While the underlying message is seemingly, "[the doff system is busted and annoys me enough that I will stop participating]", there seems to be a bigger, more real, message here. A "hey Cryptic, I'm not sucking yours if your not sucking mine" message - also known as Grade A Trolling. The type of trolling not to be confused…
Your wall of words aside, get rid of captain professions and the problems will solve itself. Or did you think the whole "switching between reputation system powers" idea is something Cryptic came up with? No, it came from people saying "captain professions make no sense, let players choose captain powers from a list of all…
"Everyman" generally has a job that keeps them from wasting time in a time-waster (i.e. video game) anytime but the weekends - and there are not enough days in the weekends of a month for the "everyman" to complete it even then. The sad reality is Cryptic is just another developer trying to make a buck off of an IP older…
I'ma gonna be the bearer of bad news here sport - this has nothing to do with PVE, there is no "playing field" to balance there. Let the server shutdown and be done with it. But, but, they want pvp players to stop whining!
So what you're saying is, the Shadow threat can only be eliminated by taking out the Vorlon first? You mean the "REBOOT" of the "mark system" in spite of the whole "we don't like the idea of marks" stunt they pulled for the F2P2W conversion? Yes, clearly that is a legitimate reason to make the "[CBS says only a few people…
Wait, I'm confused, is this your response to "the reputation powers are the only thing the system has going for it" is to gut its only selling feature based on an absurd "what if" scenario (200 reputation powers = decades, plural, of development) which is used to derive an even more absurd conclusion (that such a massive…
Cryptic won't care until someone files a lawsuit and/or a legislator drops a bunch of anti-corporate legislation on the table dealing with their virtual goods distribution model particularly given the whole "online gambling" aspect of it. That aside, I quoted volunteer moderator askray's publicly posted comment within…
If Cryptic ever becomes so desperate that they look to ideas such as yours to bring in financing from the player base that will be the sign that "the servers are shutting down".
Why would Cryptic put in any real effort at all when they can just pull the "REBOOT" (or in this case "Re-REBOOT" with ensign becoming cadet "recently") card out of their hat and completely forgo the unpleasantness of having to do any real work in favor of their preferred path of little-to-no-resistance? They could…
Man, if people are mad about the borg set NOW they should've been here before Cryptic went all "REPUTATION MADNESS" on everything. You could hull tank in pretty much anything.
Yeah, I'm getting the feeling that the people responsible for this did not actually watch Voyager so much as binged on Korean SC2 tournaments one weekend and went "HEY, HEY GUYS; YOU KNOW WHAT WOULD BE COOL? PROTOSS!" Like I said - SC2 binge.
Wait what, you're getting rid of the one thing that made sense? The whole "GOOD JOB CAPTAIN, HAVE A COOKIE!"? Tell me you're putting Borg Neurals and Voth Cybernetics and all TRIBBLE like this into the currency pile at least? *reads rest of post* Nope, still wasting my space with your need to sell space. Speaking of space,…
So what you're saying is - Cryptic's "code engineers" were responsible for this, as the ship-modelling/node-placing people have not been involved since the dev leak of the Galaxy X saucer separation around two years ago?
Dunno about this "immune to Borg assimilation" bit; the "nano-probe torpedo" used in Scorpion (part 2) seemed to do a fairly good job "assimilating" Species 8472 to death.
Maybe it's a conspiracy. Maybe they are the only David H of all the people. Or maybe David H was such a common entry name that it was selected so that nobody would ever know. Maybe it's a conspiracy.
What does fiction have to do with meta-game-play? And why would it be better for captains to be as limited as boffs? Are you suggesting they do away with professions?
Looks like a lot of static; lets clean up the frequency: Lucky for you that my post does not say "Aquarius is an Escort because I say it is" then, otherwise you would no longer be batting 1000 in the failure department and somebody might actually think you have a principal!
Dude, get your spyware off my computer - I held off posting a thread on improving torpedoes right before you posted yours. Oh, and 1 - maybe, 2 no, 3 no, 4 no. As I was going to post (but held off on) - Torpedoes should do full damage to shields with no bleed through, then spillover when their damage will break a facing,…
The moment your posts are not out-and-out willful efforts of yours to maliciously violate various forum rules (e.g. trolling, flaming, off-topic comments, derogation, ...) the server may crash. How sad for you it must be to be putting so much effort into doing so on these forums where the game is so erratic nobody will…
Funny, your words initially indicate you want the link I already provided in the original post, and have excised into a quote below for dramatic effect: But the full subtext says, among other questionable things, that you really want consultation in the form of a website accessible resource concerning the proper user of…
Eh, dump the ensign altogether and add its slot to the LT-Tac. Problem with seating solved. As for the lance: we have an older thread about making it a weapon item in builds/mechanics/powers. For whatever reason the moderators have decided "not to move and merge threads on one topic" which is really funny given how they…
The Javelin attached to Siege Mode is mechanically and fictionally disparate from the weapon portrayed in the series on the "Future Enterprise." And given how any beam weapon is a lance within the context of the term lance, while only the Guramba has a spinal-weapon within context of the term spinal weapon, I must ask:…
orangeitis, the "Aquarius-Destroyer" is an escort so far as the term escort actually applies within the game. Anything contradictory (even from empoyees of PWE/Cryptic) about the game's current architecture is simply erroneous. The cause of your confusion is the irreconcilably bad ship definitions meta-game. Here is the…
