So Cryptic backed out and fixed STFs? Think again.

Reinstated dilithium rewards are lower. There are no items to turn in for extra dilithium. There are no item drops. Instead of cheering that enraged players actually managed to win something, think again.

Lower dilithium rewards mean that you have to grind more for the same result. No extra dil from salvage only aggravates it. No loot bags mean no ec and no decent blue/purple items on the exchange. This will force you to buy stuff from dil stores (fleet/romulan/omega).

Doff reassignment prices are still "adjusted". This means they are still outrageous.

And I wonder which dilithium dailies will be removed with next "maintenance patch". Feds already lost 2880 dil from the daily routine.

Its still a cash grab, but this time they tossed us some scraps.

    Oh wait there's more, it now turns out as i just did one, that the dil rewards for Starbase 24 are now down to 480. So what the f*** is going on here Cryptic and mr oh so smooth candybag stahl?

    It turns out you haven't actually given us anything at all as all you've done is taken from Starbase 24 and given the difference to the STF's. Still no end reward boxes, and dil that is even more difficult to grind than in Starbase 24.

    The idea was you leave the fleet events the f*** alone, not mess with them. Why don't you fix them instead as they've been broken since S7 came out? Virtually impossible to get in one as you are always getting kicked by the server, takes about 10 goes to get in any event atm.

    So basically boys and girls, we are back where we started. Talk about being shafted and lied to because that's all Cryptic are doing atm, lying to us continuously.

    It never ceases to amaze me that people get outraged by things clearly posted in a short set of notes...

    The rediculous farming of sb24 after the patch is exactly why it was nerfed.

    Suck it feds. At least you got your 2 days of wholesale farming, the kdf didn't even get that.

    The borg are Overpowered. I was in an Armitage with mk 12 omega set and tet weapons and I was dying like crazy. Face it STFs should have been left alone.

    480 for all but the higher end places and 640 for those. STF's get 960 for elites and 480 for normal. Also things break nothing is perfect and they are more than likely trying to trace the problem. and these were the values originally set for tribble i have no complaints about them now both give great gear for people to use and also dilith. i can also give ya a reason why they cut dilith so much for things like SB24 they have a cooldown of 30 minutes while STF's have a cooldown of 60 minutes. this difference needs to be balanced out with respectable values. they made a good move in doing this and re adding loot to STF's so account this as a win.

    Perhaps you're dying like crazy angainst the Borg because...and sit down for this...

    THEY'RE THE BORG. The new Hive space is much better. Its a lot harder and represents the first true challenge i've encountered in this game.

    As for the dil being lowered in SB24. Of course it has. It was there to make up for the loss of STF dil but now thats reinstated, it can be lowered again. You can not have everything spoon fed to you. Earn it. Work for it and have fun doing it.

    Challenge yes but not to this degree. WE had a timeship with us as well and we gave up on it. face it, there was not raon to touch STFs only had new ones and yet they did excatly that in a bad way.

    give time for tactics to be laid down for it these new ones are tough especially since they have 2 souped up Unimatrix's for you to fight and it does require a good plan on how to handle that kind of punishment like targeting the regen probes they spawn before those things have a chance to heal it.

    I agree with the posters that are saying retool your play,i myself am using the sci vesta, and im practically screaming at the borg (like donatra)to target me so i can do stuffs like pop all my heals/resists and the activate my graviton shielding when under borg torp spread 3,not to mention the quantum shield bubble.but yea graviton shielding =fbp for kinetic dmg hehe.

    It makes me laugh that when anyone has a game mechanics issue there is a certain crowd of people who just have to drop-by and let everyone know how awesome they are, lol.

    Yeah cause 0 to 480/960 is clearly nothing at all. Boy are we mad.

    Oh yeah no Items to turn in for extra Dilithium! Forgot about that.

    What? Whats a Borg Neural Probe?

    You can get those from Elites? You can turn in 5 for a 15second project to get 5 omega rep and 1k dilith?

    And yes you have to buy weapons from the fleet/omega/romulan store. Why? Because thats the next level.

    We used to get comparable weapons virtually for free and now you're complaining you have to I dont know... Work for it? Work a little harder?

    GET OUT OF HERE!

    Christ you people are never satisfied.

    Get over it. Yes Dilith costs are up and Dilith gains are down.

    More like they took away your unlimited bread bowl.

    And then we complained.

    So they gave it back but with less bread in the bowl so you have to get up and get more, more often.

    So... We complain again.

    Huh.
