Stoked radio is hosting an interview DEV. Al Geko Rivera today, you can view it at www.stokedradio.net or listen to it on www.trekradio.net the show will start at 11AM PST/ 7PM GMT.
CVN-65 U.S.S. Enterprise - A ship so badass it survived John McCain.
cause Al asked to come on the show and not the other way around
LOL. I remember when podcasts had to beg to get Cryptic Devs on their shows. I guess Al is so desperate to convice the players his lizard p**p don't stink. That his is banging on old STOked's door.
"Star Trek Online is powered by the most abundant resource in the galaxy . . . Gullibility"
Al would get a verbal smack down if he came here. He would actually be challenged on his lunacy and ego trip decision making process. So he would rather go to podcasts where they ask simple questions!
"With the first link, the chain is forged. The first speech censored, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains us all irrevocably."
But will he only answer the very easy questions and not the ones people really want to know answers to
Isn't that a given? He can't go into much detail at all for what isn't set in stone, becauyse if plans change, many players will out him for lying, even he says "this is our plan now, but it might not be come time for it to release".
Hell, it's probably even company policy. Smirk said it's the reason he can't say anything more than they give the greenlight for him to say either.

I love how completely deluded you are. I mean you're deranged enough to take the changes to Cryptic's game you don't like personally, and project actual malice and poor character on the Development team.
Don't get me wrong, there are several changes with 9.5 I don't like (and many I do like), but you seriously just need to go out and get some fresh air. You're kind of toxic to discussion here.

Well said, its the creepiness and delusional rage against the devs of some posters, I won't name names or anything, that drove me away. If you don't like the game, don't play it, but I wish people wouldn't fill the forums with so much spite and bile towards the devs. Don't get me wrong it fine to voice your displeasure with something, but keep it in prepective, and keep it respectful. And remember its just a game, earth is not at stake and if you all obsessive complusive about aquiring everything in game its not the devs fault.
I have watched a lot of STOed to find they dont ask the harder questions n if they did craptic would stop allowing its devs to go on. Some sites go as far as ignoring pkayer views to push the devs. Bloody kiss TRIBBLE people they seams to be more every year.
You're welcome to join the IRC chat channel during the show .
I doubt he would answer any hard questions, beyond "we will consider your feedback...".
We require someone with authority on this forum...now...so we can find a solution to a recent issue.
NO to ARC RIP KDF and PvP 2014-07-17 Season 9.5 - Death by Dev
Yep, I like one of his current comments which basically boils down to:
"Copy and Paste in MS Excel is hard.":eek:

Looking for a new fleet? Drop by the in-game chat channel, "tenforwardforum", and say hi to the members of A Fleet Called Ten Forward (Fed) and The Orion Pirates (KDF). If you already have a fleet you are happy with, please feel free to drop by our chat channel if you are looking for a friendly bunch of helpful people to socialize with.
And he expects 'mad props' for giving players 'free space' to hold all the new crafting materials.
Lol. When you add a ton of new essentially worthless items items that are only there to increase the grind/farm time required to the new/improved crafting system; if you didn't do that - no one would really use the new crafting system. of course I'm sure Al needed to be talked into that by an STO Dev that understands actual game design BETTER then Mr. Al Rivera; (which is probably anyone else on Cryptic's Dev staff at this point.)

My apologies, I've been enlightend by Mav from stokedradio and Mr. Rivera himself.
The whole game is just making money with people staying a few weeks and spend their ten bucks and then leave. That explains all the "make ist easy for the newbies"-stuff. Looks like many of us are here too long.
Mr. Rivera called all the critics in this forum about 9.5 "ranting" and couldn't find solid info. Okay, so let's stop sending feedback.
So you're a native speaker and I'm not. So what?:P

Thank you, STOked team, for conducting the podcast. That's about all I can say that's positive. The interview featured too many personal opinions/comments from the host to make this an objective interview. The host is not an employee of Cryptic/PWE, yet endeavored to speak to various subjects as though he were.
My biggest takeaway from this interview: CaptainGeko (Al Rivera) had some fantastic reasons for not addressing the DOff UI issues, as specific questions weren't being asked on the podcast.
It's understandable that STOked isn't going to read the STO forum posts on the air. STOked already solicited questions to be asked; I don't have any issue with that.
But it was incredulous to hear CaptainGeko's thoughts about the feedback on DOff UI complaints (among others).
Cryptic SOLICITED for feedback within their official STO forum on the DOff UI, Crafting, etc.
And SPECIFIC FEEDBACK was submitted freely by numerous players (aka testers)(aka customers).
SPECIFIC FEEDBACK, Mr. Rivera.
Maybe you and your team were handed a PRD and told, "here's the issue, come up with a solution." And in good (and typical) engineering fashion, the Dev team did. However, the product manager was inept in managing the end result -- and the beta test PROVED that.
Cryptic got SPECIFIC FEEDBACK. The feedback went largely ignored -- and a majority of players (aka customers) are not happy with the end result. Not based on "it sucks" comments, but substantial SPECIFIC FEEDBACK about the playability, usability and functionality of these new Season 9.5 additions.

Because we would rip him to pieces if he comes here. I don't like what es did to STO but he's not completley insane.

he also thought that dinosaurs with laz0rz was a good idea, so his thinking process is obviously flawed.

good post.
Lots of ships for the next expansion?
T6 ships confirmed. :P
I have too much respect for STOked to compare it to giving him a wiffle ball bat for their questions.
