I have a dumb question...who is Steve Ricossa and how does he fit into the hierarchy with D'Angelo and Geko?

Severe UI lag! Omega particles not showing up where the mission locator says they are, the ones that do show up aren't actually counting any particles you collect. My BOFF powers are screwed up and when I change them to what they should be again, it resets them as soon as I close the window....
Happy Anniversary, I'll be back in a week once the bugs get fixed.
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!!

So, in other words, everything is like it always is with big updates ?
Yep particle collection is bugged to whatever. I got one on Qo'nos as I was the only person on said molecule but trying to get one on Gonalda or Drozana I now get no score or if I do get a score I get no credit for having played at that location. The quest is broken badly.
I'm still downloading the patch that I prepatched last week.
No Idea why the prepatching never works for me, but it's getting old. Well, I do have an idea but...
Sad to hear that BOff abilities got screwed up, but not surprised.
Also not happy to hear that the Anniversary grind, er, game sounds like it's bugged as well. Again, not surprised.
I AM glad that the giveaway today is actually something I don't have so I look forward to getting that when I log in. Whenever THAT will be since, as I previously mentioned, I'm still downloading the patch that prepatched LAST WEEK!
Make a man a fire and keep him warm for the day.
Set a man on fire and keep him warm for the rest of his life.
Yea, the Omega Molecule Stabilization is bugged..... I keep getting a score of 0, no matter what I do. (And sometimes, the molecule isn't even there to interface with.)
Just tried the Party Patrol - 2 miniQs show up in the one with presents. One just sits in the middle while the other runs between the 3 boxes.
And every time I change maps, my power tray gets rearranged.
1. login timeouts
2. massive lag
3. academy minigame bugged
4. particle scan does not work at all (just when i press the beginn button i instantly get a popup telling that i got a score of 0) -> tried this meanwhile 5 times .... no rewards... no way to play this mini game at all....
5. all my loadouts (over 40 on my 8 toons) are totally messed up and not working correctly anymore
6. my boffs have lost their skills (my beam boats have cannons skills now)
7. trying to select a different skill for one of my boff resulted in lt. commander slot being turned into justa lt. slot for this ship
8. PVE is of course dead now
I have never seen a game developer before which showed such a high level of incompetence.
Celebrating 5 years STO?
How, when everything is broken?
To bad you guys weren't proud or humble enough to use your available in game announcement system to inform players that because of the way you 'revamped' the Boff training system, the wrong abilities may be slotted as default; and tell those who don't read the forums or patch notes (aka the MAJORITY of the STO playerbase) why their Boff powers are messed up.
Also, I like how the Blog on expanding content does mention the four new Romulan arc missions; but neglects to mention that 11 other story missions were completely removed; so yeah, I guess we have a contracting STO universe (and again, I fail to understand why some of those missions that were more 'stand alone' like 'Saturday's Child' weren't just repurposed as a system patrols <-- as that would be better then the 'Kill 5' missions that most system patrols are in STO.)
Cryptic is the only MMO developer I've seen that seems to take pride in 100% removing playable MMO content on a regular basis; as well a FAILING to communicate major changes to it's entire playerbase even when they build the ability to do such communication in to their own proprietary game engine. <--- You'd think someone in a Lead position might take the time to make sure MAJOR changes were properly communicated in their own game, especially when an in game tool to do so exists.

Amazing to think it has been five years. I'm very pleased to see STO is still around. It really is a wonderful medium to tap into my love of Star Trek with other people.
With this type of patch encompassing so much change corresponding with the live event I'm pretty sure we all expected some sort of complication.
Hopefully they'll get all the "oops" figured-out & corrected in the next day or two so it wont hinder too many players.
Is it a pain? Heck yeah, but in the long-run I hope these changes are to improve the game-play & not just create more window-dressing changes to get us to spend more resources especially if we already had that skill for example LOL.
It was the first time being queued for log-in though so that shows all of the players' enthusiasm for STO.
Where's the BOFF exchange to Dilithium vendor I wanted now that PWE & Cryptic have castrated their usefulness a bit LOL.

Time to adjust my sig again.
Hope we make it to Anniversary #6.

And I include our volunteer forum mods here too. You guys have a hard job, thank you for doing it.

Still waiting to be able to use forum titles
and was it so necessary to reset ours bofs's skill?
Playing STO spamming FAW is like playing chess using always the computer's suggested moves

I don't see many people...
I only see instance with 24Persons...
Is that normal?
You can find/contact me in game as @PatricianVetinari. Playing STO since Feb 2010.
