Crystalline Catastrophe Major Bug.

edited April 2013 in PC Gameplay Bug Reports
Now I don't know if this has been posted in other pages before, but something is majorly wrong with how 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place rewards on completion are being rewarded on the Crystalline event.

Now before last Thursdays patch I had 2 tactical toons placing 1st every time I did it, and my Sci and Eng toons placed 2nd or 3rd.

After Thursday's patch, both my tacts haven't placed 1st at all and my damn Engineer has.

And today I got 2nd on my tact and another Eng in my team got first. What the hell is the deal with the change?

There's no way, my engineer is better then my tactical toon and he shouldn't be first at all? So wtf did they change, that screws tactical over in CE?

Mind you, I have 2 lvl 50 Tacts that placed 1st 3 days in a row then a patch and they haven't placed first at all, and my engineer toon has twice now, when he didn't before.

I think that's a little messed up.

Explanation needed.

    Welcome to the new world order where DPS is no longer king. This isn't a bug it's a long over due rebalancing of the scoring system. The latest patch has nothing to do with it, it's been like this for the entire time the CE has been back.

    An engineer in a cruiser can win now, a sci in a sci vessel can win now. That's not something being broken, that's something finally being fixed.

    Instead of whining because your dps super build isn't a guaranteed "win all" anymore STFU and adapt or perish.

    This sounds interesting, can you elaborate? What has changed, how? etc.

    When Cryptic revamped the Crystalline Entity Event they also revamped the scoring system for the event. Now healing team mates, destroying tholians, destroying shards, not dealing damage to the entity while it's absorbing energy, and several other factors count towards your overall score. Before, just like with 99% of the game, how much damage (DPS) you did was what counted for the scores.

    The Crystalline entity event blog goes into more detail about the new scoring system.

    Healing most likely gives points like other events and projectile weapons give more points than energy weapons. A full torpedo boat cruiser will often come first and beat a full energy boat escort.

    The reason I often win at SB24 is because I understand the scoreing system and it is not all about DPS.
