So, is there anyway of completing this OE in 48 hours without buying valor.
If you start out with "4" valor at the beginning of the event (if you have a full valor). Add in "16" more for 1 valor per every 3 hours over the 48 hour event. You get "1" for satisfying 2 combos nodes. And finally add in "3" more for satisfying Attacking 20 times.
4
+16
+ 1
+ 3
= 24 total valor over the 48 hour event.
You still need 6 more to complete the event.
So (tl:dr), question how to complete this without spending dilithium?
Thanks for reading my rant, your time, and helpful input on this OE.
(Don't get me started on the 10,000 chrons event)

No.
Or I suppose if you've hoarded Valor from the times they've dished it out as a freebie you could do it with that.
If you don't claim the valor, during the event, it will sit in event hub indefinitely. 15 fights and 2 nodes cleared will give 3 valor in the hub.
I have had these rewards waiting to be claimed for three months.
The hub will display at most, 15 events. Realistically 9 or 10 events worth can be stored before they interfere with month long objective events.
If your fleet is still struggling, you can save up valor, then use it in one go to take down the boss. Do that twice to get decent bridge bonuses and future fights will get easier.
Hoarding rewards is bad.
No. "Hoarding" Rewards because it is the only "free" way to complete OEs like that one is "bad" for WRG. Because they want you to spend Dilithium or cashy folding money to complete the OE.
It's not bad for the player.
Not all the OE's are worth completing, honestly.
The problem is you don't earn valor while you're over the limit. So you need to use all that valor quickly or you're losing 8/day.
And what after you going to spend 40 valor on? I'll max out personal damage with 7-8 valor. Maybe use another one or two for chains. Beyond that, you're sitting there losing valor as you wait. Unless a bunch of people in the fleet all do it so you can kill a bunch of bosses quickly, it's a waste.
And back to the OP. If you buy 40 valor from the webstore, you certainly don't then need the OE rewards of even more valor.
I’ve been known to hoard the valor from the OE for a time when the purchased valor has been used up.
I’m far more curious as to how it takes 7-8 valor to max out personal damage (unless it’s across 3 or more bosses).
~30,000,000+ Damage per Run.
YMMV
For an active fleet this is a fun boost. I like solving nodes but miss out on damage doing so. This gives a chance to do it all. I pointed out the offer because some people don’t check the webstore too often and might not know about the pack. I’m not defending the OE rewards. Those are kind of meh for this event IMO.
It would be amazing for the game, if the people developing and designing it actually played it.
And im not talking *played* it with infinite hoards of resources.
The problem right now is that the people making decisions are literally looking at spreadsheets of revenue vs staff time and have zero clue what is going on in the game.
I quit spending three years ago. How happy i am, that i did so. Great work WRG, great work. You managed to turn a cash cow into a cash pup, with parvo.
I think of it as a week off from OEs, to be honest.
Across multiple bosses.
2-3 for UN
2 for NM
2 for BR
1 for HR (rewards aren't worth the final tier you miss after 1 valor)
My point was, that's what you can use in 1 day. Let's say you're in a super active fleet with a bunch of people online, how much more can you use?
5 for traits on UN(1 per chain)
Lets say you defeat UN quickly and run a second. So another 5 for chains and 2 for damage.
You're now at 19 valor. Do you have enough people that you're taking out a third UN? Do you have enough people that you churn through HR non-stop.
If you have 11 people all buying the deal, then $5 converted to 30k honor on hard would be great. But short of that I still don't see how you're using 40 valor all dropped at once.
That's exactly the point I made when this OE was first announced, that it would be impossible for everybody in a fleet to complete it. There are basically three possible outcomes, None of which are good.
1) As you detailed, the fleet has to painstakingly coordinate things to ensure as many players as possible gan get the node completion target, which may or may not work out.
2) You get a really toxic competition between fleet mates to see who can actually achieve the target.
3) Everybody recognises the impossibility of the situation and gives up on the OE.
It's just one more example of things in this game not being thought through very well.
What we've had happen is it started as a competition for all the reasons you mentioned, and now it's a struggle to get people to bother with traits because they've refused to address the issue that solving traits hurts the player who does it.
So at least during the oe those players get some of their valor back.
But instead of addressing these issues in FBB that have existed from the start we got gold highlighting of crew no one likes on a buggy feature. Glad to see they have their priorities in order.
The glaring problem with them "encouraging" #2 with the OE is that it is exactly contrary the idea behind the FBB to start with. Fleetmates working together to beat a hard to beat foe.
That all makes sense. The key, I suppose, is to hope a bunch of people hit hard constantly.
The other option would be for WRG/TPG to have a cap that isn’t hit via purchases (or no cap at all).
My advice: solve 1 node to get your 350 Merits and carry on.
Only solving one for 350 merits is about the worst ROI possible. It's better to just ignore the event entirely.
Best thing to do, look for a mission where you can solve 2 nodes at once for your one valor. Get that valor back in rewards. Then play FBB as normal. You'll earn a couple extra valor you can use elsewhere. But don't worry about completing the OE because you won't and it's not worth it.
I agree. If you help solve nodes, anyway, or if you have a good setup and score high, you probably would get a node in two days, anyway. Then play as normal and be happy. The merits are a good reward. If you barely manage to help with normal play and still get low scores, then the reward might not be so great. But if you are in that position, ask and we can help you with your setup. If you have been doing this since the beginning, you have had plenty of opportunity to retrieve crew and should be getting 30 million each time, if kot more.
