  • I know, as that's exactly what I've been doing, that was until I found my AoD couldn't get the account rewards. I thought it was down to Cyptic adding those TFO wrappers to it, but having just ran romulan minefield and azure nebula (sorry to those that got dragged into those with me) to clear the first two story arcs on my…
  • That's the problem, my AoD toon got the Wasteland reward from the Temporal recruit, but the rest of those story arcs all now have atleast one TFO mission wrapper in them, and I believe they are blocking me from accessing those rewards. Not FCUKing happy about it either.
  • Same way a lvl14 can do Starbase One & Azure Nebula, Cryptic have reduced the requirements for atleast the normal maps, on them you get boosted to lvl45. And Yes I know I said I wasn't ever doing group content in STO, but this shower of idiots (points at Cryptic) have broken the story arc rewards from my Delta & Temporal…
  • Launcher has been updated, looks like 12:00 pacific time before the server is back up, which is about an hour from now. No real surprise it's taken so long, with the Arc network being down for maintenance, then STO's server techs would have to wait until Arc was finished before doing final testing on their servers.
  • It's been like that for a couple of years now for event ships, at lvl40 they have reduced hull and shield cap, they gain more once your toon hit's 50, and max out when you reach 60.
  • What level are the mobs you are killing, if they are lower than your own level then you aren't going to get much in the way of mastery XP from them. Argala is still giving out roughly 5k.
  • I think the idiots forgot to trigger it for those of us who have gone past lvl 11.
  • IIRC it's 900 marks, at T5 you unlock an account wide sponsorship, so it's only 30 days worth at 5000 points to get from 100,000 at T5 to the 250,000 at T6.
  • I'm an MMO vet, played more of them over the years than I care to remember, got to end game in most of them, PVP, group dungeons, raids, done it all. The dynamics of the player base started to really change, more and more players were turning up that just wanted to be carried through the content, more and more trolls were…
  • A small suggestion for PvP.......put it out of it's misery, put a bullet in it's head and bury it's corpse.
  • No real surprise to me, casual gamers just don't have the skills or mindset of a hardcore\UBER-Elite gamer. I class myself as a casual gamer, but my skills are better than the average casual gamer, yet even I have a hard time with some enemies when I'm using Mk12 VR gear at lvl 65. Like many players I use Argala to level…
  • Not quite, when you complete the T5 upgrade project you unlock an automatic sponsorship for your toon, so from that point on you will be getting 5000 rep points instead of the 2500, which means T6 will be complete in 30 days using 900 marks. Oh and it also unlocks an auto sponsorship for your account for each rep you get…
  • No idea why they do it like this, but they have been using it for about a year now, a certain Dental troll was the first one I noticed being hit with it.
  • I can see it if I click on your link, but I can't see it in the forums directly, despite his post count showing 1900 in that link his profile shows no posts or threads. I suspect he has been "shadow banned", he can still post it's just that staff are the only people that can see what he's posting without a direct link to…
  • I started back when the game went F2P, back then the best gear in game was the stuff you got from running the Borg STFs, so you had no choice but to run them if you wanted that gear. That isn't the case anymore, not only is there no "best gear in game" anymore, there is also so much mission, crafted, lockbox and fleet…
  • That's just it, I'm a "button pusher", I've never been able to learn from a manual or from watching a video, I have to learn by doing. But as someone who has been in the game modding and 3D rendering communities for roughly 20 years, I know that most people just can't learn things the same way I do. They need manuals or…
  • Been here since the game went F2P, yet even after all this time I still have issues understanding the space skill tree, most of my captains have been set up with what I think "feels" right for them. It's worked for most of them, they will never break any records, but in the content I play stuff dies and my toons usually…
  • As the omega marks are one of the hardest for me to get ( I don't do group content), so it's taken me a while to get enough marks and BNP to get a set. Just recently completed the 3 piece M.A.C.O. on one toon and the KHG on another, both unlocked a costume for the tailor, however on checking the rep projects a new costume…
  • That's down to the dil farmers, newer players hear that Dyson ground is one of the best places to get dil, and it's from shooting V-Rex, what they don't find out until later is that they don't get anything if they fail to secure the silo. Having an instance full of bots doesn't help either.
  • With the Origin bridge DH only has a small effect on seating and even then only under certain conditions. With this one it appears to be space seniority that determines which Boff sits where, with the Intel cruiser I have 5 space Boffs, 2 Tac, 2 Engi and 1 Sci, main Tac gets the slot right behind the captains chair, main…
  • Was using the same Sci Boff space and ground, so when I swapped the ground for another Sci that one shows up on the Origin bridge as well, so that's all six slots filled. Looks like department heads determine which slot they take, standing at the captains chair and looking at the view screen, just in front of it you have…
  • Trying to remember how it used to be, I think that when the Doff system came out the Boffs on the bridge were your department heads. But Cryptic changes something and for the longest time the only Boffs that ever showed up for me were my away team. Looks like they might have changed things again, with the Origin bridge you…
  • Dreading it TBH, I don't play anything that requires me to join a queue or be part of a team, so some marks can be hard to come by, the newest rep I can't get marks for it yet, hopefully they will add it to the multi choice box in time for the winter event.
  • I've long suspected that the hangar code and pet AI is a copy/paste of the lockbox Jem'hadar ships, I don't have them but apparently they work really well together. It's this that I suspect that is causing so many issues with the different ships and pet combos, that code works well for some, not to bad for others and down…
  • I wouldn't get rid of the queues completely, instead I'd keep them for private queues instead, that should remove the bots and AFKers, and leave the trolls with less places to annoy people. The reason the Dyson ground BZ is still popular is down to the fact the place is full of bots and dil farmers, there are certain times…
  • Depends on the captain, my AOY has the Temporal rep outfit, yet none of the BOFFs can wear it, doesn't matter if it's a 23c BOFF or a 25c BOFF it just doesn't show in any of the options. I'd recommend heading over to Tribble to test what outfits work before you "buy" them on the Holodeck.
  • TBH this T6 is just Cryptics attempt to breathe new life into their dead queues, wont work, couple of months after it goes live the queues will be just as dead as they are now. The problem Cryptic, is that most of this lot (waves at player base) are dilithium farmers, and for them it's all about rewards versus time, so to…
  • I don't play any content that requires me to que or to be part of a team, as a result some of the reps are a long slow grind to get enough marks just to complete them, so I'm not looking forward to redoing the grind to T6. I run the rep first on my Fed main, then sponsor my KDF main, just got enough marks from Risa to…
  • Huh!! I must be going senile in my old age, could have swore that build was full of Mk15 gear when I made that post.
  • I think you guys have missed/forgotten about ^^this^^, this basically means he has no resources, so your "budget" build is anything but, all that Mk15 Epic gear cost a lot of resources he probably wont have for many months. So you might want to start thinking about using mission rewards and rep gear instead, that way he'll…
