The EC has a few gnawing bugs that really need to be addressed. #2 and 5 are game stoppers, while the rest are mainly annoying and facepalm worthy. (#1 and 3 should be easy fixes...)
#1 - The Star Field Under Malas
Notice how it stretches the father away from the avatar it gets? It didn't used to be this way. Originally, it was a very nice looking field of stars with a ripple effect no matter where you happened to be standing. Now it looks like warp drive experiment gone awry. Please unstretch it.
#2 - The Giant Horde Minion
(image from the CC)
This mob doesn't exist at all in the EC. If EMs use it, EC users see NOTHING (sometimes not even text if they speak). If this mob attacks you, you're generally SOL. Please patch in this mob.
#3 - Reversed Necklace Graphics
These are the two human/elf necklace types.
This is the BEADED necklace on the EC paperdoll:
This is the PENDANT necklace on the EC paperdoll:
They are reversed. Please swap the numbers so the item graphic matches the worn graphic.
#4 - Ruined Tapestry
This is item 18704. It hangs way too high on the wall in both clients and cannot be lowered. If you raise it through the floor so it hangs properly on the wall above, you can still see it from the floor below.
Please canter it, or drop it down to the floor and allow us to raise it to a spot of our liking.
(Note: the gargish mirror has the exact opposite of this problem..)
#5 - Ring of Fire/Supernova/Big Explosions
These effects are used by mobs like the Slasher, Primeval lich, Corgul, Virtuebane and nearly every EM boss mob. When the mob spams these effects, it brings the EC to its knees and it either freezes and/or crashes. The problem isn't with our connections, nor our video cards (I run an GeForce GTX 980 and 16 gigs of ram so I know its not my machine), the problem is with how the client renders the effects (particularly the one consisting of hundreds of flamestrikes).
For the love of your players, please fix these effects in the EC so we don't dread boss mobs.
#6 - Books
Mesanna mentioned a possible incoming fix for them months ago, but we haven't heard anything since.
This one can be game stopping and is definitely annoying. Right now, an EC user will destroy an unleafed book written in the CC simply by opening it. CC users can't read a book written in the EC as most of the text is missing.
I know that some of the hesitance on this issue is "ruining" legacy books, ASCII art specifically. Why not leaf ALL books in the game and allow books created prior to a publish to open in a legacy view mode, while all new books open in a new text editor that functions the same in both clients.
While slightly messy, it may be the quickest way to fix the book issue once and for all.
Thank you.
