"This is totally an error on our end and we apologize for the missing contact."
How about thinking about finding a way to get our romulans to their own doff instead of apologizing? 'More luck next year' is the worst possible solution. You don't test anything before bringing it live... fine. But at least finally start fixing your mess immediately instead of putting it on the endless list of outstanding bugs and giving a damn beyond that. :rolleyes:
Why bother when you can not acknowledge the issue until late on a friday, then say nobody has time to fix it before the event ends.
I think that at this point the only real way to get the DOff to the players that should be getting it (i.e. the Romulans) is to put it in the C-Store and block it off so that only Romulan characters can claim it.
So then next year, will any of the Romulus characters who got the allied DOFF this year be able to get the Romulan DOFF next year, or will they fall into the no allowed category because they already have the allied DOFF?
Wanted to jump in to reply to the missing Romulan DOff contact. Rojal is indeed missing from New Romulus Command, and while we have been able to identify how this oversight was missed, unfortunately we will not be able to patch it back into place before the event ends.
This is totally an error on our end and we apologize for the missing contact.
While it is small consolation, and does not make up for the error, Romulan players are still able to get their allied special DOffs.
Speak to Lt Ferra and Captain Jarol at Starfleet Academy to receive your very rare Exocomp DOff.
Speak to Lt S'stas and Captain Laroj at the Klingon Academy to receive your very rare Reman DOff.
We have identified the missing Rojal as a bug that has prevented him from spawning, and we do apologize to everyone.
Sorry everyone! Don't forget to grab your allies DOffs and participate as much as you would like in the Particle Scanning Event for random quality DOffs, so you don't completely miss out!
This is going on my new "never forget" list to make sure the next time this event runs that everything is going according to plan.

Jarol, Laroj, and Rojal are anagrams. To lazy to create new names for them so all you did was switch around the letters. lol. You guys are funny. :P

Soo.... when will Romulans be able to get the doff?

Why can't you patch Monday and extend the event by a day? Cryptic has extended events before.

The problem is known since the second the event started.
I hate to think that they really waited that long so that they can now say "it's too late to patch it. Good luck next time.".
So, that's it? "We're sorry, not only did we mess up by not noticing the bug first, not only did we ignore the multiple reports in tickets and post on the forums, not only did we wait right before the week-end to aknowledge this, but we also won't fix our mistake until next time instead of giving you a quick patch and a couple more days so you can get what you were supposed to have. Isn't that wonderful? "

Thanks for confirming we're not all blind. Though I do feel a bit let down that you guys don't plan on fixing this and extending the event.
Join date is wrong, I've actually been around since STO Beta.
True alters don't have a "main". Account wide unlocks for all unique event rewards!!

Well that's cool I guess but a lot of Romulan Players like to keep their doffs as Romulan as possible, which I can say is no easy task if you want a quality crew with rares and very rares. We had been promised Romulan doffs shortly after LoR came out and nearly all the instances so far have been doffs you have to shell out ec/zen/dilithium for, no asylum missions, no officer exchanges, can't even get Romulan colonists! Oh sure there's the console at the command center but those doffs are usually only good for fleet project fodder. So it WAS nice to see we'd be getting a quality Romulan doff for FREE shockingly... but of course we'll have to wait probably a year before we can get it and hopefully by then the Romulans will have an academy of their own.
I guess we can rename this weekend the Federation/Klingon Empire Duty Officer Appreciation Weekend* *As long as you're a FED or KDF... Romulans go home and play with your epohhs, you aren't welcomed

You have failed me for the last time, Captain Smirk.
Keep in mind forum folks, I don't work in coding, I work in Community. I can't go get into the guts of the game and turn things on or off at will (as much as I wish I could cuz god my life here would be easier).
All I can do is act as a communication hub between you and the game devs.
I wanted to make sure we identified the problem before posting anything that might have not been the proper explanation, and I have double and tripple checked that this could not be solved before events end.
Sadly it is not in my power to force the event to run longer, or to force a fix.
I don't like the idea of "having to wait until next time either" cuz who knows how long that will be. Hopefully we can figure out a solution to this, because I would much rather see this fixed and every deserving Romulan/Reman player out there get the DOff they deserve.
If I can help make that happen, I promise you I will put every effort into doing so. If not, than all I can do is say how sorry I am to hear that, both as an employee, but also as a player who didn't get the DOffs for my Fed allied Reman or my KDF allied Liberated Borg Romulan.
I will see what can be done come Monday, and believe me, I am pulling for you all to get your reward, because it is on us to fix this. It should not be on the players to miss out on what they were promised.
Until next time everyone, have a good weekend, and try to make the most out of the event while it is active.
Couldn't he just be added as a free c-store claim for romulan faction for the duration of the event ? it would at least be a temporary fix and it can't be that difficult to dump something into the c-store.
Another option of course would be to just mail him to any romulan character that logs in or has during the event.

Tell me why you don't have a lobi statue in the SF Academy, again? Because, by Q, you deserve it near the bacon statue of Trendy and the cereal statue of Bran, which are infuriately still not getting built.

Eh, Most of us realize you are just the messenger. No hard feelings, Trev. I will send some Easter chocolate to Cryptic for you and Bran!
No, I am not who you think I am. I am someone different. I am instead a banana.

Well off i go to get allied doffs.
Thank you for official response.
Lifetime no longer gives a forum title. That should be updated on the Lifetime page that mentions what you get. PMing the CSR doesn't work neither.

Until you fixed it.
Jarol, Laroj, and Rojal are anagrams. To lazy to create new names for them so all you did was switch around the letters. lol. You guys are funny. :P
That is your biggest complaint about the whole affair, yes?

...that awkward moment when you call down an orbital strike on Starfleet Academy to assist you with a holo-combat.
But here's my frequency, so hail me maybe?

...
Isn't that a bit excessive?!
Why yes, I suppose it is. Especially if you have the trait that allows the strike to follow the target...
