Since the patch...

Since the patch, I was plagued with the "Login failed for unknown reason" for about fourty five minutes, thankfully that seems to have resolved itself (for me at least) and I was finally able to get in, and so far, my gameplay has been kind of like this

Start Mission
Get half way through mission
Disconnect
Reconnect
RESTART mission because I wasn't able to get to a mission checkpoint
Get to checkpoint in mission
Disconnect
Reconnect
Continue mission from checkpoint
Reach checkpoint
Disconnect
Reconnect
RESTART mission from previous checkpoint as the checkpoint I just reached didn't register before I disconnected
Reach checkpoint
Finish mission
Disconnect
Reconnect
Restart checkpoint
Finish mission
Disconnect
Reconnect
Claim reward
Get next mission
Go to mission start
Disconnect
Reconnect
Get booted at login screen and have to restart launcher
Disconnect
Reconnect
Get to next mission start place, talk to mission giver
Disconnect
Reconnect
You get the idea.

This constitutes a MAJOR problem. I am a Gold subscriber, I pay every month to be able to utilize an entertainment service, just like I pay for my cable, I expect to be able to utilize this service when I please, with the exception of scheduled, or on RARE occasions, unscheduled maintenance downtime. Imagine what would happen to a cable company if every time you turned on your TV, you could watch for ten minutes, then your signal dropped out and you had to restart your cable box or TV in order to continue using the service that you pay for every month. There would be a HUGE outcry, and the problem would get fixed in a matter of a few hours, at most a couple of days.

It seems that every time the servers are taken down, things get worse than they were before they were taken down, I don't understand this. are these things not tested before they are put in a live environment? I thought that was what the purpose of having test servers was, was to TEST things that you were getting ready to push to make sure they didn't break something else. So far, after todays patch, it seems that more things were broken than were fixed. I have NEVER had this many disconnect issues in this, or any other game as I have had since the servers came back up from the last patch.

    The game's made a habit of kicking me from marks-earning STFs seconds before the end, so I conveniently miss out on the marks box by the time I've managed to relog :mad:

    Oh, and on a probably completely unrelated note, I'm unable to turn in any Red Alert missions... period. Federation, Klingon, Romulan, doesn't matter who does it, I can't contact Starfleet/Command/the KDF or whatever to turn them in, the button remains grey even though I did NOT disconnect/change instance/or anything else that people say causes the problem. I start in one instance, finish the mission SUCCESSFULLY, meaning the unimatrix ship warps in and promptly gets blown up within the 10 minute time limit, and then... nothing, can't turn in mission, only thing I can do is warp out and delete the mission from my log.
