Is this still as bad as it was around launch? Klingons still stuck in the two little sectors we lovingly called the "KDF trailer park" while the Feds have the entire rest of the galaxy? PvP still dreadfully unbalanced? Does it still feel much more like an Xbox game than a true MMO?

Although I can't guarantee that my interest in what Cryptic did to one of my favorite IPs will be enough to spend much time on it, a few non-fanboy answers would be helpful.

Galaxy is open now with the exception of the respective home sectors, those are only available when you have maxed out Diplomacy/Marauding.
Most of the other things are not really that much different IMO, in some cases even worse due to the P2W consoles.

Kinda the answer I was expecting, thanks. My condolences on the lifetime sub you paid for, a few of my guildies did the same :-(

If you'll excuse me, my lightsaber is calling me...

but wait we have a gun that will make the Borg dance!!!!! that has to be worth something?


hello.... maybe.... yes?

I think it sucks considerably less.

Much, much better than at launch, still worse level of gameplay as far as storyline coherence for our faction due to set-backs and other issues.
Mainly manpower and money related versus the numbers draw for the best bang for Cryptics buck.
So in the grand scheme of things, the same in comparison. We are the desired stepchild.

The only thing that suck being a kdf these days is getting a group for defari and non stf pve.

[quote]No, I have never encountered this in a multi-factional MMO. Nor have I ever encountered a faction or Dev so intent on telling the other why it must be the way it is.
All we can really do is wait and listen to the cries of children while we strive to enjoy what we have in the hopes that it continues to get better.
Better it has gotten since release, I can not deny that.

KDf is still a half finished faction. Cryptic has done near to nothing that changes that.

I posted another thread that asked the same question, but I'll delete now that my questions have been answered.

I remember when STO was launched and was told the Klingon issues were merely temporary until a new patch, and that Klingons were meant to be a full faction. They even promised a PVP patch.

After 2 years, I'm still seeing the same complaints and still it is essentially the same game, except more crap to do levelling up. That's ridiculous.

I am SO glad I didn't get the lifetime subscription, but I still feel ripped off for buying the collector's edition. I got jacked on a decent MMO with Cryptic once before with COH/COV, but I thought that was an anomaly.

Now its F2P, its so sad, because I am such a ST fan, and I absolutely love the combat engine.
