Yes you are right that db listed it as augments/ds9 not ds9 augments but db could see how people were interpreting it and what they expected. A simple sentence of clarification from db at the beginning would have nipped it in the bud and not led people to disappointment. I think many of the complaints about db could be avoided with just a little more clarification and communication from db.

I agree with you completely on this. 🖖🏻

You vastly overestimate the popularity of the misfits. DB struck a good balance, picking the only one of them that actually saw a story line devoted to her.
The choice of a non-cannon O'Brien as the final 5* is a bit questionable, I'd agree, but going with just Sarina was the right call.
And yet so many people are singing the praises of Mirror Lita who had one episode... the misfits were in at least two that I can remember, and each of those is a lot more memorable to me than Mirror Leeta.
And I’m by no means a fan of the misfits... I just find it hard to fathom why there is another non-canon crew being thrown into the game.
Leeta, though, was more than memorable enough to merit 2 versions of her.
If you are like 14 and in need of wet dreams I guess that mutal interest between mirror Ezri and mirror Leeta is all that you need to sky rocket imagiantion....

Absolutely. Leeta featured in dozens of episodes and should have more versions. The 'DS9 Augments' weren't even from DS9 and only featured in a couple of shows.
This event requested was not 'DS9 Augments' (there's only Julian Bashir in that category) it was DS9 AND Augments.
Sure, we get repeat characters, and the occasional shoe-in from somewhere else, but that's basically how Timelines works. I'm astonished so many players haven't figured that out yet!
Not a huge disappointment for this mega, but I thought it was a perfect opportunity to introduce Captain Terrell. Could have been hyuge combined with USS Reliant.
I actually really like Jack and the others so I think it's a bit of a shame. On the other hand the Bell Riots crew was amazing and I'm also loving Mirror Leeta so with that + the fact that we did get Sarina I suppose I should be happy.
I'm quite disappointed by the omission of Admiral Patrick. I have no strong feelings for the rest of the Jack Pack, honestly, or even Patrick's other variations but I *very much* wanted Admiral Patrick. That said, maybe the idea has made it onto the radar for future inclusion in the game... As others have said, just because the theme was DS9 AND Augments didn't mean we'd get all DS9 Augments.
There have been some highs and lows for this event. Best being skirmishes but this is sad way to end. Yes extra rewards are nice but sometimes I question who is running DBs marketing and sales department. Extra long event and then you add a character that the artwork is meh and stats are just bad. If O’Brian had great engineering you would probably see a lot more involvement and spending. I see no need to get event packs this round.
The Mega was a little disappointing with regard to the crew inclusion; I like the Bell Riots characters but fail to see why they needed to hash together non cannon Augment characters or Species and Drone 7.
Ultimately the event would have been better just DS9 rather than including the hashed together Augment part.

Either that or simply a little reshuffling. I would have made Dax or Sisko the final legendary, not this kinda strange O´Brien version. As to finish it with a high point. Cause lacklustre stats aside many were hot for this Sisko version. And I would have given him the command base DB gave Pah-wraith Keiko. In that case despite the length I would have attacked this event hard. The way it is I will just casually cruise through it...
I do think a blistering engineering stat would have made O'Brien gold. It would have also made this event epic, to the point where we'd have to have next weekend off. I've been saving for a blistering engineer for some time, by the time they bring one along I'll have spent the dil on Voyages and got 2 Caretakers from the gauntlet. I love O'Brien and I'd have given my eye teeth for this gold if he'd been a decent engineer, let alone a good one.
The first two events were fun though. Some great cards, some epic battles. Skirmishes was a success, and we'll see more of them I'll warrant. Maybe in a months time. There's been a new energy put into the game, and DB are being a bit more innovative and fun I think.

If he was a three skill power creep it would be awesome. Be he is a totally crappy card.
one week of 'Meh'
