I'm not here to cause any trouble but serious :confused: Is this game still worth playing ?.

I've been playing over a 3 or 4 month period. I've probly gone threw 1 or 2 guilds :confused:

#1 The 1st guild I, was in was just all the friend's I, had over from a previous game SWG.

#2 The 2nd guild hell my computer was down for almost 2 week's and yet. I'm lucky to see 1 person that's on in that guild. Hell if I, can ever get the updated Vent info now lol >.<

Then another thing is there anything new. Like bridge's to starship design or a new starship it looks like another version of SOE's SWG - TCG system you pay for it if you want it especially if it's new :confused:

Only thing it's not a card game built into the game its self >.<

Then there's that naggin feeling where's the content ? almost like asking where's the Beef :eek:

Yet I, never can really ever find it.

Kill a few borg run a few mission's wind back up at Earth Dock & Hardly any one even PVPing... It's like where's the Klingon's ?....

Is there a special date or something when every one is playing ? lol.

    I think so, I love the game. It still needs improvements, but I enjoy it.

    Same here.



    Seems like there isn't really that many klingons playing PvP at RA

    they have a few new designs, it's all in the c-store.

    Short answer: No.

    Long Answer: Heck No.

    Longest Answer: If I wasn't a lifer I would have canceled awhile ago and take a wait and see approach to the game.

    So far it hasn't reached the point where I would pay money to play this game if I did not own an LTS. So I dabble in from time to time (but not enough to justify a monthly sub if I had one).

    Not really. This will be my last month untill they open up the "neutral zone" PvP sectors (if they do that is).

    That's what I'm hoping for, I hate the current PvP system.

    From the sound of your post I am going to say it is probably not worth it for you to play ATM. I would however encourage you to check back around July when season 2 drops and see what has changed then. Also check the engineering report and that will give you an idea of what is coming.

    The game is not worth playing.

    Leave. As soon as my 12 month sub dies, I'm gone. I've not logged in for months. STO = Poor Game.

    Depends on what you play the game to do.

    Since this game focuses on 5 man content as the complete extent of its larger group content ... the guild mentality of other MMOs doesn't always mesh well with this game. Fleets come and go. Because this game doesn't really have the infrastructure to support a gaming style based on large "guilds."
    Then another thing is there anything new. Like bridge's to starship design or a new starship it looks like another version of SOE's SWG - TCG system you pay for it if you want it especially if it's new :confused:

    Ship interiors are still in development. There's a forum called Engineering Reports. You can get the details on what's coming up soon from there.

    What do you define as content?
    Kill a few borg run a few mission's wind back up at Earth Dock & Hardly any one even PVPing... It's like where's the Klingon's ?....

    The klingons are cloaked. That's why you can't find them. They will wait until you're by yourself. And then appear and kill you. I tend to think you're better off not knowing where they are.
    Is there a special date or something when every one is playing ? lol.

    This weekend. Because it's free.

    Personally, I think it is.


    The interesting thing about pvp I have noticed is it depends on the time of day on if there is enough players.

    OP I'm going to tell you this to help you out.

    EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US ARE IDIOTS.

    use your own brain, and give it a try, it's free week end , and you have nothing to lose. if you want to keep on, well it comes down to 50 cents a day, so your not losing a ton of money. give it a try, or don't give it a try, just makes sure you do what you want to do, and not what others are saying.

    I started on Bloodfin with a medic after 2 day's. I almost quit but this was back during the Pre-CU way back before even mount's made the scene and 15 or so minutes was the standard wait for a shuttle. I didn't bother to read the guide the guide was well rather thick lol. To say the least I, was frusterated but i'm not known for reading manual's for a video game lol.

    I deleted that toon and started a new one on Tempest and played there till about the Mid CU and left for Bria cause of the declinning population. I soon left Bria after the NGE for Starsider about a year or so into it.

    Even after close to 7 or 8 year's of that game it just look's worse all the time but at least the PVP is open :).

    As for content every game has to have something for somebody to do. Open PVP seem's to be about the last thing to do unless I, wanna wait along time for the 5 team epic fight's for token's or badge's or whatever it is they give us O.O .

    I'd play MW2 but after 20 mins of that i'd get bored playing that too O.O .

    I went back and tried it recently, and I'm having a blast and subbed to it. It has made a huge turn around since it's launch.

    Cryptic/Atari apparently do not want people to play Klingon faction. Just play FvF for now.

    The game is not a AAA title even though it was supposed to be. If the sub rate were $9.95 a month I could see more people paying. At this point it would be acceptable to compare other well established MMOs since at this point its about people's money.

    I think you spelled it out here man, just run. EVE is going strong, Jumpgate Evo is coming and then there is TOR. Don't waste your time in this game anymore. They are already announcing a third title to completely obliterate. Marvel Online now has Lee Hammock (a genius designer) so CO is dead with that and DCO coming out. TOR will just blow this away.
