    I've held off claiming, but that delays leveling Sulu. @Shan said she would let us know, but apparently whoever she reports to can't be bothered to get her a quick reply.

    I claimed Demora, and she is Level 70. Just claim before you pass 8,500..............

    Good plan, but I was way past that when I thought about it.

    I thought about that, checked after one skirmish, meant to go back after one more battle, and finished the skirmish before I remembered that I forgot to go back. Too late now.

    D'OH!!

    We did some testing on our end and tickets claimed before the start of the Expedition phase should be available once the phase starts.

    We will of course keep an eye on this at the phase change.

    Thanx for checking for us!!!!!!

  • they'll add on top of your 3 free ones ... 99% sure.

    First off, I'm pretty sure we get 6 per day, not 3. Secondly, I am not feeling comfortable enough that the mechanic which deletes unused tickets does not trip when the daily allotment is given. So I guess I will just hold on to them till second half of the event. Better safe than sorry

    This ain't my first rodeo ;)

    Which I thought of, but I could swear that I had just read on the wiki that it was 6. I guess my old age is really kicking my memory down the river.

    The paranoid in me latched onto "should be" in your previous post, and is not claiming any higher until hour after Phase Two begins.......

    Should be available means in addition to the 3 free we get? Or we get the 3 claimed which cancels out getting the 3 free for first day of expedition? Cuz both could be true with what you said. (Sorry if I'm misunderstanding). I'm not clear on if we should all get 6 tickets whether we claimed the 3 threshold before or after phase 2 starts.

    I decided not to wait before the event started. I have all three tickets. Willl let everyone know what happens.
    But it is my belief there will be no reset until phase 2 first day is over. Therefore I should have six tickets when it begins.
    But the phase two start might be a reset.

    Reset never wipes, it just only brings you up to 3. So you'll keep what you have, but you may not get 3 to start phase 2.

    Since there is no place to put the 3 claimed threshold tickets before expedition starts i am sincerely hoping that the free 3 we start expedition with are counted first & the 3 threshold ones are added to that.

    I almost got messed up because a post Battle Reward dropped 350 Event Points and almost put me over, when I was going to claim after that battle!!!!!!!!

  • There has been way to much discussion about starting the second phase with 3 tickets and any claimed in threshold. They have done this ticket structure before.

    Just please pay attention to the phase change if you didnt copy and paste correctly.

    No, any on voyages or shuttles will be unavailable.

    I respectfully disagree. They have used this structure in full expeditions and in hybrids with the expedition portion first, but not a hybrid with expedition second IIRC.
    Even if I am wrong, this is an usual enough situation that it requires as much discussion as nessessary for everyone to understand it. Either way, we'll know for sure in 40 minutes.

    Personally, I am still going to refrain from claiming until Sunday, as it's the only day I have the time to run six tickets. Another factor for ticket watchers to consider.

    I pointed out already that this is the first time we have had expedition second where tickets have been given out as rewards from the first part. it's new ground.

  • Captain_WhoCaptain_Who ✭✭✭✭✭
    OK, who started out with 9 tickets? As it seems we were given the 3 threshold tickets without claiming rewards yet . . .

    Okay I started with 6 tickets. If they give six to everybody who did not claim rewards then DB goofed again. I had claimed rewards. On both accounts by accident on my 2nd. This also messed up my voyage plan on the 2nd.
  • Captain_WhoCaptain_Who ✭✭✭✭✭
    I got my 3 penalty tickets. But no rewards (at all) claimed yet. Fleetmate claimed his rewards and has 3 penalty tickets, 3 starting tickets and 3 reward tickets for 9/3 to burn by midnight.

    I am glad I accidentally claimed on my 2nd account. And purposely claimed in my main account. 6 per account is plenty. If I got more I would have played them. But what I got is enough.

    Ummmmm . . Are we supposed to have to crit nodes to get VP? 'Cos I guess we do now.
  • ShanShan ✭✭✭✭✭
    We did not give out tickets for this event. I let the team know about this but that will be something we will need to investigate further. We will not take action on this for this event.
  • V.V. ✭✭✭✭
    I started with 3/3. Didn't claim.

    Thanks for the response, and thanks for letting us know nothing will change. We appreciate a solid understanding of what's going on and where our expectations should be.

    Yes,I made that mistake last expedition.
    It's the long gap between expeditions that makes us forget.

    Likewise didn't claim, started with 3/3. But one of my fleetmates also didn't claim, started 6/3. Another didn't claim, started 7/3.
  • DScottHewittDScottHewitt ✭✭✭✭✭
    I'm not sure what is going on, but I have more than six, and have already used one.........

    Some of you may have had tickets in you inventory since the last expedition a year ago. IIRC if you don’t use the last days tickets they hang around until the next event. Pretty sure people had the same kind of thing happen with last years expedition.

    This was intended for Dev to keep an eye on phase change. It hasn't always gone smoothly when introducing a new structure. But this one turned out just fine.
    Good job Dev Team!!
