CSE seems to be 3 times harder now.

The Borg Warship seems to shoot you down in one shot.

There is no reason for that.

We do not need the BORG Elite to be 3 times harder then what they all ready are.

There attacks seem to be way over powering now.

Yesterday i died like 6 times out of no where for no reason i rarely die may be 2 times in a Elite stf.

Elite STF's really need to be dimed down or looked at.

And on top of this issues we have been getting TRIBBLE items.

In STF's as of late.I have done plenty of ground battles mixing it with space and hell i can't even get any Prototype Gear for my MKXII ground items i havent goten one yet.

    Run CSE now several times and it is still a cakewalk like ever (premade)

    If you refer to the Negh'Var isometric charge we even use lots of pet spam and survive those attack.
    Without a real scratch.

    Adjust you strategy to combat the Negh'Vars get yourself advice from experienced players or just respec your toon to make your ship less squishy.

    One wonder defence fighting agains Isometric Charge is just stay away from other friendly targetable objects then the charge does not bounce and oneshot you.

    But please do not call out for nerfs of things that are already just a limited challenge or none at all :(

    So to speak i wish you good luck and you can do it as we can.
    have fun and good loot m8.

    I agree and I've experienced this.

    You're shooting something, all is well, no one shooting at you. Then from no where you explode/die.

    You don't even have time to reacted.

    Happens on ground and in space from what I can tell.

    I agree elite stf seems to be harder. It's still 1 pathetic grind fest to get your MKXII, and you're not even guaranteed to get it after your grind fest.

    STF loot drops are on my top 10 all time ^&% ups in the game.

    I have been playing this game for over a year now i no how to do it.

    I do not need people to tell me this and that.

    I have been doing the same items and skills.

    And they have all ways worked.

    CSE is nerfed sorry to say and it does not need to be that way.

    I get one shotted their a lot too, so do others in my fleet, but we can still win and almost always get the optional unless the Borg get really lucky and manage to to take out multiple people at the same time with that 1 shot weapon.

    That said I'd prefer if NPC's were not able to 1 shot players, but I think their sustained DPS would have to be made higher so they would still be a challenge, and it might make healers needed more if people were getting DPSed to death over a few seconds instead of insta-killed.

    I use a friendly tone try to be of help to you and your reply is a passive aggresive attack.
    neither did i wrote you suck or should learn to play.

    I stated CSE is still a no issue if you adjust.

    And your reply does just strengthen my statment.
    You say they always did work but the Borg have changed they use new powers and with that new challenges.

    So just go ahead and do also adjust if you former tactic does not work anymore or continue to run against a wall.

    And still neither am i telling you how to play or you should learn to play.
    I just do tell you we (premade) did adjust and it is still easy pie.

    life long and prosper

    i think CSE has become much more difficult than it use to be. i use to like CSE back when i had weak ships because it was fairly easy to win and i got good loot. i won CSE back then more than any other STF. now i win CSE the least.

    now i have really tough ships and i know a lot more about the game and rarely win CSE. granted much of it is due to the luck of the draw in PUGs, but i think it is overall much more difficult.

    i did play the other night with 4 Klingons, not familiar with their ship types, but these guys rocked. i did as usual and focused on protecting kang while the klingons easily took out cubes and helped me make sure kang was protected.

    i get lucky and get a group like that 1 out of 10 times.

    the drops have been horrible. i have not seen any prototype in days or is it weeks now?? however, ISE has been very generous with prototype borg tech. i have maco 12 shields on all of my ships now. but i need some prototype....

    CSE is difficult only when you get stuck with a useless group of people. Having said that, I've been in situations where a random team has done really well.

    And I've been in situations where a random team has totally blown CSN.

    Maybe the borg have adapted and thats why it seems more difficult.

    Ever since season 6 came out, if I stay and protect the kang he lives but we don't drop the cubes in time to get the optional - if I go attack a cube, and just take out the ships that spawn at my cube, then the other guys let the kang go boom.

    I think it's just that the more experienced STF players are grinding out fleet marks at the moment and the Pug's aren't what they use to be.

    I found that my personal role in a tac cruiser went to even more a supportive role as opposed to normal which is a shoot-fest which 3 good captains can complete and I need to survive for the team to succeed. I try to maintain 7-10km so I can bugout as needed and throw as many heals as I can at the escorts doing high burst damage because if the escorts die, the mission can rapidly become a nightmare when time is running out.

    I do agree the one shot kill I have noticed and experienced too since S6. It's annoying and just ruins the fun of the game.

    Pugs do not know how to play CSE, however I have no issues pugging ISE or KASE.
    Anyone who clearly says CSE is easy needs to try pugging. People go right first, or three fail to defend the Kang.



    And what is up with the drops?

    Nah m8, passive aggressive is when you're pretending to be friendly when really you aren't.

    Telling someone to learn to play the game when they post a problem is purely passive agressive. You aren't being helpful or constructive yet you're appearing to give 'sound' advice...

    Example: My girlfriend takes my car into a garage because it pulls to the left. she tells the mechanic the problem and the mechanic tells her to learn to drive better.

    Most would consider this mechanic rude... I think the same goes for your reply.

    Pleased to see others are experiences the same.

    Just for the record I've played since beta and done 1000s of STF runs. never seen this type of insta death before.
    I don't believe it's a ship weapon because i've experienced it on the ground.

    I'm not why everyone is getting on the OP's back, but the fact is, the Isometric Charge adds a new dynamic to this STF now. Yes, they apparently nerfed it a tad bit, but that mission was hard enough as it was without being one-shotted.

    Yeah well, you can't always "adapt and adjust" when you're simply just dead.

    I've found that CSE is only more difficult in PUG groups, but otherwise unchanged. It is as if suddenly a lot of folks are pugging CSE that simply don't have the DPS or survivability to be pulling their weight. It's cyclical though, was like this in May too, and tends to rebound a few weeeks later as the cycle completes to repeat.

    Cure Space Elite and Cure Ground Elite are the only 2 STF's that no longer queue for. PUGs will fail 9 times out of 10...
