    Please clarify:

    Enhanced Tech / Spec point is ONE TIME ONLY or ONCE PER WEEK (first three weeks)?

    Just so folks don't get the idea that they can play this episode weekly and get one spec point per week forever.
    I do believe it's once per week for the three weeks. You can get up to a maximum of three enhanced tech points or three spec points.

    Well, everyone can now shut up about not having enough spec points.

    I for one am pleased enough that I may start buying Zen again, if this trend in pursuing quality continues.

    Still 3 spec points for 3 playthroughs, it's an excellent reward. Even the much maligned Cardassian Struggle arc would get replayed something similar was offered.

    we would rather wait a week and release the episode as it is intended to be.
    While I can understand there may be frustration in waiting an additional week for content that was previously announced, I hope everyone can understand the reasons behind this decision and that our goal is to deliver a polished and fun mission.

    thx for this decision. the frustation would have been of having a bugged mission. :)

    i can't wait to try this mission; i'm interested by the story, not really by the rewards.

    We are in fact going Hufflepuff from now going forward.
    However in regards to the reward schema for FE releases, I am not sure if this is the 'norm'.

    I don't think people should shut up about it, as you put it. I mean, it's only 3 and to max out all spec trees you need 105. :P

    But yes, it's definitely a nice reward for the mission and in fairness it's probably two more spec points than I'd get simply in the three weeks that the mission is featured. So four in the time I'd normally get one can't be called a bad thing haha. :D

    So, a licensing agreement with Warner Bros.?

    That didn't turn out too well for the Matrix Online.

    Besides, everybody knows Slytherin is where it's at.

    just have to say im surprised . not mad or angry in the least just surprised that they are admitting they have an issue and are delaying the episode. if it means getting a working game or addressing some bugs they game has id be ok with a year long delay . But really is good to at least hear something other than the normal chest pounding. I mean i have waited going on 3 years now for the tailor slots i bought and paid for to be fixed and still nothing not even a word saying ok we know about it and are trying to fix it. One week isnt going to kill anybody.

    Popping in to say thanks for this. I too appreciate the communication and the decision. The option of a spec point is much appreciated too.

    So, its one skill point or one enhanced tech point per week?

    ...and, people are happy for getting 'one' point per week?

    'One' point.

    Captains! We're going to be making some changes to our Featured Episode: House Pegh.

    Learn more about the changes and what will be coming in our blog here.

    Welcome news, better to wait and play an episode that is not broken.

    Total respect for this move. Don't rush out a broken product, take your time and do things right.

    Thanks fellas!

    Well, I'm glad to see y'all are taking your time with this. Still not really keen on the idea of having to wait a whole week for each part of the set to be released, but hey, free spec points and tech upgrades? There's really no beating that, is there? ;)

    Waiting to correctly configure something so it works as advertised rather rush it out because Marketing has decreed it must be released upon such and such a date?

    Dangerously radical idea, salami_inferno. You need to be careful here. People might begin to suspect you want an STO which is actually playable rather than just a whale milking machine. :D

    I am very encouraged by this. Well done, Sir! Well done, indeed! Here's hoping your 'damn the torpedoes!' idea takes root and become the norm rather than the exception.

    And one more thing: What can I do to help your brand of rebellion take hold faster?

    EDIT: I fully intend to create a char specifically for this House. Of course his name simply has to be Simon, lol.

    Just wanted to say THIS is the kind of Transparency, the honesty we want to see from Cryptic.

    We don't want what the Feds have. We want the equivalent. We want fairer treatment. Concern, desire, greed to some extent, and passionate belief that the enough people would buy KDF items to make it worth Cryptic's while.

    I'm with you there.... Here you will build a city and I will be nice and give you one permit or one worker (that only works for a short period of time) per month and I will do this for three months. Have Fun!.... oh I'm sorry, you have more than one city to build? Well you only can use that permit and/or worker on only one city each but, again, Have Fun! -_-

    I can totally see that. ;)

    If Ravenpuff existed, that would totally be where I'd go. Trying to be nice and agreeable yet at the same time philosophizing on the House system enough to decide it's evil and needs to be abolished. ;)



    Anyway, on a serious note, this is a big decision and one that I am pleased to see. I've been saying it for months now, and of course when the forum migration was delayed I said it again: it is much better to delay something, to have the guts to push the Big Red Emergency Stop Button, and wait until something is right to release it, than to slavishly adhere to deadlines to the point of not caring what is being shoveled out onto the player. I really appreciate it, as it's a sign that things could improve. I know I am saying this right after also saying my piece about the Sheshar and Lohlunat Pearls, but I believe in credit where credit is due.

    Had to read it twice to make sure I wasn't dreaming. A release delayed for quality control. Hell has frozen over. Hope this happens more often in the future.
