Things I want in STO:
1) More character customization options such as more clothing options, letting the toon complexion affect the entire body, not just the head. Also a true RGB color picker applied to all costume and appearance options, which would allow for true appearance customization and homogenous colors instead of "this same exact color looks vastly different on two different pieces."
2) Bridge customization, not bridge packs. Let us pick a general layout and adjust the color palette, console appearance, and chair types, as well as more ready room layout options.
3) Customizable ground weapons, i.e. The aesthetic look of phaser dual pistols but they shoot antiproton bolts. For obvious reasons this would only apply to standard ground weapons.
4) For the love of Q please revamp Plasma Ground Weapons. They look like demented Supersoakers right now.
5) True Vanity Impulse and Deflector effects similar to Vanity Shields.
6) A greater payout for hitting T6 Reputations. Currently it takes more time and resources to get from T5 to T6 than it does to get from nothing to T5. Make that grind really pay out at the end.
7) Mirrorverse Refugee event similar to AoY/Delta/Gamma, complete with new Mirrorverse recruits for all factions.
8) Independent Faction, because yo ho yo ho a pirate's life for me!
All of this ^^^^ is so true.
That time is only accessible to people in the US, and i'd guess you're missing a high percentage of your players here. Written comms with the players is always much better so we can read at our leisure.
Don't hide this behind some daft timezone video only content. Players have been screaming out for feedback about a great many things for weeks, give us proper feedback.
*reads over what will be discussed*
Oh...
So this would not be the best time/place to bring up all the bugs with Twin Tribulations.
Gotcha.
Have fun anyway.
Losing faith in humanity, one person at a time.
Our youtube channel always has videos of the streams after they happen.
Hello rubber banding my old friend, time to bounce around the battlezone again, where are all my bug reports going?, out of love with this game I am falling, As Cryptic fail to acknowledge a problem exists, Shakes an angry fist, And from Support all I'm hearing are the sounds of silence.
you know live streams aren't the same with youtube videos right?
the time is only for us players or night people (like vampires). if it was on friday or saturday would have been a little better. most of us have to work to buy zen you know?
But is good to see some comunication anyway. maybe next stream will be at 4 pm GTB
You guys are such negative Nancys. Just because you think the video should be immediately available after the livestream doesn't mean it has or even needs to be. Check your sense of entitlement at the door, please. Also, the Community Manager and Borticus aren't obligated to hold a live stream to be convenient for any certain timezone. They are located on the west coast of the United States, so it only makes sense that they have a live stream at a time that makes sense for them. Do you spoiled little brats really think they should be up at 3 or 4am to do a livestream just to please you? Man, how selfish can you guys really be? There are lines of communication open between the development team in all sorts of places. From Reddit Chat, to /sto and /stobuilds, the forums, as well as livestreams such as the one that was heald today. People need to stop acting like everything is happening through back channels and behind closed doors. The Develoment Team has given the playerbase a pretty large degree of transparency before and all throughtout the rebalance. Remember, they don't actually have to do any of this. They could just change stuff and if you don't like it, well boo-hoo.
The most important thing I took away from today's Livestream was that balance is something they are always going to be working on. When they fix one thing, something else is liable to break, and then something else and so on. There will never be a time when the game is "perfect".
+1 for southeast asia!!

Thank you. Maybe we can have a trading channel that isn't peppered with your whining as well as someone in charge who won't "duct tape" someone (as you not-so-eloquently put it) for daring to voice an opinion that differs from your own.

Well at least here, you can't mute me or permaban me, so you can't keep up your schtick of making it all out to be that I'm the bad guy and you're perfectly innocent. Whine all you want. I was going to ask you to remove me from the channel anyway because I can't stand the sight of your words there any longer. But nevermind that, because I left the channel of my own accord.
You want to make it a members only club where everyone fears the mute button or banhammer if they dare question anything you say, so be it. I won't be part of it. Toodles, and I wish you many poor trades.
This is the last I will speak of this here, as this thread is not the place for this.

Ambassadorkael's the best new member of the STO team, and he's done more behind the scenes in everyone's favor than most.
It's a sad day if Crosis is leaving too, among so many others I know that are rightfully upset about the state of the game. It will have a big impact on the game as whole, and it won't be a good one.
As for these balance changes, there's definitely good stuff in them, things I've wanted to see in the game from a while ago, but also due to the complexity of the game, player base, timing of game changes, observed history and patterns etc., it translates into more of a mixed bag as opposed to actual balance.
