  • People have already talked about how it isnt a risk as long as you put in the right numbers on the buy/sell tab. One thing that i was always afraid of though is that i would put the wrong number in and accidentally sell a ton of my Dil lol. So make sure to just follow the instructions mentioned above and dont try to come…
  • You know all those news sites that say stuff like "EVE player loses 6000 dollar ship" and then you see people who have never played EVE saying stuff like "gomg how can anyone spend 6000 dollars on a game". See what these news articles dont talk about is equivalent costs. By that i mean if 15 dollars buys you one PLEX and…
  • When people turn IRL money into in game currency they do so expecting that in game currency to get used up dont they? I just included an STO example in there for reference since this *is* an STO forum but TBH STO has a crappy currency faucet/drain system. But anyways, like i mentioned in my other post (in the part that you…
  • You can play the game with a group of friends. Its like this line Sean Connery had in the movie "The Untouchables" where he was talking about gang warfare between gangsters and Elliott Ness' group of law enforcement people. They come at you with a knife you come at them with a gun...they send one of your people to the…
  • Yah if those people ever get sick of STO they should go play Elite Dangerous...i hear that game is awesome.
  • Yah, see thats the thing about being a Trek fan or a Star Wars fan...its not as if you can stop playing this Star Trek MMO and play that *other* Star Trek MMO.
  • Looking at all expacs not just AoY, even though that's all the OP was talking about. In Delta and LoR we got quite a bit more than we did in AoY but it was still free. If quest stuff, dungeons level cap raises and specs are our "apples" then lets say that costumes and ships are Cryptics "oranges" . Do games like Rift also…
  • What kind of stuff do other games have in their paid expansions? level cap raise, quests, dungeons maybe adventure or daily zones? pretty much the same thing that Cryptic is giving us for free? it seems more like we are getting a bag of free red apples, someone else is having to pay 40 dollars for a bag of green apples and…
  • When you've taken the same journey many times before *then* what becomes the point of taking that same journey yet again?
  • Just did some normal borg space STF after having been gone for a few months and yah the queue times are pretty long. How are they for the most current group queue'd content? i notice a few new ones in there but i dont know which ones are the newest or from the previous content release. What about adventure zones? last…
  • If Cryptic starts to charge for storyline/dungeon/adventure zone content then they *have* to get their descriptions right because if not then it would be misleading. That's like going to a restaurant and ordering a large soda that costs 5 dollars and finding out it only holds 6 ounces while their small soda costs 2 dollars…
  • Yah thats why i called it "content" and not content because there are people out there who do classify it as costumes and ships as content. The point of me mentioning those prices was to show what kind of stuff Cryptic DOES think is worth charging us for. And as other people have mentioned quests and stuff is not the kind…
  • Mobs that die are paused in the last animation that they did. I guess they liked how SWTOR's death animations glitched out like that so much that they decided to make it a feature in STO? I think that there are some animations where they fall down from a killing blow but they get up again and they do another death…
  • Ohh and also to add you might want to look at multiple F2P games to see what their standard is for paid content. Lots of games release cosmetic items and gear as paid content. STO has costumes and ships which are a combination of appearance and gear (well gear holder but w/e).
  • http://www.arcgames.com/en/games/star-trek-online/game-pack/detail/926-temporal-agent-starter-pack http://www.arcgames.com/en/games/star-trek-online/game-pack/detail/1315-temporal-special-agent-pack 20 dollars for the first pack, 130 for the second pack. But i get the impression that you are talking about neither of those…
  • They giveth and they taketh away...then they listen to everyone have to bitcheth about it.
  • Talking about the old loot system right? where the item dropped from bosses and you had to trade them in at the MACO place? haha i remember that. Lots of vet players mentioned running STF's for weeks and months and never getting that last item to drop that completed their set. I actually only did normal runs when the loot…
  • That isn't the only way for a noob to learn...
  • This game has public and premade queues and has 3 difficulties (previously 2). I didn't exactly specify which difficulties i liked to play in now did I? nor what queues i liked to go into. Or have things changed in the past few months that i've been gone and BiS ships and gear are now required for normal mode. And I *have*…
  • Not everybody is into building BiS ships with gear/skills/specs. I actually like building non-BiS ships with non-BiS weapons to see if i can get it to perform better than other people in better ships/gear. I do that in other games too...when people re-roll to a FOTM class i'll stick to a non-FOTM class. Not because i dont…
  • Well whether anyone wants to call 23c a faction or not doesnt matter to me. But it would be nice to see the 23c ESD get a bit more use out of it. It's a bit sparse though so they would have to expand upon it a little bit which of course will take dev time and resources. Also there's the matter of our character's fate at…
  • Hmm...playable borg cubes. With so many of them parked outside of ESD we could have ourselves a game of Tetris.
  • It would be much easier to have wingmen that doesn't involve your own boffs or ships. I've actually posted a suggestion about this a few times in the past. Right now we have the hangar and saucer separation mechanic right? well how about adding in a special hangar-like item slot to all ships that require Admiral-Fleet…
  • Its not the ship boffs or crews that will have "god mode" its the ships that they will have access to. Go watch a youtube video of 5 overpowered ships doing an STF speed run. Then imagine every STO mission turning into that kind of run because of a lot of players who have OP ships in their inventory.
  • This is actually something i've thought of in the past, i might have even suggested it on the forums. When you hit F to collect a soil sample instead of you doing it hitting F should be "order <boff name> to collect soil sample" instead. And just apply that same thing to everything that requires you to do something minor.…
  • All the belly aching about all the belly aching isn't going to stop people from belly aching either. So why dont you just let people belly ache all they want because there will always be someone who will have an achy belly.
  • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cxba2WjlN90 It looks like a D7 parked its bridge section all up in a Mirandas aft shuttlebay.

  • Hey who bumped this necro thread from a couple of years ago...oh wait.
  • So does this situation end with "vet players scaring off new players" or does it go on to include "but other players correct that idiot vet player and prevented new players from uninstalling the game"?
