    Over an hour...wtf...

    I've been in software development for a while and I don't possible see how it could take over an hour(and I'm sure it'll get extended). 10 minutes to reset, 10 minutes to install new codebase to the RC, 10 mins to verify stability.

    30 min coffee break? Maybe I come from a different philosophy of customer service, but anytime we have a go-live we have all our engineers on board to correct any unforeseen issues. If I told my clients that it was going to take 6 hours to recognize the problem, then 2 hours to update the interface I wouldn't have a job.

    You also seem not to have worked with large databases. They can take hours to start. Really large one days.

    Instead of complaining, I'll say this: Thank you guys for fixing things. Most of us appreciate you.

    u could try reinstalling the driver only to the vid card without Catalyst control center, it does sound like a software trying to interfere with the game
    or maybe in application specific 3d options in CCC, change everything to application controlled?

    I'm still having the can't change resolution problem from about a year ago, been waiting for that one to be fixed. In windowed mode can't change resolution without crash either. But I've been gone from game for a while and can't remember the workaround for it. I think it was a setting in AMD Catalyst but that needs to finally be 100% fixed.

    As long as this isn't like the Eve Online expansion that toasted the windows boot.ini file, it will not be the worst ever expansion pack ever.

    More like, 10 minutes to reset, 10 minutes to install new codebase to the RC, 60 minutes because the user database needs to rebuild accross the cluster, 10 mins to verify stability, 10 minutes for the launcher to download the patch.

    I know that when you're 12 everything seems like the end of the world... But I promise you that this really isn't that big a deal.

    Please grow up.

    Or stop posting.

    Either one is fine.

    10 mins to fix the problem, 50 mins to try to restart the servers. If you have been in software development then you should know this. I was in PC and Network repairs and I know this. And when the servers DO start there is the 30 min panic to make sure they stay up. Then the edgy 10 mins of worry, followed by the coffee break/debrief in the canteen while you wait nervously for someone to tell you they are down again. And during that period you panic every-time anyone enters the canteen.

    Longer open beta

    Letting us test everything (surprises are nice, but they can break stuff)

    proof that ignorance is bliss.

    you sit on your TRIBBLE complaining and blaming them for issues that come with EVERY game and nothing is perfect...

    they're actually doing their job and brought us a HUGE content update that has been needed for quite sometime and all's you can do is whine about it.

    if you can't accept that with every LARGE patch to a game issues arise then you shouldn't be playing online games in general.

    anyway OT: good job guys glad to see you'll be fixing it, 2 am here but i can stay up :) got nothing to do tomorrow so :P

    and to you.. TRIBBLE you sir.. TRIBBLE you. I am allowed to complain.

    It sucks that the server is going down but thank you for fixing this as fast as you guys/gals can. I appreciate all that you do to make STO great.

    On a side note, I love the expansion so far. It's a ton of fun.

    To all the whiners, chill out. At least here they seem to be a bit more expedite with their customer service than in other MMOs. And I'm not talking out of my TRIBBLE, because I went through some TRIBBLE over in Star Wars The Old Republic when they had Game 2.1 Customization patch issues which were not fixed until the very next day.

    Here they seem to be a bit more on top of things so consider us lucky that the devs here are more pro-active then in other games, like SWTOR.

    what paid for expansion????? I paid nothing for this expansion it was free now I didnt buy a goodie pack(leg or starter) also making threats is silly if you have played online games you KNOW EVERY game has issues on launch day and expansion launches so sit back calm down and take a deep breath it will be alright geesh folks

    BTW Cryptic team keep up the good work and thank you for all you do to keep this game running which seems it can be a somewhat thankless job
