Upgraded Borg Cutting Beam is Worse

edited September 2014 in PC Gameplay Bug Reports
Looking at its stats on ground so its numbers are not affected by any skills or bonuses in space, the standard Mk12 Borg Cutting beam fresh off the rep system does 375 kinetic damage, 300 dps.

After upgrading one to Mk13, it loses its Dmgx3 mod, and now does 370.5 kinetic damage, 296.4 dps.

So it would have been better if I had never even touched the upgrade system with it. What a waste of dilithium I spent on upgrading it. Will this be fixed eventually in a patch, can it be? Or should I just bite the bullet here and buy a new one?

    Damn I didn't check the stats on mine before upgrading. I would assume they'd have to fix it or compensate us with Dil and EC because we did nothing wrong here, just exactly what they wanted us to do.

    I so failed to check if my fleet shields stats actually changed.

    This even happens by just dragging it into one of the slots in the upgrading tray, and without using a kit. If that is meant to be like that I'm angry - or is it a mistake?, then please fix it.

    I had exactly this happen to my Cutting Beam. Had similar problems with other items, in fact the only items that actually 'upgraded', rather than staying the same or getting worse, are my beams.
    Can't see how this can be resolved tbh, the whole crafting and upgrade system is so broken, that it should be rolled back and reworked. But that can't be done because of the vast amounts of Zen and dilithium that have been traded.
    I'm basically in the position of not being able to log in because I crash every time I open inventory or look at ships, I have spent all my remaining Dilithium on upgrade projects that did not work, and the only satisfactory response would be to have all the original items and Dilithium reimbursed. which cant happen.

    On a side note, this issue has been persistent on Tribble for some time, with no acknowledgement. This makes this feel like this was an intentional stealth nerf, though I'm still holding out hope that it is a mistake.

    the whole system is a TRIBBLE up
    on tribble there was a LOT problem with this
    and insted that they took time to fix that
    they implement it on live server with all bugs and all kind of sh*t
    players have spent enormous amounts of dill and zen on this f*** up upgrade
    that is not even working properly
    numerous players have lost a lot of stuff and gear
    when will you fix that
    you have replaced players existing ultra rare gear with junk gear
    players have lost a lot of stuff that they grind for
    some players grinded months to get that stuff and now you TRIBBLE it up for them
    when will you fix that
    we want our stuff back
    we want that this f*** up system be fixed
    we want game with out of bugs and TRIBBLE ups from your side
    you know how to take players money
    but seems you dont know to bring us game with out of all kind of bull sh*t that you can think of
    to implement in game and even when you bring it in to game
    it is now working properly
    so think before you do stuff that affects players
    and FIX THIS:mad:

    Yeah unless I'm Picard in the Enterprise this is unacceptable. I will go as far as to accept the error so long as they gaurantee that the Mk XIV upgrade will show and have all the correct stats as XIII is just a stepping stone for most.

    Everything they release is bugged. So, only the experience will tell you that DONT USE anything they release until proper fixes are done. And this will not grant you that they will fix 100% the system. As happened in the past (for example the loadout system) they will let a broken system to live in the game, and people will waste real money in the meantime without knowing the system is broken. Get used to it (i know, i never saw this way of work in any other company, but it is what it is).

    this tipe of buisness is common in USA and China
    first
    give your money
    than they implemnent some system that can help you but
    first you must give them some more money
    and than system is a TRIBBLE up and it is not working
    but they dont want to tell you that
    beacuse if they do they will lose money
    so insted they dont fix system and dont talk about it at all
    beacuse they think if you dont know about broken features in game
    that you will spend money on it beacuse you think system is workin properly
    so they just takeing your money and buying fancy cars ships and houses with oyour money
    and giving us f*** up system full of bugs and telling us
    about awesome features in new game expansion that will also be a huge TRIBBLE up full of bugs
    and half of stuff wont even work properly
    but the main thing is that they advertise game as free to play but with some features
    that you must buy with real money if you want to advance in game
    but than again half of that features is broken and not working
    so once again you got screwd up by cryptic
    and that is american way of life

    The problem with the Cutting Beam is that the upgrade strips the DamX3 mods from it.

    I don't always feel like endlessly grinding for hours with little to gain from it. But when I do, I choose Star Trek Online

    Don't even need to upgrade, just placing the KCB in the upgrade tray strips all the dmg mods.

    Exactly the same happens with Heavy Bio-molecular Turret you get from Undine Rep.

    Instant nerf as soon as you slot it, and even after update is over, it's still worse than original.
