    As of 10:30 PM Sat (NY Time) community was at about 3.08 billion . Average pace so far is about 82.13 million per hour, with a projected total of 7.88 billion. That was an improvement from about 20 hours ago, when the pace put us below 6.5 billion total. Considering the holiday (and recovery) period was in the first half, we might - just might - get the pace back up, if we can hold an average of about 85 million per hour. It will be close.
    Appreciated!

    My drop in the ranks certainly accelerated this afternoon, compared to earlier. I'm also still expecting a spike in VP in the final hours . . . but I'll be surprised if it's enough to take us across the finish line. If I get a second star on Quark I'll be happy, but if not I've still enjoyed the extra community rewards.

    Making 7 Billion in less than 36 hours. Extremely doubtfull, when you consider that it took 60 to reach just over 3 billion

    If it's going to be particularly annoying if a community reward is reached towards the end of the event - for some of us it will be very late at night or early in the morning..

    The event pack always stays live for a day after an event ends, so whatever unclaimed rewards you have should be available when real life permits.

    What she is trying to say is that if the community gets to that prize it would be too late to be used during the event itself.

    Well, that's an annoyance too, but I meant that we wouldn't be able to claim it. The ability to do so ends when the phase does. Can't redeem what you haven't claimed.

    Except it's one phase event. Also, in a normal galaxy event, as long as you get VP in phase one you get the community rewards, even if you don't claim them until phase 2. I've done it.

    What if you don’t claim them before the event ends? That’s what I’m concerned about.

    I lost my phone for a couple weeks and when I got it back the claim button was still there from the event we were in the middle of. It just adds it to the prize bucket with the threshold items and waits patiently for you to pick it up.. You could actually claim nothing the entire event and claim it all at once when it's done. You don't have to claim it during the active phase.

    That is good to know, thanks!

    Utterly unrealistic because the rewards are clearly not worth the effort.
    The thresholds are set at ridiculous levels (that the devs do not see fit to make the numbers readable by adding separators is an added insult) so the whole feels more like an active effort to annoy the player base than a celebration in the spirit of the season.

    They sit in the unclaimed rewards with other threshold and rank rewards. You used to need to claim them before the next event preview went live. I don't know how the event hub changes things now. But once the pack is removed you'll have no way to use the rewards regardless of when you claim them.

    24 hours to go, and nearing 4 billion.

    Here's hoping we hit 6 before the end.

    We only need 28,572 players to hit thresholds (350K).... :/

    But on a rerun why would so many bother to push? I certainly struggled to decide if I was going to even pour the resources into the event beyond just a single craft to claim community rewards -- I don't need any of the 4* ranked rewards, I don't need any of the 4* threshold rewards - the only community rewards that hold value would be the CD Quark (to add stars to my existing copy), and MAYBE the 10x pull event back on the slim chance of pulling one of the golds because again, the 4*s are not needed for me. The 5* rank reward isn't any level of outstanding by skills or subjectively to me as a character nor artwork (although TP seems to think that artwork isn't a reason people would push for rewards...).

    Change the single pulls in the community rewards to 10 pulls, throw in a new card, or pepper the existing 5* event characters into the rewards and maybe there'd be more interest. (Or even change the event type - 10b community reward tier levels on a skirmish where people have a bit more reasoning to continue to invest into the event with the bonus rewards would certainly have pushed some, myself included, to go father.)

    I'm not surprised at all that MAYBE community rewards will hit the halfway point. It's lower than I expected, but by early Friday it was pretty apparent that most people were checked out of this rerun.

    (Edit to add: I capped out about 200k VP points when I realized that the top tier community goals weren't going to be hit and the remaining threshold rewards weren't worth the chroniton cost and time investment. I can find better uses for both of those resources.)
  • I just hit threshold a short while ago and cashed in my bonus rewards plus a few more. Claimed my premium 10 pull and it was nothing special but added to my honor total. Finally made Level 90 so I get the honor achievement that I could put toward the honor sale which I’m hopeful could happen soon.
    Yeah, these goals are ridiculously high and I doubt we’ll meet them. Those single pulls aren’t worth much. Getting that one at the end would be nice but I don’t think it’s possible at this point.

    I'm actually shocked at how high ranking I am, considering I barely broke the threshold. Almost tempted to push for K'Ehleyr.

    Good luck to us. I thought it wouldn't be an issue. I am likely wrong. I have over 800K, for what it's worth.
  • Its 4PM on Sunday (NY time) and we still haven't broke 4 billion. We MIGHT break it by the end of the event, if we are lucky.

    As others have said, there wasn't a lot of enticing reasons to go full throttle for this event...like many others, I had everything except the new Klinger K card, and it wasn't worth sinking in all the time and chrons to rank up high and not be in the top 1500.

    Overall, this wasn't one of the better events. If TP tossed in a new 4* in the mix, it might have been better for us all.

    IMHO, between the ridiculously high community reward levels and the lackluster crew they offered, I think they should just give us all the +1 Convergence Day Quark as a consolation prize.

    Maybe some decent Convergence Day LTOs will make up for it....we shall see.

    I’m sticking with my prediction in whatever earlier thread I put it in... we’ll get there with 15hrs to spare.

    If I’m wrong... 🤷‍♂️

    19 hrs to go, 3.7B points. It’s official. I was wrong, very wrong, and so wrong. 😢

    18hrs40mins to go and we’re still not at 4 billion. It’s not looking good.

    Not that I was going to hit a billion (or even a million), I checked out of this one. There is a reason those characters haven't gotten cites or been picked in begolds. And I'm not burning stuff for a rerun with no gold in the solo threshold.
  • But at least TP can now say, "look at the awesome opportunity we gave the players for some cool rewards, but you just didn't cash in." I personally think it's an unrealistic joke. 10 billion. What planet are you on TP? RISA?????
  • 17 hours left and still not hit 4 billion, yep were not going to hit 6 much less 8 or 10 billion. Just the facts, totally unrealistic.
  • DavideBooksDavideBooks ✭✭✭✭✭
    I am confident we will make it.

    I am less confident now.
  • I don’t mind more challenging community rewards, even rewards we may not make at times. However, I think the numbers for the community reward structure need to be re-evaluated and actually possible. In this instance, 10 Billion is as realistic as Geordie getting a second date, or Kim getting promoted. ;)

    Everyone gotta pick on kim, poor guy. I am still mad as hell we technically got cheated out of 2 homecomings and no kim family reunion.

    I suspect we'll land about 5 billion VP points all together and somehow have ended up with LESS community rewards when it comes to pack pulls than in a normal event when you compare the whole of what was received.
