    Is there a typo on the Launcher then, since it says 12:30 am, shouldn't it be pm?

    Thanks for bringing this to my attention! I'll have someone take a look at it.

    One has to hope this will address the strangeness surrounding loading into a Risa map taking an unusually long time, and sometimes finding dozens if not hundreds of 'searching for the artifact' reticules smeared across the map once you arive.

    In any event, thanks for the heads up. I hope it goes smoothly. :)

    It did say that they resolved the long loading times in the patch notes.

    Thank you!
    Now a LTS and loving it.

    still no fix for the problem with the kit powers/tribble/remodulator/hypos which remove the weapon from the hands!! when??

    but thx for the fix for that: Resolved an issue which was causing excessive load times when loading into Risa.

    You know what i'm going to say. Terran shorts and body parts for certain species still not fixed. How long before a item that has to be obtained via purchasing master keys to open lock boxes to obtain Lobi to exchange for item gets fixed please. This is not a free costume but an expensive commodity that was launched broken. fixed then broken again over a month ago now.

    Summer Event:
    Resolved an issue which was causing excessive load times when loading into Risa.

    Can i hear a Hallelujah?

    6.5 hours is quite a bit, but if it gets rid of the horrible loading for Risa it is totally fine with me.
    This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.

    I, for one, welcome our new server overlords - I mean - server overhaul.

    And the missing items issue still goes unresolved after more than a year.

    Nothing fixes everything. :D

    But even if it visibly fixes just Risa (and the recent trend to sluggish map transfers in general) I'd be more than OK with it and consider a long maintenance worth it.

    soft hardware :P at one point it took me five minutes to load into risa. that was after crashing, butchering my launcher and having to reinstall the game.

    Server is unavailable now so maintainance started 5 minutes early?

    I'm curious why the servers were already down a full twenty minutes before they said they would I had hoped to get on and at least do Flying High. Maybe they think that if they get a head start, then then when they go over long, it won't look as bad.

    When we all grow a mirror beard, that's when :disappointed:

    6 hours downtime for such a short list is pretty big disappointment though. Least they will fix the horrible loading screen issue and Spiral the Great Tower bug. Although I bet when they patch this something else will explode.

    I also don't like the federation epic. I rather use the superior ones even if they are slower.. I wish there was more to choose from for the hover boards. Meh..

    i happened to be searching on google for anything to hint at what the server infrasructure update would mean, hard or soft, but didnt turn up anything..I did come across
    http://www.playstationlifestyle.net/2016/06/15/e3-2016-star-trek-online-ps4-preview-playstation-lifestyle/#/slide/1

    In this next link something of interest maybe,
    http://mmo-play.com/mmo-blog/star-trek-online-agents-of-yesterday-preview#.V14ESUmfCtw.twitter

    I'll quote a small part of it..

    "Before we begin our STO Agents of Yesterday preview, I must first digress to another topic we discussed: the port of Star Trek Online to both the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 consoles. This is a pretty big undertaking, and the developers did quite an overhaul on the mmo to optimize it for console play. Cryptic began working on the conversion last year. In that time, the game engine has been updated, the visuals have been improved, and a new UI has been created. "

    instead of waiting for the long loading time for Risa,

    we will have longer waiting time for maintainance

    I wish that the devs are fixing the EXTREME server lag.

    also i did a speedtest on my network and i was getting (like always) around 300 Mbps on the down and up.

    Here's a thought, instead of always putting this 'The Assignments to recruit Romulan Bridge officers do not appear' on your patch notes why don't you actually fix it!!!
  • nebfabnebfab Member Posts: 672 Arc User

    @meowcat285 You can always log in and download earlier than full server start. You can't actually play though.

    ADD: And it seems there's no actual patch yet, at least not for me...

    It's not that easy, the assignments have clearly been accidentally cloaked and now we can't find the switch to decloak it!

    Good on the fixes. Looking over everything else. Well it's good to see that you're adding new stuff. I just have one question. When is the KDF Character model revamp, the one that removes the cartoonish look, that was announced last year going to be released?
