    As good of a time as any to come back to STO and roll a new toon and be ready for Season 9 launch.

    does it not still say weekend in there somewhere ? , how is a week a weekend ?

    This event runs from the 14th to the 21st according to the in game calendar, all previous events lately have started on a Thursday and ended on Monday with them essentially being a weekend event in my opinion

    To prove my growing insanity to myself, I created 3 more characters yesterday. Got them all to level 11 to get the purple bonus Doff. Now I can level them to 50. :D

    And I have removed the possibility of ever creating more because all my 26 slots are filled now. :eek:

    Sweet. Just got my Klingon up to 50. And can start getting my alt levelled up a decent level.


    Also, I've seen people going on about how they lack expertese for fleet projects. This is one way to get lots more. Win win.

    So are we switching now to week long events instead of weekend only events? If so I think this is a good thing or is this event an exception?

    The only reason this is a week-long and not a weekend-long deal is because next Tuesday... scratch that, sometime between next Tuesday and sometime in May, depending on how long the server hamsters can stay afloat, is Season 9, so they're gunning for people wanting to build up their characters so they can participate in the new stuff.

    And on another note, I realize why I hate grinding to level 50: gotta deal with everything. -_-

    I actually hate the experience events. I do not like power leveling my characters. For me, leveling is part of the fun.

    I hear ya. I get to 50 well before I run out of missions, usually within the first few missions of the Cardassian arc, at least as a Fed. And as an altaholic, once I hit 50, it's alt time for me. Not that I don't ever play my 50's again, I do. It's just, well...
    Perhaps if the Reputation aspects of this game made more sense... I might be able to get as much joy from endgame as I do when levelling. Endgame should be MORE fun than levelling.

    /snip

    It bothers me that perhaps it's not that levelling is so much fun, it's that it's preferable to endgame.

    This is just my opinion though...

    Not just your opinion.

    I'm sure there are several thousand others who love the endgame here in STO. Not saying I don't, it's just not where I find the most enjoyment.

    Considering I think leveling is far too fast in STO, and actually wish there was a way to turn XP off, double XP makes me want to play LESS. I actually created a new character for the last double XP event and leveled it in like 3 days of casual play. It went so quick I made another and 3 days later another 50. I don't actually feel much of a "connection" to those alts since neither of them got through the Wasteland (Nimbus III) arc before hitting 50.

    Then again, I know I will use it for the expertise on my 50's, so maybe it's not as bad after all. Double XP means play 50's instead of lowbies? Maybe that's how I should start looking at these events. Hmmm...
    Hello. My name is iamynaught and I am an altaholic.

    Dont worry, it must be another "fail to change title" issue form cryptic.

    Because of course, IT IS NOT A WEEKEND event if its true the info of the title.

    I do not think I need any more xp with over 20 million do you ? , I also know that some have a lot more :rolleyes: .

    how about a bonus dilithium refine event ? :D
    Good thing events aren't focused around just you. I have alts to level.

    your only letting us CHOOSE 4 space and 4 ground and 4 T5 BUT yet with S9 we will have 5 REPS to choose from were's the math in that THERE should a MINIMUM of 5 choices so we may choose 1 from ea if we choose not 4 cause that would mean a WASTE of lvling a whole rep so YOUUUUU PPL need to at LEAST change it all to 5 :mad:

    So, unhappy with my character name, and her only being low level 6 (just did the Pjem mission), I deleted her and recreated her. Go talk to the academy attendant, who is now sitting off to the side of his desk in mid air, and jump up to level 3 instantly. Then jump up to level 5 just for getting a phaser rifle. So now, she's right back to where she was to begin with. This is crazy talk for someone new. Great for alts, but crazy for beginners.

    I created a Klingon today, got her to level 20, and I still haven't gotten one chance to do the full promotion with the chancellor to get a new ship. I'm exactly level 20 on her now, so didn't skip ahead 2 or 3 levels.

    Is this a bug? Have new ships been disabled for level ups in this even for some reason?

    No, there's a mission you gotta do called "Test of Mettle" that enables it for you.

    Ok, I see the problem. I remember getting that on my original Klingon, but thought it was part of the promotion process and not a mission episode. Now I'm at least one ship up, so hopefully I can get my second one, too.

    It was said that it was a bug but they were not going to fix it before event finished not the first time this has happened and not the last just another case of incompetence from the devs.

    Yeah I know but then Smirk said this...
    I will see what can be done come Monday, and believe me, I am pulling for you all to get your reward, because it is on us to fix this. It should not be on the players to miss out on what they were promised.

    So I thought we might get some word on how things turned out.

    There is an entire section of the forums dedicated to fleet recruitment.

    http://sto-forum.perfectworld.com/forumdisplay.php?f=79

    That's the link for the Fed recruitment section.
    Join date is wrong, I've actually been around since STO Beta.

    I am not reading the entire thread so this may have been said.

    But the launcher says "Weekend" and not "Week". It's more days then just the weekend. Rehash the login graphic, Cryptic? I would think except it had the dates too.

    Hey Cryptic, I love you guys but ever heard of rotating events equally? So yeah, thanks for skipping over the Dilithium and FMs events, because no one who plays STO needs that stuff :o

    In all fairness, they did give us an event that gave FM's and dilithium. You just had to grind that mirror event for 2 weeks and you had no choice in what way to earn it. lol

    Just an idea. For the next one could you some how exclude the starter missions for the Rommies. The way it is now it is borking the Rommies ship progression. I am on the first mission after leaving the flotilla and I am already level 10.
