Thank you.
STILL no fix for the GAME-BREAKING CAMERA BUG????
I sure hope you just forgot (or are too ashamed of letting such a rediculously bad bug continue so long) to add it to the release notes, because this is getting far beyond a joke.
I have spent more time (most of the time already dead because of it) being forced to go through menus (when it lets me) then actually playing this month...
THIS IS UNPLAYABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
None of the listed fixes are even slightly close to the level of importance of this bug.
Why are you fixing combadges and capes when theres a whole group of players that CAN'T EVEN PLAY the game???? How the hell has this gone on for a month??? Any other MMO would have fixed this on release day in an emergency patch, or at the very least, the next day.
I guarantee this is costing you money and customers - I seriously doubt many people affected would put up with this as long as I have.
Whoever's job it is to prioritize these fixes and patches seriously needs to consider a new line of work.
Also... no fix for ships spawning inside objects? In some places this is merely annoying; in others it's getting close to game breaking (unscannable nodes in Ker'rat because Borg ships are inside them shooting at you, for example).
Jim
you mean where the cam max zooms in on every map change? its hardly game breaking just really anoying
I have noticed foundry being down though.
No I am talking about the camera changing itself to free cam every 30 to 60 seconds resulting in almost guaranteed death in PVP and the next 20 to 30 seconds going through menus.
Way to go.
It is completely and utterly game breaking to anyone that doesn't use/like free cam.
That will never be fixed. They will remove ker'rat instead (which is probably why they made the quest into daily).
Which is a personal preference. They aren't required to fix the game so that it works to your personal preference. The free camera isn't that hard to use; just use that until this very minor bug is repaired.
The bug also appears in episode missions like "Minefield". It needs to be fixed whether Ker'rat is removed or not.
Probably 70% of people use free cam (because it is default), but the other 30% right now are basicly unable to play (or at the very least, enjoy) the game.
Fine, this is a very minor bug to you, but to the 30% it is completely unplayable.
Imagine for a second if it forced you to use chase cam (which you also hate with a passion) by switching itself to it every 30-60 seconds, would you be pleased? Would you even still be here one month later?
The worst part of this is there is already a fix as reported by a dev here, but for some stupid reason it is not being deployed.
To be honest with you i dont think i even know wtf you are going on about.... There is something preventing you from going into options and changing your cam?
Well, yes. Things shooting me stop menus opening by targetting them again. The esc key deselects target on first press and then opens menu on second. I am in australia, by the second keypress getting to the server, i've already retargetted something due to latency - so the menu never opens. The options map icon is also mostly completely unresponsive in battle.
Then I finally get into the menu and spend 30 seconds changing the setting back, only to have it begin again 30-60 seconds later. I did not pay cryptic/pwe to go through menus.

It's annoying as it will swing your view around when you get too close to something like an asteroid and suddenly you are looking behind your ship?
I much prefer "Free Camera" mode.
Typical response by a "Cryptic defender". Blame it on the players hardware, and not on the broken SOFTware. These issues weren't present pre-Season 6, so obviously Cryptic broke something in Season 6, and have yet to resolve it.
People are screaming at you and yet you still continue to play ignorant and not acknowledge the problem.
People are now beginging to cease screaming and walk away as they are now properly fed up.
It's sad to see this from a company that listened bak then to now, when you shun your fans.
all i can say is Meh good luck repairing your faith with fanbase now.
In all parts of the game you cannot interact with anything while taking damage - or if you start interacting and then start taking damage the interaction stops until the damage stops - but not with the diplomats - this is a bug that costs as much lost points as the dying colonists!!
It is not at all minor. The people that it effects can't play.
A combadge or tailor graphical glitch (you can still play the game), or a single mission bug (pick another mission and come back to it) is minor.
Something that stops people being able to play is as major as it gets, even if it is only affecting 30% of players - that's 30% of your playerbase that can't enjoy any space mission in the whole game!
Now add to this the fact that any team I (or any other of that 30%) am in is affected by each 30 seconds I am going through menus instead of helping and that 30% suddently becomes much higher. You too have been greatly affected by this bug without even knowing it.
What am I paying for? :mad:
Playing STO spamming FAW is like playing chess using always the computer's suggested moves
One reason I was really wanting the Foundry to come back up was because the mission I've got planned involves those set pieces. hehe
But here's hoping they can resolve the crashing issue soon!
Branflakes, please take out the "only" in the auto-generated message. 4 hours is beyond "only". 2 hours is hardly fine for "only", butt not 4 hours, lol.
Also, while you're at fixing tailor issues, can we soon expect to be able to purrchase bridge customizations again such as small corridors? When I hit purrchase, I can't buy it (I don't lose EC, butt I don't get my desired changes either).
