Please stay on topic in this PTS thread. We use bug reports from this thread to decide whether a PTS build is ready to go live, and so we need to make sure we're seeing everything in it. Please do discuss the changes, but if you find yourself writing about something that isn't specific to what's on PTS, then that should probably go here: http://forum.arcgames.com/championsonline/categories/gameplay-bugs1. Posts that do not pertain to the current PTS patch will be removed.

These player & moderator maintained threads are checked weekly by the development team.

    Ah, so this is why there was no patch notes for .47, cause you were going to push out .48 on the same day.

    Also, just wondering, but is there any plans to update the eyes of older heads to have customizable eyes?

    I've also noticed that PTS updates generally come in two 'flavors'. Front-facing updates, where they have testable changes, and back-facing changes, which we don't see from our end. Back facing updates don't generally get patch notes.

    Which makes no sense with .47, as it did have testable changes, that was when the otter tail and price change on the vehicle happened.

    I also noticed the annoying bug that prevents you from having your hands and feet different materials still exists. Unless it is only for certain parts.

    Suggestion:

    Just a minor one. There's a costume piece in the Chest Wear category called "Beast Mane". It only occupies the neck area though. So, I wonder if it can be available in the Neck category instead of only the Chest Wear part.

    The seam between the furry neck of the beast heads and many many non-furry textured upper body textures would be greatly helped by any sort of costume piece that could cover it up.

    Thanks for listening to us about Foxbat cred. I hope the new drop rate of swag bags is enough to make farming significant.

    tiger pattern on feline head vs tiger pattern on tiger head.
    feline uses skin colour for the lighter area, so it merges with the neck
    the feline pattern is actually more like an actual tiger pattern

    Bug: the tin of 58 foxbat cred from completing The Real Foxbat actually has 72 cred in it. I'm hoping that's just a typo and 72 is correct.

    Suggestion: Even 72 cred is kind of disappointing for a mission you can only complete 1/year. If it was daily I'd understand, but it's not. Something more like 150-200 would seem to be more appropriate, and make the event seem less grindy (without actually decreasing the grind that much).

    @squirrelloid

    Apparently, The Real Foxbat is supposed to be a repeatable mission. This is as per Kais herself.

    If it's not repeating, that's a bug.

    That said, the improved drop rates on the swag bag makes them a much better source for tokens now. I earned 300 tokens in about 4 hours.

    I'll check again, but it was showing a 24h timer and everyone on /trade was assuring me that it was 1/year and the timer would reset when it hit zero (like the Defender autograph mission).

    Otherwise:
    Bug? The Real Foxbat is on a different timer than Foxhunt. That's annoying, if nothing else.

    If as Kaiserin is quoted above the Real Foxbat is repeatable, the timer is broken. I did it at this time yesterday however it is still showing in Completed tab of Mission Journal as 23:36:54 remaining on it's cooldown timer.

    Bug: The Real Foxbat mission is not repeatable.
    Suggestion: Make mission timer same as the other daily (20Hrs)​​

  • roughbearmattachroughbearmattach Posts: 4,785 Arc User
    I can also confirm that swag bags drop pretty frequently, and have a good chance to drop cred.

    Just doing 4 Alerts and a Nemesis mission yesterday, I got five bags; no farming atall. I got 13 cred.

    Issues with the tiger texture:

    1. In the texture, the nose and lips are the same colour. An actual tiger's nose is pink and its lips are black. To achieve this extra colour, a character's 'skin' colour could be used for the nosepad.

    2. The back of the tiger head's ears are striped. In reality, there are no tigers with striped ears. They ALL have ears with fake eyes' on the back.

    3. The cheeks should have more orange.

    4. Sub-category whisker attachments would be great.

  • draogndraogn Posts: 1,266 Arc User
    So a 3 day timer for the real foxbat mission? So there's no way to get that ugly/underpowered vehicle without grinding or using drifter salvage, no thanks I'll pass.

    Please DEVs, take this feedback seriously, the Tiger's pattern is Awful

    I really wonder what image of a Tiger the Modeler used as reference, because this Tiger patern looks like it got Bleached​​

    If you do foxhunt every day, you'll easily have enough for the vehicle. (20 days x 63/day = 1260, and i think there's actually 21 days).

    The event ends on the 14th, the vehicle was added to the PTS on the 28th, was added to the live servers on the 31st. So at most players have had 3 days to begin grinding/farming. So if you had the foresight you might have had it if you started grinding on the 28th. But if you started when the vehicle actually went live, or spent any on the costumes not knowing a vehicle was being made, the only way to get the vehicle before the event ends is to mindlessly grind or buy drifter salvage.

    I'm impressed with how much cred I was able to farm just running around slaughtering low level mobs. I farmed for an hour and got ~200 cred. Swagbags were dropping like crazy. It almost feels like they overdid it with the drop rate, but that's fine cause I don't really like this event so I'm happy to be able to 'participate' by just farming random npcs.

    If I cared about the foxbat vehicle I could easily get it... but i don't.

    I must concur. If someone is worried about collecting enough Foxbat Cred before the event ends, then farm low level mobs, or mobs you want towards a Perk or for other drops. Farming an hour in the Andrith Lava Temple, I got 30 cred in one hour, and that was by battling level 41 Lemurians on Elite difficulty.

    I generally start farming event currencies by daily the first day of the event, and only start buying things towards the end of the event.

    Also, alts. Lots of alts. Even if i grabbed all the costume bits, i'd still have like a dozen alts who had Foxhunt creds from all the days till now.

    Good for you, by waiting you also run the risk of something happening to the servers which prevents you from turning anything in. Those who can't stand to run these boring missions on more then a handful of alts or who would rather not risk something happening are still stuck having to grind/use drifter salvage.

    (btw, 30 tokens for an hour of grinding isn't exactly a good ratio for those talking about farming)

    I was farming my Nemesis in the Lava Temple (another story)--I picked up the Foxbat cred incidentally, while fighting non-trivial mobs.

    Imagine just farming Purple Gang or Escaped Prisoners in West Side--you could easily get 100 cred an hour, possibly more.

    So a 10 hour grind, that's also a terrible ratio, that's assuming good luck with RNG. Again, no thanks I'll pass on the mindless grind.

    It did in the very very very first 1st April Foxbat hunt!
    then it was unobtainable for ages
    and now its back bugged!

    Its the only Foxbatcon-related perk right now which DOESN'T give perk!
    and I REALLY want this title for my characters
    Seriously, 1200 Cred for a perk and a title which I never got went on waste​​

    Yesterday, in between waiting for Sky Command and Red Winter alerts, I farmed mobs in West Side. I spent about 1 hour farming, got around 100 Foxbat Cred, plus a couple costume unlocks (and tons of joke devices).

    If you actually did the Foxbatcon missions, you'd have enough currency for the Flying Foxbat in a weekend of gameplay, maybe less. I got a couple costume unlocks I wanted, myself.

    Yes I get it, you can grind to get the vehicle. But you can't get it by just doing the daily if you started when the vehicle was introduced. It would take around 20 days with the daily and the vehicle was introduced on the 31st.
  • squirrelloidsquirrelloid Posts: 876 Arc User
    Bug(?): the foxhunt perks (find foxbats in the three MC zones perks) doesn't track which foxbats you find, just the total number. So even if you find the same ones against, they count repeatedly to complete it.

    Yes I get it, you can grind to get the vehicle. But you can't get it by just doing the daily if you started when the vehicle was introduced. It would take around 20 days with the daily and the vehicle was introduced on the 31st.

    It would take 15.9 days of Foxhunt (1000/63 = 15.873, so 16, since you can't do a partial foxhunt). There were 14 days of Foxhunt when the vehicle went live. So you have to make up 1.9 days of foxhunt, or about 110 creds. That's ~1h of farming. And of course The Real Foxbat went live at the same time, which is 72 cred (the item text is a lie, it actually gives 72 cred), so that's most of the difference right there, even assuming we really only can do The Real Foxbat once.

    My Suggestion for the PRANKSTER perk Title would be: Put the title in the Foxbat Vendor and make so the players need the Prankster perk to acquire it! Similar with the What the fox says Action Figurine

    on the Perk/Title discussion related to Foxbat, can anyone confirm if the perk Treed the Fox can be obtained now?
    This perk unlocks the Title: FOX HUNTER
    but requires you to find the real Foxbat among the Clones (I don't know if its RNG-based)

    really old perk, from the first Foxbat Hunt, way before the Foxbatcon was created

    If DEV can bring it back before the end of this event as well​​

    I've investigated all 100 foxbats and did not get it.

    15 days, the 31st was when the patch and mission went live. Had the Real foxbat mission been repeatable everyday the vehicle could have been earned with out grinding. But since that was put on a 3 day CD and the only way to earn the vehicle would be relying on RNG and grinding (or drifter salvage), no thanks that vehicle isn't worth it.

    Well that's your prerogative. It sucks to say sometimes, but every aspect of this game, is not a match for all players. I don't intend, or have any interest in grinding justice gear for my toons. That's my choice. I might wish that Cryptic gave me better options for that gear, or some less grindy way to accomplish that goal, but at the end of the day it is them that sets precedent for how their game is run.

    In the case of vehicles, I got my Flying Fox after about...ehh 8 hours cumulatively, from both daily missions and mob grinding. I think that's a fair level of effort for what I got out of it. Not spectacular by any means, but I did get a themed vehicle for whenever I decide to do a Foxbat themed character.
