    Wish I could enjoy the Dilithium Weekend Event, but being locked out of my account and Support (#140723-000433) being unable to send me a reset password mail, I guess I'll have to wait until another event...

    'Everywhere else in the game' still includes the Contraband doff missions? Because I started one, and it shows 2000 dil as usual. :(

    P.S. if the Contraband mission doesn't qualify anymore, I would like to know about it as soon as possible, to dump my Contrabands on Exchange before the price crashes. :)

    Also, the images were broken in all blog contents that I saw in the last few weeks. Perhaps some issue with their CDN... (I'm in Central Europe)

    Bonus is applied at mission completion not at mission start.

    I really hope so, but as far as I remember it used to show the increased amount as soon as the event kicked in. I would love to hear some confirmation from people who completed a contraband doff mission since the current dil event started.

    if you started it after 1:00 it should have showed 3000.

    Previously I was able to start it before the event started, and still get the increased rewards at completion. Anyhow, I can live with it if this option is no more. :)

    Though, meanwhile I tried the Defera invasion zone, and the new dilithium rewards don't seem to have been increased per the event description... Got 240 dil for the easy mission, and 480 dil for the hard. :rolleyes: (Or is that 1.5x amount? I'm not quite sure I remember correctly.)

    This event is most welcome but could we please get some sort of marks turn-in option similar to how fleet marks work whereby you select how many you want to convert out of your total amount via a slider.
    This would be far better than doing for example 50 omega marks at a time, especially for those who've been saving marks up for this event and now have 1000's to convert. Let us do it in either bigger batches (say 500 at a time) or one single slider that lets us convert all or part of what we've got in one go for the equivalent dilithium value.

    I got hit with a VERY nasty bug.

    I took the mission for Tier 5 Omega on my Romulan, got the rewards, but ONLY got 4,800 instead of 48,000, so I am a bit annoyed to say the least.

    And before people say "count the zero's" I did, the popup box said 48,000, but my inventory only showed an increase by 4,800 as that now after 8k day refine after doing all the mining areas I have 16,000 Dil Ore

    OUCH!!! Sadly, I wouldn't be surprised if they never fix that.

    Omega doesn't give the 32000 that would give 48000.

    8472, Dyson, New Rom, and Nukara give the 32000/48000.

    Omega gives 9000/13500.

    I've said it before, I'll say it again;

    If you want to increase something Dilithium related, try increasing the refinement cap.

    Can we PLEASE get an easier way to convert marks? I've got 15,000 Omega marks waiting to be converted. Being restricted to 50x makes converting anything more than a couple hundred terribly tedious.

    Heh, I've been trying not to bring this up...admittedly I've only got a total of somewhere between 35-45k marks to convert across my guys, not counting a few hundred of the Elite bits, but lol - I'm glad this runs over a period of days, cause it's killing me...I'm getting goofy, singing along - doing the order different - if I had a chair that could spin, I'd probably be spinning in it...cause I'm losing my mind with it.

    Course, that got me wondering - how many are doing the w/50 and how many are doing the Hourly w/20-w/15?

    100 Marks @w/50 = 1500 Dil
    100 Marks @Hourly w/20 = 2550 Dill

    150 Marks @w/50 = 2250 Dil
    150 Marks @Hourly w/15 = 5100 Dil

    If I had nothing to do during this event otherwise and had oodles of caffeine, I know which way I'd go...but I don't, so I'm going to be eating the convenience tax out the wahzoo on my conversions...

    Looking at this one guy (one of my rarely played guys) I'm about to start.

    683 Undine; 13x 50 for 9750 Dil vs. 34 Hours of 20 for 17340 Dil; losing 7590 Dil
    825 Dyson; 16x 50 for 12000 Dil vs. 55 Hours of 15 for 28050 Dil; losing 16050 Dil
    858 Romulan; 17x 50 for 12750 Dil vs. 57 Hours of 15 for 29070 Dil; losing 16320 Dil
    1093 Nukara; 21x 50 for 15750 Dil vs. 72 Hours of 15 for 36720 Dil; losing 20970 Dil
    506 Omega; 10x 50 for 7500 Dil vs. 33 Hours of 15 for 16830 Dil; losing 9330 Dil

    So yeah, I'm eating 70260 Dil by doing the 50 conversions instead of spreading those hours out over the event and doing the conversions that way...heh, and this is a rarely played toon - going to be far worse a loss on other toons. Oh well.

    edit: The above is based on being T5 in the Reps, where the Hourly is currently providing 510 Dil for 15/20 Marks vs. the 750 Dil for 50 Marks. 8472 is the only Hourly requiring 20 Marks, the others are 15 Marks.

    That is a BIIIIIIIIIG Loss... I have the time do to the 15/1h but I went the 50 mark way... made a big loss too but.... what can you do... tomorrow I shall start half the day by doing 15/1h and the rest just 50 :D

    It is kind of depressing to think how much is going to be lost amongst the nine toons; but I just don't have the time to do it that way. Had thought about doing it partial...doing as many of the Hourly as I could and then spending the 27th to convert the rest; but I didn't want to risk something coming up and not being able to do the conversions. So meh, I decided just to eat the loss.

    Just to make an update: the DOFF missions gave 3000 at completion, so everything is all right. :cool: The regular 2000 is visible only before and during the DOFF mission.

    This really needs to be a thing. 16,000 marks takes 80 minutes to convert, and that's not counting the human factor. I'm guessing it wouldn't be too difficult to add x10 projects (500 marks/30 Processors, etc) for this, and it would be a tremendous boon.
