No Tier 3 bonus reward for us :(

Well, awkward.
Were the goals set unrealistically high?
Did player participation not meet reasonable expectations?
Did the bugs/emergency maintenance doom us?
I was really looking forward to that bonus xp

Have to wonder how many folks did all three factions for some completionist thing, eh? Or maybe they figured on saving that for the next week and so forth...so some reward might be earned here and there instead of it being 1-2 weeks and then dead for 5...
We've almost hit it. Depending on the time left (when exactly does it reset?) and the activity of the players, we might theoretically still hit it. I'm doing missions until the end at least.
Sure, its just some fleet marks and dil ore, I don't really need it, but I didn't want to be forever left with greyed-out rewards in the temporal dude's reward shop.
Can't save it for later when doing all factions with 1 slot, either. Gotta do each one and reroll. Plus it synergized well with the weekly reward.
And i swear, i'll never do the cardassian arc again...except there will be a revamp. And Collusseum...god forbid....never ever...NEVER AGAIN.....
It's just 3/4 of the bar from Tier II to Tier III, with around 12 more hours to go. There's still a chance we can make it.
I actually hope this event does go well, or this whole affair is only going to result in a lot of level 30 farming alts and mules for Cryptic.
Just ignore the bar and have fun.
Thats why we had the emergency patch on tuesday
I think most will be mules regardless of level. Mine will be a contraband farmer. I don't have the time, money, or will to deck out another toon. I.did it purely for the rewards for the couple characters I actually give a TRIBBLE about.
I stopped leveling my DR toon somewhere in the mid 20s.
By the time I get home, it will be over either way.
And trust me, I am not using that up for my Recruits. I still have 2 endgame alts below 60. Not for long...... xD
Join the Deltas today!
Tier 2 was supposed to be a serious challenge and tier 3 likely out of reach.
The fact that we have challenged tier 3 is a job well done.
The next challenge will not be first mission completions.

precisely, tier 3 this time would from te get-go be out of reach, that we got the t3 bar over half (79% just now) is a job well done!
indeed, stop with the negativity we got 100% bonus xp!! makes the grind to 60 with the delta toon less of a drag!
and who knows maybe the next goal will be easier the get to tier 3 (just have some fun with you delta)

They have literally millions of toons leveled on their servers -- which translates to a ton of data about leveling (and the time it takes) , and I'm still supposed to believe that drivel .
I'm sorry ... , on what planet do you make an award system where the top award is out of reach ?
... shenanigans R us ... ?
of course they know the average level time of a toon. But it usually most likely takes more than a week to do so.
That so many people put in that extra effort was the exceeding expectations part.
Also there could have been simply more Delta Recruits than they anticipated.
*Who wants to be a millionaire?* comes to mind
Well, on one hand that may reflect what they think of us in general , on the other hand it also shows that the mad grind at places like Argala and Japori taught them nothing , as the expectation on one hand was for lazyness and for not making Tier 3 ... , which brings the need for a Tier 3 into question ... , as it just caused even more of a leveling rush then was needed from their own POV .
Good for them !

I imagine they'll be meetings in the offices today attempting to determine either what went wrong, or how they're going to determine what went wrong (hopefully they already have a plan for the 'how').
Key metrics I'd be looking at if I were them:
By parked I mean either stopped logging on to the delta recruit, converted to unrewarded (i.e. things that didn't advance the group tier) activities like Doffing, or otherwise greatly reduced their Delta Recruits activity level.
In my case, I hit level 30 and parked.
In my judgment, the rewards weren't worth chasing (in and of themselves) at all to be honest compared to the time investment needed. In fact I wouldn't have done a Delta at all if I wasn't closing in the last part of my FED starbase and decided to set up for more progress on the KDF one.
In relation to that, getting my Delta to 30th was the only requirement, I got the Fleet Project reward and was nicely set to continue Doffing thereafter to fed the KDF starbase. I be Done.
The truth of the matter is, we don't know how this is calculated or why, so speculating or coming up with wild theories, isn't going to do any good.
Spec point grinders neglected their Delta Recruits thinking that other players will earn that XP bonus for them, and are now upset that the others weren't all that interested?
I certainly wouldn't have cared about the weekly global goal if I wasn't going to be doing episode missions anyway.
