Looks like same issue.. Before the emergency maintenance, I'd had occasional issues with login to authentication server. After maintenance things seemed to work for a while, but then something apparently broke. Now account server still works, I can log into servers and the client manages to load up the character list.…

Well I don't really care all that much if the game's down a few hours, or a few days.. but since this event is for limited time, I hope this downtime will be reflected somehow in it. Extending the end of the event by a few days would do some good.

Not too shabby. The fed side ship and console are pretty much useless I think, but kdf side the bio-neural is very nice freebie. It's interesting device to put into aft weapon slot for a ship. I play fed side romulan though, so both second and third day were kind of miss for me - but so it goes.
-
This is probably true, and why I'm thinking it's not a likely scenario - and the ship is in fact comparable in 'tier' to other 9-console ships. There are still unknown factors though - like, how does the secondary deflector compare to extra console slot? Since the slot itself is named 'Secondary Deflector', and the only…

The ship itself looks pretty nice, I like the versitile sci/tactical concept a lot. The time-limited grind system on the other hand I don't like at all. Forcing people to return daily for a few minutes to do a mindless repetitive task isn't fun in any way, so why lock a ship behind such a system? It may be ok to do…

There is an ancient Chinese fable called "The Foolish Old Man Who Removed the Mountains". It tells of an old man who lived in northern China long, long ago and was known as the Foolish Old Man of North Mountain. His house faced south and beyond his doorway stood the two great peaks, Taihang and Wangwu, obstructing the way.…

Dyson rep needs zero XP, period. Zero EC, zero resources whatsoever. All you need to do is one of the daily missions for 40 days. Dyson rep isn't the issue, the problem are the Nukara, Omega and Romulan factions if you are playing a character that hadn't done those yet. Myself, I started working on the factions only some…

My guess would be, space traits have more potential to unbalance game since you use space BOFFs always when flying ship - where as ground BOFFs are generally stand-ins for human players when you don't have full group. And human players will generally outperform BOFFs, even traited ones. Well, I hope I can somehow transfer…

The whole credit thing is (IMNSHO) poor design for supposedly co-op zone. If you want co-op you don't make people fight over resources. If you do, then it's perfectly obvious that people will do what they can to reap the benefits. The solution would be simple: either make it so that those credits drop individually, or make…

I would think this is about a complitely different issue - wouldn't the 'chat banning' refer to automatic muting when someone gets reported by sufficient number of players for spamming?
-
With no response to your ticket, I presume you can be pretty sure you're now treading on eggshells. Problem is the word you refer to, is by far not the only word that can trigger the system - so at that point any of the unknown number of undisclosed 'banned' words could get triggered from any kind of in-game communication…
-
That's a bit gray area, but it can be argued that in lifetime subscription you pay for 'all the months, for as long as the game is alive', or 'for all the months, as long as I have interest to the game'. You've still paid for any days during which you would have liked to play, but couldn't. As such, it reduces the value of…

The system is confirmed by PWE to be 'in place and working the way it should' (page 3 on this thread, you can follow the link in my sig for the comment).
-
Patch notes look good, here's hoping. Perhaps the 'stability fixes' help for what seems to be the server going down to it's knees after it's been running consistently for about 24 hours or so. Here's hoping. Well, I admit to slightly mixed feelings about this. I didn't have too much issues with this mission on normal…

Colored by me for emphasis. Disclaimer: I'm aware your job is extremely difficult. I'm aware you aren't the one who's designing this flawed system, or one who's responsible for it, or making decisions regarding it. As such, any critique I express towards it, isn't directed at you personally, but rather directed through you…
-
I imagine it would be violation of something, if the person continued it after being informed (preferrably officially) that they are doing something wrong. As far as I know this system has not been publicly announced, and so depending on situation and context, there is no certainty that the person asking something on chat…
-
Sure, I don't mind at all. It was the main reason I put the sig up in the first place - I don't post very much on the forums so it won't show up in many places.. but if it makes a couple people aware of the issue, and gets them to warn their fleets about the potential ban.. then it's served it's purpose. I've also…
-
Well... actually it should be plain and obvious that the system is driving away customers - since that's exactly the designed functionality of it. Banned person is by definition no longer a customer. :P
-
Ok... I think... that just has to go into sig. :confused:

While the OP's issue was slightly different, something similar could happen simply like this: 1) Person A returns to game after having been away for 3 months. 2) Person A discovers there are 50 messages in inbox, and goes to read them. 3) Person A sees 2 messages are fleetmembers asking 'where did you vanish' and 48 are…

1) Intercept the 'spam' message and prevent it from being sent to recipient (same as now) 2) Forcibly teleport player to ship bridge - this is to take them out of harm's way for following steps in case they were in middle of combat or the like.. but also to make them realize that something important just happened - so…

I've heard of other bugs in the mail system, and it's possible it's indirectly related yes. I have exactly one message in my mailbox though, so at least I'm not over the cap.. and the bug crashes the whole game client - and happens the instant I try to place the BO into the slot. Other items do not cause the same problem..…
-
Not to mention, a 24 hour chat ban would be just as effective basically, for the actual reason for the system.. since it's easy enough for spammers to bring in new accounts to keep spamming. And once they get one account banned, they can just dodge the system by using any of countless variations of the word. It's just..…
-
This is beyond ridiculous. First they corrupt the system channels by spamming the lottery winners there all day, so everyone is either turning the channel off, or if not, you'll just learn in the very Pavlovian fashion to totally ignore anything in yellow text - and then some meager message thrown to that dysfunctional…
-
This is my assumption too. Back .. was it yesterday..? the server was going to it's knees, server lag was falling to around 30 seconds and more even when just moving items in the inventory. I'm guessing they kept the servers running too long at that point. That would mean that it 1) makes sense to boot the servers every…

Also, is **** hits the fan due to the patch, you'll have your full workday to fix it / rollback, without it going overtime. It's the most reasonable time to do the maintenance, overall - even if here in EU it's a bit meh.
-
I don't know about the superiority of the rom cloak - seems to me when my singularity goes up, I'm pretty much target whether my cloak is up or not, the difference being when the cloak is up I don't have shields. It's possible they'll loose some players, but that'll happen regardless. I think the turnaround of playerbase…
-
How about we remove the universal BO slots from B, except for one LC slot. In exchange we could give it one extra ensign slot. That should be a good trade, yes? Lets also make it's battle cloak slowly fade while it's in combat, and in turn we could give it a bit more hull and shields. We should also cut it's power levels…

About GPU heat, you could try setting options -> video -> advanced -> troubleshooting -> reduce CPU/GPU usage = on, and possibly Limit Frame Rate = 60, although the latter likely isn't needed. 10ms sleep per frame isn't a huge deal if you have powerful enough GPU, and I find it can reduce heat generation a lot. For my…
