Parsed an ISE run just minutes after the server went up.
Plasma Beam Array: Critical hits: 51 (23,29 percent)
Plasma Beam Array - FAW III: Critical hits: 0 (0,00 percent)
You guys sure have earned your pay again. GJ

Guys, we're not going to go to the trouble of finding and reporting bugs for you if you're just going to make it worse each time.
We're putting in time and money to get consoles and equipment with certain stated behaviours and when things like this happen what are we supposed to do? What's the point of buying lobi to get say a tachyokinetic converter when we're not getting crits? Or grinding the rep to boost these skills?
Our enjoyment is being severely diminished by this.
Also, and I'm very cross about this, this fix was NOT on any of the tribble patch notes! So we players, who are consistently demonstrating our abilities to find these bugs for you were never given the opportunity to test this fix!
So my proposition:
1) Revert FAW back to a pre season 8 state. The double proc'ing was not a big deal and it penalised very few (if any) players.
2) Only put changes to FAW on Tribble so they may be tested by the players. Do not ship the updates until the community has given them the green stamp.
I cannot stress how meticulous some of us are. We will sit for hours by ourselves in a PvE instance shooting stationary targets to get this data and it just gets blown back in our faces. I think I speak for all us here when we say we're very disappointed. Even more so given that this bug was exactly the same one that happened 2 weeks ago.
This. /10char
And the player base appreciates it
It is too good i am not using beams on my build xD, i only can hope cryptic dont mess the rapid cannon or the scatter volley as well.
It is time to replace your QA department. This kind of stuff simply should not be occurring. We as players are finding these bugs within five minutes of release. Your QA dept is getting a resounding F here.

Leave bugs in the game because they only effect me in a positive way... odd thinking.
If you have suggestions they belong in another thread... so does my post for that matter.
Yup. But people will never learn. They will keep encouragin cryptic to keep releasing new stuff for sale instead fixing the important stuff. Honestly, i have it really clear, if these things keep happening in 2 or 3 months, i will definitely stop my monthly subscription. There is no point in support a team that clearly dont know wat are they doing or they worry more about inventing ways to gain more cash and invest all the time in them instead of working in the real important things. The new update not only didnt fix things that are supossed to be fixed, but still a lot of bugs pending to be fixed and not even news about em. This is really sad, really really sad.
We also have evidence to suggest Acc overflow was still broken even then. So it won't benefit us on balance, but it's better for everyone than this.
PWE ARC Drone says: "Your STO forum community as you have known it is ended...Display names are irrelevant...Any further sense of community is irrelevant...Resistance is futile...You will be assimilated..."
I know you don't speak for me and I doubt you speak for the "majority" of anything.
No ability should be allowing weapons to proc more then normal. That was one of the worst bugs to ever exist in this game imo. Yes it was horribly unbalanced.
Lets be honest you liked it because it allowed your faw boat to push 20k+ DPS in STFs.
really?
So what's my incentive to report new bugs? everything i report doesn't get fixed and actually ends up worse than it was previously.
Honestly if Cryptic is listening... I KNOW Bort you say the work of making CSV work with beams would be heavy... however lets be honest... the work involved with tweaking faw every single patch is higher in the long run... if you need to sell the idea to your bosses. Simply explain to them that ever time this happens, they are loosing RP/PvE Casual players that get annoyed by the state of there main man skill. (Well I guess you won't do that if you think it might mean you job... blame someone else and make the point though lol)
Ok I'll stop being silly... seriously
CSV - Rename it Fire at Will... and take the time needed to allow the skill to work with any energy wepaon. (Seeing beams hit targets in a cone... is MORE true to Canon... it makes more sense in a game sense... and I get the feeling the code is cleaner, I only ever remember one major messed up version of CSV, and when you guys fixed its power useage awhile back it stayed fixed)
No fawtard builds over the holidays... I am.
No according to some reports Phaser is broke as every other energy type. Haven't tried myself though.
Faw has been through quite honestly 30 or so versions now... I don't think the latest changes are anything new. lol
I think you can also blame the 2min STF runs more then anything else.
Regardless the power usage correction although nice... still doesn't fix the game breaking issue that is faw. Its still just as broken... so a small handful of noobs will go from breaking 8 or 9k DPS back down to 6k... but the guys doing 30k are sitll going to be doing 30k.
What they are saying by resolved... is that they are aware of the issue and are either fine with it (don't consider it to be bugged)... or are already working on a fix. Its there way of telling you they hear you with out explaining to you what there future plans are.
Let me guess, you are a cannon user with an obvious chip on the shoulder... He does speak for me and others... I would propose that we all complain about each other skills so they all getting broken and in the end PWE wins as we all spending more money trying to find a build that actually works.
I enjoy playing this game and i've enjoyed beam boats particularly for almost a year now. It's not fun playing the game when stuff is broke. I've spent millions of EC and respec tokens doing tests to find these bugs.
Closing the last thread of the subject saying it's resolved when you did NOT even confirm that energy weapon spec was NOT working during FAW is reprehensible. Admitting there is an ACC problem is a step in the right direction. However the only thing resolved was making FAW use weapon power correctly now. At least i will assume it's working correctly now. Using a weapons battery sure doesn't seem to effect weapon power much. It still drains down to 70 on my ship with and without a weapons battery. Although average weapon power was increased by a bit it looks like.
Crit rate=not working
Crit Severity=not working (assumed)
Weapons battery working correctly ??? unknown
*Edit - Supposedly BranFlakes just confirmed no fix until after the new year. Are you serious? 2 weeks until a fix? Lazy, shameful. Take care of your customers...

It is through repetition that we learn our weakness.

Has damage got out of control?
This is the last thing I will post.
Apologies in the meantime, but we will work to resolve this.
