There are countless things they can change about the design to make this a better game, or even an actual game rather than an interactive story. :p The problem is development cost vs how much money are they going to make by doing it. While you may have millions of great ideas, unless it can be done relatively cheaply and…
There are 3 types of cooldowns: Ability cooldown System cooldown Duplicate ability cooldown You mentioned Fire at Will. it starts with an ability cooldown of 70 seconds and reduces down to 30 seconds as you level up. Once you use FAW (any rank) it will begin the ability cooldown. It also begins a duplicate ability cooldown…
I find it pretty easy to get nukara marks, i am not sure if i am bugged or not but those ground missions seem to keep resetting for me, not sure if they are meant to be daily or not.
It's a Faaaaaake! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CNymkWXIZpk This is the Federation Prime Directive. This is Klingon Honour. Liars, murderers, cowards. Needed the might of the Romulan Empire to save both your miserable, pitiful, weak and worthless empires. I spit in your general direction!
I agree entirely. I walk into a bar and put out a few fires with my extinguisher and I am subjected to racial slurs and hate filled rants because I am in a fleet that feels strongly about dental hygiene, and fire safety. I think it is very poor roleplay. We strive to set a great example in the community but have to put up…
Sure, losing one point here or there is not the end of the world and sure you can save a lot of point if you do not max out and specialise but when you have so many different multiplicative bonuses they actually pan out to be significant numbers in the end. The point is you are inferior in any ship you fly if you do not…
MMOs are about achievements, development and acquisitions. I think character development in STO is very poor, if Cryptic was looking at extending the level I would implore them to instead overhaul some of their core mechanics in the process. STO does not have the content that you want to rush to max level. When people in…
It is stupid to link the Carrier pet with the actual JHAS and only morons would think that this a good idea. It is just plain greed in an obnoxious manner. I have a JHDC but I'd rather drive a knitting needle through my eye than reward Cryptic for sheer idiocy and greed. Luckily, some of the other less obnoxious to acquire…
I am surprised a major developer hasn't coded a proper speech synthesizer which could emulate any type of voice or even accent, it is something current technology can emulate. Then you could just convert text to voices, with control codes in there to express emotion or emphasis. Then you could save a particular voice type…
I think escort dps is fine, if they didn't do a lot of damage then nobody would fly them, the problem is damage has scaled a lot better than survivability has and there are more multiplicative damage abilities/console combos than there are defensive ones. I think cruisers should be a lot stronger defensively, more in the…
Well, if people don't like it they should use the capital mechanism in place for ensuring businesses meet a high enough standard for consumers, take your business elsewhere and if numbers drop significantly they will either have to shape up or ship out. Complaining on a forum has never achieved anything in MMO history,…
Just did the mirror universe with a romulan, 1 hour event, only 4 successful runs through, can usually do 4 in 15 minutes. If i didn't get that stupid error when trying to load I usually got auto-warped out within 5 seconds of loading in. Awesome to have these issues with timed events that pop up infrequently. You would…
So, is this a feature or a bug? If the maintenance patches or patch updates actually were more informative about what they are changing it wouldn't leave people scratching their heads about what is broken or what is working as intended. This just seems to me to be too dumb to be intentional, but it wouldn't be the first…
I ignored the advice, got rid of the fighters first, then the escorts because the friendly NPC ships (which can't be destroyed as they just repair up) split their fire too much and the elachi npcs do not respawn so it is just a process of elimination. Once the number of options are diluted you get enough NPC fire on the…
It is a currency, the purpose of any currency in a game is to use it in exchange for goods or services, which is what I do. The problem with STO is there is an infinite influx of currency and very low outflows of currency so a lot of the currency floats in the economy and it just gets circulated and the more currency in…
That is a naive view of MMO economics. The problem with MMOs is that money keeps flooding into the economy and the money sinks do not come close to balancing the economy so people who play for longer just accumulate more money. Most of the guys I know who have played for years don't play foundry missions at all and are at…
