Yes, currently, the previous Lobi Hunt Accolades have been removed.
Well, ain't that lovely?
I have three toons that won't be able to complete the Cold War accolade because some dumbass dev decided to put a big rock over it, and now you go and remove the accolades entirely.
Seriously, who comes up with this "brilliant" ideas?
it very nice to get the chance at some lobi but 2 things I have to moan about.
1. why is `cold war` not being included in the hunt this time I missed out on the accolade with my rom last time as `cold storage` map was bugged and I was hoping to get it this time around.
2. although its fun to do these hunts you could have done this at a time when there is less going on, what with `sphere of influence` that I need to do 3 times with each character to get all the neat rewards that are up for grabs plus the halloween special `hearts and minds` to also do with all my characters I feel like saying why not stick a broom to my back end and I`ll sweep the floor while I`m about it.
When I think about everything we've been through together,
maybe it's not the destination that matters, maybe it's the journey,
and if that journey takes a little longer,
so we can do something we all believe in,
I can't think of any place I'd rather be or any people I'd rather be with.

Why three times? You can pick the carrier itself, the Advanced drones, and one of the two set pieces on the first run and then pick up the second set piece the second run. Unless, you mean the standard AP beam array, in which case, wouldn't you be wanting to run it more than 3 to b3e able to equip 4-6 of them on the carrier?
You can complete one single episode a day and earn your rewards, and the 20 hour cooldown will begin after you have turned in that completed mission and received your 15 Lobi. I am afraid there is no in-game countdown for the cooldown period (like you would see for STF events) so make sure and track your game play to maximize your Lobi earning potential
Ah, thanks; the news article just says "per day", so I wasn't sure if that was the same 1900 GMT-5 that resets the Dilithium refinement cap or what. Glad you clarified that.
Another step along the path of changing Lobi from the 'Lockbox consolation prize' into something more, something I'm glad to see. - now we just need to discuss some of the Lobi Uniform bugs like boots being required with the KDF Skirts and only being able to wear Korath gauntlets and sash with Jacket - Tight tops...
Personally, I wouldn't mind seeing headgear added to the Lobi store; Starfleet caps (ala Enterprise), Romulan Centurion helmets, maybe some kind of Klingon battle-helm...

^Words that every player should keep in mind, especially whenever there's a problem with the game...
Good I love this idea. Hope they do more in the future similar. I will get what I can off this deal. But I doubt I will be on each day for it. At least I will get something. I have a couple items on my list in the Lobi store. So this will help.
Glad to see the regular feature series like this again. Now I can get the Reman on my Romulan. So it can be added to her Bridge Officer crew.

Why is the team system so buggy all the time? Just did a replay with a 4 person team and only 2 of us got the lobi at the end. Then my character select screen was bugged showing someone else's char for all of mine.
Yes, currently, the previous Lobi Hunt Accolades have been removed.
~CaptainSmirk
I'm guessing the reason for that is there was 1 hidden lobi in each of the episodes that are part of the featured series rerun event for a total of 20 free lobi per character and lobi is account bound now. Don't want us racking up a ton of lobi for players with lots of characters that haven't ever done the FE rerun event before. (the hidden lobi were tied to accolades and you could only get each lobi once per character, period) If that's the case I understand the reasoning.
As for me I only have 2 characters created sometime after the last FE rerun, so that would have only been 40 free lobi. On the bright side this means I only need to do the final episodes of each series on them to get the cane, shard, reman and breen boffs, though 1 of them I have to skip a bunch of episodes.
What irks me is the fact that the last time you ran the event the final hidden lobi in the episode 'Cold Storage' was inside a mountain and not accessible. The event ran for about a month last time and players reported it and asked about it the entire run of the event. You jerks didn't fix it until the day before the event ended and didn't extend the event a few days giving people more time to get the final lobi/accolade.
As for me I was able to play that last day and get the accolade on the characters that needed it but there were some players stuck with needing 1 stinking lobi to get the final accolade and now they'll never be able to get it.
LMAO - I JUST completed the Obisek thread last night on my Romulan. If I knew these rewards were back, I'd have waited 24hrs. Oh well - my timing has always been lousy :-/
VERY good to see these back though - thanks!!!eleventy-one!!!

cos I want the other rare antiproton beam Mk X1 that only comes up as choice from the second time round onwards, its a nice piece of kit and at 17,946 ec its worth a third run through to get it.
and no I only want it once, thanks all the same.
and you can add to my last I now see that season 8 goes live on nov 12th so there is even more we will have to do that will stop us from replaying old missions even for the lobi rewards.

i was totally wrong with this comment.
1 `cold war` is included but there are no accolades to be gained this time arround anyway.
2 i was under the illution that this was like the old lobi hunt with 1 crystal per mission so i thought that the 15 lobi per day mentioned was optermistic at best, but you only need 1 mission for the 15 lobi

Maybe I am dense but do you have to have done these before to do this special rerun as I don't seem to be able to start any of them up?
Edit: Never mind. Had to clear the Romulam episodes. A lot of skipping to go back after these Featured Reruns are done.

This explains much. typical. I can't tell you how many times i tried that mission last time we were in FE Reruns; several at least! Of course the fix came AFTER i was so sick of it i was no longer wasting time with the forum. Well at least i know now...
So here i am, hoping and praying to be spared from bugs, glitches and lag, OH MY! Trying to decide which of my 30 chars should do the FEs as i grind my weakest links to Lv 10 and which should do "Sphere of Influence" before the deadline.
Like Garak, I hope for the best, but have learned to expect the worst. I shall endeavor to remain positive in my quests for Obelisk Carriers and FE Rewards. However, it is most regrettable that the majority of the FEs are restricted to Lvls 25-48.

Nitpicking is a time-honored tradition of science fiction. Asking your readers not to worry about the "little things" is like asking a dog not to sniff at people's crotches. If there's something that appears to violate natural laws, then you can expect someone's going to point it out. That's just the way things are.
Dumb question, but are all of these rewards bound on pickup? Ie, if I do the Romulan missions with my Fed char and get the Reman officer, could I then mail-transfer him to my Romulan character, or would I be stuck with him?
EDIT: Nevermind, I looked it up and apparently I can't. Durn.

Lobi is Bound to Account now, one of the better adjustments of late. It is especially good from a business standpoint, since it means that every F2P player has to buy at least one Shared Bank unlock to transfer them between characters. Of course, the same is true of EC's, which you also get a shared bank for with the purchase of that first set of Shared Bank slots.
First two things to buy if you're Silver: EC Cap Increase and the first Shared Bank unlock.
With each passing day I wonder if I stepped into an alternate reality. The Cubs win the world series. Donald Trump is President. Britain leaves the EU. STO gets a dedicated PvP season. Engineers are "out of control" in STO.
Considering how many of these missions have been broken since Season 8 dropped, you need to extend the deadline for getting the chain completion rewards. There are at least a few of them that literally can't be finished, which makes it impossible for people to get the chain completion rewards. I don't know why you can't manage to do a major release without bugging missions, but this happens every time. It's really bad when there's an event like this going on and you make it impossible to do said event.

You don't need to do the other missions to actually get the mission rewards like the Shard of Possibilities or the Ophidian Cane. You can do just the final mission of those series of episodes to get those rewards.
I hypothesize that Cryptic's base code has a bug, and they only realized that updates TRIBBLE things up after the fact. I think that at this point they are weighing the cost of a two-month downtime to completely rewrite everything against the cost of patching a bunch of stuff after every update, and choosing the latter. It's a good business decision, and I have to say that it works better for us as players. Since I have a...flexible schedule, the interruptions to the lobi event from the maintenance don't affect me, so I see where I am not as affected as some people are, and I support an extension of the event (who doesn't), but I do think that Cryptic is getting too much flak here. They are working their butts off to fix everything from the broken Foundry to the featured episode issues, and they give us a game that really is playable and enjoyable as a free player, unlike some MMORPGs (*cough* SWTOR *cough*), so I really don't see why people are laying on the hate so much.
Plus, I completed the chains on my main toon prior to the event, and got all of the end rewards with a few quick runs in day 1 of the event. I'm in newly overpowered free player heaven right now, and it is a magical place.
On a lighter note, it's been really fun to have my KDF rommie shoot Thot Trel repeatedly in the face on a daily basis. The Breen have it coming. Plus, I have a Breen boff now who I equipped with a buttload of anti-Voth gear. He totally pwns in the Sphere battlezone. My new Reman sci boff lets me solo Voth cruisers in my mirror ha'apax in under 30 seconds. I have no reason whatsoever to complain, even if I can't run any of my favorite Foundry missions and the FEs are bugged out the eyeballs.
Cryptic what has gotten into you. You've been on an awesome streak since Legacy's log in issues were resolved. Kudos, Chapeau, Outstanding, Qa'pla.
There trying to quiet down the people who are kicking off about Arc and think doing stuff like this will placate the people who are rioting about it. I for one do not really care there is nothing in the lobi store that interested me since Season 6 so rather just do the new content and skip grinding the FEE's daily

You can redo the same mission over and over to get it. All of my 15 lobi sets have come from runs of "Spin the Wheel".
@drake122svk: Yes the timer is 20h from the time you get the lobi not 24h and not reset with the refine limit.
If you do it every 20h you will end up with over 600 lobi. The 500 number assumes that you run it about every 24 hours.
