I've redeemed all of the dad event challenges but haven't gotten anything yet...

I had to log out and log back in to receive mine, and they didn't have the usual account injection popup.

How about a buccal swab hanging item?

Hello there. First off, did you redeem via Website or In-Game?

If Website, there will NOT be an Injection Popup, as that wasn't designed in. Frankly, somebody at PGI really should fix that.

If you instead clicked the In-Game "Claim" Button, you need to give it a few moments. It's acting slow, even on me. Although, I guess relogin might be needed if it doesn't answer within 2 minutes. But if that's happening, maybe you should go file a Bug Report over in Patch Feedback?

Got the Ram's Horn, and "Baby on board" cockpit items in just a few matches. Very good deal.

I will not be able to play again until Monday or Tuesday. ¡Argh!

Nuts... I hope PGI's Event Staff see this, and then extend the Event a little to compensate for those Dads who have Real Life things blocking them from playing.

Did we have a mothers day event?

If so, having no fathers day event is sexist and I wont stand for it.

Even though im no father. I might be a father one day though so its all the same.

So telling me that all that meat came from your father-in-law has now taken on a whole new meaning!

FYI it's slow because it's adding the rewards per tick into your wallet before the popup appears. The popup serves as a summary. So the more challenges being redeemed the longer the popup will take to appear. If you look closely at the wallet area, you'll see your balances increase tick by tick (eg 500k cbills or 50MC, etc) as the game is doing its thing, before the popup appears.

And second that on no popup if you redeem from website.

Thanks for the heads-up... I'll have to look for that during my next major Event Reward Redeem. It should be an interesting sight to watch.

I do hope that PGI's Developers find a way to fix that up one of these days. It would be a really positive quality-of-life improvement for those who still can't use the In-Game Event Browser, amongst other possibilities. Heck, I would like to know what keeps breaking that thing for other people.

[arcana75]

On the no popup I am more concerned the game might burp and I don't get my due rewards if I redeem from website, since I can't remember what I had before. So these days I always redeem ingame. Thankfully the ingame system works for me.

Mother's/Father's day was invented by greeting card companies to make money. So no, it doesn't have to belong in a game that isn't a greeting card simulator.

I was actually able to get time to myself to actually play this game on fathers day, that was gift enough for me.
