• Lumps of Coal Turn-in Disabled. The Lumps of Coal turn-in was originally fixed to reward Unique Snowflakes and/or Fae Yule food with this week’s hotfix. Unfortunately it didn’t consume any Lumps of Coal on turn-in. It has since been disabled until a fix can come in. [r]

• Minions Info:
  
  • Text Bugs. There’s currently a few text bugs making the rounds since the most recent hotfix. One shows negative stamina for minions and another shows 6-star ratings on all adventures. Snedhepl is investigating both. [r] [r]
  • Minion Adventure Achievement Bug. New Minion adventure achievement was added pushing the highest ‘adventures completed’ total to 10k. Unfortunately there’s a bug right now where it only displays 1/10,000. Rest assured Snedhepl has stated that this will be fixed in the next hotfix and any progress you have will be saved. [r] More achievements to come. [r]

• Tacitus Explains Bug-Reporting. Tacitus has explained that for time-critical, active exploits, you should PM a dev/s on the forums because internal reports of in-game bug reports are created at the end of each night. Also, for bug reports you should provide as much information as possible. [r]

• Rift Loot Bag Intentions. Tacitus has confirmed that if Trion ever decides to look into fixing the Rift Loot Bag, it will most likely be to make players auto-loot the bag when they open it. It is not meant to be another inventory slot. [r] This was in response to a player asking that the bag be fixed so it does not loot everything sometimes, so this may not indicate any changes happening soon.
