Only Thing Worse Than Timegates Are BROKEN Timegates: Tides of Ice Gives No Credit

This happens at least 50% of the time in the Tides of Ice event, you finish and get NO completion credit.
Cryptic this is just unacceptable. If you're going to make us grind this out you need to at least have it working to give credit where credit is due.
At this point, given how much of a crapfest this has turned QWW into, next patch you should nerf the restriction entirely for this year and let us just buy the stuff we want. Then you can try again next year.

Delta Rising is the best expansion ever and the players love it! No, seriously! ...Why are you laughing so hard?

So, either Cryptic buffs the Queen up or nerfs the blower down.
Or maybe, ya know, people could NOT be tremendous butts and wait a single minute (That's 60 seconds, everyone! 60!) for the Ginger General to finish his speech and then proceed to blow her apart, so the glitch would not occur and everyone else who was defending can get a hit in edge wise.
But, ya know, sure, Cryptic can try to fix this. Because I see in every thread someone asking they toughen up the enemy and make us captains as tough as Tribbles.

I think the thing with the queen is a myth, I've had runs where the queen died in 2 seconds and we got credit, runs where the queen wasn't killed before the timer ran out and got credit, runs where I only showed up at wave 5 and got credit
other times where I participated fully and got nothing
50% sound a bit high though, for me its more like 20%
Please learn to read patch notes.
You must be the most unlucky person in the game then if you miss out on the reward 50% of the time.
It's not 50%. It's not 10%. If you're not getting credit, you've done something wrong.
Quoted for truth
Then you have been lucky. Others have not. I've been in there several times, from the opening announcement to the expiry of the final timer, hammering away with everything I've got (which is actually a fair bit), only to get nothing at the end of it.
I'm seeing snowborg go down in droves before me, but the code behind the event isn't, because there is buggy event handling in there somewhere. Where, I can't say, not having access to Cryptic's source code. But there is quite definitely a bug, and a large number of people have been affected by it, even if you haven't.
So if you have a sandwich, no-one else can starve? Stupidest comment I've seen in a while.
There is a known bug with Tides of Ice and it's been deployed to Tribble already. Should be in next Holodeck patch.
"You don't have to do something again and again and again repetitive that doesn't have much challange, that's just a general good gameplay thing."
Um... I dunno about that. When I didn't get credit the last time everyone else in the zone was complaining about not getting credit as well. I was there from the start (before wave 1 even started) and I stayed for a couple minutes after the Queen had died and nothing. I don't see how it's user error when no one that participated in that event got credit.
Lets see, I come before event starts, a brave each and every wave, I take a few pot shots at the queen, and no completion credit. I had this happen twice, you two should just be thankful this never happened to you... yet.
ugh...
random, seems to happen more likely at the :45 than the :00
so yes, the problem is real, but it's not a huge issue.

I dunno, for this one guy who said he did it 14 times, he's only gotten the accolade once...
Was this issue in the "known issues" section before the last tribble patch notes ?
... ummmm ... , nope ...
Have to agree, I've tried this I've killed a single snorg and ran to the center, I got credit because even though the queen took several minutes to load with the waves going to 10, I still killed a single snowman which means it counted my participation. ( I did this by accident btw because it kept saying defend the fortress so I thought the waves were over so I ran to the fortress and waited thinking she would appear but had to wait for wave 10 ).
Some one call Wine One One we nee a Waaahhhbulance.
Do people think that screaming and yelling about bugs actually help things. They are working on it because it was reported, its not a catastrophic error so it will be fixed on Thursday.
Use some common sense please for once in your life, new things will always have problems, these problems will be found out and fixed, depending on how bad of a problem it is depends on how quickly the repair.

And if there was actually a competent QC team, or Cryptic actually acted on feedback from Tribble, these issues would rarely make it to the live server. It always seems rather reactive rather than proactive. Event/mission-breaking bug? We'll fix it next week. Exploit? SHUT DOWN EVERYTHING!
yeah, shut down the server in the middle of an event, because that always goes over soooo well
shut down the server for less than one hour off schedule and the forum will be lit up with "extend the winter event" threads
just be patient and wait for thursday
I did it 30 times over 3 characters (mainly for the accolades) and never missed out on a credit for doing it once.
some times I was not there at the start but always there for the finish, a few times I seemed to get on an instance that runs it early and was able to change instance and finish the one that does it at the normal time on the hour and was able to double up on the credits.
the easiest way to check to see you got the credit is to check your accolade for it.
accolade > Line In The Snow under Events
click on the accolade to see how many times you have been credited.
When I think about everything we've been through together,
maybe it's not the destination that matters, maybe it's the journey,
and if that journey takes a little longer,
so we can do something we all believe in,
I can't think of any place I'd rather be or any people I'd rather be with.
That being said out of the 30 or so runs I've done I didn't get credit about 5 times.

I see the timer, I know how the game works, but this has still happened 3 times to me thus far.
"If this will be our end, then I will have them make SUCH an end as to be worthy of rememberance! Out of torpedos you say?! Find me the ferengi!".
Just don't leave the stage immediately after killing the Snorg clown. Dance a bit, peek into ladies skirts to see the color of their underwear etc. You got the point.

Is this normal? Seems like a lot of work for nothing
