So we have 3 content pushes this year.
8.5, 9, and what I assume will be season 10 or expansion 2.
Yes there will be repeatable events (Xmas/ risa) but I am talking about story progression.
S8.5 is out next week.
Exp2 will be out end of year (let's say dec).
S9 will be out "early 2014 " so let's say end of May.
Looking at last year, we the biggest content push since launch which was exp 1 (new faction) and s8 (which was a technical milestone but small number of actual stuff to do).
But exp2 will not include a new faction (But I am betting a level increase).
What I am saying is, just by sheer weight of numbers it looks like (if they keep to this schedule and no new faction), a really awesome year for an already 4 year old game.
Question: is it real? Is this a dream? Has my brain froze in the Canadian winter and this isn't really happening?

Should I start posting again after all this time?

No, I've read it too, and it seems too good to be true, last time we saw this type of content promise was probably the first stab at Feature episodes, which lasted all of five months.
Still, I've got my fingers crossed, I need an excuse to play more often and this could be it!
If it is true than it all seems rather ethereal
Two different teams unless you want kestral to sit down and try to fix the faw bug
More people does not mean quicker bug fixes. In coding it usually means more bugs
Never assume until you get the official word. Recently two threads were closed down for untruths. One being the so called storyline for the 4th anniversay, even though the truth had already been revealed, and second (only a day or so ago a thread was created with images of the supposedly anniversary ships. So until you actually get the blog to read from branflakes content info should be deemed untrue.
So interviews and forum postings by Devs are lies? Alright.
Errr no I said until you get the news official from blogs and branflakes you should not believe what is deemed to be true.
So if gecko says there is an expansion coming this year don't believe him until a dev blog that says it.
I am confused. Should I not listen to any interview? What is the point of the interview?
Geko announced it in an interview which was put into a blog so therefore is true. If I said in a thread I have just heard that the whole cast of Voyager will be doing a feature episode each to be released in September, that is untrue.
Geko did not say when the expansion was to be released so if in a thread by someone not officially associated with STO that the expansion will be out on such n such a date you should not believe it.
What I'm saying is unless it is information given by someone officially associated with STO deem it to be untrue.
It was announced in the review of the year if I remember correctly. Coming end of the year.
They later said it won't be a faction.
And always remember: plans are subject to change
Cheers,

You, put out blogs about Undine, now.
Please?

Sorry, it was clearly stated in this thread that this isn't true until it's in a dev blog.
Hint hint.
Sounds exciting! Just please, for the love of Star Trek V's starship coveting god, please no more alien non-faction ships! ESD looks like it's constantly under occupation with all the enemy ships flying around it.
Of course plans are subject to change.
The only issue is when they do change and nobody from cryptic says anything and leave the hundreds of "what happened to..." threads ignored.
I do not believe there are many people who are upset when a 12 month plan diverts.
It was a in a blog.
Nope, it was in a "reflections," letter, which as already pointed out didn't meet the requirements laid out by the poster I referenced.

Isn't a season meant to be a year in itself?
No. A season is the term for a large update that isn't an expansion. Seasons are generally a couple of months.
"Coffee: the finest organic suspension ever devised. It's got me through the worst of the last three years. I beat the Borg with it."
Hey, that blog being called "Reflections" doesn't hint at a Mirror Universe revamp/push, does it? They seem like one of the rougher parts of the game, having only really been updated with the addition of Jupiter costumes and Terran combadges, if memory serves.
I'd LOVE Klingon-Cardassian Alliance costumes in the C-SWtore or Lobi store. (That would be an Overseer version of the Bajoran uniform like Overseer Odo and with the battle harness worn by Mirror Bajorans, Intendant uniform like Intendant Kira, Regent's uniform like the Klingon variant Regent Worf had, and Cardassian.)
You know, I'd love to see some of those uniforms and also deal some more with the mirror universe in general has well
I feel bug fixes are improving/moving in the right direction. There is certainly increased communication on that front.
I think a lot of people just don't really understand how terrible a company Atari was. I've seen they way they screwed other partners. It was a bad time for the game, but the game has really flourished since it was removed from Atari.
So until we see it in-game...just assume it's fake. That way, when Cryptic &#%@s up, as they always do, it's no disappointment or surprise. And if it DOES happen, we're all pleasantly surprised.
I like the idea of .5's That's what they should be, Quality of life stuff. So far they did a good job of monetizing the improvements without TRIBBLE everyone over. I know I'll be buying load out slots.
This is how it's done, this looks like it will tun out excellent and I hope it does. Quality of Life improvements can be hard to justify on a schedule when you are running a F2P game. You can't just have a bunch of devs working on stuff that will generate zero revenue.
I hope the 8.5 is a great success and will prompt further quality of life improvements in more .5 seasons.
