Turn the PVP off and i'll reconsider ever doing that queue again, the ground is fine. but man the pvp is not wanted.
My point is, this felt very gimmicky and not really suited for starships. I'd love to see a map with two NPC fleet carriers loaded with assault teams that you must beam up and and then deliver to a central star base that is being contested by another force. Think Counterpoint, but with a central starbase being fought over and the two DS9's being the NPC fleet carriers. The interaction mechanic for beaming up and beaming down these teams has already been taught, and even the graphic for carrying an assault team is already in the game.
Please provide something that feels more canon to the Trek conflicts, even if these are now just war games.

One run was totally failed because two DPS heads simply refused to do anything other than shoot. This was fine until we drew the doorkey stage which was lost because neither bothered to assist.
However. That being said I enjoyed the mission. The focus on doing something other than just DPS is quite refreshing. But ultimately let down by a playerbase who can barely work together.
Sorry for the rant.
Same here. I think the door key one needs a warning flashing, maybe an audio prompt every 60 seconds, making it clear that people need to be on the keys. One heroic member of our team did a good job at getting equidistant between two keys to get it open though. Despite that, it took way too long and our core was destroyed the second we entered the chamber all because we had two people who didn't realise what was going on and didn't have chat open.
The scenario has really nothing to do with any realistic space battle scenario, and the PvP component is minimal. It's not really immersive.
It's also a lot like shooting fish in the barrel with the massse of enemies that swarm around and can't go anywhere. if GW wasn't such a good damage power, you wouldn't even need it to catch enemies in AoEs.
+1 not going to touch any PvP related content here.
When there is a PvE version of this kind of content, i might give it a try...
Stick with it guys, give the potential system a chance to kick in.
I think it was Undine Assault that did this best - the mission briefing was a video narrated by Tim Russ I believe that explained what to do nicely. Make it unskippable the first time and that would help a lot I think
For guys like me, that dont have time to check tribble or get into more details about new content, that War Games Queue: Twin Tribulations announcement sounded like a PvE STF and when I got in there I was expecting the usual PvE NPCs, so you can imagine how surprised I was when I suddenly started losing hull and shields like I was flying a shuttle and moments after I was wondering "where was the buss that hit me..."
And I was queued in the NORMAL version with a normal team not PUGs... (for the record we won)
Besides that, first parts where fun, if you ignore the fact that not all ships turn that easy...
and last part could be fun if I knew what to expect and I was prepared for it...if you can ever be prepared for that...
Generally I prefer playing PvE stuff and THAT is not PVE, so i dont think I ll play again any time soon...
And please remove it from the PVE queues... this is PvP not PvE...
2) You don't actually have to do any reputation-specific queue to advance a reputation. Just play those choice of marks queues all day and you get your marks that way, and you can buy elite marks with regular marks.
3) Imagine how it feels for PvPers, however. They were until now actually forced to do PvE to advance their reputations, and they needed that reputation gear in PvP a lot more than you'd need reputation gear in PvE.
I totally expected to see combat in the core room.
I did not expect to be ganked from the second the other team entered the room (we beat them to it, but lost afterwards), and get killed seconds after spawning again as you are well within guns range if you respawn.
So, two things from my point of view:
The actual PVPVE part is really fun, though. I'm not really a fan of PVP in RPGs, but it's the highlight of this mission. I'd hope future competitive queues have us interact with the enemy team in a more meaningful way throughout the mission. Some Attack/Defend content would be great!
Then I get into the central chamber and boom I explode, from some undected environmental hazard I think, respawn and get obliterated by the enemy team several times. I'm no PVP player and don't claim to be, so no thanks.
But it's fun when players actually work to complete the challenges instead of telling each other to shut up over chat.
I like PvP but I haven't had lots of opportunities to do it in the core room. I'm mostly trying to tank the core's attempts to vape me and keeping players off of my team's backs.
To anyone getting vapes in the core room, check what killed you. It's been mostly the core for me.
1YES
2 Oh yes you do you CANNOT get the rep marks unless you do this forced PVP TRIBBLE.
3 F#ck PVPers they have screwed up this game and many others with thier whining.

And to those whining about PvP - where?! Where is the PvP? I've seen it only once during 10+ runs, and even then it was meh, alright. But most of the time, one of the cores is nuked before the other team even finds their way into core room.

Anyway in all the times I have do this new mission there hasn't been any PVP. Its just fly in a straight line to the end then shoot the tower thing.
I really enjoyed it.
That said I had no idea about helping to unlock the doors. The only time it occurred to me was the room with the cube you have to stay inside. Then it clicked that maybe I had to be doing something to help unlock the doors quicker.
Next time I'll be ready.
All in all, I think I could really enjoy this for some time to come.
