The Village: Very, Very nice. Has some definite Neverwinter Feel to it. (The background theme, seems almost identical or very similar).
Love the old TOS BoP in the Background.l
Flotilla: I remember years ago it was intended we get our missions off the Enterprise-E and use that as a HUB, then was going to revive that idea for Omega Fleet. So was nice to see you revive that idea and actually do it for the Romulan Fleet on a D'Deridex. Though wish there was more "room" if you get my drift.
The Suliban Helix: Nice seeing it in person. And love the animation. Though I'm guessing they upgraded their cell ships? The ones on Enterprise were shuttle-pod size.
And not sure, but didn't it say the Helix is orbiting their homeworld? If so, why not add it?
Crateris: Really nice and dreary atmosphere. Though kept hearing thunder, but there no clouds in the sky.
Was shocked when I saw a Reman Female (who later joins your crew). And good ol Slamek........still can't shoot him. (I know, was before then. But I so wanted to).
The fight against that dreadnaught, was easy at first, but the second time it did that scan animation, it 1-shot me, so didn't really get that indication it was going to do that. So might want to make the animation more ominous.
Blues: It was eh okay, but more had that feeling of "go here, scan that" approach. Especially the ending.
New Romulus:
Space:
1) Didn't like the enemy poping up as soon as you dropped it. You would've saw them coming on sensors.
2) Noticed that Dewa III, later known as Mol'Rihan, doesn't have the same planet model as we have now.
Ground: Disappointed at the planet in having a snake path going left to right in an attempt to make the zone bigger. It was a massive disappointment in that respect. Would've prefered a free range world to explore.
The Tholians..........doesn't make sense why they were there before the new Capitial was established. Felt that aspect was really weak. Especially how we found the sword - in the stone.
Also felt the fight was a bit tough for my BOs as they don't find cover.
Turning Point:
Felt some doors shouldn't have been locked. Just felt unnecessary runaround.
Saw the Power Ranger HQ outside (the site of the Khitomer Conference, which I'm surprised wasn't the building we were holding the meeting in).
Why were the Tal'Shiar mingling near D'Tan?
Klingon Dialogue was okay, but I felt offended more by the Federation Dialogues. Sugihara just rambled, while T'Nae was acting.......not much like a Vulcan with her dialogue. I felt this took away from how canonical Starfleet would've handled things.
Why are we allowed to run around at a diplomatic conference ---- armed????
Why is nobody saying anything about us disarming bombs? I was half expecting to cause a diplomatic crisis in being caught disarming and accused of planting!
The End..........well was nice, but would've been nice if there was more to the scene than.........boom.
BTW, Dialogue Error. When we were contacted of ships in orbit, you guys said "found something on radar"........ RADAR?? I really don't think Romulans use "Radar". :rolleyes:
Neutral No More:
I thought that we didn't have to make the choice of alliance until Level 40???
Be nice if first-time Romulan players got to know what they are in for when choosing a side. The Explainations was outright abyssmal!
Last but not Least:
Where's the money?
From begginging to the decision, I only made 50 EC and 0 Dilithium. How are we to make a living???
Edit: Also, disabling the machine in the cave can only happen by one player at a time. I had to wait a while for the players there to clear before being able to use it.
That whole intro will be retimed to match the coming voice over. We put all the text in right now so you can at least get whats going on.
Keep the feedback coming!
Commander Ander here! We're all really excited to get this content into your hands after working on it for so long!
I'll be quietly (or sometimes not so quietly) lurking on the forums and reading your feedback for the starting Romulan experience.
Good luck, and have fun!
Some remarks to Virinat Ground:
Virinat Space:
Flottila:
to be continued...
in the race info for romulans in the creation screen, it said that they controlled a vast empire in the alpha quadrant. actually we have never seen any chart were they have held any of the alpha quadrant, just the beta quadrant. the sirius sector block, and everything east of it is actually, in the beta quadrant. the only part of the alpha quadrant you play in actually is in the cardasian territory.

Hope this helps.
Also hope OMP doesn't mind STO IPs accessing his site or this post might not help much lol
Have fun boys and girls.

Awesome! thank you so much mike! This will get looked at for sure.

Couple of glitches though.
I started with a female with the Survivor Romulan 1 costume.
On the character creator if you click on the advanced tab it shows four boxes. Only the first box does anything.
The default seems to be a scarf for collar. If I picked another face option the scarf disappeared. I had to go advanced options to change it back.
When you press the scan key it waves your hand- hand is empty.
after any cut scene, or zone change, the text box completely disappears.
When I was in the vineyard I didn't really see any vines. Just a little green stuff and shadow boxes, like I was on the edge of an object.
At the end of the first part of the tutorial I was supposed to meet Tovan Kher. But, I spent so much time exploring the awesomeness of the map that I'd forgotten where he was. There wasn't an arrow to point me back.
During the celebration cut scene all the NPCs were halfway through the ground. If there was supposed to be somebody at the podium I couldnt' see him.
When I got to pick up a new rifle I had to manually equip it. Unless I blasted through it too quick I didn't see any directions on how to equip. (kinda important for new players.)
During the Flight From Virinat cut scene- when you arrive at the D'Deridex- it seemed as if some of the characters did not appear over backgrounds. From the subtitles it looked like I was supposed to be watching a conversation, but all I saw was the background.
Just based on the first hour I'm excited and rethinking getting the Legacy Pack. Initially I wasn't planning on getting it. It's alot of money for one pack. But, if it's as sick as the rest of STOLoR then I think I can scrape up a few dollars.
Furthermore, it seems that the world detail setting will repeatedly default back to 100% even if you had set it higher earlier (after a map transition). This is something that is on live too.
I have found it very disconcerting that for as long as I have been playing STO, for all I have done in testing that I was not even contacted to do beta, but yet...I have many, many fleet members whom have been on Tribble ALL day today. I have been playing since a couple of months after launch and wonder what gives with no invite...didn't know exactly where it should go, but figured here was as good a place as any...so...do I get an invite or do I have to do something special since A good 8-10 people in my fleet have already been testing what I have been waiting for...
HOWEVER, you should make it so that people visiting their bridges, can't jump into the engine pit below the singularity containment vessel
they get stuck there and can't return to tactical view
My biggest gripe is somehow I missed getting a kit in the starter planet. Was one even offered there? I do not know and I haven't seen a kit as a quest reward so far. On the reman planet, the final boss, the mysterious ship threw me for a loop. It was really tedious trying to destroy that ship. Was there something special we had to do for it?
Other than those complaints, I liked my experience so far. I especially like how you get your Boffs.
