yeah, it worked for me too now. Just had issues yesterday but it might have just been really lagging with registration of the points

[wintry cypress]

Officer Intel is the official name for officer xp

[dapper drum]

kinda not really

but most people know what they mean when they say officer intel

[wintry cypress]

I remember it saying officer xp in there 🤔

And I messed it up myself

Officer Intel of course

[dapper drum]

usual great job we expect of scopely

[sand tendon]

Anyone know the workaround/fix for mission breakthrough part 1?

[abstract gate]

How do you mean?

[sand tendon]

You can’t kill level 25 ships in breakthrough part 1 as there aren’t any ships that level in the system. Brokely Scopely supposed to have a solution.

[abstract gate]

There are Lv25s in that system. Kill the 23s and 24s to make them spawn.

[warm quest]

And the armadas count too

[abstract gate]

That too.

[fading tiger]

CS cleared mine for me... but that 2.1m ships still there.

[thick tangle]

Talk to Customer Service they will force you past that part of the mission

[somber summit]

But the problem is they done that for me but on part 2 the next ship is754k so can’t do that either

[mellow sedge]

Anyone know the best way to get past the the 2million ship on the breakthrough mission. Thought this was for level 25 and up and it’s impossible.

[somber summit]

I’m not bothering with it anymore

Sponge put a ticket to scopley they push you passed it but next 1 is 754k so like I said above I’m not wasting more time on it I got the new pike advatar and still not received it

[silver pike]

Talk to CS again they are aware and will bypass that one too

[tight otter]

754k with a good crew and/or an exocomp should be at least possible, unlike 2.1mil

[somber summit]

My best ship is just 204k so no chance bud 👊

[mellow sedge]

This might be a stupid question, but I’ve never put a ticket in before assuming it should be somewhere around settings

[silver pike]

On mobile yes

On PC it’s different

[tight otter]

I didn't say easy 😛 just that it's theoretically possible at level 25, they really need better mission scaling like STO has instead of what they do(none at all)

[mellow sedge]

Ok groovy thank you.

[somber summit]

Sponge go to the go to settings the legal click the bit about event problems and you should be able to put a ticket on there but take screen shots off your login page and 1 off the mission page with part 1 and the ship they will get back to you in 1 or 2 days due to the high demand

Sponge that’s the page you’re looking for in the help bit dude

[tight otter]

does the mayflower ship ability apply to mission ships?

[raw zenith]

no

[abstract gate]

Yellow ships are factionless

Regardless of their name.

[tight otter]

bummer, kumari it is then

[thin pike]

If scopely is aware of the issue with breakthrough pt 1 Why not fix while doing maintenance anyway. Seems it’s an everyone issue not a spotty issue

[abstract gate]

It’s a spotty issue cos there’s not an active player on 168 that can’t kill it

[thin pike]

So all players at lvl 25 can kill a 2 mill ship on that server

[tight otter]

I highly doubt that

[abstract gate]

There aren’t any active players below about 28 and the Lv28 in ours alliance definitely can kill as he’s killed higher 🤣

[dapper drum]

You can kill that boss with a fortunate if you got the skills

Maybe its time 2 git gud

[thin pike]

A fortunate can kill a 2 million enemy?

[abstract gate]

Ignore Dark, he’s trolling 😆

[desert laurel]

If you believe him, sure

[abstract gate]

Probably could to be fair, let me find an idiot with a Sarcophagus.

BRB.

[thin pike]

Didn’t believe him. Just confirming he has no clue

[dapper drum]

And yes a fortunate can kill a close to 2m hostile

Lowest level eclipse

Just takes multiple battles with 100 round limit

[thin pike]

Then No a fortunate cannot get you through breakthrough Pt 1.

[wintry cypress]

Then, yes, fortunates can beat hostiles. Not bosses tho.

[wide sphinx]

Question (hope it hasn't been asked before): With these new "faction allegiance" dailies, how do I know how many days are left? I have got another 7 faction allegiance keys now but I believe there was a day when they "double up" on them... what happens if I start another "allegiance" with them? (of the same faciton? or a different faction?) do I get 2 dailies? or just the one? does the first one get cut short? (if the same faction) or the 2nd one not launch at all?

[chilly venture]

Pretty sure that's not true. Some hostile are faction aligned, and antifaction specific officers work on these. I remember an anterprise yellow hostile (Otto I think ?) that I Killed thanks to anti faction officers

[dapper drum]

Yellow are not hostiles

They are bosses

Their name has no bearing on them

Now ship abilities using triangle work

Kumari vs explorer, vhaklas vs interceptor etc

If a yellow says its a klingon ship, Mayflower will have no ability against it

[fluid dune]

Funny thing is for me, I win events without actually taking part in them on purpose, I do regular things and get awarded from events I've maxed out on.

[abstract gate]

I did some science

[wintry cypress]

👀

[wintry cypress]

You?

[abstract gate]

Five goes

[wintry cypress]

Science?

[abstract gate]

Fortunate can kill a 2.4M Sarco

😆

Sadly absolutely irrelevant to the golds, but hey.

https://tenor.com/view/breakingbad-science-yeah-science-gif-5954775

Aaaaand we’re down.

[abstract gate]

You’re wrong 🙏🏻

[chilly venture]

I'm sure I was right at least as of how it was working before. It was easier to see the differences when there wasn't 8 thousand different researches impacting damage multipliers.

Nowadays most of the yellow bosses they throw at us aren't faction designed anyway

[dapper drum]

Anti faction ships/officers/tech only work on hostiles that have that factions tag attached to them

Doesnt even have to be a true ship of that faction as long as the tag is there

PvP is setup different, same as bosses, red,yellow,blue all follow their own rules

[ornate geyser]

That’s not skills, lol, that’s either obsession or boredom. Like taking down armadas with Realtas.

[restive notch]

Breakthrough part 1 and Breakthrough part 2 both seem unacceptable for a lvl 25

[wintry cypress]

Message CS again so they can skip this one too

[restive notch]

I'm curious, what player level would you have to be to be able to actually complete this mission/event?

[sweet shore]

Depends on ship strength more than anything

But at least 30, I would say

[rigid gorge]

I never picked it up and now it says level 40 in the holodeck. I was going to get it and ask CS to complete the 2.1M boss for me, but would they do that now it’s labeled more accurately?

[wintry cypress]

28 is enough

[abstract gate]

in the Strange New Worlds Part 1 news I read that there will be an assignment hunter event on the 16-17, but in the visual calendar pinned here there is no trace of it, which source I should trust?

[wintry cypress]

The news is more detailed than the ingame calender graphic

So there are some events not mentioned in the graphic

[odd plover]

@chrome rune question, are there any plans for another auction with Harrison shards you aware of ? Asking for a friend..

[chrome rune]

I don't know either way

[odd plover]

Ok np, just asking..because some of our alliance were asking for another auction.

[inner cave]

Your really pushing the boat out @pseudo rune domination event for the battle pass just after ship xp and an officer xp event. This is getting silly. These should be run inline with similar events

[livid garnet]

Yes. They're doing it for others, even though they changed the level in the description.

[grave coyote]

Any one else feel this

Hello. I would like to ask if you can relay to event planning that domination events so close together are very difficult for mid level players. I finished an 8 day research and didn't even cross the first objective. The last few events all required the same things, research, building increases, ship or character xp. It is just too much to have these so close together when the point expectations is are so high. Especially for a bp event, that we pay money to recieve rewards.

[mortal kestrel]

Still nothing from support on fixing my breakaway hostile. I'm suspecting by time the fix the first hostile, I wont have time for them to dpfix the second hostile before the SMS ends......

[thin pike]

Just finished a domination event yesterday now one again today. BAD PLANNING

[visual anchor]

I sent a ticket via their bot … might be to long for sure to get it fix 😫😫

[pseudo rune]

Really appreciate all the feedback and I'm going to bring it up with the team about the timing between domination events

[versed stirrup]

Hi what's the best strategy for this heavy hitter (crits) event?

[wintry cypress]

Depends on your ops level

Up to a certain ops level, borgs are a good choice

[versed stirrup]

ops35

[wintry cypress]

Then it might be better to hunt exchange freighters, but I'm not sure

[versed stirrup]

special crew or just hostile?

[wintry cypress]

With special crew.
@abstract gate ay recommendations?

[drifting marsh]

I had good luck with Pike/Moreau/Kahn

[versed stirrup]

I just have one with ops32 who made 900mil in 1h

[wintry cypress]

That is very possible

[versed stirrup]

exchange frighter with stella I guess

[abstract gate]

Ceritos dosnt count

[kindred shard]

Gorkon (c) Kerla and Khan in Stella works well

[south arrow]

Why am I not getting g5 mats in Spock event level 52 ?

Are level 49 and under only getting g2 materials?

[rigid gorge]

Thank you!

[lost geyser]

I dont have a clue to kill the 2mio klingon patruillie for the mission. Is this the right channel to announce this?

[grave coyote]

I used a crit crew i think it was pike. Khan Gonzalez vs borg probes

[grave coyote]

The also had the ship player xp evnt yesterday as well so 3 in 24 hours

[fading tiger]

Its really simple for them;

"Did we do the thing yesterday?"
"Did we do a similar thing within the last 96 hours?"

If either is "Yes": then don't do the thing.

https://tenor.com/view/its-not-that-hard-dude-freddie-benson-icarly-its-easy-thats-not-hard-gif-22694855

[bitter snow]

Conversely, overlapping events are to be encouraged, mining on Mondays, shooting on Wednesdays /Sundays, etc

Synergy between events is nice and saves time 😅

[mental tulip]

In fairness (is that a thing here?) I was done in under two minutes by spending 500k officer XP. 🤷‍♂️ So it’s not like anyone has to actually build buildings for this one. The officer and ship XP “outs” work as well.

[sharp cairn]

Rewards from one event helping to fuel the next is nice too. Ship xp. Officer xp. variety on RSS instead of par for everything

[mental tulip]

Score crits, shoot worms, kill hostiles = load up a crit crew and go worm smashing. Tada! Totally agree.

[mental tulip]

This is why I do every daily event that offers crew pulls or XP cubes. Because within a week there will be a recruit event and I’ll have enough to do that and get ship xp. Synergy ftw, literally.

So much of this game is resource hoarding and planning. If someone just isn’t in that mindset then they’re going to be resource-exhausted and having a bad time.

[sharp cairn]

Totally agree. Lately though, its become harder to keep up. I'm fortunate to be able to make up the difference with Lat. Not everyone can do that

[median portal]

@pseudo rune can we get a clearer idea on when the pike avatar rewards are going to arrive? It's been ages

[mental tulip]

Before Christmas.

[abstract gate]

Funny you say that, I proposed to my better half 9 years ago now and we’re getting married before Christmas

We didn’t say which Christmas, there’s been a few 🤣

[neat barn]

Armada Thoon

[abstract gate]

Rare where?

OMW

[gray hamlet]

Is the breakthrough even klingon ship supposed to be 2.1mil power? At recommended ops lvl 24?

[abstract gate]

It’s never been Recommended 24, but 25. It has since been adjusted to 40, but you will need to raise a ticket with support to get that hostile (and the subsequent 750k one) bypassed.

[neat barn]

Oiohhhh, that's a new mechanic!

[grave coyote]

depending on advancement. In my situation my station is maxed but cant go up ops until research is done, so stuck with only experience and ship experience to level. If we used it all in 2 events the day before none available today. Can't speed up research if 8 days or longer and you dont even get 50k points for it. No speedups left, can't build nothing to build..stuck. i horde rss as recommended, but One good SLB event can wipe it out.

[mental tulip]

I understand, and it's very easy to wind up in that situation. I've done it to myself quite a few times and have now resolved to nevereverever use all of my resources on an SLB. If I can't win it and do an SMS afterwards then I'm not ready for it (personally) and skip it. For officer XP, I spent exactly what it took to get a placement I liked and then stopped. That left me with about 3M and ready for this semi-surprise (it's listed as dominance which doesn't always include XP, but I'm happy it did).

Basically, yeah, you're stuck and they could do better there. But there are ways to plan for that as well so when that happened to me I took it as a learning experience.

[grave coyote]

Noted. Still pretty tough if you need the slb to try to meet event criteria. I only do them when thats the case.

[mental tulip]

Yep, I hear you. And I've been bit by it. I don't think Dominance should be a BP event, myself. BP events should be difficult but require no significant resources (other than repair bills!).

Not everyone can upgrade a building, or even do a research on-demand. But we can shoot things. 🙂

(Or mine. Or mine by shooting.)

[grave coyote]

Exactly. When your at end of level it's hard as you agree. I will be more concise with my use going forward, I will also be asking the members of my server where the magic officer xp fountain is, because i save and rarely get over 800k

[signal loom]

Just want to echo this sentiment. Typically we see a correction happening in a few hours up to 24. It would be nice to get clarification what is the difficulty and what a realistic timeline is for correction

[sand stratus]

Wow still haven't received my pike avatar or rewards... you know what give me back the materials, resources, lat, and speeds ups. Reset my base and ships and power to what it was before the event and ill use them on another event because this is ridiculous. Scopley you are a joke.

[minor crystal]

There should be a bonus in this pack that will show up at some point.

[blissful dragon]

Seriously 800k? What level are you? I don't actively try to horde it I just try to not go below a million and I had 12 million the other day, from away missions, maxed officer shards being pulled and daily events. I'm lvl 37

But I've not has under a million for ages now

[cobalt dew]

Still no rewards for the snw pike alb... Sigh is this how events go now?

[pearl sphinx]

Still waiting on mine too

[open jackal]

no slb avatar... and no chest for the difference in the rodinium pack increase that was promised for the research yet after 2 days.. boycotting packs until I get my compensation..

[pearl sphinx]

You and me both Neura

[worthy leaf]

Everyday I log on hoping find a gift box with my awards and pike avatar , but nothing is there , so disappointing , I have decided to not spend any more money until I receive my rewards , yes this will hurt me and won't hurt you 🙁

[sly gulch]

Careful, they'll ban you for that! I got threatened the other day

[vivid gyro]

Rodinium comp chests just came through. So check that off.

[mental tulip]

5% of my server is certainly now happy.

[vivid gyro]

Yeah but why? The research is still really expensive? I guess do the level 1s 🤷🏻‍♂️

[open jackal]

avatar came through as well...

[covert heart]

Thank you now where's my frame?

[pearl sphinx]

Wow...didn't think it would ever happen

[vivid gyro]

Which frame?

[covert heart]

Supposedly won a frame from two days ago

[worthy leaf]

Thank you for your assistance , avatar received

[vivid gyro]

Hm. I have all the frames that have been awarded or that I won’t is probably the better way to put it. Do you know which one?

[spice brook]

Lat can be used for officer and ship xp. As long as you have something to spend it on.

[covert heart]

No I just tried looking for that past event. It's already been removed from the events tab. It was two days ago and ranked 2nd place on that one.

[vivid gyro]

The augment frame?

I believe that one was recent

[minor crystal]

I refuse to buy anything else until these event corrections are fixed @pseudo rune and I’m getting the sense others feel the same way. And please, let’s fix the bug in pvp where the last item acquired pops up when being attacked. I can’t respond when I’m closing out my last 10 min chest reward. My dang support ticket is starting to get as long as a verbose log file.

[cunning radish]

That frame ?

[covert heart]

Yes. That one

[cunning radish]

That came through fine when the event ended

[covert heart]

So it's titled galaxy researcher. I found it

[cunning radish]

🤩

[covert heart]

Thnx

[minor crystal]

Well dang, as I post it drops. Finally

[warm hearth]

Anyone have any information on that 2m hostile for the event? I put in a ticket 2 days ago and still haven't heard back (they said within 24 hrs) @pseudo rune

[torn crescent]

That attack glitch is really annoying. Keeps me from discoing out after popping all the miners in territory.😂

[minor crystal]

If you are in a war, this is the most annoying bug. I’m gettin a pop up screen when I’m trying to evade.

[torn crescent]

I have the same problem. We are at war with the biggest whales on the server.

I always find it suspect when a glitch works in their favor.

[burnt aspen]

Scopely to every player by scheduling a Domination BP event immediately after the Vessel Enhancement-SLB:

[desert laurel]

It works in the attackers favor, so be the attacker

[celest ermine]

What is the attack glitch?

[worthy plaza]

What about all the press back on event subfoldefs and get the stupid error about can't see anything and having to double back

So many dumb bugs

And the formatting of the new attack and scoring notifications is off. Squeezed badly, word wrapped, etc

So many crappy bugs lately

[abstract gate]

Just growing pains. Scopely will get better with time. In the mean time we can support them by buying some packs

[heavy kernel]

Tell that to the people who bought all the packs.

[dapper drum]

they need to buy more

remember scopely profit margin is 99.9998%

so need to sell alot to get something done

[sharp bolt]

Anybody know what the deal is with the borg missions not continuing bought from the holodeck?

[faint fractal]

Laboratory expert where 40 and 41 are in the same bracket is biased. You need reseach center 41 to go beyond the 3 rodinium researches available at 40…

[hushed owl]

Yay. I was bounced through Breakthrough Part 1, at 2am. So now I've put in another ticket to teal with the 750k Klingon in Part 2. Bets on being pushed past this in time to complete the SMS event by 5pm tomorrow?

[dapper drum]

that is intended, you are to spend to progress

[abstract gate]

Tell me what now?

[dapper drum]

unless you are spending 6 digits annually CS will treat you the same as a f2p

[abstract gate]

*monthly

[heavy kernel]

*weekly

[abstract gate]

Anyone heard from Dark lately?

Sent him a message saying hi.

[heavy kernel]

I'm guessing he found a game that values him more?

[tawdry minnow]

😭😭😭😭😭

F2P wil mean unlock next year 😂

[desert laurel]

F2p should consider holding onto the broken rods until they've spent enough to get the good treasury boxes

[tawdry minnow]

Yeah , but seeing the chest where you can swap the broken parts for a whole rod hurts 🥹

It’s like they park a new car at your door , say it’s yours but don’t give the key til next year

[keen cedar]

Laboratory expert SLB points not counting

I don’t know if it’s delay but 10 mins past since I finished research and used Rodinium for new research, points unchanged. Wonder if someone else having same problem

[swift fossil]

Same for me

[abstract gate]

Nothing scoring points for me in the last 5 mins. (inc killing hostiles for dailies)

[swift fossil]

I promoted an officer, it didn't score in any of the events (lab, domination, officer event)

[crimson barn]

Faction Reputation Events not scoring either, spent 30m trit on a ship upgrade and none of it counted for any faction.

[abstract gate]

logged out and back in and it looks like it's fixed but with a slight delay.

[hearty island]

Be the first!

[snow girder]

promoted an officer gave no pints

[wet dew]

cerritos event and any hostiles daily aren’t scoring points

[snow girder]

Killed alot of ships no pints..ffs scopley

[barren shale]

Heavy Hitter isn't scoring either

[true dew]

even my dailies arent counting rn

[mortal timber]

the same

[barren shale]

Scopely ran out of points. Damned supply chain problems.

[wet dew]

mining dailies not working too

[jolly tulip]

Same issue on 201

[wet dew]

there’s around a 6 minutes lag, embarrassing

[jolly tulip]

Too many heavy hitters

[abstract gate]

Critical damage stopped counting, pls fix.

[copper sierra]

wtf

[tribal hedge]

So nothing is scoring any points on any event anywhere. Are we sure it’s not a Monday? It feels like a Monday.

[echo dune]

Same 134 dailies and event scoring doing nothing

[serene ridge]

Emergency maintenance to fix the last maintenance

[tulip raptor]

Server 22 no scoring either.

Some of us are trying to get our jelly and lack of scoring makes us very nervous

[bronze bloom]

Wait some mins for scoring, mega lags atm @pseudo rune : pls look for it

Scores will come mins later

[echo dune]

Yep twenty minutes finally shows

And this is morning

[bronze bloom]

Scopley and the servers are not known for performance!!!!!

[shadow sparrow]

If there would only be a possibility to rent some more servers.

[abstract gate]

Daily kills don't count either... It's quite unbelievable how they manage to ruin something else each day

[echo dune]

If they just got rid of all the toxic people on galaxy chat bet servers could cope 😎

In game you guys are lovey

[bitter snow]

what ships do you have?

[desert laurel]

Doesn't score in that event so I don't see the connection either

[abstract gate]

It does for my bracket

[desert laurel]

Oh yeah? nice

[bitter snow]

<40 we get to upgrade officers

[abstract gate]

I did bones, Spock, and sulu for the score I have now. AZ is an easy upgrade. The uncommons would be wasteful though I think

Arkady at least i have engineering unlocked on him so he's useful on a couple atas

I'll probably waste faction points for that frame🤣

[bitter snow]

There's still another run at it coming, I believe

[drifting spoke]

Why do we have to submit 2 tickets to get through the Breakthrough event, that leaves me and other people at risk of not being able to finish the event before the timer elapses. I've now submitted a ticket for the 2nd part of the mission with the 700k hostile. With the response time on the last ticket being 2 days it's looking unlikely that I'll be able to finish it.

Is there anything else I can do, besides submitting a ticket and raising the issue here?

[worthy plaza]

Why does my breathrough event now says lvl 40?

[silver pike]

It was updated due to the 2.1mil hostile

[silver pike]

CS can give you the points and/or rewards from events etc if the timer has already expired

[weak axle]

On your servers do you experience during SLB events having one or two players just scoring crazy amount of points. In the current heavy hitters the leader has 2 billion points, #2 and #3 1.5 billion and everyone else has around 500 million. It also seems that within the first 5 minutes of the event the leaders aready had close to a billion? How can you stockpile kills or even score that fast?

[silver pike]

Points 2 I would say 20% but yes your right either way it annoys people

[desert laurel]

There's nothing crazy about 2b pts.

What level are you? and maybe we can figure out their method

[abstract gate]

https://tenor.com/view/avengers-nick-fury-swear-mouth-gif-13421772

[weak axle]

i'm a level 26. Maybe they are higher level and are able to go after high level borg probes? They can score big critical hits?

[abstract gate]

https://tenor.com/view/your-language-is-offensive-watch-your-mouth-zach-galifianakis-gif-13885320

This is a family Discord 👀

[desert laurel]

27 can also build a Stella, which is what I've been using for pts

[abstract gate]

Stella gets nice points.

[desert laurel]

But some of the better options are Swarm, Eclipse, or Borg

[ripe jungle]

It depends on vidar tier. A max vidar with 8 full synergy will score 6-7m points vs lvl 25 borgs.

Ops 27 Stella will probably be worse since you don’t have the research to hit high levels and its damage is pretty low at that point.

[desert laurel]

6m pts a kill sounds very much in range of the scores suggested

[weak axle]

understand. High level vidar vs borg probes can rack up the points then

[ripe jungle]

We have a lvl 29 who was using gorkon kerla and I think Gonzales to score 1.5-2b points per hull against borgs

[somber cedar]

@pseudo rune any update on the compensation chests for the increase in the amount of rodinium in the packs? Should that have been sent out by now, or should I go to customer service? Would be nice to get it while the event is still going?

Or have I missed this answered already somewhere else?

[abstract gate]

Announcement says it should have gone out.

[somber cedar]

It just popped up on my discord now 🙃, well I didn't get it...so looks like cs it is....

[mental tulip]

I’m a bit higher than you but I’m not using anything that you can’t get around your level. Using 8(c),7,9 on a Vi'dar and going after L25 probes i can get 3-7M per probe. Eight of Eleven raises the crit chance to over 60% when fully synergized. Stock a balanced lower deck (Tendi and Boimler help) and you're off to the races.

When I ran out of standard warp tokens, I switched to the (useless to me) latinum transwarp tokens and started taking out Ferengi miners. They're built the same, but fixed in level. The "uncommon" system has L25 miners in it, who also score 3-7M a pop for me.

We’ve seen success with PMKhan in Eclipse, but only at higher levels. Some folks went for high-level swarm with tons of armor piercing and got good results as well.

[glass oyster]

My ship will not return home, i get error message.

[mental tulip]

Try restarting the game, first.

[karmic vault]

I had done the L25 borg for a bit and found it ultra-tedious. I don't know how people rack up billions of points killing those for that event without going insane.

[lucid merlin]

Stella

I was getting 9 million a pop on the level 25 borg and could kill them all day without getting a dent. My stella could kill lvl 38's for a decent amount of time at 7 million a pop or so. Both max level for those ships.

[lucid merlin]

9 million on crit damage?

[karmic vault]

I need more research before I can consistently do lvl 40's with my Stella for those 10 million point kills.

Yes

[lucid merlin]

hrmmm might try that

[karmic vault]

Which is weird on counting it since the borg probes don't have 9 million health...

The level 25's at least.

With the crit borg as captain and synergy.

That's where the guys in my bracket that have 8 and 9 billion points have been hunting (I know because I was in the same system).

[livid garnet]

It's the amount of Crit you deal, even if that amount is above what the hositle's hull health is.

[languid kayak]

I think most damage events count damage to both Shield AND Hull health, after mitigation.

[karmic vault]

You'd think that it should really be the max health of the ship at most. Or shields and hull. You shouldn't get credit for overkilling your target.

[languid kayak]

There really isn't any magic bullet. I have about 4 billion points from maybe 2 hours of heavy grinding in 26 borg space, and a little 'side grinding' in Exchange space with my stella and critical crew.

[karmic vault]

Well, the magic bullet is doing what you're doing. 😛 It's just tedious.

So is the lab expert SLB broken? I spent faction creds and my score hasn't changed...... This is getting really tiresome

[lucid merlin]

Did you spend them on officers?

[fresh quiver]

No spent them on recruiting shards... Ugh thx

[lucid merlin]

no prob

Word of advice read the scoring cards ❤️🖖

Faction credits count depending on your bracket.

[silver pike]

Shhhh 🤫🤫🤫

5 free points

[silver pike]

Yes I know but the scoring card tells you on what to spend on

[hushed moth]

I also submitted a second ticket just after getting the notice that the first had been completed and after trying several ways unsuccessfully to defeat the 700K+ hostile as a Lvl 26 player. I don’t know if this will be resolved before the timer expires.

[pine oriole]

Same

[weary flint]

at this Breakthrough mission is still that 2.1m ship to destroy. (impossible at ops24) should this not be fixed? For this Event is only one day left.

[silver pike]

If you ops 24 then you don’t have the event for it 🤔

[livid garnet]

Put in a ticket - they'll bypass that hostile - you may have to put in another for the other Yellow Boss, too

[silver pike]

If he is ops 24 they won’t

[livid garnet]

Oh - didn't know that - sorry

[silver pike]

No worries 🖖

[rapid atlas]

What is the level where they will do something

[silver pike]

Ops 25
