  • Added Treadmill and Boombox emotes to the event store.
  • Players who complete the event will get the "Herculean" title.
  • You do not need to pick up any missions for this event.

    So how do people with more than limit characters participate in this event?

    @kaiserin The jumbo glasses costume unlock (incl. its smaller, more popular version) from last year's FoxBatCon - not present this year. Why?

    There are too few good glasses costumes like that to be making those unavailable.

    WHY WOULD YOU MAKE TWO NEW EMOTES THAT EACH COST TWO TOKENS AND ONLY GIVE US 3 TOKENS THAT EXPIRE AFTER THE EVENT.

    WHY!!!!!!!!!!

    Yeah... I'm gonna earn 3 tokens; I can only use 2 on an emote because there isn't anything I can actually spend that other 1 on. Kaiserin made it implicitly clear in another thread yesterday that there's no plan to make those Exclusive tokens do anything for people (LTS & and former loyal monthly subs) who already have everything in that store. And I'm fairly sure I maxed out my costume slots when they were an account unlock - and even if I haven't, I know others have.

    Help make this a win for all of us. Give us an option we can use so we feel like our reward for completion wasn't partially a waste.

    Are we able to complete this more than once? It doesn't fix the issue of your most loyal customers having an unusable token for no reason, but we would at least be able to get everything eventually.

    Question about tokens from the training program.


    Let’s say I level up and don’t buy anything...will these tokens be available next time? And how often is this event going to be?

    Or will end of year they be wiped?

    Except they'll probably release two more emotes next time... which means you'd then need to level three characters to 40...

    Nope, it's mentioned that the three tokens you get will be wiped a week after the event ends.

    I... dunno. This feels ridiculously stingy. I mean, putting this out literally right after a two-week double XP event already feels kind of like a mean-spirited taunt. Then making it so you can't even get both new emotes by doing the event (unless you do it twice, which... jeez). I mean, it doesn't even line up with previous runs of the event where you get one emote and two costume parts; now you get one emote and one costume. Pretty much the only nice gesture towards the players is it's now a two-week time limit so it's less of a scramble.

    I love these limited release packs because they always drop when I don't have the money to get them. GG.

    Sadly, delete a character and reuse it, twice. You're not the only one feeling this pain.

    I get the sarcasm. Don't worry, I'm not that helpless!

    I just plain dislike them period. I think they set a bad precedent and embody the wrong kind of outer-game marketing strategy. :(

    this event is just for 1 new character reach lv 40 / account, or for each new character reach lv 40 ?

    Each within the time limit, and the character is created during this event.

    so.. If I make 2 new character, all reach lvl 40, I got total 6 "Defender's national Training Program" tokens ( 3 each) ?

    you get three token on the character that reach to level 40. They are not merge together if you're thinking of trying to get 3 emotes from doing this.

    so.. its only valid for first new character reach lvl 40 and not repeatable? thank you.

    You can't really relevel the same character to level 40, so you need to make another new character and level that character to level 40. This is the only way to get most of the emote from this event.

    Sorry for my bad English its cause confusion, I mean I make another new character, not relevel it. so what I said about 2 new character is, 2 difference character using 2 slot character. I just wonder, if as many as new character I create can get prize each of it, I will make atleast 2 new character ( 2 slot chars). But if its only can trigger once each account. I just make 1 new character only.
  • qawsadaqawsada Posts: 739 Arc User
    You only need to unlock the emote you want once and its usable for all characters in your account. Yes, you can use two character slots, max it to 40 each, and you can get two emote this way.
