OK so a server crash happens and then they decide to take the opportunity to release a patch early, will this mean we will also get the usual patch day crash later tonight after the servers are up? I wouldnt be surrised to have crash number 5 within a week on the same day as the 4rth.

Look at what you're doing Cryptic, you're causing us to reveal personal information on the internet!
We've been doing that for years its called Google, Facebook and Twitter. What can I say my sanity is shaken by all this server downtime. :P Besides I'm not ashamed of my interest in Andorian Culture.

You think your SERVERS are safe? It is an illusion. A comforting lie told to protect you. Enjoy these final moments of Playtime. For I have returned, to have my vengeance!
Cryptic should hire Sherlock to figure out what the hell is going on with thar servers :<
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.
They have taken the server down every Thursday for... a long time. As I said, the server came down today without their doing, so they might as well put the patch through now while it is down *without their doing*.

It doesnt that stuck me as funny and Ooorah is is something stat we say in the Marines or did till i broke my ankle last year and got boot because thay dont have enough money to fix broke D!##s
I love the fleet I was invited to. KHG, one of the best communities to be in, imo. 8 total fleets, 3 of which are Federation. They are great people, too. I joined just today, but they have been some fun people to chat with.
I've been with this fleet for a while and have never had any issues with any of the fleet system, same experience as you, great people, great banter and a great supporting community. We never struggle with projects and the projects aren't too demanding or anything, which is why I fail to understand this persons problem with the fleet system I think it's great, the worst bit of it would be those featured projects, but they're optional anyway!

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!!
Using the Lord's name in vain will not get the server up any faster

wow think i just totally quated the wrong one haha!
Does anyone else find it annoying that the server has been down for over 2 hours.......they decided to do the Thurs Patch...and I have yet to find a post anywhere on the Official STO Website?
fourth time within a week, looks like NW is going to ruin STO because of this.
Hey..don't blame NW, it's the fault of cheapass PW using the same servers for more then one game. I mean what did they think would happen, things would just run perfectly. :rolleyes:

While this may be true there's still no confirmation that these errors stop at Cryptic, it could be a service provider or something that's causing the problem, I don't know so I don't complain.
I understand your point and agree completely but to put it in similar terms if your satellite dish stops working you don't moan at your TV manufacturer. Until you know for certain it is a problem caused purely by Cryptic, then complain at them, if they aren't willing to tell you complain at them for that.
Here's the problem I have with your analogy: if your TV goes out repeatedly and you're still under warranty (whether it be the warranty that was included with the TV that you paid for or an extended warranty that you paid for), you do moan at your TV manufacturer. If your satellite dish stops working then you moan at your satellite provider (whose service - you guessed it - you paid for.)
The only way you can not hold Cryptic accountable (if you're paying them) is if your lack of connectivity is due to circumstances that aren't affecting the entire community. My stance on these outages used to be as simple as "I gave them money, I expect uptime" but this is uncharted territory for me (paying for something that I can also get for free, and having it break repeatedly on me). Things aren't so black-and-white for me now...but I will say that Cryptic is going to have to start treating this like a business if they have long-term plans for it. That means SDLC, change control, accountability, the whole nine. I think that the suits at Cryptic understand this (if they don't then Cryptic needs some new suits.)
Free-to-play or not - if you want your project to be anything more than a flash in the pan, you have to start looking at things differently when you start accepting payment from your customer base in any form. Call them (myself included, if this qualifies) whiners all you want, but perception is everything - and negative perception from paying customers ain't gonna keep the lights on.

Yeah right they spent your 124.99 on candy and a movie for all the staff lol.

What if the real bugs are french?

That's ok. Soon a giant man will show up to take you off to "wizard school."

So, a beta server is the first ?
Thank you Cryptic for relegating your STO players to second class citizens. Bravo.
Will there be pie?
