Maintenance during giveaway?! I AM PISSED

Woke up 2 hours before work so i can get the day's giveaway only to find out there is freaking maintenace going on. Are you FREAKING kidding me? Some of us have jobs and then have to sleep when we get home and so I was going to get it before going into work. But No. They effin closed the shard down 2 hours early and lock me out from getting my specialization points. The dicks!

    22-24 hours to get the giveaways. There's almost always issues with new seasons that require maintenance which you should know by now which means you can't make assumptions about the game actually being playable when you want it to be... I can understand the need to rant though.

    The offer was up for 22hrs and you couldn't find 5 min to log in and claim it. How is that Cryptic's fault?

    Go throw your cry baby temper tantrum somewhere else, no one here is going to feel bad for you.

    Also you missed the part where I worked and then got home, went to sleep and woke up 2 hours before work to a stupid maintenance messed. I am so sorry my life does not revolve around and allow 5 minutes for the oh so great STO!

    You should always expect an emergency patch the day after a major release of new content. Sometimes even for two days.

    It'd probably be more than 5 minutes for this one, anyway - you have to log in on each character separately. Aaaand heaven forbid you haven't patched the game up before that. :neutral:

    Oh, I read it. I just know it's TRIBBLE.

    We all have jobs, I worked over 50 hours this week. I got home, logged on to claim the reward and then went to sleep. It takes a couple min tops. If you decided not to do that, then cool.. that was YOUR choice. Take responsibility for your own time management and stop throwing hissy fits on the internet because you can't be bothered to spend 5 min claiming a free reward that was available to you all day. It's only a couple spec points anyway, not like you missed something enormous.

    Get over it.

    Also, it's two spec points. Two spec points. I could understand just feeling the need to vent a bit out of disappointment to miss a ship or something unique like a limited time goodie (say, Worf S1 hair and sash). But two spec points.​​

    Ok, I am not "over it" but i am logged in and getting the reward at the cost of being late for work. I still think this reward should be available more than just one day. Even for folks like you so you can get to your sleep faster. ;-)

    Ok, it took over 36 minutes but was able to claim the spec point on all my characters. Ok, off to work before I am big time late. Walmart does not play when it comes to having too many tardies.

    Let's hope Trump does not bring America to a state where everyone has to work at a company like Walmart. Ugh.

    The op and this thread just goes into the " entitled gamer is entitled " category...along with the majority of rants in various threads in here. maintenance was already known ...and if you cant find 2 min to log in in a 24 hour time span that is a personal issue not cryptic..fault...

    op...this is well desrved

    Wow, it must take some people longer to learn gratitude... And that entitlement isn't a real thing... And that you just can't please everyone...

    I'll be darned if there isn't a handful of threads like this every time STO decides to have giveaways, of any kind...

    Oh the irony. If it was ignored, why did you have to say it was ignored. That means it was not ignored.

    Well, tZENkethi battlezone was broken (for one); so, an emergency maintenance event was inbound for today, as expected.

    Welcome to the forums, new player!

    Veterans who have been through past events will tell you that it's common for "emergency maintenance" to happen after a major content update, to address bugs that did not show up in QA or on the test server.

    Now you know. And knowing is half the battle!
