    Is that the bug when your BOs start doing the am lost act in the
    middle of the walkway and start jumping into the fire of DOOM.

    it isnt really a "pathing" issue. The Fire is a hazard and is technically an enemy. So it aggros your BOs and they freak out because there are "enemies" in all directions.

    IMO all they have to do is make the fire just a graphic rather than a hazard and the BOs wouldnt get so confused

    It sounds like its only for the c-points conversion and general maintenance.

    Why would you need to bring two games down for seven hours, so you can implement Season Six into only one game? You wouldn't. It sounds like its all about the c-points.

    i might be way out here, but if they take down the authentication server for one, aren't they all down. The actual shard ChampOnline may still be up. But right now i can't log into tribble either, due to the authentication server being down.

    So in conclusion, my opinion is, that S6 will be out at some point in the next 4 - 5 hours.

    Or they could just reduce the fire Aggro to zero. If that is the cause.

    Yeah... sorry, it would not take seven hours just to switch C-points to Zen.

    HE NEVER SAID IT WOULD SMART A. He said thats all we know. and for all your dumb mind knows it could take that long having to completely remove the conversion of zen to C then making sure it works then running it throught he dilithium market as well as raise the zen store prices to match the change (shared that in podcast). other than that its possible that season 6 is happening (also in podcast) plus more (that we don't know).

    My question is, when are they going to fix the pathfinding in the fire caves, add check boxes to the mail system, or add in a change character button, like they've been promising since launch?

    u mean the mesh in the fire caves is still not fixed how hard can that be i know its fairly easy to adjust a navmesh normaly have not made a user generated map on sto but so far in fallout meshing was the easyest part of the designing.

    Assuming your child-rant is over, you might want to actually read the rest of the thread. :rolleyes:


    i think they have a fair point, it really could take 7 hours to change from C to Z, look how long it took Europe to roll out the Euro.

    but in all seriousness, everything that has happened to do with STO, in the last week or so has had me thinking it's coming really really soon, i was surprised when it was suggested it might be today, thought another week or 2 but it's looking hopeful, on the other hand, afaik(no i'm not gonna read through 36 pages of opinion)the ONLY thing to be CONFIRMED is the change over to Z

    On the other hand, Champs DOES have a set of new veteran rewards, costumes, and Design-a-villan Alerts being released with today's patch. So whether they pre-patched or not may not be an adequate indication.

    I think it's clear that the pre-patching stuff was Season 6 related, but Cryptic doesn't HAVE to turn on Season 6 yet. I'm sure they'll consider it if it looks viable, but the primary purpose for this downtime is the huge inter-office zen conversion. Champs is getting some goodies released today, so it's certainly POSSIBLE that we'll get S6 too.. but if something goes haywire, I wouldn't blame them for holding back S6 til a time that isn't "right before a weekend".


    OK... Now I'm really annoyed... (I've not seen this before)

    Why is it that a 100 (1000?) Day Vet in Champs, gets to refine TWICE As Much Questionite-ore as we do Dilithium...?

    Why isn't Something Like THAT one of the Veteran Rewards for us here at STO?????

    yeah but i'm not saying 6 won't be out cause if they have the data ready and had to all worked out and tested it could simply be removing and inserting code then a final test just i was correcting the person who jumped the person who actually said something to try and give info that could calm some nervs. but ty, i need to look up the euro thing, sounds interesting.

    Odd thing is that C-point/Zen conversion already happened on Tribble. Don't remember it being down for 7 hours.

    Nobody cares on Tribble if their points get buggered. :P Also there's no dil exchange to test.
    If they found even one example of a problem in verifying the point conversion (and they've had a lot of time to look), they will require the time to verify more thoroughly on Holodeck before the support phones ring off the hook. ;)

    Do you know anything about the Champions economy to understand why they might need more of their currency than we do of ours? (I don't.)

    Or do you just see that someone else has a bigger number than you and get frustrated? :P (I didn't know "STOpeen" was a thing?)

    Season 6 is NOT coming out today! that is my feeling.

    The whole patch is about the C to Zen Point conversion.

    Prior s6 comes out and all the new goodies and ships and kindergarden costumes can come out and be ready to be sold, the payment system have to work!

    This explains the cooperation with the PWE team and extended time period for this patch.

    They have to make VERY SHURE that not a single C-Point get lost in this ZEN conversion! so that's why it takes so long for them to verify all things... player databases and so on.

    just my 2 cent

    i bet 2 mil EC that this is the issue, some1 oppose? :D

    Pre-patching multiple gigabytes is a heck of a lot of data to update for a currency conversion. I realize there's a lot more to that conversion than it may appear on the surface, and since they're dealing with people's real money here, they need to take their time and get it right.

    But even so, that's a lot of data and a lot of downtime.

    Reading the CO forum seems the 100 is a typo and should be 1000 day vet reward.

    quick question to provide more intreage to this thred: does the release notes come out at start of downtime or end?

    if at the biginning its out of the ordinary for them to not put up the release notes yet and its s6 today

    if at the end it could be the conversion only or the convertion and s6 together
