recently selling keys on ex dropped immensely - guess less & less ppl are buying them for real money. Offers use to be always over 400+ and last night first time after few years the offer amount is less than 100, no matter if anyone is selling just one or 100 keys at once! IMO this is the most sellable item in the whole game. I think the player base significantly dropped last 6 mnths. What do you think Spencer?
Tony Todd will certainly be missed; thoughts and prayers for his family. I am hopeful that when DECA eventually reaches out to the player base, they do so on platforms other than the official forums. The forums have a Mos Eisley vibe and the moderation is too draconian for me. I also don't care for the teasing of rewards and then not providing them when we complete the mission, and I didn't even care about the cat but it's the principle. Thank you for the information and take care.
The official forums are the way they are because of the bad mods, baddmoon being one of them (no pun intended). You get your post removed or discussion thread closed, if it's deemed a rule violation of the numerous unlisted rules. Honestly feels like the forum is meant for a select few and the mods. Kills all speculation, discussion or critique of the game. Just no point posting there.
Yes Ofc its pointless - I got banned for nothing, just posting a Star Trek photo! FFS no less than of late Aron Eisenberg. Just for the moderator to say to me its not related to STO. ??? Like WTF dude you dimwit :D
2:20 Hey, look - it's me!!! :) Tony Todd was amazing in everything he did but his performance, along with Avery Brooks & Cirroc Lofton, in "The Visitor" is absolutely stellar. I hope some day to be able to watch it without crying, but I haven't managed to do it yet...
AS always thanks for the information Spencer. Honestly its been a year and that IMO is sudfficient time to communicate with the player base. On Xbox how about another red alert showed up and it was already completed so free upgrade and dilithium. This just proves Deca is asleep at the wheel and its ridiculous. The Typhoon event is nice. The Nova console is glithching on xbox as well. SPencer it feels like Deca is just barely keeping the wheels on the game right now with the amount of issues I am seeing honestly. Combat badgey on xbox 150 million. No give aways like they announced it is getting very tiresome.
I'm relatively new but there seems to be a lot of errors with information (grudge) or events not working properly, and console issues. The zen store isn't clear on a lot of descriptions either. It's not filling me with confidence.
No worries, nbody is buying them, nbody is that crazy, not even whales! 🤣 Tbh much of the itmes on ex are gone insane with their high prices, also low demand is kicking due to lack of players
The dil exchange is at catastrophic levels. DECA must say something ASAP. It's at the point where it's demoralizing me. I'm playing other games now. (I never play other games lol)
LOL, same here! I play FM23 for fuk sakes :D After playing 6-8 hours per day last 4 yrs almost constantly dropped last cpl mnths to 30 min per day, just to refine DIl. My offer on Dil ex to Zen is still waiting from 25 September???!!! Crazy PAssing soon 2 mnths and for the newer ones - my condolences!
Given the photo confusion (I get liking cat pictures, but still!) maybe the new Community Manager is ducking Kael's editing tips... Klingon and Gamma Recruits both have "Do 5 Swarm TFO" unlocks, this is the best time to get those done if you have not already.
@CasualSAB I really do hope things improve. Console has been a mess these past few months, with unresolved bugs that were fixed on PC long ago (Captain Alteration Tokens), weird events (Red Alerts paying rewards up to 6 times), missing promo items, it's a bit more than concerning.
Badgey on console is really bugged. It's conflicting with kits and fails to activate when kits that have auto activate enabled. Badgey 2min timer starts but never appears. I found disabling auto activation or removing kits was the only way to make it work. It also is only usable in combat areas and not in public spaces. Not sure if it's that way on pc too.
I wouldn't believe anything BMR says on the official forums. That guy would have made even Hitler stop and think that maybe you're going a little too far..
RIP Tony Todd. His favorite roll for me was definitely during the Klingon Civil War arc in TNG. On the topic of login rewards, does anyone know if there is a place to check how many days in a calendar month one has already logged in for? I've logged into a handful, but since it's halfway through November I'd have to probably log in daily if I have any chance at all. I just want to determine if I have any chance at all to get the giveaway ship.
The STO subreddit is a weird place, there are a lot of people that will vote just about anything down. Ask a question outside of the dumb question thread and people will vote it down, ask it there and people will still vote it down because they knew the answer and you didn't. It's not the most toxic part of reddit by any means but there are sure some strange bitter people using it. That said, trying to find something on the official forums is a pain, there are so many subdivisions for every little thing that finding anything is not easy.
I only use the forums. I really really social media and I have closed all the other accounts I ever had (Facebook, Twitter and especially Discord that I hated with a passion).
same here! Since 2021 I dropped off all media except here and I am here bcz I must keep my chan runnin otherwise I wud be gone YT has become stinking pit with their censoring machinery algos and bots!
It's such a mess on console, has been for the last three years. I uninstalled it today, it's become unplayable with the amount of bugs present. Cryptic being gutted means the game is pretty much dead now anyway.
The official STO forums are a joke, have been for many, many years. An official STO Discord won't be any better. Why? It'll be the same bad moderation as the official forums. Console giveaway not starting is so on brand for Cryptic. DECA now, too, I guess.
A very nice nod to the late Tony Todd. He had a very distinctive voice and was a great actor. He was good in Star Trek and as the Fallen in Transformers 2. Good to see that there is some confirmation from the community mods re the new CM. I agree, they should be engaging now rather than waiting till Kael leaves. Hopefully they will come in, do an intro and set up channels of communications that, as long as the community does't go all toxic as they do on reddit, will be a productive means of reporting issues and ideas. Checked Xbox today to see if those costume pieces had made an appearance. Not there but I'm not interested in them anyway. It will disappointing for those that want them and feel like console is missing out again.
I doubt they’ll engage in the way we’re hoping, honestly-it seems like the game on console is starting to come off the rails a bit. By the way, did you notice another Red Alert event on console yesterday? I saw it pop up and wondered if they’re running it again or if it’s an error.
The official pages on console and pc would be imo the best place to update players. Not one company ever uses them though. Having to use multiple devices and platforms is ridiculous. And console is bad already when events passed months ago still are in the menu as well as month old promos. If it wasn't for Spencer's channel I'd never know what's going on.
@@Mr_Waffle. STO mod? Is that you? I got an automated permaban with no reason attached. No warning, no 3-day, no 7-day, nothing but an instant permaban within days of me joining. Not one fight, not one off-topic post, nothing. I was supportive of others, and friendly. I didn't post anything political or controversial. So what was the weird that got me banned? Oh right... the mod's weirdness.

Well you know what they say, your forum signature size is proportional equal to the size of your ego.
You can pretty much stop reading any thread on the official forums as soon as you see badmoon post, because nothing useful will be allowed after that.
Badmoon is a plague on our forums. Mods are the main reason our official forums died.
Baddmoon is the reason I stopped giving Cryptic money 6-7 yrs ago. 😆 Once he's gone I might buy Zen again.
Yes Ofc its pointless - I got banned for nothing, just posting a Star Trek photo! FFS no less than of late Aron Eisenberg. Just for the moderator to say to me its not related to STO. ??? Like WTF dude you dimwit :D
Tony Todd is a legend. May he rest in peace 🤍🖖 One to beam up.
General Rodek was the identity Worf gave Kurn after he was exiled from the Empire by Gowron during the brief dispute over the Khitomer Accords. DS9.
RIP Tony
As the things ive heard about the forum i think a discord would be a better place to stay connected
2:20 Hey, look - it's me!!! :)
Tony Todd was amazing in everything he did but his performance, along with Avery Brooks & Cirroc Lofton, in "The Visitor" is absolutely stellar. I hope some day to be able to watch it without crying, but I haven't managed to do it yet...
Time will tell if the silence has done more harm than Kael or vice versa. My money is still on Kael's incompetence and apathy towards STO.

Swarm space is also easy with a carrier, just park towards the end of a lane and your pets should be able to kill all the enemies
Especially with the Typhon's extra hanger perk.
Combat Badgey is like the price of whole ship on the exchange.
Because on average it takes 2 lobi ships worth of lobi to get one with the shit drop rate they gave it.
No worries, nbody is buying them, nbody is that crazy, not even whales! 🤣
Tbh much of the itmes on ex are gone insane with their high prices, also low demand is kicking due to lack of players

Thank you supreme fleet leader well done sir!
Thx for your great news videos for STO. :)
Should giveaway another variant of Grudge each year. Would be nice to get a new one each Halloween Event.
I am trying my best to be hopeful and positive about DECA, but over the last month or two, they have really been starting to scare me.
They have hired quite a few to work on the game and are still working on new content. But their decision to remain silent is certainly concerning.

@@antarfodoh lack of underpayed hands on deck :)
Why is badmoon still part of the moderator team, they've done a terrible job moderating the forums.
Badgey on console is really bugged. It's conflicting with kits and fails to activate when kits that have auto activate enabled. Badgey 2min timer starts but never appears. I found disabling auto activation or removing kits was the only way to make it work. It also is only usable in combat areas and not in public spaces. Not sure if it's that way on pc too.
Gambling streams incoming, cheap keys on the exchange soon. You can almsot feel Spencer quivering with excitment :)
Thankfully I've done my gambling for Infinity ahead of time. Already got my T6 box ready to go for the Areore and whatever else drops this year.
Thanks for the info. Will you be streaming gameplay of the new ship today?
Saturday, will be out most of today sadly.
@@CasualSAB HEy bro what u do for fun except playing STO? Do u play other games and if you do which ones? Tnx
I wouldn't believe anything BMR says on the official forums. That guy would have made even Hitler stop and think that maybe you're going a little too far..
Hope they follow thorough with the communication part, and for the TFO, for me Bug Hunt all the way, I find it very easy.

The events started this Tuesday, so you can start now and still have a few days of wiggle room if needed.
Thank you for the information, sir.

STO Reddit is a _BIT_ toxic? No, I hope nothing official ever touches that place. The mods are not mentally healthy. Avoid at all costs.
The only people I’ve seen get moderated are weirdos who start arguments and act weird. Don’t be weird and Reddit mods won’t bother you

@@VyseSolo You really wanna know the best place to update players? IN THE FLIPPIN' GAME.
At least I can USE reddit to speak my mind unlike getting banned by the nazi mods on the official forums...
