    Anyone with any type of mental function left on these forums. I'm sorry my opinion, which is shared by at least ninety percent of the player base, triggered you and that you have an awful enough personality to think of my posting as nothing more than a means to provoke angered reactions from people.

    I would suggest stepping away from the keyboard and calming down before you reply with any sort of response.

    Anyone with any type of mental function left on these forums that came to the conclusion that the game is dead and not worth their time would find better things to do with their time than post on these forums. Life is too short to waste time on things not worth a person's time.

    As far as your opinion being shared by 90% of the playerbase, then it obviously false due to the game would not exist if 90% of the playerbase thought that the game was not worth their time.

    It would be interesting to see old school STO. A lot of things have been added onto STO over the years as well as the power creep. DPS wasn't as rampant as it is now. Science was a lot more powerful in those days. Not in terms of damage power but in that practically the entirety of its skill selection were actually useful and not pointless the way it is now if it isn't CC and Exotic Dmg. Phasers were the unquestioned king of weapons, IMO, as a former PVPer. Back then there was no Phaser proc lockout, no Subsystem Shutdown lockout (oh Viral Matrix, it's been a long time since you had any relevance in this game).

    The game early on was a lot more balanced, though less features. More builds were viably good back then instead of the more tight focus on DPS that exists these days. The NPCs weren't 700k HP Recluse Mooks that we have now.

    Ships were more specialized. A ship with LtCdr out of its main speciality was very rare.

    The only thing in the last 3-4 Years that cryptic made good was Bringing the OLD STO on Redshirt.
    Players Liked it.. and the players still want to see it. i didnt get a chance to play it.. but i know i'd love it there. old earth space dock... very old, and easy playing.. and fun playing.

    if the STO Rebirth comes back... Players will REALLY love it.. more players will be attracted to it.. old players who played this game years ago... and i bet quite a lot of players would even Pay for it.
    so please... Bring back The Old Star Trek Online to redshirt, it will make a lot of players Really happy.. like me :D

    Can someone from the dev team just say anything about this? Just a quick post like:

    - No, never going to happen.

    or

    - Yes, we're working on it.

    or even...

    - We'll think about it.

    Let's just say no, as someone who have played since launch, today's STO is so much better, except for PvP. Admittedly, PvP during that time was fun.

    So your asking them to admit a good portion of there customers don't want the product they are selling right now ?

    If you want this you are saying you don't want anything they have done the last X number of years since the build you want.

    Cryptic won't do something that is going to involve up keeping to entirely different games. Get real folks.

    There is no version of the game ever released that would = everyone happy.

    I mean if they did put up a 1.0 or 1.2 shard for people to play... what you wouldn't want them to fix the bugs on that shard ever ? Its just not realistic at all.

    Really if your that unhappy with this game... and I know most of us are. Just uninstall and find something else created by a more competent / less evil developer. Its not hard to do there are plenty of good options out there.

    STO Rebirth on redshirt.. would have been very cool. and fun. and they simply put it back to DR... and what did they do? they removed it after people spent Hours downloading it.

    Request: For players who Miss and want the STO Rebirth back.. Please Say so.. I know i want it back.

    no matter the answer it's probably best for them not to.

    they say no fan rage from those who like it.

    they say yes fan rage from those who dislike it.

    Fan rage from every where if they say will think about. ether because maybe is not a no. or because maybe = yes = cryptic lied.

    personally I say go ahead but make it sub only so people can get the full experience. After all people want pre ftp. :P

    if I stop posting it doesn't make you right it. just means I don't have enough rum to continue interacting with you.

    Yes sure! That's what good companies do. If not everyone is happy, you try to find a way to make them happy.

    There will be another April Fool's Day next year. :)
    STO is about my Liberated Borg Federation Captain with his Breen 1st Officer, Jem'Hadar Tactical Officer, Liberated Borg Engineering Officer, Android Ops Officer, Photonic Science Officer, Gorn Science Officer, and Reman Medical Officer jumping into their Jem'Hadar Carrier and flying off to do missions for the new Romulan Empire. But for some players allowing a T5 Connie to be used breaks the canon in the game.

    I know that there will be. But they wasted 6 and more hours of my Life Waiting for me to Download it... and When i did.. they KILLED it. and what was i doing while waiting those 6-7 Hours? I was doing nothing.. The problem with Cryptic.. and PWE.. they Dont think about the players. all they think about is Money. and they dont understand.. that Money comes from the players.. and that means.. that if they loose players.. they loose money.. or well potential money.
    Players would pay for something that is actually interesting... not something boring like Delta Rising. and Many players dont know how it was when the game was Not F2P... and the ones that Were there then... They Would Probably like to re-live the memory of playing STO as it was before.

    if they do put it back up.. people will pay a lot for it... People need a break from Master Keys.. Lock Boxes.. and so... and From DR grinding... it all feels like you are working.

    And remember: A Game is Not fun if it feels like Work.

    Your reaction is totally over the top. Next time you fall for an April's Fool joke, just chuckle at yourself, and SHAKE IT OFF.

    And no, "they Dont think about the players. all they think about is Money." doesn't cut it here. :)

    If ALL they care about is money, I'm trying to figure out how they made money off of Rebirth. No one had to pay them to download and play it. :rolleyes:

    There are a few April Fools jokes that last a week, a month in the absolute rarest cases... the joke lasting for an extra day doesn't necessarily mean it's serious.

    And people have been saying STO has been 'looking like it would end soon' since Launch; it's never panned out thus far in 5 years
    Was named Trek17.

    Been playing STO since Open Beta, and have never regarded anything as worse than 'meh', if only due to personal standards.

    Eh, more like it being over 6 GB he had to redownload when it mysteriously vanished after a failed attempt at logging in. (Not to mention the time he spent trying to patch Redshirt from the wrong patch server.)

    The way I understand it, it was true - it just didn't last long enough for him to do more than the abovementioned login attempt. A pity, but the reaction is a bit over the top.

    Infinite possibilities have implications that could not be completely understood if you turned this entire universe into a giant supercomputer.p3OEBPD6HU3QI.jpg

    And in about two weeks the novelty will wear off. Nostalgia lives forever only when you rarely recapture the feel of what once was. Be happy it was so fleeting so you never had to feel boredom set in.

    They did say it wouldn't be up for long, for one it was apparently not stable anyway due to infrastructure development over 5 years, and they need redshirt to serve as a test server for weekly updates while Tribble serves as a preview for the next season update.
