I'm starting to hyperventilate here a bit. I just know I'll be tempted to do this on all toons but I also know it's going to be time gated like mirror. I may cry blood by the end of two weeks
Especially since this queue probably takes even longer to complete than Mirror Invasion. I'm gonna restrict myself to three or four characters, no more.
I'm going to see how long it takes to do all 27 this weekend. Mirror took 12 hours on 25 toons.
Holy Cheese and Rice, sir. You are out of your mind, and I salute you! If I even attempted that, I'd be divorced faster than you can say "Captain Kirk kicked a Klingon clear to Khitomer"
LMAO that's a good one will have to remember that. I have 31 toons and I am NOT going to do all of them or I wouldn't be able to look at the game for months.
Why the damn Cryptic can't do anything right?good: IMO the best "quick" mission The Breach is back with doubled reward bad: the reward is only doubled and only during event ugly: you are forced to do this again and again until you'll hate it for bonus reward, and everybody "loves" grind! That people who don't have a hour per every day will be pissed..
do you prefer cheese on your crackers with that whine?
Sorry but going to pass on this event. I'm tired of grinds on multiple alts. Ffs we just came out of one to get the anniversary ship. I'm burned out man. I mean any way you slice it this game is just not as fun as it used to be. The magic is gone. Its just pew pew in various costumes. It's like a carnival where you pick out the rides you want to experience, but those rides get real old after awhile. Except now you don't even pick the rides you want to go on. It's more like Cryptic says you will ride this ride every day 7 times a day for 7 alts over a month's span so we can dangle and admiralty card in front of you.
I'm taking time off man playing some other games that don't require a regular daily appearance and GRIND. I realize your business model says the more people are in game on a regular basis the more they are likely to buy shinnies. I'm over it.
So this is the trend of things now. Do this event for this shiny new Admiralty card. Obsessive Compulsive people will have to collect every single one on every single alt. Star Grind Online.
I loved The Breach. It was a hugely enjoyable map, and massive. To the poster who asked how many Scimitars, more than 3, in fact probably pushing a thousand or two, it is THAT big!
Here's my biggest issue, as with the Crystal and Mirror events past, AFK'ers! From past experience, especially when Breach was in the normal queues, AFK'ers ABUSED this queue. @pwlaughingtrendy I know it's probably too late now, but please, please, please can you push this issue with the Dev's because it is a serious issue!! An auto-boot for these types of events needs to happen because the AFK penalty is pointless unless they don't get the rewards!! It's so frustrating seeing 2 or 3 people just sit at the start of the mission!!!
I agree with every other poster about the Admiralty Card reward.....it's not really worth repeating the event 14 x per character at all, especially with The Breach being a mission that takes 10-15 minutes per run. To all the players, it is NOT a time-gated mission. There are objective timers for bonus Marks.
I'd also like to express my disappointment at the removal of the multiple tracks in the first part of the mission. This was a great part of the mission. Those that could handle a single track solo, could fly off and do so.
"You don't want to patrol!? You don't want to escort!? You don't want to defend the Federation's Starbases!? Then why are you flying my Starships!? If you were a Klingon you'd be killed on the spot, but lucky for you.....you WERE in Starfleet. Let's see how New Zealand Penal Colony suits you." Adm A. Necheyev.
Regardless of how I feel about the whole "faster completion time" bit (minimal is not always maximal, faster doesn't always mean "funner", etc.), I'm growing much more wary and weary of these events that feel they are clearly meant to produce temporary population boosts.
For one thing, I've done all of these events of this type that've come out so far on ALL of my alts, and I don't even want to talk about just how many alts I have. Somehow I've made the time, but that was in exchange of time I could have been doing not grinding what WILL become a mind-numbing event. For instance, I could be playing other portions of the game to help prevent the mind-numbingness, or attending to the ever more important real-life instead of spending my free time obsessively collecting a unique-never-to-be-seen-again reward on every alt I've got.
Now, I don't have to get the rewards on all of my alts, and I could certainly live with missing the dilithium, fleet marks, and other similar rewards on most of my alts except for the ones I do the event on. BUT I deeply wish that the unique rewards for these events were made unlockable for the entire account once done on at least one character on the account.
This doesn't mean unlocking the additional dilithium/marks/etc. rewards account-wide for each individual character, which should be left for alts to grind separately if so desired, but for the unique rewards, whether they be Mirror shotguns or fancy DOffs.
If something could be made to keep the two separate, but allow the rewarding of one on a per-character basis and the other account-wide, that would be a MAJOR step in helping the players who do want to grind this out for the unique reward on all their alts.
We just finished one Grind and I'm willing to bet the server population plummeted from all the people in rehab. Now we are asked to do another month long or at least 14 day Grind. No thanks. X-rebirth just released a nice new dlc update that makes the game much more worthwhile and fun to play. I cannot and will not dedicate my life to playing one online game only. Many of us also have full time jobs to afford all the stuff cryptic wants to sell. Have fun with those METRICS, METRICS, Metrics, though.
And Everquest was called Evercrack...at least everything in it under the sun wasn't a pre-determined force you to do multiple days for hours on end. To be honest, I wish the game would allow for do this "x" times on one character and just get access to it on alts. Not a very friendly alt game when everything is on a timed basis and takes so blamed much to do. Heck, even with the reputation system much less "Events". At the very least save the large time gate stuff for the Anniversary and *maybe* Summer/Winter...have some shoter stuff with less to no time sink for those folks who don't have the time to do things until they feel they need a vacation from something they are supposedly doing for fun/relaxation.
I hope the devs get from all these posts that we're getting burned out from the seemingly constant parade of events. One in December/January, one in February, one in March. The funny thing is that in Tribble there was that new Terran PvE queue listed for a hot second as an event queue. Please no April or May event.
I left WoW years ago because players became uncommunicative and the game grew heavily focused on quick raid content for less rewards at the expense of smaller-teamed group content that used to be fun to come to STO.
Now STO has become so uncommunicative and heavily focused on “quick” grind content for a day's metrics, as in a month's worth of them during these events or even more with alts, that I have gone back to playing WoW just to get my characters outfits for the “transmog” system.
If something isn't fun, I'm a lot less likely to play it, especially if I'm being told I have to grind it repeatedly until it's no longer “quick” but long and dragged out if I want to get anything out of it.
I share the same concern of all the other People here....its just getting to much, GRIND after GRIND after GRIND, what do you think? that we only live to Play STO?
Man dont get me wrong i love STO, same with my Fiancee, we both play this Game daily, for years, i have 59, FIFTYNINE Characters (42 main account 17 alt account), my Fiancee only a few less, and in the Past we BURNED US OUT with such Events, the Crystaline Event is the ONLY Event that is doable, since its Fast enough with a not too bad Group, but the Mirror Event for example was and is a NIGHTMARE for everyone who has a few Characters more than the avarege player, and now you are adding another such Nightmare???
I really would like to have that Admiralty Card on all my characters, i also wanted the other Stuff from the past like the Shotgun, Doffs, agony weapon and so on on all my characters, but the Card i even want more, but there is NO WAY IN HELL that iam going to do this 59x14=826 EIGHTHUNDRED AND TWENTYSIX TIMES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that would be 10 to 15 Hours PER DAY (10-15 Minutes per run) i maybe am Crazy just alone for having so many Characters, but iam NOT TOTALY INSANE, i or WE me and my Fiancee still have a real life you know???
If you are trying to burn out youre Playerbase than you are definately on the right path thats for sure!
Thats why i agree with everyone else, like i agreed with ALL past events too, the "SHINY" Reward SHOULD BE Account Wide Unlocked, for Chars we have NOW and all Future Characters, like you did with the Event Ships!
Iam only talking about the "Item / Special Reward" the Admiralty Card, Shotgun,Doffs,Agony Weapon" and so on, the Dill and Marks can stay PER Character, so everyone who wants the dill on all his characters can do the Grind and Boost your Metrics BUT, everyone else who ONLY wants the "Item" Reward for his Characters should NOT have to Grind the Life out of him!
You made the Event Ships Account Wide Unlocks, that was AWESOME and much appreciated, now make the same with "14 Days Special Event Rewards" FOR BURNED OUT PLAYERS SAKE! Also if you are not going to do the Mission Re-Runs anymore, than PLEASE also add "Special Mission Items" (Shard of Possibilities, Ophidian Cain, Breen and Reman Boff) to the Account Wide Unlock Store, yea we got it, you want "exclusivity" yada yada, BUT PLEASE keep that exclusivity for People who were NOT around during the Events and did NOT participate in them, and not for People who did Participate and allready got that stuff on some of their characters.
Let us see another "mirracle" like the "Event Ship Account Wide Unlock" Mirracle PLEASE.
True alters don't have a "main". Account wide unlocks for all unique event and mission rewards!!
multiple paths is part of what made this mission great
QFT - but simplifying is the name of the game for Cryptic as they basically want more 'casual players' to get interesting in the game (and spend RL cash) actual 'challenge' or 'fun' isn't a developer goal any longer (if they manage either and players still spend RL cash on the game they don't mind, but again, those two aspects aren't a priority for STO.

If they want more casual players then they need to look at lowering the costs of stuff that is in the ZEN Store - more bang for the buck. Nickle and diming folks tends to make them mad, more often than not. I don't get why they don't see that 100 items sold at $40.00 = $4000.00 *BUT* 2000+ items sold at $20.00 makes them more; especially when the sold items are constantly tossed by the wayside for bigger and better ones at a higher cost within a year or so. They also need to look at the fact they have a way to do stuff PER ACCOUNT to be more inclusive to alts; Especially when ALL the "bonus reward" stuff for Uniforms is FEDERATION when they also want folks to play KDF and Romulans. Why can't a Romulan in the KDF have access to KDF ships and one in the Fed have access to Fed ships? I mean, it isn't like they are chruning out lots of choices/options for folks who play anything but the Federation (again...ALTS). I get they want to make money---but as someone said earlier on these very forums "You get more stuff withh incentive...carrots on a stick *not* by FORCING certain things upon players. Put back the fun, allow folks to play what they want, when/where they want/how they want...stop 95%+ of the game being DPS and DPS and ONLY DPS... Make people WANT to play, WANT to spend money and they will....keep turning them off with stuff and by not listening to them in the name of "metrics" (circular logic anyone? > We don't make more Science/KDF?whatever stuff because people don't play it/them---*HELLO* people don't play them because there is no effort/love for them in game from the Devs).

More like QFF.....
the multiple paths was more a matter of Jim goes left while Slar goes right. It wasn't a choice, it was just basic coordination.
Thank you for bringing back this Que; you have no ideal how big the uproar was over it's removal last year.
However, in my honest opinion, that Voth Citadel Dreadnaught ship should her an actual ship, not just an Admiralty card. Should also be account wide (no one can spend all day grinding on a computer game, especially if their's more important stuff going on).

This'll be fun in the Odyssey, though I may have to switch to the Defiant for this one
"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."

Preferably without an accompanying catastrophe like the 'event ship exclusivity' thing, but yes.
Perhaps it would be wise to approach this from multiple angles, though - it's easy enough to ignore the forums, but put it up elsewhere as well, make sure it's not buried in all the other commentary...
Infinite possibilities have implications that could not be completely understood if you turned this entire universe into a giant supercomputer.
I found the old Breach was entertaining enough, though not without it's flaws. It sounds like maybe the new Breach corrected those and hopefully didn't add in any unnecessary time gates.
As a player with 19 Alts, I would like add my two quatloos and also vote for account-wide unlocks on these sort of 14-Day Event Rewards. Of course I don't think my alts should get the Dil or Marks without running the event, but surely it would be acceptable for them to get the shiny new shotgun, Mirror Universe Hakeeve DOff, a new Admiralty card, or whatever else the next Event holds, unlocked account-wide.
Otherwise, I don't know that I'll have the time/patience to play 266 times over the next three weeks. I didn't with the last Mirror Event. Which hurt my OCD, but I only had time to play it once a day on my Main. We'll see how this goes this time...
You can find/contact me in game as @PatricianVetinari. Playing STO since Feb 2010.
Account Wide Unlock" Miracle PLEASE. There are many player's out there that have a lot of characters that we do play.. I have about 60 toon's and I personalty do not have 10 to 15 hours every day to run the event on all my characters.
There really needs to be an account wide unlock for every event to be fair to all ..
Also it would be great to see the rewards for the missions re-enter the game it has been far to long ( Shard of Possibilities, Ophidian Cain, Breen and Reman Boff ) why have we not seen them come back it has been about 2 years now.. Anyway i am sure there are many in the game wishing for the same...
I remember running it in a DSD on my Lvl 50 toon when it came out (before I knew how to run a sci ship) and wow was it tough..I eagerly await its return..if nothing more than a few cool demorecord runs
I remember running it in a DSD on my Lvl 50 toon when it came out (before I knew how to run a sci ship) and wow was it tough..I eagerly await its return..if nothing more than a few cool demorecord runs
Me, I had fun in my T'Varo, blasting away at vital targets before disappearing into the darkness again. Ought to be just as fun in the Defiant.

the multiple paths was more a matter of Jim goes left while Slar goes right. It wasn't a choice, it was just basic coordination.
If done right it was pretty quick actually.

Thank you for bringing back this Que; you have no ideal how big the uproar was over it's removal last year.
However, in my honest opinion, that Voth Citadel Dreadnaught ship should her an actual ship, not just an Admiralty card. Should also be account wide (no one can spend all day grinding on a computer game, especially if their's more important stuff going on).
make a group of non-afkers problem solved
you do know how big that ship is right? you thought other big ships turn rate sucked imagine this one plus you could fit the entire Romulan fleet in that ship with room to spare. no this is to big of a ship for a player to control I hope it never comes to be.
Oh boy no chance at all I do that with 9 toons. If I feel like it I pick my 3 romulan/kling chars low on cards and torture them through.
Problem is just I don’t feel like it, I mean it’s the breach…

Preferably without an accompanying catastrophe like the 'event ship exclusivity' thing, but yes.
Perhaps it would be wise to approach this from multiple angles, though - it's easy enough to ignore the forums, but put it up elsewhere as well, make sure it's not buried in all the other commentary...
Infinite possibilities have implications that could not be completely understood if you turned this entire universe into a giant supercomputer.
As a player with 19 Alts, I would like add my two quatloos and also vote for account-wide unlocks on these sort of 14-Day Event Rewards. Of course I don't think my alts should get the Dil or Marks without running the event, but surely it would be acceptable for them to get the shiny new shotgun, Mirror Universe Hakeeve DOff, a new Admiralty card, or whatever else the next Event holds, unlocked account-wide.
Otherwise, I don't know that I'll have the time/patience to play 266 times over the next three weeks. I didn't with the last Mirror Event. Which hurt my OCD, but I only had time to play it once a day on my Main. We'll see how this goes this time...
You can find/contact me in game as @PatricianVetinari. Playing STO since Feb 2010.
There really needs to be an account wide unlock for every event to be fair to all ..
Also it would be great to see the rewards for the missions re-enter the game it has been far to long ( Shard of Possibilities, Ophidian Cain, Breen and Reman Boff ) why have we not seen them come back it has been about 2 years now.. Anyway i am sure there are many in the game wishing for the same...
Thank you for your time

Me, I had fun in my T'Varo, blasting away at vital targets before disappearing into the darkness again. Ought to be just as fun in the Defiant.
