With all the new content being shown off on Tribble (read some of the forum notes down there if you want) and the conversion of fed missions to KDF, tier 1 and 2 KDF ships being added (D'Gavama class bird of prey looks gorgeous, I want that skin!), possible costume options and just the general adding of goodies to the KDF come May 21st what do we, The Disenchanted, feel we aught to do next?
It's entirely possible we will still be incomplete in minor ways (fingerless gloves and greatcoats) but our main goals of lvl 1 start, full lvl 1-50 content, new ships and more consideration seem to have been well thought out on Tribble.
I'm not suggesting we cease being Disenchanted right away but our little protest might have been noticed by all involved in the expansion so should we consider showing our thanks in the same way?
I fully intend for my fleet name to remain 18 Percent, but my alts' titles should surely change to reflect gratitude for months of hard work. I can only think of Honourable (one of the first you get for helping the House of Martok) or Wicked (for killing 200 Fek'Ihri). Any others (that don't require a purchase, to make it fair for all)?

New tutorial is brilliant. It really feels Klingon! First City looks amazing (Tacofangs explained they have improved MipMaps all round so everything looks better) and there's loads of little things making a huge difference. I'm not going to give any spoilers away in this thread but I will say this... if LoR doesn't boost KDF player numbers, I'm not sure what would.
I for one am looking for a new title for my KDF toons, as I will no longer be Disenchanted come May 21st.

I agree in many ways the Klingon tutorial is better than the Romulan one and the Romulan tutorial is pretty impressive. I also enjoyed the first four new missions, very Klingon with a little humour thrown in for good measure. I also like how it ties in with some of the later KDF missions and even one or two of the Federation missions.
Very stroy drive LoR seems to be, something that with the exception of the Fek'lhri and early KDF missions that STO has sorely lacked for both factions. I am kind of hoping this isn't just a one shot deal and that they plan to bring few new missions each season to the game for all three factions, or at least for the Romulans and KDF till their line up is similar to the Federation and we can finally get rid of the horrid FE's that don't make sense for the KDF.
They have certainly outdone themselves for LoR, apart from a new merger with my fleets, this is the most excited I have been with STO since I started playing the KDF with my first KDF character Naymor.

Well at least re-work them for the KDF perspective would make them work a lot better than the way they are now. Giving DS9 back to the Federation, rescuing Drozana in the past from Devidians doesn't make a lot of sense for Klingon players.

I had always hoped the Devs would have rewritten that mission to portray the KDF as working counter to the feds like in the ToS series.
No Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee and a La Gloria Cubana Torpedo #1 cigar. As for new content make a visit the Chancellor and watch the council members new reaction. Again as I said in another thread we want the proper music tracks for the Klingon side not the elevator music we have now.
Oh, I have put up "This Far, No Further" in my title as requested over disenchanted.
This is also taking into account the new Klingon tour of duty from the update coming out. Lesser rewards and higher cost along with now being told what it will cost to reach full station construction with a small house basically would take us either buying what we need or 2 - 3 years of saving and not putting any of our resources into anything but the station.

If you Fed's want our continued support and respect, how about doing something for us and start hammering Cryptic by boycotting the new lockboxes or just lockboxes in general? This is going to see a massive exodus of good players mark my words if Cryptic don't get their act together. We saw an exodus of good players over Fed's getting carriers. We saw another over the season 7 grind. Now what you think is going to happen now?
Oh look, what I said would happen in the first pages of this thread happened.
KDF did not only get boned this time around, they also got dumped into the 'we really don't give a TRIBBLE' pile at dev central.
Boned:
- Feds get plasmonic leech and kdf gets a worthless torpedo. Yes, worthless because only in PVP is it of any use and worthless because its so slow you can outrun it at half impulse.
- No fixes to any KDF issues.
- No new KDF ships, items or anything.
- Starting level 1 is pointless in a game where you reach level 50 in less than 3 days. Endgame is where its at and endgame KDF only gets a 'please bend over some more' every patch.
- New Reputation weapons = KDF elite fleet weapon proc. Not surprisingly, there are no Fed elite weapon proc found in same said reputation weapon store.
-
TRIBBLE'd:
- Romulans get insanely overpowered cloaking ships and cloak abilities the KDF is locked out of (cloak damage bonus/cloak timer reduction space traits for example).
- Romulan faction has received enormous bonuses that can be stacked in their favor which are not available to fed or kdf. Plasma damage items,stats,traits, etc. KDF gets TRIBBLE'd here because it is a fact the kdf is now the third faction on a priority list that used to be 99% fed stuff 1% romulan. Now it will be something like 90% romulan 9.9999% fed and kdf .0001 priority. Did you not notice the horde of fed issue fixes coming this patch which was done while they worked on romulan stuff? notice too there are NO KDF fixes? That tells you all you need to know.
- New Reputation weapons = KDF elite fleet weapon proc. Not surprisingly, there are no Fed elite weapon proc found in same said reputation weapon store.
False. Brandon stated that the Lockbox weapons cause added Bleedthrough, while the KDF Elite Disruptors lower Shield Resistance.

The upcoming major changes are a good start for KDF, however we are still neglected
for example romulan boff costumes were fixed in days on tribble, yet no one thought to fix the enemy faction boff costume for KDF at the same time?
I have the feeling KDF will continue to be ignored except in cases that it overlaps with the other factions
OMFG!

Then came LoR's news. The empty slot is still empty, prepared to see all new content in style.
May 21st might be the end for a certain title I have for almost 3 months now...

Should change it all from disenchanted to "This Far, No Further" especially with Fed's getting Plasmonic Leech.
If you Fed's want our continued support and respect, how about doing something for us and start hammering Cryptic by boycotting the new lockboxes or just lockboxes in general? This is going to see a massive exodus of good players mark my words if Cryptic don't get their act together. We saw an exodus of good players over Fed's getting carriers.

False. Brandon stated that the Lockbox weapons cause added Bleedthrough, while the KDF Elite Disruptors lower Shield Resistance.
False. Look at them in game. They do reduce resists on shields. Not as much as the kdf elite proc but its there.
Oh, and by the way, Aceton Assimilators are no longer immune to energy damage. HOORAY. Bend over some more.
I guess you're refering to the -5 resistance? Thats hull resist, like all disruptors.
