    I actually didn't. All my posts can be found here: http://sto-forum.perfectworld.com/showpost.php?p=11849521&postcount=354

    Cheers,

    Brandon =/\=

    Your comment that "As in, if it's not a ship (Monday's costume, as an example), it will be one item only for one faction. In Monday's example, Federation." seems to have given the reader the impression that Tuesday may be KDF.

    Clearly that impression was unfounded, since there would be no need to give KDF players equivalent status as a faction in the game, and since the KDF have no need for shiny baubles and gadgets unless they are sharp, pointy and will draw blood when thrown.

    Thank you for the free things. Looking forward to Wednesday when KDF will begin to have something to look forward to.

    If you're not seeing it in the C-Store, you most likely already have the uniform. Maybe you purchased it from the Lobi store in the past?

    Cheers,

    Brandon =/\=

    If memory serves, I believe the uniform was also a possible reward from the Cardassian lock box at one time (or still)?

    Last time I checked the pants option of this uniform is still bugged. That and the soft boots option is completely missing. Any chance to have these issues addressee soon Bran? Thanks :)

    Couldn't be happier myself.

    Last zen store i bought was the Belfast Bridge pack.

    Now my boffs can wear the correct uniforms while my Admiral swans around in her finery on a proper Defiant class escort.

    I appreciate that not everyone will be as fortunate in todays choice as I am, but speaking for myself...


    diolch yn fawr iawn.


    Have fun with google translate.

    So they lied to us YET AGAIN.

    Is anyone really surprised?

    I checked my legacy unlocks -- it isn't there either. Not in the C-Store, not in the tailor, NOWHERE.

    They never should have claimed to be giving things away if they had NO intention of actually doing so. It's really no loss on our part, but it solidifies PWE's position as douchebag corperation.

    Thanks, Cryptic! Now a bunch of my Fed friends will be able to get this, and that makes me happy. :)

    Not sure I understand the complaining. Sure, part of me wishes it was a new account-wide KDF uniform. But for that to happen, they'd have to make a new uniform. I can understand being frustrated that there really aren't any account-wide ones (I wish they'd put some skirts in there, at the very least), and I can also understand the frustration that, even now, the Feds just seem to get more of everything. I am a KDF player (though, admittedly, not a KDF-only player), and have been since the KDF was nothing more than PvP and Empire Defense. I know that frustration. I share it. But... well, I guess I don't know what we were expecting here. Did we want Cryptic to give away something that didn't yet exist?

    And if the item they're giving away on a particular day happens to be something you can't use, or something you already have, why is that such a terrible thing? None of us is entitled to free stuff. Cryptic, for whatever reason, has decided to give us players stuff that normally costs ZEN; if it's stuff you don't happen to want (or can't use, or already have), you can just skip it, and you're not any worse off than you were before. It's not like this giveaway is taking anything away from anyone.

    Personally, I'm glad that others have the chance to unlock this account-wide. (Sure, not everyone plays Fed, but this will be great for the majority that does!) And I'm looking forward to whatever KDF ships become available, as I still don't have a lot of those. Thanks, Cryptic. :)

    Check at the taiilor to see if you already own it or not. I didnt see it in the c-store, never bought it either, but the tailor says I already own it. I think it came with Collectors Edition.

    But wont that mean they are character unlocks rather than account?

    DS9 costume was also part of gold edition of the game.

    Wow, the forums are never disappointing with the ungratefulness...I bet you go to stores, and demand them to give you free stuff because you brought a shirt at full price, and it's now on sale, or free.:rolleyes:

    He also has it in the tailor as was mentioned earlier probably due to the fact that he purchased a Collectors Edition. When did it get added to them? Or was it always supposed to be in them and some people just missed it

    Was hoping for KDF costume tomorrow, but given the lack of uniform options in the C-Store (hint, hint) I don't suppose it's that surprising.

    I think I can use the DS9 uniform... I don't remember if I already have it or not.

    there are TWO... 1, 2 ... If you don't count the space suits.

    There is the Acadamy and the Mercenary. Since they probably make money off the Merc and EVERYONE could have actually used it, its doubtful.

    Logic dictates that any KDF reward must be the Acadamy.

    It does not show up on the c-store with my Federation character. I think I already unlocked it but I am not sure. It would be nice to see it already unlocked (if it is).

    Look at Microsoft. If you buy a computer a couple months before the newest Operating System comes out, they give you a free upgrade (granted, you have to jump through hoops in order for them to mail it to you, but regardless).

    I would be very grateful if someone gave away something for free. I feel cheated when I already have that item and I receive no sort of compensation. Even a simple "For our customers who bought the uniform, thank you for supporting us!" would have sufficed.

    Exactly. If you purchased it earlier, or received it as part of a boxset or other promotion, it's not available to be claimed now because you already have access to it.
    STO is about my Liberated Borg Federation Captain with his Breen 1st Officer, Jem'Hadar Tactical Officer, Liberated Borg Engineering Officer, Android Ops Officer, Photonic Science Officer, Gorn Science Officer, and Reman Medical Officer jumping into their Jem'Hadar Carrier and flying off to do missions for the new Romulan Empire. But for some players allowing a T5 Connie to be used breaks the canon in the game.

    Yes, it was in some lock box ages ago and was very common reward. IMO most people having issues simply forgot.

    For everyone who can't see the uniform on their lists, as Brandon says, if you have the Collector's Edition, they don't show up on the C-Store. You just have it. If you go to the tailor, you'll see you have the ability to use the DS9 costumes.

    Don't forget you can go to https://my.perfectworld.com/account/sto and look under Activate Features to see what you have.

    The DS9 Bundle comes with the DS9 Admiral's Uniform, which is quite nice to be honest.

    The DS9 uniform is a Fed only outfit. If you are a Romulan this is not an option that you could choose. Bran has said that to claim any of the free items you have to meet the requirements for that particular items, such as faction, rank etc etc.

    Wow what a convenient giveaway. Came with the collectors edition and through lockboxes so about 50% or more of the people don't need it.

    Great stuff lets see what the disappointment is tomorrow.
    C-Store Inc. is still looking for active members on the fed side. If you don't have a fleet feel free to contact me in game @stegi.

    No, I'm guessing they have nothing to be grateful for, to be ungrateful they would have to get the uniform in the offer for free and then moan about it.

    I for one don't really care, its nice of them to give something away for those that don't have them already.

    Kdf will get their item tomorrow. Rom items are too new (they are still making money from those items). So there is no reason to feel cheated.

    Please read the community manager's comments in this thread. He stated three to four times already (in this thread) that FED Uniform Today and Tomorrow. Ships Wed, Thr, Fri
