I know, another Reputation complaint thread....

dragnridr

I have no problem with getting items for the rep system. Earning marks, farming Dil (even with the STUPID Limit on how much you can refine a day), and getting items needed. My one MAJOR complaint that I have is lose the 20 hour timer. If I am sitting on enough items and mark to complete a project, give it about 2-6 hour timer so I can keep going getting more stuff for my next project. It (the 20 hour timer) is the only reason all 5 of my "Captains" are still stuck at tier 1/2 on almost all of their Reputation.

Didn't [Cryptic] say they were going to make it easier to gain Reputation, not keep us waiting for 20 hours on 2 projects to complete and yet some projects can't be completed without others being done?

Until the timer has been removed, I will only focus on one Rep, which is the Dyson Rep until it is maxed, then I will focus on another. PLEASE, oh, PLEASE, Cryptic, lose the 20 hour timer on projects.

What they said was that they're making it easier to gain reputation for people with multiple characters. What they've done is this system where completing Tier 5 gets you basically a coupon you can put into your account bank that makes future rep projects earn double points.

I honestly don't mind running the rep system for each captain....I just get tired of the 20 hours wait between each project. They give us a coupon for double xp for alts but that still doesn't change the fact it'll take your alts 20 hours between projects.

Honestly, do the math, would you rather wait only 2 hrs between projects to get to your Tier 5 rep or 20 hrs between each project making the time spending building up to Tier 5 10x longer? So getting double rep xp really doesn't do squat while your lounging about waiting.

That is what I'm complaining about.

I have been playing since April of this year.

I have 7 toons at level 50

Five are done with all the reps except the new one (one has 3 days left on romulan tier 5, so i count it as pretty much done)

The other two are in tier 4 working on tier 5 across all three of the older reps.

The 20 hour timer has allowed me to log in each toon ONCE, and fill their rep missions, collect the 1440 dilithium ore, and switch to the next. One run through about 30-45 minutes and all my toons have their doffs and reps set up for the whole day. Then i can play, grind, make money, pvp, do whatever I wanna do. All I have to do is make sure before I am done for the day that i have enough marks and commodities for tomorrows slotting on each toon. Which usually isnt hard. One ISE, one CCE, two elachi alerts and a run through a foundry mission for a little EC (about 20-30 minutes depending on how good the teams are in the STF and entity) for each toon thats actively repping. Everything else is dilithium farming and playing for the sake of playing.

Personally, I like the 20 hour timer. It gives me time to do things other than rep grind all day long (like the new voth rep is seeming to be)

I would rather have a combination of both, 2 1hour projects and 2 20hour projects, I dont have the luxury of always been able to log on so a large 20hour project helps me.
