Wow, they're giving us a LOT of marks on this one! With the usual bonus from Fleet mark Boost we've also got the bonus mark weekend starting in the afternoon of 9/4. I think it'll be 1200 fleet marks if you take the 250 as fleet marks too.
Seriously! It's not as fun when you can't even see your own weapons firing.
Star buying more/ new servers now.
I'll tell you when to stop.
Long long long long long long long long time issue with the Cryptic Engine. It simply can't render that many effects (shields, weapons, etc etc) at once or else it starts dropping them randomly.
Bug/limitation since launch. And this affects all three of Cryptic's games.

Yup, but the case of STO is really terrible. One of the things a lot of people loves about this game is to see all those effects in space that makes good shows and it gives you the feeling that you are doing something at least. If we dont have that.. why the hell should people keep playing? is not the whole point of the game to "enjoy" space fights with all those effects, and the effects of our fancy new engines and seeing those loving photon torpedoes traveling throug space? if peole is not playing for this, i wondering why are they playing...

Oh I completely agree. It really sucks that this happens and I wish it wouldn't.
I just don't expect it to be fixed because of how core the 'bug' is.

Actually, once you are in the middle of the fight, you can just sit down and watch the other players struggle with the fog and the "wondering where are my weapons" mode. That is what i do when the black myst appear (sometimes for almost 1 minute), or when im really tired of not seeing anything at all in the screen, i also stop firing and i just watch the show. Sorry but it makes me mad to play like this lol, not being able to see anything at all. So if i am not enjoying it, i just sit down and i do other things, like to collect assignments lol.

If I remember your previous posts about rendering "issues" correctly, you never turn down your graphics settings for any reason do you?

I play at "medium" settings talking about graphic effects quality. I hate doing that, but i am not going to change it everytime i need to , its stupid.
And second, this is not about "i have the possibility to lower my graphic settings so why i dont do that?", its a complete shame that a 4-5 years old game cant be played at maximum settings just because it is using an obsolete engine and a wrong decision by using an engine that if it cant hold the effects on the screen it will just disable em. Thats stupid. Specially in a game like this.

And what is it matter how old is my computer??? dont tell me you are one of those who actually still dont know that this is a problem of the game engine, that it doesnt matter what computer do you have.. lol.
Always the same story.. but if you feel nice, i will tell you that i have the best computer of the world. And it is 1 month old. Happy? xD.
I've come to the understanding that the disappearing visual graphics is NOT related in any way, shape, or form, to having the graphics be "over-taxed" by upping the settings. Even in side missions (non-CCE) my eject warp plasma will cut in and out depending on my camera angle, and this is with only 2-3 other ships on the screen. On GROUND MISSIONS, plasma damage from a thrown plasma grenade or some such will HURT me but I can't see it until I frantically move my camera around to see what the dealio is, only to realize I'm standing in a giant puddle of death.
There are serious bugs in terms of graphics display that have cropped up in 9 and 9.5 that simply weren't issues before. It has nothing to do with over-taxing a system and everything to do with poor coding choices creating the conflict in the first place.
Cryptic blaming the players' system is just their SOP even when they are known to have created the problems themselves, so don't buy into that for a second. They've pulled that card too many times when it has been proven not to be the case. They just are sloppy. Sloppy in coding, sloppy in that they NEVER QA anything, sloppy in that they ignore all bug testing and feedback on tribble, and sloppy that they then blame subsequent issues on players instead of themselves.

Yep. My computer is about a 1 1/2 old and was expensive as **** at the time and can still run anything on max settings with zero issues except STO. The graphic issues in this game started right around Dino time and have never been fixed. If my system didn't change then it must be the game.
So I don't play every day. Sometimes I'm traveling for work, and it can be frustrating to partially complete the 14 day mission. Is it possible, next time one of these events rolls around, to have the smaller, less rewarding, daily mission be available to play throughout the entire event regardless of whether we've completed the 14 day one or not? I'm sitting on 4 shards on a character who just completed the last 14 day mission and can't do anything with them since I can't complete the current 14 day mission. I'll shove em in a bank for now, but it'd be nice to just do a daily instead.
Just a heads up as i found i could not claim my last crystal on the event my inventory was fine and no overflowbag what i did have was a full DOFF register and that was preventing me claiming the final goal.

I had that issue as well, just mail some of your doffs to yourself. Can claim them on other characters or leave them in the mail until you have room through upgrades and such.
There has been some extreme lag this weekend in STO preventing me and many others from getting our Crystal Shards for the project due to not being able to do a thing except die in the mission. Is there going to be an extension or something to compensate for this? I'm quite... annoyed (gently put) by this since I was going to be able to collect my project tonight but due to the lag Tuesday is the earliest I'll be able to.
anyone having a problem with not receiving shards? I have space in inventory and my DOFFs aren't full. I didn't get one yesterday so i thought the 20hrs weren't up, but didn't get one today either?
well i was on track for 10+ toons, now about 9 toons are left, 4 of which have be finished today. unfortunately had a isp network fault line that kept me out all day yesterday and most of today, so missed out on that day but its not exactly as if it was important, such as it is dull to complete.
T6 Miranda Hero Ship FTW. Been around since Dec 2010 on STO and bought LTS in Apr 2013 for STO.
I'm only a few shards away from being able to do the project, but the event is almost over and things in that horrid realm we call real life prevent me from being able to complete it. I am sadface.
Sooooo.......... when will the event roll around next. I'm curious.
For best results, read my posts in the voice of Sheogorath, Daedric Prince of Madness.

i got the 14th shard, turned it in and got everything except the rare holo doff, not finding it in my roster and no overflow bag, not sure what happened to it or do I need to go somewhere else to claim it?:rolleyes:

Yes, at least 5 empty slots. but I suspect as I learned on another thread, that the quest I was working towards was the event I started last year, not this year, so I am not sure if the Rare DOFF was part of that package. At least if this event hold true in the future, I can start this event now and work towards this reward next time.

Quantity of servers has nothing to do with the problem lol. :P
But it is really frustrating to play this event in "wondering" mode.

Every 20 hours; so, in theory, you could technically get 2 per day every now and then.
Thank You.
Let me fix that for you, Every 20 hours, so, in theory, you could technically get 2 per day on average once a week (24/4=6 days).
