So I was on deep space nine and I just got on the turbo-lift to go to an conference on the Borg threat when it hit. When I saw the notice previously I saw shared maintenance and assumed it was for Thursday morning. Without my presence the conference could end in disaster. These are indeed troubling times.
Ummm... I had one more evening to get my Breen Raider, and the game is down during that last evening?? The winter event BETTER be still be active tomorrow evening, cuz I've been working toward the goal and this was my last night to complete it. I have 989 Q photos.
So for hours before the maintenance my wife and I where getting dropped constantly. Was it just that everyone was trying to be on before the maintenance hit?

I've seen that stated too but would of been nice if more of a reason was given. It's a fun event and shouldn't of been taken away from the PvE queue in my opinion.

The Winter Event ends in just over 11 hours at 10AM PST, 1/16. It ran for just over 40 days, and you needed to complete the race only 25 of those days. We do understand that players may not have been able to play for 25 days, so until Jan 31, you can purchase the additional autographs you need via the "Q's Appreciation Package" which are sold for Lobi. Sounds like you will needed between 2 and 6 packs (10 - 30 Lobi (5 each)) as each awards 2-6 autographs.
I was supposed to have this evening to complete it, which is prior to 10AM PST tomorrow. But, the game is down. I have no lobi. All those races were a waste of my time. I've been playing since the game went live and I'm a lifetimer. I don't have as much time as I used to to play, but this is just bad news here. I thought I had just enough to complete.
If you take the game down the day before something goes away, you should then extend the deadline by a day to complete. It's false advertising any other way.

And you do have this evening to complete it, and the next 10.5 hours -- maintenance should be done in less than 35 minutes -- can you hang out and complete it then? The time we do maintenance is unfortunately always going to be inconvenient for some, so our apologies there, but we have provided ample amount of time to earn this ship for free, and have provided an alternate means for those who need more autographs and have Lobi or can acquire it. Everything was stated up front in the blog, including the "Winter Event Ending Soon" blog posted last week, so I am not sure how it could be false advertising
Thanks for your support as a Lifetimer -- I know you've made a big investment into the game, so we appreciate your loyalty.

You still have to admit that today was probably not the best time for maintenance to happen at an unusual time especially on about 5 hrs notice.
I understand that the event ran for 40+ days but when the last minute is taken away from people things tend to not work out. For people just going for 1 ship I don't even have any sympathy but for Romulans who were going for two ships completely free on their 1st winter event if something like this screwed them up on their goal that would be really messed up especially if the alternative is "give us money to reach your goal after we did something out of the norm that caused you to fail".

Unfortunately, the same thing would be said if we conducted maintenance tomorrow morning. Maintenance will always be inconvenient for some, and we apologize for that.

I myself am in the same position. 1 more day and I was done. i would have done it if you hadn't changed your 'scheduled' maintenance on the events last day. grrrrrrrrr
off to work now since it's far more important. maybe next year i'll finally get a breen ship.
and no I'm not buying keys to open boxes or doff packs to get lobis to get another 40 pictures because you guys changed your schedule. in them 2 hours i would have been done before work. I'm not now going to work to earn the money to buy a breen ship.

Or you could have played ONE featured episode (time to complete: 5 minutes) in Nov/early Dec and gotten 15 Lobi for free with which to finish your ship. Or not skipped 15 of the 40 days you had to run races. The excuses and entitlement will never end.
