    A ground No Win Scenario could be a nice change of pace, at least for my engineers. My TOS captain has been waiting for an excuse to try out his Nomad and Methuselah drones :)
  • fiberteksyfirfiberteksyfir Member Posts: 1,207 Arc User
    I love those drones. Heh so fun

    I'm not a huge fan of ground combat in STO, but if the rewards are decent I'm definitely gonna play it a few times. That being said I would have prefered the return of space No Win scenario instead.

    Sounds to me like it will mostly be a frantic button mashing event lol

    Having said that, the "arena" thing in the The Undying mission was sort of fun.

    Now, all that is missing is it making a squeaky noise when it bounces off a foe and hit the ground.

    Or like the jokers gun when he pulls the trigger and a flag pops out saying bang
    you toss the kligat and instead of a kligat a bunch of confetti with a flag saying "yu ar now haz ben keeled"
  • revanindustriesrevanindustries Member Posts: 508 Arc User
    Well we all knew Kligat was going to get nerfed.

    I hope they leave this in.. that you can enter solo or with a team in the holodecks ..
  • ltminnsltminns Member Posts: 12,572 Arc User
    Perhaps they are using this as a test bed to see what other kind of changes they may want to make to Ground. Coincidence we get a Ground PVE Queue Event now. 100 Rounds. This may be a very long Queue, indeed.

    unless it has some seriously epic reward, I won't bother more than once or twice. Sounds interesting but event>event>event>event>event>event>event>event>event>event> has left me a bit tired of it all

    Getting so much lag that any difficult ground play is not really doable, I've given up switching to aim mode for extra deeps.

    I wonder if we can revive others as long as one of us is still alive?

    It'd make the Paradox Corrector useful.

    Hmm, from my testing it does not seem like the best choice for waves of targets. Sure, it hits ridiculosly hard, but only on one target at a time. If my kligat is hitting for 3k on a target that only needs 800 to kill it, and my Boolean/mines/mortars/transphasic/flash freeze/exothermic/etc can hit multiple targets or an entire area at a time for deadly damage, why take up the slot?

    Finally a way to use the 'holodeck' excuse for content...it feels like an official foundry mission.

    yep, ST stuff is going to be at a SEVERE disadvantage here...kind of like it is in every other part of the game where the more AoE you (and everyone else in teamed content) have, the better and faster the mission goes​​
    Like special weapons from other Star Trek games? Wondering if they can be replicated in STO even a little bit? Check this out: https://forum.arcgames.com/startrekonline/discussion/1262277/a-mostly-comprehensive-guide-to-star-trek-videogame-special-weapons-and-their-sto-equivalents

    I think it'll depend on how they structure the waves. If any have an emphasis on a small set of big targets than single-target builds will still have a use on the team.

    It will be glorious, I will run it many times especially with my KDF toon.

    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.

    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."

    Since the things they nerf are likely to be just the herald staff and other OP AF weapons I'm not worried

    Given Cryptic's record of late with buggy releases, does anyone expect this new event to actually work?

    I give it 50/50, it should be easier than a battlezone to program after all.


    I might try it once. Ground combat in this game isn't my happy zone.
