Next FE Rerun - Why so short?

mrspidey2mrspidey2 Member Posts: 959 Arc User
What the title says.

I've noticed the calendar showing a 12 day FE rerun starting May 16th. This seems rather short, compared to the last one. Last year you could get up to 500 Lobi if you ran one of the FE missions each day. This time, with only 12 days, its 180 Lobi at maximum.

I'd like to hear Cryptic's reasoning for the change.

    My guess would be lost income from lottery boxes.
    Don't look silly... Don't call it the "Z-Store/Zen Store"...
    Let me put the rumors to rest: it's definitely still the C-Store (Cryptic Store) It just takes ZEN.

    Probably because a bunch of us just ran Spin the Wheel once a day for that 500 Lobi. That's next to no effort for a whole lot of Lobi.

    That or the Summer Event will be rolling around pretty soon, so it's being cut short.

    But it's probably that.

    i doubt it and i highly doubt it's from the lack of lockbox resource spending due to the fact the undine lockbox are a hit from the amount of ship winner spam i see on my screen lol.

    doubt it, more likely the last event at 500 lobi was perhaps more then they intended and brought it into line, considering what they have done with the rep grinds recently and fixing other things that would of given an advantage once in the past, it fits the available information presented by the devs in 1st hand observations.

    my guess would be it was deliberately reduced this time around due to the exploiting people were doing last time

    now, obviously i can't say exactly what it was, but the ones that did do it were literally DROWNING in EC by the end of it
    Like special weapons from other Star Trek games? Wondering if they can be replicated in STO even a little bit? Check this out: https://forum.arcgames.com/startrekonline/discussion/1262277/a-mostly-comprehensive-guide-to-star-trek-videogame-special-weapons-and-their-sto-equivalents

    That means the next lockbox will be even more op. Btw, look in the mirror, and you'll see the last sto player who haven't yet disabled screen spam.;)

    Do we even know if were getting the same amount of lobi per day?
    I mean it could be a shorter event, but more lobi per day resulting in the same pay out.

    If not i'm going to be really sad. :(
