How do you report a bug when the bug system is bugged?

I am slowly growing somewhat frustrated. This game is in a most sorry state.

If somewhat longer missions I did recently, there a few that worked smoothly. Therakiel's Lair. Whiteout. But:

• Demonflame: Reproducable bugs that make you unable to finish. Entire rooms aggoed by the Demon Key that aren't meant to be aggroed. The Demon Key consists of more bugs than working code. If you don't know a set of pretty idiotic work-arounds (deliberately letting your Demon Key die in a situation he usually wouldn't), it's impossible to finish.
• Unity 2: At the end of "There and Bat Again", after the last wave of attackers is eleminated, the mission does not complete. I might have been able to do something about it before I left, but since I didn't realize that anything was amiss, I left the Juryrig's Garage. Now I have a mission in my journal that is impossible to complete, just for the hope that a dev might have an easier time to reproduce what happened if it's there.
• Bunker Buster: My Nemesis does not engage in the final fight, and neither do several of the heroes I freed along the way. You can strip her of her hit points but she won't be defeated.I am standing right now with my character and watch my pets attack my Nemesis, who has no hit points but doesn't die. Restarting the mission doesn't help, the same bug shows up again. It's impossible to complete the mission.
• Resistance: In... issue three or so you have to destroy several drones that scout an area without getting seen. Since they are one shot that's not difficult, but there was a case when I didn't get credit for one. So, even though all four were destroyed, that part of the mission was impossible to finish. While you don't have to restart "Resistance" for it, you have to restart the issue to continue.

And that's not even mentioning bugs that are beneficial to the player but bad for the story, like enemies who won't fight back.

And now. When I want to at least report the bug, to cling to the vain hope anything will ever work, all I get a message window that says there was a timeout during the bug report! I love this game for the possibilities you have with creating and defining super hero characters. But it must be possible to play it to enjoy. I can live with all the braindead dialogues, that really sound more like a parody on comics than an actual comic. It's all more like a meta-comic. But at least the majority of longer missions shouldn't have bugs that keep you from completing it! If they do, the mission should be taken out of the game until it's fixed. Because until then: You don't have a working Demonflame, you don't have working Nemesis system, you don't have a working Resistance. Claiming that it's there is a lie to cover the absence of content that actually works!

Phew. I hope folks don't mind when I let a bit of steam out in the forums. I wish everyone a wonderful day and hope you enjoy... the game.

There is a bugs and technical issues section below the Public Test Server section and above the Player to Player section. Scroll down on the forums main page and you'll find it.... assuming you're not too angry to see small things.

Hmm the most irritating thing you can do at times is be helpful methinks I'm off before he shouts at me.

This is the kind of stuff they ask for specifically on PTS.

I've been able to report stuff.
You do add a new item for these and not try to use the search option?
Players don't have access to that level of the system.
