is it still worth reporting bugs?
 

hello!

over the last few months i have posted reports of bugs with a level of seriousness that ranges from insignificant to critical/game-breaking. however none of these have been addressed and with the person who usually addresses bugs presumably missing but without confirmation this looks unlikely to change any time soon

i therefore ask whether it is even worth continuing to report bugs?

Yes. Stefan wasn't the only person you know? Unixmad can program too according to his resume. And he's been more active lately aswell.

unixmad is a pioneer of the internet according to his résumé

I think it says in his country. Which I have no idea of. I believe he can program because it's not hard and he has the source code. It's always worth reporting stuff.

Pretty sure Unixmad has things under control.

@Jakov: Where have you posted the bugs?

hello!

i have previously assembled a large list however i believe the critical ones are as follows:

• bitwise operations no longer working on serverside
• not possible to set a community name after gold subscription expires
• not possible to read strings that begin with a number in player.attr[] values
• logging on a registered account transfers stats from a previous guest account, but there is no serverside event to track this (so sql data for example can also be transferred)

thank you!

Don't think thats a bug. You have to set ur community while you are Gold.

i think that has to be a bug because i dont see why it would deliberately be made so that previously upgraded players cannot register a community name after their gold expires

I am sure this is not a bug lol. But since Graal is f2p we could lift that gold upgrades completely. On GK Players can only join kingdoms with a community name which is fine. Just need to make communitynames for free :)

well lets put it like this:

either it has deliberately been made so that once a players gold subscription expires they can no longer register a community name

OR

it is a bug

------------

it would also be good to have some official confirmation that graal is free to play as otherwise it still seems like speculation

If graal is intentionally f2p and not just hey no one's looking let's remove restrictions ourselves. Or as long as it's universally free. They should allow you to set a community name then. Would be a great improvement since guest accounts all use guest for community names. And players without community names are blank. Lifetime and players with community names show. And this was a recent problem on gk with the samurai king vote system. Would be nice to remove the fragmentation and make people set a community name for free.

If Graal is f2p and everyone were allowed to set a community name for free the system should be changed to be identical to the old account creation system. This way people could choose their community name when the account is created and since the Graal###### account identifier should normally be hidden from players it would create the illusion that every account is the same having a unique account name and would remove the frustration from this confusing quest account/community name system. It would also help to remove the stigma of having a quest account with a community name instead of a real account name but only if it is designed in such a way that the two are indistinguishable to the normal player.

As someone who does a lot of scripting, I am always sick of hunting down Graal###### accounts, and doing multiple conditional checks for things beyond player account names. I also noticed a bug with someone who hadn't issued themselves a community name, and I couldn't add them to RC. It was very strange.

I always add by Graal### to server options. I've noticed there used to be conflict with nc if you didn't. Don't know if that ever got fixed or not. Wasn't aware you couldn't add people who don't have a community name at all.

I miss community names, but I understand the alternative...

Wouldn't it be neat if Graal had something like FogBugz or some other bug tracking system? I think Jak's feedback can be important for fixing bugs.
