    Do you need to claim it only once and it will later be available for all other characters OR each character can only claim it during that period then its gone?
  • adzcriz1adzcriz1 Member Posts: 64 Arc User
    Appears to be a bug, posted in bug reports, currently you can only claim it once on your account and only on 1 character, theres no option to reclaim it via zen store / dil store, and the news article and the store item wording is very misleading, suggesting its for the whole account. So its either a bug or poor communication issue.

    Regardless, it seems to be a constant problem with the announcments- where to look to claim them, or is it for just one character or is it an account unlock. I even recall forgetting to put a date once.

    Forutnatly I have the rifle from a previous event, so you could check the event tab if you did not already have it, could be it appears there.

    Oh forgot to add if you have the weapon in your inventory and poss your bank it will not show in the events tab for some reason, most if not all the other things just grey out when that happens.

    I thought i recognised the weapon and description.

    Personally I dont care about the holo suits they are consumables and disapear if you enter combat.

    This was *supposed* to be Once Per Character. We're investigating what went wrong, and if we can fix that for live.

    Appreciated nevertheless. I was just going to re-suggest it was made available again. Hope you can find what was the issue so all characters can have the opportunity to acquire it once at some point.
    Adm. Necheyev didn't own ANY Starfleet ships. Starfleet did. Also she didn't make one bolt, connect a single wire, gelpack or device, or otherwise helped on making them. I find it presumptuous she claimed it was HER ships. In fact saying as much would probably warranty a reprimand from any of her superiors in Federation and possibly not participating in said actions as other superior personnel do, would in our days(2409 onwards) result in herself facing the same fate as what she has threatened, in that same penal colony.

    I personally think its because the holo things are account bound instead of char bound and the system thinks its a 1 time unlock, but am probably wrong.

    Of course we will - why wouldn't we?

    Can't help but notice that the news article has changed slightly. Does this mean we will not be able to reclaim it?

    I guess not since they changed it to say once per account, when I did claim it i did assume it was once per account given the holo things were account rather than char bound.

    Its like the holo doc for the Voyager giveaway unless they have changed it since I last looked it did not specify if the doc was account or a 1 time char unlock, and since its still not popped up anywhere it looks like that was a 1 time 1 char giveaway rather than an account unlock.

    I do not mind so much if its an account or 1 char giveaway just wish they would state which it is, ep with the holo doc as the kling 1 is a generic 1 that is the only 1 the klings have so if you already have it unlocked you would want to claim it on a fed.

    Fort I claimed the Voyager box on a fed so got the voy doc but some might of claimed it on a klingon not knowing it was not an account unlock.

    Claimed the promo after hearing it was going to be fixed as a 'per character' item. Based on the tweet, that's what it was supposed to be. Yet now it seems they have retroactively changed their mind. This pisses me off 'cause I have a character who is Section 31 themed with covert drone and everything and now I can't get it on him.

    Be clear and concise with your communications, guys. Some of us actually listen.

    The Voyager box actually is an account unlock though. I claimed it on my main and - I think it was yesterday for the first time - there's now a reclaime option on other toons. Might have to scroll down a bit on the Promotions tab in the C-store.

    The ships are account unlock but the Boff is not. As I say yes it would be nice if the boff was an account unlock, but I am not overly bothered if something is account or a one of unlock, but they should say as it helps decided which char to claim it on, plus it saves people trying to figure if it is a bug or not.

    Plus the boff not being a one time char unlock does not matter for my Klingons as they only have 1 generic holo doc boff and I have that 1 from at least one other giveaway, so they can not have more than one and who would want more than one anyway.

    Did you check the events reclaim tab right at the bottom you might already have the weapon account unlocked, it was an event reward at one time, it will not show up though if you have it in your inventory and possibly in your bank.

    pity, the only other place it maybe if you want it is in the pheonix stuff, though can not remember if its availible there.

    Looking at the exchange i was not alone in attempting to pick up a covert drone kit module since it works exceptionally well with the S31 rifle.

    This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.

    What requirements do you need, my one character I tried to receive it and it said Doesn't meet requirements
    She is a new character.

    Have you completed the tutorial?
    For some factions, this includes playing up to the end of the first storyline too:
    • TOS Starfleet - Complete "The Battle of Caleb IV" (Perhaps also "Welcome to Earth Spacedock")
    • DSC Starfleet - Complete "Downfall", perhaps even "Welcome to Earth Spacedock"
    • Romulan Republic - Complete "Turning Point"
      (Perhaps even "Neutral No More" or "The Price of Neutrality")
    • Dominion - Complete "Home"
