Borg Invasions should have been...

[Archived Post]

Borg Invasions should have been moving encounters. They should have just replaced 3/4 of each sectors Encounters with Borg Encounters which take you to the invasion instance for that sector. To mix up the danger, they should have then turned back on the Encounter Chase and "Suck You In" AI for them, like they used to be in the beginning.

This would have made a much more enjoyable experience, getting to these "invasions." I have only done 3 so far, well 4, one was a fail. I am already sick of this "waiting game" or the "chase game" only to get there too late.

In it's current form, this event should have been named "To Catch a Borg" or "Borg in a Haystack" or "Warp n' Borg." This doesn't feel like an invasion at all.


Mind you, once inside the borg instances, it is great fun. The wait, chase and rewards just do not make it enjoyable to me.

I don't know, I see your point but I like the spontaneity of the missions, it's different and I think we should have random stuff like this.

Also, why do none of the borg ships drop any loot?

What is the point of doing these once the daily and the accolades are done then? I'd much rather have loot than XP bonuses...

Well, you get a guaranteed higher quality item every time you complete it... so you do get loot, if you so choose. Guess Cryptic didn't want people complaining they're running out of time cause people were too busy looking over loot in the middle of the encounter.

I had the same original complaint, but your reason makes sense. My other problem with this is it is far to easy. I did it with 5 other ships and we finished well under the time limit. The boss ship didn't even take 3 minutes for us to knock out. I don't think I took a single hit at all. Cryptic needs to make it longer and tougher. I have to say, given the wait, I was pretty disappointed.

Maybe low level characters would have a problem than. Sure there is a up-scaling for them to match but they still miss the additional weapon and boff slits. So dps maybe a issue for low level players if the Borg are "too hard" ...

The thing is, you only get the loot once, when you complete the daily. I've completed several a second time around, with no daily quest available. I did not get any "rewards" those times around. This is my issue, the replay value beyond the accolades and daily.
