Mirror event - dumb question....once per day?

Is it once per day or once per 20 hours?

The Q event had a timer, we could tell when we were eligible to run it again, but we can run this STF anytime, how do I know when I can get another teleporter (or transporter or whatever that event element is)?

    Just have to keep track of when you get the transporter. There aren't any timers.

    Once per 20 hours. There is no in-game indicator for when you last got one though.

    I do Dilithium mining then straight after do the Mirror event so the mining timer is basically my substitute timer for the Mirror event.

    Its not a big deal, just do the event every day at the same hour, and thats it.

    You can run the mirror event multiple times in a day, it's just the matter of the special item which you only get once.

    A timer might cause some people to think that they couldn't participate at all again for several hours.

    I'm just running it when it comes off of cooldown/between other missions and I'll get the special item when it's time for me to get it.

    The extra items will be useful, but we have a lot of margin for error when it comes to completing the primary mission and claiming the Doff and the like.
    Missing a day or three won't be a big deal.

    I slot a 20 hour rep project then do the do the invasion. That means when it is ready to collect then I am getting that item. I still do the mission a few more times just for the marks.

    For me it's the dyson daily. But a timer would be very useful despite there being ways around it.
    This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.

    I dunno what u talking about. Words of cryptic, the event ends in the 3 or 4 april (cant remember). So you have until that date to gather those 14 transporters. The total time cryptic let players to gather transporters was 1 month, less than 1 month. So, make the maths. Less than 30 days to gather 14 transporters, which means yo need to play 3-4 days a week to make it. If you go out for 3 or 4 days, for a vacatations, or visiting someone, you lost the event. That simple lol. I mean, i can play at least 4 or 5 days a week, but A LOT of people will only be able to play 2 or 3 days in a week. And that is not enough. Cryptic again, only thought of players that spent 24/7 in front of the computer.

    If you go out for a week then you can still get enough generators to complete the mission.

    No one has to sit in front of their computer 24/7. You just have to sit in front of it for a few minutes a grand total of 14 times on 14 different days.

    So yeah, totally the same as them expecting you to play 24/7. :rolleyes:

    You have a margin of 16 days, and honestly, a lot of people barely can play 1-2 hours a day when they work, how do you expect that they just get forced to login only to do the event?? is that wise?? or is it stupid? why is the reason to limit the time to only 30 days?? and if so, why not just 10 transporters or less instead of 14??... :mad:
