I think we deserve better info from Cryptic on what they are working on and planing to release. We need more polls on what the players actually want to see in the game. And im not taliking about any "possible to be made" when ever if ever.
Sure i do check from time to time on stowiki upcoming content but i want sto community to get pure facts and not any speculations on whats head of us.
Why not give us monthly updates on what you developing and ASK us, do we want it or not.

Nothing matters if the majority thinks nothing matters. i for one dont want to be guided by a blind man.
Dev "We have plans to do A"
Player "Yay! A!"
months later
Dev "We couldn't do A for various reasons. Most of which are business related and we don't have the freedom to go into it."
Player "Die in a fire."
And that's why they don't tell us these things any more.
You will never get that, Cryptic/PWE do not care about the players, they only care about lining their own pocket. A lot of what they say is a lie in the first place, and everyone knows what to expect, more broken ships and consoles in the C-store and more grinding for Rep.
One quick question. Why?

Erm... just cause you don't like the reply's doesn't mean people are griefing you. :rolleyes:

That's literally any game that's online.

Because Cryptic tried that before in the form of Engineering Reports. Problem was, people took everything in those reports as "promises". When the schedule changed or they decided not to do a certain feature, people accused them of not keeping their promises to the playerbase and raged. That's how Dan got his reputation of being a "liar", even if it wasn't really justified.

you will need to accomplish certain task throughout the game but each task has its own rewards, some tasks have better rewards then others and depending on your choices throughout the game may become available to you or may never be available to you, some tasks are great fun but other task can seem like a grind.
you can visit the different zones within the game but they are often changing and though some may get better to visit others might get much worse or even disappear from the game without warning often taking many of the game players with them when they go.
all the time you play the game your character is growing earning different currency's collecting items some that are useful and fulfil certain functions within the game, other items have no use and are classed as vanity items.
only one problem with this game is the creator will never tell you or any of the other players what is to come in the game and what is planned for them personally or the game as a whole, there may be some players that profess a knowledge of what is to come in the game but they are most often so vague about upcoming content you cant really ever believe them and they are often wrong anyway.
many players have said in the past that the game will come to an end very soon but they have always been proved wrong.
so bearing in mind that you will never know where the game will take you or what is likely to come in the game do you want to stop playing?
you want to know the name of the game, that's life.
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.
This. People go all nuts and say they devs broke a promise when they didn't promise anything. They simply said it's what they plan to do. Plans change..
Plus we already have STO Wiki. They go through all the podcasts and interviews and forum statements and try to compile all upcoming information HERE.
Yes, this.
And let's not forget that any content that is actually finalized is worked on very, VERY far in advance. Remember the dev blog that was posted detailing the ship design process? That takes a MINIMUM of six months of work, for a process that is arguably the most refined and modular in all of STO.
By comparison designing, testing, writing, iterating, and executing new content is practically like designing a whole new game to bolt onto your existing game.
And yet some folks like the OP think that somehow Cryptic and STO would be best served if they made their content and design decisions based on FORUM POLLS!
Please. Feedback from players and playtesters is important, but polling the forums is about the worst possible way to gather the information you need to make critical decisions like what goes into your game next.
Fixed that for a much more common outplay. Your version certainly happens, but this one happens a lot more. Take 90% of the speculation about Gecko's twitter hint at a dev blog coming this week or next about something we've been told about and are expecting: Most people seem to expect it to be either something we've been told *won't* happen or some of the same stuff they thought the STO Fugitive twitter account was about.
Heck, just yesterday at least three people were still posting about the Fugitive as if it was the herald of something official, and the time for I-Told-You-Sos was over a month ago.
even by star trek fans?

especially considering the few of us here are the only voice on sto, what 10%? or something like that. however it seems the romulan faction was the exception to this, for the most par it was a good choice but then there is the minifaction thing. some see this once and assume its gonna happen everytime, but PWE isnt like that.
Been around since Dec 2010 on STO and bought LTS in Apr 2013 for STO.
who you calling a mini faction we are a full faction dev said we are!!!!!!

i like tos for being what started it all but yes i do love Voy TNG and DS9 i dont really have a hate tho some fan here can make want to hate on a captain but that for something else to be discuss

youre not so rare, I like it all also, I even like to read some of the fan fiction and watch some of the fan made stuff on you tube, especially the ones that feature some of the original cast members.

Cryptic NEVER info the players on whats going on. They only heads up 1 or 2 weeks before they release something.
They never info the players on what is the status of the -fixing bugs- part. Mostly because they just dont want to fix bugs, and they dont have any info to give to the players. Thats the hard truth. I honestly want crytic to care more about the customers, but today, i dont see many expectations. I just only hope the game will not be dead in 2015. Because that is the way cryptic is leading the game.
Yes: 50%
No: 50%
if company's only put in what the player wanted, the company would never make any money. (many people loathe the lockboxes.... one of STOs main funding sources) lets face it, while some features aren't that welcome by some, others absolutely love them, it's completely impossible to please everyone all the time.
So true. Blizzard still hasn't lived down the dance studio thing. It still comes up on the forums years later.
you want to try reading the release notes every Thursday, may be a little late in the day as it just going out but this is the closest you will get to upcoming changes, and it is most surprising to see the lists of all the bug fixes they have made some I knew of some which I had no idea about but then I suspect a game like sto will never be 100% bug free.
but its like I said in another comment, if everyone spent the next 3 months posting nothing but complaints about the bugs they hate the most the next big update would likely be nothing but bug fixes but they don't all they harp on about is what content they want to see next.

But that said, I do think they need to be a bit more open and communicate more. For example, D'Angelo dropped the news that there was a new PvE event coming, similar to the CE event, in his first interview. Yet still no news as to when it's coming out, even with the Grindiversary ending on Thursday.
The best way for you to 'vote' on things, as a customer, is with your wallet and participation. If you buy something, you're saying "Please sell me more of this!". If you complain about a mechanic, but still log on to play it each day, you're saying "I am willing to do this content, even if I don't like it." If you don't make purchases and ignore an aspect of the game entirely, PvP for example, you're saying "I am not interested in this, spend your development and marketing time elsewhere."
As for upcoming news, follow the podcasts. Al and D'angelo gave away a ton of information recently about what the team is planning and working on for the months ahead.
