lol, missed the point again. u really not deserve that avatar :P:D
Oh I get the point - the loudest voice is heard. The point is to attack on day one to push the agenda of a teensy tiny minority and make it seem larger than it is. You brought out all your friends here and this pvp is about the only thing being discussed in this thread - so it must be very important to the game overall - right?

First off, welcome to Stephen Ricossa to the big chair.
Second, I'm not a PvP'er as I just enjoy the story arc and side-missions. I don't have anything explicitly against it, but would refrain from making it mandatory for progression of a character.
On the subject of that, PvP'ers can go and PvP all they want until they're blue in the face. I've PvP'ed on other games and all I've seen are entitled elitists, which is why I don't play those anymore. I've tried a couple times here and didn't like it .. same essential thing in chat being said 'get gud scrub', so you all can have it and I'll have the game I play my way.
Not sure if I should be like: "Hooooooooray Geko is finally gone!!! Time to party! Everything is going to be better now!"
or:
Geko is NOT gone. Geko was never the Executive Producer. Stephen D'angelo was the Executive Producer & was probably still working in his capacity as the Chief Technical Officer of the entire studio, so he wasn't as responsive as Stahl had been previously.
One can only hope that the unification of the quadrants is not the deathknell for "Tour the Galaxy". Even now, it yields only a small amount of XP's and EC's, but it's a daily staple for newer players leveling up... :eek:

.... now that guy is REALLY funny ..... get ur milk dude!
first read, then think, then post. but better about something u got a clue about :P:
did u ever pvp? for how long? as been already said: alone 1000+ members in one pvp channel logged in at the same time when there was even just little hope?!
tourneys and pvp fleets all over? every pvp'er an hardcore pve'er, carrying whoever through whatnot missions? whales all over?.....

You have those people in pve too? Don't tell me those people in PvE don't exist. You are just being bias.
Okay, he's removing sector blocks and just having quadrants. That's good and all, but I what to kick down a Gorn with a Dominion Vorta already. Why am I bringing this up other than the fact the Dominion has been speculated countless times? Well, people that probably didn't ask that question, Season 10 might be for the Gamma Quadrant. It would make sense in foresight.
Sweeping generalizations much? We are angry. If this were reversed and Cryptic lied to you over a dozen times, how would you feel? Would you say, oh yeah, we are just toxic that is why PvP isn't succeeding, or would you blame the people lying to your face?
Many people are angry. The game has its' issues. For example, I just crit'd A DoFF assignment and got 9k XP. I get barely a half for completing ground STF. That in my eyes is wrong. The overly pressure on players to grind, and not even by playing the game, but, being limited by million timegates & waiting.
My point is, if they give PvP'ers some fix, all good, but I'm certainly not sympathetic to the cause when some PvP'ers take their anger on those who don't care about that stuff in STO. We aren't the reason for PvP being ruined, it's something clearly forgotten. Likewise, spewing hate on the devs is not going to help anything. I believe in reasoning with arguments, not with insults. Simply as that.
Also, if it was reversed & PvP would be focus of this game, I'd not be playing this game, as it'd be a different kind of game which I'd not want to play. I thought I'd point that out here. If I want to go competitive, I load my close-to-GrandMaster StarCraft 2 account and clash there. When I want to enjoy Trek, I go on STO. Simply as that, I picj the type of game when I pick what game I want to play for the moment.

I didn't mention anything else. You're implying I meant STFs .. I don't do those anymore either since the launch of DR. I only specifically mentioned story and side-missions.
If this person doesn't want to be the fall guy for STO going under here are a few tips.
1. Get ship born power creep under control, boff specialization abilities need to become a part of the primary three tac/sci/eng careers. The extra bridge officer ability given by tier 6 must ALWAYS be a Lt. Cmdr. T5U gives a full T5U ship price discount on fleet tier 6 upgrades.
2. Give PVP some maps and additional game modes, like capture the flag and attack/defend with star bases. Give PVP a proper resource payout again.
3. Massively nerf the XP, dilithium, and EC requirements of post lvl 50 grinding. As the level 50 grind requirements are still there this shouldn't be a problem.
4. Make reputation account wide for all alts that choose to become a part of the account grind, which grows in proportion to the alts that opted in. Grinding on one character first kills the joy of the new content before one can experience its full potential.
5. Make the DPS requirements for Elite content doable or barely not doable for the average non tactical ship using mk 14 gear.
6. Actually release Elite content.
7. Stop trying to make everyone craft, bring back end mission item rewards.

... and yet u guys can't stop to flame against pvp anytime someone brings it in .... soooo trek lulz...

nope, obviously u didn't get it! :P
I'm sorry but I can not decipher this collection of random characters. Look, lobby for your pvp. Enjoy! But just be honest when you do so. Across the entire industry pvp represents a very small % of the playerbase. Smaller even than "raiders." And getting smaller with each new mini generation.
I wish you only the best of luck!

"With the first link, the chain is forged. The first speech censured, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains us all irrevocably."
You realize you're proving the point of toxicity of PvP community with these comments, right?
Also, competition is all good and nice, but some of us simply play this game because it's Star Trek, and we don't want to play Red vs Blue here.
Being bitter towards people, who enjoy Trek and not PvP is not going to win or get you anything, your PvP fixes, nor any sympathies... aside of those like you, who just need to spew hate at the welcoming post of a new guy, who didn't even make any decisions yet; thus again, proving, how toxic PvP players are.
lemme flush after you post ...
you pay to kill npcs lol
Im sure killing 21000000000 ships is very star trek canon...you play this game because its star trek lol

My post was not trolling & neither were many others, who expressed disinterest in PvP. I merely spoke my mind, that I don't care about PvP. That's not trolling, that's called having an opinion. And we don't require your approval for our own, personal preferences now, do we? It's this twisting of our intents, which likewise, make you look like... well, not very likeable, you know?

The only people I take anger out on are, fanboys, Dev script kiddies, greedy companies, PvErs/PvPers that don't give a damn about game balance but pretend they know what they are talking about.
But PvE has just as many toxic people as PvP, if not more. I have ran into many elitist pvEers that think they are #1 cause they can kill a borg cube, they talk all trash until I explode them politely. But don't try to make this sound like PvP has a monopoly on the rude, elitist players.
Even Omega Particle Trace MINI Game is more challenging than PVE STF. make pve which you cant play without 40-50% resist. and ill stop PVP.
Again, twisting our words. Nobody asks you to stop PvP. To put it bluntly... stop being jerks to playerbase, who expresses disinterest in PvP, looking all smug and down on these people. It's like with meal.. some people like apples, but some people don't. Will you go look down on these people, just because they don't like what you do? I'd imagine not.
Is it that hard?

You're right but here is the thing. Right now. PVP crybabbies are working their hardest to drive players away from pvp.

stop being jerks when our money we put in the game are seen in pvp not your pve.Till then I paid to bash your TRIBBLE.
Lets hope this one can rein in Geko's idiocy ("Dinosaurs with frikin lasers on their heads" anyone?) and to balance the monetisation against content people will desire to play, if he can do that I think he'll get a good rep in the community, then he just has to worry about the management.
PvP whiners go play some PvP focused game instead, this is Star Trek, a lore based story driven PvE or co-op PvE* not some hack 'n slash Klingons & Phasers 4th edition bull****

Sorry PVP is gone, not even Buddah, Jesus, Jahwe, Allah could bring it back ... but still no reason not to give Ricossa a chance to improve things :P
Sounds like a lot of BS to save Face ... and it's not even from D'Angelo ...
Oh I get the point - the loudest voice is heard. The point is to attack on day one to push the agenda of a teensy tiny minority and make it seem larger than it is.
