I understand they want to "slow the grind" after getting bonus marks daily they honestly expect us to keep grinding for less? waiting months for a mark event is really stupid half the time i queue up now there are not enough people in the queue to start anything other then azura nebula which is like nails on a chalkboard now cryptic just took the last reason for many of us to log in away
make the game less fun great vision Steve

yes after getting the gear i want on all toons what else is there besides rep? they should have never given us bonus marks in the first place because a lot of us were used to getting extra marks and its hard to make less marks now while grinding the same missions hundreds of times
If people would look at other things besides the rep grind, they would find more.
like what? after the gear grind, SB grind, embassy grind, mine grind, spire grind what else is there
I'll give you a big one to do after all the rep grind.
Foundry.
if there was a reason to do them i would how about attaching a mark box to foundry missions
And story mission replays...
On topic: isn't the mark event next weekend?
yeah its next weekend at this rate it will be 2 times per season i assume the next one will be in spring
And I miss Mirror.
yes it was a mistake how they thought this would "help" the game by making us grind even more is a mystery in fact it had the opposite effect on many players who wont grind marks at all now until the event
If that is true I'd like to say that collecting Rom marks is and was annoying and tedious, even with the bonus marks event.
So the rewards here are horrible and completely not in line with things like the Dyson battlezone, in the first place.
The bonus marks event just makes it a bit less annoying.
All other reputation systems are a lot less problematic. Maybe Nukara ground suffered, too, since the event had a sizeable impact on rewards there.
But back to the Romulan marks and reputation. Epohh tagging is fine. Tau Dewa sector patrol is fine. Apart from that I consider everything else not worth my time. So collecting a bunch of marks in one go (aka grinding) is not really viable.
This is mainly due to the fact that the rewards on New Romulus are a joke. Compare it to some proper Dyson battlezone V-Rex tagging and you see something like 1/5th to 1/10th the marks minus the Dilithium.
In short:
- Gathering New Romulus reputation marks is the horror
- Rewards on New Romulus should be increased considerably (somewhere around x3, maybe with some Dilithium added)
- Azura and Vault should also yield a bit more marks
Problem is: it's not to much grind in the game... As long as you just play one character.
It's far to much grind if you have multiple. And the sponsorship token might ease that but it doesnt resolve the issue at all.
Since it seems the majority of the player base basically just plays one, the "grind" is balanced towards those. And for them the Dyson zone is far to easy, and the general rep progress may be a little to fast in general.
I wouldn't mind there being some kind of daily events, but what kind of things could they do for daily events. Weekend events are kind of odd in that they are every other weekend and for 4 days. Why not have a weekend event be 2 days and every weekend.
1, the hourly events got people to gather for specific things on a routine and frequent basis. I could cue for and start some stf's within 30 seconds. now it's likely 3 minutes of having to watch the screen so I can click engage on the box that always sets itself to center screen to hide behind other windows.
2, Azure Nebula should be able to generate enough marks on one run without the bonus running to be able to do the daily rep mission. as it is, it returns 24~ marks (was 30~ with bonus), which quickly got to the point of needing something more just to complete a basic rep mission.
The least they could do is update the old daily part at the bottom of the journal and say the next event is... rather than "This weekends event is coming soon...." for the past two weeks. I can see it on the calendar yet so many people in zone ask when the next FE mission/event starts.
