    I am disappoint... I have very few photonics, but a buttload of purple officers with appropriate skills. I failed the first attempt, and hope to be able to reattempt it soon. It tasks me, it does.
    "Susse-thrai" had been the name bestowed upon her, half in anger, half in affection, by her old crew on Bloodwing; the keen-nosed, cranky, wily old she-beast, never less dangerous than when you thought her defenseless, and always growing new teeth far back in her throat to replace the old ones broken in biting out the last foe's heart.

    It's a union gig. You're getting backlash.

    Could always buy holonovels from the exchange and pop them. It's a 4 hour assignment and you get one of the Hamlet doffs out of them.

    hopefully it will be fixed in a near future patch.

    Hopefully. If you skim the past discussion, it;s been fixed but for whatever reason, it;s not been pushed out.

    Well, the Devs say they found the problem, but the fix apparently isn't live yet. Today's patch? hopefully.

    The fix was in the patch notes, has anyone retried it?
    I'm paranoid of running it without knowing for certain it can be retried. :P

    I did it. Got a success but it's greyed out atm with no sign of when it will be up again. I'm guessing 20 hours or whatever.

    I tried it once, and two of my officers got injured...that's one hell of a Hamlet performance! Wish I could have seen it, lol.

    Seems to be all fixed -- I was able to repeat the mission after yesterday's patch and got a critical success with Shakespeare as a reward. Thanks for the fix!!

    Don't quote me on this, But it looks like its somewhere in the neighborhood of 72 hours. Almost 100% sure it isn't an entire week.

    The reason is that William Shakespeare is a Unique doff. If you could repeat it, and try and get him multiple times, the assignment would never complete on successive times through because the rewards would be unable to be granted.

    We'd like to make it repeatable, but there are limitations. If we can figure out a way around them, we'll likely change it so that the repeatable version has a chance to grant the Unique Doff on Crit. No promises, though.
    I got the chance. Because I didn't know, because I thought it was like any doff asignment. I spent 19 or 20 (I don't remind how much) purple doff with right skill/abilities and I failed. So you mean there is only one chance?! So then I lost my only chance getting this special doff.
    it's a pity. As usually you make the game unfair...

    No... you can do version1 until you crit and get Shakespeare. Then you do version 2.

    Still grayed out.

    Come on. I had to read this crud in high school and college and grad school. Do you know what it'll be like to chuck his doff out the airlock?

    Strange.... I crit it on the first try, got Will. I repeated the mission and crit it a second time and got a Blue Vulcan Entertainer Hologram. Seems it is fixed somewhere...

    Edit: Missed the part about it being patched

    I'm finally attempting this assignment to try an alternate method of obtaining the purple entertainment holos I am after.
    That's because the Special Deals are just failure after failure and combined with the 7 day cooldown, I need something more efficient.

    But I have no official information on the cooldown.

    72hours seems a bit much.

    But it's better then 7 days and I don't have to go randomly hunting the assignment, since I know where it is.

    Mind you, I still have to crit it the first time to unlock the Repeatable.
    That could take a while!

    It's a long CD, I'm not quite sure how long. One of my chars has yet to get Shakespeare from it.

    I tried this mission and it sent 3 blue officers to sickbay. I haven't seen entertainment with such potential for injury since Brick Tamland's celebrity golf tournament. :)

    I'm sure your DPS is great, but as Kahless said, "a petaQ with high system mastery is still a petaQ." (Well, he should have said it...!)

    Yes, I'm expecting to spend a long time trying to crit this.

    I've never critted more then 7 assignments on the first try.

    Considering how many hundreds I've done, that's probably less then 1% of my total assignments.

    I have SEVERAL cast members of the mission and still fail it every time. I have First, Second, and Third players, Cornelius, Fortinbras, Reynaldo, Claudius, Gertrude, Ghost of Hamlet's Father, Laertes, Polonius, and Hamlet, Prince of Denmark. And all my other officers that I assign to this mission are either rare of very rare officers with critical success abilities needed. Every single time I go and check on it after it completes, I ALWAYS get a Failure to it. WTF?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? Why does that ALWAYS happen?

    In advance payback of you resurrecting an 8-month old thread, perhaps?
