    Say no to an extension of an event, I want free Zen for this! Events come and go all the time but a chance to get free Zen doesn't.

    We're not going to get anything. This is not the way things work.

    If this were ArenaNet and something like this happned during an event, do you know what'd happen?

    They'd extend the event if the servers were offline for this long AND give a little something of some kind to their customers. But ANet are competent developers and are in no way anything like Cryptic or their Perfect Wreck Extortion overlords.

    Here, however, we'll get a post now and again about how the problem is almost solved, and just needs another 15 minutes. Then, 6 hours later, we'll get another post about how the problem is almost solved and just needs another 15 minutes.

    So just settle down, you evil little gamer. You may get some kind of "Hey, we're sorry, but we'd like to show just how sorry by extending or giving you a bauble," from a decent company that's not just in it to line their pockets and milk something dry.

    But here, all you get is treated badly.

    has there been any reason as to what is going on or an ETA on when the game will be back up ?:mad:

    Yes, the server is down, and they are working on it and they will come back to report the same information again and keep you at square one of wonder.

    Why don't they put that effort in creating a native linux client? Who cares for Mac?

    Aye, have it; just curious as to whether it's possible to access Tribble using that, since we can't get to Holodeck atm. Worst case, I'll try the Windows client, as long as it's accessible to F2P accounts.

    dude for real get off your high horse and stop replying to anything .. and maybe JUST maybe they will leave you alone ..just saying

    Doesn't it strike you as rude to ignore someone? I tried, it felt wrong to do so. It's just odd that when someone asks others to follow rules and guidelines put there so everyone has equal rights to discuss relevant matters, they get mad and attack you personally. All I want is information on when the server is expected since that is what this thread is for, and others seem to think my wanting that here is inappropriate and well I disagree with them.

    has someone in the dev team finally cracked with us asking them to fix the bugs and issues and taken an axe, locked himself in the server room and for every time someone posts on here he takes another crazy swing?

    no, actually, Anet would do nothing, and they listen to their players worse than Cryptic does.

    About to click the button to claim tier 5 Dyson reward...server not responding....get kicked off game....and no getting back on for 4 hours and counting....well played PWE/Cryptic well played.

    .. So it was YOU who broke the server.

    But to get back on topic, is there an ETA for the server restoration?
    This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.

    Nerf is OP, plz nerf
    That's quite the paradox, how could you nerf nerf when the nerf is nerfed. But how would the nerf be nerfed when the nerf is nerfed? This allows the nerf not to be nerfed since the nerf is nerfed? But if the nerf isn't nerfed, it could still nerf nerfs. But as soon as the nerf is nerfed, the nerf power is lost. So paradoxally it the nerf nerf lost its nerf, while it's still nerfed, which cannot be because the nerf was unable to nerf.

    I call it, the Stoutes paradox.

    OH GOD, i remember that guy. 80 page thread about how he was supposedly better than all of us and how his ideas were not only perfect, but they would definitely be added to the game. Best week on this forum i have ever had.
    there was also someone similar to him a while back called benovide...kept worshipping the bortasqu' as PWE's gift to STO...the ship's good, but it's not that good

    oh, and he also kept trolling around saying there was a hard limit to how much damage any given weapon could deal...don't remember what figure he pulled out of his TRIBBLE, though - maybe 40K
    Like special weapons from other Star Trek games? Wondering if they can be replicated in STO even a little bit? Check this out: https://forum.arcgames.com/startrekonline/discussion/1262277/a-mostly-comprehensive-guide-to-star-trek-videogame-special-weapons-and-their-sto-equivalents

    A normie goes "Oh, what's this?"
    An otaku goes "UwU, what's this?"
    A furry goes "OwO, what's this?"
    A werewolf goes "Awoo, what's this?"


    "It's nothing personal, I just don't feel like I've gotten to know a person until I've sniffed their crotch."

    Yup: http://community.arcgames.com/en/news/star-trek-online/detail/3037203-sto-mac-is-officially-live_

    And hey... I agree with you... I'd much rather see a Linux client, but thats not the way they've chosen to go.

    On the bright side, since roughly 10% of the iOS code is stolen from FreeBSD, it should pave the way for ports to other platforms.
    Don't look silly... Don't call it the "Z-Store/Zen Store"...
    Let me put the rumors to rest: it's definitely still the C-Store (Cryptic Store) It just takes ZEN.

    Askray, why are you deleting my posts? I was on topic, I came here to get an answer about the ETA of Star Trek Online. I also told a spammer to stop in a way less offensive than many posts I've seen -- that are still up. You erased me and not him? I would have sent this in a PM (I tried) but I am not allowed to do send you a PM as I do not use ARC, so is there some other way that I am supposed to send you a PM? And that question is also on-topic as this is an information and general discussion thread! So would you please respond to my question and also give us a heads up on the game restart ETA, if any?

    Since this early morning GMT i cant login at all , the launcher loading sooo slow , and if load at all got an error that says there is a problem with the login server. So , can someone from the support teram give us some light about that, please. The problem is global , beacuse got lot of friends on the voice chat that have the same problem and havent been able to log the whole day.

    EDIT at 3:08 PM PDT posted on Twitter:

    We're looking into the current issue at hand. We've made progress with our login server but we will notify you once the game is back up! :)

    EDIT at 1:40 PM PDT:



    ~Askray

    This is a reminder for everyone. Please do not spam this thread as it is both a violation of Rules and Policies as well as it can potentially delay our ability to work on the situation at hand.
    Thank you! - LaughingTrendy

    I see from this post that the Dev's are posting on twitter ... why not the forums? Or have I just been unable to find Dev forum posts?
