Even if every single post in this thread was of a player saying they won't be spending money this week (which is not the case), that would be 147 people. Out of a player base of, what, 50,000? Hardly a drop in the bucket.
If people had voted for Cardassians or Dominion, DB would probably have featured Cardassians or Dominion.
The voices on this board are loud, but they aren't unified, and they certainly don't speak for the entire player base. And if you don't like what's on offer, don't play this event. No one is forcing you to.
Exactly. As Shan has pointed out time and time again the forum consists of a small subset of the player base. Hence at best tiny relevance for the revenue. Which, while not spectacular and with some swings up and down (which is normal considering the different week themes and different interests), is stable since time (there are sites where you can check the worldwide profit). So this profit down thingie is a fairy tale.
And yes again. The vote was on Augments, not Cardassians or Dominion. So hardly surprising that they don´t feature in this mega.
Yups, many voices are loud. And some of course have valid concerns. But many simply like to be loud and enjoy complaining. They complain to complain. That is their favourite entertainment
We call it Jibber jabber here....:-)
Hey where did that thread in engineering go? I went to go see the latest in jibber jabber and it’s gone
I'm kinda glad that the O'Brien is so uninspiring, and I am very grateful that Leeta is threshold. Having been waiting for another expedition event, I was thinking of grinding to the top 1,000 pretty much regardless of who the 5* was. I was, however, a bit let down that a galaxy portion would follow since it could potentially negate any lead I would be able to obtain during the expedition portion. Hybrid faction/galaxy events always see me in the top 1,000 until the galaxy portion where I plummet like a rock. I certainly could continue pouring my resources into the event, and I have when I wanted the 5* or even to FF the rank 4*, but I rarely feel like doing it, and I certainly don't feel like doing it for this O'Brien.
I request, DB, that we have a faction/expedition without a galaxy portion at some point in the future. I expect that I would really enjoy such an event.
I can get onboard with the additional threshold rewards. I plan to try and get them.
Im not a big fan of the new Obrien or Leeta’s stats.
I rarely am so disapointed in the new additions to the game, but Augment Miles is a horrible disapointment. Huge letdown when we have so many epic DS9 characters to choose from.
They won't let us threshold and out, because community rewards won't be available until phase 3 lol.
Event Name: The Weak Will Perish
Event Type: Hybrid Event Expedition/Faction/Galaxy
Event Start: Thursday, 06/21 at Noon ET (16:00 UTC)
Phase 1 End Time: Saturday, 06/23 at Noon ET (16:00 UTC)
Phase 2 End Time: Monday, 06/25 at Noon ET (16:00 UTC)
Event Finish: Wednesday, 06/27 at Noon ET (16:00 UTC)
Squadrons: Y
Crew Sharing: Y (Phase 2 only)
Faction Winner Bonus: N Community Rewards: Y (Phase 3 only)
I've gotten community rewards without even starting phase 2 in previous hybrids. Unless they've modified that, you/we should be able to bail when phase 3 starts and still collect.
His point is if everyone thresholds and out, nobody will be working towards unlocking the community rewards
Good point. I bought a pack to get a copy of Leeta so I won't need the community reward to FF her. Definitely won't be helping "earn" the community rewards beyond a single craft/redeem.
This all might be a really good thing. Between Aberration Commander O'Brien being so underwhelming and participation trickling with threshold and out, it will likely be a flop and put an end to the idea of week long events
I do feel bad for the people who were counting on the community rewards.
So good news is we still can get a premium pull and even pack from threshold, so not a complete loss if Phase 3 is a complete tank.

So ... he's got Augment, Starfleet and Federation traits? Augment Picard and Augment Riker aren't Starfleet or Federation
yeah this guy is getting funnier and funnier. and a non Jury-Rigger O'Brien as well.
We promoted O'Brien to Commander (snatching him from Encounter at Farpoint in the timeline), made him an inventor instead of repair genius, shipped him back to the 23rd century, embedded him so deep undercover with the augments, he is actually just part of their group and not undercover, and still recognize him as a Starfleet officer.
I'm sorry you're mistaken. This O'Brien is clearly mad and not going to taken it anymore. He's gone out and gotten Augmented for one reason and one reason alone:
To beat Bashir mercilessly at Darts.
His innovative solution to this long standing issue was not without problems. The Augmentation process is not perfect. He's lost his knowledge of Starfleet protocols and his ability to improvise creative engineering solutions. He's a highly proficient Marksmen now, so not a total loss.

O'Brien looks like he's about to have a brown trouser moment, and no one is getting between him and a toilet, hence the gun. Even the stilted stance is that of someone using their butt muscles to desperately shore up their wavering sphincter.
Maybe it's a weak toilet that is about to perish? Tut, tut Miles, shouldn't have reheated that Augment Kebab with extra spicy sauce!

Here's my problem. It's like, Galaxy is last. But the 5* is junk. So people aren't going to push hard (especially after the firestorm that was the 8472 race). So what if we don't hit our community billion?

Then we don’t get a free 10 pull
ba dum tsssss
Hey, you asked. I would be disappointed myself. Especially considering the increased thresholds. We could end up with 3 pulls. Ones an event pull but it’s still a 10x premium
Does anyone actually want longer events? I'm seriously curious. I know I don't. I know some others who don't. I've never heard anyone asking for a longer one, but if you're out there speak up as this is your moment.
I agree. Some of us have jobs in real life. Personally I’d like at least a full week without events for once so I can focus on other things like immortalizing crew and getting honored status with the factions.

Agree so much with this. I understand that DB wants to change things up with the 6 day event, but to follow immediately after by a 4 day event is just too much. It would have been a great point to give events a week off.
We are recruiting for our sister fleet, Mirror Klingon Marauders! Contact me via private message if interested
Yeah I'm kind of disappointed. O'Brien is meh. I've already FF Augment Riker. I'm just going to stick it out long enough to earn the 5th star I need for Darth Bashir.

Perhaps I will be proven very wrong, but my prediction is all the Community Rewards will be easily achieved, and everyone will get their free 10x Premium pull.
How long will the event pack be available? They normally expire on the Tuesday, right? If I complete thresholds, will I have to pull the event pack before this extended event ends?

That blue line on Mirror Leeta's nose is really distracting to me. Wonder if I am the only one? It basically ruins the artwork for me. I can't not see the stupid blue line and it just makes her nose look weird.

My guess DB stuff? He wasn t even in the game 5 days ago. So maybe DB wanted to be extra sure about right status and messed up?
Was it this guy?

PS Give him the Athlete trait DB.
There we go... we have a backstory... I like it
Good luck finding a toilet on the Enterprise D.
There's one!
It is where you will find the captains log
900 ENG should be for 1/5.
I pray that I don't get him in community rewards.

Excellent question. Please respond, @Shan.
It's currently set to expire the same time the event ends.
Well spotted. Good to know!
