And as I pointed out above, people's RL commitments may have prevented them from spending in the sale until the very end... My own circumstances prevented me from doing so, because although I was able to log on all weekend, I wasn't able to do the necessary banking until after my dental appointment yesterday morning, due…
It's not about Black Friday, or Cyber Monday, or when those culturally-dictated price-reductions occur, but a case of Cryptic's offer running for a set time (which they gave the time-frame for) and for whatever reason, the server went down unannounced, meaning that people who were trying to make transactions were unable…
Precisely... It's not even so much a case of them having an obligation to provide an extension to the offer, but a decent company would acknowledge that circumstances (essentially of the company's causing*) prevented people from accessing the offer withing the original timeframe, so they extended the offer to provide that…
If you're going to quote me for the sake of discussion, please do so completely, and don't try and put words in my mouth... I never said that anyone's circumstances merits them getting 'special considerations'... I said: Some people will have had things to do over the weekend... Some people will have had things to do…
And if someone has only just been able to get round to making their purchases due to other circumstances? Genuinely missing out is one thing, missing out due to a premature and unannounced server outage cutting the sale short, is something entirely different... ;)
Absolutely, but that is the contemporary culture, and the target audience to which Cryptic cater, so they should be aware that stuff like this needs announcing clearly and plainly... I was logged on till quite early this morning, and thanks to several crashes, had to relaunch several times, but I never saw a notification…
F2P or LTS, we still 'pay for stuff' (I've dropped 6100Z on just one ship, and however much on other ships, BOFF spaces, Aenar and Borg, etc) which is money in Cryptic's bank account, so yes, we do all pay for this game, and deserve the courtessy of being treated like customers, rather than being lead round by the nose…
I figured it was maintenance due to the day and time (bit pissed about it, as I suspect I'm now going to miss out on 25% off thr Excelsior refit... Such is life...) but, they really should have someone respond to the thread to confirm/deny... You mentioned that this is a business, and businesses exist to make money: Yes it…
I'm not 100% sure, but I think so, either Quark's or Martok's... Something like that... :D All my other Klingon characters* (with the exception of K'Gan**) have full family names, but not knowing B'Ellera's, I borrowed a leaf from Sander's example with Naja B) *Including an Orion girl who is has been adopted by the…
Oh for sure, but there's a thirty year gap between Nemesis and STO... A lot can happen in a year, let alone thirty :D I figure if the game can I figure it could give a daughter, even if an unacknowledged one... Perhaps Worf's introduction of B'Ellera was just the pride of a mentor in a fine student, but I dunno, I think…
The funny thing, is that when I first signed up, I had a very definite idea of the characters I wanted to use, then my PC blew up, and I wasn't able to actually play, but I kept writing... As I wrote more, new characters came through who were a better fit for the STO narrative, so I used them (and now I'm playing, new…
I haven't flown the Endeavour Class, but in my experience of the Archon Class, no, I don't think it's worth getting... If you like the look of the Archon or Sovereign Classes, then go for it, but if you simply 'want a new ship', I'd recommend the Yorktown Class instead, as IMHO, it's better, and much more versatile in how…
Sweet :D Is that beams, cannons or turrets? I just figured the Kool-Aid build might help turn a less than satisfactory ship, into a tolerable one for you B)
Not much help with the cloaking issue (which reminds me of a similar furore I remember from a watch forum about ten years ago*) but, have you tried loading every weapon slot on the ship with a Mk XII Polaron Turret, and loading two BOFFs with tactical team I and cannon rapid fire? (If it has two available tac seats, of…
Nothing to do with your post, my man :D I just figured that sometimes it's better to be kind, than to be right, and my response to the brony wouldn've been particularly kind, so I thought best to just leave it be B)
Two points: 1) The OPs level of return interaction on any of their threads, ranges from minimal, to non-existent. They strike me as someone who starts a conversation, reads the answers they want, and then feels no further need to participate, with even a 'thanks, that answered my question'... I may well be wrong, and to…
