147794-is-anyone-else-not-receiving-the-coco-decor-and-weapon-skin-like-they-should

== Content ==
			
So on Nov 22nd, there was a twitter post saying that the Coconut Monkey decor item and the Rest in Piece Maker weapon skin would be available again through PC Gamer (https://twitter.com/WildStar/status/668542562198687744). It was mentioned that there was a signup period lasting multiple days on twitter. Today, I was curious about the status of the signup period and found a reddit post on the topic (https://www.reddit.com/r/WildStar/comments/3v81jd/is_anyone_else_not_receiving_the_coco_decor_and/). Basically, CRB Sunshine was asking people to message them on reddit if you haven't received these items yet. 
 
I managed to dig up my reddit account info that I never use to message CRB Sunshine, but then I thought about how some players don't have a Reddit account so I'm posting here to see if anyone else is having issues with receiving the codes for this giveaway. And hopefully, a dev response about an alternate means of contact beyond making a Reddit account and messaging them there.

Contact Contests@PCGamer(dot)com if you still haven't received a code. Replace the (dot) with an actual period.
 
If you still haven't received anything, feel free to post about it here. Someone might feel generous and give you a code as that happened to me. You can also try your luck on Reddit if you want: https://www.reddit.com/r/WildStar/comments/3xhxqd/have_an_extra_pc_gamer_key_want_to_be_someones/
 
Also, no need to send me codes! I appreciate people giving me extra, but Xiun was nice enough to give me a backup code if I miss out on this giveaway again. If I luck out and finally get a code, I'll be sure to give it to someone else. I've been trying to contact everyone I possibly can (except Support Ticket since it's on PC Gamer's end, though maybe I should try that too lol) in hopes of at least an explanation of why I never receive anything from PC Gamer. And yes, I checked to make sure I didn't block their email.

			Thank you so much for posting this, I would have never known! It would be great if a dev could post something where we can email them on the forums here, it would be very convenient. However, since I really want that Rest in Piece Maker, I'm going to go head over and make a Reddit account  to make sure my email gets though.  :ph34r:

			Yeah have not recieved anything here either. And I am not about to make a Reddit account just to get the stuff. Completely not worth it.	
----
			 I havn't recieved nothing doesnt suprise me neither .. never recieved my prize from one of the giveaways way back. I can't even fathom why carbine has their heads so far up the clouds that they cant use their own message boards for this. Im not gonna jump through 3rd party hoops or make a reddit account when this forum should be their first priority in the first place. Professionalism at its finest.	
----
			
Nothing, and I even used 2 e-mail accounts just to make sure nothing bugged out on me.
 
While using reddit to get this resolved isn't the... best thing, I did sign up for an account and send a message.  Hope it gets resolved soon.	
----
			If I signed up today, will I still get the decor?	
----
			Thanks for the heads up! Also a bit glad to know I am not the only one still waiting.	
----
			
Signed up the day it was advertised, have received nothing.
 
I've checked my spam folder and inbox closely everyday for it.

----
			Yikes, happened again huh? Well thank you very much, I'll let my friends know none of us use Reddit so they would have missed that completely.	
----
			
Thanks for posting this.
I also didn't receive anything and don't use - and don't plan to use - reddit, would've just waited until I eventually forgot about it if not for your post.
Here's to hoping it's possible to get this sorted without signing up to yet another third party site.	
----
			
I don't think we should have to send our information to get the items, it should be sorted on their behalf.
We already gave them plenty of information.	
----
			Yeah I don't have Reddit, I don't want Reddit... so an alternative source for contacting would be super cool!

			You can probably try support or sending PM via the forums to Sunshine directly, but an official contact would be nice. I remember last time when issues came about, people had to contact support about it I think.(someone can correct me if I'm wrong)	
----
			
Actually, now that I read the thing over on reddit I'm wondering two things
 
- There's a bunch of people saying they didn't receive the mail but nobody who did. Did the PC Gamer folks actually start sending emails yet?
 
- CRB_Sunshine specifically asks for "the emails that your WildStar accounts are attached to" did those and the email we used to sign up to the newsletter have to be the same? If so I must have missed that.
I like knowing who got me on a spam mailing list so I make extensive use of gmails +aliasing feature. The email attached to my WS account is the same gmail account but with a different alias attached.
Let's not even go into people using entirely different accounts.	
----
			No items for me either. WildStar support basically told me 'it's not our problem, ask PCGamer' and show me the door (gave me their contacts). However Pc Gamer just ignored me lol XD.

Me, either. I just pm'ed CRB_Sunshine over on Reddit with my email address.
 
I'm pretty PO'ed about this. Frankly, I was already regretting checking that "yes you can give my email address to third-party spammers" check-box before I even hit "send." To do that and then not even get the reward? That pretty much convinces me that none of these spam-sponsored "giveaways" are worth what they cost. I'd rather just by the stuff in the cash shop and give the money directly to Carbine than pay for it with more third-party advertising.
 
It doesn't improve my mood that each consecutive "give-away" asks for more. First it's, "we want to spam you." Then it's "we want permission to sell your info to other spammers." Most recently it was, "And we want to use your Twitch, Twitter, and Facebook feeds to spam your friends at will." I'm feeling like a Rubicon has been crossed. No more "give-aways" for me. Hey marketers? Go listen to what Bill Hicks said about you, please.	
----
			I never received the items.  Will message on reddit today.  Thanks for the update!	
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
I'm hoping PC Gamer isn't ignoring us. I actually voted when the designs came out and I didn't receive the codes then. I didn't care too much about them before, but since this is the second time they are giving them away, I'm hoping to get them this time. What worries me the most is I haven't received any confirmation of signing up for the PC Gamer newsletter or any emails from them. I signed up again today in hopes some kind of notification but the same thing happened happened so far.  :(
----
			yup still waiting around... i messaged her on reddit but no dice so far	
----
			To be honest I'd like to know why the cupcake should I go on reddit to talk with a Carbine's GM/Employee/Something instead of his own home (here)...

----
			
{| class="blockquote"
Because its not Carbine directly that does this promo but PCGamer. The fact that Sunshine is even doing this is a nice gesture from Carbine, and the question arised on Reddit at first too. If anyone should be hold responsible for the possibly mismanaged promo its PCGamer.
----
			This ticks me off, honestly. I got the items a year back and I was glad to see they were going to be given out again to new players. I spread the news on both factions on my server, and no one I know who signed up ever got squat. That makes the game look bad, and it makes me look bad. One thing is for sure, I will not be spreading the word about any new giveaways until I've tested it and got the item(s) myself. Any more of these 'sign up and you'll get it after the sign up window is closed' nope. No spreading the word on the server, no retweets, no reposts. 	
----
			The really odd thing, to me, is that I haven't gotten anything at all.  Like, i get maybe the codes aren't done, but I haven't gotten a PC gamer newsletter or even any spam (and I checked my spam folder and it's the same old same old).	
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
One of the issues is that it is difficult to find out when signups are over. Also, this is becoming an issue since CRB Sunshine told people on reddit to message him if they haven't received the codes yet.
----

----
			
{| class="blockquote"
I can assure you there will be multiple posts on reddit with people stating they got the sword if they handed them out
----
			I signed up to it, but never got a message back from PC Gamer. I'm guessing my e-mail never got on their list.	
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
I'm sure there will be, but this is the only I've seen so far https://www.reddit.com/r/WildStar/comments/3uy344/am_i_the_only_one_who_received_a_rest_in/. I assume they might be sending it in waves, but I'm a bit worried about the lack of people posting about getting the codes vs the number saying they haven't received it. Like even in the threads about not getting the codes, I haven't seen any replies indicating others received these. (As a warning, I didn't completely scour reddit but this is what I've seen so far.)
----
			
To be honest, I signed up (about week ago) on fake email, only to snatch the keys planning to most likely cancel the newsletter right when I get my hands on them so..
 
After all it is free stuff so if we get it cool, if not, we are not actually missing anything.

If someone offered me an ice creme sandwich for free then said "Nope." and didn't give it to me, I'd be pretty pissed off.

Sent the PMs, did the PCGamer things, zero response from anyone.
I am sad cupcake :(	
----
			I am in the same boat as many other not wanting a reddit. Any news on a alternate method of contact? I am going to re submit again.	
----
			Yeah me too, i still got nothing.	
----
			Well, I haven't received any news letter yet either... so if they are starting to spamming me emails before I get the good stuff... then something has to be done.

Update! (sorta)
 
https://www.reddit.com/r/WildStar/comments/3vrzkb/any_updates_on_pcgamer_giveaway_anyone/cxqj6gz
 
CRB_Sunshine has started forwarding our info if we messaged them on reddit. I wish someone would respond here, but as long as they are keeping us updated somewhere, I am happy. 
 
Also if anyone has a twitter account, pestering WildStar and/or PC Gamer there (maybe not Sunshine since they probably have their hands full with reddit) about what's going on with this giveaway could help bring more attention to this issue.

Well I signed up for newsletter.  I have not received any newsletter, nor code.  I have PM'd Sunshine on Reddit, but received no reponse there either (no foul here though, suspect Sunshine's inbox has got to be massively deluged).
 
I don't know how I feel about it.  It's a freebie that I would have enjoyed, but also newsletter spam and I really hate that (though it's easy to get rid of.)  So I dunno.  Currently leaning on "I'd really like the sword model".	
----
			
I'm yet another who has signed up for the email, PM'd Sunshine on Reddit, etc, that hasn't received anything yet either.
 
I however realize that this all seems to be on PC Gamer's end. Note that since the opt into their email service went nobody has seemed to have gotten any emails from PC Gamer whether they relate to Wildstar or not which seems crazy. I (and I think others too) fully expected various emails via PC Gamer to be flooding my inbox as a result of opting into this, but there seems to be no result from doing it as of yet.	
----

They need to really cut this e-mail garbage and just cancel out all the codes given to PCGamer and let players get them directly from Carbine through an in-game event or whatever.
Still nothing obtained here, not even a PC Gamer 'thank you for subbing' message.  How strange O_o	
----
			IMO Carbine needs to drop PC gamer over this *cupcake* practice. Or get off their cookies and send out the codes themselves.	
----
			
Is it just me or can you not find any information about the giveaway at pcgamer anymore?
I tried but found nothing.
Anyway, I sent an email to pcgamer asking them what's happening. I gave them the link to this discussion and said the best would be if one of their official representatives posted a reply here so we get to know what's happening. Otherwise I said that I would post any reply they sent to me so you people get to know.
I told them about people having to contact some person on reddit and even then not getting help.
And I said that as a responsible company one should handle the problem, otherwise people just think their giveaways are some kind of hoax which is bad for them as a company and also bad for wildstar. 
I asked them to give me some kind of reply that they received my email.
Guess it's just wait and see, but at least I tried so.... :/	
----
			
{| class="blockquote"

{| class="blockquote"
There was never any information about it on their website, only the tweet that went out on the official Wildstar Twitter feed. Again, another weird part about it, ie PC Gamer not promoting it.
 
I get the impression that this is something that might not end up happening or that it will end up being a miscomunication thing like "Oh we thought we were going to be able to give away these codes but turns out that wasn't the case." or "After much deliberation we've decided not to make the items available again in order to maintain the posterity of the original items" or whatever.
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
That would be some mighty bad PR
----
			
If PCGamer won't step up to the plate with this then Carbine should do a 24 to 48 hour 'log in and you get it' deal with these items like they did with the last costume they gave away. Or, better yet, they should do the original poll from way back when over again and let us choose the design for another weapon. Everyone who votes would get the Coconut Monkey, Rest in Peacekeeper, and the winning new weapon design (My medic wants her toasters). 
 
C'mon, Carbine, turn this steaming pile of negative into a gleaming stack of positive. 
 
Edit: Heck, make the poll and annual deal we can look forward to. Who wouldn't want to be able to vote on a new weapon design, and then get it free, every year?

Hi Fellas
 
Came from Reddit, just wanted to share my thoughts with you all...
 
This is a total fiasco.
 
Weeks have passed and no newsletter, no response, nothing. In Reddit people have emailed PC-Gamer asking what is going on (myself included) and there has been 0 response. CRB_Sunshine also told us she contacted them with our emails but you guessed it, nothing. What concerns me is that we have all given our emails (which count as personal information) to a company that is essentially holding them hostage and remaining silent. We kept our end of the bargain and signed up, what about you PC-Gamer? 
 
Well fellas, the only thing I can say is: CONTINUE VOICING YOUR CONCERNS! If possible join the Wildstar Sub-Reddit. However if you do not want to join Reddit (which is totally understandable) , you can just visit the page (WS-Sub Reddit) and read over the post related to this situation.
 
Thank you fellas!
 
PS: Carbine please fix this.

I feel the next step is to head to Twitter with the hashtag #WTFailedPCGamer and ask them about the contest.
Get it trending and we may see an immediate response.  You'll see ;)

I'll support you from the sidelines by glaring angrily.
I didn't bother getting a reddit account even when there was the slight chance of getting a code that way so the likelyhood of my getting a twitter account just to complain is approaching zero.

One claims to have signed up when the twitter post went out. I am hoping they are starting to send these out in waves. I am not hoping that they only had a small number of codes available and they didn't bother to let us know that. I am also not hoping that they didn't change their minds because they wanted to keep the exclusivity of the items. If that was the case, they shouldn't have done this giveaway in the first place!
 
I don't mind if they need more time, but an update of any kind would be helpful. This is not making PC Gamer look good and I will not even bother with them next time if they do another giveaway, if this one falls through. 
 
Thanks to posters who are reaching out via Twitter, contacting PC Gamer directly, etc.

			Nope, nothing from PC Gamer and I sent Sunshine my address on reddit and nothing there either. Personally I'm pretty irked that Carbine is putting this all on PC Gamer. It's like they are playing pass the buck. Carbine also promoted it on their Twitter and Carbine sent them the codes. Yeah, maybe PC Gamer scammed us and maybe it's their fault but it all falls back on Carbine to be responsible to their players and subscribers who pay the bills. Fix it. Make it right.

Hey there, we've made our marketing/brand team aware of the issue and they are hopefully in talks with PCGamer to get this resolved ASAP.
As much as CS would like to assist with this issue, we simply do not have access to this promotional data (IE. the distributed keys and emails).
We'll work with brand to find a resolve, and hopefully we'll be able to post some type of update.

This is all on PC Gamer, and there's nothing for Carbine to fix. If PC Gamer are the ones generating the codes and not responding to anyone including Carbine there's not much Carbine can do. 
 
Note that Carbine aren't the ones with the codes, it's PC Gamer. You might just think "well then Carbine should generate the codes & give them out" but that's not a possibility as this is a cross promotional deal.
 
In this situation the blame does fall on PC Gamer whether you think/believe it does or not.

Ok I sent out my tweet.  I hope the rest of you can copy/paste and poke PCGamer with enough tweets to get a response (if nothing else).

It's a promotion that was created sometime ago. It's not something new.
 
Also this isn't a case where the codes are generated by the developer and then given to PC Gamer to give away. That would be an insane process. In fact that's never how these cross promotional deals work. Usually the second party, in this case PC Gamer, is given (or creates) a code generator of their own. I don't know what games you've worked on where you've seen otherwise, but I'm going to guess none.
 
You're upset at Carbine simply because that helps you feel better or makes you feel more validated even though it's completely pointless in the end.
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
Ok Dr. Phil, now that we got your delusional psycho babble out of the way :P . My feelers aren't hurt and i wont be crying in a corner, yes i am annoyed by the lack of information on both sides of the fence; but not going to have a hissy fit over it and start ranting that i am leaving the game etc. So by your first sentence are you trying to state that PCgamer can just relaunch this promotion anytime they want and Carbine had no hand in restarting this promotion that hasn't been around since before the original launch?
----
			
I have not received any reply to my email yet, not even the confirmation that they have received my email that I asked for.
So now we know that this is not an important issue for PCgamer at all, infact they are completely ignoring us.	
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
I was saying that the promotion worked exactly like it did the last time in that it's PC Gamer that gave out and generated the codes and thus crazy to make up something like "Normally codes are generated then given to promotional distributor for the give away." when it's something that's not even true, not in the case of Wildstar, or normally or the majority of the time either. Why state something that's basically a lie as if it were a fact? You're upset at Carbine because you want to be upset at them. PC Gamer doesn't feel like enough of a target to you and/or they're to irrelevant for you to care about thus you want to blame Carbine when there's ultimately nothing they can do about the situation. 
 
Yes Carbine is technically part of the promotion as it has to do with their product but do you seriously believe they thought this situation would happen, especially when it's basically just redoing something that already happened before.
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
however if they are not willing to provide any details/ETA on when this will be resolved the next step in the chain is to get Carbine to sort out the mess.

Did anyone see anything advertised on PC Gamer's end? I've never followed PC Gamer so I have no idea, but Carbine did endorse this giveaway on twitter at least. That's the reason I'm focused on getting help from Carbine. Cirinde thankfully provided some contact info for PC Gamer at least.
 
Even if Carbine can't do anything about it, maybe this will make them think twice about doing business with PC Gamer if they don't deliver on the codes.	
----
			
I'm not sure if this will help, but it couldn't hurt.
The first time they sent out the codes it came from an email titled "Your PC Gamer Coconut Monkey is here!" sent from "offers@email-wildstar-online.com" just in  ase anyne wanted to do a search through their mailbox to be sure. It probably won't be of much help, but I figured I'd at least try...wish I could do more to help you folks out.

			Check your e-mails.  I just got it a few minutes ago.  The email came from future@mail.myfavoriteitemsmagazine.co.uk, so make sure to check your spam folder (which is where mine ended up).

Here I was going to complain that the Massively OP giveaway worked without hitch while this one didn't when the mail arrives at my inbox.
 
I'm still less than impressed by the way the PC Gamer giveaway was handled, though.	
----
			Can confirm. I've also received the mail now.	
----
			It's a winterfest miracle	
----
			I got it as well :)	
----
			
Finally!
 
 
Now Carbine, get the Triton costume into the store so I can throw my money at you! :D	
----
			Thank you Papa Phineas Q_Q. Got it too

If you are using gmail, make sure to check all the tabs. It didnt pop up in the main folder for me but was in "campaigns" tab.
 
Got me until I just looked around a little. Stupid gmail..
 
 
 
Paint skills I know.. :D
----
			Good thing I checked my spam folder...	
----
			Got it. (gonna ditch work to claim it on my account >.> dont tell my boss) *Cough cough* I think i got a winter chill	
----
			
Yes! Finally got mine!.
 
I use Gmail and didn't see it anywhere, so I ended up just searching "wildstar" in everythign and found it buried away.
 
While the amount of time it took was awful, I'm super excited to finally get that sword!!
 
EDIT:
 
 
Checked my other Gmail account - was in the promotions tab.

You should be able to turn that off somewhere, if you don't want to use tabs. I know I did way back when because the tab feature is useless to me.
----
			
Can confirm that i got mine too. Yay! Finally. Winterfest Miracle!  :D

			Glad to see people are getting their items finally. 	
----
			
Received mine today. It was in my spam folder but I got it.
 
Make sure to check your spam everyone.	
----
			
Good to hear the codes are being sent out!
 
So far I haven't received anything and I'm getting really scared that this will be the second time I missed out. I've been going crazy checking my email. I suppose I'll wait like a week and hope I finally get it.	
----
			I got mine today as well. It was in the Spam folder but that was easily corrected. Not sure where the disconnect in this giveway was or who fixed it, PCGamer or Carbine's Marketing Dept. but thank you for finally resolving the issue.	
----
			
Still nothing for me. T_T I've checked my spam and even checked if I inadvertently blocked PC Gamer.
 
Has anyone else not received it yet or is it just me? Also, anyone know who I should contact about this?

			Yeah, I never received mine either ): but I'm glad the majority of you guys did get the email	
----
			Friend in the game got theirs yesterday or the day before. Maybe they're still coming?

I decided to apply the code that was generously donated to me, just because I'm paranoid about PC Gamer not delivering on mine. I noticed when I applied the code, there was a date range between Dec 19th-Jan 1st. I'm wondering if it's a timeline to redeem the codes or not. 
 
Anyway, even though I don't like using reddit, I was going to make a thread about not receiving a code from PC Gamer because that's the only place that will get a response on this issue. I've been lurking on reddit and I learned there's a few of us who haven't received anything. Not only that, I'm not the only one who hasn't received anything from PC Gamer twice. I'm gonna wait until Monday though because I want to increase the chance a Dev sees it. I hate to be the kind of person who makes threads for attention, but I really do feel that this is an important issue.
 
I'm kinda hoping there's nothing I want from any future PC Gamer giveaways because the only way I'll get it is if I make a deal with someone else for an extra code. I've participated in about 4 giveaways for WildStar and PC Gamer is the only one that hasn't delivered.

Just as another FYI: I received a PC Gamer newsletter today (about 13 hrs ago), the subject was "Game of the Year awards, the best gaming monitors, and more"
 
That could serve as an indication whether you've ever made it onto their mailing list.
I certainly hope all of you who are still waiting get their codes, be it through PC Gamer or intervention from Carbine because this thing is just screaming "illconceived giveaway" and isn't good PR for any party involved.

Another update! I got in touch with CRB_Sunshine on Reddit and she gave me an email to contact PC Gamer directly that isn't the general feedback one. If anyone on here still hasn't received anything, please email them at Contests@PCGamer(dot)com. Replace the (dot) with an actual period, I just don't want a bunch of spam to get sent their way. Anyway, I'll update this thread if I get a response from them.
 
Also, I made a Reddit thread about this as well: https://www.reddit.com/r/WildStar/comments/3xqmv1/has_anyone_else_still_not_received_the_rest_in/. Hasn't gotten much traction since most people got the keys already, but as you see, some had terrible luck with this as well.	
----
			I sent a letter to the contests(at)pcgamer(dot)com address 5 days ago and haven't heard anything back yet. This is really aggravating. I've missed out on the sword through both giveaways after applying to both and they won't even respond to me.

			If anyone has an extra code that would be great. I just wanted to warn you that you might be in for a wait. I expect they will respond at some point.

			Any news on this front? Still nothing from PCGamer and i haven't found anyone with an extra code :/  Looks like my mspaint skills are not good enough heh.	
----
			I got mine, how lame. Thought this would be a skin never to be released again. What sell-outs.

I think I've been patient enough now, so I'm gonna conclude I just won't receive anything ever from PC Gamer. I just wanted to update this thread one more time to say that those of us who haven't received anything will likely continue to not receive anything. 
 
On that note, it would be nice to have a list of people who tend to get extra goodies from PC Gamer for those of us with terrible luck. It would just be nice to have someone to contact since it's unlikely that they will ever acknowledge my participation in any of their WildStar giveaways. I'll still continue to sign up for PC Gamer goodies, but it's mostly research purposes to keep track of how much I never receive anything from them.
