People will burn cites for new Spock and new Spock/Kirk next week, and the following week will have the sale.
Then we will have multiple threads of how upset people are because the sale came after they bought cites.
lol, you are so right!
Honestly, they should just have one more honor sale. Tell us a month in advance when it's going to be to reduce the saltiness and then promise to never run another one again. Anything else is unethical at this point considering the amount of stress it all causes.
I honestly don't care about the honor sale myself. I still have a ton of citations from the last one. But I can recognise other players frustrations.
I agree. I’m expecting them to nerf the honor sale anyway, then afterward introduce another new 100k character in the honor hall who’s a beast.
I remember the first honor sale came on right after I’d saved up and bought Khaless. Grrrr. After that I hoarded it until the next sale, and now I’m sitting on a stockpile... waiting patiently...

Please dont say that, I'm not sure we could survive another massive drama of them changing the sale.
It's all a waiting game - patience will (eventually) pay off. I have been saving up since the last sale (haven't bought a cite in over a year!) and with about 600K honor sitting in the bank, when that sale does eventually show up, I will be spending honor like dollars at a cheesy strip joint.
(not that I've EVER been to one...)

The Honor Sale will come, it will be unannounced, we will not know if it will be the last one, and almost certainly afterward something will come up like a fancy new Honor Hall card or a new card that people will want to cite up, so we should make mental preparations for all of this now so we are ready. We should also NOT pre-emptively spend all of our hoarded dilithium, merits, and credits to "get ready" for the Honor Sale, these resources do not expire and you may not want to have spent them after the Honor Sale occurs.

Not to mention they’ll probably update the portal shortly after the Honor Sale, just long enough for the Sale to not be ‘fresh’ in our minds. Of course they’ll come with pop up offers to buy packs after people liquidated their banked packs scrounging up more Honor.
They don't owe us an honor sale announcement in advance - though they did do it as a courtesy to say it would be in March. They don't owe us future honor sales, or an announcement that there will be or will not be honor sales going forward. You can play the game the way you want. Hoard, do not hoard, semi-hoard, whatever!
You’re right, they owe us nothing. However the flip side to that coin is when players are unhappy for whatever reason, it’s much more easy for players to say we’re not spending. I don’t even really care anymore as the last six months has made me forever free to play. I’m sure there are enough devoted fanboys to keep the coffers full.
It would definitely be nice if we had a roadmap of everything that was going on in the future, but I don't foresee that happening. We get some warning sometimes, but not always.

Ben specifically said that they didn't want to provide too much of a road map because they didn't want the game to become predictable to players.
You know, the same game that has a Mega Event every other month, runs events Thursday-Monday every week, releases a new pack character every Tuesday. That game. Don't want that to become predictable.
The idea that a loose road map/look ahead would provide some much needed consumer confidence in the developers apparently wasn't a consideration in their mind.
It’ll probably be honor for rarity and skill constellations anyhow lmfao. I need a few more common and uncommon ones to go along with my human stockpile.
Starting on Tuesday, March 23, at noon ET (16:00 UTC) special offers and packs will be purchasable on the main interface and in the Time Portal respectively.
Both will refresh daily at noon ET, and will be available until Tuesday, March 30, around noon ET (16:00 UTC)!
- Special Honor Offers: these offers will allow you to purchase Honor and a 5* citation. They will each have their own purchase limit.
- Special Packs: these packs will be purchasable with honor, you'll be able to choose between 3 different packs to get 1x 1/5 crew among crew currently available in the regular packs from the Time Portal!
Pack 1:
For a price of 10,000 Honor this pack will have no purchase limit, and will grant you 1x 1/5 random crew (no behold).
Pack 2:
For a price of 10,000 Honor this pack will have a purchase limit of 1 a day, and will grant you 1x 1/5 Behold (a choice between 3 crew).
Pack 3:
For a price of 40,000 Honor pack this pack will have a purchase limit of 10 a day, and will grant you 1x 1/5 Behold + 1x 5*citation.

Something like would be nice, communication is key to how people can organise themselves.

Looking at my current priority list, I'll be able to FF eight crew with this (more if I'm lucky with begolds).
