  • Two videos in one day for @everyone to watch? YUP! STFC dropped a lot of content with some potential goodies that can easily be overlooked by the (understandable) frustration over another loop. F2P Sourcing for several new primes. In this video we'll also discuss basic crewing and refinery information for these new hostiles.
    Topics covered:
    1. Crewing vs Silent Enemies: The basics strategies and how players 39-55 are taking down these hunters
    2. Temporal Artifact Refinery and how it works
    3. Understanding WHICH hostiles to hit in your level bracket!
    4. If you have any game mechanic questions, feel free to drop those questions in the comments!

    I'm done with this loop. This loop is extremely badly designed, even by scopleys low standards. It's difficult, it's complicated and takes an absolute age to get a payoff. It needs a major rewrite, preferably not by the people that came up with this shambles

    Thanks for the video Rev.
    A little side-track on the dolamide particles and "thanks Scopely" part:
    They added a F2P option to acquire those particles, that much is true, but let's look at "how":
    Field training: 7th milestone of the Voyager field training rewards 400 particles which is huge but it requires 1000 turn-ins of insignia. We can do 8 of those at most a day because of cooldowns which means 125 days of clicking with "max. efficiency" but here is the kicker: YOU ARE NEVER GOING TO GET THERE! Because simply no one is getting these kinds of drops that gives you enough to turn them in. So in reality, this will take literally more than a year to complete... and by then it becomes pretty pointless for your gameplay.
    Ex-Borg: The particles are in the mega chests which unlock at exalted which cost BANANAS amount of epic credits (which you obiously not get as much of). So either you buy, buy, buy some packs (NX-01 to get more Ex-Borg credits, Ex-Borg packs to get to exalted quickly or Ex-Borg packs to get more credits) or it is a pretty insignificant amount that you will be getting, once you get there at all. The best part is, if you are F2P (or at least not buy €100 packs) and need like 6 months to get there, and by the time you get there, well, it does not matter as much then any more.
    Section 31: This is the only true place to get these particles, and it is great. Level 4 of the efficiency primes require 600 of these particles but that's absolutely fine, we are obviously getting this for free.
    I just want to say that this looks very much like "hey look, we gave you ways to accomplish this by grinding!" but "the grind" is taking anywhere from quite a few months to literally years in this case.

    • @Skullet
      @Skullet 4 месяца назад +4

      100% this. They gave us a way to get the particles ftp, but at best it's a token gesture and at worst a slap in the face. I don't think we should be thanking Scopely for that or we're setting the bar incredibly low.

    The event that’s paired with this event forces players to drop down to a system that drops loot that doesn’t do them any good, just to “compete/score” in the event. If you stick to the assigned/needed hostiles, you will fall very low in the leaderboard (not able to score a lot of kills for leaderboard)

    First observation: there is not enough systems, especially the 41 ones.
    Second observation: Why put mining nodes in the samy system, probably to cause even more lag.
    After first run: Those hostiles fire 4 salvos each turn. What does that say? Use Janeway. Grab a toolbox with one SNW on side. Or Tucker. Pack Hugh underdeck. Generally - crews that work against freebooters will work here as well. With a small modification. I need to test out which exactly sidekick works best but that's the template.
    To finish up - I don't like the idea with ops dedicated loot. That's complete bonkers, artificial duplication of items in inventory. And forcing to hit specific type of hostiles. Also if I ops up before using up all the previous stuff - what then? It'll stay littering my inventory till servers die?
    Also just a thought - no skipping ships = more camping. You hear that $copley overloards? MORE CAMPING!
    Don't tell I didn't warn you.

    So between WD's that I can't kill anything past wave 2 besides surveys. Xindi, and now this. they have given me access to some cool stuff That I can not do in any meaningful time scale or in any fun way. I do like this quality they are providing.

      It survived because I think he hit a hostile that had almost no hull left. If you check battlelogs you'll see that there's a red bar that shows how much hull the ship had left when you hit it, there's no red bar here so the ship probably had almost no hull when the Ent hit it.

    Absolutely the worse loop ever! Further proof that nobody at Scopely actually plays the game with a normal account or they would know how difficult to impossible this is for lots of players. I tried all 3 recommended crews plus the one in your youtube and managed to kill only 1 at the ops level it requires to get a total of 296 of the parts to get a chest that cost 3000 to open. Ops 55 with a T5 Corvus have to hit level 55 silent enemy hostiles using mostly max officers. You should be telling everyone on youtube to only go after the level 41's and forgo the loot chest turn ins if you want any chance to finish the event, unless maybe if you are at the top of your bracket. If you are at the lower end of a bracket, there is NO chance. I can already grade this arc with a big fat F.

    Lower decks was key. Had to downgrade from my T2 Valdore to T9 Augur and put on Hugh (crit chance +), B'Elanna Torres (hull breach), Odo (crit damage +), Tom Paris (mitigation), D'Vana Tendi (hull health) with Severus crew. Could hit a few 41's or one 44. Other downside is that there are so many going after the 41's that my Cerritos buff expires before I can get more than one 41.

    That crew on Enterprise, (Severus, Decius, and Charvanek) for the L39 must have had dumb luck or he hit a hostile that already had damage. I am L39 and used the same crew, but with a 9M+ Enterprise, and all the lower deck slots were filled with BD skills. Perhaps the guy in the example had higher level officers? I came close but no cigar. I also went after an L 41 interceptor hoping the triangle would help.
    Later... ok tried the same crew 4 times with Enterprise and got one victory over an Explorer. It did come close every time I lost though so I got lucky one of the times.

  • @robosterwise2518
    @robosterwise2518 4 месяца назад

    So first and foremost, thanks Rev for a great summary. What might have been added is that this loop is more than a challenge unless you are "Tier + 1or2 levels" so that you can punch down. A relatively new 41, 46, or 51 (based on which band you fall in) is not likely to be successful since they'd be swinging at level. As a recent 46 and w/o a tiered 46 rare ship the best I could do was the Janeway crew, +2 exo's, +cherry buffed, +fortified +stacked lower deck for damage to kill one hostile per token "at my required level". So IMO it seems scopely tested/tuned this in the upper half of the band ranges and there's a weak spot for those just entering the level band? IE: there's no value in killing what you can kill from the previous band - those rewards seem useless. Anyway, thanks again. I'll be "saving my tokens" for when I have a fighting chance.

    Scopely needs to fix the cash in process for the Temporal Disrupter parts. I turned lvl 52 last month and I atm only have 4* ships that still need 4* parts for my ships. So the 5* parts I cant use it just yet! Will they fix this issue soon?

      @jeffdetrick 4 месяца назад

      I'm in exactly the same boat unfortunately. I wanted to spend a little time at 52 to level up my Korinar but 4* ship parts are going to be a huge problem. At the same time I went to 52 I tiered up my Voyager not even considering that now it wouldn't pay out 4* parts anymore so I screwed myself there as well.

      I'm at 52, If your voyager is still t7 or below you can still get and refine 4* star parts that way, but it's still slower than it was when you were ops 50 and below.

  • @brendanhurley2509
    @brendanhurley2509 4 месяца назад

    Yeah...this should be more fire and pitchforks on this grind loop. Ops 49 at the moment and I hate not having a way to spend any loot that you will get, especially when we are forced to drop down lower to hit these hostiles. I have a T6 Pilum at 35m power, you can argue I am underpowered sure but hey uncommon ship parts are a long grind too. Ran Severus Decius and Charvanek with Hugh Odo and Tendi below decks sicne I only can have 3 slots there at my level. A lvl 46 silent enemy dropped by 29.5m hull to 10m so effectively only one of these hostiles per token. We get two tokens a day and the event called for 2200 points, 4 of those 46 hostiles would only get me 260pts, at best with the launch day gift for tokens I have two more available to use.
    This is a flat out broken mechanic for majority of players! You want to reward us more for hitting those higher level hostiles, fine no problem, make those rare g4 pulls have better and more loot than the uncommon ones...but at least let us slow roll it with uncommon parts and lower hostiles if we don't have the power to punch up.

So either you buy, buy, buy some packs (NX-01 to get more stuff, ex-borg packs to get to exalted quickly or ex-borg packs to get more stuff) or it is a pretty insignificant amount that you will be getting.
      Or you are f2p and need like 4 months to get there, and by the time you get there, well, it does not matter as much then any more.

    Just from this month, when i got and hit the lvl46 Silent Hostiles I'm lucky if i can do it in 20 minutes. The reason for it is that they're not spawning as they only have lvl49s in them. This is because the Lvl49s are way too strong and can't be killed by a Ops49....so all the Ops 49s sit in the middle of the system waiting for a 46 to spawn. It's a joke. they need to create a system per level of hostiles like the mantis.

Its really poor that none of the team that comes up with these idea's actually plays the game. They need to reduce the difficulty on these, many lower levels not even engaged in this to get the free primes where it will be most useful for them.
    Side note, I wasted 2 tokens in the wrong system. The loot was poorly communicated. The level locked loot, is what people are not enjoying if they cant hit the higher ones needed.
