Incredible Lack of News

in Star Trek Online General Discussion
The fire seems to be fading, there hasn't been much news in ages about any substantial content. A few bits here and there, a few small events like First Contact Day. But nothing much since end of January. I see there's a new reputation coming but no official announcement yet. Hope they throw us a bone soon.

    Exactly as I said, nothing substantial in any of those, except maybe the roadmap which gives very little information at all.

    So only story episodes are "substantial" to you? Fair enough, we've had to wait a bit for new ones.

    I don't know it's been like 5 days since the last event ended. We're actually about due for a different kind of crybaby thread. Usually it's the "event fatigue" variety that comes around when we have events back to back to back to back. Not the DDDDOOOOOOMMMMMM variety.
    When you see "TRIBBLE" in my posts, it's because I manually typed "TRIBBLE" and censored myself.

    I guess so. Its not like we don't already get content more often than some of the BIG MMOs out there that have to wait years for the next expansion to get anything other than regulary scheduled events.

    Yeah, but the difference in the quality between those that have to wait, and us shows. They get new challenging content. We get reskinned copy/paste mechanics.

    Plus, with the other games, where it takes them a couple years to release something new. They actually work to fix as many bugs as they can. Cryptic just jumps from this episode to that one, with some events tossed in, and bugs that were reported at launch, still haven't been fixed.

    The issue at hand is that different people have different definitions of "meaningful" content. For some its story missions, for others its just new stuff in general. And even then... people complain that something isn't just given to them just for logging in, and then complain there's nothing to do. Hell... this very thread gives the false idea that there is absolutely NOTHING coming at all, despite all the news articles brought up by others about upcoming content.

    STO is not an MMO juggernaught like WoW or TOR. Its a smaller game, with a smaller dev team.

    Is it a perfect game? No. And frankly there never will be such a thing as a "perfect" game. The fact remains that we do get new things more often. So the complaint that there is no new content is pretty lame. Its just content the complaintant doesn't want.

    Expecting WoW level quality story missions on a weekly basis or even a monthly basis is unatainable. Likewise Bug Fixes happen quite often compared to some games, yet they can only do so much a week. Expecting all bugs to be squashed is unatainable, especially in an MMO. And demands for a "bug fix season" where "all new content is halted until all bugs are fixed" is basically asking for the game to come to a grinding halt, and the second they add some new content, guess what? More bugs. Guess we'd better full stop halt on any further content until those bugs are fixed... oh wait... that fix just made a new bug. Guess this game might as well just go into maintenance mode as we're never gonna get any new content until every last bug is fixed, including the new ones.

    This is simply a case of "You can't please everyone". It is well documented that Cryptic does ANYTHING, and someone is going to complain that it isn't what they want. They could even give things away in the C-Store for FREE... and someone will complain. People have complained about the inclusion of Kelvin Timline and Discovery content because "reasons". Mostly stupid personal bias ones. But that's getting a little too off track.

    Never anything constructive. Always rantings about something they don't want when something is added.

    You can't please everyone.
