Overall feelings on Season 8

jellico1

spent about 6 hours in dyson sphere the content is good however

once we get the marks we need there isnt any reason to stay

The rewards are that bad if cryptic wants players to stay and play in this new content it had to be as profitable as what we have

Or

It wil become a Noob zone with lots of angry noobs because no Vet players wil be here to teach them what to do in a few weeks when all the Vet players have what we need from here.

Dilithium needs a serious boost
EC loot needs a very serious boost
Choice of marks needs to be added

once we Vet players get the dyson rep done there wont be any reason to come back

just like New Romulas

So, having played the new content on two characters over the last 6 hours, I have come to a few conclusions already.

1. The new content is quite fun, but lacks challenge for end game geared (tier 5 fleet gear) people. For a single casual player it might be difficult, but not for anyone on a team or well geared for ground content.

2. After getting all the goodies out of the rep, most people are going to go back to grinding ISE and the other STFs instead of staying here. It wont have a lasting replay value, unfortunately.

3. I was quite surprised at the lack of truly glaring game breaking bugs, but some annoyance ones do exist (example being the "Find the lost ship" mission you get early on. The ship either never shows up, or when it does nothing ever attacks it. There are also some geometry issues in both the Storming the Spire and Breach missions, you can get stuck in walls very easily, and often in Spire the NPC Voth Transports will go way inside a landing point, and the only way to hit them is to go in there and get yourself stuck to do so.

4. The new rep progression and sponsorship are top notch.

5. The fleet holdings and everything related look excellent.

So, in closing id like to say that pretty much every piece of content in the new season needs a difficulty increase, maybe 30 percent more damage output or something. I love how they use tons of abilities (APD, GW, and TT among them), but unless youre flying solo, these things are pretty easy guys.

Id also consider doubling the dilithium generation rate in all aspects of the content, else youre going to find this place becoming very quiet after the first couple of weeks due to the Elite Borg STFs still awarding nearly three times the dilithium/hour of anything else in the game.

Thanks for reading.

I tried, I really tried to find fault in something you said.

Couldn't.
