Um, Delta Recruit Where's the bonus I worked for?

Maybe I'm missing something in a very big way here, but I thought we were supposed to have a week of bonus XP this week? Where is this indicated?

In Zone chat, half the players are experiencing the same thing I am.


I figured I get a little bonus pool-type indicator or something in the top left like other bonuses.

I've leveled to 53, did all 40 DR objectives on my SF character and have nothing. On any character delta or otherwise.

Also, I though that week one was supposed to run until 1:00pm today. When I logged on at noon my DR window already said week 2 had started. My issue with this is that any other time cryptic makes an announcement (Like the shard is going down for emergency maintenance) it's always done in Pacific time. I'm 3 hrs ahead in eastern time and it was over at noon?

So I guess my question is, did we just waste all that time (And money) for nothing?

    The bonus is give in the last week of Delta Recruit.

    We have passed the first Week (Phase 1)
    We now on the second Week (Phase 2)

    You wasted money on a free character slot?

    Anyway, you do get a bonus (well once you can log back in). Go to the Temporal Agent on your home station, and ask him what you have earned, he will get you some good stuff.

    We already have ... and no XP-Weekend etc was ever "indicated" anywhere before ... you're just getting 100% more XP ...

    i think you may have misread how this works, the bonus is for the following week, right now we have 100% extra XP because we only got tier 2 rewards for the past week of this event.

    next week will be the bonus to comendation xp (duty officers) for progressing the bar this week.

    etc etc

    we do have double XP currently as leveling a new toon will jump it 2 levels there abouts at the start of its life.

    I'm not getting bonus for missions but am for doffing. I think it is only paying skill point exp. Not expertise. So until you're level 60 it's sort of broken?

    Hmm worked for me, was "hoarding" Mission XP for the very reason (I know I'm pure evil ;) )= 52-60 in 1min of turning in ~20k Mission Rewards ...

    They just "replaced" the original Blog for "Week 2" ... so nope ... but here is what the original Blog said :
    For the first week of the Delta Recruit event, the contributing event is first-time completion of missions. Every time a Delta Recruit finishes a story mission for the first time, this will contribute to the meter. As the meter hits certain benchmarks, this will unlock progressively better rewards for the following week. Unlocking the initial reward will cause the following week to grant 50% more skill points and expertise to everyone, not just Delta Recruits. Hitting the second benchmark improves this to 100% more skill points and expertise, and hitting the third and final benchmark increases this to 150% more skill points and expertise for everyone for the entire week! And these bonuses apply to specialization points for captains that are level 50 and above!

    The only way to unlock these rewards is to make new Delta Recruit characters, complete the tutorial, and play through episodes. Of course, Delta Recruits unlock bonus account-wide rewards, too, so playing a Delta Recruit is advantageous if you already have another character.

    I've noticed an increase in XP awarded from system patrols, not done much else yet, but the increase isn't being applied to duty officer assignments. But I don't know if they are specifically excluded from the bonus or if its a bug/oversight on the subject.
    Oh, it's not broken? We can soon fix that!

    Again ... worked for me ... had some "finished" Missions stockpiled ... which all doubled ~3h ago ... "Gorn Uprising" (critical) for ~24k i.E. ...

    Every time. Every time there's a bonux XP event someone has to post one of these threads...

    1. Yes, the XP bonus is on.
    2. No, the bonus is not shown anywhere separately, you just get more. Though by now we're all wishing it did get shown separately so people would stop posting these threads every time.
    3. Yes, it works on everything that gives XP.
    4. Yes, we've heard about how this and that doesn't "feel" like its giving the bonus. A million times.
    5. No, nobody cares about your feelings.
