    WHOA!!!! hold on a minute. Players seem to forget that the GM's, devs, community staff (branflakes) are NOT employees to us the players. Everyone at PWE has their own lives, their own families etc. They are not androids who work 24/7 without breaks. They do as much as they can do in the allotted time they have. Yes things are bugged or broken but hey that's life, nothing is perfect.

    Ok Things are not getting fixed at a rate in which some would like them to be fixed, but every bug has to be fully investigated to find out the cause in the hope it doesn't reoccur. Yes some bugs to happen again, but again that is life.

    Every player should have respect for branflakes. We have a community leader DEDICATED to us the players. As it quite clearly states in the terms of use. PWE can take the servers down at ant time for what ever duration with or without prior knowledge to us the players. But we have always had messages on the launcher CLEARLY stating down times and durations and a thread on the forum detailing the reason for the downtime. Branflakes is so dedicated to us the players that he keeps us all up to date as and when if further complications arise. So instead of getting on his case be grateful for his loyalty to us.

    I would agree with you at prima facie, however cosmetic items (tribbles and sounds) as well as a minor glitch on one item, do not warrant an emergency shutdown. Generally when a dev team calls for an emergency shutdown, and for 2 hours, we should understand that there is a serious game play issue.

    i believe the tribble was allowing you to make 6000 ore an hour and some players had it in game already

    so for them it was an emergency

    many poeple did emergency grinding.Those kind of bugs are a step closer to make the game less grindy.

    It would be so easy for me now to do as follow:
    Activate EptRE III (emergency power to rage engine) CAW III (complain at will) and state my case...
    but...
    I do know what cryptic response would be....
    THEY would react activating:
    Ee III (evesive excuses) RcsP II (reverse customer support polarity) and DAO III (dispersal anwers omega wich also gives them a bonus on resisting rage posts)

    I had to wait a week for a fix on the scimitar (paid in FULL with RM) and I still have to test it ...(couldn't do it yesterday for the extended downtime and couldn't do it now for the very same reason)


    Dev's I know you are doing the best you can and you have my support but...

    Interesting, I assumed this patch was something to do with the foundry errors that kept popping up on my screen last night. I'll assume that's getting looked at too.

    In non European prime time so from the players in Europe take as long as you need. . .

    About time others felt the pain we feel when it happens at 6 in the evening or over weekends. . .

    It's very typical for Europeans like yourself to resort to insults, calling people brainless, when you don't know what else to say. Europeans forever live in the shadow of America, so maybe one day when you, too, get all the McDonalds and WalMarts you want, you'll be great like us, and almost as superior as us.

    That's so americal... You think you are superior to all others... Well, last time people thought they were such superior, there was a world-war.

    And you didn't get the message of Star Trek: We are humans, we don't need racism. Think about it...

    I never thought I would see the day where a tribble would bring the servers down! You made the impossible happen - congratulations!

    I just got home from work all ready to play only to find that there is emergency server fixing, only to come on here and find out it's 4 trivial, non game breaking, issues. Awesome. Well worth an unscheduled shutdown.

    Personally, I get sick of constantly seeing Euro's whining and crying about when downtime occurs. It occurs at 10-12PST, guess what? It's a strike at the Euro players. It happens at midnight (same timezone), guess what? It's disrespecting Euros. (*sigh*), so basically what you're saying, is no matter WHAT time they pick to do a maintenance cycle, it's going to be a strike at Euros.
    Well, guess what? I'm American, and 3/4 of the time these downtimes occur when I happen to want to play. Guess what? I have to deal with them, or find something else to do. (In this case, prowling the forums, and seeing if I can find interesting threads to read, and/or post in)

    To those Euros who are generally patient, and understand that these cycles aren't aimed at you guys, I apologize for the above, it's not directed to you.
    It IS however, directed to the crybaby one's that no matter what is done, or when stuff happens, cannot be pleased. Go infest some other game, so maybe the community around here can improve!!!

    Well... Thanks :)

    Your guys' job is pretty thankless what with this community. Thanks for the update :)

    Thank the world that there are also pepople, who are unlike you, no trained fanboys, unable to any criticism, thanking their masters for spitting in their face. Because if everybody was worshipping incompetence like you do, things would never change. You would make a perfect slave though, being grateful for being exploited and laghed at. Oh my...

    The downtime is for an urgent fix to solve the bug with the new tribble - but i hope the players who get hundreds of marks while using the bug will get a penalty and marks or the exchanged dili deleted.

    Has anyone here even ever tried to mod a game? myself, i made a star trek mod for homeworld 2 and it took me 2 years just to get feds klingons and rommies in. So you lot can go **** yourselfs.
    Who here has even tried coding?

    If your so upset with the game, go play Roon scape or something...

    thank you Cryptic for even trying to do the impossible

    So you want to grant a company with supposedly lots of employees and making a lot of money the same degree of incompetence like some hobby fiddler who has no real idea what he is doing? You need a reality check, dude.

    As far as the non-trivial aspect of the sfx on Risa, should have been there. 10 minutes out of every 11, people were practically frothing at the mouth at how annoying it was. So maybe they felt they needed to prioritize this? Because people were asking for it to be removed, like, yesterday, lol.
