I think a lot of the rising cost of lockbox loot is just a supply issue that could be alleviated very quickly with a suggestion that has been offered many times before: make the choice pack prizes tradable. Ships that are widely desirable are cheaper and sell quickly, while niche choices can see prices 50% higher or just…
Yeah this is a huge bummer. I regularly use the mail system to send out gear packages to help get returning fleet mates up to speed. Hope this gets fixed asap
Not surprised to see this bad decision being made, I believe that a relatively small percentage of players use the foundry, but the ones that do use it, use it quite a bit. Any chance you could at least remove the xp/loot limit for the last month so people can go hog wild playing all the content they'll never see again and…
So many wild, unfounded accusations in this thread. I'd like to invite every one of you lunatics to come down to Star Trek Las Vegas this year and find me. I'll buy you a drink and explain everything.
And that marks the official end of a Wesley Christmas 4. All prizes have been handed out and we hope that everyone that participated had as much fun as we did! For those of you who missed it, we've compiled a list of the costume winners: In a tragic turn of events, the first place winner overwrote his winning costume and…
Yeah, that was a huge problem. Also the fact that apparently there many people who don't know the difference between a promo, lockbox, or lobi ship. We'll have a new method for claiming prizes next time, for sure. No, thank you for coming! I can safely say our judges are experts, knowing the tailor inside and out, and…
The PvP portion was my biggest regret. We were given zero indication prior to the event that it would be so popular, then the event started and we had 300 people in the channel with most of them either refusing to watch the stream or ignoring the Announcement channel and just spamming X's into chat every couple seconds.…
Bridesmaid? By my count you won at least a ship, 2x plas leech, and a stack of superior upgrades. Not too shabby! Maybe you won some races too, but honestly after six hours of handling events I was too exhausted to pay attention to the races. I will agree, however, that there was a phenomenal showing of creative talent…
Costume competitions are judged in-game at the time of the event. I'm sorry if you cannot make it, but forum entries for these events will not be accepted. Only the screenshot and fanfic events are handled via this forum thread.
Good contributions so far, but I'd like to see some more! Less than a week to go now. Everyone is more than welcome to enter any and every event they'd like to.
All of the promo ships (sheshar, jhss, annorax) and the vonph are being given out as part of packs. The prize pool is clearly shown in the last link of the op, the ships in the top bank tab are what constitute the lockbox/lobi category.
Substantially more than that, but who's counting? This thread is for fun having. As for Dental... this is true, there is no favoritism at Wesley Christmas. For example, last year Starfleet Dental players only won 4 of 38 Trivia Questions, Zero Races, 1 of 4 Where's Wesleys, and 6 of 16 costume prizes. And that last one is…
The last one lasted... four hours, I think? We've tried to organize this one to actually take less time, but I'm just going to predict that with all the prizes and the zone cap problems, wrangling players will take longer. Basically, we'll likely still be going on by the time you get back! If you need insurance, though.…
This has ever been a problem. Last year we managed to fill four instances of DS9 before people gave up on trying to join in. Since then the zone caps have been reduced from 75 to 30, making things much more difficult. As a result, events will slightly overlap to give people different things to do and, as mentioned, we will…
We're really quite sorry its too late for you, but we tried our best to schedule a time that conceivably allowed the greatest portion of players to participate. Any earlier and it would cut out AUS players, any later and it would do the same to the EU base. In any case, we still encourage you to participate in the forum…
It's ok, we had a lunatic constantly ranting in the last event thread too, but we all still managed to have a good time. For the first timers out there, you can read last year's thread here. It's full of testimonials after the party. On a similar note, if you missed last year's party, an enterprising photographer took…
This thread has been quite illuminating. Who could have imagined there are people that spend copious amounts of time playing a video game, yet also somehow hate fun?
Definitely, I have friends and fleet mates all over North America, Australia, and Europe and on the rare occasion I avoid a mass disconnect I see it reflected in chat notifications, as people from all over the world get kicked. It doesn't seem to discriminate based on location, although I would assume EU and Aus players…
This is a pretty typical experience. There was a big thread on this in the German forums and lots of EU users have complained about this issue, but I made this thread to gather some evidence that it's not restricted to them. Tons of NA players have been experiencing this problem and it seems bizarre that its just being…
Really confused as to why you're eliminating the trading of commissioned officers. Is it a side effect of other changes being made or is it being done purposefully? I can't imagine there's a balance issue here. Can we get some clarification?
Wow, sounds eerily similar to an event held just last Saturday. And what generous prizes! I don't blame you for not getting back to me. I wouldn't be able to live down the embarrassment either.
Every season might be a touch excessive, but we may do another one before next year. The real problem is sticking everyone in the same location. We filled out four zones worth of DS9 with people, but since we can only really hold contests in one zone the rest trickled away once they realized they couldn't participate. The…
