Haven't heard anything about the Personal Advancement System before this.  Sounds interesting.

New sector would be welcome, as would the new adventure zone.

They really have done a great job with improving this game.

Indeed!

It's a shame, but if the game released in it's current state 2 and half years ago, it would have actually been a huge success.

It just goes to show that an MMO needs more than 2 years to develop! /sigh

most mmo's are generally up to 5 years in production before any sort of release... id be shocked that startrek online was only 2 years before it was let go to the public.

2 and half years to be more precise. That's all they had. So no wonder it released in the state it released in. Horribly unfinished and lacking in every way.

WEll. I stopped playing since it went F2P but I am not hurting the STO any since I have a life time sub.  I just can't get myself to log back in after all the lies we were fed about the Klingons.  My loss I guess.

When you buy it you have to apply the code to the account right? It sounds like up until the point you apply the code you may be able to get a refund.

 

I get that information was incorrect and/or changed so I can see where people may want a refund. I can also see where Turbine could see it as the person applied the code and has been using those items that they got with the pack but now want money back but they've already gained from the special items (I have no idea what these items are so maybe not). That is a tricky spot.

So, you prepurchase the expansion and because they like to throw an extra for you to use early, you can't cancel before teh actual expansion comes out?

 

They like to claim it's a technical limitation.  They also use this excuse as to why you can't prepurchase expansions for points.

 

They are fully capable of both, but it's in their best interest to claim limitations and try to screw their customers.

 

Turbine is a seriously low class organization these days.  They are so desperate for cash and have no concerns for customer satisfaction or their reputation. 

 

Companies like Blizzard and ANet don't give their customers problems.  You can get a full refund within 30 days of receiving the full product.  No questions asked.  No hassle.  They value you as a future customer.

 

 

With GW2, if you get rid of the main game then you lose everything. If they end up doing a GW2 expansion with special in-game items that you get right away and can use to benefit yourself and then allow for a refund after you've gotten and possibly used the items then there would be more a point there.

 

I don't think most grocery stores would give you a refund on a box of cookies that you opened and ate 5 of first, but maybe they would.

 

I'm simply approaching the issue from both directions. I can see where a player would want and expect a refund and I can see where the company wouldn't see it as correct because the person could have already been benefiting off of the items and the return it all and have gotten a benefit for free. Like I said I don't know what items you get with it so if it was something as simple as a horse that could be taken away then that wouldn't be the case at all.

Sorry but I have for a fact returned things to a Grocery Store after useing more than 5 things from a pack.  Maybe it is just a South Carolina thing, but I saw people return half a watermellon after it sat in the trunk of their car in temps over 105 deg. with no questions asked.

Did you realize they made they low end graphics on purpose as they started way back when so that other of there player base could play there game??? hero is capable of some much more, I have used it and I have used many others , since thats what I do for a livingf I suggest to get you facts straight before you whine, cry , bash..

Could you please point us to a demo or something for a Hero-Based game you designed, that is so shiny and powerful as you say?

Out of curiosity I'd also love to know what other engines you have used, since you are a professional,  why you chose Hero over the others, and where I can find a portfolio of your work (or maybe I even played one or more of your games, who knows!).

Being a profane on these matters, but an enthusiast, I'd appreciate a lot if you could shed some light and elaborate on your quite surprising (to say the least) claim I quoted.

Thanks in advance for your answer.

Yes, please point us to some of the work you have done since that is what you do for a living you should be glad people want to see your stuff.

So basically, it's already in maintenance mode.

I can agree with that.

Im actually suprised they didnt include a *More Lockboxes* option for that poll.

That entire poll sums up one true answer.

The STO community wants content that fits with the Star Trek Universe, they want what fits true with that universe, not useless gimmiks and lockboxes.

How true that is, people have been bitching about how non-Star Trek this game is but they never seem to take the hint.

This really is to bad.  The Secret World is one of the most amazing games ever made.  IT NEEDS more content and more to do along w/ some serious effort devoted to the PvP aspects.  If those changes are made and content is added frequently it would be a scary good game.

I liked this game probaly more than anyother I played and I have been playing since probaly before some of you were born, but I have to agree with you on the PVP, maybe it is just my bad luck or Karma but I could never find anyone else to fight, one day it was just a Templar and myself and we both needed to kill 10 enemies, so we just took turns killing each other and at the end it was like Same time tomorrow?
