Follow up for the Ebon Flintlock being missed by a large portion of players during the one stream?

    Just wondering when the team is planning on posting the follow up about the Ebon Flintlock that they mentioned in the Q&A? I and many other players missed the stream even though we'd been keeping an eye on social media for months now, and were also busy playing the limited beta at the time.

    "Lobosolo85: The Ebon Flintlock pistol skin was given out for live attendees to the Inside XBOX stream on mixer. So many of us were unable to attend. Will it be made available on future (similar) streams in the future? Or are we out of luck?

    @crossx2 It seems like they are looking into it, when would be the right time to introduce it again. I would say not until post launch.

    @Crossx2 I feel that there are right times and places for it to be rehashed, but hours before the game's launch is probably not it.

    I would suggest about 2 weeks out reminding them. Here on the forums is great.

    Why 2 weeks? It is a cosmetic, they want to see how players play the game, they want to react accordingly to issues that come up, etc.

    Until then, let us all hope for an issue free launch and an even better gaming experience.

    I can see them doing another Mixer and rewarding players with it by making a proper announcement on the forums first :)

    The follow up could end up being "In the future we will announce all giveaways in advance of the event" rather than everyone being given another chance at the skin.

    I can't wait for release so this topic gets dropped. I'm positive people will forget about it when they realize that there are much more beautiful or cool looking pistols to use.

    Means QQ. learn to pay attention..... if nothing is special, well nothing is special. The world is real, you can't have everything. All the more power to the people that hang on every word to the Devs, they should get something special... Sorry you have a 9-5 but they are more special than you, one day you will have something they don't have.... Then you can be the Rare unicorn, want us to take away your special unicorn horn too?

    @rayfromjersey They won't, as it is in their gizzard to condemn and hate anything they can't achieve that other people did. It's a flaw in the current generation of gamers, and society.

    probably gonna be part of micro transactions.

    Ray, did you tune into the stream and get the skin?

    Relax. Some people have jobs and can’t be staring at the forums and twitter all day.

    Nah, I did not know about it, like everyone else complaining. However, I know that just like with most other games I've played, launch exclusive cosmetics are quickly replaced and found to be pretty lame compared to stuff you get shortly into the game.

    I can't really be mad I missed out on a free item that I'll never use, can I?

    @zokraitz If this item was actually promoted well like they promote their game, then I could understand you being frustrated about people making threads about missing out on the ebon flintlock. I don’t think using all of those adjectives describes most of the people who missed out on this Skin due to lack of communication, you seem to be generalizing a bit.

    We all know about the “everyone deserves a trophy metaphor” and I don’t think that applies to a situation like this. Even the developers admitted this was handled improperly.

  • Huggy09 EIRE

    So why b***h about us asking for another chance at the skin if you know there will be better skins. You know nothing matey's like us all because the game has not released. Do not try to force opinions on others. I had work and would like the skin as I preordered and it clearly is part of the black dog set, I'm not mad if I don't get it, but unless you pre ordered I guess you wouldn't understand.

    The salt will be a sight to behold if the Founder reward is a Black Dog item set skin. Anyone seen the Black Dog Eye of Reach lying around? ;)

  • WeAreLegion

    First: I missed it as well.

    Second: It’s just a cosmetic, and honestly those who got it from the stream deserve it. No harm no foul if we don’t get it too.

    I mean, I have the controller and it’s associated cosmetic bonus, is everyone getting that too because they are frustrated? What about the swag for pre-orders, the hard drive, the Xbox Live bonus...founders?

    Where does it end?

    Let those who have it keep the flintlock...there will be plenty more guns and other equipment for us all to get...and plenty we will miss. 👍🏼

    All I want to know right now is if a second chance it completely out of the question or not, that shouldn't be so hard to answer? I watched the stream via a tweeted periscope-livestream tweeted by the official xbox-twitter, because I didn't know about the Ebon Flintlock. I'm having anxiety and I'm really stressed out atm! :(

    @tozzeb same I want to know when as well

    I'm a little bit mad I missed out on it as I didn't see it advertised or anything. But I have the controller pack, waiting for pre order pack still and I'm.going to get the xbox live pack tomorrow. So can't grumble too much and can mix and match some sweet cosmetics.
    It's the inner completionist that wants it but like with the hard drive, I saw the price and nit actually needing hard drive I was instantly put off. Just for a Blunderbuss skin? Should have been a sniper skin IMO.
