Content:

    • This is still a work in progress.

    • This is still a work in progress.
  • Resolved numerous graphical issues on the Kobali Adventure Zone.

Known Issues:
  • Some players are unable to Respec captains.
    • With the numerous changes with leveling from 50-60, some characters may be stuck in a state where their skills cannot be reset.
    • If this is occurring, please re-transfer your character from Holodeck to Tribble.
  • Cutscenes and VO are not in a final state.

    Don't worry about it. Take the weekend off and take a fresh stab at it next week
    Should I start posting again after all this time?

    We had at least one more patch before season 9 went live that removed most of the stuff that was still "work in progress." I think since not all of the VO is in the game yet, that will be part of the last patch that will become the version being shipped off to holodeck tuesday.

      Is this a hint at another upcoming limited time event like the one in March, or does this mean that it is being added as a normalized queue?

      Same here. I was at least expecting the rest of the missions so we could shake them down, unless there aren't any more missions in which case it seems to literally stop in a wierd place.

      And maybe they're not listing all the bug fixes they found, only the major ones and the minor ones are just being fixed, but there still are a ton of bugs I haven't seen fixes for, that I personally found, and that's just me.

      nah, 'dragon's deceit' is a perfect place to stop, since it's ending on a cliffhanger

      that keeps everyone in suspense for the next part

      Lol, the bug list is very very long, and the fact that they've kept Tribble locked down this long doesn't help. Prepare for another LoR type launch.

      Season 10.5 or 11 (Because I know they already have 10 ironed out) should finally be a bug squashing season. You guys put bugs into the game faster than you can squash them, and they've piled up sky high.

      Yeah I know. But a girl could hope that maybe... maybe... for once I'd be able to go and play an update or season and not have to worry about what's broke and how often the server was going to be brought down for patches and fixes.

      You know I think the devs could turn this into something fun though. Create a system where we can put in a guess, and only one guess, how many crashes and server drops there are in the week or two following DR's launch, and however gets closest gets 500 zen.

      that something like this happens with enough regularity that you could make a game around it is pretty sad, when you think about it

      I bet they'll have emergency patches Wednesday-Friday next week. Add to that the forum complaints about not being able to log in.

      The Kobali adventure zone will the the center of a LOT of bug reports, just like New Romulus was.

      At least the Voth battle zone, it was more a matter of leechers standing there and getting dil than bugs, but, to this day, one of the accolades requires trickery and multiple passes to get.

      My advice is, you should; it'll go easier that way

      Whether you like it or not, a broken fleet consultant doff is not a priority fix, on most any level. Saying that the lack of a fix is insulting isn't true, nor does it achieve anything that will speed up the fix

      If they had the ability to push back release dates this late, it would have already happened several times in the past - apparently for PWE, due dates are unmoveable, regardless of any issues

      Been playing STO since Open Beta, and have never regarded anything as worse than 'meh', if only due to personal standards.

      Well, I think we should just be grateful it's under investigation - plus if it's taking longer/is more complicated than expected, what can we do about it? They'll continue to work of course, but they cannae change laws of code work

      So no buffs to any kdf T5 ships like all those last week to the various fed ships? Figured maybe now that the ship sale is over it might happen to at least one ship like the Varanus since it was a clone of the D'Kyr...

      at this late stage it's pretty much locked in. so people have 2 choices.

      1. Adapt
      2. cry on the forums.

      Good players will get better, the bads will be spending more time typing than playing.

      My issue is basically is that people don't have to get better to do this. The mobs aren't any more challenging, they just take longer. Still don't require any skill to beat them, just time.

      I'd rather have a challenge where I had to get better then something where it was still point and shoot and go afk for 5 minutes and then come back when it's all done.

      I definitely agree! The players that have difficulties with the current elite level really need to try a little harder. There are so many cookie cutter builds out there they can pick from and it's not like STO is a hard game to learn the mechanics of. I didn't find any issues killing NPC's on Tribble with a T5 non-upgraded Ambassador beam boat, including Cooper's BioShip before being nerfed.

      I have no issue adapting to kill them faster. I have no issue with an increase in health of enemies. That is expected for a level cap increase. I didn't expect an increase of 3 to 4 times what it currently is. And only for 10 levels? I would expect that kind of an increase if we were working toward level 90.

      Thing is, though, our potential damage output is so far beyond 50 already...that an actual increase of 10 levels wouldn't cut it.

      I saw that in the "Known Issues" section, the note about the Deadly Intent module not working correctly with some weapons was not present... Does this mean that the bug is fixed and the fix was just omitted from the notes, or have they given up trying to fix it and are going silent and hoping that we all forget that they knew about the problem?

      I certainly hope it is not the latter.

      I hope it's the first, but my EC is on the second.
