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 on of these threads:

Comments
I did suggest this a while back - headwear version of a wrapped mask - which I think would get a thumbs up from most subscribers.
Regarding the color bleeds on the Ravenswood pieces - it was suggested in the previous thread that you have the graphic artist examine the black, red, green and blue channel color values used they are using pure versions of those colors
e.g black (0,0,0) red (255,0,0), green (0, 255,0), blue (0,0,255) as in the past failing to do this has caused similar bleed issues - and it looks like the green channel isn't using the pure color
Bug: Seam color only added to male tights. Still missing on female tights.
Suggestion - while you are fixing the colors on the ravenswood items, could you add the beak as the first color channel on the ravenswood helmet/headwear. This would really extend it's usefulness no end.

Is that for herorrhoids?

The tube also does some funky things in the male and female beast stances, in particular clips badly when heavy on the body mass sliders. Not sure if that can be worked around. Male version also gives you a giraffe second head ;o
More power fixes? Great stuff. Maybe my dream of Sword Cyclone triggering Overdrive will come true.
It good to see gold subscriber costumes return. The belt accessories category gives the giraffe extra versatility. There are no clipping issues that I could find.

Neat stuff. Next up, "The Return of Targeting Computer: Locked On Crits Again!" featuring: "Personally Fixed Field: Story of a Shield-Regen Patch"!
Think it'd be possible to add Partial Plastic Material Options? Like, have the bottom part of the Inflatable Ring be see-through but the top part be opaque? The costume piece itself is pretty silly, but I kinda like it. Now we just need to have Arm Floaties, some Snorkels, Swimming Goggles, Swimming Trunks, Neck Whistle, a "Sunblock Nose" option for the face and Sunburn/Tan-line skin options.
So far, the only thing I've got to nitpick on is that Liberty Guard/Red Winter Event is still running on the PTS, though I was only on the PTS for about 5 minutes.
Any possibilities of adding "Unbind Tokens" to the store later on? Would be good for everyone if so!
And I will always be @DZPlayer122.

Not a good idea. Most stuff shouldn't be unbindable as it would trivialize the rarity of the item. Good examples would be any item that does not vanish on binding that grants a costume, gear, and so on. If such an item existed it would have to be extremely picky with what it affected, and I suspect a lot of stuff it shouldn't affect would slip through the cracks.
...Unless that IS your effort. Then I'm sorry. For various reasons.
You guys forgot Gauntlet Chainsaw and Laser Sword. Eh? Eeeeh?
Probably figured not much targetting involved when you are standing right on top of the enemy ;D

@liath nails it again.
Listen to this guy cryptic, he makes more sense than six buckets of sense.

Bug: Doesn't keep you afloat.
I'm actually really tickled about it too. I was making a 'beach day' costume just a few weeks ago and thought how fun an inner tube or some floaties would be!
But it's purpose is silly. And nothing floats in Champs except us fliers.
Try taking a Glacier to Lemuria and cast an Avalanche when you are attacked. The ice sinks.... ...in water. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Some time back PWE took part in a charity event where they encouraged players to donate set sums in return for ingame and real life items. For the most part none of the said items have been delivered (except for a couple of promised AFs and forum titles - which have since been removed with the move to vanilla).
People are feeling that the goodwill which led them to donate to a worthy cause is not being reciprocated by PWE. I tend to agree.

CO - rewards:
Note - since the move back to los gatos it is unlikely we will see an AF of meatiator who isn't allotted to CO anymore.

Players who donated to Extra Life were supposed to get specific items, titles, and the like. As of now, I don't believe we've gotten any of that. Cryptic told us some time ago that it was in the pipeline...and well thats about as far as things got.
The pessimist in me says that charity work is rather hard to justify on a budget, but thats really no excuse for falling down on the job like Cryptic has with this.
On topic:
I'm really digging the water floatie, its a fun little one off costume piece. Oh, and please look into making Targeting Computer work with all tech powers. Its kind of sucky that you can't use it for a saber duelist, or that Automaton can't use its chainsaw attack effectively.
I feel like targeting computer should be at least as viable for tech builds as quarry is, which is sadly not yet the case. I don't feel that it would make targeting OP to work with all tech abilities.
I would make a statement about them giving us a beach item, yet we do not have a social beach zone at all that we can visit that doesn't have to do anything major, much akin to Risa in Star Trek Online, but I am just patiently waiting for this big reveal, even though I think at this point the Champions player base more than deserves a lot more transparency than we have been receiving in the past couple of years.

If not, it'll never beat this glorious offering from PSO2:
Snark never dies.
Well looks like they moved the ring to belts for males... no movement on color bleeds that i can see, or images breaking bounding boxes etc.
Edit: Go speak to defender.. something about the Ironclad Offensive nm might be something old i forgot about

The inflatable giraffe is weird. I like it.
It's funny you mention this, because I actually have one of those since last year, I believe. You can find it here. I would be willing to start a new list since I would hope several of those bugs have at least been addressed in my list, and that one is over a year old now, but I would need help from people to start compiling the bugs. And I would like them compiled correctly, not just saying something is broke, but how you think it is not working correctly so others can also try to help test.

You do realize that Targeting Computer itself says that it boosts only RANGED technology attacks right?
All of this, please. Overdrive's been broken since its inception.
Also, here's a mockup of a beard that does not exist in-game.
Before the move from Cryptic North, it was mentioned to us that this request would be passed to the dev team, but maybe it was lost in the office change.
The existing beard choices in-game are very situational, limited to braided, gunslinger, muttonchops, and gross hobo scrag. And many of them do not connect with the hairline at the sideburns. I'm sure others would agree with me that we would appreciate some more modern beard and possibly hair styles that can be used in a variety of themes. So far, there isn't a beard anything like what's pictured above, yet this is one of the most common beards worn by men in real life.

can't say i even noticed it in there
@ladygadfly - given the feedback on the color bleeds earlier in the thread, do you think this issue will now be fixed before this build hits live? I guess unlikely since we are only a couple of days away from month end now, but it would be great if that issue could be put away given it is a relatively simple fix.

I'm confident we'll have a fix for next week's maintenance.

Awesome, Could you check if Power Bolts, the other Power Armor Energy Builder has the same problem? because it's not triggering or benefiting from Targeting Computer either. Just reconfirmed that Power Bolts is not being recognized by Targeting Computer...
Too bad they stuck a melee tech attack into the Automaton which uses Targeting Computer. Something about that seems wrong.

I agree.
i seriously doubt they would sell such an addition considering code time for just $0.50 or $1.00.
