Star Trek Online - Collector's Edition (Exclusive to Amazon) (Video Game)

Customer Review

Ahoy
The Star Trek Online Collectors Edition is a disappointment.

First, the whole looks good, yet additional paper as a frame is placed around the box.
On the back you can see the disassembled Collectors Edition and extras ... but she looks somehow different from.

While thinking about the phrase "High-quality aluminum box with a futuristic 3D holographic" (which BTW is on the CE itself), removed the paper.
The cardboard box seems cheap when you hold in your hand, on the left edge of the box you will find a bond that says "Open your box going too often and you're me.".

Everywhere it looks like silver wrapping paper and not as "aluminum".
On the back of the address of the official site became the 100th time printed, completely out of place and ruin the design.
The "Futuristic 3D hologram" on the front page is just "somehow" good but can no longer help.
Only the magnetic lock makes a stylish impression.

First one finds the Federation insignia, here an original photo would have helped because the ultimate Buttons suggests evil.

He also does not look as advertised and is more or less a simple buttons acting wrong in itself, but is just a little nerd bonus ... so what the expectations were not great here.

Then you lift the cardboard together with buttons by a black ribbon aside and show the guests the key, not yet broken out of its plastic plate.
I still wonder what it is supposed to be "VIP" Also there are only 3 and not as advertised. 4
I'll bring it out to the point:
Who is not willing any potential customers give a time-limited trial phase, probably afraid of the echo and thinks that could not stand before all public product.
If there should be a way to curb Goldseller, it's probably the worse variant.
Here you can be divided. To me it seems not very nice to see the guest cards still in the plastic composite, however, I may be blinded by higher quality Collectors Editions or just fussy.

Behind the plastic plate, the artbook is a A6 booklet in timeless black held the silver writing and a silver Federation also sign with light effect chic albeit colorless and not fresh.
The book itself is the standard model without diary Red corners, on the first and last page peeping along the inner paper some glue out.
The pages are made of thick paper, if you look at the book from above fall bad folds and adhesions on.

"The Art of Star Trek Online" promises 40 pages of fun, contains 35 pages with pictures without comment, 14 pages English guide, some mediocre designed subdivisions, 2 pages for notes () and 1 page of code, etc.
At the end is located in the artbook the game DVD on a transparent support, through the DVD a rectangle of which is you do not know what it is ... wrong mold or something.
The pictures did you all ever seen anywhere and at all it seems to have not been a lot of interesting artwork, the artbook they are not always included.
Only an image on which humans and Klingons fight each other freezes my view, it is the cover page "The Weapons of Star Trek Online".
I remember at first to have read something of 'HD-Print' or 'images in HD format "and actually I could find it again.
What exactly these "HD Prints" will be will probably remain a mystery forever ... even pixel scan when? Pixels when printing? So quasi HD if I have to scan the pictures in HD to let them print it in original HD size? Or maybe it's also mini-hd? When the size of the Artbooks it could be good mobile HD.
No seriously, I do not understand.

The game items are another matter. Apparently it is now no longer sure which edition should contain what exactly. Since Cryptic can not be expressed only guess that the total confusion a result acts faster. For example, now is the Original suit from the Kirk era also included in the CE in addition to the Next Gen and Deep Space.
The Red Matter Capacitor is also included in the Gold Edition and the Borg officer you get somewhere else ... so the question remains what the Collectors Edition really justifies the title?
Incomprehension.

That's it ...
At the end you look at the built in 3D advertised product and the resulting order to inevitably come to the question "Why have you done so?".
Of course, the question is rather born out of the frustration out and not serious, because the answer is quite clear.
While I hold the cardboard box in his hands I read on the back again "High-quality aluminum box with a futuristic 3D holographic", not the Amazon description is wrong .... but actually on the box itself.
The Collectors Edition has been manufactured in a limited edition and it's probably better that way.
After the last weeks of the mistake is not just a consolation and preserved because of the delayed delivery additional days either.
If I wanted to use my Collectors Edition extras, I'd have to do without the extra days because when you enter the key you automatically go lost.
In this way, so I can only come in 10 days in the enjoyment of my purchased bonuses.
Who can go the same upright without any problems and look straight ahead, can imagine how good something for players arrives.
I own some of Collectors Editions and just the game to my favorite series is crap, "omg fail" will some have thought.
A great pity because this could have been points where other companies mess generously and help to uniqueness CE customers keeps Cryptic hardly the standard one.
The term "prestige" Währe here more of a slap in the face.
Even if they wanted, what they should do now?
How Community caregivers should express here how they could justify?
Being in a Guild Wars edition lacked a specific part you could be the way forward, I personally do not think the Cryptic pulls something or the like into consideration.
Missing comments by the company are proof of the incapacity which apparently culminates here ina art toleration mortis.
The whole situation is very unprofessional and cowardly handled (as measured by the previous success of the game and all the "Hurrah, hurray" call), you are not even brave enough to grant mistakes and wrong decisions in interviews and who the Collectors Edition once had in their hands white as sight that would have been full extent.
On the one hand this is understandable because who (or what company) has been around like failures, on the other hand one could so at least some food to the fan (boy) s distributed, so a comment spit stays away.
Cryptic will do what they always do ... the whole ride out as a short flu, secretly hoped for the customer, but at least now on Chronic remnants.
Somehow that sad because the joy gives way when a fan here an unpleasant "This has probably not worth it" feeling.
