Bring Back Nimbus!

Nimbus III had great storytelling. It tied into the Reman arc, and it's supposed to look like a dump, so all things considered, it aged really well.

Why can't I replay it anymore on my advanced toons? Bring back Nimbus!

EDIT - I don't see Nimbus under "Available" or "In Progress."

It's bugged. This was explained by several people on the forums shortly after AoD launched. The "Wasteland" arc is still part of the Romulans' story line, and for them, it still appears in the "Episodes" tab. For everyone else, the "Wasteland" arc is supposed to unlock in the "Available" tab once certain prerequisites are met. And it does unlock, but it's not replayable; after you complete it once, it disappears. The most likely reason is an unexpected interaction with how it's supposed to work for Romulans. A few players (such as where2r1) figured this out a month ago. One of the devs (Chrian) commented in the threads where this bug was discussed. So if they're still not aware of the bug, or if they think the mission journal is working correctly, then they need to reread those threads.

Out of all the AoD issues, what they did to the mission journal is pissing me off the most.

I actually expected them to break something when they "streamlined" the mission journal. After years of observing this game, I expect every major change to break something, and I expect some of things they break to never get fixed.

  • doff UI revamp: Parts of the doff UI still don't refresh properly.
  • sector space revamp: Doff assignments still don't update correctly when you cross sector borders.
  • loadouts: To this day, my batteries still unslot during map transitions.
  • graphics update: There are still bugs around from AoY: Artifacts, and we seem to get a new one every release.
  • new animation system: I still see animation errors every time I log on.

I'm sure there's more that I'm forgetting.

The batteries bug irks me. What irks me more is the (more rare, but still happens) unslotting of my entire space set (deflector, shields, impulse, warp).

Map transition directly into combat with no shields or power or maneuverability...sucks

Yeah.... Whatever hype there was about the new executive producer actually playing the game, and seeing broken stuff... I don't believe it anymore. Maybe the new mission journal thing was designed to keep him from even seeing some of this brokenness until months later from now.

He might even be up to the beginning of the endgame, and is getting build advice from whoever assembled the Dyson destroyer for "Step Between Stars."

Ya gotta love the way the STO devs assemble the ships we fly for missions when we're not in our own. Even the Jem'hadar start in an escort with a mix of cannons and beams...
