May 4th Droid


Sibras

Recommended Posts

I've logged in on May 4th but not seemed to have been issued the droid? I did resub this morning which might have something to do with it, but then again the promotional stuff all just says "all players" not subscribers

You're not the only one. I've been logging on previously this week, logged on today, no droid. Been subbed for the last couple of months, so it's not an issue with that.

They did say you'd get it *by* May 5th, so perhaps they're only going over all the eligible accounts in batches?

I was playing multiple times during that period.

Most recently, I logged in at least three times on May 3, and several times over the course of May 4, hoping to pick it up that day.

Still no droid.

Everyone I know already has it, I guess they could be working backwards from most recently created accounts to oldest, in which case, mine will be a later one to get it, but I've not met more than a couple of people who've not had it yet ingame.

They might be doing that. Have you sent them a ticket?

And I log in this evening to see that they've changed the above text. It's no longer available to people who log in between April 27 and May 4, but now is available to anyone who logs in by May 30.

My guess is that they realised people were having this issue so extended the Astromech promotion to bring it in line with the other ones running concurrently with it.

  • 3 weeks later...

It's a bit of BS if you ask me, but It still seems to be limited to Apr 27 - May4th

I saw the first two links pages that say by May 30th and didn't log in since I thought I had some time to do so...

 

The launcher says:

Get your May the Forth Reward, New Zakuulan Astromech Droid - Login by May 30th

 

The website http://www.swtor.com/may-the-fourth/reward?intcmp=sor_bwa-mkt-t-us-hp-250 says:

Log in and play between April 27 – May 30 to get your own M4-I6 Zakuulan Astromech Droid Mini-Pet!

 

But one little spot says:

Get your own Zakuulan Astromech Droid Mini-Pet*** plus Double XP!

 

and the *** says:

THIS OFFER IS BEING ISSUED TO YOU FOR PROMOTIONAL PURPOSES ONLY AND DO NOT CONSTITUTE A CREDIT, CHARGE, DEBIT OR GIFT CARD. OFFER EXPIRES MAY 4, 2016 11:59PM PST. REQUIRES A Star Wars: THE OLD REPUBLIC (“SWTOR”) ACCOUNT. TO RECEIVE THE M4-16 ZAKUULAN ASTROMECH DROID MINI-PET, YOU HAVE TO HAVE LOGGED IN TO YOUR SWTOR ACCOUNT BETWEEN APRIL 27, 2016 AT 12:01AM PDT // 7:01AM GMT AND MAY 4, 2016 AT 11:59PM PDT // MAY 5, 2016 AT 6:59AM GMT

interesting, I opened a ticket the other day asking about this and I was told that because I did not log in between the 27th and 4th I do not qualify and there was nothing they could do since it was a limited time offer... (they seemed to ignore the fact that they are advertising it as login by May 30th...)

I also found an old email that says to login by May 30th for it... so three locations, a Webpage, email, and launcher all say login by the 30th for the droid with no fine print garbage.

 

I know some people did indeed get the droid on May 5th...

 

Interested to see what happens...

That is a very strange response as I believe it's already been granted. At least I got mine on my alts back on the 5th I believe.

 

You may want to remove that review link from your post. I believe anything submitted is editable and can be done multiple times. At least it used to be.

Got it today. It wasn't granted at the same time as the subscriber vehicle so I sent a ticket. That was replied to and included the item but... it seems I was premature as a mail was received automatically on log on today with the replied message being timestamped as being received in the box 6 hours previously. Fast and good customer service. Checking on alts the auto mail is received automatically on log on as well. Really glad they extended the offer as I couldn't log in game in time due to patching because I only checked for offers on the 4th. Thank you.

so you didn't log in between 27th and 4th?

I saw the email saying until the 30th so figured I didn't have to jump on for a few bit, and customer service told me that I didn't qualify cause of not logging in between the 27th and 4th...
