TNG/DS9 Uniforms on BOF's not working!

SystemSystem Member, NoReporting Posts: 178,019 Arc User
I finally got my uniforms today, and am happy. However, for some reason i can't use them on my BOF's. Why may i ask? I got 5 uniforms per character, and what is the point of that if i can only use them on myself?

I do hope this is a bug, and that it will be fixed very soon.

    I'm convinced it's a bug. I can see the uniform in all its glory on my BOFF for about a second before it reverts. Even on my toon it's hit or miss if I'll see the original TNG uniform on him as I log in.

    Same thing with TOS uniforms and where are the mini-skirts?

    It's annoying to not be able to outfit your Boffs with a good looking uniform. I can understand the Wrath of Kahn Admirals uniform not working because it's for Admirals, but the regular outfits? Lets hope this gets remedied soon because I have a Doctor in need of his 2360's attire...

    It's a bug. A dev addressed these issues a couple of days back. Supposed to be fixed anytime now.

    I just got a reply from Customer Service...
    Currently that is working as designed. The pre-order costumes are meant for your main character only and not your bridge officers. We have announced on the forums that we are looking into ways to unlock them for the bridge officers, but until that changes it is not technically a bug. Thank you for playing Star Trek Online.

    Wow, that takes me back to the days of Blizzards "working as intended" statements about obvious, often game breaking problems on WoW.

    Funny thing is that I saw the post from a Dev where they said they were looking into fixing it but they failed to mention in that post that it was not a bug and working as intended. Of course if as intended was truly only for our main characters, thats ludicrous and slightly misleading as it never said that on any packaging or offers and is truly a disappointing stance.

    Indeed, and to consider that it says in the add for the GOLD edition that i will recieve 5 DS9 uniforms!!

    5 !?!?!?

    I can only make 3 characters, tops. So someone had a brainfart there i think.

    Yeah, doesn't quite make sense. I don't remember any Captains wearing mini-skirts, just the crew / BOFF"S.

    You are now imagining Kirk in a miniskirt.

    You love it.

    You want it.

    You desire it.

    His hairy legs.

    hmm my BO all have DS9 uniforms on, no issue there?
    i just went to the tailor and changed mine, then i did it on the bofs and voila, my entire command staff is now running around in PROPER uniforms.

    might be obsolete, but at least they dont look like painted latex as the "new" ones does ;)

    I agree, do not like the new uniforms that much. Currently, the TNG uniforms are the best looking, with DS9 coming second, and TNG Movie third.

    Use the TNG uniform myself, but due to design i can't use them on my BO's.

    I am using TOS uniforms. It actually looked pretty cool when I did City on the Edge of Never.

    This is why you put the men in real uniforms and the women in latex uniforms. :D

    I preordered, but haven't found any of my unlockables.... I think some research is in order.
    It's definitely a bummer about the uniforms.

    The TNG and the TNG: Movie uniforms work perfectly for me on my BOs.

    Lucky you. I can't select them in the first character modification screen where you get them for the first time. As soon as select them, they revert back to one of the standard uniforms.

    Will try the tailor, but do not have enough cash for that yet.

    Nope, i can't select them either during creation, nor at the Tailor. So i have no clue how you managed to get them working.

    Are you sure you are talking about the TNG - Series uniforms, and not the TNG - Movies uniform?

    You can change your uniform, so what does 5 options being available have anything to do with the fact that you can make 3 characters?

    If they truely are "working as intended", well that just seems a little bit ridiculous. Why give us access to uniforms that aren't fully functional.

    Unless...

    They plan on CHARGING for BOF uniforms later in the C-Store! Bah they got us again!

    "CRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYPTIIIIIIIC"!

    Just kidding. I'm sure this issue will be resolved sooner or later, because in all seriousness, giving us half functioning uniforms on purpose sounds a little silly. So until then, I'll just sit on my WoK uniforms and play another character or something. If I can't use it on all my bridge crew, then there's not much point in using it on my captain.
