I can't even get to my romulan. Any time I try to enter the game with him I get stuck on the loading screen.
But my Fed and KDF works fine.

Does this mean the queue is fixed? I never managed to get on yesterday. I got too discouraged after waiting for several hours, and only managing to go down a few thousand. By my estimate, it would have taken between 4-6 hours to log on at certain points yesterday. I love STO, but I won't be playing if that's the kind of wait time I can expect.

akaar2 · May 2013

Well, it's live for most people not me. Still can't even log into holodeck. Still crashes during the 'Cryptic' screen.

There is still tribble but I can't access my legacy pack I purchased there.

I don't think Branflakes could ever promise that the queue is fixed, but after the maintenance last night, I and the rest of my fleet of who was around at the time, AFAIK, had no queue when logging in and performance was great.

But maybe 20,000 people, which was the queue size before the maintenance, thought the same thing you did, I dunno!

By removing the Fleet marks from the missions on Nukara.
Is there any way to get those ammount of fleet marks from those missions back.

earlier they have increased the fleet marks for the Fleet Starbase projects to finish for Small Fleets.

I was using to go there to collect the fleet marks .

And The purple Tholian epquipment boxes need very rare items inside not uncommon drops inside, or put possible bonus amount Fleet marks, nukara marks in those boxes.
Thats way to sell those boxes on the exchange for EC.

The purple boxes are now basic worthless with the removing of the crystal EV suit.

Or if thats not changed Than remove the 20 hour timer from the Hards Intern and extern missions.

daveyny · May 2013

It's been a lot of fun, despite the setbacks...

Thanks for this new addition.

:cool:

toiva · May 2013

This really is a nice video. Much better on second viewing, though.

Really looking forward to starting my Rom toons next week. Should be quieter and less buggy. In the meantime, have fun in the queues.

maxuis · May 2013

I have the complete other side to this problem my fed toon is stuck on a loading screen when I wraped to sector space

thore187 · May 2013

After playing my way through lvl 10 last night I must say; Bravo! Nicely done indeed!

So polished (expected launch bugs aside) and your best storytelling to date. I also absolutely love the Romulan art style and architecture. I can not wait to play again this evening.

My only negative would be that now the Romulans are definitely the new "star of the show" instead of the FEDS. I foresee much loneliness ahead for my FED VA.

Congratulations on a job well done!

lordhavelock · May 2013

I've been busy myself in RL, so haven't got on much since it actually went live 05/21, but I've managed a few hours of play. I've done some new Nukara rep stuff on my existing toons, and have leveled my Reman toon to L6.

Yes, there have been bugs/issues, but just speedbumps, nothing too unexpected. The Devs appear to be taking good care to get things fixed ASAP, and/or have already fixed things.

Having a great time in RoL. Thanks!

milen93 · May 2013

Hello! Im so happy that LoR is live! But I don't have the free char slot. When F2P launched i started with 3 char slots, and I bought 2 more.

lordgabe · May 2013

Great expansion, loving it so far. Keep up the good work and pleased to see the flaming 10 years olds have gone into hiding or are just playing the game they so like to moan about. Honestly it wasn't a perfect launch even considering the buggy first day this is a good launch for an mmo and i've palyed a damn lot over the years to draw comparisons

redx6004 · May 2013

Hey Branflakes, I'm loving this update. With all the bugs you guys are having its kinda hard. But i just waited till they were all fixed and now its really nice. Oh and the mission where you have to defend new Romulus from the lachi. Well I just gotta say... That's its to hard for one person to do. When the dreadnoughts come in you cant win... there's way to many to take on. You would have to be on a team of 5 to even pass it. You should put only 2 dreadnoughts, 3 battleships, and 1 command ship. In stead of 20 dreadnoughts, 40 battleships and 2 command ships! I mean honestly is way to hard and way to many ships. Thank you for reading this far.. I would really love to be able to pass the mission rewards are nice

bobbydazlers · May 2013

i think with the addition of the legacy expansion star trek online should be reclassified as a gammorpg - giganticly awsome massively multiplayer online role playing game.
and if you bring out a forth faction as i have heard in the wind that is on the cards you may need to be reclassified again as a smgammorpg - stupendecly mindboggleing giganticly awsome massively multiplayer online role playing game.

nierion · May 2013

Good expansion, despite the server issues.

If you ever plan on adding another faction though, I think you guys seriously need to think about stepping away from keeping this as a 2 faction game. It would seem completely stupid if you were to add the dominion and have a silly story that makes them ally with FED or KDF.

I say this, because it's been said many times that this game is going to stay 2 faction. It's not going to work if you start adding Jem'Hadar, Cardassians and other factions to play as. If your concerned about PVP problems, just fix your PVP to accommodate this. I'm sure many PVP players would love to see a revamp in that area.

Anyway, aside from that. Job well done on LoR!

darkcrowred · May 2013

I realize that you guys are going to have problems with a new program like this. But really, I feel that you didn't put out enough notice to everyone, and then the bugs at the moment like customizing ships cost zen, even though you haven't done anything. Being unable to delete exchange mail. I wouldn't really mind at this point if you had to close for 2 days or even a week!! It seems like (as was pointed out to me) that your spending more time keeping the game stable then actually fixing the bugs. Everytime I submit a ticket, it says there is a high volume. SO that should just tell you something. The bugs that are effecting the Zen, has made it so that I will NOT buy any cards, or spend any money till you fix it. I'm sure I'm not the only one. So I think your losing money just by the bugs alone. Again I realize that you won't be able to fix the bugs unless you know what they are, and the only way to know what they are is to go live. But now that you do know, you should close down for a while, and work on those that you know for sure are costing you. Well anyway thats just my opinion. I'm sure others disagree, or even perhaps have better ideas. But I guess its just a way to vent. Either way, I love STO, its a great game. But I would love to work on my foundry mission. Which has been something that NO ONE has been able to work on.

knochengeiger · May 2013

LOR is now live... i have to laugh every time i see that announcement. It is very very dead!

Im getting to the point that am not logging in anymore - and i used to play daily before this incredible slap in every user's face got released. But right now it pisses me off so much that i don't even get mad anymore. I am about done with this game, and i LOVED it. And what i've seen from the new content it looks like it could have been amazing.

BUT it is nothing but bugs, serverprobs, bugs, lags, bugs, downtimes, bugs, emergency mantainence and MORE bugs. And no, nothing gets fixed which is the topping of this impertinence.

Cryptic needs to realize that the game will not survive this for much longer. They better shut this down for a week and friggin fix everything or just put everything in the trashcan, where it belongs in the current status, because ppl are getting seriously repulsed.

What a waste of Star Trek license. Star Trek has not deserved something like Cryptic.
I rather watch a DVD. That is more interactive at the moment.

jamesandnatalie · June 2013

I don't know if it's just me or if I missed something, but I have NO access to Foundry. None. The button is grayed out and my Foundry character is GONE. I don't know what happened, but I do know LoR is to blame.

When I think about everything we've been through together,

maybe it's not the destination that matters, maybe it's the journey,

and if that journey takes a little longer,

so we can do something we all believe in,

I can't think of any place I'd rather be or any people I'd rather be with.
