unfortunately I would disagree luke..as a person who works in the IT industry in any other business any major rollout whether its server/infrastructure updates or maintenance or product maintenance it is never just done on live servers at the expense of the customer. Thats how you lose business and staff at that. Any CTO would be fired if they told the owner of the company that 100% of their customer base cannot use their products or services for the entire day due to things that in most tech environments would be tested in a development environment before it even hit any of the live equipment. Maybe Cryptic should think about taking some of the money that people spend in these games and set up a proper testing environment.
Wait, did anybody say anything about this being a slap in the face, or haven't we gotten there yet?

Since the server was down for so long and the fact that most things are on a 20hr cool-down (instead of a true daily CD), it effectively makes the server down 'all day' at this point. There's little point to getting on today since all the cool-downs won't be done when I normally plan to play in the mornings. If Cryptic had cool-downs that reset each day at a specific time, then there would be a reason to get on today after the maintenance fiasco.
Sometimes I think I play STO just to have something to complain about on the forums.
