The Incredible Vanguard Bug-O-Matic - BETA

submitted by lifebane on Mar 17th, 2007

Greetings fellow Necromancers.

Are you tired of bugs and posting them in long arse threads of posts?

Have a bug or game issue you wish to make public and present to the devs and class leaders in a neat organized format?

Do you perhaps have a suggestion that you might want to toss out there for the devs and the rest of the necro community to share?

Well then, do I have the thing for you! I formally present to you all "The Incredible Vanguard Bug-O-Matic"!! This is a system that our in-house supreme code monkey Jonaphin has been playing with for a couple weeks in his spare time. It will hopefully make bug / issues / suggestions more organized for the community.

I know what you must be thinking.. "Like OMG Lifebane!! How do I use the Bug-O-Matic! What does it do?!?! OMG! OMG!" The Bug-O-Matic is a Vgnecro.com site tool which you can access from our site and it allows registered site users to read what others have posted already as well as post their own bugs / issues / suggestions. Here is a quick list of features:

* Lets you submit bugs / issues / suggestions

* Lets you search for bugs/ issues / suggestions already in the Buig-O-Matic's database

* It lets you post your own comments relating any bug / issue / suggestion that you view

* It lets you filter your search results by using the Advanced Mode of the Bug-O-Matic

* Exclusive Comment boxes are available for Class Leaders and Dev's to post in so you can check any Official Feedback that we might receive

* Exclusive Toggles are available for Class Leaders and Dev's to set the status of an item from "active", to "fixed", to "as intended", etc.

* The Bug-O-Matic works for all classes, not just Necromancers.

* Additional Functionality in the works for confirmation of submission so that you can see search results similar to the bug you are submitting in order to avoid duplicates.

A Couple things to keep in mind:

1. We are launching this internally to vgnecro only right now to beta test it and see if there are any sneaky bugs within the Bug-O-Matic!!!!
2. If you are posting a new item, make sure it does not already exist. If it does exist you are better off posting comments under the existing item.
3. When you submit an item it will not be immediately visible since it requires approval / censoring by the admin.
4. There are quite a few tweaks we will be making still and some added functionality but we thought it was ready enough to get more eyes staring at it and looking for issues.

PLEASE NOTE: If you have cookies on your system that have been there for awhile you will have trouble using the tool, use the methods on Jonaphin's previous cookie cleaning post to clear em out and let the new ones set in. That post is HERE
