Well Tribble is hosted at Cryptic on the west coast, while the live server I think is on the east coast.

I've had the occasional bout of lag, but nothing like what he had to put up with in that vid. ISPs must be awful up north :/

Michael Dorn to play Worf in Thursday's Featured episode.

I wonder if they also got him to record lines for the KDF missions he is in?

Edit:

http://sto-forum.perfectworld.com/showpost.php?p=13158601&postcount=8 "Stay tuned to find out! ;)"

I'd take that as a yes.

Jesus M christ Mr Dorn looks like a black Walter White!
If that was the "epic" thing that Bran was talking about last week, then more than a few people saw it coming. Can't help but feel a wee bit underwhelmed by it though. Guess I shouldn't get my hopes up!

EDIT

yet another devblog #13

If branflakes is their Facebook guy, then yes it was the Epic thing, because who ever controllers their facebook responded with someone saying it is epic.

Then again that word is over used.

Also who saw this coming? I diffidently didn't.

There was a few individuals on the forums who all postulated the theory that Mr Dorn coming to do VO for sto. The posts were generally in that big "epic announcement speculation thread". I forget the names, but a lot of them were making the prediction based off of the fact that worfs appearance was updated a few weeks/a month or so ago.

Well he got an updated face made for the TNG Anniversary Event, his Older appearance was updated for LOR or shortly after.

Also, I'm guessing this VO is the reason why the Featured Episode was delayed.

It is a pretty good Likeness.

Yes I remember that, but it was updated again fairly recently so that it actually looked like him lol.
Iirc, the anniversary model was only used for the hologram of him in tng s1 uniform. This new one though is actually rather good!

Plausible.

Even more news

"The "Lobi hunt" has been completely revamped, actually allowing you to get more Lobi that you could in the past -- we'll post details about this on Thursday when the replay starts."

Slight nitpick: The image above of the revamped "General Worf", still uses the TNG Season 1 baldric. Would've liked to seen him with his proper later baldric.

In regards to the VO: Awesome-sauce! More canon voiceovers can't be a bad thing. Would like to see as many of the (still alive) canon characters reprise their roles both appearance and voice-over.

Tuskin38 · « **Reply #4429 on:** October 30, 2013, 12:33:12 AM »

Maybe Worf felt like going to back to one made of Fabric?

Maybe its what Dahar Masters wear.

captain_obvious · « **Reply #4430 on:** October 30, 2013, 09:00:22 AM »

Or maybe they just wanted to do as little work as possible and so modified an asset that already exists in game?

Tuskin38 · « **Reply #4431 on:** October 30, 2013, 12:44:53 PM »

But we have Metal baldrics in game already.

But none of them are that close to worfs metal baldric iirc. Plus they had the original baldric already made up anyway so it makes more sense that they'd use that to save time.

In either case, I see it as someone at Cryptic got sloppy, or lazy. Or both. And i'll stick to that belief, until proven otherwise.

Or they didn't have the time.

Boy, if I got nitpicked as a modder as much as STO gets, I'd be, like, super-macro depressed.

Cryptics servers hate me all of a sudden, I'm only getting a download speed of 0.1MB/s. Its not my net, Steam, Youtube, Origin and Speedtest.net are all downloading at my normalish speed of 4MB/s

Had the same problem yesterday, I was lagging in game as well. I've been trying to download this patch for the last 4 hours.
