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.

eiledon · July 2015

Thanks for the fixes and acknowledging some of the other issues however the Color bleeds noted in previous two pts threads are still occuring but have not been added to known issues or addressed. Why have seperate color channels if 2 bleeds into 3 causing it's color to change.

Bug: Ravenswood Costume Set - Color 2 affecting shade of Color 3 channel on both Male & Female

What: Color 3 Channel on the following pieces is being affected by bleed of Color 2 preventing true color matching being achieved.
Where:

Tights - Chest - Cloth, Leather, Metal
Tights - Legs - Cloth, Leather, Metal
Chest Layer - Cloth, Leather, Metal
Bracers - Cloth, Leather, Metal (really hard to see as only small disc emblem is color 3)
Shoulder Pads - Cloth, Leather, Metal

Note: Color bleed does not occur on leg accessories or feet accessories or headwear!

Example - Note the only color change here was color 2 from white to black - color 3 areas on costume parts also change color.

Bug: Shoulders Clipping through Ravenswood Chestwear
What: Even on default mass and shoulder size, character shoulders clip through the shoulder straps of Chestwear - not minor as affected on default size both male/female

Bug: Seam on bicep does not pick up color 4 (which is used on other seams between chest segments.

themightyzenith · July 2015

I appreciate the fixes made so far. Great work.

Please, please, please look into the colour bleeding issues. It would be a shame for the other issues to be fixed but for this problem to still be glaring us in the face.

Let's make this a great costume set. After the last one we really need it for morale.

Thanks again devs.

eiledon · July 2015

Suggestion: Add Optional Ravenswood Emblem to Chest Wear center panel or add a second version of the perk emblem which sits further off the chest skeleton allowing chestwear to be worn beneath it.
Why: When wearing the Ravenswood Chestwear, the Ravenswood emblem (should you also choose it) is covered up, it seems a no brainer that the Ravenswood set should have this emblem available in some form.

eiledon · July 2015

Bug: New Hovercars break the image bounding box on the Item Modification Window

screenshot_2015-07-04-14-14-48_zpsl69ysloq.jpg~original

Noted in original thread for release of new vehicles.

Also is it a typo or miscommunication, but the Cherrybomb is showing in it's description that it has the 10% bonus to stats previously limited to lockbox and drifter vehicles, but according to the blog it is the zen store version (which have previously not had the 10% bonus.)

soulforger · July 2015

Will there be a special lockbox vendor near the powerhouse for this lockbox?

chaelk · July 2015

Bugs: glass, glass shiny, holoforce,psi holo using wrong colour box
Where: PTS

these ones are using colour 1, cloth, leather, use colour 3.

left one is with black in 3
right one is matching the colour.

ladygadfly · July 2015

Hey Folks,

The known issues have been updated to include the color bleeding, broken image in the modification window, bicep seams missing colors & chest layer clipping. Thanks for the reports, keep 'em coming.

To answer soulforger's question, there will be a lock box contact in Ren Center.

eiledon · July 2015

Thanks Gad

It should be noted that a lot of the rifle and smg skins are clipped by the hands when held - it is more pronounced on the new gun due to the fluted nature of it.

notyuu · July 2015

I have a very simple question/suggestion.

When you have the device known as "the cloak of infinite plains" in your device bar, you get given an extra "power" in your power bar, clicking this "power" activates the device, would it be possible to have something like this for the Perpetrator Incapacitation Device, please?

only reason i'm asking is because it would allow for easier use of the device in regular combat, rather than having to click or do a key combo to do it [which while normally somewhere between trivial and simple for most players, I have trouble with due to the fact that I use a controller to play as my general motor coordination is less than....impressive when it comes to mouse/keybord]

I'll look into it. It might be really simple to set the device up that way.

Thank you, if it turns out to be viable do you think it would be possible to make the other devices function in a similar manner?

or at the very least make some of the weaker ones less useless [looks angrily at contained radiation]
and...that'll probably be all from me on this topic for now..don't wanna ramble off topic.

ealford1985 · July 2015

Suggestion:
Change the pitch of the vehicles to match the chariot pitch.

I don't care for this idea as it would very quickly litter/overflow your power tray. It's also kinda obnoxious as you cannot remove the power from your tray unless you remove the device. It also can't be moved around on the tray.

The device tray can be moved/keybound, so also having a device appear on your power tray seems redundant.
Edit: Have you remapped your controller for device use? I have mine set for Right Trigger+buttons.

crypticbuxom · July 2015

I'm also for devices not being auto put into power trays. It only made sense for the Runesword since it can be spammed.

I don't think players will mind that the FX don't work for the SMG yet. You can fix that FX issue when you fix the anime pistols FX issue.

ealford1985 · July 2015

I know the bleed issue has been reported on the tights but there is also a bleed on the weapon.

Champions%20Online_2015-07-10_23-32-23.jpg

Suggestion:
Since the new Raven set focuses on psi/holo/glass can we get the weapon skin the same way. I know we talked about this more with the invisible weapon but having Material options for the gun would be AWESOME!!

or liek someone mentioned to me...a glass version/holo version/psi version

thebuckeye · July 2015

Hey, LadyGadfly, I was wondering about the possiblity of the Blaster Device being made into a proper Power for the Gadgeteering Particle Rifles? I mean after the lockbox has rotated out of course. Because the Particle Rifle powers are missing a Ranged AoE to fill the Energy Rifle niche. And this would fill the void properly, at least if the range were increased to 100ft as opposed to the current 80ft range....

Also, could we get the Blaster Pistol version from the previous PTS builds to unlock along with the Rifle? You know for the Sonic, Particle and Munitions Pistols (you could even assign that version to the SMG, instead of the Rifle version) Because honestly, the pistol version looked really kind of cool...

P.S. I support the power tray suggestion for the device. And Kaizerin, the Icon on the power tray from the cloak device can be moved around on the tray (and when put in to the Device slot it goes into the next empty slot on the Power Tray.) And this Power is Spammable, well with a 10 second cool down, but that's not overly long...although I'd love the cool down to be removed from it if possible...

If I'm not mistaken, you can you the devices on controllers still. I know on the Xbox 360 controller you can press
D-Right + A, B, X, Y or RB to use devices 1-5

But as for what you were pointing out, the same happens with most of the Nighthawk devices.

and don't forget to add in, different materials using different colour numbers.
cloth, leather, metal use a different colour box to glass, holoforce and psi holo
eg. chest - nml textures use box 3, others use box 1

eiledon · July 2015

I am confused? Normal materials (cloth, leather, metal) variously use 2, 3 and 4 color channels. whereas glass, holo etc usually use a single channel for color. Do you mean you mean which channel is set to permit glow?

thelastsonofzod · July 2015

SMG FX clipping on the rifle is expected, we have similar problems with the longer pistol models. I'd prefer it be left open to players than taken off the menu. Could we get the shotgun added to the weapons list for it as well? I do rather like the design, though I currently lack a bird themed vigilante to make use of it.

blkjackwilliams · July 2015

Bug:

Gravity driver tokens are not properly removed from inventory when discarded.

blkjackwilliams · July 2015

Did damage get changed with this last patch? This is regarding FF characters.

I've been recording tooltip damage information at varying damage buff values, so I could see how damage acts as damage buffs increase. There's been consistency between live and test values except for today displayed damage values on test are different for the same level of buffs as I recorded a couple of days ago, additionally displayed damage is currently less on test than it is on live.

I don't know if it's just a display issue or if a bug on my end. Can someone else test this for me to get some confirmation that this is a system change/bug rather than something affecting just me?

look at the pictures further back.
you have 4 colour channels.
the MAIN COLOUR for cloth, leather and metal is using colour 3.
the MAIN COLOUR for the other textures is using colour 1.

so when you change textures, you will also change colours unless those 2 boxes are the same colour.

I'll try it with different colours.

colour 1 is blue, colour 3 is red.

using metal, cloth or leather. The main colour is the third one.

armour%207_zps4840oier.png

using glass, shiny glass, holoforce, psi holo. The main colour is the first one.

firefox is playing up so having to use what edit buttons are on chrome.

Please add this Lady, I have a few things I'll love to have on my power tray list

Suggestion: Spruce up the stuffed bird to make it worthy of a lockbox bonus item

*looks at alien hybrid tights*
*looks back at stuffed bird*
*looks at the jet wings*
*looks back at the stuffed bird*

........nope.

avianos · July 2015

A Dead Dull Bird!

That's what we have been waiting for Lockbox Bonus card 3 reward? really? a Dead Bird?

looks at alien hybrid tights and jetwings, and now back to the dead bird

What? I see the Quality drop also affected the Bonus rewards for Lockboxes
I may love Bird, but this? NO

jonsills · July 2015

I might become interested in the bird if I can have just one, on one shoulder, and maybe the ability to give it multiple colors and a parrot beak. Then I can combine it with the pirate pieces.

Yeah... won't be opening a lockbox this round. I mean, I kinda want one of the cars, a plain-looking vehicle is something I've wanted for... as long as vehicles have been in the game. But vehicles don't seem to play nice with gamepads, or maybe it's the specific way my camera controls are set up, so I'm not going to bother.

And I'm certainly not touching the next series before the bonus card reward is revealed. At this rate, probably not after, either.

eiledon · July 2015

Ogre - if the description on the cherry bomb is to be believed it has the 10% boost to it even though the blog post said it was the c-store version. It that is the case it may be worth springing for that rather than wasting zen on keys and chancing to luck

draogn · July 2015

The lockbox notification spam still needs a way to be turned off, or be removed completely. One message, imo, is one message too many. I've seen how this works in other games, and even with it limited to just vehicles it will still be obnoxious.

kaiserin · July 2015

Request: Add glass, holo, psi, etc materials to the birdy.
Request: Add more than just the bird if possible. I'd personally like to see a shoulder kitty, puppy and pony/unicorn.

chaelk · July 2015

now that could get messy fast.
please tell me, you mean a mini pony and not a full sized one with incredible balance.

a blob
a glowing whatsit

Oh, I'm never going to buy another vehicle, not as long as I can't steer in combat anyway. My first-gen grav bike is quite enough.

cybersoldier1981 · July 2015

In comparison to previous lockbox awards, this bird is a joke. Please just slap this thing in the Ravenswood costume and take your time to give us something worthwhile. You cannot convince me this was planned, it seems like a last minute idea that was snatched out of the costume.

After a recycled emote, I'm honestly not surprised.

You can just rebind your device slots to a key you can put on your controller.
Most of the keyboard is wasted with UI garbage.
U key for instance is bound to "Research and Development" which is a function that no longer exists.
Z isn't being used anymore. X is open to my knowledge.
Plenty more keys open that can be bound.

Having a device and power slot taken up for the same function is kind of a pain in the butt, like those glasses for the Gadroon quest that eat up a Primary Utility slot when you just want to wear cool spectacles.

Putting a power into the power bar does nothing to solve the click and/or key combo condition.
My powerbar has three slots left on it, they all require an Alt + number finger fumble near the game killing WIndows key...or a click on the power bar, or if I'm going to use them frequently, a rebinding.
