Any one really surprised Cryptic won't: according to customer service emails, even though they could, compensate those negatively affected by the event daily bonus dilithium situation? Too much trouble to make right for the players & nothing to gain for Cryptic.
I feel more bad for any that paid real-world money/zen to use the buy-out event function to earn more dilithium since Cryptic markets it that way. Nicely done on the grifting, Cryptic, nicely done indeed!
I suppose a compromise would be extending the event by whatever number of days the non-paying dilithium occurred. It doesn't compensate players for lost time, but does offer the chance to still gain any extra dilithium that was missed-out on.
Try getting someone to play through the mission Midnight and see how many bugs you can find in that one alone.
Oh wait, it's not recent, we won't be seeing any fixes for them for another five years.
It is a bug not a lie.
A short changelog does not show how little work is being done. Also, remember COVID-19 is around and that could also be affecting what is contained in the recent patches as well. They are not blinded to anything that is not the latest offering. There will most likely be a lot of fixes when the Summer Event comes to town. They do care. Continue reporting bugs and wait patiently. Thanks.
I hope you are right but so far, the lie seems to be the more accurate description. Support has closed my ticket with the message...
"According to our engineers, this will require some back end magic on the side of Cryptic Studios.
I don't expect an earlier fix from the development team before Tuesday's weekly maintenance. You and others who are also having the same issue will need to remain patient as we all await a fix from the engineers at Cryptic Studios.
Once a fix has been implemented Cryptic and their staff will be sure to update the patch notes found on our news page here: https://www.arcgames.com/en/games/star-trek-online/news/index

That was back on July 6th. Today is July 23rd! There hasn't been a single thing announced at all on the issue!

Uh, event has passed hours ago, server still unavailable?

In the fifth trial the server came online or whatever, so never mind.
With today's maintenance, the Mudd's Stealing Time Bundle was supposed to end, and the next bundle (Mudd's Faith of the Heart) was supposed to start.
Instead, the Mudd's Stealing Time Bundle is still up and it says there's 11d, 19h, 50min (last time I checked) left to go for Stealing Time.
How is that so when right in the details page of the Mudd's Faith of the Heart it states: "the pack will release on August 4th,"? So please reread.

Sorry about the start for the new bundle, but please reread:
In addition, the original Mudd’s Choice Bundle will be leaving the market with the launch of this new bundle. As a last hurrah, it will be 50% off from today, 7/20, until maintenance on 7/23.
Why is the older one still up, regardless? At the very least that should have ended at maintenance, like I said before.
Yet it says that it has 11d 18h 16m 32s the last time I checked in the Zen store.
No need to be sorry, who knows how many times these type of things change. I still think that "Faith of the Heart" bundle, which I probably won't be buying, releases the same day as the Summer Event, Aug. 4th. I hadn't even noticed till you pointed it out about the other Mudd's bundle still being active. Once I hear about them & their details I consider buying it or not then if a definite "no" I'm pretty good at forgetting about it. My guess is: Cryptic needing/wanting to keep something around posted "for sale" but just a guess.
COVID-19 does have some effect on it. Read the thread that gives the summary of the recent Ten Forward Weeklys they say that it is very difficult to do in-game engine work through remote connection. As Kael has pointed out how hard it has been to work from home besides the cats and other things it is not as easy as you think it is.
If you are going to take my money to buy out and you do not deliver as promised it is called fraud, or a lie if you prefer, yes a lie as in untruthful.
Also, still watching for my prize from Cryptic from the beginning of the month, July 1st.

COVID-19 may be part of it, but also remember that we are just a couple of weeks away from the Summer Event. Whenever one of the major events starts getting close, the amount of bugfixes in a given patch start to decrease substantially likely due to more devs being involved in the "crunch time" needed to get said event ready for release. Of course, that doesn't mean the upcoming event won't have a few "major" bugs, but what event hasn't?
Good point.
