    they can be beat at lvl 50, don't punish all the people that can build ships correctly because some people cant... the new revamp on all the PVE missions is GREAT! weed out the <10K DPS players,.

    Did you ever stop to consider that perhaps some people are new to the game and honestly don't have an idea of what they're doing yet or don't have the resources some of us do in order to get a ship to 10k dps. This game is about having fun and not being an elitist who's game is being defiled by those who dare pull less than 10k dps. I'll take the guy pulling 6k dps that knows what he's doing and can stay alive over the guy pulling 30k that stays dead most of the time. dps doesn't mean anything if you don't know what you're doing.

    Fleet Alert also cannot function in the current form as its intended to be doable at all levels. with things the way they are you essentially bar anyone lower than 50, and perhaps even 60, from being able to run the mission. When other missions as well cannot be completed because people cannot deal enough damage, no matter the gear level, yes they need to call attention to it. The issue isn't people building ships or dps, the issue is that the hull strength, enemy hp stuff is all jacked up.

    I finally hit level 54...after turning in EVERY SINGLE REPLAYED MISSION IN THE GAME, and only going from 50-52.8.

    If they roll back my level, like they did to me twice on Tribble, I may actually, finally nerd-rage on here.

    Curious to know when it'll be back up, as I'd just logged in and set all my reputations/sent out my minions (Doffs) and R&D and was just about to go start the red alerts/dailies in Tau Dewa on my two mains before going and working on my new Liberated Borg Klingon I just built last night and took to level 12...

    (That revamp to Klingon's storyline you folks did is great...actually makes sense now whereas back when I first tried them it kinda just threw you in at level 30+..)

    I paid for lifer sub after playing for a month (Hoping you'd add playable Borg) long before Romulan expansion...and went and played other MMO's while my Zen accrued.

    Came back to over 10k Zen and bought all shared storage slots...and would totally use more of that to buy Doff Roster slots if they weren't character-bound (I am one of those people who would rather sit on a pile of in-game coin and buy account bound upgrades/toys...I never buy these silly character specific fluff as I like to play numerous toons at once on all the games I play...and often just totally delete a character when I lose interest and start new.)

    I'm still hoping you folks will add playable Borg. (I miss flying my cube from Star Trek Starfleet Command III...)

    Anyway, I'm ranting as per my usual in forums...is there any news?

    Our maintenance is being extended until aprox 11PM tonight everyone.

    Thank you for your patience tonight. I know you are all itching to get back into Delta Rising.

    So sad. You guys ALMOST made it to the end of the launch week without some crazy maintenance issue. :rolleyes:

    Just a bit off-topic:
    Does anyone else find it ironic that they made a big deal out of a new PvE queue entitled "Bug Hunt"...right before this swarm invaded?

    Don't they know the most basic rule of engineering?

    You increase the INITIAL estimate to make you look like a miracle worker.

    You do NOT increase the actual time it takes ...
    That just makes it look like you don't know what you are doing!

    *sigh*

    My old boss made this mistake all the time, his boss was always pissed.
    Space the final frontier. These are the voyages of [your name here] on a five year mission to gain one level after the delta rising xp nerf.

    You might try Playing things on elite difficulty then. I've done 3 missions on elite and gotten from 50-54.

    #3

    You can change the difficulty of the missions your on by default. if you did all of them and only got that I assume your playing on the absolute easiest level you can... and perhaps its time for a little bit more of a challenge.

    From what I can tell he's reading this thread and probably shaking his head at how daft some of us can be while watching his smartphone waiting for an update from the devs so he can relay it.

    It's also likely he's considering watching a movie.

    All Captains - please forgive the added down time as the crew is experiencing a series of unfortunate mishaps at the present time.

    Things were all set to come back up on schedule after the emergency patch, but the junior technician was asked to flip the server power on switch - he was so excited that he broke the switch! The Sr. technician promptly slapped him up side the head - which sent his forehead careening into the server pushing the "manual over-ride" switch deep into the machinery.

    Then the female I.T. coordinator spun around to confer with her co-coordinator just as the Jr. Technician was being slapped up side the head causing the co-coordinator to spew his Fruit Punch flavored energy drink all over her Alpha quadrant staining it bright red. She promptly launched an attack into his Delta quadrant sending him backwards into the DOD's desk (Dev on Duty).

    Which in turn caused him to spill his boiling hot coco-mocha latte down his chest, after whipping off his "steaming" hot Green Day tee shirt, it was discovered that he now has a bright red burn on his chest that resembles the Cardassian Unions emblem. Lucky man!

    But there is also a PWE accountant on site who had a very large box meal from Taco Bell for supper and of course developed a nasty bout of gas. The poor man became so nervous at the antics happening in front of him that now every time he farts - it sounds like a Tribble purring! If our staff can ever regain their composure we assure you that it will be all systems go.
