You do realize how much work that would take, and thus how long? It would be quicker to make an entirely new game.
thats basically what he said, only to wrote in the same way he said it. yeah it would be far more trouble then it would be worth for a few hours of downtime each week, big deal.
you spend 8 hours sleeping on average and you waste those hours. what about your job as well, another 8 or so hours in the crapper. these things happen.
T6 Miranda Hero Ship FTW. Been around since Dec 2010 on STO and bought LTS in Apr 2013 for STO.
Your pain runs deep.
Let us explore it... together. Each man hides a secret pain. It must be exposed and reckoned with. It must be dragged from the darkness and forced into the light. Share your pain. Share your pain with me... and gain strength from the sharing.
if they gave players incentives to play a test server they tried out all these updates on ,I'm almost sure 95% of these silly issues could be nipped in the bud long before releasing the patch/update to the retail server. something simple like 25 zen for each hour you play on the test server, even if they set a maximum of hours you could claim zen for it would still generate more traffic on their test server than they currently have.
Except that a many people do play Tribble and find things and lets PWE know. Unfortunately, the bits are released without many of the fixes.
Your saying your losing faith in humanity one at a time a whole bunch on here are causing me to lose faith in humanity and put up (meaning your programming skills and such) or shut up.
well i am new here so only thing i can say about actions like that is that they wont venture very far with their work. that a big shame.
cryptic does what it wants, it would claim to be on the players side, but if that were half way true some of the most brilliant ideas some players on these forums have come up with would of found their way on the game and the grind would be a lot less then where it is. but it has never happened.
im not going to go all the way out and state just the negative points though, they do try to correct their mistakes and improve their own quality of work, but how you would define that is upto you.
my experience is generally negative, but i stick around anyway, they are not getting rid of me that easily :P

Hello ,
Having reviewed the information you supplied, this may be the result of a gameplay bug/glitch. We would like to resolve the issue as quickly as possible; however some issues require development time from departments outside of Customer Support and cannot be immediately resolved by a Game Master.
The best way for us to ensure that this is resolved as quickly as possible is for you to directly submit an in-game bug report with your findings by selecting Bug Report from the list of available help options. This ensures that our developer and quality assurance teams receive all of the information they need to properly investigate the cause of a given issue.
Though the QA team will not directly respond to individual bug reports, all submissions are reviewed, and our developers will work to resolve the issue as soon as possible.
Thanks again for reaching out to us. We hope that you continue to enjoy your adventures!
I really don't see what the big deal is. Every MMO I've played has always had some issue with a new patch or update, even with some of the most intense screening not everything can be streamlined. Technology is great until it isn't, and even some of the biggest names in the Electronic industry as a whole have issues with new releases. *shrugs* It happens guys, just let them do their jobs and when it's back up we'll know.
Stuck at Retrieving list of characters, then Login2_Timeout error... any ETA?
Checking with them about it still trying to wrangle a good ETA. Account server is letting people get in just fine, now we're moving onto the stall at Character Retrieval.

thank you for this message,was starting to worry that my chars had revolted and defected to SWO... lol just kidding:D
This is just AWSOME, Its fixed then something else is still broke this reminds me of blind leppers performing surgery on each other.
Heres an Iidea how about you guys test the update before bringing the server back online for the public, itll save you havibng to hear alot of whining and would show that your competent about your jobs.
Or we could just continue to try to be BRAIN CHILDREN.
I cannot log in my free to play game. I demand a refund of all money I spent four years ago and a bonus 5000 zen for the cruelty I have to face. Now. And free T6 ships. All of them.

I believe the answer may lie in poor programming. >_>
Its bad leadership.
A good leader would spot the trouble and have it fixed or replaced.
If someone is not doing their job then they should be replaced its that simple.
However under this leadership its more of the same, they turn in poor quality work and no one bothers to check it and then it gets pushed out for the masses to discover.

I've played most of the popular MMOs and even some of the more obscure one's. Not a single one had problems as frequently as STO does. Beta tested for a bunch, too, including STO.

40 days is the only grind you kinda are forced to do, 1 time on your main toon. 20 days on your alts.
Otherwise for dilithium, 10 KDF toons farming Maurading assingments, while your playing your main.
That is it. EC is in the RnD system.
Game is easier then ever to make fundage in, and its about the right difficulty to have an actual challange.

Very true, but I don't think ive played a MMO that patches every week.

I can get past the authentication process now, but the login server still appears to be down.

PLEASE check they work right!!!
