Any chance for a %25 discount in the Lobi store as well ?

Deleted, wrong platform.

Yes, that was the wholesale pitch that they put forth . In practice, so far that "multi pronged approach" included : 1) Nerfing the T5 Rep Dil awards (changing stats on existing .txt files) 2) Currently, introducing a small number of BOFFS and Doffs (most of which were just changing stats on existing .txt files -- I know…

The market can't correct itself until new Dil sinks the size of new Starbases etc. are introduced . The game is aimed at generating enough Dil to build such multi year projects . When there are no such projects, but the Dil keeps getting generated, you get what we have now ... , with Dil flowing in far greater quantity to…

I've noticed last week that suddenly my screen / UI was a lot darker than before, and tinkering with the in-game & screen brightness didn't fix the issue . I noticed a thread on Reddit, but nothing since . I don't log in for as long of a periods as I used to, but I'm feeling the eye strain & considering just taking a break…

True . In fact, in "company speak" , they can be one and the same , as they're at times interchangeable on a spread sheet . What I always found ... cryptic , about Cryptic -- was that they often (often enough to pick up on) referenced 'loss of knowledge' about game systems / functions (Foundry, PVP, the original long Borg…

My dude, you've stopped having a convo with me , and started having a convo with whatever / whomever your mind conjured up . Or to put it in another way, you've taken two lines of text that I wrote + direct proof about what I wrote (from a Cryptic blog) and stated to read into them things that weren't there . I can only…

Yes , their favorite way of NOT saying this is "the talent or 'legacy knowledge' is no longer available" . You know, 'puff went the magic dragon' and such . :neutral: It's very natural. Happens at all the places. (not really) Here's Cryptic for you : Oh wait, i was wrong ... , they did manage to say 'resources' there ... ,…

Point taken. However ... This has to also take into perspective that it's a mid-tier game we're talking about and not a AAA title . For such a game to first allocate $$$ to create content, and then save $$$ by removing / removing support for / disabling content -- this points to one of two things : Either poor long term…

Yes, but can any of those games play ISA for the 100.000.000.000th time ? Didn't think so ! :wink: BTW, I'm sitting on 6K Zen (from the Dil exchange) , so that puts me about 120$ US away from the 10th Anni Pack , and I still could not justify it .
-
Makes me all the more understanding about "we have to cut / sunset X-Y-Z from the game" cuz we can't afford to maintain it ... . /s
-
Yeah , same here . I log in and mostly click buttons on 7 toons for Admiralty & Doff missions 4 teh Dill . That's what "Star Trek" has been reduced to for me in this game . Then maybe a couple of STF's if I have time , and log off . Long gone are the days of longer STF raids (the original BORG STF's) , or getting lost in a…

Care to offer a 'how to' guide ?

Few thoughts : Deal finalizes in the month when Cryptic cuts support for Win 7 & looses a portion of the PC player base . Good omen . One of the first questions to be addressed by the CM was "will STO be sunset" ? Great omen . But what do I know -- Gearbox or whom ever (do we have an acronym for the new owners yet ?) will…
-
Same . Win 7 , Gtx 970M , I7 .
-
Same . Screen turns black and the game stops loading before the Cryptic logo shows . Gets stuck on a black screen & have to Ctrl+Alt+Del to stop the game .

Hello , I've sent you an in-game mail reply . Thank you for considering making us your Fleet . -Aelfwin

Hello , Yes, we're still quietly humming around . My in-game mail might have gotten clogged up from the last giveaway , but I've backed up / deleted around 50 mails this morning, so you're welcome to try and send me a second mail if you'd like . Thank you for your interest , -Aelfwin

This digital hermit is curious as to how many games have survived long enough to require 3 OS changes / upgrades ? I'm asking since dropping support for Win 7 is STO's second such ... "choice" I believe they're calling it around here . With the infusion of Nu Trek & the new OS on the horizon , STO might out live Win 10 --…

You seem to know all about my PC issues & needs. You seem to think that I have not read this thread (and your repetitive arguments within) . And you seem to think that I offer no value to the Fleet that I'm in . So let me return the favor by repeating what I said before : It's been quite amusing to see those players who…
-
Indeed. True. That is also true, however neither I , or the person I quoted said anything of the sort . Indeed. But you make it sound like it's a choice between crossing the road now , or keep on going on this side of the sidewalk . Some choices are more complicated then others , and some choices "offered" are little more…
-
Right there with ya ... , with the exception of what you think of the devs . Win XP & 7 have been the golden age for this OS and this game . But at least it's been quite amusing to see those players who lose nothing , berating those who do . I would expect nothing less of this community .

K ... Who are the people who buy Zen and put it on the exchange for Dil ? Who are the people who have been doing this for the last 8-9 years ? If people reading this have done that ... you're welcome to speak up if you do this btw -- as I've been reading both here and in the various Reddit threads , and there is a peculiar…
-
From a long time player perspective it should also be noted that the Dil exchange in STO actually worked for a VERY long time (8-9 years) , in comparison to at least one other (newer) Cryptic game (Neverwinter) , where either the concept or the execution (or both) have failed a lot sooner . What can we learn from that --…

Except that there is a "supply chain" that Cryptic feeds off at the end of the day . Cryptic feeds off whales & spenders , whales and spenders feed off playing with casuals / non-payers in game . If this turns off the casuals / non-payers , who will now see their dreams of a Zen ship float over the rainbow and disappear --…
