Voth Overpowered?

I noticed that the Voth in The Breach (Elite) were vastly more powerful and were landing far too many critical hits, far more than was previously experienced. Were the elite mission enemies given power boosts or something when Season 9 was released?

Defending The Galaxy By Breaking One Starfleet Regulation After The Next.
There are very few T5 powers I like and a ton of T1-4s that I do.
Truth be known: my mates in the PUG weren't more successful.
Maybe change the Voth accordingly to the new trait system could be wise.

I am seeing the same problem in the Voth Contested space zone as well. I like to do this zone purely for fun, no queus, no waiting, just flying around doing endless space combat for hours on end, it was perfectly fine yesterday, still very challenging, but manageable, and fun, after this mornings patch (4/23/14 patch) it has become completely impossible to assault a tower group without at least 2 or 3 people. Everything about the Voth has been completely ridiculously buffed, their fire goes through my shields like they don't exist, get caught in a few of their grav well spams, and my hull, on a ship running near 60% resistances to all damage and very high hull health, goes from max to zero in about 5 seconds.
This isn't buffed, this is broken.
playing a game should be fun.
dying 25 times to kill a turret isn't fun its rather boring after the first 10 or so. repeat? laugh umm no why.
Karma, it's a b*tch! :P
This is stupid since you can have almost ALL your space traits activated, as we said millions of times. Yes you will not have all your reputation traits, but the difference between now and before is not so high, in fact, now its probably that with all your space traits activated, you should have even more resources to kill everything.
I love it. It's nice to a a slight challenge now compared to before. Mashing spacebar should not get you through encounters.
^^ +1 for a refreshing honest attitude!
Being insta-killed at random by any voth ship isn't a challenge, it's a cop-out.
I heard about this and ran elite breach last night with a mate, and yes, the crits do feel a little out of hand in places.

That is because borg probes or bops are the weakest enemies of the game lol. Even with mkV equpment and the worst equipment of the game you will be able to kill groups of probes and bops at ease in just a few seconds. HELL, only using the point defense system i can kill em in about 4-5 seconds LOL.
The Voth from the battlezone are a completely different story.
No reason to bring on Mk XIII weapons though
BTW when the Voth ships use their immunity ability why does it say "immune" with every hit from my weapons but some other team members still hit hard.
No. Jem Hadar scouts are harder, Hirogen scouts are harder, and a lot more small enemy ships are far harder than the borg probes and the bops. I think its more a fail than anything else. And even if the Voth palisade frigates are weak, they still are stronger than most of the ships of that size out there.
Voth always had been stronger, they said it when the season was launched. They are far harder than any other , including the Undine.
But still, i can kill em with MKI non fleet / rep equipment with ease, so.
I have not forgot to set my traits and Voth heavy turrets were landing 75k hits on me. With fleet shields on a Mogh. The Voth battleships torps were one shotting me in torp spread even through brace for impact.
Something changed.. I do not think its the rep nerf that can account for that much of a damage difference. I used to be able to clear all the turrets in one uncloak with faw/a2b attack and now im instant killed coming out of cloak. Only way I was able to kill a heavy turret group was hit and run will all cool downs up and I still was getting one shot at times.
All five of us, the others being three Avengers and an Odyssey, got our heads handed to us repeatedly. There was even a TPK at one point. I have never seen that before. And this was a team gathered from an elite STF channel, not a true pug.
Voth ships definitely got sneak-buffed. After that I found it simpler to use the Dyson battlezone to fill my rep projects, and this is from a guy who, while I don't hate ground, I don't go out of my way to play it.

Or maybe they are upset due to no heads up that things were changed that much?
They need to give us the option to go all ground or all space...I mean they don't force us to do that with standard traits...reduce the number to 6 if they must...just sticking to 4 I don't like.
Good point. Regardless of whether we agree/disagree over the changes, we can definitely agree that they should have given everyone advanced notice.
Yes, they should have said something. It's another stealth thingy......
It also affects UNdine content by the way.
