looooooool

[TTS] <Dev> Oaks@dstahl: The updated winter event looks fun - jesse is making it awesome

[TTS] Sovek@Jesse_Heinig: Dang it, we talked about managing expectations! Now I actually have to make it awesome as promised

[TTS] <Dev> Oaks@dstahl: @karkat - not that I can remember offhand

[TTS] Eamane@Dukedom: jesse is back at work? nice :>

[TTS] <Dev> Oaks@dstahl: hahaha I love trolling Jesse - it is so much fun!

[TTS] SuperCatHater@AcidCouch: wow, you still have a job.

[TTS] <Dev> Oaks@dstahl: The winter event is SO MUCH AWESOME! You get to throw snowballs at stuff! and there's a new luge course!

[TTS] <Dev> Oaks@dstahl: Winter event will most likely be Dec 6 - Jan 6

[TTS] Hardcore Gornography Esquire@TontoKowalski: I still have my skates from last year.

[TTS] SuperCatHater@AcidCouch: look forward to the old one, looking slightly new. Creativity with copy and paste.

[TTS] <Dev> Oaks@dstahl: The Jem'Hadar ship is not part of the Winter Event though - there is a new ship

[TTS] <Dev> Oaks@dstahl: The new ship for the winter event is a secret for now

[TTS] SuperCatHater@AcidCouch: not much of a secret now is it.

[TTS] <Dev> Oaks@dstahl: the ship will be cross faction

[TTS] <Dev> Oaks@dstahl: sto needs tons more emotes

[TTS] SuperCatHater@AcidCouch: Well the hardcore players are glad to hear your focus on the game is right on target then.

[TTS] <Dev> Oaks@dstahl: pvp reputation is definitely in the cards for 2013 - probably the next one we'll do

[TTS] SuperCatHater@AcidCouch: you said that a year ago, and I think a year before that. I'll Hold my breath. we have heard pvp revamp or changes, oh, since launch

[TTS] <Dev> Oaks@dstahl: ship emotes have been prototyped - we are still debating if it breaks the immersion too much

[TTS] <Dev> Oaks@dstahl: we have emotes for ship rolls, tilts, etc - but it feels weird [TTS] Sammy@Polie: i want to do a barrel roll!

[TTS] SuperCatHater@AcidCouch: good to know your working on important things

[TTS] <Dev> Oaks@dstahl: it would be cool to have emotes tied to power - I could definitely see going in that direction

[tts] Eamane@Dukedom: oh god... please no barrelroll emote.... *imagines sol warp out*

[TTS] <Dev> Oaks@dstahl: @Eamane - exactly why we haven't put it in game

XXXX Then There is a 20min talk about emotes since its soooo important to pubiesxxx

[TTS] <Dev> Oaks@dstahl: @Montgomery - we have those emotes for our designers - I'll see if we can hook them up for players

[TTS] <Dev> Oaks@dstahl: Fleet Holodecks are there in case we can someday allow players to hook up Fleet Only Foundry missions

[TTS] SuperCatHater@AcidCouch: Did you drink the koolaid?

[TTS] <Dev> Oaks@dstahl: I've heard there are a bunch of costumes being made for Season 8 - so we'll have to wait and see what those turn out to be - I wouldn't be surprised if more hair was part of it

[TTS] SuperCatHater@AcidCouch: My issue is the sea of broken promises. Content focus? Little to none. PVP revamp, a dream. Year after year pushed to the next year. I understand resources are being pushed to different projects, but

[TTS] SuperCatHater@AcidCouch: COMEON

[TTS] <Dev> Oaks@dstahl: @sammy - we would like to see existing social zones like Risa get treatments similar to New Romulus

[TTS] SuperCatHater@AcidCouch: PVP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TTS] <Dev> Oaks@dstahl: @cap Revo - most everyone is working on S7 and S8 - there is also the winter event in Dec, the 3yr in Feb and in between there are a few ships, another lock box

[TTS] SuperCatHater@AcidCouch: Everyone? getting to PVP anytime???????????????????????

[TTS] <Dev> Oaks@dstahl: PvP duels with a Bridge Officer is kinda fun!

[TTS] SuperCatHater@AcidCouch: that sounds dumb

[TTS] <Dev> Oaks@dstahl: We are considering stalking Denise Crosby at the trek convention in San Francisco this weekend to see if she'll do some VO for STO

[TTS] <Dev> Oaks@dstahl: Denise is also the voice of Sela ya know... and we have tons of Sela work she could be doing...

[TTS] SuperCatHater@AcidCouch: you have a lot of work on pvp you could be doing.

[TTS] <Dev> Oaks@dstahl: @SuperCatHater lol :P true that

[TTS] <Dev> Oaks@dstahl: the 1000 hears of targ is BS - we really need to change that - taking mental note

[TTS] SuperCatHater@AcidCouch: While you are making mental notes, dont forget PVP

[TTS] <Dev> Oaks@dstahl: PvP is most likely the next Rep system we add btw...

[TTS] SuperCatHater@AcidCouch: a rep system?

[TTS] SuperCatHater@AcidCouch: really thats your answer?

[TTS] <Dev> Oaks@dstahl: Similar to Omega Fleet - only PvP

[TTS] <Dev> Oaks@dstahl: PvP needs gear, better maps, and two full factions - it isn't fixable overnight

[TTS] <Dev> Oaks@dstahl: PvP has never been a strong feature in STO (as I've admitted many times) and it isn't goign to be easy to fix that

[TTS] Hardcore Gornography Esquire@TontoKowalski: Seriously though, don't make me have a set of gear for pve and another I have to grind for pvp

[TTS] SuperCatHater@AcidCouch: yea if you keep loosing the people you put on it, it will never get fixed

[TTS] Hardcore Gornography Esquire@TontoKowalski: I pvp in this game all the time. The skills needed to pvp are not different from the ones you can use in pve. You just have to use them better.

[TTS] <Dev> Oaks@dstahl: Reps and Holdings will come at any time and are not tied to Seasons from this point forward

[TTS] <Dev> Oaks@dstahl: It sounded like there might be a Fleet Holding and a Rep before Season 8, but those details aren't finalized yet

[TTS] <Dev> Oaks@dstahl: Fleet Holdings like "Starbase", "Embassy"... one of the next ones was probably going to be a Dilithium Mine or something like an Outpost or Colony

[TTS] <Dev> Oaks@dstahl: Holdings are physical locations owned by the Fleet

[TTS] <Dev> Oaks@dstahl: I'm slowly falling asleep so I probably will only be on for 15 more mins

[TTS] SuperCatHater@AcidCouch: Well its late, Thanks Dstahl for ignoring the elephant in the room. I look forward to all the promises yet to be broken. Goodnight everyone.

[TTS] <Dev> Oaks@dstahl: hahahaha [TTS] <Dev> Oaks@dstahl: haters will be haters

[TTS] <Dev> Oaks@dstahl: @Tarin - I'm letting the design team handle all the dilithium balancing they are doing for S7 - so I don't have an answer for you - i trust them to keep it fair across the board
