So, I thought I'd return, even though technically I've never left since I've got a lifetime subscription.
I've been wondering how things are now since season 1. I've tried reading other posts and what not, but I'd like to see how the players actually feel about the game right now.
I'm more likely to head with Klingons, I've still wanted to get into a carrier even when I played back in season one. Some info on the Klingon side of things would be nice.
Also, any news on if the Romulans are getting added and when? Would be interested in that as well. Guess I better read some info. If you guys would like to respond, please do. Trolls I guess will come but that's with any forum. Anyway, thanks for your time.
There's a lot of new stuff but at the same time not nearly enough stuff. Klingons still have almost no content and leveling them is a huge grind and pain. I don't know, there's not much to say. Romulans are probably still like a year off or more. I still only log in usually once a week for the episodes (sometimes more, sometimes much less). It's better than season 1 for sure but at the same time I'm left wondering when this will feel like a full MMO.
Season 3 and the Foundry might go leagues and bounds for fixing the content issue assuming the tool doesn't suck too much.
I see, well I'll continue the download then (lost it when I had to redo my hard drive). I havn't played in a long while so I think a bit of playing will be a good thing. I need to get a Klingon character made anyway, I kept deleting the one I had.
As someone who hadn't played since a month after release and returned a month ago, I would say GO CHECK IT OUT. So much as been added/changed I am having a huge amount of fun. The list of changes is too long to put here!
i dont agree with klingons having hardly no content but its still quite limited.
by tomorrow the klingons will have access to 22 story missions (some are high level ones) plus the starclusters, and 7 patrol style missions. so its certainly better than season 1. make sure to check out the series in orelius sector around level 10 and eta eridani about level 6.
UGC should be up soonish and there have been massive improvements to the carrier build.
lots of new ships and races have been added. feds have diplomatic missions and later first contact missions, ds9 has dabo, plus some other bits and pieces so id check it out.
Nice, I'll certainly check those out, first will be the Klingon side of course, then I'll see how the Federation side is. I've played a bit more on Federation for the first few months I was playing; this time around I want to get deeper into Klingon first.
Good to know they are adding more to that side, Klingons have really needed it.

Maybe I missed something...
Whate new story missions are the Klinks getting? When is this happenning?
Klingons are still neglected as before that hasn't changed and I doubt that it will ever change. We will always be behind feds like 100%. Whatever we get feds get it double or more the amount of content. On top of that the new fed players whatever they see new or they like it on the Klingon side they cry and want that same thing to be added to fed side and that is not helping Klinks. As the devs will almost always bow to Fed mob demands and that also hasn't changed since release.
Don't get me wrong Klinks got some content and we got new ships with this latest patch and we're getting crafting and some missions related to that. But it's not enough, so sure I'll take it but probably in a year or so will we have some more content that will be worth mentioning. Klingons are called PvP oriented but in reality we are neither, not PvP nor PvE. Klingons are FUBAR oriented and this is what we are.
When the devs add open PvP sector then I'll complement them until then I'm glad I have lifetime because it will probably take another year before I'd say cool, we have some storyline and more content etc. Until then Klingons are a joke and should have never been released that is until it was finished and ready. So with regard to the new faction give me a break! They must first finish Klingon faction to a vision of what it suppose to have been like PvP oriented on top of that with a decent PvE storyline. Then and only then should they ever contemplate on adding new faction. I mean do you want the same thing happening to the Romulans forget it.
PS. A good advice from a very, very, very patient Klingon player. Keep checking back that is all I can say. Give the Devs 12 more months give or take and then come back and try Klingon Faction.
But we have storyline...I just finished the last Klingon episode and it was AWESOME. Seriously, invading the Mars shipyards, defending Qo'nos from a huge demon assault, then going into So'vo'kor to fight them on their own turf, clearing out the barge of the dead and then battling the spirits of dishonor cowardice and treachery? Then running into a huge room to do battle with the head demon along side emperor Khaless and the somewhat twist ending? Credit where credit is due, I didn't include some episodes in there because of spoilers, short storyline maybe, sure. Weak storyline? Not at all. And certainly not "no storyline".
I agree PvP needs to be buffed up a lot, hopefully season 4 will do that, but for having nothing but PvP at launch Klingons have actually gotten a lot. Star cluster missions, the nebulae battles, a bunch of episodes that are way cooler than any fed episode, crafting, patrols, fleet actions, STFs and inclusion of the weekly missions. Certainly not as neglected as before.
They have added some new content but the game still has the same problems it did in S1 no real endgame. Around 4 STF's 2 PVP maps players use and badge grinding with explorer missions. A few daily quest and a new quest each week and thats about it.

At least do the Weekly Episodes. They're fun and give a limited time reward drop for finishing each series of weeklies. You've missed the reward for the 1st one but the 2nd one will payout this Saturday.

That is not storyline it is more like good weekly episode and yes it was nice short story but it's a drop in the bucket to what Fed players have.
Do you know my frustration with mindless grinding to level up playing Klingons. When the game was released I could level up doing PvP. PvP queues wait back then was about 5-15 minutes and still it was boring I did 100's of PvP matches and I'm sick and tired of the same old PvP maps. Now a day's I'm waiting an hour or more to do PvP and I'm been generous here.
Credit will be given if the Devs move their behinds and really create some game play for Klinks ASAP. Things are looking better but it's just darn too little and too slow. End of story.
PS. In addition, we've lost so many players and I had to go FED playing to survive and not to lose interest in STO.

Im excited now lol
no sorry let me clarify. i did not say new ones only they will have a total of 22 in game.
the final weekly is tomorrow
that means;
8 normal klingon missions from season 2
5 breen
5 devidian
4 borg/undine
plus the aid the deferi and devidian patrols.
there are also the 4 task forces and there will be 6 new repeatable patrol type missions for season 3 (which hopefully should be on tribble soon)
