I just did a regular one in a mirror Ha'feh warbird and I know I blew up at least twice when I got mobbed and I couldn't close the darn rifts because I'm getting shot at.
There's a button on your Ha'feh that says "Quantum Absorption". It is on that little singularity sidebar. Pretty easy to close rifts with that running. Pretty easy only because about one shot in 30 or 40 will actually do a point of damage, which is slightly irritating. :cool:

They didn't make the dilithium/mark rewards for the event project account based.
I guess someone could do this event with 27 alts and 27 chars. i think the afk timer should be disabled for this event too, so all you have to do is join the event and camp at the start point and after 3-5 minutes collect the reward and switch your chars and alts. you could even perfect it and save some time if you multibox with your chars. 10 chars at once shouldnt be a problem if you own a top highend gaming rig and lower the graphic settings on the other game clients. hehehe lol

I've had poor luck with it this go around, with the close failing, even with me having almost full bonus health (and QA activated with a full charge, too).
One of the things that bothered me the most are the ships that start shooting you from outside of 10KM. While trying to close rifts, I had multiple occasion where a ship outside of 10Km started shooting me. Some were even at 14Km out.
This either needs to be fixed, or they should let us start shooting from that same distance. But letting us close rifts while being shot would make a huge improvement.
Yeah I've noticed that too. The number of times I get hit by torps from ships that are 15Km or more away from me whilst I'm closing rifts is ridiculous.
Join date is wrong, I've actually been around since STO Beta.
True alters don't have a "main". Account wide unlocks for all unique event rewards!!

Even the "Oh Hell!!" bubble of the Vesta 3 piece doesn't stop me getting interupted. When I am interupted I see that a phaser has proc'd no damage just a asystem taken down.

I'm grudgingly going to start doing it with 6. I find that having many alts is a nice thing in some ways but in others it's a real pain in the backside especially with leveling things as they are after Delta Rising. This should provide a decent XP boost for the toons I have that aren't far from 50. I figure by the time I get my second toon to 60 I'll have the other four leveled to 55 on duty officer assignments alone.

Well, I did say "pretty easy". I find that when I use QA to close a rift under fire, I usually close it without interruption about 40% of the time, and I only rarely get interrupted twice or more. Strange that the Vesta bubble lets the phaser proc interrupt you - with QA it isn't the proc, but occasionally I'll take a hit for 1 measly point of damage, which is enough to interrupt.

WTF Cryptic no marks and no reward for doing the daily grind I was well within the time and got the marks coming up but no reward are you f****** kidding me. No wonder this game is getting played less and less by me. If you can't do it right sell the game to someone who can.

The interrupt-on-damage feature makes this event incredibly irritating. When running Quantum Abosrbtion, 1 point of damage sometimes slips through and interrupts. I don't mind the rest of the event, but closing rifts is the most annoying part.

This! This x 10!
If we can interrupt and close rifts while being fired upon in Disconnected, should we not be able to do the same in MI?
This is my biggest gripe of all. Aside from, more often than not, I think most people go in simply to get their daily trinket and don't even try to close them, therefore they lose the station bonus when the map is flooded with MU ships.
Now a LTS and loving it.
Just because you spend money on this game, it does not entitle you to be a jerk if things don't go your way.
I have come to the conclusion that I have a memory like Etch-A-Sketch. I shake my head and forget everything.
The point is you're SUPPOSED to be interrupted. It's about teamwork. One person fights, one person sneaks (closes rifts).
If everybody could close rifts while in combat, it would be over before you can blink and you'd have nothing to do for 7 minutes. On good teams that happens ALREADY. I had to wait 6:45 once and longer another time. If only the mission did a logic check and cut the timer SHORT once all tiers of starbase defense were active, and once all rifts stopped spawning. It should just jump to the flagship encounter once that happens.

Except that there has been very little teamwork lately. That's the problem.
Yes, I've been in queues where the teamwork was exemplary, but more often than not, there was no teamwork worth speaking about. People have even been boasting about going in and sitting at the edges doing nothing until the dreadnought spawns.
On an unrelated note, I would like to know what that 300 second timer is on forum posts, this is the first forum I've ever posted on that has a timer on posts.

Really? Every forum I've ever posted on has had one. 300 seconds is harsh though.
Anyway, I believe it's an attempt to control spam, particularly from gold-seller accounts.
It doesn't appear to be working amazingly well, tbh........
here we go again. so many people complaining. why play the game if you dont like what the guys that make it and plan it ,on the hole do a good job. its getting bigger and i think better. so. stop complaining and play it if not go away small minded people. go play cod 9000 or what ever the new one is. coss you cant even get on line with that HA HA HA

No, this is the first forum I've seen that has a timer. Of course I don't post on very many and they're generally smaller, with just a close group of friends who regularly post, so it's not really needed.
Anyway, I don't even post here very often (as evidenced by my post count), so I guess it doesn't matter all that much.

So I just got the email about the event that ends in 16 days and needs 14 days of participation to get the highlight item... and I'll be lucky if I can play it 8 times in the remainder.
Kind of cruel to just let me know what I'm missing out on, guys.
dam it why is it i always miss these dilithium bugs :mad:
be glad you didn't get more dil than they wanted you to. they consider it stealing from them
-Rule of Acquisition #113: Always have sex with the boss.
-I am one of the many victims from the hijacked Caspian Division.
I will not let the childish acts of a criminal ruin this game for me.
-The actions of Cryptic, on the other hand......
Mirror Event is currently not available, allegedly due to it awarding wrong (ten times) amount of dil on Advanced.
I hope they extend the event to compensate for this
Also, while it does now reward Delta marks if you complete it, it does not reward delta marks when you fail on advanced.

Nitpicking is a time-honored tradition of science fiction. Asking your readers not to worry about the "little things" is like asking a dog not to sniff at people's crotches. If there's something that appears to violate natural laws, then you can expect someone's going to point it out. That's just the way things are.
They've extended events for reasons related to technical difficulties before, so it wouldn't be a surprise.
I hope so. I am away for a few days, and was due to complete it within 2 hours of needing to leave for my flight. However, thanks to the server downtime earlier, and now this, I will not be able to complete the event.
I sincerely hope Cryptic will extend the event by at least a day.

Yet another instance of announcing things on social media while ignoring there own forums.
