wow ppl using a poll to nit pick something when the poll asking for what faction we like to play next was done in 2010 and when did we get romulans 3 years later..... just because something wins a poll dont mean its going to happen right away because we really going to use polls to nit pick then lets nit pick this one http://sto-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=379951 kdf should be getting more content followed by More Feature Episodes and Improve PVP
You ought to improve your English! [It is really hard to read and understand; sorry.]
For the non- Romulan / KDF players, we have had a very long content drought. I would be quite happy to have some more FED content.
Hopefully I'll come back from my break; this break is fun; I play intellectual games.
There are times in all games where the players are asking : "What where they thinking???"
and not to forget : "Who thought that would be a good idea???".
The recent one with dinos with lasers on their heads is one of those times. I really scratched my head when I saw that, and still do, but I will reserve judgement until I have seen Season 8.
Another example is when they removed dilithium from the STF's. They must have known that would cause a major backlash, but they still did it, wich made me go "who thought that would be a good idea???" I mean, really...
But as I said above, nearly all game developers have done things that make the players question said developers sanity, and it will happen again, sad but true...

and you should go be a teacher or come up with a cure for learning disabilities till then dont like it dont post to it and next time dont hide your personal attacks so mods cant see
oh and dont worry feds will get new content like always and rom and kdf will get copy and paste of what feds got
So much innuendo and you both didn't talk about ny of my arguments, just attacked me. This doesn't make me wrong or you right.
I was never in automatic attack mode or that TRIBBLE you said insulting me. But... enough said, so much people here really arguing about what I said and people like you just know to insult.
As soon as your start speculating regarding your perception of someone's "ego", you are in attack mode, or do you regularly have strangers coming up to you commenting on YOUR "ego", with good intentions in mind? Give me a break. If some stranger walked up to one of your family members and commented on their "ego" as YOU did, would you be ok with that? Probably not.
and you should go be a teacher or come up with a cure for learning disabilities till then dont like it dont post to it
When I grow up, I want to be a Professor of Physics.
In-fact I regularly do Lectures at school, courtesy of the teachers allowing me to do; I am a good teacher.
And I will add , I have a learning disability too ... yet I am vastly superior in some things compared to many people in this world. (And that I promise that was not a snide remark.)
Do you like STO? I have hardly seen anything positive from you, and even your second part of your post is a snide remark slagging off Cryptic. If you don't like STO, then why are you on the forums so much?
Hopefully I'll come back from my break; this break is fun; I play intellectual games.
You're the one following the wrong interviews. In the September 20th Interview A Dev, he specifically says quote:
Except that in the paragraph above the one you posted he says 'nerf Escorts (oh the horror!)' which is a direct reference to various comments he has made about the fans being unwilling to accept a nerf to the escort to bring it back in line. He then goes on to say that the way to deal with the problem is to increase the other ships. Then he talks about the comm array for cruisers. In one of the other podcasts he talks about a possible new bonus ability for science ships too. Clearly they do not feel they can neft the escort so improving the other ships seems to be the direction they are going. They wouldn't be increasing the other ships if they thought everything was perfectly balanced.

ppl in all mmos dont wont any thing they use to be nerf so sorry but that not a excuse for a dev to use to not nerf something
next time dont hide your personal attacks so mods cant see
No, it was not an attack, and I was not hiding it. That said, my post was about the Feds getting starved and not really about your English. To be fair, having something in black is almost the oldest trick in the eBook.
Hopefully I'll come back from my break; this break is fun; I play intellectual games.
Quote me where I offended people that disagree with me. Please.
I never lectured anyone with anything, I just pointed out my opinion, if you are not mature enough to understand the difference, please, stop making assumptions about me and start talking about the subjects at hand on the thread.
I never attacked him, just pointed out the behavior that WE ALL have witnessed in the past weeks. Add to that past decisions that many players debated.
"I don't like Geko and I don't have any argument to prove why he is a bad leader", ok that's an attack. What I said was "I disagree with the joke Geko did with the Klingon ship and with some of the decisions they make. The way they portrayed the dinosaurs and other content decisions seems that the DEV team only watch him make decisions out of his ego" That's an argument, with basis and my opinion... see the difference?
Thank you... A lot of people don't even know half the things we already witness.
"Can you drop your ego and create content that make sense?"
Those are your own words, correct? Again, say some stranger walked up and said something like that to your parents, would you be happy with that interaction? I would guess not. But I guess that when YOU'RE not on the receiving end, it's okay to behave in that fashion? And you wonder why the devs don't bother responding to some posts on this forum?

this is the thing not all humans are alike not all humans learn the same way or as fast as other do
and yes i like sto sorry not going to say every thing ok because it star trek if i did that then i would be you and the dev think every thing is ok
ppl in all mmos dont wont any thing they use to be nerf so sorry but that not a excuse for a dev to use to not nerf something
The discussion was about whether or not geko believes ships are balanced. He clearly does not believe they are balanced as he has made several references to being unable to nerf the escort. If geko truly believed there was no balance problem they would not be introducing new abilities to the other ships to make them more powerful. It is clear by cryptic's actions that they know there is an escort problem and they are taking steps to fix it in the only way they can.
oh so that was not blacked out ? i did not have to edit it in my post to show what you had said not every one going to high light every thing that gets posted so ya it was being hidden from all to see
oh so that was not blacked out ? i did not have to edit it in my post to show what you had said not every one going to high light every thing that gets posted so ya it was being hidden from all to see
Seriously daan2006, I am struggling to understand what you are saying, so I have only been able to extrapolate limited information from your reply.
It was not an attack, since I apologised on my original post. It was not also designed to be offensive, it was merely an indicator that your writing is fairly strenuous to read.
And it was not hidden. It was merely put away so one would not diverge as we are currently doing. And FYI, quite a lot of people use the blackout method.
Going back to the original discussion: I have not really followed what are Gekos ideas, but I am happy we are getting content, and I am happy with the content. That I have played.
Hopefully I'll come back from my break; this break is fun; I play intellectual games.
As soon as your start speculating regarding your perception of someone's "ego", you are in attack mode, or do you regularly have strangers coming up to you commenting on YOUR "ego", with good intentions in mind? Give me a break. If some stranger walked up to one of your family members and commented on their "ego" as YOU did, would you be ok with that? Probably not.
As longs they talk about my professional performance, that's fine, we can call this: maturity.
He can take in any way he wants. His interpretation don't change te fact that he is, by his own words, responsible for many decisions that we have been discussing in this thread. Many of those decisions are mentioned in interviews and podcasts, when he even make jokes and innuendo about some of the most requested issues with the game.
So yeah, that quite tell us the type of leader he is and how he handles the player base.
"Can you drop your ego and create content that make sense?"
Those are your own words, correct? Again, say some stranger walked up and said something like that to your parents, would you be happy with that interaction? I would guess not. But I guess that when YOU'RE not on the receiving end, it's okay to behave in that fashion? And you wonder why the devs don't bother responding to some posts on this forum?
Yes, those words are mine.
What this have to do with parents or family? This is a complete different situation and enviroment. We are talking about his ego as a professional and I never insulted him or his parents.
The DEVs don't answers on the forum because they are told to not respond. PWE and Cryptic wants them only interacting with players when is strictly necessary, like clarifing some mechanics behind changes or new a feature implemented.
Mr. Flakes answers us because he is the comunity moderator.
That aside, I agree that the major part of the forum is raging on the DEVs, every game forum out there is like this. We don't need the DEVs talking with us here, we need them fixing bugs and implementing the new content.
The comunication between us and them should be done by Mr. Flakes and Mr. Geko. I think Flakes do this, in his limitation on the hierarchy. Mr. Geko on the other hand never come here, never talk about player requests in a serious way, don't believe me, see some posts in this thread with plenty references with previous interviews and podcasts of him.

Is most impressive how a lot of people don't bother reading and undertanding, but have to do three things:
1 - Insult me, because they think the DEV team is untouchable, maybe gods, and I'm no place of questioning them, even about their professional performances.
2 - Insult me, with no arguments about the thread subject, just want to point out the avatar I use in my profile or that I must be this or that.
3 - Use some repetitive arguments with questionable logic to devaluate me, something said or the whole thread:
A) "Don't talk if you know if the major part of the players agree or not. Just 3% of the player base is here on the forums."
In most countries when 1% of the population sign for a request, the congress has to formaly answer and vote that request. Ok, this is not a democracy, this is a game, but that doesn't stop Cryptic of anwering the players with respect.
And... what's the crime in make an estimate?
Some requests are made by thousands of players, like fixing the ESFTs... is wrong to say that the major part of the player base support this?
Put some logic in it: If you can point out that I'm in no position to say "major something" you're also in no position to say "minor something", where are the numbers?
"You are not a DEV, you know nothing about project management or enterprise administration"
Well... actually I'm a IT Manager, bachelor degree, with solid experience as a developer, also with project management(almost getting my PMI certification). I also have Cisco CCNP Certification, LPIC-2 Linux Foundation Certification, ITIL and COBIT Certifications. I think I maybe have some ground to speak.
Aside that, we are their customers, this grants to me and everyone else the right to question and debate about the game and their performance as professionals. More: Every player have the right to talk about the game and the decisions of the DEV team.
What we all have to do is drop our troll souls and speak with kindness and respect, criticizing yes, but in a constructive way, as I'm trying to do.

That actually is an informative article. I hope some people hear can read it and reconsider their rants. To be vocally unhappy with the direction of a game is one thing, but hte way some of the people have behaved when insulting Cryptic/PWE devs is shameful.

I just hope you're not talking about me, because in the whole thread I never said "I will **** your wife" about any DEV, in fact I will never say something like that.
-- "If we're going to be damned, let's be damned for what we really are." - Jean-Luc Picard
Only in that dev-bashing is an all-too-favorite sport here on the forums, and one that the Mods try to discourage when it goes beyond the usual venting over something they don't like.

A sobering article, indeed. One reason why we have, and enforce, forum rules.
Even Twitter has a ToS, and I can say from personal experience annoying someone (not-a-Dev) with an ill-advised tweet that people can easily be cut off from Following. I assume that someone could possibly lose their Twitter account if the offense is severe enough.
Nobody's suggesting that you're threatening Devs with violence, I hope. I would also hope that if anyone did threaten a Dev here on the forums, that post would be reported immediately.

3 - Use some repetitive arguments with questionable logic to devaluate me, something said or the whole thread:
The problem is that you use totally made-up positions, or ones that defy logic.
In most countries when 1% of the population sign for a request, the congress has to formaly answer and vote that request.
Like this one. There are 193 member states in the UN. (We could go further, but lets make it easy, eh?). Please list the 97 nations where, if 1% of the population signs on to a petition, the government must vote on it.
And... what's the crime in make an estimate?
There is an unsubtle difference between making an estimate and fabricating statistics to support your position.
Some requests are made by thousands of players, like fixing the ESFTs... is wrong to say that the major part of the player base support this?
Like this one. Leaving aside the rather critical point that "fixing" means different things to different people, forum support for changing ESTFs may reach the low hundreds. Not the thousands.
Put some logic in it: If you can point out that I'm in no position to say "major something" you're also in no position to say "minor something", where are the numbers?
Cryptic has them. And they act on them. When they persistently do not act on them, that is prima facie evidence that it is minor.
"You are not a DEV, you know nothing about project management or enterprise administration"
Well... actually I'm a IT Manager, bachelor degree, with solid experience as a developer, also with project management(almost getting my PMI certification). I also have Cisco CCNP Certification, LPIC-2 Linux Foundation Certification, ITIL and COBIT Certifications. I think I maybe have some ground to speak.
You know what certificates are worth, right? Only a little more than claiming to have them on an internet forum.
Aside that, we are their customers, this grants to me and everyone else the right to question and debate about the game and their performance as professionals. More: Every player have the right to talk about the game and the decisions of the DEV team.
What we all have to do is drop our troll souls and speak with kindness and respect, criticizing yes, but in a constructive way, as I'm trying to do.
You have the right to speak. You don't have the right to speak *here*, although no one has deleted your thread, so you don't have a cause for complaint there.
You don't have the right to get all bent out of shape when people disagree with you or point out how your positions show a complete lack of understanding.
"Participation in PVP-related activities is so low on an hourly, daily, weekly, and monthly basis that we could in fact just completely take it out of STO and it would not impact the overall number of people [who] log in to the game and play in any significant way." -Gozer, Cryptic PvP Dev
The problem is that you use totally made-up positions, or ones that defy logic.
Ok... now is you that wants to attack me? Good logic against your own words.
Please, put my arguments and debate on them. Stop attacking me and focus on the thread subject.
Like this one. There are 193 member states in the UN. (We could go further, but lets make it easy, eh?). Please list the 97 nations where, if 1% of the population signs on to a petition, the government must vote on it.
Well, USA, UK, Germany, Spain, France, Brazil, Mexico, Portugal... those are the ones I know you can do this as a citizen.
I said "most", not "major".
Stop trying to upset me using troll phrases like "lets make it ease, eh?", don't tell me you didn't said that trying to upset me.
There is an unsubtle difference between making an estimate and fabricating statistics to support your position.
Ok, to fabricate statistics someone would have to mask a tendency inside the numbers to appear that the statistics favors what you want.
I never mentioned pratical numbers, and never put any statistic number, in this thread or in any other.
So... what I did was a estimate based in my personal experience participating in thread in-game and in this forum.
Like this one. Leaving aside the rather critical point that "fixing" means different things to different people, forum support for changing ESTFs may reach the low hundreds. Not the thousands.
Fixing means only one thing: Make things work right, like those lances from Elite Hive that fire on people from spawning point or when people could end up joining an already failed STF(this I think was fixed).
Do you have the statistics in the number of players that do the ESTFs? Do you have the numbers or are you make an estimate?(fall in your own argument here)
Cryptic has them. And they act on them. When they persistently do not act on them, that is prima facie evidence that it is minor.
Ahhh here we have proof that you are indeed one of those DEV Lovers. Come on, they are not untouchable.
You really believe in that? with all the legitimate BUGs and problems the players have been reporting on the forums?
With all the problems with customer support?
Well, I would say that you need to open your eyes, but... seems you don't want to debate serious things, just defend them and attack me.
You know what certificates are worth, right? Only a little more than claiming to have them on an internet forum.
Well, then I presume you are a experienced leader, with years recruiting people.
Of course only a certification is not proof of a good professional, but it is indeed an element of qualification.
IF you are a good professional and IF you are committed to your career, certifications, the serious ones, are a very good way to acquire knowledge and expand your personal network. But enough, this is becoming personal, I don't want this, because you are trying to upset me.
You have the right to speak. You don't have the right to speak *here*, although no one has deleted your thread, so you don't have a cause for complaint there.
So, you entitle yourself as the one that defines where people should talk? This is the game forum, every player have the ight to speak here or in game, anywhere, It's not your place to define it.
If this thread was against the rules, Flakes would have deleted it.
I'm not complaining about anything related with my rights to post here, it was you who said I had no right to speak about the DEV team or Cryptic.
You don't have the right to get all bent out of shape when people disagree with you or point out how your positions show a complete lack of understanding.
Oh! I see, trying to get me upset, aren't you?
So far I'm answering everyone with respect. If someone disagrees with my opinion, this makes me automatically in obligation to agree with them?
Stop attacking me, debate about the subjects proposed.

I hope they give us some ground explanation about the T-REXs with beams... Season 8 lauch with less queues and bugs than LoR had.
More money to them..
But I also want bugs fixed, Geko talking about player requests with more respect and professionalism(less jokes and misinformed statements).
What is so hard to explain about cybernetic dinosaurs? Voth took domesticated dinosaurs with them when they left Earth just like we will take Chickens, Cows, Horses, Cats, Dogs, and numerous other animals when we leave Earth. We have used Horses for battle for centuries. Klingons are still using Targs in their battles. Equipping a dinosaur with heavy artillery just makes sense. If we could equip artillery on elephants, then certain countries would use them since they don't have to worry about an elephant breaking down. The only problem is the recoil from artillery. Laser artillery wouldn't have any recoil.

Except dinos can't be domesticated and it makes 0 sense to use creatures when artificial constructs are far superior. Read this article on domestication to understand how absurd this whole concept is.

In a Galaxy that can turn a blind man into a assassin, controlling Dinosaurs not that hard.
I choose to ignore the TRIBBLE episodes (don't recall this one). By your logic we should get a season devoted to witches because they were in 1 episode of TOS.

Like this one. There are 193 member states in the UN. (We could go further, but lets make it easy, eh?). Please list the 97 nations where, if 1% of the population signs on to a petition, the government must vote on it.
There is an unsubtle difference between making an estimate and fabricating statistics to support your position.
Like this one. Leaving aside the rather critical point that "fixing" means different things to different people, forum support for changing ESTFs may reach the low hundreds. Not the thousands.
Cryptic has them. And they act on them. When they persistently do not act on them, that is prima facie evidence that it is minor.
You know what certificates are worth, right? Only a little more than claiming to have them on an internet forum.
You have the right to speak. You don't have the right to speak *here*, although no one has deleted your thread, so you don't have a cause for complaint there.
You don't have the right to get all bent out of shape when people disagree with you or point out how your positions show a complete lack of understanding.
Ok... now is you that wants to attack me? Good logic against your own words.
Please, put my arguments and debate on them. Stop attacking me and focus on the thread subject.
Well, USA, UK, Germany, Spain, France, Brazil, Mexico, Portugal... those are the ones I know you can do this as a citizen.
I said "most", not "major".
Stop trying to upset me using troll phrases like "lets make it ease, eh?", don't tell me you didn't said that trying to upset me.
Ok, to fabricate statistics someone would have to mask a tendency inside the numbers to appear that the statistics favors what you want.
I never mentioned pratical numbers, and never put any statistic number, in this thread or in any other.
So... what I did was a estimate based in my personal experience participating in thread in-game and in this forum.
Fixing means only one thing: Make things work right, like those lances from Elite Hive that fire on people from spawning point or when people could end up joining an already failed STF(this I think was fixed).
Do you have the statistics in the number of players that do the ESTFs? Do you have the numbers or are you make an estimate?(fall in your own argument here)
Ahhh here we have proof that you are indeed one of those DEV Lovers. Come on, they are not untouchable.
You really believe in that? with all the legitimate BUGs and problems the players have been reporting on the forums?
With all the problems with customer support?
Well, I would say that you need to open your eyes, but... seems you don't want to debate serious things, just defend them and attack me.
Well, then I presume you are a experienced leader, with years recruiting people.
Of course only a certification is not proof of a good professional, but it is indeed an element of qualification.
IF you are a good professional and IF you are committed to your career, certifications, the serious ones, are a very good way to acquire knowledge and expand your personal network. But enough, this is becoming personal, I don't want this, because you are trying to upset me.
So, you entitle yourself as the one that defines where people should talk? This is the game forum, every player have the ight to speak here or in game, anywhere, It's not your place to define it.
If this thread was against the rules, Flakes would have deleted it.
I'm not complaining about anything related with my rights to post here, it was you who said I had no right to speak about the DEV team or Cryptic.
Oh! I see, trying to get me upset, aren't you?
So far I'm answering everyone with respect. If someone disagrees with my opinion, this makes me automatically in obligation to agree with them?
Stop attacking me, debate about the subjects proposed.

What you said? Nevermind...:D not even the trolls and fanboys make me upset. We are all here debating, aren't we?

What is so hard to explain about cybernetic dinosaurs? Voth took domesticated dinosaurs with them when they left Earth just like we will take Chickens, Cows, Horses, Cats, Dogs, and numerous other animals when we leave Earth. We have used Horses for battle for centuries. Klingons are still using Targs in their battles. Equipping a dinosaur with heavy artillery just makes sense. If we could equip artillery on elephants, then certain countries would use them since they don't have to worry about an elephant breaking down. The only problem is the recoil from artillery. Laser artillery wouldn't have any recoil.
Except dinos can't be domesticated and it makes 0 sense to use creatures when artificial constructs are far superior. Read this article on domestication to understand how absurd this whole concept is.

How many shark tanks do you need to swim in to know it is not a good idea? Dino fanboys make scifi nerds look good.

I choose to ignore the TRIBBLE episodes (don't recall this one). By your logic we should get a season devoted to witches because they were in 1 episode of TOS.
