and omg we got that black suit whooooooooo
New consoles... new costumes... I swear... it's like you want me to play more!
You waited until the last line, but this is easily one of the best fixes. Now the Exclude check will actually function!
Whats this all about?
Could you elaborate this please? Do you mean the accolades in the mission Facility 4028? or are these STF accolades?...
This made me laugh and cry at the same time
What Black suit?
They are for the STFs. They are STF accolades.
are you guys aware that the patch that made those specific torpedo damage type consoles not buff any torpedo broke them so multiple of those consoles no longer stack?
could you guys also update plasma weapons so partial generates buff their proc? flow capacitors buff tetryon's and polaron's proc, its only fair that plasma gets similar treatment.
EXCELENT. that power was a bit out of hand. correctly scaling with flow cap is good, along with power insulators correctly countering them. this is very good and im glad to see it.
thats still to often, this pasive is so annoying. especially if theres a ton of TRIBBLE on screen, its nearly impossible to reacquire the person you are shooting at. this isn't a game play Features, this is interference with the users ability to use the UI to target. nothing in game can "cure" this "debuff".
HOLY TRIBBLE FINALLY
Has the bug with being able to purchase Doffs that don't belong to your faction on the exchange been fixed?
Hallelujah!!!
it was a guess that we could get that awesome facility holo suit...
Not to get too greedy but, is there any chance that we'll be seeing similar adjustments to some of the special console and device abilities like Theta and Tachyon Drones (which seem to ignore Power Insulators) any time soon? Anti-Matter Spread is being stacked over and over and Scramble Sensors still steals Evasive Maneuvers from time to time. FAW is also back to 100% accuracy and Torpedo Spread is still healing targets.
I guess Mk XII only... *sigh*
I'm holding out hope for Mk XI until we know for sure. It looks more like what we were hoping Mk XI would look like ... especially the Honor Guard one.
Judging by what branflakes said in another thread, my guess is that the X and XI sets unlock the same pieces of the variants. So if you have XI Omega, then you'd have chest, gloves, belt, but not shoulder, neck, or helmet.
I just keep waiting for two things here. First is the 700 day vet reward fix, we are approaching if not have passed the 800 day now? It would be nice to see those completed. Also, it would be nice to see a fix to allow teams to complete the first mission of the new FE series....My suspicion is it has to do with the voteing system for dialogues.
Nope ... Just logged in and checked on Tribble at the tailor ... Not a stitch of new options for those of us with Mk XI ... you have to have Mk XII.
Consoles going up to MK XII very rare is great. It means that there is more of a trade-off when you slot in P2W consoles instead. That said, it's not a real substitute to fixing the stupidly OP consoles like Theta, Assimilators, AMS, and GPG, etc. but it is a step in the right direction. Somewhat sad to see that these consoles are only going to be available through the doff system though. Would be better if they were at least added to the general loot table, and would be even better if they were available for dilithium or through STFs.
What are you talking about? I use it all the time.
