    Start popping your small exp boosts, seems these are 'exploits' as well and are getting nerfed to 1/3 their boost.

    What small XP boosts? I'm not planning to buy any, or anything else from this cursed game, if it can be so arbitrarily changed.
    I AM WAR.

    see Tribble Patchnotes :
    -The Small XP Boost now grants 1,000 Bonus Skill Points instead of 3,000.
    -The price will remain the same at 200 ZEN.

    The 3K ones, I got a few from lockboxes and supposedly they're sold in the z-store. Word is they're getting nuked to 1K boost for the same price.

    Likely tomorrow.

    Reading this thread is more fun than playing the crappy new content.

    I think all exploiters should be banned, including myself, that way I don't have to buy any more Zen.

    I was going to buy a ship pack next month, but unless the xp problem is fixed, I will not be doing that.

    Until then I am playing Firefall, I might even clean the garage.

    All of u qqers are using exploit by matching low lvl to get insanely large amount of exp in sector which are not designed for this. Ships there are weak and have low structure and damage even on elite difficulty. In a lot of other MMO ppl get ban for this.

    I agree!!! Would someone please think about the poor, helpless NPCs?!?!?

    Has anyone thought about the fact that romulans that join the federation are sent to this sector at the Lt. Commander level? and that said mission is still being given out with sector closed? or that after you attempt to get in there, all other sectors give this error.. Grr.. All I want to do is play the game.

    HOW exactly have you come to the conclusion that THIS is the exploit? have you ever stopped to think that cryptic may have actually uncovered a true exploit that most of us were not aware of with these maps?
    Did not think so, no you jumped in and started bashing those that actually USED what is effectively a FEATURE of the game that has been around for a VERY LONG TIME and now its an exploit?
    Or are you just jelous you did not get to use this FEATURE?

    on the flip side of what i just said, if Cryptic are claiming this is the exploit and we will find out soon enough then all i can say is SHAME ON THEM for adding a feature that they clearly thought was a good idea at the time as it made it into the game.
    In no way is this an exploit if they intentionally added this to the game, logic says to me (maybe i am far to logical for the dev team) but if you do not want people to scale their level down and actually claim greater XP then do NOT add it to the game, i am damn sure here that they could do the scale up only as is evident across the likes of red alerts and fleet queues.

    No way can anyone class this as an exploit considering it was an intended feature or it would just not be there really is that simple.

    This is the current issue. Several of our members have romulans and cannot complete their missions. Several are brand new players that started within the last 5 days, or so. They are, understandably, a bit upset.

    I don't think you and a lot of people even know what an "exploit" actually is.

    or maybe you don't :)

    i can not see how something that they had to program in to existence and program what happens if a higher level comes down to the level of a 50 or lower etc and how much XP they receive would be construed as an exploit.
    I am quite sure they could have just done the whole increase a player to match a higher level and not the reverse.
    This is no way a side effect of them creating a system for a lower level play to match a higher level player like in most other games, this was programmed to be both ways.
    Therefore in no way is this an exploit but do feel free to explain how YOU think this is an exploit!
    besides your so called exploit here can be done all over this game, story missions, other sector patrols etc etc etc and yet the rest are not offline please feel free to explain that in this situation as well.

    What, you all did grind the WRONG boring patrols? What gives? :P


    Yeah, classic game designer fail. You don't give your players interesting content, but boring grind content instead. And when they then walk the path of least resistance by using boring grind content, that works faster, you have to shut it down. :rolleyes:

    Omg, this is what you call policing. They police the wrong things, but leave the other things to fester.

    What hits my nerves is that everything is being nerfed. Really.

    Also ths should get them worried. More people are here instead of the game.

    I finished the Dr content in 1 week. Normal play. Fell asleep doing some of the patrols in delta rising and even wonder at half of the **** tthat the intel officers have. So far none of them works.

    Then they increased all the hps in the game on all the npc. So i am flying a t6 eclipse with 68 k hull facing off against ships with 890k huls times 6. With skills that dont work.

    I am not dps orientated. Dont even care how to make my ship hit hard. but WTF people. Which boss came into your meetings and said. Oh lets increase the hulls of these ships to 890k. Just for ****s and giggles.

    I ask this one more time. What are you smoking and is it legal where you guys think **** up.
    /doublefacepalm.
    Whether you think you are right or wrong, either way you are RIGHT.

    Any exploit is whatever Cryptic says it is whenever they want. Does that help?

    Sure ... but that would imply buddha1369 is some kind of omnipotent Cryptic-entity ... how else would he know what's an exploit and what isn't ...

    They can take anything they want deem it an exploit, it's entirely up to them.

    Just like we can take anything we want and call it bs, that's entirely up to us

    I heard about it in chat - what exactly was it?

    What disturbs me about this is that there are genuine bugs and issues with the game but they almost NEVER shut down a sector while the game is up...

    QoL issues, Qeues that are HP-Sacks and genuine bugs?: Meh.

    Something to take pressure off of grind?: STOP EVERYTHINNNNGGGG!!!

    Yeah, someone figured it was due to the Spec points being earned for FREE rather than buying and using boosters.


    The belief is that it was stopped because not using boosters was costing PWE Around $120 per player.


    Sadly I'm inclined to believe it.
