    Probably the beginning of May, when the newest [Fill in the Blank] Lockbox drops. The last two (the ones in the New Frontiers Arc) released to coincide with new Lockbox releases.

    When space re-balance kicks in there'll be a lot of rebuilding to do and hopefully re-play value for old content.

    I doubt the balance pass will add any kind of re-play value to old content.

    The New Balancing starts on April first and will be real APRIL's fools joke on everyone. Good luck getting bored since you might be the only one playing STO after that :o

    Was just thinking that this game has become about as much fun as watching paint dry. I downloaded The Old Republic I got os bored. Craptic, this is not how you run a game... Need to release content faster or players leave.

    To an extent the re-balance boosts pets and punishes unbalanced builds that are a long way from what we saw on the shows.

    To be fair... we do get content faster than a lot of other MMOs. Instead of having to wait for expansions like WoW, we get new content on a relatively regular basis.

    Hopefully next month.

    I decided to create a Romulan Engineer to "kill time". Now I have a Romulan in each career. But that means yet another character I need to devote resources to... I think I will just cap things off at ultra rare Mk XIV for this character.

    STO hiatus time. Just got a ps4 and Horizon Zero Dawn. Mass Effect Andromeda just dropped as well. Upcoming space Nerf, Universe class ships... I'm sure thats put a hurt on Cryptic's metrics

    One new EP per half year or so is abysmally slow. A new BZ thats a trainwreck.... Yeah content.....

    Well look to the last two:

    'Echos of Light', October 20th, Sphere Builders Lockbox

    'Of Signs and Portents' January 26th, Undiscovered Lockbox.

    So keeping this pattern, April 27 or May 4 with the who knows Tzen'kethi Lockbox???

    I hope they release more sets like the one from Echo's of Light for other damage types. That was a pretty sweet gear set for disruptor ships.

    If you can afford the 70 bucks or so, get mass effect Andromeda. Amazing story and gameplay. You actually can explore planets in your 6 wheel drive vehicle. So much story, so many side missions, and you have jump jets on your suit!! No more need to run from enemies when you can jump large distance to cover! Crafting weapons and gear that are usable and fun. Mining. Everything you wish we could have for ground in STO - but don't!!

    I'll wait until it goes on sale / 1st DLC is released / gets patches like I did for all the previous games I have bought. The exceptions are Fallout 3 (purchased day 1) and Fallout 4 (pre-ordered).

    Thats cool but isn't this a standalone PC game and not an MMO? whats the fun of killing a ton of pixels without actually facing the human component or socializing with other players? I know perhaps it does have some limited multiplayer option. However, a multiplayer option is always inferior to a true MMO experience. I rather do SWTOR, WOW or even EVE than just another fancy PC/console game.

    If 90% of the dead PvE queues were able to be played, things would be a little less boring. But single player... bad..grunt.

    ME Andromeda is currently bombing the reviews. User score on Metacritic is a whopping 4.1/10
    Doesn't seem promising.

    Eh I'm just glad I didn't buy the Pre Order Collectors edition @ 110.00 $

    Theres a lot of mixed reviews, everybody seems to agree travelling is an unnecessarily rediculous chore cuz of loading screens. Ill prolly play it eventually cuz i loved the first 2 and a half games but then towards the end of 3 it started getting meh. Im told the inventory system in andromeda is a mess too.. wonder if its as bad as me1's that was pretty bad.

    There is no Mass Effect. It was annoraxed out of history as punishment for the abomination they called an ending in 3.

    most still have them, and will continue to have them until we get to a point where entire GBs worth of data can be loaded in a millisecond​​
    Like special weapons from other Star Trek games? Wondering if they can be replicated in STO even a little bit? Check this out: https://forum.arcgames.com/startrekonline/discussion/1262277/a-mostly-comprehensive-guide-to-star-trek-videogame-special-weapons-and-their-sto-equivalents

    Horizon zero dawn is worth a play for sure. An openworld game done well without being stacked with a crazy number of collectibles like arkham knight, any ubisoft game or even the new zelda. New zelda game isn't the 10/10 that most outlets seemed to think, weapons have durability but don't show you what that is or cooking that doesnt have a recipe book of any kind and forces you to make each dish one at a time yet eating food is the only way of regaining health.

    As for mass effect I lost interest in that series with the first one and from what I've seen on streams I'm not really missing that much. It does seem that they're trading on the franchise name rather than a solid game, similar to fallout 4 which was little more than a reskinned skyrim with the flaws and bugs carried over.

    If folks are after a time filler and like metroidvania style games check out hollow knight.

    I've really, really enjoyed Horizon: Zero Dawn so far.
