It seems now that only the side that WINS the Hostile Takover scenario recieves credit toward completing the mission. While this is not necessairly a bad thing, I feel compelld to point out that for the most part players have very little control over who they get into a battle with on their side. It seems a bit unfair to have to go through the entire fight with a bunch of idiots who cant work together to win and come out with nothing to show for it. Some might say that we can team up before queing for the mission, however, every time I have attempted to do so it takes over 30 min. to get into a battle and it always drops at least one, usually two of the team members.This creates the likelyhood that a lot of players wont be able to complete the mission each day which makes it a bit pointless to even try.
The same situation applies to any type of death penalty that might be in the works. Until we have more control over who our team members are in pvp, it amounts to being penalized for having to count on random players who may or may not have the wherewithall to work together to win. This should not be implemented untill players have more control over who they go into battle with and against.
I personally think Cryptic has done an outstanding job of trying to meet the majority requests for content and changes and such. Unfortunately, soooo many complain about soooo much that at the end of they day, someone in charge needs to decide that you just cant please everyone and the impatient are just going to have to wait while Cryptic takes the necessary time to properly develop and test updates rather than giving in to the percieved high pressure push to get as much out as rapidly as possible in the effort to satisfy all.
