    I was wondering when it's supposed to come along. :)

    I don't know about anyone else, but I've been having lots of problems with lag on the servers and load up problems for the launcher and arc. Even got denial of service with the log-in screen after I was disconnected from the game.

    I've been trying to install the game but it's patching so slow it's impossible... 7% after 2 hours... Smh...

    I have too many blue clone DOFFs, we need a DOFF mission where we can use "transporter surgery" to combine 3x identical DOFFS in ONE doff that is a slightly higher quality...

    This time isn't about the DOff, it's about the new zombie dance emote. We saw that it was coming this time when this was last available on Friday the 13th.
    This is an MMO, not a Star Trek episode simulator. That would make for a terrible game.

    Are there no videos of this new emote any where?

    Since nobody has unlocked it here yet, probably not.

    Edit: Found one from Neverwinter which is probably the one that we'll get, too. As I suspected, it's based on Thriller.

    I'm willing to bet it'll be the exact same emote that was released in CO earlier this month. I saw a video of it and it's the "Thriller" dance.

    Here's a link to the CO announcement containing a preview of that emote.

    Yup. And it's not just PW games.

    Is there an MJ anniversary I'm not aware of?

    Just a couple more of these and I'll be able to do the Hamlet performance with a full Dr. Sibak (clone) cast ;-)

    So... anyone know exactly how we unlock the emote yet?

    @ambassadorkael#6946 there is still no way to start the mission on PS4. The Hail in the calendar entry is still greyed out and no other way to start it. Was supposed to be available over 40 minutes ago.

    Blog says 6pm Pacific and PC and XBone already have access to it.

    OMFG....the ZOMBIE DANCE is sooooo frickin' awesome!!!! I had to stop in to say, "THANK YOU!!" It looks perfect for my Lethean. Two Thumbs Up!!

    Definitely spending the day tomorrow to collect this on all my characters...even the ones I don't play!

    Maybe the copyright on that dance ran out since it's popping up everywhere? :D

    Sometimes I think I play STO just to have something to complain about on the forums.

    Just run the Mission, it's automatically unlocked when you claim the Rewards.

    Added the zombie dance to my characters. Would have preferred an account unlock but perhaps for the next time.
    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.

    Cue the music...cue the emote. Engage!

    I would be glad to do so, if they ever enable it for PS4.

    Hearts and Minds on PS4 is being extended by twelve hours to make up for it not being there last night.

    Was fine for the past several hours until about 30 minutes ago.

    I have all 14 of my Characters parked at Donatu after running it between last night and this morning. The folks at the Vulcan Cabelas sure were busy selling all those Lirpas to our Mission Contacts. :)

    Hmph. Ran the mission. No emote. Sure, it says I unlocked the emote, but it ain't there.

    EDIT: nvm. Found it. It's called "Emote_Zombie_Name", apparently. I was foolishly looking for something more obvious, like "Dance_Zombie" or just "Zombie".

    That just goes to prove it was ripped hook, line, and sinker from another of their games.
