STO question

jumpingjsjumpingjs Member Posts: 0 Arc User
I clicked on the Ad for STO and it said get a free torpedo launcher when you log on. So I logged on ... any idea where I would find this torpedo launcher ?
Hopefully I'll come back from my break; this break is fun; I play intellectual games.

I hope STO get's better ...

    Were you given some kind of code to use for the torpedo launcher? This ad is news to me so if you can point to where the ad is, then we can help better.

    The promotion is here: https://register.perfectworld.com/sto_splash

    New players who register will have a code emailed to them, along with redemption instructions -- redeeming this code will grant the player an account-wide unlock for a [Quantum Torpedo Launcher Mk II [Acc] [Dmg]]. It can be claimed via the in-game C-Store, under the 'Items' tab. It's also bound and worth no Energy Credits upon deletion, but it's pretty nifty for new players in their starting levels.

    Cheers,

    That's a pretty good torpedo for a new player.

    Talk about misleading. It should say "Free Torpedo Launcher when you register", not "when you log in". It is deceptive and confusing. I clicked your link, logged in, and haven't received a free code as suggested by the promotion. Where is it?

    What you need is a "Click here for more details" link to explain the requirements for getting a "Free Torpedo Launcher".

    Thanks for the feedback! I'll be sure to pass it along :) In order for a player to get the code, they have to register for a new account and provide a valid email address that it can be sent to.

    Would it be possible to get the torpedo on a pre-existing by registering a new account, but claiming the code on a different one?I have an LTS on my account, and I'd LOVE to have that torpedo the next time I launch a Fed Alt.

    Yes it is possible.

    Probably not. I believe the code you receive might be linked to the email address/account you create so if you try to use it on a different account you'll most likely receive an error message saying the code is either invalid or can't be used on that account, although you can always try it. :)

    From pwebranflakes description I suspect this torpedo launcher doesn't scale with character level. If that's the case I don't see any harm in allowing everybody to obtain it. Once you reach a certain level the weapon will be less effective and you'd probably want to replace it with something better anyway. Generally items in game that scale with character level don't have "Mk" in the name and branflakes said it was a "Mk II" weapon. Also, items that do scale have the infinity symbol in the bottom right corner of the icon you see in your inventory/equipped on your character. It looks like the number '8' turned sideways. Example: the type II phaser from the TOS bundle in the C-store scales with character level and has no "Mk" in the name and it has the infinity symbol on it.

    Another thing, pwebranflakes didn't mention if the weapon is an account unlock that can be claimed on multiple characters, or if it is simply a 1 time claim and if you lose it or get rid of it you can't get another. Clarity is the key here. :)

    I didn't? :P From my last post in this thread: "...this code will grant the player an account-wide unlock...".

    It's a Mk II, and therefore does not scale. Also, if you delete it, it's not reclaimable on that character.
