    It's back! Nice!
    I still have the practice schematic from the old crafting tutorial on Memory Alpha when it was bugged back in season 6 in my inventory. No option to discard it. I'd be glad if I could get rid of this Practice schematic before either the game or myself cease to exist. Thank you for your time.

    I cannot remember the last run of the Featured Episodes.

    This is always a good offering by Cryptic that helps new players, or players that previously missed out, in acquiring these items.

    It doesn't even take anything away from players that have already completed & earned.

    Nicely done, Cryptic, now back to work on your re-engineered gambling slot machine.

    Still haven't figured out how to award Lobi per Account per day?

    Still no 'Dust to Dust' included so that the Kobali Uniform can be unlocked.

    The listing of Episodes in the Story Arc is pretty much meaningless since there is no Lobi award for running any one of them per day. The only important point at this stage is the Featured Episodes that actually awards the special Unique rewards. Since the reward is Unique, meaning you can only earn it once for a Character (or again if you disposed of it), and there is no other reward (Lobi), just put these Unique rewards back into the Featured Episode for normal play.

    I was afraid the reruns would never return. I'm glad my newest characters can now enjoy those rewards!
    LTS Since Beta (Jan 2010).

    So I guess this means that the idea of having the rewards be permanently added has just been stepped on and thrown out the airlock?

    no lobi per day... only the 2 devices are worth getting for new toons, well breen do if you want torp spread 3, but you can make your own now a days....
  • burstorionburstorion Member Posts: 1,750 Arc User
    Bleh, none of the good stuff like the kobali armor uniform... I'd be intrested if they were added (heck, even the ambassador retro if you want to go crazy)

    This is nice, especially for new players, but what I would like to see return are opportunities at other limited time rewards.

    Things like the Support Cruiser Retrofit from Temporal Ambassador and other such limited-time ships (even if just as part of an annual thing and the player can only grind enough currency to unlock a single such ship each year, so it would take a brand new player a long time to catch up, but they could catch up).

    Also? A second chance at making (or better yet, being able to turn an existing officer into) a Delta Recruit or a Temporal Agent.

    Delta Recruit could only be unlocked by re-running the regular tutorial and Temporal Agent by re-running the AoY tutorial, so a character could only ever be one or the other, and existing characters would be limited accordingly, but it would be nice to see these opportunities reappear.

    Again I'll say that it was never about figuring out how to reward the daily Lobi, but figuring out how long they had to wait until enough people were clamoring for just the special rewards that they could rerun it without the Lobi and not cause a significant uproar. Reading it as not knowing how to do something that was clearly already done is borderline slanderous.

    It is about time to either put the Kobali outfit back into Dust to Dust permanently or add the mission with that reward to this rerun event.
    This is an MMO, not a Star Trek episode simulator. That would make for a terrible game.

    When will we see it on Consoles too? We never had a chance at these since the game got ported.

    Edit: I guess "(and soon console)" answers my question, lol. :)

    I'm not going to play every episode to get one item. Some of them pretty annoying and long.
  • ltminnsltminns Member Posts: 12,572 Arc User
    You don't have to play them all just the four specific Episodes that have the Unique reward.

    'Night of the Comet'
    'Cutting the Cord'
    'Boldly they Road'
    'Cold Storage'

    Be aware that the Yesterday's War Arc will block access to the Breen Arc.

    'Slanderous'? They originally stated (for the last Featured Episode Rerun Event) that the Developer who did this Lobi award had left Cryptic. After that, it became pretty clear that they knew how to do it (see Weekend Vouchers, Phoenix Prize Pack Event, Endeavor System). They just didn't want to give the Lobi out.

    The last time this ran was June/July 2016, just before and during the start of 'Agents of Yesterday'.

    It's back! Nice!

    Indeed
    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.

    Awesome! My Temporal Agent thanks you.

    To think, I asked about Featured Episode Reruns in last week's livestream.... ;)
  • echattyechatty Member Posts: 5,917 Arc User
    Well, I'll have to give it a try on Jhanell. Maybe I can at least get the cane. I think she's done those eps already. Maybe just one try a day so I don't risk the game freezing.
    Now a LTS and loving it.
    Just because you spend money on this game, it does not entitle you to be a jerk if things don't go your way.
    I have come to the conclusion that I have a memory like Etch-A-Sketch. I shake my head and forget everything. :D

    The shape of the blade and hilt looks like a Tsunkatse Falchion, but I don't know how to make the blade glow blue like that.

    That would have really been nice. Both of those always seem to be overlooked with these episode replays.

    You have to play it twice right? In other words it actually has to be a replay for the character?

    Here's hoping that they unveil a mute coms option in the "kurland here" episode.

    The shape of the blade looks wrong to be the shard sword:

    There totally needs to be a, "SHUT UP, WESLEY... I mean, KURLAND!" button for that.
