Crystalline Cataclysm coming back

Hi all,

Just noticed on the calender that the crystalline cataclysm event is due back in a couple of days. Any word yet on what the unique reward is going to be this time?

Got a cat? Have 10 minutes to help someone make the best degree dissertation of all time?

Then please fill out my dissertation survey on feline attachment, it'd be a massive help (-:

    I haven't seen any information on it yet, we'll probably get some more details tomorrow.

    It would be nice if we could get a new shuttle or something like that, or a combat pet. Or unlock new playable species. Or get a shuttle in real life. Or... well I could list thousands of things I'd like to see or have, but since I don't have any clue as to what we might get, I'll just stop now :)

    It would be interesting if we could get mini crystaline entities as hanger pets, though that might be kinda weird still would be interesting an keep with the event idea of fighting it. An than we might collect parts of the entity an find a way of nuturing them to grow prior to luanching them as a reusable fodder for carriers to use.

    Oh TRIBBLE. This is potentially dreadful...

    If there is an awesome reward this time, I'd be inclined to run this on my alts... all 11 of them. I'm not in the mood to run a misison 12 times a day for 2 weeks. :disappointed:

    Now would be a great time to make these kind of events 'alt friendly' by making the rewards an account unlock... (even if it were just the special item and not the dilithium/marks)

    (I know I don't 'have to' run it on alts, but I'd be dissatisfied leaving some characters out during an event.)

    The Crystaline Energy Torpedo? That was a Character unlock, once earned on a character it can be reclaimed on THAT character only, just checked my Delta recruit while writing this, "Reclaim Tab" empty as usual.

    Or was there a more recent Crystaline event that was account unlocked? (Not being snippy, I would really like to know. If they really did go account wide that would be AWESOME!)

    Account unlocks would be awesome. But even if they don't make them account unlocks, I wish they'd make all reward projects available each time they run these events. That way folks could get them on alts that missed them.

    Awesome. I could do with a massive chunk of dilithium.

    Event Character-only unlocks suck so bad. Hope they change it for future events.

    No, but it's fun seeing PVE'ers cry about it when the weapon is still working just fine.

    Why am I not surprised? Price of Zen was threatening to go below 200...not only do we get the Krenim Dreadnought Doff pack to raise prices we'll also have another 50k per character Dilithium event!

    Wait. Isn't "Butterfly" supposed to go live the same day? Are we sure this wasn't just a placeholder for until they announced the episode, but just haven't changed it in the calendar yet?

    So what?
    What in what sense one prevents the other to work? in what way does playing a FE prevents you from joining a queue?

    It doesn't. I was simply asking a question, since there's no confirmation, as yet, that Crystalline Cataclysm is indeed returning at this time.

    It would be awesome, but the Summer Event changes give the indication that they're not inclined to make past reward projects available. If anything, the account unlock is more likely... and I'm not counting on it. :p

    Yeah non-combat, but with the anti-proton torp they did last time, it would be nice to have a true mini crystaline entity shard as a actual combat hanger pet that could be used.

    Its on the calendar ... we had XP Weekend and FE running during Summer Event, no reason to believe a FE would conflict with a queue.

    I suppose that's true.

    not for crystalline entity and mirror invasion events, as they usually give a substantial dilithium reward they have to be completed by each character.

    the only events that give an account unlock reward are the summer, winter and anniversary events.

    When I think about everything we've been through together,

    maybe it's not the destination that matters, maybe it's the journey,

     and if that journey takes a little longer,

    so we can do something we all believe in,

     I can't think of any place I'd rather be or any people I'd rather be with.

    Well, at least I get an easy way to earn a lot of dil easily. Too bad I have two toons below level 60. I don't have the time to level them up to 50 quick so I can maximize the dil I get.
