Folks, you know what, next week we're going to celebrate over 1000th crew in the game.
And for future crew milestones, we'll come up with a better approach.
That bit at the beginning of the game where Q says "...time is no longer an arrow, but an infinite expanse of possibilities.." You could have used that as an excuse! The first card released was also the thousandth, the thousandth the first, the thousand and third is the thousandth - there are no firsts or last when time is so mucked up!
Fun coincidence. Felecia Bell (who played Jennifer) and Anthony Montgomery (who played Travis) were both on General Hospital, albeit not at the same time. Granted, a lot of Star Trek actors have shown up there, including Tim Russ and Walter Koenig.

Okay. No offense meant at all to you. We understand that you are the meesenger. But, whatever spin the company makes on it, Jennifer Sisko is still going to be the actual 1000th Crew. Ben apparently said on Timeline Talks "We try not to be too specific about upcoming things" and then apparently immediately said "MACO Mayweather is going to be the 1000th Crew".
It's just another thing for people to observe that the company didn't get right. So, people are going to observe that. Easy fix? Add Mayweather to the Cryo Vault before the Tuesday Pack dropped. Even if he is not being celebrated until next week. We know people can be added a week ahead of time. The Event Crew are now. I wonder why the obvious solution to the error never occurred to a single person in any of the meetings.
I'm not trying to sound harsh to the company. Just pointing out that there was a simple way to avoid the incident.
Thank you, Shan, for being our liaison with the company. Sorry they keep handing you messes!

Only a week after the 1,000 crew is added to the vault.
I think the general point is that for years now DB and TP have said they’re going to revise their processes to avoid needless problems like this. And yet it still keeps happening. At some point, people aren’t going to take anything that TP says seriously. We’re about at that point.
While this comment responds to Shan’s, it isn’t directed at her specifically, but rather a general observation.
They also guessed every series before Enterprise, because Enterprise is the redheaded stepchild.
What gets me is they monitor these forums. They know we had calculated roughly when we would get number 1000 and no one looked at their schedule and noticed a discrepancy.
Even with a non-iconic crew, they could have hyped it a bit more, if done right. Plus, if he's A pack too, why couldn't they just switch them? None of today's crew were from episodes having anniversaries today or now abouts. They can be for any week.
TP= Turn and Pivot...Bait and switch...Mistakes happen and can be laughed off and forgiven. Incompetence... Incompetence should live hard and die harder.

Or realize that the #1000 was coming up, and that they “committed” to Mayweather, so instead of having Beach Dream Jenny as this week’s 6-pack card, go with MACO Mayweather instead.
Again, not that the 1000th HAD to be Mayweather. It is just that he was announced as the 1000th. And sometimes you have to take a win, no matter how small. When you have taken 3 bad beats in a row on the river, sometimes you just need to take down the blinds with your pocket kings just so you can scoop a pot. No matter how small that pot is.
Unless he is going to be the 1500 crew next week. In which case, yeah. Stuff happens. You can’t fix that one. I get it.

That would be a lot of new Crew in a week to make hm 1500!!!!!
The only reason people expected MACO Mayweather was because specifically announced he would be so. He could have just as easily have said "We are approaching the 1000th Crew. Expect something for that milestone." Then, when they messed up the count, they could have easily built up hype around Jennifer Sisko today. And zero players would have ever have known.....

Exactly. It is almost like this situation is really just a parenthetical exclamation point after his statement that they try to avoid giving specifics about future happenings in the game.
“We don’t want to give too many specifics because things can change and the community then gets upset because what we said didn’t actually happen. For example, watch what happens here... [the whole MACO Mayweather thing]”
Unfortunately, "we'll come up with a better approach" can easily mean "we won't say; it'll be a surprise" in the future. I don't think that's an improvement for the players. And, honestly, if I were TP and getting a "damned-if-we-do-damned-if-we-don't" response, I'd go with a "damned if we don't" approach and not say in the future. It was all presented as likely, not a certainty, that it was Mayweather; parse Ben's words all you want, that's how it came off to me. We do know this Mayweather is coming, which isn't bad. So, everyone, please lay off; stuff happens, which we know, and circumstances dictated a change. It is what it is.

So, did he say "MACO Mayweather might be the 1000th crew", or "MACO Mayweather will be the 1000th crew"? Just curious.

Doesn't that give you a little pause as well? That TP, and the guy at the head of the conpany, doesn't understand their own release structure well enough to be able to give with certainty a confirmation of what crew will be released, in what order, just a few weeks out at a given time?
TV shows usually have different production orders vs air dates. Production wise, Mayweather was the 1000th but per the air date, it was Jennifer Sisko. It can't be changed and it was done today without much fan fare (we all waited today at noon est to see when he would drop and surprised he didn't).
It's over and done since no acknowledgement about her today. So it will seem weird to announce a random character that is number 1002 next week is the actual 1000th.
The issue here is people are extra sensitive about the error last week and it proves even more baffling to ban players when errors happen all the time in the game. We would have let it go, now we are extra cautious and can't take the game at it's word. It happens and hopefully growth can happen from the lesson.

Not really. But my job is in government/politics, so taking life with some amount of grains of salt is necessary to get through it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
You realize the more you guys complain, the less WRG will want to tell us in the future? This is why Ben said they won't release a roadmap of enhancements. And if announcing who the 1k crew will be and then having a math issue causing a new controversy, then they won't even announce who the 1500 crew will be.
Personally I'd rather WRG continue to share information and recognize that **tsk tsk** happens, than complain about every hiccup and cause them to stop sharing information so they can't be wrong again.
So their promised 1000th crew isn't the 1000th crew, but they're still planning a 1000th crew celebration next week, despite the 1000th crew being added today???
Maybe I'll celebrate my 5th birthday later this week too... calling a thing a thing doesn't make it that thing.
I suppose it's just another bug or broken promise...

I honestly don't care that it changed, and I don't care if it's Jennifer, Mayweather or a minor background character from a random episode of Voyager. I do care that they added a new feature to the game and weren't able to figure out that it screwed up their math, seemingly until the forum called them out. And I care because it's one more thing that speaks to more systemic issues.
If they had come out ahead of it with Shan's first post in this thread, I wouldn't have minded one bit. It would've been an amusing anecdote. But instead, it feels like they the only reason they're aware is because Shan read the forums during her lunch.
It's possible they did figure out all of this week's ago...but then, communication hasn't exactly been their strength of late, has it?
Jennifer (our Jennifer) finally in the game. And she is the 1000th crew member too.
Too bad she didn't survive Wolf 359. The story of her dying in 2366 and Ben and Jake living years without her is one of the saddest stories in fiction.
Who can forget the Prophet insisting "You exist here. It is not linear." and Sisko breaking down. "No, it's not linear." and admitting he hadn't learned to live without her.
There is a song I love where the chorus says:
"I'm gonna smile my best smile.
I'm gonna laugh like it's going' out of style.
I'm gonna look into their eyes and pray that they don't see...
that learning to live again is killing me."
It always makes me think of Sisko.

We didn't change our minds regarding who the 1000th crew would be.
Having the event crew announced and visible one week in advance muddies things a bit however
Now this is exactly why we can't automatically say "that's a bug" when a Buy Again button appears on a pack that was previously announced as a one-fer.
There have been errors in messaging, or something unintended or not thought out comes up that appears contrary to the messaging on a VERY regular basis.
It's not reasonable for us to assume that "Buy Again" was wrong, because on several other occasions that announcement was wrong or inadvertently became wrong.

I'm sorry, I need someone to break this down for me, I'm not following the numbers logic.
The problem is event crew being released in the preview screen early? By that we're meaning Punk Rocker, this week's 4* threshold and 5* ranked rewards? Because they were already in the vault but not available?
So pull them out, Jennifer Sisko is 997, but this week's event cards will STILL be available in game before Maco Mayweather is, whether they were released into the vault early or not doesn't change the number alignment?
If Maco was released TODAY then I understand how the preview hub screwed up the count, but in that event he'd be #998 of what's "available" (except once they're in vault they're fair game for the Dabo appearance anyway).

I think Punk Rocker makes a much beter Crew No. 1000 anyway. 'Bones' set the standard for special crew to be a bit memeish, and Punk Rocker certainly delivers that.

Sure, but this is the sentiment that results in the devs saying nothing beforehand.
If we want to get the occasional preview of what's to come, we need to accept that some things may change.
*Adjusts glasses* If we're going to be pedantic, only legendary and super rare crew appear in dabo.

There have been errors in messaging, or something unintended or not thought out comes up that appears contrary to the messaging on a VERY regular basis.
It's not reasonable for us to assume that "Buy Again" was wrong, because on several other occasions that announcement was wrong or inadvertently became wrong.
I'm sorry, I need someone to break this down for me, I'm not following the numbers logic.
The problem is event crew being released in the preview screen early? By that we're meaning Punk Rocker, this week's 4* threshold and 5* ranked rewards? Because they were already in the vault but not available?
So pull them out, Jennifer Sisko is 997, but this week's event cards will STILL be available in game before Maco Mayweather is, whether they were released into the vault early or not doesn't change the number alignment?
If Maco was released TODAY then I understand how the preview hub screwed up the count, but in that event he'd be #998 of what's "available" (except once they're in vault they're fair game for the Dabo appearance anyway).
Common Core Crew Counting......
😄😄😄😄😄
I think Punk Rocker makes a much beter Crew No. 1000 anyway. 'Bones' set the standard for special crew to be a bit memeish, and Punk Rocker certainly delivers that.
