One newish bug that has been bothering me - outdoor music continues long after I have entered an indoor environment.
For example, I enter Pocket D, and the area music from Faultline is still playing, along with the Pocket D music.. and this continues for several minutes.
The resulting cacophony has provoked me to disable my speakers many times.
This is a new problem - it didn't use to happen.
Regarding the Soldier's invisible gun -
I have two Soldiers, both level 10 right now, and they would be a lot more fun to play if they didn't always shoot bullets out of their sleeves and run around clutching their stomachs like they feel sick. It makes them seem less than uber, to say the least.
This is not an occasional thing for my young soldiers. Their rifles NEVER appear.
Why is that bug taking so long to solve? It's really disappointing to strive to level 50, only to play a VEAT that seems broken, and looks silly.

Hai! I am Issue 14 on test server. I am about to hit the live server!
That could be your why it hasnt been "fixed" yet...
What I was doing for the "friend" window opening constantly was to un-dock the window and using the arrows on each side of the window, shrinking it down to the smallest size I could and sticking it up at the top next to my "Navigation" window.
Only then could I ignore it and keep going.

1. When I am Leader on team not able to select mission because it says I am not the leader. I do have the star at this time.
2. Not being able to change to a different mission no matter who we pass lead to in the team.
3. Random letters put in text chat window when hitting enter to start a chat. Movement letters seem popular tho.
Sent a petition, no response either directly or by email.
If life were fair, we would never be thirsty and have to pee at the same time.
I experience #3. Almost always w's and s's but occasionally an m.
Not sure if this one has been noticed. I made an AV with Mind Control as her main power set in the MA, standard difficulty. I tested her with my level 50 super reflexes scrapper on the lowest difficulty (so she was an elite boss). Her mind control attacks seem to have a 100 percent hit rate, even with elude running. Her secondary set, fiery melee, missed every time. But mind control never missed. I tested a couple of times and never saw her mental attacks whiff.
I am pretty sure I've fought other mind control bosses on MA where this didn't happen, but I can't be sure. In fact I have an LT in another custom group with mind control as his main set and he seems to miss at the normal rate.
The arc with the uber-mental AV is 83170. Her name is Myriad, spawns in the third mission. Fortunately she's an optional boss.
I lost my entire base recently....I was away had no idea there was a bug...upgraded my base and wamo 3 years of farming ,missioning,and everything in-between gone...will i ever get that stuff back,aparently not cause nobody is answering my petitions,wich is [censored]...i have 4 accounts with cov...i understand the bug is a problem but restoring my base shouldnt be...WHAT THE [censored]!
I don't see an issue listed, that I have reported to Castle, that is still not resolved: My Robotics/Traps mastermind, Drone Keeper, cannot use certain powers from the Traps power set without rendering his protector bots more stupid than usual. Specifically, when the shields placed on other robots by the protector bots expire, the protector bots will not re-shield anything if Drone Keeper has any of the following active: Caltrops, Triage Beacon, or Poison Trap. They also will not re-shield if the shields expire after he/his team has acquired the kidnap victim in a kidnapping mission and everyone has received the ridiculous debuff that was originally designed to punish stalkers. Would be nice if someone would at least acknowledge that this is actually a bug and not what was intended.
Chained Bulldog level 33 Stalker on Liberty
Cobalt Blue Knight level 32 Scrapper on Guardian
Drone Keeper level 32 MM on Champion
Glacier Force level 28 Tanker on Justice
and 7 nearly full servers of alts waiting their turns.
Chat binds now insert the key used.. ie..
/bind shift+z "beginchat /sg [$level,$name,H]: "
will come up as.
/sg [50,Rogziel,H]: Z *text here*
This started as of i14. Perviously the Z would not have been inserted. I've tried reseting the bind but that hasn't fixed it.
Dark Servant redside accept Accurate ToHit Debuff sets, but blueside, it does not.
Already poked Castle/BaBs about it, got confirmation that this is not intended, and support seems to completely blow me off whenever I sent bug reports.

Several mind control attacks are not considered positional in nature and will ignore positional defense, IE super reflexes.

People are being allowed to join an ITF while still on an AE TF mission. This causes everyone on the team to crash when entering the first mission.
Mystic Fortunes are not affecting sidekicked characters.

Art: Pocket D Super Group beacon is missing
[/ QUOTE ]
Since this is on here anyway, could we please get the Grandville beacon on the to-fix list? It shows the broken beacon like the Pocket D one.
Why is Dark Servant rushing mobs? he has no melee powers.
In the enhancement screen or respec'ing the pointer jumps off the enhancement I'm trying to grab to drag it to the slot. Have to click above and left of the enhancement I'm trying to grab.
Also, mouse hovering over both the power and the slotted enhancement will pop up the text for both.
Didn't see it mentioned even though I know it's known. In the Character ID Card screen, in the hero description box carraige returns seem to be getting removed after hitting "enter game" so that when accessing character information paragraph breaks disappear and you get only wall-o-text. If you enter the ID card screen for a character whose description has proper paragraph breaks you invoke the bug.
One more I thought I'd mention - inside Atlas City Hall I get popping and crackling on my audio and have for so long now that I couldn't even tell you when it started.

[/ QUOTE ] Yes, that's a known issue of using certain ATI card/driver versions on widescreen resolution.

[/ QUOTE ] I don't hear that. Do you hear it in other areas too? Maybe you could open a thread containing more information about it and let people diagnose it for you.

[/ QUOTE ]Well it's not so obnoxious that I care to spend a lick of time trying to fix it. I've done that sort of thing before and the effort required on my part to diagnose the problem VASTLY exceeds the ultimate benefits. I don't really recall hearing it anywhere else, but that could just be that visiting City Hall so frequently makes it memorable.
I'd like to have this added to the known issue list please...
Issue 15: zero content, just an advertising gimmick.
(but i'm sure they'll make the 3-4 issues per year goal this year!)

one of many recent bugs that makes me wonder just what the hell they were trying to DO or fix when they cause all this crap to start happening? what was wrong with binds that they needed to be changed that this change was made to them?

You forgot the end result:
Step 8.) Develop a massive drinking habit and rejoin the Army because it makes more sense.
Step 9.) Punch out anyone who says "Hey, didn't you used to work with computers?"
Step 10.) Deliberately forget every single thing to do with programming and pretend that you never took all those college courses. Claim your major was in basket weaving.
Step 11.) Play someone else's game and gripe at them.

Working on: YotZ Legends: Even Heroes Die (First Round Edit)
when killing Rikti Drones the explode over and over again.... for a total of about 5 times....
This happend to me on the cape mish which i did at lvl 42.

Pathing: Protector Bots get stuck on their own Seeker Drones
This is *SO* incredibly frustrating.
In caves or sewers, one or both protector bots gets stuck behind approximately every other battle, in my experience.
- I either have to play the "Goto" game hoping to get them unstuck (effective around half the time, if I'm determined enough),
- Or, dismiss/resummon, which slows game play down to a crawl,
- Or just write the bot off as lost and hope it returns once I get far enough away, and plunge on with reduced number of minions,
- Or, skip a more preferred/useful power so I can pick up Recall Friend instead.
Currently, I'm making sure to the protector bots don't get touched by the second upgrade power by summoning them last. No seeker drones, no stuck bots. No photon grenades either, which is unfortunate.
*PLEASE* do one (or more, preferably) of the following things:
- Cause seeker drones to appear and hover higher so that they don't block the path of the mombots.
- Cause Seeker Drones to be INTANGIBLE for a few seconds once summoned.
- Have the mombots resort to JUMPING more quickly if they can not move laterally.
- Have the (X) Dismiss option that appears when you right-click on the seeker drones actually work.
