Well, to be fair, when I see Tribble updates I typically log on and check it out and even report bugs (which rarely get fixed before going live). Sad thing is, the 2nd issue was on Tribble for less than 24 hours (all kinds of time to test that one :P)
I hate it. Come on whats wrong with you guys? No annoncement ingame. Great...
First 40 some odd posts: Umm some of you cry over broken things in game, but now that there's been what looks to be like something so important that game gets shut off on short notice, and you still complain? Might be the only dude in here on a positive note but, as long as they fix something substantial enough to warrant an unwarranted shut down, then just shut up and let them.
The problem is, They break things when they patch. Test server anyone? This makes a month straight they can't patch properly, when they have not one but two test servers. Save the money on the extra servers and pay people to make proper patches i say
To which I say: This isn't a simple HTML page they have to fix code on... It's bound to happen. Only difference between Cryptic, and let's say Microsoft... is that Microsoft can afford to have a huge staff dedicated to these problems... What does Cryptic have?
Now onto some humor... (since you are all so butthurt over not having to play for a couple of hours it's bordering on withdrawal symptoms lol)
Is it wrong thinking realistically at these times? 320AM EDT on a Friday, west coast USA bars are still open. For all we know, most of Team Cryptic are out singing Irish drinking songs in a bar while a skeleton crew takes care of the important stuff. Think of all the s**t we throw at them for every little thing we see wrong with this game. You don't think at this point they are at the tipping point as is? I'm almost expecting a Cryptic dev to raid my house and shoot me because of all the tickets I've sent them about my client randomly crashing for no apparent reason... Or worse. Well, they do have my credit card info, they could always wipe me clean lol...
WELL IF THE JAPORI INCIDENT HAS TAUGHT ME ANYTHING, IT'S THAT MY EXISTENCE IS AN EXPLOIT. THANKS CRYPTIC.
IF YOU ARE READING MY SIG - THEN YOU ARE DOING IT WRONG
No consideration. I was in a Elite STF.... when this "scheduled maintenance" occurred. By the way... "scheduled" implies planned.... planned implies... some sort of knowledge before it happens. An hour .... does not qualify as "scheduled" more like "damn I'm waiting an entire hour, cower at how patient I am before I release this patch"
I rebooted my cable modem and router thinking it was on my side,since there was no in-game warning and no warning in the launcher either :(
I never read the forums ever until **** like this happens, so a in forum warning doesn't cut it
Yeah I feel your pain (just open up google or something next time to check) and a minute or two to wait for the launcher offline light to turn red (laucher or website will need to be restarted/refreshed).
What the heck is going on with this game?
Crashed i presume????
Scheduled maintenance, the post was only posted about 50 minutes before it was due to go down. Only due to take 2 hours though, so it's not the end of the world
Yeah I have to throw in with everyone else on this one. I spent 20 mins trying to get back on because I thought the problem was on my end before deciding to check the forums.
Ah cool glad you were right on that crashing business
Good time to watch those tv shows I missed while playing with the mines with my b'rel
Ture that -- 2:30 am Just got in from closing Bar. And a long patch time... i thought after 10- mins and a beer late it was time to kick but. But Naa... time to watch tv or goto bed -- Woot woot -- Beer doesn't go to waste -- Burn Notice was on tonight
I love Star Trek, I love Star Trek Online. It's our baby and you don't DROP a baby like this Cryptic/PWE... how DARE you drop our baby! You bad parents! Need counseling now! BOTH you and US
Anyone know of any online anti-gambling addiction center? Lockboxes got y'all down? Impatient ye can't wait to spend more when the game comes back on? Will Cryptic/PWE delete posts relating to anti-gambling?
I understand that mistakes happen, but i believe they just don't give a TRIBBLE. I still see bugs that have been here since launch, but since they aren't completely game breaking they just don't care. They throw a patch together, throw it on tribble, get bug reports and say, "well we'll fix that one in season 14." until it goes live and breaks something, then they fix it.
What a bunch of whiners you guys are (most posters above this)... stop beating a dead horse.
1. It's not whining to complain about bad customer service and non-existent warnings. If enough people express their ire they might just wake up and not repeat the mistake.
2. We'll keep beating on the horse until it screams. It isn't dead. Not yet.

But... I am butthurt over not being able to play for a couple hours, yes it's withdrawl... The first step IS admitting you have a problem afterall.
"All times are GMT -8. The time now is 11:29 PM." Ummm... it's later than that or there was a time paradox on the East Coast. It's 3:30am here (12:30 PDT). Does that mean the servers will be up at 1:30 PDT wrong time or 2:30 PDT real time? Or are you on Standard time out there on the West Coast? UGH. My head is spinning!
.... I think it is 3:30. My computer says it is and my phone says it is. Anyone got a watch?....
i think it meant the the Hard: missions but i had this happen before with blues to :S THAT was not cool
OHHH He meant the Elite Tholian boxes from the nukara ground missions? Here I was thinking lockboxes since nobody really cares about the nukara boxes anymore lol.
Bought a reinforcement duty officer pack, got me doffs of it, and system message says I got 5 x Frag Ferasan Grapes ... or sumthing like that. Except that I did not receiev any of those, either in my inventory, bank, or character belt. Nada. Filed a ticket, guess what. No response.
Now I care little for those ferasan commodities, but imagine if this was a Tuffli pack, than I would be more than pissed.
Reset server or fix bugs away, make the game work as you intended. Right ? Okay ? thank you.
Want my ferasan stuff, too, btw.

PS. Ok, sorry but first thinng in the morning, before my coffee I come to check me officer, and bam, servers offline. It kinda upsets ya, you know. Makes ya hands tremble twice as much. Addicts have rights too !

I like how no one really cares about the last line in the release notes, which states: Resolved an issue that occasionally causes the game client to crash.
I'm guessing the people that were having crashing issues are happy that they're updating this now instead of next Thursday.

There is only one midnight per date, and it happens as soon as the date changes. :cool:
Anyway, yeah. I guess we know what the #1 question for next Ask Cryptic is...
On the bright side, hey dstahl got out of Zynga while the getting was good, eh?
I hate it. Come on whats wrong with you guys? No annoncement ingame. Great...

This. Exactly this.
*goes play something else while waiting* - there's lots of things out there to vent your "suffering"

Pretty sure you're the one trolling bud.

I wasn't doing anything important or time consuming myself so it didn't affect me as much as most.
Would 30 mins of warning made much of a difference?
Wouldn't have entered the STF you were in? i guess that is the only main concern.
Missions are otherwise saved at a certain point so you won't lose THAT much progress.
I'm guessing the people that were having crashing issues are happy that they're updating this now instead of next Thursday.
Wait, who the hell needs 30 minutes for an stf?
