50 days to grind New Romulus Rep? For reals?

realisticalty · May 2014

Did my Dyson and my Omega, went back to do New Romulus (do love the ground design) and at 2K / 20 hours to grind the rep, that's essentially 50 days (because in reality, 20 hours becomes once per day) assuming I don't miss a day.

Wish there was some way to auto-repeat a project 50 times, or at least "repeat last project again."

admiralcarter · May 2014

AFAIK all the Reputations do have the same requirements and XP rewards.

So yes for the first time it takes 50 days... but hat goes for any reputation.

Will be alot easier for your alts (if you use any) with the sponsorship token. Its like a Double XP token and you get Reputation maxed in no time (if you do the hourlys too)

Actually, daily project gives you 2500 xp.. so you will finish it in 40 days.

This is correct. 100000 / 2500 = 40, not 50.

Less depending on how often you do hourlies and rather or not you're sponsored.

And you can do the small less cost-efficient hourly project 3 times a day which allows you to get and extra 600 and finish the rep in 33 days. I started doing that after getting the Undine set torpedo launcher and will hit T5 in a week unless I miss one.

I wanted to just say that I thought it feels like it takes too long in calendar days to climb the Romulan Rep tier, not to quibble about the specific #'s....maybe its because its my third tier and starting to feel the grind that I did not feel as much in the first two....starting to dissuade me from bothering with a 4th anytime soon...

The daily for New Romulus says 2000 Romulan Republic Reputation and 340 Dilithum Ore.

Yes, I agree my alts will have a much easier time of it, not just with 2x RXP but also because I can focus on my main and the time will seem to fly by faster as it will be happening "in the background" sortof.

And yes I know about the hourlies, my schedule won't let me pop in every hour as much as I would like.

Doing 2 Tau Dewa Sector Patrols per week nets you 230 Marks under the new system, IIRC. 7 Days of Dailies uses 210 Marks. This means you are doing minimal work per week to eventually get to T5. So you donate 2 hours a week to Rom Rep and you can spend all the rest of your time doing whatever you want. That seems like a descent system to me, even if it does take 40 days.

Then why didn't you level up all four (or now five reps) at the same time?. Its very easy to get 100+ marks of any rep while playing their respective elite content and those will last you for 3 to 4 days if you just do the rep dailies.

So instead of waiting 40 days just to do one reputation, get your act together and work on all of them at the same time.

I just checked right now on two alts, one sponsored and one not.

They said 5000 and 2500, respectively.

oh yes, definitely. I for one like it as i have no need to grind bunnies anymore (only time i did that was on my main over a yaer ago during the 2012 winter event...snowpile digging for the win)

farmallm · May 2014

The Rep Grinds are very easy. I don't see why someone would fuss over it. Best thing it don't feel like a job. I was on a MMO in the past. You was forced to do their missions each day until it was done if you wanted to advance in the Rep Grind. Cause you couldn't build up points at all. And just had to turn them in. You actually had to do a mission.

Think this is bad. Go to a game where your forced to do the same handful of missions for 40+ days just to get Rep. Then come back and say this is a bad Rep Grind.

architect13 · May 2014

Really?!? The requirements for the reps have been watered down so much it is ridiculous. The rep system now is more like a glorified doff mission. Maybe if the Rom rep came with participation trophy that would be better?

Seriously, they are soooo easy now.

antoniosalieri · May 2014

Assuming you log in every 20 hours... with only doing the daily mission it is in fact. 33.33 days to be technical about it.

Having said that... the rep isn't itended to be done in a couple days or a week. They are however zero stress now... there is no real need to grind ANYTHING for rep.

You get a purple box once per day... that is over 100 marks... if you complete say the space 5 zone clear per day. That is enough to start 3 20 hour missions. If your lazy you could take 2 days off an not run out of marks.

It takes 1200 marks to Complete a rep (40 missions 30 marks per)
Earning the Daily purple box and completing a mission with it once per day.... is 3960 marks. Leaving you 2760 marks to spend on gear... not to mention the bonus marks when you complete tier 5. (you also by default earn 14,400 D which pays for one piece of gear anyway... also tier 5 reward gives you enough D for another piece.)

If you have a Rep Token from a previous toon finishing the rep... that number is halved which is pretty spiffy.

The rep has be de-ground by Cryptic... if you are still grinding you are doing it wrong.

donowick · May 2014

The rep is very easy now all you need to do is get one toon to T5 and the rest give tokens to them. With tokens the other would get to T2 in 3 days and before you know it they will be T5.

hourly thats a joke the cost of it is 50% of the dayly and give you only 10% of the reputation xp so its not worthed doing it

dayly cost is 30 of the faction mark 2000 expertise and 15000 enegy credit=2500 comand point

hourly cost is 20 faction mark 1000 exp 7500 ec=200 comand point!!!

so thats 75% mark 50% exp and 50% ec for not even 20% comand point

How do you level up all 5 reputations ???

I mean with 11 Hours sleep , 8 Hours work , 1 Hour travel back home time , 2 hours household time , and lets say 2 hours time with your wife and kids you take like 24 Hours ....to play the game person with a normal life (( as mentioned above )) has to do compromises to be able to play at all...PLUS time to get the reputation done...maybe even roleplay or do episodes...or help your friends...

* Not speaking of the dilithium you need for the gear ...fleet and al that stuff...

im just curious... im a person with a non-normal life so i hav emore time to play.. but a person with a life as mentioned above would take a real long time to get the reputaions done since they cannot log in every day...

Let's say you want to level all 5 at once :

- Undine BZ - capture 1 Point ~2min = enough Marks for 2 days
- Voth BZ - capture 1 Point ~5min = enough Marks for 2 days
- Nukura - 1 Daily ~10min = enough Marks for 2-3 days
- Omega - 1 STF / Defera 1 Daily ~10min = enough Marks for 2-3 days
- Romulan - Epohh Tagging ~5min for 7-14 days = enough Marks for the whole Rep

so it's basically 32min every 2 days ... equals ~15min / day ... and only if you're completely new to the game, want to finish all Reps in 40 days etc etc ...

If you're playing since the Rep Stuff came out on the other hand, you basically had half a year for every Rep ... so it's 30-40/182 days to do Rep Stuff for ~5-10min ... shouldn't be too hard for the regular Joe ...

PS : if someone sleeps for 11 hours every day ... he/she should go see a doctor :P

At the very, very most, it takes 15 minutes a day (now more like every two days) to do one rep.

Points are easy to get, and you can get a ton of them on the weekends and not do any all week long. I am doing four reps right now, and my daily rep schedule is usually over before I have breakfast.

1- well its either me and my friends accounts are bugged but its like 15 marks per capture point oO can you tell us how i fix this?

2- somtime sit takes like 2 minutes to walk.. no idea how fast you run? maybe you tell me how we can increase our speed?

3- fair enough youre right on that one.

4- yep youre righ ton that one too.

5- never did tagging since that info windows says i get only a few marks for that... maybe you englighten me?

BUT all you mention above might me right more or less but what you didnt consider is travel time...finding a group time... loading screen time .QUEUE TIME*. waiting for you teammates time.. and so on... so no.. 15 minutes is not wat it takes...

if i am wrong i would like you to capture a video of you doing all this in 32 minutes (( without planning it with ally our friends ..lol no everyone has so many friends ingame ))includign loading screen time .. not using full elitegear .. maybe just use episode gear.. as me... and many others...... maybe that helps me to understand what i /we are doing wrong.

You get like 3 marks for the first day ... but trading Epohh Elders gives you 400 after doing the Tagging + Doff Missions for 3-5 days

Well it's an estimate .... Travel Time might be one thing (without EC - Transwarps) ... but Loading Screen Time & Finding a Team maybe takes 1-2 additional min (at least for me) ... for most of the stuff you don't even need a Team and so on ... if you're doing an ESTF i.E. you'll probably get ~120 marks (including Daily Bonus) ... so it's Marks for 4 days not 2 i.E. ... etc etc etc ... => don't think 15min is that off ... again only if you're completely new to the game, and didn't use the half year for every Rep, when it came out ...

The epoh elder thing you said mean you HAVE to know abotu it..(( the other thing is i hate epohs.. lol it looks like alot of work without shooting...)) also about the event things... i often use already 2 minutes in the loading screen when it stucks at 2%Server not responding (( i only have this in cryptic games )) , finding a team is almost impossible since when i ask i get trolled and thats it...

the Omega Elite ( space ) mission are okay... its 8 minutes for me (( i use jem hadar space set since i got nothing else from episodes))

but as i said , i would really love it if you can record a video of you doing your daily reputation mark grind (( on a toon that dosent have elite / reputation gear / event gear ))

because when i read you it read to me like im stuck in time... everything for me seems to go slow while itread to me like you are a machien or something oO

P.S. i just did undine capturing.. it took us 9 minutes to capture one point (( space sphere))

If you don't want to "waste time" just do it yourself ... tagging 20 Epohhs is pretty easy = 3 Marks + Tags

r9xchaos wrote: »

So it's just 8 min every 4 days ... with just "regular" Equip ...

Why would I need special Equip for tagging Epohhs ... shooting Stuff in the Undine BZ with 20 others (same with Dyson) etc (you said yourself you're doing ESTFs in 8min ... and that's the hardest thing out of all of these)

Sorry not doing a Video, just try for yourself ... you already confirmed getting 4 days worth of Omega Marks takes 8min ... so I'm not sure what you're even arguing about ... even with your Undine BZ, Omega "estimates" it only takes ~20min

r9xchaos wrote: »

Yeah me too ... just dropped in, shot like 4-5 ships with 20 others ... took ~30s (doing 1 Point from the Start without help or just 1 other guy might take 9min)

what you write reads a bit hostile/set up... please.. no offense.. but i speak of ALL reputation...

a daily costs 30 marks hourly costs 20 x3hours(( atleast for undine )) .. means i need 90 marks per day.. i get 120 marks in 2 hours when i do ALL reputation grind

I queue Omega took me 5 minutes to start the queue, took 8 minutes to complete makes 13 minutes only fo omega

I got o sphere to make undine space ... uses 2 minutes to laod map , 9 minutes to capture point... makes 11 minutes

i wait for tholian queue for whole 5 minutes again... completed it in 9 minutes... makes 14 minutes....

untilhere its already 38 minutes...

then there is romulan marks.. ive no diea hwo to get them without patrol... epoh is new to me ive no idea how to breed epohs .. mean i have to learn that .. wich takes also time...

then there is selling inventory stuff wich can also take time if you dont just TRIBBLE everyhing...

its its atleast 45 minute sper day for me.. not 15....

wich is why asked for a video so i can see the difference..

P.S. im not arguing i try to find out what i am doing wrong ... telling you my experience is not arguing.. atleast not where i come from oO im not your enemy... im just asking...why are you callign me someoen who argues? i just want to see if what you say is real....since i read so much stuff and later i find out not all is true and some people just troll.. so a video would be a solid proove and a big help for anyone like me who has issues being that fast...maybe due to the lack of knowledge how to be that fast.

How about not doing Hourlies, then .... why would you do them anyway, if you only have limited time ... just because you're done 7 days earlier ?

Assuming your doing everything .... each and every day ... which you don't need ... -> I'll try again with your estimates

Day 1 : Omega (13min) marks for 4 days
Day 2 : Tholian (14min) marks for 2 days (at least)
Day 3 : Undine (11min) marks for 2 days
Day 4 : Tau Dewa Patrol (15min?) marks for 4 days [without Epohh Tagging]
Day 5 : back to Omega and so on ...

-> and that's worst case scenario imho (and granted Dyson Rep is missing, so you'll might have to add 10min ...) => 21-23 min every day, without Epohh Tagging (are we arguing about 5-10 min more ? )

Interesting oO wich patrol you are exactly doing?

i did carraya wich takes me 10 minutes every run... and i need like 6 runs if i recall it right

thank you for trying to help me .. But at this point i ask anyone else to capture a video of (( all marks )) reputation grinding with just episodes gear... i really want to see how people do all this together in less than 15 minutes..including loading screens .

should be no problem if its really possible.

You're still missing the point, you don't have to do ALL MARKS ... EVERY DAY ... if we're talking about under ~15min a day for All Reps, I might try later today and record it ... but even if it takes 1 hour (32min being my original estimate) it's still ~15min a day because I don't have to do Omega the next 3 days, and so on ...

7x Acamar i.E. drop in, click through Text, shoot one Wave of enemies ... done (120 marks = worth 4 days of Rep)

Do you like trying making her feel like an idioit?

Well how i see it you are just being ignorant.You can not support your claim without proof.Without proof your claim is invalid.

And you seem very hostile towards @r9xchaos.So if you would stop it.She is just trying to see is there is any proof to your claim.

Stop being hostile.

allright, acamar .. noted.

120 marks is 4 days only if you dont do the hourly ones right?

Some people above mentioned the hourly too maybe my ming got stuck into that a bit...

Yes 120 marks (including Daily Bonus) / 4 = 30 (Daily) ... you should only do Hourly if you're having too much time anyway (but that's not your regular Joe, with "normal" Life as you mentioned)
