The problem here once again is not the Dil nerf. I have never collected Bonus Dil for any Reputation completion.
The problem here is people keep seeing the game they wish they were playing instead of the game actually in front of them. When they compare the two, the actual version will always come up a distant second. Perfection is unattainable. STO has a ton of flaws and an owner who will charge for breathing air just as soon as they can figure out how to do so.
Despite these and the bugs which are obviously never going to be fixed in this lifetime, STO can be an entertaining way to waste a couple of hours. Which is all it should be viewed as. Nothing more.

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.
Ah what!....I have been holding back on my last rep projects for several weeks for nothing!
I have let more dil slip away over the past few weeks, by not finishing the reps, than I will earn now. Was counting on that dil boost, to make holding on to those last rep projects worth it.
Stupid me huh! for not seeing this one coming (no comments thanks )

Luckly I have 1000s of marks to use.
You wouldn't have seen it coming because it already had during the last Dilithium Weekend.

Great. I'm sitting on over a thousand Delta marks that i had saved up for this occasion.
They will still net you a bonus. As will turning in the items. It's only the completion of the level 5 rep that won't get a reward, as well as something like Mirror Invasion etc.
Which is good, cos I've somehow ended up with 50 Voth cybernetic implants and a whole bunch of marks to turn in. I think I'll get the formal wear I missed out on.

I have a B.S. degree in Engineering Technology majoring in Electronics. I have worked extensively with electronics and computers most of my adult life. I have worked as a maintenance Supervisor for some very large Corporations. The equipment was different but the principles are the same. I have learned several things and would like to pass these words of wisdom on to you people at Cryptic.
If it isn't broke, don't fix it. We expect new content and such, but don't change something just for the sake of changing it. Have solid reasons for it.
If there are bugs, like there are now, fix them. Don't make changes and add new content til the bugs are fixed. This will only compound the problems. We are still having some problems on the Borg Sector Block daily's. The Unimatrix does not appear. This gets very frustrating. We also have our Bridge Officers disappear where we have to reset their assignments and talents. We are suffering from bad lag to being disconnected frequently. This really makes us angry when we are teamed up in STF's. Fix the bugs first.
test your patches extensively on the Beta server. This will allow you to fix the bugs before they become a problem for us. Do NOT add to much all at one time. Don't have a new release at the same time you are doing an event. Don't have the events overlap. patches you used last year for an event may not work correctly for the same event this year. TEST it first. This will prevent bugs that are making everyone angry.
Game difficulties are driving a lot of us insane. Normal STF's should be able to be done by people with tier 12 equipment. Advanced with Tier 13 equipment, and Elite with Tier 14 equipment. if you make it impossible to complete these STF's, people will lose interest and go play an easier game to play. There are plenty out there that do not cause a lot of frustration in people, and are free to play also. Yes we realize you have to make it a little difficult to get the marks and special pieces to get the equipment for our ships, but don't make it impossible to advance our Captains.
We need more Tier 6 ships. We should be able to upgrade our T-5U ships to Tier 6 with upgrade tokens. You can add a console slot, upgrade the ranks of the Bridge officers, or add a front and rear weapon slot. Their is a lot you can do. Its kind of sad that most of the T-5U ships are better than the Tier 6 ships.
If you are unsure of a change, make a patch for it, put it on the beta server, and let us gamers test it. get an opinion from the people who play the game. WE are the customers you need to keep happy.
The dilithium weekend event starts today. it is overlapping the 5th Anniversary event. I wonder what bugs I will see when I log in after the patch.
Uhhm 50k dili at the end of a reputation? Since when was that raised? i completed a reputation about a month ago and i got 32k, not 50k, so was I cheated out of some dili or is someone wrong about this?
I'm pretty sure that it's only talking about one thing, not two. Especially since it's bulleted like so:
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.
The second line is templated as a clarification of the first. And as many have pointed out..... only EVENT rep projects actually give you a lump sum of 50k. T5 completion rewards are considerably less than that as-is.
What about minimum of 10 minutes per one toon? With all my 28 toons it's require about 5 hours in total, so after that time I just close the game till next day.
Why bother? You don't actually need to do the Omega daily on everyone. Sure you get a bonus for it if you're Omega hunting, but the Samsar is discounted to 40 Q-marks once you get it on one character.
One point i do concede is the mention of 50k dilithium rewards for reputation completion. I recently completely completed a few on two characters and got 32k each time, but maybe that was just an oversight.
It's not an oversight. Rep T5 projects never have been worth 50k. I see no reason to believe that Trendy's statement is actually talking about rep t5 rewards at all.
Anyway, I've vented and I'm ok with the change now. But you realize, that I've been planning the turn in for quite some time and understandably I feel bad when my party is pooped last minute.
This is ignoring the major point. A dil event shouldn't be bonus ore that you have to refine. It should be "Good news everyone! The refining cap has been doubled just for the weekend!" That is a real event. I keep trying to figure out what benefit there is to increasing the grind when it isn't a required subscription anymore.
From doffing +50% and I did a ground elite it gave +50% too, but that explanation for the event that I wrote is a bit worrying. And no extra dil for turning in marks or thingies.
Galavant!

this is unbelievable what Cryptic Guys changes here all time!
Why the Reputation Mark and Rep Rewards do not give more Dilithium Reward?
You nerfed the Mark Packages, T5 rep Diliithium Bonuses and now theReputation itself !
WHAT FOR DILITHIUM EVENT IS THAT???
Should we also go buy more and more Lock Boxes to obtain mining claims?
No, i and all other here collects the Marks and claims... for only this reason, to break it on Dilithium Event!

A sad day for me. And the end of dilithium weekends for me.

What's funny is that they do these weekends so rarely, yet still find the need to nerf them into the ground just like regular rewards. Freaking lame...:rolleyes:

My character Tsin'xing
Just saying.
The slotted rep projects - yes, but I've heard from several people on the forum that the tier V rep reward did indeed get boostet the last dilithium event. http://priorityonepodcast.com/rules-of-acquisition-87-learn-the-customers-weaknesses-so-you-can-better-take-advantage-of-them/
It's even mentioned on the priorty one blog.
Anyway, I've vented and I'm ok with the change now. But you realize, that I've been planning the turn in for quite some time and understandably I feel bad when my party is pooped last minute.
dilithium from reputation projects and t5 reputation missions remains at the normal rate.
But in the weekend event promotion page
Everywhere else in the game: (including turning in Marks/Neural Processors/Cybernetic Implants, etc.)
50% Bonus Dilithium Ore
And the event has started but I can't get the +50% for returning marks or neural processors etc.
"Use Temporal Skills to NERF EVERYTHING before it happened!" -Unknown source.
Those turn-ins are not so much rep projects, they work. And events start at 10 a.m., not when the server is up again. :P
Same problem, getting 50% bonus from contra and doffing, not from 50 mark turn-ins. I'll try again in an hour, though.

So where is my bonus? :eek:
Pretty sure it's working as intended read the in-game description of the event. It says all rep doesn't get the bonus.
