6/19/08 - Please keep the thread clear of any flaming, trolling and un-constructive posts. These issues are your concerns and not everything here will be addressed at once but we will do our best to make sure it gets to the right people.

6/20/08 - Thread has been conveyed to QA for further investigation. So hopefully the feedback process on these will come in a piece at a time. I will try to keep it updated on Funcom feedback.

7/1/08 - QA has finished the investigation and has confirmed most of these items in the internal bug tracking system for future fixes. We will continue to convey that feedback in the future.

General/Gameplay:
* Poor Performance/FPS even on high-end systems. FPS decreasing with recent patches.
* Memory leaks/poor performance after zoning multiple times. Disappearing/solid color map/mini-map.
* Settings resetting on login/out. Poor FPS when entering game unless you change settings.
* Female attack speed issue (slower than males)
* Falling through the world or 'entering mountains or buildings' still an issue in some places.
* Petition system stating there are 0 petitions in front of you.
* Need/Greed '0' rolls. Big issue with a need roll of 0 being beat by a greed roll.
* Mobs appearing right in front of you (comes and goes).
* Blue icons for group members stay on map after you've de-grouped.
* Apprentice issue after leveling under apprenticeship.
* Strange anomalies with the amount of XP to level going into the millions sometimes (no more info available)
* Mobs (mainly casters) sometimes slide upon the ground and do not walk.
* Players picking up loot and moving away quickly sometimes slide upon the ground without walking.
* Running your horse into the water starts a massive stamina drain and a 'super speed swim'.
* Mobs sometimes evading/reseting when standing toe-to-toe with them.
* Some items aren't being shown on the Auction House (gems to name one) (more info here)
* Items listed on AH can sometimes not be sold to vendors (don't display in sell window).
* Trader issues (more info here)
* When crashing while grouped, sometimes your group window will be gone when you relog and you can't be invited or join a new group.
* Fear animation is broken, characters slide around covering their faces, do not walk.
* Group members zone (when hovering over them in the group window) doesn't seem to update unless you zone.
* When taking a profession/resource quest, if you journal is full you can't receive the quest. If you make room, the NPC still doesn't offer you the quest again.
* Players can swim up/down waterfalls.
* Summon to instance for group still doesn't appear to be working.
* Certain emotes (minion_falling_down) make you fall thru the world in some spots.
* When performing a fatality, sometimes a adjacent mob will be fatalitied as well but not be dead, attacking you from the ground.
* Possible icon limitation kicking into affect when viewing a full bank and full resource tab, not all icons will show. You have to hover to figure out what an item is.
* Graphic errors involving weapon floating away from character (switching weapons sometimes fixes), disappearing appendages based on gear, missing helmets after death, changing hair color, hair coming thru helmet, etc...
* You can double-tap a direction to get a dodge buff, then immediately tap your "active blocking" key to skip the entire dodge animation and keep the buff.
* Some buffs are mysteriously receiving 1 hour long cooldown timers.
* Root animation broken on some mobs.
* Removing armor updates your character for others immediately, attempting to re-equip the armour does not. You will show with the armour on however they will see you naked. You must zone to fix the issue.
* Body morphs in character creation have little effect (more info here)
* 'Twitching Titties' on female NPCs in cut-scenes.
* /follow is not working if you zone while in a group, must drop group and re-group to re-fix follow.
* Certain items missing names, or having constant procs (causing mass aggro even after logout), not showing up correctly on your character.

Quests
* Destiny quests are still broken for some users.
* 'The Missing Child' quest is nearly impossible to do. Child is rarely spawned. Can sometimes be completed when in 'Epic' mode of an instance.
* 'In Defense of Beauty' quest broken in noble district. NPCs don't fight after you talk to them unless in 'Epic' mode of instance.
* Villa quests requiring climb doesn't display the 'use' symbol and you must run up and down the wall spamming 'U' (this also happens in several other places in the world)
* Many of the Pyramid quests in Kopseph Province are broken. 'Enter the Pyramid', 'Lord Atum-Keket', possibly 'All That Remains'
* Group arena quests bugged if you fail by yourself, then go with a group to complete.
* Quests in the Frost Swamp/Oasis cooldowns seem to be broken.
* Proving your Worth broken, Tadeus is evading
* Arena quest - starter quest is broken (more info here)
* Scorpion Archer Armor quest reward is much less than quests of equivalence at that level.
* Raven quest chain continuation in Conans castle broken.

Classes/Archtypes
* Too many too list currently. Mainly broken feats, improper or very poor scaling of abilities thru levels.

Crafting
* Tier 1 Alchemy not completed due to missing ingredients (Yeti Bile, Scorpion Oil and Scorpion Venom)
* Weapon/Armor tooltip does not update when gemming the item. It often appears like you are overwriting your previous gem. Relogging fixes the issue.
* Zoning with a gemmed item equipped reset the GUI character attributed. Unequiping the item at this point subtracts stats. Zoning, then equiping the items assures stats are displayed correctly.
* Gem Tier quests do not work or only work if you create a gem then zone, then create another and zone, etc...
* 'Whorled' leather quest broken. Can't turn it in to Skinner (it says to turn it into prospector, but he doesn't take it either)
* Basalt quest broken. Can't turn it into NPC.
* When taking a profession/resource quest, if you journal is full you can't receive the quest. If you make room, the NPC still doesn't offer you the quest again. If this is the gemcutter quest, your money is still deducted and you have no quest and no way to get the money back.
* Missing cloth trainer in Swamp
* Can not drop crafting professions
* Second profession is sometimes bugged and can not be used. It's not clear if you're allowed to have a second profession or if you're limited to one.
* Unable to receive the Gathering quest for "Oak." All 3 quest givers state you must be level 70 even if you are level 70 or above.
* Linking of crafted items in chat doesn't show the gems in the item.
* All variations of xxxxx Strike on taking damage gems do seem to be proc'ing properly.
* All variations of the crafted rare Cloak with 3 gem slots are not able to have gems of any kind inserted into them.

Player Concerns:
* Unable to stealth or rest if any member in your group is engaged in combat, regardless of distance.
* All caster mobs appear to be imbalanced. Do ridiculous damage but have the same hit points as soldier type mobs.
* Grey caster mobs hit just as hard as if they were your level, grey melee mobs can't even hurt you. (intended?)
* Alchemy Tier 1 progression potions all in one quest unlike weaponsmith that breaks them apart.
* AOE grinding for certain classes achieving mass XP via chain kills.
* Grey elite mobs unsoloable by classes much higher than then (especially caster types)
* Gold seller tell spam.
* Lag/delay when showing player guild on screen.
* Fatalities only display correct for humanoids.
* '/tell channel is still not recording all /tell conversations'
* Hiding sometimes seems inconsistent, also 'you are being observed' inconsistencies.
* Crafted items can not be sold to vendors.
* Travel times.
* Evade/dodge/parry rates of mobs and player characters.
* Level 55 and up content (quests, dungeons, etc)
* Falling damage seems too strict.
* Invisible walls (autorun abruptly stops for no reason)
* Sprint discrepancies between melee and caster types.
* No PVE-RP US Server.
* LOW/MEDIUM Video presets have worse performance on some PCs than HIGH.
* Buddy Keys?
* DirectX 10
* When a caster scores a critical hit on a boss mob it gains a buff that gives it 95% spell resist for several seconds afterward.
* Cistern/Main System Instance (Should it be private?)
* Can not add items to mail from inventory, must bank items first.
* Ambient sound slider in audio removed.
* Can not link to crafted items in chat (before creating them).
* Gathering of leather and silk from NPC's below your level range (con grey) seem to not be droppping these at a normal drop rate.
* Drop rate of rare resources.
* Respawn rates of mobs in instances too fast.
* Death Penalty. It's not really a penalty but a method of travel.

Player Wants:
* Improved stat descriptions and their usage in both PvP and PvE.
* Improved tooltips for feats and guild buildings.
* Improved itemization.
* Improved guild support (customizable ranks, tax, etc)
* Improved GUI (chat, customizable hotbars, scaling, etc)
* Improved key binding support (mouse buttons)
* Improved auction features, ways to expand the personal and guild banks.
* Audio notification of 'tell'.
* Ability to display a larger version of inventory bag, no pages.
* Lock items in inventory from being able to be sold.
* More character slots (12)

Remember to stay on topic and be constructive.

I will be monitoring this thread closely (moderating it as well).

this needs to be fixed First IMO.

if you can't play the game why launch it.

These issues also need to be addressed please.

i do understand that you know about it.

We want to know a E.T.A. if one at the least.

Bug - Blue icons representing fellow group members stay on the map/minimap even after leaving a group.

[Mystara]

Also if you could look into one of those Villa quests (can't recall the specific one, but it's where you have to go into 3 houses and kill 3 guys) one of them is bugged or something, I believe you are supposed to climb up to kill one of the 3, and it won't let me climb and I have the 200 skill required. *Noble District Quest*

Also, if you guys could look into the Pyramid quests.. lots of broken still in there.

Thanks!

Guild names lag sometimes (3-5 second delay sometimes)

When picking up loot and moving away quickly, the char slides along the ground and continues to make the bend over and scoop up motion

/tell channel is still not recording all /tell conversations

Many mobs still do the evade and reset mode even though you are toe to toe with them. (noticed alot in the noble district)

Sometimes hide does not work, and its not a get into the shadows issue.. clicking with the mouse and using H doesnt fix. I have to exit game and then cancel the exit to make it work proper.

Just a few.. Thx

[sweetnumb]

What about the quest in Aquilonia? I don't know if this is a problem for everyone, but the there is one quest I was on (can't remember the name, and I'm at work right now) where the person (Velona I believer her name was) isn't where the marker shows (and is nowhere that I can find). She's supposed to be in the trading post, but she definitely never was, and I switched instances twice and restarted the game.

Also, another quest in The Wilds of Zelata (think I got that right) involving invoking a tree spirit, or something that's supposed to come out of the tree. Anyway you click on the stone, and the item gets on the stone, but nothing ever comes, and if you go inside the nearby tree there is nothing there. Eventually the sacrifice (or whatever it is) disappears, and then you can right click on the stone again, and the same thing just happens over and over.

[Kharn526]

Fatalities - Only show properly on humanoids,anything else doesnt display correctly.Like i cant behead a animal or brutish big mobs like Hulks.

Stuck on Generating Content when zoning through several zones ( random ).

I will add more when i can think of some ,i know there are tons more im not thinking of atm.

[kifle01]

I think the quest you're refering to is 'The Wounded Child' in the wilds. Also, I'm not sure if it's been patched yet, but the quests in the pyramid in kosephf province are pretty broken (especially the last one when you kill the boss he just has a seizure and doesn't update your quest/drop loot.
