I do not think they anticipated the response this has gotten. They basically shot themselves in the TRIBBLE. Part of me is angry. But honestly , I am kind of laughing and enjoying watching the community response all over grow more and more discontented after Kael's attempt at damage control. This is the result of the…

That "might have been" an understatement. This while funny to some has left a very bad taste and impression. Aside from someone like Andre Emerson (EP) or Al Rivera (HeadDev) giving some attempt at explanation and apology for the TRIBBLE poor execution of their "joke" I can't see them making this better. Certainly , the…

When any percentage of your playerbase, no matter how small, is discussing legal action regarding your advertising practices, you have obviously won in the arena of public relations. Right? Seriously, Cryptic Devs, you need to get someone official to comment on this fiasco. No offense to the forum Mods, but their opinions…

I keep seeing "It's supposed to be a joke" and hearing that the Mods and CM intend to write a forum post explaining things. If you have to explain a "joke", then it's not a joke. This is a next level public relations TRIBBLE-up. The only "joke" in all this is that they thought this would be funny.
-
It's honestly not Al's style. It is however , exactly the style of Andre Emerson , our game's current EP. Truth is, we will never know who thought this was a good idea, so it's best not to actually pin it on anyone except to say that it's the decision of money counters in suits and not the Devs working in the trenches (as…

This has to be some kind of misfiring in their brain meats. If it was supposed to be a "joke" they should know ... it's not very funny, except to laugh at them for being such greedy no goodniks. Worst cash grab they have ever done. With an attempt to appeal to the FOMO (fear of missing out) thrown in for good measure. I…

Very few things in this life make me laugh out loud anymore. Kudos to Cryptic for achieving that with this absolutely ridiculous pricing scheme. The people setting prices have lost their collective minds. This is an undefendable cash grab very in the wheelhouse of the current EP. Just look at his resume.

Tom Cruise is a garbage human. There is no way he is unaware of the mental and physical abuse visited upon people involved with his religious cult called scientology. Sometimes he makes good movies but that doesn't excuse his complacency in the abuse of his fellow humans. Also, "Maverick" was a one note character without…
-
Oh look, another bad decision obviously being made to pad the metrics. If they think we can't see these changes are a direct result of hiring Andre "Mobile Games Generalisimo" Emerson, they are wrong. I can't wait for the day that this metrics driven, money driven, not give a damn about his players EP is shown the door.…

So we witnessed the Prime Lorca doing something heroic. Original Post references the actions or non-actions taken by Lorca planetside. Which I would argue does nothing to prove Lorca is a bad Captain. It wasn't Gabriel Lorca the starfleet captain, it was Gabriel Lorca the Terran Soldier. Nothing in these missions suggests…
-
Why is this even a discussion? Lorca that we have any close interaction with was a Terran Empire Soldier, not a Starfleet Captain. We have no real knowledge of what Prime Lorca was like as a Starfleet Captain. How is this an argument?
-
Oh Yay. Another 3 week TFO grind right on the back of the current one. If this is the direction of the game under Andre's fearless leadership, I am already so done with it. This is not how you should try and deliver story to us. But, hey, now that you've taken the Foundry away as an option for story, I guess we should all…

Last Two News Items Foundry Spotlight Mission Foundry Sunset Announcement That's an insult. Everyone else has already expressed many of the feelings I have about this. I cannot fathom how they came to this decision. I am floored by the news. In equal parts angry and sad. I really want someone specific to blame.
-
It's Pretty. But we already knew that from playing the Anniversary missions. As expected , the art team does good , bordering on great work. But this is not an enjoyable TFO. At best , "meh" seems a good word to describe the experience. Since "Featured" TFOs are a (new) thing now , we only have Battle at the Binary Stars…

1.No outlines in the map editor when placing objects. (For many , custom maps are an important part of their mission creation. ) 2.No ability to create unique NPCs at all, that part is just plain broken. (For Many, custom NPCs are required as part of mission creation) 3.Intermittant publishing fails. (Self explanatory)…

I've made a couple of snarky twitter posts about it, but for the most part, I don't think the community has become exactly "toxic". Mostly what I have seen from social media and the Starbase UGC Chatrooms is more of a sad acceptance. Personally, I've reached the point of not caring anymore. Foundry will never be any kind…

Hard Pass. This pack is a bad sign for the overall value of the zen store if items are moving to per character unlocks instead of account unlocks. Individual items might be worth it, but the pack is a joke. The worst travesty here is locking one of Thomas's ship designs behind the pay wall of the pack. One of the worst…
-
I really think you are meaning the starter packs for every expansion since LoR. The expansion is the episodes, the new TFOs, etc etc. The starter packs usually come in 2 sizes. a $20 ish pack with usually one ship and a couple titles, maybe a costume. and a larger starter pack around $120 with a bundle of ships, titles,…

Shave ye' goateed scoundrels.

Spawn Bug. Fixed within a week. Try reading patch notes. Enemy Scaling bug, also fixed. Decrying content because it has some bugs that get fixed is totally disingenuous and you know it. And the rest is indeed, all opinion. SB24 did not have any tactics. Spawns didn't "matter". They filled the battlefield with targets and…
-
Personal opinion that you keep stating like it's a fact. SB24 was a terrible queue with enemy spawns that made no sense. Objectives were simply, kill this many, now kill this many. I find Defense of SB1 to be a far better designed experience. Basically, you can state your opinion over and over again. Doesn't make it true.
-
Fixed ? The change would make for a ridiculous exploit. It's not a bug. It's not wonky. This is the way it should be.
-
First answer in the thread. Plain and direct. No one asked why it can't be done, but following responses are correct. It would be ripe for exploitation.
-
Can't wait to play everyone's missions. Happy so many people entered and glad to see positive attention for the Foundry.
-
Looking forward to playing through it.
-
Wow. I really like that idea Steve.
-
So here's a thought, I'm having reading all this. Timegates are annoying. It doesn't matter how many trash mobs you defeat, or portals you close, or pies you bake, etc etc during that time because at max level, the tiny amount of experience you get from defeating/closing, etc means nothing. The reward for completing an…
-
As people have noted above in the thread , we get everything we need reward wise by okaying reports on our Bridge (Admirality, Reps, etc) ... for me "paltry" reqwards are not what is keeping me away. It's simply the apparent need others have for rewards that keep them from queing up and then seeing empty queues is just…
-
Oh it's totally the 20 person requirement to even pop that makes it unplayed. Total agreement there. I'd love to see it get the remastering treatment like the Minefield did.
-
Every single time I log in I queue for Big Dig praying it will pop. It's older , but I love the whole mission, and am sad as heck it never pops. Why I'd play it is the entire mission from start to finish. I just enjoy the goals and the somewhat required teamwork to fully succeed. Could care less about the Dil. I just want…
