So while I enjoy the Discovery stuff I am curious, whatever happend to the other storylines?
There is to much jumping around from one timeline or one universe to the next
to get some kind of red lining through it all. One moment your fighting hurq the next your time
jumping into the past for a few missions then your back in the regular timeline with your new toon
and then suddenly we are suppose to help a other universe Tilly and then she betrays us and then..
It just gets messy, I am beginning to think that it is just people throwing in ideas instead of working
on ONE storyline. As new materia shows up then they are added, not so seemless as it may seem.
Its like we are getting 3 or 4 different views until we are back at the hurq invasion and then something new
thread, new universe is added.
I know there is at least 3 different timelines thats in play and it makes it confusing to try and keep track of all
3 storylines.

As far as the time line stuff. It all happens in the primary timeline of the game.
All the crossover stuff isn't anything Temporal, unless changing from one time zone to another is a Temporal event. It's all dimensional crossovers.
xeah, i mean if i had would start a new disco char would the tilly parts be before daniels ? yesterday i have to choose them after in was in the future
This is alos assuming that Disco Tilly and Mirror Tilly existed at the same time. There is no evidence at all to say this is what's happening.
With how the Mirror Universe works, you have to consider the opposite of your charater, or any character. So, what would the opposite of a Starfleet Captain be? A Planetary ground pounder, in this case, a police officer at best.
So if you ignore the contradiction of how they set it up. Where the individual is the opposite of their Prime counterpart, only in personality. Leeta being the only real example of being the opposite of her Prime counter part. The it makes understanding that a Prime and Mirror counterpart not existing at the same point in the two separate timelines easy to understand.
Different dimensions(universes), different timelines.
For example, the Kelvin Timeline is in their TOS period at the same time as where we are in the Prime Timeline. Meaning the MU's timeline is no different. So by removing the assumption that Prime and Mirror counterparts exist at the same point and time in both timelines. Then Mirror Tilly appearance becomes a lot more plausible for the story arc.
After this you do 'Simulations' of historic events in Discovery missions, unlike a Discovery starting Captain for who these events are real before Daniels grabs you up and you start the normal story, similarly as a TOS Captain you start in TOS and get dragged into Daniels plans real quick, which is probably better than being dead, but otherwise it's the same story. You're just a bit more time travel oriented.

For Age of Discovery, the story is a little disjointed if you're a anything but a DSC character.
- "Secrets" and "Downfall" occur for everyone in the 25th century as historical simulation (think of every episode prior to the Gamma Quadrant arc for Dominion).
- Discovery starfleet characters have the above episodes as part of their natural progression, before jumping forward in time.
- The arc is unfinished for the time being, as J'Ula hasn't been dealt with yet.
For Mirror of Discovery, the story happens AFTER the events of the Gamma Quadrant arc, so you're in 2410, but so is Mirror Tilly. While the Discovery is sent back in time, she remains a threat.
What's basically going on is that the devs are wanting to avoid just staying on one storyline from beginning to end in order to avoid arc fatigue on themselves. As long as we get Star Trek shows, we'll likely be in this... disjointed bit of story release.
Except that DSC characters do Mirror immediately after arriving in the future for some reason...so for them it somehow takes place before anything else.
I guess Cryptic assumes players are idiots and that those with DSC toons will forget and be confused and angry by Tilly recognizing them unless it happens within 20 minutes of creating the character.
Yeah, filler content, do TFO, grind DIL, rinse repeat... gotcha...
Well, on the bright side there. If things are still on schedule that Cryptic put out. Then we should be receiving a new Ground TFO next month. I believe it was set on Pahvo.
Well we might be able to say we've made it to 2411. They had stated in a live stream that New Frontiers was suppose to kick off 2411. However, they dropped Beyond the Nexus toward the end, which rooted the arc in 2410. We can pretty much make a safe assumption that everything after New Frontiers happens in 2411.
Only story arc removed from the episode list right now, is the Breen arc. Which I believe if for remastering. But you can still find the mission in the available tab of the quest journal.
To add on to this, only the Klingon War episodes, some of which feature B'Vat and Miral Paris, are slated to be remastered in the future.
Am begining to see why Archer got anoyed with Daniels messing with him and the timeline, hes starting to see more like a menice.
