Okay I blasted through all The Missions of The Latest series ... ready for Episode 4 tommorrow.

I must say The Story is incredible. The cut scenes are Really INCREDIBLE. The Voice Dialogue and Cutscenes made this Episode great. I feel if other missions did the same... I would find them a great deal more fun to play.

Great Job Cryptic Im sucked into this awesome series. The other two I cut short. Was getting sick of PvE, plus didnt like reading all that dialogue. Did a mission or two but this one surely got my attention and interest. But this mission is totally different and MUCH more interesting.

The only thing I would change would be to give us more options during the mission. I hated having to eliminate the Romulan commander. I wish there was a option for a peaceful solution. I know if your of a certain diplomacy rank you could but I really wish you guys open those options to everyone.

Great job on the series guys!

Played until 2:59 AM EST... 1 Minute before the servers shut down lol

    If you haven't played to the end of the Breen series, it's pretty great.

    Wasn't a fan of the end of the Devidian series, it was too short for me

    This Romulan series I'm sure is going to be brilliant, wonder if we'll get to meet Sela

    I think it was the Ophidian cane from the Time's Arrow episode

    I want to get back to The Breen mission but the storyline didnt interest me too much. Maybe its because I didnt read the dialogue carefully, but I plan on returning to it though. Honestly though the voice acting in this weekly series really pulled me in. The cut scenes on top of that really wowed me. I know its alot of work for Cryptic to do those, but it really paid off. Love it and I plan to tell all my work buddies how INCREDIBLE this weekly is.

    Wish I could still get it... I think they took it out of circulation right?

    That thing has saved my TRIBBLE more than a few times.

    Speaking of which - we really need to have a re-run weekend so you can get that limited edition reward again. Maybe I could get the ball rolling on this after the Foundry goes live to Holodeck.

    My computer crapped out on me recently, thus I was only able to play the first new episode. I really enjoy all the weeklies though, and it's made me come back to play STO, it's one of the best idea's the Dev's came up with... (though I think Zink had a huge part in that...)

    How will that happen, will it be through mission replay? Or hasn't it been decided yet, just out of curiosity

    That post just made me really happy. I might actually play my klingon!

    We have several ideas on this..

    It will most likely be through episode replay where you replay the whole series and get the reward again for a limited time.

    However we could even re-run the whole series week by week and add something different in the re-run of the series that wasn't there the first time... just depends on time. We have a ton of stuff to do for Season 4 release and Foundry.

    Dan do you have a ballpark eta on when The Foundry is planning on coming to Holodeck. I cant wait to start making episodes. Very interested in doing some cool ones like Wolf 359, time travel episodes too.

    Mr Stahl, if you make the Ophidian Cane available again, could you also make the Breen BO available too?

    I've made a few more alts since that series came out, and I wouldn't mind getting some for those.

    My friend and I ran through the Devidian Series trying to get that cane before the Romulan Series started only to find out that you had to beat it before season 3 came out. We did it the day after season 3 released.:(

    We ALMOST had the Foundry back on TRIBBLE around 5pm, but found a publishing bug that postponed the switch until we can get a fix. My best ETA right now is sometime early next week it'll be back on TRIBBLE.

    The team is reaeaaallly itching to get this on HOLODECK soon - so I wouldn't be suprised if there was a huge bug bash and we hit it out of the part sometime shortly after the Romulan Feature Series ends in March.

    Fingers crossed, best of luck to you.

    Don't bash the bugs, totally EXTERMINATE them :D

    Ohhhh Like buying the DVD so you can get Alternate Endings or Deleted Scenes! Very nice! I won't expect them all to be like that due to development time but I likey.

    With the missions already in place, how difficult would it to be to rerun them as a weekly where each "rerelease" is remastered (ala Stranded in Space)?

    Can you not and just put it on the C-Store instead?

    Or in addition to?

    we could probably do both - but we really want to provide the items as incentive to play the content, so no promises this will happen.

    Any kind of In-Game only reward should "never" be put on the C-Store IMO

    You guys really need to do this. Maybe do it as a tri-series thing where every three series, you allow players a week / 2 weeks to get the final reward again.

    THat way there is a=enough space in between them. To be honest, I only expect three series a year so it could work out very well.

    I like the use of TV and movie monikers, myself. :) Some might think that is cheesey. But I think it's fun.

    STO On-Demand = Episode Replay
    STO Re-mastered = Remastered story episodes that Gozer is fixing up.
    Producer's Edition = Deleted Scenes and alternate endings you mention. (Think TMP Director's Edition. Use those storyboard ideas that didn't make it to the release of the arc due to original time constraints.)
