I made a thread on the forums not so subtly mocking all the bizarre pubbie complaint threads that inevitably get created after the launch of any season, FE, expansion, and so on, and, to my utter shock and dismay, it appears that many pubbies 1. didn't get it, or 2. took it completely seriously anyway

Not really, but they should be archived for the next generation (lol) of dentals. Should add free of dental or whatever it was called for posterity as well.

@Lake1771 has gone full retard in his channel and has a few sycophantic groupies with him.

[TheTradingChannel] Dillan@smallchange0: Alright... So... The only way to beat it - would be to hit it when he's not using said bot... Like, when his power's out for example :P
[TheTradingChannel] Lt.CommanderData@androidtribbles: rofl
[TheTradingChannel] Dillan@smallchange0: Now then... all i need is an address... and we got this.
[TheTradingChannel] Dillan@smallchange0: So, if Cryptic would get off their lazy butt and ban his account? would the TTC be returned to it's former glory?
[TheTradingChannel] Pete@lake1771: its quite possible
[TheTradingChannel] Lt.CommanderData@androidtribbles: Lel their macros are really cute
[TheTradingChannel] Eamane@Dukedom: bans in a f2p game are pointless
[TheTradingChannel] Dillan@smallchange0: Good that, now to gather my minons and report him 200 times.
[TheTradingChannel] Dillan@smallchange0: Ture eamane, but if he's out, we can keep him out...
[TheTradingChannel] Lt.CommanderData@androidtribbles: interesting... I wonder if they have power inall channels
[TheTradingChannel] Pete@lake1771: you probably have them muted.
[TheTradingChannel] Pete@lake1771: they dont have any power at all dude they just use third party software to chat and datamine
[TheTradingChannel] Pete@lake1771: channel mutes are completely broken now
[TheTradingChannel] Dillan@smallchange0: I never mute anyone xD
[TheTradingChannel] Dillan@smallchange0: As in, ignore-wise
[TheTradingChannel] Pete@lake1771: weather or not they did that i dont know but they're definitley taking advantage of it
[Tell] To Dillan@smallchange0: {{REMOVED MY REAL ADDRESS}} you should visit sometime
[Tell] Dillan@smallchange0: Good that, i'll make sure to rape you real good
[Tell] Dillan@smallchange0: xD
[Tell] To Dillan@smallchange0: you can try, that is quite homosexual, i dont have anything against homosexuals, but it is criminal as well
[Tell] Dillan@smallchange0: How do you know I'm not a chick? you seen through my fascad... I'm a sad pone.
[Tell] To Dillan@smallchange0: you can be a female if you want, but i very much doubt it
[Tell] Dillan@smallchange0: :P Stop doubting my doubting of your doubt >_>
[Tell] To Dillan@smallchange0: anyways, you should stop by, if you did i might even buy you a beer, but you wont, since anyone who wants to know where someone lives is too much of a chicken to actually show up

So @Lake1771 makes a new channel called FairTrade to keep away from the NoP and denalt trools. What happens 5 minutes after it has been made? Already has infiltrators. I don't understand how these people remember to breathe.

I know I'm sounding like an annoyed sperg who is basically saying "But WoW does it!!!111one", but I can hop on a flying mount in WoW, move, turn any direction I want instantly, and stop on a dime, and I never had anything approaching the issues I'm having. I didn't even get out of what I think was the tutorial (I was trying to find some cloaked Klingon ship when my spergstration got too high), but like I said, I got frustrated quickly.

I suppose I'll try it again in a bit, but really I was just looking for something to sate my need for entertainment and I was in a bit of a ST kick, and my issues turned me off.

If you want to point the front of the ship directly at what your looking at, hold down both mouse buttons. In space one mouse button clicked moves the camera, two mouse buttons controls direction and camera.

Further follow up on that Diligram hack, looks like there's some Germans claiming we must be hackers because we kick the poo poo out of them in pvp so clearly we also hacked the website. Google translate is pretty lovely, any native speakers able to give a run down or weigh in and tell them they're idiots? http://sto-forum.de.perfectworld.eu/showthread.php?s=c3423f145517e65b92b57462d6ea7b57&p=4801472#post4801472

Translated that post as well as I could. Stuff in parentheses are added by me to make it more clear.

quote:

This is all in all very questionable, yes. But all in all nothing
really new.

There are trolls in STO, of course. There are (trolls) everywhere on the internet, ok.

STO is cheated a lot with bots and exploits, this has been known for a long time. But even that will probably apply to almost any other online game.

That there channels are "hacked" or stolen other wise ... not much point (to stealing a channel). Since there is per se not much to get from it now? If they had stolen fleets (is this) even possible? it would be something else, I have heard of such
Events, even though the Rumors were said as actual facts.

If I could encourage the author thereof (the OP) to (translate) the post on here to English
to send it to the admins? That would make more sense eventually. Because I take it
that the majority of us here can do very little.

This is because reddit is a poo poo heap filled with broken people. If you need to spend more then an hour a year on moderation of the community you have built, its hopeless and beyond repair.

Preechr posted:

You get a token for every lockbox you open and don't get a ship. When you have... I think it was 130? Maybe 150. Anyway, past that number of tokens, your chance to get a ship multiplies by 10. If you somehow get 250 tokens, the next box should be a ship. Tokens are cleared when you get a ship.

This does not apply to specials, like bugships. Those are flat percentages with no guarantees.


Mr Wikstroem posted:

It's a testament to how non-transparent all the mechanics of this game are when I have no idea whether or not you guys are just taking the piss or not. I mean on the one hand it would take a shitload of boxes to figure out and it's a really stupid system but on the other hand I know that some of you have enough in-game riches to basically buy the game twice over and still have money left and Cryptic isn't exactly known for their brilliant design decisions.

The quote from Preechr is actually how it works. Its by type of lockbox so you if you want a galor from boxes you have to open cardassian boxes only.

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.

Good news everyone, the wiki has been migrated to our new server and upgraded with the latest updates. You can now request a password reset via email so no reason to bother Grimrak about forgetting your password anymore. User group validation will still require a post to gate the pubbies out of accessing information.

Later in the week I will also be moving the site from http to https with an ssl certificate. If you experience any problems with the new setup please post in the thread. I expect the current upgrades and future upgrades to be seamless and require no interaction on your part; rejoice.

Also I have a 4790k and a 980ti and STO runs worse then Battlefield 4. Still get 90+ fps no matter what my settings are at, turn everything down to the lowest get ~130fps turn everything to max and get ~120fps. Once you hit a performance threshold the UI thread limits you from getting any more fps out of your system.
