Another disappointment / R&D final level

Just reached Beam Level 20 in R&D today (ok, I admit, I have spent quite a fortune of Dili to achieve that). The more I was disappointed, that the reward is - nothing. (Except for a stupid title). No option to choose beam modifiers (not at least a single one of the three possible), nothing.
I feel this is very disappointing, considered, that in order to reach level 20, you need to have 2.07 mil xp and to reach 15 (where you can unlock the epic items) you only need around 700K.
Devs, where are the high-end gamer rewards?

Do you see what you did there...?
You came up with a really good idea for high end production -- being able to decide what modifiers you'd like while crafting.
But then you screwed up by acting all entitled and angry because you didn't find a toy at the bottom of your cereal box.

Maybe try getting level 20 in all R&D schools before drawing any premature conclusions?
15 gives you extra traits. Beyond that, TRIBBLE it!
On R&D level 15, you get special gear unlocked, leveld between the usual stuff and the Reputation system.
From 15-20 the chances for better mods rise, but nothing more. There are no LV 20 rewards. Just better chances for better mods.
But this was not a secret.

But you paid dil to complete it? Would you recommend doing that now?
Star Trek Online typical 'fun' day.
Login.
R&D, collect and start over.
Collect doffing results, and start new doff cycle. (bitterly complain about the XP nerf)
Pay tax to leave Starfleet Academy (reman and romulan toons)
Run mirror normal.
Check the queues for possible runs. Give up.
Repeat per toon.
Then logout.
1.5 hrs.
I have a toon that can do advanced and elites, but the loadouts still don't work. It gets tedious. The good news is that I'm not alone. Misery loves company.
I have a reman who's leveled without DR content. But ship mastery doesn't work for remans. So the shiney new T-6 ships are worthless to him.
And I bought the operations pack. yay. Fun.
I will have Cannons and Ground Gear at level 15 soon.
I am not using dilithium to level the R&D system.

They should have just labeled the system as 15 max. Then each level after 15 one just gets +1, so a level 20 would be 15 +5. I think that would have made people understand the system a little better.
Shhhhh! :mad: Don't give them ideas :P

OOH!! OOH!!! Can I do mine?!

... crash. Re-login.
... crash. Replace your Academy woes with futile visit to ESD. Re-login.
HA! :P
Same. But with more crashes! :P
I usually give up before actually logging out, leaving my toon standing in front of the exchange or something... and forgetting about the force verification that will await me the next day.
Funny thing is, it's probably about the same time spent. :P And I also bought the Delta Pack, so I second your sarcastic 'yay', LOL.
I've stopped at level 15 for all of my schools, or am in the process of working to level 15 in my schools. Sadly, many were saying early on that there was no real benefit to working to level 20... which maybe shouldn't be the case. At the very least, you should be guaranteed UR quality at level 20, IMO.
Keep in mind, too, that you'll still have to upgrade your gear... so, if they didn't guarantee the UR quality, then level 20 should open up the ability to craft Mk XIV gear. That may make the grind worth it.
There is nothing at level 20 yet, but as someone else already said, I imagine the R&D system will be expanded upon.
You could have asked other people since plenty of players sped through to level 20 on day 1. You have some advantages over others.
1) 100% chance to crit superior or experimental upgrades.
2) About a 33% chance to crit the mats to make such upgrades. Could be wrong, I'm only almost at 16 myself, but I think that's what my fleet leader told me he got.
The chance to crit the UR level 15 gear is junk even at level 20. You have to spend a fortune, and the chance to crit with catalysts and purple doffs is still below 50% I think.
At level 15, you pretty much crit almost all the time, so it's 7,000XP a day. I expect to get 4 schools in each toon to level 20 at some point in May. Might as well keep on going anyway, it's free (kick off scan/analyze doff assignments over and over) and I like getting all accolades anyway on my main PvE toon.
Hey ... , not finding any toy in ones cereal box used to be a perfectly legit excuse for getting pissed ! :P
Don't torture the guy ... :eek:
/241 seconds of my life I won't be getting back ...
What does crit success grant you on crafting upgrade kits?
You will get two upgrades instead of one.
It's always amazing to me anymore and I dunno why I guess because of the double standard, that expecting quality, expecting a reward for time spent in game (you know the oldest system in game development ever especially in mmos) is somehow entitlement...
Entitlement would be expecting that all of the devices that are epic at level 15 were instantly free. Entitlement is not, expecting that you receive at the very least an accolade. Seriously, please learn the difference before posting.
The other thing that bothers me are the advocates for the new model of gaming, where you do all of the grinding and nothing comes from it. Why not tell the players the truth when you're selling the game, let them know that you'll be battling the games RNG loot system end game or that you'll not receive any rewards for what has effectively become a second job, then we'll see how many of these games get sold in the future because that's what advocates like you are telling the future developers. That you like being exploited, being put into an enormously lengthy process only to reach the end and not get anything in return of value. That your time means nothing. How very Ferengi of you.
rad asssistance missions ? where to get them - or speficicaly- these doffs ? only know about one in which you request new staff at academy for 1k dill - it is this ? that after you reach lvl 20 yu can buy unique doffs there ?
When they released crafting they said they weren't going to spend time on modifers if people were dumb enough to accept an unfinished crafting system -
You effectively rewarded them for putting out a lesser product whose only design is meant to be a milk customer now button.
