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 elsewhere.

In particular, do not report bugs from the live game in this thread, unless they are impacted by changes in the PTS build.

    I very much like how the lockbox tooltip shows little thumbnail pics of the grav bike, bow weapon skin, and archer costume set. It's nice to have this little preview of those items.

    EDIT: Good lord, I so want that Archer costume set after taking a look at the different pieces...

    Like the new set, the headlights on the bike look pretty dope, too :3

    The Advertisement bike park next to heartstring will flicker very rapidly when viewed from certain angles (or when it approaches the edge of the screen more commonly, though it has happened while it was in the center of my screen and fully visible).

    Edit: This was on full settings, which I can run with no problems otherwise, just in case that matters.

    Why is the cape put in the neck section? SURELY it should be in back, it just looks stupid in neck and doesn't make much sense.

    My guess is so that you can have the cape on the neck and the quiver on the back like how the NPC looks.

    You can actually get 3 capes if you use the one on that head piece. Then using the waist cape you'd be at 4. :O

    the long awaited archer set, AW YEAH

    vehicle looks awesome also.

    Is there any way we can get the Archer Mask to be de-linked from only being usable with the hood? I'd love to have that kind of mask available to use without having to use the hood with it.

    Interesting use of the lockbox tooltip showing the previews of items. Its a clever touch!

    The heart aura is a bit over the top. It would be nice to have a version that is similar to the hearts that comes off of players when they are kissed with mistletoe.

    Would it be too much trouble to make the cape an option for the neck and the back? Or add another back part to the tailor?

    So, I was reading Heartstring's Bio. I like it, but there's just one tiny detail that confuses the hell out of me.

    Okay, she's a French Olympic Archery Medalist, (Bug:which you spelt Medallist in the bio which is a typo) who got a mystical bow that can see how people are connected through their 'heart strings'. Great I get it and love it

    But then there's "...soon she debuted as a hero with her trusty Arrowhead Grav Bike..". Where does a 22 year old french woman get such a futuristic vehicle? I know you're trying to get people to buy cool vehicles that your modelers and scripters work hard on, but it just feels so out of place.

    Is France like Future-France or something?


    +I like the Heart Aura
    +I like the popups of the items in the boxes
    +Heartstring is a pretty interesting character
    +The new bikes are pretty cool looking
    -Heartstring's bike flickers like it's stuck in two dimensions
    -"Medallist" is a typo. Should be Medalist

    Bug: Back quiver from the Archer set is not available on female characters.

    Heartstring is female so I am assuming this is a bug. Also, having the mask as an option without the hood would be cool.

    I LOVE this set.

    Bug: Debugger's current 12 Pack of Heartstring Lockboxes unpacks to 12 Winter Wonderland Lockboxes

    Also I had a thought since you have added a vehicle on a display plinth.

    Suggestion: Reoutfit Questionite Exchange Building as a Vehicle Display Center. It's large enough to allow a large number of vehicles (replace drill units and Questionite terminals with rotating plinths like in the car show space downtown. Additionally it's tall enough that the plinths could float at different levels. If possible you could even replicate something similar to the holographic displays they use in the shipyards in STO but with the ability to cycle through the full models of all the vehicles. As it is the Questionite Exchange building currently lacks a real use other than for screenshots and I think allowing players to see the vehicles up close would be a nice quality of life improvement and bring a use to an otherwise empty building. Seeing as vehicle weapon mods are a Q store purchase you could even leave a few of the questionite vendors in there to give it some population.

    Bug: Archer Set unlocks per character instead of per account. (though this may be intentional)

    Bug: Heartstrings' back quiver is not unlocked by the Archer Set unlock. (though this also may be intentional)

    Bug: The following pieces "Archer Bracer", "Archer Gauntlet", "Thigh Quiver", and "Archer Boot" do not appear in the list of pieces when selecting the 'Both' option.

    Bug: The Archer Gauntlet piece's skin texture differs so much from the normal skin textures that there is a clear and jarring contrast between them.


    Suggestion: Why not make the Archer Mask wearable without the hood?

    The archer costume pieces are phenomenal and I cannot wait to get the set.

    I do like the Arrowhead's look, but is that enough to give it resale value? A lockbox vehicle with a 0.5% drop chance ought to have a highly desirable weapon in it.

    Side note: This Valentine's Day thing has to go. No one will care about Valentine's Day in less than a week, but this lockbox will probably still be here 2 months from now.

    The Lockbox is actually meant to be Valentine's day related, just as the Takofanes one was Halloween related.

    This sounds like a pretty valid issue. How about if they cloned the cape piece, and had one in neck and one on back? I can't imagine it'd ve that hard to pull off.

    Sidebar: event timing for this game has traditionally been terrible. We really shouldn't be rolling out Valentine's Day week of or Xmas on the week before.

    Second sidebar: If I could mirror someone else's sentiments, It'd be quite cool to get someholiday themed tights.

    I've tried out the costume pieces and I like them....I'll definitely go for this set and use the pieces on a bunch of toons.

    However, I get that you guys are going for the wrinkled, folded look.............but the effect was used a bit too much on the boots, imo. They kinda look like they're made of crumpled cardboard.

    screenshot_2014-02-10-00-15-43.jpg

    If this effect was toned down on the boots then the set would be awesome.

    Also, I'm really digging the Archer Shirt (long and short), but they clip really badly with long gloves....shame.

    screenshot_2014-02-10-01-42-07.jpg

    And yeah, the cape should have options of neck AND back.
