Hey heroes, due to popular demand, we're going to be bringing back the Steel Crusade giveaway in two weeks, for the anniversary finale weekend.
We know Friday was a bit hectic, and a few of you guys weren't able to claim your shuttle(s) and costume sets. Plus... heck, people were having fun, and we want to give new players that opportunity, too! The criteria and rewards will be the same in Giveaway Weekend 2: Electric Boogaloo, so if you've already claimed a shuttle on one character, you won't be able to claim another on that character.
Start: 9/26 @ 11am PDT
End: 9/29 @ 11am PDT

Though for future reference, can there be a way to be gotten rid of unwanted vehicles? A great deal of people were surprised that these were bound on pickup instead of just giving one to use on the whole account. The big reason is that they might take up unwanted space on the assumption that that you would only get one and it would Bind on Account.
..on that character. You can however claim the shuttle on any character which you didnt previously claim for.
A lot of people were confused why it was character bound not account bound like other vehicles.
Additionally the NPC is located on the plinth on the powerhouse.
But a very nice surprise. Thanks for the update TT

Actually, if you upgrade your shuttle to the Mark II it becomes a more standard account-wide vehicle.
Too bad you are still stuck with impossible to discard Mark I copies on the rest of your characters.
Also, Mk II shuttle is a pretty standard Mk II upgraded Z-Store tank with a rather strange setup, 4 weapon,2 Defense and 1 Support slot.
Filed a ticket. Lot of good that's gonna do.
Nice try though.

Can anyone remind me how much Resources your character has on creation? 'Cause I'm pretty sure it's more than that.
You're not getting a refund. Get over it.

They all thought I was out of the game....But I'm holding all the lockboxes now..
I'll......FOAM FINGER YOUR BACK!
You just don't get it.....
We have this free game that gives us free currency to buy a free vehicle.... ... ... .. I had a point.
I couldn't create my RA AT until Monday evening. So she didn't get her shuttle nor the xp boost. Now she'll be able to get her shuttle, at least.
And I did got thru my 4 pages of alts to get them their free shuttle. Hey, it's faster than the free Anti-grav boots they all got. And some of these characters don't have ANY flight, making a few perks impossible (cowboy hat on gigantic statue at Stronghold, comes to mind).
If there's no double xp at this new time, meh, I won't mind. I still have many unused XP boost stuff just waiting to be used.

You shouldn't have (yes you should have).
Thank You !
'Caine, miss you bud. Fly high.
You just have to make an assembly line-like method and knuckle down and do it. My three pages plus takes about 40 minutes to an hour to run through for events like this (then it's out of the way and I can play!). :biggrin:
Jon...I get your passion for the game.
But the information for the GIVEAWAY is that the costume parts and shuttle were FREE.
Ie, you show up and it is GIVEN to you. I forget the text in the box at that particular NPC and it even indicated that it was to be given away FREE. Ah yes, the word was PROMOTIONAL (I get no real world $$ exchanged hands, but please note the following.)

Champions, were proud to say that part 1 of our Steel Crusade update is almost here! Its launching on 9/10, and were going to be celebrating with a massive costume and vehicle giveaway.
Log in the weekend after it launches for a free Cyborg Beast costume set and new UNTIL Shuttle vehicle!
Starting on Friday 9/12, youll be able to talk with an NPC in Renaissance Center to claim your gifts. Hell only be available for the weekend, though, so make sure to log in over the weekend!
The Cyborg Beast costume set is perfect for your new Reawakened Automaton character, combining the best bestial draconian design with the sharp angulation of a robotic superhero. With reverse-jointed knees and sweeping wings, this costume set can also be worked into non-robotic characters for a more alien appearance.
The UNTIL Shuttle is a brand-new vehicle, similar to the Mammoth in design but with a dark grey UNTIL color scheme. Its core power is Light Armor Piercing Rounds, and it also comes with a MOD for the Heavy Cannon Mk1. (As with all MODs, if you want to try it out on a different vehicle, you can un-slot the MOD and slot it into a different vehicle.)
The Shuttle has a total of 5 MOD slots available: 2 Weapons, 2 Defensive, and 1 Support. This is a Tier 1 vehicle, so you can upgrade it with a Vehicle Tune-Up Kit. (Look for the Shuttle to make an explosive appearance in Part 2 of the Steel Crusade update!)
These items will be free to claim, and the shuttle will be character-bound and available once per character (not account), but it'll only be available for a limited time. Make sure to log in and get yours in the time frames below, Champions, and get ready for part 1 of Steel Crusade on 9/10!
Ok...do you pay for your GIFTS (man, Christmas and your birthday must suck!)
I have a bridge to GIVEAWAY (but you to pay to recieve it)
It's FREE, (but you have to pay for it).
Iif you read my post carefully (kinda hard when that darn outrage flares up, eh) you see that I did PAY for the LINK:FREE LINK: GIVEAWAY(see definition 1) Link:GIFTS but was miffed at the PRINCIPLE of having to PAY for the FREE.... GIVEAWAY...GIFT...
Get it now?

Dingdongs, alot of you.
Ok, the company has an agenda to empty our valuable, ingame Resources by throwing at us apparently free stuff.
First they reel us in by false promises, and once they got us hooked in, it's *BAM!!* your resources are gone.
Good thing there are vigilant people that keep this agenda spreading around. By telling over and over and over again what is FREE and "FREE".
Well, atleat you keep the forum alive.

But you are given the Resources necessary to make this "transaction", merely by creating your character. No effort on your part is necessary at all.
If you're offered, say, a free Happy Meal at McDonald's, do you complain that it's not really "free" because you had to cut a coupon out of the newspaper and give it to the cashier? (Which, incidentally, is more effort than is required to redeem your Shuttle and costume pack.)
Also, what I have isn't so much a passion for the game, as a passionate dislike for deliberate obfuscation, particularly when its only purpose is to prolong an otherwise purposeless argument.

If this was a real free vehicle giveaway you'd still have to pay income tax...
Consider it a lesson in life. There is no such thing as something for nothing.
The restaurant sent a towncar to my house to pick me up, knowing that it would cease to be a free hamburger if I had to pay for costly gasoline and have my car suffer depreciation expenses by traveling. Since you have to wear clothes at their establishment, and since it isn't a free hamburger if you have to pay for your own damn clothes to get it, they bathed and clothed me before taking me to the restaurant. After carrying me to the table via stretcher, they pried my jaws open, chewed my free hamburger for me, and regurgitated it into my mouth. Considerate, since making me do any of these things for my 'free' burger would be akin to manual labor. They then wrapped me up in a diaper, and sent me home with a nurse, in order to make sure that the final passage of their free burger would not be something I'd have to bother with myself--otherwise what's the point of free things? I was pleased that they also left $50 cash on my dining room table, realizing that the opportunity cost of spending time enjoying my burger would've disqualified it from being 'free'.
PWE has a lot of nerve trying to pass this off as free. They will be hearing from my attorney.
I'd been building my library of toons and using the handy "all" button in my shared bank to collect and buy some auction house items. To find out that free meant I had to take every damn toon to my hideout to get 55L (I already had the costume set) on each character...well that was a hassle for 5 pages. I was a bit miffed that there was a cost associated, even if it was a small token price.
So yeah, wasn't a huge thing...but if someone is upset I get it. Free implies nothing and thus was my expectation. Given what happened, I'm not using the "all" button ever again just to save on hassle.
Glad there's another weekend coming up for people that missed out. Having all the extra players in game was fun.
Yes, I completely get it.
You're an idiot.

I took a level 40 out near the big fountain just west of city center, there are 4 purple gang members that hang out there...I tapped my AoE attack and for my trouble I received exactly 55 locals.
That's probably easier than taking all your characters to your bank one at a time...it certainly is more fun.

If it's not trolling, well.. no way, it has to be. Don't ruin it by being serious about it.

Also, I already have this set, so I wouldn't be benefiting from this myself, per se. However, it's probably my all-time favorite set (I use some of the pieces for almost every tech suit I've ever made) and would love to see more people in bubble-helmets careening through zero-gravity.
