I estimate we have about 12 hours or so left to pull it off before Recruit Week 2 kicks in. Think we can make it in time?

    I have to say, this extreme haste to pass the proverbial finish post is disappointing.

    Keep this up and the Nerf hammer will come down - I guess those who are desperate for bragging rights won't care, but those who cannot, for various reasons, play that frequently/progress that quickly are going to find their progress slowed even further.

    Um, I don't see how reaching Tier III is going to be seen as an exploit. The whole thing IS the Devs' idea, after all. If they try to Nerf it, there's going to be a LOT of Deltas who could have gone the distance to 60 but would end up becoming nothing more than Level 30 mules and farming alts because the players gave up.

    Seriously, if any Devs are reading this, please take my advice: DON'T nerf this. It would be a terrible mistake and you would do the exact opposite of what this event was intended for.

    I think they are pleased with the event's performance and wouldn't nerf it. They probably meant tier 3 to be difficult and will be happy we got close to it.

    The first week is really the grand prize with the exp bonus. Other weeks will be marks and dilithium - hopefully we can get 1 more xp after that.

    You're talking about the same people who consider rational economic behavior to be an exploit.

    As of 4:27AM Central Time here, the Progress Bar is still reading at 77%. I don't know if this is updated at certain intervals or is done in real-time. I'm still crossing fingers to see if it clicks into T3 just before Week II starts up.

    I just completed a couple of missions. I noticed that after turning each of them in the bar would momentarily light up. I don't know if that's an indicator of a live update but there you go.

    I'm not optimistic for T3.
    This is probably the slowest part of the day. Europeans are at work or in school, Americans are asleep.
    The Aussies have to save us now! XD

    But I am still happy. We got double XP next week. That is something. 150% would be nice, too but is not essential IMO.

    At less than an hour to go until 11AM PST, the Progress Bar reads at 82%, I really wish the Devs would let us players win this crumb of Achievement. Getting to play at 150% XP buff would be a unique first in all the years of this game.

    Dear Devs, I did not earn it but give it to me anyway. Welcome to the entitlement century. :)
    STO is about my Liberated Borg Federation Captain with his Breen 1st Officer, Jem'Hadar Tactical Officer, Liberated Borg Engineering Officer, Android Ops Officer, Photonic Science Officer, Gorn Science Officer, and Reman Medical Officer jumping into their Jem'Hadar Carrier and flying off to do missions for the new Romulan Empire. But for some players allowing a T5 Connie to be used breaks the canon in the game.

    Got a bit more time, PST is west coast, not east coast. 2 hours 40 minutes left from now.

    If I was setting it up tier 1 would have been the "is this thing on?" level, tier 2 would be the expected reward level, tier 3 the "the server hamsters cannae take it!" level.

    What would be interesting is if they did it like the following:

    Server has T1/T2/T3 rewards.

    You, account-wide, have T1/T2/T3 rewards - diminished, of course, perhaps just 25/50/75%, perhaps something else.

    That way, you make a significant difference on the amount of XP you can gain, and everyone on the server is incentivised to make and level recruits, instead of simply coasting off of other people's work leveling them.
    SCM - Crystal C. (S) - [00:12] DMG(DPS) - @jarvisandalfred: 8.63M(713.16K) - Fed Sci

    SCM - Hive (S) - [02:31] DMG(DPS) - @jarvisandalfred: 30.62M(204.66K) - Fed Sci

    Tacs are overrated.

    Sadly, the Delta recruits appear to be primarily Bajoran.

    And thus unable to meet a simple quota.

    I might get a couple more missions in.. as one of those "pro grinder" types (for some reason I find grinding fun) I have made 3 recruits .. 2 are at 30+ and one is at 40+ so I will be logging in in a couple hours to work on the 40+ guy.

    I do think there is already some bonus in effect as I got 4 levels by doing turning in a couple doff assignments and doing one mission which is much more then what I expected so there is already some kind of bonus in effect ..
