Bug Report 15.5.0 VU BUG report

Pet statue placed to big

 

[Paul Jetman Masters]

altho untested, both faction and new turrelion badges are showing as lootable, I guess this isn't intended?

 

[Murkalael]

Scary Hackfin still bugged

 

[LadyMichelle]

Not a bug...more of a suggestion. I really hate that Vlad the Unraveler is on a timer. I mean we go through enough b.s. just to get to him, only to have to stand and wait for an hour because somebody else just got there. This'll only get worse as we get a larger population (hopefully). I like to do all of my daily tasks at one time. Going to do the maze, then rechecking every hour or so is extremely irritating.

While in the maze you continually get the message "This loot is claimed by someone else" even when not looting anything.

 

[Kris | Cyrene]

Thanks guys, working on getting these resolved for the Mini Patch.

In the description text of the Mazeweaver Certificate: "The Mazeweaver Syndicate is compromised of..." is probably supposed to read "is comprised of". Then it's "colonists' skills" and finally "its" instead of "it's" in the last sentence.

You get these messages even standing near the maze (e.g. at the Desert Ruins tp).

Thanks guys,

I'm 90% sure this comes from the auto loot on these mobs, it will be disabled for the Mini Patch.

Cheers,
Kris

another thing, could the vladwings respawn in the maze be made more random? the fast respawn in teh exact location with auto loot could lead to auto tool killing while afk

Paneleon follow up animation is bugged (It runs in reverse direction).
Please keep the statues that big it is excellent for decoration of apartments and shops

It's hard to gauge if you guys like the pet items to be big or small, anyone else care to weigh in?

+1 for big (well, perhaps not bigger than 'natural' (i.e. spawned) size)

In markets where there are few sellers and lots of potential buyers, making it the way buyers like is good for sellers in the long run - just that some sellers don't realize this yet.

I find this not so important really, but I have neither appartment nor shop so far and therefore no reason for keeping the statue in world. The opinions of those with estates probably carry more weight here. It seems that for all practical purposes a small statue would be better. Although it looks awesome, just the other day I saw a Paneleon standing in an appartment enclosed by glass walls. Really cool, but it overwhelms anyone's space. (Edit: If it stays that way that only Cyrene pets have oversized statues, of course it serves as excellent advertisement for the planet.)

But concerning the actual pets -- I am still utterly saddened at MA's recent step to shrink the ancients. There were several heated debates on PCF where pvp'ers complained that their victims-to-be would keep e.g. a big fat Exarosaur spawned and hide behind it from getting shot. MA seemingly reacted to this (they didn't say, but it sure looks that way also in light of their policies in favour of pirates) and sided with those who dislike any such creative means of defense in pvp zones. Very much to the dismay of current owners, who not only got an existing item changed by force, but as a consequence also its market value destroyed. I consider such an act a cardinal sin and a reminder to never trust in the value of virtual goods. The consequences of this can only hurt the company living off this trust, but they don't seem to see it that way.

Anyways. This was a just a short while after the introduction of the Cyrene "big species" pets, which I hadn't seen in reality yet, only the oversized statues. For a brief moment I had hoped this was done on purpose as an act of defiance and the pets were actually of the same size when summoned. I found out only later that it was not so. I wonder if such an act of defiance of a planet partner is still possible and would be seen in a positive light by the C-Team, and possibly met with more sympathy by the community here rather than allowing themselves to be ruled by a small but very vocal lobby group that instigated the change above.

The short version for those who hate a wall of text: I'd like Rhino Beetle and Paneleon (and all other) pets to be their species' exact counterparts. Else the whole system makes no sense to me.

while slightly off-topic, id like the pets to gain in size with lvls, start small but at lvl 100 are pretty big

Yeah! Pets should be invisible and have no sound!

 

[jetsina]

Hi - any word on the 'bug' of there being no harvestable trees on Cyrene?

Potentially grats on the maze - not on Cyrene to check it out - but having a single mob on a timer is once again NOT great. Let's call it a bug in order to be kind, yes?

 

[Murkalael]

Oh another thing, not game related but forum, if I answer a new topic it automatic make me watch the tread and get notified by e-mail, and this is starting to be annoying.

 

[Rusty Venture]

I sell the paneleon exclusively because they are so large in my shop people buy them as decorations.

Dunno if intended:
