i guess the major pvp update for season 9 will never happen if they stop calling the major content releases seasons eh?
:P
Actually, they've stated ion a couple of interviews, only the impending May Update in NOT being called a Season (as in their mind, it's bigger than a normal 'Season Update'); and that they may go back to calling an Update a 'Season' again, depending on intent/size. Although does tghat mean the first post May Update with 'Season' status would then inherit the "Season 8' name since even though the May Update was first referred to as 'Season 8' - it lost that title?
Yep, seems 'Cryptic' to me too.
As for the fabled PvP Update - remember - Gozer was assigned to that 'full time', until he left (again) for a different game development company (happens all the time) in July of 2012 - and since, no STO Dev has been assigned/taken ownership of said PvP Update liike Gozer had (althoufgh Borticus has been tweaking existing STO PvP for better or worse since Gozer left).
^^^
Thus, with no one assigned full time to working on revamping STO's PvP; there's no telling when (or if) the 'PvP Update' will happen (Be it in May, or a future STO Update).

Actually we were told a Dev was assigned to take over where Gozer left, but no name was given and I was led to assume it was a very new junior one.

pretty sure we are waiting on never winter to ship, so they can use their pvp architecture code and put it in STO. it sounds like if they want to do any changes or add maps right now, they have to do it coding in binary or something lol
I shudder at the thought of what might break when the NW code gets merged back in...

Well that explains the persistant I win button tacticals have and the continuous oblivious nerfs science has continued to endure.

People will complain that Dual Heavy Magic Missiles are OP compared to Magic Missile Arrays. Nobody will question WTF Magic Missiles are doing in STO, but they will still complain that Dual Heavy Magic Missiles are OP compared to Magic Missile Arrays...
...oh yeah, FAW still won't work right with the Magic Missile Arrays.

Hey, most of the series only made it to seven seasons anyway, so it would be fitting. STO will obviously continue on, so might as well call the massive updates something else.
join Date: Sep 2009 - I want my changeling lava lamp!
will it continue or will they just rename and reskin it to battlestar? i jest i jest ;-)
but yea seems a good way to wiggle out of certain promises stahl made since the beginning of time XD on a technicality this ain't season 8 so they are under no obligations to do what they said they would bodes ill for crafting/pvp/balance
coming soon TM! est delivery-when the hell we feel like it!

I still think there's no reason to change the naming scheme for their major updates (and code syncs) just because this one is 'really big.' It's only going to lead to confusion by calling it anything other than Season 8, and especially if the December update goes back to being called a season.
To the devs: just say this is the biggest season release STO has ever had. Problem solved.

I remain empathetic to the concerns of my community, but do me a favor and lay off the god damn name calling and petty remarks. It will get you nowhere.
I must admit, respect points to Trendy for laying down the law like that.
