Someone with 45 characters :eek: should be getting help, not giving advice.. and I really mean that..
-
If I would have know how the system (under the current system) worked all along this thread would never have happen for I would have just packed my bags & left..:P When I began the upgrade process there was no gambling involved. It only becomes a gamble at the end of the upgrade process which led to my confusion. I learned…
-
The problem is that as you implied, I've done the grinding & whatever... When you put in effort & get nothing that's where problem lies. What you see in the upgrade process is what you should get - it cost enough in effort (lottery, roll of the dice whatever you call it system is simply bs)! The new content is not easy. If…

I would but I hate forums regardless of the game. I would only come if I felt the need (hence lack of forum activity in the time in game.. - & it seems it's been longer than you). I've invested heavily in this game but I did as well in LOTRO (Lord of the Rings Online) & I was a monthly subscriber for years. To bad for them…
-
good point.. I don't go to forums usually I just play.. (I've been here longer yet have a fraction of your threads..), I was mistaken/misled whatever. As I've said throughout this post if you choose to accept the 'system' the way it currently stands it's on you - not me..
-
To all that have responded :D (Trolls & PW/Cryptic bots included..) thank you! I left last night when my post was on pg. 6 and am still in the process of reading what I missed. Regardless how you feel on this thread I'm grateful that other seasoned players have a shared similar sentiment as I on the upgrade system. Best…

I learned about the greens pretty quick.. & what bank to you rob to just upgrade with just purple..? lol! Got lots of mats. but very little purple except Trellium - so yes I can make lots of v. rare engineering tech (lv. 15 in Engineering Research now) am I any different than anyone else..?
-
I posted you a response but it ended up at the end of the list. See the # of post I have, forums is not my bag..
-
That 400k refined dilithium was spread over several panels (he's German - lost in translation) his highest rarity on his tac. panels is now 5%. He said it was 140k refined dilithium on the failed attempt to 'epic' - so my bad, the devil is in the details.
-
How about a better example.. If you do a duty-officer mission when it completes you know exactly how it came out critical success success or failure with so much literally at stake your aren't told anything in the upgrade system about the mission outcome. Upgrades at the lower levels are automatic at the top tier the rules…
-
Your pun hits the mark, but there are people who sell their online identity all the time.. I'd never do it.. I just hope they change the system to: what you see is what you get. The game can be very difficult at the advanced level missions (especially with say 4 pugs). I don't want top-end gear for bragging rights, or PvP…
-
I'm sure you'll get over it :rolleyes:, no :P & it was on my dime :cool: correction we are on pg. 4 now.. :D
-
The item he was trying upgrade was a tac. Phaser relay, what the rarity was my friend said he's not sure (speaking with him on TS) and after 18 failed stf's today he said he's probably going back for a while. He's an efficient German player, really not one to brag or embellish though.
-
the fault here was clearly yours, not the systems :rolleyes:[/QUOTE] Enjoy the system now turn your head & cough :eek:
-
Your reading comprehension is below par. My misunderstanding was a shared one with other experienced players & an STO GM. You get my personal best wishes on your next upgrade :rolleyes: lol!
-
You don't go to forums for compassion - I've been playing this game longer (or as long) than anyone piped up here. I see that everyone here like posting on forums a lot more than I do - I prefer playing. I had a misconception about game mechanics that others were experiencing as well & that a game GM didn't have an answer…
-
My friend who used 400k di to upgrade did 20 stf's today on 10 of his toons. 18 failures & he's a really good player. It seems these days everyone could use the help. He said after todays & recent events he's joining me on the sideline as well. I hope that was politically correct the way I said it..
-
What I wrote was that had a fundamental misunderstanding about the games upgrade system that other experienced players and even a STO GM did not know. Using a personal experience of a friend who dropped 400k dilithium (etc.) to upgrade a panel & it didn't upgrade - is something people should know & understand it as a…
-
Holy cow.. I've got an answer - tyvm! Friend sunk 400k of refined Di to try upgrade a panel to epic - failed.. Well they just lost me.. for good.. that is epic bs! PW / Arc whatever got a bit to greedy for me & I've been playing STO for almost as long as it's been out.. I'm going to warn others of the possibilities before…
-
There is a chance for a crit. which has happened on 2 or 3 occasions. I did not think it possible to completely fail an upgrade.. I'll break it down into a specific example if you have panel (x) which is a rare xiv. When you go to the upgrade panel it shows you what it should turn into (from xiv rare to xiv ultra rare). I…
-
Crystal normal & my entire teams dies repeatedly (me included) .. I'm no nub. Can do elite stf's short handed this is total bs.. Not doin' ****e mission till they nurf. Or fudge it - this TRIBBLE turns players off big time..
-
tries to update server x2 - end of message say contact tech. support - ummm.. 'Ground control to Major Tom'.. lol...
-
Says trying to update the server - tries x2... no go... Just tried again as I was typing...
-
Went around shooting Tholians & destroying their machinery which was fine. Don't forget to turn suit on before venturing out... I did :P (a better indicator that suit is on would be nice - hard to see helmet light in broad daylight...). For some reason came into Tribble server with rumble enabled but would still shake when…
