People ***** about the rewards etc, so more headaches than worth.
i would have liked to EARN my Voth or Dyson or Delta Tribble, whatever they were going to call it
You're thinking why it would cause them to spend money. Think simpler, more obvious. The C-store and lockboxes on tribble aren't connected to real money.
I find it amusing that people are complaining about no test weekend, when the build has been available for test for weeks now. Why would you need a test weekend to test the new Season?
Oh yeah, it's because you just want the stuff, and have no desire to actually test the TRIBBLE.
To be fair, a lot of people were SOL because Tribble is golds and lifers only.
Please stop bringing this up. Why do golds and lifers have to be so bent out of shape about this?? Tribble is a server meant for testing new content for the purpose of working out the bugs before they go to the main server. And FYI, many "freebie" silver members have spent more money on this game than golds and lifers, through C-store and Lockboxes.
Hasn't been for weeks now. Unless you're talking about the actual tribble (small "t") in which case the last one wasn't gold and lifer only.
I was focused on the actual testing of stuff...at least until Tribble decided it felt like it wanted to start crashing on me.
Also, mimey's incorrect, Tribble's not Gold/LTS only, it's available to everyone.
But it wasn't for quite a while and has only been open for silvers for the past 2 weeks.
Not only has it pissed off a lot of people who are silver players, who have been doing actual testing and giving feedback, instead of just using it as a sneak preview, but they also prevented LTS/gold players from testing, since with most part of the community locked out, there have been empty queues for most part of the day.
I never was able to get a queen <---queue to pop, even asking in chat. bad timing I guess. I did get up to 3 people queened( I really hate this word
You've had two weeks to test it out. It's funny because I'm a LTS and I had no problems testing out almost all the systems in the new Season that they released during the closed time, and giving my feedback. I've had harder times getting into queues since they've opened it up because everyone was trying out the new battlezones.
So we've had two weeks to test out the stuff if you're silver, three or more if you're gold. That in and of itself is longer then a weekend, at least if I'm doing the math right. Lets me see weekend is 3 days, 2 weeks is 14 days. 3 weeks is 21 days. But if I'm right 14 days is longer then 3 days.
So again why do we need a test weekend to test stuff out for 3 days when everyone has had a chance to test it for 14 days... or more?
First people wanted to earn a reward. This has been made irrelevant because of the dev statements that the "voth tribble" will be made available to everyone.
The second, and more significant reason: test weekends enjoy significant traffic in Tribble and permit rapid queue popping and relatively little down time to wait on rooms to fill up.
This might not apply to all, but I really think number 2 impacted silvers more than anything because replays and other issues kept us in holodeck more. While the silvers had weeks, they were during the FE and other Holodeck features that lured people away from Tribble. Therefore they had access to tribble but perhaps not opportunity to try stuff out and contribute to testing and reporting.
