    “‘Khitomer in Stasis’ is no longer eligible to be chosen via Random TFO, at any difficulty level“

    What do you make of that?

    I doubt we would get a ground TFO as the next event. Risa is in Normally July,
    But the “tentative roadmap” seems to indicate it is to follow Pahvo for the PC schedule.

    If they are recording voiceovers the next content is almost ready. I would imagine the next event will be related to “Khitomer” content—

    But “Khitomer stasis” seems unlikely

    Thanks for the fixes, Cryptic! Also, it is 5/21/20 not 4/28/20 @ambassadorkael#6946. One last thing, it is the Dyson Sphere Adventure Zone not the Dyson Sphere Adenture Zone (sounds like people either have dentures, teeth issues, or are slaves). Please use spell-check, it should be mandatory for those in the gaming industry, you are professionals for crying out loud! Thanks. :)

    *sigh* still no fix for the Korath uniform.

    What do you make of that?

    It's not spam the space bar or timer based content?

    Another piece of classic STO bites the dust 😢

    It is not biting the dust and will return when ready. If I am wrong, I am wrong.

    Probably one of the devs didn't like how complicated it was like with the other borg ground stf. We might see it get an update to dumb it down or remove some of the strategy.

    Went back in time last wee too. That was never amended. Still got the incorrect date on the Mudd thread too The Mudd's Stealing Time Bundle is coming to Mudd's Market on 5/21! Each bundle you purchase will allow you to pick three of six rewards, including ships that used to be Lock Box and Promotion exclusive! 50% off until 5/29! That has not been corrected (should read 5/26 NOT 5/29)

    Khitomer in Stasis is available as a normal click to play TFO then?

    Off topic but can we get properly scaled ship interiors?? Even small interiors seem really massive..And the warp core in engineering seems like its a building in its own right..This is for ever ship interior..Sca;ed interiors would be appreciated if possible..This is the main reason why I don't use my ship interiors..

    Should be. They're just removing it from the list of TFOs you COULD get from Random Queue.

    Why are you guys handing out additional rewards for players using a random TFO system, if - at this rate - it will soon only apply to missions that players would be playing anyway?

    Doesn't make an awful lot of sense, does it?

    Anyway, since we're unlikely to get a proper answer, I guess I'll simply treat this - both the decision itself as well as the poor communication - as just another reason to quit playing this game.


    With ever more greed and selling the same products multiple times in slightly different ways, all the continuous events and associated 'treat this game like a job'-attitude I was already moving in that direction anyway, so thank you for giving me more reasons not to spend any more time or money here. I'll happily spend it elsewhere.

    It is not biting the dust and will return when ready. If I am wrong, I am wrong.

    Just like Infected ground was put back into the randoms? Still waiting on that.

    I can't imagine why Khitomer was taken out. There were no issues with it as long as you have one person that can operate the secret room, the rest just pew pew.
  • garaffegaraffe Member Posts: 1,353 Arc User
    Gosh, the borg ground TFOs have always been my favorite because there is strategy, you have to use your brain as well as your gun. It is a real shame to see them brushed to the side in favor of the fast pased keep-shooting-until-its-over ground missions of this day and age.

    However, with most players not understanding the strategy, and not willing to learn, this decision makes sense. The current player base does not want challenging content that using strategy, they just want to shoot things. Cryptic must cater to these players because they are the vast majority (especially on console where I am).

    I really hope we get the First Contact rewards account unlocked like they said they'd be soon. I'd hate to have to wait a year for what should be a simple fix.

    Fox I said nothing about randoms. I said unless I am wrong that it will return when it is ready. I don't know about Infected though. That is all I said. As for why it was taken out, the clue might be in the Ten Forward Weekly where they discussed updating the graphical assets of Khitomer and Klingon bridges/interiors for the Year of Klingon. With pictures of before and after in a slideshow.

    But the TFO map is completely different—the only correlation is the name.

    Apparently the Khitomer here refers to a Klingon task force? the location is the Vega colony.

    I guess I never paid much attention to the story. The connection to Khitomer doesn’t really make sense... The TFO was just originally called “Khitomer Accord” maybe cause Starfleet and Klingons were working together despite the war.
