That's quite the paradox, how could you nerf nerf when the nerf is nerfed. But how would the nerf be nerfed when the nerf is nerfed? This allows the nerf not to be nerfed since the nerf is nerfed? But if the nerf isn't nerfed, it could still nerf nerfs. But as soon as the nerf is nerfed, the nerf power is lost. So paradoxally it the nerf nerf lost its nerf, while it's still nerfed, which cannot be because the nerf was unable to nerf.
1. Log into the game on a Federation character
2. Visit the in-game C-Store via the button on the minimap
3. Navigate to the ?Appearance? tab on the left
4. Scroll down to and click on the ?Deep Space 9 Uniform? item
5. Click the ?Claim? button towards the bottom-right of the interface
NOTE: If you already have this item, you will be unable to claim it again
Yet nowhere in my Appearance tab is there a DS9 uniform, others are saying the same as well, good job Cryptic...
:rolleyes:
Editing for clarification for those who will joyously run in screaming "Then you already bought it duh!" : It is not in my "Already Purchased" section either.
Either way, if that is the case, and someone already had access to it, it should state they already have it, not just make it "Vanish". Just have it do like the other things, show up in the list and say "Already purchased." I dont remember buying the Ds9 uniform, and if I got it in something (didnt buy the Ds9 Bundle either) so who knows why Im not seeing it.
As I predicted, most of us long-time vets are going to have the majority of items being given away, but still, this is nice for the newer players. Hopefully it will lead to more players walking around ESD in a "proper" uniform.
For those of us loyal long-time players that have bought just about everything, why no alternate gift? I know it's too late for this week, but maybe something to keep in mind for the future?
I'd be happy with a 100 count 'mark of choice' box. At least at the end of the week I could buy a Rep item for free.
Sometimes I think I play STO just to have something to complain about on the forums.
I am a legacy user, and the item does not show up in my appearance list under all, there is no mention of DS9 anywhere in my lists, several users seem to be missing the option of purchasing the item for free!

Im fairly sure there used to be 1000s of those on the Exchange for 5-10K
Actually I happened to look at the exchange for this very item last week, and the cheapest one was about 1.5 mil. I'm sure those values all plummeted today. *Went and looked, the cheapest now is 1.2 mil*
From my POV it's a bit funny - I don't often talk to others in-game, but after a good conversation last week, someone just gave me the Outfit Box version of this very thing. I'd briefly contemplated selling it, but even tho he'd said "Use it, sell it, whatever" I thought better of it. Now I guess I'll hold it for awhile then give it away to someone who missed this giveaway.

Was hopeing for the FED/KDF combat EVA suits, would have been far better than the hopeless DS9 uniform. Atleast the EVA suits have some use, since they level with you, and can be used as armor in the early levels.
That, and they look cool...
Still nice for those who do not have it, but a bit meh for most launch day vets I guess...
There is no Deep Space 9 uniform in the Appearance section of the in-game c-store on any of my Federation characters. Nor is it listed anywhere else that I can find. I restarted the client, changed chars, nothing.

I agree. It's like we are getting nothing for supporting the game.
"Here ya go, free stuff for people who haven't given us money! Oh wait, there are some people who have already paid for this item... Ah, don't worry about them, we got their money!"
In the very least, reputation compensation boxes should have been given out. Similar to the Omega conversion crates.

Good deal. I had this one from my Collector's Edition way back when, but it's cool to see more people getting their hands on it. It also makes sense since DS9 stuff was second place on the recent poll. Looking forward to all the other cool stuff.
It'll probably alternate. Five Days, so it'll be Monday = Fed, Tuesday = KDF, Wednesday = Fed, Thursday = KDF & Friday = FED (and possibly KDF).
FEDs have more content either way.
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.
That would have been my reaction if I hadn't already paid you for it. I guess it could be worse, I could be KDF.
In the future, just a thought, maybe make it so people could get one free costume they don't already have. That way everyone could be excited about events like this, regardless of faction.

Lol, that would have been the one skirt I don't have for my characters, as of yet. And love the sig, I chuckle every time I see it.

Shame on you.
Anyway, thank you Cryptic, I now got the last costume I didn't have, for free. xD
Thank you very much, I didn't have that costume either. God Bless you all.
I actually didn't. All my posts can be found here: http://sto-forum.perfectworld.com/showpost.php?p=11849521&postcount=354

I second the nomination. Even though I have it, thank you Cryptic.
Like THAT will happen... *sigh*

For those of us who choose not to spend money, this is all-day awesome.

Also, the DS9 bundle is gone from the list.

It's my birthday this week too!
Tomorrow, I'm going to call the TNG Uniforms.
That would have been my reaction if I hadn't already paid you for it. I guess it could be worse, I could be KDF.
