Launcher said to check the forums, but there is not one word as to what the extended maintenance tonight is about. Still two days until patch.

    Star Trek Online will have extended maintenance on all platforms tomorrow, 3/15, at 5am PT. Estimated downtime is 4.5 hours for Console and 5.5 hours for PC. You can find the Console patch notes below, there are no patch notes for PC:

    Well the console part is the anniversary start, which will be introducing new assets into the game.

    Not to mention on all platforms the server hamster has been performing like an asthmatic ant with heavy shopping (an internet will be rewarded for getting the reference). So that warrants a couple of extra hours.

    They patch on Thursdays and, occasionally, Tuesdays. It is nothing out of the ordinary.

    I'm on Xbox it's 3/15/ 2022 @ 2:09 pm EST it keeps telling me " The server is unavailable at this time ". Does anyone know where I can find out what the Xbox server status is?
    The only thing I get when I search for server status with todays date is patch notes..

    Well, hamster feeding time has been stretched out for an extra 2 hours now.

    Guess they've had to go out and buy new ones.

    EDIT: Yep, looks like they have to buy new ones. Even the core engineers are involved.

    I think today they're also changing various 'splash' pages and doing infrastructure changes related to the fact they're now owned by Gearbox and are no longer a PWE/PWI game studio (IE - The sale officially 'went through').

    That's good news about the Gearbox deal going through..
    Hopefully some changes will happen now and things will actually work for a change no more bugs that never get fixed and some customer support that actually gets back to you without just closing your tickets without a response or an attitude like your tickets are an inconvenience to them.
    They have the worst customer support I've ever had to deal with. Gearbox on the other hand is one of the better companies for customer support I've dealt with in the past with Borderlands.

    Last I saw (on FB), they ran into unexpected issues with the console patch and were debating whether to keep things off until they fixed it, or roll back to the last patch so console players can at least play.

    Due diligence is over now huh?

    At worst it'll be same old, same old. Hopefully though that means some new staff.

    Seems they decided to keep the xbox servers offline all day. Still says unavailable. Oh well, I'll happily play ESO.

    About once every quarter or so they do a major Server maintenance day. So today in theory is them patching the servers. Not patching the game.

    If you're looking for updates on the console, Ambassadorkael is giving updates in a thread in the " Galactic News Network [Console]" it's titled "Crashing issue on console, game is still locked"
    He has been giving updates there..
    Hope that helps anyone looking for information..

    They are always working very hard to feed them, when they get off the treadmill. ;)

    Can't they just use the replicators?
    Some advice.
    Don't.

    Replicated space hamsters never come out quite right. They end up either miniature or giant, not both.
