Zeba Minmatar Honourable East India Trading Company	Posted - 2010.01.12 18:24:00 - [1] Based on my time in the closed beta if you like trek style storys with mass effect like ground combat liberally sprinkled with star fleet command style space battles then this is the game for you. Its pure story driven pve except for the pvp battlegrounds were you queue up in like wow to go to an arena to fight in up to 64vs64 matches. Basically a normal mission will see you get a task from an npc which requires you to warp to the place in question then fight some space baddies. Once those are defeated you can then do the mission that might be scanning a derelict ship from the inside with your bridge crew in tow or maybe landing on a planet for some exploration. Moar fighting occurs that is like an fps in that you have to kill stuff to get to where you need to go instead of wandering around the killing fields racking up 15/15 of something then you are done. Then back to the ship where another space baddie encounter awaits. Oh and in sto when the mission is done you just com the npc who gave it to you and its done with all rewards beamed to the ship from whereever you are in space. NO MOAR TRAVEL GRIND!! \o/ In a lot of ways its a msprpg but the grouping was done very well if you want some real humans to go on an away mission with you instead of your normal bridge crew. Crap I could write pages about all the neat stuff but when I was reading about eve's winning game of the year I stumbled upon this rather good writeup that is pretty close to how I would describe the experiences I had. Part 1. http://www.mmorpg.com/gamelist.cfm/game/352/feature/3866/Preview-Part-One.html Part 2. http://www.mmorpg.com/gamelist.cfm/game/352/feature/3868 Part 3. http://www.mmorpg.com/gamelist.cfm/game/352/feature/3877 Its not going to be an eve killer by anyones standards and to be quite honest I don't see alot of eve players even trying it out. But subs to all those other riskless carebear mmos out there are going to get a massive bleed off because the pve is just that fun if still a bit buggy and underdeveloped in a few areas. I'm sure all that will get sorted by release or not too long after if the massive improvements over just the last 3 patches are any indication. To The Final Frontier!

Originally by: STO motd Login Server Issues January 12, 2010 We are aware that some players may be experiencing difficulties logging into Star Trek Online, or experiencing crashes while creating a character. We are currently working on resolving this issue, and expect the issue to be resolved shortly. Thank you, The Star Trek Online Team Sounds familier..

Zeba Minmatar Honourable East India Trading Company	Posted - 2010.01.14 23:08:00 - [3] Originally by: Drunk Driver Our group intends to have us all become Klingons. They want to fly around and "gank" Federation ships. I might be wrong, but I don't think the game works that way. Actually if you are in the pvp zones it does work that way. Your group of organized birds of prey vs the carebear noobkirk blob who simply hit the pvp queue button and rolled the dice on a competant gang. Also the grouped pve is 110% zomg completely greifable though you might have to work at it to get a proper rise out of your instance mates. I haz already got a warning.. How you ask in a 100% pve setting? Welp there are quite a few ways but the easiest so far is to simply keep pausing the instance until they start ragemisspelling words in the chat. Yes you heard it here first, you can pause any instance in sto regardless of if its just you alone or a group. Needless to say I already ran out of pve content though to be fair only two zones are open atm..

Zeba Minmatar Honourable East India Trading Company	Posted - 2010.01.16 05:03:00 - [4] Originally by: Kyden They also messed the entire Star Trek story up. The game takes place in or around Kirk's time, yet the borg are around. The borg weren't mentioned until "the next generation". Wat? You would realize the timeline is nearly 40 years after first contact with the borg if you managed to read the backstory as stuff loaded or the text blurbs of the various npc in the introductory missions. Originally by: Kyden This game won't be any competition for eve IMO No shiat sherlock.. Carebear story driven linear progression pve mmo =! Harcore sandbox make it up as you go pvp mmo. If you liked mass effect then you will probably like this game as it is pretty much a single player game in mmo trappings. I'm about as jaded a gamer as can be found and so far I have thoroughly enjoyed playing it for a few hours at a time though I will be the first to admit its primarily the liscense that is attractive and not any omg epic ground breaking game mechanics.

I don't know where you two get your information but it clearly states on the games own website that it's set in 2409; 21 years after Voyager and 140 years after TOS. Well please forgive me for not knowing my trek timelines to the exact year. Regardless if it was 21 years or 40 years after first contact with the borg the game is still set waaaay after kirk left the scene.

Zeba Minmatar Honourable East India Trading Company	Posted - 2010.01.19 03:25:00 - [6] Originally by: armas You can't polish a turd. Well its a good thing developers don't listen to the unwashed tro.. err masses as by all accounts eve was a ginormous turd when it was first released with pretty much zero content past the ability to mine in your noob ship and then lose it to someone in another noob ship that was armed and pointed instead of kitted out to mine. STO is a big ole carebear riskless pve oriented massively single player game and it will get droves of subs if the ingame chat is any indication as I quit listening to the 'opinions' of forum poasters regardless of the game loooooooong ago. tl;dr: If you like star trek and carebearing then sto is gonna make you a very happy camper which if wows subscription base is any indication it will be the next big thing in casual mmo's. Eve as usual will plug along with it jaded and hateful niche playerbase weeding out the new subs at a steady incrimental rate leaving only the strongest to resub for another month.

Zeba Minmatar Honourable East India Trading Company	Posted - 2010.01.19 03:53:00 - [7] Originally by: armas I have fond memories of Eve from June 2003, when I started. Though it was my first mmo so perhaps that clouded my judgement a little. I hope I'm wrong about STO, Star Trek deserves to be translated to a good mmo. Early 2005 for me and yes eve has clouded mine and everyones judgement due to it simply being the best there is. That however doesn't mean that because sto isnt eve that its not a good game. Saying that, after exploring all the current content in the begginer zones in sto I am fairly satisfied with the experience so far and will probably sub up later this year when its not lulz overpriced at a AAA single player game price. $50 to get entry into a carebear mmo? Nahhhhh.. Originally by: Akita T We don't hate people like you, we look at you with mostly pity and a hint of disgust balled up in a big wad of "notto disu shi'tto agen".
Zeba Minmatar Honourable East India Trading Company	Posted - 2010.01.19 10:28:00 - [8] Originally by: Midge Mo'yb anyhow id buy it for the "need a break from eve time".. Which is why I quit playing the beta(to save the content for later) and will now wait patiently for steam to offer it at 75% offish.

Zeba Minmatar Honourable East India Trading Company	Posted - 2010.01.20 22:40:00 - [9] Originally by: necronarcosis what utter crap, a space based game that, you cant move your ship freely, spiraling down or up to get to a target, If bridge commander can get it so right for the ship combat and its 5+ years old why cant they get it right. LAZY!!! Yeah I know! How dare the devs have a buggy and unoptimal set of game mechanics and movement controls on a beta release!

LAZY!!! Yeah I know! How dare the devs have a buggy and unoptimal set of game mechanics and movement controls on a beta release! try not to be a muppet! the games devs have stated that the movement controls and lack of direct up down movement is by design. Yeah and they also said that they are still looking into if it was a wise design descision.

Zeba Minmatar Honourable East India Trading Company	Posted - 2010.01.20 23:55:00 - [11] Originally by: Daphne Mezereum It was not. No argument from me about that though it really only effects the pvp side of the game and I'm completely uninterested in that part of it.

Zeba Minmatar Honourable East India Trading Company	Posted - 2010.01.26 21:26:00 - [12] Originally by: zaphodxx omg this game so rocks. yes theres still issues. irememebr when eve first came out there was plenty of issues. some took weeks or months to get ironed out. lag yeah. every onine mmo has it to various degrees. as for missions yeah i cant see doing 1million missions over the course of a year or 3,5 etc so there has to be some type of long term playing value i just subbed 2 accounts 1 forever acct 239$ and another for theyear. my bro and i have already unsubbed our 5 eve accounts just have to get out of 0.0 before we leave lol. some of the missions are driving us nuts tho. as for pvp i am sure they will hopefully tweak that as imsure that will constitute a large payer base who gets off on that kind of stuff. bout the only thing i will miss is sitting there mining. fighting is sooooo much better than eve. usually all you do do is sit there mash your missiles/guns etc,occasional rep or remote rep, jam etc. there you have all kinds of other things to do, move facing various shields towards enemy when taking damage, having multiple weaps/arcs available, etc. too bad i have to wait 3 days to play again cool story bro.. Looks like gb2wow is now dead! Long live gb2sto! Though like the other guy who canceled wow for sto I will moast likey sub up when the entry price drops for a month or so just to dabble about with some mindless trek fun.

I dare say this is the best part of STO ever. ill miss you to Does .noir. miss you?
