    Dilithium rewards from completing Event Reputation Projects no longer receive a bonus.
    This also includes the large reward of 50,000 Dilithium a player earns when completing a reputation.

    You knew I was going to do that, didn't you? But you're having none of that.. well at least there's hope that the implementation isn't working.

    * Everywhere else in the game: (including turning in Marks/Neural Processors/Cybernetic Implants, etc.)
    Ancient Power Cells...

    If I were to find enough to turn them in, let alone complete Delta Reputation items... ;)

    At least add them to the Kobali zone so people have an excuse to go back.

    Boooo! And might I add, Hiss!

    Does this mean that 1) Omega Reputation Completion will now reward in line with the other Reputations and 2) All reputations are getting increased from 32.5K dilithium to 50K dilithium upon completion? Because that would make me a happy Cath.

    Yes, I know the reasoning behind why this change was made, but getting all that extra dilithium still was a lot of fun!

    I did all of the last dill events even when vip tickets were character bound. Today I really don't know if I want to get into this again despite the bonus. STO's just become way too much work. I'm demotivated. Crafting grind & crafting rng just killed it all for me.

    Another reason to hate you Cryptic, not to mention you are lying in the dev blog as the reward is only 32k(and from Omega even less, 9k). However, if you are raising the reward to 50k I am totally fine with that.

    As far as I know these changes were allready in place. I do remember last dil event that this change was allready in place but wasnt annouced, becouse I did had project queued up and they werent getting the bonus anymore.
    And I think with the 50k dil mentioning, is about the 50k dil u get from the event rep projects like crystal entity or mirror invasion ones.

    Anyway, nice event, Thank You.

    What the heck, I do ask why the reputation T5 completions are being nerfed, really.

    We'll go with that 50,000 dilithium quoted in the announcement (Never got that much from any of my reps for hitting T5 but whatever)

    So you get 50,000 dilithium, how long does that take to refine? At 8,000 per day it takes 6.25 days to refine it all, so day 7 the pool you got is gone.

    Lets take the 50% bonus and apply it to the 50,000 number, that gives us 75,000 to be refined. At 8,000 per day it takes 9.375 days to refine it all, day 10 the pool + bonus is gone.

    It's seriously worth ticking off those that work for it and save it for those few days because they'd like to have an extra 3 days of dil padding? Granted there's multiple reputation projects to do this on, but still the benefit to the player is only a few days long.

    God forbid people get an extra few days for a break from the grind and can focus on other things, it's not like we have anyone griping about how grindy things have become.... Ohh wait.

    It says Event Reputation projects won't receive a bonus. I'm guessing that means events such as the Mirror Event. Claiming the T5 rep isn't an event reputation.

    If the reward is being nerfed back to 32k dilithium, I will quit grinding reputations on my alts and will spend much less time online.

    This is the kind of petty **** that fuels player rage unnecessarily. I get that you gotta eat but I'm not taking on a second job.
    Delta Rising is the best expansion ever and the players love it! No, seriously! ...Why are you laughing so hard? :(

    If Cryptic would at least allow us to convert more than 50 marks that would be great.

    This has been in place since the last Dilithium Weekend. They no longer provide the 50% bonus for the 32k Dilithium Reward for completing T5 of a Reputation (9k for Omega). You are NOT getting 50k for T5 completion. The 50k that they mention is the Dilithium Reward for completing special events like Crystalline Catastrophe or the Mirror Invasion. Those also do not receive the 50% bonus.

    Omega has always been a 9k Dilithium Reward, which was enough for a piece of the Ground Set. It is the only Reputation that did not provide sufficient rewards for a Space Set piece.

    I don't know where people are getting this other stuff from.

    That is correct. It was this way last dilithium event as well.

    It really seems like Cryptic wants to TRIBBLE all over the player base and make them quit.

    Seriously, it's like you want to drive players away from your game. This makes no sense.....

    (This is in response to the event rep not granting a bonus, on top of everything else that has happened over the last 6 months).

    EDIT: Seriously, you complain that the forum sigs are unnecessarily rude, but then you take everything that was fun, and people looked forward to with the game, and just take it away. I am myself considering the tacky, Delta rising is the best and the players love it sig.

    I would be amenable to this change.


    They specifically stated that
    This also includes the large reward of 50,000 Dilithium a player earns when completing a reputation.

    That's a copy paste. 50K would be actively generous for completing a reputation and would certainly nullify any complaints. I have three Delta reps that are going to finish so I guess I'm about to find out.

    As long as they don't nerf DOFF mission payouts I'm cool.

    Since when does completing any reputation reward 50,000 dilithium? 32,500 has been the maximum I've ever seen, and Omega is a measly 9,000. :confused:

    See they want to "Trick" you into thinking it isn't that bad that they are taking it because you get 50,000. But no, you don't.

    Unless the Foundry is back up. I will pass on this event. Usually I love the foundry. Cause I can quickly hit a mission and move on. Then hit it again the next day, then move on. This way I get my Dil farming in, plus some other missions.

    Apparently even a 50% bonus on 9K is too generous, even though we are paying their salaries. Ebenezer Scrooge, Silas Marner, and Cryptic Studios, all niggardly birds of a feather... :mad:

    I'm loving the fact that they waited until now for the reveal, it's like: Ohhh! You're so clever ey? Well, you wait on finishing that rep project - yes, yes.

    Not that I'm behind the idea of having to save the Tier V rep turn ins, but that timing...:rolleyes:
