    Hopefully they fix the Warp-Out bug that everyone has been experiencing as well.
    Kind of annoying trying to get into Mirror Invasion and only able to do one run in the hour allotted due to auto-warping out.

    On the plus side, even though there are a few expected bugs (and some unexpected) overall, the whole Legacy of Romulus ROCKS

    This feels like a week old MMO not one thats over 3 years old.

    For some reason I read that as :

    "This feels like a wreck of an MMO"

    What you's dont realise, is they are working 7 days a week for ungrateful gits like you babies.
    At least the rest of us, are being patient, and know, oneday, that they will sort the issues out. So stop complaining, and give the guys credit!
    I dont blame bran flakes for locking the thread last night, you cry babies are a pack of little school girls......grow up!!!

    Cryptic, keep up the awesome work you guys are doing, I am very grateful you are all trying to do your very best in fixing issues in-game :)

    Well said!! I'm sure the Devs are as frustrated that these new seasons don't go without hitch but I'm sure they're doing their utmost to resolve the issues.

    Out of curiousity, when do you think they, or any other company, should be scheduling maint/updates?

    I really don't think there's a "sweet spot" of time. We live in a global world now...

    its not that its occasionally in euro prime time its ALWAYS in euro prime time EVERY DAMN TIME, i perfectly understand the requirements for maintenance but they always put it at the worst time for those of us that are not in the US.

    First thing: You did a great job on the LoR content and the designs,
    But well, its all about the same problem:
    The Cryptic PWE Devs or who ever is in charge there. The poor guys that work on the servers are just following orders, while the guys up there in the ranks are too greedy to buy a second bigger server or servers for all the games they have...
    It is sad that you test a game on a testserver just to find out, that when the real deal launches, they start working on bugs. Its a statement of cheap poorness of a company if you treat a bunch of customers in europe this way. There is a timeframe between european and american primetime, why not maintain the bandates on the server in this timeframe? start 30 min in american and end 30 min in european primetime, that leds you guys enough time to TRIBBLE up more things.
    And btw, seriously, working on the serverstability every day... that sounds really... like you are unable to di your work...

    What the heck do you think happened after Thursday's maintenance when suddenly everyone could get on with no queues again? I mean, you'd have to be deluding yourself to think that STO had just as much traffic after LoR release as it did before.

    A magic code fix that allowed another 20,000 people to log in while simultaneously fixing the lag?
    Seems way more likely that they went and rented a second datacenter for a month or two to deal with the huge traffic increase.

    Bran is spending time with his family, he deserves it and I hope he enjoys the weekend.

    On a more annoying note. AGAIN? for the love of GOD, set crews to fix this flipping problem already, not cut 2 hours every day out of prime gametime in europe.

    or get the fixes in during night time in europe, not at the ******n prime game time.

    unlike alot of the other forums posters i have not had problems getting logged into the game and have been playing LoR just fine...i hope now that the rest of the forum population can get into your game Cryptic....your "server stability and maintenance patches" are starting to get old...i really cannot see any reason why this is happening other than you could not...would not, test things any better before pushing them to a "live" server.....as i've read....most of these problems were pointed out to you on tribble last week...and you did nothing to resolve any of the reported problems....so sad at your response.....sigh

    Next time please patch at 7PM PDT instead of 7AM PDT !!!

    (Or in case of fairness alternate between 7AM and 7PM, so that not ALLWAYS the European players suffer the most from this downtime):mad:

    I agree with you, Cryptic have been working so hard for use players to create Season 8 Legacy of Romulus and I would say to have maintenance time is a blessing. Every so often on starships, Engineers have to do overhalls and engineering is always testing systems, never do you see the engineers not attending to the ship.

    Well done Cryptic keep up the good work, The faithful players appreciate your work:)

    ive still not been able to patch since release, ive sent several tickets, and get nothing but automated responses saying the issue is solved, but still cannot patch. its almost been a week since i could get on, and i was a daily player until the release date. ive uninstalled and reinstalled the game several times but when downloading patch the launcher stalls out somewhere between 500mb left and 1.5 gb to download, this last attempt ive been stuck on 700mb for 3 days, ive restarted launcher, especailly after maintenances and it will download 35mb and then freeze up again, any one have any ideas how to circumvent this?

    Two random things you could try, don't know how useful they will actually be:

    1) Signup for tribble and download the entire client, then try and patch holodeck

    2) Download the game through steam

    Come off it, would ya!? They're not running a charity, you know!? They're having customers pay thru their noses! I've been out of it myself, for like 8 months, and when I came back, I saw they still haven't fixed even a tiny thing as my bofs hovering ca. 20cm above their seats on the bridge of my mobius temporal ship. These people fix ****, ever! All they do is work on newer ****, to have you spend more money.

    i hope you fix the mailbox deletions, I'm trying to send my mails to all those newly created accounts but I cannot find any mails I didn't empty already, that 100 item limit is STUPID! I can't play my romulan because I keep important stuff in shared back like commodities and crafting mats so errybody can access them, but because I can't send my mk XII polaron cannons to my romulan I can't play this game.

    Put the item limit to 400 or some ****, and allow us to delete mail.

    The other alternative is to wait until your fix is actually ready and just implement it all at once.

    In Europa (Netherlands etc.) this means from 16.00 til 18.00 in the afternoon, every day !!! No, thanks we don't want this... :-((

    Sorry to jump in on this but I have been playing this game since after it launched and don't get me wrong I love being able to fly around in ships and doing missions on Fed and Rommy sides etc BUT having the maintenance or emergency maintenance during European timezone is a kick in the teeth. I re subbed to gold because I wanted the stipend and the few other features and I buy C Store Ships because I want quality not TRIBBLE but when its down it's like your treating everyone on the European side like second class citizens. Make the maintenance earlier so its in the afternoon and even earlier in the morning for the US or how about get separate servers but have a link between them so if an EU player wanted to they could play with their US Counterparts.

    I should stress that I am a loyal fan of this game and I know the Devs are working incredibly hard to fix all the bugs (and new content launches are often full of them so its kinda expected) but maybe someone above the Devs needs to get more staff. I'm fully aware companies are out for profit but you won't have profit if you fan base decides it's had enough and jumped ship to another MMO. Coming to think about it the Pandas in WoW aren't so bad and they don't bug out...

    I'll keep playing this game but at some point I'm going to quit and probably a lot of others would too with all the stuff happening.

    It's a US based business man... Most people work during the day 8-5 etc. in ANY timezone so of course they are going to apply more patches first thing in the a.m. during their shift. Why come back into work late at night just to run a patch/fix?

    Not saying us here in the U.S. are entitled or anything, but i'm sure MMO company's in other countries like yours probably follow the same practice. So if STO was Europe based i'm sure we'd be the ones wondering what the hell they were thinking doing patches in our prime time. :eek: :D

    Either way someone gets screwed :/

    I don't mind the dailly maint as i'm from SWG where the servers were down dailly for 2 hour maint, like others have mentioned it's just the timing thats frustrating as i'm in UK the times are 3pm till 5pm on average, this is one of my quiet times while kids are eating tea, any chance of some Euro love with timings now and then please.
    I love the expansion and will be taking advantage of the lifetime sale roughly 5 days before it's due to end, always told myself next sale i'd purchase i just didn't expect it to be when i'd already forked out for the legacy pack lol, with that said yeah i'm disappointed about the downtime and patches and remaining bugs but aside from the long que and random disconnects they're not game breaking, just annoying.
    The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.
