Getting Random Romulan Doffs ???

Happens mostly on old characters. Why? Some of my chars suddenly had white and green ones in the overflow as well...

    It's probably the doffs you should have earned while leveling up but never received. If the characters are really old, they might have leveled up at a time before these doffs were added to the level up rewards.

    It's like how I've gotten the Dyson reputation completion reward recently on several character who never did the dyson sphere missions that the reputation reward used to be tied to. Now you just need to finish the reputation not do the missions.

Also its only happening on old chars and I'm pretty sure they got everything in the past they were suppose to be getting. Because when the game was new for me I did care for those kind of rewards now days they end up on the back or delete because they aren't particular useful to me.

    Not agreeing with someone doesn't give you the right to be an TRIBBLE.

    Ci sono tre tipi di giocatori:
    - quelli a cui non va mai bene niente... e vanno sul forum a trollare;
    - quelli che sono talmente imbesuiti da credere a qualunque cosa i dev dicano, perfino che la luna è fatta di formaggio... e vanno sul forum a trollare;
    - quelli che credono a quello a cui è giusto credere, sono d'accordo con quello con cui è giusto essere d'accordo e sono critici con quello che non va;

    Ai giocatori dei primi due tipi, gratis in omaggio un bello specchio lucente su cui arrampicarsi. E una mazzata in testa per la loro poca intelligenza e compassione verso gli altri giocatori che non la pensano come loro.
    Agli appartenenti al terzo tipo, invece, dico grazie. Anche se non sempre si riesce a mantenere la calma, siete quelli per cui vale la pena incazzarsi.

    This is/was interesting since not all my characters received them but some did.

    I also found the "tweet" Kael had done to explain this glitch humorous, that's a way to roll with the punches.

    Haven't opened my pack yet. I'm afraid to. Has anybody opened theirs? What did you get? Were they all purple? Could you use them? Were they bound to character? Did anything awful happen?

    I remember the Pack was bound, probably character, sorry I don't remember about the 3 DOFFs.

    1 toon that got them they were all 3 Uncommon, another toon received all 3 Common, then some of my toons didn't receive any for some reason. Not seen a Rare or higher yet, but that's my Cryptic luck.

    Problem is, most romulan doffs can't be used by non-romulan characters for basically anything. They just take up space in your roster.

    You can sell them for EC or (once the bug is fixed) donate them to fleet projects.

    Thanks for being brave. I opened the pack on my 2255 recruit. Nothing awful happened.

    I got 3 random, unbound, uncommon or better Romulan boffs (mine were 3 greens).

    I tried to get my department heads to send them on assignment but the Romulans refuse to show up. It seems only my KDF boffs are shown in the selection UI for doff assignments.

    I'm sure they're all having a heated argument so will mail them to a Romulan toon.

    Why did we get this pack? Is this some sort of cryptic message from the devs?

    The fleet bug was fixed, but not sure that allows you to donate off faction.

    It used to work, I'd mail doffs to / from fed and KDF depending on which fleet needed them. Both fleets I'm have been grinding the colony for the last eleventy months so I haven't had a chance to test that in awhile.

    Seems like some Romulans don't agree with D'Tan's idea of reunification, we're beginning to see a second sundering.

    I haven't logged in a lot of characters over the past couple of days, but I got a pack on my KDF Recruit, so it's not limited to old characters.
    This is an MMO, not a Star Trek episode simulator. That would make for a terrible game.

    Yeah i mixed that up some of my old chars got some random doffs unpacked in the overflow bag. No idea why but I was able to delete them as quickly as they came.

    Yeah I accidentally got the Romulan DOFF pack on my KDF character. I will see if I can move it to my Romulan. Though my Discovery character still has not got their DOFFs and they are past level 11.

    I got 3 green randoms... They all went to my overflow, as my Disco KDF had a full roster... I did a do-see-do with them and mailed them to myself. Collected them on a Romulan toon who was not at maximum...

    could this be some sort of compensation for fleet doff donation glitch?
    fyi yes you can donate cross faction doffs to fleet projects

    I thought this was compensation for people not being able to get their DOFFS at level 11.

    It could be either one, or a combination of both. As usual Cryptic is not saying anything about it to clear up questions.
