Instead of focusing on compensation can you talk to the team about how this happens every event and we all know it will happen. The team needs to deploy enough AWS instances to handle peak load at the end of an event. After months of issues, no one should be surprised about crashes at end.
After months, they should have RESOLVED the issue.
100% agree. BUT, if you're leaving it to the last minute to try to climb those vital places even though we all know about these issues, then you've really only got yourself to blame at this point.
We all know WRG are useless, the servers can never cope with peak load and the game will stall/crash in the opening and closing phases of every single event. That's a given at this point, and while I'm sure Nancy will bring it up with the team tomorrow I have zero faith in anything actually changing. If it was going to improve it would have been sorted months ago.
So, knowing that all this is going to happen, why would you leave it to the last minute to make up those vital places?
Some of us are limited in our time available, especially in a long grind event, like a skirmish. We play when we can, which might mean having to wait until the last day to get points.
I also never used to have a problem with doing a good chunk of my play the morning of the last day in the past. There have been times when I barely started until the final day due to time constraints without any problems.
I've been a consistent top 1500 or better player for years using this strategy in skirmish and galaxy events. Never was an issue until recently with these server issues.
Your attempt to blame the players who count on the last hours is misguided. The event runs for four days. Why should we be punished for using all of that time? 🤔
I wasn't blaming the players, the blame clearly lies with WRG and their inability/unwillingness to support this game properly. However, given that we all know how useless they are, you have to plan these things differently than back in the good old days when the whole game wasn't being run on a shoestring budget.
Denying the reality of the situation isn't going to help anyone.

I think WRG should take the Romantic trait off both of them, but don't expect it until their trait overhaul comes through. Apparently they're actively working on it.
I'm not sure what exactly happened with the Q girl.
I know Beverly took advantage of a crew-mate who had never shown any romantic interest in her, because she loved the slug that took over his body.
So, I cannot say which is "worse".
Riker Odan is definitely worse since Crusher actually went through with it. Amanda Rogers realized what she was doing was wrong before anything actually happened, but briefly mind-controlled Riker to be in love with her.
Been a very long time, but I thought she had backed off pretty quickly.
The Beverly situation actually went on long enough for the parasite to almost kill Riker, IIRC.
Yeah, it was pretty quick, I just didn't remember the Odan situation at all, so when I drew Regency Riker my first thought was, "Oh, right, this scene! That must be what the complaint was about; it was indeed sketchy!"
And my understanding was that the Odan situation went on only as long as it had to until another Trill* got there, which was indeed long enough to almost kill Riker; Crusher didn't draw it out further. It's been almost 20 years since I actually watched that episode, though.
*asterisk added only because it feels weird not to
Crusher didn't draw it out further because Odan's new host was female. Her love for Odan was less powerful than her homophobia.
It's not a good episode for Bev, however you look at it.

Re: No Tuesday Pack/New Crew?!?!?
This is a a wild guess, but I'd suppose that all the new crew released via the Objective Event are standing in for pack-exclusive crew during January. There has not been a pack-exclusive crew on a Tuesday since January 2nd.
Enterprise C - SOOOO Disappointed!!
Was really looking forward to the new ship
What went wrong?!
Why is is it so shiny? From the top it looks translucent!
I watched Yesterday's Enterprise today & it certainly didn't appear like that! Why not the BD version?
Even better would have been the Concept design for the ship

Re: Enterprise C - SOOOO Disappointed!!
It does sometime change to not being shiny but I can’t concretely figure out when/why. I posted about it in the engineering section also. It really is poorly done. The biggest offense after the metallic finish is the registry font. Not to mention windows where there shouldn’t be windows on the rim of the ventral saucer. The green phasers it fires is another mistake. They really need to go back to Utopia Planitia on this one.
Re: 2024 Convergence Day Object Event - Free 1/5 of each crew just for fusing the SRs in each mega
The whole point being that for F2P players, 1 copy is enough for this crew.
Why I never cite gauntlet exclusive crew (that aren't voyage crew)

people still seem to don't get that this OE isn't 100% legendaries
Mr Homm, N. Thug & Migleemo are all purples. Take in the fact that the next 2 events involve community rewards & you'd have to put in very little effort to get th remaining 1 needed
so you are pretty much guaranteed at least 1copy of T'pol - who is gauntlet so you only need 1 copy anyway - Kashyk & Elder Saru
That WAS the standard for Gauntlet Crew. However, now a 1 🌟 Gauntlet "powerhouse" is going to lose constantly to the Immortalized ones, that people have fully Quipped.....
a 1 skill "1 🌟 Gauntlet "powerhouse" " can easily still fail to a 2 skill regular top tier gauntlet crew at high tier
You can easily have your own "powerhouses" if you research your crew. I know I won't be hurrying to immortalize her
Why wouldn't you? She has six collections, and as mentioned, she'll be clobbered by quipped copies of her.
2 of those collections are already maxxed out, the rest are nowhere next the next goal
I'd rather cite Lwaxanna, Tuvok, Sisko.
I'm happy with my gauntlet crew right now which include (muliti)quipped McCoy, Caretaker, Gary Seven, Balok, Bem, Laris& others
