  thanks for raping me of my saved tech (and over a million dil had i cashed in). i had all of one day to consider whether or not to cash in between test on tribble and going live. otherwise the new content is...ok. and you havent bunled up the rollout too badly yet. still, this is a HUGE disincentive to spend money with you, cryptic.

• glxtrader1

  1 day? you haven't played in 2 weeks i guess, this has been all that players have been talkin about in these 2 weeks

• romeowood

  @glxtrader1--yes, i'm a daily player, and have logged onto tribble as frequently. I was aware of the impending conversion; however it was stated in the blog that there would be time for players to decide to cash in their dil before it went live. Sunday when i was on tribble the conversion hadn't happened. Monday it had. I went to bed thinking about cashing in. Tuesday I get home from work to find it all converted. That, to me, is very near the ole' switcheroo. I'm familiar with paper

  New one season = New one thousand bugs. :(

• chairmanmeowmix @ Nov 13th, 2012 4:24PM

  I checked out all the new stuff. Some nice work. :-) But... Anyone else feeling kinda short changed? It just seems like they're adding less and less as far as Seasons are concerned. Seriously, last time I was excited about a new Season was when featured episodes were still being released.

  that pic... 1920x1080 and 1920x1200 Wallpapers PLZ!

• glxtrader1

  YES PLEASE!

• mightydan1 @ Nov 13th, 2012 4:12PM

  I read the comments on here about the slow load times, and the game was already 20% patched when I reached the bottom of the page.

• mightydan1

  ...and 50% when I sent the last comment, probably 60% by the time this one shows up.

  was liking what I was seeing until I seen the 100,000 dilithium prices for embassy projects. Logged out. Guess I'll keep taking a break from STO, thanks again for snubbing the little guy and continuing to milk and dime the large fleets. No Thanks. I'm so... arg.. *fume* thanks for sucking the fun out of the game with this greedy dilithium marketing....

• admiralhash @ Nov 13th, 2012 3:56PM

  This dilithium Nerf is horrible I feel I may Vomit. Please give some dilithium for STFs.

• r3ad2 @ Nov 13th, 2012 3:44PM

  love the new background ;)

• redricky @ Nov 13th, 2012 3:43PM

  That female is so bad I can't even wrap my head around it. Was there some out of work cover artist for romance novels that the devs owed a favor? Really, it's terribad. Is she a Vulcan or a Romulan? Because I've never seen one, but I have seen a human female or two, unlike the artist apparently. Why is she not even looking in the same direction she's pointing the phaser? Maybe it's not a phaser, it's just a flashlight. Obviously she's some kind of mutant based on the distorted mammaries and hips that couldn't birth anything, so they probably just give her a flashlight and tell her to make pew sounds herself. Seriously, this is the homepage of an international MMO in 2012, not some Del Rey cover art from 1972.

• r3ad2

  stop complaining about it or stop playing...

• xuamat

  your meds need adjusting

• neoakiraii

  It's Star Trek and in Star Trek Women are sexy, and like to show skn....hell even kirk could not be botherd with a Shirt

• bram20 @ Nov 13th, 2012 3:20PM

  at least they hired an epic voice for their trailer

• marverius @ Nov 13th, 2012 3:11PM

  Please tell me that is a Romulan and not Vulcan.

• tlamstrike

  Its really impossible to tell, while the V shaped forehead ridge that is a is a trait of Romulans is missing, it's not universal among the species. It could be a Romulan, it could be a Vulcan, it could be another species descended from Vulcans.

• syfyguy64 @ Nov 13th, 2012 3:07PM

  I live in a small town in missori. It took only about 10 min to get 50%. It's not going to take 3 hours, drama queens.

• echolocation1 @ Nov 13th, 2012 3:06PM

  I am impressed with this. It looks great :D. Well done guys.

• bobbiierkitty @ Nov 13th, 2012 2:42PM

  3 hours? You need a new internet provider. Took me 30 seconds

• thoughtblocked

  30 seconds is a lie. You would need a 365.3 Mb/s internet connection for that. You most likely had it pre patched and only needed to download a dozen or so MB.

• admiralbrad77

  30 secs, i dont think so. I have fiber optics for my internet and it took me only 5 mins total to DL the patch when i came home for lunch and my lunch is a hour long. Like thoughtblocked said unless you had it already pre patched or a really fast IP but oh well.

• glxtrader1

  Lying Troll Sob

• admiralbrad77 @ Nov 13th, 2012 2:15PM

  you haters dont know what your talking about 3 hours plus, i patched it for 5 mins and its done

• tuu1

  Lol me to 5 mins and i live in New Zealand land of the slow long internet. Mybe you shoulda allowed it to patch prior to release. Eg i ticked the box and it dl the content anlike 3 days ago and with a top up patch took 5 mins At least thats what i thought any way enjoy your lame game and grind.

• wenom4 @ Nov 13th, 2012 2:06PM

  i tested this on tribble every day ... and after that i do huge mistake i buy for one of my acc a lifetime and get monkey as a monkey already ! and now get this crap on live server they fckd. up whole game with this "s7" next season will be STF and PVP in 2D !? fck this game

• darramouss1

  Ummmm, if you played it on Tribble everyday and regret buying a lifetime I think you need to blame yourself, not the game...

• darramouss1 @ Nov 13th, 2012 2:02PM

  FANTASTIC season, Devs. Well done!!

• captinjacksparow @ Nov 13th, 2012 1:58PM

  what do u guys mean? it's not taking 3 hours to patch... been downloading for about 5 minutes and it's already at 35%

• derickkyja

  I have been downloading for an hour and I'm at 35%

• ru55110 @ Nov 13th, 2012 1:39PM

  It may be live, but probably only in the darkness of space, cos it sure aint live in my living room. downloaded 84% over superfast n 3.5 hours. wth is going on PWE??

• psycoticvulcan @ Nov 13th, 2012 1:32PM

  This is what I'm going to listen to as I start up the game: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jeFT3Fh6KFM

• psycoticvulcan @ Nov 13th, 2012 1:31PM

  A big thank you to the Cryptic/PWE staff who worked hard to get this thing off the ground, and to all the Tribble testers who helped iron out some of the kinks.

• i8adragon @ Nov 13th, 2012 1:10PM

  Seeing how it is taking a whole day to download the batch, I'm hoping STO will give my Fleet another whole day to finish the timed mission we are on. The way I see it, I could have been farming for more dil (10k) in the time it takes to download this batch.

• cirran1 @ Nov 13th, 2012 1:09PM

  Guys, this is your typical Perfect World handleing of a game. Expect the females to get even more revealing outfits. Just look at thier other titles to see what I mean. Another step in the direction of turning STO into a Asian grindfest type game....

• fyathyrio

  God I hope so

• a90211

  well, I hope Not.

• crypticarmsman

  Yes, because STAR TREK never showed females in skimpy outfits, EVER!..oh wait, I guess some folks never watched actual STAR TREK - just GRs reconedd TNG stuff where Puritans and old men ruled ;)

• glxtrader1

  Thumbs up on naked toons

• sirokk

  I think she's falling... Being Vulcan she is not showing fear... Annnnd... she just used up all her phaser power shooting down a Klingon ship (see the trail that looks like the Azure Nubula...) and the ship crashed into the mountains behind her... She might be ok, there is a 0.001% probability that the water is very deep under her... Yeah, that it.. Yeah! :P

• cjseven01 @ Nov 13th, 2012 12:57PM

  Backround looks awesome !!! the girl looks like she is about to fall on her arse in a stupidly short skirt

• allarian210 @ Nov 13th, 2012 12:56PM

  I think they should put in Romulans and Remans as playable races already, after all, they could make it so you have to reach Tier 5 reputation with New Romulus to unlock the races for player characters.

• breadandcircuses

  And pass up making money sellng it in the C-Store? A good idea, but I don't see it happening, unfortunately...

• leihngwei

  You want playable Romulans and Remans? I think the KDF players have something to say about that.

• captinjacksparow

  they need to add more content for the KDF before they add another race
