So let me get this straight, Because people are crying AGAIN you are gonna nerf the consoles im using for my buiild thus making it weaker? What is the point in having a build if you just keep messing with it?! Im tired of this BS and hope you know this is why you never get any money from me.
You have already nerfed the consoles I dont see any reason to nerf them.
Remember only LOSERS cry for a nerf, You never hear winners complain about anything.

To which consoles are you referring? Surely you don't mean the 300 Billion DPS hilarity that we just went through.
Is this a post about a Tribble patch, that has had several threads created about how screwed up the original power is?
Maybe you want to add a good amount of data and arguments about how this is a nerf (what the hell you are talking about) and other things?
Maybe since you are a genius you can explain how, WHAT, and why, this is a nerf? You could just ride the "look I'm cool, I complained about the game" thing, but neither of you have a case, a argument, or even a frame of reference (even though I know what you are complaining about).
This is why reddit gets more attention......................
Welcome to STO, the home of the laziest Dev team on earth. My best advice is get used to it, they don't care about anything other then releasing T6 re-hash ships.
Fixing bugs doesn't generate revenue, that simple.
If its the consoles that enabled oneshotting the gate in Infected even with both transformers alive... that was so broken it wasn't even funny and HAD to be fixed.

Consoles loosing crit ability?
At this point getting rid of some powercreep is actually a good thing and they dont cost much to upgrade so no big loss there.
And they also lose about 25% base damage additionally to losing their ability to crit at all (which was the bug to begin with).
The "fix" should have been to enable them to crit with anything (beams, cannons, CRF,CSV, BO, BFAW) and an adjustment of their crit damage but as seaofsorrows said, that's not the kind of devs we have.
I don't use them and I manage fine in STFs.
All the anti nerf lot will just have to learn how to fight without them.
Exactly.
Or, if they were unable to fix it for other weapons, then remove the crit for all and give the consoles a flat damage boost to compensate.
Instead, they broke it for beams, and hit everyone with a nerf. Our Devs are completely and totally clueless.
I hate people like this with an indescribable passion, you idiots have no idea what your asking them to do but you expect it done overnight.
Goddam you all.
What is the problem!?
You're making yourselves sound like crybabies because you don't want to have to do anything to complete STFs. A 5 man team with 10k Dps can complete advanced STFs. Are you that bad at this game that you think you can't win without 100k??
On top of it, ONLY Beam Fire At Will benefits with critting with it. Everything else has 0% chance to crit with Plasma Explosions.
... And this was fine for you guys?
But... you just complained... right here...
So, by your OWN standards, you are a LOSER.
LOL
To be fair, you're a LOSER if you're so afraid of fighting without your plasma dopping.
Aww.. is the little kiss TRIBBLE getting mad? You poor little baby.
What you fail to understand, either because at best you legitimately don't understand it, or at the worst because you choose not to, is that the consoles were already in a broken state. I'll explain it from a programming perspective so you can get it. Most of my programming experience extends to small time modding but only difference between that and game design is the scale of which they're both done, especially if you're creating new content. With that said lets get started.
First and foremost when a level or encounter is designed it's designed with a purpose in mind no matter how minor and its intended to be played a certain way with a certain amount of damage in mind. In a game like STO they don't want any particular captain type or weapon type to have an unfair advantage over the others ideally. In other words they want things to be as balanced as can be. lets say for example you're in a space mission and there are 3 packs of ships between you and the objective. If an engineer and tac captain are able to get through them stupid easy but science captains get kicked in the "fleet modules" then they're going to look at buffing science captains. If engineers and tacs have some type of unfair advantage then they may be nerfed. That's just the nature of the beast.
When there are game breaking things in their game Cryptic or any other mmo will call attention to it. It was never intended for the plasma consoles to deal just as much damage or more than your regular 8 ship weapons combined. From the start you should have known that it wasn't intended for them to deal that much damage. Yet you choose to invest resources into building up those consoles when you knew at some point they would most likely get nerfed. it's sad when there are new guys to the game that I know who recognized those consoles were broke when he saw them in action.
Now you like many others are complaining because it's going to make plasma doping alot harder or hopefully better yet, outright impossible. When one thing does just as much damage as all of your 8 ship weapons combined then there needs to be attention called to it. A dev for another game summed it up best awhile back, "in games it's fun to be a one man army wiping out your enemies and just being an unstoppable juggernaut. While that can be fun it's not fun to be on the receiving end of that one man army." The plasma console boosted damage to levels it was never intended to do so and essentially gave you a second set of weapons. It was never intended to be that strong and Cryptic even made this clear with their nerf the first time. Yes it sucks when your favorite toy is nerfed but sometimes it's going to happen. You don't have to like it and are free to voice your opposition to it, but just keep it in perspective. Sometimes like it or not, you will get hit with the nerf bat. If not, then you've not played mmos long enough.
Now all I see is someone complaining that their favorite toy isn't going to be as good and complaining that they can't just steam roll stuff and people with little to no effort.

I'm just wondering which rep console would best go in the slot which is going to be freed up.
"He shall be my finest warrior, this generic man who was forced upon me.
Like a badass I shall make him look, and in the furnace of war I shall forge him.
he shall be of iron will and steely sinew.
In great armour I shall clad him and with the mightiest weapons he shall be armed.
He will be untouched by plague or disease; no sickness shall blight him.
He shall have such tactics, strategies and machines that no foe will best him in battle.
He is my answer to cryptic logic, he is the Defender of my Romulan Crew.
He is Tovan Khev... and he shall know no fear."
TBH, the embassy consoles are still going to be well worth slotting. It'll still deal bonus damage, it'll still boost your chosen science stat and it will still boost your plasma exotic damage (if you use these). On top of that, it'll give you either -Th or +Th to either let you avoid damage, or soak it for the team. IMO the consoles are still great.

I hate ppl expecting others to be as clueless as they are themselves.
I know full well what this entails and "its too complicated now" is nothing but a lazy excuse.
I mean of course they dont have time because their schedule is overflowing with useless stuff noone cares about like fixing some stuff about holo letha when the game is lagging for over 8 month now.
Also just nerfing everything someone complained about to total uselessness every single time is just a well visible sign for design-incompetence.
How about you build a shrine for them where you can do your dev-prayers every morning and keep the forums and therefore us free of all the bs you posted.
Only losers need OP stuff to perform in a mission and therefore only losers will defend broken stuff. Besides... did you even notice you're complaining yourself?
