Sorry to spoil your day, but according to Herby this is progress. Instead of fixing the glitches and bugs lets just create even more. Hmmm, I wonder if Herb is a politician.

READY TO VOMIT over the damn changes that are just making yet more bugs. Why can't they focus on fixing bugs rather than putting in NERF's then bugging those out too??? Want to scream.

Are you sure of this? No one else in my guild noticed it.

If you refresh your game, you'll have the rewards. It is only a display glitch.

I would rather that they spend their resources fixing bugs that affect the game, like lost rewards in the Lab or no auto collect of Gems in the Arena, that display bugs that do not affect the game.

Also, I see a lot of clamoring for new content, specially because some players have reached the 'glass ceiling' (you can see that there is something beyond where you are but can not get there) that on display bugs or cosmetic enhancements, like making some female NCPs clothing skimpier.

As far as bugs being introduced, a longer test cycle will fix that but then it will take longer to introduce the changes. Part of the problem in finding bugs in testing is that is done by putting the code in the beta server and relying on the bta players reporting the bug. Even though the beta players are supposed to be testing the changes, most, if not all, of them are really just playing and may not stumble across a bug. If a beta player had reported this problem it probably would have been fixed before going to the game servers. I say probably because they have to decide if fixing a display bug is worth delaying the release of the patch. In this particular case it would not because the patch contained functio that had to be active on February 13 (the reduced cost for the Card Broker).

we are the beta servers. I got a feeling they will do exactly like they did before and introduce Tynon AGe 2 in about 6 more months

Lol don't think they'll go that far :P but we'll be playing a whole new game in 2 months if you catch my drift...

That bug has been around a long time. You still got the reward, you just didn't see it. I've had that. Maybe it will get fixed, "on the next push" :)

I would not mind that as long as, if we want to, we can transfer my account (this implies that I would no longer be able to use that toon in the exiting game) to the new game and get credit for all the Gems that I have ever bought. There should be a time limit to take advantage if this (getting the Gems).
