lol@cyrptic calling it a 'special version' since its account unlock : this is the way these cstore items USED to work ( i have both hortas as account wide unlocks already ) but ofc they got greedy
A pet? lol! Instead of some great ship, we get this? I wont even start the game for this thing!
So they will give three and the first is worthless. Ok, two to go.
If you don't want to get free items that's no reason to force it on the rest of us:)
I personally look forward to using this item in game!
For those of you not familiar with the way they do this, the more days into the event, the higher the item is.
Oh, I saw the last event. Claimed on all 5 days, if memory serves me right - or perhaps I could only claim 4 days. Still, at least costumes were more interesting to gain, and I'm speaking as someone who already had the DS9 uniform as a character-specific unlock.
Infinite possibilities have implications that could not be completely understood if you turned this entire universe into a giant supercomputer.
The next two days better be ships though or I sense the nerd rage that will commence.
Lol, nice one..
Honestly, guys, are you crazy?? u expected a ship just in the first day?? lol, unbelievable. I really was expecting something like this, a horta pet. And i like it, since i didnt have any combat pet. Now i have one. And free, i dont see the issue there.
But if u expect something great, like a ship, well, you should wait sit. I dont think cryptic feels so generous lol.

You do realize that you don't have to claim it, right? Perhaps you should not be so ungrateful and just accept that it may not have been what you wanted, then show some appreciation that Cryptic decided to do this at all.
This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.
We are excited to announce that today's FREE C-Store item is the Polytrinic Acid Horta Combat Pet! Read more for full details, including claiming instructions.
Ok, I'm a bit of a Horta fan. Won't want this taking up inventory space on every character, but certainly will want it on some. My boys might want it, too.
Thank you. Looking forward to tomorrow's giveaway.

For comparison, top quality, first class MMOs like War Thunder gave away high tier premium planes last time. I know, STO isnt and never will be a first of even a second class MMO.
Sadly, I already purchased this years ago (literally... back in July 2011). For the longest time it was a real waste, too, but you guys finally fixed the "device" so that Bridge Officers can use them (I think this was done with the LoR Expansion, IIRC).
Now all my characters have Away Teams loaded for bear with slotted combat hortas, and it's rather hilarious when they're spawned (not always at the "best" time, but still neat/fun).
Anyway, hopefully the next freebies don't include the Eisilum Crystal Horta, cuz I already got that one too. LOL
:P

Last time they did this, they gave away some cool stuff. Costumes and ships. This is only day 1. You don't expect the best right I hope.

*shakes head sadly and wanders off to play with my new free thing, that I didn't have to pay, grind, play or ask for"
Only gripe i have it is a bit toxic for the petting zoo..

I wish we could get a permanent Dilithium Horta battle pet.

Simple solution? Don't claim it. Don't take the thing that Cryptic didn't have to give anyone at all.
Sadly, I already purchased this years ago (literally... back in July 2011). For the longest time it was a real waste, too, but you guys finally fixed the "device" so that Bridge Officers can use them (I think this was done with the LoR Expansion, IIRC).

Wonder what kind of space racial trait a Horta would have.
Either way, f*** yeah hortas!
Can I have your stuff?
