    You know bragging makes no sense, there's no losers here, since we're all going to be able to play the new content.

    I dunno about you but I kinda feel like a looser .
    No epic long STF's , no Shadows (errrr I mean Iconian) invasion ... (but we do get the Shadows , errr I mean Iconians 'associates' ) .

    I'm also not really jazzed about the Rommy's .
    I'm happy 4 those who are , but this update just reminds me the way the grind was introduced :
    S.6 = grind
    S.7 = more grind

    Now it's :
    S.7 = Romulans
    S. Not 8 = more Romulans

    I'm ready for a variation on the Main Theme -- and I do mean more than once a year .
    I'm ready for one Season of this , another Season of that . Stop the repeating theme .
    That's boring .

    To all the naysayers who said there would be no Romulan faction, I say:

    LOL! In your face!!

    This, ladies and gentlemen, is how to handle being right with the least grace and maturity possible.

    I've been here since beta and all the TRIBBLE that's been done since the game came out. The Year of Fail, the broken promises and bones thrown to the Klingon Faction, the joke that was the Galaxy-X Dreadnaugt. And of course the grind, oh lord, the grind.

    What worries me all this hype, all this build up and it's gonna fall flat on it's face so hard it'll leave a crater.

    I would like to see the level of smugness displayed once the "season" is released. I would bet good money that Romulan whines outweigh KDF ones...

    TBH we have no idea about what's going to be the Tholian faction. I hope we'll get at least two new STFs (a ground and a space one) and a new ground set. Why not? If the devs read the forums carefully, they know we want new challenging content. There's been a mega thread about upgrading the old stfs to the Hive level during the season 7 tribble testing. We'll see if they remember it.

    I agree. At least two stfs for the Tholian marks. They will propably feature the tholians as our foes.
    Let us wear Swimsuits on Foundry maps or bridges please! I would pay zen for that.

    I never doubted that Romulans would get more a presence in the game, though I must say I'm surprised to see what looks like it may be a full Romulan faction. I was expecting something smaller such as a dual-citizenship type deal where you would start on the Romulan side but eventually start sharing missions with the Federation and KDF with the occasional Romulan specific thing interspersed.

    If it's a full faction then I'll be very pleased; I just hope that we'll get a free Romulan character slot like we do for KDF.

    Considering that people had the exact same expectations for New Romulus...and we ended up tagging space rabbits instead, I wouldn't be so sure.

    I was wrong [edit: oh wait, I wasn't. LOL.] about the Romulan faction. I was right about the Rage and Tears. They will flow in bucketfuls.

    There is the Azura nebula, the Vault , the Salt vampire Mines beside the epohs.

    And epohs are actually an easy way to grind marks.

    If I could tag Borg puppies for 5 days, then turn it in for an item that in 3 days gives 400 omega marks.... I would be *Happy* .

    I don't think anyone doubted the devs want a Romulan faction. The people who said they didn't think it would happen at this point in time, which included myself, felt that based on the devs' own comments and their history over the last three years, that a true full-faction would take too much time and resources to do.

    After all, when STO turned 3 years old you still had to play 25 levels as a Fed to go into KDF and even then you skipped through 40% of the levels.

    I'm still concerned about the content and how they plan on having enough for 50 levels of Romulan play and an extra 20 levels of KDF play. Hopefully this is something they've been secretly working on since PWE bought them a year and a half ago because then there's a good shot the players will get what they want and expect.

    To you I say:

    LOL!

    Well predictable responses came from all the naysayers, who have all now moved onto naysaying whatever is left to naysay now that they thing they naysaid has proven its anti-nay field was able to withstand the nayionic torpedoes.

    Of course now it's, "Yes but the Romulan faction will suck/won't get enough dev attention/won't have enough players" even though of course we know YOU'LL roll a rommy and so will I and so will... everyone!

    What will really happen is they'll have to finally update the PVP system to accommodate a third faction. Wow a change to PVP for the first time since beta!

    NOW THAT WILL ONLY HAPPEN IF HELL FREEZES OVER.

    I am going to stick with my original opinion: It's better to be cautious and expect the worst, and then be happily surprised, than vice versa.

    AND... If it is a full working faction, STILL remains to be seen (Think KDF), but granted it does look better now than before.
    Don't look silly... Don't call it the "Z-Store/Zen Store"...
    Let me put the rumors to rest: it's definitely still the C-Store (Cryptic Store) It just takes ZEN.

    I thought they previously said we wouldn't be able to fly a Deiderex.

    Now they say we will be able to?

    Which is it?

    I believe they only said we wouldn't be able to fly it as a lockbox ship (unlike the Galor).;)

    I doubted the possibility of a faction because I am very much a pessimist in reagrds to things like this. I am used to being let down by MMO's so I figure...why bother getting my hopes up? It makes for a nice surprise when something DOES go the way you secretly wish it to. I cried last night because I was so happy to hear that we get a faction at last, something that I have been waiting for since back in beta. I suppose I wasn't totally discounting the idea of a faction coming in May, it was more of a "I'm-too-afraid-to-get-my-hopes-up" thing.

    ^^ This one has learned the power of pessimism! Optimists are either right or have something to be down about. Pessimists are either right or have something to be happy about!

    I was sceptical about a faction to be added and came to doubt it more till it was annouced so happy again. Though I wasn't committed which way knowing MMO's in general lol

    They said we wouldn be able to fly it by getting it in a grab-bag...

    Theres a significant diffrence.

    I thought they said no to a 10 console version as well? Or was that just no to a T5 Warbird?

    Considering the Romulan faction must have been under development for at least a year'ish, My guess is that anything related to romulan ships and faction must just have been to throw people off.
