Please format any bugs you find in the following format:

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.

    This is awesome.


    Request: PLEASE ADD THE MARTINEZ VTOL TO THE DRIFTER STORE OR C-STORE.

    It's impossible to find anywhere and not available anywhere else.

    May the Water balloons (except for Family Sized) and Snowballs have this fixed too?

    In addition, it would be helpful if you also finally implemented the long standing suggestion by multiple players to include a warning bubble for Frost Dagger for Frozen Dagger.

    Possible Bug: Stacking Foam Finger Auras of different colors make it flicker different colors erratically.

    I like the cardboard box costume piece additions!

    Some more chatter ideas:
    ... woah, look at that <Player Name> cosplay ...
    ... remember three hours of sleep, two meals, one shower ...
    ... reg line too long ...
    ... was better last year ...
    ... at the local Westside meetup ...
    ... need to get fish peace-bonded ...

    I like the references to the Vibora bay Foxbat arc. :3

    It might be cool to add another photo-op wall setup on the other side of the stage without anyone in front of it so people can take selfie screenshots without Kenetik and the reporter.

    because they are supposed to be really rare, they also changed it from 3 peices in a box to 1.

    green and blue boxes got merged and n ow give 1 mercenery gear instead of 1 merc and 1 legion respectively

    So as a purple drop they are supposed to be more rare than gold vehicle drops? While opening Heartstring and Foxbat boxes on PTS, in both cases, I had around 6 vehicles before I had 3 pieces of legion... over the course of 1000+ boxes each. legion crept ahead eventually, but through the first 500+ the vehicle drops were winning.

    If it was dropping in 3's I could understand the current rate... but for singles it's too low. At the very least, it should be increased by another 1%

    BTW, just in case you thought that was part of my post, it's not... it's my sig.

    Wait wait wait. So the Foxbat IOU that I've been holding onto for years, just gives me 10 cred?

    Lame.

    It's so out of the way. Why not apply a special perk or something on completion?

    You'd think he'd just give you a dang costume piece considering how aberrant it is to even get a Foxbat IOU these days.

    Bug: Foxbat Hood appears when selecting full helmets.

    I really don't know what to say other than it's just really wonky and appears under a few head options where it isn't selectable (or unselectable) and won't go away.

    Bug: Most Vehicle Weapons don't crit, leaving Telemetry Mods nigh-useless.

    EDIT: So I got one to crit, yay!... I'm not sure what's going on, but vehicle attacks seem to have lower crit than what the spreadsheet says.

    I don't think it's even 1.7% like in your sig.

    Flamingbunny did a spreadsheet and got only just over 1%
    vehicles were 1.5% after complaints

    yes the drop rates are pretty ridiculous now

    Stop doing this.

    This is how certain items get put into one category 'because clipping' and we can't make diverse costumes. Let it show in every head category and leave it be.

    The Mark 2 Skyfox and Strike Hawkwings are so weak compared to other Mark 2s. I know they are upgrades of the original Hawks and they have a speed advantage but their stats just look so meh... :frown:

    No. It's bug. Read the rest of my post. It shows up in helmets, then doesn't go away. You get stuck with it. I mean it shows up as being worn and cant be removed.

    I know this isn't in the build notes, but as a request is it possible that you guys could remove the 20 point endurance penalty for tank role? It's a legacy penalty from the early days that really doesn't do anything but penalize tank role these days.
