S8........everythings easy

so to start off i never had a problem with the rep system up to S8. I can only speak for myself when saying even before S8 the rep system for me was a very easy grind. rom rep being a little harder due to low payouts in stf's. Now this new rep is over the top easy. link this with the new voth space eSTF and its almost like this game is being geared for kids. Now when cryptic fixed Hive Onslaught it was a great mission, very hard but with a good team you can beat it. i was hoping for something as hard of an stf to come out in S8 but it doesn't look like that is going to happen. i don't know if anyone feels the same way i do right now but it seems that the difficulty of the game has been turn down so low i don't even get a challenge out of this game anymore.
just my 2 cents, not here to start a flame just wanted to give my feedback and see if anyone else feels the same way.

Here, it's just tedious and frustrating. I've completed both STFs, it's just an endless wave of easy mobs, the bosses are unimaginative and overly easy (not even dangerous at all), on the ground, my boffs do all the job, i could sit and let them do the kills. Awesome.
I died once and that's only because i couldn't find my way out of the city ship. I've succeeded everywhere on the first attempt. That's not really my idea of fun, and i will certainly not repeat this TRIBBLE every day, that's way too frustrating.
If only the sphere zone was a pvevp one (a race between teams) with challenging NPCs it could have been awesome, but instead it just sucks TRIBBLE.
Serious question, not trying to be a jerk, but is this an Cryptic definition thing, or is this a bunch of players got together and came up with these definitions?
The dinos with laser on their heads didn't give it away for you? Just wait until you can make Voth toons ... and then all the 7-13 year olds, which seemingly are the target demographic, start playing "dress up dino".

And you know this game isn't for 13 year olds, otherwise when STO first came out it would be E for everyone, not M for Mature.
I feel for you if you really believe that the words mature and STO belong in the same sentence together. *pats on the head*

Probably only because of a Klingon blowing himself up, the Orion Slave Girl concept, and people drinking alcohol. Otherwise it would not come anywhere CLOSE to an M rating.
Not putting down the rep at all. It is the best part of season 8 ... no joke. But the content is boring as hell and does take too long. They should speed up the action and introduce some timers for the queued missions. Might make for a more interesting "elite" mission.

BTW anyone who doesnt think fighting lazor shooting Dinos is a blast and a barrel of laughs is way too mature for their own good.
Anyone want to give me a Temporal Heavy Dreadnought pack? I'll be your friend
STFs are the official Cryptic definition for the missions vegeta listed. Players just mistakenly call all the other missions in the queue as STFs.

what was challenging about the new voth stf? other then getting my fat carrier around it, i didn't see anything that was challenging. As for the voth reflective shields i didn't see much of a challenge with them at all.
hey im all for cryptic making new ways of challenging players without the need for dps but i didn't see any of that in the new one. just another pointless mission that was way to easy for its own good.

The new content is way too easy.
As for ground, we're in dire need of "instance" chat channels and perhaps a counter to show how many people are in each subsection, but otherwise It's fairly enjoyable(hard to call it a 'grind', really). I'm not sure if some of the minibosses should be quite as soloable as they are, but I have managed to get myself killed a few times from multiple mechs focusing me down. If you're finding it too easy, I'd highly recommend breaking away from the crowd and taking some stuff for/by yourself. Attempting to solo the hold objectives can get quite frantic.
Also, in my opinion, New Romulus rep was the easiest/most rewarding(aside from dilithium)/most enjoyable rep prior to season 8. Not sure why anyone would claim it was the hardest unless they were only trying to advance it via queues. (The Tau Dewa Patrols offer as many marks as an elite STF and provide a cornucopia of enemy variety and scale with the size of your group. You can even fight exotic enemies like nausicaan dreadnoughts with enough people.)
My hunting room walls are about to be covered in Dinosaur heads!! (just need to remember to remove the frickin lasers first...)
:cool:
Great kid, don't get penisy!
