Beacon of Kahless creates massive lag

slifox

I've initiated the Beacon on several instances on several FTOs. The arrival of the Discovery Klingons creates massive lag. Multiple people activating the Beacon severely breaks the game.

The beacon should be DISABLED until fixed. Half of STFs are ruined by it and some players made a bad habit of intentionally doing it.

Thanks for the info. I don't do Twitter. So we are recommended to not use the Beacon and not claim T6 Reps...hope the next patch will resolve this.

Actually, I thought I have read on the Forums that the T6 Rep thing got resolved on the last patch.

I am not sure what they are doing about the Beacon, though.

I think they should change the Beacon to allow the player who activates it to become targetable by everyone but unable to shoot back....as I understand that their death gets rid of the horrible lagging.

General:

Fixed an issue that could cause performance degradation when using the Kahless Beacon.

Known problems:

The Type 7 shuttle can not be claimed again.

And this is why getting the patch notes would be a nice thing. Since people who visit the forums, twitter, ect are refraining from using it because they think it breaks the game.

*waits for thread to get locked because criticizing STO's lack of communication with the player base is apparently against the ToS now*

I don't know where else to post something like this so it can get out to everyone that it should be fixed, now.
