Speaking of which... Isn't the reason it's so hard to get Assessed Stratagems because Cryptic was worried that people would exploit in order to farm them? To figure out ways to get them without doing actual content? I don't mind that Cryptic doesn't care. I just wish that they didn't care equally.
Can you confirm whether or not it affects NPC ships? An earlier poster said it did, which suggests to me that TFO's like Hive Onslaught are going to be nothing but 3 minutes of orange screen.
While I don't disagree with you on any particular point, there are other solutions. Even if they are low impact. For example, I spent the past couple weeks looking for a way to get the Anti-Time Entanglement module off my build without losing any dps. It was trickier than it sounds, because it's a really high dps kit…
Thank you for the screenshots. So long as it only affects Player ships, this should be fine as far FX spam goes. I just kinda wish the devs would take our feedback on it more seriously, particularly when it comes to ground missions. "The rule of cool" has a way of being mercilessly abused to the point where it's not even…
It's a timed encounter much like you see in episodes. You see a body on a table, you scan it and waves of little spiders come at you from two directions. They just keep coming and coming until the timer runs out and the boss spider comes out. You kill it, a key appears where it's corpse should be. You pick up the key and…
Hardly anyone reads that, man. The first time I came to the book shelving part, I had the worst time of it because while I was trying to match the book with the proper shelf the rest of my group was just running around randomly hitting the closest interactable they could find, instantly resetting the entire thing. If…
Like I mentioned in the post just above yours, the FX on that voice is very overdone. It's easy to tune it out as background noise. Something I think they should consider fixing.
I personally liked it alot. One of the things I had been curious about from the onset is whether or not control effects would work on skeletons. It turns out they do. The ramifications of this is that things like Paradox Bomb can be used to pull skeletons into the light. Likewise, it can be used to drag them out of the…
I can't help but notice that you're using two different armors in each of the screenshots. In the one where you get a 84x3, it looks like you're wearing a Solanae Suit. If that is correct, is it the Marksman version? That particular suit grants a 5% bonus to energy weapon damage. While entirely irrelevant to the topic, I…
I have to wonder if this invulnerability includes control effects and whether or not the skeletons can be "pulled" into the light via things like Paradox bomb. Kind of a pity if they can't.
The Fek'lri Carrier is SOOO good for levelling new toons. Those little flame throwing Lost Souls would sometimes wipe out entire groups of ships before I even got within firing range.
Can you please let us know what comes of this? If Anything? I use those same pistols, and btw: They have a x5 multiplier. Not x3. (We are talking about the same pistols from the Temporal Rep? Right?) Golded out on a combat map, they come to 64.3... and that is with things like the Risian Kit Frames. Instead of the Dot3, I…
Ahh, that would explain my experience when I tried it on advanced. Since I last posted, I did give it a couple more runs. The Warp Core lightening run went smoothly without issue. But I did run into the Clear the Brig bug. To get around it I just beamed out and immediately went back in. It spawns you at the mission start,…
What I found helpful was looking at the floor. You can see scorch marks precisely where the lightning hits. Where the floor is blackened is where you get killed. If you simply stand at the very edge of the danger zone you can wait for a break in the flashing lights and run. There is one caveat though... I once tried this…
If it helps, Uncertainty Burst has always been a standard ability I add to one BoFF for each of my characters. My main uses it as a Kit Ability and I've never had an issue in story missions or TFO's. One thing you might try is making sure you have an engineer or two with Quantum Mortar as it has the ability to hit things…
You are mistaken, sir. Both the Klingon War Arc and the Delta Quadrant Arc reward 2,500,000 energy credits each. Edit: Mistaken on both counts it would seem. Well Travelled does not appear in either the list of activatable traits, or the passives listed listed on your status sheet.
This is one of the most thoughtful and well put criticism I've seen of Discovery. Kudos. It's so difficult to have a discussion about it because any sort of criticism tends to be conflated with "wokeness". A term that I'm sick to death of hearing. I
It's a good time to have one. Most people will be finishing the Temporal Op Reputation award that makes reputation gear at VIII Ultra Rare in four days. It gives people an extra four days to get there if you need it, and bam. Easy golding. I just hope the date is accurate. This is not me trolling or flaming. I'm merely…
That's it. Kobali Crisis Act III. That's the one that's easy to miss. It happens because at that point they pull you into two directions at once by offering multiple missions at once, and it isn't quite clear that they aren't related to each other. You think you're done with the ground missions but in reality, you aren't.
