I assumed that was why, but did not want to presume. I have no love of the DPS cult either. This who wish to play the game that way can go off and enjoy it. I do not see why adding scores would damage the game in any way. I think there is a role for those meters in Elite STFs. There is certainly a floor below which you are…
Pretty strong view there. Why di you feel this so strongly? Surely you recognise the game gives no useful feedback to people about their performance. These things are very useful tools to help develop players in Elite STFs.
So there are a few a related points in this thread, similar but not the same. People with terrible DPS in elite STFs: There probably should be some sort of gear req at the very least. People not knowing what to do in Elite STFs: It is rightly pointed out in here that the normal ones don't exactly prepare you. That is a…
You have obviously never worked with children. Bullying is a serious issue that wrecks lives in extreme cases. Do you actually believe that children show live in fear of their peers, simply because they were born with a big nose, or are considerably smaller than others within their age range? In extreme cases the result is…
So depressing to see this problem returning with this event. Yes, you get an AFKer or griefer in the odd PuG STF now and then but in this mission you get them by the horde. I had two in one mission yesterday. So very depressing. A mission that is actually quite easy was stupidly hard. Burn them!
Every time we get some new voice acting people start moaning about hoy irritating it is. I love it, all of it. People speaking really builds immersion in the game world. I am enthusiastic about the return of the winter Epoh lady too... I played this game long before they added voice, and it was much more dull...
Okay so you got me there, which is super annoying because I had looked through those top 10 scores and had seen the Neutronic featuring, but only once. What I had not done was appreciate the plasma damage was from torpedoes, as there was just a single entry in the parse I thought that was a secondary effect rather than a…
I am sorry but I laugh hysterically at the use of the word 'piloting' to describe BFaW 100k+ DPS runs in ISA. Because what that actually means is a well timed 6-10 button power use sequence and 4 parking spots for your $200 boat. I am intersted to hear you say that the top of the DPS charts are all hyrbid builds because I…
That looks a lot like the dps output of a science ship and a carrier to me. I never doubted the efficacy of all torpedo builds in certain circumstances. I make great DPS with my own carrier using torpedoes primarily, but those torps don't make up more than about 25% of my damage output. With the greatest of respect we are…
Alternatively you could replace this scaling mechanic, which is an intersting one, with a chance to penetrate shields altogether inversely proportionate to remaining shield strenth. Either of these though, woud have profound effects on the way the game works currently as most of the 30k+ folk would be dead in a few seconds…
You are right, of course, but the knowledge that I am almost certainly reducing, or limiting your performance by doing this really sticks in my craw. Additionally, when I play with PuGs on ISA who commonly manage less DPS than the pets of a decent carrier I feel that performance of more 'natural' Star Trek layouts should…
Whilst I understand the point, and I want to agree, this remains a fringe choice. Certainly there are sci low-wpn power torpedo build choices this is hardly any more 'Star Trek' than an total energy weapon configuration. I also have serious doubts that this would be genuinely better than running a pure beams…
I have nine, and it is definitely too many. Fortunately the specialisation system has made me much more focussed on four of them. One space, and one ground on each side so I can team for any elite STF and dont have to mess about with trays and traits.
I DOff, run elite STFs and don't suffer from 'gimme shiny, gimme now'. I have never had a problem with availability of material, although I am vastly over provided in some areas, I accept. The recent comsumables and additions to the crafting recipe list, in my opinion, show the devs recognise some materials are more common…
I have always felt the problem with FaW is essentially caused by the game's poor implementation of fire control. As a player you can only have one active target and that is the only thing you can fire at. FaW permits any weapons that cannot bear on a particular selected target to fire at something else instead. This is a…
The only real problem with STO micro-transactions to my mind is there aint nothing micro about them. Each new suite of ships is the price of another full priced game.
That is right on the money. Although, I also like ikt when you can end the cutscene video - but the audio keeps playing. That doesn't interfere so much.
Absolutely. I would gladly pay the cash if I thought the weapon could be made useful. Melee is a lot more popular these days. With the swapable traits people can really pimp it out.
I was hoping to be able to get the benefits of the cosmetic as well as the performance. I actually use a lirpa in borg ground STFs and it looks like I am stuck with a bland looking one if I want a mk XIV
