    Sounds like something good is in the works if you need an extra day.

    I think its so The Show can't criticize the patch. If it is coming out a day later, that will mean they have to do that next Wednesday.
    The Rising of the Delta is the best expansion ever, and people love it to death because it is a good day to die in the endless struggle for supremacy of your own conviction. (A spin off of the Delta Rising is the best expansion ever and all the players love it.)

    Ouch. They're not THAT negative ;)

    Borticus has been working on a new system. It may have impacted this release. Or they've solved the missing gear issue I've had, and they're working on a fast release ;) 'Cause its all about me.

    Hope it's nothing too serious.

    It wouldn't happen to be anything related to the white page of "Internal Server Error" message I keep getting this evening...

    Boyh here and Neverwinter.

    A patch gone awry? Somehow I wouldn't be surprised.

    ^ ..... At least this gives everybody who hasn't acquired the Anniversary Ship an extra day and a half to still get it.

    Also means that the Bonus Marks Event this weekend will be one day shorter.

    I should have thought of this earlier but will changing patch day keep the weekly rewards from the current FE from resetting?

    Not likely. The FE rewards are tied to timing, not maintenance.

    Isn't the Anniversary through 2/25 not 2/18? That's what the calendar says, along with the upcoming . . . XP . . . weekend. Uh, never mind :)

    i thought i should mention that the maintenance banner on the loader needs changing to refle.. *takes a long sip of morning coffee, with its splash of maple syrup* ..ct, oh.. already says the 19th.

    far better to move the maintenance, than rush it.. also think i prefer to see it in a positive light, over a negative. hoping there is some news for those of us with the problematic Dyson ship unlock this year.. buuut, waited 2 years so far (v nice that they let us complete it) so time isn't really an issue, i think at this point, i'd settle for a wee nod in our direction, with maybe a wee footnote saying 'its on the books, watch this space'

    while a Thursday with no maintenance will make for more play today; shunting my patch activities to a Friday.. unbethinkable bafflmanicment!!​​

    Maybe they fixed the follower AI and somehow made ground combat playable. It'd be nice to finish the fire caves without swearing at my computer.

    good news: since they removed Cage of Fire as a playable mission, you don't have to bother with the fire caves at all!​​

    The hamsters announced their strike for tomorrow so the dev team decided that it'd be better to hold maintenance then.
    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.

    Whatever it is that must make it into this week's patch notes this badly, it's okay, take your time.

    The tribbles running the server's warp core won't strike because of today's overtime, I hope. :3

    Maybe they've found a way to stop the Kobali Split Beam Rifle from randomly changing from 'crossbow' appearance to a standard polaron rifle when fired...?

    Seriously, though - is this just for this week's maintenance, Trendy, or is it likely to become the new 'regularly scheduled time'?

    I'm fine with this, as long as the next patch won't f*ck up the game and start crashing to desktop again. This week was great as the game crashes for me very rarely happened and everything was running fine. So I would like if it would stay that way.

    Considering how broken some stuff makes it to Holodeck, this definitely shows that something is severely messed up.

    Don't get to worked up - it's Cryptic-wide, not just STO. Neverwinter and Champions are also going down tomorrow. What's funny is that on each forum, the people think it's something to do with *that* game and speculate on this or that thing being worked on. Probably, the main netops person was on PTO today or something is all, or they're having some boring all-day workshop on foot odor sensitivity or whatever.

    Let maintenance run for as long as it needs to for stuff to get fixed properly.

    About the bonus rep marks weekend, I guess we lose a day of that then?

    It's not just me then? The game has crashed repeatedly for me during this last week, most often when I call up the browser window to check something.

    I demand maintenance be today so I can hear the others complain!

    Kidding of course, but still good to know. I work tomorrow too so am not bothered by it.

    Agreed! Especially if it helps prevent the server from being hammered by DDoS attacks.
