request: rerun recruitment events

rensai3

I think it would be great to see the recruitment events run again (gamma, temporal, delta).

Perhaps, but Cryptic decides when to rerun events. Also Temporal Recruit is in limbo until they can figure out how to make it more inclusive in regards to at least KDF as right now it is purely Fed side. Delta had access to Fed, KDF, and Romulan, while Gamma just brought in the Jem'Hadar who choose which side to ally with, and thus gain access to the full story arcs of either Fed or KDF.
Temporal is pure Fed only.

Ambassador Kael brings up wanting to rerun the recruit events at every opportunity. At some point Temporal will be fixed for all factions. Probably.

I'd like to see a new recruitment event. What shape that would be? I have no idea. Alliance centred perhaps? Now that we're all one big happy fleet.

Think about it this way: they have all of the back end numbers about everything. They know what really helps their sells, and what doesn't. They also know what kind of "return" justifies X amount of work/resources.

So with those thoughts in mind, do you think we would have to ask/beg them to do something that they could clearly see was beneficial to their bottom line? The logical answer is "no". If they see/know something helps them, they will obviously do it.

The fact that people are repeatedly asking for them to do these events, yet they happen so rarely, is essentially an example of "their silence speaks volumes". For whatever reason (which I won't pretend to know), they clearly do not think the work (on their end) of these events justifies doing these events; at least very often.

Isn't the TOS Temporal recruitment the only one that hasn't been reran? I thought that Cryptic has stated there's some technical issue hindering a rerun of the TOS Temporal without stating what that was? It's a shame too since the TOS Temporal recruitment offered some nice rewards, but then again some at Cryptic really like their "exclusivity".

I've always thought that it wouldn't hurt the stability of the game, would benefit us players & future players, & be good PR by Cryptic to rerun such recruitment events once a year.

Unfortunately this is a recycled request that usually at best gets a recycled response by Cryptic of something like we want to too & are working on it but cannot yet because of yadda yadda.

I could even see Cryptic monetizing previous recruitment events at some point.
