Tell me if you are still playing this game or have given it up to tell your friends it is a pretty sucky game at the moment.

We come in peace, SHOOT TO KILL!
ok awesome 1 peeps how many more? oh as for " NOT being competitive" i hear ya buddy ... i hear ya ;-)
I heard there were a lot of changes over the years and decided to scope it out about the middle of last year ('14) at the end of the Romulan whatnot. If that counts me as "new" then I'll take it. As far as dps go, I have no clue what my numbers are. And frankly I don't give a ____ if they are TRIBBLE elite numbers or not. I point my ship at stuff, defeat the baddies, complete the episode/mission, and collect my little award for doing so. My ships and toons are running around in 99% purple MK 12. Not exactly competition gear, and again --I don't care. Stuff dies, episodes play out. I'm having fun. Heh, and I'm using the T6 Dauntless that everyone seems to hate. (which cost me no cash at all, since I used the dil exchange to get the zen)
Not exactly. The DPS race might help with Omega Rep, but the other reps aren't gated behind STFs. Counter Command can be done with the Undine Battlezone, Dyson can be done with the Voth Battlezone, Romulan can do a Tau Dewa run, Nukara can do... Nukara, and Delta... Bug Hunt or get lucky with the zone missions on Kobali Prime.
I was "free to play" until this year then upgraded to subscription membership. Yes, after Delta Rising. I'm very happy with the game, although there is always room for improvement. I have no interest in PvP, but am delighted to see new content and story being added to the game.
At the risk of being branded a "fanboy" or such, in my opinion the worst part of the STO experience is the constant complaining and "entitlement culture" that seems to infest the forums, and the lack of moderation in the in-game chat, where racism and religious intolerance are frequently encountered.
Why oh why does the Kobali Zone not reward Ancient Power Cells.
As it is, it's a place you have no reason to go whatsoever. You get Delta marks with Argala runs, too.
I was going to leave this game but last week I found new fun in fleet managing. Since our old fleet leader left.
However, getitng bored with the repitition. Just waiting for Firefly Online to launch....
Better question would be who has been playing BEFORE 2014
Of course most of the NEWBIES would be including in your request since Cryptic is betting BIG on newbies NOT on older players and of course whales.
I enjoyed the game much more prior to the release of Delta Rising, but I still play the game. However, I play at my own pace and I don't necessarily chase after DPS.
Agreed.
Toi'Va, Ti'vath, Toivia, Ty'Vris, Tia Vex, Toi'Virth: Add Tier 6 KDF Carrier and Raider.
Tae'Va, T'Vaya, To'Var, Tevra, T'Vira, To'Vrak: Give us Asylums for Romulans.
Don't make ARC mandatory! Keep it optional only!
Then, all of a sudden, all the reputation, fleet, purple, and some expensive lockbox gear on the exchange along with tier 5 ships became what they are now. People now think it's ok to get mad at you for not flying a pure DPS ship-only, in the way that maximizes DPS only, and for reaching and exceeding 10k dps on ISA.
How dare I not upgrade my weapons, and while at it, all my gear, on all 6 characters, for all types of ships! "Don't play your alts" say self-entitled puggers. It's pay large sums, play into the RNG, or get out noob.
I'm definitely not short on grinding, trying to learn from others, research, and grinding all day every day in the most efficient ways possible, so there's no faulting that. But even that's got its limits, and this isn't the only MMORPG around.
It's been fun, a good distraction, thanks for the great memories... maybe there'll be more bug fixes, balanced gameplay, more non-grind content, more for our Roms and KDFs, or just more extreme power gaps with a vast gray area in-between the two peaks. It seems so far the direction is in catering to those who pay large sums of cash, or those who are ok doing nothing but grinding for...I don't know what for, PVE is a good challenge with yesterday's gear as long as you've got a good team to work with.
Sounds about right.
Joined in Feb 2012 after seeing an article about the launch of the Enterprise F, plus the perks of seeing a F2P Star Trek game when I was unemployed at the time. Geared up 14 different characters, and even my farming alts were well-enough equipped to handle the old version of NWS. But after DR (and even S9 really), I want the old STO back. Hell roll it all back to S5 for all I care, but I refuse to use lobi/lockbox power creep, I refuse to grind traits or specializations, I refuse to grind out thousands of crafting kits to upgrade 14 characters, and I refuse to join in the DPS chase. It just isn't the same game it once was.
I was one of the peeps who gave it six months on launch, boy was I wrong!
And I am glad about that.
Granted from the stuff that changed and saw happen. I have not been discouraged in order to play. Many hates the new Delta and changes. So far I have loved them.
In all most games has their good and bad points. I see more good than bad, so I keep playing.
