Just had the mission fail on me 3x in a row. Top of the hour- nothing, X:45 - nothing, top of the hour again - nothing. This needs to be fixed, or the shop requirement needs to be removed.
well played it a few times and havent seen the borg queen yet........
its like the rest of the winter event bugs all over,,, snowmen spawn and run into the frozen lake and end up under it throwing snowballs at you and nothing you can do spring to mind..
not sure what theyve done but they totally messed it ,
requirements for stuff in shop is totally stupid,
upgrading last years event ship has now also made it so i cant event find the event for the new ship....
Call me a cynic. But it seems rather the coincidence that the mission Cryptic makes people grind for gear is bugged and often doesn't resolve itself. Thus forcing people to spend even more time in game (as many don't realize it's happening). And of course now that it's a weekend nothing will be done about this even though they were made aware of the issue by noon Thursday.
Personally, I think this is a real case of: Everything is working as intended.

Same with most mmo's, been trying to get the warp core, have all the items, done the Tides Of Ice 11 times now, 10 needed, also done all other's, i.e. daily race, player only race, etc, still locked saying I need to have completed the said event 10 times. As a free player with no money and not in a fleet, getting decent items to compete is hard.
I am not a complete idiot, just part of me is missing! I have Aspergers (Autistic Spectrum Disorder), I stick to the rules, if I see a glitch, I report it, if I see abuse I report it. This is me, this is how I am and cannot deviate from it to keep others happy. My characters Scott@tallon2k , Dillel@tallon2k ,Selu@tallon2k My personal site scotslad.webs.com
Just checked and it seems to have recorded just 5 out of the 11 I have done, guess you have to be there b4 it starts, be active all the way through and stay till a minute or so after the Queen has been defeted.

How do you check how many times you've completed it? I've been playing this half a dozen times a day since launch (always in area 1 min before wave 1 and 1 minute after the last wave) and only seen the message once.

In your accolades in progress look for 'A Line in the Snow' under Events. It'll show you how many times you've completed it (or at least, how many have been counted).
Join date is wrong, I've actually been around since STO Beta.
True alters don't have a "main". Account wide unlocks for all unique event rewards!!

Not quite, you have to actually do damage to the queen for it to register, just being there doesn't work, nor does killing everything in waves 1 to 9, if your not fast enough to get down the slope then the spawn campers will get all the credit.

For that reason I was moving down hill as soon as wave 9 was almost done since if you don't get one shot off on queen then you don't get credit for all you did during all the other waves. I had only one fail to reward even though I was at all the waves and even shot the Queen. Of course, it happened on the run that would have been my 10th (and final run) for full vendor access (i.e., the cryo-core). I did have a run that I knew I arrived late, but the came did reward me for completion since I was down at the bottom (the gates had all failed around wave 4) so I was already in position when the Queen appeared for the firing squad. I did not have as bad a time as some are saying in the thread, but I do know that some in my groups missed out on rewards because they stayed up the hill to long and missed out on the Queen. That part has to change or more players will get upset with being ripped off by AFKers that do absolutely nothing for the team. :rolleyes:
I want to know if cryptic are really going to force us to do this 10 times on each character, the option to get the warp core on each would be nice but I am never going to do it on all my characters.

The Tribble patch notes from Friday say they're changing it to an account unlock. So you'll only need to run it 10 times on one character and then you'll be able to buy the items (provided you have the ornaments and what not) on any character.

I'm also not getting any credit for finishing the Tides of Ice event. I was there the entire time too.
After commenting on chat about it, it seems everyone has this problem now right after the current patch.
Something is definitely broken.
