I betcha Data encrypted the server security protocols with that sequence in TNG: Brothers, in Picards voice, the server got confused and keeled over in protest!
I'm now fighting with both the "Retrieving Character List" issue and a new issue - Retriving List Of Maps.
I can - though not reliably - reach the character select screen. When I get there, it takes an age to load my characters - which, by the way, are bugged to all high heaven; my Starfleet captain has three Orion boffs >:\ - and when I click to login, it tells me my Romulan had an unsafe logout. I select safe login, a message about retreiving the list of maps comes up.
A minute or so later, i'm booted back to the login screen with a "Login Failed for unknown reasons" error.
You're just a machine. And machines can be broken.
I spent 300 hundred dollars for gold, and hundreds on lock box keys...etc. this sucks, I demand to be able to log on now! how about Now!!!!! ok now? common guys fix this. You guys better hurry up and fix this before all the sto players withdraw subsides and we start doing other things like moving out of our chairs and living in the real world.
Quite interesting, I actually managed to log in, after a fashion (retried for over half an hour). Can walk around on Nimbus 3, but can't turn any quests in, not even doff mission claims respond.
Just tried instance hopping for the heck of it, and...
...yeah, it's not going anywhere. Game's learning to count, if nothing else.
On the bright side, there was no lag. :P
Oh well, I got four hours in at least (game went live at 11:51am PST).
Huh, there's a new one. "timeout while waiting for GameServer address."
I'm confused. Aren't they supposed to have a queue so that they don't get overloaded like this? What exactly is the point of being a gold member and bypassing queues if they aren't even using them, and just throwing everyone in at once so that the servers can time everyone out?
Six hours to patch, finally log in and I find my missions has reset back to the very beginning, all progress lost. Then to add insult to injury, I loose connection to the server and can't log back in again.
I recently came back after long break (I played the Beta and a few weeks after) and I said this at the time and I'll say this again. Giving Cyrptic this licence was the biggest mistake Viacom ever made. They are just not equipped to handle a licence of this popularity. Flame me if you like for this opinion but the proof is there to see every peak time log in, every patch day (and that's before I start on the actual in-game issues such as comically bad animations and voice acting).
Says you.... this is not proof of anything....
How many times was WoW down during major patches and expansions? well how many? So we should yank WoW license from Blizzard for launch issues.....
Many of us are in same boat but we are not off on a tangent like you are, a launch with major changes is bound to have issues, also have you stop to think that there a lot of people trying to login at once and that its causing a bottle neck? No, you didn't....
I don't want any comment from Cryptic until after this is fixed. Because every moment spent trying to soothe ruffled feathers in here is a moment not spent solving the problem.

AHHHHHHHHH!H!H!HHHHHHHHA GRRRRRRRRHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHHGERRRRHHHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHHAHAHAHHGER...... Wait for it now the fit....... AAHAHAHAHAHAHRHEHEHDHDHRHEHEHEHEHRRRRRRRAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Dam!
I played the beta and played for about 3 months after. I lost that account and toon so last year i started over and was happy to pay for this game and i still am. I have played every MMO out there and did beta on most of them. I am 36 And have been a gamer for a very very long time so i am used to stuff like this happening but this has been in beta for a few months now and they had to know that it was going to be a big thing star trek is always a big thing and i'm sorry but they knew this would happen and should have prepared a bit better for it. I started the pre-patch a few days ago so it only took me 5 min to patch today. I know there are a lot of gamers out there like me and knew this was going to happen and i am sure it will be taken care of as soon as they can figure out how to. I am not mad at anyone because the game is good but they could update us a little bit better. :cool:
The game just managed to load my characters. They are alive and kicking! Now I get stuck at "Retrieving list of maps", though. But it seems they are getting there...
While it's frustrating not to have more information... given a choice between Cryptic a) communicating with the user base, or b) fixing the damn problem, I will take b) every time. (Yeah, in an ideal world, they could do both... last time I read a newspaper, though, this wasn't an ideal world.)
I'm just going to go do something else while this gets fixed, now. And I recommend this course of action to everyone else, because we're not going to get anywhere fretting over this.
i was playing fine when I started at 3pm est. and about 7 o clock I got kicked of and now its giving me the same as others login fail for unknown reasons why please up date us on why this is happening so we know I have to go to work tonight I wanted some play time damnit.:mad:
I don't want any comment from Cryptic until after this is fixed. Because every moment spent trying to soothe ruffled feathers in here is a moment not spent solving the problem.
I'd sure like to know what better use you think a Community Manager would have when it comes to server hardware and game software bug fixing.
Keep up the good work devs! ignore the haters and keep doing what you're doing! Nothing is ever perfect in the beginning! But you'll get there in the end! I'm sure of that much!
Only problem is, This is NOT the begining, this is the same as every other time they add something to the game. I would except it if it was day one of a new game launch, unfortunately, this game is over 3 years old.
What is really sad, is we as consumers have come to except this from a company we pay for a service, that is truly sad.
