Thought I might give this game a whirl since it's free but the last few pages are pretty doom and gloom. Will I get a fun experience albeit it could only be fun for a month. Since the OP is from last year, which server and faction is the main goon hangout these days? In regards to bring f2p, will I be pretty hosed unless I sub and/or buy ships etc?

Everything about how the cash shop, lockboxes, and collections are handled is so blatantly superior to STO's crippled take. Yeah I'm appreciating it for what it is. A Jedi Knight is basically a sweeping strikes tac officer.

I think that they'll make some big improvements with the next expansion where they are apparently tossing out some of the trappings of old-style MMO design.

Defiance Industries posted:I think that they'll make some big improvements with the next expansion where they are apparently tossing out some of the trappings of old-style MMO design. I mean hell, the collection in TOR is basically something STO needed two years ago. All those rare drops and lockbox items and store purchases are infinitely reclaimable? And you can account unlock them for a trivial-to-modest fee? Why the gently caress can't you do this for poo poo like lockbox ships and event doffs and all that other crap in STO? (The answer of course is their developers are incompetent and the backend code is useless and busy falling apart at the seams while the team continues to shrink.)

Asimo posted:Yeah. Honestly my only main problem with TOR right now is there's still a huge focus on random drops for progression and endgame raiding and such. It's not as strong as some of the competition, and it sounds like the expansion's focusing heavily on their best aspects (the solo storyline/small group story instance stuff) but skipping all that bullshit is one of the few things that made me keep playing STO even when Delta Rising hosed it all up. Of course it's hard to keep playing STO when there's no interesting puggable queues left, the new story arcs are astoundingly horrible, and they keep tightening the real money thumbscrews. Oh poo poo yes, that's awesome. I'd heard of it before but hadn't investigated the system deeply. The Imperial uniform I impulse bought on another server will be mine forever!

While I liked some of the storylines, it does have some problems. First off, it's Space WoW. Also, they somehow managed to make lightsabers the most boring non-visceral weapons in the whole game. It feels like you're waving glow sticks and not cutting into your enemies. And let's not kid ourselves. The free to play model they came up with is dogshit.

They're all bad, mate. TOR is at least an interesting change.

So regarding starting this game up, the responses haven't been overwhelmingly positive so avoid? E - If there's gently caress all goon presence, can't say I'd bother either.

Tai posted:So regarding starting this game up, the responses haven't been overwhelmingly positive so avoid? It's ok while you're levelling. The ship combat is still pretty fun, despite Cryptic's changes (you won't see the most bullshit until you hit level 50 and start trying to get to 60, that is a tedious boring grind.) The most fun left for most of us is the meta, making certain pubbies (hi Xean, I know you're reading this thread!) angry at us just by playing and being all round great guys to the community, hosing down erpists and furries with fire extinguishers, etc. There's no real end game beyond the gear treadmill and buying all of the latest release ships with the money we make from our false disability paycheques from the government, so if you're looking for an mmo that'll keep you entertained beyond what, the couple weeks it takes to hit 50? Don't bother. The goon presence is dying off and especially dead right now due to it being between major season and holiday updates, next time one of those hits should see an upswing in players. The development studio has no idea how to effectively monetise the game and has changed it from casual fun time to gently caress YOU BUY OUR SHIPS RIGHT NOW SPEND ALL YOUR MONEY WE DON'T CARE BUY BUY BUY and the smart money is on the game being dead Soon(tm). If that doesn't sound fun to you, then yeah, avoid. Otherwise head in and be a star trek captain without the child molestation.

Meh, there are goons around but most of the people who still actively log in are furries, bronies, people who get super defensive about their Star Treks and Thunderpoopin. Stare not into the abyss and what not.

Tai posted:So regarding starting this game up, the responses haven't been overwhelmingly positive so avoid? It's not really a game that has large scale raids and stuff. There are almost always enough goons on to do the group content, which is all 5-man stuff. And the real fun is interacting with the lovely pubbie community, you can almost always rustle up somone to enjoy that with you. In spite of our relatively small numbers compared to other mmos, goons do have a serious -presence- in the game. The goon fleet Starfleet Dental is the most well known guild in the game, and reviled by a lot of the population. You sometimes get hate messages just for being there and having the guild tag. There are a lot of pubbies with a lot of grudges and grievances against goons that still fester after a loooong time. The game community is mainly organized by chat channels, and the largest channel in the game is the goon created and operated channel "NoP public service," which literally revolutionized the game for people by offering free access to completed guild / fleet stores and items. It's not a -terrible- game if you like pictures of Star Trek stuff, and it's still pretty casual. We've got a mumble and some of the goons who don't actually play much still keep an external chat client running, so there's a good knowledge base so you don't waste your time with dumb builds and stuff. The main thing is just don't give them any money.

http://www.arcgames.com/en/games/star-trek-online/news/detail/9476673-star-trek-online%3A-akira-class-remodel They're remodelling the Akira. Yay. That model was horrible. I hope this means they're redoing the defiant. Then again, they didn't re-do the Excelsior.

Is it possible to get to wherever the pubbies hang out straight away once you can fly around, or will they just outright ignore anyone who's of a certain rank?
