What missions are those? Because in the zone you now get 10 marks for each point captured, plus a daily bonus of around 50.

Plus more if you blow up the dinos afterwards.

I guess if you do it more than once a day it wouldn't be worth it. But you can't spend marks that fast anyway.

 

[Vaarna_Aarne]

The idea is really just that since Undine Infiltration and Viscous Cycle give ~100 Marks on Elite, I can cycle through the alts every three or so days and thus ease the daily burden considerably. It'll be a good thing once the new module for NW launches in two weeks, so I can continue getting the rest of my alts leveled using Sponsorships when the initial four are done.

 

[Zarniwoop]

Viscous cycle aka No Win Only With Undine And 50 times Harder Especially With A PUG ? Yeah in that case I think the Zone is better.

Or is that infiltration?

 

[Vaarna_Aarne]

Nah Viscous Cycle takes around 15 minutes on average and isn't particularly hard. The only thing to it is that you should bring a FAW boat, much of the difficulty comes from the movement debuffs and teleports you face on part of the Undine, but if you have 360 degree field of destruction they aren't a challenge.

 

[Zarniwoop]

I'm thinking of the other one then, where you have the 3 lines and all the portals to close. I've never been in a group that even managed to close the first portal.

 

[Vaarna_Aarne]

That one's not exactly hard either, just mindbogglingly tedious and time-consuming.

 

[Zarniwoop]

Well yeah so why not do the zone then, that's not tedious. Although I have massive lag, don't know if it's just me or the server. It's quite a clusterfuck if there are many players

 

[Vaarna_Aarne]

Viscous Cycle and Undine Infiltration take less time and pay better for repping.

 

[Tharkin2]

If you have slavers you can farm the Borg cube at the end of Assimilation.Skip the tac report and just launch slavers.The Undies don't spawn and the borg cube will get to 0 and not despawn.

 

[Zarniwoop]

Viscous Cycle and Undine Infiltration take less time and pay better for repping.

You do get 3 Injection Stuffies from the Battlezone though, although it doesn't seem they're good for much apart from acquiring more minerals

Well, only if you stick around for the whole thing, and like I said I just find it to take too long when running rep on multiple alts. 1 Injection thingie per alt per go is enough for me.

 

[Zarniwoop]

Fun fact: even if you only capture 1 point in the BZ and then warp out, you still get the daily mark bonus of 50. No need to stick around for the injectifiers.

Let me make the math.

You need 500 x 3, 500 x 3 and 750 x 4, thats 6000 Marks for all the Gear projects.
Now you need 5 x 3, 2 x 3 and 2 x 3 Injectors. overall 29 Injectors for those projects, since you cannot use Sponsorship token you are looking at rougly 27 days at best (assuming running all projects around the clock) so you would be exactly 2 Injectors short.

Let me put this way ... getting 29 Injectors is easy compared to 6k Marks, its was always Marks were the grind is and 29 Injectors just amounts to 9k Dilithium in the end.

 

[Norfleet]

You need 500 x 3, 500 x 3 and 750 x 4, thats 6000 Marks for all the Gear projects.

That's a kind of absurd figure that doesn't at all answer the question of WHY WOULD YOU EVEN WANT TO? I dunno about you, but it cannot have failed to escape your notice that you can only wear one set of gear, and that unless your ship is really new, you probably already have one.

I just said theoretical if you want everything on the rep thats the cost and assuming just one of each,I am pretty sure there were people that brought multiple STF sets for the BOs with the Rep system, I know some did with the Dyson ground set because I seen it on the Dino Tagging grounds.

This is assuming people arent braindead and keep buying multiple sets, in that case cost is infinite.

The only thing I am unsure is the Turret part of the weapon set if its restricted to one equipped or not and if not the actual cost of each.

They don't, that's a lie. The end-report lies and the actual reward is something amazingly crap, like 50-ish for Viscous. Haven't tried infiltration, but my understanding is that it's like 30, and unpuggable.

 

[Drakron]

I have and I suppose people can sabotage it by picking the wrong choices, so far I been about 28-30 points with the occasional one wrong selection with the bonus always accomplished.

Payout at the end been around 35 marks, not sure how low can it get on full failure even if I suspect its 15-20 marks considering how Cryptic really want people to farm things and so shitty pay ... the good thing about Infiltration is that is not too stressful with filler combat and broken abilities like "Viscous Cycle", I am not going to say that is PUGable since technically it can be sabotaged to lower pay but still better that "Alabama Strike Team" (never such a mission made me want to turn off voice so badly and I am talking about Vicious Cycle) because those fucking rifts and bullshit annoyance mechanics and Battlezone with its 5 minute for fucking 15 marks Voth and other "I hate every single one of you" mechanics.

I think battlezone right now is 60+35+15 if you get everything but that means half of those braindead fucking morons actually learn to EVERYONE GOES TO THE SAME FUCKING PLANET KILLER instead of slplitting up and everyone gets 2 out of 3 and lets not go over about their "anti-tagging" mechanics that lowers our pay because we dont actually LIVE on the fucking place and sometimes we get in when its half-way into completion and we can only get 2 or 3 zones.

 

[Vaarna_Aarne]

100 Marks with the daily reward though.

 

[Zarniwoop]

The mark reward is your score/2. But Vaarna is right, you get a daily reward there too. So the first Viscous Cycle of the day gets you 55 +50 (or whatever your score is) so over 100.

I'm just not sure if you get the daily bonus on the Battlezone AND Viscous Cycle or only one of them. If you get it on both then it's a very easy extra 50 since you only need to capture one point in the BZ and then bail to get the daily bonus there, no need to stick around for the whole thing and dino safari.

 

[Vaarna_Aarne]

Not on both.

 

[Norfleet]

Yeah, point+bail is all you need to fill daily, no need for a lengthy grind mission with a lying reward.

 

[MicoSelva]

Ok, so I actually got hooked by this game and am probably staying with it for the time being, despite reason. Especially since I just got my brand new Tactical Escort, which I'm really enjoying, because it explodes Borg drones like a motherfucker.

Is there a Codex Fleet i could join and contribute my Fleet Marks? I am already in some random fleet (got an invite and accepted), but I'm guessing there is a way to switch.

I promise it won't be like with that Neverwinter fiasco, when I left the game forever two days after joining Codexian guild. There were no Borg in Neverwinter.

 

[Vaarna_Aarne]

Yes, there is. We have a Fleet both for KDF (Sab'tahboq wo Du'ya, or something like that) and Fed (Codex Civilization Defense Squadron).

 

[MicoSelva]

Thanks, I will try searching for CCDS when I get home.

 

[Vaarna_Aarne]

Easier if you just post your charname@username from the game here (they are case-specific btw, so include all spaces and capital letters and whatnot), we can send you an invite to the fleet and chat channel afterwards.
