    I have no issue with them making the game better even if there is no patch. I just don't understand why it can't be done at a reasonable time, not the middle of the afternoon

    Well I guess 2hrs is better than a global server outage (which I blame squarely on the maid unplugging the servers for the vacuum cleaner) from a un-mentioned MMO I have played.

    Are you not aware of global time zones. It may be the middle of the afternoon with you but with Cryptic it is early morning. Cryptic can not do it at a time to please every single country worldwide.

    Patches / maintenance etc is always done at around the time stated on the launcher.

    REAL secret evil patch notes, December 27th, 2013:

    --Broke FAW again; you will never, ever score a crit with this power now!!! And now even activating it drains your ship's power completely for a whole minute, leaving you dead in the water without shields! Hahahahaha!!! Oh, and we nerfed Torpedo Spread and Cannon Scatter volley, and probably torpedo high yield--weed is a powerful nerf motivator! Bwahahahahaaaaa!!!!!

    --Made it so that NOBODY can log in to the game, on any computer through any launcher, unless they have ARC up and running, permanently! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! RAGEQUIT ON US, LOWLY PEONS!!!!! WE DARE YOU!!!!!

    --Added random TRIBBLE ads as pop-ups in-game. We were high when we came up with this one; give us a break!

    --Tovan Khev is now the only boff that you are allowed; all boffs will look like him, sound like him, and will be unkickable. Plus, you can't change his looks now! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!!!!

    --Added stealth nerfs that YOU WILL NEVER FIND AHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!!!1!1!!11!

    --BWAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!!!

    --Just try flying a Scimitar NOW, serfs! HEEHOOHAHAHAHAAA!!!!! Try it! We dare you!

    --Blew up the server while drunk because somebody dumped a bottle of champagne on it. On purpose. He was promoted on the spot to director of human resources.

    --AHAHAHAHA!!!

    --Borg ships all have +1000000% shields and hull and spam instakill torpedoes in every direction!

    --BWAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

    --MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAAA!!!!!!!!!

    --KKKKKHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Seriously, now, nice job on not actually needing to patch, guys. Looking forward to a great year, and I hope that you all had a great Christmas/Boxing Day/Kwanzaa (sp?)/Hanukkah (sp?)/Festivus/Honor Day/other random holiday. I know that I and my brand new collectors' edition of Star Trek: First Contact did.

    Liberated borgs ...how could they be a faction? They are no longer borg , so it would be weird.

    Also, Seven of Nine outfit is in the Cstore usable for all fed races with borgy parts. I just bought it for the cyborg bits.

    Actually, in the end of TNG, all we remember Lore, the eternal nemesis of Data, and the "faction" he created with semi-liberated borg. It was not actually a faction lol, but it was intended to start making one.

    But no, there is no possibility of a Borg liberated faction, since once they are liberated, they are supossed free to join their respective species. A liberated romulan borg will be just romulan, and so on..

    I hope it goes smooth and my and my fleets thanks for all the new things we have got in the last few months


    However you may not know

    Beam overload is a worthless skill in PvE now that it has been balenved in PvP a avg of 10k damage is pretty worthless against the borg compared to Csv and Crf

    We get few to no crits from Bfaw cutting our damage from Bfaw bt 50%

    Bfaw users who use Tac characters with DeM and the marion Doff are bot affected and still put out 20k plus damage

    So regular players without the marion doff have been hurt making Bfaw very unattractive to cruisers especially Romulan cruisers

    Everyone in our fleet is now leaving beam arrays and going to cannons because of this because Beam weapons in PvE are pretty much a 2nd class weapon

    Brandon please advise the support team to examine Beam weapons because right now there not orth putting on our ships

    I doubled my DPS switching from beams to cannons on my avenger its that bad
    and as i said earlier Marion Doff captions are not affected by the receent beam weapon /bfaw changes/nerf's
    Jellico....Engineer ground.....Da'val Romulan space Sci
    Saphire.. Science ground......Ko'el Romulan space Tac
    Leva........Tactical ground.....Koj Romulan space Eng

    JJ-Verse will never be Canon or considered Lore...It will always be JJ-Verse

    Ah, well, I can get some knitting done other than between sector space traveling ;)

    I'm just glad I can play the game. It started crashing my video drivers last week and the only way I can boot in without the video crashing is in safe mode on the launcher.

    Edit: I just hope it fixes me getting booted out of the game several times a day.
    Now a LTS and loving it.
    Just because you spend money on this game, it does not entitle you to be a jerk if things don't go your way.
    I have come to the conclusion that I have a memory like Etch-A-Sketch. I shake my head and forget everything. :D

    Unfortunately, if they changed the time for you it was affect someone else. There is not a satisfactory time for this.

    OK, back to SWTOR until this is done. Youtube if i feel adventitious. Or try to hack the launcher until i break it. Or become a dev. or a million other things that would waste my time. PS, Bran, how's the ice skating rink idea coming along? (Yes, that was me who twittered you that.) Or can we please extend the winter event?
    this is not a flame, if you consider it a flame, i apologize. it is not meant as such.

    ^^And it's one day out of the week. Unless that's the only day you get to play, I don't see a big problem with losing 2-3 hours (barring unforeseen delays) of game time a week, whatever time they choose.

    The time for me is mid-morning to noon in the Central time zone.
    Now a LTS and loving it.

    No, my computer died and I missed 1 too many days fixing it. The OS got destroyed by a virus. I just need 1-2 more days on the event... GAHHH! One day short of a new ship :eek:
