Defera City Hard - New bug?

xdotsxxdotsx Member Posts: 60 Arc User
edited January 2015 in PC Gameplay Bug Reports
Had to do it 3 times, because at least one fully assimilated Deferi was 'friendly' and just faced the wall (quite a few drones did that actually). Up to that point, it seemed like it was working fine.

Haven't observed this before. Is that a new one, or was I just lucky until now? I know the one where you have to wait and sit it out, because you can't free any Deferi. But haven't seen it working with just the last bit being impossible to complete.

    Yes, this sounds like a new bug.

    The normal problem with Defera City hard is during the first 2 phases, but these normally autocomplete within about 7 minutes, so they are tolerable. This one affects the final phase, which is new.

    yup, the new bug is the borg you need to kill for the final sequence DO NOT SPAWN, which kinda nakes it hard to complete.
    yo cryptic, what's wrong?
    do you think we were having too much fun there?
    is defera the new japori?
    can you fix anything without breaking three other things?

    I can confirm this too. The City drones and especially elite assimilated deferi do not aggro properly so city cannot be completed 2 out of 3 times (well I ran it 3 times and only managed to spawn all 4 elite assimilated at the end on the third time)

    ticket ID #2,854,188.

    the 3rd set of alcoves from the right does still work now and again, check to see if the four fully-assimilated deferi have spawned correctly.

    This seems to be intermittent. On Saturday, both instances were horribly bugged (where the fully assimilated would often not even spawn), but today I ran the 3rd set of alcoves twice in a row on alts and it was not bugged either time...

    Honestly I have ran in to this bug now like 3 different times. Can you freaking FIX the bug and NOT introduce any more in to the zone and KEEP the bug from reappearing every time you do an update
    Honestly I have lost interest in SPENDING ANY MONEY ON STO until these bugs are fixed and fixed permenantly

    Same here.... It's very annoying, you need to try three or four times to get it working.... ¬¬
    The worst part is that you spend your time thinking that you are doing the mission than 30 seconds BEFORE you are to get the reward and: TADAAAA... BUGGED! *Rage Explosion*

    Ran city SIX times just now. Still didn't get a completion because of the new bugs. Ended up giving up out of boredom and frustration.

    It was bad enough before having to wait for it to auto time out to the last stage, but now the last stage just gets stuck. I also noticed during some of them that the Borg which emerge in stage 2 were not turning to hostile and either just walked away or turned round and walked face first back into their alcoves for the remainder.

    Come on Cryptic, the mission is pretty much unplayable now, what more is it going to take for you to fix this!? :mad:

    I have the nagging feeling that Devs automatically ignore any thread which has Defera in the title.

    I did find a 'workaround' if you have an engi on the team and one of the final drones doesn't exit the alcoves. If the engi walks in behind the drone and then faces outward and deploys a cover shield it pushes the drone out and they turn hostile.

    Really the number of 'workarounds' we need to complete missions at this point is ridiculous.

    It would make Defera so much more fun if something was done to it. There are a million bugs and still people play there. What really annoys me is that no dev has ever even recognized any of these threads. It would be ok to get even a "Its not on a top priority to us, maye we take a look if we have time" but it seems as if none of these Defera threads even existed...:mad:

    Bump again. The only way to get it fixed is keep it on top and more people need to post. Defera is a good way to earn fc and dil to raise your fleet up and for those of us still working on raising our fleets we need Defera to work right, or at the very least have city work the way it used to. I will take that over not having it work at all and having to do bs work arounds to complete it.

    I agree. Defera ground zone is one of the best things in the game so how about fix to that before coming up with new stuff.

    Verified the issue of the Fully Assimilated Deferi and sent it on to be fixed. Sorry this took so long, but the mission requires a minimum of three players and there are only five of us in STO QA, so this took some effort to coordinate.

    Thanks for the reports.

    Please tell me the other long-standing bugs with this mission have also been sent for a fix?

    Just ask us to stand in and help you troubleshoot. I would gladly give up an hour or two of my day if it meant getting Defera City fixed.
    No, I am not who you think I am. I am someone different. I am instead a banana.

    After three runs with fleetmates, we determined that the most reliable alcove to have all four Fully Assimilated Deferi and not bug is the second one as you come from the Base Camp. On each run this alcove did not bug the last stage, while others did, despite having the Fully Assimilated Deferi already in place.

    Looks like that alcove is going to be popular to get the mission done.

    The drones not leaving their alcoves is actually more annoying than all the other Defera bugs combined. I'm sorry I ever complained about the old bugs, please just return this to a state of functioning bugs instead of this useless PoS it's currently in.

    Well the other bugs on Defera have existed for about three years or more, so I wouldn't expect it to get fixed any time this side of 2020.
