3 Issues

1 - How is it possible that after daily maintenance, scheduled and unscheduled, and multiple patches and fixes, that autofire is still not fixed? That is one of the most annoying bugs I've ever experienced.

2 - How is it possible that the load screen times for ESD and DS9, after months and months of feedback, are still ignored? It is not my computer, and I don't care if 500 people respond to this saying they "never have an issue with waiting to zone in." Everyone in my fleets, and I'm in 3, has issues with loading into ESD and DS9, and it's been that way for months.

3 - How can it be considered in any way playable for a boss (i.e. a Tactical Cube) in any instance, normal or elite, to crit on my group's tank for over 75 to 85K? There is no vessel in this game currently that can withstand that, and it's a one shot. The most a vessel can currently withstand from 100 percent to zero with full shields would be a hit for about 65 to 70K, and that would take you to zero with full hull and shields. That is broken, and needs to be fixed. I also don't care if 500 people respond to that point saying they've never been one-shotted, because if that is the case, they're either not running elite STFs, or they are lying.

Make the threat control skill also reduce the chance to be CRITTED by a boss. If you take all 9 points, you should be crit immune - which is part of tanking.



These issues are wearing me out, and many others - especially my friends I have brought to the game since f2p.

    1: Today's maintenance, and the maintenance over the weekend, were to fix a server database issue. There was no one in the office to fix bugs. That will come later in the week.

    2: As a Dev stated, they're not being ignored. They're just having difficulty finding the culprit. The Devs have even asked on the forum if players could sequence their events which lead to the slow logging and time-outs to help the Devs find the issue.

    3: I do 50-100k Tri-C crits all the time. Why should the Borg be doing less then I am?

    Perhaps you didn't read what I was saying. No ship in the game can withstand that. In PVE content, it should be scaled to something that is playable without wipes that occur as a result of the total unbalance of the mobs to the players. PVE is about strategy, not splashing upon borg and dying like water upon a brick wall. If it were a PVP match, it is normal to get one-shotted by people. In a PVE instance like an STF, getting one-shotted is ridiculous. Giving players no way to combat the damage of the boss without simply dying and respawning is stupid.

    Last I checked a Tric has a 60 second cooldown. The Borg auto fire the Plasma torpedoes every few seconds and they hit harder than my Tric criticals do. It's also just really not fun being one shot by an invisible torpedo that I can't defend against, just being able to see it coming would be nice.

    And my point is that it would seem incredibly imbalanced if I can one-shot foes but they do not have the chance to do likewise to me.

    You cannot one-shot a borg tactical cube.

    I've never been one-shot by a Tactical cube in my cruiser either.

    Okay then the next time we're in game, I'd like you to show me your cruiser withstanding an 85K crit, so that I can report you to the devs for cheating.

    I'm talking Elite STFs and specifically the Tac cube with almost 2 million HP. That' not being one shot, regardless of how many debuffs you stack on it.

    You may want to ask the people who are not having your issue(s) with gear and ship perhaps how THEY are fairing, perhaps also NOT in your fleet?

    I asked about in my fleet those who are not getting one shot-ed and surviving aboard their ships. Once I got a respec that worked, well, no more issues.. Maco and Omega gear stand up just fine as does my Odyssey, Tac and Science ships.

    Maybe other MMO's hand it all to you, but STO is Starfleet? You WORK for it, or ask for help. I did both.

    Good luck ' out THERE!'
    :)

    Actually, I have taken all my skill points that boost hull strength and HP, as well as shield strength and HP, as well as consoles that boost defenses. Post a video of yourself taking the crits from the tactical cube in Infected Elite without getting one-shotted.

    My skills are in order, and so is my gear. I'm not asking to be handed anything except a game that doesn't one-shot fully geared and spec'd tanks.

    Likewise. My Nebula can take a beating but being hit by a 175k basic torpedo (that's the highest so far, usually it's a not much less unmanageable 90-125k) means I get to visit the respawn point. I don't even mind the one shot so much, it's the fact I can't see anything coming so can't use any DR buffs to help mitigate the damage.

    Oh, I also spent 3 weeks on Tribble testing my skill point layout to keep as much of my original ground effectiveness as I had pre S5 whilst gaining as much as possible in Space. I don't for a second believe it's perfect or would work for those who prefer to min/max there build but after around 40 respecs on Tribble I think I've got as much as I can without going overboard.

    I can sympathize the load times......never had...but i did on another MMO..was not my fault as i used this computer.

    STo maintenance.....the game has million , or more, lines of code and needs to be tested often.....there are so many things that can go wrong and most often do.. I prefer them to be proactive in maintenance.


    Tac cubes on elite have never done more then (in oneshot) 47k, I know, as many of us do, how to raise our defense properly and use the right gear when tanking elite mobs. My cruiser has 54k.

    last night we did elite and the escort tanked the tac cube.....he lasted over 20 seconds against the cube......thats damn impressive.

    Iyour anger is not withoutwarrant but i would temper it with patience.....and get better gear or wear better gear if you have it...or learn from the forums what to do to resist the so called one shot....because after you do you willl laugh to see it is so easy.
