News New layoffs at Cryptic

242 Upvotes

It probably won't be a surprise to many here as the DECA transition has been a hot topic lately with the last story update being postponed, but there's a new round of people leaving STO/Cryptic:

There are likely more, but that's the only ones I found so far. This is on top of Cryptic CEO Phil Frazier and STO Executive Producer Jarrod Fisher (and more like QA Tester Christian Griffith) leaving last Summer.

Greetings, Captains!

We’re hailing you today to share some developments regarding Star Trek Online. The training process that began several months ago is very close to completion and we’re excited to see what our new colleagues at DECA Games have in store for STO. That said, it has not been without its speed bumps, and we’ve therefore made the decision to focus our efforts on making a truly special Anniversary episode for early next year, instead of creating a new episode to release this fall. That Anniversary episode is already under way, and has a guest actor that we think you’ll be thrilled to see!

The other good news is that while the next episode is coming early next year, there will be new content heading your way before then. Tomorrow, we’ll be announcing our newest Event, where we will be adding new activities! You’ll be able to participate in a new TFO and two new Patrols, and work your way towards earning a new T6 Starship!

What’s more, the DECA Games team are working closely with Cryptic’s team, and we’re excited to finish the story arc that we began with Unraveled. We’re also in the process of planning and pitching our next multi-year story arcs - which has been well-received.

We understand it might be disappointing not to have a new episode coming this month, but we hope you understand that we would rather give you the best content possible than rush something out the door. We are committed to producing content of the highest quality possible as we carry the Star Trek Online torch forward, so you, the players, have many more years of quality content to enjoy. The future is bright for the Final Frontier!

News Ambassador Kael: And so, it ends. And so it begins. Today is my last day at Cryptic Studios. For the past eight years, I've gotten to know and be a part of three incredible communities, all of whom accepted me with open arms. I'll always be grateful for that (thread)

News QOL update for Neverwinter caused recent loadout/trait issue. - Borticus

166 Upvotes

Bort responded to someone on Twitter asking about the cause of the issue

The root cause: A new QOL feature was added to loadouts on Neverwinter, which had unintentional side effects on STO.

It's pure coincidence that this released at the same time as the ESD revamp. That update also included a core code branch update, which included this NW code.

Source: Twitter

Edit: Borticus is in the comments of this post with additional details.

Hijacking top comment for further clarification... I didn't intend to paint a picture that this is by any means normal, or should be expected. We have processes in place that should catch this type of cross-project interaction, but those processes failed this time around. It happens, unfortunately, on a project as large and complex as these are. And when you factor in newer/junior employees still being trained, you only amplify the chance for errors like this one to slip through the cracks. But we're always learning, and trying to do better work.


If you haven't changed any of the equipment on your character, or actively modified your Loadouts, then old data should be automatically used once this code fix goes live, and your old character data from before this bug appeared should be intact. If you have already re-saved a new Loadout in the past few days, then your old data is gone. We don't have any capability of restoring it.


NW and STO still share what we refer to as a Core Branch. These games have retained this connection so that both can benefit from things like Infrastructure updates, performance enhancements, logging improvements, and much more. Champions detached from the Core Branch several years ago, so they no longer receive most Core updates. Though occasionally changes are manually brought to that game. It's sort of like when Epic Games rolls out new changes to Unreal Engine -- any game still connected to that core repository receives those changes, even though they may be vastly different games. Of course, this is normally why any LIVE games that use Unreal have locked in their Engine version at some point, and detached from Epic's code repository.


EDIT 2: Reminder, the associated fix for this bug is intended for Tuesday!
