Major bugs being completely ignored
 

My biggest issue with the current state of Classic is less about lack of content (especially since Nexus was fantastic), but rather the ridiculous amount of issues (since Dusty and others left) that are just going completely ignored. At the very least, we deserve to have Graal running properly. But currently we the players have to deal with the following problems that desperately need some attention:

- The Giant Blob: So, a little while back, winter ended and the spring tileset returned. Along with it, the giant blob. The server was lagging bad every time the blob spawned (given the large amount of people in the area), so rather than put in the effort to properly fix this issue, they put in a band-aid fix which basically reduced the blob's health by 9/10ths, and it now dies literally 30 seconds after it spawns. Also, AFKing in the area now warps you to an inn. Gone are the days of announcing to your guildmates that the blob has spawned, as it always dies before you have a chance to get there. This is not how the blob was ever intended to function.

- Bug spawn rate: With spring returning, so to did the bugs. But apparently the majority of the bugs didn't get the memo. Because the spawn rate is completely broken. I've seen one ladybug since spring started. Butterflies are a rare sight, and black beetles don't seem to have appeared at all. I know there's a number of bugs that don't show up till summer (dragonflies, grasshoppers, mantises), but the current bugs that do spawn are not spawning properly at all. And no one seems to be doing anything about it
Edit - Fixed as of May 13th, 2015

- Vases: The coding for vases was altered a little while back and they've been a complete mess ever since. Clicking on a vase in one's house will cause it to immediately break (even if a visitor clicks it, not just the owner). It's nice that the furniture vases can now be picked up, but even that is functioning oddly. There's a delay between the time in which you pick up a vase, throw it, and pick up another one. In other words you can't spam throw them like you can bushes. The vases are only producing hearts like 1/10th of the time as well. The last 2 issues (the screwed up throwing mechanic and the lack of hearts) also seems to be applied to most of regular non-furniture vases as well (but not all of them, for some reason).

This isn't everything (there's a number of smaller bugs I've noticed as well), but these are some of the biggest problems currently plaguing Classic. It's hard for me to see Classic in this state. In the past I would just post in the future improvements forum and Dusty would be on top of it. I know the current scripter(s) (is there even more than one, currently?) are doing their best, but the fact is; Dusty just did SO much. And with him gone, Classic has no one to keep everything in check. I don't blame him for leaving. It was a thankless job with no pay, and he had to constantly see people whine about the stupidest things imaginable. But Classic just deserves better than this. I mean, is anyone going to do anything about this?

(I know there's a bug reporting thread, but it's long since been abandoned and serves no real purpose anymore. Besides, I want this thread to be seen. So these issues can be addressed)

^This

Where's the bugs?

Just some words, it's not really graal's fault, they made the blob die faster because everyone reported that it'd lag to much...

I'm mostly @ any tower and I see a lot of bee's and sh*t

Graal need updates, but most Admins are just little kids that don't even know a lot about classic..

lol wut why is dusty gone?

he's not. hes just retired, but i think he still contribute his work to graal.

Not many of these are actual bugs anyways, and the thread for bug reporting looks abandoned because there's been no recent reports if you do report them there it will be seen.

Also vases always produce hearts for me, I think that's an error on your side.

Wow, so your going to do nothing. The vases are messed up, I've seen it myself. Can't you people just sort stuff out. I don't mean to be rude, but at this rate, I won't be returning to Classic, even know it did so much for me. Please think about what this guy is saying, he is just sad to see the current state that Classic is in.

Depending on your ap level health jars won't drop for you. Also what do you mean by the sad state classic is currently in? All of the things people complain about have always been there.

I'm not apart of the Classic team, regardless there's nothing much to do as none of these are majour issues just game suggestions

Try making your long walls of rage a little bit more attractive like adding some bolds or underlines.Otherwise,like me most of the peeps just wouldn't bother reading it and consider you a crybaby.

All in all Classic is a good game, you wouldn't play it if not, of course everyone just want to get it better, but without any expierenced admins graal wont get better, just wait.

Well.. I don't play it anymore. For valid reasons that should atleast be attempted to be sorted by the Classic Team. They need to up there game, or they will cost with the slow decrease of player count.

Wow, your attention span is so short that you need a bunch of pretty font effects just to read something?

The opinions of people like you don't really matter to me. It should be pretty obvious why.

You clearly didn't even read the thread..

To be honest I wish more people would quit graal, that'd make it so much better... Less lag.
