3 hours downtime at the worst time

[Turican76]

good companies don't do long maintenance during prime time. blizzard does that in the morning. eve online does this every day but it only takes 5mins.

btw fix the bugs

They dont give a ♥♥♥♥ about prime time, they barely have any employees working on the game in the first place. They will milk the game as much as they can and it will shut down soon. The content is less and less every year, even less gamble ships. There used to be so much more. You get a few episodes per year instead of entire arcs, entire new factions, new reputations. There is barely any new content and the new one that comes out is always broken and buggy, even very expensive ships. I have over 5000 hours and have played since 2012 and I can tell you this game is on its last breath.

I have to disagree with you. The game might not get the content has it did before. It was reported by Kael a while ago that the game still makes very good money. I don't buy lock boxes or ships anymore to support the game. If we can get a few more years before maintenance mode I would say we are good to go. If Paramount keeps putting out Star Trek movies and series I would say we are good.

Given the server's in the US, prime time doesn't happen until later in the day. Unfortunate for our European friends, but given Cryptic is a US company based in the US with a US server, early morning US time is probably best to do maintenance.

Agreed with everything else Captain Trump said though. STO definitely feels like it's on a downward slant for the past couple of years now.

ya they said it was going to shut down 10 years ago. There's more content now then ever.

They DO do it "in the morning". They're California-based, and in that time zone it's from 7-10 AM. That way they have the rest of their working day to make any emergency fixes.

It just happens that works out to being "prime time" in certain other time zones.

what do you think downtime is for?

Seeing as I'm from the West Coast and @ work during " Prime Time " 7am-9:30am this works for me.

There is no such as prime time anymore.

When its time to get something important done fast its usually a thousand miles until sunrise delivery and we are late already, get going for the night is nigh.

I dont even worry about the maintenance times. Its part of Internet and modern computers such as they are.

Yesterday at 4 my time Steam went down as usual and the various downdetector sites along with live tracking sites lit up with thousands of people unable to log in (Including myself) for a few minutes. It was not necessarily the down time but the no notice or banners made.

They came back up in a few minutes. So tuesdays will be considered a trouble fix it day and they will do it again next tuesday. No problem.

It's always prime time somewhere.
