I, for one, am enjoying the new 3bc content and airships. Sure, there are bugs, but that comes with a "Free to Play" game. It just comes with the territory of F2P games.
Unless you farmed for the points, you had to pay for 3BC to play that "free" stuff.
It was another clusterfuck where they broke MAJOR stuff as well as released broken stuff:
Airships:
•NEW: Airship interior trim dyes do not work on some airships.
-- Okay, Not a major deal... maybe this isn't all bad?
•NEW: New Airship Amenities are not currently appearing in chests. This will be fixed in a future update. Pre-Update 22 amenities (such as the pre-U22 XP shrines) remain available in the Cargo Hold for purchase, and new Update 22 permanent versions are available for Astral Shards.
•NEW: The Banquet Hall Spirit Binder does not bind a character to the airship, but instead binds characters to the Rusty Nail tavern in The Marketplace.
•NEW: Airship tavern amenities are not currently working correctly, and are not allowing for spell swaps, usage regeneration, and other tavern area effects. Additionally, Airship hot tubs and top decks are not providing tavern area benefits.
•NEW: The First Mate does not allow players to deposit platinum or other coinage (but does allow players to deposit Astral Shards.)
•NEW: Iron Defenders are not getting buffs from the "Buff Bar".
Crafting:
•NEW: Many forms of item crafting (Greensteel, Cauldron of Sora Katra, etc.) are not currently functioning. This will be fixed in the near future.
•NEW: Many recipes in the Altar of Epic Rituals are not working. This will be fixed in the near future.
•NEW: Cannith Crafting Item Deconstruction is not currently working. This will be fixed in a future update.
•NEW: Cannith Crafting Shard devices are not displaying ingredients correctly in their UI, although the device consumes the materials correctly.
Enhancements:
•NEW: The Kensei Agility enhancement's tool tip displays incorrect information when taken or reset until the character logs out and then logs back into the game.
-- Okay, two that aren't a big deal (just display).
•NEW: The Swashbuckler's Coup de Grace enhancement is not working on a Fascinated or Sleeping creature.
•NEW: The Assassin's (and Drow's) Venomed Blades enhancement is preventing sneak attacks.
Feats:
•NEW: Players will see an "invalid advancement data" error when taking a Single Weapon Fighting feat outside of initial Character Creation if that player takes the necessary ranks in balance during the level in which they attempt to take the feat. This issue can be avoided by putting the necessary ranks in Balance while in an earlier level.
•NEW: The monk's Ten Thousand Stars feat is not currently available to be taken as a Class Feat, but can be taken as a regular feat, once the requirements are met.
Guilds & Airships:
•NEW: Global Broadcasts celebrating a guild hitting milestones above level 150 are being re-broadcast when a guild reaches the threshold again (due to decay.)
-- Okay, this is not a major issue at all, so it can be "forgiven".
Items:
•NEW: Shining Crescents currently benefit from Single Weapon Fighting feats, even though it is a two-handed weapon. This will be fixed in a future update.
-- Wow, a first! Something beneficial to the players: An exploit posted! Hurry and use it before it goes away!
•NEW: Attempting to use a Key to the City - Eveningstar from a Veteran Status airship (Heart of Wind) will prevent your character from being able to return to the Heart of Wind. Please do not do this!
•NEW: Older versions of the Libram of Silver Magic are not updating correctly if they were stored in a bank or TR cache when Update 22 was released. Players affected by this should contact Customer Service for assistance.
-- Yes, we said we fixed it. No, we did fix it. Why is everyone asking about something that is fixed? Okay, maybe there is an issue with some small amount of players and we will do it by hand...
Quests:
•Eveningstar
•NEW: The pigeons located near the Eveningstar mailbox have been taking voice lessons from parrots.
-- Okay, this is not a major issue at all, so it can be "forgiven".
House Cannith
•The Lord of Blades
•NEW: The elemental teleporters will only teleport one character. This will be fixed in the next game update.
The Shadowfell Conspiracy
•Breaking the Ranks
•NEW: Some Shadar-Kai have the wrong outfits on.
-- Okay, another on that is not a major issue at all, so it can be "forgiven" as well.
The Path of Inspiration
•Dream Conspiracy
•NEW: The puzzle room tiles can stop working, preventing quest completion.
•Three Barrel Cove
•NEW: The Heroic Rare Ithun Orenah appears on Epic difficulty.
•NEW: The DM text that displays when an airship is destroyed in displaying more frequently than intended.
-- Okay, not a major issue at all. But, we don't care about our product enough to proofread what we post iS (sic) an official thread...
•Precious Cargo
•NEW: Ranged attacks against moving airships will miss unless the attack targets and hits the center of the airship.
NEW: Spell Critical effects sometimes post messages to the Combat Log about bonuses not stacking for effect types they do not actually provide.
-- Way to end on a high not. This is just an annoyance and not a major issue. Congrats!
28 new bugs that they admit to and numerous others. What kinds of bugs? How about issues with selling stuff to your pawn vendors?
