Thanks
I'm on PC.
Not being in the US...when is Black Friday this year? (it would be ironic if it was the day just after the elections heh)
November 27. Always the day after our Thanksgiving, which falls on the 4th Thursday of November.
And I guess it depends on how many characters you plan to have. If 1 then LTS is a huge waste. You could get a lot more stuff 'a al carte' for that $200. If >1 I'd go tally up what value each toon would get from the LTS and see what works out better.
Now if STO started giving a daily key like Neverwinter, then there'd be a very small chance that a LTS could pay out nicely. One lucky lockbox could get you a few hundred million EC.
...enormously eroded the buying power of the monthly 500 Zen you get. When this started, 500 or 1000 Zen would buy something. Now Cryptic has their hands out to claw Zen for everything... buyouts, the new bundles, Mudd's store. Ships that are in the $150USD range. The amount of things which cost Zen has increased, as has the unit cost. Drastically. The value of 500 Zen a month in the context of the game really is nothing.
BTW, has anyone else noticed that the "Discuss this on the forum" button on announcements which used to take you directly to a thread to discuss that topic now just takes you to the forum in general, and not even the STO forum. They want to look like they welcome discussion without actually welcoming discussion now. Probably because there's not much good to say about them any more.
Sorry, I'm soo not in this world lol but it makes my pops happy so I'm trying to hook him up without him knowing I'm paying so much lol
I cant seem to get answers anywhere and I dont understan a lot of the jargon.
Thank you.
It's got to be done within game and it is platform specific. You'll have to buy it on his account when he's not there, as it can not be 'gifted' via the PS Store. I think you should be able to buy the Zen needed in the PS store as a 'Gift' if Sony allows that function, but it needs to be used during the discount phase if you want it cheaper.
Its been like that since the start of the year at least ( I have only been playing since mid February ).
Great sentiment! I don't think the Lifetime Subscription (LTS) is such a good value anymore, & as I stated Cryptic has offered it for cheaper, but if he enjoys it that is what matters, but consider the cost too. Also the LTS for pc is separate from consoles & I think each console type is separate as well. From what I've read console LTS doesn't receive the 500 zen monthly stipend neither. Good luck upon your decision.
It is correct that Consoles don't get the stipend, as a result, it's far cheaper on Console, and with it being in the Z-Store, it can be acquired for FREE if you grind out the Dil (and play the DilEx), which I did on XB. I have to explain often to other players on Console that reasoning, when they question why they don't get the stipend.
You had to necro a thread to contribute that pearl of wisdom?
