Of course they rejected it. Do you really expect someone would admit that their idea (the work they get paid for) is bs and some spotty teenager has a much better alternative? I think we should just wait and see. If cryptic numbers (whatever they count - probably only bank balance) go up - they did the right thing. If not…
I didnt like the mission. The whole concept of - wait 1 minute to start, wait 10 minutes until dread spawns, kill dread, get rewards, failure not possible - was demotivating. Also the rewards where low - considered the time spent to get it. maybe it looked nice on paper - and with hand picked, pre made teams it was kind of…
Increased difficulty -> increased rewards (less grind) of course. quite the same as we have today with normal and elite mode. but today everyone is playing elite because of the increased rewards. doesnt matter if one is able to contribute or has the skill to support the team. Or in other words the carrot. I miss the…
I would really like to know why a fresh max-level character and one who spent hundreds of hours at endgame SHOULD play together - especially in a elite-pug (or also in pug-pvp). Why not balance teams, scale content difficulty on team/gear performance and let the power creep flow? With this mantra (close the gap, favor the…
My final words to this bs-idea: when this goes live i see no need to do more reps. means much less grind, mission (re)plays and also time spend in the game. powercreep may be a problem. but why should a 500 dps newb be able to team up with a 40k dps player? First balance teams, then balance content and scale the difficulty…
confirmed. @cryptic: as a hot-fix i would suggest to replace this with the original mirror invasion. at least this was well tested, working and fun to play.
Arc - i will not use it until i am forced to do so. And when this happens - i won't use it either. In my opinion arcs only purpose is to be a [insert fancy buzzword] bloatware for pwe marketing issues. Don't need it. Don't want it. Won't ask Questions here - so a poor henchman isn't forced to lie.
I'd really like to hear how you are testing ... things. Please tell us the story of a new game-breaking bug from the beginning at his birth, the way to the live system until his end - either by fixing it after announcing as fixed three times in different patch notes or by finally declaring it "working as intended".
I don't think Ask Cryptic is a fail because of the questions. When then it failed because of the questions picked and the meaningless, non-informative answers given. Sure, it's much more satisfying to let the company or the person in charge shine than answer tough questions about how so many game breaking or fun killing…
The whole area looks very nice and is really beautiful designed. But i dont like the whole arc - and with "dont like" i mean i will skip the whole part when i hits holodeck unchanged (assuming the rewards - some may call it compensation - wont change). Its just too much of the old,well known pew pew - running around and…
No T5 allied ships for romulans - i'm fine with that. but - why lower tier ships? No, really .. why? As some smart people said: If you want to fly a fed/kdf ship, play a fed/kdf char - or not using a romulan ship would make you feel that your giving some of your fire power away And if romulans are an own faction - such…
my 2 cents: i think putting back fm wouldnt change anything right now. this was just the last drop. the real problems are laying much deeper - in my opinion they are: - massive grinding - very poor designed and boring repetitive missions/events - reuse/copy-paste of (already bugged) code and selling this as something new -…
Well, I really would like to call it Service Pack 1 But it will be like all super big fascinating and amazing (did i forget to mention awesome?) new ... i think they call this content: When it goes live it will feel incomplete, full of bugs and broken. and there will be cool stuff like running around, klicking on things or…
I can't agree with that. Just think of doing pug and being blessed with two afk-leechers (yeah, happens). Nobody wants to grind for them and nobody would want to have a 24 hour ban. Same if you join with two or three noobs (not newbs by the way - noobs dont read chat and just ignore everyting, particulary a good advise). I…
just for the bigger picture: i usually refuse to play further/quit elite stf missions when i team up with afk-leechers or ... noobs doing dumb stuff or are just not prepared for elite stfs - like constantly dying when (unsuccsessfully) trying to bring a shield on a single sphere down. Oh - and i dont blame them joining…
