Before someone shouts "necroing old thread" I think It's definitely warranted when adding new content to not to clutter searches with lots of dead topics... AMD Phenom (four cores, constant load about 50%), GTX 970 should be enough to let STO run decently even on highest settings, yet I experienced a severe stuttering at…

And the second post after the announcement JUST underlines what I always say. They post something - players fly into a rage. They post nothing - players fly into a rage. So no wonder they usually simply spare themselves the effort. Reading here (as in: wading through all that after the OP) makes me wonder if they had it…

Face it. They post an excessive list of things which are done, players raise a sh*tstorm because they will take offense at one thing or another, like why a certain thing hasn't been fixed/included/removed, how something got nerfed, whatever. They post nothing or very little, players go up in flames as well. So the end…

And that's where you're completely wrong. Replacing a texture isn't that much. Maybe just a click in a single selection box. Adding new parts to a map isn't that much either. Designing a hairstyle for a) a singular species (since wouldn't actually work for Ferasans as well) b) and doing so that there are no clipping…

Maybe it's just that they were quicker with patching without one CM or salesperson looking over the shoulder asking "When is it done?" or "Does it take long?" Trust me. I'm working as a code monkey myself and I know I hate such things - and my usual answer is that I could be done by now if I'm not constantly interrupted.

Actually, that just proves one of my statements yesterday. Give players an estimate, and they yell at you. Even louder if you can't meet it for whatever reason. Give players no estimate, and they yell at you. So... both have the same outcome, with not posting in the forum being less of an expense on the employee's side.…

Clocked about six days into the twenty-five days of farming (everyone can guess how I got to this number...) and two dropouts. So, let's do some math. For every six days, add two because of servers being down. Which means, the twenty remaining days get extended to about 27. Now add, say, five days because you might not be…

Hell NO. The more technically inclined - and I think it's a good part of the user base - can actually make some sense from the error messages. And maybe diagnose problems on their own side, like firewalls or routers from them. It wouldn't help seeing an error message like "core breach" or such.

In one FAQ they actually stated it (paraphrased): "We get yelled if we announce something, we get yelled if we don't. Same outcome for us, though not posting means less expense on our side." Look around. Did that ****storm abate once we actually got updates here? Doesn't look that way.

Like saying "it's a slight problem, we'll have you up in no time" when reaching for the defib....

No return from the dead from my point of view. That had been done too many times. First, death is a part of life. Even legends like Archer or Kirk met their end one way or another. Second, even the biggest hero can die a meaningless death. Slipping on a banana peel to break the neck would do everybody in, decorated war…

Happened as well with females of Liberated Borg (Human and Romulan) and Alien. So I presume this bug is independent of species. Trying to save an existing outfit and load it anew doesn't help - legs will be missing. Plus, I noticed the "Legs" (bare skin, stockings) selector is missing, so I presume without that one and its…

I guess their idea of 'fix' was to replace every. d*mn. force field throughout the game. Three guesses that the Foundry and its contents remains broken for even longer because of that Worse Than Failure ?

I wonder if Akamai lets Cryptic (yes, that typo with the 'a' was quite compelling...) pay extra for the transfer volumes their less-than-ideal (to say it in politically correct words) patch management causes. (See http://sto-forum.perfectworld.com/showpost.php?p=10797351&postcount=277 ) In a way, I hope so, and that it's…

I don't like saying this, but the patcher of one of the older online games published by a company starting with B and ending with -ard performed much better than this one. So far I've recognized the following flaws or places that could need improvement: 1) Content management Really. 4GB patch with no announcement of a new…

Now I'm positively ticked off (insert any stronger verb here, didn't so for sake of forum rules). Two weeks and still nothing, not even a peep how long it'll take. I mean, honestly. Keeping (sometimes paying) users waiting without any sort of update works only so long, and since there is no information AT ALL, people may…

Bringing down the production database for a longer time is usually the worst thing one can do. Wouldn't have it been better to disable editing of Foundry projects a week before update, and then do the database migration and/or the conversion of the Foundry projects on a mirror, maybe accessible by Tribble? And with S6…
-
Reading that many "still exists from Tribble" additions in the bug report thread I think that the Tribble server is no test server at all, but just a server to warn the players of the oncoming bugs.

And moving back to the spawn location and forward, through the 'decon chamber' never crossed your mind? Died and got respawned at the other side as well. Noticed that the "finish puzzle" trigger didn't fire, but did so after moving back and forth. Seems it's an area trigger you fire when passing through the opened door,…
