    Well the Pack sale isn't the best discount Cryptic has offered, but for any that don't have the patience & want a pack now buying it now is better than yesterday.

    I'm sure Cryptic won't consider, but I think a good added value for newer players that missed those Delta Recruitment & Temporal Recruitment events would be if Cryptic added (1) character per corresponding pack allowed to be a Recruit of that event.

    Now the zen bonus is always nice. I don't plan on buying anymore zen since last I played & looked my account was still jacked-up via my subscriber experience bonus, thanks Cryptic/Arc, but getting a bit more zen is always helpful.

    What I've never understood is why not offer a bit more bonus for those big $200. whales? Instead it is the same as the $100.. Then again, the same bonus is shared between the $20. & $50. spenders too.

    Was it those TOS holographic BOFFs? If so, that is a pretty good enticement. Besides, I think STO is so long in the tooth nowadays that Cryptic should consider implementing new innovative ideas to garner new players along with retaining current players. Since Cryptic/Arc jacked-up my account I only play during events mostly now.

    Was Mirror Leeta if I remember correctly. TOS BO's were for convention and from email for random accounts.

    That will likely happen during/just after the Summer Event, if I remember correctly.
    Now a LTS and loving it.
    Just because you spend money on this game, it does not entitle you to be a jerk if things don't go your way.
    I have come to the conclusion that I have a memory like Etch-A-Sketch. I shake my head and forget everything. :D

    I'm not seeing a discount on any packs when I look, nor any Zen bonuses. It's all just the same as always. Am I missing something?

    This thread says the sale is for pc. But the announcement is on console at login. I saw a few packs that are old ones with no new ships on sale. But zen is not on sale. I play on xbox btw.
    Does this seem strange or just one of those fun bugs we get to enjoy as mmo players?
    I should have been an entomologist. :D

    there WAS a post about a zen sale for XB1... but there were temporal issues with it and so it was nixed and had to go back to be resolved... problems with MS I would think, since they need to approve everything.

    That would make sense. Damn temporal issues, MS needs to get their timestream straightened out! Lol

    Is there supposed to be a bonus for Zen? When I go to the Holodeck to purchase, there is no Bonus there. PC player

    It shows up when buying in game but only for the Steam Wallet and I don't buy my zen that way
