Welcome to the Quality Corner!

v4liance

Hey folks,

I just wanted to quickly introduce you to an exciting new forum, the Quality Corner! Our testing team will be working directly with you all to locate, reproduce, and report bugs so that we can more effectively serve you and create a better game experience.

We'll be doing our best to fix all the bugs we can, but as always, we can't promise when bugs will get fixed, and some things may not be possible.

Be sure to check out the Submissions Guidelines post to learn how to report bugs.

Couple of quick notes:
- Necro-ing is allowed, so long as the update is regarding a bug that either 1) has new information or 2) has broken again.
- Thread rating for importance is encouraged.
- Be sure to use thread prefixes when labeling your bug posts. We may add additional prefixes, as needed.
- Follow the submission guidelines, or we reserve the right to completely ignore you ^___^

This is a work in progress, and we'll keep evaluating and making changes as needed.

But the key thing is that we want to do even better, and we're hoping you can help us do that.

Quite a brilliant idea you have here! Great way to connect with the community

I'm a little confused about the [Suggestion] option.
We already have a suggestion forum... and a "New Suggestion Thread" <_<
Is the suggestion forum obsolete now?

Toomaga - Heavens Tear

I look forward to thisb:victory.

That's a good point, and something we'll have to keep an eye on. The suggestion forum is definitely still the best place for new ideas and general suggestions.

For this forum, the [Suggestion] tag is primarily related to suggestions for this forum itself, as well as suggestions on reproducing, fixing, or otherwise dealing with specific bugs.

There may well be some cross-over, and we'll see if changes need to be made, either way.

So is this section more for bugs reports only and not for suggestions?

Exactly. Have a look through the guidelines for this new section of the forum for any clarification.

If you have a suggestion or idea about anything else related to the Perfect World we inhabit Fuzzy would point to the forum section for just that purpose which can be found here.

I am wondering if this should be renamed to something more the lines of "Bug Tracker"? I have a feeling this current title will be misunderstood by players who don't read guidelines and/or intros and use this as a new suggestion forum.

Jacerai - Dreamweaver

I like this, a lot. b:cute

Kitkate - Dreamweaver

I'm really glad to see this up. =D

Decus - Dreamweaver

Excellent initiative. I am happy to see this.

Slice/nDice - Archosaur6

there is a fairly minor bug with the public quest 3, every time you complete an objective the quest vanishes, meaning you must go to re-aquire the quest, u do not lose progress with your public quest, it is however a tad bit bothersome

I agree with this. "Quality" as in "Quality Assurance" has a different meaning in industry than it does in everyday conversation. Most people think quality is "better than average" but in industry it means nothing bad gets exposed to the customer.

I'd just call this forum "Bug Reports" just so people are clear what the function is supposed to be.

I agree, otherwise things like this (Marriage Quest Suggestion) will happen.

Nice idea but for me it sounds like a dream and nothing more...ppl will write bugs and problems, will feel good for doing sth- and be disappointed if the bug is still there in a few months. Nothing will rly change but I will still give it a try and hope....

Fryvorg - Sanctuary

I aboslutely love the idea you've come up with! But...

I support this, too. If I hadn't read the introduction, I wouldn't have known the purpose. However, there are people who skip such things and just post what they think belongs in here...

In regards of keeping the alliterations of some other forum's titles, I'd suggest
(Bug Bantering EDIT: just noticed we already have a "guild banter" forum...)

Good to see this around here finally! I hope it's going to work out well and improve things in the gamef:victory

Hi,

is this new thread only for ingame bugs or also "outgame"?

Outgame I mean things like "Blessing page", "core connect" and so on.

Because then I would suggest the Blessing Page. It posts on facebook the pwi message, but it says on the website "No character on server found". I couldn't even select a server and I have for sure a character on at least one server.

Miugre - Heavens Tear

You guys have created a monster here. :P Three pages in 18 hours... wow.

I think you could stem the flow of unrealistic suggestions by splitting this into two subforums with the same basic submission system. "Bug Tracker" would follow the rules of this board to the letter and be exclusively for bugs (anything else would be locked/moved). "General Improvement" could be another sub board exclusively for non-bug related suggestions.

BUT... and here's the kicker... any thread posted there would need to have significant community support. You could, perhaps, use the Suggestion Box as catch-all area for suggestions, and then elevate threads to the General Improvement board when they reach a certain point (a certain number of unique posters in the thread, or a certain number of uniuqe "Support" votes on a poll). This way, Val and geno and the others could attack the highest-priority issues to the community without wading through a bunch of fringe issues to get there.

Yes quite a brilliant idea, if only you had done this during the past years of people asking for something like this and before so many people have quit the game due to you blowing them off.

We'll field all problems here. My team and I are not directly in charge of the Facebook issues but we can make sure those who are will be aware of it.

Magnanimous_ - Heavens Tear awards 10 points to genotypist!
genotypist now has a total of 20 points and is in 21st place.
Magnanimous_ - Heavens Tear can still award another 20 points today.

Check this thread for the current high scores and to learn how to award points to others.

After further consideration and review, I've removed the "Suggestion" prefix to prevent further confusion.

Any suggestions regarding this forum or for how to handle specific bugs can be handled in threads without a specific suggestion tag.

Thanks!

Thank all of you-hopefully it won't get overwhelming but it is great to see real "faces" when there are issues.

Can we have a better description of what you can and can't fix.

Like change text in skill vs changing how skill work or effect they have.
