Also to add - I suspect the reason we're seeing more than normal amount of patches is because if DECA employees are sitting with Cryptic employees being cross trained then either Cryptic folks are fixing stuff or sending DECA employees to fix stuff, either way there's more manpower to work with for the time being.

[@chadwickmccarty4944]

I like your positive perspective on this & hope you're right.

[@axelhopfinger533]

Also DECA has stated that devs in Europe are significantly cheaper than US based ones, so they'll be able to hire more people overall for the same budget.

[@suburbantimewaster9620]

That actually makes sense.

[@johnlewis1830]

Good observation. Makes a lot of sense. They can b hazing the new employees with bug fixes for all I care, as long as it gets done. 😅

[@abrakahocus]

People tend to forget, yes currently the state of the game is... A bit messy... but you're talking about 14yr old game who's developers had to make decisions on where to hire/place staff in order to get bigger. On top of that along the way they were bought out by a larger company making the same calls. The staff got smaller, the content got less, the bugs sadly multiplied and those left had to decide what was the more pressing problem. Now there is another new company, and they seem ready, willing, and able to throw money at the problems. I know most are looking to just have the bugs fixed, which would be stellar. Myself I'm hoping for more of a renaissance of sorts. :)

[@peterhans3791]

If a Renaissance is ever coming to the game, deca coming in would be the time. But even a continuation of the same with less bugs would be something.

[@abrakahocus]

@@peterhans3791 agreed :)

[@stue2298]

The management of the game was awful, they made alot of money and didn't invest hardly any of it back into the game, they ran it on a shoe string and took the playersfor granted, also took the devs running the game for granted and burnt them out to a point where they didnt care. A 14 year old game should be polished and run amazing of today's hardware. Hopeful will will see more investment into the game with more people being employed and more content being released and old content that was removed for the game revised and released.

[@dhotnessmcawesome9747]

I think it was amusing how 2 people seemed to think that giving a company money means we should shut up and let them feed us pencil-shaving burgers and that we're whining by saying otherwise.

[@AugmentedDictatorGames]

It helps that I am giving Jesse bug explanations on Twitter.

[@Jurt-he6ss]

I would help if Jesse gave Kael bug explanations to put in the patch notes...

[@chadwickmccarty4944]

I still don't think adding a 7 year old ship as "premium" is okay but to each their own. I follow the same train of thought as you about STO bug fixing. It can be very frustrating, but I think Cryptic still trying & also I think Cryptic has/had been understaffed for the last few years. Good for you pointing out the need to call out the bad along with the good. This transitory period for STO is probably going to be a bit jagged.

[@metalcommandshow]

Lifetime subscriber and I’ve been playing the game since the beta phase, I love your videos and you and Spencer are two of the guys really doing a great job in covering the game. Many of the newer players may not understand that there have been a lot of changes between perfect world, Atari, gearbox, etc. this whole deca thing is just another change we are going through and I think it’s actually going to be a good one. I was going through old screenshots that I took over the course of the first couple of years and the game has changed so much better compared to what it was when it started Which is something most people may not remember Earth space dock look a lot different than the one that’s there now keep up the good work, bud

[@leandrocosta3709]

The ooold crafting system annoyed me so much back then. It's just light years better. I'm also hoping for the best during this current transition phase. I think we're going to come out of it smelling like roses and enjoying the game even more.

[@metalcommandshow]

@@leandrocosta3709 if you want to laugh, I still have some of the old-school schematics from back then in my inventory that I never took out or got rid of. So this is my fleet. my fleet has pretty much been around since the first year of the game, but I was looking through the fleet bank the other day and saw some of those and I remembered how much the old crafting system sucked compared to what it is now The only cool thing about the old crafting system was that you got to go to memory Alpha, which was actually a lot of fun I wish they would bring that back as far as being able to go there.

[@stephenkolostyak4087]

The original ESD is still the best ESD. The current ESD is just an excuse to justify the "cathedral sized bridge interiors"

I appreciate that

[@rubik2x2x2]

Star Trek is really great, STO is a great way to experience some of the stories, but after trying for ~100 hours, I just couldn't keep going. They miss the mark SO MUCH on what Star Trek even is. To me, Star Trek should be more about exploration, discovery, politics, science, and adventure. I don't want to repeatedly play battles with massive loss of live, massive ship loss, straight up breaking and entering and killing. None of my complaints even have to do with the obscene monetization. But that just like, my opinion, man. I'm back to FFXIV. Great stuff Stu, I only started because your content gave me the confidence to do so.

[@hohum_3001]

it's the closest we've got. If Paramount, or whomever owns it, ever pulls their finger out of their ass without putting their thumb in, there's lots of people out there like me - including wealthy ones - that are gagging for the chance to say "shut up and take my money". Here's a stupid example: I'm a captain in 23rd+ century Star Ship - am I piloting the ship and firing? - what exactly do the bridge crew do again? That is stupid on stupid. And then, like you say, if not all story arcs and TFOs were about winning combat - that would be cool: BUT I will remind you of the moral dilemmas of the Iconian and in particular the Tzatziki story lines destroying primitives that couldn't defend themselves and standing up to doing what was right in a universe that would have otherwise been over-run with giant bugs.

[@sabrewolf4129]

Current Star Trek Online is total garbage. I wish we could go back to the time or real Trek.

[@axelhopfinger533]

Star Trek as a whole is garbage now. Will take a complete change in show runners to save what's left and bring the IP back on track. Let's hope DECA will be doing just that for STO.

[@Nemoticon]

I hope so... yesterday I was fighting with the system trying to switch ships and actually have the loadouts work and it just makes you not want to play the game.

[@dgrm7559]

Problem is that DECA is a mobile game company. We all know that mobile games = micro transaction, gatcha, monetization offer popups and in general, over monetization of just about everything. lots of pay to participate stuff. Would not be surprised to see that the events all endup with tiered prizes that use some sort of token or currency and the only way to get grand prize is to pay to get the total amount of tokens or currency.

[@axelhopfinger533]

That would indeed be a worst case scenario. But on the bright side, DECA is a German company and gambling mechanics in games for real money are illegal by EU law. So changes to the lockbox system is coming soon.

[@zeke3672]

This is a tired argument when it comes to STO. The game is already a microtransaction hell, DECA can hardly make it worse. I've responded the same way in other videos but take a look at what you already need to upgrade a singular ship, let alone officers, trait slots, and other things. Events are already able to be bought out and skipped. The only difference between STO and a mobile game is STO charges you $7 for a ship upgrade instead of 99¢.

[@peterhans3791]

From your point of view, STO is a dream for them. An established PC game that is already on phone game monitization with macro transactions.

[@play030]

I will support this game momentarily as long as they pit out good products.

[@zeke3672]

​@@play030 They aren't, that's the issue. That's why so many of us veteran players are pissed. They're not doing much of anything except put out more lockboxes.

[@everwind5691]

A mature game should have minimal bugs and nothing should be released without meaningful quality control and testing. If they don't have the resources to do quality control they should invest heavily in a robust test sever and provide rewards for the game players to test for them. This is not brain surgery, and it is a good thing it isn't as most of the patients would be dead with Cryptic's quality control. Too many people give software developers a pass. Look what happened when Boeing did not do good software design and testing. They are exploiting the fanboys loyalty to the IP to provide lower quality without consequences, until at some point they reach some critical mass and it does impact the bottom line. Then they will wave a shiny in front of our faces and hope we forget all the times they burned us.

[@s1mo]

Everytime I come back after months (it's been years now) the game is in the same exact state Once a year (maybe?) we get new episodes that last not even an hour and appear to have been written by rocks The very last episodes were a bit better and the earlier ones were good too, but a point came in which you can just see laziness The most insteresting thing about the game became opening that new crazy cool ship from the movie/tv series out of a lockbox The only actual gameplay is making builds and experimenting with the crazy math and knowledge behind those who actually know their stuff about builds, etc. But that's not for everyone And still SC lacks actual gameplays or enjoyable gameloops Truth be told, in 2024 we still don't have an actual star trek game

[@deadmeat8754]

I'm surprised the game is still alive. I'm hopeful it continues to remain online. I resigned myself to Cryptic's fail devs making more bugs than they ever patched. I'll play until they finally close the doors.

[@outlawedTV88]

lets just hope thos fixes stick with the next updates and other fixes in the future and not get broken again. Kids there will be no picnic today, go to sleep, daddy gotta play STO without the bugs :)

[@HungryAndorian]

alot of bugs that affected me have been fixed thus far. I am beginning to be more optimistic for the future of sto.

[@tenalpoen]

They are trying to keep people from abandoning the game, but none of that is going to matter if they don't do something drastic. The Foundry was huge for STO's RP community and that community would have supported the game for as long as the servers remained online. Look how loyal SWG roleplayers are. They still play it. They still give money to the people hosting it. They even pay hundreds per month for regions in secondlife to recreate their favorite places in SWG.

[@UkrainianPaulie]

Fixing bugs? Ever play a Fallout game by Bethesda? 😂

[@Grazysworld]

I have a loading time 1,5 sec. So for me it's ok now....

[@Irwin109]

The game hasn't changed since Delta Rising and it's been through how many different hands now? The new Decca staff will take a year to train and who's training them on STO? The old Devs, who have made the game the mess it is. I see nothing on investing more into the game other than staff, those announced being community staff so nothing hands on with the game. The game is being kept afloat by whales and dailies (that people do to have an item to sit in their inventory/bank, don't get the point to that). Maybe I just have a lot less hope than others but I stick with my statement: The only people playing are: -Those who have invested so much that they feel obliged to keep playing. -Those naively thinking the game will become something else other than what it is -Those who think it's a good game. I'll hold my hands up if I'm wrong but the only big change I see coming to STO is when they announce it's twilight, the "roadmap" proved that, they're just doing what they've been doing and have no plans on changing that.

[@kevinmurphy65]

Spot on. And now I dont have to try to say this...could not do so any better.

@@setadoon it will randomly transwarp you to the Spire

[@Chu6um]

It will be interesting to see how things may change under the DECA umbrella. I think the biggest challenge will be to get new players interested in the game, while those 'die-hard' fans have been able to keep them afloat for a while. I think one of the issues that seems to be ongoing is that server drop matter. Especially these days when such matters would frustrate most younger potential players, they may simply seek other options for their time. Bugs will be bugs, but having an issue go unaddressed for any lengthy period of time would usually result in loss of customers. So, it will be interesting to see what the future brings to STO under new management.

I'm no console expert but I've seen videos, comments etc that advise to periodically clear your cache, it can get a bit bunged up and most of the time it works, try it and see if it sorts it out.

[@waynefoster7246]

I'm on console unfortunately because they just don't put in any effort when it comes to us, the new bug is you can't choose different options, from warp space you can't choose to enter deep space 9 or the Dyson sphere, I'm having to transwarp to ds9, getting so fed up with it

[@Mac_1701]

It's good that you took the time for this vid. Shows you to be fair and honest about your opinions on the game. Certainly the latest patches have improved the game no end. There will always be stuff still to fix, but if they keep up this current pace with fixes, I think we'll see the game in a lot better condition in the next few months. The only hope is that they will have learned from the 14th Anniversary, and not just with the bundle, but to properly test the new content in a live environment. Ensuring that they test it with everything in the game to stop all these big impacting bugs that take a month+ to resolve. Between the CEO chat and the recent fixes, I am much more positive about the way the game is going. I have been very vocal and critical of the way stuff has been done over the last 6 months but credit where it is due, they have upped their game recently and long may it continue

I appreciate your even-handed reporting. For me though, it's too late. When I couldn't even finish the Anniversary event due to crashing and needing to reinstall every other time I tried to launch the TFO, I just reached the "I'm done" moment. I'm not even angry anymore. I'm just no longer invested. You keep doing what you do. Stay safe and healthy.

[@tednugent1351]

The loadout system works for me every time. Strictly do space stuff in space, do ground stuff on the ground. PROBLEM SOLVED.

[@Slick10836]

For a game from 2010 that is asking 300 EUR for lifetime subscription, having to start the game and in the first hour or so having quest icons disappearing and leading NPC that are teleporting from map, not to mention hilarious bugs like the first time you reach the bridge, the crew is standing on the chair instead of sitting and then clipping through, is just sad. I can understand the effort and the limit of their crew, however these are just things that should be visible immediately to the QA team.

[@Ragefor3Dayz]

It's hard to justify the bugs, glitches, lack of support, and overall poor quality the game currently has when you consider the sheer greed of the Zen Store and the fact it's a 14 yr old game. That's literally plenty of time and money to work with. And now DECA is buying them, which is a mobile game company that will probably have the same mentality, and it won't be any different. Possibly worse. Fantastic.

[@XxTheREDRUM1xX]

Cmon Stu, the state of the game is people like S2H Uk is one of those who knowingly uses hacks and broken stuff vs other players then complains about others using it vs him. People like to be the first to use something broken then complain when it comes back around. The game is full of desperate people willing to do desperate things and this is what ruins the game......No honor. Alot of cornballs in this game that wouldn't last a day in the real world without getting teeth knocked in. Cant punish people on a video game can you? If you play on PC and console, you know whats coming. Why use somthing you know is broken? The game is fine, its the players and especially those who use hacks and exploits from pc straight to console.

[@mbdeyes]

Thanks. Don't disagree with anything said. I am looking forward to some mission fixes that keep us from completing arcs, recruit rewards, etc.

[@timhughes6674]

If you're having to train your own replacements, it seems like getting the new team started would be with bug fixes. It would give them a strong understanding of the basics and problem solving, as well as building up a little good will to entice players to stick around. I'll be curious to see what the difference is between the three games. STO will obviously get the most attention in terms of bug fixes, but I'll becurious to see how much Champions or Neverwinter get in terms of content, updates, fixes, etc.

[@shadowhenge7118]

I just recently started, but one thing that stands out as a new player is the power creep is super bad. As i was leveling the scaling was fine. The second i hit 65 it was like i hit a brick wall with the elite starter pack i got. It went from fun to a slog to finish any mission, even ones that I had just finished barely suddenly became 20+ respawns if i didnt rage quit. I get theres alot of older players who are kitted to the nines, but that takes time. The game instantly lost alot of appeal for me, and it feels like its intentional. No ship you get in a starter pack or through leveling is worth the pixels its made from. You pretty much have to drop a hefty chunk of change just yo catch up where the game is enjoyable again.

[@BlkBugHunter]

Actually the ships are better than your stating you just can't sit and not move in a fight and it will take time to find what works

[@peterhans3791]

I have a f2p account running just event ships and what I could scrape together with fleet modules from reputations and it holds its own fine. Build just starts to matter at 65...and the game does a horrendous job teaching you how to properly build your ship

[@thebetoz1]

I am new too, and yes, at level 65 Game gets harder but no that Bad, maybe something is wrong with your build

[@Flight--tz5nf]

As a person who runs a business. Do you aim to cheat your costumers? Out of 10 people. Do you always treat 1 (the same person) differently than the other 9 with the same concern? Or is your goal to treat all the same? Cryptic has told me they have no reason to treat any player differently. Yet their actions wholeheartedly prove to the contrary. I am always that 1 person. No matter what. Them not working at Cryptic Studios is not by choice? Their own actions lead them down this road. Karma can be a bitch.

[@stue2298]

There was definiately a moral issue before the move to Deca, things released in a awfully broken state. All these people leaving is good for the game, get better people who care about the game and their jobs. Moving on getting more fixes of the broken things and the bugs, making the game more robust and having a QA system that doesn't introduce more bugs and revive old bugs. Personally feeling a little better about the game and if they fix the lag issue i will be playing for a while longer.

There is still a lot of problems not addressed and or fixed also the fact torpedoes now have a bug where when you shot one torpedo with added mods to increase torpedo count that is fired it always shots two the tray from a load out is still not working properly for saved loadouts you still have to go to a planet's surface 3 or 4 times to get to work right. Many TFOs still need a lot of work done to theme to fix issues like not loading the next stage properly or maps not loading at all, options to further the TFO down the road like satellite upgrades not being upgraded, ships flaying a million miles an hour right past you so fast you can't shoot theme and when you do, they don't slow down. Yes, are they fixing a lot of bugs more consistently and quicker yes, but they still have a lot of bugs to fix and correct before i say they are doing a good job.

Color me jaded, but I suspect that this recent push to fix things, has less to do with an overall shift to improve prduct quality, and more a reflection of the parent companies need for cash. They are clearly trying to milk cash right now, especially with the up coming Mudd's pack, that is sure to be a huge seller. Now based on feedback I see in the comments, and videos, it seems that the 14th bundle did not sell well, at least in part do to the initial feedback on bugs, and concerns over the package being nerfed later on. So now they are making their fixes rapidly, to try and salvage that.

[@peterhans3791]

Is the Mudd's bundle trying to make up for 14th? Absolutely! But bug fixing? Bug fixes don't actually make money, and whales have been whaling with the bugs in place. But fixing the bugs is a profit motive if you are looking at longterm game health or trying to train new employees by looking through old code.

[@nunya3163]

@@peterhans3791 My thought process on the 14th, is that it was considered sp badly broken, that in their eyes, the bugs where the reason for the lower than expected sales. Assuming of course, the sales where lower than expected, that's pure assumption on my pat.

[@hohum_3001]

Having hobbies, for example eating, is a nice thing to be able to support, so the trend to hire in developing nations is very depressing. Like all of us, Cryptic staff have needed to deal with that low-level stress over the years. But having an actual timeline when you'll lose your job, AND training your replacements - that can be truly depressing. I'd like to suggest that we're all as supportive of the Cryptic crew as we can be, whilst remembering we're paying far too much for the quality and value we get and, really our loyalty has much more to do with "Star Trek" than Cryptic - it's the closest thing (that I've seen, anyway) to Star Trek.

I didn't buy the 14th anniversary pack because it was bugged and who knows what is going to shake out. I probably won't get it now until it's on sale.

I 100 agree with your last video about the state of the game, it's the one of the reasons I stopped supporting it. Time to lower the overprice prices, it feels like everything they release is broken out of the box, I wonder if they test anything other than the fact will the game load after the update.

[@LukeWatkins-y5n]

There should be some consideration for newer players. Some of those earlier episodes like the Klingon war make me feel like I'm playing in a broken holodeck.

[@Grayivan]

Thank you for the update. Hopefully things continue on the upswing.

[@cocobunitacobuni8738]

Very happy for this video, I'm keen on playing this game.

new game engine needed badly

[@axelhopfinger533]

Highly unlikely we'll get one. Though i've seen a video of someone who just ported old Gothic 1 to Unreal Engine 5 and it all works. So i guess anything is possible. What is most needed though is better netcode. Doubt the 14+ year old netcode of STO can even properly utilize the full resources of modern servers properly.

I'm hoping they moved another engine for the game

There's three bugs that I notice a lot while playing. My ship loadouts are super broken now. Like I can save one, change maps, and my loadout will be messed up. If I try to load it nothing happens. It leaves my boff stations empty. My captain keeps losing one ground trait over and over again (I suppose I should be happy it's just one trait). Map transfer error when trying to get into TFO's (happens about 50% of the time now).

[@axelhopfinger533]

Yeah, it's an aggravatingly janky affair right now.

[@Intriguing1998]

That we get all yearly event prizes makes it worth it to buy out an event or two to get it earlier.

[@peterhans3791]

All according to plan

[@kitkami]

The game needs a ton of bug fixes. I cant finish my klingon recruit because of a bug thats been there for years.

@@LuggageStardateOne of the kill a npc on a mission ones and the npc always spawns in the floor for me. I can tab target him but cant attack him. I have tried it many many times any every time he is under the map for me.

[@adamgreen154]

@kitkami you used to be able to use a mortar console or bridge officer trait to kill targets not accessible by yourself.

[@The_Zilli]

I just started playing the game and I have no idea how this game lasted 14 years with Cryptic at the helm - hopefully the new owners of this game will actually run this game properly. Like who the heck decided to eliminate the death penalty of the game ...my goodness, the stupidity... Had I not been a Trek fan I would have walked away from this game already. I mean the episodes themselves are bugged with graphical glitches where things that should appear dont. Or things not triggering then they should, etc. Lots of small things that a game of 14 years should not have at all.
