Any word on whether these will be fixed before "Agents of Yesterday" goes live?
Cutscenes:
Probably. Hard for me to know, especially without specifics.
Seductive stance:
Fixed in next Tribble patch.
Lip Synching:
Being worked on.
Running posture:
I've been unable to reproduce this issue; but I was looking at a build that was a few days newer than Tribble. I had been seeing it before then; so it might be fixed on this patch.
Issues with Captain Garret:
WIP
Thoughtful:
Same as the running posture; it looked fine to me; but my build was a few days newer than the Tribble patch at the time.
Emotes:
All now function (next Tribble patch), except Roll Dice (which I'm told was always just a chat emote).
Any other issues I've passed on; but am uncertain as to the status of:
edit: on my TOS character at level 6 at least, I'm not able to select Bridge Officers for the Standard Away Team. No problem selecting Ship Stations though.
Yay!!
Also yay -- though, like others, I do wonder if we'll be getting a unique TOS vet reward somewhere down the line.
I gotta say, you folks are just crushing it with all these bug fixes. At this rate, you may yet prove me wrong about that buggy launch.
I no longer see the "foot in the air" issue, but the transition back to the standing posture is still too abrupt; it happens noticeably quicker on Tribble than on Holodeck.
I'm still seeing the hands clip through the hips. Maybe, this bug depends on species or gender. I tested the "Thoughtful" stance on a Vulcan female.
Does this include C-Store emotes? Millybun said that she couldn't test them, because we don't have access to our C-Store unlocks on Tribble.
Yeah! Has a really nice look, too -- more subtle, not as garish as the main three factions' scanning effect.
Thank you for the detailed report. I will continue to look into those issues.
Yes. I have gone through the list of every emote that is in the emote window; including ones such as ItsAFake, Khan, and so on.
I believe I have figured out what you are seeing. Thank you for the detailed report and follow-up.
Your father was captain of a starship for twelve minutes. He saved 800 lives, including your mother's, and yours.
I dare you to do better.
Also:
Still not quite right, the loading screen appears when we're mid-tranportation, I can still see my character (transparent, but still present) when it cuts to the loading.
No problem. Thanks for looking into it.
2] "Omega Kinetic Shearing (Reputation T2) now uses the pre-resistance damage values to calculate the Damage-Over-Time effect, instead of post-resistance."
Okay, let me get this straight,
OKS does not benefit from the boost to DoT since its a % of damage done to hull and as such is not counted as a DoT...
Eventho the description of OKS states its a DoT, and its constantly referred to as being a DoT in official patch notes etc.
But now its subject to the DoT resistance? … isn't that measuring with two metric systems? Its either a DoT with the boost + resistance or its not. Its either referred to as a DoT or its not a DoT.
The second part, OKS now uses pre-resistance damage values to calculate the DoT [hence its named DoT, even tho its not benefiting from DoT buffs, but is subject to DoT resistance] instead of post-resistance …. does this mean OKS is not benefiting from debuffing the target?
Kinda sounds like a double nerf-rollover
don't get me wrong here, just pointing out how confusing and cryptic it all is.
I was thinking the same thing. OKS doesn't need to be less effective
Also, it's the only place to buy TOS-faction boffs, which is sadly necessary if you want consistent transporter effects. (ETA: This is assuming, of course, that they fix the problem where you can't slot TOS boffs into your default away team.)
That is not accurate. It is counted as a dot. It does not benefit from the DoT boost because it cannot have its own damage percentage increased, because allowing damage that is a percentage of other damage to have that percentage scaled up would allow things to double-dip on damage buffs; which is a very bad idea. It not having its percentage buffed is entirely separate from it being a dot. The text was added to the power to clarify why this is the case.
The two parts of the patch notes that you are asking about:
should be taken in the context of each other.
Previously (on Holodeck); it triggered off of post-resistance damage; and was unresistable. Now; it triggers off of pre-resistance values; and is resistable. In both cases; it benefits exactly once from resistances. These changes occurred because there were two issues with this power Borticus noted looking at it while adding this note to be sure that his description would be accurate:
The damage from Omega Kinetic Shearing was setup in a manner that should have meant that it triggered from post-resist damage, but additionally would have been resistable. This was fixed and standardized to be like Concentrate Firepower; which triggers from pre-resist damage but is resistible. However; no part of Omega Kinetic Shearing was set to be resisted when you attempted to resist it; meaning that your resistance had no impact (powers can be setup to be resisted in magnitude, as most damage effects are, in duration, as holds, roots, and similar powers are, both, or neither.) This second bug was also fixed.
The end result of this should be the following things:
THE captain garret from the "C"? Getting excited here.
BLAH BLAH BLAH. What a tremendously huge load of BS crypticspartan. YOU cangame that double dip literally everything else in this game to power creep in one way or another. Clearly you don't know your own product and have no idea what you're doing
No, different captain Garret. This one is male and is voiced by Vic Mignogna, and is in a TOS era uniform, and becomes an admiral. It's possible that Ent C garret is his daughter.
If the changes are to calculate OKS's damage based off of the player-buffed mine/torp PRIOR to shield impact, that alone is a HUGE buff to OKS. See @crypticspartan#0627 --> post on reddit. <--- Click to see for yourself.
The calculations of pre-vs-post resists for unshielded targets would be a nerf IF OKS was *currently* based off of the final damage of the mine/torpedo to hull (which it is not on Holodeck as of last test). The target could be heavily debuffed, and the mine/torpedo could have a final damage that's well into the hundreds of thousands, but OKS would only look at the base damage of the shot and calculate from there. That DOT damage, though, would not be subjected to resists.
Personally, I'd like to see the mine/torpedo damage impact the target post buffs AND resists calculations, and then OKS takes 40% of that damage and then applies said damage over 6 seconds for UNSHIELDED targets, and then default to the proposed changes for shielded targets, but that would be a coding mess, a mechanics, mess, and even after typing it, I see headaches already.
EDIT: Drew more attention to the actual link itself.

I knew using Kinetics would be playing the game on hard mode, but what I didn't realize was how bad the deck is stacked against Kinetics.
<ends nerdgasm>
I can confirm, I managed to complete Babel and claim rewards.
Minor updates to the shard config. Patch tomorrow.
Should be unlocked now.
That's pretty much what I expected after reading the changes. also~
Thank you, thank you, thank you! Sincerely.
That would be a nice thing, especially since those TOS manuals are Char Bind On Pickup. Otherwise I would have to make sure I grab every single thing I could possibly want (such as TOS manuals, TOS Torpedoes, TOS Phasers, etc) for that character, and then do that one mission and get her stuck in the 25th Century.
