I have been upgrading my ship equipment on all 6 of my toons and thought it would be a great idea to start with my mk12 fleet vulnerability tactical consoles. I saw that the mk13s increased my critical chance from 1.6% per console to 1.7% and increased energy type damage to 33.8%.
Approximately 120,000 dilithium later, I thought it was a rather expensive exercise, but that it would be worth it...
So, you can imagine my **delight** when i discovered that on 3 of my toons, my total critical chance score had actually *DECREASED*!!
Cryptic, I really really hope you get this one sorted out quickly. I can't imagine people wanting to pay more to you to actually make themselves weaker.
I have loved this game for a long time and have persevered through some of short comings and lack of insight on behalf or the Developers and the Management. That being said I am seriously contemplating selling my Account that has Lobi store ships and a few very desirable vessels with of course Elite Fleet Gear, what bothers me is the fact that there are many features that need fixing in the game, and these are very old issues that go on ignored whilst the Execs forge ahead with only greed on the agenda! All this has made me conclude that the joyful spirit of this game with its team orientated atmosphere, will be turned into fewer in game guilds and less time focusing on Star Base research and more about personal player grinding to build one or many characters (which at the current devised system for Upgrading gear is going to be time consuming and costly).
This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.
Well, I have to congratulate you Cryptic on another slapdash patch. This time you have outdone yourselves. Countless mistakes.
I am sure the day is coming when the straw breaks the camel's back for me.
Yep, they are now taking dilitium/zen out of my pocket with some buggs...
Don't understand what cryptic was thinking putting a system thats not ready yet in the game that use dilitium/zen, or was it:
Once you have their money ... never give it back.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard: "We think we've come so far. Torture of heretics, burning of witches, it's all ancient history. Then - before you can blink an eye - suddenly it threatens to start all over again."

The upgrade system ate my Jemmy Poloron rifle! I didn't have enough upgrades for it and I figured "Oh it will stay in the slot until I make more" cause that's what it did o Tribble. Nope, logged on this morning and it was gone.
And is it get the set once then you can't get anything until the next one's released or ....
A Trill, a Gorn, a Jem'Hadar, Bejoran and a Voth walk into a bar, and the Bartender asks "What is this a Joke?"
"Nope, just my away team" the trill replies before ordering a round for the bar.

They do that all the time dude. Seriously some of you seem really new...
Do you remember the loadout system, for example?? and still a lot of people bought loadout slots from the c-store.... and cryptic didnt even bother to remove that from the c-store... this is the way cryptic works, i said it millions of times, but people will be always more worried about having new content to play that having a good game to play and in the end, what they get is new content bugged as always. Cryptic should focus to fix everything in the game before doing anything else, because as a lot of people siad tons of times in the past, if you dont fix things first, anything you do will be messed up and bugged again. And this is going to be happening to the end of days. Because they dont put efforts, first on doing things right, second on TESTING things right, third on having a clean code to work into, because all the code is messed up due to so many bugs, and finally, even with fails so big like this one, cryptic is not worried because people will continue to paying money no matter what, and they keep releasing things to grab even more cash from the users. Happened in the past, it will happen now. So, guys stop complaining and just play the game, because nothing will change. Even if you have a millions of broken things, the player base of this game demonstrated millions of times that the only thing that matters is new content. So, complains now?? really?? about something you already knew it will happen?? incredible.. xD. Fortunately i learned the lessons months ago, and i am one of the few who did that. But the rest of the players complaining in the forums... they still didnt learn anything. Unfortunately. They keep screaming "oh, more free items, nice!!, i am not complaining anymore!" and everything is forgotten. Or "nice! a new expansion!! who cares about bugs!! yeah, more content to play!!". I mean, you see the point.
If you did I apologize but did you click on upgrade again in your inventory. There's no notification or delivery until you go back in the upgrade window.

Same thing happen to me last night Mark 13 Rare into Mark 13 Very Rare didn't do anything except had take 130K EC and 9K Refined D-Ore. Ouch It reads now I have 10% for chance for a Very Rare Mark 14. But you can't get Mark 14 until your Level 60. Why did it allow the first Mark 12 into Mark 13 Very Rare. At least both are much higher Neu-Alloy both Kin/all damage.
So it's 700 Refined D-ore x 13x = 9.1K
Like 18.2K to get them both upgraded.
260K EC also
Funny it won't let me upgrade my Mark 12 very rare purple shields to Mark 13 very rare purple. Reads it's the highest you can get right now. I guess I'll just have to grab one off the Rep Tier 5 instead. when I have more refined D-ore to use.
Aaaaahhhhh yes.....Cryptic's 'generosity' knows no bounds...
I tried to warn people not to get suckered in to this upgrade scam....and I could say something helpful now....but I can't breathe from laughing so hard.
The PWE/Cryptic sweatshop...not where the game is made,but where the game is played!
Take back your home,end the grind!

There are pills you can take to help with that.

Okay but in all seriousness, what did you guys expect when you released it on to holodeck? You know it's not ready, you're still testing it on tribble for a reason.
Red Alert! We'll be shutting down the Upgrade Event to make an emergency fix to the system. We will update you with more info ASAP. Thanks for your patience everyone!
Thanks for the communication on this. I can't imagine it has been easy tracking all the bugs, but really appreciate the work you all have been doing.
I have to wonder what the logic was releasing this system early onto holodeck when it was still having various issues on tribble. Did ANYONE at that particular meeting at Cryptic go, "...You're kidding, right? Please tell me you're kidding."

Double negative corrected.
I hope special mission rewards like the Hirogen tetryon blast rifle, Federation_Type_3_Phaser_Rifle, Overcharged_Plasma_Sniper_Rifle and Klingon_Disruptor_Pistol get their upgrade possibilities.
I am sure the day is coming when the straw breaks the camel's back for me.
