    Is there any update on when the forum notification email system will be fixed?

    1) In some interviews we heard about lvl cap incresed to the amiral rank and yet we didn't seen anything about that in the Legacy of Romulus Revealed! So there is any chance we'll see it on the 21 may?

    2)You said in an interview that you want to orient the fleets to pvp. We'll see that in the 21 may? Or at least some pvp improvements in the 21 may patch? All we can observe now is a lot of role playing. Well, not of us want to do role playing.
    This new Legacy of Romulus Revealed! shows us that cryptic wants us to reroll and to play the game with more then one toon (if i want to enjoy the new faction i have to reroll 'cuz i can't transfer my main toon to the new faction or to the KDF faction if i want to explore the klingonian empire).
    Personally i play the game only with one toon 'cuz i want to be good with one and not bad/mediocre with 10. In this situation your big update is in most of it useless for people like me.

    3)There will be some balance on classes? Can we see in the near future more class roles in instances? At this point all that matters in pve is the dps and tactical officers and escorts have a big advantage.

    4) You said, in an interview, something about gear sockets and a new system of upgrading the ship. There will be such things in the 21 may patch?

    5) You said there will be big expansion! the biggest update that sto ever seen! where is that? a new faction when allready the KDF is unfinished is that biggest update? please tell us there is more then that!
    my post's number is higher than smirk's dps

    Will we finally see a return to a more normal leveling curve or will the rediculously fast levelling remain?

    Or would it be possible to provide an option for those of us that want to level slower and savor the levelling for example some games let u set experience gained to 25% of total etc.

    I for 1 would love to savour every moment of the new romulan faction, but am worried that i will be max rank within a week and this dosn't sit well with me and my wallet (and all potential romulan purchases from c-store :D)

    #3 Will Gold players have access to Romulan versions of their veteran awards when the update in May hits?

    #4 Are we getting a new sector for the Romulans to start out in or are they starting out at Rator III or New Romulus?

    #5 Is the Romulan faction going to have access to TNG style Romulan uniforms?

    #6 How many original Cryptic Romulan ships are we going to get with the faction?

    #7 How many Romulan specific missions are going to be for the Romulans?

    #8 Are the Hirogen going to be a Z-store item for the Romulan faction?

    If we equip both the Borg space set and Omega Adapted Borg Technology Set, could we get a special bonus of having the V'ger/vessel of Unimatrix sound effect everytime we warp into a system?

    A lot of people have played only as the three characters they're originally given slots for characters and have large amounts of unrefined dilithium. I have one friend who has over a years worth of ore to refine. So how about every once in a while like quarterly or trimesterly refining everyones dilithium without a diminishing return, no matter how much they have? A little extra reward for investing time into your game.

    Are there going to be more hair styles and ways to customise?
    the ones at the moment are so.... last century.... this is the 25th century... with the uniform code of 2389, allowing the use of any uniform, you think we can have slightly wilder hairstyles?

    the homepage of the site currently shows federation female and romulan remale officers with very wild wavy hairstlyes...

    can we get a few more addons to the character creator...a few more hairstyles for guys too... like.... the ones in other perfect world games... they are still tidy and i'm sure they'd come under the uniform code


    Please take time to think and look into this cryptic/perfect world
    Please

    Will we have the option to choose to join Sela, or the Tal'Shiar, or D'Tan? If not... why not? It seems to me that if I play a Romulan, I should be able to join the Tal'Shiar if I so choose.

    When will we have 3 way PvP?

    When will we have some sort of territory control PvP?

    What role will the Hirogen play in the Romulan storyline, and when will there be playable Hirogen? Sela made them important allies of the Romulan people.

    What will the 1000 day vet ship for Romulans look like?

    All basic Romulan ships will have the three variants, like KDF and Fed, right?

    Speaking of ship variants, when will the Chimera, Odyssey, Bortasqu', etc. get variants? I'm tired of being different only in color, but not in shape.

    We'll get a free respec when the new retrait thing rolls out, right?

    Will there be flashbacks to Romulus? It would be cool to have Romulus in game, even for one mission, or for the Foundry.

    Will Romulans have Thalaron mines as a ground power?

    Will the KDF have Targs as attack pets on the ground?

    Is Legacy of Romulus considered an expansion pack, season 8, or something else entirely? And is there going to be a new set of featured episodes revolving around it?
  • captainrevo1captainrevo1 Member Posts: 3,948 Arc User
    edited March 2013
    1) Will the foundry be available for the Romulan faction from the start, and will there be some new Romulan items in there?

    2) Will there be a Romulan Starbase/embassy/new holding from the start?

    1) Even after three years the KDF it is still not a fully developed faction like the Federation. With that in mind, what makes you think you can now handle full three factions in the game at once, all with their own 1-50 level content, unique assets, items, systems, and presumably bugs requiring attention?


    2) Will any of our current C-Store account unlocks, pre-order bonuses and Tribble test rewards work with the Romulan faction?


    3) How exactly do you plan on re-introducing existing content to fit the Romulan Faction? For example, the Reputation system, Feature Episodes, Fleet Actions, Duty Officers, Lock Boxes and such.


    4) Any new challenging endgame content to be expected in May...?

    - How will the inclusion of the Romulans be included in the PVP arenas ?
    Will it be 3 teams in a match or will you mix factions ?

    - Will the Romulan faction remain it's own faction post Level 50 , or will you have to choose to join the Feds or KDF once you've completed the Romulan levels ?

    - Will the players in the new Romulan faction be chasing Eppohs on New Romulus ? :D

    Now that the Romulans have been confirmed. What kind of timeline are we looking at for the roll out of new information on the new faction? Knowing when we will know things will be really helpful both for the individual and fleets for planning ahead.

    Will you be releasing new KDF Fleet Ships such as the awesome K'Tanco? I LOVED that ship's look.

    All right, here are my questions.

    1: Will Romulans be allowed to social hubs like DS9 and New Romulus?

    2: Will they be of D'Tan's faction?

    3: Will they be at war with the Federation or the Klingons ? (Hopefully not for Embassy's sake)

    4: Will they get access to Romulan and Omega reputation?

    5: Will there be an alien race available for the Romulan faction?


    Also, I want to say that I really like this update so far. I was pessimistic, but the developers outdid themselves.
    Let us wear Swimsuits on Foundry maps or bridges please! I would pay zen for that.
