[QUOTE="catsclaw227, post: 4665529, member: 14197"] Have you considered the idea that some (or many) of the bugs you thought you had weren't quite as bad as you thought? EDIT: I realized that this post might sound snarky... FAR from my intent. It is mostly to point out the difficulties of bug reporting, tracking and fixing. If we really want to help fix the bugs, when we find one, we need to be vigilant and try to narrow down where we think the actual exists, and why. Some bugs seem big if you happen to stumble on the one rare exception when it happens. In [URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/general-rpg-discussion/250330-dungeons-dragons-insider-subscribers-you-satisfied-your-subscription-3.html#post4664696"]another thread[/URL], you claimed that ruffian rogues and maces don't calculate right: Then, after a follow up post claimed it worked fine for them, you "clarified" to say that it was a Bugbear using a large weapon - certainly not as common. And in about 5 min, [URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/general-rpg-discussion/250330-dungeons-dragons-insider-subscribers-you-satisfied-your-subscription-3.html#post4664925"]it was determined[/URL] that it was only with Bugbear and Large Maces and Large Clubs because of the Ruthless Ruffian thing, and that with a Large Dagger (for instance) it works just fine. That's an even narrower configuration. You even said, above in the quote, that you didn't want to list specifics about your bugs because you might get a response where someone refutes your bug claim. Do you think it's possible that your bugs aren't as bad as you feel they might be? It's also best, if you are willing to submit bug reports to help improve the product, to be very specific with your submission so that they can pinpoint the issues. Tracking and repairing bugs reported by users is very difficult because, more often than not, the bug reports are vague. I've even gotten bug reports that simply say.. "It doesn't work." Not helpful. :) [/QUOTE]
