Okay. Just making certain. Cryptic has a history of totally screwing things up in one way or another :P

Someone on the STO forum just posted on how to cheat in the Party Patrol Daily mission.

You can bet cryptic will close that exploit now.

So does Q, at the very least. The little bastard's a sneak.

The ways I know to cheat get around that lol.  They are both *very* simple to do.

It's not really a cheat but certain Q are [REDACTED] :P

Anyway, the 3 pack Klingon Dyson Destroyers have been revealed. Nothing on the Romulan or Fed ones yet.

I'm not exaggerating  the two methods are very simple.  So simple in fact, you might be kicking yourself for not thinking of them :P

Is one of them angling your camera so it clips into the box?

Shooter mode. Your cursor will identify which Giftbox is the right one.

I didn't really want to give it away, but yeah, basically, in shootermode, the box with Q in it will show an interact icon when you point the crosshairs at it.  The other really easy exploit is that the Q that run away all have healthbars, but the shellgame Q don't.

That's the second one.  The first is using shooter mode, as mentioned above.  Though you have to be close for the cross-hair to identify which box Q is in.

Maybe a bit of wishful thinking, but i'd hope one of the "great announcements" is CaptainGeko's departure from Cryptic :P

Geko is the most open dev on the team, if it wasn't for him we wouldn't have so many hints and previews for the game.

What is wrong with Geko? And don't say 'Dinosaurs" we already know that part.
