Too bad my old Mk X/XI Omega gear is now entirely obsolete and I can't complete my Mk XI MACO space set on my Fed character. The fleet I ended up in is much better too--they don't drag everyone onto TeamSpeak to listen to their awful RL drama (my fleet leader from 2012 kind of creeped me out, he sounded like some misogynist stereotypical-Texas See that torpedo?

Wait, with the new doff UI you cant sort by jobs or traits or anything? Am I missing something? I go to assign a dude and all i get is a little unsortable pop up box with a list of all my dudes. Ah hahahahah if you have duplicates it doesn't notate which in the list have been placed already so trying to assign a bunch of Maela to support colony missions you just end up assigning the same one over and over cause they all look the same and it just moves him from slot to slot and wow gently caress this game.

Didn't ds9 already have an update at some point? Bit of an odd predicament now, most of my game time is spent grinding to equip my many alts with fancy space stuff. Knowing now that it won't be top of the line for long makes me want to stop while realizing that things need to move on at some point or everyone would quit.

For everyone coming back after a long hiatus take note that the base level of excitement related to this game is so low that the above passes for drama, excitement, and entertainment. We really should all quit and take up wood carving or something. "Some Trek radio DJ said "gently caress AL" on their convention livestream, not knowing the mic was on(referring to Gecko -- they were pissed Priority One got a shout out and not them) and I blew it out of proportion on the forums" That is the peak of fun to be had in STO. loving think about how lame that paragraph is and how lame that means the actual game is. Anyone that ever had an STO account should feel at least a twinge of embarrassment and shame for having a connection to any of this.

g0del posted:Keep in mind that the base level of excitement is low because there's not much to do in-game right now. The only recent addition is crafting which sucks. And while some of the crafted equipment is nice, it is by no means required. And thanks to the recent dil weekend, many of us have enough unrefined dil for weeks. I think it all speaks to a larger problem (which isn't a problem depending on your perspective), we grind infected runs or voth ground thing for dilithium to get newer and better ships which we then use to grind infected and get the next round of ships. The new expansion will hit and we will grind out its content and then use those rewards to do more ISE runs. But I do realize STO is far from the only game with this problem, but the queues are rather telling, sure you can get a pug group to run viscous cycle or breech but once everyone got their reps up those queues dropped massively. Although I do have a hard time being able to tell if I feel this way because I've been playing so long and become jaded to the game, there seems to be plenty of other content but I find most of it unfun or tedious.

That's one of the weird things, run times are kinda hosed. Doing a normal undine assault takes up to an hour (or feels that way) it's not due to difficulty but the raw tedium of killing the planet killer at the end. You spend upwards of 20-30 minutes sitting in place dumping shots into the weak spot while face tanking every blast and missle it ineffectually spits out. There is no challenge, nothing deadly to avoid, it's just a test of patience, "can you sit here long enough to watch the planet killer die before loving off from boredom." It's not something that "getting better at" or practice will improve, I already have top of the line guns so that's not it, it's just an exercise in sitting. On the other hand ISE is an elite difficulty mission that can be completed in 6 minutes or under on average. This mission is technically more challenging as you have to shoot things in the right order and getting too close to some things could kill you. In fact you could die 3 times in ISE, struggle the whole way and still be done faster than a normal undine assault. None of it makes sense and cryptics idea for an end boss wasn't something challenging or tricky, it's a giant screen filling thing whose best attack may knock 15% off your hull whose only "challenge" is wether you have the fortitude to stick around long enough to see it die.

Re: lack of talk about upcoming stuff. I'm going to propose that it's quite plausible that with an upcoming panel and "season 9.5" being about as lackluster as possible that those on the hook to provide a panel needed something, anything to talk about thus getting the okay to drop some vague hints about the next expansion. There aren't more details because those likely don't exist yet and don't be shocked come October that half the poo poo vaguely hinted at never materializes, this game has a long history of unfulfilled promises and horribly inaccurate dev. timelines. Still waiting patiently for that sci ship revamp. (Lol did we say sci ship revamp, no no no, were putting out new revamped sci ships with 2 deflectors, all those old lovely ships? Nah, no 2 deflectors for those, maybe next season!)

Skimming over some of the good posts in that thread it seems to me that the game is in need of massive sweeping changes to make it anything near balanced or at the least flat out better (more variety is useful abilities.) In the old days this would be totally doable, even when it was for the worse or killed games like Star Wars Galaxies, there was always the nuclear option of just ripping the old busted up patchwork system out and replacing it with something more modern. In a game like this however, so many people, myself included have invested a lot of money into what they currently have, even if I didn't pay for the zen that bought all my stuff myself, someone paid money for that somewhere along the line and it feels like in this kind of environment, massive sweeping changes would just murder the game dead. (Which I guess it did in other examples too, nevermind.)

I'm guessing it's because the Romulus pack had both leveling and endgame versions of the ships but this seems like a less good deal. Price is about the same but it feels like you're getting less. Glad to see they pretty much admit to going full on lazy with ship selections, Feds, you get 4 types, everyone else, fast or tanky, stop being so greedy. Remember when most of the KDF ships were a motley crew of weird cast offs? Sure almost all of them are garbage but at least there was a choice, now you get turns or tanks. Guys, I think STO is feeling like it did before dilithium. (Remember how stale the game got before the dilz update? I think I stopped playing for 8 months and didn't miss anything. They're constantly adding stuff but it's more FarmVille menus like crafting and doffs, less stuff you can actually do and the few new missions are always queue-less) Cyberball 2072 fucked around with this message at 03:25 on Sep 3, 2014 |

You know the more I think about it, my original problem with this stuff at its base was the idea that "they took our tricks away, it's gonna take time to get back on top and I don't like that" which isn't the most fair argument against something. But as I give it more thought I'm okay if it takes awhile to get all my ships re-kitted with MK 14 gear, it doesn't have to be all the best all the time. What does annoy me now is the thing I said a few weeks back, the time spent grinding the poo poo up to MK 14 will just be another 10000 ISE runs and gently caress that.

So how much did the update break things? I don't mean a bullet point list but in general, a lot? A little? I saw the bit about Boffs. I guess it's time to make the call if I want to buy the big get everything pack, or finally call it quits on this game, most of the things I've heard about the expansion are leaving a bad taste. Looking here and at reddit there is a big lack of people "gee whizzing!" at the new poo poo and that's making me really wonder if it's time to get out.
