What is the Arc Client?
Install Arc

Okay that was a weird message

So I am playing STO right now and suddenly this message pops up. What the heck UGC, why is it relevant and why the flying saucers am I only being notified 15 minutes before it goes down if it's that relevant?

Okay tried to attach an image but can't make it work. Anyway, here's the link.

    I've never seen anything like that myself.
    Now a LTS and loving it.
    Just because you spend money on this game, it does not entitle you to be a jerk if things don't go your way.
    I have come to the conclusion that I have a memory like Etch-A-Sketch. I shake my head and forget everything. :D

    That'd be the foundry.

    @echatty Some chat in the reddit channel extrapolated that it probably stands for User Generated Content, so Foundry. And apparently it doesn't mean that the whole game is going down, at least I'm in it right now way after the time limit was up. But it would have been nice with some communication about it.
    Ah well, that's Cryptic for you. Absolutely stum unless they can't avoid it.

    User Generated Content. UGC.

    Well UTC would be Coordinated Universal Time, the one "timezone" that never alters.

    The first time you accept the terms of use for the Foundry, it clearly says that it's User Generated Content.

    Wasn't someone from Cryptic working on a huge Foundry-related project btw? And whatever happened to the Investigate Officer Reports? Are we ever going to see the replacement for that?

    Usually when they pull down a section of the game like that it means they found a bug or exploit that would unduly give players an unfair advantage.

    As they never tell you what it is, we could only guess at, but I bet it was a doozy to cause an emergency maintenance on it! tiger-17.gif​​

    When they pulled it they said they were working on something to put in its stead, since then we've heard jack and TRIBBLE about it. My guess it's either fallen at the wayside because consoles doesn't have a foundry so they don't give a KITTEN, or we will get something far inferior... three years from now. /snark

    Weren't the rewards supposed to be put directly into the missions?

    I don't know, the kill accolade farming missions I've run never qualify for reward in the first place.

    hmmm only ONE hour? interesting.... Especially since it's only that, and not associated with a client patch.
