  • Ditto what he said ^^ - same problem...
  • HAHAHAHAHAAAAA - Craptic fixing something, only for it to get even worse than it was originally.. What a surprise and nothing new there then... The sooner they fire their current programmers and replace them with qualified personnel.. the better :rolleyes:
  • You guys are so missing the point. And you are so missing the point for two reasons: Number 1) you are focussing over-and-over on the fact that I based the post around epic items... The ridiculous upgrade costs do not apply to just epic items, they apply to getting anything above mark 12, and they apply to any kind of…
  • bro - it is pay-to-win, because in STO you can pay, and win.. simple. A game that is not pay to win is somethin like Eve Online or World of ******** - where you simply cannot short-cut the skill training queues, no matter how much RL money you want to put into the game. Its impossible. Everything you need to be successful…
  • Wow - he really had the tenacity to state that..? So he is exactly saying that it is fine to rip off our players because we need it to keep our company alive...? I think that is disgraceful sentiment and I actually find it infuriating. Cryptic clearly have some very simple but very key business lessons to learn: Number 1)…
  • Im glad you did well and had a successful run ;-) However - I take from it that you probably PvP'd during the daytime when the more hardcore PvPers are not on. There is simply no way that in current STO PvP you can regularly be successful using mark 10 gear.. let alone common.
  • I think you are focussing on the 'epic' element too much.. when I first tried to upgrade gear.. my honest first thoughts were how ridiculously expensive and consuming of diliithium the process was.. The only way I can put it is - to me it should not take 10-20 tech upgrades to up one level or 1 run at a quality upgrade…
  • Just so I'm clear - you don't think the upgrade system is broken,.. or needs fixing..? (just interested, as I know for a fact there is a significant number of StO players who feel that it is)...
  • Sure - you have really got to grips with the whole intent of my original post, and responded in a helpful way that relates to discussing whether or not the upgrade system is broken. Thank you so much for your efforts, but please dont troll, and keep this post on topic. Thanks in advance. (and I actually said you need…
  • Ladies and gentlemen I give you the sterotypical guy who thinks he knows about PvP because he has played 10-15 games before but actually has never done well at PvP and so does not play it anymore, so does not really understand what it takes to be good in PvP. Now stop trolling, and please keep this thread on topic. Thanks…
  • I dont really need to answer this because you clearly aren't an end-game player.. but I will.. I, for one do it because I PvP in this game, and to PvP in this game (as anyone who has pvp'd in this game will undoubtedly confirm) you need to have the gold standard of gear to even stand half a chance of doing wel.. But even…
  • having used the upgrade system now to upgrade many items (including quite a few to epic) - I can confirm that the current upgrade system is sh*t and faaaar too expensive and thirsty on dilithium. As a quick example - note ALL OF THE BELOW ASSUMES YOU HAVE A TIER 14 ITEM ALREADY AT UR: (if you dont.. which you wont... then…
  • Just a suggestion - when you remove and replace the zero-point module, try waiting around 10 seconds while you are looking at the stats on the ship. I have noticed sometimes that there is a delay before the ship stats will update when replacing an item that affects something like crit or accuracy. It may not work but worth…
  • Looks to me from your image that you are getting the set bonuses.. because the text 'Tactical readiness' and 'mask energy field at the bottom are shown in white. If you werent getting the bonuses these should be greyed out. You can confirm for sure by right clicking on the item and scrolling down to the set bonuses at the…
  • Just to add to this.. its not just capture and hold i am getting the error, its every single arena. Also.. gettin rly annoyin now im up to level 59, and i have put a great deal of time and effort into building and setting up my ship for PvP. Just had a game for example where i scored 24 kill, 1 loss showin as my personal…
  • bump up to top
  • Being as they could not implement a working patch in five and a half hours of down-time yesterday, that was planned for 2 hours.. I wouldn't hold out much hope on this being a 'quick fix'...
  • Cryptic are laughing in their back pockets all the way to the bank right now. THEY DONT CARE about customer satisfaction. Their game is play-to-win and they get plenty of us mugs (me included) throwing money at every little damn unlock and pay-to-unlock feature that they are, I can assure you, raking in some HUUUUUGE…
  • Ye - and after that Star Citizen soon around the corner ;) Maybe Cryptic will have to wake up when they realise all of the players on their servers (which isn't a huge number anyway) have deserted them... or they might not 'wake up' and they might find its simply too late.... Roll on Star Citizen and Elite Dang ;)
  • STO is play to win. Always has been and that's all it ever will be... But yes - Cryptic get bucket-loads of cash in their back pockets from players for all the stuff you have to buy in this game, but they do not spend enough of their HUGE profits back into the game to keep the players happy.... unfortunately.. its called…
  • Wow - they are REALLY taking the servers down to get 4 more Christmas event rewards at the end of tides of Ice>??????? Yes - you read it correctly that's a grand total of FOUR more Christmas rewards (i.e. 1 or 2 sleigh bell things, 1 green bobbly thing, oh and ye a pink fluffy thing too) - all of which reach a grand total…
  • Hmm.. I think you are defending them a bit too much there. With all the requirements to buy stuff that this game has ($5 for 10 more slots in your bags, $8 to train some new skills.. just for example), I think it is fair to say that Cryptic are getting more than sufficient money in their back pockets to ensure simple…
  • Well okay.. maybe i am raging a bit.. :D
  • Lol im not a nerd, and I neither am raging. But of course you are entitled to your opinion ;)
  • Liar liar pants on fire..!
  • Censorship At Its Best!!!!! - Good Job Craptic!!
  • 3 and a half hours to load a bloody patch! ... in peak time too!!! This one's right in the nuts!
