Just finished reading the patch notes and in case you skimmed over this, I saw that while the R&D Jem'Hadar Ship PROMO is tomorrow, the R&D BONUS weekend has apparently been pushed back to next week! Throwing this out there before anyone opens R&D boxes tomorrow thinking the bonus will kick in!

    Should we expect a sale next week?

    Thank you for doing Cryptic's job of informing customers. At least we got two news entires about the upcomming lotery.
    "Cryptic Studio’s Jack Emmert (2010): Microtransactions are the biggest bunch of nonsense. I like paying one fee and not worrying about it – like my cellphone. The world’s biggest MMO isn’t item based, even though the black market item GDP is bigger than Russia … microtransactions make me want to die.”

    Just saw the Patch Notes on the Front Page. He's right, it says moved to September 17th.

    Far to short notice for many people. I had rearranged to be free this weekend and busy next. Always hated these weekend events over the old fair system, now I cannot even make them when planning to.

    Meh.

    Is it just to be cheap, or is it because they realized that they can't actually have the bonus event and the Promo at the same time for technical reason? So it seems I was able to do both.

    I wonder what will happen if you buy them this week-end, but open them only the next? Guess I'll try. I need crafting materials anyway.​​

    Cryptic/PWE not communicating with it's consumer base again - and you guys are surprised?

    Get with the program their 'community manager' barely makes a C+ for effort.

    The R&D weekend was supposed to be the last week of August. But with each patch, it gets pushed back another week. Seriously, stop already.
    I completed a 2-man CSE, ISE, and KASE, Optionals included. And I soloed Winter Invasion.

    I am going to hazard a guess that this has been put back because of this

    This will probably happen this weekend instead, but do not quote me on this.
    It seems logical as that does end today during maintenance or there about.
    Although if this fails to happen as well I can explain that too:
    BECAUSE CRYPTIC
    lol

    Yeah, a 100 % bonus mark, 100 % bonus Dilithium and 100 % bonus skill points weekend coupled with an R&D weekend with an R&D Promo might be a bit much...


    Oh, sorry, I did quote you on that. See, englishnod promised.​​

    yep they do not want our heads to explode with all the excitement of that, there would be no one to play if that happened lol

    Super bonus weekend +R&D weekend? What is wrong with it? Queues would at least be full for once.

    The internets would fail with that the world will fall into chaos and darkness and we will all have to go back to cave dwelling if we got both good things at once :open_mouth:

    It's not that queues aren't full because there is no demand, it's that queues aren't full because only the Elite ones are worth playing and the space Elites (And even some of the advanced) are way too long.

    Fast queues will always have some demand as long as they have good rewards. Long queues have never been popular.

    Where is my CCE already?
