    It is not 12:00 EST yet. So no we do not know if we will have an April Fool's Day joke today.

    Edit: It came out 11:30 EST. Happy April Fool's Day!

    21-day First Contact Event. We got the April Fools joke earlier than expected. :)

    The beeboops sound effects are annoying I can say that much about April Fools STO.
    Also is there anything in the exploding Mystery boxes? Like if you do it enough times you get a reward? Or is it simply nothing but explosions and repetitions?

    Some talk of a T6 token... but no evidence to support it right now.

    You can turn them off if you so desire.

    Kurland here.

    But every time he says 'Kurland here' it counts as two seconds against his total ten minutes speaking as a non-SAG VO. That's why they were keeping him hidden in the Cargo Bay. :)

    Did April Fool's already end? I thought it was a 24 hour event like it usually is.

    The devs have a bit of a history of not understanding time zones or caring about the player base in other timezones.

    Who knows why they choose to run these events and end them while a part of the player base it asleep so they never get to see it. Bit like the old flash sales which where impossible to take part in because they would start and end before we got out of bed. Its just bad design when someone can play for few hours a day every day at the same time and never see these events because they take place midnight to 8am.

    I think it's less about not understanding timezones and more to do with the fact that there's a single worldwide server thus it's literally impossible for them to make these events so that they wouldn't be at an inconvinient time for someone. If there was a seperate servers for EU, US and possibly Asia this wouldn't be an issue but the fact of the matter is that those servers would cost a lot of money to get and maintain.

    Yeah I'd love it if the maintenance wasn't from 15:00 to 18:30 for me but fact of the matter is there's 10 hours time difference between me and where the Cryptic offices are so if the maintenance was at convinient time for me it would be at highly inconvinient time for Cryptic.
