    Haven't been able to log in to STO's website since about 6pm GMT, until now (9.12pm GMT). Pretty pointless attempting to go on Tribble with its ~700 odd queue. :rolleyes:

    i ran across a 900 player queue yesterday around 4pm bst, it took about 20 minutes to clear, watched some ToS at the time so all good.

    So any word on if they will extend it a day because of the connection and other issues?

    Would love to post feedback but..... with a que of over 500, I have NOT been able to login once. Even after waiting for over an hour the que for me doesn't go down or up, just sits there forever for some reason.

    The only thing I can say is that the new login screen looks nifty:rolleyes:

    Odd. I've been logged in all of 17 minutes right now and have gone from 519 to 197. I assume I'll be in sometime in the next 15 minutes.
    STO is about my Liberated Borg Federation Captain with his Breen 1st Officer, Jem'Hadar Tactical Officer, Liberated Borg Engineering Officer, Android Ops Officer, Photonic Science Officer, Gorn Science Officer, and Reman Medical Officer jumping into their Jem'Hadar Carrier and flying off to do missions for the new Romulan Empire. But for some players allowing a T5 Connie to be used breaks the canon in the game.

    Since when do we get full severs on Tribble?! Ive been testing since before season 7 and never experienced that. Is it a bug or is it really that full? Also, about this surprise for serious testers on the closed beta, well I've had problems posting bugs, ive even done it in the forums a few times because I couldn't do them on line please tell me this surprise won't be based on that!

    Just started the beta (only just heard about it due to college coursework deadlines and all that jazz).

    Currently sat in 31843 out of 31843 :cool:


    EDIT.
    As I posted that, it jumped to 1 and then logged in xD

    Just wanted to say, I LOVE the changes and direction being taken with the expansion... really feels a lot closer to true star trek (still a little too much combat... but at least now there's a lot more interesting story and intrigue/etc. to go with it). Love the Romulan story and gameplay.

    Guess I just got lucky, the que was only 6 and it only took like 30 seconds to login this time! The new soundtrack is a welcome refresh as Star Trek Online just keeps repeating the same 3 tracks over and over and over and over and over and over (get the hint?)

    The new cinematics are slick! Love those new effects! The only strange thing that I have encountered so far is that when it looks like someone is speaking, sometimes there is voice, sometimes there is not. Would be nice if when their lips are moving you could hear the characters instead of just subtitles on the bottom of the screen.

    Other than that, I really like the way that this game is shaping up!

    Keep up the awesome work.:cool:

    To all those that get greatly discouraged by the Queue, ignore it...Everytime I try logging into Tribble i get queue'd anywhere from 100-1000 at first, then within 1-2mins it goes up to like 1500-25000, then within another 1-2mins its like 1-10, then within 1 min im in.

    Login for me takes from 3-10mins max, so just wait patiently alt+tab and read Facebook, Twitter or some news magazine or hell forums. Chill, relax and you'll get in.

    The only mistake I noticed during the Beta Test was when the tutorial voice over was given on the cloak they said that it has a cloak etc etc and during battle you cant cloak, you need to get out of red alert to cloak. Its a battle cloak which allows cloaking at your risk during battle. so I think this is a PhoPha.

    Other than that I am impressed with the Romulan storyline so far.

    Nice Work:D

    I'd sure like to try the open beta. However, I've been bogged down by endless patch downloading all day. I had things to do yesterday so waiting all day wasn't an option. If I don't get the download finished by midnight, I'm going to have to throw in the towel and forget about whatever the reward turns out to be.

    On the bright side, I won't have to wait forever to test any future betas on tribble.

    It would be nice if the devs extended the deadline for whatever the reward is.

    Exactly. Not to mention, weekend traffic, plus beta test weekend traffic. Things should chill out significantly by tomorrow, I'd only expect queues during peak time once the test weekend is over.

    thats a known bug within the queue system. should add your voice to the growing list on the tribble forums.

    Having played closed beta and open beta, I greatly like the voice over work that has been added. The Romulan faction, from what I have seen so far, promises to be a very interesting story arc to go through.

    Ok so first thoughts... I admit I was on the fence about the Legacy Pack before this test weekend. I felt it was too expensive and I doubted I'd be spending the extra money. Now, having said that... I probably spent over 6 hours playing on Tribble testing the new content... and I am delighted.

    I had a few rough spots... lag... mysteriously freaking out maps... things that once I logged on the following day seemed ok, so maybe it was my PC, not sure... but overall came away impressed enough that I bought the Legacy pack and won't go back to play on Tribble again until after the release so I have a few suprises left.

    I really like the way the Romulans are being fleshed out. Cool storyline and nicely tying in elements from previous stories and characters and giving them more background, making things tie together in a cohesvive storyline across the board. Congrats to the team. I look forward to playing on release. Now... please keep the servers up :) Sorry, had to say it.

    Thank you for the opportunity to take part in the open beta testing. When I first logged in and saw the queue I was afraid I would never make it but after 3 minutes I was in. And I like it. The Colony is beautiful done. The new Character creation screen is... OK. I don't know but maybe to much green all over the place. I like the voice overs which add a little bit more life to the game. The missions are short and sweet and I really had to stop myself after app. 7 hours to not to spoil myself to much.

    thats me done for good, i cant do any more testing, i thought i ran out of time yesterday. anyway, 8 hours left of open beta and thats it. almost made it sub-adm II but hardly anyone is doing any end of game content so i couldnt test the stf content as a romulan playable.

    I played for an hour or so up to the point where you get the Reman boff. Everything looks great so far, I didn't notice any bugs. I won't test any more as I want to leave it for when I make my real character.

    Hi

    I played a lot of hour doing new missions.

    I found some mistakes.

    1- There is a misi?n that is imposible to finish if you play as a engineer. After stop a self destruction, the misi?n stops and you can finish it (there is a post in the f?rum).

    2- There is a mistake in our skill bar. Science team and enginering team, has a new icon to identify them. But if you deploy the skill list to move this habilitty to the skill bar, the icones in this list are the old one.

    3- In space combat, a lot of times, you can destroy enemy ships but the shields of this ships are allways at 100%. Maybe a visual error.


    4- Sometimes, when you try to pick something, the key "F", doesn't work. You must use the mouse.

    5- "Romulan Flotilla". I kwon that flotilla is used in Englis, but its origin is the spanish language. Maybe someday, you can translate the rest of this great game :D:D

    I'll continue playing

    Bye

    i wondered what it would of been like to have someone like nevala on the trip (the romulan female colony security chief). i liked her initial opening on virinat, lots of strength and a firey attitude. would of made a great tac officer especially later on when you may need an extra tac besides khev if you plan on flying something escort like.

    There are no options to transfer character to the tribble server

    only option available is redshirt.

    will someone please give me info as to why we cannot copy character to the tribble server.

    i have not been able to do so in last 5 days of trying.

    Select the redshirt option. Once all the files are copied over, you should have server options Holodeck, Tribble (test) and Redshirt upon login. At least, that is what worked for me.

    Ok, question in regards to the Open Beta and Tribble Test Weekend:

    Since the test weekend is coming to a "dramatic" close, I was wondering if Open beta will now be switched BACK to its closed Beta status (in which case, those that were not invited could lose access to their Romulan characters), or was this test weekend merely a reward event in which at its conclusion, we just lose access to the reward and LoR in Tribble will remain in its open-beta state for the duration of time to May 21st? Any Devs able to answer this for me? I have been asking it on Tribble via the local channel (no access to the zone chat due to it giving me a message that I have a "new account") but everyone ignored me! :(

    i have both servers and on login screen i have all options for the servers.

    the tribble server is updated with LoR, but the redshirt has original server like we are playing now, and still have no options for transferring my character to the tribble server. So how are we supposed to be able to get a reward to our holodeck server if we cannot get our holodeck info to the tribble server and play for an hour for the reward?

    i see that raax has posted that the option has been disabled for the tribble transfer.

    thanks raax for the info.

    But why tell people to get charater onto tribble server to get reward if there is no possible way to do so?:confused:

    Got leveled up to 32. Stopped at "The Vault" after 2 days of playing. Minor probs that have already been documented on forum. The self- destuct button not ending and such. Played as Rom Eng Fed. Ship selection was nice. Can't wait till Go-Live.

    Transfering characters is currently disabled on Tribble. You can't transfer a character over there right now.

    As for logging on. Assuming you have signed up for Tribble access correctly (I am sorry, but it has been so long since I had to do that I can't help you with that) to the immediate right of the area that says "Live (Holodeck) there should be a button that said something like "Test (Tribble)". If you click that, it should start patching.
    Well, after I did all this and it didn't work. I came back 3 hours later, hit the launcher, and then, there at the bottom of the launcher, I all of the sudden could pick shards. Don't know if it had something to do with it saying it would take aprox. 2 hours for my char to get transfered to Redshirt (that was the only one I could pick), and then once that was done, the shards became visible for my account on launcher. That's just me guessing, cause I know it was there first. Even have a screenshot of it without it. But I got in, and all is well, and Romulans rock. ;)
