Everyone is overreacting leveling in DR is fine right now

With all the game is dying doom and gloom threads people might think STO is unplayable right now, but that is far from the truth, I am having no problems leveling.
I just leveled a character after this patch with no problems at all, I don't see a problem with the pace of leveling, it is ok now. I don't expect to max specialization today or in the next few days and neither should anyone else, it will take a week or more probably.
Yeah I didn't lose any xp or specialization with the nerf, but I didn't power grind to max everything immediately after DR launched either. Just casually leveled to 60 recently and the game is working fine for me. The new leveling pace is just fine, DR has a few other issues but nothing as major as what people make it seem to be, give it another try before giving up.

Rage about both sides of the issue if you can't make your mind about which side is better.
This levelling is a horror that is even worse than WOW. Its either sad or funny, or maybe both.
But yeah, go whiteknight to the extreme, the ques are still dead.
in wow i can level fasting by doing quest just got to know what ones to do and drop but if i want a long bring grind i can level through battlegrounds

My only problem is the so called advanced stf, its not advanced its more like elite and it needs fixing.

That's cool if you want to stay at 60...However, if you want to specialize you need to level up to about something comparable to level 120. DR stories won't cover that much unless Cryptic comes with a better way to balance out end game leveling. As of now will take you over a year to do so and perhaps even more if you are a casual player.
In the past you used to level up to 50 in about 2-3 weeks with no sweat and NO EXPLOITS.
The game is broken :eek:
I don't think the word "horror" is what you think it means.
No, I casually leveled to 55 before the patch and 55-60 after, it wasn't slow at all, I haven't done any specialization after 60 yet but I don't plan on having it maxed immediately, that will take a month or so at a casual pace I expect. Don't spend the whole day grinding, just spend an hour at the most. If you are playing longer use the rest of the time to do other stuff, doffing, STFs, Delta rep, farming dilithium, dailies, you get xp from all that stuff too and it doesn't feel like grinding because you do it for other rewards.
I really don't know what you are talking about.
I am 60. I am just playing. Not grinding.
And you don't need the specialization points.
Level 59 here with 5 story missions left in DR.
All my alts are 54 and 55 and have not started Delta yet
Getting to level 60 in less than 3 weeks - the horror - the horror.

Guess you probably don't know
Im at 60 too and NOT planning to NOT specialize like you do. To each it's own but why stay at 60 and not specialize its your choice. MOST players will specialize......and YES you need more XP to go up in the specialization tree...
Instead of replying to this forum and getting butt hurt...why dont you test it and PLAY the game...guess you DONT know what your talking about either
and pls STOP throlling
and to prove...please read something before replying to forums and stop acting like a KNOW IT ALL:
Captain Specializations
After reaching level 60, captains will continue to gain Captain Specialization Points.
Each time the bar is filled, 1 point will be earned.
Captains may earn up to 50 additional points in order to obtain all the available Captain Specialization abilities.
For more details please view the Captain Specializations blog post here: http://www.arcgames.com/en/games/star-trek-online/news/detail/7007273-captain-specializations
My primary toon I ran the gauntlet on Elite with little to no grinding involved with 1 ship (huge mistake and a missed opportunity on 3 ship masteries).
Oddly enough I have absolutely no desire to do the DR content again.
Every other toon I'm doing slowly, primarily to maximize the ship masteries. They haven't even started DR. Some likely will never do DR, focusing on doffing exclusively while i slowly finish R&D. Most are already 54+.
if he wasn't playing the game how did he get to 60?
yes the horror of them not putting out enough content to make every level the horror!!!! not everyone loves tedious repetitive grinds with little rewards
system Lord Baal is dead
I remember this I leveled 2 klingons (still they are my favourite characters) we had no content and no mobs we had 2 pvp q's (it was a bit repetitive but I levelled 2 up that way haha).
yes, heaven forbid players go and independently do other stuff not in the main story
how dare they no longer let us level up once per story mission
oh put in more content :P

I mean it actually takes....TIME!
Game broken, please fix /sarcasm

nah you got more of a reputation ingame and on these good forums than i ever will

I have a sandwich, so you can't be starving.
Well......why else would you play?
Besides, as has been pointed out elsewhere, we aren't even getting stronger anymore, just trying to get back to where we were two weeks ago (or at least close to it). If you play just one or two missions a night, maybe 4k xp per on average, thats what a hundred runs per alt? And you're going to be repeating how many missions to do so? Thats excessive and up there with the crafting grind.
Lets bring it back up to say a level per real mission or set of patrols (with a cooldown timer), about a level where a casual does a say 3 levels per evening (or one level for each of the three free toons) and a grinder running a 10-hour marathon can go from 50 to 60 in a day. As-is right now though, its just so slow and so repetitive as to be not worth bothering.
And just wait till the next set of Specializations come out and we're expected to do so all over again.
