Tribble Character Wipe Coming Today (Now Complete; thread locked)

edited May 2013 in Tribble - Bug Reports
Hello Captains,

In preparation for an upcoming patch to the Tribble Test Server, as well as Open Beta (to be announced very soon), we will be performing a character wipe on Tribble today.

While we don't do this often, it is required for today's maintenance to clean up existing Romulan characters that would become unplayable due to today's patch. THERE WILL NOT BE A CHARACTER WIPE ON HOLODECK WHEN WE LAUNCH LEGACY OF ROMULUS.

You will still be able to import your Holodeck characters after this is completed, and players who are in our Closed Beta will be able to create a new Romulan and/or Klingon* character. We will be opening up full Romulan and Klingon* missions, episodes, events and level 1-50 progression with today's patch to our Closed Beta participants.

[Attention Tribble Foundry Authors!] All Foundry Missions on Tribble will also be deleted in this maintenance. THERE WILL NOT BE A FOUNDRY MISSION WIPE ON HOLODECK WHEN WE LAUNCH LEGACY OF ROMULUS.

Thanks for your understanding, and we sincerely appreciate all of the feedback and bug reports received thus far. We look forward to reading the new reports that are received after today's patch.

We'll see you on Tribble!

-The Star Trek Online Team

*UPDATE! *Klingon creation and gameplay has been unlocked, but please note that it may take up to 24 hours to gain access Klingon character creation if you're in the closed beta.

    Eh, just when I was able to unlock and test Ha'apax a bit. Still, hope to see some major fixes, especially on the KDF-Rom side of things.

    I don't think this should be done with no notice; I had things like costumes and ship builds I wanted to make note of for later, and now I can't. :(

    I believe this is the first time you've ever done a character wipe on tribble. I have a character there that I created for the season four (?) test of the DOffing system. Where we needed to get to fifty for some rewards... He has a LOT of stuff... I am now sad. :(

    "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."

    Wait, so with the Open-beta coming up, does that mean I can ACTUALLY test the Romulans in tribble? And, are the Nimbus missions going to be brought online?

    Never make a test server fleet/clan if you want to form a group do so through TS or skype or other sources of interactive media this will save headaches later.

    If you wish to test fleet/clans then do so with a small group you have on your social media then when stuff like this happens its not a big lose and you dont lose contanct with new people youve met :)

    Meh, as long as they actually fix the important bugs (Vrimek, KDF-ally faces, the freaking bug report tool) and open up the next chunk of the Romulan story missions I'm fine with it. Would have been nice to write down the trait combinations I used on my main characters but I can figure that out again.

    I for one think you all do a great job despite what the naysayers may think. It's almost like 80%+ of the games community think you have unscheduled maintenance on purpose just to ruin their day!!!

    For testing purposes, then, could the Fleet (and now Reputation) projects now just take EC or small amounts of Dilithium so we can re-build and test more easily? I'm curious how many Tribble fleets tried to hit Tier 5 after the patch notes saying Tribble Rep and Holdings projects would only take 30 seconds.


    EDIT: To anyone upset...it's a TEST server. If this happened to Holodeck...whooo boy I can see everyone being ticked! But this is a server where things change constantly and nothing is in a final state. Cryptic reserves the right to change ANYTHING on Tribble to help test more easily. It's now hit our toons. I'm sad to see mine go, but I understand the purpose of Tribble. If it needs a character wipe, then I'll import new toons. (Which I was going to do anyway as I want to try out some things on the Kumari Escorts I'm planning on getting in the next few weeks).

    Deal with it.

    It's not the first time. I think they did one when Doffs hit Tribble or so. It's likely the second or third.

    why no warning this was going to happen ? , I have funds on 3 toons that will be lost and taken a year to get . I for one will not start a new rom char if we loose everything when this has taken place , not on with the lack of warning as I could have put the funds in the account bank on tribble . who makes this plans to do this ?
