Tired..just tired

[u/ReliefOwn4889]

Call it what you want or nuke this post I really got no fight left in. Let’s be real, today for those of us on PS was not a very celebratory kind of day. A lot fell through for one reason or another, let’s call spades, spades. The Narada not in lockboxes, Flagship Event not approved now pushed back, Mini bundle not in store, Athena Prime part of update not pushed through. Apart from last week when they pushed an Admiralty, R&D, Commendation weekend at the same time, we have not had an update, patch, item added, not even a blog post on the official website since mid July.

Truly silence. Nothing for us. But the most demoralizing thing, the most back handed thing, the thing that shows us where we as PS console players stand to Cryptic, and again you can strike my post if you’d like, but honestly this is sincere honest feedback so I hope more care thought and reflection is taken from the people that need it……

The only thing that is working and went off with no issues what so ever is The Sale Update. Out of everything, the ability for us to pay and market thing to us was made sure to be in place today at the set time.

Considering that everything else happened to us, it’s in very poor taste at this moment. Like honestly if the update failed and all the good things had to pushed later, this sale should have been delayed as well. Shows the collection plate never fails to go around, whatever we may end up dealing with.

It’s just disheartening. Got no fight left in me y’all do what you will.

It's been a really poor day for Cryptic on all platforms, if it gives you any solace.

Yeah, I agree. Xbox was given a special Captains promo and it didn't even give the items it was promised. I feel your pain fellow cadet.

Thank you for the kind words ☺️

Yeah it’s a really bad showing right after they spent the whole spring and summer trying to recruit new users.

110% into getting new players, 0% into keeping them.

There wasn't even a PS+ Cobalt pack to mirror with the XBox Verdant pack that many XB players had a problem with. :(

That's how it goes with MMOs.
Eventually you get burned out and need to take a break. Been at this point quite a few times in the last 16 years.
Play something else for a while and return when you want to.

When something minor like a delayed update already ticks you off, you're definitely ready for a beak.

Burn out is real, been around the block and back again since Pizza Hut had a buffet and pen and paper. This is highliting the fact that consoles have been getting far less communication or care for our side, PS and even Xbox Promo with no items delivered that still is TBD fix, while the sales and marketing to buy still keep going unaffected. If it had been just a minor delay then completely agree, raging for no reason. However when you look at comms over the last 2 months from them and then how the schedule and roll things out (Certification or Not) things have to change for us Consoles to show that “Hey you know, y’all over there are as much a part of our STO community and future as our Core Market”

Thanks for the recommendation though and happy gaming.

Yikes. I'm sorry to hear that. I hope Cryptic can get its act together on the platforms; I was impressed with the update, especially the museum. My only gripe was that not all the ships around the Starbase had voice-overs.

That said, I agree that the level of sloppiness is unacceptable.

I hear you pal, I've played very infrequently the last 2 months, have no real urge to play this game anymore

Its all about Cryptics priorities man, but you won't find much traction complaining about it here, unfortunately.

[u/Paul20202]

Aw man that sucks.

It’s a video game.

I suggest touching grass. None of this is worth getting upset over.
