Nerfing Plasma consoles so they don't boost plasma damage = stupid.
Damage based experience vs missions based = stupid.
In fact about the only benefit I see from all of this is atleast the UI isnt as messed up and the pvp **** measuring competition is coming back to life. But give it a week and some "hotfix" will take care of that.
So post your thoughts and lets see how long it takes to get locked yet AGAIN.
Funny how that works isn't it? I wouldn't even be here if I were able to be in game doing something productive rather than waiting on some kind of cool down.
Per-system patrol lockout = prevents dil farming, and ought to shut up all the people whining about how they are "forced" to grind Arugula all day, every day for the spec points they "need"
Plasma doping nerf = good. It was a bug, now it is fixed. Earn your DPS, don't do space drugs!
Maybe if people didn't exploit parts of this game...
Huh?
You couldn't pay me to grind Argala, but I wouldn't deny it to people who were interested in completing their specializations as fast as possible.
It would have been a good patch if everything post patch was giving pre-patch Argala levels of skill points. That would still be a lengthy grind to pick up spec points.

Your thread = stupid.
Cryptic posted a thread on the reasons for these changes, I am sorry you cannot use the forums in the manner it is intended to read about changes in the game.

Dil for everything = good!
More XP for most things = good!
Your opinion = I disagree!
Dil grinding = waste of time when you can only refine 8500/day anyways, so don't care.
I don't run plasma but they could have taken the plasma proc off and accomplished the same thing without hurting people with a plasma build.
More xp for me less for the people i take with me to help them level. But I'm 60 and filled out commando intel and pilot already. And I could care less about the new command tree.
All it does is force me to go pug STFs because there is very little else to do except play the exchange.

Ahhh, yes I still got my 'ruler' too... I gotta see where things stand. It's been a while.

The dress is gold and white. Over 70% people says so. When viewed from a certain screen angle it appears blue and black. The dress displayed on amazon is a blue and black dress, but it's not the same dress in the picture. If you're seeing blue & black you're slightly colored blind. A normal upright screen = white and gold.
So far the only thing that blows is that this patch caused my game to start randomly crashing again... :rolleyes:
Make that two of us.. only yesterday I had 4 client crashes, and one random pc reset while playing STO... not sure if STO was the cause, since it was the only thing running, 46 processes in my pc, but yeah... odd
Actually, apart from a change to Ionic Turbulence, I actually kinda liked the patch.
In fact, waxing optimistic for a moment, I cannot help but wonder whether maybe we're seeing the hand of the new EP at work here, focussing more on bug-fixes?! If so, I applaud that direction. If Cryptic did so on their own accord, I applaud that direction too!
The power tray lag is reduced (but sadly still present). And of course BOFFs are still going AWOL and I just fought through power tray resets as well. So those parts still need more work.
But all in all advancing my character in both XP and Dilithium (at the same time!) is now easier IMO. I'm seeing no downsides caused directly by this patch. I'm so pleased I even rewarded them by spending some money.

And they still boost exotic plasma damage.
So, your first two posts got locked?
And this is your third post ever?

Lifetime no longer gives a forum title. That should be updated on the Lifetime page that mentions what you get. PMing the CSR doesn't work neither.
