Games Star Trek MMO

[PLightstar]

Haven't played that since the patch update. I'll go back and check it out later.

 

[Talyn]

I've still not done either of the task forces missions. Are you lot pugging them? I keep hoping we'll get 5 members online at the same time, but everyday... nothing...

 

[Ctuchik]

Because you wanna snb and vm?
Really I hate those two skills I use vm but then again its such a cheap spaceability.

Im gonna reroll something too.. maybe a fed/klingon sci.. (Then I have all the 3 classes.)

VM is getting nerfed, its aparently gonna end up being a subsystem shutdown skill of some sort.

theres a mention about that in one of those "ask cryptic" i think.

 

[Ctuchik]

Haven't tried the new Fed PvP.

its not bad, friendlier atmosphere there then in KvF where its one side whining at the other because of random "OP" skill.

tho i have to say that its ALOT easier to survive against a klingon now.

and man oh man did that carrier nerf come down hard.....

it went from incredibly OP to something you laugh at and ignore.

 

[PLightstar]

Is it just me but within game maps like deepspace encounters and missions it is harder for you to see enemy ships in the distance, before you could spot them a mile off. Used to useful in Deepspace because you could see the size of the force in a group or head towards another group, I now find myself always pressing tab to try and find another group to fight. In a patrol mission I didn't know there were enemies until I was right ontop of them.

 

[Talyn]

I see them as 'enemies' from about 25Km away, and can tab target them. Once I hit 15Km, I find out what the enemy is.

What sort of distances are we talking with yours.

 

[PLightstar]

Same distance as you, but for some reason since the patch, ships are alot harder (almost impossible) to see against the backdrop of space. before the update I could see the ships with my eyes at 25km, I might trying experimenting with the graphics settings to make the ships stand out more.

 

[Talyn]

Ah, I've always gone by the brown/red(?) box surrounding the mob. I usually can't make out the actual ship until I get within 20Km - my eyes ain't that good!

I did a PvE kingon explore mission the other day, it was to find and scupper 5 feddie ships. I found 2, then gave up after spending like 30 mins looking for the others.

I have most of my gfx to high, so not sure if your settings will help or not. My only suggestion is to tipp-ex the screen when you find them, then you'll know where they are!

 

[Z^^]

what are your guys ingame names?
IF we might go and shoot some stuff or something or I see you in pvp

As i'm moving on sat I won't be able to play till weds/thurs next week, i'm guna be 5 days without internet or cable tv. Not sure what I am supposed to do with my free time, without the internet.

How's the content chaps? Has there been any decent amount of addition to it since launch? I don't follow this game relgiously even though some guildmates are playing it but its on my dippy-toe list at some point if they add enough content to make it worth playing for a decent amount of time.

 

[Ctuchik]

its mostly been bug fixes so far. they have added one end game "raid" mission and a pvp map but thats pretty much it in terms of proper content.

sub running out on the 10th and i dont think i'l resub before klingons get their promised pve.

STO forums usually end badly

 

[Talyn]

But unlike the official forums, there are a lot less cnuts here.

 

[Z^^]

cnuts? *Raises a hand*

 

[Talyn]

rearrange the letters to spell a word the filters would catch. It's to do with ladyparts.

no no dont worry I got it.

 

[Talyn]

But yes, my point was, all there is on the official forums is those cnuts whinging, moaning, and throwing toys out of pram.

Freddys is like the sweet heavenly sanctuary away from the knobs!

 

[PLightstar]

I would agree to that, those forums seem to be getting worse and worse, I thought they would improve with people not liking STO leaving. Guess I was wrong.

 

[Ctuchik]

they are the only ones left playing

i canceled my sub a few weeks back anyway. cant be arsed playing when theres only half a game to play.

 

[PLightstar]

I am still playing, depending on the next big patch, I will decide to stop or carry on. Not sure about the Death Penalty at the moment, they have put it into the test server and you have to pay to repair your ship, which I don't like the idea of as I play alot of PvE I don't have much money. I got a 6month sub, still I still got time left to try all the new stuff yet.

6 month sub?

Don't people ever learn with MMO's? never ever go for that option unless you are 4 months down the line and the game is totally awesome.

 

[PLightstar]

Its my first MMO, played a bit of Guild Wars years ago. I loved every second of STO during the Beta and until about last week when I got annoyed with the broken quest that is The Big Dig, unless you get a good bunch of people together its almost impossible to beat. too many objectives and the respawn of NPC's is 2secs.

Nice to see they finally sort of fixed the exchange and happy to see that Viral Matrix can be reversed somewhat.

vm whent from being a top skill to one of the worst.

True but I think the split difficulty is the best thing about this update, gives people who were moaning about penalties both sides of the coin. If you don't want it you don't have it, very clever tbh.

 

[Ctuchik]

Well thats me ditching this game.

that injury system (which btw is STILL a fucking annoyance rather then a penalty) is really badly thought through.

/edit:

but you HAVE to accept it if you want to play on higher difficulties, you cant option that away.
