    Christ I don't even know what to say anymore.once again I was in the middle of khitmoer elite and literally 30 seconds from kicking donatras TRIBBLE all over the map and the &^*%&*$&% game goes down again.my god I wonder whats worse,the server going down or the f*cktards that I was stuck playing it with.this is the second time in the last few days that I can remember this happening.i was really hoping after a long day at work unwinding with a few hours of trek but that got flushed down the sh*tter real quick.its a good thing I love trek so much or I would just say TRIBBLE it anyway.have a great day cryptic!!

    #1- I didn't start it, he was the first to try and label me a troll.
    #2- I back up everything I say with meaning and clear explaination.
    #3- If you were not biased, you'd have referred your comment to the real originator of the namecalling.

    And since I have no intention of being criticized for a making a point and proving it true, this will be my last word on the trolling topic, which is his - the real troll's - idea to derail the original issue of finding solutions for real in-game detriments on the fleet system.

    #1- Whoever starts is irrelevant, and using the same dirty tricks as somoene else doesn't make them any less dirty.

    #2- That's the definition of an opinion, not a fact. An opinion by definition is personal, you can't expect everyone to agree with it.

    #3- I don't think I am biased, because I could care less about the topic. I saw the post quoted in your reply and responded to your response to that post. Of course, that is just my opinion.

    Now, onto making a point and proving it true, I am sorry, but you have not proved anything at all. You made an assumption, and provided your reasons for making that assumption, doesn't mean your right by default though unfortunately;).

    As B-Flakes said, since the server is already down, they are putting though Thursday's patch.
    I ask nothing but that you remember me.

    While i can understand your points, unfortunately they do not make sense.

    Cryptic runs this game, with perfect world as a "publisher" as it were. Thus, bottom line, no matter what the problem is, the fault, and the solution, lies with Cryptic. It is in essence their service. I'm not blaming my computer, or my wife or the weather...thus your analogy of the satelite and tv is kinda...off.

    Frankly, i don't give a sh*t WHAT the issue is. Server problems, data bottleneck with EVERYTHING running on 1 backbone, the recent hiring of a rather clitzy monkey...it doesnt matter. MY responsibility in this particular venture is to provide the requested capital, which i do every month, and then some with Zen purchases. Said providers responsibility is to provide a service on a reliable basis. Again, sh*t happens, fubars occur, i get that. NOTHINGS perfect. However, thats why you employ professionals to fix said fubars, and do their best to prevent them as much as they can.

    I've been playing about 2 months. Before this week, i had no complaints. Sure, a few random disconnects, whooptie do, i get it, hicups happen. But with the release of this NW beta, the sto server, and EVERYTHING else (ALL of Cryptics services are down when this happens), has gone from a pretty stable environment, to utter and pure random dumping chaos.

    End story, it needs to be fixed. If not, and in cases like this if the paying customers are not kept in the loop, then profits will decline. Plain and simple. I would LOVE to be better informed as to what's happening....i would be more forgiving then. But..*shrugs* i guess we can wait and see. All i know, if things do not improve soon, or more disclosure is forthcoming, my money will go elsewhere.

    What I was saying is say the ISP for Cryptic's building went down then it's not Cryptic's fault, it could be something like that.

    I can agree it is a massive coincidence that all the Cryptic servers and games went down at once but that could be caused by something as simple as a power cut, even if they had backup generators they would take a few seconds to kick in and that alone could cause a massive problem with reboots and so on.

    That is all I'm getting at, while all the things going on do point to Cryptic it may be something beyond that.

    They went ahead and did Thursday's patch? Yeah, because a Thursday morning when many people are at work in the U.S. is a more important time than prime time in the U.S. :\
    I think Cryptic made it very clear that they don't give a rats TRIBBLE about what time it is in the US or anywhere else for that matter when they took the servers down at 11pm Eastern time on a freakin' Saturday, this past weekend.

    No, the server went down unexpectedly. They did a favor by putting the patch through while the server is already down.

    That's not a favor... an update to the french client? Thursday morning's downtime would not have affected me at all... this one is.

    I sure hope my 124.99 dollars went to good use over there.

    i.e i hope to use my Legacy Pack in the near future and maybe i don't know fix some of the bugs so i can enjoy it instead of the mess today.

    btw i may be a lowly player but combining a new Neverwinter with a old favorite STO wasn't the best idea.

    Even Wesley Crusher wouldn't do that. Annoying yes, smart hell yes
