Just awesome. The wait continues.
To be fair, the bug fix they do have is one I've been waiting on for around two years now. So let's hope it actually works!
Better late then never I suppose. LoL.
Thank you for fixing it finally.
HALLELUJAH! F[REDACTED]G FINALLY!
One can only hope it's the former and not the later, prioritizing player effects while culling others with distance from the player as a reference is by far the preferred method, unfortunately we've already seen them too often try to make a silk purse out of a sows ear with this old engine. I'm just glad to see them finally taking a stab at this after all this time, it makes me hope that they might actually get around to some of the other problems in the game.
*clears throat*
DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*wheezes and gasps for breath*
OK, that's enough for one thread.
Only a month until Delta Rising...the anticipation is driving me nuts!
Edit to add: Also, the lag on New Romulus is getting obscene; it's always been slow, but it's getting to the point where I'm being killed by bugs while wearing a full elite MACO set.
I never had the issue in the CE event prior to season 9 and that was with graphics settings on high.
+1 this
Patch says FX from players ship only though, so I guess other environmental effects not directly attached to my ship are still going to be invisible when it gets busy?
Not sure how many times I need to say it, so I'll just keep bringing it up each time the Known Issues are posted.
Unless Mr. Hamilton or someone wants to try to convince me how it's working as intended, despite the fact Starbases and Fleet Holdings are non-combat areas.
Hopefully this fixes it.
The only problem with fix (1) is that it would possibly create invisible borg super-torps again.... well okay not again as the problem still exists but it's a lot better then what it once was.
Resolved an issue which was causing FX coming from players ship to drop out when too much activity was occurring on screen.
As in when people actually log in these days to do stuff that isn't grind related...
I read on the wiki that mission 1 of ghosts of the jem hadar was mistakenly removed. Does anyone know if it's been fixed or is it still missing?
"With the first link, the chain is forged. The first speech censured, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains us all irrevocably."
i think that fix will be released in season 10 [but work properly in season 15 lol]
Seriously, still no fix for the R&D, as promised several patches ago? Mail STILL flashing or, for some, not working properly? NO ability to switch traits on a player's bridge? No fix for the host of "known issues" that have remained "known" patch after patch for months now?
Guys: you have to take care of the baby in the crib before you should go painting the room for the one "in the oven!"
Focus on making the game better by focusing on what you already HAVE, the player base you HAVE, the problems you HAVE, before introducing something new for once...

"Why we can't give the Server Hamsters a break", by worffan101. Directed by Online Stupidity, Copious Forum Rage, and Human Nature.
Scene: A maintenance thread on the STO forums.
Trendy: Hey, everyone, we're bringing the servers down tomorrow for a patch. Notes here (link).
Player 1: Oh, cool, you finally fixed that annoying bug. Nice job!
Player 2: WAAAAAAAAAARGLEBAAAARGLE Y U NO FIX THE BUG I HATE AND WASTE TIME ON OTHER BUG??? U SUCK CRAPTIC!!!
Player 3: Player 2, go whine to your momma.
Player 4 (longtime active forum resident): Hey, Trendy! Hope you have some bacon tomorrow!
Iconians: Not bad. I've noticed these bugs that you may or may not be aware of, as well. *lists a few bugs*
Player 2: U SUCK PLAYER 2 UR DPS IS WEAK AND CRAPTIC SUX NOT GETTIN ANY MORE OF MY MONEY!!!!!!!111!!!1!!
worffan101: Oh, patch notes. Nice. Looks generally good.
Player 5: wer is esd?
Player 3 (now actively trolling): LOOOOOL Player 2, ur dps is the weak one.
Player 6: Well, these patch notes are nice in that they fix a long-running bug, but I'm going to ignore that to rant about my personal pet bugs that aren't fixed yet and to complain about features I don't like.
Player 5: y is game no workin?
Player 7: Any chance we can get the DOFF UI reverted, and the crafting bugs fixed?
Player 2: U SUCK PLAYER 3 I REPORTED U HA HA.
Trendy: Maintenance has started! I'll post again when it's finished!
Player 8: Whee! Buckle up for the ride, boys and girls!
worffan101: Morning, Trendy! Having a good bacony breakfast, I hope? Hail Bacon!
Player 5: i cnt log in to game wut is goin on/
Player 3: Clearly Player 2 is compensating for his lack of DPS in-game and sports equipment in RL.
Player 4: Alright! Just finished my last CC with seconds to spare!
Player 1: Aaw, man, had Donatra down to 50% health in a PUG when maintenance started!
Player 2: *gets hit with Modhammer by Askray*
Trendy: Yes, I'm having some bacon. Not sure where it came from, though...
Player 8: ...did you turn the Server Hamsters into bacon, Trendy?
Trendy: I will neither confirm nor deny that possibility.
worffan101, Player 4, and Player 1: LOL!!!! So funny, Trendy!
Player 5: i wnat bugsip wer cn i get buship?
Player 3: LOL Player 2, ur dps is pants and you can't tank for s**t.
worffan101 and player 1: Ah, patching now...
Player 2: *hit with Modhammer again*
Player 6: When are the bugs I care about going to be fixed? Why are you wasting time with bugs that only affect other people? I'm a paying customer (even though I have refused to buy anything more from you because rage at DR), I should be given more importance than everyone else in the game!
Player 4 and worffan101: Patched! Now to wait for the hamsters to reengage...
Player 1: Back up.
Player 5: y is no one help me get bugsip?
Player 3: *generic insult belittling Player 2's masculinity and parentage*
Player 4: Back on.
worffan101: In. Let's rock!
Trendy: Servers are back up, see you in-game!
Off-screen, the (new) Server Hamsters start running.
Player 2: U SUCK PLAYER 3 I VAPE U IN-GAME!!!!!!
Player 6: Hey, I have these bugs I want addressed! I bought a small amount of ZEN 3 years ago, that makes me your most valuable customer!
Player 5: wen cn i get back i to game?
*thread is closed because maintenance is done*
Hopefully.
