Season 7 Dev Blog #24

Holiday Greetings from Q
Blessed Prixin Kot’baval!
Wait – I got that wrong, didn’t I? Your mortal holidays are so confusing. Veneration of trees and candles, sulfur baths, something involving peppermint and socks hung on a fireplace … I find it mystifying why you must wrap so much ritual into a simple celebration!
Still, I believe that it is my gift to bring joy and merriment to my favorite pets. (That would be all of you, by the way.) So out of the continuing goodness of my heart, I have used an infinitesimal amount of my omnipotent power to revamp my winter wonderland and open it up to all of your for another season!
My Winter Wonderland has snow and ice, snowmen who will … amuse you, and new prizes galore. Maybe you’ll even end up with some Frosted Boots, a new weapon or something to liven up that dreary uniform! Or perhaps a new friend – who knows? There's a lot to celebrate this season, and I even jumped ahead a few days in the timeline to see that my drones (excuse me, the dev team) have some blogs planned for next week that will give you all the details of what's to come.
Also, my father tells me that you mortals enjoy eating. The whole idea of energy conversion through oral consumption and digestion sounds a little bothersome to me, but if you like it…
So put on your party shoes and get ready to celebrate! The festivities start next Thursday, December 6th, and last until January 14th.
Hugs and kisses,
Q

Tell them EXACTLY what your problem is, and EXACTLY how it happened. They've fixed all of my problems in 7 days or less.

delvok5

bassmas314

captinjacksparow

leonardy246 @ Dec 2nd, 2012 1:56PM

o4ever

temmett
Last year it was in front of quinns office, most likely it will be there this year
natthaan @ Dec 2nd, 2012 2:27AM
A Q saying Hugs and Kisses? Anyone else getting an Evil DM Vibe?????
nazutan @ Dec 1st, 2012 7:20PM
The blog says "My Father tells me you mortals enjoy eating." The Q from TNG that Picard undoubtedly loves already knew of the way we enjoy food. Is this Q actually Q Junior from VOY?
azurianstar
Q Junior
plas01
Yes it's Q Junior.
nyiad @ Dec 1st, 2012 5:10PM
Damn prep for finals! I'll try to o this as muc has possible...but if it's like last year...there is no point to grinding for a scarf,

coby22 @ Dec 1st, 2012 2:55PM

coby22
like wat sector
matthian1701
Last year all you had to do was talk to Q at ESD and he would teleport you to the new zone. I assume that will be the same this year.
progenitor27 @ Dec 1st, 2012 7:38AM
It wouldn't be christmas in STO without Q, he brightens up the dreariest of winters :D
silvrsurfr @ Dec 1st, 2012 6:34AM
i have to agree with Q i have no idea what americans mean with sulfur baths,peppermint and socks hung on a fireplace...Cryptic this is a international game!start acting like it. Christmas is about Chirst being born,placed on the winter solstice both being bringers of light... Maybe bring some more history into the americans minds instead of a screwed up commercialized view thats focussed on spending money and eating as much as you can.. lol Happy Chirstmas!
poopbang
Yeah, he was born around June or July.
krayuskorianis
How about you not be a douchebag instead, eh? It isn't JUST Americans who practice the acts of Christmas. Also, who brought you the Silver Surfer? Stan Lee, and where's Stan Lee? America.
greendragon527
its a game not a documentary...chill

This is not the John de Lancie Q, it's his son from voyager episodes
eruantien85
Why can't we have John de Lancie? I want big Q not little q.
magicflyinlemur @ Nov 30th, 2012 9:36PM
Luckily, John DeLancie has such a distinctive voice that I can hear him saying this in my head very clearly. :)
digimatl
yeyes, exactly the same here :D
sailor12001
You're not the only one who thought that. lol
goldendharmny @ Nov 30th, 2012 9:28PM
Hope to see the return of the Star Wars Bat'leth
anubyys @ Nov 30th, 2012 6:54PM
Q needs to remember to spell check and review before posting! Well done Q! ;P
jamesrocker @ Nov 30th, 2012 6:35PM
im confused towards how Q is giving us prizes
deltas6 @ Nov 30th, 2012 6:29PM
would be nice have John de Lancie do a voice over for STO.
captainmerzan @ Nov 30th, 2012 5:02PM
OOOoooooooooooooooo check out the friday screen shot , that looks like a snow ball launcher I want one I want one !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
usscapital @ Nov 30th, 2012 4:55PM
why does it say it starts on the 8th ingame ? , looking forward to this anyways :)
poopbang @ Nov 30th, 2012 4:25PM
Where will the event be?
bughunter357
there will more than likely be and tab in the event calender section in game that you click and it will transport you to the map of the winter event just like last years
aleaic @ Nov 30th, 2012 3:40PM
They should have Lady Q be a Mrs. Claus, if a rather sassy one at that. :p
flazizlle0 @ Nov 30th, 2012 3:25PM
*Throws snowball*
cdmdrcrusher @ Nov 30th, 2012 2:59PM
Q "My Drones= Dev team" lol
nerosif @ Nov 30th, 2012 2:36PM
"Hugs and kisses, Q" I never knew Q to through out X and O's like that. I think he has been spending to much time out of the continuum with the ladies.... He must of got his wires crossed or something. But its a party so who cares right. As long as I can through a snowball at him, or a few friends.
rjcfoxtrot @ Nov 30th, 2012 2:29PM
Despite being Q Jr., I still read it John DeLancie's voice.
ncc1087
Exactly what I did as well.
hartzilla
So did I
allyoftheforce
If any one hears any other voice than his, there's something wrong with them.
captainfry420x
Is there any other?
captainfry420x @ Nov 30th, 2012 2:06PM
I can't wait!
dareau @ Nov 30th, 2012 1:59PM
a blog to tell us there will be a blog... What is the world coming to... :P
