Deca has finally killed STO

[Jawsman01]

Literally.
They tortured us with all the worst, with the laziest most worthless decisions all year. The entire year a flop. Almost nothing worth the time to log in for a year now.

All they had was what was left at the bottom of the barrel from last owners. Nothing new for most of the year that had any value. Scrap without the S.

Deca, Please pull the plug and flush this depleted and unpolish-able TURD.

The only real STO hope we have left after all this fail is that someone will fill the vacuum with a NEW and actually fun/worthwhile replacement after STO bankrupts.

Let it happen. It will be a mercy on us all.
Its dead Jim. Keep it away from the Genesis planet!

I have repeatedly made my case.

Yes and that case was and still is evidently wrong.
But as I said before: Keep at it, at some point in time it will be true probably and then you truly got us. At least in your mind.

โพสต์ดั้งเดิมโดย Jawsman01:

Go make your own thread gushing over Deca instead of humiliating yourself here.

Nobody does that or needs to do that to call you on your BS in an open public forum.
YOU have no rights to keep this thread only for people agreeing with your false statements.

As has been said multiple times, you being wrong has absolutely nothing to do with anyone defending or "gushing" over Deca and I think you know that, because you cannot be that stupid.

IIf you do not have the smarts for that, that's on you precious.
You are wrong all the way.
You also lack the intelligence, good character and bravery

Again, a mirror. Go find one and take a long hard look.

Dil market still beyond broken & worthless too.
"We cannot fix the Dil market because we have had a learning curve all year. Just invest more real money for now...."
Of course most are too zombie to understand that last sentence.

And just like the seventeen times before, you're wrong and the dil exchange continues to work, albeit with a big backlog.

Want to fix the backlog and go back to the days of instant exchange? Find a dozen people and convince them to spend tens of thousands of dollars just to make your Free to Play experience better.
I'm sure there's already a line forming out of your door.

then why is there no Line in the Buy section of the Dil exchange huh? pfft Get that damn Dil exchange fix or shut that damn thing down for maintanence and shut ur damn cakehole and stop clocking up the sell section of it u cherrynut.

There's no zen in the buy section because the sell section is backlogged at the price cap. Any zen placed for sale gets instantly sold to the oldest waiting buy order.

It's not "broken", it's just wait-listed.

It's been operating that way for 85% of the last three and a half years. At some points the waiting time has been up to six weeks (not the 10-12 that Jaws claimed earlier in this thread and won't back up with facts because he's lying).

It IS still working, though. Just not instantly. I got zen out of it less than a month ago, as have other users on this forum and on my armada's discord.

You think by re-re-re-re-explaining their long issued excuses that this makes everything fixed and normal? It has not yet.
And guess what does 'work' with Deca? Think critically now. I will give you the answer to repeat forever; ready? Real world money!

The fact that we are into year 2 of the dil exchange working less and less, or more broken and more broken every day+, = Deca gets MORE real world $$.
What a coincidence.

The Dil exchange was not created to only work after 3 weeks, then 4 weeks, then 6 weeks etc.
When designed you could immediately turn into the exchange and then receive. That is how it was for well over a decade. From the beginning. Because it worked as designed. It does not now.

Today the 'backlog' increases. Their own answer is it is now up to 3+ months backlog waiting. * That does not mean the Dil exchange works.

If you are so obtuse to think this is normal and acceptable then you are of the kind that believes empty fire hydrants put out wildfires.

See the parallels and how the world really works. Under Deca's YEAR+ of ownership we have seen almost 50% L E S S new material released, And a nearly 300% increase to the mountain of never fixed bugs.

They cannot even release any post without major spelling and grammar errors. Embarrassingly unpolished and unprofessional. And getting worse every week, not better as they train into YEAR 2.
YEAR 2 people. They should be able to work the counter and salt fries by now.

And all that they released 2024, as shared by people leaving them, was the bottom of the barrel from those that left.
Deca is rapidly killing this title.
Not making it better.
Not making it fixed.
Not adding as much or more than ever.
And the Dil exchange is broke AF, like the people defending it.

following up on that - I just saw a post from someone who got zen today. (from a buy order posted December 14, but still.)

I'm not explaining ANYONE's "excuses". Not even sure who you mean by "they". I am explaining based on my own observations and data, as well as data shared to me by trusted sources. AGAIN if you have actual data that disagrees, please share it.

You also seem to think that simply explaining what is happening, is somehow my arguing that it SHOULD be this way. It's not. I'm not "defending" anything.

It's actually been like this since June 2021, excepting a six-month period in 2023 (after the anti-botting crackdown caused a major market correction) when the exchange rate dropped into the 490s.

During that entire time, the observed amount of zen being used to buy dilithium (which is player observable because of the dilex situation) has remained roughly flat - nearly every trade I've seen full data on, dividing the backlog by elapsed time has yielded zen-turnovers in the range of 200K to 350K zen per day. If they're making more money, as you suggest, it's because of people buying zen and using it for other things.

A, it's still working as designed, it just happens that design included a price cap, and B, not "well over a decade".

The backlog is not and has never been three months, or even two months. If you have data to prove me wrong, I challenge you - for the fourth time now - to produce it. The highest wait time I have seen data on from a reliable source is six weeks.

As stated before, I am not defending or explaining anything else, I'm simply calling out your lies about the dilex.

My statement is not now null because Deca admits trouble with their code?
Their excuses have yet to improve or fix the game. In over a year.

* Pretending the game is better than ever will not fix the game.
* Trying to hijack the thread to show your emotional state does no good either.
* Brown nosing Deca will not earn you Dil or credits.
* Nor makes the game any better this week again.

Perhaps you could go create your own post gushing over how much you love deca's year + list of excuses and how it makes your world complete?

Yes, go be both creative and productive and make your own 'positive' thread getting all wet over Deca. Then I will be along to post reality for you and your kind.

Your statement is indeed null. The game isn't dead. It's not even sun-setting. It's getting new content, new things are being tested, the team is actually going through the code instead of just shrugging its shoulders and saying, "There's nothing we can do." I'm not brown nosing DECA, nor am I attempting to get something from it. The simple, objective fact is that the game will get buggy before it gets better. That's how it works for old games like this.

Yep.

I've bought about 8k zen in the last 6 weeks or so.

People want it to be instant, but if it were instant the game would suffer because the number of people buying zen through the store would go down.

Common sense isn't that common unfortunately.

This whole thread is proof enough of that. If you don't like a game, don't play it. Don't do whatever the hell this OP did. Its just childish.

[MonkeKing13]

I mean the vast majority of the shutins here don't pay a red cent and never will for this game. They get masses of diabetic characters to feed their dilithium.

It's a very shameful circle and most of them are even proud of it.

You can't fix broken goods.
