    I've been saving the perfect character sliders for this event, prepare for an imminent timeline change.

    I'm definitely interested in seeing what changes they've made to the objectives, I recently got my Temporal Recruit to T6 on all reps just incase they did something with that.

    Well, I'm in. Temporal is the only recruit event I've not yet been able to do.

    I sure hope they have an option to RETURN to the 23rd century for our Temporal Agents in the new 'fixes'.

    A simple copy/paste separate instance of 23rd century ESD (with all NPCs) would be perfect. Just have a dialog option on Philip Crey on modern ESD to go back in time. (it would be at a point our before our character's 'deaths' while our original was on a mission away from 23c. ESD. "Say, weren't you looking into that Romulan problem?" "I forget something and had to come back" lol)

    Personally I don't mind having a 2nd one, considering that my main is already one
  • dragon#2626 dragon Member Posts: 253 Arc User
    I do wonder how extensive the updates to the TOS arc are.

    Same here. I've been through those events several times, of course, but I'm always curious about tweaks.

    They already said a hard no to this, many many times to the point they limited even further what you could do in the 23rd because it was breaking things and because of certain 'exploits'.

    Even if people can't "return", they need to make the missions replayable as "simulations" or something. I can understand an intro tutorial not being replayable, but the actual episodes definitely need to be.

    They already are for TOS characters I believe, would be nice if everyone could play them though.

    Like the Age of Discovery missions; everything past Corvan II is available to everyone.

    It's about freaking time for this recruitment event!!! I just hope the rewards haven't been "watered-down" by Cryptic but despite the too lengthy of delay for it's rerun thanks to Cryptic for finally doing it. It probably wouldn't hurt for Cryptic to rerun each recruitment event once a year or something.

    That's an excellent valid point for players that might have an already existing TOS Feddie which isn't a Temp recruit.

    Been looking forward to this as well as to see the changes they’ve made…

    I just barely missed the first AoY, so I have been waiting for this rerun for a long time, I am glad they finally did it :)

    While I already have a Temporal Recruit... I'm half tempted to roll a TOS Tac for this rerun. Might make her an Andorian too. Got two human TOS already.

    I'm not that interested.

    I grew up watching Voyager and ENT, TOS never meant much to me. I've only seen some of the older movies. And I have a recruit that has unlocked the most interesting bonus - instant Mk13 UR reputation gear - already.

    Still nice for those who missed out last time though.

    gonna make a second temporal recruit for this event my first one haven't been performing very well and his gear looks very rushed. So gonna make a better one also got a t6 temporal connie saved from the campaign event and gonna give it to him ^^
  • kayajaykayajay Member Posts: 1,990 Arc User
    Huh...I'm curious to see what happens here. I've kept my last Temporal in the past and not moved her to the 25th Century, so I'll be interested to see if there's something exciting in the first four episodes I play over and over to level her.

    LOL. I did the same thing. I wanted to savour the 23rd century atmosphere, so I stopped short of where she returns to the 'now' (thinking I was already a recruit). Won't make that mistake again. And while I do not blame Cryptic for my boo-boo, to this day I still find it unfathomable they just let all these gorgeous TOS era maps go to waste. Too lazy to make bridges, and then, when they actually do make beautiful maps, they don't use em (at least not as a permanent exhibit, so to speak). FFS, just slap a holo panel on a wall somewhere (preferably our own ships - hint), and let us use these maps!

    I've an Andorian TOS Tac on my PS4, but not a Temporal Agent. I'll be deleting and replaying... :)

    I just hope they don't butcher the TOS storyline like they did the 'Klingon War' storyline. So many missions removed for a revamp and yet they've never returned. :(

    I share that sentiment for many maps.

    New Khitomer - from the arc where we travel in the distant future - for example would also be a map that I'd like to visit more often. Or the interior of the Delphic spheres. Or Ancient Iconia.

    Time to destroy my temporal so I can make a new one so he has the Temporal Recruit Device.
    Its too bad I cant just add the Temporal Device to an already existing person, would save me alot of agrivation in having to delete / create new toon :( dissapointing.

    Temporals already have the Temporal Recruit Device, I think you meant 23rd century Starfleet.

    It's going to be interesting since it's happening in the middle of the Pahvo event, Defend Pahvo in two different Task Force Operations in order to progress Event Campaign III, and earn progress towards a free Promotional or Lock Box Ship, The Defense of Pahvo Event will begin on Xbox and Playstation on September 2nd, 2021 and run for 3 weeks before concluding.

    New Khitomer, iirc, was a pretty small area, with just a few corridors. Inside a Delphic sphere, and definitely Ancient Iconia, however, were stunning, really.

    N.B. See, I get they can't bring back the Foundry as it was, but make a holo-Foundry, consisting of these aforementioned maps (and no doubt many more), and I will be a very happy campster. :)
