  • Ohhh the shenanigans. . . But yes, scores should be accomplished by legitimate means, not cheese. We have a knack of finding broken mechanics quickly and reporting them to the devs. I am not saying they are not fun to play with, but to promote them and keep them on your league table after they are fixed is cheap and…
  • You REALLY just quoted that long TRIBBLE post just to say "No duh?" Seriously dude. . . .
  • This is for private runs in the DPS channels--emphasis on DPS. It is not for pug runs, nor was ever intended. You can go ahead and TRIBBLE over the 4 other people on a privately made match by running off and ignoring them. We get it: A selfish person has to be selfish. But if we get complaints--well, you will no longer…

  • Rule of thumb. . . . Only open lock boxes and promo packs for lobi. And only lobi. I repeat again, only open them for lobi. If you get lucky and get a ship, then kudos. But, you are seriously wasting resources opening these items "trying" to get a ship. Much easier to buy the promos, sit on them, then sell them for ec.…
  • Normally I would agree with you--that is how these DO packs have always worked, but the language is a little off on the announcement. It says "newly purchased DADO packs" will get reward, but then will revert back to DADO packs only after event. So what exactly does that mean? That existing packs get a temporary upgrade…
  • Would you please clarify "NOTE: Newly purchased Delta Alliance Duty Officer packs will only offer the chance to win the Krenim Annorax Science Dreadnought during this promotional event. Once this event ends, the packs will revert back to their previous state and no longer offer the Annorax." Does that mean for CURRENT…
  • Great Post!!! -- concise and valid. But other issues need to be addressed as well: Terradome: Removed January 2014 "Season 8 Dev Blog #37 Wrote: However, we felt that the Undine in Star Trek Online were not on par with the Borg in terms of their toughness and challenge rating – so we’ve decided to go back and make them a…
  • What happened sorta has a familiar feel . . . .
  • Well done, Sano. . . . well done. PorchSong
  • To Clarify this. DPS-Bronze, DPS-Silver, DPS-Gold and DPS-Diamond are NOT the DPS League Channels. They are an offshoot channels where they are tricking people into joining. And yes, no-one is supported by CombatLogReader. It is a parser. We can still use it as we always have. BUT, the DPS League was created by @agressiel…
  • No, you will get a re-invite to the DPS-10,000, DPS-30.000, DPS-50,000, DPS-75,000. So, you do not have to re-qualify. We have the logs to make the invites again.
  • The Original DPS League is NOT GOING AWAY. Want to know what is going on here?? A group of 5-6 players split and trying to form their own league. Which is perfectly fine. But, how they went about it is totally uncalled for and quite cowardly and underhanded. THEY WENT ON TRIBBLE DURING PATCH AND KICKED EVERYONE OUT OF THE…

  • They say ignorace is bliss. If this is true, then you must be in nervana. NWS was never about dps; it has always been about crowd control. High dps'rs did not ruin NWS, Cryptic did when they messed with it by making 3 "new" levels that only meant moving a hp slider. The old NWS was still good, all they had to do is…
  • Well, the best we have been able to determine regarding lag is that it is refresh related. The high dps'rs have been experiencing lag since DR. And, it continues to get worse. We did some testing and have so far theorized it is due to specialization trees and ship traits. Everyone else is experiencing it now as more and…
  • Thank you for taking care of this so promptly. A report button would be greatly appreciated though--unless you get inundated by whinny kids constantly hitting the button. Anyway, I do believe Torsten might be on to something. It does appear that DapperDrake is all of the above aliases. Let's hope you slapped him with a…
  • Well done, you have been reported to Cryptic. Let's see how they handle a Racist such as yourself.
  • Upload your parse to league table via CLR and then we can sort it out for you. Go to dps.shivtr.com for more info or look at sticky on these forums under PVE content.
  • The title is spot on: ANRA is a Big Fail in its current state. It is basically impossible to get both optionals. As for not failing the mission b/c you didn't get 3 ships in 3 mins--that was never an issue for me, or those I fly with. But now, no one can get both optionals. This is why they have tribble. Cryptic did not…
  • Yet another sad, lonely, mouth breathing, loser still living in mommy's basement. . . . Shoo fly. . . .shoo
  • We understand your frustration completely. And AGREE with it. But to lay blame on us is really quite silly. We have from the get go have asked for more "challenging" content for us. A version to really test us. Not to harm everyone else. That Cryptic made the reward system based on difficulty was not our doing--to the…
  • Agreed, Cryptic would need to have a queue matching system that would match classes for a run, but I also understand that would damn near be impossible to accomplish. It is a weird trap and maybe public queues are what is actually killing this game. To be fair, the channels mostly only form games from within and not too…
  • No, we simply laugh at comments like this--so much animosity. You really have a lot of pent up resentment towards people that you should really let go of. It is not healthy. And, the elephant staring you in the face is that ALL of the channels are optional. If it is not your gig, that is ok. You do not have to participate.…
  • It was 5 tacts. And why is everyone getting their panties in a wad? The elite version ON TRIBBLE is way too difficult for 99.99% of player base. It a pure DPS map now. Cryptic is clearly moving in the wrong direction. This map will get as much play as HIVE elite will. We are not ******** about the map that is on Tribble…
  • What is sad is that this is a pure dps (mega dps) map on Elite--in it's current form. Sci & Eng need not apply. . . . There is really nothing you can do as the timer will not let you lend to the team. Another swing and miss by Cryptic.
  • W4P is not mandatory, nor is it a rule. It is up the person calling the game and setting it up. The reason we launch pets--then recall them--is so that you don't have your pets get blown up by first cube and that you have time to get your pets out and working for before the map is over. We do ISA so quickly that you would…
  • We have the channels private for 3 reasons: 1. To qualify people so when they call out in the dps-50,000 channel, they can do 50k. If it were public, then a 2k'r could "x up" for a 50k run. 2. To make a goal for people to shoot for. And by people, I mean those who enjoy chasing dps as these are the "DPS" channels. 2.…
  • Again, why coment in this thread, then? It is called the DPS league and channels for a reason. I repeat DPS. It is optional. Furthermore, it completely promotes community and it is the largest community in the game. There are thousands of players in the league and it continues to grow daily. So I have to ask, what have…
