Go away Discovery OMG

[OgreLeg]

I left when they started implementing this trash Discovery nonsense but then they put out that awesome Dominion expansion and I jumped at the chance to throw my money at the cash shop and roll a sweet Jem'Hadar. I left for just under a month to try the new WoW expansion and then came back to see this horrible, horrible expansion. The whole game is altered to pave the way for more of it, too. No thanks. STD is garbage and I don't pay money to staff abusing, plagiarising, SJWs with terrible writing skills. Peace o/

Thanks for sharing

The world needs to know that STD is bad. When they lose money, I want them to be able to comb through the old posts and see why so they don't pretend it was any other reason :P

Wait, what? Star Trek is leftie? How?

[The Arkady]

... ever since the TOS Enterprise had a Russian on the bridge and the white captain kissed the black comms officer (who they had on the bridge, by the way)?

The far right has always rather disliked the franchise. "The Federation is Socialist" is a criticism I remember from the TNG era (yes, in a McCarthy era tone), and after that, they could get worked up over a black captain, a female captain, and gratuitous Vulcan greasing. Okay, that last one was probably a different kind of worked up.

Of course, setting details aside and looking at things in their entirety might lead to different conclusions.

For example, I can see why Ted Cruz claimed Kirk probably was Republican back in 2015, I was surprised a Republican considered rather far on the right would do so, though - Kirk would be pretty centrist. But hey, we learned from the 2016 primaries even Cruz is apparently too centrist for the raving lunacy style GOP of today. That's both sad and scary.

politics in star trek

lol

Interestingly enough, CBS/Netflix's responses in that court case have been delayed until november 6th, an extension asked by both parties.

The American legal system continues to move very slowly - I personally don't expect any judgement (if one happens at all) until after STO's anniversary missions comes out personally. Probably later than that though.

STD is ♥♥♥♥.. 99% of it just can't be called Star Trek first of all, and 2nd too much political corectness bs and all that ♥♥♥♥
STD is a Passable show only if you have no ideas what Star Trek is, and it'd be ok if it wasn't called star trek and had nothing to do with it..

STO AoD is Story wise (STD alts) very ♥♥♥♥♥♥ and crappy old tutorial copy pasted & everything But when it comes to features (the new ones and not the ton of ones they broke and are now fixing) are some of the best I've seen so far.. The changes in the Story skipping stuff & that sort of stuff is great, and The Random Queue System is THE BEST feature that cryptic tossed in to this game for quite a While and it is actually proof that they DO Listen to feedback and do implement good ideas & solutions on their Feedback section of the forum, cuz if you look it up, there is a post suggesting Random queues around the time ViL came to life and Cryptic Took that feedback and only a few months later announced it, making little changes to the post and all stated in it and they didn't screw it up, unlike some other Cryptic ideas that have every now and then been quite messed up and full of bugs.

I for one hope that they continue to keep making such changes that help the quality of life ingame and that they continue listening to good ideas for solving problems from players who play the game a lot and understand how things could be made to benifit The Player Base (most of it anyway) and the Company working to give us this game so that they can keep the game alive and well for many years to come and earn a well diserved profit.

This really was not worth losing cool missions like Hide and Seek, Stop the Signal, The Kuvah'Magh, Treasure Trading Station, Task Force Hippocrates, The Ultimate Klingon, City on the Edge of Never and Past Imperfect. Even if most sites say it's temporary at least one person on STO thinks they're never coming back with the "streamlining". This maybe the end of STO my friends. I'm not #Silly4Tilly I'm #Hurt4Kirk because where I once had hope, I now only have despair.... And unbridled rage. LIVE LONG AND SUCK IT!!!!

The only thing so far that has changed is the exchange and a few misions!

Out of curiosity in the first place why make a Disco-era character? There's no recruitment event going on and other than the new tutorial it isn't any different than what the normal Fed experience is (or AoY).

Simple curiosity or ignorance. I made one because I had no idea it was going to be the way it was. :/

I'm very, very much in the middle of the aisle if I'm anything. Also, I'm not talking about what you're talking about. I'm talking about the blatant, straight-to-your-face things the people in charge of STD have said.

- They literally stated that they were making STD the way the were to blatantly snub their noses at Trump people and whites. I didn't even vote for Trump and I don't like that. (Hell, the Klingons are supposed to represent white nationalists or some nonsense.)

- Their leadership has been rearranged because they were abusing the cast.

- One of their producers got loud about the metoo movement and triggered a kid SHE had molested to come forward and out her for her hypocrisy.

- They very possibly ripped off an indie game developer, snubbed his efforts at reaching out to them, then tried to blame one of the old writers when a law suit was filed against them.

- That old writer then pointed out the notes and meeting records he kept proving his original script was "very different" and that it had been changed due to some sort of obvious "inspiration".

STD is exactly what it sounds like. It's a group of bad people and people too weak of will not to go along with them. The idea of giving these people money to continue down this road is just sickening.

Honestly, this is one of the points where I have to agree. Granted, I think politics is a waste of time in general, but entertainers should not use the platform they've been given to try and prosletyze.

Where'd they blame one of the old writers for the Tardigrades thing?

[Agnithrax]

I can see you feel very strongly about this Skaalgrim and I apologise for trying to make you look like an idiot by intimating that it was silly to not recognize Star Trek as a strongly left leaning show. Funnily enough the things I didn't care for in Disco were where it leaned in to the right with a militant Star Fleet he he he he. Anywho, like they say: most bad ideas are held by good people so mocking your concerns was wrong of me and I'm sorry about that. I hadn't heard about the abuse going on at the show, I heard about the Kevin Spacey atrocity but that was it; I'm glad that whatever the leadership was doing was identified and rectified. Cheers bro.

Discovery is being called STD....Think about that. An STD is a disease you get from sexual contact with an infected person. Cryptic f*%^ed us and now we're suffering for it. :/
