1) Can I get a refund on my Valdore?
2) Can I get a refund on my Valdore?
3) I never owned the torp, but I sympathise. Nerfed-Upgraded-Torp? That equates to status quo torp. This is just stupid.
4) Can we just stop pretending PvP ever existed in this game? (Make some REAL rewards for tournaments. Is it that difficult?)
5) Read 1-5.

C'Mon Dev's!
you can't be serious, right? you create this thread in the 1st place you even make it possible for the playerbase to voice their questions/concerns and THEN you don't even care to take just a few seconds to answer the simple questions the people might have?
Could you please explain what sense does it make if you don't reply?
there are numerous questions you haven't even thought of answering so far. you say you have community managers? is it so hard to make em reply to some of the questions people might have?
as for me i am very interested if you could explain what you mean by a 20 hr cooldown for pvp?
i am totally not sure if i understand it correctly! are you goin to take away the only reward that makes pvp viable atm? do you want to say that you force me and others to play your so highly praised PVE content to get my dilithium?
Honestly: can u say how often have you yorselves played your own content until you realized that it got boring? You seem not to understand that a lot of players find it boring to play the same PVE content over and over and that they prefer the dynamics of playing against another living beeing (so called humans).
PVP is already in a bad shape and now you take away what was probably the last thing that made it attractive. have i mentioned that any PVE content you have created in the past grants more dilithium than any availabe PVP content there is? you dont believe me?
well look at some of the players running an ISE in under 5 minutes? got more toons? rinse and repeat. every run you will get almost 1k in dilithium. compare to pvp? not even gonna talk about the dyson ruunners. just one out of many possible examples. well see u have two opposing teams that fight against each other, of which all competing players will need at least 3! runs to get a mere 1440 dilithium in lets say quadruple the time if not more. an average pvp match (space) will take around 15 minutes as some people have already stated. now that by 3 and you have 1440 dilithium. can you see my point? no?
well you punish every player that still likes PVP (i wonder why), while every other player who plays your all so shiny PVE content gets rewarded with masses of dilithium, that is basically copypaste of what you ever created. granted you created new maps enemies graphics and stuff. ill give you that. but you will NEVER EVER beat the dynamics of HUMANS AGAINST HUMANS.
If you are really going to take dilithium away from pvp, mind if i ask you what are you going to replace it with? will i have to solo mine your precious dilithium mines to get my dilithium?
i have an Idea! why not create an absolutely unbeatable single player experience in where we can get our dilithium without having to play with others. now that would be a change!
Someone once said on a very well know STO podcast that cryptic has more than once proven that you have problems in creating multiplayer games. by killing off pvp (without even taking a few minutes to explain what why and how) you will once more have proven that those people are right in what they said.
IMHO it looks as if you are failing to create viable PVP action and by destroying it you will destroy all evidence that PVP in this game has ever existed.
and the last time i tried to enter capture and hold daily i waited until i was kicked 3 times from the queue due to your server telling me no one was playing at all. is this an active PVP community?
the PVP daily dont work because they dont happen at all. because no one plays them! and now you are going to take the rewards away for what was left,...
thank you for taking the choice away from us, thank you for forcing us to play the content you want us to play, thank you for not beheading us while we are allowed to live in your virtual realm,
thank you!
p.s.: i don't even expect an answer since you NEVER answer stuff people are angry about. and while you're at it (your all so evident ignore mode towards the players) keep watching steady streams of players leaving your game. in pvp u had a chance getting more players but u ditched it.
I am looking forward to the foundry updates! The other stuff doesn't really affect me too much, so not too worried about the nerfs.
I really appreciate the work being put into the foundry, and hope for more content (including costumes) in the future.
What i am looking to most is:
Get That D...mn Loadout System Fixed!
It was making any episode missions very hard...
Like - "Boldly they rode" - finished DS9 run
- got dropped to battle against many Jem'ha dars
(spelling problems? - well its alien lang.)
... and i get killed while looking for my skill buton :mad:
Maybe i will finish the episodes now for all my toons...:)
I'm not going to quote that very long post calling out the devs, but I will say one thing. The last Cryptic employee I saw actively PvPing in this game from time to time was BranFlakes. It would be refreshing to see them actually try it out to experience first hands why they get all the complaints they're getting.
They nerf a dilithium reward that, under non-exploiting circumstances, takes 30 minutes to an hour+ to get. They should have just invalidated matches with an AFKer or a player with no shields counting towards rewards, but that would have been too much to ask. They do this nerf, and they change nothing to compensate for the nerf. Extra EC, fleet marks, or anything at all would have been nice.
The dilithium reward is nothing compared to what you get for running ISE+CSE+KASE which takes almost no time these days, and you get about 6000 dil worth in one run between marks+prototype salvage+regular dil reward.
Time to drop this game. The pvp arena was probably the only way of effectively farming and leveling up chars.
Good job on TRIBBLE it up.
correction: the pvp arena was probably the only way of effectively using an exploit for diltihum and leveling up chars the people who use pvp to "efficiently farm dilithium" are the reason the rewards got nerfed, when people exploit the system they force the devs to take actions they may or may not want to.

exactly, but i know of people, and a channel whose name i forget, who used this as their only source of dilithium. This is their fault, not the devs. Adding rewards to compensate for it would kill the whole point of closing an exploit.
My suggestion to the devs:
1) Only public queue matches count for the missions
2) Keep them either daily or on a 4 hour cooldown
3) Have one PvP daily/4 hour mission for each type of PvP (Capture and Hold, ect.)
This will not fix PvP but it will close the exploit effectively until they can do a full revamp.
Thalaron Pulse:
While charging, this power will no longer instantly trigger if interrupted by offline subsystems.
This applies to both Player and NPC versions.
The version used by Donatra in Khitomer Accord is different, in that it cannot be interrupted under any circumstances
So another question, does this mean Donatra is still going to fire her pulse when she comes out of cloak and not go through the charging sequence first?

It means that she will act exactly the same. This was simply a clarification that the changed power is not the same as Donatra's version.
Wish torpedoes would get some love, especially the targetable ones that are always shot down by NPCS.
Could they get a health increase on non-PVP maps or something please? Or make them destructible only in PVP?
They're far more likely to get obliterated by spam in PvP than in PvE.
They definitely need to sort out what they're doing with HY Heavies (as opposed to HY Salvos).
We've got the majority of them being targetable.
We've got the majority of them doing splash/self-splash.
But we've got exceptions...that...don't carry an explanation for the exception.
I no longer carry any Heavy Torps (well, the Grav - but I do my damnedest not to HY it) because of the sheer saturation of spam in both PvE and PvP at this point.
Would be nifty it they weren't targetable...and were balanced around that. Cause face it, if they don't make it to the target - that's zero damage.
It's a torpedo designed specifically to combat the Undine. It's SUPPOSED to do nasty things to them. That's the whole point!
Extremely disappointed by the desicion to make it weaksauce and may swap back to the Gravimetric photon torpedo; okay, I'll lose one part of the set bonus but at least I'll have a torpedo that's worth a damn.
But here's the thing...and...c'mon, I mean it's why it was so blatantly a bug.
TS3 did 175% of the damage it should have been or a like torp would have been doing.
Did HY3 do 175% of the expected damage? No.
Did the standard torp do 175% of the expected damage? No.
Does anyone think that this 20hr cooldown on the KDF PvP rewards mean that the trolls will finally leave Ker'rat and the map will be what we all want it to be? Pure farming enjoyment?
I play FED and I don't know of any PvP map that actually gives a reward, for me PvP is completely useless in this game aside from destrorying other players which I always do in a designated PvP que! I really hope that this patch pushes the trolls out of Ker'rat! :P
I will say it kinda stinks about the Fleet stuff, however I am super excited about them finally fixing the load outs...hopefully now whenever i come back from an away mission i won't trying to fix them while being shot at..

Undine and Voth both shoot them down. That's 2 out of the 3 endgame enemies. Borg luckily ignore HY torpedoes most of the time.
Tholians and Orions also tend to shoot them down, but they arent really in any end game content apart from Crystal catastrope elite.
Mind, I once one shotted the hull of a very good pvp tank with a HY3 grav torp, so I understand why they need to be destroyable for pvp.
But why cant they be invulnerable in PVE?

The rewards for Ker'rat are based on it being a PvEvP zone...not it being a mindless monster farm as folks obliterate the Borg.
Besides, there was no change to the KDF PvP missions. They were already like that.
The change was to the pair of missions where you run 3x Arena/3x CnH and get a dil reward. Had nothing to do with all the PvP missions that were already dailies.
So folks will continue to go to Ker'rat and blow up folks that are slaughtering the poor Borg.
Consider them members of the Intergalactic Society to Prevent Cruelty to the Borg. ISPCB for short.
Speaking of Ker'rat though - though really should either buff the Borg or nerf the drops, eh?

the coding task to do so would be horrendous which would also mean going through current weapon coding and making a new one entirely not something the devs have time to do

Here's another joke for you. Let's say your heavy torp makes it to your target and misses. It's funny. it's like someone missing me with a nuclear missile and the blast radius does nothing to me, but hurts you. Heavy torps should always hit if that torpedo can be shot down.
I miss on tricobalt and heavy plasma torpedoes so much I nearly rage. "Aye it hit him!." No the word miss came up. "What about the blast radius?!" It said miss, so deal with it.
Buff heavy torpedoes please. Give them HP, or make them always hit. Thankyou.
The dress is gold and white. Over 70% people says so. When viewed from a certain screen angle it appears blue and black. The dress displayed on amazon is a blue and black dress, but it's not the same dress in the picture. If you're seeing blue & black you're slightly colored blind. A normal upright screen = white and gold.
Wow.... so many keyboard warrior cry babies in here.... I mean seriously crying like babys about imbalances getting nerfed but not many thanks given back for the stuff that is going to improve things...
The reward changes to PVP seem to only affect privately created arenas from what I can tell not the public queues. So it is not a total loss. However I do agree with posts on the tribble patch notes about addressing the dil farming directly by giving rewards to players that were active not those who stood there with their shields and armour off and backs to the enemy. Its a solution to a problem that shouldn't have existed in the first place.
The valdore console.. I freaked out too when I first saw this... but considering that it starts when one shield facing reaches 90% is not really that much of a change. However that being said, the "invisible" super duper Gate Plasma torpedo that is intentionally invisible but smells more like a bug to me, should be made visible and targettable so there is the ability to reduce the damage done. Don't make it possible to be affected by TBR or Tractor beams though I reckon. But consoles with the Point Defense Systems should be given the ability to significantly reduce the damage done by that torp. Also, we would like to see it coming for us!!!!!
The ability to get the Caitin Atrox Elite pets without owning the c-store version is epic. Thanks Cryptic.
Loadout fixed finally - thank you :-)
Having the enhanced torp enhanced just for the undine is something I agree with.
Disappointed when I bought the Oberth for the console... Ain't now :-) Thank you again
I will now use my T'varo again due to the OKS with E Battle Cloaked fixed. No many thanks back at you for this one when there should be
Hyperonic Rad & Exotherm cooldown changes are epic! - Awesome change!
Finally! A reason to use Weapons Malfunction (well a good one anyway)
And finally, I don't see the issue with fixing a torp that was doing more than it was supposed to. Cryptic didn't have to give us higher damage with High Yield but they did.
Accept there are going to be changes..... adapt. If you don't like it, leave. There will be less crying and nappys to change if you do.
Still amazed by what nappy wearing keyboard warriors say when they see a change that upsets them so much, they poo. Change is always inevitable.... deal with it.

the coding task to do so would be horrendous which would also mean going through current weapon coding and making a new one entirely not something the devs have time to do
Here's another joke for you. Let's say your heavy torp makes it to your target and misses. It's funny. it's like someone missing me with a nuclear missile and the blast radius does nothing to me, but hurts you. Heavy torps should always hit if that torpedo can be shot down.
I miss on tricobalt and heavy plasma torpedoes so much I nearly rage. "Aye it hit him!." No the word miss came up. "What about the blast radius?!" It said miss, so deal with it.
Buff heavy torpedoes please. Give them HP, or make them always hit. Thankyou.
The reward changes to PVP seem to only affect privately created arenas from what I can tell not the public queues. So it is not a total loss. However I do agree with posts on the tribble patch notes about addressing the dil farming directly by giving rewards to players that were active not those who stood there with their shields and armour off and backs to the enemy. Its a solution to a problem that shouldn't have existed in the first place.
The valdore console.. I freaked out too when I first saw this... but considering that it starts when one shield facing reaches 90% is not really that much of a change. However that being said, the "invisible" super duper Gate Plasma torpedo that is intentionally invisible but smells more like a bug to me, should be made visible and targettable so there is the ability to reduce the damage done. Don't make it possible to be affected by TBR or Tractor beams though I reckon. But consoles with the Point Defense Systems should be given the ability to significantly reduce the damage done by that torp. Also, we would like to see it coming for us!!!!!
The ability to get the Caitin Atrox Elite pets without owning the c-store version is epic. Thanks Cryptic.
Loadout fixed finally - thank you :-)
Having the enhanced torp enhanced just for the undine is something I agree with.
Disappointed when I bought the Oberth for the console... Ain't now :-) Thank you again
I will now use my T'varo again due to the OKS with E Battle Cloaked fixed. No many thanks back at you for this one when there should be
Hyperonic Rad & Exotherm cooldown changes are epic! - Awesome change!
Finally! A reason to use Weapons Malfunction (well a good one anyway)
And finally, I don't see the issue with fixing a torp that was doing more than it was supposed to. Cryptic didn't have to give us higher damage with High Yield but they did.
Accept there are going to be changes..... adapt. If you don't like it, leave. There will be less crying and nappys to change if you do.
Still amazed by what nappy wearing keyboard warriors say when they see a change that upsets them so much, they poo. Change is always inevitable.... deal with it.
