Who here would like to see Omega Marks increased?It is fine with one toon but multiple you are going to spend on day playing and waiting.I could use more Omega Marks as result of this.

I'm the other way around. I already have loads of Omega, but am having to grind out RomMarks.

Guess i'll have to hit up the Rep Event.

If by increased you mean added to more content, then yes, count me in favor of an increase.

Marks should be earned by playing any content that deals directly with the faction in question.

age03 · November 2012

It could be that or by doing events like STFs etc.

darkenzedd · November 2012

I wish they would do what they said they would and add Romulan and Omega Marks to Romulan/Borg story missions.
A meaningful amount as well. Spending ages on New Romulus just to get 10 Marks is silly. Missions should be awarding 30+ minimum. Featured episodes and story missions 50 and so on...

weylandjuarez · November 2012

I definitely think we're way too light on the Rom Marks - particularly since (unlike the Omega Marks) you can't trade them in for Dilithium.

I just finished the Tier 2 mission and came away with 20 Rom Marks - you could spend a couple of hours on New Romulus and still have less than 100 to show for it.

Adding them to existing content is a good idea but they could still double them easy for the adventure zone missions and events.

The better source of marks are the patrols and Red Alert in Tau Dewa. if you want to earn unlimited marks on the ground fast you have to scan radiation samples. if you are good at the minigame you can get up to 30 marks for scanning 10-15 samples

xantris · November 2012

While I don't care one way or another, I haven't at all seen the need, 75-90 marks an stf seems plenty. Romulan marks are a lot harder to come by in my opinion.

thepantsparty · November 2012

Depends how many marks the mk12 gear takes, but for just progressing through the rep system I have more marks than I can spend just by running an stf every few days.

oneandonlyrecce · November 2012

I'm afraid that I don't have shortage of Omega Marks. At least not yet. When I start producing equipment it might a different, but I doubt it. Dilithium will the limiting factor then.

If you want Romulan Marks, team up with other people.

Doing the Ground missions, with a team of 5, you only need to collect a 5th of what you would have to collect by yourself. :cool:

Doing the Daily Patrol, sure you get more enemy, but they will die a lot faster if you are in a group. And you will probably have chance at better (trash) loot.
Just avoid the Tholian mission at Beta Thoridor or Beta Lankal. The one where you have to beam up artifacts flowing in space. Its bugged. You will get the number of enemies for your team size, but you will all be in your own individual instances. Fightling off 5 times the correct number of Tholians is not fun.

And if all else failed, just spam "Acamer" 5 or 6 times and you've got 60 marks in minutes. Boring but quick.

Omega marks are easy (probably too easy) to get. On the other hand, Romulan marks are a pain and are very slowly grinded. Mine trap is funny but i can't imagine playing it over and over for 2-3h to buy some gear. Farming Acamar is fine but it's a bit repetitive.

We'd need a tough instance rewarding a lot of Romulan Marks - something similar to a STF. Or maybe just more of it across the board but it seems hard to justify.

PvP dailys should award Omega, Romulan and Fleet marks.

Why not cakes and candies too? :rolleyes:

Raising a Epohh to Elder, then trading them in gives 400 Romulan Marks. All you need to do is get 5 Epohh research, buy an epohh, then do doff missions to raise the epohh through its various levels. Might take over a week to do, but there is no chance of failure.

This alone is the reason why I haven't been short of Romulan marks. I pick up the Tau Dewa patrol daily, complete it through several Acamar runs in less than 10 minutes, and wait until the reputation event to hand it in for 25% more marks. Basically it boils down to 75 Romulan marks for maybe 8 minutes of work...by far the most efficient way to farm them.

It will take a lot more time to get "through its various levels".

The long part is getting 5 Epohh Research to get the Epohh. It takes 3 or 4 days to go through the various levels.

keldakinc · November 2012

I've been able to get Romulan Marks by the boatload (the radiation scans and Tau Dewa Patrol have been good to me), but I haven't been able to get Omega Marks as consistently.

For those of you who have an abundance of OM, what are you doing? Elite STFs? Defera? I'd love to know.

lianthelia · November 2012

Personally if they reduces prices on the items a bit I would be happy. Maybe they could make the mark bonus time two hours like they did with the fleet marks.

captainrevo1 · November 2012

I think the romulan missions should offer a little more than they do. they usually offer 10. i think 20 would be nicer.

but id prefer to see an increase in fleet marks over romulan or omega.

vestereng · November 2012

Since I need borg marks anyway it doesn't make sense to get omega marks anywhere but elite stf.

Play one of those, which usually takes less than the optional time limit, and you have marks for 3 gates or nearly a week of downtime.

Of all the marks I think they are the most generous and the last that we should get more of.

Albeit I might change my mind when we get to t5 and see 1 item is 10,000 marks

Omega marks are easy to get I need to get 250 to get to tier 2 and yes I have done elites suffering damage to my ship.

Cryptic needs to be careful now in tweaking things and not to oblige to every single player demand, as players have yet only a short term perspective and tend to overreact.

Omega marks are really relatively easy to get, so what if you can't fill the requirements for an equipment/weapon project in one session of playing 3 hours on 3 or more toons. People want everything NOW. This is not the way it works anymore. If you need to work longer to grind the 500 marks or more for a set item, use the time to slot projects for xp advancement and work on the needed amount during the cooldown.

Also the reduction in Project cooldowns is to be made carefully, because remember, with long cooldown you also have a lot of time to grind the resources for the next project.

What is your secret on getting Omega marks easy hmm?I agree to take your time and wanting everything Now but I did have 50 EDC and 40 rare borg salavages.

It is going to take me week or 2 to get that 250.

jadenmia · November 2012

Despite having multiple toons, I really only focus on 2 or 3 of them, so I really only need the OMs/RMs/FMs/Dil for those focus 3.

And so far, the current system works out for me.

Though I can see how it would be troubling for someone who focuses on more then that. But most players wont have more then 2 or 3 toons to begin with, much less focus on more then that, so it is unlikely that the system will be redone to suit players who alt it out.

If they did add more marks, those players who already focus on a narrow set of toons will have even way more extra left over marks then they do now. They would become like Expertise points are now, you simply can't spend enough to get rid of them.

Who here would like to Omega marks increased?
