So... If I read this right...

Please, please tell me I am NOT reading this right, because it sounds so ridiculous to even suggest:
http://www.stowiki.org/Reputation_System
People will be running around with 30-60 extra passive starship weapons training skill, 3-6% extra critical chance, free bites at a reverse KHG placate procc, chance rolls to recieve massive moar shield heal upon critical hit, a passive extra 1000 shield per 6 second tic and a passive bfi doff proc for hull.
'Romulan plasma weapons' phaser plasma hybrid that aren't resisted by borg shields anyone?
That's just space, I'm not even going to start thinking about how ground pvp has been bolloxed here, because it beggars belief.
Thank bleepers I barely play this pos anymore.

My best guess is you'll see from a more tactical set up the following choices, because you do have to choose either/or..
Romulan:
Probobly Increase Crit hit, but maybe Increase weapon Training by 30. Depending on build.
20% Insta heal to shields when you are crit. Because we know the 5% when you crit to Placate won't last more then 1 second or the next volley of damage, which ever is first.
Science Buff Clicky.
Omega:
Maybe the Increase Weapon Training by 30. Depends on if it's better then the Passive Regeneration buff. I'm expecting it to be from the info given.
More then likely Increased shield Regen, as once again, Placate kinda sucks. And it's the same placate as the Romulan one.
Making it probobly:
+30 Weapon training, +3% Crit hit, 20% Chance to get Shield heals when you get hit with a Crit, Increased Shield Regeneration, and once every 10 Minutes +100 all science skills.
Although I could see Faw Boat healers running the Placate ability for a 5%x2 Placate perhaps. But that's a guess more then a sure thing. As I could see that being a nice have, especially with the +3% Crit hit ability.
Think about this:
American Football has been in open beta for 144 years. ~Kotaku
Ideally these would just be disabled in PvP. Otherwise, if it's a significant grind this will probably drive me completely away from STO and into the arms of MWO.
im really starting to lose hope now, about everything. grind to power creep win, with no possibly way of balancing it. the extremes will get more extreme, and the baseline will be even more harmless.
WRONGWRONGWRONG :mad::mad::mad:
I mean the borg set change, and the look at tac team and bfi that bort has mentioned they plan to do... A good way to reverse some of the creep dmg that has seeped in after 3 years... (yes I said dmg and I know those are heal nerfs, don't make me explain that again. lol)
Then they go and say hey lets give you another +crit chance console... and hey lets give you another +3% crit chance passive.
Really if I am still around to grind it out... my main tac with my loved Crthx3 weapons will end up with close to a 20% crit chance... I am going to take people out with one volley if they aren't supper buffed.
+3% crit chance is a HUGE number... you think they would be catching on that all these +0.5% add up... I mean even at 0.5% chance on subnuke doffs people still complain...
This one change on my tac already employing a high crit chance system... this is going to boost me a good 1000 dps easy.
the result is higher pressure sure, but its spike, the difference between max and baseline, that is the most out of control. same with healing too. game is to spiky. unbuffed weapons fire does almost nothing, this adds to the problem.
im completely in love with movement control and critD 3 weapons, suddenly they just die from 7 to 10k crits. the critD were like 4 mkXI for less then 600k, had to snag those. i imagine crits more often would be better though, need to check the exchange again. also, antiproton, the old mk X mark store that are critD2, critH, another character gets great use out of those.
acc is kinda pointless imo, your not trying to control the movement of your target? or having a team mate do it for you? whats up with that lol
As with all these things I must wait and see.
I agree the shield heal will probably be the best one, but that placate one is gonna be more annoying than you may think. First off, AOE trigger of the ability should last the full 6 secs. with as little damage as faw is doing right now, an engy cruiser running faw could stay placated quite a bit. With csv being a much needed ability right now to deal with trash, scorts and cannon cruisers will be placated to anyone in the splash damage quite a bit as well. How about an escort under fire using it along with a khg shields placate chance. If he's firing at someone firing back, between his crits, and the shields placate chance, he'll look like a blinking light blinking in and out. It will be pretty tough to keep him locked on.
I'm going to guess that there will be a way to respec those choices - however, they are looking to increase the chance that somebody does something wrong and needs to "buy" that respec. They're increasing the amount of per toon items - the amount of investment in those per toon items either in grinding or in cold hard cash - thus, attempting to increase the chance that if somebody screws something up - they will be more likely to "buy" that respec.
Increase the per toon investment? Check.
Increase the per toon chance to TRIBBLE up? Check.
Increase the likelihood of a player buying a respec? Check.
Heck, into that - add additional grinds requiring Dil as well as reduced Dil earnings - and it further increases the chances that a person will outright buy the Zen for a respec than they will attempt to grind it out...
Please someone tell me this dumb TRIBBLE system doesn't activate in pvp.
Please?
Stop it cryptic, you can't even fix what you have. Just stop.
Thats not to say it won't be a balance nightmare. But change usually is.
Doffs have made game balance worse.
Honestly I've become convinced the Doff system was why they put in these hilariously effective, and hilarious inneffective sci resists into the skill tree, as well as why some abilities are effectively 1/2 what they used to be.
Grav well and Tykens anyone?
CPB.. look how many doffs have come out for that one ability already to make it "good" again (and it still blows like a thai hooker given a 50 )
Target Subs.
Doffs have ruined the game across the board really and made pvp just that much harder to approach for newbies.
The coming rep system is only going to make this even worse.
Placates are probably my worst nightmare too, it's rough enough targeting people on a six-year-old Toshiba laptop but that KHG shield drives me up the farking wall

While I hate the grind I do wonder if having more critical chance would be better than constant DPS increase.
Im am so jealous.......
My vid card cant run MWO....
. yet
R.I.P
Sigh more content that is not content...........

Yep. I don't think I'm psychologically or philosophically prepared for more grind in this game. Don't know how I'm gonna handle this one yet.
Not as much as my 6 small laser Jenner with an XL300, I'm topping out at almost 143KpH
Also, I think I've seen this before. Ah yes, every single PWE game has a system where doing a crazy grind makes you redonculously powerful (Jade Dynasty's everything past level 150 Chroma, BLA's Paragon, ELO's affinity).
STO is going down that path too... Ah well, at least the dil required doesn't seem so bad now.
And I like what its doing to the zen market. I can buy more zen with the same dil as people are now hording dil instead of spending it on zen, causing a shift in supply.
This is what's keeping me wondering. Should I go for shield heals or placates?
+crit and + starship weapons need no further introduction. I'm glad I took full energy weapon spec; these changes maximize my "terrible" all-out offense build and cloak build.
