Everytime you do these stupid events it kills the rest of the game.
I put myself in for 3 STF's at a time and can sit there for upwards of 10 mins waiting for a Q to pop as everyone just does the event Q over and over and over and over.
I guess it wouldn't be so bad but it seems there are events just about every weekend now.... Which means the game on the whole is dead unless you want to participate on the monotiny of repeating the exact same thing over and over.
Shuttle events, CC events, Temporal incursion events.... Just one after the other.
Bring back bonuses for anything we want to play rather than making 95% of the game unplayable unless you want to sit in a Q for ages.
The way the game was originally was far, FAR better. I have no idea what the logic was for changing it. And now bonus weekends on top.... Meh...

For all, but one of my characters i have enough dilithium and marks to buy everything from the reputations two or three times and thus i don't NEED the various PVE queues.
As one who generally plays foundry, these events are a nice diversion. Really, who wants to run ISA etc over and over again. I'm hoping they bring a "mine trap" event soon or a focus on "The Big Dig" and "Klingon Scout Force" to promote those. Sure most of them can be done solo, but there's something to be said to team up for them.
Looking for a fun PvE fleet? Join us at Omega Combat Division today.
Indeed, only 1-2 weeks until the next event arrives.
Defending The Galaxy By Breaking One Starfleet Regulation After The Next.
This would be nice, throw in a Breaking the Planet event as well. When was the last time you did THAT queue
theres only really 5 events a year, don't count the delta recruitment event as I believe this was a one off.
the weekend events I don't count as they were to replace the hourly events that used to be and are mostly just bonus dilithium or bonus marks and such and don't really effect normal gameplay to any great extent anyway.
I believe it is only events such as the winter, summer, mirror and such that are keeping the game alive, without these regular events the game would soon become boring and monotonous and players would start to leave in droves.
why don't you get in the mind-set of if you cant beat them join them, next time there is an event like the current CE event and you ask for a team up with a quick ISA run and you get the negative reply try asking if you can team up for the event instead, even if you don't much care for the end prize they are just as much fun as an ISA run when you team with friends, and theres plenty of time between events when nothing much is happening for ISA runs anyway.
even with the summer and winter events the fun can be increased 10 fold if you do them with friends, you cant beat a winter invasion or tides of ice with chums.
When I think about everything we've been through together,
maybe it's not the destination that matters, maybe it's the journey,
and if that journey takes a little longer,
so we can do something we all believe in,
I can't think of any place I'd rather be or any people I'd rather be with.
They were removed a long time ago for a BS reason.
I think i solo'd it a month ago. Believe me, it's pretty busy with the spawn on those bridges.
I'd love for them to take advantage of the focus these events bring and get it put on the queues which need the bigger numbers.
I've done that queue a grand total of once, roughly two and a half years ago. I'd definitely support an event for it (or the other 'never pops' queues mentioned above). Doubt it'll happen though.
Indeed, very nice for my ignored Delta recruit that can pick up marks for all the reps with very little effort!
The point in case that 95% of the game is effectively DEAD !
And these events only make that worse....
When was the last time you were actually able to Q for any of these...
Minetrap ?
Starbase 24 ?
Starbase fleet defense ?
Breach ?
The rest of the Voth stuff....
You simply cannot play them anymore and it's sad as some of them are really good !
Everyone goes for the quick way to make a mk or some dilith and these events only serve to make the situation worse.
Events need to go.
Rewards and boosts and perks need to be spread amongst the other Q's in the game to make more of the content readily available.
Maybe a Dilith boost or Mark boost for completing a certain % of ALL Q's over a period of time ? I really don't know, but the current system is awful.....
I agree, I like these events because I get so loaded up on marks for a long time, even for my alts when its just plain difficult for them to acquire these resources.
Granted by the end of the event im done with whatever the grind was, but whatevs.
At least they are making an effort to change things up a bit, if there were no events then people would say "Cant we have events where xyz"
Now this doesnt mean that I'm not annoyed with craptic for like... lag, costume issues, nerfing my console etc etc etc.
Just, in this case, I think it's fine.
Frankly i would love to see one of those delicious Lobi events...
I loves me some Lobi.
Delicious nutritious Lobi.
I think the reason they stopped doing this for Minetrap, and never started doing it for Big Dig or Breaking the planet is story reasons. Breaking the Planet is set in the Klingon war arc, and thus doesn't make sense now. Mine Trap is really for fighting the Tal'shiar. so is Big Dig....

Generic "bonuses for anything we want to play" are a complete waste of schedule time, as they don't encourage players to do anything different than they always do. As such, most of the weekend bonus events are complete failures ("fixing" the ability to stock up marks to convert or boxes to open during the event for extra rewards removed the only bit of strategy involved) and should be replaced with something interesting.
My main is a fed engineer with heavy focus on ground and especially with the new modules it can be solo'd though with bit of practice.
However, it IS a lot easier with 2-3 extra persons on the team.
People log on just to do these events, they run their alts through them as well. In the case of the CE Event, the rewards are actually pretty nice as well. I personally have played a lot more this last week then I would have if the event hadn't been going on.
I would rather hop from event to event then run the same STF every single day. Keep the events coming!
you got that the wrong way round, it was the hourly events that were BS & the weekend ones are really useful.
the big problem with the hourly events was that more often then not the ones you really wanted to do were running when you were unable to play and when you were able to play the ones that were running were totally useless for your needs, this was very unfair for players that maybe had 1 or 2 hours to play at most.
with the weekend events they are always there for you no matter what time you log in, if you have no interest in any event that is running its no problem as you can go and do something else but when the weekend events come around that you are interested in doing you are guaranteed to be able to take part so its much fairer to everybody.
this was the reason the hourly's were dumped like the trash they were in favour of the supremely better weekend events.
When I think about everything we've been through together,
maybe it's not the destination that matters, maybe it's the journey,
and if that journey takes a little longer,
so we can do something we all believe in,
