    So there's only a DS9 shirt no DS9 specific pants?:confused:
    I'm asking because the TNG pants the DS9 uniform auto sets doesn't seem to match the top like it does in the picture...while the DS9 admiral 2000zen pants do match. So I'm wondering if there might be some sort of error there or the picture is just misleading because they took it with pants you don't actually get.

    By your logic; I got the uniform with my pre order of the game. I should expect an apology for unfair treatment, because I paid for it.

    I don't expect an apology, because it is NOT unfair!

    This.

    It is NOT unfair.

    Holy prophets of Bajor, this free gift simply puts a HUGE spotlight on the STILL bugged TNG/DS9/Voyager split-bottom pants that the devs refuse to acknowledge and repair. Is this a joke?

    We have been complaining about the bugged split-bottoms since they broke them a month ago in the art forum, and we thought, "Well, the gift will likely be ANYTHING but something requiring the split-bottom pants, since that would make the devs look very bad." Congrats. You've really surprised us! lol

    There are no pants with the uniform. The image is out-of-date from when the game launched. There's currently a graphical bug with the TNG pants.

    The pants with the DS9 Admiral's uniform were custom-made for that uniform.

    So, basically, the image is non-intentionally misleading at this time (until Cryptic fix that graphical bug).

    I have said time and again, I appreciate the gesture. And whether you wish for an apology or not, one is required. You can pass it up if you wish, but others do not choose to do so.

    Did you even finish reading that post, like why I don't expect an apology? Because it is NOT unfair, meaning no apology is "required".

    I'll say that again: it is not unfair, so no apology is required. Not unfair = no apology required.

    End of story.

    DS9 uniform is almost 4 years old.


    Think That is why the uniform went for on the C-store cause its an old uniform.

    And unfortunately for me, I bought the uniform about 2 years, so..this C-store giveaway had no excitement for me.

    Cant wait to see whats in store next.:)

    As a romulan admiral i cannot help but feel as if we romulans have been forgotten in this giveaway both the federation and klingons get free stuff..we romulans get nothing.

    So what about it cryptic?

    Come now be honest and just say we romulans get the shaft in your little giveaway...for all factions indeed.

    The Rom stuff is still generating profit, that's why. Brandon flat out said it's because rom items are less than 3 months old. Be glad we have a Rom faction at all.

    The DS9 bundle does not include this uniform. It includes the Vedek Robes and the DS9 Admiral's Uniform. The DS9 Series Uniform is a separate store item.

    In the Tailor under "Upper" I have:

    "Deep Space Nine"

    "Deep Space Nine - Open"

    "Deep Space Nine Admiral"

    So do I have this freebie?

    Ah thanks for the info too bad about the graphic bug though , it's not really worth wearing if it doesn't match.

    Except the Romulans can claim these if they're allied with that faction. So, technically, the Romulans are getting something.

    If you have the DS9 Bundle with the Admiral pants, use those. They match perfectly.

    If you don't... meh, it's a freebie. May as well claim it and wait for the fix. Means you don't have to pay for it when the fix does come.

    No catch. Log in and claim. That's it. :)

    I will say in advance that there will not be any Romulan items given away (e.g. Romulan costumes or ships) as they are pretty brand-new.

    And on the days (yes, days plural!) that we're giving away a ship, there will be a KDF ship and Fed ship (you'll need to claim each on the appropriate, eligible character). So, there will actually be more than 5 ;)

    Cheers,

    Brandon =/\=

    So yes, they kind of said that... but you are forgetting an important detail. If current rumors hold true, we will be getting a Small Craft and a T3 Starship. This means that even Romulans get new toys in the form of a free C-Store Small Craft and Universal Console, assuming you have meet the requirements for Fed/KDF characters to claim them.

    And yes, as he clarified later, the one for each faction bit refers only to the ships.

    So players who are KDF-only got screwed today. A Fed only outfit? Pretty lame Cryptic...pretty lame.

    Cryptic needs to rethink this (Fed Only) Giveaway event. KDF only players will not like this if every day has a reward for Fed Only.

    You couldn't be that daft, could you?
    You have probably been chewed out enough here and I'm going to add to it.

    It's the first day of the event, cryptic is obviously having a day for a free Klingon costume, I mean wow...grow up a little

    To say it is a troll post now is too late, you were sincere and I hope you feel bad
    Chive on and prosper, eh?

    I suppose but why use KDF or fed stuff when you are romulan

    my issue isnt the freebies itself its becuase he said "ALL" factions and alot of us rom players were under the impression we would at the very least get a stinking tribble or non combat pet.

    had he said fed and KDF only i would have no issue and would not be upset by this

    As I mentioned in my posts in the main thread (click here to see them all), on the days that we are giving away ships (3, Wednesday through Friday), there will be a Fed and KDF ship to claim -- on the days that are not ships (today and tomorrow), it will be Federation only.

    No Romulan items will be given away as they are less than 3 months old.

    Cheers,

    Brandon =/\=

    He flat out says here, there will be no Rom items.

    So no, he did NOT say all factions.

    Cryptic offered the giveaway only to people they deemed eligible. Players who were not eligible were neither informed nor given the opportunity to make themselves eligible/accept the situation. Their eligibility was revoked without them even knowing about it. That pretty much constitutes unfair treatment.

    True, they could have just had a normal day, but they chose to make an item free. The gesture is appreciated by a lot of players, perhaps even by the people who did not benefit (such as KDF centered players). That still does not change the fact that it was unfair.

    Get off your high horse and pull your head out of the sand. There is no sooper see-krut konspeerahsee against you!

    The word "eligible" is used here in the sense that if you do not already have it, then you are eligible for the sale. If you have already previously bought the costume, then the sale does not apply to you.

    Are you that narcissistic that you require an apology for other people receiving what you already have? Get over yourself.
