Testing Serpent Trials: Problems

We are testing the Serpent Trials/1.4 on PTS to try and give feedback. But, a couple oversights with the PTS system are making it more difficult:

1) Maxed crafting, but no traits. This means we cannot craft the set gear most players would use.
2) No Undaunted skill line. This means tanks cannot use a ranged taunt. This is a big problem for testing PVE content.
3) Mage's guild/Fighter's guild abilities are not leveled or morphable without grinding.
4) No PVP abilities. Specifically, Rapid Maneuvers, Caltrops, Warhorn and Barrier.


Regardless, we are testing and will post problems we find for your review.

Current Found bugs/problems (working list):
1) Chests in the Serpent Trials despawn once looted and do not provide loot to the entire raid.
2) The walls of the platform to right side of the first boss can be climbed, allowing the raid to bug/exploit trash before the boss and potentially avoid some boss mechanics.
3) There is a bug with trait researching, where a player can only research one trait at a time, regardless of skill points invested.
4) There is a bug with the second "Stage" of Dragonstar arena, where your player can sometimes have a temporary "frozen" status permanently. This is a graphical-only bug where the "snow flakes" remain around your screen, and your player remains ice-colored. This bug persists through death and reloading UI.
5) Occasionally dropping a Standard of Might will allow a player to "Hit E to Talk to Standard of Might."

    Agree 100% about the traits, Granted tho we don't NEED those sets but they would make a HUGE difference for everyone.

    to add to your list I would say:
    The Undaunted skill book disappears once you open the bag its contained in before you can use the book, Thus not unlocking the Undaunted skill line.

    I can confirm that the stones do not negate any of the boss mechanics, however :). His aoe pools and other things hit you juuuuuuuuuust fine as one guy trying to joke around during the tries I was in this evening can attest after losing most of his health then jumping to try to save himself and dying from the fall damage :p.

    Exploits suck. Don't blame just the game, blame the players abusing them!
