so..did conduit advanced today after the patch, well..the enemies are indeed slightly less durable, however, they're still durable enough that when working on the transformers, its all but impossible to stop the enemy swarming right past you even with the entire team using AoE buffs.
I think the enemy space npcs need to go down in durability just a tad more..they're still too strong durability wise.

This. I camp the incoming nanites and hit them with GW and Tyken while everyone else destroys the transformer. It's highly effective.
Isn't the basic strategy this: pop the cube, take down the generators keeping in mind that the 10% rule is again a good thing, pop the gens at all the same time, then pound the TRIBBLE out of the transformer? Did the very same thing in a pre-nerf ISA last night that was successful, the only additional thing was I popped a grav well on the incoming nanite spheres. But even then I think we would have made it with a little room to spare. Failing to follow that basic strategy makes things go very bad, very fast. Not to mention you don't really want to aggro the spheres hanging out by the transformer to begin with.
Crystalline was back about to its old state.

My Recluse build is going to be trying GW and a web-sphere. Although that could be dicey if they're too close to the gate, I suppose.
Do bug hunt elite. Power cells are easy to get. Just quit looking at space.
Did you check to see how many HP the spheres now have? I checked in my run last night and I want to say in ISA they were around 700k.

Forgot, I have a carrier, and employ my Runabout hangar pets with tractor beams.
I myself am still trying to find the incentive to play the game. DR story rewards are TRIBBLE, everything costs Dilithium. Now the marks gained after the daily is TRIBBLE as well. Getting 500-750 marks in order to make rep gear is just take a ridiculously long time. If no one is running the advanced or elite STF's, then how can people complete stuff?
In all honesty, this game was fine the way it used to be. All Stf's had plenty of people running them, now its a ghost town. The game needs more incentive to play, without it, more people will turn away.

What the heck were the 3k guys doing there? They should be on Normal!
Back when I was new (around 2 years ago), I ran Normal and didn't go into Elite until I was sure I wasn't a burden on the team. I think I had managed to get up to 6k in a Sci Oddy without any rep gear (and eight Plasma-Disruptor beam arrays! Mk XI blues!) before I stepped foot into Elite.
It's like people these days have no consideration for others, full of delusions of grandeur.

SOP
Drop a well on the mob then spam the generator. Rinse and repeat if necessary.
Awoken Dead
Now shaddup about the queues, it's a BUG
The 3K guys were the ones dropping the GW.
Srsly, ya think that sci-boat has 5 tac consoles like everyone else ? Ya, I'de give a nut to have a 4 tac console ship thats got a LtCdr sci officer, but they're unicorns.

Simple, the 3k guys are there for BNPs for rep gear, or crafting mats. If you don't like it, blame cryptic for leaving them no other options, not the players for using the options available.
Indeed, you have GW? Good, hit a far away nanite sphere in the group with it and then go back to targeting the transformer.
You have eject warp plama? good, run ober the front nanite spheres with it and then go back to targeting the transformer
You have TRB? Good, rush them like a game of chicken, push them back and then go back and targer the transformer.
Thee effects are used to slow down and stop the nanite spheres..... you target of choice for weapons should remain the transformer.
Also, is it just me or are the Borg ground STF's harder on Advanced than the old Elite?
Earn them in the Bug Hunt Advanced.
I was running the very same STF before todays patch.
I got 1 MK 13 console, everything else is MK 12, still the group I was in could easily complete the run, as long as not some TRIBBLE destroys one of the generators too early.
In my experience the only reason those runs fails when they do,are because of same TRIBBLE using FAW or directly attacking and destroying one of the generators while the rest of the group are still fighting the Cube and sphere.
Its come to a point where I'm asking "is it stupidity or malice" when this happens.
Over a 3 day period I had over 80% of the runs fail for reasons stated above.
So in my honest opinion it not too difficult, far from it, I think its far more likely that its just people being either unwilling or unable to learn and adapt.
It seems most people prefer to just steamroll it like they used to as if nothing had changed.

it's impossible for me to destroy a vila:
fleet dhelan T5-U full mastery
- 2 fleet disruptor DHC MK XII (1741 dps each)
- elachi dual beam bank MK XIII (1525 dps)
- disruptor turrets (MK XIII & MK XII)
- weapon bonus from nukara set, and cc ordnance set
- 5 tac consoles MK XIII
crit chance: 25%
crit severity: 101%
acc: 33%
ISA: as now mobs have more hp, grav well is less efficient
khi'rho station advanced, without a team of engineers or a team with 2 sci captains, with at least Tachyon Harmonic, electrogravitic field, this is too difficult.
We didnt have close to the dps needed, Died 3 times in my defiant but was only one of two people who could take out the cubes.... and it still was not easy.
Normal was cake... and i mean easy.. I have MK14 most things and one hell of a dual beam overload that crits at 50-100k... Quad Cannons, cutting beam, borg set, dyson shield, 4 universal consoles, 5 Mk14 very rare Fleet tac consoles, T5--U, level 59, a lot of spec points spent. Thats what you need to go in to advanced, or at least be able to support the snot out of the guys that are.
I cant play advanced on any sci or cruiser i have.
Yup, I've already said they may as well delete the public queue, it will only frustrate players and make more quit. Casual is dead. Small fleets are dead. Odd time players are dead. Random jump in the action when you got 30minutes to kill is dead.
Their all dead, Jim.
