I am truly tired of seeing Server not Responding and Disconnected from Server. Tell me you were not so foolish as to spend all that time trying to get console players here that you decided to forget the very people that have been here for so long. Really, this is beyond poor and sorry, this is what one used to see when Blizzard first Launched WoW, we are Years past those days, catch up please and fix this Disconnect and sever not responding issues.

I've been disconnected several times but I figure once Cryptic makes enough money from key ring bundles, and T6 Connie chanceboxes, they'll distribute a bunch of those net profits into helping make sure the shard remains stable enough that we can actually enjoy the game with our T6 Connies that are blinged out with Epic Mk XIV equipment after buying a few thousand dollars worth of keyring bundles.
If lots of people have no problems and some do, it might suggest it's not exactly in Cryptic's hand, doesn't it?
There is no direct single line between a player's machine and the Cryptic server.
The name "World Wide Web" alludes to how the internet is build - it's many small lines between individual machines that might be in physical proximity, and in aggregate this allows any two seperate machines A and B to connect - but which specific route is taken is not easily predictable, and it's not controlled by A and B.
Now, if it was a disconnect for a full 24hours or more, that's a different issue. But mild disconnect or even moderate lag is really pretty normal in most games. you just don't notice it, since they may not tell you when service is lost like sto does.
The complaint is fine. And it's fine to complain. Just with this topic, it really could be a lot of things.
I do see the disconnect text nearly every load screen. but for me, it's never more than a few seconds. annoying, but not much more than that.
Spent a good hour with SNR's and disconnects, this morning (UK).
Strange thing is, STO is the only online game I get it with..
This type of Smart A remark is not helpful and in fact the reason many people don't visit or post here. Before you show everyone just how arrogant and ignorant YOU are, please stop and think before you degrade people.
OP , I have been plagued with SNR's for several months now. I first contacted my ISP and had a Tech come out. Nothing wrong with my internet. To confirm , I have zero issues with other MMO's that I play or normal internet use. This problem is isolated only to STO. I have even went so far as to take my PC to another location with internet , in the middle of ISA I received an SNR.(not only on map change)
Online chat seems to suggest and Video card driver issue or a RAZOR gaming mouse/keyboard issue with chromaaps?? Not sure about that. I don't have the Razor and my Video card driver is up to date.
Hopefully Cryptic will correct this server quality issue.
I'd be finding out the problem there. you should not have ANY timeouts
When you have no general internet problems and no issues in other MMO's, just STO, then that doesn't lead me to conclude my internet is the problem, but that STO is.
My SNRs though are not unbearable, every now and then one appears in a loading screen, annoying when I'm recording stuff for Youtube, but otherwise inconsequential.
It's not major, just annoying.
On the other hand, if the server farm itself were the single point of failure, one would presume all of us would be experiencing these issues; after all, we all use the same server farm (as do players of any of Cryptic's other games). As can be seen, several of us have not had any such issues, therefore the point of failure is not one shared by all players. Therefore, it is elsewhere.
When the issues were widespread, the problem was traced back to Cogent, the local ISP where the server farm is located (and in many places in the States, ISPs have effective monopolies - around here, for instance, if you want anything better than a DSL connection, you're going to deal with Comcast, nobody else has any lines in this area). At the time, Cogent was fighting with Verizon subsidiary Level 3 over how much Cogent was being paid to handle Internet traffic originating from Level 3 connections, and had taken to throttling throughput on any data coming from a Level 3 node. The "sorting" there happened when those two parties came to some sort of agreement (while helping to point out why so many people are pushing so hard for Net Neutrality laws, which would make arguments like that moot at best).
No idea what the issue is here, although I do find it odd that timeouts in one's local ISP are forgiven, while timeouts elsewhere are signs that Cryptic is having problems.
Looks like the UK is directed through another hub than the Netherlands where i reside. When i ran a ping test i had a 100% package loss at cogent in Boston.
Either way since cogent has been the source of a heap of trouble in the past it is prudent to keep an eye on that.
Now on the network thread it is an issue with cogent and cryptic side because most people getting a problem are getting the link problem after it crosses into the cogent network..(Going by tracert from past and present..) because with other online stuff and SWTOR I have never seen this happen..It therfore leads me to believe it is something to do between Cryptic and their ISP provider which is effecting MOST BUT NOT ALL players..

eu2 its not responding from some time, for the ones that does not know how to configure the proxy in the laucher options:
-setproxy xyz.proxy.crypticstudios.com 80
where xyz is the name of the chosen server with less ping.
Hope that helps.
