Only 1 day? huh.... I guess I need a TARDIS now. Oh wait... that wouldn't work I'd be in the same spot. [facepalm] Wish they made it 5 days.

Where? We're not talking about official twitter, faceboock or what not accounts, we're talking about the forums... and last I've checked, there wasn't any maintenance scheduled for today at all, it wass scheduled for 9/11... at least here, on the forums.
... and of course, I'd love to have a T5/6 Kamarag, like there is a T5/6 Ambassador.
I would suggest not spending ANY money on this game. if everyone stopped spending money on it then maybe they would give a TRIBBLE. (but don't count on it)
That was nice of Cryptic even though the 14 needed out of 21 days available isn't really a crammed schedule. I'm happily surprised Cryptic did this, nicely done.

> Why are we having ANOTHER 5hr downtime 2 days later (the 13th)?! I just got ZEN and want to spend it... in 3 days 10hrs of downtime, not even in WoW did this happen! lol
First, you are wrong, my brother played WoW for years, 10 hours of downtime in a week was not even uncommon. Second, due to requirements Cryptic has to operate under with both Microsoft & Sony, the console versions of STO often can't be patched on Thursday when PC id patched.
I played wow for over a decade, I was there when it was called Warcraft. By the time they reached BC, 10 hours of down time would result in a free day of game time. Also, we got little things like new places to explore, a true open world game and loads of updates. Seldom did a real patch only address a few items.
Kind of hoping the extended breach event isn't deemed as compensation or some such, it assumes everyone that is waiting to get into game with the delays is only interested in that one piece of content. Cause it seems a little poor that throwing an extra day of an event and its all good.
funny thing is this isnt the worst ive seen, Rift was horrible , was down 2 straight days once. They did reimburse everyone with cash shop currency and a title which was kinda cool of them.

We generally get extensions to events if things like this happen.
Will they do anything else on top of that? That's their choice. But at least we GET that extension. They could give us nothing at all if they were so inclined. Which I could see if EA had been in charge.

Consider how much of a budget WoW has over this game. As much as I hate defending these people, they have a small(ish) budget, greedy Chinese overlords, and a bunch of forum whiners who want to stay at home in mommy's basement and play games all day... to deal with.

That awkward moment when you don't want to spend money any more.

It was 21:55 UTC when you posted that.

you may be grateful on my behalf as well, if that makes you feel better.
