    Did anyone notice that virtually everyone who opened a lockbox was getting a Krenim ship?

    There is no change in the chance of receiving a lockbox ship. You (we) were seeing so many back-to-back messages of players receiving lockbox ships because more people were opening more lockboxes than normal. The messages were the result of multiple Bernoulli trials or compound probability; additional rolls at x%, similar to the way the % chance increases with procs on the use of additional DOFFs. During the first few hours of an update that features a new lockbox, this "message spam" happens all the time and is frequent at first, then soon dies down.

    These patches are an absolute embarrassment and a slap in the face to everybody that plays this game. DO RIGHT BY YOUR CLIENTS CRYPTIC !!!

    Chill man walls don't have ears nor do they have the ability to learn from mistakes. This has been the normal for as along as i've been playing roughly 4 and a half years. Frustrating as it is you got to take it on the chin and sing


    Some things in life are bad
    They can really make you mad
    Other things just make you swear and curse
    When you're chewing on life's gristle
    Don't grumble, give a whistle
    And this'll help things turn out for the best...
    And...

    ...always look on the bright side
    of life...
    (Whistle)

    Always look on the light side
    of life...
    (Whistle)

    If life seems jolly rotten
    There's something you've forgotten
    And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing
    When you're feeling in the dumps
    Don't be silly chumps
    Just purse your lips and whistle
    - that's the thing.
    And...always look on the bright
    side of life...
    (Whistle)

    Come on.

    Always look on the right side
    of life...
    (Whistle)

    This.

    And, of course you are only going to see a message when someone gets a big prize. You will never see a message when someone gets a skill boost or other things lol. I have those notifications deactivated so i never see any message about someone getting a ship. But i remember back in the days, my screen was constantly showing messages that this guy or thos other one got a big prize. That doesnt mean everyone who opens a lockbox is getting it lol.

    Cryptic said that they increased the chances of all the rewards. Well, knowing cryptic my bet is that this increase is about 0,001 % or something like that. So, in the end, nothing changed.

    This patch is taking longer than even I expected. Started 3:30 PM, my time, and it's now 19:41 PM. :(

    Some things in STO are bad
    The latest fed toy can really make you mad
    Other things just make you moan 'entitlement!'
    When you're chewing on yet another nerf missile
    Don't grumble, give a whistle
    And this'll help things turn out for the best...
    And...

    ...always look on the bright side
    of star trek on-line...
    (Whistle)

    Always look on the light side
    of star trek on-line...
    (Whistle)

    If STO being down seems jolly rotten
    There's something you've forgotten
    And that's not to moan and groan or white knight on the forums, you see
    When you're feeling like a cheeto covered lump
    Don't be a whinin' lil' punk
    Just wait it out and whistle
    - that's the thing.
    And...always look on the bright
    side of star trek on-line...
    (Whistle)

    Come on.

    Always look on the right side
    of star trek on-line!...

    I really dont enjoy animals being treated like that. Even if the purpose is to feed up cryptic's servers. Next time please, avoid posting images with poor animals being abused.

    The Touch and Dare 2 great songs on that Sound track,

    I suddenly feel old for actually remembering those songs and the series.​​
    This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.

    A time when a transformers film was about transformers and not mangled pieces of metal supporting a human cast like bayformers.


    Is the server fixed yet ?

    I think we need to call for a little help and i know a man who can

    LOL. So eating the animal: OK. Watching the process that brings it to your plate: you hate animals.

    Do I have that correct?

    But it is an interesting process. Don't worry. That video didn't show any slaughtering.

    Since you want something more pleasant, here's a fun Disney video for you. :)

    actually you may find that isn't cruelty, my daughter had 2 female hamsters that used to do that every now and then, over and over and over again.. they'd take it in turns.. 1 would run like crazy, suddenly stop running and spin around inside the wheel, she come zooming out and then the other 1 would jump right in after her and do the exact same thing.. we had to move them out of my daughters bedroom, she used to sneak out of bed to watch them, and we would hear her giggling from downstairs. or maybe it was it chinchillas, memory is baad.. they were fluffy and they weren't rats.. i'll need to ask her next time she's here​​
