New queue UI is worse than horribad - confirmation window doesn't pop (so you just get randomly warped on a map without any warning), you can't really understand what have you queued for and matchmaking in general is a total lackluster. Oh, and you can't anymore queue simultaneously for a single queue, but different difficulties, which is also a terrible change. Ever heard of the old truth of not needing to fix things that ain't broken?
Oh, and on top of that, Elite queues have Normal-tier enemies. Was hilarious to complete Hive Elite within 1 minute and 27 seconds, having total DPS of only 227k.
Edit: Queued for a map with a friend (yes, we were teamed). Game decided to warp me into the queue, but left friend behind in ESD.

Gotta agree with my channel friend here.
The new queue UI is terrible.
It's got repeated text in places, difficult to navigate and it's difficult to see what you actually queued for. I just found it really hard to find the queue i wanted and see what other things i was waiting to pop, which the old system had no issues with.
Then once you are actually queued and players accept you no longer have a popup to see a countdown or anything. It's all a bit messy.
Also, yes the NPC levels are totally messed up. I thought i'd suddenly become some uber-player until i saw they were almost 10-15 levels below me.

They said that PvP was temporarily turned off.
Just saw that. Thanks!
1. Queue UI sucks horribly.
2. Why aren't the new marks available in Red Alerts as with previous reputations?
3. Where the hell did the cooldown list disappear to?
GG cryptic, I am just curius.. why you ppl hate so much PVP?
The general mood I've seen in game so far, is that it needs to be reverted. It's just flat out bad.
That new ep is awful. Horrid writing, disastrous VO, a 'captain' who is both not believable and schitzophrenic (Yes, I mean Kuumarke or whatever her name is) and an generally ham-fisted attempt at a morality play. Dare I mention the dreadnought near at the end? Its shields make it damn near invulnerable. I suffered heavily in the nerf (still making around 35k dps, down from 78k) and took about 10 minutes to down that thing! It made for a truly frustrating experience, grinding that thing down.
Frankly, IMO there are far better missions in the foundry. Hell, better ones have been removed in days gone by and that's saying something!
This was supposed to be a season release? It seems like it was just an excuse to nerf things.
On a positive note, the bank consoles on DS9 have a nice animation on their displays which I haven't seen before. Me likey!
Big list of changes will always be bumpy; lets hope and look forward to the best
... and it doesn't work. I arrive in the Sitor system, and there is silence on all comms channels and a notable absence of any interaction points. I think a bit of this mission must have fallen off when you moved it into the episode chain, guys.
Anyway, I'm using the time to write bug reports instead. There are several to write, I fear.
I also think the title of Season 13 is incorrect. It should be:
"Season 13: We're Not Even Attempting To Care Anymore"

Oh, man. I liked that feature.

EDIT: reputation tab wont stop flashing like something is completed. nothing is.
EDIT 2: issue is only when looking at characters/NPCs in UI, ground maps look fine
EDIT 3: however the TAILOR has some amazing graphics bugs, the edges of my character were so choppy and pixelated that i was laughing.
I'm guessing you're having a Transparency issue too @shevet
By any chance does it kinda look like... this?
The UI may simply be a matter of getting used to, it is a lot less cluttered than it was before.
One thing which disappoints me is that the new competitive marks are not available from Borg Red Alerts.
HOLY SHTAKO! You're dude's partially transported into the Twilight Realm!
Either that or had a bad time on The Grid.
"No matter where you go...there you are."
Good point... OH GOD! THE WARGAMES! THATS WHAT DID IT TO HIM!
lol
in all honesty... I guess it wouldn't be a major game update without something breaking.
On the plus side I enjoyed the new queues, and I liked the ground map in the new FE, it's really well done. Still, please bring back the View Cooldowns button so we know what's happening with the marks.
