Could those of us who don't understand how to do this event..please receive some information on how to do this.
Basically, do anything that rewards marks. Find that you get more marks than normal.
The Daily bonus marks however no longer gain the benefit. But if you for example to Argala the first time, you will get 55 from the Daily Bonus and 7 instead of 5 from the mission.
So now is a good time to run some queues, because they tend to have higher base payouts than most of the other missions (of course, they also need more time and effort usually.)
Star Trek Online Advancement: You start with lowbie gear, you end with Lobi gear.
To earn the gear we need items like the Ancient Power Cells, Isomorphic Injections etc
I've been playing this game for over 4 years, and to date the only armor visual I have unlocked is the Omega gear, and that was earned pre the reputation system. If some of these items can only be earned through queued missions which are all but empty when you have free time, there is little point in getting marks to begin with, or partaking in the reputation system at all.
Nail on Head correct.
ALL REPUTATION ITEMS SHOULD BE GRANTED IN NORMAL QUEUES!
Why play advanced when we don't even have the gear to fight them.
At least Nukara and Romulan rep doesn't need items only obtained from advanced queues...
I went to sell some epohhs, puppyfactory hazaa, and it was going to give me 400 marks, so I didn't sell them.
They have stated that the event is on, so epohhs don't give extra marks?
It always says 400 even when it gives 600 during the Bonus Weekend. I just verified it as well and it did award 600.

You need to have someone revise the Blog as it contains information that is not correct. It states:
"During this weekend event, content that provides Marks (Fleet or Reputation) will reward a 50% (1.5x) bonus above normal amounts – this bonus is available for all content that rewards Marks "
It does not as Daily Marks doesn't and it would seem that T5 Reputations Reward receives no increase. It would also seem the 250 Mark Choice Box from say the Mirror Event completion does not.
And please no semantic games by parsing the word "content" and stating that those items are not content. I verified the language used in the September Blog and it is identicall and bonuses were awarded for all three of the above listed items.

Woohoo!!! I got 7 marks instead of 5! Seriously, it does no good to get bonus marks when the missions don't reward a meaningful amount of marks to apply the bonus to.
Sure I could play one or both of the queues that have players in them and use those marks for dil, but I can barely convince myself to spend the 10 minutes grinding the daily bonus marks box for the delta rep much less waste time trying to fill a queue for less marks than the same event handed out a few months ago.
Fix the rewards first, then have a bonus marks event. It is not worth my time the way it is now
So, as per previous patch notes (and my in game experience), the daily box doesn't reward any bonus marks.
The 250 choice mark box doesn't reward any bonus marks.
The 100, 60, ... choice mark boxes do reward bonus marks, except for Delta marks.
Could someone explain to me how this event is actually useful? Even if it's intended to make you play the most current content, the bulk of your gain (daily mark box) will still not be rewarded with a bonus. Have fun with your bonus two delta marks for a patrol mission...
And this comes after the latest xp nerf. I'm just really fed up with those decisions ...

Well unless I'm misunderstanding the daily box is the once-per-day bonus box you receive, so for instance running bug hunt the first time the purple 55 mark daily box wouldn't get a bonus but the blue 25-ish mark delta box would.
Haven't been in game to confirm it but that's how it should be working
I'm only interested in this event for the delta marks so if NO delta boxes receive the bonus then they screwed up royally.

The delta regular gives bonus. Just not the daily box. This punishes low mark missions like something on new romulus or kobali prime. But the reward for an ISA etc is good.
The big payout special event boxes are no more. Same with the reputation completions.

Just out of curiosity ... how do you know ? I got 37 from 37 Marks for Bug Hunt Advanced ... is the Bonus already included, if it is why did other Boxes pay 65 from 50 Marks i.E. (Display Bug ?)
While the 250 Mark Box from the MU doesn't give additional Marks ... the Mulitple Choice Boxes from the Summer Event still do (just not Delta) ... and I was under the impression Delta would get the same treatment :
including the newest Mark type for the Delta Alliance Reputation.
Should I open my Boxes nonetheless, because they just forgot to Nerf the other Reps (= exploit, if opened for anything but Delta ?), or should I keep them in some weird hope they're gonna fix the Delta Marks ... I guess the answer is obvious as of late, but still ...

I get 7 Delta marks for patrols in DQ right now. That's a whole 2 marks more than prior to the event. So it would seem normal (not bonus daily) delta mark boxes do receive the 50% bonus to them.
My gripe is about the daily boxes (and other stuff...).

That's what I'm currently trying to decide. Get other than delta marks with the bonus (probably for dil turn-in, as I don't need them otherwise) or get delta without bonus because I could use some and they'll never get a bonus anyway.
Cryptic/PWE has a great track record with giving me dilemmas to make my head hurt recently. Where are those good times when you could plan something ahead and not having it screwed by every new patch?

If Daily remarks are not going to be rewarded there is no point in this event so another reason to not log on much this week since will not help my dyson rep

Didn't you know? Cryptic cares not, until we vote with our wallets. I for one have already done so thanks to antics like this.

The moment they started with the exceptions for the dil event (crystalline catastrophe event rep project not granting bonus dil), it was clear the events were going downhill. Now there's so many exceptions for the marks event it might be shorter to note where it actually applies.

The events went down hill the second they removed them from the hourly rotation. Used to get so much more marks with the old system than you can now. But you know, they sold it under the banner of "better rewards" so yeah... obviously working as intended.

Well, given there were no more than 1 such weekend event in a month after that change went live, I have to agree.
But, assuming these events (in the not yet nerfed state) were running every weekend, I might like them a bit more than the old hourlies (or 2 hour-long ones). Especially the dilithium bonuses were nice while they lasted (next event will no doubt have most dil income exempt from the bonus).

Yeah the dilithium event will probably end up only giving a bonus to lock box mining claims. Because, money. I swear somebody on the Dev team just walks in each morning with a pair of scissors and starts snipping at all the good things in the game. The problem with that is, once you cut away enough, there's nothing left to keep people playing.

EDIT: I just tried to open a 250 mark box from an older CC event. It still says it's going to give me 250 marks.
Or don't .... that's the problem ...
75 regular marks, 55 bonus... so no event bonus at all??
EDIT: And reputation Tier V rewards don't grant bonuses! :mad:
They have stated that the event is on, so epohhs don't give extra marks?

Why play advanced when we don't even have the gear to fight them.
At least Nukara and Romulan rep doesn't need items only obtained from advanced queues...
It always says 400 even when it gives 600 during the Bonus Weekend. I just verified it as well and it did award 600.

Plus the rep traits you unlock and any other goodies to get on the way are useful either to buy the odd piece of kit or to sell for EC's.
Thanks for the info. I'll turn them in tomorrow.

Any comments?
Cause I don't really have anything polite to say anymore...
Except you won't get any additional marks from the daily bonus boxes!
You also won't get anything from your finished Reputations!
As well as from any of your stocked universal Mark boxes!
And the few ones that do get a bonus, won't include Delta Marks!
Enjoy the event you won't get anything worthwhile from, since we've nerfed the Mark rewards from PvE queues anyway!"
