@DarthDragonborn @AmbassadorKael Dude, climb down off the crybaby, angry at Cryptic, neanderthal mindset. They can't just wave a magic wand and discover out of the ether where a small percentage of players live to narrow down the issue, hence why Kael is trying to gather information here

@AmbassadorKael There are ways to handle this on the players end. However it does get to a point where the issue isnt on the players end. As this sort of issue has happened in the past where players could not log back in at all due to launcher issues.

If you're having trouble connecting to Cryptic games since this morning's patch, can you let me know: 1) Where you live (roughly is fine. :) ) 2) Your ISP 3) Your operating system Trying to find a link.

@ODST_Parker @trekonlinegame They said that themselves in a ten forward after it appeared in game. It's not like this is difficult to put together, Cryptic like money, Borg ship bring money.

@trekonlinegame There it is... playable Borg ships. How many years ago was it when we all knew this was an impossibility? Someone called it dead on when the newest missions included this ship. It was partly because it needed to replace the Cube, and partly for player control.

@westindiesboyz @trekonlinegame Lobi store ships are dead and gone. It's not worth the time investment vs the return for them compared to something like say, oh, the Shrike in a promo pack where people were winning the pack 20+ times an hour when dropped.

For the next 48 hours on PC, you'll save 25% on Infinity R&D Packs and Duty Officer Packs, which currently have a chance to grant you a T6 Promo Ship, including the brand-new Shrike Intel Juggernaut! playstartrekonline.com/en/news/articl…

@Obso1eteRealism @Stu1701 @trekonlinegame Did you open them all on the same character? There's a pity system in place but it is a per character & per lockbox basis. If so that's some hella bad RNG cuz I popped 3 within 250 keys

@Stu1701 @trekonlinegame They've needed an overhaul for years including but not limited to droprate(s). Past 2 days I've sunk just over 600 keys into protostar box and no t6! Also, they need to make Phoenix T6 acct-wide.

I discovered tonight that in the Infinity weapon packs, Vaadwaur Polaron weapons don't let you pick between Beams, Cannons, and Ground weapons like most other variants do. Weird inconsistencies like these one of the several reasons @trekonlinegame's lockboxes need an overhaul.

@deavon_paul @greyspectre2100 @trekonlinegame Eh, I got way more money than I know what to do with at this point. Worked hard, invested harder so now I got about $3k of hobby money to blow a month on various things before I need to get authorization from the Mrs to spend more so I say "why not?"

@_MarkRussell_ @greyspectre2100 @trekonlinegame ..and this is why this continues to happen and is becoming worse. I used to go big in STO. About a hundred a month or so. What sort of value are you getting back these days? I'm curious. Three or so episodes a year? Shrinking player base to flex on? Is the value still there?

@DarthDragonborn @AmbassadorKael Hahahaha, Connie variant to the C-Store as a regular ship.. that'll be the day. Unfortunately, they will want to monitize the fuck out of a Shangri-La. I know I'd pay lockbox price for that, hell, I'd pay double lockbox price for it.

We're switching things up on the streaming front a little bit - it makes more sense to have a NW stream today, launch day, and it makes more sense to do an STO stream next week so we can announce a ship you'll all be excited for. So we're doing that. :)

@AlyssaD1776 @trekonlinegame Won't happen. The real money is in lockbox/promo sales and they've said time after time that KDF/Rom ships just don't sell as well as their Fed equivalent because the majority of the playerbase is Fed people playing to be Federation.

@trekonlinegame Can you all lay off the lock box ships for a bit and give the Klingons and Romulans some C-Store ship love. We haven't had a new design of either (only legendary reskins) in just about 3 years.

@Lexers5 @trekonlinegame There will most likely be no compensation. The event itself could still be progressed, it was just the Dil reward that was down. They usually only compensate or extend it the actual event progress was stunted for some reason. 🤷‍♂️ is what it is, was only a day or two

@deavon_paul @greyspectre2100 @trekonlinegame Anyone with the license will do some form of macro transaction content. People need to get paid and companies want big gamer money. It's obvious the cash is there, hell, I drop a hard $1000 USD if there's something I want 🤷‍♂️

@greyspectre2100 @trekonlinegame I've been there. Considering where this game come from to where we are now it's plain Cryptic we're and still are not the best stewards of this license, despite the passion and talent of some of their staff.

@JrodBlueBE @trekonlinegame They could have, but weren't going to. Where's the money in that? They already got your cash once now they're hunting other people's cash. Hell, I bought two of these bundles today just for the deflector + new traits 🤷‍♂️

@Ginger_Trekkie @trekonlinegame 🤣🤣 yea, they'll just give away the skin which is one of the primary selling points of these legendary bundles. What do you think Cryptic is, player friendly?

@RickVic2 @trekonlinegame It wasn't meant to be slotted in the visual slot, the visual they spoke of in the blog was just the orange hexagonal shield bubble which the current vanity slot doesn't support, it only supports hull visual changes. The prodigy vanity shield drops from prodigy box weapon packs

@Tumerboy All of that work for a game many despise due to its increasingly aggressive monetization schemes. I mean, you do a good job, but your employers should be ashamed of turning the game into what it is today… a complete shadow of its original self.
