Following the revelation yesterday that the Klingon faction is almost entirely PvP-based, Cryptic is obviously keen to shed more light on exactly what the game has in store for those who prefer the Bat'leth to the phaser.
As a result, Cryptic has released a heap of information about the race's gameplay. Klingon characters work in the same way Federation ones do, and have access to the same skills, but must level up through PvP because there is not much PvE content for Klingons right now. However, Federation players can also level up through PvP.
The long-running, free-to-play Star Trek Online has expanded once more - and this time it's the new Both Worlds season that comes to Xbox and PlayStation.
Cryptic Studios appears to be the latest Embracer-owned company to be impacted by layoffs.
Fans are getting their Janeway fix with the latest update. Perfect World Entertainment Inc., a leading publisher of online games, and Cryptic Studios announced Captain Janeway from Star Trek: Voyager will make her Star Trek Online debut in Shadow’s Advance.
Was never really a big Voyager fan I did watch it they reused a lot of the same story arcs time travel, slip stream, the borg, thrown closer to home. Best aliens I like that were introduced in the series were the Hirogen would love to see the Klingons take them on in a war.
The big issue was it was hard to have any consistency as you knew they were not going to mysteriously get home and Villains had to be infrequent as they were going through their space and would in time be out of range of their influence. There was a plan for the ship to get home via a new technology early in a mid season and then have them go to and from the Delta Quadrant and Federation as the story needed but that was nixed. I think not showing what happened when they actually set foot on Earth was a huge issue. I am hoping Picard addresses it.
There were plans to show a few episodes of what happened to the Voyager crew once they came back to the Alpha Quadrant but that fell through. Voyager was ok but it's not TNG or DS9 those two series I liked Enterprise with Scott Bakula was good I could never get into the Captain Kirk Star Trek that was before my time.
DS9 was great. I have not been able to get into Discovery. I do not like the characters or stories. I do not expect Xmas lights but the fact that it is 10 years before Kirk yet the ship is so much more advanced even before they went into time has not worked for me. Mainly dislike the characters. Prodigy lost me at the first episode but Lower Decks has grown on me and I have liked Picard.
After reading that I feel slightly better about the Klingon situation. But I never wanted to play that faction anyway. I think those that did will still be feeling slightly shafted.
I so want to play this but so don't want to have to listen to phasers all day!!!
I still maintain the majority of players that were looking forard to playing Klingon will probably not bother with the game at all now. Shame.
I think it's a bold move from Cryptic to make the Klingon's pvp-based that I didn't expect.
do they really think they can still make money out of this game?
