The Church of Alvis

Just going to keep a running tab here for people of what's currently broke, or could be a nerf that's not listed in the patch notes.

Currently the GTN in unavailable with no ETA.

Level 340 mission drops (ie the ones that come as drops and are consumable) are currently giving 50% of the rewards they were prepatch. For example, a lvl 340 slicing mission was giving 6 blue and 3 purple mats, are now giving 3 and 2 respectively. Currently unknown if this is a bug or intended, but I'd wait on cashing in any missions until BW clarifies.

Players can no longer use some abilities near ledges to avoid taking falling damage.

BOOOOOOO!!!! BOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

Hide head slot also seems to be broken. I logged into 2 chars and their head slot items were showing again and toggling it in preferences did nothing.

odd, mine were showing, but I clicked off and then on again, and it was back to normal.

Reading on the forums apparently it's sproadic, and it will take after 1 or more attempts. I see alot fo clicking in my future.

From what I read from a dev post is that preferences is broken but if you do it on the character sheet where you unify the color it does work, haven't tried that myself but thought I'd post in case that works.

The character sheet works, the other way does not work.

I think the character sheet also has the checkbox inverted where off is on. Just click it a few times and it will work.

So BW has acknowledged they are looking into the Crew Skill mission discoveries, which tells me it's probably a bug.

Also they have now officially said that no story mode op rewards black hole comms except the weekly. Including completing EC. The thing in the patch notes about getting 10 BHCs for completing story mode EC is for the 1 time quest only. This also includes TFB, so no BHCs from those bosses either, so there is little incentive for us to do story mode except to learn the mechanics, and my future scheduling is going to reflect that FYI.

Hooray!

...about the reflection of the recent BH changes...

...not about the awfulness that is BH-comm-free EC SM...

A periodic sweep of Story Mode to make sure everyone had a shot to get the vehicle quest objective isn't unreasonable, but it shouldn't be an over-riding consideration at this point.

This is now confirmed as a bug and will be fixed in "an upcoming patch". So sit on your mission discoveries until it's fixed.

From today's patch notes...

UI
General
•The "Hide Helmet" option is no longer located in the preferences. It can be accessed via the character window.

Gotta love BW, why fix when you can just remove!!!

I feel like my mission discoveries are back to normal, been getting a fair number of crits and the old number of crit items for the past few days at least. Unless I don't remember the real number. This is possible.

EDIT: They say it's now fixed in patch notes, maybe I'll get more and I was just used to the new lower figure. In that case, it'll be a tiny Christmas, and I'll fear for my memory.
