Is there a way around this issue? I just drafted a couple friends into playing this game due to the recent update actually being a bit better in quality then most of the stuff perfect world forced cryptic to TRIBBLE out and call content.
Yet now, here we are, trying to start the mission 'The Best Defense' which is part of the core freaking storyline, and we are getting an absolutely game breaking bug that as far as I am concerned makes the game exceptionally unplayable. I would be far more forgiving if it was a side mission or an explorer/patrol because that's all pretty much optional content and it's possible to progress without touching it.
However this is a core story mission which stands in the way of huge amounts of content. Hell, removing an entire race or class would have less impact on new players than this.

There is no way around the issue.
This is sloppy, unprofessional work at best. If I took down my company's entire network, due to an issue in the e-mail server, and then proceeded to not tell anyone about it, I would be fired. I am amazed at what passes for IT in most MMOs.
This is not an IT fail. It's a decision made by the game's developers to block access to content in order to prevent what they're calling exploitative behaviour.
they did tell http://sto-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=1265971
They did that several hours after the fact and they posted it on the forums and not in game which means that a large portion of the playerbase will have no idea what is going on.

This mission is part of the Cardassian storyline over in/at DS9 actually. So what it's boiling down to is any new players that joined this week can't play past, say, level 35 at all until the fatal bug of replayable content is removed?
Its the free dil you get when your spec trees are maxed.
also... Doffing for Xp works great.

Allow me to repeat myself for the second time.
This is part of he story line for the Cardassian storyline.
You can't skip ahead in a story.
You can go back and repeat pieces of it but you can't skip ahead.
there are way faster ways of getting free dil (like spending a few minutes in Voth BZ) than grinding XP for it. So that's not it. It's the powerleveling by anchoring to level 50 team leader and forcing all mobs to downscale while upscaling XP that is the big problem.
Been around for so long it actually qualifies for "Veteran" Status... :rolleyes:
Seriously, even early fed stuff? That is disappointing. Not seeing how you could exploit those, since you could only run em once. I'm very disappointed, as I was levelling my new alts with those instead of the story, which I've run a few times through already.
no patrols, no azura rescue (shutdowned), a shuttle pve queue which is unplayable, no pve queue with choice of marks which is proposing romulans...
what a pain to get these marks !!!
only remain the rh'ihho ground, and the romulus little tasks on ground, and from time to time tholian alerts..
plz Cryptic, give us more ways to get these marks, it's really a bad bad idea to limit at this point the ways to grind the romulans marks !
After I finished the romulan introduction-campaign (found a new-remolus) and get my first ally and my ship this issue appears in the first mission when I´m trying to enter Beta-Thoridar-System....
That sucks soooo much!
Is there any way to play other missions or something ?!
Cryptic claims that it is some sort of exploit.
- Could be unexpectedly fast levelling
- Could be unexpectedly fast levelling of ship mastery
- Could be unexpectedly high drops of high end upgrade kits
- Could be unexpectedly quick access to all of that 'post specialization' dilithium cutting into their bottom line.
The truth is that we just don't know exactly what the issue was because, aside from Q's instantly closed post on the subject, the Devs haven't been exactly chatty on the subject.
Nope. Those are unavailable as well. It's a pity though since i enjoy those tholian Red Alerts a lot more than the, by now, boring borg red alerts.
To me I can kinda get by with the points by doing the ground work. Since I don't need many more to get my array. However I will restart my Rep run to T5 and will need those points. The saving grace is they offering extra Dil this weekend. So I can wait it out and do a couple of Dil runs. Since I still need Dill for the experimental array. So its not like its a lost cause since its down. However down too long will mess up my plans on my Romulan. Since I'm really playing that one to get it caught up for the Delta Quadrant.
I just hope they fix this issue soon.

ive opened a ticket and the answer was to just wait till they fix this, locking me from actually playing the game, if im lucky it will be fixed this thursday, if not then when do i get to play?
Nothing like a fix that breaks the game for new players coming to play in response to the hype of the new expansion eh? Canadia eh?
I have a feeling this is down to something else due to the fact this sector and its patrol are so not the best way to get XP anyway.
Except this is at DS9 which is in Beta Ursae. Kinda the other side of the galaxy from Tau Dewa.
