Crystalline Catastrophe Extention Request

This is concerning the current event and the unfortunately places school holidays in Scotland. I know that the Crystalline Catastrophe event has already been extended but there was an unfortunate side effect of this because the October week for Scottish schools was the same week. Many Scottish parents take their children on holiday to places where they cannot access the game meaning that they were cut off from getting their rewards during this event. after I play tomorrow (Monday 21st October) I will be one shard short but because of the October week, I will be unable, like many players across Scotland, to get my dilithium and other rewards. I am asking for the event to be extended 1 week more to allow for the Scottish players to get the rewards that the rest of the world got because their school holidays fell at a different time.

If the event was to of been extended branflakes would of announced it after the graphic card patch issue was resolved. As there has been no announcement regarding an extention of the event it will end as posted (21st). The event was already extended to that date. STO can not make allowances for school holidays (or any other holidays) for individual countries.
Keep your shards safe until the next time the event is run. You can however purchase the DOFF from the exchange, but unfortunately I can not state a cost.
I do empathise with you on this, the turn of events was unfortunate.
Just so you know I am a fellow Scot, but I was uneffected by the patch issue at the beginning of the month.
Not a matter of fault.
There were 26 days in total for the event. 26 - 14 = 12 extra days. You had 12 extra days beyond the initial 14 to get your shards.
Sorry. That's plenty of time.

Not really a conflict. They could easily extend it until the next regular maintenance (October 24th), since the episode is supposed to be out on the 31st.

Why are you not rejoicing?
I mean its up to the Cryptic, but it cost you nothing and as such its none of you business if they do so, so I can only conclude you argue against it for shear mean spiritedness.
I'm soooo tired for all the Trolls on this forum, grow up and stop it already.
As I said I've already completed so I have no horse in this race, I just don't like seeing people be nasty and selfish to others, we should all act with compassion to each other instead.
They make a wondrous mess of things. Brave amateurs, they do their part.
Like you I have no horse in this race, but really, why does it have to be the people disagreeing with the OP that have to be the trolls. 26 days, 26, in order to get 14 days of playtime, and people want more. And this is the second time this one has been done in less then a year. So why does it have to be extended? I agree, I had hoped it be done earlier, but you know, it was Cryptic being nice for once, extending it for more days. And yet people still aren't happy and want more.
At what point is it the people disagreeing being trolls, and the person who literally didn't get 14 days of gametime in 26 days just being a greedy troll?
There are people who have lives as well who can't get on until half of America is on so they can't log on because they have slow internet or a rubbish computer. Most people in my school, scout group and swimming club also go on holiday during the week we get off school.
I haven't got the first lot and I didn't get it last time either if you don't mind.
2 I haven't got my first batch of rewards
3 I didn't get them last time.
I like the way you think, besides I couldn't get on the game for internet and graphics reasons because the music played on some days with no graphics and others it didn't load.
If they can't log on then why are they worrying about rewards for an online game. If I had those kind of issues (which I do occasionally) I would be more worried about actually playing the game than some random event that was already extended.
Plus the life argument is invalid. A lot of people with lives managed to do it, on one toon it only takes about 15 minutes per day. If you don't have that kind of time, then see my above point.

The responses, less so. As they usually are.
Anyway the main reward is gone. The secondary reward that replaced it is generous. Thx Cryptic!
As soon as the cooldown ended, I played again and received another shard. I did this 4 times for my Fed and Klingon characters each before quitting around 10:30am.
Was this a bug or did they do this a a final day bonus?
Here's why your being a troll. First off none of your arguements matter because none of it effects you or takes away from you in the slightest, so 26 days or a thousand its not irelsvant in regards to your trolling.
2ndly you haven't explained how this negatively impacts you or others, therefor its none of your business.
So yes your being a troll.
Troll is a word tossed around too often. He made a valid argument, just because you don't agree with it doesn't make him a troll. If anything, name calling doesn't help your argument.

this is coming from a guy whose name is Omegaphallic.
It negatively impacts others because the cue for the other mission are way down so it takes much longer to get a team together. I've had to abandon a few because I it was just taking far too long.

Yep. Normally I regulary do the Gorn Minefield and The Big Dig 'fleet' action and sometimes Klingon Scout Force when i have the daily for those. With this Crystalline Entity Event going on the only one i could really get started was Gorn Minefield as that one is just a 5 player one. The others have practally died during this event.
