4 years in and still haven't mastered the subtle art of release management as this happens literally every major release, without fail. It's remarkable really, quite the achievement to do the same things, have them go pear-shaped the same way, and continue to do them the same way anyway.
Honestly, name an MMO that doesn't (on average) experience a major issue on a big patch day.

Captains, we really need you stay constructive here the crashes are not due to QA, not content, not the servers. We're experiencing a network issue. We'll continue doing out best but we need your support in terms of staying constructive. We're just as frustrated but this and we thank you for sticking with us.
As Smirk said, we'll update you once we have more details to share.
Cheers,
Brandon =/\=
But I can log into Tribble, Champions and Neverwinter... I'm curious how you can have a network issue but it only affects one shard.
Not trolling, genuinely curious.

Yeah, I said goodnight myself when the servers went down again.

As I asked:
Do you guys know what QA Testing (Quality Assurance Testing) is, and if so, why do you not utilize it?
I would probably have put it somewhat less sarcastically my own self, but the fact remains that increased network traffic is to be expected on a new release. At that point poking fun with stories about hamsters cross-breeding with what-not (that entire thing was a bit TMI) really does not adequately deflect the responsibility of Cryptic for anticipating such issue on a new release.
well this is goodnight number 2 for me LOL, the first time was maybe 6 hours ago, but for sure now everyone at cryptic has gone to bed so goodnight captains
Well, I have to say this, I don't think we are necessarilly being lied to....only receiving an omission of information lol. Honestly, I started this game when the 2nd Anni was in effect and was somewhat traumatized by the crashes then. Now, not so much a big deal. I mean it is frustrating and I do want to play as I have many characters to get the gear for...but I DO have a life. Raging won't help, but maybe if we ask them if they are honestly giving as ALL of the information they have? If they are omitting information perhaps a nicer approach would encourage them to share it rather than verbally abusing them.

Erm........ all of em??
And about the servers.. the average is 20/80 against STO, sorry, thats the truth. Still, i cant read people trying to defend cryptic at all costs, its really frustrating lol.
That's one way to spend free time, I guess. I haven't heard "Yo Mama" jokes in quite awhile. I do still remember the two "Mommy Mommy" jokes (see below). Dreadful, I know. My humor has been called "interesting" more than once.
Kid: "But, Mommy Mommy, I don't want to go to Europe!"
Mom: "Shut up and keep swimming."
Kid: "But, Mommy Mommy, I don't want to go around in circles!"
Mom: "Shut up or I'll nail your other foot to the floor."
LOL if this was any other game I'd be surprised. Wanted to try the new FE (even though the FE's these days are only just tools to force you to play some new ship and market it to you, Ambassador and Obelisk anyone?)
In my 2 years playing TOR I don't think I've been kicked or had the server I play on go down once.
thanks for the laugh, next time see what I was commenting on, troll fail for you
Me: "Stay reasonable"
You: "TROLL!"
Even if people were able to get this done in short order there is absolutely nothing to say against them. Again, right place right time, so even if they try to flaunt it the only possible point to take away from their posturing is just that circumstances vary. You should be adult enough to see this. If not, go relax. The servers will come back online regardless of how much or little you post here.

well time to be patient and hope they can also fix all the FE's problems but I think its also do to such a higher volumes of players at one time for the anniversary and the new FE that were getting this they gotta let the hamsters rest every once in a while, besides if this keeps up we might get another free item to make up for all the down time.
um brandon if you see this i was just wonder if posible before u send patches if you could tell us why it keeps crashing. i heard someone say something about animation. but maybe if we new what was haPPening not just we looking into it we could understand better.
not trying to be hard TRIBBLE just curious thats all he he he might make me feel smarter.
