    Hi Captains,

    As a reminder, the announcement states that the Open Beta (i.e. Romulan and Klingon Gameplay unlocked) and Tribble Test Weekend begins once Tribble is updated today -- we are still a couple to a few hours away from this, at minimum. Once it's updated and available, we'll be sure to update the original announcement and this forum post.

    Thanks for your patience, and we can't wait to see you on Tribble later today!

    Cheers,

    Brandon =/\=



    I think the best thing to do, mainly to help Brandon out from having to repeat himself over and over and over, is just keep quoting this every few minutes to help people who can't read understand what's going on

    There's plenty of 'Something' out there, but not much of 'Anything-in-Particular' you're looking for.

    which brings me back to the original question, if it had been answered with a confirmed answer there wouldnt be this much trouble, but wait for it to come.

    however things dont work that way, they never do.

    Yeah I am not following. Could all announcements be done as YouTube videos with puppets for a clearer message?

    *snort* Like that would work.
    Also, how much is the expansion?

    Free.

    This means that I have to do the Open Beta Testing tomorrow. I have to say this is a shame but it isn't the most important thing in the world so what is the big deal.

    What are you mad about? Brandon posted at 10:42am (PDT) the above. That's something. The Dev Tracker is your Friend. :rolleyes:

    I wouldn't expect Tribble to be online any sooner than 1pm (PDT), but even 3-4pm (PDT) would not be unrealistic.

    :cool:

    f that were the case i would be long a sleep between 2pm-4pm pst. which would be 10pm-12am on my end. that would be the part i would be most annoyed about, not the playing of the game, the fact that europe has to wait until tomorrow to get their fix unless some stay up all night, quite unreasonable expectation for everyone else to follow.

    Well although everyone expects Tribbles buutttt...

    If we spend an hour on Nakura getting Nakura Marks can the Breen Doff be awarded to anyone who didn't get him before :)

    Perhaps a special doff or awarding a special token to get a previous tribble or redistricted pre-f2p item. Maybe could get a token for a Veteran BOFF.

    I think anyone who has done this a few times is getting a little jaded about a tribble only reward.

    Since They started adding parts of LoR to TRIBBLE...

    Almost all of the patches have been between 3pm & 5pm Their time (PDT).

    There have been a couple of Saturdays where They did an early morning patch, but those have been very rare.

    I am assuming that They spend most of their work day readying what They plan on adding to TRIBBLE, then patch it in a couple of hours before the end of the work-day for Them, just to make sure it has a minimum of problems.

    I do hope that the players realize that this IS NOT an OFFICIAL ITERATION of LoR.

    So don't expect it to be exactly what we actually get on the 21st.

    Europe doesn't have to wait until tomorrow. You do - as not everyone in Europe goes to bed at 10 pm on a Friday night. :)
    STO is about my Liberated Borg Federation Captain with his Breen 1st Officer, Jem'Hadar Tactical Officer, Liberated Borg Engineering Officer, Android Ops Officer, Photonic Science Officer, Gorn Science Officer, and Reman Medical Officer jumping into their Jem'Hadar Carrier and flying off to do missions for the new Romulan Empire. But for some players allowing a T5 Connie to be used breaks the canon in the game.

    yeah got other things to do then become a half dead zombie in the mornings and a virtual vampire during the night.

    if you mean by timezone then other europeans are in bed from 10pm bst that be 11 pm cet all the way to 2am in moscow, at least the majority of then none virtual vampire types and thats my point. the majority of europe will miss out.

    Think about how the Test Weekend ends in the morning for people in Cryptics timezone, while it ends in the evening for others. The Test Weekend runs exactly the same time for everyone.

    Exactly. When the US players are at work a 3 pm, the European players can be testing at their 10 pm. When the US players are sleeping tonight the European players will be awake and testing in their morning, and so on.

    There's no grand conspiracy to keep Euro-players out or cheat them out of playing time. Cryptic is an American company based on the west coast. They do things on their schedules.
