Of just after F2P ... when we got one (YES , ONE!) new thing every week.
I loved that.
I prefer that to massive unload of content.

Hopefully I'll come back from my break; this break is fun; I play intellectual games.
I hope STO get's better ...

It does make you wonder what it would be like if had weekly content.
Real feedback I get from players in two fleets.
They want to have fun, they choose not to grind they just want content.
Sorry to say the New Romulus, Dyson, Nukara even the new zone is not fun.
You don't need
Haven't played the game since early January, is it worth DL'n the updates since then and getting back into it?

Same here, especially September 2010 - February 2011, the golden times of FE Series (where they made 3 of them)
I found the "one thing every week" - statement after F2P pretty hilarious, because it was mostly stuff like minor C-Store / Lockbox Items (they didn't even manage to keep this "promise"), and I'm not sure how its ANY different from now ... we just got Junior Off. Weekend, after First Contact Day, after the new Mirror Event etc ...
Content creation was pretty down between S4 - S6, so I have to take this Thread as misguided nostalgia ...
PS : I challenge the OP to name three "new things" he really enjoyed (Q1 2012), afaik Season 5 was the worst season ever ...
PPS : Some pearls from Early 2012 :
- Anniversary Event (sounds oddly familiar)
- Yellowstone Shuttle (good thing, there was lots & lots of stuff to do with it)
- Dilithium Mining (350,000 Dil EV Suits, because they had a different color)
- Cardassian Lockbox (wow new Lockbox, since we never got one after that)
- First Contact Day (sounds oddly familiar)
- "Hearts and Minds" (fun little mission, but that's about it)
- Ferasans (Caitians with Fangs, how could we live without it)
boy those were the Golden Times :P , they should clearly make new shuttles, different colored EV Suits and maybe Bird people, it would change EVERYTHING ....
The game did feel more intimate back then.
I suppose, that as with all things, we hate change that takes us out of our comfort zone.
F2P certainly did do that.
I also think that many of the additions to the game since then, weren't as well thought out as many of us longer term players would have liked.
Much of what They have added, while it has added depth to the overall game-play, has also taken away the original story flow that we came to love.
It seems to be a symptom of how online gaming has also changed in the last five years.
The "story" has taken a backseat to gimmicks and to "what-can-we-add-to-the-game-that-players-will-buy".
I just as soon have a more in-depth story line with starships that don't need all the fancy gadgets to survive.
Mind you, this is all just MHO.
:cool:

Because since I can remember for the last 4 years of this game The forums have hated every season, every update, every change, every FE that came out, and now all of a sudden we are remembering good old days???
Edit: daveyny Whoa, Now I'm having nostalgia of the forums.
Know what games have forums w/ no rage? The dead ones.
When the FE's seemed endless. Little did I know when I was doing them that, that was it.
When it seemed each captain had a role in a team. My first being an engineer, I thought it was so cool I could extend my shields around another ship that was receiving a beat-down and was amazed to realize I could send someone else my engineering team. Turns out it wasn't all that necessary then, and even less so in these days of 30K Deeps, super-tanks.
When I knew nothing of ship builds. So many possibilities.
I was so enamored with the whole STO experience, I subscribed for a couple of months, well aware that I did not have to. I think the reason I'm still playing is simply I'm searching for that feeling again.
Not saying I don't still find enjoyable moments mind you. Just kind of miss that sense of adventure, I guess.
LOL you're kidding right the lack of content before F2P was even worse than it is now atleast PWE wants Cryptic to add content even if it is end game only where as Atari didn't want to update the game at all.
agreed the game is much better and more populated than it has ever been maybe its time for some to empty out your ignore list and realize that not all the players you ignored were bad after all some yes but not all.
Where have you been? :eek:
Lots of people were very upset by that security update.

Looking back people tend to forget how bad the bad things really were. No I don't think the game used to better at the start of F2P and I wouldn't want to go back. I miss the featured series though. One new mission per half-season just isn't good enough.
True however 2 cents would be the money they were making. If it wasn't for them going F2P this game would have shut down, which means you wouldn't have had anywhere to stay. Would you have preferred if that had happened? Look what happened to WAR, they wouldn't even go F2P they just waited out their license then closed the game down.
I would like to see them do more story missions. I have enjoyed the sphere story and the ground zone too.
I'm currently suffering from something that may be familiar to a lot of players: grind burnout, so I uninstalled the game at this time. And the future looks grim, as they will only add more grind, lobi items, lockboxes and nothing else it seems...
For the glory of Tempus!

Lolth commands, and I obey!
I know and they have shown they can do decent stories recently with the first and last sphere mission stories. I liked both of them, and even repeating them didn't seem like a bad thing even with the enviro suit. After the Cardy arc I was dreading that part, it was a little difficult to get used to the controls at first it was a hell of a lot better.
The only problem I had, and it is minor, was not being able to skip the generator explanation. I even liked the story you got through leveling through the Dyson rep and how it leads to something.
To me the showcase shouldn't be a grind. It should work like when we did the one for the Oddy. Even a story mission made up of three parts would be better than a grind.
When I stop playing a game for a while I don't uninstall it, and update them. That way they are ready when I choose to play again and not have to go through the whole installing and updating thing again. Though disc space is not a concern for me.
Wait a minute......I was one of the "Freeloaders"despite the fact I was addicted to buying PWE gamecards every Friday from my local gamestop.:mad:
I still have my first Klingon character. Got it to max before there was content.

I still have two boffs (on different chars) that have the ORGINAL gorn skins.
Early access Orion Sci captain here too, was my first lvl 40, at the time level cap. Good old days, being trapped in 3 sector spaces :P
An, dangnubit, we were grateful to have it.You kids don't know how lucky you are to have those fancy ,schmancy, warpcores...or those fancy impulse engines.WE didn't have shields either! You polarized your hull, and prayed your armored hull was enough.:)
5 and 6 also had outages but season 4 had the foundry down for over a month.
