WTF Items have been removed from the Lobi Store

siruksiruk Member Posts: 20 Arc User
The following items have been removed from the Lobi Store:
Jem'Hadar Space Set - Dominion Circuitry
Jem'Hadar Ground Set - Shrouded Nanofibers
Jem'Hadar Pistol - Upgraded Firing Mechanism
The items previously upgraded via these packs can now be improved via the Upgrade System

Ok PW\Cryptic so you have a sale on ground items a few weeks back and trick us into wasting money\lobi on ground items you know you are making free basically going forward. So are people going to be compinsated for the Lobi they wasted upgrading these items during that sale? Or was the sale a trick to get our Lobi knowing you were making this change. This is not cool.:mad:

    Last I heard on this is that the Lobi purchase means you get the costume unlock and they'll be reintroducing that as a standalone option in the Lobi store.

    If they had discounted the space set during the sale, I'd have been suckered in, too.

    There was a thread in circulation about it all of last week, the main topic being exactly luring people to waste lobi.

    They did say "we don't care" but way I see it this justifies complaints so anyone lost lobis should keep posting about it, it just ain't right

    Free as in you can now run the missions for the set pieces and use the item upgrade system to get what used to cost 200 Lobi. This is especially frustrating for people who bought items during the Lobi store sale that ended 2 days before the announcement of the item upgrade system.

    Actually, the stats on the "new" space set were nerfed a bit, although the devs are looking into it:

    /facepalm

    My Jem set and warp core were what I was going to focus on first, too...

    With the mod situation still hanging as well, I think I'm going to just sit on it until the shakedown cruise is well underway :9.

    Yep, that's the standard operating procedure.

    They did a services sale, which I bought a Respec Token. Two weeks later, switchable traits went live.

    I bought a Fleet Patrol Escort Refit. A couple months later, T6 ships are announced.

    And I'm astounded they don't have a ship sale running right now to swindle people out of money for already obsolete stuff. I haven't logged in for a week because of the gear announcement. PvP just got obscenely costly, gold gear or gtfo is the new meta.

    I'm just very meh about the direction they're going.

    It is pretty scummy that no matter how long ago we used Lobi to make those upgrades, that we wasted our money...not cool.

    Ya, having a sale on old stuff before new stuff comes out never happens. Its ludicrous!

    Yesterday the forum was whing saying cryptic should takes the jem set out of the lobi store. Today they are whining about it being taken out. Good times

    caveat emptor.

    to which i will say what i said in the last thread.

    I do not want to have to count my fingers after dealing, financially, with cryptic.

    Forcing me to do so merely ensures no more financial transactions.
