So, the winter zone won't be fixed to stop cheaters and exploiters from winning the pvp race, then?
Only 8 days left in the event. Highly doubtful they'll fix the flag exploit. Now if you're talking about bunny hoppers, I thought jumping was a valid mechanic.
Should have been fixed 2+ weeks ago..
Not talking about bunny hoppers, just the flag exploit and people being able to use trait's and kit powers to gain an advantage.
We're extending our maintenance today by 30 minutes. We'll keep you updated.
Curious question, Why not just schedule for the "extended downtime" as it is a regular thing as of late. This provides yall the chance to work with out having to worry about the forums, as well provides the customers a morale boost if your completed before that extra half hour is needed. I feel that seems to be a better solution then saying, oh well we need to extend it another 30 minutes.
Most MMOs that I have played schedule blocks of 4-5 hours for there weekly downtime, others like EVE Online do regular downtime every night. Which is one of my favorite ideas yet. Just a thought. Hope the server is back up soon.
Huh, for some odd reason I thought today was the last day for the Winter Event. Kinda glad I was wrong but now all that grinding I did to get outfits for my alts seems excessive. Aw well, now I should be well stocked for next year.
Or I could buy EVERYTHING this year has to offer and then start cold next year.
OR go shatbit crazy and try getting everything this year AND stock up for next. Hmmm, what to do, what to do...

My guess: because if they routinely use a certain block of time we'll start expecting it done within that window anyway, because humans are good at pattern recognition. That'll still lead to the "is it done yet?" comments when more time is required and the response "no, it'll take a little bit longer" either from other people here or from Cryptic. It'd be the exact same as now, only with an informal system that's impenetrable to newbies (who might take it at face value that downtime scheduled for, say, 4 hrs=4 hrs, and won't bother checking up on STO during that period). :P

well, traits are still a valid mechanic and kits should be disabled already except for the WW specific devices.
