    We should begin a pool on if the window will be extended again. 5 dollars a spot, yes or no, time frame, and if it gets extended again at the end of that one :)

    Reading through this thread and others like it nobody has spotted/stated the obvious!

    Now if I was working late what would I do? Oh yes tell the boss we need more time to complete whatever we are doing., even if it was almost done...in other words the Devs are on overtime now, so aren't going to hurry :D

    Best practice, in general, i working the issue till resolution and informing the customer.... that's really it.

    Not in the areas I've seen though granted I was managing cyber centers with many clients and we definitely DID have contractual obligations. But, it's a moot point at this time either way. I've expressed my displeasure, they are doing whatever they are going to regardless of how I would and that's all there is too it. Meh.

    Problem is for the devs it's only 12:38pm PST so no O.T for at least 4.5 more hours assuming a 9-5 workday.

    Well if they don't want us to play losing peak time in Europe and US then I'm more than willing to plow my money into Warthunder or many other MMOs as they create a better product and have a server that works STO is dying because Cryptic/Perfect World are incompetent asses who couldn't run a game if their lives dependended on it lets face it even when the server is up its unreliable and buggy as hell

    I am not going to cry about some added downtime as long as they fix the issues at hand. In the last 8 patches they claimed to fix issues that were still glitched and remained glitched to date. If they need the extra downtime to fix the errors and glitches, I am more than happy to give it to them.

    As for the people demanding compensation: If you are looking for free handouts, get ready for disappointment. Problems happen and delays are part of life. Have a seat and feel free to hold a pouting tantrum fit. The rest of us are prepped to point and laugh.

    As for needing more information about the issue: If you are not an employee of Cryptic it is safe to say that you do not have a "right to know".

    See you all a bit later. Peace!

    Wonder if we'll get some info on what the delay was for.
    If you've come to the forums to complain about the AFK system, it's known to be bugged at the moment.

    They made some of the collectors perks available in the store, like the TOS Consitiution, Enterprise NX-01,TNG and DS9 uniforms etc. plus the TNG shuttlecraft which was DelTaco thing as I recall. However we havent seent the steam runner escort yet, which I hear isnt all that good anyway. So sometimes they venture outside their little boxes lol I cant speak to City of Heroes content though.

    You mean I'm no longer speshu for asking my brother to go have Del Taco for lunch in California when STO launched in 2010?

    It should have been already, I understand people get upset because the game is down, I understand people get upset for whatever reason, but the hatred is consuming this game, and yeah a lot of it is PWE's fault but when people start verbaly attacking race, nationality, religion, it gets stale very quickly.

    Actually its probably extending it because of my chair activity. Every time [no joke] I've sat down to check on the game the ETA has been pushed back.

    Now what to do with this power....

    You should be allowed to always, exclusively and only play on OUTSIDE server.

    On a serious note, and assuming that the Breen ships are the culprit here, didn't they test first?!?!


    If only there was a test server where the fix could have been applied and tested ahead of time......:mad:

    I'm curious, PWE...

    If you cannot maintain your product/services as a publicly-traded company, is it going to get any better when it's a privately-held company?

    (crickets chirping)

    Not expecting a response, although the current downtime is ridiculous. And PWE shareholders wonder why the company's value keeps lessening. Maybe this is a poison pill approach. Lessen revenues with "planned" downtime, position the company for private sale where shareholders are HAPPY to dump their investments.

    Then pour more effort into "Under New Management" to attract customers (players) again.

    It's wrong to attack a nationality, race, or religion... :(

    Still though I am loving the Breen Carrier, she flies like a regular sci vessel! XD
