[hasty crystal]

anyone figure out the music notes 01?

[versed osprey]

dont have a single clue lol

[fierce cosmos]

So disappearing act is supposed to start today? With no ability to plan? Really hope they reward Tetryons this time...

[cunning atlas]

I'm referring to the AMS obviously, not the SMS

[versed osprey]

still no reason to demand a gift chest because auto grinding doesn't work

[cyan finch]

Who here have a major in western music?

[bitter snow]

Think that's just referring to the (music) scoring

[cunning atlas]

So completing an event for years and then suddenly, out of nowhere, you can't complete anymore because they feel like changing scoring does not warrant an adequate response?

[bitter snow]

guessing elsewhere are staves with different letter equivalents

[clever ibex]

So, where is that wester musical system?

[bitter snow]

no idea 😂

only got so far as a jumble of letters that mean nothing to me

[versed osprey]

its not a hard ams, if your alliance is active its very easy

[warm quest]

How did they change the scoring?

[cunning atlas]

Irrelevant. We always completed it, now we can't. Same alliance, nothing changed

[versed osprey]

auto grinding is not working( apparently), you need to initiate the attack to get the points after the update

[versed osprey]

soo, put the time in it to complete it

[warm quest]

If you're relying on Kills to complete the AMS then you're doing something wrong.

[versed osprey]

yup

[cunning atlas]

That's an opinion, not a fact

[pseudo rune]

This is being hotfixed, will be hopefully working later today

[cunning atlas]

Again, we've been completing it for years this way. Now we suddenly cannoy

That requires an adequate response, as this is outrageous

@pseudo rune thank you

[pseudo rune]

Any time

[scenic kernel]

if you have been playing for years, how come you don't have epic ships? 😅

[pseudo rune]

Just wanted to get info on it before responding

[versed osprey]

if you complete every sms you get 10.000 points per event, if you have a 70 man alliance only that is already enough

[abstract gate]

Please remove the red flags

[worthy plaza]

hey eco, at what OPs level does the chest go from saladin/bortas to the next ship level? and is it fixed to my OPs level at the start of the battlepass or will it change if i level?

[abstract gate]

Which chest?

[warm quest]

We did ours yesterday with 50 people.

[versed osprey]

yes its very easy

i just hate it when people complain to scopely that they cant complete an event because the dont want to put in the time

[true cypress]

Auto grinding was broke a couple months ago and was fixed, its probably just another recurring bug

[cunning atlas]

And I hate it when people assume something is easy for everyone just because it's easy for them

[true cypress]

Some peeps like to finish events while working don't look down on how others finish events

You have your way, great. Others have thier way, which is also good

[versed osprey]

well you say you completed it everytime soo it should be easy for you

[main spindle]

Why why scopely do we need all these fricken red pins for everything i got ocd to begin with having more isn't going to make me use the stuff I have it's just going to make me look in those sections more often and its really annoying

[warm quest]

I mean of you're relying on kills. Put speed crews on ships and hit lvl 1 hostiles. Maximum efficiency.

[cunning atlas]

Heh, there's a humongous difference between easy and doable

But I gotta get back to working now

[icy sedge]

CoW is impossible for small alliances 🙂 (we're 9 currently) [8 effectively for CoW since the 9th joined after event started]

[versed osprey]

okay than its gonna be hard

[main spindle]

@icy sedge Im in a small alliance and granted cow event is harder but we are down to our last milestone we get it done

[warm quest]

You must be on a new or very small server to be 1st in the ALB with that score.

[icy sedge]

S120 was started in Nov'21 IIRC; we recently unlocked 40+

[pale kestrel]

rather overdone with all the red indicators especially duplicate places. don't need indicators in alliance territory section to go into the alliance store when there is an alliance store button that has the same thing.

[warm quest]

Makes sense. We have players with more points than your alliance.

[icy sedge]

Ouch 🤣

[dawn owl]

hates music

[solemn solar]

@pseudo rune I have feedback on the Cipher quiz and the new red flags.
A) Cipher; I read and play music. I have zero idea what they are going for, but there is nowhere near enough information in that event.
B) the flags. Note some people do have OCD and sesory concerns outside of game, and this (see attached) is ridiculous

[icy sedge]

Thats the CoW Top 5

[versed osprey]

are you in that alliance with that huge whale?

[icy sedge]

9B? Holy crap.

[buoyant quartz]

Same here with the music

[solemn solar]

Not only that but increase anxiety every time you look at it

[snow girder]

ez

[pale kestrel]

what would've been useful is a red flag on your ship icon on bottom center of the dock icons when your overprotected, not red indicators everywhere that won't go away after you've been in the section

[icy sedge]

Also when you open Alliance itself, its on Territory again as well as Store and Exocomps

[warm quest]

Nice. That's how it's done lol

[gray hound]

Is it anything to do with the notes and the eighths, quarter, half and whole?

[icy sedge]

Cipher quiz? Some servers already have BP?

[finite canopy]

western musical notation? I tried to get something out ouf it. I ended up with "ECADECE" which says me... nothing

[warm knot]

anagram?

[buoyant quartz]

Possibly, we’re all stumped in AC

[dawn frost]

cipher pointing toward friefra, but still wrong.

[pale kestrel]

can add useless stuff but can't fix or remedy useful stuff

[crystal lintel]

How'd your get that?

[bronze hull]

Look on the bright side - they didn't add eleventy-bajillion red flags for all of the raws/commendations/avatars/etc throughout the faction store

[pale kestrel]

where are my gazillion indicators for the faction store? (/sarcasm off)

[dawn frost]

let those eights, quarter and half each represent a part of either alphabet, or first / second spelling of those 'do re mi ... '

[spark zealot]

how do you get to ECAD when the codes shown are actually FDBE...?

[solemn solar]

Your a note low. It actually spells FDBEFDA which is jibberish

[static drift]

There is a hint from ultDJ:
For an event today players will need a key
But that means more for a band geek like me
For the first 8th in length you see the alphabet goes to the letter G
But as they get longer in length the next group of seven you will meet
First an 8th, then a quorter, half and whole of these... Uhura I think uses the key of C

[finite canopy]

Ok, I got it one not higher. Then it qould be FDBEFDA, ir if taken account of the long notes. something like.. FDDDBBEFDDDA?? It does nto make a lot of sense to me

[static drift]

Which makes me think there is some sort of shift because first 8th is not on G but on F

[dawn frost]

if trying that direction, eights represent CDE..., half and quarter each represent {(d,o), (r,e), (m,i)...}

[carmine slate]

there is a legend unterneeth, might be the order they need to be applied

[drifting marsh]

That doesn't work either.

[dawn frost]

so, F,r,i,E,F,r,a

ya, but answer wrong

[pale kestrel]

now my shield indicator is gone. probably overloaded with all the red indicators

[drifting marsh]

As a former band geek parent of band geeks, that doesn't help.

[serene quartz]

sounds legit

[scenic kernel]

I asked eco in #🌌-galaxy-chat 😅

[crystal lintel]

Okay so that lends credence to Friefra answer

[knotty crane]

Aoro

[worthy plaza]

there an event calendar out?

[fleet blade]

It's in the patch notes on the website

[vagrant inlet]

Already tried. Does not work.

[tawny salmon]

Tried and doesnt work

[dawn frost]

Aoro

[hasty crystal]

Aoro works for Q1

[icy sedge]

Aoro

[carmine slate]

why aoro?

[hasty crystal]

anyone find out Q2

[ebon grove]

how did you get this

[finite canopy]

wth

[halcyon cloak]

calex

[icy sedge]

It was just confirmed in Galaxy

[finite canopy]

how the h* should it be AORO

[wind trout]

i'm trying to correlate the cipher with Aoro, but doesn't makes any sense

[versed osprey]

so whats the second part?

[ebon grove]

Aoro ? 🤣

[versed osprey]

thats the first one

[finite canopy]

no idea. First I need to understand where is this aoro coming from

[halcyon cloak]

2. CALEX

[wind trout]

LOL

[ebon grove]

sorry to try some humour :p

[wind trout]

but how?

[gray hound]

How the hell is it Aoro

[foggy mirage]

Q3?

[bright holly]

Why Aoro? What is the Code? 🤣

[scenic dust]

I should have married Ariana Grande, then I am sure these music clues would be a breeze... At least that is my logic...

[storm nova]

Need 3 now

[icy sedge]

Event isnt even live for most of us, so no clue

[versed osprey]

3. FRIEFRA

[wintry cypress]

What is 2?

[versed osprey]

Calex

[vagrant inlet]

How you figuring it out

[dawn frost]

cipher 1 and cipher 3 almost same figure...

[storm nova]

Q4?

[smoky cosmos]

this is the stupids event there is reading music notes i dont get it

[worn vortex]

cant find CALEX

[hasty crystal]

3?

[civic oriole]

Friefa

[smoky cosmos]

q3 ?

[wind trout]

i would really like to understand that stupid cipher thing and do it on my own

[worn vortex]

https://prnt.sc/RPXNleZ3OU4d

[dawn frost]

go to bottom right, just type it

[north olive]

Q4? 🙄😀

[versed osprey]

Fiefra

[smoky cosmos]

Q3

[storm nova]

Frirfa 3

[storm nova]

Friefa

[blissful burrow]

spelled FRIEFRA

[storm nova]

Q4?

[urban crown]

Q2 ?

[wintry cypress]

Calex

[rough dune]

Calex for 2

[versed osprey]

Calex

[slim solar]

Calex

[knotty crane]

the pic for cipher 1.1 was wrong. it shd be for 1.3 (firefra)

[amber pike]

Please explain how you are working this out

[vagrant inlet]

Q4?

[crystal lintel]

That's what I figured lol

[weak copper]

Work quicker nerds 😂

[brisk sail]

I can read notes and still don't get it

[blissful burrow]

Metropolitan Opera hotline

[dawn frost]

if Figure 1 is for cipher 3, then this logic works.

[wind trout]

wrong pictures... right... and me thinking couldn't understand it

thanks scopely!

[storm nova]

Any idea for 4 and 5

[worthy flame]

Q4? Gogogo

[silent cedar]

whoever switched it to 1 hostile instead of last months 15 or whatever needs a raise

[rough dune]

These is only four?

[wintry cypress]

There are only 4

[smoky cosmos]

Q4 please?

[fierce cosmos]

In case anyone missed it...

[scenic dust]

Has any asked what Q4 is yet? Can't seem to find it here? 😂

[vagrant inlet]

Haha

[storm nova]

Is 4 gobbo

[worthy plaza]

thx

[wintry cypress]

no

Just tried that

[sweet mantle]

I've looked above and don't think anyone has asked this - Q4?

[wind fog]

I’m guessing there’s a quiz

[warm rose]

Aoro

[fathom shuttle]

Aoro was 1

[slim solar]

Aoro is one

[solemn solar]

Cipher Answers
1: ||Aoro||
2: ||Calex||
3: ||Friefia||
4: ||Elva||

[worthy plaza]

just me or does this arc look...a bit empty?

[true cypress]

Its ID10-T lol

(DISCLAMER this is a joke)

[wintry cypress]

You a godsent!

[slim solar]

Legend

[smoky cosmos]

q4 is not gobbo

[tawny salmon]

Its elva u dumbo

[bitter snow]

Can someone show their workings? I'm grateful for the answers... but I wanna know the puzzle 😂

[abstract gate]

It’s elva😂

[celest ermine]

How did you figure out?

[brave crescent]

Can you fix the Una 3d Model? Looks not like "Number One"

[icy sedge]

They send 300 people to each system

[wintry cypress]

More

[pseudo rune]

I'm going to make a Music Event spoiler chatroom

One second

[abstract gate]

||read the notes, use cipher to see how much quarter and halves shift||

[storm nova]

Thanks to whoever figured them out I would never have done it

[brittle mason]

5?

[static drift]

Teere is no 5th part 😦

[wintry cypress]

Why would there be?

[icy sedge]

Very likely 1.1 and 1.3 were swapped erroneously

[full egret]

Thx for the help all of you 👍🏻

[abstract gate]

Really?

[ebon trail]

hmm an event based on musical notes, and i'm deaf. Wonder if i can sue Scopely for discrimination.

[eternal zealot]

The cipher doesn't say anything about how the notes shift based on length

[solid reef]

What the zhdhhdhhd kind of event is this

[novel imp]

that does make sense

[static drift]

Now I'm an idiot - how does that decompiles to what you guys found?

[crude vine]

Do it

[stoic ember]

Why post the spoiler??

[abstract gate]

He posted it with spoiler tags and you need to spoil it anyway? Geez

[spark zealot]

it's the US - you can always sue in the US...

[bitter snow]

How do you get 4 character system name from a 7 letter code? 😐

[wintry cypress]

This is the approach someone took for the first (which presumably had the wrong image)

[wintry cypress]

Elva is four letter code

[bitter snow]

go figure 😂

[spark zealot]

the "hint" at the bottom of the picture only had 4 notes in it? 🙈

[young pike]

Now how did people figure out the the systems

[bitter snow]

I know, but then, how to pick which ones?

[spark zealot]

try and error 😉

mostly error I guess 🤣

[bitter snow]

😐

[abstract gate]

Seems some pictures are swapped for some people

[crude vine]

So out of curiousty how did you do this because I can't make head or tales of it a bit of extra how you figured out what was what

[spark zealot]

sry. I was studying music in school, played 3 instruments for 10+ years each, ...
even with the hint posted in DJz discord that event was ... phew...

[bitter snow]

So it was never going to be solvable unless you got lucky 😂

awesome

[wintry cypress]

Hmm😐

[solemn solar]

A mix of shifting letters and using the quater notes (ie the normal ones) and going "okay a 4 letter system with E _ _ A...."

[smoky cosmos]

i dont have that in my event store

[versed osprey]

soo a very bad chance box

[versed osprey]

gift section

[wary path]

U have to pay $999 to unlock part 5

[wintry cypress]

Gift section?

[wintry cypress]

There is no part 5

[wary path]

Was a joke omg

[smoky cosmos]

dont see it

[wintry cypress]

Game updated?

[versed osprey]

its gone

it was there an hour ago

not anymore

[wintry cypress]

I got it in my event store

[versed osprey]

moved there now yes

[solemn solar]

There's no "swapped"
Scopely screwed up (surprise surprise) and repeated the same picture

1.1 and 1.3

Btw... @pseudo rune you should also note 1.1 and 1.3 are the same. Noone can ever "work out" q1.1 when they screw up the damn picture

[pseudo rune]

I made a music event spoiler chat

So we can talk about this specifically

[cyan folio]

Really good musical cipher. Too bad Scopely scopely'd it by posting the wrong q1 image.

[pseudo rune]

Getting looked into right now Chimaera

[fathom shuttle]

And Papaya awards points

[frozen gyro]

mess it up is 2nd name for scopley 😂

[pallid wyvern]

Great idea, scopely grade execution

[wind trout]

that one get me wondering and thinking I couldn't read musical notes, or understand the cipher, but i was on it 🙂 If the pic was accurate it was better from the start

[pallid wyvern]

.

[pseudo rune]

I'll let you know when it's looked into

[pallid wyvern]

Brilliant idea, awful execution. Classic scopely

[pseudo rune]

I already pinged about it

[wind trout]

event is done now Eco

but thanks, i guess?

[proven grove]

Thanks all for answers

[winged tulip]

tbh not sure that 'new event, go learn sheet music and cryptic clues, or afk till someone posts answers' is a great idea

[eternal zealot]

Absolutely garbage event. Literally unsolvable without going to external sources (discord) because they screwed it up

[pseudo rune]

First time doing an event like this

[gentle cobalt]

thx all for helping in chiper event (my music is catastrophic)

[abstract gate]

bit more testing needed in future

[pseudo rune]

So appreciate all the feedback so we can get it better next time. We're looking into it now

[pseudo rune]

So we can hopefully get it fixed

[eternal zealot]

Nothing in the notes to imply a shift based on 1/8-1/4-1/2

[winged tulip]

With respect, it might be the first event with this type of clue, but the issue itself (graphics being wrong) is the same sort of poor execution we've come to expect from scopely.
No attention to detail whatsoever.

[wind trout]

i've enjoyed the event... just don't change pics please, is easy as naming them in the right way: cipher1_img, cipher2_img, cipher3_img, cipher4_img

[pseudo rune]

Sometimes images that work outside of the game don't translate properly

[frozen gyro]

well at least thanks to this i found nice jazz music 😄 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XVwcRyoRLCo

[frigid ocean]

It's a mom and pop organization, you gotta cut them some slack when it comes to QA

[pseudo rune]

Still not an excuse, but just some context

Sorry it happened and I'm having it looked into right now

[cyan folio]

Too many people here didn't pay attention in their 3rd grade recorder lessons.

[pseudo rune]

FACE and Good Boys Deserve Fudge

[eternal zealot]

Nothing here to imply 7 letter shift

[cyan folio]

That's the cipher part

[eternal zealot]

Just eighth-quarter-half-whole

[dawn frost]

+0, +7, +14, +21

[eternal zealot]

No, it isn't. That's the "answer" to Q3, in the photo for Q1

[solemn solar]

Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge
Don't forget your first E

[pseudo rune]

Oh you're right

My bad

I played piano

What about you Cicero?

[drifting marsh]

Sorry, I played trombone - I only remember Bass clef.

[cyan folio]

Yeah, wrong image is an issue. But the notes-to-shift is a cipher

[pseudo rune]

LOL

[solemn solar]

Me too 🤣

[eternal zealot]

But that is not implied nor hidden anywhere in the Q1 image

[pseudo rune]

What was base again?

[whole sequoia]

there is seven notes, but it is a bit arbitrary

[cyan folio]

If it told you exactly what to shift it, it wouldn't be a cipher.

[daring flame]

It does. The yellow arrows at the bottom show the shift required

[pseudo rune]

https://tenor.com/view/winston-new-girl-puzzle-puzzling-gif-11370972

[drifting marsh]

I've long since forgotten the acronyms.

[eternal zealot]

A cipher is useless without a key for the recipient

On top of the "solution" not working because they put the wrong photo

[abstract gate]

it was easier to solve rubix cube than that cipher

[cyan folio]

If you shift the eighth note 7 notes, it's the same note. Pretty simple

[eternal zealot]

No, it doesn't. It just shows from eighth to quarter to half to whole

[drifting marsh]

@pseudo rune Honest question ping this time. When will we be getting details about the incursion and pre-incursion events?

[solemn solar]

Eighth>quater = one shift

[pseudo rune]

Should be soon we want to be very open about this, lost of questions that everyone has

[daring flame]

It requires some figuring out, but it shows that a certain type of note correspond to the first 7 letters of the alphabet, then another type of note for the next 7 letters, and so on.

[main spindle]

@pseudo rune how do we unlock this new building we didn't get the 100 keys for it

[versed osprey]

another bad arc launch, surprise surprise

[abstract gate]

Incursion events

[eternal zealot]

It's still a bad clue. Could be order of operations, could be meaningless to some bc they know that eights are smaller than quarters are smaller than halves, etc

[median vigil]

I bet in comes out at some point in the arc that officially starts in an hour. 🤷🏼‍♀️

[cyan folio]

Just because you couldn't figure it out doesn't make it a bad clue lol It's the most creative "riddle" they've included in this game so far.

[eternal zealot]

Ok top of the glaring main point that you COULDN'T CHECK THE ANSWER because they put the WRONG PHOTO and if you went to Friefra for Q1 you get a "nope" because they screwed up

[abstract gate]

To each their own. Personally I like some trial and error

[main spindle]

@pseudo rune and where did the 3 new chests go in the gift tab they disappeared with out them being claimed which we couldn't because we don't have the new currency for that either

[cyan folio]

Yes, on the mistake you are correct

[eternal zealot]

There is no "trial and error" if you get it right and the game tells you it's the wrong solution

[abstract gate]

Event store.

[main spindle]

@abstract gate ok so then if i don't participate then im not going to be able to build it?

[gentle cobalt]

thx all for helping in chipher events

[abstract gate]

As far as I currently know, nope

[pseudo rune]

Those got moved to the event store! Sorry about the confusion

[abstract gate]

I was replying to your other message. One is about the quality of event other about quality of rollout

Quality of rollout has been acknowledged and will be fixed.

[main spindle]

@abstract gate so then bubba was righ your forcing us to participate in a event we don't want to do

[solemn solar]

The key is in the picture
Eighth to quater to half to full

[serene forum]

anyone else not having the armada points counting?

[abstract gate]

No one is forcing you.

And you don’t even know the event yet lol

[solemn solar]

So your key and cipher is there, if scopely hadn't screwed up the first picture we would have been fine and able to figure it out

[main spindle]

@abstract gate well if we can't get the building with out participation then that's kind of being forced if you want the building and the benefits from it

[eternal zealot]

I already posted that photo. That's not a "key", and giving a key to the wrong cipher is hardly giving us an avenue to figure it out, when checking solutions and getting a false negative to a correct solution

[abstract gate]

I also want all the battlepass rewards and event rewards and everything and I want it now. Without doing the event!!!!!

Welcome to the game. Do events, get something in return. This time a building.

[quasi harbor]

So is cipher event bugged?

[solemn solar]

You have a clue, a key, a hint how to work it out....its all in there IF scopely had gotten the first image correct, as shown by the fact I could work out the other 3

[bitter snow]

First one has the wrong image 😄

#993889300989100062

[solemn solar]

I agree they got the picture wrong which is bloody annoying from a multi billion dollar company, but hey it is all there

[eternal zealot]

You cannot access the other three if the first one gives you a NO on a correct answer

[main spindle]

@abstract gate i dont like the idea on incursions especially when we won't have our Shields all the money spent on my battle pass rewards will go out the window with the first raid

[soft tulip]

Another botched release (TM) from Scopely … might consider changing the name to Bugly

[abstract gate]

You buy battlepass for the resources? You jokester

[solemn solar]

Agree they messed up the FIRST picture, but thats not saying their code was wrong, just the image

[main spindle]

And now u tell us we have to participate in this event to get the building that should be free to play not through a event

[abstract gate]

You misunderstand what f2p means

It means you don’t need to pay. It doesn’t mean obtain and do jack-all for it

[rare forge]

The way they figured out is take the first letter of each clue and cross it with the number of letters and then which ever system meets that criteria that’s the system

[frozen roost]

Who on earth is responsible for this cipher event?

None of the musical notations are valid..it's all gibberish.

[main spindle]

@abstract gate yes amongst the other resources and Matt's I get from it yes i dont raid people like most people do. Not to say i dont raid but i prefer not to

[eternal zealot]

How many times must I re-explain this? The wrong picture blocks access to the other ciphers in addition to making the user think the "correct algorithm" is incorrect, discarding it and continuing a wild goose chase.

[cyan finch]

And end of this week I wanna know exactly how the riddle is connected to ans

[abstract gate]

Only buy battlepass and haven’t raided in well over a year. If you have shield discipline the game gives you plenty resources.

[abstract gate]

What are you on about? He acknowledged exactly what you say.

[main spindle]

@abstract gate nice for u but when buildings cost 1 2 or even 5 billion its hard to keep par for me

[abstract gate]

Im ops 46, they cost a bit more.

[eternal zealot]

I'm saying the cipher is unsolvable in-game, as it has been presented to us by scopely. Not possible to solve since the other clues are blocked unless you brute-force it and get lucky to unlock them.

[solemn solar]

I say again...a wrong picture does not invalidate the code or the Cipher in and of itself.
It just invalidates the first answer

[main spindle]

Im lucky to have 1 billion par right now

[solemn solar]

This is not the first time scopely has screwed up quiz #1 answers either

[abstract gate]

I think we’re speaking hieroglyphs Cicero

[main spindle]

As my ops took all i had

[abstract gate]

Universal translator is broken

[eternal zealot]

And invalidating the first answer blocks the attempts on other answers. Making the event unplayable.

[main spindle]

@abstract gate im only lv 40

And i just got there

[solemn solar]

And I agree and scopely needs to stop relying on players to figure this out and actually pay a beta-tester for all of their updates

[serene forum]

1B at level 40? you going to raid alot to go to 41

[neat barn]

wasn't there a PTR or PTS they spun up?

[abstract gate]

Franka and arc events pay for all of it. Easily

[serene forum]

not that easily.

[dry heart]

They've fixed the image for 1

[serene forum]

but hey, i'm a raider.

[warm quest]

Why don't you have shields?

[solemn solar]

I remember on one quiz (use certain captain) they completely screwed up the first captain of the Enterprise.
Answer was Kirk....game most people tried Pike....in canon it's Robert April who isn't in the game 😅

[sudden ledge]

Did anyone put up the answer for the cipher?

[pale kestrel]

there was an episode where uhura/spock and la'an were inside an asteroid that had some sort of intelligent life or machine in it that they used music to operate.

[abstract gate]

@warm quest you have shields removed in new incursion event unless in level 19 or lower system

[sudden ledge]

tyvm

[serene forum]

actually, it was jonathan Archer

[solemn solar]

Wrong enterprise

[warm quest]

I know. 😉

[solemn solar]

They did specify USS Enterprise 1701 at least lol

[serene forum]

enterprise, different time

oh, didnt see that part on the event

[neat barn]

i don't even recognize that name, whelp down the rabbit hole!

[grim crater]

@warm quest was just reading it and planning my level 19 holiday resort. Too many resources 🤣

[warm quest]

Short stay. It's only 1 day.

[solemn solar]

Robert April captained the USS Enterprise NCC1701 on its shakedown cruise before it got handed over to Christopher Pike for its first 5-year mission

[abstract gate]

@pseudo rune disappearing act should never start on the first day of the battlepass

[grim crater]

@warm quest ahh good to know 👍

[main spindle]

@serene forum ill get the par i just don't like that they want us to change the way we play with incursion event in order to get this new building im not big in to pvp the most pvp i do is defending other members of my alliance im in

[worthy plaza]

anyone know if the ship BP's choices in the event store are frozen based on your OPs level at the start of the event or changes as you increase?

[cyan finch]

Oh that I remember but music nodes are no way connect to ans

[solemn solar]

Event store and rewards usually remain the same until end of the store/arc IIRC

[serene forum]

i get it, but honestly, if there is no pvp people might as well go play farmville

[subtle nacelle]

I’m stumped, music notes translate to FDBEFDA

[solemn solar]

#993889300989100062

[abstract gate]

Guys anyone know what the answer to the first clue is

[main spindle]

@serene forum im more in to the PvE

[fierce cosmos]

@pseudo rune I appreciate what they were trying to do, adding ciphers and puzzles in game is fun for those who want to try to crack them, but they need to be correct. We generated and hid hundreds of puzzles for Imgress when it first came out, created a whole community of solvers.

But, when it's not verified, you get the response you saw today.

I also want to show appreciation for getting the IGN out already for the events this month. Goes a LONG way. But, disappearing act on first day is kind of tone deaf, impresse you're giving Tetryons to start and part of the milestones.

[pseudo rune]

Appreciate the well written feedback as always Navik

Can you rename it "Eco's Mess Ups"

[sturdy hinge]

Some are 8th and some are half notes, could that be significant?

[pseudo rune]

It's always may fault

never forget that

[viral forge]

Way to start an arc with disappearing act. Cause everyones saving cloak for arc to start

[hasty solar]

We solved the cipher if anybody doesn’t care about spoilers

It is in no way connected to the notes however that I could tell…

[mystic musk]

#993889300989100062

[wind trout]

@hasty solar thanks for the late reply!

event already done with the help of the community thanks

[hasty solar]

Oh

I am too late whoops

Going to go delete my post

[serene forum]

people arent obligated to do all events

[hasty solar]

Posted over there. Thanks for pointing it out

[main spindle]

Any other building in the game we've gotten the keys for it in the gift tab until today now its play scopelys way or get left out on a buildings benefits

I think thats screwed up

[serene forum]

i would be more concerned about the mess that incursions events are going to be then the building it self.

[modest badge]

Remove the warnings please, I can't look at all those numbers. They distract from the game and are useless. I don't want to know what I could buy, thanks.

At least give me the chance to see only what interests me

[cedar laurel]

A strange new cipher, what is the answer? I don't have time for stuff like this.

[main spindle]

@modest badge Eco put out a message on that already

[solemn solar]

Carl-bot recognises *? Interesting

[main spindle]

@cedar laurel i don't know how to read music notes so it makes no sense to me

[abstract meadow]

Chech the music event spoilers channel

[grizzled mulch]

We really need advance warning on Disappearing Act

[grizzled sun]

How is the incursion going to work? Our server becomes impossible to play when there is a large battle for territory. How can it hold another server? Game lag has been an issue for a while now. When we have huge battles you can’t even get into the system

[cedar laurel]

You not the only one

[grizzled sun]

I didn’t think I was but didn’t want to speak out of turn. If the new building relies on the incursion event but we can’t do it. How is it going to work

[grizzled mulch]

I wouldn’t expect lag to be an issue, since it’s spread out across so many systems. I think shields are going to be more of an issue, or stuck bases, or…

[steel charm]

Cipher key:

[neon badge]

Lol disappearing act before incursions

What's 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 1 I'm not sober to understand

[dire osprey]

https://tenor.com/view/star-wars-admiral-ackbar-its-a-trap-meme-gif-8125029

[glacial mauve]

@pseudo rune Is it possible to get the event information posted in #💫-event-information again

[sour swan]

Is it a secret now who we recruit, it's not showing whom we pull from any chests

[eternal zealot]

The musical notes in the images are whole, half, quarter, or eighth notes. I dunno how to make them appear in text 😅

Go to #993889300989100062 , you can find both the answers and a longer explanation there

[amber pike]

https://store.startrekfleetcommand.com/news

[pseudo rune]

I'll see if we can get that for everyone

[sly fossil]

I'm way past drunk capabilities of the liver atm 😂

[glacial mauve]

thanks

[sly fossil]

Much appreciated 😊

[grizzled mulch]

@pseudo rune Could the overlords maybe throw us a bone with some free tetryons? Disappearing Act with no time to plan means it’s impossible for many to complete

[amber pike]

It’s really not

[grizzled mulch]

It really is

[amber pike]

2 days is plenty

[glacial mauve]

I got plenty

[silver pike]

It’s tough for those with the 50 per day replenishing amounts

I think those that are unplanned end with 470 points roughly

[sly fossil]

Your default will stay as is. But to finish with it is the challenge.

[silver pike]

The higher ops have it easier

[grizzled mulch]

Yeah, had I known it was coming, I would have banked. As it stands, I’ll be 5 tets short

[amber pike]

Use the smallest cloak ship it’s cheaper

[austere dome]

Someone know where I can get the subrum Relais keys for the new building

[opal sandal]

New chests in gifts gave nothing

[glacial mauve]

I always try to be max like this and use 1 or 2 per day

[amber pike]

Or acquire a cloak 😁

[sour swan]

No chests are giving anything

[grizzled mulch]

Not for many. Especially not if you weren’t banking and can’t buy any cloaks

Disappearing Act really needs a 3-4 notice so people can bank. Even then, having to time tetryons pulls is not a great experience, esp for those that only pull 50

[grizzled mulch]

Yeah, same. I went for 3 kills last night, tho, and shot myself in ye olde foote

[mossy jay]

Spending event loot didn’t open a window with rewards, I don’t know if I get something or not @pseudo rune

[spark zealot]

Disappearing Act:
use a lvl 24 ship (d3/legionary)
for every 25 tetryons you're getting 35 points
-> you need 15 cloak and attacks, which costs you 375 tetryons, it's 48 hours so you get 65 * 3 maximum in that time which means as long as your tetryon bank is >180 at the start of the event you can do it "easy"

[pseudo rune]

Did it only happen this one time?

Is anyone else having this issue?

[grizzled mulch]

And if you can’t acquire any cloaks? That’s the issue. At some point, everyone’s gonna run out of cloaks to purchase (reasonably)

[spark zealot]

if you're not always "around 200" although you know that event can start at any time -> you made your choice to use it elsewhere 😉

[mossy jay]

Well, let’s say I dontwant to try a second time 😅

[grizzled mulch]

OK, now do the math if you go into DA with only 50 tets

[sour swan]

Yes happened to me also

[pseudo rune]

Following up now on this

[spark zealot]

then you spent your tetryons somewhere else 🤷

I barely use them apart from the "kill 1 hostile" per day for this exact reason

[grizzled mulch]

Right. If the idea is that we’re not really supposed to spend tets outside of the event, fine, but Scopely needs to make that clear.

[modern estuary]

10 min chest wont open anymore click on it nothing happens

[spark zealot]

no one said f2p paths needs to be fun... 🤷

[pseudo rune]

What device are you on? ALso @sour swan

Trying to see if there is a correlation

[grizzled mulch]

Hahahaha. Oh, the irony of that statement in a game 😄

[amber pike]

They used to include “spend tetryon radiation” as an option

[twin karma]

This was a rather boring first day of the arc

[amber pike]

But not anymore

[grizzled mulch]

That would be a fantastic re-addition

[sour swan]

Samsung andriod

[spark zealot]

I actually never bought tetryons - not even in the event store... but I live with the fact to spend them during events or not finish the events... 🤷

that probably will never change

[opal sandal]

This is fantastic, opening packs in event store and getting nothing

[grizzled mulch]

Yeah. I’m forced to (sadly) agree. It’s such a cool mechanic that’s gimped by such a bad event

[spark zealot]

well, they said they keep the limit of 200 for a reason 😄

[grizzled mulch]

Heaven forbid you had a TC/TD yesterday

[pseudo rune]

Really weird, I just claimed mine and it showed up

I'm on android as well

[grizzled mulch]

I can handle missing out on the last milestone every so often, but it’s especially painful for those who only pull 50 but still need 500 pts. No advance notice just adds insult to injury for those folks

[opal sandal]

Eco opening chests on iOS isn’t giving the rewards pop up

[stone grail]

Yeah same here on iOS

[sour swan]

Same on pc

[mossy jay]

I’m on iOS

[pseudo rune]

Lemme check this out

[distant canopy]

I confirm, iOS not showing chest rewards. I’m on Server11 if it matters

[odd rampart]

eco i dont have the missions too claimed the boxes on android and know on pc i dont have any mission

[quartz fox]

Missions are for ops34 and up, could that be your explanation?

[pseudo rune]

The first time you pulled items?

It happened to me one time and it worked ever since

I got 2 chests from swarms, didn't show, and then it did from there on PC client

[distant canopy]

My apologies, loot chests. I’m not showing any rewards for loot chests. Can’t confirm if I’m event receiving anything from them.

[pseudo rune]

No issues on mobile so far

Yeah I meant from the PvE chests

[odd rampart]

yeah -.- no snw mission on android aswell i still have 200 Matrixdioden -.-

[neat plover]

Is the event calander posted anywhere?

[distant canopy]

Ok I’m getting rewards popping up now.

[pseudo rune]

Yeah seems to be just the first time

[grizzled smelt]

I finished an away team mission and got “away team mission not found” error and got nothing.

Same issue?

[pseudo rune]

I'm assuming it's the same. Are you on PC?

[olive birch]

I just finished away team mission on pc with no issues. Seems to be random

[odd rampart]

eco so must i write a ticket or you aware on it so i dont do anything ( just like the pike avartar 😉 ) ??

[mossy jay]

Me too? Or did you looking into my account already?

[drifting marsh]

In the patch notes linked from here: #⭐-official-announcements message

[near flare]

What’s #4 on cypher event please?

[drifting marsh]

Go to #993889300989100062 and scroll up for the answers

[wind trout]

@pseudo rune doing the part 6 of the Strange New World Missions:

[fierce walrus]

There is no new missions for me at the holodeck, even after refresh

[indigo totem]

are there any other "mission redeem" events besides the current "Complete New Missions"?

ie, any reason not to do the missions now?

[abstract gate]

Didn’t seem so on first glance, but you check that info in IGN too

[swift lotus]

Anyone have the first decipher event location?

[silver pike]

Check #993889300989100062

[abstract gate]

Did you find these new missions in the holodeck? I have nothing new there

[somber sky]

For the invasion event, are territory systems considered 20+ or <19?

[teal holly]

Did anyone have missions disappear on them? I did but unfortunately, I can’t remember the names. I know I was stuck on one to defeat a 1.9 mil pakled

[broken horizon]

do you guys see any ALB events in the schedule this month?

[indigo totem]

yes, i do see them. Fear Itself pt1-5 and 6-10

[abstract gate]

They’re in scope of incursions

[teal holly]

I see no missions available

[abstract gate]

@pseudo rune no new missions available after update, restart, and clearing local. Edit: never mind it is ops based

[abstract gate]

Have you purchased the missions from event store?

[silver pike]

They are level 20

[silver pike]

What ops are you

[abstract gate]

No. Maybe the holodeck missions are only showing for certain ops?

[abstract gate]

31

[silver pike]

34+

[desert prairie]

Can't access any Away Missions.

[silver pike]

This has been passed on already. What device are you on? PC,Android,IOS?

[desert prairie]

Android

[silver pike]

👍🏻

[abstract gate]

Ty

[desert prairie]

@silver pike - Thanks.

[silver pike]

Passed on now 🖖

[haughty tapir]

I had that issue early today, but clearing localization fixed the problem.

I'm on android also

[ivory badger]

@pseudo rune Hello. Why are we not getting extra Tetryons with the Disappearing Act SMS Event? It was the same last month, but a few months ago we did. Which made it a little easier to finish. Thanks.

[keen portal]

Also have no new missions, tested on Andriod and PC

[silver pike]

What ops are you?

[keen portal]

32

[silver pike]

The missions are Ops 34

[woven basin]

The enemies are 5k and 650k.... that's.... wow.

[silver pike]

That’s strange 🙈

[keen portal]

ouch 😦 (I was tempted to jump to 33.. but 34 is a bit far.. It wasn't written in the announcement that it's 34+

[woven basin]

They think the rest of my team can't do these? Lol

[silver pike]

😬😬😬

That’s so strange they didn’t write it

[narrow falcon]

OPS 34 for these missions is dumb. Why cant we have the missions and save them for later if we cant do them?

[woven basin]

...... im disappointed. Lvl 28s in my alliance could finish these

[languid kayak]

StUpId event. I don't give two shakes about music notation, nor should I. I don't care if all I have to do is look at the spoilers. This adds NOTHING to the game. And even though I am above the level limit, it is absolutely ludicrous to have the new missions level locked. Complete fail on this one.

[sharp cairn]

@pseudo rune are they really running incursions on Mining Monday as the graphic suggests?

[ornate geyser]

Depends on which region you’re in. I haven’t seen a schedule.

[sharp cairn]

https://discordapp.com/channels/509679626763632640/509688981051408394/993928257370071120

Monday Tuesday Wednesday

[abstract gate]

Guess that'll be a reason not to mine 🤣

[devout holly]

so 5 days instead of 24 hours like the CC's have been saying

[ornate geyser]

2 days “prep” - whatever that entails - then 1 of 3 days of actual Incursion, depending on region.

[drifting marsh]

Can't tell if its 3 24 hour events or 1 24 hour event that might be on one of 3 days.

[sharp cairn]

Not sure what Incursion Prep is and why it runs a second time. Maybe the calendar is half baked - you'd think it would be fixed by now with all the questions though

[silver pike]

It’s 1 24h event per region. US get 1 day. EU get 1 day. APAC get 1 day

[mossy marsh]

might be of little interest which day for which region but never mind

[neat barn]

i would like to know when to move

[silver pike]

Yeah same I would like to know when each region is doing the event but it’s not clear yet. My guess it will be US EU APAC or EU US APAC (just my thoughts please don’t take this literally)

[mossy marsh]

havent been the APAC ones testing first normally ? 👀

[silver pike]

Actually that’s true 🤔 and they are the smallest server count. Perfect trial runners

Then my final guess is APAC EU US (again my opinion don’t take seriously)

[limber saffron]

why there is no event information on diskord?

[sharp cairn]

Everybody wants Tuesday 🤣

[drifting marsh]

https://tenor.com/view/oprah-winfrey-day-off-friday-you-get-a-day-off-you-get-a-car-gif-12045571

[desert laurel]

Guessing Apac alpha testers, US Tuesday to avoid too much TC drama for the cash cow, and EU.

[silver pike]

That’s logical too

[desert laurel]

There'll be more details on Incursions later this week.

[mossy marsh]

wait we have a us whale on our server 🤔

[leaden gale]

For once they posted event info on news channel. But they forget discord. Can’t do both ?💩

[sharp cairn]

It would be much easier to reference the event schedule and details outside the game for sure.

[turbid roost]

Are there no rss spending SMS events this cycle?

[sharp cairn]

Who knows. There are events with no info - for example what is Incursion Prep?

[silver pike]

3 SLB’s

[ornate geyser]

Those are mats spend, not rss spend.

[turbid roost]

Yeah saw that, but not being a whale they won’t do me much good 🤷

[silver pike]

There’s rss spend events???

[ornate geyser]

That’s what the dude asked for… 🤷‍♂️

[silver pike]

True

[abstract gate]

There was that heroic parsteel spend

[silver pike]

Oh yeah 😅

[versed osprey]

hope that never comes back

that was one of the worse events ever

[unkempt patio]

LOL checking UltimateDJz comment feed on Incursion and I am being proven right - endless comments by users who hate Incursions and saying it's a disaster. The opposition is growing.

[abstract gate]

Okay?

[unkempt patio]

Anyone who feels outnumbered on here by pro-Incursion people... we are legion. Join us on DJ's and Rev Deuce's feeds and drown out the other side, let Scopely know we outnumber the supporters.

[abstract gate]

You haven’t even seen one yet lol

We gotta try it once at least. Only people getting doodooded on hard are people off grid with 30d shield. The rest it is a mild inconvenience for 1 day

[unkempt patio]

Or people who have a real life.

[sharp cairn]

Worst thing that happens is a couple days of chaos. Like we've never had that in the game before

[unkempt patio]

Dude look on DJ's feed on youtube, people HATE this.

[hexed gorge]

U have enough notice to shield and bubble

[abstract gate]

I'd bet support might even restore resources to someone that had a 30d shield up and didn't log in at all

[unkempt patio]

You're not going to convince us to like it.

Nothing you say is going to change the fact that non-whales HATE this.

[hexed gorge]

This isn't farmville

[hexed kettle]

@unkempt patio You’ve made your point. Some of us are taking a wait-and-see approach. Is that alright? Or am I going to be tarred and feathered too?

[unkempt patio]

Clearly you do not understand how many people are voicing their anger and disdain. It's insane man. The numbers aren't on your side.

[abstract gate]

How dare you!

[unkempt patio]

LOL oh man if only you knew

[abstract gate]

You’ve invited us to your place of enlightenment

Thank you

[abstract gate]

Probably just a vocal minority. No one in my alliance has said anything negative yet, all positive even the lowbies

[hexed kettle]

If I got up in arms every time a scopely event was a bust or a skip I’d have no arm strength left.

[abstract gate]

If you scurry on back we will all follow you in 2,3,17

[hexed kettle]

Though I’d place a fairly large wager on the technical side of things being a disaster on the first go around. The quality control is still MIA at Scopely HQ.

[feral barn]

Wait, what? Scopely has a Quality Control Group.. Since When?

[hexed gorge]

2030

[flint temple]

it's one thai guy who doesn't speak english. he consistently tells them things are messed up, but they don't speak thai so they do nothing about it

alternatively it may be a springer spaniel

[solemn solar]

My bets:

Technical side will be a disaster. Mass lag and frustration leading to widespread shielding and minimal participation
Scoring issues all round with badly coded events leading to even higher frustration
It will go the way of Territories....non-PvP because of the above

[flint temple]

we can assume QA isn't handled by a chihuahua because it would bite them until the game got better

[solemn solar]

Will wait and see of course, but place ya bets 🤣

[scarlet thorn]

I can assure you that this coupled with some of the other ridiculous aspects, some of us whales hate it as well.

Especially any whales that haven't cared to buy into the whack G5 economy.

[solemn solar]

Seems you have a vocal minority in your alliance 🤣
Even those of us who have been asking for similar SvS events don't trust Scopely's ability to correctly code, manage events and manage the lag

[hexed kettle]

Something I AM looking forward to is the compensation chest later this month to make up for whatever issue generated the most community outrage. Those are usually pretty good 😆

[abstract gate]

There is a vocal minority about everything

What one group loves another group hates

Bonus refinery extension hype

Cant listen to them all or we’d have no change in any direction let alone a game

I’m very hesitant about these incursions. But burning it down before we’ve seen it is ridiculous

[hexed kettle]

It’s not hard to shield and log out for the day if it’s a disaster.

And I do want to see them trying new things.

[feral barn]

oh no, incursions are gonna suck.. that's a given. as on our server they cant even handle the alliances we have fighting over Territories adding more players to the systems just makes it a bigger failure.

[abstract gate]

You have literally no clue if that will happen

[hexed kettle]

These constant technical issues are destroying anyone’s ability to trust and respect their ability to pull it off. That’s all.

[abstract gate]

First one with you there

[solemn solar]

The stupid thing is, Scopely need to focus on the basics before extending any further.
The lag.
The connection drop-outs
The broken g4 and g5 economy
The broken PvP levels

Then try to extend the game to add elements.
A well-written and coded game will keep people playing a lot longer and encourage upgrading because they enjoy it more than a fancy event once in a while

[silver pike]

Scopely have said they will look at reviewing the PvP levels to be fairer as they release more events like incursions

[solemn solar]

🤣

Scopely said they'd do that before the last Territory event

Never happened, because they focus on big-spend minority rather than an overall group spend that a good game gets

When you focus tour attention on a minority and try to wring them for everything they have, you lose out on a large pay from a group (usually higher than the former)

[silver pike]

Who knows what their plan is 🤷‍♂️ for all we know they have to go through 40 loopholes just to get to better PvP brackets

[solemn solar]

Sorry but if they do it's their own loopholes created by their coding

[silver pike]

Again who knows 😅 🤷‍♂️ all we ever heard is that they will look into it. If that ever happens who knows it could or maybe not

[grizzled sun]

When they can’t get a picture correct on an event. My hopes aren’t to high when it comes to cross server stuff

https://tenor.com/view/monkey-working-hammering-hammer-gif-14039888

[chilly lynx]

Are the new missions not available to people under 34? Got some that don't have the missions.

[warm quest]

And you speak for every "non-whale"?

[sturdy hinge]

I started putting together an event calendar but it seems off... very few events on Mondays - Wednesdays and Sundays... do I have that right?

[sturdy hinge]

The BP calendar they made is already off a bit, for example no event called disappearing act today https://www.startrekfleetcommand.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Update-44-Battle-Pass-768x768.png

[acoustic lantern]

is it already clear how the chat will behave, if you jump on the other server? do you still participate on your own server chat or is this not possible during invasion?

[abstract gate]

Iirc galaxy chat will be from the server you are on at that moment

[abstract gate]

It’s currently running as scheduled for ops 26 and higher

[tame mirage]

There is disappearing act today

[acoustic lantern]

but what about ally chat or pm? Do you officially leave your ally during jump?

[abstract gate]

You’ll remain in your alliance so AC should work. Pms I’m not sure

[sturdy hinge]

ahh I didn't see anything about it on the in-game news post where the rest of the event info is posted

[acoustic lantern]

where do you know that from, tommie?

[abstract gate]

Sorry had to go find it

[acoustic lantern]

thx

[glacial mauve]

version 1

[sturdy hinge]

same, too much grey?

what are you using to make yours, I like it!

[twin karma]

So when will the useless red flags get axed?

[paper venture]

Not soon enough.

[neon badge]

No?

[sturdy hinge]

It isn’t listed in the announcement posted in-game, that’s what I was using to make the calendar

[ornate geyser]

Those empty spots in the calendar are for “collect make up chests Because Bugs”…

[jolly carbon]

No way to legitimately finish disappearing act in 2 days no additional tetryons until hitting reward level 12 in battlepass

[left rivet]

Yep, if your tetryon reset time is out of whack with the event then no chance. I was lucky last time, got three pulls in the two day window

[rotund fog]

Build a lvl 26 ship, cloak is cheaper to operate

[grizzled mulch]

Does unlocking cloak for a ship you don't have count for DA?

Or rather, can you unlock if you don't have the ship?

[untold pendant]

Yes you can, I did so today

Of course, cloaks are expensive, and you can't pull that trick forever (once you unlock the cloak you can't get more shards)

[barren hemlock]

Still costs 25 Tetryons per kill, 10 points per kill, so that’s 15 kills, or 375 Tetryons. If you don’t have perfect timing for the 3 pulls, then you need to start the event with at least 245 Tetryons. Not a great event to hit the last milestone without planning or luck

[keen mist]

It's not hard, just save Tets and be around at reset.

[abstract gate]

Just don't cloak a week before a bp drops, ez

[neon badge]

The strange token boxes have tetreons

[granite maple]

per the battle pass image on the news update : Is the incursion actually 3 days of distinct 24 hours of events in a row or are the only occurring one or two days in the month as was implied by the content creators (RevDuce, DJz videos)?

[ornate geyser]

Depends which bugs the event ships with…

[fierce pollen]

It's just barely possible in 2 days if you are nearly full going in and have 3 pulls and a D3 or Legionary.

[fickle sundial]

There is a lot of debate on that. Some say it’s one 24hr play per region

[dull pagoda]

The good ol hard reset every other minute is back but sure, incursions

Armadas took a year or what, just run a TOS arc, fix the actual game. And THEN do incursions

[atomic spruce]

Does anyone have any idea what the scoring will be for the incursion events?

[twin karma]

90 points for every 1$ spent.

[kind sluice]

When will this months Asscension event be?

[vivid gyro]

Ascension events are every Friday if your server is open to advancement past ops 39

[rough mist]

This going to be like ultra recruit slb or just some officer xp slb like usual?

[abstract gate]

If it is like last month I think it's just shards

[marsh spindle]

Does anyone know where to get the latest version of this calendar?

[vivid gyro]

Full disclosure, I did not make that.

[marsh spindle]

Fantastic! Where did you find it?

[vivid gyro]

Was posted on the talking trek discord

[abstract gate]

So what's with the event tickets in the bp? They're for next month?

[nocturne lion]

Anyone know what these “side missions” are and how to get them? I didn’t get any show up while completing the Fear Itself missions.

[azure slate]

they will most likely pop up during the month similar to how they showed for part 1 just completed

[storm swallow]

where can i find the incursion-faq-answer?

[abstract gate]

This is from the Talking Trek discord

[storm swallow]

you maybe can forward an invite?

[abstract gate]

https://discord.gg/talkingtrek

[storm swallow]

awesome, thx

[true cedar]

Does anyone have a text copy of this that I can use? I.e the whole thing for the month?

[abstract gate]

Usually someone puts it in #💫-event-information, not this time unfortunately. Eco has been asked about this

[true cedar]

Yeah, I thought so. I’m sure I saw it somewhere but can’t find it again! Tooooooo much info haha

[abstract gate]

the problem is that they will never go away, you don't have a way to say to the game "shut up, I don't care about that pack"

[mystic stream]

Not sure if this will be of any use, but threw this together in the last hour 🖖🏼

[sharp raft]

Just catching up on the event notes, am I correct that are there no recruit Una events this month?

[abstract gate]

this month calendar seems incomplete to me (not talking about your work ItsAYou), I expect some update in the next days

[sharp raft]

Which makes me think she will be tied to the incursion events since the epic recruit SLB usually runs then.

[bitter snow]

Would be nice, but they incentivise us to hoard everything

and it gets really annoying 😂

It'd be amazing if they could change the approach to events so that hoarding wasn't the way to play the game

but I don't know how that would jive with spending/not

"Play our game, by the way, the most efficient way to do so... is not play the game"

hoarding the SLBs, I get, and that's entirely choice

non-heroic SMS though...

[abstract gate]

Once the cloaking research completes, cloaks not useful really may be may be in PvP sneak attacks but that’s it

[bitter snow]

basically, yeah

[obtuse shoal]

they're very useful during a war.. otherwise seriously meh

[bitter snow]

occasionally scraping an additional 5 pts on dailies if I'm having a lazy day

[obtuse shoal]

best way to get an armada to land is usig a cloaked lead ship for example

[sharp raft]

They incentivize us to hoard, and then create a million red tags to annoy us into spending.

[bitter snow]

Don't do any of that often enough 😂

[indigo haven]

I didn’t have enough tetryons to finish the event. So lame to ask for so much cloak juice. Now I have no cloaks and event 3/4 done.

[bitter snow]

To be fair, I don't think there was any intention of that with the tags... and people had asked for them to be on more places

Good idea, shoddy implementation 🤣

[bitter snow]

That's why you stop at half way and take a view from there

[sharp raft]

True, they were needed in a couple places. Just not everywhere and in redundant places.

[bitter snow]

And they've gotten rid of the green/red ATA icon

which was actually vaguely useful 😂

[sharp raft]

Yep, stop at 250 and see if you can do second half before end

[indigo haven]

Next time I won’t do it at all

[sour lotus]

Really good point isnt it @pseudo rune

[ripe jungle]

Is event scoring broken for anyone else on the cloaking event? Killed a hostile cloaked and only got 25 points for spending tetryons and it didn’t count for the cloaked daily either

[main spindle]

@pseudo rune these extra pips are driving me nuts we need a fix for it now not 2 to3 weeks from now

[paper venture]

Why there hasn’t been a hot fix already is nuts.

Easily the most annoying thing they have done since I started this game, and thats saying a-lot.

[bitter snow]

It took them 48 hours to fix a literally game breaking bug for anyone on Android 8 or lower last month

the pips are not that urgent 😂

Annoying, yes, but I'll live!

And what on earth does it have to do with event chat? 😂

[main spindle]

Its hard when u get anxiety from your OCD

[bitter snow]

fair, but the amount of red !'s from officers were already bad from that

[main spindle]

Its literally driving me nuts check every few minutes even knowing it something im not going to collect

[bitter snow]

put the game down

worst thing is to keep looking at it

unless you're doing other stuff, best way is a run in the morning, and a run in the evening maybe... then I try (usually fail) to ignore it the rest of the day

I've had the opposite reaction with the pips... I'm missing more things because I'm forgetting what number it was before hand, and ignoring the menus on purpose 😂

[main spindle]

It took me 2 years to get use to the red pips from officers but even that section can be collapsed on your page the other stuff can't be

[paper venture]

To me its hard for me to understand how they thought that was an improvement. It so cluttered you have no clue what is actually “new/ready”

[bitter snow]

and it's only been 24 hours and change for the rest of them... team are aware (see announcements)... now we just have to wait for a change

[bitter snow]

Someone got the brief "Make sure everything alerts when it's collectable", and took it as is, rather than "Think about what needs to be notified, check that it does"

I maintain that they had a new junior start who needed an intro to the codebase, well away from the fiddly last bits of incursions 😂

"here, do this"

And off they went, like the brooms from Mickey's Sorcerer's apprentice

[drifting marsh]

That may be the best explanation I've seen.

[bitter snow]

Arguably, aside from the away teams... it is working, it's just poorly placed

"I have a thing, it tells me about the thing... test pass!"

[drifting marsh]

Not everyone is lucky enough to have separate test and production environments. Everyone has both, they just aren't all separate.

[mental tulip]

My alliance button has a permanent badge. That's not "working"

[main spindle]

@bitter snow 90% of the new pips are stuff u need to collect for a while before cashing it in to get the maximum amount of what ur traiding it for

[mental tulip]

Then they're doing it wrong. I've been a software developer for over 20 years and I can shoot down every single excuse not to do it right.

[bitter snow]

I know, not saying it's well thought out... but it passes tests 😂

[drifting marsh]

At Scopely's scale, yes. At my work's scale, with no development in house, testing is waiting to install until you know it hasn't broken the other guy.

[lethal arch]

does anyone know if you can create or join an alliance while on an incursion?

[midnight geyser]

Now we cannot see how many helps we have received ?

[bitter snow]

it's on the build queues for the bits that are important

don't think I ever waited for ship repairs 😂

[pale kestrel]

you progbably can but like other boards when it happens, you probasbly won't have your points count

[bitter snow]

no...

Might leave a ship repairing overnight?

[mental tulip]

Well that's not software development then. That's software delivery. And I'm only talking about Scopely's scale here.

[bitter snow]

if I'm actively playing, I'm not waiting 20 minutes for my ship to become usable again 😂

contributions are quick 😂

if a bit pricey nowadays

[midnight geyser]

Not for repairs, but to know when to speed research after all helps are received

[bitter snow]

Build queues, X/Y numbers immediately below each queue

[warm quest]

Scopely is the publisher not the developer. Developer is Digit.

Yes Scopely is Digits parent company. But Digit is still the developer and scopely the publisher

[main spindle]

Only time i wait for ship repairs is at night when im sleeping 🤣

[icy sedge]

Anyone have any idea when Meridian BPS will be made available again? Why are they not on a recurring event 😦

[abstract gate]

they are usually present in end of arcs events stores

[icy sedge]

So then the current arc part is not the end of arc? Part 3 will follow?

[drifting marsh]

Yes. I've seen references to part 3 somewhere already.

That's right, it was Old Man dropping hints about what the next arc might be after SNW part 3

[icy sedge]

Then I better save up for that Arc then.

[midnight geyser]

Thanks. I do not have any new buildings or researches going so did not realize. My bad.

[bitter snow]

how'd you manage that?

they're always ticking for me 😂

[lethal arch]

that makes no sense. When you move in an incursion you end up tagless... so why would it effect points counting?

[silver pike]

Probably will still work as normal but haven’t heard anything for sure

[bitter snow]

You nd up tagless? 😂

Where'd you get that from?

[lethal arch]

the existing mechanic for moving servers heh.

[bitter snow]

I think it's safe to say this will not be the case for incursions

otherwise they wouldn't have accidentally deleted alliances on the early maintenances

[lethal arch]

You think when players go on an incursion they will keep their alliance and tags? I seriously doubt it lol.

those alliances and tags dont exist on the other server

[bitter snow]

Well, if you're right, I'll be asking you to guess the lotto numbers for next week

[bitter snow]

*didn't

[carmine slate]

anyone got the answers for the 2nd Strange New Cipher already?

[bitter snow]

Because at the moment you're talking out yo butt

[ornate geyser]

Only battleship I have is a Lego…that’s a crazy number of kills for a couple of shards…

[lethal arch]

lol ok there buddy, I expect groveling from you later 😉

[oak herald]

Are they seriously doing the incursions on weekdays?

Or am I misunderstanding something

[devout holly]

yes, and mining Monday no less

[silver pike]

The existing mechanic was changed

[midnight bone]

anyone figure out cipher yet

[silver pike]

Yeah they will

[oak herald]

Wtf.. well there goes pretty much any interest I had in it

[abstract gate]

What's going on with the recruit meta/slb?
Says 4 days in calendar, only seeing 2 days, and only 24 hr events inside?

[bitter snow]

The server maintenance they were doing last month, did something to mess with alliances - early ones were deleted, others had numbers added.
This suggests their maintenance had to do with storage of alliances.
The maintenance was for 'upcoming content' - incursions, likely?

[median vigil]

going to try and kill explorers with my sally.. if it HAS to be a bship... that leaves me with stella only........

[silver pike]

Try collaborating with others on #993889300989100062 maybe you guys can figure it out. Personally I have nothing 😭

[median vigil]

going to be like 500 hostiles if I have to kill explorers with stella....

[vivid oar]

Q 2.1?

[slim solar]

Im dumb i wait for answers and cant help 🤣

[fathom oasis]

Wow my biggest battkeship is a sally, and i need 600k for the sms, my sally kills what, lv 40’s? Thats 1000 hostiles.

[compact verge]

wth is this ortegas SMS? is the heroic "missing" again?? if you dont have a state of the art BS for your ops, and as you can economically choose 1 ship type, cuz you know the economy (especially G4) is an utter garbage, then you have to grind 1000s of hostiles? ooooor buy a semi-useless rare just to be able to finish a normal SMS. genius money grab.....

[clear barn]

How to finish ortega meta if you only have one event?

[abstract gate]

sally is not a battleship

[devout holly]

@clear barn yeah we seem to be missing two events

[fathom oasis]

My doing 1000 hostiles is mot going to happen

[devout holly]

or the timer is wrong

[hazy widget]

where is the violin master of the sheet music?🤣

[median tapir]

Eojur is the answer to 2.1

[dawn frost]

Just to be sure, this recruit Ortegas and Uhura slb is meant to be a 24 hrs event?

[nimble forge]

Don't worry about the slbs. You can get them without the slbs.

[abstract ice]

Scopely, you can kiss my youknowhat, I'm not pulling my augur out of mothballs to kill 200 hostiles, so sick of this horrible scaling 😡

[shrewd knot]

Do you think even the devs know what they programed? It's that now. I'm still waiting less screen time for this game lol

[marsh ridge]

Please, focus on the Cipher event and then continue complaining. Thanks. 😄

[lucid adder]

2nd cipher pls😂

[nimble forge]

How did you get that answer?

[shrewd knot]

@nimble forge there is a music event spoilers tab

[median tapir]

New Cipher answers
1: Eojur
2: Vogum
3: Xabek
4: Rigel

[shrewd knot]

Or that

[ornate geyser]

I’m skipping it as well - my biggest battleship is a Lego, lol. Complete waste of time.

[full aspen]

and quizz 2.1 ?

[ionic horizon]

Screenshot (6 Jul 2022 17:25:18)

New cider answers

Cipher damn alcohol on the brain, lol

Oops wrong channel

[pulsar fossil]

The recruit meta should be 3 days but it’s only 24 hrs!

[eternal laurel]

Part 2, 1 -Eojour, 2-Vogum, 3-Xabek, 4-Rigel

[deep steeple]

Don't have a powerful battleship yet I need 54k points that's just nuts. Good job there.....

[indigo crypt]

something wrong? 3 days event set to 1 day? 👀🤣🙈

[clever ibex]

Already finished? Where is that system?

[indigo crypt]

thats about killing explorers with battleship

sad is you cant complete Meta - SMS, because it wont last another two days

[pure bear]

It's a bug, but not sure they will fix it. Another reason they need an actual quality control department

[clever ibex]

And sadly @pseudo rune can't seem to do much about it. He/ she is a nice person, but obviously Scopely doesn't give a 💩 about the community complaints he passed to them

[pale kestrel]

sadly with my strongest battleship atm, i'd have to kill 312 lvl 43s to complete this.

don't even want to do the math on how many hours that is.

[abstract gate]

And the recruit SLB was labeled as 4 days long... lol

So uh. Whats the truth there?

[untold pendant]

Stella and I are killing 400 hostiles for this event. So much fun

[inner cave]

I assume it has to be faction hostiles as bounty hunters not working

[slow patio]

76k to finish with a 2m battleship, go to hell scopely 🤬🤬🤬

[devout holly]

got the first half of the first tier done just killing worms for BP event lol

[dreamy trench]

262k points and my biggest battleship is a t1 Bortas🤪 scopely, you do it well again, thats how events not should work🤣

[inner cave]

Bounty hunters do work but you need to initiate the attack

[clever ibex]

Where r those?

[dreamy trench]

this event is a bad joke again

[inner cave]

Check again I’m lvl 40 and only need 39.37k

[inner cave]

Augment space

[dreamy trench]

i am ops 46, i have a 6m ente and a 12m korinar, but no battleship

[clever ibex]

Any specific system?

[hasty solar]

I’m ops 55…my biggest battleship is my augur and I need 3.15m pts to finish

[inner cave]

Any space but the higher the better

[hasty solar]

I am going to implode lol

[inner cave]

No auger ?

[blazing falcon]

Augment space is not good for players 40+. I need a 72k points and my top battleship is bortas. its a more than 200 hostiles for me (lvl 39-41 - highest system what my bortas can reach without disco). even on higher hostiles it will be too long.

[dreamy trench]

nop

[hasty solar]

300+ hostiles lvl 50-51. Not sure how many I can kill in one pass with an 7-8m augur

[inner cave]

Ouch. I’m sure at your lvl you will have enough bp’s to build on. That or legionary (although points at your lvl are silly)

[deep steeple]

And tomorrow is the interceptor version of the event so will have the same problem

[blazing falcon]

why players should build ship what they dont want build only for event?

[abstract gate]

I'm 36 and my strongest bs is a legio, the augur is still far away, too many shard missing, but i think I will be able to carry on the event, the problem is the meta lasting only 1 day

[hasty solar]

I am not going to go build a tribune or vor’cha just for this event

[inner cave]

Legionary is good to build for scrapping

[dreamy trench]

i would build a vor'cha if i can, but not for event^^

[blazing falcon]

my server full of kelvins and sally, so dont see a problem😂

[inner cave]

All events are doing one for each ship

[blazing falcon]

and? its good for scrapping but its not good for event

[karmic vault]

Well, the problem might be finding enough of the right ships to target if everyone's killing them. 😛

[ornate geyser]

The only reason I have a max Lego is because currently it’s top of my scrapping stack. But I’m not grinding out 200+ hostiles for this, lol.

[ornate geyser]

checks strength of his Vidar…yep, just as screwed, lol…

[sour lotus]

Lol the changed the rewards for the meta to reflect thats only one day

[inner cave]

Yeah I know. But good time to lvl it

[distant dawn]

Strangely, today DJ talked about it in video some hours before this event started, that the scores for these events should be a) low enough to be able to do them with low level ships and b) that there would be some mechanic to score of any ship/hostile 😮

[hasty solar]

Not low enough apparently.

[abstract gate]

@pseudo rune can you let us know if the other two sms events will still took place?

[wide girder]

Today is a bad day to not own a big battleship 👎

[hasty solar]

100k in 😅

[abstract gate]

today is the "why didn't you built/leveled a bortas/intrepid/augur day"

[sour lotus]

Or if there will be three slbs?

[distant dawn]

Even as low as I am on lvl 36, with maxed Bortas I can hit lvl 38-40 ships in lvl 39 systems (as I cannot go to DS) I will need 78 explorer ships.. it is not scaled properly for lower levels too

[abstract gate]

lol

The fact that we are an hour in and nothing has been changed or announced is alarming

they have changed the meta

[sour lotus]

https://tenor.com/view/programmer-developer-debugging-code-testing-fixing-gif-7663766

[abstract gate]

OK. What about the SLB(s?) Now haha

[distant dawn]

Ortega SMS meta event is changed

[abstract gate]

and only now I realized that they have removed the 2 higher steps, rewards included

so they need to redo at least a second slb, with 2 steps

[tepid pivot]

battleship only event? 💩

[wide girder]

Scopely: why haven't you maxed all 3 faction ships ready for this event ?!?! We've been dropping hints by selling packs for them!

😜

[abstract gate]

The slb should be 3 days as well I imagine

[abstract gate]

but is not

[vagrant pumice]

the SLB was scheduled for 4 days

[distant dawn]

Or you can conveniently buy the officer to score with any ship 🙈 If it works ofc, those events with scoring with specific officer on bridge are not always 100%

[vagrant pumice]

and remember NOT CAPTAIN. So pull out SNW Pike. Oh you don't have him? oh.

[abstract gate]

isn't him on sale too?

it seems not, strange

[rare forge]

You can’t BUY people, man! 😜

[abstract gate]

sadly my syndicate overlords disagree

[celest ermine]

This is what happens if you dont pay

[abstract gate]

ouch

[violet salmon]

Anyone knows if there will be additional SLB for Ortega and Uhura in the coming 3 days? or is it just for 1 time 24hrs?

[abstract gate]

https://tenor.com/view/bait-fishing-statefarm-insurance-gif-7790622

[abstract gate]

it was supposed to be a 4 days slb, they screwed it up, now no one knows what it will happen

[deep steeple]

I'm waiting for the mining event. I expect it's mine 1million g4 ore using only a realta

[abstract gate]

I suggest waiting to spend materials, maybe they will tell us something later

[mortal timber]

Have a battleship or you have to buy an officer... This is non-sense. I don't use battleships and why should I buy useless officer. Scopely!

[devout holly]

if the officer is useless then dont do the event

[north vessel]

Never! Spend mats and then demand compensation when they pull the rug out!

[mortal timber]

I thought there are other stuff in rewards, if it's only the officer I won't. you are a genious!

[radiant turtle]

recently released event schedule... per Taking Trek Podcast

[devout holly]

@mortal timberyou just seem to want to complain like a child

[mortal timber]

and you are a complain police i guess?

[devout holly]

@mortal timberjust for you

[ornate geyser]

No need for personal digs…relax, it’s just a game.

[molten cloak]

Do you not have a Stella? Just send it to Silolux (sp.?)

[mortal timber]

thank you for your interest.

[mortal timber]

nope

[devout holly]

@mortal timberyw

[molten cloak]

More importantly, is there definitely no matching spend sms?

[abstract gate]

i think the only sms are the ones tied to the meta events

[north vessel]

They haven't announced one. But rarely does the announced schedule accurately reflect the in-game events. Lots of timing discrepancies, unannounced surprise events. It's wonderful!

[molten cloak]

I think I’ll hold off for a few hours…

[signal seal]

Anyone have day 2 cypher information?

[north vessel]

Other than @pseudo rune (keep up the good work man!), quality control and inter-deparment communication seems non existent at scopely...

[devout holly]

@signal seal https://discord.com/channels/509679626763632640/993889300989100062

[wide girder]

If you think this simple event is going well, then just wait for the cross server incursions events🤣🤣

[austere rover]

My biggest battleship is Borta (c9/lv45). I need to kill 64 lvl40 explorers for meta. What system is better?

[north vessel]

Easiest is probably wolf

[fathom oasis]

I’ve got a t4 augur at ops 49 my top tier is 600k+, i’m now 1/00th done

[karmic vault]

I've been hunting in Wolf with the rest of the server.

Still spawns 40's at a decent rate though.

[inland hamlet]

So cypher when does arrow left nunber= add 3?

[drifting marsh]

You could probably also do alpha centauri if you don't want the crowd (though there are survey ships as well).

[inland hamlet]

Easiest is wait till everyone else is done

[north vessel]

If you can, just go to deep space with pmc in an explorer system. Pretty quick that way.

Finished in about 20min doing that.

[keen cedar]

Laaaaaaaaaag

[empty stratus]

Suliban bounty hunters are not counting toward recruit explorer sms. Using a bortas and the bounty hunters are listed as explorers.

[sharp cairn]

Someone earlier noted that bounty hunters were counting if you attack them. So no auto grind today

[frozen hinge]

guys, at the moment a hell of a lag in the game, for a simple event of killing hostiles... now imagine an incursion on the opposing server for this event, the servers will burn for real

[ornate geyser]

I think you may be overestimating how many people are going to risk going unshielded on the first attempt at an event like this…

[queen niche]

Where are these events at?

[devout holly]

@queen niche you should have hostile hunt ( explorer HH)
