    It just crashed, Main page says down for maintenance. They got that up quick, I not. But if it was maintenance, did I miss the warnings?

    Yep. Was on the last enemy of a mission and saw him just blow up before I disconnected. How much you want to bet I don't get credit for completing the mission? :rolleyes:

    The main page has had the message regarding maintenance for some time. Don't think they've updated it. Looks like just a crash to me.

    Usually you get a continue button when the server comes back up now I have had it both ways reset of the mission completely and I have had credit up to the point of disconnect so lets just hope for the latter of the two ;)

    So anyone else wondering about these magic server upgrades they promised us??.. You know, the ones that were being implemented over last weekend.. because from there latest patch notes it really sounds like its not happening and there waiting to see how it goes..

    Well news flash Cryptic, it goes badly mate, very very badly...

    To bad crashes are usually like 4 hours, I doubt its scheduled maintenance

    Its the Champions Oline forums that made me hesitate buying Star Trek online, sure hope they get this straightened out before credit card charges come. :)

    Yep, I was on one of the last steps of a sub-mission. I will probably not get credit for the progress within the sub-mission, but it will probably put me back to the beginning of just that part so my earlier progress should be saved. Unless, of course, they do a roll-back (which they did recently) ...

    8 out of 10 times I try and play the server is either down or the server disconnects me after about 5 mins of playing. I do not play at the same time each day and I only get about 2 hours to play each day. I understand fully that these things happen when games are in their infancy but it is really starting to annoy me tremendously. I figure it must go down a lot more than I know because I don't think I can have that bad of luck.
    If anyone at Cryptic reads our posts PLEASE PLEASE get some stability. I know you are already trying to do that but please think of the customers. It is 12 noon PST and the server is down. Not all customers are as patient as I am and I would really hate to see you guys lose customers because of stability issues. I just needed to vent a bit. To anyone that wants to flame me for any of this you know where you can stick it.

    My guess is that message is automatic. I would say it says "down for maintenance" because it sounds better, than "server crashed again"

    Didn't we just patch after the crash last night? I feel that maybe just maybe we could try to not patch on the weekends when there maybe more limited staff? I really don't know for sure of course but alot of companies don't full staff on weekends.

    I am just saying maybe we could get a better a strategy going on here about downtime during the weekends.

    Dont you all love the woes of a brand new game. Get use to it till they squash alot of the bugs, after a couple months the game will be more solid and stable. Cryptic will set it straight ;) Till then sit back in your captians chair and watch councilor troy do a lap dance for us all. :D

    I'm pretty new here. I'm just guessing, but I think maybe the latest patch they put in may have made things a little more unstable. When I change my ship's weapons, there is a large delay now since the latest patch was installed.

    Anyway, hope the server comes back up soon!

    it's strange but more often than not when I log in to play, I'll get a couple hours at most of gameplay before an 'upgrade' or 'maintenance' kicks in. All in all I haven't gotten much playtime in this month.

    I only just received my pre-order deluxe edition 4 days ago. Subscribed to the Life time Membership.
    I tried playing Friday night and 10 mins later got disconected with server down. Just tried playing again and was in for 4 mins until server went down. I couldn't play at all Saturday night because the server was down.
    I Think I just wasted hard earned $450.
    If I cant play, Cryptic will be in breach of ACCC compliance guidelines.

    No they wouldn't....to be in breach they would have to NEVER afford any ability for you to play. Not the ability to play based on YOUR schedule. You may have wasted $450 of it is ALWAYS down based on your availability, but they wouldn't be in breach of anything.

    Ahh no, they wont be in breach of ACCC as thats an Australian Institution and last i checked Cryptic is an American company..

    Ohh and why in the world would you fork out for a lifetime when you hadnt even tested the game??

    seems kinda silly IMO..

    I don't know what's going on with you guys, but this only happens very rarely for me... and I play a LOT.
