What really hurts me being in a small fleet is the bonus it would have given to fleet marks. either way it's kind of underhanded.
I really hope this is just a oversight and encourage you to tell all your friends who knew about it to come on here and let Cryptic know that they would appreciate them maintaining what they essentially "promised"
It's really hard getting some Q's going with the Risa event - this weekend would really help! Cryptic - please put it back.
I know people say that they(cryptic) don't care or listen to what is said on the forums - but I think in some cases if enough people showed interest they may do something.
What happened to this? We've been waiting for this forever so we can finally get paid, and suddenly it's gone and replaced by 5 weeks of dead air? Is this just a display error? Because nothing was announced about this.
^Replace mark weekend with shuttle weekend and I can accept this.
Now, I agree that the shuttle weekend was fun. But I have a lot of boxes stashed away since mirror event, that I am keeping for the mark weekend. I was looking forward to empty third of my bank on that weekend.
For once, if they never changed hourly missions, we would not hoard boxes for mark weekend.

Nah we just had Shuttle Weekend ... if necessary they should change Dil Weekend (End of July) to end of June, and let us have Mark Weekend End of July instead ... otherwise it'll probably ~ 4-6 months till the next Mark Event ...
Patch Notes : Resolved an Issue, where people would accidently experience Fun.
The Elachi was just Fleet, Dyson and Romulan but now it's every kind of mark. So they combined more than removed the event. In any case the return from Elachi event is pitiful (though for the time and effort it's probably not as bad as it seems). Still we're meant to have 50% bonus which makes the original figure way too low. Might as well farm other dailies and save up for the dil event.
/sigh, I am getting more and more disappointed with Cryptic under the new management.
They know all too well that small fleets are starving for Fleet Marks so they can advance, and this event would've helped them out. So it was nice of the Dev Team to stop on their feet.
I want the hourly's back.
They really screwed us over with you don't lose and marks....
QFT .
I still hear the echoes of all the 'weekend heroes' who chimed in saying that we didn't need hourly's during the week ... , and moving to a weekend system would be great .

Cryptic apparently wants to reward less bonus marks. That is independent of whether bonus marks are given on weekends or hourly.
For lowernig the amount of bonus marks, they could just as well have lowered the amount of bonus marks granted in the hourlies down to 20 %.
Also note that (even if it's inconvenient because it clutters your inventory and bank), you get mark boxes now, that you can keep in your inventory until such an event comes along. (And yes, this works, at least it did on the Romulan event).

Cryptic apparently wants to reward less bonus marks.
- Cryptic apparently wants to reward less Dilithium . (STF optional BNP's / private PVP matches / Foundry wrapper mission)
- Cryptic apparently wants to reward less XP . ( see the late Mirror Incursion for reference)
- Cryptic apparently wants to reward less EC . ( see the Tour of the Universe nerf)
I'm sensing a theme ... .
The result :
EC prices skyrocket . Players look for ways to circumvent the 500M top price on the Exchange .
Dill gets hoarded by players (slowing SB construction) .
Fleetmarks get harder to come by in smaller fleets .
"Power leveling" no longer an option .
But I guess everything is great as long as players are pushed toward purchasing Zen more and more .
And it's not like we feel like we're being squeezed or anything . Nooo ... , so sir , not happening here . Not At All .

It's been four months since the last Bonus Mark Weekend. If and when they do have it, it had better be Double and not 1.5.

Seriously though, making a fuzz about something as minor as a marks event?
This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.

It's not "minor" ... considering it only happens twice a year ... :P
PS : It's not just the Event itself, but some people who check on the Calender regularly, were expecting this for ~2 months ... and now it seems the just dropped it 2 weeks before, without notice ...
PPS : Calender is getting kind of pointless by now ... dangling Carrots in front of us ... only to remove / delay Events ...

Considering how stupidly easy it already is to gather marks i have to call it minor.
It's a bonus, nothing more and nothing less and thus simply not worth the fuzz.
Still want those cookies and bacon, perhaps a beer chaser to finish it as well.

Can we please have a dev response on this issue?
at least just to clarify whether the event is deleted or its there but not showing properly on the calendar?
I still have my mirror event boxes waiting to be opened. Cant open them for the penalty, need the mark event to get the full amount
I would say this is a main reason why they might have removed it - there data shows a colossal amount of mark boxes stockpiled away in peoples inventory. I think they will have to remove the box feature or find a way to make the marks set - all the stockpiles of unopened boxes probably got them panicked.

Agreed. I also expect to see the latest "Promotion!" pack mechanic to be employed, so they can then make bonus marks apply to mark boxes (or not) at whim.

Well, except for the not-so-minor fact that they did. :rolleyes:
I expect the outrage over this to escalate substantially as when all the "weekend warriors/gamers" who championed this new weekend system find out the weekend they had been planning for a month or more just disappeared. This will be a big boondoggle.

Oh believe me, I can't wait. Got the popcorn popper running nonstop to prepare.

Yeah - I can just see the Forums around that weekend when thousands of the weekend players who marked it down on their calendar show up and get no bonus - should be fun times indeed! Especially after waiting so long for it too come around.

He too is displeased that the mark weekend has vanished.

I concur.
All of my fleet members has been waiting for this event.
we demand ... well, request that the event to be put back on schedule.

???? The event has been on the "Schedule" aka Calendar for at least a month before Thursdays Stealth Nerf - what is your comment about?
