Please use this thread to post all feedback and bugs found for the new Queue Revamp in Delta Rising.

New PVE Queue Difficulty Options
  • Many of the standard PVE queues have now been altered to fit the new queue difficulty settings.
    • Standard Difficulty is unchanged.
      • Players level 51 – 60 will be scaled down to level 50 for this queue.
    • Advanced Difficulty replaces what was previously called Elite.
      • Players level 51-60 will be scaled to level 60 for this queue.
    • Elite Queues are now level 60 versions of PVE queues.
      • Only level 60 players can queue for this difficulty setting.

Known Issues
  • Not all PVE queues have been revamped yet.
  • Many queues will occasionally automatically fail at steps within the mission.
  • Rewards have not been fully implemented for each queue.

    I have to admit, interesting change, and I guess you guys may have lived up to your promise to do a nightmare mode :)

    Just a question, I dont see a Infected Space Elite in that queue (I see normal and advanced) but not the level 60 mission.

    My toon is lvl 60 on tribble, and I can see the borg disconnected elite queue.

    So are these STF elite modes just in the final stages of being redone?

    Really loving these changes. Is nice to have a very challenging PvE endgame.

    There is however one major issue. Items such as Borg Neural Processors will be nearly unobtainable for most players. As you get none from Normal, 1 from Advanced, and 2 from Elite.

    Most believe that the Advanced queues will be comparable to current Elite, which was how it was advertised in the Dev Blog, but this simply isn't true. As it is now, Advanced queues require 6-7x the DPS of current Elites, which places items such as Borg Neural Processors out of reach for most of the playerbase, who tend to have issues even getting the optionals with the current Elite. Those players are not going to get a big enough boost from higher Mk gear or T6 ships to be able to do Advanced in it's current state.

    Would it be possible to change the drops for items like Borg Neural Processors? Have Normal reward 1, Advanced reward 2, and Elite reward 3? This way those items will still be obtainable for all of the playerbase? Not all players are interested or have time to get their builds up to what is needed for these harder queues.

    I for one am OK with the current Elite PvE, somewhere around 6 to 10K DPS depending on the pug group I get, if I happen to get a bad pug we will not get the optional now. Now I am trying to improve my build but there is no way I will take the time nor do I have the resources to get the DPS that is expected to be needed for the advanced or the elite. So to deny the casual player for the normal PvE after DR launches even one Neural Processor would be a slap in the face so to speak, especially for the paying members, which I am, a life time member.

    It is good to have new content, but consider that you could alienate some of your paying members, and after all you, Cryptic, unless I'm wrong, you are here to make money... And your FTP players could be turned off from this game completely and never want to pay for better content....
