Borg Ships getting some daft crits 500k+

Tried this on various characters..

the Borg are getting some ridiculous crit shots on Elite STF's and also in the Red Alerts!

This has all happened since Thursdays (12th Dec) patch. 500k+ crits on level 50 chars & decided to roll a KDF & he's getting popped with 50k+ crits and the poor guy is only level 10!! :cool:

Whilst I enjoy challenging game play, crits of this magnitude are somewhat overkill! Not sure if it's the borg getting revenge on us for killing them too quick or Shields & Armour consoles are broke!

nb. Level 50 chars are running top end gear (Elite Fleet, ect)

**EDITED BIT**

Okay, just tried another with just omega gear & getting hit as normal - this suggests that the Fleet gear is not working. Put that back on & pretty much getting ***** again!! lol

    Not sure what your definition of normal is. Is normal getting hit for 50K or what. It's not very likely that having the elite shield on increases damage received by 1000%. Can you provide hard numbers please. Do /combatlog 1 in chat. Use your elite shield and peruse the log when you finish the stf. Use ACT and Aria's plugin if you like to make it easier to find the big hits. Then post what the results were. If you're just looking at the log file itself and not using ACT with Aria's plugin there will be 2 numbers per hit. The first number is the actual damage received after factoring in resist etc etc.

    There are some reports that the fleet shields are bugged atm though. Or maybe it's just a type of shield that's bugged. Or even possibly the ship or some other factors. But hard numbers is still better then no numbers. But there does seem to be something wrong according to others. Although i haven't noticed anything wacky myself. But i also don't use fleet shields and i only use resilient shields.

    It's not just fleet shields considering I don't have any fleet shields, only rep and loot/mission shields at my disposal and, the borg will occasionally land a massive crit with their weapons. Their non high yields plasma torpedoes can easily land 50k-150k crit hits, while I have seen high yields score 150k-350k easily themselves (I my self have not yet been hit with a 500k one but, it could probably happen). And worse yet it seems if a torpedo hits a shield facing and can score enough overall damage to be greater than the shield facings strength, they seem to have a 100% bleed thru. This or plasma fires even without descriptions stating it can score critical dmg.

    Hm, yesterday (and before that i think) i experienced similar issues. I was in a fight against borg, i think it was a fleet defense alert in defera sector or something like that, and i just suddendly died by borg fire even if had full shield strenght and 100% hull strenght. I dunno the exact reason this happens (happened to me about 3 or 4 times) but well, it is really irritating xD.

    Cryptic gave the Borg an insane crit dmg boost some time ago to where the can just destroy you in a single shot.

    Yeah I have read that too recently. There seems to be other complaints about bleedthrough and borg damage since the Dec 12 patch. In either case the only time I am seeing the damage occur was while using the mogh.
    I use to do 100K DPS, but then I took an arrow to the knee.


    Your Ramming Speed III deals 242658 (243540) Kinetic Damage (Critical) to you.

    Hive Onslaught seems to be the most obvious example.

    Two things I noticed about this problem:
    1. Geting a huge crit that does not even do the 1% of the damage written. For example once I got a 90k crit shot from a borg cube and it took down my shield from 100% to about 60% (it was still yellow).
    2. Getting killed without a shot. Seriously, the borg did not shoot me, no laser, no torpedo, no nothing and I died simply because the borg ship looked at me. WTF??
