    Okay, I'll be the one to say it.

    As much as I love Dorn, a good director makes or breaks a performance. Most, if not all of Dorn's dialogue is straight up flat. If you hadn't been so busy fangirling over him, you might have caught it and actually given him direction...motivation...feeling, something!

    I'm actually against the voice overs in game. Most of them are just atrocious. Micheal Dorn, Leonard Nimoy, Zachary Quinto, and Chase Masterson are the only real talents you've had. All other voice-overs are either: a no talent hack who left trek because she didn't like how one dimensional her character was, only to come back begging for work after finding nothing but TRIBBLE roles and devs trying to out-ham Shatner. AND SUCCEEDING. Please, less VOs. At least until you can get more Trek talent and a decent voice director. I'd suggest Andrea Romano, but I doubt she's in you're pay-grade.

    Oh, God, have you been to Winter Wonderland? The recipe dude is a living capslock. QISTHEMOSTWONDERFULBEINGIHAVEEVERKNOOOOWN!!!!111!!!!oneone

    not to mention that irritating romulan making Apple comercial!!

    While I'm not majorly bothered with MD's work, I am very very happy to see Cryptic being pro-KDF! The Mogh being (re)-released for endgame, and an event to nudge players into finally trying the Klink faction if they haven't already is a really good idea!

    Well done!

    inorite

    It's almost as if they actually want people to play KDF so maybe they can justify doing more to improve them with numbers.

    But that's crazy talk, everyone knows the devs hate the KDF. Right?

    Good. Grief.

    A top-of-the line new Battlecruiser. Revised Raider mechanics that are, near as anything, KDF-only. Extra Dorn VOs. And a free BoP for new alts.

    Any one of these things, you could write off as a pacifier to the KDF Grognards. But all together and all at once? This is actually looking quite positive. Perhaps PWE's marketers feel the KDF is the most under-exploited element of the game after eight months of Romulan saturation. Anyway it's all good!

    As of a recent patch, there are bits and pieces here and there, but the only VO at S8 launch from Mr. Dorn was Sphere of Influence. The complete VO for the other Klingon content he is in is scheduled to go live this week.

    Cheers,

    Brandon =/\=

    Um then something went wrong ;)

    Dorn voiceovers for the tutorial and beginning missions, right through to his congratulating you for leveling up, are already in game....

    Was pretty cool to have Worf say "Congratulations Captain" :D

    I'm still in Sto-vo-Kor over this. PWE really went all-out on this.

    New battlecruiser that gives our warriors back their teeth? BoPs with fangs? Free C-store BoP for alts? WORF FREAKING VOICE WORK?!?!?!?!?!

    Yeah, I may spend a little more time in Sto-vo-Kor, because this is just awesome. Finally, the warriors of the Empire can compete with the Avenger-class!

    Sorry...can't...resist...urge to...mock:

    Waaaah! No love for Feds? It's been aggggggeeees since we've had anything nice! You'd better not be doing anything for any other faction in game, no matter how popular it is! Devs/God/Santa obviously hate Fed players, if you give KDF players anything that should be Fed only (like spaceships) I'll rage quit STO soooo hard!

    Now, all I need to do is copy/paste this comment in every thread, everyday for the next three years and maybe I'll convince the other factions and the Devs to give me more stuff...

    /sarcasm

    See how annoying that could get? ;)

    On a serious note, anything that puts a smile on a fellow STO players' face is a good thing. Just because some players have zero interest in playing another faction doesn't mean they should complain when a different playerbase gets some attention.

    Enjoy ya new stuff, guys & girls. Peace.

    DUDE! YES! Thank you Devs! This is awesome, and this is much appreciated time spent on the KDF. I'm seeing nit-pickers already, but I for one thank you for the hard work! Here's to further properity for all three factions!

    Wait, Branflakes, Geko, we're doing this wrong. I thought we were supposed to hate the KDF?

    I'm so confused!

    Such is the Romulan way. To lull KDF players into false sense of security.

    A few new introductory missions, some new VO, a new ship to make them happy for awhile, and then a year of silence with no bugfixing and no other unique content. Because nobody's playing the KDF faction so it's not worth the time and effort, right?

    Speaking of KDF bugs, what's the status of the Marauding boff customization bug that's been reported two years ago?

    On a serious note, it's nice to finally see something KDF-specific. Let's just hope this won't be a one-time thing...

    JJ Trek The Kelvin Timeline is just Trek and it's fully canon... get over it. But I still prefer TAR.

    Probably not a good idea to troll the playerbase of the faction that has had the least effort from you guys at Cryptic. :rolleyes:

    Might I suggest that you quit while you are behind...... ;)

    On a serious note, why did you troll? Honestly the KDF is the least loved Cryptic faction..... :(

    Helmsman get us within 3 Kellicams of the Aft section of that Taco, prepare to drop cloak

    Tactical prepare a Full Spread of the "Taco Sauce Transphasic Torpedoes Mk XII" set "Guacamole-Dip Disruptors" to full power, ready the "Corona and Lime mines"

    Science officer prepare to Jam their sensors and unleash the black ball of doom

    See what happens when you don't keep in touch with your union rep :P

    and they were giving him directions over skype while he was reading lines...? erm...I wouldn't exactly call that a shining beacon of professionalism, or a good idea for that matter

    though it does explain a few things

    If you want an example of how this works with Skype, you should check this video the voice actor of Captain Shon made:

    Doesn't seem bad at all.
