Here you go, my lovelies:

http://www.arcgames.com/en/games/star-trek-online/news/detail/9008443-release-notes%3A-december-3rd%2C-2014

As you can see, no mention at all of any XP increases, changes to leveling or anything resembling what we've been hearing.

Now get back to grinding and keep giving Cryptic your money, you ungrateful min-maxing 14 year old whiners.

    As you can see, no mention at all of any XP increases, changes to leveling, doubling of skill points from patrols in the Delta Quadrant or anything resembling what we've been hearing.

    Now get back to grinding and keep giving Cryptic your money, you ungrateful min-maxing 14 year old whiners.

    Delta Quadrant Patrols:
    Doubled the amount of rewarded Skill Points for all Delta Quadrant patrol missions.
    All Delta Quadrant missions reward 10 Delta Marks instead of 5.
    Updated the Parein Patrol reward to include loot since it is a disable all enemies instead of defeat all enemies mission.

    erm..... maybe not game wide but this is a start! :rolleyes:

    I'll take any XP Increase I can get ... but not sure why it's Patrols out of all content ... it's basically the only thing that didn't need an XP-Boost ...

    Was about to comment, but james went all ninja on me.
    This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.

    Not all patrols, just the DQ ones. It's to keep players in the Delta Quadrant... the trouble is, with the winter event running, I don't see how it's going to cause the huge leap in numbers they're expecting.

    Meh. I still don't see any real problem with the 55-60 xp requirements. I understand and accept why they are the way they are. Why rush into the new story content anyway? Wait a few weeks, doff, play PvE, get your toon to level 60 and then consume the story content, that is what I did. I had my main toon to level 60 within about 2 weeks just from doffing and running a few STFs. My farmer toons that i never do anything on other than doff are all right around level 58 at the moment. I mean, they are still changing stuff even now with the new content, so why do we need to rush into it? Now everyone that hurried up and did the "story patrols" is pissed off cause they got cheated out of xp they could of had.

    My gripe with DR was and still is the fact that is was released half done and the cost of the upgrading gear and ships is far too much. I never thought the xp and leveling was broken.

    I've been here since beta

    It's just the completion reward on delta patrols that's doubled.

    Still not xp for defeating NPCs in said patrols.

    (in other words, you get 5200 xp for completing a Delta patrol by this time tomorrow. I guess better find a fast patrol to complete over and over, then it may be a useful enough buff.)
    TOIVA, Toi Vaxx, Toia Vix, Toveg, T'vritha, To Vrax: Bring in the Allegiance class.
    Toi'Va, Ti'vath, Toivia, Ty'Vris, Tia Vex, Toi'Virth: Add Tier 6 KDF Carrier and Raider.
    Tae'Va, T'Vaya, To'Var, Tevra, T'Vira, To'Vrak: Give us Asylums for Romulans.

    Don't make ARC mandatory! Keep it optional only!

    That was my general theme. The core issues of low XP payout have not been adjusted to any meaningful extent. 158,000 points per specialization point, folks. The 2000 - 3000 xp you'll be getting from an Argala patrol won't even make the bar move. I'll be spending my time killing snowmen and spending my money on christmas cakes.

    To be fair I'm not overly bothered by the slow xp progression post 60, Specialisation is good, but not really a game breaker in my eyes, if it takes me a year to fill, so be it. Not that i'll be doing anything other than the Winter Event for the foreseable future. Maybe by the end of that they will have fixed some more things.

    Yeah shame really... I really have no enthusiasm to play STO while anything non-DR rewards practically no XP. I've checked its size on my HD and at the rate its going I might have to just give it a rest and see how it pans out over 2015.

    Does anyone know if deleting local content means you lose all your toons/stuff?

    You definitely don't. I've recently replaced my hard drives and I had to reinstall STO - my stuff was still there. I'm guessing it's all stored server-side.

    Nah your gear is ok, its logged server side, you just loose all your ui settings - chat, keybinds etc, although those folders take up little to no space so you could actually just back them up and keep them safe.

    Yeah, I thought it was going to be for kills in those patrols, too, but I guess that would maybe even be impossible to implement?

    As it is it's virtually nothing so I won't have to do it :)

    Why do you automatically go straight to insulting me? I WOULD APOLOGIZE IF YOU NICELY POINT IT OUT.

    I have no sense of superiority, and I would kindly prefer you to take back that insult. Thank you very much.

    Insta-corrected, eh? You didn't correct yoursef at all. Why do you keep saying that you corrected yourself when the evidence to the contrary is clear?

    No. No, I'm sick of being crapped on for calling people out on their BS. And when I apparently do something similar wrong, I don't get called out. Instead, I get insulted and treated like TRIBBLE. He needs to apologize to me.

    Way to go guys. The playerbase asks for some more cookies so you break a small piece off the one you're eating and reluctantly hand it over.

    Kudos on the bug fixes in this patch, but this XP buff is way too little, way too late.

    Not only that, but I thought they were underperforming and only giving 1/3 of the rewards it's suppose to and therefore should be an increase of 3x not just double?

    Perhaps I'm losing my mind or getting confused with another game....

    If only those places were fun - but no, it's the patented warp-in, kill 2-3 groups of enemies only to get "surprised" by a couple reinforcement groups. Go to next system. Rinse. Repeat.

    Now, for double the reward! Yay.

    Yeah, they need to go out and sign up for a remedial math class at a community college over winter break and come back next year and check their math. :confused:
