    One thing comes to my mind right now...

    Open, open, open...

    From what I got to see on Tribble, this expansion is awesome! I'm looking forward to the servers to come back up.

    My "patch" said it was ~10 Gb, (I have on-demand patching off), though only had to download ~100 Mb
    Weird.

    Since the version I installed was from the start of Season Seven, I wonder if the upgrade rolls back a few of the proceeding patches. Who knows. I am going to download another copy this weekend.

    For anyone who in pre-patching who kept freezing at 46%, so did I, but I can tell you it seems to be working right now. It's not doing that annoying thing where it makes you start over from 0 again and again now.

    I am currently patching. It ripped through the first 46% just unpackaging those already downloaded files, and now seems to be patching normally from that point. I'm up to 53% now.

    So those of you like me that had issues appear to be good to go. Knock on wood.

    Knock on wood is correct, I also was having alot of problems trying to pre-patch. Now i am Patching, what hopefully is LOR, a 6074mb patch, and i am at 84% and counting. Only problem is Shard wont be back up untill 3pm for me. I cant wait to create my Romulan toon:D
    Does anybody no if we will get an extra character slot for our Romulans?

    I was only just aware , before walkin away from the computer for the night, that you can patch.

    Amazingly, out of 6gb, just from the last ten minutes, it's patched 68% ! (perhaps due thanks to the pre-patch---I don't have "tribble").

    It seems to have slowed right down now for me though, real slow.

    I'll leave the computer and hope it gets done before the night ends. Then see what the new look is like tomorrow.

    live long and prosper everyone.

    I'd wager it's because everyone knew this coming. When the servers crash or an emergency maintenance pops up it's usually the "OMFG I was in the middle of an ESTF where we were doing SUPERAMAZINGGOOD and I was right about to realize ALL OF MY DREAMS EVER when you BROKE IT. FU Craptic I haet u 4evars!!" posts that clog it up. In this case we all know the good stuff is coming, save for a few people who can't do timezones correctly lol.

    One day, you should be honest enough to add a "F..k you, Eurof..s" to the launcher image.

    In most parts of Europe, this maintenance finishes like 1-3 hours before midnight.

    Short question by the way, is there a way to keep the STO website from attempting to redirect me to the german site? It does so when I visit startrekonline.com and it also did so when I logged in here to post.

    ^ Don't wanna start a topic just for this short question.

    I just hope doffs get a fed. ldf or rom tag in eschange. I get all excited when searching to find the attributes i want then realize i was on the wrong faction doff. :( with three factions the echange will just get crazier for doffs. From a database standpoint just puting a rank (or rank abbr) before their name would allow us to search by a faction specific rank.

    According to a re-tweeted post from Branflakes, its safe to delete the prepatch after you are fully patched.

    Where do I find these files at? I can only imagine how much data is getting used up by that.......

    Post-patch there should be a new feature on searches for faction-specific items. I remember this coming up specifically in the Tribble test forum.

    Dude. Earth is a sphere. Cryptic's workday, no matter when it is, is going to be in the middle of somebody's night. And this way, they're not required to pay overtime to people just for showing up.

    Well, well, well... It would seem that, for me, in Romania, the 'terrible' launch of LoR will be on the 22nd May, and NOT on the 21st! Because 19:00 PM PDT means 02:00 AM GMT +3 here. :)

    Nice... Let's just hope that the strain on our video cards and CPUs won't be so great anymore. At least that.

    Wh...what?! Good sir, Earth is NOT a sphere! Everyone knows that it is a flat disc balanced on the back of a turtle's shell! You also better not believe in this most ridiculous "Heliocentric" theory. It's common knowledge that the heavens are Geocentric! Gentlefolk, I do believe we must stone this heretic!

    that is good to hear, i was looking on the forums and didnt see a commitment to work on that, but it seems a simple fix. But a bunch of simple fixes still take time. STO needs a college intern summer program for these types of things. :) hee hee hee. I love dumping the repetitious TRIBBLE on the college kids in for a few months. It lets them cut their teeth. Then again we just hire them after they grad and call it a good interview.

    I hear that! It would be nice if they added more options, honestly. What if I only want Ferengi DOffs? What if I only want to find ones that have efficient? Exchange has always been in need of improvement but with DOffs it's really needed.

    I'm glad that I patched tribble every time and did all my prepatching, this only took a few minutes to mirror some patches for me.
