    Our weekly scheduled maintenance has begun! We expect downtime to last for 2.5 hours and I will post again once it is complete. Thanks!

    ~CaptainSmirk

    Where is our Trendy? I miss her bacon-fueled humor already! :(

    Is this a joke? Why wouldn't you open the boxes now and just collect the marks in your totals?
    There is absolutely no need to collect those boxes, even if you aren't using the marks for projects right away.

    Bonus Marks Weekend.

    Bonus Marks Weekend.
    Since the launch of season nine, we only had one bonus marks weekend. Next bonus marks weekend is at the end of next month.

    It stinks.

    We also need a bonus ec weekend.

    I also feel like the 'Mirror Universe' event has not been around for years.

    We need those daily calendar events back, so we have something to do on a daily basis.

    Still no Fix for the Power tray bug :(

    This is the most annoying bug. Every time I change from ground to space I have to re-do the power tray from scratch for every ship on every toon!
    This has been a "Known Issue" for the last two patches and it completely ruins gameplay.
    I also find it also de-selects the Andorian Wing weapons on the Zen Store Andorian Escort.

    Please fix this soon.
    Pretty please, with a cherry on top.
    ;-)

    I don't know, it's nice - sometimes, that a maintainance thead remains on-topic, rather than turning into something else based on one person using one word.

    Meh, I like the crazy off-topic maintenance threads. They are humorous, and a fun way to pass the time, and they have a lower concentration of whining.

    While Trendy was hanging out on ESD, I mentioned to her about the issue. Spamming the chatroom and forums with alterations of one word should constitute in a warning. Its such an annoying trend. No pun intended.

    Until they deal with the issue, I will flood a moderator's private message box. Maybe they will get the idea that somethings are annoying.

    I agree. I also don't mind people being funny.

    Trendy's a CM. She, like the Devs, is excepted from the rules.

    I agree. I also like the humor.
    Meh... SWTOR has the "Jawa movie title" game, both SWTOR and STO have the "bacon" game. Both have the "Chuck Norris facts" game, and I'm sure WoW and all the others have some of the same or equivalents.

    General chat will sometimes be used for frivolous things. Just because you don't find value in it doesn't mean there isn't any. And "annoying" is in the eye of the beholder. If everything that someone found annoying was banned, everything would be illegal.

    Perhaps, but bacon seems the most prominent. I realise it's all in good fun, but the gag risks going the way of those anti-humor, god-awful and downright ancient Gorn jokes.

    Oh, god, the Gorn jokes...

    The only jokes that should be perma-banned from STO.

    Well, we can come up with some new material. Maybe some jokes about farina?

    EDIT: Ooh, a Wheel of Time joke! We can all choose a Forsaken or Shadowspawn to be; Trendy gets to be Shai'tan because she is supreme overlord of the forums, but otherwise...

    I call Ishamael, the Betrayer of Hope! He has the coolest title!

    She isn't required to lead by example.

    The CMs and Devs have absolute power here. You don't like it, you leave.

    I happen to like the bacon jokes, myself.

    Trendy will be back, but her laptop gained sentient consciousness and evolved into a giant glowing ball of light, and promptly got the hell out of here to avoid anymore bacon jokes and Gorn humor. So no more working from home for her early in the AM.

    In the meantime, let's keep this thread on topic so I don't have to start handing out moderation to anyone before things get anymore back and forth flamey.

    This topic is about the maintenance, not the rep system "everyone" hates, not Ba'al, not bacon.

    Maintenance.

    As far as the Loadout tray problem is concerned, the Devs must still be trying to figure out a fix. Once maintenance is done, I will check in on current known issues that have remained. Hopefully they will have a fix by next week's patch.

    Aaaw... I like the Bacon and Ba'al diversions! :(

    Sorry to hear that Trendy's laptop got borked up. Hope she gets a fix soon!

    Yeah, that loadout bug is driving a lot of people crazy. I hope that they fix it fast and well, then take a well-earned break.

    What problem are you currently experiencing?

    We have posted fixes since Season 9 launch to different problems that players have had, and gotten response from a majority of players that the fix worked for them.

    I can try and determine which problem you are having in particular and see if I can help.

    No fix is coming for her sadly. She needs a new laptop, but that is kinda $$, and rent comes first.

    We need a kickstarter to get her Borg-Forum implants like I have.

    It's... Bliss.....!

    I believe the issues they're having are from this thread here:

    http://sto-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=1090131

    I'm not having any graphics problems right now (thankfully) so I'm afraid I can't give you any more info than that.

    Kickstarter?

    Well, if I had more than 15 bucks that I need for food currently in my bank account, I'd start one right up.

    Tell her that she doesn't need a Mac, I have a Lenovo ThinkPad E530 and it works just fine, half the price of a MacBook.

    Well, then Cryptic better get used to wallets closing, because I know of ALOT of people who hate what they did to the rep system. Some of my friends have quit until they bring the rep back, and they have bought EVERYTHING from the c-store.

    that's kinda the point. they already bought everything from the stores so they are no longer cared for by the game. its the new people who have yet to spend their money that they want to attract. who cares about retention. all long timers do is B*&^h and moan about Crappy changes.

    With the Mac builds, I cannot say. I don't have enough experiencing with seeing problems that have been reported and fixed since it launched.

    Best thing to do is check the sub-forum about the Mac bugs and see if you can locate something similar to what you are experiencing. If not, file a new bug report there to get attention drawn to the problem.

    The Dev team is learning as they go regarding fixing Mac probs, but I know a lot players have been restless waiting for fixes. There are a lot of Mac builds that have and have not worked.

    I wish I had the power to make all Macs behave properly, but I just work in the forums/social media. We all appreciate the patience of Mac users who are still experiencing problems, but we also know that patience is limited.

    Hopefully you will get to play with all of us soon!
