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.

    Suggestion: Unless there's a new never-expiring [Snowball], PLEASE remove the timer off of the ones that drop! Frankly, this should hold true for every item that ever drops that has a timer on it. People LOVE collecting these things! People will buy more bank space and such to hold these!

    BUG: Whenever anyone uses the Boost on Dasher Winter Sleigh EVERYONE in the area gets their screen shaken around.

    FYI: There still is no Fiery Head Aura.

    BUG?: At about 60 seconds ago, the Legacy Aura Vendor suddenly dropped dead for no reason and despawned.

    EDIT: About 2 minutes later the vendor reappeared. Weird.

    BUG: The Victorian Coat Tails (Jacket Bottom) has multiple issues on females (some of which no doubt crosses over to males):

    1) It's available in EVERYTHING (as is the rest of the costume set for some reason).

    2) On females, in Vixen stance, it clips right into and through their rear ends. It's completely unusable it looks so bad. In Heroic stance it clips a bit, in Average stance it clips more, and in Beast stance it looks fine.

    The Legacy Aura vendor loses health over time. The fake passives are literally doing single points of damage per second.

    So that's what it is. Oops.

    That said, I love how it cycles Legacy Auras. So now everyone can tell what said Aura looks like by just waiting for the buff.

    BTW, the life drain is an external force of some sort. I just saw somebody bubble the Vendor, and she took no damage while the bubble was up.

    BUG: The two pieces of carpet in front of our Hero Santa is misaligned. Has been since the first Winter Event. A picture of how you can tell it's off:
    https://www.dropbox.com/s/4oo0huychx4gbrz/screenshot_2013-12-03-19-48-07.jpg
    One piece of the carpet is slightly higher or off by a single pixel, causing the glitch.

    I suspect that its the damage type that applies a specific aura while being hit by it.

    BUG: while you are fixing stuff in kabuki land, if you use the kabuki mask on a female in leather or metal, there are no alternate patterns available.. dont think this is intended behaviour.


    Bug: victorian costume binds on pickup rather than on equip, this seems out of sync with other recent lockbox costume items such as the santa suit or the recent dino suit.Note if this is a cstore set, then pickup is correct, however clipping issues should be resolved.


    Bug: Holiday Gifts. I picked up my holiday gift from under the tree but I didnt get anything.
    Come Back Tomorrow for Another Gift!

    Bug: Victorian Inner Monocle glass, Victorian Coat tails, and Santa Coat Bottom are marked as _Hidden: Player Start. I'm not sure if that was intentional.

    Likes:
    • Legacy Aura Vendor Cycles Through Auras-- Nice touch!
    • Aura Inventory "works" now. :D
    • Victorian Mutton Chops! That's two new facial hair options this season with the Santa beard. :3

    Dislikes:
    • AFAIK no commands for auras for keybinds. :/

    Also:
    • Sorry for healing the legacy vendor. Didn't see the "test female" standing there.

    Actually, I'm pretty sure the Victorian set is a Cstore item. Its not showing up in the lockbox loot table. I imagine its part of the next wave of C-store costume loot.

    I second this. Also the lapels of the female jacket clip the shoulders.

    Ok, costume time:

    Bug: Santa Hood clips with ALL Female hair

    Bug: Victorian Jacket: Jacket Bottom clips with female tooshie.

    Bug: Victorian Jacket: Back of female toon sleeve seams there's something clipping through on ALL options.

    Bug: Victorian Jacket: Female Cloth options does not look like cloth. it looks like "Mildly less shiny second leather option."

    Bug: Windup Key: Cannot be colored AT ALL.



    Suggestions: Alot of the costume unlocks, IMO, could make better use of the fact we have FOUR coloring options. For example(BTW, if there isn't a real 4th coloring option my "go to" is the Sci-Fi Irridescent Glow Aura since that thing should be used whenever possible IMO to add more options...and it's cool):

    -Victorian Vest: 1. Vest, 2. Trim, 3. Buttons, 4. Pocket tops.
    -Victorian Trousers: 1. Trousers, 2. Buttons, 3. Center crotch patch, 4. Irridescent glow aura
    -Victorian Coat: 1. Coat, 2. Collar, 3. Cuffs, 4. Buttons
    -Victorian Trousers: 1. Pants, 2. Buttons, 3. Crotch area, 4. Irridescent glow
    -Victorian Cravat: 1. Cravat, 2. Upper Knot, 3. Neck Bit(because it clips alot), 4. Irridescent glow aura

    -Windup Key: 1. Base, 2. Key, 3. Irridescent glow aura

    -Santa Hood: 1. Hood, 2. Trim, 3. Ball 4. Irridescent glow aura
    -Santa Coat: 1. Base, 2. Center, 3. Cuffs, 4. Irridescent glow aura
    -Santa Belt: Just add the Irridescent glow aura to 4.

    (In case you were wondering why the Aura System took so long, it's because Auras are dangerous, folks!)

    Victorian Shoes scale weirdly. On male.
    If you want thickness to the shoes, you end up with clown shoes. A long and thin ones...
    I guess having a flatfoot is not hip anymore....
    And the jackets sleeves look strange. Don't think they wore tubes on them.....

    BUG: Telekinetic Burst does not interact with any applicable Form powers. Does not generate stacks of Concentration on hit from any distance or charge, or stacks of Focus (Form of the Tempest) on critical hit.

    This has been a bug in every Live and PTS build since this power was introduced, but since you guys are actually paying attention to this one, maybe we can get it fixed?

    Ok.. can you please tell me, how the hell are we able to test these changes?
    the c-store on test has been disabled since the arrivial of "Alerts"
    can you now enable this feature again, as the unlocks we have purchased, are not available on test, plus allows us to test those unlocks and other content more effectively
    and for another point
    the bunderbuss and aquabus are not NEW!!
    those were weapon skin unlocks from before the "Alert" release of the game.

    Doubt there are any plans to fix the c store on PTS. Though most everything that requires real testing has been available from the Debugger. So glad they have added costume sets to Debugger for testing.

    I dont think adding a button that links to the c store really requires a lot of testing.

    Hi Devs, has there been any progress made regarding the bugs on LIVE and PTS listed in this thread?

    HERE

    AFAIK, everyone's aware of them and I was told it was being investigated.

    Any idea what has caused such bugs?
