Can we Please have a week with no event???!!!?!?
in The Bridge
I think I speak for many players who would very much enjoy a weekend off with no sending shuttles, no tap, tap, tapping and saving chronos and no ship battling. I heard that back in the day (before I played timelines) there wasn’t an event every week(end) just a free weekend to level up crew, relax etc. So would at least one week with no event be so bad?
Thx 😊

Others will come by soon to tell you no one is forcing you to play with a gun. But I know how it is to feel you have to participate. I did like that for around the first year and a half.
Exactly. Answers like that (saying no one is forcing you to participate) are condescending, dismissive and in no way helpful. It’s just a form of trolling. Everyone is different. One person might find it very easy to not participate and it won’t bother them. Another will feel they have to play an event and if they don’t, it bothers them all weekend.
That's a bit harsh. If any game crosses the line from fun to tedious, you should take a break. After all, there will be a new bunch of pixels next week. In the mean time, enjoy your life.
Very well put. Games are meant to be fun and enjoyable.
And no soup for you!
I don’t think it was harsh. I am not saying there shouldn’t be any event every week. That’s beside the point. I was saying that dismissive and condescending responses are not helpful, regardless of the topic. I don’t see that as harsh. It was just the response in this current thread that triggered me to say that because I see those types of responses all too often.
It’s all revenue related for DB I’m sure. They don’t won’t to let off the gas for a second. Even though I’m fairly sure that in polls before players have suggested every weekend isn’t what they want and can be very tiring and relentless.
How long before every event is a megaevent? Is it still mega if it’s more than 50% of the time?
Same here. I've got loads of old golds that need stars adding. I'm not going to waste citations on low end/old legendary crew that won't improve my roster but I will go all out in an event where I can add a couple of stars to them, like the Dancing Uhura and Obsidian Garak reruns. I'd love to see more of those type of events.
It is dismissive and condescending to assume people are trolling when they offer up free advice.
The argument seems to be basically that people feel pressure to play, so they play. That is the description of peer pressure, and in this very thread you have actual living, breathing peers saying that it is OK to skip an event if you need to. That is not dismissive or condescending, it is sound advice.
I'f they insist on this model, I would like to see something 'new' rather than the same tap tap tap monotony. Its far to easy to get jaded and leave imho.

You don´t loose or miss anything.
I´d prefer to have more rerun events. This would be good for new players, also for players which don´t have all the old characters (maybe only not FFed) and all others could have a weekend off or gets some honor.
re-runs ooh ooh ooh!
re-runs ooh ooh ooh!
Personally I'd like a few events here and there with no new crew, then I could complete the 50 or 60
5 stars that are sitting at between 1 and 4 stars currently without waiting months to build up enough honour to cite them and then realise that I have another 50 who are sitting at 1 to 4 stars
I can imagine how people would freak out though. Some people don't handle change well. Remember how the place nearly burned down when we stopped getting 10 shuttles per faction?

You will have to adapt, choose the ones you want to partake in and the ones you don't, the ones you will only go for threshold and the ones you go for rank.
I have no life and still Christmas was a super drag trying to do the event and the holiday commitments, It must be horrible for people who have children and responsibilities. Really and truly, DB can just wait until January to try to get our gift cards. CHRISTMAS IS JUST TO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Some people like playing over the holiday because they have time off work and such. I spent the time with my family instead and loved it.
If you are so locked into the game that you can't put it down for a weekend because something as silly as an event (which happens every week) is going on, then maybe you should seek help. Those are some serious signs of addiction.
I don't feel your post contributes much to this discussion and frankily, I think you are just trying to bate be into an argument...what people call trolling. So.... Have a nice day!
Unsure if you’re being serious about not believing that discussing addictive behavior in gaming is not “adding to this discussion” or just trolling yourself. Because I remember heated discussions just in the last few months about how loot boxes and mobile game design feed upon addictive behaviors as a profit mechanism, and indeed another discussion just this week and last week (in this very sub forum) about modifying shuttle reward boosts to keep people from engaging in unhealthy behaviors due to the perceived need to be competitive.
Scaling back participation, whether it is to just hitting thresholds or taking the entire weekend off, shouldn’t be that hard. If it is...please seek help from friends, family, or professionals. A game is not worth ruining your life over.
Disagreeing with someone isn't trolling. Gambling and gaming addiction are real things and this is a 100% serious post.
If someone feels a compulsion to play this (or any) game to their personal detriment, then I hope they seek help.
Peachtree's comment(s) intimates the same thing as much as my own post does - entering an event is a choice not a compulsion - of course a very tantalising choice with newer exciting/powerful crew but it is still the player's choice, additionally if they have found themselves pressurised by an obsessive "hard core" fleet - then they should look for a more relaxed fleet and there are plenty of those out there. The stt wiki fleet page would be a good starting place to look.
This kind of discussion has now, and in the past, helped curb my excesses. It is a worthwhile discussion. We do need to have some kind of self awareness to avoid getting into unhealthy habits, and while it can be confronting to be told our behaviour 'may' be unhealthy, it's worthwhile looking at that, and assessing it. They may be wrong but self assessment and awareness is a very useful trait.
I just want to thank everyone who is discussing this calmly and sensibly for bringing it to my, and everyone else's, attention.
