What is the Arc Client?
Install Arc

Thank you for wasting my time.

A late patch, 3:30pm going live, later than usual, which is just fine, I can plan around that. So it is 2:30 my time and I decide I will sit here and wait, watch a few YouTube videos or something. Check back at 3:30 my time, they delayed live for another hour and a half. So basically they just wasted a full hour of my time, an hour I could have done something else with. Thanks Cryptic, really appreciate that.

    Are you new to MMOs?
    this stuff happens all the time. Sometimes maintenance takes longer than expected.
    Just don't plan to play on Thursdays. That way, if you decide to log on and the servers are up, you will be pleasantly surprised!

    STO is not exactly a crucial service. OP can afford for it to be down to gain some perspective.

    If that is indeed the leader of Starfleet Dental then every terrifying question I have ever had of that fleet has been tragically answered...

    Yes, yes. It is a villainous conspiracy, the way they refuse to plan their maintenance around your extra-special-snowflake personal schedule, and make you wait like the rest of us. It's almost as if they don't think you're special at all....

    It's been off all afternoon and evening so far here in the UK. Current time 8:52pm.
    So pretty much all of prime time gone today......

    Agreed. It's best to put these things in perspective, at the end of the day, it's just a game, why should you get mad?

    You got lucky. Imagine you would have been able to log in, how much time you would have wasted then!

    OP, William Shatner has some advice for you:

    No one forced you to spend part of your life watching YouTube instead of going outside, reading a book, or turning a rap song into a spoken-word piece.

    Games like this a are a gordian knot of code, sometimes things don't go as planned.... Though I do love the fact that Starfleet Dental gets blamed for all this games problems.

    My favorite was the whole BFAW debacle. "We fixed* BFAW." (BFAW doesn't crit) "We fixed it this time, for real" (BFAW doesn't proc weapon procs) "Okay, now we've got it for sure." (BFAW Doesn't apply accuracy bonuses) "Nailed it!"

    1 hour for a silly entitlement claim. you sleep a full 8 hours a day and yet you do not complain about these hours, you also spend time clothing, feeding going to the shower and toilet each day and brushing teeth, washing clothes, cleaning crockery, doing things in the back yard, filing paper work with the local council or ordering stuff, watching things on tv and so on.. and here you are complaining about 1 hour of time?

    The majority of the maintenance was for Arc hence the delay.

    It is truly sad that time spent ensuring the game functions properly is considered "wasted" by those who contribute nothing to it. It's terrible for developer morale.

    I'm sure if they realized that someone as important as you was waiting, they would have just brought the server up in a buggy/broken state just to make you happy.

    Yes, it would have had a huge negative impact on the entirety of the player base.. but it's worth it to avoid wasting a whole hour of your precious time. I'm sure you can expect a formal apology from them pretty soon. It will more then likely be the top story on the World News.

    Insert witty signature line here.

    Important people pay for their own private server. Ergo...

    Ummm... I'm not seeing how this is Cryptic's faultt...
    You... You chose to sit and wait beforehand... Cryptic had no hand in your decision.

    Oh wait, I get it... Agents from Section 31 were there, holding phasers to your head... yes?
