    FINALLY a fix for the EP 607 drone. Main reason I never used it on my Drone Master was because of that particular issue. Thank You Bug Team! You guys deserve more praise than you get on these forums.

    If it is still hugging up next to me...I won't use it. Creepy thing.

    Yes, but also don't forget that it took years until that fix. It's really weird, the item was basically unusable from the moment it was in the game and was only fixed now. Is that an indicator how long the queue of issues is? Maybe a few more employees squishing bugs are something to consider 😕

    Ahlala, that's too bad! Echo Papa 607 could have made it to the 2-year milestone before being fixed! That's very sad to see it fail so close and miss the platinum medal of dishonor!

    Seriously, while a fix is welcome, at last, that's still nearly 2 years this item has been broken.

    And since it was released during Escalation and the release of the Competitive Wargames, players who used it while playing them got to see how incredibly annoying this bug was (and with any portion of the game that require you to move fast, whether it's escaping a weapon range or avoiding a OHK attack). Especially since you couldn't make the drone go away to recover your running ability.

    They disappear after the Event is over as they constantly revert back to pre-Event Store when shutting down the Event. Never learn.

    I have the 607 and i am happy this is gonna get fixed. Its annoying for this to be broke but finally its fixed.
  • hivercidehivercide Member Posts: 67 Arc User
    Wait, that was a bug? I thought it was a feature....

    But seriously, while I have been aware of the slowdown effect, and it drove me crazy while it was going on, I had no idea at all that it was caused by the Drone. I've been using those drones on almost every one of my characters since they first came out. I guess I've learned something new today. :expressionless:

    Good bug fixes. Also, to those asking about the bug issues, Cryptic is trying to hire a QA person for STO. Look at the Cryptic Studios website. Right now there are 19 job postings in that company. They should fix the in-game reporting bug so tickets show up like they used to so that there are various ways to report a bug and not just through the Arcgames website and these forums. Thanks. :)

    Pushed back an hour after being down an hour extra as it is .. :( disappointing.
  • captaincelestialcaptaincelestial Member Posts: 1,925 Arc User
    I think only one character of mine had the Echo Pappa, so I didn't notice it much (I thought the no run bug was just a fluke, my bad :blush: ). I'm glad it's fixed :)

    Game is down for maintenance an average of 3 hours a week, it's not nearly that bad.
    Insert witty signature line here.

    PC Maintenance is now complete! Thanks for your patience and we'll see you in game!

    The anniversary event will be briefly switched off, but is not gone forever and will return for the extension.

    I remember back in the days of WoW vanilla my chosen could be either totally down or so laggy/unstable that it was effectly unplayble and I don't mean some rubber banding at active locations, I mean slide show at even at locations where there were not that many players.

    LOL! You did that?

    I was trying to figure out that other thing about refresh screens......then noticed:
    Hey I can clear closed threads with a refresh...that is weird.

    Don't worry, I am in the game turning around contraband and the Omega crafting blah stuff, now.

    First City looks empty without Q and his giant dancers. LOL!
