    Oh nooo.. Foundry shut down?

    That is all that is on my Ferengi's mission tracker, right now. LOL!

    More bugs. Video glitches in DSC missions, audio issues (dsc audio mixing with main audio). Cryptic should learn to undersell and over deliver, not the opposite.

    Whew! Glad I haven’t had time to play and won’t have time to play for a few days from what I’ve read. Hopefully this will be a one patch fix...fingers crossed!...

    Is that a Discovery sound effect I'm hearing when I warp out of a system, now? Is that appropriate for a 25th century ship, such as an Avenger being used by a 25c toon? I'm just asking because it's different than anything I've heard on this character/ship combination before.

    10/09 the launcher displayed the incorrect UTC details and the What time is it for me was correct. 10/10 the launcher displays the correct UTC details, but What time is id for me me is completely wrong. SMH

    Cryptic's reckoning of UTC is always wrong.

    @ambassadorkael#6946 the new shiny collar on the Disco uniform that we are supposed to be able to change colors for doesn’t actually allow for a change of colors... You know, when it was advertised that we could make our Disco uniforms look like Pike’s... is this on the list of “to do” or “to fix” items?

    Thanks!

    It works on an alien gen character but not human or Vulcan.

    They have made the TRIBBLE warp visual and sound locked to character instead of locked to ship. I’m hoping they update them to match the specific ships but I doubt it.

    They "forgot" to implement the promised extra color slot at least for female Vulcans. Had to change to "Shirt Simple" set the color, and then change back. Had to do that for all female BOFFs, male ones had the slot.

    Some people have reported that the warp sound changed on all of their characters, not just AoD ones. I hope that is a bug, not a deliberate change since it is rather annoying to say the least.

    Speaking of bugs, my AoD boffs all have the wrong traits (unless humans are actually supposed to have lizard strength or Vulcan neck pinch in DSC).

    Please revert my HUD to the compact style I used to have it instead of one long line. As mentioned above I think the Discovery sounds should stay in discovery characters.

    please delete this post of mine - it's no longer relevant (I checked and the issue doesn't exist on my steam setup now and the partial login issue - slowness in load (for 1st time only it was?)/time out, was solved)

    I appologize

    Yeah, because the event´s start time is UTC (again). Proofreading matters, @ambassadorkael#6946 ...

    Should we take down our sales before the exchange gets fixed?

    I assume that Andorians and Tellerites will come along later. Since this was rushed they probably need more time to do the changes for the Tailor.

    PC Patch Notes for 10/9/18 & PC Patch Notes for 10/10/18:
    oh H### NO!!!!
    I need to know, BEFORE PATCHING BEGINS, EXACTLY HOW BIG A GIVEN PATCH WILL BE.
    Long story short, I am stuck on a data plan where I have Metered Internet. Meaning I have to pace my daily usage so I do not exceed the monthly allowance.
    I, and others on metered networks/plans, need to know how big these patches will be.
    I will usually do a patch at home IF it is less than 100mb. IF it is LARGER than 100mb, I will go to a library or other location w/an unmetered network to do the patch.

    Removing the single most important piece of information from the launcher is not cool! This NEEDS to be restored. ASAP!!!

    T6 Nova/Rhode Island, T6 Oberth & T6 Constellation are needed. Also needed a T6 Science Cruiser, that can wear any Science or Cruiser skin.

    The first boff you get is a purple quality human with appropriate traits. Then you get a Vulcan with Bolian traits, a Human with Vulcan traits, and eventually a Human with what are probably Saurian traits.

    Wasn't impressed by the change to the launcher UI into babys first updater.

    The old version was much better in the way it showed how much was to be downloaded and how much had been patched.

    Kind of amazed they didn't opt for comic sans to emphasise the oversized ill-fitting font event more.

    It's almost like Cryptic just reused the Fed Tutorial BOFFs but put new hats on them...

    ...and then you get a Saurian with Brandy traits.

    It is available to change. I tinkered around with the uniform yesterday and was able to change the collar to black the main body of the uniform to gold pants to black etc. So I had no trouble. On the disco uniform the collar was the third color I think.

    If you are having difficulty loading. On the launcher change to safe mode. It should then load. Will load in windowed mode. You will need to then redo all necessary graphics screen size settings again. exit after redoing then relaunch again in normal mode, That should fix it.

    Very very few people in the world of MMO's are on metered plans. Most people have unlimited download plans etc. So PWE are going with the masses rather than the few.
