Hey,
So, I have been playiing the ISE Elite and usually the groups I can play with can clean up the map in 5 minutes. I noticed recently I was being blown up and last night me and another player was hit with the following. In 6 seconds our shields and hull was 100% then it went to 0% no matter how far we was from the Cube.
Tactical Cube deals 1972 (2713) Plasma Damage to Dllen Ashby with Plasma Torpedo - Heavy III.
Tactical Cube deals 125227 (210171) Kinetic Damage to Dllen Ashby with Plasma Torpedo - Heavy III.
Tactical Cube's Plasma Torpedo - Heavy III gives 6273 (50830) to your Shields.
Tactical Cube deals 84543 (213696) Kinetic Damage to you with Plasma Torpedo - Heavy III.
Tactical Cube deals 1677 (2647) Plasma Damage to you with Plasma Torpedo - Heavy III.
At first I thought it was a bug, but playing again in the morning the Cubes was way harder. I then started watching the Cube status. It was using a lot less abilities but throwing a LOT more damage. I have the feeling Cryptic upped the AI.
Then in my mind.
I was TRIBBLE you Cryptic. You nerfed the reputation system then increase the difficulty of Elite dramatically. So, all the people complaining being blown up easily compared to before look at your combat log. I really think not only have Cryptic screwed Veterans but made it difficult for new level players to even compete with the content and veteran skilled players.
If I'm right, the Cube 423,867 kinetic damage one shot, 50830 damage to my shields, then 5360 plasma damage in less then 6 seconds.
I want my 8/8/4 reputation system. I can't imagine how much harder the borg Hive Elite is. I was fine after the initial hit from 100% to 10% but the second hit. Boom!!!

I don't know one player that can survive that much damage in the time frame of 6 seconds with this new reputation system.
A city to protect
innocents to save
"Why?" They ask "they hate you"
We're heroes it's what we do.
*patiently waiting on Paragon City*
You're not supposed to. You also couldn't survive it in the 'old' reputation system either.
Why Beam Fire at Will is so overpowered. Shoots down those things before they blow you up.

1. What is your Difficulty level on Options?
2. What was the skill level options of the other players?
3. Did you get hit with this combination yet?
All of the above are factors.
players have been boasting for a while that STF's can be done in a few minutes at most, naturally considering the recent 8472 stuff, i bet there will be something that will make ISE a bit harder. if people had not boasted, its possible the devs may not of picked up on it, but being stand up means if you were wrong you take the hit as you should.
this has been around for a while now, before it was invisible insta death torpedoes. best way to get around it is by sacrificing some of that out right damage for a defense turret to take down the heavy 3 plasma torp. i would rather see consistent damage rather then one massive burst, death, another massive burst then death again. best way to equalize the issue is by revisiting the balance. borg are inherently more powerful then most other races, thats the way they are, recent tech has made things easier but borg as always overcome these challenges by assimilating more people. one shot torpedoes has always been absurd and a fair few people over the years have stated how much they dont really like the system.
easy, if i knew im not getting anywhere, do what the borg do. adapt. losse some dps for an automated turret if its that bad.
Been around since Dec 2010 on STO and bought LTS in Apr 2013 for STO.
Actually I can using the older system. I had enougth redundant shielding system to get the hell out of there with the first hit fast.
Difficulty option doesn't affect queue missions. If you join an elite mode queue, it's automatically on elite.

It's still invisible insta death torpedoes. And what's more, they seem to be infinite range invisible insta death torpedoes.
On several occasions I've been taken down to about 20% hull, bailed out sharpish, made it to 15k+ range, healed up to a good 60% hull/100% shields, and then taken twenty thousand damage from literally nowhere. Nothing to shoot down, or use Brace For Impact before it hits. Just exploded.
There used to be a picture here, but they changed signatures and I can't be bothered to replace it.
reads like another one was fired at you before you got out of range and it was following.

The most recent run I ended up going from full hull and shields to 10% hull and STILL full shields. I pop all my heals and bail out of range with evasive and get blasted again. The heavy torpedoes they are firing are not visible and cannot be stopped.
So players are being gutted by near one-shots that cannot be avoided. That is extremely unfair and has been a consistent problem through the history of this game.
If Cryptic cannot fix this bug permanently then it is beyond time they removed mega torpedoes from the AI enemies entirely. Give them more beam weapons or shift their torpedoes away from the super strong plasma death balls to spam happy photons.

I love your vids.
Used to be once a match, or once every couple of matches, but if its more frequent something might have changed.
Sometimes you will go in and they are working fine. Then, you can go in and get hit with the invisi-torp, of the cubes will spam Heavy Plasma torps back to back. I had a cube fire 6 of them at me as fast as my hyper plasma torp cam fire 6 of them. And the ones from the cube were Heavy Plasma.
I have also had the cubes hit me with a tractor beam, then as soon as it is done, they hit me with another one. One cube held me with 3 tractor beams back to back.
Then, there is the tome that I was in the Conduit. I was outside 15km of the tac cube, and haven't even got near it yet. I got hit with an invisible torp from it that one-shot me. I respawned, tried to move back in, and it did it again before I could get to it. The other players on the team were telling me it wouldn't target them at all. I got it's agro, never fired a shot at it, and got killed as soon as I got within 15km of it. I had to fly around outside that range while the other 4 just kept hitting it.
I am hoping that with season 10 they can have the STFs working right. If not, it will mean that we will just be using more components. Lol.
This is not bad damage because it only cycles this way once every few minutes...never timed it
If
You have skills in kinitic damage resistance
If you know how and when to use brace for impact
If you know how to use the TT/eps/hz emmiters combo
If you know what and when and how to use RSP
If you know how to manage your ships power levels
and if your in a Cruiser but you dont have to be you can tnk this damage
I do it in many differnt ship types every day Escort and cruiser
This is the way it should be......................
Saphire.. Science ground......Ko'el Romulan space Tac
Leva........Tactical ground.....Koj Romulan space Eng
JJ-Verse will never be Canon or considered Lore...It will always be JJ-Verse
so this is working as intended
We are talking about *Elite* STFs.
everyone doing elite like its normal.
i personally have taken a team and did cure space in about 2 minutes..
we all went separate ways and blew up all 3 cubes at once. it was silly.
ships are getting more powerful but the missions stay the same.
[12:44] Vessel One of Two Unimatrix 01 deals 1019527 (1157678) Kinetic Damage to you with Plasma Energy Bolt Explosion.
What's your point?
