    Maybe that also helps with
    • STF bugs
    • Tailor bugs
    • Map loading bugs
    • Mission bugs
    • etc

    One can hope, right?

    I just love how people are such complainers... id be willing to bet that the majority of you people that sit here and pretty much demand that they fix things NOW don't even know what it takes to 1) find the bug in the code 2) figure out how and why its there (what caused it) 3) remove it and 4) make sure its gone and wont happen again....

    That process takes ALOT of work....

    So just be patient and relax and they will get to your precious bug fixes as soon as the debugging team or programmers or whoever debugs the game gets to them and removes them...

    and before I see a post about this next thing I just want to say... you are as bad as the World of Warcraft players who think its the end of the world when the servers go down.... just chill.. its all part of MMO gaming.... the world isn't gonna come to an end... just step back, take a break, go to the bathroom, get a drink and/or something to eat, and maybe read some of a book or something and be patient... the server will come back up in no time and you wont even realize how much time has gone by....

    I aint complaining and I probably wont be the last to say it but, there are bugs in the game that are still there from beta testing. That's not a complaint just a fact.

    hopefully the stability means those of us who's routers are being reset by the game will no longer have this problem, again, not a complaint just a hope.

    Considering how much $TO derps on itself when the game population gets too high, general server stability improvements is very much welcomed.

    Im personally hoping "General server stability improvements" in someway fixes the search bugs with the exchange. I know it wont, but I can still hope.

    agreed. very much agreed. I would blame the f2p people, but they're not the ones who structured the servers...
    besides, I have alt accounts that are f2p, so I'd have to blame myself as well.
    If two hours makes the game more playable, I'm for it.

    Absolutly, i annoys me when i guess hes a new player who hasn't been playing that long dont realise people complain about bugs not cause its takeing them a few weeks to fix but bugs that are 6 months to 2 years old so know the who story before you complain about the complainers

    I'm usually at work, class, asleep, or doing work on the side; fortunately I avoid most of the downtime. :)

    And it absolutely annoys me when people complain in general. If you wish to bring something to the attention of people that is one thing, but to keep whining and beating the dead horse is completely ridiculous. Yes this game has a lot of bugs however the devs are working at not just fixing t he bugs but bringing new content, and new story lines. The solution is a very simple if you can not play without complaining or whining than just go play at another ftp game, or go to a pay game.

    Some horses deserve to be beaten as long as it takes. Cloak bug? Team disband bug? Female Caitians and armor visuals?

    Did you consider the daily complaints about the Voldemort exploit in the forums beating a dead horse?

    And just what pray tell is the incessant whining going to accomplish, absolutely nothing. What I consider beating a dead horse is the constant whining about the server being down, the crying that they better start fixing things, etc..etc.. If people dont like it nor have the patience than they need to go on and find a better game for them. Something that they will be able to play and actually enjoy. If all you can do is whine than you are obviously not enjoying this game, and you are making the game unpleasant for others.

    people love whining on forums when their game is down whether they pay or not. geez. I love sto as much as anyone else that plays, but I do know it is a mere game. Damn you cryptic for making something as an mmo like WoW but with my favorite sci fi series... At least with WoW, there's a possibility I would get bored and take breaks (not counting maintenance). joking aside, bugs and all, I freaking love this game. I almost wish they'd dedicate more time in one day (say Tuesday) to do all the work needed instead of two hours here and there. It would be much more efficient for everyone to wait six hours a week in one day rather than three chunks of two hour periods. also, I'm going to say they need separate realms where the populace can be handled. characters created on realm a can't log to realm b, c, d, etc. but the server cluster load would lessen.
    just my thoughts on this issue. It's not just the "Quality of the servers" or the techs, it's the structure of the system, and until now, they haven't had enough people to justify multiple realms. Well, the day has come, and I hope it's in the works. Until then, I shall be faithfully playing because I love the game and I love my fleet. Black Watch ftw.

    NEWS FLASH!!!!

    Complaining about the complainers, makes you... A COMPLAINER!!!

    As Customers (former, current), we are entitled to a certain level of complaints. You and anyone reading said complaints, are fully entitled to ignore it.

    Sometimes, the complaints actually bring the glitches and bug to the attention of the admin. Bug reports don't always go answered.
