Known Issues - January 5, 2012

Two coats available for male Pirates through the Tailors on Tortuga, Cuba, and Padres de Fuego are displaying in the catalog as "Error, no name". These coats may also turn up in loot dropped by defeated enemies.

This is a bigforum but I'm wondering where are all the testers. This sub-forum is barely active with test discussions.

This is pretty typical when the new release goes to live. When they release a major update to test that has yet to hit live, this section picks up a bit. Also data miners who find new images in the phase files sometimes post here, which may bring a flurry of comments.

IDK why people comment on the update in the NEWS section rather than the HELM. My guess is that they never added the Helm as a group and therefore they do not have the rights to post here.

Finally they're noticing PvP is messed up right now... I haven't been able to do any games since Ship Customization hit Live. I hope they'll fix those bugs on the Live Oceans soon, too.
