like the title says does the patch also counts for NPCs?
I just played vicious circle elite and got 1 shot by the planet killer 2 times
also all my mates got killed with 1 shot
normally I can take 3-4 hits

Sometimes, if you want to bury the hatchet with a Klingon, it has to be in his skull. - Captain K'Tar of the USS Danu about J'mpok.
you cant use evasive to evade the planetkiller hit.... it fires in too high rate
with a DPS group its no problem he fires 1-2 times and then its dead anyway
but with bugs ists hard
+ majority of players dotn do that much DMG and will more likely die a lot
Maybe you need to increase your shield power or something.
If someone made a post and made a suggestion saying:
"Hey guys, I was thinking, they should make beam overload attacks always land a critical hit and don't drain weapon power. It would do a lot of damage but the base damage would be reduced by %25, so no problems there. Also, NPC would do this so there wouldn't be any power creep. What do you guys think?"
There would either be a flame war saying how bad of an idea it would be (with the odd few liking the idea because of their build set up), or, claim it's a troll thread. But the developers sat down and actually took this idea and said, yeah, this is cool. How?! I mean, I can only think that they have some else going on up their sleeve we don't know about, beyond that, it makes zero sense.
Cryptic is going for how to make space combat end as quickly as possible. If you're fighting something for more than 6 seconds, your doing it wrong.
Your saying to yourself, no big deal he was probably in a crusier buffed out. WRONG! I was in a Fleet B'rel. Come getcha some.... Biiiiiiiaaaaccccchhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!
P.S. BTW I did not curse or am I in a Breech of contract with my comment. Only if, through your intellegence and imagination did I say anything sinfull. To others its simple jibberish.
P.S.S. I guess anyways.
Me. I think it's amazing. Absolutely full on 100% laugh out loud funny and entertaining. The Hawk post makes it 200% funnier.
Just classic classic Cryptic here.
The goo pools seem quite buffed. Drain shields hold then one shot with their torpedo? Even with attack omega there is maybe 1 or 2 seconds to get out then blop.
"With the first link, the chain is forged. The first speech censured, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains us all irrevocably."
After all my armor, and shields my T'varo was still getting smashed for 50k crits. If it was just me I might laugh it off, but 4 of us getting one shot one after another with crits, 8-10 deaths a piece min. Thats just f*cked up. Even our Galaxy class got taken down in 3 shots, in mine i normally tank 8-10 shots in a row from it like nothing, but thats without them all being crits.
You cant cross heal DEAD players.
What do you expect? the planet killer is a dumb stupid designed static thing that floats in space. The only thing it can do is to fire something from its "mouth". Of course i agree, cryptic is not really known for making challenging and interesting enemies. We all know that.
When i first heard about the planet killers, i imagined some really big ships that actually moves, and with more abilities than just to fire a single thing from its mouth. Not just static monoliths in space. But again, cryptic didnt dissapoing me (knowing em i actually expected something stupid like the actual planet killers).
What is really funny is to see all the players trying to fight not only the planet killer, but the incredible lag and lack of weapon visuals everywhere, at the same time, trying to kill the additional undine ships that keep poping up all the time.
I must say i didnt have any problems to surive, didnt find almost any crit and my bortasqu is in a really earlier stage of build lol. I dont even have reputation, fleet or purple shields, not even MKXI xDDD (just the jem hadar mk X lol) and all my consoles and items are blue and a few of em purple. But mostly blue. I dont have maco shields or other reputation equpiment lol. The only "good" thing i have are the weapons, all purple biomolecular disruptors and torps, but thats the "maximum" quality of any item i have LOL. And still, i survived just fine. In a few times i was almost dead, but thanks to my skills piloting xD, i achieved to hold more than 30 seconds with less than 15% of heal xDDD. Any direct hit or any criticall will kill me but i had luck.
Actually i only did the undine battlezone about 4 times, but everytime i do it, i hate it more and more.
I was using my beam overload skill all the time, but meh, i noticed that the damage output of the beam overload now it is really really ridiculous. Of course, the name doesnt fit it anymore, since it is not an "overload" feature, but seriously?? who cares if it inflicts criticals all the time if the damage is nerfed to a ridiculous point??
LOL hahahahaha
