I know it's been said many, many, many, many, many times before; however, it seems that no one at Cryptic is listening.
Open faction teaming is the best thing that could happen for STF missions.
I can't think of anyone in this MMO who believes that open faction teaming for STFs would be a bad idea.
Borg + Undine = Bad for both factions so why face them alone.
Klingon / Federation war aside; it makes no sense for both factions to not view the Borg or Undine has a greater threat to all.
Open faction teaming needs to happen and soon
Comments
Many have further argued for cross faction teaming for all mutual threats {like the weeklies}...and I would not mind this either...but certainly for encounters where grouping is forced, like the STFs, It would be nice...and certainly add flavor.
Perhaps the Devs can code Gamma Sector such that once any faction is there then teaming would be enabled...but not a generic send an invite to a friend on the other side of the galaxy {like we use to be able to until it was abused and ruined for all}.
So yes, they should be coded to allow KDF and Starfleet to Crossteam.
Gozer said in order to allow federation and klingon players to play toghther it requires a change at the core level and is not something easily done and would take alot of time and effort on the devs side to impliment so please can we lock this thread and one of the devs make a sticky so we can put these topics to bed once and for all
Also Romulan space should be open to klingons and Cardesia also should be open ...
And the Ambasedor missions should open up for klingon Faction as well
And I think the ting why romulans want to have borg parts . Klingons should fight that to because also it would be a great danger to the empire.
So Yes Some should open for both factions .
This is true, however just because they've said it requires a lot of core changes doesn't mean it shouldn't be discussed. Doing so would make the whole community a lot happier.
While actually being in a team has never been possible even during all of these bugs, it is these bugs that show us it is easily possible to be at least on the same side as far as the mechanics go. I remember being bugged in resource battles and fighting people from my own faction and unable to fight Klingons. I honestly can't imagine that it would take too terribly much work to allow different factions to team in specific instances, but I don't know what all is involved.
Either way, this is one more person who would greatly enjoy it. Not only as something different, or supporting the story, but something that would make the Klingon faction much more appealing to play.
I'm going to quote this.
I'm no saying lock the thread though. I'm saying that it will be and has been stated that there is a lot of coding involved. It's something that would take a lot of valuable resources and if a mistake is made, the unraveling of other things. One mistake could restir a whole lot of bugs.
Is this something you guys want?
we are allready fighting together in gamma orionis deep space encounters.
also, as someone else mentioned here before, it would be great to see cross faction fleet actions
make it so
A very good point!
I forgot all about thoese teaming bugs in pvp as a Klingon I found myself on Fed teams many times in some PVP matches and vice versa.
If a small bug can make cross faction teaming possible; I imagine Cryptic could do it has well
if some tech is required to get this to work then all ahead full cryptic programmers!
Still I hate that those 12% can't have a decent STF experience. I just don't want to sacrifice my storyline even further because of it.
Yes but the opportune words here are (your storyline) not the rest of ours :rolleyes:
The Klingon / Federation war can and will continue even if we were to team together to face the Borg and Undine.
Just out of curiosity how does (your storyline) spin the Cure or Infected?
First of all, thats a random number with absolutely no meaning. Secondly, YOUR storyline is that you side with the Klingons against the Borg. See: Battlegroup Omega, The Cure, Deep Space Encounters in Gamma Orionis, etc
To say nothing of Pelia and the fleet action there.
the game npcs themselves like the boss guy in the admirals office who obviously is the admiral cannot tell which faction you belong too as i have tested this 1st hand when my nausicaan was stuck on the fed side for nearly 2 weeks, you might remember me doin air guitar on the table near where you used to beam in.
sorry im ramblin on there
I think you have probably nailed the problem on the head, atm, there is no system for cross campaign ground combat and that would take awhile to implement. It's not so hard for space as we have the mechanics of DSE's already and KDF and Fed's work together there. But it's the perpetual question in gamma, and we probably wont see any changes in the cross faction missioning till at least season 4. I would assume with the upcoming Iconian content, if it is a persistent modification to the game, and supposedly the real big Bad of the game that cross campaign stuff would come into effect. But not atm.
