The December 8th patch notes state "Added the Snowball Fight back into the event rotation." :) I haven't looked for it as I am not in the game yet today.
I used the Phoenix pack upgrades last night on many of my toons. I think the promotion ends tonight. It seemed like I spent less dilithium on the packs than it used to cost me to upgrade rare X to Epic. I'm not sure though. And by pure chance I got a Voth Bulwark :) It has always been expensive in dilithium to upgrade.
It seems like an entirely different race since the boost. I'm having to rethink my strategies so I don't end up on a hill or rock or get DQ. I was coming in 1st sometimes, but now I am just finishing most times. What I have been experiencing with speed boosts makes sense now with what most are reporting. So I just need to…
To me it seems the race is much faster since the patch. Even if I don't hit the power booster marks I feel like I'm going so much faster especially around the narrow part of the course. The first time I hit a speed booster I got DQ because I was unprepared and went out of control. I'm not complaining I just noticed this. I…
I am using the Paradox for my KDF sci. I find it is very good for that character. It is the best science ship I have flown with KDF. I had almost given up on that alt. I like the Rozenko hanger pets also. I have not tried to use any Klingon skins. I have been flying it with Reman shield visuals. It gives it a nice green…
I ran this event two times before the 20 hrs was up on 2 of my alts. That's when I started doing only 20 hr Doff missions right after each character does the event. It may limit my Doffing, but personally I'd much rather that than running the event and not gotting a shard.
They had a key sale not that long ago. I think it was the beginning of April with 15% off keys followed a bit later by a Zen sale. The Zen sale gave you bonus Zen when you paid real money. I believe it was in late April that there was a 15% bonus on Zen. Sorry but I am bit fuzzy on the dates. Maybe someone knows about the…
I opened a Na'kuhl Acheros Battlecruiser on Tribble and it does make more noise than any ship I've encountered. But I mostly play with the sound muted so it doesn't bother me. I hope it doesn't bother others when I get to Holodeck. I'm loving the ship btw. I am probably not even considered a very good player. I have all…
My method: If I sprint using the shift and "w" key the straight portions of the course and hit the space button and stop completely at the corners and then hit shift to sprint again straight I am winning every time now. Not a huge gap especially with the spider NPC but still winning. I just stay as calm as possible. Thanks…
I got a fleet invite to another fleet's KDF T3 spire this month. Ask on chat channels such as Club Noob and NoP. You can use the other fleets store. I believe the provisions come out of that fleets holdings.
I agree people with disabilities should be taken into account. The motor and other skills needed to navigate the course require a bit more than the regular game. I did not think I was going to be able to win the race, but fortunately with much practice I figured out how to win. I know some players have said in other…
As an addendum to my previous post, I finally won the race. I did it against the sluggish Breen opponent as a Catian. I simply hit the space bar to stop at the corners and spammed the shift key. Whew! I thought I never beat the race. Took 10 tries this evening. Don't know if I'm up for dozens more but, elated I did it.…
I used to have a lot of lag/crash problems. Since I have 100 Mbps and a replacement graphics card (Nvidia 580m) I have had no problems for a year. My computer is from 2011 and still runs windows 7. I did have a problem logging in through Arc for a long time and had to bypass Arc and load the Cryptic launcher directly. The…
I am having trouble with the race this year. I had no problems in previous years so I'm not sure exactly why. I do have neurological deficits which makes it hard to coordinate sprinting, rolling etc. It was so easy for me before. Maybe my health is deteriorating but, I hope not. I have won once just barely out of about 20…
I have a fed science Vice Admiral with a good number of marks packages sitting in my inventory. Does anyone know how many marks are needed if I choose Nukara Marks to reach tier 5 and get the web mines? How will season 9 affect these packages if I leave them in my inventory? I don't suppose the Undine rep marks will be…
I use a tactical character with this ship. That is mainly because that one has the bug ship so I can use the attack ships with it. I find its survivability with the M.A.C.O. set or adapted set fine for PvE. I use a high end RCS console with it as it is very sluggish like most Dread's. I also use the hyper- plasma torps. I…
I have won 11 out of 14 of them mostly in tactical. They are like other RA's if the group knows what it is doing it is not that difficult. My first try was a disaster. I don't know why the Tholian Alerts haven't been fixed yet. I imagine it puts a lot of people off with all the trouble getting in. Please fix them!
Tholian Red Alerts can be frustrating if I can't get in them quickly. I have managed to be in 14 of them since they started. If I am looking for a Tholian Red Alert I jump from instance to instance until I find an alert. They often happen a few at once. I then keep trying to enter the same instance even after it has kicked…
