Some nasty bugs happening today with the holiday event publish:

  • Seeing many reports of power trays being cleared out on characters being awarded the two login powers. This did not happen on any of my old characters, as they all have used their free powers in years previous. But it has me reticent to log in any of my younger characters for fear of this PITA bug. One player found himself entirely unable to even drag any of his powers back to his power trays upon experiencing this bug and had to quit our league and wait for a GM.
  • Candy Canes awarded from completion of LW Holiday Trial going missing upon exiting trial. Several people in the trials I was running had this happen today.
  • Crash to desktop upon earning awards and completing LW Holiday Trial for first time on a character. Already had this happen to me once. Saw it happen to several others today as well.

Hope an emergency quick patch is coming ASAP on these. They are show stopping if not game breaking at the moment.

Well after that CTD, I'm now finding myself crashing with every single character I try to load. Does not seem to matter what alignment, level or zone they were logged out in. Bummer way to start the holiday event.

Edit: After trying everything else--checking drivers, doing a repair on the client, etc.--a full system refresh seems to have done the trick. Odd. But this lockout followed right on the heels of that crash to desktop.

One more bug to add to the pile. Finally decided to buy the gunslinger pack after NS's damage control a few weeks back and on good faith that change will come.

Anyways, went to reproduce this outfit:



And ran into two strange bugs.

First, I could see Fedora piece in the costume creator. Then when I approved the costume changes, this character came out bald as a pool ball. (The Tri Corner Hat model is live atm.) Went back into the CC to correct this and saw that the Fedora was still selected. Selected a different hat then returned to the Fedora only to find it bald.

Then when I went to reproduce those shoes I found they now look like the female version of the sneakers instead with colorable socks and monochrome sneakers.

How did all this stuff get broken today?

Logged out in frustration. Done for now till we get some bug fixes.

Yup i can attest to the disconnect bug.

After joining a league we took Lord Winter down in 10 minutes, got all the reward goodies, got the 'exit trial' button, and immediately got 'Disconnected From Map server' and kicked to the log in screen. Logged back in and didn't have anything from the trial rewards. Already petitioned, as a number of others in the trial got the same thing.
