Hailing all Captains, Warriors and Commanders,

It is time for a new STO Player Poll! Please note this Poll will close on Monday, February 16th, 2015 at approx 10AM PDT (what time is this for you?)

Vote here for your top choice listed above, to let us know which of these options you would most like to see developed further in STO.

Feel free to reply to this thread to discuss the options, and why you would like your top choice to win! Who knows, maybe your impassioned reasoning will sway other players who might be on the fence. :)

Please remember that this is a poll to help communicate players wants and desires for new content, to our Development team, and we want to hear from each and every one of you! Make sure to share this poll with your friends and fleetmates, and pass this to other players to participate so we can cover as wide a base of players as possible!

We value your feedback and discussion on these topics, so let's keep this constructive, and focus on future possibilities!

Thanks everyone!

    It would be nice if we could rank those choices instead of making a single firm choice... In that light, I would rank them:

    #1 Exploration (the core of Trek)
    #2 Fleet activities (making them more relevant & involved)
    #3 Foundry (players have good ideas, too)
    #4 Episodes (decades' worth of lore to mine)
    #5 PvP (sorry guys, I've not done this yet)
    Expendables Fleet: Andrew - Bajoran Fed Engineer Ken'taura - Rom/Fed Scientist Gwyllim - Human Fed Delta Tac
    Savik - Vulcan Fed Temporal Sci
    Dahar Masters Fleet: Alphal'Fa - Alien KDF Engineer Qun'pau - Rom/KDF Engineer D'nesh - Orion KDF Scientist Ghen'khan - Liberated KDF Tac

    Agreed. I would want PVP balancing before more Queues first anyway.

    I'm torn between Exploration (Which would give us more options for leveling besides patrols) and Episodes because of the quality we've been seeing since at least the 2800 Feature Series.

    But either I'm looking in the wrong place to vote or I'm totally locked out of being ABLE to vote for some reason...

    More or new PvP Queues are pointless atm since PvP is totaly broken and unbalanced. Give us balance and bug fixes first, then go for more queues. Also, don't forget about leaderboards and matchmaking ;)


    More PvP Queues - pointless atm

    More Episodes - hell no, pls not more "one time" content

    Exploration Missions - don't care

    More Fleet Functionality - nope, ty

    More Foundry Functionality - don't care aswell

    I'm voting for PvP, but more PvP Queues is not exactly what we need. We need a balance pass in PvP. The game has great potential there, and quite a few still seem interested, but the current state of the game where anyone can be killed in seconds or locked out of doing anything for 10+ seconds scares many away.

    But you got placed at the top of the candidate list. That will have to garner some votes - well if there are any votes.

    well since it says I cant vote I dont know.
    if I have to choose an order of importance, its:

    More Foundry Functionality
    Exploration Missions
    More Episodes
    More Fleet Functionality
    More PvP Queues

    if i have to choose only 1, then I would actually choose exploration missions as my primary

    We dont want new content, cuz everything you release breaks everything, how about you fix the current game before you break it even more.

    :eek::eek::eek: Holy new Executive Producer, Batman!!

    Anyway, may choice is

    1 - Exploration

    With exploration I mean real regular NON-combat missions.

    I am not the "fly there - scan this - shoot 3 enemy ships - scan again - fly to the next stop - scan - shoot - scan - fly..." type of guy.

    Personally, I would love to have mission where I need to fly to a nebula, scan it and take samples, fly to a science outpost, help with the research, etc.



    I made a post some time ago, where I said that I would love to do all those mini Doff-Missions by my own. Bring support troops to a planet, help evacuate a colony, fly cargo to an outpost,..

    1 exploration. By this I mean "missions that ARE story driven AREN'T about combat and don't have bosses". Mine trap is a good example, it is my favorite content in the game. The mission to help the romulans colony with the genetically engineered reman plague, another good one. Saturdays child, which you removed, another excellent one (has a boss but he's wimpy and flees).

    2 foundry

    3 story missions

    The others, meh. Don't care if they get fixed or not, would prefer PvP was just removed from this game and given its own spin off game where it can get the attention it deserves and needs. It is clear it won't get that here and it is just becoming an increasingly sore source of friction and hostility.

    Also, please thank salami for the new poll. I just heard it in the podcast and am glad to see he acted on it so fast. He is off to a good start bridging the gap between community and devs that grew the past two years between this and his fast first post, etc. Hope this keeps up!

    Open up the gamma quadrant.
    Allow use of new found borg apertures.
    Put those command ships back on the drawing board.
    Cardassian and dominion playable factions.
    Bigger better more valueable rewards.
    Do something about the dead queues.
    Story content from startrek new worlds.

    Yeah, they know PvP is broken so they ask if they should do some new queues cuz everyone will say NO TY!

    Afterwards cryptic can state that they offered new PvP content but it wasn't wanted...


    Cryptic, you know exactly what PvP needs!!! Don't make up silly polls like this pls

    Is there anyway to have fixes to the DR expansion added in there? If so, I am sure it will be the highest voted on.

    Wouldn't it be better for you to send out an email questionaire rather than rely on what has been called the "minority" of players to decide the fate of the game?

    If you want player's opinions that would be the best way to do it.

    As a former PVP enthusiast I gotta say I do not want to see new queues. They are simply (not yet) needed. I think it would be much more important to balance the stuff we have.

    Most importantly:

    Intel abilities (surgical strikes for example, 100k raw damage crits from DHC's speaks volumes)
    Traits (whether for ships or character specific ones. There is just too much and they are doing too much)
    Systems: There need to be hard caps or something like that on certain things. Stacking Partigens to unholy numbers is one of the many problems.

    Basically... much would have to change. PVP in it's current state isn't playable anymore. It's either vape or be vaped.
    So new queues wouldn't change anything. To fix that mess you guys would have to dedicate at least 6 months of development entirely for balance passes. I'm aware that this isn't feasible... so please... no... just remove this poll option of "PVP queues". It's not what this game needs. It's not even what most PVPers would want.
    I mean it should be a clear sign to you, that the latest attempt to create a PVP Tournament failed, because there is just not enough people left willing to play.

    So much for that... signing off...

    The constructive feedback really works well...


    This is the first time since years that we can influence in some kind the next happenings in the game, and our usual conspiracy-doom-everything is bad guys are ranting around.

    Exploration.

    BUT...since it's not on the list, optional Open PvP.

    Oh and, more NPC attacks on bases. Whenever devs trigger those, it's a blast.

    True, they needed a LOT of work. But at least we had them... and Star Trek is all about exploration.

    But a lot of work is needed for PvP. And we have no clue what a revamp/reworking of PvP would be.

    With that said, while I dearly wish Exploration would get Dev focus, my vote goes to:

    PvP

    The PvP community has waited far too long to get proper attention. Make it so, Cryptic!

    On a final note, I REALLY hope Cryptic is willing to solicit the STO community on the official forums about WHAT the winning item should be. For example: If it's Foundry, I think community members want some input, etc.

    Yes, like I said, they are smart. From one side they insult the PVP community (Geko and Borticus), they destroy the PVP gameplay and most of the PVP players leave.

    But from the other side, this make this poll and put the broken and forgoten PVP side by side with PVE mission and exploration.. well play cryptic, really smart but a bit obvious.

    I would like Episodes where you don't have to grind unnecessarily to get to the next part of the story. Exploration would be great and to include some story with it.
  • miriclemaxmiriclemax Member Posts: 0 Arc User

    Well my vote is;

    #1 More Exploration
    #2 More Episodes
    #3 More Fleet Functionality
    #4 More PvP Ques
    #5 More Foundry Funtionality

    Sorry the first three seem more important to overall game play. PvP I view as being more worthwhile than the foundry so the foundry is dead last IMHO.

    *Define "Fleet functionality."

    More options for lower tiered fleets? More tiers added? Increased fleet gear? I assume Additional t5+ stuff, so, no.

    *Foundry Functionality- This wouldn't affect me, so, no.

    *Exploration missions- Maybe. MAYBE. If done well. Nothing like the grindtastic patrol nonsense. Also- how would that make sense for non-Feds?

    *Episodes- the safe choice. Usually done well. Probably my vote.

    *PvP- broken beyond consideration. No, thank you.

    Where's is the option for:

    Less spewing out of (broken, more of them same regurgitated) content and more dedicated bug squashing.
    SCM - Infected(S) - DMG Out: 11,776,567 DPS: 114,224.70 (28.7% of Team) - Pinky@ukcaptain420
    I reserve the right to have a completely different standpoint depending on my mood.
