Trial of Terrors Event Feedback

Hello Space Pilots,

Please post your constructive feedback here for the Trial of Terrors Event. Please be thoughtful in your comments here and feel free to create new posts in the appropriate areas for your questions or event discussions.

As usual, off topic posts will be removed from this thread.

Thank you,

 

Please stop editing the old FAQ. Even if the rewards are mostly identical, it helps to know precisely what's changed. Just create a new thread like most other events...

Weird that the ToT boxes are named Box A, Box B, then Box 3 in the FAQ. Inconsistent.

The FAQ doesn't tell us how many lives we get in the event gate.

ToT Box 3 rewards are terrible. It's only got I-Oil going for it. It'd be nice if the ammo was something else, such as JOB or the event SBL ammos.

Drone Box dropping small amounts of A-BL ammo is really sad. A-BL is plentiful in the game.

Drone Box says 'Frost', but the actual design's called 'Hailstorm'.

The recipes are exactly the same as previous years'. Consider a lot of players won't have anything worthwhile to craft. There are other level 4 P.E.T. AI protocols that haven't been available for over 6 years, such as Cargo Expansion and HP. Why not shuffle the rewards a little every year. Or make new rewards...

Suggest adding some generally useful rewards for people that have all the protocols to spend their golden corn on. E.g. recipe to craft JOB ammo.

XH01 modules aren't even good. They shouldn't cost 10 keys each, in my opinion.

Every battlepass has this problem that most ammo isn't worth crafting. SBL is nice ammo, but 10 keys for a mere 10k of it is a joke.

Odd that the battlepass boxes don't have previous years' ship designs.

The A-BL ammo in battlepass boxes is just sad. It's a problem with every battlepass. Hear me out. I know Halloween has a trick or treat bonus with the 1 kyhalon/tetrathrin/bifenon in boxes, but A-BL isn't that. It's a wasted key every event throughout the year.

Astral suggestion:
Let us craft a set of XA01 modules every time Astral rankings happen. It sucks that it's locked to seasonal.

Login calendar suggestion:
Change the Red Robo Bat design reward to something else. It's been 5x Red Robo Bat designs since Halloween 2021. This is laziness.

 

The Curcubitor event will spawn curcubitors at the following times:

• Monday - Friday: between 19:00 to 23:00 everyday (4h)

another event that doesn't include the early morning players. some us have no way to play at night, we have real lifes. so to not include us is pretty much tell us we don't matter. always the same thing. i stop paying to play after the server mergers, because of the lost of game perks that happen with no reguard to the time zone transfer. it's about time you fix the issue of not treating the early morning players like they are part of the game.

 

as usual targets are set for botters, who bot 24/7 , try playing the game for once.

 

is the epic deamon drone dign not in the rewards system, cuz i dont see it listed in the FAQ. you know the epic demon status drone desing that gives rocket damage, but has 3 red aura.

 

haven't seen them arounld in years. i did get 10 before they vanished.

 

Chance drop from Delta during bonus weekend 3, and Kuiper during bonus weekend 4.

i mean if you imply the whole thing is for robots that play 24/7 and tell devs to play the game for once... put two and two together?
i also don't get why there is a damage players mission now, is this because of pve server or something? right after galatic strife too...
will i get asked to damage players in the winter bp too? this is getting ridiculous, having to pick my citadel to grind this silly mission while i still have to try to do that 5 hours in BL map which is boring as heck with 2 days remaining for that awful citadel plus design bp to end...

 

yoy can do most 'damage players' missions by dropping direct damage mines on yourself (many times). it also counts for 'let players damage you' missions

Please let us know your feedback in the discussion thread here: Yes man,, i'll give you some feedback, if i ever get play it, endless loading prevents gambling particularly effectively.

 

For starters we can't finish the battlepass doing the gate once a day, and to make matters worse we can't even login now.

• Change the kill 1,700 curb task to something way more doable.
• Makes no sense that JOB ammo isn't involved in the Halloween event, but instead a task for Hitacs...

I don't know why the number of aliens was nerfed in the gate. Make a harder, more rewarding version of the gate for high level players.

 

Although it was three or so years ago now it is still disappointing that the 3 uber sks do not drop the red boxes like they use to.

It is great that I can do the gate more quickly now, but I still feel cheated on rewards when the cheating bots are in ToT twice per day without fail.

I work, I have an awesome career and social life. I must eat, sleep and be merry so I cannot be playing this game so much and doing ToT twice per day - I mention this because the objective of 1,700 Curcubitor will not be done because I cannot do ToT twice per day for the required amount of times to complete the objective. And given that I have not been able to play since Friday 25th because of loading issues because the folk at bp have broken everything with the new pointless server they launched, will the event be extended?

I have not been able to collect my 25th day daily log in either and there is two days left to collect it! Will I get this or will I be missing out on the 1 week of free rebate?

This ToT I am barely averaging 39k uri depending on route taken. It just seems what is left of us non-cheating players get unfairly and collectively punished for the cheating players so we get less rewards while the cheating players are botting the ToT twice per day.

So why am I being unfairly punished with lesser rewards as I do not cheat, I have a higher level of standards of morals and values than the cheating lowlifes?

Although I like being able to do the gate in 40 minutes max;

The three uber sks could have the red boxes reinstated.

The wave of uber BK's as nerfed as they are could still provide greater uri rewards, double or more of their 4-5 normal rate.

The uber sib waves could also have their uri increased like this too.

The uri from such waves, and increasing uri on other aliens could be increased so that us non-cheating players in particular can still earn a decent 50-60k uri from the gate on top of the ammo we get.

But the leftie globalist folks at bp would rather punish non-cheating players for the cheating players because they are too cowardly to properly punish the cheating players because they spend money and will crash the servers if they get a ban - a criminal act that the leftie folks at bp are too cowardly to bring in the cyber crimes unit (police) to deal with.

Objectives are a bit of a let down as per usual. Even just doing this gate just once per day for the whole event then we could have 30-35 objectives and get more rewards, especially pass keys, so more damage to gate aliens, more destroying the bosses and whatever the end alien so long as the objectives are realistic and based on doing the gate once per day.

But as always the folk at bp prove themselves to be so tight they make a 30 year old virgin woman feel like she's pushed out 8 kids while appeasing cheating players.

 

Battle Pass Box collected.
You received 1 SBL-100 laser ammo.

thats a tad expensive

if anything the gate needs a reduce in waves, it takes too damn long.
at least they extended the event and the 1700 curcubitor mission doesn't look that nigh impossible anymore, i hope they don't make up silly stuff for winter event, especially with how the robots can be so accurate in finding synk.

 

gate is unplayable

 

i have been having issues with the gate freezing for 4 to 8 seconds. but it only seems like its me who freezes, so that creates another issue depending on the wave.

 

Please leave your feedback here, why, thank you, I think I will.
I've been playing this game for over a decade. No matter what lasers I have, upgrades, boosters, configs, ships, I can't seem to shoot anywhere near 100k, where people are shooting over 200k+. I shoot the same as I did 10 years ago with uber amounts of upgrades, etc. Having said that, the Terror Tunnel stinks.
It is unnecessarily difficult and long, preventing new players and honest players from completing it in a timely manner, if at all. If you could tame it down like a fewer uber sibs and uber kristillons, that would be a good start. REducing the amount of waves. It wouldn't let me leave the tunnel no matter if I selected the home portal, so I could get a drink or heed nature's call, five minutes was not enough.
Tonight, I have wasted so much expensive ammo trying to get through this. A ton of ammo. The game is freezing, lagging, and at times, the SBL lasers were shooting 10k. 10k. Also, one of the rewards got stuck in background graphics and I couldn't get it.
So far, I've gotten garbage rewards and 2 golden corn things. That's pittance for such an extreme level of difficulty.
And because of lag, the ubers sibs had no trouble hitting me, but my lasers refused to fire. Then the game froze, and of course, they
were still hitting me and destroyed my ship while I was frozen. Again, this wasted all my ammo. And I want that missed reward and that ammo back because of in game issues due to lag and freezing due to the idiot decision to combine servers.
Part of the problem is this server is crowded with unwanted traffic and players that lack integrity. I'm not going back in there.
TL/DR:
Terror tunnel is unnecessarily long and difficult for new and/or honest players, caters to only the top percentile players and magic power players, contains too many uber NPC's. It lags, lasers don't shoot, then freezes and destroys your ship and wastes all your ammo. Rewards get stuck in graphics, can't collect them as pet won't pick up cucu boxes. Rewards are pitiful compared to the extreme difficulty of the gate, and discourages and excludes new players and honest players from completing in a decent time, if at all.
In other words, it stinks. Truly, unbelievably stinks.

Well said and I agree 100%.
I would LOVE to be able to do this gate in 40 minutes, but I've been at it for three hours, and it won't end. So how are you doing
it in 40 minutes?

 

One of the best events imo. The only part that sucks is getting 1700 curbs killed, only bots can do this one... I dont get why people complain about how long the gate takes. Im in there for max 20 minutes, with high shield penetration and RSB ammo. Gives loads of ammo for future events and a decent stack of uri.

Its not so hard.. Get the prometheus lasers from missions and farm the rest in blacklight gate

 

How is it taking you only 20 minutes? It takes me that long to do some waves. Just how are you killing all those Uber sibs and K's which sounds like with one hit? For real? I throw everything I have at it, and the SBL 100 lasers for me are about 90k. It takes approximately five minutes per uber sib and uber K. I have some prometheus lasers. Like I said, no matter what ammo I use, what lasers I use, what configurations I use, what ship I use, what drone formation I use, what boosters I have, or how I have my ship configured, I have NEVER been able to achieve a fire power above 100K, which is going on 10 years.
So if you got a secret weapon I don't know about, please share. Because I'm fed up with hitting like a new player no matter how many upgrades, etc, I do. There's a big problem here if it only takes you 20 minutes, if you're being honest, and me playing it for 3 hours and still not being done. The math ain't mathing here.

PS. The shield penetration DOES NOT work for me on the uber sibs. It never has.

 

it still takes a good while even with 10 prometheus, X4 and RSB or RCB and CC-C, your math ain't mathing

you can group with people to see the alien stats, some of the uber llons have 600,000 hp and sometimes they have full over 1,000,000 hp, using moth works fine on the aliens but some have less shield than health like frightful curcubitor so it might seem like it's useless and they run out shields before hp is at 70%
at the end of the day it's still a chore, you can buy both boosters and have modules but it don't matter, your damage will still not be enough to kill a 2,000,000 hp uber kristallon with one or two shots especially with the shields to tank some of the damage.
