What you are seeing is the same thing that caused major outrage when Season 7 hit. There are three golden rules to MMO game design that Perfect World is so excited about violating that they can't seem to think of new ways to do it fast enough. You can spot these three motivating factors behind every move they make. Here…

This happens with my GTX 680 all the time. Faces flicker, especially when I use right mouse to orbit the camera. In character customization, the skin textures specially, flicker to black and sometimes stick that way until I wave the mouse pointer over the menu choices. Presumably this is related to space and other textures…

... aaaaaand now it worked. (Spock raises one eyebrow)

The game was working earlier today, despite this warning on the launcher. Now it crashes every time, and doesn't allow time to fill out the crash report before it quits to desktop. I have tried complete file checks and it still crashes. What the hell? Players are most definitely affected.

You've hit the nail on the head. Dan Stahl has turned Star Trek Online into Farmville. No wonder I hate it! Perfect World has ruined my favorite game.

If it was down to yes or no, all or nothing right now, I would have to say yes. Warts and all, I was having a lot of fun in Season 6. I can't stand it now. It's like a forced labor simulator being marketed as a fun game. STO was fun because the player had many opportunities to make choices, not just about what to do but…

They abolished all the choices that made the game interesting and appealing to a wide audience. They have deliberately compounded the amount of tedious grind required and removed alternative ways of accomplishing goals. I used to have fun trying out all the different character builds that might be viable, and happily spent…

I have to share this. It's from another post, entitled "A perspective from our fleet members" and it is relevant to this thread. nicha0 wrote:

Well, as long as Perfect World and Cryptic continue to heap insult upon injury and ignore the justified outrage of the player base, the higher level my stupid Jedi will grow. SWTOR is a terrible game, but I have no desire to login to STO only to have all my choices taken away and pay for the privilege. They really picked a…

Why don't you read the following forum thread? "Cryptic's compromise - are we happy with it?" To summarize it, a lot of people are not accepting this feint as compromise. They want an apology for these dirty tactics and for lying to us. They want you to look at the elephant still in the room, the giant dilithium paywall…

They are pissing on us and telling us it's raining. I'm sorry that a lot of people seem unable to figure that out, but those of us who have are understandably angry about it.

This just appeared on Star Trek Online facebook page: and then the following comments:
-
This doesn't address the glaring issue of the huge dilithium paywall that has gone up around STF loot. It merely cancels, in part, a threat to eliminate many existing ways for players to earn dilithium, and hopes nobody will bring up the elephant in the room. They are still increasing the hassle by a thousand percent and…

That reminds me. Are there any games that don't suck? I'm trying to think of one to fill the void left by Star Trek Online, now that it's been ruined in favor of more more more short term profit. Why deliver a fun game when you can trick players out of their money, call it "free to play" while raising paywalls around…

Game developers today largely follow a business model that involves leveraging a lot of hype, marketing, and paid reviews, usually promising a sequel to an already popular franchise, selling lots of pre-orders, and then delivering a dire insult as a finished product. For example, Diablo 3, SWTOR. This is equally true of…
-
At least the old system wasn't window dressing for a substantial dilithium paywall. Even for mk X equipment. You're talking about Mk XII stuff there, which was arguably an excessive grind.
-
I just want to add that I was having fun. Despite my growing misgivings about the horribly unethical lottery ticket scam you've adopted as your business model, I was actually enjoying grinding up my toons in all the different possible ways. I knew the system was set up to enable that and profit from it, as I purchase the…
-
The dilithium paywall you're throwing up in the now ultra-grindy STF loot system is shameful, and the players are fools for not complaining loudly about it.

Season 7 looks like little more than an attempt to pollute the rest of end-game with the fleet project interface, itself a deal-breaker for a lot of players who realize that fleets are essentially a scam to make players pay real money for fleet ship modules. It's like forcing players to do crafting in addition to earning…

They should add a passive ability above a certain rank called something like "field retrofit" which adds an appropriate amount of upgrades to lower-tier ships, making them almost competitive with the free level-up ships. This could be granted to anyone over a certain rank, with scaled upgrades, or perhaps for Vice Admirals…

Now it's "What Lies Beneath" which has serious BOFF pathing issues.
-
I am frustrated to find these same bugs, many of which have appeared only since the latest patch featuring their lotto ticket extravaganza. Night of the Comet is one I do frequently and these fragment spawn issues are new. Similarly, Of Bajor is one I run a lot, and news that it is bugged now is new to me, and presumably…

When I logged in to my Orion female KDF Commander, she appeared topless at character selection. In addition to missing combadge and rank options, legs disappearing, I have also noticed the collar/neckline area disappearing when wearing the Original Series Loose Top.

I get these giant stupid blurry blobs in EVERY SPACE ENCOUNTER. This huge glaring visual bug is at least a month old and not even listed in known graphical issues sticky thread? Look at these screen shots. This is pretty shoddy if something so (1) visually stupid, and which (2) really hinders gameplay, can go completely…
