Can you please put back terradome in expansion?

Funnily enough I was thinking about this mission last night, I would love to see it back in the game. I was always fun to play and a true challenge.

sophus84at

you mean like something where the undine ground set actually made sense??? all for it

also mentioned in my post somewhere. i loved terradome it just needed to be fixed and not taken away

Sorry to say, but Infiltration was Cryptic's answer to a fixed Terradome.

I recall reading that Terradome would not return. Do a forum search and find out for yourself.

They stated that it will not return .

awww, I never got a chance to play the mission one last time before it was taken down. This is one bit of new I am sad and angry about (however old it is).
The thing that is worse is that they said they were removing to fix it, then they've gone back on there word.

Terradome was the last challenging piece of content in the game. With its removal, that pushes Armek up to the most challenging... which is pathetic, since he can be solo'd if you're good.

Back in may I posted a thread asking about terradome. Appatently geko said in a stoked radio podcast. That terradome is done and not coming back. Infiltration is a pseudo replacement

Why was it removed?

I really miss fake-Sulu. I still remember soloing him in the free Sovereign. Took like 20 minutes.

As to why it was removed, the ground portion had a few issues that could stall the mission. The coin flipping part in particular. It often took 20-30 minutes to find all the people flipping coins, which could make for some pretty boring and frustrating gameplay. There were some other issues too that I can't remember at the moment.

I never got try it as it was removed when I joined or at least by the time I was 50.
So yeah I'd like to see it back.

It stayed in the game for a long time if you could be bothered to travel to Gamma Orionis and manually create teams.

I was never able to finish it. We'd get to the faux DS9 part, where you have to spread out to protect the terminals or what not, and somebody would just get overwhelmed without fail.

If I put my tin foil hat on, I bet TerraDome won't come back because it's original creators are either no longer with the studio or have moved on to other projects.

Everytime staff gets shuffled, they want their own material and content, not to spend resources updated somebody elses old work.

It's also possible that they screwed up so much they can't fix it. Much like the 'City' and 'PowerPlant' Hards on Defera. They just have no clue, so they give up.

gurluas

It's possible, something similar is happening with trophies, but at least they're trying to figure it out.

I wish the staff members who left, left instructions on how things work.

kjwashington

I would like at least the space part to come back as an stf. Bring back fake-Sulu!

Yeah the problem I always had was when I'd run into Undine mobs on the first ground map that would respawn as fast as you killed them. They just wouldn't stay dead..... there was no way to protect the engineers since every enemy would respawn when killed.

I'll never understand Cryptic. They removed more good content and replaced it with tons of bad ones (like the new Undine queued events). So what if Terrordrome was bugged, not like it couldn't have been tweeked to the point it would've worked.

IMHO, they should've kept Terrordrome and brought back the original STFs as a type of classic MMO Dungeon crawl, where if you wanted a chance at the special goodies at the end, you would tolerate the 30 minute wait for the coin flipping and the 2 hours it took to complete the mission. It's these missions that make friendships, not these queued insta-gratificaiton events where at most you get is a GG at the end.

^^^ This .

In STO's "casual" play style, the social aspect has gone to the dogs.
