so I just read we can only get one crystal shard or w.e every 20 hrs. and the event is only on for 4 days. the project for the event needs 14 shards so no matter what you do there's no way to get the event done. so its basically just another pick rep points pve que....

    Basically, yeah. I thought, I know stupid, I'd actually get some gear for my ship. LOL Crazy I know...

    If an event is like this, at least make it fun. It's 5 minutes of shooting at a thing.

    Gotta agree that we couldn't have gotten a more boring event to lead out with.

    Well true, but consoles get Mirror Universe Invasion event at the end of October which is a bit more evolved then just shooting one thing. With that event you get to shoot alot of things..... and activate alot if things. If you do both of those things enough before the timer runs out, you get wait........ and wait......... and wait......... and wait until the timer finally runs out and the Boss spawns.

    Atleast with Crystalline Cataclysm the queue can end quickly. Its a good thing for people who do the event on multiple characters.

    Lol, yeah. I appreciate how quick it is and all. Just sucks in that there is literally nothing left on console atm (4 rep dailies) and this only adds 1-2 mins of playtime each day. Was hoping that it would be somewhat of a challenge or at least harder than the other advanced PVE Ques. Torpedo should be fun though. Might swap it out for the omni array for a bit and play with it since I can't upgrade omni yet.

    To be honest, I rather to the Crystalline Calamity Event rather than the Mirror Invasion Event.

    CCE is at least quick even though it is simple.

    MIE (not to be confused with Miner Instabilities Elite on the PC) is a somewhat long mission and it can either very annoying and / or boring as well. Rifts can form very close to each other so when players are trying to close one rift ships coming out of the other rifts start shooting at you which interrupts closing the rifts. If you cannot destroy them quickly you can find yourself getting swarmed. For this reason it is generally a good idea to team up rather than trying to close a rift alone. A couple of times during the event for the PC I was in a situation where I was close enough to close 1 of 4 rifts.

    If you are on a good team with lots of firepower can players that cooperate with each other it is possible to close all the rifts within 5 minutes. That leave the remaining 5 minutes with nothing to do except to wait for the Dreadnought to arrive. That is a very long a boring 5 mission.

    In summary if the team sucks, then it will be an exciting mission because you will be fighting until the Dreadnought arrives. If the team is too good, then the missions is going to be rather boring.

    Okay, Crystalline Cataclysm is a fast fight for us console users, but I remember all too well what he Entity was like to fight in Red Alerts/Fleet Actions 5 years ago. Be thankful the TRIBBLE will die! I used to see far more T5 and T6 ships pummel that thing for up to hour and barely scratch it.
  • bigasstokerbigasstoker Member Posts: 26 Arc User
    yeah im not rly mad at the event I just never scrolled over to see it went into oct thought it was just a weekend thing I was like well that makes no TRIBBLE sense. but yeah its not bad excited to see the torpedo in half a month rofl.

    You may find it a little less dull with how poorly geared console ships are compared to the PC counterparts...

    Even on Console the Crystalline Entity dies pretty fast.

    yeah my rom t5 warbird has all anti proton purple M13 and two of them are 14 with a couple of the infinity symbol weaps. And in every match we've beaten the 4 min timer by a landslide maybe takes 3.30 at most
