Shouldn't the bonus marks weekend have started?

"This weekend, starting Thursday, May 30th at 8AM PT to Monday, June 3rd at 10AM PT, we are running a special event where Captains can earn bonus Marks by playing content throughout the game!"

I'm still just getting regular rewards for doing SB1 TFO.

    The 8 AM was probably intended but they normally open up Events on Thurdays at 11 AM PT instead, so 1 PM EDT. Should be open by now. Again, Proofreading vs. Actual Intentions.

    Well, as of 215pm EDT (Eastern is +3 on Pacific time), SB 1 is still only rewarding normal amounts of Disco Marks without the bonus marks.

    Hmmm...

    The bonus is not being awarded on Discovery marks. It’s working on other marks, just not the one everyone needs.

    Lame. :disappointed:
    Insert witty signature line here.

    Well, that's probably something they should have said in the event announcement, no?

    "During the event, content that provides Marks (Fleet or Reputation) will reward a 50% (1.5x) bonus above normal amounts – this bonus is available for all content that rewards Marks, including the three new reputations that came to Console with Agents of Yesterday. Start building your Fleet projects and reputations!"

    I guess that answers that.

    Thanks.

    I don't think they know what they are doing. Discovery Marks were probably not programmed into the routine that gives the 50% Bonus.

    They awarded Discovery Marks in the Choice Box with the RTFO Bonus award. They did not do that with the Endeavor Marks Choice Box.

    They are either sloppy or have very peculiar ideas of do's and don'ts of what they are including where.

    Looks like there's a fix going in for the Discovery Marks.

    That's much appreciated.

    Glad they're going to include Discovery for this weekend.

    Seems to have made it in already. I got 201 Discovery Marks for SB1 Advanced.
