I just went through my characters to get the promotion point, and landed on one of my 60s that doesn't have any reputation maxed out. I still have the skill point bug and can't spend the free spec points.
Doesn't need to be maxed as long as you're past Enhanced Rending Shots in the tree. And then you're doomed like the rest of us. :-)
Hey good job, now show priority over your own forums, and not reddit.com. People are here to help you get the word out, that do not want to partake in that particular trollfest. 1 is enough :P
Here's an idea. How about the devs do what they want and the players just stop telling them what to do? Sound good? If not, too bad. I am all for the devs using whatever avenue they have (even if it's Reddit) to get information out to the players.
How about the devs listen to the players, ( WHICH THEY HAVE BEEN ). and take our money... No where did i say they cannot use Reddit sir. Priority should be the home forums of the business though.
Reddit is to my knowledge NOT owned by Arc/PWI/PWE/Cryptic/CBS Studios , correct me if I am wrong here , therefore , the Devs should not be posting there first as that is a 3rd party website and not the one paying them????
I myself will NOT look for official information there but here where it should be
Also, just to be clear, this has absolutely nothing to do with the Spec Point Promo that is live today. Players are seeing it as a result of that promo, because they are unable to spend the points, but it is not the cause.
Please feel free to claim the promo, and spend the free points (if you can). If you are currently flagged as "Skills Invalid" then you will be able to spend the Spec Points after the fix goes live.

Honestly I don't care if the devs want to post on reddit. The problem comes in when information is posted there first and doesn't come here until much later, if at all.

They can post wherever they wish. Trendy knows what she's doing and if she posts on Reddit first, good, if she posts here on the forums, good as well, if she posts on Facebook, Twitter, any other avenue, also good. The point is that it's good wherever she's posts information. The devs, again, do not need to listen to the players on where the information is posted. They will post wherever they feel it would be best to post (regardless of the desires of the playerbase).
Here how about some civility, LOVE YOU GUYS AS A TEAM, cause you guys are on top of things! You keep returning my faith in this game, every time something new has been coming out, since delta rising. Please, keep it up.

ETA on the fix? Should we wait for it today or it'll come later this week?

RnD and upgrade needs less RNG. Less lottery. Something has to change.
We are checking in a fix right now. As soon as it's validated, we're going to look at pushing it to Holodeck. This will likely require Emergency Downtime.
Here's an explanation of the issue:
When the system flags you as "Skills Invalid" it prevents adding/removing any powers to/from your Captain. This includes Skills, Traits, and Specs. It's all related to the one issue that's invalidating your skills. In the case of this particular bug, it's directly related to the Delta T4 Reputation Trait, "Enhanced Rending Shots."
The change we checked in that improved this power's performance on the server, required a small re-structure to the PowerTree related to the Delta Reputation, where when you earned T4 you are actually being given 3 powers instead of 2. One (the new one we had to add) is automatic, and doesn't require Slotting, but also does not activate on your character unless Enhanced Rending Shots is slotted. However, it the PowerTree itself was still flagged to only purchase 2 nodes within that Tier, and so when given 3 options it didn't know what to do with itself and continuously failed to meet Skill Validation.
We fixed that. Enhanced Rending Shots still has its performance improved, and the Reputation System no longer seizes up when more than 2 nodes exist within a PowerTree Tier.
Stay tuned for more information from the team on how and when this fix will be rolled out to Holodeck
Hey everyone. Borticus posted this at 10:45 AM. Then at 11:07 AM he posted it to Reddit. After posting here.
The team is going back and forth trying to post information to as many locations as possible, as well as work on the fix itself. Stop posting inflammatory comments about how the devs don't care for their own forums when we're trying to communicate on tons of fronts. Seriously. Knock it off. End of discussion.

Thanks for the info and the work fixing this issue I know not enough of us voice our appreciation at times but we do appreciate the hard work you do. so once more thank you
I'm dating myself here, but this entire situation (indeed, every major mistake the programmers of this game make with each launch) reminds me of the old Lily Tomlin bit where she plays phone operator Ernestine, commenting on what was then "the" phone company, especially this quote (parentheses replacing "this phone system' with "Star Trek Online":
"{Star Trek Online} consists of a multi-million dollar matrix of space age technology that is so sophisticated that even we can't handle it, but that's your problem, isn't it?"
I know you guys really aren't laughing at us behind the scenes, (or, maybe you are), but the more times an update is launched with these type of errors, the less confidence I have.
Gotta love it, every sign today has shown me a "New Dawn" and it is bright. Staff on top of bugs, the new content, and listening to the players! Way to go Cryptic!

Meaning, we can play the new episode without fear of losing those rewards?

Thank You.
So is there enough time to get the new FE in before the emergency maintenance happens or should I just hold off on that until its done?

I would wait
Though, after playing the (great) FE, something doesn't feel right. Wasn't Trendy's icon showing M'Tara juggling with a tribble?
