    Dwight I have a problem, I entered the code for champions from the Arc luncher and I didn't receive the unlock of those costumes. What can I do? And please don't suggest me to get in touch with the support service because I always got an error.

    If the code worked properly you can retrieve the sets and the titles via the Z store in game from the last tab. The titles come in a box in your inventory that you have to open for each character.

    Hope that helps!

    OK, I've redeemed my key. Now I just need a server transfer to Neverwinter so I can pick up my stuff from the Reward Claims Vendor in Protector's Enclave. :rolleyes:

    Yeah, the pop-up said something about a Protector's Enc... (seriously, that's what it said, ellipsis and everything), the notification in the Arc frame said it should be in my mail - it took asking in Chat to find out about the fact that it's in the C-store tab.

    On the other tentacle, now I have more costume bits! :smile:

    Took me a while to find, but once you're on Arc, click your name in the top right corner. There should be a drop menu. Click redeem key, copy and paste, hit next, then go to the in-game store and click the bonus tab to collect your free stuff.

    when you logged into arc did you use your existing login info? If not you created a new account and it won't show in your existing one.

    I don't know about any "coupon" - I certainly didn't have one. Instead, the items were sitting in my Bonus tab, waiting for me to redeem. And even more bonus - unlike the STO giveaway, I only had to log in through Arc on one toon! The others all have that title pack waiting for them as well, even when I use the standalone launcher, which was a pleasant surprise.

    Did you go into the C-store in-game? Apparently, going in through the website won't cut it for this - you have to log in through Arc, then visit the C-store through the tab under the minimap. The items should then show up on your Bonus tab.

    Not a clue about the coupon thing, though.

    You can install arc, redeem the codes, close arc, start CO without arc and enjoy your rewards. I did not uninstall arc so far but I doubt it would be a problem.

    The titles are new at least. And while the costume packs are old, I very much appreciate getting them for free.

    Just to note, the Neverwinter gifts are listed wrong in the news article on the CO website. They were listed wrong on NW initially as well... They really are:

    Renegade Illusionist
    Wayfarer's XP Booster
    5x Rank 4 Enchantments
    3x Refining Stones
    5x Injury Kit (based on your level)
    5x Healing Potion (based on your level)

    If you play NW, that Renegade Illusionist is a decent companion from what I've seen so far.

    If you have access to another computer with Arc installed, you might be able to log in through there and redeem your codes. Or you can just install Arc alone without downloading any games, redeem the keys, and uninstall again.

    That doesn't surprise me. The STO forums are the source of all Arc hate in the world, thanks to a couple of "all software is spyware" Chicken Littles. The Arc dev team is probably afraid that they'll have to throw the forum server into the fires of Mount Doom before people will install the app, so they have to sweeten the pot significantly for STO players.

    I think he said they are free, because if you bought them, they say free for Gold in the Z-Store. That is what it said when I saw the ARC stuff int eh bonus tab.

    I claimed the Neverwinter stuff too. But that's probably going to not be used. That game I have no interest in playing again. I tried but it was too grindy for my taste and rather too familiar. Other similar games are better and more fun. Not a chore.

    STO only got one ship. (Two for some people but one of the ships was already given away for free before if you been in STO long enough). That was a free daily thing. The Arc thing they just got 1 off-duty uniform so you can't even put it on your Bridge Officers. So to make it seem better to install Arc, I am lying about the ship being part of it because one off duty uniform sounds sad and not worth installing Arc.

    To me, CO has the most to give by the list of freebies. Because I didn't already have the costume pieces.
