    @Bylo Band I totally agree. Even in the lower ranks how many who are trying to get to that 1500 level will lose out to someone who uses this 'cheat'?

    Great so i could have had 25% more points in the same timeframe, didnt the ingame message about the upgrade specifically said the timeshortening features would require a forced upgrade? Oh yes it did lol. I was gonna celebrate the last traditional skirmish (without speedup features) by tapping like a maniac but ill wait until the playingfield is leveled again to continue, since im only losing ground...
    PS Again DB/TP dont try to fix/implement stuff in eventtime clearly it always backfires

    But isn't Steam an authorized 3rd party?

    Do i give up or scream bloody murder after the event how i was taxed the extra time-rather than complain others saved time...so what do i deserve from cs?

    Sure no one forced me to participate in an uneven playing field, but that's kinda like telling me to $@#! off about ff my 3/5 janeway. I mean it's not like existing golds are the exception in events, right? *drips sarcasm*

    It gives a player an advantage, by exploiting it.

    This is like the shuttle debacle. You gotta send shuttles....skirmish you gotta tap

  • Yeah i was hoping to add 2 stars to janeway aswell, too bad not going to happen now
  • Capt AjammCapt Ajamm ✭✭✭
    This is completely unacceptable for TP to do nothing...... It undermines the very real fact that the few & far between events with existing golds are how us non-whales get an opportunity to even the playing field with extra *s

    You can't blame the players, they have no choice but to engage the bug in their normal game play. We've a fleet member who plays via steam, is she supposed to not get her copies of Rios of Soji or any of the other rewards?

    EXACTLY!

    Plus, majority of players are not even on forum, so if u always play on Steam how should someone know thats not the ususal/meant behavior of 7.5
    for everyone?

    Whoa there. Let's not compare this Steam situation to the building and using of a macro. It's no where close to the same thing.

    Right so instead of TP blaming players (punitive approach) instead look at how to compensate those others to lift up into more equitable outcome. Like the captain level glitch or 10k shuttle debacle

    What about a 25% rank reward adjustment? As in 25% more get each tier.........so top 1500 becomes .....what is adding another 25%? Top 1500 gets gold becomes top 1875 & so on down the line...just an idea

    The thing that gets me is I have farming goals in mind. Other people are able to farm at a faster rate than I. Also, I’m missing out on being able to accomplish more farming by not being able to use this

    You don't have to be on the forum to notice that some people score much more points than usual. Even being on the forum doesn't help much if you're trying for a high rank, because you're busy skirmishing, not reading threads. I haven't read about it on the forum, I simply noticed that some players scored much more points than myself in the same amount of time and I consider myself one of the quickest skirmishers, so I just did some digging. The big disappointment is that the in-game message regarding the 7.5.0 update didn't mention Steam, so that was not one of the first things I tried, yet I figured it out pretty quickly.

    Also, it's premature to consider it "a bug" since this might be part of the 7.5.0 update, and the real mess up is that this thing occurred during an event, which made it uneven. I feel for Bylo Band if he took days off to play for a high rank and got screwed by this.

    Anyway, if someone wants to do the math, I scored 250K vp in the past hour (I usually do 190K tops).

    Would a free copy of Janeway given to everybody make it better?

    No. I don’t care about the grey haired Janeway. I’m currently 82nd but rank isn’t my concern. I’m in it to farm as many items as I can

    Fingers crossed for something more universal, like a 5* citation.

    I'm thinking a free Janeway, 3,000 chronitons, 3,000 honor, 300,000 credits, 50 merits, some trainers, 25 dilithium, a Fugitive Burnham, and whoever the rare is in threshold. That should cover the difference to the next rank tier and and some chronitons and honor that could have been gained if iOS and Android also had the exploit. If first place is using iOS or Android, then give them a gold citation too. Otherwise, they're getting a first place finish and the extra Janeway will have to do.

    Just my opinion. WRG is going to do as they please. I'm just trying to think of something equitable.

    Is this playing by steam, because that's a huge difference to what I normally pull in.

    If this amounts to a 25% advantage, I'd accept a 25% boost to my final score. Please forgive me if I'm missing something obvious, the event is 20 hours old and I'm on hour 17 of button pushing.

    But doing it that way for us non-Steam players would proportionally compensate us for time/resources actually spent playing, yes? I don't want handouts, I just want to win/lose honorably.

    Also, if we are looking for a cheeky TP epithet, may I suggest we use the name Tilted Playingfield?

    Ha! That works! Considering I am doing the 10 dilithium reward each battle for extra chrons and honor, I know this won’t be popular, but in my case chrons and honor would be preferable. Again, I know this is not others situations and I am probably speaking for a minority

    That makes sense, bumping everyone up to the next rank tier. I wouldn’t mind if the WaRGs tossed in a 5* citation for everyone, too, as a way to show they understand how they Tilted (the) Playing (field), even if inadvertently. It is only my opinion, but the Steam players have done nothing wrong in this situation, so I don’t think it’s fair to exclude or punish them. 🖖

    The captain level achievement on new year's allowed claiming the rewards again. Instead of reversing it, it was left for another week to allow everyone to claim theirs again
