+Mirror Invasion Event Has Been Extended To Now End On Monday April 7, 2014 At 10:00 Am Pdt.
+Resolved An Issue Where Some Portals Were Not Respawning.
++This Was Causing There To Be Nothing To Do For The Last Couple Minutes Of The Match For Extremely Powerful Players.
Thank You!!!!!!!!!
RL takes priority over games, so I haven't been able to do this much; my main char has only gotten through the MU event like 5 times tops. I haven't even got all 7 of my Lv 50 chars started yet, despite the old MU event being my favorite grind & battle. So now I'll have a chance to complete 14 runs on most/all as well as grind 1 char from LV 48 to 50 so he can start at least and (possibly) get more than halfway.
Again, Thank You! This is much appreciated!!!

Yeah, we appreciate something that was forced to do. Since nobody liked the new event and it was non sense at all. And that is the only thing they changed in the patch. Seriously....
While I appreciate the change to get rid of the downtime for players who were able to close rifts quickly, the new change now seems to make it quite difficult to keep the base alive thus resulting in fewer mark rewards then before this new patch. Just completed a MIN where the team had quickly closed 20-25 rifts (previously this was enough to start the 'downtime'), base was still at full health but due to the new patch the rifts kept opening, basically faster than we could close them. By the end we had 35 rifts closed but a total loss on the base. Final reward was 45 marks, where previously we would have achieved at least 50 (55 marks would have been the reward for closing over 30 with a healthy base).
I think I liked it better before the patch, at least I could do doff missions whilst waiting for the final stage.
It's funny how you noticed us all saying we hated the time gait forcing us to wait even if we closed all the rifts faster. Though instead of actually doing away with the thing we were complaining about, you just made it spawn more rifts during that time... Not what we asked for at all. I'm glad today is my last time needing to run it for the 14 day project. I had originally planned on continuing to run it after the 14 day mark but frankly I'm just glad to be done with it.
Join date is wrong, I've actually been around since STO Beta.

hough instead of actually doing away with the thing we were complaining about, you just made it spawn more rifts during that time... Not what we asked for at all.
Face it, if they did what we asked for then everyone would just pile into Scimitars and the entire event would be over in two minutes. Right or wrong, the whole point of the revamp was to make it less about who has the highest DPS (although realistically, they failed there too).
After all, when do they ever do exactly what we ask for? There's always going to be some caveat.
You're just a machine. And machines can be broken.
Been enjoying the event myself. Guessing it's 10 times harder on Elite because on core mode I've yet to even wonder momentarily if we'd lose the base.
Granted I still am not a fan of "You have 20 days to collect 14 of TRIBBLE and once per day max reward limit" events,...but at least this hasn't been horrible to squeeze 20 minutes to finish each night.

Try it with 12 toons.
four are, thankfully, done now, but eight to go at varying degrees of done.
I know, I know, voluntary and all that.
But that kind of effort has meant my teeny tiny fleet is getting a huge boost to multiple holdings from it.
Well so far I had run the event 8 times. Problem is the reputation mission dropped from my in progress events when I logged in today so I lost my progress so far. Do customer support want to know? Nope. They said raise a bug ticket but they wont respond to people personally so they are not going to fix my issue. I have had this problem with my account before in the past and it never got fixed. I have really had enough, if I start it again now I don't have enough time to get the reward anyway :mad:
Anyone else having issues with AFKers or people doing almost nothing in the mirror event? It seems like almost every time I do it there is at least one person who just flies around doing nothing. Is the AFK penalty not working for this instance?
In the one session I was able to play since the Thursday Patch (27 Mar) I suffered mad rubberbanding and lag, so I could barely move when/where I wanted or do anything; literally watched my ship just sit there ignoring my commands a few times. Equally non-fun was getting bounced all over the map in a blink of the eye to land in ground zero of a mob-clusterfudge & ganked.

Question; I have MDT's that I haven't put into a project yet, because I won't be able to finish it before the event ends. Should I hold onto them, in the event that they're used in a future event rerun?
You're just a machine. And machines can be broken.
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.
have done this several times and the Dreadnaught just comes out at 12'O' Clock with no problems at all been able to finish the mission every time, and I have several characters.

If I was you I would just slot them in the project already so they do not get lost or deleted accidentally and keep doing the event so you are that much closer the next time they do this, which they will the Crystalline Catastrophe is evidence of that.

try 28, I know I am crazy but I get them all done every night.

Popular demand? You mean "Due to the mission being buggy and the servers going down on 2 separate days".
The first day the mission was bugged and couldn't be completed if the rifts were closed while the dreadnaught was hiding. Then a few days later the servers were down for almost the whole day. A few days later the servers were down again for several hours, all due to "networking issues".
So no, this isn't being extended at the request of the players. It's being extended as an apology due to unforeseen events out of your control.

In their defence, when the servers crashed, there was a popular demand for an extension. So it is the truth.
Even if it wasn't requested they probably would have extended it anyway. They usually do when they have servers going down for long periods of time during a special limited time event.
On the bright side it gives Cryptic a chance to look over more data and feedback so they can make adjustments and whatnot and, hopefully, bring back the mirror invasion event permanently, like they did with the crystalline event. And at the same time players get a chance to make up for too many days missed so they can get the event rep reward.
This begs the question: Why Are there Limited Time Events?
All events should be started and then left going so anyone just joining could play them.
It makes no sense for a game company to tell you when to play, this has to be hammered into PWE's head somehow.
If it's a matter of server capacity, time to upgrade, it's not like they are hurting for money, spend a bit here and there to maintain your architecture. This would have the added benefit of stabilizing the system.
I just got back from deployment. Is there any way to complete the event just having started today? Or should I bother?
It's mathematically impossible at this point. The event will only last for another week, and it takes 2 weeks' worth of replays to fill the project. PWE game design philosophy at its finest.

Now, what's really gonna bake your noodle, later on, is that the Dreadnought supposedly has the ability to create its own rifts, so it can return to its own realm. So much for closing all rifts, and 'trapping' it here, then.

Yeah I laugh every time I hear that line in the mission. Clearly whoever wrote this mission, was high at the time.

How many DOFFs do you have? You get a DOFF so if you have max there, it might give you that message.
