Gamma Marks Suggestions

So, I am having problems trying to get Gamma Marks. Either no one is in the Gamma Quadrant, or I am off line when everyone else is in the GQ. But can we get some repeatable GQ missions for Gamma Marks please?

    Gamma Quad alerts are soloable.

    How do you solo an alert when you have to have 5 players total?

    It´s starting with less than 5. You just have to wait a bit. But it will start with you alone.
    Other then that, Random TFO includes the Swarm. So just queue for Swarm and be fine.

    The gamma waiting zone was always going to fall foul of player numbers due to having only group content tied to it rather than any solo stuff (even for fewer marks/bar progression). Made worse by the fact a gamma recruits alt rewards can pretty much cap a single rep without going near that reps content because they were so lazily done.

    If you're after marks for gear then faster to just do random TFO's and use the reward box to get your marks.

    Likewise marks for the daily clickfest as it's slightly less monotonous.

    I waited an hour for one of the Gamma missions and nothing happened.

    You queued up for "Swarm" and you waited over an hour and nothing happened?
    Isn't "Swarm" part of the Random TFO system????

    That is a bug if you had to wait that long.

    I think he means the Hur'q resistance queues in the Gamma quad

    Lie

    Quite possible. I've waited 40 minutes a couple of times.

    They are supposed to initiate regardless of whether there is 5 players or 1, usually after 2 minutes I believe.

    Yeah waiting an hour for a gamma zone queue to pop is nonsense. Those usually launch right away, even if you're the only player.

    Why don't you just do the Swarm queue? Or Starbase One, which is very popular right now.

    RTFOs (I still call TFOs STFs) give a mark choice box of varying size. But its still a pretty decent haul.

    delta quad battle missions pop so long as your int he right space box. the mobs inside spawn based on party size... you can do it by yourself with zero help. they might of broken things when they added the random crud. /shrug

    I don't go to Gamma quad at all...since there were no DOFFing assignments in sight. Did they make the entire thing a battle zone? And now it is not working?

    Swarm advanced is all you'll ever need when it comes to gamma marks.
    When you see "TRIBBLE" in my posts, it's because I manually typed "TRIBBLE" and censored myself.

    I believe you can do Discovery Queues and they will let you choose Gamma Marks. They only added Gamma Marks to other Queues after they first added them to Discovery Queues. By the time the were added to Red Alerts, those had become Blue Moon Red Alerts.

    Now you can also get them as the post-Ship Unlock Bonus 'Fastest Game on Ice' Race. 40 Marks for your enjoyment.

    To expand on that note.

    Once an event item is unlocked for the account alts can also run the daily event task for marks regardless of their level so you can get a headstart on those reps with poorer options for gaining marks such as comp rep as low as level 10.
