Hello!

The Volunteer Community Representatives (VCRs) would like to extend a warm welcome to our new players from Taiwan! If you have suggestions or need help with something, you can contact one of them for assistance. On the forums, they have a pink tag under their user image that says “RO2 Community Representative”.

Due to last week’s unusual maintenance schedule, we ended up skipping a week. This week’s report will cover both weeks.

Hot Topics & Known Issues

- Spring Event: The Spring event was patched to the test server later than we’d have liked for testing, so it’s been delayed a bit. Don’t worry, there will be an event!

- Broken Loot System: We’ve been made aware of this and have started running some tests and investigating it. As soon as we have all the necessary information and evidence, it will be reported.

- Hot Topic: Boss drops being based on channel - if you have evidence of this, please PM me (Njoror) with the information or send in a ticket at http://support.warpportal.com so we can get it looked at. Please note that we have yet to find any conclusive evidence of this yet, and you should continue to fight bosses as normal.

Bug Report Summary

Reported issues are given one of the following categories:

- Critical - these are bugs that have game-breaking implications, interfere with gameplay or combat (especially PvP), or are exploitable.

- Moderate - these bugs present an annoyance to users, may confuse or frustrate players that don't understand them, but don't have a major impact on gameplay.

- Minor - these bugs are mostly visual issues or quirks; they don't actually have any substantial impact on gameplay but should probably be fixed anyway.

- Tweak - this is a suggested change to an existing part of the game that isn’t working right. Tweaks are lower priority than Minor, but are still evaluated by the development team.

For certain issues, we may ask members of the community (you!) to help us gather some information. These will be listed under “Needing More Information” with a description of what is being requested. Work will continue on the issue as normal, but will go faster and/or be more beneficial to everybody with your input.

Needing More Information

- Players from Taiwan experiencing loss of runes and/or seeds in their gear. If you or someone you know is experiencing this, get a screenshot that includes the character name and the affected gear. This screenshot can be posted right in this thread (don’t know how to post images? Use this guide: http://forums.warpportal.com/index.php?/topic/174507-how-to-upload-pictures-in-the-forums-guide/). If possible, please include the screenshot in [ spoiler]spoiler tags (without spaces)[ /spoiler] to avoid unnecessary loading.
