That was something that was cut due to respec considerations. Basically if you respec, you lose your bonus point, which sucks. We can fix this, but it's one more task on the giant list o' tasks. Skill rewards for PvP is still definitely something we want to do, I don't know if it will take the form of a skill point, or special skills, or both.

So yes, it was cut for release based on time considerations.

Yes, it is something we intend to bring back in the future, in some form.

We just verified that yes, in fact, New Zealand residents are invited to apply for this opportinity as well. We will adjust the application to reflect that shortly.

If the bug is reproducible then it will be easy to turn it back on and generate a log. For issues that are difficult to reproduce then we still have the Flog database on our end. Often times the logs that we get don't have enough logging in them to investigate an issue.

What really helps is a detailed description of what happened and how to reproduce it so that our test and development teams can observe what is happening.

@Mr Grumpy
Not everyone is hitting the bugs that result in massive log spam.

Unpredictability: Grappling is gone, but that doesn't mean you can't still get some grappling bonus from that line.

Taelorn is at it again, this time with a Devlog on our continuing series devoted to features and improvements for the 1.2 build.

Taelorn is talking about skill tuning this round, and you can read all about it by visiting this link.

Enjoy, won't you?

I wanted to respond to a few specific things here...

Isn't this exactly the way it works right now? When I right click on an item in my inventory or warehouse I get a dialog that says, "Are you sure you want to throw away 13 units of Mast Brace, Rough? You cannot recover it." Split Stack also has a confirmation of sorts in that it prompts you for how much you want to split off.

These are all great ideas, and the UI strike team is going to look at these and more when they get to the inventory and AH UIs. However, next up for them is...

Hear hear! The UI for turn-in missions is HORRIBLE. The UI strike team is going to entirely replace it in 1.3 with something that you might actually WANT to use. And it won't use missions anymore, so the mission list limit won't get in the way.

I reckon it can be fixed. Also, as Brady said, we're putting out the option to turn off client logging.

We had to remove auto join in beta for awhile because of a game-breaking issue. It was horrible. Basically, you could never fight as a group. There are situations where it was desirable, but on a global scale it was a mess.

The upcoming launch in Australia has put some extra load on our web guy, but once that's past he'll be back to UC 2.0. We hope for it to be live within a few weeks.

Also can you attach a dump file to your support ticket? Details on how to turn on crash logging are in this post: http://www.burningsea.com/forums/showthread.php?t=9456
