    You have the ability to turn off the lockbox win messages and admin messages.

    I had an untold number of Pms when I logged on informing me the server was going down.

    I've never turned off the lockbox win messages. Didn't know you could.

    Too my knowledge I never turned them off. Shoot I just did a fresh reinstall on a new HD a couple weeks back. So even if they had been turned off they would have been turned back on when everything was reset with the reinstall.

    Soooooo, what is your point? You do not recall receiving the in-game message, you swear you did not turn off your settings and back that up with a story about a fresh install on a computer.

    Are you asking for some sort of compensation?

    The whack-a-mole bug smashing seems to be very annoying. I can understand the developers frustration when dealing with this. Fix one thing, a previous bug pops up.

    I'd like to add another thing:
    *My away team on Kobali Prime (notworthy being the Intelligence Officer) seems like jumping around, moving back and forth like it's trying to find a path but failing to keep on it.

    I thought the tray thing was fixed, so it goes to show the whack-a-mole bit of the problem.

    lol i noticed that with my catian intel boff but my other one does not do that

    I was given no such warning about the server coming down or was i updated to the fact.. So i'm in the middle of upgrading one of my ships " That I'm Forced to do now that this BS of a patch"Sorry Expansion came out.. And as always Cryptic never fails and coming out with something new and breaks everything else in its wake.. Bravo once again from all of us Lifetime Subs who for some stupid reason spend an insane amount of money playing this Broken MMO..:mad:

    Noob, you don't speak for me. Take your nerd rage and dishonor and go somewhere else with that TRIBBLE. This was expected to happen or were you not around for the LOR launch? This is actually smooth compared to that.

    I don't know about everyone, and this isn't being mean, but as a Fleet Admiral in 3 different fleets, I put out in all of our chats should I see forum posts about changes, downtime, or ingame messages. I do this, not to hear myself talk, but in the event that someone doesn't see them.

    For me, I am okay with them taking the game down during peak times in ANY country, should it require it. If it needs fixed, then fix it. I have worked in the computer industry for about 20 years, I understand most of the process.

    My only question has been, is there a rollback with this patch? Only because of what could potentially be 'missing' when I log back in to the game. Will I be mad, nope. I might need to redo some things, but overall, life still moves forward.

    I am enjoying the new stuff going on, mostly. But, I am also not a person who expects things to cater to me all the time, either.

    Remember this when you think of things: do you want a car that is safe and gets you where you want to go, or do you always want to worry about whether it is going to make it or not? Personally, I want what works. If it is needing an 'adjustment', then yeah, a 'recall' is required to fix the issues.

    Keep up the great things, even if I don't like all of them, they are still what we have to work with.

    Peace.

    I just hope it's not a rollback. Otherwise I may end up screwed of a lot of Zen (and mental sanity along with it).

    Wait, What? A "Rollback" ?

    I just spent money on zen, converted it to dilithium and updated some weapons.

    If it's a "rollback", what happens then?

    It's not a rollback. I'm not even sure where that's coming from, if memory serves there hasn't ever been a rollback performed on STO's live server other than during the beta testing back before launch.

    In case a dev is reading this thread, some players have reported being limited to 363,000 skill points instead of 366,000 after respeccing.

    So true.

    This has been the smoothest addition to the game since the '45 Day' roll-out.

    Smooth being very subjective, of course.

    Heh. It doesn't work all that well if you tell us where you're hiding. :P

    It's fine though. Take whatever time you guys need.

    Hell, They just rolled-forward the Maintenance Time by another hour.
    Maybe this will only be a FIVE hour roll-back now.

    Hahahaha typical, the only damned rollback (unless I've somehow missed another one) and I did actually miss it completely because I was taking a break in preparation for my binge session since I knew DR was coming out and would be shortly followed by the winter event. More than 3000 hours of game time on record and I missed that six hours.

    Still, if it were a rollback, they would have said so.

    Well that settles it, I was debating whether or not to stay up and go back in once the server was up, or go to bed now and get some sleep. I'll go sleep and hopefully things will be working tomorrow.
