Star Trek Online - Games - Facepunch Forum

ATTENTION! CLOSED BETA HAS STARTED! We're happy to announce that we've entered Close Beta as of today, October 22! If you've signed up, keep an eye on your email, as we'll periodically be inviting people to join in and share their feedback. Additionally, if you look to the right of the page, the "Closed Beta" application graphic will change to indicate you've been accepted, if you've in fact been accepted. (It'll read "ACCEPTED" in big, bold letters.) If you haven't signed up yet, head on over to the preview application, create an account if you haven't and sign up! [editline]11:37PM[/editline] Also, if you did go for the 6 month or lifetime sub, we are getting priority. They just have to balance the load. Cant let anyone in at once. Also the forums are bitching about how cryptic lied and that they were guaranteed first in which they are lying and just want to get in now.

I was just about to post this, but noticed that you got here first. Either way, I've updated the Beta information and added another thanks to the OP. Also, I've just noticed that something needs to be said here. The STO forums (specifically [url=http://forums.startrekonline.com/forumdisplay.php?f=24]this board[/url]) are the best place to go if you want a feature added or a change in the game. They actually have some employees that do nothing but lurk on the forums, making suggestions to the developers. I just felt that I should point that out.

I've found some nice videos of early gameplay they were showing at PAX. Space Combat: [hd]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=epIQPBC5fBA[/hd] Ground Combat Part 1: [hd]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zd7EfxVbO5o[/hd] Ground Combat Part 2: [hd]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LiABzxLfLvM[/hd]

There's a new article going over the same gameplay shown above (which is just a convention demo). At the end, it talks about some Star Trek-esque portal guardian time thing that says something about Klingons taking over the timeline. I don't think it's anything to do with the actual game, probably just a fancy way to reset the demo. [url=http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2009/10/26/hands-on-star-trek-online/]Link[/url]

[QUOTE=Smoot;18066723]Sorry but I respect the NDA :P[/QUOTE] There's an NDA? Cool.

[QUOTE=Thom12255;18083958]I got a new email and I thought this time it would work and then it says Your Registration Key: No key to be seen anywhere :([/QUOTE] Go to the website and log in and click accepted then try again? I dono I am not in the beta yet :mad:

Has anyone actually got the Beta to work yet? I'm still waiting for an e-mail.

[QUOTE=CarlBooth;18169399]Has anyone actually got the Beta to work yet? I'm still waiting for an e-mail.[/QUOTE] If they did, they wont be able to tell you

[QUOTE=jordguitar;18175442]If they did, they wont be able to tell you[/QUOTE] I'm sure "yes it works" doesn't violate the NDA.

[QUOTE=CarlBooth;18185485]I'm sure "yes it works" doesn't violate the NDA.[/QUOTE] Their legal team can be total assholes and just bring whoever breaks the nda in whatever way to court if they wanted to.

I played it at Eurogamer, the gameplay was terrible.

[QUOTE=LordLoss;18186778]I played it at Eurogamer, the gameplay was terrible.[/QUOTE] How so? Everything I've seen so far looks great, but I haven't actually played it yet.

[QUOTE=LordLoss;18186778]I played it at Eurogamer, the gameplay was terrible.[/QUOTE] I disagree, the game-play is good. [editline]02:49PM[/editline] [QUOTE=CarlBooth;18185485]"yes it works"[/QUOTE] :mmmhmm:

The graphics looks nice.

Some idiot leaked a video of the beta onto Youtube and acts like he can't get caught and banned, sadly the whole beta forum has found out his guild's forums, guild members and account on the site so goodbye to him.

Can I be a romulan and spend my time coming out of cloak to threaten people? If not, I don't wanna play.

[QUOTE=Orsenfelt;18246886]Can I be a romulan and spend my time coming out of cloak to threaten people? If not, I don't wanna play.[/QUOTE] No romulan playable characters. Not sure where they stand right now actually.

Released date announced on feb 2nd. In other news, people promised a beta test slot begin forming lawsuits.

I want my goddamn beta access, I paid for the 6 month subscription for solely that reason.

[QUOTE=Alex_DeLarge;18288146]I want my goddamn beta access, I paid for the 6 month subscription for solely that reason.[/QUOTE] I do to and I already posted on the forums that if they fuck up and dont get everyone in who were promised this who bought those subscriptions, that lawsuits can be formed for false advertisement.
