Tribble Test Weekend Announced
By PWE_BranFlakes @ November 1, 2012 at 1:30pm

This coming weekend is a Tribble Test Weekend! Not only can you test out the new content releasing with the launch of Season 7: New Romulus, but you can earn a special reward for doing so. Information about our upcoming content update can be found throughout the Season 7 News Dev Blog Index.
Log on to Tribble and test Season 7 this weekend from the time Tribble is patched with its update tomorrow until 10AM PDT on Monday, November 5th*. We’ll be collecting lots of data and feedback this weekend as we prepare for the launch of “New Romulus”. You’ll have a chance to play with the developers, and for our more serious testers, we have a special reward in store to thank you for coming out and helping us to make Season 7 the best update yet!
11/2 UPDATE @ 3:32 – Tribble has been patched and the Test Weekend officially started when the servers came back up.
While you are testing, please leave your feedback in the “Tribble – General Discussion and Feedback” forum found here.
Tribble Test Weekend Reward
Play on Tribble for at least one (1) hour and earn an exclusive reward. The reward will be revealed and available at a currently unannounced date after the launch of Season 7.
For more information on the Tribble Test Server, including instructions on how to download the test server and how to transfer a character from Holodeck to Tribble, please read this FAQ.
We're looking forward to seeing you on Tribble and reading your feedback!
*IMPORTANT NOTES: As Tribble is a test environment, and while we are planning on the latest update to it to go live tomorrow, it is subject to change – please watch the “Tribble – Announcements and Release Notes” forum here for information. If there are any changes to the Tribble Test Weekend plans, we will update this post and the forum thread linked below.

kristiancalditar @ Nov 13th, 2012 10:48AM
so will there be a new romulan faction?
tbarlow @ Nov 6th, 2012 11:33PM
Season 7 Seems great so far when will it be out ?
khirishs @ Nov 5th, 2012 6:38PM
ive noticed quite a few helpfull comments on this list. quite handy as its my first time on the tribble server. a very different expeiriance from playing the regular game. and im quite sad that the KDF is still getting screwed over in the update part. might as well just combine the two factions there is so little going on for them

New Romulus is simply Amazing!! well done Devs! I haven't had that much fun simply exploring in a long time! I hope Vulcan, Andoria and Risa get the same treatment some day! !

LOVE Season on Trible..love it..love it..love it! ----BUT---- Devs...*PLEASE* fix the problems with the graphics and how they affect onboard Intel graphic video cards. I was only able to run Tribble for the bare minimum 60 minutes to qualify for the reward, because my video card was on the verge of melting down. Regulat holodeck is fine to play on recommended settings, but ---IF---- this is not resolved and you release Tribble without fixing th is issue...unfortunately I will not longer be able to play the game unless I buy a new vedeo card....so please---look into resolving this.

or clean out your computer and set the fans to 100%. They will shutdown if they should shut down before they over heat.

Had problems installing the patch, it took me 3 days as connectivity to the patch was not always online. However, once installed it worked perfectly. The new add-ons is excellent and the graphics on New Romulus is excellent.
jodmos2293 @ Nov 4th, 2012 10:38PM
i tried to test the new season, but the character copy kept failing.
captinjacksparow @ Nov 4th, 2012 5:25PM
can you still do this even if your tribble character is a low level? or do you have to have max level (50) ?
pinarge @ Nov 4th, 2012 1:16PM
Enjoyed New Romulus nice to have it on the panet missions ans mini missions. Mine trap was interesting . My only complaint is the ques reeally you have no info on how they are progressing . You cannot tell how many have joined the que , unless I am missing something. Otherwise some good stuff.
kriss257
I too like to see who is queue for specific misison. I realy don't like to wait and not knowing how many are in queue
borg3of25 @ Nov 4th, 2012 10:26AM
P.S. HEY Daniel Stahl very belated Welcome back .
borg3of25 @ Nov 4th, 2012 10:23AM
Played Tribble test . Not bad um found the Fleet Embassy shuttles a little small in size . To my toon it's like trying to stand up in a car small. Second was Mine Trap 20 man PvE never got to play in it 20 mins went and passed to a hour , ? server overload?
karcorner @ Nov 4th, 2012 8:29AM
Kind of a stupid test weekend, they do not give away marks so you can not test the system. I can not wait to see it broke when S7 hits.
happymarvin
Which marks, Romulan or Omega?
wibble202
Strange I earnd 90 romulan marks within an hour just don't have hte other materials on that character ^^

Cryptic job well done, i didn't have many problems, this is the second test i've done, and becoming a lifetime member at the sale, almost speachless, loved every bit of it, i tested the new sector space, tholian invasion and borg invading, makes sence, unorganized sector that would happen, attack that the weakest point, very well thought out, the stf, love the changes, and new content, the queen is tuff, wouldn't expect any thing less, and the voice fantastic, the comments she makes wonderful addition, to an already fantastic mission, new romulas is beautiful, the neighboring planet mission great, can't wait untill season seven comes out best yet, as far as the grinding now i think is becomming personnal, only down side it will take away from fleet contributijons, but i think is worth it, it's like a whole new game, better game Cryptic job well done, glad to be a lifetime member, keep up the good work, its heading in to a bold new frontier, thanks again, this is the first post i left, and i'm glad i did it, good job cryptic team, i'm thrilled, cant' wait until it comes out Style

So far the New Romulus has impressed me. I really love the open planet style with numerous missions and mini-missions, a great style to incorporate into the game!
stormytomy @ Nov 4th, 2012 1:33AM
first objection from me: New Romulus patchig to beam on the planet takes way too long, I hope this will be made easier in the future
brackynews
Turn off On Demand Patching in your launcher for now. But yes that cutscene and the core data should be added to the pre-launch mandatory package.
hawks3052 @ Nov 4th, 2012 1:11AM
Once again KDF gets the short end of the stick. Cryptic should stop pretending that they make Star Trek Online and rename the game to STARFLEET Online.
knightjedi83 @ Nov 4th, 2012 12:12AM
I love the New Romulus look and game play, nice exploration and fighting. This is going to be fun when season 7 launches. The creatures on the planet give a whole new meaning of strange new worlds.
phyloah1 @ Nov 3rd, 2012 9:31PM
Been an interesting test. Everytime I tried to get to new stuff it told me things like you have to be in a fleet or you have to have diplomatic immunity. But I guess Ill see most of it when its live.
fogerty1 @ Nov 3rd, 2012 6:22PM
Ok well, I just got power restored after getting pummeled by the most massive hurricane in years, and suffering with a broken leg, think you guys can give us an extra couple of days to catch up to help with Tribble?
trevrocks1 @ Nov 3rd, 2012 3:15PM

ygyhuu @ Nov 3rd, 2012 1:12PM
