B'Tran 0 for 8

edited December 2013 in Duty Officer System and R&D
I am 0 for 8 on the support mission for B'tran for my Frommie Engineer. I have 3 other toons running A2B builds and it took each of them 9/10 times to crit 3 times for the Very Rare Techs -- guess I was lucky. I think is Cryptic is trying to keep me from building another A2B build :mad:

    0/6 for me. Got a tech 3 months back. Trying to get my third for my messed up Plesh Brek build...

    Might have to spring for it

    Is that some kind of new formula for making the colonization effort chains random at length? Since when? I created a new char when the Q's exp bonus was on and after that I completed all chains and they were still at 0 to 7.

    I swear the cooldwon for this thing is like 4 days... I ran it last Thursday night, collected a stupid common doff, and the mission is STILl not available Monday Morning... WTH!

    I'm 1/7 so far...

    Glad ya'll have been even completing the damn chain. I'm still looking for the 5th mission in the chain in the first place.

    RNG must hate you. Wonder what you did to TRIBBLE off the RNG gods. I just ran B'Tran Expansion on my KDF Tac Officer and got me another Two of Twelve Technician. I was running with a 32% crit rate as well.

    I have also noticed an astounding failure rate on this particular mission on 3 different toons. My 4th hasn't hit renown yet, but from all I've seen I have no doubt it will be months before I see a technician doff.

    I can't even get to the RNG point of this... I'm going on 5 days worth of cooldown apparently, and still no "Support" assignment!

    That is another problem I have also noticed. Apparently you have to wait a week or two before it ever comes back.

    Some are not so random. Some depend on if the server is having a bad day or not. I've slotted 20 missions and let them sit overnight before, and come back to have half of them fail, and not only that, but 1/4 of them CRIT fail with lost or injured crew. Edit: We're talking no chance of failure missions, we're talking matched purple and blue doff traits, we're talking no justfiable excuse for HALF of them failing in a row.

    I think, along with many issue of this game, it's not as cleanly coded as it ought to be and certain outside variables effect it in ways that they should not.

    Make sure to check Doffjobs and make sure check your Operational Officer. I probably run Support 4-5 times a week.

    I do! It irritates me because the last time I rand this assignment was last Thursday night... I've checked every night since for the project, stopping by the B'Tran Cluster, same time each night, checking in Operations Boff, Personal, and Current Map assignments, and it finally appeared last night (Tuesday)!

    This assignment drives me nuts. I haven't had a chance to check yet what the result is... Will check in an hour...

    Grrrrrrrrrrr

    Edit: Earned a Success, but that just gave me a useless common Doff... I thought the regular success was supposed to award a blue rare doff? Stupid thing...

    nope, the renown gets you the Blue DOff (one time only, then never again).
    only a crit on a Support will get you the *special* Purple DOff (repeatable)
    a success will get you a Refugee if you are FED (can be used for Asylums and still get you good DOffs) ...on KDF side you only get worthless Prisoners.

    0/12 29% crit chance -- at what point is this bugged? :eek:

    It's not bugged. You need to assign better doffs to it and keep running it. I don't touch that one unless I can get all blues or better assigned, with heavy focus on the crit traits. Helps that I've been recruiting long enough to have a really good roster of civvie doffs.

    And yeah, it's luck-dependent. I'm sitting on 2/10 or something to that effect.

    With 29/30% crit he should have a rather decent Doff team on them already. IIRC you need 2 purple and 3 rares with 2 crit traits each to get to 30%.

    But I completely agree that it isn't bugged. For everyone that has 10 fails in a row, there is probably someone out there that critted all 10 of them. ;)

    I've still got one char that's over a year old, who is still missing Maela from DV, while most of my other ones haven gotten dozens by now.

    Just to chime in: 1/3 attempts critted yesterday, so it's possible to crit it (all were about 32-33% crits if I recall well).
    TOIVA, Toi Vaxx, Toia Vix, Toveg, T'vritha, To Vrax: Bring in the Allegiance class.
    Toi'Va, Ti'vath, Toivia, Ty'Vris, Tia Vex, Toi'Virth: Add Tier 6 KDF Carrier and Raider.
    Tae'Va, T'Vaya, To'Var, Tevra, T'Vira, To'Vrak: Give us Asylums for Romulans.

    Don't make ARC mandatory! Keep it optional only!

    Point. Just now I've managed to get 30% with three purples and a blue, with two crit traits on all but one purple. We'll see if I get my third technician for my aux2batt build.
