What an impotent half-measure. Pff. I demand a detailed accounting of what every dev does every second of every day! And no, giving us hourly updates won't suffice. I want 100% live updates! If, for some reason, that's not feasible, I suppose I can settle for 20 updates per hour. If a dev spent 3 minutes on something then we deserve to know! After all, that's 3 minutes they could have spent on something I prefer more!
We know you have it somewhere in the dev workspaces. You know, the white board that lists all the current dev priorities, and expected timelines for completion.
Please post a picture of it here thanks Cryptic.
They'd probably have a Excel Spreadsheets for goals for development, public testing, and release dates.

i think i have a pretty good idea what the devs do for 99% of every day, they are constantly hiding from the spacedragon called IndigoFyre, while sacrificing redshirts to sate his appitite.
though that is just my opinion, but spacedragons scare me and i don't want to be crunched just yet......i'm too young to die.....
We used to have a webcam on the main floor office and the second floor QA and test team area for Championship Manager ( now football manager owned by Sega )
I fear that the Dev;s priority whiteboard would say little more than "get burgers, suntan oil. Beg for Lakers tickets."

That's a bit unfair, they didn't devilver a full game at launch but it's not like they released STO and said "Yep, well there you go you little *******s enjoy this and only this for the next couple of years, haha lifers we got yer money now!"

I'm sorry? What prompted that attack? I made a statement about something I used to be involved in and then a joke about the whiteboard. Where did I warrant your response?

Humor doesn't translate well on the internet. I got your joke though - didn't laugh but I got it at least.

Oh sorry I didn't mean that agressivly I thought you were making a comment about how Cryptic hasn't done any work on STO since launch. Which is a bit unfair. Don't get me wrong, I've basicly seen no changes to STO since launch except my ship shield diagram looks like a little outline of my base class and you can now turn off shield rings, but I'm sure they're working on something.

I live in the cold North West of England. I've not been in Calif. in 15 years. All I could think you might need was burgers sun block and Lakers tickets. It was short notice. I forgot a surf board.
I'm more of an East coast boy. Will be in DC, NYC and FLA this summer.

No not at all. It did not cross my mind. I was just thinking generally about a California lifestyle.
I miss California. Their weather is awesome. Their people are awesome; they actually do things I care about there. You can get sushi at a 7-11. People don't get married straight out of high school there (unless it's Riverside) and the most depressing stories generally involve somebody chasing a dream, which I'd take over the flyover states where the depressing stories involve outgrowing a dream. There are coffee shops on every corner. I'd be happy if the afterlife was remotely like the trips I've taken out there.
If I had a job waiting for me, I'd plant myself in California soil and wouldn't budge until the whole state fell into the pacific ocean,

Actually that is geographically impossi-.....I'm doing it again aren't I?
And I couldn't live there, far too warm. I much prefer the frosty april nights here in Canada, that kind of weather keeps you one your fostbitten toes. Sharp mind and all that, eh?
The dev's main focuses right now are on ship interiors, bringing the Klingon's up to Federation level, non-combat gameplay, and raising the level cap. All of these things will happen in Season 2. On down the road, they seem to be focusing on User Generated Content, Persistent content, and a new faction.

See? Not everything about Star Trek is about Star Trek. Or Vietnam. Sometimes it's just good to blow off some steam and goof about. It can work when we are all on the same page and not pre-judging others.
you don't have to make it serious, it's not the law
i think i have a pretty good idea what the devs do for 99% of every day, they are constantly hiding from the spacedragon called IndigoFyre, while sacrificing redshirts to sate his appitite.
though that is just my opinion, but spacedragons scare me and i don't want to be crunched just yet......i'm too young to die.....
Awww, that space dragon is a big ol' cuddly bundle of space love. The fear is totally misrepresented - you guys only get to deal with him when he's sleep deprived, that's the problem.
Yeah I agree, they really need some kind of font=tone of voice on the internet. I've been seriously flamed because I couldn't type inflection.
One of my friends years ago was attempting to become a professional writer. He had this same problem, sarcasm being one of the most difficult concepts to get across through writing.
So he came up with a new punctuation mark - the Sarcasma.

Also, if this is a joke it is pretty funny. If not... it's still funny.
Undine
although i must assume the response will be the quote in my sig :rolleyes:

White boards are SO 20th century.
I think you forgot the /sarcasm
if not, uh hello...engineering reports?
His past posts (what few remain from moderation) lead me to - well - use an analogy:
neutron stars.
That said, it is presumptuous to assume they have a MASTER PLAN whiteboard.

I dont want to see what they are doing or planning to do. I more like it when they make an announcement like:
"Look people we have a new patch for you and it contains [insert coolstuff here] and [insert more coolstuff here]. Have fun peeps"
It is way better

Oh, haha, I get it now. But now I probably look like Geordi in First Contact when he got told what "taking a leak" meant...
It's all cool fella. It wasn't that much of a joke ( as has been pointed out )

-5 sanity points for you

what does this have to do with the alleged "Cryptic" whiteboard?
or Vietnam? What does any of this have to do with Vietnam, man?

No no, the real concern around here is the freaking jaguar prowling the halls.

Hmmm, I can see how that would be a problem.
