    Now, after posting the incorrect times on the pre-launcher which is in perfect line with your complete inability or unwillingness to communicate with your customers, you fixed the times yet now they're unfixed again as you take longer than announced. You are the absolute worst game company in the history of the world. Do you even get embarassed anymore? If I were you, Cryptic, I would refund every cent any person has ever spent on this game and go back to China. I would give just about anything for a competent developer to take over this game. Please give it to Blizzard for free.

    Uhm, i got confused with the timezones now... Witch one is it and what does that mean to me, sitting in Berlin? so it's like x.y hours away?

    Depending on what OS you are using, you may be able to set it up for dual times zones. I've got my desktop set up for Mountain Time (which is the time where I live) and Germany time, but you can have your main time set for Germany time and set up the second time for Pacific. At least you can on Windows 10, I think 8 also had that option, but can't really remember because I didn't look into it. When you want to check the alternate time in Windows 10, you hover over where the time is in the bottom right hand corner of the screen.

    don't you get 400 glossy pics (or whatever now) the first time? so it is actually 18 times.

    I know like 2 years ago I did... But I don't recall getting 400 last year on the first run... But then again memory is the first thing to go...

    The latest update on twitter is that maintenance has been extended another hour to apply an updated patch...i wonder if this has anything to do with neverwinters problems?

    Thx for the info, szim, psychopyro and whoever replyes, while i'm writing this.
    This sounds good, at least i think, i can manage to do those 25 runs.
    For the updates on Maintenance: where do you get the updated info from? (other than from this forum)

    Well there's the STO Twitter account where they usually publish their updates quite regulary. And then there's Reddit.

    Pro Tip: If one is going to do a bannable offense, DON'T do it in the GNN in a thread where everyone KNOWS Trendy is going to be monitoring it live. :D;)







    ...of course, better to just not do a bannable offense in the first place. ;)

    No, thats for Qmendations from anniversary events

    Glossy pictures was always 40 per race - doable once a day (or rather 20 hours cooldown)

    The pictures are also buyable from event store, but costs Lobi (i think 5 Lobi for pack of 6 pictures).

    I managed to get the ship on Tribble already :D

    I do not like its looks, but the stats and admirality card are nice.

    Then i switched to new toon on Tribble and i could not unlock Winter Store....

    Now they took Tribble down for some patch - maybe they are fixing it?

    Don't think you were playing WoW when garrisons hit...you'd think twice about using competent and Blizzard in the same sentence.

    As for your other would-be-points, they've posted the notice, the times until when, and the reasons it was delayed. You need to learn of patience.

    Sound like to me you have too much running in your background. My last computer was 8 years old and with first gen hardware and I still had no lag.

    Last year After update , I couldn't even get to ESD because all maps were full

    Thanks for extending downtime long enough to disenable me to play on the first day of the winterevent!
    Seriously, get a contract with a less terrible datacentre. -.-

    I placed all of my characters on ESD last night before I logged off. I didn't want to go through the hassle of having them travel to get to the Winter Event. Too bad Q had setup at some of the other social zones like DS9, New Romulus, Drozana, Nimbus...

    You do realize that the original times posted were quite correct at the time they were given.

    I won't be able to play till after I pick my grandyounguns from school, which will be after 3pm central.

    Hopefully it will be back up then.
    Now a LTS and loving it.
    Just because you spend money on this game, it does not entitle you to be a jerk if things don't go your way.
    I have come to the conclusion that I have a memory like Etch-A-Sketch. I shake my head and forget everything. :D

    Thanks pigsbane and hagar, thus the last thing i will do is set up a third timeframe in my os just for that (and i will only get rid of win7 if there is no oter way...).
    I mean i suppose even my programming knowledge would be enough to display a clock showing the actual time in pst in the launcher. Or make it Stardate ;) Anyways, as log as this thing wil work in some time... Now server is still down but now maintenance-notice shown at all... Well there is worse things out there. Like the foundry... Suppouse they make that because of reasons.

    Well, still looking forward to the event and writing nonsense with my not-so-good english is actually fun and kills time....

    Seriously? 1130 now? This is becoming a bad habit. I'm thinking some training in prior planning should be the next bug fix.
    I don't think you have enough information to justify this suggestion.

    I am laughing so hard here at the fact they seem to think Blizzard would do a better job. Doubt they were around WoW for the Zul'Gurub bug :D. And that's just to mention one thing.

    Omg, that one too.

    Ooooooh!!! Can I hire them for my house? Permanently???

    That said, all MY Feline Tech Reps do is mash on the keys and change my laptop settings when I'm out of the room if I don't lock the screen every time I get up. :D

    Can you keep the servers down for another 3 hours until I get home from work?

    Why would you wanna hire them? Only one kitten is actually working, the other 3 are just pretending. It's outrageous! :D
