If this new trait proc does not trigger a cooldown on THY, then I am getting this bundle hands down. My plasma torp Reman will love it.
If the new trait does trigger a cooldown on THY, then it is worthless, making the bundle worthless.
So far I don't think this bundle is worth it especially for a trait but excellent point about whether that starship mechanic cools-down the regular high-yield 3 or not! I don't know all the items included yet but it doesn't look promising to me so probably not going to buy.
I watch that 10FW live-stream & at some point that Jeremy insinuates that if enough players buy this they'll consider future Legendary bundles. So we as consumers are in a hostage negotiation with that Jeremy lol.
That is what I was afraid of Cryptic doing after the Fed Legendary bundle. Cryptic will offer more a la carte boutique bundles offering less content for more cost. Not as much quantity for sure as the Fed bundle but since starving for a particular product Cryptic will deliver lesser quality/quantity & charge more for it. Then even if/when it sells well since Cryptic won't show sales they can fall-back on not doing anymore Romulan Legendary bundles or any future KDF Legendary bundle regardless.
It made sense about what that Jeremy or Thomas said about not doing a KDF Legendary, yet???, since this Year of the Klingon isn't complete yet.
I found it laughable again that they were hyping-up the boost to level 65 as a big deal. They've offered boosts to level 60 tokens before anyways so despite their claim there's a lot to do "under the hood" it isn't a big deal & seems more like fluff & it wasn't sounding like from their chatter that the items will be Epic Mk XVs neither.
I did like Kael's wink around the 40 min mark lol hopefully many players that didn't get the opportunity or skipped it will have another chance of some sort.
STO has NEVER offered any kind of boost straight to level 60+ before. What you might be thinking of is XP boosts, which are not the same thing.
What this boost will do is set the romulan character to level 65, no matter what level they are, so in theory, you could set it on any leveled character and just get the items.
My mistake, I had to check my brother's account since he had never used his & I had used mine long ago. It was only level 50 to 60.

I still don't see a lot of value in a 1 to 65 level boost since pretty easy to level-up but to each their own.
I'm also finding the, today's, details being released about all the included items/services included for this Legendary Romulan Captain's Bundle sadly mediocre quality of items, nothing top notch, & very lacking but again to each their own.
$120?!? That's insane! They're obviously only expecting people to buy it while it's on sale, but what sense does that make? This pack is for players who don't play too often, or are new and wan't to skip the grind, and obviously the whales that need EVERYTHING. The last group is going to buy it immediately, but money can still be made from the first two. But what are the chances that those people are going to actually be online during the sale and actually know about it? This pack should be MAX $60 all the time to match similar lvl boosts in other games.
_____________________________________________________
Anyone want to give me a Temporal Heavy Dreadnought pack? I'll be your friend
I already have a max level Romulan (and don't need another) and bought the LoR pack way back when; so $60 ($120!) for a single ship isn't a bargain to me. And Cryptic why give Purple Mk 14 stuff? Just make it Mk 15 or at least make it UR Mk 14. And I bet the Boffs aren't all SROs. Calling it Legendary but you're just that one step away from actually making it legendary.
If a newer player just happened to love Romulans and the T'liss then its a good deal. (Been playing with my T'liss recently cause shooting that massive plasma ball is just fun to do.) But really not much to excite existing/old players with this offering.
Does the T'liss have more knock-off copy variants (all sold seperately) than the Constitution class cruiser at this point?
When the Year of the Klingon finally starts, some time in November, I have a real safe feeling guessing that their Legendary ship will be just another B'rel Bird of Prey.
60 dollars for one ship and one character boost? And the ship is effectively a 30 dollar ship? + 30 dollars for one char to level 60? Nope.
Sorry I think I am fine with never owning this ship. If you threw in a legendary D'Deridex at 60 it would be worth it. But at 12k once the sale expires.... No... no thank you. If I have to choose between THIs and a KDF bundle I would go KDF IF... IF I choose to spend 60 at all.
I hope Cryptic will read these, post pone this pack and improve it with a couple more ships.
> @somtaawkhar said: > (Quote) > Where exactly did you get the idea that YotK isn't started until November when Cryptic has clearly shown its already in progress.
Nothing for YOK has actually been released though, has it? I'm guessing their internal view of when it starts will be when it's content begins going live.

Cryptic has previously stated the J'Ula plot is going to end at or around the anniversary. So it wouldn't even be close to a year if it only comes out in November. Year of the Klingon = a year of Klingon content, and they had obviously started working on said content before it was announced in late April. So, by the time the Anniversary comes out next February it would have been about a year's worth of Klingon content made.
Now Covid has certainly slowed things down a bit, so it will probably continue past the Anniversary now, but still. The next release should have come out last month, going by the track record Cryptic has been following for awhile now. So we are 1 month behind right now. So projected end date for YotK is March 2020.
I mean, we have already seen that they have revamped
Hairs
Faces
Skin tints
Uniforms
NPCs like J'mpok, and Kagran
Ships like the B'rel and K't'inga
The ship bridge, and interior(at least in missions)
Maps like Khitomer, Qo'Nos, and Rura Penthe
The tutorial
And we know many of these new textures for maps are getting applied to older maps, even if those older maps aren't going to be seeing any other changes. That most of what I would expect them to be updating right there.
What if they bump the time in the game forward a year during that time? :P I don't believe anyone said it would be an actual year.

Yeah, IDK about all that. But I refer back to my previous question: Has any of their YOK actually gone live yet? I'm asking because I don't know.

Legendary Pilot T'liss, Legendary Miracle Worker D'Deridex, Legendary Intel Mogai… at least 3 ships, considering we received how many for fed at 200$ if you bought in the introductory pricing...
I would think, these 3 ships above, and the level 65 character, for 100 even, would have seen multiple people say, "shut up and take my money."
(note I do not mention the scimitar since it is a reman designed ship, which we romulans still don't have a "flagship" like the oddy and bortas btw...both of those are able to be obtained via fleet stores, granted not best versions but still)
The conspiracy theorist in me says that they intentionally are making it so expensive that most people won’t buy it, thus giving them a “reason” to not make any more non-Fed Legendary Ships.
> @revanindustries said: > The conspiracy theorist in me says that they intentionally are making it so expensive that most people won’t buy it, thus giving them a “reason” to not make any more non-Fed Legendary Ships.
I too suspect a 'romulan plot'. They purposefully, intentionally, maliciously left out the D'deridex to wither and die so they can perhaps make more money on Picard Romulan ships.
I would have snapped up this bundle without hesitation if it came with a more iconic ship.
Seriously, not having a legendary D'deridex is like leaving the Galaxy class out of the mix. Pure, seemingly intentional stupidity.
"Just one ship" is true, but it does include the TOS T'Liss skin from the promo pack ship. For a TOS fan that raises the value. For less ancient Trek fans the Picard skin would also be a lock box or promo ship without this.
If they fix the blog to include the missing T5 traits that also adds value for those who don't already own the Malem. We do get its console for sure.
What about the 'Built to Last' Trait and Corbomite Maneuver Console from that Promo Temporal T'Liss?

I'd be more tempted to buy the bundle if it turned that big red ball plasma torpedo back in to plasma damage instead of kenetic damage. That said, it would be paying money to undo the nerf they did a while ago which I doubt will happen. Still it'd tempt me more.
So sad. I knew that the "over 70 items" were mostly going to be useless, but I had hoped that we would get some nice unique bridge officers with good space traits. It seems it will just be 6 generic romulans or remans (they didn't bother to specify species and traits). So very sad that this is the best they could come up with for us Republic players. I am so close to giving up on this game.
I should be able to grind out enough dil and convert to zen to buy this by the time it comes out on console (assuming we will also get an initial offer sale). So I might get it. If I were to buy it, it would only be to support the release a new romulan content. I fear that because this "bundle" is so terribly overpriced at $60 and very underwhelming, not many people will buy it, causing the devs to be even less likely to release new romulan content in the future.
All this being said, I’ll still probably get it and make a new character to appease the metrics so we will get Klingon Legendary Ships and hopefully in the future a Legendary D’deridex.
The consoles... Are those consoles just claimable on characters that can claim the ship or can the consoles be claimed on characters without claiming the ship as well?
This immense bundle will be available for the price of 12,000 Zen, with a special introductory offer of 50% OFF until Jube 15th! This offer will release on the following dates:
PC: June 18th, 2020
Xbox One and PlayStation 4: July 16th, 2020
After taking a look at the pack and whats in it and the limitations on some of the items that appear to be only a character unlock, the pack is an easy item to PASS UP!
The consoles... Are those consoles just claimable on characters that can claim the ship or can the consoles be claimed on characters without claiming the ship as well?
As far as I saw the Ship & the Consoles are claimable by all Characters, so I think you got to decide what you keep, bank, or possibly reclaim.

It has the console.. but the trait not, AFAIK. I like the ship, really, but 6000 is a 3 ship bundle, and at 12000, well, a little more gets me the legendary bundle... i do want them to release ships not in the promo boxes.. ohh... it's difficult and i dont have a lot of money...
