All you need is a computer and a facebook account. I have not downloaded the app yet, so I can't tell you what the process is for getting the hoodie or any other rewards that they hinted about with that app.

Is the bot builder still live? Or do I need to wait for it to rotate in again?

Also... I didn't get the Wardrobe Wars Sneakers, although I uploaded a pic of myself around 2pm pacific. Anyone else have this trouble?

Finally, agreed, I simply can't get logged into the Star Wars event.

Bot builder looks like you may have to wait until next cycle i think the 26th?

Sneakers - in the rules i read i think it said something along the lines of limited numbers of prizes are available i do believe its like 300 for the daily rewards available so possibly what happened is you arrived after the daily amount was already distributed. Try to get there early to make sure i suppose.

And about the star wars promo digital nitrate was nice enough to post the facebook for the contest but even then, you can dl the app, but not get the text with the code needed for redeem. I feel your pain on that one :(

Any idea when the day resets for Wardrobe Wars?

On Wednesday I uploaded my pic around 10pm EST but didn't receive the sneakers. The next day I uploaded around 9:15pm EST and got them. I'm happy to get the reward but I'm disappointed in how this works. Hardly anybody dresses for the theme and the voting seems to be poorly designed. I'll keep trying though.

P.S. I heard that a clown won yesterday

If you think about it, they are probably getting over a million submissions, and in no way is it possible for everyone to have a chance to see let alone vote on every pic - and with only one winner a day, it's basically just a lottery, so I wouldn't sweat it. Just post a few images, and of you get lucky, great, but with less than a one in a million chance at winning, I certainly wouldn't expect to win. Instead, I just find it fun to casually check out some of the interesting avatars people have made.

Besides, the rewards for the daily and even the weekly winner isn't nearly as nice as most of the 29 freebies, so it's really just a tiny bonus for who ever gets picked out of all those submissions.

We're not trying to win the contest, just tossing around ideas on why the 'participation' reward wasn't issued. You'd think that would go to everyone...

I'd rather get the vest and the dress for free over the 29 items, but that's just me. But I'm not going to bother with this contest because it's ridiculous anyway. An inefficient and unfair voting system? Pass.

I'm confused... did you read the quote I was responding to? Ren_Echo pretty clearly said they got the participant reward (sneakers), but was disappointed in how the contest works and that hardly anybody dresses for the theme and the voting seems to be poorly designed, and that they said that they'll keep trying...

So I was offering some insight on how the contest works, and why it really doesn't matter what the theme is regarding who will win each contest, and based on the odds of winning, not to get their hopes up, and instead just enjoy some of the funny and interesting submissions.


As for the participant reward, yes, everyone who participates should get them, and most appear to have gotten them without any problems, but some have - possibly due to a HDD data recording error - but this is a known issue and based on the thread about it in the official Home Support forum, it appears those that didn't get it before, got it the next time.

If you are still unable to get the sneakers, you may want to let them know in that thread.

I'm curious, what voting system would work fairly with hundreds of thousands if not millions of submissions?

Since I already have the bot award, I cannot tell if it's still available. Nobody else seems to be missing it when I'm there. LOCKY, the Lockwood space text greeter has said there's an animated reward everyday, though.

One way to check to see if Star Wars is working is to find the Jedi lurking behind the game. If you approach him, you should see a game launch prompt. If there's no prompt, the game isn't available, and you'll have the greyed-out play button when you attempt to activate the game kiosk. Leave and reload the space or warp to another phase of the space where a friend is. If you go 7 for 10 on the game, it unlocks an outfit that hardly seems worth the effort.

Yea when it said You have been awarded Brisk Phantom Menace costume I was like sweet, maybe a jedi or sith costume, that would be sweet. Then saw it was just a guy with bangs in a Brisk hoodie that is rather plain and has nothing to do with Star Wars whatsoever.

Wardrobe Wars is now available on the 2nd Floor Mall, too. It's even laggier than 1st Floor, if you can get the space to even download. There's another free loot kiosk in the same spot (between Konami & Mass Media on this floor). It'll probably be invisible like the 1st Floor one is from time to time. I've tried to access it several times, but it responds Download Failed.

Well, I believe there should be at least ONE that works better than what we have right now. But if you want suggestions, then alright. 1) Remove the usernames so it doesn't become a popularity contest. 2) Each user gets one vote. 3) Each user can submit only one picture. Tada.

4) User cannot vote for themselves lol.

Yes, you were right, it popped for me when I showed up today.

Seems to be for Iphone only. Lame.

If there is a million people that visit PS Home I would be surprised. So do these participation items ever change as I noticed it saying that it was still the male shoes today.

I dl the app it works for android too, but I don't know how to get home rewards
