It is time to Lament over the Failure of Legendary Bundles.
Ok, poorly acted Klingon voice aside, I understand above all CRYPTIC MUST MAKE A PROFIT on this game. It's Free to play and there is no subscription fee anymore, Per month. It is Free to play, or life time only. If Cryptic doesn't make a profit, it has to close one of it's games letting off workers. And as popular as STO seems to us Players.
"This is my only MMO"
The first legendry Bundle, The Federation Anniversary bundle, THAT was worth the price. and I only bout the 19500 one. I couldn't afford the full 300 one.
The next one was the Romulan bundle. 1 30 dollar ship, level one character (rom only) to level 65, while expanding inventory and back, as well as B.O. slots and ship slots. At 60 dollars, it was too focused. It if had included a legendary D'deri'dex I would have bought it for 60. Just too much money for too little content, or rather, content for 1 character. If it had like 2 or three more tokens that could jump additional characters new and old to level 65. It was just too much. I WOULD pay $40 for the romulan bundle as is. If that was it's base price no discount.
You had the SAME issues with the Discovery Legendary Bundle, HAd you thrown in say a legendary Euproa Class. Yes I would have bought it for 60 dollars. As it stands, no.
The Mirror Dreadnought, THAT I actually Did Buy. For a long time, I had wanted a 5/3 dreadnought account wide ship. But the content, it wasn't... what I considered 60 dollars worth. I bought it on sale, and only after arguing with my self over it for a few days.
The New bundle, It's not worth it to me. Even with all the Fluff. The lock box keys, Nice, but far too random for me to consider. The Ship experimental upgrade tokens. THOSE are nice. So are the R&D packs. The epic level upgrade tokens, for Gear? I love those, But of questionable Value, I invest most of my Dilithium into Phoenix Prize packs. Simply to get phoenix upgrade tokens. And rarely do I use the very rare tokens, for things like the Sompek pulse rifle. Epic/Ultra rare I hang onto for when you put the Xp upgrade into the phoenix store.
The bundles need MORE to make them worth while. I understand you have to make money to keep letting us play this awesome game.
Space combat is a BIG part of STO but there is also Ground combat. Throw in some ground items that are account unlocks. Like, Plasma beam pistols, Plasma full auto rifles, plasma assault weapons that are ACCOUNT unlocked, that are level-less but say do 10% less damage than crafted/rep/fleet weapons even when they would Be MK XV epic. Add in a ground shield, ground armor as well, even if it is once per character, account unlock.
