I'm impressed.

A lot of really good fixes, hopefully the toned down Cubes/Tac cubes and damage of STF Borg in general will help compensate for the new death timer & overall reduction in shield capacities.


Looking forward to my MVAE pets to actually fly in formation.

...but not the spelling of the word "hangar" in the patch notes, lolz. :p

/GergeTakei Oh my...

Guess we won't be seeing *these* on the Exchange...

Good.

Again, this is good. Ferengi trash should not pollute the Empire.

This is excellent. This will promote actual teamwork and less mindless Zerging.

I thought I read somewhere that the timer was supposed to be 5 minutes. I think this is where it should be instead of 3.

This is also awesome. And this will also promote survival. If you don’t want to go hunting around for your loot bag, you shouldn’t be dying.

I hope this will not be increased TOO much. Some of us worked hard for our gear. It would not mean as much if literally everyone is running around with it on. When you increased the rare tech “slightly” I now get spammed with it constantly. I have in upwards of 30+ rare techs in my inventory at all times that I cash in regularly to max out my 8k dilithium per day.

Good. This creates more of a challenge. The ONLY thing I can see with this is when tested on tribble, the Borg tend to respawn in the upper areas after a while. As long as respawns do not screw with the timer, we will be all right.

Finally . . . KAGE will actually be somewhat of a challenge. Right now KAGE is WAY too easy. Try to form a group for CGE or IGE and its slow going. Put a single call-out for KAGE and you get spammed with 50,000 replies from lazy folks who want to do nothing BUT KAGE. I am hoping this will even things up a bit and not make KAGE such a lazy gathering point for EDC farmers.


Nice. I might actually start using my pets in STFs now. I never launched them before because they never attacked gates. It will be good to get a little more DPS on such tasks.


I do not think this was needed. The Borg Collective is already so easy to fight that there are no thought processes or strategy put into it. We just run through plowing over them as if they were nothing.


. . . Why? Have you SEEN how fast we can take a cube down? It takes a simple KDF Raptor with hardly any defenses 3.2 seconds to take down a standard storyline mission cube. According to my parser, it takes the same Raptor only 10 seconds to completely off an STF cube solo, without any help from teammates at all. I can’t solo a TAC cube, but the team is usually on that anyway, and it goes down insanely fast. I honestly believe the ONLY thing with cubes that needed addressed were the invisible 1-shot torpedoes, which the Devs did already say they were addressing in this next patch, which is awesome. Other than that, PLEASE quit reducing the Borg’s damage. They are already boring enough to fight.

Hahahah nice catch. I always proofread the notes, but this one slipped by me. (As did that other one someone else pointed out but I forgot just now.)

And I thought I was memorable.

Just finished reading the Rel;ease Notes.

Haven';t been here in a whoile but when I heard the Gold boxes would go back to being bound, I made sure to rush over here and get more detils. I am glad it is just Bind on Pickup and not Bound to whatherver character you current have it linked to in inventory.

In eiother event, I made sure to send many of my Gold loickboxes over to my new Captained Ferengi. Hopefully he will finally get a ship worthy of the name ... Profit.

You realize that there are some of us who played constantly since December and not even have a single MK12 piece after 600 and 800 STFs? You know how frustrating that makes us, especially with you bragging of "I got so much tech that I trash them" attitude?

This is why many hardcore people are quitting, because we are getting nothing for our effort.

are these the patch notes that are going live now ???

You completely misread what I posted. I wasn't bragging at all. I just said I hope they don’t make it TOO much easier like they did the rare tech. I SUPPORT increased drop rates. I just wanted to put in feedback that I hope they don’t make them as common as they did the rare tech. There needs to be a compromise that rewards those who stuck with the program and grinded for their gear, balanced with keeping it rare as it should be. I have 4 more characters and their bridge officers to get their Mk XII gear, and I think it WOULD be nice to have an increased drop rate - just not AS much as they did with the rare tech.
