We're updating PTS with the upcoming update build to test stability, as well as verifying a few bug fixes we addressed following last week's Live push.

Please format any bugs you find in the following format:

Powers
- Fixed issues that would cause cylinder-based vehicle attack powers to target/destroy objects outside the intended range.

    This sounds good; I may even port one of my hawkwinged characters over to help test it out (I assume the reason it's going to the PTS is to check and see if the speed upgrade is going to be game-breaking or not...) Thanks for taking the time to listen to your players. It's a step in the right direction.

    Seeing as this was not posted in the bug fixes, I will say again that

    Interrupt powers such as Back Hand Chop and Ice Cage with Subzero Cell Block Advantage, are deactivating IDF and Mental Discipline Forms

    Aside from this, I am sure many pro vehicle heroes will be happy to hear this news as well as a certain Dr.Cerebellum

    Prototype base Speed jacked up from 4 to 6!

    Nice boost there! Not as fast as before, but that was expected. Plus we still have Speed boost mods...

    Thanks! I look forward to this making it Live!

    I just tried out the prototypes on PTS and, although not as fast as they were originally, they at least feel useful again. This will be enough to shut me up about the matter, assuming it makes it to Live. Thanks for listening.

    Any word on fixing the bug with objects vanishing when you lift them? That's kind of an incredibly unfun bug there that's been around since September.

    Yeah, I am hoping both these bugs are being worked on and make it out either by week's end or next week.

    As well as PTS character transfer, which to my knowledge isnt working yet

    Any chance to see this bug fixed?

    It's been there since On Alert first launched, I did report it on July when the devs asked for the top 2 issues for players and it seems it's been forgotten (like most bugs in this game).

    Why does this need testing on the PTS? Somebody please enlighten me.

    They did say that server stability was an issue with the vehicles before. Amping up the speed and putting them on the PTS allows them to see if the servers can handle the amped speed...

    Probably.

    This. I'd also like to know if there's a fix in the works for it.

    I don't even own a Hawkwing, so yeah, I'm happy for those who got at least some of their wanted feature back.

    Better then nothing. :tongue:

    So wait - they fixed it on vehicles but not player powers?

    Can that get fixed with player powers as well? Please?

    This is a problem that has been affecting characters since long before the implementation of vehicles. For months now (has it been over a year ?)


    The patch notes specifically state that the bug is being addressed for vehicles. Is it being addressed for characters as well ? Or are bug fixes something that have to be purchased in the C-Store or gambled for through lock-boxes ?

    /agreed.

    I hate using FC in a mission where destructable objects can explode to agro foes..soooo annoying!

    Plus it makes no sense,hmm..perhaps that extra damage should be added onto the cylindrical attacks :tongue:

    Here's a bug I noticed after reloaded went live.

    BUG: After turning off the cape glide travel power your regular cape fails to appear for over a second, making it look like you have no cape.

    What particularly annoys me about this is it all bugged at once and there is clearly an underlying coding mistake they should have pinpointed in order to fix this.

    But instead they fixed the problem instead of the source, and will have to go through this again, first when they sort out the rest of player powers and secondly when that original mistake causes more bugs.
