First off, kudos to whoever's baby this was! Well Done! Bravo!
I figured I'd wait on starting the Klingon missions until there were more of them (no sense getting drawn in and then abandoning the character after a little bit); but given the recent revelations I figured I might as well try a few and see what they were like.
Now, admittedly this is the first new mission I've tried, but all I can say is WOW! Not only did this have a nice Klingon flavor (a tear nearly came to my eye while my first officer openly wept that a filthy Romulan actually set foot on Qo'noS). But to be able to help out the House of Martok, epic!
Standing over my defeated opponent with the Klingons singing away in the background was just plain awesome. I raised my d'k Tahg in salute and basked in Worf's warm praise!
I even walked away with the first place Trophy. which looks very nice. Having the crew request it be proudly displayed was a really nice touch. There were headbutts and bloodwine all around I can tell you.
So, this is by the far the best mission I've played. All I can say is you haven't joined up with the KDF, you're missing out!

Now I'm in "The House Always Wins" (All Around the Mulberry Bush) mission which seems to be a counterpart to Bringing Down the House. I've destroyed all 3 satellites, two of the freighters. But I can't find the first freighter!
The area I'm supposed to search (looks like a mining base on an asteroid) is highlighted but there's is no freighter here. I'm gonna file a bug ticket.
sorry for the double post, stupid website.
in fact all the Klingon ones are excellent
Yes indeed.
@StarbasePrime
Wait till you stand in front of the gates of Gre´Thor......This is truely the best episode in the whole STO game. I pitty everyone who hasn´t created a klingon and played through this storyarc.
Bringing down the house doesn't complete and I have done it 8 times. Now, I just hate that episode.
Destiny doesn't work because i can't go through the doors in qu'nos.
I have had 2 bug reports and have been BEGGING for a solution for weeks and came up snake eyes.
Indeed it is the best episode in the entire game. If they can make more like that, i have no problem waiting for a few like that to show up at each season.
As one the posters here noted, they don't lead you around by the nose with the Klingon missions - I'm not sure I'd recommend the Klingon side to "kids". You have to really look around and use your noodle.
For example, when I first read the briefing I beamed down, ran out into the courtyard and could find neither transport nor anyone with a bubble over their head that would give me transport. I had so expected the usually lackluster fair to lead me by the nose that I was getting fairly frustrated by the time I finally found that it was a door, not "transport", that would get me to the low lands. It's the same with some of the exploration missions where scanning doesn't work - you have to use the map and think. I sort of like it (except for the bugs)! You get to see more of the worlds.
Well worth it. I hope those that worked on "Bringing Down the House" step out and take a bow - well deserved.
It was good.....I think it would have been great if they had enemies that scaled to your level...My klingon was already BG5 when this new content came out.
I suspect UGC will be the answer for Klingon Content, but its hard to say if the content created will all be targeted for the end-game. If so, Klingons might remain an exclusive group as most folks won't want to grind their way up to where they could do it. Klingon designers might get discouraged by how few people play their missions and switch to building Fed content.
That would be a shame, because a lot of people would miss-out on the coolness of Being Klingon. So, I'm sorting hoping for a good Klingon mix when UGC comes out. I'm definitely not going to be happy if I'm limited to the number of missions I can build (that might discourage me enough from building any).
Time will tell.
Mine was too, I was speaking more specifically about the story lines rather than that difficulty of the content. It would have been nice had it scaled, but it was still nice to play through it.
I spent 2 hours, yes I started at 11pm and went to bed exhausted at 1am LOOKING FOR the door
that gets to where I need to go to start the mission. After those 2 hours I still haven't found it.
Klingons at Q'nos were of no help, they just don't answer PM's sent in game.
Is there a kind soul that will offer a HINT at where I can find this door?, that is supposedly in the
courtyard area.
At this point I feel like I'm running around in circles, covering areas I've been in many times looking
for this damn door.
OK, figured it out. Warped out of sector, found what needed.
Go to the Courtyard (no duh, says so in the instructions which if you're like me you read about 30 times) and yes, this is the area with open sky over head (easy to doubt after searching for a long time).
Just as you first come out into the courtyard, where you want to go is directly ahead. Just cross all the way over. It's a door on the far wall. No markings, might not even look much like a door. But, if you get close enough there will be a little popup asking if you want to go to the lowlands.
Don't blame the other Klingons for not responding, most likely they never found the door. :eek:
I think I spent fifteen minutes or so lookingfor the transport then I said to myself "well there's a gate over there who knows"
I wonder if you can revisit the lowlands as a social area maybe go Targh hunting!
The misison completing when you place the trophy in the mess hall was a neat touch.
My only slight qualm was that the BO who commnted about a romulan setting foot on Qo'nos was a Gorn! oh well.
Mine was too, that just made it all the more touching... and they were an ally, not even a conquered race :eek:
1) I can't get the accolade and
2) Grain Silo's? Really? Alot of klingon farmers are there?
Much more enjoyable than most of the previous ones.
Loving how we finally get decent end rewards like the Feds have had since the beginning.
I pray to Kahless they keep them coming!
I definitively hope so as well! The area was just beautiful. Even though it felt just a little too "green" for the Klingon homeworld, the layout of the map and the design of the buildings was awesome. Loved it, and would like if it'd be made accessible again as a social area.
Heh, maybe they fixed that, too - at least I haven't seen a single Non-Klingon resident in the area.
And I just have to chime in: The episode is pure brilliance. Kudos!
Fast work, I only did the mission 6 days ago and there wasn't a beam down option then. Nice to know they're still fixing this sort of stuff. Definitely agree with the Kudos, there were just a lot of impressive things about it (and a lot of clever reuse of the Forcas starbase).
I wish the authors would stop by and take a bow.
I am not sure, but I think the option was available from sector space around Q'uonos. Might not be in orbit of the planet.
Played taking out the Mars base last night (second star to the left). Lot's more eye-candy and very pretty - but, for some reason it didn't have the same appeal as Bringing Down the House for me. Not sure why, but it felt like it was missing something (Mars?). The reward was way cool though! Don't get me wrong, it was still a fun mission over all and better than any of the Federation patrol missions and on par with the special Federation missions (e.g., Guardian).
IIRC,
The first one was near me when I warped in.
The 2nd one was out in the open on the left side of the comm thingy you had to disable (about 10km away from it)
The third one was behind a bunch of rocks after disabling the comm thingy.
my issue has been resolved now
So far, Bringing down the House has been the most fun, but then he's also not high enough (I think, could be I just haven't found them) to be eligible for the other Klingon missions (e.g., Gates of Gre'thor).
Please either fix it so we can go back to the lowlands, or alter the mission text to say Hail Lady Sirella to complete.
Still, it was a nice opportunity to indulge in some truly glorious Bat'leth combat. And despite the wipes I would never want to miss out on the ground bits. The landscape and the story were just too awesome. I usually don't like being put in the role of "that one hero", but the Barge of the Dead and the Gates of Gre'thor were just epic moments. I half-expected to see some ancestor of my character on the Barge - Cryptic really missed out on this; allowing some ancestor to redeem himself in battle against the Fek'ihri would have added a lot to the mission. On the other hand this would only make sense for Klingon characters, so whilst this might be easy to include I don't think if the game is actually capable of making a difference there.
And yes! Turn the Lowlands into a Social Area or something. That area is just too beautiful to be left unused after the mission.
