    They just released a system message ingame stating that they are aware of the map-transfer issues, and that they are *looking* into it.

    I also agree. If they Cryptic and Atari know there is issues logging and loading the game why until Sunday to patch and perform maintainence. I subscribed to Lifetime membership. I like this game and was just starting to get somewhere. Now I cannot even log in, this is annoying. Cryptic please get this fixed ASAP.

    Maybe the 33% off on Steam is to blame? SO cheap so soon?

    When the game runs properly it is a blast but this is ridiculous!

    I would have to agree. May as well take it down and fix it now. If the Fix Isn't ready it isn't going to matter if you can't login or play once you are logged in.

    Apperentyl from what Ive read in other threads it is a database issue and they have to develop a fix for it first, so bringing down the servers now would serve no other purpose than creating a 1000 differnt threads about why is the server down as opposed to the 1000 threads about not being able to zone.

    MOre like how many subscribers now. 100,000+ ?

    Who is going to pilot a lower ship when they move to a higher one, that is wasted points that should move to the next level ship automatically.

    As of the Season One patch the points scale up. As in all the points you use at all the levels work at RA.

    Seriously, doesn't anyone even read the patch notes anymore.

    Its called a rollback. Rather common when game breaking issues like this one pop up after a patch. Ever think of that?

    IMO they need to focus more on making the game enjoyable, and less on designing skins for new playable races....

    It's really just kind of sad.

    Unfortunately, there is nothing anyone can do but wait. I will, however, agree with those who have posted there is no point in waiting until 3 am PDT to take the servers offline. This should have been done when the issue with the PvP maps was first recognized IMO. That's not a minor bug with an acceptable workaround. I'd call it a gamebreaker that warrants a rollback to the previous state until the issue can be identified.

    Don't wait until 3 am. Do the rollback now. The game is unplayable anyway and it would seem that the majority are unable to login. It doesn't make much sense to put it off.

    It's getting worse by the patch.

    Cryptic get your stuff together and fix the damn game, people are paying to play not to look at loadingscreens or count how many times they crashed each day .....

    i can't even get in, i pick my character and then it hangs on loading then disconnects from server -aka- times out

    psst you guys should have a beta server for the public to test new content before having it go live in game to avoid this in the future

    With all the money we are paying to "PLAY" which I will point out I'm not playing you would think they would have tested it long before launching any patch......

    I concur with your statment.............

    I say give us a dicount or give me something for this ......

    Hmm I am not sure if you are just being ironic here or not. Maybe add a :D if it was a joke.

    If you were serious however. *points at Tribble server* Which incidently worked fine with all this stuff, only things that weren't available were the C Stores things. *Stabs Tribble of Borg"

    I'd agree with you that it most likely isn't ready yet. However, coding whatever fix that needs to be implemented needs an appropriate amount of testing time as well. Whatever caused the PvP maps to de-rank players does not appear to be a minor problem, nor are the stability issues they are incurring as we type.

    It seems to me that the most efficient and safe thing they can do is roll back to the previous state prior to whatever patch was put out this morning. The game was at least stable without de-ranking anyone. Then they can take the time to properly test whatever fix they are making for the PvP maps etc.

    I'd rather have them get it right and not rush out an emergency patch that's going to cause more problems than it is intended to fix just so it can be done quickly.
