    yay. I like kicking the borg and all but I'm predicting a 20 minute mission that awards no more than 30 marks and 240 dil.

    I'm actually happy about a new borg stf, because pre X2 i wanted the omega rep gear for my toons. I just can;t get myself to fly another ISE, KAGE, or IGE, or HIVE ,or ... again. So only 2 out of 5 have rep gear from the rep store and 3 out of 5 have completed the rep.

    Actually giving myself a root canal treatment with stuff from daddies tool-belt sounds more fun then either Infected, KA, or Cure. Just don;t release another broken Stf mess like the undine queued events. Just once play test it, and then make sure its ready fro primetime. NO one wants to be oneshot in broken missions, with objectives that can't be finished, NPC and triggers, stuck in walls etc.

    I would like to know if we can do cross faction teaming before queuing for the missions in expansion 2. It would also be nice to team up with friends from both sides to do things like TD Patrol, the current STFs, and some of the other PVE queues.

    But first you must sit through a 15 minute unskippable cinematic before that happens.
    No no no.... That's all wrong. There are no one-shots. You get spawn camped DURING the cutscene. Every cutscene.... :D

    One of the more interesting things about the destruction of ESD, is that you became invulnerable during the cutscenes.

    I hate to break this to you - remodulation and Borg adaptation is PART of Star Trek.

    If this was completely true for game then we would get three shots off and then be running for lifes (or rifle butting borgs for the rest of the ground mission). :rolleyes:

    I am sick of these PVE queues.
    The list of the PVEs is getting longer as much as the time you need to wait for them to start.

    I am waiting for the day that Cryptic realizes that 100 PVEs are not better than 10. We are meanwhile getting spammed with PVE that we are supposed to play 100 times. At the same time many other good PVEs we used to have 1-2 years ago are not played anymore just because everyone jumps on the new stuff.

    And people are meanwhile really sick of the always repeating tasks. Lets face it ... we got to see the same PVEs we used to play in earlier seasons just with a different look.
    Innovation and new ideas are nowhere to be seen.

    Actually in my testing experiences last night, my runs were able to rack up 33-43 marks (Fleet, Omega, Dyson, Undine, or new Delta Marks, your choice) in 20 minutes depending on results on Normal. Not sure about Advanced or Elite yet.

    And yes, I said Advanced or Elite, as explained in last night's Tribble patch notes: http://sto-forum.perfectworld.com/showpost.php?p=18976571&postcount=1

    The solo missions were fun. Don't remember what they were anymore though.

    If Cryptic are smart they may use a choice of three Fleet, Omega or Delta marks. But notice I said "if" they are smart

    I saw a YouTube runthrough of this mission and "Delta Quadrant Marks" were one of the rewards!:eek:

    They could make PVE more interesting by giving them 3,4 different random scenarios for every STF...not just killing one stuff. it gets borring.

    I saw the live stream and few videos and i was thinning about on Elite change some objective to make it more challenging not just to boost the dmg and hp on the Enemy (this is boring and i fall a sleep in the current Elite STF)

    this is a nightmare on advanced even, could it be we might actually need a buff stripper/debuffer on our teams for elite O.o

    sure as hell hope so

    this STF has huge potential unless whining gets it nerfed

    OK, i have been testing this on tribble.

    So far the normal mark rewards are fairly decent, as it depends on how well your team does, which should (thought it wouldnt surprise me if it didnt) encourage teamwork.

    so far on normal the maximum I have seen, getting lot of the optionals done (but not one of them, we just missed out on that one) was roughly about 45-50 marks.

    On advanced at the moment I haven't been on a team that has completed all the optionals, so I am unsure how many marks you would get for that.

    But i suspect it will be a decent payout. Of course the mission is still in flux on tribble as cryptic tweak it and make adjustments, but so far it is very enjoyable.
