Never mind all this whining about unrelated stuff, what about the fact that level 60 players will be doing this event and getting a grand total of 0 points for every ship they kill? Meh.
I'm sure they'll change the metrics so that Level 60s can get decent XP during the event... they'll only retro-nerf them all away from you a week or two after you cheater, you! :rolleyes:
Because Cryptic didn't do this same event about this time last year and Cryptic never give away anything, unless they're trying to coax players from leaving...
There must have been a big exodus a couple months ago when they gave away all those CStore items, such as uniforms and a couple ships etc...
Who's Cryptic trying to convince with all this, I mean really...
*/sarcasm*
mister gullible at it again, subtle as always too.

Doubt it ... at least not for Lobi anymore ... pretty sure the "Lobi Weekend" was the new "Episode Replay" ...
Except that the Lobi weekend doesn't keep players loging in for a month.
And after the Rerun is over the Winter Event makes sure people keep playing.
Cryptic will have active player count under control until January at least.
Also: More players getting Lobi stuff for free means more items requiring upgrades means more dilithium and EC spent.

Well, gullible is indeed one term I would use to describe your illiterate diatribes - especially when you get it so wrong like you have here, just to try and score a few points with your inane trolling...
Oh stop it with the childish sarcasm. They're not trying to make up for anything, and they don't NEED to make up for anything, period.
Play the game if you want. If you have that much of a problem with it though, I suggest you find a different MMORPG to play.
However it does seem to be a desperate measure. Even the blog wasn't ready for release when it was put up, it had things missing and typos, so hadn't gon through the proof reading stage. It was just put up in a hurry. It has been cleaned up since.
If it was planed why didn't it appear in the calander in the same way the winter event did? Why are they running both events at the same time? It seems a bit over kill fo r me, even for them, on the grind front.

If Id be them Id stick to forums, a lot of good hints in here the past two weeks. Mirror event has a good chance of distracting peeps from any problems they may have encountered with DR lately. There is 2 weeks time to correct and even the best winter event of all times can not distract from current conditions in pve end game.

Nah , the Lobi & keys giveaway during a Dil event was the above .
This sounds more like padding player numbers between now and the Winter event .
... but then they went and pulled out an award that most gamers / action film fans / men love ...
Very clever move on their part, will keep people logging in and smooth over the expansion dropoff in the stats to Head Office. Downside, will maybe mean they are less inclined to make any changes to the current xp gains or instance balance.

Shotgun FTW, may have go big game hunting with it in the Voth Battlezone.

"The meaning of victory is not to merely defeat your enemy but to destroy him, to completely eradicate him from living memory, to leave no remnant of his endeavours, to crush utterly his achievement and remove from all record his every trace of existence. From that defeat no enemy can ever recover. That is the meaning of victory."
-Lord Commander Solar Macharius
If it makes up for anything is something to be remain seen when it is over and the player base gets back to the stuff they usually do. I hope personally that Cryptic uses this distraction to address some serious issues to recent changes in end game.
For the time being the event seems to be a good installment. What do I expect to get out of it?
- Reasonable amount of skill points for my toons not at 60.
- Reasonable amount of dil times number of toons running it.
- A dealt with Delta Reputation on the fly thanks to multiple choice rewards.
- A full queue list
- Something to do in STO other than doffing
Gosh the two last ones were sad...hopefully not that sad as in not being able to let myself blind anymore that the first three are even more sad.
Lol, an event like this so soon after a major release sounds like someone crying "Pleeeeease stay in game, pleaaaase".
Sorry I have to quote myself here because I made an error of judgement in my previous post.
-> you get no delta marks for your reputation
-> if one intend to gain skill points through an event which was formally know for this benefit it is not anymore and you can basically level better everywhere else in STO than in mirror.
This event has turned out from a sad experience into a joke for me. The question if it is supposed to make up for anything fairly answered now.
Considering that perhaps 10% of player numbers usually running such events seem to queue up for it now answers any questions about the games health right along with it.

this hurts like laughing with a broken rib, lol.
I don't think we often agree. We do now, though.

And yes, I was never intending to be subtle...
