Don't forget the ones in Europe who will complain about Cryptic bringing the game down during their prime playing hours, and how they spend money on the game and shouldn't have to put up with downtime when it's most inconvenient for them.
If I ever run my own MMO, I'm going to put downtime right in the middle of US primetime and then count the ones in the US who will complain about NikkoJT Studios bringing the game down during their prime playing hours, and how they spend money on the game and shouldn't have to put up with downtime when it's most inconvenient for them.
I am NikkoJT, Foundry author and terrible player. Follow me!
There used to be a picture here, but they changed signatures and I can't be bothered to replace it.
Looks like I'm blocking the message board and deleting my links to it. I am NOT going to sit here and listen to the TRIBBLE that's going to come tomorrow.
What little I've seen of 9.5 hasn't impressed me either current stuff is equal to crafting or it's more power creep to a game that's so easy there's no clear reason why I need to grind more with no new content.
Threads like this only seem to highlight the tone of 9.5. Sure people will flock to try it and some will tackle it without much fuss all the way down to OMG I'm quitting/no touching it. We'll have the lockbox that will make it harder to tell how popular 9.5 is but really the vibe I'm picking up on isn't going to have me rushing to spend time in STO. I'll log in and touch base but that's going to be it.
With what feels like a rushed system and feedback ignored and people generally unimpressed or worse with the system it doesn't sound like 9.5 is going to be successful.

Yeah that self entitlement most gamer's have these days "I'm an american lifetime subscriber and how dare you interrupt my gameplay because it's all that matter's in my life!" I love it when companies do maintenance during our primetime hours, makes me laugh at the people jumping out of windows over a silly video game like it was important xD

Cryptic has downtime?
Don't look silly... Don't call it the "Z-Store/Zen Store"...
Judging by what I've seen of Thomas Marrone's colour guides for them, they look absolutely brilliant and I can't wait to own them and put those guides into practice!!!
They'll go down anyways.
The question is whether we will be able to fall back to the forums.
It's been a sound tactic since the campaign of running this shootfest started; it crashes, we fall back to the forums, regroup and make battle cries until we can return to the front in full force :P

I no longer do any Bug Hunting work for Cryptic. I may resume if a serious attempt to fix the game is made.
to be honest though, if there is a lot of backlash, it will be well deserved.. there is a boat load of issues that were reported through tribble testing, that have not even been looked at as far as we know.. and they are going to go classic cryptic and release it with the known bugs, issues, and weirdness lol...
don't make this about the whiners and complainers, make this about the lack of attention to any info passed on by us during the tribble tests...
And where is the announcement here on these fora to, you know, actually read?
Far be it for me to suggest that the community relations people do their job properly.......
Quite so. I don't know why don't they just delete the forum and the game webpage, they're obviously not up to Cryptic's "standards", plus it would save them valuable resources that could go into lockboxes, furthermore people won't get lost on the horrid new ARC infested website anymore.
It's not like they really use these venues anymore.

Why are people still harping on the whole "not up to standards" thing. Honestly they were terrible missions IMO and deserved to be axed. Cryptics new standards are honestly, pretty great, all you need to do is look at the last few missions. And IMO whats not up to standards are not the forums, it is the people in them who provide uncontructive feedback driving the Devs away. (nothing against you personally, i havent seen enough of your posts to make that judgement)

Oh I am, I might go and buy some popcorn for the occasion :P

Just looked at them on tribble, they look great!

Cryptic has downtime?
Those guides are available here btw: https://twitter.com/Cryptic_TtC/media
The colour guide for the captain's Odyssey uniform isn't there though, but that can be found here on the dev blog for the Odyssey uniforms: http://www.arcgames.com/en/games/star-trek-online/news/detail/6003273-odyssey-and-bortasqu%27-uniforms-coming-soon!
STO cannot into downtime.
This may come off as rude... That wasn't the intention:
Wha?
Just wanted to say that STO's downtimes seldom interfere with me playing, and I am German.
Mixed that with a bit polandball humor. Did backfire. Sorry.
Please stop, I am already dead.
the problem is they share servers. if STO blows up Neverwinter usually goes with it.
a tribble minigun?
They'll go down anyways.
