hey all,

I've created a thread here to provide feedback from playing on the test worlds with the potential buff bar Fix on it.

Very cool to be able to test before the fix goes into the live game :)

It definitely looks like an improvement thus far. One thing I have noticed is that the reaper necklace buff icon isn't clearing.

Steps to reproduce:
-Equip reaper necklace
-Attack something to build stacks on buff bar
-Unequip the reaper necklace (or switch to a different amulet)

Edit:
Also noticed that the weapon poison buff icon doesn't disappear after death. Steps:
-Apply (drink) some weapon poison
-Die and be sent to Death's office
-Wait for the timer to run out - the icon remains on the buff bar

I really don't know what's changed but I know that there's a divination potion running out because its on the most left, followed by combat buffs/debuffs. Also can't see how to align-right so I can put it on like the right side of the screen too..

But the icons don't stay after running out so long maybe. Were 'smart' tech speed stuff targets achieved but not the UX targets? My ideas dump thread

I noticed in recent weeks that my Avatar Habitat boost icon was not visible for a short while, and that the positioning of buff bar icons was odd. And today when I logged in, I noticed I had an icon for a boost to Constitution, even though my hit points weren't boosted.

I logged in to the test world.

The Constitution boost icon was visible. I couldn't test the Avatar Habitat, since clan citadels are different worlds. So I slew some goblins, and made a bonfire with their bones.

Everything worked normally; but while the Constitution icon blinked off when the warmth of the bonfire wore off, it then reappeared. So it may be that while the fix avoids creating corruption to a user's data, it can't cope if the corruption was created before the fix.

Hey, these look like live issues rather than beta specific issues, we'll get some live bugs written up for them so they can be fixed though. Senior Gameplay Programmer

Sounds good, thanks :) Haven't noticed any issues with it failing to update otherwise, so the fix is looking promising so far.

Just finished testing out on a ed2 run up to Verak (i can use many buffs there to test). buffs seem fine and didn't disappear (typically they mess up around 5 minutes after re-logging for me on main client). not sure if its an issue with the test server, but I did have a noticeable lag the entire time I was on the server despite being forced into minimal graphics.
