Been tryin repeatedly to join the advanced queues on tribulation and core assault.

They never seem to queue anymore.

Day, night - nothing.

Is anyone else noticing this, or am I just having epic bad luck lately?

    I don't play them anymore myself, but you have to remember that you need 10 people to play these missions and it's hard enough getting 5 for the normal missions.

    People are also running Mirror Invasion event for their Competitive Marks right now.

    This and Cryptic once again made life easy for those that can't be bothered to run it by including it in Choice packages, which is a big part of why queues are dead! Why run a specialised queue when you can run a quick Borg RA to get them.

    Yeah they should have left these marks for the competitive queues only if they wanted to keep them active. With risa also coming soon people will be turning in birds for competitive marks which will keep these queues dead.

    Still would be easier to run a queue to get the elite mark as well as the standard marks at the same time.

    Cryptic effectively killed the competetive pve queues by adding the marks to the MI event and red alerts, all of which are 5 captain teams over the longer wait for a group of 10 to be found. Daily box gives about a third of a good MI run as well which is even less incentive to wait ages over actually flying about doing something.

    The marks should have been exclusive to the pvevp stuff and nothing else for at least 6 months to a year, with the possible exception of an event specific to pvevp

    You can get Competitive Marks now from Mirror Invasion. In fact, the last 2 days I got me enough of those to fill the entire rep, on both my active toons. So, yeah, consider those queues done for.
