The training process that began several months ago is very close to completion and we’re excited to see what our new colleagues at DECA Games have in store for STO. That said, it has not been without its speed bumps, and we’ve therefore made the decision to focus our efforts on making a truly special Anniversary episode for early next year, instead of creating a new episode to release this fall.
Just adding here that I hope the sarcasm and humor in my commentary above is well-received by this Fediverse community. Typically, I just summarize and move on with life, but I thought I’d be a bit more editorial when I read this post.
I think it’s possible to get a little salty about the state of things without turning the community (such as it is) into a wretched hive of scum and villainy - I think you’re in the clear.
It’s funny, I don’t think the current storyline has been bad, necessarily - just uninteresting. Maybe they were a year or two too late to hop on the multiversal bandwagon, even though it makes perfect sense in a Trek context.
Agreed. You sum up the more reasonable aspects of my actual “complaints” well. Uninteresting.
However, I do still play daily. Now, more recently, that’s been no more than 30 minutes, simply to do the daily checkbox and leave. There’s (currently) nothing “interesting” for me; I hope the new team and arc will introduce a change for the better. I grew weary of the new coat of paint on the old grind TFOs. Worse still, the odd movement of the game further from science and exploration.
What I want is the Foundry and puzzle-solving. What I have is a pew-pew DPS chase and there are much better (free/cheap) games out there which can do that. Still, I continue to log in daily because I want this game to explore the new direction they conclude the post with. :)
