    just like sto to celebrate its birth day with more crashes and boring missions that you have to play 3 times to get all the stuff and a 30 day long grind

    i so love having to grind it makes my day




    STO maybe one time u could just thank us for sitting through all the patches and crashes by not making us grind how about u just give us the ship

    All in favor of playable Undine?

    I dont. If i fly with an undine ship, i want their special abilities and weapons. And so far, i didnt see any undine weapon in the game.

    For example, the multi vector - storm burst (yeah the one that makes the borg cubes to break apart like glass in 1 single shot. xD). U know, when 4 undine ships work together (voyager).

    So, if im not going to feel that power, fxxxk the undine lol.

    The server hamsters name must be "Dead Jim"

    There is a 'Dead Jim' accolade in the 'Temporal Ambassador' episode. You come across a corpse in the maintenance tunnels and when you check on it you get the accolade.

    I come home from spending about 4 hours driving in ice and snow, making me VERY glad that I learned to drive in Michigan, only to find that STO is down.

    Well, I guess, in order to kill time, I'll either work on my Gundam Seed/Star Trek fan fiction, play Mobile Suit Gundam Crossfire on the Playstation 3, and/or Dynasty Warriors Gundam 3 on the Xbox360.

    you know what i find hillarious yeah i wanna play , i wanna play really bad buy everyone u do realise sto is just a game right..........

    oh yeah i forgot most of us who play this have no life . so sto is life.

    i wonder if i posted this question how many of you would say yes.

    if sto worked 100 percent of the time and if you could just touch the screen and suddenly become your sto charcter. would you.

    STO is life? Are you Jem'Hadar? O.o

    SO, a player who just paid a lifetime sub, will have more rights than you, correct? since he is supporting the game more than you do, right?
    ^ Correct


    And, what the hell make you think that people who pays a sub is wasting more money that someone that doesnt pay any sub?? Someone who buy zen every month, even if he is not paying any sub, supports cryptic more than you do. So YOUR point is invalid.
    ^ Been here since Beta, always paid a subscription


    Honestly, i dont get people who pays a monthly sub. Thats stupid and sorry if someone feels ofended. But if you want to support cryptic, just buy zen every month and you got it. But paying a monthly sub??? seriously, i dont get it.
    ^3 month sub actually. Your not getting it is no excuse for leeching, zen or no zen.:D

    This is seriously bad. I bet they get some negative response from PWE, they are missing alot of income. Alot of players probably think TRIBBLE it, im done with this and the new lockbox.


    Seriously guys, even LoR launch was more stable. I cant believe for such a relatively short update, such amount of downtime is needed.

    My god.

    Incompetent to say the least.

    No. All I'm saying is that, even though we play a game set in the 25th century, we are dealing with 21st century technology. That means there will be server downtime, errors, bugs, repeated patching and -- perhaps most important to remember -- long stretches of monotony punctuated by moments of hair-pulling frustration.

    Voth happens. Learn to live with it.

    Yes but cryptic isn't the ONLY developer/corporate entity providing online services using this level of technology. Their poor trackrecord is pretty atypical (at least for what I've been playing and when I've been playing it) especially for contemporary MMO's and other gaming services. It's a particular problem with their setup, not a fact of life.

    Star Trek Online: The Fourth Anniversary
      Junk combat pet
    • Junk ship (Lt. Cmdr. level)
    • Unimaginative "daily anniversary event mission" that's just the stupid Christmas eggshell game
    • New ship with stats that are no better than any other ship, and frankly worse than any ship any of my characters would fly
    • Server Down and Game Unaccessible for hours on end
    • New mission featuring Tim Russ that nobody can play due to server failure

    STO's Epic Fourth Anniversary perfectly summed up in a minute and two seconds:

    Well, I guess Cryptic reached a whole new level of fail. The servers are broken for 5 hours and it isn't even a full season launch.

    Pretty sure there's no point in waiting anymore today, so good night y'all.

    This has absolutely nothing to do with your post. I'm just a little ADHD :P

    The pic of the revamped galaxy you use shows it firing a phaser from the starboard nacell pylon, this is correct. However, it is firing from the inside of the pylon, whereas the galaxy class has a phaser array on the outer edge of the pylon. The inner ones are near the aft torpedo launcher.

    :D

    I've always understood that something like 90% of all computer malfunctions were User Error. So working with that as a model and seeing a that Gold Members are eager to claim they have a more vested interest in the game....

    What did you GOLD members do this time to TRIBBLE up the game?

    People need to stop crying about it. Content updates do this. You all know this. Be patient. It will be up by tomorrow probably, then all will be well. And I don't see any need for cryptic to compensate us. I'm a lifer, and I demand nothing. When I want it, I buy it. Cryptic will not give anyone something to give you and unfair advantage over others. Grind it out like everyone else.

    amen, could not have said it better myself

    Leech_(computing)‎

    In computing and specifically Internet, a leech is one who benefits, usually deliberately, from others' information or effort but does not offer anything in return, ...


    So as long as they are buying zen, subscriptions, or contributing in the forums or game with info helpful to others your use of the word is invalid.
