Hey. What is your opinion of the Undine for PVE Queues reputation is less than for the other marks PVE queus. Infected Conduit Elite 75 marks. Undine Assault Elite 35 marks. This is really something stupid. I do not know how the rest of you, but in my view it is quite unbalanced. Thank you.

    The Undine Battlezone is the best source for Marks, but the Undine Assault Elite seems to be in line with the other Reputation events excluding Omega events. So the STFs are unbalanced with the rest of the content.

    The reason STFs are paying out higher than other queued missions is because they are considered to be our "raids."

    If you look at the queues, you will already see that there are 0 (ZERO) people playing the Undine STFs. This is while it is still new, and everyone needs the marks.
    Not like nukura and romulan that died off after people had finished, this is dead with no one finished.

    I completely agree, the new Undine STFs are actually quiet horrible, except for Viscous Cycle. Overall the mark rewards are horrible, so bad that it's not worth playing them more than once. Undine Infiltration is fun but time consuming because of all the interracting and for what, 30mks? Then there's Undine Assault, I played this once in tribble and will never play it again. No thanks, I'm not intersted in STFs that give players no instructions on how to play, nor do I like STFs where enemies continually spawn. I don't know how many marks it gives out, but I can tell you if it gave out 200mks I still wouldn't play it.

    I will stick to borg STFs and borg STFs only. They should just make a mark converter for us so we can covert borg marks to the reputation we need. Just like romulan marks, hard to get unless you raise the pets.

    I do one queued undine mission per day per character just to get the bonus marks. Otherwise, I do not to do more than that. The battlezone isn't as lucrative as the voth ground zone so I don't do that much either.

    I looked at the queues. And saw more than zero people playing the Undine STFs. I've not seen them at zero the entire time they've been live thus far.

    Infiltration is pretty quick. The interaction goes fast. The ground combat goes fast.

    I'm guessing you dislike UA because of the continual spawns? Because it gives out instructions right at the beginning. Not sure why you mentioned the instructions thing, as all three Undine encounters give out instructions.

    Gives out the same as Viscous Cycle.

    They're not going to do that. Ever.

    Romulan Marks are a lot easier to get now with the daily bonus.

    .

    1. I do. A Lot.

    2. Its pretty quick compared to Undine Space. Still only gives 30-35 odd marks.

    3. Probably spawns? :)

    4. Which is only 35 odd.

    The point is, they all give very low marks compared to the time it takes to do them. (Ground is the best time/point ratio).

    If you need Undine marks just do the battle zone. A complete run (including the once a day bonus) will net you 150+ marks in 20 - 30 minutes which in turn will fuel your characters 20 hour rep project for 5 days.

    meh, another thread about how the queues need rewards that adapt based on popularity rather than just being "set".

    What? I think you're in the wrong thread.

    nope, right thread. you just lack understanding.

    a system that dynamically adjusted rewards up in under-populated queues, and adjusted them down in over populated queues,
    would result in rewarding those events based on the time/effort players need to use to complete them, since many players want the quickest most effective way to acquire marks/dil.

    That would be great. This would also help newer players, newer toons when the existing playerbase, older toons have moved on like locusts :cool:

    Couldn't possibly care any less, since queues suck and the Undine Battlezone hands out plenty of marks. :cool:

    I don't believe you. At all. Every time I've logged in since the season went live there's been activity in the undine queues. With posted wait times. And people playing and queuing. There's people in them right now.

    They give roughly the same marks you get from ALL other content except the Borg STFs.

    They're not going to give 75 marks.

    35 is in line with everything else.

    If you want more marks, do the battlezone. You can stack up more marks that way. If marks is what you want.

    Do not stress my little kitten. I understood perfectly, that's how i know you're in the wrong thread.
    The OP was merely stated that Undine STF gave lower marks than borg STFs.
    I merely stated that the queues for Undine are empty.
    Is that because of low marks? Maybe. Maybe not.

    YOU are the one that brought in your idea to base marks on how many people are in a queue.
    Before you, nothing even remotely close was said.

    So now my fuzzy kitten, understanding dawns on you that you are in the wrong thread, yes?


    I don't believe you. At all. Every time I've logged in since the season went live there's been activity in the undine queues. With posted wait times. And people playing and queuing. There's people in them right now.

    Interesting, so your beliefs magically makes things true? Can you 'believe' I am married to Jessica Alba please?
    What you believe makes zero difference on fact.
    Maybe, just maybe, when little boys and girls go to sleep, the world doesn't just stop, but actually keeps going. And maybe less people play, and so maybe there are times when no one is playing Undine STFs.


    Obviously we are in different time zones and more people are on when you play.
    Damn man.

    As of now, there are 5 people playing Undine STF. There are 40 doing a borg STF. Even though Undine is brand new and no one has finished their rep yet.

    Can you look at borg STF next time and compare their numbers?

    What about the Battle Zone? Athe Air one, not the ground? ... You run around and activate KDF, Fed and Rom machines and fight off Undine ships ... Kinda like a RA ... First time I did, i got like 200+ marks, can't see an issue really ...

    My biggest problem is I'm so sick of Borg STF's !And Defara!

    i wish there was a "tower control" type map or zone for Omega Marks ... That would be awesome ... Or perhaps a Combined Undine/Borg map/zone where you fight either or both and even ... :eek: ... Assimilated Undine as a "Boss" (please no more dino's with froicken lazuer beemz)
    Oh, hoho hohhhhh, Oh,, hoho, hohhhhh

    And the fact is, the Undine queues have people in them. All day. Every day. Every single time I check they have a number greater than zero.

    Facts. > Your lies.
    As of now, there are 5 people playing Undine STF.

    And there it is. There are 5 people. 5 is more than zero.

    Facts prevail.
