Poll: Should the Galaxy-X remain exclusive to the referral program?
System
Member, NoReporting Posts: 178,019 Arc User
One of the main points Cryptic has emphasized in various interviews is that they listen to their players. And TBH, they've done a pretty good job so far. For example, the game launched without PvE for Klingons, the community requested it, and they have started to deliver and have more in the works. The game launched with a pretty lame crafting system, but people expressed their desires and Cryptic is reworking it. The list goes on and on from the DP to the difficulty slider to end game content.
However, a new issue has arisen that people are voicing their concerns about; namely the Galaxy-X ship introduced through the referral program. Cryptic has made a pattern thus far of listening to the players, and thats a good thing. So lets have an unofficial poll to show how the community feels about this issue, so Cryptic can have another opportunity to prove they are listening:

This thread isn't going to end well.
Too bad. This is the kind of thing that needs to be nipped in the bud NOW.
More topics means more people at Cryptic are aware that we, the players, are upset about this.
Sorry its getting on your nerves, but at least with a poll you can see exact numbers with one click instead of reading every page of a thread. If it really does bother you though, I would recommend exercising your free will and not clicking on a thread related to a subject you dont want to read about.
I've counted at least 10 different people posting their thoughts against this in the last 20 minutes.
I'm really sick of some people trotting out the "eeeh it's just teh same people over and over!" misinformation.
Which are easily found by clicking on the "dev post" button which is currently NOT next to this topic.
Well, you can easily see the Dev posts without reading anything else in the thread using the Dev tracker.
So 10 people on the forums are complaining about this?
Seriously, complain about something worthwhile and go find five friends, it's not that hard. I don't mean any ill-will towards you guys, but this is ridiculous.
Yes, 10 people I counted in 20 minutes = only 10 people complaining about this.
¬_¬
Anywho I don't think Cryptic is going to change their mind about this one. It's too good a marketing strategy and that is one very tempting carrot at the end.
Yes yes keep telling yourself it's just a few malcontents. That's what they said in SWG too as it burned around them.
At the end of a nigh-impossible task, a marketing gimmick made in bad faith that will anger fans.
Maybe your right. But I never would have believed they would have changed their mind and made what was planned to be a paid expansion for CO free either. And the only reason they did was because of community feedback. That was a much bigger issue than this by far.
I did not rule out the one time posters who post their complaint and then move on, I just stated that it was a decent number of players who keep posting their rage about it. And I'm well aware of what happened in SWG.
Then this challenge should be right up the ally of us Trekkies. :cool:
Seriously though, I understand the frustration. I share in it to an extent, but I'm still going to try my hardest to get that ship in a calm, collected, mature manner, and rise to the challenge or fail. Nothing more and nothing less.
I was not aware of that. Interesting.
Yeah, I was pretty surprised myself. Here is the info if your interested:

Seriously, it's the coolest ship of all designs, IMO. Yes, I want it too. Am I ever going to get it? Probably not. Does it bother me? Not at all. Did you also complain about the Constitution class pre-order Enterprise 1701? That's exclusive as well. The difference, you can go and get this one.. Just recruit 5 people to the game.
Edited to remove my errors about the "costume" It will have unique cannon. It will also possibly have a non-combat cloak (even though it contradicts their older pre-release posts)
Please do your research before commenting, you're wrong on multiple counts.
dstahl as hinted that it will have a cloak, and a unique cannon making it more than just a skin.
And you not only have to recruit 5 people, a task in itself, you must also get them all to buy a one-month sub.
Where did he hint that it will have a cloak? Link or it did not happen.
For shame Jackalope! For shame!

Technically they would have to stay for two months. First they would have to play through the free month that comes with the game, then they would have to subscribe for another before you would get any credit.
Oh goody! So, it's an even better item that many of us will never get unless we buy five accounts ourselves. Aaaaargh!!!
I agree, there should be another way to get it...perhaps with the accolade system or something?
