Will reclaims for the Platinum pack items stay?

edited September 2023 in Star Trek Online General Discussion
With past claims (titles, ships, shields, etc), once a character did the initial claim and received any 1-time items, a reclaim for all account wide items would be in the promotions tab of the store.

With this one, the reclaim still shows in Mudd's Market. Will it be available for new characters after the 16th? The lack of a timer on it seems to indicate yes, but since it is not in the promotions tab...?

If possible, I'd like confirmation from Cryptic, but in cases like this they often live up to their name. :smile: Anyone know for sure what will happen after the 16th?

Thanks

    Yes, but his point was is it going to move from Mudd's to the Promotions Tab so that it would be 'stickied' for the future after it disappears from Mudd's Market.

    The Platinum Discovery Era Sniper Rifle from the Cryptic 20th Anniversary Pack can now be reclaimed on all characters.

    from patch notes.
    i think the other stuff, vanity shield was already account wide claim.

    Oh, nice on the rifle! I had not read the notes yet.
    As for the others, yeah, I know they can be claimed on other characters now. I just want to know whether they will remain available for characters later. Like, if I create a new character on the 17th, will it still be there like the alliance shield or medical shield are.

    Just an FYI

    The Character I originally claimed it on could claim it again, once. So it seems that, that Character can have two. If you Claim again, it will will not let you open the Pack.

    It also has now been set to not Reengineerable and the initial one I claimed previously that was Reengineered is reset to default, wasting all the resources I spent doing so.

    ah... one would hope, but given how i have to claim OS stuff from the store, id not bet any zen on it.
    thanks for the clarification. i had not understood that to be the question. still on my first cup of java.

    Maybe you should try coffee instead of Java, Java is slower because it is interpreted..... :lol:

    I'm not sure how likely an official answer on this will be, but I still have hope there might be one before the 16th. Would be nice to know I can still pick these items up on future characters.

    Ouch oO
    You should try to contact support to get the res back; its not like its your fault :(

    BTW now that I think about it the only items I ever even bothered to consider re-engineering where locked out of that. Its interesting on paper but effectively the most useless feature in game with all the exceptions.

    Update to my situation from another Thread:

    'I claimed the Rifle on a Character when it was single Character only. I Reengineered it and the Infinity Symbol on it disappeared. When it became Account-wide after the Patch I claimed another. The original Rifle still had no Infinity Symbol AND had reverted to its original Procs and could not be Reengineered.

    The newly claimed Rifle had the Infinity Symbol and could not be Reengineered. I logged off and back on. The original Rifle, still without the Infinity Symbol, could now be Reengineered again. The new one with the Symbol still cannot be Reengineered.

    I had to pay for the Reengineering twice on the original single Character Rifle but that Character has two of those Rifles. You cannot claim more than one of the newer Account-wide Rifles and cannot Reengineer it. I suspect that they ended up being two different Items in the Item Database.'

    I couldn't even open the second rifle after claiming it on the one who originally claimed it to begin with. Got the "You cannot have more than one of a unique item"

    My guess is, after you re-engineered it, it became a different rifle, thus allowing you to claim another. Why it then reverted back is anyone's guess.
    Now a LTS and loving it.
    Just because you spend money on this game, it does not entitle you to be a jerk if things don't go your way.
    I have come to the conclusion that I have a memory like Etch-A-Sketch. I shake my head and forget everything. :D

    Exactly what I thought. That Infinity Symbol disappearing after Reengineering on the original was the key.

    I guess I'll find the answer to this one way or the other in the next two days, but I still wonder why it is so hard to get confirmation on such things. Cryptic should know how it works, yes? Wouldn't it be simpler to let us know for cure ahead of time rather than dealing with people complaining later about where the reclaims went (if they do go away, which is as yet unknown)?
