I'm loving what I am seeing in the release notes. I do have 1 question.
I did not see anything said about fixing the Mouse Over Option if you are trying to target yourself as being fixed. There are also some other issues regarding the Save UI option not actually saving the settings nor the Apply option actually applying any UI settings that have been changed.
I have sent in bug reports concerning this, but have not received any responses. I am hoping that these problems have been corrected with the UI changes and that this is simply an oversight when the Notes were posted. It's not major, but I, as well as many others out there do have multiple characters and it is a major time saver when not having to manually set the keybinds, targeting options, etc. for each new char we create.

On tribble, i've noticed that choosing my "free Camera" control option doesnt revert back to "follow Target " like it does on holodeck at the moment, but i have noticed that at least one extremely graphics active mission does have a tendency to cause my weapons sound to go mute and stay that way tll i restart the game..
I'm sorry, I know you need to put in the download and all that, but many of us took the day off and have people coming over so we can all work together on this and you are taking half the day away!
As it is, due to your 6 hours shard maintenance you are only giving us maybe 2 hours to download and play! I know this is a big expansion, but come on!!! You may be delivering something special, but your timing has just ruined my one and only day off this week. So very upset about this.:mad:

General rule of mmos Never take the daye off on a big release
According to the patch notes, Emergency Powr abilities' durations are now uniformly 20 seconds. This was an early version of the abilitiy change - later they changed that to 30 seconds on Tribble. Is this an error in the patch notes, or has the dev team changed their mind on this and gone back to the original change?
If you read through this thread, you'll find that this has already been brought up and that BranFlakes is looking into it...

At the moment, it seems that this is probably a typo and the patch notes will be corrected.

2pm it will come down over here, plus 6 hours, a hour before bed and deep into european prime time... so much cosmic's comment about defending the downtime.
hopefully the american prime time is hit just as hard with a server crash so it equals out, that way i have nothing to complain about.
anyway, may put in that hour and maybe 2 when the server comes back up, but i would really be looking towards the 22nd realistically. Need to get back on the game and finish up now.
Yeppers, I couldn't agree more. Surely they could have done this at a time like, 2 am in america or something, just for something large like this...

Yep, couldn't agree more with all that's said here as well...
I must say, though I do look forward to playing the Romulan Faction, I don't like some of the other changes that has been said in the Release notes...
Why change things when things are great the way they are? I think the best advice is "if it ain't broke, don't fix it", Let's just hope that the changes to Everything, doesn't make the game that I luv, lose it's place as the Top F2P online game...
And I also hope it doesn't make the game more annoying.
Adding a new faction is cool, but changing everything else, I don't understand the Logic behind that.
For example, I don't like the sound of having to pick all the skills and traits for all my characters again..... and the character creation doesn't sound too good either...
Yet we shall see...
*sigh* This old man doesn't like change. But I do respect STO , and I hope to good ol God that the changes they've made, are good.
I didn't like it when the reputation system came in... yet once I got my old mind understanding how to use it, it didn't become so bad, (though I still prefer the old ways best).

Phew scared me when reading. I could live with a 20 second duration, if the shared cooldown is also 20 so two powers still result in (nearly) always on, and a global of 10 allowing two types of chains. A forced 10 second gap irregardless though? Not fun.
How they are on Tribble now is how they will go live tomorrow -- so it sounds like a typo, but I will verify before updating.
Cheers,

Only thing I'm worried about right now is if that bug still exists that deletes all the gear on a KDF toon. I know I was quoted that it wouldn't happen but a lot of things that are said to not ever happen are not always written in stone :P
The only let down is the 6 hr down time. For us here in the EU the timing is far from ideal.
I know you try to aim for when the least ammount of players are on, but you are cutting heavily into EU prime time with this one.
If my timezone fu has not failed me entierly, and it often does, the servers will not be back up until 21:00 CET or 20:00 CET. Not sure wich it is, but it pretty much rules out EU players being able to enjoy LoR until tomorrow, since the DL speeds will most likely be moving at a snails pace. And let's hope there won't be any server crashes/outages, but the odds of that happening is high...
But apart from that, happy to see LoR go live, but your timing could use some adjustment for such a big update.
Oh well, nothing that can be done about it now, so wel'll see how it goes in the end I suppose...
Slowly counting down till it is here, and then watching as the servers crash and burn and Cryptic will say something like "we didn't expect it to be this popular"........
maybe next content patch there will be an overhaul of the crafting system, so it's actually useful and not more expensive then buying the exact same item from the dilithium store

How is it more expensive to craft a Mk XI Very Rare quantum torpedo than to buy one from the dil store? Dil store: 22k. Crafting: 15x uncommon unreplicatable, 23x common unreplicatable, 30 purple data samples, 2 trace samples. That's 15.23k, or 12.19k if you only craft during the event. And generally speaking, if it's craftable, it's not in the dil store.
I just uncovered a plot by the Tal'Shiar and Emperes Sela to crash the holodeck at 12:15 PST! This will requier3 additinal hours of maintinace! This will also bring down Neverwinter!
Enjoy the down time curtosy The Romulan Star Empire! Evil laugh

they're starting the update at 6am their time, that probably means they're in the office by 5am, it seems early enough for me
UK here, so yeah i'll see a big chunk of my sto day gone, but i doubt playage tonight will be much good anyway, this of course, won't stop me from trying

Ah well, see you all on Thursday. Tuesday is all but gone when the servers come back up and Wednesday, the servers will mostly be down due to Cryptic's inability to keep a server going when busy.....
Slowly counting down till it is here, and then watching as the servers crash and burn and Cryptic will say something like "we didn't expect it to be this popular"........
seriously I bet this is what will happen sadly
Sadly ... Yes ... I expect the servers will crash under the load .... People will complain about the lag specifically in the Romulan tutorial and early missions. ... And we will have emergency maintenance.

You know it's free, right? You'll get it tomorrow during the update no matter what.
This character is why I don't play my Romulan any more. Tovan Khev is NOT my BFF! Get him off my bridge!

I had this when I first signed up on Tribble, I cleared it by going to spacedock, selecting a different starship, and then reselecting my old one.
