    Are you sure that time converter is right for Romania (Bucharest time) ?
    If the last maintenance were at the same time (7-9 am PDT) the server went down at 14:00 pm not 17:00.
    From what i've read on that website,Romania (Bucharest) is -7 hours behind PST which would mean 14:00 pm Bucharest = 7:00 am PST ?
    Kinda confusing these time zones,but, anyways ,hope this time the maintenance would last 2 hours and not 6 or 8 :D
    Thanks.

    The maintenance will begin in 6 hours and 24 minutes from right now.

    I am not sure why a stability patch is happening in the morning, don't they normally happen at Midnight PST? Can't help but think maybe Season Seven!

    My guess would be framework for the season launch later this month. Branflakes has already said several times that Season will not be released this week. If I recall correctly Cryptic gave a three days notice on the Season 6 holodeck launch. As for the patching time, the Thursday morning patches are usually accompanied by account server maintenance. At that time both Champions Online and Star Trek Online are both down.

    Thank you very much majortiraomega. That means 16:00 pm my time , so it's not 17:00 because we've recently (October, 28) changed our Daylight time with -1 hour and switched on the "winter hour time".
    Thanks.

    (right now my clock is 9:41 am) :)

    Heh neh, in fact, it was dropped during an already epic downtime. Even during the patch window DStahl posted basically they didn't even know if they were gonna drop S6 at that point (and eventually did of course but it wasn't made known until towards the end of the downtime).

    Nope. Definitely sooner than soon(tm).

    Cheers,

    Brandon =/\=

    Please please with whipped cream on top can the non-US players get a more convenient notice this time?

    If the notice goes up in 'your' late afternoon that 'tomorrow' during the current usual downtime it equals for me that the notice goes up somewhere around 2am and the server goes down close after lunch. Which makes it rather difficult to do some last minute adjustments (i.e. I don't have decided yet if I cash in my borg salvage or not). :P

    Come what may. I cashed in all my Borg salvage. Brought me over 200'000 of unrefined dilithium. I don't trust this obscure transformation of all Borg stuff in season 7 and the decreasing returns depending on how much savage you've stored. It's definetly the best decision to convert it. Especially if you have a lot of tech on your bank.

    While you're taking the surfer down, could you also please make all cutscenes skippable? Would be a very small tweak and easily doable during a meowntenance.

    Season 7 is coming, and from what I see on Tribble its going to be really nice.

    Now without any further spoilers , we have waited this long.... lets leave the developers to release it when they deem it stable enough for publication.

    I for one would rather wait and get a bug free S7 launch then make it launch sooner but have the server go down every day for an emergency fixit patch.

    And server stability issues are always good, especially since I have been getting a lot of lag lately from Holodeck (tribble seems fine) .
    Let us wear Swimsuits on Foundry maps or bridges please! I would pay zen for that.

    EDIT: Found it on Youtube. Hahaha, manufacture 18 redshirts in a minute. The song is very well made and quite funny. Maybe you could talk your colleagues into slipping the song into the season 7 patch notes. I can see it now "Added a new song to Infected Ground Elite" :D.

    That was hilarious! Very well done Brandon! Have a cookie! :D

    I've never seen a company more determined NOT to provide a release date for it's content for it's player base. Every MMO I've ever played provided release dates for their new content, especially large chunks such as an Expansion or the CoH Issues. It just doesn't make sense to me to keep your player base in the dark while you loom a 100% complete change of an entire system used by people daily over there heads. To me it's just seems asinine and childish.

    fiberteksyfir. Is correct. The Release Notes were posted less than an hour before the server came up. So they will put it on there. It is just a question as to whether they "flip the switch" or not.

    There are a few hints that show season 7 is launching today.

    It's the Thursday after a Tribble Test Weekend.
    They never announce the launch until maintenance is almost complete.
    The Tribble build is still full of bugs.
    Bran Farts is more full of "fiber" than usual.

    There you have it! Prepare for the incoming mess that will probably crash the servers at least once this weekend, if not more.

    People keep saying this is S7 hitting Holodeck. It's not, right?

    After looking at "SW: TOR's" free to play limitations, "Star Trek: Online" has absolutely nothing to worry about.
    A date will be revealed soon.

    Are we talking about a "Duke Nukem Forever" type of soon or a "within the near future" type of soon?

    Again, it's not launching today. Like, really.

    A date will be revealed when we're ready to share it and say "yep, it's scheduled for this day" -- we should be ready to share it very soon. Maybe even share it today :D

    The UTC time was incorrect. The team corrected it (the PDT time was correct) and plans are still looking good for the shard to be up in about an hour.

    Ok I will accept that this is not today I hope everyone else does as well I think its to soon for them to realise this but bradon in the past with S6 you did say one thing and another was patched the same day. So trick me once trick me twice but on the 3rd people might not trust what you say.
