It’s your fault!
Ever wondered why bugs sit in bug section un-actioned for over 2 years?
Well now we know, it’s you fault:
” We appreciate you guys writing up issues found in Bugs section of the UO Forums! Please know that they are checked and we have to confirm them to write them up. The problem is sometimes there really is not enough information to confirm issues submitted. Giving details really helps us and lessens the frustration you guys might have because a bug is not fixed.”

For example @InLor
your bug posted May 2018. may as well be written in Chinese!! so vague and unreproducible..

Please everyone try and do better.
I tell you the truth, tis better to do 10 damage on the right target than 100 damage on the wrong target.

Never be afraid to challenge the status quo
Agree that bug messages should be specific. Would time of date and date also be helpful? Maybe, screen shots?
How unclear are those bugs written about EC map, journal, health bars updating, crystak portal location bug, paper doll bug with tabard, etc?
The most important and most unclear is
why no one from Dev team "clarified" any bugs listed in the bug forum if they call them unclear?
Don't ask me to send to bugs email, that crystal portal issue was emailed like 5 years and still no response. At least posting on bug forum is visible to public and it shall be proof of inaction for X years to come.
As said before,
Customers do not expect you to be perfect. But we do expect you to fix issues, bugs and problems.

I think Kyronix mentioned they will dedicate some time to fix the bugs in coming publish.
Frankly speaking, I think bugs are always a priority. Currently it feels like this is "additional work", so they will do this just once.
Long time ago, maybe during OSI days, they did mention the process of each publish involves passing through QA. I wonder if this position still exist in Broadsword.

Please make the Grizzled Mare a 5 slot mount, it's incredibly rare and deserves it. Some of us have been waiting a long time for this simple addition.
And they need to fix bugs, after a whole year of nothing except EM tools... *yawns*
Unless those EM tools stop lag at EM events, not even real sure what they did em for, other than a QOL thing for the EMs

No one is perfect and in the coding game of the 1990's it was truly in its infancy. If you need to rally at something go for TIME. Time was the biggest enemy of any game out there. The world of coding and making on line games went in leaps and bounds. Professors at CSUN told their classes that by the time the finished the course in programming it would be worthless as the speed of the main stream industry was faster then the teaching.
Today the Dev work hard to make a old language program mesh with the new and not have it cascade to failure. Its why the bugs happen to begin with. Don't go ok then rewrite the game in the new language.... ahhhh no.. there is no budget to take UO off line and pick it apart and redo the whole thing. Much less EA letting them, they would love to sunset this game if given half the chance.
* note to the reader* Silvani and I were good friends in the old days when I was a counselor. When a player asked a hard question or had a difficult problem she and i would put our heads together to get a solution. She was one lady for the player. I miss her dearly.

And what triggers it is trying to change one of the steps, like the second one, or the first one (a different spell), or something... Been away for ages.. came back and saw I was mentioned.
