Where Do You Think STO is Headed?

hyefather · June 2014

Are you optimistic or worried? Somedays, I just don't know what to think.

This just isn't a Brain TRIBBLE. I think about this TRIBBLE and heres why. I like MMOs set in space. To have one Star Trek themed is even better. If sto died my options a preaty limited. Theres not any more star trek mmos out there to play right now. Maybe in a few years but thats a few years.
Alot of my concern comes from the forums. Within every Thread is a doom post. Whats sad is alot of times these people rightly justify themselves. It sure is depressing. Why can't people just be optomistic for once. If I want to depress myself I can just look at my weeding photos.

I think STO is headed down the same path that SWG went down

complete with the john smedley playbook...i see the signs

I really hope i am wrong

kestrellius · June 2014

I think the game is improving. Very slowly, but improving nonetheless. I see signs here and there. New adventure zones, certain persistent mechanics like battlezones, the rep system alterations...Oh, and renewed focus on the Undine. That's always good, tying up plot threads.

It's going the same place a sine wave goes. Following the same course as a yo-yo. For every great FE, there's a Crafting Revamp to counter it.

I Think we will see a lvl cap increase in the next 3 "season" updates

As far as story goes...
I think we are going to see more "Star Trek: Voyager" based stories and eventually we will be fighting the Iconians directly.

Now personally, with all the stories covered thus far, I have one pressing question to ask the story team since the Iconians are the ultimate "bad guys"...

With everything that is going on between the servitor races vs Starfleet/KDF/Romulan

WHAT IS THE DOMINION UP TO? I just want to know...

it'l be around for a lot longer with the improvements being made and systems to constrain power-creep.
rather than with the self destructive continual power-ups all the "waawaawaa get out of my 1 player game" demanded by the toxin tots.

their finally getting around to making mmo content instead of single player rpg content shou-horned into an mmo. this is most definatly a good thing for perpetual games even if a lot of players cant tell the difference between what can work in an mmo, and what can only work in single player & serialised rpg's.

Won't you be surprised when all those "single players" who have migrated here over the years pack up and leave...and aren't replced by the forced groupers who have hundreds of other MMOs to choose from. And lets face it, for forced group content it's done better in most of them.

what the **** are you whining about?

the people who want the rpg trinity are the ones that want forced groups since the rpg trinity classes are designed to be interdependent. meaning, if you want the silly trinity you would be forced to make all the content in this game teamed to comply with that system.

if those player leave, GOOD!
they are ignorant and a direct thret to mmo sustainability. their constant demands for infinate levelling & perks with ever increasing stats is nothing but an unchecked positive loop that destroyes games content & forces systemic failures.

that short-sightedness is only possible in serialised games that reset your characters stats every year with a new release because left unchecked all you are doing is putting infinte growth in a system with finite tolerances.

he dont want his precious extremely casual game to be like other mmos he wants the game to cater him and ppl like him and QQ any time raids or anything like that is brought up

Well if they manage to address some of the feedback in relation to the crafting system and other things the community throws up that clearly need attention at some stage then things should be good.

Needless to say the list of changes needed is quite large like being able to fly your ship in all 4 dimentions and upgrading the graphics engine to something from this century where those of us with highend systems will finally be able to use the advanced texture rendering along with HD textures which this game diserves. The ability to turn off engine trails since I don't need them to see how fast am going etc plus they never had them in the shows or the movies lol. Better colour choices for combadges would be nice.

These are just some of the things which need to be addressed assuming these things make it on to the table in the future for the game should be bright and maybe I will play more often than I do at the moment.

Am liking quite alot of the changes they have made so far like the revamp of ESD has a nice JJ Abrahams feel and I know not everyone is a fan but hey am open minded and thoroughly enjoyed the last movie

. If this game can compete with the competition will no doubt be coming this year like that new mmo simply Called Star Trek which according to the info sounds like an attempt to bring Armada onto that platform, if it can withstand that onslought then I see no problems down the road and long into season 10 etc. Maybe by that point we will finally get our Maco uniforms and weapons from the Enterprise series

..... well I can dream lol.

And it just burns you guys up that I will loudly oppose your attempts to turn this into a copy of every other MMO. You hate that the devs hear opinions that contradict your "moar raids" BS.

You might want to reread what I wrote...

jbmonroe · June 2014

Don't know. Don't care. All I want to do is fly around, shoot things, and make them blow up. I don't even care if they take a long time to blow up--in fact, the longer it takes, the more I like it.

capnmanx · June 2014

Beats me.

I used to think the only way was up; but I'm not so sure anymore. Don't think I'll have a clear idea of where this is going until I've seen what X2 is bringing.

ovinspace · June 2014

The thing probably go round and round until a new game gets the Trek license, old players that have heavily invested in getting stuff will dip in and out and cryptic have tried to make the experience for a new player better. I suppose its possible that PWE simply pull the plug at some point without allowing fans the chance to run the game.

To me it doesn't feel like a role playing game, more that my captains have slightly different abilities with the same gear, right now I have a tac, sci and eng all in T'Varos. The only other MMO I've played is the star wars one, in there it feels much more like each character is a character rather than a different skin with slightly different skills.

Nah. Instead, we're going to go all "Do unto others" about it and take your behavior as the way you want to be treated.

Henceforth, I will tell you what you believe, and what you have to say about it is irrelevant. :P

What goes around comes around, right?

the game won't die, unless CBS forces cryptic to pull the plug, i'm pretty sure they'll keep it around for as long as they can(as in ,still making profit, which considering how folks throw money at this game, its unlikely to happen anytime soon).

this seems like a doom thread in disguise.

And it was true. CBS/Paramount Pictures created ST:Ent and they chose to cancel the show when it stopped being profitable.

So... You're basically agreeing with phoenicius. :rolleyes:

how many lockbox you think going to sell when they become all cryptic made ship canon ship are getting to the slim picking
