Dev blog states:
Everywhere else in the game: (including turning in Marks/Neural Processors/Cybernetic Implants, etc.)

50% Bonus Dilithium Ore

Only I just checked and it doesn't. Turning in Rep and marks grants no bonus whatsoever.
I am getting tired of this 'take, take, take' attitude from the devs.

Where the hell is the 'give'?!

Is this some form of twisted psychology experiment where you are trying to see how far you can push the playerbase before they snap?! Well check your metrics, I haven't spent a dime on this game since this whole sh*tshow started.

    The event shouldn't be running before 10 a.m.....as usual.... just wait a few minutes. :o

    This was stated. At least on the FB announcement. I do wish they'd announce stuff on the **official** forums.

    But did you really expect anything less?

    Use the official forums? Are we back in the 90s? Think of the likes they'd be losing!

    The posted in the Holodeck release notes that some things no longer get the bonus, which oddly I cannot find... odd...

    Dilithium rewards from completing Event Reputation Projects no longer receive a bonus.

    It states in the official blog on the front page that mark turn ins should give 50% extra dilithium, only the event rep projects don't any more.

    I had the same issue with the last Dil bonus weekend. I'm just tired of missing out on events because they either don't work at all, or they're too bugged to complete. This has been happening for way too long, and i'm not sure i've seen an MMO struggle so much with general content releases. Sure, some issues are expected on new things, but not nearly as much as Cryptic seems to have any time they add things.

    It really doesn't reflect well on them.

    Yep, all rep marks and BNP's etc...are not granting the extra 50% dilithium.
    If you've come to the forums to complain about the AFK system, it's known to be bugged at the moment.

    50% Bonus Dilithium Ore

    Dilithium rewards from completing Event Reputation Projects no longer receive a bonus.

    This also includes the large reward of 50,000 Dilithium a player earns when completing a reputation.

    http://www.arcgames.com/en/games/star-trek-online/news/detail/9065993-dilithium-weekend-event

    So tell me why is there no bonus on turning in marks/Neural Processors/Cybernetic Implants,

    Quality reference.

    Found another stealth nerf if anyone is keeping track...

    Prior to the patch you could craft multiples of omega stuff (slivers, shards, fragments and tech) - up to 5 - if you had the required input.

    Its now one at a time.

    No patch notes. No nothing.

    Before everybody calls stealth nerf.... maybe its a bug? Did anybody already made a bug report about this both ingame and in the forums? Can't login right now myself, will check later this evening though.


    In case it is a bug, they should however make next weekend another dil weekend, to compensate for whatever we will be loosing.



    And off the subject, I want those 50k for reputation finishing, instead of the 32k xD.

    The explanation is easy. They removed the bonus on the reward you were getting from completing a reputation and at the same time removed the bonus from turning in marks and items.... I would love to say I'm surprised but frankly... I'm not.

    Got confirmation from ingame people: its broken.

    I'm still expecting its a bug, tied in to the nerf to the T5 rep reward, instead of this working as intended. Otherwise, the dev blog would have stated otherwise, instead of explicitely telling us that it should work.


    Time to flood bug reports everybody! As soon as I see a thread popping up in bug reports, I'll post a link to this thread.

    I dunno it says on the in game text for the event - Note: Dilithium from reputation projects and T5 reputation missions remains at the normal rate.

    That's contrary to the blog entry, but there you have it. Working as intended.

    This really low - even by Craptic standards! Some of us, in good faith, worked to earn marks and rep items in anticipation of the dil weekend just to try to get a little ahead of the grind. Not a hint of a sniff of a change in policy until the last possible second just to TRIBBLE all the players who were looking forward to what we always had.

    This is about as bad a "**** you" as Cryptic can give the players.

    ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE!

    And they want money for this treatment...

    You would think after the **** up's and bugs introduced with Delta Rising, The Winter Event, and The Anniversay Event They'd have the common sense to not to nerf the rewards on this round of the dil weekend and save it for the next one.

    So tell me why is there no bonus on turning in marks/Neural Processors/Cybernetic Implants,

    I hate to re qoute myself but this is just **********

    Now the page on arc says:
    Vlugta Asteroid Field:
    100% Bonus Dilithium Ore for Daily Mining Missions
    100% Bonus to all Rich Dilithium Claims
    Fleet Dilithium Mine:
    100% Bonus Dilithium Ore for Daily Mining Missions

    50% Bonus Dilithium Ore
    Dilithium rewards from completing Event Reputation Projects no longer receive a bonus.
    This also includes the large reward of 50,000 Dilithium a player earns when completing a reputation.

    So they changed the text after complaints on the forums.

    Well that is just*****.

    If it is posted earlier you have to deliver that promise not change the same news post after the fact!!!!

    Cryptic/PWE made a mistake. They should man up and honour it.

    Otherwise, it's kinda crappy way to do it.
