If they aren't going to revert to pre-patch data (that doesn't include the most-current patch), that means they will have to take the pre-patch inventory tables and dig out the 5th bag contents from the character data.. and add back the bags and their contents to the current data. Which, of course, will overwrite anything anyone added to any new bags during the 30 minutes of play time too. So they'll have to either script it out or hand-jam it.
Thankfully, that's not the case. I can't go into the details, but the non-confidential version is that the items were never deleted, so they never need to be re-granted.
If they had actually been deleted, yours traily would be much closer to actual panic -- as it stands, it's not too bad of a situation, just taking a bit to resolve.
You all realize of course that this is all disinformation being spread by the government-controlled PR machine. This is the REAL reason why Champions Online has become Champions Offline:
Sometime this morning, an RPer in CC, deliberately and with malice aforethought, punched through the Fourth Wall. It's structural integrity compromised, Club Caprice collapsed into RenCen, burying hundreds of PvPers. Rescuers are working feverishly to sort through the wreckage, and so far the death toll has exceeded 200, and several hundred RPers have been psychologically traumatized.
I'm sorry to be the bringer of such dire news, but I just thought you all deserved to know the truth.
At least all those PvPers and RPers aren't going to be worried about getting their rare drop back.
Well why the heck AREN'T they on the test server? EVERYTHING touched by a release should be able to be tested by the designated testers. It's no WONDER stuff like this happens.
It was and problems were spottede and reported about missing content, accounts not being updated, missing bags
so was very surprised to see it moved to live, with no sign of any of those bugs being fixed on test.
Whats the point of having a test sever, with subs and LTS testing any new content first for free, providing feedback, when they just gonna go with management/ marketing pressures..
this situation could of been avoided, if they were not so lax in their procedures.
Shows more of that unprofessionalism trend currently doing the rounds in IT atm.
No one gives a damn about the quality of their work, only about meeting targets and deadlines. does not matter if it functional or the impact it makes on the users or the corporate idenity.

Can you give a link to those reports, I keep an eye on the PTS forums, but I haven't seen it reported at all.
The reason why I didn't even bat an eye at unlocks changing on PTS (and I did notice that bag thing on PTS too), is that unlocks on PTS are not copied over since for ever. Just thought the bag thing was related to that.

New reports coming in.
Apparently the previous story is a falsified account created by UNTIL and spread by the Millennium City Police.
The true story is that the fountain in Caprice had backlogged so much it began to flood the club. This eventually corroded the building until it crashed and flooded the entire RenCen with toxic, foul water. The death toll is an alarming rate with about 500 dead and 4000 contaminated with the liquid. Workers are trying to keep it from spreading out past the RenCen before going in to stop the fountain. Many are being flown in from out of state and those workers will be receiving an enormous sum for their heroic effort, any deceased from the work will have their money given to next of kin.
WHO is calling this a major epidemic.

AWWWW CHAMPIONS UNIVERSE! DON'T YOU DARE. BE SOUR. CLAP FOR YOUR NIGHTMARE AND FEEEEEEEEEEEL THE POWAAAAAAH!
It was and problems were spottede and reported about missing content, accounts not being updated, missing bags
Most of the bugs that were reported could be chalked up to the differences between PTS and the live servers, which complicated the testing.
We've got a fix up on the Live servers. We're testing it very carefully, and if there are any issues, we may need to try a new fix. If it does work, though, we could have the servers up between 2:15 and 2:30.
Once the servers are up, we'll keep it under close observation, make sure everything works. If we find issues, it might require some action.
Well, so much for my finally having a day to relax and game. I FINALLY had a day that I was going to have all not studies and the game is down. I got exactly 55 minutes of play time which might be gone if there is a rollback. Tomorrow, I have school most of the day again and getting ready for finals Oh, well, just get it fixed guys! (To those who are REALLY being hurt by this bug, ::hugs::. The part I hate is these bugs were ones that didn't affect me as I am less than 100 days with this account. - Long time gamer just not in CO)
First off, I know myself and at least ten other LTS people have been on PTS, checking out the nerfs because it informs our builds and what we THINK we're going to do about it. Secondly, I know I saw other people on PTS outside of that circle of friends, so I can only assume that there were other people on test as well. Other than being a little crashy, test was very stable and I didn't see anything out of the ordinary. Since test was going on with Bloodmoon, I figured the crashy was because of server load, so fine.
HOWEVER, all that notwithstanding, they pushed a costume live that wasn't on test. Furthermore, ALL non-standard, paid, and vet award costume pieces on test CANNOT be accessed because for some reason, they broke the account flags for purchased things / vet time on PTS. So it would be impossible to test if those things were broken or not because they can't be accessed on test ever since PWE took over ANYWAYS.
Ergo: This is not a PTS play testing issue. This is Cryptic/PWE NOT loading test with all relevant changes before pushing stuff live.
Why don't we just stick to having heads roll in general?
OH HEY! A new powerframe that requires you to Use Your Head for once! :biggrin:

This is the very same boat I'm in. I was hoping to get some real playtime and check out the new goodies. Only difference between you and I, I have class tonight and I'm pretty sure I won't see the "fix" happen before then. It has taken 7 hours to roll out a 1 1/2 patch and we are still waiting for any real news. Oh well...

yeah totally agree
management pressures..
I mean for example
we were told ages ago that one of the reasons the online store was closed, was due to worries about people purchasing keys to test drop rates of items from lockboxes
then most recently keys were allowed for testing, but shop was still closed
I think shop been closed on test for like over 2 years??. This sort of placed it around when they decided to place CO in min maintainence mode.
due to NWO release dates, and STO content/support being priority, thanks to the IP belonging to other stakeholders.
on a seperate note
TT!!
Are we allowed to post test server links on this part of the forum ?

I was on PTS the other day, and the 5th bag was in fact missing, and had the "Buy with Zen" bag Icon.
In an incredible move of both dodge change focused tunnel vision, and outright personal stupidity I didn't report it
Vet rewards are not on PTS, so those were probably not possible to find, but the missing bag was a failure to either notice or act by those on PTS

I was on test last night, swapping pieces in and out of my 5th bag-I grabbed a BUNCH of Justice tights to test out some gearing combinations when they were in the debug store, all of which are in my 5th bag.
So... y'know. It was there for me as recently as Wednesday night.
are all the problems fixed? is there any special info we should have?
One known issue:
-Veterans who already had these perks may end up with duplicated unlock items in their inventories.
-Three of the items are not discardable. We're working to fix this in the next build, but it isn't bad enough that we'd need to keep the servers down.

I think it was Tuesday I went on to check the damage difference between characters with offensive passives and defensive passives. Upon getting ingame I immediately noticed the "Buy Bag slot" icon replaced one of my bags, and clicking it took me to a blank store screen. I then closed the window and went to shoot at dummies to get damage numbers at various levels of damage buffs, roles, and passives for about half an hour.
The fault is with Cryptic on this one they have their own playtesters and if they dont and rely on players well that makes it EVEN MORE their fault.
Fella named Parker said something like that once.
Not much later, his uncle was dead, killed by someone Parker could have stopped, except that it wasn't supposed to be his job...

Most things seem to be ok, (aside from the already mentioned issue of characters having useless "items" representing veteran rewards), but I can't seem to locate any Avian Warrior costume pieces on the character creator. Is there any process I need to go through or should they already be available?

Thanks, but I was already aware of that. Doesn't change the fact I don't have any of the costume parts. I have checked the location of every piece on the Wiki and confirmed that not a single one is available to me.
Edit: I thought I had the Nephilim stuff, but apparently I only have the ones I had already unlocked on my own. The leg accessories (Nephilim Large and Nephilim Blade Large) are missing.

I have become a lifetime subscriber some 2 or 3 weeks ago. All veteran rewards should currently be available to LTS. It seems all the other rewards are in order (titles, items, tokens, slots, bag, Spartan Lion costume, Glow Tights costume, et cetera), only the bird people costume is missing
Hello, I'm Kajatae. I've been playing CO off and on since the game launched. I bought a lifetime sub quite a while ago (aprox. 1 year ago.) I've noticed a few issues with the new Vet rewards upgrade for lifetime subscribers:
One of my characters recieved the accolades and titles, but no items. This is a low level character (level 10 or so.)
My second character recieved all items and accolades; however, I get an error message saying I can't use the items.
A third character had the same issue.
I did not recieve duplicates of any Vet rewards that I had previously earned. I'm not sure if this information will be helpful. I'm not a beta tester or anything, but I hope it helps. I'm looking forward to playing with the new toys you've given us, just as soon as you get them working again
So, I keep having problems with costumes not appearing. I have noticed I can access the bird people stuff, but only if I go to the in-game tailor.
Meanwhile the Long Boots Gravitar I got is not available during character creation nor the tailor (the gloves work fine, though). I even bought another one from the auction to be sure and yeah, it says I already have it.
Well, I sent a ticket in the support page a few days ago and I'm keeping it updated as I notice more costumes working incorrectly. Is there anything else I can do?
One potential workaround is to click on the treasure-chest icon in the tailor (and during creation), and type in "gravitar" in the search bar. If you can find it that way, just click on the item, then on the Equip button on the bottom. (I occasionally have trouble finding an item, usually because it's not in the category I was expecting, but this always finds it for me.)
"Science teaches us to expect -- demand -- more than just eerie mysteries. What use is a puzzle that can't be solved? Patience is fine, but I'm not going to stop asking the universe to make sense!"
Well, sort of...I can equip it through the unlocked costumes tab, but even with it equipped it doesn't appear on the list of feet items in the lower body tab. Pretty weird.
Bird people doesn't appear in the character creator even searching in the unlocked costumes, though. yet it is accessible normally in the tailor. Double weirdness.
Oh, well, it least I now have an workaround for each issue until the support can get around to figuring out how to fix this.
I hope I don't run into more of these problems, though. At least my recently acquired Dragon Armor stuff is working.
