  • I can say definitively that I turned in a couple of birds from an earlier event and I did not see Iconian marks as a choice. I was specifically looking for it. Now, I'll allow that maybe I missed it even though I was looking for it. I'll try again when I get a chance.
  • My guess would be that some of the movement-affecting traits and/or passive spec abilities are kicking in when they're not supposed to. Another possibility is "Frosted Boots", but I thought they fixed that. Let's see what the Devs say.
  • That explains the aroma... NO BEANZ 4 U!

  • 50 Lobi crystals will get you the whip. My Ferengi character's got one. The D'Kora is a different animal. Always wanted one, never had the credits to buy one off the Exchange and never got that lucky with a lockbox. I'm not crazy about the looks of the Nandi, would much rather it looked more like a D'Kora, but for the sake…
  • We were always going to beat them with cheese. The only thing we don't know for sure is what kind of cheese.

  • Your best bet is to pick a spot on the eastern beach and stay there until it opens up. It's farther away from where people spawn in, so slightly less competition. The site should have the normal interact animation (on the bucket, I think?) when it's available. If you don't see that, someone's probably working the site and…
  • True, but even Rom and Nog had materialistic streaks and they're about as atypical as you can get for a Ferengi based on everything the shows said about them. There's nothing wrong with ascribing generalizations as long as there is a basis in fact and as long as it doesn't result in discrimination against people. (People,…
  • This would be lovely. (Allowing Ferengi players to take sides like the Roms do) It would also be wonderful if STO had unique starter missions for each of the KDF races because, as it has been pointed out, they do not all have the Klingon mindset and culture. I want that myself. That said, highly unlikely to ever happen. I…
  • If it's at all like last year, you have to have the event "mission" in order to build a sand castle. Not sure it's necessary to actually go visit "sandcastle guy". There should be an interaction button when the event is live, similar to when the hunt is available yet you don't have to actually visit the contact to start…
  • Up until now, there were few things in STO I felt the need to filter. There is combat, but it's not gory and it is, after all, about a war. My acceptance of some aspects of STO does not oblige me to accept every other aspect and I do indeed limit what my kids play. . I support your right to your opinion. I do, however,…
  • I'm going to say that I am a little disappointed by the House Pegh storyline. I've only played it part way through so far, so I can't comment on everything. I may have more comments later. SPOILERS FOLLOW!!!! What should have been a moving story about the sacrifice one man makes to stand against evil and save others was…
  • Quoted for truth. It's not just being a decent human being... it's also the rule. Opinion... good. Debate... good. Atomic Wedgie... bad.
  • FYI... Seems to be fine as of the last time I played.
  • I think Cryptic is missing a major cash cow and lots of repeat logins by not creating some kind of tournament system, or putting things into PvP that would let the community run its' own tournaments. With no real leaderboard and no tiered competition, the whole thing is just another way to kill time (and the opposition).
  • But YOU are not the player this thread is attempting to engage. As a customer, you're perfectly willing to shun the product if they don't give you what you want... and that's fine. The people who are suggesting monetary incentives for Cryptic to develop PVP don't want to shun the product. They're desperate for a reason to…
  • I have alts. I believe my condition is ADOCD.
  • My KDF Science captain is quite happy in her Intel qib (awesome ship, imo), but she'll be happier in a T6 BoP. Just seems to me that they want to keep Sensor Analysis and Subsystem Targeting a Fed distinctive, just like the Romulan Battlecloak and Singularity Core is distinctive for Romulans. Unfortunately, they haven't…
  • Does it really stretch belief that levelling prior to level 50 might be considered too fast and levelling from 50-60 might be considered too slow? The Devs flat out told us they intended level 50-60 to go slower. And it does. There are missions you need in the DQ that are level gated. Not high enough level? Can't advance…
  • The premise of this thread has been that if there is a financial incentive to concentrate on PvP, then PvP will get attention. It would have been nice if PvP had gotten more attention up till now. The reality is, that it hasn't appeared to have gotten much Dev attention compared to other parts of the game. The attention it…
  • The thread is about a specific video. If you have not seen the video, how can you make any legitimate observation about it? It's just common sense. I'm not even suggesting that everybody go watch every video RyanSTO's ever made. Frankly, I don't care whether anybody does. If you don't want to, don't. But I am getting…
  • Captains, May I remind you that throwing insulting comments around -- including insinuating that people are trolling -- is against forum rules. If someone posts a comment that violates forum rules, please report it. Do not respond to, or quote it.
  • Captains, I feel that this thread is drifting somewhat off topic. Not entirely, but edging in that direction. I don't think the video was intended to be a referendum on DPS in STO and what Cryptic ought to do about it. That's a side discussion that's taking over the thread. I would like to suggest that people watch the…
  • Oh, sure. The thread title was not meant to be serious. I even put in a winky and made a joke about edible tricorders. The real news here is that they have a potential product that can be made from renewable resources and does not result in nearly as much contamination when it's disposed of. Who would have ever thought you…
  • Reminder... Discussion of moderation is very specifically not allowed under forum rules. If you have an issue with moderation that you believe is unfair, you can either open a support ticket or bring it to the Community Manager's attention. It is not open for further discussion on the forums. We will never publicly reveal…
  • Well, yeah. Also, it would prevent people from putting together sub-optimal builds. I'm not saying it's the greatest idea ever and I already know there will be those who don't like it. There are still holes, like Specializations and Traits that potentially tip the playing field toward unbalance. And, nothing really…
  • I have an idea, but it's not a small one. Selling "PvP Packs". New queue on a new map. Let's leave it at Space PvP for the moment. Said queue has an option to turn on "PvP Pack Only". Or, queue only allows players to join if they have a PvP Pack. What, you may ask, is a PvP Pack? Basically, it would be a combination of the…
  • If the new ship can fully benefit from the "Friends in High Places" Lobi gear, I'd be ecstatic. Also shocked, because my expectation would be completely the opposite. I could maybe see it being able to slot the Battle Module console if you already have it, though. Really looking forward to the blogs on this one.
  • You are aware that this is a server-based game, right? Aside from that, accusations of hacking -- which is against the ToS -- is serious business and hacking's not to be discussed on the forums per forum rules. So I'm going to close the door on that right now. Stop throwing around public accusations you can't back up, and…
  • Monster play with a twist. I like it. {evilgrin} Not sure how you promote it enough to make money at it and still keep it a secret, though. On a more serious note, can't see secretly trolling the queues as a good thing.
  • Pretty impressive. This thread got more posts after it 'died' than it got the first time around. But, you know what happens when you let zombies go. Let one zombie escape and pretty soon you've got more of them running around. [Pulsewave Forum Phaser Mk XIV [+Mod][-Necro]] ZAP! There. If you guys want to start a new thread…
