Finally given up on Star Trek Online
Since playing in open beta I’ve been 50/50 on this game but today the balance finally slipped and I’ve decided to give it the boot as there is only so many times you can do the same missions with slight cosmetic changes over and over again. If you’ve ever played a mmorpg before you’ll know that there is an unavoidable amount of repetition with quests but I’ve never played a game where it is so apparent as STO.
The main type of mission you tend to get in mmorpgs is kill x amount of mobs to gain y amount of items and then repeat in a different location with the location and it’s design being the main thing that changes. Doing the same thing over and over again can be acceptable if the location and mobs vary enough to hide the fact that you are doing the same thing but this is where STO falls down badly. (more…)
