Comments on: Willpower saving throw…. it’s 1. I fail http://dragonchasers.com/2010/01/12/willpower-saving-throw-its-1-i-fail/ But what will you do when you catch one!?

None of it happened in Closed Beta. So I'm chalking it up to them stress testing the servers and will hope for beefier hardware for launch! All that stuff is happening to me in Open Beta too.

I am in the open beta and from I have seen this game needs some more time in the oven. On my first away mission my human avatar was represented by a small starship that was moving along with my away team members. Finally in one battle the screen flashed and my actual human avatar shape replaced the mini starship. Characters on the ground move backwards, sideways, fire from their backs while walking away from you and other odd things. Numerous parts seem very sluggish and sometimes clicks do not register and you end up clicking a few times to do something and then all of a sudden all the clicks register at the same time causing chaos. I do think I will wait a few months and hopefully pick it up for 10-15 bucks and try it again. I am going to wait on this one.

They get a lot of mileage out of using ships and uniform designs out of the series (not to mention sounds). There's a huge nostalgia element to my enjoyment (such that it is) of the game.

I still kinda feel that way, and coming into a game after it's been established makes me feel way behind. I like being one of the originals in a game. That said, I don't like Star Trek as much as some people :P Back in the day I liked being there on launch day because there’s usually SO much wrong with the game that you could get some really nice things or explore places you weren’t supposed to.

Might as well spend that money now, you can't take it with you anyway. BTW - The friends list is shared between CO and STO, so you and Scopique are already on my list. See you in the open beta. :) Muahahahahaha. Might as well spend that money now, you can’t take it with you anyway.

Much more fun to be playing (DAoC, SWG, AO, EQ2) when they all played, rather than some time down the road when they were already drifting away. WoW was the one I resisted. And guess what I'm playing, now! I saw the STO box at Best Buy when we were looking around Christmas time, but I resisted, mostly because I don't hang with my old EQ guild friends online much any more. I love Trek, but flying / space battles just aren't my thing, so I don't think it'll lure me in, but I hope you enjoy the launch experience!
