no way would someone grind out the 1 mission and 1 patrol, every day for 20 days.
That all depends on the TFO.
If the TFO is something like that horrible 'Peril over Phavo' TFO.. then Mission + Patrol is hands down the best method.
For story missions, if you esc through the cut scenes and you have a good high DPS Space/Ground setup, you can power though story missions very very quickly. Not only that, but you don't have to wait in queue or depend on anyone else.. the Mission + Patrol option is an entirely single player option that I think many people will prefer.
Plus.. this will probably be the quickest method since the TFO is only 30 points. This feels backwards to me, it should be TFO - 45 points, Story Mission - 30 points.
TFO+ Patrol + Patrol will likely be slower then just Story Mission + Patrol.
Right now, I am looking at doing Mission + Patrol on the days where time is limited, and on the days where I want to enjoy some teamed content.. I'll probably do the TFO twice.
I'm not too worried about it because honestly.. I expect to make quick work of any of these options. This is still Star Trek Online.. there is no reason for me to expect that any of these will take very long at all. Players will quickly find the 'quickest daily method.'
That depends. Some current TFOs can take a while even with a good team, like the temporal one that plays like Groundhog Day, and unless the new ones have short timegates they could take a while. Still, the patrols are supposed to max out to eight minutes at most so if worse comes to worse running those would work.
Yep, it's impossible to know what the most efficient method is right now. If the queue is full of timegates, then it will likely be more efficient to blast through the story mission once a day.. likewise, the same could be true of the story mission.
Heck, we don't even know for sure how long the patrols will take.. so at this point it's anyones guess what will be the quickest method. The problem with events like this that go 20+ days is that it makes people lose interest after 1-2 times and start looking for the quickest way to get it over with. This is what leads to AFK'ing event queues.. so that will also be a factor since that's not an issue for Story Missions or Patrols.
Time will tell.
Had a chat with Ez and Kyle yesterday about the new event.
Since I (well we) have sadly reached the daily gaming time limit as far as toon related stuff is concerned this event will cost parts of our teamed PvE time (18:00-20:00 UTC+2) if to be completed. We will try to make the best out of the new PvE map and the patrols during that time together then. You know, like we do with new reputs. Tag along if you can be around mate.

Yeah, that is my plan. On the days when I can be on during fleet PVE Runs I'll just get my 'daily' by doing PVE with you guys. During other days, I'll do the same as most people and just find the most time efficient way and do that. The extra time sync is not really welcomed, I have to wait to see exactly how much daily time they want us to invest in this. Right now I am just taking a 'wait and see' approach.
Either way, I'll run maps with you guys, I'm always up for that.. just need to get on during your schedule.
Ok, this is already being discussed in the GNN rewards revamp thread, and given its volatile nature, the mods aren't going to try and police them both, especially since it's a duplicate conversation. Please continue the discussion in that thread. Thank you. /Thread
