    Internal metrics show that someone is enjoying the game.

    Therefore they have to increase the grindyness of the grinds before OTHER PEOPLE start enjoying the game too.

    :D

    I blame the Borg...

    But then again, I blame the Borg for everything. Such as bad weather, hot weather, rainy weather, pebbles in the shoes... :eek:

    Server maintenance can only mean one thing... time for a shower. (I only shower when Cryptic does maintenance.)

    You shower at least once a day then? Good man

    There's always stuff happening around the time of new expansions, these have happened before, nothing new. Perfect to watch a movie meantime. JJ or Wrath of Khan anyone? :)

    And socialization... with other human beings. Not on the internet.

    Oh god, the horror of it all!

    I heard it was a game bug that had a positive effect for players and Cryptic has to fix those ASAP.

    People enjoying the game are no longer up to Cryptic's standard of quality, so it had to be removed to improve the over-all experience of the game itself.

    Hailing all Captains!

    We will be performing an emergency maintenance on our servers.

    Current ETA is to begin at 6PM PDT.

    We estimate this will last until aprox 8PM PDT.

    We will update this thread with more info.

    Sorry for the inconvenience everyone!

    Coolant leak!! I can't shut it down! I estimate two minutes until a warp core breach! There's nothing I can do! Dramatically rolls under the blast door just as it closes shut on the warp core room.

    yay for you... /thumbs down

    love logging in, getting half way through all my characters in my quest to get all of them through the gd ce event, to now have an even larger window put into it... everytime I log in, cryptic finds some new, usually un needed, or completely off the map way to aggravate me..

    Any clues or hints as to WHY you needed to unplug everyone with only 30 minutes notice...

    Also why is holodeck down at the same time as tribble...

    Ugh... now I have to go outside... where there's bugs and sunlight.

    Thanks, Cryptic.

    With the only difference being no sunlight in the game. :P

    Apparently, so much that every Cryptic game had the same issue and went down as well. :P

    It would find a way. It may be a long, arduous, burden of unparalleled magnitude. But it would go on... one day at a time...

    Pro-Tip: Don't run your toons through CE when the server is going down.

    My best guess is that since this is happening outside of their normal maintenance schedule, it's likely to address a serious security issue. Furthermore, they wisely aren't advertising exactly what it is that they're patching, so that someone doesn't take advantage of the vulnerability before they have a chance to mitigate it.

    Ah, so close. We had the CE down to 10% health when we got discoed.
