This poll is exclusively about the queues and battlezone content.
Please try to briefly explain why you give your answer.

No... Fleets/pves/PvP/battlezones.
Hence why it's been classified as a MMORPG.... Emphasis on RPG part!
I'd guess you can find good multi-player if you find the right group or fleet.
A player has to socialize and find likeminded a lot in order to fully enjoy teamed PvE/PvP nowadays.
Playing STO alone is boring beyond believe.
Looking for a fun PvE fleet? Join us at Omega Combat Division today.
Storyline is debatable, play through some of SWTOR's class stories.
Where STO shines is ship variety.
TOR was also done by Bioware, a company known for story quality. Also TOR is a different animal entirely with a much bigger budget, so not exactly a fair comparison.
Ship variety isn't the only area where STO shines. Its got one of the BEST customization systems ever for characters. And the best part... you can change your look anytime for free in the tailor, and new outfits are relatively cheep and are account unlocks. Except for Lobi outfits.
SWTOR is a space MMO, the comparison is valid. You can't just say it isn't because you don't think it's fair.
But I will agree, DTO does have the better space barbie
This said, I belief if it was the other way arround, STO growing in a thrue multiplayer game, a game where most content is only suited for groups, there would be a bigger problem.
Do realize, that all MMO, at least the theme park as they are called, are in fact single player games adepted so all players play in one realm. Everybody does the same thing. We all killed Hakeev. How is that possible. If two players play the Witcher, they both have the same adventure, each however on his own system. When we play a theme park MMO, each player plays the same story, has the same adventure, but we are all in one game world.
Sandbox MMO's are much more MMO, because each player can experience the game in the way he wants. The foundry is also worth metioning. Players can add content, so you can choose your own path and experience in the game world.
TOR is mostly on the ground though. The few space portions are rail shooters from what I heard, similar to Star Fox. It would probably be more accurate to compare TOR to WoW because of its heavy ground focus and large scale ground maps that require mounts or a taxi to get across quickly. Not to mention the fact that roles are more clearly defined by class selection. By comparison, STO has small ground maps and roles are less defined.
as for the poll, i can not answer this because the answers have a bias. a simple yes, no or dont know would of been best, then let everyone explain themselves if they wish.
Been around since Dec 2010 on STO and bought LTS in Apr 2013 for STO.
you want massive single player? play DCUO or SWTOR
Well there is that but there's also the implemented abandonware that is Starfighter... an arena style pvp with fighters thats free form, controls are a bit like freelancer
Fair enough lol. I made the poll after a discussion on our fleet's TS, so maybe I was a little too influenced by some stuff people were talking about there.
No. Your fun makes everyone else's fun wrong by default.
So yeah, in that particular respect, STO's pretty much ideal for me. For ground stuff, I have an entire party to control if I'm running solo,and in space, I'm good to go with just my ship. I can find company when I want it, but I don't need it to get things done.
There are:
Two "Yes" Votes.
One "No" Vote.
One "Yes & No" Vote, which is really just a THIRD "Yes" Vote.
The "No" Vote, by the way, is a false choice. It is nearly impossible to honestly say "I almost always feel like we're working as a team" in a game where a huge portion of the game's storyline is presented in a mission designed to be played by a single player. It is in the game's endgame content that STO really becomes a multiplayer game: STFs, BZs, Fleets & Armadas, etc. The thing is, your question asks if STO is "rapidly becoming the greatest Massively Singleplayer Online game." No, it is not "rapidly" doing anything, it has always been like this, and it still is. In fact, over time, these endgame components have been added and/or developed into something bigger than it originally was, so if STO is "becoming" anything, it is becoming MORE MULTIPLAYER over time. Still not "rapidly" though...
So, again, there are 3 "Yes" Vote options and a False Choice.
I almost always try to vote against a poll's bias, so even if though "No" is set up as a false choice, I chose it.
I take your point, but to be fair, the description underneath says that it's exclusively about endgame queue and battlezone content. As in, not foundry and not the story.
No. Your fun makes everyone else's fun wrong by default.
I will concede that perhaps there needed to be different/more answer choices. It's an honest question to which I wondered what others opinions were. It really wasn't my intention to skew anything or manipulate people's answers. I guess I hang my head in forum poll shameland and will try to do better next time haha.
No. Your fun makes everyone else's fun wrong by default.
now, more often than not, it's only 1/5 (and 4/5 times that's only me)
i don't use the channel's for a few reasons, 1 being that i actually want to play the end game, not zooom through it, like i'm using \dev_god_mode
I don't worry.
Don't get your hopes up. When the game closes down, likely one or the following two are true:
1) The game isn't financially viable, and as such, investing in a single player version would be impossible due to lack of funding.
2) Cryptic's license ended and wasn't renewed and they wouldn't even be allowed to release it as stand-alone game (likely that isn't even covered by their current license).
If you're feeling lonely in game it's probably because your personality has bad breath.
Had its ups and downs, but would very much like to see them restored.
But you can run much of the Adv and Norm queues as a solo hero. a 75k player can solo all adv content.
I'd even say 50k could solo most adv queues with the proper techniques.
STO is a strange breed in the game market.
part MMO
part Single player with Co-op options
Part MOBA
Part RPG
Part Trek
Edit: I didn't vote, as there was no "Other" option.
