I'm in several channels, to find groups mainly, or other areas I was invited in,
There's always talk, but it seems a bit different this time
the general message is that people are interested in these pilot ships (they are powerful) but the final analysis is
> why buy new ships if you can't use them. the ongoing lag has gotten to some people. behavior, purchasing/spending behavior is changing, or starting to change.
(I'm referring to the lag)
these are core people who really want to play, they want to spend and play, here, in sto, not somewhere else. Who knows, maybe they will break down and do it anyway because they think things will eventually be fixed, taking it on faith. But, based on the talk, that's what they have been doing already, and it's it's wearing thin.
ground combat leagues/channels have opened up in response to the lag, but changing up what we do in the game ((((while we wait for fixes)))) only lasts so long
imho, you guys really need to stop work on almost everything and focus on this as a company

They have multiple teams.
As for working on it, look here: http://sto-forum.perfectworld.com/showpost.php?p=23765441&postcount=614
Examining this problem has to have multiple sources. Has to have something to do with the internet route from certain users to Cryptic and it has to have something to do with whatever goes on in ISA that's different than other places.

Which channels are you in?
So, you think the game's revenues may start going down because of what you heard "this time"(not even normally) in game chat? LOL ok

I have heard that talk of how you are the coolest person alive, it is an honor to see you on the forums!
This thread = Doom thread.
I'm not sure why you have that experience, but it's in every pve que I've played recently, and the same goes for the people who play them in the channels. It's certainly in khittomer. less than isa, but it's there.
So you want ship designers and environmental artists to work on bugs (which they don't know how to do that). well that wont work.....so you want the devs that don't have knowledge in bug squashing to sit on their hands and sit at work to get paid to do nothing.....no no no that wont do. darn I guess they are just going to have to assign the devs who know how to fix lag and bugs to do just that and assign the other devs to do what they are trained to do.....oh snap that's what they are actually doing............useless thread.
it's the sort of thing where you hear nearly the same thing spontaneously declared from 3 active players/payers in a short amount of time in 3 separate places
people who you would be surprised to hear gripe
Khitomer lag is sooo bad that you can't finish it.. guys get frustrated and bail after 5 min of play and take the leaver penalty..:(
Well, I will say this: every game dies eventually. So even though there are always some people who are the video game equivalent of the guy on a street corner preaching "the end is nigh", some are actually right by mere coincidental timing. I don't actually think this is STO's time, but the reality is there will come a point where revenues will start to trend downwards.
