    Make sure to patch up Tribble while Holodeck is down -- jump in-game on Tribble and head to Drozana. EP Daniel Stahl will be doing a special Anniversary Q&A! :)

    Cheers,

    Brandon =/\=

    Patching up Tribble now... I hope the Q&A will be posted (in full) for those of us who may not see it in time.

    EDIT: And on a completely unrelated note, this was apparently my #666th post in "Forums 2.0" :)

    Funny that anything 'star trek' and 'reboot' are becoming synonymous with each other.

    How do you get on the test server?
    There is about as much water on Earth now as there was three billion years ago. But while the amount of water has remained static, the amount of tequila and Triple Sec available for the making of Margaritas has expanded enormously. So you see, we have made progress after all. ~Anonymous

    Most likely, the "emergency" is that the devs did not anticipate the lag that 10,000 balloons on ESD could cause.

    Make balloons last for only 3 seconds, perhaps? And limitation of 1 balloon per person - don't ask for more :P

    I'm posting this from my phone, so I can't get in-game, but I've asked a few to send me the chat text so I can parse through it and try and pull out the answers. If anyone else does, feel free to PM me and I can credit you when posted.

    Cheers,

    As a ATI card user, I don't have any lag probs caused by Balloons. I checked a cpl of ppl and all of them have a nVidea card....

    It says I have no characters in STO to transfer to Tribble!?

    Probably because the shard is down.

    So much for Drozana, I'll be catching up in SWTOR instead.

    Sounds like a question from a Dev. ;)

    So I've just came back to STO this week. I've not complained thus far about all the downtimes, even when EVERY time I've tried to log-in the week either the launcher was down or maintenance was going on.

    It's Friday night and was hoping to get some time on but AGAIN the game is down. This is beyond ridiculous now, seriously.

    Is this really all because of the party poppers? Wow. I was online a few hours ago and wasn't having any problems with the amount being spammed on ESD.

    Thanks. Will it be posted here, or in another thread?

    "Critics who say that the optimistic utopia Star Trek depicted is now outmoded forget the cultural context that gave birth to it: Star Trek was not a manifestation of optimism when optimism was easy. Star Trek declared a hope for a future that nobody stuck in the present could believe in. For all our struggles today, we haven’t outgrown the need for stories like Star Trek. We need tales of optimism, of heroes, of courage and goodness now as much as we’ve ever needed them."

    What is that? FOUR times this week?

    Three times today! (I think - 2 at least!)

    I rejoined the paying subs a couple of days ago... Starting to regret it! LOL!

    Oh...looks like the tribble powering the wheel that makes the sto server work ate too much again - off to the vets to get its stomach pumped, eh?

    Maybe its time to upgrade to Targ inside? :D

    Will somebody be taking notes for the rest of us who may not be able to make it or are not willing to face the balloon spam?

    Ever notice the banner on the bottom of the home page suggesting NVidia is the card to play on, yet the card with the most issues? Just sayin' ...

    They just need to disable them they were fun at first now they are annoying and as many have stated causes to much lag.

    If everyone would reduce the number of physics object in the options menu from default 100 to zero the balloons forums spam would be zero from 100 ,but for that you need people who actually know how to use a PC and complain less.

    Totally stupid idea to restart during a Mirror Incursion.
    I was waiting all day for that event so I could make RA lower.
    You could not wait until 2:10 or 2:15?

    NOT very happy right now. :mad:

    Shame, I used to have an ATI card, but got an nVidia one cause it was always giving me trouble with the dynamic lighting. And now I got balloon freezes.

    Also, getting on Tribble... not so easy. Stuck on retrieving characters. Back to login. Make it to character selection. Select character. Alt-tab to forum. Go back, duplicate login something or other. This is going great.

    This Anniversary sure does rekindle the memories of the past 3 years.

    The new episode was okay. Different and interesting but was way too short. You put so much effort and time into the new maps - tholian base etc. Should have at least had a ground battle and may be another space part?

    I am sure you can get notes from some of the other Star Trek games that aren't just fps/rts.... Away Team, DS9 Harbinger etc. Crawling around in the maintenance corridor reminded me of a previous game. Should have had a new console with a different puzzle to do?

    Not to be an a** or anything, but really: It's right up there the list...
    Don't look silly... Don't call it the "Z-Store/Zen Store"...
    Let me put the rumors to rest: it's definitely still the C-Store (Cryptic Store) It just takes ZEN.
