    You can't technically have certain costume bits or extra costume slots on test. So when you try to swap it will think it's invalid.

    Hideouts are Broken. My list doesn't show up. It's only set to one hideout, and I can not customize my layout.

    LAAAAAAME.

    *looks into crystal ball 6 months future*

    "Open Missions should now all work" actual patch breaks pick up/throw. Also Manipulator still sucks and/or does not scale energy with INT anymore.



    How many fixes are going to get unfixed before players just give up? Why were the Legacy Items removed in the first place?

    IS there an internal quality check? Do you actually listen to all the bugs reported on PTS?


    I say this all NOW so that in 3 months I can point back to it and prove I said it out loud.

    Omg.... the login screen now remembers the PWE login username... huzzah!! it was tiring to retype it everytime each time I switched character.

    Edit: also... is it me or did they optimize the client as well?? my fps feel way higher than on live (and yeah I am comparing inside the battle station, so its not that there are not other players around or something)

    OH!!! They fixed the login screen to remember the PWE username. That is good news.

    The hideout thing has been happening to me for a while now.


    Since there is no z-store on the pts, it doesn't acknowledge that you have any. That's why none show up on the list.

    But, if you transfer a character from live (that has a hideout assigned), you are able to go into their hideout on the pts, just by clicking the travel button (regardless of the empty list).



    It's quite similar in the way the costume sets work. You can transfer a character with bought costume pieces to the test server and have them show up, but if you go in the tailor, they all disappear. And if you make a new character, none of the bought costume pieces show up on the list.

    If this is true...

    Dear Cryptic,
    Please stop Stealth Patching the game. When you fix something(like the annoying login issues) then that's when you want to tell people about it. It is good for PR. It earns praise. It's good for community. Actually, please make 2013 "The Year of The Complete Patch Notes."
    -Thanks, Cross. :wink:

    Scratch my comment about the client being optimized. I just did an actual fps comparison and its the exact same.

    They had a file to replace on the Drifter's store (because the Tanks were being removed from his availability because the Grav Bikes were out) and they uploaded the wrong file (one of his first ones instead of the one that held the Legacy items).

    And they didn't verify it before it got replaced.

    Simple mistake. An annoying one, yes, as Cryptic seems to keep making mistakes, but a simple mistake in the end.

    I've given up checking out the test server. It is good to see some things being fixed but to wave new powers at us for a while and then rip them completely from test never to be spoken of again is a load of crap.

    ^ Agreed.

    This is probably one of the things I am most bitter about. The whole idea of new powers especially related to the things I was intrested in was so good that I converted from Silver to LTS within a week of hearing about them..still...four months down the line I am waiting to play my main character...

    I understand other things take precidence but at least allowing them to be on the PTS and have perhaps a forum of suggestions to improve/debate about the powers would be nice.

    and yet again no dev/gm reply on this matter either. It feels like they just want us to forget the powers ever showed up on the pts.
    Unless....they are secretly giving it A LOT of love and reworking the entire set ( including the older powers ) instead of only adding powers.
    But you'd think that by now we would have heard something about that if that was the case ^^
