    I'm European, and while I wish we can have updates without downtime (just like everyone), it's not possible. The update is officially over at 6pm GMT +1. Which is fine IMO.

    I still remember SWTOR downtime around 8pm. That was a real problem.

    I am wondering about the boxes from the Summer Event on Risa.

    It contains that you have to choose Romulan, Fleet, Nukara and Omega marks.

    Are their any possibilites to upgrade this boxes that I can choose the Dyson marks?

    I have not using them since the event until now and it would be nice to use the boxes now and choose the dyson marks for the new reputation projects.

    I accept this time for maintenance :)

    It is just an hypothetical question from my timezone. It really is small inconvenience and i can go out, watch TV, cook something or listen some music.

    Meanwhile

    Our Season 8 launch maintenance has begun! We expect downtime to last for 4 hours and I will post again once it is complete. Thanks!

    Cheers,

    Did anyone else notice that the launcher had the incorrect UTC times on it for the maintenance period? 6AM PST = 2PM UTC, not 3PM... I was hoping I had another hour to sort out doff assignments to run through the update.

    The team that manages that updated it -- apologies for the conversion error.

    Cheers,

    I just wanted to say, that thanks to having tribble , the patch today was very small, and only took literally 2 minutes for me. So if a person is not yet signed up to tribble I strongly suggest doing so.

    I just hope that this patch being the same as Tribble's doesn't imply that no bugs on testing s8 were fixed. :/

    I have a feeling internal quality control has been improved -- I didn't see that many game-breaking bugs when I was on Tribble this time... Unlike other seasons and FEs.

    LoR and SoI went fairly well, I'm hoping this does as well.

    If not, I have 10,000 downtime jokes ready and waiting.

    Sorry, the PVP crowd called HAX and demanded a nerf. After all 1.5% of the playerbase SHOULD rightly dictate game-balance for the rest of us. :rolleyes: ;)

    Query; I have a healthy number of unopened mark reward boxes collected subsequent to instances of 'Elachi Alert'. Will these contain the option of Dyson Marks when I open them later?

    I'd seriously doubt it as theres no tagging of what box came from where...plus retroactive rewards would put a fair few rep grinders noses out of joint

    That's only awarded to 800 year-veterans and only Yoda lives long enough. Are you Yoda? :D

    Now they just need to add in an orbital torpedo barrage skill.

    Actually, for that, I wish they'd make the energy type of the strike be whatever is the predominate energy weapon type is, on your current ship. Polaron or A/P strike anyone hehe!

    I thought the same thing. It doesn't make sense for my orbital strike to be phaser when my DHEC is armed with polarons lol. They should at least adapt the color of your strike.

    Easy way to do that: let the program scan for the weapon type in one particular slot and adapt your orbital strike accordingly. If you use only one energy type on your ship it will be the same one.

    I want a blue beam so I can make a Kane character and raise his hands to the sky as the beam sweeps over him...

    Hi. Hope Cryptic has not installed the error again, we already had at 3:10:13. and we do not get back into the game.

    but unfortunately I had to admit that I once again patch directly Cryptic error have.
