Tried to have a chat with Xter1ty while I was contrabanding this morning. Apparently pidgin only captures incoming tells not outgoing ones. Bright side there is he didn't seem to give a poo poo what I said and just went on his persecution complex tirade. Enjoy. http://pastebin.com/wJv3vfby Edit: After this exchange he muted me. So, you know, he's broken that personal rule of his about not muting people. Shame too, I was honestly trying to appeal to whatever sensibility he might have had left. Technical Analysis fucked around with this message at 16:18 on Sep 2, 2014 |

Frankenstyle posted:I knew Cryptic was big on freaky math and diminishing returns, but this goes into inverse returns. I thought something seemed weird after the vulnerability locators were accidentally set from 31.9 to 37.5 last week. So I ran some DPS checks before yesterdays fix and consistently was hitting around 13.5 K. After the fix back to 31.9 I tried it again and was getting 19.5 K. Means more room for universal consoles in the future

SKY COQ posted:It doesn't even make sense "in-universe". "Congratulations, Admiral! You are now a better admiral!" Thanks to the whole Undine boondoggle and the loss of the original Earth Spacedock, we're all being demoted down to Rear Admiral. Better earn those Vice Admiral pips back. And be thankful it was just a demotion, next time, we'll have you turn in your commbadge and phaser.

The only time damage is really acceptable is on the Spiral Wave beams and that just because they have Accx2 already, you don't get a choice on their modifiers, and they have four modifiers at a purple ranking. With disruptor and phaser procs. Also, they're Cardassian weapons and so they are inherently superior. And seriously guys, what have we told you about poo poo on the leaks page. Don't discuss it here, don't discuss it in game, that poo poo doesn't exist. Clear up your posts for Christ's sake. EDIT: Lagomorphic beat me to the punch. Still bears repeating.

XII to XIV is fine, it's upgrading the quality of the item that's going to be a bitch. That said, yeah, you aren't going to need Mk XIV gear to handle the new content. We can breeze through most STFs in undergeared fresh level 50s and still get optionals, we'll be able to handle the new content with properly geared characters. Remember, cryptic has to balance this poo poo around the people who are running beams cannons torps and sometimes mines.

I blame Perfect World. The first big dil-sink thing that came down the pipe from PWE was the R&D system, I guess it just wasn't enough of a money grab for them.

To be fair, it's not mandatory. You'll still outperform vast swaths of pubbies in PvE with the gear you have now just on the fact that they don't know how to gear, or fly, their ships.

Cure was hilarious though, the BoPs had more hull than the Raptors, and nearly as much as the cubes. And they actively redirect their shield power to their forward shields (though they technically always did that, they just never had the shield hp to make it noticeable.)

I think leaving it as :cryptic: is about as  as it gets.And yes, everything I've heard says the code base is jumbled mess that the devs need to pour through just to get an update right. Who here remembers how many updates it took to "fix" BFAW? It went from a great skill, to horribly broken, to amazingly broken, to halfway decent, to what we have today.

We're always here to help other goons, and ridicule you relentlessly for absolutely nothing. Also, to the chump who's talking poo poo about science ships, the nova/rhode island is a nice old trek aesthetic, almost looks like a shrunk down sovereign class. The new science ship is a space bottle opener, what's not to love?

Psycho Landlord posted:Ludicro, don't listen to these bads, come back to us For real, don't let the few doomsayers crying about the game being horrible get you down. It's just a few goons who are crying about the game being bad since it's new season content and that's never done right the first update. Besides, who really plays this game for the game anyway. It's about the pubbies, the game itself is a sideshow..

Asimo posted:Really, if they make Advanced queue objectives a bit less dumb so pub groups could reliably do stuff like Borg Disconnected it would... probably be alright? After playing around a while the adjustments to enemy HP from the last patch seem to be alright; dropping the shield HPs made a noticeable difference. The upgrade cash sinks are obnoxious but I'm not expecting something that directly revenue-generating to ever change, and the XP grind is doubly obnoxious, but if the playerbase could actually group and do queue to do content it would probably be less of an issue. Most of the patrol-farming quasi-exploits came about partly due to folks trying to avoid the lovely queues. That's because most pubs are bad and after one or two failures in a new STF, they'll write it off forever until they're shown how it's done.

Lagomorphic posted:There was a Voyager ep where the ship got duplicated and Harry dies. So the Harry who came home with Voyager is actually a quantum duplicate. I think that's the corpse of the real Harry whop got dumped into space IIRC. I think he even has a Voyger era uniform on in the cutscene. There's nothing more after that though so we need to wait for new content to find out for sure though. The body is really well preserved though and it begs the question of why the Kobali are just sitting on it if they're so hard up for corpses. This except The Voyager that survived was the quantum Duplicate, Harry Kim and Naomi Wildman are the only non quantum duplicate people on that ship. Well them and Seven since she wasn't on board at the time. Quantum dupe harry is the one in the tube. Unless the writers of STO miss that detail, in which case, they remember Voyager less than I do, so good on them.

Been a while since I've seen it and I'm falling into the sperg trap here, but I remember it differently. Quantum duplication happens, all matter gets duplicated, but not antimatter, dupe ship goes into a meltdown because poo poo ain't right, dupe Harry gets blown into space, dupe Naomi dies still born. Real voyager sees this helps out but uh oh, here come some vidians on long range sensors. They can't see dupe voyager because technobabble. Real voyager is getting hosed up, transfers antimatter to dupe voyager along with Original Harry and Naomi. Original voyager gets curb stomped duplicate voyager gets the gently caress out. It's never explicitly said that dupe voyager is the one that survives, but it's never said it isn't either.  done. Move along.

Torps are your "finisher" unless you're doing a gimmick torp boat. Drop shields with an energy weapon poo poo a torp onto bare hull. In a beam boat you don't use them due to firing arcs (excepting the wide arc Torps) In practice you mostly use them on escorts, combine them with torp spread or high yield if you have the space for it, and drop even more damage into your target. Newer rep Torps have procs on them that make them worth firing wether or not your targets shields are down. And in PvE it really doesn't make a difference so #yolo #fireeverything.

Queues are low because most pubbies are either sperg power leveling or casually leveling. Most ain't level 60 yet, and those that aren't are more interested in getting to 60 than running STFs.
