    Now what I would see as a semi compromise? Add the twitter feed to the STO arc page right above the news feed. This way ya don't have to go to twitter to see the updates. Does that solve everything? Newp. But it's a step in the right direction.

    This is what came to my mind as I read through this thread, I don't see any reason why they can't just have the twitter feed post in the forums as well.

    also comparing the devs of neverwinter with the devs here is incorrect. they are 2 separate teams. just cause neverwinter has something doesnt mean it happens here.

    We had Bran and then got a - 0

    Figures its this update too. I'm usually not able to play until the evening, but I'm stuck at home all day today with nothing better to do than watch the snow fall.

    I'm at home with two days off and a rain storm battering down on the area. Fun times in cali today! :P

    I hear the drums echoing tonight
    But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
    She's coming in, 12:30 flight
    The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation
    I stopped an old man along the way
    Hoping to find some long forgotten words or ancient melodies
    He turned to me as if to say, "Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you"

    It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
    There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
    I bless the rains down in Africa
    Gonna take some time to do the things we never had

    The wild dogs cry out in the night
    As they grow restless, longing for some solitary company
    I know that I must do what's right
    As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti
    I seek to cure what's deep inside, frightened of this thing that I've become

    It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
    There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
    I bless the rains down in Africa
    Gonna take some time to do the things we never had

    Hurry boy, she's waiting there for you

    It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
    There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
    I bless the rains down in Africa
    I bless the rains down in Africa
    (I bless the rain)
    I bless the rains down in Africa
    (I bless the rain)
    I bless the rains down in Africa
    I bless the rains down in Africa
    (Ah, gonna take the time)
    Gonna take some time to do the things we never had

    God, couldn't log in this morning because of some "to many login attempts" or something, even though STO was working fine the night before.

    It's Thursday, so I take my lunch 30 mins later so I can align it with STO after the patch, so I can do the race, and rep, on my toons.

    Then get told it's going another 30 mins...

    30 mins later, it's still down...

    Shame I want the T6 Carrier, or I wouldn't even really care.

    Sorry to say but Branflakes did a MUCH BETTER job in keeping players informed during downtimes (Scheduled and unexpected downtimes) as well as comminicating with players in general. Twitter can be an addition to the forums but never a replacement.

    Yeah it suck that the STO CMs decided to start closing the maintenance threads. Things on this forum have gone down hill drastically of late.
    Join date is wrong, I've actually been around since STO Beta.
    True alters don't have a "main". Account wide unlocks for all unique event rewards!!

    To this day, I still think the lyrics are I miss the rains instead of I bless the rains...and that's why this thread made me think of that song. I miss the threads... :D

    Oh yes, we ban people for telling the truth all the time! :rolleyes:

    It's HOW you present your information not the content of your information that tends to get people warned/banned.

    o_O uh last time I checked I don't have access to the database to alter time stamps nor post as other players (well minus my husband that that's another issue) so obviously no, I didn't post it on this forum Smirk did.

    I was pointing out that it was posted a bit ago to the official downtime thread so why were you repeating it was my point.

    It's funny, cause watching it today was the first time I noticed that...I didn't want to say anything, though - but yeah, it's like seeing a spot on a tie; and I just could not unsee it.

    Finally a set of patches that I can smile about! Kudos to the Cryptic team for finally getting around to these fixes:
    Resolved an issue with the loadout system which would occasionally un-slot Power Icons, Bridge Officer and/or Assigned Duty Officers when transitioning to a new map.

    Resolved an issue in the Dyson Sphere Battlezone where players who were teamed were not getting enough credit to earn rewards.

    It is now easier to gain completion credit for participating in “Tide of Ice”.

    Items unlocked through completing “Tide of Ice” will now unlock for the entire account.
    This will require only 1 character on an account to unlock all new Winter Event items through completing “Tide of Ice”.

    Adjusted the race flags for the “Fast and the Flurious” to better positions in the finish zone.

    Resolved an issue which was causing some snowmen to spawn underground during “Snowball Fight”.

    Greatly reduced the frequency of the VO for the Winter Epohh Researcher while in the gazebo.

    If these items are all actually fxed, this represents a significant cleanup of things that were not broken last year (except for the Epohh researcher). I personally didn't care about the account-wide ToI unlock, since we have to run the event 10x for the accolade anyway. But it's always better to be rewarded for effort given in events, so thank you!
