L’accès a cette beta sur le serveur future serveur F2P est publique ou uniquement pour ceux ayant acheté le jeux ?

Si je ne raconte pas des conneries, le F2P n'étant pas encore activé, car en test, il faut un compte STO.

[Elril]

Je confirme, seul les abonnés ont accès aux serveurs de test, ce n'est pas une bêta au sens strict du terme.

[Lafarge_fr]

Et bien, une chose est sûr, ils n'ont pas perdu de temps pour mettre sur les rails le F2P. A croire qu'ils l'avaient anticipés...

Enfin, qui vivra, verra. Une page se tourne, reste à savoir si la nouvelle sera aussi bien que la précédente

On va le tester leur F2P

Vous trouverez ci dessous le patchnote de Tribble, accrochez vous, c'est long, très tres long.

Duty Officer System

• The Duty Officer and Assignment system has been added to the game! This system is an optional mini-game themed around the logistics of managing the full crew complement of your ship that opens up when you reach the rank of Lieutenant Commander.
  

• 
  
  • Upon first initiating the system, characters will be granted a number of starting duty officers to staff their ship. Additional duty officers of various qualities, rarities, specializations and species may be gained by means of certain assignments as well as via purchase of random packs of duty officers on the C-Store.
  • The HUD has been updated to add a button allowing access to the duty officer system from any sector map, the interior of your ship or an ally’s, and most social maps.
  • Every character has two active rosters, one for space and one for ground. Duty officers may be slotted into both of these to grant you various conditional and passive effects.
  • Duty officers may also be sent on assignments granting a wide array of rewards including skill points, bridge officer points, energy credits, Dilithium, commodities, additional duty officers, bridge officers, items, and commendation experience.
  • Assignments require a certain amount of time to elapse ranging from five minutes to seven days. Time continues to count down even when a player is not logged into the game.
  • Commendation experience allows a character to advance independently in twelve different categories; one of these, Diplomacy, co-opts the existing Diplomacy system by allowing characters to gain DXP via the assignment system in addition to existing methods. Another, Marauding, is only available to Klingons. Each commendation category has four tiers of advancement. Advancing in a commendation category opens up new assignments and offers special rewards.
    
  
  

Stance Animation Updates:

• The following stance animations have been updated
  
  • Standard
  • Brawler
  • Stern
  • Creature
  • Gruff
  • Relaxed
  • Swagger
  • Thoughtful
  • Feminine
  • Seductive
    
• Stance animations have received new foot placements to make them blend better with existing emotes.
• Small idle poses and animations have also been added per stance to give more variety to players that are standing around.
• Females stances have also been fixed up to reduce hand/arm issues that occur w/ “crossed-arms” poses.
• Suggestion for you Klingon characters – Try out Brawler, Stern, and Gruff stances!
  

Tutorial Update

• Shooter Mode is now the default configuration for new characters, and the tutorial has been updated to teach people how to use it. Along with that, you can skip the tutorial as long as you’ve completed it at least once before.
  
  • If you’ve played the tutorial all the way through before, when starting a new character you’ll be asked if you want to skip it or not. THIS IS THE ONLY PLACE THE SKIP OPTION IS OFFERED. Should you agree to play the tutorial, you will need to play it all the way through to the end.
    
  
  

Currency Update

• The currency system has changed! There are now only three forms of major currency in the game:
  
  • Energy Credits – Use this to purchase consumables and standard (common) gear.
  • Gold-Pressed Latinum – Earn this from playing Dabo, and use it to purchase novelty items.
  • Dilithium – Earn this by completing daily missions, exploration, PVP, and special events. Purchase rare or very rare gear and new ships.
    
• All of the old medals, marks, badges, merits, and emblems will be going away. In the final release, they will be converted over to dilithium. Thus, your old currency will be useful at any level to purchase appropriate gear or ships.
• Coming soon: You will receive dilithium ore for your daily missions, and you will need to refine it into dilithium crystals to make purchases. This is an in-progress conversion.
  

Special Task Force Updates

• At Level 45 you can access Normal Versions of all existing Borg STFs.
  
  • Invasion
    
    • This is the only STF available for this initial launch. (the others will be released as the Beta continues)
      
  • The Cure
  • Khitomer Accords
    
• Each STF has been broken into two 30 minute segments, one space segment and one ground segment per STF.
• At 51 you can access Elite Versions of the existing STFs.
  
  • These versions are not available in this build
    
• Playing the STFs now requires the use of the public queues or private queues to play.
  
  • The public queue requires 5 players
  • The private queue requires 1 player
  • This also means you can join an STF from any map that allows queue access.
    
• STF Loot has been updated
  
  • There are now many new Space and ground weapons designed to help combat the Borg threat.
  • Special Vendors have been added to Earth Space Dock and Qo’Nos for collecting the new STF loot.
    
  
  

Event Calendar

• There are several new events that will be rolled out via the events calendar in your mission journal throughout the beta. They will be available at specific times throughout the day and typically offer a superior way of earning something specific, such as gear, dilithium, XP, or Energy Credits.
• The only event that will be available in this initial launch will be the “Mirror Universe” event.
  
  • This is a 5 man event that unlocks for players once they reach level 11.
    
  
  

Mission Journal

• The Mission Journal has been given an overhaul! You can still access it via the “J” key or faction logo on the lower left corner of your minimap.
  
  • Across the very top, you’ll see an alert when you have actions that can be taken with a mission (for example, a mission is complete and ready to turn in)
  • Below that, from left to right, you’ll find: EPISODES; PvE; PvP
  • Episodes
    
    • The Hail button will allow you to remotely contact the person offering the mission.
    • The More button will show you the list of upcoming episodes. You can also replay missions through this list of episodes.
      
      • You can look at each faction hub separately to see all of the missions that are coming!
        
      
      
  • PvE
    
    • Clicking the Volunteer button will open the PvE Queue. Here you can find Fleet Actions and select STFs.
      
  • PvP
    
    • Clicking the Attack button will open the PvP Queue. Here you can queue up to go head to head with other players.
      
  • Along the bottom, you’ll see a filmstrip of upcoming events for the day. Clicking an event will tell you more about it, including how to participate in it.
    
    • You can also click the Calendar button to see what’s on tap!
      
    
    
  
  

Episode Flow

• One major change for existing players is episode availability. Like a TV series, all episodes have been serialized, requiring you to play them in order.
  
  • Each episode requires a specific player level and that the previous episode on the list has been completed. Assuming you’ve played the previous episode, the next episode will be available as long as you meet the minimum level requirement.
  • Each episode has been changed to scale to your level, so you can’t out-level it.
    
    • You will be rewarded based on whatever level you are when you complete the mission.
    • Critters will also scale to player-level, rather than be locked at an episode level.
    • This means you can do events, PvE, PvP and other repeatable content as much as you like and then do episodes at your leisure without worrying whether or not they’re still level appropriate.
      
  • Skill Points and Bridge Officer Skill Point rewards from episodes have been increased for the first half of the game.
    
    • This means you’ll rank up faster and be able to get into your first new ship much sooner than was previously possible.
    • This boost does slow down as you raise in rank.
      
    
    
  
  

Lore Missions

• The Path to 2409 has been broken down into a series of 29 volumes, each with an average of 5 chapters.
  
  • Once per day, on Starfleet Academy and Qo’noS, players can get a mission to claim a datachip from that area’s library computer. Once collected, this mystery datachip will randomly become a named datachip that contains the information for one of these 140+ chapters
    
    • Using this named datachip will consume the datachip item and unlock an accolade for that specific volume/chapter. You can then read that chapter at any time by going to the Accolades tab in your Journal
    • This named datachip can also be traded or placed on the exchange
    • Collect them all to complete the entire Path to 2409!
      
    
    
• Also on Starfleet Academy and Qo’noS, once per day players can get a mission to test their knowledge of the Path to 2409.
  
  • Look on your map to find the test location, marked by a waypoint
  • This test of knowledge will tell you the specific volume and chapter that contains the answer.
    
    • You can always just guess at the correct answer, or if you’ve found that datachip before, you can read the chapter in the Accolades tab of your Journal.

• The character selection/creation screen for Foundry creation will allow you to start creating a character even if you do not have any foundry project slots, and then the character creation will fail. In a future build this will be changed so that you will not be able to begin character creation until you have Foundry project slots.

La nouvelle pièce de départ à la création d'un personnage (armurerie / stock).
La partie dans le vaisseau, est clairement bien réussit, ça le fait. On est dans l'ambiance.

[esmiol]

vais attendre quand même qu'on puisse aener nos perso dessus. pas trop trop envie de me refaire le lvling pour une beta

[FOSS]

De ce que j'ai pu voir, faut être LT commander pour accéder au DO.
Pour le tutoriel concernant la création d'un personnage, j'ai l'impression qu'à chaque nouvelle mise à jour c'est un peu plus simplifié. Mais globalement là, c'est pas trop mal. Surtout dès le départ dans le vaisseau. Faudra qu'ils rajoutent cette nouvelle pièce dans le reste des intérieurs !

[Afaifizz]

LES DUTY OFF !!!!!

Donc silver c'est l'account gratos et le gold le payant.

Question : sur POTBS tu paie une fois et tu est peinard , sur STO ca sera la même ou faudra payer chaque mois pour garder les avantages ?
Quid des gens qui ont deja eu un abo ?

[Elril]

Stephen d'Angelo a publié un second billet principalement sur le nouveau journal de mission, retrouvez le en français ici :

Quid des gens qui ont deja eu un abo ?

Tant que tu paye ton abo chaque mois ou que tu est lifer : tu est Gold
Si tu paye rien : Silver

[Afaifizz]

Super pour tout ceux qui sont abo et qui ont un ship avec slot 5 de BO , super pour ceux qui ont deja leurs banque pleine ou qui ont 3 perso level 51.

Donc en gros faut payé si ont veut conserver ses aquis , cool.
Ok on peut pas non plus demander de tout avoir gratos mais en partant du fait que j'ai payé le jeu + plusieurs mois d'abo , j'aurai bien aimer conserver mes aquis surtout les BOs , mes slots de bank et inventaire et mes token de respecs parce que je suis level 51 fed et kdf et autant je comprend pour les nouveaux joueurs autant la je comprend pas comment ils vont faire si je veut passer en silver.

Le quel de mes perso va mourir , quels items vont disparaitre , j'aurai plus le droit au navire avec 5 BO même si je les ai deja achetés ? La est la question.

Je ne sais si une annonce a déjà été faite à ce sujet, mais j'ai pu voir pour d'autres passages en F2P que certaines conditions 'spéciales' étaient accordées aux joueurs qui étaient effectivement abonnés au moment du passage en F2P. Je ne dis pas que ce sera le cas pour STO, mais si on part de l'idée : "Ce qui est acquis, l'est définitivement", ce sera peut-être le moyen de conserver un état initial d'abonné, en mode "Silver". Faut pas non plus trop en demander
L'autre solution plus logique, c'est au joueur de choisir ce qu'il souhaite désactiver via un panel

[JeuxOnLine_Account_X]

Au passage, je pense que ça devrait être une bonne question pour le prochain Ask to Cryptic, d'éclaircir ces quelques points de manière à rassurer les clients.

[Allabamma]

Perso Foss je pense pas que l'armurerie sera implantée dans l'intérieur de vaisseau, après tout on a jamais eu la salle de conférence que l'on vois dans l'une des missions rémiennes

si elle y est j'espère qu'ils vont en faire une version pour l'intérieur TOS ça serait bien sympa


j'ai hâte de tester tout ça mais j'attendrais l'arrivée du contenu sur holodeck

Oui et c'est bien dommage. La salle de conférence est disponible depuis qu'on peut faire de la diplomatie. On y accède à chaque fois qu'on fait une fausse mission de premier contact. Elle n'a jamais été rajoutée dans le reste du vaisseau...
Cette nouvelle pièce sympathique aurait fait un bonus en plus dans des intérieurs sans intérêts. Peut-être que même certains nouveaux voudrons comprendre pourquoi une fois dans le jeu, elle n'apparaît plus dans son vaisseau.
Enfin bref.
Oui, une armure type Halo, fait vachement Star Trek.

[Afaifizz]

Oh la fanboy SWTOR va troll dans ta section !

[Allabamma]

avec le pack TOS t'en a une de salle de conférence ^^, c'est vrai qu'ils auraient pu rajouter celle de la mission avec l'intérieur de base


PS: Fizz arrête de flooder (normalement j'en ai une de signature mais je la vois pas je sais pas ou ca bug :s )

[Afaifizz]

Osef de ta sign de jet d'ail !

ps: non je flood jamais.

[Dr.house]

Sympa tout ça en tout cas !

Foss , un avatar de SWOR ! tu me déçois

[Afaifizz]

Joli docteur House !

[PAFPAFBOUMBOUM]

et vous pensez que ca va etre quand la release du jeu en F2play svp, ce mois ci ?

[Elril]

Aucune idée, mais à ce que j'ai compris, ils prévoient 3 semaines de tests au bas mot donc pas avant fin octobre au plus tôt.
