Fleet action trophies - bugged?

[Archived Post]

Are the fleet action trophies bugged?

I did the klingon space mission (stopping the scout force or something) in psi canis and came second yet did not get a trophy. i did not get an accolade either but im not sure if they are just for finishing first?

if it is just for finishing first that seams a little harsh

i did the starbase 24 one earlier and got nothing although i only just jumped into it at the end. I have done two actions earlier and did finish first and got the accolades and trophies, so im unsure what the deal is.

Are the trophies just for winning of should it be for everybody. if so can i get my trophies?

In order to earn a Fleet Action Trophy you need to take 1st place, not 2nd. From the patch notes:



There are also trophies for taking first place in a fleet action, these Trophies are NOT retroactive but ARE totally awesome to compensate.


Keep trying! Those trophies are truly awesome looking!

4th shelf doesn't work.

The only trophy I've gotten from Accolades successfully was the 1st one Azura or whatever. Even though I've done quiet a few more.

first place is rather a task for anything other then an escort. when sci is doing the job they are meant to, they heal players ans cause issue with others, not do damage and hope to get the best points.

this is where trying to get first place in specific roles needs to be adjust by the role and not damage alone.

Anyone can do it if they set their minds to it. I fly a cruiser and I came in first place on Starbase 24 and the Gorn advance today. :)

1st place really? That stinks

I pity the Klingon who tries to get any of these!

I'm truly disappointed Cryptic chose to go this route.

I received first place in every fleet action I've completed (except for Starbase 24) while I was leveling my Admiral character up. Had I logged on and saw fleet action trophies for my efforts, I would have been pretty stoked. As it is, now I'm just annoyed and irritated by this entire feature, with absolutely no desire to redo these fleet actions again on this particular character. I have good memories of how they worked out the first time through. Why would I want to spoil them in an attempt to frustratingly repeat something I already achieved once?

Good idea, poor execution.

I mentioned before on the tribble section that Fleet Action Trophies should be awarded for completing the Fleet Action not for getting first place. If it was some object that was visible to the general public, I could understand, but it is not. Only you and your friends will be able to see it. Have one accolade that is awarded for completing the Fleet Action that awards the Trophy and keep the current Fleet Action accolade for those that want to brag about them finishing in first place since it gives a title. Besides numerous people are complaining that the story accolade trophies aren't being awarded to them and spending a couple of hours doing a fleet action would a decent trophy to call your own.

i have done it in a cruiser a cpl times by luck. but sci is a whole different breed. if a sci guy plays correct, he is out to heal and offer spacial confusion for the others to be able to pound the units to peices.

not saying there was never a sci guy to do this, but the odds are not in the sci favor as verses the engy and tac.

but i bet odds are that tac gets the first place well over 70% of the time.

I agree, because Escorts will always be the First Place Winner in Fleet Actions (And Borg hunt), while Cruiser a close second and Science Ships bringing in the rear with insufficient DPS.

I made first place in sb 24, got the cold warrior accolade, but no trophy

Ditto. You get a nice reward for finishing first already. Why tie this to it as well. I've only ever gotten first once by accident while I was leveling my latest character up. I still have no idea how I got first in a cruiser at level 4 in Starbase 24. I do know I can't come anywhere near close to that again. I can hit the top 5 pretty consistent but one is ridiculous.

thanks for the reply, i must have overlooked that when reading the notes.

I do agree that not everybody who enters a fleet action should get the trophy as it should be something you have to work for, and i dont mind them not being retroactive as it gives me and other people a reason to do them again.

However I do believe that first place only seams too restrictive. The people who finish second and third will have put in just as much effort as the one who finishes top and you can spend and hour or two playing these missions only to get nothing as a reward because the person above you might have just done more damage or just been in the right place at the right time.

It would be nice if second and third place people could get a trophy as well.

I was looking forward to doing the fleet actions again but some of them need a good 10 people to complete in any kind of reasonable time and chances are im not going to finish top, so its less incentive to try and do them again.

I read in the patch notes that trophies (except the fleet actions) are retroactive. How many should we have by now then? As an admiral, the only wall-trophy I had was the klingon ground combat one (though I love having a batleth hanging in my office). For the lounge, I had several mission based ones, like the fire caves and Q.

It's funny... I was thinking the one I'd really like to display is the SB24 fleet action, since I frequently have gotten 1st place there. So I only had enough time last night to go try it once... I flew out there, and got it on the first try. With my science ship. :) It's actually not hard to do.

But having one for the crystalline entity would be awesome. Since that one has a mission attached, why couldn't this one be retroactive? Or do you need the high score there too? I think this one deserves a trophy just for completing it.

starbase 24 is easy to get first place, but some of the others can take a good hour to do and you often need 10 or more people, and trying to get first place with a large group is tough. i think ive done ds9 about 5 times and im nor sure i ever hit top, as often you join as its part done and dont stand a chance of getting first place. come back later and no ones there. to me first place only is too restrictive.
i still think second and third place should get something because your still doing the work, its often just luck if the guy above you gets more points. maybe even a smaller trophy to represent the silver and bronze system. thats just my view.

To be honest, they need to:
a) relax the criteria for receiving a reward in a fleet action.
AND
b) they need to count contributions other than damage to the fight.

Reasons:
a) In the later fleet actions, where it takes a large team and a ton of time to complete, it's ridiculous that a team of 15 people can work for ages on an action, and most of 'em walk away with weapon batteries or something equally valueless.

b) In a fleet action, escorts are almost worthless without a support cruiser, and only half as good without a Sci-dude doing "confusion to the enemy, muahahahaha!". Seriously... they should count all bonus damage from debuffs on enemies or buffs on team for the person who threw the de/buff.


I honestly don't know what Cryptic was thinking when they designed the system this way. Missing out on rewards and achievements because you decided to play a team-role (shock and horror... how could I believe that MMO's might actually reward teamwork!) rather than a DPS bunny is NOT incentive to repeat the activity ad nauseum hoping to get lucky. The current implementation of fleet actions is a rather unsettling flashback to the very WORST aspects of WoW raiding.

And yes... before you /flame me, I'm well aware that the cruisers and sci's wouldn't be much good without the escorts either. It just grates that a large proportion of the reward systems are based on damage dealt. Come on, Cryptic! This problem has been identified in multiple MMO's, years before STO was even started! I know they've started including healing in some stuff now, but this should have been done at the DESIGN phase! It's not like the group activities are exactly original....

I'm having the exact same problem... Anybody know why this might be? Is there a lag time until the trophy is unlocked?

Well i was first in several fleet actions and yet have trophies for :rolleyes:

[Archived Post]

I participated in about 5 or 6 of the starbase 24 fleet actions in a row, watching the tac/escort captains win each time. I'm a sci captain in a star cruiser who usually ends up dead beacuse he used all his healing powers on other players. I decided if I was ever gonna see that trophy I would have to change ships. I spent 240k credits on a T5 advanced escort, came right back, and won. I don't have any skill points in cannons or escort captain but i was fortunate enough to be the first player on scene when the fight began. So.. if you change ships and get a head start, it's possible. I did refrain from healing anybody but myself that run however.

I enjoyed flying the escort enough that i purpled it up and am still using it as my main. I seem to get more drops with it in gamma orionis borg fights now too. Easily repayed the credits I spent. I don't feel bad about winning the trophy under irregular circumstances either, because I have been doing "the right thing" as a healer for ages, and I deserve it.

You didn't get that trophy for completing the mission, you got it for completing the optional side mission (saving all the injured crew on the Azure).
