    Test weekend has started!

    Now if only somebody fixed the connection between Europe and Tribble's login server... :mad:

    Edit: And while they're at it, they should also fix the connection between Europe and the US. Period.

    Based on my experience on Holodeck, there will be no testing to be done for us Europeans even if we DO make it onto Tribble.


    I think I managed to download 5% from that update in 30 minutes .All this with no firewall and a 120mbps broadband connection.Simply in the last 2 weeks this game on tribble or holodeck is a pain for europeans ,non stop SNRs on holodeck and 1kbps download speed on tribble server :(

    You need to do one hour this weekend.

    An unanounced reward given at an unanounced date? :D Did someone forget to make some plans about that?

    What? You expected a straight answer from a Romulan? :D
    Sometimes I think I play STO just to have something to complain about on the forums.

    All I can say is, wow way to kill STF' rewards. 5 elite STFs = 1000 dilithium :eek: pleas tell me this is just a mistake on tribble and will be fixed once season 7 goes live.
    If you can't play war nice, don't play war at all

    Yeah... I realized later that the reason I couldn't reach the login server was that Tribble had shut down for the patch, and I -literally- came in a few moments before the patch hit. :o

    But still, it's unplayable. Stuff takes place about 10 seconds before I can see them, and my response takes 10 more seconds after I make it. I WANT TO BE ABLE TO PLAY, NOT STAND!!! :mad:

    Infinite possibilities have implications that could not be completely understood if you turned this entire universe into a giant supercomputer.p3OEBPD6HU3QI.jpg

    STF Elite, no dilithium at all :eek: and loot at all. I do hope that this is a mistake or broken on the tribble server, otherwise I predict that a lot of the gamer base will leave STO for good.

    In that container that you can only open if you are reaching Tier 5. You know, you will receive a useless, invaluable piece of junk after you have paid a bunch of dilithium. ;)

    The overall impression is... interesting. However, the repair mission in the Staging Area will be irritating when a full population is running around trying to repair the same few items in the area. I figure the same will be true for other areas on New Romulus. Each players mission should not be affected/affecting other player's ability to accomplish the same.

    While traveling back on the east side of the map, my companion NPC either fell over or through the stone bridge. If the pathing did not limit the NPC while crossing the bridge, then he did fall over the bridge.

    The shuttle area, 1) the option to travel between starbase and embassy should be active as long as the starbase is Level 1 or higher. 2) the sound produced when walking in ths shuttle bay is irritating; I was getting a headache just listening to the piercing audible through my speakers. 3) the shuttles are the size of runabouts, but they are not runabouts

    The space mission are the standard ones you find in system fights, but the pay-off is a little to low; gives the area the fill of a grind-fest for Rom Marks.

    Note: Would be nice to be able to test out Vesta on Tribble

    Absolutely love everything about season 7!!

    I wish i had some constructive input to fill this post out with but honestly I think you Devs did a great job with this, I can't find anything to add but then I only played for a couple of hours, not wanting to experience too much of the new content before it goes live.

    Keep up the great work everyone :)

    Love the EV Suit wearing Tholians. One got briefly stuck (becoming untargetable) in a mountain but soon found their way out.

    Honestly I started doing the testing on the tribble server and It is making me so want Season 7 to come out, I honestly started getting bored with the standard HUD that has been on sto for the while I been playing, I like how Organized and informal the new HUD is for season 7. Also I was actually rather impressed with how there was the Personal Donations for the Reputation and Omega system. That will add an new way to individualize the Characters, I also like the way the new star system is set up.

    I ran through one of the Space STF's and love it. It's so fun taking out the Queens ship. I wish however you would make the Elite STF Basically a combination of Ground and space in the same run. Or Construct an STF where it's both Ground and space like some of the Common mission you have out there in the regular episodes. Other than that it's looking Good to me.

    I was hoping to see how ever a new option where you can Play as a romulan or the star faction. That would of been awesome. You guys could of designed a Story arc for New Romulas. I have yet to Obtain any new equipment. but I can tell it would be a while of working on the reputation system in order to get the new equipment. I also like the way the Embassy system looks. It's gonna put alot more options of work into the Fleet starbase system. I however do not like the fact that you hace to be part of a fleet to enter the Embassy. I was hopeful that the Embassy would be setup like a place where you can go to Locate info on which Fleets are looking for people that way.

    The architectural design is awesome with the Embassy, I liked the way you guys did the layout. but it does feel slightly bare. Is there gonna be special rewards to help decorate the Embassy? Otherwise I would say You guys are Good for go to launch Season 7.

    It has been account-wide on all other occasions.

    okay I get the whole test on tribble but no dilith drops and no new tech drop's on the mission's
    and foundry locked up and longer than average log time's for mission's or mission's that won't even spawn make's it very difficult to test this content hopefully when it goe's on stream the transfer will be better than it did on tribble but so far the content is only mediocre
    Thanks

    ps you guy's are on the right track

    Yay a Tribble Test weekend!

    I got on, played some Romulan Patrols, reported a few bugs. About 90mins done and it was all I could manage. Done.

    :cool:

    Not sure if this is where I write this but here is my two cents on season 7 test weekend.

    Loved the new Borg space STF where you go up against the queens diamond ship. Loved it loved it loved it. A mass all out assault.

    I played in to the hive (normal) and it seemed really hard for normal difficulty. I'm not looking forward to playing this on elite. Lol

    And the romulan space mission where you free the romulan ships was a nice easy way to get some marks.

    Not sure if it was implemented in the test but couldn't see anyway of accessing the new advancement system which I really wanted to try out.

    On an unrelated issue I spent 70 bucks trying to get a jem'hadar ship and got bugger All. Can't there be a way of obtaining the ship after a player has blown 100 bucks trying to get one?

    I spent 3 hours last night on tribble, and it is hard for me not to go back (but I wanna keep most of the exploration for the release) :) I explored just a little part, most of the time I was in the new stfs, which are extremely hard (well the ground one is just super hard at the end on elite, but the space one was insane on even normal, I know I will not pug it for quite some time, even though it was fun)

    hm. I just wanted to see New Romolus, but the STO application collapsed. I think, you still need some work on it. :) But the art was fabolus. The Azure-Nebula was not created by the supernova of the Caeliar homeworld? Then it is the place, where the Borg originated... Huh, will we see Caeliars to?

    Thanks daveyny....

    Also is it actually Alice Krige I could hear in the two new Borg missions? Really sounded like her.

    You know I was expecting worse. I had a good time, once I figured out how to find what I wanted which was not all that hard. I got a good amount of rommie marks, (128), I got a good amount of dil, (about 4k because I had a lot of those Klingon mini missions to turn in), I even got 25 fleet marks for testing one of the new Romulan fleet events. Even did a Tholian Red Alert. All said good times.

    Wish it was a bit less grindy is my only major negative.

    Oh some folks reported that deploying pets on Tribble led to a net increase in subsystem power. As I do not use pets I cannot verify this claim.
