Instances

[Random19]

If there are instances in the final game, what would you like them to be? For me I would love to see the Doomsday Machine instance and a TWOK instance.

[Trekkie]

You have some great ideas! I think that it would be neat if some of the more difficult instances were centered around elements from the Star Trek films, since the threats posed in them were usually a bit more potent than the problems encountered on the television shows.

Maybe a First Contact instance?

I would LOVE to see a Mirror, Mirror instance myself.

A V'ger instance prehaps?

Considering what V'ger did to those beautiful D7s, I think I'll pass!;)

lol. It would however be a pretty challenging instance.

Maybe one where the Alpha quadrent has been taken over by the Borg,and the last surviving "federation or klingon" ship would have to do the sling shot around the sun,and go back in time to find the key moment where it all went wrong,and stop it from happening again.

And maybe even run into your self,and get help from them.

I certainly expect to see instances like this.

One thing I am sure they will have to also tie into the 'instancing' is having your ship 'instance' with you while you are on away missions -- less your ship could be attacked while you are away.

I like the various ideas listed here, and I think Cryptic could really go far with these ideas. I would prefer to see more of the 'away team' content to be like this, rather than just randomly running around a forest of Pretty Giant Mushrooms, etc.

I certainly want to see dungeon crawls on Borg cubes, alien ships, strange 'portals' to some mini-verse content -- ie flashbacks to 1800 earth, or something, etc.

Personally, I would love a mirror universe instance, and maybe one where you borad a Borg ship too!

[Random19]

Yeh a mirror universe one would be neat, like where you encounter a wormhole and you are sucked through it into the mirror universe and you try to get out. I would like them to do something new, I dont want to see stuff that you have seen characters do 100 times over in star trek episodes.

Whoa, what if they make instances that can be randomised? So you never experience the same thing over and over. Say there is an instance where you have to save planet X from an invasion from the species X. Once you discover a new planet and species they automatically become part of the variable for the instance.

What would the hardest instance be?

What would the hardest instance be?

I wish that every instance are difficult, rather than coddling pacifiers MMOs have been passing off as of late. In general, there needs to be less 'forumula = Success' and more variability to increase the challenge. I hope Cryptic is not afraid to let their players experience failure, and the subsequence increased joy that comes with a sense of accomplishment -- instead of being 'handed' victory after victory and pretending its an accomplishment.

The first time a Boss mob was placed on 'Farm Status', should have been a signal that its too easy and time to tweak up the difficulty.

It is going to suck to listen to the 'Borg Cube' or 'Species Space' on FARM STATUS. :mad:

[Random19]

To prevent a person doing an easy instance over and over again for the loot there needs to be a medium to long lockout on the instance after completion.

Think they should have pre-quests? Like in an invasion instance the pre-q might be intel gathering.
