STF Changes!

[Christian M. Hanson]

STFS

All STFs now feature a respawn timer that gets progressively longer every time a player dies and respawns, up to a max respawn time of 2 minutes.

The time stack will clear after 3 minutes of play without a death.

Mission completion loot bags on Space STFs will now spawn at the player’s position on the map, instead of central location on the map.

The drop rate for Mark XII Borg Tech has been increased.

Khitomer Accord Ground:
Players must now clear the majority of the the upper levels of the underground facility before they can proceed deeper into the base.

The Optional Objective timer starts after leaving the first room.

The Borg transwarp gates in the STFs are no longer immune to carrier pets.
The pets will now properly attack the transformers.

15:00 minutes from start, to achieve KA ground optional...

I guess it was too easy before...? Seriously, wtf.

Wow..another one I won't be doing outside of the fleet.

So, there goes the last ground STF that was relatively pug friendly on elite?

Unless you get REALLLLLLLLY lucky and manage to get a team that knows what they're doing .

Just wanted to report that in a PUG, we completed the KA Ground Optional in just under 15:00 minutes. We had 30 seconds to spare. The trick is to honestly shoot and run, shoot and run.
