September 16th PTS Tests

Testing

• Epic Mod Horde Synergies
• "Easy as Fila, Kama, Dunya" fix
• Serenity Academy TL
• Lockbox Renames
• Charge Blade Prices

While there are several potential fixes currently on the PTS, I'm not in a position to test some of them and others were already tested in the 9/9 review.

I'll start out this review with the changes to Lockbox names. Pretty straightforward, but here's an image to show what you'll be seeing in the near future! These sorts of changes require a bit more than a normal patch, so the next client update will have this one included!

Next up is the Epic Mod Horde! These boxes were changed to exclude all non-Synergy mods. Since coming up with 75 Keycodes is a rather arduous process on the PTS, I've only had the chance to purchase one Epic Mod Horde. The following video shows the purchase of the box and each received mod from my inventory.

This brings me to Charge Blade prices from the Thorn Liro vendor. Currently on the live servers, the Rep cost for the Rare and Legendary Charge Blades have switched places. On the PTS, this has been reverted. Also note that the Scrip cost for the Epic Charge Blade has been reduced a bit.

I was lucky to get the Mount Tam Incursion this evening and was able to roll through the event solo. While I'd like test this event out a few more times, preferably with more people, I noticed no issues with the Threat Level dropping off.

This last test is one that made me quite happy, as I'm sure it will others. There's rarely a day that goes by without someone in Zone Chat asking "Is something wrong with the Easy as Fila, Kama, Dunya mission?!"

Indeed there was. LoCarb posted on the official forums that the first person to do this mission after the nightly restart would have it carry on as intended. Anyone that tried it after that would go to the mission locations and find that no enemies spawn.

Currently on the PTS, there is a fix for this bug!! Fuzzy and I ran a test today (props to her for running the *entire* storyline over the weekend) to check out this fix! I ran the mission first with Fuzzy following me around. After I completed it, she accepted the mission and ran through it without issue. These videos show those runs.
