Greetings Captains!
We will be having a maintenance tomorrow, 9/11 at 5AM Pacific on all platforms. PC is estimated to be down for 6.5 hours, Console is estimated to be down for 5 hours. (What time is this for me?)
You can find our PC patch notes here. No Patch notes for Console, just routine maintenance.

Continuing to wait for more substantial updates.
Well, where I am, it's still 9/12. So maintenance is still tomorrow. 9/13.

Hello rubber banding my old friend, time to bounce around the battlezone again, where are all my bug reports going?, out of love with this game I am falling, As Cryptic fail to acknowledge a problem exists, Shakes an angry fist, And from Support all I'm hearing are the sounds of silence.
Maybe they have lots of this to do
(Warning this video is 10mins of the same action caught in a temporal loop)

Why are we having ANOTHER 5hr downtime 2 days later (the 13th)?! I just got ZEN and want to spend it... in 3 days 10hrs of downtime, not even in WoW did this happen! lol
Exactly. I gave up on my Engineer captains since 2 of their space powers are broken completely. My temporal drain powers seem to be unreliable, within range and with full entropy the consumer does not consume or drain shield or replenish my own shield. Reports of more broken space traits, broken risian corvette console, pets that still do not reliably respond to player commands (dock, wait, nothing; intercept/attack/defend, dock, wait, nothing), and that's in addition to un-fixable core code issues such as powers not activating on toggle unless keybound, and we just lost the 2nd keybinding row, and zero keybind rows on Jem'Hadar, HUD being a massive FPS hog, still seeing FPS abilities that cripple high end gaming computer.
Although I agree with you (while we're at it let's throw the cloaking bug of 2011 in) but bugs are not easy to fix always. There's a balancing act in fixing and maintaining the existing content whilst pushing new content. On one hand you have to try to keep the game playable. Secondly, you have to make sure the bugs are being addressed methodically. Thirdly, when new content is pushed out, more bugs are destined to show up, thus putting a strain on my aforementioned points. Finally, the devs also have to address the longevity of the game which requires more content and so the cycle starts anew. You would hope they would already have this cycle(system) down, however it seems they do not as far being balanced with it.

> First, you are wrong, my brother played WoW for years, 10 hours of downtime in a week was not even uncommon. Second, due to requirements Cryptic has to operate under with both Microsoft & Sony, the console versions of STO often can't be patched on Thursday when PC id patched.
I started playing WoW like a month after it came out and I just recently stopped playing... I've NEVER seen a 10hr downtime for maintenance.
Now there has been times when the servers had issues due to weather etc... but not for maintenance.

Cryptic/Arc are updating their server hardware. When this was done last month, we were told about it well in advance so we could prepare for it. This time, they haven't said a word. Just springing it on us and not mentioning anything that this week is just week one of three. As eazzie posted earlier with the link they supplied, there will be more maintenance next Tuesday the 18th and the Tuesday after, the 25th.
Now, why we can't be informed of these maintenances on the official forums and have to dig around to find this information is a bit strange.

As already posted. There is extended ARC maintenance https://www.arcgames.com/en/arc-news/detail/10999993 Just to clarify. Age of Discovery is NOT an expansion. It is a content update.

I used to use Arc for the "Arc Points" system they had, to earn some extra Zen, but since that feature has gone away, I don't even bother with Arc anymore. And I never use Arc to load and play the game, unless I make a new alt and I want the Khan outfit, since you need to log into the character while using Arc to get it.
If anything, with Arc being down it gives Cryptic a window to do their own server maintenance, adding or replacing hardware, which I believe is exactly what is happening.
There's still 2 more weeks of this, though you'd never know it by what we get told here on our official forums.

I complained about that on the ARC FB page...but still nothing about the extended maintenance from PWE over here.
