W00T!  I was in for 5 whole minutes and spent my whole time writing /bugs!  Didn't fight once!

Anyway, I thought I would come here to compare notes. 

First thing I'm sure everyone noticed was the many missing items.  It seems that all of the Pandora's stuff was missing, as well as any Hideout and Archive drops.

Next thing was the wacky bonuses left on the items that did survive.  I had a Program Launcher that gave some very odd bonuses (no screenies....doh!) and all of my enhanced items were totally different.

Next thing, it seems that loadout switching was disabled.  I couldn't unload any of the abs that I had when I came in, except by macro.  I don't know about loading abs, because I was still writing the ticket for the unloading bug when it went down.

I'm pretty excited.  Hopefully the next time it comes up I will get to see what combat is like!


Please note the Known issues list at the top of this thead posted by the OP. I believe that one of the issues was stated that note all items have been converted to the new system. Hence gray icons in some individuals inventories.

Ah I see the difficulty, I appoligize for the confusion as. Any items that are either missing or appear in your inventory as gray icons are simply not converted yet. It is not the intension that items of any kind be removed. In this case it is simply that they items you are missing are simply not converted yet. Once we announce that item conversion is completed and you find that a copied character is indeed missing abilities or items this would be a bug. So please /bug it after we make an announcement that items are finished.

I knew items were being converted.  What I don't think any of us knew was that many items would disappear entirely.  It was a bit...difficult to be a duelist when I had no guns left in my inventory, and couldn't craft replacements.  I figured that anything with attribute bonuses would be switching over to influence bonuses, but this was not the case, rather these items simply disappeared.  Also, many items that had no attribute bonuses switched into entirely new buffs with very little rhyme or reason.  I noted all of the known issues before beginning my reporting, but these issues did not seem to be addressed by that document.  Perhaps the Known Issues list should be updated to better reflect the realities of the QA Server.
