Bonus Marks Not happening this week?

I guess they need the Zen more than the players. Instead of 50% extra marks, I am getting at most 5 extra marks out of missions. Also, the Random TFOs are no longer giving a choice of marks. Naturally this happens right after they introduce Rep buyouts. Who needs extra marks when you can just pay cash to unlock things? I just tested this on a map I know to give 65 Romulan Marks with the daily bonus. Instead of getting 65+50% I only got 70 marks TOTAL for the mission. Narendra "Kill 5 waves of Hirogen" map.

    You only get the 50% extra on the base reputation not the daily bonus. So 70 marks would be correct. 10 base marks + 5 extra marks + 55 daily bonus marks. It's been this way for a while.

    Bonus is working for me.
    Also, the choice marks from randoms is the box not the choice from the pulldown menu.
    Those marks are dependent on the TFO and on some have some choices.

    So, I guess this isn't quite truthful then.

    "This week, starting Tuesday, September 29th at 8AM PT (17:00 CEST) to Tuesday, October 6th at 10AM PT (19:00 CEST), we are running a special event where Captains can earn bonus Marks by playing content throughout the game!

    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. Start building your Fleet projects and reputations!

    We hope you enjoy this special event and we’ll see you in-game!

    Sorry, but those extra marks you get from running Random TFO's are already BONUS marks. You don't a bonus on top of that bonus. Cryptic has said this repeatedly. It is only for the normal rewards you get.
