Release the romulans

I think they should go ahead and release the romulan faction this would give LoR a whole month on tribble for player testing and feedback.

Sure it wouldnt be perfect and there would be bugs but thats what testing is for and given a whole month of testing by may 21st with player feedback alot of the bugs could be ironed out.

So why not just release the romulans on tribble let us players help you the development team work on this project let us be your guinea pigs :)

    No just no. . .

    And enough that us folks on holodeck don't get the new visuals yet it's all ruined with someone screen grabs so would rather have something left to get excited about pls

    Couldn't disagree more. With how big an update LoR is, it NEEDS to be tested, preferably for as long as possible.

    While hype is good, this big expansion does need a lot of testing.

    Getting it bug free is important. Neither Cryptic or the players want it buggy on launch.
    Let us wear Swimsuits on Foundry maps or bridges please! I would pay zen for that.

    If your that upset why not join us on tribble be on the fore front of testing

    And yes they should release the romulans on tribble there is a little over a month left before launch of LoR.
    And there really needs to be alot of testing on it before launch and get some of the bugs that will come with this big expansion resolved.

    So i really do hope cryptic releases LoR on tribble soon so we can get the testing started otherwise we can look forward to tons of issues on the holodeck later.

    Didn't they say that the first half of the NEW content will be up in Early May?


    Should be enough to get any new gameplay features associated with Romulans tested, since there will likely be a tutorial of sorts in there to let you learn to use the Singularity Cores and their special features.

    Now have you even been looking at the new SimCity game, that went out with only 10 days of Beta testing, and it is bugged, broken and terrible.:eek:

    Do you really want that happening with the Romulans and the new layout, I say let them put it up for testing so they can Iron out the inevitable bugs (It is still Cryptic we are talking about) :D:D

    I'm of two minds about this. Disclosure: I was in the FFXIV late alpha, closed beta, and open beta, so the well is truly poisoned as to the effectiveness of public betas.

    On the one hand, oh god yes test all the things. Test them to destruction. Users will break things coders don't even know could break.

    On the other, public testing of buggy beta product assumes that:
    A) the bugs will be fixed by launch;
    B) the blog posts about "oh god, all the beta bugs" don't kill any hype dead in the water.

    Which path do I have faith in Cryptic to pursue?

    No! Release the kraken!

    I think it's more a case that they have other stuff that they want tested than just the Romulan content. If they release the romulan content, the vast majority of 'testing' [ie the drive by tribble-visitors like myself] will be for that.

    Yeah, I suspect a lot of the updates will need intense testing before they give us Romulans to test.

    After all we've got the following to test:-
    New UI
    Warp cores
    New trait system

    I'd also include the new Rep, but I suspect that's connected to the Romulan content in some way.

    They did say that some players will get a chance to test the Romulans in closed beta, about a month from their release.

    I wonder how can you get into the closed beta.
    Let us wear Swimsuits on Foundry maps or bridges please! I would pay zen for that.

    Well let me put it in an automotive sense

    I can take a part from one car and test it make sure it works then take another part from a different car test it make sure it works.
    But when i bring those two parts together just because they work seperatly does not mean they will work together as a unit.

    If cryptic pieces this expansions testing out and does not test it as a whole unit then when it is released may 21st there is going to be alot of major issues with it.

    Yes, Krakens are awesome. :)

    Anyways, we need to wait for the devs to finish coding.

    I can't wait to test the Romulans, they could just release levels 1-10 for us to test and do it in sections unlocking more with each patch if the later stuff is not ready right now.

    I hope they finish coding soon because time is running out to give LoR a complete testing phase even though a month is hardly enough time it is all we have.
    But if they dont let us testers put LoR through its paces and just release AS IS LoR could be a complete disaster.

    I agree krakens are awesome :)

    They could but that would not be a good idea i would rather be able to test LoR from level 1-50 and give it a complete run through.
    That way we testers could compile a complete body of work as far as finding bugs breaking things the developers didnt think could be broken and general we llikes and we dont likes about LoR.
    I to am anxious to play as a romulan but im more eager to get a full on testing of LoR underway not just this half baked UI test thats going on.
    But we must wait till they are done coding and they make the decision to either let us test LoR on tribble or do a small scale beta test which wont find the majority of the problems with LoR.

    It will be on tribble when the devs decide its ready to put up for testing. It's not level specific. You can start a new character from scratch.

    Didn't they say pretty much from the beginning that this stuff will come out (roughly) 1 month in advance on Tribble?

    We are your loyal playing fans. We are doing what you have asked of us. Please reward us by releasing the Romulans for us to play. If you have ransom demands....let us know. Please... let us know something! This uber slow trickle feed is not satisfying us. :mad: This is the kind of information that should have been shared months ago not with ONLY one month pending open Holodeck release. Even if you release them for play today...like you would do that...right....what was I thinking? Even if you realeased them 2 weeks ago i do not think you could fix all the bugs in time for the given release date on holodeck.

    I'm betting they are released on Tribble this Friday or next Monday, that would give roughly 1 month to "test" the Romulans.
