loot or oatmeal

SystemSystem Member, NoReporting Posts: 178,019 Arc User
Im not sure what the game designer is going for with the current loot table. I feel like I can have plain oatmeal or plain oatmeal. Rare and epic loot seems like concentrated oatmeal.


I think the loot table was designed by cryptics accounting department. What do you think?


What i mean by oatmeal is there are only a handful of different weapons procs in space Phasors, plasma, polaron, tacyon, transphasic, cron, tricobalt.

There are no procs in space for deflectors, shields, or engines, or consoles.

The ships do not have procs

I love trying to exploit procs, stack them etc. STO doesn't really have any procs yet.

    Rare and Epic loot is far too common. More oatmeal for everyone.

    I'd rather have oatmeal then another battery.

    Dear cryptic, if you'd install larger alternators on our starships then we wouldn't be going thru so many batteries. Then we could spend the credits on fun stuff, like beer and oatmeal.

    That or stop requiring me to replace a stash of five batteries after every combat. Let me stack them up to 99..

    The weapons batteries are okay. I never use the rest of them.

    The batteries are great the 4min cooldown and short 5 stack isn't.

    I can live with the 5-minute cooldown. Sure I'd like a smaller one (2.5 minutes), but in the end I find myself using them when I need them, which is when they should be used. Unfortunately, I'm not using them fast enough. Also, the Type-8 shuttle needs to not take a device slot.

    Agree. The cooldown is okay. I only use them when I have a tough fight, but the short stacks are ludicrous.

    Sadly, the "epic" loot in this game is going to be the same on everyone soon. You farm dailies and buy from a certain vendor a limited range of loot.

    Eventually, we'll all have purple tricobalts and antiprotons etc.

    Maybe we need the purples so we can live through radisodes to farm ultra-purples!

    I like raisins and spice oatmeal. But it's hard to find around here. Looking for rare oatmeal sometimes doesn't pay off. I end up with finding cinnamon and spice. I wasn't looking for that flavor, it just have the same words as the ones I was looking for.

    Which is annoying.

    Complaint: Epic loot is too hard to get.

    Solution: Put in more epic loot and make it vendor buyable.

    Complaint: Epic loot isn't all that epic.

    Solution: Make it more epic.

    Complaint: Epic loot is too easy to get.

    Solution: Make it rarer.

    Complaint. Epic loot is too powerful not that everyone can't gear up with it easily.

    Solution: Nerf it.

    Complaint: Epic loot is too hard to get...


    Seriously. Everyone shut up about oatmeal. It's annoying.

    Whats the point the "epic" antiproton are not really supieror to the "green" polaron +20 crit severity only effects when i crit which is only like +2% that is on the weapon because the weapons crits do not stack. .1 accruacy only reduces my miss rate which is already very low so 1 or 2 percent more overall damage? seriously i can gain that in many other ways. My "green" polaron weapons actually do something interesting drain the opponets power. Why would i trade power drain for.1 accuracy and +20 crit severity?

    Only if it's non-oatmeal flavor. But I want it to taste like oatmeal. Devs, get on this. No oatmeal taste in my oatmeal, while making sure it still tastes just like oatmeal.

    The problem in this game is that there are way too many batteries. On the other hand, the way I see it, I must be doing some serious damage to the enemy ships if the only thing that survives my attacks is a shield battery.

    Could a mod chime in here and let me know if we can put a temporary hold on the profanity rules?

    If I say please?

    It's not really anger. Just a building need to tell everyone how ****ing stupid they are.


    I think the forum rules need an honesty-is-an-absolute-defense clause.

    I can't remember the last time I used a battery. Maybe at Lt. Commander. Every fight now is just pop a few buffs, spam the spacebar and its over in like 30 seconds. My power never goes down- ever. Every now and then i lose a shield on one side when im being lazy but then I just turn to face my target from a different side and it regens in a few seconds.
