Cool to see Delta come back.

I have 5 characters i am not gonna start more just to make delta recruits, There should be a way to let the already existing characters be delta recruits, so i dont have to start over. Takes too long to start over with new chars just for delta recruit prizes. Limitations and such like this makes me regret the fact that i paid for a lifetime membership!

It's great to see Delta recruits return for players who did not get to participate or did not make a char for each faction. Though I am very disappointed to see that Dyson battlezone isn't getting fixed in this patch. Kinda worries me that this is going to be forgotten like Defera

Maybe I'll actually finish Delta Recruitment stuff this time, If I'm gonna roll a new character.

BUT did they fix the DANCE that goes with it???? Wait a min....is that the one with the dance???
What is the one with the dance??

Nerve Tonic.
And they did say something about fixing some animations...

arionisa

Drats, no open character slots......

Oh well, I accidentally deleted two of my three Delta recruits before they had finished everything (due to the Delta recruit thing not showing up in the character selection screen), so, I just delete a couple of my least used toons and start a couple new Deltas. Been killing me to have one Delta faction completed with the other two only half finished, with no way to complete them.

Thank you for bringing Delta recruit back. And for me, even as a LTS, I got what I paid for when I bought it, I don't expect my LTS status to somehow now get me given even more stuff that others have to work for.

Kael,
Can you inform the Devs that the Voth BZ is FUBAR and requires their immediate attention?
It's like playing in the Twilight Zone.
No, it's not a fun Twilight Zone either.

I find it odd that the Delta recruit event returning wasn't advertised, and I also wonder if the Temporal Agent event will return from May 17th - launch of ViL or if this is just a one off rerun.

I doubt that there will be a rerun of Temporal Agent event after this. If it ran for 4 weeks, it would run during the Spring 3-week event and the first week of Lohlunat. The schedule is just too packed right through then. Going by this rerun, we might see a Temporal rerun next July or so.

This is awesome. Thanks for reviving the event as I missed out the first time around. I guess me being a collector I can finally pick up some of those unique rewards that were missed.

Delta Recruit Trait: Earn additional Dilithium Ore with each NPC defeated. Teammates also gain this benefit. ** Note: Trait only active during Delta Recruitment Event.
Starship Trait: "Temporal Insight" When activating a Hull Heal on self, gain 2sec of Damage Immunity (max once per 45sec)
Starship Trait: "Improved Temporal Insight" When activating a Hull Heal on self, gain 4sec of Damage Immunity (max once per 45sec) ALSO: Photonic Engineering Bridge Officer Candidate (fully customizable!)
Ground Device: "Paradox Corrector" Team-Wide Heal + Rez. Can be used while Defeated. 10min CD
Space Device: "Temporal Negotiator" Instantly reduce all Bridge Officer Cooldowns by 50%. 5min CD

At the same time this is gong to suck as now i have to burn thought about 100-200hrs to get me toon up to lvl60/65 and then max out all the other aspects of the toon.

I came here for this, I spend almost half my game time in Dyson ground BZ, not because it is a good farm, but I actually love the zone.

it has gotten ridiculous, I mean I do not need my away team, to complete stuff, but, many other players need their away team, to complete the missions there. on top of the away team glitch, even the NPC have their escorts not following them, like the General, ( he walks around solo now ) and mechs, are stuck on elements on the map, for example, the Omega rails. I even spawned on top the transporter arc thing once.

badgerpants999

I'm wondering if the XP boost improvements will apply to the timed boosts. I've got several of the 1 hour and 8 hour boosts just sitting on a toon, If they're now 50% it'll really improve levelling with those toons

salvation4

Finally the delta recruit..When I returned in late april 2016 I had missed the first time round event and got the Trmoral operative done..I have been hearing good things about things you get from the delta recruit..Am I wrong, please correct me..I will finally roll a tactical toon and see how it goes..1-60 should be quick..Overall good line up till ViL..

-No sign on the issue about the rogue on demand patching..
-No sign of the issue of overlapping voice overs especially in te neqw missions..

Uh another off patch question..What the heck is the reward from the upcoming Kobiyashi Maru event?!

dukedom01

does the 20% to 50% xp increase include the legacy 1/8 hour skill boni? I 'still' have a couple of them stashed away.

captaincelestial

I returned after my one of my hiatuses from computing on the tail-end of Delta Rising/Recruit. I was 'This Close' to making a Ferengi Delta Recruit (made enough to cover the three factions, mostly on the Fed side).

I think I'll delete my Ferengi that I ended up making to 'reroll' him as a DR. Since he's already 60th level, it's a 'To delete, or not to delete? That is the question', kind of thing.

What's the best way of transferring refined/unrefined Dilithium to other characters on your account, or is it best to just try to exchange it for Zen?

I hope if they do rerun the AoY Temporal Agent event, it would run concurrently with an equivalent Temporal Agent event for the Klingon and Romulan factions (where you get to start as in the role as adversaries like in the ToS era)..... Great chance to add equivalent ship packs to the Klingons and Romulans.

To transfer refined dil, you can put dil up on the exchange for really low prices that nobody would buy, then swap between characters. Depending on how many pylons you have, you can have 5 different posts on the dil exchange at a time before you have to consolidate, then put the bigger amount up and continue.

As for unrefined dil, see previous paragraph. You have to refine first on those with a stash, then funnel that refined amount to whichever toon.. There's no hopping unrefined pink rock around between toons.

Also, I missed out on the DR recruiting event as well. Snagged the AoY Temporal one, will be making a Delta Recruit pylon as an account/resource generator like my AoY toon is(I despise playing blueside).

avoozuul

I wish I could make some of my existing toons delta recruits, I bought 4 slots days ago but now I have already made two level 60 toons with them. I have no idea what kind of toons I want for the remaining two slots either.

nebfab

Wow, that's great, missed the original Delta event and always wondered if there would be a second shot at making Recruits...

fleetcaptain5

I am also surprised they didn't advertise the rerun of the Delta event. But this is great news nevertheless, I don't have a Delta toon on this new account so I'm very happy they've decided to give us this opportunity again.

It's also good to see XP boosts being made a bit more useful. They're still rather expensive in the C-store, but it could make levelling a new toon a bit easier. I might just have become interested in buying some of these in the future.

In case anyone is unaware of what's broken, here's a reference:

Thank you so much for bringing DR back! Now I can roll one on my F2P acct. I only made a fed DR on my lifer, didn't feel the need to roll one for each faction. Maybe on the F2P I'll roll a different faction DR.

sthe91

Thankfully, I already did the DR event. So I will not participate, I will instead continue to proceed through the missions with my Temporal Agent, and finish them off in that regard. Also, glad for the fixes. But please fix the lag that comes with refining Dilithium, this tends to happen in space. Thanks.

It isn't though.

It is, though.

iamynaught

Delta Recruits return? Excellent. But I can't remember, I need to make one of each faction to get all the rewards, correct?

Not a big deal since I am an altaholic and actually ENJOY leveling new characters... to a point.

I do wonder now though, will there be a sale of some sort on character slots? I hope so since I'll need to buy some more on my other account.
