CasualSAB jokes about living in a Van by the river but there used to be a guy who lived in a hole near the Racoon River and Central Campus back in the 90s to Early 2000s. Police would have to check on him constantly during the wintertime to make sure he was okay.

Nic and all PC players I salute you 👏 to my fellow Console players, unless you are worth enough money where spending to achieve what you see PC players do is inconsequential to you and money is of little value, then please do not attempt these kind of things. We simply do not have the options PC players have and most likely never will. A perfect example is the Zen stipend for membership holders on PC. I've been a console player with membership since 2016 and I've enjoyed this game with measured expectations so I don't end up depressed or bankrupt lol. Enjoy the game for what it is and enjoy the PC side content for what it is. That's it that's all. Take care.

I'm not surprised. I just started playing the game in 2022 and after burning through probably 5 million dilithium I just got my first epic token about a month ago. For the past two years I didn't think epic tokens were a real thing.

Every time Spencer said to have faith, the Enterprise theme song played in my head. This goes to show how unlikely it is to get an epic token. The only upside is that you can get the Ship upgrade tokens and then there is all the gear you can upgrade. They really should to a ‘open all’ option on the menu

Cool idea for a video. Before I start, I'm going to guess 2 (maybe 3) epics.

I opened 365 boxes, 1 full year of savings, and I did not get an epic token. I don’t like the odds with this one. 365 boxes = 2,944,000 refined dilithium ore and if I sold that ore here on console at the time would have equated to about 80 - 100 dollars. I was highly disappointed and will never go after a Phoenix upgrade again. You opened 2,970 boxes \ 365 days a year = 8.13 years of refining 8,000 dilithium per day. That should put this into perspective of how many boxes this was. 1700 boxes opened just to get 1 epic Phoenix token though, that’s ridiculous! I don’t know the listed Zen selling rate of Dilithium on PC to convert that into how much money this equates to (I’ll check what this is on PlayStation later) Any event, this is a horrible drop rate. I love watching your guys stream. This is what the weekly 10 forward should be right here!, with you all! 10 forward always just feels like a sales pitch. I laughed when I peeked in on a 10 forward live stream and it said “10 people watching” 😂😂 Side note! You all should take over the 10 forward weekly and it would be amazing to watch every week!!! Maybe a good idea for you all as a new stream!!! Just like when MCStu, Stu1701, CasualSAB, and Gauss do one, need Nicknb in there now also! Let’s go!!! Add more people also!! I don’t know who the other gentleman was on this stream but let’s get people together and dooooo iiiiitttt!!!!!!

Epic tokens drop rates are a joke and we should be able to sell Phoenix tokens and upgrades on the exchange. Also peak content Nic. 😉

I got lucky and had 3 epic tokens from opening about 400 boxes. I then accidently converted them down to lesser tokens when i was very tired one night... sigh...
@jtjr263 күн бұрын
That is a major load of BS. I am sure Cryptic does not care one bit. They are probably of the opinion, be grateful you have a chance to get all this free stuff. Problem is it after a while aside from the Epic Ships you will already have all the dillithium priced things you could want. There are a lot of players sitting on huge volumes of dillithium and nothing to spend it on.

I did 400k of dilithium on Phoenixes earlier this week & got 1 Epic so I felt extremely lucky & it was with a brand new toon that had never gambled. Is there a pity point with Phoenix Epics? Watching this was brutal. Cryptic should be thanking you over these last 2 weeks.
