@hiljo said in ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ SUMMON THE EBONY FLINTLOCK ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ:

Title says it all, begging for another chance to get the "black dog" flintlock for all the poor Souls that missed it last time (me inclusive :-)).

There is written enoungh about the reasons:

• not that well announced
• narrow time window
• People watched the stream but not get it / messed the account Connection / etc.
• exclusivity is one Thing but this is kinda unfair / everybody preordered shoudt get a fair Chance to complete the black dog pack?!

So plz do us another favour and do another stream! Maybe a THD launch Thing?

Sorry, not exclusive if everyone has it :)
Should have paid more attention considering it was all over the forum, twitch, mixer, discord, and reddit.

Nah, come on - something new instead!!

@hiljo I'm a little salty I didn't get it as well, but it is what it is. I wasn't paying attention to twitter at the time, and didn't see it mentioned on the forums. Or maybe I wasn't on the forums at the time? I don't know. It would be nice to get another shot at it, but oh well!

I'm not against exclusives, but the fact you only had an 8 hour stream on a single day is not a great way to give out an item. There were a lot of people including myself who couldn't make the stream. I've also heard about people having watched the stream and not received the item. The whole process was rather messy.

I can't say I blame the OP, the weapon is quite desirable. I got mine on the second stream after hearing about the ruckus from the first.
I gotta believe something equivalent to the Ebon will be available eventually.

i dont think there was even a forum post tbh, i was on the forums day in day out around the time the second stream happened, and i wasn't on twitter. but 2-3 days later a post talked about how it sucked how they didn't get a chance, and people were talking about a second stream.
My question is...why only post the notification on twitter and not on your forums? and make it like the mega threads so people dont miss it?
Make a message on xbox, and email, spread the news like a plague

@hiljo I agree to add insult to injury so to speak there is the Chip's Ahoy promo is the US which if you live outside of you cant get it. Added to this the SoT controller had a unique set of ferryman weapons but that's sold out and the SoT harddrive has the blackdog blunderbuss. Considering they only gave half of the blackdog pack I think its only right we get the other half without having to pay extra.

You snooze you lose, as they say. I don't think they should bring back a chance to get it, if you missed out you missed out, better luck next time. I wish I had gotten in early enough to be a founder or a pioneer, but that's on me, life happened and I missed out.

@triheadedmonkey I'm not against timed exclusives, but I'm used to timed exclusives being around a week, or two. I've also seen weekend events in game. This was the first time I've seen an item being given out for watching a stream. I heard about the first one after the second one already happened. A lot people were complaining because most people didn't hear about it. Also the game had just come out I know quite a few people too busy playing the game to keep up with Social Media and know their was a stream. What would be great at the games title screen is a news report advertising exclusives and specials along with upcoming events.

I don’t have a problem with exclusive items in general, even time limited ones. But personally I think those items should be wholely unique items and not part of a set.

The black dog pack, onix items, the ebony pistol and the blunderbuss from the hard drive obviously go together, and with a world wide community you can get them even though some are exclusive to certain countries. I know I’ve bought extra cookies and sent the extra codes to people in other countries. You can even get the black dog pack if you are willing to pay enough for it.

The one item that is out of reach is the pistol, for those of us that are completionist, or mildly ocd that is just irksome. Yes I get it, and if they don’t offer it again I have to deal, but I’m willing to pay or trade to get it.

Hey Rare, anyone there like the princess bride and open to a bribe? I’ve got some vintage goblets you might like

I'm not involved with social media, and the first stream seemed an Instagram/Mixer exclusive event.
I am involved with this forum however, and should thank triheadedmonkey for posting that announcement.
I remember logging in ten hours before and soloed in-game while it played in the background.
The weapon has been my preferred firearm ever since then. I also had to get all the Onyx gear as well. I can live without the blunderbuss.
I think these promotions are more MS Marketing than Rare.
Thanks again triheadedmonkey.

Perhaps it would be better to suggest the release of the Black Dog weapon and/or tool set as a microtransaction sometime after December, when the Chips Ahoy promo ends. The clothes and instruments should remain pre-order only.

I would still get that blunderbuss if I had a chance to get it for free.
