  • I'm an alien race in the Romulan faction. There's nothing at the bottom of my replicator list relating to doff abilities. Thanks for the help!
  • Start another toon and re-grind all that rep? Not going to happen
  • I'm not in a fleet and I don't think I should have to be to get a good STF going. I have a friends list, but it's rare to find 5 willing friends ready to do a STF at the moment I want to. Early on, I did 'use the tools' and left a STF that was plagued with an AFKer. I got the hour-long "leaver" penalty and the AFKer got…
  • (1) You don't need to have GMs monitoring every single STF - that was never suggested in any post in this topic, so I don't know why your position argues from that point. But a discussion on GM role is worthwhile. A bit of enforcement could go a long way. If Cryptic changed their position on AFKers, then all you would need…
  • OP chiming in. This is not a topic about whether or not AFK is allowed or not. Cryptic's passiveness on AFK already tells us it is allowed, or even encouraged (to increase challenge?) I'm trying to see if there's interest in buying something to help deal with it. Thanks anyway.
  • AFK players on STFs is commonplace - it's the norm. I believe I'm seeing players run automated scripts that re-spawn when needed and leave the mission when it's over. These scripts probably automatically queue as well Having five, active players is the exception and something that now surprises me. Given that the devs or…
  • Well, this turned out not to be true. My first full day of Gold has come and gone - no 500 point STO stipend. In addition, no skill respect token. And finally, no additional inventory space on 2nd character. Wow, just wow.
  • Clarity! Brilliant. Thank you.
  • My issue is not that I went over to Neverwinter and tried to use my STO 500 point stipend. The issue is straightforward: I subscribed to STO Gold and have yet to see my STO 500 stipend. Thank you for trying to help here.
  • Thank you for the suggestion; I acknowledge you're trying to help. In fact, I had finished the tutorial, and did not get the extra inventory slots. I have not checked the bank, but I would guess I did not get those either.
  • My experience? Did not get 500 stipend Started a new character - did not get additional inventory slots That's just what I found so far...
  • Sorry - I wasn't clear. I do see the "500 points" feature listed on the gold membership listing on the website, as you describe. I cannot figure out how to redeem it - that is, to have it available to me to spend - so it doesn't exist, in my point of view. Please don't tell me in need to wait until the first month ends...
  • What 500 point stipend? Saw your note - went back in game and on the store web site - saw no sign of a 500 point anything. I have unsubscribed - would have stayed subscribed if there was something in return, anything. Very strange business model. I'm a customer with money and Cryptic cannot put on something for me to buy.
  • I am new and just subscribed. All I can see is some more bank space, more inventory, and more slots for bridge officers. That's it. If there's more, it is not evident. I wasn't really needing any of the perks I got. I read that you can get skill re-spec tokens as you level, but I was already at level 50. All in all, I…
  • Thanks for all the insights and suggestions. The "ban" went away eventually. I had left the mission and instance "gracefully" -- that is, following the prompts from NPCs. I did not leave prematurely. I've played dozens of MMOs going all the way back to Asheron's Call. Never been banned in all that time.
  • I'm a new player who was considering a subscription - I am glad I happen to browse the forums and read that the subscription service doesn't work and my money would have been wasted. In fact, there are a couple other posts about people buying items, not getting them, and then getting banned when they try to stop payment.…
  • Let me do my best imitation of the trolls on this forum, and even in this thread ---- Dude! What? You're dumbing down the content! I did the quest with all white gear, and without any consoles in my ship config! You're killing the game! You just need to know your ship! Dude! I put my guns on autofire and went AFK to make…
  • I'm new to STO, and jumped right in as a Romulan. I'm really regretting it, now that I've reached Devil's Choice. Clearly not played tested - who could possible think it's fun to die over and over? To be in a battle where your allies are worthless, and you are fighting what? a dozen? two dozen? large ships simultaneously?…
  • Could not agree more. Playing a Romulan has been a horrible mistaken and a huge waste of time - because of this quest and this particular step. You stand no chance - your allies are either destroyed or in a constant state of repair - if you engage, you're immediately wiped out. If you try to range, the quest spawn endless…
