Devs, Please Read this (Borg Space Reward Drops)

SystemSystem Member, NoReporting Posts: 178,019 Arc User
Devs, why did you turn off the Reward Drops in Borg Space? here's are a Simple Facts about why:
1. People Complaining About it in the way of doing their time to beat the "TRIBBLE" out of Borg. and in return for that, they Lose Valueable Rewards that can keep them selling for Exchange or for use on their ships or for their friends.

2. Reward Drops that's much in that space before should be for those who need it badly to upgrade their ships etc instead of other people who complained.

3. for those who complained, THINK first before you say it. the rewards you had are lost, because they're been Nerfed.

4. for those who supported this, you gotta think first too, because the rewards you'd have would be enough to keep your money high. but it's too late for that.

5. as for on behalf of few of my friends and SOME forum users who play in Borg Space, Please Turn On the Original Rewards we had in Borg Space before.
by the way, Devs... you were Listening to Other Side of Forums that's WERE crying FOUL of the Rewards.
well, on this Side, we blame them. but not me. i think they really need to see their OPTIONS before they cry foul over something else including this Rewards.

    This is an interesting thread. I look forward to seeing where it goes. Loot is always nice. But hey. Gotta love B'Tran.

    What drop table are you talking about? Where were you "farming" for these drops and what makes you think it was changed?

    I don't see anything in the release notes stating anything was changed. I'll admit, I don't spend much time in Borg space other then running STF's and the odd B'Tran run so I'm interested to know why you think something was changed.

    I think he means ke'rat was there today to Borg no longer drop loot,
    You just get a MK x item if your top 3 damage givers.

    Oh, interesting... Man, I don't visit Ker'rat for a week, and it's all turned upside down?

    I knew dstahl wanted to nuke it - but I didn't know he had neutron bombs in his arsenal. Impressive!

    Celes is in Regulus Sector Block. Which is mostly Klingon and Gorn stuff and junk.

    Kar'rat is in Eta Eridani Sector Block. which is the Klingon/Federation Neutral Zone.

    Borg space is Gamma Orionis. Which you need to be Rear Admiral Lower Half 3 to enter. Kar'rat has borg yes. But it is not "Borg Space". It is a PVPVE War Zone.

    Edit: I love Ortha though.

    I still have trouble understanding this thread. What do you mean by "the borg space drops were turned off""? Is it that the borg mobs dont give any loot or that they fail to give anything over MKX or something entirely different?

    It would be better if you could explain things and be a bit more specific as what you term Borg space. Is is Gamma Orionis or the Borg open PVP area in Kerrat (Neutral Zone) or Borg encountered randomly in the Btran cluster?

    in terms of Borg Space Sectors which you did't see, only two are Nerfed, Kar'rat Sector and Celes Sector.

    I like the STF's, they are good fun, but in some respect *from what I could understand from the message* I agree that the drop rate should be higher, and at least at tier thats usable by Vice Admirals, for god's sake, a rare mk VIII item dropped the other day helping some people out in Infected.

    If anything could be changed (and yes I am aware that the STF's are due to get some love from the dev's) I would at minimum make an alternate reward for completion of the mission. With Marks of Valor only being usable at a minimum quantity of 35 for only mk X TRIBBLE with a special lil [BORG] suffix, it kinda feels like a rip. I have discarded a fair share of engine, shields and deflectors from these missions. I would like to see some form of alternate reward, a series of purple ground weapons, or armor, or shield, or ship weapons. Just something that doesn't make the hour+ seem like a waste.


    The other thing I personally would like to see change is a Random purple drop at the end for all players, a little bit of fairness would go a long way with all the need jockies. I competed The Cure the other day and my reward for the entire mission was an Uncommon Variable geometry Detonator Mk IX, and some Uncommon Mk X B/O TRIBBLE. I felt very ripped off -.-

    Suggest you look at a map and see where Celes sector is, it has nothing to do with the borg, and is in the middle of the Regulus block

    So the main income for Kerrat Gold farmers has been turned off and the OP is complaining? :confused: I don't understand why...

    Oh wait... I see now :D

    The main income for Kerrat Gold farmers has been changed with the season 3 update a long time ago. They know sell anormalies they farm b'tran and co, also they craft sell the TRIBBLE outta purple items and on top of that they seem to be selling 8 hour skill bonuses quiet frequently for 300k.

    You might still find a farmer or two in Kerrat but sure not as their main income these days. The game adapts to farmer, farmer adapts to game. Its quiet simple, for all the get the farmers out of kerrat yellers, well it really doesn't make a different because now they craft and sell anormalies which now they will be direct competition with anybody who is crafting. Or why would the mk xi gear around 500k or less (purple).

    Man, when it rains it pours. Firs they nerf the KDF with the cloaking tractor mines, and next day they shut down the gold farmers by nuking the Ker'rat racket. What's next? Taking SNB out of game?

    Celes is in Regulas sector block.

    Cestus is in Gamma Orionus.

    I understand they nerfed drops in Kerrat, but what in Cestus, was nerfed? I haven't noticed anything.

    Devs went about this wrong way, instead of. Turning off loot
    In ke'rat they should have made all kerrat loot bind on pickup and non
    Recyclable would nerf farmers but not players trying get MK xii gear. Or atleast
    Turn ds9 fa back on.

    I cannot confirm any reduced drops in Ker'rat. I was still able to get regular loot drops (including Mark XII stuff) from the Borg vessels there. Even from the hulks still. (Which IMO shouldn't drop anything in the first place.)

    Come on, it's the only interesting zone in the entire game. Don't make it a ghost town...

    Edit: just went to Kerrat to test it. It's just the same it was before. Won two Mk XII items from hulks, one blue and one green.

    It's not up to date, and the Gamma Orionis sector has been moved to a different (more accurate to the actual soft canon Star charts produced for CBS IMO) location, but it's accurate enough to what's in game... Feel free to point out the Celes Sector in Gamma Orionis for us :D

    Sure, i will be at ESD Zone 1 and i will Take you and show you where it is Located. most of Sectors in GO were moved and had same names such as Celes Sector.
