    First, the Breach was shortened for Console players, and not for PC--hence the "quality of life" phrase. Second, I doubt that the weapon will be an account-wide unlock since it can be place later into the Phoenix Pack. As for the rewards, I miss the old days where you could get 500 Fleet Marks and 500 Choice Marks; the reduction isn't as enticing. Bottom line, people will do Breach for the 50,000 Dil Ore. Can't wait to see the changes. I hope it is short enough to do on multiple alts.

    So, you miss things that never were? Second ever Crystalline Event announcement, already at 500/250. Even with the original bonus marks event, where you could hold off on claiming the reward for one of these things, you would have received 750/375.

    Edit: In case you were wondering, the first Crystalline Event had no reputation marks as a reward at all.

    This is an MMO, not a Star Trek episode simulator. That would make for a terrible game.

    At this point, seriously starting to get event/grind fatigue. I can't remember the last time we had a decent break from the eternal Cryptic grind fest. Maybe it was last September or October, can't really recall now. Hopefully April and May will finally be grind break months.

    NEW STABBY DEATH!!!!! YAY!!!!!

    Seriously, we've never had a melee weapon like this before. It looks to use the animations already made for unarmed melee.

    Yep, I dread the time from the start of the winter event to the end of the anniversary event. In fact, last year I got so sick of the grind I cut wayyyyy back on play time until the summer event. It's just far too much.

    I for one have no issues with the current/original length of Breach, but the other improvements are nonetheless welcome. As for the punch dagger... also welcome (I recall opining that they should've been available as a DJC requisition a while back), and I wonder if they'll have any special traits (like a chance to inflict bleed on strike);

    The Breach, a pve that really lasts too long. Especially with noobs in the team.

    Hear, hear! I'd LOVE to have a couple of months (at least) with no new grind/event/reputation/R&D school, so I could spend some time playing Foundry missions (the closest thing we have to exploration anymore).

    You're forgetting how event ships which were account-wide get added to the actual phoenix box as single character unlocks, so it's probably also possible for weapons.

    That's what i do during the summer and winter.
    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.

    The fact that it's a melee weapon has me actually disinterested in even bothering to do the event this year unlike the last time in 2015 where we got an admiralty card.

    Winter event is the only one that offers a good break since it takes 1-2 minutes and it's an account unlock.

    This will not be an Account Unlock. As long as these 21-day Events drop Marks and Dilithium it will never happen. Weekend Events like the Arena, and there will be other kinds, will be an Account Unlock. They don't give out Dilithium and Marks as the final prize.

    The Winter, Anniversary, and Summer can be Account Unlocks as well as they too don't give out Marks and Dilithium.

    I just hate this event. But like its rewards. (Grinding, yes.)

    Having 9 characters at level 60, 6 of whom still weak, and no coordination or direction sense (or almost non), I (and I think also pugging "mates") would appreciate it if you make this event's rewards account wide. It may make the event much more tolerate-able for me. Also, no such many/frequent "loaded" events means more time to "invest" in my chars, including alts.

    Yes, I know I can chose if participate or not. I have an opinion here though and stating it politely.

    P.S.
    I don't care much about the dilithium, would prefer you remove it if it's the only way you could make it account wide.

    If there's Dil and Marks, I'm there. :p

    I'm fine with only getting the dil and etc on the toon (or toons) that actually run it, but it would be nice if the weapon was account wide.
    Sometimes I think I play STO just to have something to complain about on the forums.

    We're talking about an unlock of the weapon, not the dil and marks. For course they would not let you create 1,000 characters one after the other to claim 50 million dil.

    Maybe I'm in the minority here, but I actually enjoy the Breach event. Though, I do hope, like Arena of Sompek, that the reward is account unlock. I like the event, just not too keen on spending that much time on multiple characters.

    Surely, that was not my point about the Account-wide unlock for those Events. As I have stated numerous times in the plethora of Threads about this and that (special rewards only Account Unlocks), Cryptic needs to put the Special Reward in a Box and when that is opened by a Character, the Character gets the item AND the command to unlock for the Account is made. The Item is added to the Event Reclaim Store and that is that.

    I am serious...and don't call me Shirley. And, yes El Guapo, I know what a plethora is. :)

    Am curious to see what this modified version will be like. I'm a fan of the original Breach, where the entire map was open without arrows marking the way. It would be nice if this STF returns after the event to be that way for the Advanced version, leaving Normal difficulty with the arrows and all for those who are new or have a hard time navigating or staying in a group for whatever reason. Not sure how many toons I'll be using for the event still, but got 5 ready just in case.

    So... when do we get a description of the Voth weapon?

    Also, please don't shoot ltminns.

    Yeah, we'd lose another advocate for account-wide unlocks... *time travels back to stop Minns from being shot*
