Bug: Romulan Operative Boffs no longer working.

Toon: Non romulan Federation Vulcan science toon.
Bug: Romulan operative boffs no longer providing the CritH and CritD boosts to the toon.
When i loaded into the game to check out the new traits screen i noticed that for some reason the Romulan Operative trait was showing up on my toons trait list. Figured it was unusual.
I then unseated both of my Romulan tactical boffs with superior Operative trait and the Trait then removed itself from my tray. However i then slotted a alternate trait and reseated them the trait no longer appears to be working on my ship in any fashion.
I then Removed then unseated my romulans. Removed the extra trait so there was one slot spare. And then reseated them. The Trait then showed up as a character trait again (however not stacked as before)

I hope this is a work in progress to not allow stacking of operative traits be it basic normal or super. But if so they'd still need to ensure that the Romulan toon's operative trait does work independently of a boffs operative trait. That way they can still get their extra bonus for being a Romulan and be able to use a boff with the operative trait like everyone else. Otherwise there's no point in having a rom toon.
might we finally be seeing some parity coming to the factions? hopeful, but not optimistic.

Parity? Liar.
The thing the romulans had to show for the -40 power was the operatives. Take that away, and its -40 power.

Sorry i have to:
+40 powers, comm arrays, embassy romulan boffs, t4 diplomacy boff pirate, efficient saurian, soon flanking, soon sec. deflector, better warp core modifiers, better crusiers, better science ships, 3x more ships... and so on... :P
troll post?
Does Superior stack with non-Superior? With the Captain trait?
Furthermore it's beyond me why anyone would need such a giant modifier to crith/crith. PvE is already as easy as it can get. This change basically only affects PvP. Also, even after this possible nerf, Romulan ships would still be the best in the game.
they also have to remove leech from romulans for parity.
If this is a permanent change, it's going to anger a LOT of people. I honestly understand that the trait gives an unfair advantage to Romulan players, but what about all of the time and resources players have already spent to get them? Romulan players have spent tens of millions of EC in order to acquire these boffs (unless you run 20 Romulan toons, constantly searching for the recruitment mission, most players have and will buy them), and Fed and KDF officers have had to spend a fair amount of FCs and Dilithium (and before you say how easy it is to get those resources, try to understand that what is easy for YOU isn't easy for everyone).
If Cryptic is looking for the most diplomatic solution to this, please consider adding Eng and Sci Rom Op boffs to the Embassy. I really do think that completing PvE content in a millisecond because of these boffs is NOT necessary, but this is something that will drive some dedicated PvE players away, especially on top of the Reputation trait changes.
Edit: Try to understand that my concern doesn't come out of my wish to keep super-pwning PvE NPCs, it comes because so many have already left this game, many of my friends and others (as I keep seeing in posts throughout the forums). We don't need one more thing to drive away the people who have played this game for years.

Either way, if this is a nerf, give romulans warp cores.
can i haz your stuff?
where were you when the efficients and leaderships got the nerf? the years the pirates didnt work at all? was my years long investment in my kdf toons taken into consideration when the roided up roms were dropped on us in LoR? no, not at all. my toons were made obsolete so that cryptic could sell more TRIBBLE in the cstore.
but like i said earlier, i am hopeful but not optimistic. i think the chances are pretty good that this feature will be 'fixed' and you romulans can happily continue owning everything you encounter.

sigh one o fthe problems with all mmos is people dont really care care if its unfair they like it UNFAIR if it benefits them this is just another example not to mention they nerfed the fed doffs remember??? remember the leadership trait on humans ??? yeah same post were there then to "if they do this im quitting " sooooo let the standoff begin...first to blink loses
I honestly don't need to steamroll with my rom, I don't really care. What I DO care about is the hemorrhaging of friends and good players I have been seeing recently. Not even PESTF is as busy anymore, and many other PvE channels are becoming ghost towns. Maybe it's seasonal, but this time it really feels different. People are already upset about the reputation trait changes, and now this. As John said, you have game vets that have not only spent hours grinding for these officers and gear dedicated to certain builds, but also have spent as much time researching the ways these builds work at optimum level. I really do feel that this would be the proverbial nail in the coffin for many PvE vets.
And for the record, the KDF is my favorite faction, hands down. I love playing my KDF Gorn engineer and my Orion tac. I just think that simply making romulan engineer and science boffs available to KDF and Feds would be a better option at this time. There may not be 'I quit' threads all over, but people have been noticing fewer and fewer people in all areas of the game. Seasonal? Maybe...I hope so, I really do.

For the record, there are people like me who are not only romulans LOL, but also humans, klingon, nausicaan, trill with a bank account ( purchased from the c-store of course ), with a full set of toons working ... as a team.
Anyway, the mistake was in the beginning : they should have not put such powerful traits on romulans from the start ... and a worse mistake now would be to nerf those traits, after many guys ( judging from how well scimitars got sold and are being sold, I believe many ) have invested lots of EC, dilithium, whatever ... to buy those VERY EXPENSIVE romulan SRO boffs.
LOL, that would even go against your financial interests, Cryptic dudes !
Yes, you don't measure people leaving or quitting from the forum posts ... Most just quit without a word.
I'm against anything craptic nerfs or breaks, leadership and efficient should both be far more powerful than they are, and feds need a damage boosting boff trait like kdf finally have. The kdf one is also far to weak, should be more like 3 or 4%. If you pay attention i'm usually on here telling them exactly where they can shove it every time they nerf things.
Yes, Elena ... let's defend the Republic from our nerfing enemies !
Get rid of basic normal and super rom ops and just have them all be normal. Yes romulans would be reduced by 2% crit hit and 4.8% crit severity. But with the rep revamp you'd only loose 1% crit hit and crit severity would gain by 1.2%. You'd still end up doing more damage in S9 then S8 due to the other rep passives.
Have embassy sci and eng rom boffs with the operative trait. This bring Feds and Klinks closer to romulan's dps. However the Romulans would still have the advantage.
This is a good step is getting all 3 closer to each other. It in no way nerfs anyone. Everyone's damage is increased as a result and in no way makes 1 race extremely OP vs how Romulans are extremely OP curently.
Wait a minute ... Maybe it's not a bug : what if this is what they are aiming to for S9, by trying and tinkering with the crits on holodeck and tribble? Bringing a kind of balance between S9 rep power revamps and present SRO stats, without nerfing the last ones ?
that won't fix the bigger problem this trait is way too strong
So if they do.... I demand warp cores for romulans.
