Dear Cryptic, can I have my 4500 omega marks and 81000 dilithium back?

Omega ground set does not work: the shield procs an expose on the wearer, not on the damage owner.

KHG/Adapted ground set does not work: the crit chance and severity of the 3set do not apply to yourself, and none of the buffs apply to your teammates.

MACO ground set does not work: the damage resistance does not apply to yourself or your teammates.

Can I have the omega marks and dilithium that I spent on these non-functioning items back? Or do you ever intend to fix these, for your customers that have spent their time and resources getting nine end game items that don't even work?

If you have any of these set pieces, please post here and inform Cryptic that you want to get what you paid for. Maybe if enough of us show that we really do want to get the items that we have paid for, rather than a bunch of non-functioning garbage, we will actually get some results.

    I have both mk 11 and mk 12 omega and maco on several tunes.

    I demand you either fix it, refund the costs, or at the very lest give an explanation for your breaking the system again.

    this is one of those moments where i equate this to puking in my mouth and swallowing my own puke..
    I have 3x maco 12mk and at least 5x adapted maco/khg sets on 5 diff characters and 1 or 2 characters have also have the completed omega set...

    I'm almost surprised by the cryptic's lack of workmanship and pride in sto but this really just makes me disappointed as a life time subscriber

    I bought them for the looks anyway...

    (semi-serious, I'd honestly never paid enough attention to notice they're broken)

    They're too busy working on the next set of broken and soon to be nerfed items to care about anything said here. gg

    to me cryptic are faster at breaking things then fixing them at a much slower rate or not at all , they add new stuff not thinking of fixing things before the new stuff can break things even more

    If a in-game item breaks and the development team doesn't care... is it really broken?

    Thanks for the heads up, now I won't have to waste time grinding for garbage.
    If something is not broken, don't fix it, if it is broken, don't leave it broken.

    Please don't take this the wrong way but can you show me some proof to these claims ?
    (I'm not saying you're 'wrong' , I'd just like to see some evidence)

    I'm also asking because I for example use the (pre S.7) Omega set on 2 toons , and I have not been 'exposing' myself (via shield proc) as far as I know .
    (could be that I missed it for all I know , but I recall being exposed only 1-2 times in the last few months by NPC's)

    You might be better off reporting the item(s) as broken via the in-game report but interface; if the QA team that gets the requests sees enough complaints for the same items then they may actually do something about it.

    Ground doesn't make any $. Do not have high hopes. There is some stuff that does not work/is broken since launch.

    I haven't noticed these issues with the Omega or MACO sets, but I think I have with the Adapted set. I'll be sure to check them out.

    I've noticed this about the maco set, didn't realise till now that it was the proc exposing me and not the enemy and now I think about it the enemy hasn't been exposed by the set.

    How many devs does it take to change a lightbulb?

    None, working as intended.

    Dear Guriphu,

    I'm sorry to hear that, but can't give refunds

    In the other hand, yes, we intend to fix them, just wait in line

    Even if they are not working completely as they should they are still the best Gear sets for Borg Ground STF missions. If they are indeed not working correctly I hope they are fixed but I doubt they will be fixed anytime soon if they are indeed not working correctly.

    How and why are you sure that the enemy didn't expose you with their weapons?

    It does happen you know.

    Are you also aware that ground armor like ship armor has diminshing returns and is affected by your combat armor skill? If you've not skilled some points into it, you probably won't see the (tiny 2.5%) boost that it gives you.

    Please can you post evidence to back up this hypothesis?

    yeah, also the Romulan BOFFs do not apply their crit buffs on my B'Rel

    the (Borg) weapons are still the best ones ingame (apart from the very rares 2xAcc 1xCtrh)

    ...there are many issues with powers, almost crying for a redesign..

    The visuals for all 3 ground sets are bugged in various ways too...

    We got a 2500 views thread up in the bug forum going on over 2 months now.

    I'm pretty sure the set expose broke during a patch, it never used to do this, being exposed by the npcs was quite rare, but lately I've noticed it happen a lot, several times in a battle.

    I doubt they fixed the ground AI at all to make them expose, luckily they are still too dumb to exploit the bugged exposes.
