Nerf Aux2Sif Placate Doff

borgresearcher

It's imperative that this doff gets a nerf, the doff placate plus other auto-placates makes it nearly impossible to focus someone for more than 2-3 seconds between they instantly disappear for 4 seconds, that plus the time it takes to target him again. It's just too annoying and makes it almost impossible to kill someone nowadays.

Hmmm... Aux2SIF... engineering? I can't imagine that....with Miracle Workers taking over the STO world right, now.

its about the doff, not the ability

borgresearcher

since it doesnt proc on mobs, you shouldnt even worry, its problem is pvp-wise, turning matches into a complete placate-spam fest, where you cant really kill someone becuse they will disappear in 2 seconds, and when you prepare your alpha-strike to combo with your team nuke and support, he will auto-placate you... a single doff is making pro 5v5 matches last for hours... most of them we just end up leaving... so yeah... people can chain aux2sif every 10 seconds, so its a 4second placate plus all the annoying tab-targeting it takes to focus the dude again, that isnt resistible with crtlx, and only removed with engineering team ( like you have engineering team at the right time plus that stupid 1 second it takes to activate abilities ) making someone almost immune to burst, its just another 50% uptime immunity disguised of auto-placate.

If the Evil Gramps hate it then I must be for it.

pretty much everyone who wants a chance at pvp is using it, pvp is a spam fest, its almost impossible to kill someone because you cant focus for more than 2 or 3 seconds due to that placate or other auto-placates, same goes for the competitive engine proc, that thing should be nerfed to half, its the best engine in the game by far, too good for a single proc. pvp is a placate-speed spam fest... and almost nobody dies because of that

I’ve been away from STO pc PvP for a while (3-4 months) working on an Xbox toon. I went into arena last night to find that there are escort players capable of killing me in one shot again. The last time this happened it was because people were stacking those dyson consoles. I’m guessing a new exploit has been found. What is it?

borgresearcher

i guess the stupid nx trait ... devs have no idea what they are releasing these days ... how can you balance a game you dont even play

usskentucky

Just equipped the competitive impulse engine, instrantly transforming my light cruiser into an escort. Other players fly so fast my sci damage won’t even catch them. How can a ship use science to be faster than science itself? It doesn’t even make sense.

borgresearcher

yeah that engine needs a big nerf, as well as shield overload and nx trait... i dont get why the big sci nerf, we cant even do dmg right now, and then they throw a trait like that for escorts to vape in 0.1 second... as i said they have no idea of what the game feels when really playing it, they might now the coding but thats it

I’m afraid you are wrong Cold Napalm. My build should be strong enough to compete with anyone in this game. I’ve been PVPing for years and am no slouch. The speed problem is something that is broken because it means a player can’t take damage, same with infinite placates. I have no issue fighting against fast players or even players who use placates but when the abilities are stacked upon stacks of stacks so that the player is untouchable you have an exploit that needs to be fixed, same as the dyson consoles used to be able to kill players instantly with no way to resist. It’s one thing to say “nerf this and nerf that” when you are flying a crappy build and don’t know anything about the game. It’s another when your game’s best players say it, and I have heard Borg Researcher’s comments several times over the past year. And this is coming from someone who hates going up against his fleet because they’re among the few who still use team tactics when I pug.

How about you stop butting into threads and talking about things that are above your pay grade? Get back to shooting your hit point sacks and leave the PvP to the grown ups.

you are right, there is no way you can have 300 controlx and 300 drainx, and have space for tanking and damage, as a sci, i have no space, at arround 360partgens, i can only pull one of those to near 300, the point is, matches get boring, and its all because of that stupid doff, that makes someone tank 10 times more, a single TRIBBLE doff, same goes for the TRIBBLE competitive engines, who had the idea of making those, i mean, its best in slot, 2 times faster than the other hyper-impulse engines, its just stupid, dont even try to say all this TRIBBLE is ok coldnapalm, because it isnt, i have playing against evil grandpas even though im one, team coordination, debuff timings, its top tier pvp level, dont just come here and try to teach what everyone knows already, because you have no idea what a premade vs premade match is... it is disgusting, to the point where you cant target anyone or chase anyone pretty much, since they will placate and use one of the extra life console or traits, and get back to the fight like nothing happened, most times i just think " TRIBBLE this im warping out"

usskentucky

Dude called me a superscrub lol

usskentucky

My last two matches with you all have ended with everyone getting bored and warping out after 15-20 minutes.

borgresearcher

and the fact that the scoreboard is still broken doesnt help at all ...
