Current State of the Game

Hello,
this game is based on Star Trek and you could find some fun it. A lot of people are playing it, because it is a Star Trek Game.
But now, we are at a point where it is hard to find some fun in this game.
There is a big lack of (endgame)content in STO. There is nothing to do. Once you have filled up the reputation system you can't bother yourself to grind more. The current content of STO is focussed on Grind.
And "Featured Episodes" aren't endgame content - you don't play them often.
Out of all the grind folks get a huge powercreep. For that powercreep is no content out there, which requires it - basically folks are grinding for nothing. It's true, that you can play missions like Hive Space Elite, once you get better in the game, but why would you play that mission often? It takes longer than other missions, so the reward is too low for the needed time. If you would get something special out of missions like that, people would play it more often (and get stuff to beat it) - but at the moment there is no reason to play it.
The new PvE-Space-Queues are all timegated, it doesn't matter how good you are, you have to sit in these missions and wait for a timer (no need to grind for the powercreep, because you always need the same time), so people are still playing old PvEs like Infected for doing some kind of records, but with all the powercreep advanced has became a bad joke.
I don't want to talk about PvP as endgamecontent in this game. It totally broken and people don't get a good reward out of it => waste of time.
On top of all the problems, we have the serverside lagissues for over 7 months now and I don't see them going away in the near future.
All in all it can be said, that folks are grinding for nothing, they can't even play the old missions, because of the lag. They grind with the hope, that the lag will go away in the future - but they don't know when it goes away - if ever.
I have real problems to motivate myself to play STO - and I guess, that I'm not the only one with that kind of problems.
I have a few solutions for the problems:
1: Fix the serverlag immediately.
2: Bring new interesting PvE-Queues up - without timegate.
3: give longer and harder missions like Hive Elite a special reward.
4: Make a PvP-Daily-Mission with a nice reward, but private-matches shouldn't count for this, to prevent exploiting.
Yours sincerely

Meaning smarter AI that can match player abilities or skill. Make the boss power specifically Borg, Undine, and Iconian deadly and dangerous. Make the Borg adapt and be able to use buffs and abilities I mean all. Also make Iconians ab threat beyond equal to Borg or maybe harder.
Make all worlds persistent and put back exploration. Check out on youtube E3 No Mans Sky, ED, or SC
Anyway everyone would have a cow. The recent maintenances really highlight the out of date engine severely.
they need to reduce the available number of pve mission,
invest some time into foundry making it more attractive,
for the love of torpedoes, invest some effort into pvp already,
redo the cardassian arc.
Be careful. Smarter AI wont happen. Cryptics Solutions in that matter are always more HP and more one-hits.
READ THIS DEVS!!!
Hi,
I am in agreement with this totally. Bringing these special events back (hourly / daily) would really add some fun, structure and variety to STO.
These Are The Voyages...
I think almost every player would agree. It was a terrible decision and people really complained back in the days but again, nothing players could have done to stop it. As everything cryptic changed/removed, unfortunately nothing is going to come back.
Lol, i dont even read pvp anymore, my brain jumps instantly when i see that word xD. Cant believe people still have hopes that pvp will return someday
Is kerrat still popular? Did they restore the high quality loot?
Foundry is not a answer. It might help but not resolve. I wouldn't touch a foundry mission no matter the rewards.
No Content + Lag = very little hope for that game to become playable again... .
If you ask nicely...they would probably listen...I agree specially with number 4
