Not enough people defend this game in this thread. You guys are the only ones I know who have this issue. My friends on TeamSpeak play it fine and are having fun, my fleet is doing well, and Season 8 is the best ground combat yet.
I guess that neither you or your friends check the sto forum then. There's been a fair few threads about this issue since s8 went on tribble. Yes, it was around even then, yes the devs were told about it and yes they let it go live with said issue left unresolved.
Normally, I wouldn't be too pissed about it, but with the "free lobi" thing that's been going on this last month I'm rather miffed that I've been effectively locked out.
Imo, too many defend cryptic, pwe and the game. Being a sycophant is not a good look, especially when the product is so flawed in its execution, not forgetting the rather pathetic customer support. I won't mince words here, because that's what many of those who defend cryptic are; sycophants.
I'm rather appalled that there isn't a middle ground to be honest. There's me and darkie who slam the game, cryptic and pwe, then there's those who run around singing its praises irrespective of flaws as if the sun shines out of the bugs in game. There is no centre, no balanced view.
