Week 3: March 18, 2015

Hello!

Much of this week was spent getting VCRs access to the test server and finishing setup. This has now been completed, so they will be able to test new content and certain fixes before the changes go to the live servers (Odin and Freyja). We hope the feedback from those involved with testing will aid in ensuring that new content and fixes for old content are ready to be released.

Updates to VCR program members:

- Donchan (Odin) was removed from the program.

Hot Topics & Known Issues

- Update on Imoogi’s combat issue and Battle Tactics adjustment: the fix has been patched to the test server. We have just finished getting the VCRs all set up with the test server so they can test it. Testing will be happening this week.

Bug Report Summary

Reported issues are given one of the following categories:

- Critical - these are bugs that have game-breaking implications, interfere with gameplay or combat (especially PvP), or are exploitable.

- Moderate - these bugs present an annoyance to users, may confuse or frustrate players that don't understand them, but don't have a major impact on gameplay.

- Minor - these bugs are mostly visual issues or quirks; they don't actually have any substantial impact on gameplay but should probably be fixed anyway.

- Tweak - this is a suggested change to an existing part of the game that isn’t working right. Tweaks are lower priority than Minor, but are still evaluated by the development team.

For certain issues, we may ask members of the community (you!) to help us gather some information. These will be listed under “Needing More Information” with a description of what is being requested. Work will continue on the issue as normal, but will go faster and/or be more beneficial to everybody with your input.

Recently Reported

- [Critical] Assassin Rank A Quest: abandoning one of the quests causes the player to get stuck in the quest chain, and unable to achieve A Rank. Until this is fixed, we ask that you please do NOT abandon the Assassin A Rank quests. If you have already done so, please submit a ticket at http://support.warpportal.com with your information, and they will be able to get your quests back on track.

- [Critical] Added information to Fall Damage bug, and re-submitted it. Still looking for more information because this is a nasty bug.

- [Critical] Added information to Speed Hack error bug, and re-submitted it.

- [Critical/Moderate] Tuxedo from February Costume Box won’t seem to fuse.

- [Critical/Moderate] Warrior's Bowling Bash description states that it generates Aura, which may be confusing.

- [Moderate] Guardian level 2 quest: the craft needed for completing the quest is not able to be learned yet when the quest becomes available.

- [Moderate] Eremes Clone in Abandoned Lab Normal is always there; he should only be available when a player is attempting the proper rank quest.

- [Moderate] Detect Weakness skill is not functioning properly.

- [Moderate] Dark Whisper Upper Archers often display in the wrong location, especially when luring. If this happens to you, you can use any pet that will move to a monster (ex. Mermaid, Poring, or Flip) to detect the actual location, and focus your attacks there.

- [Moderate] Master Battle Manual Order name confusion has been submitted. It was suggested to change the name of the 30 minute item to “Expert Battle Manual Order”, change the icon, and unify the descriptions to make the duration obvious on all Battle Manual Order items.

- [Minor] Certain UI elements getting cut off (player and NPC name info). This was previously fixed for locations in Forgotten Payon, but also happens in Guild House.

- [Minor] Forgotten Payon monster Dragon Tail/Tale has inconsistent name.

- [Minor] Added info to warriors sometimes having a twisted wrist.

- [Minor] Sorcerer’s Lord of Vermillion: the texture that should be at ground level is currently much higher.

- [Minor] PvP Arena’s scarecrows give “invisible” damage.

Needing More Information

- [Critical] Fall Damage issue was returned to us because it needs more information. We have re-submitted this, but would still appreciate more information. Any videos the community would be able to provide will be included to assist in the search for this issue’s root cause.

Recently Fixed

- Portals not facing the player in the proper direction - more locations fixed. As we find and report more portals that are incorrect, more will be fixed.

- Miho pet was listed in the Monster Collection window as “Tale” and is now properly listed.

- Tomb of Osiris’ Set will no longer be half-buried.
