A tip for Newbies about EV suits and fighting the tholians.
So often when doing Transdimentional elite, one player comes out without activating their EV suit. Therefore letting the entire team down. They say that their suit won't activate.
Well with abit of common sense, go to the flugta asteroid mining near DS9.
Before doing your mining, activate your suit in the building, and it should indicate its on.
If it works there fine, then you should be ok against the tholians.

I was talking about testing them that they work.
There is no problem with the EV Suits. It is just newbs that don't know how to use them. If I remember correctly, you can disable the visuals for the EV Suits and the EV Suit will only show up when you activate it. Also, Nukara is a far more effective place to make sure the EV Suit is working properly. If you survive going out of the base, then it works. If you don't survive, then it isn't turned on.
Quite right, these newbies need to understand this.
Recently, there was a bug preventing ev suits from working sometimes.
Not everyone experienced this bug, and those that did didn't encounter it every time.
Absolutely right. well said.
However, it's in Nukara Prime where a player is given a full explanation about class Y ' s atmospheric conditions and the necessity of an EV suit.
If new players don't go to Nukara Prime first and they qeue up a Nukara ground stf, you can't really blame them.
Perhaps Cryptic should implementthat same message window that you get in Nukara Prime, like those popping up in ISA.
EDIT: And it should be impossible to queue for the Nukara missions if you're not wearing one.
Lol.
Those who do should be forced to buy Cryptic's hilariously-priced 500,000 dilithium EV suit (which does nothing special except have a differently-colored skin). Penalty fee.
Agreed on that, description is somewhat poor.
Reason could be that back when Nukara Reput was released with LoR not many ways to obtain those marks were available. Cryptic rushed NTTE & NSDTE in the queue list as reaction.
Hope that more and more players get the hang of Nukara maps now. It is a cool straight forward fight and one that rewards at least adequate for a change in elite mode.
Wish I could say the same about maps in advanced which take 5 to 10 times as long.

They were put in the queues as a nerf. To stop people from gathering the entire instance's population (15 or 20 peeps IIRC) into one fight and curbstomping them.
Think I remember them as part of Nuke quests the red ones. But didnt they have an awful long cd attached to them?
I for my part was glad when they made them queues.

So people are trying to do 'Elites' now without knowing the basics? :rolleyes:
It looks that way yes. Some do blame it on a bug, but there are others who simply forget to turn their ev suit on. Once that happens, it can put the whole mission in jeopardy.
Thats why i said earlier about testing what suit you have at the dil mine inside the building there, to see if your ev suit works ok. if it does then good, no problem with tholians, in theory anyway.
Cryptic loves their newb traps and the feeling of superiority it gives their "elite" players.
I'd hardly call someone 'elite' because they know how to turn their EV suit on!
They were a lot more fun with a roomfull of people than the mandatory 5...even if they were so easy that way it was a joke, they could've made it scale to number of players.
And Transdimensional is still pretty easy anyway.
hehe yes mine the graphic does not show unless the suit is on but really equipping the suit should just turn it on. Dunno maybe its more "realistic" with an on button because then a light goes on and a breathing sound for oxygen not sure. Really though its just an added step and I found it was hard to tell if it was activated until I figured out that it could be set up to show the suit graphic only when turned on. The two buttons for activating and deactivating on the keyboard for us "older people" its actually hard to tell if its on.
