    Good luck. Poke around under the rug where they swept that one and see what you can find.

    From the notes I've been reading, it's only a server restart and hardware check today.

    Server restart and hardware check??

    There are always a ton of stealth nerfs that they never mention and do not want to discuss. The most annoying one was probably when they brought out the new kit system. I remember my old MK X engineering kit hitting really hard. After the new system came out that old kit was nerfed like crazy. I used to be able to go to Defera, law down some mines and take out 4 borg. Post nerf, only two of them would die so I was having to finish off the others. Now that I have the newer version of the kit (MK XII) I am doing the same damage I was doing before with my old MK X. This was a power creep nerf.

    I think they never mention things like this because they know players are going to make noise about it. I wish they would at least own up to it.

    Will you marry me? :D

    OK I'll settle for a pizza and a movie. ;)

    All this talk of secretive "stealth nerfs" just makes me think of that Michael Jackson eating Popcorn GIF made from the Thriller music video.

    I am making a mental note here for a the devs and maintenance guys who read this

    Take the time you have serious and dont rush on the job and make sure to 3x check everything before you flip the switch back
    Clean out any old and unused code/cache/data and everything else, upgrade what can be upgraded in the time you have (hardware wise)

    And as always: The work is done when it is done (dont rush like EA and DICE with Battlefield 4)

    Ah yes, that'd be nice too. The mission's still making me think I forgot about something as it stays in my list. And I still don't dare dropping it.
    TOIVA, Toi Vaxx, Toia Vix, Toveg, T'vritha, To Vrax: Bring in the Allegiance class.
    Toi'Va, Ti'vath, Toivia, Ty'Vris, Tia Vex, Toi'Virth: Add Tier 6 KDF Carrier and Raider.
    Tae'Va, T'Vaya, To'Var, Tevra, T'Vira, To'Vrak: Give us Asylums for Romulans.

    Don't make ARC mandatory! Keep it optional only!

    And don't forget to check the nut behind the wheel. Might need to be tightened. :)

    If this involved transforming the fed/kdf doff that Romulans earned during the JOE then I would agree, after all, I would like to have a Romulan specific doff as well. But an "in addition to" would be unfair to Federation and Klingon players...just saying.

    On another note, I certainly wouldn't mind a stealth patch insertion to fix the problem of no favors earned when 2 players find a statue at the same time during the Horga'hn Hunt.

    Will my old characters appear once the Maintenance is over ?

    I'm a returning player, and while I have to admit its been over a year since I played, a character wipe isn't going to encourage me to spend money on STO again.

    Just asking

    Your characters should still be there, unless someone else accessed your account without your knowledge and erased everything.

    I believe the 'join date' displayed is for the forums, not the game itself. Might want to do some research before spewing accusations.

    And 'lol' is not punctuation...

    And here's another thing - the join date on these forums means nothing.

    The join date displayed on the forums is when they joined the forums, not when they joined the game.

    Though these days, with f2p, that's almost one in the same.

    But it is possible to join the game, play for months or even years and never actually sign up for the forums until 'today'.

    Just because you think it's a scam, doesn't make it one.
    Make a man a fire and keep him warm for the day.

    Set a man on fire and keep him warm for the rest of his life.

    or he created a new account!

    anyway i dont see the problem with the question he sked. historically as some ppl have said certain things in these "non patch" maintainence sessions usually mean some nerfin or serverside cleanup of old data "sometimes including inactive accounts"

    this usually occurs on tribble "wich i can understand", but it has been known to occur on holodeck also..

    the more realistic question the community manager should be answering is this... "why have a regular downtime of the game if theres no patch or "changes" we should be aware of..

    and before anyone answers me on this with something keep this in mind.. i PAY a subscription to this game and as such i really should know why my play time is offline with out any reasonably explanation.. after all I and others PAY THEM! server clean up or patch updates i understand.. hell even a simple reboot and restart for length of days the servers have been up and running i would totally be understanding about.. but to be told NOTHING.. isnt a good idea as it spawns speculation and rumour..


    so cryptic.. "why is there the usual maintainence if nothings being done? and 2ndly if something is being done .. why are we as your customers not being given a notice this time?"

    now those are the questions ppl should have asked.

    have a good one folks

    I'm an old player. i'm sitting here holding a box which says Startrek online says Exclusive T-shirt Map Postcards in-game uniforms 30days free game time.

    Now I haven't played since this Arc thing came along or it went to free play and I was wondering whether there had been a wipe when the Romulan module arrived or basically what had happened.



    Still its in the hands of support now, and they'll decide what happens next, not some, big mouth that hasn't any of the facts, just a log in date of a forum i have used for the first time.
