Xindi BOff repaired - still useless

firekeeperhu

yep, i'm whining. yep i'm a b*tch. nope i can't get my lobi back. still i need to write down my frustration.

Xindi BOff's traits repaired, impatient is now working - as intended? - a space trait that makes tactical boff abilities recharge faster. kind of the only reason why i bought him, and i'm sure i'm not alone with this. but i still can't feel it any bit. my tac boff abilities have the freakin' same CD as before, despite the shiny 300 lobi/35+ mil EC damn reptile. i feel tricked. i feel robbed. i feel dumb because i fall for it. i call for a buff. at least until I SEE the b*stard making a difference. make my APO cool down 1 sec faster. something. anything. now it's a joke.

if you're thinking of buying him - don't. only if you want to use him on ground (though the vicious trait got nerfed too), or if you want the costume unlock.

Sorry, man. All I can say is that if misery loves company then I hope you feel a little better knowing that you're not alone.

I haven't done extended testing in PVP by looking at every line of the combat log, but as far as I can tell my expensive Xindi BOff isn't doing anything with his unique space and ground combat abilities ... even after today's patch.

I hope this BOff gets fixed since those advertised space and ground combat abilities are the main reason people are buying him.

Yeah, Impatient doesn't seem to be doing much at all.

i measured it with timer, it seems it's still broken

This is just one of many "promised" abilities that do not work. Take a look at the subnuc-DOFF energy weapon officers. At one point they worked, but not anymore. After extensive testing and submitting problem ticket after ticket, I finally gave up. Not once did I ever receive any e-mail reply stating if the problem was even examined, let alone "fixed."

Maybe it is some kind of meta DEV joke, that people who have this BOFF are getting "impatient" with it?

In all seriousness, thanks for posting this. I was tempted to buy one off the exchange, even despite the steep price. But if it still isn't even working, or at the very least is barely noticeable, it clearly isn't worth it.

I wonder, though, do you know what kind of timers you are getting for your tactical powers? Are they already at their global cooldown and so don't benefit from the 5% reduction? Just out of curiosity, what kind of timer are you seeing for tactical team? or torpedo spread?

um, silly question but.... are you sure he's slotted into one of your tac bridge officer slots?

default timers with maxed boff skills. i took off every CD-related gear and doffs (MACO, pattern conn officer, tacteam conn officer). TT, CRF, BO 30sec, APD 45s APO 1min.

tenkari: yes of course
