Anywho, I will say this so far for the expansion, this is far more smooth so far, than what it was like for the Romulan expansion. And also, overall the game has proven far more stable and to be honest overall, fair, for what a F2P MMO is expected to be, overall.
Could do without the nerfed EC and DIl bits, and the fact there are fifty something Borg spheres per ISA (formerly ISE,) but it hasn't felt like a disaster, as some players think it is.
I say this knowing future Season 10 stuff is in the works, and we've only just begun the Delta Adventure in wild west space. *Twirls phaser into holster, after blowing on it.*
Peeps are welcome to their own opinion, but this is IMHO.
I like Delta rising and it has had a by far, way better release than LoR,
But i hate how event ships can be upgraded for free to T5-u yet i cant upgrade my 3 vestas which i spent $ 75 on for free, even though i handed over my money to these guys.
So heres the deal to all the nay sayers, and whiners ive seen in this thread, about them wanting cryptic to "nerf" the advanced/elite. Get over it, and learn a build, and put it together.
if you cannot do the new stuff you have one or multiple of the problems i am going to list.
1. You dont actually know a decent ship build. ( gear level is not that important )
2. Your skill tree, you have that all messed up don't you?
3. Your not level 60, SO do normals, until you are max level.
4. Remember Normals were all you could do at level 44-45t to level 50?? Well they should make you do normals from 50-55 so you all quit whining.
5. Your too, unknowlegeable, or unaware how FREE to play this game is, without even needed to cheat, with a macro or anything to make dilithium, and turn it into zen.
Your only whining because cryptic is forcing you to play content, your not "used to".
I would suggest to you, temporarely find a fleet, that is willing to help you learn some actual knowledge about the game, and play with them. Most people have fleet channels, and they are basically "fleet alliances".
If your an owner of a small fleet, make an alt toon and go meet some people. For petes sake this is an MMO, its not meant to be played solo. These are meant to be social games. Join an alliance, with a tier 5 fleet, and get access to your gear that way, and keep your fleet. Its not hard to do things, as long as you have a team that knows what they are doing.
Crytpic has done the best thing they could for this game, because even for most casual players, that play it for the social experiance, as adults, THINK ITS TOO EASY. ( you know, the actual money providers for the game. )
Cryptic, and the team SAID you could not just pug the new stuff, so stop trying to join a que from a pug group. Expecially while everyone that knows what to do is power leveling.
I say thank you cryptic, for taking us in a brighter, better direction!
Question... since this large chunk of downtime - plus the maintenance this morning and the fact that I was at work for almost the entire time in between (minus one hour, in which not all my characters' previous assignments were ready to be restarted)...
... can we get some sort of temporary multiplier thrown in for DOFF and R&D assignment progress in order to make up for lost progress caused by today's 6+ hours of maintenance time?

you bring reason and logic into this discussion? next you'll bring up a 100% free respect for all char's because of fubar'd respects. and I think respect should have a commit or redo before you can finalize one.
but for shame back to the original thrashing. you need to be condemned and ridiculed before this breaks out and reason takes hold!
yeah it was like the second patrol set, where you rescue the kobali. No it didnt get that bad he chased me back onto the map and wasnt spawning reinforcements.
Nah.
Mine was in the first set.
The rest weren' nearly as much trouble, but still took about 15-30 minutes each, and The Doctor's Photonic Bulwark took me 4 hours because it kept insta-healing everytime it killed me because my respawn point was too far away.
Once I was able to drag it over to my respawn point, it took about 20 mnutes, and 3 respawns to finally "defeat".
"Join Date: Jun 2012" Says Cryptic's "new" forum system. I've been here since a week before launch, but SOME stuff just didn't carry over through multiple system changes/updates. :rolleyes:
