Like topic said. It is abusrde how mines can crit and blow up ship in less than sec. Not even Borg can do that. Devs should check chaincrit bug already! It is not possible to get 10-20 x 50.000 damage per mine. Belive me, not even stacking resisstance can hold that. Any news on changing mines ?

You can outrun it, shoot it down and avoid them.
But I guess its easier to whine about it.

Tell me if this isnt OP ffs, get your god damm balance already in work !
PS: bog- bug
"a" mine.
That made me laugh.
The Borg cubes though can kill in one shot as well, though thats another issue all together.
R.I.P
Its working as the devs that created the system that no longer work there setup. (its my opinion that it was done to control server lag more then anything) It was never a major problem... mines where never strong enough to insta kill anything. Its more recent that they decided things like tricobalts could have more then one out.
Really the proper fix for trics if crit linking is unfixable for server issues... would have been to undo the tricobalt pattern operation... and they also need to consider that when they create things like cluster mines torps.
There, I said it.
Allowing such a miniscule portion of overall gameplay to dictate how something functions everywhere would be asinine. Maybe a PvP-driven pass would be justified if any substantial amount of PvP options were added.
That is neither a flame, troll, or drug reference, but I'm sure someone will warn me for it and then hide behind their unaccountable anonymity. :rolleyes:
+1 ..the minority should not overmand the majority - Pvp is a tiny, fairly insignificant part of sto - hell, theres likely more constantly pve'ing klingons than there is pvpers from both factions!

TRIBBLE PvE. It's mindless hash that requires little to no thought to complete.
If you can't finish PvE missions without mines you're a fail player.
120.000 vs 400.000 dmg.
You're dead if either hits your structure.
The lesson?
Don't get hit by a big TRIBBLE mine pattern.
He's dead, Jim.
Devs don't agree with you, sorry. Most have expressed a strong interest in PvP and even Stahl said it's the devs' next priority.
vids and guides and stuff

yeah but Stahl's record of telling the truth when mentioning this stuff leaves a bit to be desired

Hi Bud. Nice to see you on the forums
im an idiot pve'er and i approve my message lol
That's true for Tricos, but even a field spammed full of Transphasics can actually catch you off guard.
I don't think transphasic mines are OP, but I do think they fall into the pretty lame category when they get kills this way.
If you have a keen eye, you would see that many balance changes start in this forum first.
You would see an increased amount of dev interaction compared to what has happened up until this point.
You would see branflakes, who works for PWE - not cryptic, showing a consistent (if somewhat subtle) interest in pvp issues.
You would see actual support for organized pvp activities such as the bootcamp.
You would see Dan Stahl putting PvP Rep at the top of the next slew of Rep system priorities along with other very concrete examples such as Tholian and Deferi rep systems.
If you had a keen eye that is.
Hahaha.
All the mines got buffs that the founding devs did not plan for when they made the call to have the first hit calculate crit chance. Would you have been worried about a field of S1.2 transphasic mines ? No of course you wouldn't have.
They got a major shield bypass buff... as well as a base dmg boost when there numbers our where reduced.
Don't get me wrong I like the mine changes... they where mostly good... the tric mines where silly but the idea was sound.
IMO the best way to fix the issue.... is to REMOVE critical hit from ALL mines... and from all dots. (GW / Tykens / Plasma dots ect) At that point they could balance them based on numbers, up or down... if mines and gravity well and plasma dots ALL did 15-20% more base dmg but NEVER could crit would we consider that a bad change ? It would be a buff to NON tac captians that run sci ships.... overall it wouldn't really effect DPS numbers much... but it would make dot builds reliable... and it would Remove the insta crit BS we have now.... and still hit any Server issues the Founding devs coded the one calc for in the first place.
would it help if those mines also killed the launcher? thats what happens to me with tric torp
I agree with the fact that the system has been design as it is. I mean, reducing damage or defense on any weapons or equipment is truly a bad thing to do. There is a Trible server where the Dev can use to test on anything prior to implementing it.
I totally against "Nerf". It is identical to reducing one's salary or demoting an employee. Rather than Nerf or reducing salary or demotion, you'd get better result by removing the item or firing that employee. Otherwise, more bad things may occur in the future.
As of STO, find the actual technical issue (such as lag), and no Nerf please.
