#It'sJustaGameAndAFreeOneAtThat!
Come Visit the 44th Fleet
Oh little mirror, what will break after this patch?
I call it, the Stoutes paradox.
I'm with you, brother. The horrendous lag that has crept-up over the holidays is beyond infuriating.
Sorry to hear you're experiencing this. Due note that this is not happening "at" our severs, but during the hops your ISP uses to route you to our servers. All is good on our end/ everything we can control. Please see my reply here for more info. I hope it resolves for you soon!
Cheers,
Brandon =/\=
Unfortunately my tracert shows verizon to alter to internap to cryptic. unless cogent owns something in there I don't think they are my problem. But still, maybe the patch will clear this up.

I'd be right with you, except it's been 3 weeks since the last attempt to squash any bugs. People do play this game over the break.
I'd gladly take some serious bug fixes over whatever is planned for the 4th anniversary.
Still a little irked that FAW isnt getting fixed yet, but ill just continue with BO or something else until that gets fixed.
Glad for the exchange getting fixed too, im tired of not being able to search spcific things and rarities.
I am Il Shadow and i approve these Shennanigans!

Can you explain the exchange search part of that patch a bit?
What exactly is this fixing?
thumbs up. Now i'am not longer invisible.
Just because we play over the holiday season doesn't mean that the devs deserve a break too to enjoy their time also.
If you look at the is

The devs get the last week of December off, which neatly tied in with the last two server restarts
Just because we play over the holiday season, doesn't give us a right to expect the devs to not enjoy a break also
Edit: How about getting price per unit being ascending instead of descending (Lock Box Keys, Commodities ....). It sucks not being able to find the best price, because there are 400+ offers
True that.
Still, would be nice if they ever fixed CrtH on BFAW. To me, that's the sort of thing that should have been fixed ASAP; and the existence of this issue sure preceeds the holidays -- by far.

also wouldnt be surprised to see a stealth fix in place to annoy the frosted boots bunny hoppers on the pvp ice race so the racing is equal again.
Been around since Dec 2010 on STO and bought LTS in Apr 2013 for STO.
Brandon can you please explain what you're doing to the exchange? Does that mean I will not be able to search for purple doffs anymore without typing the name of said doff?
In case it really does mean that please stop it before it's rolled out. It's utter ............... and you'll have an outrage for it. Even doffs with the same ability have multiple names. We need to be able to search for doffs without typing a name but just specifying its rarity and career.
Or does it mean that you have to specify at least either name, or rank, or quality, or item type and only if you choose neither then the search will be disabled?
Thank you for your clarification on this.
Furthermore, before you introduce new things to the exchange, how about fixing the broken stuff first? Thank you!
In lieu of a reply from Brandon, I would point out that you should not be searching for "All", when searching for doffs. You should be searching by doff type.
As I read it, the aforementioned measure is to stop people searching without specifying anything whatsoever.
Good to see some quick responses (bearing in mind the time of year) to such issues as the Events calendar, although why it failed in the first place I would like to know.
When you also manage to do something also about the likes of the missing ship in the Allied Sphere Zone, it does then make you wonder why you don't do anything about the likes of of KDF OOTW assignments that you cannot complete (i.e. The Cadet inspection when one cadet has nothing wrong and the Embassy escorting the dignitary to New Romulas which never completes, no matter how well you escort the KDF dignitary), but not only that you don't seem to ever sort them out, you leave them there for people to come across instead of removing them, so that players are forced to drop the OOTW assignment and cannot do it for 20 hours, when assigned one of those.
This also raises the issue about why you are asked to accept an OOTW assignment before you know what it is. If it was something that (say) a new player was having trouble with, they could at least not accept it and wait for another one to be offered later, whilst perhaps checking with their fleet or other online sources about how to do it - let alone be faced with accepting an assignment on the KDF side that won't complete.
Isn't it about time you did something about that? How long has that been an issue now?
And yet I still like to have a look at, say, *all* purple Damage Control Engineers, to see whether they added new ones, for instance, without typing their names in first (chicken and the egg kinda thing).
I do search by doff type of course but I'm worried that this is not good enough anymore.
And this exactly why I'm worried. It's not possible to type doff names at all. In each category there are around 4 doffs with different abilites. And even among those abilities they all come with different names. If I'd really have to type a name.... boy I'd have to look up all possibilities on STO wiki etc.
Well....... I hope Cryptic wasn't that short sighted..... if they really were they'll soon have a ****storm upon them and they'll deserve it big time too
I denounce your bigotry sir!
If you list a specific quality, instead of letting it say Any, you won't have an issue when seqrching the exchange without typing a name.
