ty
first etc
Sprite Star animation looks awkward going from walking to standing
"You are already in the Nexus" does not show up when pub chat is hidden
Sprite Star still has no name when selecting from the Pet Yard.
Managed to get bottom right thing stuck on "Buy Blue Drake Egg", potentially by position pet between it and the Cloth Bazaar portal
"It is not safe enough to pause" message also hidden by "hide chat" option.
Death messages are hidden by "hide chat" option.
Oh jeez, what am I doing now?

Quality fix man
Thank you.
Edit: it would be nice if the new build was released without having to go back with hotfixs and stuff, but thanks
UT's
Why are UT's still soulbound? I have a cwand on my knight alt but cant get it to my priest on my main account.
Edit: My best guess is so they can add UT's to the shop and make more money.
So...
Is it just me or did the price of Common eggs go up, even though there is apparently a "sale" going on right now? IIRC, they were 500, and a sticky claims they are 50% off, but they are 400 gold right now?
Thanks, vrt, for the awesome sig.

are matter of past. Damn, i also have to keep farming mad labs for the scepter :/
IGN: Zadkiel
Im just sick and surprised of how many whiners and jealous are in the community.
As Trustee said: "Everyone who is jealous: quit your bitchin'."
Why make uncommon's soulbound...I don't want this stupid UC.Penguin egg, I'd rather give it to a guildy or sell it...
It's time to get funky.
Song Updated 05/01 5:03pm ESTI thought common eggs
Were 800, wizgazelle.
I may be wrong

Oops double post
Duping
I think duping is the issue.
My opinions do NOT reflect Wildshadow or Kabam in any way. Don't be offended.
Your reaction when Kabam releases a new build that actually works...
since no one called it
since no one called it 2nd!!
honestly, dont see how all this duping is going to get fixed.
theres so many people out there that are one step ahead.
my opinion is, find these people, interview them, hire them.
now you can have better protection cause they know what there doing.
making all items soulbound was a pain, but it needed to be done.
but i see it trending back to all soulbound again.
first with the high end stuff, now ut and uncommon eggs and up.
but hey, its all good, i will still be here when it all gets properly fixed
good luck!!
If this works...
If this works then most ut's and other duped soulbound items will be either stashed or vaporized in a few weeks to months.

Hide Chat
Far and away the best feature added. Amazing stuff.
edit: never mind, i thought it would hide all chat. Ah well, one can dream.
.
Not all UT's are SB.
(incs)
I swear...
They were 500. Oh well.
Thanks, vrt, for the awesome sig.
Founder of Night Owls. Woot Hoot! Check us out!
all these people have to do
all these people have to do is keeping duping, doesnt matter if there soulbound or not.
then, like you said. stash them until they become non soulbound, then reap the benefits!!
there needs to be some sort of way, to block all the duping methods.
dont know how they will acomplish this without some sort of insight from a dupper, who knows his way around rotmg programming involving the server and client.
i know there are private servers out there. i have seen them and even tested one, and i am shocked from the way it is soo similar to the original.
i think its a matter of securities with the server and client, and/or, god i hate to say it, someone working with or closely with the creators of rotmg that is getting there hands on the software and either selling or giving it away.
seen this many times. god i hope this is not the issue. and they can find a perm fix for this
.
Still can't renounce Guild Membership...

An idea...
How bout instead of fixing tiny things like "Trade successful!" after a trade, fix the major problems that people actually care about. I mean, yeah fixing little bugs is great, but how bout assuring us that the 'invisible bullets' are fixed, or that the GLands drops that you guys secretly lowered (unless its a glitch) are back to normal... (still not Wildshadow normal, oh well)
I could care whether it tells me that my trade was successful... I can find that out by looking at my inventory. What I really want is to not get Kabam'd by invisible bullets, and i'd like more than 1 spd pot an hour. Thanks.
At least ADDRESS the issues on Twitter or something and at least tell us youre trying to fix them instead of hosting lag-fest events.

@Performance enhancements
The enhancement since the update has been 1 blue bag to this point
No more eggs and stat pots in g-lands so far for me.
F... Logic.
Hmmm infinite loading screen, spam bots everywhere, wc tops in nexus, lags everywhere, low pots drop rate, invisible shots, bugged items so we should got update where starting gold is 50! YEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYY - Kabams logic. Im Sick and Tired from this s... This game was awesome now its all about money. -_-
In a society that has destroyed all adventure, the only adventure left is to destroy that society...
I agree with a8orangejuice
It is all well and good you fixing the minor problems but you should actually solve the real problems like the god lands pot drops, you either don't want people doing good or you haven't realized it yet but I think you should make it so you can actually get pots because over the past 3 days I have killed 597 gods and not once did I get a pot from the gods I only got pet eggs, so fix the real problems that are annoying EVERYBODY.
thank you,

cool beans
Any chance you could put a filter on hide player chat to just show guild or pms, that would be mathematical.
Oh yeah is deleting pets coming soon bros?
-
Damn kabam, so greedy you can't spare 1 dollar and had to turn it into 50cents? holy crap. lol.. I mean, you could only by like one good dye, can't even afford to do both sometimes with 100 gold... OR you could buy 2 cheap ugly dyes, but now 50? you're stuck with only one cheap ugly dye. Bummer. That's pretty sad. I already feel a detachment to the game since pets came into play. This game is going downhill.
WIth more swag than you.

Uncommon Eggs..Etc..
I'm sure I wasn't the only one trading these to people who were actually going to hatch them and then use the pet feeding and fusing system. Making the Uncommon Eggs soulbound is very limiting and may prove to be a bad decision.
I like the soulbound on UTs because it stifles the RWT and dupers. It is also a good way to make those UTs more special to players(maybe they won't go die with them on a 39 base fame character..). Probably will anyway..
I'm not liking the soulbound on UTs because there are items I doubt I can ever get through normal playing of the game. I've managed a total of 10 white bags over 8 months of playing, all of them in the past couple of months. It may take a while to farm def pots to convert to life pots but that route is still more reliable and faster than hoping for a white bag. If soulbound UTs is going to be permanent, I look forward to the increased UT drop rates that would need to accompany that. This is a permadeath game, stuff happens and players need to rebuild characters.
Is there going to be any way to make it so tells and/or guild chat can be set to bypass the "turn of player chat" feature? That would allow potentially important messages to get through.
THANK YOU for getting rid of the "None" names on guildboards! That was very annoying!
Oh, and to everyone who can't stand those RWT bots: Why not get a guild leader to post something on your guild board about it and also discourage RWT among your ranks. Buying from RWT sites = keeping them in business = they keep spamming the Nexus.
Thanks for reading.
"There is now an option to turn off player chat"
"There is now an option to turn off player chat (turns off whispers)"
Hey, I'm glad you guys are doing something about the player chat, but I've never heard of whispers being a problem. It's the opposite, really. The only thing that should be able to be muted IS normal chat (white text). Guild chat, whispers, yellow announcements are sometimes the only thing that many people would like to listen to.
Have you guys even seen the spam in the nexus?
Quit while you still can
KABAM
You are pretty retarded making uncommon eggs soulbound.They are worth 1-2 life most of them. GG Kabam. Its all about the money.
@Gambrinus
Way to completely disregard the 15+ bug fixes.
#DecoyBestAbility2013
sb cause rwt was selling them
"...all Pet Eggs Uncommon and above are soul bound"
Un SB the items!
Common, my inv is filling up with all my sb loot, how long does it take? Unsb all the items already i dont even care about duping anymore i just want space...

Lol poopy build once again
Kabam, you never to fail to amaze me at you're current handling of this game. You did fix some bugs, but new bugs are added(nexus button taking a while, twice I almost died in godlands) and the potion drop rates are still very low. Useless common eggs are dropping everywhere.
WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU ALL DOING???
Old Acc: http://bit.ly/NjH4YY
iM QUITE SURE THE UnCommon
iM QUITE SURE THE UnCommon egg sb'ing has more to do with keeping them out of the pockets of RWT sites than it has to do with duping. Believe it or not, RWT sites do buy items from game playing farmers. So what we have is a general "if we dont sell it neither do you" kind of policy being enacted, directly or indirectly.
Chameleons...I could cry Im so happy
Jalepeno...I could cry Im so angry
I sacrificed 4 beloved Sprite Stars that I EARNED to make...a Jalepeno in a Sombero.
wtf
i can understand the ut items being sb, but uc eggs? wtf is your deal kabam....
WHITE BAGS:
Plane x4 Cwand x1 Scammy x10
Ep x3 Csword x6 Inc x5
Dlabe x1 Cbow x1 treasure x8
Invisible bullets
How does it work?
i seem to have died just now in some fashion relating to this glitch/bug out of nowhere.
i tp'd from glands to a guy from a low tier desert (where the sandmen and cones can be found) made it there only to find myself after teleporting instantly killed by a ghost god.
i was as shocked as anyone who was died from such glitches/bugs can be.
lost my last wc tops and maxed char out of the bin.
but there goes the undeniable fact that "death is part of the game blahblahblah..."
but dying from bugs that were not even the players fault is not as good as self inflicted death.
I thought the way they're handing out those hotfixes so fast means they could have jotted it out of the current problem's realm has.
Hat's off to you, Kabam.
portals
Still takes about 10-30 seconds for portals to show up after standing on top of them. It took me almost a full minute to see the WC door after someone opened it.
.
@Seustwo RWT sites do not
@Seustwo
RWT sites do not factor into that decision. Eggs were not selling as much as Msellers thought, so they altered the game in order to sell more.
If you think otherwise, you may be mentally handicapped.
A reasonable price would have been 30 cents for an uncommon egg, beginners would have seen the power of this new feature. A greedy semi-cognizant tool at the helms of the realm would rather exploit and plunder. Welcome to Kabaam.
@skeetvessel
That portal radius bug is by far the most annoying for me currently.
Edit:
Nah, actually my two most annoying are currently load times and godlands stat pot drop rate
NPE, vids
ty kabam but
what about the pot drops? i mean players are saying that there abnornally low......and i say that a pot should come with an egg in the glands.
Erm...
"All Untiered Items and all Pet Eggs Uncommon and above are soul bound"
Is it forever or just a temporarily?
JupiterJ
.
Turning off whispers is a good start, can we also have a key-bind to disable all global chat?
I know it's anti-coop but some of us like to just kill stuff and run dungeons without the chat taking up 50% of the screen.
*edit: ah that's part of the turning off chat. thanks! just what i've needed for a long time
realmeye.com/player/RR
No.. Undo that..
"All Untiered Items and all Pet Eggs Uncommon and above are soul bound"
Undo that.. I'm telling you if it's not un soul bound within 2 days you would have lost half of your players... Just... UNSOULBOUND! Soul bounding UT's isn't fixing duping! All it's doing for you is making you lose players! All 4 of my friends left because they can't buy gear for there chars! JUST UN SOUL BOUND WE ALL WANT IT! Instead of soulboudning everything why don't you just find a fix for duping! Like no trading within 4 blocks of a portal and if they traded outside of that area and then walked into it just make it so it cancels the trade! THERE! SIMPLE! Now unsoulbound!
Bailey Retschlag
Yes, I've been saying that aswell.
EITHER make it so it's like a 90% Chance of it being a pot and a 10% Chance of it being an egg or make it so you always get a Egg and a Pot in the same bag.. This past week or so i've gotten maybe 3 pots in glands and about... Ahh idk.. 50 EGGS... Seriously... Noone wants eggs more then pots.. I assure you.. They would all rather have pots UNLESS if they needed a specific type of egg OR they didn't have a pet yet.. And also while you're at it.. Unsoulbound everything.. Like.. Now?
Bailey Retschlag
Sigh...
They need to SB anything of potentially high value so that they can fix duping without worrying about potential mass dupings of UTs and higher rarities of eggs.
Would you really find it fun if someone had a fourth of a full vault of duped Pyras and sold them for 3 def, or even worse, fed them all to his pets to illegitimately achieve a divine pet? Like they've said before, these soul bindings will eventually cease when the time is just.
~Have faith... except for the GLand pot rates, those need a fixin'.
Yeah..
If you ask me they should stop worrying about those stupid fu**ing pets and make a duping fix.. If they hadn't come out with that pet update there would of been a fix already.. Stupid pets you both made the game better but made it worse for us traders...
Bailey Retschlag
There are at least a dozen
There are at least a dozen different ways to fix duping immediately but they would involve work and would not instantly make boatloads of money for Kabam. Thus, they don't fix duping and instead release pets with food packages that cost $20. Please, fix duping. A child could fix duping. A monkey of below-average intelligence could fix duping. A paperweight could fix duping. A Kabam dev could fix duping, but chooses not to.

@ xXMADXx
There's something wrong with you if you can almost die twice in godlands while not playing.
Teasing aside, you've still got a lot of work to do, devs, but at least you seem to be stumbling in a more meaningful direction with the game. You know, you wouldn't have to worry about all this 'which items should be SB' stuff if you'd just remove the trading system all together and let us live in the simpler times when I was more generous and drop-trading was the only way to trade. I want to see "Trustee - the trusted trade helper" (or something similar) advertised again--it just rolls off the tongue so nicely.
My opinion
I'd rather have duping, than all the bugs resulting from trying to patch it. I would rather screw up an imaginary economy than a really awesomely fun game.
Renouncing Guild
Is still broken... I am a leader in my guild. I still cannot renounce and the founder still can't boot me.
-------Silverina
Good.
Thank you for at least trying to correct some of these problems, and devoting time and energy to solely getting this game back on track. 'Haters gonna hate,' but know that this is a step in the right direction. I imagine you guys have a whiteboard filled with serious known bugs... keep crossing them off and, with time, user opinion will rise.
Wow. Just SB everything
Wow. Just SB everything again.
I HAVE THE NUMBERS-Every Msellers argument response win
I can't leave my guild
I am a leader of my guild and i have got a little bored of it and thought that i should go to a differant one. I pressed yes i'll quit and nothing happens. Why is this???
Chat Font is still hardly readable
My default game setup:
Pre Build 12 (original RotMG Chat Font)
perfect
Build 12 (new Font)
unreadable
Build 12.4 (high quality chat setting ON)
hardly readable
Could you please just return the original chat font, it was the most readable one.

Not all UT's are SB.
Incs are not SB, only cheater armors are SB, the rest are not. I have a D-Blade that I got from an Abyss, and as of now I am poor because I cannot sell it. I understand whats happening, but what about the rest of us? The rest of this community that aren't @$$H0|E5
SB everything again
Please? Pretty please?

*By game, I mean the one where you run around and kill monsters for loot. Not the one where you stand in nexus all day trying to "increase your wealth" without any risks.

Ideas From a College Student Studying Computer Science
Information
I do not know what's going on behind your closed doors, but you need to sort it out. And I do understand not needing to share everything with your player-base, but I honestly think you could remove a lot of hate and rage-quitting by informing us of your plans. This would also build confidence and loyalty between yourself and your
player-base. These forums are dirty with hate and rage, but with a little information given out, you could make them much cleaner and easier to use for new players. Honestly, if anyone just read the forums before playing they would not be likely to want to play this game, almost every post gets de-railed into some anti-kabam thread.
Features
Also, I do not understand why you are implementing new features to your code base when there are bugs. Every coder knows that bugs compound on themselves. While your new specific module may be squeaky clean, your old module is not and when it tries to handle/process the incoming data you get a worse bug than you had before i.e. invis bullets. You should attempt to go back to the oldest "clean" build, then work out your issues and re-implement your clean modules one at a time fixing known bugs and errors as you go. While this may not seem to be a new revenue source, you would find that the retention and happiness of players would bring you more money in the long run. My guild used to buy keys etc, but now they rarely play, and most just log on to read patch notes.
Revenue
This is a great game and it will generate revenue in greater quantities if it runs smoothly. New players will be turned-off at all the anti-kabam chat in the nexus and the realms (which is rather hefty right now), but you can fix this by treating the game as broken and working to fix the current bugs rather than implementing new features.

@PeeBreak
I like what you posted and much of it was posted already from other players. I've never seen Kabam take a common sense approach to fixing things. It's a history of keep putting out more enhancements to make as much money as possible even if a build isn't completed aka New Pets.
The New Pets is cool but is lacking removing some which is still in development apparently, so this makes this idea incomplete yet again.
Plus, build 12 was a complete disaster. It was like a hacker did some things from the inside. Effecting Oryx speech, Ent Ancient tree rings, invisible shots, etc. It was probably the worse build I've ever seen in the history of RotMG releases.
As far as sharing, Kabam doesn't like doing that either, removes any stress for deadlines.
ie: "Performance enhancements"
I assume by their standard the Loading bug to nexus was a released enhancement. It's like Microsoft releasing a bug update for Internet Explorer to fix the bugs from bugs fixes themselves.
Anyway, I don't think they actually read these forums much and that proved real after they posted their own R 12.0 bug report and miss tons of them in their list and said post any here not knowing they already posted so many more than Kabam admitted to.
Sorry, PeeBreak
I guess you never looked at Kabam's other forums. I remember during acquisition, that was the first thing all the concerned players did, and, surprise surprise, they were hellstorms.
We are not people. We do not have opinions. We are numbers with money.
Oh jeez, what am I doing now?
Dear Kabam
Why make uncommon eggs soulbound? Because players had something worth while to trade for in building their pets so you just have to take this away from them?
Why are you guys so insistent in making the game difficult? This game is supposed to be somewhat laid back and fun and you have taken the fun outta it. It's a grind fest and with your continuous releases of buggy updates and restrictions, you've single handily changed the most popular game into something that isn't fun any more.
Please read these posts and take some of them seriously.
You know what...
I left a nice, mature comment on the Loading Issues page a couple days ago and then I see this.... AND I AM LIKE HELLA!
I was excited KABAM i was truly excited, and then a couple things happened.
Thank you, Thank you very much KABAM

While fighting, if you arrow over some of the text area you cannot shoot.
Not sure when this started but I noticed this recently and it's annoying.
@Silverina
I cannot believe there are so many petty bugs from simple release updates ?!?!
But perhaps they re re-vamping the whole game as they push updates or they have the worst programmers still in grade school, idk.
Crossing fingers fro things to get fixed. WildShadow never left their clienteles hanging, they came up with a fix after an update and BOOM, things worked.
Remaining bugs which surfaced with Release 12:

It's a start
You finally gave players the option to remove chat. Now if you would remove pets while you're in there maybe some of us will come back. I recommend working on all of these while you're changing things around.
