A wise person once said: "mommas, dont let yer boys grow up to be mommas...". That, and being able to login and enjoy STO any given evening, are now, sadly, like dust in the wind... . .
Is anyone from Perfect World even watching this thread?
Even a generic word from Branflakes saying
"we know about the problem and are working on a solution"
would be appreciated at this point, although an
Estimated Time for a fix would be even better.
This is stupid. Wow. I'm a new user, and I've just bruised my jaw from it hitting the floor. So this is typical?
Well between the bugs I've seen in a couple of missions being impossible to complete, that awesome bug where no matter what I did I couldn't get into the mode where I could use my weapon...and now the game is effectively non-existent...
Whose fate was sealed as soon as EA got their claws into them.
The quality of Bioware games steadily went down since the buy out.
As with any game EA gets their hands on. Anyone remember Earth and Beyond? Loved it! Until they dropped it to try and boost sales for their lame TRIBBLE Sims game.
Ultima Online? Loved it! Until EA completely ruined it with their fancy updates. Well, Raph Kostar technically ruined that one just like SWG...
EA and Raph Kostar, if you see their names attached to it, Run.
To whine about whine is fine
To whine about downtime is not
Come now whining whiners over whiners
Is "Want some cheese?" the best that you've got?
Just a thought, but maybe if the anti-whiner whiners did a little whining instead of telling everyone to be thankful that they get to play for free (those fleet modules and Zen Store ships didn't really cost anything you know), maybe Cryptic/PWE would not pat themselves on the back during these things and hug the thoughts of one or two people who would be thankful for any chance to rally the team to the cause of "They are trying!"
Someone said "What can you do to help from behind a computer?" Well, quite possibly just a shade less than the people behind the computers in the server center are doing. Maybe they should read a book, eh? "Servers for Dummies" sounds apt.
So quit your whining about whining. Go do something else. Want some cheese with that?

Except if the internet worked the way STO does, it would have died long ago.
"With the first link, the chain is forged. The first speech censored, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains us all irrevocably."
This is good, make 6-7 more threads to complain about the complainers. THEN... THEN we can have another thread complaining about the complainers who complain about the original complainers!! :eek:
Some of us have pretty limited time to play as we do actually have lives other than video games. So when we want to play it's nice for the servers to be up. But, as we have all found it's quite rare to be able to log in.
Not that rare. I work 57 hours a week, but I generally can play when I want.
Does the current server downtime suck? Sure.
Will it be up tomorrow if I want to play? Most likely.
Awww jeez, i forgot I left a cake in the replicator....it's going to be ruined by the time we get back in...and I bet my alarm clock is beeping like crazy because the cake should be done by now...pah..typical..
probably doesn't help that there are several threads about this situation...hey ho..more places for me to be pessimistic and inuenduous....yes...that is now a word...i made it..*Mental flex*

I remember Earth and Beyond...I will never forgive EA for what they did. I cried when they bought out Bioware.
This proves my point that when there is a big launch like Legacy of Romulus in the future they need to do extensive testing instead of pushing it out buggy.
I play another online game and they did a two month closed Beta before going live on 1 server and then releasing to everyone. I realize we only have 1 server but my point is Information Technology 101 teaches us to test software before releasing it.
Hell they could probably monetize access to a couple beta servers, making releases more stable and make a bit of profit on the side :S
Good. It's about time the server crashed so they could fix the login and disconnection problems that have been effecting people since yesterday's (6/12) mini-patch.

I've eaten mine, it was in frustration whilst watching the little red light turn green in the launcher.
Been playing STO since Open Beta, and have never regarded anything as worse than 'meh', if only due to personal standards.
A: Nothing, just let out a little wine.
Well between the bugs I've seen in a couple of missions being impossible to complete, that awesome bug where no matter what I did I couldn't get into the mode where I could use my weapon...and now the game is effectively non-existent...
I'm thinking I may be in the wrong place.

Beat me to it.
so....by being completely free and not having to ever buy anything......it is the most expensive game on the "net" ?
really?

I wish it did, that would give me something to do during outages

Check and more
Its down too
Data: Captain, I believe I speak for everyone here, sir, when I say, "To hell with our orders." :cool:
INORITE...
Servers' down? : "to be expected, stop whining"
Game glitch? : "known issue [for 13months], be patient"
Unwelcome nerf? : "you exploiters deserved it"
The list goes on
If your post is anything like, "I have a sandwich so you can't be starving" it's time to rethink posting. ~thlaylierah
