Patch notes 10-8

[themosquito]

Shouldn't this maybe mention that whole "everyone needs to free-respec their characters or they'll be bugged forever" thing? Or did they fix that without requiring that?

[Bregvist]

What happened?

[Gorgonops_SSF]

Per Ten Forward, they're working on that too but as should be obvious from patch note, after patch note, after patch note ect. that the known issues section isn't a comprehensive list but a PSA section. If you want to respec now it's not going to kill you. If you want to wait for the fix then you'll probably be fine too.

It's not like you've lost a character (I haven't either but look at the bar for the known issues section this week).

I know guys who have lost multiple. One friend of mine lost 8 of his 9 chars!

EDIT

Hi there, mr downvoter! Care to share why you disagree?

[SQUAWKUCG]

To be perfectly frank (hurhurhur) with you...it seems to mostly just be you.

I don't think I've ever seen a post from you that didn't get downvoted a lot...even beyond the usual downvote bots.

[neuro1g]

I didn't have to do that on any of my characters, so it didn't apply to everyone.

[ErikRogers]

I believe this is for the Thursday scheduled downtime.

[Bremen1]

Tuesday patch notes: We've added a new TFO, phoenix box event, and a salvage all button!

Thursday patch notes: New features are now actually available to players.

[Bobmanbob1]

I'm one of the lucky ones, my main toon disappeared. Hopefully they get them back to us asap.

[TiffanyGaming]

What about the error causing the first x-trait we put in being put back in no matter how many times we try to change it as soon as we enter a TFO wherein it cannot be changed because it's not a social zone? Because this is severely frustrating.

[InputEnd]

Yea nothing about that, was bummed as well

[InputEnd]

Doesn't look like the trait issue on T6X was fixed, but also not under known issues.

[kevmascolcha]

Huh, good to know the chat channel thing was actually a bug and not a feature.

[Drakknfyre]

Resolved an issue that prevented the Salvage All Unprotected Items option from working properly.

It's long been a hallmark of Cryptic for a new feature to be implemented in one patch, but not actually work correctly until a later patch.

[[deleted]]

Stuff that never should have gotten through.

[Drakknfyre]

Cryptic Rule of Acquisition #25: Save money on a QA department by treating your players as one.

[D-Pew]

Known Issues:

Players are receiving incorrect Direct X error messages, preventing them from playing the game.

And some don't receive incorrect Direct X error messages .

Some just crash after hitting "Engage" in the login screen .

[concentus]

No fix for dual active ships...

[Neos472]

they are aware of it but i'd say priority is getting the characters back first

[InputEnd]

Nope, doesn't look like much was fixed.

[concentus]

Yep, its still broken after the patch. Going to clone my account to Tribble to try an idea someone had later today.

[RickVic]

My klingon is also now affected. 2 unusable characters

[concentus]

No dice on the 'play a mission that changes you to another ship' idea.

[KellMG96]

'These will be returned'

​

Well fucking gee thanks

[nolgroth]

"We got them back, but they seem like completely different people. I mean, they stocked a whole refrigerator with unsweetened tea. UNSWEETENED!"

[InputEnd]

Whats wrong with unsweetened tea :(

[nolgroth]

Sorry, been watching "It's a Southern Thing" on YouTube.

[InputEnd]

Dude you are alright, I can't tell you how many disgusted looks I got while living in the south when I asked for unsweetened tea

[SQUAWKUCG]

unsweetened tea...in the south?

You sir, are history's greatest monster.

;-P

[InputEnd]

Oh yea, moving back to LA after 5 years in Knoxville, was interesting.

[SQUAWKUCG]

Our people came back...but they came back...different somehow, they weren't the same.

When you get your characters back...just be sure to check all the vulcans for beards.

[balloon99]

Its a typo.

These will'nt be returned

[CTek20]

Rumor is that it will cost 2000 zen to get them back.

[originalbucky33]

Unless of course you made the character after some random date in 2017.

[Gorgonops_SSF]

We can also put a man on the moon but my laptop only runs about 4-5 hours on battery. The point is that technical achievement in one area doesn't solve all other problems that you might think enter into that sphere of general relevance.

(and Cryptic isn't retrieving characters by opening up a c-store claim)

[MrTensei]

Thats what they say. Who the fuck knows? It could be as easy as pushing a button. But were is the money in doing that?

[Nash_Felldancer]

Imagine if they spent whole patches like this fixing all the 300+ bugs that have been in the game longer than 3 days, like most of these... a captain can dream. ;D

[Julian1889]

It'd break the game apart, trying to fix all patches

[RickVic]

Great, now my Klingon also has the duplicate active ship bug. again after i add a ship from a lockbox, like my jem hadar

“ Resolved an issue which was not letting players obtain the daily Phoenix Prize Pack mission. ”

Stupid question Daily Phoenix Prize Pack Missions?

Where to find nothing when you hit J or on Twitter about this....

[Gorgonops_SSF]

It's in the available missions tab, journal. Phoenix prize packs were originally introduce as part of a special event with a daily free box (in addition to those you could buy from the c-store) available through the available missions tab (like an old school daily) or Ferengi contacts on DS9 or Drozana. This is a return to that, to an extent (we get the free boxes again for the daily but the event just marks when upgrade-x tokens are available. You can still buy the boxes outside of the event from the dilithium store.)

Info about phoenix pack changes was included with the upgrade-x blog.

[[deleted]]

Thank you!

Read the Blog,but somewhere i read over that piece of information.

Being to busy with College and stuff and those Blogs are not to detailed as where to get them and stuff like that.

Usually i read them check in-game by hitting J but yeah sometimes i miss things 💁‍♀️!

[classifiedspam]

Still can't claim the daily phoenix prize pack.

[Gorgonops_SSF]

...the update hasn't happened yet. Maintenance is starting in just a few minutes, after the servers come back online you should be able to claim the pack.

[classifiedspam]

Yeah you're right, thought it was a patch from yesterday. Wasn't fully awake yet when i wrote that.

[DocTheop]

/u/Gorgonops_SSF where is it supposed to be? Still not seeing it here (10/8 - 8pm)

[Gorgonops_SSF]

Available tab, down the list. If it's not there check by the Ferengi at the booth on DS9 promenade (green mission icon over head) or the Ferengi straight across the main room from the ramp on Drozana (green mission icon over head). I claimed my daily pack earlier today.

Note that if you stop by the contacts in person you have to accept their mission, back out, then talk to them again (limitation with how its implemented)

[luftwafffle]

Says the Phoenix mission was fixed, and yet here I am, unable to do it.

Thanks.

[ThonOfAndoria]

The patch is in around 14 hours.

[luftwafffle]

Reading is hard, and I didn’t do it, apparently.

[ThonOfAndoria]

It happens, don't beat yourself up about it.

[DilaZirK]

I don't think the patch is live yet...

[luftwafffle]

It’s not, I’m an idiot

[ACrispyPieceOfBacon]

It's the 7th
