2016 Xmas Sale - No Temporal Agent Pack sale?

Any money I spend goes to Zen mainly because everything is purchasable for Zen. This sale is great except that the Temporal Agent Pack (the one thing I was waiting to buy) is NOT on sale in the cstore! Everything else is expect that. What's the dealeo with that???

    Why would it be available in the C-Store when they specifically said it was available on the Arc program? The Temporal Agent Pack is available for $65 and the Delta Rising Pack is available for $75 not 6500 Zen or 7500 Zen.

    You can get it at 50% off at the Arcgames website. But I have a feeling you knew this. You just wanted to complain that you can get it in game because you skimmed the article too fast and already traded your cash to zen.

    I realize that. My point is that the game deals in zen. everything is purchasable in zen. everything is on sale in the zen store EXCEPT that pack which is only on sale OUTSIDE of the zen store. Am I the only one that finds that strange?

    Everything is not purchasable with Zen. There is no way for players to grind for the Lifetime Subscription with Zen unless you are on a console.

    It makes sense for these sales to be in the C-Store, but PWE likely needs to see an increase in their Arc Page sales not their C-Store sales for their all-important metrics.

    as it happens I am quite happy to see this, after paying full price for the temporal agent pack with zen during the treat yourself event I would have been thoroughly peeved to find it was on sale for half the price so soon after.
    luckily I didn't use any real money for the purchase anyway but even so.....

    When I think about everything we've been through together,

    maybe it's not the destination that matters, maybe it's the journey,

     and if that journey takes a little longer,

    so we can do something we all believe in,

     I can't think of any place I'd rather be or any people I'd rather be with.

    I believe that the point of offering mega packs at 50% off only on the website is to ensure that dil/zen grinders and stipend hoarders don't buy packs at huge discounts without generating revenue for the game.

    I could actually see a day in which more stuff is exclusively on sale on the website and not in the game at all.
    When you see "TRIBBLE" in my posts, it's because I manually typed "TRIBBLE" and censored myself.

    Hmm. I thought everything in the Zen Store - In Game - took Zen? They can pull whatever shenanigans they want to raise money but, this tells me my time in game grinding doesn't mean as much as whipping out my credit card and throwing cash at them.

    Those expansion/collector packs generally aren't in the zen store until awhile after they've been available for $ (if I remember correctly, it was a long time before the Romulan packs could be gotten for zen. It's sped up a bit since then). As mentioned, it's always been a way for them to generate real $ (instead of exchanged/stipend zen) for the game. Nothing new or sleazy here. /shrug

    In which case, my response is "TRIBBLE you, I won't buy anything!"

    Last time i checked the blog stated clearly that the sale in CStore is for ships and packs that contain only ships... Temporal Pack got also some uniforms, one BOFF (per character) and one EVA suit... and i think there was something else (don't rememeber what... Temporal Specialisation training manual?), and also Delta Pack contains ships + DOFF pack + BOFF pack + uniforms... and i think some tech upgrades?

    I'm sure they're terrified a person who won't spend real money then threatens to not spend real money.
