Falcon day today....

[NanaWiloh]

The only way I can see someone who keeps a recurring sub not getting the mount is if they got added free time such as Valcarde's case. The added free time is a pretty bad slip for SE to not notice when they made that part of the incentives for transferring / making new characters on the affected worlds. Everyone else just gets the mount on October 5th. The campaign has been up this entire time. If for some reason someone was affected (30-day sub and got 30 days for free for buying it), they would have seen the in-game notice. They had that opportunity.

Edit: You get the mount. On october 5. You're not going to miss getting the mount. You get it on October 5. Unless you got added free time like Valcarde.

Nice to know but their rules are convoluted and confusing. I read the rules again and some of the posts here I now understand the rules better but there is still going to be a lot of confused players cause of SE sloppy explanation.

Well now I am concerned again.
I last paid for my sub on the 8th June for 3 months, and I have the free playtime as I made and levelled characters on the new Omega server.
I will next be billed toward the end of september.

As long as you've renewed your subscription by the end of the september you should be good. You just need 90 days of paid (not used) subscription time on your account between july 1 & the end of september.

Am I going to need to go and buy a bunch of game time cards or will I be just scraping through by the skin of my teeth? The cut off is the end of september, so surely I will make it...?

So long as you're making that payment for the sub in September you will be good. The only issue is if, from my understanding of Valcarde's case, your payment is outside of September.

Edit: The bonus is for 15 days? Your starting date is June 8, 2017 so that means that 90 days later would be September 6, 2017. 15 days after that is September 21. Thus your payment is in end of September and you get the mount.

How is it confusing or convoluted? If this is an English native speaker issue, please let me know because I don't know those difficulties. The only thing I thought confusing or convoluted was checking eligibility. That only ever showed on September 5 when I was eligible as soon as July 1.

hah, thank you. I feel a bit of a dunce for not just doing the maths instead of panicking. I guess I just saw stuff about being released in tiers and cut off dates and recurring subs missing out and just assumed the worst for having not paid much attention to it all until now.

[ExKage]

If Valcarde's case means he can't get it based on recurring subs + free time, the only way you'd lose out on the mount with a recurring sub is if your sub will run out after September 15? September 16? That means the added play time pushes you into renewing in October, in which case I'd go and get a time card yeah.

The eligiblity part is what I was talking about. Even I can explain it better then SE did so people arent so confused.

-If you purchased a 90+ day sub before July 1st and have 90 days to left as of july 1st you will recieve the Falcon mount on or after Sept 5th
-If you purchased a 90+ day sub after july 1st and prior to Aug 31st you will recive the Falcon mount on or after Sept 5th.
-If you have a 30 day re-occuring sub and subbed the entire event you will recieve the mount on oct 5th.
-If you purchase a 90 day sub between Sept 1st and Sept 30th you will recieve the Falcon mount on or after Oct 5th

The free time part was explained well enough no need to re-explain that.
Note: Made some corrections to be more clear.

Literally, the cutoff date for the 5th of this month was the END of August? If you renewed it first of this month, you renewed it Sept 1 which is not in August.

Also, I've been checking every few weeks since the campaign was announced, I was eligible for the reward as soon as July 1 came as I had 164 days that counted. It never showed up as an item in there until the day of September 5. I even checked on September 4, it wasn't there. It shows as "Mount: Falcon" by the way.

Yeah, i was actually looking at the wrong thing like an idiot for the reward list.

regardless, i still got the mount despite renewing my sub on the 1st and not before that.

Bleh, i renewed my sub pretty much immediately after the 31st, like 2 AM CST (two hours after the 31st) so chances are they were still counting days added until later on in the day or w/e japan time things do

Man, I hope I don't miss out on this... I used a 60 day time card on July 13th, then another 60-day card yesterday when I saw these things going out to people. Worries me that it didn't update the 'Additional items' section with the Falcon after I applied the 2nd time card to my account...

Yeah, did the same. Would be nice if they let us know before hand, or maybe they're doing it so people keep wasting money on time cards. kinda slimy.

You should be fine Hezkezl, You just need to have 90 sub days credited to your account by Sept 30. If you applied your second card yesterday then you got the 90 days and should recieve the mount on Oct 5 when they do the second wave.
