When i found out about the nerfs of the reps, i stopped doing them. I wasted months doing my reps.....all so it can be nerfed. Waste of time, waste of resources, all for nothing
I believe God created the universe, because he knew we wanted to explore. So, he made us a playground...

don't think im going to waste my time on the reps anymore. no point when there are very little benefits now.
I saw a post where the devs were playing on tribble, nice to know they got plenty of time to play on tribble and nerf things, but no time for hundreds, if not, thousands of bugs and glitches in the game.
The love i have for this game, is slowly dying a painful death.
I believe God created the universe, because he knew we wanted to explore. So, he made us a playground...
I think it's hysterical that so many people are commenting on this not being released on a Thursday, and how that means "Cryptic must have learned from their mistakes".... Where have you guys been?
The original launch date, was a Tuesday.
Season 1, released on a Wednesday.
Season 2, was released on a Tuesday.
Season 3, released on a Thursday.
Season 4, released on a Thursday.
Season 5, released on a Thursday.
Season 6, also released on a Thursday.
Season 7, went live on a Tuesday.
LoR, went live on a Tuesday.
Season 8, went live on a Tuesday.
Season 9, will go live on a Tuesday!
So only 4 out of 11 release dates for major content (4 out of 10 if you exclude initial release) have happened on a Thursday. Whereas 6 out of 11 (5 out of 10 if excluding launch) will have happened on a Tuesday, with just 1 random release on a Wednesday... So Tuesday is actually the most common release day for major content updates...
Join date is wrong, I've actually been around since STO Beta.
True alters don't have a "main". Account wide unlocks for all unique event rewards!!
The art team is STO's biggest asset. They go A&B on literally every possible occasion.
You hear that, Tacofangs? You should be lead dev, and then some!
Nooo! if he becomes lead dev he wouldn't have time for awesome environemnts anymore. hough a bit more decision power with what should be put on a map wouldn't hurt.
Doesn't anyone else remember what happened to the last ship that launched from spacedock incomplete??? Remember... Tractor beams were supposed to be installed on Tuesady? Medical crew was supposed to report for duty on Tuesday???
Didn't that ship experience something nasty, just hours out of Spacedock???
::Hoping for the best, expecting the worst, Nexus Style::
So, delivery on tuesday should be good thing then, right? Imagine them launching on thursday and having the bug fixes not delivered until tuesday!!! XD
I'm supposed to be excited. And I was.. until I learned that Hawk is going to nerf my reps for 50%, and leave me with 4 measly passives. So, now I'm not so excited any more. In fact, I'm wondering whether I ever want to do another rep again. I'm going to get a gimped ship, come season 9, and a dev I can no longer trust to let us keep what they dangled in front of us to get.
Warping off.
Actually, I came to the realization that I wasn't really enjoying myself grinding these reps out. And I had quite a few alts that needed to be brought up to speed. So this ultimately has saved me time, I won't be grinding these out anymore.
I'll just continue to grind my fleet holdings and dilithium, Thanks Cryptic for lightening my load somewhat, although I feel you may regret that you've done so, as I'm not spending as much time in game as I used to.
Check for yourself.
Now, start nerfing consoles and save me some money too.
I have to say that I feel much the same way some of you feel in that doing reps is now pointless. Why grind anymore if Cryptic is likely to take away the passives we'll be earning now? I, for one, will be finishing Dyson on my two alts and then I'm done. No more reps. I will probably do a few undine events to see what it's like but I'm done grinding like a fool.
What the devs did to ESD looks amazing. I also like the buffs that they did to rep gear and the ease of leveling in reps. However I am not a fan of the 4/4/4 rep trait system. This kinda killed grinding reps for me because the only 2 you need now are the romi and omega reps. I may do the Undine rep for the gear but I saw that you only offer phaser and disruptor energy types as rewards.Wich killed the want to do that rep. Is there any plans on adding plasma based gear to that rep for romi toons? Or possibly adding a romi ground set to the romi rep in the future?

I dont play my rom toon much but that may change to level up next week. However I agree the only way to have a romulan build is to do the romulan rep nothing else has plasma weaponry. I hold little hope that this season will be any good but another season of grind. I wish we could go back to the day before Season 7 when the reps began and I was actually enjoying the game content and not getting burnt out by it and having to take breaks

So April 22nd is the last time I'll be able to toggle off and on the visuals for my kit and armor. It will be missed, and I'm not spending money on costume slots just for that.
some nice changes, but not enough for my taste/the ones i'm waiting for (yeah, i'm a customer. idc :P ). so somehow that new accord sounds like ol' b-minor to me :rolleyes:
Only thing I'm looking forwards to is the eventual kit changes that are coming.
Star Trek Battles member. Want to roll with a good group of people regardless of fleets and not have to worry about DPS while doing STFs? Come join the channel and join in the fun!
i hope that at the time S9 goes live we wil have solved the laging , disconect problems a lot of folks are having now the game is on some moments un-playable
Only thing I'm looking forwards to is the eventual kit changes that are coming.
I'm actually looking forward to the new ESD interior, the new character complexion and the new kits.
I've played one Undine assault, It was okay, don't think the group and I were doing it right, so my first impression was meh. Maybe, It will be more fun when I get a clue.
But by and large, ESD is the only thing that's knocked my socks off. At least that's something.
Not happy with the changes to the rep system TBH. But I'm not raging over it, I'll just stop doing them.
I'm kinda interested in the next lock box, but I gotta say, interest overall is waning with this particular player. I hope I'm just being unreasonable.
I've missed out on most of S8.5 due to my income going away and being unable to afford internet. S9 looks like more of the same, but with repgrinding a bit more painless and other improvements. I really hope that this kit frame concept doesn't render crafting even more pointless than it already is (but it probably will). I also hope existing kits can be traded in for components to use in a kit frame, too.
God crafting needs to be fixed. As it stands, I have to play Space Engineers or Starbound for my crafting-in-a-space-game fix. And building Trek ships in those, while fun, is super annoying (at least in Space Engineers, because you have to put a thruster on each directional axis of the ship so that once it gets going, you don't have to pull a BSG-style Viper "flip-n-burn" maneuver in a ship the size of a Galaxy-R. Which ruins any Defiant concepts for me.)
Am I the only one who noticed that April 22 is EARTH DAY? Is that a total coincidence, or do the dev's at least have some sense of irony?
Now if we could just get some dev's who are at least Star Trek fans, and produce some really thoughtful content. After all, the Federation was built on diplomacy and science, not just pounding aliens into submission at the business end of a phaser. Some of the best missions are those that require the solution of a logical, but unexpected problem...

Yes, the new ESD is very shiny, hopefully that means people won't notice the remaining bugs, STF payout nerf, rep trait nerf, still broken crew mechanics, additional timegating . . .

Wow, looks like ESD got a little ****ed up there. Interesting indeed.
Makes perfect sense, story-wise, with getting the new ESD that we do.

Xindi may show up in a future sector [17]
Exploration revamp [35]
Removing Exploration system altogether (i.e., the auto-generated missions in star clusters) is being considered as of early 2014. Star cluster Duty Officer assignments would be moved elsewhere. [3]
Original plans were dependent on changes being introduced with the Fleet Advancement system and Fleet ownership of Starbases [29]
Including distribution of anomalies in various star clusters [44]
More about specific species and less about randomness, like with the Deferi [45]
New exploration-related minigame [45]
Level cap increase...
...to Admiral / General (level 60) [42][16][38]
Ability to command a task force of other starships captained by your bridge officers [7][17][42]
Revamped versions of Typhoon & Jupiter class dreadnoughts is a possibility [37][46]
...to Fleet Admiral / Dahar Master (will be maximum skillpoint cap; was in design as of February 2013, had originally been planned to happen by early 2014) [6][47][48][17][24][46][49]
Tier 6 ships, intended to be flown by Fleet Admirals [35][50]
Revamp of remaining un-revamped episodes [4]
Romulan Mystery
Cardassian Struggle
Fek'Ihri Return
New playable faction [38], e.g., Cardassian playable species [37]
Return to Cardassian story would most likely be to launch a Cardassian faction with a story that players could experience for themselves [51]
Fundamental revamp of State of Q, possibly copy-pasting Avery Brooks' voice for Benjamin Sisko from DS9: "Emissary" and, ideally, featuring John de Lancie as Q. To be re-introduced as stand-alone mission at some future point of time [4]
Long-term goal of Reputation System: KDF/FED/ROM-specific reputation factions that function as voting system in which the players decide which project to fund, thereby influencing the general direction of their whole faction (e.g., which fleet ships are going to be released next etc.) [9]
More mini-games
"[...] entirely new mini-games that tie directly into your career" [52]
Poker (dependent on developer free-time; very unlikely in short term as of July 2012) [23][53][54]
Ships
Last remaining canon Federation ships will come, including new designs that may not have a unique console [51]
Stargazer/Constellation class possibly with "Picard Maneuver" [2][1]
Constellation class saucer is ingame as of the 11th of February 2014, accidental release which is now unavailable though owners of a ship using the saucer retain it
Model of an existing IP ship ("little bit more of an obscure ship") already build, will be released when special power is finished [3]
New Orleans, Freedom, and Niagara classes [25]
Refit Negh'Var [3]
Retouching stats of Nebula and Vesta classes [4]
"Metric ton" of new ships by the end of 2014 [3]
I think Neverwinter is going to beat STO to it when their next module is released in May.
