They;ve updated #17 blog

They nerfed Fleet actions a little, but we now have 960 dil back into STF's not perfect by so so so much better I can now have a life an dplay this game. \0/

I would advise people to don't count your coup just yet. We still don't know what they are going to say/do. It may be no better than what is currently in teh game.

You know, instead of merely updating an old Dev Blog, how about you devote a new one with these Dilithium updates, and an apology for this debacle and the appalling way in which you treated your players?

huge dilithium nerf to STFs = less horrible than complete dilithium removal, but still bad

now we will all be happy about it because we know it could be a lot worse...

i say keep bitc*ing guys, this is still nowhere near good enough!

Not to look a gift horse in the mouth, there's one thing that may have been overlooked:

The "STF days" on the calendar, has been entirely removed. So there's one avenue of "bonus dilithium" that has been completely cut off.

And reading the updated blog post, shows they are still being rather lackluster in how they reward us for playing their content. So, I suppose returning "some" of the Dilithium to STFs is a step in the right direction. But reducing the amount in Fleet Actions, just puts us back at square one.

The conversion of Omega Marks and Borg Neural Processors to Dilithium, remain PITIFUL. 5 Elite STFs to get 1000 Dilithium??? Whereas in S6, we got 1100 Dilithium PER RUN.

I'm happy with the decision to put dillithium back in the STF rewards since we now need it to purchase the gear. It was not fair for us to have received Dillithium all this time and then take it away now when it is required.
I have no complaints on the issue at this point.

Thanks for entertaining the player comments and choosing to modify the reward structure to suit the new reputation.
It means more than you know...

By acquired differently, you must be speaking about the Zen-to-Dil exchange. I've watched those prices plummet from 300+ in pre-S6 to 100 - 150 near S7 launch.

With this, the conversion rate is going to hover closer to 25. Sorry, but I'm not going to pay for DStahl's new latinum-plated mansion.

F2P is an acronym for Free to Play, not Free to Pay...


If Cryptic is going to use Ferengi buisness ethics, they need to learn how to be better Ferengi. No Ferengi would EVER lie, cheat, and utterly screw over their customers in the way that Cryptic is right now. It's a good way to become a dead "entrepreneur".

I'm just waiting for the national news headlines: "Game Programmers slaughtered, 13-year old gunman in custody await psychiatric evaluation."

Even on Tribble, there was some reward; not as big as people would have wanted, but still a reward. When it went live, no reward.

480 > 0.

Edit:
Noted, and much more amicable. Not as much as before, but with Omega Mark conversions and rewards from other Fleet Actions to compensate, it's a fair compromise, IMPO.

I have a feeling Al' Gekco is getting a telling off...

i dont understand the logic behind all these decisions

they take away many ways to earn dili and that will give the players the ability to earn more dili then before ?

all of these changes are bull****

the only answer is that they want that casual gamers buy more zens to exchange against dili

but its only a thin line when these gamers would say "thats enough" - and when they are gone - they dont come back

btran gone, foundry quickies gone, stfs reduced, horrible costs for exchanging dutys and so on
