    I wish they let you buy what you want. I don't want all of those other prizes. I'd like the TOS bridge pack, but $35 seems expensive.

    I was going to give it a go, but after looking up their privacy policy it looks more like it will hoover up any personal information with no regard to how invasive it is, no way i can agree to those types of terms.

    I was hoping to give some money back to the charities and get some stuff.

    Been around since Dec 2010 on STO and bought LTS in Apr 2013 for STO.

    So $35 for the BOFF pack? Am I reading this correctly? The website does not have much explanation. You are expected donate 5$ or $35 and not much details?​​

    Not even Romulan aligned with Federation can use? Bummer!

    I had originally thought by my skimming the details was that you could donate $5 for 1 choice or $35 or more for the whole package. Another bummer.

    Nice of Cryptic still to help-out with stuff like this but since there's stipulations to it I probably won't spend the $35.

    I'll wait & see what other offerings are included too.

    It's more than a little deceptive to say "pay what you want". I am a regular Humble Bundle user/purchaser, and many bundles are exactly that. This is not.

    This is a special 100% to charity thing, whereas with other bundles you decide how much you want to go to charity, the devs, and humble itself. That makes this a very different animal, because what you're getting is basically an advent calendar of stuff released daily through this month, some of which isn't revealed yet. It is most certainly worth more than $35 if you are interested in the games available so far, but it's not in any way variable in what you can pay to get the officers pack. You pay $35 or you don't, period.

    You might want to look into Humble Bundle if you don't use it already, because some great deals can be had, but this is not the best example of how it normally works.

    $35 for me is far better value than the cost of going to a convention, so definitely jumped at this one.

    Still waiting to be able to use forum titles

    I am pretty sure that Rom Fed can use. Let me check on my Rom Fed toon tonight to see if you can claim the TOS Holo BO pack, I have it unlocked on my account.

    Ok, so, how does this work? If I pay, say $5, how do I get the code to get the bridge officers? Or are the bridge officers only available to those paying $35?

    The code is part of a much larger package for $35. You get all of those games under the $35 line. All of them. Even the ones that haven't been uncovered yet.

    Are these the same BOFFs as those found in the Temporal mega pack?

    No. These are the holographic bridge officers that were being given away at conventions around the time AoY released.

    So you need to pay $35 to get the code for STO? Nothing less than that will get you the code?

    It's part of a package full of other games, too. There's still several other games to come, as they are revealing a new game as part of the package through the 25th. It's actually a great deal and it's for charity. If the other games doen't interest you, you can always gift them to friends.

    That would be awesome if you could confirm yea or nay for the potential Federation aligned Romulans. Thanks tigeraries!
    Good on cryptic for helping raise money for charity I say.

    Absolutely! I don't think it's the best contribution Cryptic has done by far but at least Cryptic is participating.


    This is just 1 of multiple items/services being offered in this Humble Bundle package deal which is does seem to be for $35 not the pay-what-you-want & as already stated it is for charity so everyone should decide for themselves.

    Ya they had that great anti bullying event a couple years ago for chase masterson's charity.

    Yeah I jumped on that one fast. My MU themed toon still flies the Mirror Guardian from it.
    I think it was the Pop Heroes Coalition or something like that.​​

    Fed and AOY Fed Only. No Rom-Fed. Oversite maybe? Since Rom-Fed can recruit regular Fed BOs. /shrug

    Will I be able to pass on the stuff I don't want or do I just get the right to add stuff to my steam?

    There will be an option to send the codes as a gift to a friend via email. Even if you don't use that, there's nothing to stop you from copy-pasting the code to an email yourself and sending it to whoever you wish. Steam games don't get added to your account until you activate the code on your account.

    Okay, thanks
  • jdstories#7005 jdstories Member Posts: 10 Arc User
    So, I don't play the game via Steam (I just go through ARC), and I am wondering if I were to buy the bundle, does anyone know if I should easily be able to claim the TOS duty officer pack without difficulty? I am not clear on this, and would appreciate any insight. Thanks!
