    Thanks, everso! I did what you suggested. I did find more items my recruit needed to claim. I still can't access the Delta Recruit link on my other toons main screen (the one that opens up for my Recruit) but I was able to go to the agent in First City/ESD and claim a small reward. Wasn't much... 10 marks (whoopee! I'm wealthy). Hopefully there will be more to come. :rolleyes:

    That's actually working as intended. The Delta UI link/window is only for Delta Recruits. It will never open up on your main. The only way to claim stuff on your main is to go to the temporal agent.

    I don't know, but rewards I get from finding things (the boxes which give you Reputation Marks) - I can only claim them with my Delta Recruit... I thought I could claim any reward with any other character other then the Delta Recruit. So far, there wasn't been any I can claim on any other character, wtf?!

    Anyone else finding the game really slow, post maintainance? Took forever to load to the character list and longer to get into the game. Mail, loading doff missions, using the replicator or the exchange, all running slow.

    I tried to play one of the episodes with my Delta Recruit and when I beamed down to ground map my loading screen just went to Server Not Responding.

    After waiting for about 8 minutes, I closed the game with Alt-F4 and now I can't even enter the game with that char. It instantly goes to Server Not Responding forever mode.

    Something is terribly wrong after maintenance.

    UPDATE: Seems to be fine now.

    Our Delta Recruitment continues into week 2, earning new rewards for Recruits! As Delta Recruits unlock the Duty Officer system, they'll have even more opportunities to help prepare against the fight against the Iconians!

    LOL @Buy Ferengi War Bonds. Good one.

    As for the progress bar, does the length of time/type of DOff mission weigh-in on the about of progress is added to the bar, or just simply completing a DOff assigment? Ie, is it more beneficial to run a bunch of 30min assignments if we can be logged on more often?

    As for the rewards? Commendation points? Meh. >shrug<

    I have a question about the whole Delta recruit thing.

    If I create a Delta Recruit today, do the tutorial and then get hit on the head and wind up in a coma for 6 months, when I wake up, can I come back and play my recruit and get the unlocks as I play, or is it strictly only during this event?

    I've looked around for a definitive answer, but apparently my search-fu is weak. I've seen players say that once created, take your time and get the rewards whenever. Others have said it's only for the event. I've tried following the Dev tracker but I have been told that some Devs don't show up on it and I could simply be missing something that was officially said because of that.

    So, any way I could get an official answer, or a link to one?

    Now, as for the week 2 rewards. Sounds interesting. It'll be even more interesting to see if players can hit tier 2 let alone tier 3. Any bonus is good bonus so I'm not worried. Just interested in just how popular this part of the event will be. I enjoy DOffing so I'll be doing my part.


    Edited to add:

    That's exactly what I've been wondering too. I know my Delta won't be getting a lot of playtime, but DOffing is a pretty quick process so it won't be a huge deal for me to spend 15 minutes getting DOff missions.

    Well, since this week you can DOFF on your Delta to progress the reward for next week, it seems Cryptic has given it more thought than you have.

    Are any DOFF missions excluded from this?

    This is perfect. I'll keep my Recruits Doffing while my main goes nuts with the bonus XP. And I'll probably power level a Recruit in another faction. A sincere bravo to the crew on this one.

    The original announcement has a Q&A at the bottom, it says this:
    Q: What happens if I create a Delta Recruit, but do not complete all of the listed Tasks?

    A: Once a Delta Recruit completes their special Tutorial and receives their “Tesseract Communications Device” they will be free to complete the assigned tasks at any point in the future. Although Delta Recruit characters can only be created while the event is running, there is no time limit on the completion of the tasks, or their associated rewards.

    Knowing the little bit about the doff system that I do, I suspect they'd have a really hard time excluding some intentionally. But the RND system is altogether different so crafting should have no effect.

    I also suspect that the meter tracks either skill or commendation points so big projects are worth more than small ones. Means spam that infiltrate the orion syndicate and both gorn uprising (suppress and support) and the big sphere recruiting and development missions since those all give well over a thousand points each.

    That is a matter of perspective, something you're obviously not familar with.

    That would make sense. If it's just "doff mission completion" as the article suggests, then I could go on a tear and grind a ton of useless purples and blues into whites to feed my starbase, thus driving up the meter and getting my DR toon much needed fleet credits.

    Oh, sure, throw the blog with all the information in my face why don'tcha. :P

    After glancing at it when it was originally released, I guess I never went back and read it. So, I went looking for answers on the forums and by talking to players, getting no clear answer.

    At least I'm not the only one who apparently didn't thoroughly read the blog since others I asked didn't know either.

    Thanks for the answer.

    Oh my god, this goal was tailor-made for me. Doffing is the majority of what I do and enjoy in this game.

    Much love.

    Thank you for making the second week a Doffing one so that the bonus xp can be used to give a little help to our (us existing players that didn't make the Delta Recruit our main) main characters.

    With the change to the Advance queues, plus this, it is starting to look as though the change in command is the right choice so far. This is a huge improvement over things not being thought through. Thank you for taking the time to do this.
