They must be having a hard time patching STO...
Hope they realy fix the bugs...
But they could take a fey minutes just to give us information about it.
You all act as if regardless the time, everything is going to work normally.
Everyone knows that no matter how long a patch or maintenance goes on for... It only gets worse.
In short, the faster the patch is added, the less bugs we will probably have!
people also seem to think that coding, hunting down bugs, fixing said bug, then making sure it didnt break anything else, is an easy job. try sifting thru half a million lines of code jsut to find the 1 character that is out of line and see how long it takes you. give them their time.
This is where i ask if STO's Community Manager posts wed, about thursday patch and go for a manacure/pedicure for thursday then can they please atleast ask the Manager from NW to copy and past the info to the sto forum.
They have the means to fix everything, including all of the in game bugs... they dont simply because they hate...you.
When its raining on days you want to go outside... its God, hating you.
Birds dont poo on your car by accident... they hate you too.
Trolls will be trolls. I'm neither a customer of God, nor of birds.
I'm not complaining that they're taking longer than they originally posted, I'm complaining about them not letting their customers know what's going on.
Hey Everyone, we're bringing the shard up but the global chat server is still down, which means you wont be able to chat with anyone. I felt it was more important to let people play while we work out this issue. We're currently working on a fix and hope to have something up this afternoon. This won't require additional downtime. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
They should really stop starting with "maintenance will take ~3 hours" and just call Thursday maintenance shutdown day. I don't care if they take their time, in-fact that's a good thing. Still though look at all of December, 6-8 hours of maintenance time for a "stability update" that would then crash the server in another 8 hours and need to come down again.
I guess what I'm trying to say is do what Scotty would do, give us a much longer estimated time to completion and then it won't be such a continual annoyance each week or become a guessing game. I don't even read the serve downtimes that are scheduled anymore; they may as well put a note that the servers will be dipped in quatloos for two shakes of a trellian puewl - it would be just as relevent.;)
They could take longer, only problem would be losing all their European players to other sites .. it is Thursday evening over here.

Thank you for your patience everyone, Holodeck is back online! Chat service will remain offline until further notice
but esd cant function w/o chat!! THINK OF THE TROLLS CRYPTIC!!! W/o chat they'll have to go out into the world and find bridges... and engage in real world PvP over them!

so wait they just added code so wouldn't the new code be the logical culprit? Start there then see what it conflicts with? don't tell me the re-write the whole code everytim they update? i'd simply addend existing code unless exact removal of some code is required for new code.
even then i'd just write the new code to tell the software to ignore the code that is being replaced.

Thanks for keeping us in the loop dude. Hope you get the issues worked out soon.

you guys forgot to feed the server hamsters during down time again didnt you?
I was in. got some DOffing done, filled some R&D projects. Then, I went to look at Fleet Projects.
I knew there was something wrong when there were no projects slotted. None. Then, I noticed that our T4 Starbase was T0! I'm hoping that's caused by the fact that the game was actually already dead, I just hadn't caught up, because in the next second:
Disconnected from Server.
...and the Light is Red again...

The hamsters must be on strike with the dock workers. Logged in, patched, got to play maybe a minute of game time and got disconnected from the server. So much for extended downtime and fixing anything.
Guess I'll try later tonight after the hockey game.

It's up for me too....going to try before work!

For serious!
So, you know, good news all the way around.

Us: "There are... GREEN lights!"
they forgot to update the r_light.png
HAHAHAHAhaahAaha.cough hah.. heh, it's happens to the best of them.
Connecting ... Login2_Timeout ...
Ok ...
It may shock you, but some people expect the info to be here, where the game client itself says there is more info to be found.
They could take longer, only problem would be losing all their European players to other sites .. it is Thursday evening over here.

Yeah, but it takes you seconds to look for the information on twitter so what's the big deal?

Because this is the place that they say that the info will be on, not twitter?
