Down Times and the continued crying

SystemSystem Member, NoReporting Posts: 178,019 Arc User
When in game all i hear is cry cry cry about the down times and people bad mouthing the ones that live in the US of A. Hey we are NOT the ones that take the server down and it just shows stupidity or jealousy one or the other. As with any NEW GAME there will be down time as they work out the bugs. Dont take it out on the people that you THINK dont have to suffer through them because guess what WE also do to. My play time comes at 12am PST to 4am PST so guess what i lose my time to. Its childish and foolish to cry as much as you all do. I then hear stuff like No other game is like this, they stagger their down time so it doesnt only effect the UK market.... i dont know of any other MMO that doesnt do maintenece at some time between 1am PST and 4am PST.


I just want us all to get along and the HATE that is being deflected to the USA customers is WRONG. We dont control when the server goes down. Star trek was born in the USA live with it. There are 350+ million people in the USA alone and only 60+ million in the UK you do the math. Europe as a whole does have more people than North America yes but paying customers in North and south america out number those in Europe so like it or not the down time will most likely always be 1am or 3am start times. All i am saying is live with it, I do and like i said its right in the middle of my play time too. I am not trying to be mean i am just sick of hearing it every single time the servers are about to go down.

    Look it is quite simple...

    For anyone who is crying about the downtime, simply tell them:

    beware the Ides of March!

    I enjoy playing the game, I don't mind the DT. If they enjoy paying for a subscription where they go onto the forums to whine about DTs and they are giving money to Cryptic for it. Bully for them.

    If you don't like the game, stop playing. (Yes, even if you are lifetime, suck it up)

    I am in a fleet full of wonderful Americans who behave like educated members of the human race. And just as I start to think that the US population might not be as bad as it was when I lived there 13 years ago, this post pops up and bang those ghosts come back to haunt me ...

    So just who is this OP aside from yet another arrogant septic who thinks the Earth revolves around him?

    Oh yes another redneck nobody from Smallmind USA ...

    Is that dueling banjos I hear? :(

    And that's why you yanks get bashed so much, you pull statistics out of your butt without any proof whatsoever.

    I was feeling quite sympathetic to your post until I read that part then I realised my mistake.

    Show us the official customer demographic stats that prove this and I'll quite happily retract my statement, until then you're just another symptom. :mad:

    Three words to children crying about downtime:
    1. Quit
    2. Your
    3. B*tch
    4. Whining.
    Oh, that was four words? Well at least there's something more to quit *****ing and whining about.

    Sad part is, this guy's right.

    If you Brits and Euros had gotten on the ball and developed the game, YOU'D get to choose the downtimes.

    But then again, even EVE goes down from 11am to 12pm GMT daily so....

    Like he said, do the math.

    I have a question then, how can one tell if "stats are pulled from butts"? Do they smell? are they brown?
    Should we call them buttstats? dunno just thinking........

    It's easy to come on the forums and to throw out QQ posts when the downtime isn't affecting you. The problems start when someone from the EU asks why the downtime is always when he's trying to play, he gets jumped on by 2-3 from the US telling him to QQ because STO is an AMerican game. They then get jumped on by half a dozen euros, who then get jumped on...

    Downtime is a necessary evil, but it'd be nice if it was staggered once in a while. Or at least not in the middle of a Saturday, Cryptic could do Monday, a day that is already ruined :D

    LMAO guess you cant read to well, all i am saying is stop bashing on the americans or YANKS is how they put it in there continued whining ONLINE IN GAME. We didnt make the game ( paying customers ) so dont cry and moan about it to us and think we dont matter just because we live in the USA where the down time doesnt effect us as much. Your post just proves you are ignorant. My post wasnt to bash anyone unlike yours. My post was to inform people that hey guess what WE AMERICAN ( paying customers ) DONT CONTROL THE DOWN TIME. Cryptic does. No need to go around calling people names because you are upset.

    I dont care if they cry and whine about it on the forums but dont BASH PEOPLE in the game just because they are upset about the down time. Then again i wouldnt expect you to undertsand that. Looking at your join date just tells me i dont have to really pay to much attention to you anyway lmao.

    Completely agree. Staggering them would be nice, and doing them o/s of the weekend. Weekends are always going to be unpopular somewhere, as 92.7156798% of people have agreed. (see previous post for brownstats)

    I agree with this but my OP was about the hate directed to american players IN GAME. i was FLAMED in game just because i live in the USA and the down time doesnt effect me. Well excuse me but i was online with them to so how is the down time NOT effecting me?

    The down time DOES EFFECT ME. This is my playing time. yes i know its off schedule based on when most people in North America play but i am not Most people. I work swing so this is my prime time for me. The down time does make me a little upset but not enough to whine about it and not enough for me to throw hate at a country of paying costumers that have NOTHING to do with when the servers go down.

    Dont let it get you down m8 not all europians are arrogant a-holes. Some are actually pretty cool, yeah I know sometimes it seems like non-arrogant europians are rarer than water in death valley but they are out there. As for the arrogant a-holes sooner or later europe is going to TRIBBLE up yet again and us dumb americans will have to go pull their asses out of the fire for the umpteenth time and thats just going to eat them up inside.
