    Can we have some in-game warning next time...? This post was posted at 10PM and the server shut down at 11PM... that is like next to no notice or chance of knowing, and there was no server announcements, I wouldn't of went into an Elite STF if I knew this was going to happen 15 minutes after I entered -.-'

    lol, I'm just loving all these "What the hell, why no ingame message" posts.

    The entire in game population is going to come pouring on the forums screaming for an explanation.

    Yeah.

    This caught me just about to queue for a fleet event.

    You're not the only one, dude. We ALL got booted. Seems this is another one of Cryptics famous "un-scheduled emergency server maintenance" right after a major patch.

    You have a test server, test the damn patches so we don't have zero-warning server shutdowns.

    Thanks for the launcher warning on today's "scheduled" maintenance.

    oh thanks, umm... if you're going to do this with only a 1 hour notice next time, could you have the foresight for an in-game warning next time please thank you?

    That's that sense-making talk. Better be careful, don't want to blow their minds.

    Meh missed it. They do give in-game notice though at other times x.x didn't see any today. I mean not everyone reads the forums every day :-/.... a man can get lost in forums.... consumed by forums... :P

    Yes, they decided to 'warn' everyone on the forums an hour before it went down. I didn't see any in-game messages. This is irritating. . .I don't mind downtime, but I prefer to have ample notification so I don't get yanked out of the game while in the middle of changing a ship's build.

    I never saw a warning for it. I know everyone who has won a Tholian ship, but not server maintenance. :mad:

    I guess with PWE and Craptic at the helm, we should now just expect that patch day really means double patch day

    The Test Server requires people to actually play on it and that only happens when they are promised free items like the new Season Test weekends otherwise it's a ghost town.

    Yea I was wondering what happened. I thought I got disconnected. An in-game notice would have been nice. I wasted couple seconds trying to log back in lol.

    check the patch notes, it was some vague sounding BS they made up to basically say "we screwed up the first patch, fixing it with another"

    What? No warning in game? I was defeating the boss of Infected Ground when the server shut down. Nobody will give me my lost dilithium and rewards, at least I would receive apologies.

    Very poor on the Dev's for such short or "NO" notice. just logged in and there wasn't even a warning on the launcher. I hope you improve your service in future.
