They should up the percentage to 50% and retroactively reward anyone who purchased Zen today as compensation for the lack of response and apparently absence of concern over the game being down.

by most expensive game i mean to say that i have been playing mmos for 13 years and ive played every mmo under the sun every server ive been on ive been uber cept for areia games shaiya witch is the only game more expensive than sto and what i mean by expensive is that one can spend no real money and within 6 monthes be half way decent so start a new toon put 6 monthes in and go to krat and try to pvp lol you will be the one every one wants to kill couse ya so easy pew pew you dead but yes the game is free but every thing in sto is expensive one way that they could lessen the burrden is every month get a free captin skill retrain token i mean sure if ya have 20 toons on a account and ya refine like hell ya can make some good money and dill and z but dam as a paying client if i pay ya are obligated to keep the servers up or what am i paying for

Can anyone at Cryptic or PWE explain exactly what it means when you take the server/shard down for two hours for "Server stability updates" or "Made improvements for general server stability"?
Seriously, what is the Cryptic/PWE definition of stability?
Have your developers fubared everything to a point that every time you fix one thing it breaks another?
Here's s suggetion,.. How about you fix everything that is broken before you intoduce anymore new features.
if they did that at this point they could work on it for 5 years without adding a scrap of new content. There has been a tendency to leave problems with the seeming intent of superseding the problem with system/content revamps. At least I hope that's the way it's been going. Otherwise the process of evolution has not made much sense here.
I'll sell you some weapons from New Romulus. Never fired, only dropped once.
yea, time to turn back on netflix they got all the star trek series except the originals, i got em on disk hehe
Umm, I dont no what Netflix you have. But on my Netflix i got all Star Trek series and all episodes including the original ones from the 60's:eek:
[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC] "This is Fleet Commander BumBle!..
Vice Admiral of the U.S.S. Prometheus!..
I order you to lower your shields and weapons or ill be forced to fire upon you!!!"
cant login because it says a file is locked when i tried to open sto everything was fine today before the update. i just got home from work an bam no sto im like wth!!!! this game is really tickin me off even tho im not a member i spend my hard earned cash to buy zen to purchase ships and other gear for this game when is this goin to be fixed sto?
I am still a bit of noob, but it seems odd they can't put up a message saying that its down and if they have any sort of ETA. I mean they put up a message in the launcher when there is a planned patch. Why not something when its down?
All this whining. Would you guys like some cheese?
So go read a book, write your senator reminding them that the 4th Amendment isn't just a good idea, kiss your girl/boy friend, grab a bite to eat, visit the head, go to a movie, or any of a million other things that you can do besides whinge about STO being down. Is it frustrating? Hell yes, I'm only a few hundred marks from my OMEGA torp launcher. Is there anything you can do from in front of you computer to help? Not really.
I visited the head, we shared some toilet humor, it was HILARIOUS! :cool:
To whine about whine about whine is fine
To whine about whine about downtime is not
Come now whining whiners over whining whiners over whiners
Is "Want some cheese?" the best that you've got?
Just a thought, but maybe if the anti-whiner whiner whiners did a little whiner whining instead of telling everyone to be thankful that they get to play for free (those fleet modules and Zen Store ships didn't really cost anything you know), maybe Cryptic/PWE would not pat themselves on the back during these things and hug the thoughts of one or two people who would be thankful for any chance to rally the team to the cause of "They are trying!"
Someone said "What can you do to help from behind a computer?" Well, quite possibly just a shade less than the people behind the computers in the server center are doing. Maybe they should read a book, eh? "Servers for Dummies" sounds apt.
So quit your whining about whining about whining. Go do something else. Want some cheese with that?

The servers crashed again,
Can't logon because its crashed again,
All i wanted was to blast stuff with my friends,
And now i can't because the servers crashed again.
EVERYBODY... do do do do do. hum hum hum
I really need to play before I come up with something even more stupider.
Maybe the janitor tripped on a chord?
OR the government is just TRIBBLE with all the gamers, specifically the ones who are over 18 and still live in their Mom's basement.

But, the fact still stands, I can't play.
yes, the fact still stands WE cant play.
Followed quickly up by: what the heck did you do today that messed it up?
&
Did anyone actually test this or was it one of those hail Mary passes
Lol does it really surprise you that this game costs so much to keep going it seems everytime we have an outage is right after an update. and then they have to call the team back in on OT to fix it..... is this planned it sure seems to be the devs i am starting to think like the OT and so do the maintance teams.... so a normal call out is expensive already image what a call out to a guy just getting into bed costs...... and there goes the profit overhead of the game cause they wont look at stress test or fix it durring normal hours when most of us are at work they wait till we are all online trying to play and TRIBBLE us off so they can enjoy the coffee and fresh air that we all are paying for!!
Sooo......they don't even bother making an official thread when the server unexpectedly goes down anymore huh?
More importantly, they don't bother putting anything out well over an hour after the server goes down. While I understand that most people are probably at home, I am willing to bet money that somewhere there is at least one person, probably a few, who's sole purpose in life is to be up all night monitoring the servers. So as far as at least acknowledging that there is a problem and letting us know they are working on it, there is no excuse.
Unfortunately this is the way pretty much all games are functioning now. No one is concerned about publishing quality software anymore, just publishing it in general so they make a bunch of money on sales. Since they know everyone is going to buy it, they can take their time fixing the problems because money is in the bank (ie the stupid tools who buy games that have the words call of duty, medal of honor or battlefield in them and actually think they are realistic, or any EA game). It is probably even worse with MMOs because most players have money invested into it over time and aren't going to just throw it away unless it gets mega ultra stupid.

I think "more stupider" wins that contest hands down.
I agree, 100% with all that s being said, i was considering lifetime, but not anymore. Hey cryptc, just because you got a NEW GAME out, doesnt mean you need to sacrifice your established customers, or force us to play some fantasy TRIBBLE... i am not free to play, i spend money on this game, i am GLAD i dont subscribe, seeing that the times the servers are down, is prime playing time.
I ALSO support cryptic knowing the guys working on this game code inherited it. but jeesh, you guys treat it like a high school project. Fix the issues, become pro's at this stuff... quit making it appear lke a high school project you guys are making to make money for the after prom party.....
(I don't know why, but in game when my Excelsior-class ship gets near a Constitution-class ship, the transwarp stops working) it happens every now and then to copy the film Star Trek III
