#1 I never had the autostore problem with my mount... anywhere...

#2 I also agree with JustinHarrell that autostore was just another band-aid to fix a huge bug that exisited with vehicles, and still exists with vehicles to this day.

How

#1 the buggy state of the game is horrible... I played Ascherons Call from the beginning and never encounter 1/4 of the bugs this game has 8 months in.

#2 Specifically I also agree with JustinHarrell. Autostore is not necessary. I believe it was a band-aid patch to work around the even larger bug, that still exists to this day... no consistent store/generation of vehicles. In fact the radial menu for vehicles rarely workes correctly at all. Sometimes having to exit or enter a vehicle more than once.

#3 This problem did not exist with mounts. I never ever remember being anywhere and losing my mount.

If this is an unfixable bug, then I suggest you immediatley patch for calling anywhere or far extend the period of time that autostore takes. Right now it seems like it autostores after 3 mins. Sometimes a multi-generational npc mission (creature lair) can take 10 minutes or more.

Other BUGS with vehicles.

The aformentioned radial menu problems... the actual act of generating and storing vehicles does not work, along with repairing.

The inability to use vehicles in a city.

Has anyone had their vehicle do one of the following upon exiting a vehicle in a city?:

1) Disappear, only to be found some distance off in the city, most likely parked in an archway.

2) Turn and drive away, to park itself in a nearby, most likely last archway that you passed through.

SOE... VEHICLES are INCREDIBLY BUGGED there are no two ways about it, nor can you pass off band-aids as fixes.

MORE NEW CONTENT IS NOT GOING TO SAVE THIS GAME. FIXING ALL THE PROBLEMS THAT MAKE THE GAME SO UNENJOYABLE WILL!!

Paint decay is a blatantly stupid idea. Either make it permanent or remove it from the game.

Justin makes a seriously good point. Auto-store just creates irratation among players. The only reason I keep novice scout is to create camp kits to recall my vehicle when it poofs out of existance in the middle of nowhere. The best I've experienced so far is my swoop storing WHILE I was driving it. That was fun, I got a good laugh out of it for sure. With all the great things you guys talk about that will coming out there doesn't seem to be any serious consideration towards correcting errors already existing within the game itself (That is, unlessthe current auto-store bug was intentional). Whatever the case there are pervasive and perpetual problems that are getting worse that are likely not going to be corrected in the near future. Hopefully that will change with the amount of negative feedback you guys are recieving regrading this topic.

Another bug that seems to be everywhere is the speeder ejection seat. For a testI counted how many times I would be thrown from my speeder once I dismounted when fully stopped. Out of 10 dismounts I had 7 ejections ranging from 10m to 80m from my speeder. Maybe this is an isolated bug I don't know, but its sure a pain in the ass to have happen 70% of the time I get off my bike.

Paint kits are useless now, as many people seem to agree on. They'rea fantastic idea and a great start for future customization of vehicles; well done on that front. But in terms of time that colors lasts, it makes the whole idea of color kits useless for players. It fine if you have the colors fade over time, but maybe if it was changed so that color lasted a set number of days, say, 10 or 12 days. Or, have it do only artisans can change colors (might be a bit tedious always having to find a Artisan to change colors, but nevertheless an idea). I think both were mentioned in previous posts.

All in all the game is still great to play, best game I've ever played. But these buggy issues that have been with the game for a while and haven't been corrected are getting realy annoying. I wouldn't care if the next publish only corrected reoccuring bugs and thats it. At least it would clear up a lot of side issues and problems that continue to creep up and affect the game play and fun factor.
