What happened to Dust to Dust feature episode? There was no mention about a time limit in the blog.

I just logged in to run dust to dust and it got dropped from my mission log. Reading the blog there was no mention about a time limit. Is this a bug? Normally the feature episodes don’t vanish after weeks. There was no indication is would be going away from the main site or in game.

    I haven't checked it yet, but I would expect it would now be at the end of the DR episode arc? It might have been dropped because you don't qualify for it yet, and/or the mission reward have changed (I believe the Kobali uniform was time-limited? The QMendations definitely are, but they are only on the first play-through.)

    Uh... lol

    Guess it hasn't been "moved" yet. It's still listed separate from the main story arcs, but you can't hail. It should eventually end up after "What's Left Behind" in the delta arc.

    My best guess is it was supposed to just remove the Kobali uniform from the reward table, but someone messed up and instead put a code that made the whole mission locked.

    Or, they were supposed to unlock the mission in its proper place (Delta Rising series of episodes) with the last weekly patch, but when they extended the anniversary event, they forgot it wouldn't end during another weekly patch.

    Not the first time Cryptic puts something in place and fails to realize a part of the consequences (like using the voice-over of Spock from the introduction video to the StarFleet tutorial for Sela to listen to or having Tuvok and Cooper reintroduce themselves in A Step Between Stars as if they don't know you).

    It will probably show up again in the Thursday patch.

    Relax, they put a lot of effort into making the episode, they aren't going to leave it on the shelf.

    It's probably just a slight bug that needs to be fixed in the next patch.

    It should work similar to "A Step Between Stars" from last year's Anniversary Event. As long as your toon played mission during the event it should be replayable afterwards. Just wait for the fix.

    I've had missions like Surface Tension sitting on lower level captains for some time.

    They probably needed to drop the mission to remove the Kobali Uniform reward and neglected to add the new version back to your list.

    Every once in awhile I get messages saying so-and-so mission is out of date and has been removed from your list and then it gets re-added to it.

    Hey everyone,
    This mission will be moved into the Delta Quadrant storyline section after this upcoming Thursday's weekly maintenance patch.

    Sorry for the confusion everyone!

    Cool, glad it will come back. They usually do. Cause I ran it with speakers off, and not looking at the cutscenes. So it wouldn't ruin the story until I finished the other story arc. I'm glad I ran it on my Romulan to get the uniform. As least I can dress up the Boff some I got from the mission. I did run it on my Fed far enough to get the Boff there too. KDF I didn't as the Boff don't fit his team well.

    It looks like this Thursday, after the patch. We can double check this mission live to make sure it is WAI.

    Heya Smirk, There are rumors that the Uniform and some of the rewards will get removed after the episode gets placed. If that is true, Why was it said that ALL the rewards for that episode was permanently tied to that episode?

    Please let the players know that they haven't missed out on getting all the rewards.
