Just noticed this in the collections
Has a new crew been announced? Or is this just a glitch?

Perhaps another clue - the main prize icon is missing. Tried it on different versions of the client so it's not a glitch...
Me, still not getting a drop of the Caretaker after all these years, reading this thread...
Same situation: crew gauntlet reward missing
I'd like to echo calls for a historical behold. Maybe it can be tested as a portal giveaway, to help veterans complete a legacy crew, and allow newer players the chance to secure a copy of Locutus or Red Angel etc to have a better chance to compete.
Seconding both of these. I'm still missing the Klingons, Red Angel and Caretaker and need more stars on Guinan and Locutus; however, the game keeps dropping me Balok (who I already finished with citations) even though he's no longer featured. A behold that lets you choose would be fantastic.
More Gauntlet crew would be nice, but a wider range of featured traits might accomplish the same goal of making more crew viable for Gauntlet. Either way, it'd be great to get away from "wall of the same five crew you can only beat if you also have that crew".
At least a very high chance of current crew. It doesn't necessarily have to be guaranteed.
And also beholds need to expire whenever new gauntlet crew arrives, so that players who have saved their beholds can redeem them for the new crew which they haven't earned. Or new crew must be excluded from old beholds.
I don't know what you mean by saving gauntlet beholds. My idea is that when opening a loot box from the gauntlet you'd get a mixed behold instead of the current here-take-this random gauntlet crew. I may be missing something here...
And this would probably stop those that are still playing gauntlet from continue playing as it will make finishing off the gauntlet crew so much easier
After that, it's pretty much just OE's? 🤷♂️
Please don't make Excretus of Borg a gauntlet crew. It's the worst mechanic in the game, and even if you really commit to it you might never get him.
I can see both sides of the debate. It would be nice to get a behold that had the most current crew and two other older crew to pick from. And as you say, it would seem to make it easier to get the most current crew member and potentially lessen involvement from other players.
Edit* I do mean Gauntlet crew for the behold mentioned above, not all potential crew in the game.
I wish they would alter the rewards a bit in the Gauntlet, to add something equally as sought after as the crew possibly. I’m not sure what that would be? But I do wish they would enhance the play in the Gauntlet. Several options to tweak the play have been offered by players. Otherwise, at least in my case, I will play until I can earn a copy of the new crew and them I’m done. At that point, I don’t care to play the Gauntlet anymore. Less desirable rewards, walls of the same character, and nothing to really play for, ensure that.
I am lucky to have all 7. The only one I have immortalized is the caretaker - which I did in my early days by citing him, & I also DYCed Guinan - again before I learned better from others 🤦♂️🤦♂️
Of course I got another copy of Caretaker 😆 but don't believe in taking dupe copies into gauntlet matches
Unless they release new gauntlet exclusive crew with higher frequency than they have so far, or make the rewards better (get rid of the trainers and random equipment for extra valor / quantum / 4* or 5* cites / etc).
My preference, though, would be something as simple as making each appearance of non-currently-featured gauntlet-exclusive crew be a behold of all previous gauntlet-exclusive crew. Give people a chance of getting the one they are still missing, or picking the one that would help them most if they need lots, or not getting a copy of one they already have immortalized. There may be worse things than getting your seventh copy of The Caretaker when you still need your first copy of Guinan, Armus, and Balok, but I can't really think of any at the moment. Since the non-featured cards are currently (ostensibly) all the same rarity, it wouldn't really change any odds, and would throw a bone to those who feel like giving up on the gauntlet as the increased number of cards drastically decreases their chance of getting the older ones they still need.
What do you say, @WRG Team ? Make the Gauntlet reward a behold!
I'm of two minds on this. On the one hand the people that tend to complain about missing gauntlet crew are also the people who complain about gauntlet and say they don't play it. The people who regularly play gauntlet mostly seem to have collected all the crew.
On the other hand, as the pool of previous characters continues to grow, making the old gauntlet crew a behold between 3 of them wouldn't be that big of a change and would help players a bit. Plus it doesn't really harm players who have all the crew and makes collecting dupes easier.
Overall I think I'm in favor of the legacy gauntlet behold.
I had the same thought. Keep the new gauntlet crew harder to get, while giving players better odds at tracking down missing past gauntlet crew via the secondary rewards pool.
