    We don't have an exact time yet, otherwise I would have included it :P Once it officially begins (Tribble is patched and available for Open Beta), I'll be sure to update the blog, update the OP, make a post to this thread, Tweet, Facebook and yodel about it from the top of our office building.

    Cheers,

    Brandon =/\=

    Take a video of this and share it with us, please.

    played the latest offering on tribble, mostly good audio overlay but in did notice some of the audio overlapping in some places, most notably when the tutorial dialogue overlaps with some other on screen dialogue. this made it very hard to hear what was being said by eather of the speaking parts although you mostly got the start of the first dialogue and the end of the second dialogue and only missed 10-20 seconds of the two where they overlapped.

    When I think about everything we've been through together,

    maybe it's not the destination that matters, maybe it's the journey,

     and if that journey takes a little longer,

    so we can do something we all believe in,

     I can't think of any place I'd rather be or any people I'd rather be with.

    that could help cryptics dev team, post it on the tribble forum section.

    Test weekend starts Friday. It'll start after a patch that'll go to Tribble is applied and they bring the Tribble server back up. From there until Monday at roughly 10 AM Pacific, if you'll get 1 hour of play time on Tribble you'll qualify for the 1 exclusive reward that'll be announced and made available some time after Legacy of Romulus launches.

    Would be nice to do it, if I am able to get off the ESD. Server Not Responding 300 Sec already. :mad: The longer you are managing the Star Trek license, the more you are dragging the good name of the series and Gene Rodenberry's legacy through the mud.
    OK, if I have to stay here for a while, your cieling ... looks idious.:D

    Silly question but is the open beta only for subscribers?... been reading some of the chats on facebook and some are saying only subscribers can use the open beta. Just curious?

    Nope, everyone can use the Tribble Test Server. :)

    No, official time still? It tells me, "You do not have permission to create a new character." I can't make a Klink char either but, I assume this is because I copied my Klink over from Holodeck?
    When you see patch notes on Tribble, then you'll know it's close. :)

    Right now only those in Closed Beta can make a Rom or KDF.
    STO is about my Liberated Borg Federation Captain with his Breen 1st Officer, Jem'Hadar Tactical Officer, Liberated Borg Engineering Officer, Android Ops Officer, Photonic Science Officer, Gorn Science Officer, and Reman Medical Officer jumping into their Jem'Hadar Carrier and flying off to do missions for the new Romulan Empire. But for some players allowing a T5 Connie to be used breaks the canon in the game.

    is anyone even in open beta yet or have they not patched it yet? the impression i was getting was that some people were able to make chars and some weren't, which smells like a bug to me. one i happen to be affected by =(

    As I just stated in the post right above yours, when they are about to patch the tribble forum will post patch notes, just like the regular forum does. Hack, Brandon's answer is only a few posts above yours. :)

    i hope this open beta doesnt start later in the day in europe while the americans get more then 2 days and a bit worth of testing. i would be annoyed by it being late in the day. its coming up 7am pst/3pm bst. so branflakes should be around by now to hopefully pick off some news about the open beta before its too late to gain the most feedback possible over the week.

    Most of Cryptic's employees won't even be in the office for another 2+ hours. They need to get in, verify the patch, set a patch time, and then load the patch. I wouldn't expect that to happen before 10 or 11 am, their time.

    i have seen instances in the past where things were done early in the morning by cryptic staff, like a patch and such and im not surprised if there are a few cryptic staff in overnight to keep things running at a moments notice. it wouldnt take much to ask one of these people to get the patch released at a set time days in advance to avoid logistical problems, this includes making sure the whole package is also ready for usage days in advance throug hthe varification and such. cryptic have been burned in the past for bad quality patching and rush to release a new one as soon as possible.

    Your posts are really just starting to sound like nerd angst: "I really, really, really, really want to play and they won't let me. Why can't they do it faster? " :)

    Cryptic works at it's own pace. If that means you don't get to play in the Open Beta until tomorrow, so be it. Sorry for you, but Cryptic's not going to rush something out the door just because you need to go to bed early on a Friday night. :)

    The Open Beta is for everyone, not just you. It does no one any good for them to to rush it out the door and then just need to re-patch it 3 hours from now.

    It would be so very very cool (or hot rather) if we could get a Tholian Boff as a reward. Or maybe as a non-combat pet, full enviroment suit walking after you everywhere. Except on deamon worlds of course.

    if you feel that bias thats your problem i frankly couldnt careless, the same about the game or if i get in or not, but it doesnt hurt to ask around all the same.

    Chances are, your toon is already copied. I've logged in, played with a respec, deleted the toon, logged out, recopied, logged back in, and a new fresh copy was already there -- no wait. But hey, TRIBBLE could happen that might make it take two hours... they're just coverin' their office rollychair warmers...
