Dust to Dust Mission Kobali Uniform Reward Bug - Recommended Work Around PLEASE READ

pwecaptainsmirkpwecaptainsmirk Member Posts: 1,167 Arc User
edited February 2015 in Galactic News Network [PC]
When collecting your rewards from Dust to Dust for the first time, IF you want the Kobali uniform, please select the Kobali uniform as your choice for rewards on the first turn, NOT the weapon/beam array.

We have identified a bug in the reward collection that will block the uniform from re-appearing if you choose the Beam Array on the first run thru.

We are working to get a permanent fix in place for this, but it will not be fixed with tonight's secondary maintenance, so I strongly advise any players who want the uniform to select it as a reward the first time you play through the mission.

You can get the Beam Array the second time, without a problem.

Look for this fix in next week's maintenance.

Thank you for your time everyone, and enjoy the Anniversary Event!

    When selecting the uniform, does it automatically go in the list of uniforms in the Tailor or in a crate to open? I haven't noticed it in my inventory but haven't been to the Tailor yet to see if it's there.

    I saw a dialogue message show it and a flash of an item in my inventory so one can assume it is automatic.

    Fortunately, the outfit is a much more tempting reward then a beam array.
    I would assume most players took the outfit first time through.

    Thanks for the heads up though.

    I won't say "u fuqed up cryptic" because the uniform is great!

    Seriously, I loved this episode. Esp. all those free stuff.

    However, the time gate on the sets is just a big no-no

    Next question. Can you complete the mission a 2nd time, but not turn it in...and wait until the first set piece is unlocked? Will a person then be able to turn in the mission and obtain the set piece?

    Unaware of this bug, I was one of those who picked the beam array first (was an upgrade for me), figuring I'd just be able to get the uniform on the next pass. :o

    Noticed it wasn't available as a reward, so on an alt I was sure to pick the uniform first!

    Next week? smh

    A looooot of people are getting hosed by this. I find it odd that Cryptic can fix something like Japori or the post-spec tree dilith rewards in a split second but they'll let something that is a pretty nice feature go unchecked for 7 more days, knowing full well most people will be running the mission in the next few days. let's just hope most of them don't pick that really, really junky polaron beam.

    There's no Belt option for females of any species; and no option for the Kobali hip guards, or whatever the name for them is.

    Post removed. Turns out, the Kobali armor has to be chosen via dropdown menu.

    Would recommend making these options usable with the plain uniforms so you can mix and match.

    You would be surprised how many messages I got from players who choose the beam Array and panicked when the uniform was gone...

    Heads up on that, when each date hits, that item will forever be available as a reward from the mission.

    I know that is probly not what you dislike about it, but just throwing this info out there too

    Yay for permanent Set Piece reward. Also, just wanted to say, the mission is fun even with the Electric pathway, maze and floor area.

    I want ALL the uniforms to be a mix and match with EVERYTHING. It would be awesome to combine Kobali with Omega and Voth uniforms together. That would open up even more awesome looking captains.

    That's confusing. I didn't even notice that option because some of the Kobali uniform parts show up in the standard uniform menus so I just assumed a lot of parts were missing which was disappointing. Still not sure why they keep adding things to separate menus instead of making them mix and match.

    There is a Kobali in the 'maze' section of the mission. Somewhere top right, if you speak to her (before exiting the maze) she offers to join your crew.

    She showed up on the mini map as an information symbol for me, so pretty easy to just head for that.

    Not always top right. I've seen her in the center left as well.

    Interestingly, her clothing and name are editable... and if you're Federation you can even put her in a standard Starfleet uniform. Hello, Ensign Ballard. (She's even the right profession!)
    I heard that works for NON-feds too.

    And now, can you tell us what to do to have her using the KDF/Rom uniforms when we are not fed ? Having a BOFF roaming my scimitar/Vo'quv in an odyssey uniform is a bit weird, unless the kobali joined the federation.

    I really, really hope that your PR department got the smarts to not state "players love the new episode, all of them played them at least four times!" at some point in the future considering this new way of timegating rewards ;)

    Thanks for the heads-up, though. Like others pointed out, it is beyond me how something like this is left unchecked when other parts (won't mention them) get fixed in hours. But thank you anyway :)
