    > Limited time phrase suggests that they won't be there long. Which was accurate because they sold out all the redeemable codes. It never suggested that the codes themselves would be infinite.


    It clearly says the campaign itself will last untill october 15th, the only thing they might have suggested is the the 100%* part at the beginning of the article: "You can head to the Groupees site right now and purchase an exclusive Star Trek Online Bundle on PC - with 100% of proceeds* going to the Foundation."

    "This campaign begins today, October 15th, and runs for a limited time, so don’t miss this opportunity!
    *Perfect World Entertainment will donate 85% of all gross sales of product sold, up to a maximum donation of $75,000."

    Link to the article: https://arcgames.com/en/games/star-trek-online/news/detail/11267723-join-the-fight-against-breast-cancer%21

    It says it begins. Not that it will last for the entire day. That is you clearly assuming that it will.

    I wasn't able to play for a few days. I would've loved to get one of those bundles. But no. Limited Time and limited amount. Why? Is your database somehow limited to generate codes or what? This is dumb. I will support the charity anyways but I hate not to be able to get the offer. This is so unfair. Oh well guess I jus buy a bundle code off ebay when they pop up for 99$ from some RL Ferengi that trys to profit of cancer. Because that is what happens with this kind of promotions. codes end up on ebay and feed the wallets of... people with no decency or conscience. I'm really disappointed once more PW.

    You can easily get the ships for less than $99.00 with a ship sale. The ship themselves aren't a rarity except the pink vanity shield, badge, tribble and pet.

    It was a much cheaper deal but the ships themselves can be obtained. People are complaining like they lost out of rare super unique items like it was the Vizier Command Assault Cruiser Promotion. I missed out on all the Mirror Universe unique rewards including Mirror Universe Guardian Cruiser etc. It happens and it isn't a injustice that you didn't get them, only that you were really unlucky.

    There was no indication in the news page that It was limited packs, just limited time untill october 15th. Dissapointed

    groupees website says the ships are limited to not just time... there was a counter for available units left. the vanity pack is unlimited.

    Ya, I missed that part. I thought those were all promoships and rushed to conclusions. I'm still salty as hell though. But my point remains. I (and I'm well aware that I might be on the minority and completely false here) feel like the promos or things like the golden d'kora were handled pretty unfair. But that is just my opinion and next time I might even think first before I make a complete moron outta myself.

    Yeah, Sadly cancer is still a disease which most of us in the western world will encounter ourselves or through family or friends.

    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.

    Well, i just bought the 10$ bundle and the ships (T6 Shran Light Pilot Escort for example) are still locked in the ZEN store, i could only claim the Pink Vanity Pack with my characters...

    The $10 bundle has been sold out since 730pm last night so you donated $10 for the tier 1 bundle.

    "Limited" and "Sold out" are the reasons I can no longer Donate anything Sponsored by Cryptic. Limiting bundles is something Cryptic needs to reconsider. Before I even hear about this comment from the community, I didn't get the message for this partnered donation until now. Thanks for nothing Cryptic.

    I just went to the Goupees site and it appears there are now more of the $5 ship bundles, 2824 as of me writing this. I was planning on getting a couple of the $1 codes since the ships were gone, one for my main account and one a secondary. But now I may have to get those since it is for a good cause.

    When i made my donation the tier 2 bundle was still available with over 2000 on the groupee counter, so i should have gotten the vanity and the ship pack codes without any problem, but i didn't.

    I contacted the groupee support, and now received the code for the ship pack and could claim them in game as advertised, which is great, but i'm really going to think twice about participating in any other STO promotion from now on.

    Besides, as mentioned before, some players still got the whole 10$ bundle while it was showing as sold out on the groupee web page, while others had to contact the support to even get the 5$ bundle while that was showing a sufficient amount of bundles left, and that's just messed up...
    I do believe in killing the messenger...
    Want to know why?
    Because it sends a message!

    If I buy any of the packages with the ships, it will make the bundles they come in unavailable. Am I correct on this?

    So this is a really really great thing you're doing, but next time, please make the higher tiers unlimited, or at least make more keys and stagger the releases so that everyone gets a chance at getting it. Some of us have jobs and had absolutely zero opportunity to grab anything aside from the basic bundle.

    It couldn't hurt the charity to get more money, right?

    Yes it is Cryptic fault its just like the old flash sales where depending on what timezone you are active in it was impossible to take part and buy the larger pack or take part in the old style flash sale. Which in turn reduced how much is donated.

    I do like these events but they could be handled a little better which would in turn increase donations.

    Is sad that 10$ ones is that limited because we due difference of time zone good number of us miss offer.
    5$ bundle come back Today, I would like that also cryptic change his mind and put back biggest bundle.
    I give 10$ just in case that biggest bundle been back (if maybe cryptic change his mind)

    I ordered one for myself, $10 bundle, and one for my girlfriend yesterday afternoon. I ordered hers first and there was 238 bundles left when I ordered hers and I ordered mine directly after. She didn't get the T6 Europa code but I did. Contacting their support has not gotten any response so far. This is definitely disappointing! I get that the money is for charity and that is all good, but not delivering what was promised for donation. The ship list is there, but there is no code for that particular ship, which grants two ships.

    After donating, how do you download the items you have?

    If you have claimed the codes you received from the Groupees My Purchases page through the PWE redeem page, then you will find some items under the Promotions Tab. The ships will appear under Ships once claimed from the Promotions tab.

    I got the same...the code for T6 Europa is missing, my guess is that you need to claim it when its still available and if you dont ...your screwed...

    Great idea, hopped over to donate, then learned for some reason a charity fund raiser put limited quantities on virtual goods. And the good stuff was gone of course. lol... I think someone forgot the real reason was to raise money, not pretend it's just another zen promotion. Ah well.

    So I shrugged, left Groupees and went straight to the actual charity site. Thank you for the reminder it wasa almost time for my usual twice yearly donation.

    You can still get the Tier 2. There are 1900 codes left, all this self-pity about getting store ships that literally can be gained in-game for free is really starting to get ridiculous. I hate to see what users would groan about if it were exclusive ships like the Pop Culture Hero Coalition charity. Oh nm, they probably complained there too.

    I entered the code in that Code Redemption page and it just said "Please input a valid code." Looks like I got screwed.

    Enter the code without the date on the end.
    It should be something like eRTYGDDeq after you remove the date stamp.

    Yep. That was the thing. But I have to say, Arc support helped me out quickly. I was impressed.

    But you treated it like it was just a promotion?? :hushed:

    And limited quantity is a normal thing for these kind of charity promotions. I guess it encourages people to donate quickly, and keeps people on their toes to donate the next time something comes around.

    Besides, the only things that really matter (the ribbon and the shield) are unlimited. Just like ribbons in real life, you get to wear it to show solidarity/support.

    That doesn't sound like a very fair practice if that is the case. Not that their support has bothered to respond. I have the receipt which states the time it was complete, which was well before they were sold out. If they don't respond, I will not be donating anything through Groupees again.

    Yeah, Sadly cancer is still a disease which most of us in the western world will encounter ourselves or through family or friends.

    I myself have lost three family members to cancer, including one of my grandmothers, whom I never met because it took her before I was born.
    So I'm hoping one day they find a prevention or cure that works and that's why I support causes like this.

    In all seriousness, I imagine cancer is one of the diseases Trek Technology eliminated with their advances in medicine.
    You certainly never hear it referenced in any of the series.
    So that villian was defeated long ago if this is the case.
