Scheduled Maintenance (July 27, 2012)

pwebranflakes · July 2012

Hi Captains,

We will be bringing down Star Trek Online tonight at midnight PDT (click here to view in your timezone) for maintenance and to apply a new patch. Patch notes can be found here, and we expect this maintenance to only last for 3 hours.

Thanks for your patience and understanding,

- The Star Trek Online Team

no tailor fix?

realuniqueone · July 2012

still no fix for the game-breaking camera-auto-switching-to-what-we-did-not-select bug?

Yeah thats what Im screaming I wanted to edit the last of my Bridge officers into the TNG season 1-2 uniform but since I cant choose a commbadge or a rank for them I cant. Come on Cryptic.

The exchange post price entry will no longer be cleared after posting an item.

Thank you. It's hard enough trying to hit that box. It;s even worse having to do it every time.

azurianstar · July 2012

Nice that the MVAM now giving the Fleet discount, but what of the Foundry? There is notes about it, but when is it getting turned on again?

ashkrik23 · July 2012

Interesting that the Borg Invasion is now available all the time. Will make it much easier to get accolades.

No date information but at least there's some information.

If only the Dev tracker was working, then it would be easier to find posts by the team.

Nope. Didn't see it. :P

At least I won't have to delete my STO e-mails from Champions Online again. (yes, I did that earlier) However, there are still a few annoying bugs I don't see on that list. :rolleyes:

like the All tab on the exchange?

Does this mean I will lose my Shroud-capable hose that my female toon has on? I had a chuckle when I logged in and she had no legs. I then had to buy legs for her from the tailor for 180 EC. (No I am not wanting 180 EC back!) I had a grand chuckle with people around me asking where are my legs? That was worth the 180 EC. The loss of hose now make her legs glow in the light bright enough to blind her enemies and make them miss. I do, however, wish I could make her Trill spots on her hoseless legs the same as the ones on her neck. She looks like a diseased Trill with vampire skin pale legs.

Hey Devs? Get on the tailor bugs and fix them. Fix the tailor and I mean ASAP. In fact fix as many bugs as you can in the maintainence. I know for a fact that I for one and fet up with the bugs in this game and it's getting on my nerves. So I and the rest of the player base would appreciate it if you'd fix bugs like that.

The one I'm talking about is the fact that ever since today's patch came out nobody's been able edit their character/bridge officer's badge, rank, etc. in the tailor in fact those options aren't even available on the customization screen at all totally missing. Now frankly I've put up with a lot of problems in this game like lag, bugs, and the occasional unscheduled maintainence or downtime, but bugs like this are just unnacceptable. No offense intended but seriously enough is enough. I know you all are doing whatever to fix this game, but we've had enough so while you have this downtime tomorrow I'd really like to see some improvment like getting rid of the bugs and the lag. I can't take it anymore. Sorry for the frustration, but with what's been up in the air on this game since Season 6 came out and all well you know.

Anyhow please get on the bugs and lag and other issues with the game. And if you can't fix it all in one night please get it done as fast as you can, but don't break the game in the process it's already broken as it is in a lot of places and frankly the player base has put up with a lot of that. I've spoken enough on that though. Please fix the game...like ASAP...thanks...the tailor bug especially..put back whatever is not present in the tailor menu...I.E. Badge, Fleet Emblem, Fleet Uniform Selection, Rank, etc. That is NOT something that should be ignored. Thanks.

kilemorgan · July 2012

Fair is fair, they did get to some of these problems rather fast.

Though also, their QA team needs to finally get on the ball here and catch more of these.
From time to time is expected, every patch is a pattern that has to be changed.

It's nice the Invasion will no longer be gated, now perhaps after a while the others will be also. Perhaps things like the Vault mission can all be handled like the new Tholian ground mission.

snormanau · July 2012

The tailor bug is really annoying and should be fixed ASAP.

Also, how can you have 'scheduled' maintenance two days in row?

And how can it take 3 hours to patch 8 things...?

robeasom · July 2012

Still no fix to the fleet events box showing the wrong date and time to what the person puts in

hamsi1985 · July 2012

oh thanks god, i can erase the mails from the exchange :-)

medtac124 · July 2012

Please fix the tailor issues!

zulisvel · July 2012

Thanks for the quick turnaround on the mail and exchange price fixes.

What starbase shipyard level was required for the Fleet Advanced Escort? I'd hate to think someone who would have qualified for the discount ended up having to pay the full 4 module price.

nevertooold · July 2012

Sorry folks fail to see anything in these patch notes that cannot wait until a norma maintenance cycle.

Short notice shutdowns are guaranteed to annoy your paying customer base..... oh wait

nbluth · July 2012

Why maintenance always gotta be on friday morning? Its the one time a week i can play STO. They need to switch it up.

Well you have to consider they first have to take the system offline.
Then they probably do a backup.
Next they would input the changes to the code.
Probably have some sort of "check" to run over the code.
Then they have to boot the system back up.
And check to make sure the "fixes" actually fixed something.

Yeah 3hours seems like a long time for 8 items, but those 8 things could potentially be hundreds of lines of code.

Or at the very least bits of code that require much more to fix than changing value=0 ... to value=1

Honestly (and i do complain about cryptic being slow.., and not following though on promises **cough andorian cruiser cough**)... I don't think 3hours is too bad all in all.

yes it is but its not fair that all cstore ships not getting a discount for the fleet ships, like the rhode island, no i dont expect it to be as much but some discount would be fair sence it cost like 1/4 of the mvac and other t5 ships how about sence it 4 modules give us a dicount of 1 module and make it 3 models for ships like the rhode island, that would be fair to all people sence the cstore version still cost us money,

betayuya · July 2012

once a week update/bug fixes would be a fine addition to the game play, and i love the bugs

lol

ravenmind1 · July 2012

So this was SCHEDULED maintenance? Where was the notification in the launcher. All I saw was some ****** message about the account names being case sensitive. So now my whole fleet was freaking out when we got the half hour notification & had no idea why it was being brought down or for how long. Come on guys get on the ball. Sometimes I think my son's high school programming class could do a better job. They hiring people out of Mumbai College of Massage Therapy & Coding nowadays?

maddog0000doom · July 2012

hello

ravenmind1 · July 2012

OH come on, the word r^e^t^a^r^d is censored? Really? Wonder if they get called that a lot...

Yeah irks me as well, I had planed to catch the fleet marks event. -shrugs- ohh well

ravenmind1 · July 2012

Well I guess I'll just have to go check out one of the many other MMORPGs out there. Maybe I'll find one I like better. And then they will get my money, not Perfect World.

I had the same I expect Cryptic/PWE thought how do we TRIBBLE the player base off more after giving them a 700 zen EVA suit and dropping more lockboxes on there doorstep. Ah yes lets take the shard down the day after a patch for another 3 hours and give them a borg mission that not many people play anymore and a couple of things. However certain other things took ages to fix. Better pull your finger out Cryptic you have Tribble for a reason things likemaking the mail unable to delete has been a very silly mistake.
