    What about buffs stripping on engage? If it's intended for buffs not in raid fine (you should be saying this however) but I shouldn't be loosing my own buffs when engaging a mob. Debuffs showing as stacking cause insane lag? Mob buffs not showing up/leaving as suppose to? Thesteran human racial crashing chunks, etc. Were all these things fixed also?

    However I will say i'm quite happy to see that all EE's now show up in the buff bar. However it brings up more issues, like why the shaman epic has 5% spell crit chance. also how messed up the new shaman buffs are.

    what's going on with the server? I just got kicked from game. Is it down again? Am I going to be rolled back again? Very annoying tbh

    Basically... *sigh* Thorgda Stonefist, the lady giant will have to wait longer to party up with her brother, Thorgda Stonefist... if that'll even be her name, lol.

    Chunks are still randomly crashing......

    And the character selection screen once again rearranged itself. Now all my oldest and highest level characters are listed at the bottom. If I remember correctly, if I were to go ftp, then only my first 4 toons listed would show up as playable.....seriously? I'm not keen on getting the selection screen rearranged every update or hotfix.

    I see y'all have given us a great feature in Shores of Darkness: pulsing lag.

    Nothing says challenge like hitching every 2 seconds.

    Pota Crashes : Got a Xerlin down, he spawned two adds, killed him.. Worked one of the add's Chunk locked, social still worked. Reset to Char select. Login, no pets, no class buffs shaman tuurgin ( Mass Turrgin ?? Spelling needs fixing ). Chunk un playable

    SoD Chunk, seem to run fine for abit, then gets into a crashing loop. Plowed Furius up in The Dead Lands, released to alter, none of the char's had a tombstone to summon, Chunk crashed, Login and tombstones were on the list, and able to be summoned. Chunk crashed, no pets / no class buffs.

    Macro's the " still not fixed, unable to fix macro's due to new changes in spell names.

    Pets Abilities : Don't auto fire, with the check on them. Nor due they save which are and aren't checked to fire. Pet names don't stick, ( un able to change macro's due to macro issue ) pet class not playable

    Random lag spikes, on server side per char.. I six box a team.. 3 sometimes 4 will have a 2 sec lag while the rest are fine, then another 3 or 4 randomly will lag, thought it was my computer for about a hour, watched the cpu monitor / lap meters nothing. Switched computers, and same thing. Switched to cable from dsl, and same issue.

    Character select screen, char's random change spots, no in any order, sometimes last login is on top sometimes its half way down, sometimes its last created, some times it oldest created.

    rifts : char loses buffs and or pet sometimes both, sometimes dismounts sometimes doesn't

    crossing chunk : dismount bug is back, now happens any where in the game. randomly.. Three chars all heading for the chunk line like per patch ( not hotfix ) one will be dismounted and the other keep going.

    Mobs on paths : few times the dk would smack a mob with a spell or bow, mob would start chasing then stop. mob was still able to be damaged and spells were still landing.. mob then start to move again, as if it had a hitch issue.

    Orc's can now add more strength ?... Took the monk / orc to the re assigner, paid 5g was able to add 50 str to his max.

    noticing damage on weapons ? ... nothing has been said about this yet nor was it in the patches or forums

    Been playing since the start, have had accounts on auto re sub since the beginning, putting lots of money hoping this game was get better, tho dunno how much more I can pay to play a beta testing game. To me we are still in beta, with a beta patch system. We are past the point were getting away with putting a patch into game with so many issue should be allow'd or should happen. I know the past dev's and the code has been a mess. I understand you are making progress we can see it and feel it in our day to day game play.

    Suggestion :

    Take all the char's in game, put them all in khal chunk, turn off the faction, put a gm in game for some mob spawning, have a party in there. While you all get the rest of the world back on track, right now all your doing is making more and more people leave the game, ex specially the people the come on and down read forums.

    Today I logged in saw more the 10 people LFG for a group in a chucnk that was crashing, or people asking for help with macro's.. People asking to get quests done that were timed and that chunk was crashing.

    I for one, have downloaded, and installed a different mmo, got a free 14 day trial if I find it enjoyable and I want to login, prolly not coming back this time. 14 days from now I will login, see how the game is doing, read the forums, and might just cash out the exchange and park the toons.

    All characters are playable, F2P just limits how many you can make without going Subbed or buying more slots.

    Enough with the buff stripping, i don't mind the change in the buffs, but the stripping of buffs on engage of a raid mob is uncalled for. That is not a tweak to the buff system, that is a complete scrap and redesign. I like the idea of BBO, but the implementation leaves me scared of seeing the COW release.

    " All characters are playable, F2P just limits how many you can make without going Subbed or buying more slots. "

    I don't know how long you've been in VG, but I've been here since beta so hence my knowledge of how the characters are saved. In FTP you are limited to 4 characters period, and I have 11 which is why I'm concerned about the new line up. My high levels were always first until this latest fiasco.

    PATCH on Friday the 13th
    Will there be anything to fix the buff stripping or chunk crashing mid fight?
    I tested across the board and mobs all over the game strip buffs, not just raid. BoD/ CoB/Raid Mobs/ APW/Troll Coast/Magi Hold all of them.

    The crash mid fight seems to be same as it is on test its directly related to debuffs. At this point I can not even see if Inner Light is causing a problem or other abilities. So one fix at a time. Keep servers on line and stop the buff stripping then we can go from there.

    I have 3 accounts, 1 paid and 2 F2P. I have at least 7 characters on all of them. I have not bought a single character slot upgrade. I can play all of them.

    Necro pet grafts aren't saving. Don't know what's failing in the code but it's not working.

    I logged in and the 6th graft spot (brain) wasn't saved properly. Reattached. Camped. Logged back in and now none of my grafts have been saved.

    Hopefully this can get looked into after the buff stripping is removed.
