Finally! Sadly a lot of people going into these are really not setup properly. For example the most egregious experience was last night when we got the Rommie mine mission. One of my teammates has more than half a dozen injuries on load - WTF? Another was clearly way undergear as it seemed he was doing no damage despite…

There is the rub. The entire Free to Play (F2P) paradigm is founded on the notion of microtransactions which traditionally is $1-$10 and a particular item was guaranteed. Instead now we get RNG gamblebox hell and several hundred dollar transactions as standard for something the company says has no value and we dont really…
-
Unfortunately such financial instruments are unavailable for me.
-
I usually do as well except for when I want to support the game by spending money which I don't do more than monthly normally but it is nearly always several hundred dollars at a pop.
-
Update: A 20% bonus is now showing. It is not nearly as much as on Arc but it is something and appreciated. Also in fairness last month they did offer the same bonus on Steam for the sale albeit a tad late. Nonetheless the CS was nice enough to credit me the bonus a day later.
-
No doubt. It is bad enough the basic charge bonus is not included in the first place but no sale bonus either sucks. One has to wonder what the point is in linking the account or playing it via Steam in the first place.
-
Sadly I can not. Paypal wont let me use my local bank with my account and neither will Arc. I get money into Steam via gift cards but no one here sells Cryptic points for obvious reasons. I really dont have a choice sadly. No doubt. Well it is supposed to be independent now since it was purchased again so lets see how…
-
I know it has something to do with the margin paid to Steam as well as promoting a proprietary platform. Nonetheless that cost ought not be passed on to the customer in my opinion. All options should be treated the same in terms of player value especially so given the extremely high dollar cost for "microtransactions" in…

Still waiting for action...

Staff monitor the threads here otherwise it would be moot to ask people to post here for issues. I dont necessarily agree with the methodology since PWE took over Cryptic but that is not my call. Nonetheless several staff ought to be monitoring the threads in this forum.
-
Any Cryptic people here? Pointless to tell us create posts here and no one responds.
-
Really? A lockout for something you purchased on top of the BS account lock if you accidently opened the damn box without realizing they had such a stupid mechanic for expensive stuff.
-
Damn! It seems Cryptic is going to get me for $2,000 this quarter. With that said, I really wish Cryptic would stop locking things for several days after I spend big money in the Zen shop. It really is highly vexing. I'll get the Mega Pack despite having half the ships on my primary toon. The account wide unlock is great…
-
Some nice updates! The graphic enhancements are really sweet. The bonus to the rep sets is a nice little bone and the dual Starship traits for Mastery is seriously solid; especially for those without the cash to buy lots of ships real money or in game. There are several other small but spiffy touches I have noticed.
-
Some sage insight posted here from some serious players... Great stuff for newbs.
-
You are correct. I now have a lot of bonus FC in my pool. I guess this is a none issues. Thanks for the information. Nonetheless it does not explain why the finished mission does not show in my list however. Anyway, It is not a big deal it does not show but the code should be fixed as it may lead to other issues in the…

I did not see the System message about the reward nor did I see the dilithium increase prior to clicking on the confirmation button. The image is from the Cryptic support server as you can see from the URL. I dont have a public file server and they should allow us to upload images directly to threads here but they do not.…

Noted... I purchased the Mirror bundle for the uniforms for my Rommie but I only see the top as an option. On a side note, I dont know about other people but I always hope the tailer system would get a rework as it is very cumbersome and inefficient when it comes classification and items but maybe it is just me.
-
I stand corrected then.
-
Hmm... Never thought about that. It somehow does not seem worth the effort to me when two or three fast daily missions would get the same methinks but maybe I'm just not smart enough to thing nefariously I guess. I usually buy dilithium if I want a lot for Phoenix box binges.
-
After communicating with GM Ehdione a couple times the issues seems to have been resolved with the update. Thanks for the support!
-
While I love the Steam fix. I'm still waiting for the bonus Zen to be applied that is given via Arc for purchases. After all it is not like the Zen has an intrinsic cost to Cryptic and would go a long way is making people less cheated that can not use Arc for purchases. Anyway, on a completely different topic, I love the…
-
First off, semantics obviously. If you feel better how about: show it to her. I understand that to start the mission as you must have the claim item/element/thing whatever in your inventory. I believe talking her initiates the mission showing the "go to Rich Dilithuim Vein" option to show. Then teleport to the Agent to…
-
Another day no support.... Amazing... This is why F2P sucks so bad and I hope one day it is made illegal because of such unaccountable system like using these forms for CS since the Cryptic acquisition by PWE and of course the gamble box mechanic and lack of proper and accurate statistical reporting requirements and other…
-
Still waiting for a response. Some of my toons have been stuck for going on a year! What steps do you think are involved in not being able to give a claim ticket to the agent? Did I use the syntax format with my sentences previously? How is this: 1. Give the claim to Isihl 2. Go to the FDMAA Agent 3. Try to give the ticket…
-
Still waiting for CS to resolve the issue again. Last time I was told it was likely because of Rommie toons but I have the same issue on nearly all my toons as you can see from the first post and most are not Rommie.
-
Yes in the Support forum. Someone responded asking for a precise description just like previously. Anyway, they need to go into the account and remove the mission since it cant not be dropped now. They have done it numerous times previously. Regarding the other aspect of your comment, this is why I loathe the whole F2P BS…
-
I've been waiting YEARS for the Rich Dilithium bug to be fixed and MONTHS for my toons to be reset! WTF happened to support? I just spent SEVERAL hundred dollars again STO why do you not have a more responsive support system after all this time of going F2P?
-
Help? :/ At least delete the missions for me since I can not remove them anymore for some reason.

Delete me
