I bet gekos bosses were patting him on the back congratulating him for how successful his baby his creation that is the voth ground battle zone. He was probably showing them numbers of how many people were there doing this awesome new ground battle zone they probably thought this guys a genius dinosaurs with laser beams actually worked or did it. Was it the amazing content that geko created that brought people to the zone or the fact that it was easily exploitable for dill and why was the dill exploit never fixed ? Was the dill exploit put in there and left in there by geko to artificially inflate the number of players playing gekos baby? Was it put in there and left in there by geko so that he didnt look like an idiot when no one would have played his crappy ground battle zone i shouldnt say no one but if it wasnt for the dill exploit the numbers would have been far less. So are the higher ups aware of these exploits inflating the numbers or is geko just the smartest dev ever.

The battlezone is no exploit.
Free of charge.
Free Tibet!
My my , you are the forum Grinch today aren't you!
you can make 5x the dilithium there , Than any other place in the game...Its always been that way
You call it balanced?
Saphire.. Science ground......Ko'el Romulan space Tac
Leva........Tactical ground.....Koj Romulan space Eng
JJ-Verse will never be Canon or considered Lore...It will always be JJ-Verse
"With the first link, the chain is forged. The first speech censured, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains us all irrevocably."
Now because you where all in the battle zone enjoying the content and the rewards...
Relax there OP the devs haven't called there players cheaters today quite yet. Day is still young though if people raise heck over it later today who knows perhaps by the end of the day they will.
You have to try a lot harder thant hat to not make Geko look like a complete idiot. :P

I might call it unbalanced (after making comparisons with other activities) but i wouldnt call it an exploit.
I thought it was established that something is not an exploit until it gives 17x more X, than anything else?
I thought he did a awesome job confirming it on that last podcast
Saphire.. Science ground......Ko'el Romulan space Tac
Leva........Tactical ground.....Koj Romulan space Eng

Not only is it not an exploit, but nerfing the rewards or the time required to earn them will be the beginning of the end of this game. It will be the straw that breaks the camel's back.
We don't know if today's patch is a nerf. Heck for some people it may be a buff depending on what critical and non-critical tasks are. We just have to wait and see.
It's very simple to test. Capture 5 zones, tag all three dinos and you should get over 3k dilithium and some marks andimplants. I don't remember the exact rewards as I've been sitting on hundreds of thousands of ore on each of my characters and haven't been there in a while but it won't be hard to figure out if it's a nerf.
Free Tibet!
Wholeheartedly agree. Its a great map, let down by abysmal rewards.
Now THATS a sig..... and for some reason I'm now hungry :P
Jurassic world is still 6 months off... perhaps Cryptic can run a Dino Event the weekend of the launch. LMAO
your right they could buff the reward x5 we don't know
I never called it a exploit....However a Good commander is required to ( Exploit ) any weakness in the enemy...This is a wargame
The massive Dil reward should be switched from dyson to the Delta warzone...maybe Geko isn't getting kudo's for the new zone and is still getting slaps on the behind at the water fountain for dyson
Who know's
Saphire.. Science ground......Ko'el Romulan space Tac
Leva........Tactical ground.....Koj Romulan space Eng

thanks
yeah this annoys me to no end unfortunately there is no cure part of me wants to organize a sort of "we wont kill the dino's until the taggers stop" when i see it happening one moment there is like 20 people there (well the little bridge officers maybe its less always hard to tell since we have 2 bridge officers with us) and then suddenly I am soloing the thing lol.
I am considering next time this happens when I am in the zone that i propose in zone chat that everyone who is left standing soloing a dino stop and call out where the taggers are heading and we follow the taggers lol that way none of us feels like a slave to these people.
which is the issue. However I tend to get almost the same amount of dilithium as one of those taggers do without doing that so i dont know how much they are gaining by this nonsense. There are times when the dino's fail because the tagging slows down the entire process.
I would suggest that anyone being victimized by a tagger group simply stop killing the dino when they take off and follow them. That way they are forced to you know help as well.
Agreed because...I know some people disagree with this but I not only liked the map, but the intensity of playing against the Vaadwaur on the ground.

No, that's just Cryptic's way to entice players to play content that has potential to be or is generally disliked, so they can present their "metrics" to the higher ups showing numbers that support their claims of success or "the best expansion evar!". By now everyone has noticed that this is exactly what's happening in DR with the DQ content as well.
They have disconected themselves from their own playerbase and their own game in favour of their "metrics". They don't know or care how people feel, they don't care how the game feels like - they only care about cold numbers. But there's only so much duct-tape, smoke and mirrors can hold, that's why the game is falling apart right now.
Nope it wasn't ... you could make the same amount with Elite STFs, the Foundry, Doffing etc ...
It might not be balanced "right now", but only because they nerfed everything else ...
SHhhhhh..you are ruining the fun for the FEW remaining of us....
WAY too late..NERF patrol:
Dyson Sphere Battle Zone: Re-balanced how player's scores are calculated for open missions.
Previously, missions were being too generous with points for tasks that were not critical to missions .....
No point playing to win.

tagging and moving on to the next dino or hopping fields... thing of the past.
right now how it works is working as intended.
there is an accolade to kill all 3 dinos in 1 run... you can only do that if you move from dino to dino before they die.
now if they locked each dino pen so that only 1 is open at a time... that could also be a fix. But they dont do this... so you choosing not to run from dino to dino are the one not playing as the devs intended.
Just FYI, your sig is the kind of meme sig people mean when talking about how long it will take to ban them.
If you don't tag all three dinos you miss out on the full reward. There's no need to stay at one dino the whole time. You tag one, kill medics if you see them, run to next, tag and kill medics, run to last and stay there till it's dead. All three dinos get killed and you get the full reward.
Why would you not do that? The very fact that you need to tag all three dinos for full reward tells me that it's intended to be done that way.
There's an accolade for doing just that, so it's working as intended.
