How long "Really" before tickets can be expected to be assigned or investigated?

I submitted a ticket for a stalled Voyage on September 23rd. Besides the auto-mailer I have not received any response or action on the ticket in 12 days. The only activity is when I asked about an updated in the ticket itself.

I filed tried to recall my voyage and it "ran out of fuel" trying to come back after 2 days. I submitted a follow up ticket. (2nd in the list) I noticed Shan's post that responses were slow and could take a week. I have waited 5 days longer then that and STILL no response. I will restate my question:

What is required to get support to acknowledge a request?

  • week and a half has been my experience then other times same day I get a reply to my ticket. I guess to get their attention maybe put *Urgent* in the message. Might help
  • I thought it was bad they hadn't fixed my issue of not receiving event rewards from Gates of Hell. Going on 5 days which is agonizing. If I have to wait 12 I will be seriously upset.
  • I just submitted a ticket today. The auto response message said that due to the 3.0 rollout and mega event ticket response time is extremely high 2 weeks. Hope this helps
  • I got told 2 weeks but ended up getting at least a real initial response within 3 days, probably because it had to do with the shuttles which were necessary for last weekend's event. The problem isn't totally resolved yet but at least I was able to participate in full for this weekend. The key is to be polite and try to give as much info as possible and submit from within the app, rather than submitting manually through zendesk or whatever. If it is something even slightly related to an event that helps too. Obviously don't lie about what the issue is in the hopes of quick response.

    Oh, and as someone who worked tech support in another life: avoid submitting a new ticket asking about a previous ticket, all you end up doing is recycling the queue which pushes your actual ticket response time back. Kinda like if you call a phone line and hang up when you are on hold which just puts you all the way to the end of the queue all over again if you call up again.

    With all that said, given how new voyages are I imagine there are a lot of tickets about them, and so not only do they have to open all those tickets they also are compiling data on how many people have the same issue, and then they have to ask QA/TS if they have duplicated the problem or know how to fix it already, etc.,

  • I am waiting 6 weeks now. My problems go pretty deep and I think they try to ignore me until i give up.
  • 16 days now.... :-(

  • Yup. The 2 week reply time is BS! Been 3 events with no response. Can't get any crew to join my squad even after invite is sent. Chane to open and still can't join. Had players leave the Fleet due to this. DB dosen't seem to give 2 shites as long as they can pump out more (Buy this new pack)
  • Unfortunately for most of you guys the issues you're presenting aren't related directly to monetary matters, so I assume you're on the back-burner while DB deal with those who are - undelivered packs, dilithium, purchased crew/slots, etc. which can be taken up with Apple/Steam instead. When your issues are such, then DB will answer faster as dealing with fallout from other organisations is trouble for them. The worst you guys can do is stop playing. They really don't care if you do; you'll be one less headache.

    Waiting is agonising, as I too discovered. Unfortunately you can't take any issues higher than at present as DB live in internet land, wherein there are no laws or statutes. You can continue to wait however, and I found the CS team very helpful once they bothered to reply.

    I suggest noting down as you play ALL of the problems your issue has caused - they are cumulative when you consider them fully. For example reduced chrons from one event leads to reduced in the next, leading to more and more and more.... you should be compensated not only for what you've missed out on (OP case is chrons, rations, crew and more from faulty voyage) directly, but also the after-effects of missing out. Perhaps, once DB realise the level to which gameplay is affected, they'll start to do a better job.

  • Yeah it’s two weeks. And my response was a form letter that in no way addressed my complaint. The rep didn’t bother to read what I wrote and spit back the standard “thanks” message.
  • Let us hope. However, I agree with you that, "The worst you guys can do is stop playing. They really don't care if you do; you'll be one less headache." . So maybe we all should get in touch with Steam/IOS/Android and give them a headache. Then maybe they can give DB support a headache?
