Before I launch into it all....I do not play on TC, I've never even visited this forum before. Does it help at all if I post a possible exploit here (how its done)? or is a bug report enough ingame so everyone and their mother does not find out about it and start using it in live?

A bug report in-game on live servers is best, thanks.

Many thanks for everyone's input and participation.

when i do bug reports it feels like they go into a blackhole. perhaps a good idea would be a friday feature to emphasize how you guys use our bugreports. it would heighten awareness to how important it is by doing a feature on how a bug goes from player report to being fixed. along with some metrics on a bug that has been fixed to how long it went throught the channels etc.

While that sounds like a good idea, I doubt you really want the results. It will only satisfy your curiosity but not solve problems. I'm sure the timeline will differ depending on the severity and type of bug. Besides, if an example was given, I think it would violate the company's policy for keeping confidential information somewhere along the path you requested, or leave a few holes in it at least, causing yet more questions.

I know it would be nice to have some sort of recognition that your /bug report actually had an impact but with the sheer numbers on an enterprise such as this, it is not feasible or cost effective. If pushed by the customer base hard enough, I think this could be reached, but the cost would be passed onto the customer eventually. No thank you.

One more thing I noticed... (tired of me posting yet?)

Random items in my inventory have had their graphic changed to be some small piece of something undistinguishable. Usually it is items on the bottom row of inventory that do this. Their regular graphic comes back later when I re-open inventory. Cannot find a pattern for it yet. Also, if it helps, I turned off the option of the animated, rotating icons.

In new unity we were checking the 2 minute buff rule and completely failed to get a buff at all.

I was trying to get a buff while in the main entertainer group, and people were running out of action,
however we noticed on the system messages that whenever one member of the group stopped playing,
you get a system message saying that the person who ran out of action stopped playing and also the person you are listening to stopped playing.

We checked in the group if it was just my client, appeared to be on other players machines, then I
dropped out the group, when another person ran out of action it said the person I was listening to name
but not the person who ran out of action.

Er, a very minor thing, but there's a typo on the vehicle rental vice's description in the examine window.

the scentence in questionreads: "Remember that when you first use this device, you vehicle is called for the first time which will then leave you with four more opportunities to call your rental vehicle"

I experienced this strange thing as well:

I was listening to a musician in my group. Another musician in the group ran out of action and stopped playing. I first got a system message stating that this player stopped playing, and then I got a system message that the musician I was listening to stopped playing, even though I could see with my own eyes that he was still playing. I have not yet tested how this affects the musician buff.

I'm beginning to notice that mobs doing the warping on the "flee from death" animation is starting to happen on live too. They get to that point where they turn and run, warp 100m+ away and also about 10m upwards... very wierd, can't hit them there, takes a minute before they warp back down to ground level.

I'd also like to note that the ingame holocron text also tells you that you need to be a master medic in order to be an image designer... this hasnt been the case for a very long time.

Medic newb missions still not working for me. I'm still unable to get past the 'you should take artisan' part.

I can't get the travel voucher to work. This may be operator error, but Ibelieve I'm doing what the voucher says to do. Examining the voucher indicates that if you go to purchase a ticket at a starport or shuttleport you will be given an option to use the ticket. I purchased tickets at Skystone (player city), Anchorhead, and Bestine shuttleports and never received an option to use the travel voucher. Each time funds were taken from my bank account like usual.
