    why are there no pc patch notes? coinciding with longer downtime?

    not fussed about writing them or is there something worth hiding?

    The obvious answer here would be that there's no patch for PC, hence no patch notes.
    The extended maintenance would likely be for the entire Arc system rather than just one or two individual games.
    Consoles almost always get maintenance and patches on Tuesday's, so it ties in for the platform.
    PC gets patches and maintenance mainly on a Thursday, so there'll likely be some patch notes in two days time...

    But why is the downtime so long?
    Life is ours to be spent, not to be saved.

    To maintain the server farms which is an extensive project.

    I was able to check a few times throughout the day and haven't been able to get into games. Always said that the servers are down (on Xbox). Just a quick question as to whether this was expected, or if I'm having a tech issue. I know the servers were taken down for maintenance, but thought I interpreted the post that it would only be for a few hours. If it's a tech issue on my Xbox that keeps telling me the servers are down after maintenance is over, any trouble shooting tips? Thanks

    There's a severe crash bug on console, so they're keeping the servers off while either A) Trying to fix it. B) Rolling back to let people play and continue working on it.

    Last post by Kael was about two hours ago, so who knows.

    Thanks for the info, Orangenee. Appreciated. Totally understand if they need some extra time to work out tech issues. I was only curious because my Xbox has acted up lately and I wanted to double check before doing factory resets, deleting cache, and all that :wink:

    I get it too. Is there an estimated time frame for the game to be back up and running?

    I do not know, but I hope they take pity on us and let us grab the Character Upgrade. I am pretty sure nobody had a chance to get it. Hopefully its fixed by later today though!

    Worry, not, they said they're extending the event and giveaway.

    Now 6pm GMT (1800UTC) and server is still offline.

    Even by cryptic standards two hours late is pretty bad.

    Same for me on my ps4... I'm OK with any fix going on, but i don't want to loose all my work from the Borg event, i would have completed it yesterday. I hope it doesn't effect continuity in progress for events and/or other missions that have a deadline. Servers still down for me.

    LOL funny how we all come in at different times with the same anxiety questions. So I'll pass along what info Orange and other more knowledgeable folks were gracious enough to advise me (see Orangenee above). Fear not, the issue is not with your console. Cryptic just needs some time to fix up a few unexpected issues with the new update. The event and associated rewards will be extended so that we don't miss out on any anticipated prizes.

    I hope so too, i was finishing up the Borg events extended mission, yesterday i was ready to complete the run "in time". My fingers crossed.

    I really really don't want to be that guy but no offense it's spelled lose. Again no disrespect intended.
    Some advice.
    Don't.

    I wasn't able to get in all day then yesterday I thought I was getting a promo from it for a T6 ship coupon but realized it was for the new episodes. No anniversary items yesterday or today. They just need to give everyone a free elite captain training token.
