Any chance we can get a dev to come in and list the bugs they know about and are fixing?
Would probably settle quite a few....
Lets hope this can get sorted soon, as haemorrhaging players isn't good for the long run.
no it wont settle a lot of players
i can understand unexpected stuff happening but there is a repeated pattern here with them and patches
every content patch they have this same problem, as i have said before the anniversary events first week was just like this too
it happens over and over
they need to prevent this stuff... largest patch ever and only in open beta for 1 week.....
this is
Star Trek Vista
darn the bugs and full speed to market Mr Gates
i really like this game, but they have to increase quality control

Nope, at least not right now.
This is what I figure. Cryptic just launched NVW. And as has been said in this thread, Cryptic is a small company. i.e. not a huge dev staff. It seems as though STO is low priority for Cryptic right now. STO has an established, loyal playerbase. NVW does not. So right now the devs are working on making sure NVW is working they way they want it to before they get to STO. Or, at the very least, they don't have much resources devoted to it right now.
The attitude seems, in my opinion, to be: "STO players aren't going anywhere, where else can they get Star Trek? NVW is one amongst many fantasy MMORPG's, go fix that first."
NVW has had patches and bugfixes on 5/23, 5/24, 5/27, and 5/29. Now I don't play NVW, but I haven't seen any downtime notices on the forums over there. No "stability issues".
If there's a problem with my logic, feel free to let me know (as if you need my permission lol).
Listing the bugs would take too much time, plus people that have been here for years would go "oh yeh i remember that bug from the beta days! Plus it would just show how buggy the game is, which isn't good for any company they like to get players in, get them to spend and then find the bugs for themselfs.
Also not all the bugs would be listed becuse soem would be forgotten about and others they just would not list for "security reason" or "abuse" i mean i mailed support about a bug a few weeks back where all my items was displaying the wrong values and by the time they had replied i had already fixed the problem with three year old information but, support said it was a new bug. Maybe i didnt explain it right? But you would of thought that "runabout bug" was a HUGE clue lol
........ ya know I have been trying to be positive about this.........
but come on guys at least give us some info we have put alot of time and money into this game and while I understand about the bugs they happen please tell us when and if you are gonna fix them "server stability" tells us nothing we have all experianced bugs some of which are annoying like how you auto retarget fighter or heavy projectiles when you trigger a heal and then you blow up cause you are healing a damn heavy plasma torp.
While I love the expansion and the game you guys gotta keep us in the loop about these bug fixes please.
Funny how the sever always goes down on either a mirror event or bonus marks. One would think we may be surpassing Cryptic's expectations too quickly. :rolleyes:

coming down again? seriously devs spend a week writing the code to create stability and fixes then deploy it once, ppl will respect you more than if you if you bring the servers down several days in a row to perform small amost meaningless patches
Stability maintenance IS doing something at least. I've had better connectivity this past week, but compared to year-round server performance, it's not an improvement.
better connectivity... lucky you i just DC all the time mainly in the middle of STFS or a long mission like colisium....
Ok chaps - I think most of us understand that this work needs to be carried out - but all the dev guys and management must see how this looks to the customers. We're getting down time after down time with little in the way of communication about what's really going on and it's impacting big time on the EU players.
At least you need to throw us a bone - a nice bonus item for everyone who played since Legacy went live (thinking pick of a lock box ship)? Maybe a DXP event?
Being a subscriber to Star Trek Online since beta I would like to thank the Star Trek Online staff for a most wonderful time playing. Thank you for your hard work and dedication and despite trying times like these you all manage to work a miracle like Montgomery Scott.
So loyal players, lets hoist a mug of coffee (or other caffeinated brain cell stimulating beverage) and give three cheers for the Cryptic staff!

So, this is day, what?, 5 of "server stability" updates? I'm getting really POed at cryptic/pw for not being able to maintain their servers. I have barely any time so when I get the chance it's always down for maintenance. Can't you do the updates offline then take the server down for a few minutes to upload the new updates?
another downtime wtf ? , we know the work needs doing but everyday is a little much tbh
There are no patch notes for this maintenance other than "Server stability updates."
with how many of these there has been it should be the best running server in the world but it is not , what are you doing guys/gals ? . as with no patch notes what is the 132mb we download ?
All I see on this forum right now is Moan moan moan the game is down agian cry cry.
all I say to that is grow the hell up, I am a LTS and I am not complaining, I fully understand why it is needed as the servers are still slightly laggy and i would rather them fix it now, it means that we dont get to play the game for 1 hour 30mins, OMG the world will end........ nope it just means less time to level our charcters and Fleets.
Why not during the down time go out and enjoy the sun and fresh air, or read a book?
To be honest a more detailed explanation of the problem(s) being encountered would probably silence a lot of the complaints and allow for a more understanding response from all players
Nothing will ever silence complaints in the forums...

No, beacause all they are doing is restarting the server every day so it doesn't crash. And even then, sometimes it crashes anyway.
As far as patching the game goes... they already got everyone's money from LoR related ship and service sales, they don't care anymore. If the sales were bad, you can be sure they would patch broken stuff ASAP.
This is getting beyond a joke now and turning into a farce, Daily maintenance that never works or fixes anything. Not to mention the fact of the times they do it at. it's not 7am everywhere CRYPTIC GET A GRIP. for instance here in the UK all this "stability maintenance" occurs between 1 and 5 PM the middle of the day, weekly maintenance isn't too much of a hassle but this is every day and nothings getting fixed.
Why not fix some S**T then you wont have to annoy us on a daily basis.

people are moaning as you put it because the repeated downtime and the problem still happens or don't you understand that ? , also the devs saying nothing also bother's people who pay for subs . understand now or am I not speaking good enough English ?
It seems to me that anytime you undertake changes of this scope, you will run into problems. Yes the new bugs are a little annoying, but I am having way more fun playing my Romulan character than I ever did playing my Federation or Klingon characters. I trust that the bugs and instability are more of a nuisance for them than they are for us, so I have been trying to keep it all in perspective. Kudos on all the new content!
On the upside, there's now plenty of time to go and purchase a Legacy Pack as Cryptic repeatedly asks you to do in the face of all of this downtime. :rolleyes:
I am really tired of you ****ing whiners, why don't you get off you TRIBBLE and apply to do the fixes then you lazy ingrates oh but wait that would mean yo have to WORK, all you people yelling this sucks fix this **** and so on, do any of you have a clue of how things really work any clue of HOW MUCH CODE needs debugging that take time so shut the hell up and think maybe it could be YOUR computer that sucks **** and YOUR internet connection that causes lag. IN closing to use the words of William Shatner "GET A ****ING LIFE!" it is the same group of TRIBBLE whining about the same thing but i fear i am wasting my breath cause trolls will be trolls.
And to the people fixing this issues to witch i have not really seen cause i have a good computer and some of the best connection speeds in the world keep up the good work
Perhaps I should have said running well for me then. I am sorry but I hardly ever see a disconnect, maybe once a day. That also goes for my fleet mates, we do three hours of events every evening and I am yet to see one of them kicked or DCed since LoR began.
Perhaps it is different in different countries, perhaps people are getting DCed depending on their own hardware. One thing we know is a reboot of your router/modem clears up a lot of DC/connection issues.
There certainly are a lot of bugs, I have contributed at least 10 to the consolidated bug list so far, but I am confident these will be addressed, however as previously stated it takes time.
Cheers
Matt
* Rant off * Sorry about the tone of my last post Matt
I'm in the UK as well and have contributed to the bug list,but my patience is being sorely tested at the moment.I'm all for server stabilty but the lack of fixes for this update is just unacceptable in todays MMO climate,not to mention the complete lack of info that is currently not coming from these games developers.
Brans cut and paste comments are just insulting,how do they think we are going to voice our disappointment at the state of the game after this large update?

your welcome, I have found that all the ******** takes place when they ANNOUNCE they down the downtime and not during the down time so that means you all read the forums all day everyday and troll so when do you all play STO then? not during the down time for sure and if your ******** about bugs and the down time when the game is up how do you all know that game if full of bugs and ****? please answer me this.

Neverwinter offline 2hrs for patches
STO offline for stability
Reality sto offline so they can patch neverwinter whilst not fixing known sto bugs
Now as I don't know if neverwinter has been offline at the same time I'm just playing the guessing game...
