I Propose we all boycott STO for 1 day and 1 night, so when the Dev's DO manage to turn on those servers, the virtual regulus, tau dewa, Alpha Leonis sectors have nary a ship in site. Just silence. I Bet that'll put the sh*t up Cryptic Muahahahaha
How would they notice the boycott when the servers are down?
has anyone from cryptic even said anything about this down time.. ive been looking, and i see nothing.. do they even know? its been offline a while now, nothing on fb, nothing in the forums, nothing on the cover page..
"Retrieving list of characters..." followed by "Connection to Login Server timed out..."
Anyone know whats happening?
Reading through the forums, we have deduced the following possible reasons why we cannot play:
1) Hardware Failure
2) Software Failure
3) Failed Coding from latest patch
4) Cryptic's inability to pay anybody with a GED $10 to monitor game servers through the weekend; therefore, they don't know it's happening
5) Devs are preparing for the upcoming Roller Derby and took a hiatus from work
6) The Tal Shiar, KDF Intelligence, Section 31, or the Obama Administration have uploaded a virus into the latest patch that is slowly eating our game files.
7) The Borg assimilated the servers into the collective (actually PWE has already done this; can't be the reason).
8) Because Scotty is not a quality control engineer at Cryptic
East and Central Time Zones are off to bed... Mountain and Pacific and zones westward might get some time in in an couple hours. I look at this two ways. One it's payback for all the time Europe's Prime time has been crushed by downtime, and two... At least its Thursday night and not Friday night or Saturday when people have time to play or at least nothing much else to do and would be very bored if the downtime had occurred then. Could always be worse. So in a nutshell, catch up on some 'Z's and dream about STO. Maybe if we're good it will be back up by morning time USA.
I am in the eastern U.S time zone I am not in bed yet. I am watching my wife play Everquest whilst I GET my Drunk on... and think about reloading EQ2 onto my system cause it don't crash!
If this was once in a blue moon sort of thing I could understand that, but it happens way too much,
it's bad workman ship the programmers let this game down a lot, but it could also be because of the management giving them unreasonable time frames to complete work. I know many fans would happily wait a long longer for content if it gave us a stable product off the get go.
my thoughts exactly.
I have seriously considered paying for a life time subscription... but these continual issues are a major roadblock for me.

And I quote (as seen in their little "are you sure you need to contact us for help and you're not just f- dummy?" help pages they offer you when trying to contact support...
I found a bug in Star Trek Online that is not listed anywhere, how do I report it?
We love a good bug report with plenty of details and good reproduction steps that help us to track down the cause and get a fix in game as soon as possible. Please be aware that we only accept Bug Reports when submitted in-game. Let's go through the submission process...
OK, the mental retardation required to come up with this rule is astounding. The launcher, the software...need I point out the game server, and whatever custom bug reporting server they have, all have to be working in order to report a bug.
Perhaps they feel web applications aren't a mature enough technology. That would explain their lack of a grid status page.
How would they notice the boycott when the servers are down?
I think he meant once they did come online. :P

Anything I missed community?
yeah the possibility that it was the KDF intelligence or Section 31
We are the Borg. Existence as you know it is over. Lower your shields and surrender your ships. We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own. Your culture will adapt to service us. Resistance is futile.
how do you install a countdown timer to an unexpected crash?
Well, just for @#! and giggles. Can we say that the crashes are really unexpected anymore? This game has more downtime and patches then any other 3 MMOs on the market.
How the hell does STO, CO, and Neverwinter get to live when such a fine game like CoH lies in ashes. I know, I know, different dev and management team. But still. It's not fair. All this really has me thinking of quitting Cryptic altogether and going back to Rift.
And no, you cant have my stuff you beggy, whiney, escort flying romulan pansies! Wait, are there really any Romulan style escorts in game yet?
There hasn't been a dev/admin/mod post for almost two hours.
like they did for phisical svr changed for virtual one
they fired flesh & blood dev for virtual dev
since virtual svr are down every dev is having a BSOD
at least they dont age while in BSOD !

Well I don't mind if its down.....I am going to go play a different game.
Toss up between DC Universe and Borderlands 2....actualy I think ihave some free station cash to spend in DC. I was thinking about getting some zen....but go figure....doesn't look like that will happen tonight.
Power without Perception is Spiritually useless and therefore of no true value.
Once again we wait for answers which in fact were not going to get I do have a question how many monkeys does it take to sort out a simple issues , O well back to annoyeeing the wife i guess thanks STO for your on going support :cool:...
Well guess I wont be getting the last part to my prototype remen set tonight. Rather then waisting more of my life reading the forums, im gonna play dc universe or need for speed world and HOPE this is running tomorrow. Dont know bout yall but its 11:06 pm here and I wanna game befor I go to bed.
and we are now down longer than we were for the patch the undobulty caused this.
Everywhere I look, people are screaming about how bad Cryptic is.
What's my position?
That people should know what they're screaming about!
(paraphrased from "The Newsroom)
umm...that's because it's his job..."Community Manger" right, involves communicating with the community? hence, telling us what's going on
Try reading the context to which my statement was made...
Or even better, look at what I was replying to..
Because all you did was reiterate my point. but ummmm okay ... TY for backing me up..

You forgot to mention, you don't get a response to tickets in game...its through e-mail...go figure
Just tried to get in myself for the first time today at 8pm pacific, June 13.
I launch the game and get the "Connecting to login server" but after a minute I get a "The login server cannot be reached at this time" or something. :mad:
The trouble is if they did have a countdown for server crashes there would be a CONSTANT countdown...lol
ROFL, yeah. I can picture that in my head.
Server crash in 3....2....1.....3.....2....1.....2....1.....1.....1.....1.....1.....1....1 (repeat to infinity)
Oh, and you have 29 days and 23 hours and 58 minutes to reply to this before you get a warning from the mods for replying to old threads, so get it while it's hot!

Will a shirt that says "Eat Me First" work for you?
