When we didn't hit tier 2 by Sunday night I had thought for sure we wouldn't hit tier 3 this week. And lo when I logged in this morning to do my part we hit tier 3 last night. Congratulations guys/gals, I was proven wrong and being wrong feels so good.

No doubt the next objective will be made 25% less achievable.
Login today and Tier 3 is complete... I honestly wondered if Cryptic had given us a gimme for Tier 3 this coming week or something...
Awesome work, as others have said: I really hope the next weeks task rewards something more interesting.
This might sound insulting. But I get the impression most playing the game didnt know that DOffing was required to move the bar. They probably assumed it was much like the first week. Playing missions for another week of XP Boost.
Guess enough players paying attention finally logged in to notice what it was actually asking of them.
But the CXP bonus will be very nice to help top up my main. I've got about 5 department to bring from level 3 to level 4.
Then ill have mastered all doffing departments.
Seeing as a lot of people don't DOff normally, so they won't bother Doffing on their Delta(if they hadn't unlocked account rewards & deleted already), I have a suspicion that the goal posts were moved backwards this week. Cryptic never released actual numeric goals, so we will never know the truth.

If Tier 3 is complete. That's great and tbh considering how slow it was progressing over the weekend the best I was planning on it being was to at its best. So it's nice to have a pleasant surprise every now and then. And if by some quirk of fate the Devs saw fit to make some adjustments so it moves in our favour. I sure won't complain and if they have done so. Then all I'll say is "Thank you"
I honestly dont see why there always has to be some conspiracy theory thrown in whenever a discussion is being made regarding the game and Cryptics handling of it.
DOffing in general is far easier than doing a single mission for the play through. Sure theres a good bit of clicking involved. But you can easily slot 15-20 DOff projects in a matter of a minute or two versus the 20+ minutes youll spend in a single mission. The Cardie Arc in itself is going to slow even the fastest leveler down a good bit. I myself have only been able to bring myself to do 4 or 5 of the 17 or 18 missions. Theyre that tedious.
If anything Cryptic failed to anticipate the ease in which we'd hit their Tier 3 goal with DOffing.
the only problem is that last week each tier was worth 50% bonus xp so by getting tier 2 we got 100% bonus but this week each tier is worth 15% bonus CXP so even with tier 3 it still doesn't add up to what we got for tier 1 of last weeks bonus and only gives us 45% total bonus.
still every extra is welcome so im still greatful.
When I think about everything we've been through together,
maybe it's not the destination that matters, maybe it's the journey,
and if that journey takes a little longer,
so we can do something we all believe in,
I can't think of any place I'd rather be or any people I'd rather be with.
regardless if its accurate or not or if it was a gimme or not, the rewards should remain active till the event is over, ie we maintain our 100% xp boost, some people might be like na, but im like totally ya....:cool:
I mean we do have a secondary specialization becoming primary and having more boxes added to it, I have yet to still finish 1 single specialization tree ( I know, shame on us casual players who get on for a couple hours a week)
Out of curiosity: is that so, and if: does anybody know why?
its 25% per tier as per this blog post http://www.arcgames.com/en/games/star-trek-online/news/detail/9130503-delta-recruitment-week-2
not exactly sure where you got the 15% but that will be a nice bonus for you to see
I agree. It's turning out to be a great event and I hope a couple of things from it stick around. One being a boost to all new recruits going forward. Maybe not on the epic scale of this event, but keeping the idea of making the journey for fresh toons a little easier.
I had plans to create the character that became my Delta Recruit many months ago. But the monumental task, especially post Delta Rising, of bringing a new character up to the level of my current characters just really put a damper on the idea. It still is a long road, but getting some boosts along the way helped ease the load.
The other is the idea of server-wide goals and rewards. This can have many good uses and bring attention to pretty much any aspect of the game.
What if the bar's progress was determined by the value/length of the missions being finished, and a pile of big missions finished?
It's possible.
Anyways, good job everyone! Let's see what is next up and see if we can Tier III Max it too!
Bort said it's just raw numbers of missions done. I asked if length influenced anything and he said no.
Let the stupid suffer
Forum posters just generally count themselves as "a lot of people" if not even "most people." :rolleyes:
I will mark my claim of the next one being something to do with R&D, only because it seems logical and i am at a loss for anything else it could be lol
And also seeing as a lot of us didn't even do a delta alt to begin with because the rewards just aren't worth grinding another character. Just my opinion, though. Those of you who think this event is the greatest thing since sliced bread, well, rock on.
That said, the current XP payout seems closer to where the game *should* be.
What? Satisfying?
Keep DOffing.
O.o
Nothing else comes to mind?
Rep projects?
Rep tiers unlocked?
Fleet donations?
Queue actions?
PvP?
Gear mark upgrades?
Doff chains completed?
Ship mastery tiers?
Really, the rnd seems most likely but there are plenty more possibilities.
