We are absolutely aware of the issue and the developers have been looking into the problem. Unfortunately, I do not have an ETA on hand to give out. Hopefully we'll have some better news for you soon but don't quote me on that quite yet.
could you give us an ETA when the next new staff member will join the forums. With show stopper bugs like this one, it would be nice if ma user might get some PWE responses about their software in like patch notes, or the forum section. Since it has been released not a single Mac issues has been officially recognized or commented upon.
Indicating client updates in patch notes would be a good start. Sry but we are aware by the new guy doesn t cut it.
(I can't believe I'm wasting my 300 seconds for this)

First of all, welcome to the STO community! Remember when visiting the forums to stay on yellow alert at all times, situations can suddenly require a jump to red alert and you want to be ready by then.
In all seriousness, you already made yourself a hero by simply saying hello. Every developer who posts on a regular basis on these forums has a reputation of being loved by many of the community. And although there are people out here who are not going to treat you nice, there are gonna be a lot of us who will always treat you with respect. Just don't pay too much attention to people bashing you.
And btw, due to that Mad Hatter pic, you are already becoming a personal hero!

It comes with a Reality Bomb that can literally instantly annihilate the universe. Sure, it's hard to keep all of the planets in the right places to make it work, and you have to put up with Davros, the Supreme Dalek, and the New Dalek Empire, and the Doctor will try to destroy it, but just LOOK at the thing!
You don't need whatever it was you were trying to link to annihilate the universe, that link alone should do a bang up job! It already managed to break my browser.

Welcome to the forums (and i assume game at some point). All that can be said about STO pretty much has been said, so i"ll just leave it at hello and welcome.
And to those who keep asking about the name "adamanteus" it is a snake and in no way related to adamantium. However, if in picking this name he actually was trying to reference wolverine i shall stand corrected, or sit, or walk, or whatever people do these days.

I assume your position was the one advertised as monetization designer? If so, the re-title is a good move.
I have said multiple times that I think dedicated eyes on the product and service experience, as well as budgeting and value for purchases (and indirect monetization) would be good.
I'm finishing up my MBA (second master's) and I had observed that the functions of the monetization designer could be beneficial but that the title was far too scary.
I imagine you're here to see what we value and how our transactions (in time and in ZEN) can be made the most satisfying and enticing value propositions possible. And that probably entails some department hopping.
The forums have a reputation for negativity but I also think that means we have the potential for some of the best feedback. Some of my favorite elements of the game come from community feedback on the forums. We may be a bit rambunctious but, you know, the complaints department is a great place to start for new product development. Folks here will be the first (and loudest) to say "ouch" when something is an uncomfortable fit. I think that could make this place awkward for devs busy engineering systems but I think the forums will be a rich source of feedback for you, if your responsibilities are what I think they are.

Well, the link isn't going into super-long mode for me...and that was the best pic of the New Dalek Empire's flagship Crucible that I could easily get.
Love that thing. Best 10 story, IMHO, and better Dalek story than anything 11 got...I swear, once they introduced the Dalek puppets and overused them to the point of absurdity, and added in Moffat's terrible writing, it all went downhill...
*shudders in memory of that terrible, terrible hot mess that was "Time of the Doctor"*
*Shudders again in memory of the gratuitous terrible that was "Asylum of the Daleks"*
*Admits that, in all fairness, Moffat did "Into the Dalek" right--although a lot of that was Peter Capaldi's prodigious talents, and that one glorious line where Rusty tells the Doctor that HE, the Doctor, is a "good Dalek"*
Anyway...yeah. I'm a proud Whovian, and I love 10. He was the best, but 9 will always be MY Doctor.
LOL, two Cardassians with business degrees...this could get scary, Leviathan.
But the funny thing is that maximization of profit REALLY, TRULY done right in the long run means looking after the customers and treating them with dignity.
That is a key motto I think anyone in a customer service position should keep in mind. Does that mean we'll agree on everything? No. But as long that key objective in place, levels of friction should hopefully be kept down to more tolerable levels.

Welcome to STO Aaron glad to have some new blood on the team. Make sure they don't Nerf your mind and spirit and if you fight for the players you will have a ton of friends. Hope to see ya around.

This started out really well. I find the wiki on the snake whom happens to be kinda interesting since I live where they live and end up reading about a sweet revolutionary flag. A revolutionary new member for the STO team that is awesome!
I continued reading. Let us just say a particular group has co-opted said flag that I dislike. Now I'm thinking political thoughts. Why does everything have to lead me to political thoughts. I think I may have issues.

I wanted to take a minute to introduce myself. I am the newest addition to the Star Trek Online team here at PWE. I've very recently taken on the role of Product Manager.
I want to say that I'm very excited to join the team, interact with all of you, and hopefully help everyone make STO even greater than it already is.
I want to thank all of you for your feedback and support for STO.
In the meantime, if you have questions for/about me feel free to reply to this post. I'll grab a few of the good questions and answer them in between all of the work being done for STO.
Thanks and great to meet you all!
Aaron "Adamanteus" Biedma
Product Manager

I won't start you off on your first day with questions or complaints.
Welcome to the team, I hope your time here considered successful and that the game continues to grow in a positive direction.
Do I have some issues currently? Of course I do, but best to just start with a sincere welcome. I'll let you get situated before I hammer you with everything that's currently wrong.
Welcome. You're starting out right by trying to actually communicate with your customers, something there is very little of around here.

Space the final frontier. These are the voyages of [your name here] on a five year mission to gain one level after the delta rising xp nerf.
Or, you know, gaining a monopoly over what's an essential service in all but law, but that doesn't actually work when all you're dealing with's a game.
Well, an exclusive license means STO has as much monopoly as it can get shy of forcing people to play through some kind of legal mandate.
At the end of the day, a monopoly on almost anything still has four competitors:
- Non-participation
The consumer may not buy anything.
- Distinct but "good enough for the consumer" substitute goods
Someone can always play old Bridge Commander mods. Or go to the movies. Or read a book.
- Unprofitability
Having a monopoly doesn't mean you're operating at a profit if you're lax internally.
- The potential versions of the firm
Less obvious but just because, say, Cryptic doesn't have competitors doesn't mean it isn't earning more or less than other hypothetical versions of themselves. You'll always be in competition with your past self, with forecasted predictions for where you'd be now, and with any possible version of yourself. If there's hypothetical a version of you (within reason) that is more profitable, you're suffering economic losses. It's the opportunity cost (the cost incurred by forgoing the next best option).
Ultimately, even a monopoly benefits from a good relationship with its customers. It may not have any marketshare to gain by doing so but it still has profits it can lose or value it can fail to capture by not doing so.
Monopolies which don't try aren't acting in their own best interests.
And even to the extent that any licensed product is a kind of monopoly, there would be absolutely zero point in Cryptic hiring a product manager if they didn't think they could do better with tapping into the desires of its customers and potential customers. They could take that salary and issue it as bonuses or dividends instead. Putting it into a product manager bodes well, in my opinion.
My condolences when you realize you'll not be able to make any meaningful difference to the sinking ship that STO has become. If your idea isn't going to make them fast money then PWE doesn't want to hear it.
(Geez when did they put in the 300sec posting cooldown? GJ PWE that's one way to slow down the criticism.)
Sometimes I think I play STO just to have something to complain about on the forums.
product manager eh? any chance you can increase the value of the package to our forums here by lowering the 300 second limit to say 180 seconds instead?
anyways, lets see what you can bring to the game.
T6 Miranda Hero Ship FTW. Been around since Dec 2010 on STO and bought LTS in Apr 2013 for STO.
Comments
could you give us an ETA when the next new staff member will join the forums. With show stopper bugs like this one, it would be nice if ma user might get some PWE responses about their software in like patch notes, or the forum section. Since it has been released not a single Mac issues has been officially recognized or commented upon.
Indicating client updates in patch notes would be a good start. Sry but we are aware by the new guy doesn t cut it.
Welcome in STO. I hope you have a good time.

In all seriousness, you already made yourself a hero by simply saying hello. Every developer who posts on a regular basis on these forums has a reputation of being loved by many of the community. And although there are people out here who are not going to treat you nice, there are gonna be a lot of us who will always treat you with respect. Just don't pay too much attention to people bashing you.
And btw, due to that Mad Hatter pic, you are already becoming a personal hero!
Fly safe, and enjoy your time in STO!

And to those who keep asking about the name "adamanteus" it is a snake and in no way related to adamantium. However, if in picking this name he actually was trying to reference wolverine i shall stand corrected, or sit, or walk, or whatever people do these days.
Speaking of products, horta and exocomps would be very well managed if made playable races!
Fortunately, my browser just ignored my clicking that link for some reason.

party in pweadamanteus' cubicle, i'm bringing the microwave popcorn.......
I assume your position was the one advertised as monetization designer? If so, the re-title is a good move.
I have said multiple times that I think dedicated eyes on the product and service experience, as well as budgeting and value for purchases (and indirect monetization) would be good.
I'm finishing up my MBA (second master's) and I had observed that the functions of the monetization designer could be beneficial but that the title was far too scary.
I imagine you're here to see what we value and how our transactions (in time and in ZEN) can be made the most satisfying and enticing value propositions possible. And that probably entails some department hopping.
The forums have a reputation for negativity but I also think that means we have the potential for some of the best feedback. Some of my favorite elements of the game come from community feedback on the forums. We may be a bit rambunctious but, you know, the complaints department is a great place to start for new product development. Folks here will be the first (and loudest) to say "ouch" when something is an uncomfortable fit. I think that could make this place awkward for devs busy engineering systems but I think the forums will be a rich source of feedback for you, if your responsibilities are what I think they are.
Well, the link isn't going into super-long mode for me...and that was the best pic of the New Dalek Empire's flagship Crucible that I could easily get.
Love that thing. Best 10 story, IMHO, and better Dalek story than anything 11 got...I swear, once they introduced the Dalek puppets and overused them to the point of absurdity, and added in Moffat's terrible writing, it all went downhill...
*shudders in memory of that terrible, terrible hot mess that was "Time of the Doctor"*
*Shudders again in memory of the gratuitous terrible that was "Asylum of the Daleks"*
*Admits that, in all fairness, Moffat did "Into the Dalek" right--although a lot of that was Peter Capaldi's prodigious talents, and that one glorious line where Rusty tells the Doctor that HE, the Doctor, is a "good Dalek"*
Anyway...yeah. I'm a proud Whovian, and I love 10. He was the best, but 9 will always be MY Doctor.
But the funny thing is that maximization of profit REALLY, TRULY done right in the long run means looking after the customers and treating them with dignity.
That is a key motto I think anyone in a customer service position should keep in mind. Does that mean we'll agree on everything? No. But as long that key objective in place, levels of friction should hopefully be kept down to more tolerable levels.

Or, you know, gaining a monopoly over what's an essential service in all but law, but that doesn't actually work when all you're dealing with's a game.
This started out really well. I find the wiki on the snake whom happens to be kinda interesting since I live where they live and end up reading about a sweet revolutionary flag. A revolutionary new member for the STO team that is awesome!
I continued reading. Let us just say a particular group has co-opted said flag that I dislike. Now I'm thinking political thoughts. Why does everything have to lead me to political thoughts. I think I may have issues.
I have one question that splits into two :
Name one thing that you especially like about STO right now .
Name one thing that you would change about STO right now .
Thanks for posting and remember to always wear flame resistant underoos around here !
... I'm not saying that keeping a spare one around for emergencies is a good idea , but keeping a spare one around for emergencies is a good idea ...
Indeed, remember this, Aaron.

My, my even the color scheme in that scene couldn't be more perfect! Let's hope you can accomplish that with a little less kamikaze.

I won't start you off on your first day with questions or complaints.
Welcome to the team, I hope your time here considered successful and that the game continues to grow in a positive direction.
Do I have some issues currently? Of course I do, but best to just start with a sincere welcome. I'll let you get situated before I hammer you with everything that's currently wrong.

Well, an exclusive license means STO has as much monopoly as it can get shy of forcing people to play through some kind of legal mandate.
At the end of the day, a monopoly on almost anything still has four competitors:
- Non-participation
The consumer may not buy anything.
- Distinct but "good enough for the consumer" substitute goods
Someone can always play old Bridge Commander mods. Or go to the movies. Or read a book.
- Unprofitability
Having a monopoly doesn't mean you're operating at a profit if you're lax internally.
- The potential versions of the firm
Less obvious but just because, say, Cryptic doesn't have competitors doesn't mean it isn't earning more or less than other hypothetical versions of themselves. You'll always be in competition with your past self, with forecasted predictions for where you'd be now, and with any possible version of yourself. If there's hypothetical a version of you (within reason) that is more profitable, you're suffering economic losses. It's the opportunity cost (the cost incurred by forgoing the next best option).
Ultimately, even a monopoly benefits from a good relationship with its customers. It may not have any marketshare to gain by doing so but it still has profits it can lose or value it can fail to capture by not doing so.
Monopolies which don't try aren't acting in their own best interests.
And even to the extent that any licensed product is a kind of monopoly, there would be absolutely zero point in Cryptic hiring a product manager if they didn't think they could do better with tapping into the desires of its customers and potential customers. They could take that salary and issue it as bonuses or dividends instead. Putting it into a product manager bodes well, in my opinion.
- Welcome.
- Good luck.
- Don't take the constant forum rage personally.
- My condolences when you realize you'll not be able to make any meaningful difference to the sinking ship that STO has become. If your idea isn't going to make them fast money then PWE doesn't want to hear it.
(Geez when did they put in the 300sec posting cooldown? GJ PWE that's one way to slow down the criticism.)- What's your professional background
- Where can I find Sulu?
...because he will find an easy way to do it.
-Bill Gates
anyways, lets see what you can bring to the game.
Been around since Dec 2010 on STO and bought LTS in Apr 2013 for STO.
