I have to say, I'm getting really, really angry about this, considering I paid extra compared to everyone else for stuff that IS NOT IN GAME.
We have been given no ETA, no explanation of what the bug is that is keeping it out.
As a lawyer, I'm almost clinically interested to see what would happen if I sued Gamestop, Trymedia and Cryptic after the inevitably refused to give me a refund for failing to provide everything described.
I am by no means suggesting it happen or saying I'd do so, I'm just curious to see how that would turn out.

You would win $.35 or whatever the portion of the extra money for the bonus items that are missing is that the court decides is a fair percentage. It would be worth it though, even with five grand in legal fees, just to be able to depose the cryptic staff in person and actually get an effing reply for once.
Have you ever heard the phrase "if you arn't helping, you are hindering." How about "if you arn't part of the solution, you are part of the problem."
Seriously, do you think a dev is more likely to read this thread now that there are 28 (of 31) pages of useless posts? This thread is supposed to be a resource for the dev's to actually fix the problems we want fixed, but now they are going to have to sift through all of the imature "I want this game to be perfect NOW!" posts to try and find the constructive posts that will actually make the game better. I wonder how many mature, useful posts will be missed because of all you people throwing tantrums.
If you don't have anything valuble to add, don't clutter up a thread with junk.

Pot, kettle. Kettle, pot.
And, wtf, it's a thread about missing uniform options. There are no new missing uniform options beyond those listed already. What kind of breaking news are you expecting?
If you don't have anything valuble to add, don't clutter up a thread with junk.
Ironically, you mentioned nothing about the missing uniform options in your post, adding to the lack of value.
Personally, I'm very surprised that there was no patch in the past couple days. But I have City of Heroes and The Sims 3 to mostly keep my attention off the STO uniform problems while I wait.

Actually, in a class aciton lawsuit, I'd be the attorney, so Cryptic would have to refund that for everyone who bought it and I'd end up getting like 40% of the total, haha.
No, they're slightly dark gray. In fact, no uniform options in this game are really much more than dark gray. Your darkest colors are a dark gray, but the Khan pants are especially light when they should not be.
I won't quit over something like this because I still very much enjoy the game. But the quoted post pretty much sums up the point. I paid extra for the DDE, SPECIFICALLY for the complete TOS uniforms, skirts and all, for my captain AND my BO's, was promised we'd have them on the 2nd when the game went live, were major selling points of that particular edition, and now a week later are still not fully in game.
Compensation of some kind would be nice, even if they do "eventually" get them put in. Especially considering the /powerhue "bug" was fixed a couple days after the game went live, and those threads got far more response from Cryptic as to info/ETA.
Anyways
/rant off
anyone got screen shots that say feb 2nd and something that specifically mentions the skirts from the DDE, following the advice of my father, a retired journalist, I bringing this this issue to the notice of the LA Times.

that might be for the best, i can tell you from experience pure black doesn't work to well in CGI
ive tired hundreds of different way to highlight Leon's armor but he always renders the same
It sure would be nice to know when this is going to happen. Over halfway done leveling and havent been able to use any of my custom uniforms for my crew. Pretty disappointing.

Forum search by name for StormShade and "2nd" as the search word should probably turn something up.
Sorry, no slack should be given in this area.
If they can't provide us with the uniforms then they should haven't charged us extra for them.
Oh, by no means do I suggest that you shouldn't get what you paid for. I was only referring to my particular situation with the standard options of clothing which I believe will be coming forthwith. They should indeed provide those who paid extra with what they paid extra for.

"TOS Uniform" implies skirt as no female in TOS wearing the uniform ever wore pants, only dresses actually. "Mirror Universe Uniform" is a little too nebulous because it doesn't say "TOS Mirror Universe Uniform" just "Mirror Universe Uniform". It would be unreasonable to demand a specific one. It could even end up being the Mirror Universe uniform from Mirror Archer's Enterprise, and that one involved pants.
There is absolutely no wording that implies only the male TOS uniform. As such, if Cryptic were to make the claim that it's male only after the fact (and they have NOT made that claim) then it could be considered intentionally misleading advertising.
However, a week isn't enough time before seeking legal reparations. It is possible that the reason is because if they released the skirts now, there would be no textures for the legs and torsos of species other than Human, Betazoid, Orion, etc with more or less just colored human skin.
The game was rushed and it's obvious not all the content could be pushed out in time, I'm willing to wait. Frankly though, I am starting to get impatient... I just hit admiral on my liberated Borg character and want to make a tactical Trill who starts off in a skirt!
What's the holdup? I know Cryptic claims that it's reading these threads. I know they probably are. But didn't Jackalope get on your cases for "designing from the ivory tower" a couple times already?
Come down out of that ivory tower and give us a heads up! The villagers are starting to shop for torches and pitchforks, I'm not, but I'm also not going to get in their way.

First post of this thread, by StormShade. Reads (in part):
This is garbage. I understand that its a launch week and Cryptic is trying to iron out their bugs. But I can't log in three quarters of the day. And when I can log in I have to wait anywhere form five to thirty minutes in a queue. This is really frustrating, I'm a die hard Star Trek fan and you know we will accept almost any thing as long as Star Trek is pasted on it. But you guys are really close to loosing me, if you keep this up!!!

I'm not having that problem anymore, try lowering your graphic settings. Oh, and the queue is gone. Also, this is the wrong thread.
I have a few things to say. To all of the people saying to be patient, time is running out. The game only comes with 30 days of playtime, after that you have to pay more, so time is an issue. Frankly, I didn't feel the game would be worth paying a subscription for, in the condition it's in now, but I was willing to buy the game to play for 30 days. The only reason I bought the deluxe digital edition was for the TOS uniforms. I am a huge fan of the original series and had wanted to role-play with my TOS female uniform. I have no desire to play the game without it. I don't think it's a novel or unreasonable idea to want to role-play in a mmorpg with the costume that I've already paid for.
Info On some Gold Editions Retailers sites clearly state You are to recieve DLC Card containing 5 in game costumes - Unless You count the normal ones, so far all I can see is DS-9 - The Movies - TNG - As TOS Uniform was from D2D that can't count. So seem to be missing 2 Uniforms from Gold Edition - The card with a scrape away Field only says DS-9 Uniform, weird since some web-site info says DLC card should have 5 in-game costumes. i have Print-Screened sites containing that info.
Like many others I'm still awaiting Your fix for the TOS Dress and high boots for female characters. Hope it's not just a min-skirt to add to the top shirt. As soon as that is fixed I can make my Female Captain. Not in the mood to start a character and LvL her up and then having to restart once the other uniform choices gets added.

Actually the original Pre Order FAQ mentioned 'miniskirts' quite specifically as a selling point for the TOS uniforms in the DDE. With an Exclamation point even.
TOS Costumes
Players can clothe their Federation characters in the uniforms made famous by William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy in the classic Star Trek: The Original Series. Players can freely change the colors of the uniform. Also note: The TOS costumes do include mini-skirts!

I have a funny feeling they are stumbling around Drunk on a beach somewhere with our money.... GG Cryptic...
Now there's some fine Feregi thinking!

How? When I use black on them, it makes them light gray. All of the colors look bleached on the TWOK pants.
Oh, by no means do I suggest that you shouldn't get what you paid for. I was only referring to my particular situation with the standard options of clothing which I believe will be coming forthwith. They should indeed provide those who paid extra with what they paid extra for.
tried that yesterday, no luck, my search fu is week need to invest more skill points in it.
