Thanks for the correction.

The problem is they keep adding complex systems to push people into spending money (indirectly). And they keep messing with things which were simple and were working fine. There was no need to revamp boff skill training ... and certainly no need to monetize it and tie into crafting. Now they will have to fix tons of…

For some players who are responding positively to this: "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me." Join the rest of us and refuse all DR (future) grinds!
-
If it was only April 1st ... then I could yell April Fools. Perhaps the EP was hung over from celebrating ... "DR is the best expansion ever and the players love it!" :rolleyes:
-
Yes, it is sad where we are now. All it would take would be a few modest changes (like making specs account bound) and increasing XP rewards for missions and replays to "mitigate" many of these problems. Sadly, they are being hard headed about it.
-
I am tempted. It is a long time since I have payed full price for a game. I am just waiting for a few more reviews before I dive in.
-
I think the game will survive DR and even worse in a hobbled state. I think the only rational explanation I can come up with for 2014 is that Cryptic is giving up on making this game better. I think they failed at (prior to 2014): 1) Expanding the population (apart from the bump provided by LoR which evaporated rapidly) 2)…

It used to be that PvP and forum were the only reasons I came back to STO. Now it is just the forum. And the devs nerfed that too. Let's see how long until they completely break the forum as well and wipe out the last bit of fun.
-
This post is full of win. OP, I sympathize as a former PvPer who hasn't touched it since DR crept on us. It is time to do like the rest of us have already done and move on. Just log in when you feel the itch to "fire phasers" ... and then go play something that is fun.
-
That's too cute. :D Can't say I appreciate tax dollars being wasted on this ... but it is cute. Merry X-Mas folks ...
-
I remember when players were young and innocent ... and then Geko and his metrics had their way with us. :eek:
-
Next expansion(s): "We are removing the queues. They are too confusing for players and aren't up to our stellar standards." "110% ;) less reporting errors" And some titles: STO: The Search for More Metrics! STO: The Best Expansion and Players Love It! STO: Rise ... and Fall of Argala!
-
What if Geko's comment was a "reporting error". :D
-
"Good customers are as rare as latinum. Treasure them." ;)

Season's Greetings from Doom! :D
-
You will be waiting a long time for that one. This is officially "The Year of Hell" for STO ... until next year. :(
-
Love the sig if I haven't said it before.
-
Sadly, Cryptic doesn't seem to care about people like you, your friend or myself. Unless you are a whale willing to feed them tons of money, grind out the game for hours on end or both then they don't care. They don't see to care about Trekkers and other fans either. I think they will regret alienating casual players in…

Anyone who watched a "The Measure of a Man" (TNG) or "Duet" (DS9) knows what excellence in Trek was. There were some stinkers too but in general ST was about elevating the human condition. STO is the mirror universe where the Ferengi took over and everything is on "sale".
-
PvP was actually possible (even after LOR) with enough time and patience (and spending some dough). The build was actually more important and only a few things like the Valdore console were strictly needed. Of course P2W was all over the place and there were many OP items and little balance. DR completely destroyed what…

It is a Christmas miracle! :D

I think the last "vestiges" of Star Trek was killed when they removed exploration because it was "too confusing to players and didn't meet their standards of quality". DR obsolescence of canon ships was just the coup-de grace.
-
Started out very rough with Season 8 "hangover". Dino with a freakin' laser (TM). Then came grind-a-versery ... Season 9.5 (Crafting grind-a-thon) and now DR the ultimate frontier of grinds. Yeah ... I think I see a pattern too.
-
What I don't understand is the motivation of forum mods ... who are paid exactly $0 ... by a for-profit company making lots of money from the misery of its players. I get that some people go overboard and need to be "modded". But why punish disgruntled players who express their criticism in a civil tone. What exactly is…

It is over folks. Mourn the loss and walk away. This is what you get in a Perfect World.

Play 1->50 with freebie ships and enjoy the story content. Then log off and don't spend another dime on it. You will have fun and avoid 99% of the problems reported here.
-
Killing casual PvE in a casual MMO is an especially ill advised. The numbers speak for themselves since DR. "All hands abandon ship ... all hands abandon ..."
-
This game ceased being Star Trek long ago ... if it ever was to begin with.
-
Who cares? I want to see more funny DR signatures.

Awesome thread folks. Love the creativity. Great way to vent!
