Either need a nerf or something its kind of annoying that in away missions even if thier the ony one left they bascially attempt to TRIBBLE the player and almost completely ignores your away mission team. and usually its a one or 2 hit kill when they use thier melee weapon... only tip I can give to any new players use your away team as sacrificial lambs get behind him and use a special attack.. but I hate having to do that.. lol
One or Two hit kill? Eh?... Can't say that has every happened to me, if anything I think it's a bit too easy, you can be attacked by a sword master and a warrior or two and still be alright (tricorder, hypo-spray, knockback...).
see I consider swtiching weapons going to one when your cool down isnt up an exploit and refuse to use it.. its a game mechanic I know just how I feel
You think switching weapons is an exploit? Are you for real? Nah, you HAVE to be a troll and a pretty darn good one to bait so many people.
Either that, or you are doing it WAY wrong. You do not use the weapon switching to use special attacks more often. You use an expose weapon on your main hand, use it normally, use the special attack as often. And as soon as an enemy is exposed, THEN you switch to your off-hand weapon (which is an exploit weapon, and ready to fire because you do not use it often) and bash the enemy for some major damage. Gosh, no wonder you are having such a hard time if you are using the weapons that way. I'll have to agree with the posters on the 1st page. You do need to learn how to play.
Look, he was confused and didn't understand how the game works. Now he knows, and will profit from it. We don't need to beat him with the "learn to play, noob" stick since he as admitted he didn't know how to play. Lets just move on.
You have been trying to nerf just about everything since you started playing in OB, I remember you, thats how much you complain. If you spent more time practising instead of calling for nerfs you might find everythings alright as it is...

no switching weapon so u dont have a cool down is aka you use your special attack and then switch to a different weapon use its special attack which of course is ready. sorry I feel that an exploit of the game mechanics defeats the purpose of cool downs. You shouldnt be able to use your special switch weapon and use its special dont like it sorry.

Dude, that is your problem, not a problem with the game. Blaming that the game is too hard because you do not want to use the tools available is ludicrous.
It's like playing a tennis match without a racket because you feel it's "wrong" and then complaining to the referee that you lost because you were at a disadvantage... Get real man, no one is going to take you seriously this way.

huh? that made no sense... since you play the game wtih the racket and its part of the game... switching between weapons to break the cool down is an exploit. its more like this you got the tennis racket... you hit the ball another one is coming the racket is in motion in the other direction but in your other you have a baseball bat and decide to bring it up and hit it. Same as with this 'feature" you are using it to break the cool down whats the point of the cool down if you can go around it. Sorry that you like to cheat I dont. Main reason big nerfs happen.

No one is breaking a cooldown on a weapon, the weapons have separate cooldowns. If I use my exploit weapon, switch to my expose weapon, and switch back, I still have the cooldown there. What exploit are you talking about?
Are you thinking that the 2 weapons should have a shared cooldown? why? they are separate weapons. There is nothing wrong with firing the special on one weapon, switching to the other, and firing its special. Separate weapons, separate cooldowns. Where is the cheating part?

Its not point in breaking cooldown its in using different attack!
wtf? why couldnt someone carry phazor pistol and rifle and switch around them in combat!?
Go play Counter Strike, they can switch from AK-47 to Pistol if they ran out of bullets ... gogo report that to Valve as exploit ...
And i got non-expirable infraction because of this idjot :mad: yeye hurry go report this too :rolleyes: ... frikin nubtard

umm casue its a game and should have rules not ways for people to explot it. You all want it to be harder then maybe u shouldnt exploit.

Wow, you aren't really this dumb are you?
It's not an exploit. You aren't breaking cool downs. If you switch back it will still be on cool down.
It's a tactic you're suppose to use. They give you 2 weapon slots for that very reason
Too often I get into a situation that should really be unwinnable, and end up wiping the floor with them. Perhaps shields need a massive reduction in recharge rate.
The trick with any high hp mob is managing your expose/exploits well. Perhaps being a science officer I also have a few more tools available to manage those guys.

Who is exploiting what? I have no idea what you are getting at. Really, I do not.
Ok, to make it simple for you, then only use one weapon. An exploit weapon, and give all your BOs an expose weapon. And only use your special when the enemy is in expose. Do not use it at any other times. That is more than enough to beat any enemy in ground combat.
But I still do not get what you mean about exploiting weapons switching when each weapon still keeps its own cooldown.

ur exploting by breaking the cool down timer. By switching out weapons your going around having to wait to use a weapons special attack that is consdiered an exploit. And they will nerf it eventually when they see everyone using it but enoguh of this am in game playing lol so enjoy the forum .

What??? Man, you lost me. You really did. Anyway, yeah, go enjoy the game, I will too as soon as I get out of work. No nerfing on ground combat though. It's fine as it is.
1. Call for nerf.
2. Learn that you haven't figured out basics.
3. Make up delusional reason not to use the basics.
4. ???
5. Profit.
just to remind ya I only called on nerf on one npc the rest are a bit easy b
1. Call for nerf of sword master and officers (but only sword master now officer was just a one time fluke )
2. Doesnt use exploits casue he doesnt cheat to win
3.??
4. Profit (and keeps values something alot of people on this thread lack)

You are wrong in this respect. The cooldown IS NOT global. The cooldown for the special attack is specific TO that weapon. That's why you could still used two special attacks if you switch, but it does NOT change the cooldown time for both.
IF the devs thought it was wrong, they would had INITIATED A GLOBAL COOLDOWN on the special attacks.

which will probobly come since everyone thinks its so "easy"
Sounds like you should avoid it after it improves too... you're gonna get your tribbles handed to ya by imagining that game mechanics are exploits. Perhaps you'll be reporting people for swapping weapons in combat...
Now see there, it aint so hard to have two weapons, a melee and a gun, a gun and a gun. Take a pistol and a rifle. The pistol have a hip holster and the rifle can be holstered on your shoulder. See there, it's not so bad to switch between them and have fun in a believable way :rolleyes: Remember the these weapon special attacks ARE NOT YOUR OWN but the weapon's own. Switch to the second gun while the gun's "recharging" or "remodulating" or whatever to build up for another special attack.
Let me get this straight?!
You want devs to nerf valid tactic, because YOU think its exploit.
Just to ask them again to nerf NPCs because YOU cannot beat them without that valid tactic which you consider exploit.
You know in space combat, you can shoot your front or broadside phazers at enemy and than turn your TRIBBLE to them and voley torpedo at them!!
I say exploit too!! GoGetem!! Ships should only be able to move in one direction!! Forward!! and if you want to turn around there should be an global cooldown on everything!!

umm its not a valid tactic. It defeats the purpose of a cool down by allowing a player to use two devestating in seconds of each other.

So? They're not innate to you as player abilities, but to the weapons themselves. The developers obviously intended the players to make use of BOTH weapon slots or they would had included a GLOBAL cooldown for the weapons' special attacks as I said earlier.

Yeah, sorry about that. We might be dealing with mental damage here.
It is specifically intended, by the Cryptic developers, that you switch weapons to use multiple cool downs on their special attacks.
Calling playing the game in a way the developers intended IS kind of...crazy.
Light does not escape this man. However, this game play mechanic does.
