Its less than a month until season 3 is scheduled to go live, and the Foundry(which happens to be the main feature of Season 3) is apparently so bugged that it cant even be put on the test server Tribble(according Darren_Kilter, a closed beta tester in a now edited post). I've got a bad feeling about this :(

    Season 3 does not launch till December, so take a deep breath relax and go back to the game.

    Bugs are a given. Bugs so serious it cant even be put on Tribble is another matter entirely.

    The closed and open beta of STO was also hilariously short and they wen't from mostly unplayable with hardly anything in it to the STO we knew at launch in that short time (insert lack-of-content joke here) and there isn't as much to test in UGC than in the pre-launch game.

    I find a major flaw in your statement The main feature part it was said it would come out in season 3 not a main part of it, season 3 goes all the way to season 4. so there is plenty of time.

    they have said it will go to tribble and then live when its ready. so they are not expecting this to go live december 2nd with season 3, as they have said several times so its not less than a month. its a minimum of a month but it could be two months or more if it takes that much time to get it right.

    If you check Dstahls' posts about the Foundry over the last couple weeks you'll see that the plan for some time is to hopefully have open beta by the release of Season 3. The Foundry is not been expected to be out of beta by Season 3 nor fully functional at that time.

    Correct. However, it seems some people(in this very thread) dont understand the part I highlighted above and think Season 3 is supposed to launch without the Foundry, and that it is just going to be added some time in the future. That very well may happen, but it isnt the plan.

    Yea I love how season 3 which was said to be major bug fixing and little things has gone to a major update with the foundry and life altering stuff.

    "DOOM'S WORD IS LAW!" Seriously, with all the doom-posts we really need the Fantastic 4 on the board. Maybe we could hire a few look-alikes from Champions Online? :D

    As far as I remember nothing was ever tested on Tribble first, everything is tested internally before being put there. It's tested so the worst bugs are exterminated before it ruins the public test server. Sorry, but I don't see the problem.

    I would rather have it right and in the future than a buggie piece of TRIBBLE in season 3, also like I said season 3 goes all the way to season 4 and just because it doesn't launch on the first day doesn't mean it cant be added later during season 3.

    There was another tread about this where things were CLEARLY explained for you. Yet you start a doom thread about something that none of us know anything about. I wonder what you are trying to accomplish here...

    Now if only you knew what you were talking about, then I'd be worried... on so many different levels.

    It always happens they can't get everything into a season they would like too.

    I remember them saying when they started talking about season three it would be more about bug fixes. I don't ever remember reading that season three was about UGC. I think I read they would like to have it ready around season three but they didn't know if they could get it in.

    I could be wrong, but didn't someone on the Dev team mention that the Foundry wouldn't be released with Season 3 but sometime after? I think it was DStahl who said it but I could be wrong.

    There can never be enough bugs. If they seem to stagnate in potency, invent more. That is the world we live in.

    Maybe some day bugs can be put up there with death and taxes. ;)
