Elite rewards, what do you think the prize for elite content should be?

I think it should pay refined dil but with a cap of 8k per day in order to safeguard the dil exchange, maybe a cape too. The Feds have been asking for one

    One way trip to Nimbus III
    Space the final frontier. These are the voyages of [your name here] on a five year mission to gain one level after the delta rising xp nerf.

    Same as Advanced. People say they want them 'for the challenge,' so let them put their money where their mouth is. Plus it means ONLY people who want the greater challenge will be there, nobody needing to be carried.

    Just what the Devs decide them to be.

    I'm probably never going to be able to perform well on that level, so for me to express what I would deem satisfactory is redundant.

    Have no interest in elite still upgrading gear will be a long time for that. I'm not even setup for advance (the old elite) anymore. That was with all mark 12 purple weapons, rep gear and fleet consoles lol. :D

    For space: ISE, KASE & CSE.
    Borg ship skin material, like the dark rough patched metal that is on a Borg Cube/Sphere.
    Special Title: Janeway's Protege

    For ground: IGE, KAGE & CGE.
    An integral remod character trait, like "Well Travelled", which takes up no other trait slot.
    Special Title: Picard's Protege

    For Hive: HGE & HSE.
    Trait: Collective Disarray (Space & Ground). Critical hit on any Borg enemy (space or ground) temporarily placates and confuses the enemy.
    Special Title: Queenslayer

    they need to leave the material packs ALONE ... some of them are not easy, even with the changes, and these mats get eaten at a decent rate, as it sits, that should not change, it is a current working formula, they said they wanted input in this case it is on what NOT to alter... lol

    (just a thought on the R&D prize from the elite drop at the end)

    Unique titles for HGE/HSE. (Picard's Protege & Janeway's Protege)

    I like this idea. Maybe put some of the other rep shield skins as rewards as well. Finish Salt Mine elite could reward with a salt vampire boff

    More Marks, more dilithium, and better chance of purple crafting items. Adding anything extra will force teams to carry certain players because the items are too attractive. Elites should be about the challenge and not the rewards.

    Nothing. And most definitely nothing equipment related. Its for those that always complained that everything is too easy and previous elite is for babies and cried powercreep everytime Cryptic made a new thread.

    So: Its hard enough now for those guys (I hope) and no "special" equip = no power creep.

    Nothing? Can they at least get a title? Maybe even a flyby? Even No Win got those.

    A lot of the answers I'm seeing here reminds of crabs in a barrel.

    I'm not an elite player and most likely never be one and I think players that have shown clear skill within the game should be rewarded for that. I could talk about how other games reward their skilled players but I won't so question.

    Could a player who has finished at least one elite STF just get a star next to their name. A little tiny one. Would that be a small enough pat on the back for a job well done as not to hurt anyone's feelings? Better yet, have elite reward the same as normal so players can get even more a challenge out it.

    Honestly, not a damn thing, nada, zero, zilch... maybe a title... that's about it...

    Honetly if you're doing elite you're probably doing it for the bragging rights anyway and nothing else, since you have everything else, and know of better and quicker ways to get everything and anything the game has to offer then eite queues.

    Also not giving rewards out would keep the people who really, really don't belong in elite out of elite.

    Honestly the issue isn't the fact that they get a title or what have you... go for it... I'm cool with it... nothing wrong with that...

    The idea of gear rewards from elite is kind of redundant. If you're doing elites you don't need the gear and know of quicker and more efficent ways anyway to get dilithium, EC, and the like the the slug fest, time sucking elites could give. People don't do elite for the rewards... they do them for the bragging rights and the"e-peen" factor.

    Besides not giving rewards in elite would keep the people out who honestly don't belong there and are only there for the rewards. It's not that I want to TRIBBLE over the people that can do Elite... it's that really the rewards aren't important at that level anymore and it would keep the "scrubs" out of it.

    A swift kick in the pants for whining about the game not being hard enough thus ruining Delta Rising and the game.

    A draft into their country's Army as they have way too much time on their hands.

    The new 1440 dilithium is acceptable
    XP needs to be doubled in elite content
    marks need to be doubled in elite content
    random item drop quantity needs to be increased by a factor of 5. Make elite a great way to get EC!
    More R&D basic mats from elites, large quantities!
    Random doff reward pack after finishing an elite (3 common, 1 uncommon with a chance for rare/very rare)

    Since elite takes bazililion times as long as advanced, we need proper rewards to make it worth it.

    Normal: 1 Rep Special Item, 30 Marks, 1 Advanced Material pack. 480 Dil.

    Advanced: 3 Rep Special Items, 50 Marks, 3 Advanced Material Packs. 960 Dil.

    Elite: 5 Rep Special Items, 100 Marks, 5 Advanced Material packs. 1920 Dil.


    At all levels, a chance at extra, plus 20 Marks per Optional done.

    When they put 1.44k dil back into the elite rewards with the latest patch, they will be fine.



    Now if we're talking bonus rewards, they could make unique things for accomplishing a super hard challenge in each mission

    The Elite queues are for premade groups with all the best gear. What do they need anything for at that level?
