    Does the armor have an appearance you can turn on/off?
  • sharpie65sharpie65 Member Posts: 679 Arc User
    It's probably going to be like the Romulan Navy Armour from that mission with Sela against the Bluegill-infected VanZyl and Iconians..so I would say no.

    From the blog:
    Every player who completes the featured episode during the first week will be rewarded with President Okeg’s Elegant Jacket costume...
    (*Emphasis added)

    Trendy, does this mean that the jacket prize is awarded account-wide, or should the blog be changed to read that "Every character who completes the featured episode..."

    And if, as I fear, it's a per-character unlock, will it stay around indefinitely as a possible reward, or do we only have this first week to claim it on all our toons before it goes away?


    P.S. Unrelated question: It's been a while since I've posted in the forum, and I've noticed that my avatar picture has gone native, and I can't seem to fine the place to change it. Can some one please link me where I customize my avatar picture... and signature, for that matter?

    I would like to know this too.. normaly each week would unlock an additional reward and give a weekly reward box, but as i read it now, it gives the impression that the jacket will no longer be rewarded after this week. Is this the case? And if yes, is it sufficient for one character to do the mission, or does it have to be unlocked per character? :/

    I'd say it's the same as the Kobali armour. Per-character unlock, one week limit. If you want a character to have it create it now/claim it now because afterwards it'll be gone.​​

    It could be like the Iconian Vest - it got to stick around after the Featured Episode period for "Midnight" (still wish it could be used as a uniform/BOff option...).

    But, yeah, more information on the Elegant Jacket, please, Trendy?

    Well, after running the new mission yesterday and unlocking the new jacket, I hopped over to another character in the hope that it would be an account unlock.

    As I expected, it was not an account unlock. Which means that yes, if you want the jacket on all of your characters, prepare yourself for mind-numbing tedium running that mission over and over and over and over and over and...

    Sorry, I ran it once and and that's it. At least for this week. I won't pad your metrics by burning myself out running this blasted (buggy*) mission for each of my characters. Not going to happen.

    Nice jacket, would have been nice to have access to it on other and FUTURE characters.

    Oh well.

  • lordhavelocklordhavelock Member Posts: 2,248 Arc User
    Ok, thanks iamynaught. I figured it wasn't account wide, but I appreciate the confirmation.

    Still would like to know if the costume is going to be around beyond this week. Sadly, with the skill revamp nuking all my toons, I don't have time to rebuild all my alts *AND* run through the mission on all them.

    Sigh.

    Yeah really, even a basic bare-bones build is time consuming, and doing that on everyone? ouch....

    Daily patches are getting more than a little tedious, even if it means free stuff.

    You can't patch once, and have stuff phase in and out in the exchange promotions?
  • markhawkmanmarkhawkman Member Posts: 35,236 Arc User
    I'm pretty sure the patches have nothing to do with the freebies... day 1 was Monday and Monday had no patch.

    This answer belonged in another topic.

    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.

    I kinda hope the jacket will stay a reward (for first run throught on a character) as long as the episode is featured. I definitely won't have time to run all my chars thought it this first week.

    If not, well, it's just a jacket, not a full costume.
    TOIVA, Toi Vaxx, Toia Vix, Toveg, T'vritha, To Vrax: Bring in the Allegiance class.
    Toi'Va, Ti'vath, Toivia, Ty'Vris, Tia Vex, Toi'Virth: Add Tier 6 KDF Carrier and Raider.
    Tae'Va, T'Vaya, To'Var, Tevra, T'Vira, To'Vrak: Give us Asylums for Romulans.

    Don't make ARC mandatory! Keep it optional only!

    It'll probably stay for as long as it's featured. What people really want to know is if it'll stay after that.

    Also, I think there are some new pants in there, too.

    Believe me it's nothing special.

    - offtopic, but huskerklg is right. It was idiotic to put a patch during a giveaway. And I wish people would stop trying to ignore it like it never happened or isn't an issue. It's like holding a art exhibition and saying it will open for two days. And then deciding to close the building on the following day. It's a massive slap to the face.

    I hope that a patch will be done for thursday. this mission is enough boring like that, no need to keep it bugged.

    reminder: Impossible to kill the reinforcements. they don't appear. i tried again 3 times. it is enough for me.

    just a tip: maybe you could try your missions before their release. that would be awesome. thx

    Shouldn't an Environmental Suit protect against volatile biotoxins or are volatile biotoxins partially acidic and meant to burn right through an Environmental Suit?

    enh, it's a game, it'd be boring if wearing armor made you immune to damage.

    I just wish cutscenes could be "escaped". Especially the one at the end where I can only watch my ship being torn apart by Na'kuhl, and not be able to do anything about it. :s​​

    Yeah, it's not EVERY time, just most of them when solo. It seems to be less of an issue with teams.

    thx for the minigun, but currently unusable with the bug linked to the kit powers.
