From Twitter: as per title, they're working on fixes and will extend the event.
More info next week.
I'm not even gonna comment on the "they programmed the ships to get stuck in the station"... make of that what you will.

Ci sono tre tipi di giocatori:
- quelli a cui non va mai bene niente... e vanno sul forum a trollare;
- quelli che sono talmente imbesuiti da credere a qualunque cosa i dev dicano, perfino che la luna è fatta di formaggio... e vanno sul forum a trollare;
- quelli che credono a quello a cui è giusto credere, sono d'accordo con quello con cui è giusto essere d'accordo e sono critici con quello che non va;
Ai giocatori dei primi due tipi, gratis in omaggio un bello specchio lucente su cui arrampicarsi. E una mazzata in testa per la loro poca intelligenza e compassione verso gli altri giocatori che non la pensano come loro.
Agli appartenenti al terzo tipo, invece, dico grazie. Anche se non sempre si riesce a mantenere la calma, siete quelli per cui vale la pena incazzarsi.

So do I. I usually skip maint days, but I couldn't get started till today, so glad to see it's been extended.
Completely agree. I've done 2 rounds so far, and both completed fine (1 bugged, but we just let the enemies kill a transport then things worked afterwards). But those like yourself should definitely get credit for the runs that bugged out.

Uhh, have you actually done the episode yet? It's only a bit less lame.
I can't risk waiting on their word about an extension as you could risk not having enough days to finish and then have to buy out or miss out on the reward. They would help their image if they came out and say
--- NOTE THIS IS NOT CRYPTIC THIS IS A HYPOTHETICAL POSSIBLE RESPONSE SO NONE OF THE BELOW IS HAPPENING
"Hey, we still have problems that aren't working, you can play the event and still get your progression or you can hold up while we find just what is broken. Don't worry we have decided to extend the end of the event by X number of days. We will add more days as needed for us the finally solve it. We will put up on the news section when the event will continue. In the meantime remember you can gain extra dil with the extension up to XX,TRIBBLE amount limit (side note - I think they said 50K was max) so play if you want to get that extra dil but be aware the mission will have the two big bugs of the transports not leaving the starbase and the warships getting stuck in the base that you will have to deal with. In addition to fixing the bug everyone will be able to pick up at the c-store a limited time offer of a box of 300 marks of players choice, once per entire account that will be account bound but is our way of saying we are sorry about the problems this has caused and will strive in the future to not have events so buggy. Cryptic."
Its not perfect as you have two smaller doors you almost always have to pass 1-2 boffs manually(aka the move icon next to their avatar, first make them go to the center of door entrance and second time give them a destination to pass it) but still a lot less trouble than the ultra bugged TFO with the frequent afker players
I'm not a fan of players already going through the event, myself twice, where the npc ship got stuck in the station & the tfo wouldn't end.
In a perfect world any players that completed the event tfo would retroactively receive credit, but I understand that itemizing such things probably would take too much resources so the "extend the event" is probably the best/easiest compromise.
Not happy but content but I still think the event is probably 5 days too long especially with the event tfo taking a few minutes too long as well perhaps all for the purpose of enticing the buyout option.
thanks, will try it out
I like that coldnapalm is arguing for the players so forcefully. Like you, I don't expect all of his suggestions to be adopted, but it's still nice to have such an aggressive advocate. Since we never get all that we ask for, it's best to ask for more than we expect to receive, eh?
Problem is that those players who had severe issues with the TFO are kinda fed up already.
Personally I've had a few stuck freighters too here and there, but no instance of the TFO taking longer than 20 minutes (which already is darn long for a TFO). Others had MASSIVE issues ranging from hour-long to unfinishable runs.
EXTENDING the event might just be *more* vitriol to the fire for those players. I've seen pretty agitated reactions.
I think there's a lot of upset in the air just now.
IMO, it's partly the long quarantine, and endless worries about corona, and partly the election season madness in the USA. We Americans are not exactly known for being calm and restrained to begin with, and this current insanity in the States has made some of us even worse. Me, I'm an expat, watching this all unfold from 8000 km away, (and been abroad for so long that I think of it as 8000km rather then 5000 miles), and it's pretty weird watching it all from outside. Like I say, there's a lot of anger and unreasoning hatred in the air, and it's made many of us even more volatile than usual.
That's definately the case, but... well. Civility shouldn't suffer as it does.
