I Have A Plea Dyson Ships

brew8brew8 Member Posts: 16 Arc User
Ok I found out days ago about the new Dyson Destroyer Ships On C-Store to get the rest of the Dyson Destroyer Set Universial Consoles, and I must say I am upset and disturbed on the road this game is taking. I well try to be calm and post this in a mature manor, if it sounds this is not case I apologize and let you know this is being expressed calm.

I would like to express my reason why this is disturbing, one this is supose to be a time to say thanks to all the players for playing yet it feels like you turn around and say thanks here you go but in return we want your money, I understand this game needs cash to keep going and running I have given what I can buying zen, but this is like saying heres your part of what you need and by the way were going to TRIBBLE over those that cant fork over $50.00. To me this is showing the road this game is taking from once being we love your costumers and want to keep them happy with making a good game to all the 99.9% games out there "We Want Your money, and dont care about you or your happynes with your product." These are just my opions and belife they well not be same as others.

Here is my Plea/Suggestion, instead of selling the ships (My opion are not that great) to just selling the consoles as a pack, between $15-$25 then I would say ok they need cash but there not a greedy corpiration out for your money and care about there product.

I know many well troll this post and make stupid comments and all i have to say is God Bless you anyway and hope you grow up a little faster.

    The last sentence was a briiliant idea. Insulting other players in advance what they will do is very smart.

    Anyway, why would you suggest to Cryptic not to sell ships just because you don't find them so great and just selling the consoles?

    Check on how economy works in a F2P business, check on what outgoings companys have or start your own business. Then you ll learn how creedy companys really have to be to survive. Personal and rent outgoings are the highest.

    I only read from you I will, I want, I think, I would like, I am upset, i know...

    You are not alone here, there are enough players to say otherwise.

    My suggestion: Grow up yourself, Peter Pan

    They are "TRIBBLE" no one over. I have bought in my time exactly 500 zen and that was only to get the last 500 I needed for a ship in the days when the dil exchange was 250-300 to the c-point. There I mentioned it the dilithium exchange. If you don't have the money there is an ingame system to get the zen, that only requires grind.

    Since then I have bought bank spaces, BOFF spaces, DOFF slots, character slots, the Vesta pack, EC cap extension and I am saving up for another ship/3 pack as I haven't quite decided to go with one or the other. Yet I have not spent a single penny (sterling) since that first 500 zen.

    The anniversary ship is a tester and a teaser. It was the same with the Oddy during the second anniversary, before they released the three pack for that as well, and the KDF version. It is not a "thank you" to the players. Now if you want the rest of the gear you need to buy the ships, which are better than the anniversary one any way in BOFF layout and console slots.

    Outside of the conspicuous grind to get it this time around (a questionable move if you ask me, I still think they could have given the ship away in one pass and made us grind out the parts), it is thanking us for playing...

    However, more in the vein of a good friend, since Cryptic sure ain't our family, they aren't giving the best stuff away for free.

    And, if you pay attention, all the "other" non-equinox event ships are the same way. 3rd Anniversary Ambassador/Kamarag? Fleet version behind pay gate of fleet modules. Heck, as of right now, even the basic T5 version is "gated" like the Oddy/Bort... Obelisk Carrier from the S8 launch? Even worse as it's final component is locked in the Lobi store...

    And for the record, look at the "equinox event" ships - JHAS, Breen Cruiser, Breen Raider, Risian Corvette. All released at 10 console fleet level (or, in JHAS case, raised there with the introduction of Fleet ships). Which is why I say what I say about one-timing the ship and grinding the parts...
    Detecting big-time "anti-old-school" bias here. NX? Lobi. TOS/TMP Connie? Super-promotion-box. (aka the two hardest ways to get ships) Excelsior & all 3 TNG "big hero" ships? C-Store. Please Equalize...

    The thing that really irked me about this year's anniversary event was the grind to get the ships. They were supposed to be a "Thanks for giving us your cash to make this game financially viable for 4 years," and instead it was, "thanks, go run a stupid mission on every character 15 times, but you only have 25 days to do it... oh, and by the way the set won't be complete unless you drop $100 on the C-store versions. So... yeah, 'thanks.' Now go grind -AND- drop some cash and shut the h*ll up."

    I don't mind grinds for events, I don't mind paying for things. But if you're looking to say "thanks," just give me the d*mn ship. And if you want me to pay, fine, but at least let me have the complete set, don't make me do a time-gated grind on every toon.

    You just described most of the higher ups in Cryptic/PWE. Even if the devs wanted to, they are at the mercy of the morons actually running the company who could care less about the playerbase (of which i am not entirely sure sometimes that the devs do either)
