Is this real? Our complaints were heard? What kind of nightmare inception am I in?
I ask nothing but that you remember me.

    It used to be 45 seconds. I was okay with 45.

    never, because it was never at 0 to begin with; there was always a 45 second cooldown timer on posting to prevent rapid spam posting
    Like special weapons from other Star Trek games? Wondering if they can be replicated in STO even a little bit? Check this out: https://forum.arcgames.com/startrekonline/discussion/1262277/a-mostly-comprehensive-guide-to-star-trek-videogame-special-weapons-and-their-sto-equivalents

    A normie goes "Oh, what's this?"
    An otaku goes "UwU, what's this?"
    A furry goes "OwO, what's this?"
    A werewolf goes "Awoo, what's this?"

    If it's 120, that's decent. And funny...also right in line with what I suggested (60-120).

    Well that is much more sensible and apropriate. I'm glad that the community's complaints were heard and acted upon, 2 mins. is ok - with 5 I found myslef often waiting to reply to someone in a different thread.

    I can live with 120 seconds over that 300-second restriction. It's a good compromise. Would be better at 60, but I'll take what we can get at the moment.

    This isn't some great concession from PWE for our sakes, guys.

    1. Forums explode

    2. 300 second Timer implemented

    3. Devs backtrack like crazy, probably due to stronger than expected resistance to DR/STFs/specialization points, etc.

    4. Forums are, for the most part, appeased.

    5. 300 second timer relaxed

    If people were still mad, there would still be a 300-second timer on the forums. This change had little to do with your complaints and more to do with the general tenor of the forums.

    I find your logic... quite refreshing. ��

    This is a welcome update. Hopefully we'll be down to 45 or 60 shortly.

    2 minutes. That is almost as big as the change to 5 minutes.

    It's a mind trip. It means nothing big...just enough to keep you loyal and spending money on the game.
    My Old Blog about things that could and should have been added when I wrote it. Not sure what I want to do with it now. I'll just keep it available now that most of it is outdated.

    Plan is to implement X.
    X will be raged about.
    Devise Y which is worse than X.
    Implement Y.
    Y is massively raged about.
    Implement X.
    People thank you.

    Yup. Common business and political negotiation tactic.

    300 seconds =/= 45 seconds.
    120 seconds =/= 45 seconds.

    Third time's the charm, Cryptic? Hint: Subtract 75 seconds from your previous attempt.
