Ok, play crystalline catastrophe event 14 times for 14 days is not a big deal. But when you have 9 characters (3 Fed, 3 klingon and 3 Romulan) you have to play it 126 times. 126 times!!!!! Come on!!! Why dont Cryptic do this like the Summer Event or Winter Event? After one character complete the event, other characters on the same account should gain the prizes after 1 run.
Does cryptic Dev's answer questions made here? Because i really want to them think about how frustrating this is. The event is starting to became annoying (im been polite) and i didn reached half of it.
ALL events should rewards all characters after one complete it!
What you guys think? And what you guys from cryptic think about it?
{EDITED: So much rage with people here that i will have to edit my post and make it more clear!
Duty Officers should be reward to all characters on an account. Only that. Not the money, not the dilithium, not the marks... only the UNIQUE item, in that case, the DOFF}

And based on your post count... I'm questioning the reason for posting this thread in the first place.
normal text = me speaking as fellow formite
colored text = mod mode

Now, in your case, we have 9X100000=900 000dil, not counting dil from running the queued mission itself (960) and dil from trading the marks. And this is by running the event once per characters (except one).
And you don't see the problem. Yet, even with acute blindness, you are able to post on the forum. Amazing.
And I want a pony. Please cryptic make it happen.
When is the next dil event again?
I think that nobody's forcing you to play nine characters, ergo it's your fault you're feeling rushed.

You think people listen to logic? According to everyone who complains, Cryptic is holding a gun to their head and barking out orders to grind the every single thing on every single character despite not needing it o
n every one.
And talking about "acute blindness", its that hard to see that im talking about the DOFF and not the dilithium? gavinruneblade was able to see that!
What is your problem people?!
So, let me put in a away that a plancton could understand.
Dutty Officers rewards should be aquire to all characters of an account.
And please, if you dont know how to keep a conversation, dont click on reply. Do us that favor, please.
Personally I have four characters and I'm running the event on all of them, its a bit of a drag but I consider it time well invested for 200k dilithium reward.
Perhaps you should look at it that way, 450k dilithium is not to be sniffed at (imo).
I have an Fleet Admiral in our KDF fleet with 15 characters, I don't envy his grind but I do envy the results. He has his head down firmly devoted to the grind, but boy is he going to be rolling in it by the end of this.
"If this will be our end, then I will have them make SUCH an end as to be worthy of rememberance! Out of torpedos you say?! Find me the ferengi!".
During the Dilithium event you get +50% bonus dilithium so that would be 50k+25k=75k dilithium, not 100k as you wrote.
Basically because the reward is dilithium. Cryptic is already making it very easy for max level toon to earn dilithium with this event. It has a direct affect on the dilithium economy. The summer even is different, you are grinding for a ship which does not affect the game's economy direct. Indirectly it can if you are spending ECs and dilithium to equip that ship, but that is a different issue. Additionally, the dilithium generally gets converted to Zen, when that happens the exchange rate will increase meaning you need more refined dilithium to convert to Zen.
Cryptic does not require players to have 9 characters. That is your choice. There are even some people who proudly state that they have 32 characters. It is also your choice if you decide to grind the event for all 9 characters. You don't have to if you do not want to.
Just counting the 50k dilithium or reward people who have 32 toons would easily get 1.6 million dilithium ore from the event if it was as simple as completing the event on one toon, then all the others would only have do the even once. Something like this would more or less wreck the dilithium economy. I would think that you can easily see the exchange rate increase from 177:1 now to at least 400:1 (dilithium : Zen) if you were to make things so easy that players can easily abuse the system.
I play the event with 5 toons. I actually find the Crystalline Event extremely refreshing from the usual Crystalline Catastrophe that I play it multiple times per toon per day. I do it because I want to enjoy it before it disappears and it also allows me to fulfill the daily 8k dilithium refine quota (or as much as I can). I generally play it 3 or 4 times per toon per day when I have the time to do so. That means I play the event as many as 15 - 20 times per day if I have to time to do so. If not then I only play the event 2 times per toon or 10 time per day in total.
In short, I play this event multiple times per day simply because I enjoy doing so. I am not doing it because somehow I think Cryptic is forcing me to do so.
IM TALKING ABOUT THE DUTY OFFICER!!!!
Why people insist in bring the dilithium TRIBBLE to this topic?
Im not a grinder. I dont want the dilithium. I dont want ZEN's! I want the DOFF.
And if to acquire that doff the only way is to play the CE, than yes, im been forced to do so. With all my characters because i play with them all.
And what im saying it not a absurd since CRYPTIC already do this with ships like the Summer Event and Winter Event.
Please, think on those events. Remember that after one character acquire the ship, others characters just need to play the mission once to get the reward.Forget the dilithium. PLEASE!!!!
For those who still didnt get it, please, dont use your rules to measure me. Im not interested in the dilithium or the EC or the marks... Thats not the subject here.
I just think the unique reward item of the event should be shared with all characters in an account. please, no more dilithium talk or "you made 9 characters so its your fault..."
'Cuz the dilithium is part of the reward package.
If the event did not have dilithium as part of the reward, then perhaps what you propose will have more merit.
Grind 'Events' are designed to capture your attention and bring back part-time players prior to the launch of new content. With each visit the players get a little more information from a variety of sources, building anticipation for the 'big event'.
It's a building event - one designed with single toons in mind. Single toon players are more likely to spend $$ for zen to get the latest and greatest as they don't farm dil in the way multi-alt players do.
For those of us with multiple alts - lets call them full-time players - these grinds can be ridiculously boring. We too are driven to do them primarily for the doff as well, and to some extent the dilithium. We'll also buy zen for upgrades, but a 'decent' portion of our expenses may be paid for by the grind.
My seven alts can do R&D, daily dil refinement, the event AND squeeze in a few ground runs in under an hour and a half. Add an hour for socializing (frankly the real draw atm), and my daily playtime is complete. I could do more, but IRL i have things that require at least my half-attention.
We've seen this before (CCE, Mirror Incursion). Both were 'successes'.
