Assuming my ticket for the Polywater Yar issue is resolved satisfactorily, then maybe that would be a nice gesture. But we’re a long way from that.
I would like to back you on that, but when you’re that outnumbered you gotta pick your battles

Deoends on how much money people spent. Many spent at least $99 and others much more. That money spent may have been worthwhile when yar was good in arena but after the nerf yar is nearly worthless and people are very understandably upset. Spend several hundred dollars on a pc computer then have microsoft nerf the processing speed in half with an update the day after you bouht it and see how you would react, especially if microsoft wouldnt let you get your money back.

PM for details.
So long and thanks for all the fish.
QA improvements or bust.
We should truly freeze any fully equipped crew.
At the very least, legendaries. I have at least 50 of them I never touch because their stats ain't nothin at 1/5.
People spend hundreds on an iPad and when Apple release a new OS which slows it down they turn around and buy another.

1) Yar - Just give her the same arena trait as Killy, this would really solve the problem and reduce most of the unhappiness.
2) Shuttles bring closure to this
3) Skirmish - Just admit this is still in beta phase as it's a new event type and they are looking at ways of making it more challenging, interesting, but also ways of making bonus crew more useful. But above all communicate this before the event goes live.
4) more beta testing and communication, being truly transparent and honest when it comes to these kind of issues.
I should think that would mend a couple of fences and probably provide enough offcuts to make noggins for bridges to be built upon.
There IS a difference. An iPad is something tangible, that you can keep, resell, or use as a paperweight. An iPad has components in it that have value, that cost Apple money to produce with every single one. To a certain degree, it still retains a bit of scarcity.
A DIGITAL "character" card can be replicated infinite times, and has no value other than to someone who wants it. The cost was a few hours of their art and character development department's time. After they recoup that cost, they could literally keep selling that card FOREVER for absolutely no extra cost to them. The ONLY thing that gives this value is whether WE believe it to have value.
Even worthless money can still be used as toilet paper - STILL more useful than digital cards.
I was responding to a comment relating this to MS nerfing a computer with an OS upgrade and I simply pointed out this is pretty much the Apple business model
Apple sells you a product that cost them resources to produce. It's a tangible amount of silicon, metal, glass, and it was carefully machined in a facility. It has value. Plus they are only able to make a finite amount of them. Even if you don't use it anymore, it still has value. (Side note, plenty of people in the world still use old iPads.)
This product is literally a digital copy of a picture and some numbers. They could copy it 100 billion times and it would only cost them a little electricity. The ONLY reason it has value is because we are willing to pay money for it.
My point is that it's not exactly a 1:1 comparison.
Again I was responding to a comment which was comparing the situation to a MS update nerfing a computers speed.
I was pointing out that far from complaints a company that does it is the most valuable in the world.
Other multiplayer games Nerf cards to rebalance the game. It happens a lot and it isn't worth throwing your toys out of the pram over
I hear ya, my friend. Actually in defense of Microsoft, they're pretty good. It's the evil empire, Apple, that makes phones slower every year so you'll go out and buy the new one.
What is accepted and acceptable are two different things, many companies I know let a fair amount of time play out and listen to feedback before altering card dynamics.
Then you got some value out of the card. They don't deceitfully plan on nerfing the card the literal second it is no longer available for purchase. And they explain and show the game play reasons for the card's balance changes. And when recent they offer compensation or trades.
DBs handling of Polywater Yar is a study on how to do everything wrong. Something you'd expect as a fictional situation in a business or ethic class as how to do the most damage and wrong possible.
Anyway... lets see some crew slots. Crew Slots! Crew Slots! Get your Crew Slots here!
