1. I can not level up to 60, just by following the storyline, i need to do pve queues to continue with the storyline.
2. Bugs like the bride on Kobali prime.
3. The Video sequence in "Borg Disconnected" is pointless and very annoying
4. Did they run out of time to create proper content or why do we have to do so many patrol missions?
5. The last part of "The Last Stand" (set charges at the chemicals) is impossible to do alone, because the Vaadwaur respawn to quick.
There is more but just these are enough to be to frustrated to continue.

Solution: Go to Tau Dewa system. Set your difficulty to Elite. Power grind.
I'd say the rage in here is... between Jar jar and wesley.
Not everyone is a professional grinder some people actually want to play for fun yes the F word Fun not everyone is a hardcore player some of us are causal players.
you might like to power grind but myself and others do not.
This is the worst update cryptic has done yet though, so the rage is understandable.
bombad trouble for sure :P
I too am frustrated with this. This takes me back to the days of the initial launch of the game. There wasnt enough content to get you ranked up so they forced patrol missions on you. They were grindy and obnoxious.
Now Im forced to stop what Im doing in the Delta Quadrant and go do dailies in the Tau Dewa Sector, Deferi and Neutral Zone just to finish up one level.
This is the worst update since the last worst update
Over use a word to much, and it loses it's meaning.
Except DR is terrible and it is accurate to call it the worst. Ok, maybe not the worst ever ... but it is among the worst. 1 space STF ... handful of grindy missions ... incredibly boring spam fest trying to take down millions of HP. Has to be the laziest and most cynical attempt by a dev to increase difficulty and raise cash.

kobali prime being well done and epic? check
there are flaws, such as the diificulty of advanced missions, BUT overall this expansion is a roaring success in my book
2 space STF, 1 ground STF, 17 missions, 2 quadrants. 4 VO actors, 2 brand new systems, a new rep , a new adventure zone, level cap raise, intel ships. And also remember the delta missions are a staged release, they said up front they werent going to release them all with delta release, and release them afterwards a few at a time
Now that the game is down for repair, expect push back.
I dislike the kobali zone, cryptic picked the wrong race to be "friendly" with. A bunch of body snatching necros, the vaud (sp?) are a much more sympathetic race imho. I rather align with them than the ****ing kobali.
Give me an option to nuke koabli from existence, and I'll be happy. Oh, toss neelix into an airlock too.
I'm gonna have to agree with this.
The only issue there is, even if it is an enraging and completely obnoxious one, is the nerf to the STFs and the completely terrible HP scaling of mobs in Advanced.
Otherwise, I'd certainly say the servers and bugs are a LOT better than they were in LOR.
So no, your hatred of them isn't gonna give you those options, simply put.
Been playing STO since Open Beta, and have never regarded anything as worse than 'meh', if only due to personal standards.
LOL same old song since the inception of STO...what is this 10.0 complaining round?...same rage just different authors...if you dont bellieve go to archives and search for "grind" or "I quit" posts...numerous of those to go around from season to season and expansion to expansion.:eek:
Hmm...
...Nah. Season 4 still holds the crown for worst update ever. Delta Rising is up there at 2nd or 3rd place.
Looking back at LoR's launch, I thought it was more welcome to people, and most "rage" that I read was directed at the fact that the Romulans were not a full faction. Delta Rising was mostly met with a lukewarm response and has a lot of people upset with just about everything, while others praise the rise in difficulty and the addition of T6 ships. This update was going to make it or break it for STO. As it stands, the future looks uncertain to me.
I'm pretty sure most of the rage is directed at how stupid the HP on mobs are and the STF dilithium nerf.
I haven't really seen any content complaint threads other than that. It really is a shame too, since I thought the whole Delta Quadrant was done well, and more trekkish than previous seasons.
You got me there.. Yeah LoR the main complaint was the way they introduce the Rom faction as a neutered half-assed one. Don't forget the stackable SRO boffs, and the nerfed embassy ones the rest of us are stuck with.
Unless things drastically change from what they've done, the game probably will be dead in a year at most.

News flash, how many bug reports did that net you? 1? 2? The only reason anyone is going to pay to play test stuff is just so they can say they got to see it first, not to report problems and then theres the fact that theres way more silver than gold accounts and unless anyones expecting the game's population to be 2 it may be a good idea to test everything with a group that's a compairable size to the game's population.
Been going on for years now, don't know why we bother testing things on tribble tbh.

This is how they did it back in 2011:
pulled from patch notes from July 2011:
"Switching to Advanced or Elite difficulty will give critters a little more HP, but not much. However, they will deal more damage, and some will even gain new abilities. As always, playing at a higher difficulty setting will earn you better rewards."
More damage, more abilities?? Wow, I thought making mobs have a crapload of HP was hard! :rolleyes:
Time will only tell!
I am doing this as well.
Level 51 baby!!
Smart player. I will do the new content ... what little there is ... and then take a break.
