And what About that ?

Case 52311 History
2005-09-23


Hi MA ,
Before the VU was applied , in my items i had some bombs stuck in world , which i didnt ask because i waited to have at least ten bombs stuck to ask u.

Now after the Vu , my bombs stuck in "World" are "magically gone"
Not in storage , nowhere. Where did they gone ? is this yet a New feature ?? Well i payed for them and i wanna know why u didnt put bombs in storage or let them in "World" ?
Thx

So what' s your guess ? Something else to add to "their own loot pool" ? :wise:

This happened after the last VU all bombs/probes in the world become pick up able...
So chances are they are now in my inventory :D

omg i dont wanna think about it .. :eek:

But then again , was it my fault if it was stuck in world ?
and then being lootable by people which should not be able at all as its a Bug?
they used to reput bombs / probes in storage , so why not after this Vu ?

Well , i hope they wont reply me some Bs as they usually do .. Each Vu they find some way to take us more money , BUT i dont agree on those items stuck in world too , i bought them , they got bugged , they should refund me , simple as that or tell us something about that ..

No , iam not whining ,
yes the spirit of Pe is dying , coz all we see every VU Is MA finding every way possible to get more money from players.nerfing skilling , not resolving true bugs and so on ..

omg am i whining ? :rolleyes:

I have not experienced those problems VF. Is it after a session end and begin or during the same session?

Press X. Tab SWITCH.

I just find it annoying that something as important as an outbid is NOT shown as a messagebox in the main screen. Granted, HAVING to click them away in the middle of a hunt was shite, but if this is the best solution? Please do bring it back.

Has the MA development team ever considered conducting interviewing the actual users? I never had any training in programming, but if I'm not mistaking, that's programming 101.
 
Anyone having trouble with Heal chip? Last night I could heal myself , but I could not heal others :confused:

All others seemed to work fine, except for missing mobes with nerve blast when they are standing in front of me! I don't seem to be getting skills when firing at them with nerve blast as I was before.

Edit: Tested healing chip, back to normal today. Tested Nerve blast, skill gains have returned.

I'll have to check that out tonight. Sounds crappy indeed.

Also, they do communicate to the players and they ARE players.

Come on. If they were ACTUAL players, why are there so much bugs ingame? I AM aware they have avatars meant for playing. But if THEY don't discover the 15 pages or so worth of bugs WE discovered, doesn't that mean something?

I so seriously would LIKE to think and actually believe what you do. But reality just proves that to be a wrong take on thing.

Simplest example? Using the F-keys to change quickbars. EVERYBODY uses that, I am sure. If MA employees do not, that's cause they never had a need to.

My QB:

1) Justifier MK2
2) FF 8k
3) Omegaton 2890
4) Run
5) Cobra ME
6) FAP 5
7) FAP 50
8) Axe
9) Axe
10) Axe
11) Katushi Valor
12) ASG-1 PIG

Sounds quite decent to me. I have mining equipment on another hotlist.Same goes for common action stuff. ANYONE would have caught that bug. UNLESS those people test very limited behaviour of PE.
 
Curoiusly, do you do your part? Do you report bugs?

Officially? As in using support? No.

I use the forum mostly. If I have to bother filing a support request every single time I discover a bug? I should be paid. I will post on a forum I know is watched by MA.

Does that make any of my complaints less valid though? Support for me so far has meant little more than copy and pasted response. Perhaps that's another thing MA might have to work on?

Please use smiles when you jest, its really hard to tell when your making jokes like this. I mean, you are joking right?

As someone who has pumped thousands of dollars, yes - THOUSANDS - into this game/virtual universe whatever.. , I am a little pissed off that you are sugesting that I/we should have to do user acceptance testing in produciton in this application and submit bug reports through MA's FUBAR support organization in order for them to get it right. Thats what my money is supposed to be paying them to do ffs :mad:

I don't know about you, but I think its the comapanies responsibility that owns the code to do thourough testing on their application before they release the code into production. This is obviously not what has happened here.

Yes it was my decision to put money in nobody forced me to buy all that shit, and yes I have filed numerous support cases thinking it might help out, and NO it does not seem to make a F***ing bit if difference to the quality of the product that has been slopped out the last few VU's since I have been here.

Get off it DD, what are you the companies spokesmuffin now ? if so maybe you can communicate back to MA just how many people are seriously pissed about whats happened here, even after Marco wrote that they were taking their time to get it right....

:mad:
 
Perhaps I should clarify myself and my statements a little.

No, I am not ranting for personal gain. Yes, perhaps I should have used the official support channels. HOWEVER, from past experiences? I do not hold the support channels in high regard. And I at least estimate MA reads posts on here. A LOT of player complaints discussed on here were addressed. Hence my choice for this medium. I apologise to MindBuster for that.

And i agree with DD and Svetlana that neg repping them for disagreeing with them, and even more so with their spouses is extremely low. DD and me do NOT agree on this issue, but I can honestly say that neither DD, nor Svet or me went for the neg rep yet. Neither should you. This is an adult discussion. No need for neg rep as long as Knuckles doesn't give it to you :D
 
As a paying customer, yes, I report bugs when I find them. I want them fixed. It is in my best interest and I don't feel I have any right to complain if I haven't notified MA of the problem. I am not any kind of MA rep and everyone knows that. Please don't start spreading any rumours. I am however, compassionate to their position and willing to try to make things work as a player. My "defense" of them is simply to try to bring the community into the fold. We all know how MA opperates. Lets try to work with what we have and be positive. Negativity does nothing for the community and just makes everyone unhappy.

:evilking:

Also, don't even pretend that this is something new for me. I have a long history (since gold) of being the way I am.
 
My ME/03 excavator has been nerfed, I used to be able to pull 13-16 stones per click, now it pulls 5-6 stones per click, but with the same decay as before. I R HATE :mad:
 
<Thread realigned>

Graphics/textures updated
1) new carpets in basement floor of apartments- shop rooms
2) new detailed textures on trees/grass/trunks
3) walls inside and outside SC, apartments, buildings have more details/color/bump layers
4) Avator Hands now have finger detail.

Repositioned objects
1) the TP in Amegatron West dropped a few feet, need to jump before to get up on it(and constantly had to do it again)
2) lag entering apartments (with shops) dramatically reduced.

Anyone found decoys yet?
Since this VU I already found 3 of them, to none before this VU. I don't think this is a coinsidence. They pop up just like fruits and shite...
Or is this just me?
Click to expand...

Yes, I've found 4 decoys so far today. Never found any before.
 
I'm not sure if it has been noted yet, but auctions are back in the client loader :)
 
Although I agree that MA should do more of their own testing and lots of it, you agree to the EULA everytime you log in into PE..and in the said document you agree to:
(In the Rules of Conduct)
n. You must report errors and bugs to MindArk whenever you discover them. Neglecting to report errors or bugs, or using bugs or 'exploits' for own benefits may result in a termination
of your Avatar account, including its virtual items, funds, and abilities.
Click to expand...
...so you actually have to report bugs you find not to breach the EULA and risk termination, sadly knowing what is a bug and what is a feature isn't always easy in PE.

Atrax Prowlers and Atrax Old Alphas have the damage they do switched. Prowlers actually hit less than AOA

I like to know how that happened. :)

The code to do what they did to the VU shouldn't be anywhere near the mob damage section unless the also edited mobs in this VU.

That makes sense since drones are reportingly doing more dmg.

yes is the case with a few monsters. Though I doubt it was intentional, just bad programming.

for hunter refference :

atrax olds <-> Providers
Tanti olds <-> matures

I'm sorry but thats a load of %^!^.

MA were the ones who created the items... them saying that the extra damage is a bug is totally absurd since they were the ones that made it like this. What the bug was, was that they realized it was too economical for their pockets, and so they changed it.

You don't belive that it's possible that somebody accidently added 5 electrical damage, when they mean to add 5 impact, then forgot to remove the 5 elec?

I mean if you look at the pretty consistant eff ratings on all the axes, and notice that no others do electrical damage, it's beyond obvious that this was a mistake by MA.

They make lots of them, they just have a hard time admitting them and/or communicating that fact in english.
 
I'm not 100% sure but: I am using the third-person view when logging in(I pressed first person but changed to mouse movment and not to approach things when interacting and now I come on in 3d) and when I log on I seem to have the exact same position as when I logged off. It used to be: Into first person and face sounth(or west?) - always :D

Since yesterday I have had three support cases. Among them I reported sevral bugs. I allso asked about the 1x0 axes, appart from most others who seemed to think spamming the forums with whining and complaints was a much better way to get a clear answear out of MA. No, I wont comment on that matter further :rolleyes:
