Patch 08/11 - Regen on Personal Shields broken?

[Archived Post]

Just doing the mission on Goralis III, Seeds of Dissent, and I noticed that my personal shields aren't regenerating after 3 secs like they should. Instead they are regenerating at the same speed that health does out of combat. During combat I don't think they are regenerating at all. :confused:

I'm going to try re-logging to see if this is just a fluke, but I thought I'd put this out there if anyone else has noticed this since the patch today.

[Archived Post]

Yes, encountered the same thing doing "Asset Recovery" in the borg sector. Makes life fun when you play on Elite.

[Archived Post]

Yup got this aswell. Even tried to switch shields, but they do not regenerate at all during combat...

[Archived Post]

They do not even regenerate at all even long after combat... Shield charges and CPR still work as intended...

[Archived Post]

They do regenerate, but laughably slow. To the point where you can say they don't, as only Shield Recharge is useful at the moment.
I only hope Cryptic's going to fix this soon in an emergency maintenance, and not after a week or so -_-

[Archived Post]

I can confirm. Every member of my fleet is affected by this.

[Archived Post]

So it looks like this is for sure an issue then...

Just to update, I've now re-logged (exited game) and am on a completely different mission and this is still happening. Even tried re-equipping shields, problem persists.

How do we get an GM or Dev to acknowledge this issue? Do they monitor this section of the forums?

[Archived Post]

Looks like I'm affected too. ticket #1.177.272

if you re equip your shield out of combat you kind of recharge it. better than to waste your shield heals. :)

[Archived Post]

Yup, same here. Shield regens only up to 23 points and thats it. Or maybe its 1/10th of the full shield strength.

[Archived Post]

Aye.

Just ran infected on my kdf sci char and my shield bar was pretty much blank the entire run including my teammates shield bars.

The large shield charges seemed to still work though for ground, had plenty of those on hand woot lol.

Also I was using the phase shifted mk xi shield.

[Archived Post]

Personal Shield's natural regen is not working. Armor passive RegSH and Liberated Borg Nanites still do their regen ticks which results for one of my characters with a 2.86/sec regen average.

Shield recharge abilities still work.

[Archived Post]

EDIT: Nvm he just answered my question

I can confirm this as well, the regen bonus granted from my BOff's Shield Generator Fabrication also was working. It just seems that the base regen of personal shields is what's borked.

[Archived Post]

no regen for me, tried diffrrent sheilds but they wont reg in battle, out of battle, the only way they will work if is if you beam to ship and beam down again

[Archived Post]

Confirmed, this is rediculous! Learn 2 program, Cryptic!!!

[Archived Post]

Same here....no shield regen.:(

[Archived Post]

Same here, also found my BO's are being duplicated when on my bridge

I managed to clone one of my BO, now i have 2 borgs ;)

[Archived Post]

Same here.

[Archived Post]

Doing STFs without shields was a different challenge.
Thanks for this new feature so engineers have a new sense in life called shield recharge.

[Archived Post]

Yep, definitely broken. Coliseum, the regen spores are working fine, thank you for that fix, But shields don't regenerate on their own. Thanks for fixing one thing while breaking another, Cryptic.

[Archived Post]

After the nerf on Turrets my Engineers were feeling unnecessary & unwanted. Tactical became the goto guy on ground. But with the sheild regen nerf, the balance has shifted again.

Thank you cryptic! Engineers are once again an important part of any ground team!

Ahhhh so this is a "feature" not a bug :p :D

[Archived Post]

THIS BUG NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.

Just saying

[Archived Post]

Dear Cryptic.... what the f*** is wrong with you?

Last week we got a patch that addet actually absolutley NOTHING but Buggs. KNOWN bugs that were reportet at Tribble.

This week we get antother Patch that fixes NONE of the old bugs chat is still broken, adds EVEN MORE bugs, this time that gamebraking enough to make 50% of the game unplayable, and this time AGAIN issues REPORTET ON TRIBBLE.
Shield cant recharge doesnt work, the Bridge is messed up and I even heir people in Zone chat complaining about beeing unable to purchase ships---- and what did we get? That patch again addet NOTHING but slightly diffrent colored cubes...

Do you throw out any crap that is on Tribble no matter how it brakes the game,.... just for the purpose of patching anything on thursday? What is the point in that? Sorry, dont get it.

[Archived Post]

Had this issue today, as well. I stood in the same spot for 15 seconds, and neithermy shields nor my BOffs regenerated.

BOOOOOOOO.

[Archived Post]

What the heck is this, no shields on ground combat after a 400 meg patch? You need to address this immediatley

[Archived Post]

just had this problem in a ground pvp match. please fix

[Archived Post]

I'm having the same problem as well. Have done about 4 ground missions today so far and my shields won't recharge at all.

Also I can't do any foundry missions because when I do my computer crashes.

Wow...get a patch and the game falls apart. Sad really.

[Archived Post]

This is affecting me as well -- I hope it can be alleviated with a patch later today.

[Archived Post]

Another confirmed. Personal shields not regening long after combat is over while doing the mission "Frozen".

[Archived Post]

yep, personal shields acting very wonky. my shields were regenerating very slowly, while some boff shields, not at all.

[Archived Post]

*sigh* another great patch cryptic, hurray!

[Archived Post]

Confirmed.

Just ran Infected, it was quite fun with shields not regenning. We got around it by breaking combat and removing and replacing our shields (which put them back to full again), as well as used lots and lots of shield recharges. This is a pretty major bug though and needs fixinf ASAP.

[Archived Post]

Well, I guess I know what game I'm NOT going to be playing tonight. Perhaps I'll swing in gamestop on the way home and see if they have anything decent for 360.

Cryptic... if you read this please know. I've been playing for a little over a month now. Maxed out a character, ran out of new things to do and every week there is a new bug. I'm this close to just cancelling my subscription completely and walking away.

[Archived Post]

So anything about going ahead and fixing these...? Or will you be rolling back the server??? I think a nice oh, we are aware of this and are actively working on it would be nice.... but that's my 2 cents....

If cryptic knew about this bug and others but still released this patch... I'm at a loss for words...

I just hope that's not true.

[Archived Post]

I don't recall this shield bug being on Tribble and the tribble bug report forums has one topic on the subject that started today when the patch was already rolled out. So I don't think they knew about this particular bug before hand.

[Archived Post]

Wish replied in another thread so I think it's safe to assume things are in-process:

http://forums.startrekonline.com/showthread.php?p=3694585#post3694585

Not going to play for the time being just in case there is a rollback.

[Archived Post]

They redirected us here...odd think they might talk to us about this.... :mad:

[Archived Post]

yea ran infected with suricata,it was a royal pain in the backside and won't do anymore stf's until its fixed.
i'd advise you to save yourselves the pain and do the same.

no ground combat period....

[Archived Post]

Same problem here. Please fix soonest.

[Archived Post]

Same here. My Char and my BOs are affected.

[Archived Post]

Since the update for today I've noticed a strange occurance with the Cover Shield... It is not appearing in front of your toon like before, it seems to appear in random locations around your character each time summoned... Sometimes it appears in a location that hangs your toon up within it's geometry so you can't move after summoning it...

This happening to anyone else?

It's occuring on my Orion Engineer... Regardless of what ground mission...

D

[Archived Post]

I have the impression that not just the should reg is effectet... I died that quick the shields wouldnt even have had time to regenerate if they could... that happened multible times on enemys that usually are not a big deal...

[Archived Post]

I am getting the feeling Vegas is looming this is not.... :D

[Archived Post]

Strange, I am having problems with personal shield regeneration, as in they do not regererate, all my crew use phase-shifted personal shields, they have +500% regeneration, and they worked fine yesterday before the patch.

[Archived Post]

The are totally broken. For love of latnium and the prime directive Hot fix this!

[Archived Post]

Hey guys!

QA are super-busy, but Zero told me that we're investigating and working on this one!

[Archived Post]

My shields go down so fast and so often that I probly wouldnt notice the bug anyway. lol I'd love it if they would make ground shields stronger.

[Archived Post]

On a maybe related note: The Borg Neural Blast Trait was 'fixed' from 228 shield reg per cycle to a more reasonable 4.725 shield reg per cycle on my preorder boff.

Coincidence? I think not! :D

[Archived Post]

Hey guys!

Good...I just hope it gets fixed today...or before you all go to Vegas...lol... btw... I thought Borg probes were supposed to look different...they don't...what's that about?....

[Archived Post]

Just thought i'd throw my voice in.

Just encoutered it myself. Definatly no regen on any of the personal shields.
Doesn't matter if you are behind cover or not .

[Archived Post]

Same here. With no shield regeneration, it is keeping my Engineer BOffs busy just keeping the rest of the Away Team shielded.

[Archived Post]

Yeah, this bug makes it nearly if not impossible to play ground missions on Advanced or Elite.

[Archived Post]

Still nothing else from them as far as a fix?... this is too widespread to be a localized incident.... Why can they just not roll back the server?..... that way they can figure it out without having all this mess...meanwhile many people cannot do much of anything because of this ground shield bug nonsense....

[Archived Post]

It would be nice if they were adjusted back upwards at least a little (20% ?).

Why can't they rollback the server? For the same reasion they rolled it ouit in the state it was in (knowing about some issues and not others) - namely; part of this build contained backend changes needed for network infrastructure changes related to Cryptic migrating to Perfect World's VPN setup.

As the Devs have stated QA is busy and looking into the ground shields issue. They need to identify the issue, code a fix, and then test that fix tomake sure it doesn't make things worse or break other stuff as a result. It's probably going to be a day or two.

[Archived Post]

There are clones of my bridge officers!!! WTF?!?

[Archived Post]

Yes there is a clone of your Boff's on your bridge issue and shields not regenerating

[Archived Post]

There are clones of my bridge officers!!! WTF?!?

stop drinking Romulan Ale and you wont see double :P

[Archived Post]

Yes I have to remove and equip my shield generator after every engagement to have shields for the next.
And is it just me or did my character suddenly lose 20 lbs?

Also I've been doing fine on ground missions by just popping off a shot or two then hiding and repeating as their shields dont regen either.

[Archived Post]

No, no, no - your transporter chief just borked the maintenece on your ship's transporter (introducing a problem first seem back in the 23rd century - see the TOS episode Turnabout Intruder) - but he didn't want to get put on report again, so he's hoping you don't notice. :eek:;):p

[Archived Post]

It's probably going to be a day or two.
We really, really hope it'll be a couple of hours from now. I'll head home, grab some dinner and come back after to check in once more, see you all in a few!

[Archived Post]

Confirmed here, too. If I use power to shields or a shield turret they regen but otherwise there is no regen at all.

[Archived Post]

I have the impression that not just the should reg is effectet... I died that quick the shields wouldnt even have had time to regenerate if they could... that happened multible times on enemys that usually are not a big deal...

Agreed, the whole levelling of the npc's is out of whack. i should not be one shotted by and ensign and die! :mad:

[Archived Post]

Guess that's the maintenance then.

I wondered why i died a ton during a couple of ground missions this afternoon. I just thought I was off my game a bit. ;)

[Archived Post]

I saw someone say on ESD if you unequip the shield then get totally out of the game and then re log back on and then equip the shield that this seemed to work. But i am hoping that the maintence does the job instead cuz its a pain to log in and out just for a shield.

[Archived Post]

fixed ? hope so,new ground combat is pretty useless like this.

[Archived Post]

Help, got 7 borg officers now, And no sheild. I just wana save my original crew, and i would be ****ed if they are forever lost now :(

Maybe your "liberated" borg BOff is actually infiltrating, and started assimilating the crew. An early part of the big Borg invasion perhaps? ;)

Hehehe. Your BOffs are still there when you beam down, and assigned on your ship in space, even if they don't show on the bridge.

Still... creepy to see four Narikos on Ishaka's bridge. The whole ship would be violated with nanoprobes within a day, and the reports filing in about repliicators and other things sassing crewmembers, computers making corny comments, the works. :p
