Well i did comment earlier about the length of time of this patch, and joked about adding more bugs/breaking content. It just wouldn't be Cryptic if there wasn't a TRIBBLE up somewhere. Probably the issue is the game is reacting to the new battlecruisers and saying F this i'm not having something this ugly coded into my software.
Ah well..there goes my window of opportunity to play. Risa and "Flying High" will have to wait until tomorrow. On the plus side so will dragging my neglected Delta Recruit through the rest of the "Cardassian Struggle"..
Will keep my fingers crossed for a smooth restart for you lot at 22.00.
And Trendy..you either have a lot of patience..or a battered stress doll..
Also yes!
Just got off the phone with some people. They're moving it up to 3pm PDT.
Load balancer issue that's supposed to be distributing traffic isn't doing it properly. This needs to be addressed, otherwise it won't properly get people into the patcher or Holodeck.
I suppose none of you guys know how much coding and delicate care goes into making it all fit together, adding things on to something as huge as STo can either work perfectly and in snyc or it can break and clash with other code....
You suppose wrong. "Some of us guys" know even too much about this, and from what is seen every week on the new episode of STO maintenace soap opera, know about it far better than the people who are paid to do this thing at Cryptic. I'd like to use the worn out phrase "I do this for a living", but the fact is that I do this for fun, because good technology is fun and i like the challenge.
A slight tweak in their methodology and maybe a grain of reason would cut down these maintenance times in half. And always work. But it would also require certain investments and that's a touchy subject for a corporate mentality stuck in the Ford-T mode.

One of the major concerns is that whenever you have network changes, it can cause failures when the shard is live which requires it to get taken down again, repatched, restarted, and then needing another whiteglove check. This has happened in the past, and it's something we're keen to avoid.
Because I'm not in Boston...? Or maybe because I'm not an engineer, I'm a community manager?
Really?
Haha, silly Trendy. Has no one told you yet, that there are no different jobs at PWE/Cryptic? (That's one single company btw.) Everyone who works there is a "dev" and does "dev"-stuff. And they all sit in one big office, surrounded by the game servers, because that is the only room the company owns. Everyone knows this.
