    Whoopsy!

    The Phoenix Prize Pack is a special pack, purchased with Dilithium (or obtained for free, during this event). Opening it grants you a token of one of five rarities, and you can redeem that token for a list of prizes on that rarity tier.

    Face it, if one of these blog posts didn't have typos or copy/paste failures we'd all be worried. It has become a part of the STO community culture to be the first to find these errors like they were intentional easter eggs planted there. We'd all be at a loss if they actually posted accurate, proofread info.

    And no need to spend money on this "event" either. It is painfully clear it's another money cash grab as well, instead of 1 UR token for the upgrade token as its previously been, it's now a set amount per token tier.

    Really trying to milk them whales, we know that money ain't going to actually improving the game or adding more staff.

    As for the pricing of the upgrade tokens, I'm actually surprised they haven't increased it in the phoenix store. Five UR Tokens today is basically equivalent to five VR tokens before. And getting 10 VR tokens compared to 1 UR token was MUCH easier in the old system, thus it's actually much easier to get upgrade tokens than before with this new system, which is why I'm surprised they haven't corrected this mistake.

    Agreed, the odds are much better for everything except epic tokens now. Before it would likely take hundreds of boxes to get 1 UR token, over which time you'd likely get dozens of VR tokens. Now that UR tokens essentially have the VR token odds, you'd likely be able to pick up several experimental upgrade tokens in the time it would have previously taken to get a single token before.
