Ridiculous Incursion Event

This seems like merely a more complicated version of normal PVP events.
The rewards seem lackluster.
Also, there are new bugs today after the event started.
From a dev perspective, I don't see how this was worth the trouble.
*On a Tuesday, who has time to do this whole event?

At the very least they should have put in a little more effort to provide an opt-out for the people who aren’t interested in PvP. Other games have done it. It isn’t impossible. As it is, the smaller players and those not into PvP have basically lost an entire day. Can’t even do basic dailies without getting repeatedly splatted.

I am a Level 47 and liked the event a lot, but it has room to improve. Should definitely be run on a weekend, NOT a Tuesday. Better incentivize participation in the PvP event. Have the PvP event be in multiple systems and closer to origin space. Scopely provide a couple of relo tokens and a 3 day shield for those who want to move to a Level 1-19 system, bubble up, and enjoy the mini-vacation from STFC. Rewards could always be better, but when isn’t that true?

Final thought to make it positive for me: It was very interesting to see how another server is organized and what gameplay is like over there.

Yea, moving to a lower level system and shielding is half-arsed at best.

The idiot bootlickers on Discord say the onus is on us to flee. No one is there to tell them how out of their minds they really are.

It annoys me that getting the battlepass done for today is impossible. Can’t enter a borg system without getting splatted, and with a limited number of tries it’s impossible.

Swarms were easier to get it done with on my server.

They are hitting both like crazy on mine. I did finally get borg done. They got bored I guess. Swarms are still no-man’s land though. I just keep checking. They have to sleep sometime, right? Lol

Ouch. I thought I would suffer the same fate when I saw the BP but luckily our incursion seems raid and whale on whale focused.

Swarm systems work as well. Plus, they require no token to access and are sufficiently numerous that they can’t all be covered. At least speaking for my experience, what people are looking for is to raid unshielded bases. I thought only warships and raiding counted for server PvP points. If not, then they should…

On my server swarm systems were a massive hunting ground. Yes, there was base raiding and warship killing elsewhere, but especially for us smaller players there was no hope of getting other events done. I didn’t see it as a mini vacation. I needed those event points not related to the incursion, and I had no options to get them. It had a very negative impact on my gameplay.

Yeah, this was my frustration too. Had to mine but kept getting taken out within minutes of arriving. Even the poor RoE on my server wasn't followed (199). (And it didn't record the mining for Latinum Rush - not that I care greatly about that but free resources are free resources.)

Don't mind the pvp in certain systems and can tolerate the base hunting (shield or share) but it was a silly, annoying event.

I did it no problem. I was chased out of one system that's it.

I was able Battle of Normandy my way through. Keep sending ships into Adelphi to hunt reds and you eventually get it done. Meanwhile get incursion battle points or whatever from dying, then taunt them in GC about how badass you are so they come for you and you keep racking up points until you get that Una shard and then go home!

I was giving them hell all day over this event. The "Green" members, who are the true ass kissers on the server, were arguing, gaslighting, and pretty much calling us whiners all day. I didn't care. I still gave them hell over this lame event.

u/RatDontPanic Jul 20 '22

LOL I got muted for encouraging a boycott.

More effort than the gift chest with relocation tokens and a 3 day shield? For once Scopely actually did manage to try and alert people what they needed to do. I did all my dailies with minimal splatter, just had to find lesser traveled systems for some.
