Whether you "accept" it or not isnt going to change anything. No matter how much of a fit you throw about not wanting a Borg faction, at the end of the day the Borg in STO will still be weak and you will still be able to solo a cube. A playable Borg faction wont make them any weaker than the Devs have already made them.
-
The person who posted this thread obviously thought so.
-
And if you ever want a Romulan faction, I would suggest you do the same. Why? Because the Devs have said that they wont be adding any new factions until the KDF is finished ;)
-
Ok, so here is what *I* would have done differently. As others have said, launch with only the Feds and focus on making the core game systems the very best they can be; especially exploration, crafting and PvP. Add new content on a regular basis, and add 1 new STF every season. Then finally add the KDF for the 2 year…
-
If you had actually PLAYED this game you would know that Cryptic had ALREADY made the Borg so weak you can solo a cube, meaning they are NOTHING like what just described. The fact that you arent aware of that means you havent played this game, so you shouldnt be having a conversation about a game you havent even played.…
-
Not only is that NOT obvious, it is highly UNlikely. You would more likely be in a probe or sphere at most.
-
Considering the fact that they cant even finish the KDF faction, there is no way S7 is a Romulan faction. But the chances of a Romulan lockbox are almost certain ;)
-
The same computer/Vinculum that controls the ship also controls the individual drones.
-
Your right; things do change. However until they say anything to that effect, then their previous comments stand. And as recently as the latest Ask Cryptic, Dan is still talking about the possibility of a Borg faction.
-
Yeah yeah, we all know its a back and forth process where Cryptic keeps making changes until CBS is satisfied. But from the multiple comments they have made about doing a Borg faction one day, they are obviously fairly confident that they would be able to work it out. But if it makes you feel better to think otherwise,…
-
Exactly. The simple truth is the opinions of the people posting in this thread mean NOTHING, myself included. The devs have told us before that the forums do not represent the playerbase, so none of this arguing matters. What does actually matter is that they have said they would like to do a Borg faction on more than one…
-
This may come as a shock to you, but what people say in chat is not part of the official game story/plot. All that trash talk in PvP? Not a part of the game's story/plot. What a shocker! I dare say it *should* be fairly obvious that if there were a playable Borg faction they wouldnt have access to areas like that. The…
-
Except, according to the story of the game, they wouldnt have individuality. You are confusing what you as a player sitting in front of a computer know, with what the characters in the game know and the story of the game, which is completely different and completely UNrelated. As long as the NPC characters in the game and…
-
I most certainly do. I am completely aware that what I, the player, know, has absolutely nothing to do with the story/plot of the game. Just because I, the player, know my character died and re-spawned does not change the story/plot of the game. And just because I, the player, may know another real person is playing a Borg…
-
Some of you people are SO ridiculous its funny. Once again, the idea of a playable borg faction is no more contradictory to the IP than the fact that Fed and KDF players magically come back to life when their ship explodes. While we, the PLAYERS are aware of re-spawning, the make-believe characters we play are NOT.…
-
Forget the trek-no-babble. When we play a video game, there is a suspension of disbelief. When your character dies then magically comes back to life, you dont throw a fit about how it doesnt make sense; you understand it is simply a mechanic of the game. The same is true of a hypothetical Borg faction. Within the story of…
-
Just like you are assuming that the characters we play would be able to tell the difference between a playable Borg faction and NPCs. However that entire concept is flawed because those terms are terms that we, the players, use to describe video games. So unless you are saying that the characters we play would be aware…
-
Yes, they do. But guess what? That is not the storyline of this game as told by Cryptic and approved by CBS. So regardless of the fact that time loops do occasionally happen in Trek, that is irrelevant to what we are discussing.
-
And aside from the rare "Q event" or time loop, you didnt come back to life every time you die either. So as I said previously, the idea of a playable Borg faction is no more unrealistic within the IP than magically coming back to life after your ship blows up. Not sure how much of this game you have actually played, but…
-
First things first, I'd like to have a great big belly laugh at the people who think this is real life. Its not; its a video game about a fictional tv show. That being the case, real life logic doesnt apply. The idea of a Borg faction is no more unrealistic than the idea that we magically come back to life after our ship…
-
Can someone please post a pic of this ship with the nacelles slanted backwards?
-
Your saying you'll refuse to do your job as a reporter for massively? I guess they should be made aware of your intentions so they dont send you next time. /snipe
-
MY point is that if Cryptic thinks giving out fleet marks with an obviously exploited mission like the foundry daily is "doing it right", then they have no excuse not to give out fleet marks with the PvP daily too. Once again, you just arent comprehending what people are saying. The foundry daily is probably the most…
-
My point is, how is that any different than temporarily attaching the fleet marks to the PvP daily during the Fleet event week?
-
And you think a foundry daily that 99% of people exploit is the "right way"?
-
Those missions work the same way as Cryptic's own star cluster missions, so they cannot be called an exploit unless Cryptic's missions are exploits too.
-
A long time ago they specifically told us to report missions that were designed simply to exploit the daily, and while the subject hasnt been discussed in a while, I have never seen them retract that statement or change their stance on them being exploits. Please link to the post where they have said what you are claiming.
-
I dont understand why it is so hard for them to write a PR that is easy to understand.
-
I never said they dont have the time. I said if someone has a limited(key word) amount of time to play, and their choice is: A) long foundry mission with medicore rewards or B) several shorter missions that off the same or better rewards They are more likely to choose the latter. UNLESS the long foundry mission actually…
-
This is a fantastic example of completely missing the point. Convenience has absolutely nothing to do with it. Numbers do. If somebody can only log on for a few hours to play, are they more likely to play a long foundry mission that only grants a mediocre reward, or several short missions that grant better rewards? To…
