I think DPS chasing is fine to a point. But having to grind or buy newer and newer gear to stay on top is boring and honestly a waste of money. After a point say hitting 50 or 60K most elite ques become accessible. and if you have a few friends who do similar damage becomes profitable in earning research mats etc. For me…
Beware: Lock boxes are a scam. Everyone knows it and i'm pretty sure cryptic and PWE know it and thats why you'll find that devs or community managers or whoever rarely ever (if ever) touch thread like these. As others have posted above be very cautious of this game as there are lots of dirty little tricks hidden around…

If this is ZEN from your monthly and dil earned by grinding... i wouldnt feel too bad on spending it on anything in the game! However if this is ZEN you spent rl money on make sure that before get the 5k zen for a 50 dollar ship pack peruse g2play steam gog and few others on great games at 50 dollars. If there is nothing…
As a f2p player Ive managed to enjoy " playing and repeating " portions of the game and mindlessly finishing parts I did not enjoy just for the solid rewards (this part is the GOOD grind). All games are like that at the moment and thats fine. For me personally the grind becomes BAD with the gamble/crafting like nature…
OP That would be a nice idea therefore I doubt cryptic will implement it. I suppose the hard work in designing new traits and skins justifies the price. Or that some if not all the value of the ship could be mitigated by dil refining.
All things being equal and those are a s@$t ton of equal factors ranging from captain career to traits to "skill respec tweaking" crit d 2 crit h weapons can get you into the 42 to 60k dps range. Anything more will require crafting vanilla stuff into ur or epic crit stuff ... on the whole the current system is…
I'm not sure what seaofsorrows said but... I think I see what you are saying here. It would be awesome that the wiz's of sto do something like that. Considering gear development will automatically develop over time with long term players of sto ... its fun to watch vids like this dont get me wrong, but a valuable lesson…
I'd have marked "all of the above" if u had put that choice in as well. Just to add started last year with 7 peeps with 4 more interested to start. I'm the only one playing now. Fleet I belong two atleast 56 active members ... Now down to 3!!!
Tempting but after a year of f2p ... few lvl60 toons and spending rl money partly mitigated by dil farming 200 bucks is too much for me. Sto graphics wise is already old gen lots of new options scifi wise coming up. Perhaps an in house kickstarter campaign to upgrade the game engine along with lts may have more traction…
I dont trust ARC at all. Prefer all money transfers through steam. Considering the few issues steam customer support has had steam is way more accesible than ARC.
Refined dil----> buy a new ship or atleast mitigate its exorbitant costs. I suppose that's why ship prices are so high ... Metrics maybe telling cryptic that most peeps ingame do have large resources of refined dil to mitigate their idiotic pricing so they don't feel any issue. unrefined dil> can be used to upgrade bound…
Considering the above why not leave upgrading all gear using unrefined dil (the r n g system in place in anycase mitigates this aspect from becoming an exploit in anycase )and leaving everything else using refined dil. Unless of course the largest dill sink is upgrading gear.
To subvert from actually spending real money on sto is a battle between patience and repetitiveness. the more patience and more repeats u can do daily the less real money u may have to spend. The sweet spot imo is 5 characters. Build rep on all five toons. This will take a while. You will enjoy the game on atleast two…
