Id like to know as well hopefully more then just the radioepisodes
I was under the impression that all of those raids and stuff on the "Up and coming" page will be coming in the patch next week, and this "45 day patch" would have a bunch of other unrelated stuff. but, I should know by now with cryptic than to not hope for the best.. so my guess is it's just going to be all that stuff on the up-and-coming page spread out as thinly as possible.
there wont be such a thing like big 45 day expansion patch... if you say so, source?
we will get a rolling release of the stuff that they presented at the upcoming next page over the next 2 months.... which is like 60 days.
so there is all the information basically.
Well, they may be ahead of schedule on the content update and have added some surprises that we may enjoy. Its not outside of the realm of possibility.
The other possibility, that we may not GET all the things listed because they didnt have time to include them is also real.
But I feel the most likely thing to happen, is we will get exactly what they've listed. So yea, you're probably right.
another thing that really sucks is the limitation of 3 character slots, what the heck is that. they should unlock you another slot for hitting admiral 5, capped at 10 slots, something like that.

Yes. Its one of my beefs as well.
Its taking me about a month to reach end game only because I never play the game because I dont WANT to reach end game and have nothing to do.
So I reach end game. Then make a Klingon alt and do some PvP, while at the same time I make a Fed alt and play through the core game again. Thats another month I would imagine.
And then what? Cryptic expects me to pay them MORE money on top of my monthly fee to keep playing? What if I dont want too? Does that mean Cryptic doesnt want my monthly fee anymore?
Doesnt really seem like a way to ensure monthly subscriptions too me.
To be honest the only thing I'm expecting on the 45th day are posts asking where's the patch.
Other than saying they plan to release new content on a 45 day cycle, I'm suspecting that is more a strategy moving forward, rather than a reality for the first few months following release.
I think we'll see what's summarised under the "what's coming" section expanded upon and being more than percieved. Especially the Klingon PVE content. However, I think initially it will be rolled out (whenever) over two months (as they state) and we won't be seeing an initial 45 day major patch.

Your post makes a lot of sense. And it makes me very sad.
I too want more character slots. I don't even care if they are 1200 cryptic points I just want to feed my altaholic addiction. I had five level 80's in wow. Not to mention the bunch of other characters above level 60 and the half dozen @ 30-50 :P
Having actually challenging gameplay would be a good start.
Well Ive gotten blown up in a mission before. I think.......its been awhile. Anyways, the game is pretty challenging. But there are far better players than me Im sure and far worse too.
To those that are very good players? Game is probably too easy. To very poor players? The game is probably giving them a heck of a challenge.
Making it much harder would sure make the good players happy probably, but then the players with less skill would probably cry foul and quit the game. So I would imagine Cryptic has tried VERY hard to try and make the game accessible to those with novice skills, while making it challenging to those who have played this type of game before or just have natural ability.
And that is just a dauntingly difficult task I would imagine. I think as far as the difficulty goes they've found a good middle ground. Im enjoying it at least. I could stand for some more difficulty myself, but I dont think everyone would appreciate that if it happened.

*applause* But I think there has been talk of adding a difficulty slider in the future, hopefully not to distant future.

Well I want bathing suits for Risa... and a cocktailbar on Vulcan naturally. Hmm or how about a spacebar looking over the debris of Romulus? And I'd like to pay a visit to Starfleet Academy!
But above all, I'd like to see the Klingon PvE content coming in. I totally love my Orion Science officer but I've never been an overly big fan of PvP. I enjoy the occasional match but there has to be something else as well. Doing the "PvE Empire Defense" stuff only keeps one interested so long.
Please let it be a mission to the Mirror Universe? Please let it be a mission to the Mirrior Universe? Please let it be a mission to the Mirrior Universe? Please let it be a mission to the Mirrior Universe?
Uh...there already is a mirror universe mission for RA 1
I know what we'll get for the 45 day patch. We'll get a forum that is full of flames because Cryptic didn't do enough, or because Cryptic fixed other problems instead of their personal problem of not having mixed color shoelaces or whatever. We'll have a plethora of 'I QUIT!!!!" posts because Cryptic didn't implement the OPs favorite idea, even though they never said they would and the only place said idea is in the OPs post titled, "What this game NEEEEEEEDSSSSSS or it is teh suxxorz!" And finally, the oh so sad and disapointed posts about how Cryptic doesn't understand Star Trek like THEY understand Star Trek, and Cryptic is being a bad husband to the STO franchise for not treating it tenderly and lovingly like THEY would.

I hope it includes loads and loads of diplomacy
we will get a rolling release of the stuff that they presented at the upcoming next page over the next 2 months.... which is like 60 days.

Come again?

You mean this?

And as far as 45 day patch is concerned if i am not wrong it has Klingon PVE content in it?
The executive producer saying they intend a 45 update cycle.
Well, they may be ahead of schedule on the content update and have added some surprises that we may enjoy. Its not outside of the realm of possibility.

well since we already got the information for the first "cycle" you could name this "45+60 day patch"
Well I want it NOW! LoL.
Im getting closer and closer to end game which doesnt exist. The patch will add some. Just when I need it too.
And I'd also love to make a Klingon alt when I reach end game and enjoy that side of the game. But I dont want to do it unitl they add the content.
So what does this update mean to me? A whole extra month of play thats what. So I coudlnt be more excited and impatient for it.
Yes. Its one of my beefs as well.

In other words, the same ole same.
