Hello to all who reads it,
Well it was true what I responded on the topic Im Out where I was considering to quit with the game.
Instead to but my frustrations in here, I am going to put my findings/thoughts in here.
Well on the stfs well in general the lack of communications, especially in Khitomor Vortex (space) also in Infected: The Conduit (space) although there is less important so long every knows what to do, makes it harder to complete at least on Advanced.
Speaking about difficulty, well what I know about the difficulty so tell me if I am wrong Elite is more difficult than Advanced and Advanced than Normal. So Why is (or was for that manner), is the current advanced stfs, Khitomor Vortex (space) and Infected: The Conduit (space), more difficult than it was on Elite. As a side note I dont mention The Cure Found and The Hive Onslaught because I didnt play them that much because those where to difficult on elite.
The reason why those advanced sts are more difficult than the elite, is for one the spheres are more difficult than the cubes, and there are more spheres. For the other is the (mostly) lack of communications and it is more of gamble to get a right team if you do queue the it randomly . I meant with the right team, is a team with some tact ppl and some sci/eng, also a mixture of cruisers and escorts so not just only tac, eng or sci. Well there is was that to get a dps as high as possible, well that is true although I dont believe that completely because there is also the skills, the handle of your ship and the team configurations. Well it saddens me as a sci/eng player, that the dps become more imported now. At any rate imo is that the spheres is becoming harder than the cubes doesnt add up to the players experiences, also since the xp rating for one reason or the other is changed.
The possible solutions is to place the current advanced on elite and makes it for lvl 60 only and the old elite on advanced . This is also because there is currently a big difference between the normal and the advanced, the normal is to easy currently. Well of course how high the difficulty how higher the reward, and from advanced you get the Borg Neutral Processor.
Well why you should play then on advanced then, well that is because if you are interested in some Omega stuff then you have to get the Borg Neutral Processor, and that you will only receive under advanced.
As a result at least the normal ones is the stss less popular, although they could still be fun if option for winning are greater since my winning ratio is now of my alt on a stfs advanced is 2:10.
