First of all: I really liked how the background story grows with each episode. Something that I really missed in the early Fed-only missions.
I liked all the voice overs and loved the new maps. Seriously they are awesome. Especially the Flottila and the village.
The idea with the introduction of the first BOs gives the some kind of "personality" and "life" instead of beeing just a simple NPC. Something that I loved in other non-online RPGs. Good Job, Devs.
One thing that I really didn't like was the speed of the subtitles in the intro. I really couldn't follow them. Maybe you already changed this or added Voice Overs - so I don't know. Just my comment from 3 weeks ago.
I liked the romulan Bird of Prey. But I didn't get what this new singularity skill does. If there was an introduction during the tutorial I missed it.
When I visited the bridge there were some Federation NPCs sitting on the chairs.
Okay, I rerolled a new Romulan character and started over after the wipe. So here is some feedback.
Hakeev. It looks to me he has not the same voice as in the the FE Romulan episodes. He also made there a much more impressive performance. I cannot take the guy serious. Perhaps it is because you have already beaten him. On top of that when I shoot at his ship with my kitbashed boat his eye is hurt, Oh! my eye, he yells ... I dunno, I can't help laughing.
Veril. She really looks better and in general I like this version of the female Reman. There are however some dialogue windows with here old face.
I hadn't logged onto Tribble for last 3 weeks, and was expecting to resume with my Rommie. Didn't realize there was a wipe, so here I am starting again from scratch.
So I'm going through the beginning tutorial, and I see that the video choppiness during the initial space sequence was fixed. Awesome. Then, got to the flotilla, and the first cutscene is still showing the Romulan NPCs stuck waist-deep into the floor, trying to jump out of it. Pretty funny, but a glitch nonetheless.
I played in closed beta and have returned and splitting my time between a KDF and a new Rommy. I thought I would replay the Rommy to see what all had got changed and see if I could help one thing I noted so far was a slight Voice over and text difference.
Tutorial A Day in the Sun
Return to D'Vex with your findings.
VO:" That is what my captain..."
Text: "That is what my commander..."
Side note: love everything I have seen and glad to be a part of such a great MMO
Thank you!
Really love the LoR expansion.
I am listing some of the minor errors I have found to help improve.
1.) When you get the warbird and are shooting freighters for scrapped neutronium Tovan Kev (my bro) says something different from his text, HOWEVER his text reads "D'vex would be been happy to see his ship put to use"....or something to that effect, it flew by quick , but not quick enough for me to catch the language error.
2.) if you go to make an Off duty or Formal uniform you are missing body parts.
In Crateris, there is a minor exploit... You can beam down to the planet, get to the point of claiming the ground equipment, claim and equip, Beam out, Beam back down, rinse and repeat...
1) Some voiceover glitches of overlap during cutscenes or some that don't sound at all.
2) When the attack starts, your character uses a Federation tricorder to scan the wounded.
3) Tovan Khen shouldn't mouth anything when it says, "Want... you... Want...ship..."
When doing the survey mission on the planet that later becomes New Romulus, the scanning of radiation samples brings up the data sample mini-game and not the radiation scanning mini-game. This happened for every instance that I had to scan radiation.
I absolutely loved the Romulan tutorial, especially the voice over instructions. I don't know about the new KDF one yet, but I think this needs to be done for the Fed too.
The only issue I have is with the character creator and tailor. There needs to be more lighting on the character. I could hardly see any differences in the colors I was choosing for the uniforms.
So far, what I've seen is awesome. I'm looking forward to playing a Rom when LoR goes live.
Ok, this might be a hard one, often you see characters clutter up into each other. A lot of games have this as mostly the characters are not 'solid' and/or there is no collision detection.
I did see it seldom in STO, but I saw it sometimes in this new expansion. The tholians in the New Romulus mission and my character when inside a turbo lift (the mission where you check a starbase that turns out to be a Tal Shiar base).
Another thing. I went to New Romulus Command after I received the mission to visit the officer to get my Doffs and I could beam down to Embassy or Embassy. I think one is wrong and since I am not in a fleet, the Embassy option should be inactive.
BTW. I play with German language setting (Botschaft - Botschaft).
I played from start to allying with the KDF. Some of the things I noticed were
(my computer is not the best, but more than capable)
1) When creating my toon, I didn't see the random option, the symbol you used is not intuitive at all. I did find only because I looked and I knew there was suppose to be one, but new players might not. Use your tutorial to point that button out.
2) First battle scene done with your new ship was very slow and sluggish. Do to the background I think, kind of like pi canis is now when you defend it against the borg. Going to a darker background I think would fix this.
3) The missions are listed to the right side with an arrow that you can click to go to the next step in the series. This faulters when you are looking for your home world. The first area is just fine, but the last 2 areas you need to use the map instead (otherwise you go back to first area)
just start the romulan character when you go to the vines to repair the broken tubes "we manage to cross the vines even with a wire between the vines " i think that cross them is not very nice since we can see that they have wires holding them...
I just noticed the dual cannons you can choose from one of the missions only fires one blast, and when trying to draw a plasma rifle from one i bought on the flotilla is doesnt show up,and holsters your weapon. When testing the water while scouting the new romulan home world, the water glass doesnt appear while testing the water. Some of the animals continue to also charge you after their untargetable and a threat.
the visuals and voice acting are great, the combat is much better so far, there is some clipping issues but not a big problem. i see the mesh has been improved and can even see treads under the boot now. The bridge officers and npcs mouth movements are cool, very nice touch! The story so far is very involved and pulls you into in more then before. If you continue doing this, you will completely destroy Star Wars only advantage in their MMO (storylines) Keep up the good work cryptic ^^
edit: after you finish the kitomer missions part where the conference haas bombs to disarm and a Romluan to sacrafice, you are asked to beam out, but it asks you to beam back down again to finish, this starts the map all over again both space then ground part.
EDIT: When loading a saved costume, it loads a random one instead. (Using alien species)
EDIT: In Smash and Grab mission, after you access the computer on the 2nd ship and watch the cinematic, your bridge officers are moved to another part of the ship. Leaving you to fight alone.
[hi i think this new content is fun but i am not happy with the startup ship look realy bad why cant startup ships look good. Ok i must say i like the tetorial fun and easy i allso like the new hud and weapon systems is it just me or is the graphic better i dont know but i like the new game play verry much and i hope the romelans ships are avible too would love a war bird great game and keep the good job up
In the part where you escort the shuttle, i stopped talking to the Zden and destroyed my targets then talked to him so now the objective to destroy all warbirds is there....my bad
otherwise i am loving the story arc but i am confused if there are multiple paths you can take just based on text. Left me confused
also on the next mission, in the engineering section Hivan keeps falling down from the centre
Just an FYI, the station commander is "hostile" before the dialogue that reveals that he is working with the Tal Shiar. He should be listed as friendly before that.

I REALLY DO HOPE YOU PPL FIX THE DAM SERVER ISSUE BEFORE THE LAUNCH THIS TRIBBLE HAPPENS EVERYTIMEEEEEEEEEE YOU GUYS DO SOMETHING "EVERY SEASON UPDATE" YOU HAVEN'T MADE 1 YET THAT HAVEN'T HAD THE SERVERS CRASH!!!!!:mad::mad::mad::mad:
Before the crash today, I played through the Romulan tutorial with a couple of characters. I enjoyed it very much and (on Friday) had no problem with bugs of any kind. My only minor disappointment was that I could no longer access my existing Tribble characters or my Tribble fleet. I assume the reason for limiting Tribble to the new content is to lessen the overload on the system when (as happened today) everybody and their dog tried to get online at the same time. It also gives a more accurate Beta Test than if people were able to transfer equipment and personnel from their old characters to their new ones.
I hope the old Tribble content comes back once the Beta Test is over, but if it doesn't I won't mind too much because I spend almost all of my time on Holodeck anyway.
Once again, great job on the new content. I love it and I can't wait to open my Legacy Pack when the Romulans hit Holodeck.
dont know if anyone else mentioned this or not...seems to be A LOT of feed back which is great, BUT I noticed when I was on the Cardassian True Way Ship that is disabled and has its whole crew missing, the one in space surrounded by a radiation field and where you have to fight off other true way ships, you beam over with your captain and that Romulan guy you get as your first bridge officer to begin with (I played till LATE last night so I cant remember the name ) but they are having some cut scenes where they are discussing the video logs they found that show what happened to the crew. I dont know if its my video settings or not BUT some of the convo is text above the heads of the 2 characters and in most of that scene its not readable, its like it goes into letterbox format or something and you cant see the words they are cut off

That's it thus far.
Yes i got this also when i spoke with D'vek

Those are the only two I found. Just minor ones.
(Probably not the intended actions...)
New Romulus Command Center's Space Equipment vendor sells Phasers instead of Plasma.

I enjoyed the trial and thanks
Voiceover error:
D'Vex mentions "captain" instead of "commander" when saying the sentence "That's what my commander believed."
Voiceovers appearance is confusing. They appear in some scenes but not others.
Radar?

Oh yeah, thats true. I accidently shot him ^^'
