For what its worth, the ARC client seems to have a similar problem. As soon as I tried the "upgrade" it crashed and won't come back. Protip - test your new version on all supported windows versions before release.
Bump for this one. With the new summer modules this has gotten even worse. Camping the v-rex spawn is pretty much required now if you want your kill reward. Just give the kill reward to everyone in the zone when the last rex drops or time runs out. Too many people get screwed on the rex and never go back. That is certainly…
Edit - Was able to complete mission after dropping and hailing again. Makes no sense to me, but there you have it. I heard of this long ago, but I never used it unless the mission was obviously bugged. It was bugged, but you had to look at the mission tracker closely. The major bullet next to the mission title never…
How about balance things so we don't need 3 flavors of queues? The power creep is exciting, until everything is faceroflstomp. We just need 2 flavors now, pre-60 and post-60. Too many queues means dead queues.
I just wait out the missing enemies, dropping mortars around. They will pop out of nowhere eventually. So glad I just have to play a few more toons to complete the set on romy deltas. As for the cutscenes, I just switch to a browser and eat a respawn.
Only 120 pages?!!? How about some support for these endless queues, like a solo training mission required per account. A queue that applies an ignore list. A solo option with reasonable rewards, or rewards that depend on solo events. An afk penalty that waits 2 min before applying.
I have to agree. These events can have the effect of abusing the dedicated players. This breach event is more soul-sucking than usual. Not is it only a huge grind for the shiney, but the map is particularly bad for pugs. The voth dreadnought dps sponge is the place where pugs go to die. There is no cd if you leave, so…
Scraping bottom at 18 ships. It kinda stinks that old dismissed ships are gone. I cleaned out my ship roster quite a while ago. Claiming and dismissing ships was a real pain. I still don't know if I got them all, the z-store keeps shuffling the deck.
We need to be able to get cards directly from shipyard and z-store, without claiming and dismissing ships. Make cards available for all the free ships one has claimed as promotion reward. Auto-fill of ship selections like department head suggestions for boff missions.
It finally occurred to me that an exploit would explain the abrupt disable of the entire zone. Making a major change in the middle of a weekend with no comment is certainly unusual. As for an intended removal, there has been no mention from official sources. Some said the borg behavior was updated, which would be…
Ok, I see the bug forum post now. Could it simply be bugged so bad it has to be disabled? Not really much info there, either. Defera has been bugged since the day it was released. I have no idea why this affects Nukara as well. Some kind of communication would be nice.
Logged in to discover my missions got dropped. Went to Nukara and Defera Invasion to verify there are no more missions. Apparently they just disappeared today, 10/31. This is disappointing to anyone who needed a playable area for borg, tholian or fleet marks. The dilithium was good also.
Just out of curiosity, how does a player even figure how much time is spent on the elusive hunt for DPS? It has warped my entire gameplay. Choices for ships, gear, maps, daily objectives, how resources are spent, conversation topics - pretty much everything. And just look at me now, posting again instead of playing.
In other words, the player has to put in TONS of effort because the game is totally inadequate to prepare the player. You know this is suppose to be a game for fun, right? Nobody wants to do a major research project just to play a game. If this was fully disclosed to new players do you think they would they gladly sign up?…
This thread is way longer than I would have expected, well done. And kudos to those posters taking a unique point of view. My point is for the DPS crowd. Just how do you expect the novice player to jump from episodes to the dizzying heights of DPS? Do you really think all players are willing to endure the effort? How can…
A quick update on my situation. I finally got 15 BNPs for my ground set. I will definitely take a long break from STFs at this point. Ground is still kind of fun, IF you have a trained and geared team. It took me about 20 KGA and 1 KSA (mis-queue, but got lucky - me in a samsar and all). Strangely the space critters in KSA…
Thanks for that reply. I don't see the point in putting other players down. If being an elite player in a player-unfriendly game makes you special then more power to you. If other players voicing concerns makes you feel insecure, then maybe you should ignore the post. If you are just trying to hide a game-breaking feature…
I'm not sure if this is the right place, but here are my STF comments. Forcing a CD after a fail makes no sense. Why not let the player try again or try a lower level? This is an extremely frustrating obstacle to the players. Advanced is simply too hard, especially space. These are significantly harder than the old elites.…
Thanks to everyone who posted. There is still some fun to be had in game, just not on the bleeding edge for me. I have resigned my fate to plug along at a casual pace. Today I spent a couple of hours training boffs. Thanks to Cryptic for that extra bit of grind. I suppose an all-in-one package was too much to ask.
The trakia - hirogen array patrol has 2 cubes pop in to help, but they are too close to the array and each other. One clips the array, and I have to shoot through the other. Also, it would be nice to have sectors next to system names in mission tracker.
The ending cutscene with cooper getting contained and destroyed or whatever did not play correctly for me. I had to escape out of it. I did get knocked unconscious right before the scene triggered, maybe that had something to do with it.
I used to make 2.8m per tour, with special attention to warp coil, di/rp and borg engine. It was a grind, no doubt. The simple solution would have been to nerf the short blocks and bump the completion award, but we got the nuclear option. Now you have to run 12-15 toons. No thanks. I'll run my 5 and make it up other ways.…
The particulars are not as important as what you get from it. The game desperately needs VA content. What do you do after you have maxed out your rep? Why do you need to buy expensive gear when there are no new mountains to climb? The is especially true of EV Suits. You have done Nukara hards hundereds of times before the…
