Cutting the Cord - Almost Impossible

edited October 2011 in Tribble - Bug Reports
The ally NPCs in this mission die too quickly. I was faced with a squad of Romulans on more than one occasion throughout this mission. In the final battle against Hakeev all of the Starfleet officers and Remans that beamed in were killed off leaving me to face Hakeev and a squad of Romulans. Impossible. I don't know if this bug exists on Holodeck now but it needs to be fixed asap. It was never like this.

    I am posting to confirm this issue.

    NPC support spawns (Reman) are 31 Levels below me (So LT 8 to my Captain 9). Obisek is killed at the end battle, as well as ALL of his support. Player must overcome an armada of Romulin troops, as well as the highly OP Hakeev who esentally 1-Shots your shields to nothing, followed by himself, and others in his group 1-shotting your life away.

    I don't see how a non Engineer can do this. it was only with SPAM of my devices, and Orbital strike was I able to defeat Hakeev, even then we both died at the exact same time.

    The funny thing is that I'm an Engineer and I can't even do it. I was spawning everything I have but as soon as I died and all my devices were destroyed Hakeev's health regenerated to 100%.

    I had to beam down all my devices (and I have a DOFF that sometimes spawns double turrets or drones), out of weapons range of Hakeev, and his support, and lure them my direction after I had everything setup.. it was all timing and a lot of luck that got me by!!

    Also find the medics and kill them first, otherwhise they heal Hakeev while you are respawning :( .

    I have had the same issues. Took way too much effort to take him out (possible bug: once he kills you, he doesn't return to his "waiting" location all the time... sometime he walks and stand near the respawn location... and when he does this, he doesnt see you respawn when your right next to him, until you use some ability. I had to use this + cover shield + spawns from around the corner + orbital strike + everything else I had to tak e him out. Then with Obisek, I found that part a lot easier, killed the adds, then took him out (we died at the same time).

    In any case, raise the help's levels please. New FTPs will just be frustrated...

    Funny thing about this is, i'm playing a tack. Toon and i felt that he was to easy to kill compared to holo. intact i was captain level 6 and i killed him within a few minutes if it was that... i was using mk iv weapons and gear. i think i did this mission a few days ago, the 7th of Oct.

    Rede here for all bugy I've found in Cutting the Cord:

    The Fed-Beamins dying is no bug though.
    Feds have the appropriate level, its just the remans insurrgence that is 31 level below your toon.
    Its possbile for tacs because we can use security escort, hard for others though.
    First time I reported this(by whatever means don't know anymore) I died approx 5 times on the way to Hakeev and 10 times while fighting him, before I decided to give up. (Elite difficulty) -While using Mark XI gear only...

    As far as I know this "bug" exists on Holodeck for quite some time. As soon as a Reman group beams in, chances are good they get wiped instantly, no idea why. Once I thought there might be leveling issue and the Remans are several levels to low, but I never was able to check, since when this happens they are dead before I even can push pause.

    I can confirm this bug, but with my equipment spec i can handle a squad of romulans, and as for Fighting Hakeev, Bring along a shotgun and some hypos and you should be fine
