I don't think they are on the same exact servers. I would imagine all of their game servers are in the same location and a switch broke. That's why all three Cryptic games went down.

Ah, well that makes more sense. From what I've heard only the chat engine on STO and Neverwinter shares resources, probably the reason why people that are on NW can comunicate through the chat with us while we play STO.
Entirely filled slot 2 and 3 with doffs, and most of the security ones, burnt through about 300k FC, but found my other ferasan also had 300k FC to burn too! So next round I can dump all that in! So save your FC's till I run out =^.^=!

i saw that last night while i was browsing the forums waiting for the game to come back up...doesn't really affect me, because i only use the foundry for loot farming now, and i can get my cap with one mission
I find this ridiculous. I liked when the rewards scaled with mission length. With that system, the 2-3 hour roleplay missions actually became worth doing for once (:rolleyes:).
I find this ridiculous. I liked when the rewards scaled with mission length. With that system, the 2-3 hour roleplay missions actually became worth doing for once (:rolleyes:).
well, the rewards still scale with mission length, but people were exploiting that scalability by creating tons of clickie missions that basically allowed you to go AFK and come back 20 minutes later to collect on all those missions, allowing someone doing that for a few hours to basically max out that character's dilithium ore limit...which is why cryptic put in the stopgap, and also partially why dil prices have been rising so much so quickly lately
A normie goes "Oh, what's this?"
An otaku goes "UwU, what's this?"
A furry goes "OwO, what's this?"
A werewolf goes "Awoo, what's this?"
"It's nothing personal, I just don't feel like I've gotten to know a person until I've sniffed their crotch." "We said 'no' to Mr. Curiosity. We're not home. Curiosity is not welcome, it is not to be invited in. Curiosity...is bad. It gets you in trouble, it gets you killed, and more importantly...it makes you poor!"

They are going to do that anyway no matter what Cryptic does. Does anyone remember the one-click completes missions ("SF Academy Broken Console," or "Insult The Prophets")? You can change it all you want, but no matter what the parameters get changed to, authors will just find a new way to exploit it, or bring back old exploits if they of any are relevancy. The only way to eliminate this is to get rid of Foundry entirely, which will never happen, nor would I wish it to. So, the best thing to do is just leave the rewards set to scale with time, or bring back one-clicks, and leave it that way.
tl;dr version: People are going to exploit no matter what the parameters, so Cryptic just needs to get used to it.
Also, I don't believe this had anything to do with Zen prices. The reason for the rise in Dilithium Exchange prices is because of the rush to amass as much Zen as you can so you can buy all the new Romulan ships when LoR comes out. A month after LoR comes out, the new will wear away, and Dilithium Exchange will fall again.
the upcoming romulan content was part of it, as was the CE event, but most of it was because thousands of people were hitting their character's MAXIMUM ore capacity in just a few hours...that means they had their day's refinement for the next several years; no more need to buy zen for dil for those players, and in fact they were flooding the market with all of that excess...throw that on top of the CE event, and suddenly dilithium becomes a nearly worthless resource again
of course, now that cryptic has banned most if not all of those exploiters, the market should start slowly dropping again, then drop sharply a few weeks after LoR

Congrats and thank you to all the Shadowcats & friends that joined up for my spontaneous (three hour long) run of the classic six STFs on elite, in order. I am now up to 299 successful STFs, once HSE is two-manned I will get the Medal of Honor.
Speaking of that, the two-man HSE is tomorrow (might be today for some of you). The spectator reservation list is closed and I'm not accepting any more. The STF will be filmed by Bob, while Kess and I spend likely 1-2 hours in a Jem'hadar dreadnought carrier shootout of epic proportions! :eek:

I look forward to it. I plan on two videos:
Play-by-play
Music Video
Part of my STF fun tonight was me testing camera angles.

NEWS: maintenance pushed back til 8 pm Pacific, 11 PM EST. It'll last four hours, so if we're going to do this we gotta get it started ASAP.
Then we may want to push it back. I don't want to rush it and It'll be another two hours before I can get on (family obligation).

Hm, we'll wait as long as we can for you. I think we'll be able to do it in less than two hours, but obviously life isn't exact, so if you don't get on in time, that's that.
EDIT: For some reason or another, a math fail on my part or a incorrect post time on the forums led me to believe that you might get back on about two hours before the maintenance. Once the real time of posting was figured out, apparently we'll have maybe an hour. I doubt that's enough time to do HSE. We'll have to see as we go along.

Well, I'll need an hour just to make sure we are set up audio-wise. I want all five of us to be able to talk. Basically, I'll host while the other two watchers provide color commentary. You and your partner will provide info when asked. If the maintenance was any other night...
