Its ridiculous my first post be on something like this.

Most major MMORPG's (WoW, DDO, SWG,, etc) experienced heavy startup issues and bugs during beta testing and the first several weeks following the launch date. Everyone wasting their time screaming at Cryptic and threatening to quit (which appears to be at least half) need a reality check. The fact of the matter is that these problems with the server and functionality are absolutely normal during this transitional phase .

I assure you that Cryptic does take this seriously and the reason your tickets haven't been answered is that they are deluged with them and do not have the manpower to work on the problems you want fixed so badly AND individually answer ticket #7423 of #18977 all of which referes to the exact same complaint. They have a team of programmers probably putting in VERY long shifts (if not around the clock) trying to iron all this **** out so they don't lose all you impatient players that want everything NOW.

I'm really sorry if you see your 50 cents a day trickling away and feel cheated or something but you need to accept the simple truth that in the grand scheme of things that thgis game is only about 2/3s of the way from it's finished product and this will be happening for WEEKS if not MONTHS. It will eventually taper off.......as the others did. STO was only officially launched within the last couple of weeks.....They spent many millions of dollars to get it this far from ground zero and have vested interest in wanting to do right by us.

I mean, it's not as if the Star Trek fanbase has ever been easy to please if it's less than perfect which is exactly why alll the other trek games essentially failed. I'm impressed they even had the balls to attempt something like this in the first place. Let them do their jobs. It will get finished......so for the sake of the rest of us that wish to be a "constructive" force in the ONGOING development of this game. Shut the f*ck up. Period.

    Interesting that this account was just recently created, has only 2 posts and defends this game. Does Atari have people on the forums full time trying to counter the negative comments from players? I'm really starting to wonder. This is not the first time I've seen an account do nothing more than counter negative player feedback (without admitting they have anything to do with the game).

    If you check my posts, you can see that I actually play the game. It's not that hard to do. Just click on my name.

    And yeah, my posts today are negative because I'm stuck here since the servers have been down most the morning. I don't bother posting when I can play.

    You are welcome to check my name on the server to see if I play the game or not. I work a 3rd shif convenience store job and am not cool enough to claim that they work for the developers. In fact the very concept that I'm wasting valuable minutes off my life I'll never get back arguing semantics over this should indicate how much of a life I don't have. I did notice that nobody argued any of my points though and just theorized as to who I worked for. The word for that is "backpeddling".

    i'm sure they really don't lol.

    it's a common accusation in the tinfoil hat zones of mmo forums. fanboi's work for the game's devs, and haters work for blizzard or x game company.


    and to the other poster: how can i tell if you actually play the game or not from your posts? all posts prove is that you post on the forums, and which forum you post in indicates if you have an active forum sub.

    for example in wow, the off topic forums are filled with people who's posts seem to indicate that they pay the sub fee just to complain talk about how much better other games are etc. that's one theory anyway.

    mickeyx :)
    Funny
    After reading your post history. it seems all you ever do is flame ppl. nothing constructive. not a single post.

    SO, what is your contribution to this site/game. ****ing ppl off.

    Also, let me dig a little deeper : with all the posts you have posted ewry day (let me asure the rest of you, it is MANY) 2 conclutions can be drawn :

    1 : you spend more time flaming ppl on the forums then you do playing the game, this lets me draw another conclution : you dont really like the game, You like trolling. wich is kinda pathetic.

    2 : the sheer ammount of time spent on this forum cuppled with the playtime you may or may not be putting in AND the que time. this lets me conclude that you, have no life :)

    Funny, and sad.

    Dear troll.

    You had nothing constructive to say. If you want to have mature discussion try not to insult posters in your title topic. That way more people will take you seriously. I spend 2 hours on forums everyday which is not a LOT of time considering people like you who bought the game did so only in order to insult others on forums. I would say my money is well spent compared to yours.

    Did i upset you, i am glad i did. Look at my signature.

    The OP didn't really add any feedback positive or negative. Figured he wants to stir the pot. Everygame starts with what the OP said as well as the negative post explosion. We cite things such as server capacity planning, stability, skill balance, skills even functioning and the fact that our women can't show more skin as issues that we have gripes against. Some of us complaining as an angry mob and other as more of matter of factly stating our displeasure.

    I'd rather the servers be more stable right now. Not crashing due to the unexpected downtime which is only unexpected by Cryptic/Atari at this point is just poor planning imho. Communicatons could definitely improve, A forum moderator posting that yeah our stuff is broke again doesn't really give us anything we already told them that.

    Oh and beat the person that came up with the new Crystalline Entity encounter please and his brother the guy that invented the Aid the Planet quest.

    You calling us children? ironic isn't it? you call yourself UNDERWEAR. You can't write a single post without using abuses or call people fanboy. Your vocabulary is full of words like FAIL, NUB, and QQ... and we are children? ok :rolleyes:

    so after 15 years of MMO experience, yes MMO's have been out that long if not longer. Newer technology, Newer hardware, Newer programing, and you still allow MMO's like Cryptic think its ok to release a unfinished product? People like you allow this TRIBBLE to happen.

    if you ordered food at a restaurant with your friends, and they did not get what they ordered and they started to *****, are you going to stand up for the restaurant too and say, hey give me a break, eat the stupid thing wither you like it or not.

    Stop defending companies you claim you do not work for. Stop telling people to stand up for their rights. Its their money, They can ***** about it if they like to because some people like to get what they paid for, not a half TRIBBLE pile of ****, hell they forgot to develop the smell for this ****, not enough content!

    I know your not in grammar school. in fact I am far from being able to teach about grammar and spelling. but let me give you good advise that helps out a lot.

    Use Firefox, they have a built in spell checker, and its amazing :D not trying to make fun of you or your spelling, like I said i am far from being perfect my self. but with all these fan boy's lurking around like trolls, all you will do is feed them with things to make you angry.

    Is it THAT hard to believe that someone thats been looking forward to this game forever and comes into it would like it?
    I do (for the most part)
    Is that hard to understand?
    nah we all have to hate this game. Not give it time to grow. It isnt what we expected. They should shut it down and give us out money back. This guy must work for a gaming company. Thats much more reasonable.

    Dude this was meant has a sarcastic post , yes the spelling was bad for the humor of it and the grammar, but thanks for looking out, and sorry you did not get it , I guess I need to go back to comedian school.
