    Looks like the Germans got a heads up once again:

    Large bonus marks pack and again only claimable on a single character.
    I'm actually having conversations about why publishing is no longer synchronized. It's not actually the German CM however, to be clear.

    As i understand the German head start is not a new issue, in fact something which has been ongoing for months now.​​
    Yeah. Publishing is a long and involved process that I've enjoyed being a part of. That being said, there's a lot of moving parts. One of those parts seems to not be working correctly, and that requires me talking to that.. part.

    You know this mark boost is disappointing. It is not like we didn't have a mark boost week, a week ago.

    Agree. /\

    It's free which is nice. But it's not exactly rocking my world.

    I do find the use of the word 'large' a bit of a stretch though. 100 marks? How many minutes to earn in game?

    But still it is a freebie. ;)

    Hmm, I'll admit, the Doff pack and marks pack aren't anything I'd get excited over...

    However, free is free, so you can't argue with that!

    And, the marks pack is 1/character, so in 20 minutes I effectively got 1200 Iconian marks! Woo Hoo! (much of that time was spent doffing and slotting fleet projects too, lol)

    Regardless, both are still nice gestures from Cryptic, so...

    Thank You Cryptic, for the free goodies! :)

    I think it's a question of convenience. At the time Trendy usually posts her blogs it's past office hours in Germany. So I guess whoever is their GM he or she makes his/her posts at the latest possible time which is about one hour before Trendy.

    Reminder anything that comes from Tribble and potentially story-related, pleeeease mark it with a [ s p o i l e r ] tag :3

    Thanks for today's freebie :smile:

    I can see the conversation going: bad part bad!!!

    Edit: As for the CM, i thought there was one for the major language groups like English, German, French and Spanish.

    Edit 2: Not counting Mandarin and Cantonese​​
    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.

    The marks will be nice. I know which ones to get. The Iconian ones since you have to do the same darn mission over and over to get them. Specially if you solo the Rep. That Rep is the worst one to do.

    More love for my Reman. She's close to finishing Iconian Rep, but that grind for the armor (which I will NOT display visuals on, thank you) was not one I was looking for. My other toons have better Rep gear, etc, but this will only be her second rep completed.

    Could have sworn there was a notice on the German version saying it was on a single character only. Maybe i was mistaken or perhaps it was a copy-paste from yesterday for which the info was corrected.​​

    Actually:
    The new Reputation is active on Tribble, and while it's got ground set, it includes:
    Shield, Armor, Weapon (a bathlet or rifle - may have both, but it's only 3-piece set)
    Nowhere i saw the double weapon (it's looks like some blades or something to me)

    The female on picture looks like Bajoran (or maybe Bajoran/something mix?)

    Free doffs! Never can have to many doffs. :) Or too many marks1 My KDF pirate Romulan could sure use some Iconian marks! Oh that rep grind is the worst. Anyway, I hope I can actually log in with this crummy connection to claim them.

    That will teach me. Be off on a wine tasting weekend while STO is giving away free stuff. My bad. (Oh, and no haggis with my wine, sorry :s )

    Thanks for the cool giveaways!

    Maybe I should be watching the German feed. It seems to have more info sooner. Hoverboards (had to search for the Doff promo ad after someone told me about it) and now a Boost, today... promotionally visible.

    Maybe by following the German board, I wouldn't have missed out on the Inventory slot giveaway -- which is MUCH more useful than this 1-character-only boost. I think that the Inventory slots should have been better promotionally announced than it was. I was slaving away in the Foundry (on what was apparently Day 1 of the New Dawn Giveaway) and the log window made no mention of a GIVEAWAY in its New Dawn banner text.

    The Notifications window pop-up (Bulletin Board) was completely empty (It even said that there was no news on the day that the New Dawn GIVEAWAYS were supposed to be happening, so SOMEONE dropped the ball on that). I had to hear from a passerby (the next day) that it was DAY 2 of giveaways for New Dawn. Of COURSE the info tab in the log window still has no info, and the Notifications remains blank. Not even any past release info is shown, like LoR, or Delta Rising, etc.

    When the launcher Engage button was readying to click after the patch, the old ads were showing. NOTHING about an Inventory giveaway. There needs to be a better in-game system for these announcements... AND a redo for those of us who in good faith are requesting a redo of the Inventory giveaway.

    Here's an idea, make it an account unlock item good for a limited number of characters per account during the giveaway days and only claimable if it was already claimed?

    Yes, I appreciate the doff box and the Hover board and even the single character only boost. But a minimal campaign on account wide Inventory slots? Come on!

    bonus marks pack are claimable on all characters, hope you see this B4 its too late.

    mind you I would not call 100 marks particularly large, but thanks anyway.

    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.

    You misunderstand. The marks are 50% larger than normal marks. They're worth the same, just bigger.

    American marks? Worth the same as regular marks, but twice the size?​​

    100 marks isn't a big deal, but as others have said...it's free! I loved the inventory space and the officer packs though.
