Good question - of course, it might simply be an issue of having a test server where only those who have purchased the game can play. Honestly, right now, STO's live servers feel like a test server. It's not like we didn't have issues before maintenance: Account bank crashing the game, camera view, Na'Khul red alert, fleet roster/rank issues, etc. Now everything just went to hell with yesterday's maintenance. I really loved this game on PC when I played a few years back, but I've always been a console gamer. it's not like there aren't people playing on both PS4 and Xbox - plenty of instances are full, and I know people have spent a lot of money already - I'm at around $150 so far myself. PW's release of Neverwinter had issues, but nothing like this. Their support department also did a lot better job keeping everyone informed and acknowledging there were issues, unlike what has happned here. Like I posted on Reddit - one tweet, 19 hours ago, one forum comment, 19 hours ago, one reddit comment... again, 19 hours ago. I understand it is free to play, but I also know a lot of people who are playing have spent some money on this game. I understand games have bugs, but publishers and developers should be reassuring their player base, not seemingly brushing them off and leaving them be. I don't pretend to know what the problem is - and maybe Cryptic doesn't know either - but letting us know that, or giving us an idea of what is going on would go a long way to reassuring us that they care about us, the players, and not just making money. Console players can be a fickle group - a lot more then PC, and if they are not careful, they run the risk of losing a lot of the player base they have right now, which in the end could TRIBBLE those of us who want this game to be here and to succeed - those of us willing to invest in the game itself with real money and time.
So many bugs in this game. It makes it unplayable. Having major problems on new romulus with the warehouse mission using my fed toon. Cannot even progress. Cannot find a way to report any bugs on the console version either

Fleet anything Pve - crystal cataclysm only Pvp - again a big fat no

I was able to change ships... then got kicked back to space shortly after. Once I was able to get back into ESD, I got right back into my main ship haha. We were able to do all PvE queues, but I think that is more of an issue of how many people are actually queueing for it versus them not working.
Still no update on fix progress? The fact that Lockboxes are changing to faction specific Kelvin timeline boxes tomorrow seems like too big of a coincidence, seeing as how many of the bugs seem to be faction related. Whenever I get zapped back out of Earth Spacedock my transporter animation is either that of Klingon or Romulans. Anybody else getting this?

yeah, seems they could have made that determination yesterday, instead of letting the playerbase seeth in rightous anger for an entire day with a broken as #%^& game
they just said due to the problem, Fed captians were reconized as KDF, and vice versa, that might account for the problems beaming in
Took them long enough. I figured that out the moment it showed my fed character use the Klingon "beam out" graphics while being forcefully beamed out of ESD lol
The thing that gets me is that yesterday before maintenance they said "no new patch notes" and now the problem is likely because of a patch. Maybe they think us console folk less savvy but with better communication in the first place, maybe we could help identify or eliminate possible reasons for bugs.

I am just curious, but has this issue been fixed,, I deleted characters and the game thinking, that it was an issue on my end,, now i start over, and cant get into ESD to start Charaacter, Or atleast any type of ETA for the fix? and news would be great
I'm having the same issue on Xbox One this morning, and I've been having it since yesterday.
I'm either not able to dock with Earth Spacedock at all, or if I do get the option, it beams me to the teleporter pad and then immediately beams me out before I'm able to take any action.
Today:
Stuck at the end of the Mindscape mission set. Can't leave the NW Passage, stuck there with the USS Voyager.
After aborting that mission, I get the option to continue the same mission I just aborted. Hitting A, and accepting puts me back in the closed, no exit NW Passage. Instance change does nothing, abort doesn't abort, but it does get me out of the closed area.
Can't enter ANY instance if any kind > No events, No queues, No Incursions, No solar systems, No Earth Spacedock, no transwarp to Alpha quad, zip zilch NADA.
This all better be fixed with the maintenance patch !

just for the proof on one tweet
and seriously, they have found coding in string theory, i think we can dispense with all the cutsey roleplaying and just say there is a bug in reality
Agreed

On console, it is pretty active still... granted, we are only a month old.
Funny. Every time i enter a PVP match, people start leaving
im getting romulan sometimes i think

agreed
Xbox update has nothing to do with this lol
