Was going to ask this very same question.
Losing faith in humanity, one person at a time.
I would also like to know this.. we were told last year that it would be account wide.. it didn’t work, was reported and nothing else was said on Cryptic’s side.. has it actually been fixed? or is it going to be just like last year where only the character that claims the reward has the rocket?
Also, disappointing to see that this won’t count toward Event III for the Lobi/Promo/C-Store ships.
Reminds me of how Starbase 24 was the closest thing to a battlezone to have ever seen in this game.
Same. I asked this multiple ways last year and even opened a ticket on it. As far as I can tell, Cryptic never had a response to the issue.
I know you don't prefer to post that often.. that's fine.. but please can you check on this?
These were not account unlocked last year despite the fact that they were listed as such. Can you please find out if this has been fixed? It would be most appreicated.
Thank you for your time.
There are some among us that like to claim that TFOs like Synthwave are great because they include mechanics to rival any MMO boss fight. Just like the copy-paste job Peril Over Pavo has the challenging mechanic of split the team into three groups before vaping everything in sight.
Seriously though, this TFO is a joke. We just had it not long ago on Console, and I am not ashamed to admit that I AFK'ed the TRIBBLE out of that event grind.
Very frustrating.
Yeah. The complete silence on the issue last year and now is, for me, worse than if they'd just come out and say it still won't work as advertised. At least that way people know to claim it only on the character where they want it.
I mean, any player inclined to be driven off by problems that can't be fixed would have long since packed their bags anyway.
Yeah pretty much my friends list for the most part is a graveyard of people that packed their bags as of Season 6 and DR. However the current STO team is much better now than the ones in the past. They just need to do more of what they did with Hell with Honor and the part of Best Served Cold to the point where certain things do not require you to sit in one place all the time to interact or pressing F every 2 seconds.
I say that believing Cryptic doesn't place enough integrity into honest communication though so perhaps Cryptic is hoping like many of us that it is fixed & actually aren't sure so it is a wait, hope, & see approach.
I admire your optimism and wish I could share in it.
Hehe I stated that knowing very well I could be incorrect. :-)
So, either the box is bugged and the new badges weren't added or the patch notes are simply a copy/paste fail from last year's notes. Care to guess which one I'm leaning towards?
And with the likely scenario that the badge notes are a copy/paste fail, I hold out next to ZERO hope now that the Shuttle Holo and toy rocket are going to be account unlocks this year either.
Losing faith in humanity, one person at a time.
Like many other inaccurate STO things, I'm just assuming this is a copy/paste problem. There were no new badges that I've seen.
So yeah, I have no hope the account bound status of rewards has been fixed. Or will even be addressed in any way.
This bodes well for the account unlock actually working properly on PC.
They had a year to address it on PC, so I'll still avoid falling into the trap of hope. This is the first I've seen it acknowledged as an issue at all, though, so I'm happy to be wrong about it if I am.
You can reclaim the rocket and holo right now without even doing the event.
Wait. What? Really? Did that change in a recent patch?
Edit: Ok, yeah, I take it back. the reclaim is there now. I know it wasn't there a couple weeks ago when I was in to reclaim the flaming sword, so I guess it was patched and not in the notes.
Still strange that I missed any mention of it, but fixed is fixed. Credit for that even if it could have been better communicated, especially back when it was first a problem.
It's a very unique instance with more to do than, "go here and blow things up... OMG so much DPS!" There's a bit of strategy to which ships to prioritize saving. And having to be able to control our ships to place them in the rescue areas, or stay the right distance to the ships we're beaming to... or be super pro and move your ship toward the next rescue area right as you finish transporting the last bit of crew to the ship! Then you also have to make sure the ships get to the base okay, or take the time to free more support ships to do the defending.
I know a lot of people complain and hate on Synth Wave, but I'm thankful the developers made it. It's so much more enjoyable than what the YouTubers claim are the only two important space TFOs.
While I don't have the ultimate fondness in actually doing it I do think visually it is quite nice.
The audio ruined the TFO for me, and it's hard to want to play it because of that.
