More gambling boxes for today's giveaway (5 phoenix boxes)

Tuskin38 · « **Reply #5681 on:** January 27, 2020, 01:40:16 PM »

well it's $30 for one T6 ship, so $300 for 10 is right. They probably threw those 10 ship slots in there as an excuse to make it an even $300 instead a discount.

And considering if my theory is right, 5 of those ships are lockbox/promo ships. That's actually cheaper than trying to get all 5 individually.

Like the DSC Connie alone has a value of $300, if you consider buying and selling stuff off the C-Store as 'value'. Same with the T6 TOS Connie.

The prices for these bundles are pretty damn steep though.

Agreed. Anyone who thinks 300 dollars for what's suppose to be micro transactions is somewhat reasonable or justified, is certifiably insane. I'd just assume go and buy 5 random top tier AAA games instead.

Then do that. No one is forcing you to buy them.

Just don't insult other people over their purchasing choices (unless it's loot boxes, because fuck loot boxes and anyone who spends a silly amount of money on them)

I'll be buying the cheapest pack with the day one discount, depending on what the rest of the ships are. But if my theory is right, it's worth the price for the Connie's alone.

I'll be buying the cheapest pack on day one.

In this instance, I fully stand by my "insult" that you and anyone else who choose to spend 300 dollars on ships that are suppose to be "micro" transactions, are in fact... certifiably insane.

If you only spend 30 dollars for the cheapest pack, then you are merely a sucker (one is born every minute they say).

Cryptic have never been shy about overcharging for their content. They'd make the Ferengi look almost like the No-Currency Federation by comparison.

EDIT: I stand by all of the above. I stated my opinion on the matter, and that is all. If people feel offended by it, so be it. Not my job to care about special snowflakes.

Will you two please stop squabbling like a married couple.

Both of you are entitled to an opinion....

However no one should be questioning peoples purchasing habits. They can determine the value and the amount they want to waste on anything.

You're off base here Nebula. I was not "squabbling like a married couple". I stated my opinion. Tuskin chose to openly disagree with my opinions, and even reported it. I've acknowledged that people can do with their money any way they want, but I stand by my assertion that I believe people who spend so much money on something so, quite frankly "idiotic" is in fact insane. Period, and of story. If this comment warrants yet another report from Mr Snowflake, so be it.

I think this discussion has gone on long enough. I made 1 comment on the cost of the pack of ships, and Tuskin chose to feel offended by it.

Owner of the website here. I do not give a rat’s ass what you think. Stop, or I will lock this thread! Final say.

That goes for everyone involved

DT, dude, you’re letting him get under your skin again. Don’t. It’s not worth it.

Tuskin: dude, I don’t want to have to come in home with a report over every single comment DT makes that you don’t like. Is it harsh? Yeah a little, but to be fair, not everyone has that kinda money to spend. If you’ve got that kind of money by all means do it, but just know, I do agree that $300 is steep.

This is what's wrong with today's culture, people can't keep a civil discussion and feel offended by everything.

If I'm being honest on the subject I feel that it is insane to spend a huge amount of money on a game. BUT then again I spend my money elsewhere and I'm certain that other people would find that insane so we could go full circle.

It's silly to think that people who spend 300$ on a game are rich, when people really enjoy something they'll spend as much as they can afford on something at the expense of other things (again human nature).

Now everyone, please keep discussions civil or you'll face Jimmy's wrath.

eclipse74569 · « **Reply #5689 on:** January 27, 2020, 10:27:55 PM »

Exactly why I chimed in Mario. Believe me, it will become civil or I will either lock the thread or delete it entirely and any topic started on the subject immediately removed. Jimmy’s wrath shouldn’t be the one they fear!

Patch notes for tomorrow's 10th anniversary: https://www.arcgames.com/en/games/star-trek-online/news/detail/11357853-pc-patch-notes-for-1%2F28%2F20

EDIT: Should note that they mentioned two new missions in the patch notes yet we have yet to receive any actual blog post about them so hopefully we'll get that tomorrow during maintenance.

They did say during one of the weekly live streams that they wanted to keep some surprises for the actual anniversary release. So I imagine it will be after the maintenance.

I must have missed that part of the stream then.

The anniversary is live

A couple of the new skins can be viewed in the ship vendor menu. Warship Voyager, the Defiant with the nose art AND a new Constitution variant named Jefferies which looks to be the Phase II concept.

EDIT: They're replacing the rifle reward from Measures of Morality part 1 with 7 of 9's dual rifles that deal tetryon damage. Would have preferred it if it dealt phaser damage.

Bridge officers will also be able to wear the borg exoskeletal frame outfit as well.

Warship Voyager: https://www.arcgames.com/en/games/star-trek-online/news/detail/11364733

Was hoping the warship voyager would have more than the standard 3 fore weapon slots but oh well.

That leaves the last 2 ships to be revealed, the TOS Connie and DSC Connie.
