As of 8/21/14, the Tribble test server can only be accessed by Gold account members. More information about this will be available later.
All accounts are able to access our other test server, Redshirt, at this time.

Oh well, c'est la vie.
So you ditch F2P Testing help again...

Well, here we go again, just like LoR.
Throwing my hat in in case you pick some of the rest of the player base for some extra test access.
Its Just sad when you don't need testing its like come test. When testing is needed it changes to sorry but the Gold/Life lookie loos first. The invitations Based on interest Like the ones given during LOR closed may have been a better way of handling this Give Gold the code Fist and see how many use it then invite F2p based on intrest
Yep, that thread should have been updated with the info...folks are still asking in that thread about it.
Manners are not your strong suite, eh? You could use some.
I'm not really annoyed at the gold access only thing, whatever they have out is just too unfinished for any real testing of worth.
Still, no need to be rude about it.
No harm in trying.
Will this be another temporary change that will be reverted once X2 goes live?

Exactly.
For once I thought they'd actually consider players who dedicate their time to the game rather than people who pay them $15/mo or $200.
I thought wrong.
I don't think you get it. When they released LoR, it was the same thing. We spent some weeks after the release littered with server stability updates and a LOT of bugs.
I think you're missing the point, I was apart of the closed beta for LoR yet I'm not apart of the closed beta for this.
That and the fact that the X2 launch is going to be horrible because Cryptic doesn't learn from their mistakes and it's going to be a total lag fest. Every new Season/Expansion and they refuse to fix the continued problems with this game when the solution is really simple.
I'm pretty sure I can get onto tribble but I'm still getting the same error message...anyone else?
Wow that sucks man, I hope cryptic get their TRIBBLE together and allow you in.
Yes you were wrong... A person who is dedicated and plays for free is not the same as those who are dedicated and pay for additional access. :eek:
To be honest, even as an LTS, I probably won't touch Tribble until they open it up to everyone... Only then will the major bugs be worked out and the more player the better for testing... Maybe even another Tribble reward.. Delta Quadrant Tribble.
I think the biggest problem with Legacy's launch was just how bloody hard it was to get on in the first place. They were completely overwhelmed and they had taken precautions.
That is true. If I understand what they said this was just to make sure that the D Rising code doesn't break the damn game, which is a wise precaution.
In fact no, it was better to separate the "why I cannot access Tribble server, it's not fair" wave or 'protest' (to say it nicely) with discussions about actual patch features and testing...
Er...only it didn't separate them...so it wasn't better. :rolleyes:
Better would have been posting this thread first, with a link in the notes thread linking to this thread.
I got something waaaaaay different in my head when I read "...gold member update..."
Would you like a shmoke and a pancake?

Been around since Dec 2010 on STO and bought LTS in Apr 2013 for STO.
They post the additions to Tribble every time They add something...
It's not very likely that somebody would even have to worry about that.
They already said They aren't going to let us play the new story missions till they hit the Holodeck.
:cool:

they'd have to either punish the entire gold/lts population, risking heavy money losses in the future, or just ignore it since it's not like letting free players know what's in and what state is it in now will hurt them in any way.
hell, it might actually generate more hype and interest that way, and even sell some extra gold access accounts for those who heard enough and want in to the point they'll buy gold sub, even if for only 1/2 months.
We fight them too. Entire armies spilling out of Volkswagens.
We do our best to fight them off, but they keep sending them in.
Personally, I don't think this is fair. In my opinion, this should have been announced before people got hyped and excited to test the DR content on Tribble.
Anyone else think this?
Reduce the number of people available to give feedback.
Genius :rolleyes: :mad:
Why not have more people available to catch the bugs early rather than a few days before the release eh?
Norway and Yeager dammit... I still want my Typhoon and Jupiter though.
JJ Trek The Kelvin Timeline is just Trek and it's fully canon... get over it. But I still prefer TAR.

I just wish Cryptic would say why they do something instead of just being rude to the rest of the player base, because testing should be done by people who have a genuine interest in fixing the game, and gold status doesn't mean anything in that regard (hell, gold doesn't make you pro at the game, seen that proved over and over again...).
Testing should be done by people who are very good at the game with a good understanding on how to test properly and can also keep the balance issues in mind so it is relevant for the majority of players so it isn't released broken like most of Cryptics badly tested additions.
Again, would be nice to have a reason for a change.
