    What a strangely restrictive bonus week. Why instanced content only? Instanced content makes up so little of DCUO nowadays. The bulk of our currencies comes from the open world content.

    There's gonna be some confused people tomorrow morning, as I can already see on chat that players are glancing over the "Instanced" part.

    It's quicker for them to just turn On Duty content double source marks than turn on double marks for each individual mission in game.

    Can the devs do anything and not get a complaint? If people can't read, that's their issue.
    Thanks for yet another bonus week that you didn't have to do devs!

    This part of the bonus cycle, other than being a week happens once a DLC I believe. Since it's restart any noob should be able to figure it out since you'd do the spam and an instanced.

    As far as deductive reasoning, there's only two variables, anyone of reasonable intelligence should be able to figure it out.

    If they can't, I find it curious they could possibly figure out any of the mechanics in the game so... they'll ask somebody I'm sure.

    If you think this one is "restrictive" wait till you see the one that is only a DLC nobody plays anymore.

    I would like some clarification on what exactly is meant by "relevant content".
    Is it as others have said, 'Alerts Only'? Does it include missions that take you from open world to instanced maps/zones?

    Are the HQ Vendors having the sale on all of the gear vendors in HQ that normally take Marks? Or is it only one vendor? What about the Styles for Marks, or Constantine?

    relevant content = within the required CR range it is listed in the on duty menu for the instance you want to que for. it says that discount is on on Mechanical Supply Officer!
    • DOUBLE Source Marks when completing instanced, relevant content across the entire game!
    • 50% discount on gear at the Mechanical Supply Officer!

    i dont see it say anything about styles or Constantine
  14. Ultimus Primus Well-Known Player

    and "instance" refers to something you have to que for in the on duty menu
  15. Irvynnge Loyal Player

    relevant content is the content within your CR range. instanced means stuff that you queue in to through the On Duty tab - so, solos, duos, alerts, raids, operations. you will not get any extra marks for open world content or bounties.

    the discount applies to the gear sold by the Mechanical Supply Officer droids. you will find them in each of the starting point safehouses / nightclubs ( North Burnley, Sheeda's Den, Club Lex / East End PD, Chinatown PD, Little Bohemia PD ). you will not get a discount from any other vendor, including Constantine.


    edit. yeah, just seen Primus already said that.

    It was added in May 2019 when Marks of Victory were renamed Source Marks.
