    Oh goodie, another nice event scheduled on patch day, and with the size and complexity of the patch coming (see Tribble release notes) it'll probably be over before the game is stable again.

    <facepalm>
    This is how the game has taught me to submit constructive criticism.

    I love how people complain about stuff that might happen before it even happens. :(

    The tribble patch is a big one and I doubt it will hit holodeck until late next week. The marks weekend will probably be extended or moved as it basically hasn't worked at all from the start.

    I ran lots of alts through colony invasion and fleet alert overnight, and neither worked properly until the normal event window came around.

    Fleet Alert was giving the non-bonus 47.

    With colony invasion, I could have sworn some of my alts got bonus and some didn't (before the event window). I'd have one in the low 50's then the next up around the 60-61.

    I kept playing anyhow, just happy people queued up.

    i dont think some people are getting their bonus and others dont so basically this problem should hit everyone, right?

    so why is it such a problem from cryptics side to just acknowledge the fact that their weekend bonus event fails miserably

    No bonus for any of the fleet events.

    If there is no word today on a fix, then we can look forward to a whole weekend of a broken event while the office is closed, and the clueless "thanks for playing the event!" closing post on Monday. :rolleyes:

    Looks like that they not even acknowledge that there is a problem with the event.

    Is cryptic.. you know..

    I can confirm no additional Omega for ISE. I just ran with both of my toons. In both cases we succeeded at completing the optional. During normal (non-regular event) this would give 60 + 15 for a total of 75. During the 3-hour event this would translate to 115. Checked Inventory and there were only 75. This tells me that the special bonus for the weekend is not working for Infected Space Elite.

    I made several posts in this thread yesterday -- some of the events are granting their bonuses, and others are not based off your reports. The team is investigating those that do not. A fix will require a patch, and I'm not sure if we'll be patching Holodeck before the event ends, unfortunately. Hopefully we'll be able to run the event again in the not-too-distant future :)

    Well... not even borg STFs are awarding bonus marks.

    Since Nukara marks are not available in much quantities, and since nothing seems to award bonus Nukara marks (Other than bonus times), what's the point anyway?

    Are you sure? I've seen reports that players did get them if they looked at their start and end mark totals in the assets tab, as the bonus was just not displaying in the loot window. Let me know if this is not the case.

    As I reported to you in my last 2 posts:

    Before the game crash I got 115 marks on ISE

    after the crash I only got 75

    Both were outside the schedule 3 hour window - so the first obviously got the bonus but the second only got the 60 + 15 - maybe my confusion is that I thought the 15 was the optional marks - or is it the bonus?

    Not sure about STFs and nukara but i just tested and can confirm that the bonus fleet marks for defera are not showing on the reward info or on my assets tab.

    What I've definitely noticed with the launcher issue as well as game stability...if I log in through Steam, I get major issues. If I log in through Arc, I have no problems with playability, login, etc. It also sounds like those that direct login have problems as well. Is there some latency built into the Arc addition that's making if the default preferred login path? Just a thought.

    I really wish people would stop using STFs as a reference point. STFs reward a random amount between 60 and 115 even without the bonus marks event, so saying "I got 115 so it's working" doesn't actually make any sense, you got what the game was going to give you anyway.

    I must say Brandon, it's very disheartening that you guys aren't going to fix this. A lot of us were really looking forward to this event because it's the only chance small fleets have to actually garner the stupidly high requirements of marks. I feel very let down.

    Ok so the system box showed 60 marks awarded - and my inventory showed 75

    This was ISE+opt

    Does this mean I got the bonus?

    I'm confused. Brandon posted that it's a problem, that they're working on a fix, and that he doesn't know if the fix will be ready before the event ends.

    How do you get "won't fix" from that?

    I am very sure. Azure Nebula, Vault Ensnared, Minetrap and all STFs are NOT awarding bonus marks. I checked, each time, multiple times, with many players. Drops are the same as normal
