November involved a lot of tweaks and fixes. This will be the plan for December as well. In most cases, while fixing we are able to update the underlying code. Thus getting to repair a problem and lay groundwork for planned features. As always, please keep that feedback rolling in.
To submit a bug, please go to the website under Player Central. There you will see a Report Bugs option. Select ‘Report a Bug’ under ‘What are you contacting us about?’. This goes straight to our ticket board and therefore will not get lost in a discussion.
When you encounter a problem but are uncertain, you can use the Ask command in game or the channels in Discord to verify that something strange or wrong is happening.
