S8 has been one major blunder after another imho. Quests that are bugged, AI behavior bugged, (as noted above) graphics bugged. Some players can't even launch the game (such as captain_obvious). If it were up to me, i'd roll back the update to pre-season 8 and put season 8 through the drawing board process anew.
For almost 4 years now, Cryptic have been very good at creating NEW bugs with every major content update (Season/Expansion). On the other hand, they haven't been as good at FIXING those bugs in a timely fashion. There are bugs that have existed ingame pretty much since beta (4 years ago), that have yet to be fixed. Probably not even on Cryptic's radar. I only still stick around in STO (from time to time) as a time-expenditure game (a way to pass the time). Frankly, there are no other games at current that interest me, that gives me the feeling that i'd be "sucked in" to playing it for a longer duration. Had I not already invested so much time on STO these past 4 years, I would've quit long ago.
