Tunicate posted:Yeah, but as far as I can tell the minimap is the worst of it. I'm guessing it pings the location of every entity on the map every refresh, assembles a full map, then only draws the part that fits inside the little square Every piece of UI code polls the info it needs on every frame drawn. The UI isn't event driven at all and that is the reason it runs like poo poo. The better your frame rate the harder it hits the CPU.

In theory it was redone during Delta Rising, but only for ability cooldowns. Which is why they had horrible loving input lag for two months or so there until that got sorted out*, and I imagine they didn't bother to fix the map or anything else, no. (*Except for the still persistent bug of activating a power, getting the shared cooldown, but not actually getting the buff.  )DancingShade posted:I've no idea why Risa of all places lags now. Either they're running more instances on the same server (likely) or somehow one of the ground traits that came out on the past year causes excessive server lag on the same map for some unknowable reason (also likely).

I have never seen a seasonal event as sparsely populated as this one. Risa is a ghost town every time I log on.

The population cap per instance is 40 however and most social zones used to be around 70 if I recall. It also didn't help that the sand castle and powerboard race actively causes players to seek out low population zones.

Some of this is because the Risa map runs like poo poo because Cryptic can't fix their game.

Asimo posted:But eh. Overall it's probably an alright change? I guess? But it goes back to the fact that there wasn't a need to "fix" advanced queues in the first loving place, and that they'll still be more tedious and less rewarding than they were before delta rising (since the optionals aren't getting any easier for pubs to not gently caress up, you just aren't entirely screwed when they do), and changes like this really needed to be made five or six months ago when there were still enough people playing the game for it to actually matter. So in the end I guess the real question is how many centimeters does this move their head out of their rear end and how many more inches are left to go? I'm really curious how quickly this moves people back into these missions or if the damage is already done.

What really is there to do in the endgame if you're not doing queues? Besides doing infinite Argala runs (which you can't grind anymore because of cooldowns) and spraying pubbies with fire extinguishers?

His fee fees must have been super hurt. Pander harder to the worst part of the playerbase Bort, you're doing a bang up job!

It's almost like he's really poo poo at doing the work he is actually supposed to do without prompting. Now I'm not saying he's incompetent or anything but... no gently caress it, I don't have a joke. He's an idiot who can't prioritise work tasks and needs a manager telling him what to do. Some people just can't manage self directed work.

T6 Vet ships http://www.arcgames.com/en/games/star-trek-online/news/detail/9359773-star-trek-online%3A-new-t6-veteran-destroyers They're free for vets. T5 Versions have been moved to a Level 40 requirement from 50. A fleet version will be released a later date. These really came out of nowhere. I really wasn't expecting it.

Is anyone else having a problem getting into the game after the last patch update? I can log in fine, get to the character selection screen, but upon entering the actually game, I immediately get the "Server Not Responding" message for about 25 seconds before disconnecting. Not sure what the issue is, as I've had no connectivity problems prior to this morning's update.

Railrokh and I decided to do a random giveaway event yesterday on Risa. Xean was around. It snowballed from there, with plenty of others joining in with giving things away. http://pastebin.com/PR9uNQB7 Highlights are Xean yapping on and on about giving a stack of lolwut favours to some random pubbie. LordCo gives the random pubbie a stack to repay loan shark Xean and an additional stack just because. Pubbie might've been spacepoor, but he does his best to join in the event later by giving away tribbles. Also: [9:36] [Zone #8] Xean@xtern1ty: @Edwards, disapprove is more like it, I know a couple of undercover nice guys in Dental though, they feed me the insider info I need [9:45] [Zone #8] Xean@xtern1ty: Marauder, what have you to say about that... you're forgetting who actually is generous, are you [9:48] [Zone #8] Xean@xtern1ty: But let's be fair, I give that help for a reasonable price And... [9:54] [Zone #8] Xean@xtern1ty: I'm not the one posting my fleet every ten seconds, pff trolls are so predictable. Says the biggest self-advertiser in STO. [9:58] [Zone #8] Xean@xtern1ty: take their freebies guys, but remember they're trolls, don't make them let you feel like you owe them and must pay homage, because you don't have to. Who often follows up his poor advice by strongly hinting they should pay homage by joining his channel/fleet.

I too have the insider info on dental. We all quit cause the game sucks. Fascinating bit of intel I just dropped. According to the STO Facebook alongside T6 Vet ships there is another lifetime sale. For a game in this state with its expected lifespan that oughta be illegal. LIFETIME* MEMBERSHIPS JUST $199! *lifetime not expected to exceed 12 months.
