Hive Onslaught is still broken.

Dear Cryptic;
I am writing this as a formal complaint about an STF called "Hive Onslaught (Elite)", Me and many other players believe that the overall STF needs a complete overhaul in how it spans out though out the mission.
The first part of the mission is fine, it's just the part where we have to fight the lance weapons is when things go from fun to absolute brokenness in an instant.
This part does not work at all for these reasons:
-the lance weapons fire these slow moving plasma blots which can do 100000 damage insta-killing anything it hits.
-The cannons fire regardless of whenever you manage to get within 5km of the guns in time before they fully charge.
And if we somehow manage to get pass that part, the Hive Queen does way too much damage for her own good.
If this STF is to work there are going to have to be some changes;
-Get rid of the slow plasma bolt of death altogether OR re-do it so that it doesn't do 100000 damage but instead make it 8000 damage with and ability to put all powers on cooldown for 15seconds.
-fix the Lance weapons so that they have a reasonably small firing arc and ether cancels it's charge up if there are no players in their arc or to pick a different target if the is one.
-Lower the Hive Queen's damage output and crit' chance enough so that she can be a challenge but not able to take out everyone with ease.
I hope you'll read this and fix the STF as soon as possible.
With hopeful confidence, MarcThe000001
P.S: I wrote this complain in the forums so that people who have had the same problem can also address this too.

Oops ... wrong genre.

They put that in on purpose because people could use carriers and stay between 10km and 15 km to not die and let the pets do all the killing just to get the optional.
The beams should not be going farther than 15km. If they are, take a screen shot or a video and post it.
The game has a sort of bug when it comes to timing. As an example, in Crystalline Catastrophe, if you were within 10km when the blast started you will still die (or take serious damage) even if you fly 20km away before the blast actually hits you. So for HSE, if you're in range of the unimatrix's beam when it starts to fire, you'll get hit even if you move next to the queen or greater than 15km away before it finishes firing.
No, no, I know perfectly well about the timing bug, but I don't consider that a bug. If it starts charging before you're out of range, you deserve to die. I'm talking about hanging out that distance away while waiting for some team members to respawn (such as when wanting to ensure getting the optional against the unimatrixes, so you wait for some team members to respawn). I don't have a screenshot of it, but two nights ago, I was waiting for some team members to respawn and I was 17km away from the unimatrix. It charged and lanced me from that distance.
I'm fine with the lances preventing you from pet spamming them, but I'm not fine with getting lanced out of range (I wasn't in range before they charged). I don't use a carrier, so I don't do the pet spam thing in the first place.
Next time it happens, I'll remember to take a screenshot.
yeah please do
While that's true, not every team can produce that much dps.
I have to admit that it is a bit hypocritical that I argued against the Crystalline Event being broken with the mirror ship spawns because my premades shrugged off the mirror ships, but I argue that HOE is broken because my groups sometimes encounter issues with bugged lances.
They make a wondrous mess of things. Brave amateurs, they do their part.
After that, the queen just melted under 2 Thalaron pulses and one tac buffed Lance of my own. :cool:
No such luck on ground yet. I'm stuck on phase 2 when there's elite tac dudes when the Queen joins the party just as my buffs are all on cooldown.
"Last Engage! Magical Girl Origami-san" is in print! Now with three times more rainbows.
Support the "Armored Unicorn" vehicle initiative today!
Thanks for Harajuku. Now let's get a real "Magical Girl" costume!
Well might few ways to over come first deploy fighter keep own starship far away let the ways keep coming. Simple put just keep the waves coming entile destroy. They can not hit the ship out range. As for cloak though one time fire while cloak advance enough sadly it able pick cloak ship fire distance while cloak might still provide protect need.
Praetor of the -RTS- Romulan Tal Shiar fleet!
As you can see in the above screen, I'm still getting lanced next to the queen.
:rolleyes:
Thats you own fault. Now you know how the borgs feel. Lossing their queen 50 times a day getting attacked just because they come for a visit. All those poor little npc drones and its guys like you that keep killing them even if they are just chilling maybe timetravel a bit harmless stuff like that. Be ashamed all you bad bad borg hunters. The lance is just there to let thr player feel what all the npcs feel being killed without any fighting chance . All they get from you guys is a hard space bar spam. Shame on you.
