4 star apology offer

pooky

where is it?

[7TW] UnkieB

Coming sometime today. They didn't say when...

Capt Ajamm

Be glad if it is still oct 19 when you see it

NS111111

As long as we get it at some point I'm not too fussed.

Not going to have any impact on this event - and getting an extra 15 4*s is a nice bonus for me. But then I wasn't unlucky with the results of my 15 premium pulls in the last week so I'm a lucky one I guess...

Don't know but I'm so excited that I keep restarting the game every 5 minutes...

They are currently running a script to determine who were affected and how many free packs do those players get. They said the script should take about 2 hours to complete. Once finished, the pack will be visible

Hi Captains,

I have an update for you. We're running a script now to grant eligible players the free redemptions of the 4-Star Apology Pack.

1. Players will start to see a "ghost" pip in the Time Portal UI. It'll look like you have something to redeem, but there's nothing you can claim. THIS IS OKAY.
   
2. Once the script is complete, we'll update the Time Portal with the 4-Star Apology Pack. At which point you WILL be able to redeem your pack pulls.
3. This process will take about 2 hours to complete.
   
4. Once it's done, you'll be able to claim the packs. We'll post an update once we confirm it's all complete.

Stay tuned!

Thank you I found it...wouldve expected a separate thread for that info...

Speckles the Destroyer of Worlds

I’m confident they will increase the support backlog by a few thousand tickets for non-forum players who have no idea what’s happening with the mystery badge on the store.

Odo Marmarosa

Got a second star for Capt Tpol and a few others I already FF. Not going to buy another to hunt the few on the list I still need stars for with the high honor cost.

Dinoss

Sybok = already frozen
Icheb = already frozen
Martia = already frozen

That is my luck

Kwich

Really?

I paid 17010 honor for an additional free pull and got a copy of the only 4/4 crew that I have of all of them offered?

For 18000 I could have bought a guaranteed star-up for any crew......that is so lame.

At least I got 200 honor back by airlocking Tpol .....

Thx for nothing.......

So do not do the "free" pull.......

Why not do the "free" pull? There is no down side to that. The fact that you gambled and spent 17010 honor for something and didn't get what you wanted is a bummer, but in no way is it their fault. I don't like to be critical but trying to tell people not to use their free pulls is just over the top.

Kwich

You are entitled to your opinion but I still say that the "gamble" for 990 honor less is NOT WORTH it when you can and will loose 16810 honor.

Better buy a citation for 18k than to do the free pull.

So what is over the top about that?

Many like me may think that they get one of those they do not have in this special pack but of course it is doubles as usual.

WaldoMag

I had 40 pulls coming
I got
4 Marla McGivers
4 Ambassador K’Ehleyr
3 Hippocrates Noah
3 North Star Archer needed all
2 Dahar Master Kor
2 Combat Medic Paris
2 Duchamps needed all
2 Klingon Neelix needed all
2 Princess Jadzia needed one
2 Captain Klaa needed one
Advocate Kolos
Sybok
Klingon Torres
Alidar Jarok
Vedek Bareil Antos
Captain T’Pol
Kurros
Laas
Anastasia Komananov
Ba’Ku Worf
Riley Frazier needed
Stranded Odo needed
Icheb needed
Maquis Ro Laren needed

Now I got two new crew 3/4 North Star Archer 2/4 Duchamps.
I FF several Riley Frazier, Princess Jadzia, Stranded Odo, Captain Klaa, Icheb, and Maquis Ro Laren. I also got two copies of Klingon Neelix bringing him to 3/4.

Not bad for the 40 pulls I had coming. This was on my second account that kept getting the iconic crew offer. I bought several of them realizing they were repeating. I decided to buy a few to get this account to VIP14.

Kind of sad 5400 honor in dismissals from this cannot get me one pull.
But i was quite happy with my actual pulls from my original packs. This apology was most certainly an apology and than some.

I who refuse to buy crew slots. Thank DB by buying 5. It helps me and gives some sizable dil. to DB.

The free pulls are free. If you paid the honor, that's not a free pull. There is literally no reason not to claim the free pulls if you have them.

[10F] NewtonianQBalls

Don't waste your honor on the "apology" pulls. You can get a 4* behold for 900 less and get a chance at picking between 3 characters instead of 1. Give it to DB to give a lame "apology" single 4* honor pull.

Well, this contradicts itself. When you paid 17010 honor it was not a free, but a paid pull. Hence your choice to try. Mainly this portal was a compensation for those who got affected by the Premium Portal bug. And those free pulls were a great reward for me. Added last stars to some crewmembers, immortalized some others etc.

Kaitee

Wow those ain't cheap (at least they didn't decide to make the honour cost a shout out to Voyager instead of the Enterprise). But no harm done, I got my freebies. Objectively, only one really great result from 17 attempts, along with a few discards I already had 4/4 and a few extra stars on crew I'm not too fussed about - but the great result was Anastasia Komananov, and I'm never objective with Kira, so yay.

WaldoMag

On my main account I had 12 free pulls coming.
I got
Ambassador K’Ehleyr
Klingon Torres
Maquis Ro Laren
Captain Klaa
Stranded Odo
Dahar Master Kor
Martia
Captain T’Pol
Riley Frazier needed
North Star Archer needed
Doc Crusher needed
Cyrus Redblock needed

I got 3 new crew and FF Riley Frazier.

Still will not get crew slots on this account. This account still has more crew slots than my other. Now I need to cryo three superrare to make room for new crew.

One is easy choice Riley Frazier into cryo.
Edit: 2nd choice Edith Keeler
Final choice a little harder. I had Tuvix in and out of cryo. Now he is back in.

[CFOH] Earl Grey

I landed a Klaa that F/F'd him, and a Hippocrates Noah, new for me. Then I took the bait and decided to try an additional pull for honour. Therein lies my folly.

I'm irked at myself for not realizing the value of honor spent on a 4* behold or citation vs spending on an 'apology' pull. Duh...

I broke my recent all-honor-for-Kahless policy, too. Oh well, back to climbing towards the Unforgettable.

Pallidyne

Good to get the freebees as decent compensation. Only got 2, but added a star to one of my crew so all good.

I believe I will have the worst story. For some stupid reason, my own stupidity, I thought it said 170 honor so I pulled two, not realizing it was 17,010 honor. In my defense the numbers on the iPhone are very small but I should have thought NO WAY! I was going to keep going and see if I could get 4 Robin Hood Picard's but instead I traded 34,000 honor for 400 honor. I was saving for a legendary behold but instead now I can get 5 replicator rations.

[ISA] Raven

probably someone thought of 1701-D(0).... so perhaps some thought was actually put into the cost...

Good observation. Keeping it Star Trek related. I most definitely would not have done those pills if I saw the cost correctly

Oh no, EWB. You're right, as awful stories go, that one will be hard to beat. Here is an endless double-facepalm for you...

Thanks man. That was a rough one to swallow

Captain Lost

I got Sybok, Klingon Neelix and Forehead Alien George Costanza. I airlocked all except Sybok. Nothing too exciting, but it was free so not really complaining here.

Harald Hardrada

2 free pulls, Advocate Kolos and Icheb. Both already immortalised, so 400 honour. Yay.

Jim Steele

I had 33 free pulls! I had a lot to work through but I had 3 copies of Deuchamps, 2 Sherrif Worfs, 3 Klingon Neelixs' to fuse him up, A stranded Odo to fuse him, a North Star Archer and the rest were duplicates/characters which I didn't like (Icheb etc) so air-locked them.

10/33 characters is about a 30% hit rate and I did net 4600 honour so not all bad. Would have been nicer if there was a behold chance in there but in all im not complaining. I'd never spend the crazy amount of honour for them though! Too reliant on RND,
