Would you like more re-runs of past events?

{DD} Smelly

I'd love the chance to add stars to some of my legendarys. I think it would be awesome if DB had more of a regular schedule for re-runs. That said, I understand that the reason we probably don't get many re-runs is because they are less profitable for DB. So I'm curious, how could DB do more re-runs while increasing profitability? It seems like if they could find a way to make them more profitable and not have to write a new event nearly every week, it would be a no-brainer. We'd regularly get a chance to fuse up legendarys, DB would make money, and everyone's happy. But HOW could they do it? Tha't the million dollar question...

Yes, I'd like more re-run events.

Actually the thing that tends to **tsk tsk** on Reruns is a lot of the time (Not always) they swap in a new Legendary and keep the Purples the same. There are two notable exceptions in recent memory but those were the exceptions not the rule.

Good news is we seem to get one every other month right after the megas.

Yes, I'd like more re-run events.

I'd super-super love The Game's Afoot for a chance at Detective Data, but since it's a pure Expedition event, I just don't see that happening.

I wouldn't mind seeing a Gods and Masters re-run with Sloan replaced by someone else, either.

As long as they put a new Legendary in the pack along with the standard event crew, people would probably buy packs to chase the new crew.

For Cardassia

Yes, I'd like more re-run events.

Yeah, I'd like more re-runs. I only started playing just before Klingon Month, so I've missed a lot of characters I really want. A re-run for me not only means more immortalisation potential, but also the ability to get older crew I want.

I actually thought about that too. Maybe if they kept the Legendary the same but added 2 new super rares for the ranked and threshold rewards, while still counting the the original run's super rares as event crew in the re-run, then maybe they wouldn't have to take a hit on event pack sales. Heck, they may even sell MORE event packs that way, but that's just speculation on my part.

*EDIT* Maybe the super rares from previous runs could just count as bonus crew? That might actually be cool.

Could do with some re-runs, plenty of 1/5* sitting here collecting dust - I don't get enough honor everyday to take care of this problem

Arrrgghhh!!! I just spent 54k honour a few days ago adding the remaining stars to Trader Odo as I hadn't seen another copy of him in months.

I hope some Ferengi at DB takes notice of this poll... and uses it to exploit us for profit. Less work, more latinum.

Oh nice, a Odo and Garak centered event! I've been wanting Obsidian Order Garak for a long time too, not that I'd have much chance of winning a gold from the ranked rewards. I can at least save my dil for the event pack.

If they keep em both in. Might just be Odo and Troi.

Zann Calcore (ISA)

Yes, I'd like more re-run events.

It might would annoy some of the whales but I’d love to see some reruns, preferably with the same legendaries instead of new ones. For balance they could leave one of the super rares the same and one new one. I’m sure they’d be plenty of big players that would hate this but there are at least just as many if not more players that are stuck with a whole bunch of 1/5s and 2/5s that just need an event rerun.

Zetterbeard

Yes, I'd like more re-run events.

If they are gonna keep spewing out new crew, at least lower the price of crew slots.

Alternatively, just rerun events every now and then. It's clear that the majority would appreciate it.

FutureImperfecta

Yes, I'd like more re-run events.

Long long ago in a forum that preceded this one I came up with a solution for this..

Now I can't remember exactly how I worded it then, but release a new feature called "The Holodeck". And in the Holodeck, you can reply ANY event from the games history ** *

** Not Mega events, or Month long 5 removed
* 2 month buffer, so the newest event in the Holodeck right now if megas are excluded would be the event prior to the Mirror month I believe.

Predicted question : So.. how does DB make money off of this ?

We all get 1 Token per month for free in the dailies. If you want to rerun more past events there would be a cost for the Token.. 300 Dilithium.

They would also get income from added shuttle boost purchases and more Dilithium from Voyages from those running a Galaxy re-run.
Could even key the system to trigger a 1000 Chronitons for $10 offer if a Galaxy is selected.

Question : If you are picking the event you run and are the only one running it (of course), you're not competing against anyone.
So your and going to rank number one right ?
Why play another first run ever ?

Well.. couldn't have Ranked rewards clearly..
I would envision a giant threshold line..

Average out the points needed in the last 3 events of selected type to reach rank 800
That point level is your top Prize, one 5*
Do the same thing rank 1800 rank avg points for one of the two Super rares, 1300 for the other.

This Will Make DB money, this will make players extremely happy.

For example.. they came from the holodeck.
If run that again tomorrow after I finish the threshold from this Galaxy in not interested in..

(Events that have been re-run with an alternate legendary, put both versions up to play)

I'm running that twice.
That's my free token and That's 300 Dilithium..
That's me buying at least 2 packs of cadet tickets for more shuttle boosts (300 more Dilithium)

At least.
I could have bad luck, I may not reach Aracnia so that means I'm running it again.

The original Trouble with Klingons..
I need 4 more stars for tos Sisko..
That's 1200 Dilithium min, plus boosts ect.
If I get the goal each time.

Lol, Sell holodeck kits in a pop up !!!!!!

This is your special one time offer
Get 3 Holodeck Tokens
500 Dilithium
500 Chronitons
500,000 Credits
6 premium Shuttle boost 10x packs
Special one time offer only $14.99

Ace Boogie

Yes, I'd like more re-run events.

I’m completely burned out on this game. I’m sick of 3 new cards a week I have no interest in. I’m sick of power creep on junk cards.

“They” know what events had the highest participation. They should rerun those. Detective data? No brainer. Many more as well.

My guess is we don’t see rerun often because they are afraid the handful of people who spend hundreds of dollars a week have already spent on those cards. It’s possible that is true or it’s possible that new whales haven’t seen those events yet. Unfortunately new whales got those cards from portal so wah wah wah wah.

[SFW] Quick Claude

I’d be happy with any event, old or new, that doesn’t revolve around discovery or include new discovery crew. And preferably Is limited to one, two at most, new crew.

RaraRacing

Yes, I'd like more re-run events.

I've always felt that at least one re-run a month, maybe 2 would be nice. A pleasant break, as it were.

This gives players a chance to add extra stars to older crew where they'd have to otherwise rely on RNG in pack openings.

If they do add new crew I feel they should have the older crew in the reward structure somehow so you could add stars.
e.g. For the War Interrupted event ... I didn't rank high enough the first time around to get stars for Trader Odo but I did manage a 3/4 Rakal Troi through thresholds. As a f2p players I'd hope to be able to add stars to Troi without having to do a pack purchase.

I would prefer an event where there aren't any new crew though, it has just been too much recently.

Where is this Steam schedule and post on steam saying next weekend is war interrupted? I can't find it there at all. Seems odd Shan would post that info there first instead of on the official forum.

Unless it was posted there too early by mistake and has since been removed.

Selene 7

Yes, I'd like more re-run events.

This could also be solved by revamping event rewards such that there's a mix of old and new cards in there. For me who's a newer player I'm still struggling to immortalize 4 star crew. Making top 3000 is not much of an incentive as it's just another unfinished character I can't freeze. I would love to see old 4 star crew in the 3000-5000 bracket for instance. The 3 star crew you get there currently is useless for anyone ranking there. I imagine it's similar for those struggling to make top 1000.

But I warn you now, if CBS really do call the shots, brace yourself for Discovery re-runs

Faction Event: War Interrupted (re-run)

Great -- I want reruns to give me more stars for characters I have. And they give us a rerun I'm not interested in, having none of the characters. Last time, I must have ignored it, or airlocked the threshold Rakals I got 'cuz she's rubbish.

DraftedMcCoy

Yes, I'd like more re-run events.

They seem to have gone away with offering rerun event packs weekly, which is weird because we have a ton of events. At a minimum, Id like to see more of those in the Time Portal.

This last Mega Event was the least Ive been interested in the game since I started playing. The whole Mega Event was all about two shows, Discovery and Enterprise. I dont care too much for either. Not when Alternate Future/All Good Things Picard is floating around out there.
