Screwed out of 900+ 2015 Qmendations :(

in Star Trek Online General Discussion
I had 960 Qmendations from the 2015 anniversary event (yes, I was one day away from completing it last year). Anyway, I kept the Qmendations in my bank and the project slotted so that I could complete it this year after today's patch that would allow us to use the 6th anniversary vouchers on last year's project.

Then I get in-game after the patch and lo and behold, Cryptic has changed the old project to no longer allow the Qmendations to be turned in. So now I've got over 900 Qmendations sitting uselessly in the bank, and I can't possibly finish last year's project in addition to this year's project because it's impossible to earn 2000 vouchers during the 2016 anniversary event.

Sigh...

    Do you have a second character?

    That's what I'm doing.

    Why didn't you put them into the project at some point over the last year?

    Good point, I didn't even think of that. Of course, I've already dumped my initial 400 vouchers into the 2016 ship...LOL. /facepalm

    I've always kept my currencies until I have enough to finish the project all at once. Has worked just fine for 5+ years...right up until now.

    2 characters. I did the 2014-15 Winter event on 3 characters to get all 3 Breen ships. Close to 100 ice races. "Kids today have it easy . . . " (shakes cane)

    Also, 960 qms = 64 Salvaged Tech and around 200 VR mats of your choice when you go to the buyback store. Use them or sell them. If you choose to sell them I'd wait awhile for the supply to go down.

    Another reason for keeping them in inventory until there's enough to finish is that sometimes the process of adding those things into the project is broken for a while, causing contributed vouchers/etc. to disappear.

    If I were you, I would submit a ticket to ask that you be allowed to contribute Qmendations and 2016 vouchers for last year's slotted project even though the current contributed amount is 0, as that's a silly technicality. It shouldn't matter than you didn't move them to another bucket when you had no indication that not only did you have to have the project slotted but (apparently) you had to have at least one thing in that other bucket to lock in its validity.

    I'm in the process of creating a ticket right now. I had actually contributed 2 Qmendations to the project before today, plus another 40 vouchers after completing today's daily, so I currently have 42 in there. I'd just like to use my remaining 958 Qmendations to finish the project...we'll see what the GMs say.

    In the mean time I would save the vouchers your currently earning and start running the mission on a second character just in case.

    You should be able to get the 400 vouchers from the new featured episode once per character during the event. So there's plenty of time to do it. :) So work on the old ship with 1 character and the new ship on another.

    If you already did the FE with the character that has the old ship slotted and you put the vouchers into the new ship, you're out of luck. Without those 400 vouchers there isn't enough time to get 1,000 during the event at 40 a day.

    It would also raise a question as to why you were able to slot the new ship while having an old ship already slotted. We weren't able to slot 2 special event projects like that in the past.

    Actually, there is enough time to do the event if he does it from today or tomorrow onwards.

    Yeah I have enough time to get it done from scratch, just barely. I'm still waiting for a response on my ticket though...ideally I wouldn't have to bother with an alt.

    (Incidentally, after submitting my ticket I don't see it showing up under "View My Tickets" for some reason.)

    Try posting a thread in the bug forums as well.

    Tickets don't show up in-game since PWE took over. I still have an active Atari/Cryptic ticket under "view my tickets" which is "in progress" for 1500+ days pig-2.gif But PWE tickets don't show up.​​

    Bad move doing that. As the old saying goes you learn from your mistakes and frankly you have only yourself to blame guy.

    I do it as well. It saves you from acidentally cancelling the project and losing everything.

    On the other hoof, there were multiple announcements and hints that old qmendations would not be able to be slotted in either project once the event starts, so filling the project with qmendations should have happened after the winter event as it was a preview for what will happen.​​
