First day I couldn't get any points no matter how many times I ran the mini game. Next day and today I can't even complete the FRAK'n mission to get the stupid Q-somethings! :mad:
At this point I don't see any reason to continue trying for the so-called "free" ship. Unless I wast lots of money buying the stupid Q-things. But then it's not really free. And you know the dev's won't bother fixing this until the very last day, when there is no time left to get enough Q things anyway.
Sound familiar people? (Hint: Breen warship)
the breen ships they were trying to fix the entire time, but the fixes kept not working.
you are suffering, meanwhile I have the ship and am quite close to an Omega tech upgrade, so things do work.
Everywhere I look, people are screaming about how bad Cryptic is.
What's my position?
That people should know what they're screaming about!
(paraphrased from "The Newsroom)
Ehh. Best case the fixes take longer than three days and they extend the event.
Worst case, they double the amount of Q-Comms dropped from the minigame and let us rerun Dust for another 400.
Nuclear option, the Kobali ship just gets given to us for logging in.
I don't really care anyway. Just waiting for the next 50k event so I can get some Zen to buy a Mogh. My Klingon has been rolling in that Dyson ship for too long.

... It'll be fixed in plenty of time. That or they'll do something else to allow you to get the ship. Relax, calm down and leave it for a few days. You only need do the daily 15 times to collect enough (If you complete the new Episode), so that's more than enough time still.
relax. breathe. STO is only a video game. It isn't the end of the world you couldn't get the start you wanted on acquiring the Anniversary Ship. Plenty of time left until March 1st.

Right so you can't complete the mission on normal?
It's quite simple really. The only hard part is the panel room and that's easy when you use a pistol with primary fire set to autofire (not secondary). Then you concentrate on the panels and voila you make it (don't step on the electrified bits...).
The Daily for Omega traces now works. If you get an area that doesn't, drop the mission and retake it. Only know failure areas are Bajor, ESD in Space and that's about it.

The part with electricity is difficult for the frist time too. Just wait until the sparks die and move ahead, while stopping for the next sparks, repeat all over again.
With the bridges stay away from the sparky plates. They trigger the bridges to pull back. So watch your steps and choose the easy mod.
I died more than a dozen time on the first attempt. on second and third I got accolades for finishing the electricity part in under 2 minutes and for not falling down on the bridges. I am stupid on such things, so I guess you can do it too.
And the minigame seems to improve now. I finished them today on 3 accounts without any problem.
But does anyone have a clue to how to get in touch with the support????
Two of my characters suddenly won´t load and if I try the entire game crashes............ WHAT the frell can I do when I can´t even send a frelling mail to them?????? :mad: This game gets worse by the minute.........
But ....but it's okay that they locked the ship behind yet another grind, don't you know that's exactly what you wanted as a player? Didn't you realize that it's the best system out there to receive a free gift? Your time isn't valuable so don't worry about it, the JJ Abrams style management will help you understand just what you want no matter what just like the Old Cardassian government.

LOL at this game being grindy. Don't ever play any other MMO ever, your head might explode.
It takes a lot of entitlement to expect them to mail you top end gear with no gameplay, and in most other MMOs they'd never be able to get anything as good with so little gameplay.

Since you brought up both of the dumbest and worst cliches on these forums:
1. Poor service and low quality is still poor service and low quality. Just because someone else is worse (or even as bad) doesn't make it right.
"I tried to cancel my Comcast cable and they spent an hour yelling at me, added extra fees, hung up on me with a string of expletives, and then sent me a bill for calling them."
"You think that's bad? AT&T did the exact same thing to me, but then made me listen to dated 'Yo mama so fat' jokes."
Yes, that is worse, but it doesn't make what Comcast did right. This is a pointless argument to keep saying "X is good because Y is so much worse."
2. When a consumer pays a provider for a service, that consumer is in fact "entitled" to satisfaction. How is this supposed to be a bad thing?
The only bad comes from consumers too foolish to hold a provider to high standards. That's where you get dangerous and shoddy products, predatory and exploitative services, and flat-out abusive customer relations.

the difference being its only "poor service" in your opinion, some of us don't consider playing a 2 minute minigame daily for 2 weeks to be all that inconvienient to get a free ship :rolleyes:
I just said "TRIBBLE it" and dropped getting the ship in the "Event" tab. All I keep getting is mixture of places to go, where. even if i where able to scan it would not check off that the place in question was done. This **** isn't worth it, in many ways Cryptic is better off just handing out the ship. Would have been better than this bugged out ****!
I think people need to be checking Ground vs Space more. Easy to miss, but critical to mission success...
Chris Robert's on SC:

I think people need to get over themselves and get the 400 qmendations from the feature episode so they dont have to whine about missing a day or two of the omega game.
2. When a consumer pays a provider for a service, that consumer is in fact "entitled" to satisfaction.
Actually no you aren't... there is an EXPECTATION of satisfaction, and many companies will work with customers that were not satisfied in some form or another but there is no guarantee unless explicitly stated.
The player/customer is obviously entitled to somewhat satisfactory game-play otherwise the gaming companies would never get anyone to play their games. The minimum standard from any game advertised is that playing the game will be fun.
If players were expected to be serene about game-breaking bugs then every game company would be very public with a proviso starting that playing their game may result in a miserable experience due to due bugs.
This isn't the case, so despite there being no legal or divine protection for a player, both the devs and players understand the game is supposed to be fun, i.e. work as intended.
They can keep their free ship. Got enough ships to fly around. At first I was excited to get started on these anniversary missions. But so far it only lead to dissapointment. Can't be bothered anymore.
- lag - yes
- rubberbanding - yes, even in space
- button delay - yes, especially the new toggle for the EV-suit drove me crazy today
- BTD (back to desktop) - yes, at least 3 times (2 of which when somebody minigamed the same node as me)
- minigames scoring 0 - yes, several times
improvements
- I can finish the minigame now
complaint: I'm not using another rare ingame currency (lobis) to make up for a game feature that simply did not work for at least 2 days.

I wasn't clear before. I finished the mission "dust to dust". It's the daily mission that is not working for me.
Cryptic really needs to fix this annoying bug (unless it was intentional? I'm so jaded, I could even believe that). I don't know about the rest of the playerbase, but that ship is extremely powerful in the right hands.

Part of the problem is the Omega upgrade item. It's so OP for upgrading that people are just farming the mats. Which means literally 100's of people sitting there playing that sodding mini-game.
I haven't had a day I couldn't complete the Daily though. It's more a case of Bail on Bajor here, though a workaround for that has been found. If you drop and restart that you can avoid a Bajor result. The other way is to start the mission "Crack in the Mirror" to get the Bajor molecule.
Most of the complaints I've seen are from people misreading the mission and going to Ground instead of Space or Vice Versa. TBH it shouldn't have that distinction, it should be Vulcan, or Andoria, not a specified ground or space.
Oh and the Omega Upgrade shouldn't be limited to grinding mats to the point of making around 2 per hour. That is horrendously slow. Only benefits those who can be happy getting RSI from that dratted mini-game. If anything I hope that I do get the immediate game completion as I still get the reward and don't have to hurt my fingers to do so. Also much faster for grinding out, which I cannot be bothered with. It's just too boring.

No. There can not be a guarantee that a customer of a computer game will be satisfied. If you love FPS you can't expect a 4X game to provide a satisfying experience.
If you paid money for STO ( which you don't need to to get access to it), you are only entitled to get what you paid for - access to the game, particular in-game items, whatever. Not that you also like it.
