    Bring it on!

    I forget whether it's mission loot or a fleet holding item. But yeah Kentari-style not-a-flamethrower.

    Arena of Sompek... ahh... We of the Ironclaw Fleet and The Order of Kor (our KDF side) refuse to drop at round 5 if we can help it... and will drag 5-n-Diers kicking and screaming as far as we can manage... usually to around Round 40ish.

    To the other True Warriors, let's do this thing!!

    For me, either 5 or 40 is fine although the former would help clear the event on all characters.
    This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.

    That thing? It's a chemical weapon, part of a set which can be collected from 'Mirrors and Smoke'... and may have been inspired by the RA3!Desolator.

    IIRC that's not how this event works. One token per account per 20hrs, then you collect the tokens on one character and buy an account unlock for the item.

    I call it that as well... it fires on the secondary an orange blob of sloppy goo that definitely does not look like a normal weapon discharge

    The interesting thing for me is: Sompek Assault Blast is useable from level 1 on new toons - now we will have Sompek Shield - and it will make a start of a scaling ground set for new alts, I hope we will get armor soon :)
    Too bad the ligthning kit module is not a part of this set... or maybe the devs will do some retro-programing eh?

    The new items seems like it's too specialized just for this event.

    Stats will be worth a look, even if it's simply on par with VR gear it'll still find some use while leveling (remember: account reclaim and these all scale with player level. ;) )

    I'm hoping someday though Cryptic will ad the gear to the game that will allow me to make this build. ;)

    And glitched on wave 8. No spawns on the run we did just now. Waited for a bit, and it didn't advance.

    True, but in addition Sompek is a nice benchmark for the efficiency of ground builds i have on my mains and alts. Therefor i wish to finish the event on all my characters(with the exception of the level 21 disco warrior).

    Bugged on round 3 for me.
  • saber1973asaber1973a Member Posts: 1,224 Arc User

    Here's a thread started in the PC Gameplay Bug Reports subforum:
    https://www.arcgames.com/en/forums/startrekonline#/discussion/1244739/arena-of-sompek
    about the Sompek Event breaking in different rounds for different people.

    I posted my experience there as well (broke in round 3).
  • tyler002tyler002 Member Posts: 1,586 Arc User
    So the Sompek stuff is now a set, but Sompek Lightning isn't part of it?

    Yea, 3 rounds with stopped progression and had to finish one by waiting for timer to run out.
    It's probably the fabrications bug again.

    Might have been an idea to tell the enemy spawns that the event was on.

    Round 1 starts and NOTHING.

    honestly so annoying
  • postagepaidpostagepaid Member Posts: 2,899 Arc User
    Had 5 tokens in the bank on both LTS and F2P so not a massive loss but I'd rather keep that buffer for the awful kamikaze maru.
  • scrappyjwgscrappyjwg Member Posts: 23 Arc User
    @"ambassadorkael#6946" every round ive tried is broke. at the moment noone can play. round 3 at best
  • jcswwjcsww Member Posts: 6,790 Arc User
    I do like this event but... I shouldn't have to run it 3 times just to get far enough to earn rewards! Fix the bug that stops the spawning of enemies, please! The first time stopped at level 2, the second at level 4.
  • postagepaidpostagepaid Member Posts: 2,899 Arc User
    Borks on my LTS and I don't get a leaver debuff yet my F2P gets one.

    Not sure if that counts as P2W or not.
  • nikolunusnikolunus Member Posts: 162 Arc User
    Will the Sompek pulsewave riffle become availble to new toons anytime soon? I earned it when it first came out but any new toons I make can't claim it but they can get all the other items acquired from the areana.
    Space is vast, it's wonderful and maddening. Yet in that madness is some of the greatest beauty I have ever seen.
  • novusspesnovusspes Member Posts: 5 Arc User
    First round I got stuck on round 9, could at least solve the mission dying in the flames.
    Next round it was bugged on round 2, had to leave, 30 min penalty on everything. Nice.
    Is the broken Arena a new feature?
