Organizing a FA for Crystalline Entity

SystemSystem Member, NoReporting Posts: 178,019 Arc User
The next time the Entity rears its ugly head, I want to organize an attack party of 20 people.

Right now, I'm not sure when the next one happens, but as soon as someone knows, post it here.


Okay. So when we get the thing going, I will be running things based on the information found here so make sure to brush up on what you "think" you know. Way too often, people scream 'Don't use torpedoes' or 'stop shooting the shards.' Let's put an end to that.

Those that are interested, PM me with your @name. The first 19 people to message me get to take a crack at this thing, with a central leadership. Maybe we'll have some luck.


Also, feel free to ask any questions you like.

    Okay, getting a small list together. Post it up if you want to be a part of it, too!

    Can't you organize it though the PvE window in-game?

    Just arrange a time to be in the game, then all of you just join the queue for the CE. Simples!

    PS. I had a go at this over the weekend. We had the age-old problem of not shooting the small regen shards quickly enough, and never got the CE below about 28% health. It's frustrating, but I do love it!

    EDIT: Oh, you said Fleet Action. I take it that's different to the ordinary PvE queue.

    No different than anything I've seen. You can always start it from a private queue, the public queue is only open during the event.


    Count me in, either way, I missed it the last time some body did something like this.

    Been trying to complete this for weeks, always get crazy pug groups or griefers purposely TRIBBLE up the event.

    Make sure its invite only and private encounter, otherwise someone will TRIBBLE it up.

    Im in.

    I'd be interested in doing this if it comes up. Can add me to the list to invite, though I play at very strange times due to working nights.

    Okay folks, that makes nine (9) people, including myself. Spread this thread around, let's get some more people lined up. I'll also be taking a few alternates, in case one of the original 20 cannot make the first time. Everything is first come, first served. No other guarantees. If you want in, speak up.

    Aye. Still waiting. Not a full 20, yet. I'm finding it hard to believe that it's taking this long to get 19 people -_-

    I'd be interested at some point, either w/ a Tac or Sci, w/e may work better. (Sci is better equipped.)

    The small shards only exist if the large shards are destroyed. If you play with a competent team, you'll never see a small shard.

    You can count me in. I'll message you in-game later.

    I'm down. I've participated in several attempts to kill that thing, but never succeeded and only came close twice. I'd like very much to join a goal-oriented group that's bent on making the CE into some pretty gravel fragments.

    Crystalline Entity event is TONIGHT AT 10PM PACIFIC TIME!

    I'd like to use this timeslot, so people, mail me IMMEDIATELY @Avikerensky And let me know if you can or cannot make it. It's unbeatable with less than 10, so if I don't get at LEAST 13 positive responses, we'll have to wait until later.

    I know this is late for the folks on the East Coast, but let's try to do this! Remember to read over the STO Wiki link prior to engaging the Crystalline Entity.


    READ IT! I am not joking.

    It didn't happen tonight. Anyone know of a way to know beforehand? Or just when it pops up on the ingame calendar the day before?

    I saw 2 CE PUGs going on last night, I even joined in one of them but after an hour couldn't get the CE down less than 30%. I learned a hell of a lot however, like a lot of the people on there I didn't read the chat at first and only later learned that mines were a bad idea. IMO the STO wiki needs to be clearer on mines as they're only mentioned once near the end, unless you read the entire article you're likely to miss seeing that bit of info altogether.

    Next time I'll be able to play is tonight at around 22:00 GMT, I have RL commitments before then. A couple of tweaks would make the mission more tempting however- as it stands destroying crystal fragments doesn't yield any exp, meaning that unless you manage to actually kill the CE, you won't gain anything from however much time you put into it. Another thing would be to have some kind of timeout (which ends the mission when it expires) so that you're not stuck at it for hours on end. :)
