Anyone playing STO at all? I re-enabled my account to play season 2. There is definitely allot more to do now at the higher levels and most of the quest/mission bugs that were irritating to start have been fixed. I am having fun again with this game. It's worth a try again if you haven't played it yet or have left because of lack of content in the past.
Yeah now that my basement reno is done and the computer is back down there I'm going to log in again. I played WoW for the first time in three months last night!
Let the horn blowing continue!
Hmm, might have to give it another whirl sometime soon.

I didn't recall you playing originally Rico. What were your impressions?
It's a pity I've retired from MMOs for the time being, if it's really that big a turn around, STO would be on my possible list for retrying. Ah well....

OK now the game is putting me to sleep again. Except for the main story line missions, it's pretty boring. Arggg. I so want to like this game to....
Hehe, this post filled me with hope to start with, then went down from there
I would guess the game is still basically the same it was at launch, been meaning to give it another try just waiting for it to improve a bit. Suppose there is only so many ways you can circle an enemy and fire weapons. I hope they have done something with the ground combat as that was really clunky.
Extra content is all good, but if its just the same type of content then it will get boring again.
Would love more opinions though
Welcome Lanari. I tried ST: Online for a little while too. A bit too much space mission stuff for my tastes, but I still say every fan who loves to game should give it a try. Pretty inexpensive now too.
Ok, just capped my guy.
Lanari, not much has changed. They are trying to put in more content like special missions and stuff but I think it's just going to take time. The game feels like the released it a little early not thinking people would level as fast as they did.
I personal like the CP store but others do not like to pay for things.
Ha, they should know by now that as fast as they predict players will level to the cap, they need to multiply that by a factor of ten and maybe they'd be close.
I still want to try this game. I still need a new computer though, which aint happening anytime soon. I am going to really feel it when Catyclysm comes out.
This summer has been so insane I haven't had time to log in at all. Hopefully after this weekend I'll be able to!
Honestly I seem to be having more fun now that I capped my guy. I can go back and take my time on the missions I missed and just enjoy them.
Do the replayed missions scale to your level?
No, i am breezing through them solo :)
OK the Fleet missions on this game are very hard. They are cool but very hard. They are also bugged like crazy.
The C-Store is very cool but people complain about the exchange rate. I like the fact that I can pay real money for in game things but others feel that people that are willing to spend real cash get the advantage.
They are also doing weekly/bi-weekly episodes which are really cool. They are VERY well balanced and are great stories. This could be a huge thing for a game like this.
All and all I am having fun but still lacks a true end game if you are not in favor of PVP which I am not. The other thing is that this game would be a ton more fun if I was in a good Star Trek fan fleet. I have yet to find one but I think that's just bad luck.

hmm, should not have mentioned there was a store in this game. That's pretty much killed interest in this game for a long while. I tend to PVP quite a bit so the fact that people can get the advantage via $$, is just not my thing. I'm not rich enough.

They try to balance it out but some people complain still.

This is what keeps my interest peaked, i never gave the game the chance to get to max level. I just need the time commitment to resubscribe and hammer those levels
I maxed out before the season 2 update went into affect. Not sure what happened but having to wait for so long for the update to finally come killed my interest in playing more. Now I'm going to look and see how DC Universe online looks after it releases.
Anyone playing much STO lately? I'm getting tempted to jump back in. I have a question regarding the bridges and uniforms that you can buy in the store online. Do you have to reach a certain rank in the game to use those items? Or can you use them right after you buy them? How has season two been??
Been awhile for me, between WoW, a few 360 games and life I haven't had a chance. Interested in hearing what's up.
Just installed demo to check whether my antiquated pc would play it. It does nicely, jonno8339 is my tag. Just going through tutorial atm
Listen for Zachary Quinto's voice in the intro!
I stopped playing STO last month. Season 2 was average at best. The story is OK but its the same old thing over and over again. Ground combat is sooo lacking its not even funny. The other real downside was that some of the high level missions took us almost 3 hours to complete.
All uniforms you can wear no matter what rank. Only ships have restrictions. Some ships are more powerfull then what you can get for free in game. People complain about this all the time.
I am a Star Trek fan just like everyone here, but that only goes so far. SWG was a much better game when compared to this. This game had so much to build on with all the Star Trek histoy. It just fails....and not to mention a TON of bugs.
Sorry if this is not what you wanted to hear but I am just being honest. I would like to hear others opinions!
I only played a short time, but one of my biggest issues was the space mission vs. "quest" or story/ground mission stuff. There was a much greater percentage of space combat stuff than I felt they should have. Trek has never really been about space battles. And that certainly isn't the way to go for an MMO. I still want to give the game another go, just to experience some of the "trek missions" they have added in. Anyway, I have also heard the game might offer a free version soon. Maybe that will encourage some others to try it too.
There are more ground missions with Season 2 but the problem with that is that is exposes the weakness of the game :(
I have recently gotten into the MMO DCUO online with its Beta testing. This is an incredibly fun and addictive game. It may not be Trek, but the ability to fly and battle super heroes and villains is amazing. the maps are fairly large, and the controls end up being pretty intuitive :-). Just an idea for those looking for a change.

I would love to hear more information as you go along on with the beta! Screen shots would be awesome also!

If you want to post any screenshots or discuss the DC Universe online game more, I would suggest you start a new thread.
Will do Rico, sorry if I broke any posting rules by discussing it here. I will start a new thread as soon as I have some screen shots to share with you guys.

No problem in mentioning it, but a new thread would be great to discuss it more fully. I know folks are interested to hear more about the game and see some pics.
