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 here: http://forum.arcgames.com/championsonline/categories/gameplay-bugs1.

This seems like an odd choice but I guess some people might be able to put it to use. What feels like it might have been more useful would be for things like beads, hairbands, and other separate attachments to have the option to set their textures separately from the hair.

I can definitely put that to use. I've had several synthetic characters or the like where I would have killed at the time to be able to make their hair metal.

Agreed!

Metal hair!

Although leather needs to be seen, I think metal is a big win. Maybe one day we can have a psi version to mimic Medusa.

I'm glad capes were renamed for this very reason. Thanks.

Also about the Nighthawk event mission, during cut scenes in front of the elevator and the one after completing it there are issues with team mates appearing.

The elevator scene has your team mates play the collapse animation after the blackout screen. http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/389920645762443301/40FA27A931FB20B7514D10B5839B909290BB15F5/

As for completing the mission, it shows team mate 4 twice instead of team mate 5 in the cut scene. http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/389920645762443598/22BCF2B930F9ACD62D9CC7F1D7DB241B4F07FF2A/

While we are looking at Capes, can we add these to neck as well and visa versa

theravenforce · November 2015

BUG: Hoverboards:

Have no icon when slotted in power tray.

theravenforce · November 2015

Hoverboard Light:

Hoverboard VTOL:

Hoverblade Therakiel:

All are customizable in tailor, although Basic Hoverboard (initial model) doesnt want to show itself outside of the tailor for some reason...

The slow fall on Hoverboards seems to be considerably less than on Ice Slide when standing still, so that's a massive plus.

I do wanna try this above water though >_>

soulforger · November 2015

Hoverboards! WOOT!

theravenforce · November 2015

BUG: Unable to change hair texture / material from "HAIR" to anything else. Drop down menu is empty.

xrazamax · November 2015

Omg Therakiel Hoverboard

Yup, so now we can all say "I have Therakiel's Sword"

squirrelloid · November 2015

I'm going to reiterate: why are the purple incendiaries being reduced to R1 when they were replaced during the event with R2s?

Nighthawk is supposed to cream yourteam in the cutscene!

soulforger · November 2015

I've noticed a massive bug with most drop down menus in the tailor.

theravenforce · November 2015

"Bug": Hoverboards cannot fly over water.

Upon hearing this, Marty Mcfly was all:

On a more serious note...is there any hope that Fractal Aegis will be made more visually appealing? (As per what was said on the previous thread)

aokimi · November 2015

This one has been around for a while, but .... Ninja Leaves still seems broken. If you teleport with it after slow fall is active, instead of just flying forward like other teleports you just go SOARING TO THE GROUND if you try flying forward.

crypticbuxom · November 2015

I'm having huge issues with the Hoverboard unlocking. Using the item from the vendor unlocked two thing that either unlock like a costume or don't do anything. I unlocked what I could then discarded the extra stuff. And after selecting [V1] hoverboard as a travel power (the only one I'm allowed to use) I can't seem to activate it or put into the power tray. Then I'm supposed to choose what design I want from the tailor but still can't put the TP into my power tray.

I'm confused and that shouldn't be the case for a travel power unlock.

UPDATE:
So you have to select the Hoverboard in the tailor under weapons in order for the travel power to work. How will this effect players who have dozens of costumes who want to use the travel power and have to pay to edit the hoverboard on for each? That's a lot of Globals.

Also, primary colors on the costume is overlapping the color choices on the hoverboard. This is a bug that has effect weapons since forever.

Overall I'm glad that the tailor is getting something like this. I'm hoping all Travel Powers get converted into this so we can choose the skin in the tailor without having to Respec when only wanting to change skins and not TP type.

The icon is bugged and doesn't show up on the power traym it is there, but you can't see it. And the default hoverboard is bugged and you can't see it.

===>BUG<===</b>
Im in pts tailor right now and it seems ALL auxiliary options for pieces, etc are unavailable. When you go to change something like texture or extras it just drops a super short blank bar. This seems to have affected EVERYTHING in tailor. This happening to anyone else?
Also, it won't let me travel to my pts toons' hideouts >=(

Good stuff

This was meant to be r1 even though it was clearly a purple item (as opposed to the blue r2)? Are you suuuuuuuure?

circleofpsi · November 2015

BUG: Hoverboards:

1. Have no icon when slotted in power tray. 2. Main Hoverboard does not want to show up at all, when picking the travel power, just floating there 3. No new SFX for hoverboards. 4. Huge unlocking issues, such as No other levels. 5. Ranking does nothing SFX wise & visual wise, unlike the hover disc 6. Light Hoverboards lack of SFX. 7. Need more hoverboards, Fire/Ice/Toxin/PSI/Holo

Suggestion: All TP have the excat same choice in tailor, including all weapons, power armor & PSI weapons. Including this:

crosschan · November 2015

Suggestion/Request/Plea: If Rocket Pack/Boots is a 5 for speed and Flight is a 1 for speed, could Hover Disk(a 1 for speed) get a promotion to like 3 or 4 please? It does have the penalty of that drag...and hoverboards are faster.

Same tailor issue here. Costume pieces are available, but material, pattern and diffuse selection is missing for anything where you lack a specific unlock.

As far as hideouts go, they've not been available on pts for a long time. In general, you won't have any account based unlocks from live, you have to unlock them seperately on pts.

Aye, thats what I meant by a massive bug in the tailor with drop down menus with one of my earlier posts.

ladygadfly · November 2015

Thanks for the feedback folks! We have a fix for the tailor dropdowns and that should be on PTS today.

Finally a good use for my therakiel sword.

I use mine to dice vegetables...wait! I don't have one (looks at lair drops)

it's those onions, they just dissolve the metal so fast.

"Avian Costume Changed the unlock so it can be purchased in the Gold Subscriber store by silvers who have the 900 day perk."

Woo!

"Nighthawk Penthouse - Fixed issue where pets entering the trigger volume for the downstairs lobby cut-scene prevented players from progressing further in the mission."

Isn't that the same thing that happens with Fury of the Dragon?

xrazamax · November 2015

I think a small increase to the length of Fractal Aegis is in order. An increase from 10 seconds to 15 seconds would put it in line with the defensive buffs provided by Active Defenses.

crosschan · November 2015

Suggestion/Question: Could we maybe get advantages on powers other than R2 and R3? It's been years since we got a power with an actual advantage? I'd love to see this become a thing again...especially if it has the word Ultimate attached to it.
