I am not an expert on Server side, but let me just say, the bashing of the Cryptic community is simply deplorable. They post here to give 'what they know at the time' information, but in the aspect of company policies of ANY company, if an issue is 'internal' or a result of a source linked to internal situations, it is 'bad for business' to imply the specifics to the public.
I understand computers, networks, programming, etc, etc...for over 18 years. I understand that anything can happen to anything that is created and maintained by humans, it breaks. Get over it. But to degrade the people who talk to us, even if they throw a joke or two in their post, they are PEOPLE with a job that they do try to do the best of their abilities. This is a GAME. Yes, we come to expect a GAME to work whenever we want it to at any given time, but sometimes, technology breaks. But, to lash out at a person whose job is 'Public Relations' is reprehensible. This GAME is not as bad as people make it out to sound like. Yes, we have had downtime over the years, but c'mon, really, to verbally attack the people of any GAME is just ludicrous. I actually like the jokes. Shows the humanity behind a 'forum post'.
I get the idea of possibly(even though they said they are) extending the Mirror event and asking for that, but to ask that and then bash the people who enables it, kinda defines a logic that makes no sense. Without of these people, we would not have Star Trek Online.
My time is limited at times to play this GAME, but I make the best of it, no matter what the circumstance. If it goes down, it is down. I don't have a self-entitled mentality. What I do have, is a sense of 'people' that we all have our moments when things don't go as planned, deal with it, adapt to it, and move on.
Off the box - Just thought I would let these forums know that not all of us who play STO feel that we are entitled to what a GAME can give us and sees what life is truly about. Community and fun.
If they could resolve these issues in 10 minutes everyone'd be flippin out because they didn't get fixed in 5 minutes. Just relax, they'll have this sorted out relatively soon. No need to panic. We may be nerdy and aggressive about what we like, but I'll be damned if we don't have the most patience among any social group. Let's try to use some character here people.
The history of Cryptic-STo player relations in a nutshell:
Cryptic threw me under a bus, slapped me in the face, and hates my ships/faction. That's a strawman argument! That's a no true scotsman fallacy! That been said ad infinitum, ad nauseum. X ship is OP, nerf plz. Carriers are OP! Look it up in the dictionary! Say no, say yes to Arc. Synergy?
Absolutely lost it XD

I'm glad you find if funny that a game that represents something a great as the Star Trek franchise is administered by a company as incompetent as Perfect World. To add to that insult you seem to think poor customer service is funny to. You have a bright future in the fast food industry.
Don't be a tool. Askray does not work for PWE, he's only a forum moderator. Do lighten up hmmm? Being a jerk to people wont fix the server.
Thats a problem restarting the warp core takes 30 minutes minimum per Scotty
Honestly depending on the sophistication of the system it could be more or less. A highly sophisticated system like Secondlife needs only seven to ten minutes to completely reboot and fully functioning as far as I had timed the last time they went down and between the post of the server is rebooting and it returning it was about close to eight minutes.
We should have a few extra days with the Mirror Event, since the server keeps going down. "They" said it was fixed. But here we are again not being able to play the game. Quote if you agree.
He says it takes 30 minutes minimum, but he gets it done in 15. You always give an ETA twice as long that way when you get it done earlier people think you're a miracle worker.
Tucker did it in two minutes. It all depends on your accent in Star TreK.
Ancient Griffon insult
That one is so stupid, he lost a Rock/Paper/Scissors game to a Pony.
Somehow, I don't think we have 30 minutes .... :eek:
Captain, a Fleet of D'deridex warbirds have decloaked directly astern! They've powered up their disruptors, sir, and I don't think we could survive a direct attack.... O_O
Oh deceased hamster,
You furry little creature,
They made you work faster,
Like some demanding teacher.
You pleaded to rest from your eternal running,
To be let on a short break,
But they forced you to keep going,
And now you are at peace like Senator It's a faaake.
EDIT by Askray:
Please realize, when they say EAST coast server they mean the server at the data center that controls specific games. Not ALL games that PWE owns are in the same location. Thus, when they say east coast they are trying to make people realize that some but not all games are affected. It has no bearing on where you live
this makes sense, i dont know why they say east coast server then to make people go ape.
I'm sorry but a few hours downtime once a week is hardly a reason to not be able to complete an event. :P
Thanks for that expert (fits your situation) evaluation of everyones game priorities. That is true, but some of us have jobs and families. If I were still in school, then it wouldn't matter.
Hello, the servers have been down twice now in the past week, some of us can only play during certain times such as when we come home from work and if the servers are down that creates a problem. Can we extend the mirror invasion event for a few extra days please

Because they do actually have more than one and sometimes it's easier to copy and paste the same message to multiple forums than to type up customized ones per forum :P

it was down like 2 days ago...where did that guy get once a week?

Haha, you know, I think of Scotty and this quote quite often in daily life.
It actually works like a charm in many circumstances - not only does it make you look good regularly, it also covers your behind when they don't.

Must be. My Avenger is the meanest Aux2Bat boat ever to grace the Federation.
