So...when exactly is the Ask Cryptic refered to in this thread going to take place?

That's my question also. The date of this article was 1/27/2010. Stormshade wrote that we are getting as many answers to our questions in the 'next couple of days' from 1/27/2010.

Star Trek Online's Lead Designer Al Rivera explains STO's robust skill system, and we want your questions about this system for our next Ask Cryptic!

Please post any questions you have about this article or Star Trek Online's Skill System here. We'll answer as many as we can in the next couple of days!

Link to the news article.

note the word "NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS"!

It's been a couple of WEEKS now. Not ONE question has been answered about SKILL SYSTEM since that article has been posted.




Looks like Cryptic is dropping the ball on Ask Cryptic. Either that or StormShade moved on to CO forums and have forgotten about the Ask Cryptic. Now our new manager needs to be on the ball!!!

    I suspect that the poor guys at Cryptic are literally buried under work. I believe that they are hiring right now, maybe in a few weeks they'll be able to do all the things they want to do, but right now, well, it's obvious that they can't keep up.

    There is no excuse for poor communication, but to be fair, Stormshade did get pulled over to Champions Online (he didn't just ditch us) and they have recently had an Ask Cryptic/Dev Blog for that game. (To be blunt, CO needed the TLC.)

    I can only hope that Cryptic gets their act together on the communication front.

    I've said it before, I'll say it again.

    Cryptic and all other MMO companies run on "Valve Time" after it's official adoption by the industry

    Buried you have no idea mna. They are chained to the desks with their mighty task masters in wait to unleash their nine tail whips upon the silly sleepy programmers!

    Funny translations. I love it.


    They need to add one in for blizzard's StarCraft2 release date.

    "Somtimes in the First half of 2010" = "June 30th".
