Give Onslaught better rewards, it take way too much time and costs way too many resources to play. I only play it as a last resort for Marks. I do enjoy the regular, but there are even less rewards.
Hi, my name is: Elim Garak, Former Cardassian Oppressor
LTS, here since...when did this game launch again?
I agree, the STF is insane right now. However, I only believe they should increase the reward, not make it easier.
My reason for this is simple, the reputation rewards does make things easier. When everyone is buffed from getting to Tier 5, we might stand more of a chance. Then the increased reward will make sense - so those that have invested the time to get to Tier 5 will be able to more realistically go for the increased reward.
Either that, or as you say, nerf the insane Borg
Why should we wait till the Tier 5 ??? Getting directly to the point with my question : I have invested a great deal and rl money to get the highest available items (ships, shields, engines, hull, weapons, deflector, name it) in this game before Season 7 became online, to see it turned into useless materials. Do you think this is acceptable ? Before Season 7, I could easily take on the tactical cubes and go on till it was down, with the 2 fingers in the nose. Now it's more a hit and run, with the hope that those insane kills that borg have now. It's a pure rip off and that Mr. D. Stahl is becoming more and more the next Brian Shuster of the interweb : promising a lot, delivering nothing and stealing our money.
Its fine as is for the final borg space. I haven't lost a pug yet, and finished one short a player who rage quite after getting lanced every time he parking brake tanked a royal guard. So its quite passable with room temperature IQ and moderate builds and decent gear. Rather forgiving for the end all space encounter.
I would have made it where she swapped range modes and utterly demolished anyone who wasn't in the proper spot when done transforming. Also dear god dont steal aggro off the tank or let it die as she would AOE torp spread with a bonus 20x damage. That would have been fun and made the pugs cry.
Also the reward is performing with excellence on the hardest mission, farm something else play Onslaught to test your abilities, as much as it will. Pug PvP is still a grade or two higher than Onslaught.
Agreed. Hive Space Elite is a very easy STF even with PUGs.
lol it is easy as long as people and listen but most pug group charge in and don't think on what will happen.
I have had some bad pug groups.
Thing they need to do right now is fix the PVE Q.
And some things on STF mostly it is not broken but some things do massive damage that should not do as much when a ship has a hull of 42,000 and they take away 90% of that in one shot.And plasma fire hits for about 10 to 15% of your hull unless you have a hazard 2 or 3 ready witch in most cases there not ready to use.I think the timer needs to be fixed on this one.
The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.
God I wish I knew where most of you losers defending this POS or 7 in general lived. If so I could come to you house and punch you right in your ******.

Your inability to adapt to this new STF and the new challenges it brings are not my problem.
It is said the best weapon is one that is never fired. I disagree. The best weapon is one you only have to fire... once.
I remain empathetic to the concerns of my community, but do me a favor and lay off the god damn name calling and petty remarks. It will get you nowhere.
I must admit, respect points to Trendy for laying down the law like that.
This is how the borg should be, my suggestion would be give the borg those adaption abilities in space.
I would love to see a pug's reaction, he/she has dropped the shields on a cube, lines up a torp run and see the words adapted. The borg should be like the nightmares of Wolf 359 and Sector 001.

Didn't DSthal said something liek that the "insane" spike damage will be reduced and the overall damage increased? No more oneshots but more reasons to have a healer/crosshealing and a tank with you :-)
And just because there are some players who are just plain stupid or spoiled after the easy PVE content (storymissions xD) doesn't mean that the ESTF should be nerfed.
The extra fast leveling and absolutely no challenge in the Storymissions means that the usual player is not prepared for the onslaught of an ESTF .
AND when then the plasma dots do some real damage ... oh my xD
1) Its the VARIENT of the costume and at T5.
2) No, the unlock is based on the accolade that is unchanged, Hive does not count.
3) Its still the costume project, armor have the normal visuals so if anyone is wearing a Mk XII Omega Armor it will be the same as the Mk XII Omega costume, except it cannot be customized.
I'm sorry but according to the description it specifies ALL elite optionals, and you would have no idea because you are not yet tier 5.

There are no accolades associated with Hive optionals in the game.
If there are no accolades, how can those costumes require them?
EDIT:
The accolade in question is "M.A.C.O. Team Commander" for Fed, or "Honor Guard Commander" for KDF, so you can check for yourself. It doesn't include Hive.

The old accolade system is broken for STF's as I have completed all the old optionals yet it doesn't unlock the accolade associated for completing the two accolades that were needed in the past to give the costume unlock at its highest tier. persoanlly I think they haven't yet made the full changes to the old accolade with all the new season changes thus far.

Which specific accolades are you referring to that are broken?
Accolades MACO elite commander(broken for me)says complete maco commando and team commander accolades(completed both) did not unlock maco elite commander accolade and has been bug reported without a response in over a month.
OMEGA force shadow operative(broken for me)says complete omega force operative and either honor guard commander or maco team commander accolades(completed both) did not unlock omega force shadow operative accolade and has been bug reported without a response in over a month. Any more dumb questions.
Are you lying? Because your attitude suggests to me that you're lying to protect your ego. Otherwise, you wouldn't be saying things like "any more dumb questions" and being as aggressively defensive as you're being.
You're the only person I've heard of that has claimed to have these broken accolades, so I think either you're lying, or you're mistaken about your completion of these accolades.
If I'm wrong, then post a screenshot of your accolades and I'll concede that you have a genuine issue, at which point I'd suggest you go make a thread in the bug report forums (found here).
If you want people to believe you when you've got a problem, try not acting like a jerk. You want people arguing on your side, and being rude and aggressive isn't going to win you any friends.
Just did Hive Onslaught Elite tonight with the optional. Other than being one shotted by a 500k v'ger torpedo it was easy enough to do the mission while mumble had a conversation going about something completely different while we were doing it(like 12 of us in the channel, we were too lazy to move to our stf channel).
I ran an tac ody/engie...high threat, all the tankie skills ship. 2 copies of HE, 2 TT, 2TSS, and a very useful polarize hull(don't want to lose Defense bonus if you can help it)along with the usual epts/es/atsif3 yadda yadda. I kept the Borg off the dps for the most part and patched when they needed it.
The only real difficult in hive space is staying alive... Everytime I play it with may fleet, i am successfull in all the optional and finish it in about 20-25 minutes...
[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]
Playing STO spamming FAW is like playing chess using always the computer's suggested moves
wow you team must of been bad, ran it a few times the other night and didn't have a problem till the queen shes a littel op but a good team can over come that problem.
beat Hive onslaught elite last night and if you and everyone else knows what to do it goes along quite well you just have to be on your toes a bit always waiting for the giant torps or the queens debuff following up with a torp spread.the unimatrixes and queen are hard for sure and you WILL die at least once teamwork can take care of them. and we did it with 3 crusiers and 2 vestas nuthun real DPS oriented but we wore em down and that is what counts.
Now, Into the Hive Ground Elite is another story, way too hard, they need to nurf it, and make the electro platforms also kill the borg that are on the square.
I second this, the floor should also do borg damage, there is just way to much to think about with the ground mission, borg, floor, bombardment, queen...rince and repeat numerous times!, tbh iv played all elite missions and the hive ground is the only one i can not complete, even with a really good team, its just way to hard and has to much to think about at any one time. nerf it or bin it!!!
A pve for 5 people, after about 5 deaths each just to kill the guardians, the 2 weapons protecting the queen ammounted to about 25+deaths each person without a single successfull destruction of either of the 2 weapons.... To put it simply they have incorporated too many repair and tractor spheres along with too many probes protecting the weapons, not to mention the over abundant damage the 2 weapons inflict just themselves..... I got hit by a single plasma torpedo for easy 89,000dmg one hit kills from almost every weapon they defend themselves with. So devs you all must have really been hitting the crack pipe when you designed that mission for only 5!
Totally agree.The main issue is the lack of reasonable cds for the npcs,they simple spam skills ultra fast and you cant keep the pace.
Inst hard its simply broken,fix it.
It's a major waste of time and is impossible, even with a expertly coordinated team. So far won 1 out of 173 tries. Everyone with tier 5 ships or even fleet ships. Using anti Borg rep gear and specialised fleet gear. I say either fix this TRIBBLE or remove it. There is no excuse for that mission to exist or be that hard

I doubt this is even true. My tricorder detects a troll. Here is probably how it really went: 25 deaths pp to take down guardians, another 45 deaths pp to take out unimatrixes. Another 25 deaths pp to take out queen. Replace casual setup with: most Specialised equipment for taking out Borg. And time feed to about 1-2 hours.

You NEVER see a borg again
defeat them here and the Borg all over the cosmos should permanently (from your perspective) DIE
not one more borg EVER
then it would be worth dealing with

Agreed on this.
Not to mention, making threats like that is against the forum rules, I recommend you relax a moment, lest you get yourself a ban.
