Too true. It's why I have the mics turned down when I'm playing. You want to gripe? Cool, but my tax for you doing so is that you have to reach for the chat and risk sucking yourself. Lag sucks, we all suffer it. And sometimes you can come out of it clear across the map.
The optional cry baby stuff is ridiculous. The thing is that no matter how you slice it, your optional maybe tanked, but here are your options: finish it, get some marks and dilithium put afk and wait longer to finish the match than it should take, or bail and get banned for an hour. The obvious best answer is to finish…
Thanks for the guide. Question for anyone... I'm using an assault cruiser with 4 beam arrays (including the Mark XII Romulan beam array that doesn't leech power when i fire in tandem and 2 Mark XII plasma beam arrays from the rep store), so would it be better to use AUX2BAT or AUX2GUN as engineering powers, assuming the…
The Veteran Screamers are the worst. Personally I hate being the power house in an event. It's a lot of pressure and if everyone else had worse equipment than mine, we'll be less efficient. There are a few man vet types, though. There are the ones that bought their way to victory and that's not so bad. Sometimes maybe…
Personally, while most of my profits come from DoFFing, I'd hate for Mark XII equipment to be available that easily. Mark XII is the pinnacle of performance, and really it shouldn't be as easy as pulling the right DOFF. Consoles can eventually amount to some major performance impact, and then the whole system becomes about…
I probably won't use the rep system on my other characters. I have 5. I'm almost done with the Omega rep, and the Tholian rep and Romulan rep are done. The thing is, I don't really mindthe rep system or the grind. It's there to keep prestige gear out of the hands of every toon out there. This way that prestige equipment is…
If anybody needs to be the 4th faction, it should be the Cardassians (real Cardassians, not True Way Cardassians). I'd also maybe think it'd be funny for it to be The Ferengi, but only if it's really funny. I'm crossing my fingers that it's a tactical side ship for the Feds. The carrier would be beyond my wildest dreams.…
Thanks all for the new toys. I didn't expect the Rhode Island, but I can still thug it up. I'm thinking maybe putting the Tholian weapon set on it (dual cannons, tholian console tholian mines?) I dunno, either way, it's got some potential to be a real sleeper hit. The Phallanx... Dude, that console! If today's patch was…
Did you buy them from the Exchange? If you did then those weren't account bound buys and you'll have to buy them again on the Exchange from your Romulan Toon.
I don't doubt that Cryptic is as all about the money as a videogame that gives it's primary services away for free can be (they kinda hafta be). However, frequently when you're looking at your game markets and economies, a lot of it can be counter intuitive. Take this week: look at the Zen market. It's gone up in relation…
I get your thought process, but think like a drug dealer for a minute. A good promo guy always will. So here to Christmas is going to be a drop in sales, right? But maybe if you give people a free taste now you might get an increase in module or Zen sales if you meet people half way. So the mentality, to me, wouldn't be…
Ha ha! Perfect! This'll add some variety to those small craft missions, maybe get some more folks sticking around in there. Thanks for the freecraft guys, it's very appreciated! Okay, if we're doing both a Klingon and Fed ship tomorrow, my guess is the Advanced Science Vessel refit and either the B'rel refit or the…
So... Do you just get stuff to lord over other players or do you get it because you actually want it? Here's the thing, these items are a give away for newer players and they're really not much of a giveaway. It's nice, sure, but these are appearance items that don't affect game play. If you really wanted the command tunic…
Seriously, Klingon guys... If you're not pulliing down 4k dilithium/day through DOFFs alone, (that's a little less than 40Z/day) you're ignoring a major part of the Klingon advantage. In less than a month, you should be raking in more than enough to buy all the Zstore from just DOFFs alone. By comparison, my Federation…
See, I'm definitely looking forward to a new ship. I just more or less finished my Reman set and I'll be done with the Romulan weapons set by the end of the week and I really needed something else to gnaw on. So this week might just be saving me a lot of time.
Hey guys... You're all getting bent out over $5 or a couple weeks of grinding DOFFs everyday for 15 minutes tops to aquire the prize here. Meanwhile, on the other hand, you're going to have 3 days where you're pulling down 3 free ships (well, a fighter/shuttle and 2 star ships). Klingon guys, I have a Klingon Character,…
