revtoiletduck posted:Is it easier to make 90 million credits or 800 lobi crystals? I think I need that jem'hadar dreadnought some day, even if it sucks. Start hoarding credits. Set up a couple of Klingon alts for marauding and turning in contraband for Dil, then turn that into Zen for Keys to sell. Depending on your amount of free time to turn in Contra every 4 hours you can rack up some [non-Wesley] wealth in a relatively short time. PWE is pretty good with offering key discounts from time to time as well if you're patient, and the price of Zen will come back to Earth once they introduce a new holding. Before too long you too can know the serenity that comes from the feeling of condescension while pugging some queue in a Dread with pissbeams and Elite Bugship pets while they struggle and die in poorly fitted Galaxy-Xs

Is there anything craftable that isn't BOE? With the pubbies desire to A. See numbers go up and B. Undercut each other via the exchange I'm not seeing a real season to start using time or dil to craft.

Servicio en Espanol posted:Zen prices were at getting to 160 earlier this week so 154 is actually looking quite reasonable. They spiked with the key sale but have been around 154 for a while now. Doesn't look like a lot of people are looking for Dil to craft with.

Asimo posted:Yeah, the ultimate problem is that I suspect Cryptic (or PWE) was expecting the crafting update to be a huge draw and sunk a lot of time and effort behind the scenes Going by the exchange prices, it doesn't look to be doing that either. Some people are rushing through, but once exchange prices crater (Thanks pubbies!) there won't be much of a reason to rush, or even do it at all. Crafting wasn't just a big undertaking by the devs, it was something PWE has been pushing for since they bought Cryptic so I'm curious what plan B is if the new "content" doesn't meet zen projections.

CrushedWill posted:Unless I'm missing something, there is no incentive for them to update past lockbox ships and every incentive for them to not offer an upgrade. Introduce a Galor T6, and all Galor T5 owners will get instawood to have the latest and greatest. In addition to taking the hit with confidence, it's a missed golden opportunity to introduce some Zen/Dil/Time sinks to upgrade the fleet of ships most people are carrying, and maybe, just maybe improve some shitboxes like the Galaxy that have been left behind in the power creep or fix some layout options on ships like the Defiant. The devil will be in the details since all the designs they've shown so far look like rear end, but they'll piss off the whales if it's nothing more than just a "Rebuy all your poo poo again!"

Acer Pilot posted:Was worried when some random guy PM'd me and tried to friend me. That dude who wanted a Gallitep mission found the Bijor missions and gave me a poo poo load of money. A pubbie who isn't terrible!? Who would've thought! When he does make his triumphant return to the forums you need to make sure to point out he did pay out more money than most pubbies will ever see since even the mods there were asking for screenshots of his assets. Then for added mind blowing make sure they know the money went to a filthy Dental even though the guy had no idea before handing over the EC. Not an edit: I also made the list and I too don't even recall the last time I interacted with pubbies.

Asimo posted:
Yeah, I'm not getting how this is supposed to work, the costs to upgrade a single ship to Mk XIV, let alone go Gold is nearing Wesley high, and aren't most pubbies kinda poor? Even if you open up the wallet for Zen/EC/Dil you're looking at whale level spending just to gear up to get......less reward? When the Devs said PWE was pushing for a crafting revamp since they bought out Cryptic, I'm assuming this is what they were after but short of just making GBS threads dil at players I don't see how they can roll this back.

The advanced queues just aren't pugable from what I've seen. Just for shits and giggles I tried a mirror advanced and 2 minutes in it was just my hide attack noob flying around a swarm of HP sponges while the other scimitars and T6 ships were all unconscious. I'd love to see those completion numbers separated out from premades and pugs.

Cyberball 2072 posted:Yea, anytime I think I know something and run it by chat or the thread I'm either out of date or just wrong. Going by this thread and what I've seen on reddit I'm begging to think only 3 or 4 people actually give a poo poo because the game is tuned for autist/ERP scrublords who slot universals for tac consoles and poo poo mines and boarding parties everywhere. Now more accurate. You can out DPS most pubbies with an NX-01 if you know what you're doing so why put in the effort to min/max? I think I liked the game better when it was just Elite Taskforces between rounds of extinguishing perverts in Drozana, the Asian F2P Grind poo poo really hosed up what little game there was.

Asimo posted:But PWE is absolutely incompetent and is trying to force a deceptive and abusive mobile game/asian MMO system into it in hopes of getting the gambling addict whales. Somewhere in the planning stages they seem to have left out that their game, and almost all of it's population just isn't good enough for that. Most nights I can't even be bothered to log in to turn I n contraband, what's the point?

Asimo posted:To be honest the game will probably linger on for a while. As long as there's dedicated whales dumping obscene cash into blatant money pits it will lumber along until the license expires in however many years. Whether it's playable in the interim or whether Cryptic will be allowed to fix it is another matter, since holy crap the population has dropped like a rock. Hopefully they'll get Star Wars Galaxied and a new game will spring up in it's place. Does anyone know how long the license with CBS lasts? Also, does anyone know exactly what the Omega upgrade kits are yet?

Well after everyone else got it, they were the only ones left. It really is unbelievable how quickly the game has done a 180 turn to poo poo, it's kind of an achievement all unto itself.

SKY COQ posted:I wonder if the game would be better served by s different developer picking up the concept and setting it on the JJ era. Wouldn't that require Paramount to get in on the action as well since the movie rights are theirs? If the 3rd JJ movie is an improvement on the last STO may be the last time we ever see the original ST universe aside from Netflix. Hopefully PWE looks at the numbers and the responsible parties get Old Yellered before the game tanks that far, a lot of us already walked away once after launch due to the flaming lack of any sort of endgame, it's not like the game is unfixable- they just need a new direction asap.
