That's a bit presumptuous, no? :P
You know what posts are incoming!
And you guys deserve some thanks from up the food chain for your patience.
Didn't expect anything with nothing getting pushed to Redshirt, mind you.

Patience and understanding.... running a little low on both....
I think that the team dev are enough occupied with the season 9.5 to correct a bug which seems to be can important for them... And nevertheless, certain players want to stop playing has cause of these graphic bug.
A notable one is the Colour Palettes on the Risian Flower Accents. One of the Devs, has mentioned that they believe they have a fix for this ...
Great, except the SE is going to be over BEFORE the patch/fix is implemented ... Great Job Cryptic.
I understand they are gearing up for 9.5, and concentrating on getting the Crafting system out of it's currently appalling, bug riddled state before 9.5 goes live, but surely there are one or two Team Members who could rustle up a patch for CURRENT issues?
I'm not usually one to make a fuss about changes but I am concerned when the changes aren't even disclosed.
this issue has been in game for longer than 9.0 the whole invisible Borg torp is a example of this same issue it is the game engine giving priority to certain things in game first the frame rate drop as you say is the perfect example when I get into a big battle with lots of weapons fire my FPS drop to the point where it does not look like my weapons are firing but I can see the damage numbers coming off the target I have but it is noot game breaking to me as I am still moving and shooting so I have no problem with this issue unlike others. I have looked at the post others have put and seen there system specs and some are running higher ram than me and saying there FPS is down on less of a maps than certain big battle maps i.e CC or Mirror invasion and the new battles zone that is where I see the FPS drop.
Just queue them up and wait an extra day. It won't kill you.
Er, you know they're 20hr CDs and not 24hr CDs...right?
Eh, boots for Liberated Borg Romulans have been bugged since the launch of Legacy of Romulus, and there's still no incoming fix for those either.
Better check the patch notes for the Tribble Server first.
If the patch on the tribble Serever doesn't work than they need time to repair it.
And if something crashes the tribble server it will crashes the normal servers.
have this seen few times in the 3 years of play.
Actually it's the third iirc

Would really like patch notes. I mean if it's secret hush hush security stuff the least they could do is 'routine maintenance' lol.
Nothing new for Cryptic, everything you quoted has been here since the game first came out.
You either like it or move on, shame, buts thats how they roll...
It's at an inconvenient time for some people - heck, it's not an ideal time for me, I'd far rather they did it twelve hours earlier, when I'm tucked up in bed asleep. But it's always going to be at an inconvenient time for somebody - that's unavoidable.
Personally, I'm kind of relieved that the game does get regular maintenance downtime. The alternative would be for the servers to stagger on, getting steadily slower and less stable, until the whole game goes down in a massive crash. Which would be a darn sight more inconvenient than the current system.
(Yes, yes, I know we live in a world where some online systems can have 24/7/365 availability and 99.999% uptime. Think about how much that costs, and what STO's revenue is like.)
Lol, yeah, and they have the same importance.. lol. Seriously.. i really dont care too much about weekly patches anymore. But if cryptic does not resolve this graphic issue, the next expansion will be a total chaos. But it looks like they dont care about anything anymore lol.
Do you realize this is a MMORPG, right?? ANY mmorpg have weekly maintenances. Some of em even 2 maintenances in a week (of course, those are to fix bugs, something cryptic never does). Cryptic is not doing anything different than any other dozens of games out there, with the exception of ignoring all the bugs of the game lol. Specially those that are game- breakers. I wonder, will someday people like you wake up?? hmm, i lost hope long time ago.
I thought that you'd have a 4th of July Console for LTS..
Oh wait! We already have one!
You quoted "Personally, I'm kind of relieved that the game does get regular maintenance downtime". And i tell you again, you should not be feeling "relieved" because this is something cryptic needs to do and any company does. It is just their job. Feel "relieved" when cryptic makes bug fixing (real, not fake.. ) or improving the game. That will be another story.
But for weekly maintenances??? it is not much sense to say that about weekly maintenances. Of course, you right, if we didnt have weekly maintenances, the game will be dead by now. Thats for sure. But not fixing bugs week after week is almost the same thing, killing the game.. so.

Morning, Trendy! How are things? Are the Cryptic Hamsters (tm) still alive?
The ones running on the f/x generator wheels are almost dead....
np. Interrupted 'Colisseum', but at least I reached the space part and will be easy to finish soon maintenance is finished. ... And here I am talking about missing content when you hardly have time to mingle in game and enjoy some of the content you keep going... but then again you probably work with it all day and by the end you're sick to death of seeing all those same pixels over and over. who knows. all the best anyways.
XD
You should see the ones running the random PUG AIs...those are atrocious. Sometimes they don't even shoot the Borg! They just sit around doing nothing, like they're actually players trying to leech or something...
