Edit: After posting this, I found this Another thread asking if you would recommend to a friend.
So I'm curious about the general feelings about Star Trek Online. So I thought I'd ask 2 questions that might be able to supply quantifiable information to cryptic.
Now seeing as we can't make polls, we'll have to be a little inventive, so to reply, quote this thread and amend it, adding a comment after the quote to keep the post over 10 characters.
A) Given your experience with Star Trek Online since delta rising, please provide a rating between 1 to 10, 10 being good, 1 being bad.
Answer
Since release of delta rising, would you recommend Star Trek Online to a friend?

It is a peculiar phenomenon that we can imagine events that defy the laws of the universe.

i have all logs saved of these so if you would like to view them send me a pm and it can be arranged
Since Delta rising I have, lost captain specialization points(44 on 1 toon, 46 on the another), lost respec tokens(x2 on 1 toon), been charged twice for my subscription(1 month only) and there have been constant crashes.
I honestly felt at first that delta rising was a good addition to the game, but the recurring changes, bugs and lack of response to player queries suggests a level of incompetence I have not encountered from this 'company' before.
At first I enjoyed the increased difficulty with the advanced queues, but once I got my gear to Mk XIV, these became less of a challenge, and without giving the majority population a chance to upgrade to that level, the difficulty has been reduced, without offering an alternative in the form of the elite queues.

a. n/a - dunno yet.
b. no.
Been around since Dec 2010 on STO and bought LTS in Apr 2013 for STO.
During the Japori/Beta Thoridar runs, I was having a great time. Since then I'm at a loss with what to do as there's no reward for the time. Oddly enough the balance of those Japori/Beta runs was great for a bit of lower level farming for a bit of EC and some low chance for and R&D token.
Now it's just nothing. 3-4 runs of a Patrol gets about the same as one before, even at level 50.
As for the DR content, the Story is pretty good when there isn't the grind wall. With the grind wall it's boring as hell as you loose track of the content.
Would I recommend it? Not a chance.
"You don't have to do something again and again and again repetitive that doesn't have much challange, that's just a general good gameplay thing."
Good thread!
Hope a DEV analyzes and registers (I know its christmas soon).
Looking for a fun PvE fleet? Join us at Omega Combat Division today.
My thoughts exactly.
EDIT: My 1st post here... I didn't actually have big of a reason to read the forums before DR but recently I started visiting to see other people's reactions to all the latest changes.
The story lines are actually wel thought of and I do like the DR story. The grind is beyond anything I have seen in any game. And patrols... forced patrols? Yes, the add some bits of story, but not enough to justify forcing them.
No, I will not recommend this game. No, I will no longer invest in the game.

+ Increased difficulty. I like actually having to try.
+ Battle of Korfez.
+ Bug Hunt.
+ Borg Disconnected
+ Upgrading equipment. Yeah I gave it a "+", because it's far cheaper and easier than it would be buying new Mk XIV equipment. As for "epic" quality, it's not something I'm interested in trying to get, so I feel no issue in not having it.
+ Fixed ship-type ship traits, which give the classes a little added bonus and reason for existing.
+/- Transferable ship traits, captain specializations, Intel powers, 2min cooldown on console powers. All of these are great for PvE, but terrible for PvP.
- Death of PvP, atleast for me.
- Lack of story content when compared to LOR. And, I'm sad to say, a feeling of a lack of polish.
- Patrol missions as story content.
- Not being able to trade Intel Boffs between players, preventing you from training them in some career specific abilities (such as emergency power to weapons 3, when you're a tactical captain).
- Making me basically drop all but one of my toons. No way I'm going to bother grinding the rest.
If they didn't have ANY other MMO to play and were a space opera fan then yes. However I would not recommend it as being "Star Trek", just a space based MMO.
If Star Citizen was out I'd probably recommend that instead.

No (from Maybe)
but to make each mission harded only give enemy ships more HP is not a good way
before the patch elite was to easy but now i think advanced is to difficult right now when not all have Mk 14 Gear and are not all at 60

Yes under the condition that they want this kind of game to play. Otherwise, not going to try to convince someone who's only interested in the Star Trek aspect to come to the game.
A - 4/10
B - No
The story of the episodes was well done but not enough of them. That is the only positive comment I can think about the expansion. To me this is not the best release but one of the worst. I think its time to look at 'command fitness' of the senior devs and wonder if they should be relieved from command....
1. Went from 8 to 2 after the XP nerf and having all of my spec points taken away.
2. Went from maybe, to absolutely not.
Totally agree, my thoughts exactly as well.

Honestly, I'm glad to find someone who is still enjoying the game, just make sure you don't level to 60 or you won't be able to get into ker'rat anymore.

I'm pleased to hear that, but how much dil has that cost you?
I'm breaking the bank here and I've only upgraded a small handful of items, mostly to 13 and only a couple to 14.
Am I doing it wrong?

Yes but after most of the bugs are fixed.
As a player that has been around since the beta, personally, I did like the story in DR but the amount that you have to grind is close to unbearable especially when cryptic "fixes" one of the ways to do it.

So many things wrong with it that are just not being addressed because they want to focus on useless garbage. The PvE fiasco. The lazy patrol missions as episodes. I've only rated it as high as a 4 because the actual story eps I've done I've thoroughly enjoyed. Not enough Doctor, though. ;p
Absolutely not. The only reason I'm still playing is because my husband enjoys the game and I can't stop hoping for improvement. PWE/Cryptic has shown an appalling willingness to punish their player base for their own mistakes, on top of their already woefully bad customer service and lack of game support.
If I recommended this game to my friends, and they had gone through all of this rubbish, I'd be shot.
No worry about that if you are below 60 any more
"You don't have to do something again and again and again repetitive that doesn't have much challange, that's just a general good gameplay thing."
b) Probably yes
I enjoy the game a lot, but having been unable to log in since DR went live (game played and ran fine, before hand), I can honestly on give a 1 out of 10.
I have still as of this date, had no response from CS on the issue, so coupled with forum threads, left me feeling very sour indeed.
I've gone back to playing EVE, hopefully my and many like myselfs issues are fixed and we can resume playing a game that has vastly changed in 2 weeks, from the one we previously enjoyed.
A)5/10 (and that's just because I love Star Trek) if it was not Star Trek it would have been a 2
Recommend it? Only to a Star Trek fan any casual or "hardcore" gamer I would not drag in to this bug filled grind fest.
they need to fix their product before they want to sell it. Making money is a must for a company but selling something that's broken does not bode well for the future. A good amount of people in the fleet i'm in has either stopped playing or is playing way less than normal.. for numbers:
Fleet was 1 year ago 490 registered accounts. since than we have been kicking players who did not come online for 3 months or more we are down to a 150 now. so out of 3 players 2 quit within 3 months of playing that should say enough I'd say.
A) 7
After DR
A) 2
Difficulty increased too much. Even on normal with a Tier 6 ship with all Ultra Rare Mk 14 equipment time to kill enemy, let say Deferi patrol, more than doubled, god only knows how long it would take with normal equipment. :mad:
Dilithium cost to upgrade items way too much, only able to do for main toon. Getting hold of Very Rare crafting material now basically z-store only. Drop rate before DR very very low, now unable to play STF's. :mad:
Most of new content just basic patrol missions.
New Nightmare Elite STF's just pandering to STO podcast hosts, many no longer play the game. End game content now only available to super powerful elite players, either through money or top end fleet and a group of elite friends. :mad:
Question A was lucky to get 2, only because the reputation maps are VA(50), since I'm now FA(60), the maps play the same as before DR. Haven't even bothered to played all the new content, total lack of interest now, my other 23 toons will level using the doff system, not wasting time grinding through a space map which could take 45 minutes to complete.
Perhaps Delta Rising should have been called A Step Too Far.
