    I got a red particle when I tried SF Academy

    Vulcan space one 0 score after 6 attempts and no rewards.

    Not yet tried Starbase 39

    One question I have is this is a once a day minigame, what is going to be done for players in Europe that wont be able to play until the 30th missing out on a whole days work on the minigames?

    Ridiculous. Between Dumb***es running in and spoiling the game and the particle moving as the line forms to get it done, this is just plain stupid.

    Was this not tested before it was put into place?

    Is it just me or does this problem reek of the Winter Wonderland 'Fastest BlahBlah On Ice' NPC bug/"feature".

    And you know how fast they fixed that. Oh, wait...

    Please reply here with any bugs or concerns found after the launch of the new Omega Mini-Game System on 1/29 on the Holodeck Server.

    Please only report bugs or problems here so we can keep the thread focused on Fixes, not on opinions of why individual users are unhappy with the system. We value feedback and want our players to be happy and enjoy our product, but for the sake of fixing current issues, we want to keep this a technical thread.

    Any discussions about new systems should be direct to the General Discussion Sub-forum.

    Thanks everyone, and please be patient as our Dev team is working on fixes to the current problems experienced after our launch today.

    IT DOES NOT WORK. No opinions or other comments, just stating the bug of the anniversary "mini-game" that is not functional nor fun at this point (oops, I slipped in an opinion after all).

    Lots of no score games. When it did work and I stabilized a particle I'm not even sure I was rewarded for it.
    Well excuse me for having enormous flaws that I don't work on.

    I bought STO pre-launch. The game has always been full of bugs, BUT a buggie mini-game during a big event like this tests my patience to the limit.

    Cryptic, please consider hiring some skilled programmers.

    THIS.

    We know that Bugs happen, thats the same with all Games...but you know...the Amount of Bugs in STO is plain and Simple.....RIDICILOUS, there is not a single Patch / Event and so on, that is not filled with a Dozen Game Breaking Bugs....even trying to Fix them, you break more.... The Winter Event is a Prime and SAD Example for this....you really should Hire some Skilled Programmers......:rolleyes:

    I was able to get the one on ESD after several tires of 0 score the other two are not working at all for me ( Vulcan and K7 ground )

    i think you may want to add the Q tokens as mission loot instead at this point.

    Have you even test it before putting it live? Non of my 6 chars can do daily, on one after 30 attempts collecting failed after first 5 seconds and gave particle.

    i started off by taking the mission from Q at esd, showed the particle was on the dancefloor in club 47 when i approached it, it then dissapeared, so beamed up to head out to vulcan, while sitting in sol it showed a red particle just outside esd so i approached it, minigame started, i got quite a few and when it completed it said i had an overall score of 0.. so decided to then go do the dust to dust mission till this ones worked out...

    Not sure I need to report this as others seem to have it covered but I am encountering the following problems:

    1. Prompt fails to appear (Space)
    2. Scan fails to complete/minigame fails to start (space)
    3. Minigame fails to keep score (Space)
    4. Minigame fails to flag complete at end (sometimes in conjuction w/ 3, sometimes not)

    Your playtesters fail on this one...

    You guys already have the code to fix this. Use the same code you have for the radiation samples at the academy that keeps players from jumping other players nodes.

    I am annoyed that I have to bail on this mission and won't get the reward.

    Then again, the reward is underwhelming at best. Unappealing visually, and with Bridge Officer seating arrangement reminiscent of the Galaxy Dreadnaught. Like... a Kobali ship? That species that we saw once on Voyager, being used to commemorate this game's 5th anniversary?

    Cheapens the whole thing.

    Sorry to say that for now the mini-game is broken, does not register any point, could be releated to the extreme lagging??

    So far i just scored some points on the Academy.. but the first 2, gone for a third and never passed above 15 points...

    I am able to find and access the mini games however it seems that only 1 person can at a time play the game.... unfortunately despite waiting my turn in line every time it was my turn to play some TRIBBLE would skip line and join my game and I would not get any particle dropped despite completing the game. It kept saying "0 rewards"

    I thought these particles were suppose to be accessible by multiple players at same time?

    How can you even begin to fathom that every single player in the STO community would fall in line and wait their turn assuming the are knowledgable of this issue and assuming they dont try to jack someone else's particle...

    How can we get our 40 Q commendations?

    7 mini games played 1 particle actually received because no one was around to jack it

    Even on particles where there was no one else... I started the game and then some *******s come and jack the particle and I get "0 rewards"

    This is bull****

    It looks like only 1 person per map can do the Omega Mini-game at the same time without breaking it for others. I just had following scenario:
    - 3 people in the Andoria System,
    - Nobody else at the node I was farming,
    - Score froze at 5 or 10 points.

    And even when I was able to finish the Omega Mini-Game, I always got blue traces, no other color.

    Finally I found one working in rura penthe it was blue color.
    problem is each time I got a particle destroyed complete the mini game jumped and I missed plenty os molecule to collect as the line suddenly advanced from several steps.

    Vulcan Space is currently un...win..able. No points, so no trace. :mad:

    I'm gonna say this is unacceptable and leave it at that.

    Unfortunately, the mini-game is still broken; although it was able to register a particle being nullified this time, it granted zero rewards, and at 120 points it broke again; i had Shadowplay running the whole time, and the video is linked to below:

    P.S., You need to adjust server load capacity to compensate for major patch traffic a bit more, also as evidenced in the video.

    Still not working. Off to bed now, days worth of daily mission wasted and I am not very happy. Perhaps you should make sure you have a stable product before rolling out time limited content. Still want to know whats going to be done to the people who lose out on todays daily.

    It wouldn't help you collect omega molecule remains any faster anyway, Mr. EverythingNowImmediately.

    Problems here too, got one Particle at ESD that actually worked but on Vulcan (Ground ) there are 5-20 players standing in line in front of one particle and then it still does not work. I scanned 6 particles. None worked and after a while i got disconnected every 2-3 minutes.

    Why does the game have to be so long and so annoying? You have to fly to 3 different locations, each location you have to search a particle and do the game (or stand in line until its your turn to do the game)

    I spent twenty minutes trying to complete the minigame on the Vulcan ground map. Half the time the game didn't register a score, the rest it didn't pay out. I am not happy.

    I got the mission and the first place I went was Vulcan (Space). I get there and there are dozens of other folks there trying to scan the traces as well. Scan, start the game, no score. Scan again, start the game, no score. Scan a third time, can you guess what happened? Yeah, no score.

    I sat in zone for a few minutes and chatted with some fleet members and decided to try scanning one last time. Scan, start the game and holy carp! It's actually keeping score! Until 35 points and then it just stops counting. Game ends, no reward, no credit towards mission complete.

    Not sure how the game works, but if you need to get every single particle and by missing one it stops keeping score, well then, I guess I will not be getting the ship this year as my reflexes are not good enough to catch them all.

    I want the ship, I wouldn't mind getting some upgrade kits. As things are now, I won't be getting either. I know it's bugged, broken, FUBAR'd, however you want to put it. Between this and all the other bugs, I'm not sure I even want to bother at this point. I may just go back and play the game and simply forget the 5th Anniversary is even happening.

    Which with how bugged it is, is it actually?

    My problem at Drozana Space System was when I was doing the scan first and collecting particles another person then scanned the same node. The minute the other individual scanned the node my particles quit accumulating even though the game was still continuing until the clock ran out. This also caused me to not get completion credit as well. I tried multiple times but the same thing happened repeatedly. I'm going to try when things slow down on a slower instance later.
