It was fine the way it was it did not need changing, the most you could make from it was 3.2 million a day and that is if you wanted to put a whole hour into it!
I always thought of this lol but then you could argue that the defending fleet put them selves in the way of the attacking fleet on purpose and would keep countering any attempts to avoid. This led on to me thinking that in reality a 3 dimensional border would be very difficult to protect and when they show the "Neutral…
EC Sinks do exist though. Buying items for star-base projects even from a tuffli can cost millions of EC. There is EC paid for transwarp for the lazy, I spend 18k on transwarp every time I go to do my rich dilithium claim unless it happens to be within the event. Personal reputation costs EC to complete, not quite as much…
Did you read my message completely I mentioned the majority of these. They would fall within inactive accounts, people who do not bother or even know about the forums as it is not explicit when you sign up that you are also creating a forum account. Also your forum account is created from your @name so you may have 10…
Did you even read my post I was not only talking about the tour I was talking about other stealth nerfs also more subtle ones that alone might mean nothing but coupled with some other future nerfs will equate to a big change. As for the Tour and my post it would not be naivety in fact my post is the opposite of naivety and…
You are naive to the extreme if you think this was a mistake, They have been seeing what they can slip in quietly and I can assure you this is just the thin end of the wedge there will be stealth changes that no one has even picked up on because alone they mean nothing but combined with other small changes down the line…
I have thought about the Inter-phase Cloak for a long time and if Cryptic implemented it right then it could be great. From canon it changed the molecular arrangement of the ship so that it could pass through solid matter. Therefore after the phase cloak was active the ship would be immune to any weapons fired, even heavy…
Yes but the point is this is just the thin end of the wedge, the devs appear to be waging war on the EC grind and eventually you will have to spend hours upon hours just to make a pittance
You must be joking that would require some kind of freedom of speech. We simply do not have that here. The United Nations Charter on Human Rights and ECHR have not penetrated the Ether of the interwebs yet!
I haven't run the tour seriously for well over a year, there are better ways of earning EC at the moment but only the truly dense will not realise that this is just the thin end of the wedge. If we let them get away with this then they won't think twice about the next nerf and it may just be something you care about next…
Cryptic you have seen how unpopular your latest Stealth Nerf was, do not insult us further by continuing to claim it was omitted by accident you tried a stealth nerf and it failed! Besides the trolls this is NOT! something that the community wants and we want it reversed! and a Guarantee that you will refrain from stealth…
Someone put the Picard Quote on here joking "The line must be drawn here ...." but it seriously applies. This is just the thin end of the wedge, if we let them get away with this without grief they won't think twice next time! We need to teach them a lesson they won't forget! Hot them where it hurts and they may just think…
The only problem it was causing is it was cutting into Cryptics greed, they must already have a phenomenal profit margin and people making 3 million from the tour once a day was not competing with that. Total guess work but this change will probably amount to less than 1% change to their profit margin because contrary to…
No not at all I was actually a founding member of a very healthy in game channel whose single motive was to help Newcomers and give advice. I am merely suggesting that methods are discussed somewhere that Cryptic does not have eyes and ears and people are free to talk without fear of an arbitrary ban! In fact I will set…
I would suggest people stop discussing their methods of making EC on here as you are just doing Cryptics job for them and they will be the next to be nerfed!
Come on people, we are not sheep we are customers and we have rights! This is exactly the same as you going to the Supermarket and buying a pack of 6 beers for 5 (Insert local denomination here) and then when you get home someone from the shop comes and says sorry we nerfed that product and taking two beers off you. You…
Without us the customers this game would be nothing, Cryptic cannot have everything their way. The Tour of the Universe stealth nerf should be the last straw for people they are making a concerted effort to make it harder and harder to earn things in game and it is now all culminating into one massive EC grind nerf. Next…
What I meant by this comment is that they never fix what people actually want fixing and then just go and ruin bugs that are actually to the players advantage. Totally lopsided
The answer against AFKers is simple, all you have to do is have a circle that flashes up three times throughout the map for 15 seconds on screen in random positions at random intervals. Failure to click all three or at least 2/3 in the area with the mouse means you do not get your reward. When the circle is clicked then it…
