    I was afraid of what would happened to the Premium costume tokens, but I was relieved to see that they will be still accessible which makes me happy for more specific costumes I need :grimace:


    Only issue: Exlusive Vendor is still asking for Exlusive Costume Token! Not for the Premium Costume Token the new vendor is giving
    It's the same Token but different Name! Exlusive & Premium, It would be awful to realize the tokens are not unusable once you get them because they are not being recognized

    Well, PTS Debugger doesnt give access to those tokens to test the new Emotes! If for the future of testing could have Debugger having access to Defender Training Program Tokens would be neat

    Will there be a way to exchange tokens from previous runs for the new one? Like, if I have 2 saved up from the last run because I ran out of Exclusive costume parts to buy, would I be able to use them to buy the new emotes?

    Tokens from the event will not carry over to the next event.

    Exclusive tokens can only be exchanged for items in the Exclusive store.​​
  • historiphilehistoriphile Posts: 83 Arc User
    Are the Exclusive Costume Tokens going to become backward exchangeable if/when they become 'Premium Costume Tokens'? Because I have 6 E.C.T. and I'm LTS - I already have that store's costume items. Just any way to use them would be nice.
  • kaiserin#0958 kaiserin Posts: 3,078 Cryptic Developer
    There are no current plans to make the Exclusive tokens exchangeable for any other type of token.

    Quick update to PTS to the debugger stores.​​
  • pantagruel01pantagruel01 Posts: 7,091 Arc User
    The costume slots have the problem that the character you want them on is rather likely not to be the same one you just raised to level 40.

    Please consider it! I'm sure I'm not alone among LTS players who play these events and are accumulating those Exclusive tokens with no way to use them.

    A questionite buyoff?
    Costume slots?
    Being able sell them / gift them to someone else?

    Emotes
    Treadmill doesn't scale with the toon's size while Boombox scales alright.

    Will this update make the previous Exclusive Tokens redundant or it won't affect it? I still have Exclusive tokens from old events.

    Does completing the quest twice allow me to buy both emotes (one character gets boombox and the other gets treadmill)?

    Also, if I am at max (and then some) on costume slots, can I use this event to get more?

    And, as a DJ for Dawn Radio, I love the idea of a boom box emote. =)
  • kaiserin#0958 kaiserin Posts: 3,078 Cryptic Developer
    To clarify, completing this event grants the character who completed it 3 "Defender's National Training Program" tokens. These tokens are character bound and can be used to purchase items in the new event store. One of the items you can purchase are Exclusive costume tokens, which can be used in the Exclusive store (where the old lifetime costumes are located).

    Each character leveled to 40 will get 3 tokens.

    Defender's National Training Program tokens will not carry over into the next event. They must be spent before the vendor goes away (it will persist a week after the event ends).

    Exclusive Costume Tokens do not expire.

    Costume slots sold in the store obey the cap, so if you are at the costume slot cap you will not be able to purchase them.​​

    So uh, what if we're at the character cap already, and our characters have event-time-limited emotes and devices on them, so we can't really delete any without losing those? Are we gonna be given a free slot or something so we can participate without having to delete something we can't get for another year?

    I'm with you on this!

    Right now, it's kinda' shucks having those tokens as a LTSer. :(

    Seconded...
    Or was it thirded. Whatever-ed.

    They're just accumulating dust in our bags. Would be awesome if LTS could use them (in any one of the ways @historiphile has suggested).

    Damn... I *just* leveled a character to 40. :< Oh well, time to do it again! \o/

    I kind of worry about this as well. We got a character slot from last years that bypass the limit, but I assume that was an anniversary gift rather than the defender program. The first one that game out didn't really work at all for capped character slot players.

    Fourth'd, but don't count on LTS being thrown anything helpful. The only thing they've been able to do lately is remove longstanding features that were part of marketing the LTS in the first place. At this point I'm just thankful when they aren't taking things away from me.

    I'm not seeing any new options outside of those already present. What was supposed to have been added?
