Around noon ET (17:00 UTC) on Tuesday, January 12, we’ll release Grudge as our fifth anniversary avatar! She'll be available for all Captains having been with us from the very beginning. Newer Captains will have to wait until their game account turns five.
That’s only the first part of our celebration, stay tuned for more details about what will come next.
Well, I stayed tuned. I wonder when the announcement for "more" will be?
I took it as a reference to the Dabo sale and Klingon collection next week.
I really like Luau Paris. FWIW. He is a much better crew than Seven in silver and Bones. I love the art. He is a good crew, just not a game breaker. He will be used frequently since Paris seems to be featured in events like twice a month. Lol
But I was searching through old posts on reddit and I came across the 3 year anniversary post. I wasn't looking for that, but there is was. I read it out of curiosity, just to compare it to this year, since my current disappointment was compared to the 4th anniversary. I thought it would help bring me back to reality.
So the third year anniversary celebrations included Seven in Silver, a two part special event, a portal update and EPSIODE 9. So... even comparing this year to the 3rd anniversary is a bit of a let down.
A change to packs and a dabo sale is much less than a portal update and an entirely new episode being added to the game.
It's a shame the new feature wasn't ready just a little bit earlier to feel like it was part of the celebrations. You know what would have been nice? In a way to try and connect CD to the coming feature, they could have given us some of each new game currency. Useless for now, but with a nice message and wink, it would be a gift towards the future and helped get people excited. But I guess that would be a pain to program early.
Underwhelmed. We didn’t get an honour sale, crew slots, crew giveaway etc
Would’ve been nice to have been told to save credits for a Dabo extravaganza. I periodically use mine up once they get to about 50million. On the other hand, prior to honour sales, I used to always spend up my honour on citations as soon as I got to 50k. But nowadays I hoard it for honour sales as is the norm. Seems hoarding credits might become a thing too.

Despite the (few) goodies we got, it feels like "same procedure every week". The only feature that could change that is a new event type. But not the usual button bashing one, that won't do much. It needs one with either a more strategic approach, or one where fleets/squads compete against each other. Everything else will not change the boredom.

I can see Tilting Point tilting. Can anyone else?
