STO Preview

Yikes. That guy sounded awfully pessimistic. The question is: Does he have good reason to be, or is he simply jaded by the surplus of MMO's the last several years? I'd hope for the latter, but I fear it might be the former.

I guess I didn't get into the beta.

Sorry Martok.

Eh, not your fault. I can still hope to make it into the open beta in January, after all.

I'd better, anyway, as there's no way I'm purchasing STO sight unseen. I've long harbored an antipathy towards making monthly payments for a title I already own; tempted by the game as I am, I won't pick it up unless I'm able to play it first and see for myself how much I enjoy it (or not, as the case may be).

I'd wait. Considering its the entirely same studio that made Champions Online I'd advice to wait and see what direction they take the game in.

I think I will give this a whirl because it sounds like a fun concept. I'm gonna name my toon Phil McCrack, and all my ships will be the USS SKID MARK I,II, IV etc

Have you checked out the official forums Martok?

There's tons of info there. Screen shots, interviews ect. The people on the forum normally seem to get stuff up even before the main website does. Don't really post there but if your looking for info it's your one stop place.

Oh, I've read and seen plenty, believe me. It's just that for me, while most of the stuff I'm reading sounds good on paper, I think I'd really need to see it in action myself before I could make a true judgment on it. When it comes to MMO's, I definitely have a "try before you buy" philosophy.

Seems like the Klingons are getting the short end of the wishbone by the Devs. I've seen a few posts on the official forums about some sort of intervew or chat that occured in which it was stated that on launch, only the Federation will have missions so to speak while the Klingons only PVP, or something like that and they will get their own content later.

When is later, who knows, but a lot of Klingon fans are upset that the Federation is getting the royal treatment and insist on why bother having two factions at launch when only one has a developed story while the other appears to be only fodder for the Federation.

Personally, I'm a Romulan fan so I don't care, though I was thinking about joining the Klingons whenever I did get the game.....that is untill the Romulans are included in a future expansion.
