Seriously? That's going a bit far. Why don't we see how long it takes them to fix the issue before going all "full whine ahead" on it. If it's a couple hours, why should they hand out $25-50 PER PLAYER? seriously.
Yeah, I complain, but its not that I expect compensation, its to make light of a serious issue on their end.
If you don't understand that EVERY online game *EVER* released has had serious issues, including with expansions, then you should do some light reading while the servers are being fixed. Welcome to the world of software development.
Do not fear my friends! I have gotten a Communications through to Cryptic about the situation, and they have sent me back a message!
"We're currently aware of an issue some users may be experiencing when attempting to log in. We're working to address this issue as soon as possible, please be patient while we investigate. Please wait a short while and attempt to log in again."
Is this Cryptic being Cryptic?? Well, at least they are "investigating"
no its them saying HAHAHA sucker we got your money now you can wait .....
and its game lag 100% all the issues....
during the server down time i let the game patch while i went to watch my son play at the junior Olympics of his school
No patching for me while everyone tried to get in to the game
Sadly after celebrating my son's birthday, i find out cryptic **** hit the fan again
What a mess mess mess
If anyone thinks we are complaining because the game is having problems with a major expansion... wrong. We are complaining because the same mistakes are repeated over and over with every major update. Same mistakes that almost made the game fail at launch, more than 3 years ago. Here:
OMG. I'm number 881 waiting right now. Talk about a deli counter ticket from hell. :mad:
Here is an idea... if you revamp the whole game and add 30% more content, maybe you should add more server power. It took hours to upload the pact, and now I wait some more.
LOL Talk about a deli counter ticket from hell. more like Talk about a Dept of Motor Vehicle (DMV) from hell renewing your drivers license. :mad: I was logged and timed out then booted me back out by heavy lag .
Nice ignorant and racist quote there bro, must be us americans fault and not every single player trying to play the new expansion they have been hyping for the past 2 months. Your a fool keep your racist bull**** to yourself. The paying customers want to be able to play.
You need to brush up on your definitions of ignorance and racism.
What i did was merely an observation of the facts.
Since the update i played for over 3 hours without any problems and when the end of the workday in the US timezone arrives the servers overload.
I used the word yank, but that word holds neither malice nor racial bigotry.
It's the day of one of the largest updates in the history of STO when it is to be expected that the servers will get a lot on their plate and yet we see a massive amount of players signing in and updating in a very short period of time.
It would have been smart to wait 1-2 hours and spread out. If you have the option to avoid a traffic jam do you avoid it or park your car right in the middle?
This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.
Um, hi, I'm a sub, why am I waiting in a queue to play this game?

Golds queue with Golds, ahead of Silvers. It's always been that way.
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.
You're in a Queue because the server is full... Full of everyone, not just Silver players that you hate.
You're in a queue, same as I am. I'm 1614 out of #### whatever number it is now. You're in the front, others are behind you... Wait your dang turn to play...

Great Job Cryptic. You bring out this awesome expansion and dont beef up the servers to handle it. We see this with other games and expected better outa you. What a let down feeling to have to wait to play the new stuff.

Bravo... Well said.

What a mess mess mess
I'm a lifer since STO closed beta, and i can only get very nervous when I see the same mistakes repeated all the time. It's sick.
I have an idea... remove the Romulan update. lol That should fix it.
(You think cryptic is going to ban me sooner or later for the flak I'm giving them. lol)
On a side note, I decided to try to earn some Zen while waiting and take some of their surveys. To bad I didn't qualify for any of them....

LOL, for a game I pay to play. That's rich!

It's not like silver players get kicked out of the game.
Btw, 3355/4508 if anyone cares.

this is unbelievably pathetic
maybe not kicked but we should be HOL. there are not THAT many LTS out there
Don't believe the lies in this forum. I am NOT an ARC user. I play STO on Steam or not at all.
You get moved to the head of the line relative to F2P players, and the end of the line relative to other lifers.
