only reason i login in honestly is to refine dil and then log off after checking R&D stuff which im on my last school to get to 15. other than that if there's no events going on to get something worth while i don't even play this game anymore, reason? well pve ques are dead and even if you do get into one its over in less than a minute because it fails and bug hunt elite and CCE advanced is so boring now its not even funny. also not to mention how cryptic did us wrong when people like me has ships full of fleet gear also fleet ships and still have to pay more dil to upgrade it? no thanks .another thing im disgusted about? well i work to get plesh brek and new carrier on two toons and got the carrier on both toons but later found out that the plesh is bugged and you cant get it for the 40 marks on other toons and i sent numerous tickets in about it and only response i got from those is were working on it, yea ok. BUT i have to admit i recently got the kobali samsar cruiser and really enjoy flying it but i mean comon CCE advanced is getting old how am i suppose to upgrade my ship if i cant even get the stuff to make the tech upgrades because i don't have billions of EC to drop on materials idk take it how you will but this is how i feel as a veteran and you know what i might be f2p but i can guarantee i work 5 times harder to get what i want then someone that just gives in and pays real out of pocket money.

tell me how you guys feel :cool:

    Nostalgia? The memory of when I used to log in, play and actually enjoy myself...

    I haven't really enjoyed anything since before New Romulus though...I pretend, go through the motions, but The Powers That Be killed the heart of this game a long time ago.

    When I get down on STO, I go play war thunder or swtor (just patched it today, after more then a year long absence, took a long time lol).
    I find if I overdo any game it start feeling like the magic is gone.

    I'm still having fun.

    Story episodes. Crafting. Getting new ships and/or trying new loadouts for ships. Leveling up alts.

    I haven't even tried the foundry yet, or optimized a build to do advanced / elite queues.

    I was away for a couple of years and have only been back for 6 months, so I'm not jaded and bored like the rest of you yet.

    Once I reach the point where I've done all I want to and it stops being fun, I'll go away for awhile.

    If I'm down to just farming, it's not worth my time to play. I'd rather pay $10 when I eventually come back than farm 165,000 dil if I'm not having fun.

    I actually enjoy playing and I have someone in real life I play with all the time and it's worth playing with them alone. There are still things I'm looking forward too as well like in season 10 when the sector walls will be removed.

    a.. wait...

    That's actually a good question.

    Being one of my fleet's leaders (443 members), friends I met in ages of PvPing, "Star Trek" component, stuff like that.

    Though I'm sure that if it wasn't for the "Star Trek" thing, I'd have quitted probably.

    At the moment, there's nothing driving anyone to login cause we can't. :P

    Seriously, they need to get their **** sorted out. The servers have gone from bad to worse lately, the game is jumpy, there's rubberbanding that crops up more than it should, in addition to disconnects. I'd truly like to know what it is when they claim they're running server maintenance, cause they obviously aren't.

    Still like building ships, like a Star Trek Lego set. Oddly though I don't actually like flying them (especially with how one-dimensional and egotistical the meta has gotten), just building.

    Because it is Star Trek themed, need I say any more?

    While I will never put another penny into STO, nor any other game associated with Cryptic or PWE, I will suck what ever enjoyment I can until the lights are turned off...

    Star Trek. Otherwise this game is terrible. lol

    I gave up trying to keep up with the game's constant power creep a couple of years ago, and I've been mostly inactive for those last two years, but the Star Trek theme will undoubtedly keep me coming back until the game dies.

    It's Trek, my buds play here, I've got OCD. I have a bit more fun when I'm not baited with a timegated grind, and oddly, it even works as a single-player game when I just want immersion. :cool:

    I doff, and wait to see if the game becomes fun like it was before DR or just dies.

    What brought me here in the first place? Space combat with my fav Trek ships. Hopefully, I'll get to do that again someday.

    im starting to question this more and more . i hang with my fleetmates , but even then i can just hang out in the VOIP and not login at all . to me the dynamic of the game is so changed , that unless you have certain setups its pointless to play the game . there is no diversity left in the game no real strategy to playing the endgame its all Pew PEW . no debuff ,no hold aggro , like alot of other MMOS , in STO they just add hp and damage to make it harder they have the means , they have done it for certain events to change the dynamic of how and what is needed to complete content. there is lets make it pretty attitude rather than functional . out of all the things they brought with DR the only things that i think is a improvement is the Boff skill system . the spec system seems incomplete to me . and doesnt mesh with the skill point system well in my book.
    the single player component of the game is fun on its own level for that will keep me coming back .but im considering other options

    Like others I pretty much log in to chat with friends who still play. I log in when there's new story mission content too; but I've cut back on the 'hamster grind wheel' big time. I pretty much play one main character; and have abandoned 2 other Fed alts; 2 KDF alts, and a Rom (Fed Aligned) alt.

    The focus on monetization over any real new 'fun gameplay' mechanics has just really dampened my desire to spend much time in STO. If the online friends I still have in game stop playing, I'm done.

    It's sad because I have liked a lot of the recent story content and VO - but there's TOO LITTLE of that being done atm and TOO MUCH "Here's something to repeat again and again and again and again..." ad nauseum.

    Yes, I get the latter is easier for the Devs, but I think sometimes they forget that if the game stops being enjoyable for players, said players will more on, and the game will sunset.

    I look at your complaints and laugh. You want to see a game which gives people little to no reason to login, look at Champions Online.

    STO players are spoiled lol.

    I log in each day knowing hopefully that the devs will make an episode where you can switch body's with say Captain Shon or Commander Jorok.

    That would be a good episode cause you could get a chance to fly the Enterprise! Or the Liset!
    Soooo that would be cool.

    Also another that they will bring out 22nd Century Maco uniforms!
    :D
