"Players should no longer be able to use party powers such as the Disco Ball on other players around the statue of Spock on Vulcan. "

(from the current REDSHIRT Patch Notes - March 10th, 2015)

    Hmm, Redshirt not Tribble?

    Nice to see them promote something with a little more class for a change though. I'm pleasantly surprised.

    Beyond the ... discussion, that has been brewing...,

    It never felt right to me to be partying on Vulcan anyway.
    Though it seems that it's only around the Statue that this effects, it's a nice compromise none-the-less.

    Sure they can, just not immediately around the statue.

    It was put on Redshirt because Tribble is being used for Season 10. Remember Redshirt is used whenever they are testing stuff for an upcoming large update (such as a season, season x.5 or Expansion). Hence why Sector Space revamp isn't coming right now.

    Frankly, I'd like to see them add some options into the Controls that allow you to opt OUT of social device silliness and maybe even so far as to block the sound and FX from your speakers and screen.

    I get so tired of trying to take care of my business in locations like ESD only to get bombarded with Disco Bombs and such. Usually I try and change over to the LEAST populated instance of those locations, but sometimes that doesn't even help.

    Basically, I'd like a "GO BUG SOMEONE ELSE" master control in Options that makes me immune to that TRIBBLE.

    I know it's difficult, but Ignoring them and hitting MUTE is still the easiest way to ruin their attempt at what they call fun.

    Well, it caused quite a stir for a week anyway.

    And actually, the topic of assorted not-so-popular actions from several in-game items, has been a reoccurring theme in these forums for several years now.

    We do because it's a nice blatant little smack down on the fleet of self proclaimed party guardians who've been griefing people visiting the memorial on Vulcan while proclaiming that what they've been doing isn't breaking any rules.

    And while Cryptic won't name and shame griefers, this is proof that what was going on was a violation of the ToS, and they took steps to enforce the rules so griefing there can't continue.

    I'm not so sure about it actually being a confirmation of any ToS violations.

    It's more like a compromise to keep the peace around here.

    Given that they just had to remove a whopping ~30 page thread on the subject (remove, not close - the URL now gives me a 404), it seems that they stepped in to deal with an apparently hot topic issue. I'm disappointed that they're picking the side of some pretty outrageous people (seriously, people were getting pretty absurd who were opposed to it), but they did need to do something.

    SCM - Hive (S) - [02:31] DMG(DPS) - @jarvisandalfred: 30.62M(204.66K) - Fed Sci

    Tacs are overrated.

    They'll find ways around it, like they always do. And if they can't, they'll probably launch a DoS attack at the servers and wipe out everything.
    Rejoice JJ Trek people....

    Yeah... ummm... how about we keep the cheap-shots for another occasion... like when it's a thread you've started.

    I've got no problem with anybody posting, let's just try to not immediately take the low-road to the gutter.
