So how's playing as the Cardassians and Borg? What about playing Poker and other 'Crew / Fleet' Mini-Games? Still waiting for Ship Internals to be actually Customisable. Exploration Nebula to be Procedurally Generations "So you'll never play the same Mission twice" ... oh I remember distinctly what they promised about…

I think it was a few days into the Anniversary Event actually really questioned WTF I was doing, cause I don't even want a Kobali Ship... so logged out, and started playing Final Fantasy XIV again. Then Darkest Dungeon was released which is just awesome, a big update to Elite Dangerous. See Star Trek Online has always had…

Great Scott! I didn't think you guys were real... I mean I'd always heard about 'Whales' but always just assumed they were an over-exaggeration from PR and Metrics Companies trying to justify why we need them and their meaningless graphs. Never actually seen one out in the wild, in all their lack-of-financial-sense beauty.…

So let's see if I get this straight... The solution to being frustrated and angry with how STO is, isn't to discuss the aspects we do and don't like about the game in an effort to get a large enough part of the community to agree on the direction that would make us happier (as a whole, obviously different people have…

Not really, I've actually tried to explain this before a few times but usually was drowned out by the usually "We want MOAR STFS!" idiots who seem to enjoy the daily raid mentality. See the point being made isn't so much that there is too much "Content" as if there is too much to do. Rather there is just so much busy work…

You want an honest opinion, Lifetime is like paying for BUPA Healthcare over NHS. There are certainly some surface benefits but ultimately nothing that is completely unavailable to everyone else. I mean one of the original BIG draws was the Borg Bridge Officer and Playable Character ... today this is what 600 Zen? And to…

I watched their little intro video and frankly I'm non the wiser of what kind of game it even is. I'm assuming they were showing off some in-game of a Star System, but it really doesn't show a damn thing... to make matters worse the majority is just the project leads being like "Yeah this is awesome because it's for the…

In all honestly this is almost certainly spot on to the problem with STO... the fact is nothing we suggest will make a blind bit of difference; because the Developers themselves have absolutely no say. I've sadly seen this so many times over the past 15 years, even going back to the first Developer I worked for (Core…
-
I must admit it's been a while since I finally decided to bother completing Omega when they brought all the Reps in-line with each other... but some of the info about the lack of 32k Dilithium and 750 Marks that you are given for Tier 5 completion occurs on ALL Reputations. What I can't recall though is if any Secondary or…

Cryptic' major misstep with STO was before "End-Game" was even a consideration was instead of developing it as Traditional MMO RPG (World of ********-style) Game. Such undertakings have not only very clear expiration dates, but there is actually absolutely no reason for them to be MASSIVELY MULTIPLAYER. Although the only…

All of the Missions and Patrols can be Soloed on Elite, or at least I can (and have) It isn't very SP/min efficient like doing it as a group and the difficulty curve is all over the damn place, to be sure; but they're beatable... and I'm still only using Mk XII-VR gear, no idea if my skill spec is still decent (not changed…

Syndication to multiple Social Formats is easy to automate, even the "Twitter" limitation is simple enough as it has always been common practise given RSS was a fairly standardised technology that has only been improved with the advent of RIA and REST techniques for "Web 2.0" that even every damn phone nowadays supports.…

Uh Huh... I think one person said it best a few posts up, that Science ships are often appreciated in his Groups; that simply is the point, the game doesn't NEED CC/Support ships; it isn't design around them and as time goes on the Science abilities have slowly turned the Science Ship from being a Bard / Healer into a…

I have a feeling my understanding of what a Troll is might be out-of-date, as it is suppose to be a witty, pithy or sarcastic retort to the subject at hand where the entire point is you encapsulate the mocking tone either within a single post or as a series of responses where you PROGRESS to ever more increasingly…
-
Most ships aren't actually any good, and the Tier 6 ships on the whole are 'underwhelming' given the massive gulf in capabilities of the other ships; and that they're more T5+ like the Fleet Ships, where the extra cost is well debatable outside of a pure min-max numbers game. It makes it depressing to me that despite the…

You know after being unfortunately subjected to 5 pages of the absolute drivel, there is only disappointment in the sheer level of stupidity and diatribe of some people. I'm not being funny but there are a number of individuals who have posted here who need to grow the **** up and realise not everything is about sex. Yet…
-
Can't say I've suffered any Disconnections and all "Latency" has been from the ridiculous amount of Alpha Blend Overdraw that happens in the Delta Systems, because that is destroying framerate on all of my PCs ... for some it doesn't affect playability but others that are running at 900p30 they instantly become unplayable…
-
Honestly, I think the issue comes with how you earn them. When the content you play to actually earn the Marks is actually enjoyable, the complaints about grinding them mostly disappear... I mean really how many people were complaining during the Dyson Sphere expansion, outside of the bugs; honestly it was the first…
-
I don't really understand the problem ... I mean if it's just the 'Timers' then, so what? Just means grinding in marathon sessions when you do play, then logging each day for 5-10minutes to set everything going. Heck that's how I'm actually levelling right now, because I'll be damned if I'm going to run the same content ad…
-
I'd actually disagree with the SWTOR having a "superior" Crafting System, don't get me wrong the whole 'Dilithium Requirement to Upgrade' and means to acquire Materials in STO is unfortunately is 'Standard F2P Business 101'; but from the standpoint of the Crafting and Upgrade system itself ... well Mechanically it is…
-
You want a good place to put blame for the lack of 'Heals' look at the core game mechanics, especially as the game has "evolved to be better" ... which really just means it's far more DPS-focused now. Hell almost all of the STF (End-Game Content) features Enemies, that have abilities you literally cannot Heal people…
-
The support website is wrong in terms of what you have to remove, there are two gameprefs files... one is located in the main cryptic folder, the other is in the game folder. You want to either delete or edit the one (via notepad) within the game folder e.g. Star Trek Online / Localdata / .. Some machines don't like to…

If you are experiencing issues with AMD Cards it is highly recommended that you use the latest Beta Drivers if you are on Windows 7 or 8.x Any issues you experience are not ones with your Drivers, even if they do "Crash" and have to restart they are actually serious problems with STO itself. While a crash dump and report…

Sadly even in "Elite" Mode this is true... I think what tends to upset me about the "Balance" I guess you could call it is either you do absolutely own everything, outside of a handful of the Elite STF or similar Adventure Zone 'end game' aspects where they do some BS 1-Shot Instant-Kill thing you can't dodge. Really the…

Actually CCP has rewritten the Graphics System three times now, the Database System five times, and are currently in the middle of rewriting the ENTIRE Game Engine from scratch in a Modular Fashion, which is actually a very smart way to go about it because they also expand at the same time (usually on the aspect of the…
-
I'd actually disagree... Sure EVE isn't exactly "New Player" friendly as it can easily seem very overwhelming, but generally speaking the tutorial (now it has one, and one that does teach the basics) doesn't do that bad a job explaining the core mechanics of the game. Even still, it doesn't matter because usually you will…
-
To be fair part of the reason the current STO Engine is so damn demanding is because it is a very heavily modified version of the City of Heroes Engine... which was then modified again for Neverwinter. This said, with Neverwinter the core game design actually is well suited to the engine so the main modifications (which…
-
Well apparently this update is so awesomely amazing that the server is preventing my access so that I don't die from over exposure to awesome ... or more realistically someone screwed up fixing something THAT WASN'T BROKEN. After an hour of attempts, finally got to create myself a Romulan was even able to get to the…
-
This is one of the key issues at fault there though, is it not? Not meaning the fact that the Starbases are perfectly secure, but more it does mean something. As the Fleet Starbase is capable of providing all of the same perks you get from the Major Starbases without the latency... not to mention the "Fleet Gear", most of…
-
That's kinda my point Darius... Star Trek lends itself fantastically to a Sandbox gameplay style, and I was incredibly excited for what Perpetual had promised (even if the screenshots were less than encouraging) I'm not saying the game IS a Sandbox - what I'm saying is it SHOULD be. Would also say that a little more…
