Nobody on the team had combat logs on.

Yes, UI elements are likely contributing factor.

Just attempted two ISEs with Upper-End high-level DPSers, Spencer, Kenobi, Myself, Darthon, and Michii, and misfires & rubberbanding still occurred.

I am trying to get some DPSers together now to test to see if we have any issues. Will post back with results

(2/2)... since it might mandate that players play PvE before going into a PvP match, and that will likely hurt us in the long term.

Or more specifically, is there a database which the server can query which contains each ability and where it comes from.

It isn't even that, it's just that it isn't needed, at all right now.

Also, for the Veteran vs Newbie, spawn protection would also go a long way. I dropped something in the reporting channel on the new STO discord for spawn protection ideas. It already exists from what I can tell but needs to be applied with the right points. That and Endeavor changes would be great.

I will add that it will address quite a bit of the vet vs newbie concerns. Right now, a lot of people don't even start playing simply because it takes too long to make the difference disappear, so they never get started.

Even as a PvPer, I am pretty against this at this time.

I would love this, either an option to turn them off, or set to be the maximum would be best. I know some people who grinded them would not be thrilled (even if I disagree with them, and many who did grind them also wouldn't mind), but personally I would love this and think it's very much needed!

Alright I think that answers the question, I have a theory regarding a bug and a possible solution, but I need to gather quite a bit more data and that at least gives me some of the basics to work with. If I can get supporting data I'll send something over. Thx again.

I will say I feel like New Romulus was a missed opportunity as a Battlezone. Would be really cool to have some more diplomacy mini-missions or more anti-tal shiar mini missions there. But that might be a bit too much. Something which is optional but requires thought would fit in with the rom theme.

That buff is already in game to some extent. I cover it here, and it would be nice to see the buff used more. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

(3/3) ... a real challenging fight would be nice. One scaled to top-end DPS or Ground DPS. As for the Ker'rat and N'Vak systems, for PvP, I would add a spawn protection buff which gives dmg, hold, disable, power recharge debuff, immunity. Just so people have a chance to get off spawn... (continued)

(2/3) ... people to practice getting better at the game itself, with some coordination and so forth required to take down the boss. Coordination of Stuns, etc. Maybe a really nice fleet mark reward with a 1 day cooldown or something... There are other options for how to do that ofc, but a...

(1/3) For the PvE Battlezones, I would say they are generally alright, but I think they have, in terms of 'challenge' not aged that well. I think it would be nice to keep the existing parts of the zones more or less as is, but to add on some more challenging boss objectives which really push...
