    I have patched tribble, so perhaps they have updated it so that it detects if the latest tribble patch is there and just ignores the pre-patch if it is?

    I would assume so as I also keep both redshirt and tribble up to date.

    No; it's not coming on Thursday

    Sorry Brandon, I'm sure your a nice guy.

    Yeah , it frustrates me when they never tell us when something is coming out

    this is EXACTLY why so many people were annoyed when they removed the release calender on the website :(

    I dont know if this is PWE's policy or cryptic , well .. being cryptic
    but its a little irritating , theres loads of threads asking to know exactly when its coming , and all we get is ... soon? :P
    Like i said , dunno if this is policy , or out of cryptics control , but it would be nice if we can get confirmation on things , as wildly inaccurate as the calender could be at times , it was reassuring to see

    It may be a bug- I noticed a red box with some message on the launcher splash screen as I logged in last night, no patching done by game on login, played a few hours the logged out getting the patching notification and screens. I let it run for about 20 seconds then exited the game. On launch this morning no box on splash screen nor patch, played about an hour and exited game with no patching done on exit.

    This is why picked the week of the 22nd as the live date for S7 when people asked me.;)

    Seeing how big patchs are usually on a Thursday and the 22nd is a Thursday and more over is the fourth Thursday of November and the fourth Thursday of Novemeber is Thanksgiving... I don't think the 22nd is going to be the launch. That would be... foolish

    Bran says not this week, so I'll go with the 15th.

    Doesn't mean I'm not planning for tommorrow.

    No; it's not coming on Thursday :) Again, the plan is for you to be able to see the conversion crate on Tribble before it goes live -- watch for Tribble patch notes.

    Cheers,

    Brandon =/\=

    How will people who don't / can't access Tribble see the conversion rate?

    Also, I am happy that at least the tier went down a bit. Still don't think things we've already earned should be locked at all, but it's a step in the right direction.

    UUmmmm...

    But by this afternoon, somebody will have posted the rates in a thread for folks to be able to figure it out for themselves.

    Pre-patching for the new Season that will be released soon ;) This happens before every season, to help reduce the 'all-in-one' big patch that happens
    Was named Trek17.

    Been playing STO since Open Beta, and have never regarded anything as worse than 'meh', if only due to personal standards.

    Happened to me too, my game decided to freeze on a loading screen and I was lumbered with a 1110MB patch after closing the window. I'd have preferred to have patched it through the launch window when I start it up like normal, so I have a choice on when to do it.

    Prepatch... absolutely nothing strange about that.

    They've done that since what... season 2.
    Don't look silly... Don't call it the "Z-Store/Zen Store"...
    Let me put the rumors to rest: it's definitely still the C-Store (Cryptic Store) It just takes ZEN.

    Brandon, as community manager, please pass along the following request:
    Give the conversion crates to players at Tier 0. It's useless to make them wait for forever and three days, and will ease the feeling that you're doing a hard reset (you're not, but this would go a long way toward showing it).

    they moved them to 3, that's good enough.

    This is something that is does throughout the Video game industry. When you give dates people expect you to keep to those dates but you cant if a problem comes up and you have to fix it delaying the patch past the date you previously gave. When the dates you gave pass people get very angry and starts flaming etc. For this reason in the Video Game industry no one really gives out dates and instead gives the Soon.tm.

    In a community that just wants their stuff when they were told they would get it its best not to say when but tell them soon. In the United States at least the consumers here are ruthless and unforgiving, if you mess up they will leave you for dead.

    close the patcher and you could. though you wanna sit through a big patch on season seven release? pre-patching like that means that any update you have to do that day was last minute fixes and other small things. definately not as big as were you to download it all at once.

    its not like you wont have time. the faster you patch the game, the faster you get to the server queues, the longer you can wait :D

    I think it is coming on the 15th, as it is a thursday (patches are on thursdays), and on the 14th the bugship promo ends, so probably they will have to patch that into the game somehow (and I do believe that the bugship promo was there, so you can waste some of your zen before the new dili sinks and the Vesta comes out)

    I really hope you guys release the Vesta soon.
    Been really lookin forward to that ship :D


    I needn't tell you, we're rapidly approaching Thanksgiving and black Friday.

    The closer to Thanksgiving we get, the less time I'm gonna have to play AND the less amount of disposable income I'm gonna have too.

    I'm guessing you might want the Vesta to sell well, releasing it just before Thanksgiving might work against this.
    I don't know If I'm gonna be able to squirrel away fifty bucks at this time of year without the fiance gettin wind of it .. :rolleyes:

    Actually no they have not.

    Previous T5 xp to max it out was 40000, now its 100000.

    By that, they have in fact kept it in the exact same place, its just they moved the goal posts for two tiers ;)
