+Anyone else have a lot of DOFF assignments stuck in "finishing"?

After today;s patch my KDF seems to have 15 DOFF assignments stuck in "finishing", does anyone else have this problem and will it eventually clear?

My Rom and Fed seem to be OK (so far).

I guess my KDF Doffs are off celebrating for the weekend?





(I would contact a GM about this, but the last three times I contacted a GM I received an email a couple of days later with a boiler plate telling me the obvious and that if I think its a bug I should report it....which means it would get fixed...next update earliest? So I generally don't bother anymore. I love STO but the GM help seems to be tailored to the least common denominator pointing you to the wiki or forums. They apparently have no ability at all to handle any character/mission/rewards problems...)

    Luckily I haven't been afflicted by the stuck bug that many seem to be getting. I just have to wait 5 minutes for my assignments to actually finish when I log in.

    KDF Tac Orion - 14 Assignments (including Sick Bay and Challenge) and all four R&D slots stuck since 8/8. The other 7 Assignment slots are fine, add and complete. No difficulties with any of my other 7 characters, including a Klingon Tac. Now they have severe lag in completing Assignments and R&D but no stuck stuff.

    In my experience, the entire UI throughout the whole game is significantly more clumsy and slower to respond than it was when the game went F2P.

    Pre and post patch, one of my KDF toons has a bunch of normal doff missions frozen and all the R+D slots.

    The patch has done nothing to resolve this other than remove the timer.

    Incorrect.. removing the timer has nothing to do with it. All of my missions are stuck not completing and you can't abort them, which tells me they want to complete but somethings holding them back. It's a very small step forward at least.

    There's something really bad going on me thinks!

    Shouldn't this be in the Bug section of the fourms?

    Yeah I wasnt saying removing the timer was much of a positive contribution.

    More a sort of shuffling the deck chairs on the titanic sort of thing.

    Can we get some kind of notice that this issue is being worked on by the devs? Here it is CXP weekend and most of my doffs are stuck in 18 "finishing" assignments and 2 R&D projects....

    <Starting to regret that LTS>...:(

    I'm guessing the 5 second interval thing is by design - Neverwinter does the exact same thing with their DOff-like stuffs.

    Yeah, except 2 patches ago it was not broken at all, and now it is.

    I've always had assignments roll into the negative, but only for a few seconds each, maybe a minute rarely.

    After these updates, they all go negative for long stretches relative to how long I've been offline. When I log back in, they slowly complete themselves.

    I've never had a DoFF assignment get stuck and not finish at all.

    I had 8 stuck, but filled the other slots for some overnights. Was hoping that when those finished they would trigger the other ones to do something, but noooOOOOooooo.. still stuck QQ

    Also no budging on the R&D..

    "Resolved an issue causing a negative time amount will appear when a Duty Officer mission is completing."

    See, they fixed exactly what they said they fixed - and nothing else.

    on 3 of them R&D is completely stuck
    on 2 of them more than half of the doff slots are stuck
    on 1 R&D AND 21 doff slots are completely stuck
    all this since 5 days (!)

    ..and I was soooo much looking forward to the cxp weekend..
    I had been preparing since weeks, getting the right boosts
    and such...at least a word an the forums from the devs or
    mods would have been nice..:(

    Having the same problem now with one toon.

    That ends his CXP weekend.

    Thanks for the nothing Cryptic!!!

    Two of my KDF toons now have most or all of their Doff missions frozen.

    It appears to be a progressive issue as the freeze didn't happen at the same time.

    One toon lost slots five days ago, the other yesterday.

    I'm dreading logging on to discover the other two KDF toons have suffered the same fate.

    Bad enough the bug exists, but for it to be allowed to persist over a junior officer weekend, with no acknowledgement of the issue (its not even on the known issues list for the last patch) is just so.......rude, as much as anything.

    Folks, we have a bug reporting section for a reason.

    Search it, read the stickies and use it :)
