trill -> joined trill

hey cryptic.

i just nitoced, that you added "joined trill" to the store.

thats nice, but could you consider to offer another option?

i do have a trill charakter, and i spent quite some time to get a lot of accolades, it would be realy nice to actualy JOIN my trill now. on the one side, it would mean to change your charackters species, but on the other hand, joining a trill is not a change in species.

i would even buy 1,000 CP if it would mean i can join my trill now, and not having to start a new charackter from scratch...

hopefully,
D.P.

    To quote the Pre-Order FAQ...
    Q: Can I "install" my exclusive Trill symbiote after I create a different character?

    A: No. Trill is a species option players can choose during character creation, not a symbiote they can implant into an existing character after character creation.

    I agree with you,now that it is available in the C-store and 99,9% of the trills will be joined trills) you should get the opportunity to get a symbiote.

    Trill Symbiote:
    Only for RA5+ trill
    -80 cryptic points

    Or a cool in-game event on the Trill planet(unlikely,but this would be the best).

    Since I'm spamming Trill threads to say that I want this, I will post here as well. There should be some way to turn a Trill into a Joined Trill (they aren't really another species). I would be happy to pay a good amont for it. It's a situation that is basically different from every other possible race change because the two races are different sides of the same coin, it's not like going from Kilngon to Romulan to Trill to Vulcan to etc. It's Trill, to joined Trill

    Basically it's an evolution option is what you're looking for :p:D

    As somone who got joined trills at the beginning, I think if you have a base trill, at somepoint, it would get called to take a host.... but for that to be implemented into the game would be either c-store option or a random event that occurs if you have had a long enough subscription plus a high enough rank. Just my two cents on this :cool:

    I have had a joined trill since day 1 and the problem is that a Joined Trill has only 2 selectable traits where as a normal Trill has 3, so if you were to get a simbiote implanted you would have 1 trait more than other characters.

    I actually like the Idea of every character having five traits instead of four. Captains having five while BOFF only having four would further distinguish the crew from the captain. As for BOFF to Captian, on getting a command, they player could choose for a new trait the BOFF. If the BOFF was an unjoined Trill, then they could become a Joined Trill when they become a "Mon Capitan!"

    It's not that big of a deal on the trait aspect. When a Trill becomes Joined, the interface could pop up the 3 optional traits the player, like myself, chose, and theh player could choose 1 trait to lose (kinda like the player is losing a part of themselves through the joining, which would be in cannon since the player is now more than just 1 person).

    Ideas for how to do this:

    1. C-store purchase to change Trill -> Joined Trill with a stage of dropping a trait.
    2. C-store purchase that unlocks a special Trill -> Joined Trill mission (with minimal rewards of any other variety) that allows for the change to happen
    3. C-store purchase to change race in general (I imagine that this could be made to be as much is not more than a new character slot so Cryptic would not lose money)
    4. General special ingame mission with no C-Store component for people at Admiral ranks
    5. Loyalty bonus

    It really wouldn't be that hard. The 2 'races' look exactly the same, all that would need to change is swap 1 optional trait for 1 set trait, the race name, and the description of a race. and POOF! done.

    This will more than likely be a part of the eventual respecies/retrait token.

    When something looks like it isn't hard, it's most likely the most complex system in the world ;)

    While I agree to the idea, perhaps a zombie post is not the best way to voice it. Also, I'm not sure spamming multiple threads is a good idea.

    you may be right about that, but I look at it like I'm bumping all the threads to try to get as many replys a possible :). doesn't change the validity of my ideas.

    All of the suggested ideas could work, but as of now the game counts Trill and JTrill as separate races when they really aren't. Also support in general players having 5 traits and BOs having still 4 to distinguish players. If they do this those with 4 would just be prompted to pick a fifth when they login.

    With JTrill being CStore, it would of course be unfair to those who already have gotten it as preorder/CStore to have the joining event be free, so I support adding a buyable joining option in the store for those who want to convert.

    thats on C store offer
    A select number of Trill are joined with a symbiotic lifeform. Play one of these chosen few and gain access to the skills and memories of your symbiote's previous hosts!
    Joined Trill characters have the following traits:
    Hyper Metabolism: +33 Radiation Damage Resist, +33 Toxic Damage Resist, +0.1 Health Regen
    Joined Symbiote: 3.3 bonus to Starship Hull Repair, Starship Shield Emitters, Starship Weapons Training and Starship Warp Core Potential; 6.7 bonus to Starship Graviton Generators, Starship Particle Generator and Starship Subspace Decompiler

    Note: Purchase of this option unlocks it for every character slot on an account.
    Joined Trill may be Federation or Klingon Empire Captains.

    i did a Trill my very first one, now i see this option that i never noticed on the first char creation.
    would be nice to have a .. info on TRILL creation That we can UPGRADE any time with Joined Symbiote on only Trill Character one charater.
    ( I did see any new post about this so I add it here.. move me where you think it goes, ty)
