Ah, I was wondering why a tweet said June 31st. See ya folks after the maintenance later! /salute
-
Hello! Copy that. I guess it wasn't loading properly because I was patching earlier. Will try again now.
-
Thank you folks for the replies! Looking forward to firing up them engines (and setting phasers to fabulous) when I finish work tonight.

Hi @stormymav I know it's downtime right now, but I was wondering if I could request a bump-up of the links for applying to the United Federation of Planets? I'm currently patching the game while maintenance/downtime is ongoing, and https://ufplanets.com/ isn't loading for me (likely a bandwidth issue). I'm not sure where…

Thanks for the advice. I'm looking over what I should do to make a Damage-dealing Science Officer. So I'm considering dropping the minimum in science points for the purpose of being a Scientific Space DPS? How would you suggest I load 24 points into Science?

Heyo... So I'm trying to get into the game, but I run into this issue where it tries to retrieve the list of maps, but just disconnects every time. Not sure what to do. I can play other MMOs, such as WoW or TSW, without much issue though. Can anyone help?
-
Thank you for the input. :D It's most appreciated. :D

Hey folks. Thanks for the advice. As a game hopper, I have a tendency to want to support games I play, even if its just a short while. I might purchase a ten-dollar equivalent of zen but will not use it until I need to. Thanks again folks. :D

They have an Exchange Rate page for all their currencies: https://billing.perfectworld.com/exchange

Thank you for the info. Just got worried, is all. :D I switch games a lot, and I've not encountered a launcher that autopatches when you exit the actual game without a prompt.
-
Just a question, because I'm patching right now... I got disconnected from server, then exited the game, then the launcher just opened and began patching. Is this normal behavior for the patching process?
-
No worries. Thank you for trying to help. I'll post the info here to be sure. :D EDITED TO ADD: TRACERT INFORMATION - Tracing route to patchserver.crypticstudios.com [208.95.185.41] over a maximum of 30 hops: 1 <1 ms <1 ms <1 ms 192.168.10.1 2 7 ms 40 ms 20 ms 172.23.0.1 3 16 ms 8 ms 23 ms 111.68.59.161 4 6 ms 29 ms 4 ms…

Yeah. Added my tracert and ISP name to the list of rubberbanding folks on the top thread of this forum. Sadly, it seems there's something keeping my connection from running the nettest.exe as it always times out. Oh, and it gets worse. RIght now, my game always fails to load. It stops at Displaying List of maps... then…

Asssuming you're on windows and are an administrator account on the computer, right click the STO icon, then choose Run as Administrator and see if that works.

Hey there. Managed to get the game patched, and I've had a few hours of play in. However, I suffer from severe rubberbanding and server disconnect issues now. :(
-
Good day, I live in the Philippines, and basically, I dabble in a large number of MMOs, including LOTRO and The Secret World. I was wondering if you folks had a public channel I could join, as I'd like to be able to talk to people while I play, but am currently in a fleet with a handful of blogger friends and they come…

I seem to be having a really hard time playing STO. Rubberbanding in the tutorial bad. Anyway, I can only supply a tracert, as nettest just times out. :( I'm in the Philippines, and my ISP is Sky Broadband (http://www.mysky.com.ph/subpages/broadband.aspx) TRACERT Tracing route to patchserver.crypticstudios.com…

There appears to be a fix you can try for the patchclient error, which is to download the file being offered on this forum thread and installing it in the right place: http://sto-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=270847 If it doesn't work, make sure you placed it in the right spot... Best of luck. :) I'm having…

Hey Raident... um, I think we have different error messages. This solution might not work with your particular issue. :(
-
Thank you. Right now, I'm not actually in the game yet. Had issues with a patchclient error, to which I found a solution through someone offering the file that fixes the issue, but now I can't seem to patch the actual game through the STO interface where you login then have the news at the top. Searching through Support…

Just posting to say that this (http://sto-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=270847) managed to clear up my patchclient error, though I'm having difficulty patching the game. LOL. Will keep trying though.
-
that's true. I suppose it's a bit of my neuroticism shining through. :) That said, I shall take a look at the game from a critical newbie point of view, and post anything that strikes me as unexplained. Thanks again!
-
Thanks for the link. I knew there was a wiki for STO, but my google search got me sidetracked reading episode synopses on a Star Trek wiki. :D
-
Sounds fair enough. I'll play for a few hours and then post questions and impressions as needed. Apologies for jumping the gun. I get a bit nervous when going back to an old game I've not played in a while. Sometimes the learning curve gets really steep and it takes a few days for me to get a handle on things (this is in…
-
Thank you. I shall wait for my download to complete, and then I'll make updates with questions as needed. Right now, I'm reading the F2P matrix. :) Um... two additional things though: 1. Science Officers: How do I build one up in terms of statistics and whatnot? My memory is faulty, and my information is outdated. 2. Does…

Pardon me, but what is Dilithium for? Also, if I'm starting off as a low ranking officer, can I earn dilithium, or is it an endgame thing?
