Smirk has to eat and sleep sometime, I don't necessarily expect him to be making announcements....
But someone is evidently awake and moving around at Cryptic's Lair of Doom, or the maintenance wouldn't have started - and that someone, presumably, could and should spare five minutes to make a flippin' announcement on the flippin' forums.
It's not that much to ask, surely?
Agreed but you see that requires the morons to give a damn about their players.
We still give them £££££ regardless of their quality of care? look at the Elachi Dread spam we had?
Why would you bother giving care if you do not have too? it's a typical thing in business, if you can cut all care and services but customers give you money, why bother in first place?
PROUD TO PLAY THIS GAME MINUS TO GIVING ANY INCOME TO CRYPTIC
That sounds like an individual character problem. I'd a run of Borg Ground STF, Undine Infiltration, Nukara Transdimensional Tactics, and 2x Defend Rhilolol Station Elite right before the servers went down yesterday and got 1440 dil for each run. Are you sure you've been completing them properly?
Yes, i completed everything and it showed i had earned the dilithium and all the other awards, but it would not be credited in dilithium assests. Thats the problem whether i was playing stfs or foundries. I have reinstalled sto app, logged in and out numerous times, and even decided to write a ticket which will take some time to get a response.It rightly could be my character but whatever it is i hope they can get it fixed and for anyone else experiencing the same thing.
I go to log in today and bring up the launcher and sign in. Server light is green, no red message of "DOOM!" so I figure all is well. Then I remember something I wanted to look up so just before hitting Engage, I reopen my browser and do a little surfing.
15 minutes go by and I finally hit Engage. Game starts loading and then I get timed out trying to retrieve the character list and sent back out to the log-in screen. I figure it's just a hiccup and log-in again only to get the same problem. So, I come to the forums to see if anyone else is having similar problems. Look around for a bit and find nothing. Refresh the main page and then I see this threads title and decide to take a look.
I'm glad someone has at least a small clue what's going on and has the decency to inform others. Sadly, it's the players being informative and not the Devs/CM's.
I'm not going to claim it's easy, but seriously, how HARD is it to put a message up on the launcher warning of impending server downtime? How strenuous is it to post something on the forums saying the same thing? And now, even going back to look to see if I missed something while typing this up, there is STILL no official word on what is going on.
I don't want to 'give up' on STO, but it's almost as if the Devs have. I WANT to enjoy the game, but it's getting more and more difficult. I suppose asking for the simplest of communications is asking too much these days. There are many problems plaguing the game right now, but the biggest one seems to be a lack of communication.
Oh well.
I suppose since I have no idea when the game will be back up, I will go find something else to play since I have the spare time. Of course, I will continue to check back every 15-20 minutes to see if there is any word or if perhaps the game is back online.
I am NOT quitting, but I do see myself playing less and less with the game in its current state.
Hello. My name is iamynaught and I am an altaholic.
the game is unplayable anyway - the only Thing i do is doffing my 25 chars - i NEED no Fixes for a dumb winter Event. With every fix they break something else anyway.
35+ and counting :P

It's like I said on the Facebook feed; they're clearly running their hamster wheels with gremlins.
Your comment might carry more weight if you'd study some spelling, punctuation & work on proper syntax. Just saying. From what I can puzzle out from what you posted, I can see your point though. :P

I wish you could send in Vice Admirals Shohl, Grau, and T'Pia. *That* would get results.
I'm assuming a person goes in and changes the server status indicator. Does this person not have the capability to type in a reason and then follow through with a post on these very forums?
Take 30 secs max.
I'm sure the status indicator is automated, otherwise it would always be incorrect.

Seriously, i think theres something going on in Cryptic. I would say its something to do with nobody knowing what to do, so i would blame on the guy whos supposed to know what to do. But hes got no leader skills and the workers know it and its all just chaos in Cryptic atm. And i would like to add theres also something wrong with the motivation and with the spirit among the workers aka devs. I dont blame them...having a slap on the face everytime they see forums cant be good to healt.
Intrested how much therapy does a Dev at Cryptic need ?!

4hr +/- 30m to fix the fix
There's being impolite and then there's being a complete...well, you know.

It is absurd. Almost an hour now and they've yet to tell us anything is even happening. WTF?
