    All the kudos goes to the team :) I just post the notes that are passed along to me. I will let them know though!

    Cheers,

    great job fixing BFAW

    Now ask them to make Beam Ovrload worthwhile to put back on our ships in PvE Currently it does about one tenth of the damage of BFAW every 15 seconds and isnt worth slotting on our ships

    Beam users need more than 1 usable weapon ability for DPS

    Thanks

    I truly hope it does, as it was a fun mission with nice visuals with the best payout for Romulan marks in the game.

    all the fun sucking vampires get everything fun taking away

    Just curious, but has there been any word about changing the "loading" screen to "The Sphere" instead of the green-themed "Legacy of Romulus"?

    Thanks!

    That sounds like an awesome patch, providing it fixes all that is stated and breaks nothing else in the process...

    I didn't realise that it WAS coming back?

    Why would it be gone in the first place, nothing in the patch notes about it being removed. It simply vanished from the pve queue list and I haven't seen a dev comment about it yet.

    Elachi alert was removed by the devs for being too easy to farm marks with, if memory serves.

    Less than an hour left in the patch...

    Sorry, I don't have a link.

    I heard in-game that the devs had removed it--there were multiple people on ESD and in the winter wonderland complaining about it, so I am quite certain that the word is credible.

    Has mine enemy ever been fixed or is the door still bugged? I didn't see it in the last few patch notes and yet it's not in the known items either.

    Nothing at all in the patch notes about it. Don't see why removing a whole queue wouldn't be patch notes worthy. Also, why is it removed and not epohhs? Epohhs are king for epohh rep, i mean romulan rep.

    Lol @ esd zone being credible, if that were true the world is ending.

    It works as of last week. I finished it the other day, both Fed and KDF.

    Zone chat credible? :eek: This is exactly why you don't take the word of zone chat without a link. Here is the link you're searching for: http://sto-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?p=13881551&highlight=elachi#post138815511. Its removal has nothing to do with its rewards.

    Some nice fixes here though I assume it will as always break more than it fixes :)

    Still nothing on the Keybind issues people are having, this for me at least is a game breaker.

    Ah, thanks BranFlakes.

    I may be blind but I didn't see anything for the PVP winter race. They were supposed to have a fix for it this Thursday. Did that get pushed back?

    Nothing mentioned in the patch notes, but I have it on good authority that the race has been fixed so players can't steal the flag without racing.

    I was chatting with some fleeties just before the downtime, about having a running contest in which prizes would be handed out for correctly guessing what each patch would break.

    Any hints as to what it will be? :D

    And do you have a timetable for release, or is this going to be more like the ongoing Foundry fixes? (not that either option is a bad thing, I just would prefer a solid release date if one is available)

    Feedback wrt Elachi Alert, it was nice for a change of queues that you could get good Romulan marks with in space. Azure Nebula is a lot of hassle and not worth my time to run, this was a good supplement to the epohhs. The daily is good but only if you're already in TD.

    Bringing back Elachi Alert as a permement pve queue would be good. With the Elachi Lockbox you released a doff pack called Elachi Survivors, and those had an inherent increase of damage vs Elachi. Outside of the Romulan Campaign and very specific PvE queues these doffs' additional special ability is wasted.

    Also clearly the Elachi Alert being a temporary thing during its design and implementation was miscommunicated to the players as many expressed outrage over its removal, in the future, for clarity's sake explain that in the Blog that accompanies it's release, and the patch notes that will remove it from the game.

    No hints, sorry (other than the mark/dilithium/etc. rewards, those are already posted on the forums)! We'd like to have it out as soon as possible.

    I agree, I never understood the point of creating content just to make it limited, I feel the same way about the Utopia Planitia map that comes out only for the First Contact event.
