Booo! Booo! Boooooooooooo! Don't "fix" what isn't broken, gods *damn* it.
Shame there's nothing in here confirming if the XP changes are intentional or a mistake. I personally don't really care one way or the other, but an official word would be nice.
It's very broken from what I've seen.
Sarcasm aside, thanks for all the fixes and updates, they are much appreciated! :cool:
Second this - are the current XP reductions operating as intended?
The customisation options are NOT part of that problem. Having him in a Starfleet uniform was actually a highlight of the Delta Rising mission set for me. Taking that away is supremely disappointing and yet another nail in a coffin I don't want closed.
I only care about changing his uni, I could care less about his facial and physical options. This is yet another disappointment in what has been a disappointing expansion... I only hope the changes I made to mine stay the way they are

stack splitting only exists because you couldnt be bothered to go in and change existing items to be in accordance with new bound status.
Genius idea, truly. /sarcasm
^ This + a gajillion
ya knew that wasn't going to last. I'd actually prefer a whole spectrum of weapons, as long as they keep the acc3. not going to hold my breath there though
thank you for fixing this promptly. FYI, kdf players over level 50 don't show up on any pvp scoreboards
doesn't effect all that? what good is it then
good riddance to that
ya just sticking an energy weapon proc on a torp is not enough, at least a 10% chance was needed
lame, seriously.
all these little tweeks this has gotten over time, its got to be someones favorite. but no one ever bothered to make a fleet version, so you could at least get an 11 console version now
wait what? awesome! absolutely logging in to see this.
just as awesome
that sounds interesting
MISSING from this patch is an explanation why xp from kills on elite was reduced by SEVENTY PERCENT. you are aware an npc that takes approximately 20 times longer to kill, that gives only 3 times the XP, is VERY POOR GAME DESIGN, right? and advanced is no better, 10 times longer to kill, for the SAME to +10% more XP.
people played on elite because there was an XP incentive too, now there is 0 incentive, and playing on normal gives you more XP for your time. you are doing it wrong.
Are these tonics still unique items ? I still don't get why they had to be made unique in the first place.

Now shaddup about the queues, it's a BUG
However, on the Female Odyssey Long Jacket, the base/jacket color, now incorrectly colors the 'inner' collar as well. It's not the case for regular, short jacket or the Dress jacket. What I mean is here - it should be the second 'bar', which should affect the collar color, as previously

Odd that this has been on the "Known" list since the release of DR, yet I've had no problem running Practice Tactical Exercises III but other issues have been omitted.
I agree. When Worf joined the Federation, was he walking around the ship in smelly ol' KDF garb? No. He fell in line and ran his station dutifully. I expect my boffs to do the same. Therefore, all unique boffs should be (at least to an extent) customizable. Even Neelix had the decency to don a commbadge!

Between its fragility and the above, are we to take it then that "not correctly" meant they WERE being affefcted?
All of the negative remarks about us doing this because we "hate giving players options" or other such nonsense, I frankly find a bit insulting. This Boff was made this way simply because the art time isn't available to address all of the customization options that are clearly 'broken' in the current iteration of the officer. We knew that would be the case when first creating him, and so customization was supposed to be unavailable from the outset.
So we're fixing the bug. That's it.

"Play smart!"
The spec point loss was intentional. I have a feeling the rest of it was, too.
From the link: "While many players participated a little in the exploited maps, very few really took advantage of it to excessively level characters. We identified this small number of players, and we have removed the excess levels from these characters."
SPEC POINTS and EXP NERF?????
Many of the listed entities were being affected by Kinetic Magnet's pull, even though doing so had little-to-no effect on them. They were doing nothing but eating up the target cap on the ability.
About half of all Mines were incorrectly flagged to not be affected by this ability, as well as a small number of entity-torpedoes.
Both of those errors are addressed in this patch. The ability should now be affecting only intended targets, and doing so far more reliably and effectively.

"Play smart!"
Will KDF players with the existing bugged version have their boff changed to the correct faction so that he will beam down or be trainable in science skills? Or, will there be a way to reclaim the fixed version?
It's still a massive step backward for the BOFF though. It goes from something players would use to something players will skip.
For better or worse, Cryptic is on thin ice with a lot of people who have in the past supported them. Things like this don't really help, do they?
:mad:
Link: Castra - a german Fleet.
When is the dilithium exchange going to be fixed? I still cannot sell Zen for dilithium (unable to create dilithium exchange offer) and many others are experiencing the same problem?
When are we going to get a comment about the XP nerf? The missing specialization points? The broken Mac client? The bugs that have been around for years and have yet to be fixed (surround sound crackling, chat window resizing by itself, Deep Space Nine voting, etc.)
Please stop adding features until you've fixed the existing ones. All development resources at this point should be devoted to fixing bugs, not adding in more features to pile on top of ones that don't work.
