Show me where games that are not XBLA games have the same policies? Hell I can't even find anything regarding policy for xbox development period outside of the TOS for the indi developer kit. It really all sounds to me like contract negotiations between the developer/publisher and MS. If it is as painful as you are trying…
Hey genius, you realize you linked articles relating specifically to xbox live arcade which is not a category sto would fall in, right? But please continue your "research". Here, I'll help you. I can link stuff too. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XBLA http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Xbox_Live_Arcade_games Note from the…
By your logic, the forums here are DLC. Sorry but you're comparing apples to oranges. You tried to make it sound as if seasonal releases are optional downloads for sto and you would be charged for them. The qualifier I specifically used for paid dlc was 'optional', which does not apply to this topic what so ever. Those…
CE, even on elite is easy to counter. Take a tachyon beam with you, it kills the stacking damage buff it gets from absorbing small shards... if you're flying a carrier use at least 1 hangar of delta flyers or similar if you don't have tachyon beam, even the blue ones for EC make a huge difference. Spew em out every time…
yeah except they're moving from power pc architecture to x86 architecture which will make game development for them a lot easier, but no, you're right, they're the same systems. derp.
remind me again what mmo that's on xbox live you're basing this on? Far as i know there isn't any, though world of tanks is coming soon... but I don't guess that would fit in the same genre as sto or wow or the like. MS wont run anything for STO because they wouldn't want this 3rd rate game on their services... though i'm…
what hole did you pull all of this from? no wait, don't tell me, your TRIBBLE. For starters, MS announced yesterday, at E3, that they are dropping the point system for purchases and moving to direct cash purchases, just like with the MS store apps in windows 8. Not that it makes a difference really, in the long run it all…
you do realize enabling those settings prevents you from tab targeting hostile pets and projectiles, including crystal shards and sphere pets from unimatrix things and other stf boss mobs, right?
that is incorrect, pike was captain of the enterprise before kirk took command. The JJ alternate time line has nothing to do with the mirror universe. It is simply an alternate timeline.
there's a difference between a bug fix and equipment designed for pvp. I've yet to see anything in this game that's specifically designed for pvp. Yes, there are gear and skills that have more utility in pvp than pve, but it was all made for pve. You get what, kerrat and private matches? What kinda pvp rewards do you get?…
this game isn't made for pvp, why would I bother with that? pvp is and always will be an afterthought for anything that goes into this game and tryin to fux with it for the sake of the 10 people that pvp doesn't ever work out well. There's a reason why in just about every other mmo theres separate gear for pvp if the game…
that console doesn't make you invincible, even with elite fleet shields. there's such a thing as bleed through, dots, etc. shield tanking is only half of tanking and if you cant keep your hull up too, then it doesn't matter if you got full shields or not. borg still can take down your shields and rip you apart with a mega…
is it really the console that needs nerfed or does over healing not need to be counted towards leader boards? Or is this just a ploy to get people to buy the cstore ship and a planned nerf to the console in the coming weeks once the money has been made?
Oh absolutely, I agree with this completely. Theres always people out there willing to spend hundreds per month to buy more zen to sell for dil. I'm grateful to them because they're essentially paying for me to get all the fun toys. I appreciate them enhancing my playing experience!
If people are silent, how do you know what they are thinking? You have a big WE LOVE CRYPTIC rally and sit around a camp fire telling stories of when they were good at game development? Musta been one really quiet and awkward rally. Id really like to know what these other mmo's are that have all the problems that cryptic…
The episode is Descent, and that ship would be ginormous. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SfjD8kvYRQo See 0:03 in relation to the Enterprise. That ship would be way to big to be in game imo.
I'll give cryptic one thing, their artist team has definitely come a long way. The new content in visual quality is a vast improvement over previous iterations. However, eye candy isn't enough to make STO a quality game. The coders, be it from lack of experience or just not having enough of them, can't get the job done.…
im forced to wonder exactly what kind of power CBS really holds over cryptic... I mean we've never seen any kind of official endorsement in this game from CBS other than the copyright logo. I wonder if a letter writing campaign to CBS wouldn't do us any good?
oh I have no doubt in cryptics eyes that full disclosure would be bad PR for them. all of the avid defenders would experience mass head explosions and dead people can't buy more zen to sell for dil. New players would be like... well this would be a waste of time to play. The "I told you so" threads would multiply like…
