  • @deokkent I think you should try to limit your posts to 200 characters or less, otherwise the search will truncate them. So far I have not found a way to make the search return full posts.
  • So he is essentially limited to writing one-line answers that can be found via the search?
  • I did not believe that I would ever again say this, but: Hooray, Cryptic! Well done.
  • You think? Take a look at this data pulled from my leaderboard database: And now take a wild guess as to when DR launched.
  • I took the time to search the release note archives and I found what I was looking for: At one point in time, Cryptic decided that APA should not buff FBP. Then some patch stealth-reverted that change and now Cryptic doesn't even remember their decision from 2011.
  • Corona Biebs deals 222157 (538452) damage (critical) to Augm3nt with Feedback Pulse III. (Link) 538k raw damage with FBP3? Wow. I wonder what it was that got reflected.
  • About dev annoucements...
  • Been there, done that: "How can we get PVP into the C-Store?" (April 2011)
  • That would be a lot easier if PWE hadn't taken away the easily accessable ignore button on the forums. People have been complaining about this for years, why hasn't it returned yet?
  • And what exactly is the answer? When I think back at the few times when devs actually engaged the community (or it was at least looking as if they were going to, like when Gozer got assigned to PVP) they got showered with help offers - people making suggestions or listing bugs about whatever topic the dev was taking on,…
  • Working on it.
  • The devs keep stressing the importance of "constructive feedback", but what actually is it that they consider constructive feedback? I asked this question back in 2012 when Gozer was supposed to take over PVP - and never got a reply.
  • Your wish has been granted! Let's see if the server remains stable with such big queries. A toon needs more than 10 matches of sufficient balance to be in the yearly list, and more than 15 for the alltime one. Yay! I still hold the record for highest ever net hit that was not a ramming speed. And the coolest thing: my 224k…
  • If you replace FireAll with FirePhasers, it will only trigger your energy weapons.
  • No, an artist cannot fix the coding issues. But I suspect that their artists get paid in $ just like the programmers (although the amount of $ might differ) - and thus it is not entirely unreasonable to suggest that maybe they should consider reducing the number of artists they have and spend the then available money on…
  • Um... although there were some players using this thread (instead of the "PVP Leaderboards" one) for asking about leaderboard access, this is the "The Hilbert Guide" thread which is about the cookie cutter guide to PVP (and not about the leaderboard which is hosted at the same website as the guide). The spacebar bind is…
  • One has to distinguish between two things: 1) There is the theory that spacebar mashing that triggers weapons and distributes shields already reduces DPS. This was the topic of the conversation mentioned in the video and so far I have seen no proof of such an effect (in fact the data suggests that spacebar mashing might…
  • I'll contact you in-game via PM or mail. For more leaderboard-related inquiries, you can also use the leaderboard thread.
  • I used to like ground pvp in the days before the Type 3 rifle. And while the Type 3 was already bad enough, it was S4 that totally killed ground pvp for me.
  • KDF works fine with the leaderboard because the combatlog is recording KDF actions correctly.
  • Weird. I have never noticed any kind of increased lag related to activating the combat log.
  • Yes, this will work (assuming that the match you want to upload is less than 24h old (Or was it 48h? I don't remember.)).
  • I think we have reached the point where improving PVP in STO is a lost cause. This does not mean that we have to give up on STO-style spaceship PVP, though. It only means that any future update to STO's way of PVP will have to happen outside of STO.
  • The new Redshirt patch replaces Rebirth with almost a 1-1 copy of the Holodeck build.

  • So sad. I was really looking forward to playing Rebirth all night, hoping that it might last a couple of days. EDIT: Redshirt entry is back, launcher is attempting to patch the 10GB again. Let's see what happens. EDIT2: The server is unavailable, but the game got patched back to DR. Dang.

  • Redshirt is back in the launcher, but currently my login process gets stuck at "Waiting for the account server response...". I want to get to level 6, roll a KDF toon and start queueing for PVP. I want to walk in the original Great Hall again.

  • I haven't had this much fun in STO in years as I had in the 30 minutes that I spent in Rebirth between finally completing patching and the server going down again. Cryptic, please make a true S1.2 shard a reality. I want to play again the STO that I love. RA5/BG5 forever!
  • Account server is working again, but the launcher only shows Holodeck and Tribble :( But since they have now proved that it is possible to put an old build on a server, maybe we should really push for a S1.2 shard. I'm willing to pay a fee for getting access to such a thing.

  • I felt the same way. I only managed to play the tutorial. For the first time in years I couldn't wait to rush home, start up STO and level my character for some oldfashioned pewpew - but when I finally arrived, the game was down for maintenance and I fear that Rebirth (the best expansion ever and this player loves it)…
