    Since I know they'll fail to give some explanation as to why here, I'll post the info below.

    Hey Everyone,

    We will having our regularly scheduled maintenance tomorrow 2/26 at 6 AM PST. Unfortunately due to maintenance that we will need to complete for the account server, it is expected that maintenance will last until last until 12 PM PST. Estimated downtime for this maintenance is 6 hours, but could be extended due to unforeseen issues.

    No Patch notes, just account server maintenance and new weekly sale items.

    We'll keep you posted here with updates during the maintenance.

    Thanks,

    Dwight

    Another PR fail eh?



    Anyway, if this patch will only contain a big server maintenance, just like with NW.... nah, dare I dream of it.... one last char to speedlevel through argala...... not fun, but efficient...... :o

    We're getting bug fixes galore. STO in general gets patched every week except right before major releases.

    Just prepping for the inevitable pitchforks that people will carry when they see Argala has been nerfed.

    But the plan to do it before an XP weekend was not an accident.

    So basically 9am to 3pm Eastern Standard Time.

    Well... at least it shouldn't affect people who have a 9 to 5+ job and would be fired for playing a game in the office on company time.

    I remember a few times when they did cross-game maintenance that STO didn't receive a patch. No, not only before major releases.

    Let me hope for a little while longer..... I hate that map but it does its job.




    Edit: nevermidn me. I'll just sit here and pout like a small child....

    Their finally working Predictive Algorithms told them 6 hours was what it was going to take, after all. So, yeah, why not just say so!?

    Nope, because I'm at work then anyway. So the only way it affects me is to give me whineposts and rageposts to read at lunch :)

    Normally they post a 2 hour down time for updates/fixes, correct? This usually ends up being 4 hours or so. Therefore since they are claiming 6 hours, the game will be down for 12 total hours.
    When you see "TRIBBLE" in my posts, it's because I manually typed "TRIBBLE" and censored myself.

    Sadly, I work evenings, so this does effect me, but then again I am used to it. Wake up before downtime, DOFF and R&D, then have my day for other things.

    With any luck they're finally fixing a backlog of issues and maybe even getting rid of the ridiculous 50 - 60 level gap or something... Yeah, because those are things that are likely to happen... :P
