DIS Terran Uniforms are going to be Lockbox?

kellmg96#5851 kellmg96 Member Posts: 858 Arc User
During tonight's twitch stream, everytime it was brought up, Kael talked about the next lockbox, The Emperors/Terran Lockbox.

If true, this is truly disappointing. I dont have the money, nor know how to work the dil/zen balance enough to get keys to buy well enough to do it that way.

Please Cryptic, make it Zen Store.

    infinity boxes buy low sell hight, fill your bank with those boxes when they are on dill. store. and sell them when they are gone.
    have you accumulate a lot of fc ? buy purple officers with those from fleet base and sell them on the exc.
    buy 10 or 20 keys. sell them on the exc. and buy from there the outfit box ...

    It is the C-Store not the Zen Store. C for Cryptic even with the zen currency. Thanks. :)

    I'm thinking its going to be in the lobistore they always put oufits in the lobistore from what we have seen over the years so I don't expect that to change. I am hoping its zen store. But more then likely they will use the greed factor and desire for those outfits and make them lobi outfits like they did the 25th century Terran outfits. So players will open up lockboxes for the lobi to buy the outfits. I really am hoping they are not going to do this. But given what they have done in the past count on it if they are going to be released alongside a lockbox. I'm just hoping these Terran Outfits will be Crossfaction and not starfleet only.

    well, on bright side there is a good chance the lesser prizes from the lockbox will be dirt cheap from everyone opening boxs for lobi.


    if I stop posting it doesn't make you right it. just means I don't have enough rum to continue interacting with you.

    I for one think they should be Zen Store. They have the terran tos outfits in zen store and they are an official show outfit. These discovery Terran outfits are official show outfits that were worn even by the prime discovery crew as means to blend in with the terran universe. This should be enough reason to release them as a C-store outfit unlock. But if they are going on about the new lockbox that tells me its going to be a lobi outfit I am really hoping I'm wrong on this and they will have consideration for once releasing a new outfit in the zenstore. Instead of adding it in with Lockbox lobi gate. Meaning the outfit can only be unlocked on one character and not for all of them.

    I have no problem with Terran Empire uniforms being lockbox or lobi. Almost all enemy faction clothes are. But I don't dare look forward to them, since they'll probably just be Fed-locked yet again. :disappointed:

    Because the Terran Empire is a member of the Federation, yes? :p

    No, but they are representative of an Empire that beleives in Human superiority.......
    So? All the enemy factions believe in their own superiority.

    Disco uniforms were free for a while to promote some buzz.

    Danger of these being gamblebox would be the set gets split into parts and given different % chance to drop or they become another victim of the idiotic chance of a chance approach used with cosmetic shields.

    Usually five days of free giveaways every Anniversary. Maybe.

    Lobi Store but not C-Store. When was the last time they added clothes there?

    If they go to a Lockbox you have yourselves to blame, drooling all over the place asking for them. It could be worse. It could go to the Dilitium Store for the discount price of 2,000,000 Dilitium per Character. Another case of drooling requests.

    The only ones that can afford that for multiple Characters are those complaining about the Dilitium Cap of 10,000,000.

    I bought my Kelvin Timeline Klingon Regalia outfit in the Lobi store just for the blinged-out Klingon ridges.

    So, yeah, I will buy keys to open boxes for Lobi....if the Klingon outfits end up in the Lobi Store. And depending on the item I may even buy for multiple Klingons (though probably not for the Ferasan or Orion or Lethean).

    THIS is actually worth learning... you should talk with my Armada Leader...he excels at it.

    If so, the unlock token will probably be on the Exchange for credits. Anyone can pile up credits with endeavors and admiralty. And dil can be converted to more credits by dil > zen > keys > credits.

    No surprise that it's a lobi costume. The mirror Jupiter and mirror odyssey uniforms are both in the lobi store. The mirror TOS stuff is c-store but that's from back before the lock box/lobi days.
    When you see "TRIBBLE" in my posts, it's because I manually typed "TRIBBLE" and censored myself.

    Or, you know, you could just gather EC and buy them off the exchange. Since lockbox & lobi store things can be sold there.

    No need to spend zen, or learn to "work" the Zen/Dil exchange.

    He can, but....it is good to learn how to make coins in this game.
    It is very useful info.

    There was a very good reason that the Mirror Jupiter and Mirror Odyssey Uniforms were Lobi - Leeta's Hotpants. ;)

    Three outcomes that are likely to happen....Lock Box, Lobi, or the less likely of the three is perhaps it will cost a million dilithium like a few of the other rare outfits like the Enterprise MACO or Khan excursion jacket.

    There hasn't been a single Terran item on the C-Store since they released the TOS and Enterprise Terran uniforms long long ago.

    maybe its time?......

    They know people are going to want it...a LOT...and it isn't a generic faction item...so odds are they're going to go the gamble box route.
  • ltminnsltminns Member Posts: 12,569 Arc User
    Everyone continue to slobber and it will never be free or C-Store. :)

    Reverse psychology. 'I really hope they won't release it as an Anniversary Gift Account Unlock for a limited time then add to the Phoenix Store'.

    Damn typical if they release it as a damn Lobi store items.... Probably the real reason why we don't have the I.S.S. prefix. To sell more MU lobi ships...

    Lobi is the logical action… and i'm ok with that… love that could be free for a time, but revenue is what keeps the lights on, and i'm ok with that..

    Jem'Hadar Tactical Uniform, like every uniform included in an expansion mega pack, is also available a la carte. In fact, with just a single exception, every new outfit made available for purchase with Zen in the C-store since August 2012 has been part of one of these packs. The exception was the TNG Romulan uniform, which I suspect was being held back as an additional pot sweetener for the Legacy Pack, but that orders didn't merit another, so they held it back for about 6 weeks and sold it separately.
    This is an MMO, not a Star Trek episode simulator. That would make for a terrible game.
