CrypticSpartan, do we have an ETA on the tribble fix for the rifle bug? Or will it be this upcoming thursday?
My current understanding is that the patch is later today.
Just so you know spartan, your(?) team has outdone themselves with what I've currently been able to play..unfortunately, that hasn't been very much, but it's still very good.
the build is incomplete, the doctor has a 25th century rifle because that is what the game's code thinks he should have, because what rifle he's holding has no effect on what's going on. This is like walking up to a half built house and demanding to know why there are no windows...
Everywhere I look, people are screaming about how bad Cryptic is.
What's my position?
That people should know what they're screaming about!
(paraphrased from "The Newsroom)
Sorry about the late response; the issue with equipping the rifle should be fixed in the next Tribble patch.

It was my understanding that the player was supposed to defeat the NPC using harsh language...
This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.
wonderfull... got a patch, now i get a message telling me that the game version is not matching the version on the server, not able to get a connection to the server and so cant play anymore.. so ok, rifle bug is done, cuz game is done.. funny way to fix buggs.. XD
I've managed to get passed the equip rifle bug by swapping to a previously transfeered character then back, game made the progression sound and I could move on.
However (spoiler alert!) the chief I have to defeat a little later down the line isn't there, showed up in cutscene but vanished. Also some NPC's I assume I'm supposed to rescue after defeat have also gone. Will try same trick again to see if it fixes this problem.
Can't seem to do anything about this brick wall, have tried character swap, even BBQ'd self on one of the camp fires. Which, on another note, you need to add some respawn points, maybe just after entering ship or something.
Will hang on until another patch before attempting again.
UNrelated note, as many others have said, I feel it needs option to remove that grain effect, it's a bit rough on the eyes to be left unremovable. May put many off. From what I've been reading, may have already put many off.

I had that too, try turning off on demand patching, force verify then go back and turn on demand patching again
I realize you want a scoop, but please don't leak yet. (Set youtube to private as well)

Ok so here is what I have found. If you can not equip the rifle then what you have most likely done is not gone through and clicked each oh the boxes that give the short tutorial on equipping a weapon. If you click each of the 4 boxed then wait about 30 seconds for the quest to catch up to the equip rifle part and then equip the rifle by right clicking on the rifle and selecting equip. You will be able to progress this mission and move on. The key here is to take your time and complete every last step that it gives you.
Hmm...I decided to try to unequip the rifle and pistol on my TOS toon, log into one of my previously transferred characters, and then back onto the TOS toon - just to see if that had any effect on the "equip the phaser rifle" bug.
And it deleted both the rifle and the pistol out of my inventory for some reason.
Hopefully those items will be returned to me after the patch that fixes the bug. Otherwise, this could potentially be a big problem if something like that goes live.
@crypticspartan#0627 do we know when the patch will go live tonight? I'm GMT, and I don't want to be up until 1am, waiting, if it won't be ready.
No idea. We experienced an unexpected issue with the build we were planning on patching, so it's almost certainly going to be later than I originally expected.
@crypticspartan#0627 Ah, bugger. Thanks for keeping us informed at any rate. Here's hoping you get that issue nailed down soon! I wanna bomb around in the Pioneer!

Following up on my last post:
Started a new TOS toon, and unequiped the phaser pistol before I left on the shuttle down to the planet - in anticipation of having the Rifle bug pop up again - once I loaded into the planet, my inventory was empty, so no pistol anymore.
I still can't post in game bug reports, so I figured I'd just toss this one in here.
EDIT TO UPDATE:
I discovered that I still have the pistol, even though it isn't in my inventory. If I click on the weapons slot in the character sheet, the option to equip the pistol is there.
i want what? sorry, i dont understand what you mean.
update:
after round about 9gb patch finaly i get back in the game, but still rifle bug is blocking me off.. the equiped rifle is not notified, so no progress
A scoop. It's the term used when a journalist/reporter is the first one to report on a (large) story.
Borticuscryptic asked (could also have been on reddit) not to leak "agents of yesterday" content which is exactly what you're doing in the YouTube video.
By changing the settings on your youtube video to private it is no longer visible to the public at large.
I am curious (neither gold nor LTS so no access to tribble) but we have to respect the wishes of the developers that they do not want this early version scrutinized by everyone.
If leaks continue to occur they may decide not to let anyone from the players preview/play test for the next expansion.

Then i owe you an apology.
I assumed that you were the owner of that youtube account and thus the source of the leak.

not sure if this is the right section but will there be KDF and romulan TOS era stuff as i feel that would be so cool to aid players who dont want just fed and it may help ppl who would like to see more done with the romulans than just 2 unique story arcs

No, according to the Dev's, the TOS stuff will all be from the Federation point of view because all the classic episodes were from that POV.
They also have stated that They wouldn't have the time or staff to do three different story arcs.
As well as saying that there wasn't enough Klingon nor Romulan background given during TOS and They don't want to create stuff which might be countered in new official shows or movies.

my game just did a patch and no fix as of yet do you mean the next one coming up.
It seems that every time one relaunches Tribble there is a patch...this is not an update patch. Hell, sometimes I even get reverted back to the version that popped up the version mismatch error message.

Looking forward to the patch. Silly question is what time and what zone...
