PS: However, I'm quite sure we'll be able to claim that title and the Holo-Leeta duff in-game sumhow later. It happened to all other exclusive stuff as well (except the RMC).

Is that T5 Connie in that picture?? :D
somrik @ Oct 7th, 2012 12:12PM
Well shit I guess Im out of luck for this one.
pdgii @ Oct 6th, 2012 8:45AM
thats not even remotely cool... you should have it set up that everyone can still earn this reward... i have a life... i cant just quit work, pay $500 CDN, to go to england, trust me, if i could i would have a dozen times over. every sense perfect world took over its been down hill from there with these twist that can only apply to certain people. they are show favoritism to the highest grade. either they dont give 2 hoots about the game anymore cause garbage such as this will cost them gamers. inturn people to buy out zen. if that is your real intent speak now. that way i know to quit all together.
toastieriowa2 @ Oct 6th, 2012 8:42AM
a lot of the commentors seem to miss the point of the convention. its not a 'game' convention, 99.9% of the people there will be going to get autographs from the actors and a chance to briefly meet them aswell as party it up with fellow trekkies, argue in klingon, meet a hot orion, that sort of thing.
wisesocrates @ Oct 5th, 2012 7:38PM
Wish I could attend. Congrats to you all who are going. Will there be a way in the future, for the rest of us poor shlubs who can't attend the exhibition, to earn Holo-Leeta?

Well I got my standard ticket yesterday am sooooo excited to be going since I have never been to a Star Trek Convention before its going to be awesome I don't know if I will get a goody bag but if not well I have a android smart phone with a 8 meg pixel camera so providing evidence I was there is not a issue lol. The title I think is a bit snooty so I may not always display just so I avoid any hate from other peeps who didn't get to go and the doff not that epic but there both free and I may sell the doff on the exchange unless I want to keep it since I already have loads of really good high quality doffs anyway :). I feel even though these rewards are free they could have been better like some free zen or lockbox keys that would have been good since there made of pixels and therefore don't cost anything really to make as such.

i can not wait to go it will be very awesome
thlaylierah @ Oct 5th, 2012 4:51AM
Another trip already? Hope they left some people minding the shop and fixing bugs......
zeuxidemus001
Even when they have 100% attendance bugs aren't getting fixed... wouldn't matter if they all left or not lol.
leoll2 @ Oct 5th, 2012 4:13AM
I want Star Trek Rome!
mattjohnsonva @ Oct 5th, 2012 3:43AM
In any case even if you live in the UK this event is very expensive. For two adults and 2 kids it costs £120 plus £200 train fare from Nottingham which is about 100 miles from London, plus food, goodies etc, easily £500 for a day out, and that ticket price is for 1 day only. Driving to London is a joke and only people that live there or those with lots of disposable income are going to get the chance to go. however it's great that Cryptic have a presence there and I hope it brings in more players.
johncampbell07 @ Oct 5th, 2012 2:57AM
I have an idea I hope someone takes seriously. It goes like this: After the convention is over set up the State Room at Earth Space Dock so a screen is located behind the podeum on the wall. Show a replay of the opening with all five of Captains past there so anyone who wants to see it can. If you like this idea please pass it on to CBS and the Developers. We might get lucky. :o)
luedual @ Oct 5th, 2012 2:33AM
Well, we, third world players are still wainting to be noticed, depite the fact that we comprise a significant part of STO. Are we gonna get the same oportunity? We are still wainting for the TR 116 A rifle...
prachel @ Oct 5th, 2012 2:03AM

aquitaine985

I already got that stuf at the Vegas convention It's really not all that great but at least it's something. A lot of people are complaining that all they will get is the Leeta Doff and the Convention Veteran title. All these people forget that the Devs didn't have to give anybody anything at all. At least the Devs gave us something, they didn't have to, but they did. People should be thanking them not scorning them. They wen't out of their way to give a little thing to people who cared about their game enough to show up at their kiosk at the Convention, so thank you Cryptic. Too many haters in this world.
mattjohnsonva
Indeed, it seems that many people nowadays only live to hate, they have my pity but they'd probably hate that too!

Just Great! Something else i can't get a hold of. Hundreds of dollars i spend on STO what with Ships, Ship Slots, Bank Slots, Inventory, Lock Box Key's and on and on....I still can't "Take a seat" at the conference in mission "Second Wave" or whatever its called. I cancelled my Sub after 700 days because i was told that the problem was fixed and i was dismissed! I must have opened 200 temporal boxes only to get 80% Duty Officer Packs and Fleet crap, useless for those who are not in a fleet and the Duty Packs are mini! for cryin out loud. Of course no ship. Sorry...getting of track. My comment is this. You think your so great with all your exclusive deals but i wonder...Are you drawing more people in or are you pushing more of them away?
mattjohnsonva
The drop rate for the ship is 0.5%. If you had spent the money on keys and sold them on the exchange you could have bought the Wells and the Mobius with change to spare. The DOFF packs are also pretty good for raising EC, a typical Gamma Quadrant pack sells for 100K but has contents worth on average at least double that. Regarding the convention, the USA has most of the Trek conventions and it's great that finally us loyal fans in Europe have a place we can reach. The item in the CBS goodie bag is only a rare DOFF, it's not as if they are giving away Jem Hadar Attack Ships, I really think that some people need to get this into some sort of perspective.
mattjohnsonva @ Oct 4th, 2012 5:55PM
Nice one Brandon, are any of the STO team going to be there?
shepard31 @ Oct 4th, 2012 5:53PM
Now watch as your one-of-a-kind Holo Leeta Doff dies in a tragic Turbolift Maintenance accident.
