Thursday, eh? Guess that means I won't be able to play from home for the next month, just like every 'update' since LoR. Oh well, at least they've always gotten around to fixing it eventually...

No idea if my post got deleted or if i am overlooking it
Will kit Vendors start selling very rare Mk XI and XII Kit modules? The prices on the Exchange are exploding (4 Mil for a quantum mortar) and with the Assiilated Mission you need a lot of luck to get a useful reward.

this is old news anyways from other threads which im assuming a lot of people have already seen, i havent because i wont touch twitter, not for any reason.
T6 Miranda Hero Ship FTW. Been around since Dec 2010 on STO and bought LTS in Apr 2013 for STO.
Well, I guess the "WIP" Doff UI that they claimed was in an 'Alpha state' is pretty much going in as is (Oh, that's right they changed the names on a couple of the UI buttons; but IGNORED 99% of the rest of the feedback given) -- I honestly thought this would be the case as it's the way Cryptic has patched and updated STO since 2009 closed beta.
So, remember you new folks - 'Alpha' = 'Eventually Live with cosmetic changes' at best. Captain Gekko strikes again.
Yeah, so much for "testing", right? Just throw out what you got and let the players test it for you.
All I will say is that UI is the worst thing I seen in years. It's absolutely terrible. Why they had to go messing around with something that wasn't broke! Nobody was complaining about the DOFF UI!
Them sharing info via their private Tweeter, Facebook or whatever accounts is not the problem here. Not sharing that same info via the game's official venues for information, however, is a big problem.
I don't reember any MMO I've ever played to release a season without announcing it via the official venues. Frankly, this is beyond dumb.
shpoks, you're tempting me to undelete/repost my rant from last night on this very topic. Very agreed, although I still think personal posts shouldn't have been made.

The blog part is new and people were wondering why they aren't out today.
I'm not really caring about what's in 9.5, that's not why I want the blogs. I want to know about what is in the new lock box and the states of the ships.

It's regrettable in the extreme that no announcements have been made on these fora to confirm or expand on the CMs recent tweets.
Really? Unless I am mistaken, we know only four things;
1) Crafting Revamp
2) Star Cluster Revamp
3) New Standard Uniforms
4) Xindi Lock Box
Surely there is more to 9.5 than just this?
Um Number 2 should read:
2) Star Cluster Removal

They haven't even officially announced the new lockbox in a blog like they usually do. When the Undine box came out there were a couple blogs, one saying what was in the box and another saying what the stats for the ships were.

No, its simply "a sign of the times." A games "official venue" may mean a lot to you but only in so far as it represents an idea, the "central spot" around which all information must gather. That's not a requirement, hell I've seen a lot of things over the years have their first official announcemtn over some bit of social media. That doesn't often include games, since those do generally maintain in-house community websites, but none the less a developer doesn't have to use it if they don't want to. Its just a convention and as with any other arbitrary social compromise they can break it if they so wish.

They can post all they want to their private twatter and mybook and facespace and all that stuff. I'm not against that, but they should not be the only means of communicating important game information.

I would imagine so too, but we are making the assumption that season 9.5 is coming in a single update. We could be getting 1-4 tomorrow with a surprise 5 hitting at some point before the start of season 10.

No new blog, no official announcement that 9.5 is coming tomorrow and we still have farting around on Twitter.
Winter Event is surely going to be like it's always been, the last few weeks of November.
Season 10, who knows. Maybe February or March. Expansion 2 is next and that's somewhere between September and November.

Extremely unprofessional, in my view.

Nope... that's it...
Also, technically (at least to my knowlege) they havn't announced a Xindi lockbox?
Well there is that [REDACTED] that's rumored to be out in August. I guess that might account being part of 9.5.
But overall 9.5 is not ready and them forcing a system that nobody likes, pure genius Cryptic.

By definition, it's really just a part of Season 9...
X.5 seasons is just the "We wanted this to be in from the beginning, but didn have time for it".
Nope, that is about it.
At least nothing else is on Tribble and there is no new FE, apparently.
I might want to avoid the forums until Monday.

You should probably get used to the thought that there won't be any real content (or at least extremely small amounts) for quite some time.
Technically they haven't announced 9.5 either.
O'Rly?
