Oh, it has been applied. I just wanted to make sure people knew so they didn't freak out as much as I did when I couldn't access the account.

I got in with my main account with no problems.
I got in with my second account with no problems.
If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

Just tried again... Still not accepting it on the website.

well 2 clicks... one to retweet, and one to confirm that you want to retweet

Very true! Caught me. Thanks. |

Still, not a lot of effort required (once you've signed up, that is, which still, comparatively speaking, doesn't require much effort).

It's the direct-message thing that has me scratching my head, because I've actually tried DMing people and been informed by Twitter that I can't DM someone who isn't following me -- and CoH isn't following me...yet. -- Pauper |

Hi Guys,
well I was a lucky one and got a code and applied it no problem (got into master account via link on game login splash screen cause the web link was broken).
After I did all that I checked my regular e-mails and saw that I had 3 new ones, 2 from NcSoft about a code being applied and one about it being activated.
The third was from Twitter informing me of a new DM from CoH and showing a copy of the content which of course had the code included.
So even if I had not found the message from inside Twitter I would have gotten it via my normal e-mail system.
See if you have got that as well if you are still waiting for a response about your code.
Cheers

Get ready. Another round coming Soon™ for the Dark Matter Aura per the latest tweet.
If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

There's a setting within Twitter where you can have it send you an email automatically whenever you get a DM. I don't know if that's enabled by default or not, but it might be worth looking into for everyone who doesn't plan to remain Twitter-active.
(Also, it possible to set it up so you get a text message on your phone every time a specific user -- say, CoH -- tweets.)
Oh, and about ten minutes ago, they tweeted that the next round (for Dark matter again) starts "in a few minutes."
EDIT: There it is. Only five minutes this time! Half as much work for Zwill and Hit Streak (in theory), I suppose.
FUN FACT: That burst of light when you level up is actually the effectiveness escaping from your enhancements all at once.
New contest RIGHT NOW FOR 5 MINUTES!!!
RETWEET NOW! Five minute window, everyone!

I'd like to thank Z and those at Paragon that facilitated this new method of code release on Twitter! I'm still not keen on the social media thing, but this I can be happy with =D.

In fact, I'm looking at my Twitter feed right now, and a local concert venue just tweeted about how the first person to tweet them back with the answer to a trivia question wins FREE TICKETS to tonight's show! Know why I'm not upset with them over that? Because if I want to go to that show, but I don't win those tickets, I'll have had the opportunity to get them in a way that didn't involve blind luck in direct competition with hundreds or thousands of other people. I could just, you know, buy them. "Hey, follow us on Twitter and you could win this cool thing for free! Or you could just go to the Paragon Market and buy it." There's your solution. Twitter account legitimized, man-hours allocated, player base not alienated. |
And again, I'm not seeing my Retweet showing up but Pollyanna Matronic tells me she sees it.
Just in case:
You can see that it shows Retweeted in the picture.
If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

Thanks to the OCR team for working to make it more accessible even though it turned into much more work than planned.

Hit Streak and Zwillinger, thank you so so so much for giving us this second opportunity.

Twelve minutes and counting since the window closed and I'm still waiting for my code!
This is a slap in the face!
(Sorry, I just realized that after all that... "spirited discussion" in the first 15 pages or so of this thread, I didn't remember seeing that phrase.)

Ok WTF????
Just seen this after doing a retweet to try and get a new code after screwing up the US codes I got earlier on...
Quote:
I didn't know it was a US code this morning, used it by mistake and my wife's we gave to a US player before we found we could have changed it. Thought ok, fair enough, messed that up, we'll get another chance.| FYI - if you got a code this morning, you won't be getting another right now. It's for the same item! |
Apparently not!
No worries, we're doing the free advertising for CoH after all, why shouldn't we get the code! Oh noooo, can't have that!!
I wouldn't mind, I PM'd as told to earlier, STILL not a response several hours later!!
And what about people with more than one account? They can't get one??
VERY UNHAPPY about this!!
