Trapped in ESD

edited October 2014 in PC Gameplay Bug Reports
both myself and another decide to make 2 alts. we skipped the tutorial (done so many times)
and the moment we were free we decided to beam to ESD and go to the tailer and spend some EC and lobi Getting the look of our alts just right.

and we find later we cant beam to ship. so we go to transporter pads and cant get to the academy either. so we got inventive.

first, bug reports. waited... no dice

so we tried getting episode mission to transwarp out. cant get any missions because we are still in tutorial.
we enter a pve queue and after that we finish, we end up still at esd. tried to get fleet map invite. we couldn't receive any... bridge invites... nope.

last chance. force a server error and "safe login".... still trapped on esd.

so we called in the artillery, @pwecaptainsmirk, unfortunately he couldn't help with our strange little problem

another bug report, a few more hours figuring out what to do...... nothing. so now I am hear

hear is a vid to illustrate. please forgive my voice. I was very sleepy at this point and was having a hard time getting my thoughts together

please send us back to SFA (Five Finger discount@captinwh0) (ShopLifter@backfire150150z)

    Get a map invite to your starbase space map and then use the conduit to transwarp to vulcan. at that point warp out and head to sol. in sol you can beam to sfa.

    I am thinking you need to speak with admiral quinn before you can leave esd.

    it is possible to get completely stuck in ESD, I mean abselutly stuck, with no hope of getting out.

    if someone could map move me I would appreciate it. I have spent plent of resources on mine before we realised, (2 of u stuck)

    Why don't you change your instance (click above the minimap on the location field) or transwarp to a mission location? That should make you change maps. If that doesn't work you need to file a GM report as nobody in the forums can help you as far as I know.

    If you've watched the video you knew they cant do that or it doesn't matter.

    -they are lvl 5.
    -Changing instances solves nothing: they'll still be on ESD.
    -they cant tranport to a mission, it's ALL unavailable/greyed out
    -they cant beam down back to starfleet acadamy (no beam down prompt)
    -they can join a few pve's (which they shouldn't be able to) but they'll just get ported back to ESD upon finishing it
    -they cant join pvp
    -they cant beam to ship or transwarp anywhere because they do not have a ship yet.

    that is a fantastic breakdown of how i am stuck. i will save this thanks.

    all i am looking for is some recognition from the devs. and a map move, its on general because i dont want anyone to repeat my mistake.

    noobs are at rish from this, and wont bother to report it, most will just leave and uninstall

    Yep, that's a bug all right. First time players aren't at risk though since the game forces them to complete the tutorial at least once before they can skip it on another character. That said, it should be looked at anyway.

    Ok, I found out how to fix it. Just remove the "http//" from the link and it will work.

    The links are double "http:" bug due the forums. The links link correctly but you need to add ":" between "https" and "//"

    *edit, they fixed the links, nevermind my post ;)*

    Hmm... This probably won't help, but I recommend doing PvE to level up, and you might eventually just find a way around the problem. If you get to Lieutenant Commander and buy the ship for that rank, and it doesn't fix it... well you've at least made some progress while waiting for Cryptic to fix your problem. :D

    But ya, this is definitely a Cryptic side problem that needs a Cryptic side solution.

    You mentioned that you couldn't do some of the PvEs without being in a fleet. I could invite you to mine if you want. :o

    This really sucks but..

    It's sooooo funny that it was ferengi toons that are stuck on ESD. It's so trek lol

    Maybe you should PM Taco and ask to add in carts so you can return them for a little EC and maybe he could add an unfinished part of ESD so your toon can sleep at night.


    but anyway...yeah it really sucks. Can you at least access a shared account bank? You can save your toon at the tailor and dump all your cash and lobi in the account bank and start over?

    Best of luck.

    Buy one of those level 1 ships from zen store or pick up your shuttle, assign that as your ship, and beam out.

    I was stuck once in the Captain's Lounge. My KDF didn't do the tutorial and once I beamed to the Captain's Lounge, I couldn't beam back up. The GMs were no help at all. I managed to get out by joining a PvE queue and once that finished, I was transported back to sector space. Then I traveled back to Qo'noS and did the tutorial so something like that wouldn't happen again.

    Yeah if u have about a mill in the bank on ur toons maybe u can buy one of them dead cheap mirror ships off exchange and u can beam up to it? Unless u have a cstore ship available to claim.
