Blackbeard@furianerbiber: cry"
First off, this isn't a post regarding who said what... This post is to tell Cryptic it's F-ing time to fix this game! Been here supporting your company since the website came out 1 year before the launch of this game... I have seen it grown from an infant game, through to a mature awesome game, and basically now a game that I'm sick & tired of being a part of!
This WAS a decent teamplay, somewhat half balanced, game... however, since Perfect World has became your financial backer, its clear its nothing more than a money pit that PW will send to an early grave. Since the launch of Season 9, where decent tank builds were able w/o using the Aux to .... build, you not only nerfed the tank players, but at the same time, you strengthen the DPSer to a point they don't need a tank or a healer anymore. They can kill so fast & quickly, any other build in the game is mute! You cried that you had to revamp the Rep system in order to prevent the power creep, then 2-4 weeks later, you release an escort with the build strength of a cruiser while still having the firepower of an escort, and guess what, they can Aux to ... build to be super DPSers. Cryptic, its time you get real and resolve this BS! And yes, I'm so tire of the attitudes of these jerks DPSers (quote above as example) over you messing the game up serverely. And if PW is twisting your chains, DUDES, GIVE THEM THE BOOT! Honestly, I'm seriously believing going from Atari to PW was going from bad to worse!
Tired of new content that is nothing more than a mission that sells your new ships, or the grind from HELL. For Christ sakes, get back to what you're original goal was... creating a worthwhile Star Trek MMO! This game was going there, but you guys got sidetrack by trying to make mass money!!! When all the players like myself that play this game because its Star Trek, LEAVE due to getting completely tired of the recent BS that 's coming out in this game... not to mention the maintenances that fix stupid things 1 week, and maybe stabilize the server, only for things to break on the next maintenance with bugs returning.. and then, the serious players have to put up with TRIBBLE like the above quote just because a team player is actually trying to coordinate the mission beforehand... let me ask you, would you want to still support a MMO company that seems to be just trying to milk pockets. And Cryptic, guess what! If the facts about it were really release, I'd bet money that 75% or higher (which I feel I'm being very generous here) of the FTP aren't spending a penny to support your company, and the ones that do, can't hold a candle to the money you make from subscriber players.
I know at one time you all were totally about the game, not the money, so get back to the concept brought out in "Field of Dreams"... Build it and they will come. Just remember, YOU HAVE TO BUILD IT RIGHT FIRST, if you want them (the money) to come!

you can leave through that door over there if you really dont like it.. but make sure its quiet like because "i quit" threads are not allowed. or, you can put up, be quiet and play the game just like some of the rest of us who tried what you tried at somepoint without any success.
on this game DPS rules, it always has and it always will.
Been around since Dec 2010 on STO and bought LTS in Apr 2013 for STO.
Apparently, you took ol' Blackbeard very literally.
Just because someone tells you to cry, doesn't mean you actually have to do it!
If I were a betting man, I'd bet the biggest portion of revenue that this game generates comes from micro-transactions like Zen and Ship sales, and less money is made from actual subscriptions.
But, I do have to admit, there are some over powered builds out there. I wouldn't mind seeing a revamp to the difficulty of Queued Events. Things like making STFs 3 tiered in difficulty settings, the current Elite renamed as Advanced, and a new more difficult version named Elite.
Underlying your complaint about the strategies and tactics of the various owners is the strange assumption that Cryptic had anything at all to say about it--that is, that the folks writing the code and creating the world got to choose. They didn't. Ownership in each case made the decisions, and the rank and file either went along or found new work.
To whom are you speaking exactly? Telling the coders and designers to fix something is ineffective since they don't make those decisions. Berating them for following the instructions of management is abuse, pure and simple. In any event, the sort of person who uses "mute" in place of "moot" isn't someone from whom they should be taking advice.
Tell me another one about how I need a "tank" or a "healer." Since all the mainstream missions are designed to be flown solo, what need have I (or anyone) of those? While the tradition of traveling and adventuring parties goes all the way back to Jason and the Argonauts, it isn't Star Trek. Kirk didn't wait for the USS Soranus or the USS Myrmidon before proceeding on a mission; Picard's Galaxy-class Enterprise from TNG was designed to be self-sufficient for just about all mission profiles. If you're speaking about PVP--well, I wouldn't know about that. Throughout 16 years of playing MMORPGs I've refused to engage in PVP, and I won't be starting tomorrow.
I have that new escort you don't like. It's agile (not as good as Jem'Hadar attack ship), decently strong (better than a Kumari, but not as good as an Avenger), and packs a decent punch. Were it as overwhemingly good as you say, everyone would be flying it--but that doesn't seem to be the case. The Undine space battle zone (for example) seems to me to contain the same mix of ships it always has.
In more than a decade-and-a-half of playing MMORPGs I've yet to see a game with combat where some--or a lot of--people didn't obsess about DPS. (I don't--but I'm an explorer at heart, not a fighter.) I'd like STO a lot more if it was less about "vaping" enemy ships and more about exploring strange new worlds and seeking out new life and new civilizations--but I suppose those sorts of games don't sell well. (That other franchise is, after all, called Star Wars, not Star Mild Disagreements.)
STO has to compete in a marketplace in which there's an awful lot of explosions and DPS, whether they be scientific or magical. STO survives on market share just like every other game out there. In order for it to remain competitive, it might not be able to be as "pure" as I'd like it, or as "balanced" as you'd like it. Were either of us to be successful in asserting our respective visions of the game, we might find we had no game at all in a very short time. I don't find that to be a desirable outcome; I've never been a fan of Pyhrric victories. Perhaps you are.
Trust the cats. We're here to help!

it was a pleasure to fly with you. sorry that we wasnt fast enough to show you how fast this round can be.... it happens when we fly with guys like you, inexperienced, unskilled and underpowered. this may be not the problem, because if you would ask us friendly, we could help you to polish your ship and make some 28000dps with your oddy. but maybe its easier for you to cry you out on pw or this game, dont know. and btw..... its more important to have an great teamplay with your dps-monsters as you might think.
so, dont cry to long, and start to play.....
greetings
the one who was flying with you in this mission........
btw, I laugh still

Did you skip Season 7? Or 8 ... or 8.5?
And btw. the best DPS builds don't use Aux2Bat.

now i have nothing against low dps builds if it brings joy to the person...but keep it to single player. When you join an actual hard group mission you are doing nobody a favour.
being bad at a game is one thing...feeling entitled to demand nobody else should be better is the pinnacle of ignorance.
THOSE are the big issues of the game right now, and i really dont see a point reading , again stupid commentaries from someone that only complains because you dont have the things like you wanted. I see a lot of people complaining about things they want to be changed, new things they want, things they dont like and they wish they were in other way.. etc, but i dont see people complaining about all the accumulated bugs and fails this game have. Unbelievable, and the worst part is, its always the same story. And so you know, nothing will change until players realize that cryptic is not going to change their way of work because they keep gaining a lot of money from the customers. But people will never learn.
What? The game would have died if it stayed under Atari. We went from a hiring freeze and no cups in the kitchen to a full expansion pack with another one coming at the end of the year. The game may not have turned out how you wanted it, but you're seriously delusional if you think that Atari was better than PWE. That's out there.

I understand what you are talking about but the group you posted is pretty weak in dps
Cryptics goal with Fleets was to keep people in the game longer which paid off and made large groups of veteran players
We veteran players teach out new players the short cuts to make powerful builds in our fleets
its easy and cheep to take the temptest and make 10k builds with it that can tank like cruisers or dps like a jhas
and if you have a student who will listen.....you can do it pratically free and in about a month from hitting level 50 without spending 100s of million of ec buying space doffs
Our fleet can take 5 blackbeards into a stf and complete it in 3 or 4 minutes...doesnt matter what stf except Kitomere which just naturally takes few minutes longer
this is with Fed ships mind you not romulans ...romulans would be even shorter. They hit much harder
2 or 3 vet players in a elite STF break it..... your right ..the DPS is so high..........you do not need tanks
science ships arnt needed there a liability to dps
cruisers or escorts can solo the content with DPS alone much much faster than having a tank or science along
and that is game breaking
Saphire.. Science ground......Ko'el Romulan space Tac
Leva........Tactical ground.....Koj Romulan space Eng
JJ-Verse will never be Canon or considered Lore...It will always be JJ-Verse
i haven't even finished my coffee yet.
Lets start out with: this looks like a pug. if so then you've already lost my sympathy.
Blackbeard should not be taunting you like that. it's bad form and uncalled for.
He should remember that he was a terribad n00b once and required someone else's help/coaching to get his DPS up.
*note: i've checked the DPS channels and he isn't a member. please don't judge all DPSers according to this guys attitude.
Moving on, there is no excuse for doing 2.6k DPS. you can unbox most T5 ships and fly them as is into ISE and get 6k-10k DPS.
you may be having fun but it is a team event, you are ruining someone else's fun by slowing down the run and taking DPS away from others. You aren't DPSIng, you aren't tanking, and i'm willing to bet you didn't throw anyone a single heal to anyone but yourself.
Instead of throwing a temper tantrum and typing out a raging and barely comprehensible wall of text, put some effort into doing some research or even asking for help/advice.
Improve yourself before blaming everyone else.
As I'm a bit into psychology, I really must wonder about your mental condition. You let some snobby azz 12 year old with a fancy shiny build get under your skin? In a GAME. Where you play for fun? Oh and lets not mention that if you join a good fleet and ask for build help you can have a build that'll do insane damage for around 800k energy credits (depending on type of ship and energy type) and then they can't tease you. Yeah lets just go to the forums and rage and whine and complain.
Grow the fudge up sir, get a thick skin, join a good fleet, and ask for help. If you can't do this, well frankly STO is better off without you, there's the airlock, use it, there's a good boy
(I still want your EC before you go)
Dude
If you need a Noob's EC
you sir need to ..................LTP.......................
because 'quote' ( frankly STO is better off without you ) end of quote
Hows your skin thickness ?
Saphire.. Science ground......Ko'el Romulan space Tac
Leva........Tactical ground.....Koj Romulan space Eng
JJ-Verse will never be Canon or considered Lore...It will always be JJ-Verse
There are still warp core breaches and getting shot at before someone else's aggro spools up.
So new players are usually getting the threat and cant deal with it
Saphire.. Science ground......Ko'el Romulan space Tac
Leva........Tactical ground.....Koj Romulan space Eng
JJ-Verse will never be Canon or considered Lore...It will always be JJ-Verse
The STO is better off without you comment, that was saying if he wasn't going to do the work necessary to improve himself but come here and try to nerf other players so he doesn't look as bad, STO doesn't need that kind of negativity in our community.
My skin thickness is fine
just get out a mop and a shovel and make the best out of it.
This goes to at least one of the OP's point - Cryptic has broken the game balance so badly. There are consoles and resists that just are going in all the wrong places.
But this is/has become almost a pure pay to will game - some will claim grind to win - but most is a mix of pay to win and grind to win.
The classes are completely unbalanced. The game almost screams solo play. Other than the chat option I sometimes wonder how they call this an MMO
Hey OP
Beam fire at will has been promised to get a major nerf/re-work from the devs - every time they do something with it it gets broken and not "re-worked"
There are many many veteran PvP players that want that stupid mechanic removed from the game - it is way OP and not canon like at all.
There are few games that allow a mechanic to almost constantly target everyone 360 degrees around you - with a hard hitting AoE attack - it's just so unbalanced - not just in STO but in the scope of MMO's.
It isn't simple and does take a bit of thinking on how to balance a build, positioning, timing, proper BOff rotations, months of grinding for gear.
You're not going to hit 30k or even 20k by just slapping FAW and DEM on a ship, and slapping the spacebar.
FAW is the most canon ability in the game. it's not only canon, it's Iconic star trek.
And many many veterans already know that FAW is already nerfed.
