2yr Anniversary Q Mission

SystemSystem Member, NoReporting Posts: 178,019 Arc User
Sorry, but the Q Mission is not fun but fustrating... What is fun about chasing some creatures around for 30mins... it is glitchy and only rarely do you get the option to stop the creatures.

Total waste of time... Bad and very disappointing 2yr anniversary Cryptic. :mad:

Ok, I worked it out, so it does not take 30mins... I spouted off a bit prematurely.

However, whilst a fun-ish 5 min activitc...

Cryptic what would be great for every anniversary is Q transports us away to some weird place and time (think, TNG Robin Hood Episode). So we have a single Q featured Anniversry mission every year, then every year we get a new one and can re-run previous years misions.

How about Q takes us to...

- Pre-historic Vulcan, to rescue Vulcan natives from Vulcan Dinosaurs, if not someone important Vulcan will fail to exist;
- Eygpt, time of the paroahs to help comeplete the pyramids, other countless generations of humans would not be inspired to thik and innovate (They do say the pyramids were built by aliens :rolleyes: );
- Atlantis;
- Sto'vo kor;

List goes on, thing is, because it is Q you could have some weird and wonderful places, times, and plots it would not have to "Star Trek" as it were.

Oh yeah, Dstahl and I just had a chat in game about this :D

    What were you expecting? I'm actually curious as everyone has different ideas about what the event should be.

    star trek generations has a great commssining(sp) ceremony for the enterprise-b. that would have been an awesome mission.

    Hm...it took me about 2 minutes, to do the mission. Talk to a little flying Q, he will teleport a creature near to you and you must chase it.
    You should ignore all the other creatures from other players ;)

    its a redress of the scanning game at the academy. try to pick a Q that's in a restricted area, and they're easy to catch. and remember, Gotta catch 'em all, well just five. :)

    30min what?

    This takes 5min max... the only problem I encountered so far is that some mini Qs arn't on the place where they are supposed be. The mini Qs show on a different place where they actually are... guess its related to the high server load.

    My only problem with it is I'm getting a little tired of seeing Q. Its being a bit over used. Instead of coming up with something cool and unique, Q did it!

    That was an awesome commissioning ceremony, especially the use of the bottle of Chateau Picard.

    Is this ship standalone, or can it be frankensteined with other Star Cruiser parts?

    Anyone else in KDF not getting the anniversary mission from Q? I'm lvl 22 and all I get are 2 conversation options. My Fed char which is the same level didn't have this problem.

    I'm going to have to watch that again.

    Here's you a memory alpha link. Please don't let that stop you from enjoying a Trek movie though.

    This was a lot of fun, though I kinda wish Q brought the mariachi band with him instead of the giant dancing Klingon demon things.

    It could have been worse..... they could have just repeated everything they had for the 1 year Anniversary. I'm a bit relieved that they were able to give is something new to do.

    I don't have the twitch ability for this, nor any of the academy games, so I quit. There is plenty of other stuff to appreciate today, so I am not going to ruin it by being upset.

    Simply put, not everything is enjoyable for everyone. So do what you enjoy! For me, that is anywhere but Star Fleet (Or KDF) Academy.

    It is quite easy just run after Q after you talk with him and tap F the whole time 5 min max for realz

    I have the same problem.
    I'm guessing there's a level requirement so people don't exploit the dilithium reward.

    Just thought about something...
    Why not have Q, or some minion, give out the party poppers, that's all I want anyway.

    Qs mission seems to be restricted to KDF players of lvl 24 and above.

    That should be pretty easy. As I recall Atlantis touched down just off of San Francisco.

    It's much easier to do KDF side. They seem to run to any wall then stop. Not much chasing at all.

    On Fed side there is much more running around and if there's objects in the way that you fail to jump past Mini-Q will get away.

    Still pretty easy though and only takes a couple minutes.

    I use the arrows and numeric keypad on the right side of my keyboard. What does F do? I probably can map it to a free number pad key.

    Oh yes I agree...

    When I heard there was going to be a shakedown cruise mission I expected to beam onto the odessy bridge for some cool dialoge, was a little let down when it just returnedto tacticalview and things began

    If the bridge and ship were in the foundry I'd be tempted to try and make my own version! ... Problem would be the boffs clustering around the player like ducklings...

    Kind of disappointing that Q no longer turns you into "freakish beasts" -- with all the new players , ESD could have turned into a Zoo for 5 days (in a fun way BTW...) .

    If some of them leave before the next festivities , they will never know the joy of running around (or getting humped by) a targ . :p

    Also , with zero explanation form Q as to the mini-game , it was a bit frustrating getting the handle on it at first .
    Ty Zonechat :D

    Takes 2 minutes to complete i really don't see why its taking you 30 minutes what are you doing exactly for 30 minutes??

    Can see how it would be hard if you had a laggy pos PC but no reason why it should anyone more than 5 mins.
