    As a note, folks, I know these seem like relatively minor changes to pull the game down yet another time this week. We're actually doing an under the hood fix with this maintenance - the kind of thing that never makes it into patch notes - to ensure you all have a smooth play time this weekend. Since it had to go down anyway, we thought we'd include these fixes.

    So should this alleviate all the rubberbanding lately?

    Its nice to see attention to fixes, But personally I'm still waiting for the fix to the ship tailor that's been bugged since S13's launch.

    october 10th, huh? so what happened to october 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th?​​
    Like special weapons from other Star Trek games? Wondering if they can be replicated in STO even a little bit? Check this out: https://forum.arcgames.com/startrekonline/discussion/1262277/a-mostly-comprehensive-guide-to-star-trek-videogame-special-weapons-and-their-sto-equivalents

    Maybe we're doing another Julian to Gregorian conversion?

    Depending on when a country decided to switch from the Julian calendar to the Gregorian calendar, a certain number of days were skipped to realign the year for all of the Leap Year days that were subtracted under the Gregorian calendar. The longer your country waited to change, the more days had to be skipped, every 4 centuries would add 3 more days to skip, since the Julian calendar had a Leap Year every 4 years, while the Gregorian calendar skipped Leap Years in any century year not directly divisible by 400. Predominantly Catholic countries adopted it early and only had to skip 10 days, while the mixed and Protestant countries of Western Europe mostly changed in the 1700s and had to skip 11 days. Many Eastern Orthodox countries didn't adopt the change until the 1900s, and thus skipped 13 days.
    This is an MMO, not a Star Trek episode simulator. That would make for a terrible game.

    We're not clever at all. We're just stuck in a chronic hysteresis.

    3rd day of patching. Its getting embarrassing now. As I said in yesterdays notes if the season/content isn't ready to go then don't launch it.

    Hello rubber banding my old friend, time to bounce around the battlezone again, where are all my bug reports going?, out of love with this game I am falling, As Cryptic fail to acknowledge a problem exists, Shakes an angry fist, And from Support all I'm hearing are the sounds of silence.

    Hoping that this fixes the minor tailor bug which removes the tail of Caitians and disables the tail menu when equipping a skant or kilt.

    Apparently, some of the pieces that can be used out of the drop down option for the Tzenkethi armor (to achieve some mix-and-match with other costume parts) are missing. Also, i have noticed the Tzenkethi armor visuals are not available at all for BOFF, at least if you play a Romulan Republic captain.

    If they can manage to do this again over the next three days we can add the trait "Consistently Offline" to these encounters.

    Almost looking forward to the release of season 14 next tuesday once this last phase of testing is done.
  • bigb3bigb3 Member Posts: 42 Arc User
    Are there going to be anymore patches beyond today's current one? I just ask just in case we need to keep a heads up on what's been happening here, especially from the last several patches we had from the last several days.
  • sfc3expertsfc3expert Member Posts: 24 Arc User
    This is unacceptable, I have been on STO from the beginning and never experienced 3 server outages in all those years.
