Just got in after over an hour of ****ing Queueing and I am greeted with a message "The shard will be coming down in 10 mins" they are seriously taking the ****ing TRIBBLE!
lol, I'm sorry that is bad. This morning I was trying to finish up rep stuff before I had to go to work and I was constantly DCed and then when I logged back in I was dumped into the queue. I feel your pain, I was about to log on to do some rep grinding and I'm greeted by a tweet that the servers are going down.
Hi, my name is: Elim Garak, Former Cardassian Oppressor
LTS, here since...when did this game launch again?
This happened to me too last night after 6 hours of patching and repatching. 10 minutes in game then down for maintenance. So yeah I know how you feel.

hey i walked through the door, kissed my honey and realized he wasn't playing. I looked at the computer and saw the red underneath the login and now I'm just shaking my head

I got in just before the 10 minute alert too. was almost funny in a sad pathetic way. But managed to get my new ship rigged and ready to fly and that makes it worse because i enjoy testing a new build out.

They are doing a LOT to mitigate these problems. Would you rather sit through those queues and get kicked from overload, or sit through the queues to ket kicked with a message saying they will fix all your worries?
Seriously, they have a lot of **** to deal with. Having like 30-40k people eagerly wanting to try out LOR is REALLY a big crapstorm, for everyone. It's really hard to deal with this many people...So...i'll say again,

Stop complaining.
Bloody hell, someone needs radical surgery to remove their nose from Cryptic's bumhole!

Or! Maybe you're just SUPER entitled. You COULD have admins that don't do ANYTHING, would you like that? You seem to be complaining about them actually DOING SOMETHING, so I think that's exactly what you want - for them to stop developing for the game at all.
Conjecture or do you have facts to back up that statement?

You will be presenting evidence to back up your claims soon?
Isn't that what the forums are for? Isn't it a medium to vent ones frustrations? Sorry, I just noticed you engaging in the very thing you do not want others to do.
If nobody complains then nothing gets fixed. Nothing gets fixed then yes they stopped developing except to create more expansions. But those expansions wont sell and pay the bills because of the bad reputation gained for being terrible.
Best thing customers can do is make a complaint when something is broken. STO is broken! telling them to stop complaining is counterproductive when servers are up and down like a yo-yo and qeue's from hell complaints are needed to get them motivated to get the servers fixed.
I am glad they are doing maintanence but again I think it is crappy timing as it is the fourth one I have seen during peak hours. Really bad practice there since it shuts off the majority of the fanbase. But hey whoever is in charge making those choices could just get replaced if they keep it up and kill the bottom line even further.

I think you missed the memo. This is a game. Nothing more.
Your TRIBBLE-licking love for people who couldn't give a flying toaster about you is nice, in a 7 year old kind of way. Give us a call when you enter RealLife at level 1.
If they truly were doing a LOT, they would have found these things via the thorough play testing they never do.
LOL this right here i have to laugh i'm sorry but u must be playing my little pony right? cause even with "thorough" play testing bugs/glitches/and other odd problems can and well still get through it happens all the time.

I am sorry and I understand your frustration but that is freaking hilarious! Again sorry, but I just laughed when I read that.

Stop being a lame muppet and wipe your nose.
You say I need to present evidence that dealing with 40,000 people constantly taxing someone's servers? *facepalm*
You say that they aren't doing anything?
***Resolved Issues***
"Login failed for unknown reason" error
Missing additional character slot for current/ lapsed Gold Members
Slow patching in the launcher
A bug that involved Romulan Liberated Borg captains and their skills once they chose an ally
What, you think they are taking off the servers just to trick us into thinking they are doing something?
I refuse to continue this argument any further after this post. You seem to be very passionate about the subject.
Meh, come back from shopping and head upstairs with my iced coffee, sit down, and they are fixing stuff. Which is good, but now when the game is up I'll have finished my coffee and the bathroom is downstairs, you see the issue... I will get stuck in the queue simply because this iced coffee is too good.
...and I hit the button and the game is up lol, that's good customer support right there.

I had a big long rant lined up for you, bud. Because I know just by reading your responses to other people that I'm smarter than you without trying.
Let me open with a question. Did you play on Tribble? If so, what did you test? Did you do the new fleet actions? New missions? Any group stuff?
If you did all this stuff, how many times did you encounter/report issues?
If you didn't do any, then why the hell are you talking?
They opened a test server for us to test the game. Not to TRY it, which is what I keep hearing from people when something hits Tribble. "Oh, I'mma go try it out." No. You don't go to the test server for spoilers. You go there to intentionally break the game.
That's what test servers are for. People pile in like psychos and look for ways to break the game. Then you report the broken thing. See, we don't seem to do that.
Instead, we go onto the test server and come back with "I don't like the colours".
Maybe next time around, players will jump on the "break the game" bandwagon so that Season Eight (or nine, depending on whether LoR counts as a season) will go smoother.
Meanwhile, enjoy your moments of self-entitled douchebaggery. It suits you.
I have to admit the queues don't bother me one red cent because as a lifetimer I don't have a queue.
But I do agree that 2 hour plus maintenance literally in prime time hours and all the time I have left to play tonight is a PITA. That being said if it fixes the lag, other issues and help people who think free to play means they get the same rights as paying customers then sure help em out.
/facepalm to all the whiners about having to wait in a queue. Every major upgrade draws in the retired players and current players. You Silver Account gamers should have learned that by now. You don't pay a monthly subscription(or LTS), so get in line behind the players that do. Don't like the line? Buy a monthly membership. In a month, the line will be gone anyway. Me? I'd pay the $20 just to not wait in line over the next month. You people are crazy.
You know Cryptic has Jumped the Proverbial Shark when they introduced Tractor Pulling to Star Trek Online!
