Im absolutely mortified and horrified at the build on tribble. Either cryptic are trying to insult the player base or someone somewhere thought this would be fun. I strongly suggest testing the tribble build as you know what cryptic are like for pushing through changes we dont want but i fear for the future of the game with the build on tribble. I ask nicely here and now for a dev to come and explain what feedback demanded these changes on tribble ? i really am feeling down now that my favourite game will be no more soon

What changes specifically are you referring to that have you so upset?

The ones that means he has to adapt?

What? It's the brutal truth.
And the changes aren't that nightmarish...

ive got no problem to adapting. My point is the changes to DPS and energy, changes to healing, changes to stacking etc. Just monitor TTS channel and a loot of people are unhappy. Go and test it yourself. It really is a horrible joke of a build that someone thought would be fun

I'm a LTS - so I'm here for the long haul, but in all honesty, if I werwe still month to month, this wouldn't cause me to canel my subscription.

For me, if anything the changes made the game EASIER for me (Captain 3 with a Tier 4 Engineering Cruiser). Before on Elite - I could never take out a Battleship of any kind on Elite without a MAJOR difficulty - and I'd still get dinged on 'Advanced'.

Now (and I've been doing a LOT of testing on Tribble yesterday night and today) - going for the Delta Volanis accolaade and all the instance ships I'm fighting are bbeing scaled to match my level) - 'Advanced' plays like 'Normal' did before these changes; and overall Elite is actually now a decent challenge, but still very doable. I guess it's a combo of the new weapon drain change that allows you to fire more beams more often, and the overall boost Cruisers got.

I also like some of the power synergy changes as now some powers that went on a short cooldown cooldown (like Boarding Party I and Engineering Team I used to be related in this way) no longer have that (In other words they modified the relaytionships beytween some BO powers).

YMMV - but again, PVE Space combat (for me) got overall easier. Since there IS an Elite setting, I'm fine with it, but I also guess it depends on yourShip Build, Equipment and BO Power selection. Like any MMO, when they do a system balancing overhaul (which is what this is); it means you may need to adjust your setup.

But overall, so far I like the changes; but if they decided not to go with them, I'd be okay with it too; that said, with a rebalance path like this, no matter what further tweaks they do, they aren't just goping to abandon the changes whole hog. Most of the time, changes of this type are done based on datamined info DIRECTLY from the Live server logs.

I've tested it... It is diffrent but it is no where near horrible...

Im a Lifer and I play a Liberated Borg in the game... I Will adapt... And keep my account with a happy drone at my controls.

id still kindly ask a dev to explain why these changes are needed ? it concerns me that bugs are not being fixed as higher priority is being given to these unwanted changes. Id appreciate more if cryptic worked on bugs and content. I really really dont see the problem with dps/energy/stacking

A lot of people on the forum being unhappy is still not well... A lot.
Forum users are always the minority.

Tested a bit and had horror stories thrown in the face on msn.
It's just... A change nothing else.
Besides the increased zoom in the ship tailor far outweighs all the bad stuff in the patch notes.

i do think personally carriers/cruisers/battlecruisers will be dead and i can see everyone playing escort. Wheres the fun in that ? wheres the variety in this game ?

How can we be so quick to evaluate the new changes?
Give it at least a week of testing.
