Well, they did say it will happen when the server build rolls over as usual, which is I think 1 hour after the 1 day pre-event pop-up (the pre-event should pop up in 8 minutes from now). So I think there's still time. If I am not mistaken, that's the message that gives you 10 comms on Faction.
No, they said this:
"The current plan is to release the server build and Episode 8 tomorrow morning, before Noon ET."
Unless by 'before noon' they meant like 2 minutes before.
My bad on the positive side, there is indeed an Episode 8 up with Idrin's scary mug on it
Thanks DB. Wont really have time to really explore this unill later but the 0* hologram rare reward for the first mission is a good sign for the episodes loot drops. And I have Karr FF and no Wayone so it's an easy choice on which faction to support.
I appreciate the new content but all it does is give us some high cost (minimum 16 chronitons) missions to farm the same old stuff we can already farm. It looks like no faction only items or high demand items are in any of the missions outside of rare rewards. No holoprograms, no ancient films, no science experiments, etc.
This is completely disappointing because holoprograms should be abundant in Hirogen related missions.
So it gives us something new to grind through for a few hours/days with no lasting benefit since the previous 7 episodes have all the same drops.
I can't see where any thought went into this at all. It just looks plug-n-play. Set up some nodes, throw in some rewards and go live. No thought went into gearing the rewards to the story. We got a generic vs. brand name episode, heh.

I agree completely. At first glance, it doesn't look like there are any extremely useful new missions. I could see some slightly better drops for 4* casing or databases after drop testing, but there is nothing new. Same old crap, I'm not excited at all.
You get either a copy of Weyoun or Colonel Karr, both 4*.

This isn't what I'm asking. I know what crew you get, I'm asking what the final mission looks like after you choose a faction for victory. What's the skill tree? What traits are required? What are the rare and standard rewards?

Have you done Episode 7 yet?
It might need unlocking that way? Just a thought

Not finished, but started it. Seems like other Episodes are unlocked, even if the preceding is not totally done.
Episode eight isn't even showing up as Locked. Just not there......

Reloading now. But I didn't even log in this afternoon until after 1PM.

Okay. I finished a Victory in Episode Seven and got a Mirror Garak. Now it is showing.
Good times! Good luck!
