For me I think I can sum up my experience now having tinkered with it a bit. For oce for me simply and quicky as someone who has only ever used the install launcher until now.
If this is you first multi-game launcher,its a bit rubber handed in terms of the accessibility to the content of the game you want.
If you play just sto, this is imo a pain in the TRIBBLE in general.
If you play more than one pwe game then this may be of more use to you.
Personally I only play sto, almost all day, almost everyday, I don't play any other game.
So I just prefer the ingame laucher to get started and sit trawling the forums whilst I relax over a beer in the evening.

People hate Steam, Origin, Uplay - for some reason.
Anything that organizes a twisted crazy hard disk into categories isn't bad. In fact, Arc isn't a virus or anything, it's very helpful as a news reader and feature announcements.
One true thing, people will hate. But that makes them happy. let them hate. Make your own decision, let it not be changed with any hater.
Just how it is, sorry some won't like arc no matter if it came with a free lifetime sub.
People have told them we don't like it, they haven't said a word or even acknowledged that. They chugged on forward. I offered to retype a list of improvements that I accidentally lost if someone just responded and acknowledged me, no one ever did.
Some people, like you, may think Arc is good and you're entitled to like it. That's fine. But don't tell us that we should like it too.
The way I see it, Arc is a good thing for the game and PWE games in general. It will make things much more compact and efficient. I also love the interface, it only needs to be a little more structured. I love how the news is represented. I can't wait for all PWE games to be combined in to Arc. It will be like Steam but better. Who agrees?
I completely agree. Arc is very usefull and efficient, you even get goodies for using Arc! Everyone should use Arc.

I don't know if this is megatrolling or sarcasm, but there is nothing compact or efficient about ARC.
Takes multiple steps to get into STO with ARC, compared to just a double click with the existing launcher. And it hogs computer memory and bandwidth, which discriminates people who aren't wealthy enough own high end gaming rigs or lucky enough to have an ISP with unlimited bandwidth.
And the website takes you all over the place instead of simplistic function that the old STO website had that got you the information you needed at a glance.
I have no issues with ARC. I am used to Steam and Raptr for other things and ARC does not strike me as being any more problematic them those systems. I am not currently using ARC, but I do understand that eventually it will be mandatory - just as the CPs to Zen, PWE Account Merge, and Forum changes were.
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.
Arc is a great program and I cannot WAIT for it to be implemented. I think that players need to be more optimistic about it, because it is the way of the future for PWE games. This is a thread meant to point out the good parts of Arc and the bad parts. No doubt that there are bad parts, parts that need to be fixed. But if Arc is perfected, it will help bring all PWE games into a compact website. I hope that these forums also become a part of the Arc website, that would be awesome!
Overall, Arc is a great program and me and my friends support it. Although I may not agree with sunbob's signature, I do think that Arc will increase the amount of gamers across the world and bring more functionality to PWE. Me and my friends love Arc so much. Arc will help PWE too.
I FULLY support Arc and hope that people become optimistic about it.

Well, you're not convincing me. ARC is an unnecessary resource hog that looks ugly and unprofessional and spies on my computer. I wouldn't download it for a free Galor and 500 ZEN.
A bugship, an account-wide JHDC unlock, a thousand lobi, a free LTS, and 10,000 ZEN, though...Yeah, I'd tolerate it, and just surf nothing but TRIBBLE, and use another computer to write my novel and stuff.
I CAN be bought. But the prices that they have offered so far are laughable.

Look sir, I don't know which company your working for PWE or Cryptic, but your a propagandist and simply trying to start Pro ARC movement, so as to create opposition.
This is a strategy that has been used by governments the world over for years.
I am calling you on it, and I am telling anyone reading this thread that's what this is, this is not a real player but nothing more then a sham account, who's join date was set back to give it a semblance of legitimacy.
Folks, do not fall for it, the community is firmly against ARC and pretty much any Pro threads are creations of PWE.
And the fact that PWE is resorting to this only tells me, they are desperate to find some kind of approval for ARC.
Folks, PWE is going to institute ARC regardless of your distaste for it, much in the same way they have done all their other changes over your objections.
At some point the community will decide to abandon this game, and leave these greedy horrible people behind but not today.
But keep watch and learn the lessons that this game and everything PWE has done to teach us about the corprocratic system that has grown up around us. And hopefully use these lessons to curtail such behaviors in future games.

Look up my forum name and go to the last page, which shows posts WAY before we even HEARD of Arc. I'm stating my opinion: I like Arc. If you don't, I will point out the good stuff but if you end up not agreeing, I'm perfectly OK with it.

Managing your Subscription should not be under Guides - you need to click on Guides, then Gold Subscription, then log into your Account from Sign Up Now. That is way too many steps. Account access should be available either from My Account under your Name or from a direct tab.
Plus when I see Guides I 'am think game and player guides rather then direct game/account material.

Again, some people don't want yet another piece of software to manage. Others don't find it useful even after trying it. Some find it meaningless since they already have a front end for managing games. Some don't trust the software yet, or may never will. These are valid arguments.
This would not have gotten the reaction it has if it was a simple unified patcher/launcher. But its trying to be way more than it needs to be.
once again you have no ground to stand on cause they have said over and over that one it is still beta and two down the road it is going to be a unified launcher/patcher.
People have told them we don't like it, they haven't said a word or even acknowledged that. They chugged on forward. I offered to retype a list of improvements that I accidentally lost if someone just responded and acknowledged me, no one ever did.

This is not feedback. This is a temper tantrum.
I have provided feedback, describing to PWE my experiences with Arc. Since there has not been a new iteration yet (it's been less than a month, after all), I have no idea if they're addressing my issues, which primarily have to do with running the program on an older computer. However, if said issues are not addressed, well, I always have Steam, which doesn't cause me any of the runtime issues.
Advertising I don't mind. It helps pay for the game, so I don't have to.
People hate Steam, Origin, Uplay - for some reason.

Im sorry but these programs do not defragment your hard drive. They waste precious ram that could go towards making the game run smoother.

Except in realty, they have little to no effect what so ever, the only way they would have any real effect is f you are using a old computer that has some issues playing the game in the first place.
They are useful for those who do play multiple games, for example i Play Neverwinter as well and it is easier to deal with one big launcher instead of multiple launchers dev side

It is still an efficient method of combining all of the websites into one thing, which will really help organize players.

Wait, animated cleavage bimbettes?

nah, if I need the thrill I can sneak peeks at Playboy. No need for PWE ads.

At this rate STO should be shut down, there is nothing Star Trek anymore except the name and the occasional actor that played a part in the franchise.
