    sometimes i wonder where people get the infomation from lol

    it was on tribble for a week or 2

    It was updated several times on Tribble too. I was there.

    I'm saying that the live patch today includes more than what was on Tribble, which is extra last minute work and extra chance for bugs as well as hopefully some fixes.

    In some other games, even minor fixes don't go live without weeks of public testing.

    Today's patch, based on the German notes, is clearly something which features a large number of small things not on Tribble. There are bugs on Tribble that probably won't be on Holodeck. There will probably be bugs on Holodeck that weren't on Tribble.

    This isn't bashing. This is just fact based on what we've seen before. Tweaks and changes are hitting Holodeck that were not on Tribble. Tribble never had the complete and fully updated Delta Rising. I'd even wager that there is voiceover in today's patch added since the last Tribble patch.

    All of this likely means it's been a busy week for the devs and it will stay busy for awhile.

    Nah, not enough Gorn jokes to resemble that.
    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.

    Gorn jokes are more a DS9 thing. For ESD chat, we would need more angry people, key/gold spammers and the random noob who wonders why his char is running against a wall.

    We will be bringing down Star Trek Online tomorrow, Tuesday, October 14th at 6AM PDT for our expansion maintenance and to apply a new patch. Stay tuned for our full list of patch notes and expect this maintenance to last for 4 hours. The test server, launcher and access to manage your account may also be unavailable during some portions of the maintenance.

    Thanks for your patience and understanding!

    - The Star Trek Online Team
    We are only two hours and fifteen minutes into the upgrade.

    why is the only queue thats actually worth playing in the entire game "temporarily disabled"

    also why cant the cms be bothered to post blogs on their own forums? and patch notes?
    pvp = small package

    Actually you can get on, but what happens is you get past the screen and then you're told you cannot connect due to the servers. I dont get that far.

    You do realize that everything is down due to server maintenance for the expansion, right?

    Oh, you can have your fingerprints back. But I thought you would LIKE having those ridges removed, it would make basically any..."creative reacquisition" so much easier! :D:P

    On a more serious note, I have no affiliation with xternity or his fleet, but neither do I condone the actions that a certain other fleet has taken against him. This game would be a lot better if we all stopped trolling and warring with each other and got along--looking at both sides here.

    (note that I support semi-RP PVP fleet "wars", such as the Ausmonauts PVP feud between their KDF and Fed fleets. Those are fun. When it turns into trolling instead of a good clean PVP game, though, that's not cool)

    yup and agreed with you there Worf. It reaches a point though where things cross beyond the game level and mere trolling and they passed that point several months ago a little while after they failed on that thread. They've been allowed to get this far because players in-game aren't all like you or me, and there's no Smirk in game to provide oversight and act like he was able to in here.

    For jerks like these who think they can do anything they want because they "have a lot of members and are therefore superior" (their own words), the only solution is firm action and a community that works together. Apathy and complacency are the very traits they use against players and it's our own fault if we don't act and continue to let them bully at will. I haven't been complacent, neither have you; the more the community is aware, the less they're able to do to harm players.

    yes, you missed my point. I don't get to the server not responding screen. My previous computer I did. This computer I don't. It just crashes while loading, BEFORE it can connect.

    Every patch I have found that the first time I load it if I click my mouse at any time during the loading screen it locks up.......so I just sit and it takes longer for some reason but I get through it.

    that's true. I'm hoping they add a quick patch before they turn on the servers, but I'm not holding my breath.

    Somethings not right here


    The launcher says down from 0100 to 0500 UTC.

    Current UTC is 1530, server is not up.



    Has it really taken ten hours longer than planned and if so why doesnt the launcher say?

    Or do Americans have another thing in mind with UTC?
