    THANK YOU! My F2P acct has very few costume options so she grabbed them all. And my lifer acct grabbed the Intel, Merc and Talaxian.

    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

    That's really generous. The only one I was missing was the Talaxian one.

    Any chance the Klingons could finally get their hands on the account unlocked T5 Kamarag like the Feds did with the T5 Ambassador years ago?

    As for the freebies today, thanks much!

    Very cool. I already bought them before, but it's awesome other folks get a chance to get them, so I say good move, yo. :)

    The Talaxian one is the only one I don't have so at least I got something new.
    I stream on Twitch, look for Avoozl_

    I generally don't buy costumes as I have other things I need more, so this was a great giveaway for me. I already had the formal from a previous giveaway on my lifer acct, but my freebie acct has little, and none of them, so she got all four and is very grateful for them.

    My lifer thanks you too, I been eyeing that intel costume for a long time, actually, thank you for adding it to the giveaway.
    Now a LTS and loving it.

    Will this be coming to the consoles?

    Thumbs up
    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 hope it does for console users. Kael?

    I hope my new PSU gets delivered today ... STO currently won't load at all (a problem also affecting all other games from the past decade as well), and extensive troubleshooting only really points to the PSU. Would really like to grab the Merc uniform.

    I gotta stop buying things. Cause every damn gift time comes and I already paid for it!
  • frtoasterfrtoaster Member Posts: 3,354 Arc User
    Looking at the "Appearance" tab of the C-Store today made me realize how few C-Store costumes the Klingons have. Even the Romulans have more. The only C-Store costume specific to the Klingons is the Klingon Academy Uniform. The rest are all cross-faction.
    Waiting for a programmer ...

    Well, delivery of my new power supply got delayed until tomorrow, but luckily I was able to get in with a bizarre work around I noticed when testing other games. For some reason, if I try to load up a game without any graphics drivers installed my system stays somewhat stable (though I wouldn't call the result 'playable', lol). Hopefully I'm able to grab tomorrow's giveaway without such workarounds.

    Meanwhile, I never pay for appearance stuff, and get all the freebies. Since the intelligence and formal sets have been given several times in the past, I got two new freebies.

    sometimes you have to swap zones to make new costumes appear, at least that's how it is on the PC version, I dunno what version you're using.

    Cryptic is getting a surprise jump on this years anniversary. All four costumes for free? On one day? Nice.

    Four costumes free at once is a very surprising amount of stuff given away in one day, not to mention the fact that this year's goes on for 8 days instead of just 5. It's very exciting.

    And who knows, maybe the ship giveaway will be something interesting too (It's obviously not gonna happen, but it would be pretty cool to get them T5 Flagships you know~)

    Thank you very much.
  • echattyechatty Member Posts: 5,918 Arc User
    Some of the costumes might be under off duty instead of uniform. And some are tied to how loose or tight they are. Tight upper, tight pants, etc.

    They said on FB that consoles will get the items too. Just that because the way they add content makes it a slight delay. So what will probably happen, it will be the costumes in a few days. But consoles should get the same things. And this announcement for PC will let consoles know what's coming the following days too. PC has to come back each day to find out.

    Patience.

    If you haven't done so already maybe change your category to Off-duty for the Mercenary and Talaxian, to Formal for the Formal outfit. Intelligence should be in the Uniform category, though.

    And btw, thanks, Cryptic, a very impressive start into the giveaway.

    Edit:
    Notice to myself: read before you post.
    There it was a long just a few posts further down:

    Reply from the FB page ..... Star Trek Online Console Captains: All releases, including most of our giveaways and the anniversary content, comes to you guys on a delay due to the process of adding content to consoles. Hang tight. :)

    Thanks Cryptic for the giveaway costumes. I missed the merc uniform, which I believe might unlock certain items that kitbash.

    Off topic: be careful with faulty power supplies, they can destroy random components, which can then feed back and destroy a future PSU. Keeping PC off till new one arrives would be safest option.

    Had 2 of the outfits already, so I guess I'm half as grateful as other people. Thanks, though.
