    Just sit right back
    And you'll hear a tale
    A tale of a fateful patch,
    The Devs promised more improvements but,
    The players didn’t fetch.
    The Patch was a mighty disastrous thing,
    And the downtime way to long,
    Five Devs started praying some Hail Maries,
    But the patch turned everything wrong, everything wrong

    The ranting started getting rough,
    The players mood was tossed.
    If not for the courage of the fearless Mods,
    The Forum would be lost.
    The Forum would be lost.

    The patch set ground on the game
    On our perfectly build pcs,
    With Talaxians,
    The Cooperation too.
    The Kobali
    And their dead,
    The Ocampa,
    The Malon and Hierarchy,
    Here on STOOOOOOOOO.


    So this is the tale of this nightmare patch,
    He ‘ll be here for a long long time.
    We'll have to make the best of things,
    It's an downwhill climb.

    The Smirky and his Trendy too
    Will do their very best,
    To make the players comf'terble
    In their Moderator nest.

    No XP, no more fun, no free ship,
    Not a single luxury
    Like other chines MMos
    It's primitive as can be.

    So join us here each week my friends,
    You’ll forget how to smile,
    among just more grinds
    Here on STO’s file!


    :P:D:P

    Not bad. Though I wonder if it's suppose to be "and the downtime way too long" not "to long". Admittedly my grammar is sub-par, as most people now a days but the single o in that to seems off to me.

    So what's the deal with the shotgun Mk level btw? I finished the event today on five characters and one of them got a Mk XIII, then I opened one on another toon and he only got a Mk XI... Feeling disappointed by that so not going to open any of the others until I know if it's tied to rank or something.

    If it is, then that's a bit lame considering I had to do the exact same thing with all of the characters to get the damned thing.

    I've only opened it on 2 and got a 13 at level 60 and a 12 at 59. It's pretty cheap to upgrade at least.

    weapon mks are dependent on your level... level up to 60 and complete then for the mk 13 if you want it at mk 13.

    as long as the project is qued... you can complete later. no need to do it asap.

    Well I'll be saving the rest for level 60 then. Seems bloody stupid though considering they can all make use of Mk XIII items and they all ran the exact same mission for the exact amount of time. Don't think after doing the exact same thing with them all that I should have to spend my precious amounts of dilithium to upgrade it on some characters.

    if you get a perfect score... you only need to close a total of 14 rifts before the 2nd part of the event with boss spawns, that will net you the 50 points...

    otherwise you will need to close a total of 29 rifts before the boss spawns... that will net you 55 points.

    you should leave rifts open so you get more rifts and more ships to kill and farm if your dps is good enough to control the adds. leave like 3 rifts up at all times and farm ships and additional rifts.

    most groups i come across with ship high dps gets 50 points or 49 if they let the station go down to 90%. those are the groups that wait for 4 mins doing nothing. maybe 1 in 20 runs do I see a 55 point reward, they end up fighting and closing rifts almost right up to the end.

    If you have high DPS group, maybe. I had 1 cloaked AFK leecher and 3 of them just sitting in front of the station while not closing any rifts or powering the station. 2 of them blew up several times. But it was my fault for "not joining in the fight" when I was the only one flying around trying to close the rifts.

    Also, the devs intended you to close the rifts on this map. That's what I'm going to do. If you want to farm ships then make a private group and do that. I'll never stop closing rifts!

    Sadly I just noticed this event so there is no way for me to complete it. I guess I just wait for next time they run an event.

    I'm sitting on 400 photos of Q waiting for the next Winter Event and a bunch of crystal shards waiting for the next Crystal event. Start running the Mirror now and save the transporter things for the next Mirror. Plus the Mirror event, while repetitive, is one of the easier ways to collect Delta marks at the moment.

    Well I won't yell at you , but the primary intention is to activate the 4 corners as fast as possible while closing rifts in between the cycles .

    In most pugs I'm grateful if someone else at least helps with that , so I don't have to do it all the time .
    Plus the pugs where you were overwhelmed by spawns -- those were the ones where no one activated the corners and everyone thought that "someone else" will do that -- if they even knew that that was a requirement ... . :)


    ... and I too would like a few days added to this event as the downtimes have messed up my schedule too ...

    I've found that if you activate the corners too fast without closing any rifts first, you make things harder for the person/people closing rifts. With every higher tier, harder enemies spawn. If you get pinned between five or more rifts and everybody else is doing the corners then you very fast get overpowered by five or more typhoon battleships. Which you can't really do much about on your own because as you take out one of the five, another one spawns. Really, you're supposed to do it all together as a team.

    And that is exactly what I do. ;)

    I usually go to the left as soon as the timer ends and turn on the power transfer right behind the starting point. I then make my way around the map closing rifts on the way to power up the station. When all the stations are powered up, I focus on the rifts. When the next power cycle comes up, I go around the map again powering up the stations while closing rifts. I usually have the station at level 5 with around 5-7 minues left on the clock. Then I go for the rifts.

    That's what they got mad at me for doing lol.

    Edit: I should also add that I kill whatever ships come out of a rift before I close it. Usually takes me no more than a few seconds to clean them up before closing it.
    Really, you're supposed to do it all together as a team.

    This too. Splitting duties works very well. Having some power up the stations while others close rifts, it goes quick and easy.

    This is also me I will close rifts power the station when I have the chance take on ships but that is only a priority when I'm not a sci ship if you don't close the rifts you end up overrun with ships and 9 times out of 10 don't get the bonus marks

    Do not get me wrong, but why do you want the Fractal Remodulator?
    I read its description on STO Wiki and it needs 3 sec for remodulation

    While in notes they state:

    "Though the second that is saved by using this over the [Frequency Remodulator] (my note: this one is free on replicator) its probably not worth specifically farming the materials for it, those materials do accumulate as a side effect of running missions in the Defera Invasion Zone. "

    Some people get them (I know I have on a few toons) because some of the Fleet Shields and Armour are better than the Omega or MACO gear. So that extra second is handy if you don't want to have to use the Rep gear to get the integral. I've never farmed the items for it, but I do have several stacks of them on all of my toons just from running the dailies on Defera and there's nothing else to use them for really.

    me and most people on my friends list and fleet didn't bother with this mirror event, its too long and no way we could put up with doing it 14 times. I would do the old mirror event 14 times, or maybe a different version of the event, but not this mirror event as it is now. 4 years into the game you will have lots of players with so much resources that 50k dil is no incentive to put up with something boring, i can easily refine more then that every day if I want.

    Has there been any word about whether or not they will be extending the mirror event to make up for all the down time they had? If not, I might not make it with some of my characters because of the down time. I will need about two more days.

    Does anyone know what time the event will end on the 20th? It seems that the clock for the Multi-dimensional transporter is not resetting until about 7:00 PM Eastern Time for me. I'm on par to get the reward for this, but I will require the multi-dimensional transporter on the 20th. :-/

    If you open your mission journal (J), and then click on the Mirror Invasion image on the left it will tell you what time the event ends in your local time. For me (GMT) it's 6PM.

    I'm jus glad I managed to do it for the bonus marks one last time but not impressed that the shot gun was not mk xIII straight away I should have to wait till I'm lvl 60 to claim a special weapon. This weapon is just going to sit in my bank and rust there as I can see no reail use for a shotgun that it Mk XI unless I reclaim it from the dil store when I;m lvl 60. If it was a tommy gun though would be a different story.

    D'oh... Just accidentally opened shotgun box, got MK XII blue. Should have banked it, I'll be more careful with my alts.

    Is this possible, or would reclaiming just give the MK/rarity that is deleted?

    I definitely hope they extend the event for a few days, this is the first time I decided to do the event with more than one character and I won't get it done with a few of them if they don't extend it. :(

    Seriously, take away the event rewards after the event and replace them with something like dilithium or something. It's nice to have Mirror runs KDF side because they add a Starbase 24 type run to the list of STF missions that's lacking KDF side.

    Keep the mission slotted and you can complete it with the items during the next event if you're wanting the shotgun.
