    A shame that New Link is bugged, it's one of the few missions I bother with when leveling a new toon.
    I stream on Twitch, look for Avoozl_

    I'm pretty easy going but a little annoyed by this one. I was looking forward to trying it out. I have a few new characters I'm slowly leveling up, and was trying to decide if I should head canon another sword user. :/

    Don't let them promote you. Don't let them transfer you. Don't let them do anything that takes you off the bridge of that ship, because while you're there... you can make a difference.

    well I hope they add something to it otherwise it's not gonna sell from the tooltip it was pretty much the Na'kuhl Assassin Plasma Blade without the plamsa stuff that made it interesting/useful.

    one of my kdf characters has a small sword collection without the Draconian sword I have no real reason to run it again.

    if I stop posting it doesn't make you right it. just means I don't have enough rum to continue interacting with you.

    And here I was thinking that the T6 skins where a gift for the ones that have the original set of 6 temporal ships... or at least all the lobi ones..

    That sword looked decent. Such a shame!

    What is the purpose of announcing shard maintenance in game with how many minutes left before it starts when you shut off the login server 6-15 minutes ahead of maintenance every single time and make swapping between characters impossible?

    So. What to do for 2.5 hours? Ideas?

    Well dammit, was looking forward to that sword...

    First the new mission is bugged wrecking the trays apparently, so I avoid it and wait, now one of the rewards gets removed, and then the T6 skin option on the temporal T5's gets removed which was a nice little gift considering back in the day those cost hundreds of millions of EC (193M, 79M, ?M for the 3) and still do.

    One can always count on STO players (reddit in this case) to report every little bit of a good thing, to make sure absolutely nobody (grinders, gamblers) gets to enjoy some harmless perks - it's not like having some skins makes any impact on the desire for acquiring the real T6s with their starship traits, and other perks, however minor and lacking. I still own 2x T6 destroyers and do want 2x temporal sci assuming their prices and demand become more reasonable to match their completely disappointing stats. Only Star Trek Online could ever come up with end-game hero timeships that cost a fortune and a gamble, have nothing unique now that their abilities are ship universal, and sit next to cheaper Edoulg and Eternal that do proper time shenanigans along with pets and frigates that boost entropy.

    Known Issues:
    The mission "The New Link" is currently cannot be completed. It's recommended that players skip it.

    Like your patches (sorry, three days of maintenance) - you may wish to actually REVIEW posts - to avoid issues. Hint: drop the 'is'
  • sicnussicnus Member Posts: 19 Arc User
    Enjoyed reading your post. It is sad. However, the tray could (THANK GOD) be reset using the loadout, provided you have used that 'feature'. Regardless, it's so sad & pathetic that one even has to do this when they knew your tray would be changed for the mission & have to be reset... I'm not sure if they need remedial education or what.

    More PvP fun on Auraxis to level my terran while STO is busy nerfing rebalancing the game while power selling more stuff to replace the old, like they did with Auxiliary Power Scaling with Override Subsystem scaling, which affected my whole line of Intel sci & intel seating ships like the Annorax, Paradox, Scryer, T'Laru, and like they undoubtedly will too for temporal powers of existing ships to rebalance for new line of science down the road, because forget player satisfaction and retention, that's just not the STO way.

    Rats, I was going to play the mission to get the Draconian sword as a reward. Crrryyyypttttic! But besides that nice fixes.

    I played up until three minutes before the scheduled downtime and it didn't shut off on me and I only got kicked once, got back in and finished what I was doing. Of course, I didn't try swapping any captains because I was on my F2P toon and have no others on that acct yet except her.

    The sword doesn't bother me since I don't have any sword users. Likely it's going to end up in the Lobi store, as some have stated.
    Now a LTS and loving it.
    Just because you spend money on this game, it does not entitle you to be a jerk if things don't go your way.
    I have come to the conclusion that I have a memory like Etch-A-Sketch. I shake my head and forget everything. :D

    Me too. I know I have at least one large load to do.

    I'm sad, I was looking forward to a new sword too; I enjoy the option for a melee weapon (even if the game heavily favors "auto-fire basic shot" ground combat).

    You can no longer get ENERGY credits, but you still earn FLEET credits.

    I'm not too bothered by the removal of the sword. The Voth fangs would probably remain the best melee weapon anyway ;)

    I'm curious what the replacement will be like though.

    Yeah removing the Draconian Sword from the mission reward is a bummer.

    The wanker move will be if/when Cryptic places the sword in the Lobi store.
