FFS...it figures the hours I don't touch STO it works great; soon as I even get started for the third attempt at the FE now - BAM - server takes a s***......
....Is there not like a rent-a-server in CA?.....
I wonder when he's going to thread merge these threads?.....
not surprised happens every season well except 8 and I belive that is because a huge number of us didn't want to log in to fight Cira Littlefoot and Chompers even if they did have frigging lasers on their head.
season 8 mega crashed i was one ig the 1000 or so that couldnt get on for a month
To the best of my knowledge Cryptic games don't share the same server. STO, Neverwinter and Champs all have their own servers. They just share the chat and login servers.
They used to be I thought. If you're correct they must've changed things and I missed a memo.
It does, I have tried 3 times today to finish it same thing every time.
That's weird... I've completed it on 3 toons already today. Although I did complete the first one before the first server crash this morning, so I already read through the story.
The crashes are annoying... but if you guys do the math... you only need a total of 15 days to complete the event including the rep to get the new ships. There are 25 days to do it in.
Hi Captains,
Hang in there, looks like round 3 is under way. Thanks for the outage reports, the team is currently investigating and we will update you with our progress ASAP.
Thanks for your patience everyone, it looks like some Gremlins have crossbred with some Tribbles and they are having a pool party with fresh appetizers after midnight. this bodes poorly for our poor servers, but stay tuned to this thread and we will alert you once we have an ETA on a fix.
I was so close to finishing A Step Between Stars too, so CaptainSmirk feels your pain!
More to come!

Thank you god! Why does it keep crashing? Could it be that there are too many people on at once???
They say time is the fire in which we burn. Right now, Captain, my time is running out. We leave so many things unfinished in our lives... I know you understand.
Last time I commented (pre-season 8.5) on how the game always crashes after an update I was scolded by the community, with many saying that it's hard to make an MMO.
Yes, making an MMO is hard, however without fail every update has caused HEAPS of downtime. Maybe this should be an indication that more rigourous testing may be required. With 100% problems after every update I think it's safe to say that the current method isn't working.
I've had it. My doff timers are all fd up because of their 4 hour and then some launch, and of course I get home from work and find its crashed 4 minutes after logging in. I vented on here, went to watch a movie on dvd, come back, off, hit the head, showered, back up, and for 15 minutes. I got thru all my toons but the MAIN one, that needs all that stuff. And now I've lost a day of the 15 needed out of 25.
Some of us WORK, and cannot stay up all night waiting and hoping for when you WON'T F up a launch!!!
Been here since BETA...You try and do a great job until a day like THIS reminds me of how many days like this there have BEEN! So I am supposed to be all happy because you are good MOST days? C'mon. That's settling for mediocrity and you know it.
How about you don't launch Anything until you prepare for all the people that are going to log in...EVERY day. Us regulars...the ones that buy four damne dkeys and spend a fortune to keep you working, huh?
TRIBBLE all the people that show up every few months because they don't buy anything anyway. It is US, the ones that get up every morning to grind fleetmarks and dilithium for their fleets at 5AM to go to work at 8am and come home to bang out a few more and level up their fleet. It's because you cannot lock the NEWCOMERS the F out on days like THIS that days like this HAPPEN!
Too many people on at once? Your fault for allowing it. A computer issue? YOUR fault. Frozen ingame and kicked? YOUR FAULT. Get with it...it is ALWAYS your fault.
SO I am NOT going to thank you for the good days you give me a year. I lose a day every week to this BS patching or maintenance, because I am in the wrong time zone apparently, and that's 52 days a year. Patches and emergencies are another 20, new launches what, 5? Let's say 75 rounded off I can't play. What percentage of that is 365? Anything over 10% is ridiculous.
If you crashed my car/server once in ten, I'd kick your TRIBBLE. If I couldn't get to work once in ten, I'd be fired. oh, wait, I run my company. I'd fire YOU.

Look it's obvious what has happened, the trained chimpanzees you hired to maintain the servers have obviously been overworked and are now laying dead on the server room floor. What you need to do is go out and find some trained gorilla's to replace them because they are tougher and can handle more pressure...

third time server crashed, late at night cryptic has the B crew working and even their main tester and QA people could not see this coming today, so goodnight everyone tonight, we will see you tomorrow or when they hire good testers
At this point, I mean really come on, did we actually expect them to get it ... or i mean anything right the first time.... or the second or the... you get my point..... as with most of the content in the game they will fix it 20 to 30 times until its broken the right way.
That's because they force us to be their beta testers rather than having a quality assurance department of their own, and it appears that they do very little testing of their own...I was in the computer industry for over 25 years...if we would have had software with so many bugs and server stability issues, we would have long been out of business...
There is about as much water on Earth now as there was three billion years ago. But while the amount of water has remained static, the amount of tequila and Triple Sec available for the making of Margaritas has expanded enormously. So you see, we have made progress after all. ~Anonymous
Again? I managed to make it through several dozen server crashes and still ended up completing the initial mission and the first Q Party Crasher event.
Oh, and you only need 10 days, if you do them every 20 hours.
possibilitiesare a thing of hope,sometimes it drives us toward something better
