Why?

Why did you guys totally destroy this game? The content itself is good but when I can no longer do Crystalline Elite without dying 15 or 20 times something tells me you definitely mess something up. Not sure if it was intentional or not but the game is no longer much fun. Hard to have fun when you spend more time respawning then playing. Oh if this came about because of the not being fair to new players load of bull then tell me why the veteran players who have already put in the time have to have their game destroyed by making the ship builds we worked so hard for by grinding away for EC, consoles, dilithium, and built up our fleets be worthless. Not to mention all the time we put into our Reputation systems. Just by changing the requirements to do rep projects you made it better for new players why take all our rewards away we worked so hard for? Also getting new players up to speed and able to get the reputations done is why we have fleets isnt it? Thats what we do is help each other cant speak for other fleets but I imagine they pretty much do the same.

    15 to 20 times ??? Its been some time since I had a single death playing Crystalline Elite. So what are you doing for this to happen? Flying tin can escorts? Generate clouds of small shards to buff the CE?? Getting trapped in multiple Tholian Tractor Beams just before the CE sends out a Energy Blast ??? (which is the only thing that can kill my buffed up Galor...)

    Maybe the CE is telling you to try doing something different...

    Could just be a bug. Have you tried reporting it?

    I use many different ships. Even when I used my escort before I didnt die like that. Its not just that PVE thing either. Take for example a guy in my fleet has an Atrox that 5 players in PvP would have a heck of a time trying to kill but now 1 player can almost kill him and thats using all his heals on himself instead of others on his team. That wasnt no tin can before but sure seems to be worthless now.

    I think he is making a point about the Reputation power changes that came in Season 9. Tonight was the first time I ran CE Elite since Season 9 hit. It wasn't pretty. I blowed up about six or seven times, where I am usually good for at most once or sometimes twice.

    I am going to either not use the JHAS when running this or retrait to more defensive passives for this.

    And by the way, CE does not count for picking up the Nakura Daily bonus.

    Sounds like the CE wasn't getting stripped down to me. Once Crystalize stacks get up there that thing'll one-shot everybody over and over and over. I wouldn't be surprised if we have a newbie spike to go with the new Season.

    I ran one earlier, the CE was one-shotting like crazy, one player there was hit once, blown up and respawned only to blow up immediately again in half a second. It was weird.

    I routinely run CE Elite in my Cardassian Galor for some quick Dilithium, Nukura Marks and occasional blue and purple Item Drops, and haven't noticed any difference. And running CE Elite is so routine its getting nearly to the point of being boring...

    Now every so often, I run into a CE PUG where someone tries to get high score by using large amounts of self-heals, and in the process, generating clouds of small shards that buff the CE enough to one-shot even a Cruiser. To counter this, in addition to spamming BFAW to keep those shards at bay, I have a Science BO equipped with CE de-buffing skills. If I notice my shields are getting chewed up, I quickly drop out of combat, swap this special purpose BO in, then start cleaning out the CE buffs to prevent it from reaching the one-shot buff state...

    If you are dying that many times you are either,

    A. Running into large shards,
    or
    B. Not debuffing the CE.

    Sounds like you have bad luck with your teams and the CE is just buffing itself to OP levels unchecked.

    I fly a Vesta at the moment which should be pretty vulnerable due to low hull and shields are nearly worthless against the CE.

    But I survive just fine, while I strip the entities buffs with tachyon beam and still have time and opportunity to hand out heals to my team mates.

    I usually end up at least third if not 2nd or 1st these days without dying, unless I don't pay attention.

    I played undine tension in the voth zone with 2 of my friends and we ended smashing the keyboard.

    The only good of this season are the queues, the FE and the revamped episodes. Everything else, is pure garbaje.

    I'm not sure we are playing the same season, Season 9 is great! Really like the direction the devs are taking, and can only speculate where they will go but imo they are on the right track.

    Edit; Those who are quitting, please give your stuff to your friends and leave with grace if your unhappy.
