The fleet weekly projects I feel still need FM inputs raised and FC inputs reduced, but it's a start.
Hyper-capacitor shields sounds very interesting. Shield heals effectively become weapon buffs. Cool idea.
How's the new Aceton beam DoT stack work? Does the DoT effectively get stronger the longer it lingers on a target?
Some nice fixes incoming tomorrow.
Crystalline Cataclysm event has been extended to 9/7/15 at 10:00 AM.
GOD DANG IT! WHY ARE YOU DOING THAT!?!?
Because a whole lot of people were unable to play due to Cryptic's ISP being on the fritz, so it just makes sense to extend it and give people a few extra days to catch up.

Thanks for the laugh.
Np.
Lots of nice bug fixes, that is if they actually work. LoL.
Plasma Feedback Cascade now reflects damage back to the first attacker who hits with a ranged energy weapon.
So this is no longer an AoE? Pretty much takes it from 'must have' to 'not worth using a kit slot'. I would agree it was probably a bit too powerful as it was, but this makes it almost completely useless. I'd rather have seen it kept AoE but have the damage cut by 30% or so.

No no. The problem with Plasma Feedback Cascade is that it wasn't working at all for a while. They are fixing it so it works like it's suppose to, as it was originally. It's always worked as a chain attack, similar to the Isometric charge console or Nukara T5 reputation trait. It hits 1 target then bounces to other targets near the first. Edit: And you don't target an enemy with it. You get a "buff" for a few seconds and when you get shot by an enemy is when it goes off.
Secondly, your 'Report a bug' option in game does not work, only says service unavailable.
I just read the patch note as saying that it would only damage the first attacker, and no longer chain. Rereading it now, I *still* think that is how it reads. Wouldn't' be the first time we've had unclear patch notes. I gotta admit, tho, I didn't realize it had been broken. My old computer at home is so decrepit that most visual effects don't show up at all, so I only know the cascade works when things are dying from it.

Amen to that!
Yeah. No changes of note here yet. It crashes or freezes still, right after the Iconian War splash page. So unless they add more to this patch before the servers go back up, those of us getting locked out due to the DirectX bug are still left twiddling our thumbs.
Where the logic in that? that almost the point of them!
I Beg You, Please Undo That Change.
It is.
I had to force verify the files
Tactical Team sucked, once upon a time. I got it buffed. Don't think for a minute that Cryptic ignores forum feedback.
You need to go to the Tailor and edit the affected costume. That will automatically fix the problem, even if you don't change anything else.
Nadi Drex, my KDF Joined Trill, would like to thank the devs for curing her chestlessness. That gaping hole was rather ... disturbing.
*Resolved an issue which was causing occasional crashes involving the UI.
*Resolved an issue which occasionally caused a crash when a mission objective would update.
I'm gonna throw the bs flag on these... This is the third week we've been seeing these crash fixes, and I'm STILL having to log in in safe mode to avoid a crash every time I change maps...

Yeah I know how to use the tailor but all of the ones I attempted that got it after Season 7 were still greyed out and not working. I'll probably try again but I am pretty sure its another failed attempt to fix them.
Edit: I found the problem that wasn't reflected in the notes because maybe they said it once in a post no one ever read or I somehow missed. You have to take each affected character to commander roxy on ds9 and register your xii gear so that it gives you new pieces to activate the accolade that was bugged. After all of that it will then work in the tailor editting.
