  • Its not shameful at all. CBS is a corporation. They are in business to make money for their shareholders. They're not a non-profit that exists to provide you with entertainment. All of the clips they're remastering for the documentary are non FX clips. DS9, like TNG, was shot on film and then transferred to tape. But after…
  • So, what are the chances that players like me who actually live in Lafayette, LA can get a free hometown ship?
  • So, is the ESRB rating going to be changed so that characters can use the language they use on the show?
  • How can you be out of stock of a digital item?
  • This worked perfectly. One you boot up like this in DirectX 9, you can crank your graphic settings back up to max, and the game still performs perfectly well with no crashes. So, the issue must be either with DX11, STO, or the two not playing well with each other. But after playing a bit, I really haven't lost much, if…
  • I've been here so long, I leveled my KDF main entirely through PVP.
  • Cryptic doesn't intend for everyone to grind out full trees on all their alts. Having the continued skill points was intended as a way to continue to reward you for playing the game once you hit max level (in particular since there is nothing above Fleet Admiral or Dahar Master for them to raise the level cap to now...)…
  • Then where's my KDF Ferengi based on House of Quark? I can see many Ferengi fitting in just fine with our Nausicaan, Orion, and Lethean friends. Better than any Talaxian I've ever seen, at least.
  • This is nothing new. The forums are on a six month cycle of these blowups. Its happened a dozen times since Beta. STF-exclusive gear was going to 'kill the game' because it was elitist and most players were casual. The Foundry was going to 'kill the game' because it was going to be exploited by everyone and all the dev…
  • This is the most important thing said thus far in this thread, and of all posts, this is the one that demands an immediate answer!
  • Blizzard has not only removed items from characters that were gained from boss kills resulting from exploits, they've suspended, and even banned some players for using those exploits. Cryptic was actually fairly merciful in this regard as only 250 players lost only some (not all) of their progress. No one was suspended or…
  • Right, and Cryptic didn't want people to do that. So they took away the ability to do that, and took the people who had done that and skipped the most of the new content and set them back so that they'd have a need to do the new content. Which is perfectly within their rights. If you don't like what they did or how they…
  • Right, so you're not saying that it was done at random (adj. without definite aim, purpose, method, or adherence to a prior arrangement; in a haphazard way). You're saying it was done arbitrarily (adv. founded on or subject to personal whims, prejudices, etc; capricious). Clearly, your claim in no way resembles my straw…
  • WoW has an expansion coming out in a few weeks. Do you really think that if a week or two into it, they discover that people are leveling to the new leveling cap at vastly faster than the intended speed solely by running one of the old battlegrounds over and over again, without setting foot in the expansion content, that…
  • Really? The majority of players honestly thought that when Cryptic released a new expansion with 10 new levels and a bunch of new content that what they intended was for people to power level through all 10 plus 50 skill points in a matter of hours by running one piece of old, pre-expansion content over and over again?…
  • You're assuming what you want to prove. The devs are saying that the punishment wasn't random. The devs are saying that the punishment was issued to the 250 worst offenders (a tiny portion of the player base). You are saying that the devs punished 250 random people. The idea that the devs would punish the 250 worst…
  • Never said that. If he was being accused of, for example, making leveling a lot slower in this expansion to sell more XP Boosts for $10 a pop on the Zen Store, I'd say, "Well, yeah, that's probably part of it. They're in business to make money." If people were here asserting that the numbers he pulled from the servers were…
  • So, your response to, "D'Angelo would have to be maniacally evil and/or insane to do that of which you are accusing him" is essentially, "Yes, he's an evil maniac and the rest of the company are all covering for him"?
  • Yeah but ultimately the question should be about the point of penalty. Seriously, what purpose has it really served?The purpose of rolling them back to where they would have been sans exploit is to discourage people from looking for exploits. There are a lot of different ways to approach games. One is the straightforward…
  • This is rich. Okay, so it seems you are accusing D'Angelo of being either: A) Maniacally Evil and/or B) Completely Insane He seems to me to be able to hold down a job and otherwise function normally in society, so I don't know what evidence you have of this. But the behavior of which you're accusing he and the other devs…
  • What, you think Cryptic should've issued a list of account names of the offenders? Of course it was anonymous. Re: we don't know who's telling the truth, of course we do. Who has a motive to lie? What would possibly motivate Cryptic to take away spec points from innocent people? How would that benefit them? What would be…
  • Yes, how dare Cryptic and PWI want to make a profit on a game. They should charge the absolute minimum to recoup their costs and give us the rest for free, right Comrade?
  • Yeah, I remember all those episodes where they used stealth jet packs... ...wait, no I don't. That's not Star Trek at all. I do, however, remember several TNG, and a couple DS9 episodes in which they went on stealth/infiltration missions in all black outfits with ropes and grapples. I'm beginning to think that the people…
  • Seeing as the then hostile Romulan Star Empire, the other party of the Treaty, was willing to allow the Federation to operate a cloaking ship (the Defiant) in the Gamma Quadrant in order to battle the perceived threat of the Dominion, it only stands to reason that the now allied Roman Republic would allow the Federation to…
  • An attempt to play Solomon and split the baby. Scrap the whole T5-U idea. Instead, for 500 zen or so, you can unlock the skin of any ship you've gotten from a lockbox or in the C-Store or for Lobi accountwide and apply it to any ship of the same class. So, everyone has to get a T6 ship, but if you pay your 500 zen, you can…
  • I know you guys think this is the silver bullet argument, but you're wrong. In Vanilla WoW, I had a melee dps Shaman specced for two-handed hammer who ruled inpvp. Then an expansion came out. Ever since, melee shaman have had to dual-wield. In WotLK, I endgame tanked with a Frost DK. Then an expansion came out. Now Frost…
  • In every other MMO ever, a new expansion means instantly obsoleting all the stuff that players built over the last however many years. Cryptic is doing something unprecedented in allowing, by way of the upgradeable ships, people to keep at least part of it. Again, I don't understand why you would want or expect the best…
  • Its oddly nostalgic, this thread. Probably because there's been a nigh identical one about every thing Cryptic's done since closed beta. Heck, before this game existed...anybody remember Vibora Bay? Cryptic's greedy, game is doomed, anyone who disagrees is a fanboy, yadda yadda ad infinitum.
  • You're changing the argument now. In your last post, you said you didn't mind if there were other, more powerful ships, as long as yours was 'in the same range'. Give or take a single BOff slot, with all else being equal, is to me well within the same range. Now all of a suddent you want 'equal'. Either you're okay with…
