After 22 pages, two things are obvious: * They won't change it. * They can't fix it.
-
For those keeping score at home: * The landing page was bugged on release, popping up on every character login * This bug was fixed in a patch * The bug reappeared a while later * The bug was fixed again within a few days * The bug reappeared early this week * The bug seems to have been fixed once more This does not give a…

Sounds like Boldly They Rode was/is broken. As I said, it's not clear exactly what a player should do to avoid a problem there, and if they've fixed it, it hasn't been communicated in the patch notes. Storm Clouds Gather could also break, but it was fixed a few days ago. The new queue was broken, too, but it was fixed…

If that's true, why is each new patch billed as a fresh content pack rather than a continuation of the current expansion? But we have things like "Season N" and "Season N.5" instead of "More Of Agents of Yesterday's Content." I also play Rift (another F2P game), and each expansion has added a large continent with several…

After the patch today that was supposed to prevent the landing page from showing up on map transfers, the landing page is once again showing up every time I switch to a new character. It's one thing for the landing page to be useless, out of date, annoying, and primarily an advertisement, but it hasn't even worked as…

From the known issues in today's patch notes: Will this be fixed, or do I need to delete my KDF-aligned recruit and create a new Fed-aligned one?

Imagine how fun Tetris would be if it made you wait one minute before doing anything instead of starting immediately, spawned a new piece every few seconds instead of waiting for each piece to settle, cleared all pieces from the board every time it filled up instead of causing a game over, spawned pieces for exactly 11…

If I take a break and come back again, there will be items (weapons, consoles, ships, etc.) that I may want to use for whatever reason (like the DSD warp core for touring) but won't be able to acquire because they were only available during limited-time events. Such events run almost constantly, so I play continuously to…

I started playing because it's Star Trek with no monthly fee. I stopped playing for a year because I realized I wasn't playing a game so much as working a job to unlock a game. I came back from the break because it's Star Trek. I keep playing because if I'm away for more than a week I'll miss out on limited-time unlocks,…

Yes, I'm having to report pretty much everything coldnapalm says, along with several other trolling, unconstructive, or derailing posts. No, I would like the people who have nothing nice or constructive to say to leave. Did you notice how some posters were able to be courteous and constructive? Some of them had opinions…

Leveling at least one toon as a temporal agent during the event allows you to unlock account-wide bonuses. Once you have already made such a character, subsequent AoY characters provide no additional gameplay benefit. If you make them during the event and turn them into temporal agents, they can unlock the same character…

@askray @jodarkrider Could we get some moderation here? I'm really tired of seeing this thread spammed with trolling, derailing, and downright flaming.
-
Nice to meet you! Technical writer here, with an AA in Technical Writing and a BA in Communications. Looks like your argument from authority didn't work out too well, did it? =\ Sorry about that. Better luck next time! But please do it in someone else's thread.
-
You really think that a veteran player isn't trolling when he says that every faction has the same interface sounds except for AoY? Give me a break. "Annoying" isn't the half of it. I'm starting to wonder when the mods will show up to remove the people who are derailing this thread.
-
"No YOU have logic leaps!" Please behave like an adult. Company A says "this is an expansion" to tell customers what's being offered. Company B says "this is an expansion" to tell customers what's being offered. Then company B says "this is an expansion" but offers something that's noticeably different from what customers…

https://xkcd.com/169/ The point of language is communication.

Sorry, I'm not in the mood to pretend that you're being sincere and not trolling. Please find a different thread to troll. That goes for everyone who's being unconstructive and rude, by the way.
-
You're going with the generic dictionary definition of "expansion," which could apply to anything from a game to a chemical, rather than referring to expansion packs for MMORPGs like everyone else is? Why? What do you gain by being pedantic and contrary? and then you call it "small" nonetheless. So... you agree with me?…
-
You don't think Cryptic ever intended the expansion to meet the de facto definition of what an expansion is? Do you officially speak for Cryptic, or are you just guessing?
-
If you think it's pointless, why are you responding? Might as well leave it to people who do see the point, right? I didn't "invent" an "arbitrary" price tag. $40 is extremely common for expansions, and AoY is being called an expansion. Yes, it is a label, and words are used to communicate meaning. The reason for a…
-
And I'd just like to say that before AoY I jumped to avoid small obstructions and keep my speed up (especially with Frosted Boots), but now that AoY broke most of the ground animations, I jump constantly to see if I can determine the exact issue involved in the animation bug where repeated jumps don't animate and instead…

There is a difference between doing something that you know someone else hates, and only doing it to spite them. The use of smokescreen et al. is equivalent to getting a bunch of people with blue uniforms, making a "Blue Uniform Day," and following that blue-uniform-hater around, making sure that all they can see on their…

Rift charges for everything. They even moved rested XP to subscribers only. I have no idea how good the upcoming expansion will be, but it does sound like there will be a lot to do in it, and it could be good. What I'm interested in is AoY's quality and quantity, not its value per dollar (which is infinite, and not really…
-
Again, the issue isn't that people are arbitrarily choosing to get annoyed by the perfectly innocent actions that someone in no way intended to cause irritation. The issue is that people are using these items specifically to annoy people. The intent is malicious, and it's effective. You are lumping together the tools with…
-
That's an interesting perspective - that AoY is a partially B2P expansion already, with the ships and costumes being part of it, with the rest (tutorial, temporal spec, and broken animations) being a sort of "free tier." I hadn't thought of it that way. I wasn't clear; my apologies. Rift is currently touted as a…
-
Again, if you can't remotely behave yourself, please leave.
-
Keep in mind one very important difference between people who like to wear blue shirts and people who like to use smokescreen and other abilities to annoy other players: the former simply like to wear blue shirts, while the latter are specifically trying to annoy people. And you're not even just doing the equivalent of…
-
Again, if you have nothing to contribute but trolling, derailment, and "no u," please leave. I don't appreciate the disruption.
-
If all you have to say is "uh, no, YOU'RE a strawman! Ha!", I would appreciate it if you could please leave the thread instead of continuing to derail and harass. Thank you.
