  • That still means a lot of time and/or resources and loging-in every day to play the mining game with like 4 characters every day...
  • Where do you even get Dilithium anymore? STFs don't give a lot anymore and the advanced modes are hardly played and have a long CD. Maybe battle zones? But even then you have to play for hours just to get the 8500 unrefined it seems. It is pretty obvious, that they are trying to increase the incentive to BUY dilithium with…
  • What, you all did grind the WRONG boring patrols? What gives? :P Yeah, classic game designer fail. You don't give your players interesting content, but boring grind content instead. And when they then walk the path of least resistance by using boring grind content, that works faster, you have to shut it down. :rolleyes:
  • Wow, so fast? Never mind then... :rolleyes:
  • Don't worry, they have to nerf the STFs anyway. If all you have are grind mechanics and then you make the actual grind a chore, people will just leave your game.
  • I argued that before : Cryptic tires to get short term gain but ignores the repercussions it will have in the long run. The result of all the reps and upgrade stuff that takes you months and months and unbelievable amounts of resources will be, that people will stop playing alts and new players won't get into the game at…
  • The core problem with the STF is that in the end, you have to grind them over and over again. So even IF the advanced version would be fun at first, after a while they would become annoying. Since there is no fun in them either way, people just want them to be over as quickly as possible, so that they can get their loot.…
  • The whole rep system is a mess in my opinion. It is shortsighted and fundamentally flawed. It may look like a pretty ingenious system on Cryptics part at first. It keeps the players playing, even though it doesn't make much fun and Cryptic can easily add stuff to it in regular intervals, to keep the treadmill running. BUT…
  • I almost completely ignored the crafting system so far, now I wanted to start with it, saw the numbers and just had to laugh. This is such a pathetic system They obviously want you to spend as much dilithium to cut down the waiting time as possible. But since people aren't stupid, a lot of people didn't push R&D, because…
  • Good luck getting two builds for your ship and swap them out just for the CE with all the upgrading TRIBBLE that is going on now... ;)
  • Even if you not that much of a casual, you won't get them without a good group.
  • Exactly! Instead of more STFs we effectively have less and with less I mean ONE STF left that is played above the normal difficulty by a sizable amount of players. You just have to LOGIN to see what is played and by how many people. The PvE queue list ist FULL of stuff that literally NO ONE EVER plays. How about fixing…
  • You just don't, because Cryptic isn't thinking straight. :D Now you have to grind one reputation to get the items necessary to grind the next, it is rather ridiculous. Even with my well equipped ship the advanced STF constantly fail, because a lot of people don't know, what they are doing. You can't hide the items you need…
  • How would that explain his shield being stronger when it was just MK XIII?:rolleyes:
  • Yeah, the expansion isn't stellar, that is for sure. Cryptic made some big mistakes in terms of game mechanics. New level cap: Actually it isn't really a new level cap, you just get specialization points and maybe a slight stat change here or there New difficulties: Would have been a nice idea, but is badly executed, now…
  • The Advanced versions seem to be somewhat of a failure. They probably shouldn't have touched the old elite versions much. Just increase the heath and damage slightly and it would have been okay. Then call it advanced and add a higher Elite mode for good groups. Now one Borg STF is gone entirely and the other one is hardly…
  • HP seem to rise from 40k to 46k right of the bat on level 50 and then go to 53.333 or something aroung those lines. You also get an additional engi console slot putting the overall console count up to 11 and the ship mastery skills are: Level 1: +5% Accuarcy Level 2: -15% cooldown on singularity power use and +30%…
  • I don't think that is really the case, but it would actually be fair and balanced, if the Feds had at least a small bonus in hull and maybe shield strength (I writing this as someone with an Romulan toon as his main).
  • The Space Battle Zone is utterly broken BTW.
  • I restarted to play STO a couple of weeks back, pushed my main toon through the rep grind and then made a Romulan toon and pushed him through the reps. I won't do the reps with my other two toons any way, so I'm probably as prepared, as I can be and honestly: There isn't much to do in the game anyway. I play like the Borg…
  • As someone who hasn't played on Tribble that actually makes hope that S9 could be decent enough. More good PvE content is what this game needs the most.
  • Well, Cryptic just doesn't have the means, to improve the game.
  • D'Deridex, easy pick
  • There simply shouldn't be any "collapsing particle" in this in the first player. The only way the could this make more annoying would be by putting in an insult in the message, like: "The particle collapsed, keep looking you stupid dumbass! :P" I mean really: WHY do they exist? Do they add ANYTHING to the quest except…
  • Yeah, I have played most missions more than three times now. Specially if there is better reward, you have to play them like three times with the same character. So if you have three characters or more, that adds up.
  • But this quest is IN the game. It is not like someone is demanding a special quest for Romulans, that doesn't exist. ;) I can understand if Cryptic says "Well, the Romulans can get the Fed or KDF DOff already, so getting a second one would be unfair." but then they should delete the Romulan Quest.
  • Cryptic should fix bugs? ARE YOU CRAZY? They have to redesign the ESD, it is sooo important, specially since almost everything just works in the ESD we have right now, so they clearly have to implement tons of bugs and glitches by redesigning it!
  • What the game needs is more interesting PvE quees in my opinion. People still play like the same Borg STFS they played for years now. Most other tries to make similar interesting PvE content just failed and instead of tweaking them, Cryptic just left them for dead. So now we have really long list of PvE Queues with like 5…
  • The event was just frustrating. Even so you couldn't fail (and thank god for that!), it was just annoying getting CONSTANTLY interrupted from "somewhere". A favorite of mine where those "echo torpedos" launched by a ship, that was destroyed ages ago, long lost and forgotten by everybody, but which interrupted you just a…
  • Will this be another "click until the answer written in green appears" dialog? Honestly: This has to give players REALLY good rewards or it will be just another entry in the PvE list that shows a "0" in the "players playing this right now" slot. Having to repeat dialogs during dungeons or instances that you have to play…
