What problems will be fixed in tomorrow's expansion

[Belle]

Looking forward to the expansion but very concerned about the problems we have been having in the game now.

Will we still land up in the dark ( maybe doors should be kept open )

Will we still have to log off and come back on just to change players?

Will the Karma quests give out the right tier rewards and when you do a quest that you have to give an item will the game quite taking all of that item out of your inventory ( for example quest will ask for "a tiger tooth" and it "will take all the tiger teeth you have in your inventory" the same way it was emptying out your gem collection when you'd give coach his gems ) will this be fixed, pleaseeee.

P.S. To all my friends who have tried to say hi to me in the lobby etc when I'm playing my player "JazzyGirl" I'm not being rude by not answering I've had no chat with that players since the last update which was weeks ago. So hi everyone and hopefully it will be fixed soon.

So excited about the expansion especially gvg gl gl to everyone and I really do love Phantom but please bugs be gone lol

The black room is normally loading in a spot that's outside that of the game world, i think we're still looking into why this is happening, fall through the floor should be resolved and that should fix a major portion of those issues.

We made major fixes to the game that should resolve the issue with changing players at the character selection screen, as well as playing the game in windowed mode.

Karma quests do give out the correct item and they will not take more than required, those were two issues we resolved right away, just had to wait till the expansion to roll it out.

This was done to reduce the number of times that you 'fall through the floor' and end up in the dark. Spawning you higher up in the air gives your computer time to render the floor before you drop through it, so it will probably remain like this unless we come up with a different way to prevent the issue.

I hope that includes priate adventure as well being fixed, have not played it in over a month, and will missing charms return thanks Flo

What was fixed? I noticed that several players were being asked to be zapped from the dark. I had more than one problem with the game freezing and had to use alt-F4 to exit. Although this was inconsistent, there were times when lag was very bad. I remember that at one time Bingo was supposed to open with this expansion and then that was changed to some time after the expansion and so, of course, Bingo did not open. So when will Bingo open now? The chat window can still not be resized. When one tried to do that it just pops back to the initial size. In addition, I noticed that I could not always get my cursor to stay in the text box in order to type and it took several clicks to get it to stay. I didn't spend much time playing the quests because of the lag and the chat problems and also my disappointment with the loss of powers and the need to pay to bring them back up to par (posted in another thread) and so don't know if there were any problems with those, but then I am not overly interested in the quests.

We made some changes that didn't seem to help, so we're still working on this one.

Bingo is still being evaluated...we're having a hard time devoting 5-6 weeks of time to work on it due to the amount of players and participation that it had in Vegas (which was barely any), so we have to do some hard thinking on this one.

The Chat Window has a minimum size that you can shrink it to, this isn't a bug but we will look at some options to make it smaller.

I'm not sure of your issue with the chat box not keeping your cursor in it, I couldn't replicate that tonight. Is anyone else having that issue?

I have had that cursor problem for ages - now i have to log off when changing characters to have the solos and gvg show up for my next chacter- poker has not been fixed - we still have to play whack-a-poker player to ante. How do you know how many people will play Bingo if you havent offered it?

The success of Bingo would probably be dependent on the presentation and whether or not it works correctly. There is another online game system where Bingo is very popular. In the real casinos Bingo is a major attraction for many. Why don't you ask the players, the subscribers, if they are interested in Bingo?

I tried to play poker a few times but gave up due to the problems and I am sorry to hear that the problems still exist. How can you complete a game?

[KathyA888]

I played Bingo in Vegas, (many of us tried) but due to lack of players it was so boring. I would still enjoy Bingo if it was different then in VEGAS. The hall in LIVE looks great but if it is never going be implemented then why not get rid of it.

[SmknJoeM]

I'd probably play bingo for a break every now and then. I didn't even know Vegas had bingo LOL.
