Neutral Zone

lunasto

I have an idea. What if we where to have a thread in this section where we could ask the games Developers important questions or have a chance to get to know them better,while offering them a friendly opening for them to answer. There has been too many rage threads and never a neutral zone that could give a fair and safe point for both sides to talk to one another, so I will be asking the Moderators to watch this thread closely and not allow anything related to rage or mean spirited posts. I would like to hear more from our Devs and make this safe zone so they would feel more at ease to begin conversing with us again on a regular basis.

I have forgotten the thread of the list of things already finalized, like the Tier 5 Constitution class, so lets not corner them with questions we already know the answer too. I myself would like to see more of them on the forums, and remind everyone they are human beings too. We don't always have to agree. But we can still make more progress by how we approach someone.


I suppose I'll ask the first questions.

1> Will there ever be a trophy room in the D'kora class?

2> Do you guys ever have pizza day in the office?

3> Have you guys ever cheered on a sports team from the office?

4> Would you ever consider adding in a TV feature to the Foundry?
By this I mean, to allow the Foundry people to transform your ship, Captain and away team to become members of a Star Trek era show in order to have the player make an episode and allow us to play as those characters? What I had in mind is like what you guys did with the new feature episodes, where you changed our ship and we where able to play the new one before we won it from the mission. Or changed our Captain and crew into Klingons to sneak into their base to stop the Planet Killer. Imagine someone making an episode of Voyager, and you could get to play as Captain Janeway aboard the Voyager. With so many authors available, we could bring back our favorite series with new and growing episodes. Ask me more on this if it sounds like something you might consider.

5> What is would be your favorite way to eat ice cream and what flavor? I myself enjoy Coldstone strawberry between 2 cookies with some sprinkles.

Even if this thread fails, I had to at least try. All of this drama and hating has been giving me a headache! Not everything about the game is to my liking, but I'm not going to concern myself with things beyond my control. That's wasted time I could be having fun, and to be enjoying the things that are still available!

I think after I finish refining enough Dilithium to unlock the Kittian, I will be taking some time away from the game, so that I may return to it fresh and ready to level up this new toon. The refining cap is a bother, but It will take that many days to finish my Undine Reputation anyways.

I have a feeling they will not respond here. Most devs are quiet these days and there has been nothing but silence since the crafting disaster besides Taco's normal chatter, Crypticfrost and Bort helping with bugs, and the community managers posting their news.

I commend you for taking the initiative OP. Unfortunately, this will never happen. The second a dev would start to answer one question here along the lines you ask, 10 or more people would instantly start badgering them about stuff such as the crafting and doff UI, bugs and demanding they respond.

I've seen it happen. This is one of the reasons that we are in the current situation. I wish things were different. As for me, I hope I am very wrong though.

Lots of haters around and the insane amount of mindless QQ totally drowns out what little constructive criticism there is.

Regarding this topic, i don't think the devs need any kind of "save" thread to post. This is their companies forums, the whole thing is intended for that. If they can't post without getting swarmed by trolls and whiners, they'd get the mods to crack down a lot harder.

Other mmo's I play devs still post on the forums and interact with the playerbase despite the crapstorm they get from players. No disscussion is always bad and breeds more negative hostility towards them.

Op has interesting idea, but rules seems different on STO than other online games with interaction with players and developers. I am sure there must be policy in effect, otherwise I don't see why they don't pop-in and say hello to us all the players.

I play this game 99% daily and 1% I do other things in the real world..

One note I may say, I could post some suggestions but I really don't think it's my place to do so. I will comment if I feel there should be something that needs to be fixed.

Example: Found out that on the Risa LC-Ship the 3 main engines weren't showing the right colors in the output streaming. If I changed the impulse engine I was using the effect is corrected and issue is worked around but the problem is with the impulse engine that was used.

I am curious as to how, Star Fleet and the Klingons actually made it to the negotiating table and found peace? I think we have the same situation here, perhaps we could talk Leonard Nemoy into coming here and work his magic! hehe

The klingons had to loose their dlithium income before they would speak to or where willing to negotiate with any sort of reason! If you cut off an enemys supply lines, they cant attack you any further....thats when they are willing to come to the table and start to be reasonable. klingons arent known for giving ground, and will exploit their foes weaknesses, they are formidable warriors who often will always have the advantage...that was until their teeth where pulled.

Worf was even in one of the movies where the peace talks took place, he helped to stop an assassination attempt that would have stopped the peace talks! But he rarely gets credit for all hes done in his career...
