I just read that they are going to put thumbnail pics for the hover boards . Too bad I already spent the 1,000 favors on the non creamsicle colored "creamsicle" board. Would have been nice if someone thought of it sooner. So stupid.

The OP's attitude is insane. Cryptic made a mistake by not giving thumbnails at first, and is taking a step to fix that. Criticizing them for fixing it is dumb; They simply can't win with your logic, because if they HADN'T added the thumbnail you'd still be criticizing them for not having one.

If only we had a test server to iron out such things before they went live. Oh, wait... we do. :rolleyes:
Quoting part of someone's post out of context is silly. :rolleyes:

Well, its curious because that is what they do all the time. They do things in half-measure and later they fix em (well, sometimes.. hmm, once in a while..). And people thanks cryptic to fix those things.. they think cryptic is doing em a favor when its not, they are doing just their job. Something they should ve done since the beginning.
But this repeats along all the mini fixes cryptic does about everything. People thanks em to fix things that should not be broken in the first place lol.
I mean, if you going to say this to the op, you should say it to everybody that thanks cryptic for anything...
Are you aware not everybody has acces to tribble, right?? seriously, always the same story.. and its not the first time i see you talking about the tribble server.. tribble server is useless anyways, so its not really an option.
He is not criticizing them for fixing it, he is criticizing them for not having done it to begin with.

Borwn-nose much? The complaint isn't about the fix, it's about the "developmentally challenged" need for a fix to something that was so flipping obvious in the first place.
Comprehension is OP, plz nerf. :rolleyes:
Not entirely true. I thanked Cryptic some months back for the 2 free ship slots. That wasn't thanking them for doing their job - that was thanking them for something that saved me zen. I'll thank them now for making the grind for the Risa ships alt-friendly, and more engaging than sitting around and counting boxes - that is a step in the right direction.
Other things that deserve some thanks are the daily mark bonus, increasing Romulan ground marks, and bumping up the Fleet Marks rewarded for Officer of the Watch. Things like this make it less punishing for people to choose non-violent ways of getting marks from time to time, instead of running the same missions over and over.
Sometimes they fix mistakes or bugs, and I see your point. But they deserve positive feedback for things that are genuine improvements. In the case of the thumbnails on the boards, there was apparently no winning, because the oversight of having the thumbnails was a fact, whether we like it or not. Either they correct the oversight - and apparently get a bunch of sarcasm as a result, or leave the oversight - and most likely get a "see, cryptic doesn't listen to us and fix things" thread.
So I'll chime in sincerely - I'm thankful this oversight was corrected. I have not yet bought an Enhanced or Superior board, and this improvement will make my choice easier. Not everyone rushed out to buy the latest shinies right away, so this helps those of us who haven't yet.
With all seriousness as well, this oversight wasn't entirely game breaking for most people (other than those buying boards on day 1 or 2). If you saw a board you liked, there was nothing stopping from asking people which one it was. Also, nothing preventing asking in zone if anyone knew the colours for "x board". I know zone isn't the most helpful place, but SOMEONE probably would have answered. It's an MMO, some level of interaction with other players is expected.
This is what I coin, #STOlogic. An absolute lack of any kind of logic regarding STO.

I agree 100%
First, I don't care if not everyone has access to Tribble. I do.
IMO to make the best use of tribble the new stuff would have to be going live about 6 months (minimum) prior to its release on holodeck.
I have reported issues on tribble that cause crash to desktop EVERYTIME you try to load the content. Responses were the standard "We are aware of this, but since only a handful are effected we will keep our eyes on it." type of response. Then when it goes live on holodeck and lots of people are then effected that's when the problem gets attention and fixed.
At this point I dont even bother with tribble as I see it as nothing but a way for Players to preview the new content. It has nothing to do with actually helping eliminate bugs, or issues.

Takes like 5 minutes, seriously.
And this is the reason i am not going to keep reading your post. You care only about things that affect yourself lol (and its the same on every post you write... ) , so why would anyone keep reading anything you will say?? lol.. seriously.

I am one of those that picked the wrong board and dislike the look of my board. I wish there was a way to trade the boards to the "look" you prefer or allowing customization perhaps?
Or simply give a label to the examples shown on that room so you can see which one you want to buy in GL size.
Why will i use a server that is completely useless?? the purpose of tribble is to test bugs and tell cryptic what bugs they need to fix. If that is completely useless.. why will i waste time testing things on tribble??
People need to realize that tribble is a non existent server. And thats it. Forget about it. And stop making references to it. Its proven millions of times that WE ARE the beta testers, not the tribble server.
You have no idea what you're on about.
While the fix is certainly a strict improvement over what we had before, the delay of implementation reduces it from being valuable to simply being novel. Gratitude is not called for.
As the seventy-fourth Rule of Acquisition clearly states, knowledge equals profit. And I am a very rich Ferengi.
Yeah, because you have more idea than me.. lol. If you think tribble is useful.. maybe you are playing in a tribble server of a different game..
You're completely right...
I made you read my post!
Putting down other players is a sure sign you got nothing substantive to talk about.
Happy?
1) There is little incentive for people to go over to Tribble. The only reasons why you would even bother going there is either to test "experimental gear" or to gain the 1-hour reward each time a new season is being tested.
2) Cryptic doesn't update Tribble with the same diligence as Holodeck. This is Cryptic's fault - a lot of bugs we see ingame wouldn't be released to Holodeck if Cryptic had bothered to update Tribble first - and if there were enough interested players to go over there and test it out.
3) Unless you find your own fleet on Tribble, your Holodeck fleet doesn't transfer over - meaning you can't test fleet items that you don't already have with you.
Tribble would function properly if:
1) Players had full access to all gear, including lockbox items and rare items. It doesn't matter anyway, since Holodeck is unaffected. This would allow players to test builds and ships without buying them on Holodeck. Once the player logs off, all experimental gear is removed. (alternatively, maybe a "Tribble Test Weekend" event, where all gear is unlockable only for a certain weekend)
2) Cryptic placed updates on Tribble first before releasing to Holodeck.
