So...after the patch I am assuming they meant to hide the Owlbear shard selection, but now I can't even get on the test shard because that entire bar is hidden. Was this intentional, or just another screw up because of Cryptics incompetent team? Do your coders even know what they are doing? Every time you try to fix something, you end up breaking something else COMPLETELY UNRELATED. For example the bag sort bug. Bag sorted worked JUST FINE since the game came out of open beta, and since patch before last you managed to somehow break it. Seriously...get it together...
I have preview and owlbear on my launcher. Suggesting that they broke bag sorting on purpose is just silly. It depends on the level of testing done. Small fixes just tend to have testing to ensure that what you're changing does what it's supposed to do and doesn't extend to testing how it integrates with the rest of the system.

Anybody in software development knows how true this is. And it's beyond common and completely unavoidable. It's simply part of programming anything.
Any fix or change made will by nature have a chance of breaking something completely unrelated and most of those are caught in house. Sometimes things such as the bag sort bug slips through the cracks. It will be fixed.
As for owlbear: Owl Bear was one of the Alpha Shards. I do not officially know whether this was intentionally displayed to the public or not but yet again sometimes things slip through the cracks. In either case you can either expect it to be removed or be given a purpose.
There's no need to flame or insult the developers for that though. If you want to give feedback there is no reason you can't do it without disrespecting the development team.
Please be respectful on follow the rules.
