Further to that, you can still get to the Ceron patrol through the galaxy map normally, but it's the old Ceron patrol not the new one. Is this intentional? Are the new patrols ONLY through the patrol menu and the old patrols the ones you get through the map????
I read between the lines a (very) little bit in the conversation I had with her, as she still had a few weeks to go in her internship. But besides that, no, what I posted isn't conjecture. it's an accurate account. And this account is from who.... Cryptic? Ok. Well, this part I might buy. Everyone with good ideas seems to…
Well, I had my post deleted in about 3 seconds. Well done. No, it just got eaten by the incompetent anti-spam bot. -- WingedHussar Here's the lowdown on why this is happening. Hope this post survives. ST:D's biggest problem has been that the traditional core Star Trek fans pretty much hate it. So CBS has been dropping a…
Well, if they want to increase sales, which is what this is about, they might want to let you choose. People who want the faction-version of those ships will already have them. Letting people choose will open the door to more sales as those people get the Verne.
There is a really, REALLY easy solution to that problem. Which is to publish an event, and then stick to it. How hard is that, really? How hard is it to say three weeks in advance there is going to be an upgrade weekend, and then just do it? The increasing player toxicity came from people making actual decisions on what…
You know what would be a great QoL improvement isn't adding "features" to loadouts, it would be if loadouts actually just worked as advertised. Loadouts have been broken since inception. Ever try and have loadouts swap consumables? You click save, switch to another and back only to find the original consumable is there. Or…
...enormously eroded the buying power of the monthly 500 Zen you get. When this started, 500 or 1000 Zen would buy something. Now Cryptic has their hands out to claw Zen for everything... buyouts, the new bundles, Mudd's store. Ships that are in the $150USD range. The amount of things which cost Zen has increased, as has…
But they kept the daily XP limits the same, so this is exactly useless. It boggles my mind there are daily XP limits anyways. But to have a double XP weekend and keep the same limits... I was actually excited for this event.
The mission was hum drum. Part One was basically a rehash of the Hassan mission. Part two, well, running through a linear maze (even the places where there are multiple doors have just one door opening), with the "oh no, I need to hack this console, you need to protect me" trope (more like tripe) was totally underwhelming.…
It shouldn't really be a surprise to anyone that the patch was defective. STO has been a barely held together cobbled piece of spaghetti code for a long time. Unless it's an active money-generating change, fixes just don't get done. They actually admitted that the forge was taken out because they couldn't maintain it -…
Cryptic's own admission that they don't have the talent to maintain their own code is more troubling than the removal of content. The removal of content has been ongoing and pervasive. Actual mission content ripped out, relegated to secondary status, or hidden where they hope people will forget about it so it can get…
Nice argument. First of all, Cryptic has made major changes to address balance. Some of those changes made it through testing into announcement and then not into the game just because of the PvP effects. Secondly, I can drop "us" into the converstation too. Those of us who do like to PvP find that the game can be, for the…
That's the whole point. It's not that it's a singularly devastating ability in that it will by itself kill my opponent. It's that its power-to-weight ratio is so high, so to speak, that it forces people to either a) get it, or b) respond with much much costlier replies. If, at the cost of a single racial personal space…
Negative. This has no effect on any of my characters. I have performed multiple hourly and daily projects in the same rep on the characters that should be recipients of that rep's discount and it has no effect. There aren't any items on any character which are supposed to get the discount which are getting it. The discount…
You were completely not understanding the report. Perhaps I was unclear. The clear intention for the discount is that if I complete tier 6 on, say the Lukari rep on Character1 on my account, and then go ahead and purchase the account-wide discount, that Character2 and Character3 on that same account should now also enjoy…
No, buying the discount in one rep does not apply that discount to all other reps. You have to buy the discount in each rep. The phrase "account-wide" has a very specific meaning in the game - we all know what it means. Saying "account-wide" and then have it be a "store account" is just ridiculous wording. That wording…
There are other random items where the discounts don't apply on the alt that purchases the discount, and the dicounts also aren't applied to other alts, even though it's supposed to be an "account-wide" discount.
>Cryptic Said: >"This season brings with it a brand new Featured Episode Remember when a season had half a dozen or more episodes? Now seasons just bring another grind. Yay. So excited.
