Delta toon re-run?

lexusk19lexusk19 Member Posts: 1,407 Arc User
Pretty please? Let us have a Delta toon event again? A Re-run if you will? Never realized you had to make one for each faction so im missing like 2/3s of the rewards. Q.Q

    Was there some unique account unlock for each faction?

    I made 2 delta recruits, fed and rom, but no KDF. I was under the impression it was just some dilithium or EC if you did them on other factions, but only one was ever needed for the unique account-wide rewards.

    @alcyoneserene I believe it was just some extras Marks and/or Dilithium for the associated Klingon missions.

    The Delta Recruitment Event was pretty decent for a 1st attempt. While the rewards were not as good as Temporal, there were also fewer objectives.

    An exclusive KDF recruitment event and an exclusive Romulan recruitment (not running concurrently) would be nice. At least it would entice Fed only players to give the other factions a try.

    I missed this event completely. I am hoping they will put the paradox thingy and the other unique items in a future phoenix prize option.

    I missed the temporal one by from what I understand it gave better long term rewards in the form of upgraded gear.

    The paradox corrector is fine but thats about all I use from the delta rewards, not counting dil/marks.

    God no, i hope they do a cool new recruitment thing. Temporal was better than Delta by a big margin and I hope the next one is even better still!

    It's time for a KDF recruitment event!

    Klingon/Fed Officer Exchange Recruitment Event.

    Didn't play sto back then. Wouldnt mind a chance to get delta unique rewards for my account (must have the presssisoussss) even if it would mean i wouldnt get the delta dil stuff i wouldnt mind to get acces to it. 3 chars (kdf/rom/fed) with a bit more flavour in story line would be nice.
    To bad i missed it, but never had it, so i can never miss the shinnies.

    I actually enjoyed Delta recruits much better than the temporal event. The temporal was overated and did not like the story tied in with TSO. IMO they could have done a better storyline tied to current events or other timelines. It was perhaps rushed and not written well.

    If they bring something similar Im sure there will be something different similar like Gamma recruits or whaveter storyline they might be working next. I will be surprise if they bring up either older events anytime soon.​​

    the unique stuff in pheonix box is probably the best we could hope for. personally I would love it, if they made recruitment rerun weekend events a thing. even if only once or twice a year.

    if I stop posting it doesn't make you right it. just means I don't have enough rum to continue interacting with you.

    While I can see objects like the Paradox Corrector making an appearance in a phoenix box, maybe even traits, I severely doubt that unlocking the MkXIII UR will come along this way.

    I would guess a similar future recruiting event is quite likely, although maybe not this year (never say never though), since they probably want to get the console versions up to PC level, or at least closer. But you never know.

    I also doubt that Cryptic would be unhappy with a rising KDF population. They're not really actively promoting that, granted, but there's a saying about a gift horse.

    a gift horse that cost them an excuse for not doing things, I can very much see them being very unhappy. not publically of course.

    Of course, delta recruits never get informed about the state of the timeline when they log in so that's a welcome if undocumented feature.

    might be the best feature of all

    Except for the fact that they're already doing the only things they would anyway - including Klingons as prominent NPCs and releasing a steady stream of KDF ships. Granted they're only in cross-faction waves, but if they're willing to put that much effort in they might as well try to get people playing the non-Fed factions.

    except the ships are largely copy and paste from the fed ship, and for some reason the felt it was appropriate to do a major expansion with no cstore kdf or rom ships, without even the excuse of a new faction needing the focus. the npcs aren't all that prominent, the few that are, are somewhat questionable.

    they do the bare minimum they think they can get away with, to think they are going to anything else is asking for trouble. now I would love to be proven wrong, but I don't see that happen any time soon.

    The delta recruit was more to entice folk back into the game who had got bored or jaded by the delta grinding launch as its focus is on discovering that the iconians were the puppet masters behind everything wrong in the universe.

    If memory serves they even try and blame the iconians for the fekhiri turning up.

    I'd just rather see a faction agnostic run. I mean I made a KDF Ferasan and a fed allied Reman for delta recruitment, then a Vulcan for AoY.

    I mean being forced to make a fed was ok, since I did reman and Fears and for delta. Only thing that bugs me is ought to have been able to make Catian AoY captains.

    So if and when they do another recruitment drive I would hope for it to be as inclusive as possible to all aspects of the player base.

    Every time I look at the Intel officer that lets you claim Temporal and Delta rewards I'm reminded that there's a bunch only available to KDF, so I'm missing out on several thousand dil ore and several hundred marks per character. The only reason I might have to create another toon is if there's sufficient reward to do so; I've used all my toon slots and I'm not about to buy more just for the sake of it.

    making the business case is hte most difficult task needed before something like that can get a green light from the money-men, CBS, and Perfect World, so what is the business case for what amounts to a KDF expansion?
    No business case is needed. Metrics are all that matters. As long as a KDF themed event hands out rewards while players are AFK'ing it, the recruitment event will be a success.

    Alternatively, players like account-wide goodies. If the event offers account wide goodies, it should have plenty of interested participants. Especially if it is a "limited time" set of rewards. Cryptic has conditioned players to log in for "limited time" rewards.

    As long as the focus of a KDF themed event is only peripherally focused on the KDF, then it should be every bit as successful as the "competitive PvE" ques.
