Meta not scoring?
Let me reboot
no second cipher?
Not yet it seems
i had something in past to do with those geometric symbols, so i figured in 2 sec to be exact
scopelayed again
Might be diff for us servers? I know they rescheduled it. Mabe they cancelled the schueduled one
@pseudo rune and know? 😭
Already being looked into =]
Something went wrong lol
ok
A Strange New Cipher 7/18/2022
||1. Donfo
2. Boniv
3. Mesadin
4. Volta||
I want my jelly brawl🤣
I dont even have a 2nd, 3rd and 4th event and you got the answers to all of em 👀
thanks happy
How the f is this decodable after a single data point?
So how's APAC ?
because they are in fact strange "known" ciphers 😉
@pseudo rune why is it not possible you run the game properly? Lag everywhere… every day… all you guys can do is take our Money! 😡😡😡
Working for some people it seems…
mondays in US are the worst for the lag on events
Oh interesting. When were they known?
it's the pigpen cipher, also known as freemasons cipher or napoleon cipher - so... 18th century?
give or take...
How long do we have to wait for the next cipher clue? Or are you too busy with APAC servers right now?
Well TIL 🤣
More like 16th century
Check out the wikipedia page; this one is reputed to be ancient, as in well known by the 16th century.
not planned for today, today and tomorrow is persuit after that brawl
Found it. Very not googleable unless you have the name 🤣
Got the second clue and it's exactly the same as first one 🤣
You give them money??
Probably a sticky image, I'd clear localization
Sorry if it’s been asked before, but will shields work normally in territories during Incursion?
no
No
Territory is lvl 20
It was the first result when I googled 'pictographic cipher', so....
Thanks
I have alliance mates that have gotten the later ciphers, but I'm still stuck with no meta point and no 3.2
clear localisation isn’t working. still stuck on #1
What I mean is that I need to stop assuming scopely is literally creating ciphers 🤦♂️
Same here
Yep, lots of people stuck with no meta point after the first cipher event, and no sign of event 2. Seems to be a regular thing.
Not for everyone though
If they are iin systems 20+ then they will be suppressed (which I believe covers all TC).
Anyone know if incursion started for apac ?
Yeah it did
I believe it did and did not go well
they are LIVE
It does. They are technically over 20
For now 😏
Oh no. Odds it get cancelled again?
No idea
Katzu it's the same for mart yand me...
Anything to substantiate this?
Anyone having issues with Strange New Cipher scoring correctly? Says I've completed 3.1 but the meta hasn't scored. I also don't have access to 3.2.
Probably lag again from Incursions starting on APAC like last time... but who knows
I thought I read it in this discord.
Hey @fresh peak any fox coming for the ciphers??
Just another day in Scopely world. About ready to wash my hands of this game since they can't go more than a day without something breaking.
Or the weekend issues with the XSLB? Both those who qualified not getting it, and those who didn't qualify getting it?
Care to be more specific?
byeeeee
I didn’t qualify and I got in and placed 4th
So players who did part 1 in the first 12m wont currently get part 2 (there was an issue there that we fixed 12m in). We are working on a solution for those players who are affected.
There is now a #⚡-mod-announcements updating about this
Well at least it's fixed pretty quickly
Is that the bar?
Anyone got the cypher?
Scroll way up
They just announced a fix is on its way if you already did pt1
We don’t need announcements… we want a good running game!!!!!
Dang....I knew my previous job as a code breaker for the CIA would come back to haunt me one day....but I didn't think it would be with Scopely!
Or if you are feeling lazy!!!!
- Donfo
- Boniv
- Mesadin
- Volta
Thats my reward for being quick on the cipher 😢
Why is using snw officer in eclipse sms not scoring???
They are placed as captain?
Because you expect an event to work when it starts.
Cypher doesn't work right... Come on scopley.
@pseudo rune do we get a compensation for not being able to participate in the xslb or is: oops sry, should work now" and it just didnt, all we get ?
I love this game
guess the carebear got taken care of. All events including the XSLB worked fine on our server. Little lag yesterday on the XSLB scoring, but by the time you type a complaint... done.
From responses I saw it sounded like they "fixed it" but only the ops 25+ one. The 10-24 hostile hunt xslb never got fixed and they don't seem to care.
m8 im ops 33 and placed 5th without even trying in the ff event
👀
they fixed 💩
They didn't fix all 25+, since some who should have xslb didn't have it
didnt even get a 2nd response since it was supposedly fixed
This is quite frankly a glaring problem. If the base events on servers aren't working to begin with, maybe yall should stop trying to jam new stuff in while the base stuff is broken? You know... common sense stuff.
Pull incursions, and dont try it ever again until the game runs.
You've tried. Time to stop and fix the problems
Nothing to do with not working
Probably they use some hidden event reward as qualifier for the next one and forgot to add it in the beginning
Just being sloppy
Any word on incursion in APAC?
Seemingly running a lot better than last time. So far
So far so good
So hopefully it means it will at least work a little bit for the US servers
How about someone from APAC not someone from a different server
That dosnt undercut my point and you know it.
Fixing problems isn't lucrative.
How about you let em play the game and only report if there’s issues?
Like I don’t know always?
You guys act like this is the first game to glitch
I guess neither is retaining a playerbase 🤷
what it isnt?
if it wasnt all the time noone would complain
Ehm yeah it really does. Someone being sloppy for some minor event is no reason at all to pull a completely new mechanic which fyi seems to largely be running fine this run
or not as many at least^^
they probably program glitches into the game to watch the poo-poo-ers light up chat!!!!!!!!
haha there might be some truth behind it
If this weren't an issue for the last few months, where events weren't running properly, or event scoring.. etc... I'd concede.
But I won't, this is a base issue that should not even be seen by the playerbase. The "minor" things have piled up.
People coding features like incursions aren’t the ones putting in some events 🤷♂️ quality control of the latter notwithstanding it’s completely unrelated
It's a breakdown of overall development discipline. Full stop. Fix the core issues, then move forward with feature addition. This isn't rocket science here.
I get the apprehension US players may have, when its many more servers doing incursions all at once tomorrow event re set. The track record does not encourage confidence.
That last part... say it a bit louder for the folks in the back...
Scores not showing up and griefers still a thing
@dim widget Are you attacking or defending?
@pseudo rune is there going to be anything done about the ppl that did not get the XSLB event like they were supposed too. I put a ticket in but CS still has not responded and the event is over now
Hello @pseudo rune , the second cypher isn't loading for a lot of my server. I read the update, but when can we expect a fix?
Going to be speaking with the team about this today
How do we know whether we're attacking or defending?
As soon as I know when this is going to be addressed I'll be sure to let everyone know
Thanks!
Your events
For the duration of the incursion, it would be best to assume you are effectively at war. None of your ships are likely to be safe in any activity.
If it says defend in the events, you are defending iirc
@pseudo rune ETA on this fix, or should I just expect a comp chest at this point?
As soon as I know when this is going to be addressed I'll be sure to let everyone know
Defending but invading 193
LOL you're invading while defending
extra parabellum and jellyfish brawl was nice. cosmic cleanup is meh
Had people who found themselves on the other server and don't know how they got there. 🤷♀️
so what is it this time
Gotta get 💩 Eco 😂 Can't be sitting around like a venus fly trap while waiting for 193 to fly past 😂
Impossible
That's what they say 🤦🏼♀️
I said pigs fly too
Lol
Or load them onto a plane. 🤣🤣🤣
Pretty sure with fuel prices... the trebuchet is cheaper 😆
Pvp in designated systems not scoring whether win or lose, with right ships
What ops level are you?
39
Did you win or lose the fight?
I won when cloaked. No score. Got hit, also nothing
I have reports of wins working as intended
Could you DM me your ID Starz?
I'm having this checked into
how much time is “in a bit”? still unable to do event
@wet dewA week or two, maybe in two or three Arcs at the latest?
probably 🤣
You forgot the comp chest with 3 Picard shards and a few K in RSS...
same for 45-49 @pseudo rune
that was a picard day gift not necessarily a comp chest
We are working on getting the list of affected players so we can send them part 2 of the event. Will take a couple of hours.
thanks for the reply
Anything we can do as an affected player to help with that process?
@pseudo rune / @fresh peak
Got a few DMs about this and already looking into it. If you want to DM me player IDs that would be helpful =]
We're looking into each id to see what's going on
Nope - thats all on us
Cypher 3.1
1 Donfo
2 Boniv
3 Mesadin
4 Volta
Thank you for that
You’re tagging folks with answers to a puzzle event?!
So much for spoiler tags
The problems I've seen discussed here today are significantly less than what they had last time so far. They aren't going to shut it down until or unless it reaches about that same level of issues. I think that was no scoring, infinite resources for some raids, infinite defending ships for others, and lots of lag.
I too spend hours of my day calling customers back with their cars when I don't install their breaks properly the first time.... after theyve left my shop with said car.....
... oh wait... no I dont.
A little discipline goes a loooooooong way....
Just saying.
How is incursion doing on APAC severs is it going smooth?
Anyone from server 28 on here? Pm me
Probably should also expand to the second issue... Those that worked/spent to qualify top 50, only to have to compete against others who did not qualify.
My recommendation for this part (no idea how to fix those who didn't get event at all or late)... Filter out the XSLB to those who qualify and reward the payouts based on where they fall.
We have a channel for server discords. #🕵-server-discord-links2 I'd try the link in there for s28
Congratulations the pvp defense doesn’t work - no points
Incursions is another failure
Or just give everyone 4 shards who got below 100, either way
Well, my thoughts are that if they weren't competing against others who did not qualify, they could have ranked higher and gotten more shards.
We all live in a "Yellow Submarine" & the "Wheels on the Bus, go round & round all the live long day"....Oooops that's Romper Room, nope Scopely!
wonder if they are still proud of incursions?
So you are saying that the APAC Incursions are still running - not yet canceled? Wow, didnt expect that
Take it it’s not going well on the APAC servers….again!
It's not, but people are in denial because it's slightly better than last time 😆
slightly better is not near the 100% as it should be expected in the game
If this game was honest, the "downloading game state" on the loading screen would never finish
The mess up on final part of Final Frontier needs compensation for everyone. Maybe … SNW shards? Be nice … in keeping with the arc. Go on scopes!
Can’t wait for it to move to actual volume tomorrow with US servers
For once i don’t mind US getting an earlier release than us.
Same
Quite possible that we enter Beta phase tomorrow
Thx for „fixing“ cipher event @fresh peak 👍🏻
how about jaylah shards we didnt have a chance to get instead of snw?
No cipher fix chest on my game.
restart and clear localization
@pseudo rune pinging you about this, currently stuck with no assistance from support yet
Going to be getting more info on this in the near future!
@wispy pikeyou didnt think that announcement was actually the truth did you?
It is. I got my chest
Ok, thanks. I feel like I wasted lots of good directives this weekend on zero rewards 😦
Will keep my eyes open
Cleared, restarted, nothing
Totally understand, if I get into I'll let everyone know
That is weird 🤔
Got a screenshot of your gift inventory?
This was only sent out if you were stuck on "Strange New Cipher" pt.1 and couldn't progress the event
The chest was to send people to the next part
They’re running but not working - points not counting properly again
Ah. A known evil. Well, they know how to gift chest that. I mean fix that.
Apparently not.
@pseudo rune I am still stuck on the meta and have not gotten the gift chest.
Could you reach out to support and DM me the ticket number so I can have it looked at
Eco question is there going to be some sort of compensation for players effected from not being in the XSLB Fatal Frontier
My Cipher is still stuck with Part 2 completed but the SMS did not advance and I don't have part 3.
@pseudo rune
What are you guys doing there???? Are you for real?
Can't you launch an event without a single glitch/ bug/ mistake?
Who is running the show?
This is called fixing the event?
I'm still stuck on part 1 as well, as are some others in my alliance, no gift. Tried the clear local. and restart as well.
Yup. The meta score is now corrected and you can continue the event
Amazing 🤣
Still being investigated and if I get more news I'll let you know!
Thank you Eco
No gift and no part 2 for cypher event for me either. 🤔
Don’t spend those all in one place😂😂😂
@winter quarry I'll try my best, bro, but they gave so many that my head is about to explode thinking of where to use them! 🤣
Btw, @pseudo rune, I got the 5 ultra Tokens, but my event is still broken. No meta fix on EU157.
no chest or progression as well in server EU153
good evening everyone, can someone help me with the event "a new strange enigma"? Please
Did you try restarting the app, fully closing, and seeing if you're still stuck?
we could help you but Scopely broke it
Tried to restart and no effect, but team mate said to clear cache, and I got the rewards after the second restart. Thanks 🙏🏼
lol why is restarting always scopely's answer to them screwing up the game
if my peopek did their jobs like you all at Scapply i would let them go
Great to hear!
Assuming you need help figuring out the cipher, go to #993889300989100062 and look at the pinned message
Do you still need use cases for investigation? I can DM. I’ve restarted the app and cleared localization - still no chest to advance past 3.1 in Meta
Same! 🫠
For once, i had no prpblem with the Cipher event
If it's specifically for the Strange New Ciper event please DM me the ticket number =]
Idk if I can believe that or not UssSarcasm
I'll send you a screenshot
Thanks =]
I also had no problem with the Cipher Event. I know that's not typical, but at least a few of us completed it with no issues,
@apac server, are the incursions working? Cipher is getting all the attention, i did notice someone mention scoring was not working on incursions...is that still the case?
The defence point scoring is getting a fix but generally it’s run smoothly
Smoothish event, getting bad lag though
Don't worry, Scopely will 🍆 us in a different way
ranked 2nd btw in said xlb, idunno who pattyofurniture is, bot it or they gave me a good run for a f2p portion on my end, duno who 1st was, name never showed...good job patty
Server 146.
Nothing in the gifts.
Still stuck in the event. 🙂
Incursion crash and burn yet?
Server 132
Far from.
I am on an APAC server and we don’t have the xserver event
Then I guess you’re not on an APAC server.
That's the one that got paired with us. [192] is on tomorrow. Nice to meet you, prepare to die.
192 launches tomorrow with US
There you go, mystery solved.
You need to read the IGN more 😬😬
Reading it at all is a courtesy I rarely extend.
Zinga
Could you send a ticket to customer support and DM me the ticket number>?
@pseudo rune done in pm
I’m having same problem
Almost 90 minutes later. Server 26. I cleared localization, closed and relaunched app (both multiple times), and restarted my device. No luck.
Same thing. I’m on server 40 but exact same issue.
Others on server/alliance seem fine
If you're having issues still, please contact customer support and send me the ticket number via dm
@pseudo rune yall got any more of them partial triumph tokens as event rewards?
I can ask if more are coming soon Dax
Pm sent
incursion offense
It would be funny if they didn't give anymore partial rewards and the triumphs from the xlsb were totally useless😂
Makes me think maybe they will carry over to next month but that feels weird too
the incursion offence didnt score even i use the right ships
Can’t scroll through my events or in the Incursions event tab. Keeps flashing like it’s constantly updating
Can’t even scroll to join my dailies
Your station is probably being battered 😆
@pseudo rune sorry to bug you, but have you heard any update about the final frontier event missing / compensation for those who qualified but couldn't access the xlsb ?
Just checking in on this
Nothing at this time but we're still actively talking about it
Okay thank you 😊
was there any changes to the incursion event mechanics? or just bug fixes?
Nope. Fully shielded
@pseudo rune Any update on who EU126 will be facing for Incursions?
Are they changing pairings?
We were paired with 127 who we merged with a couple of months ago. for the xslb we were paired with 125 & 124 (Three server xslb).
Gotcha, will ask in another channel too
Anyone know the system in the sipper event
Will have a message about this a little later today!
@pseudo rune cipher still not fixed. Lol my confidence is lowering
If you didn't get a chest in your gifts tab, please reach out to customer support and send me the ticket number via DM!
Server 27. Many still reporting it hasn’t been fixed fyi
I would ask that they please reach out to Customer Support. They are aware of this issue and are going to prioritize getting people progression on this event!
Revisiting how dumb this Amalgam event(s) is. The duration is too short for F2P to take part if they utilize upgrading when possible (scarce as-is since the parts show every 3 days and everyone wants to accelerate benefits from the ship itself; if they are smart).
And from a P2W… well, I don’t see an “offer” for someone to BUY 💰 parts to take part in it also. Seems like a common sense problem of “how can one use this event to compete healthy and effectively”… the audience is just a sitting here UNABLE to do anything but buy a full ship and that’s it.
Or maybe I’m the idiot who missed something
I have a pack in my store for amalgam
So I was selected to not participate “fairly” with my own $$$? Maybe I’m not worthy for some reason.
Where did you go to know it existed? I checked the events News with no luck at being prepared even to the slightest.
Genius thinking, and to you go the spoils 😉
🔮 can I borrow it Trager? 😂
How is incursions going? Think we will get a chance to break it tomorrow? 😜
they also announced the event a week ago or so
This amalgam pack?
Its only available to ops 39 and up folks. Already verified with @desert laurel - makes this SLB impossible for 37-38 ops folks without spending $$$$ to get to to 39 to spend $$. lol
Scopely lost out on a chance at money by ops limiting that upgrade pack so high.
is US incursion still starting tomorrow at Noon EST?
Yes
Any word from APEX players? How are incursions running? Is it functioning as intended?
Its working, not interested in it 1st time inflicted on apac not now either
I am Ops 39 and don't have the amalgam pack available.
Mostly yes - vast vast improvement over last time
Hasnt crashed yet
Probably combination of factors such as spend history ops level amalgam tier etc
Thanks @abstract gate, now I'm just hoping nothing gets broken before the EU launch 😅
I saw it at 35?
They mentioned amalgam tier played into it too, but did not give details..
was token space cleared asap? Was there lots of vaulted stations because of no shields?
You better believe I'm saving tokens. >:)
There are players 20 + systems so are getting base raided
I love that there's an Amalgam event RIGHT BEFORE Incursions just to maximize availability in time for raiding.
Why there got me confused
probably low level players raiding low level players
You cant shield you share
Battle pass points pain to get ferengi event while incursions
How is the incursion going in APAC? Just asking before I spend money for an event that doesn’t happen
Its running sorry i am not very interested in it
Had just the one issue that’s apparently fixed now - US and EU events confirmed for launch
Running events which dont have issues daily kinda more important
Ok cool
I don’t have it, only the full ship unlock… I already have a T3 one
@pseudo rune send dm with ticket number for cipher fix
Doesn’t seem to be in the usual places so that people can all be competitive. And from what I’m hearing Scopely limited their P2W pool so now don’t want money?
APAC servers, can you please show your current incursions solo/alb events?
Stfc.space has all that info
There you go
I wouldn't buy any packs for incursions IMO. im still not even sure if I'll like incursions being im not big in to pvp or raiding but unfortunately I'll find out tomorrow if it sucks like i expect it to
@pseudo rune the cypher event is still not updating..I did part 1 but point not added and part 2 is not showing
@abstract gate i know) bit i need the opinions of those who participate in the same way)
Then ask for people’s opinions not their screenshots 😅
If you didn't get a chest in the "gifts"section after restarting your app, please submit a ticket and dm me the ticket number please!
Are those who are on the bye servers getting the full event rewards then otherwise our next event we will be behind the other server in upgrades.
☝️he makes a good point
Ya, it is amazing how this incursion events keep changing... Congrats 43 you can play later this month........ Meanwhile in the rest of the galaxy....
Has anyone from APAC posted anything here at all today? Good or bad?
Ye first being matched with a non existent server and then being left out.
There will not be another way to receive their rewards and we are sorry about this. however, everyone will sit out an event at some point so all servers will get the same amount of rewards
You can be in a 19 system and shield. Your choice if you want participate in incursions then .
You can so in two years everyone will sit one out?
So what was up with having 0 communication about the matching error prior to this? I mean the 126 vs 127 was just...
Give me a break, this is BS
ECO you have been given a turd to polish I get it but this is ridiculous. Scopely is like you can play with our toys later,
Sorry you paid for it
It was your dollars wasted not ours
So let me get this straight I am suppose to have ships that have 30-50% less hull points and weaker defenses in a PVP event because I have a bye event?
I’ll take a bye all year long just because between 4 tc defenses a night and incursion having to relo for a day and then also playing the game, I already have no time
Remember kids an event that is during work and school hours 🤦🏼
What does that matter if its during work and school hours?
i guess your right it does not because we don't get too anyway
@pseudo rune ssslippy makes a good point. The three servers getting excluded cannot get trophys or una shards this week. Do we get an alternate event to get a chance at those rewards?
Right now there is no plan on providing these rewards in a different way. But it's something I'm happy to bring up
if the bugs were worked out, do you think incursion is fun?
Please do - the event store has been useless this arc since the way to get those trophies hasnt happened and the arc ends in a week. So three servers have an event store they dont get to use at all for the entire arc. Seems strange to not let us earn them in some other fashion.
Really appreciate the feedback and happy to ask about this
Whoooooaaaaaaaaa, strange?
are the ops ~ 25 - 32 having fun raiding the low level bases he whales can't touch? I'd think that level group could be having a lot of fun.
That's the Scopely way!
@abstract gate ook dear APAC people please tell your current opinions)
Running incursions PvP on the same day as 2 mining events has to one of their more stupid ideas.
Thank you
Sure there ppl that don't know about event
Or they are working dumb idea #2
Just like there ppl forget to shield
There ppl getting raided on wrong server
Ie they jump over fallen sleep
Anyone else having lag so bad game is unplayable? Even more so than normal STFC lag
Like 30 seconds to load a system, 20 seconds to kill a hostile, over a minute to swap a ship
I can't wait to see the Rev review on this......
ortegas isnt working? or do i need to put her in an specific spot on the bridge?
I can see the new tagline: “Incursions: boldly go where no one has gone before… and stay there. 🤣
People will complain about anything
Including complaining about complaining. #inceptionloop
My favorite.
This is my post complaining that people are complaining about the complaining
It should be. How and where is it stuck for you?
still stuck on 3.1
Have you claimed the gift chest
Mine had to be manually set forward by CS, just happened a few minutes ago.
no gift chest
I’ve been waiting on CS to fix it for 3 hours after the discord announcement
very diligently working on it, I’m sure
Follow what Eco has said here
#💬-events-feedback message
Send Eco your ticket number
I did, 2.5 hours ago. Like I said, I’m sure they’re very diligently working on it and it is definitely not another case of “working as intended.”
The only two things scopely could do to improve Incursions, scrap them or give players a free server move to servers that will not be included in the event
Don’t see why scrapping them makes any sense tbh
Scrapping the whole event. I haven't talked to anyone that wants them and know 3 players that left the game over them.
It is basically a whole day that you can't finish dailies or any other event because if you leave your base you'll be attacked.
Anyone know the answers for the cipher event?
- It’s a PvP game. 2) Highly doubt it will be scrapped as it sources an officer and parts for a building and they spent time on it. 3) 1 sided perspective. I know plenty of players that want and don’t want to do it
Go to the #993889300989100062 channel and look at the pinned messages.
Thanks @livid garnet
It is a pvp game but most servers have a roe so very little day to day pvp. which is great, because if it was mostly pvp I would have stopped playing shortly after downloading it
If some people are quitting the game cause of a 24hr event, they need to quit then.
Just move to lower system and shield up, do your dailies inbetween the events. If not, you are only missing 1 day, no big deal in the grand scheme tbh.
Its 1 day of server vs server war. That’s a nice way to let off steam. Mining all day every day is boring. Players asked for change and this is something that was asked for and we got it
Some peoppe log on send out miners and log off for hours. That isn't playing
A 24 hr event that scopely drops your shields and forces pvp. And it is 24 each time they run it
Mine, etc before Event falls, then pew pew pew, then mine etc after Event ends
I dont like incursions but totally agree with you here. Though be interesting to see how many players from each server actually take part vs those who bubble up for the day.
With a good amount of notice. This is not an excuse
I've been in an Incursion for 6 hours now... other server has completely buttoned up. So there are ways to get around the 24 hour purge
@minor roost to give a greater area for event to occur
Tbh I’m curious too. 99% in my alliance want to get involved so will be interesting to see on a larger scale
Or do a specific system or systems for the event
I agree pvp events aren't fun
this bs event isn't fun.
Reads like a one sided perspective too... For some it is not a PvP game but that other perspective ia actively ignored in the incursion concept. It's participate or go away. Every opt out only feature is a risk for people quitting over it.
@abstract gate are you currently in a APAC server doing it?
@abstract gate why isnt it "fun"?
So any mention of compensation for the 3 servers that are left out? Saying everyone will eventually sit out so it's fair is just BS. It will take years to complete that rotation.
Exactly. Having incursion be opt in would have given the PvP players a way to go have their fun without having those that don't want to do PvP right in the middle of it
can't do dailies, can't do lat rush, some idiot levels above me sat next to my base killing all my returning ships, yes, so much fun.. 🙄
One relo token and a 24hr shield 🤣🤣🤣
I’ve seen both sides of it. Tbh we have had loads of PvE aspects lately. It would be nice to have some PvP too
There were many PvE players that just sit in territory and do their dailies in peace and quite but those are now forced to get out of the way for an event
I want you PvP lovers to have all the fun you want with each other. Smash away. Just leave me out of it without inconveniencing me to "move out of your way"
@abstract gate change systems.
Make a game out of it
Adapt your way of playing
You can still complete lat rush
Dailies as well.
Big galaxy out there
Lotta "woah is me" here
I’m not receiving all out defence SMS points
Hell, you are moving to a different server anyway. Why not have PvP players from 2+ servers thrown on a "no shield pvp away" Server for a day
@eternal willow probably a crap ton harder to code?
I am a software engineer so I think no. But for scopely all programming is hard.
@minor roost you have seen some events they fail at correct?
@eternal willow they probably already have code bridged together for xslb already and just built on that
Loving the spirit of this. Hopefully same spirits are kept after all regions have done their first run of incursion so we can form some opinions of it on facts since generally that’s the best way to get good feedback. Do it, make mistakes, get some feedback, make it better
why no run for EU 126? 🤣 what did we do? is it the level 60? i knew that wasnt fair
If you build something from scratch you can build whatever you want. If your concept and game design doesn't account for it then you will of course not build anything that would make it easier to build something entirely different. Software like this is not generic but very specific.
@minor roost in open space its a free for all, believe lbs are bracketed for the pvp win/loss
The defence and attack 6h events have brackets so bigger players can kill you but they won’t get the points for it
On our server I heard a few that just want to go to another server to go on a rampage without any repercussions. Basically just kill any and all ships everywhere. So that doesn't sound too inviting and I doubt there are servers without any such players
You've forgot: don't make it at all.
It's the way scopely ends the game... They lack of new ideas now the have already done SNW- arc.
Just let all servers burn thorugh all the material (upgrade/preparation) then throw out all he non participating... and then close one server after the other. that's it.
No more no less.
embrace the END!
There are plenty on mine too
@minor roost there will always be mmo big spenders who pick on everyone cause "they can"
@minor roost until the time comes that enough of the server populations are higher, dont think they will adjust that yet
They said they were looking into this as they wanted to do more of these types of events
You don't have to be that high of a level to just clear all the 3* mining systems to annoy most of the server population. PvP players will love a challenge but it's those other players that will not ve happy and that drives them
@eternal willow a lvl 26 can clear 3* mining easily true.
Incursions was a community idea. As for SNW they have to please Paramount so I doubt they had a choice in making SNW
i write this to every feedback... you should only can fight against your own level +/- 2 levels.
If you are 33 then the amount of resources you have for the taking is probably not even relevant to what a 51 needs. I hardly see those really big players raiding and more there for support of smaller alliance members
Depends lower ops yes but I would say +/- 3 or even 4 in some places
All out defence not scoring? Or just lag??
Yeah, I don't even do any research or upgrades for defense since it is not really preventing anything
that doesn't contradict my point. the game coming to an end ... lifecicle of products...
but it isn't PVP if a Level 54 player can attack a level 36 player... the ships from the big player has so much power, like the base with all ships from the level 36 player
You either shield or you are naked.
I’m not seeing the end of the game yet
Im ops 36 and have a giggle fit when a kelvin dies on my ships in station
Yeah that’s something I’ve said before an ops 53/54 hitting a 35 with a 60mil ship is a joke
Well if they need 2 or 3 attacks doesn't prevent the eventual ending of the story
but scopely has no interest on it to make the game fair. they wanted, that the small guns invest more money to grow.
@eternal willow its called.shields or just being active.
Regardless, if ur stations are one shot and they are raiding you it isnt scopelys fault. Its yours
I have a shield and they are not raiding me. I'm saying that if you don't shield then defenses don't matter
@minor roost it isnt magical.
Its a free component of the game
@eternal willow evetually, they dont.
I crack many bases eithee 2 shots or 10.
@minor roost not true.
May crew combinations on defense work
But as many would attest, it all depends on ship type in dock, your resesrch, person attacking etc etc.
I know that some enjoy a "I can repair cheaper and faster than you"-mini game but that's not a viable defense or PvP balancing
you see it as a fair play. that a level 50+ player can attack the ship from a level 36, who have no chance to defend or even win this fight ?
@dusky elk said before it should be lvl restricted to 39+
or your alliance-members defend you 🙂
@minor roost stop focusing in on the lvl 50 abd focus on what they are meant to accomplish which is a player within stat range for your officers able to compensate
The first part is a scopely goof and needs to be changed
No fair for me to be able to murder a 26s base in one shot too
i am level 36 and can attack level 26. not fair at all
@dusky elk same
They never scaled the brackets and should have last year when more 40s were appearing
@minor roost regardless, the lvl 36 can open your base eventually as well if you arent paying attention.
Maybe the orginal post needed to be worded better
But if your afk, eventually, doesn't matter whose on your ship, you'll be cracked
+- 5 PVP range has been an idea that has been sugested forver, for this very reason.
you want to run ahead of the pack, fine, but less targets is one of the concequenses
your choice
@minor roost that works unfortunately in many of these types of games
One medieval game i tried, my castle just gets detroyed as soon as u port in.
@minor roost there's always gunna be someone tho.
We had a lvl 35 with a 5m ent killing everyones bases.
So what's the battle pass event for tomorrow?
that's a sign of a bad game design
@hollow fossil yep. Forgot the game and didnt bother ever again
@minor roost my apologies, this was before they where more commonplace then they are now
Guy just parked at 35 forever
Master Surveyor, according to stfc.space
@livid garnet so mine iso and call it a day 🤣
Thats was today tho
Yes - both today and tomorrow:
@minor roost i pvp a lot and enjoy it.
They do need to update the pvp range to better showcase officer interactions.
32 to 39 would work or something to that extent
Just today
Doesnt that mean from [first line] to [second line]?
STFC.space doesn’t give tomorrows evens
Yes
yes, in UTC
convert to your timezone
@minor roost understandable
I do ram my ships into 18m pilums occasionally for the heck of it.
I wish they didnt nerf burning like they had lol
As stated I got that info from stfc.space. The graphic says the 18th and the 19th (today and tomorrow) Eastern.
If that's not the case, what is tomorrow's BP Event?
It will release tomorrow
STFC.space pulls live data
we will find out at noon eastern tomarrow
@livid garnet Spin the wheel!
Domination
Doomsday worms
Or Hostile hunt
We just did Helps and Threat Reduction
So we have to try and do a BP event while not getting killed by 2 servers.... sounds fun
@minor roost that too was done
how do you do events when at war?
and no, you will only have 1 server hunting you
OK, so perhaps I'm using stfc.space incorrectly? I specifically filetered for tomorrow. Just trying to understand here, so I don't misinform in the future.
there is no data for tomarow up
it only shows what is live NOW and in the past
Then why does the graphic show tomorrow's date? Seem like that's bad information. ???
People can stay outside of the window and keep attacking we have a few on 201 and they are killing everything they can get to. Making it very poor play day for lower level people
AH! - ok - time zones again! 🤦♂️ Thanks everyone for helping me work through the confusion
cause for me, it will end tomarrow
My alliance spent 3 months at war with a bunch of guys 10 ops+ higher than us I don’t think 1 day is an issue 😬😬
doing the BP shouldn't be hard at all, you get in and kill/mine till you see someone warp in, you warp out
same, except it was more like 10 to 20 levels hihger
Try ops 35 Vs ops 53
😬😬
And mid 40+
SOP for me, lol
ive moved up to ops 42, but now its 42 vrs 55+
which is why pvp banding has to be looked at
g5 ship = dead no mater what
and our resedent spender is 59, runs around with a sanctus with pan crew killing everything he touches.
Jokes on him then, he should be using Kuron 😆
Incursions taking a dump on Apac or what?
scoring issues, but base mechanincs are all working aperently.
So what u find most players are doing in the incursions
Our server is doing purges of any floater and miner to deny the other server points. So yes, attacked by two servers.
best of things with your wars after
I'm on APAC. Event has largely worked minus some scoring issues with SMS, but was able to complete it. Spent time defending and then raiding the other server. Looted about 15B in resources so far
Mining is ok, been killed a few times, but almost done with the events
Teleporting over and doing the SMS from a < 20 system is easy
@ocean bobcat did shields break for those in below L20 systems?
Lag is awful
only if you pvp
I mean, you can teleport over, keep your shield and just send your disco to be killed for points
Any triumph token rewards in any of the events?
and your shield should never drop
Sms pvp is crappy, nobody goes to designated pvp zone. And losing didn't give me any points like it was supposed ro
what about the server transfer back/forth with regards to the SMS event durations? When the 'attack' event ends, were you still on the other server and unable to score points for the defend SMS event?
Thanks
@pseudo rune one other issue with the three servers being excluded this week besides not getting trophies and Una shards is we also have no chance for the subspace building parts. You say all servers will be in rotation, but I guarantee you will have filler events in place for neutral zone servers in the future. So maybe ask the folks there about some kind of event we could do tomorrow to get some of the SMS/AMS things at least so we can be somewhat caught up. Just a thought.
I was on the server when it switched, the points of some of the kills didn't register, but I still completed the event. There is something a bit funky with registering the kills, but haven't figured out a pattern
the event read as for 6 hours : go to the other server to kill players (only scoring there) in designated system, then for 6 hours after : be on your server to defend (only scoring there) in designated system... is that incorrect then?
That is correct
so, if you transfer over, but don't transfer home (because you want to raid the other server) you won't be able to complete the defend sms
Meaning I invaded the other server while our server was defending because I was raiding bases. Then when it switched for my server to invade, I jumped over to the PVP zone to complete the event again
That is correct
I actually don't know how many tokens I have, I've bounced around a few times today
did you buy extras? 🤔
perhaps the 10 tokens aren't each time you jump over, but each run of incursions?
Nope, but also may have gotten more because APAC servers experienced the bugs from the initial incursions
I have 20 left
Ahhh, and my alliance just pm'd saying they found a fat base. hmmm
how are the events scored? is it worth it to sweep up all the afk miners on your server before the event starts?
Our server does a server wide purge 60mins before event.
Miners, floaters, everything is cleared
well we're thinking of doing the same? but would like to know if razing miners scores a lot of points or not
could either of you provide details? there will be no lat rush on wednesday.
@Eco
The "Strange New Cipher" event when will part 4 be available?
If you invade while your server is defending, you only score on XSLB, correct?
Correct
Yes, killing miners scores points.
thanks? a worthwhile number? or is it like 1 miner = 1 point. 1 parsteel = 1 point?
Depends on the event. In some they score the same as any warship, in others not so much. Lots of screen grabs on galaxy-chat.
There's multiple events. Some are dmg based. Some are straight up wins.
well if there is even one SLB where they are worth something, it should be worth it to my galaxy. i will check, thanks!
This open system PVP sms is awful. Esp the low lvl, nobody in their right mins would go there just to get ganked for zero points
It's empty and impossible to complete without some sort of pre made agreement
It's been empty of people for hours.
Ours has been quite robust in the bracket up to 45
At the ajilon narenda...nobody
How many tokens does it take to move to the other server
@pseudo rune Mr President it appears there are some that don't have conduits (I'm fine) but would it be possible to give 10 to anyone that has none? (I don't know how anyone could have missed the gift but in case could you help?)
how do we know if we attack or defend first?
how much does it cost to jump to the other server?
Do you even think how to sched stuff
I don’t mind.
@fathom brambleo are they ever going to fix all the dang red ! all over the place?
You're the bait 🤣 they need someone to hit
you know it says mining is extremely hazardous when you first start to mine..
Where do you get that much. I only got 40
What i recieved after first incursions crashed
I am wrong i have 20
Just more clutter in items materials , may eventually have a go,. But not very enthused in helping something i think waste of time.
@pseudo rune none of the points are coming through for the incursion defence event. got some earlier, and now it has stopped. Had plenty of battles over the past half hour. server 188 vs 201
My opinion they should take the information, from this apac,eu and us servers and refine it. Have a working product with players aware content of the event.
Instead of no idea as per usual next new game content.
Instead losing players, may have them interested or engaged in the game.
Will there be a reg schedule of events happening while incursions is going on ?
Are there any other servers with incursions running where their server is almost dead?
On mine there's only a few people finishing off the mining event and a handfull doing incursions, systems that are normally full of miners or people hostile grinding are empty, looks like most have just shielded and logged off for the day.
No lag at all with everyone offline, but not sure that's the lag fix we wanted.
What do the conduits do compared to the tokens?
did they narrow the pvp lvl or get rid of it for ithe ncursion
The pvp level is still there, and annoyingly it was implemented for TC zones. our opponent just has level 20 ships out mining everywhere
yeah our sever is dead. just crickets everywhere
@plush hearth did u folks have regular event schedule as well as incursions
Yeah, they ran the usual events at the same time so players trying to ignore incursions still getting miners hit while trying to do the 2 mining events.
Txs tony 👊🍺👊
Can you invade again when it’s your servers turn or do you need to purchase another token?
Why would you schedule Mining events and an incursion event at the same time for systems that you need to mine in 🤬
I think it's only an APAC server curse.
As well as there should be an Opt-in or out choice for Incursions
They seem to have done it twice so far on Lat Rush days
I woke up this morning to find my shield gone and resources depleted
Were you stationed in a lvl 20+ system?
yep
Ouch
Yeah....
Shield or share
Incursions should be a stand alone event, run it between arcs with no other events on that day. Makes it easier for everyone to ignore it.
Until scopely turns it off
my mistake for not moving beforehand but they should consider the Opt-in or out choice.
It 100% should have been in the neutral zone all along. Opt-in only.
or just make a server for it and have all the people that want to do it go there
Can anyone show what it looks like when you find someone from the other server? Like does it show up when zoomed out? Or do you have to zoom in or scan to be able to tell?
is there a way to find out which server will go first (defense/offense) when your incursions begin?
They have a big red mark around them, can't miss it.
they made it invading on purpose so the smaller people get destroyed
so they can merge more servers
pretty obvious
since they are always merging and even mentioned it in the post today
and making it a frequent event will just make more people just not play on said day
Whats it matter, you arent going to fight anyone anyway 🤣
its just people hitting smaller people anyway
its not supposed to be Space Farmville.
Oh retro I plan on it lol I'm not hiding behind a shield! :)
its also supposed to be star trek
since when do federation people invade

good try tho
it is star trek. it is not a peaceful IP
good one
im sure they used refineries in star trek
and not just replicate everything
and only worked once every 10 hours
Is the incursion event for the US servers starting just after midnight or sometime tomorrow?
but weve seen this event happen before just the no shield part is new
literally everyone just logged off for the day

oh wait it was 3 days
was a great time
So this is for three days, each starting at noon or non stop?
i think this one is just 1 day
24hrs
okay good, could have sworn i saw three days but makes sense, APAC's was only 1 day.
they scuffed it so only made it a day now
its one day. different servers have their 1 days over a 3 day window. US servers is tomorrow
no, it was always planned for one day
apparently not weekly but they are supposed to be two a month
we dont know that yet. it is 2 this month. going forward, who knows
I know. I don't think they even know🤪
Well thats not good news, stuffs up battlepass and the game in general
next arc is gonna have a botany bay 2 which is kinda obvious
yes it does
if they go ahead with it as a regular thing, unless the go with once a decade okay maybe once a year, I prob will be leaving the game.... so I hope thats what they do, freedom from this game will be nice.....
The original calendar showed it as running twice this month, so probably that
i just imagine them having a real time chart in their offices laughing at lower levels getting destroyed by high levels
"haha did you see that level 38 get hit by that 58 he just spent like $200 on packs"
🤣
Yesem brillant idea kill off the new blood , only higher players left to merge another server
sounds like you are in a crappy server. ours is organized with larger ships ready to defend smaller players
No need to defend if players were organized and in a 19 system. Where you can shield !!
I was ko by a northcutt 64 million firepower 59 million shields ... i was dust bunnies to 7 million critical hits
After experiencing a cycle of Incursion event (defend and attack), I've added another page for this incursion event. You can go to https://stfc-gameplay.omnizen.xyz/incursion-day2 to read up about the latest incursion event experience. For those who have not read the first incursion experience you can go to https://stfc-gameplay.omnizen.xyz/incursion-day1 for some background on the first run of the incursion event.
This page talks about the experience of the first successful run of the Incursion Event.
This page talks about the experience of the first day of the Incursion Event. What are the events, how the incursion works, what you see and the bugs that kill
Why are people from the other server showing up on our latinum leadership boards
Good question Kiri
Could you confirm something for me? Hitting a cracked station with your amalgam was giving you points for winning a pvp fight in Champions XSLB and Allied Ops AMS?
What is this 😂?
Someone from server 89 made an alt account for our server, 57?
Working as intended?
Is it normal that many/most of the players dont have any conduit in their inventory for incursions tomorrow?
What is the participation rate like on your server? Based on mine I wouldn't call it a successful event. The xslb provides rewards up to 250 players and yet only 93 players across 2 servers have actually registered a point so looks like the vast majority are ignoring the event completely.
yes Rex, we got ours in the first 5 mins after the event started
Ah, thanks Airlock!
This is the most worthless event store. I haven't been able to pull off it once. Why even have the thing
The XSLB has several segments, and it's a good thing so that more will at least earn something for their efforts.
The client makes it so I cant see past number 100...so I cant tell how many people participated
yes. confirmed. got points for both
Did the event say bases counted?
How absolutely marvellous, looks like I don’t have to participate in this nonsense at all to get points, I just need to find an abandoned station 😄
That's participation! 😃
no it did not...it was a pleasant surprise for me...
I suppose it is in a way haha, just not quite what I imagine the good devs had in mind
anyone has some screenshots of today's incursion event scoring ?
found it , thanks
Mining events that need 20 hrs of mining and incursion events that kill you miners every 10 to 30 minutes. Likely killed of chance of finishing BP event. Thinking I should quit.
love that people get so sensitive over their addiction getting blasted on 
@pseudo rune . Feedback from some of our members is that for incursions to work, they need to be run on a weekend and have fewer ‘other’ events. Bit pointless trying to run a dual server pvp event alongside 2 mining events- lat rush and battlepass
Gotta say I feel the opposite, our incursion has been such a nothingburger without other events would just be a log off and shield day.
Also 6h SMS's suck, ditch them.
The incursion timing does suck a lot. Conflicting with mining events. And on a freaking Tuesday for apac. People were raiding starting from midnight. We got work you know
One week you can't do lat rush and you want to quit? Maybe you should if that bothers you so much
The auto shield drop is also a terrible mechanic
My feeling is that the event is a sop to the dolphins and whales at the expense of casual players. So many players have been drained on both sides because they were not aware of the event
We also have players that we have special no touch rules for and they have suffered as a consequence
Biggest issue I've seen is people not realising Opla, Kepler & Azha are lv 20 systems. Absolutely packed with people who thought they were in the safe zone.
Our village idiots thought that you didn’t have to shield in <19 - it was automatic
Shield suppression has been discussed and announced ad nauseam
Let’s not halt evolving the game because people refuse to read
Not everyone has discord. Not everyone logs in every day
It’s been announced through IGN
See I game and have no idea what that is
In game News
Evolving the game would be fixing all the bugs. Making territory work etc
Tbf should probably be stickied in there, just checked and there's no explanation for it anymore just schedule stuff.
in game news is also the wrong info
What is wrong about it?
you have to scroll all the way to the bottom to see the small change of dates
Perhaps, but there’s a link to the faq page still
You are a fanboi… did they give you a second realta?
they dont care about losing servers/players btw
That’s not wrong
It’s when the prep events happened
We didn’t get a second round of prep events
if they keep merging servers its cheaper for them and more money for the execs
9-10 there never were actual incursions nor were they scheduled
it still has all the info about it and then a small section saying a change of dates
😱omg how in the world would it be possible for a reasonable someone to have an opposing view to yours?!
if there was a seperate blurb that stated a alert heck
even a notification
people would be aware
No
They really wouldn’t be
No matter how many times you slap info in some people’s faces they refuse to read it anyway
Communication hasn’t been perfect I’ll definitely agree with you, but it’s been the most proactive and correct we’ve seen in a long time
eh idrc im not participating anyway
🤣
yall can lose your mats im fine taking the day off
You can’t lose mats. Only the opc ones in your mining ships. But you could lose those too now
But hope it isn’t crazy hot where you’re at so you get to enjoy going outside!
Not making a lot of sense 😉 hope it’s self induced and not the heat
Your battle pass mining requirement takes 20 hours…?
Sorry Not talking lat rush (L23) but today broke the whole months arc for me and there is not one plus in incursions at this level
Ok fair enough.
Someone forgot to build an envoy
BP is only 5+ hrs 5000G3 an hour but at 2 deaths an hour + repear and travel time = 2000 an hour = 13 hrs * 0.5 (2 Miners) = 6.5 hrs of close watching - not doing other dailies. But the impossible is the 900,000 event or 90,000G3 SMS or 9 hrs 2 miners normally or 20+ hours today
2 Envoys fully built with all research and specific crew 20+ hours today without doing anything but whatch the miners to keep the rebuilds rolling
Yeah…you’re pretty much screwed unless IRL let’s you do the mining in your server’s attack window. And even then…if the other server is aggressive and doesn’t leave…you’re even more screwed.
Why are you not mining iso or data or reg lat for battlepass event?
Also there is no bp event that requires 900.000 points 🧐
Mine requires 1.2 mil
Could be higher could be lower, but none that has 900k
👆
It jumps from 750k to 1M at ops 30. Having 900.000 as top milestone doesn’t exist.
ok not 900k exactly….sure
Mine is 900,000 10pts G3 3points data not sure iso as to slow to mine at L23
Ops 23 has a top milestone of 267k
3 points per data red or green…
It’s… a bit hard to give advice if the info we’re given doesn’t add up
red - need L24 to upgrade BB to reach green
And what speed does it mine at?
how about about dvor?
around 750 or 1000
He’s (also) talking about Lat Rush SMS…took a hot minute to parse that out…
Lucky you even get Incursions. Can I tag @pseudo rune and ask for a change of heart re 192 vs 43? I think we were all hoping to at least see what happens, now we don't even get the chance to see how it works. How difficult is it to realise there are an uneven number of servers and do something about it before coming up with this? Is an APAC server going to miss out every nine times this runs? Every fourth arc or so? Come one
Lat rush is higher level when you have ship/crew
Well even if he was that has a 600.000 top milestone and also it’s completely inconsequential for your BP progress 😅
But even the BP 26k would need ~6 hours No dailies No other events No lunch breaks
It’s grindy for sure
do you not have a dvor?
But you can still complete the battlepass just fine by missing one event (or top milestone)
Thing you can’t complete is the overflow event but that’s meant to be hard
I love how scopely has matched up 201 and 188. It's genocide
Possible but running events like this that only suit the whales and says to those under L25 you may as well skip this month as you cannot participate (except as fodder) and there is nothing for you except disruption kills any fun for those under L25 and many5 or more levels higher
Thats me 201
Same with our servers
Whoever made this decision is a fool
201 is still a wee bebbeh
I can only assume scopley have decided that they want to end STFC and are running the incursion event to get people to quit
No - the 900,000 mining SMS is the first BPs I will not see
is there a list of what servers on scheduled for incursion?
I scrolled up past last month, didn't see anywhere that listed servers
So on the topic of compensation for the servers left out: Since there are 50+ servers per region and the event is run once a month it will take 4+ years until every server has missed it once. This does not seem fair at all to me. Servers missing out in the beginning will be behind the pack for years to come.
I wouldn’t worry about it…the rewards are paltry…
in #⚡-mod-announcements 4 posts up
I see it, thank you.
It’s literally one day within the battlepass duration. 🤦♂️
It’s scheduled twice this month, and that doesn’t account for future mergers
Still doesnt answer the question ...how after working on something this big and running a bunch of xserver events to test and develop it...not a single genius at scopley thought " oh crap odd numbers of servers will be a cluster!"....a 5 year old child understands odd and evens....
On completing the building of Cerritos if you do this on/in the Cerritos event do you get points to the event, I can not remember the rewards?
Considering they thought the event was a good idea at all probably answers your question
i am not kidding though...at no point did even the cleaner go " er guys...odd numbers cant be divided by 2...just saying"....
Position Vacant
Scopley requires the services of an experienced person who can count.The ability to tell odd from even numbers is essential.
Skills in reading a calendar and comprehending APAC is a day ahead of the USA desirable but not essential.
APAC actually starts at UTC+4 which is not "a day ahead of the USA since they are using UTC-4 (east coast) as their base time.
Granted, yes - it spans to UTC+12 but even Australia is only UTC+8 to UTC+10 so 12-14 hours "ahead" of scopely.
If you jump in an incursion event to the other server as an invader are you limited to L20+ systems?
nope
our weekend grinding events start sunday 2am...finish 2am tuesday.....mining monday starts 2am tuesday finishes 2am wed....and its worse as you go across apac timezones
Interesting...🤔
well, that's for you living in the eastern part of the APAC zone, I guess... given the times New Zealand? It is not for people living in India, Armenia, China, Bangladesh, ...
Well that changes things now...thx.... This should get interesting breaking this...🤣
Sydney...new zealand is 2 hrs closer to usa....
Anyone got an update on how the incursion is going? For APAC
what's to break there? it is intended that you can shield in a <20 system as an attacker but if you attack unshielded bases there or anywhere else your shield will drop (making this basically a regular PVP mechanic)...
That’s only part of APAC 😉
Sorry to say but the same way as the US is not "America", Australia (and New Zealand) is not APAC
Like STFC isn't broken enough already... But those who read between the lines know how to exploit... Just have to see it if you can. 🤣👌
Odd numbers? They managed to get all 3 regions with odd amounts...well planned.
Evidently I’m referring to the day ahead portion of your comment 🤦♂️
yep...its all good...nobody has any good reason for the servers missing out and players in Australia and New Zealand are well aware of their value .We are just glad we can test out every maintenance update first so its fixed before it rolls out to the more important parts if the world.🤣
Would you stop tagging me in response to a completely separate topic?
that's sadly due to total player amount - if APAC had more players than the US or EU those would "test out" new updates 😉
I really don’t see what APAC’s time zones have to do with the amount of servers in game worldwide but must be me
also speaking on a business point - the ability to have a smaller subset of servers live testing (which is usually done by having invited players on a beta server, so bugs etc. are catched there and player input is received well before publishing content) is crucial ... so this makes APAC even more valuable I guess? 🤣
So Scopely is leaving some servers out of their ‘let the whales smash so we can sell packs’ event. Any chance servers can volunteer? I’m pretty certain the majority of my server are going to shield and sit out the whole incursion time.
no one would ever shield as scopely pointed out that only makes you a coward. to not want to be one hit and drained by a L50+ whale.
That’s what I’ll be doing, shielded up in a low level system
It's worse than that. If they exempt one server from EU US and APAC every event, every 9 times it runs every APAC misses out one go. That's approximately once every 3 months, or 4 times a year, or once every triple arc run.
I’m curious why the calendar issues with APAC have popped up now after 3 years
If they tie one-off rewards eg crew shards to an arc you are ruined for getting that officer
Apparently the APAC Calendar doesn’t work for incursions but it did for all the other events
I'm not kidding either. The event is the stupidest thing that was ever thought up, the odd number issue is just a tiny one in comparison.
Not new....just more pronounced with more recent events...turf wars starts mid cycle ... 3 day memorial weekend grind was almost all during workdays.It is what it is and was a minor part of the comment that odd numbers of servers was an easy to see problem.
there's been no attempt made at balance at all.
It was a community idea
I’m not following. EU and US have these issues as well
In a monkey's paw kinda way sure. 🤣 Don't think anyone was asking for this:
Server vs Server was asked for
Yes, and they implemented it poorly, with bad events and server balancing that make it unfun. The running around in another server part is fine.
Our territory take overs do take to account the different calendar days...the events like turfwars dont...so the scedule doesnt line up with t1 t2 t3 zones ect and the day without takeovers. Ironic the 1 thing that was adjusted falls foul with new events.
Probably sore that they were asleep and got raided 😄
That looks like fun 😃
Haven’t seen the events yet but I know they want to change it up. As for server balancing that’s something we will have to see. APAC is seriously unbalanced due to how small it is for EU and US I suspect there will be a handful of servers that don’t get matched properly
Well it's been 2h+ of jumping between ships across 2 systems to get 1/3 of the way through an SMS, so if that's your cup of tea you'll love it. 🤣 Eventually just abandoned it to go do my dailies instead. Might make more sense as 2 simultaneous 24h SMS's rather than 4 6h ones.
I don’t think on any region turf wars takes into account the T1-3 territories
we missed the event completely...twice now if you include the half run lol.
i have cypher event still stuck at #1
Have you claimed the gift chest?
You slept/worked for 24 hour straight?
Also, event still running...
never received the gift chest
There's 6h SMS's
i even sent my game ID to Eco
our server has been excluded
and?
aah
Luckily they'll be swapping you into the next one 😂
Yeah 192 got the boot
Everyone is affected by those
I don’t know one person that can stay awake for 24h straight
You mean like the daily events? Always going to be something you're asleep for
Ten years ago I could and did 🤣
Yeah I missread CmndrTaylor's post, was about his server not being included.
id would expect the second run will be the same match ups given previous comments about attack and defence times being reversed
👍🏻
I mean, if daily SMS's started dropping new Epic officer shards yeah that would suck too.
But everyone will be affected the same way, regardless of territory
Some work nights, some don't, some work weekends, others not
Most people sleep
some, as we learned with the disco flash events, will wake up every 2 hours to compete in an SLB
Right, which is why the SMS's should be 2 24h ones (one for attacking and one for defending) instead?
They aren't impossible to do, that doesn't mean they're good design.
I would like that, definitely... but you've seen the amount of peeing about that a single 24 hour window has caused 😂
Can you imagine the tears if people thought they had to shield for two whole days? 🤣
Theres an irony in that we are one of the few servers pushing to participate and for something new given our tiny population and we get shoved out lol
I've not taken part in one yet, as I'm EU - need to wait til tomorrow evening still - but even as a primarily PVE oriented player I'm looking forward to trying it out 😄
Yeah don't agree with complains about the 24h window. I mean the SMS's should run simultaneously, the attack one only scores on the enemy server and defense on your own, so no reason they can't run together.
If I got hit by Enterprise. The PvP event didn't count the points.
What ops are you?
My Op is 35. And It also happened OP 33.
weird, so the event says you hould score by being shot by an ent?
Do you have to be the one to initiate the attack for the loss scoring?
hard to help when I've not got the event yet 😂
Cycling back to the "every x events one server is missing out" - this is true and more pronounced on APAC. for APAC it's 1 every 9 runs they miss out, while on EU it is 1 every 59 runs and US it is 1 every 73 runs. So in fact APAC servers will miss out 6+ events while EU and US only miss out on 1 on average.
Since this is tied to upgrading a building, I get why this leaves a bad taste in your mouth but since there are new servers and mergers coming for sure I guess this will fluctuate over time and might not be as bad as the math looks now.
Are you in the right location (server/system) for the attack/def cycle you're in now?
So long as they get the server numbers back into parity, then always merge or raise new servers in pairs, they should be able to keep it on an even keel after they fix it the first time
so, 4 -> 2 for a merge, or 2 new servers at a time in a region
that's literally impossible - at least while maintaining some sort of balance between two servers 😄
What balance? 😂
Especially for APAC
unless they start pairings between regions... but I doubt that's any better
dunno - from what I know (without seeing it, need to wait for tomorrow) my paired server is vastly over-powered compared to my server. At least judging from the rankings I got screenshots from 🤷
159 😄
I know 😉
older and at least TOP stronger server than 162 🤷
So we miss the event every nine weeks?
I volunteer as tribute!
If it is weekly, I guess it will be more on the bi-weekly / twice a month side of things... we'll see
aside from a very small number, 161/2 seemed to be a relatively low spend/power server for our age
I struggle to believe that.
nothing bad in itself - only if you're paired up with way higher spender / powered servers 😉
if it's weekly expect mass depatures from the game
Makes no odds to me at the moment, with my paper-ent 🤣
I will be completing based on losses!
Yep it was. It was requested on here a lot
well, then I pity the people who thought it up and I pity the people who implimented it so poorly
NB, don't you see? It's only their opinion that matters 👀
welcome to the club 😉
if I'm not lucky and catch a few lower players with my kelvin 😄
This single event will be responsible for more people leaving STFC then any other
Interesting
meanwhile, we have borderline-anti-pvp players like Fiz enjoying himself immensely 😂
Find me the evidence
I’m not PvP and I’m excited for this 🥺
IKR? I have paper-ent because I'm pve focused, still looking forward to how it falls out 😂
Yeah my Augur and Ent is small too but should be funny
Hmm - I'm looking forward to it being at some point extended to have all playstyles included and not being a PVP exclusive event... a man can hope, can he?
187's entire server chat
pretty much the entire server hates it
Seems like It only happened when you lose by Ent.
and with good reason, we've been paired against a server full of 50+s and we haven't even hit 2nd ascension
barely hit first
So 1 server? Can I counter this with my server saying they want this then? Get a bigger sample before you claim to have evidence of something not working out please
Or take criticsm of this event seriously
Eco’s listening
I think it was Simpy I was talking about it with when they had the abortive attempt last time...
Scoring should be PVP (either server), and hostiles/mining on the other server, with a range of systems to hostile/mine in, with points weightings accordingly (so higher scoring pve activity is also higher weighted pvp scoring to encourage risk vs reward of completing faster)
In your opinion
and bam, suddenly it works
To be fair, if that server manages to have more people quit the game than "all other servers combined during other events (with those events being the reason)" by definition he would be right 😄
Presenting conjecture and hyperbole as fact doesn’t make it universally true.
"I don't like it, and people will quit" is not criticism
it's a complaint
Then the server gets merged and life carries on
good try though
