Dabo

Ok i am really ticked off about this dabo game! I played for the Breen holo-emitter and was ripped off!! I spent like 4hours getting the latinum and spending like a million credits on dabo and came up short with a ONE TIME USE ONLT holo-emitter! I have never felt so ripped off in my life and i never thought that it would be star trek to commit such an act! If you want proof that i had it i have screenshots and now i dont have the device after 15minutes!! NOTHING anywhere says ONE TIME USE ONLY, nothing anywhere! I checked my inventory and everything for it and notta nothin ziltch!! Once again this really dissapoints and i warn anyone else do not waste your time with DABO!!!, it is a fun game and i thought the payoff was worth it, i love flying around being a Breen ship, untill my 15 minutes was up and i realized the emitter was gone!!!! and that i had wasted alot of time and credits for nothin!!! I want retribution, i want my credits back or just the darn emitter!!
I was ripped off and i want compesation!!

    Yeah this 15 min use is garbage for the cost of these things.

    So I am guessing gornman47 that you never tried this feature on Tribble... Most people that tried it found out quickly how they are not worth the effort right now due to the lack of game time you can play with them.

    Best option would be to use it as an option to take a break, from the grind of playing for extended periods of time and not expect anything from it for now.

    Hopefully they give us some better buying options in the future.

    Yeah, I agree about the 15 minute thing... It took me well over a hour, maybe even 2 to get 20K PGL, only to discover that the holoemitter was one time use only.

    What are the reasoning behind that?? If we could atleast have a way to recharge the holoemitters after they run out...

    Not everyone plays Tribble, and the creators should have let people have a little more info about an iten that they are spending alot of time to require. The bottom line is that its a rippoff, period!

    lol...a captain and his latinum shall soon be separated.

    So let me quess. You thought that for an insignificant amount of time/latinum you were going to be able to permanently "be a Breen ship". Sure that makes sense. Anyway, no where did it say that it was permanent and while I can't check now, I thought it was pretty clear that it was temporary. Also, the value of 15 minutes for the price seems about right.

    That said...a permanent option would maybe be okay, but only for many millions of latinum or more. Don't want everyone to be flying a Breen or Undine ship; or worse, a space slug.

    Umm yeah i knew it wasn't "permanent"! but like most things in this game, for example, the transwarp, it should have had a cool down time. I knew i wouldn't be a Breen ship forever, it's a friggin holo-emitter, takes energy and stuff to power it and considering the time and effort spent on getting it a 15 minute use only item is DEFIANTLY NOT WORTH IT!!

    I can see why you are a little gripy.

    I agree, maybe the latinum cost should come down a bit.

    (and more latinum store items please ;-)

    Otherwise Dabo is cool and the prizes are cool. Want more prizes.

    On someone's schedule. How about a cat (or maybe an exotic kitten :))?

    Just started playing Dabo - not bad.. Didnt carefor the cost of the prizes. I think a little more selection (not just costumes for the ships).

    You must bad luck if it took you that long to get 75k....

    I played the game for about 30-40 min and found it a nice way to pass the time while chatting with other player. :)

    played dabo on Tribble and won more then one time 100.000

    at holodeck highest Win i saw were 15.000

    but price off EMITTERS they have not changed...

    They should make them cheaper or make Winning again easyer.

    And more things to buy like they said whould be good too. Some things for my Office and Room on my Ship whould be nice.

    On Holodeck i need 100.000 EC to get 50.000 Gold - latinum
    on Tribble it was 1:1 or even more Latinum for every EC

    Riker, I think it is better now than what it was for me the pay outs are right and the cost to play is right.

    Most people that are RA5 would have at least a million in Energy Credits spending 300 of these to play Dabo at a time is not a big loss considering you will get your money back when you sell drops on the exchange or replicate it for credits.

    It was to easy to win on Tribble, you could get millions of Latinum in a short game time. The payouts were to large and to often.

    Considering how Latinum was shown in DS9 as a rare currency to have millions of bars is not realistic to have. Look at how many times Latinum was traded to get special benefits.

    The Emitters could be cheaper if they keep the 15min usage time only. However I would rather want Luxury items for my Ship or Person as a frequent player.
