Trying to log in. I get the "Trying to update the launcher. Please be patient. Tried connection a billion times." Been through that 4 tries, now. Time is now 10:15 EST. Have been trying for 20 minutes. Is anyone else having this problem.

Looking at Warframe for comparison, Digital Extremes would have already announced knowledge of the problem within minutes, had a team in the office fixing the issue, -and- be giving out high end alert rewards as an apology for the downtime. Yes, on a weekend.

I'm not sorry if I expect you to do your job, delicate flower. I work on weekend all the time because when I make a commitment, I stand to it. They can work on the weekend a couple times.

Minor bugs and whatever are minor, but not being able to get into the game at all? That is total failure on their part.

Hyperbole is grand. Actually looked it up, the only thing DE did was say they would work through the night and their acknowledgement of an issue didn't occur within minutes. And they didn't give alert rewards they compensated people for time sensitive things;

Still, that all sounds pretty awesome compared to what we get.

Yeah, I'm sure finding this guy is the FBI's top priority
Probably not, last I heard they were terrorist hunting.
Actually both STO and Neverwinter are rather good money makers for Sony and Hasbro. That would warrant a lot of cops kicking down doors.

Well they had the bright idea to use a website interface to make calls, anyone could go there and make free relay calls.
Well one kid had me call a number and a woman answered, the kid then proceeded to say vulgar things after i did the "Operator Here, this is a relay call, When finished speaking say Go Ahead". and eventually after about ten minutes I went "Operator here, ma'am this is a prank call apparently, check on your kids", and heard a door open and saw "isht" on the text interface and heard this kid's mom read him the riot act. She apologized for him wasting the time for a service that was used to help people.
One time someone prank called 911, and by law I had to resolve the IP and give the 911 operator the address.
I would have loved to see the faces on that kid's parents.
He will regret this. He might think its all haha fun fun...but he wont be laughing so hard when he is sharing a prison shower with a fat redneck named Jim Bob Bob and the soap gets dropped.
Screwing with big companies gets you in deep s***.
*EXPLANATION!* Hasbro is involved via Neverwinter, Sony owns CBS which in turn owns Star Trek and Perfect World owns Cryptic.

That's only a cherry picked bunch of things, all of which are supporting my argument. But they also often put up reactor, catalyst, and/or Forma alerts for a few hours after any sort of DDoS or service interruption.
I can't remember the last time CO players received like, even a direct acknowledgment of service issues in our own channels, let alone nice (and admittedly totally unnecessary) compensation for loss of playtime due to service interruptions.
I suppose by now I should have zero standards when it comes to communications and just not acknowledge our lack of them with our devs now, since we're going on several years with only intermittent change on that front. But it would be nice to have that stuff on a regular basis, you know?
A simple CO Tweet of: 8:00pm EST: "Hey guys, we're currently experiencing service interruptions, launcher and login servers are down. We're working to figure it out."
Could help to maybe not have the toxic seepage spread so quickly from our desiccated veteran corpses.

Good means I dont need to change my password for a least a month . You should always change your password after an attack just to make sure even if its only a DDoS.

Sounds like paranoia, it's not.

People think it's pessimistic to always think of the possibilities and take them into consideration, I say that's how I have way less terrible stupidity stories than all of my friends.
WHAT?
Now, if your Stockholm syndrome were as advanced as everyone else's, you might not mind that Cryptic is okay with putting in the effort to nerf a mechanic that's been static for 2 - 3 years even though no other corresponding mechanics have, or will, change accordingly to compensate, but they won't break a multi-year silence to post a Facebook status update saying the game is down and they're fixing it. You expect them to Tweet? Why? It's not like it's someone's healthy breakfast with an egg white omelet and wheat bread toast, or something.
