It would have been "clearly visible" if the update wasn't due at the time that you logged in or if you had applied it prior to the gift message being published. Otherwise, the update message would have been displayed over the top of the gift message. Maybe you should look a little outside your experiences and accept that, for others, it might have been somewhat different.
Wise word's.
My experience of this is:
Indeed, Sooooo many patch's recently that unless you logged in hourly it was easy to miss whatever I missed as well. All I saw was the one about claim your gift from the 22nd. From in my books means after and including the aforementioned period of measurement that is referenced after the from; Which is correct beyond that aspect that it in no way detailed how to pick such gift of choice and also was completely lacking in any reference to some popup that apparently was there but like most was applying a automatic client update and had NFI it was ever there in the first place. Given how the two implants were handed out it does seem a bit of utter SNAFU on CCP's part and could of been handeled alot better, especialy given HOW many updates recently. CCP in competition with Valves TeamFortress2 to see how many updates they can push in a week as I think they may actualy be winning currently.

All I could get was the implant thing. I assume it was the same way you get any promotional item, but it never showed me a holiday gift option.
*Added*
I read the holiday gift page and am now sure I was never presented an option to select a gift. There was obviously a bug. I know I was unable to select the implant gift until I logged in, because I hadn't logged in to claim the other implant from a couple weeks earlier. It kept letting me redeem the implant gift but the option never disappeared. I don't know if it is all related or this is just a specific issue for me.
No idea were said option was and I logged in daily, though it has been pointed out that this was a once only displayed banner login item and with the number of patch's recieved recently that it was very possible that you missed the banner display due to patch's popping up. Not sure of the exact date/time this banner appeared initialy for logins and when the last patch was but it certianly clashed for more than CCP would of liked so drop a petition to them about it. |
