    At this point, Tellarites are in the C-store as a playable race; Rigellians and Pakleds are available as Bridge Officers.

    Wait so they advertised them as playable species and they decided not to make them playable?

    [edit]Dstahl to the rescue. :)

    I figured that they were having the same issue as the C-Store ships. That may not be the case though.

    Ah, yay, awesome. At least I know they're ... looking into it.

    Hopefully we will figure out the gameplan soon.

    yeah, I was all excited to make a pak'led. I hope they add the ability to make one soon...and that it costs less than 160 cryptic points so I don't have to buy anymore just yet.

    So devs, any response on what exactly is going on?

    I was a bit aggrivated that the Rigelians werent up yesterday, but I've mainly cooled off now. It's mainly just the fact that no one is saying anything that's prompting a little bit of nerd rage here and there around the forums. This is what we got --

    Video, going "NEW SPECIES! PAKLEDS, RIGELIANS, TELLARITES!"
    Then only one was added, and no one said AANNnytthing.
    It's that complete lack of communication with an obvious oversight/change that prompts us to get paranoid and believe there's malicious intent involved. Like some higher up decided we shouldn't have THAT much new content so quickly. Which I find is ridiculous.

    So, any word? What's going on? What's the thinking behind the scenes?

    Good luck getting a informative response.

    Cryptic didn't work that way in CoH/V, Not in CO and they wont here.

    Well, I an confident they are reading it. And if they are good little devs, they would at the very least be trying to figure out something.

    Unless they had orders not to say anything. Which I don't think is the case, sense dstahl already mentioned that they are "looking into this", however much that wins the vague award of the year.

    So I have confidence that diligence and persistence will prove that we are annoying enough to answer.

    SO, as we wait, who knows what about the Rigelian and Pakled BOs? I can't actually get one I don't think, since I'm RA5 already. What's the stats? They're special abilities?

    Using the Alien type you can make something that looks like one just like you could with klingons or ferengi before they put them out on the cstore.

    I agree, people get excited just because a GM came on here and said we are looking into it.

    This is CP people, They used the back end date on the Calendar and still got it wrong lol

    All we can do is wait in the dark as normal.

    I assume you mean Pakleds here, cause I sure cant make a Rigelian. :-)

    Ooooo nicelu spotted Peacekeeper. So it was not just us 'inferring". They most definitely said they were playable.

    Really? Seems like they're being pretty informative concerning issues like this. I mean, at least they're responding to player concerns and feedback.

    But I too am glad that they are looking into this situation. While I don't want a Rigellian or Pakled for a character, having them as BOffs would be cool.

    Considering it's Friday, I'm going to be very disappointed if I can't make anything go this entire weekend.

    Just spoke with marcom and Jack and the schedule that I posted yesterday is the correct schedule. Marcom has been asked to update the web page to reflect the fact that these items were intended to come out "during" Season One. That is what I've always been told and what matches up to what the team is working on.

    The Ship scheduled for March 25th, was made available last night and should be ready to go.

    Here's some additional tentative dates that were not in the FAQ
    Playable Fed Pakled - April 29
    Playable Fed Rigelian - June 24

    From another thread.

    From what I've gathered from another one of Stahl's posts in the thread about the "missing" ship variants, the Season One update is actually the time frame between March 25th and the release of Season Two. The rest of the updates and content will be rolled out during this period.

    My Lt. Cmdr. 6 character got a new BO yesterday evening. A 'Blue' (Rare) Female Pakled Engineer with Superior Soldier, and a new racial Trait called 'Dumb Luck' which had useful defense and crit bonuses... Just the thing I needed to help reduce my rate of becoming incapacitated during ground combat missions.

    Okay, NOW its nerd rage time.

    WHAT THE HELL is the point of telling people that RIGELIANS will be purchasable in the shop on THIS DATE, SEASON ONE, when they change it to JUNE 24th!

    JUNE 24th!

    THIS is March. March, April, May, END OF JUNE.

    That's practically THREE MONTHS AWAY.

    That is NOT SEASON ONE. That's basically SEASON TWO!!!

    Heck, they said they're gonna do CAITIANS in APRIL! So what? Caitians are going to come out before the species you guys say would come out on THIS DATE? ARRGGHH!!

    Okay, officially, I shall not be purchasing any more cryptic points for anything until Rigelians arrive. Ridiculous

    THIS is what annoys me with the C-store races. You can make them with the alien creator, if they dont add real racial abilities you cant get there. Whats the damn point in buying them then? Like the Ferengi.

    lol... i love how set dates become from this date to that date with these guys and everyone eats it up, to the point of villifying anyone that tries to say they said something different beforehand. Like the 45 day update and the 18th to the 31st timeframe.

    Yeah, its absolutely ridiculous.

    THREE MONTHS to start the new character I was wanting? By that time season two will be around the corner!

    It's absolutely ridiculous and Cryptic isn't going to be talking their way out of it. Is anyone going to quit over it? No. But it's one more bit of bad blood between the community and the developers. It doesn't help their case, at all.

    And as I said, I'm not going to be gungho to purchase any more cryptic points anytime soon.

    This is how it goes --

    "SEASON ONE COMES OUT BETWEEN THIS DATE, AND HERE'S THE STUFF IN IT!"

    But now the STUFF in Season One does not release on the same DATE as Season One. Which makes it kind of freakin useless to have a RELEASE CALENDAR, doesn't it Cryptic!

    No one cares that the Season One BEGINS between these dates. They want the CONTENT of it.

    You're selling the NEW CONTENT. Not the NEW NAME of the Content. Figure it out!

    Technically it was

    UNNAMED 45 day update

    then

    Season one at 45 days

    then

    Season one on the calendar from the 18th to the 31st (and ppl eventually figured out that means it might come out between those dates, as I never saw anything saying as much)

    then

    What will come out in Season One ends up being it will come out over a period of time called Season One, not its gonna come out when the rest of the update does.

    What annoys me are the ppl that when it was revealed that the Update was finally coming out were like "Hey, its not that far off the 45 day mark" like they were right all along, or the ones that keep saying how they never said that the update would be on 45 days etc.
