We will soon get the hearts and minds mission *Yawn*
that they dust off every blue moon to Zzzz Zzzz

Ok seriously cryptic that mission is not spooky or scary it is BORING!! hell the bonnie-kin hologram on dorzana is spookier the hearts and minds.

Could you guys like make a NEW holiday mission maybe even use good ole Bonnie-Kin hologram again?
hearts and minds is a snoozer and just flat out boring.

I dont know bout other players but a new holiday mission maybe something darker with a overtone sense of dread and forboding not some nutty vulcan cloning himself i mean seriously it gets old fast.

    I don't think I've ever actually done Hearts and Minds, just like I've never done any other other holiday events.

    its not so much an event as something they whip out every friday 13th and halloween and like the op said its boring as hell and not even remotely creepy and takes like 2.5min if you dont read dialogue.
    that said it was also apparently written by a dev on his own time in off hours because he wanted to do something nice, which is really cool.

    100% in agreement. The bonnie kin mission was the first mission I played that had voice over, so it really creeped me out the first time. Thought there was someone in my house. :D It didn't help that I was playing in the dark either.

    It's a resources thing: it's one thing to make good use of some off-hours free development time. It's another thing to whip up a decent creepy episode that gets used a couple times a year. Go write one in Foundry and offer it to the devs...

    I haven't been here for a year yet, so it'll be new for me. And I'm looking forward to it :tongue:​​

    Bonnie kin creeped me out as well, the distortion on the voice was really good touch, talk about going psycho.
    Have nothing against Hearts and Mind, think its a cool little mission (Especially since it was done off-hours).

    I play through it if I don't have anything else to do. Beside, we won't get anything new if they remove it so.

    Well, it's better than nothing. It sure isn't nearly as "scary" as good ol' bonni-kin but meh, whatever.
    At least we get a somewhat useable free rare doff, though his ground efffect is kinda pointless.

    1. It was done by a developer on his own time as a nice gesture to the players.


    2. The episode does have a Halloween vibe. A mad scientist dabbling in the forbidden is a common horror movie theme. See: "The Re-Animator" and "Frankenstein" (the classic film, not any TRIBBLE remakes or spin-offs).


    3. While not as scary as an insane hologram named after a notorious double murderer and grave robber, that swarm of clones who attack you at the end, all yelling at you at the same time, was kinda creepy the first time I played it.

    I personally enjoyed it. And Dr. Sibak has been one of my favorite go to DOffs. So, for a mission that was done on the dev's personal time, I've received large chunks of enjoyment from it!

    I do. I think playing with the lights could make it scarier... do it in near dark conditions. It just needs a little tweaking

  • warpangelwarpangel Member Posts: 9,427 Arc User
    I'll play it on my delta recruit to get me the doff. It doesn't really have replay value.
  • azurianstarazurianstar Member Posts: 6,985 Arc User
    Easy way to make it scarier. Do a 5 Nights of Freddy popup. :wink:

    Yeah I don't get the effect...is there anything the Doff actually affects?

    I did the mission a couple of times. I think it was a cool mission for what they did. I remember my Romulan going through it and got the Boff. Then saying in her log they sent the "clone" to sickbay for a full check over. To make sure he was safe before put on duty.

    I hadn't done it since then. But IF I got time. I might do it for Halloween. Yeah it would be cool to see more "Spooky" missions in the future. Specially with no lights.

    Lirpa? which Lirpa? :o

    Like a badass I shall make him look, and in the furnace of war I shall forge him.
    he shall be of iron will and steely sinew.
    In great armour I shall clad him and with the mightiest weapons he shall be armed.
    He will be untouched by plague or disease; no sickness shall blight him.
    He shall have such tactics, strategies and machines that no foe will best him in battle.
    He is my answer to cryptic logic, he is the Defender of my Romulan Crew.
    He is Tovan Khev... and he shall know no fear."

    Then you have nothing to really complain about on the subject. If you want something you feel is scarier or more suited toward the holiday, the Foundry is there for you to make whatever you want.​​

    So you dont want better just the same old can of spam over and over i played it once it was boring and ive done the foundry alot of very brilliant people.

    The mission itself either needs an overhaul or a complete redoe but hey if y'all like the same ole thing over and over again never improving then why did i bother even bringing up the idea.

    Oh well thats what i get for trying to think of a way to to make something better on a forum that seems to be overrun by fanboys or those who just dont want better....sad tbh.

    WOW I REALLY SHOULDN'T HAVE SAID THAT

    Wow, I totally forgot about this mission. I remember playing it back in the early days of the game. Don't think I've played it since. I remember being annoyed by it as it wasn't scary and seemed to imply that it would be.

    That's not really what I said at all. Of course people want new content, that's a given.

    First, while you may not enjoy the mission, there are certainly others who do. Second, as has already been stated, this mission was made by a Dev on their free time, so appreciate it for what it is and the free time that was put into making it. Lastly, following this logic, every single mission in the game should be overhauled because we've been doing the "same old same old" for years.
    Oh well thats what i get for trying to think of a way to to make something better on a forum that seems to be overrun by fanboys or those who just dont want better....sad tbh.

    I'm no fanboy, I just disagree that this mission is something worth complaining about. Again if you want something you consider better, make use of the Foundry.​​

    Shoot man i know you not a fanboy im just frustrated i think maybe they could take ole bonnie kin and somehow work him into the hearts and minds mission maybe relocate it to drozana.

    And just make it more darker and forboding
