Cryptic's literally handing things out for free, and people still find a reason to complain. I for one appreciate the gesture, and I can't wait to see what they have planned for the rest of the week.
You and I just differ on this, I guess. I consider him comic relief because, with the exception of a few occasions, Scotty always had a humorous quip about the current situation. Sometimes it was very subtle humor, but it was humor nonetheless.
Yeah but that's not even close to what he did in nu-Trek, so your argument goes out the window. I'd like to add that comic relief doesn't mean always on goofball, man. Scotty in TOS was comic relief more often than not.
Did we watch the same series? Kirk was the hero archetype, Spock was the straight man, Bones was the wit, Scotty and Chekov were the comic relief... That's just how it was, man.
Keep in mind that Starfleet's regulations are not the same regulations as current naval and student/teacher relations. Even now though, if both the teacher and the student are above the age of consent in their area, they are allowed to do whatever they want to, for the most part. People might frown on the relationship, but…
* Chekov WAS a teeny bopper with a "stupid accent" * Sulu's the wrong nationality? What about Khan being white? * Scotty's always been comic relief, and the Scottish accent is actually more accurate from Simon Pegg than from Doohan * No comment * Again, no comment * Oh yes, please tell me how exactly Uhura is a "TRIBBLE",…
Regain your patience by doing something else, ffs. There are plenty of other games out there, there's a ton of stuff you could be doing besides getting cranky every time this happens.
It's not more servers they need, it's a bigger server. All of the games are hosted on the same server, IIRC, and it's divided up into parts. It's not "cheap", either, for you folks insisting it is. It's a common practice, and it's to save space primarily. I take it you don't play very many MMOs, then.
How do you figure that? The server issues are supposed to be brought to light through beta. If anything, I'd say it's a success, because it draws attention to a problem they're having, and they can get on fixing it as such.
