Just wanted to say that I really enjoyed that cutscene. And it seems like Cryptic got inspired a bit by Prometheus with the holographic recordings and how they were being projected right into the actual environment.
That was one of the (very few) good parts about that movie.
We also finally got our first glimpse of an Iconian, even though it was just a blue, shining silhouette. The small E.T.-like creatures where Dewans, I suppose?
On a technical note, I appreciated seeing D'Tan's face inside of his EV-suit. Any chance we can have that for our charatcers as well?

Though how did the Iconian go through the gateway before it was turned on, which resulted in the planetary disaster?
Also, it seemed lazy that the Tier 5 cutscene was in the Tier 4 zone than it's own area. Instead of replaying the Tier 4 mission, why not copy the Tier 4 zone, remove the Tholians (since you stopped them), and have some new obstacles in getting to the gate room?
But I can't remember where I have seen that before...it was about 2-4 years back.
I guess it was in some science fiction series like stargate or something.
Cheers.
You might wanna speed that up.
You get 30k dil ore and 750 Rom Marks for completing tier 5.
Wow, that is cool :-)
I really like what Cryptic did with the cutszenes in the Romulan grind :-)
Its written in the lore accolades in the tier 3 mission.

the gateway used to work just fine. the iconians conquered this planet and the dewan saw them as gods (they were the natural inhabitants of the planet) until the alliance attacked them and forced the iconians out, just as they attacked iconnia. the iconaian fled as the fleet was attacking them from orbit.
this attack probably set the dewan's civilization back a fair bit. generations later the dewan re-found the gate and then used it. either through damage or a lack of understanding, that caused the disaster which destroyed their people.
that cutscene was epic.
No.. you must do the cutscene
This.
Besides that souring the whole affair, I thought it was a cool cutscene. I want to fix and repower the gateway and go through it :P

No swords. I too expected a replica sword of the Raptor Star, well maybe some other time in a featured episode series.
Otherwise I loved it except for the fact that it forces you to completely replay the T4 mission. Really? They allow the Tholians to try blowing up the planet twice? The same way? Is that a thing with Romulans and homeworlds? Not very attached are we?
Sometimes, if you want to bury the hatchet with a Klingon, it has to be in his skull. - Captain K'Tar of the USS Danu about J'mpok.
I think thats a long term thing... The rep system actually leaves more questions open, than answered... but thats not unusual.

As for the sword, D'Tan's people already have it. You can see it in the Tier IV cutscene when D'Tan shows you his lab.
No, the Hirogen from the tier 2 mission cutscene says something along the lines of "he hopes the prey of this world the romulan promised him isnt the thing by the waterfall"
So the Tal shair obviously know what it is.
That isn't a bad thing you realize...
It does give options for more being added on later.
In the Tier IV cutscene, he says it's a template used in making the actual sword. They don't have it.
Given that the sword is probably a powerful psychic artifact like the Stone of Gol -- as in not just a sword but ancient tech that will allow one person to fight modern armies, I'm guessing its discovery will be a much bigger deal.
If I had to guess, I'd say it'll be something like:
Shard Sword of the Raptor Star
Legendary/Orange
Dmg, CritH, CritD, Psix2
Maybe its tertiary attack is a long cooldown ranged Psi attack or maybe it has nanopulse-style deflection.
I'm usually pretty easily annoyed with these little bugs, but not being able to go back in for another 20 hours just puts it in a whole different league. I have nothing polite to say to you today, Cryptic. You can guess the rest.
lmao great that's the one thing I was doing the romulan reputation for /insert swearing
All other pets in the game are permanent amirite, why exactly was this decision made souns like a bad joke. A non-combat pet would possible harm could it do it doesn't do anything.
Anyone down to start a petition this is really hurtful to me
/edit
ps. I don't care what I have to pay for a permanent version but a consumable not even once
pps. you know it would have been nice if it said "consumable" in the discription like all the other consumables do
See, Cryptic didn't make that clear at all. You say the Iconian left when the planet was under attack, yet there was no indication that they were under attack.
The Iconian argued with the Dewan, left through the gate, the Dewans fliddled with the machine, then BOOM, all heck broke loose like it was the planetary disaster had begun.
STOwiki has the complete set here http://www.stowiki.org/Accolade/Lore_Accolade#History_of_New_Romulus
I couldn't be bothered to redo the T3 mission to collect all 8, but they are the important ones for this bit if the story.
I appriciate you linking. But you very much misunderstand the conversation.
I was not saying I lacked the information, I was saying that the cutscene conflicts with the Dewan Accolade story and the Romulan Story.

well not quite. the explosions started before the iconian left, as you see them being thrown around which shows something bad is happening under their watch.
finding the tablets and knowing to look for the lore writing under the accolade list (and you have to find several as they are random) is not very clear at all. that could have been handled much better. the information should appear when you look at the tablet rather than having to hunt through your own journal to find it.
however once you read the tablets it becomes fairly clear, the reason for the crater section on new romulus is from the orbital bombardment for example.
