    Thanks to Cryptic this is a nice announcement indeed that can benefit everyone.

    How come the contents of the Phoenix Box never updates? So much stuff people could have missed over the past year aren't even included, like the Bozeman Hyper-Impulse Engines. I'm sorry I can't play EVERY SINGLE DAY to unlock EVERY thing from every event you got going on!

    Nice, this is very helpful.

    Now that I have a stack of Phoenix Upgrades.. can we please get an upgrade weekend soon? :wink:

    But it WAS updated last cycle. They seem to wait about a year to add old event items that are no longer claimable via events.

    I have all the ships in the Epic Token Category as I played the Events for them but due to the horrific drop rates for these tokens and the fact the ships were free giveaways for a couple mins a day of time over 30 days, can you make them account unlocks for the poor souls who missed those Events or didn't start playing until recently ?.


    660 boxes opened today and 2 Epics and 1 Ultra rare. However I was opening them for the most valuable commodity and that's the upgrade tokens.

    Hello rubber banding my old friend, time to bounce around the battlezone again, where are all my bug reports going?, out of love with this game I am falling, As Cryptic fail to acknowledge a problem exists, Shakes an angry fist, And from Support all I'm hearing are the sounds of silence.

    Can't believe I'm the first to say 'But again no I.S.S. Stadi?'...it's pretty much the only thing that most of my new character need, and you've added everything prior and almost everything after it's release. Was hoping after all the 'We want the Stadi' posts last time it would be in the next (this) offering...
  • jcswwjcsww Member Posts: 6,789 Arc User
    These are something that are very useful! Why aren't these available all year round, including the free one daily from Drozana?
  • anodynesanodynes Member Posts: 1,999 Arc User
    Is anyone actually seeing the Crystalline Radiation Projector (Tholian Assault weapon in the box in the Reclaim tab for those who've earned it) in the very rare section, because I'm sure not seeing it.

    I'll echo this. I think it's just an error that it isn't in there yet, and didn't say anything before this since there appear to be no additions since last time, but it definitely should be in there.
    This is an MMO, not a Star Trek episode simulator. That would make for a terrible game.
  • ltminnsltminns Member Posts: 12,569 Arc User
    The last time, they added stuff. For a long time before that they had not. It is not an accident that the ISS Stadi is not in there, it is deliberate. They've had plenty of opportunities to do so in the past.

    Ask yourself this, "Why would they leave it out, yet give everyone the Sally Ride, which is a Science ship with a Science boost to every other ship slotted with it, something that people have been begging for, for free in perpetuity?"

    Doesn't make a lot of sense, does it?

    Updating the contents is obviously not a priority anymore, since they took almost a year to do it last time, Only 1 update since the rule of thumb year past original offer came up means 1 opportunity to add it.

    Stop taking errors as personal attacks.

    You are sadly mistaken. I am not taking anything as a personal attack, I have the card on numerous Characters.

    There are two Epic Ships and three Items that were introduced after the Stadi that are in the Phoenix Store. The Stadi has been asked for in the Forums numerous times so it is not a surprise to them.

    The Sally Ride was added because of an external 'Event'. Actually, now that I think of it the Assimilated Assault Cruiser from First Contact Day 2016 and older is not in the Store.

    That these may make a reappearance in game as rewards may explain their not being included in the Store at this stage.

    It appears that if you're going to convert dil to Zen, the time to do it is after the service sale ends during this event as the exchange rate will inevitably drop.

    Why is this mission still bugged?
    Last time, it forced me to go to Drozana to collect the box, even though the text states I could get it at Deep Space Nine, where I acquired the mission!

    I tried twice on two seperate days to claim the free Prize box, only for Oona (DS9) to refuse to hand it over.
    Since I'm not interested in going all the way to Drozana when I should be able to claim the box from where I am currently standing, I'm not going to bother with this mission anymore.

    The Blog announcement clearly states there is still a problem with DS9.

    Where does it say there is a problem with Deep Space Nine?
    I didn't see that anywhere.

    This is the only time it mentions Deep Space Nine:
    This daily account prize may be claimed by visiting either Grym on Drozana Station, or Onna at Deep Space Nine.

    My mistake it was on Twitter.


    @trekonlinegame: Looks like Onna on DS9 is still being stingy woth those Phoenix Prize Packs. Head to Drozana for now, we'll get Rom to remind her of her responsibilities.

    Apparently there's an actual mission objective to go to Drozana. Once you've done that, you can turn in the mission at DS9 if you wish.... not that I think anyone would bother.

    I knew it! She's stealing all the Phoenix Prize boxes and selling them on the Ferengi Hidden Market!

    @markhawkman
    Yeah, if I bothered to go all the way to Drozana, I'd just claim the prize there and not need to return to DS9 to do so.
    Mostly what I'm annoyed about is being forced to visit the troller headquarters instead of staying in the relatively drama free DS9 hub.
    That's why I skipped it this time around, if Cryptic can't be bothered making sure the mission works as advertised, I don't care to do it.

    Tanius and Stadi are rewards on events that took place in same year 2016. I have participated with my main toons but as i said want and need them on my other toons also. Please add them to phoenix box. Thanks.

    Is parking an alt (with chat tweaked to mute set channels) at drozana for the duration of the event really that difficult?

    IDK, but I think services sale has less to do with it than the XP weekend and general glut of Dil-rewarding events we had. We'll see if this whole "irresistible force meets immovable object" situation will go on tomorrow...

    The Tanius is already included in the Phoenix Box I believe. Its the Stadi that isn't yet as far as I recall.

    Sometimes even being there is bad enough.
    Case in point, I'm still getting spammed with goldseller mails because I visited ESD for 5 minutes when the game first launched and someone recorded my handle.

    report spam all of them. That's what I do. Yes it's like playing whack-a-mole.

    I've found that kind of thing only happens if I've spoken in zone chat.

    For the likes of drozana and grym you can be in and out pretty quickly so it'd have to be a dedicated spammer to catch your @handle if the sole purpose of the visit was to snag a box and open later once the events over.

    Glad the event is back! I am wondering though, is the cooldown 20 hrs or 24?
