The Eden Trial awards 2 merits. Merits are awarded immediately upon completion, rather than mission exit or calling the contact. So it seems that you got the reward and the Titan does not award merits.

That's what the Eden Trial is worth. The Titan is a "Monster", not a "Giant Monster", and as such is not worth any merits.

However, the Arachnos Flyer in the STF *DOES* give 2 merits (and since it respawns, you can farm it - for 6 merits an hour). I wonder if both are working as intended, or if one is bugged.

[/ QUOTE ]

Well, you get a badge for the flier and not for the titan AFAIK so it could be that merit drops are tied to badges somehow for monsters.

Bug Description: Lost earned XP
Link to Forum Discussions: n/a

I spent 3 hours working this toon from level 18 to level 20. I had about 1 bar of Patrol XP when I started. The missions run were not mine and I was not a leader. I was not sidekicked but for one short field hunt I exemplared the leader. I did not train at each level but was waiting to train up all at one time. I logged out for about 15-20 minutes and when I logged back in and went to the trainer I found I had lost my earned and patrol xp. I was set back to level 18 without any xp earned or the original patrol xp I had when I started.

This was very discouraging to me to lose the 2 levels I had spent hours gaining.

Character name: Cryo Sage
Time: Tues Dec 9, 7:00 PM pst

Bug Description: Cannot enter Base.

After a 200 day leave of absence, cannot enter base.
Base is using the smallest plot and previously paid no tax.
According to Super Group Settings, there is 200k prestige to spare.
Message: CANNOT ENTER YOUR BASE. BASE UPKEEP IS DUE.
So I go see the guy in Port Oakes.
He says, "Your base upkeep is already paid up!"

Threatening the Super Group Registrar produced no results.

Collapsing Inventions

Server: Any
Zone: Any
Character name: All my characters
Time: All the time with i13
Location: Anywhere
Mission: N/A
Mission Contact: N/A
Bug Description: Invention UI collapses each time it is closed, regardless of zoning, entering buildings (such as Universities) or exiting the Invention UI.

It doesn't close all the way, but it leaves categories up, but each recipe is collapsed each time the UI closes. With all the recipe categories available via the Invention Tables, it becomes a matter of finding needles in a haystack.

It may be related to the Invention UI screen being expanded.

This is not a bug linked to I13. It has existed for quite a while now as a Known Issue.

It happens after long periods of inactivity in a base. You need to petition a GM to come and fix it for you. Once a GM gets to you, it is a very quick fix (or so I have been told).

I have reported this at least 4 times so far with Bug Reports in Open Beta (after each test patch did not fix the issue). I also reported this in the Base Repricing Bugs thread in the other I13 Bugs forum (as did Obsidius).

To add details - the problem is along the western and southern walls. You cannot place items flush to the wall - they stand away from the wall about the thickness of an invisible floor trim (note I said invisible as the floor trim is not there). This happens at any height on those two walls.

Additionally, along the same two walls, you cannot place a wall item at any height except very low along the walls. As a workaround, I can place the item in question on either the northern or eastern wall at the desired height, then slide it around the corner. It still stands out from the wall, however.

This bug has prevented me from redoing my bases in the new larger plots other than restoring/adding functionality. I refuse to try to decorate with this going on.

I didn't expect a response to all my bug reports, but I did expect to see this listed in the Known Issues that pops up after each patch or here in the forums. Can we please have it added/noted somewhere officially?

Patcher Checksum Apparently Deletes Screenshots

Server: Triumph
Zone: N/A
Character name: Obsidius
Time: 12/09/2008 approx. 21:30PST
Location: N/A
Mission: N/A
Mission Contact: N/A
Bug Description: Patched to v18.20081105.9T4 last evening. Incurred the following error:

"failed to rename C:/Program Files/City of Heroes/patchfile/mapsMissions.pigg to C:/Program Files/City of Heroes/piggs/mapsMissions.pigg"

After this happens, the patch stops applying and the launcher closes. Re-opening the launcher repeats this same process. I've seen these errors since I13 closed beta (and reported them on the beta forums on at least 3 different occasions). I deleted the checksum as usual for work-around.

However, after checksumming, fixing the affected PIGG file, and verifying the image, the game ran, but all contents of the Screenshots folder were deleted.

Not Recieving XP Bonus when the Respec is complete-Heroes

Server: Guardian

Time: 3:AM 12/10/08
Location: Respec Trial - in the reactor room
Mission: Save The Reactor!
Mission Contact: The first repsec trial contact
Bug Description: Before i13 you'd get an XP bonus for completing the trial along with the recipe, respec or SO. Last night when we selected merits we didn't recieve an XP bonus. I scrolled up and down my logs to see if I got the bonus and got nothing but the merits. Check the chat log
If you'll look at the chat log you will see where I got the transmogrified badge then the merrits. Nothing else. Usually there will be a big-o-bonus. Was this taken away??

XP Was Taken Away After Disconnecting!

Server: Infinity
Zone: Nerva Archipelago
Character name: Trance. (@Trance)
Time: 1-2AM Wednesday EST
Location: In Mission Map during an 8-man Team
Mission: Can't Remember Wasn't My Mission
Mission Contact: Can't Remember Wasn't My Mission
Bug Description: I got DC'd in the middle of the mission while chatting between /Arena and /Team channels. I was TL 33 getting ready to level before DC'ing and I think it was at the very moment I was going to level my screen froze up and the CoV window thing that asks me what happened before I DC'd came up. I logged back on it DC'd me again when I was loading up the zone and the window came up again. I typed the conditions and then I restarted my computer. I log back on successfully and when I zoned in I had "NO BARS" and I was still TL 33 -- WHAT!? I didn't see the arrow up indicator that I level'd so I checked by the Arbiter to see if it was a glitch. No good. I started the mission with 3 other people the same level and by that time they're a level ahead of me and I'm back where I started when we joined up. Someone explain to me how this could happen and if anyone else know of this bug? It wasn't a mapserver it was a forced disconnection or something.

Known Issue:

The south and west walls of Supergroup bases do not allow players to change the height of objects while editing the base.

[/ QUOTE ]
This also impacts placing stairs against doorways with these walls.

I lost 2 full levels of XP and it wasn't even a disconnect. I simply logged off without incident before training. Logged back in about 20 minutes later to go train and *poof* all earned XP was gone and I had less XP than I started with. (see my post above for more details)

So far all I can get from CS is they have no idea what happened.

Dont' know if this came up, but when creating your character's look in the beginning, choose police officer costume, then change chest to stone skin. The chest changes but you can not change the arms.

My XP Was Taken Away After Disconnecting Too!

Server: Liberty
Zone: Brickstown
Character name: Condor Man (@Son of Jayhawk)
Time: 11:30 - 11:45 P.M. Wednesday Pacific
Location: In Bricks after exiting SG Base
Mission: Manticore TF
Mission Contact: Manticore
Bug Description: I started the TF with just a few xp points past dinging level 32 (a day or so previous). I logged in this character to do a Manticore with some of the LBx dudes (and dudettes). Grabbed some enhancements from WW and off I went. About three or four missions in, I dinged 33. By the time the mission was done, I had another 2 and a half bubbles of xp. The next mission was back to Brickstown, so I took my base teleporter to get there. Upon zoning into Bricks, I was rubber-banding severely. So I let my TF mates know I was going to quickly log out to reboot. A minute later I logged back in to find I was back to the same xp as before I started the TF - just a few points past level 32. So I lost an entire level and 2 and a half bubbles.

I petitioned it, but thought I should post it here as well.
