They should NEVER have to extend maintenance. The initial estimate (whatever it is) should be sufficient for whatever needs to be done.
If it's really going to take four, six, or fourteen hours (which is what this one effectively is for me, as I have to go to work at the time they extended it to), don't say two and a half and then change it later.
Things happen and yes, dear I do have a real life, too. If it helps any I am sorry this is inconvenient for you today. But as I also stated, I am happy for a few minutes to chat with other players.
West Coast here, now able to log in without problems...and they do indeed appear to have fixed the "haha you can't see me" bug in the email and banks, which has been driving me crazy for the last several days. Now just so long as their patch doesn't require a patch, it's all good.
I was cool with extended downtime, not sure why everyone got upset actually? Should you not of just expected it just as I did?
HOWEVER I have been waited. I have been patient. It was stated 2 things would be returned today.
1. Missing Items. Items that were turned into black squares are now back. Bank slots that were suddenly blank, they are still blank.
2. And this is most important. WHERE IS THE FREAKING FOUNDRY ALREADY! You said it would be playable, and well it still is not working. Fix this now please dear god, I really do not want to have to hit the dilithium mines.
for a broken ship they sure are expensive doesnt seem to me due to exchange prices that anyone cares if the orb weaver is borked or not :rolleyes:
That's the fun part! KDF are the only faction that experienced this bug. Other Orb Weaver's were fine. Cryptic went in and fixed the bug back in February for all new upgrades to 5U, which means that new KDF Orb Weavers will work correctly. Unfortunately, if your ship was bugged before the patch, you're still waiting... and waiting... for someone to offer customer service and remedy the problem. 6 months it's been borked. Bah.
I know the feeling I havent been able to play my fed since January 29th when they broke the dyson destroyer. I am glad it finally got fixed. Prayers for the fix on the busted ship I know how painful it is to wait.
I know you do. I wish they had more resources in QA so they wouldn't be constantly putting off bugs. I get there are always bugs, but they shouldn't always be the same ones.
Yes, despite the comment in the release notes, Foundry missions can't be accessed from the Journal screen or from any of the system "gateways" in either Alpha or Beta Quadrants - not that I can find, anyway.
Between that, and several of the daily missions still being messed up, it looks like this "dilithium weekend" will be rather thin on dilithium, for me at least. (I'm nearly out of mining claims.) Oh, well, it will stave off inflation a bit, I suppose.

This. I spend a good 30 minutes trying various entry points after I found I couldn't access the Foundry from the Journal. No luck.
As it is almost weekend I doubt we'll get a fix on this until Monday soonest.
Logic is the beginning of wisdom, not the end of it.
Some feedback regarding the lag fix as stated in these patch notes.
I don't know what your metrics say about the lag fix implementation and how successful it is but it has been 2 days since the patch and in my opinion the lag is worse. I know that you have addressed the ability/trait issues yet but if the last 2 days are anything to go by there are improvements in some areas such as social map rubberbanding but declines in others such as PVEs/STFs where it has been the worst seen by many hundreds of players from the DPS channels.

Any news about it?

But they did mess up the bank and exchange items for a week.
"Apology" accepted, Cryptic.
