on losing my long standing name and identity of Roach or not being able to even use the name Ghargh in its place for my new display.
I like the new look but hate the restricted options.
Smooth move PWE. Firmly showing that you have your finger firmly placed on something within the STO community. I don't know what that something is, but it sure is not the pulse.
They should have hired me to make the page, hell hired the bum on the street across there office would be better.
Seriously ... basic webdesign 101. It's a book, read it.

This forum isn't the same without Roach.
I wrote a customer support ticket. I suggest everyone do the same. Maybe something will happen from it.
Star Trek Online Advancement: You start with lowbie gear, you end with Lobi gear.
- you loose any structure when visiting the forums
- the tracking of dev posts has become almost impossible
- I get a headache if I stare more than 5minutes on the forums while reading.
- the UI design seems to be from 1969 very well...slapping the beta Galaxy class on top of your page shows clearly how your game is up to date. Why didn't you just put the Lego Galaxy from CapnLogans Avatar on the page...at least it would have had a sympathy character:rolleyes:
Oh, did I mention that I feel like I am in a unified army now, where everyone looks the same as the other?
Hate. I understand why they did it, but they should have known (or found out) how people would react.
Lack of functionality (Avatars particularly), poor and confusing account merging (ok, I got FANTASTICALLY lucky because I happened to make a PWE account with my usual username a while back, but the rest of you got absolutely f'd), HORRIBLE layout and basic forum design, the merge results resetting post counts and join dates (yeah, now I look like some noob that just joined).
The community had gotten comfortable in several ways, which is one of the ways a MMO thrives. And they just ripped the floor out.
Campaign: The Fenwick Cycle NWS-DKR9GB7KH
Wicks and Things: NW-DI4FMZRR4 : The Fenwick merchant family has lost a caravan! Can you help?
Beggar's Hollow: NW-DR6YG4J2L : Someone, or something, has stolen away many of the Fenwicks' children! Can you find out what happened to them?
Into the Fen Wood: NW-DL89DRG7B : Enter the heart of the forest. Can you discover the secret of the Fen Wood?
Since PWE purchased Cryptic, this game has just been... I can't even think of a word strong enough (that won't get me banned) to express my displeasure.
I've only had my problems handled if I contacted Cryptic directly, not PWE. PWE's customer service is ****. I'll try it anyway, but I know they won't fix the problem.

They kinda blow - limited functionality and I haven't figured out how to customize my avatar...did they remove that functionality?
Well what did you expect the first day after a giant change such as this, flawlessness? Bugs are bound to occur, and not all functionality (i.e. customizing your avatar the way you want to) has been implemented yet. They are just testing the waters right now, fixing bugs as they crop up and adding functionality when bugs are fixed, then fixing bugs that said added functionality causes, then adding more functionality, etc.
Just relax people. Stuff like this always happens.

The old forums were fine. Easily navigable and simple to use.
Also I never created my PWE account with the intention of combining them. It was before the purchase. They were never supposed to meet. So I didn't use my STO name, I used a fantasy name. And look at me now... You can't tell I'm me. I'm not Alastor Forthright anymore. My identity has been taken away from me. I'm user No. 41319898000.

Wasn't going to even bother with making a PWE Account.
Frankly, there's two reasons why I did...
1) To express my total displeasure at what has occured without warning.
2) Because T.G.N did.
This probably won't be my last post... but I doubt I'll be adding to the conversation very much anymore.
Oh and my vote was "I HATE IT"

Bow down to conformity or be thrown off of a cliff. In all seriousness, the new forums are awful. They are gray, bleak, and unimaginative. Please change them back.

Huge 'meh' from me. They don't bother me, at all.
If they had a mobile version I'd go from 'meh'' to 'w00t!'
about this change :frown:
Pro: Get to rebuild myself and distance myself to my friends ingame.
Con: See above. And that diversity has died.

I'd love to submit a ticket but the Submit a Ticket page keeps giving me a "The page isn't redirecting properly" error. Ultimate fail.

I wouldn't imagine why they'd give us any warning, PWE isn't exactly popular round these parts.
