    Since DR launched I have submitted numerous bug reports, several of them mission breaking, others about upgraded items such as consoles not applying bonuses, even the inability to open a door to end the main storyline. Not a single thing that I encountered (and there are numerous threads about these issues by many people) have been addressed.

    If you're referring to the door in 'Takedown', they DID address that.
    It's listed in the release notes from yesterday, in the 'Known Issues' section.
    Just replay the mission, and don't kill Gaul while NOT in the round arena-like area; I did this, and it's not that difficult of an issue for you to fix for yourself...that way.

    Guess I was one of the few who used Japori elite to get enough XP to play the next story mission.

    I just went to my standby grinder - Japori surprise (the surprise being it isn't japori)

    Am I the only person here who made my dil by converting all those reputation marks I got from doing all the PvE missions? 50 marks for 500 dil means 16 turn ins and your done. And thats if you dont get any ore from any other source, like DOffs, the actual PvE reward, mining, saved stuff from weekends, overflow from a good day.....Is it just me? Am I missing something? Because to me this sounds like they caught some people cheating, and removed the exploit. Okay so we lose the dil, thats sad. We move on. Looks like I will have to kill more borg now.

    Still no fix for our graphical issues and horizontal "squeezing" of icons since 'Delta Rising' was launched?
    One would think that these type of things would have priority over trivial stuff, but I guess not here.

    Nope, it's not just you. I don't understand the complaint over dil either because I hit the 8k limit every day without even trying. I refuse to grind for things so apparently it's not that difficult to achieve.

    I think I change my sig every maintenence... my personal fave is my 'homage' to apocalypse now (craftpocalypse soon) as it was hard to get the right look
    Your sig (and a nerdy joke about Ba'al only having one b'all) just was inspirational :p

    lol, so I'm not the only one who noticed how deserted channels and even esd zone has been since DR. At first I thought players were leveling till I read this thread and saw this stuff about dilithium. I had no idea that's what they were talking about when I heard tau was closed, but that explains it. One of the only channels in full (and I mean FULL) operation during this time has been our channel XTERN1TY, active all day and through the night at times since DR with active players and teaming. I been watching those big chans since DR and none of them even came close to our level of activity, except RedditAlert (good job guys!).

    Seems while we were busy leveling, teaming and helping players, the 'superior' guys and gals were busy exploiting the game... go figure. :rolleyes:

    Considering how full of miss-information you guys are I wouldn't call that a good thing, and as for other channels being quiet, maybe not as much as they can be but I've seen most of the main channels running fine.

    I no longer do any Bug Hunting work for Cryptic. I may resume if a serious attempt to fix the game is made.

    I'd also like to thank the devs for all of the welcome changes. I, too, am not bothered by the removal of the dil reward for maxing the skill tree since I've barely begun filling mine out. I'm just glad to have everything else rebalanced.
    Now a LTS and loving it.
    Just because you spend money on this game, it does not entitle you to be a jerk if things don't go your way.
    I have come to the conclusion that I have a memory like Etch-A-Sketch. I shake my head and forget everything. :D

    Has anyone been able to patch yet? Not much time left for maintenance and still no patch applied for me.
    No, I am not who you think I am. I am someone different. I am instead a banana.

    I loved the one where he's about to conquer Earth, and he pulls out this phone that he's been keeping around for 50-odd years to call the President and gloat.

    Dude's epic funny.

    As we wait for maintenance to finish, I wrote a song...

    Hello, desktop, my old friend...
    Seems I've found you, once again...
    I just want to launch the new missions...
    And advance in reputations...
    But, this game won't stay open long enough... yeah, it's rough...
    Just hear the sound... of silence...

    And other players do not know...
    'Cause they use stupid Windows...
    They can be so close-minded...
    Their computer choice is one-sided...
    And my tears, like silent raindrops, fell... I don't feel well...
    Because the sound... of silence...

    And, now, Mac users bow and pray...
    Will our fix PLEASE come today???
    So that we can stop our mourning...
    Crash-to-desktop without warning...
    And the Quadrant of Delta will come our way... Hail Janeway...
    Instead, the sound... of silence...

    *waits for the fix* :(
    That's pretty good. I wish it makes devs care.
    TOIVA, Toi Vaxx, Toia Vix, Toveg, T'vritha, To Vrax: Bring in the Allegiance class.
    Toi'Va, Ti'vath, Toivia, Ty'Vris, Tia Vex, Toi'Virth: Add Tier 6 KDF Carrier and Raider.
    Tae'Va, T'Vaya, To'Var, Tevra, T'Vira, To'Vrak: Give us Asylums for Romulans.

    Don't make ARC mandatory! Keep it optional only!

    Mine patched thirty minutes after maint started. Don't know why yours isn't. It was just about 114mb

    Nope, its none of those ...not telling as otherwise it'll get hammered hard if it gets Japori type popularity - if you prod me in game (I'm usually gabbling away on doffjobs), I'll explain in pm

    Understandable.
    I may do that, but from a different account; I don't want to end up getting this one banned.

    Well, I started later.
    So, you might be missing some stuff, and have to patch more when the servers come up.
    OR you might get the "Version Mismatch" message, as that happens to me sometimes if I try to jump start a patch.

    Patched. Trying it out as I'm a victim of the dreaded Crash-to-desktop.

    failed.

    Ba'al was epic, I was SO sad to see him go...

    The joke in the link in my sig is based around the idea that the guy Mitchell killed was just another clone, and the real Ba'al did it again and succeeded in mostly peacefully conquering Earth. And most of the universe. And several other universes.

    It's...a titanic mass crossover epic freeform RP. And it is hilarious. :D:cool:

    I doubt its bannable, but I just don't want it to suffer the japori nerfstrike III as the devs have proven they have no concept of exploit or fair play (I doubt it was merely power levelling for dil as argala was never shut off)

    dude, I'm getting tired of explaining this to you and folks like you.

    IT CRASHES TO DESKTOP DURING LOADING. CONNECTING TO THE SERVER IS NOT NECESSARY. YOU CAN LOAD THE PROGRAM BUT WITHOUT THE BLOODY SERVER YOU JUST CAN'T LOG ON. I CRASH BEFORE THE LOG ON SCREEN TELLS ME THE SERVER IS NOT ACTIVE!!!!!!


    Sheesh...
