  • It was never that big a problem for me, tbh. But relatively recent additions changed that. On the ground, the lightning effect of the recent set and in space especially the pink jellyfish are a real distraction. And yes, in general it's definitely too much visual spam going on, even just my own effects are annoying for me,…
  • I mean, all these stories were cut in an effort to stream-line the main storyline, so that it can be played faster. While I don't agree with that approach, just re-inserting them would go against why they were removed in the first place. I won't deny that some missions weren't particularly good or actually a drag, but…
  • It's always funny how people will apply the most ridiculously restricted interpretation of the term "pay-to-win." ANYTHING that lets you buy power in a game is pay to win. Whether you think it works or not, whether you think you can't actually win or not. It's about the intention of the item, not about how tightly you can…
  • Oh what a pity if whales actually had to play for rewards, instead of just buying :-)
  • Come on, it's not like this will be incredibly hard to fix. You want to keep a player base, you must at least do basic maintenance and fix the most annoying bugs.
  • Lol. Reading comments about people being worried about the Gearbox Acquisition, in what way could they make anything worse? The game is full of PTW, what regular players spend time and effort on to get, whales can simply buy in mere minutes, the new content is for the most part just adding a new paint coat over the same…
  • It especially starts to wear thin, once you realize that it is the classical way of so-called free-to-play-MMORPGs to create a problem and then offer a solution that people can purchase with actual money. That's the way it's done everywhere, whether Perfect World or Gameforge or whatever. The moment those sales happen is…
  • This. When you geniuses decided to allow the use of T6 ships from the start, everything below Tier 5(upgradeable to Tier 5U) became completely worthless. I wouldn't even want to buy those with EC, let alone Dilithium or Zen. You can bet this comes because they realized NO ONE bought any Tier 1-4 ships from the Zen Store…
  • (Flaming, trolling comments moderated out. - BMR)
  • Ugh. I'm so disappointed with the snail pace and can't even begin to hope the update will be worth any wait. As long as they don't start a special reward event, like with the previous attempts to force us to create new characters, I have zero drive to continue playing with my Discovery toon. I mean, I'd rather grind points…
  • In which game are two story missions an arc? Hence I wrote that it was a joke apart from the ship. The ship isn't bad, though I agree with you on the level cap.
  • I'm very disappointed with this new season. They removed several missions (and yes, the Klingon War arc was too long, I admit that) and all you get is a new tutorial and two short, small missions, then you're dumped to the current era spacedock. What exactly is my motivation to go and play these same storylines for a…
  • Of course the fact that the meme itself is riddled with errors could be seen to either emphasize or destroy its message completely. ;)
  • And we are down again. New Season, new unplanned downtime. I detect a theme here. ;)
  • And I know this was a long time ago, I just had another exchange with Cryptic Support that went about the same way, which reminded me of that incident and I even wrote that in the OP. The point of my little anecdote was that they aren't even trying. THEY REMOVED THE MISSION AND STILL TOLD ME IT WAS A BUG AND I SHOULD…
  • Guys, you really don't get sarcasm, do you? Of course you needn't be smart or competent to accept the mission, that was kind of the point why I thought the whole removal of the repeatable mission thing was pointless. And back when that exchange happened, I was just curious because the mission had simply vanished, it…
  • It's great to see the game on consoles and I understand that you are doing all these promos and giveaways for it, but it would be nice if at least some of them were eligible for PC players and non NA residents as well. I mean, it does feel a bit as if now that the consoles are here, pc players get relegated or something.…
  • Lol. What kind of a tool are you? There was no exploit. This is just the usual, all the players are idiots, therefore we must make games for idiots and while we're at it, lets actually punish the players who take their time to get to know the game. I try to be positive and I'm definitely bored by all those people here or…
  • So much this. Not everybody is smart enough to add this mission, therefore we make it so that no one gets any reward, thereby making foundry missions almost completely uninteresting reward-wise for the foreseeable future. It's been months now! Months. Sorry, but this sucks and is no way to treat your players and completely…
  • What I get from the explanation is that they a) massively dumbed it down, a trend in RPGs that I hate anyway and b) they eliminated a lot of the options to make your character unique and removed a lot of the choices and decisions you could make. Some might think this is a good thing and I personally reserve judgement for…
  • It has nothing to do with whining, when they can't even make it clear how their giveaways work. Every 24 hours, there is nothing to misunderstand about this. It's just plain wrong on their side. They made false post. Not to mention that twice the items were gone before the time that cryptic gave out, and one of those with…
  • I didn't have the time to claim the 2 free Promotional Tech upgrades yesterday. So I planned to get them today, only to find out that the server was down due to an emergency patch and bugfix. When I logged into the game after the downtime, the upgrades were already gone and replaced with the next promo gift. I know PW and…
  • This might be just a minor issue, but I didn't take the free Two Enhanced Universal Tech Upgrades yesterday, as I wasn't playing with the toon I wanted to use them on. Was going to do that right now and find out there's an emergency maintenance going (as far as I see) on past the time I could still claim those upgrades.…
  • Anyone else still having trouble logging in? I reach the character selection, but when I select one, I get the empty background, not the usual loading screen and after a while I get login Error2.
  • STO won against SWTOR ages ago, in my book. I prefer basically everything in STO, character creation, story, pvp, instances... The only thing that was slightly better when i still regularly played SWTOR was crafting. And that's coming from someone who only rarely buys zen and never subscribed to STO, but 2 years for SWTOR.…
  • To be honest this thing with the haggle missions and "Ghosts of the Jem'Hadar" chain is ridiculous. I don't think solutions as the ones mentioned above are acceptable. How friggin' hard can it be to fix those map issues? New content is great and making new ships for those who collect everything is important to PW and…
  • I'm all for it, it's a mess as it is.
  • Great, due to the extensive patching last wednesday, I was only able to make the run on thursday, but I don't remember exactly when. How will I be able to run the mission one last time before the featured episode promo runs out on thursday this week?
  • Same here, but at least the patch is finally loading. :)
