    well i see logic as a problem how do you put a creature on your bridge that requires temperatures like a tholian likes

    Those people are probably downloading the patch from the 8th - or even earlier depending on the last time they patched Tribble.
    STO is about my Liberated Borg Federation Captain with his Breen 1st Officer, Jem'Hadar Tactical Officer, Liberated Borg Engineering Officer, Android Ops Officer, Photonic Science Officer, Gorn Science Officer, and Reman Medical Officer jumping into their Jem'Hadar Carrier and flying off to do missions for the new Romulan Empire. But for some players allowing a T5 Connie to be used breaks the canon in the game.

    that would make sense as there is nothing new on the tribble releases.

    Plus there were a lot of people who were given a Closed Beta invite but never knew it because they turned of their PWE/Cryptic email notification under My Account - and so they never received the email but could have been testing all along. Brandon talked about this back when Closed Beta started - that you should try and login even if you didn't receive the email.

    i tried it earlier on in the day and a few minutes before that exchange of words, no sign of getting the romulan adventure unlocked, nor the kdf.

    Yeah, same with me. I've tried every day since the 18th, just in case they were slowly adding people. But I did get to test the Fed-side changes, Warp Cores, new UI, etc. :)

    Nope, I think Perfect World is an Asian company, so they usually try to shaft the American players.

    I'm assuming you mean the Tribble testing? There's no set time for Tribble patches, it could be any time, I'm in the UK, it's 6pm, fully expecting it to be tomorrow before I play, although anything could happen, but don't get your hopes up

    In this case, you'll get the two usual Blizzard answers: "Soon" and "When it's ready".

    What maintenance, there is no maintenance, or have I missed something, I've checked the Dev Tracker?

    I wish to point out, as I did for another fellow, that the 10am time you saw was the time on Monday that the test weekend ENDS. It didn't specifically say when the test would start. (Unless somewhere in the deluge of comments below the article, BranFlakes or someone said so.)

    They don't post MAINTENANCE WARNINGS for TRIBBLE.

    Just watch for the Patch Notes in the TRIBBLE - ANNOUNCEMENTS & RELEASE NOTES section.


    Usually, either just before or just after, TRIBBLE goes down.

    I must admit I do find it strange that they gave an End Time and yet no start time.

    Recently, it has usually been between 6pm and 7pm, my time (EDT) that They have been updating Tribble.

    But who knows.

    Well being realistic if they did not wish to get our hopes up then maybe they should not have announced the open beta...ll

    This is true... I confess I was not expecting them to even hold an Open Beta.

    Log on to Tribble and test Legacy of Romulus this weekend from the time Tribble is patched with its update tomorrow until 10AM PDT on Monday, May 13th, 2013*.

    No mention of 10 PST today, only of a patch, which if you look in the patch notes has not happened yet.
