This is stupid. I couldn't do "Butterfly" last night because the servers crashed. Now when I try again 10 minutes ago, it crashes again!
Get your s&%t together Cryptic, I'd like to be able to finish the Iconian war sometime before the next century!
Well storywise its literally the worst mission in STO. However the mission rewards make it worth suffering through.
I've played all the Iconian stories on my Tac character, am TRYING to get my sci character through them as soon as possible. The idea was to burn my way through both missions yesterday night and have it done with.
Then the server crashed so I thought I'd go to bed instead and finish off the two eps today. Here I am, 5 minutes logged in, just preparing to give Butterfly another run and it effing crashes again.
As for storyline of Butterfly the whole freaking Iconian War storyline blows chunks in so many ways I've lost count of how much stupidity I've seen from both sides. My friends and I have renamed it the "Idiot War" after some of the sheer stupidity of the writing.
I'd be happy to share the exact reasons I find the Idiot War so terrible if you like?
Connection to the login server timed out.
Press the Support button for addtional help.
And the D/C couldn't happen at a worse time. Been waiting over an hour for the Secrets of the Tal Shiar mission on Nimbus to pop... Killed 5 out of 20 Tal Shiar and then crashed to the login screen.
The hell you doing wasting your time there? Just wait for the Giant Scorpion a few feet away. Spawn time is about three times more often and the reward's the same.

Yes please elablorate. Plenty of time while they fix the servers.
On for all of 7 seconds before I got the boot... If the "rumor" mill is true, and this is another DDoS attack, truly shame-on-you, Cryptic/Arc! You can't run STO on Windows NT forever... Eventually you'll have to spring for the $180 10 Pro. Smdh
Dev 1:"Whats just happened?"
Dev 2:"I'll go have a look.....wt!...who's plugged this vacuum into the server power socket!....unplug it now!"
Cleaner: "Noooo! me clean now!"
Well the whole krenim ship thing was plain stupidity and very red herring. Of course it probably woulda been worse if it hadn't been a red herring.
Also, the fact they totally forgot about the OTHER time travel options we could have used to defeat the iconians/stop the war, presenting the krenim ship as the ONLY option even though we know from just the previous storylines that there's other ways.
"He shall be my finest warrior, this generic man who was forced upon me.
Like a badass I shall make him look, and in the furnace of war I shall forge him.
he shall be of iron will and steely sinew.
In great armour I shall clad him and with the mightiest weapons he shall be armed.
He will be untouched by plague or disease; no sickness shall blight him.
He shall have such tactics, strategies and machines that no foe will best him in battle.
He is my answer to cryptic logic, he is the Defender of my Romulan Crew.
He is Tovan Khev... and he shall know no fear."
Why do they insist on using twitter and other hipster social media instead of coming to the forums and letting the general population know what is going on, and what they are doing about it??
Probably because they're busy doing things about it
I'd rather they work on getting the server back up, than make sure they've posted in every possible spot that the server is down. But Trendy usually does a good job of keeping us informed, when she has something useful to share with us.
For now, the server is down - I think that's fairly obvious. When they know why, they'll either bring it right back up, or tell us what the problem is.

You want THAT running the servers? I'm gonna upgrade to 8 as soon as I can!
Yes. I'm serious. I find Windows 8 BETTER than the junk that is Windows 10.
Besides, Windows 10 is basically an updated version of Windows NT. All NT is is the framework for the current verisons of Windows.
well now the servers are down (well they are forever down...) what bugs me most if the obvious denial of the map changing crashes that happen... the servers failing is an annoyance. the constant crashing is plain infuriating. and the advice they give shut down reboot disable stuff... its not a computer issue as its not doing Blue screen of death or crashing to windows... and 3 days to reply to a bug report? come on. come on cryptic, get with it. DDoS attacks are one thing but come on get it sorted

8! Seriously, that cloggy piece of software is well rid of. 10 is far less wasteful in my laptop's resources. It's 6 years old and now runs way more faster on 10 than it ever did on 7 and 8!
"You don't want to patrol!? You don't want to escort!? You don't want to defend the Federation's Starbases!? Then why are you flying my Starships!? If you were a Klingon you'd be killed on the spot, but lucky for you.....you WERE in Starfleet. Let's see how New Zealand Penal Colony suits you." Adm A. Necheyev.
How random is that, just got booted off the EU warships server while torping a carrier, decide to have a quick blast of this and this server's down too.
Might just give it up as a lost cause and go to bed with a book.

The System is Down.

SERVER NOT RESPONDING (362.32s)
Patching 87 files, 160.08 KB/s
Take it from one dumb enough to have gotten one duing the Summer Event-it's totally not worth it. Not til STO works properly anyways.
Pfft. If you want to spend money on something that'll give you constant headaches, just get a dubstep album.
it would be cheaper lol
