Hey Cryptic, I was just looking through my wardrobe for my characters, and I was disappointed to see that classic open-jacket uniform that Captain Picard wore on occasion to be locked on my account. that is, I have to buy the rest of the Open-Jacket uniforms. I also am a Collector's Edition owner.
While many may say "get over it. its just a few extra $s to solve your problem", I'd like to ask (maybe even beg) that the TNG and DS9 open jacket options be made available at no extra charge for us Collector's Ed. owners. I spent quite a bit of extra $ on that special edition back then, when the regular ones can be bought today for a mere 20$.
I also wanna say that the box still says "comes with TNG and DS9 special costumes" or something. Even though they may be open jacket style, they still fall under the classification as something Sisko or Picard would wear.
So... can we as Collector's Edition owners please get our free TNG + DS9 open jacket uniforms? you can keep the other ones. Ill pay real $ for em if I get desperate enough, but I really wanna be able to get the TNG/DS9s at no extra charge.
As a collector's edition owner myself, I'd like to keep the normal ones we got, and not replace them with the open jacket ones like you suggest. I much prefer those ones the majority of the time.
Also, we got what we expected when we bought it, there was nothing about the collector's that said we'd automatically get variations on the uniform that were created over a year later for free.

1st off, I did not say Trade them for the open jacket, I said we get both of them made available
2nd, I understand that Cryptic has every right to withhold them from us, but I am asking them to give them to us.
As for those who already bought it, well... to me, that says it all. you already got it, so, with all due respect, whats the fuss? If you didn't want to spend the money that dearly, I would say you should have waited/started a thread like this also.
Ill bet ur right. but I wanted to try. maybe since Cryptic says we may be able to earn some costumes in-game without A-Tokens, this could be a small hint towards that. It also, IMHO, would be a way to thank all of those dedicated Collector's Ed. owners.
Either way, I still luv STO. I just was hoping that the special edition would hold a bit more water than it does now :rolleyes:
I disagree with this idea. Retrospectively adding new CStore items to CE buyers is a bad idea because once it is done then it would need to be done for every new item surely to remain fair. Why only this uniform choice? etc
You paid extra for:
- Deluxe Packaging
- Deluxe Manual
- Communicator Badge
- Guest Passes
- Red Matter Capacitor
- Next Generation Uniform
- Deep Space Nine Uniform
Now arguably, you did get ALL items you paid for. But I respect that those uniforms were not exclusive iirc. I do not see the connection between that and new content created in the Cstore. If anything, any claim should only relate to the extra money you paid for something that was freely available iirc.

You got exactly what you paid for.
This is brand new content and as such does not fall under the terms/perks of the Collectors/Gold Edition.
In fact, these new jackets are entirely new items, 100% scratch built.
I have the Collector's Edition, the Digital Deluxe Edition, the GameStop, BestBuy and Target editions. Should I therefor get everything for free?
Just think about that.
:cool:
no u shouldn't. and I think u guys are missing the point. Im asking for the TNG and DS9 open uniforms simply because they fit along with the Collector's Ed. theme of outfits. Idk about the other special editions, but I know what came with the Collector's.
As iv also said, Cryptic has every right to say no, but IMHO, its worth asking.
1 last thing. Im not asking for every other outfit under the sun, let alone the other open-jacket outfits, im only asking for the TNG+DS9 versions.

While I agree that these could have been added to the previous TNG and DS9 packages (actually the TNG Film Open Jacket should have been added to the Free TNG Film uniforms that were not part of any package), I also have to say that it also makes sense that they made them part of the Open Jacket package.
I mean really, if they had made them part of those packages, wouldn't they have had to release the rest of the Open Jackets for free? I mean, they are Open Jacket versions of the Standard in-game uniforms that cost absolutely nothing. So, if they had made an exception for the TNG and DS9 Open Jackets, they probably would have had more of an outcry over the Standard Open Jacket uniforms.
Also, it's too late now. Others have already paid for it.
And remember, you got the TNG and DS9 updates (including newly textured uniforms and new, more accurate looking badges) for absolutely nothing.
The question becomes where does it end, should people that got the MU outfits also have gotten TOS uniforms? TWOK uniform was featured in TNG episodes so does that mean people that got TNG uni's should also have gotten TWOK at the same time? While yes it is a little offputting that these were not included in the original selection, at the same time, what about all the people who didn't buy the collectors edition of the game? You did just get an upgrade to the material skins for the uniforms 'for free' which makes them better then they were when you got them at launch. Having both the CE and bought the open jackets, I'm more frustrated over the fact that they left out the over jacket like picard wore occasionally with the grey undertunic. I honestly don't think that anyone really deserves anything retroactively 'for free' just because they bought a particular thing at a particular time.
I unerstand both the points being made, however it does seem a little unfair for those people not only who bouught pre orders but those who bought the ds9 costume packs - why not have for example if you bought the ds9 costume pack have the open jacket version available too and the same for those who bought the tng pack ect.... and then have another option for the open jackets if you use the standard costume sets.

Yay or Nay, thanks anyways Cryptic.
I also think mrtoken is pretty clear with regards to the expected reply from Cryptic.
End of line.

I agree with this. I am also a collector's edition owner, and a pre-order one at that.
Only my opinion but does seem a little more fair.
