The older Q's are dead - need a new Event Q for rep marks for Aoy toons

Please Devs add an event Q where we can pick rewards for any rep that we want. It is very hard to do the rep on 9 different reps for new characters under the current system. Going everywhere for battlezones, spawning missions, etc. Some of the older stuff is dead. How are we to efficiently acquire marks? A Q'd mission that lets us pick any rep mark reward is called for given all the new AOY

Does not help most people as getting a private going repeatedly is hard. Given the launch of so many new toons, a special Q that rewards any marks of choice is definitely called for.
Really? I never heard of that. If it doesn't have temporal marks, I'm guessing it came out before AoY? I find it odd that Cryptic would put a queue only for private teams.
Edit: After looking it up, I feel stupid. I only knew of it as the Na'kuhl red alerts. I noticed they were gone after the event, but just didn't realize you could still do them in private lobbies.

To me it would be better to do several things to keep the ques more actives, and the reps more relevant, as well as make for more players retention largely overall. First would be to slim down on the number of stfs we have que-able in the public ques to consolidating the population into these, while also then rotating these public que line-ups on a weekly or bi-weekly schedule. This would keep content a bit more fluid, as well as fresher, while allowing the players to experience more of the stf-content that get pushed out by the higher payout stfs like Infected space an cca.
Now I would also say that around a fourth or halfway thru the expansions we should see some/all of the reputations get a bit of story progression, as well as maybe even updates to them adding new items/projects to their line-ups. I mean The forces these reps were created to deal with are not gone, so it would be interesting to see what is going on with these groups. Though you could also add missions that are linked with these reps that could have you go into the different stfs, or even a group of stfs completing them, and then when handed in might give you both a large payout of marks/dill alongside a box that contains many items (might even have some unique items for the rep that it is tied to.).
As far as mark needs are concerned I’m really relaxed with the temporal recruits. If they get sponsorship tokens only 625 marks of each type are required. 250 marks of each type we get for hitting lvl 50. I think we get over 600 of choice by finding the probes in the story missions but would need to check on the exact number. For those that participated in the Delta Recruitment event pls don’t forget to grab those acc rewards for the new recruit as well. Not all marks are offered there but most are and it’s another 845 of choice which can be distributed over the reps.
Borg and Tholian marks are a joke to get over the queues. Romulan isn’t that hard either. Think getting the reps to tier 5 on the new toons is not much of an undertaking under current conditions.

I have not gotten a single mark from collecting temporal probes in the story missions. I also did not get any marks for hitting level 50. Has anyone else?
You have to claim them, like other progression rewards. Double-click on the temporal comm thingy in your inventory.
Ok I will try that. Thanks. Still would like one featured Q'd mission to run that rewards any marks.
Omega: Defera
Romulan: New Romulus
Nukara: Nukara Prime
Dyson: Voth ground battle zone
Undine: Undine space battle zone
Delta: Kobali Prime, Delta quadrant patrols
Terran: Badlands
Temporal: Badlands
Defera is super slow to get Omega marks, so you're better off grinding ISA but that still pops regularly because it's the standard candle for DPS measurement. The really crappy one is Iconian, since aside from queues the only place to get those marks is the last 2 missions on Kobali Prime. I'd use your Temporal Agent rewards first on Iconian, then Delta because that can be slow going too. Aside from Temporal Agent rewards, you can wait for a Crystalline Cataclysm or Mirror Invasion event where you can choose your reward. Cashing in summer birds/monkeys and winter epohhs also works. And don't forget you can have your main create a sponsorship token for 100 marks that halves the amount your alt needs to progress through the rep.
Got them. Thanks again. Unfortunately, try as I might I can't find the one on Kuvah'Magh - looked over the whole map. even got the 7k xp bonus for saving all the colonists and the accolade. The map is new, the embassy is new location. but found the old one at the top of the hill with the extra colonist lying on the ground. Still no beacon to be found.
You could be getting marks for everything by raising birds and monkeys and selling them for marks at Risa.... that is what I have been doing to catch up.
Took me a long time too. Finally found at the edge of map, behind and the left of starting point behind a tree
My character Tsin'xing
But I challenge the assertion that the queues are dead. Some maps are not popular. But there's enough active maps out there to cover your needs for every rep right now. BUT, like I said, I support the idea of adding more as it would help.
Yeah, that one is about the only probe I had to actively hunt for. I found mine down by the beam in point, up a hill, by a tree. That was after clearing everything else out up to before entering the embassy.
Most of the others I literally stumbled over going to a mission objective or were just off the path I was taking.
Nukara: Tholian Red Alert
Omega: Borg Red Alert
Dyson: Just do the 2 minute long Supply mission in the Sphere
Delta: Do a Patrol or one of the last two Kobali Prime missions (comes with Elite marks too)
Iconian: Kobali Prime, last two (+ Elite marks)
Romulan: Tholian Red Alert or just a Patrol in Tau Dewa
Terran and Undine: clearing one objective in the Battlezones on your own is enough for the daily bonus, and not really a challenge, since spawns scale to players in the immediate area
Temporal: my Temporal Agent is swimming in them because I always chose them as a reward for probes and such, otherwise Battlezone apparently
To get the new rep on my older chars I usually hope for an CE event or something else that is short and has a choice of marks, or right now - Raising Birds on Risa (haben't checked the account rewards for the new Temporal event, but there are probably marks too claim as well)

Dev's please make a mission where we can pick any Rep mark reward we want. You can even give a lower reward in that mission and higher in the original areas/missions so that they don't become complete ghost zones/missions. It is a bit deceptive to say a mission offers a 'choice' of marks when the choice is really just 2 - Rep or fleet marks. That is hardly much of a choice when there are 10 things to get. 9 reps and fleet marks.

And it's not like most missions require a team that consists of 5 players. In fact, some missions might even be better playable if you don't have a full team.
Don't forget the Battlezones to spice things up.

Delta patrols should give choice of Delta or Iconian marks as the Iconians where the ones behind the war in the delta qaudrant.
And the same for ground and space zones in the Dyson Sphere, the Iconians were behind that too.
Come to think about it, didn't we run into Tholians in the Alpha Quadrant with the first two Missions of the Future Proof Arc. Say that justifies adding Tholian Red Alerts to Alpha as well.

For starters you get 250 marks for every reputation upon reaching lvl 50.
Temporal marks - 250 (reward for reaching lvl 50) + around 1000 (from temporal probes) = 1250 marks (fully repped without hitting the queue.)
Omega - You can get all the reputation marks you need for this in one day from the ISA, KSA, CSA. Infact you could probably fully rep in an hour. 250(reward) + 130(ISA and daily) + 85(KSA) + 85(CSA) + 75(ISA) = 625 (all the rep you need)
Nukara - Just run Crystalline Entity once every day for three days. 250(reward) + 130 + 130 + 130 = 640 marks
Romulan - Do a Tholian red alert once a day for five days. 250(reward) + 80 + 80 + 80 + 80 + 80 = 650 marks
Dyson - Dyson Sphere Battle zone gives massive rewards and you should be able to fully rep in one day there.
Iconian - Gates of Grethor pops regularly. As long as you don't have a rubbish team you should get 120 marks per run.
Delta - These will take the longest - just do a delta quadrant patrol a day for 7 days. If you've got a decent build though, you could always do Battle of Korfez, which pops about every 1-2 mins.
Terran - Do one objective on the map for 60 marks. Repeat for 7 days. Should take about 5 mins every day.
Undine - Undine Assault Advanced pops regularly (1-2mins) and can give you 250+ undine marks a day.
If you had a delta toon, even better. Collect the Delta event reputation mark rewards and use them.
