Maintenance during limited time events

in Star Trek Online General Discussion
This is the second maintenance during a limited time event.

Do we get the extra 2x days as some of us have limited schedule and planned our events for certain times.

Maintenance kind of kills that for me personally, as now I am days short....

    Grow up!! It's scheduled maintenance that happens every week and everyone knows about it. Also read the EULA, you are not going to get any compensation for something that is the norm! Why should the game revolve around your life!? This event runs for 21 days, you need 14, and maintenance is 3-4 hours, so during that time it's barely half a day! You still have a week, so if you're short that means it's your fault not the company Back to school for Maths for you.

    Check you attitude at the 12 year old counter. No need for the chest thumping. I'm not upset, nor did I indicate any dissatisfaction. I was merely raising a question.

    i could see where he could assume i almost did the same thing next time try putting a few question marks in your post to symbolize it is a question to help clear a bit of confusion.

    I think you need to check yours. Acting like the company is at fault because you can't get to the computer is bad attitude at it's finest!

    He's not having a go at Cryptic though... He's just asking if there will be an extension as this maintenance can interfere with your play schedule, even if it is the norm.

    As a waiter who often works 1000-0000 and gets home at 0100, I can sympathise with the lack of free time! It's a nightmare of mine that I get 13/14 items and have to wait years for the next event haha. I think we'll manage though, good luck to you!

    You are right - please accept my apology. I'm just back from work, was looking forward to playing and I took it out on the forum.

    Short answer: no. The accommodation here is the approximate week of lee-way we have in completing event objectives. Maintenance time shouldn't be a prohibitive factor, unless you have something else going on (which is your own business.)

    Guess so.. Its what a three week event thats 21 days (give one or two i think) and over that theres maybe 6-9 hours of maintenance. Say you miss those three days because of the maintenence window theres still give or take 18 possible days and depending on what time you do the event with only a 20hr cooldown you can bump out probably one extra.

    actually you get an extra 7 days as you only need to do the mirror event for 14 of the 21 days allowed so even with your limited schedule you have plenty of time to complete the main project, if you are lucky enough to get a few optional bonus missions as well then you are doing ok.
    the extra 7 days are there to make up for any scheduled down time for maintenance and in case your limited schedule means you have to miss a day or two yourself.

    however if they have any significant unscheduled down time they do usually make up for it by extending the event.

    When I think about everything we've been through together,

    maybe it's not the destination that matters, maybe it's the journey,

     and if that journey takes a little longer,

    so we can do something we all believe in,

     I can't think of any place I'd rather be or any people I'd rather be with.

    Thanks mate and nah I'm good. Thanks for remembering me though - Boot Camp just couldn't keep up if you know what I mean :)

    I do miss the old gang - friendly crowd as I remember them. Feisty but fun.

    It was not so much the weapon. Mostly I like to finish things I start. Call it OCD :pensive:

    To give you an idea of how insane my OCD was a few seasons back... I created my own territory control. Sadly, it never really took off.

    Don't really need it. Have 11 maxed toons, 600 million credits with about 300k rolling per day, 12 Lockbox ships, my own tier 4 fleet I grinded by myself LOL and maxed out all reps on all characters and now working towards upgrading all my ships just because.

    Theres more than plenty time to complete the events, even if you miss a few days.

    Also, If there were not to be any maint during events, there would never be maint.
    Don't look silly... Don't call it the "Z-Store/Zen Store"...

    Let me put the rumors to rest: it's definitely still the C-Store (Cryptic Store) It just takes ZEN.

    I remember that :) was a cool idea.

    And If I could, I would gladly give you some spare MI tokens. (I finished on one character, and need just 2 more for my other 2 characters). Unfortunately they are bound.
    But I would if I could. :disappointed:
