What a complete total waste, advertising the possibility of a Jem'hadar ship, a rare, you should be saying near impossible. My wife and I have opened over 30 of these and no bug and only gathered under 300 lobi not even enough to buy the Ferengi shuttle.
Cryptic you really need to wake up to yourself and stop these limited ships. No more, just release some new KDF ships instead of Cardassian, Jem'hadar and Ferengi rare ships, that are impossible to get to start with. Who can afford over 200 million on the exchange for a bug ship. My wife and I saved for months to buy a 90 million Galor and we thought that was overpriced. 200 million no way could we save that in-time for one of those.
Either make them high priced limited c-store bought ships or don't do them at all.
For a limited time, there is a chance to receive a Jem'Hadar Attack Ship or Lobi Crystals upon opening a Gamma Quadrant Duty Officer Cadre before theyre discontinued.
Either make them high priced limited c-store bought ships or don't do them at all.
In many ways I have to agree with this. . At best the odds they give us are not even calulated, and much like your wife I too have opened several of these. . With no result at all, and at best besides the Lobi crystal's, a few green, and blue doff's I don't really need..
I too think that they should run these ships as Cstore items/ships after a promomtion as ended. .
We are extending this promotion until server maintenance on Friday morning. Full details in the OP.
Cheers,
Brandon =/\=
The new Details don't say why the promo was extended.
I thought it was supposed to be full details.

I will again note my objection to gambling becoming a big part of development and the STO experience.
Lockboxes and other random packs with 'chances to win big prizes' disgust me. I don't want gambling down the street, and I don't want it in the games I play.
People in bad places in their lives or with poor impulse control or poor analytical skills can easily get sucked in and spend horrendous amounts of money trying for the big win. Not to mention possible gambling addicts. I also wonder if there are legal issues that may result.
I really hope PWE will reconsider this direction for the game.

I really do hope you reconsider the image you're projecting with your sig shot and USS Flotation remark.
Double-speak much?
Be careful where you throw your stones Mr. Morality.
I am disgusted with the jem hadar attack craft chances. I have bought 30 Gamma Cadres and no ship. that 6,600 C-points which = $82.50 pre chinese zen takeover. Maybe we the ripped off should ban together to file a class action suit. I spent $25.00 on a new ship but to expend nearly 4 times more to get nothing... well at least I have 300 lobi crystals...

gambling ? you are jokeing? save it . by what you saying life is a form a gambling. you dont know whats going to hapen.
And again someone who didn't understood what he bought ...
I got 5K points during this incentive, which netted me 32 Packs of fresh Doffs for a lot of toons.
Got my girl her Merchantdress und skirt she always wanted, but felt way to overpriced.
No ship, but I'm okay with that ... would have gone to the exchange anyways.
One activity is banned in many regions and ruins lives, the other can be seen on TV regularly in most parts of the world.
I'm very careful. Maybe you should think about what I said rather than looking for a cutesy response.
(My sig, by the way, is an example to someone who said 'hey, no custom avatars means we don't have to look at cleavage all the time!' Yeah, no)
I agree with Ms. Boots.
You hopped on one soapbox while stepping in it via the signature.
Far from tasteful.
Regarding the ships in the DOFF packs ... I see it as no different than going to McDonalds ... buy a large fry and then playing the Monopoly game by pealing the stickers off the back ... except the olds are higher that I'll get this ship over that $1 million cash prize.

Except you can get a Monopoly ticket without making a purchase at McDonald's. Why? Because otherwise it'd be ILLEGAL, because many regions understand that letting people buy 30000 large fries in the hopes of winning $1 million is a bad idea.

You know I'll probably get banned for saying this. However I am so Super tired of seeing people more than a few times a day post HOWMUCH they hate aspects about STO. Lockboxes, promo packs, EVAILL Devs for making us GAMBLE! Freaken GROWUP! Take responsibility for your own actions and just simply do not buy the Freaken things that make you SOOOOO Angry! Your life will be less stissed, and we'll all not have to see your Rantings posted everyware, in every forum every day about everything that costs you money! THIS GAME is Free to play! If us the players actually spend the money WE WORK for on this game, How we wish to spend the money we WORK for in this game. Thats the CHOICE Us the paying PLAYERS make. You know Dear DEVs' I think F2P players need there own forums to complain on so those of us who are SOOOOO E'ville and spend the MONEY WE WORK for on this GAME, can surf these forums in PIECE and QUIET! Thank You and if these thoughts get me banned then SO BE IT! GROWUP YOU WINNIE PEOPLE WITH NO IMPULSE CONTROL! vote with your dollars not your wining!
Wish I could think of something wise and cool, and all That!
Again, gambling is illegal and ruins lives. Cleavage is shown on TV morning, noon, and night. Convenient line-drawing there.

If it were illegal, I assure you that the government would be all over Cryptic Studios and Perfect World Entertainment.
Case closed.
And those promotions like I speak of are found everywhere and yes ... you have to pay for it.
However, I recognize a closed-minded person when I see one ... either that or someone seeking to stir things up just to stir them up.
So .... This is the last thing I shall say ... This emote is for you as its how I feel on the subject.

Very nice explaination of the Odds of obtaining the Jem'Hadar Attack Ship. . IE "Its very rare".
I opened like 17 of these packs, I should have gotten a ship or at least some Purple doffs. . . Scam and a half..
In many ways I have to agree with this. . At best the odds they give us are not even calulated, and much like your wife I too have opened several of these. . With no result at all, and at best besides the Lobi crystal's, a few green, and blue doff's I don't really need..
