    ive been trying to log into the game all day, all i get is "unknown reason" error, even after they say it was fixed, ive been trying for the past 14 hours to get into this game, thanks for wasting my entire day off cryptic. it worked fine mostly in beta, so i cant understand why you cant get it to work on holodeck, unless you have 2 different servers for these in which case, buy a new server ffs........ here i sit with a card in hand ready to blow some money on this game and 14 hours of "unknown reason" really puts me off from spending it now doesnt it....
    get it together already PWE.........:mad:

    LMAO did you play the game before PWE took them over? NO Seriously did you? Things actually got done back then.

    Are you serious ? I played from closed beta, and they were useless back then... the huge amount of bugs and exploits in the game that just stayed there patch after patch after patch was unbelievable.. I got banned off the forums and the facebook page because I kept asking why they didnt fix long term bugs.. That was Cryptics way of dealing with people that pointed out problems and bugs too much.

    A few months after PW took over all the bugs and exploits I hated in game were gone. Something Cryptic could never seem to do.

    This sort of thin happens with the major updates, all the moaning and butt hurt wont speed it up at all... and its FREE.

    So how many of you would stay in work for 18 hours, just for the customers and community. i mean I'm sure there's benefits for staying on, but I'd assume that's voluntary.

    Thanks again, please someone, buy them a Beer. They deserve it!

    You got it right! Always look at the bright side. You watch a cow dropping it's digestion result and then say "What a wonderful work, it's perfectly round!"

    :D

    an

    optimist says its fertilizer

    a realist just stepped in it :D

    you know what, a lot of the bugs that are cropping up now were reported months ago on tribble. they've had ample time and opportunity to get things sorted, however, talent is obviously lacking to make that happen.

    Work it must, shine it may. I would have been absolutely embarrassed to release this as it is. I really do hope they get it sorted but they ignored bug reports, as such, my patience is wearing thin as is others and rightfully so.

    Like with one of the last seasons where they broke the Lore Missions for the KDF for about a month. Even though it was reported on Tribble before the season went live. Or the transporter bug for the KDF and Cloaking bugs that just now are being dealt with after how many years?

    I think the major problems with Cryptic is giving themselves a timeframe, and never prepared to push release dates back when they need the extra time. The lack of testing doesn't help their cause either tbh.

    Any reasonable fan/player would be happy if they added an extra month or so, to give the Development team enough time to iron out all the bugs rather than release a flawed product. I agree it's very poor workmanship and management to release something so bugged, but really this isn't much different from any other season update. I remember season 4 being pretty bad like this when F2P went live.

    Many players like myself have been saying this was going to happen for months, especially during the server crashes we had a week or so ago. The one time we hope we're wrong and unfortunately we aren't. Best thing for any player to do is come back in a week or two. By then all the bugs and patches should be up and the hype worn down a little allowing for an almost uninterrupted game experience.

    In the meantime I guess I might see some of you in other games like TOR or LOTRO. :D

    Got around to rolling my Romulan tonight, and I'm loving it. In my honest opinion, well done, Cryptic. I know y'all are doing everything you can to fix the issues and keep the game running. Keep up the good work and don't let all the crybaby whines get you down! JOLAN TRU!

    Shoot, I remember back in the day, when this game went F2P, the shard crashed like every two hours, unexpectedly.
    I'm happy they're being proactive with maintenance ,keeps that TRIBBLE from happening again.

    Because drunkenness is the only possible explanation for the prompt resolutions being applied to a new major patch before they've been live more than 24 hours.

    If a drunk Cryptic crew can be this responsive to problems, they need to be drunk more often.

    Yes I remember that and when you was able to stay on the lag was horrible.

    I'll give you that

    but still some bugs slip through, hell I am a perfectionist whenever I do programing and I still miss about 2% of all the bugs, now think about that this was a BIG release there is going to be A LOT of bugs that slip through

    I totally understand a FEW bug getting though, even like 5% of them missed, but unfortunately there are MASSIVE amounts of them we all have been QQ'ing over for the last 3 years. One of them being the boff uncloak and warp plasma disappearing.

    I waited 3 hours for this thing to patch and now I am stuck in a cue.
    I never had to wait to play this game before now. Could you please put thing back the way they were.

    There is a new playable faction.. will be lots of old players coming back for a look... get used to it for a little while.

    Or pay for a month of full access to jump to the top of the line.. When I logged on it had something like 2000 in the queue, still got in after like 15 seconds.

    I was in game and I got a 1 hour notice, 30 minute notice, 15 minute notice, 10 minute notice and 5 minute notice.

    If you're in the costume editor there is an icon on the bottom left to enable your chat window where you can see notices. If you keep it turned off, then you're screwed. But that's something you have control over not them.


    Well guess what, you don't get that when you are in the Character Creator.


    And around 30 minutes prior to the server shutting down, I was playing and still saw no notices. And my notifications were turned on.
