At this rate they're really going to need to up the daily refine limit or they'll uh, "start" hemoraghing the player base.

If they make it like reasonable like a few hundred dil it wouldn't matter too much, but I do not like trying to live in the land of rainbows and unicorns. So I know it will be poo poo and most likely insanely expensive

So I know it will be poo poo and most likely insanely expensive Which goes back to what I just mentioned on the goodwill that's been pissed away. There's a whole lot of systems that could have been awesome improvements with costs that would have been mostly ignored or overlooked because they were overall net benefits to the game, but now nobody wants to look at changes like that. All the focus is going to be on the costs involved, the random chances, the potential tedium, all that stuff. It's just depressing to watch, especially since PWE totally earned it.

If they gave us more expensive disco balls that couldn't be nullified... It hurts to dream such sweet things.

I'm jumping on the "gently caress this game" bandwagon and gonna go play Firefall instead. Their F2P system is similar to STO's before it went to poo poo, but better.

Way ahead of you folks, I got my Q photos and stopped logging in. You just know the next step is going to be that the tailor costs you dilithium too. The pubbie roleplayers are going to love that one.

It used to cost a pittance of EC to modify costumes which they removed so I wouldn't put it past them.

Hey they could resurrect all the minigame ideas. Minigame every time you enter a system, or open contacts, or start a mission. With a handy dilithium fueled "Start now!" button.

Nah, it's sort of on the edge of the cliff right now, glass of whiskey in one hand and loaded gun in the other. At this point, maybe Cryptic can step back and fix what's hosed up, or maybe PWE is just going to have it pull the trigger and take the plunge. Be interesting to see either way.

We talked about this a couple pages back but it seems the sum total of responses to Captain Smirk's community winter event was a whopping two pages of snark. http://sto-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=1342751&page=2 Assuming the population is in freefall I imagine whale-squeezing will be the immediate fallback as they attempt to shore up revenue. Better strap yourselves in, this bullet train only goes one way.

It's ok, its not like they've ever discovered any of our previous initiatives unless we explicitly beat them over the heads with it. Repeatedly.  paywall is too rich for the average STO pubbie anyway.

In other news, the Dyson ground battlezone has seen some stealth changes. Having tagged two of the rexes with the usual several shots and ability spam before moving to the third, I only recieved 5 dil each for the previous two and full credit only for the one I was actually at.

I've long thought they should just make all the adventure zones into battle zones (kobali battlezone is trench warfare, nukara battlezone like an actual bug hunt, defera battlezone a horde/king of the hill kind of deal, etc) because yeah both battlezone is the closest thing to actually fun ground content.

I actually simply dismissed my Vulcan first officer and copied everything about her to a new purple quality one, which was sad as she had everything I wanted, just everything was an uncommon level instead of a purple...and she lost her place beside me on the character select screen. Very sad as she is my character's wife. How broken are these people?
