Lag so bad the hostiles not arrived yet

[queen niche]

@devout holly ok thank you wasn't sure that's what it was.

[lost warren]

can't play with this lag 😭

[void frigate]

<@&509691205798592532> <@&509690795536941056> servers lag. Event’s counter do not update kills made with battleships anymore :/

(My bad if it has been already reported)

[shy otter]

Any have the answers for today's cipher?

[untold pendant]

1: Eojur 2: Vogum 3: Xabek 4: Rigel

[shy otter]

Thank you!

[hasty solar]

Is this a bug? I finished the sms but I didn’t get any pts for the meta?

[abstract gate]

Great game scopely

[hasty solar]

Disregard. Was just lag

[halcyon cloak]

Zoom in... an you will find sth awesome....

[pale kestrel]

those wonderful red indicators

[copper sierra]

I see really black for the inclusions event, if it is already lagging like that

[vivid oar]

Ping: 8.000.000ms

[crimson barn]

Could all those red check marks be a clue to what's really taking over the game...

[sage temple]

@pseudo rune Server 153 unplayable, please fix it.

[mental tulip]

No.

[covert spruce]

I’m sure the lag is nothing to worry about - it’s not as though they’re planning to run any events that will increase server load anytime soon….

[candid karma]

cant wait for incursions to begin 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[abstract gate]

Intern: fixed the sms boss

[empty grail]

Hello 👋 please who has the answers to this event?

[blissful dragon]

This lag is worse than any territory fight ever and we had some big territory fights ... incursions hasn't even started and they have screwed the servers. Think scopely are once again trying to run before they can walk with this new feature

[spark zealot]

look at #993889300989100062

[median vigil]

Finished hostile hunt and didn’t get points for the meta sms.. anyone else? Server 81

[blissful dragon]

Wait 5 years the lag will pass

[median vigil]

Weird.. ok. Got all other notifications.. will wait.

[lapis star]

The meta event has changed from the reset. It use to have the next two days also but was off. Use to be 4 shards for completing first day and then 2 shards for the next two events. Now just one event to finish

[vivid oar]

Really nice event. Thx Scopely for nothing👍

[onyx pagoda]

Really stupid lag on 155, cannot play, what will incursion be like, move to a low system, shield and take a SS of resources

[tame timber]

@pseudo rune when will see the dates n severs for us to know when our server participating in the incoming incrusion war

[hazy widget]

is the game with lags slowing down?

[full falcon]

Holy unplayable lags Batman.....

[somber vault]

game is totally unplayable due to lag

[twin bear]

This is just unplayable, I literally can’t do anything

[somber vault]

nothing works

[deep steeple]

So much lag thank god I don't have to kill hundreds of hostiles for an event today...oh wait...damn

[wide girder]

is the game down? it's not running on my phone and i'm barely able to get it running on the pc. and when it does run i am seeing no hostiles anywhere.

[opal cave]

Shaky.. it's just lag.. and a huge amount of it

[bright elk]

https://tenor.com/view/frustrating-frustrated-kid-cute-annoyed-gif-23776330

[north remnant]

I would tell you , but dont want to spoil the fun..

awful lag on the pc version, just restarted and its laggless

[wide girder]

shhhhhh! it's lagless now because everyone has given up for the night 🤣

[north remnant]

I should be so Laggy, Laggy laggy laggy, I should be so laggy in love.

[rough dust]

President @pseudo rune .. why do you keep lowering the difficulty of events after I'm done with them? 🤔

[pseudo rune]

This is the first time (at least in my experience) that we've run ship specific SMS where you need x ship and hit y ship

[sonic gazelle]

@pseudo rune when are they going to drop some info on Incursions? We were promised more info early this week, well according to the event schedule the first event starts tomorrow? But all the CCs were saying Saturday so any clarification would be appreciated.

[pseudo rune]

We realized that everyone has different priorities in the ships they're progressing towards and wanted to give those who maybe don't have the best battleship available a chance at finishing the event as well

[scenic cloud]

No no no. I already finished the ortegas milestone.

[pseudo rune]

If you were able to complete as is, that just means you're awesome ❤️

We're also looking at the other events similar to this one for this month so it hopefully doesn't happen again

[sonic gazelle]

Oh man you went OLD school Kylie! Lol

[steady lake]

What about the mid 40 people that only have 3* battleships you smhucks

[rough dust]

Or maybe it means I should get paid out for being "Heroic". 😉
People starting now are getting the same pay out for less work.

[glacial kernel]

So, I used a tier 5 Augur and I’m 47

[scenic cloud]

More crew packs please, as your spend contest's are too chance driven. Ill just buy the packs please

[vague yacht]

Here's a good question: Why are there no points displayed for 6* mats, since you can get them with a prime research pack?

[mental tulip]

Thank you. I had to drag the Kumari out of mothballs and hit low-level explorers so I didn't break it. It made me sad.

[north vessel]

Bonus refinery timings (CDT) and raw mats necessary for maxing it.

[pulsar fossil]

@pseudo rune So we get a reduction on the points needed for something that was actually doable, albeit a bit difficult. But still no fix for Disappearing Act, which is actually not physically possible if you didn't plan ahead and max out tetryons?

[north vessel]

The event was not doable for some players who do not have a suitable ship. It was also not intended to be that difficult.

[mental tulip]

Doesn't seem to include the regular refines?

[ornate geyser]

@pseudo rune - my SMS dropped from 200+ kills to 200- kills. For myself, this isn’t a meaningful improvement.

[north vessel]

Correct,

[pulsar fossil]

That's fine and actually the whole point of my statement. Disappearing Act is not doable for all players and it shouldn't be as difficult as it is

[ornate geyser]

It wasn’t doable - it required well over 200 kills for me. That’s not reasonable.

This is no way a defense of Disappearing Act, which is its own pile of…problems.

[north vessel]

It is doable, you just don't like it. Buy a cloak.

[pulsar fossil]

I have a cloak, what I didn't have wax max tetryons. I shouldn't have to be maxed and time all the pulls specially just to finish it.

[abstract gate]

Disappearing act is pretty bad on its own right now. To put it on the first day of the arc basically says to players don't use your tetryons for a week before arcfall

[rough mist]

it has trash rewards why get so upset about it?

[north vessel]

Weird. It's like it should award 500 points for unlocking a new cloak or something...

Yes it's an annoying event, but doable. For some players who have no battleship other than the Stella, today's Ortega event was impossible.

[pulsar fossil]

It's still doable at 200 kills. It sucks yes and is unreasonable, but doable. I finished it earlier with around 75 kills.

[pulsar fossil]

So if all my ships have cloaks already, how would I get points for that?

[abstract gate]

It's just bad design. Even if you have max tetryons you might have to be able to claim tets right at event reset. If an event requires you to be on at a certain time that's pretty silly

[ornate geyser]

Build more ships, obviously…

[north vessel]

How about you keep a level 26 ship on hand for events like these that are consistently run nearly every month at least once.

Stop complaining about your lack of foresight.

[runic scaffold]

What for?

[hexed kettle]

Dissapearing Act is likely a source of income from people who buy tetryons to complete it. Nothing against pay-to-win events, just mark them heroic so we can move on. However, if the intent is NOT to push sales of tetryon packs and the actual goal is to have an event most people can complete, it needs to be reworked. Badly.

[rough mist]

its an event designed to give you more of an incentive to get a cloak, not to be farmed out every time it comes up

[north vessel]

Useful for scrapping.

[abstract gate]

Rewards look pretty nice to me I need the 4 and 3 star unc ores

[abstract gate]

That's why they have tetryons in the pack store i guess huh?

[runic scaffold]

Topic was about the cloaking event😀

[ornate geyser]

You don’t lose cloak after scrapping…once you buy it, you can’t buy it again.

[pulsar fossil]

How about the people making the events make them accessible to players using current ships? Why should I need a ship many levels below my current to do events? And how are we supposed to know it's running if it's not posted. Why are you defending this disappearing act event? Must be a scopley employee

[north vessel]

No it wasn't. He was complaining about the alteration of the Ortega event and, not the disappearing act event

[hexed kettle]

No he wasn't. lol

[north vessel]

Yes he was

[hexed kettle]

He correctly pointed out that if Scopely can re-work the Ortega event when presented with evidence it wasn't a well-thought out event, they can do the same for Disappearing Act.

[runic scaffold]

Look again what you replied... it was about acquiring a claok to finish the event. Whatever

[abstract gate]

Previous iterations of disappearing act have had tetryons in the milestones

[rough mist]

Imagine using all your tetryons for some lowpaying sms event, yall must be on some farmville servers

[pulsar fossil]

yes they have, and that would be a good way to fix it

[mystic stream]

I was thinking the same thing when creating it

[hexed kettle]

Not everyone is on an establish 50+ server with lots of combat yet. Doesn't make it farmville 🤡

[abstract gate]

The few 20 dolla tetryon packs they sell in the store can't be worth the negativity surrounding the event

[north vessel]

It is not a new event. It has been run every month at least once since the introduction of cloaks. It's like complaining about not having enough mats to complete mat spending sms. You could have planned better, otherwise you can spend money to solve your problem.

[abstract gate]

It would be at least semi reasonable to put the event on the weekend so people have time to build up their tetryons

[pulsar fossil]

The problem is the tetryons max out, and you need to have over the max at start to be able to finish the event. There is no max to how many uncommons i can hold!

[north vessel]

You cannot spend a reasonable amount of money to complete the Ortega event if you do not have va suitable battleship for your ops.

[hexed kettle]

You read but did not comprehend, and are now doubling down on your nonsense. The Disappearing Act as a stand alone event is poorly structured. I was over 200 tetryons at arc fall and still would be 20 short of finishing, because at ops 34 I do not have spare resources to make a cloakable lvl 26 ship. Thats not a good event.

[runic scaffold]

You changed the subject.. no problem. I have no isse with that one. I still can build a few ships and take the cloaking. I might take cloaking for KTinga but not sure if useful as low pvp capabilities

[mystic stream]

Id love to see a bigger tetryon limit myself and even some bigger mycelium nodes 800 is annoying to mine all the time

[hexed kettle]

They fixed the Ortega event. Why are you even still going on about that? We are bringing up Disappearing Act in the hopes they make it a better event. Why is that bad, and why do you keep bringing up the Ortega event? Are you just here to purposely sabotage constructive feedback?

[north vessel]

The original topic was about the change to the Ortega sms milestone and not lowering the disappearing act milestone. I was pointing out that the event was literally impossible to complete without spending hundreds of dollars at higher ops if you did not have a suitable battleship on hand. I was mainly emphasizing he was comparing apples to oranges.

Tbh if they don't want to raise the tetryons cap, they should just add tetryons to the cloak daily goal rewards.

[hexed kettle]

"I was mainly emphasizing he was comparing apples to oranges." They're both events that for many players were difficult to complete. In that sense, they were apples to apples. And since they were tackling one difficult to complete event, it seemed like a good idea to bring up the other, in the hopes they'd make a positive change to that one. I think you interpreted his comparison as a complaint against the Ortega fix, when it was instead a request to apply a similar fix to Disappearing Act.

They could raise the tet cap, add tets to daily rewards, add tets to the sms rewards, make tets purchasable with faction credits, etc. Lots of possible solutions. As it stands, Disappearing Act just isn't a great event. Nobody is all that happy to see it on the calendar.

[woeful scaffold]

disappearing act is possible with a 26 ship so you attack the max number of hostiles per tettryon used. but it's silly to have to be near max stock to do it

[north vessel]

Agreed

[woeful scaffold]

but since I just torched my steel inventory, i'll be ok with the rewards helping restock a bit

[ornate geyser]

“Impossible without” is a more complicated way of saying “possible”.
Both events are “possible”…neither event is reasonable.

[north vessel]

I guess you're correct. Though comparing buying a single tetryons pack to buying 3*+ battleship seems like a magnitude of difference to me.

[ornate geyser]

To no-low spenders, which is the bulk of the player base, those are functionally equivalent requirements.

[dapper drum]

Such great luck 😭

Wouldnt be too hard to send out a free gift of a few tetryons with this event

[pseudo rune]

Thanks for all the feedback on Disappearing act

More than happy to bring these thoughts up to the team

Tons of great feedback and points so let me have some discussions for everyone

[hexed kettle]

Thanks Eco!

[edgy tundra]

@dapper drum Gotta use ships that are cheaper to cloak. Learned from same issue last month.

Disappearing Act has to be started with full Tets. Use them and collect resupply by 2 pm. Then you can resupply twice more before end of event.

[abstract gate]

@pseudo rune can you give us some insight on shards for ortega now that the meta event was truncated, will we receive the missing ones in some other ways?

[grizzled mulch]

Pike: We can try to save her life and I’ll give you 20 days of repair speedups, or we can escape and I’ll give you 20 days of build speedups.
Me: She’s probably already dead.

[solid reef]

Now that im done the event the lower the points. What about those of us that used cheerio support to complete it at the higher level. Glad it’s being fixed but feels like being skrewed over.

[grizzled mulch]

I think that’s the key take-away. I don’t think anyone’s happy to see the event, since it takes a fun mechanic and robs it all enjoyment.

[elder gyro]

I'm sitting there with you @dapper drum

[wispy fox]

Anyone got the solutions for the second cipher event? I’m way too drunk to figure this one out

[elder gyro]

Lol

[merry breach]

question... the uhura/ortegas recruit slb runs only 24h instead of 96h ... but it still runs 3 times during the month, right ?

[oak herald]

@pseudo rune any chance you know why they decided to run incursions on weekdays?

[pseudo rune]

The other meta events are going to still start tomorrow!

[dapper drum]

I was using my d3 as i always do, but because i didnt have the time to login and claim tetryons shortly after start i was short

[tawny olive]

Cause you prep on the weekend

[pseudo rune]

I don't have that info but I'm more than happy to take your feedback

[tawny olive]

https://tenor.com/view/ideas-genius-george-seinfeld-gif-16281624

[oak herald]

Thank you, I hope it’s something that’s looked into. I can’t speak for other’s schedules, but I’m fairly disappointed in the decision as I likely won’t get to participate much now. I imagine it’s the case for many other people though

[oak herald]

Should be the other way around, IMO. Preparation (if I’m understanding that correctly) should be fine on weekdays since you don’t need to be active during specific windows of time

[tawny olive]

I know, but sarcasm doesn't translate well to text

[merry breach]

that'S what memes are for 😉

[tawny olive]

I did use it lol

[oak herald]

To be fair I was already typing before the gif 🤣

Well, before I saw it haha

[abstract gate]

@pseudo rune disappearing act might need to be looked into. Having to log in at event reset for the possibility of completing an event isn't great. The event also dropped on arc reset, so no one had any warning to save tetryons. What this says to players is don't use cloaking at all a week before arcfall and be prepared to log in at event reset to complete

[oak herald]

Yeah this is definitely an issue. The event was fine when it also rewarded tetryons. No idea why they stopped, but I often hesitate to use my tetryons now

Probably gonna just start skipping the event from now on

[tawny olive]

Yep, I'll be short as well. This even is fricking lame. They either need to make the max 300 or give tetryons in daily goals

[oak herald]

I mean, I know why they stopped rewarding tetryons in the event. They want people to buy those garbage packs

[tawny olive]

If people are buying tetryons they need to be commited to a psych ward to get there head checked

[oak herald]

https://tenor.com/view/ironman-youre-not-wrong-gif-10796726

[fiery fulcrum]

The tetryon event is trash. Every time it requires you to have hoarded tetryons above the 200 limit, get killing as soon as rollover happens so you can pull the chest ASAP, and use level 26 ships so you get the max possible ship kills.

The moment they removed the tetryons as rewards for progressing, it became a cash grab

[tawny olive]

I used level 26 ships and had 225 when the event started and I will be sort. You have to have either265+ to even get it in two day the event is hot garbage

https://tenor.com/view/hot-garbage-haute-garbage-garbage-wwf-wrestling-gif-12508387

[tawny olive]

Last month they gave us 3 days.. This month scopely gave us the finger

[spring perch]

If you only have l26 cloak you need 375 to complete the event (15 cloaks). So you either need 245+ at the start and claim 2x 65 chests. Or if you come online in first few hours and claim the first one the reset time is 22 hours so you can actually claim 3 chests. So the minimum you would need to start with is 180.

If you have a l28 cloak too you can complete event with 12xl26 and 2xl28, so 360 total. This makes it possible starting at 230+ and getting 2 chests, or 165+ and getting 3 chests.

[tawny olive]

Yeah if you can log in and claim 3 chest.. Which I can't

Events a failure unless they give people more tetryons to start

They're expecting people to completely waste their Cosmic clean up every week on tetryons and it complete bs

[wispy pike]

The first iterations of Disappearing Act had tetryons in the milestone rewards. They should have never been removed.

[tawny olive]

Putting them in daily goals or putting the limit to 300 solves the issue

Or just running the event for 3 days

[ember falcon]

So no incursions now?

[vivid gyro]

First incursions are 11-13

[elder gyro]

They better not run ticketed events during incursions

[worldly kelp]

The recruit ortega event is probably one of the worst events scopely has come up with.

[vivid gyro]

Ticketed events might be during the incursion prep event, whatever that will be.

[vivid gyro]

Hitting explorers with a battleship is the worst event they’ve come up with?

[elder gyro]

Do you not have a battleship

[vivid gyro]

Stella counts.

[worldly kelp]

I have one but the rewards are not worth the effort.

[vivid gyro]

Oh boy the steel was worth it for sure.

Can never have enough uncommon and rare ore either 🤷🏻‍♂️

If you don’t like the event, it’s pretty simple, just don’t do it. No biggie

[tawdry kindle]

Either way, you need to have tetryons at or beyond your threshold limit…

Which is a bit bonkers in itself however one wanna put it, as basically Scopely saying “Hey we set your threshold limited to 200, but here’s an event for you that you cannot complete unless you are ~25% above your maximum allowed cappacity to begin with”🤪

[vivid gyro]

If you are able to collect your tet pull within two hours of reset you can get 3 pulls.

During the event.

[abstract gate]

Do you not have phones?

[ornate geyser]

A max Lego is my biggest. My milestone is 55k ish. Not even bothering…

[vivid gyro]

Shoot that would be a sweet milestone. I finished it before they adjusted the scores. Mine was 139k. Took 98 hostiles. 🤷🏻‍♂️ nothing but time for rewards.

You could always throw Lego and Stella in augment space. The bounty hunters are explorers.

[waxen galleon]

Time to fire the person who thought of this event.

[tawdry kindle]

Exactly, *”within TWO hours” yeh. Anyone not online in that very tight time frame likely won’t be able to complete it. And then you STILL need to have more tetrions to begin with above the threshold which Scopely is limiting you to…🥴

[vivid gyro]

Yep. Resource management. 🤷🏻‍♂️ it’s a weird event. I didn’t do any of them last month.

[tawdry kindle]

More like the usual infamous math meth perks on Scopely’s end imo…😏

[vivid gyro]

That’s one way to put it. The problem is that people are completing the event, so scopely is seeing the metrics from that.

[ornate geyser]

That’s not “resource management”, lol. That’s pivoting your life to accommodate a pointless mobile game.

[vivid gyro]

That no one is being forced to do, yet a lot of players are choosing to.

[ornate geyser]

No idea how many are choosing to…only Scopely knows.

[vivid gyro]

Apparently enough for them to keep running the event in it’s current state.

I would assume they are probably selling a lot of tetryon packs.

[jolly tulip]

Timezones event reset is 2am for me

[vivid gyro]

Middle of my work day. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[jolly tulip]

Much easier to deal with during a lunch break

2am is bonkers

[vivid gyro]

The assumption that I can take a lunch in that time period. But ok. I don’t really understand the point you are trying to make? All I was pointing out is that it is possible to get 3 pulls from the tet chest. I didn’t say that I did. I in fact did not, was not available at all until I got home from work.

[tired whale]

Does anybody know the answers to the cypher? I got the first 2already.

[vivid gyro]

Cipher 2:
eojur
vogum

[vivid gyro]

Oh you need the first ones.

[tired whale]

I had the first 2 of the first one

[vivid gyro]

Answers to A Strange New Cipher

1.2 - Kill hostile in Calex
1.3 - Kill hostile in Friefra
1.4 - Kill hostile in Elva

[tired whale]

cool thanks!

[haughty horizon]

So suliban bounty hunters (explorers) don’t count toward the battle ship event?

[ornate geyser]

If you attack them…farming dunna work…

[haughty horizon]

I have 6 battle ships parked in augment space getting spammed but not getting any points

[worldly kelp]

I had a ship in augment. No points either. The other way it’s gonna take me around 150 to 200 ships to finish that event. No sure I’m going to take that kinda time

[ornate geyser]

If you attack them…farming dunna work…

[haughty horizon]

Real kick in the dik, I turned on a battleship buff as well but am not scoring points in the Cerritos event either

[sweet shore]

Arrrggghhhhh I was doing that all day

I really wish they put that in the description

[timber wind]

What's this new event gunna look like with the cross over anyone have an idea?

[hasty hill]

Which one of the areas is for today's strange new world 2.1?

[outer cobalt]

Scopely, this kill explorers with battleships event blows. 200+ ships I need to kill after a 12 hour shift in addition to all the daily chores and other events is way too much. You guys need to play the game and try to complete your events, dailies and that seriously time consuming event to understand. Seems like nobody working for the company does. Just a heads up.

[bold citrus]

How come spending event is 24 hours instead of the announced 72?!

[upper wren]

The rewards versus time I can understand this cuz then it'd give a free-to-play player a way to catch up to a cashier who doesn't want to spend that time

[outer cobalt]

I don’t disagree and I wouldn’t mind spending the time if I was able to. Sadly there’s only 24 hours in a day. Just not a good event, especially for folks with jobs and families. I thought a while back scopely said they weren’t trying to keep players in the game for long times to finish events (other then leaderboards)

[worldly kelp]

You know that won’t matter they just use some dev cheat to get the high level ships and then tell us we are crazy

[outer cobalt]

Spot on with that one ☝️

[vivid gyro]

Not every event is meant to be completed by every player. We place this burden on ourselves with the mentality that we must do it all every day. Your real life should always come first. If you can’t or just flat out don’t want to do an event, don’t. You aren’t really losing much in the long run.

[mental tulip]

Tell that to everyone who missed Tendi by one event.

[vivid gyro]

I did. A lot.

[mental tulip]

They literally designed that so you had to do every single one or you couldn't get the reward. Which was a load of BS.

[vivid gyro]

Especially when it actually came down to it and there was a point buffer.

[vivid gyro]

You didn’t get that one officer at that one time. I mean, I get it but what did you lose?

[mental tulip]

Tendi. I just said.

[vivid gyro]

Ok but you got the rewards from all of the events you did complete, right?

[mental tulip]

Straw man.

"Not every event is meant to be completed" doesn't work with "complete every event to win".

They literally did the second, so the first is not true.

[vivid gyro]

They did. Doesn’t mean that you have to. It’s a choice to try and complete everything. If Tendi was that important, you would have figured out a way. A LOT of people did.

[mental tulip]

You're missing the point, almost intentionally. You're claiming they don't do a thing and I presented an example of them doing it. Now you're distracted by a detail.

[vivid gyro]

I didn’t claim that they don’t do a thing.

I said, not every event is meant to be completed by every player.

[mental tulip]

Not every event is meant to be completed by every player.
"Is meant" refers to STFC's game designers, because who else would mean for something to be completed?

[abstract gate]

Very likely because they botched the event rollout and don't want to do the whole restart and give people points back fix

[vivid gyro]

Clearly they knew going in that people would struggle with Tendi. That’s why there were purchase options.

[mental tulip]

Whatever. Done with you.

Like trying to teach a dog to sing.

[oblique coral]

https://tenor.com/view/shutup-wesley-captain-picard-gif-13150219

[vivid gyro]

Good. Because if it was important you would have found a way.

[oblique coral]

Never a better time to use that one

[mental tulip]

https://tenor.com/view/cute-dog-tail-wag-taste-the-rainbow-gif-16619186

[vivid gyro]

The player base puts this burden of “I must complete it all!” on ourselves. The devs don’t.

They gave an out with Tendi, here buy this pack and sit back and relax.

[mental tulip]

That's not an out for F2P.

[vivid gyro]

Or, here’s a novel concept, it’s a game. You aren’t losing anything in the long term.

[oblique coral]

I won’t even go so far as to say “the event design is generally fair”

But the exchange was

“Not every event is meant to be completed by everyone”

“But what about this one event that had no rewards unless completed”

“Well that event had to be completed to get rewards. A lot of people did”

”straw man”

Like. How did we get here.

“If you don’t agree with me you must be one of THEM”

[vivid gyro]

🤦🏻‍♂️ because they gave an out.

Honestly, there was absolutely nothing during Tendi that was hard or non-compostable.

[oblique coral]

There was a mistake and there were extra possible points too. Which was kind of annoying because I’d already bought a cheaper of those packs “just in case”

But I’m sure that also helped out a lot of people so? Good, happy accident.

[vivid gyro]

I also didn’t say this, so don’t put words where they aren’t:

“Well that event had to be completed to get rewards. A lot of people did”

I said, if it was important you would have found a way.

None of this is important. The game could shut down tomorrow and none of this matters.

[oblique coral]

Wait I forgot why I came in here.

[vivid gyro]

Because people want to cry because of the burden they put on themselves because of unfair events.

[oblique coral]

I wanted to share this in case anyone wanted to solve the thing with maybe like, half the shenanigans of solving the whole thing.

Sure you can just look for the answers but 🤷‍♂️ middle ground? Idk. Maybe dumb.

[outer cobalt]

The fomo (fear of missing out) is real. Can’t tell you how many folks missed out on something because of 1 missed event. I understand your point and it’s valid. I’m just stating it’s a slippery slope. 1 event you can’t finish turns in to more in the future. Then it’s getting to the point of why buy packs, why bother playing this game anymore if you can’t complete events. Delete and off to a new game 😇

[vivid gyro]

But what’s the flip side? Stress, anxiety and anger because you don’t have time to grind out 100 hostiles?

[dawn frost]

@pseudo rune , a follow up from the announcements just now. These 'Recruit Ortegas and Uhura' event group will run once for 24 hours only or three times of 24 hours?

[outer cobalt]

Negative, it only takes away from the enjoyment of playing the game. Simple. It’s over 200 hostiles btw 😉

[vivid gyro]

Mine only took 98 and that was before they lowered the milestones.

[north pike]

Changing event run times after announced and started is appaling. Please stop this. Why change recruit slb to 24 hours as already planned upgrades to time for upcoming daily and then you reduce time nullifying this. Would have done upgrades last night if that was the case.

We plan for events so changing them with little or no warning is not on. @pseudo rune

[vagrant mulch]

Dont think it was changed, but deployed with the wrong timer same as Ortegas meta. Instead of pulling it when lots pf ppl have scored points they will run it for the 24hrs.

[viscid helm]

same here, this event is absolutely rediculous... binding it to a certain shiptype, but the score to level just says: oopsie, we screwed two thirds of the players for picking the wrong faction (today, we will screw the others tomorrow) - oh and by the way, the only way to score faster in an event to recruit a certain officer is buying the certain officer in store... new all time low for scopely

[bold citrus]

Kinda struggling with this too, but I'll hold on through... Gives some rare ore 🤣🤣

[grizzled mulch]

“New?” lol

[scenic cloud]

1: Eojur, 2: Vogum, 3: Xabek, 4: Rigel

[cunning radish]

the events are the same every arc - no one ever has the 'bonus' officer the first week or so unless they buy it

it's more or less the exact same event as theyve run 100 other times

https://tenor.com/view/facepalm-really-stressed-mad-angry-gif-16109475

[scenic cloud]

I bought all 4 packs of ortegas.......

[cunning radish]

cool

[runic scaffold]

So many comments on Disappearing Act event SMS... True need some careful planning or just buy a cloak. What maybe not known you don't need to own the ship you're buying the cloak, just unlock it in the Ship Hangar👍

[eager hollow]

@dawn frost first event 24 hours, the next three will be 96. The 24 hour recruitment slb was accidental. Although I think I prefer 24 event compared to 96

[ornate geyser]

FOMO is a choice. Just let it go, man…

[elder gyro]

I own all the cloaks but thanks for playing

Also started with 240 trityons

Still 10 off completing it

[scenic cloud]

Different ship cloaks cost Different amounts, trityon management.

[runic scaffold]

Sorry, wrong planning. With 240 and 2 x 65 from refreshes you can make it.

[crimson barn]

The unfortunate reality is now it's best to plan your tetryon storage in advance of battle passes, rather than using them for regular game play. I made sure i had 250 stored in the lead up and finished the event the next afternoon when i could claim the second batch of 65 tetryons.

That's all tetryons are good for now, which makes the whole mechanic pointless

[abstract gate]

They started the event on arcfall, no warning. Also sub ops 36 players only get 55 tets per day. The cloaking event in its current form is meant to generate fomo and its bad. Now to prepare you must stop cloaking 5 days before arcfall. That's just bad design. The negative sentiment generated from the multiple design flaws in the event is not worth the few packs they sell from it

I get 55 tets per day. I started with 240 tets. I am able to complete it only because of dumb luck in that I was too lazy to do cloaking dailies and I was on to start the event and claim tets within 2 hrs of event start. Now I have an alarm set to be able to claim tets a third time and finish the event. The only explanation is they're trying to sell tetryons. Kinda makes me sick

[wild pelican]

Where do the side missions drop for the complete new missions event? Ive finished Both Fear Itself missions and nothings dropped or opened.

[abstract gate]

they will drop ... eventually ... maybe

[ember falcon]

Hearing rumors that incursions have been canceled... Can anyone confirm

[fathom shuttle]

No such info has been passed around here.
And I sure as hell hope they don't cancel it. It is currently the only hope of light in the darkness that is mind numbingly boring PVE/Mining.

[ember falcon]

Lots on my server are looking forward to it... But I am hearing rumors that scamplay is canceling it... Not seeing anything under arc... Nore have they given arc calendar for my server... Hearing to many farmers have complained... It's a warship game not Farmville...

[fathom shuttle]

It is in the calender on the splash screen on game startup though.

[ember falcon]

Not for server 16

Has not given it yet

[tough cliff]

thnx for this

[scenic cloud]

1: Eojur, 2: Vogum, 3: Xabek, 4: Rigel

[still gust]

@scenic cloud 👍

[vestal grove]

That would be nice

[abstract gate]

These are just that. Rumours

[vestal grove]

I hope they do cancel it. Game is unplayable allready without this rss burner. There a not a lot things scopely does right.... in fact its getting worse a d worse and instead of breaking more things they should fix old things first!

[bitter snow]

We still don't know how this is going to shape up, and you're already decided... why not just stop playing now?

[vestal grove]

If you just think about it.... so much game issues that needs to be sorted and only thing they do is overcompensating in pushing new things untested. Im not against the idea im just saying in all the mess they make fix it before breaking even more

[bitter snow]

Meanwhile, more players are getting bored with the game as-is, so new content is the only way to keep those players engaged

[fathom shuttle]

I am with you on their technical incompetence. But that has been a constant for years. They simply won't change that.
So, as much as I would love for them to skip a month of new content for true bug fixing and performance improvements, I know that won't happen even if they cancel the event.

[bitter snow]

But their bug and content teams are also not the same people

So, they can manage both at once

[abstract gate]

Liberal usage of the word manage 👀

[vestal grove]

They are no team.... teams would team up...

[bitter snow]

From a dev's perspective, the time to take the pressure off of content and fix stuff I would imagine is definitely there... but fixing stuff that works most of the time doesn't bring in the money

[fathom shuttle]

Liberal usage of the phrase "most of the time" 👀

[bitter snow]

I've done the support-dev role before, and it's gruelling, and frustrating when the production devs are just chucking whatever they like over the fence for you to deal with when it hits clients 😂

[vestal grove]

Getting bored on playing then stop.... that nonstop need to push new things.... finetuning is more needed as that screaming ooooo its a wargame.... its not... pvp is part yes but its not a wargame...

[bitter snow]

Really nice to work at a company where I'm just on internal systems, much less pressure 😂

[bitter snow]

It would be disingenuous to suggest anything else 😂

[fathom shuttle]

I also work on in-business applications. Those users/customers can be just as terrible as external ones. 😅

[bitter snow]

Had one guy write a really nicely arranged bit of java and send it to live without testing it

And I know it was untested, because we were a php house

so it never would have run 😂

[fathom shuttle]

PRD is just another word for TST

[bitter snow]

founder is/was a developer himself, so he's surprisingly understanding 😂

[untold osprey]

Being hit by Bounty Hunters in Augment space is not scoring for the recruit event, as they are explorers and I was using a Battleship,I don’t see in the event description you won’t score in Augment space so I’m puzzled as why it is not scoring ?

[pale kestrel]

you have to initiate the attack, not let them attack you

[untold osprey]

Don’t say that in the description

[pale kestrel]

auto attacking for most events won't score. has been that way for a while now.

[balmy verge]

Been there/done that. Company went to DevOps model where teams implementing something owned the whole stack from design to support. It was amazing the level of empathy & ‘holy 💩’ came from the folks that would design/build & toss over the wall to implement/support teams. It really hurt when there was an ~85% reduction in contract support staff. Suddenly all the fun but unnecessary bells & whistles were out the window & a focus on what was needed was put in place. My wife still works there & things are more vanilla than caramel ribbon with hot fudge, whipped cream, and cherry on top.

[static wigeon]

3 questions if anyone can help:

1 Is there going to be a second Recruit Uhura&Ortegas SLB?

2 Is there an Ultra spend event this month?

3 The Incursions event rewards a buff to those who "participate" Does that mean that you must invade the other server or will defensive hits count?

[humble socket]

#3) I was wondering the same thing... Sounded like you had to invade other server to participate....

[meager galleon]

3. Winners get a server wide buff, it’s in the news article - I believe that’s what you’re referring to at least

Event specifics are in the in game news - with dates on when they run

I could go look them up, but you’ll find it easier yourself 🙂

[humble socket]

Scopely doesn't always explain events very well...

[static wigeon]

I assume you have to invade to score

[meager galleon]

Yes, so likely there will be some credit given during some events that will flag you as a participant

[untold osprey]

Normally it score a point for your server

[meager galleon]

Doubtful it will be only for invading.

[runic scaffold]

Sure for recruit not a must to use the ultra right now, it is not specific, just officer shards...

[deft flax]

Get rid of the red notifications! I don’t need y’all reminding me to collect my rewards!!

[silver pike]

#⚡-mod-announcements

[glacial mauve]

@pseudo rune can you please ask the team to stop with the ops35-39 brackets for spend SLB's

how are people supposed to compete with people who have the jelly event and camp ops39

[karmic vault]

Is there a calendar/list of the daily Battlepass events (the ones that give the Battlepass points) for us to plan on? I've seen calendars of the other daily battlepass events (uhura/ortega/etc), but not the ones for the battlepass points.

[silver pike]

No there isn’t

Take a guess that there will be around 3 ATA bp events at least and your golden. The rest don’t need planning normally

[karmic vault]

The away team ones are especially annoying because I have a habit of claiming my away team missions right before reset...

Although one side effect of the overload of red notifications is that I'm not habitually clicking everything with a red notification anymore... 🙂

[silver pike]

I never claim anything in the last 5 hours of event reset if it doesn’t score for an event

Good habit to develop

The ultra recruit spend event taught me well

[karmic vault]

Yeah, unfortunately I have a bad "Oh, shiny object <click>" habit.

[silver pike]

Same but habits are there to be broken

[karmic vault]

lol

[rough juniper]

What I have to do for the new chiper 1.1?

[glacial mauve]

#993889300989100062

[unkempt vector]

@scopely
For the upcoming server versus server incursion event what level are territories... are they 20 and above or 19 and below?

[wintry cypress]

Territory are lvl 20, so no shields

[glacial mauve]

guess who is ops39 in this 35-39 bracket

[abstract gate]

So there's no spend event now till next week?

[cyan kettle]

I love the new retrieving event

[glacial mauve]

thats all this week

[glacial mauve]

you just need to score with retrieving...

[cyan kettle]

Which system, though

[glacial mauve]

its in retrieving...

located next to working as intended

[cyan kettle]

10-4

[errant iron]

Anyone have any idea if an event might be coming up where I can benefit from building either of these? 👀

[pale steppe]

Retrieving… is the name of my new Punk Jazz Quartet with Three People

[desert laurel]

They can cloak so that might be useful, or if you spend mats for recruit spend auctions

[errant iron]

True. I ask because there’s sometimes events that ask you to build very specific ships to score massive points lol

[junior kraken]

any1 knows what to do?

[obsidian sundial]

Mine doing the same

[gray ravine]

Been a while since we've had a Retrieving event! I love those!

[glacial mauve]

one of these?

[junior kraken]

thx

[glacial mauve]

time to hunt some borg?

[sonic stirrup]

Retrieving... good job Scopely! Way to be on point once again

[abstract gate]

So no spend/recruit event the rest of the week just the 24 hr one?

[glacial mauve]

its because you are using internet explorer

[rough dust]

President @pseudo rune, should i start the Battleship event now, or are you going to make it easier before first?

[junior kraken]

🤣

[jovial crypt]

Not scoring double points…

[white light]

Can y’all go one day without any screw ups?

[rough dust]

Force Stop and Clear Cache. Cleaned mine right up.

[fleet blade]

@pseudo rune We do have a life besides this game. The Recruit Ortegas/Uhura SMS events are absurd.

[tough cliff]

Same

[potent sun]

Look, just because it will take 3 full franklin A hulls at level 38 to complete the event doesn't make it unreasonable (yes, yes it does)

[silent cedar]

you get more than enough trit to cover repairs from swarm refinery

[fleet blade]

Lucky you. It's going to take me a lot more hulls

[oblique hemlock]

FYI

[oblique hemlock]

did that and also repaired the game on PC ... worked fine

[proven bluff]

@desert laurel Does Scopley share any info with you about the number of players who quite because of the way they mismanage the game?

[glacial mauve]

they wouldnt even share that internally

its all about new people joining and active player base

[ashen wharf]

mobile games never state their losses

[lost abyss]

If they did there’d be errors the first time it was reported

[ashen wharf]

thats why they do "THANKS FOR 1 MILLION DOWNLOADS"

they dont ever say thanks for 600000 Deletions

would make them look bad lol

they also hide their active player numbers

[hasty lintel]

Wasnt the recruit auction supposed to end on the 9th, not today??

[glacial mauve]

no it said 24h

[lost abyss]

The last time they tried to do something like that it was on Facebook showing how many ships had been built and missions done and stuff, it got shredded when people did some math on how many people actually never progressed in the game for those numbers to be right

[abstract gate]

@pseudo rune the new Cortega meta gives only 2 shards, the canned one from yesterday gave 2 too, so 4 in total, compared to the uhura one that gives 6 in total, it means that we will get 2 shards less for ortega, I hope we will still be able to unlock her anyway

[ashen wharf]

true lol

it was less than 20,000 if i remember

[halcyon trail]

Recruit Uhura <???> - SMS (guessing) is just Retrieving...

[oblique hemlock]

Kill BS with ceptors

[worthy plaza]

Did anyone else get screwed? I won the recruit lb but it didn't award the right number of shards

[lost abyss]

Remember it takes 38 shards to unlock them to t1. Gonna bet you actually got everything you were supposed to

[pale steppe]

❓Are we supposed to get Completed New Missions points for completing the mission in the Holodeck today?

[weak axle]

Why Ortega to attack swarms when her ability is on a battleship?

[pale kestrel]

no.
Only Course Correction is in there and it is only 5 points.

[pale steppe]

NM I think it came through. I have 15/25 points

[pale steppe]

So that’s a yes

[weak axle]

Uhura bonus not working with her on bridge. Cleared cache, restarted, etc.

[pale kestrel]

swarms are interceptors, so why would i use a bridge crew slot (if I had the officer) that would be useless because their ability is attacking from a battleship against explorers, Scopely? More evidence you don't even play your own game?

[weak axle]

Ortega bonus not working either.

[drifting marsh]

Eh, its par for the course for events that call for specific officers. I've never seen it be worth the bonus points to use their specific crew instead of a standard hostile crew.

[deep steeple]

Todays event even harder than yesterday. What's the best way to score 36k points using only a vidar?

[clever wasp]

Actually not as bad as normal. If you had SNW Pike & Spock. But still weird

[pale kestrel]

it's downright stupid. I remember months ago they had a survey out that asked what one of our frustrations were with the game and a lot of people responded with spending too much time completing events and they started adjusting scoring mechanisms and goals so they could be completed in a reasonable time frame. Now we're back to where we began and getting worse.

[deep steeple]

Borg probes score tiny amount of points

[summer compass]

@pseudo rune Please share with those that should hear: I am very please with the way they have set up the Ortegas and Uhura recruiting. Grinding it out hunting Reds. It's universal: P2P & F2P. All it requires is time and effort. Thank you for your support of the community. Thank you to the team that designed this mechanic.

[abstract gate]

do not go for borgs, but use an hostile crew and punch up the more you can with faction battleships

[deep steeple]

I get the feeling a 1.2m vidar can't punch that high

[abstract gate]

i think you can easily go against 36-38 hostiles with a maxed one

[pastel valley]

Ortega isn't giving double points for the swarm event.

[rough dust]

@pseudo rune ... lil help...

[desert laurel]

I need to do borgs today anyway, going to double dip. Borgs first to work on my MSs then, finish off with a real grind

[rough dust]

Never mind. Points were delayed.

[pseudo rune]

Thanks for letting me know =]

I was grinding borgs with Ohura yesterday

Ohura is pretty amazing

Greatly higher than pmc with a full SNW crew

[abstract gate]

Are the milestones gonna be dropped like yesterday?

[pseudo rune]

And even better with Ohura, even and eight

[glacial mauve]

I couldnt get uhura because someone put ops35 in with the ops39 in the SLB

[pseudo rune]

The milestones were adjusted before the event came out to match yesterday's adjustments

[abstract gate]

Sounds like someone ops'd up to 39 during event lol

[glacial mauve]

no its 35-39 event

[abstract gate]

They don't look similar 🤷‍♂️

[desert laurel]

They are for me, but there's a big difference between killing explorers and battleships.

[storm vault]

@pseudo rune I am killing lvl 44 battle ships with snw uhura on bridge…lvl 44 should be 1590 pts and x2 with uhura on bridge…only getting 1590 pts

[desert laurel]

What level are you?

[abstract gate]

Oh you might have just answered my question

Ops'd up lol

44-45

[pseudo rune]

Looking into this right now so we can get it adjusted Fran

[storm vault]

Thx eco

[pseudo rune]

Anytime friend

[abstract gate]

I was tired pumping rss out nvm me @pseudo rune haha

[weak axle]

I tried putting SNW Uhura as capt, not captain. Same with Otega and don't see the double points.

[wide umbra]

ah yes the Retrieving Event!?

[torpid light]

@pseudo rune any chance the event can be adjusted with half points for using a non-interceptor. Very hard trying to get 136k points without a decent interceptor that can cope with DS battleships.

[fresh rampart]

So another day, another event not scoring correctly

[glacial mauve]

maybe run a dev server that has all the events a day or 2 in advance...

[vernal sun]

I’m not getting points for Battleship Hostiles attacking my interceptors. And the event doesn’t say I have to initiate the attack.

[mental tulip]

Always presume you do.

[safe flower]

Definitely not getting double points with Uhura in SMS.

[dire quail]

Another shocking event

[uneven rapids]

At least yours is showing!

[safe flower]

I had to restart my app to see the details.

[harsh warren]

Great gift! Thanks

[bronze hull]

Terminimurus or Gyahan - you'll need about 80-100 kills, which is grindy but not super difficult

[weak axle]

put uhura as capt. That seems to be working

[rapid axle]

Okay dumb question why Ortegas for Swarm and not Spock? I know Arc, but Swarm are Intercept and the Franklin is an Explorer

[carmine slate]

So who can tell me what is wrong in this picture?

[uneven rapids]

I will try again web..

[fervent crypt]

Idk

[safe flower]

So, how do I get points by destroying hostiles with SNW Uhura on the bridge when the scoring metric is 2x? 2 x 0 = 0

[fervent crypt]

They're working on a fix

[mental tulip]

Can we all just agree to not try events for the first two hours and assume they’re broken? Because every event starts broken. Every day.

[carmine slate]

Recruit Uhura Battleship SMS does not count towards her Meta

[safe flower]

Says destroy battleship hostiles with interceptor OOORRRR destroy hostiles with SNW Uhura on bridge. Then get double points doing both.

I want to do the "OR".

I don't think the OR is possible.

[solemn solar]

If we all did that, we'd be back at square one again just 2 hrs later 🤣

[desert laurel]

That's not "or," that's a bonus metric to be used in conjunction with another scoring card.

[shadow sparrow]

The bonus isn't working at all, so you don't have to care about the description.

[spice plover]

Yup, some smart ass dev finds it funny to excluded other ships for normal points.

[mental tulip]

True. They don’t play their own game so they wouldn’t find it without their paying beta test customers.

[solemn solar]

Poor scopely quality control working in his basement speaking the wrong language

[safe flower]

My point is the description says bonus for both. You should be able to kill any hostile on any ship with SNW Uhura on the bridge and earn points.

[carmine slate]

"control"

[solemn solar]

What?!
An event aimed and marketed at "buy our new product to wmeveb compete reasonably?"
Who'd have thought scopely would do such a thing.

[solemn solar]

So your not getting points using a different ship with Uhura on the bridge?

[shadow sparrow]

You don't get any bonus, no matter on what ship Uhura is or who you kill.

[pseudo rune]

Made a note about this in #⚡-mod-announcements

[safe flower]

Game Annoucement says SNW Ortegas not SNW Uhura

[pseudo rune]

Oh my bad! Let me adjust accordingly =]

[safe flower]

lol 😂

[storm vault]

Not getting x2 bonus with either officer

[wide umbra]

i did the Uhura mission in like 15 min np probs so far

[urban spire]

Uhura is scoring double points just fine.

[clever wasp]

Ortega event isn't giving bonus points either

[storm vault]

Uhura on intercepter Ortega on Franklin A not scoring double points

[safe flower]

Correct, no points for using Uhura on the bridge of an Explorer.

[ornate geyser]

It’s not an “OR”.

[safe flower]

Looks like an "OR" to me.

Says do one OR the other with bonus for doing both.

Perhaps whoever wrote it didn't understand the scoring metrics.

[ornate geyser]

Yeah, I hear ya, unfortunately thats not the in-game description. What you are reading from is routinely misleading, vague or outright incorrect. Not defending it…not at all, it’s a crap way of releasing content…

[safe flower]

That is in-game on mine.

Word for word on the big board too.

[ornate geyser]

Wow…ok, you’re right, it is in mine, too. They really screwed the pooch on this one.

[safe flower]

Makes you want to pull your hair out. LOL 😂

[waxen galleon]

And I assume the fix will be retroactive……

[pseudo rune]

I tried Ortega and it worked for me

30 swarm got 44 points

[clever wasp]

Let me attempt again. I was killing 41 swarms and got base amount of points. Give me a few minutes to check again

[pseudo rune]

Ortega is on bridge right?

Not captain slot or lower decks

[safe flower]

Not on server 56.

[urban spire]

So we have an event that requires killing Swarm (interceptros) with a crew member that only works on explorers vs BattleShips? lol

[storm vault]

Ortega on bridge…lvl 46 swarm did not give double points

@pseudo rune

[pseudo rune]

weird....

[urban spire]

Ortega doesn't Activate against intereceptors... that's a problem but confirmed also that she does not activate on 50 swarm for double points either

[pseudo rune]

Sounds good let me follow up

[storm vault]

Uhura on kelvin…bridge officer…did not give double points killing battle ship

[pseudo rune]

Can you try slotting Ortega in bridge slot 1 please?

And see if that works

[urban spire]

@pseudo rune points above after 1 Swarm 50 kill.

[pseudo rune]

Also Ohura, I'm on borg space and grinding out my hull

Ortega is in bridge slot one for me

[storm vault]

By bridge slot 1 do you mean capt

[pseudo rune]

The far left slot

[modern estuary]

anyone getting the recruit uhura meta sms not completing?

[pseudo rune]

Not the far right

[urban spire]

Uhura is fine for double points scoring against battleships on interceptor, getting double points fine. @pseudo rune

[pseudo rune]

@urban spire What slot is Uhura in?

[urban spire]

side slot

[pseudo rune]

Left or right

[keen lily]

My post get removed?

[urban spire]

@pseudo rune shouldn't matter but left

[pseudo rune]

Left

Left is working right isn't

[fleet atlas]

When is the next event to unlock origins? 😮 🙂

[urban spire]

ah

[pseudo rune]

Mine is in the right slot and not getting the points

[wide umbra]

@pseudo rune now they have removed the page to see how much help has been sent to us, how do we see how much help has been sent for ship repairs?

[urban spire]

damn Lefty's 😉

[pseudo rune]

I'll send the message out

[clever wasp]

Ortega is in the bridge as an officer

[urban spire]

should I try Ortega in the left?

[storm vault]

Ortega working in left hand slot

[urban spire]

are we doing the hoky poky @pseudo rune ? lol

[pseudo rune]

Yes please lol

I would recal but I don't wanna waste my Transwarp cell

😛

[urban spire]

send me some mycelium

[storm vault]

Uhura now working when in left hand slot

[shrewd knot]

So how is grinding 50-80 swarms then 40-50 battleships less screen time?

[urban spire]

@pseudo rune Ortega left slot, working

but why we are using ortega for Interceptors is baffling

[pseudo rune]

What do you mean?

[urban spire]

That's Spocks ability

Ortega is for battleships vs explorers

[pseudo rune]

use Spock AND ortegas, best of both worlds

[urban spire]

I suppose

[mental tulip]

She’s just dead weight in swarms.

[urban spire]

100% dead weight

for me it doesn't matter I can kill swarms with M'benga ;P

[pseudo rune]

Let me recall and look at the synergy

[pale kestrel]

because an event designer doesn't play the game let alone read the officer abilities

[pseudo rune]

I think the synergy on Pike really matters

I was using Ohura with Pike and La'an and was getting WAY more borg probes and using 7 8 and Ohura

[urban spire]

I mean if you need to use SPike, Ortega gives synergy so can help a tiny tiny bit but other than that she is useless against interceptors

[ornate geyser]

700+ max-borg kills needed for this Interceptor event…that’s a hard pass, lol.

[urban spire]

hit bigger interceptors

er battleships

well both for the 2 events

[worthy ridge]

What’s the uhuar event all I get is retrieving

[clever wasp]

Can confirm. @pseudo rune come in man. Only the left side. We've got to talk to game design

[pale kestrel]

kill 3000 battleships with an interceptor

[safe flower]

Restart your app

[worthy ridge]

Ok thanks

[urban spire]

even with Uhura the Battleship event is painful

[ornate geyser]

Lowest I can get it is 125 ish kills at 40. Not worth the bother for me…

[pale kestrel]

ikr. not everyone has g4/g5 battleships/interceptors/explorers

[urban spire]

why would you need a battleship for either event today?

you need an explorer and interceptor

[mental yoke]

Swarm event is painful. That’s a lot of swarmies to kill for it.

[mental tulip]

Aaaaaall of this is why I ain’t touching 40 unless I have to. 🙂

[urban spire]

https://tenor.com/view/btesch-hey-girl-can-i-buy-you-a-drink-gif-13246012 @pseudo rune lol

[shrewd knot]

Double grinding is even more annoying. Make them stack or split the days. Spending hours clicking is grooling

Ok top of I don't want to live on this game. Got thing in real life to do.

[pale kestrel]

and not everyone is going to have uhura/ortega except maybe 50-60 people on a server from the slb this early into the arc.

[versed ferry]

Um so I completed the sms but it didn’t give me credit.

[pseudo rune]

Wait I'm trying something

[balmy verge]

Anyone know what this?

[pseudo rune]

What if you did SNW Ortegas, pike, and then Ta'lan

I'm about to test

[versed ferry]

Destroy battleships with an interceptor

[pale kestrel]

that's what the devs should've been doing before releasing live.....

[safe flower]

restart your app

[pseudo rune]

This is just for my own brain to see what set works =]

[versed ferry]

Why didn’t I get credit for the sms?

[pseudo rune]

I think this is fun, trying out different crews with specific mechanics involved

[versed ferry]

I completed the event but I didn’t get points towards the Uhura completion event

[abstract gate]

Might be lag, give it a min or 10

[pseudo rune]

Could just be a delay, let me know if it stays that way

What Tommie said lol

[urban spire]

You'd want chen if you want to use ortega properly on an battleship vs explorers

[pale kestrel]

that is what we had hoped the Holodeck was going to be for as had been suggested in the #keep📜suggestions-archive

[wide umbra]

am i missing something why would you use Ortega to fight intys?

[fierce shard]

Hunting battleships with interceptor and uhura on bridge on left bracket or as captain gives 2x points on right not

[pale kestrel]

because a game event designer doesn't play the game or read officer abilities

[safe flower]

To circle back to this, SNW Uhura only works on the left side of the bridge. I do get points for attacking surveys with SNW Uhura on the left side only. If I attack a battleship with SNW Uhura on the left side of my D4, I'm getting double points.

[urban spire]

you wouldn't, that's a event glitch...

[pseudo rune]

Put a note about this in #⚡-mod-announcements

[safe flower]

I see that. The concern early was the OR part of the description not working. It does work, using the left slot as you mentioned.

[urban spire]

@pseudo rune is the Arc Runner this month a south paw? I thought that was illegal! 😉

[versed ferry]

Yup it was just a 20 min delay. Lovely scopely servers hard at work

[balmy verge]

I’m not sure which drives me battier:

▪️ missions moved to Holodeck
▪️ events require ship type against ship type
🔴 the over load of useless red prompts that give me OCD overload & end up being related to things I don’t need action for

[sly mango]

I didn’t have any of the snw crew, but managed to win both missions in swarm n ship against ship events, just for those that don’t have the snw crew either, 👍🙏🏼

[abstract gate]

Is it a safe bet that there will be a spend event this weekend? Do we ever have weekends were there arent?

[safe flower]

@pseudo rune, the verbiage on these doesn't reflect that you can kill any hostile with any ship with SNW Uhura on the bridge for regular points. It does work that way and scores correctly, but the text on those buttons is not in alignment with the "OR" part of the event description.

[waxen galleon]

So, they are also looking into the meta not working for Uhura?

[urban spire]

With Ortega, it took me the same amount of level 50 swarm to complete normal swarm dailies (and Max cargo of frank a). Fortunately I am at a point where I can also use Kuron in a bridge slot for speed and finish. Not everyone is there and has a max Frank A or Research to do that. So This event really should have been one where a bridge slot is not wasted to allow players to hit higher level hostiles. Ortega is meant for killing Explorers from a Battleship. SNW Spock is actually quite good for Swarm as that is his ability, Attack Interceptors from an Explorer.

So that event was not terrible.

The Uhura event looks like will be 4-5 Hulls of Pilum vs Level 50-51 Battleships. Not super terrible but not great... That's a 28M ship for me.

[safe flower]

Sounds like its taking upwards of 20min to reflect. Give it time.

[waxen galleon]

Thank you.

[safe flower]

Ouch!

[rugged nacelle]

I've already burned 3 Kelvin hulls against 48-50 battleships... With SNW Uhura on the bridge, but on the right, not the left... And am only 1/3 of the way to my target. That's 100m trit per repair

[storm vault]

@pseudo rune Pike ortega snw Spock was better than using t’lan

[waxen galleon]

And you aren’t finding the fun in this?

[rugged nacelle]

Not especially, no

[safe flower]

Move SNW Uhura to the left, so you get your bonus.

Finish 2/3 with 3 hulls instead of 6.

[rugged nacelle]

Yeah but... Where's my double points so I can do it in even less?

[safe flower]

Hopefully, they'll credit everyone with points or lower the points.

[gilded patrol]

I have a lot of alliance-mates that just can't complete some of these, short of buying the new officers. They don't have the ships, or would need to pull old, way-too-small ships out for dozens of runs. So their options are don't finish and miss out on the Officer shards, or... Buy the shards so they can get the shards. 😣

[safe flower]

I'm not a fan of the officers tied to being on a specific ship to work against another specific ship.

They should make SNW Uhura work against battleship hostiles regardless of the ship she's on.

[rugged nacelle]

I was kinda hoping that we could do it all on a few Borg runs, but with 33s being the highest and only worth 80 points, I'd need to kill 5,949 Borg to complete it lol

[gilded patrol]

I'd favor allowing you to use any ship, with bonus points for using the right type and further bonus points for using Uhura on it

[safe flower]

As you level up, you don't get all G4 ships. You get one or two, depending on your faction levels. I only have the Valdore and plan to get the Pilum, which will take me several months at least. I don't have any plans on a G4 battleship, so I'm left with a T5 Augur that I guess I should tier up now. 🤷

Restricting these SNW officers to specific ships is a bit restrictive and is not how players planned to get ships, so it's hurting them a bit.

I'd love to get the Tribune...someday, but that's a long ways off for me.

[gilded patrol]

Yarp. We have a lot of players on our server that basically planned to ride a maxed Ent (with a Jelly for range) into the mid-40s until they can get a rare G4 ship.

[tawdry cape]

The effects of Tlaan and Chen don’t apply over L51 hostiles. These officers are partially intended to help with those hostiles.

[sour lotus]

@pseudo rune im ops 44 with a ktinga as main ship. Im mostly f2p and cant afford to have several main ships. For uhura event i need to kill 216 level 40 battleships with my sally - in 20 runs. Even with exo and cerritos support. Alone the travel time is around 100 mins.

So how does this reflect the quality of life improvements scopley promised??

[humble socket]

Wait this isn't a good plan!?

[gilded patrol]

It was until this arc 🤣

[edgy star]

Pain

[gilded patrol]

More commonly they grab one of the Uncommon G4 along the way, but that Valdore or Bort ain't helping them today

[desert laurel]

That's my level, haven't started here, but why are you avoiding DS hostiles? were they too hard?

[gilded patrol]

DS battleships with a Sally doesn't tend to go well

[sour lotus]

Hitting in singularity apex in ds, system with non veteran non faction bs. If i go more up i need a lot more hulls

[pseudo rune]

Happy to have that adjusted for the future. A bonus generally refers to in addition to the original requirement but I'll ask if we can make it more clear

[pale kestrel]

i'm 2.5 hours into the uhura event and only 1/4 through it.

[ornate geyser]

Dude…just…why? 😂

[plain flint]

These point totals unreal and a officer players actually have would been a nice help

[gilded patrol]

Until the ship type requirement is removed, it's a P2W event for a good chunk of players

[pale kestrel]

because i am mostly romulan faction and don't have a g4 interceptor yet. 96 shards from pilum.

and i didn't p2w on the slb for the officers

[ornate geyser]

I meant…why sink so much time into it? It’s ok to skip events…

[humble socket]

LIES 🤣

[desert laurel]

Spending 10h for one event is not reasonable, consider moving on

[gilded patrol]

Yarp. Skip it, hope Scopely notices the (relatively) low completion numbers and fixes it in the future

[sour lotus]

Setting up events that need several hours is not reasonable

[desert laurel]

These weren't set up to take several hours, it would only take that long if you were ill-positioned to do it, and if that's true, don't force it to make it happen.

[elder gyro]

I use my d3 m8

[mental tulip]

That is the argument isn’t it? That no one of reasonable power should ill positioned.

[safe flower]

But if you want the rare officers for free, you have to complete the events. Content Creators keep telling us that. 🙄

[desert laurel]

These were designed to be easier than equivalent generic HH events because of the specificity requirements.

[desert laurel]

A player's power isn't even, you can be strong in one area while weak in another. Along those lines, if you do not have the right ship here, then you are weak in that area, and are ill-positioned.

No one should consider doing an SMS that takes 10h, that's just not the way to approach video games.

[mental tulip]

How about don’t make an event that takes 10 hours in the first place?

[ornate geyser]

That works if the assumption is everyone should be pay to play. For f2p it’s not reasonable to expect all ship classes at higher levels to be built and tiered.

[mental tulip]

Look, the point of a game is that it should be fun. Clearly, if it’s this specific and this difficult then it’s not fun. That means they failed.

[gilded patrol]

Perhaps the number of people who are "ill-positioned" should be considered when designing events

[mental tulip]

You can try to blame the players all you want, but it’s not unreasonable to say “hey maybe this game I’m playing should continue to be playable by me. “

[ornate geyser]

Seriously. What a bizarre way of characterizing it.

Just mark it Heroic so we know only some are “meant” to complete it.

[desert laurel]

It doesn't take 10h unless you're ill-positioned, that's the point. It's not about blame here, it's about recognizing the requirements and your limits. If the event is not good, then don't force it. Come to discord and lay out the reasons.

[mental tulip]

And if they do that, then have a version of the event that isn’t heroic. That way more people can actually participate in the game.

[humble socket]

All this blaming...

[safe flower]

...meanwhile, everyone is busy grinding grinding grinding that my opc miner didn't get hit. Thanks Scopely! :)

[gilded patrol]

https://tenor.com/view/at-least-theres-a-silver-lining-far-cry4-far-cry-pagan-min-gif-23401363

[fierce cosmos]

Hey @pseudo rune not sure if anyone reported, but cipher event seemed to end a day early...

[limber tapir]

Is anyone else not getting points for the battleship event?

[pseudo rune]

Hey sorry for the confusion, event ended on time, that schedule was a day later than intended.

[sleek hornet]

This much hostile grinding is ridiculous, I need to shoot 800-900 hostiles ...

[fierce cosmos]

Was that announced? Cipher 1 ran 2 days (5th to 6th). Some folks saw the in game calendar and waited to do the second cipher today, which means they lose out because of incorrect info.

[abstract gate]

whine whine whine, i dont have or ever intend on getting a Franklin

[humble socket]

Why not!? How do you plan on doing swarmadas??

[abstract gate]

i dont

[wintry cypress]

Is there even any use for Franklin except this daily ressources?

[humble socket]

Umm... It's great... You can.... Umm... And don't forget when you need to... No.

[mental tulip]

The Franklin-A is nice at least.

[wintry cypress]

Ok, at some point its good enough to get 3 antiques out of a single ferengi in borg, but...

[abstract gate]

I choose what dailies i need, swarms not part of it, have better things to do with my time

[humble socket]

Who would that work?

[abstract gate]

You must be below ops 35

[wintry cypress]

Franklin, Jaylah Cap, max 5of11 on side. 3 Latinum Antiques

[wicked arrow]

You can use it to kill enemy Franklins

[humble socket]

Why would you get three?

[wintry cypress]

1 is the usual drop, + 100% drop from Jaylah on Franklin, + 100% drop from max 5of11

--> 3

[humble socket]

Huh... Now I gotta try that as soon as I get jaylah

[wintry cypress]

If you got a max 5of11, sure, go ahead 🙈

[abstract gate]

Nope, 49

Close to 50

Ah okay, us mortals do appreciate those daily rss 😉

[wintry cypress]

Not really 👀

[abstract gate]

You’re below ops 35 so you’re the other camp

[wintry cypress]

😅

[humble socket]

I'm exactly 35... Why are us 35s being excluded from the razzing!? We demand equal Razz!

[wintry cypress]

You're not excluded

You are not below 35

[sturdy hinge]

came here to check on complaining about using Ortegas on the bridge to kill swarm, where the juice at?

[wintry cypress]

https://tenor.com/view/one-two-gif-22749561

[winged tulip]

It's not ill positioned to not have one of each class ship at good strength for your ops level. In every single previous arc you only need one strong ship.

[desert laurel]

There's an earlier comment that addresses that regarding the "evenness" of development. But when we're talking about a specific event, then it matters what resources you have at hand to do it.

[sour lotus]

I have no idea what your talking about. Sorry dont mean to be rude, serious question

[young pike]

@pseudo rune these events need some serious reduction for ops 49

By 3/4 the amount

[abstract gate]

I finished the battleship event in 15 mins

[desert laurel]

It's a statement about your preparedness for a specific event. If you cannot do it as intended, ie. easily in a short amount of time, then you are ill-positioned.

[young pike]

@abstract gate what’s your ops

[abstract gate]

49

[sour lotus]

That i understand. What do you mean by eveness? @desert laurel

[desert laurel]

Most players are not evenly developed. They do not have a ship of each type of the right power, they only develop one.

[young pike]

Well I’m not the only 49 in my alliance saying they are too high

[abstract gate]

What Interceptor do you have

[young pike]

I have Pilum and it still took multiple ships to complete. And the swarm event has taken 9 trips so far

[desert laurel]

If you lack the right pieces to do the event the right way, and instead try to force completion at the cost of your health over 10h, then you're going about it the wrong way.

[abstract gate]

i have a 18m Pilum, took 2 hulls

[bronze bloom]

When should the new building be available?

[young pike]

14 mil

[desert laurel]

There's a mission to introduce the relay building, wait for that. There's no set date I've seen.

[bronze bloom]

That’s the only good thing this arc😭

[desert laurel]

It's actually insane how good it is.

Was looking at the numbers earlier.

[sour lotus]

Balancing research, ops and ships is a must in the game. Spending mats and faction credits on all three ship types at each big step is a very bad strategy imo. You end up with mediocre to bad ships and you wont be able to finish normal events probably. Not even talking about pvp.

[desert laurel]

There are reasons to develop unevenly, I agree. And there are now reasons to develop evenly (for ships, anyway). I still wouldn't do it though, and that's a choice with consequences that I accept.

[plucky wind]

Anyone not getting the swarm completion scoring in the master metas?

[desert laurel]

It's been lagged all day. I'd wait half an hour, and if it still persists, contact CS.

I've never stated that, you can however make 3 epics.

[plucky wind]

Been an hour

[abstract gate]

You don’t - used augur and pilum so far

Augur took a bit longer but saved me 200M trit 😂

[potent tartan]

which is of limited use if you're in G5 land

[abstract gate]

I'm not getting points but hey ho its because i don't have a Franklin, and don't whine about it either

[plucky wind]

That doesn’t help me lol

[desert laurel]

If you're there then you'll have to find ways to get around this issue. Only up to a certain point is it viable to make use of G3 epics.

[abstract gate]

Also have a jelly :p

[potent tartan]

I'm lucky at 47 I had a big enough Augur, Pilum and Val to do these events... but not everyone in the 40 - (early)46 range is going to have an easy time with these events

[abstract gate]

Point is however a half decent 3* epic does just fine at ops 46 even as candle is saying

[desert laurel]

Almost everyone mid 40s will have all 3 epics available to them. Early 40 is iffy.

[tribal elbow]

PMC made the first one easy, g4 interceptor or SNW Uhura is pretty much required for todays one if you're ops44+

[abstract gate]

D4 will do just fine

[hexed gorge]

Glad I'm just ops 43, with kelvin, jelly and augar

[desert laurel]

Okay, but I'd prepare for it to run again.

[sour lotus]

I dont see why we should accept that. We surely are allowed to share our opinions how events are set here and tag eco to let him know what players are thinking about bad designed events.

Same as surprise cloak event. They gave us a feature which you cant use bc scopely sets up surprise events, where you need a full stack of that.

[modern estuary]

im early 46 had no issue doing the event, used t5 auger yesterday, today t6 kelvin tomorrow t7 jelly will do

[potent tartan]

Read my comment carefully.... then read it a second time

[desert laurel]

Absolutely, I'm not talking about stopping the conversation. Let it be known that the event is bad.

[winged tulip]

Ops48 alliance mate just did it in 10 d4 hulls. He's not happy.

[modern estuary]

i quote you "but not everyone in the 40 - (early)46 range is going to have an easy time with these events" its easy to do this even without g4 faction

[desert laurel]

I won't be developing a ship for these kinds of events though, and that is what I accept.

[jolly perch]

I’m level 44, I did yesterdays event in a Bortas with the use of an exocomp and Cerritos assistance. Nice to have a challenging event for a change which you can complete if you’re smart and use all the buffs available.

[tribal elbow]

No PMC available against battleships

[potent tartan]

the important part is ... NOT everyone... you did as did I so well done, but last night I had plenty of people saying they had a tough time getting it done and a good few who couldn't because the only Battleship they had was a Legionary at ops 44

[sour lotus]

The event yesterday was easier in general as explorers dont hit as hard as battleships.

[abstract gate]

More importantly how long did it take?

[abstract gate]

Max 4h09 😂

Ah nvm 4 hours that's nothing 😉

[abstract gate]

Effect is the same yeah, but mostly it’s due to that battleships have both kinetic and energy weapons, making standard pmc not as effective

[modern estuary]

if you are ops 40+ and the best battleship you have is a legionary you playing the game wrong at the very least you should have enough bp for a bortas

[abstract gate]

I disagree, that's a plenty viable strategy and likely much more efficient

Undoubtedly they have the BP it's about not spending the uncs

[modern estuary]

ive built and maxed many lvl 28 g3 faction ships and scrapped them now but i still keep one of each

[sour lotus]

Leveling up a specific ship (incl. mats and tritts) to complete one event. Thats playing the game wrong imo

[modern estuary]

why? when its done scrap it for g4 mats

[abstract gate]

Well 26s are more efficient

[sour lotus]

Thats why @modern estuary

[sleek hornet]

Depends on your level

[modern estuary]

i prefer keep my creds for officer upgrades or nwer g4 faction ships

[abstract gate]

It depends on what you’re after

[modern estuary]

buying lvl 26 bps with creds is a waste imo

[abstract gate]

Up to ops 45 focus is likely uncommon and common, 26s have best mat for mat ROI

[sour lotus]

So how do you get 28 bps?

[modern estuary]

farming hostiles

[sleek hornet]

Common can be compensated with lat, unc & rare can't

[abstract gate]

Okay… there’s a followup sentence 😅

[sour lotus]

Thats too slow for me keeping up with scrapping needs.

[modern estuary]

you get 10-15 a day farming lvl 48-50s

[sour lotus]

From the faction your hitting. So i can build three sallies now but would need to kill kling for bortas for ktinga. And thats messing with my rep

[modern estuary]

im even on track to being able to build a valdore soon despit having reps at 10mil for roms

also ktinga is not far off either

[real tusk]

You can farm g3 epic blueprints?

[abstract gate]

Not at a point where you will realistically want to use them

[modern estuary]

they do occasionally drop but would take a while before you could build one totally free. most of the g3 bp drops are uncommon / rare

[winged tulip]

They drop from 50+ hostiles, by which point you'll have multiple from armada chests anyway

[sleek hornet]

Easy enough to get them

[real tusk]

I just didnt know they could 😅

[lunar coral]

@pseudo rune this event is a bit much, unless you happened to have all G3 epics at a good tier it's quite an effort to score

Or G4

[modern estuary]

for those with g4s though the points are even higher

[celest cloud]

Yesterday's event was helped by the fact you are hitting explorers (and can benefit fully from Chen) so I could complete it sensibly with a T4 Augur and some Disco juice.

Today it is battleships with mixed weaponry, can't do the same with a T4 D4, and have to hit Gya'han instead for 340-430 a pop. Not fun when you need 136k points... 400x L38-39 kills needed in a 24h event.

I tried to hit an L42 in Dark Space... one per hull booom

[modern estuary]

have you a cerritos?

[latent ridge]

49 with a tier 5 D4. It took a while and a lot of Cerritos juice

[sonic gazelle]

@pseudo rune @fresh peak are we ever going to get the promised info on the Incursion events and schedule? It was stated that we would receive more info early this week about how the events would be structured, how scoring would work etc etc, well its Thursday and still nothing. The Calendar graphic showed 3 days of events Friday, Saturday and Sunday and then a 2 day Incursion event Monday and Tuesday but that's not what was talked about on discord or by the content creators so looking for some clarification and maybe some run down of what to expect, or will this be a Saturday drop and hope for the best?

[sonic gazelle]

Yikes thats nuts, I did mine with a T9 Sally and a T4 D4, took me maybe 30 minutes and that was just kinda taking my time but at ops 36 my total is only 18k

[lunar coral]

Essentially if you didn't invest in a G3 epic or G4 uncommon then that event (for the ship type you didn't get) is rough

[halcyon loom]

Is the uhura event level restricted? I cannot find it anywhere?

[pseudo rune]

More information is coming tomorrow!

[modest oyster]

The plan is, there is no plan!

Abandon ship!!!

[young pike]

Any chance they are looking at the milestones for todays events cause they are way too high @pseudo rune

Yesterday too even with the reduction. Or is this just another you get punished for going up in ops situation since it always feels that way.

[sonic gazelle]

Yeah I can see that now looking at some of the breakdowns, shoulda run all 3 at once and let us opt in instead, but that would require fore thought and common sense.

[abstract gate]

Took 15 mins

[young pike]

Well you are minority cause not everyone is in your situation

[abstract gate]

What situation is that

[plain flint]

Well you must have double points because i certainly didnt

[young pike]

Your ship type and level, your ops, your faction, to name a few

[abstract gate]

Points required are relative to Ops

[inland narwhal]

I assume you used an interceptor that is good for your ops level

[abstract gate]

You said you completed it, not sure what your issue is

[inland narwhal]

The best interceptor I have is buildable 11 ops levels below me now so this will be fun

[young pike]

Shouldn’t take 3 hours to do 1 event

[abstract gate]

If it took you 3 hours to complete with a 14m Pilum you have more of an issue than this event

[young pike]

And I have a Pilum it’s not just about me. And it’s not just about you. There are other people that don’t have ships that can complete this event

[abstract gate]

I dont have a ship for the swarm event, get over it

[inland narwhal]

Lol, you obviously haven't come across the 52+ hostiles yet

[abstract gate]

Indeed i have

[young pike]

I have more of an issue with the swarm event then I did the battleship killing one

[civic vault]

Tonto, congrats.
Can you accept that not everyone's in your situation? Both events were awful. Ops 49, haven't done first milestone.

[abstract gate]

I'm in a situation where i can't compete in the swarm event because i choose not to build a Franklin, its not life changing, move on

[tawny elk]

Same situation, I'm skipping unc 4*... crap events regardless - I'm only half way through the swarm after 3 hours 😕

[abstract gate]

What ops are you?

49

[civic vault]

And we layout the reasons every arc. We lose time, officers, etc. If we're on test servers, great: just let us know.

[young pike]

So by TonTo logic Scopely should just put out events no can complete and we should just keep our mouths shut and move?

Cause he can do it

[abstract gate]

My the river is crying tonight

[civic vault]

I moved on, man. That doesn't mean is a good event.
Building a Franklin is not the same as building any type of 4* or 5* ship.
I hope you understand the difference

[abstract gate]

I never said it was a good event, just that if its not possible to complete, dont let it eat you up

[humble socket]

🍿🍿🍿

[civic vault]

Also, I can move on, that doesn't mean are good events. Because I do spend a looot of time in the game. And also spend. And also take care of rss. If nobody gives feedback, nothing changes. We would still wait 30 minutes until warp enda🤣🤣

[young pike]

Thought this discord was about giving feedback of why people aren’t happy so we can get a better game. Or should all just throw in the towel and delete it

[humble socket]

I thought this was the bathroom... Sorry 😐😔

[civic vault]

It doesn't. I say so they make it better in the future. I don't expect this arc will change, but if continue like that, wilm be more and more difficult.
They had no idea how crappy 4* or 5* economy was...
If I see bad design, I say.

[abstract gate]

And the event will run again

Anyways, have a good night gents

[pseudo rune]

The milestones for todays event were lowered before the event went live in the same way they were lowered yesterday

We're going to be looking at this event for future iterations to see if it needs to be adjusted.

I hope so cause at higher ops it’s not possible for everyone to do. Or if you can it’s an extremely time consuming adventure. And thank you for responding

We should be patient with Scopely. This is their first time creating a hostile kill event! They need to learn and adapt milestones since this is something brand new to the game.

[rough dust]

@pseudo rune .. this doesn't say anything about Territory Space. How will the shields work there?

[plain flint]

They dont tc systems

20

[rough dust]

Doesn't say it. And TC systems have no levels. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[plain flint]

Tc considered 20 system

[rough dust]

Based on?

[halcyon cloak]

1* Tc System = lvl20 / 2* TC Systems = lvl30 / 3* TC System = lvl40

[plain flint]

Stfc.space ...check

[rough dust]

I love Ripper, but Scopely should be clear about things.

[civic vault]

Thanks for your support. Is really a breathe of fresh air.
The milestones were lowered, but still too tough unless you had a ship of that class.
And we can't build all classes of ships for 4*,5*. We would, byt we can't.
Especially since we can't use them afterwards, in higher levels.

[modest oyster]

Commander you are not ready for the challenges of strange new worlds. Please insert your credit card to power up and prepare to fight invading enemies and recruit Ortega and Uhura!!!

[quaint goblet]

is the Uhura Meta event broken? just finished the last milestone of Battleship HH, but when I went to check on what actually counts for the meta, it mentions Mining Mastery, Swarm Battle, and Hostile Hunt, which don't really make sense

[civic vault]

🤣🤣I will unlock them, but not thanks to events.
Also, for context, I have over 450k hostiles destroyed, so not afraid of grind

[modest oyster]

Commander, looks like you don’t want to recruit Uhura bad enough! You must push through and slay the enemies of the Federation to obtain and unlock her!

[quaint goblet]

and naturally the server was just being slow. it just counted the HH

[civic vault]

@modest oyster I might have done the grind for Una's avatar, though 😍🤣

[modest oyster]

I heard a rumor that Pan impregnated Una hence the change in her ability.

But it’s just ya know, rumor…

He’s trying to spread that impulse speed seed everywhere

That Pan guy, yuck… creepy.

[cosmic warren]

Not getting points for events atm. Anyone else?

[karmic vault]

I'm getting points, maybe lag?

[lunar coral]

Is Pan a they?

[cyan cape]

So what I really want to know is the weekend events leading up to the incursions, @pseudo rune . I want to get info out to my alliance ahead of time. As fleet commander, it is tough to plan with everyone in the dark.

[modest oyster]

How can Scopely notify us of whats going to happen, when they don't even know what's going to happen!?!?!

[pale kestrel]

red indicators

[oblique coral]

Temporally non local causality would be an option there.

[neat plover]

How do I get strange tokens to use in the event store I have 200 but no idea how it got them

[vivid gyro]

They seem to be coming from events

[blissful parrot]

when are we going to get the "SubSpace Relay Keys" needed to build the SuSpace Relay ..whic i take it is part of the servers wars events.. says they will be in the store but they are not there

[hearty dust]

Yeah you need to start actually looking at what rewards you get from events lol.

[trail anvil]

I’m totally lost

[plain flint]

Side missions are about subspace relay

[blissful parrot]

@plain flintok i take it that is how we get the keys then

[plain flint]

I think so information was in patch notes re subspace relay

[blissful parrot]

ok thxs

[plain flint]

Update 44 says about subspace relay

[nova atlas]

how do you score during the incursion event? I'm assuming its damage done, or loot stolen?

[tight otter]

@pseudo rune why do you keep calling her ohura?

[quartz wren]

Feedback- this month's SNW Fear Itself Missions appear to be level locked higher than they need to be. With the mission bosses only being about 675k, these events should be available to more players. On my Ops 28, I do not have access to the missions or the event to complete the missions, which is disappointing given how easy they would be for me to complete.

[modern estuary]

why cant you do them? warp locked?

[quartz wren]

they aren't available in the holodeck, and I also dont have the Complete New Missions event on that account either

[modern estuary]

fear itself needs ops 34

so if you are lower its probable you do not have the ship required to reach the systems the missions are based in

it even says recommended ops level is 34 or higher

ultimately its you that decides your progress speed, if you play 1 hour a day well you will struggle if you play 8 hours a day you will do far better and if you spend money well that makes it so much easier

that is your choice

if you have a job, do you expect to earn as much as your workplace owner does? did you put in the same level of investment and risk as your CEO did or are you an employee lower down the ranks, if you are lower down you get what you put in

[humble socket]

Tldr... How about a 🍪😊

[quartz wren]

What I said was, the mission shouldnt be locked at Ops 34 because the requirements to complete it are a lot easier and players lower than 34 would have no trouble completing it. So if they want feedback, they should lower the event restriction while there is still time for other players to complete it.

[modern estuary]

its not a restriction its a recommended level

i do missions rated ops 49 and 50 yet im ops 46 just barely and i can do them it just takes longer

i do have a few missions where i am ops locked as you call it but in reality im not ops locked im warp range locked and once i can warp there the mission itself is easy

you will find this more n more once you progress, if you cannot warp there archive it until you can warp there

personally i hate warp locks, all ships should be able to warp anywhere but if you are under warp range just make it take like an hour to get there

or add an exocom that gives you an hour of warp range boost for g3 exocomes make it 1 hour of +5 warp range for g4 +10 - warp range boost for g5+ 20 warp range boost

but apply it to combat faction warships only

[upper wren]

Any one know when the infante incursions will start

[modern estuary]

so 9th it starts

[plain flint]

Apac eu or usa servers

[cunning radish]

10th for us wally

[plain flint]

Ar tanks simpy

[cunning radish]

😘

[modern estuary]

two amalgams ready for incursions lol

[dull pagoda]

These officers are horrible and no one even knows if they work. Your player base has no trust that you can do anything inter server. All the names in xlb’s were “retrieving”. You will lose this game this month if you don’t fix the fundamental problems of territory ended the game, there is no sourcing for all the arm events, and no sourcing for upgrading the ships and ops that sftc is actually pushing for

[cunning radish]

https://tenor.com/view/okay-and-gif-20790957

[modern estuary]

rant but where is proof?

[cunning radish]

He rants every week

🤣

YOu wiLl LoSe ThIS gAmE tHiS mOntH

[dull pagoda]

What proof do you want, if you don’t have a g5 ship these officers will not benefit you

[cunning radish]

https://tenor.com/view/dana-change-lol-miinions-laughing-gif-17467543

[modern estuary]

not true they work well on g4 also

[plain flint]

Lol i got ortega from mission but using i didnt get the double points very boring grind

[dull pagoda]

I’ve got 2 G4’s, they are worthless

[modern estuary]

yes the bigger the ship the bigger the bonus but thats the same with all officers

[cunning radish]

https://tenor.com/view/okay-and-gif-20790957

[modern estuary]

why do you think they are worthless? you got at best t1 officers

tier them up a bit then they will shine

t1 epic kirk sucks but maxed epic kirk is good

[dull pagoda]

Expect better or no one will give you better guys. 500% off officer health doesn’t actually give you anything. And the more you say lol and ok, the more you’ll get “when you have a g5 explorer vs an interceptor over 56 you’ll get a boost off your officers caffeine percentage”

[modern estuary]

why would you think its not the same for any other officer

[cunning radish]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[cunning radish]

https://tenor.com/view/cool-im-so-tom-cruise-gif-13209253

[dull pagoda]

Epic Kirk has an actual effective ability

[cunning radish]

https://tenor.com/view/cool-gif-9471604

[modern estuary]

so do these new officers you just havent figured it out yet cos you havent maxed them yet

[dull pagoda]

Have you maxed.. Riker Bev tos Kirk worf Lorca?

There is no maxing them

[velvet acorn]

https://tenor.com/view/cry-sad-dr-evil-need-a-hug-hug-me-gif-13657722

[dull pagoda]

Tos uhuru, is she maxed?

Rom is great, have you gotten tied 2? Will you ever?

[modern estuary]

no cos scrotley were so slow at issuing tos officer shards

[dull pagoda]

So don’t say you haven’t maxed them yet, because they can’t be maxed

[cunning radish]

WiLl YoU eVeR

Imagine being that guy

https://tenor.com/view/aiich-aich-the-good-place-eleonor-weird-smile-gif-15001388

[modern estuary]

my point is you have not maxed the new officers yet and you are moaning

[dull pagoda]

And you haven’t and will never max officers from 8 months ago, because they can’t be maxed

Your argument is null and void

[modern estuary]

why cannot they be maxed?

[cunning radish]

Your argument is NULL AND VOID NOTHIBG

[dull pagoda]

Why haven’t you maxed tos uhuru or Lorca

[modern estuary]

cos i didnt spend on them

[dull pagoda]

What’s your problem why haven’t you maxed them

[modern estuary]

but my lorca is at t3 now

[dull pagoda]

Even if you spent you couldn’t

[cunning radish]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[dull pagoda]

They can’t be maxed

[modern estuary]

yes i bought the skin it actually does help lol

[dull pagoda]

Sure, 1 shard a pull. Max in… 3 years or what

[modern estuary]

no not true ive gotten 5 shards in a disco refine pull

[velvet acorn]

At tier 1 SNW pike SNW Spock and Jaylah make a very good alternative swarm killing crew....at tier 1 (killing swarm 43)

[modern estuary]

its chance based but it is what it is
