Hive Onslught is impossible! and Borg on Elite need to have their criticals nerfed

Doe anyone know why the Omega mission "hive Onslaught" is so broken?!?

I'm getting sick and tired of ether getting insta-killed or spawn-killed on that mission.

And speaking of getting Insta-killed Perfect Worlds really need to nerf the critical damage they do, the damage they do isn't difficult... IT'S BLOODY ANOYING!!!!!

    If you're in a PUG, it's pretty much guaranteed that every cube is going to get agroed right out of the gate and then... yeah, things go south. However, it's not particularly difficult to engage the cubes one at a time with a couple spheres (which will race out thanks to EPtE, chasing and killing them will give the cube time to get far enough out to avoid pulling in more).

    If you get swarmed at the spawn, if everyone sits dead for a couple minutes the cubes will head back to the diamond. Again, in a pug everyone will just hit F when they're told to and you'll keep them at the spawn until everyone's death timer is up to 2 minutes.

    Impossible while armpit deep in the mess that are public queues is not the same thing as impossible.

    It was fine, but then re-broken with LoR.

    Just ran it with my fleet, and yes, it was a bit of a nightmare.

    The ONLY THING that needs touching is the unimatrix lance. It hits for 250-300k damage (non-crit) and has a range of 20k instead of the usual 10k. Before LoR they would hit for 50-70k which was fine, but they can one-shot everything now.

    Just fix the lances, leave the queen, cubes and spheres alone.

    Please don't nerf the borg, just FIX THE UNIMATRIX LANCES!

    The 20k range is intentional. It also has a minimum range. It's there so you don't try to cheat the survival optionals by keeping people safely out of range.

    This mission is so absurd, that is isn't worth playing at all. Make it for no less than 20 people or seriously downgrade the lances and respawn rate for the nanite probes & spheres. With 5 players you can't even keep up with those most of the time.

    Just got out of it. Have beat it dozens of times and now I get one shotted by Lances from 18k away. Got one shotted more times than I can count along with my whole team that just got the optional killing all the cubes in time. lol
    Please fix this! I swear to Jebus. Things are jacked in this game. Every week it's something new that's bugged or broken.

    I've asked for a 20man borg stf for awhile now, and this would have been a perfect environment. I mean the Unimatrix should be very heavily defended, more so than it is currently.

    Even in Elite groups nobody wants to play hive because of this, that's messed up because that one WAS one of my favorite missions to run:(
