All I'd heard was that they were making big big changes to the creator.

Well, if the icons Kori showed us are any indication, I'd say those are pretty damned big changes.

I wasn't referring to that. I was referring to the character creator and only the CC. When I heard that big changes were coming to the cc I had visions of everyone having to re-roll due to all classes being made tacs

The suspense is killing me...no, that's the pain in my knee. Nevermind. *chuckles*

Seriously, however...they're hyping us up again, this had better be worth it.

Call me cynical, but with every "hype" update, I'm thinking... "Meh". Trying not to get too excited, since I have 3+ years of experience with Cryptic and their hype-machine. Been disappointed far too many times, to get excited over much of anything that Cryptic does these days.

Teaser Page has been updated, and Dan has been doing rounds on the forums responding to story related posts and giving hints

http://sto-forum.perfectworld.com/search.php?searchid=51746041 (need to be logged in to see that, its the dev tracker)

If you remember Temporal Ambassador, Admiral T'Nae appeared to have been left on the Enterprise-C

Almost implies she might be involved.

Oh boy, they're going up against the wishes of the JJ xD

That made me smile

According to an interview with Captain Geko, more then just Romulus was originally going to be destroyed in the comic. He didn't go into details of what, but they managed to get it down to just Romulus.

Originally Romulus was going to be big part of missions and they already had work done, but they had to scrap that idea since JJ blew it up.

A shame they wouldn't just use the old "alt timeline" trick lol.
Old romulus would have been awesome imo.

German/French STO sites seems to have jumped the gun on the countdown. Gotta say, if it turns out to be legit, i'd be rather impressed.

They've taken it down now, so i'd say legit!

Romulan faction....
Oh hell

For weeks I've been trying to work out why the countdown ends at 2pm - it seems so random! - then I looked at the notice about maintenance and realised it's actually 7am in the timezone they're working!

Darkthunder · « **Reply #3876 on:** March 21, 2013, 09:04:08 AM »

Countdown completed...

Romulan Faction, CONFIRMED!!!

I saw this coming a mile away, but the fact that they're actually branding it as an "expansion" is both appropriate and somewhat inspiring of dread. I dread it primarily for two reasons: One, this may end up being a total disaster and the faction may be a broken mess, just like the KE now (though supposedly it's getting fixed - we'll see). And two...they're labelling this as an expansion pack. Usually for things that get labelled "expansion pack", they charge extra. And given the scale of the expansion, I'm wondering just how much. TOR's "expansion", Rise of the Hutt Cartel, cost only five bucks - because it's one frigging planet. STO:LoR basically adds an entire faction, new player ships, new quests (for the 1-50 Roms and the 1-25 Klingons)...

According to branflakes, it's free... Lemme dig up that post..

The fact that kdf and rommies are both going to be 1-50 factions now, isn't really filling me with hope.

EDIT

Post number #22

Darkthunder · « **Reply #3879 on:** March 21, 2013, 10:35:17 AM »

I do see a bit of silver lining in otherwise murky clouds, and that is the fact that they are calling it an "expansion". Up until now, we've had "Season" sized updates, which have been hit-or-miss. Reason for not calling this next update a "Season" was because it was deemed too large for that title.

I remain cautiously optimistic, but I gotta say I do like the look of the new UI styles:
