    Fun bug; if you close all the rifts while the mirror dreadnought has retreated through temporarily then it has no way to come back and the mission can't be finished.

    Thanks for play-testing the mission first PWE, love having my time wasted.

    The mission is bugged when the mirror dreadnaught comes through I used my science ship to try and close the rifts and even thought he bar went across and should have closed the rift but it didnt I had to do it 6-7 times before it closed and by that time when I moved onto the second rift the tacs in the team had already destroyed the dreadnaught. So yet again this is a mission for tacs as it seems the closin rifts and possibly the eng side of the missions seemed to be bugged. I don;t know what your quality team were doing when they tested it but there not doing there job properly.

    Get this sorted as this kind of bug will make me stop the grind because is makes the mission pointless if you can't do what your ship does best.

    I'm beginning to think that we are the testers as every mission they have when it goes live is bugged to hell and now we have to wait till next thursday before these bugs are sorted

    Thanks for the alert. As far as I know, the Dreadnought should b able to re-enter on it's own, but I am looking in to this to see if it's a prob.

    Will post more details as I get them.

    Thanks!

    Nope. Totally can't as no doubt your team has found out based on your next post.

    Still, fun event despite the bugs. Love how each class has things they do better.

    Do not move your ship, stay still when closing.

    I tried both elite and regular. Both are quite fun!
    Closed a lot of rifts with science ship on regular and got about the same marks as elite.

    I've had both types of dreads appear, although it always show the Galaxy-X in the cutscene.

    I haven't had a chance to try it, but I had a question. I know that the rewards for the event rep system can only be obtained once every 20 hours. However, does the mission itself have a separate cool down to allow us to keep replaying it to get the regular rewards?

    Yes - 25 minutes

    BTW, somebody needs to tell the station commander about the glory of battle. Or maybe about villains that need to surrender. Or maybe about how Millennium City is his home now, and that he will protect it with his life.

    (yes, the voice for the station commander is Ironclad from Cryptic's Champions Online - either that or it REALLY sounds like him)

    What's the cool down on the Multidimensional Transporters? Is it a 20 or 24 hour timer? (blog says "once a day")

    Is it working as intended that my own abilites interupt the rift closing?

    Umm.. How many times am I got to have to watch that cut scene?

    The first one is skip-able, which is great. The second one, isn't. After five times I know there's a Gal-X coming through the rift and it can warp out. Now 5x 14= Far to many hours lost!

    I'm already fed up with it after today. By the end of the week I think I'll be dismissing my Gal-X...

    Unfortunately the even takes entirely too long to be a log in daily event. I have 3 main toons that I play. If i want to do the 14 day run, then I have to take almost a full hour of my time just to repeat a mission 3 times.

    Agreed, the timer on the first part should be cut in half, or removed entirely. Maybe have it progress to the end boss after you get the station defenses fully powered up or something.

    Really like this.

    I do think that the timer is too long though. I had several matches earlier where my team and I were just flying around doing nothing for 3-4 minutes. We had the base at level 5 and had popped all the rifts. I think it really needs to be shortened.
