    hmmm it must be "working as intended" or x17 times more players tried to log in

    or... "the server is not empty... its a reporting bug"

    They should copy Destiny's login errors; except go with Trek themes.

    Such as Warp Core Failure for a problem with network connection (Timeouts/Server Not Responding), or Tribble Carcass for a complete physical server failure.

    I need to ask - when everyone tried logging in when the server was up for a sec - did you all crash on the Delta Rising load screen? Im asking because mine has been doing that for weeks.

    I dont know if it is on Cryptics end or what, but i do know that the Frisco region and its surrounding areas are having power issues and could be the result of this extra down time.

    You got it wrong. Cryptic's server issues are the reason for power issues in the bay area. It just came on CNN.

    In one FAQ they actually stated it (paraphrased):

    "We get yelled if we announce something, we get yelled if we don't. Same outcome for us, though not posting means less expense on our side."

    Look around. Did that ****storm abate once we actually got updates here? Doesn't look that way.

    So basically getting messages filling the forum in this fashion:

    I keep trying to login and I get "Tripping on a tribble carcass" error code. Fix this I need it now!!!!



    Yeah. I just can't see that being any more helpful than a login2 error.

    Hell NO. The more technically inclined - and I think it's a good part of the user base - can actually make some sense from the error messages. And maybe diagnose problems on their own side, like firewalls or routers from them.

    It wouldn't help seeing an error message like "core breach" or such.

    In my opinion this shows a fundamental fallacy on Cryptic's side. Many threads have thousands of views yet only 20-30 posts in it. This means that many people are actually glad to get some information and are NOT yelling at anybody.

    Maybe trhere are vast numbers of players like me who humbly would like an updat as to when to plan to get back to th game. Other than that I don't care about anything else.

    The moderators especially should know people tend to re-post a lot of stuff and that for some reason people don't read posts by staff. Some do, some don't. Go figure. :confused:
    If you've come to the forums to complain about the AFK system, it's known to be bugged at the moment.

    Cryptic says:
    "We apologize for the recent unexpected extended down time of our servers. To make up for it we will extend the Elachi Event until our next extended down time, which we assure you will be totally unexpected.

    To further make things right with our playerbase, we are decreasing the cooldown time to run the Elachi Mission from once every half hour, to once every Fifteen minutes. Furthermore, we have increased the reward for completing each Elachi Mission from 720 Dilithium to 1440 Dilithium.

    However, based on our highly detailed, technological metric, there will be a fee of 2880 Dilithium each time you run the Elachi Event.

    Signed,
    Your friends at Cryptic."

    That way you'll know not to have any expectations and that you're actually in luck when things are up inbetween... :D
